I post this every once in a while: President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

She acquired media outlets from her mother’s estate which never hurts as a start. Once one becomes established in the political power machine…. miracles do seem to occur.🤔😎😙

She was a smart woman. Never once failed to meet the occasion.
