Miami Newspaper Runs Pro-Trump Political Ad Laced With Racial Slurs
An alt-weekly newspaper in Miami ran a pro-Donald Trump political advertisement last week that was laced with racial slurs like the n-word and absurd conspiracies, Axios Miami reported. The profane advertisement, which remained in news boxes through Juneteenth, should have never made it to print, the Miami New Times publisher Adam Simon told Axios. “Naturally, had I seen it, which I should have, I would not have let it run as is,” he said. The publisher said his staff and him typically review all advertisements before they’re published, but Wednesday’s piece arrived just before deadline and he never reviewed it. Now, Simon says the paper will no longer accept last-second ad-buys that aren’t able to be reviewed by staff before going to print. The ad appeared to be placed by Blacks for Trump, a right-wing group that’s often spotted behind the ex-president at many of his campaign rallies. Maurice Symonette, the group’s founder, told Axios that he stands by the advertisement, which showed he and Trump’s mugshots side-by-side. A digital edition of the New Times did not show the advertisement on Thursday.
- The ad ran on the back cover of the New Times June 13–19 print edition. Copies of the issue remained available in news boxes as of Wednesday.
The other side: Maurice Symonette, the Miami activist who founded Blacks for Trump, told Axios he stood by the ad's claims.
- Symonette, who used to go by Maurice Woodside, once belonged to the black supremacist Nation of Yahweh cult, which was accused of plotting 14 murders, according to the Miami Herald.
- Symonette, who also goes by "Michael the Black Man," was charged with conspiracy to commit two murders, but was later acquitted, the Herald reported.

Miami New Times publisher Adam Simon said the oversight has led the paper to overhaul its advertisement review process.

What's the grounds for the suit and under what jurisdiction?
This is crazy.
State of play: Attorney General Andrew Bailey claims that the case was brought solely to smear presumptive presidential nominee Trump going into November's election.
- He argues that the statute of limitations on misdemeanor business records falsification expired in 2019 and that the New York DA never specified "intent to commit another crime."
What they're saying: "We have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail. It sabotages Missourians' right to a free and fair election," Bailey said in a Thursday evening post to X. "Stay tuned."
Statute of limitations pauses when in office. That was ruled previously.
Still, isn't that a Trump brings up in appeal not an outside entity sues over. How did this harm Missouri? Isn't that a necessity for them to bring a suit? If not, then I guess it's time for random states to start suing each other about how they handle their their own laws.
PARTY OF STATES RIGHTS!!
Nope...GOP is nothing more than the Party of WHAT TRUMP WANTS now.
Pretty sure the GOP is gone forever and dead
Honestly they’ve never been about states rights. It’s been about their rights to do what they want and everyone has to do what they want.

Donald Trump PAC Racks Up $860,000 in Unpaid Legal Bills
A political action committee aligned with former President Donald Trump has racked up more than $860,000 in unpaid legal bills, new Federal Election Commission filings show.
Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, has used a number of PACs—including Save America—to support his campaigning efforts ahead of polling day. However, these groups' campaign spending may be stymied by a number of legal obligations.
Analysis by The Washington Post found that legal bills accounted for 85 percent of Save America's May spending, with the PAC accruing an $862,000 tab. The publication reported that the PAC also raised $4,337 in May but spent $4.3 million, ending the month with $4.5 million cash on hand.
The legal bills are related to the former president's numerous court battles. On May 30, Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 hush-money payment made to the adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Missouri AG Andrew Bailey on why he is suing New York:
“No one would think it’s okay for a rogue prosecutor...to take Lincoln off the campaign trail on the eve of the Civil War for speaking out against slavery. Well, that same thing is happening here today with Trump.”

Trump wasn't taken off the campaign trail for speaking out on something. He was on trial for 34 counts of a felony. If he was a rogue prosecutor, it wouldn't have gone past the grand jury. Also if he was a rogue prosecutor and it was trumped up charges (pun intended) there wouldn't have been a conviction in 9 hours.
Why are they do intent on trying to compare him with Lincoln. Lincoln freed the slaves and lead the Union through the civil war, Trump os trying to cause a civil war.
Loony toons! If you can’t see it, you’re not paying attention. IMO

Trump endorses Ten Commandments in Louisiana schools: 'Revival of religion' foxnews
Former President Donald Trump expressed enthusiastic support for displaying the Ten Commandments in public and private schools, calling for a "religious revival" in the U.S.
Trump made the comments on Friday via his proprietary social media platform, Truth Social, following high profile stories covering Louisiana's recent mandate to display the text in schools.
"I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG???" Trump asked in the post, which was typed in all caps.
Trump continued, "THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024."
Louisiana is the first state to require the display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom after Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill into law Wednesday.
Under the legislation, H.B. 71, a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in "large, easily readable font" is required in all public classrooms, from kindergartens to state-funded universities. Over the weekend, Landry touted the bill at a fundraiser in Tennessee.
The displays, which will be paired with a four-paragraph "context statement" describing how the Ten Commandments "were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries," must be in place in classrooms by the start of 2025.
The Ten Commandments are a list of decrees believed to have been revealed by God to the Jewish prophet Moses on Mount Sinai, outlining fundamental ethical laws.
The first and most important commandment is to acknowledge God's nature as supreme deity of the universe, while subsequent commandments include directives not to kill, steal, commit adultery, or covet the goods of another. Other commandments direct humanity to honor the Sabbath and respect one's parents.
Critics accuse the law of violating the First Amendment by compelling religious texts in public institutions.
The American Civil Liberties Union has already announced their intention to challenge the mandate — pointing to a previous U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kentucky in 1980, in which the high court struck down a similar mandate for the display of the Ten Commandments outside courthouses on First Amendment grounds.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has pledged to pass a Ten Commandments mandate in his own state, and Oklahoma lawmakers are considering a similar bill.
Trump said he loved the idea of the Ten Commandments in 'public schools, private schools, and many other places, for that matter'

If a first grader asked Trump what "Do not commit adultery" means, I wonder what would Trump say?
And would Trump order all stores to close on Sunday to keep the Sabbath Day holy?
I never went to a school where the Ten Commandments were displayed. At least I have been to at least one church where the Ten Commandments were posted. But that was long ago when my third-grade class had to move to a church for a week or so, while the school's furnace that blew up could be fixed. Doing schoolwork on the church pews was a pain compared to the school desks. When we could leave the church, the teacher said it was like getting out of jail. She did take notice of the Ten Commandments and read them to the class.

That's a bit of a stretch. What I think he is saying though is that he won't care who votes in 4 years. Only that he gets your vote now. Because he doesn't care what happens to the next round of political candidates-he only cares that you vote for him.
