People Are Angrily Tweeting At Mike Pence Over His $250,000 NFL Game “Publicity Stunt”

'Apprentice' producer: Trump made 'despicable' racist comments about blacks and Jews

While tapes allegedly exist of the comments, 'Apprentice' creator Mark Burnett has stated that all the show's tapes are contractually confidential and he will not 'give them up'

On a recent episode of NPR’s podcast “Embedded,” Bill Pruitt, a former producer of Donald Trump’s long-running reality television show, “The Apprentice,” discussed Trump’s behavior, insisting Trump regularly made “unfathomably despicable” racist comments on the set. Pruitt has previously said that there are tapes from the filming of the show in which Trump is caught making racist comments. For the first time he elaborated on the specifics of those comments, saying they were “about African-Americans, Jewish people, all of the above.”

Other former producers and contestants on the show, which Trump hosted for 14 seasons, have echoed the claim. Chris Nee, another former producer, said she regularly heard Trump use the N-word, while Tom Arnold recounted hearing Trump make a slew of racist and derogatory comments, even insulting his own son. Producers, other staff and contestants on the show signed nondisclosure agreements which bar them from discussing what exactly happened on the set and the show’s creator, Mark Burnett, remains a loyal Trump confidant. He has stated multiple times that all the show’s tapes are contractually confidential and he will not “give them up.”

Hijab spotting

I was coming home on the bus this afternoon and saw a wedding party being photographed in the park. One of the bridesmaids was Muslim. She wore the same dark green gown as the other girls, with a matching hijab. Simple, elegant, I saw a happy expression on her face as I rode by. 

Justice and vengeance are not the same thing. And vengeance is not the answer. But stories of injustice must be told. So I hope the truth burns. I hope it sears into us. For a twisted version of the truth only dilutes the lessons we must remember. It weakens our humanity, our love, our core beings. So speak the truth. Scream the truth. And only the truth.

A hero in more ways than one

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Dir. Alfonso Cuarón   (via wordsnquotes)

Every year, a Jewish villager used to pray in the synagogue of the Baal Shem Tov for Yom Kippur. His son had a disability and couldn’t learn the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, much less the prayers and the blessings. When his son was old enough to fast, his father took him to synagogue, so he too could observe the Day of Atonement. The young man had a flute that he loved to play. He used to play it all the time when he sat in the fields, looking after his father’s sheep. He didn’t actually play any tunes, but he loved to blow his flute to make sounds. One day, without his father’s knowledge, he slipped his flute into his pocket to take to synagogue. The young man sat through the Yom Kippur service, all through the evening and then the next morning. He wasn’t able to recite the prayers, but he heard the prayers of the Baal Shem Tov and the rest of the community, and they stirred his heart. He felt a powerful urge to do something for God. He said to his father, “I brought my flute, and I want to blow it!” His father hushed him, afraid that his son would suddenly cause a disturbance in the middle of the prayers on this holy day. “Don’t you dare,” he said. So the young man restrained himself. During the prayers that afternoon, he begged his father again, “Please let me blow my flute!” His father became angry and warned him sternly against it. Once again, he restrained himself. But in the final moments of the final prayer, when the gates are just about to close on the holiest day of the Jewish year, the young man could no longer hold back. He pulled out his flute and blew a long, powerful note. The people in the congregation were startled. They cringed when they heard the discordant sound. They stared at the young man, casting disapproving looks at him and frowning at his father. But the Baal Shem Tov continued praying, undisturbed. When he concluded his prayers, his disciples asked him about the boy and the flute. The Baal Shem Tov said, “That boy’s flute raised all our prayers to heaven. The holy spark in his soul was burning within him like a fire. With all the power of his longing, he blew his flute from the depths of his heart, without any other motive but for God alone.” For Jewish tradition teaches, “Above all else, God desires the heart.”

When you have your picture taken with Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, does the guy inside the costume smile for the camera?

If Cinderella’s glass shoe fit so perfectly, that it couldn’t fit on to any other woman in the land, how did it fall off in the first place?

Saying that banning guns would cause people to use knives and trucks is like saying we shouldn’t cure cancer because some of the survivors would die from heart disease or car accidents.

We have no right to judge. How or when a person grows with all the internal and external struggles, is up to them and their spiritual growth. It’s not about us. It’s not up to us.
