Marcy Wheeler takes a peek behind the ICE masks. Maybe there is another reason why Trump cult followers want to keep the masks on – 7 minutes:
What a year last week was. But i think we are starting to see the Trump administration getting more and more desperate. I believe soon, the message that those acting illegally in Trump’s name (say Pam Bondi for instance) will someday have to defend their illegal actions in court. If we are the real democracy we say we are, that day may be coming soon.
Monday is President’s Day. Ironic that we should have the worst, most corrupt, racist and felonious ever sitting in the chair at this time. Take some time to ponder what an absolutely insane person is now president and how he got there. But it is also Black History Month so we will focus some questions on Black contributions to American society.
It will be hard to hold the questions from last week to a manageable amount. Remember the FIWH is the Felon In the White House. Shall we begin?
A) Let’s kick off here in Iowa where the legislature is considering a proposal to prepare an offer to bring what pro sports team to Iowa?
B) Perhaps the most famous black American inventor, what inventor still has a building named after him at Iowa State where he was the first black student and faculty member?
C) “How can you talk about pedophiles when the Dow is at $50,000?” is a paraphrase of an answer from what administration official in a House committee hearing last week?
D) In yet another ironic moment last week the FIWH’s Religious Liberty Commission was sued on what grounds last week?
E) Dorothy Johnson Vaughn is a scientist whose name many may recognize from a movie chronicling her career as a what for NASA?
F) Once again the Iowa senate shows its ignorance as it passes only a 1.75% funding increase for what critical function of government?
G) What?? Did the FIWH claim China would end in Canada because of the new accords between China and Canada?
H) This is not Pam Bondi’s first go round at keeping information on Jeffrey Epstein hidden. She also did so at the state level as attorney general of what state?
I) Mae C. Jemison is a name many will recognize immediately for her exploits as a what?
J) The FIWH did a big favor for what big donor Monday when he stepped in Monday and said he would personally block the Gordy Howe bridge between the US and Canada from opening?
K) Also on the blocking front, the FIWH said the EPA would revoke what rules that underpinned environmental rules?
L) Mark Dean made a major contribution to modern technology at IBM when he developed the system that allowed computers to communicate with what?
M) It’s down. it’s up. It’s — still up I think. A rainbow flag was removed early this week the replaced later in the week at what national monument?
N) Breezy Johnson won America’s first gold at the Winter Olympics last week. Then what happened to the medal she won?
O) Lots of tense confusion at what major airport this week as communication snafus led to the airport to be closed for 10 days, then reopened a couple of hours later?
P) Dr. Charles Richard Drew is a name you have probably heard, especially if you give blood. Dr. Drew invented what?
Q) As many economic indicators show a US economy going into the tank, what indicator revealed last week showed an unusual large jump ahead?
R) In a move that seems out of step for this administration, Dr. Mehmet Oz urged Americans to get vaccinated for what current spreading disease?
S) What auto company reported a loss of $11.1 B in the fourth quarter of 2025, it’s worst performance since the Great Republican Recession?
T) But will they do it? Claiming victory, what administration official announced that ICE thugs would be removed from Minnesota?
