Squawking 'No collusion! No collusion!" many times daily is the mark of a political parrot making noise without knowing or understanding what is said.
Either that, or the parrot is using the Big Lie technique made infamous by a dictatorial regime 80 years ago on the premise that if you say something loud enough, long enough and to enough people, some will begin to believe it.
Meanwhile, sending troops to the southern border under the guise of "protecting" the nation from an "invasion" of refugees seeking jobs and opportunity as they try to escape poverty contradicts the American tradition of welcoming the tired and the poor to the Golden Door of opportunity.
Instead, militarizing a peaceful border to keep out those deemed "undesirable" solely on the basis of their ethnicity is an invitation to war with a neighboring ally.
Another example of racial bias, even to fellow citizens of the U.S., is the refusal to send help to the battered island of Puerto Rico, an American commonwealth for more than 100 years. The island was struck again this week as another incident of nature put many thousands of citizens without the benefit of electricity.
