After a long absence during the Dolt45 Years.
Sir Elton John performed at the White House last week.
On his final tour, Jill and I invited Sir Elton John to the People's House.
I proudly presented @eltonofficial with the National Humanities Medal for a legacy of challenging convention, shuttering stigma, and advancing the truth that all of us deserve to be treated with dignity. pic.twitter.com/vFAkrW6lWS

The amount of revisionism going on is beyond staggering.. ‘history’ is being gaslit and rewritten right before our eyes.. with far too many actively complicit, playing right along, and exploiting it all entirely for their own aggrandizement.. to posterity’s great shame and immense short-changing..
Elton John is the same guy who as Hillary’s celebrity surrogate, for years, would not stop denigrating America’s historic first black Couple..
Elton John is also the same guy who continued to proudly pall around with, attended and played a concert for Rush Limbaugh at his 4th wedding.. at the very same time ..and even as Rush Limbaugh for years, continued to relentlessly attack, denigrate, lie and incite hate and unprecedented death threats on America’s historic first black Family..
LOL.. can’t make this stuff up..

Both America and Europe are part of a larger historical paradigm, one approached from two different sides, that social welfare policies are popular in supermajority-white democracies so long as whites don’t have to share its benefits with non-white minorities.

FDR’s New Deal arose in a multiracial society, and was passed into law provided that Black people were excluded.
West European societies passed generous social welfare laws at a time when their racial demographics were supermajority-white.

America experienced a golden age of sorts, 1933-81, in which social welfare programs were expanded for white people and continued a decades-long program of wealth-building since 1862’s Homestead Act.
Europe’s social welfare prpgrams continued unabated until the 21st century.
