RFK's visit to Appalachia, 50 years later: How Kennedy country became Trump country. On Feb. 13, 1968, Bobby Kennedy was a month from declaring for president and four months from an assassin's bullet. For two days in eastern Kentucky, he met people who were as poor and isolated as he was rich and famous. Somehow, they clicked. Now 50 years later, what was Kennedy country is Trump country. Children of Kennedy Democrats are Trump Republicans. And for those inspired by RFK in 1968, what should be a happy anniversary is instead an occasion to puzzle a drastic reversal of political fortune. Ref. USAToday.

Among Trump's first 87 judicial nominees, 80 are white. President Trump's search for deeply conservative federal judges appears to have eliminated most African Americans and Hispanics from the running. Among Trump's first 87 judicial nominees, only one is African American and one is Hispanic. Five are Asian Americans. Eighty are white. The demographics signal a return to the 1980s, when 94% of President Ronald Reagan's confirmed judges were white. Since then, minority enrollment in law schools has nearly tripled. Ref. USAToday.

While a judicial nominee is NOT an appointment, it is a poor indicator of racial divisions and possibly racist tendencies. Curious about the stated statistics, I looked up ABA statistics to see if the numbers from an official source corresponded to the numbers the media stated. They didn't. They claimed minority enrollment in law schools has tripled, which is absolutely incorrect, unless you actually go back to 1960. The numbers actually show very little trend.
ABA enthic breakdown
The percentage of ethnic population since 1960 has doubled, but the ratio of ethnic minorities applying to become lawyers has remained almost the same. This could be a function of educational bias or early schools being limited in funding for ethnic minorities, or it could be a trend showing general bias of an ethnicity towards certain work categories. I'm not qualified to say.

Those numbers and what they (News report) are eluding too is just trying to make a story where there isn't one.

Trump can't stay away from criticizing everyone but has anyone noticed that of all the people he is willing to attack he never has a bad word ever to say about Putin? Why is that?

Trump’s upcoming California trip puts him in the company of FDR: Presidents who waited a long time to visit the nation's most populous state. President Trump will finally visit California next week, ending what had become the longest that any modern president had gone without visiting the nation's most populous state. But California shouldn't take it as a snub: Trump is the least-traveled president since Ronald Reagan, according to a USA TODAY analysis. If there's a pattern to Trump's travel 14 months into his presidency, it's that he seems to favor battleground states — especially those in the Rust Belt — where he can fly in and out in one day.

Who will be next to go? High-level firing and continued rumors of staff shakeups fuel another turbulent week in the White House. On Tuesday, President Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Twitter, setting off a week of turmoil. Trump’s personal assistant, John McEntee, also left the White House under mysterious circumstances, and rumors flowed all week long about which administration officials might leave under fire, including Chief of Staff John Kelly, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, Housing Secretary Ben Carson and Veterans Secretary David Shulkin. By Friday, reports of imminent firings reached such a fever pitch that the White House began to take steps to bat them down. Ref. USAToday.
