On the presence, and likely not the passing of Bill O'Reilly....
Big Lie Goliath⌠Prelude:
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
OâReilly
Clinton
Cosbyâ
nothing in commonâ
Save wealth, power, fame;
and four-letter wordsânot âof
Rights,â dogging their nameâŚ
I.
OâWarhead, head-fixer,
flamethrower, fluent
in Forked-Tongue;
OâMaster of misinformation,
disinformation, half-truths,
Big liesâ
OâGoebbels godson:
Drum Major for war
How many missiles
did you bless with venom?
How many bombs did
you slather in bile?
How many babies
did your spleen father
as âCollateral Damage?â
How many pages
does your crimson-
stained resumĂŠ run?
II.
OâFOX-box bully, high-
salaried henchmanâ
Women you terrorized
Spat at your sneering visage
Vanishing
from 52â screensâ
Persons without pulses
screamed, stadium-loud:
âShut-up!â

In this series, we ask acclaimed authors to answer five questions about their book.
The first year of the Biden presidency proceeds as one would expect from a man who always represented the most retrograde wing of the democratic party.
Black Alliance for Peace reminds us that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the product of a mass movement and at the time of his assassination was following the Black radical tradition.
Joe Biden and other politicians may evoke Dr. King's legacy but their actions are an affront.
Imperialism is the order of the day for Biden and Harris. There is no harm reduction for the U.S. or for people around the world.
