My son, KAMEL, who is keeping his MASK on in ORAN, phones me daily about what is going on there. He is more aware of what is happening in America than many people residing here. “American news is constantly on TV,” he noted. “People here in Oran are very concerned about your president and how he relates to other countries. It seems that he has very little sensitivity to average working class people. Therefore, the American election for the presidency in November is very important to most of the world!” Kamel stressed again how important it is for everyone to wear a MASK when among the general public.
MSNBC is very fortunate to have Rev. Al Sharpton aboard because he is a perfect connecting force in relating to millions of black and white Americans when it comes to unity. He handles himself extremely well on camera, he has also a smooth satisfying delivery that Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post should take note of. Let’s face it, some people who are gifted writers or columnist for newspapers, but should never attempt to deliver any kind of message when facing the camera. Robinson is a fantastic columnist for the Post but is upsetting when attempting to comment on national and international stories on camera. That is the bottom line, folks!
