In a morning tweet, Trump praised his chief of staff, John F. Kelly, for firing Manigault Newman last year. The former reality television star was the highest-ranking Black em- ployee in the White House. “When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out,” Trump said. “Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!” Trump’s tweet came shortly after Manigault Newman appeared on CBS This Morning and released a new recording purportedly of a discussion in October 2016 among campaign aides about how to handle a tape on which Trump is said to have used the n-word. In tweets Monday night,

Omarosa Manigault Newman Trump denied ever using “such a terrible and disgust- ing word,” and his aides have denied having strategized about how to contain the damage if such a tape sur- faced. Manigault Newman has said she heard the tape of Trump using the term, which she said dates from his years hosting the NBC reality show “The Apprentice.” Trump has come under fire previously for using deroga- tory terms to refer to women and Black people. At a debate during the Re- publican presidential primary season, he was famously asked by moderator Megyn Kelly about his tendency to call women he doesn’t like “fat pigs, dogs, slobs and dis- gusting animals.” More recently, Trump has repeatedly referred to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) as “low IQ” and called CNN an- chor Don Lemon “the dumb- est man on television.” In her book, “Un- hinged,” Manigault Newman claims the Trump campaign was aware of the existence of the tape from the “Appren- tice” period. She describes a phone conversation about how to handle potential fall- out with Lynne Patton, then an assistant to Eric Trump, a son of the president; then- Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson; and campaign com- munications director Jason Miller. The recording played on CBS on Tuesday morning purportedly includes the voices of Patton and Pierson. CBS said it had not confirmed the authenticity of the tape. On the tape, a person whom Manigault Newman identifies as Pierson is heard saying: “I’m trying to find out at least the context it was used in to help us figure out a way to spin it.” A person Manigault New- man says is Patton then describes having a conversation with Trump about the alleged tape: “I said, ‘Well, sir, can you think of anytime this might have happened?’ and he said, ‘No.’” The Miami Times 6 MIAMITIMESONLINE.COM | AUGUST 15-21, 2018

The Black Economic Alli- ance, which was formed by Black business leaders, prom- ised to invest what was necessary to help Jealous, a former NAACP president, beat popular Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. The group also endorsed two other Democratic candidates for governor — Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Rich- ard Cordray in Ohio — as well as Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who is seeking another term and running well ahead of his Republican opponent, Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chair Corey A. Stewart. All four Democrats have high profiles nationally and are in heated races in states where the Black population is near or above the U.S. national average. The alliance said it raised $3.5 million from 55 donors over the past two months and plans to invest in “competitive contests” that emphasize improved economic condi- tions for Black voters and where Black turnout is crucial to victory. “We’re supporting candidates where the Black vote can be decisive and where every dollar counts,” said Akun- na Cook, executive director of the Black Economic Alliance. Cook declined to specify how much the group would spend on Jealous, who has vastly less to spend than Hogan. But she said the alliance is “evaluating on a case-by-case basis what it takes for our candidates to win.” In an interview, Tony Coles, the organization’s co-chairman, described the group’s formation as the first time the Black business community has come together in a con- certed political effort focused on economic progress for Black Americans. Previously, the executives’ fundraising efforts tended to be more ad hoc, with leaders writing in- dividual checks. That began to change after a meeting last summer, Coles said. “As we moved into 2017, we recognized that the stakes were very high in terms of the economic opportunities for all Americans,” Coles said. “We began asking, ‘What can we do?’ And we realized in that discussion that there was great power in the collective.” The group’s board includes alumni of the Obama and Clinton campaigns as well as executives from the tech, finance, media and pharma- ceutical industries. Coles is chairman and chief executive of the biotech firm Yumanity Therapeutics. Even though the four candidates endorsed Monday are all Democrats, the group says it is not aligned with either political party and instead is focused on policies aimed at raising Black employment levels, homeownership and income. “I think there’s broad rec- ognition that the work that we’re focused on is very much different than the traditional party organizations,” Cook said. “I think it’s a feeling that neither party is particularly focused on the needs of the Black community where economic progress is concerned.” The group plans to make 10 to 12 endorsements in congressional races after Labor Day.

August is the second most-popular month for summer vacations, behind July. There’s still time to plan a trip in August, or even a staycation if time or resources are limited this year. Our suggestions include a few cooler spots for those who long to escape the summer heat as well as warm weather destinations with beaches, pools, and plenty of sunshine. A little education along with pleasure never hurt anyone, and learning is fun in a museum focused on comedy, science, or food.

The violent crime rate in 2016 for Miami Gardens is 50 times higher than the state average, which is the polar opposite of the neighboring cities, according to Cityrating.com.

The first thing they did to get results was to recruit students on their own. “We made calls to individuals who have children who were going from the fifth to sixth grade convincing them to come to our school,” said Negron. The list was easily obtained from Barbara Hawkins Elementary next door. Then administrators tackled the culture of the school. They retrained teachers. The training changed the educators’ approach to appeal- ing to students, said four-year Carol City Middle language arts teacher Bridgette Mills. “I learned how to deliver my lessons effectively. Through the process, I have learned that I am flexible,” she said. “Even though I am a certified teacher, I still have a lot to learn myself.” The teachers also had coaches assigned to them that will follow up and do walk- throughs to monitor their progress. In addition to the teachers getting lessons of their own, the school also formed community partnerships that lend financial, academic and social support to the students. The school receives school supplies from Office Depot; obtained a renovation grant from Walmart; secures 10 cents per gallon pumped by a nearby Raceway; receives free coffee for staff from a nearby Starbucks; and gets mentoring help from Antioch Mission- ary Baptist Church. St. Thomas University creates tutorials for students and helps with beautifica- tion projections and report cards reviews. Florida International University offers high school and college credit courses.
