It's Thursday, December 18th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is what a day.

The show noting that President Donald Trump spent more time in the last week making new

insulting plaques for the photographs of his predecessors than he has on trying to ensure

millions of Americans can afford their health care coverage.

On today's show, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr fails at basic communication during a Senate oversight meeting.

And one of the two right-wing podcasters running the FBI is leaving. Hint, his name rhymes with fan of Reno.

But let's start with immigration. Well, sort of. The Trump administration has

purportedly been laser focused on the problem of illegal immigration. But time and time again,

it's been pretty clear to me that President Trump and the federal government are more focused on

immigrants of any kind from non-white countries.

For one thing, the administration has increased the number of countries included in its total and partial travel ban, adding places like Laos, Sierra Leone, and Tonga, for reasons I'm sure are

very normal and good. For another thing, there's the president's obsessive and repulsive comments

about Somali immigrants following

recent investigations into social services fraud in Minnesota. Many of those arrested were of

Somali origin or background. But I'm guessing that the same president who pardoned a CEO convicted

for fraud doesn't really care about, you know, fraud. He does, however, care about being racist, especially, it seems, towards Minnesota Democratic

Representative Ilhan Omar.

Here's CBS News's Nancy Cordes summarizing Trump's remarks about the Congresswoman in Pennsylvania

last week during a speech that was supposed to be about affordability.

But President Trump's speech in the Poconos is getting more attention for the grievances

he aired about Democrat Ilhan Omar.

She comes in, there's nothing but bitch.
