Bachmann claimed that Trump is taking a stand for God, and said that he is “unashamed in standing up for increasing an awareness of God” in the United States.
“He recognizes how important that is and that that is a basis of Western civilization,” she continued. “As a believer in Jesus Christ, I could not be more happy with what I am seeing coming out of the Trump White House. This is beyond my wildest expectations.”

Ketty Lester, Love Letters
Ketty Lester, Love Letters
In 1961, Ketty released her first single, “I’m a Fool to Want You.” Radio listeners and disc jockeys and I preferred the B-side, a reworking of a 1945 hit by Dick Haymes, “Love Letters.” Lester’s cover which features Lincoln Mayorga’s spare, haunting piano arrangement and Earl Palmer on drums.

HIS 105 James Brown
In his 1986 autobiography James Brown: The Godfather of Soul, the singer recalled the tensions within the Civil Rights Movement of the time:
Martin was trying to keep things going in a nonviolent way, and Stokely and them were starting to talk about Black Power—and upsetting a whole lot of people with it, too … Black Power meant different things to different people, see. To some people it meant black pride and black people owning businesses and having a voice in politics. That’s what it meant to me … I wanted to see people free, but I didn’t see any reason for us to kill each other.
Don't Be A Dropout, live, 1966
Brown supported Nixon based on their shared enthusiasm for individualist policies and the notion that hard work, and hard work alone, would be the key to success for black Americans. In a statement made in the wake of Dr. King’s death, Brown expounded upon his “up by your bootstraps” philosophy:
You know, in Augusta, Georgia I used to shine shoes on the steps of a radio station… I think we started at three cents, then we went to five and six. Never did get to a dime. But today, I own that radio station. You know what that is? That’s Black Power… It’s in knowing what you’re talking about, being ready.
