I did not see or watch the globally renowned CBS-News’ current affairs television magazine program titled “60 Minutes” - I, however, do watch it from time to time when the imminent broadcast of a very significant program feature or event has been advertised by this putatively ideologically conservative radio and television network well ahead of time. However, as of this writing, Yours Truly has right here before him a bulletin news report captioned “Ghana Government Accused of Crimes on Famous US Program 60 Minutes” (Ghanaweb.com 10/26/26).

Of course, in the Ghanaian version of the Officially Received Standard English (ORSE) - to be strictly distinguished from the other Non-Standard American English word of “ARSE” (our profound apologies to President Donald John Trump of Florida’s sprawling Mar-a-Largo Estate) - the word “program” is quaintly albeit more felicitously spelled out as “programme.” This tangential or glancing otherwise relatively insignificant variation of the word “program” or “programme” immediately reminds Yours Truly of the legendary BBC Radio and Television Broadcaster and Journalist Sir Alfred Alistair Cooke (1908-2004), most especially the latter’s epistolary staple titled “Letter from America” of which Yours Truly and his late beloved father and inspirational mentor and role model, in many respects, were avid listeners for at least a couple of decades.

Otherwise the story and the event that brings this author here is clearly and absolutely of no significance or moment worthy of the telling and the devotion of so much space and time at all, if the Dear Ready really and truly appreciates the precise angle or direction from whence I come. Which mundanely has to do with the fact of whether the most personally and politically despised and putatively thoroughgoing corrupt and grossly incompetent American Politician and President in the 21st Century, at least thus far, has any human and constitutional right to summarily deport undocumented immigrants from the United States of America to any other part of the world, especially the African Continent whose inhabitants and descendants unarguably constitute the most significant seminal contributors to Contemporary American Civilization, both the so-called United States of America and, to be certain, the Two American Continents at large.

More so, after a two-and-half-generation born American citizen of Half-Bavarian (German) and Half-Scottish descent has disdainfully and contemptuously labeled the globally acclaimed Primeval Continent and the putative Matrix and Cradle of Humanity as a Veritable Assemblage of “Shithole Countries” and, in our present context and for our present purposes and of all Continental African Postcolonial Countries, the Sovereign Democratic Republic of Ghana.

There is, of course, a surefire logic to this thoroughgoing foreign policy madness of the Make America Great Again (MAGA), Right-Wing Fascist President Donald John Trump-led Republican Party Government of the United States of America, bizarrely but not altogether unexpected Adolf Hitler-lookalike, Russian-descended Ashkhenazi (as in Neo-Nazi) Jewish Trumpian Surrogate and MAGA-Gas Chamber Captain by the Queer Name of Stephen N. Miller, a 41-year-old Skinhead. We hear the latter’s middle initial of “N” actually means “Netanyahu,” as in the name of the International Criminal Court (ICC)-indicted Mr. Benjamin “Mileikowsky” Netanyahu who, as of this writing, has at least been democratically and temporarily deposed as the longest-reigning Ichabod Prime Minister of the Euro-Zionist State of Israel.

It was this Beth Shir Shalom, Santa Monica, California, Hebrew School-educated buffoon, we are reliably informed, who wickedly designed the morally bestial MAGA Immigration Policy Agenda declaring the entirety of the Continental African Landmass, the Caribbean and Latin America, among other Non-Aryan regions of the globe as a Veritable Cesspool for the Congressionally Vanquished sometime Stephen “Steve” Bannon-skippered Trumpian political machine.

Yet another apocryphal version or narrative of the Stephen “Skinhead” Miller Story allegedly claims that the latter Trump goon’s middle initial letter of “N” actually means “Nuremberg,” which probably points to the final and the official destination of this latter-day author or editor of the New Protocol of the Elders of Zion. A Trumpian Hatchet Man and Chief Replacement Theory Executioner. Which also quaintly reminds Yours Truly of once being assured, during his undergraduate years at the City College of the City University of New York, that it was, somehow, inexcusably oxymoronic for anybody with a full-set of healthy noggins over his shoulders or a credible sense and presence of mind to either suspect or suppose that any Jewish-descended rabidly racist City College Professor of White-Supremacist Philosophy such as Dr. Michael Levin could be credibly accused of being a Neo-Nazi. Now, we all know that my New York Times editor and Harvard University-educated City College scholar of Shakespeare, Dr. Phillip Miller, was simply and knavishly lying through his teeth.

At any rate, in the flagrantly peevish story sourced to CBS’ “60 Minutes” newsmagazine program, the Ghana Government was reportedly accused of breaking international law by a Chinese-looking woman attorney by the name of Ms. Meredith Yoon, by unconscionably deporting US-deported criminally convicted illegal immigrants and/or migrants of Non-Ghanaian nationality or origin back to their countries of origin, where such deportees and/or refugees and asylees faced certain persecution, including possible death by execution, in the very countries whose hostile political climates and environments had, in the first place, forced them to flee to the United States of America, the globally much ballyhooed land and beacon of freedom and complete liberty.

Now, what makes this Trump-originated immigration policy decidedly inane and insane on both sides of the equation, as it were, inheres in the weird idea that, somehow, paying the leaders of these politically and “diplomatically” classified “Shithole Countries” some bagatelle or diddly token sums of “tide over” moneys for these “legally deported aliens” would, somehow, solve a multifaceted problem or problems. The Ghanaians evidently have a far more intelligent, morally constructive and existentially instructive answer for the MAGA nincompoops self-entitled kleptocrats. And it is tersely that: “What Is Good for the Gander Is Equally Good for the Goose.”
