Unique Times.

We live in new times. The stock market has decreased massively today. Also, the debt ceiling deal is in the balance. Reasonable people want the economic deal to come through, so federal workers won't be lacking a paycheck. We know of people who work paycheck to paycheck. Some folks ignorantly mock the working class and the poor too. Many of us are blessed with insurance and other benefits while other folks in the world don't have these items of support. Trump is threatening to have a shutdown if investments for his illogical border wall doesn't exist. He is a liar since we don't have massive undocumented workers coming into America from Mexico. Immigrants pays taxes into America. Immigrants have contributed heavily to America for centuries. The authorities in America have been caught jailing infants and splitting them from their families which is cruel and disgraceful. Also, we don't have open borders in America. We have security systems. A border wall makes no sense since the border is made up of valleys, rivers, and mountains making a border wall impossible to construct throughout the U.S.-Mexican border. Even most undocumented immigrants aren't rapists, murderers, and disease carriers. They are suffering and are struggling for survival literally. The reality is that wealthy corporate interests benefit from the tax cuts for the rich and from the massive status quo that we are witnessing today. Corporate money dominate the establishment leaders of both major parties for generations.

Last month's midterm elections set a record for campaign spending in a non-presidential year—$5.2 billion—a 35 percent increase over 2014 and triple the amount spent 20 years ago, in 1998. The bulk of this flood of cash came from corporations (where shareholders benefit while economic inequality grows) and multi-millionaire donors. We have massive anti-democratic voting laws in numerous states where voting is limited, IDs used to vote are limited, and other problems exists (suppressing the rights of black people, college students, the elderly, other people of color, women, the poor, the disabled, etc.). We are dedicated to oppose the agenda of far right Republicans, so a progressive America can flourish. Also, we witness bourgeois democracy not real democracy. Therefore, we desire the working class (including the poor & the homeless) to be empowered to reach their own destinies as human beings. Therefore, we have to fight for total universal health care, infrastructure investments, and making sure that consumers including communities have the adequate resources plus respect that they deserve.

Like people have known, we have an intense crisis in the White House. We have a possible shutdown from Washington. The stock market is down. Also, we see that Mattis has resigned over policy disagreements with Trump on foreign policy. Also, reports are coming out that Mueller will release his final report on the Russian election scandal and about the issue of collusion at mid-February 2019. Trump wasn't elected by the majority of the American people. He was elected by the Electoral College, which is an antique, obsolete system. Trump saying that the Mexican government would pay for the border wall is fantasy. We have a crisis of the three branches of government. Five billion dollars for a wall can be better spent on health care, infrastructure, education, and other components of our society. We know that Trump expresses deception and he is a xenophobe. There is no evidence that terrorists are flooding the U.S./Mexican border. He even wants restrictions on legal immigration (i.e. Trump wants to eliminate the lottery system and he wants to do other policies that limit legal immigration). The Freedom Caucus should be ashamed of itself.

So, his agenda has nothing to do with solving problems. It has to do to promote his racist, sexist, and xenophobic base who doesn't care for human rights or social justice. I have the free speech right to type this words. That is what the First Amendment is all about. The indictment and conviction of former Trump administration officials outlines blatant corruption found in that regime. While this is going on, millions of federal workers could lose their incomes for weeks or months. Human life is more important than a wall. Right now, the House and the Senate are debating on the method to solve this political crisis.


As we close into the end of 2018, we see massive developments. We saw investigations, the passing away of legends, and a closing Russian investigation. Turmoil consumes the disgraceful White House. This year saw bigots and extremists winning elections in Brazil and other places. Also, we saw heroism. This year witnessed many activists protesting gun idol worship in the streets of America. This year saw teachers and students protesting for better schools for children. We witnessed labor protests and a historic Blue wave in the House of Representatives. A record amount of women and other human beings were elected into Congress. So, the fight for change isn't over. We must continue to speak our minds here in this world. Trump's behavior is not unusual. Centuries ago, my people were in chains in America. Presidents back then supported the evil 3/5s compromise and the nefarious Fugitive Slave Act. They were stone cold racists like Trump. The difference is that some want to glamorize then back then. So, we have to realize that our goal in life isn't just about ourselves. It is about helping our communities and promoting integrity. There is no justice without accountability, integrity, and truth. Also, you have noticed that I didn't mention anything about the Bush legacy until he was buried in his resting place. The reason that I did that was that I waited for his family to mourn. After that, I showed the truth about George H. W. Bush's legacy of opposing the Civil Rights Act, supporting the Mujaheddin, promoting the Willie Horton ad, and supporting Saddam Hussein with weapons (until the Persian Gulf War. I do know some of things that I do agree with Bush Sr. on like the Americans with Disabilities Act, etc.). Bush Sr. wasn't some progressive or moderate hero as some in CNN and even some in MSNBC claim that he was. He was a total, calculating pro-establishment person who was a member of the macabre Skulls and Bones secret society. Therefore, discernment is important too.
