Real Facts Shown.



The Democratic debate days ago was held in Tyler Perry studios in Atlanta, Georgia. It has all 4 interviewers being women which was historic. Also, it has 10 candidates debating each other. There were passionate discussions, agreements, and uniform condemnation of the policies of Trump. That is why these candidates are in the stage at the first place. Each candidate expressed their typical views. Warren and Sanders wanted corruption to end in Washington. Biden talked about marijuana and moderate positions. Buttegieg defended himself and he is beloved by the media, because if Biden doesn't win the nomination; some in the media want Pete Buttegieg to be his replacement. Amy Klobuchar promoted the centrist line that structural change isn't possible but she promotes bold policies. Her politics won't eliminate homelessness, health care disparities, police terrorism, or imperialism. She is the one who called Israel a beacon of democracy.

A Google search can prove that she is wrong on that issue. She is the one who said that Sanders and Warren wanted rich kids to go to college for free which is not right. So, she does represent the moderate wing of the Democratic Party. Kamala Harris debate Tulsi Gabbard and Buttegieg debated Tulsi too. Tulsi is an old school non-interventionist. She is right on many issues of foreign policy about how the neo-cons' extremism must be opposed. America should never be the policeman of the whole world. We can give foreign aid, we can negotiate, we can form alliances, etc. Yet, America shouldn't rule the world. She has said that she opposes unjust wars. She has visited the dictator Assad. I don't believe in the slur that she is a Russian asset, but Tulsi has to do a better job in defending herself. Tulsi should overtly call Assad a war criminal. Kamala had powerful moments especially in exposing the corruption of Trump. Andrew Yang was great in explaining automation and deindustrialization. Bernie Sanders made history by saying that the Palestinians are human beings too. That was a powerful moment in the debate. Cory Booker wanted the interests of black people represented by the Democratic Party. Biden made the mistake about ignoring Kamala Harris in the Senate. He corrected himself. Many issues weren't found in the debate like the right wing coup of Bolivia, gun violence, reparations, and other topics. The red baiting Steve Schmidt has some nerve to condemn socialism when he doesn't know its history or famous socialists like Fred Hampton, DuBois, Norman Thomas, and even Dr. King embraced democratic socialism. This is not unusual. Republicans and many moderate Democrats care more for imperialism, red baiting, and the status quo than liberation.

Fiona Hill and David Holmes gave testimonies to the House about the impeachment inquiry. Fiona Hill gave a powerful testimony. She denied that Ukraine was involved in U.S. election tampering. She made the point that Russia propaganda is very strong to try to make up theories about what happened. She was eloquent, and GOP lawmakers questioned Fiona Hill constantly. Yet, she kept her consistent views on the situation. After key witnesses have given their voices, the future is here. People want to know more information about Rudy Giuliani. Some people want to give this information to the Judiciary Committee. Congress will fully back in session soon. Schiff said that Trump believes that he is above the law. I believe him, because Trump has shown an arrogance in the midst of legal subpoenas. Giuliani acted on the orders of Trump and others to conduct a bribery and extortion scheme in trying to get dirt on the Bidens. There is no question that Trump is one of the most corrupt Presidents in 45 years. That's evident on how many in his cabinet are either indicted, quit, fired, or caught up in various scandals. That is because we see Trump pardoning actual, repugnant criminals and glorifying police misconduct in a speech. The facts matter. The quid pro quo is real, and that Trump administration must experience real accountability.


The judge Joe Brown's recently comments about Harriet Tubman is not only disrespectful, but it's a lie. First, he has some nerve to say that Harriet is not worthy to be on the 20 dollar bill. Second, Harriet Tubman on the 20 dollar bill has nothing to do with bashing black men. It is about acknowledging a hero who freed black men, black women, and black children. For this man to say that Harriet Tubman did nothing but free 200+ people is asinine. My response to him (I am a black man) is: Negro Please. Harriet Tubman did a lot of things. She was active to build up a program to help elderly people. She came out to led a battle in fighting the Confederate enemy. Harriet Tubman loved black men and raised a family. Harriet Tubman came out in favor of liberation, women's rights, and justice for all. That spirit of Harriet Tubman is antithetical to Brown's long history of problematic statements.

This is the same guy who claims to be all about manhood. Regularly, real men don't brag about being the super tough man. Real men just do it (as in doing the right thing without seeking some fanfare). Joe Brown years ago going on a drunken rant isn't an example of real manhood. Joe Brown needs to realize that black women fought in every American war, they have always been a strong backbone of the black community for thousands of years, and they were victims of lynchings too. This ignorant person actually said that the status of an ethnic group is determined by men not women. His misogynoir is disgusting like his other views. Then, he made the silly statement that feminists hate themselves because of chromosomes. Joe Brown is part of the Hotep crew (Brown admitted that he is a male chauvinist) who scapegoats single mothers, women, etc. instead of blaming the system of oppression for harming black people in general. He is truly a disgrace. Joe Brown's minimizing Harriet Tubman's sacrifice and courage is an affront to black people. He ought to be ashamed of himself. Forever, I will always show respect to our great ancestor Sister Harriet Tubman.
