The 2020 New Hampshire Primary.



Today, the New Hampshire primary is over. Bernie Sanders is the winner. The other persons in 2nd and 3rd place are Pete Buttegieg and Amy Klobuchar. Like usual, many in the corporate media love neoliberal status quo than liberation. Buttegieg is completely wrong that society doesn't need a revolution. The anti-slavery movement in America was a revolution to end tyranny. The Civil Rights Movement was the revolutionary movement that ended Jim Crow apartheid. With the crisis going on in America from climate change to racial injustice, nothing short of a revolution is key in creating a society that makes justice for all a reality. Sanders had 26 percent, Buttegieg had 24 percent, and Klobuchar had 20 percent. Sanders won many of the urban centers of New Hamsphire. Voter turnout was up compared to 2016. Sanders carried Manchester, Nashua, and Portsmouth including Concord. One thing that shocked me is that some in MSNBC want to praise Bloomberg, who is the same guy who supported stop and frisk to get minorities until he was forced to apologize. Bloomberg is the guy that the establishment desires if Biden and the other moderates fail to defeat Bernie Sanders. Also, Michael Bennett and Andrew Yang closed their campaigns now. Warren and Biden are no in a struggle. Nevada is next with its caucus on February 22. Klobuchar has increased her popularity after the New Hampshire debate. She is a moderate. The truth is that every successful movement in America wasn't a result of moderation. It was a product of revolutionary change from the New Deal to environmental standards.


 Trump is certainly an existential threat to our democracy. His budget proposal wants to to cut $30 billion from Social Security and $850 billion form Medicare. That is why we must vote this male out of office. He also wants to cut $270 billion from Medicaid. Also, it is important to realize that FOX News is Trump state TV with their overt bias. We have issues in America. Did you know that Amazon paid a 1.2% tax rate which is very small. Did you know that 44 percent of all American workers earn $18,000 per year? Did you know that 40 percent of Americans don't have 500 dollars for an emergency situation? Therefore, this economic situation in America is not infallible or perfect regardless of what Trump says. Not to mention that yes, I do believe in reparations for African Americans, I do believe in addressing redlining, and I do agree with addressing climate change. The criminal justice system has ruined the lives of people,and the racial wealth gap is real. Trump fired Gordon Sondland and Alexander Vindman because of personal revenge. Both men followed subpoenas, told the truth, and showed courage.

The corporate media even on so-called "liberal" (actually neo-liberal) networks have praised Bloomberg, because they want a centrist alternative. It is as simple that that. Some in MSNBC and CNN (not all people in those networks) make it their business to show more hatred of progressive populism & democratic socialism than the heinous bigotry of Trumpism. FOX News people present the falsehood that the other networks are far left. That isn't case, because large corporations fund those other networks. Many in those other networks have a hatred of not only Sanders and Warren. They reject the premise of revolutionary change being a necessity to build up the infrastructure of our society. For the record, I don't worship FOX, because they have a long track record of promoting racists and reactionary extremists like Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and once Bill O'Reilly (who was fired). FOX is not fair and balanced obviously.

Time after time again have shown us that structural change is necessary. For example, the U.S. Civil War didn't end by centrism or moderation. It ended by the unconditional defeat of racist Confederates. Civil disobedience, protests, boycotts, and other radical methods were used to cause the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts to be passed. Labor strikes and outright opposition to economic oppression made Social Security a reality. The same NY Times that slandered Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. back in 1967 because of his anti-Vietnam war stance is still trying to mention that defeating Trump means to water down your views. I disagree. To defeat Trump politically is to expand the base you do have and promote comprehensive, progressive solutions to real problems in our world. Freedom is not determined by polls, the hands of a clock, or sudden delay. Freedom ought to exist by birthright for all people.


The birthday of a great person had came about. She is Sister Kelly Rowland, and she is now 39 years old. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Later, she lived in Houston, Texas at the age of 8. At Houston, she met her lifelong friend Beyonce. She joined the group Girl's Tyme. Later, she was part of Destiny's Child with her best friend Beyonce. Destiny's Child existed by 1993. Their popularity exploited by 1997. Destiny's Child exploited to make women empowerment anthems. From Say My Name to Survivor, people remember their records. Afterwards, Kelly Rowland made her own solo musical career. She can act too. She was in the Seat Filler movie. She worked with Beyonce to found the Survivor Foundation to help victims of the Hurricane Katrina disaster with housing. She released Ms. Kelly and the when Love Takes Over song (which deals with pop music). Kelly Rowland is her own beautiful black woman. She is a business woman, and she worked with fitness expert Jeanette Jenkins in releasing exercise DVDs. She is married with Tim Weatherspoon, and they have one child. Kelly Rowland can do R&B, pop, dance, and other genres of music. Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson inspired her musically. Kelly Rowland has helped those with HIV/AIDS in Africa s well. Always an inspiration, she shows us that her beautiful voice is part of a humble, magnificent black woman. I wish Sister Kelly Rowland More Blessings.
