The Beginning of the end of the 2020 Democratic Primary.





The coronavirus is very serious. The WHO recently called the virus a global pandemic. More than 1,000 people in America have been infected with the illness. The containment zone is found in New Rochelle, New York or a suburb of NYC. There are about 30 people in America who have died. Over 1,000 schools have been closed. Italy is in total quarantine. Trump's response have been contradicting. Many places and events have been closed or delayed. Apple employees have been encouraged to stay home. Also, Harvard moved people out of the dorms to take online classes The New York Times made a deep cleaning of newsrooms in New York and Washington, D.C. There is a question about the amount of testing. The stock market has rapidly declined. The economy could face a recession. There should be no red tape. Testing for COVID-19 should be free. Almost 120,000 people have been infected globally. Over 10,000 people in Italy have it with over 600 deaths in Italy. This is a real deal. Doctors nationwide said that they don't have enough tests to test people. The test is a nose swap.

As for the March 10th, 2020 victories for Joe Biden, Biden won these victories in the Michigan, Missouri, and Mississippi primaries. The corporate media has supported their guy Biden for months. There were other primaries in Idaho and North Dakota including Washington state. There are no projections so far in those states. Biden said in a Philadelphia rally many items of finalizing his efforts to win the primary. Biden spoke to the Sanders campaign in wanting to end the Democratic primary. He praised Sanders' supporters and wanted them to unite with him in a Democratic party effort to defeat Trump politically on November 2020. Those in the various networks gleefully cleared and couldn't contain their bias against Sanders.  Biden said that America's responsibility is to restore "world order." That is not America's responsibility. There is nowhere in the Constitution saying it. Our responsibility to is to defend human rights here and abroad (not to establish some world order). Biden is in favor of American hegemony or Pax Americana. Both Sanders and Biden cancelled large rallies in Ohio because of the coronvarius fears. This time represents a new era of the 2020 campaign. Bernie Sanders skipped the rallies yesterday. Clyburn is very wrong to call Biden a "honorary black man." I think that comment is offensive to black people worldwide. He ought to apologize for that nonsense. We shouldn't be surprised. Many folks stick together in unison to promote centrist, neoliberal nefarious views.

It is a shame that we live in a time where a network named MSNBC have many people smearing Sanders almost every day, and just worship their guy Joe Biden. Matthews got fired. We know who the corporate media is rooting for. Harris and Booker have been in a rally supporting their guy. Biden is a guy that curses people out and does questionable acts to girls and women that Youtube even records. Pundits on that network excuse Biden cursing out an autoworker (even though Biden doesn't want to take everyone's guns. Biden ought to be refute that worker in a better way), but screams at Sanders for rightfully exposing the Democratic establishment (which is a real group. Then, these pundits lie and accuse Sanders of trying to equate black voters to the establishment. That isn't the case). I predicted that if Sanders (who is the more progressive and better candidate than Biden) doesn't use stats, stories, and shows more courageousness on issues of racial justice, then this will happen. Sanders' errors can't be omitted, but his contributions should be mentioned. It is sad to see a gentleman like Sanders being slandered as some cold hearted man.

Certain factions of the media never respected him in 2016 and they hate him in 2020. That is why Bloomberg was in the race. Yet, that is the world we live in. I will bring receipts now. Joe Biden is the same person that supported NAFTA, wrote the Crime Bill of 1994, supported the Iraq War, mistreated Anita Hill, had an alliance with segregationist James Eastland, and people debate whether he wanted to cut Social Security. If it is Biden vs. Trump, then that is a bad choice between 2 controversial candidates. I will keep my promise to not vote third party, because the fate of the country is more important than my personal feelings on centrism. If it is a case between Biden vs. Trump, then I have no choice but to vote for Biden (even if I will begrudgingly do it, because I love future generations. I don't want people in the future to lose their rights). Centrism is a threat to our democracy just like the neo-fascism of Donald Trump. Some people love their master's house unconditionally. These hypocrites lecture us on electability, but they refuse to acknowledge that moderate solutions won't solve large homelessness, the coronavirus pandemic, or police terrorism in our streets. Hopefully, a miracle can happen with Bernie Sanders.

Yesterday was the Birthday of Sister Jasmine Guy. She is now 58 years old. She has been an actress, musician, and model plus dancer for over 30 years old. She was born in Boston and was raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She was in North Atlanta High School. Her mother was a high school teacher and her father was a reverend. At the age of 17 years old, she moved to NYC to study dance at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center. People in the dance world know that the late legend Alvin Ailey was a genius dancer. She was in the show FAME with fellow dancer Debbie Allen. Later, she was in the famous sitcom of A Different World from 1987 to 1993. A Different World is one of my favorite shows. She played the character of Whitley Gilbert based on the voice of her teacher. She directed one episode and co-written 3 episodes on the show. She won 6 straight NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She was in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in one episode. She was in Queen, Stomin' at the Savoy in 1992, and other shows. She worked in Living Single. Later, she was on the show Dead like Me. Always involved in conscious issues, she has expressed plays and worked in performances dealing with class, race, sex, and other progressive subjects. She has released musical songs and performed magnificently at the theater. She has one daughter that she loves. I wish Sister Jasmine Guy more blessings.
