Friday News in Early October 2020.

  

The 2020 Presidential debate seems to be much more calm than the previous debate. Mike Pence is being more slick to omit critical information about Trump's record. Kamala Harris is using a compare and contrast strategy to expose the errors of Trump. Pence said that there is a growth of manufacturing jobs when they are declining under Trump. Millions of jobs were lost in 2020 after the start of the pandemic. So, Pence is a more articulate liar than Trump. Pence omitted than Trump's tax cuts benefit large corporations like Pfizer, GE, Chevron, etc. Trump's tax cuts should be repealed. Pence omitted that Trump eliminated legitimate environmental regulations involving methane. Pence omits that there is nothing immoral of raising taxes on the super wealthy. Pence refused to say that climate change is a real threat to Americans. We have wildfires, lead harming Americans, environmental racism, etc. in our land. That reality deserves real change. We have 40 million American are on the brink of eviction. 12 million people have lost health care. There are 12.6 million people unemployed, and Pence believes that the free market alone could solve these problems. He's wrong. History teaches that intervention from public resources have helped human beings justly. Kamala Harris gave her best performance about Breonna Taylor. Pence is just wrong on criminal justice issues. Pence is the person who denies that systematic racism exists in the world when sociological studies document racism being systematic in the world. Exposing systematic racism is not an insult. It's a reality. Kamala Harris wanted to have policing reform. Kamala Harris came back strong on the issue of race, policing, and Trump's controversies.This debate was much shorter than the first debate. Pence believes in contradictions. He claims to want to have less divisiveness, but he works for a person who divided Americans on a high level with his words and actions. Pence acts like Trump is a normal guy not a bizarre person. Trump has praised dictators, he has allowed the split of families at the border, and he has disparaged peaceful NFL players in vulgar terms. For Pence to cover up Trump's wickedness is truly a shame. Pence's refusal to support a peaceful transition of power if Trump loses the election is truly telling. Pence omitted that Trump defended racist Confederate monuments and statues. Anyone defending Confederate statues is not a moral person. Kamala Harris wants people to vote. Pence refuses to allow Kamala to finish sentences at times. 

When you have many prominent White House officials having the virus in a massive level, then you know that Pence (who ignores that much of he arrested people arrested for violence are white racists and agent provocateurs. About 93 % of the protests this year are peaceful) is wrong to assume that the Trump administration is doing an excellent job in fighting back against the pandemic diligently. We have more than 210,000 Americans who died as a result of the pandemic, and Trump refusing to promote a progressive, comprehensive stimulus bill to help suffering Americans. Pence want judges to eliminate the ACA without a plan, because Trump has no plan but the status quo before the ACA existed. People's pre existing conditions and other benefits are on the ballot here. The Trump team wants the Supreme Court to eliminate the ACA. Pence also ignored the fact that peaceful protests dominate the social movement for justice. Kamala Harris is not required to answer Pence's questions. She is only required to answer Page's questions.

Nancy Pelosi said that she will talk about the 25th Amendment now. This means that she wants to may create a plan about how Trump is unfit for office. Pelosi and Democrats are to introduce legislation related to the 25th Amendment. The end of this election is coming. The Senate could turn to the Democrats. People know what is about to happened. Therefore, the end of the Trump Presidency will come, and people will rejoice. Now, some Republicans are starting to distant themselves from Trump. This is a development that is historic. We are living unprecedented times in our lives. Trump wants to hold a rally which still having the virus in his system. Trump's plan is totally extremist, because he would potentially put more lives at risk by going through such a thing. Authorities caught far right extremists, with links to a militia group, in forming a plot to kidnap the Governor of Michigan (in order to start a civil war). These 13 people are charged with many federal charges. We want justice to be served. The DHS reported that 2019 is the most deadliest year involving domestic extremism since the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. We know that Trump has praised such extremist militia groups by saying to liberate Michigan after militia people with semiautomatic weapons stormed the Michigan Capitol building in trying to intimidate lawmakers. Many people at the building were neo-Confederates and white racists. Now, we know that some of the suspects may have links to the Boogaloo Boys. Many of them were from the Wolverine Watchmen or an offshoot of the Michigan Militia. Many of these extremists hate taxes, believe that legitimate gun control is about taking guns from innocent people (which is a lie), and support Donald Trump. Joseph Morrison's home had a Confederate flag in it. Trump has also disrespected the Michigan Governor even after the people involved in the plot were arrested. So, we know the deal.

I never revealed this information in public until now. Many of my paternal ancestors came from Virginia and North Carolina. Some came about to go as north as Bridgeport, Connecticut. I found out that my 4th cousin is a woman named Sharon Fountain Whitmore (who was born in 1957). She is my paternal cousin as we share the same ancestor of my later 4th great grandfather of George Perkins I (who was born in 1815 at Virginia). How does this story begin? First, George Perkins I had a son named George Perkins II (1847-1932). George Perkins II's wife was Fannie Lou Blackstock (1849-1949). This family moved from Virginia to Leaksville, Rockingham, North Carolina. They were married in 1868. One of their children were Gundora (or Geneva) Perkins (1868-1927). Geneva Perkins married Dennis Harris (1860-1928) on May 17, 1881 at Rockingham, North Carolina. One of their daughters were Cynthia (Luninda) Harris Broadnax (1885-1931). She married John W. Hairston at first. Later, Lucinda married Dennis Broadnax on September 26, 1909 at Rockingham, North Carolina. 

One of their children was my 3rd cousin Irene Broadnax (1920-2015). She was born in December 16, 1920. Later, she married King David Sam William Fountain (1914-1964) on Mach 31, 1936 at Henry, Virginia. This couple moved from North Carolina and Virginia into Bridgeport, Connecticut during the African American Great Migration. Irene and King David Fountain's daughter was Sarah Fountain Whitmore. Her husband was the late person James June Whitmore Jr. (1956-2011) with children like James, Quentin, Sharrene, Lorenzo, and Kimmora. These children are my paternal 5th cousins. Years ago, I never even heard of these human beings. Now, providentially, I know this information.
