President Joe Biden gave his debut UN General Assembly speech. He spoke about many issues like climate change, international relations, refugees, and other issues. He said that he wants to show power legitimately by being a great example. He wants global leadership on addressing the pandemic. Dangerous variants including My have ruined so many lives. Donald Trump wanted a strict America First creed. There are challenges in his administration like in Afghanistan, the Haitian refugee crisis, the climate change issue, and the submarine deal with Australia. France got rid of it's ambassador s over the Australian issue. International cooperation is an important means to get problems solved. Yet, we can't be naive to assume we should remake the world in America's image. Each nation on Earth have gone through growing pains and has the right to establish their own unique cultures and social mores in favor of human rights and other democratic values.
The 1/6 Commission investigations continues. A memo showed that Trump lawyers had a plan for overturning the election. This once again documents the hated of democratic values that Trump has. Trump supporter John Eastman promoted the election fraud lies. Trump was the person who incited an insurrection against the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Now, we know that Pence almost tried to prevent the certification of the 2020 election. Only Dan Quayle told Pence to not think about doing that and just certify the 2020 election. For years, Mike Pence has been a Trump acolyte who aided and abetted the evil policies of the corrupt former President Donald Trump. Pence should be ashamed of himself. The memo outlines the plan of an attempted coup.
There is certainly a massive amount of Haitian human beings at the Texas border. They are leaving because of the natural disaster in Haiti and political turmoil in their nation. Many Haitian people are waiting to get access into the United States of America at Del Rio and Ciudad Acuna. There is a double standard here. We know what the elephant in the room is. When tons of Afghan people were sent into America, they didn't have a massive event of mass deportation. For the record, I do agree with Afghan refugees coming into America. Yet, when black Haitians, who live in the same Western Hemisphere that I live at, desire a better life, then the current Biden administration hypocritically wants mass deportations of Haitian people. The Haitian migrants deserve asylum and respect of their human dignity (as said by Nicole Phillips or the legal director for the advocacy group Haitian Bridge Alliance). Even now, the government has been sending planeloads of human refugees (even black babies) back into Haiti knowing full well what is going on. Since 1804, Western powers wanted revenge on Haiti, because Haiti was the first black Republic of the Western Hemisphere who defeated the French for their independence. Then, Western powers used neo-colonial tactics in not only propping up puppets, but making Haiti pay reparations to France (when it should have been the other way around). These black Haitian people are human beings unequivocally deserving justice and humane treatment without exception.
Some racist stuff today is that border patrol is mounted on horseback using whips to round up Haitian refugees. This is racist and cruelty. It shows that some people care more for some people than other human beings based upon nationality and color. That is the textbook definition of racism. Some leaders of both major parties are silent on this atrocious treatment of black Haitian people because of the obvious reason. Now, thousands of refugees have been forced against their wills into Port au Prince or the capital of Haiti. Border Patrol Chief Raul L. Ortiz said that he wants thousands of more people to be deported. The current administration campaigned against Trump's xenophobic vilification of refugees and separation of immigrant children from their parents (which was evil). Now, we see barbaric treatment of Haitian human beings. This isn't progressive policies. This is disgraceful action. Trump said the racist comment that America is becoming a "cesspool" of humanity. Trump's anti-immigrant policies are wrong, and Biden's current repression and mass deportation of Haitian people is wrong too. We are all consistent in our views here.
Breaking news is that there was a shooting at the Newport News, Virginia high school named Heritage High School. Two people are wounded. Newport News is in the 757 or Hampton Roads, so it took place in my region. One child was taken into custody. Authorities are looking into the footage about the disturbing events. Students were evacuated from the campus. Comments have been made by the School superintendent George Parker III, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, and U.S. Senator Mark Warner. The reality is that gun violence is an epidemic in America. It doesn't discriminate. It has happened in rural places, in urban locations, and in the suburbs. It has harmed young, old, black people, white people, Asian people, Latino people, Native Americans, and everyone of every background. Therefore, we know what the solution is. Yet, far right extremists worship an inanimate object than honoring victims of gun violence. We have a crisis, and the solution require comprehensive gun control actions without token reform (but bold actions).
