On Saturday, fascists and racists are returning to the scene of the crime at the U.S. Capitol in a disgraceful rally. Trump has supported these evil people. Also, we know that a poll shows that 78 percent of the GOP said that Biden didn't legitimately win the 2020 election. This is ludicrous, but we know that extremism that promotes overt anti-democratic values must always be rejected. For Trump to glorify the insurrectionists on January 6, 2021 shows him to be a real traitor to America. The terrorists in 1/6 committed sedition and treason. Some people in the U.S. minimized the threat of far right terrorism. We have a domestic threat in our country of America. This hate rally on Saturday have made the U.S. Capitol to be required to be prepared. The fence will go up at the U.S. Capitol. Tons of GOP lawmakers are silent except only about 2 members of the House. We know that these domestic terrorists (i.e. the Proud Boys, far right militias, racists, anti-Semites, etc.) want to destroy the diversity found in American democracy.
PBS will release Ken Burns' four part documentary on Muhammad Ali on Sunday. For decades, Muhammad Ali meant many things to many people. One truth about his legacy was about his lifelong humanitarianism and his promotion of his Blackness on his own terms. Not too long ago, some people were ashamed of being black or having descent from Africa. Muhammad Ali and others including Malcolm X changed that. Not only is Muhammad Ali the greatest heavyweight boxer in history. He is one of the most profoundly influential human leaders in all of human history too. He defeated many of his opponents in their primes from Foreman to Joe Frazier. Ali also stood up against the Vietnam War in 1967. Back then, many people left the country for Canada in opposition to the war. Some burned draft cards. Muhammad Ali stood by his convictions and risked prison time for his refusal to go into the draft. That certainly takes massive courage. He later worked with other nations to fight poverty, fight illiteracy, and promote peace worldwide. Muhammad Ali was always a people person, and that showed up in his conduct with everyday people. Therefore, the Muhammad Ali story should be told, as it's part of the black story including the human story.
Yesterday was the Birthday of Sister Kyla Pratt, and she is 35 years old. She has been on movies and shows like One on One, Dr. Dolittle, Hotel for Dogs, the Proud Family, and The Proud Family Movie.

Many people are talk about the new book called Peril (written by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa from the Washington Post). It details information about how Trump wanted to instigate war with China as part of the January 6 coup attempt. Trump denies any allegations, but Trump is known as a habitual liar. So, Trump can't be trusted. The book exposes how close America is to the total collapse of American democracy in general. The book said that General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, took extraordinary steps to stop Trump from instigate a war with China. China was concerned that Trump might start a war against China, so Milley assured China that no such U.S. invasion was going to happen. Gina Haspel or CIA Director warned Milley that America was on its way to a right wing coup. Milley told General Li Zoucheng of China that no invasion of China would take place on January 8, 2021. These revelations outline the criminality of the Trump regime. Trump supporters and overt fascists are trying to get a rally on Saturday to support the storming of the U.S. Capitol months ago.
It is important to mention this story. During the Ja Rule and Fat Joe verzuz, Fat Joe made a derogatory remark about Vita and Lil Mo calling them the b word and other names. Fat Joe was wrong, and he issued the token "apology." The reality is that us as black folks should never allow anyone disrespect our people. Fat Joe saying the n word is wrong and is an affront to the sacrifices of our black people worldwide. Fat Joe is the same person who didn't support Colin Kaepernick's protest. Joe said the lie that Colin was disrespecting soldiers, when one military soldier said Colin could protest by taking a knell in public. Yet, sellouts still defend this and Fat Joe's usage of the n word. The truth is that us as black people must stay on code and defend our human rights without apology.
