Rep. Mo Brooks now admits that Donald Trump repeatedly asked him to "rescind" the 2020 election. We already knew this, but confirmation from an extremist like Brooks should make people aware that the Trump administration is one of the most corrupt administrations in American history. Some ignore the fact that Trump wanted peaceful protesters of injustice to be banned from the NFL. Trump wanted to remove Biden. He failed. Brooks said that Trump spoke to him constantly on trying to steal the 2020 election. That is why Brooks lost the endorsement of the former President Trump in his race for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. Brooks was one of the fiercest supporting allies of Donald Trump. At the Stop the Steal rally at the White House, he said that he wanted to take down names and do another act being a threat. This information will be investigated by the House Select Committee on the January 6 terrorist, insurrectionist attack against the U.S. government. Brooks didn't decide whether he would cooperate with the January 6 committee or not. We desire the truth.
The hearing of Ketanji Brown Jackson was filled with emotion and fireworks from Republican Senators. Judge Jackson was blatantly subjected to insults, lies, and questions of her character that no white justice candidate never experienced in any Supreme Court nomination hearing. Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault, but Republican Senators treated Brett with kid gloves. Lindsay Graham constantly yells at Judge Jackson in an unprofessional way. An average person would get fired for screaming at a co-worker. Judge Jackson said that she had to follow guidelines in conviction policies. In other words, judges have to follow sentencing guidelines, and this never means that Judge Jackson was coddling sick child abusers. Ted Cruz asking Jackson if there are racist white babies is not only silly but offensive to the intellect of Judge Jackson. The weakness of conservatives is that many of them lack to understand the nuisance of issues. Judge Jackson sentenced the Pizzagate criminal for 4 years in prison. The constant interruption the constant disrespect, etc. are what tons of black women experience in and outside of the workplace constantly. It's a shame, and it's wrong.
Madeleine Albright passed away being 84 years old. She was the famous diplomat who served as the 64th U.S. Secretary of State from 1997 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. She was the first woman Secretary of State in American history. She was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Albright became an U.S. citizen in 1957. She has toured the world, worked in Middle Eastern affairs, and witnessed some of the most important events in foreign policy history. The truth is that her legacy is very wide ranging and complicated. We remember her life. She had cancer. Also, we can't sugarcoat her life. She was right to defend women's rights, support the Kyoto Protocols, and on other matters. Yet, she supported American imperialism in many ways, and she was wrong to do that. Back in 1996, Madeleine Albright actually said that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children via severe economic sanctions was worth it in Iraq. The Clinton administration enacted airstrikes against Iraq in February 1998 when I was a freshman in high school. Albright endorsed the expansion of NATO. She supported the US/NATO bombing of Serbia which harmed civilian locations too. Her mentor was the blatant elitist and Trilateral Commission member Zbigniew Brzezinski. Albright knew authoritarian nations firsthand, as she was a refugee who survived much suffering as a youth.
Days ago was the Birthday of a beautiful black woman who is a trailblazer of music. She was a former Black Panther Party member, a singer, a songwriter, and a great musician. She is the Queen of Funk and was part of the group Rufus for years. She is Sister Chaka Khan, and she is now 69 years old. Chicago is the city of her birth. She was raised in Hyde Park area with a beatnik father and a mother who allowed her freedom. She lived near the South Side housing projects. Her siblings were successful musicians. Her grandmother inspired her to follow music. She attended the elementary school call Saint Thomas the Apostle Church. When she was a child, she formed a girl group called the Crystalettes when she was 11. Laster, Khan attended many civil rights rallies with her father's 2nd wife Connie, a strong supporter of the movement. Her friend was Fred Hampton, and Chaka Khan joined the Black Panther Party in 1967.
By 1972, she joined the group called Rufus. Rufus made many hits. Tell Me Something Good is their hit during the 1970's. People know about their music like Sweet Thing, Hollywood, etc. Chaka Khan wore unique clothing. Chaka Khan danced and made her own solo career by the 1980's. I'm Every Woman was part of her classic songs like I Feel For You, and This is My Night plus Through the Fire. Chaka Khan worked with Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, and other people. She loves her children. Chaka Khan today is a vegan. Her recent 2019 album is called Hello Happiness. She earned many Soul Train Awards. To know funk and R&B music, folks should understand the impact of Chaka Khan in the music stage. I wish Sister Chaka Khan more blessings.
