According to the United Nations, more than 10 million people have fled from their homes in Ukraine. More than 2 million people are refugees in Poland. We have reports of Russian troops working to push journalists out of Ukraine. This is a violation of the freedom of the press. Any Putin apologist is a traitor to democracy and human liberty. Putin passes laws violating freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. His police forces look up thousands of peaceful protesters in Russia. Yet, you still have far right extremists and fake leftist "anti-imperialists" supporting Vladimir Putin. They don't care about humanitarian crisis in Europe, but they do care about support Putin's far right regime. Putin is a far right nationalist not a hero. We know of the hypersonic missiles harming civilian locations. Those actions are outright war crimes. Subsequently, you have far right extremists, Hoteps, and other agents either defending Putin or minimizing the war crimes in Ukraine by Russian forces. All 3 factions have no respect from me at all. The truth is that this Russian invasion of Ukraine is evil, unjust, and makes a mockery or true morality. 4 journalists have been killed by Russian military terrorists.
The Russian military's atrocities in Mariupol should be known. These forces attacked homes and a hospital. AP journalists have documented the horrors in the city. They reported how the Russians targeted the maternity hospital. Emergency workers had to pull bloodied pregnant women from the hospital. Russian authorities lied and tried to slander the victims of the bombed hospitals. One woman died with her baby being died too from the Russian war crimes. Russian terrorists use the letter Z on the hospital to represent their actions. Journalists have risked their lives to tell the truth what is really going on in Ukraine. A theater and an art school were attacked by Russian airstrikes. About 4,500 residents from Mariupol have been taken against their will across the Russian border. At least 2,000 civilian causalities have existed in Ukraine. Hypocrites and liars say that this war has nothing to do with us. The truth is that it has to do with us as this war has increased oil prices and threatens to cause a global food crisis.
Days ago, Ketanji Brown Jackson gave his opening statement at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. Jackson has not only superb qualifications. She has tons of knowledge of legal matters. She thanked President Biden and Vice President Kamala (including their spouses) for giving her the opportunity in the nomination process. She spoke about her faith in God inspiring her to fulfill her career in legal matters. She talked about her parents who moved from Miami to Washington, D.C. to gain a new life. She was born in D.C. too. Later, Jackson said that her parents instilled in her and her younger brother, Ketajh, the importance of public service. Jackson has praised the Judge Constance Baker Motley, who was the first African American woman to be appointed to the federal bench. She wanted to make sure that wants to ensure liberty and justice for all if she joins the Supreme Court. Republicans are already spreading lies about her involving her record. Yet, many people are defending her human dignity as a qualified black woman. Hopefully, after the Senate confirmation hearing, she will be the next justice on the sacred Supreme Court.
Judge Jackson continues to have her confirmation hearing. Once again, she has defended her record, and as usually far right Republicans are misinterpreting her record. Far right Republicans just promote the lie that she promotes critical race theory, when Republicans want to promote a whitewash, sugarcoated myth about American history. Critical race theory has nothing to do with Judge Jackson's philosophy and qualifications on the court. Extremists like Ted Cruz omit that Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were notorious racists who believed in the lie that black people were intellectually inferior. Cruz also omits that systemic racism is a documented reality proven by testimonies from human beings and sociological studies. She currently sits on the D.C. federal appellate court. In the hearing, many Republicans try to portray her as "soft as crime," many tons of Republicans of soft on confronting racial injustice. Judge Jackson said that she supports the rule of law and the concern of public safety in condemning inappropriate images of children. She defended the right of journalists to use their First Amendment rights to express their views. She talked about the issue of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Judge Brown said that she is a nondenominational Protestant, and her religious views are separate from her decision-making act on the court (as the Constitution says that there is no religious test in electing officials in the federal government).
New discoveries about genealogy are commonplace in this generation. On my Ancestry.com account, there is a new person related to me named Francis Allison Burgess. At first, I didn't know how he was related to me. Now, I know via a lot of research in March of 2022. He was born in October 25, 1978 at Washington, D.C. His parents are Vernon Alfred Burgess (1946-2016) and Gladys Mae Kindred Burges (b. 1950). Francis' late sister was Stephanie Latrice Burgess (1975-2021). Francis and Stephanie Burgess are my 5th cousins. The late Stephanie Latrice Burgess was a righteous black woman who lived from July 19, 1975 to March 14, 2021. She was born in Washington, D.C. When she was young, she was educated in the Anne Arundel County Public Schools and graduated from Arundel High School in the year of 1991. She attended Anne Arundel Community college too. Later, Stephanie Burgess joined the U.S. Army, she served her country for four years, and she had an honorable discharge. She became a mother, grandmother, and friend to countless human being. She loved her five children named Rian Burgess, Ravyn Burgess-Dunn, Renae Burgess, Garvyn Burgess, and Emmaline Roach. Her granddaughter is Izabella Valdez (whose parents are Ravyn Burgess-Dunn and Jeffrey Valdez). Stephanie Burgess' homecoming took place in Waldorf, Maryland. Her children and granddaughter are my maternal cousins. I can trace back his ancestors long in the past too. Gladys Mae Kindred Burges was born on February 7, 1950 at Southampton County, Virginia. Her parents were John Anderson Kindred (1910-1987) and Katie Bell Kindred (1921-1995). Katie Bell Kindred was my 3rd cousin whose parents are Kennie Godwin Vincent (b. 1887) and Annie Beulah Whitehead (1895-1963). Annie Beulah Whitehead was my 2nd cousin, and her parents were James L. Whitehead (b. 1857) and Lula Claud (1869-1928). My 1st cousin Lula Claud's parents are George Washington Claud (1854-1923) and Annie Harris (b. 1850). George Washington Claud's mother was my 5th great grandfather Zilphy Claud (1820-1893). Therefore, Francis Burgess, Stephanie Burgess, and I are descendants of Zilphy Claud. That is how they are related to me.
