One of the most important news is about the new January 6th committee hearing about how the Trump team put pressure on Mike Pence to eliminate the electors to make sure that the 2020 election was finished. Vice President Mike Pence refused to support Trump's plan to overturn the election, and Trump wasn't his friend anymore. Trump's pressure on Pence never worked. Two witnesses testified under oath that Pence never had the authority to overthrow the election. The former White House counsel said that Trump's former lawyer was willing to tolerate violence to overturn the election. It is no question that Trump executed an unprecedented coup d'état attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power. That is treason plain and simple. Only the DOJ or other authorities can charge Donald Trump. It is easier to do so now because Trump isn't President anymore in 2022.
Trump issued an order to Pence to fulfill an illegal order, and Pence refused to do it. Trump and his allies did many crimes. The Department of Justice wants the transcripts of the 1/6 House Committee to come to them. Former Trump attorney John Eastman denied discussing Supreme Court matters with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas or his wife. We know that Thomas' wife wanted to overthrow the 2020 election. Chairman Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson wants people with more evidence to submit to a tip line that the committee has set up. Eastman is a bad actor who still believes in election lies. Former Prence attorney Greg Jacob and retired Republican judge J. Michael Luttig told Mike Pence that he didn't have the authority to subvert the election. Many of the 1/6 terrorists wanted to hang Mike Pence (the insurrectionists were just 40 ft. away from him and his family during the January 6th insurrection), because Pence refused to follow Trump's evil agenda involving the election.
The January 6th probe found out that Trump supporters scoped out the U.S. Capitol. They photographed suitcases and other places like security checkpoints, hallways, etc. Many of the terrorists involved in the January 6th insurrection have been charged. They have photographed the office of Congressman Nadler. On tape, one GOP lawmaker gave a tour to a January 6th rioter who threatened lawmakers. This tour is obviously about a group of people casing the U.S. Capitol before the terrorist attack. Representative Loudermilk has been called on the committee to answer questions. So far, he refused to answer questions to the committee. The committee has released a new video on the recon tours on January 5, 2021. Loudermilk initially denied ever giving people a tour of the Capitol. We know that to be false. At the end of the day, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers planned this coup d'état against the American government. Trump supported illegal actions in trying to steal the 2020 election. Bannon will go to trial.
Juneteenth, on Sunday, June 19, 2022, is now a federal holiday signed by President Joe Biden on June 17, 2021. It is a very important holiday for black people and all people recognizing the fact that freedom from tyranny is always a blessing for humankind. My black ancestors were brought into the Americas in chains. My ancestors suffered the worst form of slavery in human history worldwide as the Maafa was global. Yet, my ancestors still became scholars, theologians, musicians, athletes, teachers, lawyers, social activists, judges, STEM experts, astronauts, and other heroes of society. Juneteenth has a long history. The Emancipation Proclamation from President Abraham Lincoln freed enslaved human beings in Texas and all states of the Confederacy on January 1, 1863. Later, the Union forces defeated the Confederate forces during the American Civil War in 1865.
The 13th Amendment banned slavery nationwide on December 6, 1865. By June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger came to the island of Galveston Texas to tell black people that the Civil War is over, and black human beings were forever free from bondage. It was from the General Order No. 3. The black people of Galveston celebrated the announcement. On June 19, 1866, freedmen in Texas celebrated Jubilee Day. From that time onward, the Juneteenth celebrations spread in Texas and across the United States of America (especially during the Second Great Migration when about five million black Americans left Texas, Louisiana, and other states of the South to live in Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, etc. Juneteenth is celebrated truly all over). Opal Lee helped make Juneteenth a federal holiday, and her work will forever be remembered and cherished by us.
