News in the World.

 


Greg Jacob testified to the January 6th committee that Eastman knew that the elector scheme was against the law. Marc Short or the former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence said that he testified last week in front of a grand jury investigating the insurrection. Another aide to Pence did the same thing too. The Department of Justice continues to investigate the insurrection. Only the DOJ can charge Trump or anyone responsible for the far-right attempt coup d'état against the American government. Attorney Garland told NBC News that he intends to hold everyone criminally responsible for the January 6th insurrection. More and more people in the country of America see that Trump had a huge role in the conspiracy to try to overthrow the 2020 election. The Justice Department has expanded its investigations to the rioters and to the fundraising and organizing for the political rally. Every day, we are learning new information about what took place on that infamous day. The DOJ is asking questions about Trump's actions on January 6, 2021. The Stop the Steal organizer Ali Alexander testified to the grand jury too. More people are testifying under oath. We know what happened. The question is whether those involved in the near coup d'état against America will be held responsible.


Right now, Ukrainian political leaders want grain exports to continue this week. Russian missiles have stuck the southern port of Odessa. This comes just one day after Kyiv and Moscow agreed to a deal to allow shipments. America with working with Ukraine in trying to get grain exports out of the country. Grain exports help to supply food globally in immense ways. Grains are valuable crops that helps to develop farming and other food sources. Disruption of grains will increase inflation and cause other forms of economic instability. Russia and Turkey want to use military naval forces to escort Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea into the Bosporus (according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergie Lavrov). Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants Russia and Ukraine to act responsibly and honor agreements they signed in Istanbul last week on the export of Ukrainian grains.


Nothing shocks me about Viktor Orban of Hungary. He has been a racist, a liar, and a xenophobe bashing migrants for years. Recently, he gave a racist speech saying that he doesn't want Hungary to be a nation of "mixed race" people Orban forgets that historically, Hungary has always been a nation with multiethnic people with Hunnish, Roma, Turkish, Magyar, and other diverse ethnic origins spanning thousands of years. Orban also omits that black people lived in Europe for thousands of years. There were black soldiers, scholars, and writers in Europe during the days of the Roman Empire and before that time. Zsuzsa Hegedus, one of Orban's longest-serving advisers has resigned. Some people want Orban to go into Dallas, Texas to open the hate-filled CPAC Texas rally. Orban is admired by Donald Trump and other far-right conservatives in America. Orban is the person who is notorious to lock up refugees in modern-day camps at the border. Orban uses policies to suppress press freedom, judicial independence, and undermine multiparty democracy. Viktor Orban is representative of international far-right forces who seek to ruin human rights as we know it. 


Days ago was the Birthday of the late Walter Payton. He was a humanitarian and being one of the greatest football players in history. Payton loved to perform on the field with turns and other creative moves. He helped the Chicago Bears to win a Super Bowl during the 1980's. The Midwest is the location of his birth at Columbia, Missouri. He was so great that he was part of the 1970's and 1980's All-Decade Team of the NFL. He held records in career rushing yards, touchdowns, carriers, yards from scrimmage, all-purpose yards, and other categories. Payton helped to promote organ donation in American society. Chicago always loved Walter Payton, and Walter Payton loved his family too. Walter Payton gave both strength and a sensitivity to the game of football that can never be duplicated.

Rest in Power Brother Walter Payton.
