Hurricane Ian and other Information.

 

Hurricane Ian is headed for Florida. It's not a game. Evacuations have taken place in the state for a time now. Also, Iran has made landfall in western Cuba on early Tuesday. This Category 3 storm is a life-threatening storm too. The hurricane is very dangerous and people in Charlotte County are preparing for the damage and storm surge. People predict the storm surge from Ian in Florida to be well above 10 feet. Many people in various parts of the state are urged to leave their homes immediately or seek shelter. People with RVs and mobile homes are being told to evacuate from Flagler County. The Hurricane is well over 100 mph in its top sustained winds. Venice, Florida is suspending potable water services to the island starting at around 8pm. on Wednesday. Universal Orlando resort themes parks close due to Hurricane Ian as well. Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, and Naples are in the crosshairs now. People staying in Florida are advised to leave their homes and if they are stuck, stay in their area, not outside. Ian is unlike any Hurricane in Florida for decades. The storm is a Category 4 storm now with winds up to 155 mph. It could strengthen further which is messed up news. 

The seditious conspiracy trial of Oath Keeper leader Stewart Rhodes is taking place. The Oath Keepers is a far-right militia group who supports Trump and was involved in the violent, treasonous attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Rhodes is being accused of being in a seditious conspiracy to attack the U.S. Capitol building. The federal government is accusing him of using teams of Oath Keepers to rush into Washington, D.C. from Virginia on January 6, 2021. Many of these terrorists have said that Trump ordered them to do these abhorrent actions at the U.S. Capitol. We know of the Roger Stone interview, the Trump aide testimony, and other evidence showing a conspiracy against American democracy and against the American people. Roger Stone, on tape, said profanity and wanted legal election results to be gone by violence. The Oath Keepers hypocritically claim to support the Constitution, but they were involved in a conspiracy to end legal constitutional processes like the peaceful transition of power after a legal 2020 election took place. 

Many courageous people in Iran have protested the death of Mahsa Amini. She was in the custody of Iran's "morality police." Iran is a theocratic, authoritarian state since 1979. Women face massive oppression in Iran, and human beings in Iran desire freedom and democratic rights. Protests in favor of real freedom in Iran and justice for Mahsa Amini have existed worldwide too. Masha was only 22 years old. Iran has massive social and economic complications too. The bourgeois state in Iran has been filled with imperfections. Amini was arrested for "improperly" wearing a hijab by the morality police. Reports suggest that she was severely beaten by the police. Some accuse the police of hitting her in the head with a baton and slamming her against a police vehicle. The police claimed that she died of health problems, but Amini's family said that she had no health issues. The Iranian government has fired live rounds at protesters in Iran. Amimi was a Kurdish minority in Iran. For decades, the Shah brutalized Iranian citizens (being funded by America and the West). Since 1979, a theocracy existed. Iran should be free but not a U.S. puppet state. It should have its own independence free from oppression and authoritarianism.

The situation with Ime Udoka's suspension is very tragic for Nia Long. For years, Nia Long has been in love with a cheater. Ime Udoka did wrong, but I also blame the Celtics organization for not showing transparency. They were inconsistent once not suspending him for a long time to be suspended for the whole season. It doesn't show consistency. If Ime is wrong, either fire him or punish him in other ways without switching up punishments. I agree with Stephen A. Smith for saying that the Celtics should have been clearer on their punishment. Stephen A. Smith responded to Malika Andrews for misinterpreting what Smith had to say. Smith said that he isn't blaming anyone but Udoka for this situation. Smith is right to say that if the Celtics leadership is not handling it privately, then the Celtics have that responsibility to go out and show why they punish Udoka. Either fire the man or not but not be ambiguous about your punishment. Management should handle the situation the same from across the board in a fair fashion. Me personally, Udoka violated policies that merit punishment, and he should face accountability for his wrong actions that have no justification at all.

One shocking news is that the neo-fascist-linked Giorgia Meloni of the Brothers of Italy (Fdl) party wins the general election. Her party is a direct descendant of Benito Mussolini's fascist Party. Fascism is a threat to world civilization and democracy. Fascists murdered black people, communists, socialists, Jewish people, and other human beings during the Holocaust. Fascism is anathema to peace and freedom because fascism denies the fundamental, sacrosanct tenets of equality, community, and solidarity. This is the most significant fascist event in Italy since the rise of Benito Mussolini during World War II. Meloni wants to seek a far-right government. Italy's main social-democratic party fell to less than 19 percent. The populist Five Star Movement (M5S) won 15.5 percent. There should be unity among the working class and the oppressed to stand up against imperialism, social austerity, and bigotry worldwide. Worldwide, extremists have promoted austerity, bank bailouts for the rich, and imperialist wars. Many of our ancestors in real life fought fascism during the American Civil War, WWII, etc. Melino praised Benito Mussolini in 1996 and the Nazi collaborator and co-founder of MSI Giorgio Almirante in 2020. She believes in the racist Great Replacement lie.
