Extra National and International News.

 


Right now, there is a unanimous vote to reinstate State Representative Justin Jones back to the State of Tennessee legislature. It is certainly good news and represents the power of the people in elected government. The GOP in Tennessee used racism and arrogance in trying to strip away political power from the people, but many fair-minded human beings fought back to ensure that we are a nation of laws not of fascism. Black people have every right to stand on principles not being tokens to the oligarchy. Many people in Nashville have cheered the reinstatement. Many people are marching to the state Capitol in Nashville. Vice President Kamala Harris is right to say that these 2 black human beings should not have their mics turned off. The person Sexton in Tennessee should be ashamed of himself for comparing peaceful protesters in Tennessee to the terrorists at the U.S. Capitol that destroyed property, harmed police officers with weapons and fists, and committed treason against American democracy. 


There is another killing of a cowardly gunman who killed 5 people and injured others at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky. The murderer was employed at the bank. Louisville authorities have set up an assistance center for those affected by the bank shooting. First responders have quickly ended more bloodshed from occurring. The solution is not arming teachers, going around banning legitimate regulations or going about worshiping guns. The murderer was notified that he would be fired from the bank and left a note before the shooting. A solution is a comprehensive approach that bans weapons of war from being used by almost all Americans, stronger federal background checks, and other common sense gun regulations that will save human lives. It is a lie to assume that reasonable gun regulation is the same as banning people's constitutional rights. This is not about banning all guns. It is about making sure that owning a gun is harder than voting or owning a car. Right now, in America, it is easier to own a gun than it is to vote, drink alcohol, and buy a car. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg spoke at a press conference about the horrendous tragedy. Kentucky Governor Andy Behear ordered all flags to be half-staff to honor the victims of the Louisville shooting.


We have more information about the Kentucky shooter. We know that he was a 25-year-old male bank employee who streamed the attack online. At least five human beings have died with multiple people have been injured. The shooter used AR-15 style weapons that were purchased locally and legally according to Louisville Police Chief Gwinn-Villaroel. Louisville officials released bodycam footage of the shooting. The shooting incident lasted for about 9 minutes. The shooting started just after 8:30 am. This was about 30 minutes before the bank opened to the public according to the police. Dr. Jason Smith, the chief medical officer, said that his hospital used 170 units of blood on Monday to treat the victims of the bank shooting. He said that the Red Cross and blood donations saved human lives. This year, about 40 people have been killed by guns during this year. There must be a change in our society where laws must exist to deal with this epidemic of gun violence. A local vigil will be held on Wednesday at 5 pm. at the Muhammad Ali Center to honor the victims of the shooting and unite as a community in Louisville, Kentucky.


People want to find out who leaked the documents that detailed the massive American involvement in the Ukraine war. Dozens of secret documents from the Pentagon and the U.S. intelligence agencies were released on social media platforms. U.S. officials have confirmed the reality of these documents. There is no question that the leaked documents showed that the U.S. and NATO had a major involvement in the war. The documents say that NATO deployed over 150 military personnel to Ukraine. NATO funds, arms, trains, and directly commends the Ukrainian military according to the documents. The war existed of a Russian invasion, and NATO has a vested interest in trying to make Ukraine a pro-NATO client state. The truth is that Russia is wrong to invade Ukraine, but Ukraine has the right to be independent of Western imperialism and Russian imperialism. Two wrongs don't make a right. The documents refute the neoliberal lie that NATO has no involvement in the Ukrainian war. The truth is that Ukraine has every right to use self-defense to defeat Russian military forces in Ukraine (it is clear that we condemn Putin's war crimes in Ukraine that many far-right and fake leftists deny, minimize, or omit), and we have to make sure that Ukraine has its independence too.


The Texas Republican Governor Abbott just ruin his political legacy further. He is light years even worse than Governor George W. Bush when Bush was governor. Governor Abbott wants to pardon a fascist killer named Daniel Perry. Perry was convicted of murdering 28-year-old Garrett Foster during the 2020 protests against racism and police terrorism. Abbott lied and said that the murderer used self-defense under the Stand Your Ground law. This is fascism. Abbott has been an enemy of the interests of the people of Texas for many years now. Justice Clarence Thomas defends his actions of receiving money from a controversial GOP donor. We know that he went to the Bohemian Grove, and we know what goes on in the Bohemian Grove. Justice Thomas went on vacations paid for by the GOP donor. This represents a conflict of interests. The debate is about whether Thomas violated the law or not. Obviously, Thomas doesn't believe that he violated the law. We know that these trips were undisclosed by Clarence Thomas. Democrats want Thomas's actions to be investigated. The irony is that Clarence Thomas went from a supporter of Malcolm X in his youth to being one of the most conservative Supreme Court Justices of all time. One of his most disgraceful actions was his vote to gut Section Five from the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
