President Biden supports the UAW strikes against selected Big Three plants in Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio. There are record profits that must be turned into record contracts for the workers. Biden sent Secretary of Labor Julie Su and White House adviser Gene Sperling to Detroit to promote a solution. Senator Peters walked the picket line. The executives must share their resources as their salaries are more than $20 million per year. In our generation, anti-tax hysteria is not only promoted by MAGA extremists but some from the corporate media who care more for laissez faire capitalism than liberation for human beings. Many GOP members desiring the impeachment of Biden and a shutdown of the federal government outlines their hatred of a strong federal government in serving the interests of the American people. Jack Smith has asked the Judge Chutkan to stop Trump's disrespectful words to the judge, prosecutor, jurors, and court officials in the upcoming January 6th election interference trial.
There were drone strikes in Sudan. It targeted Wagner backed forces in Sudan. Ukrainian special services are likely responsible for the drone strikes and a ground operation against a Wagner backed militia near Sudan's capital. Wagner is a Russian mercenary group. This strike is an expansion of the war in Ukraine. We have Ukranian drone attacks inside Russian territory. Ukraine has continued its counteroffensive on the country's occupied east and south. The Wagner backed Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group was targeted by 14 drones. The Wagner wants to expand their reach in Africa from Mali, Sudan, the Central African Republic, Libya, and possibly to Chad. The Wagner group played a key role in Moscow's foreign military campaigns, including in Ukraine. The Wagner group and Russia wants to get Africa's resources to fund their campaigns in Ukraine, etc. They do this to circumvent Western sanctions against Russia. The truth is that Ukraine has the right to defend itself in Ukraine, but I disagree with strikes in Russia and in Africa, because these targets have nothing to do with defending the nation of Ukraine.
Far right fascism is not gone from society in America. Recently, the Chicago Defender Charities Board banned the Revolution Club of Chicago from participating in Chicago’s annual Bud Billiken Parade in Chicago’s South Side (filled with black Americans). The reason is that the Revolution Club Chicago is a revolutionary socialist organization located in the South Side. They have been part of the parade for years and people cheered them for opposing racism, imperialism, and economic oppression. They were also banned because of an incident the Board claimed took place in 2019 (of one person destroying the U.S. flag. I personally don’t agree with destroying the U.S. flag, but it’s constitutionally protected free speech as validated by the Supreme Court). The Board say that the parade is not the time “or place for political or social agendas.” That is a load of nonsense, because that statement is no different than telling basketball players the offensive words of “shut up and dribble.” It’s hypocritical, because many Democratic Party activists and politicians marched in the parade for years and decades. Racist terrorists threaten violence against my people for centuries, but we still have parades and marches. It is an insult to the Civil Rights Movement to imply that one incident merits no political agenda being shown in a march when the March on Washington in 1963 was all about political agendas. We don’t need far right propaganda shown by the country singer Jason Aldean singing “Try That in a Small Town.” We need justice and reparations for black Americans.
Some good news is that the five Americans jailed in Iran are coming home to America. The Americans stopped at Doha, Qatar earlier on Monday according to a U.S. official. These individuals were wrongfully detained. The deal to free them came between America and Iran. The U.S. will unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian funds. Many of the Americans freed are Emad Shargi, Morad Tahbaz, Siamak Namazi, and two other not named Americans. The Treasury Department said that the U.S. imposed sanctions on Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in connection to the detention of the Americans. The flight will take the Americans from Doha to Washington, D.C. After that, the freed American will reunite with their loved ones. They will have the option to participate in a Department of Defense program called PISA or Post Isolation Support Activities to help them acclimate back to normal life in America. The Iranian deputy foreign minister Al Bagheri-Kani said that he is happy for the release of the five nationals.
Trump said that it was his decision to try to overturn the 2020 election results which he had no right to do. Trump said that he listened to some people, but it was his decision to do it. Trump has been indicted over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results. Special Counsel Jack Smith want Trump to be held accountable for his actions. Trump pushes this false claim of the 2020 election being stolen while he is having his 2024 Presidential campaign. Trump said that he didn't listen to his attorneys who told him that he lost the election because he didn't respect him. The Trump campaign tried to install fake GOP electors in seven swing states. He also try to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger and another official to recalculate the numbers and find enough votes not let him win. This is blatantly wrong.
