Changing Times.

 

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) ends his bid to be the House Speaker. Trump called him a "Rino." Emmer is a conservative person. So, Trump knows that Emmer is not a moderate, but Trump is so extreme that he wants unconditional loyalty to him like a cult. Trumpism is a modern-day cult that provoked people to threaten folks, promote election lies, and advance overt bigotry. Recently, Jenna Ellis took a plea deal in the Georgia election case. Jenna Ellis was a member of the Trump team trying to overthrow Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. He was a former senior advisor to the Trump campaign. This makes 4 people take a plea deal involving the 2020 Georgia election probe. These people admitted their roles involved criminality. Jenna Ellis gave an emotional statement to the court that she was wrong, and Trump lost the election. This is unique, because their testimonies can be used against Trump as they were very close to Trump. Ellis was with Rudy Guiliani drafting memos in promoting states refusing to count votes. So far, Rudy refuses to plead guilty. Attorney Fani Willis is wise to allow her case to proceed and get these guilty pleas.

Two more hostages are released by Hamas. Right now, demonstrations on both sides are massive worldwide. In London, there were 300,000 people protesting Israel's war on Gaza. Nearly 5,000 people have marched in Washington, D.C. Many of them blame Netanyahu and Biden's policies not every Israeli person. About 10,000 people marched in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. In Norfolk, Virginia, about 300 people marched in the downtown area about the situation in Gaza. In downtown Los Angeles, California, over 25,000 people have marched in Los Angeles, California. The pictures of Gaza images speak for themselves. Hamas is a terrorist group who murdered innocent civilians in Israel, raped Jewish people, and kidnapped innocent people. That is wrong and unjust. Also, the occupation and the oppression of Palestinian people are also wrong and unjust too. Benjamin Netanyahu is a far-right zealot who was opposed by most Israelis before the Hamas attack. This doesn't mean that Israel should allow the hostages to stay. Every legitimate effort should be made to free the Jewish hostages, so they can go home. Also, we need more humanitarian aid in Gaza as Gaza has a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Therefore, Israelis and Palestinians have the right to live in justice, peace, and a real existence without injustices.

There is a report that Mark Meadows has been granted immunity and he told the Special Counsel that he warned Trump about 2020 claims. This is a huge development, and it's one of the most important news in the Trump January 6th case. If Meadows has immunity and tells the truth, Trump is again in big trouble legally. The Department of Justice giving immunity to Mark Meadows is a game changer involving the case against Trump Now, we have Trump aides flipping under pressure after hundreds of people testifying voluntarily. Three Trump lawyers will now testify to avoid long sentences in prison. The January 6th witness Cassidy Hutchinson said that the Trump lawyers confessing to elector fraud and voter breach is the start of accountability involving people who allied with the nefarious actions of Donald Trump.

Joe Biden wants a 2 state solution. That is why the Gaza occupation must end. The mistakes of U.S. foreign policy after 9/11 should be avoided. Biden wants $100 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza. We have a situation where it's fascism vs. democracy. In China, the Internet is regulated so much that people are banned from going to certain sites. In Russia, there are many Russian press members in jail for opposing the Putin regime. Biden has made many accomplishments like his record-breaking job creation through investments in clean energy and infrastructure. That is why we not only believe in the rule of law. We believe in tolerance, equal opportunity, sacrificing for the common good, and upholding the truth. We want justice fully and transparently.

Yesterday was the Birthday of the late Rosa Parks. In recent years, many people have wanted to lie and sugarcoat her legacy, but this is a new year where the truth will be shown. Rosa Parks was revolutionary in every sense of the world. Rosa Parks was born and raised in the Deep South. Long before the 1950's, she was active in social causes like working in the NAACP to defend the lives of black women rape victims. Rosa Parks supported labor rights, black freedom, and justice for all long before she refused to get up from her seat. Also, Rosa Parks helped with the Montgomery Bus Boycott in many ways. Later, she lived in Virginia and Detroit. In Detroit, Rosa Parks didn't stop in her quest for freedom. She fought for economic justice, worked with the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, fought for the rights of prisoners (especially political prisoners), and earned awards by her own merit. Malcolm X was her personal hero. Rosa Parks lived a long time on Earth, and she remained true to herself without compromise. Rosa Parks set a huge standard involving freedom. Rosa Parks didn't just talk about justice. Rosa Parks was an active participant in the ongoing freedom struggle constantly. She passed away in 2005 when I was in my early 20's. Now, she belongs to the ages as a heroic black woman who stood up for us triumphally.

Rest in Power Sister Rosa Parks.
