Early March 2024 News.

 

There are tons of news today. President Biden and Trump made rival border visits. Immigration has been a huge issue that has been exploited to promote xenophobia and hatred in America. It becomes clear that the 2024 election will be a rematch between Trump and Biden. Biden accuses Trump and the GOP of tanking the bipartisan immigration deal with a lot of strict enforcement policies. Trump accuses Biden of not going far enough to deal with immigration and border security especially. Biden is considering sweeping executive action to restrict the migrants' ability to seek asylum at the U.S. southern border if they cross it in an undocumented fashion. Biden wants more immigration judges to address the backlog of asylum cases. These problems existed for decades. Decades ago, large corporations exploited labor overseas and in America along with American imperialists harming nations overseas (via CIA backed coups in Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Chile, etc.). Imperialism overseas and economic plus political problems in various nations caused many migrants to try to come to America for survival. Many migrants are exploited by large corporations for low wages, and many of the same corporate interests exploit black people, poor people, and other people at the same time (causing many migrants and many American citizens to go at each other instead of seeing the big picture of how the corporate elites caused the mess in the first-place harming both Americans and migrants alike). Only a comprehensive immigration solution is necessary to make it fair for Americans and migrants alike. MAGA extremists are more reactionary than Reagan on immigration (I don't agree with Reagan on many issues, but Reagan passed amnesty policies for undocumented immigrants back in the 1980's). That should tell people something.

The breaking news is that the Supreme Court will hear the Trump immunity case. This will cause a delay in the January 6th trial. The Supreme Court's action will definitely cause the case to happen later than expected. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on April 22, 2024. Jack Smith's DOJ is trying to make Trump accountable for his actions. The Supreme Court will decide if Trump can do what he wants and be immune from prosecution or not. This Supreme Court ruling will deal with Trump's claim that he is immune from anything in office. Jack Smith made much progress on this case, but the Supreme Court will cause his cause to be interrupted which can possibly delay the trial until after the November 2024 election. Jack Smith opposes the Supreme Court taking the case on as delaying the trial to happen as soon as possible. One Trump lawyer made the ridiculous claim that Trump has a license to kill people because of "immunity."

President Joe Biden won the Michigan Democratic primary recently and Trump won the same GOP primary too. Michigan has a high percentage of Muslims and Arabic Americans. There is a group called "uncommitted" who voted against Biden in the Michigan primary. They desire a ceasefire now involving Palestinian rights. This group is made up of Muslims, African Americans, Arabic Americans, Latino Americans, Jewish Americans, labor groups, and peace plus justice advocates. This group has a Sunday rally at the Dearborn Manor. Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has been overt in her call for a ceasefire too. We have a new era in our time. We have a war in Ukraine caused by Russia. We have a genocidal onslaught against Palestinian people causing hunger and destruction. We have conflicts in the South Asia Sea between America and China. We have a McCarthyite witch hunt on college campuses against people opposing the war crimes in Gaza, and Biden compromising to support some authoritarian policies against immigrants. We have also fake leftists and MAGA extremists supporting Putin and the authoritarian policies of China's leader Xi. Capitalist exploitative policies in America and the West in general resulted in massive income inequality, high inflation among groceries, and the growth of homelessness in America alone. Many people have to work 2-3 jobs to survive. At the end of the day, either Biden or Trump will win the 2024 election. We all hope democracy wins in 2024 indeed.

Mark Meadows has been denied a new hearing in federal court in the Fulton election case. Mark Meadows was one of Trump's closest advisors involved in the election plot of 2020 that wanted to steal the 2020 election. It has been found out that a key witness was involved in the push to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from the Georgia election case against Donald Trump. There were found 413 texts between Terrence Bradley, and Ashleigh Merchant, an attorney for one of Trump's co-defendants. The texts show many months of communication between the two. Bradley worked with Merchant to find evidence that Willis and her top prosecutor Nathan Wade engaged in an improper romantic relationship. Bradley has been caught using disparaging language against Wade and Willis. Wade and Willis admitted to having a romance, but they testified that their relationship started after Willis appointed Wade to lead prosecutor in the Trump case. Ultimately, Judge Scott McAfee will determine how much of the newly filed text messages merit what analysis in this case.

There was a recent catastrophic incident in Gaza after other terrible events in Gaza. Israeli forces opened fire in Gaza killing at least 112 people according to the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza. This is barbarism. This act has nothing to do with confronting Hamas's terrorism. It has nothing to do with promoting the humanity of Jewish people. It has nothing to do with decency and freeing hostages. It is cold-blooded murder by a far-right Israeli government that doesn't give a care about Jewish or Arabic people in the region. That government wants power, doesn't care about confronting anti-Semitism (as Netanyahu supports the overt racist Orban in Hungary), and desires the eradication of Palestinian people from Gaza. President Biden wants ceasefire talks, but he must go into national television and condemn Netanyahu's overt terrorism in the Middle East by name. Netanyahu being an ally of Trump is not surprising. Over 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and many Israelis have been killed too unjustly. 112 people died after desiring to get food and aid in northern Gaza and about 760 people have been injured. Israel's military and eyewitnesses gave contradictory accounts of the events. IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that Israeli tanks fired warning shots to disperse a crowd around an aid convoy (after seeing people being trampled). Why is it the first response warning shots against people seeking food? The rational response is to send assistance to stop people from being trampled. Also, it is important to make a distinction between far-right wing Israelis (including Hamas) and righteous Israelis and righteous Palestinian people who desire peace and justice in the region.
