Early April 2024 News.

 

The far right wing Israeli government of Netanyahu has committed overt war crimes plainly speaking. This is not hyperbole. He allowed the Shifa hospital attack killing over 400 human beings. Many foreign nationals among food aid workers were killed in an Israeli attack. Netanyahu called this unjust strike as "unintentional." How is it unintentional when he has some of the most advanced military equipment on Earth? The people who died were from the non-profit World Central Kitchen who just desired to send food to Palestinians in the Gaza area. Videos from CNN showed their bodies wearing World Central Kitchen vests after the airstrike in the central city of Dier Al-Balah. World Central Kitchen will temporarily stop operations in Gaza, so more members of the World Central Kitchen won't die. This liar Netanyahu is trying to make it seem like all Israelis support his far-right nonsense. The truth is that many fair-minded Israelis and Palestinians desire peace not occupation, not war-mongering terrorism inflicted in Gaza. There were Israeli protesters in Jerusalem protesting the conflict and wanting all Israeli hostages to come home. Netanyahu said that his government would investigate the incident. IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hargari said he spoke to World Central Kitchen founder Jose Andres to show condolences to the whole World Central Kitchen family.

Robert Kennedy Jr. gave a recent interview saying that President Biden is a bigger threat than Donald Trump. That obviously isn't true for multiple reasons. President Biden has imperfections, and I disagree with him on some issues. Yet, Trump considers the traitors involved in the January 6th attack as hostages. Biden never wanted to overthrow a legal election, but Trump has. Biden never has been accused of raping multiple women, but the court system found Trump liable for raping a woman. Trump has gone out of his way to say that he wants to be a dictator for one day if he is elected President in 2024. Robert Kennedy Jr. is funded by many pro-Trump supporters too. Robert Kennedy Jr. has the legal right to be on ballots as I believe in the First Amendment, but a vote for him is a vote for Trump. I will not support Robert Kennedy Jr. for his reactionary views. Trump's praising dictators and authoritarians including his embracing insurrectionists on January 6th shows his extremism. I will instead vote for democracy in November 2024.


One of my distant cousins passed away on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, at Sentara Princess Anne Hospital in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She was Dorothy A. Upshur Rogers. She was born in Nassawadox, Virginia to the parents of Jesse and Nelle Upshur. For over twenty years, Dorothy Rogers was a nurse's aide at Northampton-Accomack Memorial Hospital in Nassawadox (which is at the Virginia Eastern Shore). She was a teacher's assistant and library assistant at South Accomack Elementary School for over thirty years. She worked at the Summer Migrant Education program to teach children. Dorothy Adelle Upshur (1930-2020) was my 3rd cousin. Her father and 2nd cousin Jesse Bernard Upshur (1899-1993) had the parents of Alfred Seymore Upshur (1874-1935) and Juliet Brickhouse (1876-1971). My first cousin Juliet Brickhouse's parents were James Burton (1848-1931) and Ann Eliza Brickhouse (1857-1921). Ann Eliza Brickhouse's parents were my 3rd great-grandparents of Johnson Brickhouse (b. 1826) and Julia Perkins (b. 1835). Now, Dorothy Upshur Rogers married K. C. Rogers (1930-2009), and their children are Jacqueline Zenebia Rogers (b. 1951), Valerie Madina Rogers (b. 1954), and Keith C. Rogers (b. 1957). My 4th cousin Keith C. Rogers married Wanda Elaine Dickens (b. 1955) on September 19, 1981, in Newport News, Virginia. The children of Keith and Wanda Rogers are: Keith Cornell Rogers Jr. (b. 1986) and Brittany Nicole Rogers (b. 1989). The children of Valerie Madina Rogers (b. 1954) and Robert Wayne Poulson are Robert Lashawn Poulson (b. 1984) and Wayne Lamont Poulson (b. 1975).


There has been an increase in threats to U.S. federal judges since 2021 and threats against judges in general. Trump verbally attacking judges and a judge's daughter is cowardice, evil, and nefarious activity. Many critics of Trump call him insane. Trump is not insane, and he is a totally conscious person who knows what he is doing. There is evil in the Universe, and Trump has done evil in many of his actions and his words. We have to be upright people who treat our neighbors as ourselves. There should be more enforcement against people who make threats against judges, juries, and civil servants. Judges deserve to be protected in any society. Trump's attacks against Judge Juan Merchan have no place anywhere in the world. Trump's level of disrespect to the court system is unprecedented as a former president. This fact has been reiterated by retired Superior Court of California Judge LaDoris Cordell.


Recently, Judge Juan Merchan gave Trump another gag order to ban him from going after Judge Merchan and his daughter. This comes after Trump made cowardly, derogatory comments about Judge Merchan and his daughter. The judge's daughter's liberal political work has nothing to do with this case. The judge is fulfilling his responsibility to show an unbiased mentality in dealing with the money case involving Trump. Trump just wants no trial in trying to escape accountability for his actions. Still, you have Trump supporters defending Trump.
