The Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the Trump immunity claim. Trump has no basis for his immunity claim. No President has the right to have unlimited power to do what he or she wants regardless of if he or she is President or not in office. Clarence Thomas shouldn't judge this case as having a conflict of interests via his wife. His wife was involved in the conspiracy to try to steal the 2020 election. Justices Kagan and Jackson made great points that the President has no authoritarian edict to escape accountability if they violate constitutional law. Presidents are not immune from prosecution if that President tries to overthrow the government or commit felonious actions against the American people. In other words, a President can't murder innocent people or rape a person. There are limits to Presidential powers as proven by the separation of powers (there are three co-equal branches of government as outlined by the Constitution). The Supreme Court recently has gutted voting rights, ended affirmative actions in universities, and made other reactionary decisions.
David Pecker testified that what the Nation Enquirer was doing was unlawful. Donald Trump continues to have his New York criminal hush money trial. Pecker was the ex-publisher of the magazine. Also, he was questioned by prosecutor Joshua Steinglass and then cross-examined by Trump's attorney Emil Bove. Pecker said that he helped broker with adult film star Stormy Daniels and the tabloid's operations for suppressing negative stories about Trump, so they wouldn't influence the 2016 election. Prosecutors accuse Trump of taking part in an illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of that election, which included the payment of Daniels.
It is important to celebrate the life of my late 3rd cousin Doretha Williams Grinnard. She lived from February 20, 1939, to April 10, 2024. We share the same ancestor as Zilphy Claud (1820-1893). Her parents were Theodore Lewis Williams (1906-1993) and Ethel Lena Gilliam (1911-2001). Theodore Lewis Williams's parent was Peter Percy Williams (1880-1949). Peter Percy Williams's mother was Adaline Hill (1862-1930). Adaline's Hill's parents were Tom Hill and Sarah Claud. Sarah Claud's mother was my 5th great grandmother Zilphy Claud. Doretha Williams Grinnard was a hard-working woman and a religious woman who faithfully believed in God. She grew up in the rural area of Southampton County, Virginia where many of my maternal relatives are from. She was a member of Bryant's Baptist Church in Courtland, Virginia. Doretha graduated from Southampton County Training School in 1959. Later, she married Thomas Grinnard being a couple for 64 years. Doretha worked in New York at the Federbush Loose-leaf Building Company. She worked in New York City to be a worker for 20 years in the City of New York Department of Social Services. Doretha and Thomas worshipped God in Deer Lake, New York and at Union Baptist Missionary Church in Suffolk, Virginia. Doretha and Thomas Grinnard have three daughters whose names are Michele Grinnard Hite, Toni Grinnard, and Tanya Grinnard. Their two grandchildren are Dominique Hite and Christian Reed. Doretha Williams Grinnard's siblings are: James Williams, Fred Williams, Theodore Williams, Douglas Williams, Hattie Pope, Ethel Easter, Nannie Rollins, Sadie Hill, Katie Flythe, Brenda Tillery, John Williams, and Marvin Williams.
During the protests at Columbia University, the House Speaker Republican Mike Johnson called on the school President to resign. He had a tense news conference when the crowd repeatedly interrupted him and at times loudly booed him and other GOP lawmakers. Columbia has extended negotiations with student activists over the dismantling of the pro-Palestinian encampment. The University said that it will extend its hybrid model via final exams. The pro-Palestinians have spread nationwide. State troopers in riot gear started to break up a group of protesters at the University of Texas at Austin after a demonstration on Wednesday. The University of Southern California has closed its gates and required individuals who need access to its campus to present identification. USC has also canceled its public graduation ceremony. Similar protests are in Boston, Atlanta, and at Ohio State University. The truth is that anti-Semitism should be condemned universally, but peaceful protest that promotes a ceasefire, Palestinian human rights, and peace for Israelis and Palestinians is not anti-Semitism.
My 3rd cousin Nannie Vivian Williams Rollins was born on February 18, 1936, in Southampton County, Virginia. Her parents were Theodore Lewis Williams (1906-1993) and Ethel Lena Gilliam (1911-2001). He married William Henry Rollins Sr. (1933-2018) in 1958 in New York City. The couple had many children who are: Evelyn Rollins Gaines, Michael Rollins, Sharon M. Rollins, William H. Rolins Jr., and Pamela Rollins. Nannie Vivian Williams's grandfather was Peter Percy Williams (1880-1949). Peter Percy Williams's mother was Adeline Hill (1862-1930). Adaline Hill's parents were Sarah Claud and Tom Hill (1838-1915). Sarah Claud's mother was my 5th great-grandmother Zilphy Claud (1820-1893).
