Later April 2025 News about the Earth.

 

This shows how cowardly Trump is. Jennifer Vasquez is the wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He is forced to hide in a safe house after the Trump administration posted her home address online and shared it with millions of people. Their children have to hide with her too. DHS official Tricia McLaughlin has attacked Abrego Garcia's wife after the Trump administration openly defied a Supreme Court order to bring Garcia home. Trump has no right to deport legal residents without due process of law. As Bernie Sanders has said, we have a corrupt campaign finance system that influences both major parties. For example, Sanders is right to say that Elon Musk spent up to $277 million to elect Donald Trump in 2024, and AIPAC has spent millions of dollars to defeat Democrats who oppose the far-right extremist and overt war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu (I heard of Netanyahu since the 1990s). Citizens United should be gone to allow Big Money out of U.S. politics.

The oligarchs have become wealthier as time has gone on. The 19 richest households in America increased their wealth by $1 trillion in the year of 2024, according to the capitalist The Wall Street Journal. Their combined wealth grew from 1.6 trillion dollars to 2.6 trillion dollars, a large 62.5 percent increase in one year. The smallest fortune in this group comes to $45 billion. Many of these billionaire oligarchs are Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, etc. Many of them include people like Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, and Steven Schwarzman. The one trillion dollars in increase in wealth for the 19 households is enough money to abolish poverty, hunger, and homelessness. It can cause a wage increase of $7,000 for each other. It could more than double the budget for K-12 public education. The billionaires use their influence to dominate television networks, educational services, police institutions, political organizations, and other aspects of society. The system of oligarchy benefits from an unchecked monopoly.

Legitimate regulations are always needed in our society for many reasons. Regulations can help save lives, improve our environment, and keep diseases away from the human race. Back in the 1850s, there were lax regulations on milk in New York State. Many people put chalk and alum in milk, causing thousands of babies to die. The public backlash led to the earliest food safety regulations in American history. Before federal inspection, meat was processed in filthy factories with spoiled cuts, rats, bacteria, and chemicals. Lead, arsenic, and mercury were found in many cosmetics back in the day, causing rashes to organ damage. The regulations have improved our world. The Trump administration now wants the EPA to roll back environmental safeguards (which will cause more pollution), some MAGA people want to remove habitat protections, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was gutted (making it harder to hold lenders and financial institutions accountable), and NOAA staff have been cut that harms the agency's ability to track climate data and predict disasters. Trump wants to deregulate crypto and childcare. History proves that we need legitimate regulations to grow our human civilization indeed.

Recently, Russian terrorists attacked Ukraine, from Kyiv to Pavlohrad. Many people have been murdered and injured by this illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine. Many of the same so-called anti-war crowd who are legitimately outraged at the war crimes taking place in Gaza are stone-cold silent when Ukrainian civilians are killed by war crimes. I wonder why? We know why. Trump is naive to think that Putin is just going to accept a deal in the immediate future. Putin doesn't want Ukraine to exist as an independent sovereign nation. Putin has made that clear in his speeches. Any token deal will give Putin an upper hand, and Putin will try to invade other places if given the opportunity. According to Kherson's region governor Oleksandr Prokudin, Russia has targeted critical infrastructure and residential buildings. Putin's attack on Kyiv on Thursday killed 12 people and wounded 87 other human beings. Putin doesn't want peace, but imperialism. Innocent Ukrainian people and innocent Russian people sincerely desire peace in Eastern Europe. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky wants peace and doesn't want Russia to control Crimea, which he said was against his country's constitution.

Let's mention the elephant in the room. Shannon Sharpe has been accused by one very young woman of rape, and she is suing him for $50 million. Sharpe denies all allegations, and the young woman is adamantly positive that he raped her. We will wait until all of the evidence comes out and find the truth one way or the other. One thing is true. Shannon Sharpe made terrible decisions regardless of if he is innocent of rape. First, Shannon Sharpe is a grown man, being almost 60 years old, having relations with a 19-year-old girl. When I say girl, I mean girl. I am 41 years old, and I consider any human being 25 years old or younger to be a baby. A 56-year-old man has no business in my opinion, to have romantic relations with a 19-year-old girl. Consensual relations may be legal (among a 56-year-old and a 19-year-old), but to me, that isn't morally right. A 19-year-old child should have the opportunity to live life and grow. Mo'Nique and other people tried to warn him. Shannon Sharpe wanted to live a hedonistic life, but there are serious consequences that result from hedonism. Sharpe needs to realize that he isn't white. Being a black man in America, we have to take more precautions than the average Joe. We must be wise and use Plan A, B, C, etc. That is the way it is. As black people in general, we have to be 2 to 3 times better than the average person to climb that ladder. That is the way it is. Many of our people need to stop living in fantasy and live in reality. Like always, rape is wrong, and all rapists should experience punishment for their crimes. The girl on a text message using Sharpe as a sexual fetish, and Sharpe loving it, shows his self-hatred. We haven't forgotten the offensive words Shannon Sharpe said about black women. He mocked the hair of black women, which contradicts his so-called pro-black statements on shows. So, once again, traitors never prosper. God is not mocked. What you reap is what you shall sow.
