The Reality that We Live In.

 

It has been over 10 years since the MAGA movement has started, and it has been the greatest threat to our democracy since the American Civil War. Back then, the Confederate enemy wanted slavery to spread in America, but they were defeated by black people and Union soldiers (which included many black people too). Today, we have the MAGA cult that have members who unconditionally support Trump, silent on genocide, silent on violations to our democratic freedom, and silent on Trump's bigotry. These Trump supporters should feel shame as the Trump administration has burned over 500 metric tons of U.S. emergency food rations meant for starving kids in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other places in the world. This is cruelty. These MAGA hypocrites invoke God in their justification to support Trump, but such behavior by Trump is demonic and anti-God. This agenda of oligarchy and monarchy rule has been planned by Project 2025, the views of Curtis Yarvin, the Claremont Institute, and other extremists for centuries. These extremists not only want revenge for the Biden victory in 2020. They want the progressive blessings (like civil rights, voting rights, environmental protections, conservation, the rights of women, labor rights, the dignity of workers, etc.) to be heavily curtailed or gone. Yarvin is overt to abhor liberal democracy seeking it to eliminate from society. Many of these extremists support Putin who is kidnapping and murdering civilians in Ukraine on a daily basis. Now, we have some fake liberals supporting Putin when Putin is anti-progressive and a murderer. When Trump puppets like Hegseth opposes the view of diversity is our strength, Hegseth forgets that massive diversity caused the Union to win the American Civil War and for the Allied forces to win WWII (filled with courageous men and women of every color to fight for justice). Many ICE agents arresting law abiding citizens and undocumented immigrants in many cases without due process is ignored by MAGA followers. What is going on is also the stripping away of legal protections for legal migrants, even those who have asylum, the harassment of universities in trying to make them accept Trump's views (against the freedom of speech), and Trump wanting to rid of mail in voting. This is fascism, but once against many people ignore this evil. This traitor in the White House, who said perverted comments about his own daughter, pardoned January 6th terrorist insurrectionists, and habitually lies, is the greatest deception of the 21st century. We have to stand up for truth, justice, and democracy for real.


There is certainly a constitutional crisis in Texas and all over America. Once again, many Republicans in the Texas state legislature have gone over the line into fascism. Texas House Democrats have returned to Texas after resisting the GOP Texas redistricting plan that wants to create policies that strip away representation from black and brown residents in Texas. Republican leaders wanted Democrats who came back to the state legislature building to sign off on a law enforcement escort under the guise of "arrest warrants" before they would be allowed to go home after Monday's sessions. This act is unnecessary as people have the right to peaceful protest unjust policies. Texas authorities issued warrants after the GOP legislature tried to pass policies that tear up districts to strip away voters who are more Democratic. One person refused to do this who is State Rep. Nicole Collier of Fort Worth. So, the GOP locked her in the Austin statehouse until the House reconvenes on Wednesday morning. So, the Texas redistricting plans goes to the full House, the full Senate, and Democrats plan on going to the courts.


There are the descendants of my 3rd cousin Daisy Artis (b. 1890). She was born in Virginia. She married Ernest Taylor (b. 1890) on March 1, 1913 at Sussex, Virginia. Sussex is in Hampton Roads, Virginia near Suffolk. Their children are Lee Lawrence Taylor (1916-1975) and Eutelia Purham (1926-2006). Lee Lawrence Taylor first married Mattie Granderson (b. 1916) on December 19, 1936 at Sussex, Virginia. Their children are James Taylor (1937-1937), Ruth Marie Taylor (b. 1939), Mary Rebecca Taylor (b. 1940), and Barbara Ann Taylor (b. 1942). Ruth Marie Taylor married Herbert Jones, and one of their children was Larry Darnell Jones (1954-2022). Lee Lawrence Taylor later married Thelma Seapy on June 21, 1952. Larry Darnell Jones married Constance Diane Gee (b. 1958) on May 14, 1983, at Prince George, Virginia. Their children are Antoine Darnell, Erica Taylor, Herbert Lamont, and Lashawnda Mone. Their grandchildren are Eric Taylor, Tianna Jones, Kinnedy and Kassidy Clayton, McKenzie, Madison and M'Kayla Jones.

The daughter of Daisy Artis and Ernest Taylor is Eutelia Parham. Eutelia Parham married Samuel Parham Sr. (b. 1921) on November 28, 1942 at Prince George, Virginia. That location is near Petersburg. Their children are Waverly L. Parham (b. 1948), Rojean H. Parham (b. 1948), Annanist Parham (1955-2007), Red Parham, Timothy Parham, Sam Parham Jr., and Daisy Uzzle. Daisy Artis's father was William Walter Artis (b. 1892). The mother of Walter Artis (1862) was Indiana Bozeman Crocker (1831-1896). The parents of Indiana Bozeman Crocker were Thomas Crocker (1810-1877) and Patsy Williams Crocker (1810-1870). The parents of Patsy Williams Crocker were Burwell Williams and Winifred-Woodson Bozeman (b. 1791). The parents of Winifred Woodson-Bozeman were Nancy Woodson (1760-1808) and Micajah Woodson (d. 1823). Nancy Woodson was my 7th great grandmother.


In the end, victory is ours. We don't live in typical times. We have an elite-favored economy that benefit mostly the super rich who are worth billions and billions of dollars of money, equity, real estate, and other forms of economic resources, beyond just liquid capital. We know about the epidemic of corporate greed being promoted by many of the most powerful corporations in the world. That is why monopolizes persists to this day. Still, there is a remnant of people in the world who desire no fanfare, no ego boosts, and no massive praise. They are the regular workers in a job providing for his or her family. They are protesters who are peacefully disagreeing with a madman who seeks unlimited immunity for his wickedness. They are the parents caring for the children teaching them about ethics, tolerance, and human equality. Many of them are demanding GOP politicians to be honest about the dangerous high tariffs or be transparent about the Epstein issue. These people are human beings of every color who struggle to pay groceries, pay health care costs, and seek relief in a fragile economic situation. These people don't follow propaganda, and they are heavily unsung seeking the light at the end of the tunnel. So, at the very end, truth will remain and prevail over evil. Good is always superior to evil in all ways, and we do best when we act in righteousness.
