A lot of news involves the Epstein files issue. Lutnick admitted to Congress under oath that he visited Epstein island during a family vacation. Democratic Congressman Ro Khann named six men appearing in the unredacted Epstein files. These unredacted files have been revealed to Congressional leaders only. Ro Khanna named these people who are U.S. businessman Leslie Wexner of Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie and Fitch and Bath and Body Works, Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputa. Khanna said that these men are part of the Epstein class.  Paul Weiss Partners turned on Brad Karp after ties between Karp and Epstein had become too close, according to the New York Times. The firm had access to the emails for years, among Karp. One ex-police chief said that Trump told him in 2006 that everyone knew of Epstein's behavior. Maxwell in a hearing, continued to plead the Fifth Amendment when asked questions about Epstein after she had been a convicted sexual abuser. At the end of the day, we want people responsible for sexual abuse to be brought to justice, irrespective of party.

After all of these years of us living on this Earth (especially people like me who are 40+ years old), one thing remains true. We are proven right once again in 2026. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, people like me were in the trenches to show the truth to the people. Many of us were criticized as "theorists" or "extremists." Now, we have been vindicated about our views from the exposure of some who desire an oligarchy to the propaganda shown by some in the entertainment industry, the MAGA hate-filled movement, etc. There are many facts in the Universe. It is a fact that Jeffrey Epstein and others were complicit in the sexual abuse of girls and women (this abuse is international, not just in America). It is a true fact that the racist Trump promoted a racist image of Barack Obama and Former First Lady Michelle Obama (in a social media video) depicting them as "apes." Trump only removed it after legitimate bipartisan outrage came about against Trump. 

You can agree or disagree with the Obamas all day long, but there is absolutely no excuse for racism against the Obamas period. It is true that many elitists have promoted the new world order, global government, and systems of control over the years and decades (people advocating these goals range from David Rockefeller to Walter Cronkite). There are turncoats and traitors like Alex Jones. I remembered Alex Jones way back in the early 2000s talking about black helicopters, the Skulls and Bones, NSA spying, etc. Yet, when Trump in 2026 has allowed tanks in the streets, allowing ICE to violate the Fourth Amendment rights of U.S. citizens, allowing ICE to assault innocent people, and Trump implementing other blatantly unjust policies from his administration, Alex Jones is silent (as Jones has sold out to Trumpism). Therefore, we should not brag about being right. Instead, we should be more inspired to fight the good fight for justice for all and the truth. A lot of truthseekers have passed away in recent years, including anti-racism scholars, environmental heroes, anti-police brutality leaders, unsung people, and advocates for economic justice. We do what we do in honor of their legacies and for the respect we have for Almighty God, who has blessed us with life, strength, discernment, courage, and common sense to improve our lives and bless the lives of other human beings. The most important thing now is for us to do the research, study, help your neighbors, reject bigotry (including opposing racism, sexism, and xenophobia) and injustice, do the right thing, follow God, and never give up.

I found out about my great-granduncle Paul Seaborn (1894-1973). My mother said that Paul Robeson would tell stories all the time to my family when he arrived in Southampton County, Virginia. Paul Robeson was in the United States Army during the era of WWI. He was a Private part of the Company, 540th Engineers. He came back to America from Marseille, France to Brooklyn, New York City. He came to New York City on June 6, 1919. He lived in Arringdale, Virginia, during that time. His parents were George Seaborn (b. 1862) and Indiana Reese (1866-1946). Paul Seaborn later lived in New Jersey and passed away on February 10, 1973 at Cedar Grove, Essex, New Jersey. He lived in Newark, New Jersey too. He is the father of Mrs. Mattie Cook. He is the brother of Mrs. Lola Turner and Mrs. Hollie Peeples. His granddaughter is Mrs. Anna Jackson. Paul Robeson married Mary Jones on December 29, 1923 at Halifax, North Carolina.
