A 150-year history of the Black political struggle in Mississippi.

 A 150-year history of the Black political struggle in Mississippi

A New Era of Mississippi.

 

Some breaking news is that the Democrat Scott Colom will win the U.S. Senate race in the state of Mississippi. This is very historic as he is the first black man to win a Senate seat in Mississippi since the days of Reconstruction over 100 years ago (Hiram Revels was the first black Senator in Mississippi, who served from 1870-1871). This is a monumental accomplishment, and Scott Colom worked hard in his campaign to appeal to the people of his state. The fundamental point is that this is the new South. Tons of black people decided to vote, including people of the younger and older generation of black Americans, who said that we are not going back to a time wherefore black people were completely restricted of voting rights via Jim Crow discriminatory and racist policiesfrom yesteryear. There has been an increased opposition to the policies of Donald Trump. There has been Colom winning in many red areas of Mississippi of Colom. Colom has put in the work, despite many Democratic establishment figures underestimating him, to talk about real issues like rural hospitals, farms, and other topics that related to the people. Colom even talked to Republican voters. he organized greatly. This is the 55th Democratic Senate seat. 

A news story reports a building collapse in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Eight people have passed away, including 2 kids. According to the FDNY, the three-story building collapsed into a construction site at the corner of Flatbush and Bedford avenues. The Department of Buildings said that the developer had an active permit for excavation and foundation work and has issued a full stop-work order while investigators determine the cause. New Yorkers can help support families and neighbors affected by the building collapse via the mayor's fund. New York City Mayor Mamdani said that he wants a full investigation into the tragic building collapse. This happened on Wednesday at 4pm EST. Ring camera footage shows the collapse. The rescue operations have concluded at the collapse site, and officials said that there are no more victims. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said that he wants to hold anyone responsible fully accountable. A local councilmember and a tenant organizer described past issues with the building's owner. Eighteen human beings have been injured. An investigation is in its infancy stage to figure out what happened in a thorough fashion.

Mississippi is one large epicenter of American culture. The recent victory of Colom being the first black Senator in Mississippi since Reconstruction showed us once again that the South is a leader in civil rights activists and pro-justice efforts. This historic event proves that grassroots organizing matters, and you can't give up on truth. To understand the Mississippi story, we have to learn about Emmitt Till (who was murdered by racist barbarians), Fannie Lou Hamer (who led a voting rights movement, an anti-Vietnam War movement, and an economic justice movement in the 1960s and the 1970s), Medgar Evers, Vernon Dahmer Sr., Louis Allen James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, and unsung heroes who stood up for our freedom back in the day plus today. Mississippi is America, and the imperfections and victories found in Mississippi is reflective of the resiliency of truth. We are inspired to be better human beings and to shine our light. A true American is not based on hating a person based on color or creed. A true American is based on accepting the principles of human equality and justice for all.

One of the most disrespectful and disgraceful acts from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his entourage when they were laughing and talking near the sacred Tomb of the Unknown Solider at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day. Even children know that during that ceremony, you have to stay silent throughout the ceremony. That is why one on-duty Army sentinel broke form the march to tell Hegseth and his colleagues that, "All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!" Many of these MAGA individuals don't care about troops. They have exploited soldiers for political exploitation. This is one of the long amounts of reasons why Pete Hegseth should be impeachment. There is a very good chance that he could be impeached in 2027, because the Democrats control both branches of Congress. 

The White House and the Department of Justice have threatened criminal investigations against incoming Democratic congressional leaders as democrats prepare to take control of both chambers of Congress in January 2027. He wants to stop Democrats from having an oversight investigation of the Trump administration and other matters. White House counsel Will Scharf, in a letter to incoming House Oversight Committee Chair Robert Garcia, said that the Dmeocrats's continued public promises to use new majority to investigate the president and his allies could cross constitutional limits (and even amount to illegal threats). This is nonsense from Scharf, because the Democrats have the legal right to promote congressional investigations into allegations of corruption from the Trump administration. Gracia and his colleagues said that they are not intimidated by the efforts from the Trump White House. We all know that the Trump administration has been used the executive branch as a rubberstamp to try to have universal power involving the Presidency. That is why the Supreme Court in some cases even restricted some of the power of what Trump can do.

Important Truths.

 

There is hypocrisy among some people. Some people legitimately disagree with the oppression against Palestinian people (which is honorable as Palestinian people in the Middle East should have true liberation without occupation and without genocide). Yet, many of these same people are silent on the war crimes of Russia against Ukrainian people (these people suffer civilian homes being destroyed, kidnapping, and other brutal evils). Some of them are silent about Russia bombing Syrian locations and murdering thousands of civilians in the 2010s. They are silent about the genocide of black people in Sudan, they are silent on the slavery against black people in Libya, Mauritania, Yemen by the Houthi terrorists, and in other places of the world. Some of them are silent on the genocide in the Congo and the massive issues in Haiti. Many fake "leftists" never attack Putin, because they think that he is a counterweight against the West, but Putin is not liberal. Putin is a far-right nationalist who jailed dissidents, allowed an illegal war in Ukraine since 2022, and is allied to many MAGA figures, including Donald Trump. One secret in the Middle Eastern history is that the oligarchs in Britian organized division among Jewish people and Arabic people in the Middle East during the early 20th century that caused this current crisis. These same Western oligarchs did the same thing in India and Pakistan. So, we have to see the bigger picture that the one percent promotes conflict and watch the rest of the people have conflict while the one percent makes record profit. We have to reject this Matrix of control and advance real freedom.

Hegseth has faced his first vote on impeachment. The House GOP has blocked the effort to hold Hegseth impeachment vote. The vote showed the unity among GOP to have the status quo instead of real accountability. Hegseth faces more criticisms from Democrats and even some Republicans over many issues. Ironically, the Republican Massie promoted the eight statuses or articles of impeachment. Pete Hegseth lied and said that criticisms of him is part of a political stunt. Pete Hegseth destroyed boats without due process of law, he promoted Confederate monuments, he promoted an illegal war in Iran, and he has gone out of his way to fire qualified black people, women, and other minorities from military positions without just cause. Democrats can push to impeachment Hegseth in January 2027, but they need some Republicans in the Senate to truly impeach Hegseth for real. We see the Republican Jim Jordan to be the next Minority leader. Jordan was a former Freedom Caucus member (the Freedom Caucus is a far right, pro-laissez faire capitalist group).

There is the Nvidia CEO investigated for an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. The CEO will plan to speak to Congress in a hearing. So far, we don't know the complete facts of this controversy. We do know that China has spies globally in seeking hegemonic parity with America and beyond. We know that China has a massive amount of military and technological development, being stronger than Russia now. Yet, China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are notorious allies of each other. China believes in a multipolar war in opposition to much of the interests of the West. Stocks from Nvidia shares lost 4% by Monday over the news of Huang's relationship with the woman believed to be a spy from China according to the U.S. intelligence community. One American member of the military has been arrested by UK authorities over the allegation of supporting Russian intelligence. The oligarchs in the big tech industries can't be trusted by themselves. They need real regulation by a federal agency. Laissez faire policies will never work to defend our nation. 

Massie has introduced 8 impeachment articles against Hegseth. Thomas Massie is ironically a Republican. That tells me that Hegesth has done such a terrible job as Secretary of War that people from across the political spectrum has opposed him. Many Democrats support the policy of impeachment. Hegseth has embarrassed America by attacking diversity, promoting an illegal war in Iran, promoting the murder and war crimes of murdering people in the Caribbean without due process of the law, firing black people plus other minorities including women for no legitimate reason whatsoever, and he defends taxpayer dollars to support racist Confederate monuments in America. Hegseth is a performative MAGA follower who believes in the myth that toxic masculinity defines true manhood. That isn't the case. True manhood is compassion, empathy, protecting the oppressed, and resisting bigotry without apology. Rubio, as usual, defends Hegseth, but Hegseth's legacy is very clear to witness. We need true leaders without common sense and human emotional strength to guide America in the right path of democracy and equality for all. 

Recently, the racists and far rights extremists of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party have admitted that they have close relations to Putin's Kremlin. They said that they have links to the foreign ministry and to the Russian intelligence agencies. It is no secret that MAGA, far right movements in Europe, etc. in many cases agree with Putin's far right nationalist authoritarianism who seeks to violate human rights. Meanwhile, the American people have spoken. They desire justice and an end to the MAGA movement. We know what works to help the American people. The federal minimum wage has to be much higher than $7.25 as no American can survive on that hourly wage, there must be the end to the cuts in the social safety net (in dealing with Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, etc.), there must be an end to the tariff wars with ending unnecessary tariffs, universal Pre-K should be a reality, and end unfair tax loopholes that the super wealthy benefit from.
