The Eve of the end of the 2026 Midterm Elections.

 

One sad news is that a 15 year old Javits Frimpong, a Ghanaian teenager was murdered on October 29, 2026 while walking to school. 3 teens are sought in the shooting. He was a child viciously bullied by evil people. This event shows the suffering of many black people in full view. It happened in the Bronx, New York City. There are 2 groups of grotesque who are exploiting the death of a child to advance some political agenda. One group of grotesque people are exploiting the death of Javits to promote the lie that a majority of African Americans are teasing or have hatred of African people in America. The other group of grotesque people are using this tragedy to promote Afrophobia and anti-black bigotry against black people who are not black Americans. Both sides are two sides of the same coin of ignorance, self-hatred, and treason to the cause of justice. We want all black people to be free, irrespective of nationality. Anyone who doesn't want all black people to have justice worldwide is a traitor, and I don't care who it is. Some people have more hatred of Africa than anti-black racism. Some people care more for scapegoating black Americans than freedom for all in the African Diaspora. Many people in the Bronx have come together to fight against gun violence and bullying. The mother of Junior Guzman came to support solidarity with the family of Javits too. The mother of Junior Guzman has to deal with her son being murdered viciously by cowardly Trintarios gang members. So, the xenophobes in the ADOS and FBA movement are extremists, divisive, and harbor hatred of the beauty of Africa. The FBA and ADOS movements (promoted by Tariq Nasheed, Tone, Yvette Carnell, and others) are hate cults movements in my opinion. Those who hate on black Americans harbor ignorance and don't know real African American strength and accomplishments. We have different cultures as black people, but we are part of the same black African family. For example, a family in Georgia preserved a song for generations without knowing what its words meant. Researchers eventually discovered that it was a Mende funeral song from Sierra Leone passed down through the family since the era of slavery. In 1997, a descendant in Georgia met a woman in Sierra Leone who knew the same song. They sang it together, reconnecting a cultural tradition that had survived across the Atlantic for centuries. I am a black American from Virginia whose ancestors came from Nigeria, and the Congo/Angola region of Africa too. So, Javits and his family deserves justice 100 percent. 



The King Philip's War resulted in the unjust genocide of many Native American people in New England. This tragic era lasted from 1675 to 1678. This war was a major conflict in New England between English colonists and the indigenous nations, like the Wampanoag, Narragansett, and Nipmuc people. The war was all over Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut plus surrounding areas. The war ended with the large Native American casaulties, displacement, and the destruction of native communities. By 1675, three Wampanoag men were murdered by the English that started the King Philip's War in June of 1675. Native Americans fought back against English colonial expansion and land seizures. By December 1674, English forces (led bym by many people like Josiah Winslow) attack a Narragansett settlement in the Great Swamp Fight, killing hundreds of Native people. By 1676, the fight spreads all over New England. Native villages are completely destroyed and many indigenous people were killed or dispalced. By August 1676, Metacom (King philip) was killed on the 12th in the Mount Hope area of Rhode Island. Resistance by Native Americans continue and the English forces pursue surviving indigenous fighters. By 1678, there was the Treaty of Casco Bay to help end the conflict in parts of the region. The war was devastating to Native Americans. Thousands of indigenous people died in the conflict, Native Americans were stolen of their land, and many indigenous survivors were forced to be slaves, including sent to the Caribbean. Native American communities saw disruption to their traditions, political structures, and way  of life, and the Native Americans experienced massive population loss in New England. So, when we think about Thanksgiving, we should remember the suffering and genocide of Native Americans. There is a distinction between legitimate thanksgiving customs that existed for millennia among human history and the evil European colonialism and genocide of Native American people (which we should never celebrate or glorify at all period). In 1970, indigenous activist Wamsutta (Frank James) gave a speech that inspired the first National Day of Mourning in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1970. 


Some North Carolina lawmakers closing polling sites on some college campuses is a disgrace. Those lawmakers who did this should be voted out and exposed as enemies of democracy. This is why voting matters. Voting is a human right that should be strengthened. Many activists are opposing this evil like Terrence Rouse of North Carolina. There should be early polling sites on all college campuses nationwide. In our time in 2026, we have less voting rights than in 1965 which is a shame. Many people don't know that democracy hangs in the balance, and our rights are being eliminated all of the time in America. 


Right now, over 53 million people have already voted showing how strong our democracy is. Also, our democracy is threatened by Trump's threatening to steal votes, his plans to try to sue states if a Democrat wins, and him bashing mail in voting. Haley Stevens supports GOP MAGA follower Mike Rogers. It is one thing if she disagreed with El-Sayed on some issues but still rejects the agenda of Rogers. Yet, she completely sold out as Rogers is a far-right extremist who has views antithetical to the views of a large percentage of Americans. Stevens' longtime chief of staff and other aides Stevens and Rogers arrived separately at Perfecting Church, a prominent black church in Michigan. Many people from Stevens' political team have resigned. This comes after Stevens wanted El-Sayed to condemn the Rebellion PAC ad that claimed that Israel solely is to blamed for the high costs of groceries, which isn't true (as high prices are caused by tariffs, the war in Iran, bad laws being passed, and other issues). Likewise, the Netayahu regime in Israel is complicit in overt war crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza and in the West Bank. Still, El-Sayed (who has been a victim of racist and Islamophobic attacks which are evil and wrong) should condemn an ad with Tucker Carlson in it. Carlson is a notorious sexist, racist, and extremist. Yet, Rogers promoted blatant Islamophobic rhetoric against Mike Rogers showing that Rogers is not ready for primetime.

End of the Month News.

 

According to cardiologists and other scientists, one of the most dangerous times for the human heart is the first 10 minutes after you wake up. During this time, you lose water through breathing and sweating, blood becomes thicker and more concentrated, and clot risk peaks. Thick blood, high pressure, and there is an immediate blood pressure spike. That is why scholars say drinking one glass of water immediately after waking up can thin the blood. It reduces clot risk within minutes by rehydrating the bloodstream and restoring normal viscosity. This change can improve anyone's cardiovascular health. Drinking water and sitting on the edge of the bed can allow people's bodies to transition. It allows the heart to catch up in just 2 minutes. At the cellular level, better sleep, better food, and exercise can improve the cells of the body. At the end of the day, improving health is a community duty. The cuts of USAID by the Trump regime is abhorrent. The healthcare cuts done by Trump's bill is evil. The EPA cutting legitimate environmental and pollution protections is wrong as well. 


Recently, many people saw a rally in Georgia to promote the Democratic candidates of Keisha Lance Bottoms and Jon Ossoff, along with other candidates. They gave speeches in favor of growing health care, of promoting equality, and believing in the American Dream to benefit all people, not just a few people. We have a long way to go, but the quintessential part of real Americans deal with resiliency. 40,000,000 Americans have already voted early. There has been increases in voting in Michigan, Texas, Maine, Georgia, and all over the nation, even in Kansas. This is a new era of our time. This is more important than the 2022 election. Barack Obama gave a speech in Georgia to say that enough is enough to promote change in American society. We live in very historic times filled with massive tragedies and hope for the future. I feel surreal in living on this Earth for almost 45 years now. I have seen a lot of things, but I will never give up on the true dream on justice for all. Across the nation, the majority of Americans have rejected how the country how been governed by an unfair economy and an authoritarian Presidency. 


Elon Musk has disrespected Robert Reich, but Reich is not backing down. Musk said that Reich should be in prison for laying the groundwork for nationalizing SpaceX. Musk has used ad hominem attacks, but Musk has promoted DOGE which crippled the livelihoods of many Americans. He used millions of dollars in trying to influence elections. We are in so much income inequality that we are witnessing the Second Gilded Age. Many workers have criticized Elon Musk. We will not be intimidated into silence. We will vote for our rights. Trump wants to drop sanctions on Putin's "slush fund." This is another possible concession by Trump to Putin. Not to mention that Donald Trump has made it clear that he wants to interfere with the election to make sure that the GOP has total control of Congress. The good news is that there is large percentage of early voting in American society. 


There are more than 2 million early votes done in Georgia, which is higher than in 2022. In Louisiana, early voting is increased among black voters. This is sign that people are fighting for their voting rights despite redistricting issues and the MAGA movement planning to restrict voting rights. Many people are fighting for their rights, while Trump said in public that he doesn't care about high gas prices. The reality is that most voters are about the economy, gas prices, the Epstein files, affordability, and other issues. The overt corruption of the Trump administration has never been seen in an American Presidency in decades. Trump's foreign policy is completely even more extreme than the neo-conservatives. MAGA followers are hypocrites on immigration, because they whitewash the history of racist colonizers who stole millions of square miles of land via murder, rape, and abuse. Yet, these same hypocrites view immigrants, who voluntarily want to live in America to survive,  in very negative terminology. The vast majority of immigrants are not wicked people who seek to ruin the Earth, but we know many people in the far-right movement who desire the anti-American goals of bashing diversity, ending the social safety net as we know it, promote unjust, illegal wars, etc. Therefore, consistency and human rights always matter. 


Yesterday was the Birthday of Sister Melba Moore, and she is now 81 years old. She is one of the greatest singers of our generation. She is an actress too who was born in Harlem, New York City. Her parents were Gertrude Melba Smith, who was singer professionally known as Bonnie Davis, and Teddy Hill, a big band leader. Moore later moved to Newark, New Jersey. For high school, Moore attended Newark Arts High School, graduating in 1958. In 1970, she earned a B.A. in music from Montclair State College. Moore started her recording career in 1967, releasing music of the song Magic Touch, written by Ted Daryll, which was left unreleased until 1986. In later years, it became a popular track on the Northern soul scene, eventually leading to Moore's performing it live in 2009 at Baltic Soul Weekender 3 in Germany, north of Hamburg. In 1967, she began her performing career as Dionne in the original cast of the musical Hair, along with Ronnie Dyson, Paul Jabara, and Diane Keaton. Moore replaced Keaton in the role of Sheila. She won a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Luteibelle in Purlie, a role she would later reprise in the 1981 television adaptation for Showtime. She made albums like I Got Love and Look What You're Doing to the Man. She worked with actor Clifton Davis in the then-couple's own successful variety television series in 1972. Peach Melba was her R&B album released in 1975. It had the hit of I Am His Lady. She had released more hits in the 1980s like Ready My Lips. Falling, and the duet with Freddie Jackson, A Little Bit More. She was in films like The Fighting Temptations in 2003 with BeyoncĂ© and Cuba Gooding Jr. Her 2016 album Forever Moore was released in 2016. In 2022, Moore performed in Washington, D.C. in Roll On, a gospel musical that originally opened with her in 2006. 

I wish Sister Melba Moore a Great Birthday.

Nearing the end of the Midterms.

 

As for the Israeli election, we want the reactionary Netanyahu to not be in office. We want courageous Israeli and Palestinian leaders to have peace, security, and an end to the atrocities against Palestinians in the West Bank. We want Israeli settlers who assaulted Palestinians, Christians, and other people to be in prison. Also, we know that Hamas is a terrorist organization that murdered Israelis in the October 7 massacre and in other events. Palestinians have every right to their self-determination, and progressive Israeli have the right to live in peaceful coexistence with the people in the Middle East filled with freedom. I realize that many black people live in the Middle East too, and they should have justice without discrimination and without racism as black people suffered those evils by many Israelis and many Arabic Palestinians. Trump desires to start his next act of fascism as he has threatened martial law if Democrats win big during the 2026 midterm elections. More people want Hegseth to be impeached and Linda McMahon to be impeached too. 


We live in a new era of time. The end of the Federalists, the end of the Whigs, and other parties are common place in American history. The MAGA movement is not new. Many of their xenophobic, bigoted views are similar to the views of the Knownothing Party of the 1800s. There is an unprecedented amount of corruption, a minimization of the Epstein files by the Trump administration, and other evils found in the Trump administration. We have to vote like our lives depend on it. We can vote early, vote on Election Day, and vote in favor of democracy, not authoritarianism. Hegseth with lax qualifications have some nerve to bash diversity when America is a heterogenous, diverse multiracial country. People of diverse cultural identities strengthen America. These people are found among every color, creed, and background. We want the end of the MAGA movement and that must exist by organizing, voting, and using our power to stand up against injustice. Races in the Senate, House, and governorships are very important. We are dealing with high grocery prices, high gasoline prices, and people working 2 or 3 jobs to afford their homes or apartments. Our government should be made up of the people in a democratic republic with a representative government among three co-equal branches of government (without a unitary executive system as MAGA advocates). MAGA's greed and corruption is real, and many of their members are allied with war criminals like Putin and authoritarians like Xi and Kim Jong Il. When you have Kansas possibly having a Democratic Senator like Adam Hamilton, then you know that times have changed.


It is important to realize that your journey is your journey. You should always be clear to promote your goals, celebrate others, be humble, and always realize that you have the right to be on your grind to improve your life. Involving health, plaque can build up in blood vessels. Heat can open up our blood vessels and trigger the artery lining to release nitric oxide, the molecule that keeps your arteries relaxed and flexible. Finnish research found that people who uses the sauna 4 times a week had lower rates of heart disease than once a week users. NOP training releases nitric oxide too that can relax arteries and trains them to widen. The full effect is done by 2.5 hours a week. Heart disease can be silent since it builds up over decades. It deals with chronic inflammation, cholesterol and calcium starts to deposit, arteries narrow, plaque ruptures, blood clots form, and chest pain existed which could mean that arteries are 70 to 90 percent blocked. That is why people who want to improve their health need to walk, do cardio, and use strength training. Never trust those who bash either cardio or strength training. Both are necessary to get 150 minutes a week (along getting 7-9 hours of sleep a day). Cardio improves the heart muscle and lowers blood pressure. Strength training reduces visceral fat and improves insulin sensitivity. We have to reduce stress that can damage arterial walls and increases blood clotting. 


The campaign of Abdul El-Sayed has been through many attacks from Mike Rogers and the Trump movement. I don't believe El-Sayed is a person who wants to form a theocratic state to harm the rights of Christians and other non-Muslims as many Islamophobes claims. Yet, he has made some mistakes, like appearing with Hasan Piker who made remarks like America deserves 9/11 until he apologized for it. Many American Jewish people have legitimate fears about the growth of anti-Semitism in America. El-Sayed called anti-Semitism a scourge in desiring to address it. Kamala Harris and Barack Obama have endorsed El-Sayed in September and October of 2026, respectively. Mike Rogers promoted the lie that El-Sayed had pledged support to the Muslim Brotherhood and that his campaign is funded by terrorist groups. JD Vance lied and said that El-Sayed supports sharia law. El-Sayed has talked about not accepting PAC donations, supporting Medicare for All, and upholding freedom of religion. He wants to invest in renewable energy. He supports abolishing ICE. Mike Rogers is basically a MAGA supporter and an ally of Trump.


The recent Donald Trump rally in Michigan, when he objectified the body of a black woman (racists view black people as caricatures and negative archetypes, not truly human beings), who is Nicki Minaj (who is ironically not an American citizens, but many MAGA followers dehumanize non-American citizens constantly in offensive ways). Trump talked about her body part in a disgraceful fashion. This is the President of the United States of America saying this nonsense. One thing about Barack Obama was when he was President, he never talked about women or people who he disagreed with in that fashion in public. Trump goes about to lie and claim that the 2020 election was stolen and objectifies human beings plus disrespected a person with a disability in public. So, Trump's character is lower than low. Nicki Minaj should know better than to ally with an anti-Christian like Donald Trump (he admitted that he hated his enemies and doesn't ask God for forgiveness for anything). Pro-Trump puppets like Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, and others should be ashamed of themselves for how the policies of Trump are hurting black people, brown people, and tons of people of every color including the poor. Therefore, this delusion of MAGA is one of the largest cults in human history. Nicki Minaj is not representative of the intelligent, progressive black women who are standing up for freedom and justice against the Trump movement. MAGA is filled with sexists, racists, xenophobes, and far right extremists who are truly anti-American by their ideologies and behavior.

Early History.

 


The Thanksgiving that we know about has a long history. The first Thanksgiving in North America that was recorded was done by Sir Martin Frobisher and his crew in Nunavut in 1578. The Spanish and the French did it in the 16th century. Historian Michael Gannon claimed that St. Petersburg, Florida, was founded with a shared thanksgiving meal on September 8, 1565. By the 1600s, the Protestant Reformation was very strong in Europe. The Roman Catholic Church not only made an error in promoting indulgences, but they refused to eliminate many superstitions like Mary being an Ever-Virgin, the Pope being the Vicar of Christ, purgatory, transubstantiation, and the Rosary. Therefore, the Protestant Reformation spread with its strengthens and weaknesses. The Protestants were right to promote separation of church and state, more grassroots church structures, and translating the Bible into diverse languages so people can have access to the Bible. Many Protestants were in error to maintain many of the false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, some promoted the union of church and state, and some persecuted Baptists and Anabaptists centuries ago. In the UK, there were Pilgrims and Puritans. The Pilgrims were Separatists who wanted to end their relationships with the Church of England as being beyond repair. They came into the Netherlands after fleeing England in fear of religious persecution. They lived in the area for a time and decided to go into America. They traveled on the Mayflower to go into Plymouth County, Massachusetts in 1620. They were smaller in number, working class, less educated, and focused on self-governance via the Mayflower Compact. The Puritans wanted to stay in the Church of England to reform it from Catholic influences. They arrived in America later by 1630 during the Great Migration (when thousands of settlers left the United Kingdom). They founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony around Boston and Salem. The Puritans were larger in number, more educated, and aimed to build a strict model "city on a hill with no religious dissent. 


The Pilgrims came to America in 1620 to seek religious freedom. They had a difficult voyage and landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in December 1620. They created many communities in the area with religious views. They came after a devasting epidemic between 1614 and 1620 when many Patuxet Native Americans died form that epidemic. The harsh winter of 1620-1621 killed half of the Plymouth colonists. 


Many of them nearly starved to death until the Native American people taught them how to fish, how to farm, and how to survive in the environment of New England America. In 1621, the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Native Americans came together to share a harvest feast. It lasted for about three days with food, games, and peace. This was in the Fall. 


 Two Native intermediaries, Samoset and Tisquantum (more commonly known by the diminutive variant Squanto, and the last living member of the Patuxet) came in at the request of Massasoit, leader of the Wampanoag, to negotiate a peace treaty and establish trade relations with the colonists, as both men had some knowledge of English from previous interactions with Europeans, through both trade (Samoset) and a period of enslavement (Squanto).


Massasoit had hoped to establish a mutual protection alliance between the Wampanoag, themselves greatly weakened by the same plague that extirpated the Patuxet, and the better-armed English in their long-running rivalry with the Narragansett, who had largely been spared from the epidemic; the Wampanoag reasoned that, given that the Pilgrims had brought women and children, they had not arrived to wage war against them.


Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to catch eel and grow corn and served as an interpreter for them until he too succumbed to disease a year later. The Wampanoag leader Massasoit also gave food to the colonists when supplies brought from England proved insufficient.


Having brought in a good harvest, the Pilgrims celebrated at Plymouth for three days in the autumn of 1621. The exact time is unknown, but James Baker, a former Plimoth Plantation vice president of research, stated in 1996, "The event occurred between Sept. 21 and Nov. 11, 1621, with the most likely time being around Michaelmas (Sept. 29), the traditional time." Seventeenth-century accounts do not identify this as a day of thanksgiving but rather as a harvest celebration.


The Pilgrim feast was cooked by the four adult Pilgrim women who survived their first winter in the New World (Eleanor Billington, Elizabeth Hopkins, Mary Brewster, and Susanna White), along with young daughters and male and female servants.


According to accounts by Wampanoag descendants, the harvest feast was originally set up for the Pilgrims alone (contrary to the common misconception that the Wampanoag were invited for their help in teaching the pilgrims their agricultural techniques). Part of the harvest celebration involved a demonstration of arms by the colonists, and the Wampanoag, having entered into a mutual protection agreement with the colonists and likely mistaking the celebratory gunfire for an attack by a common enemy, arrived fully armed. The Wampanoag were welcomed to join the celebration, as their farming and hunting techniques had produced much of the bounty for the Pilgrims, and contributed their own foods to the meal.


Most modern imaginings of the celebration promote the idea that every party involved ate solely turkey However, "while the celebrants might well have feasted on wild turkey, the local diet also included fish, eels, shellfish, and a Wampanoag dish called nasaump, which the Pilgrims had adopted: boiled cornmeal mixed with vegetables and meats. There were no potatoes (an indigenous South American food not yet introduced into the global food system) and no pies (because there was no butter, wheat flour, or sugar)." 


On March 22, 1621, the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony signed a peace treaty with Massasoit of the Wampanoags. Bradford surrendered the patent of Plymouth Colony to the freemen in 1640, minus a small reserve of three tracts of land. He served as governor for 11 consecutive years, and was elected to various other terms before his death in 1657.

By the 1630s to the 1700s, relations between settlers and Native Americans became more complicated. There were land disputes, disease and broken agreements that led to conflict. Myles Standish was one man who increased the tensions by using aggressive actions against Native Americans in a brutal fashion. Standish wanted to kill Corbitant, because he wanted to threaten the leadership of Massasoit. Standish's men wounded a man and a woman who weren't Massaiot in a raid in 1621. Standish wasn't finished. He wanted to murder Native Americans perceived to be against his Native allies. 

In April 1622, the vanguard of a new colony arrived in Plymouth. They had been sent by merchant Thomas Weston to establish a new settlement somewhere near Plymouth. The men chose a site on the shore of the Fore River in Weymouth, Massachusetts, about 25 miles (40 km) north of Plymouth, and they called their colony Wessagusset. The settlers of the poorly managed colony infuriated the Massachusett tribe through theft and recklessness. By March 1623, Massasoit had learned that a group of influential Massachusett warriors intended to destroy both the Wessagusset and Plymouth colonies. He warned Plymouth to strike first. One of the colonists of Wessagusset named Phineas Pratt verified that his settlement was in danger. He managed to escape to Plymouth and reported that the colonists in Wessagusset had been repeatedly threatened by the Massachusetts, that the settlement was in a state of constant watchfulness, and that men were dying at their posts from starvation.


Bradford called a public meeting at which the Pilgrims decided to send Standish and a small group of eight, including Hobbamock, to Wessagusset to kill the leaders of the plot. The mission had a personal aspect for Standish. One of the warriors threatening Wessagusset was Wituwamat, a Neponset who had earlier insulted and threatened Standish. Standish arrived at Wessagusset and found that many of the colonists had gone to live with the Massachusetts, and he ordered them to be called back to Wessagusset. Pecksuot was a Massachusett warrior and leader of the group threatening Wessagusset; he came to the settlement with Wituwamat and other warriors the day after Standish's arrival. Standish claimed simply to be in Wessagusset on a trading mission, but Pecksuot said to Hobbamock, "Let him begin when he dare; he shall not take us unawares." Later in the day, Pecksuot approached Standish, looking down on him, and said, "You are a great captain, yet you are but a little man. Though I be no sachem, yet I am of great strength and courage."


The next day, Standish arranged to meet with Pecksuot over a meal in one of Wessagusset's one-room houses. Pecksuot brought Wituwamat, Wituwamat's adolescent brother, and several women. Standish had three men of Plymouth and Hobbamock with him in the house. On an arranged signal, they shut the door of the house and Standish attacked Pecksuot, stabbing him repeatedly with the man's own knife. Wituwamat and the third warrior were also killed. Standish ordered two more Massachusett warriors to be put to death, then went outside the walls of Wessagusset in search of Obtakiest, a sachem of the Massachusett tribe. They soon encountered Obtakiest with a group of warriors, and a skirmish ensued during which Obtakiest escaped.


Having accomplished his mission, Standish returned to Plymouth with Wituwamat's head. The leaders of the plot to destroy the settlements had been killed and the threat removed, but the action had unexpected consequences. The settlement of Wessagusset, which Standish had been trying to protect, was all but abandoned after the incident. Most of the settlers departed for an English fishing post on Monhegan Island. The attack also caused widespread panic among Indian tribes throughout the region. Villages were abandoned and the Pilgrims had difficulty reviving trade for some time.

One major conflict was the King Philip's War (1675-1676). It destroyed many Native American communities.

Political News.

 

Virginia state Senator L. Louise Lucas was charged on October 22, 2026, by federal prosecutors in a five-count indictment accusing her of leading a criminal marijuana and money laundering enterprise called Lucas Enterprise. To be clear, these charges are serious federal charges. Lucas is now 82 years old. She surrendered to authorities to face charges on Thursday. The Justice Department has accused Lucas of these charges. She was charged with a half-dozen other people, including her daughters. She was in a Norfolk, Virginia, courtroom. It is no secret that L. Louise Lucas is a public critic of the authoritarian bigot Donald Trump. Lucas gave a statement that she will not be intimidated or back down. Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel traveled to Norfolk, Virginia for a news conference announcing the charges. Lucas has been a proponent of marijuana legalization in Virginia. Virginia allows the possession of marijuana for adults over 21, but recreational marijuana sales remain unlawful in Virginia. This will end by July 1, 2027. Like always, Lucas has the right to defend herself, and we will see what the truth is along with due process. The Trump administration has charged former FBI Director James Comey over an IG post too.


Some breaking news is that 66 percent of American adults support having a national single-payer health care plan or Medicare for All. This is higher than 53 percent in 2020. Back in the 1990s, talk of single payer health care was taboo in American society. That day is over. The majority of Democrats and Independents support this plan. This was a September 2026 KFF Health Tracking Poll. Back then, private insurance companies have run amok with high prices, secret policies, and human exploitation. These actions have gone on today. That is why we don't need the privatization of health care status quo, because health is a human right, not a privilege for a select group of human beings. The ACA was a step in the right direction back when it was originally created. Yet, we live in a new time when GOP members have cut Medicaid for many people nationwide. We have higher premiums in many locations, and people want change. Regardless if one believes in Medicare for all or not, we need real, revolutionary changes in our health care to make it universal for all people. There must be expanded health care coverage, a system where health care disparities are eliminated, and a program to allow people to fight against health care premium hikes.


The Republican nominee, Vivek Ramaswamy, has been running a $4 million campaign ad for the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial election featuring his Democratic opponent Amy Action's estranged mother, Donna Arthur, which has drawn widespread bipartisan backlash and defense from Vice President J.D. Vance. The ad is wrong because it tries to invoke Amy Action's estranged mother to deny Action's account of her own childhood. There is no justification of the ad from Vivek. Ads should be about comparing and contrasting candidates on the issues, without going on with personal dehumanization of a candidate. The ad called Action, a victim of abuse, a liar. This is beyond sick and shows the desperation of many in the GOP who desire power over principle. The GOP can't run on the economy, on foreign policy, on food assistance (which Trump has cut food assistance and much of the social safety net), and on other important issues. Trump has shown authoritarianism, and Vivek Ramaswamy represents the agenda of hatred, hypocrisy, and extremism that we must oppose completely.


Trump hates a multicultural, diverse America, because he hates America, period. America is filled with people from diverse backgrounds, and that diversity makes this nation stronger.  Some people now want to boycott Hidden Colors 6 as it is promoted by the xenophobic Tariq Nasheed. I agree with them, because it is obvious that ADOS and FBA movements are cultic, anti-black unity movements. There are many reasons for this. Both movements bash Pan-African unity to promote an exclusive delineation for us African Americans. It is a historical fact that black Africans resisted slavery in the revolt at San Miguel de Gualdape in 1526. They claim to support reparations, but they offer no long-term solution on how reparations are to be implemented. I agree with reparations for black Americans, but I don't believe in scapegoating black immigrants as a means in doing so. Also, many members of FBA and ADOS blame black immigrants for the suffering of black Americans, when the cause of black injustice is a systematic structure of injustice from the one percent, not all immigrants. Both groups have many members who are colorists, self-hating (even denying DNA evidence documenting African genetic ancestry), and denigrate Africa constantly in a treasonous fashion. Both groups directly or indirectly accept a near idolization of American society, viewing our ancestors being victims of slavery as an excuse to glory in America in near worship. Not everything in America is evil, but we don't need American imperialism or American colonialism. Both groups promote division among the black African Diaspora, which is a detriment to black empowerment, environmental justice, and other real issues.

Protests in France, Italy, etc.

 

There are massive protests in Europe from France to Italy. Masses of people demonstrated across France. They are protesting against the repression of the high school movement and the rising prices of energy and the cost of living. There were mass arrests of high school students and the injuries inflicted on them by the police. There have been clashes between demonstrators and the police. Some people talked about the destruction of property in France and Italy. I don't agree with the destruction of innocent property, but people have every God given right to peacefully protest for legitimate causes. These protests have erupted in Marseille, France too. There have been up to 550,000 people in France resisting oppression. There have been as high as 110,000 demonstrators in Paris, 35,000 in Montpellier, 32,000 in Toulouse, and 20,000 each in Nantes and Lyon. There are similar strikes in Spain, Belgium, Ireland, and Portugal being against austerity and economic oppression in general. Demonstrators burned down Limoges city Hall, burst into the city halls of Marseille and Lille, and ransacked the residence of the police prefect in Bordeaux. Many of these protesters are called the Yellow Vests who oppose economic inequality. Therefore, you can jail people, but no one can jail truth. The demonstrators seek a real change wherefore their economic rights and human rights are respected without imperialism and without bigotry. 


There have been protests against Modi's government's purge of voter rolls ,and Modi's government is using mass repression. India's Narendra is headed by a far right BJP government. It has failed to completely stop a wave of youth led protests against its purge of millions of rural poor and working-class voters form the electoral rolls. Thousands of people defied the authorities' security crackdown and demonstrated in the heart of New Delhi, India's capital. There is a Generation Z youth protest movement to seek to force the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Dipke and Bora were denied any contact with lawyers, organizations, or families, with the police refusing to confirm where they were being held. Modi and his Hindu supremacist BJP party is against the protest movement's call for ending poverty, fighting for the rights of workers, and ending social inequality. 




The Wall Street Journal reported that Elon Musk was ordered to prevent Ukraine from getting satellite information to defend themselves from Russian invasion. Musk is a bizarre person who is completely allied with the MAGA movement. He is a descendant of many South African oligarchs who desires power and an oligarchy. Musk supported the DOGE movement that crippled millions of jobs and harmed the lives of tons of Americans, especially black women. Black women lost at least 600,000 jobs during the Trump second term alone. That fact alone makes me totally against the agenda of Trump as we are duty bound from God to defend the humanity and dignity of black women as a black human being myself. Musk is a deficit hawk who has harmed the regulatory state and this result we see the wild wild West terms of economic power in America. Trump has given Elon Musk federal contractions and other decision-making powers being impossible just decades ago. Musk and Trump have no shame in their extremism at all. Cuts to USAID has resulted in the deaths of innocent human life too. 


Trump has come out to be even more pro-Putin. He has struck a diesel deal lifting some sanctions against Russia. He has restricted Starshield for Ukraine. He has cut intel warnings of Russian missile launches against Ukraine for several days. He demanded Ukraine to vote out Zelensky. He absolved Russia for helping Iranian attack U.S. soldiers. He has pushed Europe to resume buying Russian gas. More people know about Storm 1516 which is a tentacle of the Russian military intelligence agency GRU, which is active in France and Western Europe. Storm 1516 uses fabricated videos, phony websites, and anonymous influences to so doubt and bend reality. Trump overtly aiding the Kremlin in Russia's illegal war against Ukraine is complete treason in my mind as Putin continues to jail Russian dissidents plus promoted fascist policies.  Ironically, Burnham of the UK has stood up for Ukraine's President Zelensky. This battle between democracy and authoritarians is real. So, we want justice without tyranny.



I don't agree with a gender war propaganda that view all women are evil or all men are irredeemable. Anyone that subscribes to the notion that the opposite sex must always be dehumanized and disrespected forever is an agent. I don't care who does it. Agents are people that I don't support. So, that is why you won't have me using rhetoric in trying to divide men and women. Likewise, there are certain truths that must be acknowledged. One truth is that there is a global epidemic of rape, assault, and abuse of women worldwide. I have looked at the statistics, and the stats show that women suffer abuse, assault, rape, etc. a lot more than men (though many men are victims of these evils too). Some people use the phrase "not all men" as an excuse to minimize the suffering of women, and we can't do that. We have to listen to women, men, and all people who are victims of evils and do something about it. Anyone who hates all black women or all black men is a total agent as the black community is made of black people of many backgrounds. Another truth is that the mansophere (which promotes the lie that men by default must have a superior position in society because we are men) does a disservice to men as it promotes a disgusting version of manhood instead of healthy manhood in our society. Another truth is that boys and girls need encouragement to be their best selves without unfair demonization. It is the truth that many men and women plus all in the human race experience mental health issues and other struggles that merit therapy plus other solutions not shame. At the end of the day, we can give advice, but we can't force people to change. Healing and real change is up for the individual person who wants to heal. Healing doesn't require perfection. It requires a daily process of treating people right, rejecting false stereotypes, and defending the oppressed constantly. We have to acknowledge the humanity of men and women along with other truths in order to change society for the better.
