New Updates.




We are witnessing a new era of the Trump administration. Trump has threatened to issue a national emergency about wanting his wall. Scholars have said that this action will undoubtedly led into a court challenge. Also, the resident in the White House has lied and said that there is a flood of drugs going into America in record levels and that undocumented immigrants are just filled with tons of criminals plus terrorists. This isn't new. For years and decades, we have seen an expansion of the executive branch even impeding on democratic and constitutional rights. After the stolen 2000 election, we witnessed alone the Patriot Act, torture, warrantless surveillance, and other bad policies. Some extremists believe that the government can assassinate U.S. citizens overseas without due process of law, which is wrong. If there is anything that constitutes “high crimes and misdemeanors,” justifying the immediate drawing up of impeachment procedures, it is such a threat to overrule Congress through executive fiat. Trump wants to defy Congress with his threat of calling for a national emergency. Trump is a clear and present danger to democracy. Revolutionary change is not a one nation deal. It ought to manifest itself internationally.

Yesterday was the birthday of a former boxing legend. His name is Brother George Foreman. He was born in Houston, Texas. Later, he won the heavyweight title. He won an Olympic gold medal in 1968. After defeating many opponents, he faced Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali used his skills, experience, strength to defeat George Foreman in Zaire back in 1974. This was the time that Foreman was depressed and didn't know where to go in the future of his life. Later, George Foreman became an ordained preacher. By the late 1980's and the early 1990's, he returned to the win. He won a heavyweight title again being the oldest man to have done so. He proved to the world that he could still box at a professional level at his 40's. He has a loving family and children. His Foreman Grills have been sold worldwide. Community service is embraced by him and his humble spirit has been a blessing to human beings globally. I wish Brother George Foreman more blessings.

Embrace positivity too. We live in one life. Our lives are miracles. The reasons are plenty. One is that we exist with DNA and tons of cells with great uniqueness and creativity. Also, we are created equal and in our value, there is dignity. Not to mention that our ancestors were brave to defeat slavery, defeat Jim Crow, and defeat other evils. In our time, we have the keen responsibility to not only help our communities, but to inspire our people to move forward in a just direction.


The point is that Trump and tons of his supporters are non-empathetic to the suffering of people during this government shutdown. Right now, many people are suffering to make ends meet. You have the Coast Guard not being funded adequately and national museums being closed. Trump has always hated the concept of the separation of powers since he wants the executive branch to rule by fiat in the American government. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and you have many Trump supporters gloating over the suffering of innocent human beings. That is despicable and it shows that Trump supporters are filled with racists, sexists, xenophobes, and people who don't care about common sense. The shutdown is a reflection of the callous, inconsiderate, and offensive stubbornness of that male in the White, Trump. There is no excuse now. Anyone that supports Trump is an enemy of freedom period. Trump supporter Steve King of Iowa praises white supremacy in public and Trump supporters still ally with him. You have people like Steve Bannon spreading hate and xenophobia. You even have some people loving the Confederate flag when that flag is racist and is related to slavery plus injustice. So, the handwriting is on the wall. That is why I will continue to show my information and speak my mind.


No one should be surprised at Steve King. For years, he has made racist comments. His recent racist comment is about how he said that he doesn't believe that the phrase "white supremacist" is offensive. Steve is wrong period. He once said that white nationalism is a legitimate view to follow. He once had a Confederate flag on this desk. Many Republicans support him and voted him into Congress. It is only recently when some Republicans and some conservatives like Ben Shapiro are criticizing him beyond some politicians. Steve King is a racist and a total extremist. Some new updates is that Michael Cohen will testify in Congress in public in the future. This is amazing since it is the first time that he will do such an action. He is a person is that admitted his lies about the election and he accepts his conviction. Once being a Trump ally, he is now an enemy of Trump. Michael Cohen has a lot of testimony that collaborates the research from Robert Mueller about the issue of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. He will go to testify to the House Committee by February of 2019.
