Today, there is a strike of thousands of nearly 50,000 autoworkers. This is historic as for years, many workers in the auto field have been exploited, cut of their benefits, and they desire a change after witnessing corporate giants receiving record profits and bonuses. Many companies have received billions of dollars of yearly profits. The striking workers are heavily from GM at Detroit. They desire jobs, benefits (like health care), and personal security economically. These workers are part of the class struggle to confront poverty, social inequality, and job losses. Many jobs in America have been lost involving factories and automobile plants. Also, it is important to reiterate that workers worldwide suffer exploitation too. This is an international problem in essence. The UAW has called for the strikes. Many leaders of the UAW are accused of corruption. Workers have strikes in Michigan and Ohio. I do believe in labor rights and the right to strike. The workers must be part of the decision making process of any occupation. These strikers are courageous in their convictions and actions. Nearly 50 GM factories are shut down now. Therefore, the striking workers and all workers in general deserve economic justice. Also, those who work or those who don't should have equality, liberty, and justice as well.

Today, foreign policy news are ever real. There were drone strikes on key oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. The Yemen Houthi fighters are held as responsible for these actions. Yemen is a poor nation filled with civil war. Iran backs the Houthi rebels while Saudi Arabia is against the rebels. Many Americans including progressives globally want the war in Yemen to end. The oil attack has caused concerns of rising oil prices, since Saudi Arabia exports much of the world's oil supply. The Saudi owned Aramco oil company stopped production at the facilities. Trump has blamed Iran for the strikes, and he said that he is locked and loaded. That is a provocation of a militaristic response. Mike Pompeo or the U.S. Secretary of States blamed Iran for the attacks too.

Saudi Arabia and the U.S. are allies, so they are in unison in promoting tension against the majority Shia nation of Iran. At the end of the day, Saudi Arabia doesn't want Iran to have more influence in the Middle East. Far right senator Lindsey Graham wanted a more aggressive response against Iran now. Saudi war crimes in their air strikes of Yemeni towns and cities have been omitted by many in the corporate media. What we want isn't some new war. Iran isn't Iraq. Iran has a stronger air force, navy, and army than Iraq. What we need is strong negotiation to promote a peaceful resolution. After Trump ended the Iranian nuclear deal, these tensions immediately arise. We want a peaceful end to this situation. It won't be easy, but that is better than war.

The former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski testified before the House Judiciary Committee in the panel's first official impeachment hearing. He admitted under oath that he lied to the American people about his actions. He stonewalled on discussions with the former Attorney General Sessions. Corey also refused to answer key questions about potential obstruction by Trump, and he argued with Democrats asking him important questions. Corey admitted that he had private talks with Trump about pressuring Sessions to curtail the Russia investigation in 2017. Corey cited a letter about Trump not wanting him to talk about their talks. Corey wants to acquiesce to the Trump's agenda. Lewandowski echoed the Trump's sentiments to promote his political agenda in New Hampshire. Trump has obviously done obstruction of justice on many counts. Corey said that he has no obligation to be honest with the media, which confirms that he is a liar. So, the Trump administration and his allies are some of the most deceptive people in American history.


Many decades ago, four little girls were murdered by a bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. These girls' names are Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Carol Denise McNair. These girls just wanted to worship God as they saw fit in a church. Yet, a coward ended their lives physically. The murderer didn't crush their souls spiritually. Their lives represented the dignity and the honor of our people. This happened in 1963 which was a life changing year of the Civil Rights Movement. It was the time of Medgar Evers' assassination, of the March on Washington, of the Birmingham movement, and of other events. After the deaths of the four little girls, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. expressed a sermon that not only blamed the racists for the murder but those complacent with the status quo for it too. The lesson is that these four girls didn't die in vain. We have a rise in hate crimes since that male was placed into office back in 2017. We have new activists fighting for social change. Therefore, we are in the right side of history, and we believe in defending the liberties of human life. The story of the four little girls should always motivate us that we do this not only for ourselves. We do this for our ancestors, for the Creator, and for future generations in order for the Dream to transpire triumphantly.
