The Senate Impeachment Trial of Donald Trump.

The Senate is having the impeachment trial. This involved Donald Trump being very historic. Any trial should evidence, exist with transparency, and be very comprehensive. Mitch McConnell has made it his duty to restrict witnesses and limit evidence. He has admitted that he lacks impartiality, which is antithetical to what a real legal proceeding ought to be like. The Senate should never be obstructed on knowing the events of the Ukraine scandal. Adam Schiff gave a compelling case about the corruption found in the Trump administration. Schumer and others want White House documents to be placed as evidence. The Supreme Court Justice John Roberts presides over the Senate impeachment trial. Other experts have spoke on this day like Val Demings. The impeachment of Bill Clinton trial took place in 1999 when I was in high school as a sophomore. McConnell wants each side to get 24 hours to give their opening arguments over three days. He wants the trial to end in about a week and a half. Republican Senator Susan Collins from Maine has hinted that she wanted a motion on witnesses. Schumer failed to pass his motion to subpoenaed documents from the White House or from the Defense Department. One Trump lawyer named Philbin said that the Democrats are afraid that they don't have sufficient evidence to convict Trump. Rules on how the trial will exist continue to exist. It is also important to note the important issue of housing in the 21st century. We witness capitalists would use people with guns to remove the homeless in many cases.

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are once again in the news. Hillary Clinton said that nobody likes Bernie Sanders, nobody wants to work with him, and he got nothing done. It is one thing to disagree with Bernie on issues. I disagree with Bernie Sanders on his refusal to support reparations for black Americans and his economic nationalism (instead of advancing international cooperation among workers worldwide). Yet, Bernie Sanders is liked by many people, he is right on tons of issues, and he has gotten work done on many issues. Bernie Sanders has promoted a multiracial populist movement that scholars will write about decades and centuries into the future. So, Hillary Clinton is angry that Bernie Sanders is in the race. The acts of sexism done by some Bernie Bros. against Hillary Clinton is wrong and evil. That should be made known. The sexist attacks on Hillary Clinton done by anyone are wrong. Likewise, it is a fact that Sanders is more progressive on some issues than Hillary Clinton. There is no question that many folks have shown smears against Bernie Sanders for decades. The Democratic Party establishment (which is funded by CIA and Wall Street banking interests) never liked or respected Bernie Sanders even when he had his 2016 Presidential campaign.

It's a fact that many people have disdain for Bernie Sanders because of personal issues beyond just political disagreements like members of the DNC, some in the corporate media (we know who they are from many in FOX News to some in MSNBC. The New York Times is clear who they support. They love realism instead of justice. These are some of the same people that defend Western imperialism in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other places of the world), and others who want a token neoliberal moderate to be the Democratic candidate. That is why Bloomberg is promoted in commercials. That is why Biden is praised by many in the media. That is why some in the corporate media care more for the status quo (or piecemeal change that Dr. King condemned rightfully) than true, comprehensive liberation. The whole structure of society must change in order to witness real justice. If Bernie did say what he said to Warren, then he should apologize. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is right to praise the mothers in Oakland fighting for housing rights, and she is the right to said that the many in the left are trying to shift the Democratic Party away from the center. So, the big issue is that we shouldn't place Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders as being perfect gods that should have no criticism. We should keep our focus on the prize in making sure that Trump is voted out of office at November 2020 by any means necessary.

The bad gun extremist rally in Richmond, Virginia is disgraceful. Yet, it is important to note the obvious. Just because we don't deify or worship guns doesn't mean that we hate the Second Amendment. We hate innocent people being murdered by guns. We hate gun violence against people who don't deserve to die. We hate a culture that places the value of a gun higher than the value of human life. That is why I endorse reasonable gun reform legislation from background checks to other gun control measures that are proven to have saved lives in many states like Connecticut. It is hypocritical for some to condemn peaceful, anti-racism, anti-police brutality protests but are being silent on armed people in Richmond with tactical gear complaining about gun rights when their gun rights aren't being violated. Many of the notorious terrorists in America now are known members of the far right, white supremacist movement. For these jokers to do this rally on Dr. King's holiday is disrespectful, because Dr. King never advocated armed men threatening to intimidate people, but Dr. Martin Luther King endorsed peaceful nonviolence.



Cordelia (Candy) Turner was my 4th great aunt. She was born on March 1860 in Virginia. She lived in Southampton County, Virginia near the Nottoway River. The Nottoway River is named after the Nottoway Native American people who lived and continue to live in the state of Virginia. She was a woman with a lot of mysteries. I never knew who she was until recently. She was born during the antebellum era. Her mother was Millie Woodson-Turner (1830-1910), and Millie's husband was a black man named Morefield Hurst (1827-1918). Morefield Hurst and Millie Woodson Turner had a daughter named Susanna Field Hurst (she lived form 1862-1949). Susanna was my 3rd great grandmother. Later, Cordelia Turner married John Henry Wiggins on the date of December 14, 1876 at Southampton County, Virginia. That is where my maternal ancestors came from. Back then, Courtland was called Jerusalem during the old days centuries ago. John Henry Wiggins and Cordelia Turner had many children. There names are William Wiggins (1878-1931), Annie Wiggins (1879-1958), Benjamin Wiggins (1896-1957), and Lula Wiggins (1899-1971). John Henry Wiggins passed away, so Cordelia married again to a man named Marshall Darden on the date of October 2, 1898 at Southampton, County, Virginia. Cordelia was once widowed before she married Marshall Darden. Their children were Caster Darden (1912-?), Rose Darden, and Unis (or Eunice) Darden. One of of Cordelia's children was Benjamin Wiggins (1896-1957). She married a woman named Rosa Darden on March 22, 1923 at Suffolk, Virginia. Their children are Casper Lee Wiggins (1921-1985), Rufus Wiggins (1921-?), Eunice Virginia Wiggins (1925-?), and William Henry Wiggins (1928-2009). My 2nd cousin Eunice Virginia Wiggins had many children like Ronald Casssonva Thomas of Suffolk (1949-2013). Ronald's wife is Barbara and their children are my 4th cousins whose names are: Felicia, Ronald Jr. Ca Shae, Shalonda, and Norman.
