There are a lot of news going on today. Right now, Congress hasn't come up with a deal to extend federal unemployment benefits. As many as 30 million Americans are in the balance. Congress has a paradox. We elect Congressional people into office, but the disproportionate amount of them are millionaires. Right now, millions of Americans struggle to pay rent if a deal is not commenced. Some are now homeless. Millions could struggle to find sufficient food, health care, and medical care. We have a nationwide coronavirus pandemic. It is so bad that many obituaries from the families of the victim outright blame Trump for their loved ones' deaths. There are overt disagreements with the Task force dealing with the crisis and trump himself. Trump implying to want to delay the election has been criticized by Democrats and even Republicans. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have continued negotiations on the outline of a new bill. American billionaires have gained $565 billion over the past four months. That money is enough to finance supplemental benefits until March of 2021. We have a situation of crisis and recession in American society today like the one in 2009. A piecemeal approach will not cut it, but only a revolutionary change will be sufficient to enact justice for all.
Many people have been deceived or brainwashed to assume that Donald Trump represents holiness or true Christian values. Now, we know the truth. Him holding a Bible next to a church called St. John's Church (at D.C.) after he supported police forces using force unjustly against peaceful protesters is wrong. Trump has glorified vulgarity, been caught in financial corruption involving his university and other businesses, mocks women who disagrees with him in slurs, and is a habitual liar. While believers in God ask God for forgiveness, Trump has admitted in public that he doesn't ask God for forgiveness. He mocks the communion (which symbolically remembers what Yeshua HaMashiach or Jesus Christ did on the Cross) as a "little wine " and a "little cracker."
At a townhall meeting with Sean Hannity on June 25, 2020, Trump said that he's a perfect person. We know that no human on this Earth is perfect. Trump has allowed a policy that ripped children from their mothers to be placed in cages without blankets, soap, or toothpaste. The OT is clear to promote compassion for the sojourner (or the immigrant). On foreign policy, Trump endorses authoritarian people and loves waterboarding (which is torture). He is certainly racist by calling black people low IQ and using slurs to describe majority black nations. He called a wicked pro-Nixon supporter Roger Stone a good friend, when Stone recently called a black man "a negro" when the black man disagreed with Stone in an interview. On February 22, 1990, Trump said that he doesn't think that adultery is a sin (as reported in the NY Post). The lie of Qanon is that Trump is against the Deep State, but his cabinet alone have ties to Goldman Sachs, Wall Street banks, and rich lobbyists. While racial, economic, social, and climate crisis exist in America, he plays golf on the weekends in Northern Virginia. Over 150,000 Americans have died from the virus. There is always remnant of people who knows the truth. That is why many establishment religious folks (including those who made racist remarks like Jerry Falwell Jr.) are deceived, and grassroots religious people see the truth for what it is. Trump's story is a lesson that righteousness is important to follow, and justice for all must be advanced. My genealogical research hasn't stopped. I like acting like a griot. My late cousin named John Quincy Adams Scott was born in 1897. His mother was Roberta Hill. His grandfather was Tom Hill. His grandmother was Sarah Claud, and his great grandmother was Zilphy Claud (or my 5th great grandmother). John Quincy Adams Scott also was a World War I veteran. One record showed that he traveled from Courtland, Virginia to NYC to go on the ship Minnekahda to travel to Europe. He was part of the Co A 548th Engineers as a Private. He came back to America from Brest, France to Newport News, Virginia on June 26, 1919. The ship he came back on was called KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN.
Many people are talking about the Jonathan Swan interview with Donald Trump. Swam is a reporter from Axios. Trump's disturbing, deceptive words outline a reflection of his Presidency. The words from Trump in the interview represent the blueprint of the ideologies of far right extremists. Trump negated any responsibility for his terrible response to the coronavirus When confronted with the fact of the virus causing a high level of the deaths of Americans, Trump said it is what it is. Very callous is an understatement to describe that statement. Trump said that some people said that too much testing for a coronavirus when that isn't the case. Trump made overtly disrespectful comments about John Lewis. Trump doesn't believe that Lewis is impressive, because Lewis didn't come to his inauguration back in 2017. Trump made up the racist lie that he has done more black Americans than anybody. The common myth of Western society is that anti-black terrorism and anti-black racism don't exist. We find a recent story of Brittany Gilliam being a victim of police injustice in Aurora, Colorado. The police handcuffed her unjustly including young black children for the false allegation of being in a stolen vehicle. These human beings clearly didn't fit the description of criminals, but we have a serious problem of bias when some folks view black people as guilty until proven innocent. Gilliam's family has filed a suit against the police department, so policies can change. That is why not only new laws must exist to protect the lives of black Americans. The whole structure of society must change along with black people receiving reparations are in order.
John Lewis was an iconic hero who sacrificed his life for our people. The civil rights leader John Lewis contributed to the existence of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and other laws that helped the lives of millions of Americans profoundly. John Lewis risked his life for his unconditional love for democracy. For the record, John Lewis's story and legacy are always impressive. He has more courage than Trump, the far right extremists, and haters combined. Trump falsely claimed that the U.S. is the only country that has birthright citizenship. Over 150,000 Americans has passed away from the virus, but Trump refuses to outline a cogent national strategy to address this pandemic. Trump's reckless statements, incompetent policies, and extremist rhetoric makes the choice clear that Trump must be voted out of office on November of 2020.
