One of the wild, messed up events is how many Trump supporters were left in the cold waiting for buses. Many people were hurt, and many people were hospitalized. This mega rallies only put people in risk of catching that virus. Hundreds were left in the cold. Right now, Trump is losing this race. We have 5 days before the end of this election. People are voting now. The difference now and in 2016 is that early voting is breaking records. We witness Texas and Georgia in play. There is no other time when these states were in play since decades ago. The stock market losing almost 1,000 points today recognizes what time we're in. That is why component leadership is always a prerequisite to a better nation. In Trump's term, manufacturing jobs in Ohio, North Carolina, and Minnesota have declined in over 188,000, while Trump had Obama has an increase of 126,000 in those 3 states. The country is very much divided ideologically. The GOP and Mitch McConnell has blocked a stimulus when most Americans want it.
Just yesterday, the FBI raided another neo-Nazi camp in Michigan. We know more of the national links of the Whimter plotters. Fascism didn't end in 1945. We are still fighting the same Nazis that our ancestors have fought. Many of our ancestors were WWII veterans like my ancestors. The FBI made 2 raids on Thursday. They arrested Justen Watkins and Alfred Gorman. They are leaders of the neo-Nazi group called The Base. Watkins was arrested at a farm in the town of Bad Axe. This was where members of the Base used training and promoted hatred. They are charged with threatening to murder a left wing blogger in late 2019. Watkins wrote an anti-Semitic screed in promoting violence. That is why I always say that hatred of Jewish people is more than wrong. It is demonic and satanic. It is also no secret that many local police and sheriffs departments are filled with white racists and pro-Neo Nazi people. Trump said the evil words that the plot against Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer was maybe not a problem. That truth is that this is a serious problem. Many of these far right militias have links to border militia groups that harass immigrants on the border. Christopher Hill is another enemy who is part of that wicked far right militia movement. Many of these people love the Confederate flag and love Trump. These people aren't patriots. They are terrorists plain and simple.
One of the most important news of the day is about how the SARS security forces have used live ammunition against the nationwide anti-police brutality protesters. It killed at least 56 people and injured hundreds more across America. The President of Nigeria is Muhammadu Buhari. 56 people are dead across the nation according to Amnesty International. Security forces are known to use excessive force in an attempt to control or stop the protests. Buhari has refused to call on the security forces to stop their injustice. Buhari is influenced by the oligarchs who control Nigeria's vast oil wealth. This wealth doesn't readily go to the Nigerian people collectively. Nearly half of the 206 million population in Nigeria live on less than $1.50 a day. About one third are unemployed. The end SARS protests are global. The Special Anti-Robbery Squad killed one young man. SARS is known for kidnapping, extortion, torture, and killing of young people. The government wanting to replace SARS with SWAT has only caused more protests. So, this is also a class conflict among the oppressed among the poor and the super rich. It is no secret that class stratification is ever real in the globe. So, Buhari is serving the interests of U.S. and European banks plus transnational energy corporations like Agrip, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell, Total S.A., etc. The working class of Nigeria deserves justice not repression.
Sherrilyn Ifill and others of the Legal Defense Fund have filed suit today against President Trump and the Secretary of Labor challenging the Executive Order banning federal contractors and employees from talking about racism in an accurate fashion. They want to rightfully end the Executive Order 13950. One black man was shot and killed in Philadelphia, and protesters are there. Protesters have happened. Also, the GOP wants to limit the extension of early voting in Pennsylvania. So, we see this war on our voting rights in clear view. Trump said to suburban women that he is getting their husbands back to work. I expect this trashy comment to exist in the 1950's, but Trump shows how much he hates women by that comment. Lil Wayne supporting a racist, sexist like Trump doesn't shock me. Lil Wayne is a rapper known for lying saying that he never experienced real racism. His music has been filled with misogyny and colorism (which is a sick agenda that props up women based upon a lighter skin complexion when all black people of any shade are created equal and should be treated the same). The Platinum Plan isn't just superior to the Biden/Harris plan for black Americans. The Platinum Plan is a corporate fraud. Trump allowed Sessons to make marijuana the cause of longer sentences. Trump is not for criminal justice reform like that. The First Step Act was heavily promoted by Democrats in the House. Even the money sent by Trump during this pandemic is not sent massively to black businesses.
Ice Cube said that he turned down a group Zoom call with Kamala Harris, because he didn't think it would be productive. That's hypocrisy, because he has no problem trying to communicate with Trump when Trump is much more wicked than Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris never called Mexican undocumented immigrants rapists and murderers. Harris never said that neo-Confederates were good people during the Charlottesville tragedy back in 2017. Kamala never praised Andrew Jackson and Confederates like Robert Lee. Kamala Harris never a called black women leaders dogs, low IQ, and said go back to where you came from (which Trump has done). So, Kamala Harris is much more progressive and intelligent than Donald Trump on any level. Cube has the gall and the nerve to once have said that I never have dinner with the President to loving capitalist exploitation plus compromise with one of the most racist Presidents in American history. Kamala Harris reached out to Ice Cube too, but Trump never reached out to him. Ice Cube's Contract with America plan doesn't address health care, capitalist exploitation, imperialism, needs of black women specifically (from maternal leave to other health issues), and other important issues. Therefore, I already voted in Virginia. I din't vote for Trump. I voted against McConnell's rejection of a recovery program. I voted for equality, an end to institutional racism, and for democracy.
