New Political Realities.

 

President Biden designated a national monument honoring Emmett Till and his mother (whose name is Mamie Elizabeth Till-Mobley). These monuments will be in Chicago and Mississippi. Emmett Till was an innocent child who was unjustly murdered by racist terrorists in Mississippi. Her heroic mother wanted his casket to be shown to the public, because she wanted the world to witness what cowardly murderers did to her son. Emmett Till was from Chicago and visited relatives in Mississippi. Vice President Kamala Harris gave passionate words about how some reactionaries desire to even suppress black history in Florida (and in other places of America) and how the Florida curriculum promoted the lie that slavery caused skill benefits for black people (when black people in Africa were scholars and great workers long before the Maafa existed. For some in FOX to defend this racist view is typical of FOX News). President Biden gave his words to acknowledge the pain of the Till family and express inspiration to fight back against racism and all other forms of bigotry plaguing the world. Regardless of what a liar like MAGA extremists say, we will not back down. We will show real black history, and we desire justice for all without delay.


The Washington Post reported that Mark Meadows joked about Trump's claims of a stolen election in a text exchange. Meadows gave testimony to the grand jury involving the January 6th insurrection. The question is whether Meadows wants to leave Trump and work with the prosecutors or not. The prosecutors right now obtained an extensive collection of Meadows's text messages and emails. The Department of Justice is still investigating Trump and others on multiple issues. He or Trump faces 2 possible more indictments by the DOJ and the Georgia State attorney Fani Willis. At the end of the day, you have extremists in the world who want to dismantle democracy and the rule of law. Former NYPD Commissioner Kerik has handed over documents to Special Counsel Jack Smith. Therefore, Trump should experience accountability, because he tried to end a legal 2020 election plus other acts that violate the concept of justice. Now, we know that the disgraced Rudy Giuliani conceded that he made false claims about innocent Georgia election workers. 


The Israeli Parliament debated on the issue of judicial oversight. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the most far right Israeli leader in Israeli history, so that is why tons of Israeli protesters in Tel Aviv don't want the judicial overhaul to exist as threatening democratic norms. Netanyahu wants to preserve his power as long as he can, as his power is limited. He wants to strip the Israeli Supreme Court of some abilities to block governmental actions. Today, the Parliaments did strip certain powers of the Israeli Supreme Court. During the 21st century, in our world, we have the fight of authoritarianism vs. democracy. Worldwide, we have to look closely at these events, because we don't want any leader to have too much authoritarian, centralized control. Democracy is very fragile, and you have to fight for it in order to keep it. That is the precise lesson of history. Netanyahu claims that his reform proposal will establish more balance among the courts, lawmakers, and the government. Opponents believe that the plain is a coup that could turn Israel into a dictatorship by ending checks on governmental actions.




The Special Counsel's office has interviewed the ex-DOJ official about the circumstances of the January 6th, 2021 insurrection. The ex-DOJ official is Richard Donoghue. Donoghue said that Trump made up false statements about the 2020 election, and he constantly had to correct him. Richard Donoghue has extensive legal experience in the city of New York City. Donoghue also wanted people to follow what Bill Barr's orders would entail. The FBI investigated the false allegations of voter fraud. Donoghue said that he resisted pressure from Trump to help overturn the 2020 election. Donoghue was in the White House with firsthand knowledge about the end of the Trump White House. It seems like many officials linked to the Trump administration are testifying to save themselves from legal indictments. Jack Smith continues to lead the federal investigation, and Trump may face at least 2 future indictments by Jack Smith and attorney Fanni Willis of Georgia.


The DOJ is suing the state of Texas over Governor Abbot putting buoys in the water on the U.S./Mexican border. The DOJ accused the buoys at the border as inhumane which is accurate. These buoys have harmed many human beings. We know about how these buoys could potentially violate of the treaties between America and Mexico. The buoys impede the flow of water and can cause environmental damage. Therefore, Governor Abbot is saying that he will fight an appeal to the Supreme Court which shows his political grandstanding. Abbot has no legal right to have the buoy barrier and razor wire fencing without explicit written permission from the federal government. Therefore, extremists don't want a real solution to immigration issues. They want xenophobia and scapegoating to be the order of the day. Migrants never invented Jim Crow, the prison industrial complex, the War on Drugs, or the existence of the system of racism in the modern age. The reality is that the real contributors to the situation ultimately are select corporate power who exploit human beings in America and overseas for the sake of profit instead of compassion. The solution to this situation is comprehensive immigration solutions that deals with all parts of immigration (and working with other nations to improve socio-political conditions in other countries that can lower the largest mass migration of persons worldwide since the end of the Second World War).
