New Developments.

 


Kevin McCarthy wants an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden. McCarthy is afraid of GOP extremists which is why he is doing this action. Gaetz, who is a Trump supporting extremist, has wanted a motion to desire McCarthy to vacate the House floor if he doesn't follow his wishes. This call from McCarthy shows his cowardice and extremism. He believes in the myth that capitalism deserves nearly no regulations and massive cuts can drive up the economy. Yet, Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Dr. King, and others have taught all of us that government investments, fair economic policies, and a strong social safety net will go a long way in improving our economy, decreasing income inequality, and making the community vibrant in our modern day, complex society. President Biden has done nothing to merit an impeachment inquiry (the GOP members are exploiting the mistakes of Biden's son to be falsely placed on Biden), but MAGA extremists have made it their quest to try to destroy the progressive benefits that we have enjoyed for more than 60 years from Social Security to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Now, we have a possible government shutdown coming by October 1, 2023, if nothing is done.


Trump wants the Judge Tanya Chutkan to rescue herself in the case involving the January 6th Capitol insurrection. This is a desperate move on Trump's part, because he knows that he might very well go into prison if Biden wins re-election in 2024. He is jealous of qualified, capable, and very intelligent black women like Tany Chutkan and Fani Willis. Trump has promoted the lie that the judge is biased against him when Judge Tanya Chutkan has been very fair in her judicial duties surrounding this case. Many federal judges have suggested that Trump might have culpability for the Capitol attack during court hearings. The recusal motion is not unusual in high profile cases, but they are denied in many instances like many times. Guiliani said that Trump is angry over the rightful conviction of White House Trump supporter Navarro. Navarro wanted to reject a legal subpoena, and now he is facing accountability for his actions. Navarro made the lie that he is persecuted legally, but his punishment is fair and just. Navarro may blame Congressional leaders, but he is not above the law. In terms of the law, no one should be shown special privilege. He doesn't deserve special treatment based on his politics or zip code.


Trump's bid to use the Supreme Court to help overturn the election is missing from the indictments. Putin wants Trump to win a second term, because he is against real democracy in the world. Putin bans certain religious freedom. He has locked up dissident protesters, he has promoted authoritarian policies, and he has been instrumental in committing overt war crimes against Ukrainian civilians (which many far right extremists and fake leftists either ignore or condone). Now, the Russian government is spreading confidential information about the Atlanta trial over the web. Russia has meddled in the U.S. election. Ukrainian forces advance south towards Tokmak on the road to Sea of Azov. GOP members Tuberville wants no U.S. chain of command for political reasons and Majorie Taylor Greene wants the impeachment of Biden defunding of the DOJ, no COVID vaccine or masks, and a betrayal of Ukraine to appease Putin.


Days ago on September 11, 2023, we commemorate the day in solemn terms. Almost 3,000 people died by cowards who used planes as weapons and questions remain about all that took place on that day. America was viciously attacked by terrorists in the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and in Pennsylvania. Heroes from firefighters, law enforcement, and volunteers in the street helped to save lives, give aid to the suffering, and inspire a nation that unjust murder will not eliminate the democracy that our ancestors built. My ancestors were involved in the Union in the American Civil War liberating people, involved in Normandy during WWII in real life defeating Nazi fascism (and in other parts of WWII), and in other arenas of lives assisting the human family. Neo-conservatives for decades from Brzezinski to others wanted to gain the resources of Eurasia and the Middle East. The Afghanistan War and the Iraq War came about after 9/11. 

9/11 saw a new era in our history with the Patriot Act, more militarized police, debates on civil liberties, and more activists (among every background in the human family) standing up for what is right too. Today, many of the heroes on 9/11 suffer from various cancers by the dust and smoke from the collapsed building. Unsung human beings are helping them every day. In 22 years, times have changed. In that timespan, we went from floppy disks to USB drives, we went from Playstation to Playstation 5, and we went from blackberries to advanced smartphones. Yet, what doesn't change is the truth. The truth is that 9/11 was a very important part of world history that we won't forget, and we are inspired to stand up and speak up for the democratic human rights that we love so much. Our voting rights must be strengthened, reparations ought to be given to African Americans, imperialism has no place in the world, xenophobia is wrong, and wisdom from the Most High is always important to embrace.
