The Nation moves on after Trump Insurrection

It has been 2 days since the Trump Insurrection where Trump demonstrators overran US Capitol Police and got into the US Capitol. Nancy Pelosi wanted Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment but that's not likely. The House has drafted Articles of Impeachment charging Trump with Inciting a Riot. Votes as early as next Monday may happen.

Trump divided this nation. Will Biden Unify it? Trump supporters have been brainwashed into believing that the election was rigged and stolen from Trump. I don't see them easily supporting Biden and his goals for the country.

We can't let go of what Trump and his minions in the Senate and House did. Their actions led to this riot. Time for Trump to bow out. He needs to lay low until his time runs out. It's good that this happened now as opposed to months ago. Trump only has 12 more days as President. Good riddance when he leaves!!

John Lewis a Civil Rights Icon Passes Away

John Lewis dedicated his life to service from civil rights to serving in the House for the state of Georgia since the 80's. During a time when their was a real struggle for civil rights in the Black Community, Lewis was a champion for the cause.

Yesterday John Lewis's body was driven over the Edmund Pettus Bridge where "Bloody Sunday" happened when police attacked protesters 55 years ago who were marching to Selma, Alabama. John Lewis's life is a testimony of what Black America should aspire to. As a young man in the 60's he lived the civil rights struggle.

Officer not Charged in Jacob Blake Case

Today, Jan 5., 2021 Michael Graveley the Kenosha, Wisconisn, District Attorney decided not to file charges against that police officer, whose name is Rusten Shesky. All this as reported in the New York TImes. How many times will a shooting like this happen before there is real change? The police need to be reformed but can they teach restraint in the heat of the moment? Officers are to protect and serve but they have a right to preserve there own life. However they do not have a right to shoot and kill or maim our Black men. Police need to do more to reach out to the Black community. To all communities. Its not good that your first real encounter with the police should be when you've may have done something wrong and you get arrested. I know first hand how hard police officers work. They work long hours with li
