Why Lord Jamar is Wrong on Being a Trump Supporter

 The hip-hop artist Lord Jamar recently supported Trump and promoted the lie that Trump is not a racist. Not only is Jamar a liar, but he is a traitor to black people. He is the worst type of traitor by hypocritically claiming to be for black people but allying with the anti-black fascist Donald Trump. Let's look at the facts. Trump said that the Central Park Five should have the death penalty, even after DNA evidence proved their innocence. Trump said that a Mexican American judge can't judge a case fairly because of his Mexican heritage. That is racism. Trump slandered the city of Detroit recently in October of 2024. Trump called many black women politicians as having low IQ. Trump made sexist remarks against Kamala Harris for months, and Trump said that there were good people on both sides in the events of Charlottesville, Virginia back in 2017. The other side included Nazis and far-right terrorists. Jamar hypocritically criticizes Dj Vlad for his antics (which is true as Vlad is a deceptive person), but he supports Trump and sugarcoats his antics. Lord Jamar wants to be part of the house of Trump so badly, because he loves his master, Donald Trump. He is worse than Jesse Lee Peterson (as Peterson never claims to be pro-black). Jamar said that Kamala Harris isn't black. The truth is that Kamala Harris is Black and Indian American, and she called herself black and African American plenty of times. 


 


Vice President Kamala Harris is not perfect, but she is not Trump. Trump was found liable legally of raping a woman, but Kamala Harris was a prosecutor who targeted corrupt Wall Street interests and sexual predators. Trump wants camps to house migrants (he wants to end birthright citizenship and he wants a Muslim ban), but Kamala Harris wants billions of dollars in federal investments to build new housing in America. Trump has promoted divisive rhetoric for decades, and Kamala Harris promotes unity and justice. Jamar talks about Tupac and collard greens, but Kamala's misspoken words are nowhere near Trump agitating an insurrection against the USA government on January 6, 2021 (Trump called terrorists and traitors on that day patriots and wants to pardon these criminals). Republicans in Alabama are being sued by Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clark of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice and the rest of the Justice Department for having a program that is aimed at removing voters form its election roles. Many GOP members are trying to suppress the vote now. So, Lord Jamar is a Hotep (as many Hoteps are allied with the MAGA cult) who made sexist remarks for years. Jamar said the lie that only 500,000 Jewish people died in the Holocaust in 2020. That is offensive as six million Jewish people died in the Shoah. This is the same person who said that women hip-hop artists are not part of real hip-hop. He has to nerve to call Sha-Rock an anomaly when Sequence, Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and other women hip hop artists have made contributions in hip hop since the 1970s. This liar Jamar said that Harris did nothing specific to black people. Amber Rose lied and said that eating cats is part of Haitian culture. Amber Rose is a sick person like Jamar is too. Harris funded HBCUs, helped to cut poverty in half, talked to black men as men to promote her views, and went about promoting infrastructure development in our nation. Black unemployment is much lower now than in Trump's Presidency. She has detailed policy positions on her campaign site too. That is the truth. Kamala Harris is proposing a new plan for Medicare to cover the costs of health care aides for seniors. Yet, Trump has no plan whatsoever on dealing with national health care issues. Trump stands for fascism and bigotry, and Kamala Harris stands for democracy. It is as simple as that.

Reasons Why Black People Lived in Ancient Egypt.

 

In our generation, you still have people who believe in the utter, disrespectful, and racist lie that no black person lived in ancient Egypt. This is refuted by common sense as people migrated globally to many places of the world originally from sub-Saharan Africa. If there were black people in ancient Greece and ancient Rome (proven by history), then black people lived in ancient Egypt. This work is to refute people like Zahi Hawass who hypocritically said that no black Africans lived in ancient Egypt when we have DNA evidence that Ramses III has Haplogroup E DNA related to black people from West Africa. This doesn't mean that every ancient Egyptian was a black human being, but black people did live in ancient Egypt proven historically, genetically, and other modes of evidence. So, here are the reasons why numerous black people lived in ancient Egypt. 


1. The 25th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt was filled with Nubian Black Pharaohs who ruled ancient Egypt. These black people lived in Ancient Egypt, had children in Ancient Egypt, and ruled ancient Egypt. Many of the Nubian rulers' names are Tantamani, Taharqa (he is mentioned in the Bible), Senkamisken, Aspelta, Aniamani, and other people. The Kushite Empire controlling Nubia and ancient Egypt plus beyond was in ca. 700 B.C. The 25th Dynasty lasted from 754 B.C. to 656 B.C. The first ruler of this dynasty was the black ruler named Piye. There was always cultural diffusion among Nubia, ancient Egypt, and other places in Africa. 

2. Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses III ruled during the 12th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt from ca. March 26, 1186, B.C. to April 15, 1155, B.C. He is considered the last great king of the New Kingdom. Researchers found that his Y chromosomal haplogroup is E1b1a-V38. The haplogroup is found in Africa, especially in West Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, the African Great Lakes, and parts of East Africa. So, this haplogroup is part of human beings who originated from Sub-Saharan Africa (as the origin of the human race are black people from Africa). In another study by the same authors in 2020, which once again deals with the paternal lineage of Ramesses III and the "Unknown Man E" (possibly Pentawer), E1b1a is said to show its highest frequencies in modern West African populations (~80%) and Central Africa (~60%).

3. Much of Egypt's religious beliefs, philosophy, traditions, kingship, architecture, musical instruments, totemism, art, and circumcision rights were undeniably African.

4. Ancient scholars record that Ancient Egypt had black people in the land and was influenced by black Ethiopian people: 

Diodorus (63BC-14AD), an ancient Greek historian, recorded the popular belief that Egypt was an Ethiopian colony:

"The Ethiopians (black people), as history relates, were the first of all men. They also say that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony. And the larger part of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold, Ethiopian, the colonists still preserving their ancient manners. For instance, the belief that their kings are gods, the very special attention which they pay to their burial, and many other matters of a similar nature are Ethiopian practices, while the shapes of their statues and the forms of their letters are Ethiopian." (Poe, Richard. Black Spark White Fire. Rocklin, CA: PRIMA, 1997. 352)


Even the 5000-year-old Narmer palette: Egypt's first monument, has signs that, "are essentially African," as reported by G. Mokhtar and J. Vercoutier (Ancient civilizations of Africa/ UNESCO International Scientific Committee for the Drafting of a General History of Africa; editor, G. Mokhtar (London; Heinemann Educational Books; Berkeley: University of California Press, 1981), 15).

Basil Davidson wrote, "Egypt was not born into a void; it emerged from a Neolithic womb, and this womb was African. The peasants of the Fayum Lake, those who laid the foundations of old Egyptian society, were not without their own ideas about like and the cosmos; the provenance of these ideas, or of most of them, was undoubtedly more African than Asian. "God's Land" with all it great ancestral spirits lay, for dynastic Egypt, neither in the east nor in the north, but far to the south and west. There is nothing to show that the earliest forms of ram and sun worship or of other cults made famous along the Nile did not take their rise in this obscure "God's Land" of "upper Africa." (Davidson, Basil. The Lost Cities of Africa. Boston: Little Brown, 1959, 75).

5. Modern genetic studies prove that ancient Egyptians had genetic ties to Africa and the Middle East as black people and people of color regularly traveled from Africa to the Middle East and throughout the Earth. In 2023, Christopher Ehret argued that the conclusions of the 2017 study were based on insufficiently small sample sizes and that the authors had a biased interpretation of the genetic data. Ehret also criticized the Schuenemann article for asserting that there was “no sub-Saharan genetic component” in the Egyptian population and cited previous genetic analysis suggesting that the E-M35 paternal haplogroup originated in the Horn of Africa. The tomb of two high-status Egyptians, Nakht-Ankh and Khnum-Nakht, was discovered by Egyptian workmen directed by Sir William Flinders Petrie and Ernest Mackay in 1907. Nakht-Ankh and Khnum-Nakht lived during the 12th Dynasty (1985–1773 BCE) in Middle Egypt and were aged 20 years apart. Their tomb has been called Tomb of Two Brothers because the mummies were buried adjacent to one other and inscriptions on the coffins mention the female name Khnum-Aa, who is described as 'lady of the house' and referred to as the mother of both Nakht-Ankh and Khnum-Nakht. The Y-chromosome sequences were not complete, but the Y-chromosome SNPs indicated that they had different fathers, suggesting that they were half-brothers. The SNP identities were consistent with mtDNA haplogroup M1a1 with 88.05–91.27% degree of confidence, thus "confirming the African origins of the two individuals" according to the study authors, based on their maternal lineage. Skin color varied between the peoples of Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt, and Nubia, who in various eras rose to power in Ancient Egypt. The current position of modern scholarship is that the Egyptian civilization was an indigenous Nile Valley development.

6. Ancient Egyptians in hieroglyphics and art depicted themselves not as blond-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian people, but as black people and other people of color (from light brown to darker-skinned human beings). According to Prof. Manu Ampim, many folks have intentionally broken noses and lightened the skin of many artifacts to promote the lie that only white people lived in ancient Egypt. 

7.  Dexter Caffey, an American businessman did a DNA test and discovered that he is a direct descendant of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses III, who lived in the 13th Century B.C. Scholars have proven that the Badarian civilization was influenced by the Nubians, people of the Horn of Africa, and other regions of Africa. The Badarian culture was in ancient Egypt before the Ancient Egyptian dynasties.

The 2024 Republican National Convention Analyzed

 

The first day of the Republican nomination is happening in Milwaukee. Protesters are out there, and massive security is enacted, especially after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. This event comes 60 years after the 1964 Republican National Convention when the Republicans nominated the far-right candidate Barry Goldwater for the GOP ticket. Today in 2024, the Republicans Party and many even Democratic moderates are heavily funded by reactionary, big wealthy corporate interests. In these events, the Republican nominee officially named Donald Trump as the 2024 Republican nominee after all of the state delegates voted for him. J.D. Vance is chosen as the Vice Presidential candidate for the Republican ticket too. J.D. Vance has been officially chosen as the running mate of Donald Trump. This ticket is not surprising. Donald Trump was not going to picket a moderate candidate. J.D. Vance once called Trump an idiot and changed his mind. He has been an Ohio Senator for years. Vance has publicly said that he wouldn't accept electors to make Biden President in 2020. Vance is part of the more isolationist younger generation of Republicans who would rather see Ukraine to be a vassal of Russia than an independent nation, who supports the CPAC agenda than the agenda of truth, and who believes widespread voter fraud caused Trump to lose the 2020 Presidential election which is a lie. J.D. Vance made millions as a venture capitalist in the Silicon Valley firm Mithrill Capital Management, founded by former PayPal CEO and Trump supporter Peter Thiel. His book of Hillbilly Elegy promotes individualism and free enterprise. He believes that poverty is not caused by governments and corporations which is not true. Vance held fundraisers for the fascists who were arrested for the January 6, 2021, insurrection. Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, and Steven Bannon (all Trump supporting far right people) support Vance as a Vice Presidential GOP candidate. 


Many people spoke at the convention rally On Monday. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noe wanted to have no business restrictions during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin wanted to talk about Virginia to be the number one state to do business, but he omits that the Virginia state legislature is dominated by Virginian Democrats. Majorie Taylor Greene gave a rant against immigrants and globalists. Charlie Kirk made antisemitic and racist comments for years and talked about how the separation of church and state is a fabrication. Florida Rep. Byron Donalds talked about how his single other got him into a private school. Senator Tim Scott gave a religious speech to say that God still saves and Trump being an American lion who got back on his feet and roared. Amber Rose defended Trump and lied and said that Trump is not a racist. Trump wanted the Central Park Five to be executed even after they were proven to be innocent, he said that a Mexican judge can't judge an immigration case fairly because of his Mexican heritage, he called any Jewish people who oppose him as "disloyal," he called mostly black countries a slur, and he made misogynistic comments too. 




Amber Rose said that under Trump American families were safer, wealthier, and stronger. That's a lie as under Biden, unemployment is lower, the crime rates in America are going down, black businesses have grown at record levels, and jobs have increased in the millions. Amber Rose once was in close proximity to Blackness but ran away from it for political reasons. Rose isn't black (and uses the n word and demonized black people of Philadelphia years ago) but multiracial, but her tactics represent how she uses hip-hop culture for profit but supports Trump whose anti-democratic views are against the culture for real. There were many Black Republicans at the RNC who gave remarks like Byron Donalds, John James, Wesley Hunt, and other people. Van Jones believes that Van Jones is a threat to Democrat showing Van Jones's extremism. Rep. John James made the ignorant comment that if you don't vote for Donald Trump, you are not black. Republicans hypocritically claim to oppose identity politics (which is nothing more than BIPOC people and other minorities to have freedom and justice), but they brag about having some black supporters. Sean O'Brien, the International Brotherhood of Teaster President supported Trump when the Republicans have had an anti-labor record for generations. Ron Johnson said that the Democratic policies are a clear and present danger to the country which is offensive and provocative. Donald Trump came to the RNC Convention being emotional along with his son, because Trump survived an evil assassination attempt by a murdering coward. This is the first time I have seen Trump in public being emotional on television. The Trump campaign strategy to get to the voters of the Democratic coalition (of black people, Latino people, independents, etc.) in order to try to win the 2024 election.




Kari Lake's speech is not a unifying message. Steve Scalise talked about the economy and the other issues but omit that America is now a major energy export with the strongest economy on Earth presently. Thousands of protesters are in Milwaukee, Wisconsin right now. On the 2nd day of the Republican National Convention, Re. Tom Emmer talked about standing with the people and the people, but Donald Trump has promised to pardon the criminals and rioters (or insurrectionist traitors) who viciously assaulted 140 men and women who were police officers on January 6, 2021. One police officer in the U.S. Capitol was called the n word, and another officer was almost crushed to death in a door. Many folks want people to forget the evils committed on that day, but I won't. Nikki Haley gave her speech to defend Donald Trump along with Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis's ignorant self-use the ageist comment that Biden is similar to a Weekends at Bernie's movie when Biden has enacted some of the greatest legislation in American history since the days of LBJ and FDR. Marco Rubio gave a speech in the convention too which represents a total capitulation to the agenda of MAGA. What the Republicans forget is that with President Biden, we have lower crime, lower inflation, border crossings are even down, record high market results, and record low black unemployment rates. 


There were many events at the Republican National Convention on its third day. This time saw Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance giving his speech to the general public. Vance introduced himself showing a right-wing populist message. The Republicans in the convention criticized Biden's foreign policy from his handling of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal (with Gold Star families and kidnapping victims of Hamas). Trump's 17-year-old granddaughter gave remarks. Vance criticized Biden saying that a rural area in Ohio is a place that is forgotten by America's ruling class in Washington. Vance forgets that he is part of the Silicon Valley wealthy crew and funded by them. Vance criticized Biden for supporting the Iraq War. The Iraq War was an unjust war obviously for a litany of reasons, but Ukrainians gave the God given right to defend their lands from Russian military invasion. Vance is blatantly isolationist. His wife Usha gave words too on the stage. Vance blamed Biden for giving China a few passes when tariffs against China could cause a trade war increasing prices of American goods and harming the American economy directly. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn shouted at Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle accusing her of not giving real answers to the public about what took place involving the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum gave his speech that the war on energy hurts people, but massive pollution hurts all people from increased diseases, increased community destruction, and lead pipes. We should have energy, but it must be developed in the right fashion, and clean energy is energy too especially in the rise of climate change in our world. What we see here is that the agenda of fascism is alive in America, and the corporate media (from CNN, FOX, and even some in MSNBC) care more to criticize Biden than to criticize the real threat of Trumpism is a profound double standard (like they or some in the corporate media did to Bernie Sanders years ago).

J.D. Vance claims to ally with the interests of the poor and working-class people, but he grew up in a 4-bedroom suburban home in Ohio. His family earned almost $200,000 a year in today's dollars and the family paid for his golf lessons. J.D. Vance's book of Hillbilly Elegy represents his views. The book showed that Vance grew up in Jackson, Kentucky, and Middletown, Ohio. By the end of the book, Vance shows hostility to the working class and the poor. In his book, he blames those in poverty for spending giant TVs, IPads, nice clothes for kids, and other loans that leave people in poverty. He believes that hard work can cure laziness and poverty. We know that doesn't work all of the time, because poverty is systematic, and the poor are amongst many of the hardest working people in the world.

The 2024 RNC guests include many 2020 election deniers. The Republican Party is now not the Party of Lincoln. It is the Party of Trump filled with extremists and being unapologetically xenophobic. Fascist movements always hated socialism, promotes extreme nationalism, advances the subordination of the will of the people to one person, and expresses a hatred of a separation of church and state. Campaign signs in the RNC have the message of "Mass Deportations Now" which means they want 10-20 million people to be rounded out and leave America by force (sending them into camps and splitting up tons of families in a vindictive fashion). These actions don't represent true unity but hating one's neighbor. Such an act would be impossible to accomplish unless an authoritarian state existed. Back decades ago, the Nazis and Hitler promoted Jewish people being vilified. In our time, the modern-day neo-fascists demonize black people, Jewish people, immigrants (especially undocumented immigrants, many of whom qualify for legal asylum), women, and other minorities. The GOP promotes a perversion of Christianity that view Trump as a Messianic figure who can save the soul of America (Many Evangelicals have been deceived to unconditionally support him when he has been found legally liable of rape, convicted of many felonies, sells Bible for tons of money, and advances hatred against those who disagree with his repugnant views). Tax cuts for the super-wealthy are the agenda of the RNC that refutes the claim that the Republican Party is a populist party. Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Marco Rubio, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis all align with the Trump agenda. Hulk Hogan joining Trump in the RNC Convention is not shocking. Hogan is something else.




We will always oppose fascism and injustice. Republican Governor Jim Justice of West Virginia said that wild comment that they will become unhinged if Trump loses the 2024 election by November. One important point is to see how Robert Kennedy Jr. is talking and collaborating verbally with Donald Trump. This can't be understated. Both of these people are extremists, expressed skepticism about vaccines, and are dangerous to our way of life. Trump wanted RFK Jr. to support him when Robert Kennedy Sr. was the opposite of both men. Robert Kennedy Sr. back in the 1960's opposed apartheid, supported civil rights, wanted gun control, endorsed international cooperation to solve complicated foreign policy issues, and believed in ending the Vietnam War. President Joe Biden wants major Supreme Court reforms. It could include term limits for Justice and an enforceable code of ethics. Ex-Trump aide Peter Navarro spoke at the Republican National Convention hours after leaving jail for refusing to submit to a legal subpoena.


After the notorious sellout, Hulk Hogan, spoke in favor of Trump at the RNC, Donald Trump gave his nomination speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the fourth and last day of the convention.  Many people questioned whether Trump would go forward and give a conciliatory speech or a more divisive one. Well, the latter is true. Trump at first gave an account of the assassination attempt against him in somber terms. He at first gave a message of unity, and then he was giving the same old divisive, hateful, and habitually lying speech. Trump claimed to want to be President for all of America, not half of America. Yet, he has called his opponents vermin, promised mass detention camps, and claimed that undocumented immigrants and migrants are "poisoning the blood of our country." Trump claimed in his speech that he will not criminalize dissent or demonize disagreement, but he said that he will prosecute his political opponents in a June 2024 interview with Sean Hannity. Trump said that he is the one saving democracy, but he has promised to be a dictator on day one. Trump was indicted by many grand juries, all made up of regular Americans. Trump attacked Pelosi, Biden, and the UAW President. Trump claims that massive crime is in America when crime rates have declined in the past 2 years. Trump claimed that Biden wants to raise your taxes four times. The truth is that President Joe Biden has no plans to raise taxes on Americans earning less than $400,000. Trump has spoken for 90 minutes being the longest Republican National Convention speech in American history. Trump claimed to want to lower prices, but Trump has proposed blanket tariffs on goods that will cost families an estimated $2,500 extra per year. Many people in the billionaire class could care less about democracy but profit and control. That is why at least 63 billionaires have publicly endorsed Trump, hosted a fundraiser for him, and contributed to Trump-aligned PACs. Donald Trump said that he did a great job as President in dealing with COVID-19 which isn't the case. He said that people should inject bleach while over a million Americans died from the pandemic. Donald said that he would bring the biggest tax cuts ever to his wealthy friends. Donald said that he would end the electric vehicle mandate on day one when there is no electric car mandate. American manufacturing is growing during the Biden Presidency with nearly 800,000 new jobs. Donald Trump has praised Hannibal Lecter when that is a fictional character. 

At the end of the day, the Republican National Convention is not about promoting a softer, more moderate tone. It is about bashing immigrants, scapegoating progressives, declaring political opponents the enemies of the state, and denigrating other minorities.

A Debate with a MAGA Republican:


Kim Brand DeVito

Just wondering, what do you think Trump lied about at convention? I didn't hear any lies.


My Response: Trump lied and said that America's crime is going up when crime rates are declining since 2020. Trump lied and called Biden the worst President in American history which is not the case. There are other lies. No one on this Earth will cause me to support Trump on every issue.


Kim Brand DeVito:  crime is going up, every week you hear who was murdered, beat up, sexually abused. Biden is the worst, food prices crazy high, gas prices higher, rent, mtg rates, illegals illegally crossing into our country, not stopping Putin, he had knowledge of him going to attack Ukraine. Israeli going

war with Hamas, Iran, Hezbolla. Not getting our American hostages back from Gaza. Giving free healthcare, places to live, $$$ in credit cards,food kicking out our American veterans and putting in Illegals in hotels, etc. Canceling student debt, which is Illegal. Using our federal taxes to pay for all that. Only congress can authorize use of our federal taxes. Americans work our butts off to pay for rent, mtg, food, schools, healthcare. I beleive America is weak now. I want more money in my paycheck, lower gas prices, lower food, lower everything. And to finish building the wall. We both see America as we do. It's good to compare our differences. We both lived through presidents we dont agree with, thats the American way. 🙂Thank you!🇺🇲


My Response: You have been deceived. FBI statistics and other sources show that overall crime is going down. Crime rates are lower now in America than in the 1980's obviously. People being beaten and murdered (which is wrong) doesn't mean we have a record of overall crime in America. Crime is caused by multiple factors and one man can't influence all crime. Biden is not the worst President in history. Andrew Johnson, Herbert Hoover, and other Presidents are much worse than Biden. You talk about sexually abuse when a legal court found Trump guilty of sexually abusing a woman and Trump is caught saying perverted comments about his own daughter. Prices have gone up and inflation have slowed down, gas prices aren't higher, and Biden is proposing a solution to housing. Immigration issues have existed for decades. Biden proposed a bipartisan immigration reform bill that your friend opposed. Israel attacking Hamas was caused by Hamas not Biden. Hamas, Hezbollah, and other forces have attacked Israel regardless of who is President. Many American hostages (not all) have returned. 

There is nothing wrong with health care, and there is no evidence that every undocumented immigrant is a murderous degenerate seeking to ruin America. There should be fairness shown to citizens and undocumented immigrants deserve fair treatment too. The only solution is comprehensive immigration policies that use border security and a process where undocumented immigrants have to go through a plan (not treated better than American citizens or worse) to live their own lives. Congress can authorize money. Canceling student loan debt is not illegal if that policy is done by Congress. Canceling student loan debt is moral. The wall won't solve any problem. I don't agree with you on many issues. Biden's relative was a veteran and used policies to help veterans. Trump in the RNC speech lied and said that Democrats used COVID-19 to steal the election. Biden's policies cut childhood poverty in half, caused record low black unemployment, increased the growth of black owned businesses, and invested in HBCUs. You desire more money in your paycheck, but Trump wants tariffs and tax cuts for the super wealthy that will not cause more money to your paycheck (if you are not rich). We have a long way to go, but 2024 is much better than 2020 (2020 had COVID, mass unemployment, and other issues).


Kim Brand DeVito

On the news now, DC passes grim milestone with over 100 homicides this year.


My Response: News shows that in March 2024, the overall crime rate has declined by 5 percent compared to March 2023. Murders and burglaries have been down in NYC too. Murder in D.C. or in any place is wrong. Yet, progress has been made in America. Also, according to Axios D.C., the authors Cuney Dill and Russell Contreras wrote that D.C. homicides are declining in 2024 after last year's violent crime spike. They wrote that homicides have dropped 25 percent so far this year compared to 2023. D.C. has a general decline in crime rates. Carjackings are down 23 percent and violent crime in total is down 22 percent.

Why I Won't Vote for Donald Trump in November 2024.

 

I will not vote for Donald Trump in November 2024 for these various reasons. All of these reasons are documented facts:

1. Donald Trump called the January 6th insurrection terrorists hostages. These insurrectionists harmed police officers with pepper spray, poles, and other weapons. Many of them waved Confederate and Neo-Nazi flags. They terrorized innocent people, vandalized innocent property, and some threatened to hang former Vice President Mike Pence.

2. Donald Trump has attacked judges, a judge's daughter, and President Biden in offensive, inappropriate terms.

3. Donald Trump has made overtly racist, sexist, and xenophobic comments. For example, Trump called the wife of Senator Mitch McConnell a racist slur, but McConnell cowardly supports Trump, Trump called COVID-19 a racist slur, he called migrants "vermin," and he called a black judge "an animal.' 

4. Donald Trump is known for habitual lying, even documented by mainstream sources. 

5. I don't agree with Trump's domestic and foreign policy views. Trump has praised dictators and authoritarians like Orban, the President of Argentina, and Putin. He has glorified Chairman Xi, when Xi censors the Internet at draconian levels, suppresses religious liberty rights, and suppresses domestic dissent against his regime. 

6. Trump has said that he wants to be a dictator on Day one of his Presidency in January of 2025 if he is elected President. 

7. Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy, because of his threats of retribution against his political opponents, wanting Georgia officials to illegally steal votes in the 2020 election involving Georgia, and his threats against press reporters who criticize his extremism.
