Biden-Harris leadership

Grandmothers, Mothers and Women (GMW), Let’s Thank God for them, because they have inherited a disaster, but God placed them there, for just this time in our lives. Quoting Jeremiah 29:11;â€For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.â€

They have a major part to play, and it’s called,’ “politics.†We have a part to play and it’s called, “Love.† under their leadership and our support, we will be become: The United States of America.

In order to create the America we want and need; we must all, “Chew Gum and Walk.†The Peace we want, has to start with Us. Each of us has work to do in our homes and communities; while holding our elected officials accountable and being supportive, giving credit where it’s due, and criticism when it’s needed.  We must keep our mirrors close by also.

In the 1st 100 days of the new administration, while combating the pandemic, Getting our children back in school and stabilizing our economy, we must also pass:

  1. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act .
  2. The John Lewis,Voting Rights Advancement Act.

They both passed in the House last year; the Senate needs to pass them, if not in the 1st ? days, Then definitely the 2nd ? days.

January 6, 2021, showed us how deep systemic racism runs in our country, but it also spotlights how important voting is. The election of November 2020, dispel the myth that our vote doesn’t count.

GMW 2021 is the year we are going to start reaping the benefits of our Power Tools: Our Vote, Dollars, Love and God. With these tools we will tackle the disparities of, Systemic racism in education, healthcare, home ownership , employment, wealth, And unequal treatment Under our criminal justice system,while saving so many of our children from themselves, especially our sons.

We will also remain mindful of the 2022 midterm elections. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives will be up for reelection, 34 seats in the Senate, 36 gubernatorial, 30 lieutenant gubernatorial seats, 30 Attorney General and 26 Secretaries of State.

?This we pray in the name of Jesus?


BLACK AND BROWN GMW: This Is What White Privilege Looks Like

BLACK AND BROWN GMW: What Would have Happened To Out Sons And Daughters?

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
Insurrection of Our capital

Grandmother, mothers and women (gmw) Black and Brown, Our children would not have been treated so well after a coup or insurrection against our government. 

Social Media’s Executives (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, has taken down Trump’s accounts , to stop his rhetoric, but the powers in the GOP, who looked the other way for 4 years, enabled the insurrection on January 6, 2021, and each of them is responsible for The Health and economic chaos, our country is in right now,  with 374,000 deaths and 21 million cases of COVID-19, all from a lack of leadership. If the senate had impeached him when they had a chance, we would not be receiving condolences from around the world, for our lack of ability to protect our lives, Health, economy and capital.

The vice president, the cabinet and congress has the power to invoke the 25th amendment section 4; and have Trump out of office or away from the duties of the president immediately. It allows the vice president, together with a “majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide”, to declare the president “unable to discharge the powers and duties” of their office in a written declaration. Upon the said declaration of the vice president and at least eight of the principal officers of the executive departments, the transfer of authority to the vice president is immediate, and (as with Section 3) the vice president 

The “principal officers of the executive departments” are the fifteen Cabinet members enumerated in the United States Code at 5 U.S.C 101 (Current officeholders in parentheses):

A president thus declared unable to serve may subsequently issue a declaration stating that they are able; this would mark the beginning of a four-day period, during which the vice president would remain acting president. If by the end of this period the vice president and a majority of the “principal officers of the executive departments” have not issued a second declaration of the president’s incapacity, then the president would resume his powers and duties.

If a second declaration of incapacity is issued within the four-day period, then the vice president remains acting president, while Congress considers the matter. If within 21 days the Senate and the House determine, each by a two-thirds vote, that the president is incapacitated, then the vice president continues as acting president; otherwise the president resumes his powers and duties.

Section 4’s requirements for the vice president to remain acting president indefinitely  – a declaration by the vice president together with a majority of the principal officers or other body, then (if the president makes a counter-declaration) a two-thirds vote of the House and a two-thirds vote of the Senate  – contrasts with the Constitution’s procedure for removal of the president from office for “high crimes and misdemeanors”  – a majority of the House (Article I, Section 2, Clause 5) followed by two-thirds of the Senate (Article I, Section 3, Clause 6).

Participation of the Vice President is an essential element; of Section 4.

Grandmothers, Mothers and Women (GMW), In particular and America in general, Lord Please Give Us The Strength To Endure The Next 30 Days!!! Then we will gladly say, “good riddance to bad rubbish. I’am so Angry, A total disregard for us…Mitch McConnell, is no longer fit to be leader of the Senate.

TAX BREAK FOR 3-MARTINI LUNCHES IN THE STIMULUS PACKAGE

The draft language of the emergency coronavirus relief package includes a tax break for corporate meal expenses pushed by the White House and strongly denounced by some congressional Democrats. It appears, in order for the Democrats to push through a deal to get some relief for the pandemic crisis, they had to give Mitch McConnell the three martini lunch tax credit for corporate meals expense, which is estimated to only cost about 1 billion a year.

President Trump has for months talked about securing the deduction — derisively referred to as the “three-martini lunch†by critics — as a way to revive the restaurant industry badly battered by the pandemic.

But critics said it would do little to help struggling restaurants and would largely benefit business executives who do not urgently need help at this time. Some Democrats recoiled at the proposal, though it has also been denounced as ineffective by conservative tax experts as well.

ZERO TO 26 MILLIONS AMERICANS WITH NO FOOD

“Republicans are nickel-and-diming benefits for jobless workers, while at the same time pushing for tax breaks for three-martini power lunches. It’s unconscionable,†said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee.

The cost to taxpayers of the proposal is not known, though tax experts expect it to not exceed a few billion dollars a year.

Since the 1980s, businesses have only been able to deduct 50 percent of their meal expenses off their federal taxes. A proposal championed by the White House and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) would increase that deduction to 100 percent allowing companies to deduct the full cost of a business meal off their federal taxes.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin included the meal deduction as a White House priority in negotiations, two people with knowledge of matter said. A Treasury Department spokeswoman declined to comment.

In a statement, Scott heralded the legislation as a “pro-worker, pro-restaurant, and pro-small business bill will lead to increased spending in restaurants and more income for staff.†Republicans pointed to support for the measure by the American Hotel and Lodging Association, US Travel, and the National Restaurant Association.

Trump and Larry Kudlow, director of the White House National Economic Council, have been among the most aggressive proponents of restoring the meal deduction.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
LET THEM EAT CAKE

At the White House in April, Trump urged that the United States “go back to the original†version of a tax deduction for entertainment and meals.

The president added: “They’ll send their executives, they’ll send people there, and they get a deduction. That is something that will really bring life back to the restaurants; I think make them hotter than before. You know, they used to have it. And when they ended it, it was really never the same. It was never the same.â€

During a roundtable discussion in May, Trump brought up the idea unprompted and suggested it would be more important than hundreds of billions in emergency small business loans.

“I think it’s, frankly, more important than even the other things we’re talking about,†the president said of restoring the deduction. “I guess, short term, what you’re talking about, is more important, but long-term, the deduction would be phenomenal.â€

Liberal and conservative economists and tax experts have panned the idea.

“Months later it is still bad policy, and still not good economic relief for the current situation,†said Kyle Pomerleau, a tax analyst at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute think tank. “It just should not be in there.â€

Jeff Stein is the White House economics reporter for The Washington Post. He was a crime reporter for the Syracuse Post-Standard and, in 2014, founded the local news nonprofit the Ithaca Voice in Upstate New York. He was also a reporter for Vox.

GMW WE HAVE MUCH WORK 2Do


GMW GOD, God gave us the awesome task of giving birth to every living soul on the face of the earth, when each was born, ‘no long list of instructions followed; the instructions were in our hearts.

Donald Trump has abdicated the responsibilities of the presidency, It appears his sole purpose now, is to create as much havoc as possible for the country, he feels let him down; while using the platform of the Oval Office to accomplish his missions of securing his financial future, while using the power of immunity to help his family and friends, before leaving the oval office.

GMW’s can you see this picture of the Oval Office, the Senate,and the House? ‘ it’s a perfect example of what parenting in America looks like sometimes. Example: In a public Arena, A spoil child is not allowed to have his way, he becomes in raged, yelling, screaming, exhibiting all kinds of bad behavior (The president). The adults in the room, (the house and senate) both Democrats and Republicans, are afraid to discipline the spoiled brat because they have implement laws that won’t allow them to snatch the little brat up, and say to him,†this behavior will not be tolerated or allowed to continue, but, some of the adults in the room has lost their backbones, and is afraid of the brat.

In private spaces (like Court Houses) the brat behaves, because those adults won’t tolerate his behavior; so he brings it to the street (the House, Senate, America) where the adults are so busy fighting each other, they’re not able to come together and control the brat. In the mean-time America is dying.

Grandmothers, mothers and women (GMW),Doesn’t it make you want to just put on your “Mothering Hatâ€, snatch the brat up, tell him go sit down someplace be quiet and still; enough is enough. To the frighten adults around him, (the house and senate and America)†we tell them, “how they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing the child to be in control, when he has surely shown he no longer has the capability of controlling anything, not even himself.

GMW GOD, God gave us the awesome task of giving birth to every living soul on the face of the earth, when each was born, ‘no long list of instructions followed; the instructions were in our hearts.

GMW, God made each of us different. That’s great, because together all of us make up GMW’s in America. In 1 Corinthians 12, states: each of us is unique, but together we make the body complete, and Christ is the head of the body. Jesus gave us two Commandments: to love the Lord and to love others as we love ourselves. (Matthew 22:37-40).

GMW we have work to do: we must step away from the divisive rhetoric going on in our country, not seeing a blue or red, progressive or independent situation; just a country we need of healing, as only we can.do!

?Let’s pray on this in the name of Jesus?Will continue in my next blog.

For everyone who says, my vote doesn’t count.

Look at the picture below. That’s what voter suppression look like:

America’s Injustice In Living Color

GMW nationally our children, the millennials have joined forces across the country protesting police brutality On our sons and daughters of color. We have been Protesting police brutality on our people of color for generations.

George Floyd Living His Life

On Monday May 25th 2020, America and the world witness the lynching of 46 years George Floyd, by 4 White MPO. Their immediate punishment was being fired. Today May 29th those officers still have not been arrested or charged. But a CNN  Black Reporter was arrested, while his White Partner a small distance away, was not arrested. MPD’s Racism is blatant, and they are not unique. 

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
George Floyd Losing His Life

Across our country, our Millennials black and white are joining forces. indicating they have had enough, our President Mr. Trump, is instructing our military and police to start shooting as soon as there is looting. GMW, none of us Condone violence in any form,but our justice system in America has to apply to our children of color, the same as they treat my white sons & daughters. Example: Mohamed Noor, who is black, Somali and Muslim,became the first Minnesota police officer convicted of murder in an on-duty killing, of Justine Ruszczyk, who was white.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.

Officer Noor and his partner were in their squad car in an alley investigating when Ms. Ruszczyk approach. Officer Noor said he heard a bang and fired one shot from the passenger seat when Justine appeared at the driver’s window, he feared for their life. During cross-examination assistant county attorney, Amy Sweasy asked Mr. Noor,â€Her blonde hair, and pink T-shirt and all, that was a threat to you. It’s assumed, Black Officers should have no fear? And, feel no fear when white people show-up, as is the case of Mr. George Floyd.

Now unfortunately, our children are protesting across the country because (4) white racist, un-empathetic white officers killed a man in handcuffs. They should have been arrested and let justice prevail. Our President is behaving like a spoil Bret with Twitter, while COVID-19 has killed over 100,000 Americans with 1.7m tested positive, he’ simply deflecting.  Our millennials across the country is protesting the 400 years of injustice, and Mr. Trump wants to Invoke the 1960 southern policy of when looting starts shooting begins. 

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
ST. Paul Minnesota Burning

Our children destroyed the police department in St.Paul last nite, and placed themselves in great danger, that we don’t condone, but they’re still alive and some are in jail, where those 4 officers should be! George Floyd is just the Tip-of the Ice-berg. It’s time white police-brutality against black people has to change.  GMW all of us has to be just as outrage regarding injustice as our children, if we do our part, they won’t have to use their methods. I’m so glad our children has join forces, because our police officers, think nothing of shooting my children, but will choose a different method when it comes to those who looks like them. 

In all the madness and the pandemic crisis, America and the world is facing, we will hold on to Jeremiah 29:11.

I’ve been checking news around the world and they are all focus on America. Plus the police in Minneapolis are still blatantly lying, they said they release Omar, the Black Reporter, after they discover he was with the media. He was covering the news with a microphone in his hand, while showing them his credentials. It appears they have become so comfortable in their racist behavior, until they forget, their behavior is caught on cameras, live and in color,  as it was for Amy Cooper, in Central Park, The same for Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia.  Even though the Georgia police department, suppressed the film in their Effort to cover-up the killing of Mr. Arbery.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
Ahmaud Arbery killed for no reason except, Racism

With all of the advocacy for justice, peace and change, nothing has happen, maybe after a police station has been burned. We will all start paying attention. From the White House to the Outhouse. GMW, we will continue to pray for justice, peace, and empathy, in Jesus’s name, we pray. Amen.
