House approves 1/6 Commission with 35 GOP votes.

Mitch will kill it in the Senate and then Pelosi will put up a select committee and the GOP is about to get Benghazied,

The House passes a bipartisan bill. Complicit insurrectionists are working to kill it in the Senate.

You cannot drive out darkness with more darkness, only light can do that.

You cannot drive out hate with more hate, only love can do that.

We need to put together a team of the most peaceful, loving people, to quell the violence in the Middle East.

Our Ambassadors in our Peace Caravan could be Goldie Hawn, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Barbi Benton, and other peaceful people.

Blessed are the peace makers.

We need peaceful people, and we need teachers, as Ambassadors to the Middle East, we have had many years of violence in the Middle East, now we need to have peace. 

Salute,

Tony V.

I think even with this, the GOP won't be Benghazied. I am sure they will bleat about it as such, but it won't be as long, as stupid, as repetitive, or as one-sided.

And can you imagine any GOP Cabinet official taking it as HRC did?!

McCarthy lost more than 15% of his caucus who have chosen country over party. This would be a good place for republicans in the Senate who want a future in this country to break from trump and McConnell.

It would be good if they did, however that’s like expecting Al Qaeda voting for to form a 9.11 Comission

The peace time people are the ones who build everything, the Generals just defend the peace time workers while they work.

The Generals do not grow food, they do not make movies, they do not build houses.

If you have just all military people then you are not going to get anything built. 

We need to send peace time people into the Middle East, teachers, and teachers of peace. 

And some places can never build anything because they are always destroying everything with war.

You have to have peace, and peace time workers, so that you can build.

The Generals can protect the peace time workers while the peace time workers go in and fix things in the Middle East.

Salute,

Tony V.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday defended her decision to grant interviews on her two-year anniversary in office only to journalists of color, saying it was intended as an effort to confront the issue of what she described as a mostly white and male City Hall press corps.

But the move, revealed Tuesday by her office, was greeted skeptically by some in the Chicago media and beyond, with questions about whether excluding white reporters is a discriminatory act from a mayor who has had an often contentious relationship with reporters of all backgrounds.



Discriminatory?
Sure.
But there is a more accurate description.
It is racist.

Red has gotten past the idea that there is no such thing as racism in this country.

Good job, Mayor Lightfoot.

Red, it sure took you long enough.

Raquel Lopez is not going to run for re-election for the Detroit City Council.

https://dev.deadlinedetroit.com/articles/27845/detroit_councilmember_raquel_castaneda-lopez_will_not_seek_re-election_endorses_replacement

It is too bad, because she really cares about people.

Maybe Rocky will run for Mayor of Detroit, or Governor of Michigan.

She is one of the good people in Government.

I tested her, I sent emails to all of the Council Members in Detroit, and she was the only one who wrote me back. Then I watched her. She is doing a fantastic job for Detroit. I hope that she will continue to serve the people.

And she loves the immigrants. We can send her the people from the Southern Border, she can put them to work painting Detroit, and laying cobblestone streets and planting trees, etc. She loves to serve the people.

Salute,

Tony V.
