#OnThisDay July 6, 1944—After sitting on a bus next to a fair-skinned Black woman, Second Lieutenant Jackie Robinson is arrested in Camp Hood, Texas, for refusing to move to the back of a desegregated military bus. He is charged with insubordination, disturbing the peace, refusal to obey a superior’s order, insulting a civilian woman, and conduct unbecoming an officer. Robinson is court-martialed, and on August 2, 1944, acquitted of all charges. Instead of joining his unit in Europe, Robinson requests to leave the military.

Forced Deportation Civils Palestinians from North to South GAZA is a War Crime; you didn't need more proof it is in live on TV Channels. Where is the International Court of Justice for this war crime? Joe Biden, Macron, Rishi Sunak, Sholtz, Justin Trudeau; are allied with the War Criminal Netanyahu; They are all War Criminals. They did not want to ask for immediate Ceasefire, because more than 10000 innocent Civils Palestinians killed by the Zionist Colonialist Israeli army is not enough; they want more killing. They will have remorse of conscience. Are you human beings? I don't believe it anymore. Call for a Ceasefire Now not tomorrow. Stop the extermination of Palestinian civilians The President of the United States and the Government of the United States are giving a lot of tax money from the American Citizens to Israel to pay for the American weapons and bombs that will be dropped on Palestinian civilians (Baby, Wife and Old Mens) without the knowledge of American citizens. USA is complicit with Netanyahu in exterminating the Palestinian civilian's population and War Crimes. Israel is not above the international Laws. STOP this War Now. Call Now for an immediate ceasefire. Israel is a terrorist state with the support and the agreement of USA and occidental Governments
Not a single white politician signed on to the proposed #CeasefireNow bill. Representative Barbara Lee was also the only one out of 421 lawmakers to vote against the Authorization for Use of Military Force 20 years ago, AKA the never ending "war on terror."

Intellectual Integrity | Political Research Analyst • Driving Informed Policy Decisions & Social Change • America-First Truth-telling Content Creator
Fun fact: Modern Congress is severely disconnected from its original mandate to prioritize the public good and tranquility of the American people. The reason why politicians are only bound to the voters and not 3rd parties is because Congress derives their authority from the voters not people at-large or the partial legal persons with limited rights, corporations. But it’s obvious that our Congress, complicity from both parties, is corporate ruled, not by the people. As such, politicians seem to think that political office is an extension of their own personal truths, not political truths or the objective truth which is their obligations under their Constitutional oath. Our Congress is extremely deteriorated and it is our fault because we put them there to cause the damage they have for so long been causing with impunity. As such, we have incentivized them to prioritize political career over political duty to keep peace and interest safe domestically and abroad. At the end of the day, each politicians has a blind loyalty requirement to their political party, not the American people.

Classic vulnerability for committing espionage - financial duress. Perhaps those concerned about insider threats need to maintain a better pulse regarding the wellbeing of their employees. Communication is key. All humans have a potential breaking point.
This week in 1997, Robert Kim, a computer expert at the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) pleaded guilty to passing intelligence to a South Korean Embassy official. Saddled with major debt, Kim sought to cash in on what he learned from ONI. He was sentenced to 9 years in prison.

YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS HE SAID NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE SAYS "FAKE NEWS"! Welcome to the Ultimate Showdown: Conning Conundrum Syndrome vs. Trump Derangement Syndrome! In one corner, we have... Conning Conundrum Syndrome (CCS)! - Symptoms: Unshakable loyalty, denial reflex, and the blame game shuffle. Victims insist they haven't been conned by Trump and Putin, despite overwhelming evidence that could make a blindfolded jury shout "Guilty!" And in the other corner, we have... Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)! - Symptoms: Uncontrollable eye-rolling at the mention of Trump, spontaneous fits of fact-checking, and an intense urge to debunk every tweet. Accused sufferers vehemently oppose Trump, sometimes with a fervor that rivals a sports fan during the playoffs. CCS - "Conning Conundrum Syndrome" is like having a GPS that stubbornly refuses to recalibrate. You're headed for a cliff, but it keeps saying, "Turn right in 100 feet." You’re convinced the destination is glorious, but spoiler alert: it’s a steep drop into reality. TDS - "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is like having a highly sensitive radar that detects every single Trump-related blip, no matter how small. You’re hyper-aware of every move, comment, and typo, often resulting in high blood pressure and a sudden urge to tweet. Denial vs. Obsession - CCS: "No way, Trump’s perfect!" - TDS: "No way, Trump’s terrible!" Blame Game vs. Blame Flame - CCS: "What about those emails?" - TDS: "What about that tax return?" Loyalty vs. Paranoia - CCS: "Trump could do no wrong." - TDS: "Trump can do no right." The Hilarious Hypocrisy: - CCS sufferers are like fans at a magic show, utterly convinced that the magician’s tricks are real, while TDS sufferers are the skeptics yelling, "I see the wires!" - CCS Remedy: "Come on, admitting you've been conned isn't that bad. Think of it like realizing the magician pulls rabbits out of hats, not thin air." - TDS Remedy: "Hey, take a breath. Sometimes it’s okay to let a tweet pass by without a full investigation. Not every blip is a bombshell." In the grand scheme of things, both CCS and TDS could use a little bit of perspective, a dash of humor, and a lot less stress. After all, life’s too short to be stuck in a syndrome, right? So, whether you’re staunchly defending or constantly critiquing, remember to laugh along the way. Because in the end, we’re all just trying to navigate this crazy world, one conundrum at a time.

Trump's MOST disqualifying words was calling fallen military heroes "sucker's and losers"..

1wThat was 80 years ago… The Leftist of this country have set race relations back 60 +years simply for political power and and a sanctimonious, yet vacuous sense of self piety. “Y’all” should be ashamed of yourselves. Seems the Democrat Party never really “switched” after all…
