Rep. Waters Votes to Impeach Donald Trump for Second Time Inglewood Today News

Washington, D.C. –Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43, Inglewood), Chairwoman of the House Committee on Financial Services, issued the following statement after casting her vote to impeach President Donald J. Trump for a second time.

“I voted to impeach Donald J. Trump – the worst and most dangerous president in the history of the United States of America. Today, he became the first president in our history to be impeached, not once – but twice.”

“From the very beginning of Donald Trump’s siege of our government and our democracy, I knew the danger he posed, and I knew that he was willing to do absolutely anything to stay in power.

He came down the escalator at Trump Tower with a purpose, not to better our country or make it great, but to further his own interests and put them ahead of the interests of our country. From day one, it was clear that Donald J. Trump had no regard for the Constitution and was willing to trample all over it.

“The President of the United States took an oath to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution’. It is an oath

required by Article Two, Section One. Yet, it is an oath that he never took seriously and violated once again when he incited an insurrection at the United States Capitol.

“His relentless efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election have become the gravest stress test of American democracy in generations.

Our democratic institutions are under assault by the same leader charged with their care, and we must understand our role in checking the authoritarian behavior emanating from the White House.

“From the highest office in the land, Donald Trump provided white supremacists, right-wing extremists, and conspiracy theorists validation and free reign to spew hatred, bigotry, and racism, and yes – commit extreme violence. This failed man and failed president not only refused to condemn violence from these groups, he incited and encouraged them time and time again. In Charlottesville, he called them good people, and last year, he gave an order to the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by,” and that – they did.

“On January 6, just before insurrectionists stormed the Capitol and desecrated the seat of American democracy, Donald Trump gave them orders. He told them to “save our democracy” and that “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and... you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.” With their marching orders in hand and fueled by the lies he spoon fed to them over the last four years, his supporters sped toward the Capitol with Confederate flags, guns, and nooses in tow.

AROUND THE CITY ‘The Other America’ A Deepening Divided Nation at Boiling Point

EYE ON THE CITY

GEORGE DOTSON

RALPH FRANKLIN

By Kenneth Miller, Publisher

As we approach the celebration Dr. Martin Luther King Day on the heels of the worse civil confrontation during modern history, the vivid recollection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1968 speech in Detroit ‘The Other America’ clearly comes into view.

It was the spring following the 1967 Detroit race riots when Dr. King eloquently dissected the schism contrasting the border between the wealthy elite white suburb of Grosse Pointe, Michigan and the improvised urban Black city of Detroit.

King made the address to citizens of Grosse Pointe High School on March 24, 1968 to highlight the state of racism and the determination of a nation to maintain segregated communities and people of color from its white citizenry.

“I want to use as a title for my lecture tonight, “The Other America.” And I use this title because there are literally two Americas. Every city in our country has this kind of dualism, this schizophrenia, split at so many parts, and so every city ends up being two cities rather than one. There are two Americas. One America is beautiful for situation. In this America, millions of people have the milk of prosperity and the honey of equality flowing before them. This America is the habitat of millions of people who have food and material necessities for their bodies, culture and education for their minds, freedom and human dignity for their spirits. In this America children grow up in the sunlight of opportunity. But there is another America. This other America has a daily ugliness about it that transforms the buoyancy of hope into the fatigue of despair. In this other America, men walk the streets in search for jobs that do not exist. In this other America, millions of people are forced to live in distressing housing conditions...”

As with many of Dr. King’s speeches that are so poetic and prognosticating, ‘The Other America’ speaks to the

issues that our nation is facing during a crippling COVID pandemic that penpoints the dispair of people of color who are dying in record portions.

Dr. King went on to further illustrate; “In this other America, thousands of young people are deprived of an opportunity to get an adequate education. Every year thousands finish high school reading at a seventh, eighth and sometimes ninth grade level. Not because they’re dumb, not because they don’t have the native intelligence, but because the schools are so inadequate, so over-crowded, so devoid of quality, so segregated if you will, that the best in these minds can never come out.

Probably the most critical problem in the other America is the economic

problem. There are so many other people in the other America who can never make ends meet because their incomes are far too low if they have incomes, and their jobs are so devoid of quality. And so, in this other America, unemployment is a reality... So the vast majority of negroes in America find themselves perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. This has caused a great deal of bitterness. It has caused ache and anguish... These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?...”

So divided is our nation today that when a group of Blacks and people of color marched to protest police brutality and racial injustice in the heated summer of 2020, white lawmakers have insistently without repercussion compared those experiences to the Jan. 6 insurrection by white supremist and hate groups at the United States Capitol during the certification of the 2020 election.

Out going President Donald J. Trump has stressed democracy to its bitter limits, protesting without a shred of evidence that the 2020 election was stolen and during a slew of since defeated court cases targeted Black communities for voting irregularities.

Next week when Joseph R. Biden will be sworn in as the 46 President of the United States of America, so too will Kamala Harris as the first woman and person of color as the Vice President and while their unifying message resonated with some 80 million voters, another 70 plus million were peddled lies by President Trump that the election was stolen from him.

All of this while in Los Angeles County, the death toll of people infected by coronavirus continues to climb, hospitals pushed to their limit of capacity, mortuaries and funeral homes capped with a surplus of deceased bodies on hold, small businesses closing in record numbers, schools closed with no opening in site, churches banned from offering services and the list goes on.

Dr. King foretold of how poison deep rooted racism was to our nation in ‘The Other America’ some 53 years ago.

“And we’ve got to see that this still exists in American society. And until it is removed, there will be people walking the streets of life and living in their humble dwellings feeling that they are nobody, feeling that they have no dignity and feeling that they are not respected. The first thing that must be on the agenda of our nation is to get rid of racism.”

2021 Council Meetings Resumes Traffic Light Needed: Manchester at Cedar

By Francis Taylor, Senior Correspondent

Over the year-end shutdown, the City of Inglewood experienced yet another vehicular accident that resulted in the death of an Inglewood resident at the intersection of Manchester Boulevard and Cedar Avenue, across the street from Bravo’s restaurant. The family of the deceased asks the city to consider the installation of a traffic light because drivers frequently ignore the flashing lights that are activated by pedestrians waiting to cross the street. This writer is aware of two of his Queen Street neighbors who were killed at that intersection. It is time for the council

to act to end the tragic loss of life that results from vehicles that fail to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.

The council conducted a public hearing to consider an ordinance amending Inglewood Municipal Code, Chapter 11, pertaining to building regulations.

The council approved a second amendment to Agreement No. 20-031 (the California Cities Gaming Authority Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement) to admit the City of San Jose as a Member and an agreement with Grow Cycling Foundation for the installation of a Pump Track at Edward Vincent Park at

no cost.

The council approved Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 21-028 with 40 Love Foundation, Incorporated for Tennis Management Services to incorporate the hourly rate of one coaching staff not listed in the original agreement.

The council approved a Waiver and General Release for retired Police Canine, Zoran and an agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to accept State funding from Caltrans in the amount of $72,000.

The council approved an Advance

Funding Agreement with Murphy’s Bowl LLC (Developer) to fund the demolition of Inglewood Well No. 6 in the total amount of $127,495 for the Well No. 6 Destruction and Site Demolition Project.

The council awarded a contract with Best Drilling and Pump, Inc. to provide demolition services for the Well No. 6 Destruction and Site Demolition Project, per Bid No. CB-20-13.

Former Parent Elementary Teacher is Promoted to Dean Inglewood Today News

Mr. Roy Thomas was a 2nd-5th grade teacher at Frank D. Parent Elementary school in Inglewood, California for six years prior to making the transition to the city of Carson to teach 6th-12th grade at Magnolia Science Academy-3 (MSA-3) in 2006. At the time, MSA3, part of the Magnolia Public Schools network of schools, was a brand-new charter school on the campus of Curtis Elementary School.

MSA-3 came with a new set of challenges for Thomas, including supporting a large portion of socioeconomic disadvantaged families.

“Honestly, I wanted to start teaching and supporting kids from the inner city that I could prepare for College,” said Thomas.

In 2019, Thomas was promoted to Dean of Students at MSA-3 after winning two NAACP awards for Teacher of The Year and publishing his book, “Seed to Success.”

Since the pandemic, Thomas has worked diligently to make sure all

students are learning in virtually. Like many schools across the nation, MSA3 received the Cares Act funding.

However, unlike many, MSA-3 opted to use the funding to purchase each student a Chromebook laptop and a portable WIFI device to close the digital divide.

Thomas stated, “Our Principal is fantastic, he made the call to purchase the technology. Prior to this decision, many students did not have laptops or Wi-Fi.” Although it has been a challenging since the pandemic broke out for MSA-

3 students and staff, MSA-3s Principal Mr. Zekeriya Ocel and Magnolia Public Schools CEO & Superintendent Alfredo Rubalcava have committed to ensuring every student has the tools to succeed in their classes and not fall behind.

Magnolia Students are still passing at a 95% rate; however, their overall grades have fallen. Students who previously received A’s are now getting B’s and students who previously received B’s are getting more C’s. Staff has also been impacted, especially those teaching Special Education and English Learners. As a result, Thomas alongside

MSA-3 leadership have rolled out free counseling to all staff members to address these challenges.

There is good news, there has been a significant improvement with students from the Spring 2020 semester to the Fall 2020 semester. “Now that students are into their third semester of online classes and have adapted to virtual learning, we are confident their grades will bounce back,” said Thomas.

Presently, Thomas is overseeing the COVID-19 reopening plan with the Magnolia Public School home office.

He is heading up the committee to make sure everything is in alignment with and follows local and state health guidelines. The safety of MSA-3s students, families, and staff continues to be of the utmost importance to Thomas.

Aaron Donald: “No pain. I feel healthy.”

By Stu Jackson, Therams.com

Those were Rams head coach Sean McVay’s words on Tuesday when asked about the status of defensive lineman Aaron Donald as Donald deals with a rib injury.

Donald doesn’t know when McVay began calling him that, but being the machine he is, he does know this: He will be ready to go for Saturday’s divisional round playoff game against the Packers in Green Bay. (1:35 p.m.

Report: Chargers have spoken to Urban Meyer

There’s been a lot of talk about Urban Meyer becoming the next head coach of the Jaguars, but it appears that may not be his only NFL option.

NFL Media reports that the Chargers and Meyer have spoken recently. The report adds that there has not been a formal interview at this point, but that Meyer’s desire to explore every option is part of the reason why things with the Jaguars remain open.

Moving onto an interview would suggest that the momentum that appeared to be pushing him to the Jaguars has hit a snag and that Meyer is a real option to take over in Justin Herbert‘s second season.

PT, FOX).

“No pain,” Donald said during a video conference with reporters Wednesday.

“I feel healthy.”

Donald sustained the rib injury with 10:04 remaining in the third quarter of last Saturday’s wild card game, and he said it was a result of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson fell on him and “the way my body twisted” as the play ended.

“At first it was just like, dang, you

know? You didn’t know superman could get hurt,’” Rams defensive lineman Michael Brockers said, when asked about his reaction to Donald’s injury. “Stop playing, get up, you can breathe. Seeing him, he was like, ‘bruh, I don’t know,’ I was like, ‘Oh man, this is serious.’”

Donald initially went to the locker room but later returned to the Rams’ sideline. While he didn’t go back onto the field, Donald emphasized the injury

all to wash their hands, observe social distancing guidelines and wear your mask to minimize the spread of COVID-19.

Member Morales acknowledged the challenges of the preceding year and the loss of those whose lives have been lost to the Pandemic. He specifically mentioned, among others, the Dee Dee Brown, wife of Inglewood Today founder and executive publisher Willie Brown, who succumbed to Covid-19.

Mayor Butts cited the senseless murder that recently occurred in Darby Park and announced the establishment of a $25,000 reward to help identify the killer. He also provided a summary of the improvements in the Inglewood Police Department that has resulted in the overall decline of killings in the City of Inglewood, citing the $11 million investment in public safety.

Finally, an item that was emailed to the City Clerk’s office that did not make it to the council meeting was the request that the council install a traffic light at the intersection of Manchester Boulevard and Cedar Avenue following the recent vehicular accident that resulted in the death of an Inglewood resident.

bombs were placed on and around the Capitol grounds. They chanted “Hang Mike Pence” and “Where is Nancy” and were willing to do anything they could to overturn a free and fair election, even if it meant overthrowing a free and fair democracy.

“While Members of Congress and their staff were in secret locations and the insurrectionists were intent on locating leading members of our government, Donald Trump posted a video, in which he had the audacity to remind them that they had his support, saying, “We love you, you’re very special.” His message of love for the domestic terrorists storming the Capitol Building was one of the most despicable, cowardly acts by a United States president in the history of our nation. By allying himself with the seditious domestic enemies of the United States, while a siege was in progress, this president committed a treasonous act akin to those who threw themselves behind the Confederate forces after the bombardment of Fort Sumter, which began the Civil War in 1861. The insurrection Trump incited and supported led to six deaths including two police officers and a woman who had posted about putting myself and other members of our government on notice.

wasn’t serious.

“Man, my damn side is just sore,” Donald said, when asked for specifics.

“I’m good.”

The recently-named First Team All-Pro selection finished with three total tackles (two for loss), two sacks and three QB hits prior to exiting last week’s game. Given where his health is now, and with three days between now and the Rams’ next game, he feels he’ll be ready to go for this week’s game against the Packers.

“I ain’t going to go out there if I feel like I can’t help these guys win,” Donald said. “The way I’m feeling right now, and then it’s only Wednesday and we’ve got until Saturday, I’m not too worried about it.”

McVay said they planned to “rest him the whole week and be as smart as possible” with him. At the same time, “he was just in there getting a workout in the weight room,” McVay said, “and he looked like he’s feeling pretty good to me.”

Donald said he doesn’t know if he will wear any sort of protective gear around his ribs, but stressed that he’s healthy.

“All I can tell you right now is I feel good, I feel strong, and I’ll be ready come Saturday,” Donald said.

“In response to the tragedy of January 6, 2021, I drafted H. Res. 34, which contains four articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump, one each for the following separate abuses of power: conspiring to commit sedition by inciting an insurrection; corrupting the electoral process; violating the emoluments clauses of the Constitution, which protect against presidential corruption; and obstruction of justice.

“These insurrectionists came with one goal and one purpose – to overturn a United States election, overthrow the federal government, and hold hostage the democratic process by either occupying the Capitol building, kidnapping members of Congress, or both. Let no person mistake their failure to achieve their goals as any indication that the danger was not legitimate, that the national security of the United States was not compromised, and that the conspiracy to commit sedition against our country should not be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It is now our duty to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again and that the very man who fueled an insurrection is held accountable.

“I look forward to a conviction in the Senate. Now is the time to act. The future of our democracy depends on it.”

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Small Business Administration has already forgiven more than 1.1 million Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for over $100 billion, providing an extraordinary amount of critical relief to America’s small businesses just 3 months since the earliest PPP borrowers’ covered periods ended.

How blessed are we to be alive for such an incredible turning point in history? Obama was the first black man to be the most powerful person in the World since the Moorish Empire (711-1492), and now, we are days away from the first black woman ruling the World in the Common Era. The last woman to rule the World was Queen Elizabeth also known as Good Queen Bess in the 1600’s; however, the last Black woman to rule the known World traces back to Ancient Egypt.

To this day, scholars still debate about the ethnicity and skin complexion of Cleopatra, so we will not count her, but Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, Sobekneferu, and more there are drawings and statues on display around the World that clearly portrays them as melaninated African women.

So, what took us so long to get here? It is easy to blame slavery and white supremacy, after all the opposite of a white man is a Black Woman, and he has set up his western civilization where his opposite, a black woman, is at the bottom of society. Although this is Continued....

an astute observation, this is not the answer either because black women or women in general are oppressed in mostly every culture.

Recently I read Caste by Isabel Wilkerson and she says that Europeans learned sexism and racism from the Indians. India has had a Caste System since 2500 B.C. She claimed that racism and sexism as we know it did not exist in Western Civilization until 1492, after the Moorish empire fell, Christopher Columbus “discovered” the Americas. After discovering the Americas, he then went on to India for their spices, and while visiting he learned about their Caste system and how to apply it to his newfound land.

Dark people were at the bottom of the Caste and women were below men; subsequently dark women were the untouchable of the untouchables, the lowest of the lowest caste.

However, Chinese men, Japanese men and even African Men historically have oppressed their women. The men women dynamic has always made me

re-opened for new and certain existing PPP borrowers, and we encourage you to take advantage of the PPP to keep your workers on payroll, regardless of any local economic restrictions on your operations. SBA is continuing to work around the clock to forgive existing PPP loans and implement the next phase of this vital Program.”

The SBA has so far received 1,346,125 forgiveness applications for approximately $170.5 billion. SBA has made payment on nearly 85% of the applications, forgiving over $100 billion. For the smallest borrowers with loans up to $50,000, 88% have been approved for forgiveness.

The new data comes as the Paycheck Protection Program has recently reopened as a result of the Economic Aid to Hard Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits and Venues Act, signed into law by President Trump on Dec. 27, 2020. The Act added operational expenditures, certain property damage costs, supplier costs and worker protection expenditures, such as drivethrough areas, ventilation and sneeze guards, as eligible expenses as well.

The SBA provides PPP Forgiveness Submission & Payment Metrics, as well as Paycheck Protection Program reports, online at www.sba.gov/ppp.

think of a famous Lauryn Hill line, “Why for you to increase, I must decrease.”

After all, women hold up half the sky. I now believe America is truly on its way to being the greatest country that ever existed. I feel this way because of a book I recently read about Queen Hatshepsut by Kara Cooney.

She described Egypt’s greatest reign was when a Woman became King. I wonder if similarly, to our country if the Egyptian empire appeared to be in disarray and then a woman came along to save the day. The Egyptian empire lasted 3000 years, but it was not until 1500 B.C. that they decided to make a Woman Pharaoh.

Hatshepsut came along well before Jesus Christ who saved the World, but I do believe she saved Egypt. Her reign was known as Egypt’s Golden Age. During the Golden Age, Egypt focused on rebuilding its infrastructure, and there are no known wars during her reign as well. It was her reign that gave the next male Pharaoh the confidence of World Domination. From that point on, Egypt began to rotate male and

female leaders so the feminine energy could focus on the details of the internal kingdom and the masculine energy could focus on the power and control of the external kingdom and expansion.

Because of Hatshepsut Egypt stayed in power an additional 1500 years, longer than any other empire outside the Chinese empire. Ironically, Egypt also fell during a woman’s reign who I believe chose to use her masculine energy to rule instead of her feminine energy. Cleopatra the seventh was vastly different than every Queen before her, and Egypt paid the price.

I hope Kamala Harris can follow the ancient women like Queen Hatshepsut and get America to focus on its infrastructure by improving our education system and providing affordable healthcare. I also hope that during her reign women, especially black women, RETURN TO OUR GRACE. It is time to pick up our crowns, and stop disrespect, self-hate and degrading of ourselves because A QUEEN HAS RETURNED TO THE THRONE!
