Psalm 23 2
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth
me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

John 14:1-10 2
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not March 21,thou 2020goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and whither the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Georgia on cusp of delivering Senate to Democrats as Rev. Warnock wins, Ossoff leads Perdue Democrats won one U.S. Senate race in Georgia and led in another on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, moving closer to a sweep in a deep South state that would give them control of Congress and the power to advance President-elect Joe Biden’s policy goals. Raphael Warnock, a Baptist preacher from the historic church of Martin Luther King, Jr., beat Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler to become the first Black senator in Georgia’s history. Jon Ossoff, a documentary filmmaker who at 33 would become the Senate’s youngest member, also declared victory with a narrow lead over incumbent David Perdue, although media including Edison Research had yet to call that race. If upheld, the results would amount to a final defeat for outgoing President Donald Trump, who stands to be the first U.S. president since 1932 to lose the White House and both chambers of Congress in a single term. Trump held rallies for both Republican candidates, but overshadowed the campaign with false accusations his own loss in the November presidential election in Georgia was tainted by fraud, repeatedly attacking Republican officials in the state.
The election signaled a shift in the politics of Georgia and the wider deep South. Black voters, the most reliable Democratic supporters in the region, turned out in numbers unprecedented for a run-off vote.
Rev. Raphael Warnock With 98 percent of votes in and counting mostly stopped for the night, Warnock was ahead of Loeffler by 1.2 percentage points, roughly 54,000 votes, according to Edison Research. Ossoff led Perdue by more than 16,000 votes, or 0.4 percentage points, just shy of a 0.5 percent threshold to avoid a recount. Most outstanding votes were from Democratic-leaning areas. Winning both contests would give Democrats control of the Senate, creating a 50-50 split and giving Vice President-elect Kamala Harris the tie-breaking vote once she and Biden take office on Jan. 20. The party already has a narrow majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Holding on to either seat would have effectively giv-

During the campaign, Republicans had painted Ossoff and Warnock as radicals who would pursue a hardleft agenda. But that message failed to resonate with many white suburbanites who have increasingly abandoned the Republican party under Trump. Trump’s flailing efforts to overturn his own defeat move to Congress later on Wednesday, when Vice President Mike Pence was due to preside over the counting of electoral votes to certify Biden’s victory. Trump has called on Pence to throw out the results in states he narrowly lost, although Pence has no authority to do so. Some Republican lawmakers have said they will try to reject some state tallies, a move that stands no chance of success but which could force debate and drag out the certification process. Trump’s supporters plan to rally in the streets of Washington, with the city bracing for potential violence. Police banned the leader of a farright group from the city and made several arrests as protests ramped up on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.

Social justice issues in America: Racial profiling and economic inequity As we begin a new year, this column will turn its focus to social justice issues in America as it is recognized there are still some very serious social justice issues that must be addressed. Social justice issues can range from issues involving one’s race to inequality in education, healthcare and economic injustice, etc. Since America has a long history with race issues, this week, I will begin with racial profiling followed by a brief look at economic inequity. Racial Profiling. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) defines racial profiling as discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual’s race, ethnicity, religion or nation origin.”1 Racial profiling is a longstanding and deeply troubling national problem despite claims that the U.S. has entered a post-racial era. Racial profiling occurs every day, in cities and towns across the country. Racial profiling is based on the false assumption that: • People of color are most of the drug users and sellers.
as a whole, shows that even the mundane everyday beliefs and behaviors are contributing to rising inequality. What we wear and how we speak, for example, can determine whether an employer hires us or not, whether we succeed in networking or not. The report indicated that participants from across the U.S. successfully guessed a speaker’s social class hearing them speak just seven words, out of context. This is a real problem if a person is on a job interview or at a college admissions interview. Discrimination in these and many other areas can create the slippery slope of economic inequality.
• People of color commit “most” crime. This does not consider that corporate and white collar crimes are not investigated and prosecuted as seriously as “street crimes” even though they cost victims and taxpayers billions of dollars.2

Northcott Neighborhood House, Inc., hosts candlelight vigil for 2020 homicide victims
Photos by Kim A. Robinson
On Wednesday, December 30, 2020 Northcott Neighborhood House, Inc. hosted its annual "Milwaukee Lights a Candle for Change: Candlelight Vigil For 2020 Homicide Victims," at El-Bethel Church of God in Christ, 5401 W. Good Hope Road. As it does every year, the vigil led by Northcott Executive Director Tony Kearney and Tamara Hoyans, a candle is lit representing a life lost to violence in 2020. Each person sitting inside the church came with a hole in their heart. Because of the pandemic organizers had to limit the number of people who could attend but did broadcast the event via the web on Facebook and Youtube. With a historic number of people killed in Milwaukee, it took readers about 10 minutes to say each person's name out loud. Amoung those speaking at the event were Dr. Nina Mack-Cain, Camille Mays, Torre Johnson, Reggie Moore, Pastor Marty Calderon, Tammy Xiong, Congresswoman Gwen Moore, Alderwoman Chantia Lewis, Pastor Joseph Jackson, with Sister Roase Stiets and Pastor Greg Lewis of Pastors United reading the names, and El-Bethel Church Pastor Steven Tipton offering a prayer for the families and the victims.
According to the Milwaukee Police Department, there have been 184 homicides in 2020 from January 1 through December 6, compared to 92 homicides in 2019 during the same period.
Prosecutor declines to charge officer who shot Jacob Blake
The Kenosha County District Attorney has declined to file criminal charges against the police officer who shot Jacob Blake. Rusten Sheskey will not face charges in the shooting of Jacob Blake, Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley announced Tuesday, January 5, 2021. Sheskey, a White officer, shot Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, seven times while responding to a domestic incident on August 23, 2020. Blake survived the shooting but was left paralyzed from the waist down. "It is my decision now that no Kenosha law enforcement officer will be charged with any criminal offense based on the facts and laws," Graveley said Tuesday. Tuesday's announcement comes as anger continues to mount across the country at the repeated deaths of Black people at the hands of police. The summer of 2020 saw protests -- some of which turned violent -- calling for police reform and an end to police brutality, sparked by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others. Graveley announced there will be no charges for the other two officers involved in the incident. They were identified by the Wisconsin Justice Department in September as Officers Vincent Arenas and Brittany www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
ment Tuesday. "It's not against the law to have a knife, people have knives for a variety of different reasons. Jacob Blake is privy to having a knife." Graveley said he called on the US Attorney's Office to do a parallel civil rights investigation that would be a separate investigation with its own conclusion. Meronek. All officers involved in Blake's shooting are still on administrative leave, the Kenosha Police Department tweeted late Tuesday. Blake will also not face charges, Graveley said. Sheskey told investigators that he used deadly force during the chaotic encounter because he was afraid Blake, while attempting to flee the scene, was trying to kidnap a child in the back seat of the vehicle. The Wisconsin Department of Justice had said Blake had a knife in his possession and the weapon was found on the floorboard of his vehicle. Blake himself told authorities he possessed a knife, Graveley said. "Jacob Blake, while actively resisting, arms himself
with a knife," Graveley said, adding that he's heard supporters of Blake say he was unarmed. "It's absolutely incontrovertible that Jacob Blake was armed with a knife during this encounter. ... All the discussion that he's unarmed contradicts even what he himself has said multiple times." An attorney for Blake's family disputed that Blake posed a threat. "There was no point in the video that is articulable for an officer to say that he was under harm at that particular point. I think that's completely bogus and I think that is just a rationalization to try to show what is really, essentially, an intentional act," attorney B'Ivory LaMarr said in a news conference shortly after Graveley's announce-
Blake's father, Jacob Blake Sr., on Monday called for charges against the officer while urging Kenosha to "stand up and make some noise." He added, "Let's be heard around the world.

While many are extremely concerned about the new strain of the coronavirus, the fact of the matter is, a virus mutating is nothing new. Viruses, like most living beings, adapt and mutate to survive. Sometimes new variants emerge and disappear. Other times, new variants emerge and persist. Multiple variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 have been documented in the United States and globally during this pandemic. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a type of coronavirus, a large family of viruses. Coronaviruses are named for the crown-like spikes on their surfaces. Scientists monitor changes in
the virus, including changes to the spikes on the surface of the virus. These studies, including genetic analyses of the virus, are helping us understand how changes to the virus might affect how it spreads and what happens to people who are infected with it. Multiple COVID-19 variants are circulating globally In the United Kingdom (UK), a new variant has emerged with an unusually large number of mutations. This variant seems to spread more easily and quickly than other variants. Currently, there is no evidence that it

At the moment, the new strain should not cause any additional concern. Utilizing the same prevention methods -washing your hands and wearing a mask – are said to be enough protection from novel COVID-19 variants. The new strain is being monitored closely. The CDC is working to detect and characterize emerging viral variants and expand its ability to look for COVID-19 and new variants.
