At Morehouse College, students and faculty were divided over inviting President Joe Biden to receive an honorary degree and give a speech at the school's commencement ceremony. Morehouse valedictorian DeAngelo Fletcher, who had a Palestinian flag affixed to his graduation cap, called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza during his speech, and assistant professor of sociology Taura Taylor stood with her fist raised, facing away from Biden as he addressed the crowd. "I wanted to take it upon myself to, one, stand up for my principles, and then also kind of stand in solidarity for my students as well as my other fellow faculty members who felt that we were caught in this moment where it seemed like we, as a community, selected Biden, when we all did not," says Taylor. We also speak with Samuel Livingston, an associate professor of Africana studies, who held a flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo behind Biden as he spoke. "We held up the flag because the people of the Congo do not get enough media attention in terms of the active genocide that the United States is supporting through its support of Rwanda," says Livingston. "Congo deserves justice, reparations from the United States for the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, conspiring in that assassination, and the people today deserve a country that is built on peace and justice."

Trump is known as a liar, but Biden has learned lying from trump. Genocide Biden is a charlatan once tells cease-fire and stop military aid to US-backed terrorist state of Israel and the day afterward sent one billion dollar military aid to us-backed terrorist state of Israel.

Biden's Results For The American People Signed the Electoral Count Act, which takes long overdue steps to protect the integrity of our elections Two strongest years of job growth in history More than 40 million borrowers stand to benefit from student debt relief Nearly 15 million jobs created since 2021 Taken over 100 actions to lower household energy costs by $100 per year More People Are Working Than At Any Point in American History As a result of President Biden’s economic plan, 2021 and 2022 were the two strongest years of job growth in history. Nearly 14 million jobs have been created since President Biden took office - including 800,000 manufacturing jobs. The unemployment rate is at a 50-year low, and a record number of small businesses have started since President Biden took office. Black Americans and Hispanic Americans have record low unemployment rates and people with disabilities are experiencing record low unemployment.

Both parties have the same exact policy of creating unlivable conditions around the world for resource extraction and geopolitical control while fueling the detention center industry (mostly run by Israel or American companies) that make huge profits by allowing massive amount of people through so they can be hunted recreationally by racist sociopaths and people pleasers. This is an INDUSTRY. They could easily just enforce border security in a rational and humane way but that wouldn’t feed the rich or fuel division.

Australian protesters have blocked the roads leading to Pine Gap, a US satellite intelligence gathering facility. They are protesting against the US support for Israel's actions, including alleged involvement in terror attacks and war crimes in Gaza and Rafah. The protesters argue that the US and Israel are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Many Australians are expressing anger over the presence of US military bases in Australia, as they claim they never had the opportunity to vote on this matter. "Aboriginals want their land back. The native title claim to Pine Gap demands the departure of the Americans, as the US has endangered the sacred land of Pine Gap with nuclear threats of US aggression towards China. The US anti-China policy in Australia. It's almost as if the US media is obsessed with portraying China in a negative light, which is both creepy and laughable. The US wants to turn Australia into another Ukraine. The US media should be held to account they don't even express remorse for things that they got wrong and done wrong."

I watched the Morehouse Commencement and I was definitely proud to see so many Black Men achieve their degrees. I have to say, I was disappointed to see a flag raised behind the President, and frankly found it disrespectful to the President, and the United States. You can express your discontent with US Foreign Policy but do so in a manner that is respectful to the country. The reality is there is always the innocent that suffer doing war. How many innocent Afghan died due to war against the Taliban? How many innocent Iraqi died due to the war in Iraq? The suffering in Palastine is heartbreaking, but the evil of the Israeli government is not a unique one. All war introduces this suffering… Does anyone actually think that Trump or even Obama would be doing anything different? The US Policy is to support Israel because their presence in the Middle East is in the country’s best interest. Hard stop. The speech by the Valedictorian was awesome. He made his discontent with US Foreign policy known but did so in a manner that did not tarnish honor of the country nor the office of the President.
