Hello Readers,
New York Attorney General Letitia James has sued former President and his family members on fraud claims. The lawsuit is for $250 million. There’s 49 days before the general election on November 8, 2022. There are two divisions in the Republican Party. One is Donald Trump endorsed candidates and the other is anti-Trump candidates. The Trump era is still going on and Trump might surprise the Democrats.
The Democrats must win at least one additional seat in the Senate to gain easy running of the Senate. So far, the Senate and House are divided into two groups. I don’t think anyone cares about the people, but they all close their eyes and vote for the party bosses. Once elected in any party, they should have to represent the people, not the party. I think we should take blind voting and see the results. Blind voting means every representative will vote with their conscience for the benefit of the people.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has raised interest rates .75 percent to control inflation. The inflation rate for this quarter is going to be 8.3%. The unemployment rate is about 3.5%, which is lower than expected. Powell said that the interest rate hike in three consecutive months by .75% will impact the economy and it will slow demand and reduce hiring and spending. We will see the impact in the near future. This continuous fed rate hike will definitely bring a recession, which we all will have to suffer.
Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo announced that the new sports complex in Vailsburg Park will be named after retired State Senator Ronald Rice. Ronald Rice was the longest serving African American Senator in the state of New Jersey. I commend DiVincenzo for honoring Rice while in his presence. The new athletic field at Vailsburg Park is still under construction.
ABC Boston news: “A group says it is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and others over what it is calling a ‘fraudulent and discriminatory scheme’ to transport nearly 50 Venezuelan migrants from San Antonio, Texas to the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard without shelter or resources in place….”
“No human being should be used as a political pawn in the nation’s highly polarized debate over immigration,” Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal, executive director of Lawyers for Civil Rights, said in a statement.”
The governors of Florida and Texas (non-sanctuary states) are sending illegal immigrants to many sanctuary cities in the northeast. Florida Governor DeSantis said, “In flying 50 immigrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, it’s better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction, and yes, we will help facilitate that transport for you, to be able to go to greener pastures.”
According to BBC news, Queen Elizabeth’s final journey surpassed one million people paying their respects. Prince Charles became King Charles III. Everyone has welcomed Charles to be king. However, time will tell the world’s acceptance of a king in the new era.
Have a wonderful week. I’ll talk to you next week.
