Pointing Out Politicians

Here's something to think about regarding censorship and Afghanistan.

Pramila Jayapal is a Congresswoman from the state of Washington. Apparently, Representative Jayapal believes that individual behavior regarding the "fear" of others can be better controlled by increased legislation.

Cynthia A Johnson just can't seem to keep from tripping over herself on Facebook. Recently, the Detroit lawmaker was stripped of committees on which she served. Now, she faces disciplinary proceedings from the Michigan House after a video was posted in which she threatened Trump supporters. In that video she said: "So this is just a warning to you Trumpers: be careful, walk lightly. We ain't playing with you. enough of the shenanigans. Enough. It's enough - and for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. be in order, make them pay." Seems to be the mainstream message of the Democrats at this point. Those who support or have supported Donald Trump should be remembered and punished for their insolence. In the video clip shown in this post, Representative Johnson is giving a seemingly heartfelt message in regards to illegal immigrants and their children being separated at the border. There is passion in her voice. She grimaces in supposed agony. It seems like the pain is so great that she is crying. But is she really? Do you see any tears? What I noticed is that Ms. Cynthia A. Johnson spent that part of the video faking. She was trying her best to evoke some type of emotion from the view to emphasize her supposed cause. But it gets worse. Let's talk about what she said. She basically blamed the "atrocities" of children being separated from the parents at the border on the United States government and, more specifically, on Donald Trump. In her eyes, the parents have done absolutely nothing wrong. But, the question is this. What, Senator Johnson, would you like to happen when someone is apprehended attempting to illegally immigrant to this country? I would really like to know. What would your plan be? So often, politicians in this country get away with whining and complaining without having to reveal their true intent. If they even have one. How can you have an intelligent conversation without truly defining the issue? In short, Senator Cynthia A Johnson is, in my opinion, a little off. We see that in the actions that led to her being stripped of her senate committee duties. What do you think the Cynthia Johnson threat really meant? How does she want Trump supporters to pay? I believe Former Republican House Majority Leader Rocky Raczkowski was correct when he said that her tone and language is hypocritical after what she claims happened to her. In his words, "For her to call the police to show those voicemails of threats and then turn around and they do exactly the same thing that she found hurtful against people that voted for President Trump, or supported President Trump, is uncalled for."

You watched Joe Biden lie to our faces and no one batted an eye. Even worse, the media was right there and refused to hold him accountable over it, isn't that their job?! Why is it that a politician can lie and still "come out on top", I'll tell you why in this video! Website: https://www.pointingoutpoliticans.com Podcast: https://anchor.fm/sherman-rivers8 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzKrW6cfjKK6Fja5y80Ytxw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Pointing-Out-Politicians Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pointingoutpoliticians LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shermanrivers/ On two distinct occasions (both in this video), Joe Biden outright lied when accused of saying something that he said in front of a camera. There is actual audio and video footage of him saying it! That's a serious problem if you ask me and that problem goes much deeper than you might first think. Bernie sanders put him on the spot regarding cuts to social security, veterans benefits, and more... Biden's response was to lie. You have to give Bernie Sanders credit for the way that he handled it. He was much more gracious than I would have been, lol. Bernie Sanders gave Joe Biden a way out and it still took multiple attempts at sparing him before Biden caught on and tried to change the subject. Donald Trump put Joe Biden on the spot for his comments that he made while speaking to military personnel. Biden referred to the personnel as "Stupid Bastards". Now, we can sit around all day talking about context and what he really meant. The context clues point to his not being serious. That's not what's most important to me. What is most important to me is the fact that he lied about it. In either case, rather than clearing it up IMMEDIATELY, Joe Biden's response has been to "default to the lie." Why? I believe that people's true nature tends to show itself when the pressure is on. And, this shows us that Joe Biden, and other politicians like him, are comfortable lying to the American people...right in front of our faces.

Michigan State Representative Cynthia A Johnson experienced what appears to be some serious backlash for her actions during the Michigan election fraud hearings. Whether you agree with her actions or not, you would probably agree that it all got a bit out of hand. They are questions about what she really meant when she said "make them pay". What did C A Johnson mean by that? It gets a little more complex when you ask the questions about things that most people made assumptions about. Questions like: What is a trumper? Make them pay how? Who are the soldiers? It was reminiscent of when Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) alluded to something similar. In conversations with others, there seemed to be two distinct position. Some said she was the victim. Others seemed to think it was the other way around. What do you think?

Joe Biden mentioned that his intent is to rejoin the WHO on day one should he be declared the ultimate winner of the presidential election 2020 and become the 46th President of the United States. My question is, "why did the United States leave the World Health Organization in the first place?" https://youtu.be/fNNpYsM_yXc Why is Joe Biden so anxious to rejoin the World Health Organization?

My question is, "why did the United States leave the World Health Organization in the first place?". I was under the impression that Trump didn't want to fund an organization that he felt wasn't open, honest, and cooperative as well as China's influence on the organization. Was that an incorrect conclusion? In normal business negotiations, the threat of not doing business with another person or entity is a real source of power. Does it make sense to give that up? If we rejoined the World Health Organization immediately without demanding certain concessions, what leverage do we have at that point? Joe Biden, in his own words, said that, "...it's about making sure that China understands that they have to play by the rules...". With the United States supplying 14% of the financing at or around 400 million dollars, doesn't the loss of that give us a little bit of leverage in gaining compliance? When Bonny Glaser (an "expert" with the Center for Strategic & International Studies) asked Dr, Jeremy Youde (Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota Duluth) about China's influence in the WHO, he talked about the "responsibility" China had gained in the organization. Where I come from "responsibility" means the ability to respond. That requires both power and influence. Apparently, that influence was equal to or greater than the influence wielded but President Trump. What's your take on the whole situation? Should the United States immediately rejoin the World Health organization if Joe Biden become the 46th President of the United States? Or, should we utilize our presence, contributions, and pocket book as leverage to ensure those changes take place? He said, "...it needs reform, I acknowledge...". If that's his true "judgement" why would he want to rejoin on day one without leveraging our position to make at least some of those reforms happen before rejoining?

https://pointingoutpoliticians.com/michigan-senator-cynthia-a-johnson-ballot-hearings/ The Michigan Senate held hearings regarding the possibility of fraudulent activities during the counting of the ballots in that state. Senator Cynthia A. Johnson was disruptive during the proceedings while Hima Kolanagireddy was offering her testimony. It was supposed to be an opportunity for witnesses who had signed sworn affidavits to offer testimony as to what they had witnessed. Sounds simple enough doesn't it? Actually, something that was supposed to be simple turned into a process that was much more difficult than it needed to be. That happens a lot in politics. Usually it's because one or both sides refuses to engage in a straightforward way OR they have a different agenda OR they simply don't understand the process in the first place. I think we see a little bit of all of that in this video. A senate hearing is defined as a meeting or session of a Senate, House, joint, or special committee of Congress, usually open to the public, to obtain information and opinions on proposed legislation, conduct an investigation, or evaluate/oversee the activities of a government department or the implementation of a Federal law. Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Attorney Jenna Ellis were granted the hearing by the Michigan Senate. In this case, the focus of the senate hearing was investigation. Investigation into the happenings during the ballot counting operation. Cynthia A. Johnson must have missed that. Or, did Senator Johnson simply ignore that because of some other reason? An odd moment was when she talked about "allegations". She said it as if it was a bad thing. On the contrary, an allegation is simply a claim or assertion that someone has done something illegal or wrong, typically one made without proof. Is that a bad thing? To put it into better context, a person who had been a victim of a violent crime (and lived) might make an allegation to that fact. So, let's just say the attacker came from behind and the victim could not identify them. Would that mean the crime never occurred? Or, would that mean we should hear them out? From there we could look at the specific evidence, circumstantial evidence, and even the sheer number of witness testimonies to come to the conclusion as to whether or not we should investigate the alleged crime further. That's how we get to the bottom of things. In the land of legalities, there will always be those who care more about their agenda that whether the truth is ever revealed. We see it all the time in court where one side knows the others side is valid but doesn't care, they just want to win the case. But this wasn't a court case, it was a hearing. So, as often is the case, a person with an opposing viewpoint might go in another direction that is all too common. They seek to silence voices that offer an opposing view or narrative. That's what Senator Cynthia A. Johnson did. She didn't want these witnesses to be heard. She wanted them silenced. When Hima Kolanagireddy, an Indian American witness was trying to speak, Senato Johnson complained. What's interesting to note is her reasons for complaining. 1. She spoke about witnesses "sharing and speaking and speaking...". That alone gives you an idea of her opinions about free speech. Senator Johnson made sure to mention that the world was watching. Almost sounds as if she doesn't like the idea of the world knowing what Hima had to say. 2. Senator Johnson complained about those giving testimony not being under oath. That's not how a senate hearing is conducted in Michigan. You would think that, as a senator, Cynthia A. Johnson might know that. That is compounded by the fact that those giving testimony had signed sworn affidavits under penalty of perjury. In any case, this gives you a little insight into some of the political buffoonery that goes on in the United States of America. It also gives you a little insight into the mindset of Senator Cynthia A Johnson, Democrat from Detroit, Michigan. In any case, these are trying times for all involved. It helps when we all come from a place (or at least try) of logic and reason. When it becomes overly emotional, it becomes a lot more difficult to get things done. If you'd like to get an even better idea of Senator Johnson's mindset, look her up on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/cynthia.a.johnson.39 Website: https://www.pointingoutpoliticans.com Podcast: https://anchor.fm/sherman-rivers8 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzKrW6cfjKK6Fja5y80Ytxw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Pointing-Out-Politicians Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pointingoutpoliticians LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shermanrivers/

https://pointingoutpoliticians.com I'm often confronted with stereotypical assumptions regarding race and politics in America. As an "African American", I find it all a bit confusing and I'm inclined to think that is by design. All too often focus and emphasis seems to be placed on things that are, for the most part insignificant and in the best case not as important as we as Americans are led to believe. Have you noticed that, in the midst of a supposed push for progress, our attention is constantly directed to the past? If so, you are probably a lot like me in concluding that most often it completely ignores or discounts the tremendous progress that has been made in this country. The United States is far from perfect. To that end, when compared to the other countries we could be living in, it remains the best place in the world to be a citizen. Of course, this is just my opinion. Being American is not about being a race, it is about prescribing to a culture, the American culture. The American culture is about freedom, liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. Don't get me wrong. race has played and is playing a significant role in American life and politics but I truly believe the issues with race in America have been intentionally amplified. That was done to serve a purpose. Political aims, ambitions, and goals play no small part in that. Let's talk about it: Website: https://www.pointingoutpoliticans.com Podcast: https://anchor.fm/sherman-rivers8 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzKrW6cfjKK6Fja5y80Ytxw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Pointing-Out-Politicians Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pointingoutpoliticians LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shermanrivers/

In a recent live stream regarding a "meeting with Governors" , Joe Biden mentioned the need for getting 330 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccines into the arms of Americans. Just out of curiosity, what does that sound like to you? Join the conversation: Website: https://www.pointingoutpoliticans.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzKrW6cfjKK6Fja5y80Ytxw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Pointing-Out-Politicians Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pointingoutpoliticians LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shermanrivers/ This isn't about whether or not you think vaccines are effective. Nor is it about any other issue regarding them. This question is about choice and openness about intention. I'm certainly not one to downplay the threat of the covid-19 virus. But, why, as Americans, do we allow politicians to address us and treat us in ways that have an element of surprise built into them. Are you okay with that? I'd seriously like to know. Not having a plan in place or at a reasonable state of development is one thing. That's an entirely different conversation. But, having a plan and not being open and honest about it is an entirely different issue. It is an issue of transparency. Whether I agree with the actions that you plan to take or not is not the issue. Whether or not you are being upfront about it is. EVERY American should have a problem with that. What are your thoughts?

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris referred to each other as "Vice President-Elect" and "President-Elect" respectively. But, then he goes on to state that the GSA had not "ascertained" his winning of the election. How does that work?
