Weekend News Round Up – RFK Jr. Fights Both Political Parties for Democracy and Ballot Access

Kennedy is connecting to African Americans:
“‘Bobby has had a tremendous background working in the Black community way before he even decided to run for any public office,’ said Jamel Holley, a senior adviser to Kennedy and former mayor of Roselle, N.J., noting his steady involvement working with the NAACP and on other race-related initiatives. ‘What we’ve been doing is going into the African American community in various states,’ he said. ‘There’s about 40 to 45 percent of Black voters who are at a standstill right now. They don’t want to vote for Biden, they don’t want to vote for Trump.’” – RFK Jr. courts Black voters, looking to chip away Biden’s support | The Hill

As the curtain rises on the next act of the Tragedy of Joe Biden, RFK Jr. asks, Is Biden in Charge? | TeamKennedy24
“Democrats need to face reality. The Jenga blocks are coming out from under what was always destined to be a shaky Joe Biden re-election effort.” – Hunter Biden Shows Joe Is No Longer in Control of the Plot | The Wall Street Journal

“President Biden has been using notecards in closed-door fundraisers, calling on prescreened donors and then consulting his notes to provide detailed answers, according to people familiar with the routine. Why it matters: Biden’s reliance on notecards to help explain his own policy positions – on questions he knows are coming – is raising concerns among some donors about Biden’s age.” – Biden’s reliance on notecards at fundraisers worries donors | Axios
We will soon close out February, knowing that the Supreme Court will take up Missouri v. Biden in March. In this clip by Aaron Everitt, RFK Jr. states that freedom of speech and freedom of the press – the foundations of democracy – are threatened. There is much talk these days about “protecting democracy” by elites who claim they want to protect us from “dangerous misinformation.” What they are really seeking is to protect the status quo that benefits them. Kennedy stands against those people.

I admire RF Kennedy in many ways but he has betrayed his own message of listening to the people and doing adequate research on issues. His claim to promote equitable dialogue is also betrayed when he presents an adamant position on supporting Israel's genocide He clearly hasn't a clue about the history and context of this raging genocide. He also fails to call it and demand a ceasefire. He shows no understanding of the Palestinian voice and the Israel Lobby's and Israel's demand to maintain complete control over Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem while also claiming control of expanded lands of other regional States.
It is sad to say that someone some sterling qualities betrays them and many of us who would have been working for his candidacy. We have a large number of people on my who quit such efforts because of this genocidal support. I hope he can change.
