Fan translation of lyrics: We start talking from the bottom (people) to the top (governors). [If you] Close your ears, don’t listen, ignore, i’ll use a megaphone. Living in life, like a statue, that doesn’t sell anything in the market. Open that mouth, speak, freedom, your tongue free. Your tongue is FREE ! This is my country, i speak within it, i ain’t crazy. This is my country, i speak within it, i ain’t crazy! Where is freedom when you see the prisons (torture). The police is drowning in money, as they sell the law. Where is the press? Where? Where are the people? Where? Where is the television? Where are the intellectuals? Where are the people? Where are you, O scholar! In every shop you find the picture of the boss (politicians). Paper.. Pen, Against the wind.. Against the wind.. Paper.. Pen, Against the wind.. Against the wind! Don’t hide, what you think is right, what you think is right. Lot of pits, be careful to fall down. Live tough, stay strong, STRONG! stand on your dignity! Speak, talk, discuss, tell, LIBERTA! LIBERTA!

Nothing on Jan. 6 will change the election’s outcome

The law says if a member of the House is joined by a senator both chambers must debate and then vote on the contest.

Majorities in both the House and the Senate would need to support a challenge against a slate of electors, according to the Congressional Research Service. The challenge will fail because Democrats hold a majority in the House and because, you know, Trump lost.

In America’s African descent community, Watch Night began on December 31, 1862.  It was and is a religious service in which they prayed for and watched for the coming of God’s deliverance.  The sign of that deliverance came on January 1, 1863 in Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.  Join us in the 150th anniversary observation of this important American tradition.
