Treaties that served as constitutions for American Indigenous were broken and rewritten for political expediency and one reason Republicans don't like Common Core history standards is that the curriculum long-ignored by textbooks includes genocide and near-extermination of Natives by European colonialism. Today, American Indians are subject to at least four overlapping jurisdictions making tribes the most regulated people in the US without representatives from their Nations serving in Congress.
Then in 2021 former South Dakota State Senator Troy Heinert sponsored a resolution in the legislature in support of revoking Medals of Honor for Wounded Knee murderers that passed overwhelmingly but since DonOld Trump hates Native Americans one of his apparatchiks recently left the medals that dishonor Native American military servicemembers in place. In 2024 Heinert was tapped to run the Bureau of Indian Affairs' buffalo conservation and expansion project.
And, while the Palestinian homeland looks like holes in the slice of Swiss cheese analogous to the illegal Israeli state, progress toward resolutions of Native trust disputes would have far more political traction after tribes secede from the States in which they reside and then be ratified to form one State, the 51st, sans contiguous borders replete with two Senators and at least two House members.
The good news? In January, 2027 after Nikki Gronli, Julian Beaudion and the Democrats retake the US House and Senate they will elect Hakeem Jeffries Speaker of the House, impeach and remove Trump and JD Vance then Jeffries will become President of the United States. Soon afterwards Pres. Jeffries will do what Presidents Obama and Biden did not do and rescind those medals. After that, Democrats will annul the Nazist legacy left by the corrupt Trump Organization.
"The National Congress of American Indians strongly condemned on Saturday a Pentagon review that decided against revoking medals awarded to U.S. soldiers at the 1890 Battle of Wounded Knee, an event which many historians consider a massacre." Reuters
ReplyDelete"Bishop of Rapid City, Scott E. Bullock along with Pastors and additional representatives of the Catholic faith in the Black Hills area have uniformly condemned an announcement by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, that soldiers involved in the Wounded Knee Massacre would retain the awarded Medal Of Honor."
ReplyDeleteIndigenous hating Republicans have lost tribes maybe forever: KJZZ.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats on glide path to retake US House: Jeffries.
ReplyDelete"For the scenario to occur, Democrats would need to gain a majority in both the House and the Senate in a future election (such as the 2026 midterms, as suggested in some discussions).
ReplyDeleteIf Democrats controlled the House, they could elect Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker.
If both the President and the Vice President were impeached by the House and subsequently removed from office by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate, the Presidency would then pass to the Speaker of the House.
However, the process would require two separate Senate trials, as one official would have to be removed before the next person in the line of succession (the Vice President) assumes the Presidency and then potentially faces their own impeachment and removal process.
The scenario you described is a theoretical sequence of events dependent on future election results and multiple successful political actions."
