I was raped by the nominee in 1972, possibly in 1979, or maybe in 1994. H/T for the inspiration. I can't believe that someone beat me to this satire: https://twitter.com/BarbaraRKay/status/1307687929297481728?s=20 _______________________________________ This clip was posted earlier today (September 21, 2020) on my YouTube channel as THE SAAD TRUTH_1138: https://youtu.be/n8Nht7EMd2U _______________________________________ Please visit my new website gadsaad.com, and sign up for alerts.

Today on Sojourner Truth, we continue our coverage of Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, and the attempted rape charges he is facing. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a Palo Alto University professor of clinical psychology, has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her while the two were teenagers. Kavanaugh, whose nomination process to the top U.S. court has since been stalled and embroiled in controversy, has denied the accusation. What GOP senators and other Kavanaugh supporters are ignoring is just how serious of an issue sexual assault is in this country and around the world, disproportionately affecting women. Every 98 seconds, a person living in the United States is sexually assaulted, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). 9 out of every 10 victims of rape are female. Additionally, 1 out of every 6 women in the U.S. has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Whats also been left out of the narrative around Kavanaughs scandal is what the impact is on victims of sexual assault. Also, flashbacks and post-traumatic stress disorder become more common when sexual assault victims are exposed to similar stories, according to the advocacy group San Francisco Women Against Rape. Joining us to discuss Kavanaugh and his attempted rape charges are Dr. Mekeila Cook and Barbara Arnwine. Dr. Cook is an Assistant Professor at Meharry Medical College. She has a PhD in Public Health from the Fielding School of Public Health at UCLA and a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Tennessee State University. Arnwine is a veteran civil rights and human rights leader and advocate. She is currently the President & Founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. For 26 years, she was the Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights. Also joining us today is Dorothy Reik for our daily Sojourner Truth Election Watch, where we review the latest news on the upcoming congressional elections.

Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, has been accused of attempted rape by Professor Blasey Ford in an incident that Prof Blasey says took place when Kavanaugh was 17 years old. Republicans have proposed a public hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, Sept 24 to hear both from Kavanaugh and Prof. Blasey. Not so fast, says Prof Blasey. There needs to be an investigation by an independent body such as the FBI of the incident and charges before a hearing takes place. But as of now, Republicans are saying if Prof Blasey, who has had to go underground due to threats against her, does not turn up on Monday, they will move ahead with the appointment of Kavanaugh. Are the Republicans banking on getting their guy into the SCOTUS even if how they go about it could guarantee losing in the upcoming Congressional elections? Our guest is Black feminist icon Barbara Smith. And the head of the OAS is backing military intervention in Venezuela. This, following Trump meeting with Venezuelan opposition members and Trump himself floating the possibility of U.S. intervention in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Our guest is journalist Jose Luis Granados Ceja. And Nana Gyamfi joins us to discuss the state of Black immigrants and attempts to bring immigrant communities together. She is the new executive director of LA BAJI. For Campaigners for Black lives, we turn our attention to protests following the police killing of Botham Jean in Texas. We speak with John Fullinwider, long-time community campaigner in Dallas Texas and co-founder of Mothers Against Police Brutality. And our Sojourner Truth Election Watch with Dorothy Reik.

This week on the podcast: James laments the Widow of the Web, while I have no idea who that is. We get an apology from a British gnome who opposed marriage equality, and hear from some Tennessee Beavers who only believe in "natural marriage." And we also fret a bit about Neil Gorsuch, Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee who spells bad news for equal rights.
This week on Your Blackest Hour, we met some of the #wokest teens ever, there is a legit "Reverse Racism" lawsuit at Power 105.5, #DaveChappelle is back and on #Netflix and everyone needs to watch it. Auntie Maxine Waters is following the #Trump #Russia investigation and she's calling for #impeachment. #NeilGorsuch is Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee and it looks like he will breeze through nomination process. It's the 1st day of Spring, and we got all kind new music from Rick Ross and Drake. Like the page, share the video, join the discussion. We're live on FB at 8pm/7pm EST
Jack Moline is President of Interfaith Alliance. In his long career, he's become a powerful voice fighting for religious freedom for all Americans, regardless of their faith or belief system. As a rabbi, he has worked to create common ground between people of diverse religious and secular backgrounds. He's advocated for a number of issues, including services for this disabled, affordable housing, marriage equality, pay equity and civil rights. Rabbi Moline has authored two books and offered commentary on a number of news programs. I spoke with him about whether Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch could be a surprise on church/state issues, why Trump's proposed repeal of the Johnson Amendment would be a disaster in more ways than you might think, and what role atheists play in the interfaith movement.
