Sheila Jackson Lee - A fierce champion of the people.
August 1, 2024
Celebrations are underway for Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, who died last month. She was 74 years old.
Her funeral service was in Houston at 11 a.m. on Thursday and was attended by several politicians, including Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
A cause of death was not immediately disclosed, but in May Jackson Lee revealed that she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
"A fierce champion of the people, she was affectionately and simply known as 'Congresswoman' by her constituents in recognition of her near-ubiquitous presence and service to their daily lives for more than 30 years," her office said in a statement.
Jackson Lee represented the 18th Congressional District.

    US or British university professors have to teach you the western laws and rules to keep their dollar and military hegemony over the none white countries for past 500 years . US will coup any government with oil to put in place a government that's being controlled by US oil companies and the CIA . It doesn't matter which experts you get those so called experts and politicians will be intimidate and controlled by US CIA in favor of the US corporations which has already been done to Guyana before EXXON started drilling for oil in Guyana . Who controls Venezuela oil ?? US dollar sanctions on Venezuela continues like Cuban US dollar sanctions. Brics is making an effort to change US abilities of US dollar sanctions on poor people in the Global South 😅😂

    I'm not quite sold on the Garifuna being an admixture of Africans and Native Caribs. Simply by looking at any Garifuna, they have 100% African features. There is zero trace of any indigenous race in them. Probably there was some intermixing along the way but apparently it was not significant enough to impact their overall genetic makeup. It would be great if we got an adequate number of Garifuna samples in order for the relevant tests to be carried out on them with a view to map out their entire D.N.A. to prove or disprove this hypothesis.

Finland would be another good choice, or Singapore or Israel). Probably after 3 such terms the locals will have been well trained, the infrastructure in place, the culture of straight-running (no baksheesh), other industries up & running, military in place, universities & schools, meritorious driven advancement etc.
