Georgia Election Recap; U.S. in Insurrection
First Vice President Antonio White hosts guest Ruben Roberts, immediate past President of Miami-Dade NAACP.
Picking up the two Senate seats gives Democrats the opportunity to move an agenda. What is President 45 have to lose when he loses his seat? Note the difference between how the armed insurrectionists at the U.S. Capitol were treated in comparison with Black Lives Matter peaceful protestors? What would the danger be if conspirators are left unaddressed?
On this Day in History: January 12, 2010. Deadly earthquake strikes Haiti.
The earthquake, which lasted 35 seconds and was followed by several aftershocks, left an estimated 316,000 dead and 1.5 million injured. More than 1.5 million Haitians were left homeless after more than 400,000 houses crumbled into broken slabs of concrete and twisted steel. In the aftermath, donors and the Haitian government promised better construction, free public housing and a revitalization of Haiti’s devastated economy.
None of it has materialized as envisioned.
The earthquake decimated the southern portion of Haiti, leveling more than 100,000 buildings in metropolitan Port-au-Prince and the cities of Jacmel and Léogâne, where the epicenter was. A post-disaster assessment by the U.N. estimated the destruction at $7.9 billion.
