by Marc H. Morial (TriceEdneyWire.com)—“The lie of massive, rampant voter fraud is serving the same function today as it did during the rise of Jim Crow.

For more than five decades, Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza has been a Los Angeles cultural/business icon and the place where African Americans shopped, evolving from an open-air retail hub to an indoor shopping complex.
In a 2010 interview, Quintin Primo, CEO of Capri Investment Group, told reporters “Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza is more than just a simple mall on the southside of L.A.
“And that is why it remains critically important that areas like these become more a part of mainstream America.”
Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza – formerly called the Broadway-Crenshaw Center – was one of the first regional shopping centers built in the United States, specifically for the automobile.
The big ambition of the Baldwin Hill Crenshaw Plaza is very much a reflection of the neighborhood which has seen an investment boom in recent years as commercial developers search for new frontiers of gentrification as previous inexpensive markets grew pricier.
“We do not support this proposed sale to CIM to develop the Crenshaw Baldwin Hills mall,” said K.W. Tulloss, community activist and pastor of Weller Street Missionary Baptist Church.

“Joe Biden owes black people, and black women in particular, a debt of gratitude for reviving a campaign that was dead,” said Colette Phillips, founder of the Get Konnected social network and a supporter of the former vice president in the primary.
Black women in particular supported the former Delaware senator, leading to big wins in primaries across the South as rival candidates dropped out and coalesced around Biden.
To many African Americans, Biden’s vice presidential choice should reflect the Democratic Party’s most loyal base, a black woman who can inspire a strong turnout by voters of color in November and help replicate the coalition that twice elected Barack Obama to the White House.
“If Joe Biden thinks he can not choose a black woman and win, my name is Alexander Hamilton,” said the Rev. Miniard Culpepper, pastor of the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church and a primary supporter of U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Massachusetts state Rep. Nika Elugardo of Jamaica Plain, who co-chaired the Sanders campaign in the Bay State, said Biden should find a woman of color from the heartland with strong ties to the labor movement and the experience of immigrants — drawing from the demographic foundation of the Democratic Party.

TAXPAYERS COULD see a huge windfall of nearly $750 million if Jamaica holds both the local government and general elections together.
The local government vote is due in November this year, while the general election is due next February.
However, with the constitutional allowance of three months post due date in special circumstances, local government elections can be held no later than next February.
Ruling parties have often used local government polls as a test of the political temperature before lining up their ducks for the general election.
There is currently no fixed date for voting in Jamaica, but general elections are constitutionally due every five years, and local government polls every three years.
Two members of parliament of the main opposition party CHADEMA have ditched it over what they termed as violation of MPs rights by its leaders.
The announcement by the duo comes hardly four days after Kilombero MP on Chadema ticket, Mr Peter Lijualikali, accused its Chairman, Mr Freeman Mbowe, of violating the party's constitution.
\"When this 11thBunge meeting comes to an end, we will collaborate with the NCCR women to work for the nation,\" said Ms Masele, noting that they made the decision after the party failed to obey and observe justice among MPs and other members.
She also mentioned other reasons for ditching the party as unfair expulsion of fellow MPs, sexual harassments targeting female Chadema women MPs, among others.
While contributing in Parliament Mr Lijualikali said he had been degraded, disregarded, even as his money was being chopped off by CHADEMA to contribute for the existence of the party.
The GOP’s relentless war on alleged rampant voter fraud targets, not thousands, as many critics have noted, but millions of eligible voters.
