BEIJING, April 20 (Xinhua) Indulging in the superiority as the world s superpower, the United States habitually claims itself as the defender of international law , blames unscrupulously other countries and slaps arbitrary sanctions on them under the pretext of safeguarding international rules.
However, the United States in fact makes its selfish political gains first and puts its national law above international laws. The self-righteous country willfully breaks treaties and withdraws from international organizations, changing like a weathercock.
Under the pretense of democracy and human rights, Washington constantly interferes in other countries internal affairs, blatantly wages wars to encroach upon other countries sovereignty, flagrantly undermines international order, and poses a grave threat to international security.

In 2019, Kempner Mayor Keith Harvey made history, becoming the first Black mayor of the town. He ran unopposed in that election.
His path to reelection is not assured, however, as current Councilman John Wilkerson is running to unseat the incumbent Harvey in the upcoming May 1 election.
The Herald recently sent questions to all candidates of contested races, asking them why they were running, their top priorities and what makes them the better candidate.
Keith Harvey
Harvey, 48, declined to answer the questions.
âI respectfully decline. Everyone is always looking for a story, a platform, gossip or a messy situation,â Harvey said. âSomething that they see as news in a dark dismal world where racism, police brutality and homelessness thrive. I choose to continue to serve silently. I am not a politician, Iâm someone that loves his city and people in it, even if they donât love me back.â
