  4. Happy Belated birthday to Wayne Lewis of Atlantic Starr born April 13th https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/516-wayne-lewis-of-atlantic-starr-born-april-13th/ #waynelewis #atlanticstarr #wayne #lewis #atlantic #starr #black337 #richardmurrayhumblr #richardmurray #hddeviant #deviantart #tumblr #kobo #kwl
  5. https://www.usnews.com/news/u-s-news-decision-points/articles/2026-04-13/lawmakers-behaving-badly-house-considers-historic-expulsion-spree Rep. Eric Swallwell (D-CA) & Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) have resigned from Congress amid s8xual allegations. Swallwell, who was a serious Democratic contender running for Governor, of California, has been accused of raping several women. Of couse, he denies it. Rep. Gonzalez has admitted to having an affair with a staffer who committed suicide by immolation (setting herself on fire). Two (2) Congress-folks facing expulsion: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) who has been accused of stealing millions of dollars. Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has been accused of threatening to release explicit photos of a former girlfriend. A judge has granted her a protective order against him. Both political parties are equally represented by these people. Guess politicians are trying to shake the boring persona. Some have gone too far.🤣😎
  6. POTUS OJ posted another picture in doubling down his mockery of Christianity.😎
  7. Gotcha. No worries. I'm perfectly fine as long as my login works here.👍🏿😎
  8. He IS the embodiment of the American spirit -- THAT is why he is a 2-time president and multibillionaire.
  9. OK I'm glad the regular logins work-- maybe that is for new accounts. I'll update my post. @ProfD There are some features of the main part of AALBC that require a login like following an author or adding a book to you bookshelf. My goal was to have a single login but to get over that tech hurdle is not something I'm not keen or starting right now.
  10. Yesterday
  11. @aka Contrarian ...everything you wrote about POTUS OJ is true. The reality is that millions of Americans are perfectly fine with POTUS OJ & his BS. Unfortunately, POTUS OJ is the spawn of h8ll that will be broadcast around the world on America's 250th birthday. Ta-Da.🤣😎
  12. A Trajectory of U.S. Immigration at the Intersection of Immigration Policy and Rule of Law, hosted by Joyce Williams of Armooh Wlliams PLC In this episode of Brief Encounters, host Joyce Williams is joined by former Appellate Immigration Judge Andrea Sáenz and former Immigration Judge Anam Rahman Petit for a timely conversation on U.S. immigration law at the intersection of policy and the rule of law. Together, they unpack judicial independence, detention and adjudication, and the shifting boundaries of asylum—offering an insider’s view of how these legal frameworks shape due process, access to protection, and the future of the immigration system. IN AMENDMENT Two immigration judges were recently fired after dismissing deportation cases involving pro-Palestinian student advocates(https://lnkd.in/esQRdniJ) —part of a broader pattern raising questions about judicial independence in immigration courts. 🎙️ In Brief Encounters, Joyce Williams speaks with former judges Andrea Sáenz and Anam Rahman Petit about asylum, detention, and due process—and how policy pressures shape outcomes. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.(https://lnkd.in/exBPN2G4) Andrea Sáenz + Anam Rahman Petit #ImmigrationLaw #RuleOfLaw #PublicPolicy AUDIO https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/dcbar/episodes/A-Trajectory-of-U-S--Immigration-at-the-Intersection-of-Immigration-Policy-and-Rule-of-Law-e3hljof/a-acj4jor Linked Referral https://www.linkedin.com/posts/joyce-williams071381_immigrationlaw-ruleoflaw-publicpolicy-activity-7450175380742811648-zckk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAC9jwHcBhMdyfurNH2JmdlAPjJgXHivmWR8 EMBED <iframe src="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/dcbar/embed/episodes/A-Trajectory-of-U-S--Immigration-at-the-Intersection-of-Immigration-Policy-and-Rule-of-Law-e3hljof/a-acj4jor" height="102px" width="400px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
  13. Our login credentials work fine for the AALBC forum. I've noticed the other part of AALBC wanted me to sign-up (my regular login didn't work).😎
  14. I don't know how I'm able to post here, having not done the required procedure, but I'm not complaining.😛
  15. @ProfD Trump always takes the low ground, never the high ground. He says what a lot of prople really think and appeals to the worst in people, with his lack of propriety. England's royal couple, King Charles and his consort Queen Camilla are coming to America as a good will gesture in connection with America's celebration of its 250th birthday. Wouldn't be surprised if the meglomanical Trump tries to upstage them, and a lot of people will approve of this. Trump is an iconoclast, which wouldn't be such a bad thing if he, himself, wasn’t such a depraved, narcisstic, ignoramus. As POTUS, he's a terrible embodiment of the America spirit on the occasion of its 250th anniversity.
  16. No, I did not mean to suggest that I found something "innately wrong" with it. I was just curious about the motivation. Sometimes, perhaps often, we do things without understanding the true motivation. It is the same curiosity I have about people who wear spacers in their earlobes, cover their bodies in tattoos, or color their hair purple. I will admit 20 years ago I probably would have been more judgmental about those things. Today I could care less about what a person does with their own body, but I'm still curious about the motivation. Look, white people invented dying hair blond or at least popularized it before Black women began doing it. Obviously, white women were not motivated by race. Maybe it is not racial for our deeply melaninated women either.
  17. I was able to successfully reset my password, so the site's basic functionality has been restored 😊
  18. admin changed their profile photo
  19. This week, as a distraction to the dust-up in Iran & stalled negotiations, POTUS OJ decided to disagree with Pope Leo XIV & depict himself as Jesus. Of course, neither Catholics nor Evangelical Christians condemned the actions to any significant degree. I love the phrase as it relates to people in general..."moral relativism & situational ethics". 😁 On a daily basis, the actions of POTUS OJ reinforce what people think, believe &/or are willing to accept.😎
  20. Should I Feature first post? Basically featuring the first post by showing it at the top of every page in the topic? Sometimes on multipage conversation who forget the what the original point of the conversation was supposed to be. Maybe this will keep conversation on track -- maybe it does not matter.
  21. Thanks, man. This whole website upgrade has been a challenge, but things will be much better overall.
  22. The new look is fantastic. @Troy ...thanks again for everything you do & the sweat equity you pour into the site.😎
  23. Last week
  24. There are a bunch of thing I need to work through, but the most important thing is that one. Resetting your password does not work yet (did it ever?). I hope to have that working sometime this evening. If you can login you are free to use the forum. After I get the password reset working I'm begin making some esthetic changes. Fun facts: We have been using this software since Sunday, September 13, 2009! The last time I upgraded to a new server was in 2019 and the forum was down for 10 days (at least)!
  25. Right. All they have to do is stop buying his music & attending his concerts. Kanye's So-Fi show this past weekend grossed over $30 million dollars. I'd imagine a lotta white folks were there. Some Jews too.🤣😎
  26. Really? I was an adult before I learned to do this. It is liberating 🙂 This is funny in this context. Otherwise it is not... at least not to me. Was the murdered? The he start the altercation?
  27. ...well they the ones paying him. Were it not for y'all I would know nothing about pop-culture. I would not worry about the promoter too much. You gotta buy insurance. T-Boz and Chill lbetter squash their beef and make that paper! "Independent thinker" Is a euphemism for arrogant ignorance. The idiot who does "his own research" in fringe corners of the WWW.
  28. Inspired by Doja cat’s song - Ninetenh$e from @wertys-art in blackartistoftumblr https://www.tumblr.com/communities/black-artist-on-tjambler/post/812824821179318272?source=share #blackartistoftumblr #wertys-art
