  9. URL https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Old-Man-Johnson-s-Drums-1324518474 CONTENT Old man Johnson never stopped drumming, all about Massachusetts. Every adult or child knew he played the drums in the whole state. He taught countless drummers, mentioning his teachings from Buenos Aires to Cairo to Delhi to Saikyo. But Old Man Johnson was a man, and like all men, his time is finite. Many drums were heard at his funeral, like belophonies of rain on a meditative day. But the funeral ended and everyone lamented Old Man Johnson's drums will be heard no more. But , ever since his passing, many say when the most violent acts are committed between peoples in the usa, from the pole the flag hangs from being used as a spear, to forty one shots aimed at the groom to be in his bachelor's party, to the murder of nonviolent people wanting to maintain arms for self-defense at Wounded Knee, the drum of Old Man Johnson can be heard. With drumsticks made of love to peace even in spite of harm or trust to strangers even if proven themselves antagonist, the drum fights to sound over the spirit of war vendetta or revenge at the root of the land from sea to shining sea. And of course, the drums of New Bedford have always failed to bring Statians together, but they never give up hope. Drumming in the face of undeniable terrifying reality, while drumming in front of ever-distant fantasy. Try to hear; the drums warn of the fire that may be. from Richard Murray / @HDdeviant for WHERE ARE THEY NOW FOR MAY 2026 ?

  10. Last week
  11. Only a Black man could be dead for 17 years & folks are still trying to sue his estate. Interesting that charges have been filed upon the release of a Michael Jackson (MJ) biopic. Nevermind the 100s of millions of dollars white folks stand to make on the movie alone. Now, the same white folks will try to redistribute any money due to MJ's estate to others. White people know how to insure that others eat at the expense of non-white folks. Just as when MJ was alive, I had no sympathy for his circumstances because he chose to give money back to white folks between 1) scandal & 2) adopting white children.😎
  12. If he was dead I would celebrate. Otherwise I do not give a shit. Trump has screwed up way more important stuff. He should have been deadened before this Iran crap.
  13. Right wing-nuts who are usually pro-guns & have a mouth-piece in POTUS OJ who says all types of outlandish sh8t...now they want the Left to tone down their rhetoric before someone else gets killed. It's impossible for POTUS OJ to do everything he's doing & saying whatever he wants wirhout someone getting angry enough to want him silenced. The Right should be encouraging POTUS OJ to shut up & stop f8cking with people & maybe he won't have target on his forehead. It's really that simple. Especially in a country with *mentally ill* people who have access to lots of guns. The media needs to stop reporting that POTUS OJ got shot in Butler, PA &/or was almost assassinated. A bullet grazed POTUS OJ's ear the 1st time. Saturday, the gunman was captured long before he could have taken any significant shots. That won't stop people from being violent nor prevent the media from gaslighting them.😎

  15. Trump earlier sat down with "60 Minutes" correspondent, Norah O'Donnell, for an interview after the alleged assassination attempt at the annual white house press dinner, and during the course of the conversation, she directly quoted the words of the alleged shooter who said he wanted to rid the country of a "rapist, pedophile, traitor". Trump's immediate response was that he was not a "rapist, pedophile traitor" to which Norah responded, "oh, do you think he was referring to you?" a question that left Trump totally miffed and sputtering as he lapsed into a tirade against Norah, calling her among other things, "a terrible person"! This is where we presently are as a country as we approach the 250th anniversary of America's founding, and we've got a couple more years left of Trump's term in office. How much worse can it get? Or, - can it possibly reach the point where it's so bad it can only get better? 😳 Who knows?
  16. Well, the much anticipated Michael Jackson bio opened in theaters this weekend fulfilling expectations of being a box office smash. Critics pretty much panned it as being all style and no substance but fans are giving it a thumbs up, praising the job his nephew, Jafaar Jackson, for the good job he does, playing Michael. Meanwhile , it's been reported that 6 more alleged victims have all of a sudden come forth, fiing charges against the gloved one's estate, charging him with child molestation...
  17. Hey, sweet thing. Why you wanna waste all your credentials and potential and ruin your life by getting mixed up in some Trump shit??
  18. I'm more interested in Mel and Chevdov, hoping their absences are just their usual long breaks. Maybe pioneer is somewhere sulking, lickin his wounds. HeeHaw.
  19. Back in June 2025, Operation Midnight Hammer supposedly took out Iran's nuclear producing capability. In February 2026, Operation Epic Fury supposedly took out more of Iran's nuclear capability & wiped out their Navy. Yet, one of the conditions of a deal is Iran turning over enriched uranium & any other nuclear material & promising to never pursue a nuclear weapon. The question is how can they do such thing if everything has been destroyed. Then, Iran is supposedly laying mines & threatening the Strait of Hornusz. Seems like that would be harder to do wirhout Navy ships. The US has spent $55 billion dollars blowing up sh8t & killing Iranian people. Part of the negotiation is unfreezing about $20 billion in Iranian assets. The current administration complained about previous ones wasting billions of dollars in Iran. Go figure.😎
  20. Maybe forum upgrade coincided with the sabbatical @Pioneer1 takes sometimes.😁 Hope he's able to find his way back here. 🤣 Looking forward to him tapping in whenever time permits.😎
  21. No messages saying he could not login (I know @harry brown has been having difficulty) Did @aka Contrarian finally run him off? Did @Pioneer1 find a better Black forum with women willing to tolerate "real" men? Well your absence is felt. i hope to read your still-believing-in-the-concept-of-race posts soon.
  22. With the way the "information" is disseminated today conspiracy theories are completely understandable. With all the trash being generated no one really know what to believe. so folks "do their own research" and come up with whatever makes sense to them. Of course with seemingly no floor to what the current administration is willing sink to why wouldn;t someone believe they are capable to staging another assassination attempt. Speaking of the Nation's birthday, the 200th celebration, 1976, seemed to elicit have a lot more patriotism. The 250th not so much...
  23. It is interesting the politicians condemn violence stateside while killing people in Iran & Lebanon. True. From POTUS OJ promoting the high-security ballroom being built on the East Wing of the White House to having so much information about the gunman immediately. Right. A Caltech grad with a BS degree in Engineering & a Master's degree doesn't seem like someone stupid enough to try this stunt. Something doesn't add up about this situation but that won't stop these folks from spinning it to the benefit of the current administration & anything they come up with to justify tighter surveillance & control over certain groups of people.😎
  24. Nobody on social media is taking this assassination threat seriously. Too much about it seems staged, including Trump's news conference. I've never been into conspiracy theories... but I'm very suspicious about this latest occurrence. I don't put anything pass the sinister well organized Project 2025 American Heritage Foundation. This latest gunman is a "brotha" and that's a plus for these right wing Retrumpicans, hoping that will lure more racists into their base.
  25. The annual White House Correspondence Dinner was interrupted by a would be shooter. A law enforcement officer was shot in his vest but he'll be fine. Nobody else was shot or hurt. Don't know how far the 31-year-old gunman from California expected to get &/or who were his targets. Since he's still alive maybe a debrief will provide more details. They claim POTUS OJ wanted to return & finish the dinner event. Secret Service felt otherwise. An alternate dinmer will be scheduled for a later date. Surely, security will be on another level. The nation's 250th birthday celebration events will bring a ridiculous amount of security too.😎
  26. What percentage of the population is the most destructive & to whom or what? Humans can only destroy themselves. The planet will be fine for another 5 billion years. People are allowing it. There is no public outcry or demand for them to stop killing people for oil. That's not how thw US military works in this country. They do not take out idiotic politicians. Again, it isn't that they do not know. The question is do they care enough to divulge it without risk &/or consequence to their well-being & livelihood.😎
  27. which did you enjoy most @Nnamdi Azikiwe ?
  28. And how long have there been 8,000,000,000 people on the planet to fuck things up? Trump and Iran are the latest and greatest stupid demonstration. The US Military should have taken him out months ago. How could nuclear submarine commanders not know enough Physics to figure out the Twin Towers Affair? 🤣
