Why do I place more value on my personal experiences and observations than on statistics? Statistics and studies can be manipulated and fabricated; unless I'm drunk or high (which is extremely rare) my observations generally can't be. I understand that MY observations and experiences can't always be proved to others, however I take this position for my own personal satisfaction. Especially knowing how the racists love to manipulate figures, stats, numbers, and skew information to fit their agendas.

SURPRISE!--Another Undetected GREEN COMET Has Just Showed Up Near the Sun! The Three Green Comets; SWANN (2025), ZTF & Nishimura of 2023 The First Enigmatic Green Star of 2023– Comet ZTF Part III A comet not seen in 50,000 years is coming. Here's what you need to know News By Joe Rao published January 6, 2023 https://www.space.com/comet-c2022-e3-ztf-visible-naked-eye-january-2023 This was the first time that I had ever heard of a modern day comet that was reported to be a green star! So, for this reason, I was determined to witness this wonder for myself! And for several ev…

I believe this society is becoming too complex or too complicated for the AVERAGE person of AVERAGE intelligence to navigate through. I suspect that's where a lot of problems and dysfunctions are coming from and this is probably why there are so many addictions. So many people are trying to cope....and escape....psychologically....with just trying to keep their heads above water in a society where they find it increasingly difficult just to meet their basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, and health care. Let alone deal with loved ones who are also going through their own personal problems. I alluded to this in another thread about "endless amounts of…

SURPRISE!--Another Undetected GREEN COMET Has Just Showed Up Near the Sun! The Three Green Comets; SWANN (2025), ZTF & Nishimura of 2023 Part II-The Swan Comet One possible explanation given for the green comet that just appeared on the SWANN spacecraft and although it was obviously here for many months undetected was that it just exploded and became bright enough to be seen. This explanation only confirms my memory because, although I searched and searched in the past few years for a reference, I could not find any. I absolutely remember reading Biblical commentary about the mysterious 'dark green comet', Wormwood, that may be able to mo…

The all-female crew was Gayle King, Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen and Kerianne Flynn. Well, the expensive 10-minute amusement park ride went off with a hitch. The funniest part of it was billionaire Jeff Bezos' face-plant as he tripped and fell while going to greet his boo thang...Sanchez.🤣 The deposit for a Blue Origin reservation is $150k (fully refundable). The total fee is unknown. However, a seat was once auctioned for $28 million. Needless to type, very few folks will be taking that flight anytime soon.😎

The optics of this sh8t are terrible. Of course, racist white folks are delighted to see these young men being deported and treated as sub-humans. It won't be too funny if/when they start rounding up political enemies and other citizens and sending them to a prison in El Salvador. I'm curious to see how far the American people will let this BS go on before they say enough.😎

https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/2038534/dire-wolves-cloned-extinction-scientists In this episode of dumb sh8t scientists do, a company has supposedly brought back the extinct dire wolf. The article details how they did it. There is a mention of bringing back the wooly mammoth too. Scientists have been cloning animals for a long time. As far as we know, most of the cloned animals do not survive for very long. However, if these animals are being used to produce GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and whatnot for human consumption, it probably doesn't matter how long they live. I digress... …

I found what Facebook poster Timothy Elliott had to say about America's dictator incisive and succinct. "Trump was once a Democrat, then he switched. Wouldn’t even call him a Republican (the traditional party of “free trade”), however. He’s something altogether different. The Grievance Party (MAGA). Whining, complaining, self-pitying, feeling hard done by. In Trump’s world there is no such thing as mutual benefit. It’s always a zero-sum game. He has to be the winner (or be seen as a winner) and the other party has to be a loser. He took over the world’s strongest economy (on Jan.20), and the world’s strongest currency, and in less than three months he has both head…

Dollar Tree Is Not the Same Anymore I wonder if anyone has noticed the change that has happened in Dollar Tree. Should the owners change the name now because many products in the stores do NOT cost a dollar anymore. At first, the prices went up from a dollar to being a dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25) but now it seems that the store has done a complete change. Now, there are many products that cost much higher than a dollar. Why continue to call the store; Dollar Tree? Since this chain has been connected to Dollar General, then perhaps they will take ownership of Dollar Tree.

I recently said in a dialog between me and our good brother ProfD, that White dudes often hang around Black men to learn some "swag" and how to talk to Black women. Which is one of the reasons I DON'T let them hang around...lol. They've already stolen enough. If they want to learn how to be cool, talk to women, how to dress, how to cut hair...learn from eachother. We've taught them enough already. But it made me think of something else.............. The other week I was talking to a young man (younger than me atleast....lol) at work about the amount of flirting that goes on between White men and Latina and African women. He actually pointed out 2 thing…

I didn't know that the Hebrew Israelites were even over IN Africa preaching...lol. But apparently, they were, and when they went to Kenya preaching that Jesus was a Black man, I guess the locals got offended and started stoning the bruthaz.

I happened to be watching this video this morning and when my man said THAT part (somewhere around the 11 minute mark) about hiring somebody to walk the dog instead of doing it themselves because they could make way more money doing something else, I immediately thought of the discussion we had the other day when some of you informed me that most wealthy Black people would rather HIRE somebody to change the batteries of their smoke detector or do other simple household things. It was hard for me to believe that because as I said before, I don't know a whole lot of wealthy Black people personally. I know SOME...but most of the Black people I know are either professi…

I pasted the quote in the title of this post from the opening line of the video (below). George E. Johnson, founder of Afro Sheen, was at one time the richest Black man in America. His memoir came out a month ago, but I only learned about the book today. The video is quaint, but endearing, nonetheless. Afro Sheen: How I Revolutionized an Industry with the Golden Rule, from Soul Train to Wall Street by George E. Johnson

I was inspired to share my thoughts on this after reading the exchange between richardmurray and Mel in another thread. As a non-religious person I believe that IDEALLY...males, females, and even those in between (hermaphrodites) should be given full equal rights and share power evenly in society. Ideally, the only difference in degree of power between individuals would be based on each individual's desires and abilities and not their sex/gender. However.......((yall knew a "however" was coming...lol)) AS LONG AS White men rule the world with a Patriarchal system and OTHER races of men rule their societies with a Patriarchal system...I support having a…

A few weeks after doing my taxes, the state of Michigan sent me a letter telling me that they needed to "verify" my identify. WTF??? After all of the verification I used to do the taxes in the first place, they STILL need more verification? I go to the site they provided for me and a few questions turned into several. Then they're asking you to "log in" using your Username and Password. But when you "log in" you have to use an UPDATED password...not one that has expired because they apparently have an expiration date. But all of that means nothing if you aren't first REGISTED to use the site, so now you gotta go back and do that. When you regi…

How ironic that Adams' "trumped up" charges were DROPPED by Trump....lol. NYC Mayor Eric Adams is ditching the Democratic Party as he seeks reelection NYC Mayor Eric Adams running for reelection as independent WISE move Mayor Adams....WISE move! Remember I called it over a month ago. I said he was going to leave the Democratic Party.....I said THAT on this very site. I had been saying off line and online and I MIGHT have said on this site that if he wants to be re-elected he better run as an Independent. He can't trust the Democratic leadership in New York state, and NYC is too blue to support a Republican mayor (Do…

After watching a documentary about the Bloods and Crips gangs in Los Angeles and how they were founded and how they evolved, and the gang life among some AfroAmericans in various cities through out the United States in general....a few people actually described the different gangs and their sets (set = local subgroup of the much larger gang) as "tribes". When I heard this, I thought of our brother @richardmurray and how he often describes the various socio-political groups within AfroAmerica as "tribes". I've heard it said that Black people....not just in the United States but worldwide...are "tribal" by nature. That we look for different ways to group up an…

POTUS has issued two threats: 1) Sanctions and tariffs against Russia if they violate the cease-fire deal in war with Ukraine: https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-threatens-russia-others-with-sanctions-if-ukraine-deal-not-reached-2025-01-22/ 2) Bomb Iran if they continue pursuing a nuclear weapon: https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-says-there-will-be-bombing-if-iran-does-not-make-nuclear-deal-2025-03-30/ Polar opposite approaches in terms of diplomacy. Kid gloves for Russia. Sledgehammer for Iran. Surely, there's no confusion as to why these countries are viewed and treated so differently.😎

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/-trump-smithsonian-museum-executive-order-race-rcna198533 The current administration has signed an executive order to restore a certain ideology to museums. The Vice President has been tasked with getting the Smithsonian to whitewash American history. National Museum of African-American History & Culture (NMAAHC) could undergo changes in order to continue receiving federal funding. The clown car is barreling down the street. These next few years will be a bumpy ride.😎

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/29/not-how-you-talk-to-allies-danish-fm-tells-the-us-over-greenland Since day 1 of assuming office, the current administration has been talking about acquiring Greenland. Nevermind that Greenland is not up for sale. The inhabitants have not expressed a burning desire for their territory to become a part of the US. Greenland would rather remain sovereign or at least tucked in with Denmark. The question for the forum is 1) should Greenland should become a part of the US and 2) will it become a vacation destination.😁😎

Death of Engine Civilization! Throwaway Cars! People with Zero Comprehension of technology are part of the problem. I remember when I was seven years old. I was walking to school with my two older sister. There was a white car parked on the street and I stopped and stared at that car and thought, "When I grow up I'm going to have a car like that." It was a 1957 Thunderbird with the round Opera Windows. I built lots of model cars and planes in grammar school. Including the Visible V-8 engine. I lost interest in cars in high school. They were just transportation machines. Reliability, durability and servi…

In October, I lost my youngest twin daughter to breast cancer. She didn't have health insurance when she found out. Still, she got health insurance through Obamacare (Affordable Care Act.) Several months after cancer treatments, she went into remission after treatments. Still, she refused radiation because there was a possibility of leaving her mentally and physically disabled. By then, the cost of her treatment was nearly a quarter of a million dollars, a poisoned and mutilated body. She lost so much, but she refused to give up her way of life. The cancer treatments didn't extinguish her light, though. She was still helping others see what a gift life was …

Heavyweight boxing champ and businessman George Foreman has passed away yesterday March 21st. I'm more proud of him eventually becoming a successful businessman than a successful boxer. May our good and beloved brother rest in peace and power.

I realize many of our brothers and sisters are not concerned with segregation. Many are thinking of how to ensure we as a community do not become another Tulsa or Greenwood. How can we use our literary skills to protect our history, community, and churches against the evils that are transpiring against us? As the Black community, we need to stop trying to hurt each other. We must unite to defeat the enemy, which, unfortunately, can be us.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/tesla-vehicles-vandalized-us-musk-began-white-house/story?id=119910817 I have no idea of who is setting Tesla vehicles and charging stations on fire. However, we do know who owns Tesla and his proximity to POTUS OJ. The unelected dude is ruffling a lot of feathers. Even if the arsonists are politically motivated, it seems like a stretch to consider burning up vehicles a form of domestic terrorism. There are charges that can be brought against the arsonists once apprehended. I do not believe they are domestic terrorists. Feel free to make the case otherwise. 😎

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/02/05/congress/green-moves-to-impeach-trump-again-00202601 Rep. Al Green (D-TX) has filed articles of impeachment against POTUS OJ with regard to the Gaza Strip. Members of Congress have already stated the US stands with Israel. The Israelis have top cover to wipe Gaza off the map. Rep. Al Green and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) should be working on a reparations bill. Especially since Democrats are dead in the water on any other legislation over the next 4 years. They have plenty time on their hands. Make it productive.😎

Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, Lisa Fischer and Valerie Simpson were among those who performed at the funeral service for Roberta Flack. I would like to know what was so important that our beautiful sista Lauryn Hill couldn't finish getting her hair done.🤣 Hair appointment aside, the mercurial Ms. Hill still has that voice. The woman can sing effortlessly. Surely, the late Ms. Flack would have approved of Lauryn showing up for her homegoing service. Of course, the great Stevie Wonder did his thing too. The man is a living legend. Deserves his flowers now. Ms. Roberta Flack was an awesome musician, sing…

I post this question in an effort to encourage more discussion from people who read posts but don't comment (lurk). The thought was that my questions should be "provocative." I not sure it this question exactly fits the bill 🙂 Kicking things off: MSNBC cancelled “The ReidOut.” What are we gonna do about it? Was anyone here on the emergency Zoom call, attended by nearly 10,000 people, in support of Joy Reid, the first Black woman to host a prime-time cable news show? If we really needed her program we would come together and ensure she has a platform and the resources to continue, and even expand upon, what she was doing... right? …

During a discussion in another thread as to why I'm no longer religious, I divulged ANOTHER reason why I'm no longer religious anymore. Because I'm not as LAZY as I used to be. Back when I was very religious, I was very lazy. I didn't want to get up off my ass and do things for myself and put in the hard work and research that needed to be done to get the type of Success I wanted, so I reasoned out that the world would soon end and "so-n-so" would come down to Earth and make everything alright, so I didn't have to worry about that.

Al Green (D-TX) got himself censured today. 10 of his fellow Democrtas voted in favor of it. During POTUS OJ's Tuesday night speech, Rep. Al Green decided it was time for him to perform. He was given a chance to settle down. Instead, he kept yelling and the Sargeant at Arms escorted him out of the building. Rep. Al Green didn't get himself kicked out of the Capitol stomping on behalf of Black folks. His concern was Medicaid/Medicare.😎

https://apnews.com/article/black-lives-matter-mural-washington-dc-c2be76ef2c8af68050788a374c439063 As another politician bends the knee to and/or kisses the ring of POTUS, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has fallen into line. Mayor Bowser will be having removed the Black Lives Matter mural from the street in Washington DC. The mural is one block away from the White House. It was painted there in June 2020 in the wake of George Floyd's murder. The mural area will be renamed Liberty Plaza. Hopefully Mayor Bowser won't sell-out the whole city.😎
