Interesting how a place with so much continuous war and violence is called "The Holy Land".

Despite a partial government shutdown where TSA agents aren't getting paid, that didn't stop Congress from going on Easter vacation. Congress is responsible for passing the bills that would reopen the closed parts of government. The people responsible for their safely at the airport would get paid. The most arrogant & tone deaf aspect of this whole situation is Congress-folks who take advantage of being escorted through airports to avoid long lines caused by their own inaction. People have been encouraged to take pictures of these elected clowns who refuse to carry out their responsibilities. Congress still gets paid du…

That our dear and beloved big Brother has made that great Transition Jesse Jackson dies at 84: Tributes pour in for civil rights icon

Chicago's legendary Democratic Mayor Richard M. Daley who was the consummate political "boss", once made the statement that "all politics are local". And so they are. The Democratic party takes a lot heat from its right wing detractors, not to mention its perennial black critics who claim its leaders take the black vote for granted, while never addressing the needs of rank and file voters. A patented argument that can be refuted. Chicago's local Democratic machine was running on all cylinders this past election Tuesday as black voters turned out in big numbers rewarding the black candidates and white supporters who have served them well in the past, leaders r…

Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS As a young girl in the Jim Crow-era South, Gladys West passed the time counting fenceposts, dreaming of life beyond her family farm south of Richmond. Each day, she walked three miles to a segregated one-room schoolhouse with a leaky roof and a solitary, underpaid teacher. And each way, there and back, she counted the fenceposts along the road, discovering that she had an aptitude for numbers that would help her bridge the distance between poverty and opportunity, between a life working in the fields and a career helping society advance beyond its limits. Dr. West, who died Jan. 17 at 9…

More Coded Black History: What Is A FRENCH HORN!? Part I I actually merged two very significant and distinct ancient and also, extremely historical terms together associated with Black African history. But nevertheless, the concept of 'a French Horn' also summarizes a major historical concept that bridges the past to the present instrument today known as the French Horn, in that the musical horns today stem from ancient people like the Jews and Israel of whom used animal horns to blow into for to signal the masses. But the prophets of Israel used this term a lot to explain the science and genetics of humanity in contrast and comparison to the 'horn' of…

The USA government has been on a bombing & killing campaign since last year. Fishing boats accused of narco-terrorism have been blown up. Operation Midnight Hammer destroyed Iranian nuclear capabilities supposedly. Venezuelan President Maduro was captured & extradited to the US. Right now, Operation Epic Fury, another joint effort with Israel is underway in Iran. Then, there's ICE rounding up & deporting innocent people & shooting white folks who get in their way. Hundreds if not a thousand people have been unalived by way of the US government over the past 12 months or so. …

Sandra Bland spirit came - february 7th 1987 I heard a white man once say on television, the pbs newshour, that people who protest against law enforcement need to let law enforcement do their job. But, what is the penalty when law enforcement commits crimes, whether illegal or not? If being a law enforcer doesn't come with greater penalty when one breaks the law then how can law enforcers be expected to fear the law more? and if law enforcers don't fear the law more then is not their abuse of the law inevitable?

The USA dust-up with Iran has already cost billions of dollars. Recently, the Pentagon says they need an additional 200 billion bucks to keep up the fight. Before anyone gets dew-y eyed & surrenders their piggy-bank or cashes stocks & bonds or sell fish dinners, the Pentagon isn't strapped for cash. Considering all that wrong with the economy & folks being poor, hungry & homeless, I'm sure Americans could find something else to do with that $200 billion dollars.😎

ProfD Sure we could. We choose not to abort (proverbially) or drop squad them. We are so loving & forgiving & don't snitch, etc. I don't think it's a matter of them being so "loving" or "forgiving" as much as many of our people are just so selfish and short sighted that as long as whatever foolishness going on in the neighborhood doesn't affect them PERSONALLY...they don't care. But some of those "loving and forgiving" people will kill somebody over $10 if THEY get cheated.

Leaders in the US especially POTUS OJ & his Defense Secretary often say "pray for the safety of our troops". Then, the military is sent in to kill a bunch of folks. Pope Leo XIV mentioned in his Palm Sunday address that "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war but rejects them". Even as an agnostic, it is It is always interesting to see & hear how people use their religion so differently.😎
