https://apnews.com/article/investor-visas-trump-immigration-eb5-gold-cards-cdb943dd1633bc234bb715fa20914e05 Most of those reading this thread are probably already citizens. It didn't cost much. POTUS OJ is proposing a $5 million Gold Card as a path to citizenship. This Card would replace the EB-5 visa. No surprise that a supposed billionaire would be willing to sell citizenship to rich fols. The most glaring issue I see is that rich people can freely travel back and forth to the US. They already have homes here too. Surely, there are plenty people who can afford the Gold Card Visa. I just don't see a point in the…

The following message was sent by a friend, via text. I won’t be watching the state of the union. I never watch the state of the union.

I meant to share this message when I first got it a couple of weeks ago. I got it through text messages and email from multiple sources. I’m surprised no one else posted it. Some sources only focused the boycott on a handful of businesses Amazon, McDonald’s, Walmart… if every black person on earth boycotted Amazon for one day, Amazon would not notice a difference— especially if those same people simply did delayed their purchases by one day. My initial reaction was that this won’t have an impact because it needs to be a sustained effort, basically one in which we stop supporting these businesses until they “give.” Which means we will proba…

The Stars Are Lining Up Again; Ethiopia & Greece Earthquakes; The Great Comet of 2025 Over and over, again and again, scientist report that planet alignments and certain eclipses and other star configurations do not have any effect on earth, but it seems like this kind of programming will soon come to light. Why though? Why do our scientist seem so obsessed on telling us not to believe in these kinds of occurrences? I'm late in sharing the recent events, however, it seems that we are still experiencing some great scientific history now. This subject is huge, but I just want to share a little to mark time.

Police Killing of Robert Brooks & the New York Correction Officer Strike I've been busy but checking out the forum today. I was wondering if there were any mention of the recent murder of a Black man, Robert Brooks, in December 2024 by White Policemen caught on body cam that went viral. Some report the recent strike may have been sparked due to this murder. He was handcuffed. They kicked him, shoved something down his throat, and etc. and was going to throw him out the window. I don't understand how Black people can not see this for what it is. How can these kind of acts be defined as human beings dong this. Whether these kind of acts come fro…

Go home to a cease-fire. Instead, President Zelensky was ambushed by POTUS OJ and his VP. They clearly feel differently about him than the previous administration. Zelensky stood his ground and vowed to keep fighting. Needless to type, President Zelensky was booted out of the Oval Office. No deal. No post-meeting news conference.

Considering the number of Black journalists fired from their high-profile gigs, I'm curious to see if it will motivate them to start their own companies. Roland Martin who was fired from TV One several years ago seems to be doing well with his own media company. Instead of waiting on or looking for another mainstream media gig, the better move would be for fired Black journalists to join forces to create an independently Black-owned media company. Don Lemon, Candace Owens, Angela Rye, Joy Reid, Jemele Hill, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., should have enough followers between them to consolidate into media platform. Black journalist…

Economic Corner - profitability of an artist My Thoughts From 70,000 to 80,000 was what jane austen made. Happy belated birthday to her. When I think of artist in general who have made more after death than alive the list is long and that includes many Black artist. I think Basquiat is the example that stings the most cause Jean Michel's artform, streetart by many blacks to this day is deemed inappropriate , evil, low quality, and yet , on the pieces of wood or metal , if you have a Basquiat original, you can earn millions in a sale. But the lesson from Jane Austen is clear, the financial value of an artist work is not determinable. It is completely relative to a time…

China plan to build the biggest solar array in space. why solar power in space? the light from the sun , or any star, is manipulated , usually lessened when a planet's atmosphere is involved. The earth's atmosphere is why light from the sun doesn't arrive as potently as it is outside the earth's atmosphere, but this blockage maintains life on earth. Water or air would get too hot , the temperature cycle of earth would die without that atmosphere. But in space, the unfiltered solar energy makes it the standard source for most or all human craft since the beginning of the human craft traveling outside earth with sputnik in the 1900s. the Japanese will do a test of…

White south africans making a public statement against immigration to the USA is interesting. In a humanity where most in south America/Africa/asia/western Europe/Caribbean are looking to travel to wealthier shores in USA or Western Europe, the white European minorities in lands with mostly non white European peoples want the opposite. To the white Europeans in South Africa, they are an ideal case of loving a convenient financial environment. While South Africa's growth is clearly to Black south africans, white south africans will rather the land or generational wealth their forebears took for them then to build up in even competition new lives in a usa absent first peopl…

In theory, the database would make it harder for law enforcement personnel with bad records to jump from one jurisdiction to another.

According to some of you, high interest rates and these pay-day loan stores sprinkled around the ghetto are the causes of poverty in the AfroAmerican community and elsewhere. So by that logic..... We can go to a wealthy community, place a bunch of pay-day loan businesses on each block, get the banks and other lending institutions to charge high interest rates to their customers, sit back and wait and pretty soon THOSE wealthy communities will be impoverished too! Right? Since....as some of you claim...they are the CAUSES of poverty. Or on the reverse...... If we TAKE AWAY the predatory lending institutions in the hood and force the banks and…

To be crystal clear.....I whole heartedly believe in THE SUPREME BEING. However I'm not religious and don't ascribe to religion.

One of the main reasons I'm not religious and don't ascribe to religion now is out of disappointment. I spent much of my youth waiting..... Waiting on Judgement Day to come and straighten things out.

Economic Corner 14 - the black farmer of the usa MY THOUGHTS In 1920 , white records have 925,708 Black Farmers, this doesn't include Black people still share cropping or farming through prison labor.

When POTUS OJ got elected, I figured charges against Mayor Adams would go away. I doubt that Mayor Adams will win re-election in NYC. He might flip from blue to red as well. While Mayor Adams is still in office, he will work with POTUS OJ's administration to round-up undesirable immigrants. After his m…

Economic Corner - what is the truth of investment in the sport industry in the usa? Key points One hundred and fifty million is the most recent value of starting a WNBA franchise , fifty million initially and then one hundred million through promised infrastructure plans. The WNBA franchise in Chicago was started for five million dollars, in Oprah Winfrey's beloved town, by a white man who had less money than Oprah, and was absent any promises of future investment. No major league, major league defined as a team determined the primary athletic tier, from the NFL to the National Women's Hockey League has a black owner.

Talk about redundancy. As there is a war on fraud, waste and abuse in government spending being investigated by DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), there is already a group of folks who are supposed to be doing that work. The US House Committee of Oversight and Accountability has the same responsibility. A bipartisan body is split down the middle between doing their jobs and supporting DOGE. DOGE was stood up by POTUS OJ. The quasi-agency is headed by the unelected, South African, Elon Musk. A billionaire who has conflicts of interest due to his government contracts. POTUS OJ has given Musk the latitude to find $…

There's a possibility the Russia-UkraIne conflict could end sooner than later. To date, more than 2 million people in total have been unalived in that war. When the bullets and bombs stop, Ukraine still won't be a member of NATO. The Russia-Ukraine conflict was an exercise in which cousins unalived each other over a territorial dispute. These countries have destroyed lives and property at the cost of billions of dolllars. Surely, money that could have been better spent making life better for its citizens. Instead, Russians and Ukrainians were cheering for their side as if it was a sporting event. The…

They Not Like Us!? WOW! 2025 Super Bowl Half Time Show--Unforgettable! I am BLOWN AWAY! More than Music--that has been the take away from the words of well, Lamar himself!

What!? Serena Williams Does the Crip Walk at the 2025 Super Bowl Half Time Show! What a show! Man! It was awesome! Controversial but nonetheless dynamic! I really thought that the Super Bowl performance with Snoop et al. could not be matched, but I think that this one was insane! I'm not schooled well on the Rap industry but I now am learning about the heavy hitters and am impressed. I've never really heard about Kendrick Lamar and I vaguely remember that he was part of the other Super Bowl too, but now, I am schooled. I also vaguely remember his music being featured in a major gymnastic college competition too. Back then, I did not realize that h…

It unnerves them that as far as they're concerned, a Black man got away with murder. Nevermind there's no shortage of theories surrounding how those people were unalived. White folks refuse to let the OJ case go but tas soon as we brimg up slavery, racism and reparations, their response is that it happened a long time ago or they weren't responsible despite benefitting or it doesn't exist and Black folks should let it go.

As a huge fan of boxing, I have to chuckle when I hear, read and see anything comimg from the Left. The Democrats are beginning to look and sound like the opponent who lost the fight but refuses to accept they got knocked out.

There is own important, and obvious, difference between Freedom's Journal and Twitter (I know it is called "X" now). Black people owned Freedom's Journal! the failure to make that distinction, and to use this as a Twitter as an example of Black people using media to tell our own stores in our own way is ludicrous!

I just watched 6 seasons of The Chi it took me about 6 weeks to get through it. A friend recommended it to me, and she expressed an interest in my opinion. I found it interesting enough to get through it but on a scale of 1 to 10 id give it a 6. You really had to suspend disbelieve to get all the plot lines and the overlapping characters. @Pioneer1's post about Smoking Weed was what made me think about The Chi. Smoking weed was such a big part of the series -- almost everyone smoked weed constantly. They were smoking it, growing it, selling it and killing over it. It was a major character of the series. Another big part of the serie…

Somewhere between $81-$102k will allow a buyer to drive away from a Tesla dealer in a Cybertruck. Range is about 300 miles per charge. I've seen a few Cybertrucks around here.

Supposedly, the new Gaza Strip would be a place that people from anywhere in the world including Palestinians could live, work and play.

The new administration clown car just pulled off 2 weeks ago. Already, one of the clowns is already in full performance mode. Secretary of Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is doing ride-a-longs with ICE agents. Secretary Noem is a cabinet-level official dressing up like she's going to jump out and arrest folks. Nevermind that border czar Tom Homan is already stomping around in the same capacity. POTUS OJ is reopening Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30K detainees prior to deportation. White folks are having a field day with rounding up immigrants they believe are a threat to America.😎
