    Are you taking your vitamins and supplements? I was listening to Dr Oz on the radio the other day and he said to avoid eating junk food 🥘 on the road he kept nuts in the car. He said the body doesn’t crave calories, it craves nutrients. I think he is right. A few weeks ago I had started using vitamin patches to boost my Immune system. I found that the combination of drinking more water and using the patch it has caused a decrease in food 🥘 cravings. I just placed an order for the Complete package.

With the expulsion of Greg, a new troll has appeared on the board to take up the bad mouthing of "the black community", Different name (Pierre), same script. Since their weaponized words reinforce rather than dismantle problems, these agents of the right wing turn dreams of black unity into a nightmare. So, what else is new?

    Moses Was NOT the Only One to Prophecy the Slave Ship Trade Specifically, Moses and most of the major prophets did not only prophesy about slavery and the selling of human beings into slavery by ship, but they pinpointed the most critical time period that did not occur until thousands of years after the rise and fall of many great civilizations. Even though slavery and the sale of humans by means of shipping happened in the old world, the prophecy written down in the Bible was about one main epoch: the Transatlantic Slave Ship Trade. Why though? What was so critical to write about this event to the affect that the very first author of the Holy Bible wr…

  15. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has arrested and charged former police officers who were responsible for the raid and firing shots that led to Breonna Taylor's death. It took almost 2. 5 years to bring these killers to justice but better later than never. I hope AG Merrick Garland brings a solid case against them. Breonna Taylor's family has already won a civil suit. Putting these murderers behind bars would bring justice full circle. 😎

    Whether it's race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity our society is troubled to the least. It doesn't matter which party controls Congress or the Presidency either. Getting any significant political reform to benefit working people or ensure a more free and equal society for all seems impossible. So, what's wrong? What keeps us from moving forward? Consider the narrative of a center-right political consensus. Secondly, the role of so called moderate centrists especially in the Democratic Party; and lastly the role of wealthy people and big corporations.

    Republicans demand your vote, but don't care if you or your diabetic friends and relatives die when they can't afford their insulin. I guess that's why sliced a measure to prevent private insurers from gouging insulin patients from the Democrats' climate and economic bill that was just passed in the Senate. And before anyone says "it would have cost too much," remember those trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich. The money was supposed to "trickle down" to the Middle Class and the Poor.

First, after Dubya failed in seven years to even find him, it took President Barack Obama to order U.S. Special Forces to strike and take out Osama bin Laden and snatch his body to prove it. And two days ago, President Joe Biden ordered a drone strike which obliterated bin Laden's successor Ayman al-Zawahiri. Methinks Joe, might be on to something here. Because during his presidency.

    Black people are not monolithic. There are political differences among us like anyone else. Moreover Conservative Black Republicans have become more visible and vocal since the Reagan Era in the 1980s. But I wonder if differences extend to dating and marriage among black people. Can two black people with very different political views have a relationship, and even be in love? I know from reading this is rare among white people who tend to date, marry, and socialize with those holding similar political views. What about us ?
