  3. https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/food/mcdonalds-combo-lower-prices Admittedly, I have not eaten McDonald's food in about 25 years or longer. As a result, I had no idea that McDonald's value meals had soared to $10 dollars or more. In an effort to make offerings more affordable, McD's will be lowering the price of some value meals. While it won't inspire me to start eating there, I think it's a great move especially for people and families who don't have much money. McDonald's was the one place $5 could buy a meal. Anyone should still be able to get that without having to buy the equivalent of a Happy Meal.😎

For whatever reason, white folks are having a hard time releasing the files on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Apparently, the file contains the names of powerful people who supposedly weren't guilty of getting down with underage girls but they hung out with Epstein. The talking point is these powerful people shouldn't be exposed and/or have their lives ruined because they were…

    It appears that several African nations like South Sudan and Uganda have entered into some sort of agreement with the United States to take in the illegal immigrants who have been arrested and detained during the recent raids. US deportations: Trump strikes deals with Honduras and Uganda BIG MISTAKE This is a back-door way of introducing and eventually displacing the African population with non-Blacks. Black African nations shouldn't be taking in and adding racist non-Black Latinos to their population for several reasons.

Tariq basically says the same thing I've been saying and stressed with richardmurray a few days ago about Mamdani's being elected as mayor meaning little to nothing to us as AfroAmericans and probably will cause more harm than good for Black New Yorkers. He also touched on how Indians came to Africa and exploited it.

Here's a brother doing a show about the incident: I have a few questions about this incident: 1. Although he was indeed rude, what did he say that was racist or anti Latino? 2. Do they consider just TALKING to a Latina woman in that manner "anti-Latino" or "anti-woman"? 3. When we see video after video of bosses, police officers, and other public figures talking rudely and even being violent w…

Decisions are made regarding: 1) attire 2) grooming 2) shackles 3) courtroom photographs 4) media coverage I won't give perpetrator names as it's easy enough to look them up. They don't deserve a shout-out here either. White folks want their criminals to get the most fair trial. They don'tdemonize them until guilt is proven beyond reasonable doubt. Still, they believe these people can be rehabilitated. That's why they're slow to consider the death penalty. …

Citing a lack of access to campaign funds was the main reason Mayor Adams dropped out. A lack of money would prevent Mayor Adams from runnimg independently. The current administration didn't put that money machine behind him. It is also being reported that Mayor Adams was in 4th place behind Mamdani, Cuomo and Sliwa. Maybe the current administration has a job for Mayor Adams. I believe he'll resurface eventually. I doubt he's financially well off enough to stay retired.😎
