https://www.reuters.com/world/us/nancy-pelosi-first-woman-serve-us-house-speaker-retire-congress-2025-11-06/ Finally, after decades of holding up a California Congressional seat, Rep. Nancy Pelosi has decided it's time to retire. She's 85 years old. Before anyone goes feeling sorry for Rep. Pelosi and/or believing she needs a job to feed her family, keep in mind that she has a net worth of $120 million dollars. Nevermind that a public servant shouldn't be allowed to make that much on the job. Rep. Pelosi and her husband are very well off. Hopefully, Rep. Jim Clyburn, the sharecropper from South Carolina, will follow suit an…

There's another super moon brightening up the skies, this one being referred to as the "Beaver Moon", the last and largest one of 2025. This picture was taken from my back porch. All the other images that the camera reflected in the photo are weird. Like an astral Rorscharch ink blot test. Not to mention what looks like a second smaller moon. Hummm. zzzzzzzzzzzz

I believe I did a thread on this before but...... Once again, with all of the talk and spamming and bullshit all over the internet and social media STILL very little to no mention of Daylight Savings Time and how the clocks must be turned back. Even the so-called "New" channels and sites have barely said a word about it. It makes you wonder where people's priorities are. Perhaps they're used to their computers and "smart" phones doing it automatically that most people don't give it a second thought.

LT Governor Winsome Earle-Sears is running for Governor in Virginia. Right in line with Herschel Walker running for office a couple years ago, the GOP seems to endorse the goofiest Black folks. This Winsome Earle-Sears clip will become a meme: She won't be winning the election in VA. She will be most remembered for this unhinged moment. 🤣😎

Several high-profile cases involving white folks shows the lengths whites are willing to protect even those most guilty person until convicted. 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. …

https://www.cnn.com/sport/live-news/nba-fbi-sports-betting-probe-10-23-25 The FBI seems to be on a mission to crackdown on sports betting. No surprise the 1st people they arrested were a Black coach and player. These dudes were not ringleaders by any stretch of the imagination. The mafia and other rich people are the driving forces behind sports betting. Remains to be seen how many of them will be indicted. The issue I have is why milionaire Black athletes and coaches jeopardize their bag for chump change. It is possible that gangsters could lean on them to cooperate. However, there are recourses if they need pr…

Economic Corner The Two Economies of the USA have a simple problem. One is financially wealthy, always growing fiscal wealth based on arithmetic manipulation plus flexibility supported by the most powerful military in humanity , but also always needing bailouts. Always too big too fail, even though it fails a lot. The other is losing jobs, losing investment,has a balooning populace. But hasn't led to riots, it is holding on to hope. NYC is clearly showing this. Eric Adams a few years ago stated New York City has a bustling economy, job growth is unlike ever before. But, this article admits that for ten years in a row, over one hundred …

Economic Corner 23 Sanae Takaichi becomes Nippons first female prime minister Oct 21st 2025 My Thoughts I don't know much and I asked those in the Japanese internet their thoughts. But what is known... Nippon/Japan has a lot of issues. Japan does not need population growth overall but in sectors it does. A number of businesses in agriculture for example, lack a next generation. Japan like korea or Taiwan/Formosa sits in the unenviable position of between the two biggest militaristic powers in modern/as of this writing humanity. She says she wants to increase Nippons militaristic position as well as its financial position. Well, in what way? Everyone…

https://newrepublic.com/post/202059/maga-kash-patel-diwali-racism FBI Director Kash Patel was recently reminded that he is a person of color. He innocently acknowledged Diwali (Hindu festival of lights). In response, white racists recommended that Patel go back home. Fellow Brown man, Vivek Ramaswamy, who is either running for governor of Ohio or giving speeches at Turning Point USA rallies has also been reminded that he's non-white too. The most cruel joke white folks like to play on non-white people s leading them to believe they are accepted. White folks break their tools once finished with them. People of color are toler…

https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/trump-says-justice-department-owes-him-money-vows-donate-any-payout-charity-2025-10-21/ POTUS OJ has floated the idea that the US government by way of Department of Justice owes him $230 million dollars for past cases against him. Several companies have already paid POTUS OJ in one way or another. With his various forms of grift, he could could amass multimillion or a billion dollars before leaving office. The $230 million shakedown is a case study in a conflict of interest considering POTUS OJ would be signing his own check. As mentioned before, these next 3 years and change are goi…

United States Postal Service 2025 The United States Postal Service in the USA compared to other models you can't compare denmark to canada. yes, denmark is getting rid of letter shipping. but postnord has a functional monopoly on the postal service in scandanavia denmark/sweden/finland and another. And by postnord's admission, they are ending letters, not mail. mail is letters+ packages. packages are on the rise. letters are on the decline, not mail though, and this is part of the argument in the usa or canada, that mail has risen, not in letters but in packages , and to be blunt, the post office should had been where the internet was designed through. the …

A white dude commits a heinous crime as a 17-year old. He pleads guilty. No Black person could have committed these crimes and pled guilty and gotten a potential 80-year prison sentence reduced to probation. Of course, the white media didn't plaster this case over every outlet in America. In fact, they have tried to bury it. Black media should be putting these cases on …

Putin is determined to conquer Ukraine. His plans in that regard remain unchanged. Despite the money being wasted on *high-level* meetings and talks regarding the war is Ukraine, Putin has never wavered in his ambitions. Ukrainian president Zelensky showed up last week begging POTUS OJ for Tomahawk missiles. That would level the battlefield. Zelensky left with his beret in hand. The US is purposefully handicapping Ukrai…

There are Black majority cities in America like Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore, and even Jackson Mississippi. What if Black politicians at the municipal level began working with wealthy black entrepreneurs to develop and diversity local economies especially disadvantaged neighborhoods ? Think about it. What if we pooled public and private resources to replicate what Geoffrey Canada did with the Harlem Children's Zone in New York City ? After all a good start early in life in a livable environment comes before any kind of academic achievement or entrepreneurial success. Right? Secondly, what if black business people and politicians formed public/pri…

Smith has been throwing shade at Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Smith seems to be angling to make the jump from sports talk to politics. Some folks have asked if he plans to run for POTUS. Rep. Crockett has been the most outspoken critic of the current administration among her peers. This young Black woman has more spine than the entire Democratic party. Nonetheless, it is a very bad look for Stephen A. Smith to use his platform to criticize Rep. Crockett. Not because…

Fentanyl is a huge concern to white folks as it has been killing them. Unlike cocaine and methamphetamines, it doesn't take much fentanyl to kill the user. Some folks also believe the US …

Policies of the current administration are being protested. Of course, POTUS OJ himself is being reminded the US doesn't have a king. Never to be out done, the Republicans are calling it the Hate America Rallies. Possibly trying to stir up counter-protests. The organizers of the No Kings protests are committed to peaceful gatherings. Hopefully it will remain that way without any issues.😎

On cue by direction of POTUS OJ, New York AG Letitia James has been indicted on federal charges: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/new-york-ag-letitia-james-speaks-federal-indictment/story?id=126496441 NY AG James is the 1st to win a conviction of a former POTUS. Of course, that was never going to sit well with POTUS OJ. Not even 1 year into his second term, the same clown who claimed he wasn't going on a revenge and retribution campaign if re-elected has done it anyway. AG James has been defiant in declaring her innocence and willingess to fight the charges. Trust that she already has her defense strategy on lock.😎

You tax dollars at work... I don't know where I learned about this video but the title of this post is what I used to find it in about 2 seconds. Initially I found the video was shocking; to see a room full of multi-billionaires supplicate themselves before the President. That alone should give you an indication of how powerful the man is. Trump is perhaps the most powerful man in human history. Reuters deliberately edited this video of billionaires bending the knee to the president in such a way to illicit the reaction I had. In context of the dinner itself it probably was not as bad as it comes across with this edit... I guess I'll …

I love this performance. Maxwell was supposed to battle D'Angelo in Verzus, but he didn't show up. D'Angelo went on and did that damn thing anyway.

May beautiful music follow you as you continue your journey. 😍 D’Angelo, Grammy-winning R&B singer, dies at 51 | AP News

Trump was sure the prize committee would recognize him for trying to negotiate a cease fire between Palestine and Israel. So glad this undeserving despot was denied this honor which went to Maria Corina Machado, a woman who has long been fighting for democracy!

You have to be delusional TO A CERTAIN DEGREE in order to really achieve Success in this world. You can't be too stuck in the current "here and now" or focus only on what you THINK is likely or probable. You have to be a dreamer and dream big and actually believe those dreams can and will be accomplished. This is important for intelligent and righteous Black people to understand and accept.

Self hatred and the desire to procreate with and blend into White society isn't exclusive to just one or two groups but can be find among people around the planet. Among Latinos, they have something called "Mejorando La Raza" which translates into "Bettering The Race" It's a custom found through out Latin America and Latino culture that basically advises ALL Latinos to seek either: -White Latinos -White Anglos -or atleast lighter skinned Latinos ...to marry and mate with so that the children will come out lighter and closer to White; which they consider "better". Infact, in some cases they can just skip the "marry" part and just MATE with Whit…

On Friday, 3 October, the judge gave Diddy 50 months in the penalty box and a $500k fine. Diddy has already served 12 months or so. Remains to be seen which federal penitentiary he will be confined. Wherever Diddy lands, the next 38 months or so will be a breeze compared to the detention center he's currently housed. There's also the outside possibility that POTUS OJ could pardon Diddy before he gets comfortable in the fed pen. From the trial circus to the melodramatic sentencing, Diddy will be free before the next election. No need to feel sorry for Diddy. He's still a rich Black man.😎

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/28/eric-adams-drops-out-new-york-mayor-race NYC Mayor Eric Adams has ended his re-election bid. 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.😎

Today, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts of lying to Congress. Most likely, these charges will be an inconvenience to Comey. I don't believe he will be convicted of anything.
