https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-accuses-obama-treason-escalating-attacks-over-2016-russia-probe-2025-07-23/ As a distraction from the Pedo-files (Epstein), tariffs, ICE raids, conflicts, economy, division, etc., the current administration is accusing former POTUS Obama of treason before POTUS OJ took office the 1st time. Nevermind POTUS OJ has been re-elected. Claimed he would not be on a revenge and retribution tour. Of course, nobody believed him. I do not believe POTUS Obama will be indicted or face any charges for his handling of Russian collusion in the 2016 election. The current administration enjoys stirring t…

I suspect the British actors Idris Elba, as Nelson Mandela and Naomie Harris as Winnie Mandela will submit better performances than the Americans Terrance Howard and Jennifer Hudson did in the same roles in the film Winnie Mandela, which came out in September.

The Only One Chapter 21 Determined not to give a lot of weight to Troy Briggs’ mention of the White Sox, Carole Everly had, nevertheless, turned to the channel where their Saturday afternoon contest was being televised. She wasn’t going to sit in front of the screen and watch, but would check the score from time to time while she went about her weekly chores, which included doing her laundry and tidying up her apartment. What did she have to lose? Only her sanity. Troy Briggs, as usual had left her hanging, never approaching her again at the company meeting yesterday, only offering a quick salute from across the crowded room as things were breaking up and …

I'm feeling the effects of both the digital divide and net neutrality. Are you? I teach at one of the colleges of a major university; all the university's classes have been converter to online. Many of the students simply cannot easily engage in online courses, because they simply do not have own a computer with high speed access to the internet. Most access the internet with a smartphone. The closure of schools, libraries, cafes, and other venues that provided free internet access has effectively eliminated all sources of alternative access. Given the 3 million+ new filers for unemployment. those with access will be under increased dif…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZMCfxWN_X3Q I heard some others talking about it on the Sunday Morning News shows a couple weeks ago. Why are so many WHITE MEN interested in the rebuilding of America's blackest major city while Black folks all but ignore it?

If everything goes according to plan, Brittney Griner will play next season for the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA. This is good news and I am hoping her security can foil the haters and disgruntled.

@ProfD As we talk about laws, judges, branches of government and what is legal and what is not....we both can agree that the U.S. Constitution is suppose to supersede ALL federal and local laws, right? The Constitutions makes it crystal clear in the 4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

With everything that’s going on today, it’s hard not to wonder about the future of Planet Earth, in general, and the USA, in particular. Throughout the world, governments are toppling and those populations that are not protesting are the ones that are starving to death. Whether tropical or urban, jungles are crawling with violence and crime. The debacle occurring in Washington between 2 teams of grown men masquerading as responsible law makers is a disgrace. With all of them grandstanding, hoping their votes will ensure their re-elections, a mockery is being made of government while politics continues to be an unfunny joke. Making matters worse in America is …

The USA does very little to decrease the demand for drugs. Follow the money. Yet, the same country will criminalize and punish the low-level folks who traffic drugs. Follow the money. Right now, in another show of force, the US is blowing up fishing boats in international waters near Venezuela under the guise of narco-terrorrism. Approximately 80 people have been unalived as result of military strikes on their boats. Let's be clear...the majority of fentanyl and cocaine coming into the USA isn't being trafficked on those small azz fishing boats. Most of the drugs pouring into the USA come from Colombia and M…

If you pay close attention to Trump and the Republican rhetoric on immigration......you'll notice that they're starting to focus their aim and target BLACK immigrants like Haitians. At first it was ALL illegal immigrants. Then the focus was on Venezuelan immigrants. Now they are focusing their sights on Haitian immigrants and not distinguishing between the legal ones OR illegal ones. If you also notice...... Through out the years when Trump promised to deport millions of illegal immigrants, he didn't identify any nationality. He simply said "illegals" and left it at that. When asked for specifics on how he'd do it....he wouldn't give an answer. He'd b…

Based on the current racial climate in America, one might assume the answer to the question in the title is no. Watching two black men get arrested in a Starbucks coffee shop simply for being black or watching the story of a white woman call the police on a black man for legally having a bar-b-Que in a park, supports the idea there is a conspiracy to suppress or eradicate black men from America. Add to these two incidences our current president who refused to condemn the action of a racist hate group and it’s should be easy to understand why there is so much pessimism and negativity on the minds of black men. How can we as black men be optimistic when even some of …

The Senecas, members of the Iroquois Confederacy, fought on the side of the British in the American Revolution. Red Jacket, also known as Sagoyewatha, was a chief and orator born in eastern New York; he derived his English name from his habit of wearing many red coats provided to him by his British allies. After the hostilities, as the British ceded their territories to the Americans, the Senecas and many other Indian peoples faced enormous pressure on their homelands. Red Jacket was a critical mediator in relations between the new U.S. government and the Senecas; he led a delegation that met with George Washington in 1792, when he received a peace medal that appeared in …
