Armageddon has come for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who rent their apartments and who lost their jobs du ring this Pandemic. This is horrible and a human tragedy. My hope is that many get this news quickly and act on getting assistance immediately. NYC Eviction Moratorium Has Expired

It is a victory for those who protest continuing police brutality and racism against Black people. To all who protest the deaths of innocent Black men, women and children at the hands of police ... thank you. Three cops convicted of violating George Floyd's civil rights

SURPRISE!--Another Undetected GREEN COMET Has Just Showed Up Near the Sun! The Three Green Comets; SWANN (2025), ZTF & Nishimura of 2023 Part II-The Swan Comet One possible explanation given for the green comet that just appeared on the SWANN spacecraft and although it was obviously here for many months undetected was that it just exploded and became bright enough to be seen. This explanation only confirms my memory because, although I searched and searched in the past few years for a reference, I could not find any. I absolutely remember reading Biblical commentary about the mysterious 'dark green comet', Wormwood, that may be able to mo…

Remember when Oscar Grant was executed by that BART cop (Oakland) on New Year's Eve 2008-09? The cop served only 11 months in prison. Three months later, March 2009, Lovelle Mixon of Oakland killed four cops with an AK-47 (and shot another cop that survived). Fast forward 17 months to August 2010. Omar Thornton said (paraphrasing) in the 911 call, "this place is racist, so I handled the problem myself." He was referring to a beer company he did deliveries for. He pulled out two pistols and shot like eight white people at work. At least seven were killed if I remember right. He deliberately did not shoot any black people working there. You can read about Mauric…

Hey @Pioneer1 I could not help but think of you when listening to Neil Irwin Painter relate the pseudo-science of race from her book the History of White People.

Well, social media is all a-twitter over the trending topic fueled by actress Meryl Streep's politicizing her acceptance speech at Sunday's televised Golden Globe's ceremony where she was being honored with a Life-time Achievement Award. Without mentioning his name, she called out Donald Trump for the incident where he made fun of a disabled NY Times reporter during his campaign, saying she was appalled that such a man was about to take office as president. Naturally the room, which was filled with Hollywood's liberal community, was in accord except for a few notable outsiders like Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn whose stricken faces were panned in on by the TV cameras. …

Hide the white women! Really--if I was one of his opponents I'd make sure there was plenty of blonde white women in the crowd--he's probably been going cold turkey for months since this blew up and it will throw him off his game. Honestly, I heard that there is a questionaire going around for women who want to date Tiger. There is just one question: Are you white? That Negro is going to wind up like O.J. Simpson.

Man, by the time they are through with him he will be as big a laughing stock as Michael Jackson Marion, OJ, Michael Tiger Woods Is this what happens to Blacks they say is doin' good? Tiger’s Got Wood at Pure Pleasure http://www.riverfronttimes.com/locations/ad/693505/869844

I love the fact that the two parties can unite around this sole issue in the house of representatives. This issue represents the third path. For me, this is the history of the internet. The internet with all of its usa based, infiltrating/spying/sneaking/data thieving websites was acceptable. but then, came, the first, and to date only non usa based website to truly gain mass appeal in the usa. Bytedance's tiktok and the usa system is full against it. Helping native americans get what they are owed? multivided Helping blacks get what they are owed? multivided Helping women grow faster? multivided Helping countries outside …

The incoming POTUS will take credit for keeping the lights on at TIkTok. The CEO of TikTok will be attending pre-inauguration events too. In the meantime, TikTok parent company, ByteDance, is looking for $40-$50 billion dollars to sell it to an American company. I don't use the platform so buying into it is of no interest to me.😁😎

What do you think of the film?

Sen. Tim Scott announced that he is suspending his presidential campaign. The South Carolina Republican senator made the announcement in a televised interview on Fox News with his longtime friend Trey Gowdy. The news came as a shock to his own staff. Multiple campaign staff members confirmed to Politico that they had no prior knowledge of Scott’s decision before he did so on live television The New York Times backed up the AP report by adding that some staffers found out that they were stranded by watching TV, “Mr. Scott conducted the Fox News interview from a television studio in his home and told his staff on a call after he spoke to Mr. Gowdy, according to …

. Lately I have been reading about time. It seems to be a hard thing to describe. I have also been thinking about the quality of time. Although we mostly think about time as quantities. It is paradoxical because it is the only resource we have at our disposal, yet we can neither accumulate it nor save it. And we trade it for money, fun and everything else.

Electricity and magnetism are the same force. However they have an inverse relationship. The same could be said of Time and Space. In Astrology we interpret the relationships of objects in space. I have recently found that interpreting using time is even more informative. It has required me to create a new symbol set that has both alphabetical and numerical qualities.

Today, August 18, 2011, is my 78th birthday, and I had considered engaging in a self-indulgent monologue attesting to the old adage of Life being not about the destination, but about the Journey. Yet, who needs platitudes? Uppermost in my mind is actually an amazment exceeded only by the gratitude I feel over having made it this far. My parents and siblings and so many of my friends have all gone on ahead, including the good buddy who was my husband. Yet, In moments of self-imposed solitude, I am alone but not lonely; reminiscence and serenity are my close companions serving as a Yin to the Yang of the vivacious children and grandkids who rejuvenate me. So, all thi…

Hours after making an appearance and speaking a few words at the Vatican, Pope Francis passed away. Pope Francis was 88 years old. He served in that role for 12 years. I remember when he was selected. Time flies. By most accounts, Pope Francis was one of the most personable and open-minded leaders of the Catholic church. He didn't live in the typical Vatican residence. Preferred to stay in an apartment on the premises. He will go down in history as a great one. Obviously, Pope Francis has to be laid to rest. The College of Cardinals will go into a conclave to select the next Pope. It will be interesting to see who ascends to…

@Cynique I am slowly seeing that tine is a language, that is encoded with numbers that measure it's passing. Or rather time is a way to quantify the movement of planets and stars

I have recently been trying to qualify time. I have chosen times both for myself, friends and clients. So far the results have been good. I have found ways of describing time and then commencing activities at specific point in time to capture and utilise the energy of time. I have been able to describe the following qualities and use them: acceptance through openness; acceptance through understanding; efficiency one was internal the other was external; optimism. The other cool thing is that the experiment is also making me more introspective. They can be the starting times for meditations or the beginning of an activity. They can change from one se…

Since Mel and Zaji have made themselves scarce, i'm going on hiatus, too. You boys can discuss amongst yourselves and exude your testosterone. Time for me to shift into the astral zone and expand my mind...

I have been patiently waiting for 2018 to arrive so that i could enjoy the final season of Game of Thrones. This was my incentive for hangin' around another year, and i'll be damned if the fools haven't pushed the airing of the final season up to 2019! WTF! (Thank you, Pioneer.) Suppose i croak before then, and never find out how it ends and whether my human race sweetie, Jon Snow, - Snow as in "white" , (sorry Troy, ) finally gains his rightful place as ruler of the 7 Kingdoms! i'm now trying to convince myself that if i leave this crazy-assed world before 2019, i will have an excuse to take time off from languishing in the spirit realm and come back as a spook so …

Chicago never wants for controversy. The city abounds with it in all areas: politics, police misconduct, gang killings, a pending teachers strikes, an increasingly unpopular mayor. A couple of weeks ago, I could barely finish wiping my tears over the collapse of my beloved Chicago Bulls basketball team, when a spring training episode erupted in controversy centered around the White Sox. Because one of the Sox's designated hitters with a big contract, was called out by the general manager for bringing his 14-year-old son to work every day, this indignant player opted out of a lucrative contract and quit!. Chicagoland immediately began to take sides on this issue.…

NY Governor Under Fire: Calls For Paterson Meeting Updated: Thursday, 04 Mar 2010, 2:39 PM EST Published : Thursday, 04 Mar 2010, 6:23 AM EST MYFOXNY/AP - The Reverend Al Sharpton is hosting an emergency meeting with minority leaders in Harlem on Thursday night to discuss whether Governor David Paterson should resign. Pressure is mounting for Paterson to step down following several recent scandals. The NY Post reports Sharpton- who has been a supporter of the embattled governor- may be rethinking his position. A Democratic party adviser tells the Associated Press the meeting will take place at a restaurant. Paterson was accused Wednesday…

Ain't Yall Whaddup Yo Double Negatives ( like "Ain't Nobobdy") These words have been called "slang" and "improper English" for decades and they have been marginalized from what is considered standard or correct English. Well, perhaps it's time for this to change. Perhaps it's time that the words we commonly use but are considered "Black English" become part of Standard American English! Who made the decision to keep them out anyway? Most of us use the words "ain't" and "yall", so why the hell AIN'T they considered standard or correct??? Typical American English wasn't considered correct and STILL isn't considered correc…

Help me out here. Nobody has yet to explain to my satisfaction why Democrats should stand on ceremony and stick with a faltering old fart like Joe Biden because when he was at the top of his game, um - he did some good things. Never mind that he is now feeble and in mental decline, - and not polling well! Ignore that Independents and young people are lukewarm about him. Just humor his obstinacy and don't rock the boat. Prop him up, and let him have his way because, well, he is the president and apparently of the same opinion as his opponent when it comes to a president being entitled to special privileges. And above all, continue to wallow in denial and cling to false h…

Chapter 2 One of the most intriguing aspects of time is your relationship with it and one of the most amazing discoveries of your lifetime will commence once you understand my next principle: evolvement versus involvement. Take a brief second to digest this: all of your future decisions will be determined by how much information you provide yourself about you to YOU! Again, it cannot be overemphasized that time is the natural context from which you will construct your choices which, by design, keep track of your decisions. Also know for a certainty that bad choices can retard and impede the growth and maturity that are the naturally-occurring r…

Rodney Campbell @Rodney campbell You said in another thread: "Or how literally every illness disease sickness and negative condition in society is a direct result of the manufactured systemic use of TIME?" I was wondering if you could go into more detail on this. Explain in detailed AND simplistic terms how every illness/disease/sickness is a direct result of the manufactured systemic use of TIME.

Someone shared this with me this morning. It was unattributed, so I can't share the source, but I learn it I will. This reminds me of the HISTORIA AFRICANA DATES FOR MAJOR AFRICAN EVENTS @Mel Hopkins shared a few months ago. 1501 African Slaves in the New World Spanish settlers bring slaves from Africa to Santo Domingo (now the capital of the Dominican Republic). 1522 Slave Revolt: the Caribbean Slaves rebel on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which now comprises Haiti and the Dominican Republic. 1562 Britain Joins Slave Trade. John Hawkins, the first Briton to take part in the slave trade, makes a huge profit hauling human cargo …

The pandemic forced employers to allow folks to work frim home (telework). Productivity didn't seem to suffer. Yet, two years later, companies are looking to bring workers back into their offices even if it's a couple days per week or month. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-musk-says-tesla-needs-070712003.html Tulsa CEO Elon Musk has laid down the gauntlet. Workers can either put 40 hours in the office or pretend to work somewhere else. Musk is also threatening to cut 10% of the workforce due to a "super bad feeling" about the economy. Nevermind that Telsa made about $19 billion during the pandemic. The…

The email below, from Amon Ra El, was in my mailbox this morning. I figured some of you might find some of these videos interesting, though I'm not vouching for any of them. I have seen Zeitgeist previously and thought it was very interesting. I will probably watch Kemet the Mother of Christianity. I started watching The Demonization of Astrology with @Delano in mind, but despite the cute speaker I could not get through the first few minutes. ------ Tis the Season to know the Truth so the truth can completely and finally set you free. . .FREE YOUR IGNORANT MIND AND YOUR IGNORANT ASS WILL FOLLOW !!!

https://time.com/7200212/person-of-the-year-2024-donald-trump/ America re-elected a clown. Time magazine names the incoming clown in chief its person of the Year for the 2nd time. This sh8t is unbelievable but consistent. Stalin (2x), Hitler, Nixon and Putin were Person of the Year too. Apparently, being a dictator, terrorist or criminal carries just as much weight as being a peacemaker, humanitarian or inventor.😎

So much for bending the knee...

I wrote this commentary below a couple of weeks ago but changed my mind about posting it because it was too cynical. But, on second thought, men do need to know they are not premium goods. Marriage really is a sacrifice for women. Especially if love isn't their primary motivation to get wed. In this day, particularly in the black community, where the battle of the sexes is ongoing, certain assumptions are made such as black men and women not being able to live with each other nor being able to live without each. But is it a really a "given" that all black women or woman of any color unequivocally need a committed mate of the opposite sex? …

I've been trying to ignore Republican presidential candidate, Ben Carson, in the hope that he would go away, once people discerned that he's more suited to be a cult leader rather than a world one. No such luck. I underestimated the vindictiveness of those who hate the Media and love the Bible. I learned a lesson about blind faith and arrogant science and how they neutralize each other, leaving the truth in limbo, and conflict in command. I personally reject everything Carson represents: his fanatical Evangelical beliefs, his right-wing Conservative politics, his blatant racial naivete and his anti-feminism, but I am discovering how presumptuous I was to think my senti…

Last night, at the much-anticipated Golden Globe Awards telecast from Hollywood, amidst an ebony sea of sexually-harassed women and their sympathizers, all of whom were garbed in black to display their protest against male predators in the work place, Queen Oprah took to the stage and hit the ball out the park with her speech. There to accept a life time achievement award, Winfrey took the occasion to address the issue that has spawned the "me too" movement made up of women who have long endured being humiliated and disrespected by employers in a position to get away doing this. From all walks of life, victims are now coming out of the woodwork to tell their stories …

Most of you ladies on here seem to be over 40 years old, but some others of you may be in your 20s and 30s. I have a question for you and I'd like you to be TOTALLY honest. Straight up and down. I'm talking about in terms of pure SEXUAL attraction; not maturity, status, looking responsible, etc...but in terms of somebody you'd hop in bed with...lol. How do you feel about grey (white) hair on a man? I'm talking about on top of the head AND/OR in the beard? In other words, if all the other physical factors were the same....would it make a difference if a man's hair was dark, salt-n-pepper, or full grey? Would he be MORE attractive with dar…

TO MY NAY-SAY FRIENDS OF TYLER PERRY AND FOR COLORED GIRLS. Blow it out your ass! Yeah, that's what I said, find a clue and some toilet paper. Well carey,"Tyler Perry is a Black dysfunction porn pimp. He thinks that because he's so dysfunctional that all Black people are as well. I think Oprah falls into this category too" Is that right? Well let me tell you a thang or two. I get so tired of negros that watch a movie, and then cry about how it makes "us" look. Give me a freaking break! First, it's a damn movie, okay. It's one story in time. It's one of a thousand avenues in which one could draw a conclusion and/or opinion on any number of topics includi…

I have never visited 45's Twitter page before 2 minutes ago. There was not need to mainstream and social media shovel 45's tweets as if the were in a race to be the first to share his BS. 7 minutes ago 45 tweeted the following: I was on the New York Times website, while reading a completely unrelated article about the Supreme Court's decision which changes the rules of the collection of sales tax by online retailers. Inside the article the Times included a tweet by Trump applauding the decision (which tells me this must be a bad decision for business like mine). This is what prompted me to visit 45's page 45 has over 53 million followe…

Hey @Delano does that mean anything? I guess I could have asked the question the day before when it was 2/20/2022 on on the on the 2nd, 2/2/2022 😉

Critical Race Theory, so misunderstood by White Conservatives and Black Conservatives, is what I said it is: A university course. And guess what? It DOES make White people uncomfortable. No child would understand a university law course. So it does not matter how loud unhinged and fact-challenged individuals scream that children are being subjected to CRT. Because they're not. Now, if people actually did a bit of research ( instead of getting mad at those who actually do ), they would have discovered this. Duke University's Law School is a description of Course 504 - Critical Race Theory: "The course affords students an opportunity to think abou…

Video: 94 year-old Tom Wood, the first Black person to take their company public and the first be a on a major U.S. bank’s board of directors. I had the pleasure of meeting Tom a couple of weeks ago. The video I created really does not do the man and his accomplishments justice, but people like Tom have to be recognized more and this video is my small part. Tom also published his memoir, Anna’s Boy, this year.

Has anyone here heard of this black male who makes it clear that he believes black women - specifically darkskinned ones - are violent, hair hatted ghetto hooligans? I have to admit...some things he says about them is VERY true. Seems like A LOT of them keep an attitude, are bitter, bald and barbaric as hell.

Do you like folktales/fables/parables? *********************** "Meat of the Tongue" Many years ago, in a land faw away, a great sultan lived in a palace with his wife. But the queen was very bored and unhappy. She would wander the pale, moping, yawning, and crying to herself, "What am I going to do? I am so bored and frustrated." The queen began to lose weight, and her hair began to fall out. Her skin was all pimply and her eyes were bloodshot red. She was, indeed, an unhappy queen. Now, in the village there lived a poor man whose wife was always very happy. When she worked in her garden, she would sin songs to herself and call out to her neighbors, …
