There's a possibility the Russia-UkraIne conflict could end sooner than later. To date, more than 2 million people in total have been unalived in that war. When the bullets and bombs stop, Ukraine still won't be a member of NATO. The Russia-Ukraine conflict was an exercise in which cousins unalived each other over a territorial dispute. These countries have destroyed lives and property at the cost of billions of dolllars. Surely, money that could have been better spent making life better for its citizens. Instead, Russians and Ukrainians were cheering for their side as if it was a sporting event. The…

Life is a journey of ups and downs, twists and turns. Despite whatever is going on in our lives and the world around us, we have something for which to be thankful. So, I hope that you have a wonderful day whether it is in food and fellowship with family and friends or a lower key affair or in quiet solitude. Just be thankful for your life, health and strength.😎

https://apnews.com/article/zelenskyy-security-guarantees-trump-meeting-washington-eebdf97b663c2cdc9e51fa346b09591d Ukrainian President Zelensky was supposed to show up at the White House Oval Office to sign a minerals deal, shake hands and smile for the cameras. Go home to a cease-fire. Instead, President Zelensky was ambushed by POTUS OJ and his VP. They clearly feel differently about him than the previous administration. Zelensky stood his ground and vowed to keep fighting. Needless to type, President Zelensky was booted out of the Oval Office. No deal. No post-meeting news conference. Ukraine will have to continue being…

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.

This was article emailed to me today. As I mentioned in another conversation, I have not been following the nonsense between Trump and Musk. However, I did read this article and found it very funny. The word "lickspittle" made me laugh out loud. I never read the word lickspittle before, but it certainly not something you wanna be LOL! (Nathan Howard/Reuters) When the end finally came, it was spectacular. Two narcissistic bullies, enjoying a marriage of diminishing convenience, finally decided to stop lying about each other. The point of no return was reached when Musk effectively accused President Trump of raping underage girls. Of cour…

This is a free share to the New York Times article. By Anna Kodé Anna Kodé reported from Carter G. Woodson’s office home in Washington. Published Feb. 1, 2024Updated Feb. 6, 2024 The origins of Black History Month can be traced back nearly a hundred years to an unassuming, three-story brick rowhouse in Washington. In 1922, Carter G. Woodson, known as “the father of Black history,” bought the home at 1538 Ninth Street NW for $8,000. The home served as the headquarters…

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.

Embattled UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to resign at some point. Maybe PM Johnson will finally get to the barbershop for a decent hair cut. He also needs to see a tailor to get fitted for suits. After 60 members of his government quit, PM Johnson has lost the confidence of his party. The citizens are ready to see his circus leave town too. I hope the US will be fortunate enough to keep its former clown in chief from bringing his big top back to Washington. All it takes is for the GOP to close ranks and shut him out. Unfortunately, power and greed are intoxicating. 😎

Many African Americans living along the banks of North Florida’s Suwannee River still refuse to eat catfish caught from its murky waters, knowing that these bottom feeders had at some point dined on the decaying corpses of their lynched relatives. This book chronicles how bolita, from its birth in segregationist Suwannee County in the 1930s to its death in the 1950s, led to Blood on the Suwannee. Bolita’s first casualty was the surreptitious murder of a prominent white bolita queen in the 1930s that inadvertently led to the expansion of bolita and bootleg liquor in the county. The second casualty—the untimely drowning death of fifteen-y…

MY COMMENT but i ask you, what should the state of white priviledge be ? Why wouldn't a majority of whites in a state, not demand advantages in their favor when that was and is the status quo or what their forebears made the usa for? IN AMENDMENT One of the problems I have with so many in the USA is they don't seem to comprehend that many others in the USA don't share their view and no true majority exists. Yes, some try to talk about the legal code. But the legal code of the usa was created by people whose actions most cancellers in the USA today will consider worthy of being cancelled. In the black community in the USA the variance between blacks…

September 13, 2022 https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2064&type=status I stated that the Black community was incorrect to itself concerning education. In this very same forum, how often have Black folk complained about a so called lack of education among our own. A demand for this and that in terms of goals in the education system in the USA which black people never controlled or administered in majority. And yes, it matters when someone not black is governing Black people. Said someone is a fellow human but that includes their human dislikes or desires that don't go alongside other humans. Recently I used simple proof th…

Commitment to America. It’s an action plan to make All Americans proud, safe and prosperous!!! None of that Hug a Thug Democrat Criminals get out jail free, is in this commitment. This means Americans will be able to start feeling safer in their cities. Like a hurricane 🌀 Democrats have threatened our children’s education by attacking the family structure, foundation of America and even their very identity as boys and girls. There’s much more in it that will make America 🇺🇸 the shining beacon of hope it has always been. Do yourself a favor and read it. Give yourself a dose of pride and hope.

This is a brief article from Publishers Weekly (PW), which is the largest publishing trade publication in the country, perhaps the world. The article mentions several Black-owned website -- all of which predate AALBC by at least a -- and AALBC is 25 years old! I have been interviewed by PW several times over the years. One has to recognize that PW is the best chronicler of the Black Book World that is still in print. There have been others, who did the job better, like the Quarterly Black Review (QBR) and Black Issues Book Review (BIBR), but these publications did not last very long, have both been out of print for years. We have lost many publ…

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/jimmy-carter-death-news-12-29-24/index.html A month and a half after voting in the last election, 39th POTUS Jimmy Carter has passed away. POTUS Carter had been in hospice for almost 2 years. Also, he survived his wife, former FLOTUS Rosalynn Carter by 1 year and 1 month. We knew his time was drawing near. Fittingly, before the New Year rolls in, whatever will become of this country is no longer of concern to him. RIP POTUS Jimmy Carter.😎

Award shows make money by promoting fashions or selling advertising/sponsorship space, the giving of awards is only the teaser to the profit, giving awards don't make money on their own. Money making can not coincide with everything else. To restate, if you want an civil thoughtful courteousnes/place of a court, that can not occur alongside fiscal capitalistic profiteering. Sooner or later, or inevitably, fiscal capitalistic profiteering will lead to a lack of civlity or a lack of thoughtfulness, from some human actors. https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/658-economic-corner-35-02232026/

All I wanted was the elimination of the Individual Mandate, but so much more was gained. Now there are an additional $500 Billion reasons to vote Trump. So I cast my ballot today.

https://www.npr.org/2024/07/01/1198912764/consider-this-from-npr-draft-07-01-2024 No surprise. In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS gives former POTUS presidential immunity. More than likely, cases brought against him will be dropped. If he's re-elected, he'll be able to have DOJ drop the charges or pardon himself. Either way, if Dems thought courts cases would turn the orange man into Tang kool-aid, it's not working. Former POTUS Orange Julius aka Teflon Don is still skating and skirting the judicial system. 😎

Miss Ivory Coast, Olivia Yase, Has Just Relinquished Her Title as 4th Runner Up Miss Universe! I am so proud of her! It seem too, that more and more people are voicing their anger on how they believe that she was cheated out of the crown! Even though most of the contestants were gorgeous and awesome, it seems obvious that this girl won that crown! This one Brazilian man voiced his anger too, about Olivia being cheated out of the crown, and I am sure he too knows that Miss Brazilian was also a total beauty. There were so many other girls that I thought did so much better than the winner, for instance, Miss Puerto Rico was gorgeous. In the Intern…

A wannabe deputy trying to make a citizen's arrest, 25-year old white female, has been convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment: https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgia-woman-fights-murder-case-killing-stranger-citizens-arrest Just like George Zimmerman, this woman thought she was law enforcement. Despite being told not to pursue by a 911 operator, she chased down and shot and killed a Black man after a minor traffic accident. Now, she will spend at least 43 years in prison before she's eligible for parole at 68 years old. Of course, white racists are proud of her actions. She will be a celebrity in …

Those Egyptian Eyes: Genetics & the Bible Part II Introduction~ Who Came First? POINT: 1-8, 9-15. [POINT: 1] Today, the word ‘African’ can express a variety of distinct meanings so the term will usually be coupled with another expression to distinguish among certain racial groups. So, the term ‘Indigenous African’ will often be used to define early African people that have similarities as opposed to many other people that later came to be defined also as African. Likewise, the term ‘African American’ today, can reflect many different kinds of people so, other terms are affixed to distinguish the earliest kinds of people…

Well, it looks as if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have defeated would-be dictator Donald Trump yet again. The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, Dec. 12, swatted aside the Trump campaign’s desperate attempt from the Texas Attorney General to invalidate the 2020 election. In effect, legal experts concluded that Justices determined Texas has no business trying to dictate how other states conduct their elections. According to the NBCnews Website: “Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said the court had no authority to refuse a case filed on its original docket, where one state files to sue another. But they said they would not have granted Texas any other relief and exp…

Having huge problems with posting this in the What are you Listening to now thread for some reason. Probably something to do with the device I'm using so I'll have to make do with it here. I think this is from 1972. I could be a year out mind.

Focus on the first 12 minutes of the video.....the rest of the video is just Tariq clowning on the caller...lol. 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.
