As a huge fan of boxing, I have to chuckle when I hear, read and see anything comimg from the Left. The Democrats are beginning to look and sound like the opponent who lost the fight but refuses to accept they got knocked out. There's a point in some fights where the dominant fighter toys with the whupped opponent. From wind up punches to putting a glove on top of the head and puffy eyes, bloody nose, unlike Rocky movies, the outcome is clear who won the fight. POTUS OJ won. Proving that he's more fit than POTUS PJB, 47 is all over the place from the White House signing executive orders to visiting wildfires and hurricane disaster victims to meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the upcoming Super Bowl. Under the leadership of Elon Musk, POTUS OJ's minions have set out to tear the government down several agencies at a time. There's nothing Democrats can do to stop this train from going off the tracks. They're better off grabbing a bucket of popcorn and soft drinks to enjoy the big top circus. That's not stopping Dems from having parties and eating and drinking and line dancing. Their latest stunt is protesting in fromt of Treasury and Education Departments. The referee can wave off the fight and put an arm around the loser telling them it wasn't their night and encouraging them to live to see another fight or retire. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Maxine Waters were leading the effort looking like two old folks yelling at clouds. I don't know if Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Jasmine Crockett showed up too.😎

Wow. I did not know until I read this that Nelly Fuller Jr. has transitioned, and it has been almost a week. I listen to the radio every day. I'm online every day. I talk to conscious Black people most days. Again, this is why sites like this are important. "The feed" simply does not serve us...why because it exists in the context of a system of white supremacy. RIP Mr. Fuller.

ProfD When I read about Trump's plans for Gaza.....I thought about our teacher Mr. Fuller and the concept of Racial Dislocation He taught that people who are classified as Non-White under this system should be prepared to pack up and move at a moment's notice!

Brotha @Pioneer1, I was hoping you would pop up and start the thread. It's great that we live in the internet age where all of NF Jr.'s teachings are out there. Religious folks have their bibles. I have the United Independent Compensatory Code System Textbook. Thanks to Neely Fuller Jr. who was definitely one of our master teachers. May he RIP. 😎

They have done this. Perhaps not to anyone’s full satisfaction, but certainly not unprecedented. Didn’t Biden issue an apology for slavery. Now the people who committed their atrocities never admit it wrong doing, but they are dead and gone. The government officials alive can admit that historical wrongs were made. Now I don’t expect this to be done in the Trump administration…

I think the tapes will show in greater detail how aggressive our government was against any Black man actively improving Black lives. MLK's extramarital affair is public knowledge.
