I honestly do not know what happened to Shanquella. But her friends must either have direct knowledge or pertinent information. I do not want to speculate. But @Chevdoveis right. Her "friends" need to interviewed by hard nosed detectives.

@Pioneer1 Blacks will never be able to unite unless we get our thinking straight. You demand Blacks need to leave California because Latinos have the numbers in Southern California. Which eliminates any chance of Blacks having a major voice in U.S. presidential elections for the future. If you are not a resident of California, then you cannot vote there. Which lessens the chance of Democrats winning the state's electoral votes. That is not a strategy. That is surrender. And all because you are still pissed off about a citation you received for jaywalking years ago. You also claimed that Haiti needs to return to pre-Christian traditional African beliefs. On what basis? Because YOU think so? The only way to quell the horrible gang violence in Haiti is a military intervention and the country in the best position to accomplish this is the United States. Calling on spurious spirits will not help at all. It sounds as if you don't know a lot about Haiti's 20th Century history or even what led to it which is the Monroe Doctrine and chicanery and skullduggery by vile U.S. politicians and their Black turncoat lackeys. I also recall you demanding a group of Blacks take revenge on the Buffalo, N.Y., Tops Supermarket shooter by traveling there and killing him. The only problem was the dude was already in custody and just as I predicted, is not going to see the light of freedom for the rest of his natural life. At times, you pop off with weird shit that is always based on your ego.

According to some sources, she did win some money. But the guy who apparently stonewalled her had friends and they badmouthed her. She kept singing and was thought to be trying to make a comeback. But the Covid 19 pandemic kept her fearful and she stayed by herself. She avoided dating anyone following her divorce from her stuntman husband. Again, this is according to published gossip pieces.

Chevdove is right. Trump would have done nothing to free Britney and I don't believe he would have done much to get Paul Whelan home either. How Republicans are reacting: The rage of Republicans over Britney's release is unbelievable

According to the BBC, WNBA star Britney Griner has been freed in exchange for that Russian arms dealer. This is why one should NEVER count out President Joe Biden. Think that clown Trump would have done much to help free her?

Just how important was Raphael Warnock’s re-election victory? Wheeeeeely Important. It was the first time since 1934 that every Senate incumbent of the party of a sitting President won reelection. That is history making. As I’ve said before, Biden’s careful handling of the country and its economy is far superior to anything Trump ever managed. By adding to their one seat margin, Democrats no longer have to depend on Conservatives Joe Manchin (D-WVa) or Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to pass bills or confirm judges. Both have been notoriously unreliable since 2021 when Democrats needed them to pass Covid relief bills and they steadfastly refused to consider a new Voting Rights Bill. Now, Dems can simply pass legislation without needing to kiss their butts or making huge concessions. But the danger is not over. As ProfD noted, the narrow victory margin for Warnock points to an uncomfortable reality. Folks hate Black people and with so many turncoats among us out there, we can ever let our guard down. Hate is up against Latinos, Jews, Gays, the Indigenous and the Poor. Every election is important. Every vote is important. We should never be content to think that others will do what we should be doing ourselves. Which is voting to promote, protect and advance our agenda. Saying you’re not going to vote was never an option for Warnock supporters. To not vote is no plan for the future. It’s Surrender.

@Pioneer1 Aren't you the one who demanded Black people decamp from California because Spanish-speaking migrants had arrived and had thoroughly established themselves? In effect, you were ceding future presidential elections. Without Black voters, our people have no way of interjecting our views and aims into a presidential election. You were hoping Karen Bass lost her mayoral election for Los Angeles. Explain how you win state electoral votes without being in that state in large numbers to actually vote. The way forward is by changing our mindset. Build Coalitions as Barack Obama did before he ran for the White House. However, for many this seems too straightforward, too practical and would appear headed for success. So they would rather grouse, complain and whine. Failing to vote is not a political statement. It is Surrender.

@Pioneer1 The vote totals for both were the highest in history. If anyone is disappointed by Biden and Warnock's slim victory margins, they can blame growing HATRED.

Biden's ideas have prevailed. You were always a turncoat, Daniellegfny.

@ProfD It was close the last time, too. These are projected results. I am certain in all-White counties, some votes were counted towards the former running back that should not have been. I am giddy because I know some of the silliest Black turncoats, truth deniers and sellouts are crying right now. I got tissues.

Rev. Warnock beat the phony.

@Pioneer1 Trump has Sellouts by the truckload. I said previously that the dude is a clown.

@Pioneer1 Oh, go easy on 'da boy. His lovin' crush, Werewolf Walker, lost his election tonight. Some people simply do not understand global politics, international relations or how to conduct Matters of State. That seems to be the case with many Republicans these days. Especially the ones who have dark skin and go running off in search of a massa butt they can lick. When it comes to Britney, she will either serve most of her prison term or be released secretly without fanfare.

The Democrats now have a two-member edge in the Senate, leveling another Donald Trump toady. Hee hee hee! Now, name some great judges, President Biden. You are the THIRD Democratic President who reduced the budget deficit. You will go down in history as a tough POTUS, willing to stand up the nastiness of the Republithugs and the craziness of the defenders of the BIg Lie. Rev. Raphael Warnock put the finishing touches on the mythical bullchit that Donald Trump is super unbeatable when it comes to politics and a business genius. Trump's entire company was convicted of fraud. Trump Org. was found guilty of criminal tax fraud, conspiracy and falsifying records. Trump is a clown. I said so a couple of weeks ago. Believe it.

Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO. I know that's hard for you to grasp. Take your rear end to Brussels and protest.

We are not talking about his positions ... just his intelligence. Let him run for President. The Holocaust happened. There's proof. Black Slavery happened. There's proof. The Slaughter of Native Americans happened. There's proof. Republicans cast doubt on all this history or try to blame the victims. And many Black Republicans go along with such insane beliefs. Which is why your Red Wave fizzled.

@Pioneer1 My previous post about your view of Joe Biden, Ukraine and Russia, Karen Bass andd your belief Mike Pence is quite intelligent stands. Nothing more to say.l

Know what else I take as a no? You actually THINKING about an issue. Karen Bass will not represent just Black Angelenos. She will represent the entire city. I know this a hard concept for you to grasp. You being a "Mike Pence is brilliant" believer and all. You exhorting a view that the U.S. and NATO need to launch nukes in defense of a country whose capital city name you couldn't even pronounce a year ago. You espousing the canard that Black people need to pack up and run away if a group of folks speaking a different language move onto the next block. When you say something that actually makes sense and is DOABLE that will benefit Black people, get back to me. But your defeatist attitude, cowardly outlook and belief that the almighty White man has all the answers is disconcerting to me.

I don't care where a person graduated from. Stuff like this impresses a dude such as YOU! What has Pence said that leads you to think he's so damn smart? Name your sources. Go ahead. How many news stories and in what magazines and what links can you provide to back up your assertion? NAME THEM. LIST THEM. I bet you won't. So, when are you going to volunteer to fight the Russians?

She won and she shut up naysayers such as yourself. Let her appoint her advisers, receive input from those who supported her and those who opposed, formulate a plan and then get to work. The world does not work on your schedule.

It is NOT our fight. If you believe in this so damn strongly, then you sign up as a volunteer and go fight the Russians. Don't drag celebrities with you! You're just a warmonger. Go yourself.

daniellegfny believes if we return the oaf Trump to the White House and bestow magic dictatorial powers to him, the world will be happy place. Hate will fade away and everyone will be rich. I'm sure Santa agrees.

@Pioneer1 I'll check back in when you stop responding to individual sentences. Analyses are not written for children.

@Pioneer1 Pence is not smart. He's a follower and keeps to whatever script is handed to him. And you are ignoring DeSantis. It's the Florida Governor who is the dangerous one. His supporters will openly lie, distort, destabilize and even kill. Look at what they've accomplished in the Sunshine State which was once a Swing State. And what are some Black people doing in the face of all of this? Whining, running away, hoping and wishing that our smartest and most accomplished political candidates fail. Know how the African National Congress defeated Apartheid? By accepting help from anywhere the could get it. From the Soviet Union, from Cuba, from non-aligned nations, millions of student activists, business people, Whiles with a Conscience --- anywhere. What is this called today in politics? Coalition Building. It's how Obama won. Twice.

Alliances and coalitions are the key. Obama did not win with Black votes alone. He built an incredible multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural coalition. One cannot start a communications company without capital. But you notice, some scream about this - but never offer a detailed blueprint of how to go about it. Those in the TV, radio and cable TV industries who have backing have tried this - and failed. However, this biggest impediment to Black people creating "our own" media remains demented and sellout Black people, who back stupid GOP candidates who continually push for regulations and laws that weaken or eliminate our ability to do this such as this. How to find them? All too easy. Take a quick poll: Who on here backs the numbnut, Herschel Walker? And you'll have your answer.
