  1. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2026/05/11/hantavirus-cruise-ship-quarantine-passengers-updates--live/90023430007/ A few people have died & others are sick after picking up Hantavirus on a cruise ship. Hantavirus comes from rodent excretions. They seem to think a stop in Argentina may have exposed passengers to the virus. Hantavirus is spread among humans by close contact. Supposedly, it's not transmitted as easily as other viruses. There's no cure for Hantavirus. It has to run its course. People with healthy immune systems recover. Compromised folks may have a harder time. The World Health Organization and other medical professionals are telling folks not to worry too much about the spread of Hantavirus. Guess they don't want the pandemic panic attacks. In the meantime, passengers are being quarantined & traced. The media is running with scissors. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. We've already discussed those incidents which officialdom discredited in one way or another. Maybe one day in our lifetime the proof & evidence I'm waiting on will manifest. We'll keep this line open.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Whenever the dust settles, POTUS OJ will be clinically defined as a megalomaniac. That will explain his narcissism, misogyny, pettiness, insecurities, etc.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. She was initially Randy's girlfriend. He had a few children with her. Jermaine must have seen her at gatherings and decided he wanted a piece of the action keeping it all in the family.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Fair enough. I've observed a pattern of behavior among them for over a half-century that provides enough proof & evidence that leads me to know it's more than generalization. I don't see how or why POTUS OJ, a supposedly wealthy man, who is a world leader can or would be insecure when it comes Black women or anybody else for that matter who has no power over him. What threat do smart Black women pose to POTUS OJ? As I've mentioned before, this country warts & all is my birthplace. The USA is where I grew up. My family, friends & associates are here. Just like a family or anything else, I can still dislike certain aspects of it for one reason or another. We don't get to pick & choose our family members or countrymen.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Warts & all, there's a reason people from all over the planet have migrated to America. Of course, some Black folks didn't have a choice.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Correct. Jermaine & Randy have sibling-cousins. Not gossip. It's been a known fact for decades.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Who or what determines these are official? Hopefully it's not the same lying bodies that have been playing the games for many decades.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. We'll see & hear what they choose to make available. in the meantime, I'm still waiting for a UFO/UAP crash landing in a Wal-Mart parking lot on a busy day.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Interesting to have such a response to basically the same sh8t they've been peddling for a long time. Reminds me of Charlie Brown & Lucy & the football prank that never seems to get old. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. White folks are not intimidated by non-whites with qualifications & credentials. They use that as a way to control the number if non-whites allowed to thrive under the system of racism white supremacy. Otherwise, there's no shortage of unqualified white people allowed in any given position up to POTUS. Merely being white is a qualification. White men do not marry women for their intelligence or lack thereof.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. Right. Joe Jackson enjoyed everything that came with making his family rich.๐Ÿ˜ Kathryn the matriarch held it down & kept them together. Neither Joe nor Kathryn could stop Jermaine & Randy from having kids by the same woman. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Among the living, Dr. Cornel West & Michael Eric Dyson engage in quite a bit of intellectualism.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Technically, China is the oldest empire & still going strong.๐Ÿ˜‰ If the USA implodes under its largesse & collapses losing any type of empire status, the consolation can be that Great Britain, Italy, Turkey & Russia, etc. still exist. Otherwise, the world has been taken over by global capitalists. Countries will become business centers. Super-power countries will continue to exist as major hubs for the global capitalists. Think of it like the airport system.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Two things can be true. The Jacksons could have had a difficult childhood. But, their father, Joe Jackson was determined to keep them from becoming factory workers. Joe Jackson successfully pushed his children into fame, celebrity & stardom. He provided his wife with a better life. I do not recall any Jackson including momma Kathryn throwing away the fortunes they made in the music business because of how Joe sacrificed their lives.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
