  1. Whether it is North Korea or Russia or China, the US likes to keep these boogeymen around to justify its military power & generate lots of money.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. I often hear folks reference the Haitian revolution & Black people down in Louisiana & the Mojaura spirit fightig off white supremacy. The Haitian people I know are cool & they will be the 1st to tell why they ldft fheir home country & came to build a life in the USA. The southern USA still has major challenges when it comes to racism white supremacy. Maybe the mojaura spirit will rise up & overcome racism white supremacy. Gotcha. I'll kick back & listen to some old Jodeci: Time is short in the grand scheme of things especially in relation to the age of the planet. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. You're giving North Korea way more much military power & strength. They don't have it.๐Ÿ˜ The US wouldn't put boots on the ground in either South or North Korea. American troops wouldn't be in harms way. Look no further than current conflict with Iran. No American soldiers in the ground there. The US knows the capabilities of North Korea. If they decided to fire off any type of missles, the US would destroy every last one of them shortly after they launch. That type of conflict might reveal US technology people thought were UAP/UFO which turns out to be advanced military weapons capable of supersonic travel & undetectability. It is hard for most Americans to truly understand the military power & strength of the USA. This country is still the most lethal on the planet. Nobody really wants that smoke.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Nothing is going to pop off over there. In fact, POTUS OJ may be laying the groundwork to stop brainwashing Americans into believing North Korea a some type of threat or paper tiger. ๐Ÿ˜ IOW, I don't think Lil Kim Jong Un will ever get the Iran treatment.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. No matter where that woman slept, she was having a recurring dream about something that satisfied her.๐Ÿคฃ You're right. I don't believe in spirits so there is no reason that I would even consider capturing & putting them in bottles.๐Ÿ˜ I often wonder how & why Black folks didn't use their magical practices to prevent the transatlantic slave trade & defeat & overcome the system of racism white supremacy. Also, it seems as if spirits existed they could be working in our favor too.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. There's still a difference between a microscopic parasite that can be observed with a magnifier & a spirit which is invisble. If spirits existed & got trapped in bottles, it would be a accident....not on purpose.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Modern scientists still cannot capture & stuff spirits in bottles.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Absolutely. Football season is around the corner. Looking forward to it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. NPRTrump orders Pentagon to scale back joint exercises with...President Trump explained the decision by saying South Korea had declined to help with the "denuclearization" of Iran and he cited his good relationship with North Korea's leader.This is a great example of how geopolitics work. South Korea has been an ally to the US for almost 70 years. The US & South Korea were conducting joint military exercises. POTUS OJ asked South Korea for support in his war against Iran. They declined. POTUS OJ ordered SECDEF to cancel joint exercises. POTUS OJ touted his good relationship with Kim Jong Un. Remains to be seen how that materializes from a geopolitical perspective.
  10. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-governors-race-primary-results-byron-donalds-david-jolly/ Not too much of a surprise that FL Rep. Byron Donalds has won the GOP gubernatorial nomation. Rep. Donalds will go up against Democratic candidate David Jolly in November election. As one of the leading Black faces & mouth-pieces of the MAGA movement & diehard supporter of POTUS OJ, Rep. Donalds could become the heir to the current dumbazz Florida governor. That's not saying a whole lot positive about the state of Florida. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Right. Black man gotta press through all of that towards the mark of the high calling. Can't stop trying or give up. Sure. Some of it is ignorance. Most of the dumb sh8t people do is an arrogant belief that they're getting over in some way. Young people are allowed to make mistakes & dumb decisions. No excuses for a 50+ year old. Maybe so.๐Ÿคฃ I think Kim Jong Un has his hand firmly on the wheel over there.๐Ÿ˜ Just head POTUS OJ may be thinking about switching Korean dance partners. That may be food for a separate thread. Greeter jobs would exist beyond Wal-Mart.๐Ÿ˜ A welcoming, smiling face & hello makes people feel better when they show up somewhere to take care of business or get services or spend money.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. To your analogy, Traore could have maintained ties with France. The USA & Russia are similar pimps in this situation. I would like to see Traore establish partnerships with the Global South i.e. other African countries & certain Asian countries. That could still be in play as well. Again, I'm just glad Traore appears to be doing something for Burkina Faso other than selling out to white supremacy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. In order to keep another country from taking over Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore has to get weapons from somewhere especially if he's not going to build factories & make them. Otherwise, I have much respect for Traore as a Black man trying to reinforce the sovereignty of his country. Many leaders look to enrich themselves & family & friends while leaving the country in bad or worse shape. Ibrahim Traore will be a rich man in Burkina Faso but he's working hard for it & trying to make his country better too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. @aka Contrarian...wishing you a very happy b'day.๐Ÿฅณ Of course, I hope you have many more. I'm counting on you to tell me what 100 feels like.๐Ÿ˜ Glad you've made another trip around the sun & checked in to let us know.๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. He could have asked for help. Many more people would be better off if they didn't spend so much time doing dumb sh8t. Gambling away decades of life eventually comes up snake eyes. Glad I could paint it.๐Ÿ˜ People who have put in the time to retire from a career or job look forward to it. Disability & workman's compensation claims are popular ways for people to.get out of working. Having a job one h8tes is a tough situation. Admirable that they are gainfully employed. Bummer that it sucks out their soul. No amount of money can fix it.๐Ÿ˜Ž In my kingdom, that would not stop me from putting able-bodies folks to work. I'll find some type of work they can enjoy doing.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. I stay pretty well-informed but I haven't heard about an uptick in Black men killing their families. Black folks have been abusing alcohol & drugs just as long as white folks. Seems the number of users increased as alcohol & drugs became cheaper. The closet is the only thing that kept gay Black men from prancing around like they do now.๐Ÿ˜ Otherwise, gay Black men have been around for a long time without being influenced by white folks. White mass shooters still out-number Black mass shooters by a mile. People have gone bat-sh8t crazy with these pets.๐Ÿคฃ When I was a kid, dogs lived outside unless it was extremely cold. Dogs didn't eat specialized food or wear clothes or go for car rides, play in dog parks & have veterinarian appointments. I can imagine there are people who think Americans are insane for considering pets as members of their families. People allowing dogs & cats to sleep in their beds &/or kissing on them really need mental health evaluations because that isn't normal behavior.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Technology has changed a lot over 1.000 years. People who lived 1,000 years ago would have been blown away by railroads & electricity & motor vehicles & mass transit & highways, etc. To date, the best technology to which we have access cannot capture spirits if they did exist. No way a human can capture & stuff spirits in a bottle. Not familiar with a true holographic picture being made up of tiny images of the main. I always thought holograms were created by manipulating light around an object. Using holographic technology, they can create a Tupac or Michael Jackson or Prince concert.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. I believe reliance on technology will diminish cognitive abilities. For example, when I was a young person, we remembered telephone #s. Cell phones have totally eliminated the need to remember anyone's phone #. Nowadays, folks can use a voice command to dial anyone in their contacts. AI will make it even more commonplace for people to do certain things without even thinking about it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. You did respond on last Saturday. Dr. Fauci could be hiding whatever the government does not want people to know. The DOJ would be investigating the contempt of Congress charge. They won't be able to get Dr. Fauci to spill any beans. However, the DOJ won't have a problem wasting time & money on an investigation. If such a thing exists, you can rest assured that they are funneling huge amounts of money into governments for compliance. States are not bound to Presidential pardons. Each state would have to open their own case against Dr. Fauci. There are not too many Blue or Red states willing to go down that road. They will follow the federal lead. Obviously, any evidence &/or proof that currently exists is not strong enough to make a case against Dr. Fauci. It would have been done long before Sen. Rand Paul tried to bring the pandemic back into public conscience. I predict there will be no investigation into the pandemic or vaccines; short or long-term effects of it. No different from the HIV/AIDS of the 1980s. COVID-19 was biological warfare tested on the human population. If ever there becomes a need or desire to de-populate, governments have the data from death counts to controlling large populations of people to maintenance of infrastructure, etc.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. I would not view these isolated events as too many Black men adopting the behaviors of white men. It's similar to Andrew Gillum getting caught with crystal meth. That seems to be a white man's drug. Gillum is a one of one. He doesn't represent a trend among Black men. Same goes for this bastard who killed his family. Black men are not being influenced by dysfunctional white men to a significant degree. Especially not when it comes to drugs &/or killing families.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Gotta admit they keep the forum interesting. ๐Ÿคฃ While it appearsI do not share 1/2 their beliefs, I certainly can appreciate the conviction they bring to the dialog.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Every now & then, Black folks will kill their families & themselves. It doesn't seem to happen among our people as much as white folks. The same stressors &/or mental problems affect people similarly when it comes to familicide. I believe people exhibit signs before they embark on such a killing spree. For whatever reason, other folks aren't taking it seriously until it's too late.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. How are spirits classified in order to know which can captured? This only works because the elephant has been captured for so long it doesn't know &/or believe in its freedom. It would be interesting to know many people around the planet have genies in bottles.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. There's a job that an able-bodied adult can do wirhout f8cking it up. Give them a trash pick-up stick & bag. Surely, nobody would hire that guy to work in food service. But, he would fit on a construction site as a laborer. Right. Because there's no shortage of things that need to be done. I just drove through Delaware. They've got enough corn fieds to keep people employed for years. It is disgusting. I blame their parents for enabling that foolishness. Sure. Especially when compared to others who have more. Correct. A rich man doesn't have to work. Yep. The privilege of being human. There's nobody in Wakanda laying around doing absolutely nothing more than socializing, relaxing & leisure. Right. That muscle-bound n8gglet will be on a construction site moving the heaviest materials. Most definitely. Folks gonna work for it. I can always find something for people to do within their knowledge, skills & abilities.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. No surprise that Dr. Fauci has been found to be in contempt of Congress. His case will be referred to the Department of Justice. More wasted time & money. Even if DOJ successfully prosecutes a case of contempt, Dr. Fauci will never see the inside of a prison cell. Nor will he be compelled to spill any beans. Brotha @frankster ...surely you don't believe this series of events will produce any evidence or proof of his ties to the pandemic. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
