Congress Vacations While No Pay for TSA Agents
Right. It's more political theater. Politicians are holding up bills to spend money over disagreements in ICE operations TSA, CBP, Coast Guard & cyber-intelligence among other DHS agencies caught in crossfire. POTUS OJ is threatening an end around to get folks paid until Congress does its job.๐

Retired Air Force Major General Missing UFO/UAP
Would be interesting if the general & other missing folks tied to UFO/UAPs are all being held together & well taken care of in a secret facility where they cannot interrogated &/or coerced into giving up information to non-government folks,.๐

Yep. Although some of those young people running up & down the court look like full-grown adults.๐คฃ So far, Michigan is running away with the game. Arizona seems completely out-matched tonight. UConn's head coach short-circuited like a robot drenched in water after that azz whupping the Gamecocks put on his Huskies. ๐คฃ That's what happens when a team is undefeated & believing in their invincibility. The only way to go is down. Poetic because UConn crushed South Carolina last year. I predicted South Carolina would win the women's championship. Hopefully, head coach Dawn Staley & the lady Gamecocks can finish the assignment & hoist the NCAA championship trophy.๐

@aka Contrarian....late on the response but I thought UConn would win that game. I'm going with Arizona getting past Michigan to meet UConn in the championship game. In my tournament challenge, I picked Arizona to win it all. We'll see. On the women's side, I'm glad the South Carolina Gamecocks under head coach Dawn Staley sent undefeated UConn packing.๐คฃ IMO, NCAA Tournament Basketball is more fun to watch because those kids play their hearts out.๐

POTUS Fires Attorney General
Attorney General Pam Bondi has been fired. POTUS OJ says she's going to a lucrative job in the private sector. Deputy AG Todd Blanche will be acting until POTUS OJ selects another one. EPA Chief Lee Zeldin is rumored to be in consideration. Former AG Bondi who remains a loyalist to POTUS OJ had a few hiccups: 1) didn't make Epstein files go away 2) indict POTUS OJ's political enemies 3) embarassing Congressional hearings Surely, POTUS OJ will fire a few more folks before last 2 years 7 months play out. *Reconstructed this post since last didn't migrate to new server.๐

That's RIGHT. You tell her! Nah bro...my post was not directed at our beloved @aka Contrarian. Actually, her post provided a jump-off to address the type of sentiment brotha @richardmurray might express in one of his corners about martians, er, statians.๐คฃ๐

See @Troy's post about the migration. I believe two days worth of posts were not included on the file they moved over to the new server. Might take extra work getting those posts off the old server. We should be good now though.๐

Immigration laws of the future
Same here. I'm not patriotic in the sense of wearing flags &/or putting them on my property.๐ However, in the same way that I didn't get to choose my parents, I didn't have a choice of where I was born. The USA with all of its warts is my birthplace. It is my *home* country. I do not believe there is another country on this planet that is as diverse & with more opportunities than the USA. For that reason, I feel that gives me even more *right* to call out racism white supremacy & every other form of BS from the USA & its citizens. Reaching that stage in life of being able to call balls & strikes without giving a d8mn is a perk too.๐๐

Right now, the USA is being led by a clown & millions of people are speeding up their own lives wishing for the day he leaves the job.๐คฃ No doubt. Lazy people are already using Roombas to vacuum. Dishwashers have been around forever. Socially awkward & lonely people have been collecting toys & blow-up dolls for several decades too. Just like in the movie Demolition Man, I can see the same type of people migrating to Virtual Reality (VR) & other forms of electronic/AI-assisted stimulation.๐

Congress Vacations While No Pay for TSA Agents
Despite a partial government shutdown where TSA agents aren't getting paid, that didn't stop Congress from going on Easter vacation. Congress is responsible for passing the bills that would reopen the closed parts of government. The people responsible for their safely at the airport would get paid. The most arrogant & tone deaf aspect of this whole situation is Congress-folks who take advantage of being escorted through airports to avoid long lines caused by their own inaction. People have been encouraged to take pictures of these elected clowns who refuse to carry out their responsibilities. Congress still gets paid during a government shutdown. Most of them are already rich too. Like everything else, there's no public uproar as these elected officials go on vacation while leaving harder working people stranded.๐

On cue, the media is on Tiger's latest situation as if it's going to be the next trial of the century. Good thing Tiger doesn't see himself as a Black man. He's sure getting the treatment that comes with being one especially rich & famous.๐

Some celebrities will do &/or say the most ridiculous to include revealing their ignorance in order to maintain relevance. As the late Honorable Malcolm X said back in the 1960s, if entertainers are leaders, we have a bigger problem. Congrats to your alma mater in making it to the Final Four.๐๐ฟ The bots are convenient when calling up a few friends isn't in the cards. The invention of computer games allowing humans to play with themselves was the precursor to social isolation. As humans become more silo'd, AI will become the perfect companion to some. AI won't do dishes or give out hugs & kisses but it won't require anything of humans either. Zero sum fun.๐๐

In addition to drinking, smoking, dancing & cussing, one of the things I miss about my elders is listening to them tear up words.๐คฃ Religion is definitely a tool of manipulation in one way or several.๐

Sure. But, it was you who pivoted from people wanting to die in wars based on their religious beliefs to making this case about survival instinct.๐๐

Netflix: The New Segregation In Entertainment?
I didn't type that Final Call wasn't being distributed at all. It may be one of those publications that requires deliberate actions: 1) drive to the spot where Final Call is being sold 2) may have to find a parking space & walk over to the brotha selling the Final Call 3) have exact payment amount or let brotha keep the change Unfortunately, the Final Call is not for sale in the local convenience store.๐คฃ It is not uncommon for some publications to be monthly.๐ Between the media & internet, news is available 34/7/365. It doesn't turn off at 11:45 p.m. anymore.๐คฃ Most Black people have a smartphone or some electronic device. They can access anything of interest to them; anywhere, anytime. H8ll, inmates know more about what's going on in the world than people who are not subjected to greater confinement.๐๐

Right. Being scatter-brained is ineffective. However, I don't believe our people are totally clueless. There's no real Black leadership or agenda or consistent message. Understood. I just don't see why that sh8t doesn't work in their homeland. Black men throughout the diaspora are joining that alphabet soup community. I know many African women who do have deep voices & they are in need of a serious manicure/pedicure services. Hard to argue when millions of people were moved through the transatlantic slave trade. The short answer is....A LOT. They do not have that type of power. The folks you mentioned above had to put in work in order to assume those positions. That is not a feat of laziness. Black leadership put in a lot of work to get the Civil Rights Act passed. That level of leadership has been non-existent for a half-century & counting. As a result of their efforts to get Civil Rights legislation passed, it provided the opportunities for n8gglets to get positions of power. They enjoy having a good paying job. Black folks stopped marching & stomping shortly after Civil Rights legislation were passed. From the 1970s through present, Black folks have enjoyed the crumbs falling from the white man's table i.e. good paying jobs. With better job opportunities, parents softened up in their discipline & expectations of their offspring. As a result, each generation of Black folks has no reason to fight for anything & has gotten softer. Many Black folks have reached middle-class status; buying nice homes & riding around in expensive cars & drinking Starbucks designer coffee.๐ Walk around any HBCU or other college campus in the US. In educational environments, you will see many Black folks who are the polar opposite of your lazy, shiftless, funky weed smoking n8gglets. Younger Black folks by way of their parents have been insulated & far removed from the struggles of the past. They don't have a care in the world & no reason to fight for anything.๐

Pope Leo XIV Speaks Out Against War in Visit to Monaco
https://www.ncregister.com/cna/pope-leo-xiv-at-monaco-stadium-mass-wars-are-the-result-of-the-idolatry-of-power-and-money Some folks would like to believe religion justifies & condones war. Leaders in the US especially POTUS OJ & his Defense Secretary often say "pray for the safety of our troops". Then, the military is sent in to kill a bunch of folks. Pope Leo XIV mentioned in his Palm Sunday address that "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war but rejects them". Even as an agnostic, it is It is always interesting to see & hear how people use their religion so differently.๐

I heard it. To date, military strength numbers do not support NF Jrs. assertion. The current administration is trying to remove women from any type of combat. The US military is replacing women & out of shape folks with white dudes who look like central casting from a Delta Force movie.๐ Check out any US military recruitment video to get an idea of the prototype.๐

Religion indoctrinates people into their beliefs. Repetition is a very powerful opiate. Still, I don't believe children & young folks expect to go to a better place if they are killed by other humans.๐
