  1. Neely Fuller Jr. is one among several people who flew below radar and therefore Black folks have never recognized them. Black leaders, academia and media never fully embraced the Black intellectuals. Most people get caught up in intellectual junk food, entertainers and athletes. Right. Colorism has been a tool of self-hate and divisiveness for a couple centuries now. Many Black folks try to whiten themselves through cosmetics and hair products. There was a brief moment in time back in the 1970s when Black folks embraced and were proud to be Black. It definitely ebbs and flows.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Absolutely. Live life to the fullest. Ride it out until the wheels fall off.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. America has chosen as leader of the free world, an orange, over-sized toddler whose diet consists of McDonald's. That explains his lack of continence. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. As of today, $150 thousand dollars has been fundraised. There's also merchandise being sold too. This guy will never have to worry about money or protection while doing his time.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Surely. One has to do whatever best works for their personal health and well-being.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Hindsight is always 20/20 or better when looking at the past. Of course, in the present, it's all about enjoying life to the fullest extent whatever that entails. The reality is that each and every last one of us is going to eventually die. Enjoy the ride for as long as possible. Beyond raising children, we should not pass judgment or tell grown azz people what is *good* or *bad* for them. Nobody should be robbed of their lived and shared experiences. That's our journey. Life is short in the grand scheme of things. To that end...eat, drink and be happy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. On the other hand...๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Look no further than the Constitution. The dominant society is in charge since it makes the rules. *Good* accepts the status quo because it's isn't too *bad". Prisons are filled with supposedly *bad* people. Prisoners out-number the prison staff. Other than a riot every now and then, the place doesn't fall apart.๐Ÿ˜ Seems to only take a minority to control the majority. It all comes down to *who* has the most power.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Asians constitute 60% of the world population. Of course, anything Asians produce domestically can do very well financially. Pushing it abroad just brings more money. OTOH, the US spends a ton of money marketing films internationally.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. The word plasmoid has been around since the 1950s among astrophysicists. General population really isn't ready to believe that instead of big-head, bug-eyed, gray bodied creatures, a combination of plasma and magnetic fields constitutes an alien lifeform.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Drinking red wine in moderation is supposed to be good. It's a staple in some cultures.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. There is no problem. The military knows exactly what's happening. They are responsible for it. That's also why commercial flights aren't being impacted. Obfuscating the American people is par for the course.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. I believe most people are inherently *good*. There are fewer *bad* people relatively. Maybe *good* people have to strive to *remain* that way especially when they're seeing *bad* people succeed. The *bad* people maintain order by keeping *good* people in check. Religion is an opiate of mind control. Rules and laws are guardrails too. Look at *who* is in charge of shaping those *core values* and enforcing them. Seems like the most powerful group of people on the planet has it on lock.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. During a press conference today, incoming POTUS OJ admitted US government and military knows exactly what's going on with the drones. Congress supposedly asking for answers is total BS. The lack of transparency in telling the American people the truth is a smoke screen to give the media something to talk about as news. There are 729,000 drones registered with the FAA. That's a whole lot of drones. My belief is the US military is testing equipment as usual. They're probably using it to spy on people too.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. https://www.axios.com/2024/12/16/biden-dnc-holiday-reception-harris This past weekend, POTUS PJB (Papa Joe Biden) touted the accomplishments of his administration and encouraged Democrats to keep up the fight to make America better. This is consistent with spam emails and phone calls the Democratic party is still sending out begging for donations. At this point, it's pathetic. 0n his way out of the White House, I guess POTUS PJB patting himself on the back is some form of consolation to getting his party kicked squarely in the azz.๐Ÿคฃ There's nothing Democrats can do in the short term to counter what could be an incoming tsunami with the new administration. The best bet for Democrats is minimizing the GOP mess and using the next few years becoming strong enough and preparing to clean it up. Gym memberships.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Definitely not advocating younger elected officials who are inept or unqualified to get the job done. Ideally, leadership should be people with fresh ideas who are healthy both mentally and physically. As I've mentioned before regarding age limits, it's not about throwing old folks away. Folks over 70-years old who still want to work should be in advisory roles. No heavy lifting required.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Right. No shortage of money-making avenues will be available to him and the others who will be pardoned. The kicker would be if the government gives those individual several hundred thousand dollars for wrongful imprisonment.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. Black folks have been programmed into obeying the rules and laws of the system of racism white supremacy. Parents often tell their children to do as I say and not necessarily as I do. The hypocrisy of telling others to be *good* runs deep in our society. Obedience is a form of control. In the meantime, many leaders and successful people are shady and/or corrupt in one way or another.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. The story is sad and unfortunate on a couple levels. A cautionary tale. Women should never leave their children alone with men they barely know. Excellent news that this child predator is dead. Another pedophile was killed in that prison on the same day. Whoever dispatched of these monsters is a real hero. Justice has been served.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. The 2024 Person of the Year: 1) Impeached twice 2) Incited a riot 3) improperly handled classified documents 4) S8xually assaulted woman 5) Inflated property value 6) convicted of illegal payments For defamation of character, ABC News is going to donate $15 million dollars to POTUS OJ's presidential library. Last month, MSNBC sent Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski to Mar-A-Lago to make amends. Incoming POTUS OJ is talking to world leaders and making appearances as if he's already taken office. The hypocrisy of the media is hilarious. The same folks who demonized him are now scrambling to kiss is azz. It may be harder to convince young folks that they need strong moral values and a solid education in order to be a leader and successful.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. The outlier in this particular situation is that the alleged killer comes from a well to do family. He's Ivy League educated. Part of his family fortune comes from the health care industry. This guy allegedly decided to trade his privilege to fight the system.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. As soon as that guy hits bricks, he will become a multimillionaire if he's not already.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Right. I think we're both making the same point without argument.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2024/12/13/nancy-pelosi-fell-down-stairs-in-luxembourg-will-nee/ 84-year old Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is on a bipartisan Congressional trip to Luxembourg. Apparently, Rep. Pelosi fell and fractured her hip. She was medivac'd to a hospital and is reportedly receiving excellent treatment. However, Rep. Pelosi will not be attending the remaining events on the schedule. Only after being forced to drop out of the race, POTUS PJB is on his way back to Delaware. He can sit in his office there and believe he's still working. Senator Mitch McConnell is still having medical issues but he's stepped down as Senate Majority Leader. Claims he will not seek re-election in 2027. The universe might stamp that decision. America really needs to push for term limits and a mandatory retirement age for politicians. Politicians should not be any different from most citizens who in one way or another are ushered out of the workforce before they reach 70 years old. These politicians aren't working to feed their families. They've already got more money than they'll ever spend in their remaining years. Rep. Nancy Pelosi has a net worth of about $230 millon dollars. She can afford to sat down somewhere...whenever her hip heals.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Recently acquitted NYC subway killer will be one of POTUS OJ'S invited guests at the Army-Navy football game today. Like Zimmerman and Rittenhouse before him, Penny will be paraded as a hero and he will become well off financially for putting in work as a race soldier.๐Ÿ˜Ž
