This situation is an example of how the polarization caused by politics is leading to people being unalived. IMO, there's no reason for ICE to be patrolling cities like bounty hunters. They normally execute enforcement actions quietly. Riding around like storm troopers & throwing tear gas canisters at protesters is not a part of their job description. The DHS hiring a bunch of right-wing nut-jobs is definitely a huge part of the problem. It had been all fun & games until people started being unalived. Especially *innocent* white folks. No stupid prizes will be handed out.😎

https://www.npr.org/2026/01/27/g-s1-107625/ilhan-omar-sprayed-town-hall Some wacko sitting on the front row of a Town Hall in MN jumped up & sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar with an unknown substance. The man was immediately tackled by security but if he had a firearm or some other weapon, the outcome could have been a lot different. The current political climate is highly charged. Politicians & public servants are talking reckless. Citizens are protesting & acting out. This 2-party political system is part of the problem in having people divided & choosing sides. Ridiculous.😎

Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino is being pulled out of MN. Kinda figured Bovino's days were numbered after his wack-job press conference & media appearances regarding the latest shooting in MN. POTUS Oj has dispatched Border Czar Tom Homan to MN. He reports directly to POTUS & not DHS Secretary Noem. Bovino & Noem have not done themselves any justice in flapping their gums in wake of these tragedies. They have stepped in a big pile of it. I believe POTUS OJ will be appointing a new DHS Secretary before Memorial Day.😎

They are either ignorant of history or choosing selective amnesia.😁 Some people seem to think events that occurred before their lifetime didn't happen or aren't relevant & therefore lack precedence.😎

The people that have had NDE (Near Death Experience) always claim it is so peaceful & beautiful they didn't want to come back to this existence. Yet, none of them ever seemed to be in a rush to die.🤣 Many of my loved ones & friends have died. Not nary a one of them has dropped me a hint, note or sign. They must be having a blast wherever they ended up.😁😎

Latest MN shooting victim, 38-year-old Alex Pretti was legally armed when confronted by border patrol agents. Video shows an agent disarmed Mr. Pretti prior to several agents shooting him 7-9 times while he was laying on the ground. Both the DHS Secretary & Border Patrol Director are giving weird accounts of what we can clearly see on video. The 2nd worst part of this situation after unaliving an innocent young man is mischaracterizing him as a domestic terrorist & agitator. The 2nd amendment allowed Mr. Pretti to carry a weapon. Yet, some folks on the Right are claiming he should not been armed & suggest he made the situation worse. 1) It will be interesting to see how 2nd amendment supporters reconcile the events that transpired in MN. 2) In both cases, unaliving Good & Pretti, we'll see how justice works in the government versus white folks. Again, I believe the government will settle with families of the victims & move on as if nothing left to see here.😎

Brotha @Delano...I see how you're going in 2026.🤣 You're right....we have to use our bandwidth judiciously. Our time is finite & only getting shorter.😎

Still free...for good.🤣 That's your VGQ. If happiness & comfort is dependent on others, I can see how it would be prioritized over freedom. For example, men & women will languish in bad relationships that are prison-like because they are comfortable & too lazy to get out of it.😎

As I mentioned in the other thread, among our small number of regular posters, consider it a pat on the back that you weren't challenged.🤣😎

Among our small number of regular posters, consider it a pat on the back that you weren't challenged.🤣 It's all good. Don't know where these dudes get info. Kinda surprised Willie D didn't challenge him.😎

They're still free. Would you choose to be a slave to another man?😎

Again, I don't see where your point of view was disputed. The situation is fluid. Still got 2.8 years to go.😁😎

What exactly are you seeking credit? This whole thing is still playing out in real-time.😁😎

No exaggeration. Similar to when folks go under anesthesia for surgery. Don't feel a thing.😁 Forced labor could still be most profitable. Drugs is high on the list. It's definitely not the Martians. 🤣 Absolutely. Let's not leave out their willingness to be violent & kill as they deem necessary.😎

I guess you skipped over where I typed certain situations. I do not have anything against the Chinese. I was pointing out that China isn't the threat white folks would have others to believe. Semantics. Geopolitics is a Chess game.😎

It is a given that hard work is only one aspect of becoming successful. There are no lies when one lives the reality. I'm Black to the core & very proud of it. Encouraging Black people to do better does not diminish or insult our history. As I've mentioned before, billions of dollars pass through Black churches every year. It isn't the Black 1% pouring billions into churches & gross consumerism. White folks don't stop Black folks from giving their tithes & offerings. I'm not suggesting it has gotten easier. My point is that it's not impossible. Black people don't have to start tons of businesses. But, when AI puts a whole bunch of Black folks outta work, we'll have no choice. The Black 1% definitely is not exempt from investing in the community. It is a fact that Black people can make a lot of money. No assumptions. I don't have to convince the Black people where I live that they too can be successful. 😉😎

Newsflash...most businesses fail. It's part of the game. The successful keep getting back up & trying again. Again, you're looking through a very small window. Black folks collectively have enough wealth to invest in businesses including social media platforms. The *problem* is that Black folks do not encourage entrepreneurship & investment. Not in the same way that religion demands tithes & offerings. Do not continue trying to tell me how to communicate. My patience isn't that long before I become the most rude & insulting mf'er you could ever read.😁 No more excuses. Billions of dollars go through Black folks hands every year. The question is what are we doing with the money. How many engineering firms have Black folks started? No reason to wait on NASA or any other white entity to give them a job. The village collectively could invest in its own people. I don't believe you realize outside of New York there are a high number of successful Black people. Successful Black people see things from a different perspective. One of the biggest challenges is getting our people to believe they can do better. Understand that because I'm a successful FBA/AfroAmerican man of average intelligence, I believe other Black folks can do it too. Just a matter of putting in the work.😎

First, I realize you want your threads responded to in a certain way. It's not gonna happen.😁 I could take the brotha @Delano approach & not participate in your threads but that wouldn't be fun.🤣 Nor did I state that Ford needed a bail-out. If you haven't noticed, threads take twists & turns around here. It's not that anyone has a crystal ball. The subject of discussion is mostly hypothetical. Bankruptcy does exist & is allowed to happen in certain situations. My tangential response was related to how bankruptcy isn't allowed in certain situations. In ao many of these threads, we've already covered how & why the USA is the pre-eminent super power. Geopolitics requires good & bad guys, opponents & adversaries; real & make believe. Neither Russia nor China is the threat talking heads would have folks believe. China is the largest US labor force outside the country. They could weaken the US through imported products & more importantly...the number of Chinese people living in the US. Russia has been involved in conflicts over there since Vlady Putin has been running sh8t. The US issues fake warnimgs but they're not going to do anything to him. It's not just because of nuclear weapons. The Chess *game* is more important than anything. These super powers cooperate in how they choose to run the planet.😎

Right. It has been happening for a long time now. Funny part is when people asked for natural remedies for their ailments & conditions they would get side eye from medical professionals. That is until industries started producing *natural* herbs & supplements which can be found on store shelveseverywhere. Follow the money. The economy is fueled by all types of drugs and the conditions, industries & jobs created by demand for it including law enforcement, judicial, hospitals & prisons.😎

How do you really know there's no interest in it? Just like pro sports, let a wealthy white dude announce he's financing a Black Male Pageant & n8gglets will come running to be in it.🤣😎

Right. Everything about this existence stops. No more chains. Many people find enjoyment &/or pleasure in doing absolutely nothing. Death provides it. They don't really want to be free. Like a drug addict, they just want to get high. There's a difference. The temporary enjoyment allowed by the slave master was good enough for him. Again, most people are afraid to die for several reasons. Freedom isn't one of them. Yet, there's no way of proving &/or knowing alternative dimensions or realities exist other than one's own mind. Freedom, enjoyment and pleasure are not synonymous or inextricably linked. For examples, humans find enjoyment & pleasure in s8x but procreating can nullify their freedom. People enjoy getting high until a terrible accident gets them locked up behind bars or worse.🤣😎

The average person doesn't understand the financial windfall wars generate. Those who engage in war fully understand the end goals. German soldiers high as a kite were able to brave the elements & sleep deprivation in order to fight & felt nothing when they were killed. There's no better way to encourage people to kill themselves than drugs. Ovet the past 50+ years, drugs both legal & illegal has been the most profitable war waged against humans.😎

Absolutely. Death is freedom from all forms of pain &/or suffering. Regardless of state of being, that person is no longer restricted or oppressed; in pain &/or suffering. Reads like your idea of freedom comes with some type of enjoyment. The lure of enjoyment which is temporary freedom is exactly how people remain restricted &/or oppressed. That's why most people are afraid to die. To truly be free is unbound by any chains literal or figurative. Death removes them.😎

Just like Miss Black...we can create pageants specifically for Black men. Here again...the problem is waiting around and seeking validation and/or permission from non-Black folks.😎

Enjoy my brotha. Here in the USA over 140 million people are enduring a snow storm.😁😎
