High Intellect Forum?
@Pioneer1, IMO, the participation on this discussion forum is already low. A sub-forum will be even more lean and it will be the equivalent of one hand clapping. I'm enjoying the comfy chair here. Besides, I probably wouldn't qualify for a high intellect forum with my sense of humor. ๐

Weight Loss, Nutrition and Finance
Vitamins and supplements are fine for but eating nutrient rich foods is better for the human body. Proper diet and exercise are the real keys to weight loss and good health. Consider all of the places on the planet with the most physically fit people. They're not popping pills or pressing patches on themselves. Physically fit people live a healthy lifestyle from what they eat to how they work and play. ๐

Florida teacher resigns after pictures of Dr. King and Harriet Tubman are removed
Maybe I should be more specific because not all Black folks care about the struggle of AfroAmericans... Everything AfroAmerican leadership fought and died for back in the 1960s is being rolled back. Yeah, I definitely think current AfroAmerican leadership absolutely should be fighting to preserve our history and rights. After all, that's how they made it to their current positions. But, AfroAmerican leadership should not be alone in the fight. ALL AfroAmericans should be using their voices and platforms to speak up and out against the whitewashing of our history. It would be great if other Black folks join us in the fight to preserve our history too.๐

Florida teacher resigns after pictures of Dr. King and Harriet Tubman are removed
The real question is why are Black folks allowing our history to be whitewashed. The people should be using their platforms to draw attention to it. Elected Black leaders should be fighting on our behalf to maintain our history too. Instead, they're busily chasing abortion rights, gun control and other initiatives that are important to white supremacists.๐

Please help an artist and her husband
I'm jealous. There was no gofundme campaign when I bought my 1st property a few decades ago. Several properties later, I never received any help. ๐ They'd better figure that sh8t out without their hands out.๐คฃ๐

Go Hershel Go
I Just recently heard that 24 years ago, Mumble mouth Herschel put a gun to his ex-wife's head and threatened to blow her brains out. This clown claims he doesn't remember it. But, she does and told him to pull the trigger and said, "I know where I'm going...do you". Obviously, Mumble mouth didn't go through with it. But, upon hearing about that ordeal...some dude in Georgia said he would still vote for him because he's a Republican. Unbelievable. Then again, maybe not because the former POTUS once said that he could walk down Madison Avenue and shoot somebody and get away with it. I guess that's just how their party rolls.๐

FBI Continues Itโs Corrupt Practices
The funniest part of this is the former POTUS was notoriously a non-reader. He didn't care to read the POTUS briefs or too much of anything else for that matter.๐ So, the question becomes why the former POTUS took 15 boxes of documents to his Florida home/resort. It's not like he's going to read the documents for old times sake. But, maybe there was just enough information in those boxes for the former POTUS to sell to to the highest bidder and/or anyone who had dirt on him. ๐

FBI Continues Itโs Corrupt Practices
I've been hearing and reading that talking point from the Right. They are the same people who wanted Hilary Clinton locked up over some emails. The former POTUS took 15 boxes of documents from the White House back to Florida. That's against the law. Nevermind that he sent the boxes back to DC when he got good and gotd8mn ready. No telling what was removed from those boxes. Oh no...wait a minute. The Feds sent a subpoena asking for the documents to be returned. Then, they interviewed his lawyers at the house and saw the documents. They asked him to better secure them. This dude put the documents in his safe. Not smart. There's a reason former POTUS took the 5th amendment a bunch of times yesterday. He did the same thing he said only guilty people do. ๐

PEE AIR
Yep. I noticed the new old arrival. ๐ Didn't even bother to change the script. Went straight for the low hanging fruit, er, troll threads in agreement. @Troy. I'm not even going to shoot at those clay targets. I look forward to you removing them from the range.๐๐

Why Insult the GWOAT!?
Once upon the time, the elders within the Black community would have pulled her to the side and had a talk with Sha'Carri. Those days are long gone. Black matriarchs and patriarchs have gone silent as they are afraid of these weed smoking n8gglets and then there's the drug dealers and killers. It's hard to talk to these n8gglets when they're higher than giraffe snatch and hair, eyelashes and nails are too long and pants are hanging off their azz. This child can run faster than the old man in the movie Get Out. Yeah...no. Ain't nobody gonna tell Sha'Carri to go sat down somewhere. ๐คฃ๐

Black Unity Is The Key
Gang, while @Stefan seems to be indefatigable in defending his positions and wants us to say *uncle* and become accountable writers and join the Democrats, I think he means well otherwise.๐คฃ๐

The Race for Africa
It seems like 92% of everything in the USA is made in China or another part of Asia. Yeah, the Dollar Store ain't the dollar store no more. ๐คฃ In fact, Wal-Mart is cheaper than the dollar store nowadays. ๐๐

Looks like all things Crypto are taking a beating
Glad to be at a point in life where I don't need riskier investments or the metaverse. I'll leave that to the younger folks.๐๐

It might not be done yet. I'm guessing the crypto network has to rebooted like a cable box.๐๐

The Race for Africa
Yep. She's definitely providing great information. Still relevant even it's old news now. Again, I'm disappointed that despite Africa having over 1 billion people, it cannot keep itself from allowing foreigners to cut it up like a Thanksgiving turkey. @Pioneer1, it's not a lack of intelligence among black people. They are losing to greed and power. ๐

Why Insult the GWOAT!?
Unfortunately, whether it's her age or immaturity or both, Shaโcarri Richardson has over-estimated her greatness and/or importance to the sport of Track & Field. Sha'carri reminds me of young athletes in other sports who have shown some promise but allowed the hype to derail their careers. Richardson won't be the last rising star to fall back to Earth. There is still a window of opportunity to get her mind *right* and back into the game. ๐

NY State cannibis
The feds aren't going to run around chasing and prosecuting folks for smoking weed. If such was the case, every April 20th they could round up a whole lot of folks. ๐๐

Oh...So THIS Is Why The Brother Was Killed!
Absolutely. Divide and conquer and spreading imperialism has been working for hundreds of years. I'm still amazed by how France pulled that sh8t off leaving Haiti indebted to them for over 200 years and counting. The US allows a few Haitians to come here but otherwise...benign neglect. The way border patrol on horseback turned the Haitian refugees away several months ago showed us everything we need to know about what they think of black folks. Meanwhile, 100k Ukrainian refugees show up to open arms; hot cocoa, food, blankets, clothes, housing and a monthly stipend to make ends meet.๐

FBI Raids former POTUS Mar-A-Lago Home
The former POTUS took a few boxes of government documents to Florida when he left the White House. That's against the law: https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-government-and-politics-9e8d683afe87389407950af7ccfdbdd6 It took a while for the government to retrieve the boxes. No telling what documents were pulled from the boxes before turning them back over to the feds. I would be surprised if the FBI find any documents in that house. If they do find anything, someone was very stupid, cocky or sloppy. For many years, they haven't been able to make anything stick to Teflon Don. Let's see if the FBI comes up with the smoking gun to keep him from running for office again. ๐

Father, son killers of Ahmaud Arbery get second life sentences
These murderers pleaded to serve their sentence in federal prison for safety fearing they will be killed in state prison (back door death penalty). I'm glad the judge rejected that foolishness. They were bold enough to do the crime. Now they have to man up and do that time in the lion\'s den. In reality, once they check in with the Aryan Brotherhood, they will be fine and survive in prison. ๐

Republicans block price cap on insulin
Rhetorically, I'm still wondering what makes folks support and vote for a cruel and heartless group of people..๐
-
Republicans block price cap on insulin
The vote was 57-43 which included 7 GOPers. They were 3 votes short of the measure passing. 43 GOP senators voted against reducing the cost of insulin. Surely, some of their constituents could use the cost reduction. Only GOP voters affected by diabetes in one form or another can answer the question of why they vote for people uninterested in lowering their prescription costs.๐

What Keeps Us from Moving Forward
Redistribution of wealth and power is the only way for us to move forward. Reparations to ADOS would provide AfroAmericans with the resources to build better communities with everything to include housing, schools, medical facilities, banks, grocery stores and other businesses. Politicians on both sides of the aisle want no parts of such a discussion or plan of action. It's a non-starter. Instead of dealing with the byproduct of America's origin sin, white folks would much rather obfuscate the real issues and jump down rabbit holes that don't have anything to do with the elephant in the room. The whole alphabet movement (LGBTQIA+) has been another great distraction. Back in the 1960s it was white women's rights. Anything to avoid dealing with AfroAmericans has been the modus operandi of white supremacists for many decades and counting. ๐
