  1. I think POTUS OJ's reign will end after the 2028 election or if he dies whichever comes 1st. Thankfully, it will take a very long time before either the GOP or Democrats find another such character to lead the country. POTUS Obama was the experiment in having a Black man in the White House. POTUS OJ was the experiment with having a clown in the Oval Office. The next POTUS will be younger & moderate & relatively boring in comparison to the current one.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Creative use of AI technology that won't put anyone out of a job.๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Interesting how *polite* the aggressors (USA & Israel) are trying to be in targets they choose especially when it comes to money-makers...Iranian oil & gas sites. OTOH, the aggressors blowing up a school full of women & children is just collateral damage. The US & Israel blame the Iranians for using *soft* targets as a shield from which to launch attacks. Either way, there is more concern about the Strait of Hormuz & oil tankers getting through. Watch their hands. Follow the money.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Correct. They're only going put one of their own in in charge of certain agencies. An agency or organization dedicated to UFO/UAP is definitely top of the list.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. *War* is the easiest way to *print more money*. The Department of Defense (Pentagon) gets the lion's share of the government budget. They are claiming this conflict cost billions of dollars & the war chest needs to be replenished. The plutocrats believe MAGA folks are not the brightest people in the USA & rich people *use* them as cannon fodder for votes. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. That's a variation of one my favorites..."if was 5th we'd all be drunk".๐Ÿคฃ No doubt. It takes the *right* man & a lot of patience. That's one *excuse*. Most often, dark brothas want the lightest woman they can get. It doesn't get any lighter than white. Then, those brothas feel 1) validated from any childhood trauma as a result of being dark & 2) *won* in the system of racism white supremacy if the white woman looks good. Straight from the proverbial Willie Lynch letter, colorism has done a bang up job on many Black folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Nat King Cole was gifted & talented which brings a certain level of respect & admiration even among enemies. I believe Nat King Cole used his gift to the make the best of his time on the planet as a Black man.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Clinics hand out free contraceptives. I do not recall where I typed that people should kill themselves and/or have abortions. Humans have found ways to avoid procreation for a very long time. Humans have been given the ability to think & rationalize. Maturity is understanding the responsibility that comes with it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Sure. Entrenched blue states do not make as much of a difference in the POTUS election. Same goes for red states. Swing states flip-flopping play a huge role in determining POTUS election outcome. Those are the states that Democrats need to pour the most time & energy convincing folks to "vote blue no matter who".๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Contraception is free especially in places where poor people live. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. A retired, Airforce Major General disappeared from his home a week or so ago. The retired, Maj-Gen left his electronic devices at the crib. However, he did take his gun. The retired guy onced headed up an agency that oversaw UFOs/UAPs. Of course, all types of speculation around his disappearance from abduction to deep state assassination. He'll turn up one way or another. Maybe...๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. The USA dust-up with Iran has already cost billions of dollars. Recently, the Pentagon says they need an additional 200 billion bucks to keep up the fight. Before anyone gets dew-y eyed & surrenders their piggy-bank or cashes stocks & bonds or sell fish dinners, the Pentagon isn't strapped for cash. Considering all that wrong with the economy & folks being poor, hungry & homeless, I'm sure Americans could find something else to do with that $200 billion dollars.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Probably trying to distract white folks from the Epstein files & dust-up with Iran & soaring price of gas.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. If a Black man steps up & loves that woman...problem solved. Entertainment & religion both try to get people to see themselves & each other in a better light. Black folks definitely have the resources to make it happen. Dark-skinned should be leading the charge in keeping themselves pumped. Black folks definitely should not put up with shade from anyone especially immigrants.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Of course he didn't answer the question. Defection & deflection. The guy left a whole country of his own. Took up residence under the colonizer. No weight whatsoever.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Black folk don't really have to trust &/or deal with Iranians or Arabs either. Right. Let those folks do whatever they've been doing for thousands of years. It is nobody else's bizness how a sovereign nation chooses to run its program. The only reason the USA gives a d8mn about Iran is black gold (oil) & protecting Israel. This has been ongoing since 1953 when the USA installed the shah of Iran. He was overthrown in 1979. The rest is history. A conflict that's 3/4s of a century old.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. I believe a bronze statue of POTUS Barack Obama will be fine & free of human sabotage in Chicago. The birds might take shots at it.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. Obviously. Nowhere did I type anyone wss mal-intentioned in having children. Irresponsible is the more appropriate word for people bringing children into the world & unable to provide for & protect them. There is no "don't warrant having children" philosophy or movement. No Black leaders have championdd such a thing as far I know. Many people in one way or another & for similar reasons through their actions have purposefully avoided bringing children into this world. From one generation to the next, regardless of conditions /or circumstances, people continue procreating. Such is life.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. The Iranian Muslims have always recognized their real *enemy*. It is not Black folks. That doesn't mean there is a strategic alliance. Iranian Muslims know Black folks have been oppressed by the same enemy. Their objective is to avoid being imperialized. Of course, when the bullets & missiles start flying, nothing prevents non-enemies from being caught in the cross-fire.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. The late, great Nat King Cole was a real troubadour & excellent musician. Colorism goes way back. They did this to Nat King Cole for a TV appearance: Nat King Cole was dark complexioned: Nonetheless, Nat King Cole was definitely one our musical icons.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. I would hope that all parents feel similarly & they would do whatever it took to keep their offspring from being hungry &/or homeless.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Correct. Like was a typo. Correct If f you're going with a literal interpretation.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Understood. At some point in your lifetime, I hope that you are able to relocate to Haiti or some other country that is less dysfunctional than the USA. No need to quote yourself. I understand the context. Hoping that my family members have the misfortune of medical malpractice or bad law enforcement or cheaters is not going to change me and/or cause any type of pain or suffering on my behalf. Again, such is life. I always have and will roll with the punches.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Would life be any worse if they chose not to procreate? Fiscal poverty has always existed. Many people have found a way out of it too. If my forebearers had chosen not to procreate that would have been perfectly fine with me. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Herein lies your issue. It is with the system of racism white supremacy. Please share your idea(s) of how to dismantle it. Not sure of why you would hope that everyone in my family suffers misfortune. However, I can assure you that being keenly aware of the ups & downs of life & ultimately human mortality, I've never been adversely affected emotionally by it including my own family members, friends & associates. Such is a part of life. I'm not surprised. it comes through in your posts.๐Ÿ˜Ž
