Gotcha. Bloomberg opened the door for de Blasio. Understood. Mamdani's candidacy definitely makes the mayoral race interesting. I'd imagine Mamdani can remain in the NY State Assembly if he loses his mayoral bid.😎

I remember hearing these are "the last and evil days" too.🤣 Technology has advanced to the point of putting humans out of work. Many processes are already automated and require fewer people than 30-40 years ago. AI and robots will make it different. Self-driving cars to handle Uber duties and drones delivering packages. That's just two areas of infiltration. 😎

I haven't seen immigrants or foreigners show up and take over a Black event around these parts.😎

There is certain types of work white folks are not willing to do regardless of the pay. That's why slavery and other forms of indentured servitude existed. Illegal immigrants and migrant workers do labor intensive work regardless of the working conditions. AI and robots will be the final nail in the coffin of American employment. A whole lot of folks will be out of jobs within the next 10 years or so.😎

Anything is possible but considering how Diddy has lived 3.5 decades of his life and his wealth, I doubt that he'll have a religious conversion.😁😎

Maybe Mamdani believes he can tap into whatever got former NYC mayor Bill de Blasio elected.😎

The *victims* were adults supposedly. They knew what they were doing and/or getting into especially having spent years with him. Doubt it. Diddy will no longer have major influence in the entertainment industry. Maybe he will be more selective in his s8x life and with whom and how he chooses to party.😎

Americans won't have any fruit to eat or wine to drink if there are no illegal immigrants to do that *hard* work.😁😎

POTUS OJ signed what they are calling the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) into law today. It was signed in front of a crowd of people gathered for the White House 4th of July picnic. As virtue signaling goes, POTUS OJ was surrounded only by white folks consisting of members of congress and his cabinet as he signed the BBB. Among a list of things, the BBB 1) leaves 11 million people uninsured in 2034 amd 2) adds $3 trillion dollars to the debt over the next 10 years. Americans will find out soon enough how helpful or harmful the BBB will be to their lives.😎

I believe the judge is flexing. Diddy is not a flight risk. A Mann Act conviction doesn't usually carry a heavy penalty. The Mann Act was most famously used for the late former heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson who received a 1 year, 1 month sentence. Diddy has already been locked up for 10 months. There is a hearing next week to possibly move up sentencing from October. Word on the curb is they might try to give him 4-5 years for each count. Not sure if it will run concurrent or consecutive. If Diddy gets 1 year for each charge to run concurrent, he could be released for time served and/or probation. Regardless of what the judge decides to throw at him, I believe Diddy has a Trump card.😉😎

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2025/07/02/lia-thomas-trump-deal-trans-swimmer-upenn/84443136007/ University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) stood to lose $175 million dollars in federal funding for allowing transgender athletes to participate in women's sports. Going a step further, UPenn is stripping the transgender athlete of titles won a few years ago. They are also apologizing to the women who were defeated. The only reason this is being done now is pressure from the current administration to restore the US to a two (2) gender order...male and female. This administration is busy on multiple fronts....immigration, tariffs, wars, shutting down gov't agencies, big beautiful bill, Alligator Alcatraz, etc. Money always talks. Nobody wants to lose that green currency including institutions, organizations, companies, businesses and people, etc. It's amusing to see and hear how folks are willing to sellout if/when the price is right.😎

Well, I stand corrected...Diddy was only found guilty of 2 counts (Mann Act). Not guilty on the most serious charges of sex trafficking and RICO. Diddy could be a free man in time for the 4th of July weekend. I doubt that he will have any parties.😁 Later breaking news... Judge denied Diddy's $1 million dollar bail request. His defense attorneys are trying to expedite sentencing. 😎

I believe the criminal justice system attacking him with investigations charges, lawsuits and conviction has made POTUS OJ empathic to certain victims of the system. Diddy might have enough money and celebrity to get a pass, er, pardon from POTUS OJ .😎

They might find him guilty on 1 count of sex trafficking and 2 counts of Mann Act. You're right...there's nothing in it for him. POTUS OJ would pardon Diddy out of empathy.😎

The NYC mayoral election will definitely be a race. The outcome will be interesting regardless of who wins.😎

Jury in Diddy trial have reached a verdict on 4 of 5 charges. Still don't know what has been decided yet. Right now, the jury is hung on the most serious charge of racketeering. The judge has instructed them to continue deliberations. *If* Diddy is convicted and stretched out, I'm wondering how long POTUS will let him sit in prison before granting him a pardon.😎

https://apnews.com/article/florida-alligator-alcatraz-immigration-detention-trump-desantis-cc060aa6528acbd91a87ec1922578146 Florida officials offered up a tract of land in the Everglades surrounded by alligators, snakes and other critters for use as a detention center to house rounded up and detained illegal immigrants. There's only one way in and out of this detention center they are calling Alligator Alcatraz. My question is does an escapee who survives getting through the swamp and back to mainland get to stay in the US as a citizen.😁 ICE has a mandate to detain 3k people per day. That would be almost 1.1 million per year. Over the next 3.5 years, they could deport up to 3.8 million people. This administration has taken putting a stop to illegal immigration to another level. They are running around like it is a TV show or an action movie.😎

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/29/mamdani-trump-latest-jab-00432137 NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has already landed in the crosshairs of POTUS OJ. The clown-in-chief doesn't seem to be miss in a beat in staying busy hurling insults and threats. POTUS OJ is threatening to withhold federal funds from NYC if elected mayor, Mamdani doesn't *do the right thing*. 😎

Exactly. Because I know you're aware of NF Jr.'s teachings, I figured you just like to back and forth. ..argument.😁 Social constructs exist for the same reason. As brotha @frankster mentioned, it creates societal order. People have come up with and/or adopted all types of sh8t (beliefs, habits, practices, etc.) to cope with their existence.😎

Yep. I'm calling either mistrial or hung jury or not guilty. Same here. Got a chuckle out the defense attorney's categorization of Diddy's relationships. Exactly. There is no such thing as a one man criminal enterprise. The whole case is a money grab. A whole lot of mouths got fed over 7 weeks. Not to mention the *work* that went into building the case. Bingo. I believe the bad taste Jack Johnson left in white folk's psyche has been passed down for generations.🤣 In the boxing ring, Jack Johnson beat the great white hopes so convincingly that one of his victories resulted in a race riot. Doubling down on his work in the ring, Jack Johnson flaunted his success in the faces with a gold-toothed smile to match.🤣 The Jack Johnson Effect is the flak Black celebrities, entertainers and athletes have been up against for decades But, it goes back further. White folks have always been intimidated by big Black men. Add anything else to the mix i.e. money fame, talent, looks, personality, charm, charisma, etc., and that is a white man's burden. Diddy is the personification of a white man's fears. A rich Black man running around having wild s8x with everybody. Dangerous.😎

The real question is how much more time are you all going to spend trying to get him to see the subject differently. 😁 There's a reason for using a clock during a debate. 🤣😎

You're not missing out on anything in this case. The outcome won't make any differences either. Of course, the media is having a field day with the Diddy trial up until the verdict comes down and probably analysis beyond it. The entertainment industry might monetize Diddy's debauchery with documentaries and movies based on it. POTUS OJ's trials kept him in media while he was out of office. The convictions and judgments are after-thoughts as the man is now running the country. Sensationalism sells. Most people have short attention spans. They will move on to the next thing or shiny object before the dust settles.😎

Racial classifications by skin color were codified back in the 1600s. Religion is a belief system. Marriage is literally a contract between two parties. The reality and/or validity of every man-made social construct has always been debated. A wonderful part of our existence as human beings is that individually we have free will to accept or reject social constructs.😎

True. A highly intelligent person like Dr. Carson could thrive in other areas. I just thought HUD was an odd choice for a cabinet-level position considering his expertise. Then again, that's the point. I don't believe he is on the spectrum but listening to Dr. Carson talk, sometimes it sounds like he could be out there. Maybe he's just soft-spoken. 😁😎

https://www.npr.org/2025/06/27/nx-s1-5448863/birthright-citizenship-supreme-court-ruling POTUS OJ won a small victory win SCOTUS ruled federal judges cannot issue injunctions beyond their jurisdiction. Class action lawsuits may have to be filed to protect birthright citizenship against POTUS OJ's executive orders. The whole thing is crazy because the Constitution clearly states that people born on American soil are citizens of that state. We'll see how that pans out over the next 3.5 years too.😎
