@franksterThank you! I just wish the world was a better place! If you aren't on the same wave length as Trump, things can get very disgusting! @TroyMaybe I will check out story corp! @pioneer. Posts containing lies and pictures proving that you are a blatant ageist appear all over this forum for anybody interested in tracking them down. Apparenty,this is a subject that nobody but you cares about so why keep denying that you are an ageist? Being one is your prerogative.

@Chevdovethe Orionid meteor shower is currently visible in the sky according to astronomers. Best viewing time to watch is between midnight and dawn. I may venture out one night to watch. It supposedly takes 15 minutes of staring before your eyes focus. The moon is new so the sky is dark, making for better visibility.

@umbrarchistIn the context of what I'm claiming, "getting ahead" is about coming from behind your loser life. It's not about completing with others; it's about competing with poverty.

@ProfDMan, that sounds sinister! You really are a vigilante at heart. LOL

It's not like all white people have their thing together. It's no secret that millions of them are in the same category as black folk, struggling to get ahead. And a whole lot of them are worse off that Blacks who have reached some degree of success. It's really about elitism and oligarphy. About wealth being concentrated in the hands of a few who exploit the masses. Yes, white skin is a pass port to opportunity, but it can only take you so far. In reality, true equality has never existed in the world, and traits like honesty and integrity don't necessarily reward you with success. The law of the jungle still pervades human civilization. And rugged individualism has to be fortified with ruthlessness and driven by greed. Luck also plays a role. Life is a bitch. Black folks lost Africa to foreign invaders and they've been struggling ever since. Unity is a pipe dream when skin color is too often the only thing groups have in common. It's a cruel world

Observing, as the grandstanding pioneer tries to make an impression on the peanut gallery who knows damn well that my age is his favorite target. He still can't accept that people see through his phoniness as he continues to prove that he is, indeed, a psychopathic, narcissistic, pathological lying, AGEIST doing his strawman routine. Hummmm. Interesting. Pathetic, but interesting. Predictably, he will continue to try and invoke the ,"power of suggestion" by claiming I haven't proved his glaring guilt. I'll just humor him since it's so important to him to be thought of as a nice guy instead of the shallow AGEIST that he is.

@ProfDUnfortunately, you are right. My world, like me, is becoming a thing of the past. I still think it's cool to be able to write in cursive. It's like being bi-lingual!

@Pioneer1Oh stfu. You're such a fraud! And you can't prove that you aren't an ageist. We certainly can't take your word for it because, like you, your word aint worth a damn.

@umbrarchistI think there now are a lot of people lobbying for schools to add practical courses to their curricula, urging that auto shop and home economics classes be restored. They don't call for accounting per se, but they do recommrnd that students learn how to budget their money and manage their bank accounts. There is also a push to return to teaching penmanship. Kids nowadays can't even write in cursive, or tell time on a clock with a face, or dial a rotary phone or even tie their shoes!

Presumably, someone proficient in accounting wouldn't depend on snap benefits.

Stephen Smith is a typical "jive assed nigga talkin smack"! He doesnt stand a chance in hell of becoming POTUS. Just another wanna be, full of self importance. He's so ego centric and full of BS, however, he might make it as a politician conning his constituency.

@Pioneer1Let's just say this: the whole gist of your unflattering posts about me with pictures and made-up stories is predicated on my being an old lady. If I were young, you would lose your foil. All anybody has to do is to check out the layouts you spam on threads. And, why don't you produce some evidence that I'm wrong? You are so transparent in your desperate attempts to control the narrative. Oh, - and did I mention that YOU. ARE.AN.AGEIST! ...and btw, I don't care that you are an ageist. It's an observation, not a complaint. It really makes me no difference.

@Pioneer1Ooooh, give it a rest. You and your silly mind games. YOU ARE AN AGEIST; truer words were never spoken. You prove this yourself on a regular basis. You can't accept this because you are in denial. The reaction of a typical narcisstic psychopath who is also showing signs of suffering from arrested development.

Little by little all the judges are caving in and, not surprising, the corrupt Supreme Court is accommodating Trump's running rough shod over the Constitution. The Project 2025 agenda is right on schedule, with the element of public apathy as its enabler. Maybe this is the way it's supposed to be. Or perhaps the American Empire, like others before it, will inevitably collapse and its population will go their separate ways. I never took the Black Muslims very seriously but Retrumpicans are blue eyed devils. I think they are descended from Neanderthals which had a different root from Homo Sapiens. Oh, well.

@Pioneer1I don't take orders from you. I give others credit for observing and reaching obvious conclusions. I said what I said. You are what you are.
