You brought it up as a consequence of the lesbians Obama put on the supreme court. Who are these lesbians anyway that "gave us gay marriage?" I thought the court decisions were based upon a majority...
Why do you continue to ask me who the lesbians are,
when I already answered you.
They are part of the Supreme Court’s Liberal section,
which is why Obama appointed them.
It’s not as if he would have appointed a Conservative.

My life is hardly stressful.
I just like to be prepared.

I don't know where you live @Mzuri, but your statement is hyperbolic. Overall we live in a relatively safe control. Now if you are talking about a place like New York City ghettos 40 years ago, were there were thousands of murders a year and mugging and larceny was objectively out of control I'd say you'd have a point.
Are you actually afraid to go to church or a restaurant with our a gun?
I am on the Texas/Mexico border.
Crime is out of control and many crimes are not
even reported for various reasons.
Whenever I go anywhere, I reconnoiter the exits
so I will know where to go if a situation arises.
This has been a habit of mine since those post
office mass shootings that inspired the phrase
“going postal.”
I actually had a co-worker who threatened to
shoot the place up. This was in a government
facility, but back then we didn’t call the police
about threats since they wouldn’t do anything
about it anyway.
You probably think you live in Mayberry.

Yes. this is what I mean. Obviously I can not influence how you feel, but I can't tell you that your concern of being over powered by a transexual person in the ladies room is unfounded. Have you been reading about a rash of such assaults to warrant such concern?
I am always leery of public restrooms anyway.
Especially if it’s down some long corridor in a
hospital or office building.
Why do you keep on defending the trans thing?
The whole point I was making is that all of this
was brought on by Obama and the lesbos he
put on the SCOTUS.
People with penises need to take their behinds
to the men’s room!

It’s a cry for help. Maybe someone with more resources and expertise can offer assistance. Finding legal help is still challenging. I sell life events legal plans and still find it difficult.
Finding legal help is not challenging. You can find
a lawyer by doing a google search for your area.
Then you contact their office to schedule an initial
consultation and sometimes they will talk to you
over the phone right then.
I know this from personal experience.
I have had the same lawyer since the 80s when
some fool crashed into my car and injured me.
Since then I’ve been involved with four additional
lawsuits including one where I was food poisoned
from eating at a restaurant and getting so sick
that I had to be hospitalized.
I could write a book on personal injuries, winning
lawsuits, and collecting checks from insurance
companies.
If you have a personal injury case, lawyers usually
work on a contingency basis, which means you do
not pay them any fees, they take a percentage of
your settlement at the end.
Therefore, they will not take your case if they don’t
think that you will win, because they would just be
wasting their time.
The problem with this lady is that she does not have
a case for the reasons I already stated.
She might have a malpractice suit if she can prove she
caught that sepsis in the hospital, but her other claims
are frivolous.
She could file a claim about her lost dentures, and she
can probably do that without a lawyer.

Yep. Even in the chocolate city of DC, at the height of the drug epidemic, police would stop and search us for no good reason. I have been there and done that back in the day.
Interesting that mobsters driving fancy cars get a pass to assault and kill in "doing business". Still, their victims were "innocent" people to the extent that they had not be tried and convicted in court by a jury of their peers. Even then, mobsters weren't appointed to be executioners either.
Mobsters...I wonder where aimless n8gglets got the bright the idea to assault and kill and commit crimes.
Do you want a safe environment where you and
your family can walk down the street, sit in the
park, and maybe shoot some hoops?
If the answer is, “Yes” then you do not need to
worry about any mobsters

@Mzuri I'm beginning to see that you have a flare for gross exaggeration. Who are all the lesbians that Obama put on the Supreme Court? Have you ever encountered a "trans thing" in the ladies room. Is this truly a concern of yours
How is it a gross exaggeration?
Obama appointed two women to the SCOTUS and
those are the main ones when it comes to passing
gay and trans rights laws. Kagan and Sotomayor.
I can’t be positive of their orientation since I have
not slept with either of them but Kagan officiates
gay weddings, and the other one seems fruity too.
I have encountered a trans man while entering
into a public restroom in a restaurant and it was
scary.
It isn’t scary to men because you all aren’t vulnerable
to being overpowered by some weirdo, but women are
and most of us do not want men dressed as women in
our restrooms.
There should be a separate restroom just for them.

That stop and frisk policy was disproportionately applied to people of color.
NYC didn't use stop and frisk to shake down mafia associates who are criminals and some of whom are bona-fide killers.
Police didn’t stop and frisk mobsters because those
guys are riding around in their fancy mob cars, not
walking down the street bothering innocent victims.
I could be wrong, but don’t mobsters kill each other
for being snitches, like what is depicted in movies?
When is the last time you heard about a mobster
robbing or assaulting somebody walking down
the street.
If I am the police, I’m going to stop and frisk the
crazy looking negro with his pants hanging down
and his drawers exposed before I worry about
searching a mafioso.
And while I am on this topic, Black people need to
straighten up and stop living a life of crime. Young
men (and women as well) need more guidance and
mentorship so that they can become law-abiding,
contributing members of society.
If they are lacking mentorship, they need to do the
right thing, straighten themselves out, and figure
out another path.
Being gangsters, thugs, and criminals is for the birds.

Mayor-Elect Adams is former police Captain so I expect law enforcement will get his full support.
BLM might as well take several seats if they even think they're going to keep the incoming mayor and NYPD from handling their business.
I just saw Adams on the news where he talked about
upholding his campaign promise to make NYC a safe
place to be. The way he speaks inspires confidence,
so I am hopeful the conditions there will be improved.
The city needs to return to the policy of stop and frisk.
It may infringe on people’s rights, but things are worse
now than they were when Mayor Giuliani implemented
stop and frisk.
The madness of assaults, pushing people into moving
subway trains, shootings, etc. needs to stop.
And the perps need to stay in jail, not get released
back to the streets to reoffend.
It is incomprehensible why Mayor de Blasio allowed
things to get so bad.

I hear this argument a lot, and I image it comes from folks who have never been robbed by someone else carrying a gun. I have and know others who have.
When you are ambushed by a gunman he usually takes you by surprise. Unless you are Quick Draw McGraw, or are walking around with you gun out with your finger on the trigger, you simply won't have have time to pull your piece in self-defense.
Now after you are robbed you can shoot the guy as he leaves, but are you really gonna risk killing someone else because you been robbed?
The argument that diamond couriers, and others like them, are not exceptions I would tolerate -- if guns were completely illegal.
There already too many guns out there and they are far to easy to acquire, arming more people is absolutely the wrong thing to do. I know culturally people feel very differently about this and it is not likely to happen.
In the meantime will continue to have more innocent children's being killed in schools. The notion that the solution is to arm teachers is alarming to me. We already have schools with armed police officers, where we require students to walk through metal detectors. Where does it end -- why not arm the students while we are at it?
I don't have an answer for all the various gun crime scenarios that
could happen to a person, all I know is that crime is out of control
and it's not safe to go outside, be in your own home, at church, at
school, at the restaurant, at the police station, or anywhere else.
It's hard to predict what a person will do in reaction to a gun.
When I was young, I jumped out of a moving car when a negro
pulled a gun on me. I'm not really the type of person you would
think of to jump out of a car, but that's what I did, rather than
getting shot. It's a good thing the dummy slowed down since
he couldn't do two things at once, drive a car and point a gun,
I wouldn't have survived that jump if he was driving real fast.
I am in Texas and now we can legally carry concealed weapons
without a permit, so I guess that the majority of people are
carrying a firearm.
I have seen the news where teachers are keeping guns in their
desks, and small children have been caught bringing a gun to
school. Not to mention all the school age shooters.
It's too late to put the genie back in the bottle on guns, there
are too many of them, the whole situation is mind boggling.
I'm just glad that this madness wasn't going on when I was a
youngster, I couldn't imagine being in school trying to learn
while worrying whether a shooter was going to make my day.

Well, I can't stand Obama anymore, although I voted for
him TWICE. He really hasn't done anything for us Black
people, and that is probably because he considers
himself as a white person.
All Obama ever did was push The Affordable Care Act,
which wasn't so affordable after all, and he put those
lesbians on the SCOTUS, which gave us gay marriage,
and a bunch of other mess to where we can't even use
a public restroom without possibly encountering some
sort of trans thing.
On Dyson, I used to agree with whatever he was talking
about but not lately. His rant about Lt Gov Sears being
a racist mouthpiece for white supremacists is absurd
and has no basis. You can't just accuse people of
being racist whenever you disagree with their politics.
He needs to assess what he is spewing because his
credibility is about to be in the toilet. He comes across
so hateful, deranged, and like he might be in need of
psychiatric assessment.
His critique of Obama falls in line with some of the
other Black scholars. They trashed Obama like a dog
while he was POTUS. They never really accepted him
as a Black person, a brotha, that's the real reason why
they hate him. They are also jealous of his success
at getting elected president.
Blaming Obama for giving us Trump is disingenuous,
because Trump talked about running for president
for decades.

However, a white woman would not have been interrogated the same way *if* she had a fever of 101 or higher leading to sepsis and a 9 day hospital stay.
On 11/9/2021 at 10:27 AM, daniellegfny said:That @Mzuri is the essence of the difference in treatment. They treated her like a drug addict and with a greater level of skepticism than if she had been White. I saw a video about a black dr who died because they didn’t take the woman at her word.
@ProfD and @daniellegfny
As Black people, we expect to be discriminated against anyway. But honestly,
EMTs are there to assess whether you need to be hospitalized. If everybody
that had a temperature dialed 911 demanding a transport, the hospitals would
be filled with fever patients. If she said she had chest pains or some other
serious ailment, she wouldn't have been questioned so much. As to the sepsis,
she probably contracted that while she was in the hospital.
I know that the multiple times I called an ambulance for my husband, he was
either about to have a stroke or having a heart attack, or he had some other
life-threatening episode going on. He was always taken to the hospital, and
paramedics asked us standard and routine questions to determine what the
matter was. I never got the impression that we were treated differently
because we are Black. If we were, I didn't notice it.
As to this lady's complaints about which hospital she was going to, homeless
people and drug addicts are entitled to the same standard of medical treatment
as everybody else. She demanded world-class medical care for herself, while
putting down other people she didn't deem as good enough. Being homeless
doesn't make you worthless.
The hospital she didn't want to be taken to, where the uninsured are served,
might be one of the best hospitals in the area. That's the way it is in my city.
I agree with @daniellegfny, if she felt she was discriminated against, she
needs to tell it to a lawyer, not be complaining about it in a YouTube video.

Arbery's Mother Calls Testimony Disturbing
4 hours ago, Troy said:I understand that Arbery entered a home that was under construction. I've done this dozens of times. I guess technically it is wrong, fortunately no one has ever shot me over doing it.
Here in Tulsa a man was shot, while riding his motorcycle, by a a motorist. They can only presume it was a road rage incident.
If it were up to me no one would be allowed to leave their home with a hand gun, and doing so would result in immediate imprisonment.
I think it's trespassing to enter a construction area without authorization
but if you're only there to observe and not trying to steal anything, it
shouldn't be a problem. With all the surveillance cameras everywhere,
people should be mindful of where they go and what they do.
I read an article about someone shooting another driver because he
LOOKED at him. It is scary to think that you can't even look at people
anymore.
I used to feel that only law enforcement, diamond couriers and certain
professions should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon, but these
days you need to carry a gun to defend yourself from all the other
people with a gun.
It's like the wild west days and it is ridiculous.

Everything is not about racism.
When you have a fever, you are supposed to take
ibuprofen or aspirin.
Fever alone should not be a 911 call.
If she had something else going on and the doctor
was sending her home, it was probably so that she
did not catch COVID while being in the hospital.
Or if they know they can’t do anything for you and
you just need to be on bedrest, you can do that
at home.
Ambulances routinely transport you to the nearest
facility if you need to be hospitalized.
It is EMT’s job to assess you and decide whether
to transport you, sometimes they will call and ask
a doctor about the situation as well.
Why she thought being an author would garner
special treatment makes no sense, anybody can
write a book these days. Trying to throw your
weight around by saying things like, “I am Mzuri
and I have seventy-five puzzle books on am*zon,”
sounds foolish.
That is not how they decide whether you need
to be hospitalized.
I disagree with this lady’s claims that she was
being discriminated against.
I think she is being unreasonable.

When I caught a glimpse of the furniture in the Queen's mouth (teeth), I refuse to believe she's never met a dentist she liked. She could have gotten those two rows of corn in her gums fixed a long time ago. Instead, she chose to spend the kingdom's money on other stuff.
I never noticed The Queen’s teeth, but the Brits are notorious for
having bad teeth.
Maybe they are scared of the dentist or have an aversion to pain.
At her advanced age, The Queen is doing good to have any
teeth at all.
I don’t think that The Queen spends money in the traditional
sense, her people just bring her whatever she wants. I could
not imagine her handling cash or a debit card.
That would be so crass.

You don’t have to care about any of it but
I LOOOOVED Princess Diana!!!
Why?
Probably because we were the exact same age,
and when Prince Charles was announcing their
engagement, I was getting married at that same
time, had my baby the same time as Diana, so I
always had an affinity towards her.
Obviously it was a distant and occasional affinity,
but when Diana was killed in that horrible collision,
I was sick. Like crying and staying in the bed all
day sick.
All the movies about Diana are too much. I have
seen several ducumentaries about her and I am
certain that everything about her has been
covered already.
The Queen.
OMG I LOOOOVE The Queen.
Why?
Because she is The Queen of EVERYTHING and
SHE IS FANTABULOUS.
I have books about The Queen’s wardrobe, her
life, her recipes, her relationship with Camilla,
and Catherine, and all the rest of it.
The Queen is the richest person in the world, she
has the most fabulous furniture, jewelry, clothes
and accessories than anyone else.
I have books on lots of topics since I’m a bookworm
with thousands of books, but I probably have more
books about the British Royals than anyone else.
Who is more interesting than them?
I certainly am NOT interested in the Bidens or any
of the reality TV personalities. Most of those trashy
people should be in jail.
Of course some of the royals should be in jail also.
A couple of them are shady as hell.
