Most of the leaders of the Republican Cult don’t even like Donald Trump, neither do our allies, or nearly anyone in the global community. So it’s clear to everyone with two spare brain cells to rub together that the GOP's loyalty to Trump is based purely on the number of Republican bigots who support him – and the irony is, even the bigots don’t like him. He simply helps to promote their agenda. </span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GOtM4SqE0zA/YJzgBKemiKI/AAAAAAAAKnc/cza4xl1uCWQJKV2Q4GpKW_cqZwh20ApEgCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/SUPER%2BPATRIOTS%2BAND%2BHATE.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="730" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GOtM4SqE0zA/YJzgBKemiKI/AAAAAAAAKnc/cza4xl1uCWQJKV2Q4GpKW_cqZwh20ApEgCLcBGAsYHQ/w304-h400/SUPER%2BPATRIOTS%2BAND%2BHATE.jpg" width="304" /></a></span></div><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">So dimwitted Donald has hit upon the key to the conservative Realm – unabashed bigotry.

All they’re thinking about is trying to win the next election. But anyone with common sense would realize that Trump is on his way to both, prison, and the ash heap of history. Even as we speak, the Giuliani investigation, and all of the hundreds of investigations into the Capitol insurrection is just one investigation – an investigation to find a smoking gun that connects Trump directly to the insurrection. Because chances are, Trump was just as surely on the phone with the insurrectionists as he was when he was caught on the phone with Georgia officials trying to interfere with the vote - which he may go to jail for.</span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW134723760" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW134723760 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{894238d4-b076-4897-b6c5-cf16985c7962}{118}" paraid="398162355" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-kerning: none; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW134723760 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{894238d4-b076-4897-b6c5-cf16985c7962}{118}" paraid="398162355" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-kerning: none; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW255475657 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW255475657 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">Donald Trump is so </span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW255475657 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW255475657 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">insecure, and</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW255475657 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW255475657 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> has such a flawed and immature character that his ego can't withstand the thought of losing, because in his mind, losing reveals what he's dedicated his life to trying to hide, that he's a daddy's boy, not nearly the man that he tries to pretend to be.

Donald Trump is hated by virtually everyone, while Liz Cheney is a part of a beloved conservative legacy, so by attacking her, Republican leaders have all but assured a deep division within the Republican Party. That division is sure to make them lose more elections than they win. Why didn't they have sense enough to recognize that fact!!!? So the fact is, they’ve done Liz Cheney a favor. They’ve inadvertently made her an American heroine who's defending America against Republican treachery, and in that capacity, she’s already demonstrated more balls than virtually any man in the Republican Party. She makes Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Kevin McCarthy look like whimpering schoolgirls. But that’s the problem with cults, their allegiance to their leader often transcends their common sense. But beyond that, what kind of idiot does it take to follow a geriatric 8-year-old like Trump?</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW37864958 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: normal;"> </span> </span><br class="SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW134723760 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW134723760 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">So once again, for a group of people who take pride in the delusion of superiority, the GOP is dumb as hell.

And eventually, one of my Black counselors, Mr. Cummings, who was studying to become a lawyer, started loaning me his law books to read, and that changed my life. <br />.<br />Later, I eventually got a reputation as a "jailhouse lawyer". That made it possible to spread my hustle all over town when I was on the street, because I didn't have to worry about gangs. Between the knowledge I'd obtained, and who my father was, helped me to become known among all the gang members on every set. In addition, I was the youngest student at Jacob A, Riis High School, where most of the gangsters throughout Los Angeles were sent to keep them from corrupting the "normal" kids. My knowledge of the law also helped me with the older crowd, and I </span><span class="TextRun SCXW36699520 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">started helping many of my father’s friends with their legal cases. That made my father quite proud, and he started treating me like a peer, as opposed to my older brother, Virgil, who he treated like a son. <br />.<br />As an aside, while Virgil and I were always as close as two brothers could be, I think Virgil envied the fact that our father treated me like one of his circle. But I always envied Virgil because he was treated like a son who was loved and protected. My father once told me, "Man, don't be influencing Virgil with this bullshit." That was painful, because Virgil was my <i>older</i> brother, and my father was acting like I was gonna tarnish <i>him</i>. He might as well have said, "to hell with you, you're already lost, but I don't want that to happen to Virgil." I never let Mac know that his remark was painful to me, because that would have seemed weak, but it did. But it also became a motivating factor in my life. It became a <i>"I'll show his ass"</i> moment in my life. It also made me cynical - to this very day, I never allow myself to get too close to anybody. It's me against the world, and I raised my son and daughter to embrace that very same philosophy. <br />.<br />So, I was misguided young person, but I was always dedicated to the proposition that knowledge is power, and I've always known that knowledge was the key to ending up on top. As a result, later, as an adult with a family, I hired myself out to attorneys to do legal research and brief writing for them. When I started studying the law I had a young mind that soaked up everything, so as a result of that, and all the legal research and writing on the law I was doing, in many cases I knew more about the law than the attorneys I was working for. They used to call me all the time to discuss their cases, and I used to charge them a third of their fees to do their legal research and brief writing, and they were happy to pay it.</span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW176253598" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW176253598 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{4973816a-2973-48e9-ba21-9ff3ce501ff5}{175}" paraid="610150574" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-family: times;"><span class="TextRun SCXW176253598 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW176253598 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW176253598 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW176253598 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span></span></span><span color="windowtext" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none;">So while I don't do many things well, God blessed me with the two talents that could sustain my life - an understanding of the law, and the ability to express it.

If many of us had to depend on our fathers for our survival, a large number of us would have long since starved to death. Your perception of Black dysfunction has been forged by the White media. The corporate media uses the most dysfunctional 10% of Black people as a model to portray the entire Black community.

But God and religion are two completely different things. God is existence itself. He, she, or it is what <i>“is”</i> is. God is whatever force is responsible for what we refer to as reality. So if we exist, so does God, because we exist within God - we're a part of God, as is all of existence. Religion, on the other hand, is merely a bunch of fairytales invented and compiled by man to get other men to believe he speaks on behalf of God. So religion is not the word of God, it's the word of mere germs under a toilet seat. It's man's attempt to convince other men that he knows what’s on God’s mind, in an effort to gain power, prestige, and wealth. That explains why there are over 4200 different religions on Earth. But if God had anything to do with any of them, there would only be one, right?</span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rzZzNE3haEY/YJphGXMHvGI/AAAAAAAAKmU/0D8EZmmivf4ZLva3Abe9d6STE_I8Dj2BQCLcBGAsYHQ/s876/RELIGIOUS%2BSTUPIDITY%252C%2BFAITH%2BOVER%2BFACTS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="876" data-original-width="604" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rzZzNE3haEY/YJphGXMHvGI/AAAAAAAAKmU/0D8EZmmivf4ZLva3Abe9d6STE_I8Dj2BQCLcBGAsYHQ/w276-h400/RELIGIOUS%2BSTUPIDITY%252C%2BFAITH%2BOVER%2BFACTS.jpg" width="276" /></a></div>But it’s useless to try to convince most people of that, because chances are, they were indoctrinated into their religious beliefs while they were children, and “the fear of God” was placed in them long before they had the ability to think for themselves.

He said after I left the church and refused to return, the Reverend sent his assistant pastor to the house to try talk to me, and they haven’t seen him since.

Hill. I always liked the Reverend. He was a very impressive and charismatic man - and after all, he did baptize me. But ironically, over thirty years later my son went to college with his secretary's daughter, and since my son is named after me, the Reverend knew exactly who he was. So we were able to have a very pleasant, and mutually respectful, conversation over the phone as peers. That gave me an opportunity to get closure on our relationship just before he died. I thank God for that, because in spite of the fact that I rejected his beliefs, I always felt guilty about getting up and walking out in the middle of his sermon. It was disrespectful, and disrespect is ungodly. I had only turned my back on the Reverend's beliefs, not the man, or God. But as I sat there in church, I just couldn't take it any more. I couldn't just sit there pretending to believe something that I considered nonsense. But that wasn't the Reverend's fault. I do believe that he was being sincere in his beliefs. </span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">After I left the church, I began to reassess everything I’d been taught to believe up until that time. As a result, the fantasies that most people casually accepted as common sense due to their childhood indoctrination, I saw as nonsense. But again, I started on my journey at 14 years old in response to Rev. E. V. Hill spewing what I easily recognized as conservative nonsense disguised as the will of God. He was a Black conservative, and just before I walked out, he was preaching about the "sin" of young Black women wearing short skirts and the Natural hairstyle. So when I got up and walked out of church, I didn't know it at the time, but I was not only rejecting religion, but conservative propaganda, which I later found was one and the same.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW147109945 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW147109945 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW147109945 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW147109945 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: center; user-select: text;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW147109945 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="298" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OSIrQBGfUtw" width="358" youtube-src-id="OSIrQBGfUtw"></iframe><br /><b>RELIGIOUS LUNACY</b></div></span></span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW147109945 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{f9c1f172-1d62-43e5-a704-3e8fb799fec1}{129}" paraid="1254477855" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">So, no, I don’t expect people to understand how I see religion, because it’s taken me a lifetime to understand it myself.

That’s why he died like any other man when they stabbed him. No, he didn't die for our sins. He died because they stabbed him, but his followers had to come up with a way to justify how a "God" could die. So they came up with the "died for our sins scenario" as the perfect explanation. Then they went and stole his body out of his crypt and claimed that he got up and walked away, another blatant lie. <br />.<br />God doesn't work that way. He doesn't deal in magic tricks. God is the essence of logic and consistency. And why would God have to go through all that? If God wanted to make a point, why didn't he just have Jesus laugh at his tormentors after they stabbed him? That would have said it all, and it would have been a case-closed event. But wait, I know. "God works in mysterious ways," right? Christians are very practiced, so they have an answer for everything that doesn't make sense.</span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW147109945 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3203ff85-68c1-44b1-aadd-788e2b14c668}{54}" paraid="1548237530" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="EOP SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW147109945" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW147109945 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3203ff85-68c1-44b1-aadd-788e2b14c668}{38}" paraid="856639867" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KkdSYfQCk28/YJAJ3cwBclI/AAAAAAAAKjE/u-0je-twBZc06t5pgW67B8LVSkFfw_2mQCLcBGAsYHQ/s225/OBAMA%2BDEMON.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KkdSYfQCk28/YJAJ3cwBclI/AAAAAAAAKjE/u-0je-twBZc06t5pgW67B8LVSkFfw_2mQCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/OBAMA%2BDEMON.jpg" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW147109945 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">What I just described is perfect logic, and if the average person hadn’t been indoctrinated into Christianity as a child, the facts would be just as crystal clear to everyone else as they are to me.

The book we've been taught to have faith in is the superstitious rantings of 3000-year-old dead men who didn't know any more about God than we do. They wrote it to mislead us into believing in the word of man, and honoring them, instead of following the true word of God that resides within our hearts. How do I know this?

Instead, they became the conservative coalition, and lowered their profile as blatant aristocrats, but continued to pursue their agenda by using their wealth, power, and various other strategies to divide the people to achieve their agenda, and that’s what we see today. That accounts for why conservatives tend to be specialists in obstructionism and division, and why the American people ALWAYS suffer under conservative governance.</span><span class="EOP SCXW182653564 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #00264c; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW182653564" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW182653564 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{86c06ee3-3aa7-4e18-84da-8ebe10e60bcb}{137}" paraid="165176080" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW182653564 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="EOP SCXW182653564 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW182653564" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW182653564 BCX8" paraeid="{2b4d7c58-a5b4-4590-953c-7e2b7fa06246}{195}" paraid="496919877" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="TextRun SCXW182653564 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">The word “conservative” by definition means dedicated to “conserving” past tradition.

Anyone who's too self-serving to recognize that fact doesn't belong in congress, because it's proof positive that they're putting their own careers before defending American democracy – they're a bunch of self-serving, weak-kneed, Lindsey Grahams. <br />.<br />Donald Trump TRIED TO OVERTHROW OUR GOVERNMENT! If we don’t send him and everybody who colluded with him to prison, we don’t deserve a democracy. He should already be in chains!

That prevents Black people from getting the kind of support that we might get otherwise. When people think of Civil Rights, they generally have the image of a particular Black person in their mind, and if they don’t like the image they visualize, they tend to turn their backs on the cause. Well, Al Sharpton has made himself one of the primary images that people think of when they think of Civil Rights. So when many are voting in jury rooms to determine whether or not Black lives matter, they think of Sharpton, and that's bad news. Think about it. What are the chances you would support the cause of a person who brought Donald Trump to your mind?</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW151879513" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW151879513 BCX8" paraeid="{2eda47a8-d05a-4668-b3f5-0e01046df56b}{236}" paraid="2101701773" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="TextRun SCXW151879513 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW151879513 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">When a rogue cop goes before a jury for killing a Black man, the jury is supposed to follow the evidence.

He doesn’t give a damn about the reasons for most demonstrations, all he cares about is looking good for the cameras. Sharpton’s one and only specialty is preaching into cameras. He never gives trying to find ways of<i> preventing</i> crimes against Black people a second thought. That’s far too close to real work, and there’s no glory in it. So the fact is, if true justice ever came to the Black community, it would be Sharpton’s worst nightmare, because it would mean no more cameras, and thus, the end of his career.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW151879513 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW151879513 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW151879513 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="TextRun SCXW151879513 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xYJ02d6BSBs/YIOIoMLNmKI/AAAAAAAAKgM/SXPeppdf7eU1hwTFJQ3GDUKvMwsmthoKgCLcBGAsYHQ/s546/TAVIS%2BSMILEY%2BAND%2BCORNEL%2BWEST%2BON%2BOBAMA.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="370" data-original-width="546" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xYJ02d6BSBs/YIOIoMLNmKI/AAAAAAAAKgM/SXPeppdf7eU1hwTFJQ3GDUKvMwsmthoKgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/TAVIS%2BSMILEY%2BAND%2BCORNEL%2BWEST%2BON%2BOBAMA.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span class="TextRun SCXW151879513 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">Now, I know I’m being hard on Sharpton and his ilk, but thanks to Trump, the nation's bigots are going crazy. So it’s time for the Black community to stop putting up with the Sharptons in the community and get serious.<br />.<br />There’s plenty of evidence to prove that these attention-seeking egomaniacs are all about themselves. When Barack Obama first appeared on the scene and began to get national attention as the potential first Black President, people like Sharpton didn’t celebrate the arrival of a new day in America, on the contrary, Tavis Smiley all but demanded that Obama come on his show to get his approval to run. Smiley thought he <i>owned</i> the Black community, so Barack Obama had to come kiss his ring to get <i>permission</i> to run for President. Listen to Cornel West in the video below. He's talking like Obama had an <i>obligation</i> to come on Tavis' show.</span><p></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW151879513 BCX8" paraeid="{2eda47a8-d05a-4668-b3f5-0e01046df56b}{248}" paraid="123127072" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-kerning: none; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; text-align: left; white-space: pre;"> </span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; text-align: left; white-space: pre;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="293" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HXj3_pjTTwg" width="352" youtube-src-id="HXj3_pjTTwg"></iframe></div><br /></span></div><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW151879513 BCX8" color="windowtext" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: WordVisiCarriageReturn_MSFontService, "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="TextRun SCXW41901155 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW41901155 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">Then later, as Obama began to become even more popular, Jesse Jackson was overheard on a hot mike saying he’d “like to cut his [Obama’s] balls off.” Then after Obama </span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW41901155 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW41901155 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">actually won</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW41901155 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman_EmbeddedFont", "Times New Roman_MSFontService", serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW41901155 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> the Presidency, Jesse was in the audience with tears in his eyes, and they weren’t tears of joy.

ARNOLD STREET</em><br /><em>FAIRCHILD AFB, WA 99011</em><br /><em><br /></em><em>SUBJECT: Recommendation for Staff Sergeant Eric L. Wattree</em><br /><em><br /></em><em>1. I wholeheartedly concur with Staff Sergeant Wattree’s request to attend Officer Training School. He represents the enlisted ranks with the highest standard and will bring that dedication and professionalism to the officer corps.</em><br /><br /><em>2. Eric continues to lead a stellar military career; his enlisted performance reports speak for themselves. His leadership and experience, especially in contingency environments, remains a vital asset to our unit and wing. As one of my primary Phoenix Raven team leaders, he’s propelled to the forefront of all major deployments throughout the world. He’s repeatedly secured aircraft and crews, supporting a wide variety of missions, in the most austere and terrorist-ridden environments where security is severely inadequate. The diversity of these missions never limited SSgt Wattree’s capacity to adapt to each situation. For this reason, Eric was selected as our 2000 Outstanding Phoenix Raven Member of the Year and the 2001 Air Force Reserve Component Airman of the Year for the 92d Security Forces Squadron.</em><br /><br /><em>3. Whether operating under peacetime or contingency operations, Eric easily assumes control and tackles every situation with meticulous tenacity, a quality highly desired in our Air Force officers. Requested by name, Sergeant Wattree, provided security for presidential Banner missions throughout Greece, Peru and Viet Nam. While deployed to Afghanistan, he flew numerous combat missions in our nation’s pursuit to eradicate terrorism through Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. Additionally, he provided round-the-clock force protection for aircraft in other high-threat environments including Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Oman.</em><br /><br /><em>4. Sergeant Wattree motivated his personnel during the worst conditions and raised the level of esprit de corps to integrate personnel from other Air Force specialties into a cohesive team. His leadership, integrity and devotion to our Air Force play an integral part in our future leadership. Eric has what it takes to become a commissioned officer and earns my full support to attend Officer Training School.</em><br /><br />FRANK HELLSTERN, JR., Captain, USAF<br />Operations Officer</span></span><br /><div style="color: #00264c; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; text-align: center;">*</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #00264c; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-weight: 400; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5v8inkkHXv0/YHyh_5u9gqI/AAAAAAAAKd4/MIuSSn1AhOIUAGMMFc4_N4qfddU86g1IACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Lil%2BEric%2Bin%2BFlight%2B-%2BCopy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="442" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5v8inkkHXv0/YHyh_5u9gqI/AAAAAAAAKd4/MIuSSn1AhOIUAGMMFc4_N4qfddU86g1IACLcBGAsYHQ/w276-h400/Lil%2BEric%2Bin%2BFlight%2B-%2BCopy.jpg" width="276" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: #00264c; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">THE APU HALL OF FAME<br />.</span></div><div style="color: #00264c; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: 400;"> "In a tense, high stakes, pressure situation, where only two options exist and just one that is favorable, there is no man better the moment and no one better to protect your interests than Eric Wattree.

That clearly shows that their understanding of how the system is supposed to work was turned completely on its head. So it's no wonder that Donald Trump is on his way to the ash heap of history - and probably, by way of the penitentiary. Who gives a damn what they tell Trump? The voter is not beholding to Donald Trump. Trump was SUPPOSED to be beholding to the voter, and that's a big part of the Republican problem. <br />.<br />The Republican congress routinely vote down legislation that's supported by the vast majority of the American people, and after the last election, Trump ignited an insurrection in attempt to throw out the votes of millions of Americans who voted against him. So Republican politicians have clearly demonstrated that they have absolutely no respect for the will of the people. A democracy can't function under those conditions. It's un-American on its face, so it's incumbent upon us to weed these authoritarian-prone conservative Republicans out of our government. <br />.<br />Republican politicians tend to have delusions of grandeur. Donald Trump thought that he could <i>demand</i> that the Presidency be given to him whether he won the election or not; Mitch McConnell thinks he has the exclusive right to control who goes on the Supreme Court and what legislation should become law of the land; Republican legislatures in 47 states have proposed 361 laws to suppress the people's right to vote, and Mo Brooks thought he had the right to disrupt our democracy by telling an angry mob to go to the Capitol and "kick ass, and take names". So it's past time to bring you people down a peg or two and make it clear who's running this country. </span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW64719947 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{60d4af99-eb21-413f-a9e3-ce30f14df01c}{43}" paraid="1128085948" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="EOP SCXW64719947 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="EOP SCXW64719947 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="308" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BEV1-qmICxk" width="370" youtube-src-id="BEV1-qmICxk"></iframe></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="EOP SCXW64719947 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><br /></span></span></div></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW64719947" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW64719947 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{b3046bd9-6d97-47da-86a1-c174a15af2d0}{117}" paraid="245768300" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span class="TextRun SCXW64719947 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW64719947 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">You politicians are neither our leaders, nor are you our intellectual superiors; you're our EMPLOYEES, and if you don't understand that fact you need to be working in a carwash.

They’re both desperate to hold on to an undeserved stature in society, and they're willing to stage a revolt against the United States to do it.<br />. <br />Having to compete on a level playing field, and possibly not being able to measure up to non-Whites would be a fate worse than death. Trump knows that for a fact, due to his experience with Barack Obama. So Trump and his followers have a common cause, and while Trump is unwilling to give-up his own life (because he's a coward), he's more than willing to fight to his supporters' last breath in defense of their cause. That's what makes them so dangerous - Trump is ruthless, and his supporters are dumb.</span></span></span><p></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW41116440" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW41116440 BCX8" paraeid="{f822b365-2420-4b21-9fdf-745ca6f12957}{185}" paraid="2066081474" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="EOP SCXW41116440 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: large; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="293" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RylmpOXclKI" width="352" youtube-src-id="RylmpOXclKI"></iframe></span></div><p></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW41116440" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW41116440 BCX8" paraeid="{f822b365-2420-4b21-9fdf-745ca6f12957}{191}" paraid="1713899316" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW41116440 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">Thus, the current situation provides the perfect opportunity for a demagogue to exploit conservative anger for his own selfish interests.

So get up off your knees and stop beggin' God to bend to your desires. God did his part when he gave you a brain, so the rest is up to you. God didn't created us to go around whinin' and beggin'. He created us to hold our heads high and use our common sense to face reality and solve our own problems, not to try to get him to make bigotry prevail. That's one of the many things wrong with religion - in addition to it being a total myth - it turns us into a bunch of sniveling whiners who beg for God to let us have our way. That's not God's will - it's man's.<br />.<br />So following religion is not how God intended for the world to work. If you're walking down a railroad track and see a train coming, you have two choices - you can either test your "faith," by falling on your knees and praying for God to stop the train, or you can use the common sense that God bestowed upon you and get the hell out the way. God created us to choose the latter. Who needs a child around who's always testing our love? Such a child would be a pain in the ass. </span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW38680886 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{6a55a687-4c1d-474f-a50e-cf101a86d65b}{151}" paraid="788895138" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW38680886 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW38680886 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{6a55a687-4c1d-474f-a50e-cf101a86d65b}{151}" paraid="788895138" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW38680886 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">So, if you choose the first option, to fall on your knees and pray for God to stop the train, God's gonna let you be splattered all over the railroad track, because being stupid is ungodly.

Instead of following the common sense bestowed upon him by God, he chooses to worship totem poles; and instead of using his money to feed his family, he goes out and buys his preacher a new Cadillac, because his preacher has convinced him that making him happy will make God happy. So man mindlessly goes about life trying to bribe his way into Heaven. But that's dumb. You can't bribe God! And worse, being dumb is ungodly. Ignorance and stupidity is the complete opposite of God's wisdom, and that makes it a damnable sin. The essence of Godliness is the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. Thus, choosing to be stupid in an attempt to get into Heaven is against God's will. <br />.<br /></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NqZyhvawJjY/YHrnB5QqkLI/AAAAAAAAKcs/XP5i-PgtBMwCj9R-w6T-LOMdi5xhWlhiQCLcBGAsYHQ/s220/CHRISTIAN_DON%2527T%2BTHINK.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="146" data-original-width="220" height="212" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NqZyhvawJjY/YHrnB5QqkLI/AAAAAAAAKcs/XP5i-PgtBMwCj9R-w6T-LOMdi5xhWlhiQCLcBGAsYHQ/w320-h212/CHRISTIAN_DON%2527T%2BTHINK.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">IGNORE WHAT GOD GAVE YOU <br />AND LISTEN TO MAN?</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW38680886 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">When you follow ANY religion, you’re following the word of man, not God.

So you're being fed a lot of nonsense, and you’re ignoring the common sense that God bestowed upon you. By placing man over God, and faith over common sense, you're like a bird who refuses to fly, or a fish who refuses to swim. You're allowing man to convince you not to do what God created you to do - think. <br />.<br />It’s especially important for Black people to understand this, because religion is the oldest form of brainwashing.

The reason one man kills another man for money is because he's too ignorant to realize that money is not what life is about. Donald Trump has much more money than Barack Obama, but who do you think is happier, and more Godly? <br />.<br />So you don't need a Bible to avoid sin, all you have to do is do what God created you to do - think, and learn to recognize stupidity when you see it. That's why God blessed you with a mind, but when you follow <i>any</i> preacher, you're letting the preacher do your thinking for you.<br />.<br />So those who are referred to as "the faithful" should actually be called "the mindless," because they're </span><span class="TextRun SCXW38680886 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #050505; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">blindly following what they were taught as children would keep the Bogeyman away.

Conservatives, by definition, are dedicate to “conserving” the traditions of the past at all costs. There’s a very simple reason for that - because past traditions have always given them a leg up. Preserving tradition guarantees that their stature in society is based on the color of their skin rather than their intellect or their ability to compete. For that reason, conservatives tend to be the most dangerous and reactionary group of any society they’re a part of, because they're fighting to maintain a tradition they view as essential to preserving their way of life. We see evidence of that all over the world. </span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW56259151 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW56259151 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW56259151 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW56259151 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW56259151 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW56259151 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW56259151 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW56259151 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: none;"></span></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span color="windowtext" style="font-family: times;"><span class="TextRun SCXW56259151 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: none;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q6Z04T3CmuU/YHHl8AUZ_iI/AAAAAAAAKZQ/OtumhR9QWWcUYy4VbV_4TbLWDbaTV0C7ACLcBGAsYHQ/s800/CONFEDERATE%2BBIBLE.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q6Z04T3CmuU/YHHl8AUZ_iI/AAAAAAAAKZQ/OtumhR9QWWcUYy4VbV_4TbLWDbaTV0C7ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/CONFEDERATE%2BBIBLE.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span color="windowtext" style="font-family: times;"><span class="TextRun SCXW56259151 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: none;">In the Middle East, it’s the devout Muslims who are responsible for most of the death and mayhem throughout the region.

And beyond that, it's more likely than not that he's also under the influence of Vladimir Putin. If that wasn't the case, Trump would never have had the courage to try to pull off an insurrection against the United States on his own, because he's much too much of a blustering and braggadocios wimp. Bigmouth braggarts like Trump are always cowards.

How else do we explain away the fact that Trump tried not once, but twice, to establish a "back-channel" means of communication with Russia that couldn't be monitored by our intelligence services? And why else would Trump side with Putin before the entire world against our own intelligence community in Helsinki? And why would Trump completely ignore the fact that Putin placed a bounty on the heads of American troops? Trump also acted in Russia's interest when he turned on our loyal allies, the Kurds.

Why? Why has Trump been so determined to destabilize the very pillars of our democracy? Take a moment to consider that question. The answer is glaringly obvious. <br />.<br />If Trump had been intelligent enough to try to hide his treachery we would have been all over him. But in this case his gross ineptness worked in his favor. We felt that he was so open in his behavior that it must have somehow been justified. And he's benefiting from that very same kind of thinking regarding the insurrection. <br />.<br />The primary reason that Trump is not in jail as we speak, is because the American people can't believe that <i>anybody</i> could be dumb enough to try to stage an insurrection right in the open and on national television. So we've assumed that Trump's insurrection was intended to be lawful a demonstration that just go out of hand. We also assumed that Trump simply didn't have the common sense to understand what he was putting into motion. But we mustn't forget that <i>prior</i> to the "demonstration," when Trump was urging his supporters to attend, he promised them that it "will be wild" - and, for once, he didn't lie, but how did he know it was going to "be wild" in advance?<br />.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t4lj1zbUkJk/YHYW_vZ4JvI/AAAAAAAAKaU/nZg4HnA_droCVOTB7KDZAaN5rJbhIBTBQCLcBGAsYHQ/s602/TRUMP%2BMOST%2BDANGEROUS%2BPRESIDENT.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="602" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t4lj1zbUkJk/YHYW_vZ4JvI/AAAAAAAAKaU/nZg4HnA_droCVOTB7KDZAaN5rJbhIBTBQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/TRUMP%2BMOST%2BDANGEROUS%2BPRESIDENT.jpg" /></a></div>So, Donald Trump's "cozy" relationship with Vladimir Putin is clear, and anyone who can't see a pattern in all the so-called "coincidences" attendant to it is blind. Donald Trump is undoubtedly a Russian asset. That's why he insisted on the intelligence community declassifying their files to allow Bill Barr to investigate their investigation into the Trump-Russian collusion. He wanted to know how much they knew. <br />.<br />Yes, it seems unbelievable, but then, we've never had a person as self-serving, intellectually flawed, and totally corrupt as Donald Trump in the White House before. So we've got to open our eyes and recognize the fact that America is not invulnerable to tyranny. Before January 6th, we never thought our nation's Capitol would ever be attacked by our own citizens. But times are changing, and so is the Republican Party. The Republican Party has become so radicalized that Ronald Reagan couldn't be elected in today's environment. So it's essential that we address that issue.</span></span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW56259151" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><span color="windowtext" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: times;"><span class="TextRun SCXW56259151 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></span></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW56259151" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span color="windowtext" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: times;"><span class="TextRun SCXW56259151 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">Conservative leaders have clearly connected the dots, but now that they're rapidly losing both power and clout, they've placed their own interest before the interests of the nation.

Never having earned anything on his own merit is why he's so incompetent and intolerant of disloyalty. He's never had to actually <i>earn</i> anything in his life. His father simply <i>gave</i> him everything. Even when he wanted to go to college, he just <i>paid</i> someone to take the SAT exam for him, and his older sister did his homework. Then later, his father got a doctor to lie to get him out of the draft. As a result, Trump thinks that's the way life is supposed to work. He thinks he's <i>"The chosen one", </i>and the world is obligated to cater to his desires. <br />.<br />Then after his father died, and his gross incompetence sent him into bankruptcy, and every American bank turned their backs on him, that's when Putin stepped in and took his father's place. That accounts for Trump's unwavering loyalty to Vladimir Putin. The Russians, literally, saved Trump from financial disaster - and they may still be propping him up to this day. That's undoubtedly why he's been so secretive about his financial situation.

Born on May 17, 1932, Jackie was destined to become one of the greatest innovators on the alto saxophone, and in jazz, that the world has ever known. He was a direct musical descendant of the illustrious Charles “Yardbird” Parker, Bebopper-in-chief. In fact, Bird was there to witness his young protégé’s first recording date with yet another jazz giant, Miles Dewey Davis. Jackie, at the tender age of 19, was quite nervous during that session, but Bird took the time to give him the same advice that he’d given Miles in his youth, “Just calm down and do what you do.” Well, just like Miles before him, Jackie did calm down, and a new era in jazz had begun.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">History will someday look back upon all these men with at least as much reverence as we now look upon Beethoven, Mozart and the like. But while these men stand as towering monuments to the creative genius within our culture, the death of Jackie McLean passed without so much as a whimper within the Black community. There was no urgency in the Black community to hand down the legacy of this great musician to our now culturally deprived younger generation. But fortunately, jazz is also a part of American culture, so ironically, it was primarily the White community that both recognized and noted the significance of Jackie’s death. So allow me to take a moment to swallow my pride and say . . . Thank God for the White man!</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Failure to acknowledge the best in ourselves is a serious problem within the Black community, and I attribute it directly to our failure to assess the impact of integration on Black culture. During the civil rights movement we became so caught up with trying to fit into the larger society that we lost ourselves in the process. While we were busy running away from our identity, White scholars were furiously setting up Ph.D. Programs at universities all over the world studying every facet of the very cultural geniuses that we began to ignore. We’ve become so intent on chasing the frivolous, that we’re oblivious to everything of real value within ourselves.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">There’s an old saying that rings particularly true in our current condition--“Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it.” Well, We’ve got it. There was a time when we had our values in tact, solid communities, and knew who we were as a people, but we had one glaring weakness--we yearned to live large like White folks.<br />.<br />True, we didn’t have much, but what we did have was rich in culture. Now many of us have achieved the dream of living large, but at what cost? Our values have been destroyed, we have no sense of community, and we’re now getting over by imitating the world’s imitation of who we <i>use</i> to be. At the same time, White kids, and kids of other nationalities are sitting in universities and music conservatories around the world learning more about the music of Bird, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jackie McLean, and Black culture in general, than most Black people will ever know.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Now, this is not an indictment against the White man, after all, it’s not his fault that we don’t have the insight to recognize and pass down our own cultural legacy--in fact, we owe him a debt of gratitude, because it now falls on him to preserve for posterity that which is best in us. The fact is, we’re fortunate he’s around, but it’s a damn shame that we have to rely on someone else to do what we should be doing for ourselves, while we pursue the frivolous, and declare calling the mothers of our salvation "bitches" and "hoes" a new form of art.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Yes, many of us now have more and are living better than we’ve ever lived before, but again, at what price? Ask yourself, where are the Charlie Parkers, Miles Davis’, and Marvin Gays of today? Where is the next Aretha, Al Green, or Dexter Gordon? The fact is, they no longer exist, because we no longer exist—at least, as we once were. We’ve lost that urge to say, I’m going to study these scales, chords, and progressions, and demonstrate to the world that I can be one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. Now, instead of seeking excellence, we settle for the dollar, and instead of making records that will speak to eternity, we're scratchin’ them and saying “yo, yo, yo.” We no longer have the time to learn, because “we’ve got to keep it real”— which is to say, ignorant. <br />.<br />We no longer seek to express the essence of who we are as a people, because we no longer know who we are as a people. At the rate and direction that we're going, before long Black people are going to have the unique distinction of being the only culture in the history of mankind who are incapable of performing the very art that we created. If we want to hear true jazz we're going to have to leave the community and go have others play it for us.</span><br style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #00264c;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #00264c;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">As a direct result of this horrible situation, we no longer have heroes, or a story to tell. But here’s a story about when we did have heroes, and how the excellence of one such hero managed to capture the imagination of an impressionable Black child. So let that child now take a moment to lay that story before you.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #00264c;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #00264c;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="background-color: white;

All Black people don't think alike, so I find your attempt to use the words of King to try to influence my thinking as not only racist and condescending, but grievously insulting. Do all White people think alike? I don't think so. So what makes you think that Black people are any different? Just because Martin Luther King is a Black icon doesn't mean that I agree with everything he says. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none;">.<br />Black people think as individuals. So while I have much respect for the accomplishments of both Ms. Angelou, and Rev. King, I don’t allow them to think for me. I view their opinions as just that – opinions, and nothing more. I never give anyone else's ability to think priority over my own. It doesn't matter to me whether they're Black or White, or if it's Martin Luther King, Maya Angelou, or Malcolm X. Such people had their opinions and I have mine, and I have no reason to believe that the opinions of any of those people, as illustrious as they may be, are any more valid than my own. After all, Rev. King was a preacher, and as such, he believed in walking dead men and talking snakes. Even though I'm a firm believer in God, I don't believe any of those myths for a minute.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.<br /></span><span style="font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none;">So Howard, the bottom line is, no matter how much I admire a person, I NEVER trust anyone else's judgement over my own. I learned to avoid that cognitive pitfall in college when various professors used to try to fuse their personal opinions in with the facts. I learned through those experiences to only use the opinions of others as a starting point, then, ALWAYS do my own research</span></span><span style="font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none;"> and connect the dots for myself. That's a lesson I think you could benefit from as well. While others may have facts that you don't possess, once you obtain the facts, you should NEVER trust anyone else to interpret their meaning for you. That's how you allow yourself to be manipulated. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none;">.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none;">Perfect examples of that is when Trump claimed that the reason the Covid virus seemed to be spreading so rapidly was because we were doing too much testing. He also claimed that since Lysol is a disinfectant, drinking it may cure the virus. And finally, he claimed that </span><span style="font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none;">the mere fact that he lost the election was absolute proof of election fraud. Only idiots would accept those interpretations of the facts as valid. Yet, many of Trump's followers did - enough of them, in fact, that they refuse to wear masks, died from ingesting Lysol, and they were so convinced of election fraud that they attacked the U. S. Capitol. So there's a valid reason why many people don't take Trump supporters seriously. Far too many of you tend to believe in Voodoo.</span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none;">.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QwecN5EWpy0/YGqZtYKLlsI/AAAAAAAAKXI/CkPAa2ldy3sPN2cs59Qz42MduuoIXJvswCLcBGAsYHQ/s225/KENTUCK%2BHOME.png" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QwecN5EWpy0/YGqZtYKLlsI/AAAAAAAAKXI/CkPAa2ldy3sPN2cs59Qz42MduuoIXJvswCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/KENTUCK%2BHOME.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>MITCH MCCONNELL'S <br />CONSTITUENTS</b></td></tr></tbody></table>That's exactly why I view your blind acceptance of the conservative party line a flaw in your thinking. In my opinion, the only reason you're a conservative in the first place is because you never stop to consider the nonsense you've allowed yourself to consume. While, granted, that's merely my opinion, you've repeatedly demonstrated that you fail to scrutinize the words of people you admire. Far too often you seem to take their words at face value. That presents a serious obstacle to your ability to objectively assess reality - especially when it comes to Donald Trump, because if there’s anything he’s renowned for, it’s lying. <br />.<br />The Capitol insurrection was a direct result of the idiocy of Trump followers' embrace of his lie about election fraud at face value – the lie was so blatantly transparent that it's come to be known as "The Big Lie". Yet, I’ve personally heard you repeat that lie on several occasions. That reflects a profound level of gullibility, and it renders both your credibility, and overall judgment, highly suspect. With every comment you make, one has to wonder if it's your own considered opinion, or if you're simply regurgitating something you heard on Fox News. </span></span></div><div><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><span class="TextRun SCXW73578177 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW73578177 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">I've had to scratch my head on more than one occasion at how casually you accepted "the election fraud" myth.

Trump specializes in making wild and outrageous comments without ever bothering to back them up, which seems to be a conservative trait. That accounts for why most conservatives tend to be anti-intellectual, and why most educated people don’t take conservatives seriously.<br />.<br />Logical thought is the enemy of conservative philosophy. For that reason, most conservatives have a hostility towards logical thought. They consider it 'elitist'. They're forced to take that position because logic is inconsistent with their distorted view of reality. As a direct result, most conservatives tend to be recklessly inefficient thinkers. They specialize in bitchin’, whining, and conjuring up wild conspiracy theories, and then try to pass them off as facts.<br />.<br />I mean, what kind of twisted thinking does it take to turn the need to wear a mask during a pandemic into a civil rights issue? They're just being childishly petulant. According to the twisted logic of conservatives, they have a RIGHT to go around spreading a deadly disease to others. Just take a minute to consider the complete stupidity of taking that position. God placed us here on Earth naked, so I may have a yearning to remain that way. I may yearn to feel the wind against my balls, but does that give me the RIGHT to walk around nude? No it doesn't. So what right do people have to walk around spreading a deadly disease? That's Neanderthal-type thinking.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><span class="TextRun SCXW73578177 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW73578177 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">.<br />If conservatives were the least bit logical they'd recognize that we routinely sacrifice our individual rights for the benefit of society. Many in society may not want to see my balls, so it becomes necessary for me to sacrifice my desires for the greater good. But most conservatives don't understand that, because they tend to be grossly delusional. Much like Donald Trump, they think everything in life should conform to their desires. That explains why they're so dedicated to Trump in the first place, because they suffer from the exact same delusions of grandeur that he does. That's also why it takes people who share their world of delusion to even begin to take them seriously. <br />.<br />But, Howard, I'm betting that you're not that ignorant.</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW73578177 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> I don't believe a man of your caliber could possibly really believe some of the nonsense you tend to spew. I think you just pretend to believe it, because it justifies what you want to believe about reality.<br />.<br />Conservatives are like petulant children, always bitchin', moanin', and complainin'. But there's a reason for that. Demographics predict that White people are about to become a minority in America, so now that their numbers will no longer give them an advantage, they no longer have any use for democracy. That makes conservatives dangerous, and the domestic enemy of the American people. Is that you, Howard? I don't think it is. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="TextRun SCXW130389375 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW130389375 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none;">.</span></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW130389375 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW130389375 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span><span style="font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none;">Yet, you claimed I should be shaking in my boots over the receipt of THIS version of reality? REALLY!!!? If this is the best you can do, it's no wonder conservatives feel so threatened by others. Based on what you've written, you have much to be concerned about, because there's a group of Black and Brown young people coming up today who are not gonna tolerate this mindless bullshit for a second. It's past time for you to recognize that it's no longer good enough to simply be White to have a leg up in society. You need to face that fact. In today's world you're gonna have to be knowledgeable, competitive. and bring something of value to the table to <i>prove</i> how<i> </i>special you are. <br />.<br />So again, Howard, as I see it, the flaw in your thinking is your tendency to take conservative talking points at face value without giving them any serious thought, scrutiny, or contemplation. Instead of following truth wherever it leads, you're trying to contort truth into a configuration that conforms to what you want to believe. There's a word for that - delusional. It brings to mind the people who drank Lysol because Trump suggested it was a possible cure for Covid-19. I think you're much too intelligent to embrace that kind of delusional thinking, Howard. In fact, I don't believe you're even a true conservative, Howard, because if you were, it would have been impossible for us to become friends. The fact is, I think you're a <i>victim</i> of conservatism. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none;">I refuse to accept the fact that you're an ignorant man, because I know ignorance when I see it.

It clearly demonstrates the danger of allowing a self-serving sociopath to run loose in a society filled with weak-minded and unthinking followers. But what his blind followers fail to realize is, Trump doesn’t give a damn about them. He has no respect for them at all. To Donald Trump they're just mindless tools to help him promote his own personal agenda. Clear evidence of that is the fact that he just had to repay $122.7 million to supporters just like yourself that he bilked out of campaign donations.<br />.<br />Here's where substantiation claims comes in, Howard. According to a New York Times report, Trump emailed campaign donation forms to his supporters with a pre-checked box that made what they thought was a one-time donation, recurring. So if a supporter thought he was making a one-time donation of a hundred dollars, his credit card was charged a recurring donation of a hundred dollars a month, and then later, when Trump needed more funds, he changed it to a hundred dollars every week.<br />.<br />CNN reported that, "<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #262626; font-variant-ligatures: normal;">With a pre-checked box on the National Republican Congressional Committee's donation page on the GOP's online fundraising platform, WinRed, donors are opted into making monthly donations and told: 'We need to know we haven't lost you to the Radical Left. If you UNCHECK this box, we will have to tell Trump you're a DEFECTOR & sided with the Dems."'</span><br />.<br />That's the ultimate in heard manipulation. You don't do that to people you have any respect for. Thus, Donald Trump is a pimp, and you're his hoes. It's as simple as that.</span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3d92727f-03ce-4d03-9a14-1b858bbd2322}{218}" paraid="1167523024" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3d92727f-03ce-4d03-9a14-1b858bbd2322}{218}" paraid="1167523024" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><b><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2021/04/03/trump-campaign-reportedly-forced-to-refund-more-than-122-million-to-donors/?sh=1bacfc5158a3">TRUMP CAMPAIGN FORCED TO REFUND MORE THAN $122 MILLION TO DONORS (forbes.com)</a> </b></span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3d92727f-03ce-4d03-9a14-1b858bbd2322}{218}" paraid="1167523024" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1RmmzJ39JAs" width="320" youtube-src-id="1RmmzJ39JAs"></iframe></span></div><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3d92727f-03ce-4d03-9a14-1b858bbd2322}{218}" paraid="1167523024" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">.</span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW27600307" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3d92727f-03ce-4d03-9a14-1b858bbd2322}{244}" paraid="794380114" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">Further evidence of Trump's attitude towards his supporters is what he said about them after he began to get negative blowback regarding the Capitol insurrection.

He is a man who wanted to be President of the world as opposed to President of the United States. That might be a great role for him to play but that is not the job for which he was hired. He bowed to every tin hat dictator he met and seemed very sorry that he only had one hat to take off at a time to beg forgiveness and apologize for everything and anything that the United States might have ever done.

So I learned to consume what they had to offer, but I ALWAYS researched what they had to say, and then connected the dots for myself. All I was interested in was the facts they had to offer, not their opinions.<br />.<br />That's exactly why I view your blind acceptance of the conservative party line a flaw in your thinking. That's undoubtedly why you're a conservative in the first place, because you've never stopped to consider the nonsense you've allowed yourself to consume. You've clearly demonstrated that you fail to scrutinize the words of people you admire. You simply take their words at face value. That presents a serious obstacle to your ability to objectively assess reality - especially when it comes to Donald Trump, because if there’s anything he’s renowned for, it’s lying. In fact, the Capitol insurrection was the direct result of one of his lies – a lie I’ve personally heard you repeat on several occasions. Thus, that renders both your credibility, and judgment, highly suspect. With every comment that you make, one has to wonder if it's your own considered opinion, or are you simply regurgitating something you heard on Fox News.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span><span class="TextRun SCXW73578177 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW73578177 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">I've heard you complain about "the election fraud" on several occasions, for example.

Trump specializes in making wild and outrageous comments without ever bothering to back them up, which seems to be a conservative trait. That accounts for why most conservatives tend to be anti-intellectual, and why educated people don’t take conservatives seriously. <br />.<br />Logical thought is the enemy of conservative philosophy. For that reason, most conservatives have a hostility towards logical thought and consider it 'elitist'. They're forced to take that opinion because logic is inconsistent with their distorted view of reality. As a direct result, most of conservatives tend to be recklessly inefficient thinkers. They tend to specialize in bitchin’, whining, and conjuring up wild conspiracy theories, and then try to pass them off as facts. <br />.<br />I mean, what kind of twisted thinking does it take to turn the need to wear a mask during a pandemic a civil rights issue? According to the twisted logic of conservatives, they have a RIGHT to go around spreading a deadly disease to others. Just think about that. God placed us here on Earth naked, and I may have a yearning to feel the wind against my balls, but does that give me the RIGHT to walk around nude? No it doesn't. <br />.<br />If conservatives were the least bit logical they'd recognize that we routinely sacrifice individual rights for the benefit of society. Many in society may not want to see my balls, so it becomes necessary for me to sacrifice my desires for the greater good. But conservatives don't understand that, because they tend to be illogical. Much like Donald Trump, they think everything in life should bend to their comfort. That's why they're so dedicated to Trump, because they suffer from the exact same delusions. That's also why it takes people who share their world of delusion to even begin to take them seriously.</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW73578177 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> <br />.<br />Conservatives are like petulant children, always bitchin', moanin', and complainin'. But there's a reason for that. Demographics predict that White people are about to become a minority in America. So now that their numbers will no longer give them an advantage, they no longer have any use for democracy. That makes conservatives dangerous, and the domestic enemy of the American people. Is that you, Howard? I don't think it is. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="TextRun SCXW130389375 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW130389375 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none;">.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="TextRun SCXW130389375 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW130389375 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none;">Yet, THIS is what you claimed I should be shaking in my boots over? REALLY!!!? If this is the best you can do, it's no wonder conservatives feel so threatened by others. Based on what you've written, you have much to be concerned about, because there's a group of Black and Brown young people coming up today who are not gonna tolerate your mindless bullshit for a minute. It's no longer good enough to simply be White to have a leg up in society. In today's world you're gonna have to be knowledgeable, competitive. and bring something of value to the table to prove how <i>special</i> you are. <br />.<br />So as I see it, the flaw in your thinking is you tend to take conservative talking points at face value without giving it any thought, scrutiny, or contemplation. Instead of following truth wherever it leads, you're trying to contort truth into a configuration that conforms to what you want to believe. There's a word for that - delusional. You remind me of the people who drank Lysol because Trump suggested it as a possible cure for Covid-19. You're much too intelligent to embrace that kind of thinking. I don't even believe you're a true conservative. If you were, it would have been impossible for us to become friends. You're a victim of conservatism.</span></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW27600307 BCX8" color="windowtext" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW27600307 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span></span></div></span><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">Now, I don't want to imply that you’re an ignorant man; again, I think you’re very intelligent.

He just had to repay $122.7 million to supporters like yourself that he bilked out of campaign donations.<br />.<br />According to a New York Times report, Trump emailed campaign donation forms to his supporters with a prechecked box that made what they thought was a one-time donation, recurring. So if a supporter thought they were making a one-time donation of a hundred dollars, their credit card was charged a recurring donation of a hundred dollars a week.

And to those who broke the law, you will pay." <br />.<br /><span style="background-color: transparent;">So Trump threw his own followers under the bus - and that's in spite of the fact that he spent weeks riling them into a state of insurrection.

That's why I told you I hated his guts - because he's the kind of person who would throw his mother under the bus to save his own ass.</span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3d92727f-03ce-4d03-9a14-1b858bbd2322}{244}" paraid="794380114" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color: transparent;">.</span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{3d92727f-03ce-4d03-9a14-1b858bbd2322}{244}" paraid="794380114" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">So the fact is, Trump is the one who's defiling American democracy by attacking every democratic institution that doesn't dance to his music. From Trump's point of view, anyone who places the Constitution before "The Donald" is committing an unforgivable act of treachery. That's why he fired former FBI Director Comey, because Comey refused to pledge his allegiance to Trump. Donald has to operate in that manner, because a crime boss can't afford to have people around him that respects the rule of law.</span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW27600307" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{c7173462-3bbb-475e-a4c7-6bf44f9334fe}{2}" paraid="399895504" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">. </span><span class="EOP SCXW27600307 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":2,"335551620":2,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW27600307" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW27600307 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{c7173462-3bbb-475e-a4c7-6bf44f9334fe}{15}" paraid="890265086" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: left; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW27600307 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">In addition, Trump has normalized hatred in order to promote his own self-serving agenda.

Bush for lying us into Iraq and torturing prisoners; and Dick Cheney for outing a CIA agent, we set a precedent that indicates if you’re rich and powerful enough, you’re above the law. <br />.<br />While we like to say that no one is above the law, it's just not true. If it were, Donald Trump would be in jail as we speak, and that’s the source of our current problem - the rich and powerful know they’re free to pursue their self-interests with impunity, and they all tend to be Republicans.</span><span class="EOP SCXW84788275 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span><p></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW84788275" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW84788275 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{2925d897-3e4b-4f93-90d9-6f0ed542a1f9}{184}" paraid="346430169" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW84788275 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; font-family: times; font-size: x-large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW84788275 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{2925d897-3e4b-4f93-90d9-6f0ed542a1f9}{184}" paraid="346430169" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW84788275 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; font-family: times; font-size: x-large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="TextRun SCXW84788275 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; font-family: times; font-size: x-large; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4qxJtgV8zAY/YGCm7oCAPVI/AAAAAAAAKVM/W4vVw9Hdh3osb_ruAhYOOAE5XjARQg6gACLcBGAsYHQ/s900/GOLFING%2BAS%2BTROOPS%2BDIE.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="579" data-original-width="900" height="258" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4qxJtgV8zAY/YGCm7oCAPVI/AAAAAAAAKVM/W4vVw9Hdh3osb_ruAhYOOAE5XjARQg6gACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h258/GOLFING%2BAS%2BTROOPS%2BDIE.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW84788275 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">A Black Georgia legislator was dragged off to jail and charged with two felonies for simply knocking on a door, but with Donald Trump, we’re faced with the most </span><span class="TextRun SCXW84788275 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; font-family: times; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">glaring </span><span class="TextRun SCXW84788275 BCX8" color="windowtext" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; font-family: times; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">case of sedition against the United States in our history.

Politically, we’re as different as the day is long. He’s a devout conservative who thrives on Donald Trump’s every word, and I’m an independent-thinking progressive who’s convinced that Trump is the consummate self-serving idiot. Yet, Howard and I like one another. Probably, because we’re both widowers who miss our late wives desperately, and we’re both musicians – I’ve played sax since I was 12 years old, and he’s trying to get to know the instrument better. We also have an agreement that binds us. We’ve agreed to always feel free to be honest with one another and say what’s on our minds. That way, we can both grow from our knowledge of how the other side thinks – and it works.</span><span class="EOP SCXW163371247 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;

Even as a child, I didn't appreciate being laughed at, and especially being called dumb, because we weren't dumb, we were simply undereducated. But that's when I decided to remedy that, and I set upon my mission to correct that shortcoming. I've been on that mission ever since, and now I'm the one doing the laughing.

Look at the video below of Miles Davis and John Coltrane and learn what I did at 12 years old, not just about music, but about demeanor, excellence, and the importance of taking myself seriously. That’s the key to life - self-esteem, having the common sense to define yourself, and not allowing anyone else to do it for you.

That's true, but music is the most complexed endeavor that man can engage in. Math has only ten numbers, yet, those numbers can be manipulated in an infinite number of ways. But music has twelve notes, so it's even more complexed than math, and any competent jazz musician can manipulate the complexity of those notes off the top of his or her head, and at breakneck speed. That's why jazz is not as popular as many other forms of music, because it's so complexed that the average mind can't keep up with it. <br />.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-78zcxMmb7OE/YF5ewEr-VZI/AAAAAAAAKTc/uRueVVuuVWMpyF9AWarRBJ_pj-P7TUTDwCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/TRUMP%2BCHARACTER.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="924" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-78zcxMmb7OE/YF5ewEr-VZI/AAAAAAAAKTc/uRueVVuuVWMpyF9AWarRBJ_pj-P7TUTDwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/TRUMP%2BCHARACTER.jpg" /></a></div>That's the power of the Black mind, and we can take that power and apply it to math, physics, philosophy, engineering, or anything we choose.

There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to be the next John Coltrane, but little did I know that within weeks I was going to meet a young girl who had her own ideas, and she would change my life forever. <br /></span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">.<br />That young girl's name was Valdie Lavern Whitmore, and she was the niece of one of my mother's best friends, and her uncle was Big Joe Langford, a well known hustler and good friend of my father, who was a well know hustler in his own regard. <br />.<br />But my mother had nothing to do with the street life, and she was no longer with my father. When my father had been arrested many years before and sent away to prison, his friends got together and got her a job as a greeter at Dynamite Jackson's, one of the premier jazz clubs in Los Angeles, and they also financed her going to college to become a nurse. After she graduated she met a young doctor by the name by Morris P. Atkins. Together they started practicing medicine out of a house at first, and and their practice thrived, so they built and they opened the 55th Street Medical Center, and that's where I met Val.<br />.<br />The Clinic became a sort of family affair. Everyone who worked there, from the doctors, nurses, and pharmacist, to the medical technicians, were all good friends or had family connections. They not only worked together, but they socialized together away from work. Val's aunt, Ann Langford, was my mother's good friend, so my mother hired Val at the tender age of 14 years old to send out Christmas cards to the patients. And that was no small feat, because the clinic was adjacent to the Pueblo Del Rio Housing Project, one of the largest projects in Los Angeles, and everybody in it was a patient at one time or another.<br />.<br />My father was my hero. He was a lifelong drug dealer, and many of the hustlers worked for him, so he was looked up to and respected, and that placed me in a very good position as a young street urchin. It paved the way for me to gain entrance into their world at a very early age. But that was a problem for my mother. She was working hard to change my ways, but she had reluctantly accepted the fact that I was just my father's son.<br />.<br />So I used to routinely come into the office and stick her and Doctor Atkins up for money to support my vices. Sometimes she would resist, but Dr. Atkins and the pharmacist, Tatum, was always good for five or ten dollars. But one day when I walked into the office I saw a unfamiliar butt staring out at me as this perfectly endowed lady was bent over into the files. So I cleared my throat to get her attention.<br />.<br />When the lady turned around, I was shocked to see that she had the face of a child, but a very serious child. We introduced ourselves, and while my taste in women ran to women who were two to four years older than myself, I immediately knew that we were, at the very least, going to be very good friends. Because Val has always been the type of person who was very honest in expressing her emotion. So just through looking into her eyes, I could almost feel what she was thinking, and the smile in her eyes made me feel a significance that I had never felt before. But what I didn't know was, when I walked through the door of that office, my life would change forever.</span></span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW12828108 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{5e52dc88-6a9b-4150-95c7-354ed81affb1}{163}" paraid="1018296336" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-family: times; font-size: large; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">.</span></p><p class="Paragraph SCXW12828108 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{5e52dc88-6a9b-4150-95c7-354ed81affb1}{163}" paraid="1018296336" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">I really liked Val, and I was looking forward to getting to know her better. But because she was so young, and a friend of the family, I was only thinking in turns of friendship. I knew that even if I was thinking in romantic terms, our families would go crazy at just the thought of a sweet and innocent girl like Val getting involved with a hood rat like me. But Val obviously saw things differently, because that very same night she gave me a call. I couldn't believe it - and I also couldn't believe how confident and mature she was. By the time we got off the phone it became very clear to me that she was innocent, but she not only had the body of a full grown woman, she had the mind of one as well.

She looks like the spitting image of her great grandmother, my late wife, Val. </span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW12828108 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="LineBreakBlob BlobObject DragDrop SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"><span class="SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;"> </span><br class="SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space: pre;" /></span><span class="TextRun SCXW12828108 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">I’m hoping to live long enough to see what she reveals about the character of our bloodline, and since we strive to make every generation superior to the one that preceded it, I want to live to see what great things she's destined to accomplish. </span><span class="EOP SCXW12828108 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW12828108" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW12828108 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{5e52dc88-6a9b-4150-95c7-354ed81affb1}{170}" paraid="167534297" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW12828108 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">.</span><span class="EOP SCXW12828108 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX8 SCXW12828108" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW12828108 BCX8" lang="EN-US" paraeid="{5e52dc88-6a9b-4150-95c7-354ed81affb1}{177}" paraid="397860573" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span class="TextRun SCXW12828108 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: #050505; font-variant-ligatures: none; line-height: 26.9792px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">We take our babies very seriously.

I wasn’t sure about it at first, because since my wife, Val, died in 2005, I’d become all but a hermit. I went back into the reclusive comfort that I enjoyed prior to her marrying me and dragging me out into the world. Because Val was my complete opposite.

It was hers, and a year and 9 months later, my son's. I wanted to give them the kind of life I'd missed. Because as my mother used to say, I was never a child. She said that she would try to hug and kiss me, and I would squirm out of her arms and act like I wanted to wipe my face. I loved my mother passionately, but I was never comfortable with overt displays of affection - until now. <br />.<br />Me, Val and the kids became like four road dawgs, and I just loved </span><span class="NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2 SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;base64,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"); background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: repeat-x; border-bottom: 1px solid transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">hangin</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW12828108 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;">’ out and doing everything with them – from running the street and going to the mall, the Marina, the beach, and the show, to playing video games at home.

The entire world watched as George Floyd was not only murdered, but tortured to death as he begged for mercy in living color, yet you've allowed yourself to be trotted out to claim that the murderer was the victim of “mob justice, absent any facts!!!?” <br />.<br />What evidence do you have of that ridiculous statement? Didn’t you see the video, hear the testimony of the other police officers, the medical pathologists, and even the Chief of Police? What more facts do you need!!!? Chauvin is getting off light.

If many of us had to depend on our fathers for our survival, a large number of us would have long since starved to death. Your perception of Black dysfunction has been forged by the White media. The corporate media uses the most dysfunctional 10% of Black people as a model to portray the entire Black community. If White folks were portrayed as inaccurately as Black people, we'd think all White folks were barefoot Hillbillies.</span></span></div><div><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><span style="color: black;">.<br />So while some, like yourself, may want to attribute Black dysfunction to Black women, I think the majority of us credit Black women with enabling the Black culture to survive - and prosper - IN SPITE of the atrocious conditions that has been forced upon us. So I'd say your view on this issue has been corrupted by the media, is grossly slanted, and overly simplistic, just like the views of many in the White community.
