BORN DAY ANNIVERSARY...POPPA DOC

Peace/Blessings, 

When you say One's name, they continue 2 Live...

When you see me, you see The/My Father...

 The Seeds of Justice were planted early in me... 

 At age 11, while my Father was stationed in Germany,  There was a Racial incident involving the Base Commander's young son & the enlisted dependents' children (which I was one).  

While we were all playing together, The Commander's son called a black child N*gger...

 This was 1974...

During those times, the Officers/Officers'  children didn't regularly, socially, fraternize with the Enlisted Soldiers/Dependents...Our base was different due to the athletic successes that our Youth Sports' Teams achieved in Basketball & Football...

We won Multiple European Championships among the Bases in Europe...

This gave the Base Commander bragging rights...Additionally, his Daughter was a star cheerleader...

Lastly, at the time of the incident, my Football team had just won the European 'Chip in Football, where I was the Star Running Back...

I Digress...

Subsequently, a meeting was held on the Base with all of the involved Families....

During the meeting, The Commander stated that he didn't know where his son learned this for some of his (the Commander's)  friends were Black...

My Father looked directly at the Commander and stated,  "Sir, that is a Racist Statement."...

 That shut the meeting down... 

No,  my Father did not face any retribution...

No Fear...

Mind you,  my Father was a Vietnam Veteran and had earned the Bronze Star & Purple Heart medals in Combat...

 He saw & faced Death...

My Father educated me & would tell me that We/You are not like them...You're Unique...

& Always treat everyone with respect...

On his Last Breath, before transitioning with the Ancestors,  he looked at me & said,  "Son, Always Do your Best. "

I AM the Son of Jimmie...

Happy Born Day Anniversary Poppa Doc...

I Love You!

SEPARATION...ANCESTRAL FORM

 Peace/Blessings, 

The Greatness of our Ancestors was the ability to read Electromagnetic Energy...Vibrations of self/others/Universe...Hence, the U-n-I-Verse...

To subscribe to the false construct of Race as One's Foundation to separate, will leave said individual in the SAME Psychosis as those who created it & dem who currently subscribe...

POST... WORK

 Peace/Blessings,

I've Watched & Listened 2 quite a few post election talk regarding what Black people  & the Greater Community should do...

I've heard that Black People should leave the Democratic Party & join another party...

What I heard is that White people can not be trusted & that they will ALWAYS stick together.

PARDON...

I'm looking at the stats & ALL White people did/do not support Mr. Trump & there were SOME Black People who VOTED 4 Mr. Trump...

(YES,  Racism & Sex-ism Do exist... MORE than 2 things may be true at the same time...)

What I heard was the suggesting 4 Black people 2 leave one Pimp & join another Pimp...

WHAT I DIDN'T HEAR

Was the call 4 Black people 2 become EDUCATED in Politics...& That as long as One lives in this Country (as well as most countries), One can not escape it... 

(This is also true 4 the Greater Community) 

INCLUSIVE

Of sitting OUT of Elections...

What I didn't hear was the Call 4 ALL 2 read The Art of War,  by Sun Tzu... For Yes,  This is a War...

OR

2 Learn 2 become Critical Thinkers & 2 Create a Self relating paradigm that serves Self,  Family & Community...

To start playing POLITICAL Chess & NOT Checkers...& Get out of One's Feelings...

ONE loses when distracted with PERSONALITIES  versus Factual Track Records...

What I didn't hear is how Elections determine  resource distribution on the State & Local levels...Taxes, School Districts, Infrastructure,  Local/State Commerce , Law Officials, Employment,  etc...

What I didn't hear is that NO PARTY is suppose 2 GIVE One ANYTHING... The CONSTITUENTS are 2 Demand  by collectively forming Locally... Becoming a FORCE on the State Level & PARTNERING With the Political parties on the Federal Level...

NOT BITCHING  in hopes that someone will FINALLY give One something...

THERE'S A REASON there are some groups (Ethnic & Otherwise) that DO receive their demands... THEY'VE implemented the aforementioned...

THEY'VE put in the WORK that benefit the collective, not just a few...Hotep 

THE SEPARATION...

Peace/Blessings,

There are those who are in celebration today, not knowing or caring that they have planted the seeds for their own demise...

They have chosen to allow their Racist Ideology, Gender Bias & Self Hate to cloud their 3rd Eye...& transform themselves into the Walking Dead...

They have chosen to follow their Christ into an abyss which many will not be able to recover...

This is the time for the rest of us to lean into our Spirituality to guide us in navigating this challenge...

For my Brethren, we are the descendants of the survivors of the Middle Passage & Chattel Slavery...Dem not Like Us ... Lean into the U-n-I-Verse & commune with the Essence & Ancestors for our Strength/Endurance/Salvation...

I wrote the below song after the 2020 election...Aspects of it is still applicable today...

U.S. CIVICS 101

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-campaign-distances-house-speakers-plan-massive-reform/story?id=115313086

Peace/Blessings,

U.S. Civics 101...

Regarding the U.S. Federal Government's hierarchy of the offices of power, they are as follows:

1. President
2. Vice President
3. Speaker of the House

Yesterday, Speaker of the House, Mr. Johnson, made statements regarding the Affordable Car Act (Obamacare)...In short, he advised that if Mr. Trump wins this election, there would be 'Massive Reform'...

Mr. Trump's campaign is trying to distance themselves from Mr. Johnson's statements, but it's ALREADY well documented that Mr. Trump is a LIAR of epic portion...

Currently, more Americans have Healthcare than in any other time in recent history...This is very significant...This helps to keep medical costs down...If Mr. Trump wins,

MILLIONS

of Americans will have their Healthcare taken from them...This is how that action would affect those of us not in the ACA...

Those kicked off the ACA, when they need medical care, instead of going to their primary care physician, would go to the emergency room of a hospital...Upon being treated, they would receive a bill that they WILL NOT be able to pay...The hospital's insurance will pay the bill...

THAT COST WILL BE PASSED ON TO YOU AND ME...

Lastly,

Mr. Johnson spoke of reforming of the 'Regulatory State'...For those who have Federal employment, this would mean taking your employment and moving it to rural areas...Creating the opportunity of those primarily in Republican governed states to fill those positions...

THIS IS PROJECT 2025

You may not like VP Harris or Mr. Trump...Respect...

VOTE 4

Healthcare, Protection of Reproductive Rights, Education, the Economy (VP Harris' plan is better...Google and see the review from financial experts) & Crime (Violent Crime, inclusive of Hate Crimes) where higher under Mr. Trump's term (See FBI reports)...

For my 'Black' Brethren, HATE CRIMES were HIGHEST against us...

ALSO MAKE SURE YOU VOTE DOWN THE BALLOT

You don't have to believe anything that I just relayed...

F 'round and Find Out...Hotep

DEFIANT GIANTS!...

 Peace/Blessings, 

My Brotha Maurice Mander would periodically tell me that being a Male is a biological fact, but Manhood is Learned Behavior...

When I was at Howard University,  I was a member of the 1st Hiphop Group Originating from the University...The Defiant Giants...

Defiant- 

Smashing ALL Negative Stereotypes attributed to the so called Black Man... Simultaneously Manifesting the Essence of the Creator's Energy...

Giants-

The 1st Individuals on the planet were described as Giants... As Descendants, We are the Embodiment of said Individuals...

We released a single called 'Rise Blackman Rise'... This song received Critical Acclaim & we received an award for it... We were the 1st Hiphop Group to use 1960's Civil Rights footage in a video. 

As Blackmen are being called into question this political cycle,  One should know the DIFFERENCE between Males & Men...

BLACKMEN don't necessarily seek to bring attention by being the LOUDEST...

WE use our ENERGY to Provide,  Defend & Protect Self,  Family & Community... In Short, we PROTECT & SUPPORT our Women from ALL Enemies,  Foreign & Domestic (Within and Outside our Community)... This is the Blackman's Creed...

WE are the Seed Givers 2 Humanity...

DEFIANT GIANTS

In the Freestyle video that I released last week, I wore a Hoodie in recognition of our  single...I've received numerous inquires about the Hoodie...

Here is the link:

THEY CAME...

They came after Democracy, I said nothing because I was involved in a LeBron and Jordan debate

They came after Reproductive rights, I said nothing because I'm a Man  

They came after the LGBTQ+ Community, I said nothing because I'm Heterosexual

They came after the Haitian Community, I said nothing because I'm African American  

They came after Me and there was no one left to speak for me...

MAKE AMERICA...

 Peace/Blessings, 

GREATNESS 

is achieved when the past is properly analyzed, the lessons are incorporated in the 

PRESENT

to manifest in the CURRENT & FUTURE...

Make America Great Again 

Speaks to a slogan of America being Great in the past...

Let's examine...

- Genocide of the Indigenous People

- The Atrocities of Africans thru Chattel Slavery,  Jim Crow & continued Racism 

-Racism against other people of Color

- Oppression of Women, the Working Class & the aforementioned Groups 

A critical analysis would reveal that America was not GREAT...Actually...

WEAK

inclusive of those who OPPRESS 

GREATNESS is achieved when EVERYONE has the opportunity to MAXIMIZE their abilities without being OPPRESSED in any manner...

That can ONLY be achieved by...

TURNING THE PAGE FORWARD...

Embracing the Uniqueness of ALL

Then we may say TRUTHFULLY

America is Great, Symbolic of the mythical Phoenix RISING from the ashes of it's past... Hotep

SIGHT BEYOND SIGHT...

 Peace/Blessings,

Things that make Ya Say Hmmm...

Per my American History classes...

AMERICA

-The indigenous inhabitants of this country are the Native Americans...

_________________________________________

- The Anglo Pilgrims (Europeans) were kicked out, PARDON, left Europe to escape persecution...

-Chattel Slavery forcibly brought the vast majority of Africans (so called Blacks) to this land...

- The Chinese, Irish, Jewish, Italians & other groups came to this country under various circumstances...

- Immigrants are entering the country through our Southern BORDER, under various circumstances...

EACH of the aforementioned groups have been NEGATIVELY targeted & had LIES told on them, at their expense...

_____________________________________

-According to the Department of Homeland Security, nearly Half a Million Ukrainian Refugees/ Immigrants have entered this country, as of December 2023...

USING THE AMERICANS GOOD, IMMIGRANTS BAD formula....

How many of these people are Murders, Rapists, Criminals, released from Asylums or better yet, RUSSIAN spies, posing as Ukranian citizens? 

Nah, that COULDN'T be the case for provisions were made to QUICKLY make them LEGAL...

PLUS, the Media, Mr. Trump and other politicians would have alerted us Already, RIGHT?  

They would have told us if they were involved in abductions and eating of our pets, RIGHT? 

They would have told us if they were taking BLACK & BROWN jobs, RIGHT? 

________________________________________

- According to statisa.com, between 1820 to 1957, over 34 Million Immigrants came from Europe...To this country, for various reasons...

_______________________________________

The original inhabitants of this country are the NATIVE AMERICANS...Hotep...

THE ART...LET'S DEBATE...

Peace/Blessings,

On January 22, 1973, George Foreman fought Joe Frazier...Mr. Foreman, destroyed Mr. Frazier in that fight...In less than two rounds (5 minutes, 26 seconds), Mr. Foreman knocked down Mr. Frazier 6 times before the fight was stopped...Resulting in Mr. Foreman taking the Heavyweight Belt from Mr. Frazier...

Last night, VP Harris 'Molly Whopped' Mr. Trump in their Presidential Debate...Her, Jabs, Hooks, Straight Rights, Upper Cuts and Body Shots all connected on Mr. Trump...

VP Harris conducted a Master Class on the Art of Debating...For those who watched, she perfectly utilized the Art of War against Mr. Trump (She won the Debate before it started)...

The Legend Bruce Lee once said in one of his movies (paraphrasing), Never underestimate your opponent...It's reported that Mr. Trump made disparaging comments about VP Harris' intelligence prior to the Debate...

Prior to the start, she walked over to Mr. Trump, extended her hand, looked him in the face and said her name...He was taken off his square...The Debate was over before it started...

From the Handshake, she kept him on the Defense...During the first question, VP Harris, laid out exactly Mr. Trump's tactics while presenting her theme of unity and moving forward together, due to having more in common than what separates us, as Americans...

VP Harris, did this while weaving in answers to the questions, presenting her plans and staying calm/focused...Additionally, she baited Mr. Trump, attacking his ego, which he willingly walked into the traps...She took his perceived strengths of being unorthodox (debating wise), name calling/lying and turned that energy against him...

Also, she didn't fall into the trap of throwing President Biden under the bus while presenting her vision...She also did a great job answering the question on the Economy...

______________________________________________________________

Many of us are hurting due to the HIGH cost of goods/services today...& if Mr. Trump was on his game, he should have pressed her on this...

Administrations are not run in a vacuum...They are

following a previous Administration...

Mr. Trump's Administration inherited a surplus from the Obama Administration...He didn't create a great US Economy, as he claims...Additionally, he was given a manual on how to address Infectious diseases from the Obama Administration, which he did not use...As I've posted, Mr. Trump, during his 1st term INCREASED the US Debt to the 3rd HIGHEST IN our History (2018 Tax Cuts, mostly and the Pandemic- in his last 9 months in office)...

Upon him leaving office, INFLATION was HIGH...Thus, as VP Harris explained last night, the Biden/Harris Administration has been spending their term in office cleaning up Mr. Trump's mess...To the point where inflation is down, for example...

THE PROBLEM is that some companies are PRICE GAUGING which is causing the high prices...Also, regarding the housing market, the demand for housing is more than the inventory available, thus high prices...Economics 101...

She then watched him implode on the stage...

______________________________________________________________

A PSA

I would be remiss if I didn't address the purpose of these Debates...

The critics or undecided voters are stating that the candidates didn't give details or more details of their plans...

In 2016, Mr. Trump successfully changed the dynamics of Presidential debates to where it was no longer about substance, it was about appearance...Who looked MORE Presidential...

Understanding this, VP Harris used his playbook against him...She looked more Presidential than him last night...

Lastly, I submit to everyone...Keep in mind that each candidate is TIMED...One CAN NOT give the DETAILS of their plans within the time allotted...They can ONLY summarize or introduce their plans...

THIS IS THE REASON THAT WE SHOULD DO OUR OWN RESEARCH PRIOR TO WATCHING THESE AND OTHER CANDIDATES...

This way one would have the answers prior...We, as constituents, need to stop being LAZY...

With those parameters, VP Harris navigated the Debate with great management...Hotep

THE WALK...

LET'S TAKE A WALK...

-There are more registered Democrat than Republican voters...

-The GOP win elections when Democrat voters are either suppressed or don't vote...

-Wouldn't a 3rd party be more affective if they started their candidates' campaigning on November 4, 2020 (for this election cycle)?

ADDITIONALLY

-When was the last time a political 3rd party was an offshoot of the GOP to siphon votes from the Republicans?

-For my Revolutionary thinkers who are supporting a 'Black Agenda', inclusive of Reparations, if you don't vote, vote for Mr. Trump or vote for the Brilliant Dr. West, you do know that the agenda must go through government, yes?

(Unless a Bank/Financial Institution will make Reparation payments)

The other non Reparation demands would need to go through the government...I would also suggest including the Reparation demand along with the others, but I digress.

-How will the Black Agenda movement be benefitted if the Executive and the Legislative Branches of the Federal Government are controlled by the GOP? A GOP that is White Supremacist leaning and poised to implement Project 2025...

(SOCTUS is already controlled by the GOP due to people falling for the 'Banana in the tailpipe' and not voting for Mrs. Clinton...Not Understanding that the 2016 Election Cycle was about Federal Judges...Smh...)

Least not I forget to mention the potential of multiple states being controlled by GOP Governors and State/Local officials...

-In essence, how are you for the people when you are working against them? Apologies, if I'm incorrect...

-I'm all in on the Destination for the Justice owed to our people for our experience in this country...The strategy, though, is I'll fated... Again, apologies if I've missed a successful strategy...

-For conversation sake, let's say Dr. West was to somehow win the Presidential Election, he would not have the Legislative Branch (US Senate & US House of Representatives)...You do realize that he would not be able to get the majority, if any, of his agenda passed, yes? He would not be able to use Executive orders for everything...

-We need to elevate from playing Checkers to Chess...Actually, 8 Dimensional Chess...

In a War, there are many Battles...The object is not to Win every Battle, it's not to Lose...Sun Tzu

BALANCED...ANALYSIS

 Peace/Blessings,

No one is above critical examination...

The examination should be objective, balanced and complete & if the examination is comparing individuals, it should also be objective, balanced and complete...

Like the Jordan/LeBron debates, this political cycle, with Mr. Trump and VP Harris, has brought out a lot of emotion, hate, shade, misleading information, lies and facts...

On my wall, I've seen posts regarding how the political system has not delivered for African/Black people in this country...Yet, it has delivered for other groups...

I've seen the comments about lesser of two evils...

I've posted that there are 3 levels of government Federal/State/Local and that in order to receive for the Black Community, we must be engaged in ALL 3 levels...NOT only focusing on the Federal...& NOT less than 100 days prior to the election...

Yet, I continue to see very eloquent and skillfully drafted commentary about how VP Harris will not do for the Black Community, such as Mr. Obama did not do for the Black Community...Although I posted that...

The people are to make the politicians work for them...

This is done through the process of creating a VOTING BLOCK from the Local (creating an Agenda) through the State that then is presented as a DEMAND for our support on the Federal Level...This is NOT  done or feasible less then 100 Days prior to election...

Yes, WE should be VERY critical of VP Harris...As well As Mr. Trump... His behavior should not be normalized to where he gets a pass... 

We should ALSO be balanced with our ANALYSIS and commentary...

___________________________________________________________

I've been blessed to work in Federal Govt while I was a student at Howard University...I worked for the Head Attorney of the Naval Supply Systems' Command...This Attorney mentored me on the inner workings of the Federal Govt...He reinforced this mentoring by sending me on assignment to the Pentagon and Capitol Hill...He took me to sessions on Capitol Hill and He had me study Congressional Bills - House/Senate...

___________________________________________________________

I worked 35 1/2 years for the NJ Attorney General's Office...My agency regulated the Casinos in Atlantic City...We conducted investigations of applicants for their suitability of obtaining a casino license...The investigations (especially for those applicant's with a lot of assets), were more involved than an IRS audit)...These investigations were based upon the Casino Control Act...Examining the applicant's Integrity, Character, etc...

One of those applicants was Mr. Trump...He was investigated, multiple times...

When I speak about him regarding skill set and stating that it does not translate well to our Federal Govt, I'm not speaking from Opinion, Emotion or a Dislike for him...This is ACTUAL FACTS...His first Term bore this out...

I credit Mr. Trump for exposing the flaws within our Government, taking advantage of them and REVEALING how UNEDUCATED/ APATHETIC 2 many of the masses of our people are, regarding Politics...

& Yes, Project 2025 is real...& if implemented would not be good for the country that is comprised of a diversity of ideologies/cultures...I don't work off emotions...This is Factual...Research for yourself...

What potentially could make our country great is the balance of Progressive and Conservative ideologies...This Project would institute an unbalanced ultra conservative paradigm...

Be Blessed and Informed...

Hotep..

TOOLS...

 Peace/Blessings,

VOTING is 1 tool that is used to accomplish results...It is NOT a Magic Wand 2 deliver people 2 a Magical Land/Place of Salvation...

If VOTING did not matter, then there would not be continuous/concerted efforts to take people's right 2 vote & suppress the vote...2 remove people from voting rosters...2 Gerrymander 2 create/maintain power...

It is not lost on me that this country was founded upon Systemic Racism, inclusive of Class-ism and Sex-ism...Understanding this, it would be foolish of me to get upset when said Systemic Racist country does not, out of kindness, specifically create and deliver policies that benefit Black people, given our history of Chattel Slavery...

It would be MORE FOOLISH to not utilize the tools available to create a better life for my Community/Family/Self since, I'm living in said country...

In order to utilize the tools affectively, one must have an understanding of the landscape...In this case Federal/State/Local...If One is not actively engaged in ALL 3 Levels of Govt, they have ALREADY lost...Those who have benefitted from the understanding of all 3 Levels of Govt have utilized their tools affectively...& received what they've demanded...

As I've posted before, either VP Harris or Mr. Trump will be the next President of this country...I invite everyone to research both candidates to make an informed decision...

Research will help you see through the misinformation...

President Biden set VP Harris up to succeed him...Thus, she was involved in the success of President Biden's term...

Here are some reasons that VP Harris is the better candidate of the two...

-2021 American Rescue Plan Act
-2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
-2021 John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act
(Being held up by the GOP in the House)
-2022 Emmett Till Antilynching Act

Additionally

-More people have Health Insurance
-Insulin is capped at $35
-Medicare is capped at $2,000
-The debt increase is LESS than TWICE the amount of the previous Administration
-Crime is down
-Provided over $6 Billion of funding to HBCUs versus $91 million by the previous Administration
-Employment is up under this Administration
(Strong Economy...According to Forbes, 'The Biden Administration's robust and durable track record on jobs and unemployment is breaking records, putting up some of the best results we've seen half a century') -June 7, 2024 Article

Please, do not take my word, research for yourself...

I'll end with this...During Mrs. Obama's speech, she used the phrase "Do Something!" ...Pertaining to those who, for various reasons, are not engaged in the political process...

The power of Politics is Local...

I've asked others the following...

-How many City Council/Municipal, School Board, Parent Organization (School) meetings have they've attended?

-How many meetings have they've had with their District's School Superintendent?

-How many Local organizations do they belong to?

-Have you volunteered for local events?

-How many committees have you served to improve the lives of the babies/community?

-Have you met with and/or communicated with your Federal/State/Local Representatives?

I ask for I've been educated to do and have done all of the above...& this effort has yielded beneficial results in my community...

Remember, how can we progress if we are not utilizing ALL of the available tools...Hotep

JUST SAYING...

 Things that make Ya Say Hmmm...

Although Mr. O'donnell is speaking about Mr. Trump, the reason I'm posting this is that it's not really about Mr. Trump...

It's about US... the Citizens of this country...

It's about how the now corporate media continues to insult us by not holding public figures, specifically those who choose to govern,  accountable for lying to us...

& THAT'S ON US...

To the point that when I'm in discussion with people, be it online or in person, too many of the people repeat the lies/misinformation back to me...

Just like the now corporate media does not find value in truth (for the money is in the culture of being divisive), too many people do not find value in researching to be in Harmony with truth...

& 

When corrected,  many follow the formula of disrespect  & denigrating of others.. 

Which is lazy & weak...

Wise people accept correction, Fools do not...

Have we, US Citizens , learned from 2016?

If we did,  we would be demanding truth regarding Labor,  Law,  Economics, Entertainment, Education, Sex, War, Religion,  Politics...

WE would be DEMANDING that CIVICS be put back in schools...

I WOULD advocate that it be mandatory that ALL Adults have to take a workshop on how our government works,  Federal/State/Local...

What is a Democracy?  What is Capitalism? Is this country solely a democracy?  What other aspects of governing does our country display? 

What are the 3 branches of our Federal Government?  Is your state a Commonwealth?  What's the difference?  How to form & build a voting block? 

Instead of...

Is VP Harris really Black?  

Did you hear the latest insult Mr. Trump just said? 

The sad thing is that we can easily fact check & research with our smart phones (they are hand held computers)... Laziness

Then when it's reported that VP Harris' political career advanced due to locking up thousands of Black men,  we would know that is incorrect... The number is 45 & we would know that she was a Prosecutor...& know the job description...

We would know that she was NOT the Border Czar, another lie...We would know  the responsibilities of a Border Czar...We would know what VP Harris did in Central America...We would  know that she spent more time in the continent of Africa, on official state business, than any VP in US History...

ALSO...

Instead of being upset that Mr. Trump appointed multiple judges to SCOTUS who are now taking away rights, we would have been EDUCATED enough to know that the 2016 Presidential election was NOT about Mrs. Clinton, it was about appointing SCOTUS & other Federal judges...

I'm just saying...

THE FALL...

 Civilizations... Great Civilizations...

Are comprised of individuals (the people)...

When Great Civilizations fall, they 1st do so from Within, thus allowing enemies 2 physically invade & conquer them...

THE FALL

When the Individual, the Family,  the Community,  the Country PLACES Might OVER Right, the FALL will follow...

Being Silent during this process means that 1 is COMPLICIT...

NO CIVILIZATION (COUNTRY) has lasted,  much less flourished when MIGHT is placed over RIGHT...

This formula is NOT sustainable...

This Country was founded on this FAILED formula...HISTORY gives us many... THAT'S right,  this Country has suppressed HISTORY due 2 it possibly HURTING feelings...

WE ARE

At another infection point as a Country...We have an opportunity as individuals, families, communities, Country 2 select the sustainable formula of

RIGHT 

(Unity with others while EMBRACING the best in each of us, along with WANTING the best 4 your fellow citizen & self, etc.) 

Over

MIGHT 

(Which will hasten our demise & ENDING as a Country)...See Roman Empire, as an example...

For the Intellectually Naive...

This does not mean do not have the ability to protect ourselves...

It means not using (valuing) MIGHT 2 suppress/oppress others...

THIS coming election is not JUST about Vice President Harris & Mr. Trump, it's also about ALL of our other politicians...

Additionally & MORE importantly,  it's about US the people...It's about us holding ALL of the politicians accountable & making them work 4 our COMMON good...

Within THIS election cycle, look at which candidate (& their party) currently represents inclusion 4 all of it's citizens (RIGHT) versus benefits 4 just some, while opressing others (MIGHT) ...

BANANA IN THE TAIL PIPE

 Things that make Ya Say Hmmm...

Since the Presidential Debate, there's been the cry 4 President Biden 2 step down...

2 support this cry, polls have been referenced, yet, I don't know anyone who has been polled...

How many of you have been polled? 

I've watched the debate, recorded & studied it...

This was not the President's best... He appeared 2 be sick & his energy was low... Additionally, within the first 5 minutes, along with the moment he froze, he looked terrible...

YET

On substance, he destroyed Mr. Trump...

MY POINT

Is it really about his performance & age that is driving the cry 4 him 2 step down?  Mr. Trump is 3 years younger & has public mental lapses...Repeatedly saying Nicki Haley instead of Nancy Pelosi 4 example...

Additionally, he had over 30 false statements versus 9 for President Biden during the debate...

Is it because the Biden Administration has failed?  No...See the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, The Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act of 2024, the Emmett Till Anti Lynching Act of 2022 for example..

There's cries that we fared better under Mr. Trump's Administration...No,

He increased the National debt to become the 3rd highest in US History, in which it was reported that he was well on the way prior 2 the COVID pandemic 

(REMEMBER he was in his LAST year in office when COVID shutdown our country) ...

Additionally, his mishandling of the Pandemic caused unnecessary death within our country...

Lastly, his presidency emboldened white supremacists/nationals ...

I submit that the cry 4 President Biden 2 step down is about VP Harris...

President Biden can beat Mr. Trump again... The FEAR is if he wins, he then would step down & VP Harris would become president....

Additionally, this Administration wants the wealthy 2 pay their just portion of taxes, strengthen working class people (Unions),   continue 2 give access 2 quality education & Protect everyone's civil rights....

The People/Entities that would be affected the most are the ONES crying the LOUDEST 4 him 2 step down...

DON'T Fall 4 the Banana in the Tail Pipe 

Hotep 

RESILIENCE...IN SPITE OF...

Peace/Blessings,

Education is important...

Through education, one has the opportunity to gain Understanding, which comes after Knowledge (Data/Information) and Wisdom (Discernment of the Data/Information)...

A pillar of Western Civilization is that African People were rescued from themselves when enslaved...& truly do not have the ability to uplift and sustain themselves without the guidance of the European...

There has always been a concerted effort to suppress history, which has been intensified...This is currently manifested in the banning of books and any information that would make people feel bad about themselves...

 -People who choose to suppress truth, ALREADY feel bad about themselves...   

 -People who choose to oppress others, ALREADY feel bad about themselves...                                                                            

Knowledge is not power (in and of itself)...It's a part of the puzzle that leads to power...It's a part of one's foundation that leads to power...                                                                                                                         

Africans have always manifested our resilience in the mist of the most harsh conditions in the United States of America...

We have always found a way to thrive during the mist of the rules being changed once we achieved...                                                                                                                            

We find a way to tap into our Ancestral DNA for guidance...                

This is the reason there are those who DO NOT want Africans to know who we are, what we  have achieved, what has been done against us and what is owed to us...Hotep

THE 4TH... FREEDOM

 Peace/Blessings, 

"...If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its mighty waters.

The struggle may be a moral one or it may be a physical one, or it may both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will. 

Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress..." 

Fredrick Douglass

STOP looking for SOMEONE 2 save YOU...

There is NO mystery GOD in the sky that will Swoop down to SAVE You...

The GOD energy is Within YOU...RE-CONNECT & Manifest your FREEDOM...

GO BACK & RE-READ THE ABOVE PASSAGE & PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION 2 THE LAST PARAGRAPH...

COMMENTARY - SUPREME COURT IMMUNITY RULING - RAMIFICATIONS

Peace/Blessings,

ITS THE DUTY OF A CIVILIZED MAN TO TEACH...EDUCATE...

Today the Supreme Court ruled that Mr. Trump was immune from any actions that he enacted as President...& OR will be if reelected as President

HISTORICALLY...

Under Republican Presidents Bush (the 1st), Bush (the 2nd) and Trump, when they left office, they left America in tremendous debt...

CONVERSELY

Under Democratic Presidents Clinton and Obama, when they left office, they did so leaving their Republican successors with a SURPLUS...Mr. Biden is on track to CLEANING up Mr. Trump's tenure in office...(SEE BELOW)

TRUMP

Under Mr. Trump, the National Debt rose by $7.8 Trillion (THIS WAS HAPPENING PRE-COVID)...He was dubbed the 'King of Debt'...This is nearly twice the debt that President Biden has created so far...

https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump

So NO Mr. Trump was not good for the economy and NO we were not better off...

The above would be consistent actions of a person who has had 6 Bankruptcies...

UNDER Mr. Trump, Hate Crimes rose exponentially...ESPECIALLY against 'Black' people.. (Research FBI report)

IF RE-ELECTED

It is documented that if Mr. Trump is reelected, the following WILL take place...SOME ARE ALREADY TAKING PLACE (influenced by Mr. Trump -(Supreme Court), legislators and organizations that support Mr. Trump...

-Women's Reproductive Rights Reversal (Roe v. Wade)

(Having Legislators (State) be the decision makers versus a Woman and her Physician)...WHO PROTECTS WOMEN FROM THE STATES?

-Project 2025...

-Dismantling of the Dept. of Education

-Civil Rights protections

-Employment Protections

(SPECIFICALLY, IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR/WOMAN/PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED, etc., THE PROTECTIONS THAT YOU CURRENTLY ENJOY, WILL SYSTEMATICALLY BE ERODED)-Included would also be just recognition for Promotions/Advancement/Equal Pay for same job responsibilities

-Attack of the FEARLESS FUND (Investment in women of color lead businesses)

-Elimination of Academic Scholarships marked for Minorites (ALREADY HAPPENING)

The stage is being set to have Mr. Trump become a DICTATOR (See Immunity ruling)...

BIDEN

I've been asked what has President Biden done in office? I've been told that his time in office has been trash...I've been told that he should have been been seen more and that he is just too old...

THIS ELECTION is NOT just about the Presidency...It's also about JUDGES and LEGISLATORS (Federal/State/Local)...It's about our Families/Communities

WITH THE ABOVE INFORMATION, IF ONE IS STILL INCLINED TO VOTE FOR MR. TRUMP OR NOT VOTE AT ALL, YOU HAVE TOLD ME THAT YOU DO NOT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY (See Hate Crimes) and that CONSCIOUSLY/SUBCONSCIOUSLY) that you do not care for POSITIVE growth of this COUNTRY...

ADDITIONALLY, you are SAYING THAT YOU ARE READY TO GIVE UP THE liberties that you've enjoyed & COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN...

It's a duty of a CIVILIZED man to Teach/Educate...Hotep

JUNETEENTH 2024

Peace/Blessings,

JUNETEENTH

No One can give you freedom...No One freed Americanized Africans...Our freedom was earned and acquired by the acts of countless people, most notably Americanized Africans...If one can give a person freedom, they can take it back...

Abraham Lincoln formalized that which was already energy in motion...

WHAT Constructive Acts of Freedom are we doing to maintain and grow our Freedom?

I am continuing to Spiritually, Mentally and Physically educate myself in harmony with the U-n-I-Verse in conjunction with our ancestors...& Educate the Babies (& those who are young in the spirit) in the knowledge of self...

OPAL LEE

Ms. Lee is considered the Grandmother of Juneteenth...When she was 12 years old, a mob of 'White' people came to her parents' home, forced the family outside, trashed their belongings and burned the home to the ground...

As we defend those around the World against Terrorism, enough is not being done to addressed the 'Domestic' Terrorism that Americanized Africans have to endured...

CONTEXT- 

H.R. 4- John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021 - There has been 2 roll call votes - Passed the House, not enough votes in the Senate...Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema opposed the act...

The terrorism that not only comes physically, but also Economically, Educationally, within Entertainment, Politically, in Labor, Law, Religion, Sex & War...

On this day, learn about Ms. Opal Lee, who is still alive at 97 years old...Hotep

TUSKEEGEE AIRMEN

 Peace/Blessings, 

The only limits are that which we place upon self...

A few moons ago one of my Defiant Brothas   interviewed some surviving Tuskeegee Airmen...

These men fought in World War II under extreme Racism...

Their abilities/service garnered them many decorations and a military record that has not been duplicated...

Their missions were to be flying escorts of US bomber planes into enemy terroritories... 

Their record....Every plane that they escorted ALWAYS made it back safely....Even at the expense of losing their own lives...

They had a motto, which I'll ALWAYS remember...Tapping into the ancestors...

"IF IT'S DIFFICULT, DO IT IMMEDIATELY...

IF IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, JUST TAKE A LITTLE TIME."

I tell my students that the IMPOSSIBLE is just something you haven't physically seen...YET...

EVOLUTION 2024

 Peace/Blessings,

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, among the multiple definitions, I will use the following 2 for

Evolution...

1. : a process of continuous change from a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better state : GROWTH

2.: a process of gradual and relatively peaceful social, political, and economic advance

In order to properly analyze if we have evolved as humans, we must include all of the civilizations that preceeded us.  

Not just the ones that fit the narrative supporting our current ideology.

For example, 

-Have we evolved in medicine beyond Imhotep and the Kemetic medicine/science?

- Have we evolved beyond the science/mathematics of the ancient African Pyramid builders in which we still can't explain how the Great Pyramid of Giza was built? 

-Have we evolved beyond the astrological knowledge/science of the Dogon people who understood the connection between the Universe and themselves? 

- Have we evolved when we are divided over skin pigmentation, gender and class?  When we can justify murder on the Local, Country & Global levels and not provide/implement solutions to stop the killing. 

A: Selling poison to eachother by drugs, verbally or imagery (Can't knock the hustle...right? )

B: Senseless killing for land, political or religious ideologies. 

C: Oppression/Suppression of others due to One's own inadequacies.

To claim evolved status,  proper analysis MUST be conducted. 

As a guide,  EDUCATION must be the priority... Starting with Knowledge of self, within or in Harmony with the Universal Self...

VOTING ...POLITICS

If voting was/is not important...If one's vote doesn't matter, than what's the reason millions of dollars & effort are spent to obstruct, suppress & discourage people from voting? 

It is not enough 2 just vote...What action are you doing 2 hold the politicians accountable? 

Local, State & Federal...

There are 9 major people activities...

Education, Economics, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Religion, Politics, Sex & War...

We are affected by them regardless of one's apathy/ignorance/understanding...We are participants regardless of action or inaction...

Politics are at least, two part, in nature...Politicians are elected & They should be held accountable by the people...

Those who have this understanding, are the ones who have their needs met.. 

NO the Democratic & Republican parties are not the same...Do the knowledge, manifest discernment & gain Understanding...

School boards/districts/schools, education material, Judges, policing, medical benefits/facilities,  women's rights to control their bodies, voting rights, resources allocated, quality of food,  etc...are ALL affected by elected officials...

If your neighborhood is under resourced, who did you vote  into office AND what did you do to hold them accountable?  AND were the same politicians reelected?

Do the knowledge to the 2025 Project...

NATURE VS. NURTURE

 Things that make Ya Say Hmmm...

Years ago when our ancestors "Went up North", they went 2 Freedom...

Today, it means going 2 Bondage (Jail)...

ANALOGY 

Many argue/concede that today's NBA players are better than their predecessors due to their skill set (availability to better technolgy/training/conditioning) ...I present that with the consistent display of low basketball IQ, the current players are not better than their predecessors...Being physically better, without the accompanying mental, renders one lacking in their full potential...

FOLLOW ME

Let's examine my 1st statement...

Today, we have better technology/training (education)/environment than our ancestors did during Chattel Slavery, yet we wear (celebrate) being put in Bondage as a badge of honor...Rite of passage...

Like the Bball Question, "Are we smarter (better) today than our ancestors? "

My people & I are solution based...

My Brotha Monwasha Edu posted a lesson regarding relationships, specifically African (Black) Love...Nature vs. Nurture

I'll pull from it to close my point...

Our Ancestors that sought Freedom were in Harmony with their Nature (African) & used said Nature as their foundation of their culture...The culture that valued Freedom & Education among other things...Respecting & Drawing from those who came before them...

In short, to reach the heights that we say we want...To maximize our FULL Being, we must be in Harmony with our NATURE to break the NURTURE of over 400+ years...
