Greetings all:

I am going to try to scare you to life

I am going to speak very plainly – because there are a lot of closeted commentaries. And it appears that the experts in the house have difficulty in simply saying yes or no to questions posed to them – especially the predator in chief – who will not answer a direct question no matter how many times you ask him.

First of all – let me urge those who have been watching the meanstream, mediocre media menials – otherwise known as news casters – primarily Fox False News, and peripherally, CNN – most recently The Wall Street Journal, and New York Times – that they are being guided (or misdirected) by corporate media moguls who have been T-rump's running buddies for decades. Many of them may have been part of the “catch and release” methodology that the meanstream media had been using against President Biden and Vice President Harris that downplayed the progress they were making in recovering from the Pandemic and the deliberate not-so-benign neglect many of our families suffered under, costing the lives of millions of Americans.

Please use the common sense that God gave you to know when you are being lied to – when someone tells you that the Democratic party has deliberately caused the hurricanes to go through the South – you might want to ask them what they've been smoking, snorting, or injecting.

When you see grown man put on a clown show when the issues that affect your lives, your future and your family are at stake – decide whether or not this individual is who you want to be in charge. When the individual who has to pledge to defend the country – meaning all of us – from enemies, foreign and domestic – is making friends with those same enemies to undermine your homes, jobs and future. Do you want that person to be in charge?

When the person who was allowed to pretend to be president for 4 years was actually aided by using a known enemy of America to alter the votes – and, by the way, it was known that this happened before he took the oath of office – and when one of the members of the electoral college knew he had cheated, but put him in office anyway – aren't you just more than a little concerned about who's running the ship?

Frankly, I've always been more than a little curious about why the ersatz news never asked or investigated or followed the money – T-rump always bragged about how rich he was – aren't you just a little suspicious about how it was that he was able to get all the repuglycon senators/house of representatives to suddenly come over to his side? How did that happen? Think about it? I don't think they would all take a mass departure from the Constitution unless it was made worth their while.

And if you think that could not possibly have been the case, just remember that there are certain parties of the Subprime Court who have been guilty of receiving enormous gifts, while rank and file employees in DC and other municipalities are under threat for taking so much as a lunch, or a token. Interesting, isn't it?

How is it that the predator in chief can cozy up to dictators and despots, while dismantling and ignoring his own secret service and foreign advisors.

Most uninformed – and sadly, ignorant Black Americans – who suffered loss of employment during the Covid Pandemic, received stimulous checks from the DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS – after overriding the objections of T-rump – during the time that Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House. They would never have received the funding under T-rump. Sadly, not understanding the power of propaganda and publicity, they allowed him to have his signature stamped on the checks – in an mistaken show of solidarity. Now you have many ignorant people who assumed because of T-rump's alleged wealth, think that he personally gave them the money.

Let's take this back a step further to the presidency of Ronald Reagan – who was the beginning of the end of quality education, quality employment, quality anything - systematically began reducing funding to public schools, including the reduction of nutritious meals, and teachers' salaries. Civics, history, and science were replaced with watered down versions such as earth sciences, etc. From 1981-1984 he tried to move the financial capital of the world from New York to California; reduced salaries to police force, caused the Air Traffic controllers to be fired after they struck for better salaries; had farmers pouring milk into the soil in order to raise the price, and had real estate interest rates to increase to 19% and ushered in the adjustable rate mortgage. By the 90s the American educational system was a mere shadow of its former self; and most of the jobs that had been American grown had been shifted out the US to other countries, leaving us with rust belts and abandoned warehouses up and down the east coast; and homes abandoned by people leaving urban areas to find employment elsewhere.

After Reagan came Bush 1 – who continued the decimation of the US. It was horrific because suddenly there was no financial aid for college; any of the male students attending college had to register for the draft, and many individuals who opposed Bush seemed to suddenly disappear as crisis after crisis emerged.

It wasn't until Bill Clinton became president that things began to correct themselves – meaning that Clinton really had a mess to clean up. But, in case you missed it, whenever the contemporary Repuglycons get in power, everything they touch turns to shit! And then the Democrats have to come in with Lysol, Bleach, and plenty of toilet paper to clean up the mess and get things back on track.

Following Bill Clinton, who left the country with a surplus, was Bush 2 – who served as president from 2001 through 2009 – during the 911 Assault on America – left America's economy in shambles with one of the worst economic downturns ever.

It took Barack Obama to pull America out, turn it around and left the country – once again – with a surplus.

Bringing us down (and I do mean down) to the orange faced fool (OFF) who obviously had a conspiracy in play that would have led him to be a dictator, ruling the US for himself, his cronies, and the enemies of American democracy – including Putin, Kim Jung Il, Netanyahu, Chi, The Heritage Foundation, and Corporate Americans who have been benefiting from low to no tax consequences while continually screwing America. And while the subprime court is co-signing everything he does, the stacking of the court has to be laid at the feet of Mitch the B-ch McConnell, who, as former speaker of the house under a repuglycon majority congress, refused to allow President Obama's nominee to the Supremen Court, Merrick Garland, to be considered or seated. This left an opening throughout the remainder of President Obama's term! Despite no longer having a majority of Democrats to back him, President Barack Obama managed to bring about Obama Care (the Affordable Care Act), taking the ultimate decision making power out of the hands of the insurance conglomerates and big pharma; managed to improve schools, restore stability to home ownership and help those who found themselves under water.

When T-rump became the ersatz president, they quickly filled the Supreme Court vacancy. Interesting isn't it?

Now, to my Democrat Brothers and Sisters, what have we learned from all this?

They say a picture's worth a thousand words.

And, in the case of T-rump, there are so many ways to get the picture and begin to understand why it is important to ELECT KAMALA HARRIS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and send T-RUMP PACKING TO PRISON WHERE HE BELONGS.

Not only is T-rump playing from Hitler's book, but Reagan's as well. Not only is he trying to be a dictator, by dismantling the constitution, but as an actor, and a member of SAG/Aftra, he is able to get concessions from the news media and others when it comes to dumbing down the news coverage that would have exposed this incompetence; his conspiratorial exploits, and his total disregard for humanity. He is the consummate leviathan, the mendicant in chief, the one who separates families from their children by putting them in concentration camps while the world turns a blind eye to the suffering and the trauma of the children.

Long before Marjorie Taylor Green, he put a bleach blond bad built butch body bimbo in charge of the department of education, who couldn't give two shits about whether or not our children in public schools received a decent education, food, or any other of the programs most American schools used to provide. (Sadly, President Biden's appointment to the Secretary of Education has done little to rectify the situation – probably why so few Americans know a damned thing about the constitution, their rights, the government, or democracy. Keeping Americans ignorant while subplanting the info with lies and distortions; clowning and under the table manipulations.

HANDS OFF HAITI CHERIE! - US still disrespects Haiti After More than 200 Years

Hello All!

HANDS OFF HAITI CHERIE! - After More than 200 years the US still disrespects Haiti -

I am highly concerned about anything the US purports to do to "assist" Haiti! That's like setting the fox to guard the hen house!! America is not to be trusted with the well being of Haitians! They are still trying to get revenge for their self-liberation. No other Black country has ever done that.

It would better for them to work with Traore' who is dedicated to empowering the people.

Since 1804, when Haitians defeated the French, and kicked them off their island by walking through fire, under the brave leadership of Toussaint L'Overture and Dessalines, there has been a not so subtle vendetta against this country of Brave Black People by the racist US government - starting with Andrew Jackson to the current incumbent.

The French were so spooked, they "sold" Haiti and its holdings in the US under the Louisiana Purchase in order to get Haiti off their hands. Not wanting to admit that those Black people kicked their butts and let them know what time it was, they retreated to France and never returned - well, not until later in the 19th century.

In 2004, when we were prepared to make a symbolic cruise from New York City to Haiti - called RAISING THE BLACK STAR LINE (coordinated by Susan Taylor - then Editor In Chief of ESSENCE MAGAZINE) - BUSH, the former CIA chief and current ersatz president at the time, had Aristede - the current president of Haiti - kidnapped from his office allegedly "to protect him." He also put an embargo on any cruise ships leaving New York Harbor to go to Haiti.

I am sharing this link with you - in reference to the negative impact of France and America have on Haiti Cherie:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZkmWf7XG4I

For more than 200 years, there has been an ongoing concerted effort to demonize Haiti, with the French trying to charge them heavily for liberating themselves.

Capt. Ibrahim Traore' of Burkina Faso, which is a French speaking country, has become a shining example of what happens when African countries exercise Self Determination, Autonomy, Unity and Creativity - in place of the corru has become an icon in the eyes of Haitians - hence the US trying to distract them with bogus promises of assistance.

DON'T FALL FOR IT HAITI!

You, who are self liberated and self sustaining must not put your lives or your future in the hands of the caucasoids. You have a history of being self-sufficient, and self sustaining. Teach your children about your illustrious history, and put those qualities back into practice that I witnessed when I stayed in your beautiful country 50 years ago.

To the rest of you on this mailing list - I hope you will not urge Haiti Cherie to drink the US poison kool aid and relegate them to a life of second class citizenship in their own homeland.

Our Haitian Brothers deserve to be free and to have the assistance to develop the autonomy that will make their country trule THE PERLE DES ANTILLES!

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

STAY BLESSED &

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Wake Up Philly - They're destroying SEPTA! Whatcha Gonna Do About it?

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 16:12:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All!

I have to admit that I'm gobsmacked!

I can't believe that Philadelphians, and those of the other surrounding communities, are just gonna stand around, with their toe in the sand, with a woe is me look on their face, and allow The SEPTA BOARD to get away with defunding the most essential - and, up until recently - one of the best well run, transit systems in the US, by passing a dicey FY26 blood sucking budget.

You gotta be kidding me! How do they get to take a break when they haven't completed their responsibility in taking care of the business and welfare of those they were elected to serve.

I'm even more surprised to learn that a deficit of $213 Million stands between SEPTA's being operational or set aside to gather cobwebs. Though I don't have that amount in my back pocket, I'll bet there are probably some Philadelphians who do!! PHILLY IS THE CITY OF QUIET MILLIONAIRES. I get it that there are some managerial structural issues that must be addressed, but there are also options to NEGOTIATE NON-PREDATORY, stop-gap loans with them and/or some of the major corporations that are headquartered here while the legislators are making other arrangements.

A 45% CUT IS NOT THE SOLUTION! We know that these are some specious times - but attrition is not the answer!

Eliminating 38 bus routes, and no longer providing transit services to neighboring communities and towns is not the answer, and shows a lack of insight. You can't build revenue when there is no service. You need them to keep running while you begin finding private - non-predatory - interim funding sources. While the counties might not be allowed to tax their constituents to maintain the service, why not set up community, state and local investment programs to help underwrite SEPTA?

The SEPTA Board taking off with this problem still looming makes it appear that they don't care about the massive harm that is soon to be visited upon their constituents with the diminution of service. Lack of creative approach to a problem that will clearly bring widespread harm, is to be considered a dereliction of duty.

Not providing the necessary funds to expand and maintain SEPTA for all in the South Eastern Pennsylvania region - which includes Philadelphia, Delaware and Montgomery counties, as well as Trenton, Delaware, and other surrounding areas is criminal!

Each and every Pennsylvanian - regardless of your political affiliation - and EVERY PHILADELAPHIAN - should be camping out on the front porch of every one of these board members and your reps and not allowing them to move or enjoy their unearned vacation until SEPTA is fully funded.

NO VACATION FOR THEM UNTIL THEY TAKE CARE OF US. They have cars, personal drivers, and are not directly affected by this shut down. Not a luxury many of us have access to.

Just like Philly took to the streets to demonstrate against the predator in chief's demented draconian behavior, you must accord them same treatment. This sheeple behavior is not the Philly I know. I'm accustomed to people who are straight on when it comes to demanding and standing for their rights.

The media is going around asking insipid questions of people who are standing at bus stops waiting fcor service - and folks are falling for the pity poor me scenario. What needs to be heard is that there is grass root leadership activating protests until this is rectified and the service is expanded. And goodness I truly hope so!

Philadelphia is the 6th largest city in the US. It rocks back and forth between cast as one of the poorest and one of the the rising stars. Without a viable transit system they are being fast tracked to poverty and decay. And remember - 2026 IS THE 250th Anniversary of Philadelphia! Limping into that historical period of celebration when we'll be rendered less well off than our founding Fathers in unconscionable!!

So now I say again: WTF PHILLY! WATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT THIS?

In addition to SEPTA'S Board, we have stated, local and federal representatives!! YOU ELECTED THEM TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU - Dems and Repuglycons! When they don't, you've got to stand for yourselves. You neeed to flood the local offices of your State, City and Federal reps; as well as SEPTA's Headquarters - and demand they do their job - come up with a better plan to save SEPTA - immediately, if not sooner.

We appear to have allowed our attention on the ridiculous actions of the predator in chief in DC to divert us from what's happening here and now in real time. We've given them the proverbial "inch" by making the announcement to downsize SEPTA as though it's okay, and there are no other options. We have to now stop this at the pass!

While it appears SEPTA may suffering from the same kind of incompetent representation we are dealing with in DC, I'm hoping that's not the case - and that we've enough of a sense of self preservation to not let it slip by!

This is our wake up call - we are responsible for making sure we don't get thrown under the bus either by Harrisburg or DC, our own inactivity!

It's time to stop whining on the TV news and start demanding they do their job.

So let's send a message to the SEPTA Board members, and to those we have elected - Our needs will not be neglected!! MAYBE WE START A PETITION TO MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WE'RE ALL CONNECTED! BECAUSE THE SITUATION WITH SEPTA MUST BE CORRECTED!

IMMEDIATELY - IF NOT SOONER

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

STAY BLESSED

STOP CALLING HIM THE PRESIDENT - HE IS THE PREDATOR IN CHIEF

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 05:40:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All!

Please don't call him "The President!"

When they call his stupid actions "unprecedented"
He thinks he's being complimented
When the true fact is that he's seriously demented

When we plead for decency and humanity

You're feeding his insanity

The more you beg the bigger his vanity

Racist Maga congress is getting their jollies over our despair

While passing T-rumps big bogus bullhit bill for his greedy Bullyionaires

By depriving us of food, housing, services, Medicaid & Medicare

It doesn't matter whether you're repuglycon or Democrat
Asian, Latino, Jewish, German, White, Brown or Black
Independent, militant, Christian, pacifist, or diplomat

We who live in America and want to save the USA
Had better come together and realize there's an ultimate price to pay
If we don't stop being stupid and divided they will get their way

So I repeat before more precious time is spent
Stop calling him the president!!!
Because his real name is Leviathan the vile serpent!!

THE PHILADELPHIA JUNETEENTH FAMILY HOSTS THEIR ANNUAL JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION OF LIBERATION AND UNITY JUNE 2ND - JUNE 19TH 2025 - CELEBRATING 160 YEARS OF LIBERATION

(Philadelphia, PA) -- Greetings All!

Mark your calendars, roll out your Black pride, and get ready to celebrate your heritage as we prepare to COMMEMORATE THE 160th ANNIVERSARY OF JUNETEENTH!

And what more important time to celebrate our heritage than now, with forces trying to undermine, obscure and dismantle all that we've accomplished.

We expect a massive turnout as The Philadelphia Juneteenth Family cordially invites Philadelphians, Pennsylvanians - the entire nation - to support and participate in this joyous, Historic Juneteenth 2025 - 160th Anniversary Celebration and Commemoration.

To commemorate this 160th Anniversary year, we've expanded our celebration, events and activities! So, mark your calendars, get your family, neighbors and friends together and be ready to participate in one of the greatest BLACK HISTORY CULTURAL TRADITIONS: JUNETEENTH 2025 - 160 YEARS OF BLACK EXCELLENCE!

On June 2nd, 2025 - the first Monday in June, at 11:00AM - we kick off our ceremonies by raising our Official National Juneteenth Flag. The National Juneteenth Observance Foundation has designated the first Monday in June as the day of the Official Juneteenth Flag Raising Ceremonies, which take place across the US - including the Nation’s Capital in Washington DC. This marks the beginning of a series of nationwide celebrations through the month of June.

The Philadelphia Juneteenth Family's Flag Raising Ceremony is open to the community and will be held at City Hall's North Apron on Broad and Juniper Streets, starting at 11:00 AM. The event features entertainment and presentations, including such special guests as Kenyatta Johnson, President of Philadelphia City Council, and City Council Member Jamie Gauthier. Gauthier will read General Order #3 - President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

This is the infamous proclamation that was delayed by slaveholders for two years, illegally extending slavery in Texas for two years. Upon being read General order #3, which freed the slaves, Juneteenth (June 19th) became the national date of the celebration of freedom from slavery — an important piece of history that everyone - especially Black people – should know and celebrate.

The guest of honor and keynote speaker is Philadelphia's own dynamic and courageous Dr. Movita Johnson Harrell who is a study in resilience:

Movita is featured in the award-winning docuseries “Philly DA” and she is the main character in the award winning “Murders That Matter” by highly acclaimed film maker Marco Williams. The film documents Movita’s work over the course of several years to save young people on both sides of the gun. The film has been nominated for an NAACP Award. On September 20th, 2021, Movita released the first installment of her memoir “Phoenix Ascending: My Rise From The Ashes”. Several hours after its’ release Movita’s memoir became a new “#1 Best New Release”. Over several hundred copies were sold in the first two weeks of the book’s release. Movita chairs several boards and was the 2023 United Nations Ambassador to Geneva Switzerland.

In January of 2018 Movita was appointed Supervisor of Victim/Witness Services and Restorative Justice at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office by District Attorney Lawrence Krasner, becoming the first Muslim woman appointed to a supervisory law enforcement position in a Pennsylvania prosecutor’s office. Movita created the Philadelphia CARES Model that brought $1.6 million dollars and 15 jobs to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office to support co-victims of homicide and to prevent retaliation. In the prosecutor’s office Movita created programs including the CVAC (Crime Victim’s Advisory Committee) which organized a committee of twenty crime victims to create victim services policies to better serve people that have been victimized by people and systems. She has even adopted a school of orphans in Africa to help expand her service to victims in the motherland. Her story and energy are compelling and represent one of the many of our people who have emerged and made their contribution over the past 160 years since the beginning of Juneteenth.

Other Philadelphia Dignitaries include Rev. Dr. Malcolm Byrd President, Forum Philly and Pastor of Hope’s Beacon Baptist Church; Imam Farid W. Rasool Amir, President, Majlis Ash-Shula, Gwen Ragsdale, Executive Director and Curator of the Lest We Forget Museum of Slavery; Voffee Jabateh, President of ACANA and Founder/Developer of Africa Town; Anthony Murphy, Executive Director at Town Watch Integrated Services/UNIA ACL RC 2020 President General; Rochelle Bilal, Sheriff of Philadelphia, Council member emeritus Jannie Blackwell, Commissioner Omar Sabir, Kofi Asante, President -Asante and Associates, Attorney Keir Gray, Esq.

The community will be entertained by rhythms from the Traditional African American Drum Society; and inspired by Evangelist Theresa Reid's rendition of our Black National Anthem “Lift Every Voice and Sing." The Sisterly Love Trio (Charlene Holloway, Founder) will also provide musical renditions during the program.

There will be a series of ceremonies celebrating Juneteenth throughout Philadelphia. And during the days of June 17th through the 19th, Philly's skyline will be emblazoned with the "Garvey Freedom Lights," featuring the Black Liberation colors of Red, Black & Green. Each evening, beginning at dusk, the FREEDOM LIGHTS will be reflected on the following sites:

Ben Franklin Bridge, Philadelphia International Airport control tower, Parx Casino, Live! Hotel and Casino, The PECO Crown Lights, Cira Centre South FMC Tower,3151 Market, Liberty Place One and Two, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Lincoln Financial Field, Wells Fargo Center, Citizens Bank Park, In addition, the Greater Philadelphia YMCA will be joining the Garvey Freedom Lights Project at various locations across the city of Philadelphia.

So, get your cameras ready! You will not want to miss this historic tribute!

Since the month of June has been designated Black Peoples Month - with 8 different events commemorating Black History and Progress, The Philadelphia Juneteenth Family will also present a Cabaret and Show, Friday, June 28, 2025, honoring Black Music Month and Caribbean Heritage Month - featuring international recording artist Shirley Lites & Company; and Special Guest Rashaan Rich, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at Yeadon Borough Hall 600 Church Lane (Church Lane/Bailey Rd).

Additional information will be provided later.

Get ready, Philly! Join us for the 160th anniversary of Juneteenth.

“One People, One Cause, One Destiny”.

THE SMARTEST WAY TO DEAL WITH TOXIC PEOPLE | Jordan Peterson Best Motivational

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue5kjAuZ7nM

Greetings All!

By now we all know that there are some miscreants in key political positions bent on taking us back to the 1800s and beyond. The primary target appears to be Black people - people of color, and marginalized individuals who have come to the US for a better life for themselves and their families.

Needless to say, we are being targeted. There are those who would try to deny or ignore our humanity, and denigrate our contribution to this society. This is no longer "political" this is borderline genocidal.

Which is why I'm circulating this rather brief missive to all my family, friends, sorors, associates, etc. We are dealing with a megalomaniac - we are being targeted (as I have already stated), and we need to be aware and wary.

I just came across a clip from YouTube that I think is quite instructive in how to deal with the main ringleader and his menials. I strongly suggest you take the advice fully and wisely. Share this with your family, friends and associates. People appear to be still confused about the dynamics that are bombarding us on a daily basis - so much so the ersatz news media has not kept us informed, or have caved in to the expanding authoritarian regime, rather than to confront the harm they are doing to our country - spiratually, mentally, physically, psychologically, economically - with no real evidence of containment. The clip is constructive and informative. There are probably more information rich videos that need to be shared as well. If you have come across them, please do share.

Our lives and those of our loved ones are at stake. We can't afford to take a wait it out or wait and see posture. We also can't wait for 2 years. This is happening now, in real time, and expanding to such a rapid pace, we can't afford to be caught off guard.

Hope this is helpful.

ICYMI: TODAY May 19, 2025 - is the 100th Birthday Anniversary of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz - better known as MALCOLM X!

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Mon, 19 May 2025 12:43:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All1

Well, in case you missed it, today is May 19, 2025 - it is the 100th Birthday Anniversary of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz - better known as MALCOLM X!

And the world is poised to celebrate the memory of Our Shining Black Prince, who was assassinated brutally in front of his followers, wife and children, while addressing a small group of Black People in the Audubon Ballroom in the Washington Heights section of Harlem.

Brother Malcolm's image and influence on the Black community is as strong as when he first emerged from prison as a follower of Elijah Muhammad. His words of wisdom still resonate with us though he was assassinated 60 years ago while trying to wake Black people up and take the chain off their brains.

It was a pivotal time in Black History. We were in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement, the Militant Movement, and the Student Nonviolent Movement. The caucasoids were trying to pit the Muslims (considered militant) against the Civil Rights (NAACP, SCLC, etc) and the Student NonViolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) which was on the brink of moving to the more aggressive side of Black Power. Caucasoids were escalating their aggressions against Black people regardless of which bin they fell into. They were looking to drive a wedge or intimidate us into silence; or buy of those who were on the periphery of becoming Black or staying "negro."

Malcolm X was not intimidated by their threats. He was also no longer easy to propagandize with buzz words. He had been to Mecca, achieved his Hajj, and was beginning to move into another direction which would have had powerful consequences for Black people in the US.

Though I never had the pleasure of meeting Minister Malcolm, I have had the pleasure of getting to know his widow, Soror Betty Shabazz (who was a member of the New York Alumni Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority). We had many a wonderful conversation during those wonderful years - about her daughters (there were six of them - including the twins); Sorority Business, getting better programs for students at Medgar Evers College, and so many other wonderful interactions. I even had the pleasure of doing a one-on-one interview with Soror Shabazz when the meanstream media tried to draw a wedge between her and Minister Louis Farrakhan.

I have had the pleasure of knowing two of his six daughters - Ilyasah Shabazz and Malaak Shabazz - each of them carrying many of the positive spirits and traits of both their parents. Ive met Attilah several times - very briefly - but probably not so much that she would ever remember me.

In commemoration of this wonderful brother - their dad - I must salute his heroism and his humanity. I know that he is our ICON, but he was the dad they needed who was snatched away from them via a form of violence that is the true underbelly of what this nation is truly about.

Many of my contemporaries have never read the Autobiography of Malcolm X (as told to Alex Haley - author of ROOTS). I strongly suggest you get a copy and read it through and through. Also Spike Lee's movie is quite revealing - MALCOLM X - released in 1992. We should not just commemorate this wonderful brother, we should update our knowledge of who he was/is and what he did/does for us as Black people.

I am sending up a Happy Heavenly/MECCA 100 BIRTHDAY to our SHINING BLACK PRINCE

BROTHER MALCOLM X - May his star and influence always shine true - and may we learn the lessons he tried to impart to us during his short time among us.

DICK BARNETT of the New York KNICKS made his transition April 27, 2025

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 04:07:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All!

This is gonna be brief.

Lost a dear friend yesterday. I knew it was coming. He had been going through so many challenges over the past two years.

There were prayers going out from me to Silent Unity - the prayer hotline I go to when it's only in God's hands. His friends likewise were no doubt praying for him as well. They made it their business to visit him to keep up his morality.

But in the end, he made his transition - absented his physical to be with the spiritual on Sunday morning, April 27, 2025.

NEW YORK KNICK DICK BARNETT - ATHLETE & AUTHOR

The friend I'm speaking of? Dr. Richard "DICK" Barnett of the New York Knicks.

I had been trying to reach him - spiritually - for days. He was on my mind. 'But when I saw the Florida number pop up on my phone, I knew this was it.

I tried to brace myself - but you're never ever really prepared to hear of the death of a friend. In addition to being fan - y'all know I am a diehard KNICKS fan, right??- I was impressed by the fact that he had embarked on writing a Novel - a Trilogy - entitled "THE ATHLETE NEGRO" about the realm of sports and exploitation Black athletes; and had asked ME to edit it for him! After reading the story, and looking at all the wisdom he had laced within the scenarios, I told him he definitely shop the book to Tyler Perry - it had all the elements of what he looks for in a good story.

NY KNICK'S DICK BARNETT ALWAYS DRESSED TO IMPRESS

It was because of this interaction that I became aware of what a brilliant brother Dick was - on and off the court! We collaborated for nearly 10 years - from 2015 until his ailments finally overwhelmed him. They say to be Absent from the Body is to be Present with the Lord. That's only partially true. Dick Barnett's spirit and energy, like his legendary moves on the basketball court that led the KNICKS to two championships, is still with us. And that's a good thing.

Or, as Dick would say "EXACTLY!"

My condolences to his sister Jean, the entire NY KNICKS Team - including former team members Clyde Frazier and Earl Monroe, Bobby Hunter, his best friend Van, and his realm of friends and admirers who have remained loyal to him throughout the years - including Me.

NY KNICK #12 DICK BARNETT CHAMPION ON AND OFF THE COURT

He can joins the team of the Ancestor/Angels -always a winner.

Respectfully and tearfully submitted

Your Sister/Friend

Gloria

Brother/Friend DICK BARNETT - a champion on and off the court - set an example for our youth and many adults to follow!

Watch out Philly! SEPTA Needs Your Help! MAGA BUDGET CUTS THREATEN OUR RAPID TRANSIT SERVICE - STOP IT!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 13:34:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All!

Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority

Well, we are actually heading towards May of 2025 at break neck speed- we got through Easter and Hitler's Birthday - April 20; we made it through the Oklahoma Ruin and Earth Day - April 22 - and, despite the sickening, ignominious headlines, and the legions of podcasts that say the same thing - ad infinitum - about the predator in chief's latest assault on America, somehow we've managed to get through our day to day affairs somewhat intact.

Then, some lunatic tried to assassinate Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro by throwing molotov cocktails into his mansion (theoretically because of religious differences - I will stick with lunatic)! Governor Shapiro is one of my personal heroes and I took the whole thing personally - as did most of Pennsylvania. What the sam hill is going on here?? The poison from DC is wafting its way up north and polluting our environment. It has to stop - or, rather, it has to be stopped.

That said, I was recently regaled with an unexpected and unnecessary challenge - that of the possible dismantling of the South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority: SEPTA! Just when I was smugly bragging on the wonderful things that were happening in Philly, I was blindsided with this big of negativity!!!

Philadelphia has begun to make progress due to the many ambitious, and laudable, projects enunciated by Mayor Cherelle Parker less than a scant month ago. She detailed all the wonderful measures that she was implementing to enhance the city! I'm sure she was not aware that there was dirty work afoot behind the scenes: Apparently SEPTA's General Manager has decided to step down from her post; and at the same time, the State of Pennsylvania is sitting on essential funds needed to keep the system immaculate and running right.

They were either unaware of, or did not care about what was getting ready to befall the nearly 3 million passengers who rely on SEPTA to get to their destinations - work, school, hospitals, shopping, local and regional travel. And it seems the interim general manager had no compunction about pulling the rug - er, tracks - out from under them by shortening the schedules, rerouting buses and trains and leaving passengers stranded in the different stops SEPTA routinely services.

Need to get to Treton? Tough noogies; going to Delaware? Not from here? Have to get to the more than 290 stations that connects SEPTA to PHILLY and beyond? Yes! 290 stations. Not only that, SEPTA is the 6th largest US rapid transit system in the nation - with more 3 million riders on a daily basis, and 450 miles of tracks, and 2,350 buses an trains over 196 routes! Regional Rail has 13 branches and 155 stations. But it appears it doesn't matter to them. It looks as though Philadelphia and SEPTA are being T-rumped (rhymes with punked)!!

The interesting thing about this is the fact that in July, 2024, SEPTA had enthusiastically announced they would be replacing the Market /Frankfort lines with 200 newly minted, sleek trains - the scheduled arrival was 2029 - four years away! However, if there is a reduction of services in the interim, this will leave Philly a ghost town. It may even cause an exodus similar the one Philly suffered from under the Reagan administration. It would be awesome if the new trains could be fast tracked in time for Philadelphia's 250th Anniversary - but that's 2026.

With the reduction in the number of services, in the face of the growing population of Philadelphia and surrounding areas, what the Sam Hill is the problem with Pennsylvania's state legislators. Why are they sitting on SEPTA's budget, and putting the system on the brink on disaster and bankruptcy? That's the kind of stuff repuglycons do - don't tell me that we are under the boot of the leviathan! Don't tell me that we are dealing with a state legislative body that would rather see its constituents suffer than have what they need to function.

Sounds to me like the good people of Philadelphia and surrounding areas should also be protesting against those in the State who are blocking SEPTA's budget and their means of transportation. Their connections to other attenuating states which also brings funds into Pennsylvania will also be adversely affected - or completely eliminated.

The pending new SEPTA bus schedules appear to be aiming to relegate Philadelphia to the level of a backwater town, instead of a growing metropolitan city on the rise. Who came up with the concept of curtailing bus schedules at 9:00 PM? What's up with that? Are the Quakers back? Are Philly's sidewalks rolling up again? Are Blue Laws being reinstated? The route changes leaving riders stranded and trying to find means to get home make no sense whatsoever. What dweeb is behind this madness? Clearly someone who obviously never uses SEPTA.

I do wonder whether or not any of these changes were put before the actual riders. I seriously doubt it. I remember they used to hold so called community meetings at 5:00PM right around the time most people would be just getting off from their jobs. It was one of those "let's don't, but say we did" meetings, so they could pretend to have community input. Had they given the riders the chance to be part of the meeting, or planning, I doubt seriously that they would have agreed to such egregious cuts to these essential services.

Hey SEPTA! if you want to do something, why not enhance the services instead? Make SEPTA the envy of the Eastern Seaboard Rapid transit system - including NYCTA, MARTA, etc., like Washington, DC has done. You know - lighted stops, Audio and LED enunciators of the next bus or train so people with disabilities can be alerted. And, hey! How about MONORAILS around the periphery of Philly and other areas to feature the beautiful waterfront and other sights that the city is famous for? This will not only enhance the service for the residents, but uptick the tourists who flock here by the millions to see the CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE AND SISTERLY AFFECTION?

As I mentioned before, it's time Philadelphians paid a visit to Harrisburg! And make a visit to SEPTA's Headquarters at 1234 Market Street to have a sit down with the ersatz SEPTA management and demand they restore and expand the services.

In fact, SEPTA, while I'm writing this article, I might as well make some additional recommendations:

1) Make your trolley cars wheelchair accessible!

2) Provide LIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE SERVICE until 10:00 PM so people can get real time updated info - the apps are a joke.

3) Provide kiosks with led banners announcing when next bus is approaching

4) Bring back the bus stations for GREYHOUND, TRAILWAYS, BOLT, ETC to their original point or nearby (the 30ths street transit hub) in areas safe for passengers - not on the Schuylkyl parkway (I know this isn't SEPTA, but it's a hot mess now - you either have to go all the way to Delaware Ave., or risk your life on Schuylkyl Ave and Walnut).

5) Provide better training for bus operators, train operators and maintenance personnel

6) Host monthly community meetings for community input!

7) Be Creative and Provide a SEPTA MONORAIL SERVICE that connects key areas in and around the periphery of Philly and Southeastern Pennsylvania to take advantage of the speed as well as the beautiful vistas for local and tourist enjoyment. Guess what - takes 18 months to build them, low to no pollution, and no escavation or blocking of the roads.

In summation: SEPTA IS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. AS THE 6TH LARGEST RAPID TRANSIT SERVICE IN THE US, IT WOULD BE FOOLISH TO UNDERCUT THE SERVICE, INSTEAD OF USING CREATIVE INGENUITY TO EXPAND AND ENHANCE IT.

THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL TO PHILADELPHIANS:

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Guest article: Trump’s "Hitler’s Birthday" Gift: The Death of American Democracy - By Thom Hartmann

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Sun, 20 Apr 2025 06:22:00 +0000

Thom Hartmann

Apr 07, 2025

Click below for daily song:

April 20th has a special significance for Nazis and neo-Nazis around the world. Neo-Nazi groups in states like Florida, Missouri, and North Carolina have organized events specifically to commemorate Hitler’s 4/20 birthday. These include “Adolf Hitler Celebrations” and gatherings marketed as “family-friendly” to indoctrinate children into white supremacist ideology.

In Georgia, a neo-Nazi shared a photo of a swastika-decorated cake baked by his girlfriend in honor of Hitler’s birthday; at the Federal Correctional Facility in Florence, Colorado, a Hitler birthday celebration among white supremacist inmates escalated into a race riot involving over 200 prisoners, resulting in deaths and injuries.

This year, though, the celebration of Hitler’s 136th birthday may be a bigger deal than any year before. Because that may be the day Trump’s plan to end American democracy is finally, fully put into place.

Andreas Michaelis, the German ambassador to the United States (who knows well the significance of Hitler’s birthday) wrote about this danger, in a confidential (but leaked) briefing document that gives us a hint:

He wrote that Donald Trump’s agenda is one of “maximum disruption” bringing about “a redefinition of the constitutional order — maximum concentration of power with the president at the expense of Congress and the federal states.

“Basic democratic principles and checks and balances will be largely undermined, the legislature, law enforcement and media will be robbed of their independence and misused as a political arm, Big Tech will be given co-governing power.”

Strongman authoritarians like Hitler, et al, don’t just take over governments and end freedom and liberty all on their own; first, they and their supporters ignore the law, and then set out to gut the institutions that support and defend democracies.

When you see a leader bending the main institutions of the nation to his will, you know this process is well underway:

— Paul Weiss and several other major law firms have already buckled to Trump, promising tens of millions in free work for his favorite causes and ending diversity programs.
— Republicans in Congress are using threats of impeachment to lay the foundation for attacking the independence of federal judges who rule against Trump.
— Multiple major media outlets have already rolled over and paid off Trump to appease him in the hopes it’ll stop his lawsuits; sensing blood in the water, though, he’s doubling down on his attacks on the Fourth Estate.
— Multiple universities have caved in to Trump’s demands as he arrests and deports their foreign students for speaking out against him and his fellow autocrat Netanyahu.

Most concerning, though, is what Trump has planned for Hitler’s birthday — 4/20 — which also appears to be a favorite of Elon Musk (although it’s also often a proxy for marijuana).

(According to the Tesla website, April 20 is “Elon Musk Day,” a moment in time for celebrating the underappreciated genius. Elon once tweeted that he was “considering taking Tesla private at $420”; in 2021 he raised money for SpaceX by selling shares for $419.99, just one penny below $420; he acquired Twitter for $54.20 a share; has noted in a tweet, “I was born 69 days before 4/20”; and sometimes just randomly tweets 420.)

This year, however, Hitler’s birthday is the date one of Donald Trump’s first executive orders requires Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to submit to him a report on whether or not he can suspend the Constitution and Bill of Rights by invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Much like Hitler obtained the legal authority to ignore — and even violate — the German constitution with the Enabling Acts on March 23, 1933, fifty-three days after being appointed Chancellor, Trump is looking into similar authority a mere three months after being sworn in for his second term.

The Insurrection Act gives the president the power to ignore the Posse Comitatus Act, passed after the Civil War to guarantee that American troops would never again point their weapons at civilians within the United States. It does not require an act of Congress and is not time-limited; like the Enabling Acts, it could last for as long as Trump holds the presidency.

And odds are that even the Supreme Court won’t stop him, as the justices have traditionally deferred to presidential decision-making when it comes to states of emergency like those that would be identified when invoking the Insurrection Act.

Pundits are torn on how far Trump will push this, with Republicans suggesting he’d be unwilling to go beyond the bounds of the Constitution and Posse Comitatus. But he’s already tried to use the military against civilians; General Mark Milley refused Trump’s request, but Milley is now long gone.

Would the law constrain him? Apparently not.

— Trump’s tariff plan is illegal (only Congress has the power to impose tariffs), and Charles Koch and Leonard Leo are suing him to undo the tariffs, but he doesn’t care; he’s going ahead with them anyway.
— Trump’s deportations without due process are illegal, but he doesn’t care; he’s carrying them out anyway.
— Trump’s taking millions from the Saudis for his golf tournament this past weekend is illegal under the emoluments clause of the Constitution, but he doesn’t care; he’s taking their cash anyway.
— Trump’s hustling Tesla cars in front of the White House is an illegal violation of the Hatch Act, but he doesn’t care; he did it anyway and not a single Republican dared challenge him.
— Trump’s hatchet man Musk’s wholesale firing of government employees and shutting down agencies created and funded by Congress is illegal, but they’re both gleefully ignoring the law and the Constitution.

We’re long past the moment when our first felon president slipped into his criminal mode; the question now is how far he’ll go once he gets his Hitler’s Birthday present in roughly two weeks.

Given that the next mass protests are planned for April 19, Trump invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 the following day is a chilling possibility

This is so frightening. Trump is a dangerous man. Surely he can be stopped. I cannot imagine our military following an order to turn on the American people.

IMO:

I generally hate sharing such horrific news on the eve of our Risen Savior - However, I find this a unique occasion to double down on our prayers and not take what is going on here under our noses lightly. We can't afford to overlook the obvious. We have tyrant in our midsts. We are under siege. We are under threat. Like Hitler, T-rump and Musk have amassed a cadre of menials to invade us and subjugate us to their hostile insults and invasion of our privacy. This is not just a Rachel Maddow Headline; it's not something that can be swept under the rug by Fox Faux News. WE are the resident threat to T-rump's execution of his treasonous policies, aided and abetted by the nefarious Heritage Foundation, and chickenshit republycons, and blond bimbos passing for press secretaries. And he and his menials want to goosestep us back to the 1930s or 80s or whenever.

Look out for Easter - you may find that you're inundated with rotten Easter eggs laced with sulphur. Protect yourselves and your children and find something waaay more wholesome to do tomorrow - like joining the Anti-T-rump/Musk/Fascist Protests that are taking place throughout the US. Or checking out one of Bernie Sanders/AOC rallies.

And remember, while you're in church displaying your Easter finery - take time to

Pray The D-Evil Back to Hell.

And pray we are united enough to save ourselves, America, Americans and what's left of our allies from authoritarian fascist neo-nazi attempts to overthrow our government - and our way of life (such as it is).

Footnote on Harvard & DEI and T-rump's Attempt to Dominate and Destroy them and other Universities!
Bill Ackerman - the racist who had Claudine Gay removed from her post as the first Black Female President of Harvard University must feel like a complete fool now that T-rump has launched an attack on Harvard - the school he thought he was "protecting." He might also want to put the skids of the leviathan for having the temerity and the gall of trying to intimidate the Nation's first Ivy League University by depriving it of its funding in order to force it to kowtow to his delusions of grandeur and power. Perhaps, at the same time, Ackman might want to offer Dr. Gay an apology - now that he sees that he's on the wrong side of the horse!! see, Harvard was under no threat from Dr. Gay. She most likely would have been a force for good had he not intefered. In the interim, the fascist in chief is trying to expand his dictatorial tendencies throughout our various Colleges and Universities in order to control their freedom of thought, activities and movement is probably not something Ackman supports - Of course, I could be wrong. But on the off chance that I'm right, Ackman may want to leave the "dark side" and become the force for good Harvard is going to need in the future if they are going to be able to continue to ward off the unwarranted assault on their autonomy and integrity. It actually could be that this may be an opportunity for an alliance of sort between Ackman and NAN - for the good of Harvard and the rest of the PWIs and HBCUs in the country that are now in the gunsights of the anti-intellectual cadre T-rump has brought together to return America to the dark ages. This is a time when folks have to make some serious choices about which side they're on. Are they siding with a demented racist out to overthrow the US and throw us under the bus of Russia and multimillionare mendicants whose love of money exceeds their allegience to the country that made them rich in the first place. I don't know Ackman - so I'm just spinning a concept. But, hopefully, there are among the uber rich those who know they wouldn't have had the wealth they currently enjoy had it not been for America in the first place. There is a saying from the song "Eve of Destruction:" THERE'LL BE NO ONE TO SAVE WITH THE WORLD IN ITS GRAVE - you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction." - Barry McGuire - 1965. Many with financial largess have the mistaken concept that they will be able to get out in time; they can bunker their way through the holocaust T-rump is planning; that their families will be immune. Of course, I could be wrong.

They understand that joining traitors to dismantle the government for a few scheckles - money they probably would not have gotten had it not been for the opportunities they had here to begin with - is no way to express their gratitude. It could be that Ackman and those of his ilk - with more money than God, but without the wisdom or compassion to know what to do with it - will pucker up, kiss the flabby orange backside, swallow what passes for pride, and hope their evening jackets hide the yellow streaks on their backs. Anyway - I've taken this little conundrum as far as I can at this point. I'm proud of all my fellow Americans who have bravely stood up and taken to the streets to make it plain that neither T-rump, Putin, Musk, nor their henchmen or menials that euphemistically make up his "cabinet" are welcome, or will be tolerated. Now if only the subprime court will wake up, admit they've created a monster, and rescind that foolish carte blanch they erroneously extended to him, we can get back to normal, lick our wounds, and apologize to the rest of the world for letting leviathan out of his cage to begin with. By the way - can we please now stop calling this demented miscreant "the president?" He's anything but. Stop saying "It's never happened before; I've never seen this before; this is unprecedented, etc." All you're doing is feeding the warped ego of a megalomaniacal fool - whose narcissitic tendences are exceeded only by his complete lack of moral fibre. Please back AP, shun Fox faux news and NewsMax; stop giving Musk power he doesn't deserve. Stop comparing a monster to a child. Children don't deserve such insults for acts of innocence. The fracas he's launched on us is deliberate and calculated. Can you say Blitzkreig boys and girls? Never heard of it? Look it up in those history books they are so anxious to ban - start with Hitler and work your way forward. These moves are cold, calculated, evil, and debilitating, designed to catch us off guard and keep us that way. NOTE to the FBI, CIA, State Department, Secret Service, ICE, and local law enforcement: ARE YOU INSANE??? HOW IS IT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN AND HAVE ALLOWED A DICTATOR TO TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY YOU HAVE VOWED TO PROTECT AND SERVE??? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T SEE OR SMELL THIS COMING - YOU, WHO HAVE INTEL ON EVERYONE; YOU WHO CAN SNIFF CONSPIRACIES, ARE NOW HAVING CONSPIRACIES LAUNCHED AGAINST YOU - EMASCULATING YOU TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT YOU ARE FAILING IN YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. SMH!! Note to America - Democrats, Repuglycons, Independents, citizens and non citizens: The day we allow T-rump to go goose stepping through the streets of DC - to celebrate the day he was foisted upon us on his ersatz birthday, both Repuglycons and Democrats have to know that they have to unite to stop it, or it's over!

I'm saying to you all that if you love our country, then you'd better make a plan and take a stand and pull your heads out of the sand (and if that rhymes, it's just as I planned). Just clearing my mind and hoping this wakeup call - along with the RESURRECTION of OUR SAVIOR - is what is needed for us all to take this to the next level: Reverse this bogus illegal election that never really happened in the first place - but was bought and paid for by a neo-nazi escapee from Apartheid South Africa who has been bilking America for trillions in failed inventions, while trying to populate the world with something akin to the "Boys from Brazil" neo-nazi seed; co-financed by Putin, Netinyahu, the Heritage Foundation, and the rest of the co-conspirators who plotted for four years with information supplied by the predator in chief from the documents he stole from the White House - to come up with the plot to bring us to the point and predicament we currently find ourselves in. Treason is a non-negotiable item. Along with 34 convictions, there is no more get out of jail free card. The gig is up, and so is time. Americans have the right to freedom from suffering, threats, intimidation, mediocrity, hypocracy, ignorance, evil, and poverty, and false incarceration. In other words - we have the right to NOT THIS!!

I mentioned earlier that today (April 20/2025) is RESURRECTION SUNDAY - LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THE PERSON T-RUMP WORSHIPS THE MOST - HITLER - IS NOT RESURRECTED. WHILE WE ARE IN CHURCH, SYNAGOGUES, TEMPLES, MOSQUES, and other SACRED PLACES, DRESSED IN OUR FINEST, THAT WE FOCUS ON THE RE-BIRTH OF OUR BLESSINGS, DREAMS, AND HOPES; ALONG WITH THE EXPIATION OF OUR SINS AND CONFUSION, THAT WE REMEMBER OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE TO GOD FOR SALVATION, RENEW OUR FAITH IN HIS MERCY, AND EXTEND OUR LOVE AND UNITY TO EACH OTHER - AND, of course - PRAY THE D-EVIL BACK TO HELL!! NOW THAT YOU KNOW - WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? STAY BLESED & ECLECTICALLY BLACK

GDWEVENT ALERT: ICYMI - THE ACTION IS IN NYC APRIL 2 - 5 AT NAN's 2025 CONVENTION - You/We Must Be There

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 23:13:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Now that I have your attention, let be clear, there is no time for cutesy headlines. WE MUST BE AT THE NATIONAL ACTION NETWORK CONVENTION next week - our very lives, our future and our well being depends on it. This is no time to sit on the sidelines and hope that Rev. Al will take care of it; or that you can just wait it out until T-rump and his ilk get tired of screwing over our rights. As Reverend Sharpton has announced on several occasions, the Convention is free to attend. But I'm going to add that you should bring your courage, insight, unity, and ideas.

As you can see, the theme of the convention is BEING A LIGHT IN DARK TIMES. It's not new to Black people - we've always been the ones who have had to stand in the breach when the rest of society - politically, mentally, racially, legally, socially, emotionally, have gone to the brink of disaster. In the midst of their megalomaniacal insanity - we've had to pull them back from the edge, so that we don't end up at the bottom of the chasm with them. You'd think they'd be grateful, vow to never do it again, and make sure that we have all the rights, freedoms, rewards (reparations) due us. But NO! We get a lull and then the ultra reich-wingnuts (who have secretly been plotting in the background for another hostile take over) start their madness all over again.

And this, sadly, is where we are now. From voter suppression, dismantling of education, social security, Medicare and Medicaid, mass firing of people, hijacking people to mass incarceration; there are so many things that have transpired - all done in what could only be called a "blitzkreig" so fast that you have no time to respond or deal with it before they come up with another atrocity.

We must now come together with our disciplined minds and undo the damage, while simultaneously returning to or inculcating the qualities and methods of our ancestors to rise above and develop our own priorities. Bring your best minds and best ideas, and be prepared to sit down and collaborate.

Highlights of the NAN Convention include:

Rev. Sharpton's list of luminaries is a veritable whose who in Black intelligentsia and civil rights:

NY District Attorney Alvin Bragg, NY State Attorney General Letitia "Tish" James, Great Civil Rights Lawyer Benjamin Crump, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Diva Patti LaBelle, Joy Reid, congressman/Hero Al Green (D.Tx) are among the special guests and presenters that will attend this year's convention. But don't come to gawk, or for the autographs - come to learn, come to share, come to interact.

One of many special forums will feature issues surrounding organ transplantation, organ donors, and follow up as it affects Black people. The issues are so crucial that Al B. Sure, Rachel Noerdlinger, Jennifer Jones Austin, and Rev. Al Sharpton founded the Health Equity in Transplantation Coalition (HEiTC).

Leaders of HEiTC will convene on the first day of the National Action Network Annual Convention in New York City, on Wednesday, April 2^nd, to discuss how the nation can lift historic barriers to healthcare in general but especially on issues of transplantation. The panel – which will focus on the state of healthcare as well as its impacts on Black America – will feature HEiTC Executive Chairman Al B. Sure!, Co-Founder Rachel Noerdlinger, Senior Advisors Rev. Al Sharpton, Jennifer Jones Austin, and NYC Council Member Justin Brannan, as well as hip hop artist and advocate Freeway. The conversation is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Sheraton New York Times Square, where Rev. Sharpton will gather thousands of NAN members to hear from leaders in Civil Rights, business, government, academia and other fields on the most pressing issues in Black America.

BOYCOTT VS BUYCOTT: Rev. Al has put together the tops in research and economics to determine which of the T-rump affiliate corporations will be boycotted by Black and other consumers. He will announce the plan of action to transform this into a national boycott sending signals to those who disregard our rights. Make sure you're on hand for this momentous strategy.

Rev. Al Sharpton Sharing Words of Wisdom

Did I say this is a crucial period and that we are under attack by some pretty demented characters - including the ersatz president, Secretary General, and many other incompetents who have been deliberately given these positions so they would fail, cause confusion, and detract us from what's really going on? Well, if I didn't, let me reiterate - this is what you're dealing with.

We are under assault - but we are not beaten. We are not going to National Action Network to comisserate or complain; but to organize, strategize, unify, and defeat the efforts of authoritarian mendicants to destroy and deprive us of our rights. It is incumbent on us to put together our collective, considerable intelligence, creative, instinctual imaginations to flip the script - as our ancestors did - to save ourselves, each other, our children and perhaps even the world.


Rev. Al addressed Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Saturday, March 22, 2025 - center is DST International President Elsie Cooke-Holmes, Rev. Al Sharpton, right.

As Rev. Sharpton has emphasized consistently, this is not the first time Black people have had to deal with such challenges as these. While the entire nation is currently under assault, we have learned from our forebarers to lean on our faith, resilience, and unity. This has seen us through so much despite the seeming power of the aggressors. Black people in particular, and people of color have faced down aggressors of every stripe. Even from ersatz presidents.

But through all that, we didn't lose sight of our everyday concerns: health, education, home ownership, employment, equality, civility, and so many other issues that are essential to a happy balanced life. Essentials that are now being sabotaged by reich-wing maga - but essentials we must protect despite their efforts. NAN will be covering these issues during the convention.

or call: 877.626.4651

There is an old saying: IF NO ONE ELSE WILL SAVE YOU, SAVE YOURSELF!

THIS IS THE VERY PRINCIPLE UPON WHICH NAN IS FOUNDED

WE HAVE TO BE OUR OWN HEROES - OUR OWN SALVATION

EVIL DOESN'T DISAPPEAR IN IT'S OWN

SO MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS TO BE THERE: ON POINT, ON PURPOSE

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker Announces A Spectacular Housing & Development Program

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 15:02:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All:

From the moment she took the reins of office as Philadelphia's first female mayor and its 100th Mayor, Cherelle Parker has been a breath of fresh air, and a force for good. Her hands on, can do attitude - getting out into the community, making personal appearances in community based programs, giving personal updates at churches, schools, community centers, as well as maintaining amicable interactions with the City Council - something few of her predecessors have done.

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker - 100th Mayor of Philadelphia

After months of diligent study, bringing to bear all the subject matter experts necessary, on Monday, March 24, Mayor Parker revealed her comprehensive Housing Program for the City of Philadelphia - and boy, was I blown away - as I'm sure those in the City Council Chamber were as well.

I could try to tell you all the programs Mayor Parker is bringing to Philadelphia, but then you'd miss the enthusiasm, passion and diligence she and her staff brought to bear in putting this monumental project together.

Not only did she bring expertise from the various industries of construction, social services, senior living, disability and accessibility requirements, but she brought former Secretary of HUD, Marcia Fudge, as a consultant to ensure she was on the right track in her innovative concepts to make her vision of ONE PHILLY A UNITED CITY a reality.

March is WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH - and what more exemplary figure of a woman who deserves to be honored than Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker - from Educator, to State Representative, to City Council Representative, to First Woman Mayor of Philadelphia - she has more than made history, she's an example to other mayors on how to be a compassionate leader as well.

When it became apparent that T-rump was brutally and illegally purging highly skilled employees from DC, Mayor Parker took a trip to Washington to recruit those who would be of benefit to Philadelphia. She's always on high alert to bring beneficial programs and people to Philadelphia, while also cultivating Philadelphians in various programs and positions.

Those who know me, know that when I'm enthusiastic about an individual or a program, I try to make sure others are aware of them as well. Too often our brothers and sisters are given short shrift in the mean stream mediocre media, if they're mentioned at all.

For that reason, instead of doing sound bytes for those with microwave mentalities, I try to make sure I give as much of an overview as possible. For this reason, I'm including the link to her presentation to the Philadelphia City Council. I think, as you watch this, you will see that Philadelphia is blessed indeed to have Cherelle Parker as their 100th Mayor:

Now that you've viewed the link, if you're a Philadelphia resident, this would be a good time for you to start thinking of what it is that you can do to contribute to the growth and development of your neighborhood. Also please share this with your neighbors and youth in the community to hopefully inspire others to be involved as well.

ICYMI: Congress can enforce section 3 of the 14th Amendment! What's taking them so long???

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 05:42:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All!

I would like to say I hope you had a great holiday - but I can't! At least not until we get this madness straight.

It appears that there's plenty Congress can do to prevent the predator in chief from taking the oath of office and becoming a dictator - further advancing his treasonous actions; but they don't seem to have the will to do so.

And I'm furious that we've kicked this can so far down the road!

And I'm not just upset with the Dems in Congress who can actually get the job done without the repuglycons; but also because this information is being given to us in drips and drabs via the political podcasters. Clearly the meanstream mediocre media menials have no intention of tell us that this is an option. Their bosses, the corporate media who are cronies of the liar in chief, have probably put a gag on their ability to tell the truth.

So I'm providing you two of many links to podcasts that focus on the 14th Amendment/Section 3:

1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pARefQ8Dmvw Prosecutor on whether Trump is BLOCKED from taking oath of office Bryan Taylor Cohen's guest was so busy trying to show all the different angles - afraid to make a stand.

2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmzK3-dhsG4 Lights On with Jessica Denson demands the 14th Amendment Section 3 be upheld (She is one of the few who is standing up to the Congress and demanding they take action. Many of the so-called lawyers equivocate because they're afraid of possible repercussions from the predator in chief!)

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is not new! It's been examined now for at least half a year - well actually since 2020 when the jackass in chief rallied hoards of fools who believed his lies about the votes being stolen. Then the litany of mental masturbation over and over and over again about this where people can't actually decide that T-rump is not eligible and cannot serve or allowed to become the president.

So for your edification, I'm posting it here:

Home > Browse the Constitution Annotated > Fourteenth Amendment—Equal Protection and Other Rights > Section 3—Disqualification from Holding Office

Browse the Constitution Annotated

Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights

Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
- Amdt14.S3.1 Overview of the Insurrection Clause (Disqualification Clause)
- Amdt14.S3.2 Trump v. Anderson and Enforcement of the Insurrection Clause (Disqualification Clause)

Who enforces the 14th Amendment?

Fourteenth Amendment, Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

The subprime court has already shown that they are in the back pocket of T-rump - and must be disabled from making any decision about whether or not T-rump can be president. In fact, guess what folks: No where in the 14th Amendment which was established after the Civil War to make sure that no one who tried to over throw the government could or would ever hold office of any kind in the government! There is no where in there that says that the subprime court had to rule. It says CONGRESS can rule!

CONGRESS CAN MAKE THE DECISION AND THEY MUST!

IT'S TIME FOR US TO PUT THIS RIGHT IN THEIR LAP AND DEMAND THAT THEY DO THEIR JOB AND SAVE AMERICA!

This is something a second grader could figure out without all the verbiage that has been going on over the past few months.

And guess what folks? The shoe is on the other foot: Vice President Harris can actually refuse to certify the Electoral College while this is being given the scrutiny it deserves! And I want to go on the line and say that if she certifies T-rump's election, it is an act of treason on her part. As a prosecutor, a lawyer, and investigator and and attorney general, she knows that she cannot throw America under the bus when all the evidence points out the culpability of this mendicant and his ineligibility to hold office - there is no way she can, in clear conscious and in the service of her country, that she can certify this election. And Subprime court should not MUST NOT be allowed to have any decision making position because it is clear that they are in and of themselves, by their very acts, UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ENEMIES OF THE STATE.

So I am requesting that you call or write or meet with or all three your CONGRESS MEMBER - immediately, if not sooner - but definitely before they return to congress - while the Dems are still in the majority - and demand that they invoke Section 3 of the 14th Amendment!

It has to be done now - today - December 29, 2024 -

This is not something you can meander about! This is an emergency -

In case you don't have the info, I am providing the link below for you! If you know your address, and your state and city - it's a simple matter to find your rep. Write them, call them, share this info with your neighbors, church members and make sure you reach out to them. THEY WORK FOR YOU! MAKE THEM DO THEIR JOBS!! Now is not the time to throw in the towel!! It's time for a DEMOCRAT DECEMBER SURPRISE! TIME TO MAKE THE WORM TURN! You do not want to live four years under a jerk and his menials who are trying to strip you and your family of your rigthts!

SO GET UP, LOOK IT UP AND DEMAND THAT CONGRESS - INCLUDING THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS - DO THEIR JOB AND SAVE AMERICA!

And, after you write your congressman/woman - WRITE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT THEIR CONSTITUANT. THEY SHOULD ALL BE MADE AWARE THAT AMERICA IS WATCHING!!!

WTFU!!

DIRECTORY OF THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

NB: I recently posted in my blog: "America You've been Punked! You've been hoodwinked!" I am so happy that I got such an overwhelming response! Thanks so much! Let's make sure that we keep the momentum going!

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

PS: President Jimmy Carter made his transition today at the age of 100.

Tribute to My Grandmom ZADY WASHINGTON DULAN on her ??? Birthday Updated 2024

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 23:50:00 +0000

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

I originally wrote this tribute to my Paternal Grandmom, Zady DULAN, 10 years ago, in 2014!! Her firewalker spirit has been talking to me for the past couple of weeks - quietly at first (as was her way), then much more insistent over the past couple of days. So I felt compelled to republish it, with some new insights:

Today, December 13 is my Grandmother Zady Dulan's birthday. She was a beautiful deep dark semi-sweet chocolate complexioned Black woman of Muscogee (Creek) Nation heritage. However - unlike most Sagittarians - she was very quiet, most likely owing to her Creek Indian heritage, where women are very obsequious, and beautiful.

GRANDMOM ZADY DULAN

Her trait of quietness was passed down to my Dad, Warner Dulan, Sr., as well as my sister Brenda, brother Warner, Jr., my Aunt Zethel, and her Grandmom Zady's brother, Uncle Booker. They could all be in the same room, and it would be totally quiet - with them never, or rarely, speaking.

Wouldn't you know that the love of her life was this ebullient, loquacious fine Black man of Irish heritage, who talked incessantly - told tall tales, loved to pontiicate and give advice - i.e. my Grandfather, the family Patriarch, Silas Sylvester Dulan I. The result was that my Uncle Adolf Dulan and Aunt Alene took after my Granddaddy; as well as myself, my brother Syl, and my cousin Major. My aunt Mary Dulan - Adolf's wife, observed that you could put the four of us in a room of 1000 strangers, and each of us would know at least 250 of them by the end of the evening. The truth is that we could talk you under the table, if you let us.

While Grandmom Zady might have been quiet, she was never idle. She could cook like anything - and had an old treadle sewing machine that she used to use to make the clothes for my dad, aunts and uncle Adolf Dulan (of Dulan's King of Soul Food in Los Angeles, CA), and all 15 of Grandaddy's siblings who were orphaned when my great grandfather was murdered, and his wife died shortly afterwards.

My Grandfather, Silas Dulan talked enough for the both of them. He could, and often did talk you under a table. I'm sure they were perfect for each other - she smiled at everything he said, and would make soft remarks in response to his statements. They were very happy together; they never argued, but loved each other immensely. They were married for over 50 years, having married when he was 16 and she was 15. Black then you could do that - because our people were raised early on to handle responsibility. Together they raised their four children, and 14 of grandfather's brothers and sisters, who were orphaned when racist, rednecked, white marauders out of Missouri came riding through and murdered my great granddad - Ben DULAN - who had escaped from them and moved his family into Oklahoma Territory for safety. His wife, my great grandmother Anna, committed suicide, leaving the responsibility of raising their children to my grandaddy, who was the eldest at the time.

The sod and clapboard house they lived in had no indoor plumbing; they had an outhouse, and a shed for the school bus Grandaddy drove. Granddaddy was a dairy farmer, but he also raised the best watermelons in Oklahoma!! Grandmom Zady helped him pick and grade the watermelons for sweetness and freshness - Granddaddy sold them off the back of his truck!

There was a creek down back of the house, and a root cellar that she dug so she could cure her herbs, and put up her canned fruit and vegetables. There was this big windmill that was used to bring the best tasting ice cold sweetwater up from the ground; and she used to draw the water, heat it up and then bathe us kids in this big galvanized tub - using baking soda and Ivory Soap.

I loved hanging out there in Luther, Oklahoma and helping her get the eggs from the chickens, plant her garden, and eating those fantastic preserves she'd make - especially on top of her freshly home made biscuits. But my absolute favorite Grandmom Zady dish was succotash! She had a way of preparing it that I have not been able to duplicate. Oops! I forgot to mention that she also made the best ice cream on the planet - using a wooden bucket with a hand crank. Brenda and I "helped."

Quiet as she was, Grandmom Zady was truly the Matriarch of the DULAN family, of which my granddad was the absolute Patriarch. She didn't take no mess! When she told you to do something, you'd better had done it - or the consequences would be serious - even to sending you to get a switch to get your righteous behind whipping. She was a stickler for order. My aunts were total ladies, very accomplished, very well read; my dad and uncle were gentlemen and very well read. There was an order to everything they did - and Grandmom didn't take any excuses. No half stepping in that house.

Her cooking was legendary!! I remember her cooking mile high biscuits, home made syrup, home made ice cream, churning home made REAL BUTTER, fresh cream; fresh pop corn popped on top of the pot belly stove! I remember the kerosene lamps and soft lights. She used to chop wood and fire up that old wood burning stove and make magic. There was a long plank table, and we all sat around it waiting for the food to be served. I could hardly wait - I loved her cooking.

In fact, it was her cooking that inspired my Uncle Adolf DULAN to start his soul food restaurant, Aunt Kizzy's Back Porch, and later DULAN's King of Soul food. You could say that Grandmom Zady was the beginning of an Empire! Greens, Black eyed peas, short ribs of beef, fabulous frien chien We had real cornbread - not that stuff that's almost as sweet as and had the consistency of cake - and enough food to feed an army.

It was almost a sin to not know how to cook in the DULAN family. Grandmom Zady's cooking was all my uncle, Adolf, thought of while he was in Korea. When he came back he had an idea in the back of his head (or in his heart) to one day start a restaurant - or a cook book - featuring all the food he had grown up with, lovingly prepared by Grandmom Zady.

Everyone in the DULAN family learned how to cook on that green enamel woodburning stove, with the cast iron hobs, the warming oven, and the overhang shelf for spices and utensils. We were taught that you could have the fanciest kitchen in the world, with all the modern conveniences, but that did not make you a good cook. My grandmom Zady - like so many Beautiful Black Women of her day - made magic with nothing more than a cast iron skilet, a sharp knife, a wooden spoon, fresh food from the garden; and fresh meat (chicken, beef, lamb, or whatever) and prepare a feast most gourmets couldn't touch!

Like most members of my family (on both sides, by the way) I love to cook! And I'm a great epicurean soul food cook (i.e no pork), but I confess, my biscuits are atrocious - and my Grandmom would agree. She, my Mom Ruby Love, and my Home Economic teacher tried to teach me how to make biscuits from scratch - but I never got the hang of it. It always blew my mind how she could make the perfect Angel Food Cake, Lemon Merengue Pie, succulent turkey, fried chicken, collard, mustard and turnip greens, without a cookbook; and never having anything more than that old green wood burning stove to work with.

We had the best Christmases growing up in Oklahoma in the DULAN family tradition. We would all come together and celebrate each year, alternating between each of the family homes. So it would be Luther, OK for Grandmom and Granddaddy; Olkmulgee the next for Aunt Zethel and Uncle John Q Thomas. The guys would play dominoes, while the women cooked and set the table. Oklahoma City - to my Aunt Alene and Uncle Major; and Oklahoma City again to our house. There would be house gifts, family gifts and individual gifts - and we kids always got something - loved it - we'd have to unwrap the gifts; say thank you and present our gifts. Miss those days - and the rhubarb pies, pineapple upside down cakes, and all the love!!

Missing those days, especially this time of the year when everyone is scattered so far across the US now, the closest thing we have now is ZOOM.

Mid Right, My Mom Ruby Love and Dad, Warner DULAN, Sr.

Bottom Right: L-R: My Uncle Adolf, Aunts Zethel and Alene, and Dad Warner DULAN (My Uncle Adolf made his transition in May, 2017 – the last of the family line, leaving the rest of us in charge o the DULAN Legacy). He was the only Millionaire in the family, having started the famed Hamburger City, and later Aunt Kizzie's Back Porch, followed by Adolf Dulan King of Soul Food in the Los Angeles, CA regiion. My cousins are following in his footsteps and continuing the legacy of my Grandmom Zady's Legendary culinary excellence.

My Grandmom Zady was a stickler for speaking proper English - even though I don't think she went further than the 6th grade herself. If you talked "flat," or were grammatically incorrect, you couldn't finish the sentence until you said it correctly. It's a habit that is so instilled in all of us, that when our kids make grammatical errors, if we are all together, we simultaneously stop them and make them say it properly. On a visit to Oklahoma City, my daughter, Kira's son, Handsome Hugh 5, made an error in pronunciation, and all 8 of us who were there, simultaneously corrected him. It was like having all our voices in stero. He was three at the time, and looked around the room and each us, totally shocked and bewildered, and then ran to his mom's arms. WE all started cracking up realizing how much of Granmom Zady was instilled in us!!

Grandmom and Grandaddy put all Granddad's brothers and sisters, as well as their own children through college - Langston University, Oklahoma's only HBCU in Langston, OK. They all went on to excel as teachers, professors, doctors - and in my uncle Adolf's case, entrepreneur. And even though they'd reached their professional peak, they still consulted Grandmom Zady for advice and direction.

My dad was the only one not to attend college because of WWII. When the war ended, he immediately went to work, having a family to raise (me and later my sister Brenda) he didn't want to waste time. Daddy was perhaps the biggest stickler of them all for making sure we four got our education, but it was instilled in him and all my relatives by my Grandmom Zady DULAN.

My Grandmother used to come to our house in Oklahoma City laden with home made gifts, or things she had ordered from Sears and Montgomery Ward; then she would then sit quietly, as though in meditation, and maybe only say something once every other hour - like "Hot enough for you?" And we'd respond, "Yes, Grandmommy." Then she'd smile and say "That's nice." and go back into the silence.

She was also a stickler for good manners. You'd have to say "Excuse me; or I beg your pardon," and you never butted into other people's conversations without their permission. I'm still working on that one - lol -

I remember when I first became aware of Astrology, and I was looking up everybody's sun signs, I asked my Grandmom when her birthday was - thinking it would be some quiet reticent sign like a Virgo, Pisces, or something like that. When she told me she was born on December 13, you could have knocked me over with a feather!! I couldn't quite wrap my mind around that one - I had never, ever ever seen a quiet Sagittarius before. I think I even had the audacity to ask her if she was sure - lol - like she wouldn't know her own birthdate (she never would tell me the year though - we still believe that a woman who will tell her age will tell anything, and therefore can't be trusted - oh yes, we are a bougie family - don't let the sod house fool you!)

But the more I learned about the Creek Nation that made up the FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES OF OKLAHOMA, the more I understand her and how she raised my dad and his siblings. I also remember it took my dad forever to grow a mustache in order to make him look more grown up because, for the most part, Native Americans don't have beards or mustaches.

She definitely believed in spare the rod and spoil the child - and would send you to get a switch in a heart beat. Grandmom Zady didn't tolerate spoiled brats.

Later, when she and Granddaddy were getting up in age, and too old to handle the farming by themselves, they decided to move into Oklahoma City - I remember being highly confused and upset - what was going to happen to the farm? No one would tell me anything at the time - I think I was about 14 or 15 - but I couldn't imagine them living in Oklahoma City - what would they do? How would we get ice cream and fresh butter and the most important thing, who was going to grow the watermelons???

I don't think I ever adjusted to my grandparents no longer living on the farm. They still owned the land, and my Dad, granddad and uncle used to go out there to hunt - they were pretty good at it too. I went on a couple of them myself - I'm not a bad shot either. Learned from the best!

The early pictures I had seen of her and my Granddaddy show that they were a beautiful couple - of course they were both kids. But her love for us, her dedication and devotion, her mild introverted ways are probably the reason I'm not more of a fire breathing Aries than I already am. I am learning to find my quiet place within myself - and when ever I get to the point that I feel that I'm just gonna burst, I remember the still calmness of Grandmoma Zady Dulan.

I know that she, Dad, Granddaddy, Alene, Zethel are all together now - probably enjoying some of that wonderful home cooking of hers.

So Happy Birthday to Grandmom Zady Dulan - your memory and your positive spirit lives on in all of us. From that wonderful old home in Oklahoma, to the inspiration of Aunt Kizzie's that your cooking set in motion, to the whole host of DULANs who have that quiet, enduring spirit and insight that we've all inherited. Thanks for walking with me when I'm challenged, and my creative juices kick in. We all owe you so much.

Love to you from your first born Grandchild, your crazy Aries Granddaughter - Gloria Jeanne

ICYMI Time for a wake up call: America! You Done Been Punked!! Ya Been took! Ya Been Hoodwinked!!

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 19:15:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

(Vice) President Kamala Harris

For those of you who are unfamiliar with that famous quote: "I said you've been took, you've been had, you've been hoodwinked!" it's from our Black Shining Prince - El Hajj Malik El Shabazz - better known as Malcolm X! The first time I heard it I was in my freshman year of college -I was just beginning to really hear him for real Black then! But now, these words resonate with me for real - or as the kids today say, "for real for real!"

And now that reality is here - big as life and twice as ugly. The ersatz presidential (s)election happened on November 5, 2024 - and T-rump allegedly "won." But even those of us with an elementary school education know the definition of the word "win" and the principle of what constitutes a "win." And it appears that the more modern and "advanced" we become, the less and less the standard

Is is a "win" when a foreign nation (ersatz naturalized citizen) billionaire bribes people to register and vote for a specific individual and political party? Including hosting a $1 Million "raffle," (bribe), as well as and paying a "fee" for each person they get to register repuglycon?

Is it a "win" when millions of mail-in ballots have deliberately not been counted, and no allowance is made for those who may have made an error?

Is it a "win" when ballot boxes in rural areas are "mysteriously" set on fire?

Is it a "win" when the ballots deliberately have the name of only one single candidate - repuglycon presidential candidate T-Rump, but no space or inclusion of the democratic candidate, VP Kamala Harris?

Is it a "win" when voters (especially seniors) are intimidated from standing in line for the polls? Or are prevented from receiving assistance when the lines are too long?

I wonder how many members of the military, overseas workers, and ex-pats ballots come in for Harris, and discarded in order to give T-rump an advantage? Do we have those totals yet? What happens if they've illegally flipped the totals in T-rump's favor?

If it appears that I'm finding this so-called "landslide" win to be too hard to believe - than you're reading me loudly and clearly. Even in sports, a "win" is not a "win" if you cheat, or use unethical, unfair, or illegal tactics to do so. Actually, what happens if that you forfeit the entire contest - you may be fined; prevented from participating ever again in the future! In some instances, you could be stripped of any other medals or winnings, and perhaps even incarcerated.

If it's that serious in the sports arena, in schools, and other areas of normal life, how is it that the same standards are not leveled in the most important role in the US: The Presidential Election?

Something's seriously rotten in Denmark - or, in this case, DC - USA!!

And we shouldn't allow ourselves to be lulled into some sort of perceived betrayal on the parts of those individuals who were solidly behind Harris. There is absolutely no way that millions of women, whose very lives and freedom are at stake, who had donated money, time, talent, intelligence, to suddenly capitulate and vote for the orange faced fool (OFF for short).

But it's not just me looking sideways at these results! It turns out that there are several techies who have stepped forth under the DUTY TO WARN principle, post-election exposing several glaring improprieties that many have overlooked, or ignored, that may well drastically change the outcome - and throw the so-called T-rump "win" into a Vice President Harris VICTORY!

So compelling were their arguments, I've actually reached out to several entities and activists, who may be close to her, to see if they could convince her to rescind her concession and demand a hand recount - immediately, if not sooner. There are those of us - yours truly included - who vividly remember how the presidency was stolen from Vice President Al Gore by the Subprime court after it was discovered that thousands of deciding votes in Florida had been deliberately thrown into the ocean. However, I was given the response that she was not going to do anything! Clearly not the response I anticipated from the reknowned prosecutor, attorney general whose very reputation was built on sniffing out such nefarious goings on as this. How sadly disappointing.

Mind you, though, we can cry foul all day long, but LET'S BE CLEAR, IT IS VP KAMALA HARRIS' RESPONSIBILITY TO FORMALLY CALL FOR A TOTAL HAND RECOUNT OF THE VOTES - ESPECIALLY IN THE SWING STATES.

Our demands won't change the outcome unless she files a formal complaint. SHE HAS TO RESCIND HER CONCESSION AND THEN DEMAND THE RECOUNT - AND SHE HAS A LIMITED TIME TO DO SO. ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION, THEY HAVE TO COMPLY.

MY ONLY CAVEAT IS THAT NEITHER SHE, NOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, NOR AMERICANS SHOULD ALLOW THE DETERMINATION TO BE MADE BY THE SUBPRIME COURT. Never forget the way they stabbed Al Gore in the back in the 2000 election, when it was found that Florida's votes had been deliberately dumped in the ocean. The recount began, after he had rescinded his concession; but all the complaining from the repuglycons about how it was sending a negative message to the country, caused him to try to be the "bigger person" and allow the courts to decide. And they decided all right - for the Bush-wackers.

And if anyone is surprised about this underhanded move on their part, just remember that historically, there have been few, if any, times that they have ever done anything in the behalf of Black people throughout their entire existence - from the beginning of the Constitution, through the Black Codes, through Plessy V. Ferguson, and Roger B. Taney - etc Do you wonder why they would then be so enthused to turn a blind eye to all of T-rump's blatant transgressions while trying to hold Kamala's head below water?

THIS TIME WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS TO THE WALL! THE SHIT SHOW THAT T-RUMP HAS ALREADY SHOWN US IN TERMS OF WHAT HIS ADMINISTRATION WOULD LOOK LIKE, AS WELL AS TE LEVEL OF INCOMPETENCE OF THE INDIVIDUALS HE IS SEEKING TO PUT IN CHARGE OF OUR COUNTRY IS A BLATANT ACT OF HATRED, DISGUST, DISDAIN, AND DEMONIC DESTRUCTION OF OUR DEMOCRACY.

There are many who are sitting on the sidelines blaming each other; or blaming others. However, the fact that these votes were egregiously tampered with is more and more evident. While T-rump is trying to force immigrants - who are here legally - out of the country, at least two predatory immigrants have aligned with him to overthrow the government - using their largesse to underwrite these efforts: Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk!

It appears to me that we are focusing on the wrong emigrants. Sedition is against the Constitution of the US. Most of us don't know what that means - thanks to Ronald Reagan, who was the beginning of the end of quality education, quality programs, quality of life, affordable real estate, and decent wages - a mission that is being carried out with great hostility by T-rump. Anyone who called Reagan the "great communicator," should have their heads examined.

Let me be perfectly clear - we have to turn over every stone available to us - to make sure that we've not been hoodwinked! We know T-rump spent the past four years putting this plan together. But he didn't do it by himself. He has a host of henchmen, co-conspirators - mostly from the uber-rich, uber right wingnut genre, who have put their funds behind developing a 900 page doctrine that is designed to overthrow the government, set them in power, with rank and file Americans in the role of lacky, menials, slaves - and maybe even concubines.

They have made it their business over the ensuing four years to consolidate their plan. They brought together the most nefarious, greedy, underhanded individuals they could buy to make this happen. When T-rump said, "I don't need you to vote, I've got all the votes I need, and you'll never have to worry about voting again," it's because the "fix" was already in. The decks had already been stacked. They've already fixed the votes to begin with!! Why do you think T-rump could stand on stage and fake dance to Ave' Maria for nearly 40 minutes if the fix wasn't already in? How do you think he could avoid being present for his audience of sychophants, leaving them in the lurch with no transportation back to their vehicles, if they hadn't already manipulated the machinery? Why do you think that Musk and T-rump suddenly become "friends" if there wasn't a nefarious plot in the making? The combined efforts of T-rump, Putin, and Musk have made voting obsolete and unnecessary, because they are using other methods to cast votes in their own behalf - just stack the numbers to make it look legal.

WTFU y'all!! We can't continue to bury our heads in the sand. There was no "win!!" Just manipulation.

Point of fact, y'all: I am tired of hearing how the Democrats didn't blow their own horn, or tell their own story. As I've said time and time again - as a veteran of Hollywierd and the TV industry - T-rump, television, and other meanstream media are cohorts. They are related hip and thigh. This is why he gets 10 to 15 minutes, or more, on camera coverage, while neither Hillary, Biden, nor Harris could do the same. He plays golf with corporate media, belongs to the same union as the ersats newscasters, and has probably bought his way through many of their advertising and marketing departments. The Dems could have done the same if theyhad had the same deep pockets, and the same behind closed door camarderie! But he didn't. He's a statesman. Not a political hack. He might have been able to appeal to the greed on the part of most of the American run media - but it was not on his radar - and, sadly not on the radar of his campaign managers either. T-rump knows how to play the "clown" to disarm people and fool them into thinking he had no idea of what to do, could slide under that misconception, while getting away with murder. Then the mediore meanstream media would feed the gullible audience on his clown act, stealing the time needed to really cover President Biden's progress, leaving those gawking at his antics instead of looking at the progress that was being made in their behalf under their noses. SMH

SO LET MET REPEAT THIS FOR THOSE WHO MISS MY MEANING:

PRESIDENT BIDEN & VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS HAVE MADE EXCELLENT PROGRESS AND STRIDES DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION, BUT YOU PREFERRED TO WATCH THE DANCING CLOWN ON THE SIDE, THAN FOCUS ON WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON. SMH -

Make no mistake about this - the media deliberately squelched President Biden's accomplishments. Sadly, though, they did not hire the kind of publicity and public relations staff who could righteously promulgate the great work they were doing. I.E. the rightwingnut media is not your friend; they gave false and misleading information - DELIBERATELY! SO BY WATCHING FOX's false news, you were being hosed. Capice??? They don't tell you how many companies and workers were being stiffed by T-rump - unpaid bill, lowballing payments, leaving folks hanging out to dry - typical T-rump methodology. It's going to be interesting to watch where we are and what we do when (if) he takes office and cuts your or your parents' Social Security, Medical, Medicaid, Pension Funds, etc. But, you can continue to look at the clown and shake your heads, as opposed to demanding Kamala Harris call for a comprehensive hand recount.

BTW: I am so happy that President Biden had the balls to pardon his son, Hunter. I'm laughing myself silly at both the Dems and the Repuglycons. The Dems need to grow a pair - they are actually looking like wimps. This false noblesse oblige is nauseating. By the same token, I'm glad he did another gut punch to the repuglycons. He paid a personal visit to Africa to cement plans for rapid transportation and other future goals. And, most recently, Syria finally ousted their demon dictator who hightailed it to Russia. Despite all the hostile commentaries from the predator in chief, Biden was erudite, lucid, clear, bold - all the things the ersatz president is not. The contrast is abundantly clear. There's much more to come from him - I hope.

From my research, the reports coming from the meanstream media, blogs, podcasts, man/woman in the street, I'm not the only one who thinks that America has lost her complete and total mind if they allow the walking menace to put into position the cast of mendicants he's chosen for his ersatz cabinet. It's not only the technological experts who know there has been tampering with the votes. Additionally, many are beginning to see the wave of hostility emanating from T-rump's crew - those who have already gotten a psycho-patho-logical chokehold on America - mentally, physically and spiritually!

From master news sleuth Roland Martin, to Joy Ann Reid, to Rachel Maddow, to Rev. Al Sharpton, as well as Black and caucasian organizations are coming forth and trying to wake us up, more and more corroborating information is coming to the surface.

ICYMI: I tried to forewarn us during this campaign by posting lyrics from Randy Rainbow, who started as early as 2015, when T-rump first declared war on America by throwing his hat in the ring - but you ignored it. In the early 90s, I began writing in depth articles about T-rump's "Art of the Steal," and his clearly authoritarian NeoNazi leanings; coupled with his underhanded disregard for anyone or anything but his own selfish needs. Long before he really crawled out from the premordial ooze from which he came, he had already begun using his money for evil and dictating his own way - not for good. From his housing complex in Queems where Black people were not welcome, to his holdings in Atlantic City, to T-rump Tower in MidTown Manhattan, he was making his mark on the world in much the same way dogs mark their territory. Those outside the New York City area were unaware of his blatant racist and misogynist leanings. He was more of a joke in those days - at least until he tried to have five innocent young African American youth condemned for a crime they did not commit by calling for their deaths through taking out full page ads in the New York Times.

For those of you who think T-rump personally gave you $2,000.00 each, and saved you during Covid - let's not get stuck on stupid!! When Covid 19 hit, we were stuck! We had a major melt down! It put so many in a bind

YOUTUBE is a major source of research and revelations about the many underhanded things he's done, lies he's told, plots he's hatched. Many of you were aware of these transgressions; sadly, many of you were totally oblivious - or felt there was nothing you could do. Even worse, there are more than a few of you who though it had nothing to do with you. That said, I'm providing links to several short news strips that should be eye openers. I don't think you can afford to sit on the sidelines and not insist on a recount.

I don't think Kamala Harris can afford to go back to DC business as usual accepting a "defeat" and helping evil to make a transition that will lead to the destruction of America, without at taking a stand. If she does, she's not the attorney general we know her to be. I know she smells all that sulphur in the White House. It is time to take out the garbage.

And I'm not alone in this concern. There are many Black people and organizations who are looking to her to come up with a December "gotcha!"surprise. They feel that things are much too quiet because there are (hopefully) investigations scrutinizing the "landslide" that appeared to have put T-rump in the victory seat. Actually, I'm highly concerned about what the members of the FBI think about all this? The ersatz president-elect is looking to dismantle them by putting a walking, talking miscreant in charge of them. You mean to tell me that they are not doing their own due diligence? This could not only be the end of thousands of jobs, but could leave the US even more vulnerable to rampant criminal activities. Likewise, the CIA needs to beware.

And, in case there are those who want to say that T-rump was running for office, fair and square. let me disabuse you of any of those insipid illusions: He was running alright. Running from 34 convictions; running from allegations of pedophilia, running from consorting with enemies of the US government - including Putin, Kim Jung Il, Netanyahu, and others. In other words, in the parlance of the Last Poets: "He was running like a roach running from DDT!" The possibility of collusion rears its ugly head as well, when you wonder how much money was spread to hush up some and buy the cooperation of other members of the repuglycon party, the subprime court, and those big moguls who see the opportunity to divide and pocket the spoils of America, if we allow this oaf to take the oath of office.

Frankly, I am extremely disappointed in Merrick Garland and the FBI, who dragged their feet after the January 6, 2021 assault on America by Maga Maggots whipped into a frenzy by the ersatz president. He should never have been allowed to leave and take the jet to Florida - but should have been handcuffed and bounded over immediately after President Biden was sworn in. And, frankly, how awesome would it be to see this happen on January 20, 2025, with T-rump, Vance, Musk and all the henchmen bounded over for treason, sedition, and tampering with voters rights.

It's not too late. But it will be if we, the Democrats, under some misbegotten perception of noblesse oblige, allow any of these menaces to set one foot back into the White House. It would be redundant to say that the whole world is wondering whether or not the US has lost its complete and total mind. The authorities go after a traffic violator with more zeal and vengeance than they do someone who is literally urinating all over America.

To VP Harris: Let them yell that you're an "election denier" - it is your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO DEMAND A RECOUNT. Others may do so, but it only counts if YOU DO IT YOURSELF. You've already done the tough part - getting yourself out there and campaigning to the people. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US HANGING. There are too many who have expertise, who have already come forth - both Democrats and Republicans - who have said there is more than enough evidence to prove that these votes were tampered with - in such a significant manner that you have actually WON THE ELECTION.

Below are links to several videos discussing the fact that America has been Hoodwinked!

As my grandmother used to say: A word to the wise should be sufficient! It's time for the worm to turn (ps: This is a compilation. It's not exhaustive. I know that several of these people in the videos have already tried to reach out to you. Hopefully you will take action. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!

This is a most crucial time in America - this is a do or be damned time - where inconvenience is a non-issue. If there is a sliver of a chance that Kamala Harris has really won this election, but a conspiracy or collusion of entities have come together to prevent her from taking her rightful place - including the moguls of the meanstream corporate media (i.e the folks who own NBC, CNN, Fox news, etc., who are holding their thumbs on the flow of information to keep Americans dumb about what's really going on); large conglomerates - including supermarket chains, big pharma, and other entities that have direct bearing on our quality of life - have gone lock step behind him to disenfranchise us - individually and collectively.

We should not allow the oaf to take the oath of office - without a complete and total investigation of what he really stands for. His cabinate alone should show you that he is not playing with a full deck. That he has no regard to the safety, progress and wellfare of American, except for his own cronies.

I would find it terribly disingenuous if VP Harris does not demand the recount. It may way make the critical difference between our becoming latter day Nazi germany/Fascist entities, or smart enough to eject barbaric, racist, misogynistic, dictators.

Those of you who received the watered down education left by the Reagan administration, and more recently Betsy DeVos under the T-rump regime, have a lot of remedial education to do. This country did not get where it is by sitting on the sidelines with our hands in our laps. As a people who have survived and endured some of the most unspeakable, unbearable hardships, and are still here to talk about it.

Contact Vice President Harris and tell her to recind her concession and demand the recount of votes in the swing states and other areas where there are obvious questionable returns.

This is a no joke situation. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE - the country you save will be your own!

I'm sharing this with as many people as I possibly can, in addition to publishing it in my Blog - but I urge you to share this widely. And, if you have any direct connect, Please led VP Harris know how much I totally respect and admire her for her valiant efforts! But I think it behooves her to take that one last stance for the people of America - especially those of us who don't have the largesse to sit out four years as Ex-Pats, and make them to the recount - particularly in the Battle Ground States. And give those people who did mail ballots, but whose votes were not counted the right and opportunity to correct and cast their votes as citizens of the US.

ICYMI or you were watching Netflix or Hulu: YOUTUBE VIDEO INTERVIEWS OF WOMEN ASSAULTED BY T-RUMP - WHY HASN'T THE MEANSTREAM MEDIA TALKED ABOUT THIS?

noreply@blogger.com (Gloria Dulan-Wilson) — Sat, 02 Nov 2024 11:51:00 +0000

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

It was the best of times/it was the worst of times - it was the most ridiculous period ever in the history of the United States - well, so far at least. However we have a bright star in the midst of all this chaos and confusion. So, as you read through the info I'm sharing with you, realize that you are in charge of saving the day and voting for the one person who can turn this madness around - WITH OUR COLLECTIVE VOTES, FOLLOWED BY OUR HELP AND SUPPORT!

VICE PRESIDENT - CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT - KAMALA HARRIS

This campaign has been rocking back and forth between insanity and intelligence. There have been a lot of info submerged, that is coming to light. Many are having difficulty making informed decisions about who to select and to eliminate. The link below deals with moral turpitude, and how the info has been buried so that we are not aware of the full risks we'd be taking by allowing the predator in chief to return to the White House for any reason.

Had this information come forth when T-rump was first running for President in 2015, it's possible we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now -or at least I'd like to think so. But here we are - all because of suppression of information about the pass transgressions of the predator in chief that would stopped all this.

During the 2016 campaign, news broke of a young girl who had been the victim of the pussygrabberinchief - at the age of 14. She was approximately 16 at the time he decided to run for president. She decided that it was time to let the world know what had happened to her - so she set up a press conference to tell her truth. However, when the day of the press conference came about, she did not appear. The media was there - but she was nowhere to be found. Though no one wanted to say it, most of us felt that she had been "persuaded " to not appear. Over the next several years I wondered what had happened to her. However, recently someone posted her YouTube interview on my FB page. After viewing the tape, I decided to share it. There are some real heartbreaking moments, and some seriously reprehensible sections that she has endured at the hands of the predator-in-chief. One of the most important hallmarks of the leader of the free world is integrity, and high moral values (at least that's what we were taught.) YIKES! Is all I can say.

In a recent posting of my Blog, I wrote an article entitled: DEAR WHITE WOMEN: DONALD T-RUMP HATES YOU...

I think this more than illustrates a pattern of abusive treatment of women. How terrible. I think that for those who have been vascillating about who to vote for, should definitely see this. It would make it much easier to ascertain whether or not Kamala would be a better choice than the former Predator-in-chief.

Here are the links:

YOUTUBE VIDEO INTERVIEWS OF WOMEN ASSAULTED BY T-RUMP

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=katie+johnson+full+testimony+of+2%2F11%2F16

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkEnVVJSIOs

With all the info and horrific things done to the women of America at the hands of the Predator in Chief - including the overturn of Roe v Wade; and bribing the subprime court to give him dictator status with immunity for any perpetration against America - including sedition, treason, starting a riot, and other acts of evil - it's what we call in the parlance, my "Duty to Warn" American women that it's even worse than you've been told. It's even more pervasive than you would ever imagine.

When he talks about the "enemy within", I think we can take it a major step forward and talk about T-rump being the epitome of RESIDENT EVIL - a dissembler, who uses diversionary tactics to distract you from what is really going on. There is nothing amusing about this. And please believe me, he deliberately hires mediocre people because they won't challenge him, and they're disposable. His demonic meanderings are not mere dementia - even though there are signs - it's his way of throwing us off what's really happening. While we're wondering WTF is going on, he has his henchmen setting up other traps. He has had a lifetime of getting away with whatever he wants by blaming the victim of doing exactly what it is that he is doing. It's classic machiavellian (look it up if you aren't familiar with the term. Blaming the victim is something most Black people are accustomed to after living in a predominantly racist society.

This is a warning to all women - BLACK, WHITE, ASIAN, INDIAN, that this is an individual who has absolutely no regard for anything else except of subduing. He calls it "winning." But "winning" is not winning when it includes bringing a national enemy to help you go against your country! Then it's sedition. Winning does not include taking children from their parents and putting them in concentration camps. Winning does not include partnering with uber rich right wingnuts to dictate and deprive people of their livelihoods and line their pockets with the difference. And winning certainly does not include the most egregious act of getting a corrupt subprime court to take away all the rights of women in order to dominate and dictate their lives. Or having that same court of injustices make it okay to ride roughshod over the country you are pledged to protect and serve, regardless of how many criminal actions are involved. This is looking more and more like a grand conspiratorial effort at a level that most would not see in most television shows or movies on how to overthrow a government 101.

In 2022, during the midterm elections, I wrote and article entitled: "Dear White Women, Donald T-rump Hates You - and so does the supreme court" - they have legitimized his insanity, narcissism, criminality, and treason - they have made it easy for him to get away with venality. I hope these YouTube tape will make it plain as to why T-rump is the worst, and why YOU MUST GET OUT AND VOTE IN MASS QUANTITIES FOR YOURSELVES, FAMILIES, CHILDREN, THE FUTURE. SHARE THIS WIDELY - PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.

That said: We are barely 3 days away from the most consequential presidential election ever - and we still have a miscreant caucasoid who has made it a habit of cheating, dissembling, lying, finagling, threatening, and instigating running against a formidable opponent: A woman who is a stateswoman, former Attorney General, Senator, lawyer, ECLECTICALLY BLACK/East Indian woman; a woman whose value system is tied into virtues that many had thought no longer existed - fair play, civility, tenderness, joy, intelligence, and equity.

Had this been a reputed third world country where dictators ride roughshod over the population; or if it was a situation where we were still smack, dab in the middle of the post slavery days of the US, and reconstruction was just beginning; or we were dealing with the 50s when there was absolutely no rights whatsoever accruing to Black people, then the behavior of the miscreant wouldn't phase us in the least. Most of us would just shrug their shoulders and wonder how she even dared to run for the office of President of the United States against a caucasoid.

But we are in 2024 - we are a "civilized society." We fought hard for the rights we have; but they are being systematically, deliberately, and sometimes brutally - taken away by a group of individuals who have been given a lofty title they do not deserve, nor exemplify: The Supreme Court (aka Subprime court). There is obvious collusion happening among them and the predator-in-chief, because, instead of upholding what is purported to be the law of the land - the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES - carved out by the founders (also known as forefathers), to provide guidance for all the citizens who would eventually populate this continent - a continent, I might add that was invaded and taken away from the original inhabitants, without so much as a 'by your leave." But, we now inhabit what has evolved into one of the greatest, most powerful, profitable and popular nations on the planet - to date. And there appears to be a cadre of multibillionairers who are poised to cut it open and divide us up like a watermelon.

Like so many of my African American brothers and sisters, I was born and raised here. However, our forefathers and mothers were forcibly brought here from their happy homes in Africa - where they were minding their own businesses. Four hundred years later, after going through every kind of possible hell imaginable, we have managed to evolve into some pretty awesome people - intelligent, creative, articulate, educated, erudite - despite all they have tried to deprive us of to the contrary.

We've done so well following our tradition of lifting as we climb. Over the past 400 years many have risen among us to great success. KAMALA HARRIS is one of them. She has risen amongst us as proof that we have the capacity to succeed regardless of the odds. It is why we are coming together to exercise our right and responsibilitu to exercise our right and responsibility to vote to make sure that KAMALA HARRIS becomes the First Woman President of the US.

Did I say "VOTE?" I should have said that while many of us are Praying to God, beseeching Him/Her every day, making altar sacrifices; there are those of us - including yours truly - who are ardently praying the DEVIL BACK TO HELL. We are praying with our votes and our voices to stop leviathan in his tracks, and bring America back to stability.

WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT KAMALA HARRIS IS ELECTED BY A LANDSLIDE! WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A TSUNAMI OF VOTES BY DECISIVE MARGINS -

WE ALSO HAVE TO ENSURE THAT NO SUCH FLUKE AS ELECTORAL COLLEGE COUNTS; OR RAMPAGING MISCREANTS CAN BE BROUGHT AGAINST THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. So we must be on our guard and not turn a blind eye to what is going on. Oh yes, BTW - do not allow the subprime court to make any decision about who won - if it comes down to that. They are clearly not qualified to do anything that is in the best interest of Americans.

AS NEW YORKERS SAY: IF YOU SEE SOMETHING (wrong) STAY SOMETHING - I.e. Don't just stand there with your mouth open, frozen like a deer in the headlamps! YOU/WE HAVE A DUTY TO WARN! And after we do that, as FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA SAYS: DO SOMETHING!

But take a cue from history and don't make the mistakes Jews in Germany made in the 1930s when Adolf Hitler had amassed his own resident evil army and raided, massacred and destroyed millions of Jews. Most people sat there and rationalized his behavior - and assumed that it was not going to happen to them. I have no idea how many of our Biafran Nigerian brothers and sisters assumed they would never be harmed - and ended up nearly being wiped off the planet in the Biafran wars of the 1960s. We can bring it down to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022 - all the signs were there during the T-rump Administration - but they made it about Biden's son's computer and some illusion of collusion.

Sadly, there are still millions of Americans whose belief in the "presidency" has blinded them to the fact that the predator in chief is not now, nor ever was president, nor presidential material. In a regular job, he would have been fired from even the most menial job. He was lucky that he had a Dad with Money - However, we weren't. His collusion with Putin is how he was "(s(elected in 2016 - when he should have gone to jail for tampering with votes. His assault on the Nation's Capitol should have had him in handcuffs immediately - but we allowed them to kick the can of justice down the road for four years so that he could use the ensuing four years to bond even more with Putin and the Heritage Foundation to solidify even more how they were going to grab power and go right up, march into the White House, erect a throne and rule over the US. As resident evil, T-rump has more than 94 indictment against him, and 34 convictions. He's trying to wriggle out of the consequences out of his stupidity

While we complain that Kamala is too honorable, has integrity, is equitable, has compassion, loves people, and operates from a higher standard - while the predator will do whatever he can to lie, steal, cheat (oh, I said that already, didn't I?) - secretly we'd love to see her clean his clock - and make sure he does not become the first dictator of America.

We are actually on the late show. It's interesting that there are still some males who are afraid of having her becoming the first female president. However, other countries have had women in leadership roles for centuries; women who have successfully run entire countries without a hiccup. Such Women asthe great Golda Meir of Israel, indira Gandhi of India, Saara Kuugongelwa Prime Minister of Namibia (who graduated from my Alma Mater Lincoln University (PA); Katerina Sakellaropoulou, President of Greece and several others, prove that women can, have and are doing great jobs in leading their countries.

KAMALA HARRIS WILL BE AN EXCELLENT PRESIDENT AND WE DEFINITELY NEED HER TO GET US BACK ON TRACK AND MOVING FORWARD!

While the people who are in her corner are a decent sort, they would like nothing better than to have her take off the gloves and clean his clock. But they don't because they have scruples. In the interim, because he knows he is in absolutely no danger from any act of violence on their part - the miscreant in chief has faked two pseudo assassination attempts against himself - trying to get sympathy for the devil. While he is rolling around with a false sense of bravado - she is calling to make sure he's not harmed, President Biden has doubled the security to make sure no harm comes to him. Very slick.

I voted early. I put nothing past the orange face fool - OFF - and I am well aware of the shenannigans of Dejoy - his plant in the US Postal Service; and those who is to still carry out his nefarious plans to dismantle the US postal system; misdirect ballots by mail; slow down deliveries - etc.

By the way my Puerto Rican Brothers and Sisters - make sure you don't get talked out of voting for KAMALA. Also to my Cuban brothers and sisters, as well as other Latino brothers and sisters - vote for KAMALA HARRIS - btw - It's obvious that I am definitely partisan.

You have to VOTE BLUE - NO MATTER WHO - PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, SENATOR, REPRESENTATIVE - ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LINE.

For those of you who have already voted, please turn around and help others to do so. We need all hands on. Contact your local Bureau of Voter Registration and find out where your help can best be utilized.

Text, call, email, message to all your friends and familiy
