Growing OLD in AMERICA is a two-sided curse and blessing... I retired on social security and a "Cadillac" defined benefits program in 2002. What seemed like a guaranteed golden age retirement in 2002 is now causing me and many other older retirees to realize that not only does age catch up with you, but also inflation!

Dear Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi,
Thank you for your many years of dedicated service to our country and for your unwavering commitment to advancing women’s rights.

Your leadership and advocacy have paved the way for greater equality for women and inspired generations of women to come.

We all should be grateful for your courage, vision, and the positive impact you have made on our nation.

With sincere appreciation.

WHAT DOES AMERICAN IMPERIALISM LOOK LIKE IN 2025 UNDER TRUMP MAGA INTERNATIONAL AGRESSION?

IT LOOKS LIKE AN ATTEMPT TO SUBJUGATE BLACK AND BROWN COUNTRIES WITH HUGE "OIL" PRODUCTION. STEALING THE MONEY AND CALLING IT SAVING WHITE NATIONALISTS AND AMERICAN DRUG ADDICTS...

Yes, Nigeria has significant oil production and is Africa's largest oil producer, extracting oil from onshore and offshore fields. Its production has been increasing, with recent figures around \(1.7\) to \(1.83\) million barrels per day, and the government has set targets to reach \(2\) million barrels per day by 2027 and potentially \(3\) million by 2030. Current production: Nigeria's daily output is currently around \(1.7\) to \(1.83\) million barrels, a figure that has climbed due to increased security measures and other reforms.Production goals: The national oil company, NNPC, aims to increase production to \(2\) million barrels daily in the next two years and \(3\) million barrels daily by 2030.Key areas: Oil production is concentrated in four states: Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers, and Bayelsa, which are located in the heart of the country's petroleum province.Economic importance: Crude oil is critical to Nigeria's economy, accounting for nearly two-thirds of government revenue and over 80% of foreign currency earnings.Challenges: The industry has faced challenges such as oil theft, unrest, and underinvestment, but these issues are being addressed through security crackdowns and reform efforts.

Congratulations to the Democrat victors on this November 4, 2025, election day who did a good job of kicking GOP and Trump butt as voters of all races, religions, sex/genders, and economic statuses repudiated the imperial presidency of DJT!

I am giving a direct shout out to Omega Psi Phi Fraternity member Jay Jones on his difficult battle and ultimate victory in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

More and more members of the Divine Nine (Black fraternities and sororities) are taking leadership positions in the politics and leadership of civil rights and worker rights! Those who take aggressive positions against those who are they see to be evil and dangerous often find it difficult to hold back their emotional anger - including me - and say things that they get criticism for but they have shared their Truth and I am sure that God forgives them quickly when they apologize... :-)

Clearly we are now being screwed at every turn by a fully bought and out of touch Roberts Supreme Court that has little respect for the rule of law, and less respect for the poor, working class, and middle class Americans who do not have great hope or expectations of being invited by Donald Trump to dance in his soon to be completed gilded ball room and potential memorial to those who helped him destroy our "democracy..."

11/03/2025

I try to keep an open mind when assessing blame for atrocities and inhumane behavior that seems to be occurring in so many places in our world on almost a daily basis. Towards that end, I subscribe to and follow a divergent group of journalists and advocates from many different viewpoints, races, religions, sex/genders, and social status and money.

The link below is to one of the writers I follow who is Arabic or Muslim and has as his mission exposing atrocities and crimes against nature and humanity in his blog or Substack column.

There have been complaints filed of war crimes being committed in Gaza-Palestine, Israel, and the West Bank for years, and especially since the attack by Hamas on Israelis on October 11, 2023. I have no doubt that history will record war crimes galore in this ongoing "war," and ultimately some people will be charged as being war criminals and/or complicit in supporting war crimes and brought ultimately to the justice they deserve to receive - just like the N***s tried in Nuremburg.

I do not ask to debate who is the worst war criminal in this ongoing war. I do not ask why the American press is so one sided in how they treat injustices and the death of innocent civilian victims on both sides of the battle lines. I merely ask a simple question:

Do the actions of those soldiers alleged to have sexually abused male detainees in Israel detention centers or gulags appear to rise to the level of war crimes in your view and has been declared by so many nations in our world including some of our closest allies who worked with the United States to help relocate European Jews back to Israel-Palestine?

If verified, our Secretary of State Rubio or his alter ego Steve Witkoff should condemn these acts of sodomizing war detainees as war crimes too...

Now, imagine for just a moment, that the roles were reversed. Do you think this story would be breaking news around the world? All over the headlines? Then why not now?

If eligible Americans do not have the desire, will, or care to vote to protect their own interests in our country, they should just stay home, take another hit of Ketamine or re**er or ecstasy and a swig of Boone's Farm wine, and sit back and shut up and accept whatever real citizens who do vote impose upon them and their children and family members... It's called the "Leave it hanging in the air above you principle..."

When Donald Trump signed an executive order in March asserting radical powers over elections, he invited lawsuits. He’s now losing the court fights.

Have YOU had a long bad bill day too? Then I suggest you take off your shoes, get a Bud Light or a "Singapore Sling," and lean back and laugh for an hour...

Remembering the ups and down during election year 2025? Well I have been too, so I want to remember and analyze as much as I want to forget..

I came across this one hour clip of SNL (Saturday Night Live on YouTube) and it made me remember even some bad things that happened during the 2025 campaign year - IMHO - but this time I could laugh and think of some things that we could do better if we get a chance to do so in 2026 or 2028.

I recommend to all my friends that they grab a glass of Boone's Farm Apple wine and lean back with a friend and laugh along with those Americans who would love to smile again. Make America Smile Again - MASA!

So now Donald Trump and his MAGA Christian Nationalist friends who wanted to get America out of unnecessary wars is threatening a new "Crusade" to Africa (Nigeria and South Africa) to protect some white Christians he claims are being "persecuted?

GOD help us and keep us safe from the infidels dancing in the "white house."

The warnings were there. But many did not believe, and many did not care about where MAGA was taking our country. As is paraphrased in the Old Testament of the Judeo-Christian Bible, "God gave mankind judges, but the people wanted a king..."

Trump may think he is a king, but his job and authority is not to protect his preferred religion (if he even knows what religion he prefers) in countries all over the known world...
