Presidential Debates 2020: Joe Bidden

#PresidentialDebate For me I knew what I was gonna get from @realDonaldTrump tonight. The question is, can @JoeBiden handle #DonaldTrump in a debate? Is he tough enough. Or is he too old & decrepit, mentally unfit & weak? Not-@-all Despite #DonaldTrump interruptions, he was solid #PresidentialDebate Was great for television. Finally something to watch. Look at the viewership @seanhannity @MSNBC @CNN STOP being #oldfashioned & archaic. #Joe passed the bar & even helped to change my mind about him. I hate how #trump attacked #joe son. It was not a good look #PresidentialDebate2020 Hey @JoeBiden you did great tonight... BTW the next time @realDonaldTrump asks you to name one #officer that has endorsed you, you may want to say... I’m not looking for their endorsement, ‘um’ looking for their vote! & I got a lot that’s gonna vote #bidden #PresidentialDebate @realDonaldTrump was trying to trap @JoeBiden, interrupting incessantly to confuse #joebidden to make #joe look ment

#Trump’s Message to White Supremacists: “White Boys Stay Back and Stand By!”.🤔 For What?

#Wednesday #BreakingNews: #Trump waivers on and failed to deny #WhiteSupremacy! The President’s message to #WhiteSupremacists: “#whiteboys STAY BACK & STANDBY!” @realDonaldTrump standby for what? What are your guys concocting or planning! You call forlaw and order  but for WHO? You falsely claim that #Biden supports #Antifa and that antifa is somehow mixed up with the Black Lives Matter Movement and the Dems and then encourage your supporters and #whiteboys to stay put or stand by. President Trump seem to be setting the stage or single-handedly trying to use civil war to stay in power. He is creating a narrative that is reaching a tipping point where there will be blood. He is creating a false scenario saying that there are white spremacisits just as black supremacists - Antifa.  I’m very suspicious of #donaldtrump. He commenders his followers to flood the polls and create falls stories about election fraud before it has begun and then refuses to commit to accepting the results of

“A #Great Civilization Is Not Conquered From Without Until It Has Destroyed Itself From Within” (W. Durant

“A #great civilization is not #conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within” (W. Durant).  I was reminded of this while watching the Prime Video Movie #Apocalypto. I’d recommend that y’all watch it.  Now If #Trump, the GOP and their Croines want “ America to be Great Again”, they may want to first stop the bleeding from within instead of applying tactics that exacerbate the wound and destroy what’s left of American greatness like that of the Mayan Kingdom. Great civilizations fall because of leaders and their supporters who share and defend their wild ideologies that put people against each other and stifle diversity and liberalism.  A great America is a strong America that looks out for all its peoples so that they can be resolute in defending any attack from without. Black lives matter and so does white lives. Women are independent and firm just as their male counterparts. And  the freedom to express our uniqueness  in various forms without denigrating or denying

“People” Are Talking About “Black On Black” “Crime” As If It Nullifies Any Conversation About The Issue Of Police Violence”!

“People” are talking about “black on black” “crime” as if it nullifies any conversation about or the issue of “police violence” on black lives. But, “brother killing brother “ has always been here since “God” made Cain and Able. And we get that, “brother killing brother” is bad and may seem antithetical or contradictory to BLM Activism. Nevertheless we must work equally as hard, to eradicate it.  But what’s worse or adds “insult to injury” is when those charged with upholding the law abrogate their duty and practice racial injustice. And We must truthfully confront our history of racial injustice before we can repair its painful legacy of police violence. Therefore, we must work even harder to abolish it.  Further and more importantly, Police violence and vigilante justice on black lives must stop because it affects police moral authority and reduces any currency and credibility they may have left to serve and protect all. In effect, creating lawlessness and disorder; setting th

Overturning Past Decisions Of The Supreme Court By Putting A Rightwing Judge on The Bench Is Not A Clear-cut Deal

Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a federal appellate judge and Notre Dame law professor, is a proven conservative with a compelling personal story who has long been atop.  President Donald Trump's   Supreme Court short list.  Amy is the  mother of seven children and a former law clerk to the late right-wing beacon Justice Antonin Scalia, Barrett, now 48, was a finalist for the Supreme Court spot that went to Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.   she has demonstrated her conservative bona fides on Second Amendment gun rights, immigration and abortion.   Advocates on the far right have backed her possible nomination because of her writings on faith and the law. Religious conservatives were especially energized for Barrett. Now, if the plan is to elect a #conservative #justice who would join the other conservatives on the #supremecourt only to overturn #RoeVWade and other “bread and butter” issues that are pro liberal with a simple vote you got it wrong. New arguments will have to be presented that debu

How A Black AG Betrayed BlackLivesMatter

#Thursday #BlackLivesDontMattter #BreonnaTaylor #whitekillers who happen to be #police were found not responsible for her shooting death when police shot & killed #Taylor as she sleeps in bed in her own home. There is no #justice not for #BlackLives under attack. Must we #riot? You see how the #statusquo hold onto to or advance their #power? They prop up a few #lumpenproletariat or #blacks, giving them a headline night at a #GOP #convention then turn around & manipulate these #simpletons into making decisions that advance the #status quo.  In effect, The #black #KentuckyAG did a #quidproquo acquitting the police of all wrongdoing and accountability in the shooting death of #breonnataylor. They say “one hand sweetened the other” and #DanielCameron needed to return the favor to those calling for the police to be exonerated from #breonna’s shooting death. Thereby corrupting the justice system.  The #AG is black so we should believe that race or power was never a factor. But we kno

RBG’s Death: A Loss Or An Opportunity? It Is A Matter Of Right Perspective

RBG Death May Seem As A Loss To Progressives, But Is Actually An Opportunity for Democrats To Take Back The House And The Senate this November, it is a matter of perspective! The  chance to pick the next Supreme Court Justice and tip the balance of power on the court more right, possibly threatening certain monumental equal rights issues and undermining some protections such as Obamacare and Roe vs. Wade, abortion and gay rights among others, may seem like a win for the GOP and Trump.  But while this may be true, what is also true is that this also creates an opportunity or a possibility of a win for the Dems.  While it may seem as a “good” thing it may also cost the GOP and Trump the election and many elections to come if they were to pick a justice before the election making the court a very right court. This will mean the greatest turn out ever this November 3, 2020 at an American election.  This pick will will mean that the right controls the Courts, the White House and the

Breaking Ruth Bader Ginsburg RBD Has Died!

#Breaking #RuthBaderGinsburg has died at #87. This juggernaut #justice will sorely be missed. And now another #politicalbattle begins... It’s difficult to mourn #RBG death & not think about what it will mean in terms of the major shift in the #balanceofpower in the #justicesystem in #America. Even if #Trump’s looses the #election he would have done something historical: #Shift the balance of power more #right! 6-3 Who is RBG?  Ruth Bader Ginsburg @realDonaldTrump deserves the right to pick a #SupremeCourtJustice. He has the votes. #Obama had the pick but never the votes to get his #supremecourt pick #Garland at a #lameduck political time. It is pseudo-appeal for #dems to point to 2016 as #DejaVu all over again it is not! @CNN #Tuesday #Dems are woefully bad @ strategy. They waited until #Obama was about to get out of office to exercise their justice pick & RBG should have stepped down since Obama when she first got ill. Now they’re in a tailspin about back-to-back justice picks

Breaking: US Bans Freedom of Expression, Is America An Autocratic-Socialist Country?

On Friday The #US #Banned a form of #FreedomOfExpression.  View Story Here   You’d think the US is a Democratic country, unlike #China & #Russia that’s more or less autocratic-socialist. But today #Trump signs #ExecutiveOrder blocking #Tiktok uploads. Yet the #GOP claims to be against #Biggovt in #americanlives. But the President did this either as a vendetta to settle a campaign score or to strengthen a particular power base or monopoly. Moreover,  Administration officials called the bans necessary to protect national security and prevent Beijing from exploiting the apps to collect user data or disseminate propaganda the yet president defends Russian interference in our election and complains that Facebook is bias and interferes in free speech. And he is here interfering in it himself. Why would he complain about Facebook doing it but is signing an order to band free speech and expressive media.  Unless he is pharisaical and hypocritical and wants a freedom of expression that ser

Breaking Dozens of Yellow Cabs Blocking Traffic on Brooklyn Bridge

On August 21, 2020 Taxi Drivers shut down traffic around city hall NYC to protest a lack of aid, and continued on to medallion creditors who still demand payment.  Today they are continue their protest as  Dozens of #YellowCabs Block #Traffic on #BrooklynBridge to voice their demand for help from the mayor.  COVID-19 has dried up most of their fares, and creditors are still seeking money for their taxi medallions that have plummeted in value. The New York Taxi Workers Alliance organized the rally, which proceeded from city hall to buildings of taxi loan creditors in Long Island and New Jersey.  The organization estimates ridership has dropped between 80 percent and 90 percent during the pandemic.  According to the drivers, “the brokers, the mayor the banks, they all said they would take care of yellow medallion taxis, but instead, the TLC [Taxi and Limousine Commission) didn't tell drivers the medallion was going to drop from hundreds of thousands of dollars to only $83,000 — leavi

Businesses Are Duplicitous? They Promote BLM While Continuing To Discriminate Against Blacks At Work!

Many NYC Businesses are #Duplicitous; they claim to support and promote Black lives matter while continuing the practice of discrimination against Black people at work. These employers get away with this practice because discrimination is easily hidden in a system of pretense where companies promote black causes while hiding behind the veil of that cause or black friends.  Moreover, the impact of the Idea of American Capitalism and democracy embedded in our psyche, (that we are better than others, that all are free and that life is a perfect competition with equal opportunities for all,) is an illogic or false truth that perpetuate this illusion within the Minds of the unassuming public that blinds us to these unfair practices.  However, some  biases in the work place are less obvious than others according to John Scwartz who conducted a study on “Why we’re not seeing any progress on diversity at work. He said that:  Fairness, for example, is often tracked through looking at acc

News Just In: Jacob Blake No Longer in Shackles. Black Freedom Is Still Proving To Be An Illusion!

News Just In: Jacob Lake is no longer in Shackles. But why was an innocent paralyzed black man chained to his hospital bed in the first place? He was shot in the back several times for what? Appearing to be dangerous as he was getting into his car possibly to retrieve a weapon or he had a weapon the investigation is still pending. This sounds like “BS”. Which civil, decent and just society does that? This is draconian and insensitive to its core. It assumes guilt without the presumption of innocence. It proves Black Lives Don’t Matter. Is Jacob Blake not human? Is he not a “real American”?  Smh 🤦🏾‍♂️ is #Rittenhouse, the white 17 year old boy who killed 2 peaceful protesters, is he shackled? Why was #Blake in #shackles in the first place? But only to serve as a reminder that we think we are free but we are not. We can be shackled or reigned in at anytime. We are #Slaves.  That’s what this is, where you put a wayward dog back on leach to tame him if he’s become too free & wayward.

“ASS-U-ME” & The Fierce Battle Between Identical Twins And The Assumption Threatening Division!

Image
“ASS-U-ME” really do make an ASS out of U and ME, especially when no one gives “benefit of doubt” or take the higher road or perspective. But understanding this common “principle”of engagement and interaction is indispensable to  preserving the integrity of the transaction or interactions and discussions between parties. Parties who must also safeguard against hurting strong ties which usually exists between some participants in debates and other types of human exchanges. I was recently blocked by my twin brother from calling or texting him following a debate or an “exchange” we had via a text group about “why I write” or better yet “why I Blog”. Yes you heard right, my twin brother blocked and boycotted Me of all persons!  A little bit about what I do. I blog freelance, since 2010, when I started my second masters at Penn, as a way to develop my thoughts and writing and maybe publish a book. But lately I’ve been writing and blogging much more since my intention to finish my P
