What’s Really Unfair... Having To Wait Or Not Having One’s Votes Counted?

Over 47 Millions of Americans have voted early mainly via mail-in ballots, almost half of all votes casted in 2016. Covid and Trump have driven up remote and early voting and pundits believe majority of the early votes cast are democrats or for Biden. Trump is challenging some states decision to wait up to 9 days after the election to released the results so as to include mail-in or absentee ballots that may come in several days after Election Day. He argues that It’s not fair for voters who voted on Election Day to have to wait 9 days for mail-in or absentee ballots to be counted to know the results of the election. But how’s that unfair to those voters If you’re votes are still counted! You’d only have to wait a couple more days.  What’s really unfair is if election results are released without including the millions who voted via absentee or mail-in ballots thereby disenfranchising millions of these voters and discounting their rights and votes as merely a waste of time and money.

50 Cent Is Black; But He Is Also Part of the 1% So...

#Wednesday #50cent is #black & he is #voting for #DonaldTrump so all black people should vote for #donaldtrump. But wait! @50cent is also part of the #1% & a member of the #globalelites; so am I to identify with him based on my #blackness when he identifies more with the 1%? #neoliberalism. You see #Race, #Gender, #Sex, #Religion, #Wealth are tools utilized by the #statusquo or those #incharge to maintain or expand their #power. #neoliberalism is a new form of #discrimination where power or the global elites, be it the small core group of white, black or brown people, are separate and apart from their racial communities and engage in global expansionism that imposes itself on their global masses. #50cent and #icecube are more concerned with their power and their wealth and couldn’t care less about how paying their fair share can help their black brothers, the poor and marginal and all America deal with economic inequality and development. Note: By the way, There are those who a

Biden’s Tax Plan Does Not Propose Any Increases Just A Better Fairer and More Equitable System!

#Biden #tax plans proposes one that is fair, balanced & consistent with ones income or earnings. Now if you earn over 400k  & have not been paying your fair share, under the #Biden plan you will. If you were earning 400k & already paying your fair share you’d pay no more! #50cent saw #biden’s #taxplans. The one where he will now have to pay more than what he’s been paying - Less than his fair share. That’s the problem here you know. Once people get to $400k they are unwilling to pay their fair share, they want to hide, cheat and vote for #trump. More on Joe Biden's Tax plans here 

#Trump and the GOP are trying to Pull a Hillary on #JoeBiden

They’re trying to pull a #Hillary on Joe Biden  for the 2020 Election, working overtime to unearth emails about some cover up that does not exist so they bring up #HunterBiden saying ok the the son is a criminal so the dad must be. But then again they have cleared #Hunterbiden from any wrongdoing yet they are pushing the narrative and claiming that the FBI or American liberal agents are working for Hunter and by extension Joe to hide criminality or clear Hunter and by virtue of familial association #JoeBiden of any wrongdoing. Oh how inventive and creative. Moreover, how can we take their word. Donald J. Trump is such a liar, he and his #GOP party. They are so #pharisaical and duplicitous that we cannot take anything they say as fact or truth. Even if they were correct about Joe or Hunter being criminals, no one should believe as they are well known for telling false truths and sending mix messages in order to score a point. But I’ll hasten to say, again, that Hunter is not running, Jo

Who is running for President... #HunterBiden or Joe Biden?

#Monday: Who is running for President... #HunterBiden or #JoeBiden? Who the hell is #hunterbiden and is he on the ticket this November? Naw! So who cares about #HunterBiden!!! I’m not Voting for him, it’s a choice between #JoeBiden and #DonaldTrump. And if you want to talk about fraud and wrongdoing amongst the candidates you don’t need to look far, this country has a #president who is running for re-election who has no #moralauthority to challenge anyone about #wrongdoings or #demons in their closet because he has many dangling in public view before us. So don’t bring up Barack Obama or #Hilary or #Hunter as if they’re running and they matter! Bring up Joe Biden’s sins... but wait, you got nothing much on Joe if anything so the #GOP and #Trumpists try to attack his son a nobody to this #presidentialrace! But then #Trump is so steep in missteps it’s hard for him to throw a stone... if you live in #glasshouses don’t throw #stones! Who is running for President... #HunterBiden or Joe Bide

The Idol Worship of the Second Amendment!

The second Amendment was never established to protect gun owners and lobbyists. It’s there to ensure the preservation of all life above all else where a life is threatened and may need a lethal weapon to defend.  see the second amendment here  But when that amendment is abused and often times endanger lives more than it protect, it then reduces the efficacy and misplaced the aim of the amendment to protect life and question its relevance.  Nevertheless Many Americans seem to support or worship the amendment more than the purpose it serves. They are more protective of the shirt than the man in the shirt; but guns seem to jeopardize innocent life more than it protects it. It is LIFE that needs protection and it is life that the 2nd amendment serves.  The second amendment is a method or a strategy, a life saving strategy, built on the moral and ethical responsibility we have to ensure and preserve life. But when do we revisit strategies and methods of safety? When it fails to mee

Is Character A More Potent Ingredient Than Strategy In Leadership?

Kingsley Grant quoted recently on his LinkedIn page: “Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without strategy, (General Norman Schwarzkopf). However,  John C. Maxwell said #Leadership is #influence; nothing more, nothing less.... Indeed,  it’s the ability to move people to achieve a #goal, and that goal could be anything! But when you can command a group of followers and get them to blindly or clearly do what you want them to do is the idea and aim of leaders or leadership. #Hitler was a leader... whatever the outcome. And #DonaldTrump is an effective leader in terms of having the ability to shoot someone in public and still get away with enjoying the support of his followers. Trump is somehow revered and celebrated as a hero, a bastion of hope for conservative or some white and black people (called Trumpists) and has an ideology called Trumpism. He’s beloved and enjoys the majority if not all of his party support and is funny a

ARE REPUBLICANS THE NEW PHARISEES...?

The deficit has sky-rocketed (now 3.1 trillion dollars) under Trump’s Administration on the GOP watch, long before the rise of the #Covid-19 #pandemic, and there has been nothing but silence from the Republicans!  A party that was once touted as a fiscally responsible debt-reducing defenders is now indifferent to the ballooning debt.  Oh how they castigated and lambasted President Obama for raising the debt by providing a stimulus package in 2010-2014 to help struggling Americans during the economic recovery and to stop the economic free fall following the devastating economic recession in 2008 and ongoing.  The GOP had an obsession with the idea that the bond market would punish the United States like it punished Greece, making the country’s debt burden unsustainable, and soon. Obsession with the idea of frivolous budgetary irresponsibility. “In this generation, a defining responsibility of government is to steer our nation clear of a debt crisis while there is still time,” Paul Ryan,

ICE CUBE GOT IT TOTALLY WRONG!

ICE CUBE Interview trying to clarify his Support of Trump! Laughing my ass off 😂 you know... I don’t know how Ice Cube could’ve allowed himself to be fooled by Donald J. Trump and the GOP when all they have shown to do is to send mix messages and lie. You think you gonna get that 5billion dollars! To help with your black people campaign. 😆 😆. Think again. You’re proposal is 22 pages and the #president’s TWO (2) pages! Now to clarify Roland Martin just reported on MSNBC that #icecube in an interview clarified his support saying he is not supporting Trump’s campaign just his plans on helping his program. But don’t be gullible and oblivious ICE. This is an election year! They don’t want your program they only want a #photo-op!

The Economic Bottom Line Is What Drives “Fracking” Not the Preservation of Life or Safety

President Trump said in a Tweet today: The Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania would absolutely die without the jobs and dollars brought in by Fracking. Massive numbers! Now Biden & Harris, after Radical Left Dem Primaries, are trying to change their stance. Pennsylvania wants Energy and Second Amendment! So unfortunate a comment as the President Is  only thinking in terms of the financial or economic bottom line not “LIFE” the higher order ethical principle. The question should be... is “fracking” or any strategy achieving its purpose or are they doing more bad than good or are they violated and abused by some within a system so that these life saving strategies also provide a front and cover to do selective harm? Mr. Trump, life  is more important than anything else. We have a moral responsibility to protect the life of anyone if threatened. & everyone is innocent without a verdict of guilt. The law & fracking & so on are there to protect life; they are tools or strate

Note To Sen. Kamala Harris.

#Thursday #kamalaharris, I believe you’ll make a great VP or President. But I’d like to offer an advice if it’s worth it. The next time #MikePence critique you as the most #liberal, say “maybe so... probably that’s why I’m not on the #ticket as the #Democratic #Presidentialnominee; that’s why #JoeBiden is the #democratic nominee & I’m his #VP as #Biden is #balanced & #fair; and #America needs #stability right now and the #BidenHarris ticket is diverse, balanced and inclusive and can provide the stability needed so that we can serve #allamerica be it #liberal, #moderate or #conservative, #black or #white, #woman or #man... and our ticket is all that and more! #VPDebate

LeBron James Has Already Surpassed Michael Jordan as the Greatest Player To Have Ever Played NBA Basketball!

Image
LeBron James has already surpassed #MichaelJordan. #LeBron may not get 6 #rings or have a #3peat, but who says that’s what you need in order to be the #GOAT! #LBJ is the complete NBA #🏀 player. And at 35 #MJ was not this dominant. In fact #MJ will never catch #LebronJames. #LBJ dominated the east and now the west. He has played with three different teams and has had success with all three. He makes everyone’s game better... look Dwight Howard ... Lebron’s IQ is so high that he can count on a Dwight Howard when others thought that he was washed up.  See link to stats here  LeBron James is next to none. He is in a class by himself. He is the #GOAT! He’s the greatest player who ever played the game, not because he has 3 rings or have been to 10 finals so far and beaten a 73 win Golden State team when they were down 3-1. But because he is the complete basketball player with such dynamism and flexibility in his game. He dominates on all levels of the game not just as a scorer or leader but

WH Abruptly Calls Off Talks To Help Struggling Americans; But Is Still Optimistic About A selective Deal To Help The Rich

WH is not optimistic about any comprehensive deal to help the most struggling Americans: Unemployed and the poor.  But when Trump abruptly ended comprehensive pandemic-relief package resulting in Airlines and Wall Street squeeling overnight, with the Dow closing at 347 points downward, the president and the GOP reacted walking back on the President’s decision to end rescue talks but limited it to helping the few over the many.   Now they’re pushing a selective “piecemeal” deal that benefits who: the privileged Big businesses - Airlines and Wall Street. That’s the base that really matters it seems.  Struggling Americans are only a factor if and when these Americans affect the economy.  You know Change or help is realized when there are economic benefits and incentives to gain or loose. And if not helping Americans affect Wall Street and the airlines then I can bet you that they will get a deal done but for now there’s no deal for the less privileged Americans struggling in this pandemic

President Trump’s Medical team live update: President Trump Is stable and is to be released....  see Live Video here  #Tuesday if #trump has not learned anything by Now having been judged by #God & touched by #Covid. In fact he appear from his judgement seemingly unmoved &  running the same course. Don’t take God’s patience, grace, mercy & healing for granted; he’ll be judged more harshly!

Breaking: God’s COVID Judgement Hits the White House and The GOP

God is not Conservative or Liberal, The Ultimate is neither Democratic or Republican. For God transcends all and is than that which nothing greater can be conceived or imagined. God is a God of compassion and is all-loving. So don’t mess with God’s people thinking that you can take care of one side at the expense of the other. You will be punished! As is the case now for God is also Just and fair but is angry and mad at those who scoff at Black Lives Matter. Their sin has come back to haunt them. Karma is a bitch someoneone once said. Just over the last 2 days 11 GOP members and their surrogates tested positive for COVID-19 Don’t think that you can play politics with God and his people, and rush through a Supreme Court pick to please conservatives or their “churchgoers”. You tried it and now Mitch McConnell is asking for a 2-week delay as several GOP senators are now falling to #Covid.  You guys always think about what you want not what God wants and the other side want. Now you’re bei

“Society Places More Value On Thinkers Than Doers”.

I was watching CNN with my Fraternal Line Brother (LB) just now. We saw a promo of a new show that CNN is about to premier called First Ladies. It previewed Mitchell Obama and flashed several of her famous speeches and the Fmr First Lady in action across the screen. In one of the speech she said “...everyday I wake up in a white house that’s built by slaves....”  sneek peek: First Ladies CNN My LB latched onto that and raised an issue.... “who built the White House slaves right?”  He then paused and asked Alexa: “who built the White House?”, in an effort to be sure.  Alexa replied “the architect of the White House is James Hoban”.  He critiqued saying I didn’t ask for the architect or the designer.  I thought about it and replied it’s because visionaries, philosopher kings and queens and thinking is more important than the foot soldiers or the doing.... “Society places more value on thinkers than doers”. Case in point: Evolution the process that brought God’s creative and visio

Question: Who Do You Trust More To Tell The #Truth: #Trump or #Biden?

I asked via Facebook @CindyLo: who do you trust more to tell the #truth #trump or #biden?  WAIT FOR IT... yep, I know what you’ll say ... Trump. When all you get is mixed messages and lies. You’re so politically blind that you can’t tell the truth even if it steers you in the face and hit you in the head. So it’s useless even trying to convince you. But others are not so “blind” and devout to dishonesty and political charity like you. Cindy Reaponded saying @Renaldo C. Mckenzie: It isn't the White House or the President that is causing the confusion or misunderstandings.  It is the MEDIA and the video doctoring, cutting sentences off and the LEFT causing the confusion.  I watch unbiased C-span that shows all of the Senate hearings,  congressional committee meetings and Senate sessions. I watch OAN or Newsmax, because that is the only way to get the facts and truth. Unfortunately the MSM is on a collision course fall out and they smear the President and the facts to fit their narrat

Breaking News: White House: Trump is Doing Well! But...

Trump is doing very well! That’s according to White House Doctor Sean Conley who briefed reporters today about the President’s progress since he contracted the Corona virus and had to be admitted to the Walter Reed Hospital in Maryland Yesterday. I hope he’s doing well; you can’t help but question whether this is true or not! You can’t trust anything coming out of a White House that has been bereft with mixed messages, inconsistencies, twisted facts and false truths. It’s like the “Boy Who Cried Wolf”, they’ve lied so much that they’ve shot themselves in their foot and mouths... you can’t believe them even when they maybe telling the truth - cause you can never when that is.... But this is my message to the President in this very precarious time: #Saturday #DonaldJTrump My #prayers are with you. And may you find the time to spend some quiet moments reflecting with #God. May you find healing in this time of #opportunity and #warning! The position you have comes with tremendous #responsi

“Globalizing” the Caribbean Frantz Fanon and the myth of Change by Renaldo McKenzie

The strategy to liberalize former colonies such as Jamaica and Barbados has brought mixed results. Barbados has experienced substantial growth as oppose to Jamaica whose growth has been flat with high levels of unemployment and debt. We argue in this study that Jamaica’s independence is a myth and that they fare worse than other former British colonies such as Barbados and Trinidad, because they (Jamaica) is still helplessly dependent on outsiders for their survival. Decolonization paved the way for neo-liberal globalization. Therefore, this means that we must reassess the influence of the Martiniquan psychiatrist and political scientist, Franz Fanon, on radical Caribbean thought from the 1960 to 1970s. INTRODUCTION Jamaica is putatively an independent democratic nation. However, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, since 1962, Jamaica’s elites have carved out a future for themselves, as they apply “race-to-the-bottom” policies that continue to exclude and extracts their

Religion, Class And The Status Quo

Religion is the use of one created group of people in the world to exact hegemony over the world by ideologically creating and indoctrinating a structure of hierachy in society that reduces the level of power and comfort distributed among  groups of people in the world. However Rev. Michael Cain, Pastor of the Old First Reform UCC Church in Philadelphia differs saying “i think "society" finds there groups odds not in some broad-based rejection of their positions, but more of a confusion about why they are still religious at all or how one can be religious and pro-diversity, democracy, reason, science, openness and freedom. but that difficulty is just a result of how religion has so often been in the past, as you point out...” I disagree as there's liberal Christians these days, iconoclasm is on the rise, anti radicals are now posturing a new kind of faith without hegemony or hierarchy. They embrace science, openness and freedoms. The society finds these groups to be odd.
