I want Kamala and Coach to Run It Back

 

I’m a full Progressive.  But I want VP Kamala Harris and Coach Walz to spin the block and run it back just on principle.  Why? Because these MAGA assholes won’t learn shit if they think they got away with anything.  So, I say, give them a repeat so they can suck it up and learn what the fuck they missed the first time.

They are like that kid who doesn’t want to eat his peas but wants everything else in the world.  So let them get hungry and put that same plate back where they can get it and be thankful for it the second time around.

And then, I want Harris and Walz to do their jobs and pass every piece of progressive legislature they can get their hands on.  That’s what they promised so I want them to deliver.  From healthcare to

Black Folk and Progressives, Stop Waiting For People To Give You Permission

 

Hey y’all. I’ve been doing my new job as a watcher and listener.  There are a lot of great messages out there.  And, there are a few troubled voices.

Generally speaking, I want to encourage you all to move forward to make your own motion to add to the greater good.  For too long, I think Black folk and Progressives in general have been waiting for people to give permission to move.  So, we try to join larger groups before we take action. 

Though it is true that generally there is safety in larger numbers, there can also be greater confusion.   Two of my favorite verses in the Word (this particular reference being in the Bible) gives encouragement even if you don’t have the numbers.

The book of Joshua in 23:10 states, “One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.”  [Joshua 23:10] Meaning alone, one believing in the Word can send 1,000 enemies/demons fleeing.

In the book of Ecclesiastes, 4:9-12 it states that, “Two are better than one; because they have a good

AP News for 7 February 2025

 

This is a quick rundown of some articles I received from the AP News letter.

Forced Leaves of USAID Workers: Trump is forcing thousands of USAID workers to leave their jobs. They operate in different capacities around the world bringing assistance to many nations.  Federal courts work towards halting the effort, but Trump, through the efforts of Elon Musk are pushing forward. <read more>

Trump’s Pick for FBI Leader, Kash Patel, has a roster of foreign clients that could be a problem.  This article points out that it appears Kash Patel has investments that could be potential conflicts of interest for such a position. (He wants to lead the FBI, but doesn't want to be investigated.)  <read more>

Trump Said Nothing About “A Little Pain” When He Was Trying To Get The Job

This has to be said.

Trump lied to Trump supporters again.  And they are the dumbest, most gullible people ever. Not only do they NOT own the libs, but they are also figuratively slamming the door on their own fingers!  Over, and over, and over again.  Then afterwards they hit their fingers with a hammer.  All while looking around thinking they are accomplishing their mission here in ‘Amerka’.  Look up fools, and there they are—wearing those red hats with pride.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I believe Trump told his followers during the campaign “groceries” were going to come down right away—on day one. He also told them he knew nothing about Project 2025, which he seems to be following to the letter. Oh yeah, instead of saying he loved
