You Gotta Know Who’s Selling the Okie Doke!

I am not usually the guy who uses sport analogies but as far as the November elections go, this will be the best way to understand my thinking. Most non-racquet sports are broken down into 4 quarters. We’re at the conclusion of the 1st half (the first two quarters). It is basically halftime. Both teams,Continue reading “You Gotta Know Who’s Selling the Okie Doke!”

Standing With Israel Does Not Obligate Biden To Stand With Zionism

For several years, I have understood that there has been a great contradiction between what we have been told to believe and how the Zionists in Israel have used fear and propaganda to dehumanize Palestinians over the past 75 years. I began to realize just how the lands of the western hemisphere were stolen from the aboriginalContinue reading “Standing With Israel Does Not Obligate Biden To Stand With Zionism”

While Y’all Asking What You Gonna Do For Me, They Are Playing You

I want to address a couple of current issues in the news. The first issue is reporting that polling indicates that more Black voters are leaning away from Biden and thinking of not voting in November. The other set of polling suggests that more younger Black men may vote for Trump in November. The nextContinue reading “While Y’all Asking What You Gonna Do For Me, They Are Playing You”

It’s Time to Awake From Your Political Hibernation

I first realized it back in 1992 when Bill Clinton won the election for President. That year, George H.W. Bush was a juggernaut until he went over to Japan, threw up and collapsed at a state dinner. Ross Perot got into the race and Clinton came out a head in a 3 way race. WhatContinue reading “It’s Time to Awake From Your Political Hibernation”

The Long Game Has Yet to Manifest

I want to just break down some real truths. No BS, no gaslighting, no alternate facts. The mainstream media keeps reporting to you that Presidential polling indicates that Americans don’t want a rematch between Biden and Trump. They keep telling us that Biden is too old. They don’t seem to have an opinion about ageContinue reading “The Long Game Has Yet to Manifest”

It’s Time to Speak Some Uncomfortable Truths

As I reflect on the year 2023, I feel compelled to address some uncomfortable realities reflected in our lives today. In the Middle East, growing up in America with a ‘Judeo-Christian’ background, I was taught to support the Jewish government in Israel. We were led to believe that Arabs, were equated with Muslims, and theyContinue reading “It’s Time to Speak Some Uncomfortable Truths”

There Is History Most of Us Don’t Know

From Childhood, I was always hearing news stories of ‘Suicide Bombers’ in Israel. Israel, the nation created by UN mandate in 1947. The land once ruled by the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), later conquered by the British, and then partitioned or sold off into separate lands to be controlled by the Zionist and Palestinians. Let’s understand,Continue reading “There Is History Most of Us Don’t Know”
