This 2024 Election Cycle Has Been Krazy!!! Who Could’ve Predicted What We Saw??? Current President Joe Biden Was All Set 2 Go Head 2 Head Against His Old Foe…, Donald Trump!!! They Had A Debate On June 27, 2024 Where All The World Could See That Uncle Joe Had DEFINITELY Lost A Little Bit On His Fastball. Was He Completely & Utterly Horrible??? No…, He Just Seemed Distant, Not As Clear/Concise As Necessary, & Unfocused!!! I Would Like 2 Take This Moment 2 Give Donald Trump His Due Because I Swear Even His Krazy Azz Took Pity On Ole Azz Joe That Day & DID NOT Go In On Him With FULL FORCE As We Know Only He Can!!!

Then Up Outta Nowhere Based Off Of This Debate Performance, The Cries 4 Joe Biden 2 Step Down Were Overwhelming & He Did Something We Have NEVER EVER Seen Done Before In American Presidential Politics. He Actually DID IT!!! On July 21, 2024 He Relinquished His Right 2 The Throne That He Had Fought So Hard 2 Climb Into Over His Five Decade Plus Political Career. Folks MAY NOT Appreciate It In The Moment, But When We LQQK Back At It Through History’s Eyez…, We Will See How Much Of A Gentleman Joe Biden Was. He Respected The Country More Than His Own Thirst 4 Power; So Just Like That…, We Had Our Next Serious, (after Hillary Clinton), Woman Candidate. A Woman Of Color By The Way, In Line For The Position Of Leader Of The Free World!!!

The Republican National Convention Was Held In Milwaukee, WI July 15 – 18, 2024…, & It Was Much Of What We’ve Come 2 Xpect From This New Wave MAGA Republican Party!!! I Am Still Amazed At The Rhetoric That Comes Forth From This Group As They Stick 2 The Script Of Hammering Away At Their FOX News Talking Points That Sometimes Border On The LUDICROUS!!! It Iz Equally SCARY That Half Of Us As A Nation Believe It?!? This IZ NOT The Republican Party Of UR Father/Grandfather Which Stood 4 Small Government, Business Friendly Tax Breaks, Filthy Stankin’ Wealth, & Conservative Politics!!! This New Regime Iz Into Conspiracy Theories, Rolling Back Women’s Rights, Limiting Civil Rights Liberties, Dismantling Education, No Gun Control Reform Whatsoever, & Full On Non Bi-Partison Support Even If It Means Crippling The Citizens Of America Through Those Very Actions!!! SAY WHUT???

The Democratic Convention Was Held In Chicago August 19 – 22, 2024, With Newly Cemented Candidate Kamala Harris In Place & It Was Like A Full On Party Being Done Up In A Way We Had NEVER EVER Seen Before!!! The NRG & The Vybe During/After The Event Had The Democratic Party As Welll As The World Charged Up 2 A FULL ON 10!!! It Was Dynamic, Amazing, & The Lineup Of Star Power Was Diversely Off The Charts. Now I Can Admit It…, It May Have Been Just A Tad Bit Heavy On The RAH-RAH & MAY NOT Have Delivered As Much Hard-Core Substance That We Wanted 2 See/Hear; But It Did Allow Us 2 See Kamala Harris Trying 2 Distinguish Herself From The Biden Policies As She Began 2 Carve Out Her Own Path Allowing Folks Could See What She Could LQQK Like As An Effective Leader On Her Own!!!

That Was The Wave Of NRG Folks Were Flyin’ On!!! No Longer Were They “Rydin’ With Biden”…, They Were “Jamala 4 Kamala!!!” Everyone Was Primed For The September 10, 2024 Presidential Debate Between Kamala Harris & Donald Trump In Philadelphia!!! We Xpected It 2 Be A Contentious Heated Battle Between 2 Strongly Differing Ideologies; Yet Surprisingly 2 All Involved It Was Much More Civil & Cordial Than Xpected!!! VP Kamala Harris Held Her Own In The Heat Of The Battle, Not Backing Down, Or Giving Ground As She Worked Hard 2 State Her Facts Against Trump’s Continued Bluster!!! She Showed Her Mettle As She Went Toe-To-Toe Against Him Delivering Probably One Of Her Strongest Showings 2 Date!!!

Now Folks Are Thinking OMG!!! This Really May Be Happening?!? Itz Not Just That “Black Barack Obama FX”…, But Itz A Black Woman Of Color Who IZ NOT Just Going 2 Crack Thru…, But She Iz Going 2 SMASH THROUGH That Last Remaining Hurdle Of A Sista Girl Leading The Free World From The White House As President Of These United States!!!

Well…, The November Primary Hit & Although Folks Want 2 Make It Out Like She Got CRUSHED…, It Was Over Quick Fast & In A Hurry!!! Quite Frankly…, She Simply Got Beat!!! Trump Won Blue States That Normally Stay Strongly Democratic, He Won Key Swing States That Continually Shift The Tide Of NE Election, But More Importantly & Probably Most Shockingly Of All…, He…, A Republican, Won The Popular Vote For The 1^st Tyme In Some 30 Odd Years!!!

That’s How You Know This Was A Landslide Victory. It WAS NOT Even 11PM & It Was Clear 2 All Involved That The Writing Was On The Wall As Donald Trump Secured The Electoral College Votes Required 2 Become #47…, The Next President Elect For The 2025 Presidential Cycle!!! Talk About Stunned, Shocked, Amazed, & In Disbelief??? Not So Unlike His Unlikely Win In 2016…, Against Another Woman No Less…, Ms. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

What Happened??? What Went Wrong??? How Could This Nation That Prides Itself On Itz Supposed High IQ, 4get All Of That 2 Elect A Convicted, Insurrectionist, Government Overthrowing, Willing 2 Take Out His Own VP, Failed Business Man, Serial Philandering, Con Man, Back Into The White House After Seeing How Chaotic His 2016 Presidential Term Was??? What Does That Say About All Of Us As Americans??? The Fact That We Would Pass Over A Highly Qualified Black Woman Who Was A District Attorney In California, Served In Congress, Was The VP For 4 Years Thrusting Her Onto The Global Stage, & For All Intents & Purposes Was On Track 2 Become The Next Major 1^st In Our Country After She Made History As The 1^st Black VP???

A Few Things Here!!! First Off When Joe Unceremoniously Had The Carpet Pulled Out From Under Him, There Was A Sped Up Nomination Process That Probably DID NOT Sit Well With The American People Who May Have Felt That Kamala Harris Was SHOVED Down Their Throats & Not Voted In On In A Better Plan B Election Process. This Means That, By The Tyme She Had Won The Perceived Democratic Nomination, Even As She Raised An Ungodly Amount Of Campaign Money In A Very Short Tyme. She Was Already Behind The 8 Ball From A Tyme Perspective With Roughly 107 Dayz 2 Mount An ALL OUT Campaign 2 Run 4 President Of The United States. Quite Daunting 2 Put 2getha The Infrastructure Required 2 Truly Put UR Own Personal Stamp On A Major Campaign Run!!!

Marry That With The Fact That Some Of Her Policies As A DA In California Made Her An EZ & Unpopular Target In The Eyes Of Many, Xspecially Some Of Her Black Constituency. During Her 4 Years As VP…, She Was Mostly Invisible…, (not a knock), Because Thatz What A Good VP’s JOB Iz (keep ur eyez on JD Vance over these next four years). Itz 2 Not Rock The Boat Causing NE Undue Scandals That Puts The Bullseyes Squarely On Your President’s Back In A Negative Light Due 2 UR Dumb Azz Actions!!! The Perception Iz, Even Though She Was There in Full FX, Folks Truly Still DID NOT Know Who She Was, What Her Policies Were, Or What She Stood For???

Speaking Of Policies, Now She Was An EZ Target 4 NE Of The Failed Policies Of The Biden Presidency Because Let’s Face It, She Was Right There “IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENED!!!” Regardless Of How Big Or Little Her Role Was In These Things, She Was Guilty By Association. Xspecially The Low Hanging Fruit Like The Failed Mexico Border Problem That Has Been A Bane Across Several Administrations, Not Just This One!!! Plus, DO NOT Even Mention NE Successes The Biden-Harris Team Achieved Because All Of That Was Going 2 Be Minimized Or Swept Under The Rug Like It Never Happened; Since Clearly She Had NOTHING Whatsoever 2 Do With That!!! SMH!!! LOL!!! She Was Damned If You Do…, & Damned If You Don’t!!! SMH!!!

I Would Also Be Remiss If I DID NOT Mention The Trump Assassination Attempt On July 13, 2024 In Pennsylvania As He Was Stumping On The Campaign Trail!!! Folks Have A Million Conspiracy Theories About This From Being Staged, 2 Trump Putting Ketchup On His Ear, 2 Putting A Spotlight On Lax Secret Service Coverage. None Of That Matters As 2 People Were Killed, (a rally attendee & the shooter) That Day, & It Again Highlighted 4 All The World 2 See Some Ramifications Of America’s Relaxed Gun Control Measures. But The Bigger & More Important Picture Iz…, This DEFI-NITELY Garnered A Level Of Sympathy & Also Added An Aura Of Invincibility 2 Donald Trump Who Only Stood 2 Gain From This Senseless Violent Act!!! This In FX Turned Him From A Cult Figure Into An Instant Un-Stoppable Demi-God!!!

The Last Big Hurdle 4 Kamala Harris Iz The Fact That In The HISTORY Of This Country, Unlike Other Nations Around The World, There Has NEVER EVER Been A Female Leader aka President Of The United States. Please…, Let’s Give Her, Her Flowers For Becoming The 1^st Black VP, As That’s The Highest Rank EVER Achieved By A Woman Of Color. We CANNOT Deny The History Of This Country As A White-Male Dominated & White-Ruled Nation. Based On The Strength Of Breaking Through That Barrier…, On That Achievement Alone…, She Has Already Won!!!

When Barack Obama Showed Up Outta Nowhere 2 Land In That TOP GUN Seat…, White America Has NOT Been The Same Since!!! That Surely Helped Grease The Wheels 2 Allow Someone Like Donald Trump 2 Rise Up From The Ashes With His Thinly Veiled Rhetoric Rife With Racial Commentary, White Superiority, Not 2 Mention Degrading Minorities, Ethnicities, & Even Whole Countries Simply 2 Appease His Rabid Base Of Small-Minded People Who DO NOT Want 2 See Another Person Of Colour…, & Specifically Not A Black Woman Running Thangs…, RUNNIN’ THANGS!!!

We ARE NOT Going 2 Talk About The World-View, We’re Going 2 Narrow This Down 2 The American View. This Has Been…, & Continues 2 Be The 600lb Elephant In The Room!!! The Division Along Racial Lines Of “Black vs White” In This Country Due 2 Our Shared History Of That “Peculiar Institution” Known As Slavery Has Held Us Back Since America’s Inception. We’ve Had Several Chances 2 Get It Right 1nce We Formed This Nation…, But Choose Another Path Every Single Tyme!!!

When America Dropped The Declaration Of Independence In 1776, Those Most Powerfullest Of Words Stated “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

In Theory…, That Was The Perfect Backdrop Allowing “ALL OF US” 2 Simply Be Who We Were Destined 2 Be As We Embarked Upon A Journey Of Self-Fulfillment. How-En-Be-So-Ever…, Those Founding Fathers Who We Speak So Highly Of…, Instead Of Meeting This Crisis Head On 2 Kill It Off 4ever…, They Simply Kicked The Can Down The Road For Future Generations 2 Solve. In 1861 The Civil War Jumped Off As This Situation Truly Came 2 A Head!!! This War Pitted The Country Against Itself; As It Was The Slave Revolting North vs The Slave Owning/Retaining South In A Battle 2 Keep The Nation’s Status Quo!!!

Well Lo & Behold…, In 1865 The North Won!!! So…, WTF Happened??? Clearly We Were Going 2 Solve These Problems Of Black 2^nd Class Citizenship Right Here & Right Now…, RIGHT??? We Notherner’s Won This Thang Damnit!!! But The Then, Leader Of The Free World, President Abraham Lincoln, (although flawed as a leader in these policies), He Iz Still Revered As The Visionary Who Sparked That Change. He Was Effectively Gunned Down By An Assassin’s Bullet!!! All The Goodwill He Ushered In Regarding This Institution Was Effectively Swept Away When His Southern VP Andrew Johnson (the first president to be impeached) Ascended 2 The Throne Immediately Reversing & Undoing All The Good That Reconstruction Had Planned 2 Do As The South Was Being Let Back Into The Union!!! WELL GAWD DAMN!!!

We Can Even LQQK Back 2 The Revolutionary War 1775 – 1783 As That 1^st Spark In Consciousness For Black Americans. This War, Pre-Declaration Of Independence Dayz, Pitted This Upstart Group Of Colonist In The New World Of The Americas Against The British Soopa-Power England!!! For Such A Tiny Piece Of Land In Europe, The Reach Of The British Empire Was INCREDIBLE As They Held Territories World-Wide Utilizing Their Superior Wealth, Naval, & Armed Forces Power!!!

We Never Hear Much About The Free Or Enslaved Blacks Who Had Front Row Seats 2 This Pivotal Moment In American History!!! Enslaved Blacks In The South Were Caught Between Keeping The Status Quo Of Slavery Going In This Country Or Xscaping 2 Join Ranks Fighting With The British Who Promised 2 Give Them Their Freedom When They Won The War. Even Free Blacks In The North Who Still Were Subservient 2^nd Class Citizens Were Offered That Same Enticing Offer 2 Stay In The Same Place Of Limbo In America Or Fight With The British 2 Help Secure Their Own True Freedoms!!! In Hindsight It May Sound Simple, Yet That Had 2 Be A Difficult Decision 4 Many Black Americans 2 Make As Yes They Fought On Both Sides Of The Battle In This Strange New World They Were Now A Part Of.

Fast FWD 2 War On Global Scale!!! America Had Settled Into Who She Was Becoming In The Early 1900’s As The Industrial Age Of The 1800’s & The Upcoming Roaring 20’s Were Ushering In A Golden Era Of Prosperity Across The Land!!! When World War I Comes Along 1914 – 1918, The Allies (France, United Kingdom, Russia, Italy, The United States, etc.) Went 2 Battle Against The Central Powers (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, etc.), Across Europe, The Middle East, Africa, & The Asia-Pacific Rim!!! America Held Out As Long As She Could Before Finally Entering In 1917. &&&&…, Guess Who Stepped In 2 Join The Fight??? That’s Right, Roughly 350,000 Black American’s Risked Everything Even As They STILL WERE NOT Being Treated Fairly At Home Because Jim Crow Laws & Segregation Held A Firm, Unfair Grip On Their Lives!!!

If That WAS NOT Enuff…, Here Comes World War II 1939 – 1945…, As If The World Learned Nothing From World War I?!? Not 2 Mention American Was In The Throes Of The Great Depression 1929 – 1939 Which Put An Incredible Strain On Her People & Her Resources!!! What Did Black Americans Do After STILL Not Getting Their Just Due From World War I??? More Than Three Million Of Us Enlisted In Droves 2 Go Overseas 2 Fight The Evil Axis!!! This War Surely Was Going 2 Bring About The Change Of Equality, Justice, & Civil Liberties That We Had Fought So Hard For??? Xspecially…, 1nce We Got Attacked At Home By The Japanese With Their Surprise Bombing Of Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor Military Base In The Pacific Theater On December 7, 1941!!!

But Nope…, 1nce Again…, America Failed 2 Live Up 2 The Power Of The Words In The Declaration Of Independence As The Black Men Who Proudly Fought Abroad 2 Secure Freedom & Liberty For “OTHERS” In Foreign Nations…, Returned Home Only 2 Be Smacked In The Face With Continued 2^nd Class Citizenship By Not Receiving Those Same Freedoms Themselves. Not 2 Mention, How Unlike Their White Counterparts Who Returned Home 2 A Hero’s Welcome…, Black Soldiers WERE NOT Able 2 Secure G.I. Loans Or Low Cost Housing 2 Help Rebuild Their Lives That The War Had Rudely Interrupted. This Gave White America A Chance 2 Build Up A Middle Class Lifestyle In Newly Developed Suburbs, Leaving Black Americans 2 Head Back Into The Depressed Neighborhoods They Had Left Searching For Better Opportunities.

LQQKIN’ Back At The 13^th, 14^th, & 15^th Amendments From 1865 That Were Implemented 2 Make Amends Allowing Black Americans Some Sense Of Self Worth & Fulfillment. You Would’ve Thought The Global Impact Of The World Wars Some 50 Years Later Would’ve Accelerated Those Goals??? The 13^th Amendment Abolished Slavery, The 14^th Amendment Gave Citizenship 2 All People Born In The United States (aka the slave population), & The 15^th Amendment Gave Those Black Americans The Right 2 Vote!!!

Fast Forward Almost 100 Years After Those Amendments Were Put In Place We Land At The Civil Rights Act Of 1964. Black Americans Were STILL Fighting That Fight For Equality, Sustainability, & Self Worth!!! Things Like Red-Lining, Government Housing aka The Projects, Sub-Par Education Standards, Continued Segregation, Lack Of Upward Economic Corporate Mobility Kept Black America In Our Place If You Will.

The Civil Rights Act Of 1964 Basically Prohibited Discrimination / Segregation On The Basis Of Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Or National Origin In Voting, The Workplace, Schools, Housing, & Public Accommodations. This Is How White America Continued 2 Accrue Generational Wealth As Black America Fell Further Behind In The Wealth Race Due 2 The Tremendous Head Start & Opportunities They Were Given!!! LQQK Around Even 2day, As That Disparity Iz Glaring When You Compare Wealth Status Amongst The Race Groups!!!

Folks Love 2 Say…, But That Was “Waaayyyyy Back Then, Not Now Here In The 2day…, I DO NOT Own Slaves…, & I Have Black Friends!!!” My Rebuttal 2 Them Iz…, Think Of This Like “COMPOUND INTEREST”; Because No Matter How Much You Start Saving 2day…, If You Had The Opportunity 25, 50, 100, Or 300 Years Ago 2 Start Saving & Accruing Wealth…, How Much Further Along Would My Jones Family Dynasty Be 2day??? My Jones Family Would’ve Been Up There With The Likes Of The Carnegie’s, The Rockefeller’s, The Getty’s, Or The Vanderbilt’s!!! No Amount Of Heinz 57 aka Catch Up Can Close That Gap. Basically It Was A 10K Race That Black America Started At The Starting Line…, But White America Had A 5K Head Start On Us & We’ve Been Playing Ketchup (lol) Ever Since. Now As Far As You Not Owning Slaves & Having Your “NEW” Black Friends…, That’s A Conversation We’re Gonna Table For Another Day…, Okay???

Every Tyme America Has Had A Chance 2 Stand Up, 2 Fight For, 2 Protect, Or Fully Engage Her Black Citizens…, She Has FAILED MISERABLY!!! We’ve Continued 2 Be Viewed As Less Than Or Expendable 2 The Greater Good!!! That’s A Shocking Revelation When You Realize How Intertwined & Integrated Black History Iz With American/White History!!! There Would Be No America In All Of Her Current Glory Without The Contributions Of Her Underappreciated & Underserved Black Citizens!!! & DO NOT Get Me Started On What Was Done 2 America’s True Indigenous People…, The Native Americans Who Were Here Long B4 Ole Christopher “I AM NOT LOST” Columbus Re-Discovered Them?!? The Generational Wealth Created During The Slave ERA Has Permeated All Aspects of This Country Giving Her A Head Start 2 Make Her The SOOPA POWER She STILL Iz 2day!!!

Fast FWD 1nce Again 2 The Events Of January 6, 2021 That Were On Full Display 4 All The Entire World 2 See!!! Never Before In The History Of This Country Have We Had A True “Coup D’Etat” Attempt 2 Disrupt/Interrupt Our Peaceful Transfer Of Power Process. Well…, On That Day As Then President Donald Trump Held A Rally In Washington, DC He Told His Followers 2 March Up 2 The Capitol Bldg 2 Voice Their Discontent!!! My Oh My…, Did You See How That Evolved Into A Full On Melee Causing Mayhem, Death, & Destruction On A Sacred US Building??? I Guess NOBODY Saw That Coming Huh???

Contrast That 2 The Black Lives Matter Demonstration June 1, 2020 Where National Guard & A Heavy Police Presence Was Deployed 2 Dissuade Protestors, Even Unleashing Tear Gas Pushing The Protesters Back So Then President Trump Could Have His Infamous Holding Up A Bible In Front Of The Church Photo Op!!! SMH!!! LOL!!! Now…, I CANNOT Emphatically Say He Led The January 1^st Insurrection Charge Or Was The True Ringleader Of The Event, (the Jack Smith report may shed some different light on this)…, But I Can Say Some Blood Iz DEFINITELY On His Hands As He Wanted 2 Stay In Power After Losing 2 Joe Biden & Kamala Harris Fair & Square!!!

Now Come Full Circle 2 This Year, Jan 6, 2025 When Many Of Those Same Members Of Congress Whose Lives Were Threatened As They Cowered In The Capital Chamber With Gas Masks In Hand, Along With Those Same Capitol Police Guards Who Were Viciously Attacked, Filed Back Into That Building With VP Kamala Harris Presiding Over The Proceedings Of Ratifying The Election She Lost In November For President Elect Donald Trump & VP JD Vance. She Held Up Her Part Of The Bargain 2 Ensure There WOULD NOT Be A Repeat Of What Happened A Mere 4 Years Earlier 2 The Dismay Of All Who Witnessed It!!! Order Had Been Restored, The Process Of Democracy Was Still Intact, Even As It Benefits Someone Who’s Character DOES NOT Seem Worthy Of The Lofty Perch He Has 1nce Again Ascended Into!!!

Quite Frankly Donald Trump Has Cheapened The Rank Of The Presidency!!! I Respect The Way He Was Able 2 Land In The Chair During His 1^st Term As He Was A Pure Outsider With No Prior Political Background!!! He Came In & Ran On A Campaign Of Being A Disruptor Who Would Shake Up Washington, Drain The Swamp, & Change The Way Government Was Being Done!!! Well…, He Did That & THEN SOME!!!

But In My Humble Opinion, He Has No Polish, No Shine, Or Grace About Him!!! He Leads In A Buffoonish, Bullying, Spoiled Brat Way, Which Iz Crude, & Lacks The Discipline, Nuance, Or IQ Necessary 2 Lead This Great Nation. His 1^st Term Was Full Of Chaos, Turmoil, Hirings & Firings Even As He Handled World Leaders & World Business In Ways Unbefitting The President Of The United States!!! LQQK No Further Than His Handling Of The Corona Virus Pandemic 2 Truly See How Things Unfolded On His Watch!!! This Was A Tyme When TRUE LEADERSHIP Was Necessary.

This Country Has Voted 4 A Return Back 2 The Chaos That Iz Donald Trump!!! He Will Only Be More Emboldened As He Has 2 Feel An Aura Of Invincibility Thinking He Iz Untouchable In This BIG BOY Seat 1nce Again!!! This Iz A Referendum On Where We Sit As A Nation Going Back Thru Every President Who’s Sat In That Seat!!! Yes Indeed We’ve Had Our Share Of Bad Leaders…, But This Iz Unprecedented, Uncharted Waters Bordering On The Twilight Zone Lunacy!!! I Swear When I LQQK In The Mirror As An American Or Talk 2 People From Other Countries, I Am Thoroughly Embarrassed 2 Be In This Position Again!!! What’s That Classic Line, “Fool Me 1nce Shame On You…, Fool Me Twice…, SHAME ON ME!!!” This Will Be Like Watching A Train Wreck In Slow Motion Because He’s Shown You Who He Iz & Folks Just DO NOT Want 2 Believe Him!!! He DOES NOT Care About You, Me, Or America…, He Simply Cares About DONALD J. TRUMP EMPEROR 4 LIFE!!!

Now If U Think All Of That Chatter From Me Was Enuff…, President Elect Donald Trump Will Take Office On Monday January 20, 2025 Which Just Happens 2 Fall On The Martin Luther King Jr Holidaze!!! This Iz A Man Who Gave Up His VERY LIFE In The Fight 4 Liberty & Justice For All; But He Worked Xspecially Hard For Equality For Black Americans!!!

If Ever There Was A Slap In The Face Moment In Our Lives As Black Americans…, By Golly THIS IZ IT!!! You CANNOT Plan It…, Make It Up…, Or Watch It Unfold NE Betta Than This!!! I Am Stunned…, & Like U…, I Have A Front Row Seat 2 The Madnezz!!! But…, I AM NOT Scared…, I AM NOT Runnin’…, & I AM NOT Going NE Where!!! Poor Dr King Will Be Spinning in His Grave As He Himself Will Be SHOCKED 2 See How Far We Have Regressed Based On The Ideals & Constructs He Died On The Cross For!!!

I Am Still An American…, I Am A Proud Black American 2 Be Clear…, & I Support & Love My Country!!! I Can Acknowledge & Respect That He Iz The President Because The Office, His Title, & The American People Have Given Him That Right!!! I Pray That I Am Wrong & He Will Have His “COME 2 JEEZ-SUS MOMENT” Realizing He DOES NOT Want 2 End His 2^nd Chance By Going Off The Rails Again. Maybe He Will Blow All Our Minds As He Turns The Corner 2 Become A Good, Effective, President 4 All Of America’s Citizens!!! Since I Am A Glass Half Full 4ever Optimistic Type…, Thatz The Way My Brain Iz Wired!!! I’m Willing 2 Work With NE Body & Give NE Body A Chance Or The Benefit Of A Doubt!!!

We Are All Works In Progress…, None Of Us Are Perfect & We All Make Mistakes. But It Iz Only Thru Your Actions That I’ll Believe In Who You Are Telling Me You Are Tryin’ 2 Be!!! In This His 2^nd & Supposed Final Act…, Only Tyme Will Tell What Side Of The Ledger He Stands On?!? Will It Be For America The Democracy Or Trump The Autocracy???
