Chow Acquitted of Murdering Cyrus Carmack-Belton

 

This past week in South Carolina, Chikei Rick Chow was acquitted from murder charges regarding a 14 year old black teenager by the name of Cyrus Carmack-Belton. The fatal shooting occurred in 2023, after Chow, who is a store owner and his son chased the teen outside their store subsequent to an accusation of stealing.  My understanding is these men chased Cyrus more than 100 yards away from the establishment. Additionally, it has been reported either the murder or chase (perhaps both?) was captured on video. 

Chow shot the Cyrus in the back as he fled from the storeowner after a confrontation about some water products. The storeowner later admitted he was mistaken about four bottles of water he presumed Cyrus had stolen. Now tell me this. Where is the threat of eminent danger to Chow 100 yards away the store as this teen runs for his very life while these two men chase him? Why did Chow not remain in the store and call the police over suspected shoplifting? Chow does not seem like a man concerned for his personal safety as he fires bullets into a teenager's back who is obviously running from him. Bullshit.

Once again, like a relentless merry-go-round an innocent black person, a child, has been murdered with existing video evidence and the killer gets off the hook. This is what America is like for black people, and God only knows how many murdered black people lie in graves we do not even know about.  Consider this past week (a little over a week ago), in Minnesota, Republican lawmakers took a moment to commemorate George Floyd's killer, Derick Chauvin-- the police officer convicted of murdering him. You see, all of these events are connected to living in a white supremacist nation. 

But let me say, if this had been a white child, Asian child, or a child of another race, this same scenario would also be egregious! The boy was shot in the back, running away from Chow and his son! We are a violent nation, essentially without gun control, and with a police force which thinks its above the law. Just like our current thug-in-chief president, Donald J. Trump.  However, I am for the right to bear arms, but I believe there must be regulations put forth to mitigate damage from people who abuse this right. Needless to say, Cyrus Carmack-Belton's family is devastated by the jury's verdict, and they intend to sue the store owner who killed their son.

Cyrus Carmack-Belton life is worth more than four bottles of water, but the United States doesn't seem to think so. And what makes this additionally tragic, Cyrus had no intention of stealing anything. But if Cyrus or any other child, man or woman had actually stolen 4 bottles of water from a store, is it legitimate cause to chase that person from the store into the streets and then kill them by firing bullets into their back?  Racism in this country is a very dangerous thing, and our climate of white supremacy has always declared "open season" on black Americans. But since 2016, the cry to restore America back to the Civil War era has erupted; and in an effort to make "America Great Again", it has become exponentially worse for black people in this country. The steps by the Trump administration, MAGA and Republican Party are targeted, deliberate steps to diminish the power of minorities in every facet of their lives. Racism, unchecked, will result in even more tragedies such in the case of Cyrus. 

Black Sellout MAGA Guy Busted In Prostitution Ring

Craig Long, a black man who hates his color, and who aspires to turn white vicariously through his politics was arrested in Lakeland, Florida during an undercover operation. Long is a popular conservative influencer, with over 500,000 followers on TikTok and likely a YouTube channel. He often discusses his affinity for Donald Trump and fellow Republicans, who view him as a dancing chimp for their entertainment, plus he serves as an occasional black token for their campaigning efforts. Long is also a married man. The operation was targeting prostitution, child predators, and human sex trafficking. 

Video has surfaced, where Long met with an undercover police officer disguised as a prostitute. Initially Long is very uneasy as to whether the meeting was a set up. He soon demands something "quick" (i.e. oral sex), and the role acting female officer demands he drops his pants. It is at this point other police officers rush into the hotel room. The meeting was pre-arranged online, with the intention of exchanging $100 cash for a sex act. Big spender there, lol. (Check out Chris Hansen's video on YouTube: "Married MAGA Influencer BUSTED In Prostitution Sting").

From here on, it may be harder for Craig Long to seem white-like to the people he caters to, such as his TikTok followers. Expect him to announce after much reflection, fasting and prayer, he has come to a realization of the "errors of his ways"😳. The best course of action, however, would be to examine his hypocrisy and his self hate. 

I should never post while in a bad mood, but alas, I have done so. Upon second thought, I do not think this post would be much different if I was in a good mood. I do feel like blacks who support Trump should be identified, and pointed out. 

NACCP Launches Out Of Bounds Initiative

I love this! The NACCP has launched new a campaign entitled "Out of Bounds") directing young black student athletes, their families, friends, alumni, and fans to withhold and withdraw financial support from eight southern states bent on redistricting congressional maps to weaken the power of black voters. The campaign keenly focuses on persuading black athletes to reject recruitment offers from those states. We already know Texas went into a redistricting mode at convicted felon Donald Trump's urging in August 2025 (see post here); but after the Supreme Court obliterated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act a few weeks ago, the other states rapidly galvanized their efforts to gerrymander districts for the upcoming midterms. The other seven states Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.

The NACCP succinctly captures the philosophy, the mechanism of operation and the outcome in three bold lines on their website:

No Representation. 

No Recruitment.

No Revenue. 

Further down the page on their website it lists 6 goals: 

1: Adopt state Voting Rights Act.

2: Withdraw or repeal maps that dilute Black voting power.

3: Restore congressional and/or judicial districts that reflect the state's Black population and voting strength.

4: Commit to transparent, community-centered redistricting processes.

5: Protect districts where Black voters have the opportunity to elect candidates of choice.

6: Stop using state power to weaken Black representation while public institutions profit from Black talent."

Some people have been critical of the campaign, claiming involving black youth will deny them opportunity at colleges. Some people think it is unfair, the criticism pointed out by one news network podcaster who later eloquently stated "one of my problems with this "secure the bag" generation is that what do you stand for? If it is time to fight for something, what do you fight for?" I too feel the people who do not want athletes making a political statement are missing the big picture, because the big picture is our current white supremacist regime desires to deny blacks opportunity, economic stability, health, political power...in essence, to hurt blacks on every level of our lives. Will personal wealth erase discrimination? Some of these white nationalist have called for blacks not to be considered as citizens because we are descendants of slaves.  A black person with money is still not safe when driving while black, or jogging down a white neighborhood.

We, as a people, surely must recognize the erosion of the gains we have made from the Civil Rights Era of the 60's. We find ourselves back in time into the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War. Once again, we are fighting for our very existence, and we should considered this as a fight which demands personal sacrifice, as our ancestors did, as the demonstrators and boycotters did in the 1960's and even the civil rights activists of years before. Our fight is far from over, and we need everyone on board. We all must vote, and consider to demonstrate, to write congressional leaders, to boycott, and yes, even abstain from our on personal ambitions to pave a more certain and viable future. There are other states besides the eight mentioned where black youth can attend college and get recruited into their athletic programs. Young people have choices which can be made which benefit not only their future, but the future for blacks in America. 

In no way I am asserting the burden of overcoming a white supremacist government, and ideological white supremacy rests in the hands of select black athletes and the sports arena in these southern states. We need to view our resistance as a well oiled machine which involves all blacks and other people concerned about systemic racism. What the NACCP proposes is just one strategy which can contribute to the resistance machine, and it will take a variety of strategies and a variety of groups to restore the gains blacks have made, now taken away by the Trump regime and white supremacist Republicans. 

I applaud the NACCP for their efforts, and for this new initiative. People, we must look at the big picture. Talented youth can make better choices, and one should consider the states which are redistricting also offer more hostile, vicious racist climates. And this all leads to my point-- money and personal gain will not keep you from being victimized by racism. 

We should all have a greater cause then just ourselves on this earth.

Corporate CEOs Go With Trump To Talks In China

This past week Donald Trump, our convicted 34 count felon-in-chief met with China's president, Xi Jinping in Beijing. Besides questioning everything Trump puts forth about the progress of their talks, I found it most interesting when I discovered who went along the trip. Americans should never doubt this country is controlled by an oligarchy--by the most wealthiest people in our nation, and some are even the wealthiest in this world.  One would think Trump's admins and cabinet members would be accompanying him to China devoid of business executives. Instead we see the likes of Elon Musk, Tim Cook of Apple, Citi Bank chairman Jane Fraser. Never doubt the international affairs of the United States is being controlled by its wealthiest citizens and by corporate entities. 

Reportedly, in addition to discussing trade relations and attempting to forge new deals, the meeting held discussions on artificial intelligence (one of Elon Musk's big money makers), and the contentious subject of Taiwan. Trump in his usual klutzy phraseology declared the trip a "tremendous success". The  Associated Press reports the meeting started off with a quick warning "If Washington mishandles its relations with the self-governing island of Taiwan, the U.S. and China could end up clashing or even in open conflict." Trump and his minions did not challenge Xi's declaration. Sounds like Xi wanted to establish control at the get go. 

But back to the subject matter: the wealthiest people in this country control and orchestrate domestic and international policies of the United States.  A PBS article nicely outline a list of the big players who accompanied Trump to China. These people are as follows:

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, leader of DODGE

Tim Cook of Apple

Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia 

Robert "Kelly" Ortberg, CEO of Boeing

Blackrock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink

Blackstone Chairman, CEO and co-founder Stephen Schwarzman

Cargill Chairman and CEO Brian Sikes

Citi Chairman and CEO Jane Fraser

Coherent CEO Jim Anderson

GE Aerospace Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp

Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon

Illumina CEO Jacob Thaysen

Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach

Meta President and Vice Chairman Dina Powell McCormick

Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra

Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon

Visa CEO Ryan McInerney

I am surprised to not see a Google executive on the list, being its CEO is a major Trump ass kisser. I know for certain, Google has prevented this blog in its searches, particularly on computers, and on a limited basis on Android devises. I also have experienced great difficulty lately in putting up posts, as it at times will not allow pictures or editing. I just gotta say it.

The Sterilization Of White Supremacy Must Stop

We need to start calling what is happening in this country by what has become a forbidden word in the media: "white supremacy". In 2015 and 2016, during the first Trump campaign, the major prime time television networks would vocalize the term "white supremacy" or "white supremacists" concerning MAGA ideology; and because Donald Trump was instigating divisiveness across the country along racial lines.  We cannot allow the existing establishment which has always had a foundation based on white supremacy to "normalize" blatantly racist behavior and erode the gains we made during the Civil Rights Era (which in many ways never ended). If other people in the United States will not call this white Christian nationalist movement by its true name, then those in opposition must call it out. The Trump administration and his MAGA followers have a white racist agenda, to make America "White Again". Why does the general media throw water on it, and expect "white supremacy" to get cleaner by calling it "white nationalism"? White nationalism is based out of white supremacy. After all, they are the ruling class and are not oppressed in America.

In Oklahoma, a white supremacist by the name of Charles McCall is running for governor. His television ads are blatantly racist, so much to the point one should questioned why any broadcast channel would run something with such vile content. Of course, this man who reports himself to also be a Christian, uses "God" for his political purposes, while hissing like a vile, contemptuous serpent. At some point in one of his television ads, McCall complains about Chinese nationals, and later states to the effect they need to "Shanghai" back to their country. As a major embracer of conspiracy theories, he slams Muslims complaining about Sharia Law, and radical Islam. And naturally, in true sycophant fashion, he points to his alignment with the Donald Trump in all his commercials. Look up some of his racist commercials on YouTube. 

Across the United States, whether its Georgia or Oklahoma, Louisiana or Tennessee, we the people need to start taking a stand. Start writing these television stations which air vile racist content from politicians, and call it out for its offensiveness. Across the nation tv stations are airing this crap without any consequences for their actions, and making money off it! We have to raise up against this regime in different ways, and not just rely on voting. And believe this, voting remains essential for stopping this madness!! Americans must engage in voter participation all levels of government; including municipal, state and national elections.  From the ground up we must root out racist politicians. 

People must pay attention to the proposed bills in their towns and cities, because the goal of these white supremacists is demote power and crush economic stability for certain specific groups of people. Furthermore, billionaires want to weaken the power of Americans regardless of race. We are dealing with an oligarchy composed of white supremacists. The United States has always been a racist nation, but in the 1960's, with the passage of Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Acts, great gains were made by minorities for more equal representation. This further allowed for greater economic gains and political representation by actual minorities in political positions. However, a few weeks ago, our corrupt Supreme Court change all of that by destroying Section 2 of the voting Rights Act, and people of color have just lost a good deal of ground we gained.  We now must think "numbers".

Because of this newly released green light to individual states to not control racist gerrymandering of districts--indeed-but instead engage in gerrymandering, it is imperative blacks and other minorities who recognize this oppressive ruling from the Supreme Court to counter it with the strategy of using large numbers. The more of us who vote, the better our chances to gain representation in gerrymandered districts. We cannot afford as a people to sit the mid-term elections out. NO! Every single vote counts on the upcoming midterm elections. We must develop a strategy to overcome this utilizing our numbers, and countering apathy. Apathy helped get us into this authoritarian mess in 2024.  I am sick of hearing people saying they are tired of fighting, when they have never fought before other than within their own personal domain. Damn, at least just vote. If you black, if you a person of color, you will always have racist stuff coming at you. We must unite, strategize, and organize to now regain what we have lost, and fight to stop this regime from hurting us even further. 

SCOTUS Wrecks Section 2 Of Voting Rights Act

We knew this would happen, despite efforts to prevent the erosion of equal representation in government. The corrupt Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday, to diminish Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. For minorities in the United States, life is about to get much more harder. The decision was derived along ideological lines, with six conservatives justices for the ruling, and the three liberal justices in opposition. From every angle, from every facet of the lives of minorities in the United States; the Trump administration has sought to weaken our resources, sustainability, health and most certainly, our political power. 

"For decades, Section 2 — a provision that broadly outlawed discrimination in voting on the basis of race — has been interpreted to allow, and sometimes demand, the use of race-conscious data in redistricting, to protect the voting power of minorities." See Politico article here.  

The GOP states across America are celebrating today, no doubt about to execute a redistricting rampage just in time for the mid-term elections. Isn't it remarkable timing for the Supreme Court to have Louisiana v. Callais on their docket.? The Supreme Court has become corrupted, and in dire need of drastic reform if we are to ever have an adequate justice system operating in our country. 

An article from Slate aptly states "Wednesday’s 6–3 party-line decision in Louisiana v. Callais will go down in history as one of the most pernicious and damaging Supreme Court decisions of the last century. All six Republican-appointed justices on the court signed onto Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion gutting what remained of the Voting Rights Act protections for minority voters, while pretending they were merely making technical tweaks to the act." 

Sophia Lin Lakin, director of the ACLU's Voting Rights Project stated “This decision is a profound betrayal of the legacy of the civil rights movement. By gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the Court has weakened the primary legal tool that voters of color rely on to challenge discriminatory maps and election systems. In practical terms, this means that even where racial discrimination in voting is clear and ongoing, communities will be left without the most significant weapon they have to stop states from drawing districts that dilute their political power." (more from ACLU's article here). 

This ruling has severe repercussions for blacks, and other minorities in this country who have always struggled against underrepresentation in most every level of government from the inception of this country. An Associated Press headline article this morning describes the profound impact this will have upon the Black Congressional Congress. Also consider Pete Hegesth, our murderous Secretary of Defense, who believes women should not have a right to vote. Does anyone out there besides Bryon Donalds and Tim Scott, believe white supremacist Hegseth really wants racial minorities to vote in this country?

We got a real battle ahead for our lives. Each day this white supremacist administration takes more lives, more economic stability, and power from not only minorities but from the masses in general. What kind of system is this if there are no solid avenues for representation? We better get prepared and start thinking outside the box, because it appears this country will necessitate change in ways we might not have considered. 

Again, we can bring this to end if half the country would get on board with a general strike-- without war or bloodshed. It has been a tool for protest which has worked throughout centuries in nations around the globe. Yet regarding the social and political causes of blacks in this country, we have been fighting the establishment for centuries. What is so sad, and tragic, where are blacks in this battle today? Many cannot be bothered to be concerned about what is occurring in this nation, and that is why we can only expect things to get worse unless we as a people wake the hell up.

DOJ And Trump Announces Executions For Crimes

One of the central themes of Donald Trump's second administration which consistently flexes its authoritarian nature, is to utilize "fear tactics" as a method for controlling the masses. Armed military and Natural Guard members are roaming streets in various cities with weapons visibly strapped on, not only to intimidate, but also to harass people of color.  Federal ICE agents have been stalking and harassing people without legal authority in almost a routine fashion; also on a mission to instill fear into communities dominated by people of color. Ironically, after killing two white people: Renee Nicole Good, and Alex Pretti, whites now suddenly realize they are also in danger. Even one's whiteness may not protect anymore.

This week the rogue Trump administration announced it will reinstate firing squads as a form of capital punishment. After all, other dictators have firing squads" whimpers our perverted 34 count felon-in-chief. It is hardly surprising, to people who have been taking note of our ever fading democracy. 

Trump loves being an authoritarian dictator. He deeply desires to model himself after North Korea, with military parades to praise him as opposed to service members, and ritzy entertainment (such as to be presented in his special ballroom)--all centered around himself, no less. Yet to his dismay, his relationship with long time friend, the now deceased Jeffery Epstein remains highly circulated in the media. In his convoluted thinking, I am sure he felt the war with Iran would sufficiently debunk Epstein out of the media, so he repeats his favorite tool which is to generate a new controversy on nearly a daily basis. Perhaps, reinstating firing squads could serve to divert from pedophilia for a week or two.

The Associated Press reports in an article "The Justice Department is also reauthorizing the use of single-drug lethal injections with pentobarbital that were used to carry out 13 executions during the first Trump administration — more than under any president in modern history. The Biden administration had removed pentobarbital from the federal protocol over concerns about the potential for unnecessary pain and suffering."

Todd Blanche could not be happier to reinstate executions for federal crimes. .Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who assumed fired Pam Bondi's position, is the perfect sycophant for all of Trump's delusional white supremacist needs, and most helpful to manipulate Trump's "activities" documented in the Jeffrey Epstein files. The Trump administration is asserting there is a need to expedite capital punishment cases; an argument which is relatively bogus as it will surely not expedite cases, but only present greater opportunity for delays. It is all about image to these Nazis,  intimidation, and control of the masses. But for Donald Trump, it is something more personal, it is to throw his putrid scent off the Epstein files. I was surprised in reading this latest development on capital punishment five states in the U.S. presently allow executions by firing squads: Oklahoma, South Carolina, Idaho, Mississippi, and Utah.

NPR states in an article "Currently on death row are are Dylann Roof, who carried out the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue in 2018, the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S history."  Now, that would be a real struggle for the Trump administration to knock off a fellow comrade in arms, Dylann Roof, and maybe even Bowers. We know they could not give two cents about their victims or the perpetrators lives for that matter. However, a friend of mine pointed out it is possible Trump may pardon Dylan Roof; after all, the poor lad was consume with zealous pride for the American past. Most likely, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev would be executed before Roof or Bowers. 

But in the end, they may well execute fellow racists like themselves, and continue to talk two sides from their mouths at the same time. Their MAGA base is expendable, and is this is quite evident in their push for a military draft for 18 to 24 years old, set to start sometime in September 2026. Let's see how long the Iran war continues, was it not only suppose to be a few days? Some Trump supporters may cheer the decision, but some people may not want to see their children die in a senseless war--a war which America should not be involved.  Yet, they voted for it. The inescapable fact is this government is about white supremacy and billionaires, to maintain the power of an oligarchy which rules this country.

Christian Rant On Our Blasphemous Chief

I started not to post on this, but for my sanity's sake and for the opportunity to rant as a Christian, I got up early this morning to vent.  Our felon-in-chief president continues to sink to lower levels, as if the swamps can no longer contain him. Most of my rant will come from my Christian perspective, so non-believers, be prepared to be possibly offended but know this--Donald Trump is not a Christian, and those Christians who support him need to ask themselves what gospel do they really believe in. I firmly believe many of these white nationalist Christians do not truly believe the gospel, but have become a religion unto themselves for their own political agenda and to promote their hate. The Christians who support Donald Trump are idolatrous. In essence, they are committing idolatry.

I have repeatedly said this, and I will say it again; keep in mind this guy which likens himself to Jesus Christ, has access to the nuclear codes. Ever delusional, he has in the past referred himself to be "The Chosen One", already likening himself to be of biblical importance. But in actuality, his assertion to be the "Chosen One", is a wink and a nod to his MAGA base to be their white supremacist savior they have longed for decades. Yet even now, in the confines of his perverted and convoluted mind, he proposes imaginary powers to heal people and nations with a touch of his rotten, white supremacist hand. He is a blasphemous, despicable, evil man who truly believes the Earth and the universe evolves around him. There is nothing good in this man.

I am convinced Donald Trump does not believe in God, nor believes in Jesus Christ--the Son of God, who we as Christians profess to be our Savoir to reconcile ourselves to God. I can say unequivocally, no real Christian would even DARE attempt to imply themselves equal with Christ, nor depict themselves to assert being equal to the Lord.  Never. This guy has no clue about Jesus Christ, and note in the image from Trump's Truth Social post it conveys healing powers in his hand as a crowd of white people surround him. Count on it, there will be no people of color around this devil who thinks he can heal. Gotta keep it white.

Then after the controversial explosion, King Trump publicly announced a feeble explanation stating he thought he would be portrayed as a doctor in the imagery in his Truth Social post. Really, day and night--all Trump does is post on Truth Social; he knows about everything going up on his feed, because Truth Social is his pacifier, his perverted teat to babysit him all day. He knew darn well when the Obamas where depicted as monkeys a few months ago, as he knew darn well he was being likened to Jesus Christ in his recent blasphemous post. 

Some of MAGA are reeling, proposing the question is Trump the anti-Christ? No, he is despised by too many, and revered by much fewer. There are more people who have contempt for this buffoon then those who look up to him. He is not "The Anti-Christ" as described in the book of Revelation. Most of the world despises him, therefore most people on this earth will not be swayed by this clown.

Whether one believes in Christ is not the issue here. The issue is our perverted felon-in-chief white supremacist has likened himself to God. And that is a very, very dangerous thing for someone with access to the nuclear codes of this country. 

America's President: Ender of Civilizations

Yes. Donald J. Trump has appointed himself not only a king, but is self-appointed to end civilizations. Trump just assumed going to war with Iran, a country he views to be composed of "inferior" people according to his white supremacist ideologies, would be quick and simple. And the hell with members in our military who have died and will die in a war not justified for United States involvement. It never occurred to this administration that Iran would strategically use the Strait of Hormuz to globally impact the flow of oil, catapulting oil and gas price hikes on a global scale. Consequently, the price of gas and oil continues to rise in the U.S, and now MAGA is beginning to bitch about the economic pressure. 

I am amazed at some of the Trump idolizing loons who are now speaking out against his horrible comments on Truth Social about destroying the civilization of Iran. Megan Kelly, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Alex Jones-- a host of animated characters are now condemning Trump's pathetic comments.  Yet these same folks already knew what Trump is about, and worshiped him for his racist policies, applauded him for isolating our allies, and approved the war on day one where a school was bombed killing many little girls in Iran. Originally, his fictitious justification for the war was to defend Iranian citizens, focusing on protestors right to demonstrate against a suppressive Iranian regime. Yet, this same man wants to obliterate the very people he defends. Go figure this nut. This hypocrite calls U.S. protestors "Antifa" (see former post here).

J.D. Vance, along with a U.S. delegation which included Jared Kushner (nepotism on steroids...) recently went to Islamabad--the capital of Pakistan, to engage in talks surrounding the so called "ceasefire". Iran had initially proposed a 10-point plan, which was rejected by the United States who came with their own plan which also called for the Strait of Hormuz to reopen. These talks to no one's surprise failed, after all, J.D. Vance's delusional ass led the way. This group is a literal embarrassment presenting itself to the world.

The Associated Press reported Monday (today) a turn of events concerning a military blockade by the United States against Iran. The article states "The U.S. military announced it will begin a blockade of all Iranian ports and coastal areas on Monday, a step down from President Donald Trump ‘s earlier vow to entirely block the strategic Strait of Hormuz as early reports indicated that ships had stopped crossing the waterway." Reuters reports "Vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports will not be impeded, the U.S. military said"  It further states Trump will intercept vessels "in international waters that had paid a toll to Iran.

Once again, given these new developments, oil prices soared again. Therefore costs across the board in the United States will also rise. You racist people voted for it. Why are you complaining now? Is it because your racism is expensive? Damn straight it is. 

You got two segments of Trump supporters, the ones who are proud to be racist, and the other group who "cloaks" their racism with excuses such as the price of eggs and gas. Now, consequently thanks to their support of our racist dictator, the price of everything is going up and will continue to rise. Transporters utilizing gas and oil must pass their cost down to the consumer; so we can only expect prices to rise in all consumer goods. Also, expect restaurants, air transportation, etc. to rise their prices as well. Again, racism is expensive.

More Trump Admins Will Be Fired

You all know by now that "ICE Barbie" Kristi Noem and the United States Attorney General Pam Bondi are out of their appointed positions, because of a tantrum decree by Donald Trump. Trump remains grievously angst by the Epstein files, and a good deal of his actions, including international politics pivot around his greatest fear: of being found out to be a disgusting pedophile. Well, news flash, most of us already know what he is about. God only knows if he will generate more wars to keep attention off Jeffrey Epstein and his shared escapades with the now deceased man with a mighty suspicious death. And for anyone with narcissistic personality disorder, or your regular typical narcissist; the unethical or illegal acts they commit are justifiable in their eyes.

Narcissists are never happy with anyone other than themselves. This is why Donald Trump will inevitably fire more people in his administration. If anyone denies one of his commands, or cross him in anyway; he or she has committed an "unpardonable sin". In this second term, Hegseth along with Trump, have been firing women and blacks in the military left and right, along with some "select" white commanders. These firings are not all based on the behavior of his targets, most is based on racism and misogyny. I await the day Kash Patel, leader of the FBI gets booted, and finds out he is not white after all. 

Narcissists can never be satisfied. Whether it is a president of a country, or a person who cleans sidewalks, their philosophy of being "right" all the time and beyond reproach remains the same. This is why Trump has no problem acting like a lunatic ranting on his Truth Social platform, offending countries, dignitaries and people on practically a daily and nightly basis. One can see from his recent post on Easter Sunday why we are dealing with an unhinged man, who has blood on his hands. So much for caring about the plight of Iranian protestors. Perhaps, its just easier to kill them to resolve the problem. See his post directly below.

Regarding Kristi Noem, I cannot help but wonder if the Trump administration knew the controversy regarding her husband, Bryon Noem, was coming down the pike. Trump and his goons were fully aware about Kristi Noem's controversial advertising debacle long before her husband's kinkiness took the news stage. Truly, this is some twisted crap, as Bryon Noem was cross dressing like a Barbie doll, with balloons serving as boobs under his shirt, paying $25 a minute for dirty talk on an online platform. One should never think you have heard it all, for I have learned about a new thing called "bimbofication", a fetish Noem's husband was engaging in. The Republican party loves to boast about God while surpassing kinkiness and depravity surpassing all "laws" known to humankind, including protecting a pedophile in power.

Donald Trump, our 34 count felon in chief, did not believe Pam Bondi was doing enough to protect the incriminating details of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, despite the woman doing all kinds of illegal acts for her idol. Pam Bondi is an absolute disgrace to the legal profession, to our Constitution, and is a white supremacist on steroids. Hopefully, she will disappear into oblivion, and sink into the ground like a big pile of elephant manure. However, her stench will be everlasting to our earth's dismay.

There will be more firings, rest assured. Just have a big bowl of popcorn ready, as our country continues to go down the hill.  Yet, I rather forgo this kind of entertainment. Please, register to vote, and PLEASE vote in the mid-terms. Lets vote these white nationalist people out, and take this opportunity to save our country! We have to position ourselves, because there is much work to be done to reverse what has happened in the past year.

UN Resolution Displays European World View On Slavery

Last week, the United Nations passed a resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity, furthermore, calling it the greatest crime against humanity. The country of Ghana took the lead in putting forth the resolution which would received 123 votes by countries in favor of it, three countries opposing it, and 52 countries abstaining to vote (what I call a "trazpee act" resulting in essentially a "no" vote). During the course of the meeting, the president of Ghana stated “Let it be recorded that when history beckoned, we did what was right for the memory of millions who suffered the indignity of slavery.”

The three countries voting "No" were the United States, Israel, and Argentina. PBS.org states ". The United Kingdom and all 27 members of the European Union were among those that abstained." (according to PBS article here). Their racist ideologies continue to shine through, nor do I feel their vote is a form of  "denial". I feel their vote exhibits a Eurocentric mentality which has prevailed over 400 years. At least have to decency to acknowledge the transatlantic slave trade was a horrendous practice, and its impact produced on African families and upon black descendants of slaves in America. Not only is the idea of reparations for their human trafficking contrary to their generally racist perspectives; it might involve a financial cost which they are not willing to even consider. Where is accountability?

I at not at least bit surprised on the American vote.  Under the Trump administration, great efforts have been made not only to erase black history in public schools, but also in government buildings, federal websites, national parks, historical buildings including museums such as the Smithsonian. Yet Israel, not even 100 years out from the Holocaust would vote "yes"? Israel who endured the horrors of Nazi Germany which sought to destroy the Jewish people has voted "yes" to NOT consider the trafficking of enslaved  human beings in consensus with the country who benefited most from violating African people, the United States.  The very same Israel who sought the world's help from the terror Adolph Hitler was inflicting upon its people. Argentina, however, is less shocking, as it became a major hub for absorbing Nazis fleeing prosecution, and still holds that stench today with a racist power base which continues today.

Dan Negrea, one of Trump's henchmen and the U.N. Ambassador stated in true white supremacist form regarding the United Nation resolution “The United States also strongly objects to the resolution’s attempt to rank crimes against humanity in any type of hierarchy,” he said. “The assertion that some crimes against humanity are less severe than others objectively diminishes the suffering of countless victims and survivors of other atrocities throughout history.”  (from AP article here).   Believe me, if the language of the resolution left out the phrasing of “the gravest crime against humanity”, Negrea would not had voted any differently, nor would had Israel and Argentina. Nor do I see the discounting of victims from other historical atrocities because of the U.N's adoption of this resolution. This Eurocentric view is more concerned with "semantics" than the historical facts regarding the horrors inflicted upon victims of the slave trade. I call this essentially "slight of hand" not to deal with the real issues regarding slavery, and that it was a massive, almost unfathomable criminal act.

Those countries which abstained from voting spoke volumes through their actions. The following image details a chart of how countries voted. Clicking on it should enlarge the image in another window or tab.

According to a excerpt from a Pass Blue article,  The resolution “is not about apportioning blame across generations or nations,” said Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Ghana’s minister of foreign affairs, to journalists after the Assembly vote. “It is not about reopening old wounds; it is about ensuring that those wounds are neither forgotten nor denied. It is about creating space for truth for education and for a more honest conversation that allows us to move forward with greater understanding.”   And sadly, we see the opposite of Ablakwa's vision in America, for Donald Trump is on a mission to erase historical accounts about slavery in the United States. Red states in this country are vigorously tweaking textbooks in public schools to omit subject matter in schools, while on a federal level, the Trump administration has sought to wipe out anything about slavery, instead focusing on "white discrimination", while whites maintain power and own most of the wealth in this country. We must continue to talk about slavery, and not allow a white supremacist movement to erase our history.

No Kings Protest March 28 2026

Saturday, March 28, 2026 is a "No Kings Protest" demonstration day, with people participating all across the United States in protest against Trump administration policies. I am curious to see how quick Donald Trump's goons throw out their bogus "Antifa" term against the protestors, while fabricating a fat lie by "justifying" war in behalf of the Iranian people who were stifled by Iran's regime to prevent their protests. "Hypocrisy" is this administration middle name.

Protest is extremely important, as it is an outward display exhibiting discontent with a government, and is a natural process in any democracy. Non-democratic nations crack down and suppress protests, such as Russia, Iran, North Korea, and more. Has this not been happening here as well? We are under an authoritarian regime, but we must come to terms with this fact; it will take more than protest to get our democracy back.

We must also vote, not just in the mid-terms, but in all elections. We must raise our voices, through social media platforms, blogs, and podcasts. We must talk one on one to those who are dealing with resignation and disinterest, and explain to them why and how our political environment will effect their lives. Apathy is a major, significant problem in the United States. We must vote against all who support Donald Trump out of their elected offices, as Trump is a 34 count felon, a man who likes little girls, a white supremacist, and a narcissistic loon who has launched us into war, and military excursions resulting into cold, calculated murder.

Voting is not enough, however, as protest is not enough. WE must come to terms, that WE must do more! Please consider a "general strike", as we could shut this nation down to a standstill, in a short matter of time if we were organized. But enough people need to be on board for a general strike to work. Please review my previous post referring to general strikes here. It would work, but it will take sacrificing our consumerism and in some cases employment, for a duration. General strikes are very, very effective in bring down regimes and effecting change. Express the idea of a general strike at demonstrations, and use other opportunities to promote the idea. General strikes have toppled many leaders and rogue authoritarian regimes.

Be careful out there Saturday. Trump will likely deploy his ICE Gestapo to large protests in urban areas, and ICE agents will look for and likely create opportunities to accost innocent people. We have a right to protest and a right to free speech. In certain areas, even a right to carry arms openly. And it goes without saying, those engaged in No Kings Protests are simply peaceful demonstrators, exercising their rights. We must organize and fight to maintain those rights, because Trump is on an agenda to crush our rights.

                                                                                                                                                

Trump & Republican Tactics To Manipulate Voting

 

Prepare for the battle to vote in the approaching midterms! For a bunch of lying MAGA propaganda, manipulative legislation, and hurdles are being constructed to diminish the voting power of minority and marginalized communities; which typically vote Democrat. This includes Latinos, who predominately voted for Trump in 2024. 

People, we must get ready to vote this authoritarian regime out and all of those elected officials propping it up. We must vote out the Republicans in office as almost all bow down to our dictator, Donald Trump, additionally we must primary those Democrats who have proven themselves to side along Republicans without standing upon their true convictions. Keep in mind all in the Democratic Senate voted "yes" to the Kirk resolution.  

Americans need to look at some of the measures Trump and the Republican Party are using to to rig the upcoming midterm elections into their favor. We've already seen how Donald Trump continues to insist he won the 2020 election, consequently spawning a riot on our nation's capital on January 6, 2020. Trump maintains the votes were stolen despite not a shred of evidence to support his erroneous claim. Yet, despite an audio recording of Trump asking Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State in Georgia to "find 11,780 votes" so he could win 2020, many people continue to believe the felon-in-chief's bogus election claims.

Republicans have a history a suppressing voters from certain demographics; namely brown and black voters. Recall how Georgia's state Secretary, Brian Kemp' was sued in 2018  for suppressing minority votes by not approving over 53,000 voter registrations predominantly filed by black Americans. Stacy Abrams would later run against Kemp for governor thereby bringing great attention to the controversy. Kemp was implementing bogus efforts to invalidate state voters based on superficial details on their voter registration forms, such as no periods behind their middle initials and other inconsequential details. Such underhanded tactics are not confined simply to the state of Georgia. I have been hearing voter "horror" stories from other states lately, so nothing new is under the sun.

Just this past year we have seen the efforts by the Republican party to illegally redistrict their states, as we have seen in Texas led by Greg Abbott at Donald Trump's request. Trump has admitted on video that Republicans must win the midterms, otherwise he will be impeached. Trump's Department of Justice led by Attorney General Pam Bondi is now in the process of suing 28 states for not turning over private data of voter registrants in these states, a request which is illegal to no one's  surprise.  All of this is a concerted effort by the Republican Party to thwart votes.

Clarence Thomas, and surely others of the conservative Supreme Court justices are bent on destroying Section 2 of the Voting Right Act passed by Congress in 1965, which prohibits discriminatory practices regarding the electorate. The Brennan Center for Justice states "Passed 60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act is one of the most important and transformative laws in American history. Overnight, the law ended discriminatory practices like poll taxes and literacy tests and, for six decades, has ensured that voters of color and language minorities have equal access to the ballot box." The Cornell Law School website elaborates "Section 2 of the VRA prohibits drawing election districts in ways that improperly dilute minorities’ voting power. This prohibition applies to states, counties, cities, school districts, and any other governmental units that hold elections." We can see how in just the course of one year, how the Trump administration and the Republican Party has violated the Voting Rights Act". 

Recently the SAVE ACT passed the House, and will certainly pass the majority Republican led senate. This whole measure is an effort to suppress voters, particularly those of lower income, but most importantly, racial minorities. It is designed to stifle voter resignation, making it more difficult by requiring either passports (which are expensive) or birth certificates (which can pose a problem for naturalized citizens). It is estimated the Save Act will block millions of people who are eligible and who are legitimate voters from participating in elections. It also greatly poses a problem for married women because their names will not match their birth certificates. Passports require money--money that a lot of people do not have. The bill also allows limits on what is considered acceptable identification, which will negatively impact tribal citizens and students. 

I defer again to the Brennan Center For Justice, which composed a list describing a "new" extension to the Save ACT which is absolutely alarming:

• "The bill not only requires proof of citizenship, but also proof of residence in order to register. This could block even more Americans from voting. Roughly 9 percent of the population has moved within a state in the past year, but many will not update their driver’s licenses until they expire.
• The legislation would mandate voter roll purges every 30 days, placing enormous burdens on election officials and ending the 90-day quiet period that protects voters from being mistakenly thrown off the rolls right before Election Day.
• The bill would prohibit universal mail voting, requiring all mail voters to submit an application in order to receive a mail ballot. This would end the longstanding principal method of voting in eight states and Washington, DC.
• The bill also includes the same restrictive photo ID requirement as the SAVE America Act."

All of this is an effort to thwart the voting power of people of color, even women (who Pete Hegseth feels should not be able to vote) and those of lower classes, who the Republican's Party view as riff raff. But this battle is primarily about race and power based on race.

We are going to have to stand up to this authtoritarin regime. It has attacked American democracy on all levels, including voting privileges. All the hoops and obstacles will require time to overcome for many, so it is best to get started now! Get your birth certificates now, real ID's now, and passports if you can afford it. Apply for absentee ballot voting now, and above all--do get REGISTERED! Find out now what your obstacles will be, so that you have at least several months to work it our. Birth certificates take time and are not immediate.  Below, you will find a list of states, with links to enable people to register to vote online.

White Police Priorities Will Get A Person Dead

I recently read a news story on the Associated Press website about a black man who was shot by police in his back last year by the name of Dyshan Best. Best was a 39 year old black man who was fleeing from law enforcement in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 2025. At the time of the shooting, which was later deemed justified by a state investigation, it was found Dyshan Best had a gun in his hand and posed a threat to officers who were chasing him. Best was shot in the back, which I find questionable when anyone is shot in the back. I am not feeling the state's findings. But the point of this article is a bit different issue, than just the issue of black people being mowed down the police routinely in this country, whether people have committed a crime or not. 

After Best was shot, an ambulance was called onto the shooting scene. I am not sure if anyone attempted to administer aid to Best, but given the details, I highly doubt it. The first ambulance to arrive did not attend the man who had been shot in the back; it attended to a white female office who was having an anxiety attack! Talk about "white priorities"! The white officer, a female by the name of Erin Perrotta, had became hysterical; so the first ambulance which arrived 14 minutes into the scene was designated by other police officers to ignore Dyshan Best, (who was severely injured and would later die), and address the hysterical cop who was crying.  The first ambulance arrived at 6:02, appropriated by officers to attend to Perrotta, and a second ambulance would arrive  at 6:12, finally for the black man shot in the back. There was a 10 minute gap between the two ambulances arrival times.

Best arrived at the hospital 14 minutes after Perotta arrived. Approximately  one hour and twenty minutes later upon his arrival, he succumbed to his injuries. Will anyone ever know if Dyshan Best had been taken by ambulances first, if he would had survived? That seems very possible. One would think a man shot in the back should be taken first as opposed to a crying hysterical cop, who should not be a police officer in the first place. Crying, that's fine, hysterics is not fine, and quite dangerous. But the difference between how these two individuals were treated is obviously a case based on race. Many white people will rally around the officers' decision to diss Best, saying black Best was a thug, and the white officer was crying. Like I said earlier, "white priorities".

The AP further reports on the incident: 'Perrotta approached the passenger’s side of the vehicle and opened the door. Best is seen on police body camera video in the passenger’s seat, holding a bottle of alcohol, a vape pen and a cellphone. Perrotta asks Best to step out of the SUV so she could pat him down, the video shows. Best gets out of the vehicle, then runs away with police chasing after him."

There is "debate" as to whether the officer who shot Best, by the name Yoon Heo, misinterpreted the vape pen in Best's hand to be gun, which has been described as a 9mm handgun. Once again, Best was shot in the back, running through a parking lot of disabled cars. There is body cam footage of the deadly encounter.

Whether this was justifiable force remains to be seen, but the problem here is an obvious one. A man shot in the back, even a black man, deserves to receive immediate medical treatment. Instead, in this incident as paramedics arrive, Perrotta, who is white, is selected to usurp an ambulance originally meant for a black man who was shot--all because she is hysterical? 

This happens all the time in America, same type of play, just in different theaters. 

Markwayne Mullin To Replace Kristi Noem

Felon-in-chief, Donald Trump has fired the Department of Homeland Security; replacing ICE Barbie Kristi Noem with Oklahoma cowboy Markwayne Mullin. Cringe. I do not think we are better off with this guy who lives and breathes Donald Trump. Oklahoma is a deep red state, filled with Donald Trump worshipers in its white nationalist Christian heartland.

Mullin, who is a tribal member of the Cherokee nation, has generated enthusiasm by some of its tribal leaders about his new role to head DHS. Mullin is strictly MAGA all the way, a white supremacist despite his Cherokee lineage, and has continuously demonstrated his support for ICE tactics. including the murderous activities of federal agents. Further more Mullin approves the anti-color D.E.I. policies put out by the Trump administration and embraces "white replacement" politics.  It is rather sad to see some Natives esteem this senator from Oklahoma so greatly, just because he is part Cherokee. Myself, I would weigh the detrimental things he has done to other people, and not just what he might do or has done for Native tribes. You will never see me excusing Byron Donalds, Clarence Thomas..., just because they are black. I consider them white supremacists as well, since they fit the definition of believing whites are a superior race. Unfortunately, I have met my share of racist Native Americans. One cannot assume because a person is of color, that they are not pro-Trump. We saw this with the Latino vote in the 2024 presidential election, as well as a sizable portion of Native Americans selecting a white supremacist over the black woman.

Brains are not required by Trump, evident by him selecting Markwayne Mullin. Expertise is not required, as none of his department heads have much expertise--more like ZERO qualifications. The number one requisite for the Trump administration is "loyalty", an attribute demanded by mafia leaders and gang leaders. The Associated Press reports "White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration will work with the GOP-led Senate to get Mullin, whom she called “extraordinarily qualified,” confirmed to lead DHS “as soon as possible.”

Our nation's security is getting weaker by the day, and the internal chaos plus a new war with Iran along with other illegal military strikes is setting up our nation for catastrophic consequences. I cannot see this mess ending well. If anything, the actions of this administration has simply further fueled international hostilities towards the United States. And there is no safety in that fact, no more than there is consolation in Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin heading the Department of Homeland Security. 

US And Israel Strikes Iran

America, our nation has been catapulted into a war with Iran. Today, early Saturday, February 28 2026, the United States and Israel launched a major combat operation against the country of Iran. The first strike occurred near the office headquarters of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who may had been a target.

Iran swiftly retaliated, striking several United States military bases throughout the Middle East. At this point, there has been no estimation of causalities (including fatalities) on either side.

Donald Trump, in a customary self-serving speech to exhibit a grandiose display of power, declared that Iran has continued to develop nuclear capacity; and furthermore feared the development of nuclear missiles to strike the United States. However, this area of contention between the two countries has expanded decades, right along with Iran's nuclear capacity. Consequently, in the midst of Trump's continued efforts to deflect from his relationship Jeffrey Epstein, we will likely suffer the loss of some U.S. military personnel. He is simply, diabolical. 

One must also consider that Russia is an ally with Iran. Steeped in Eurocentric arrogance which directs contempt towards people of darker shades, this white supremacist administration will underestimate Iran's potential to inflict damage. Dont' get me wrong, I am no fan of Iran's government and its brutality, but I am not for a war simply because a despicable man wants to hide his pedophilia. This man could care less about the people of Iran or because its government is killing citizens which protest (...why did I just think of Renne Nicole Good and Alex Pretti?). 

Do I like Iran having nuclear capacity? No. Does Iran have a right to have nuclear capabilities? I think so, but nevertheless, I do not like it. America cannot police and control the world anymore. This is why sincere diplomacy matters.

Just this past week, a United States delegation met in Iran to discuss their country's nuclear capabilities. Afterwards, both countries expressed very positive statements about the talks. However, today, out of nowhere, the United States conducts military strike upon Iran. It  seems like these talks initiated by the U.S. was just a ruse, to throw off an impending military operation against the country of Iran. Such is how the Trump administration operates, and we have seen a similar tactic with Israel concerning Gaza as well. *I am updating this paragraph as Iran has stated there are a number of civilian casualties. 

Trump will take this world down to avoid prison. He will nationalize elections to avoid prison. And there is no telling what else he just might do. 

Black Men Found Hanging In Trees, This Past Year!

Mother, mother                                                                                                                                    There's too many of you crying                                                                                                          Brother, brother, brother                                                                                                                      There's far too many of you dying                                                                                                           Marvin Gaye "What's Going On"                                                                                                  

Something's amiss. I feel greatly troubled, because black men have been reportedly hanging themselves in trees, at least four within a year's time span since the year 2025. Black men are not people to hang themselves, for black people know about this nation's history of lynching. It is an abhorrent act to blacks, for lynching has been a way to murder and terrorize black people throughout America's racist history. No, black men are not hanging themselves.  I do, however, believe others are hanging them. That's murder.

We are living in a period where the United States, under the direction of a white supremacist leader openly celebrates racist ideologies and takes action accordingly. Racism is ok "again" (aka "Make America Great Again"),  nor should racism be rebuked or legislated against in policies, save the erroneous argument against "white discrimination". The idea under this regime is white people are being discriminated against because of D.E.I. policies, whether in education, housing and employment. Consequently, as 34-count convicted felon perverted Donald Trump and his racist entourage continue to sow seeds of division; white supremacists feel emboldened to vamp up atrocities against people of color. After all, is not our federal government erecting concertation camps for illegal immigrants (with detainees experiencing mysterious deaths inside labeled as "suicide") and killing people in political opposition such as Renne Good and Alex Pretti? We are very much like Nazi Germany at this point in time. 

Demartravion Trevon Reed (Trey Reed), a 21 year old black student was found hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. His body was discovered early in the morning on Septermber 15, 2025, near pickle ball courts on the college campus. The university and local police declared there was no evidence of foul play, declaring it a suicide--and did so very quickly. His family was left in the dark during the early investigation, and I am uncertain as to how many answers they have received to date.

The "incident" with Trevon Reed occurred within a week after white supremacist Charlie Kirk was murdered; his death was also on a college campus. Immediately upon learning the news of Trey Reed's death, I thought this is "retaliation" all based on racial warfare as perceived by white supremacists. It was not based on what Trey Reed might had done or stood for, but simply because he was a black man. Only because he was a black man. Details would later emerge that Kirk was killed by a white man, but such a fact does not matter to white supremacists. Not at all.

"There were at least 581 lynchings in Mississippi from 1882 through 1968, the most of any state, according to the NAACP. A lynching is a public killing done outside the justice system, usually by a mob that was often aided or ignored by authorities. Nearly all the victims were Black. Tree hangings were frequently used to send a message of terror to the Black community."  (statement from The Marshall Project)

In April 2025, Earl Smith, a 58 year old black man from Albany New York was found hanging from a tree. His family believes foul play was involved, yet police ruled it as homicide. At that time, Earl Smith was on a trucking assignment for his employer.

Mario Kaiser Jr., was found dead on April 29, 2025, with a noose around his neck, 50 feet from his apartment complex. Why would someone intending to commit suicide go outside to hang himself, and not within his own apartment? That simply makes zero sense! His family suspects foul play, yet once again, the police ruled it a suicide. No autopsy was ever performed in his case. 

Just this past week, Kyle Bassinga (depicted in photo on top of this post), a 21 year old black man was found hanging from a tree in Marietta, Georgia, along a walking trail in a park. Police are stating there is no evidence of foul play, and yet again, ruling it as a suicide. There is very little coverage on this case. Kyle was a student at Georgia State University. Few details have been released to the general public (and probably little to his family as well).

Two, 21 year old black men, both students, found hanging from a tree within a year's span. I am not buying it. In all of these cases, the families have not been satisfied with the police investigations into the deaths of their love ones. These are the hangings of black men which I learned of, but some part of me wonders if there were more of such incidents in the past year. Look at our Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and even our local police--can we trust information dispersed by these people?

What's going on? I would not assume these occurrences to be suicides on face value.
