So i'm still wrapping my head around what motivated that National Guard Airman in Massachusetts 2 copy & share 100s of pages of CLASSIFIED Info. News Reports say he wanted 2 look like an 'OG' in his Discord Group, but didn't they teach him in Basic Training that divulging Government Secrets R grounds 4 TREASON?... And some still wonder why I call Gen- Z the Generation of Hard Lessons Learned.
-Brilliant!
Family, please don't get wrapped up in the Claudine Gay nonsense. She has No Connection 2 The Black Community; she is a Black Elitist that tried 2 move like the Folks she lived, played, & prayed w/. Claudine Gay wasn't released from Harvard bcuz she's a 'Black Woman'; she was released bcuz she's a confirmed plagiarist. Her mediocrity smacks in the face of those of Us who were taught: "U gotta B TWICE as good 2 get half the Credit"... Black American Women who did Real Work & Paid their Dues, will likely suffer from her selfishness.
No one can point 2 anything Claudine Gay has done 4 Blackfolk in Harvard, Cambridge, or the local Boston Area; she did plagiarize another Black Woman's work, & didn't stand up 4 the 2 Black Harvard Deans that were released 4 being on Harvey Weinstein's Defense Team a few years back. I dunno what Howard Univ. wants w/ a 'confirmed plagiarist' & failed Administrator; maybe they should look 4 a Black American Woman w/ Real Qualifications & a commitment to Integrity.

Katt Williams' interview w/ Shannon Sharpe on 'Club Shay Shay' is still reverberating ... My takeaway from it, was Katt's confirmation of Industry Plants & Gatekeepers. Several were revealed following Diddy's 'outing', but Katt literally blew the levies off! So far, EVERYONE that responded 2 this interview has spoken in Mush Mouthed tones (including Shannon Sharpe). Comedy is like Battle Rap- U either come Strong, or Stay Home; All of those Cats should've Stayed Home... Hollywood IS a Shark Tank. It doesn't take much blood 2 start a feeding frenzy; ask Johnathan Majors. It's clear that these Boule Types have brought too many of their 'Masters' secrets into The Light... Look 4 the Lyor Cohens, Jerry Hellers, & Jimmy Iovines 2 start chumming the waters 2 save their Own necks.

America is in BIG TROUBLE. On top of a Dysfunctional Congress, a possible War w/ Russia, & an Illegal Immigrant Problem, We're being asked 2 choose between Donald 'Pee Pee Tape' Trump & Joe 'Dookie Drawers' Biden 4 POTUS... Conspiracy Theories predicting an eventual Gavin Newsome Presidency don't sound so far-fetched.

The 2024 Presidential Debate: Time for New Blood?
In a word, The 1st Presidential Debate of 2024 was BRUTAL! Both Candidates took personal shots at each other; but Joe Biden- to his Credit, offered more Substance than Donald Trump. Trump avoided questions on rising Child Care Costs, Drug Overdoses, & Israel's 'War On Gaza' to name a few, but Biden wasn't able to capitalize on his lack of Policy Measures. Joe Biden came across as 'Too Old for Primetime', & appeared to be regurgitating Talking Points more than confidently articulating his Agenda for the next 4 Years. Donald Trump rambled on & embellished the truth for most of The Debate, instead of answering questions directly. BOTH had moments where they were less than honest. Trump focused on Biden's Job Performance more than articulating his Own Agenda for the next 4 Years. Joe Biden seemed more cognizant AFTER The Debate, than during it.
Donald Trump- to his Credit, was more reserved than he was in the 2020 Presidential Debates. Ironically, it was Joe Biden who initiated the insults, but Trump apparently didn't take The Bait. BOTH performances were subpar for a Presidential Candidate; I understand why Robert Kennedy Jr. was kept off that Debate Stage. NEITHER Candidate offered a Real Solution to Black Specific Issues. Instead, Both pivoted to the Reliable Standard of including 'Hispanics' & 'Minorities' into the Black American conversation. Donald Trump commented that Illegal Immigrants were stealing 'Black Jobs'. Mainstream Media & some Blackfolk were insulted by the statement, but Black Men have been literally pushed out of Union Jobs; particularly in the Field of Construction, in favor of Immigrants. People seem to forget that Black Men have traditionally been Blue Collar Workers. Trump is a virtual King of 'Off Color Comments', but many of Us understood what he was trying to say.
From a Black Perspective, the pivot away from Black Specific Issues speaks volumes about BOTH Party Agendas. Most Black Americans can't afford HBCU Tuitions, so funding them is a Moot Point to Us. Offering Black Students Free or Lower Tuition to State Universities would make more sense. Joe Biden offered a $10K Tax Credit to Black 1st Time Home Buyers, but didn't elaborate on it. He appeared strongest on the topic of Abortion, but allowed Trump to flummox him on the topic; particularly Late Term Abortions. Donald Trump appeared strongest on the issue of Immigration & put Biden on the spot several times, but didn't offer a Specific Agenda on how he will tackle it. Trump also lacked a Policy for lowering Inflation, other than extending his Tax Cuts to Corporations. Joe Biden's Economic Plan, is the continuation of 'Bidenomics'- A Plan that many are already concerned about.
Political Analysts & Pundits covering the Debate were quick to point out Joe Biden's performance. Most felt that he missed several opportunities to catch Donald Trump in blatant lies; they also questioned his Physical & Mental Fitness. He was supposed to reassure his Base that he had the Strength & Mental Competence to Serve another 4 Years, but critics are questioning his ability to finish the 1st Term of Office. Several Democratic Strategists called Biden "feeble & weak". Joy Reid said that Dems she spoke w/ are bordering on 'panic'. Rumors are spreading of a possible intervention asking him to step down, but it might be too late to change Candidates. CNN was accused of Stacking the Deck in favor of Joe Biden, but Trump appeared comfortable w/ the format. Both Moderators allowed Donald Trump to embellish w/o fact checking him; was that their job, or Biden's to do?
Democrats are calling Joe Biden's performance 'A Bad Night' (citing a Cold & scratchy throat), while the GOP applauds Donald Trump for 'Doing what he had to do'. I thought that BOTH Candidates were mediocre. Trump is being congratulated for Side Stepping questions & presenting a Vision of Smoke & Mirrors. Biden took a week off to prepare, but instead of repeating his State Of The Union Address performance, he stumbled through most of the Debate. Mainstream Media tried to predict This Debate would rival the Kennedy vs Nixon Debate of 1960, but it wasn't even close. The best dialogue between the Candidates, was about their Golfing Handicaps. America deserves a President that will move Us forward, but We have 2 'Old Dudes' caught up in their Own Egocentricity.
Donald Trump admitted that he's only running again, because he didn't see a GOP Candidate that could defeat Joe Biden. There are GOP Moderates out there that Republican Leadership & Voters could legitimately support. A few might even sway Independents, Libertarians, & disaffected Democrats; but grassroot support for the 'MAGA Agenda' has silenced most, out of fear of being labeled 'RINO'... I thought that This 'Pre Baby Boomer' Generation was willing to pass the baton when Barack Obama was Elected, but it seems like they've Doubled Down since he left Office. We currently have a Congress run by folks adamant about holding Power until it's pried from their Cold Dead Hands. The World Dynamic is changing & America needs to adapt. The Era of 'Neo Conservatives' & 'Neo Liberals' has run its Course- BOTH allowed the development of a Plutocratic Billionaire Class that has literally choked the Middle Class.
The Future Generations of American Society are NOT expected to outperform the previous Generations. Gen. Z in particular, is DROWNING before They can even Start; but Our 'Elder States[Wo]Men' don't seem fazed by This. They ALL seem content w/ taking The Country Down w/ them.
