…..In the 97 years of The Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts and Science history…..no film directed by a Indigenous North American person…..has even been nominated for an Oscar….until now….and the film is called….. “Sugarcane”…..nominated for best documentary.
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP…..Donald Jr. was born in 1977….Ivanka was born in 1981…..Eric was born in 1984…..their mother Ivana…..didn’t become a U.S. citizen until 1988….so, if birthright citizenship is being revoked and children are getting deported…..shouldn’t they be first on the list?
REP. NYDIA VELAZQUEZ…… “They also released hundreds of violent criminals….like Enrique Tarrio, Stuart Rhodes….and hundreds who were convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6th…..those people were criminally convicted…..and Donald Trump didn’t care…..a bit about safer communities when…..he released those who were convicted of beating the shit out of a police officer….so don’t come to us and talk…..about security and safer communities…..when you do that.”
WEED MOMENT…..While I was sitting in the kitchen…..watching our 5 minute snowstorm fall outside my window….my brain asked me a question while I toked on my blunt…. “Are scrambled eggs fried chickens?”
TRUMP WANTS THE DEPT. of EDUCATION TO BE CLOSED IMMEDIATELY…..If you’re not educated….you won’t know what’s going on….just what America needs…..more dumbass MAGA followers…..Linda McMahon…his pick for education secretary…..fall into the same category as his other picks for cabinet positions…..they’re not qualified for the position….but are willing to go along and not disagree with the Emperor….her role would lead the department that oversees schools, collect student data….and manage the federal student aid system….and before her confirmation hearing….. “STUPID” said he aims to shut down the department altogether…..he wants to send education back to the states….and some GOP lawmakers have said….that education can be managed at the local level….and that the federal agency isn’t needed….do you have an idea how many more stupid people there will be….in the “Bible Belt?”….this fool even signed an executive order…..to “promote patriotic education” in public schools and eliminate ideologies….that don’t align with his politics….people do you see what direction this is going in?…..if not…..please read 1984 again…..the Dept, of Education manages grants and student loans….money Elon Musk will steal….and keep students in debt like forever ……who still owe money on their outstanding loans…..it also collects data on student outcomes..…that data monitors reading and literacy scores….and kids proficiency levels….take the smart one….weed out the stupid ones….that shouldn’t be hard since most Americans read at a sixth-grade level anyway…..it also oversees schools and colleges….well, unless more of them join “STUPID” patriotic education program….many schools will either kiss the ring…..or close….I think it’s time for people to “Self-medicate” their own education because it’s pretty obvious…..the government isn’t going to help you….here are a few books…..books that may help you understand what the American future may bring…..Why Black Men Nod at Each Other-A Memoir (Bill Raynor)……Medical Apartheid (Harriet A. Washington)…..Caste (Isabel Wilkerson)……Mein Kampf (Hitler)….The New Jim Crow (Michelle Alexander)…..Nigger (Dick Gregory)….Nickel Boys (Colson Whitehead)….The Prophet (Kahil Gibran)….White Rage (Carol Anderson)……Women, Race & Class (Angela Y. Davis)….The Warmth of Other Suns (Isabel Wilkerson)…..Stamped From The Beginning (Ibram X. Kendi)…..Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury)….and the films THX 1138……Logan’s Run…..and definitely…..Soylent Green.
SOME THINGS YOU JUST CAN’T WRITE…..Remember that guy…..Pete Hegseth….who was for some unknown reason…..thought to be a good choice for the position of Secretary of Defense…..a position that ain’t no joke…..even for an intelligent person…..anyway,….he got into it with a reporter at the NATO Summit…..I love this reporter…..
REPORTER: So just to be clear, you think values don’t matter in war?
HEGSETH: Look, values are great, but you can’t exactly fight off the left with values.
REPORTER: Tell that to the French Resistance, who fought Nazis with nothing but belief before they had weapons. Or to Poland, where underground fighters kept their nation alive despite being occupied by the world’s biggest armies.
HEGSETH: I’m just saying, when it comes down to it, strength wins, not ideals.
REPORTER: Then explain how the U.S. lost in Vietnam, why the Soviets collapsed after Afghanistan, or how Afghanistan itself fought off three empires. Firepower alone doesn’t mean victory-ask Russia, stuck in Ukraine despite superior weapons.
HEGSETH: Well, military power still matters more than words.
REPORTER: And yet, words values —are why people choose to fight in the first place. Ukraine didn’t stand because of weapons; they stood because they refused to be ruled.
HEGSETH: So, you’re saying values win wars?
REPORTER: I’m saying values make armies fight harder, longer, and with more purpose. Without them, all the firepower in the world means nothing. Just ask the British Empire, the Soviets, or, soon enough, Putin.
