As I sit comfortably, I wonder what thoughts would arise in my mind in this particular moment of serenity on my couch? Would the ‘crease’ of information cast a shadow over which thought would rule in that moment? Is that the most important ‘concern’ that must be addressed, or that thought that would make humanity lose ‘decency’ and ‘order’ rule the debate?
It is long known that Black people make calculations based on spiritual clarity for all given situations. Now the keys to this discernment was taught to all of us long ago in the ‘fold’. The ‘fold’ is the place, the energy, where the two choices lie. The barrier between the ‘fold’ is the darkness that separates called the ‘crease’. As Black people, we don’t necessarily chose the option that is free of ‘shadow’. Black people choose wisely between the two choices available because making no choice is worse.
So, we use a ‘pick’ to break the surface to know what’s underneath, or we use a ‘shovel’ to remove the debris and clutter that hides the ‘purpose’ beneath.
Issue 25: Time to do Some Heavy Lifting
There is a lot of tomfoolery that’s going to have to be carried (symbolically) out of the United States Congress on next Tuesday November 3rd, 2026. Get your shovels (symbolically) ready to bury that bigoted trashy hatred as deep as we can this time. Yeah. I know. I’m telling you shit weighs more than you think when you let it pile up (metaphorically speaking).
I laughed as I recalled another fond phrase we always said when our leaders came to the ranks telling us about something important we had to do. You know what our response was to each other? Oh man. We got to ‘shine shit’ again.
Americans. I’m not going to lie to you or say to you we’re asking you to throw out good Republicans next Tuesday November 3rd, 2026. There are no good Republicans. Now there’s an abundance of Republicans good at bullshitting you that’s for dam sure!
Again people? Where do you think the Medicaid dollars, one Trillion to be exact, that the Republicans cut came from? Is it ‘Magic Money’? That one Trillion the Republicans are giving and gave to the super rich came out of and still is coming out of your back breaking daily work! You just make sure when you get hurt on the job to thank a Republican. Magic money is not what Donald J. Trump says when he is ‘making millions of dollars’!
Donald J. Trump started the war in Iran. Don’t say Donald J. Trump didn’t know gas prices would rise as a consequence. Don’t do that. Don’t keep lying to yourself Americans. Donald J. Trump and the Republicans could care less if they’re taking more of your hard earned money. They’ve already set up legal stealing and legal slavery again with your Medicaid deduction from your paycheck.
Oh c’mon. Somebody help me. Next Tuesday November 3rd, 2026 is your chance to throw the Republican bums out of office. You already know why. Do it or don’t do it. Your choice.
Be well.
