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 18: ‘They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end’.
I bet you the majority of people standing outside a bar watching drunks come out of it would not get in the car with a drunk. I’m going to believe in humanity on that assertion.
So why then would a majority of voters put Donald J. Trump back into an office that requires high level reasoning, logic, integrity, honor, morality and human decency. Why? Don’t keep repeating that lie that Donald J. Trump had a good economy before COVID 19 hit. Every President either is handed a good or bad economy from his or her predecessor. Donald J. Trump got a pretty good ‘hand’ from President Barack Obama. All Donald J. Trump had to do was let it play.
Now. Did Donald J. Trump receive a workable ‘hand’ from President Joe Biden? Yes he did. That said American voters. What happened? I mean did Donald J. Trump give you what you wanted? Americans. You ‘picked’ Donald J. Trump knowing who he was. What you’re getting from Donald J. Trump is exactly what ‘you’ deserve! Full stop.
Americans. That’s why the truth ‘bats’ a thousand every time the truth comes up to bat. The truth hits a single, a double, a triple, or a home run every time! Have you figured out where I’m going with this yet. Yeah! That’s why you are vexed with what Donald J. Trump has delivered to you. Donald J. Trump swings and misses wildly every at bat! ‘At your wit’s end’ should be put on a sign and posted on whatever door you leave out of your residence.
I know most of you have gotten in a car with a person that has been drinking before. I have. When I was young and partying that is. I certainly wouldn’t get into the car with a drunk now! That’s why we’re warned that reasoning and emotional capabilities are lowered when people are under the influence of chemical or alcoholic substances. We were taught to avoid those people because you can’t reason with them.
Right you are! We’re at the mercy of a draft dodging Commander-in-Chief along with his Defense Secretary that couldn’t command a ‘soiled laundry’ company! ‘At their wit’s end’? Magnify that Americans if you can when the stakes mandate effectively operating the American Federal government!
Donald J. Trump isn’t feeling that pressure. You all know he’s not. C’mon man? You know Donald J. Trump couldn’t tell you his plan for his next ‘hotel’ in Russia let alone why he sent our military resources to ‘dilly dally’ around in the waters off the Middle East with obviously no plan, precision or purpose.
The Republicans in the United States Congress will not tell him that he is squandering and draining the fighting spirit of our brave warriors. Who in the White House is going to explain to Donald J. Trump the error of his ways? Right! Nobody. All the people that surround Donald J. Trump are Republican White Supremacist dead-enders! Yes. Those White Supremacists 2+2=22 motherfuckers.
You have to have ‘smarts’ in order to have ‘wit’s. No ‘Legacy media’. Just because somebody has some credential on paper and White skin doesn’t mean they have ‘smarts’ which should inform them they should have some ‘virtues’ as well. Alas, White Supremacist dead-enders only ‘drool’ at the ‘root’ of the evil in the White House.
Yes. The ‘love of money’ is all the demi-god Donald J. Trump cares about. Now. I bet you next time a lot of people who call themselves believing in the name of a political party. The ‘Republicans’. Will know from now on that Republican ‘professions’ of spiritual purity are all a ‘façade’.
If you don’t voters I’d suggest you buy a ‘shovel’ with a long handle cause you will be shoveling the shit of Republicans for a long time still to come if you don’t vote Democrats into office.
‘Pick’ wisely on November 3rd, 2026.
Be well.
