When I saw a political commercial about voting for amendment 2 in the Louisiana election, the endorser was <checks notes> Curtis Jackson?
50 CENT?!?!?
That convinced me to vote no on all of the admendments.
Congratulations, Louisiana!

For those who have said that they didn’t see what was coming with the federal government, I don’t think it’s that simple. It looks like they were told what would happen but they didn’t believe it.

I have two questions for those who have said people who have “Trump regrets” should be shown empathy and not mocked for their choice.
1. Has anyone said this who isn’t white.
2. Are they being mocked or being held accountable for their choice?
Let me know if there’s any questions.

Has anyone noticed that Donald Trump’s revenge tour is incompetent? He’s been screwing over mostly the people who have voted for him. I can understand ruining the lives of black people that didn’t vote for you, but whites and Hispanics? How did he screw that up?

The following sentence describes politics in America.
“There’s no police brutality because I’ve never been shot by police”.

The people who deny Jan. 6th are continuing American denialism. Notice how W. Bush voters deny his entire presidency. Notice that the Iraq War has been reduced to Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal. In the name of “values” I guess.

Happy New Year! Even though at 3:15 AM on Jan. 1, things weren’t great for downtown New Orleans. I was lucky to be home asleep when this happened. Here’s hoping to the Big East being more safe and be careful out there.

I’ve just realized that the “smooth jazz” of the 1980’s represents MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech. They’re both palatable versions of a reality most people would rather avoid. Saying “I like that type of jazz” is akin to reducing MLK to the “content of character” quote.

Why am I just noticing, after all these years, the theme music to the 1960’s sitcom “My Three Sons” is based on the song “Chopsticks”?

How long do you think it will take, when the new administration starts, for someone who voted for Trump, or didn’t vote at all, to say, “I thought his opponents were just fearmongering”.

It’s sad that there are those who view the events of Jan. 6, 2021 as thought nothing happened. They think “insurrection” is a far left-wing narrative. However, I think of the 1898 Wilmington massacre and say, “That’s America”.

Have you ever noticed that there is music that is fashionable and then it’s not? I’m saying this because pianist Ahmad Jamal’s music was fashionable in 1950’s. However, it wasn’t in the 1960’s so a lot of great records weren’t recognized.
