“HAPPY THANKSTAKING DAY”

Thanksgiving Day was not celebrated as a national holiday until President Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Pilgrims, Native Indigenous People or Yard Buzzard.

The US has never been A Democracy. At best, it has been A Constitutional Republic. James Madison saw government's role as “protecting the opulent minority from the majority”. What little remained of Democracy in this nation has been on life-support since the assassination of JFK in 1963.

1. I can get a swastika tattoo.
2. I can get a hangman’s noose tattoo.
3. A self-admitted 300-year-old Vampire is “the world’s greatest human”.
4. Telling US armed forces personnel not to follow illegal orders is Sedition and is Punishable-by-Death.
5. Fifteen will no longer “get-me-twenty”.

I was a member of the last all-black graduating class when Mount Zion Elementary School (MZES) was still a “separate-but-equal” / “equalization” school on Segregated Johns Island, South Carolina.

“GO-FIGURE”

Target’s sales have been down 25% for the past three months. 1800 employees are slated to be laid-off. Lots of reasons have been provided except the fact that there has been a boycott targeted against Target since they eliminated their DEIA hiring policy.

(Go, Figure…….).

I simply detest hearing people who believe that they are sounding politically-sophisticated by using bumper sticker quips like “Drink the Kool-Aid.” Anyone who uses such quips is either Ignorant or simply Insensitive, because more than 900 people died on November 18, 1978, in Jonestown, Guyana.

Award-Winning Journalist Jacquie Stephens has left us. 1983-2009 she was the News and Public Affairs Director at KJLH (102.3FM). As the-only black news director in the LA market, Jacquie was considered “The Queen of LA Black Talk Radio”.

Although she receives little / no media attention, My Little Sister” Arena Rodriguez (Peru) has been holding-her-own all year often against more-experienced professional surfers.

During the recent World Surf League “Iquique Pro 2025”, she won each of her heats to winning that WSL Junior Tour event.
