Feed a kid a meal and feed them tomorrow. Teach them to garden, they feed themselves

I just watched an amazing gentleman on ted talks. Ron Finley like a lot of people who lived in Los Angeles watched the murder rate go through the roof as a kid. Then it stopped. After the Rodney King ordeal in the early 90's, the Bloods and Crips decided enough was enough. They were running out of manpower and bullets.

Ron Finley watched another destructive force move into his community. Fast Food Resturants. The drive-thrus were killing more than the drive-bys. Folks dying from curable diseases like diabetes. Dialysis centers were popping up like Starbucks. At that point, Mr. Finley said enough.

He started a garden on a vacant piece of land with the city didn't care about. Of course, after one complaint the city came down on him. Threaten him with a fine. Okay, this man has survived in the most dangerous areas of your city and a fine is supposed to scare him. No! A fine isn't going to scare someone who grew up with drive-bys where a part of the night. LA Times got involved and the tone from city changed real quick and there was a petition put up on the internet.

Bottom line, we need more people like Mr. Ron Finley. We need them across the country before having a community is as illegal as having a home garden is in some areas.

America: How Does She Change?

The last few days, I have seen numerous videos regarding the trafficking of humans getting worse than ever in this cesspool called America. This has got to stop. NOW! No more waiting.  September 5, 1985! The day when Johnny Gosch went missing. Nooren Gosch has done multiple interviews about what her family went through after Johnny Gosch went missing. Mrs. Gosch was told Johnny would come home after he calmed down. They let her know he was ‘a runaway”. Sound familiar? The FBI was of NO help. So, the idea that the FBI 'recovered’ children in Florida is a joke. How did they come in and find these children out of the blue? Seriously! Approximately 73 million children since 2023. Why aren't these numbers updated?  I just find it strange that Trump's attempts to cover up his involvement with Epstein AND Maxwell, BPFs to the super elite, was a disaster, now the FBI find over 60 children in Florida, home of Mar Lago, are instantly found. Then there were children rescued in Louisia...

Reality Check

  This video is straightforward. There is no dancing around the bush. If you’re offended by profanity, don’t watch it.  Trump’s Certification Let’s start there. This should show people that the event in 2021 was staged chaos—nothing more. Since 2001, spontaneous access to federal government buildings has been a thing of the past. It simply doesn’t happen now.  Canada to be the 51 st state.  Have you people lost your minds? You don’t want to be the 51 st state. You will lose everything that makes Canada unique—mainly your healthcare system. Stay independent from America. Civil War in America. Here’s where the plain simple talking or Reality check comes in. NO FUCKING WAY! It’s simply not possible. There are a variety of things that must happen for a war to happen.  Common Enemy. A group of people must agree on a common enemy. We can’t even agree on how to cook pasta. There’s been a carefully created division among Americans. It’s been maintained for decades. Eac...

Who Gets To Run For Office?

  Have you ever wondered why some people in America are eligible to run for an office like the Senate or President, but others who might be more qualified are not ? I have been wondering about this. Let’s first examine the cost of running for a national office. Before we get started, let's look at what the base cost was to run for an office in 1915, right before the Federal Reserve was established.  The Senate seat was $2k up to but not exceeding $10k.  Presidential $5k to $10k. You see the difference. The average American could afford to run before the Federal Reserve was established.  The most expensive state: Texas is hands down the most expensive state. Coming it at  $199,959,917. This is insane. It takes almost two million dollars to run for a Senate seat in Texas.  The least expensive state was a surprise, considering what it’s known for: Nevada. Yes, the state with the highest concentration of casinos and legalized brothels is the least expensive to...
