It's Black History Month We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. When you're kind to someone in trouble, you hope they remember and are kind to someone else and so on. Soon it will be like a wildfire. -Whoopi Goldberg

February is Black History Month “We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.” -Beyonce’ “I knew then and I know now, when it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it.” -Claudette Colvin

Instead of spending his time firing bird flu containment workers, firing the people who oversee our nuclear stockpile, & firing health care providers for Native Americans, perhaps he should be doing a little reading about how well things turned out for some of history's other Dictators. Not Pretty.

February is Black History Month “Don’t be afraid to go outside the box. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Don’t be afraid to fail big, to dream big, but remember, dreams without goals are just dreams. And they ultimately fuel disappointment.” - Denzel Washington

Do we need any more evidence that DJT is owned by Putin? More than his lie-laced post about Ukraine starting a war they could not win while Rubio and Russian delegates hold a peace conference with no Ukraine delegates invited? Poor war-weary Putin! Who's going to attack DJT's best friend next?

DJT told yet another stupid, easy to fact-check lie today, saying Zelensky's approval rating in Ukraine is 4%, the truth being that Zelensky's 50% approval rating is higher than his in the US. Of course, his news source is probably located in Russia.

February is Black History Month “Every time you state what you want or believe, you’re the first to hear it. It’s a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don’t put a ceiling on yourself.” - Oprah Winfrey

Jefferson is referring to the oppression of George III here, but does history repeat itself? "A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” ― Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence

February is Black History Month “One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings.” – Franklin Thomas

DJT is pressuring the Romanians to go easy on his pals, the Tate brothers, who fled there from the UK to escape charges of rape, human trafficking, plus the rest of the crime list common to his best friends. Maybe he wants Andrew Tate for Transportation Secretary? It's all about humans in traffic.

It's President's Day. Remembering my Favorite GOP President: "America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment." -Dwight D. Eisenhower

February is Black History Month "A democracy cannot thrive where power remains unchecked and justice is reserved for a select few. Ignoring these cries and failing to respond to this movement is simply not an option – for peace cannot exist where justice is not served.” – John Lewis

He named it the Gulf of America to use the "American waters" of the Gulf for massive off-shore drilling. It's all about pay-off from the oil companies. Everything he does is a fake patriotic scheme to make his owner/donors and himself richer. Everything. It's that simple and that sinister.

February is Black History Month "Never be limited by other people's limited imaginations."-
Dr. Mae Jemison, first black female astronaut “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles overcame while trying to succeed.” -Booker T. Washington

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

February is Black History Month "In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute." -Thurgood Marshall, First Black U.S. Supreme Court Justice "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." -Jackie Robinson, American baseball player

This is Black History Month 
“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” -Arthur Ashe "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." - Muhammad Ali

I’m looking forward to a future headline: “They had a Press Conference & Nobody Came.” Various news services that inadvertently tell the truth once in a while are barred anyway & he rambles incessantly, answering nothing, blaming everyone for everything in his whiny baby voice. So, stay home, okay?
