Per earlier posts, this site must be viewed on a desk top. It just does not load correctly on Iphones or other devices. That said, I caught a glimpse of it on an Iphone recently, and it was a hot mess, so, word to the wise. Please view on desktop, tablet or laptop, because, in terms of its configuration, the site does not translate well on other devices.

May try to update one or two threads by or before Monday, but not making any promises, since I have other things to do ahead of that, but we'll see. Hopefully there'll be updates by or before Halloween tho, but like I said... we'll see.

A few folk have been shouting SNL season 51 out for having no black female cast members, but thats a non - issue for me. That is, race should never be a consideration when hiring cast members for SNL or any other sketch comedy show, because the ability to be a comic lead or supporting actor, as well as the ability to gel with the sketch comedy format that drives the show, is all that matters. And, besides, at the end of the day, not every comic is a good fit for SNL or vice a versa. It doesn't get any more complicated than that.

Extremely bothered by the sentence in the Combs case yesterday, but then, I'm extremely bothered by the case itself. Like I said before tho, the court process , and in particular, the criminal justice system , is a business isn't it? So why shut U.S. vs Combs down, when the Court and the attorneys can continue to get paid until the appeal is exhausted, up to and thru the Supreme Court?
And , that Combs was sentenced on the 30th anniversary of the Simpson verdict?! Really? Sorry, not a coincidence. Simply, what better way to mark the anniversary of the Simpson verdict, than to imprison Sean Combs, a wealthy black man with a black agenda. At the end of the day, neither Combs nor Simpson stayed in their lane , so both had to be handled -- thru the courts, which , arguably, have been weaponized for this very purpose.
That said, given that the Ohio Attorney Generals Office was used to take control of Mt Zion Baptist Church in 'Ohio vs Mt Zion ,' ( one of the most egregious lawsuits in modern history), I blow a fuse at the very thought of Mike DeWine, David Yost , Kristine Hayes et al... who shoulda woulda coulda been criminally charged , but were not. Periodt. That is, DeWine and Hayes brought the case. Yost continued it, while still other assistant attorney generals made appearances on the record. All should have been held accountable, but were not. Periodt.
Meanwhile, Sean Combs has been sentenced to four years in prison, for violating The Mann Act, an antiquated law which never should have been enacted in the first place-- at least not with respect to adult behavior. The bottom line is that The Mann Act allows for the criminalization of moral misconduct , and thats a call or judgment Uncle Sam should not be making.

Isn't it ironic that Diddy is being sentenced on the anniversary of the OJ Simpson verdict, which was entered exactly thirty years ago today? While many, if not most, in da hood believe (then and now) that OJ was framed, the popular narrative says otherwise. That said, the media continues to make the Simpson case a racially divisive talking point, and , generally speaking , has , for thirty years, refused to except the not guilty verdict.
update: TMZ just announced Diddys sentence. He got four years... But is the Court making an example of him? THAT is the question. Or was U.S. vs Combs merely a humiliation ritual? THAT is the other question.

Todays Homepage originally featured a humor clip from content creator, Leor Cabessa. The clip made light of the challenges one faces during the Yom Kippur fast. Altho it was very funny and clever, it was removed from the Homepage over concerns of appropriateness, or rather, inappropriateness, and replaced with a gif that promotes the power of prayer. Simply, given everything that is going on in the world, particularly in Gaza, it is difficult to laugh and cry at the same time, but it is always easy to pray, thus the switch up on the Homepage. That said, if Yom Kippur had fallen on any other day of the week, there wouldnt have been an issue, but it fell on Thursday, a day that is typically reserved to discuss Gaza and related issues, so the clip was removed to avoid the appearance of being indifferent.

As I've said in the past, I can not babysit these posts. I write them and expect them to remain intact, yet, they are often tampered with, so as to result in a deletion, incoherent post, or void hyperlink. For instance, the links to the Associated Press land theft series had to be redone more than once, despite they were initially intact, while a list of Rotten Egg receipients @ Media Gone Wrong disappeared. Now, I've noticed that portions of a recent Black Bobcat thread disappeared, resulting in a fully incoherent post that I had to correct. And there are other examples, but, the bottom line is that content on the site is often tampered with, so as to render it ineffective , if not fully incoherent -- particularly if the subject matter is controversial. So, just saying : I can not baby sit the content, but then, I shouldnt have to.

In the days after he transitioned, my Pope Francis appeared in a vision, and told me to speak out against the war in Gaza. I responded, "consider it done."
On Monday , ( September 16), he appeared in another vision and said , "Keep going," to which I replied: '10/4.'

I'ts been a year since I updated the Canton and other threads, but I'll update them at some point. I simply don't have time to blog at length about events that shouldn't have transpired in the first place, nor do I have time to blog at length about the people , agencies or officials that carried the acts out, but, again, I'll update the threads at some point. I just haven't had time for it and not really trying to make time.
That said, and on a slightly other note, I think the Sean Combs legal drama is about his stake in REVOLT. That is, Combs founded , chaired and launched REVOLT ( a digital cable network) in October 2013. In November, 2023, however, just over a year after REVOLT marked its tenth anniversary, Combs 'Cassie Ventura drama' began , when Ventura filed a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Suffice to say, all hell broke loose after Ventura filed the now infamous Complaint that named Combs and several of his business entities as defendants. Although it was ultimately settled out of court, the Complaint, which set forth various allegations, preceded, if not facilitated, the September 2024 indictment against Combs. In turn, Combs sold his stake in REVOLT and resigned. But was that the goal of the litigation? Was the Ventura case and other litigation merely a pretext to oust Combs at REVOLT and/or accomplish a hidden agenda? The systems hidden agenda? Specifically, is Sean Combs ongoing legal debacle really about the administration of justice, or has the legal system simply been weaponized to check Combs and others who fail to stay in their place? Just wondering, and asking for a friend.

If NBC were to start airing The Cosby Show reruns on Thursdays at 8 pm EST , and run all episodes in sequence from Season One on, it would be one of the highest rated programs, and, most likely would outpace the competition. If it were up to me, I'd do it, but, unfortunately, its not up to me ( just saying) 💕
July 3, 2025 Blogbit (edited 5:50 pm EST)
Since none of my recording platforms are working, I'm unable to make audio, and don't have time to write at length about one thing or another, so I'll just say this:
To a great extent, many cases, such as United States vs Sean Combs , function as a money grab for the Court, if not the system itself. That is, I allege, prosecutors are, more often than not, filing knowingly fraudulent criminal cases at an alarming rate, and as a way of generating money for the Court and all relevant parties. Moreover, wealthy black men are being targeted at a rate that is disproportionate to that of their white counterparts, but at the end of the day, and regardless of the outcome of this or any other case, everybody gets paid. And thats the point. Simply, the legal system is a business, just like any other. Thus, folks gotsta get paid. Soooo, since business is slow these days, many prosecutors are now filing frivolous cases for good measure , fifteen minutes of fame, and/or an easy payday. Afterall, wealthy defendants can afford costs and counsel up to , and thru, a US Supreme Court proceeding if need be. Right? So, many prosecutors will go for it and file , whether theres merit or not -- because everybody gets paid.
Long story short? United States vs Sean Combs was little more than a money grab -- an opportunity for the Court and all parties involved to make money, because Combs, as a black billionaire, was well able to pay the associated costs, and the Federal Prosecutors knew it-- but they also knew they didn't have a RICO case. They knew it. Everyone did ... including the streets and the jury, but they filed it anyway. They filed it because, again, regardless of the outcome, the Courts and all relevant parties receive a handsome payday. And thats the point-- one of them anyway. Sure, the jury returned Guilty verdicts on Count three, 'the Mann Act transportation of Cassandra Ventura,' and Count 5, 'the Mann Act transportation of Jane Doe,' but , frankly, with regard to the Mann Act aka the 'White Slave Traffic Act of 1910,' I'm not sure the jurors applied the law correctly. That is, based on its current reading , and pursuant to The National Law Center for Children and Families, the Mann Act , ( named after Congressman James Robert Mann (R) Illinois), 'criminalizes the transportation of minors, and the coercion of adults across state lines or to foreign countries, for the purpose of prostitution or commercial sex.' But were Jane Doe and Cassie Ventura coerced? I say no, because, seemingly, these occurrences were frequent, so wouldn't that make it consensual? That is, even if Jane and Cassie said 'no,' on one occasion, if they said 'yes,' on hundreds of other occasions, that makes it consensual in my book, but apparently the jurors thought otherwise, thus the guilty verdict on two counts. Still, as a result of United States vs Sean Combs, perhaps its time to rethink the Mann Act and its legal appropriateness. But for that matter, perhaps its time to rethink prostitution and legalize it, because, although prostitution is morally conflicting for some, if not many, the bottom line is: if someone wants to sell his or her body for commercial sex, whats it to you? More importantly, whats it to the government? In other words, perhaps its time for Uncle Sam to man up ( no pun intended), and stop playing bedroom police. And thats just on periodt. Frankly, I say the only reason prostitution hasn't been legalized to date, is because Uncle Sam hasn't figured out how to tax it and get his cut of the profits (lol). So, unless and until he does, you best believe, prostitution will remain a crime.
All that being said, there're other issues with United States vs Sean Combs. For one, initially, Diddy tried to turn himself in ( so as to avoid arrest and incarceration), but Federal prosecutors would not allow him to do so. In fact, in an interview with Newsweek, Diddys attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said, "They didn't want him to surrender, because, if he surrenders, they don't get to tell the judge that he's a flight risk and he's a danger, because , who as a danger and a flight risk, would fly to New York and surrender? So they didn't want him to surrender."
Of course, Diddy should have been allowed to surrender, which would have , most likely, resulted in his being booked and released , vs his being held without bond. But just exactly why has Diddy been held without bond anyway? It makes no sense- unless they're trying to break him, teach him a lesson, or make him an example for the rest of us. Afterall, isn't this a first offense? And isn't a defendant innocent until proven guilty? Absolutely. So, why no bond following his arrest, as if guilt had been determined ahead of the trial? It makes no sense. Diddy should have been allowed to surrender at the start of this debacle, then booked and released on his own recognizance. In the alternative, the Court should have set bond at a bond hearing, following his arrest. Either way, bond should have been set and continued pending the verdict and exhaustion of the appeal process -- but no bond was set, so Diddys been locked up for months. At the end of the day, the Federal prosecutors have robbed Diddy of his freedom, which may be yet another goal of United States vs Sean Combs.
Other issues? How about Cassie Venturas appearance at the criminal trial? I don't know about you, but I have a problem with it. Afterall, didn't she and Diddy enter a settlement agreement in 2023 ? And don't settlement agreements typically contain a clause that prohibits all parties from starting or continuing a civil or criminal proceeding related to the issues? And don't settlement agreements typically prohibit all parties from speaking about the terms of the settlement agreement or other pertinent issues? In other words, didn't Cassie Venturas appearance and testimony at the trial , violate the terms of her settlement agreement with Sean Combs, and, if so, should her appearance have been suppressed, or stricken from the record? Some say 'no,' because she was subpoenaed, and, consequently, had a legal obligation to appear, but I say Diddys attorneys should have tried to suppress her testimony or strike it on grounds that it violates the terms of the settlement agreement. I don't think they moved to suppress or strike her appearance though, but it would have been worth a try, since you play to win in these matters. And nothing beats a failure but a try.
In any event, theres so much more to say about United States vs Sean Combs, but at the end of the day, whats this case really about? Money grab? Smear campaign? Take down? Humiliation ritual? I say all of the above. One things for sure, they never had a RICO case, and they know it. As for the Mann Act, I don't think the jurors applied the law properly, but, at the same time, I think the Mann Act is overdue to be reviewed and amended for legal appropriateness, if not outright abolished.
Finally, and on a related note, it is clear that the Mann Act "criminalizes the transportation of minors, and the coercion of adults across state lines or to foreign countries, for the purpose of prostitution or commercial sex." But what happens if the transportation is intrastate? That is, while the Mann Act exclusively criminalizes transportation across state lines or to foreign countries, it does not specifically address or criminalize intrastate transportation. So, can one assume that intrastate transportation for the same purpose is NOT a crime, since it is not addressed by the Mann Act?
Just wondering ... and asking for a friend (lol) 😉

Wishing everyone a very pleasant, beautiful and productive day. I'll be keeping the homepage updated, but not much else for the time being -- certainly no audio, because, among other things, the device that I used to make the last few audios has konked out on me. Specifically, it does not currently recognize Windows. That is, its giving a "please activate Windows" error message, but won't let me activate Windows. What's nuts about it is that Windows was already activated, because I've had the device since 2017 , so its been active since then. To add insult to injury, I am unable to perform a system restore to an earlier date, because, it has not created any restore points, so there is no earlier date to go back to. On the bright side, I have had off and on issues with this device in the past, and find that turning it off and letting it sit for a spell ( ie. a week or more) is the cure for what ails it, soooo, I'll let it sit for a spell and see what happens. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking for an alternative way to make audio and/or fix what's broken, and will keep you posted.
Sooo, all that being said, once again, have a pleasant, beautiful, productive day. And remember to stay hydrated, because these temperatures are no joke. Of course, given the choice, I 'll take excessive heat over excessive cold any day. And that's just on periodt. Ttyl 💕

Having issues with a hot mail account that I have probably had since 2003 or so. Currently, I can't get into it. Error message says "too many requests," which isn't applicable since I don't open it that often. I last opened it a few weeks ago, but just mentioning this because I previously spoke about Yahoo, and alleged that the wiping of my Yahoo accounts was serious , intentional, and constitutes spoilation. So now its Hotmail. Just FYI. Of course, it goes without saying that I don't have time for more email drama. I'm just waaay too busy for that , but it is what it is. Maybe its been hacked. Who knows. Its the old accounts they are after tho, because the old accounts provide a historical record of my activities and etc., which have been plentiful. That said, I think they just want to confirm whose account it is, because, back in the day, an email account could be opened without any identifiable information, which is no longer the case. So, frankly, they don't really know whose account it is. In any case, looks like they have changed something regarding the log in page, but, again, I don't have time to fiddle with it at the moment, if at all. I'm just entirely too busy for it, and they know it.

Shout out to myself for being the first to advise the public that SB 1 and other controversial bills are not done deals (see post - election blog 3/20). And shout out to myself for being the first ( as far a I can see) to provide a link to the actual text of SB 1; a link to information regarding how SB 1 and other bills are signed into law; and a link to track the status of SB 1 as it moves thru the House and Senate.
That said, hiss and boo to media, most notably the Columbus Dispatch, for covering SB 1 as if it is a done deal.
Again, SB 1 is not a done deal, as yet. Its still under review. Its fate however, will ultimately be decided by Governor Richard Michael DeWine, the man who used the State Attorney Generals Office to seize control of Mt Zion Baptist Church, and in so doing, arguably , committed a crime, pursuant to ORC 2921.41 A (1) .... but maybe they'll draft another bill to cover that up.

Working on adding that commentary/audio about the sketch that went wrong on SNL50 ( see 2/17 post). I have it uploaded, but now I have to figure out how to add it to the site. This is a new recording option, so its tricky, but hopefully I will get it added soon, so check back.
P.S. I made the audio because I felt the sketch was delibertately sabotaged. If I had thought it was a mistake, I would not have said anything, but I don't think it was a mistake.
update: So its a wrap for today. I will try to get the audio posted tho... it just won't be today--
