President Obama has pardon more Thanksgiving Turkeys than Political Prisons, who were victims of the US Government's Counter Intelligence Programs (CoIntelPro), started under FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. Even Russian President Putin had the courage to correct one of his mistakes this week by releasing a political prisoner. Black African Americans were overwhelmingly the targets and victims of the US Government attacks under that program and President Obama should
Christmas is a great time to introduce energy saving habits into a household as many easy and simple changes in the way we live can end up putting extra money into your pocket. Higher electricity prices in South Africa have become an increasing strain on consumers’ monthly expenses.
“As consumers we have a lot of decision making power when it comes to how we use and save energy,” says Russell Hughes, who is the event director of the annual African Utility Week and Clean Power Africa conference

These are the people who lack honor, respect for themselves, and decency. Descendants of Slaves can stay among Rulers who think nothing of us and our children, or we can return to the GOD that can bring us out of this captivity and live in HIS Righteous Ways for our Redemption.
Can the mentality of such people really bring joy to the Most High CREATOR GOD? Or would the R
Last week, Joyce Jones, a columnist for BET.com wrote an article titled, “The Loneliness of the Black Republican: What attracts young African-Americans to the GOP?” Although the article was off-base on so many points – No I won’t waste my time listing them here – it got me reflecting on this younger generation of Black Republicans.

Talking Points:
Robert Seth Hayes is currently 65 years old. We are requesting an appropriate medical work-up in an outside facility for abnormal weight loss, because Mr. Hayes has lost 40 pounds in the last 3 months and currently weighs only 140 pounds max. 40 lbs of weight loss in a few months is very concerning for cancer and cancer needs to be ruled out. This is most urgently needed for Seth's health right now. This weight loss is acute and clearly urgent.

Dear Crystal Lucas Perry,
First, as 1 artist to another, I appreciate you &all the hard work that went into creating this. HOWEVER, what I strongly disagree with, is making the POTUS into a celebrity.Creating this mythos around a man whose job is to lead the country FORWARD. He's not a HOLLYWOOD STAR/ACTOR. I think it's disrespectful.Will he go down in history as a SUPERSTAR or someone who really moved the country forward? Allegiance to a man? American Idol? Exalt & Elevate integrity, peace, love
Why do Black African Americans lack the Moral Courage to collectively solve our problems without Greed or Fear? Why do we accept excuses or make excuses for poor leadership from Black Appointed and Elected Leaders? Despite having professional skills, knowledge and experience in almost every area of American Society, Black African Americans, collectively have Little Hope, No Change and our progress is Going Backwards. Our Collective Suffering and Poverty seems to be invisible to our leadership,

Yesterday, a letter was leaked to the media in Nigeria from former President Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo to current President Goodluck Jonathan, regarding Obasanjo’s latest indignation at Jonathan’s style of governance, albeit a self-serving vitriolic hocus-pocus of indignation. But some Nigerians are taking Obasanjo’s letter seriously. But for most Nigerians, nothing Obasanjo says or writes are ever going to change their minds about this tyrannical, corrupt, duplicitous, arrogant, vindictive chame
