Mid February 2023 News.

 

Nikki Haley announced publicly that she will run for President again in 2024. She has the qualifications. She is over 35, she was the former Governor of South Carolina (so she has executive experience), she has worked in many political jobs, etc. Now, the journey begins. The Presidential race of 2024 is here now. She is a Republican conservative, so she believes in fiscal responsibility, securing the border, and American exceptionalism. Obviously, I am an economic progressive. Haley was a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under Trump. Haley has a situation where she has both praised and criticized Donald Trump. Donald Trump obviously is an evil, corrupt person who almost ruined American democracy forever by his actions. Haley said that she wants a new generation of Republicans to move on from the Trump era, but Haley has a strong battle ahead of her. MAGA extremists will lie about her. DeSantis may run for President, and Trump is running for President now. I don't agree with Nikki Haley on many issues, but she has the right to run for President if she desires to.


Involving politics, we realize that we have a living wage problem. We have an issue where not enough people have hazard pay, childcare, sick leave, and health care benefits. We have the breaking news of a literal mushroom cloud of toxic chemicals denoted in Ohio. We have dangerous chemicals in Ohio. The train derailment caused an environmental crisis in Ohio. For years, far-right extremists have weakened safety rules in America. East Palestine, Ohio has residents suffering turmoil. Some people are sick there via smoke. The 50-car derailment has released a toxic cloud. Hundreds of people were forced to evacuate after the toxic train derailment. This environmental disaster can potentially cause health problems for decades. The EPA is investigating soil and water contamination after the Ohio train derailment released toxins. We have to modernize our infrastructure. Yet, most importantly, we have to promote the protection of human lives and the environment in general. We don't need Trump-era deregulation, but we need safety protocols to be strengthened.


The recent Super Bowl had a lot of historical significance in 2023. It took place during Black History Month. That is why the great singer and actress Sheryl Lee Ralph sang the Black National Anthem before the Super Bowl commenced. Also, the Super Bowl featured two black quarterbacks which is the first time that has occurred in history. Eagles assistant coach Autumn Lockwood is the first black woman to coach in a Super Bowl. Two of the Kelce brothers played against each other too. I don't understand why Mike Pence wants to fight the special counsel subpoena. Trump obviously worked with others in trying to defraud American democracy by trying to overthrow a legal 2020 election. Also, Trump's allies being terrorists at the insurrection wanted to hand Mike Pence. A subpoena is no admission of guilt. A subpoena is a legal requirement of a witness or any person of interest to answer important questions as it relates to a serious criminal case. The federal government is making its case.



Days ago was the Birthday of Brother Randy Moss, and he is now 46 years old. When I was growing up back in the 1990's, we knew that he was one of the greatest wide receivers in football history. While Jerry Rice was the greatest NFL wide receiver in history, Randy Moss was the most talented wide receiver in NFL history. He was born in the working-class location of Rand, West Virginia. He attended DuPont High School. He excelled in football, basketball, and track. He was on the school's debate team too. Later, Randy Moss led the DuPont Panthers to back-to-back state championships in 1992 and in 1993. Moss won the Harrison H. Kennedy Award. Randy Moss played at Marshall University when he was in college. He had 200+ yard receiving games. By 1998, he came into the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings. Immediately, the Vikings was a Super Bowl-contending team. He also played for the Oakland Raiders, the New England Patriots, and the Tennessee Titans. After football, Randy Moss has done charities, coached kids in football, and analyzed sports for a living. By 2019, Moss was named to the National Football League 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. He is in the Naismith Football Hall of Fame too. Randy Moss is a Christian, he loves his five children, and he loves his wife, who is Lydia Moss. Lydia Moss is another heroic woman. I wish Brother Randy Moss more blessings. 


Trugoy the Five from De La Soul passed away at the age of 54 years old. De La Soul is a legendary group from Long Island with songs that detail the lives of hip hop experts. From talking about social issues to abstract thoughts, De La Soul never disappointed its fans. His whole name was David Jude Jolicoeur. He was a Brooklyn, NYC native. The other members of the group are Pos and Pase. They formed De La Soul when they attended high school together in Amityville, New York state. Their most recent album was the 2016 album of "And the Anonymous Nobody." De La Soul was scheduled to perform in the United Kingdom starting on April 8, 2023. David Jolicoeur was a man who wanted the love of hip-hop and musical expression to inspire minds in the whole world. 

Rest in Power Brother David Jude Jolicoeur.
