Remembering Selma's Bloody Sunday.
This week saw the tragedy of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. To learn about the Selma voting rights movement of 1964-1965 is to learn the quintessential components of the American Civil Rights Movement. For example, in Selma's history, you learn about major institutions involved in voting rights, divisions in those organizations, the power of the legal system, Presidential support, reactionary opposition, courageous protesters, a noble, just cause, and a victory. The groups that supported the Selma Voting Rights movement are the SCLC, DCVL, and SNCC. The DCVL and the SCLC were in use of basic leadership, some were older, and they were just as dedicated as more independent civil rights leaders. SNCC was more decentralized, more youth-driven, and had members like John Lewis, Kwame Ture, James Forman, Parthia Hall, Bernard Lafeyette, etc. After Reconstruction, a white racist capitalist aristocracy enacted suppressive voting laws and other Jim Crow apartheid policies that harmed the rights of black Americans. There were lynchings, rapes, and murders enacted by the Klan. Much of the Klan infiltrated local governments, the police, and even state legislatures. Therefore, African Americans had to use civil disobedience, protests, and in many cases, outright self-defense (like the Deacons of Defense and Robert F. Williams did in the 1960s) to counteract tyranny. Let's be very clear to mention that Jim Crow was tyranny and fascism period. This movement was headed by black people, and many allies of every color joined this movement too. Many white people, Asian people, Latino people, and Native Americans were in support of our rights as black people.
Amelia Boynton and others led a first march on March 7, 1965. They were met with state troopers and county possemen. This was Bloody Sunday when police and vigilantes attacked 600 unarmed protesters with batons and tear gas. They beat women and even children. Lewis was hit on the head, and Amelia Boynton was unconscious from the beatings by police barbarians. Outrage was worldwide. The events of Bloody Sunday were so unjust that President Lyndon Baines Johnson went on national television to desire a federal voting rights bill. It was a tough time. Yet people stood up and the courts allowed protesters to march from Selma to Montgomery. Rev. James Reeb and Viola Liuzzo lost their lives in fighting the same voting rights that we are still fighting today. 61 years later, we have many states (not just in the South but in the Midwest too) that have voter suppression laws (including banning people form giving voters water in line), GOP plans for ICE to monitor voting sites, and Trump wanting mail in voting banned. It's irony that we have more voting rights in 1965 than in 2026, because the federal 1965 Voting Rights Act has been heavily gutted by the United States Supreme Court. We are reminded that freedom must be fought for from generation to the next generation. We can't take our civil liberties and our human rights for granted. Protecting and strengthening our voting rights and our human rights in general is a prescription for our liberation.
Some breaking news is that Trump has fired Kristi Noem, who was the head of the Department of Homeland Security. She has been in a discussion in Congress on Tuesday about immigration issues. Noem oversaw the corrupt policies from the Trump administration. It has been a tumultuous year of 2025, including 2026. We have ICE and the DHS showing some of the regressive policies involving the treatment of immigrants in decades. Trump said that he would get Senator Markwayne Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma. Mullins is a faithful MAGA follower. Mullin has to deal with a confirmation process by the Senate. Noem lived through how Americans were illegally detained, in some cases after showing IDs. The federal government has been caught killing two Americans. Kristi Noem has a new job in the Trump administration. She will be an Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Trump is not withdrawing his massive deportation policies; he refuses to end ICE, and he supports massive militarized police occupation of our American cities and towns. The courts stopped Kristi Noem from shipping many people overseas. Patel, Bondi, and other Trump administration cabinet members want to promote Trump's lawless agenda.
I found out that Dwayne Demetri Artis (b. 1960) is my 5th cousin. He married Sandra Jackson (b. 1965) on April 4, 1986, in Newport News, Virginia. His parents are Otis Lee Artis (1927-1999) and Lizzie Olethia Warren. The parents of Otis Lee Artis were Willie Artis (1902-1978) and Claudie Artis (b. 1904). Otis Lee Artis and Claudie Artis' children are Dwayne Demetri Artis, Elder Darryl Artis, and Keith Artis. At the time of his passing, Otis Lee Artis had six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, one step-grandchild, and three daughters-in-law: Trina Artis, Cheryle Artis, and Sandra Artis. The parents of my 3rd cousin Willie Artis were Ivy Artis (b. 1883) and Ida Williams Artis (1883-1963). The parents of my 2nd cousin Ida Williams Artis were Mary L. Williams (1855-1905) and Eddie Drew Kello (1851-1922). The parents of my 1st cousin Mary L. Williams were John Burwell Williams (b. 1815) and Mary Williams (b. 1832). The parents of my 5th great granduncle John Burwell Williams were my 6th greatgrandparents Winifred Woodson-Bozeman (b. 1791) and Burrell Williams.
There has been an increase of Democratic voters deciding the primaries in Texas and California. Jasmine Crockett of Texas did the best that she could in her state of Texas. She lost to James Talarico, a more moderate candidate. Crockett did her best, spoke her mind, refuted the liars about her record, and believes in her causes. There were voting issues in Dallas and Williamson when the Texas Attorney General wanted to separate votes based on the time when votes had been received. There will be a runoff between Corryn and Paxton. Gutierrez of Texas won his Democratic primary. Buckhout won the Republican North Carolina primary. Ager won the Democratic primary of North Carolina. There are other results that shows intraparty debates. On the Republican side, there is the debate on how much each candidate supports the MAGA movement. On the Democratic side, there are debates on which messages work best, on moderate vs. progressive factions, and strategy in growing new voters in a coalition to win elections.

The Middle East in Total Crisis.
The actions of two deranged males (not men) caused this tragedy in the Middle East. The Middle East is in flames due to preemptive strikes, and the male in the White House hasn't shown a comprehensive exit strategy or plan to end this conflict at all. Trump and Rubio claim they had a Congressional consultation, but they consulted only a limited number of Congressional leaders, not both chambers of Congress. Right now, the Middle East is in flames with America and Israel attacking Iran. Iran has responded with attacks in the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Israel, and other places. Israel and Hezbollah (an Iranian proxy) have been fighting each other in Lebanon, too. Recently, Iran attacked a U.S. embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Dubai has been attacked by Iranian missiles, too, and Dubai is a well-known tourist location. This is certainly the most violent Middle East crisis since the early 2000s. Trump has not ruled out using American troops on the ground in Iran. When the Iraq War commenced in 2003, I was a sophomore in college. With this new 2026 Iranian War, I am in my early 40s. That tells me that the Middle Eastern culture never forgets past transgressions and new conflicts. There is no legitimate rationale for this recent aggressive action against Iran, as Iran has no direct threat to America. Trump lied and claimed to have no forever wars, but he organized another war. The contradictory statements from the Trump administration about the purpose of his actions are purely hypocritical and bizarre. The State Department is urging all Americans to leave the Middle East now, but getting out for Americans is very difficult. I will tell you one thing. If Kamala Harris were President now, none of this would have happened.
The midterm election primaries have existed. What is clear is to maintain our principles. One major principle is to promote the dignity of human life. All life born on this Earth have dignity and worth. That means that people should have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Another major issue is affordability. Back in the day, mortgages were just $1,000 to $2,000 per month. That is a drop in the bucket compared to mortgages in our time in 2026. We are dealing with economic issues as prices are increasing and we have an increase of oil prices as a product of this Iranian war. We have a government credibility issue of the Trump administration basically being forced to release many Epstein files when Trump was a friend of Epstein until years ago. The harm done to America by bad policies doesn't discriminate. It harms both red and blue states. Most Americans oppose this new war in Iran as we should. We don't American soldiers to die in a war based on multiple lies. We desire American soldiers to be safe and with their families. Therefore, we are clear to both disagree with MAGA and adhere to justice and righteousness.
Another lie shown by the establishment and agents, especially, is that we must embrace the status quo and be moderates or centrists for us to be free. This faulty argument has been promoted by many folks like Fetterman, Stephen A. Smith, the Third Way movement, and other acolytes. The truth is that being bold, revolutionary, and progressive makes more sense for us to see human liberation and the Promised Land for real. When Jim Crow apartheid was at its zenith, revolutionary people from Paul Robeson to Septima Clark advocated strident progressive action to achieve black freedom. Later leaders of the 1968 Memphis Sanitation workers used protests, demands, and other actions to seek pure economic justice. Even FDR (who did good and had imperfections) was never a centrist. Today, human beings use civil disobedience, protests, grassroots organizing, mentorships, and some people running or political office exist in desiring real freedom too. Centrism doesn't work, because it places numerous people like the poor out of the equation. Also, compromise to our oppressors is never equivalent to justice for all. Centrism is just plain tokenism. Our leaders were visionaries, not compromising moderates. Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Fannie Lou Hamer, Nina Simone, Lorraine Hansberry, Malcolm X, Dr. King, and Medgar Evers were grown men and grown women who stood up for our people without centrism.
There are still those in the 21st century in 2026 who believe that no conspiracies have ever existed in human history. The fundamental truth is that conspiracies have existed throughout human history as a conspiracy just means more than one person planning an event, usually of nefarious intent at times, and carry it out. So, conspiracies are abundant like Operation Ajax, The Tuskegee Experiment, the Maafa, the Shoah, Operation Phoenix, and the wicked, evil assassinations of Malcolm X, President Abraham Lincoln, etc. Therefore, anyone denying the existence of actual conspiracies in the world is heavily mistaken and just purely incorrect. Some agents and liars want to blame all religions for all the evils in the world. That is a lie, as history is very complex in its cosmology or composition. Humans of diverse creeds, or no creed, have done both good and evil for millennia. We know about the dedicated atheists, Stalin and Mao, who murdered millions of people during the 20th century. We know that many people hide behind religion or exploit religion to commit atrocities, like many Crusades, using pogroms against Jewish communities throughout Europe, the Klan terrorizing black people (including Jewish people, Italians, etc.), and slaveowners who oppressed black people globally via imperialism plus colonialism. Therefore, you can never judge a whole religion based on the evil done by some folks who claim to be its "adherents." You judge a religion based on its original founder or founders and its original teachings plainly speaking. For example, we don't blame all Christians for the Maafa, and we don't blame all atheists for the Communist extermination of millions of innocent human beings during the 1900s. We are logical to mention how numerous religious leaders have historically been at the forefront of legitimate social movements like Harriet Tubman, Septima Clark, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther king Jr., Dr. Benjamin Mays, etc. I believe in God without shame. Likewise, I won't use my religious beliefs as an excuse to oppress human beings period. I follow the Golden Rule which is a preeminent ideal that we must all adhere to.
Congress wants new Epstein interviews for seven people. The people are a financier, Bill Gates, and a Democratic lawyer. Trump once called the Epstein investigation a hoax and later wanted only Democrats to be investigated when justice is not party-based. Donald Trump should be interviewed about the Epstein files, too. There is video footage of Hillary Clinton denying pizzagate and other false rumors. The DOJ has been removing files according to news reports and Congressional leaders. So, all of the Epstein files technically haven't been released yet. Many people have used lawsuits in trying to get all of the files released to the public.

The New War in Iran (in 2026) and other Information.
We live in a new era in our history. People who were alive back in the early 2000s saw the Iraq War in 2003. Now, we have seen a new war in Iran starting on February 28, 2026, when America and Israel executed a pre-emptive strike against Iran. Then, Iran has shown retaliatory strikes in the United Arab Emirates, in Israel, in Kuwait, Bahrain, and in Dubai (Dubai has no U.S. military bases), among other places. Donald Trump had no intention to establish a peaceful, negotiated deal with Iran involving foreign policy matters. Trump admitted in public that he wants regime change in Iran. This is the philosophy of neo-conservatives, which once again exposes his lie of trying to end "forever wars." There are reports that the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. His body is found in the ruins from the strikes. These strikes are blatantly against international law as Trump never asked Congress collectively to vote for these strikes. Iran has no immediate threat to American soil for these types of strikes. This is the Iraq War on steroids as Iran has a stronger army, navy, and air force than Iraq. Trump has established no plan for its endgame or the aftermath of such strikes, which places American lives in danger. Trump hypocritically claims to support freedom in Iran, but he funds dictatorships in Saudi Arabia. Iran has 91 million people with diverse ethnic groups, and the vast majority of Americans oppose this war against Iran. Also, we don't support the anti-civil liberty policies in the Iranian regime, but there are alternatives to promote freedom without this aggressive action. Trump has rejected climate change agreements, cut investments in diversity programs, tried to ban mail in voting, and desires an authoritarian society that should be opposed.
This war in Iran has been very rapid. Now, we have new information coming out all the time. Trump continues to defend his invasion by saying that Iran is a regime with nuclear weapons that would be a dire threat to every American. We know that to be a liar as Iran doesn't have any nuclear weapons at all that would threaten all Americans. United States and Israeli forces are targeting Iran with an intensive bombing campaign. Trump and his allies have shifted the reasons for these illegal attacks from regime change, nuclear weapons, terrorism, and other reasons. Also, let's be clear to not to glorify the Iranian regime, which is a brutal regime that blacked out its Internet, murdered peaceful protesters, and jailed dissidents. Yet, the U.S./Israeli invasion of Iran was an act of aggression against a sovereign nation. As a result of this war, American soldiers, Iranian people (like at least 24 students in a girls' school in Minab in southern Iran), and Israeli people (including 9 Israeli being killed in a synagogue at Beit Shemesh, Israel) have died needlessly.
Iran has fired missiles across the Middle East from the U.A.E. to Jerusalem. U.S. and Israeli forces have killed many leaders of the Iranian government including the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran. The Iron Dome in Israel has stopped many missiles. Iran will throw everything that they got, including large ballistic missiles (which Iran has thousands of them). Oil prices may increase. This is the most serious U.S.-caused war in the Middle East since the Iraq War started in 2003. So far, the Trump administration has not outlined a concrete political strategy after this war in Iran is over. The Trump administration has an asymmetrical war that could last for weeks or months. The FBI is preparing for possible attacks in America from Iranian terror cells. Fundamentally, Trump ordering the attack on Iran is against international law and the U.S. Constitution without a comprehensive vote from all of Congress. The hypocrisy of Trump is that he claims that he wants democracy in Iran, but domestically he has deployed ICE agents to terrorize American cities, desires to ban mail-in voting, wants universities to submit to his administration (in violation of the First Amendment), and seeks to get rid of media figures who dissent with his policies. So, Trump desires authoritarianism with a unitary executive, not true democracy.
The 2026 Winter Olympics closing ceremony took place on February 22, 2026. It started at 20:30 CET (19:30 UTC) and concluded at 23:00. It was held at the Verona Arena in Verona, Italy. As mandated by the Olympic Charter, the proceedings combine the protocol-related and cultural segments. It is the first Olympic Games closing ceremony under the IOC presidency of Kirsty Coventry. The city of Verona was chosen to host the ceremony, even though no events were scheduled to take place there. The intention was for the ceremony to be held in a setting reminiscent of the ancient Olympic Games. The ancient Roman amphitheater regularly hosts a famous open-air opera festival as well as other cultural events. There will be the future opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Paralympics on March 6, 2026. The Teatro Filarmonico, an opera theatre in Verona, served as a secondary venue. The closing ceremony was filmed by Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) and broadcast by the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Global Media rights holders. The creative team for the ceremony was led by Francesco Paolo Conticello, president and CEO of G2 Eventi – Casta Diva Group. The team includes Angelo Bonello (artistic and show director) and Francesca Formisano (music composer). While other sources stated that the creative team was guided by Alfredo Accatino [it], with the team consisting of Adriano Martella (creative director), Stefania Opipari (show director), Stefano Ciammitti (costume designer), Vittorio Cosma (music director), Michele Braga [it] (music director) and Claudio Santucci (set designer). The Olympians staying in the Milan Olympic Village travelled by train from Milan to Verona.
The starting ceremony started with a film tribute to the Italian opera: a lumière illuminated multiple chandeliers on a constructed stage in the middle of the arena, with a camera following him behind the stage into underground tunnels beneath the arena. The segment was named "a night at the opera", and featured tributes to various Italian operas, including La traviata, Madama Butterfly, The Marriage of Figaro, Aida, and Rigoletto. This segment featured cameos from famous Italians, including Achille Lauro and Deborah Compagnoni. A brief tribute to Juliet on her balcony was also seen. Afterwards, a large chandelier appeared above the stage while music from La traviata was playing. Meanwhile, athletes paraded through Piazza Bra in Verona while making their way into the arena.
After the seating of the dignitaries, Paolo Fresu and the choir of the Fondazione Arena di Verona performed "Il Canto degli Italiani" during the raising of the flag of Italy; the flag itself was carried by people from the host sites of the games and the Carabinieri. Italian athletes who won medals at the Games stood on stage during the flag raising. The choir sang from the Teatro Filarmonico, which served as a secondary venue for the ceremony. At the secondary venue, an audience including Benedetta Porcaroli was shown. Another tribute to Italian operas followed, with performers wearing extravagant costumes made using recycled materials. A short video segment titled "Faces of Italy" saw portraits of various Italians, captured by photographer Marco Delogu. Afterwards, Italian athletes Silvio Fauner, Maurilio De Zolt, Marco Albarello, and Giorgio Vanzetta (members of the winning Cross-country skiing at the 1994 Winter Olympics – Men's 4 × 10 kilometer relay team) appeared with the Olympic flame in an ampoule; this led to the illumination of the Olympic rings inside the arena. After the flags of the nations competing at the Games arrived in the arena, so did the athletes. During the athletes' parade, Margherita Vicario, Davide Shorty, and Calibro 35 performed on stage. This was followed by an acrobatic performance representing athletes and a victory ceremony for the medalists from Cross-country skiing – Men's 50 kilometer classical and Cross-country skiing – Women's 50 kilometer classical.
Gabry Ponte and Eiffel 65 performed Blue (Da Ba Dee) during a tribute to the Games' volunteers, which was followed by a remembrance segment performed by Jun Ichikawa. With various references to water and sunlight, La Scala Theatre Ballet's Roberto Bolle performed an aerial tribute to Earth. Italian singer Joan Thiele also performed during the segment. Afterwards, the choir and orchestra of the Fondazione Arena di Verona performed the Olympic Hymn during the lowering of the Olympic flag. Shortly before, "Hymn to Liberty" (the national anthem of Greece) was performed during its flag raising. The mayors of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo handed over the flag to the presidents of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the host regions of the 2030 Winter Olympics. This was followed by the raising of the flag of France and a performance of "La Marseillaise" by Marine Chagnon. During the performance, French athletes at the Games appeared; this was followed by a video from the French Alps, with references to light and "a new dawn." Milano Cortina 2026 organizing president Giovanni Malagò and International Olympic Committee president Kirsty Coventry delivered official remarks, with Coventry declaring the closing of the Games, praising them as "magical games", and inviting the youth of the world and the audience to assemble in the French Alps in 4 years. The flame was extinguished at the arena, Milan, and Cortina d'Ampezzo, while pianist Gloria Campaner performed Experience by Ludovico Einaudi. This was followed by the musical performances of Diplo, Major Lazer, Meduza, MØ, Nyla, DJ Snake, Achille Lauro, and Alfa. A light show also occurred in place of fireworks. To end the ceremony, the characters from the opera segment rested under the arena.

I never really talked about body types and health on this forum before. Now, it is the perfect time to do it. All human beings have diverse human body types, and that is perfectly fine. Each body type deals with certain needs for health improvement. For example, your body is like a blueprint, and each person is different. That means that certain health and exercise methods that may work for some people may not produce results for another person. That is why fitness experts readily find out a person's body type to develop the best food diet and exercise procedure in making sure that people are at their best physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually (as a strong body will develop a strong mind completely). People of all shapes and sizes can be healthy or have risk factors for heart disease, various cancers, etc. That is why all people (regardless of age) should have regular checkups to test our blood pressure, cholesterol, body fat percentage, risk for diseases and cancers, and other measures of human health. There are more than a dozen human body types. Here are some of them major ones. At the first level, there are three major ones called ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. An ectomorph body type has a narrower frame, thinner bones, and smaller joints, and may be flatter in the chest and gluteus maximus. Think of the typical build of a distance runner, fashion model, or ballerina. Though you may look skinny and find it hard to put on weight, you can have more body fat than you think, especially as you age. That’s because your body often processes food quickly, which makes it harder to build muscle. The endomorph or this specific somatotype usually has more body fat and muscle, smaller shoulders, shorter limbs, and larger bone structure. Think of football linemen, shot put throwers, or curvier women. You may gain weight easily, especially in your lower belly and hips, and find it harder to lose. This may be in part because your body is more likely to store “high carb” foods as fat instead of burning them. There is the mesomorph body somatotype that has an athletic, strong build with wide shoulders, a narrow waist, and low body fat. Think of the typical build of sprinters or soccer players. Because you’re naturally strong and lose and gain weight easily, your body type is well-suited to muscle-building activities like bodybuilding. There is the pear shape that combines a slimmer “ectomorph” upper body with an “endomorph” lower body. People with this shape have extra fat in the hip and thigh area. It’s more common among women, and it may be part of the reason they often live longer than men. That could be because belly fat, more common in men, is linked to more health problems than lower-body fat. One study found that in some cases fat in the hips and thighs was linked to lower odds for some diseases. There is the apple shape too. This means that a person has more fat stored around your stomach, while your lower body stays thin. It’s more common in men, and it's worse for your health than the pear shape. That’s because belly fat is often a sign that you have more fat deeper inside, around your internal organs, as opposed to just beneath the skin. That kind is more closely linked to heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. Doctors don't relay on body shape alone to determine human history. People use multiple data points like body fat percentage, body pressure, waist size, family genetic history, waist to hip ratio, VO2 levels, etc. Scientists studied about 3,000 adults for more than 12 years and found those whose thighs measured less than 24 1/2 inches were more likely to have heart disease and other health problems. And the problem got worse as thighs got thinner. However, the study didn’t track whether the people’s thighs were larger because of fat, muscle, or both, so it’s hard to tell why they were better off. There are other complex body shapes like diamond, round, inverted triangle, hourglass, rectangle, etc. One secret to improve health is cardio, eat healthy, reduce stress, grow intellectually, and strength building exercises, especially as we age. In one study, when doctors kept track of 4,000 men between ages 60 and 79 to figure out their body composition, they found that along with slimmer waists, bigger arms seemed to predict longer life and better health. Those who had larger mid-arm muscle measurements lived longer. It may simply be that muscular arms reflect a healthier lifestyle, but the muscle itself may also help. Therefore, your body shape is not your health destiny. People can exercise, eat great foods (like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, skinless chicken, fish, eggs, beans, and low fat dairy) and build muscle along with cardio to improve human life.
Professional wrestling, as we know it, existed from the early 1800s in Western Europe, Britain, and Ireland. There were showmen who combined wrestling and showmanship. There were wrestlers with names like Heruclean Flower, Edward, the bone wrecker, etc. By 1830, , French showman, Jean Exbroyat formed the first modern wrestlers' circus troupe and established a rule not to execute holds below the waist — a style he named "flat hand wrestling." This new style soon spread to the rest of Europe, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy, Denmark and Russia under the names of Greco-Roman wrestling, Classic wrestling or French wrestling. By the end of the 19th century, this modern "Greco-Roman" wrestling style went on to become the most fashionable sport in Europe, and in 1898 the Frenchman Paul Pons, "the Colossus" became the first Professional World Champion.
The modern style of professional wrestling, popularized by the United States and United Kingdom during the late 19th century, is called the catch-as-catch can style. Originally thought of as unorthodox and more lax in style, catch wrestling differs from Greco-Roman in its allowed grapples; Greco-Roman strictly prohibits grabbing below the waist, while catch wrestling allows holds above and below the waist, including leg grips. Both catch wrestling and Greco-Roman were popular, and fully competitive, amateur and professional sports. But, from the late 19th century onwards, a sub-section of catch wrestling changed slowly into the choreographed sport entertainment now known as "professional wrestling", recognized as much for its theatrical antics and entertainment as wrestling ability. By the early 20th century, many professional wrestlers promoted a variety act to the public. Some were involved in bodybuilder strongman events. There were various American and European professional title holders like the American Heavyweight Champion Tom Jenkins and the Greco-Roman title Georg Hackenschmidt. The World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship was the first recognized professional wrestling world heavyweight championship created in 1905 to identify the best catch wrestler in the world. It was also the first wrestling championship known to have a physical representation of the belt. Russian-born George Hackenschmidt won the inaugural championship defeating American-born Tom Jenkins in New York City. America's profressional wrestling popularity declined from 1915 to 1920 because of World War I and people's questioning the legitimacy and status as a competitive sport. Therefore, professional wrestlers used tag team wrestling, new wrestlers existed (like Ed Lewis, Billy Sandow, and Toots Mondt), and wreslters formed angles and feuds. By this time, professional wrestling spread into Australia, Japan, Mexico, and all over the world. Established names such as Lou Thesz, Dr. Jerry Graham and Gorgeous George toured Australia by the 1950s. Many of the greatest professional wrestlers were involved in Japanese wrestling leagues like Dory Funk, Jr., Terry Funk, and Harley Race, all of whom wrestled for Baba in Japan. Some Japanese wrestling league used actual combat acts in their performances. Rikidōzan was a huge star in Japan in the 1950s, and he is commonly credited with bringing professional wrestling to Japan.
In the early 20th century, professional wrestling was mostly a regional phenomenon in Mexico until Salvador Lutteroth founded the Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre ("Mexican Wrestling Enterprise") in 1933, giving the sport a national foothold for the first time. In 1948, wrestling reached new heights after a loose confederation was formed between independent wrestling companies. This was known as the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). In the late 1940s to 1950s, the NWA chose Lou Thesz to unify the various world championships into a single "World Heavyweight" title. Thesz's task was not easy, as some promoters, reluctant to lose face, went so far as to shoot title matches to keep their own champions popular with the fans.
Following the advent of television, professional wrestling matches began to be aired nationally during the 1950s, reaching a larger fanbase than ever before. This was a time of enormous growth for professional wrestling, as rising demand and national expansion made it a much more popular and lucrative form of entertainment than in the prior decades. This was called a "Golden Age" for the wrestling industry. It was also a time of great change in both the character and professionalism of wrestlers as a result of the appeal of television. Wrestling fit naturally with television because it was easy to understand, had drama, comedy and colorful characters, and was inexpensive to produce. From 1948 to 1955, each of the three major television networks broadcast wrestling shows; the largest supporter being the DuMont Television Network.
The music of the 1980s include some of the most diverse forms of music in human history. This decade saw music among every genre in a form of excellence and creativity. There was a technological revolution back then using synthesizers, programmed drum machines (like the LinnDrum), and the iconic gated reverb effect on drums to create a massive, spatial sound. This decade saw lush chorus, and electric basslines. Many people using drum machines, the Yamaha DX7 and the Roland Juno-60. This time saw harmonic and melodic structure and arrangements using instruments. Massive diversity existed in rock. There wasn't just metal rock or hair bands. There were alternative groups like U2 and REM. There was synth pop, new wave, and house music being invented in Chicago by the 1980s too. By the 1980s, hip hop reached into a new era called the Golden Age that lasted from 1986 to 1994 that included icons like Rakim, KRS-One, Shante, Salt-n-Pepa, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, etc. The themes and lyrics of the 1980s were about driving, cars, romance, sex, religious imagery, politics, and other topics being explores. Politics were promoted by 1980s musicians in Live Aid in London and America. Also, by the late 1980s, a wave of Afrocentric cultural growth developed in black communities of America plus the world as shown by hip hop artists like Paris, Public Enemy, Rakim, etc. Electronic dance music and indie pop were invented. There was the use of digital recording. Superstar musicans grew into the next level from Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, and other people. The 1980s sw Michael Jackson as the leader of pop with songs like Beat It, Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror, etc. His album of Thriller was the best selling R&B album of all time. Madonna increasingly became more controversial by the end of the decade with songs like Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer, etc. Whitney Houston was the leader of R&B with being the first woman artist to debut at Number One in the Billboard 200. She had classic songs like Saving All My Love for Your, How Will I Know, etc. We see a younger generation of artists like Paula Abdul, Expose, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, New Edition, Laura Branigan, Michael Bolton, Brenda K. Starr, Boy George, Glenn Medeiros, etc. Many icons flourished in the 1980s like Tina Turner, Lionel Richie, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, and Dian Ross. Cynthi Lauper was the voice of the MTV Generation of the 1980s with her songs both being pop and serious like True colors, Change of Heart, etc. Richard Marx came to fame in the 1980s too. Rock split into multiple genres. There were hard rock with bands like Queen, Chicago, Europe, Ratt, Twisted, Poison, AC/DC, etc. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Motorhead grown. The 1980s saw Tipper Gore and others use stickers on album cover to try to prevent young people from buying albums. This was protested by many musicians as violations of the First Amendment, and such debates continue to this day. Alternative rock spread from the streets, college campus, and underground settings to the mainstream by the 1980s. Groups like R.E.M., the Hits, The Feelies, and others used punk influences with folk music. R.E.M. had Murmur which was an album in 1983. Other alternative bands were The Bangles, Orange Juice, The Clean, etc. By the late 1980s, early gunge were popular like Nirvana. Women like Tacy Chapman, Nanci Griffith, k.d. lang, and Tori Amos advanced their careers. There were country music too with people like Randy Travis, Keith Whitley, Reba McEntire, The Judds, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Kathy Mattea, Clint Black, Garth Brooks, Lorrie Morgan, and Travis Tritt. Contemporary R&B formed in the 1980s with elements of hip hop, soul, and funk merging with artists like Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Rick James, KC and the Sunshine Band, The gap Band, Cheryl Lynn, Club Nouveau, Midnight star, George Benson, The Jets, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Jeffrey Osborne, and other musicians. Gospel and Christian music in general was powerful in the 1980s too with artists like BeBe and CeCe Winans, Yolanda Adams, The Hawkins Family, The Clark Sisters, Andrae Crouch, Shirley Caesar, Commissioned, DC Talk, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, That is why this is a legitimate case that the 1980s had the most diverse amount of music in human history.
The music of the 1990s had ultimately diverse groups. It was a time of the Golden Age of groups, individuality being promoted, post-Cold War prosperity, and sense of the rise of electronic/rave music. It was driven by high budget music videos, massive album sales, and massive music festivals growing. It saw a mixture of grunge (like in Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc.), the golden age of hip hop music (filled with the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Wu-Tang, Outkast, NWA, DMX, Jay Z, Salt-n-Pepa, the Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Ja Rule, etc.), and pop sensations (like Britney Spears, Spice Girls, the Backstreet Boys, NYSNC, 98 Degrees, etc.). The Seattle based grunge groups from Soundgarden and Alice in Chains had an angst because of Generation X earning less than Baby Boomers, a recession during the early 1990s, and some people having uncertainty about the future. There was a hip hop sound that became a billion dollars industry with G-funk, boom-bap, and other conscious hip hop shown by Snoop, Nas, Dr. Dre, Arrested Development, etc. Christina Aguilera and other pop icons grown by the mid to late 1990s. There was a pop punk, ska, and a rap/rock hybrid music from Green Day, Blink 192, Korn, No Doubt, etc. MTV and BET shown music videos constantly. This time saw the CD boom. Fashion had flannel, ripped jeans, jersey, baggy clothes, etc. By the end of the 1990s, music became more influenced by more electronic sounds as music becomes more digitalized. There was reggae, rock, and gospel including country music being highly influential. In the 1990s, rock's The Red Hot Chili Peppers had mainstream success and their album 1999 Californication represented that. Alterantive rock bands like Creed, The Verve, Spin Doctors, Goo Good Dolls, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. not only showing rock themes. Many genres from rock to hip hop shown political messages, love themes, and philosphical lyrics. The 1990s had lyrics that focused on life and how complicated life can be. Pop rock filled with Alanis Morisette, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, and others shown their talent. In the 1990s, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey dominated the 1990s R&B charts. Hard rock was shown throughout the decade by Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and Metallica. Contemorary R&B artists had a dream team level of talent like 112, Faith Evans, D'Angelo, Destiny's Child, Total, SWV, En Vogue, Hi-Fi, Jade, Backstreet, Xscape, TLC, etc.

Late February 2026 News.
The Winter Olympics have dealt with adventure, the power of Nature, athleticism, records being broken, and a profound love of sports competition. The teams with the most medals are from Norway and America. It is also important to mention that nations globally (including nations from diverse places of the world) have outlined outstanding performances in their own right. We have witnessed exciting results, as both the Men's and Women's American Ice Hockey teams won gold in a historic fashion. Like many games, politics is involved. This is not new, as we know about the story of 2 black men (who are gold medalist Tommie Smith and bronze medalist John Carlos. Both people were members of the Olympic Project for Human Rights) showing the fist up in the air during the 1968 Mexico City Olympics to stand up for black freedom and human rights, too. We know of Jesse Owens winning four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Germany (when that evil, wicked, racist, and anti-Semitic fascist Hitler was in power in Germany). Jesse Owens' performances refuted the lie of white supremacy. Many athletes in 2026 opposed the excessive occupation of Minneapolis and other places in America, because human rights is a precise principle that must be honored by all. Also, diversity is a positive attribute of true American society. America is never some homogeneous society consisting of just one culture or one race.
America is like a quilt that brings together humanity among different cultures, ethnicities, races, sexes, nationalities, creeds, and backgrounds into one national framework (filled with diversity, equality, and cultural greatness). Our cultural greatness is by We the People being filled with multifaceted origins (as all Americans are either descendants of slaves or descendants of immigrants plus migrants) and a dedication to one God-given principle of liberty for all in the fulfillment of the Golden Rule. Lindsay Vann was one brave person to compete in the Games despite being injured twice. Other competitors won gold, silver, and bronze. Yet, all athletes in Italy gained a priceless experience in seeing the wonder of Milan, the grand nature of human expression, and the commitment to solve global problems honorably. The 2026 Winter Olympics Games taking place in February make us aware to celebrate the black athletes who competed too in Black History Month. Laila Edwards is the first black U.S. women's hockey player who won gold in the women's ice hockey finals. Elana Meyers Taylor won gold, being the most decorated black Winter Olympian in bobsled. Other competitors who participated who are black people and people of color are Kayshsa Love, Aazaria Hill, Jasmine Jones, Mystique Ro, Darryl Payne Jr. (who is the first African American man to compete in the Olympic skeleton), Bryan Sosoo, Sarah Nurse (who won silver from Canade), Sophie Jaques (who won silver form Canada), Erin Jackson, Samuel Ikpefan, Nathan Tchibozo, and Issa Laborde. Additionally, showing compassion is always a vital feature of life. The Paralympic Winter Olympic Games in 2026 have inspired the global community with its magnanimous performances.
Noam Chomsky is certainly wrong to have been a friend of Jeffery Epstein, especially since Chomsky claims to be a leftist critique of American imperialism. There is no evidence that Chomsky was involved in sexual abuse. Yet, during the period leading to Epstein's July 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, Chomsky gave Epstein public relations counsel. Chomsky, in a February 2019 email, he expressed empathy for Chomsky. Chomsky called investigative journalists "vultures" and he wanted Epstein to ignore it. Chomsky have been tied to the political networks of the ruling class. For example, Chomsky sought out meeting with the fascist extremist Steve Bannon and Israeli war criminal Ehud Barak. This correspondence between Chomsky and Esptein represents the corruption found in bourgeois society. Back in 1967, Chomsky wrote his essay called "The Responsibility of Intellectuals" and he is known to have opposed the Vietnam War. Noam Chomsky laughing with an extremist like Steve Bannon in a picture proves once again that Chomsky is compromised. Bannon is a known Trump supporter and a member of the bigoted alt-right movement. Bannon supports the Muslim ban, family separation policy, and Trump's xenophobic agenda. Banon has worked with far-right extremists overseas like the French National Rally, Italy's Lega, German AfD, and Hungary's Viktor Orban. There, Chomsky is disappointing but his compromise is not shocking.
There is new information about my distant cousins from the Peeples family. Here it is: My first cousin James W. Peeples (1924-1979) married Mary Hannah Lampley (1924-2001) on April 24, 1947, in Norfolk, Virginia. Their children are Jaami A. Bilal (formerly James Eugene Peeples Jr.) (1952-2008), Shukriyyah Muslimah Ali (formerly Janis Peeples) (b. 1952), Khariyyah Tauheedah Peeples Mahdi Azeez (formerly Janette Peeples) (b. 1953) and Wilbur Lawrence Peeples (b. 1955). Shukriyyah Muslimah Ali married Herman Leroy Harris (1953-1979) on August 7, 1975 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Their daughter is Zakiyyah Ali (b. 1976). Shukriyyah Muslimah Ali has another daughter, who is Labeebah Ali Burrell (b. 1970). Khariyyah Tauheedah Peeples Mahdi Azeez first married Abbas Fatih Mahdi on June 30, 1975, and their daughters are Rasheedah Tauheedah Mahdi (b. 1976) and Fareedah Zarinah Moore (b. 1978). She later married Usman Muhammad Kolo Garba on August 7, 1983, in Norfolk, Virginia. She married Karim Lawrence Azeez until December 7, 2006, at Norfolk, Virginia. The daughter of Khariyyah Tauheedah Peeples Mahdi Azeez and Karime Lawrence Azeez is Nabeehah Arifah Azeez (b. 1987), and their son is U.S. Navy veteran Kalib Azeez (b. 1989). My 3rd cousin, Nabeehah Arifah Azeez married Abdul Azeez in 2026. Khariyyah Tauheedah Peeples Mahdi Azeez and Shukriyyah Muslimah Ali are twins. Rasheedah Tauheedah Mahdi married Chad Mensah on August 17, 2002, in Hanover, Virginia. This family has lived in Virginia, Brooklyn, New York City, and Alabama. The parents of my 1st cousin James W. Peeples were Glaster W. Peeples (1904-1956) and Irene Lashley Peeples (1905-1988). The parents of my great-granduncle, Glaster W. Peeples, were my 2nd great-grandparents, Charles Peeples (1855-1922) and Fannie Fronianna Susanna Virginia Brown (1857-1946).
My 2nd cousin Dorothy Jean Pittman Vance (b. 1944) is related to the Peeples family, too. Dorothy Pittman Vance was born on August 10, 1944, in Enfield, Halifax, North Carolina. She married Adock Vance (1943-1978) on April 9, 1967, in Alexandria, Virginia. Their daughter is the religious Christian Adriane Martelle Vance (b. 1971). She was married to Melvin Smith (b. 1972), and their daughter is Heaven Destiny Smith Wells (b. 1998). Adriane Martelle Vance lives in Lynchburg, Virginia. Heaven is my 3rd cousin who is married to O'Tario Wells, and their children are Azriel Wells and Lennox Wells. Heaven lives in Roanoke, Virginia. Dorothy Jean Pittman Vance's parents were John D. Pittman (1921-1994) and Annie Lee Pittman (1925-1992). The parents of my 1st cousin Annie Lee Pittman were Glaster W. Peeples (1904-1956) and Irene Lashley Peeples (1905-1988). The parents of my great-granduncle, Glaster W. Peeples, were my 2nd great-grandparents, Charles Peeples (1855-1922) and Fannie Fronianna Susanna Virginia Brown (1857-1946).

The 2026 State of the Union Address.
The 2026 State of the Union Address was one of the unique State of the Union addresses in history. Donald Trump went of to promote usual lies and blame Democrats for nearly all political problems in America, which is false to say the least. He defended his policies on immigration, the economy, tariffs, etc. when he has record low approval rating. Only about a third of Americans support Donald Trump. He spoke for one hour and 48 minutes. He called his administration a "turnaround of the ages" when many Americans struggle to afford health care, housing, education, and other legitimate services in everyday life. Trump is an agent of the super rich oligarchy plain and simple. In a cruel irony, we live in a time of 250 years after the Declaration of Independence. We don't desire billionaires to control the whole government, to promote armed raids on immigrant communities, to spread concentration camps across America (to house immigrants), to tear children from their families, to advance racial profiling, and to allow federal agents to gun down unarmed civilians in Minneapolis plus nationwide. Trump was silent on the Jeffrey Epstein files massively too. The dollar fell more than 9 percent in 2025. Social inequality has grown as the top 1 percent richest households control 31.7 percent of all wealth. He wants Congress to pass his retrograde policy initiatives involving immigration, etc. Many Democrats didn't attend the address, but some of them held a rally in Washington, D.C. The new Virginia Governor, Abigail Spanberger, gave the Democratic response to the words from Trump focusing on affordability, immigration, the economy, etc. Trump honored the gold medal-winning U.S. men's hockey team, who received a bipartisan standing ovation. He presented Medals of Honor to 2 people, including a 100-year-old Korean War veteran. Trump said that the murder rate has declined, but that the murder rate declined by multiple people, including Democratic governors and Democratic mayors, not the product of one man in office. The decline in the homicide rate since 2022 is good news. The unemployment rate is up to 4.3 percent from 4.1 percent in December 2024. Trump is wrong to assume that he secured $18 trillion in new investments in America. Trump falsely claimed that gas is now below $2.30 a gallon in most states. Gas prices has dropped from a recent national peak of $5.02 in June 2022 to $2.95 according to AAA, but that is not below $2.30 in most states.
Trump made the racist lie that members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion from the American taxpayer. Trump is the same joker who called Somalis "garbage" which is pure 100 percent racism. The truth is that nearly $18 billion of federal funds supported over a dozen of state run programs in Minnesota since 2018. Only Somalis charged with fraud are only 82 people, a small fraction of the whole Somali community in Minnesota. The biggest Minnesota fraud scheme to date was done by a white woman named Aimee Block. As for tariffs, most of the tariffs are passed to U.s. consumers and businesses. He promotes the SAVE Act, which the ACLU claims will increase the burden on people to vote. Trump made other lies, too. Trump contto say the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. One protester at the event was U.S. House of Representative leader Al Green of Texas (a Democrat) who held a sign "Black people aren't apes" at the U.S. Capitol. He is against the racist video that Trump has supported on his social media account before it was taken down. Green was escorted out of the chamber. He was escorted last year for protesting Trump's address to a joint session of Congress. Other people protested too like Epstein victims wearing pins and other Democrats holding signs. Two Democrats yelled at Trump "You killed Americans." Therefore, we have to keep our eyes on the prize which is freedom, justice, and equality for everyone. We have to use positive, bold, and constructive action in seeing that reality.
We have seen four years of the war in Ukraine. This war has a long history, years before 2022, but it started officially when Russia illegally invaded Ukrainian territory. To this very day, many far-right people and phony liberals justify Putin in invading Ukraine. Many fake liberals even lie and call Putin a great progressive leader, and many MAGA followers have praised Putin, too. Let's be clear on who Putin is. Putin is an authoritarian, far-right dictator who was once head of the Soviet KGB, which was an intelligence organization. Putin has jailed protesters and journalists who disagree with his policies. Human rights organizations have fully documented Putin's anti-liberty policies for years. Putin's Russian military forces have kidnapped Ukrainians, attacked civilian targets in Ukraine, and desire nothing more than an annexation of most if not all of Ukraine. The Ukrainian people have shown courage and proved that the Russian military is not omnipotent by any measure.
There are a lot of events in the world. One is that negotiations between America and Iran are ongoing. This comes when Trump has sent massive bombers and naval ships in the Middle East. Trump wants to attack Iran if attempts at diplomacy fail. He is doing this without Congressional consultation, because Trump is a neo-conservative involving foreign policy while hypocritically claiming to try to escape "forever wars." The U.S. military build up in the Middle East against Iran is the largest since 2003 (which was the year when the Iraq War existed). According to Robert Pape, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, he wrote that this force represents 40-50 percent of deployable U.S. air power in the world. We should be clear that we reject any U.S. attack on Iran, which is a country with 90 million people. Such an act is an illegal international crime. Also, Jay Bhattacharya takes over the CDC as measles cases surge in America. We know about the plan for the Georgia internment camp for immigrations with 10,000 beds. Many people oppose this plan.
California Governor Gavin Newsom went and talked about SAT scores. I'm consistent. I'm opposed to Trumpism and the MAGA movement, but if a person made offensive comments (regardless of political party), then he or she should be criticized. Newsom is completely wrong on his comments. He spoke in Atlanta, Georgia, with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. Gavin said that he is a regular person by having 960 on the SAT, and you never seen him read a speech because I can't read a speech. Gavin is wrong, because regular people can read or not read and score high on SATs. We shouldn't inspire people to have low expectations in life. We should inspire people to achieve excellence through hard work and assistance if necessary. Gavin knows full well he can use many different words (in describing his dyslexia) to appeal to working-class people of every color in Atlanta, Georgia. In truth, black people historically don't glorify low bar standards. We made high standards of creating movements, being lawyers, being geniuses, and creating massive improvements in society by merit, by our God-given talents, and by our strength plus resiliency. Likewise, the MAGA movement is filled with racism, sexism, and bigotry, as proven by Trump supporting a racist video about Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. That is why Kamala Harris would never make such comments as Gavin had done. Gavin made slick, sexist comment about Kamala (of saying that without Wille Brown, Kamala would never be where she is. That is a sexist lie as Kamala graduated and earned political power in being a district Attorney, a State Attorney, a United States Senator, and Vice President by her own merit) when Kamala led a powerful Presidential campaign that focused on solutions not a faulty diatribe. Gavin needs to apologize to Kamala Harris and black people for his nonsense period.

Late February 2026 Facts on Life.
One mystery is whether Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason or a member of a a Secret Society. What is the truth? So far, there is no conclusive evidence that Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason. Involving research, you have to get verifiable resources to validate a point. According to Professor James Penton (in his book Apocalypse Delayed: The Story of Jehovah's Witnesses, Third Edition, on pages 64 and 415), Russell was not a Freemason. Lloyd Evans and Bruce W. Schulz and R. M. de Vienne in their book deny that Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason. His uncle Thomas Birney, was a Freemason (as he was a member of the St. John Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons). Barbara Anderson was another scholar who wrote that Charles Taze Russell was not a Mason. Masonic groups deny that Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason too. This doesn't mean that Freemasonry is some quaint, holy group. For over 20 years, I have used Masonic sources to proves that Masons use deception on the Blue Lodges, some Masons promote the fallacy of human godhood, oaths filled with death are in Masonic degrees (even if they aren't to be taken literally), they merge various creeds' teachings into a New Age like theistic framework, and they promote other notorious falsehoods in claiming to have the true Light (when the Son of God has the light along with the Father and the Holy Spirit). Charles Taze Russell gave a speech to Masons to try to convert Masons to his religion in 1913. Occult imagery has been used in the Jehovah Witnesses like the winged sun disk, the cross and the crown, the two pillars, the All Seeing Eye, etc. Defenders claims that Adventists used this, but the original Christians never used such symbols to express themselves. Each of these symbols have occult relationships. For example, the All Seeing Eye was used by ancient Egyptians, and other pagan societies: "...his (Osiris) power was symbolized by an eye over the Sceptre. The Sun was termed by the Greeks the Eye of Jupiter, and the Eye of the world; and his (The Sun glyph) is the All-Seeing Eye in our Lodges." (Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, pp. 15-16, 477). Here is another source on this image: "...upon the Path of Initiation, the initiate develops his tiny correspondence to the planetary `All-Seeing Eye.' (Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul - Discipleship). Don't get it twisted now. I've got my receipts now. We know that Charles Taze Russell is not a Mason, but he used occult and Masonic words and concepts in his books and writings like New World, Golden Age, initiated, The Divine Order, Grand Master, Grand Architect of the Universe, new light, etc. These concepts are found in Theosophists, Universalists, New Ages, Hindus, etc. Charles Taze Russell used the Masonic Knights Templar logo on his literature. One Masonic History of Freemasonry book has that logo. Fritz Springmeier's The Watchtower and the Masons exposed many of the heresies in the Jehovah Witness organization. The Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is “God’s visible organization” on the earth (as found in The Watchtower, 10-1-67, p.587 and 1-15-83, p.12). This a notorious heresy. Since the Watchtower denies the incarnation of God, the immorality of the souls, the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the Deity of Jesus Christ, you know that it is not a Christian religious group. That is not just importance to rebuke false doctrine. It is also important to give Jehovah Witnesses the opportunity to repent and leave the Jehovah Witnesses as tons of ex-Jehovah Witnesses have existed in preaching the true Gospel to humanity.
This year is the 60th year anniversary of the film Taxi Driver. Taxi Driver was ahead of its time featuring issues of politics, mental health issues, and a post-Vietnam War New York City (filled with deindustrialization, economic issues, debates on what to do about crime, and decay of much of its infrastructure). Taxi Driver is a 1976 American neo-noir psychological drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader. Set in a decaying New York City following the Vietnam War, it stars Robert De Niro as veteran Marine and taxi driver Travis Bickle, whose mental state deteriorates as he works nights in the city. The film also features Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Leonard Harris, and Albert Brooks (in his first feature film role). The film was filmed during the summer of 1975. The actors and actresses took pay cuts to make sure that the project would be finished with $.19 million in its budget (which was low). For the score, Bernard Herrmann composed what would be his final score. The music was finished mere hours before his death, and the film is dedicated to him. Theatrically released by Columbia Pictures on February 8, 1976, the film was critically and commercially successful despite generating controversy for both its graphic violence in the film's climax, and for the casting of 12-year-old Foster as a child prostitute. The film received numerous accolades, including the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival and four nominations at the 49th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (for De Niro), and Best Supporting Actress (for Foster).
Although Taxi Driver generated further controversy for inspiring John Hinckley Jr.'s attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in 1981, the film has remained popular. According to STRAND Magazine, it is considered one of the greatest films ever made, and one of the most culturally significant and inspirational of its time. In 2022, Sight & Sound named it the 29th-best film ever in its decennial critics' poll, and the 12th-greatest film of all time on its directors' poll, tied with Barry Lyndon. In 1994, the film was designated as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically" significant by the U.S. Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. The film starts in New York City with Vietnam War veteran Travis Bickle working as a night shift taxi driver to deal with his chronic insomnia and loneliness. It was like Travis Bickle (played by Robert DeNiro) in the film goes into more madness as the film continues. He goes into adult movie theaters and creates a diary that deals with aphorisms like "you're only as healthy as you feel." He becomes disgusted with the crime and urban decay that he witnesses in the city and dreams about getting "the scum off the streets."
Travis becomes infatuated with Betsy, a campaign worker for Senator and presidential candidate Charles Palantine. Travis enters the campaign office where she works and asks her to join him for coffee, to which she agrees. Betsy agrees to go on a second date with him, during which he takes her to an adult movie theater, which she leaves immediately. He attempts to reconcile with her but fails. Enraged, he storms into the campaign office where she works and berates her before being kicked out of the office.
Experiencing an existential crisis and seeing various acts of prostitution throughout the city, Travis confides in a fellow taxi driver, nicknamed Wizard, about his violent thoughts. However, Wizard dismisses them and assures him that he will be fine. To find an outlet for his rage, Travis follows an intense physical training regimen. He gets in contact with black market gun dealer Easy Andy and buys four handguns. At home, Travis practices drawing his weapons, going as far as creating a quick-draw firearm hidden in his sleeve. He begins attending Palantine's rallies to scope out his security. One night, Travis shoots a man attempting to rob a convenience store run by his friend, leaving before the cops arrive as the convenience store owner proceeds to beat the non-responsive robber.
In his trips around the city, Travis regularly encounters Iris, a 12-year-old child prostitute. Tricking her pimp and abusive lover Sport into thinking that he wants to solicit her, Travis meets with her in private and tries to persuade her to stop prostituting herself. Travis shaves his hair into a mohawk and attends a public rally where he plans to assassinate Palantine. However, Secret Service agents see Travis putting his hand inside his jacket and approach him, which escalates to a chase. Travis escapes pursuit and makes it home undetected.
That evening, Travis drives to the brothel where Iris works to kill Sport. He enters the building and shoots Sport and one of Iris's clients, a mafioso. Travis is shot several times but manages to kill the two men. He fights with the bouncer, whom he manages to stab through the hand with his knife and kill with a gunshot to the head. Travis attempts to die by suicide, but has no bullets. Severely injured, he slumps on a couch next to a sobbing Iris. As the police respond to the scene, a delirious Travis mimics shooting himself in the head with his bloody finger. Travis goes into a coma due to his injuries, but he is hailed by the press as a heroic vigilante and not prosecuted for the murders. He receives a letter from Iris's parents in Pittsburgh, who thank him and reveal that she is safe and attending school. After recovering, Travis returns to work, where he encounters Betsy as a fare. Betsy tells him that she followed his story in the newspapers. Travis drops her off at her home but declines to take her money, driving off with a smile. He becomes agitated after noticing something in his rearview mirror but continues driving into the night. Taxi Driver represents the vigilante films that were common in the 1970s. DeNiro's character is an anti-hero but isn't truly treated for his mental health issues or his insecurities about life. The lesson of the film is that it is important to disagree with crime vigorously, but there are moral avenues to combat evil, not through dangerous vigilantism.
Him is a 2025 American supernatural horror film co-written and directed by Justin Tipping. The film stars Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, and Jim Jefferies. Its plot follows a young up-and-coming football player (Withers) training at the isolated compound of an aging, nearly retired quarterback (Wayans). Him was released in the United States on September 19, 2025, by Universal Pictures. The film was controversial and had tons of symbolism in it. After me realizing what this film, it is certainly one of the most occult films of the 2020s. It revealed how many elites embrace occultism and the corruption found in many segments of the sports industry. Young Cameron "Cam" Cade watches his favorite football team, the San Antonio Saviors, win the league championship. His joy turns to distress when his quarterback idol, Isaiah White, suffers a violent, possibly career-ending injury while scoring the winning touchdown. Cam's father tells him that real men are willing to make such sacrifices. Years later, Cam's father has died, and Cam is now a rising football star. Encouraged by his family and girlfriend, he trains for the league combine. While practicing late on an empty field, Cam is ambushed and assaulted by an unidentified figure in a goat costume, causing a head injury that endangers his career.
Motivated by his agent, Tom, Cam plans to attend the combine to pursue the Saviors' quarterback position, despite the risk of permanent brain damage if he sustains another injury. While overstimulated due to his concussion, Cam lashes out at his brother and Tom, ultimately refusing to participate in the combine. Tom later reveals that Isaiah is considering retirement and has offered to train Cam for a week at a remote desert compound to prove himself a worthy successor. Cam accepts and travels there, encountering crazed Isaiah fans led by Marjorie, who try to intimidate him out of replacing their hero.
At the compound, Isaiah puts Cam through disturbing challenges, including a practice drill where a jugs machine repeatedly hits a player in the face and another drill where Cam severely headbutts another player. Cam secretly receives shots of Isaiah's blood, which he is led to believe is an energy booster, and experiences frequent hallucinations of masked figures, which he attributes to the concussion. While in a sauna, Cam is attacked by Marjorie and overpowers her. Isaiah arrives and kills her, leaving Cam unsettled by his apparent lack of remorse for doing so. As Cam tries to leave, Isaiah's wife, Elsie, apologizes for Isaiah's behavior and seduces Cam. Cam wakes the next morning to Isaiah holding him at gunpoint, demanding to know if Cam and Elsie slept together. Isaiah ridicules Cam for feeling guilty about cheating on his girlfriend, saying winners are remorseless.
Elsie invites Cam to a secret party to meet the owners of the Saviors. When Cam arrives, Marco, the team doctor, whispers to him to "run" before leaving. The owners offer Cam a strange red liquid, which he drinks, unaware that it is Isaiah's blood. A disoriented Cam finds Marco's severed head in a plastic-lined room. Elsie comforts him as he loses consciousness. Cam later wakes up in an ice bath at Isaiah's compound, connected to an IV of Isaiah's blood. He rips out the IV, injects a serum given by Marco, and grabs a jagged trophy, aiming to kill Isaiah and escape. Cam finds Isaiah watching a video of cheering fans. Isaiah reveals he is part of a line of manufactured "Greatest of All Time" (G.O.A.T.) players who gain enhanced abilities from ritual blood transferred down a lineage. Isaiah tells Cam they must fight to the death with one G.O.A.T. transfusion victor. After a struggle, Cam bludgeons Isaiah to death with a helmet.
Cam leaves the room and steps onto a football field, where he finds Elsie, the Saviors' owners, and Tom, all wearing animal masks. They present him with a contract to sign, revealing that Cam's father arranged for him to be the next G.O.A.T. They explain that the earlier masked attack was orchestrated to lead Cam to the Saviors as no one else would want to draft him. Cam refuses to sign the contract. After an owner threatens to kill his family for refusing to sign, Cam snaps and kills the masked attacker — who is revealed to be Isaiah and Cam's trainer, Malek — using a hammer pick axe. An enraged Elsie attempts to attack Cam, but she dies accidentally stabbing herself in the neck, while he kills all the owners with a sword. However, he spares Tom, who is dragged into a pentagram and destroyed by an unseen force. Outside the compound, a bloodied Cam walks past masked cheerleaders and into the desert. There are alternative endings in the film too. Marlon Wayans plays Isaiah White (who is a quarterback for the San Antonio Saviors), Tyriq Withers play Cameron Cade, Tierra Whack played Adrienne (Cam's girlfriend), and Julia Fox plays Elsie White (Isaiah's wife). The film HIM is one of the most symbolic films of the 2020s. It has trauma programming rituals, Pentagrams, adrenochrome symbols. So, despite it not being popular, the film outlines how the elite can groom athletic stars for decades. The film is about a young man being a heroic person to joined the occult elite's world. The HIM film poster shows the protagonist posing like he is Jesus crucified standing on a pentagram. Another poster shows a severed human inside a horned helmet. It doesn't get anymore blatant than that. The movie cites the San Antonio Saviors versus the Atlanta Masons. In the film, a goat-headed assailant hits Cam over the head, Cam's hone shows the address of 1717 Masonic Ave. (1717 is the year when the Grand Lodge of England was created in the modern age). There is a graphic scene of sexual humiliation and submission. The movie shows the mass media asking him questions. So, I wouldn't recommend people watching this film because of its occult, graphic scenes that I can't mention here. Yet, we should realize that films like HIM are not covert. The movie shows Cam in a scene that copies the Last Supper where he replaces Jesus in mocking Christianity in my opinion. The movie has a logo looking like the Masonic square and compass in the scene with Cam and Zay. The rest of the film shows Cam being involved in a satanic ritual to sell his soul to play football. They are overt in promoting graphic occult propaganda that can't save a soul. Only God can save souls. We should reject wicked rituals and live in righteousness in opposition to the agenda of the global elite.

Here are many studies involving health:
1. According to the Journal of Sport and Health Science article on February 17, 2026, this simple exercise habit may keep your brain younger. The study showed that adults who exercised regularly for a year had brains that appeared nearly a year younger on MRI scans. This research is found from the AdventHealth Research Institute. Regular exercise has been proven to improve brain power. Researchers found that a consistent aerobic workout routine may help the brain to remain biologically young. This relates to better thinking, stronger memory, and better overall well-being. This is done, according to the study of adults (this study enrolled 130 healthy adults aged 26 to 58. Those assigned to exercise did 60-minute sessions and other home workouts to reach about 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week, as matching the recommendations from the American College of Sports Medicine). Those who completed a structured year-long aerobic exercise program (as compared to people who didn't increase their physical activity). Brain PAD is called Brain Predicted Age Difference. Dr. Lu Wan, the lead author and data scientist at the AdventHealth Research Institute said that a simple, guideline-based exercise program can make the brain look measurably younger than over just 12 months. It is important to study VO2 levels too or oxygen uptake. Scientists want people to intervene with such workouts in middle age at the 30s, 40s, and 50s to reduce the risk of dementia and cognitive decline in general.
2. There is a study that exercise variety, not just the amount, is linked to a lower risk of premature mortality. This new study was done by researchers at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. It cited that consistently engaging in a variety of exercises like walking, weightlifting, and gardening can lower the risk of premature mortality, even when total physical activity level was held constant. The study was published on January 20, 2026, Tuesday in the BMJ Medicine. The researched used health and lifestyle ate from more than 110,000 adult men and women over the course of more than 30 years. It was collected by the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow Up Study. The study found that participants who engaged in the highest variety of exercises had a 19 percent lower risk of premature death compared to those who engaged in the lowest variety. These activities can be jogging, running, bicycling, calisthenics, tennis, lifting weights, racquetball, etc. According to Yang Hu, research scientist in the Department of Nutrition, engaging in multiple types of physical activities (not just one) will cause many benefits.
3. There is a study that says that not eating foods three hours before bedtime could benefit heart health. The study found that extended fasting could improve blood pressure and heart rate patterns during sleep according to a study. This study was conducted by Northwestern University. The study found that an overnight fast for two hours and not eating for three hours prior to sleep were shown to improve cardiovascular and metabolic health. These results were found among middle aged and older adults, who are a higher risk for cardiometabolic disease, as stated in a university press release. The study lasted for almost 8 weeks. It was published in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology.
Involving professional wrestling, there is massive training and qualifications. Physical fitness is viewed as the minimum requirement for entry in the field. Most professional wrestlers have least some athletic background or training like in the past with Kurt Angle, Ron Simmons, Undertaker, Stone Cold, The Rock, and the present with Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Charlotte Flair, etc. Professional wrestlers have formal training in specialized professional wrestling schools or academics. These places are independent or associated with a specific promotion. No one goes into professional wrestling with a free ride. Candidates are usually trained and coached by experienced professional wrestlers. Training regiments include both athletic and performative aspects of professional wrestling like physical fitness, choreography, and dramatization. Trainees are usually pitted against each other or with their instructors in matches before small crowds to demonstrate and refine their skill in improvisation, mock combat, and stage presence. There are risk in professional wrestling too. Many people faced life changing injuries, accidents, and deaths like Owen Hart. Some strikes in wrestling are stiff, especially in Japan. Stiff means using excessive force when using a move that will cause real increased legitimate pain a professional wrestler. Professional wrestlers know of the risk. As Professional wrestler Davey Richards have said in 2015, "We train to take damage, we know we are going to take damge and we accept that."
During Anna J. Cooper's later years, she continued to be an author, educator, and public speaker. In 1893, she gave the opening address at the World's Congress of Representative Women in Chicago. She was one of five African American women invited to speak at this event, along with Fannie Barrier Williams, Sarah Jane Woodson Early, Hallie Quinn Brown, and Fanny Jackson Coppin. In the 1902 speech, she said the following words: "...A nation's greatness is not dependent upon the things it make and uses. Things without thoughts [ sic] are mere vulgarities. America can boast her expanse of territory, her gilded domes, her paving stones of silver dollars; but the question of deepest moment in this nation today is its men and its women, the elevation at which it receives its "vision" into the firmament of eternal truth." (The Ethics of the Negro Question", September 5, 1902). In 1914, at 56, Cooper began courses for her doctoral degree at Columbia University. However, she was forced to interrupt her studies in 1915 when she adopted her late half-brother's five children upon their mother's death. Later, she transferred her credits to the University of Paris, which did not accept her Columbia thesis, an edition of Le Pèlerinage de Charlemagne. Over a decade, she researched and composed her dissertation, completing her coursework in 1924. Cooper defended her thesis "The Attitude of France on the Question of Slavery Between 1789 and 1848" in 1925. Cooper's retirement from Washington Colored High School in 1930 was not the end of her political activism.
The same year she retired, she accepted the position of president at Frelinghuysen University, a school founded to provide classes for D.C. residents lacking access to higher education. Cooper worked for Frelinghuysen for twenty years, first as president and then as registrar, and left the school only a decade before she died in 1964 at the age of 105. At the age of 65, she became the fourth Black woman in American history to earn a Doctor of Philosophy degree. Her work was eventually published in an anthology of medieval French literature and was requested for classes and the bookstore at Harvard. In 1929, Cooper was elected to succeed Jesse Lawson as president of Frelinghuysen University, a post she assumed in 1930. Under Cooper's leadership in the 1930s, Frelinghuysen University focused on increasing literacy among the African American working poor and providing liberal arts and vocational education for unskilled workers. Karen A. Johnson writes in "In Service for the Common Good" Anna Julia Cooper and Adult Education that Cooper practiced a "decolonizing pedagogy", further saying: "Cooper believed that the essential purpose for a "decolonizing" approach to adult education content was to assist her students in developing their abilities to question dominant thought ... Cooper's ultimate goal for her learning adults was their preparation for intellectual enlightenment as well as to equip them to battle for a better society at large." After the university found servicing its mortgage prohibitive, she moved the institution to her own house. Cooper retired from her position as president in 1940, but she continued her involvement with the university, taking a position as its registrar.
Anna Julia Cooper's educational philosophy was deeply rooted in the belief that education is a transformative tool for social change and racial uplift, particularly for African Americans. As an educator and later the president of Frelinghuysen University, Cooper championed a holistic approach to learning that went beyond mere vocational training. She emphasized that education should cultivate critical thinking, self-improvement, and active civic engagement, preparing students to be not only skilled but socially responsible individuals. Scholars argue that Anna Julia Cooper's work has been overshadowed by more celebrated figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, even though her contributions often preceded or paralleled his ideas. For example, Cooper addressed concepts akin to “double consciousness” and critiqued portrayals of Black Americans in literature well before Du Bois, who frequently referenced her ideas without providing proper attribution. On February 27, 1964, Cooper died in Washington, D.C., at the age of 105 from a heart attack. Her memorial was held in a chapel on the campus of Saint Augustine's College, in Raleigh, North Carolina, where her academic career began. She was buried alongside her husband at the City Cemetery in Raleigh.

Andrew Arrested: The New Era of the Epstein Scandal.
Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Andrew is the first British royal to be arrested by British authorities in four centuries. Later, he was released, and he returned to Sandringham Estate. Andrew was shown in a photograph reclining in the back of a vehicle, leaving Aylsham police station in Norfolk, UK. King Charles said that he wants the law to take its course, and he mentioned in a statement that he will cooperate with the legal authorities in all of his capacities. Andrew was arrested over a complaint about the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. There is a victim who claimed that Andrew abused her. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. The Epstein victims have praised the arrest as a positive step. As more information comes out involving the Epstein scandal, the more facts we shall see this evil didn't come by one person. It came about by a network of evil people who desire greed, power, abuse, and exploitation against innocent human beings.
Some breaking news is that Congressman Ted Lieu said that there are Epstein files showing allegations that Trump has sexually assaulted children. I don't know if these allegations are true or not. If it is true, Trump needs to go to prison. Trump has denied all allegations of sexual abuse. Even if Trump is not guilty of abusing children, Trump is guilty of racism, sexism, and xenophobia. One example of this is when Trump called Somalis "garbage." Time will tell the truth. Red Lieu said that if Jeffrey Epstein was human trafficking minors for these perverted parties, and a person shows up and patronizes the establishment of that party, that person is just as guilty as Epstein. Hillary Clinton has accused the Trump administration of perpetuating the Epstein files cover-up. Epstein is not alone in abusing innocent human beings. There are many people involved in the sexual abuse of people. Congress leaders have grilled a billionaire Les Wexler who Epstein emailed about secrets. Les Wexler is not facing legal charges from the DOJ, and Wexler claimed that he was duped by Epstein. Many Congressional leaders are not buying Wexler's story.
The Fulton County authorities of Georgia are fighting back against the Trump administration's getting voting records from 2020. To this day, Trump believes in the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. Still, fake Christians on YouTube and in other places of the Internet (not real Christians who have exposed the MAGA cult for years) continue to praise Trump unconditionally. The Georgia election board held its first meeting since the FBI seized ballots. The reality is that Republicans have certified the 2020 election results in Georgia as Biden winning Georgia. There is no quiet part at all. This is an overt agenda of Trump trying to steal the 2026 election if it doesn't go his way. Trump wants to ban mail-in ballots, he seeks to create more voting restrictions, and he wants voting rolls to eliminate people who dissent with his views. The Fulton County is right to accuse the DOJ of promoting a misleading narrative in the 2020 probe. Many far-right Republicans want ICE agents to monitor voting places. Trump believes that the Republicans must take over voting locations. That is why progressive actions are fighting back in the courts. This voter suppression agenda is very real.
