Thought it was time to take a break from the lies, the vendettas, alcohol, abuse, watching the US form into a Third World Country as it had been referred to by someone who behaves like a third grader….
Summary
In 2025 the darkness has increased with and government that has absolutely no qualms about lying, voting [that is up for debate] for a 34 time convicted felon, rapist, voter fraud, and insurrectionist. The US relationship with our allies have all been delibertaly severed – the animals out in the field and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue at not behaving normally. The world is on fire [literally] the practicing dictator wanna-be has a truck filled with #sharpies and is determined to use them all and not waste one swipe. Unbiased media has been locked up, while simultaniously the WH news liason is staring to have toddler trantums with 3 line response to everything the media ask: (1) asked and and answered; (2) I answered this (on some other universe – she is clearly following her script) if you being asked again the media has received conflicting informatoin or you lied the first time; 3. in any flavor – tRump is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I have yet to hear – “….we fight not against flesh and blood…” and “… if my people who are called by my Name…” the anger and rage is too thick for this not to be a spritual war.
Let’s get those babies and take a break, breath and let your heart smile and let a lil healing have it’s way.

One Genius Coming Up…
Update – 040126
Just one kiss will do…but it was the second look of awareness..
Below are some videos that made me smile…
Man and Son – look at his little foot to the beat of the song – that’s peace right there…
In 2024 this world is getting darker and colder. Republicans are led and controlled by tRump a whining, lying, racist, rapist, ex-president who still refuses to believe he lost against Biden.
Federal data from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that between 2007 and 2011, an average of 62 children aged 14 and under were accidentally shot and killed each year. However, our analysis of publicly reported gun deaths shows that the federal data substantially undercounts these deaths. Mother Jones reported to following statistics in December of 2013
Additional findings include:
60 Children Murdered in Chicago This Year
A school bus filled with children enrolled at Our Lady Of Guadalupe Elementary School was shot at in the South Deering neighborhood on Friday. A young girl and her mother were shot inside their home while sleeping on the Far South Side on Calumet Avenue early Thursday. Another child is being treated at Christ Hospital. One-year-old Jayilah Allen has a gunshot wound to the head.
A review of hospital records found that firearms caused 7,391 hospitalizations among children younger than 20 during 2009, the most recent year for which records are available, said Dr. John Leventhal, lead study author. Of those shooting victims, 453 died while in the hospital. More than half of the gun injuries involved an attack on the child, but nearly one-third were unintentional, the investigators found. (Others were of undetermined causes or from suicide attempts.) Three of four hospitalizations of children younger than 10 resulted from accidental injuries.
Book of Genesis
Adam was charged to maintain the garden and its inhabitants, yet he failed when his wife (Who was under the bond of Satan) suggested they eat from the “tree”; Adam blamed Eve and said to God – The man said, “The woman you put here with me–she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Adam once again was unable to prevent the son of his wife, Cain from killing Abel in a jealous frenzy – And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
It takes 2 people to create a child, yet in many homes, the child is raised by one parent. Raising children is not a difficult task when two parents understand the precious value of a child’s life –
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
We can continue to post all the shootings and despair across social media – will that protect our loved ones, I think not. The march in Selma was used to generate media attention to the refusal to let Black folk vote. Equally whenever there is (what we as viewers believe) is an unnecessary use of force, it has now become standard for the media to overfeed us with snippets of the scene and later the media covers the locals who create a one-night vigil that may include additional law-breaking activities. We can march from now till the cows come home, but ask yourself, “What change am expecting to see or what can change as a result of my march?” Will the police ask more questions before shooting, will our young men stop shooting each other? Will the school system change its delivery methods? If I march on Monday, will that create a stimulus for prison reform? If not, then it may be time to find our purpose, and our values, and identify what is important to us individually and collectively.
I propose we start with the beginning – our infant babies. Have you been in the presence of a baby and made that “baby noise” to induce a smile? Or have you ever turned your head at the right moment and seen a precious baby in a stroller and at that exact moment the baby smiles at you?
Would you like to participate in the #SmilingInfant #CampaignForPeace? Submit a photo of a smiling infant or smiling toddler that would make the viewer smile to support & encourage others to focus on what is important.
For every post or news story about a shooting let’s post a “SmilingInfant”, let’s take a stand to keep this campaign of peace going throughout your community and others.
This little fella stole the hearts of all the women at church. His grandmother would bring him and I would watch him “float” around the church from one cooing woman to the next. One day I thought to myself as I walked around, I’m going to just ‘take’ him. To my surprise, he didn’t bat an eye, the lashes on this baby.
Dying, our babies are dying in the street, and upon arrival of the ER – Police are investigating the shooting deaths of two men Tuesday night. One of the men has been identified as Tyree McCrea, 36, of New Haven, Officer David B. Hartman said early Wednesday. The second man’s name had not been confirmed; he is believed to have been in his 20s., twenty years old! What were your doing at 20 years old, now that you know would you change anything?
This photo was submitted by one of my best friends in high school. I had no idea about the meaning or definition of the phrase “Best Friend” back then. A friend was a person who hung out with me, we called each other on the phone – morning, noon, and night. A friend would wait for me after every class as would I also, and we would meet up in the morning before school, after school, and all day during school. We would share secrets and gossip about other friends. We would honor and protect each other through the bad, the good, and the ugly times. I must say not much has changed in my definition/understanding of “Best Friends” I still expect the same level of commitment from a friend that I offer. I must say that if you find that you are not on my “Best Friend” list today it was not because I ejected you from the list. With that said, Michelle and I had some great times together, and for a long time we were disconnected – she moved away, I went into the Armed Forces, and after a decade or so our paths crossed one night and we spent hours on the phone – as if time had gently stopped ticking in our absence from one another. This is a reason for me to #smile and for a few seconds I will not think about the violence in this world, the insane presidential election, or any nonsense. This is a reason for me to stay on the #roadlesstraveled – so I will be ready when the next “Best Friend” travels through and remember what made us #friends. Submit a picture of a smiling baby today to participate in #msconcerneds #campaignforpeace #smilinginfant It must be a “real” photo with parental permission!!! We must do something to counteract the daily violence posted by the media. Are you willing to help? Send your photo today, what better way to think about peaceful things than looking at an infant smiling – surely their lives are worthy of us helping each other…
According Carol Austin vice president of marketing, “July is winding down, and while we’re hopeful that August brings some slightly more pleasant weather, we’re a tad wistful that National Ice Cream Month is coming to an end. As a way to celebrate just one more time, was offering a sweet deal on all your favorite flavors. Here’s a sweet deal that will last a life time, 2 scoops in this photo will provide endless days of smiles. The photo was submitted by a long time family friend who has seen his share of alleged murderers, rapists, thieves and con-artist. A lover of the #DallasCowboys and a concerned member of his community, family and the elderly. There are many sweet scoops of life in this man and his two grandchildren. What will you do in your community to help foster peace and growth among the residents?
The parents of this little girl has allowed us to share in the personal viewing of her life since birth. Each photo gave me and hundreds of others a reason to smile and immediately remove my care and concern for “this” world and the hatred and violence that is rapidly increasing – if only for a minute. I would like to thank her parents for allowing me start my #CampaignForPeace with their daughter’s photo. My hope is that for every violent story posted someone will forward a picture of a smiling infant to counteract the despair some may feel as this world turns upside down.
This little girl was in the North Lake Mall in Charlotte North Carolina, as I was walking back in to the mall shopping area, I was so intrigued by her face and her smile which was so sudden and quick – not be a professional photographer I could not catch it. Nonetheless, I will always remember how quickly she smiled and the warm willingness of her parents to give me (a stranger) to use her photo for my #CampaignForPeace.
Montrell Jackson wrote this message on July 8, 2016 and was murdered on July 17, 2016. “I’m working in these streets, so any protesters, officers, friends, family, or whoever,” the 32-year-old officer he wrote on his Facebook page, “if you see me and need a hug or want to say a prayer, I got you.
The Lord chose her a woman of no great notoriety or significance; that is until she found herself a virgin and with child. Had it not been for the Angel who spoke to Joseph and told him about the birth she could have been an outcast and divorced from her family and friends. However, a woman who can produce two babies falls under the category of miraculous. Imagine two, two of everything, two hearts, two heads, two smiles – double the fun of watching them grow. I implore you to please put your anger under submission and think about these precious little people.
This little girl grew up into a woman that has self-defined herself and in that she owns her definition of peach. Demonstrated by inaction and forgiveness when others hurt her, she never desires to retaliate in like manner to others. Much like her daddy, she disapproves of any type of bullying. She doesn’t understand any way to be but herself. She believes the best she can be is – to do for others.
She made it to age 13 and counting, some have not been so blessed. I met her mother and aunt Allison and Leslie in Connecticut. I thought they were 2 interesting young ladies, never had I seen someone decorate their work cube with pillows! Their mother is a walking reference manual, she provided me with enough material to write an entire paper on the progression of Yale University School of Medicine – IT from a medical facility’s growth factor and yes I received an outstanding A grade. It was not until I went to the baby shower that I saw the farm yes a FARM in the back of their home. The father was raising chickens – are you kidding me, right down the street from daily gunfire activity in New Haven, CT. That’s when I came to see the full picture of Love. Love was just dripping from their hearts, windows, kitchen, front porch, and throughout that farm!!!

This is just a draft first to say my apologies for my crazy looking website. Second second second OK look at that. I did not say second three times as it appears using talk to text number three wonder why it didn’t actually put that miracle representation of the number three considering this should be a list so there’s that but talk to text. I wonder if they thought about oh look at that it did say talk twice and sometimes it corrects itself sometimes it’s a trap but you know what it’s looking just like I wanted to. I’ll be back in a few gonna see if at some point during normal Wagoner I can get World Press on the line find out exactly what’s going on. Seems all over cooperation but maybe your first introduction to Customer Service and sometimes they run naked and neck. both are terrible. I’ll be back. Have a good day and a better one tomorrow. 
A 7-billion-dollar industry that in prior years one would have to purchase a separate airline ticket to travel with a cello. A new company just received investors to fund the printing of cellos – with individual specifications. That confirms the population of folk that attend events w-that include classical music performed with an orchestra is alive and well in spite of the destruction of The Kennedy Center.
According to Bachtrack’s 2025 classical‑music statistics the most comprehensive global dataset available:
This is the clearest indicator that the orchestral ecosystem is not shrinking it’s stabilizing and in some regions expanding.
🎼 Who’s Performing the Most?
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s 2024 report shows:
If the new company can:
…it taps directly into a market where international mobility is a constant requirement.
Here’s the connection:
Professional cellists often:
With 31,455 live events and heavy touring by top orchestras, the demand for:
…is structurally supported by the volume of global performances.
History of The Kennedy Center
In 1955, recognizing America’s need to take its place on the world’s cultural stage, President Dwight D. Eisenhower established a commission for a new public auditorium in the nation’s capital. Three years later, he signed the National Cultural Center Act (Pub. L. No. 85-874). In signing this act, President Eisenhower confirmed the inherent value of the arts to all Americans, and created what would ultimately become the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts—a true ‘artistic mecca,’ and one of the world’s most respected organizations.
Marcotte argues this incident is part of a larger trend:
Her overarching claim: The movement cannot create culture, so it seeks to destroy or suppress the culture it cannot control.
Sometimes one simply can’t help a homeless cat – they keep coming back…

🏛️ Constitutional and Executive Roles
• Chief Executive: Oversees the enforcement of federal laws, manages the executive branch, and appoints Cabinet members and federal officials (with Senate approval).
• Commander-in-Chief: Leads the U.S. armed forces. While Congress declares war, the president directs military operations and strategy.
• Chief Diplomat: Shapes foreign policy, negotiates treaties (ratified by the Senate), and represents the U.S. in international affairs.
• Chief Legislator: Influences lawmaking by proposing legislation, signing bills into law, or vetoing them. Delivers the annual State of the Union to outline policy goals.
🧭 Symbolic and Civic Roles
• Chief of State: Serves as the ceremonial leader of the country, representing national unity and values at home and abroad.
• Chief Citizen: Expected to embody civic virtue and moral leadership, acting in the public interest and setting a tone for national discourse.
• Chief of Party: Leads their political party, shaping its platform and supporting candidates during elections.
⚖️ Limits and Accountability
• The president’s powers are checked by Congress and the judiciary.
Executive orders, for example, can be overturned by courts or revoked by future presidents.
• The role is defined by Article II of the Constitution, which has sparked centuries of debate over how much inherent power the office holds.
What Is Birthright Citizenship?
Birthright citizenship is one of the most foundational—and contested—principles in U.S. law. It means that anyone born on U.S. soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. Here’s a breakdown of how it works and why it matters:
• Legal Basis: Rooted in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868. It states:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens…”
• Key Interpretation: The phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” has been interpreted to exclude only children of foreign diplomats and occupying forces—not undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders.
⚖️ Historical Context
• United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898): The Supreme Court ruled that a child born in San Francisco to Chinese parents—who were not U.S. citizens—was still a U.S. citizen by birth.
• Indian Citizenship Act (1924): Extended birthright citizenship to Native Americans, who had previously been excluded due to tribal sovereignty.
🔥 Current Controversy
• Executive Order 14160: Issued in 2025, it attempts to deny birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. if neither parent is a citizen or lawful permanent resident.
• Legal Challenges: Multiple lawsuits have blocked the order’s implementation. Courts argue it contradicts over a century of constitutional interpretation.
• Potential Impact: If upheld, it could leave hundreds of thousands of U.S.-born children in legal limbo, complicating everything from passports to Social Security.
🌍 Global Comparison
• The U.S. is one of the few countries that still practices unrestricted jus soli (citizenship by birthplace). Many other nations have moved to jus sanguinis (citizenship by bloodline), requiring at least one parent to be a citizen.
That Was Meant For The Babies Of Slaves
Trump’s comment -“That was meant for the babies of slaves” refers to his interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship clause. During a press briefing in June, he launched into a tirade against birthright citizenship and claimed it was originally intended only for the children of enslaved people.
Here’s the historical context behind that claim:

Let’s build this message like a sermon, a syllabus, and a street warning—all in one. You want it to hit like truth wrapped in fire: righteous, rooted, and ready to educate and activate. Here’s a draft that blends your tone, your intellect, and your unapologetic clarity:
“Meant for the babies of slaves”? Nah. That’s not just historical ignorance—it’s a setup. And I see it clear as day.
Let me break this down for the folks in the back and the ones pretending not to hear:
We know what this rage is. You got lied to. Played. Promised a country that never existed. And now that the truth is leaking through the cracks, you’re mad. But don’t bring that fury to us.

Now We Are Free
for Ms. Dolores, September 29
She no longer struggles to remember.
The names, the dates, the rooms that blurred—
they’ve been lifted like dust in morning sun.
Now she walks where memory is not a burden,
but a breeze.
And I—
I am not bound by the forgetting.
My love was never conditional,
never waiting for proof.
It was always here,
steady as Darwin’s gaze,
fierce as her laughter.
Now we are free.
Not from each other—
but into each other.
I would come in the semi-fog,
like dew in the early morning.
And every call, she would ask,
“When are you coming?
You can stay with me.
I’ll tell him to call you.”
She remembered me in the way that mattered—
not by name,
but by welcome.
