Go away Zach. Don't need a turd in the punchbowl. That felt good.

"We don't have time to talk about the debt. We need to make sure we talk about the deaths," Cruz said.

Yes, we never have time to talk about the debt. What debt?

My heart goes out for PR and hope this can be resolved quickly. Statehood? Nah, we don't want it. F... the mainland. I hear ya.

That said,we need to get them out of this horror show...they are Americans and our brothers and sisters and any of those other genders / sexes I understand so little about.

Yes, Trump shouldn't have spoken so harshly to those multi-millonaires that have made the most of the opportunities that American has given them. He just spoke his mind, and though he may be out of it, he hasn't lost it.

Lil Kim has his people trying to understand Trump. Why the difficulty? Although Donald Trump may not speak in Korean, he is certainly speaking their language. Do not fret. Nobody is going to set off a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific. That would be as much suicide as what the NFL is doing.

As for the suicidal NFL. They are wallowing in the big bucks. Got to hit them in the wallet. Remember the boycott that was so effective in the 60s. Well, bring in the throwback playbook. When they start losing money, they will start to see the light, just like our Communist friends at ESPN. The NFL is going to need to muster a comeback greater than the one the Patriots put together to stun the Falcons in the last Super Bowl.

The Falcons are from Atlanta and Atlanta has had African-American mayors since 1973 or so. Maynard Jackson, Andrew Young, Shirley Franklin, Bill Campbell (felon), and Kasim Reed. They also control the schools and the police department. We won't dwell on the schools.

The Police: racist white officers. The APD is hiring all the time 24/7/365 looking for men and women and those other sexes / genders to "Answer The Call." Can't find em. But from the way people talk, Kasim must be going to all the KKK meetings to recruit his white officers. I am sure this is the case. How else could you get all these racist pigs on the payroll? Must be looking for them. Mayors in other cities, Chicago, Cleveland, ad nauseam. The Klan must be doing better than the Southern Poverty lawyers allow.

And, I do not lay all of the blame on Mr. Reed. He is a master politician. Got him a new police chief, kilt two birds with one stone by promoting a Lesbian to Police Chief. Ms. Shields is competent and smart, a fine Police Officer, and I am hoping she will do a fine job. But, political, Yes sir ree bob.

I posit that if Black America would tighten up on the lawless and make more of an effort to be good citizens, then a lot of this so-called problem would evaporate. But we would have to do this without acting white. Got to be Black. What a paradox.

There is a reason that Blacks feel they are profiled. Gee, what could that be? Could there be a reason other that overt racism? Help me here. I just can't figure this one out on my own.

Now, of course, in Atlanta, there are places where a white person is seldom seen, in black neighborhoods that are black simply because the residents want no contact with the white man. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with that. Odd that integration was so important, but now segregation is alive and doing well. And it is not white instigated. Freedom of association and all that, but...

Our dear friend Professor Gates; what a chump to get arrested for being stupid, and him with a PhD. At this own house. Happens more than you would think, that people go to jail for minor offenses because they acted stupidly. And that other chump, B. Obama; "the police acted stupidly." I remember Barry O. said he was the first post-racial president. My heart leapt for joy and I thought that maybe we were going to be walking down the street arm-in-arm. What a disappointment as Barry just stirred the pot with a big stick and didn't speak softly. And a liar...goodness gracious.

Police are police. They most times try to be nice, but don't mess with a rattlesnake. They have enough to put up with without being baited, and they'll take the hook. You may escape a conviction like Prof. Gates, but you still gonna take that ride. If you pull a gun, you gonna get shot. Seems simple enough to me.

Seems stupid to me that people, black and white, and any other skin tone don't understand this.

Got that offa my chest. That felt good too.
