When it comes to Hunger….ALL Lives Matter!

This photograph Devastated me when I first saw it and it will continue to haunt me for all for the rest of my Days. It is so difficult for me to internalize the increasing amount of poverty & hunger that the world continues to ravage the planet. The Year 2016 is no different for hunger than it was a 100 years ago. Guess thinning the Herd has not made much of an impact on the situation.  People should be “ashamed”. So much technology, So much wealth..yet So very little SHARING! Seems like People are forgetting that this world belongs to You, Me & the rest of Humanity. Finding solutions to the devastation of World Hunger is a global task and should not be limited to churches, organizations & sympathetic individuals who contribute their time and money for the cause. There needs to be a conscious effort of ALL this World’s co-habitators, NOW!

What is everybody waiting for?

Donald Trump Officially

the Republican Presidential Candidate

After dubbing Mexican immigrants “rapists” during his speech announce his candidacy in June 2015, Trump was fired from the NBC competition show as well as from his duties with the Miss USA pageant. “Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump,” NBC said in a statement at the time. “At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values.” The presidential candidate has also repeatedly blamed the recent terrorist attacks on current president Barack Obama. While discussing the attack in Nice and the coup in Turkey, Trump blamed Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. “We’re seeing unrest in Turkey, a further demonstration of the failures of Obama-Clinton,” he said during a press conference. “You just have to look, every single thing they’ve touched has turned to horrible, horrible death-defying problems.” He also recently blamed America’s first black president for racial tension. “I watched the president and sometimes the words are OK,” Trump told Fox News after Obama condemned the recent “cowardly and reprehensible” attacks on law enforcement. “But you just look at the body language and there’s something going on. Look, there’s something going on.” His wife, Melania Trump, also faced backlash after she appeared to have plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech from the 2008 Democratic convention during her speech at the Republican Convention on Monday night…..©ourtesy of USmagazine

This was in a time when the word transgender didn’t exists, Java was known as “The Prettiest Man on Earth”.

LOVE or HATE, Simple or Complicated…what you think?

“Every Human Being possesses the Power of Choice, God’s Greatest Gift to us All. Yes, God could have kept that gift for himself but instead we have all been given the freedom to enjoy this Powerful gift. So. my Question is? Why are we  constantly wasting time trying to convince others to LOVE each other rather than to HATE. We constantly do this, knowing that No one Person has Power over another persons feelings, emotions, beliefs or thoughts. Does ANY ONE Person truly understand the depth an individuals LOVE or HATE”.

ORLANDO, Florida June 12, 2016: If this BASTARD had a problem seeing Two Men Kissing…then why couldn’t he just have looked the other way instead of conjuring up such an Evil deed. He like so many others that walk this Earth, must be Spawns of Satan. I will NEVER as long as I live say that Demons name out loud or to myself. And. As Respect to those that were slaughtered, I will make it my business to find out each & Everyone of those murdered, First Name & Last Name in order to give Justice, Dignity, Cause & Love for their Precious Loss of Their Life. May Each and Everyone of The Victims, Rest In Peace, Forever and Ever, Amen.

Some Commentary from FB:

Lori Ann Costello I get my crazy pills thru a Canadian pharmacy, and they come from India. Yes, it’s legal. Instead of paying $400 for 30 pills, I pay $159 for 100 pills. Fuck you, big pharma!

Joseph Herb For the record, this is as reported by the Chicago Tribune. Don’t claim that this is due to labor costs, either. This is simply unregulated greed. 

The Village of Harlem, New York City 1970 photographs.

Photos taken:

From a Paris Match issue on Harlem in 1970. Jack Garofalo  photographed the neighborhood in July of that year.

1970 was such a crossroads for fashion too.  The men in the top and bottom photos might be only a decade apart but their clothing seems to belong to two really different eras.

He, She … It?

A growing number of parents, teachers and experts say we should be raising children the ‘gender-neutral’ way. But is it a good idea? And what does it even mean?

Abbie likes Spider-Man. She likes the way he can shoot webs out of his fingers. So last summer, the seven-year-old opted for Spider-Man-themed sandals. “You’re a boy, you’re a boy,” taunted her classmates. Abbie has long brown hair, a penchant for train sets, and a reserve that could be taken for shyness. But when challenged by the boys in her class, Abbie “took matters into her own hands,” as her mother Kim Carnell puts it, offering evidence of her gender by flashing them. The anatomy lesson may have proved her point, but it landed Abbie in trouble with her teachers – and it was only later that Abbie plucked up the courage to tell her mother what had prompted the incident. Abbie refused to wear the sandals again.

On a recent rainy afternoon, my son hurtled around the Imperial War Museum in London, singing loudly. “Typical boy,” a fellow visitor remarked companionably, as I chased him. “Boys need to be outside – they just don’t do museums!”

Iggy Azalea Blasts Azealia Banks for Being a ‘Bigot’ and ‘Bully’

Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea are reigniting their beef. After Azealia put Iggy on blast during her emotional interview with Hot 97, the “Fancy” rapper has fired back.

Azealia trashed her rap rival, who was nominated for four Grammys. “That Iggy Azalea shit is not better than any fu**in’ black girl that’s rapping today,” she told Ebro and Peter Rosenberg. “The Grammys are supposed to be awards for artistic excellence… Iggy Azalea’s not excellent.”

She broke down in tears while discussing the “culture smudging” of America. “When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is, ‘You’re great. You’re amazing. You can do whatever you put your mind to.’ And it says to black kids, ‘You don’t have shit. You don’t own shit, not even the shit you created yourself.’ And it makes me upset.”
