I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

In Shigeaki Mori, a Japanese atomic bomb survivor from Hiroshima, President Obama saw the best of humanity, even while reflecting on one of our darkest chapters.

Mori died Sunday at age 88. Today, we honor his example, which President Obama spoke to in 2016 when he visited Hiroshima on the 71st anniversary of America dropping the atomic bomb on that city. Among the more than 140,000 killed in Hiroshima, Mori discovered 30 years later that there were 12 American POWs. He researched the men and wrote to their families, who didn’t yet know how their loved ones had died.

President Obama was the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima, and while there, he reflected on Mori’s work — how it connected people through their shared humanity, regardless of their countless differences: “We’re not bound by genetic code to repeat the mistakes of the past. We can learn. We can choose. We can tell our children a different story –- one that describes a common humanity; one that makes war less likely and cruelty less easily accepted.

We see these stories in the hibakusha –- the woman who forgave a pilot who flew the plane that dropped the atomic bomb, because she recognized that what she really hated was war itself; the man who sought out families of Americans killed here, because he believed their loss was equal to his own.”

In telling the story of the universality of loss, Mori set an example for us all and we are all better for his contributions.

Prince made a surprise appearance during Sheryl Crow's set at the Lilith Fair in Toronto on August 22, 1999. I kept this video longer than most because, well, it's Prince playing.

He was incredible.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry.

She does not get the credit she deserves.

—Sister Rosetta Tharpe (March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973) was an innovative gospel singer widely recognized today as the godmother of rock and roll.

Tharpe is the first known artist not only to use an electric guitar in gospel music but to give the instrument a melodic role as important as the voice’s role.

During her musical bridges, Tharpe would give free reign to her formidable guitar playing talent, unfolding soaring melodic lines puncuated by deep chordal rips and the occasional jump and leg pump; in essence developing musical tropes in the 1930s that would later be adopted by rock and roll legends Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and Johnny Cash.
Tharpe’s innovation was not always well-received, with traditionalists regularly criticizing and devaluing her innovation.

Despite these attempts to derail her career or persuade her to adopt traditional approaches to gospel music, Tharpe remained deeply rooted in her religious beliefs and values and used her unique musical style to bring gospel music to audiences who would never have otherwise listened to it. Tharpe’s contribution to the development of the rock and roll idiom was finally recognized in 2018, when she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the power to declare war, as well as to raise and support armies, provide and maintain a navy, and fund and regulate the military.
Impeach the SOB.

BREAKING: Hunter College Professor Allyson Friedman caught on HOT MIC dropping BLATANTLY RACIST comments about Black students!

While a Black eighth-grade student testified against her school’s potential closure, Friedman was overheard saying:

“They’re too dumb to know they’re in a bad school.”

She continued: “If you train a black person well enough, they’ll know to use the back. You don’t have to tell them anymore.”

Friedman later apologized, stating the views are not her own and she fully supports the students fighting school closures.

The kids on the Zoom call were STUNNED. NYC officials called this abhorrent, blatantly racist, and despicable — especially with children testifying.

Widely regarded by critics and fellow musicians as one of the greatest love songs ever written, “Adore” remains a masterclass in devotion, vulnerability, and timeless romance.
