Trade this #$@&%*! 2-8-25

“We are anxious to know that we want to be and insist upon being considered a part of our democracy, not something apart from it.” – Mary McLeod Bethune

I'm not a big fan of Tyler Perry movies, but the movie The Six Triple Eight was really good. Definitely worth the watch, and exactly why, I believe, Black History Month is important.

There are things we probably wouldn't know, as a whole, otherwise. It should be regular history, but our own history isn't our own whole history. Why on earth would black history, unless deemed super important but lesser men, ever be??

That's sounds right in my head, I hope it fits.

Moving on, to limiting ✌️ peaces.

As if the want, for me to be able to share my pockets of peace wasn't at an all time high alreadu, now this stupid fucking trade war threatens my, our(?), livelihood.

I hope, along with a lot of others, that it's a ruse, but re-watching the video of him saying prices would come down on day 1, and now seeing them go up isn't a way to "trade" up. (See what I did there).

More proveable lies throughout out his political career than any other politician in our history?!!!

C'mon.

I've got enough to worry about, with the people I care for that are scared, now snall businesses may not make it thru either? It's a legitimate worry.

During covid those material prices sky rocketed. It took for ever for that market to even back out, with some prices never returning. And that was way different.

We're not there yet, hope we don't get there, but things are starting to line up with . . .

~

Time to focus on . . .football, the Superbowl is tomorrow!! Kansas City for the 3peat?!?!

And Storytime, which I imagine I'll do from the country, and it'll be way earlier in the day, obviously. Lol

With a grandson's birthday this week, which doubles as the week of love, I'm hoping for better days.

Not to mention, my excitement for next weekend, as we get to . . .unwrap one of the gifts for a couple of the grandlittles. It's gonna be awesome- more info next weekend. Lol.

I guess that's it folks. Work on limiting our spread of disinformation by checking several sources, and helping our young and olders with similar processes. Man, I think our young are gonna need to be pretty fluent in ways to check facts as they move forward in their lives, especially with A.I. getting better by the day.

And keep the hope alive. Find reasons to smile, remember all the things and people we have to be grateful for.

And, like always, please be kind.

Oh yeah, And Damn the Man, Eat the Rich, and don't suffer alone the incoming establishment.

The old ones were bad enough. Lol no lol

GO CHIEFS!

Until next week,

2 quotes and help me make them make sense;

"The State is competent to assign duties and draw the line between good and evil only in its immediate sphere. Beyond the limits of things necessary for its well-being, it can only give indirect help to fight the battle of life by promoting the influences which prevail against temptation--religion, education, and the distribution of wealth." - Lord Acton

&

“Peoples have come to experience that political structures and divisions of power are not immutable. Nor will they perceive the distribution of wealth and resources between nations to be unalterably ordained by heaven and incapable of drastic rearrangement by the less than gentle manipulation of man.” - Bob Hawke

P.S. On the brightside, if history teaches us anything, it teaches us that after the horrors of the holocaust, after internment camps, after the great depression, after any huge horrific tradgey from the past, after all the suffering incurred as part of those, some for years and even decades, there will probably be peace and love again one day. Only the latter years will we know for sure.

Ah, a war could reunite us. Don't be surprised if we're pushed into an altercation.

Just look at . . .history! Js
