Oakland County psychic literally means "to see clearly." This refers to seeing with what some refer to as the "inner eye" or "third eye," not the sense of sight. Some people might call this skill a "sixth sense."

De's Birth Certificate

Super interesting find in depths of the internet, DeForest Jackson Kelley's Birth Certificate (Certified Copy). Pictures below the text description:

#25076 Georgia State Board of Heath

Bureau of Vital Statistics Standard Certificate of Birth

Place of Birth: County of Fulton, The City of Atlanta, 104 Ormond Atlanta (cross referenced with the 1920 Census for Clora Kelley, taken 8 January 1920).

De was "known as a house baby. I was born in the house." (from the Midcon England, 1986)

****Full Name of Child: DeForest Jackson Kelley******

This is super interesting. De always told the story of how he didn't know his first name was Jackson until he was drafted and needed his birth certificate. "I had never heard the name Jackson until I went into the service and, all of the sudden, there it was." (from the Midcon England, 1986). But here we can see it's written how we think of the naming conventions today.

Maybe he thought it was written second, first, last and that's just how it was done; maybe the person who filled out the birth certificate got it wrong or was told wrong by his parents (that happened to my mom lol). But I think maybe this is just how things were done in his family. His brother was named Ernest Casey Kelley, and everyone, even the papers, called him Casey. De and Casey probably wouldn't have had any reason to look at their birth certificates until the draft, so maybe they were comparing them and Casey's was written Casey Ernest? In any case, it doesn't seem to have ever been an issue and the government went with Jackson DeForest Kelley on all his papers after being drafted.

yall really taught us blacks a lesson!! things are about to get so much better for palestine. did everyone get their starbucks this morning??

Seriously though I would say forever fq the free Palestine movement but thank to them there’s gonna be no Palestine to free and since there’s no freedom for Palestine there’s no need to say fuck the movement anymore and you can thank these bastards including those from Dearborn County who basically in revenge against Biden and Harris they ended up fucking over Palestine people and potentially causing their genocide and Gaza getting turned into the biggest beachfront resort.

black ppl warned you about this but you didn’t listen so now we’re going to be like this drinking our Starbucks coffee as the Gaza and Palestine suffers .

So when you Palestine ppl , or at least who’s still remaining learn about what happened to your country, remember the biiitches that claim to stand for you who frucked you over for a guy who was planning on getting rid of your arse because they can’t stand to see their country being ran by a OVERTLY QUALIFIED BLACK FEMALE.

An AIPAC-affiliated super PAC, the anodyne-sounding “United Democracy Project”, has spent a historic $14.5 million - up to $17,000 an hour according to the New York Times - in a Democratic primary race for the 16th district, which is still segregated by race and class divisions. AIPAC’s hand-picked candidate George Latimer is a millionaire lovingly known as the “Cher” of Westchester County due to his 35 years spent in state and local government. He represents the more white, suburban, and wealthy counties, whereas Bowman’s base is mostly people of color and the middle class. According to polls, Latimer is poised to beat Bowman. Hillary Clinton has gone all-in for Latimer, even as he refuses to apologize for his numerous racist dog whistles against Bowman, which includes claiming he has an “obvious ethnic benefit” in the race and his “constituents are in Dearborn,” referring to the Michigan city with the largest number of Arab Americans. It’s good to have a super PAC sugar daddy and the former Democratic Presidential candidate in your corner to ensure victory. 

This might be good for AIPAC and hard-right supporters of Israel, but it isn’t good for democracy. Also, it isn’t good for Israel in the long run. If anything, it’s a pyrrhic victory. How long will the majority, and progressives of color, sit back and allow AIPAC to bulldoze their representatives and leaders? You can only sandbag for so long until enough people refuse to bend the knee. Clearly, it all trends in the wrong direction and will further divide a fragile multicultural coalition, which includes Jews and people of color, and is needed to thwart rising right-wing authoritarianism.

To Understand Trump’s Staying Power With the White Working Class, Look at Michigan Supporters remain loyal to former president’s policies, personality

Tuesday February 27, 2024 Wall Street Journal

By Jimmy VielkindFollow and Ariel Zambelich

DEARBORN, Mich.—At its peak, more than 100,000 people streamed in and out of the massive 

Ford Motor factory here along the Rouge River. In addition to cars and trucks, the behemoth plant helped mint the American middle class.

The thousands of people who still work here and at other factories across Michigan and other Midwest states helped forge those states’ politics. These blue-collar voters were for many years reliable Democrats, but in 2016 a big group of them, mostly white, helped Donald Trump capture the presidency—including an unexpected win in Michigan.

His supporters said they remain loyal to him thanks to a mix of economic policy proposals and a unique personality that they haven’t seen from many other Republicans, according to recent interviews conducted by The Wall Street Journal for its “Chasing the Base” podcast series.

His policies? They shined. They shined…I made more money than I ever had. My money went  further.— James Benson

I just love Trump’s enthusiasm and positivity, he’s positive, he’s  enthusiastic…But I like to see an American leader that says we can be great again, we can be number one.— Joe Pizzimenti

The United Auto Workers endorsed President Biden in January, but union officials acknowledge that a sizable portion of their members back Trump. More than 100,000 people in the Detroit metro area work in auto manufacturing alone. It is still home to the headquarters of marquee American auto brands such as Ford, Chrysler and General Motors.

Trump lost Michigan to Biden in 2020. Democrats made up the difference in white-collar suburbs, including Oakland County northwest of Detroit. They made some inroads in blue-collar areas like Macomb County, northeast of Detroit, but Trump still carried the day.

So did former Rep. Andy Levin, a Democrat who won the portion of his district in that county by 36,000 votes. He said Democrats need to be bolder to blunt the GOP. (Levin lost his seat in 2022 due to an intraparty fight following redistricting.)

Republicans were able to peel off people over culture war issues like abortion and guns and LGBTQ rights… They wouldn’t have succeeded if Democrats had—if the average workingclass person could say, well obviously I know what side my bread is buttered on.— Former Rep. Andy Levin

There are other dynamics that will be important in the general election. Biden has dispatched foreign-policy and political advisers to meet with Muslim and Arab-American leaders upset with the administration’s handling of the war in Gaza. The mayor of Dearborn, home to a major Arab-American population, has said the Biden administration “failed to act to protect the lives of innocent men, women and children.”

John Sellek, a Republican political consultant, said a loss of support from Arab-American and younger voters over the Middle East conflict was as important for Trump as his continued hold on the white working-class.

Macomb County is a bastion of the latter group. It is home to strip malls, sports bars and massive auto plants that cropped up as people moved from Detroit to the suburbs in the latter part of the 20th century.

Trump brought many new voices into the Republican Party here, and that has caused a fight about who controls it at the state level. Stacy Van Oast, 59 years old, said at a monthly coffee hour held at the Macomb County GOP office that one result has been dysfunction.

Peter Kiszczyc emigrated from Poland in 1984 and worked for decades at area factories. He said it was great that the former president has broadened the party’s appeal.

He’s changing the party…He’s appealing to many blue-collar workers especially, not only [in] Macomb county, but Michigan So I am Christian, [a] patriot, and I support Donald  Trump 100%.— Peter Kiszczyc

One reason Oakland county psychic is an extraordinary mystic perusing site is that the organization endeavors to make its administrations accessible to everybody at reasonable rates. A portion of the internet based mystic readings you can demand incorporate, yet are not restricted to

I'm from Michigan and when it comes to the big Muslim blocs on the east side of the state, I assure you they're going to vote. Dearborn (and Wayne County at large) was solidly blue in 2022 AND 2020. As Dems they tend to be more socially conservative than the wider party is, but this shouldn't be surprising given they're a lot of 1st and 2nd gen immigrants from Muslim majority countries.

I don't know how popular Tlaib is because I don't have much business in Dearborn, so I have no idea if her antics this past year are reflective of her constituents or not; but voting records are publicly available on the city's website. (As a note, the Squad seems rather out of touch with their bases as a whole, with Ocasio-Cortez recently running damage control, and Omar issuing numerous apologies in the past for her own behavior vis-a-vis Jewish people, but they also have higher Jewish populations in their districts than Tlaib. I could see a stronger Republican showing this year but still not enough to flip it —previous elections have been like 73% Dem votes.)

That makes sense, tbh.

It is understandable that Jewish groups want to avoid confrontations with their opponents out of fear of potential violence and because they believe that their influence is best employed in the corridors of power. But by effectively abandoning the public square to antisemites, the Jewish community has not only encouraged those screaming for violence against Jews, especially Israelis but has also created a dynamic whereby it seems as if there is only one side to the argument about whether a war against a genocidal terrorist group is justified.

Equally important, the lack of public clamor on behalf of Israel and against the pro-Hamas ceasefire advocates has sent the message to the administration that there is only one side in the debate about the war that they should listen to or fear.

This was made abundantly clear early in the Democratic primaries when Biden showed that he was far more interested in appeasing pro-Hamas voters in Dearborn, Mich., than those who advocate for Israel. In the last two months, even after Biden secured the Democratic presidential nomination, he has continued to go out of his way to avoid antagonizing Israel-haters.

Perhaps he’s right to believe that Jewish Democrats dislike former President Donald Trump too much to consider defecting from their party. Or that they are more concerned about abortion than about defending the Jewish state. But at a time when antisemitism—and the demonization of Israel and its supporters—is escalating, perhaps it’s time for even those who intend to vote for Biden to start showing up at his rallies and speak up about the administration’s abandoning Israel. Jewish Democrats need to say that they expect Biden to stand by Israel in its just war, not to threaten it.

If Biden was made to see, as he should, that there are more votes to be lost in the political center from Americans who back Israel and don’t believe the blood libels being thrown at it, then he might understand that there is a greater political price to be paid for kowtowing to antisemites than for keeping faith with the Jewish state.

Beyond that, Jewish groups around the nation also need to understand that their mission must also include efforts to reclaim the streets.

Teaneck shows the way

A great example of a community that understood what was at stake was on display this past week in Teaneck, N.J. A month ago, an Israel real estate fair at a synagogue in that New York suburb was threatened by an antisemitic mob, egged on by Internet lies about the event. But when another pro-Israel event at a synagogue—this time honoring ZAKA volunteers charged with the gruesome task of handling corpses from the Hamas pogroms—was similarly threatened, the Jews didn’t simply depend on law enforcement to protect them. Neither did they, as sometimes happens elsewhere, cancel the event due to justified fears of violence. Instead, they organized a counterprotest that outnumbered those who were bussed into that town to vent their hatred.

The effort reflected a consensus in that community that, in the words of a spokesman for the Rabbinical Council of Bergen County, “these attacks on our synagogues have to end. Full stop.”

This example needs to be emulated everywhere. Synagogues and other Jewish institutions have been targeted by vandals and antisemitic protests from those seeking to eradicate Israel “from the river to the sea,” falsely accusing Israel of “genocide” while ignoring or even denying Hamas crimes. Yet ever fearful of what a confrontation might lead to, Jewish groups don’t turn out to demonstrate that the streets don’t belong to the hatemongers and their allies. And that needs to change.

Beset by doubts about their place in a society that has embraced woke intersectional myths that marginalize Jews and browbeaten into thinking that the cause of Israel is too controversial to be compatible with a comfortable American life, too many leaders have gone silent at a moment of crisis when they need to speak up loudly that they will not be intimidated or taken for granted by politicians like Biden. They need to understand that even though support for Israel can seem a very lonely, unfashionable position, most Americans stand behind the Jewish state.

Jews need to stop cowering and start protesting. If they don’t, they’ll soon see that the antisemites will only grow bolder in their affronts to Jewish sensibilities—and political leaders will continue to believe that they need not fear losing their support.
