As much as it is my personal duty to start raving at Armin van Buuren’s celebration of ASOT 1000 in Los Angeles, I alas have a scheduling conflict. I will have to perform my civic duty to vote in the French Presidential Elections during the first and second round. This is because of the rise of Nazism and the Far-Right in France from the various new parties that have emerged, all inspired by Nazi Le Pen and her Nazi Dad Jean-Marie Le Pen. It is now a duty for every French citizen, whether in France, or overseas, to vote in these Presidential Elections. If you do not cast a vote, or worst, vote “blanc”, and Anne Hidalgo & Emmanuel Macron do not make it to the second round of the Presidential Elections, you can hold yourself personally responsible for the fall of the 5eme Republique. Do not make that mistake. Vote. Votez. It is your civic duty. You’ve seen the damage a candidate like Trump did to America. Don’t let it happen to France. Thanks for listening.

I was very proud of France Rugby doing great (FMP! Fumoffu Episode 7). Drank a Pint of Guinness as a token of gratitude. Great job, guys! Vive La France!

As I’m reading and highlighting my new copy of Foreign Affairs magazine, it already feels a bit outdated due to the ruckus in Ukraine. It’s still a very important issue focusing on The Middle East, and highly recommend that you read it. Also, please refer to listening and watching The Economist, BBC News, France 24, and podcasts from VICE News and The Intercept. I haven’t watched CNN in a while, so please watch a few new episodes of Anderson Cooper 360, because he was in tears at how depressing things were in the region. Thank you.

As you may know, the Pyramid of Giza is 481 feet. I’ve always wanted to visit Egypt, and unfortunately, its president is a ruthless man who has imprisoned journalists, including ones from AL-Jazeera. Mahmoud Houssein was released after spending more than four years in detention. This is terrible, because people in Egypt are wonderful, not to mention DJs Aly & Fila are from there. They throw amazing parties and festivals, and would love to see them perform one of these days. Having over 481 songs/tracks on a playlist/mixtape/podcast is a lot, and you have the time to listen, take some time to listen to JL R 083. An ex-coworker kept talking about “Ancient Aliens” TV show, and I think I will finally give it a go. You can also experience an amazing story of Assassin’s Creed Origins, which takes place in Egypt. I look forward to revisit that game once I can allocate some time. I also have tremendous respect for Mohamed Salah, an Egyptian Football player from Egypt who supports the Palestinian People, despite the fact that he is a Liverpool player (as you know, I’m a huge Manchester United supporter).

There’s a Peet’s Coffee Shop in Folsom I would frequent before taking a moment to reflect on U.S. Military who were deployed in Afghanistan. I am glad they returned safely using the “No One Left Behind” motto, despite how messy the pullout was. While the chapter on Afghanistan is nowhere near over, at least we did it, we defeated the “Military-Industrial-Complex.” Also, America has the capacity to destroy ISIS/ISIL around the globe, and we will use our diplomatic tools to force the Taliban to understand they must respect women/girls to have an education by politely referring them to a YouTube video of a Stealth B-2 Bomber. In addition, please continue to support organizations such as Team Rubicon, and the International Rescue Committee (IRC), who are helping with the influx of new Afghan Refugees. Thank you.

I am very proud that in the first Jan. 6 trial, a jury found Capitol riot defendant Guy Reffitt guilty. This is a win for millions of Americans around the country, especially African-Americans and other minorities. If a young black or brown teenager goes to jail over a little bit of weed, it was imperative that white nationalists who had the audacity to blatantly like and say “Blue Lives Matter” yet go to our Capitol and attack police officers, is completely uncalled for. Thank God the FBI is doing the right thing.

Please remember, if this was a Middle-Easterner, he’d be in Guantanamo Bay right now. Because he is white, he is not getting that treatment. Regardless, Assistant U.S. Attorney Risa Berkower described Reffitt as the “tip of the mob’s spear.”

You’ve earned your glass of Whiskey, Mueller, the work continues.

Happy International Women’s Day! Especially to the Women of Palestine who have been ignored for over 73 years. Everybody is calling the horrors of Ukraine very quickly, yet very mute on Palestine. Your racism has been exposed, and no matter how you play it, you will be forever labeled as a hypocrite. Thank you to the Irish Prime Minister for being the only major European politician to really say it like it is. Thank you.

Until Next Time!
