I think it’s really important to listen to what the WHO chief has said: “The World treats crises affecting black, white lives unequally.” While the Ukraine crisis is important, it’s a “fraction” of the attention given elsewhere.

We need not to forget about the on-going crisis in Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, and Palestine. Not to mention many parts of Africa.

If you like my blog and podcasts, please log into Twitter on mobile (iOS and Android) and go to IAMZAKI. There’s a little $ icon where you can send me funds. Please remember that every little bit helps. You may think that sending just $1 or $5 does not matter much, but if a few hundreds of people do it, it would be a gigantic help. I need funds to do some repairs and also save for a Mac Studio (so I can use the Logic Pro DAW). Thanks in advance.

Now, the video below is about the French Presidential Elections. It’s imperative that both ANNE HIDALGO & EMMANUEL MACRON are on the ticket for the 2nd round of the elections. France cannot afford Zemmour and Marine LePen to win, they are racist thugs. Don’t take your right to vote for granted if you are French. You can moan and complain about Macron and a Gauche candidate all you want, but if a White Nationalist (Zemmour/Marine LePen) wins the elections, it would be huge ramifications not just for France, but for all of Europe.

There are still lots of children who are NOT vaccinated, therefore, I implore you to wear a mask if you are not vaccinated. Don’t become the reason why some toddler or small child gets sick because you’re being an asshole. Doctors and Nurses have documented hundreds of cases of children and teenagers with “LONG COVID” which is very scary stuff. In order to avoid that, please get vaccinated, and get boosted. If you are ready for the 2nd booster and eligible, get to it.

I want you to understand that millions of people around the world have died of COVID-19. It’s not a fake disease, it’s real, and people who work in hospitals know it firsthand. These doctors and nurses are especially upset when they hear stories of idiots who don’t want to get vaccinated. Then again, there’s that new Ronny Chieng comedy special, where he says, “you mean to tell me I need to save these Klansmen? Why the fuck would I? Let them not get vaccinated and die” Maybe he has a good point, but we can not in good conscience let people die of COVID-19, because they are too ignorant about the disease. The COVID-19 vaccination pill is almost upon us. If they won’t get the jab, let them take the pill. As long as they get protected from this virus so we can move on. We can’t possibly stay home forever, at some point, we got to get back out there.

Here are some tips about fire prevention week. It’s over 90 degrees in early April. Let’s be vigilant and prevent the beginning of California fire season as long as we can.

Manchester United must secure top 4 spot. It’s possible, it’s do-able, so get it done. If France Rugby could destroy the competition in their sport, it’s time MUFC show us what the Red Devils can do. This is Football. This is Man United.

I recalled how upset I was during the Trump years when people started to become overly racist simply because Trump told them it was okay. I was so upset, I walked in a Barnes & Noble, bought a copy of John Lewis’ March comic book on African American Voting Rights history, and read it in one setting.

It is imperative that Congress pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act as soon as possible.

Episode 500, just like 500 episodes of Naruto Shippuden. There are some misinterpretations about Naruto and Sakura. While it’s true that he crushed on her and loved her very much for many years, once he realized that she cares for Sasuke in a way she will never care for him, he finally moved on. He still comes to Sakura when she needs help, but that’s for the sake of the village. Ultimately, Naruto loves Hinata, as we all saw how upset he got when Pain attacked her and he turned into the Kyuubi. After Naruto’s long journey, including many years alone, after 500 episodes, we see him marrying Hinata. The adventures of this manga/anime realm continue in Boruto. Naruto and Sasuke’s friendship continues, even though they are rivals. It’s important to take into account all the other characters, each with wonderful and interesting character development.

November 2022 is about 6+ months away. I demand POTUS to pass many of Senator Sanders & AOC’s Progressive Policies. So many young people voted democrat expecting you to help them out, and we need to see more. If you want the Democrats to win the Midterms 2022, you need to cancel Student Debt. Please get this done.

To those celebrating Ramadan, enjoy the festivities.

Congrats on the first Amazon Union! Hopefully the first of many!

Since I have been repeatedly discriminated against when looking for work these past couple of years, I have no choice but to begin the paperwork for disability for Bipolar Disorder & EDS Syndrome. I want to work, but if these companies discriminate, there’s nothing else I can do.

The Batman movie was very good, and it will be available on streaming this month on HBO Max.

Some of the latest TV shows I’m watching include “Severance”, “The Problem with Jon Stewart”, and “The Girl from Plainville”. “Peacemaker” is pretty good so far, and I hope to start “The Book of Boba Fett” afterward. I’m re-watching “Stranger Things” because the new season is in late May. There’s also “Halo The Series” which just started.

The situation in Ukraine continues to be aggravated. While I am glad that the United States and Allies are sending Tanks to the region, it’s time to send Jets, please. Thanks in advance.

The House of Representatives approved the legalization of Marijuana. When the US passes this law, it will be a huge win for African-Americans and other minorities, who were victims of Mass Incarceration simply because of weed, while Trump gets away with being a Mob Boss. Trump is surrounded and with the amount of evidence, there’s NO FUCKING WAY he can run in 2024.

Until Next Time!

It took some time, but an incredible thing happened. Canada, Mexico, and the United States have qualified for the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Now, this is important, because the FIFA World Cup 2026 will be staged in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. That’s right, we’re going to have a world cup right here in North America. Do you realize how wild things are going to be? Obviously, I will be rooting for France, but can you imagine that America may win the World Cup in 2026!?! That’s crazy. MLS is getting stronger every year here in America, and the hype is real, in 4 years, America will experience the joy of experiencing the FIFA World Cup. I cannot wait, and the same goes for millions of American Football/Soccer fans.

I’m playing catch-up with all the ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL concerts that our favorite DJs nicely put on YouTube for us millions of fans to enjoy. I just saw Martin Garrix’s DJ set and it was awesome. I look forward to watching the other ones in due time.

Until Next Time!

I’d like to thank Bernie Sanders & the Our Revolution team of elected officials and volunteers for pushing for #MedicareForAll. Thank you all for the incredible work you are doing. It’s bewildering that we are still in a pandemic where millions of people have died, and we still have a system where Hospitals run a “for-profit” business. It’s embarrassing on a worldwide scale.

Until Next Time!
