He is exploiting his “anti-semitism” statement while he performs NAZI-LIKE-BEHAVIOR against Palestinians. Ethnic cleansing is ILLEGAL, no matter who does it.

It’s been two months since Biden started. He has accomplished a lot. There’s still more to be done. He must continue to tackle COVID-19 crisis so we can focus on Climate Change. 9 years until 2030. We are running out of time.

Until next time!

Much needed important reminder to wear a mask please, and practice social distancing. We are almost in the month of May. Only less than 2 more months until every American has access to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Millions of Americans are getting vaccinated, and if it’s your turn, please do so, I can’t wait to get mine. Please stop being paranoid about a chip in the vaccine. First of all, you spend all day with your phone, which already tracks you. You have gadgets all around your house, which track you. A vaccine just means you won’t end up on a respirator at an ICU at the hospital. People have died. There were mass graves. Take this seriously. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? You need vaccination. It’s important. It’s imperative. It’s what will restore our world back in place. I’m also advocating the U.S. and the rest of the G7 to pass the COVID-19 patent waiver. Third-world nations need the vaccine. Africa, needs the vaccine. The longer you wait on this, the worst it’s going to get. Therefore, get it done. I want the world to focus on Climate Change, and WE ARE PROCRASTINATING BECAUSE OF COVID-19 CRISIS. So please, expedite the help, we are 9 fucking years away from 2030. Antarctica and the North Pole. Rising sea levels. Let’s quickly resolve COVID-19 so we can focus on Climate Change. I thank you.

Also, we must pass Medicare For All! Healthcare is important.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 265 & BENKYO RADIO 265. I’ve also included LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 060

We are in mid-March. We are only 1 1/2 months away from May, and the vaccine will be available to every American. This is huge news. I haven’t been able to hug some family/friends in a very long time, so it means a lot.

I have a message for Afrojack, in 2014, he played “ID - What You Want (Unknown) on JACKED Radio - Week 09 (2014). Do you have a plan to release this track? I really like it. You also made a remix for a Katy Perry song (This Is How We Do) a long time ago, but never officially released it, please do if you can, it was really good. Thanks.

The Grammys are insulting The Weeknd even though he should win “Album of the Year.” This goes back to an old blogpost I wrote, remember, Hollywood and the Music industry does this often. They build an artist, and then they destroy them. They did to Britney Spears, and they’re trying to do it to The Weeknd. Well, it’s bullshit, and The Weeknd explained himself during his Half-Time Show at the Superbowl. Music is about the musicians, not a bunch of “pretty-looking-plastic-surgery” people. This was going to be the first year where a black man would have won major big awards, and they ruined it. I talk a lot about Mental Health because it’s important, and the way the Industry is trying to cancel The Weeknd is unforgivable. I will be listening to The Weeknd today. Check out his latest compilation, “The Highlights.” Don’t lose sleep over quarrels, Abel, it’s a path to self-destruction. I know the feeling. Keep working on your music. Your past albums were good, your new album is 10 times greater. You already destroyed the competition, just imagine what your next album will bring.

If you didn’t believe in DOGECOIN just yet, remember that first Stimulus Check last year for $1,200? If you had immediately invested in Doge, that same check would now be worth $34,000. Isn’t that crazy? It is imperative that you research in the platform. Dogecoin is extremely attractive. Look into it.

I am eager for many of my friends in the Military for an end to the longest war, the one in Afghanistan. Please understand that we are fighting the “Military-Industrial-Complex.” Remember an old blogpost, the reason why other countries do military parades and America is not, it’s very simple. America is not weak. America has weapons that can annihilate pretty much just about anything. But, with these weapons come big responsibility. There is still an ISIS threat, but it is severely diminished. We have a much bigger threat to worry about, and that’s White Nationalism. We can’t keep going to war destroying everything. Please focus on Education. The students of Afghanistan want to get an education, they don’t care about old bearded men with old backward thinking. A woman is allowed to get an education. She is allowed to have a few children. In the year 2021, no woman need to be pregnant over 10 times. This is just ridiculous. And women, in those tough communities only trust other women, and who can blame them? They have been poorly treated. That’s why we need women in the military in high ranks, they can come with innovating ways to fight many battles. There are too many soldiers who are tired. They want to go home. Their families are waiting. Let’s make it happen in May 2021. We must come up with innovating ways for young men to want to get an education, and not join radical groups. That’s why education is always important.

Until next time!

I really want to thank the makers of South Park for their vaccination special because quite frankly, we could all use a little humor. In all seriousness, it is super exciting to hear that President Joe Biden announced that starting May 1st 2021, every American will be allowed to get the vaccine. This is excellent news! Some bands are considering concerts for Fall 2021. Will it happen? It might be a little bit soon, but you never know. The sooner we all get vaccinated, the sooner things can return to normal. As you know, COVID-19 was extremely deadly, it is imperative to continue to wear a mask, practice social-distancing, and wash your hands. People can get upset at Governor Gavin Newsom all they want, but it’s because he did the lockdown and closed many locations, that stopped the pandemic from being worst. And if you don’t believe that, the next time you get some coffee, why don’t you ask the local doctor, nurse, firefighter, policeman, military, etc. They will tell you how packed the hospitals are. They will tell you about the people who are on respirators. You think you’ve experienced fear? I will tell you what fear is. Imagine being in a hospital in a full hasmat suit, and someone tells you that they are out of ICU beds. Now THAT’s fucking scary. So pretty please, stop bitching about wearing a mask. We were far behind because of Trump. We worked hard and got Biden elected. As soon as he started work, he said he’d get something like 100 million Americans vaccinated asap, and he’s doing that. Learn about patience. If we start vaccinating everybody by Summer, that means a return to normal for Fall! Let’s get it done!

Until next time!

I’m getting into Okami lately on PS4. It’s really good, and the art-style is pretty cool.

I think it’s nice to see the Pope and Shiite Mullah getting together in a sign of Peace for Iraq. There is still so much work to be done, and the State Department has written numerous attributes that must be met in order to achieve Peace in Afghanistan.

It’s Women’s History Month! Be sure to thank the women in your lives. This can be a teacher or manager, or mentor/coach, or your spouse/loved one. Don’t forget that throughout the world, women do not have the same rights as men, sometimes even if it involves the same type of work. A female DJ mentioned that she was sad that her peers did not talk much about Women’s History Month. I will do my best to include some female DJs during my next podcast / mixtape.

Still super upset that Cavs weren’t included in the All-Star Game, but glad to see that Damian Lillard is a menace. LeBron James leading his team, I’m already envisioning a future world when he becomes a coach, imagine the type of Basketball we will witness.

Until next time!

#HR1 is so exciting because, for years, the GOP has performed VOTER SUPPRESSION, making it harder for minorities to vote at the polls. Also, the bill lets 16 and 17 year-olds vote at the federal level. This is huge. As you know, there are millions of teenagers who work fast-food, restaurants, or retail. Not only do they not make much money, once they do make money, but they are also encouraged to spend their paycheck back into those institutions. Prime example, if a sneakerhead works at a shoe store, he will receive his or her paycheck, then buy more shoes. Then, his or her companion will be upset that he or she did not invest into their child’s tuition college fund, so on and so forth. Yes, you can flip shoes, but do you really want to be in your 40s flipping shoes? Education is a golden ticket. Remember, a lot of rappers talk about the hood, mention that they love the hood, but then they go live in million-dollar houses far away from the projects. NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE A RAPPER. You need to get your degree. If you want to be a rapper afterward, go for it, but you need a backup plan. Look at the United Nation social media pages. There are billions of people who are desperately wanting to get an education just to better their lives. And you’re gonna sit here and say school isn’t important? C’mon y’all, be realistic. And yes, we need to upgrade the ghetto. I hope that Vice President Kamala Harris works on some legislation to rebuild disenfranchised neighborhoods soon.

It’s been a year since the pandemic has started. I think everybody has had time to pause, reflect and realize what is important. Also, people who were always nonchalant and making excuses that they were “too busy” to hang out, after a year of confinement, when everything reopens, cherish it. Call those old friends and family. Celebrate. The world was almost destroyed. And we still have some people, not just men, but also women, who refuse to apologize. They refuse to admit when they were wrong. You need to be bigger than that. Admit your wrongdoings. You cannot move forward until you do.

Anyway, I read a new article about Mattis, and he’s right. While I don’t plan on running an Iron-Man Triathlon anytime soon, but it’s time to be more physically fit. This freaking pandemic turned us all into couch potatoes.

Lastly, I would like to apologize to JoAnne S. Bass, whom I pissed off recently. I’m sorry but working for free is really terrible, even if it is at the pleasure of the President.

Until next time!

I’d like to once again give a big shout out to my DOGS, who work very hard, grumbling, obeying orders, while billionaires/millionaires make billions/millions which is total bullshit. It’s a fucking pandemic, and people at the top are exploiting it. I want you to invest $50 this week in Dogecoin and let it sit for 5 years. You will not regret it. Bernie Sanders is old, he knows, you know it. He will have to pass the baton eventually. But, for the time being, you need to listen to him. Listen to all his wisdom. We must help the common people. Millions of Americans are suffering. We need that $1,400 stimulus checks asap, then we need a $2,000/check every month retroactively since the pandemic, until the pandemic is over.

Why can’t Biden pass #FreeTuition?

Goddamnit, we helped you win the election. I’m hearing from students that they want $50,000 in tuition costs erased. Make it happen. You can’t tell these kids to get an education then drown in debts. Help them, please.

Dear President Biden, we will listen to you, but you must listen to us too.

We want Medicare For All. Take the fight to these goddamn insurance companies. Thank you in advance.

Please, when the COVID-19 vaccine is available to you, take it, if you want to return to a normal way of life. It’s been too long. We miss hugging our family and friends. Take the vaccination shot. We need normalcy. If the vaccine is available to me in March, I will take it then. It’s if available in April, I will take it then. It’s it’s in May, I will take May. Whenever it is fucking available, I am taking it. If the vaccine is available to you and you do not take it, you are being selfish. Millions of people around the world are impatiently waiting for their vaccination shot.

Wear a mask!

Dogecoin to the Moon!

Until next time!
