As I eat my Chinese food and nimble on my sunflower seeds, I’d like to know why the fuck did Bolton not testify against Trump, only to give us more months/years of Evil Trump. I’m bringing this up because Former AG William Barr is doing the same fucking thing. He’s written a book saying how Trump was dangerous and a crazy person. Why didn’t he do something while he was AG? It’s time for the FBI to really kick things into high gears. I implore you. We cannot afford to have Trump still as a threat prior to the Midterms 2022 and subsequent Presidential Elections 2024. If someone could give Mueller some spinach so he could go into Popeye strong mode, it’d be much appreciated. I thank you for listening.

Until Next Time!

I was able to catch up on my book club reading list for the month of February, I hope many of you enjoyed the selection. Have fun talking about these books and comic books amongst yourselves, they are very good.

Let’s pray for the people of Ukraine, we need Peace in Ukraine. In a war in that region, everybody loses. It’s not worth it. It is imperative to arrest Donald Trump immediately. He was praising ‘Putin’s murderous invasion of Ukraine’. Arrest Trump. Arrest him now.

Until Next Time!

I received some concerns from fathers about these so-called secret “Rainbow Parties” in Middle-School. I assured these fathers that while I am a nice peaceful Liberal man, one of my favorite anime/manga is Hellsing, and any boy ages 10-14 who ventures into post-PG-rated territories with their daughters, may be turned into steak. Maybe I am just kidding, but maybe I am not.

The Next-Gen Patch 1.5 for Cyberpunk 2077 is out now! The game is absolutely amazing, and I am eager for more fans of the Cyberpunk-genre to enjoy this adventure. I love this game, and I can’t wait for the DLCs.

Happy President’s Day, which honors George Washington’s Birthday! Go enjoy the wonderful story of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed III if you have not already!

The NBA All-Star Games was awesome! And it was in Cleveland! Who knows, maybe someday, in the next couple of years, it will be in Sacramento. Very excited about LeBron who said returning to Cleveland is not out of the question, and Damian Lillard making the 75 Best NBA Players of all time.

Manchester United is returning to the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE competition. I need all of our supporters around the world to put our quarrels and criticism aside. We must win this next match, and every match thereafter. We have a good roster, so let’s win the UCL.

As we enter the last week of Black History Month, I am watching superhero Luke Cage before Marvel shows disappear from Netflix in early March. I am listening to Juice WRLD, a rapper whose life was tragically cut short, and I am reading a book about an African-American Hero in the United States Air Force.

First and foremost, extremely excited about KOF XV which just came out. As you know, fans of the KOF series have been waiting for this release for a very long time. I’m not sure yet if I will get it for PS4 or Steam, it’s a matter of time.

Second, I’d like to thank President Macron for utilizing the right LANGUAGE to convince President Biden and Vladimir Putin to a meeting, assuming there is not an invasion of Ukraine, despite the hoopla and despicable behavior in Belarus. American and European Diplomats are working around the clock to avoid the worst from happening. I thank you so much for doing so. I am there for you both physically, mentally, and in spirit. NATO stands firm. We do not want to see a war in Ukraine.

Last, here is the 2021 Annual Report for the One Voice Movement, an organization that includes both Palestinians and Israelis working on a Two-State-Solution to the conflict in the Middle East.

I was extremely disappointed that the Bengals lost the Superbowl, due to suspicious activity from the Referees in the 4th quarter of the game. They did not throw flags until 4th quarter. Extremely suspicious. They will face fines, and/or jail time for this. They may be suspended next season. There will be a full inquiry, even if it will take time. Just like that one guy didn’t get Hall of Fame in Baseball, the Los Angeles Rams may be stripped of their rings. You just never know. There’s video evidence that the game was rigged. You have enraged the Bengals, who will become even stronger next year. Ochocinco was proud, because he was right, it’s okay to wear Bengal gear in public again. Everybody used to make fun of the Bengals for so many years, but guess what, we were superbowl contenders in 2022, and we probably would have won if the NFL wasn’t corrupted. (LA Rams in the final? In the LA Rams stadium? Superbowl tickets unaffordable for Bengals fans?)

Thankfully, some good news, Trump is probably going to jail.

Until Next Time!

I am extremely thankful to Bernie Sanders (and his mittens) for helping de-escalate the situation in Ukraine. He explained that very well in his speech. I also wrote about this on my Medium account, and it’s the first link in this blogpost.
