What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 927 & BENKYO RADIO 927. The walls continue to close onto Trump. The time is near. He will spend the rest of his life in prison. At the end of the day, the United States Air Force cannot let this psychopath gamble with our military, especially during the War in Ukraine. He is a Klansman (MAGA is just their fake politically correct term that they’re using) who must be stopped.

Until Next Time!

  • Organizations are developing net-zero emissions strategies to take tangible climate action. These strategies often require close collaboration with customers, business partners, and suppliers. For many organizations, more than 80% of their overall carbon footprint is from scope 3 emissions, which are indirect emissions resulting from activities such as the procurement of goods and services.

    The global supply chain continues to contribute to a significant part of our social and environmental impacts. At SAP, we are working towards a sustainable supply chain by eliminating single-use plastics, decreasing carbon emissions, enforcing human rights, and closely collaborating with a diverse supplier network – including social enterprises – across our seven procurement categories. As a purpose-driven company, we are always looking for ways to improve through our global procurement organization. Sustainable procurement practices have become one of the key enablers in achieving net-zero targets.

    At SAP, we aim to establish a multi-phased supply chain engagement program by 2024 for our key suppliers to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions along our upstream value chain.

I do NOT want to hear ANY stories about black athletes (men/women) of ANY age suffer from dehydration on the (sport) field. I demand every coach to do whatever is necessary to gather enough water and gatorade/powerade for EVERYBODY. We got 100F (Triple-Digit-Weather) now up until the end of August/September. You all have a responsibility so that nobody from PeeWee league to the NFL does not collapse from heat exhaustion on the field. Thanks very much.

I’m trying LIFEWTR water that LeBron recommend, and as always, I enjoy JUST WATER (Mint flavor) from Will Smith’s son’s company. By the way, the answer is no, I am not being paid to use these two brands. Stay hydrated y’all!

Yes, the United States of America has these weapons (the SR-72 Darkstar), and so does Russia, but to begin a battle utilizing these things would start M.A.D, also known as Mutually Assured Destruction, something nobody on the globe wants.

As always, join the fun and listen to SKYROCK FM RADIO and grab a RedBull if you speak French. It’s so nice to hear Juvenile (the rapper)’s voice on NPR. Gives you goosebumps, and nostalgia from High School. Can’t wait for that music label for a reunion double disc album, kinda of like WU-TANG FOREVER. Maybe they could do a CASH MONEY FOREVER, or HOTBOYZ FOREVER. Something like that. I hope the petition to get B.G. out of prison is going steadly.

Until Next Time!
