What’s up, everybody! It’s Thursday, April 10th, 2025. It’s a very important day because this weekend, it’s the release of the movie WARFARE. It’s a very special military film, which received many great reviews. I want to watch it, but I am a bit penniless, so I may wait until it’s on digital (Netflix). This is because as previously mentioned, I am without my $500+$300 monthly allowance since November 2024. Now, if you’d like me to watch this movie faster, by all means, send me a movie ticket gift certificate and I will gladly go. Thanks! PS. Bioprinting skin substitutes is a new frontier in medicine, please keep working hard, Researchers/Doctors/Nurses, etc. Thank you!

Let’s pray for a Hail Mary, someone willing to help me deal with all that.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, April 7th, 2025. A lot of commotion on the stock market, not just America, but Europe, Asia, and I’m sure Africa. It’s up to EVERYBODY to have an “intervention” with Donald Trump. He’s literally DESTROYING WORLD MARKETS overnight. His tariffs are destroying 401Ks, which as a result, destroying lives of millions of Americans. During this past weekend, millions of Americans went protesting in the streets against Trump, saying HANDS OFF 2025 (https://www.handsoff2025.com/ ) because the people are sick of Project 2025, which is oh so ever dangerous. We are far away from the Midterm Elections of 2026, but we must prepare now. Not just the Democrats, but also without yelling at our Republican constituents who have finally realized Trump is a total psychopath, worst than regular psychopaths (people who drink coffee without milk). We must all stick together, and look to greatness, which means listen to Senator Sanders, Congresswoman AOC, and everybody at Our Revolution.
