“Pour la France, la voie est étroite. Céder à la provocation, c’est prendre le risque de mettre tous les musulmans dans le même panier, dans une ambiance de soupçon généralisé. Bref, c’est faire le jeu des islamistes et tomber dans le piège qu’ils nous tendent délibérément. À l’inverse, ne pas en faire assez en matière de répression et de prévention, ne pas traduire les discours en actes, c’est faire le jeu de l’extrême droite. Distribuer généreusement les caricatures de Charlie Hebdo n’est peut-être pas la meilleure des réponses.” [Ouest France]

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 217 & BENKYO RADIO 217.

I found someone who had a great tweet. She said “I get the expression “Sleepy Joe”, it means, if Joe Biden gets elected, we can all get some sleep.” And you know what, she is right. Because all of us are sick, and tired, and sleep deprived. And we just don’t want to worry about Trump anymore. There are so many other news in the world. The front page of my The Economist mentions those poor Muslims who are getting abused in China. There’s blatant Income Inequality going through America. Thomas PIketty’s documentary “CAPITAL” came and should have gotten more attention, but since everybody is worried about COVID-19, it got lost in the news cycle. I want you to remember that until Election Day, NOTHING IS GUARANTEED. That means even if the polls looks great, and the statistics look awesome, we can not know. The reason being, despite poor management from Trump, there are people out there who do not like non-white people. They are afraid of minorities. The past 4 years shined a spotlight on how bad the White Nationalism crowd problem is. There are among us. They live in our communities. They show up at fucking Chipotle with a AR-15 just to buy Chipotle. Some have infiltrated law enforcement (under investigation by FBI & ATF). All while black people get shot for holding some skittles. I want you to remember that the backbone of America is not a bunch of old rich white men. It’s the millions of Blacks, Immigrants, whether Irish, Jewish, Christians, other religions/spirituality and nowadays Brown or Latinos, and Muslims. America is for EVERYBODY, not just a few. I got my copy of the U.S. Constitution on the bookshelf. I read it, I re-read it, and I read it again. I implore you to read it again. There is no such thing as an undecided voter in this election. Either you want America to work for all of us, and beat this damn COVID-19 virus by voting for Biden, or we all peril with 4 more years of Trump (we wouldn’t even make it past the first year). Scientists are predicting that while we are at 200,000 deaths of Coronavirus, we are getting towards 500,000 deaths by February. These statistics are scary, very scary. Scientists are working tirelessly. Same with Doctors and Nurses around the clock. We cannot re-elect Trump. He still has rallies and he’s not wearing a mask. He’s essentially spreading the virus more and more. The only reason he hasn’t been arrested is because he’s President. If we want a President who is REALLY going to listen to Dr. Fauci and attend his meetings, elect Joe Biden. A woman like Kamala Harris can heal the divide with the Black community. Stop making it hard for minorities to vote. This is unfair. Please watch the latest Diddy video.

Quite frankly, I love my work, even if I am underpaid or the paycheck is $0, but I don’t want to work late nights forever. Amsterdam Dance Event 2020 is streaming online and I’d like to enjoy all its videos. There are a ton of great new video-games coming out, and I can’t enjoy them because I’m being guilt-trip to make sure everything doesn’t fall apart. Everybody deserves some R&R. Everybody. But we cannot rest until Joe Biden becomes our 46th President of these United States.

I’m including a ADE video below about David Guetta because he has many albums that I love. A funny anecdote is that when I was in Ohio many years ago, we heard that David Guetta was going to be in Chicago the day before Thanksgiving. Two friends and I were huge fans and really wanted to go. We drove more than 5 hours there for that concert, and 5 hours back. We arrived just in time for our respective families’ Thanksgiving dinners, unbeknownst to them that we stayed up all night.

I have a surprise. I got some new DJ Turntables. Unfortunately Spotify doesn’t let you stream their catalog to Rekordbox, so I may have to look into Beatport LINK / Soundcloud or TIDAL. BUT I cannot do a streaming party on Twitch with the calamity of Trump winning again. Therefore, I am asking the entire Dance Music Community in America to please make sure you get off the couch to vote. Let’s elect Joe Biden, then we can party. We cannot party if we have 4 more years of Nightmare Trump. You’re frustrated. I’m frustrated. Help me help you. Help me help you. Vote for Joe Biden. I can’t do some research on FL Studio and work on an album when I’m stressing that Trump may win again. Help our community to get rid of this Biff buffoon. Millions of people are depending on us. Vote.

Don’t forget to wear a mask! Practice social-distancing! Wash your hands! Until End of 2021 we must stay strong to fight COVID-19!

Until next time!
