Jay-Z Places $1 Million Bet on Thunder to Win NBA Finals in 5 on Fanatics Sportsbook [The SOURCE] I want OKC to win this NBA Finals. That’s because Indiana Pacers somehow someway messed up the Milkwaukee Bucks about 2-3 years in a row. For whatever reason, Damian Lillard had to be on the sidelines. Then, this season, he had a terrible Achilles Tendonitis. I’ve had such injury about a decade ago. I hope he makes a full recovery because my foot has never been the same.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Wednesday, Hump-Day, June 4th, 2025. I hope you have a wonderful middle-of-the-week, there’s a lot going on this week. Given that I have more time to myself, because of pure exhaustion, burnout, and a current divorce battle that is saddening me, I am going through boxes and enjoying reading previous issues of Computer Music and Future Music, something I’ve been dying to do, but Trump won in 2016, and then Trump won in 2024. I just couldn’t let America on a path towards destruction. You’ve seen it, with the FAA freaking out over the Air Traffic Controllers stuck with an archaic system. You’ve seen it, with the stupid DOGE department from Elon Musk, which fired so many staff members, and now the Government is not up to the task. You’ve seen it, when the current SecDef (nowhere near the level of expertise as the previous SecDef) fired 20% of 4-star Generals, and literally the week thereafter, we experience almost total chaos between Pakistan and India. While numerous Organizations face layoffs, it should never affect the 18 Intelligence Agencies. It’s not the “Deep State.” It’s numerous American Citizens, from all walks of life, from all sorts of ethnicities who work very hard, get up in the morning (or in some cases, work by night) and make sure that this country stays safe, on a daily basis. It’s hard work. The Country depends on these men and women. The World depends on these men and women. Do NOT take them lightly. Their work it is of utmost importance, despite the #TrumpTVshow, now in its “2nd Season.” I hate the #TrumpMatrix, you hate the #TrumpMatrix, but until the Midterms 2026, and the Presidential Elections 2028, I suggest you stay vigilant, because those idiots, those #MAGAcult, those QAnon, those #Jan6th Insurrectionists, could strike again at any time, and it’s very scary. That’s why The Democrats need to be working way better in the future. People are eager to become Independent. This is sad. Why is that? This is because when Biden/Kamala were in charge, all branches of the GOVT were Democratic, and a lot of legislations did NOT get passed. It’s frustrating. Do NOT let the Republicans always have the upper hand simply because they “carry all the guns with the NRA.” This is ridiculous. Biden may have not have Obama’s candor, but the past is the past, what’s done is done, and we have to look at the future. Democrats must win in 2026/2028. Thank you for reading/listening.

Until Next Time!
