It's the most significant day in Black American history
December 6,1865 the legal ending of chattel slavery
It was 157 years ago
When they finally let God's people go
In the year 1619 was when it all started
Africans from the Motherland were permanently parted
And when in 1787 the US Constitution came to be
The southern states now wanted the slaves
To be considered more than property
Hence there was a compromise to that plan
Black slaves would be denoted as 3/5 of a man
But in 1810 an alarming trend America would then see
The slave population started growing exponentially
Also there were now many free Blacks as well
Who were educating the slaves and causing all kinds of hell
So in 1830 the white Americans enacted a law
That teaching slaves to read would be no more
But they didn't stop at that they came at the Black preachers too
To stop them from giving knowledge and preaching the gospel truth
The Abolitionist movement in America was then born
This mighty democratic republic then became torn
The Dred Scott Decision to Blacks was a devastating blow
Until Abe Lincoln came into power to now run the show
11 southern states abdicated and the Confederacy came to fruition
A Civil War erupted in defiance of the US Constitution
The Emancipation Proclamation was then handed down
Lincoln said I'm president and this conflict over slavery stops now
And in 1864 the 13th Amendment was drafted and enacted
It ended slavery with a lot of southern dissatisfaction
Abolitionists went to Congress on January 31,1865
To make sure that Amendment in session would not be passed by
Yet it took almost an entire year for enough states to ratify
Then legally & federally slavery in America did die
4 million plus Black Americans were now legally free
Abolition Day a momentous day in Black American history
One last time
The stage is mine
The Media's stunned
That deal now canned.
What were they thinking
With clearly no inkling
I'd throw in a wrench
And create such a stench.
Congress in tatters
The Senate all flutters
Biden in hiding
With me still presiding.
As to those in the country
Needing such bounty
In my own time
I may give them a dime.
Some might well suffer
Just makes them far tougher
Christmas or not
I won't be forgot.
Bottom line folks
And this isn't a hoax
They robbed me this time
But the country's still mine
What's a few years
Watching Biden in tears
I'll show that has-been
By getting back in!
600.
Our Golden Times During PDu30 – Part 2
Behold PDu30 in his 2nd Year of Presidency
The Year of the flaming Fire Rooster
Double Occurrences in our country!
He started the year with religiosity
By declaring January as National Bible Month
During the 4th World Apostolic Congress on Mercy!
In Sports, 2 big events were hosted by our country
The 2017 SEABA Championship & the 2017 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship
As well as the ASEAN Summit in its year of thirty!
Our country also got double wins when it comes to beauty
We championed in Asia's Next Top Model & Ms. Tourism International
This second year of rule of PDu30!
And another “double wins” in other international pageantries
Ms. Earth & Ms. Hispano-America
Where we defeated other countries!
Double-double victory, double-double enmity
The War on Drugs continues, now accompanied by War on Illegal Gambling
Which included the cleansing of our PNP!
Double-double enmity as there was War in Marawi
Which lasted for half a year
Followed by War against NPA of CPP!
As the year blazes with rage over the enemy
Leila was arrested, Sereno had impeachment complaint
The downfall of the liberals continues with gravity!
And another Liberal in the name of Mabilog warned by Du30
Mabilog after Parojinog
Where are you now, Mayor Jeddy?!
Double-double Bans, double-double Road Safety
PDu30 bans Public Smoking & Illegal Firecrackers
Implemented Anti-Distracted Driving & Children on Motorcycle Safety!

*Our Golden Times During PDu30
the cool breeze fondles
the old tattered flag as it
hangs on the flagpole
displaying it's frayed faded
colors of red, white, and blue
fluid in the wind
drawing your ears to the flags
flapping sounds trying
to tell manifold stories
of men and women's valor

The Committee of Five edited Jefferson's draft. Their version survived further edits by the whole Congress intact, and reads:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ——
Happiness; 1776 the common meaning may have been "prosperity, thriving, wellbeing"
JUSTICE REALLY CANNOT DELIVER TRUE JUSTICE UNLESS "JUSTICE"MAKES ITSELF "TRUE jUSTICE",AND THE ONLY WAY "REAL JUSTICE" CAN DO THAT IS BY "TENDERING JUDGEMENT WITH MERCY"!!! NEITHER THE CONGRESS OR THE SENATE IS DOING "JUSTICE"? DID BOTH OF THESE BODIES LOOSE ,OR REALIZE WHAT THE DEFINITION OF "JUSTICE REALLY MEANS? THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS THE ONE WHO LIKES TO BRING ABOUT CONFUSSION. THERE IS A "DUTY" THAT IS REQUIRED IN ORDER FOR "JUSTICE TO BE ACHIEVED"! JUDGEMENT IS NECESSARY,AND MERCY IS REQUIRED SO THAT "JUSTICE CAN SUCCEED AND FULFILL THE NEED TO BE "JUST"!!!!!THOSE WHO PRACTICE LAW,AND GET PAID A GREAT BIG SALARY ARE REQUIRED BY "JUSTICE" TO BE "JUST"AND THE ONLY WAY TO DELIVER JUSTICE IS TO JUDGE,AND TENDER JUDGEMENT WITH MERCY,OTHERWISE THE JUDGEMENT IS NOT "JUST" AND DOES NOT DELIVER "JUSTICE"! THE LAWYER BECOMES "THE CRIMINAL"IF HE OR SHE WILL NOT DELIVER "JUSTICE"! JUSTICE IS JUDGEMENT TENDERED WITH MERCY!!!! THE FACTS LETS US SEE WHAT IS TRUE,AND WE CAN BE JUST AS WE JUDGE BASED ON THE FACTS,AND TENDER OUR "JUDGEMENTS" WITH MERCY,SO THAT "JUSTICE CAN SHINE THROUGH"""'
rules must be made for both sides - Libraic scales mind equilibrium
equal length
pan holders - no unfair weights, no pandering
justice must not take sides
judges should not be stuck in pockets; moneywise
dressed - for success, not their own
scales are not a see-saw, not a slide
papers read the same in each pan
a woman is a woman, a man is a man
both seek truth; liberty is watching
remember well the book on their heads; straight backs
Congress and Senate stay within their own branch
powers are kept separate
sound minds prevail
if a party’s at its precipice, what happens when the weights released?
The USA and Europe
By Franklin Price

Today is Sunday and it's morning
And I'm watching Meet the Press
As usual it is leaning
Toward presenting leftist mess
What prompted me to write this
Was their latest Covid views
How we compare to Europe
And their Corona Virus News
Comparing to the U.S.A.,
E.U. Cases have declined
Although it has more people
I think there's something you may find
The E.U. is not one entity
It's an economic ploy
There are many countries
Independence they enjoy
Each has its own government
For its Covid to report
There is no central reason
To supply a false retort
Is testing on a par with ours?
Is there incentive there to lie?
Is Covid not discovered
Until they're about to die?
Has E.U. made Covid political?
Are they working to get through?
Each country is determining
What's the best thing it should do.
In the U.S. there's incentive
For some monetary gain
When diagnosis for the virus
Might be caused by other pain
May have gone to some center
For other predetermined cause
Then covid diagnosed once there
Should that make us think and pause?
I'm not saying all the cases
Are either wrong or right
But the longer it progresses
There is political delight
The media still slants the news
Reporting on half truths and lies
Saying E.U. cases going down
While ours are on the rise
If we take away incentives
That encourage some to lie
May find that Covid 19
Will make less, in the U.S., die
I'm only just one person
Who's concerned for our dominion
I think there's truth, I've written here
But it's only my opinion
If you think I'm onto something
Or if you know it's true
Pass this along to others
Might be something we can do.
Report it to your congressmen
And Congress Women too
Let them know, you know, what's going on
It's what your country needs of you
"Progress vs Congress"
by: Eric L. Boddie
I was driving along
Only able to hear my own voice
And I got a seat belt ticket
What happened to my freedom of choice
This is the greatest nation
And just for the sake of my rights
More than blood has been shed
And that alone puts me in the fight
But not the way you think
Because I AM, the REAL NUMBER EIGHT
And in this land, I CHOSE HIM FREELY
That is why America is great
He Gave me the right to choose
And America made it a law
But they see Him as money
America's greatest flaw
But what keeps this nation running
Is far more valuable than wealth
It is the secret of America
Each generation will lead itself
No matter the destination
The people will decide
Now, that's not always the case
But we still go along for the ride
Because we Live by the principles
For which so many have died and fought
But is it worth the cost of Life
When elections can be bought
Empowering leaders without direction
Some of which are not fit to follow
America has changed through many years of yesterday
I wonder how it will be in those of tomorrow
A JULY 4TH REFLECTION: 2025
It’s July fourth,
And the POTUS seeks
Elimination
Of immigration
In America,
Although his parents
Immigrated here:
Father coming from
Hilter’s Germany
Which id the womb
Of the fascistic type
Of politics of
The POTUS today,
In his bigoted
Power mongering
Issuing of laws
That are so unjust;
And forcing Congress
To pass likewise laws
To ensure making
This land great again,
In its mockery
Of independence
And justice for all,
In this so-called land
Of democracy,
Built on land severed
From indigenous
Free occupancy;
How strange this must be
Following Juneteenth
And for descendants
Of who this land was:
Hey, it’s July fourth,
Independence day
In America;
Have a blessful day
In celebrating
In divine wisdom
And its clear guidance
In making this land
Again, the land of
The free, with justice
And equality
For all who live here
In God’s onederful
Oneness of onement:-
A problem with fundamentalist short-circuits
is their Left-dominant tendencies
over RightBrain polypathic-polyphonic resonant feelings.
Fundamentalism shrinks Left-RightBrain Both-And
WinWin ecopolitical thinking,
strategizing,
democratizing,
domesticating,
creolizing.
For example,
imagine your nationalistic domestic policies
to pit those who victoriously have
against marginalized and criminalized lepers,
parasites, really,
in your not-so-humble,
vaguely fascist,
opinion,
are not going so well
as you might have Republican conservationally predicted.
You need something
you know everyone, of importance, will champion,
so you point out that transgenderal confusions
are not appropriate to military-industrial's bottom-line
compete unto death
monoculturing focus.
Transgenders must, then, be an unnecessary economic liability
and political loyalty risk
because they aren't decisively anything fundamentally patriotic,
much less appropriately straight patriarchal.
Unfortunately,
for the fundamentalist Either-Or nonthinker,
without richly constant and diverse healthy relationships
with any ecopolitically multicultural depth,
what might sound like a political big win
over little inconsequential losers,
breaks down with actual one-on-one experience.
The anti-transgender agenda
breaks down because too many sergeants
and corporals,
lieutenants leaking counter-factuals
to admiring admirals
and generalist generals
about the long history
of incredibly excellent military-industrialized service
individual transgender personnel
in the thousands
have delivered in the past,
unlike a dysfunctional bicameral Congress
and a sociopathological White House;
whether a swampy, witch-infested dump,
or not.
Transgender co-intelligence
tends to understand
cooperative media economies
and political persuasion.
That's a bicameral nest of honey bees
you don't want to fundamentalistically mess with,
because they will make you look politically stupid
and economically bereft of moral integrity.
It's rather like believing health-assurance climates
of care-receiving
and for mutual healthcare-giving
is just a Democratic women's eco-survival issue
when your own nationalistic patriarchal prostate
is growing in a cancerous viral,
self-imploding,
wu-wei.
