China Fully Reopens to Visitors For the First Time Since the Pandemic.

Shedding The Stigma.

After three years of pandemic-era border restrictions, China has fully reopened its doors to foreigners, including leisure tourists.
The announcement came via a Chinese-language statement posted on the website of China’s Embassy in the U.S. The report, posted on March 14, explained that the country would resume issuing all categories of visas for foreigners starting the very next day.

This return to open borders comes after Chinese government officials declared a “major and decisive victory” in the battle against COVID-19. The declaration refers to the country’s handling of a nationwide coronavirus outbreak after China abruptly ended its” zero-Covid” policy.
As the country’s first and hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, China is now among the last significant nations to fully reopen to visitors.

Travelers with multi-year visas issued before March 28, 2020, are allowed to use these visas as long as it does not expire them. Visa-free entry has also begun for foreigners traveling to and from select regions.

A Modern Marvel And A Wonder Of The World: The Great Wall of China.

China did away with its quarantine mandate for international travelers in January—a move that was met with a positive response from citizens and would-be visitors. Although they have reopened the country for tourism, travelers must take a COVID test 48 hours before departure and fill in their results in a customs health declaration form.

Despite this promising development designed to boost tourism and the Chinese economy, the U.S. State Department still encourages American citizens to exercise caution when traveling to China, including Hong Kong and Macao, due to “arbitrary enforcement of local laws.”

In 2019, China registered 97.7 million cross-border trips made by foreigners. Time will tell if the latest easing of restrictions will help the nation return to its pre-pandemic tourism numbers.

Palm Beach Atlantic University Christian School Fired Contracted Professor For Teaching Racial Justice “Woke” Class? What Would Jesus Do?

0

Palm Beach, Florida

OPINION

Medieval Crusaders.

Rejoice In The Lord That Cares Always Only For White Christians: Away With Black People, Muslims And Buddhists. How Many Gods? 

Every religion always has a faction of hijackers that deviate from the precepts and principles of the founding “fathers'” of the religion. These deviants corralling and corruption of the concepts of the original religion frequently lead to a version of it that contributes to extreme cruelty that leads to murder and mayhem. The Osama Bin Laden 911th hijackers and Pan Am Flight 103 bombers are examples — as do modern-day Crusaders masquerading as followers of the Jesus. They are nothing more than shekel-grabbers.

On Wednesday, March 15, the president of Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBAU), Dr. Debra A. Schwinn, fired Professor Sam Joeckel. Professor Joeckel, who taught at PBAU for over 21 years, claims PBAU refused to renew his contract because of Florida Gov Ron DeSantis’ anti-woke crusade.

The University said it ended Professor Joeckel’s contract because a parent of a loggerhead student complained that Sam Joeckel ENC 1123 course syllabus included a section on racial justice. Palm Beach Atlantic University Christian school has taken a stand against racial justice. It claims that tutoring about racial injustice was indoctrination — a term Ron DeSantis often used to denounce the cry of African Americans for equity, parity, or fair treatment.

Sam Joeckel says he taught the ENC 1123 course for 12 years — at Palm Beach Atlantic University. In late February, the Dean advised Joeckel that his class course and contract were under review. PBAU’s motto is: Enlightening Minds, Enriching Souls, Extending Hands. On March 15, they extended a foot in Joeckel’s ass, then gave him the perp walk off campus. He’s not allowed to step foot on the premises, again. They fired Professor Joeckel for attempting to enlighten some that live in the dark — and teach racial justice.

A DeSantis follower and coterie, State Rep Alex Andrade R-Pensacola said “I believe state universities should focus on teaching students how to think, not what to think.” Below is Professor Joeckel’s controversial class syllabus. 

The Research Essay will be 8-10 pages (approximately 2,500 words) in length. The Students must write their Research Essay on one of the four units in the class: comedy and humor, Racial Justice, gothic and horror, or gender equality. Students will receive more specific instructions later in the semester. Students will have different due dates for this assignment. 

In 1968 when Black People were marching and demanding equality (the year they assassinated Martin Luther King, Jr.) Dr. Jess C Moody founded PBAU as a separate white Christian school. The Blacks Are Coming! 

Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBAU) is a little Florida Liberal Arts university with a rank of 365 — in a good year — out of 443 universities. PBAU primarily ranks between 331-440 out of 443 universities. PBAU ranks way below DeVry and Phoenix universities, considered Ivy League speaking comparatively.

Below is a snapshot to bring things into perspective of the national university rankings.

PBAU President Dr. Debra A. Schwinn The First Female to Lead The Seminary — Created A Confederacy To Fire Joeckel For His Suggestions.

Professor Sam Joeckel Fired By Dr. Debra Schwinn For Suggesting As an Option Students Write About Racial Justice: Optional.

Professor Sam Joeckel’s Class Syllabus (below) addressed several social issues, yet one narrow-minded bigot and its parent found an issue with only the part that reads, “Racial Justice.” One can only hope that son of a bitch doesn’t become a Human Resources manager in a company of worth.

“DeSantis proposing changes in diversity and equity programs at Florida’s Universities.”

PBAU’s president Dr. Debra Schwinn is an educated scientist, but somehow, she’s fallen under a spell and brainwashing of Florida’s quarrelsome governor’s anti-African American religion. DeSantis coteries and his Junta in Tallassee have been on a mission to turn private and public schools into white satellites of his Jim Jones personality.

Whether It’s Jim Jones, Ron DeSantis, or David Koresh — “It seems like nothin’ ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge.” Bobbie Gentry.
Major news media outlets have reported that “Gov. Ron DeSantis has been pushing for an overhaul of Florida’s state colleges and universities, calling diversity programs divisive and discriminatory.” The school named a right-wing section of the college the DeSantis Family Chapel. 

In a published interview, Patrick Moody the son of Jess C. Moody said of his father, “He loved us like Jesus loves us.”
“He also said his father told him, God didn’t call us to see through each other. God called us to see each other through.” Did Ms. Schwinn deviate from that principle for a Few Dollars More, or is her heart a palace of hate? PBAU has become a front for right-wing ideology and Ron DeSantis’ lily white politics.

Maegan (The Stallion) Hall: Was She The Jockey or The Ass That All The Jockeys At La Vergne PD Rode?

0
OPINION

MEDIA CORP USA

Below is the Introduction to Ms. Hall lawsuit.

  1. “Maegan Hall was a vulnerable and optimistic 24-year-old woman who had applied to be a police officer in the City of La Vergne. Where Ms. Hall sought role models at her new job, she instead found predators.”

Perhaps, the defendants’ attorneys will say on behalf of his clients:

I guess I must be dumb‘Cause you had a pocket full of horsesTrojan and some of them usedBut it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all rightAnd you say, “What have I got to lose?” Your job.

Hot Thot.

Officer Maegan Hall Used The Power Of The P Against The D @ La Vergne PD — PD Has A New Meaning.

White female ex-cop sues LaVergne Police Department and her Black coworkers for having sex with her. Twenty-five-year-old former LaVergne police officer Meagan Olivia Hall gave at least 1/10 of the police officers in her department a ride in her red Corvette. She was pretty fast.

On Monday, February 27, Ms. Hall and her attorneys filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of Lavergne, Tennessee. Hall also named in her lawsuit three fired coworkers: former Police Sgt Lewis Powell, former Sgt. Henry “Ty” Mc Gowan, and former police chief Burrel “Chip” Davis. All three named above are Black men. 

In her complaint, Ms. Hall and her attorneys did not name the White officers she took for a ride in her Red Corvette at the police officers’ ball, all over town across the globe and back at the gym. Who was zooming who? Was Ms. Hall the predator or the prey? 

In her lawsuit, Becky and her attorneys did not name White officer Juan Lugo, Detective Seneca Shields, Officers Larry Holliday, Patrick Magliocco, and Gavin Schoeberl. Opon the revelation of the Ho Show, the City of La Vergne fired Maegan Hall and five other officers for taking her fellow cops for joyrides while on city property.

Officers Larry Holliday, Patrick Magliocco, and Gavin Schoeber received leniency and served suspension. Ms. Hall and her attorneys pulled an aged-old trick: whenever a married white woman gets caught banging a Black dude she cries rape.

Ms. Maegan Hall And Her Husband Jedidiah: Honey, I Banged The Negroes!

Ms. Hall’s Lawsuit Further states:

“Instead of offering professional development, her supervisors and the Chief of Police groomed her for sexual exploitation. They colluded in using their authority to systematically disarm her resistance and entrap her in degrading and abusive sexual relationships, even sharing tips on the best ways to manipulate and exploit her. Maegan Hall felt trapped in the role assigned to her at the City of La Vergne Police Department, and to escape; she nearly killed herself. Then, the City blamed her for everything.”

To go after only the Black officers in the complaint show, they are covertly using the (Mann Act) White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910, which goes after Black men for having sex with White women, including consensual activity. In 1913 they used the Mann Act law to imprison the first Black Heavyweight Champion — Jack Johnson. Johnson’s parents were formerly enslaved people, so when he became famous, he developed a taste for what the masters ate in the big house. 

Ms. Hall complaint describes how: whenever she tried to break off her relationship with “predator” officer Sgt Lewis Powell, he would cry and threatened to commit suicide. So the ended up in bed with scum-sucker Powell, again. She should have let the punk Powell commit suicide. 

The fact is, female officers giving up the drawers to male officers is common. Because the woman cop depends on the male officers for protection in dangerous encounters.

“I guess I should have known by the way she parked her car sideways that it wouldn’t last.” I felt a little ill when I saw the pictures of all the jockeys that were there before me. Little Red Corvette, Honey you got to slow down. Baby, you’re much too fast.” –Prince.

Scott Adams, Creator of Dilbert Cartoon Labels All Black America A Hate Group — Projection?

0

OPINION

MEDIA CORP USA

Dilbert Canceled.

“I’m probably the only White man in America today with free speech. I can say whatever I want and can’t get further canceled.” [Scott Dildo Head Adams.]

Until his latest controversial hate speech and wild tirade toward Black People, I have never heard of Scott (Cucumber Head) Adams. According to Adams, “Black America is a ‘hate group,’ and I don’t want to have anything to do with them. “Adams advised White Americans to “get the hell away from black people.” The intelligent thing to do is for Adams to lead by example and “get the hell away from Black people.” But wait, Adams has already gotten the hell away from Black people. Does he live in an all-white neighborhood? The cartoonist’s getting the hell away from Black America comment was his reaction to a poll conducted by a right-wing troll company called Rasmussen. 

Skewed Polls Lead Warped Minds To Faulty Conclusions.

The Rasmussen poll/trolls allegedly (surveyed) asked some Black people, “Is it OK to be White”?” According to Rasmussen Trolls, only 53% of Black people agreed it was OK to be White.

According to the troll company, aka Rasmussen, they alleged the same survey shows 26% and 21% of Black people said it’s not OK to be White or they’re not sure, respectively. The poll reflects the opinion of 1000 registered voters. So Scott Dilbert’s warped mind combined the 26% and 21% of nays and not sure respondents to reach his skewed results. Adams concludes that 47% of Black people thought it was not OK to be White. Then he labeled 100% of Black people a hate group. This sense of everybody must love Raymond is how angry White men with a sick mentality as Adams cause them to plan genocide for Black people.

The Rasmussen Troll company did not take the time to survey some White Americans and ask, “is it OK to be Black?” Now that would be the question to ask. Since Black people in America do not have the authority to establish oppressive systems, nor do they possess the power to make policies/laws to suppress or oppress White people. Only a bunch of imbeciles would say it’s not OK to be “White.” That is the equivalent of saying it is not OK to be “Black, Red, or Yellow.” Pose the question to Black people: Is it OK to be Black? Perhaps Eighty percent of Black people would say no, it’s not OK to be Black because they are afraid of being Black or being profiled unjustly.

And they are so scared of being judged more harshly than their other counterparts for similar infractions, fearful of being redlined by banks, lenders, Real Estate agents, venture capitalists, etc. So Scott Adams once said he identified as being Black, now wants to crucify 100% of Black people because 1/4 of them allegedly (in a suspect poll launched by a fishy troll company) said it was not OK to be White. Scott Adams, you have a right to your thoughts and opinions and a right to identify as Black — my opinion? Scott Adams be quite — you do not know what it entails to be Black. Being “White” and pretending to be Black is not the same as being Black.

Recently British actor Idris Elba said he does not want to be considered a Black actor. Well, the next time Elba walks into a financial banking institution or a Hollywood executive office — tell them you are a white guy.

Here’s Is The Rasmussen Troll’s Poll That Send Dilbert Head Into A Rabid Frenzy Attacking Black America.

I don’t believe they should have canceled Scott Adams. We should place such cancer like Scott Adams in the in the sunlight so they can cure it.

I don’t believe Scott Adams speak for 100% of White America, although without Adams pleading with them to get the hell away from Black people, most Whites already have gotten the hell away from Black people. America is already a divided society based on race and neighborhood dwellings. And no, race is not a social construct — regardless of the hopes of W.E.B. Dubois.

Alex Murdaugh: An Admitted Liar, Admitted Thief, Admitted Lawyer — Family Saint. Guilty of Murder.

0

Legacy Undone.

South Carolina Murdaugh Family Eighty-Seven Years of continuous Solicitors.

They were a four-generational family of South Carolina lawyers: the Murdaughs of Hampton, South Carolina. Wherever they went, mayhem and death followed — starting with the civil war of the 1860s. For the Murdaugh clan, corruption and murder were just par for the course. They ride the Pale Horse of an Apocalypse. In 1920, Randolph Murdaugh Sr. (the Great grandfather of Alex Murdaugh), the first in a succession of attorneys, became solicitor/chief prosecutor of the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office in South Carolina.

Randolph Murdaugh, Sr. held that five-county post as solicitor/prosecutor until 1940, when he crashed his car into a train and died. He was 53 years old. When Murdaugh Sr. graduated from law school in 1910, his father (Josiah Putnam Murdaugh), a confederate soldier that fought to keep in bondage the 23 Africans his family enslaved to enjoy the fruits of their free labor — Josiah P. Murdaugh, was still alive. In 1920, Randolph Sr. ran unopposed for solicitor/prosecutor for a swath of five South Carolina counties. The Democrat Convention endorsed and praised him.
“A vote for Randolph will not only be a vote for the winner, but it will assure you of having a fearless, faithful, and competent solicitor.”

On June 7th, 2021 Alex Murdaugh Murdered His 22-Year-Old Son Paul And His Wife Margaret.

The South Carolina Murdaughs is a privileged dynasty that believes in wantonly killing Black people to sustain wealth and murdering their family members to stay in power — as they killed Randolph Murdaugh Sr. 1940, the leading patriarch of their family dynasty, in 1940.


“his son, Randolph “Buster” Murdaugh Jr., who served from 1940 to 1986, succeeded Murdaugh Sr.” After Murdaugh Jr. died, his son Randolph Murdaugh III took his place as a solicitor of the 14th Circuit to carry on the family dynasty. Murdaugh Sr., father Josiah P., entered the Confederacy as a private soldier and left as a private soldier. Confederate soldier Josiah P. Murdaugh died in 1912. In 2006 Randolph Murdaugh III retired as a solicitor. On June 10th, Murdaugh III died three days after his entitled son Alex Murdaugh killed his wife Margaret and son Paul. Richard Alexander, aka Alex Murdaugh, solicited (pun intended) his brother Randolph Murdaugh IV to testify on his brother’s behalf during his murder trial.

What’s Going On In South Carolina? Even The Black Judge Look Like A Member of The Murdaugh Family.

Randolph “Buster,” Murdaugh, Jr., they say, was known for his courtroom prowess and his flair for acting out murders before spellbound juries.” In February 2023, his grandson, Alex Murdaugh, tried to wow a jury by putting on a “C” actor’s show on the witness stand before a jury but only convinced them of his guilt in the murder of his wife, 52-year-old Margaret (Maggie) and his 22-year-old son Paul.


When Alex Murdaugh killed their son, Paul, Paul was facing charges — of the murder of which he pled not guilty — for a 2019 boating incident. They charged him with boating under the influence and causing the death of 19-year-old Mallory Beach. Prosecutors dropped the charges after his father killed him. Fifty-four-year-old Alex Murdaugh almost single-handedly brought a 100-year family confederacy to an end.

Damn Nera Everybody In The Courtroom Look Related To Each Other. C’mon South Carolina.

To Remove All Reasonable Doubt.

Nearing the end of the trial, after an arrogant Alex Murdaugh forced his attorney Jim Griffin to put him on the witness stand, it was clear the case would end in a guilty verdict. During the closing argument, his defense attorney Jim Griffin nonchalantly told the jury, “He lied. Why? That’s what Alex does.” The Murdaugh family kept a stranglehold on the 14th Circuit prosecutor’s office in South Carolina for eighty-seven years. It is unclear how much justice Black people received under a family that, in 1865, lost 23 “slaves” they fought to keep in bondage.

After three hours of deliberations, a jury of his non-peers found Richard “Alex” Murdaugh guilty of Murdering his wife and son. The Judge sentenced him to life in prison. In 2022, they suspended Alex’s oldest son Richard Alex Murdaugh, Jr, from law school — the fifth generation of South Carolinians Murdaugh lawyers.

After a six-week trial in one of South Carolina’s most riveting who-done-it murder mysteries, the jurors were sent to visit the murder scene, an Antebellum-styled mansion called the Moselle.
The only thing missing from the South Carolina Plantation style Mansion were the chickens running around, folks picking cotton in the field, and a Mammie bringing the accused killer pancakes, eggs, and coffee.

Chicago Sends Lori Lightfoot Packing—the First Black Female Mayor Of Chicago Primaried By Eight Democrats.

Big Dick Mayor.

Chicagoans Reject Big Pharma COVID Propagandists Lori Lightfoot.

On Tuesday, the first Black woman to serve as Mayor of Chicago (Lori Lightfoot) lost her bid for re-election in a primary contest. She is the first Chicago Mayor in forty years to lose a request for a second term as Mayor of the Windy City. In 1983, Jane Byrne, the city’s first female Mayor, lost her primary in a bid for a second term.

Lori Lightfoot became known as the Mayor with a giant dick in Chicago. According to a March 2022 article by the Chicago Tribune, during a meeting with former Chicago Park District deputy general counsel George Smyrniotis, she bragged about her dick size.

Smyrniotis and a group of Italians wanted to display a giant statue of Christopher Columbus on a Float of a city parade. During negotiations, Mayor Lightfoot and Smyrniotis argued about the specifics of the crusader’s sculpture. The Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans punished Lightfoot after she removed from parks statues of the Italian crusader.

Paul Vallas (D) Primaried Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) In Chicago Mayoral Race.

In Tuesday’s election Lightfoot gained 16.89% of the vote. A total of 80% of the vote was distributed between the three top candidates, with Paul Vallas, former Chicago Public Schools CEO taking in 34% to his closest challenger Cook County Commissioner and Chicago Teachers Union organizer Brandon Johnson, taking in about 21% of the vote. Brandon will faceoff with Vallas in the general election on April 4th, 2023. Brandon is an extreme Progressive, while Vallas ran on the usual White fright fear and law and order platform. With, only 29.2 percent of Chicagoans are Black, they set Paul Vallas to become the next Mayor of Chicago. 

Nikki Haley Attacks Black America In Bid For Vice Presidential Office — Proposed Nazi-Style Generic Testing.

Psycho.

“I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me. I Wonder Who’s Watching Me Now? Who? The IRS?”

Former Gov. of South Carolina Nikki Haley has thrown her hat in the 3-ring circus known as the race for the Republican Presidential nomination. Let the sideshow begin. Just as most white Republicans seeking power and the approval of White Supremacists, bigots, and Nazis in America, Nikki Haley gripped her balls and jumped on the backs of Black people. Riding on the backs of the democratic donkey to victory should be easy. Martin Luther King, Jr. said a man or White supremacists could not ride your back unless it is bent. Haley is just another two-bit loser standing in the shadow of former President Donald Trump. The base of her political platform is “fighting the woke mob.” Where have I heard that statement before?

After Donald Trump launched his 2016 Presidential bid attacking Mexicans as drug dealers and rapists, most Republicans developed this false sense that the path to the White House is to assail and attack “minority” groups to appeal to the basest instincts of rightwing-loon leaning Americans. People like bottom-feeder Florida Gov. Ronald DeSantis, Trump’s protégé who has launched an unannounced stealth campaign on the backs of Black America, the LGBTQ communities, education, and books.

Mrs. Haley is akin to politicians like bottom-feeder Florida Gov. Ronald DeSantis Trump’s protégé who has made attacking Black America his life’s mission. DeSantis has launched an unannounced stealth campaign on the backs of Black America, the LGBTQ communities, education, and books. On Monday, he visited Staten Island to test his message on a national audience. Staten Island isn’t nationwide; it is a dark section of America. This bastion of white supremacists is the home of ex-cop Daniel Pantaleo. Pantaleo choked Eric Garner to death, so he could brag that he took down a huge and more robust Black man than his miniature ass.

Look Into Those Skid row Eyes. Sometimes We Don’t Want To See What We See, But We Can’t Unsee What We See. 

We can often look into the eyes or face of someone, and if we are paying close attention, we can see the very definition of crazy as defined by the DSM. Nikki Haley’s face and eyes show clear distinctions of a psychotic person. And her manifested thoughts aren’t separated from her future intended actions. In 1939, If the world leaders (Neville Chamberlain, Herbert Hoover, Benito Mussolini, himself a despot) who met with Hitler had taken the time to look closely and deeply into his eyes and face, they would see that they had a murder super-predator and potential super mass murderer on their hands.

In 1925/1926, Hitler published his thoughts (about his personal struggle Mien Kampf) and future intended actions toward the Jews. No one took him seriously. Today Nikki Haley and others of her mindset are openly posting their thoughts and criminal intent on social media and public broadcasts news networks. Maya Angelou once said, “When a scum-sucker like Nikki Haley tells you who she is, believe her.”

Haley proposed a mental competency test for Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump because of their age. Most Americans will agree that Joe Biden is unfit to lead the country. But in 2020, most voters have spoken and chose Biden to lead the nation. Polls show that more than half of those who voted for Biden have buyer’s remorse. To remove him from office, they need to invoke the 25th amendment or wait for 2024 to vote him out.

Many politicians are older than former South Carolina Gov. Sickly Haley, yet they run rings around her in a mental competency test. Take 81-year-old Bernie Sanders, for example, and 84-year-old Maxine Waters and 82-year-old Nancy Policy, stacked up mentally against Ms. Sickly Haley’s; mental capacity is that of an eight-year-old kid. On the one hand, she’s using Trump’s playbook while denouncing him on the other hand. Trump would like to send DeSantis and Haley a message. As Rapper Lil’ Kim would say, “Get your (own) shit bitch. Why are you riding mine?”

Haley is running for Vice President, yet she doesn’t know that

Federal laws prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). She should apply for Dog Catcher. Poor little brown girl.

Sen Mitch McConnell was correct; there are few quality candidates. The Republican Presidential pool of selection is atrocious. It’s not a pool. It is a sewer at the bottom of a gutter. Even the worst of the last batch (Jeb Bush) in 2016 that Trump managed to obliterate would do better than the best of what we currently have on the list and potential roster. 

Broward County Hires Its First Female General Manager And Director of Transportation/Transit: Coree Cuff Lonergan.

The First Female Is The First.

BCT Patrons Lined Up To Board One Of BCTs Fast Growing Express Service Buses.

Exactly one year (February 25, 2022) after Broward County Director of Transportation and of Broward County Transit (BCT) Chris Walton retired from his post, the County hired Coree Cuff Lonergan for the top job at Transportation. Cuff Lonergan will be the first female to hold the general manager and director of Transportation for Broward County (BCT) post.

Last year when Walton retired, he left some big shoes to fill over his 22-year tenure at BCT. Ms. Lonergan comes to Broward County with a wealth of transportation experience. Cuff-Lonergan comes to Broward County from Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, where she served as (acting) executive vice president Capital Delivery and Rail Operations Control Center.

Coree Cuff-Lonergan Played A Vital Role At CSXT

Although Coree Cuff Lonergan will be the first female to head Broward County’s 50-year-old transit agency, this won’t be the first time she’s a first African American woman in a top post in the Transportation industry. The Civil Engineer: Ms. Cuff-Lonergan is an educator and former Duvall County business owner. She has 25 years of Transportation experience and was the first African American woman to serve as Chief Engineer at CSX (Transportation) freight railroad company.

Broward County Transit is the second-largest transit agency in Florida and the 16th-largest nationwide. As the County moves forward into the future with technological advances and light rail to better serve the public and reduce carbon emissions, the new director may prove a vital addition to the system. Broward County has set the foundation for Ms. Cuff Lonergan to land well at BCT. Her immediate support staff will lighten her load and make her transition into the top post less challenging. During the one-year absence of former Director Chris Walton, some of the nation’s leading transportation leaders in their own right managed BCT.

After a national search for a replacement, the County decided on Cuff Lonergan, “I am delighted to have found such a talented and experienced professional in the transportation industry,” Broward County Administrator Monica Cepero said. “I am confident that Ms. Lonergan will bring BCT to new heights and enhanced service levels, particularly considering our transformational transit-related initiatives on Broward’s horizon.”

Trump Protégé: Ron DeSantis, Clueless, Dusty, Lost In The Sauce, Pointless — Got Lost On His way to The White House.

One-Trick Pony DeSantis.

For the past eight years, Florida Gov Ronald DeSantis has been standing in the shadow of former President Donald Trump, like a seven-year-old boy hiding behind his dad’s towering shadow — from the howling winds of life. As most seven-year-old boys do, they mimic their fathers. When dad works on his car in the garage, he pretends to fix his little toy car next to his dad. When he mows the lawn, the child gets his toy lawn mower and cuts the grass behind him. In the child’s mind, he feels he’s fixed the car and mowed the lawn. That is Ron DeSantis. A Little Boy Blue, lost in the sauce.

In 2022 Hurricane Ian made landfall in Cayo Costa, Florida, DeSantis went there to survey the damage the category 4 storm left behind. As he looked around — like a headless chicken — for a few television cameras to squeak in their microphone, it was clear he was out of his depth. This was not the place for him to make anti-gay comments or attack the “Woke Mob,” he had nothing of consequence to say — again, the seriousness of the moment evaded Little Boy Blue. He left his brain in a stack of hay in Tallahassee. Faced with a major disaster, the one-trick pony was clueless. 

By 14, the boy has seen, experienced, and learned some things. In his mind, he’s grown and has become wiser than his father. It is time to challenge dad in his house — using the playbook he wrote. An old phrase says, “when I was fourteen, my dad was stupid. When I turned twenty-one, it amazed me at how much knowledge my dad had gained in seven years.” 

Staten Island Killer Cop Daniel Pantaleo Choked A Man To Death For Selling Loose Cigarettes. 

Governor Little Boy Blue DeSantis of Florida, a most dependent variable groomed by Trump, made attacking Black people the independent variable he’s trying to use as a vehicle for the White House. DeSantis traveled to Staten Island, New York City, to meet with fired Eric Garner killer Daniel Pantaleo and others of his ilk on Monday. Come to Florida, the swarthy governor said, inviting the troubled cops of New York to join him.
“We fight the woke when they go after our law enforcement. We do not surrender to the woke mob. Our state is where woke goes to die.” DeSantis railed using the same punchline wherever he went.

DeSantis wants to throw his hat in the ring as a GOP presidential contender, but he’s petrified of Donald Trump. He shivers at the thought of Trump as his opponent. He probably pisses on himself. He’s a coward. Even ex-Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley — who has a zero chance of winning the Presidency — threw caution to the wind and went out on the circus wire without a net.

DeSantis got it all wrong, as he keeps bragging about his 20 point win (over weak candidate Charlie Crist) in the 2022 gubernatorial race. The saying is, as California goes, so goes the rest of the country — not as Florida goes, so goes the rest of the country. Florida is as far south as one can go. 

Can DeSantis breakout of his dullness and come up with a national strategy that will appeal to educated and intelligent Americans outside of the State of Florida? The 2024 Presidential race puts him on a short leach. But time will tell if he has the fortitude and ability to go national.

Cpl George Johnson, 101-Years-Old Montford Point Marine, Survived WWII, President FDR, Jim Crow, and A Host of Segregationists Generals.

Black History (American History) Little Known Fact.

Days Of Infamy.

The Montford Pointers. They are the first African-Americans to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps, the last bastion of military segregationists and Jim Crow-ism. In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) issued an Executive Order that outlawed discriminatory hiring practices for government agencies and banned discrimination by military contractors. Mind you, this bold move by Franklin D. Roosevelt on behalf of African Americans taking their rightful place in society was a solo act and not an act of Congress. 

In 1941, the same Executive Order 8802 on Fair Employment Practice gave the green light for Black men to join the Marine Corps during World War II. Between 1942 and 1949, over 20,000 Black men joined the Marine Corps. Many of these new Marine enlistees were already serving in other branches of the U.S. military.

In 1941, one such transferee from the U.S. Navy to the Marine Corps was Gilbert H. Johnson. Johnson, along with other Black Americans, was already serving in other segregated branches of the military. The Black segregated satellite Boot Camp of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, known as Montford Point, was named after Gilbert H. Johnson after he died at age 66 in 1972.

Gilbert H. Johnson, who became a feared drill instructor in the Marines, whom many referred to as “Hashmark,” Johnson also served in the U.S. Army. Gilbert “Hashmark” Johnson ended his military career as a Sargent Major. He served out his last 17 years in the military of his 32 years of service in the United States Marine Corps. Once the doors opened by law to the Marine Corps, Carroll William Braxton became the first Black man to join the Corps from among civilians. Tens of thousands of others followed him.

Finally, Congress recognized Marine Cpl George Johnson, 101 years old and going strong. And Cpl Moses Williams.

On Monday, February 6, Congress honored two Montford Point Marines at the African American Research Library in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Cpl George Johnson received his long overdue Congressional Medal of Honor. Johnson is 101 years old. Also honored posthumously at the ceremony was Cpl Moses Williams. Williams’ daughter received the gold-plated bronze Congressional Medal of honor on his behalf.

At Camp Lejeune, the White Marines did not want them around and sought to exclude them from service. Segregation rules disallowed them from training in the same camp as White enlisted men. The military leaders of the time sent them to swamp land near Camp Lejeune to establish their training camp with few amenities. These “Buffalo Soldiers” had to build their training camp in the swamp of Jacksonville, North Carolina. And develop the training camp they did. The Montford Pointers fought in World War II, the Korean, and Vietnam Wars, and most times out-performed some of their White counterparts.

The military leaders did not afford them the same training as their White counterparts. 

To hear Dr. James T. Averheart, also a Marine, recite the history of the Montford Point Marines, “eighty-one years ago, these pioneers had to fight for the right to fight for their country — the United States of America.” In 1941, then Commandant Major General Holcomb, when he learned President FDR signed an executive order that gave Black men the right to join the Marines, Holcomb stated, “If given the choice of 5000 White Marines and 250 000 Black Marines, I’d take the 5000 White Marines.” 

General Holcomb died in New Castle, Delaware, on May 24, 1965, aged 85. 

A Reason to Teach Black History / No Erase It.

While attending the ceremony to recognize and honor these great men/Marines and forerunners of American civil rights activists, it was a fantastic eye-opener to listen to some Marines speakers who said they had never heard of the Montford Pointers.

Gov. Ron DeSantis And Other Crusading Bigots of his ilk would like to erase all signs and vestiges of the history and the contributions Black people made to the development of the United States of America.

‘Every Marine will know.’

In 1948, President Harry Truman signed an executive order mandating the desegregation of all military branches. In September 1949, Montford Point closed, and by June 1950, the Montford Pointers Marine fully integrated the Corps to the degree it could be integrated. 

Laws and Executive Orders Can Integrate Bodies, but They Cannot Integrate Minds, Hearts, and Souls — That Act Must Come From Within.
