Here's the thing if you were to make yourself available to be Mike Pence's VP,, you would revitalize the black vote, generally, and help you restore the Party of Lincoln as the dominant coalition in the GOP, the adult leadership wing of the GOP. You are the Putney Swope of the GOP and the 2nd coming of Lincoln. You and Mitt Romney are the last of the jack Kemp Republicans left standing and Pence shares his loyalty to the US Constitution before party. That's the nature of Duty. Jack Kemp kept the faith with the common vision of the adult leadership in the Nixon White House, the people I associate with Ray Price, If you had been the head of the RNC in 1968, Watergate wouldn't have happened and we would have established a permanent lunar colony by 2001, just like the movie. If you were POTUS right now, you would trigger the paradigm shift from the Military Industrial Complex to the Starship Capitalism of 2001: A Space Odyssey. if you had Biden's Build Back Better $7 Trillion capital budget.
Reagan's New Federalism is the solution for most of the dysfunction of the social contract resulting from the Ivy League Socialism of the January 6 majority who are why the Confederate Saint Andrews Cross is has become an act of the terrorism associated with Trump. It is time for the 14th Amendment. Mike Pence will bind the GOP back together, spiritually, and you will provide the black vote an alternative to social justice with the community as a capitalist tool. This is the point of Benning Road Beauty Parlor as the launching pad for your campaign for President in 202 at the head of the Part of Lincoln policies of the GOP. We are a cunt hair away from achieving the critical mass necessary to trigger the paradigm shift of the transformation of Quantity into Quality. Your entry into Presidential politics can be that cunt hair.

In general, those who support a candidate always believe their candidate “won” the debate. But it doesn’t matter either way. The person who wins the debate isn’t necessarily a better candidate for president, they’re just better at debates, which is not a skill necessary to be a good president.
It reminds me of Black Panther when M’Baku challenges T’Challa to be the leader of their country. What people would choose their leader based on hand-to-hand combat, the most useless skill for a modern leader? Fun in a movie, but dumb in real life.
What does it say about us as a society that we insist on this form of ritualized verbal combat that is nothing more than strutting and fretting their hour on the stage filled with sound and fury—signifying nothing?
If you watched just for the entertainment value of two codgers arguing in Real Housewives style, then that’s legit. Grab the popcorn and enjoy.
If you’re watching to help make up your mind about which candidate to support, you don’t understand the responsibilities of democracy.
#UnwrapYourDream: 💫 Dreams in Spotlight: Kelvin Doe
In the heart of Sierra Leone, amidst the backdrop of a community rebuilding itself, there's a story that resonates with the power of dreams and the spirit of innovation. It's about Kelvin Doe, a young boy from Freetown, who saw potential where others saw despair.
At just 13, Kelvin didn't just dream; he acted. With the resources at hand, which were little more than discarded electronics, he built a radio station. This wasn't a mere pastime; it was Kelvin's way of knitting his community together, offering a platform for voices that might otherwise go unheard. Broadcasting as "DJ Focus," he became a symbol of resilience and hope.
But Kelvin's story doesn't end there. Faced with frequent power outages, he created a battery from basic materials, lighting up not just homes but the imaginations of those around him. It's this kind of ingenuity that transforms challenges into opportunities.
Kelvin’s journey took a significant turn when he caught the attention of David Sengeh from MIT. This opportunity to interact with some of the world's brightest minds wasn't just a personal achievement for Kelvin; it was a beacon for young dreamers everywhere, proving that innovation isn't confined by geography or resources.
Choosing the play under the name 'DJ Focus,' Kelvin reminds us all of the power of concentration and persistence. His path from a local innovator to a source of global inspiration underscores a vital truth: with focus and determination, the potential for greatness exists in each of us.
Kelvin's narrative is more than an account of technological prowess; it's a testament to the human spirit's capacity to dream and achieve, regardless of circumstance. It's a narrative that prompts us to think: How can we, as leaders, educators, and mentors, nurture this spirit of innovation and resilience in young people everywhere?
In a world where the scale of challenges can often dwarf our sense of hope, stories like Kelvin's are essential. They remind us of the sheer potential that lies in dreaming big and the impact one individual can have in inspiring a community and beyond. ❤️🌍🔊

Two weeks ago, my favorite stand-up comedian, Nate Bargatze, hosted 𝘚𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦. His trademark deadpan humor was on full display, especially in this sketch where he played General George Washington.
While Washington was an accomplished leader, this skit made it seem like Bargatze's take would have made him a terrible Solution Engineer.
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗲 𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿:
𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲: George Washington, played by Nate Bargatze
𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗲'𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺: SNL Skit from 10/28/23
𝗢𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: General of the Army
𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮: https://lnkd.in/gQbrVqcF
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗘: 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
Bargatze's George Washington is excited about defeating the British so that he can have a new, free land. But the thing he cares most about is not freedom for all, but the unique measurement system that he will enforce.
He doesn't want to adopt the metric system; he's completely focused on the unique way of measuring length and temperature that will alienate the Colonies from the rest of the world.
While humorous, this is like every demo I've seen when an SE isn't engaged with the audience. They go on and on about features and functions that the prospect obviously doesn't care about.
Much like the troops who are confused by Washington's vision, SEs get tunnel vision and only focus on what is important to them and their demo.
The great SEs stop demos when they aren't getting enough engagement. They start off demos saying, "I have a demo flow, but I want to know what you are most interested in seeing today."
So listen to your audience and focus on what interests them the most.
Go Jags is all good for most football fans in Jax. As an individual, I say, at what price for the two percenters stadium? Research shows that the NFL Games do not impact taxpayers' quality of Life or the city. Plus, the folly to invest in Eastside is fool gold unless the Eastside dollars are simulating with the stadium renovation. To elevate a community, four pillars are required - rebuilding the family infrastructure, Afrocentric education, preventative health, and collective economics. African American leadership must demand more from the city when addressing unmet promises unfulfilled. Let Go, Jaguars, but put the citizens First. The African American leadership on the Eastside is dysfunctional. Albert Einstein once said we cannot solve our problems using the same thinking that created the problem when it comes to elevating the thinking and embracing stem education through workshops. The Jaguars or the city cannot save the Eastside without community activists, entrepreneurs, and subject matter experts who live in the community. Donna promises the Urban Core. Real talk.
Thank you for sharing this!
