The inner cities are tinderboxes about ready to explode...
The Newark, NJ riots in the summer of 1967. The city center destroyed by looting and fires. Nothing accomplished.
...
The Newark riots were basically started by one man - LeRoi Jones, who eventually changed his name to Amiri Baraka.
American poet and playwright LeRoi Jones (later known as Amiri Baraka) leaves a police station bloodied and in chains after being arrested during a riot, Newark, New Jersey, July 14, 1967.
Jones had been arrested for carrying concealed weapons and was beaten while in custody; he was convicted of the crime, but the conviction was later overturned.
...
The Newark riots lasted 5 days and resulted in 26 deaths
and millions of dollars in property damage.
This guy is now the Mayor of Newark, NJ.
His name? Ras Baraka.
LeRoi Jones' son. Imagine that.

A 'grassroots' political group based in New Jersey is planning to gather Saturday in Newark to protest the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis who had earlier arrested him for forgery.
The People’s Organization for Progress (POP) is an independent, grassroots, community based, politically progressive association of citizens working for racial, social and economic justice and greater unity in the community.
What is its Purpose?
The main purpose of POP is to work for the immediate improvement of conditions in our community and the fundamental transformation off this country towards a more just society.
What are the Goals of POP?
The goals of POP include the elimination of racism, inequality, poverty, sexism, unjust economic exploitation, all forms of social oppression, degradation, human misery, suffering and injustice.
All noble ideals, right? If one building burns, one car overturned, one cop is spit on or has a rock thrown at him, they lose whatever credibility they think they have.

The art of Patrick Nagel.
The quintessential look of the 1980s, he commisioned work in many areas, from Playboy to Duran Duran.
Speaking of Playboy, the artist suffered a fatal heart attack after doing an aerobics class with a group of Playboy Bunnies in 1984.
PS: I have a signed and dated Nagel hanging on my living room wall.

Hundreds of minor league players have been cut and sent packing because of this fucked-up pandemic
Players from the Toronto Blue Jays Minor League Organization head home, their dreams killed by COVID-19.

Meanwhile, David Price, a Yankee-killer from way back,
has proven himself to be a stud after all.
He announced that he'll be sending Dodgers' Minor Leaguers $1,000 each during this COVID-19 bullshit. The guy has yet to pitch a single game for the Dodgers...

New Stimulus Check “Debit Cards” Show America’s Banks Are In Big Trouble
A new wave of stimulus payments is hitting people’s mailboxes. But they’re NOT coming in the form of checks. Instead, millions of Americans are now receiving pre-paid debit cards.
That’s right. The Treasury Department is sending out around 4 million debit cards to people who haven’t provided their banking information to the IRS. The pre-paid cards look like this:

Do you contribute to NPR?
STOP IT. NOW.
There was a time when NPR did a journeyman's job of reporting news and telling good stories. Now it's a bastion of liberal dooshtools who spread nonsense and doom & gloom on a daily basis.
This is the kinda shit they wanna talk about - this is a story produced by WBUR in Boston:
Honest to God - does anybody give a flying fuck about stuff like this? I mean aside from the whackjob in the fucked up outfit and the Mary who wrote the article? Jeez.
...
Once more for effect.
This is NOT a protest. It's a riot.

I digress somewhat just for clarification.
I will not support the National Organization NPR.
I do contribute to two NPR radio stations, both of which are unbelievably good Jazz music stations.
One is from my hometown of Newark, NJ:
This one broadcasts from the Long Beach State campus of the University of California:
Both are great - I stream them in my kitchen, out in the Garage/workshop and out in to the Lanai. Kjazz is jazz and blues mostly, and WBGO is pretty much all straight jazz. Real good stuff and unbelievably huge libraries so yer not listening to the same shit over and over and over.

I gotta ask somebody - why is this okay with these people out there? Why is this even allowed? This makes zero sense to me.
A homeless guy is allowed to sleep on the sidewalk across the street from San Francisco’s city hall - how is this 'humane'?

Now you gonna try and tell me that she isn't (okay - wasn't) one of the most beautiful women of all time?

My house - I live in a 'manufactured home' - has a label on it one the outside. I never noticed it until the other day...

MEANWHILE, BACK IN NEW JERSEY:
Governor Murphy vetoes allowing N.J. small businesses to delay rent payments.
Landlords would have been barred from evicting small businesses that take advantage of the rent suspension order. They would have been considered in violation of the New Jersey consumer fraud act if they did attempt to evict their tenant, according to the bill (S2363).
In his veto message, Murphy said the bill shifts the financial pain from small businesses to commercial landlords “who may not be relieved of their own obligations to pay mortgage payments and property taxes.”
So it's a money grab for the State with no regard whatsoever for the little guy. Well played you fuckin' scumbag.
...
For the record, I have no fuckin' clue if this is legit or not,
but even money says it is. Oregon has gone over the edge, too.
