YouTube video by Duke Ellington - Topic Isfahan (Remastered 1988)

I remember the Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn composition “Isfahan,” named for a town in Iran that was released in 1967 on Ellington’s incredible album “The Far East Suite” w/Alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges’ signature solos. For a long time “Isfahan” became my lullaby.

On a lighter note: Kamala drops her truth. The word and the sentiment was “Muthaf**kuh”🤣. Kamala has always said this curse word must end in “uh,” not “er.”

Always. I typically have to start the same film about 5 or 6 times over the next few weeks in order to insure that I actually see the film.

Someone reported what they knew on condition of anonymity that is close to the case.

This is Beyond the Pale and no simple operation. ICE Agents descended by rope from helicopters to carry out what they did to Black families in the Southside of Chicago.

Eight Historical Facts About Yeshu’a (Jesus) and Christianity Worth Knowing by ©️Leslye Joy Allen

Lynching by Suicide: The Rebranded Face of America’s Racial Violence Once carried out in the open by bestial white mobs, activists say lynching of Black Americans has been rebranded in modern America as rulings of suicide,

There are conflicting reports; there is also commentary about Trey Reed’s whereabouts before his body was found that have not been reported in the general media. Add to that there have been 8 Black men and boys found hung in Mississippi since 2000.

Regular media is not reporting many details these days which is why I read data from journalists doing research on Substack.

The problem is that there have been 8 hangings of Black men and boys in Mississippi since 2000 & Reed’s death was ruled a suicide. But who hangs themselves in public?

Thank You Colin Kaepernick. Your funding of Trey Reed’s second autopsy confirmed my worst fears, but at least we know he was killed and did not commit suicide as white authorities stated in their first inept autopsy.

Thank You Colin Kaepernick for funding a second, independent autopsy. I’m still grappling with what I already imagined happened to Trey Reed, namely that he was killed first and then hung up to make his death look like a lynching. He died of blunt trauma to the head.

BREAKING: Donald Trump reportedly screamed at his lawyers to sue Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for calling him a rapist, until they explained that doing so would require her lawyers to access the Epstein files, and that he would have to testify under oath about Epstein. Then he got real quiet.

Whenever I attempted to post the link for the phenomenal film MAYNARD, which is an examination of my hometown of Atlanta’s very first Black mayor, I receive a warning that the film is age-restricted even though there isn’t a single curse word in the entire film. Visit YouTube and look for “MAYNARD.”
