Christmas Message

All is not good in this world. I haven't been feeling myself lately. How many of you know that it's only after you lose freedom that you know how valuable it is. The original settlers knew what it was like to live under an oppressive king. They had that "If only I were free. This is what I would do" mindset. And that's exactly what they did. Early in George Washington's military career, he was put in charge of a group of men and sent out to fight the British incursion. They found the British unarmed, but used lethal force against them. Eventually, Washington and his men were captured. As part of his release, Washington confessed to murdering unarmed explorers. You read correctly. Our first president was a murderer. That is just how much people want freedom. When they've had to do without it for so long.

Just one day and it will be okay.

Remember this: people never realize how much they miss their family until their family is gone. Remember the friendly banter, the "in" jokes, the references to childhood. It could go on forever, right? Not exactly. You see more powerful than missing your family is missing your freedom, as I said originally. Had people been too attached to family, America would never have been born. Moreover, evolution would be an impossibility. As a tree's seeds are carried by the wind and birds, so must the human seed develop and find fertile ground in which to lay. So don't be controlled by your parents' money. I know that this is the boomerang generation, but you must claw and fight to have a place with only your name on the lease. This is especially important if you are a black man.

Oh, the pain...

Remember: life isn't about expensive toys, or even having all of your limbs. Be careful what you wish for. You can take what you want, but others can take from you, so think of ways to protect yourself. To the young men, I cannot judge you because I know what being a man entails. I know how hard it can be to process all of this information. When you do get what you want it can seem like a curse. It's gone and used up before you even knew it was there, or were calm enough to notice.

Remember: if you felt what you had lost before, it means that you have more to lose now, so keep your mind straight and fortify your riches in this earth. What I mean to say is that if you can feel what you've lost in the past, chances are you will feel whatever you will lose in the future. Past evidence helps create future prosperity. I cannot and will not judge the young men, because life never goes according to plan. As they say, the battle plan never survives first contact with the enemy. I understand where you're coming from. You did everything you had to do, said all of the right things. You even slept in the cold and avoided confrontation. But the system still got you.

It will take a whole lot of power to create a world in which young black men aren't being carted off to prison.

Why Trump Presidencies Matter

Donald Trump could not have come at a greater time for Americans and American democracy. People keep going off the rails about how we had a "chance for change" and how we could've proved how "progressive" we would've been "if only" we'd elected a female president. First of all, didn't we hate two straight "chances for change?" I'd say the little tikes are all tuckered out from change. We need the cash crop of known sums to sustain us now.

As American as apple pie. The fact that we have elected a man, to the White House, no doubt, who has honestly spoken his mind and used his first amendment rights to the fullest - that, my friends, is the true "progressive" event of this election season. If every media outlet and every pundit is either directly or indirectly saying "hire the woman," there is no progress in doing only what every other American is telling you to do.

When the founders created the first amendment, they were thinking more about a "ban Muslims" situation than a "Deplorables" situation. What does this mean? It takes no work to jump on the bandwagon and say something against the most popular enemy, conservative straight men. What takes real work, is to identify the sacred cows of America. Namely, immigrants. Minorities. Unsuccessful people. After a lifetime of dealing with those who smile in your face and stab you in the back, it's a relief to meet a man who smiles at your back and stabs you in the front.

But that's not all. You see, it's not a coincidence that Trump came along now. The truth is that Trump's ascent to the presidency is important, not only for America's founding, but America's future. You see, there's this thing called a smart phone. It can call, text and even display pictures, full motion video and streaming video. Sound familiar? And that's not all. There's this thing called a Facebook and a Twitter. People can share their innermost feelings with their favorite high school friends.

What's the point? These Zuckerbergs promised us heaven, promised that we'd never be lonely. We put up our statuses and were hooked. And now we know that it was all a trap. How many men have lost their jobs by saying something non-PC on Facebook or Twitter? How many have been caught in the online porn trap? I went through this long statement to say that Trump is a rallying point in this war campaign against political correctness. We need to learn from Trump how to become successful even if you don't see every grown woman as a three-year-old girl, like liberals do.

More than anything, Trump is a locus of control. Men can become successful, even if they don't think like a PC robot. We need to stay close to him and listen to him so that we can learn the secrets to the kind of power that even a SJW couldn't shame. Imagine if every risque statement you made online, or in person, was magically prevented from hurting your career or family life. Did you see how his family members rallied around him? This is truly a great day for conservatism. I'll never understand why so many more blacks voted Republican this year. I don't think like a black man. But I welcome their addition to our tribe.
