I have been very good,
leaving Babyfart alone.
But as we enter August.
I just have to let you know.
That August is going to be fun for us...
But very, very bad for Trump...
Along with his group of Grifters...
We will see him really start to fall apart...
As his ratings drop...
Covid-19 explodes...
Wall St, well just wait and see...
NOT GOOD AT ALL...

BRONX ZOO ORG
Apologizes for 1906 Racism
... PUT AFRICAN MAN IN MONKEY CAGE
EXCERPT
More than 100 years too late, the Bronx Zoo is apologizing for its horrific treatment of Ota Benga, a Central African man, who was actually on display in the zoo's monkey house ... with an orangutan.
The Wildlife Conservation Society -- the organization that runs the zoo -- is formally apologizing for the 1906 imprisonment and caged display of Benga for one week.
The WCS says ... "We deeply regret that many people and generations have been hurt by these actions or by our failure previously to publicly condemn and denounce them."
The apology was clearly prompted by the social activism since George Floyd's murder, and the WCS added ... "We recognize that overt and systemic racism persists, and our institution must play a greater role to confront it."
Benga was a member of the Mbuti people of the present-day Democratic Republic of Congo, and for several days during the week of Sept. 8, 1906, he was held in inhumane conditions, forced to live with an ape ... and was only allowed short periods of time outside.
Benga started to resist and threaten zoo attendants, and was only released after a delegation of local black churches demanded it. When he was finally freed, Reverend James Gordon took him in at his Brooklyn orphanage ... but Benga died by suicide 10 years later.
The WCS also denounced past racism of 2 of its founders, and is making all records related to Benga publicly available in an effort to be more transparent.

Just hours after the 63-year-old comedienne admitted she was "sorry" about the "toxic" work environment on her Ellen DeGeneres Show, BuzzFeed published the new article, noting, the daytime talk show "is a place where sexual harassment and misconduct by top executive producers runs rampant," according to, "dozens of men and women who work behind the scenes".
Speaking about their experiences, the 36 former employees range from longtime, senior-level execs to production assistants.
They claim senior producers regularly made sexually explicit comments in the office, and many of the targets were "lower-level and younger employees who felt they lacked any power to speak up."
Other employees alleged inappropriate touching took place, with many of the allegations made against executive producer Ed Glavin, who has been terminated.

And let's hope this coming U.S Election is better than the last one.
The 2016 U.S election was as big a disaster as Operation Market Garden.
And it doesn't get much worse than that.
I was surfing YT yesterday and came across one of Craig Hamilton-Parker’s recent predictions where he states that DT will get elected for a second term. Of course my knee jerk reaction was “oh hell no, not without some serious interference”.
Apart from the supremacist faction and the big money people who personally benefit, I don’t see how DT could possibly win when so many are going against him.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Christian is begging us Americans to vote. This tells me he won’t win if we vote.
Most people I know tell me their vote doesn’t matter so they won’t bother. I tell them the local & state level election LDS are on the same ballot. At least vote for that.
Which means, I've never seen voting as pointless.
It's not pointless.
It's the only thing you have got, to control monsters getting into office.
Particularly at local level as TW mentioned.
And local level is the best place to start.
So Americans, get up nice early on election day.
Put on some lipstick. Guys, put on a clean shirt.
And go and vote.
Claim your right to vote in the U.S.
It was one of the hardest won rights in the U.S.
Just for starters, in early America..... Its a sad fact that only white land owners could vote.
Then it expanded and white labourers could vote. Then women in some States could vote.
And then all American women could vote.
And let's not forget there was/is racially redistricting practices. Discrimatory election policies.
So if you are not being deliberately deprived of the right to vote. Then utilize your power.
Alot of people worked very hard to introduce the Voting Rights Act into America.
Honour them by using the right they gave you.
I know it’s very easy to give in to despondency in the current social/political climate but that is when we need to push even harder.
The US voting system is ridiculously difficult to navigate. Why is is so hard. And why do you have to register as democrat or republican? It’s an unfair set up that needs a massive overhaul.
Here in Australia we vote on a Saturday and if you know that you will be working on that day or will be away for whatever reason, you simply go online and register for postal voting which is sent off 3 weeks before the election date. When we first enrol to vote, we’re on it for life and if you don’t update your address when you move, that’s ok because your name is on there and as long as you present valid photo identification like a drivers license then you can vote. We don’t have voting centres either, all voting is done at all state schools. Every school in the country open on a Saturday until 6pm.
You can’t tell me that this way would be hard to implement, surely?
Apologies for the rant, what’s happening in the US is making me so upset. Stay safe wherever you are. God bless.
Someone lied to you. I bet they watch too much tv.
Have you ever seen an American ballot? I know you haven’t.
First of all, many elected positions such as Judges as NON PARTISAN. Meaning they are not representing any political party. This makes no sense if Americans are required to affiliate with a particular party.
Secondly, Americans can choose to register with no party affiliation.
Thirdly, there are more than 2 political parties in America. Why would we be required to register as Democrat or Republican?
In America you do not have to register as a Democrat or a Republican to vote. People register as Democrat so they can vote in the Democratic Primaries.
People register as Republican so they can vote in the Republican primaries.
Anyone who is legally registered to vote can & should vote on Election Day.
Please inform your source so they can stop spreading false information.
I forgot some information.
In America, we can vote early IN PERSON.
We can also vote by mail.
We can vote by absentee ballot if we meet certain requirements (overseas, military service, in hospital).
Some polls do not require photo identification to vote. I’ve never had to produce it. Why? Because a lot of people cannot afford the cost of the state issued photo identification.
We cannot show up anywhere we please to vote. We have to go to our designated polling place in our district. For early voting, it’s usually certain voting sites in the county regardless of our voting district.
This helps prevent voter fraud. Why would I go vote in another county when the people on the ballot have nothing to do with me and where I live? I live in the South. Why would I travel 8-9 hours north to vote for New York City mayor?
Yer. I think the only main difference with American voting and Australian voting law. Is the fact that Australians HAVE to vote.
As it's compulsory as you know.
The only thing different I guess too. Is that we are voting in all elections. Local and federal from age 18.
For all Australians ...we've been thinking about who is worthy of our vote since quite young.
Even if you don't care, you go and vote so you don't get the fine for nor doing so. As you kmow ....so many people just do that.
Having the internet today. Certainly enables me to do alot of research of who I vote for before election day.
Who's just a self interested scoundral?
And who isn't?
Not always foolproof. As a guide.
Cause so many people change when they get power. Or hide their true identity very carefully.
But if I think back on all the voting for people I knew nothing about in my 20's.... it annoys me.
Now I get a much more informed decision.
And I appreciate it.
I make my vote count.
To try and keep arseholes out of Office.
