     If you’ve never been to one of Quick The Poet’s Mega-Flo’s, then you haven’t experience the true essence of Spoken Word in South Florida. For 10 years, Quick has been curating shows that leave audience members moved, captivated, and with the desire of wanting more. Each year, the show’s theme, mood, tone, and even acts vary.

Given that nearly one in four American women have an abortion in their lifetimes, I fear deaths and horrific outcomes to many pregnancies and maybe another Great Migration.

     Demonic dimwit Donald Trump – the whiny, pathetic, defeated Putin puppet crybaby – is such an unrepentant career criminal he can’t even just TEMPORARILY stop committing new felonies during the ongoing televised blockbuster January 6th congressional hearings, specifically – witness tampering and witness intimidation! Trump is truly stupid.
