     Not too surprisingly, the criminal outlaw nations who have nukes don’t like it. As has long been said in the USA, “when guns are made illegal, only criminals will have guns.” Surprise, surprise, surprise, this logic also applies to nuclear weapons!

     Come on, Bob. Be positive and productive! Work on your book — you know, the book that will explain the nature of peace to Joe Biden and those other war-addicted pols out there. This book (and I quote its beginning):

     Going first, Poseidon opened a spring in the ground by powerfully striking it with his trident but when the citizens tried to drink from it, it was salty and they were less than impressed. Soon after, making less of a show of it, Athena planted a seed that almost immediately grew into a full-sized olive tree, a source of wood for fires, nutritious fruit and useful oil. Needless to say, with this gift Athena became the city’s matron.

     The 2024 United States election campaigns for federal, state, and local races have already begun. There will be Black candidates running for office but most Black Americans will continue to run for their political lives!

     Black History Month is an important time for prominent Black leaders to grandstand and quote the words of a courageous leader like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They are willing to quote but unwilling to imitate.

   Chronicling Black men’s political disgust as well as their willingness to sacrifice their lives  and votes clearly demonstrates their  courage and resolve.  Consequently,  Black men are prepared to use their ballots as leverage.  This action is to force President Biden to heed their demands.  And to prick his conscience such that he  also fights  for  a more perfect Union inclusive  for all  people.

     Unions are once again playing a significant role in a presidential election. Joe Biden joins striking auto workers on a picket line in Michigan; Donald Trump meets with Teamsters leaders at Mar-a-Lago and Washington D.C. Vying for working-class votes, the candidates show how choices made by both union and non-union workers are seen as pivotal to election victory.
