THE Truth of the matter is the majority ignored ALL the DEMONS and Trump is our President, and all his appointees are criminals & unqualified turning our nation’s government into a Three-ring Clown Show with Nepotism. Being a Black man who was victimized by a prejudice Judicial System I find that America can easily forgive & forget when it comes to whites, especially white males when a Blackman with a record is scorned and demonized, especially in the CNMI — BIGOTRY rules! Trump’s appointees are prejudiced toward women & their rights, white supremist, a health-nut, a prejudiced AG and the list goes on of the most ridiculous appointees in the history of our nation — TRUE! The White House, the U.S. Congress and the Supreme Court will be three-rings of clowns with real criminals & family running the show. I even warned America to “buckle your seat belts” about Trump before he even took office in my book, “The Audacity to Change,” on Amazon Books. I knew then Trump would bring in White Supremist, cozying up to Putin & Kim, and I even predicted the rise in Domestic Terrorism and “He’s Back 2.0”! They ASKED for the Trump Demons, now WE will all face them — prayers!!! And PLEASE work with our New Delegate, as she has a plan but I’m truly afraid of the GOP cuts by our Fathers-in-Washington.
It is clear to me that White Americans want a White America even if it’s a corrupt America, just like our Locals wanting our corrupt Republicans for 30 straight years of corruption, favoritism & nepotism right in our faces! But the sad part on the mainland is too many people of color, including locals, were bamboozled (fooled) into thinking Trump really cares. I just wish I could see their faces when they finally “WAKE-UP” only to realize they were really bamboozled. Blacks KNOW from history that every time People of color (Locals to) take one step forward in America (Obama) history shows they are pushed two steps backwards (Trumpism). Remember the Civil War and freeing the slaves followed by Sharecropping Schemes to keep Blacks in debt & on the plantation and over 100 yrs of Jim Crow & Segregation, so I’m not making this up.
The CNMI also can’t escape the hypocrisy, favoritism, nepotism and bigotry that exist here, but nobody wants to talk about it publicly when WE were promised TRUST! It’s OK among CNMI Republicans for the President & his Cabinet to be criminals when I’ve only been trying to help, yet our Republicans here have done everything possible to stop anything I try to do FOR the People regardless of the merits and even go back 50 yrs., bigotry at every opportunity! Stop the ugly BIGOTRY of denying progress, as the GOP would rather see their People suffer than for Ambrose to get any credit. The Governor CAN’T fix our economy and now he’s using CEDA for his shield — gaslighting & deflecting politics. Our Legislature is just going through the motions & nothing NEW. Our Justice System still can’t prosecute high profile cases with all judges recusing instead of letting the Chief Justice hire a judge from the U.S. every two years. There’s a lot of fixing needing done and no leader listens to a real Economist who even taught breaking & extending paradigms at NMC — but bigotry rules.
But it gets worse, given the 33 opportunities and nothing was done or even said by our leaders about any of them is saying a lot about all the elected officials, save three. No checks & balances nor oversight on the Governor on anything, as there is NO Excuse for ignoring all those opportunities of merit FOR the People, just letting GOP bigotry ruin the CNMI just to stop Ambrose. Democrats & Independents suffering GOP Stockholm-Bigotry, it’s so pathetic that I have to LOL to keep from crying FOR the People who lost-out on many good opportunities! But I hope readers can now see WHY I’ve been showing so much TOUGH LOVE with our leaders to be adults, professionals and brave enough to say publicly based on the merits that, “maybe Mr. Bennett is Right and we need to look into this,” which is what should have obviously happened with the Cannabis Commission nepotism if our leaders truly CARE about wasting money & making Tourism THEIR Business TOO!
Trump & Ralph reminded us that God has nothing to do with our good, bad or ugly politics. WE suffer the results, as it is written, “render unto Caesar (government) that which is Caesar’s and unto God that which is God’s.” WE did it to ourselves voters. I’m just giving leaders the tough-love they need to start fixing & improving OUR Commonwealth for ALL. WE can only pray for voters & leaders to have moral character and to do the Right-Thing. To overcome Republicans, Democrats here & on the mainland must develop a “KILLER-Instinct, as nice guys finish last in human competitions.” John Wooden, “Stop playing softball when the Republicans are playing hardball.” Dems should be sick and tired of losing — I am, as lose once shame on you Dems but lose twice, shame on ME if I didn’t DO Something for a BETTER outcome! But I must offer a BIG Thank You to JusticeFighter7 for being the only one to finally show up with an objective comment of TRUTH when my Democrats like I knew they would, buried their heads in the sand to my Op ed, as ignoring good advice is a losing strategy for TRUE! It’s time to grow-up Politically and grow-big in the Tourism Industry or else the SAME-O SAME-O TAYA! There are some GREAT People in the CNMI who deserve much BETTER, as Ur attitude LEADERS determines OUR altitude. So, PLEASE start attending Mass, undo Ur narrow prejudice-mindset and get Ur mind, Ur People and the CNMI out of the gutter!
One People, One Direction.
