Here's the thing: If you follow me, I'm going to follow you back. To me that shows gratitude and it should be a common courtesy. And if you message me--I'm going to respond. And if you listen to me--know I'm damn grateful you spent your time doing so.
A little over 15 months ago my Father asked me to look after him, to make those decisions which needed made as his life came to a close. He asked me to do this as he was always scared of dying, and could not make those decisions for himself. He also asked me to do it because he

Dad once tried to Divorce my Mom. One night she climbed in through the window of where me and Dad were living. I slept in the bed, Dad on the sofa. I don't remember what woke me, but I walked in the living room to see my Mom holding a knife to my Dad's Throat. I don't THINK
A pleasure, at times, sitting down with the great Dr. Jordan Peterson. It was a tough podcast. But I walked away knowing myself better, and beyond grateful for the opportunity to talk with the man. Please, tune in.

The New Mortgage Structure?

Gas Stoves are a Necessity. Studies show gas cooking raises testosterone levels in men. And honestly? Today's man needs all the testosterone he can get. And--cooking should involve an element of danger. Knowing there might be a chance of fire or explosion makes the food tastier.

Talking to my garbage man. He asked what I did for a living. I told him and that I was also a Former US Most Wanted Criminal. Told him I did 7.5 years. He said his cousin got 50 years for burglary. My response? "You know the Truth--The Justice System f*cks over Black Men."

Or a drug addict. Or Credit Card Thief. Or Refund Fraudster. Or whatever. No Bail.
But if you steal Billions? Hurt Thousands? Bail. How is that Justice?
In what Universe is that fair?

On Thursday, November 23, 6:15 AM, the boy behind the username Jamar was arrested by the Federal Judicial Police.
Sam Bankman Fried granted Bail. F*cking Hell. The Dude destroys people and some Piece of Sh!t Judge gives him Bail. I no longer think SBF will serve any significant time. Justice in America? All about the money, the donations, and who you know. I am profoundly disappointed.

I think it's important to not just follow people who agree with us, but those who vehemently disagree. Those who disagree often provide a valid point of view and insight if we aren't too biased to listen.

Some Idiot on CNN just said the Law in the USA doesn't favor the Rich and Powerful, but it applied equally to everyone in this Country. I literally started cursing when I heard that.
At some point in the future Cybersecurity Classes will use T-Mobile as a case study of how not to secure networks. I've literally lost count of how many times T-Mobile has been breached.
How is SBF allowed to use ill-gotten funds to pay for his attorney? My ass wasn't allowed to do that. They made my well-paid attorney drop and gave me a public pretender who looked just like Billy Dee Williams from the Malt Liquor Commercial.
I'm not done yet.
I have promises to keep. Promises made to victims. Promises made to law enforcement. Promises made to the People who put their reputations on the line to give a criminal named Brett Johnson the opportunity to have a good life. Promises made to friends, and
My Father's Birthday, June 7. He would have been 77. He is missed and he is loved. And while me and my immediate family are the only only ones who will ever visit his grave, he will be getting regular visits and chats until we are no longer physically able. Happy Birthday, Dad.
Daily Mail reports California released 7000 pedophiles the same year they were convicted. I served time with a lot of Pedophiles. Never met one that showed remorse. Never met one that didn't try to justify their crime. Letting them out same year as convicted? NUTS
Looking to buy a home? A $400,000 home financed at today's mortgage rate will cost you $1.2million. Let that sink in. Then think about the Kool-aid you are being given when Peeps say the Economy is Good.
Dipped my toes back in to the Crypto world. Bought $4500 in Shib Saturday. Value this morning: $5700. My thoughts? This latest Crypto bullrun is gonna be nuts--lots of scams, theft, money. My advice? Be careful out there. Remember a lot of this is more gambling than investing.
"You could have got a f*cking job." That's what she said to me after she found out I was a criminal. After I'd been arrested. Three weeks before a wedding which didnt happen. I remember I didn't respond. Nothing I could say. I knew she was right. Regrets? More than a few.
These shootings. Lot of talk about gun control, banning types of firearms, etc. I would agree we don't need to give crazy f*cks weapons. But why aren't we talking about the underlying mental problems of these shooters and whats led them to mass murder?

It's interesting that some People think when you call out one political side that you must support the opposing side. What these People fail to understand is there are three sides: The Left, The Right, and The People. And there is really only one of those sides you should be on.
Study Today says 24% of Teen Girls have planned suicide and that higher numbers are depressed. Maybe if parents would hug and love children and pay attention instead of putting a cellphone in their hand at age 10 those numbers wouldn't be as high. Weird idea-actually raising kids

I like Alec Baldwin. I think he's a good actor and a funny guy. But I gotta say, if I'd shot someone mistakenly, I wouldn't be bitching about being charged with Involuntary Manslaughter. I'd be thinking of the family of the victim. And I'd let Justice sort things out.
Here's a subject no one wants to talk about even though most absolutely understand it's a thing. A bit of Hot Potato no one wants to touch for fear of igniting something which isnt easily extinguished. Good thing I'm the guy that says what needs to be said when no one else will.

So I decided, FINALLY, to really start dabbling in Cryptocurrency. I've stayed away from it--other than my work with fighting fraud. Why? Because I've viewed Crypto as a "trigger." It's origins in Criminal Activity meant it was something I wanted to avoid.
That time has passed.
Here's the thing--There is nothing new under the Sun. Just because you may not have seen a specific fraud or crime before doesn't mean its new. It may just be new to you.
Case in Point--Check Fraud. That's been going on since before Frank Abagnale actually knew what he was

I'll be the first to admit I'm getting older. So I'm not hating. But can we agree that Biden and Trump are way past the age of running for US President again?
Sunday. Typically a Dead Crypto Day. I bought in to the Fuck Biden Token on Solana while attending a Race. Token is doing well, but gotta be honest: I bought the token simply because it's called: "Fuck Biden." With a name, narrative, and mindset like that? How couldn't I buy in?
Just read an article on The Conversation which says a Study concluded that darknet markets generate millions selling stolen identities. Guess it took a study to figure that out? In other news? Water=Wet.
A Kind Word, a Nod, a Thumbs up. Someone saying, "Keep your chin up. It's going to be ok." Or Simply letting someone know you see them and saying, "Hello in there." It's those moments which are most important. And it's those moments which change lives--mine included.
We live in a Time where People blame anything other than themselves for their lives. They wallow in Self-Pity with no accountability or responsibility. Society propagates this. It leaves one powerless, hopeless. Only by accepting responsibility for your life and choosing to act
So I'm not a Republican or Democrat fan. I'm an Equal Opportunity Hater. That said, no way the Colorado ruling stands. Insurrection nor Rebellion have been proven.
Maine and Colorado. Both say no to Trump being on the Ballot. I'm not a Trumper, but there is something horribly wrong with kicking the frontrunner off the ballot when no wrongdoing has been proven. Left Wing Media claiming something does not make it so.
