Fidel Castro Ruz: The Untold Story (Video)
November 30, 2016
Like most world leaders, the “Untold Story” of Fidel Castro (RIP) is compelling. It is an hour-and-change long, but the presentation and content shared might provide different insights on the man who was once the West’s preeminent dictator. Watch with your eyes and mind fully open.

Maj Toure Celebrates Trump’s Election A Victory For 2nd Amendment Rights (Video)
November 24, 2016
Southern hospitality. Nice place for gun owners. Comparing the gun range he visited to a Whole Foods. Even openly embracing gun owner education and those who came out to learn. All good things. But in the midst, Maj Toure threw this in about his recent Georgia visit in the video clip above…
Folks from Bankhead, Vine City. I mean the worst parts of Atlanta came through.
Errr…Could have done without that. And wow, the solid backing of President-Elect Donald Trump (defending his rep against liberal media bias). Might be a bit much for a liberal listener. But listen and watch. See how Maj Toure and Colion Noir frame this past election, Trump’s win, a victory for the 2nd Amendment… um… positively.
An interview for NRA TV. Yep, that NRA. And check out what the organization’s head honcho had to say about President-Elect Trump’s glorious victory after the jump.
Jon Stewart Speaks On President-Elect Donald Trump, What Makes America Great And More (Video)
November 21, 2016
Really poignant insights from Jon Stewart. Par for the course for him, even though we hear less from Stewart now that he is no longer in front of the camera. Gotta change that somehow. Jon’s voice, especially in this clip, really helps us make sense of things.
After Jon Stewart left “The Daily Show” last summer, much of the Presidential campaign went on without his unique and satirical point of view. Charlie Rose met with Stewart to discuss his new book about the more than 16 years he spent at the Comedy Central program. Stewart was quick to give his post-election analysis.
Trump’s the President. He won. I’ll be okay. So will you. It won’t be easy, but neither is America. Jon puts it into perspective. Watch.

Joe Biden And Colin Powell Race Their Cars. Who You Got? (Video)
November 16, 2016
Well, would you look at that! Joe Biden and Colin Powell have found a way to settle things… on the road with the engine wide open! Who knew General Powell was such a speed demon; that Vice President Biden was such a classic car buff. Jay Leno gets props for pulling this together and pulling it off. Okay, I mean Jay AND the U.S. Secret Service.
(Their track, their rules right? NOT! Gun it, Mr. Vice President. Pedal to the metal!)

Comedy: Stephen Colbert Says, “Don’t Move To Canada Just Yet!” (Video)
November 14, 2016
File this under laugh-to-keep-from-crying. But it is actually funny. Classic Colbert. It’s actually a monologue of hope… as America is on the verge of being made ‘great again.’ Like it or not, Donald J. Trump is the President Elect. But hey, this is what many American voters wanted. And the rest of us… we will endure. Together. We must! So don’t go running for border, eh. Stay.
Sure, they’ve got free healthcare up there. But being an American citizen is like family: you’re in it whether you like it or not.
Watch and take heart, Colbert Nation. We will be okay.

Pusha T Pushes Marijuana Legalization In His Ad: Artists For ‘Yes On 64’ (Video)
November 7, 2016
A different angle and valid discussion point of view from Pusha T on weed. Sure, we have seen Redman, Sean Price (RIP), and other emcees advocate for marijuana products in commercials and in their lyrics. But this ad is more academic and socio-political in its approach. Legalizing marijuana possession/use, decriminalization, any step in the direction of Proposition 64 on the California ballot, are positive gains in walking back oppressive mass incarceration legislation that has many friends & family locked up unnecessarily and for way too long.
Major key: Pusha T is not even a California resident. But he knows as California goes, so goes much of the rest of the U.S.

President Obama: The Full Interview on ‘Real Time’ With Bill Maher (Video)
November 5, 2016
Well, here it is… After about 8 years of cosigning, campaigning, contributing and cajoling… Bill Maher gets a sit-down with the President Of The United States aka POTUS aka President Barack Hussein Obama!
President Barack Obama sits down with Bill Maher on the eve of the election to discuss the issues Real Time viewers care about. Original air date: November 4, 2016.
Great conversation! Cannot say it was worth the wait because a lot of this talk has been said by the President and his administration all along. After watching, you’ll probably agree that (while a studio appearance would have been awesome & appreciated) this choice of format and venue (directed Q&A at the White House with plenty of time to talk) was the best way to go. We get to hear all of what the President had to say in response to all of what Maher wanted to ask on his viewers’ behalf.
You REALLY want to watch the ENTIRE interview, especially if you are an American (regardless of party, belief, etc.).

Neil deGrasse Tyson Speaks On How Politicians ‘Cherry-Pick’ What They Want From Science (Video)
October 21, 2016
Come here kids politicians. Uncle Neil is NOT happy with you. Stop abusing the science. Matter of fact, if you aren’t gonna use it right, DON’T TOUCH IT!
Science is often the topic of heated debates between politicians, but Neil deGrasse Tyson really dislikes it when politicians do this one thing when it comes to science.

Political Pundit Alex Jones Interviews Danny Williams, Who Says He Is Bill Clinton’s Biological Son (Video)
October 18, 2016
When Bill Clinton was Arkansas’ Governor, Danny Williams recalls being a kid taken to the Gubernatorial Mansion, then dragged away abruptly by his mother (Bobbie Ann Williams); an encounter that parabolizes the Clintons’ supposed denial of then-Governor Clinton’s extramarital son… That is what the Williams story being played on this the Alex Jones Show clip above purports. Williams goes further to say that Hillary Clinton pretty much banished him from seeing his biological father.
Now, we cannot know the truth with 100% certainty, unless folks are ready to take that trip and see Maury (ha!). But consider the source, as you consider the above vid from all angles. Why put this out? Who is served? It certainly serves Jones’ need for eyeballs on his channel. And Williams, if what he claims is true, could be seeking a public remedy for a grievance that would never have likely been resolved privately. We already know President Bill Clinton’s past has extramarital activity in it. Hmmm…
Oh, wait… Isn’t Bill’s wife Hillary the presumptive favorite in a Presidential election? Would Jones, Republican opponent Donald Trump, and/or those aligned with either/both of them, like to muddy the waters on the Democratic candidate’s side given Trump’s poll plummet?
Who’s to say? One might say this, though… freeze-framing Williams and looking at a young Governor Clinton… there could be some resemblance. Interesting.
But what do YOU think? That is all that really matters; now, and on into November.
(And, “It is really not my concern,” is an acceptable answer. Just saying.)

How Can You Tell If Someone Is Lying? (Video)
September 26, 2016
Okay. This is FASCINATING! Being able to divine the truth, or at least determine when someone is lying is the stuff of great spy stories, war movies, epic action-dramas, even sci-fi/superhero blockbusters… Captain America and the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. could have certainly used a lot more of lie spotting early on in “The Winter Soldier” right?
(By the way, if you haven’t already, you reeeeally should check out the BEST MARVEL UNIVERSE FILM TO DATE – “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”)
Deception can destroy confidence. Pamela Myer, the author of “Liespotting: Proven Techniques to Detect Deception” and one of the most popular Ted Talks of all time, has made a career developing interview techniques and identifying verbal and non-verbal cues a person trying to lie to you might exhibit.
But let’s bring this skill back down to Earth. Consider how your parents (or you readers who are parents) utilize lie spotting day-to-day. How does a mom know when her child is lying about where she was this afternoon? How does pops already know about those scratches on the car door did NOT just ‘happen at the supermarket’? Or let’s get real-life: How can an investigator know if a person of interest is telling the truth or not… or how might a spy counter lie spotting techniques?
Or to get really real… How will you determine whether the candidates are answering truthfully during the U.S. Presidential Debate?
(Tonight at 9PM EST. I’ll be watching on PBS – available on TV or online here.)

“Between Two Ferns” With Zach Galifianakis: Hillary Clinton (Video)
September 23, 2016
The ‘first girl president’… Zach Galifianakis is MENTAL! But he had a point: Hillary Clinton would be the first White U.S. president millions of kids have known. Aaaaand that’s the balance of the ‘good points’ in this clip. Uncomfortably funny as you would expect an ep of “Between Two Ferns” to be. You gotta watch.
(And hey, Barack Obama appeared on the show, so Hillary likely felt like, “I gotta do this.” Baaahahaaa!)

Jesse Ventura Salutes Colin Kaeperkick’s National Anthem Protest (Video)
September 15, 2016
Former governor of Minnesota and veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, Jesse Ventura, speaks on the Colin Kaepernick controversy above. Some will be surprised at what he has to say. But most who know Ventura will think, “Yeah.”
We asked the former Navy SEAL what he thought about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision to protest during the national anthem by taking a knee.
Yeah. Hell yeah! So there is one of your so-called disrespected soldiers ‘Murica. Ventura fought for our right to protest; to take a stand. Or in Kaepernick’s case, a knee. Watch.

Jesse Ventura Speaks On Black People Being The True Forerunners Of American Music, Colin Kaepernick’s Courageous Stand And More (Video)
September 10, 2016
Whoa. If former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and renegade for life was the type to be ‘scurred’ it would be for speaking up like this. Fascinating interview! Kicks off his time with Heather B on Sway In The Morning by showing a direct link between music that came from Led Zeppelin and the earlier Chitlin Circuit stuff from underappreciated Black music legend Robert Johnson.
All American music originates from [the Black people] that were brought here.
– Jesse Ventura
Watch as Ventura goes in with the knowledge, his life experiences, political experiences & views (esp. on the upcoming presidential election and voting FOR someone, not AGAINST someone)… how he came to learn “what it feels like to be a Black man in America  the Colin Kaepernick situation… his legalize-it book “Marijuana Manifesto” and so much more!
Why Racism Isn’t Just a Southern Problem (Video)
August 22, 2016
Sure, Harriet Tubman led slaves away from the South to escape slavery… the Jim Crow and Civil Rights black & white photos and videos show the South as the true ‘home’ of racism… BUT, let Franchesca Ramsey hip you to fact that racism ain’t just in the South good buddy!
While the stereotypical racist in the US might be a southern good ole boy, the reality is that “progressive” Northern and Western states have had a pretty long and terrible history with racism as well. Whether it’s the history of sundown towns that threatened violence against people of color if they were found there after dark, the incredibly racist founding of Oregon, or the long history of redlining to prevent home ownership, it seems like racism certainly wasn’t and isn’t just a southern phenomenon.
Go Franchesca! Comedy Central’s The Nightly Show was cancelled, but you’ve got too much to share with the world to stop now. No joke. Keep it pushing!
