Happy 43rd b’day to “Combat Rock” — the iconic LP by @theclash.com that featured “Rock the Casbah”.

When writing, Joe Strummer said, “I started to think about what someone had told me .. that you get lashed for owning a disco album in Iran."

(Hence the line, “Shareef don’t like it.”)

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Dr. Charles Drew was a Black American doctor who pioneered blood banks making it possible to store blood plasma for transfusion saving countless lives. Many believe that Drew’s death was a result of being refused a blood transfusion because of his color.

To the DOJ/FBI who remain,

Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda.

Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials.

It will not work here either.

Proceed accordingly.
