4th of July plans?

I don't know who here celebrates it but my family always does a huge cookout. We have all sorts on the grill and hang out outside.

This year my one uncle is hosting the gathering. He has a big property so I expect there to be even more people showing up. Especially since the covid scare is mostly gone.

Do you have any plans for the 4th with friends/family?

Mass Evictions Coming

As rent prices go up, inflation across the board is hurting millions. It is estimated that over 8 million will lose their home in the next few months.

When things like this happen, crime rates skyrocket. Civil unrest spread like wildfires. Be sure that you are protecting your family and your home.

Some are saying this is going to be the summer of chaos.

Roe V Wade Overturned - Be. On. Watch.

Regardless of how you feel about abortion, be on watch.

That Antifa group is out in the streets encouraging violence. If you decide to protest, do it earlier in the day when the sun is out. Stop when the sun starts going down. Avoid areas where you see large numbers of white people wearing all black using umbrellas. They are not your allies, they are your enemies. These were the same groups that got the rioting and looting going after the George Floyd protests and not a damn one did time.

These white people wearing black HATE black people. They HATE America. They are not out there for women's rights, they just want an excuse to hurt people, break stuff, and burn things down. The damages they do often get turned onto black people. I saw plenty of evidence of that in 2020.

As for Roe V Wade being overturned, how do you feel about it?

Scientists craft living human skin for robots

Spin Thread on World's First Living Robots Can Now Reproduce
New updates on Robots as sentients has developed into an even more chilling process.
We don't take SCI-FI movies for granted smh

I'm confused and I'm glad I am married to a wonderful WOMAN!

I was in the gym lifting HEAVY weights and I looked at one of the TV's and this is what I saw. The agenda is coming to fruition. I am not anti but I don't agree how a lifestyle is being pushed to the masses. The problem I have now is that you don't know who someone is. Laws are being passed to cover someone's sexual orientation and you have the ability to change your birth records and other documents. With surgery and collagen, people are looking more and more like who they want to look like.

Playstation skipping Gamescom 2022

PlayStation joins several other big gaming companies in bowing out of Gamescom 2022. It was earlier this year that Nintendo confirmed it had no plans to be part of Gamescom’s return this year. In the time since, Take-Two Interactive and Activision Blizzard have also bowed out of the event.

Gamescom 2022 is meant to be a “hybrid” return of the event. This will be the first year in several that a physical event returns to Cologne, Germany, but the event is being bolstered by an online presence, featuring online showcases like Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live. Opening Night Live took on larger importance with Gamescom as it was forced to shut down its physical events due to the COVID-19 pandemic in previous years.

This is the first time I am hearing about this event. Is this something that is new or have I been living under a rock? LOL

Knowing Sony and Nintendo won't be present, why would anyone care about this event?

The Umbrella Academy pushing trans issues on kids


I am sorry but wtf?

"A family of former child heroes, now grown apart, must reunite to continue to protect the world."

This show was made for older children and teens and now they are forcing transitioning into the story. I never watched this nor had any interest in it but I know SEVERAL people with kids who watch this. WTF!!!

Like I get it, you transitioned irl and that was your choice but this shouldn't be reflected in the show. Be a better actor. She knows how to be a woman. She could fake it for the role. Plenty of gay men play straight men. Straight men/women play gay roles. Why are trans people getting a pass to drag their irl stuff into character roles like this?

If this was for adults, I wouldn't care so much but this show is for kids... This is wrong.

Do people really think he is running the country?

a0ZGnLv_700b.jpg
Read this.

Read it again.

He is not running this country. This puppet can't even think or act for himself. He is the face of destruction now. Modern America has its problems but he is the poster boy of destruction. Everything he promotes, pushes and has done - it has made America WORSE. When it is being made worse for middle-class white families, just keep in mind, it is being made THAT MUCH MORE WORSE for BLACK FAMILIES.

How has he not been impeached? Why are not more people angry about this?

American Skin

Movie is incredibly heart breaking, Its about a guy whos child is killed during a traffic stop. And without giving away too much the events that come after.

Thanks!!

With RWS running rampant, it can get easy to get lost. I try hard to remind myself some things that are good. Here are some of my thoughts in no particular order:

Please feel free to add yours. Can be as random/serious/outlandish as you like. Just whatever keeps you going.

Twista's Gun Camp

I stand with him on this.

Twista knows gun violence is a huge issue in his hometown, and he believes educating the public about proper firearm usage can go a long way toward making the country safer.

The Chicago rap veteran joined “TMZ Live” Tuesday to discuss his firearm education course, “The Gun Camp,” where he trains civilians to be smarter with weapons.

In the wake of the Buffalo and Ulvade mass shootings — not to mention the continued spree of shootings in the Chi — gun control and reform are once again front-burner debate topics … but Twista’s firmly embracing the “blame people, not guns” theory.

He repeated the oft-used line about it being the person behind the gun who ultimately makes fatal decisions.

I think this is a good thing. Teach people about guns so they respect them and understand them. They can be a gun hobby but they also offer protection. Had more people been armed and trained with guns during that shooting in Buffalo, the dude would not have stood a chance. The only one who did anything was an ex-cop and he got shot cause he didn't have any armor on while the shooter did. Had there been more guns pointed at him, things would not have been as bad. We need to respect guns and get politicians who respect us and our rights to protect ourselves! Anyone who is anti-gun in America is anti-black.

MoT#169 The Home Is Supposed To Be The Real Classroom

Black parents are understandably angry with the racism against black children in school. But rather than protest and wait to see if racist school administrators will ever get tired of being racists we need to remember that the home is the actual classroom for our kids. And from there begin looking to take over these institutions miseducating our kids rather than hoping we can shame racist "educators" into decent behavior.

Failure to Maintain Your Firearm Could Cost You Your Life | Neighborhood Watch Vol. 1

vecteezy_work-in-the-carpentry-workshop-african-american-happy-male_7424147_29.jpg

As Black people, we are under constant siege. A routine trip to the grocery store or park can devolve into a fight for our very freedom and in many cases our lives. Ahmaud Arbery’s last moments on Earth began with a simple jog, Trayvon Martin’s on a walk to the store, and Tamir Rice’s while in the park. For far too long, many Black Americans and Black people in general have chosen to hope, pray, and “legal fiction” our way into some type of passive resolution to our historical issue. Fortunately, not all of us seem to have our head in the clouds.

According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Black Americans saw a 58.2% increase in firearm purchases in the 1st half of 2020. While this is impressive, it’s important to note that White Americans accounted for 72.4% of all firearm purchases within the same timespan. However, this does not detract from our rekindled appreciation for self-sufficiency. In the first part of our Neighborhood Watch series, we will cover the basics of firearm maintenance and why you MUST make it a priority.

Why Does Firearm Maintenance Matter?​

The single most important reason to conduct regular maintenance on your Firearm is to ensure it functions as intended in a life or death situation. Like many others, I at one time believed that firearms did not require regular maintenance to operate reliably. To me, the individuals who would meticulously break down, clean, and lubricate their “guns” were no more than overly obsessed diehards and enthusiasts. But Army Basic Training broke this misconception and showed me how my weapon’s reliability in the heat of battle is directly tied to how well I maintain it. The importance of maintenance truly set in while serving in OIF and OEF. The line between life and death was often my firearm and so I felt it was my responsibility to care for my firearm in downtime, as it always cared for me in the heat of battle.

Always Clear Your Firearm and RTFM​

Before proceeding with any cleaning, you must ensure the firearm is clear of any ammunition. Start by removing the magazine (if applicable), and then proceed with a visual and tactile inspection. Once the firearm is clear, remove any live ammunition from the room whether it is boxed or not. It may seem like overkill but you can never be too safe when handling a firearm.

If you’re unfamiliar with a functions check, please view the following videos:

These are examples, please consult your make and model for specific instructions. Once you have completed a functions test, it is time to disassemble the weapon.

Disassembly Tips​

Do not begin to disassemble your Firearm if you have not Read the Freaking Manual, period point blank. Firearms are extremely intricate and reassembly can make even the most avid shooters cry in frustration (shout out to the Mossberg 500 Elevator Assembly). Here are some quick tips to help you during disassembly :

  • Disassemble the Firearm in a clean locale with ample space and lighting. You will need to keep track of an assortment of small components and screws that can be easily misplaced. The more room you have to group components the easier reassembly becomes.
  • Follow the instructions outlined in the manual. Small mistakes in reassembly could lead to long-lasting damage to the firearm. Going it alone may work with IKEA furniture but don’t try it here!
  • Lay the parts out in the order they are removed, you will thank us later.
Some firearms, handguns in particular do not require a complete breakdown before cleaning. It is important that you always consult the manufacturer’s guide for disassembly/cleaning instructions.

It’s Time to Start Cleaning​

As stated in previous steps, each firearm has specific instructions so RTFM! However, there are essentials that you will need regardless of firearm:

  • Bore Brush
  • Cleaning Patches
  • Chamber Brush
  • Punch Rod
  • Cleaning Solvent
  • Lubricant
Once you have all your cleaning materials you want to begin by:

  1. Cleaning the Bore / Barrel
  2. Cleaning the Action
  3. Cleaning the Small Parts
  4. Lubricate the Firearm
In subsequent volumes of Neighborhood Watch, we’ll provide step by step instructions on how to complete these steps. In the meantime, there are a plethora of resources and videos available online oh and RTFM.

How Often Should You Clean Your Firearm?​

While guidance shifts depending on the firearm, you should make it a habit to clean your weapon after every trip to the shooting range. Building up the muscle memory for after-session cleanings will ensure that you have a long lasting and reliable firearm for the foreseeable future.

Parting Thoughts​

After reassembling your firearm it’s critical that you conduct an additional functions check to ensure that it is operating properly. It’s important to store your firearm in the proper case and/or bag for not only security but also for the fidelity of the firearm. Remember, when it’s time to “put in work” you need to be able trust that your firearm will see you through to the end. Do not neglect regular maintenance and certainly do not neglect proper training and instruction. Your firearm is only as good as its upkeep and the proficiency of its wielder.

Anybody else here raised by white people?

I am a transracial adoptee who was raised in a white community. I was raised with all white people and went to an all white school and had all white friends. Today as an adult I have so many psychological issues...hate white people (even though I know how to survive around them) and wish my biological parents never had me taken away. The were "schizophrenic" and on drugs so I was taken away at birth and left to starve in a foster home. I was in six foster homes before the age of two. White Irish people adopted me...and raised me and it was all good until I started realizing my blackness. They started talking to me less and the microaggressions started building...and soon I realized how they really felt about black people...My adoptive mother died and I no longer talk to my racist adoptive father...they did a number on me with gaslighting and mental abuse...so now I am picking up the pieces and living my life as best as I can..but it's very lonely.
