Willesden was lead by Richard John Smith. No too shabby of a singer too. Going back to politics Gil Scott Heron had this one with the same theme. Hip Hop always on the right side.

Willesden Dodgers! Big up Bryan “Chuck” New. Absolute genius. In house producer for Jive based in sunny Willesden. I grew up down the rd from that studio. Always loved this one as well.

JD Vance on Richard Nixon: Nixon's coalition in '72 is actually durable and much more closely resembles the Trump coalition of 2024 than the Reagan coalition of '84. What Reagan did in '84 was run up huge margins with white Americans, and of course he won a historic landslide. But the country is much less white today than it was in 1984. Nixon's coalition was unbelievably durable through the demographic changes we've seen in the United States. Reagan probably could not have won his landslide in 2024. Richard Nixon maybe could have. I think there's a very important political lesson in that for all of us in the Republican Party. He was actually like a political genius.

If I told you this was a Hip Hop track that came out in 1989 and not 69 youd believe me. From the beat to the rapping and gold chains it would make sense because this everything about the music and style is hip hop. But since Isaac Hayes was rapping in gold chains in Memphis and not the Bronx, it doesn’t count. Bambooty, and Melle Mel would have you believe they started this culture. Instead of telling the truth about how this culture was handed down to them. The ego of these hip hop so called legends is astonishing. They sampled everything and give credit to nobody. That’s sad.

I never understood the point of bringing down one (in this case, an entire era) to big up another. But that's the world we live in... But to simply imply that the previous era was merely loud party raps, is simply not true. The R had a predecessor. Melle Mel did NOT. "WW 3"

On this date in 1984, at the peak of the Thriller era, President Ronald Reagan welcomed Michael Jackson to the White House. MJ received the Presidential Public Safety Commendation for allowing "Beat It" to be used in a national campaign against driving under the influence. Ronald Reagan opened his remarks by jokingly saying, "Well, isn't this a thriller!" He also snuck in another wordplay reference, telling Jackson to "please give some TLC to the PYTs." Now I know that sounds a little 'off the wall,' but you know what I mean.

Bill Clinton shared a story about the time Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson called him amid his impeachment fight, not to speak with him, but to speak with his daughter, Chelsea Clinton. Clinton also said in his eulogy that Jackson made him a better president, adding he was at the funeral "more as a friend than a former president." Jackson died in February at the age of 84 following a battle with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a condition similar to Parkinson's disease.

The Government started talking about the high speed rail in 1984. From 84 to 2010 almost $600,000,000 was spent on studies. Since 2020 over $4 billion has been spent on planning. Nothing is built. Not a single line of track. This is an epic boondoggle

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core. Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions. That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.

Ronald Reagan once said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on to our children for them to do the same. Ukrainians know this more than anyone. We stand with them, for as long as it takes.

Ansari: We now know that the DOJ, in their ongoing cover up, intentionally seem to have redacted or withheld more than 50 pages of allegations from a minor against president trump. Do not forget that Kash Patel went in front of the senate judiciary committee and said, under oath that the FBI had no credible allegations of any other people being involved These documents that the DOJ intentionally has withheld from the American public in regard to the allegations against President Trump, came from the FBI. The FBI had interviewed this witness many times. You do not do that if it is not serious. So Kash Patel needs to be immediately brought back before the oversight committee. He needs to answer these questions again, and we need answers immediately.

“Resilience must be in everything we do. We must build families that are resilient, individuals must build themselves to have resilience, and from that, the country itself becomes resilient. Rwanda has been resilient. If Rwanda had not been resilient, you would not be sitting here today; none of us would be here. We would be on the streets begging, or we would not exist at all. Our people who died have departed, but for those of us who are still alive, their death should not be in vain.” President Kagame | National Prayer Breakfast
