Food For Thought: The FR/CN/MAGA Christen ecosystem is trying to make "left Christianity" a thing. It doesn't exist, any more than "right Christianity" exists. But watch ... within 1 month, we'll have the FR/CN/MAGA Christen pushing a "third way" of their own.
Inevitable.

Lil’ Vicious — Nika (1994)
Brooklyn dancehall meets ’90s Hip-Hop on this crossover classic. Produced by Super DJ Clark Kent, “Nika” blended Lil’ Vicious’ youthful style with a smooth sample of The Isley Brothers’ “Between the Sheets.” The record reached No. 9 on the Billboard Rap Singles chart and became a memorable soundtrack to the ’90s.

Rest in Peace, Hubert “Geese” Ausbie (1938–2026) 🏀❤️
Before the Savannah Bananas, there were the legendary Harlem Globetrotters, entertaining generations of families with their incredible basketball skills, humor, showmanship, and unforgettable personalities.
Hubert “Geese” Ausbie was one of those legends. A gifted basketball player, coach, and entertainer, he helped make the Harlem Globetrotters a household name and brought laughter and joy to millions around the world.
For those of us who grew up watching the Globetrotters on television, especially my fellow Gen Xers, those performances were more than just basketball. They were part of our childhood.
Watching the Harlem Globetrotters on television is one of my core childhood memories. There was nothing quite like their combination of athleticism, comedy, and pure entertainment.
Hubert “Geese” Ausbie passed away on November 8, 2026, at the age of 88, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy.
Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the magic you brought to the game.
Rest in peace, Geese. You were truly one of a kind. 🏀❤️

None of these IG models can hold a candle to the OG
Karrine Steffans says she and Jay-Z f*ckd at the back of a chauffeured car on the Malibu coastline and it lasted only of 3 MINUTES😭💔. They both agreed it was a mistake and went right back to being "friends." The wildest part? He'd just helped her earn $2,500 a day on his music video set... and later she went on to date his OWN business partner. 💀
It started in 2000.
Karrine was 21, a single mother working as a video model in Los Angeles. Her cousin knew Jay-Z personally and asked him to look out for her on the set of "Hey Papi."
Jay made sure she got good camera placement, decent pay, and whatever else she needed.
"He always looked out for me."
But eventually, their friendship turned physical.
After a shoot, they drove toward the Malibu coastline and hooked up in the back of a car.
According to Karrine, it lasted about three minutes. They both realized it was a mistake.
"We only had one encounter that was beyond a friendship."
In the video below, she explains how they went straight back to being friends afterward.
Years later, Karrine got involved with Damon Dash, Jay-Z's business partner at Roc-A-Fella Records.
She still saw Jay around. They even discussed turning her memoir into a movie.
"It was as if that sexual encounter never happened."
Then in 2016, Beyoncé released Lemonade, and Karrine publicly revisited the story, calling herself one of Jay-Z's former "Beckys."
She clarified that their encounter happened before Jay-Z and Beyoncé started dating.
Jay-Z helped launch her career, they hooked up once, and she later dated his business partner.
For years, neither said a word about Malibu.

So I see the professional football team in Georgia has thrown in the towel on the 2026 season.
Let me go see what the Hawks are up to…

Dems should not take the bait.
Comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship.
BREAKING: Trump now endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying the people who want full deportations are on the "pretty far right," after losing the midterms.
He admits in a 60 Minutes interview that his immigration policy "was too tough" and "ultimately that hurt me," and says "illegals" who have been in the US for 10-15 years, such as hotel workers and landscapers, should have an opportunity to stay.
"Let the people that are here, and in some cases here for 10 and 15 years, work a deal for them," Trump says, adding that "people have already called me," including Democrat James Talarico.
