Nick Cannon has three different women pregnant for him at the same time....whew!

Where does he find the time, my #Smooners, can somebody please tell me? Why is he refusing to strap up?

**************

Why do women choose to insult other women by saying, "you can't keep a man?"

What man? An abusive man? A serial philanderer/adulterer? A liar/thief? 

This season's #RHOA had some of the ladies seething at Kenya for breaking the "girl code" by investigating the alleged tryst between Bolo, the stripper and Porsha and Tanya (she ran off after that episode aired, homegirl put herself at the scene of the sex)!

Now, if this isn't the height of breaking the girl code, I don't know what is. 

Porsha went from jumping into Falyn's husband's pool to Falyn's husband's bed not even up to a month after the couple announced their separation.

Simon is a Benin boy, who likes fast cars and pretty faces. He apparently is the CEO of an oil services "holding" company, a philanthropist who  dabbles in film-making per the interwebs.

I cannot!!! These ladies are something else.

Josh Duggar, 33, is the first of 19 kids to Jim and Michelle Duggar. 

He has been accused of molesting underage girls, including three of his own sisters when he was a teenager.

He was engaged in the Ashley Madison scandal when he admitted to pornography addiction and infidelity while being married. 

He is married to Anna, together, they have 6 kids of their own, with one more on the way.

Josh has just been arrested for allegedly, knowingly receiving and possessing child pornography. being called the worst of the worst ever examined; he is currently out on bail.

Bill and Melinda Gates announced, yesterday, May 3, that they are ending their marriage of 27 years. In 2019, the Bezos' did the same thing.

I think the Gates' is such a shocker because they have always exhibited such a united front that no one would have expected such an announcement. They said they no longer believe they can grow together and that's saying a lot. How much more growing is needed at the ages 65, 56 with 27 years of marriage? Volumes.

So, I coined this era as "The Age of Choice"; in this new age, people don't have the patience and don't feel they have to or need to put up anything that does not work for them. The tone is more about self-preservation than the benefit or greater good of all. Are people wrong for taking that stance? I don't know.

Sad to see a great union, from all appearances, come to an end, I just hope it isn't due to salacious discoveries (well, I mean, if it is, I get it but jeez)!

John Christopher Smith (JSC) was only 12 years old when he started working at J & J Cafeteria owned and managed by the family of Bobby Paul Edwards in 1996. Six years later, when Edwards became manager, he stopped paying JSC and that's when the abuse began. 

JSC a black man ailed with a mental disability was subjected to torturous, physical and mental abuse that carried on for 17 years until 2014; when Geneane Caines, a white woman, who noticed a scar on JSC's neck when he came to put some food down, reported Edwards' behaviour to the authorities.

The story says Edwards kept JCS from his family but I don't understand why his family did not go looking for him or make a stink when they did not get to see him.

Tim Scott says the USA is not racist but I believe selling that narrative does very little to address the racism that continues to pervade the country whether blatant or systemic. 

The facts of this story read like something that happened 100 years ago but the whole ordeal was only revealed in 2014. 

More people need to call out this scourge on society, more white people as Geneane Caines did. And more black people need to recognize when they are being treated unfairly and speak out against it without fear of reproach.

This topic was interesting because there are a few men who feel like they are not valued and are in relationships with force-placed bill-paying duties.

First of, why anyone feels they have to be in a situation they are uncomfortable with is beyond me? 

Seems to me like it is an option given and a choice made! If you have made the decision to abide then you have to accept responsibility for those choices you have made. If you accept the terms, why moan about it? And if you place said terms, don't be surprised when you get treated like a commodity.

What do you think? Leave a 59 sec voice note or comment on #Twitter or #Facebook and I'll circle back.

So, the jury is currently deliberating on this case and honestly, after watching the trial from start to finish, it is an open and shut case. The prosecution did their job, the defense did not. 

The verdict should come back guilty on all charges.

There are people who are saying that George Floyd (RIP) deserved what he got because he was addicted to opioids, wow! Who in this whole world says that!!!

I wish people people didn't do drugs; because when people get addicted it is often times a long road back, if, at all, possible. 

Nonetheless, a person suffering from drug addiction does not deserve to die at the hands of the people who are sworn to protect and serve just because he does drugs.

Chauvin broke policy! 

Everything he did and did not do to George Floyd while he was face down on the asphalt led to his death. It was intentional, demeaning and abhorrent and the only justice is that he and his cohorts be jailed for killing a human being!

Another officer involved killing in Minnesota, Brooklyn Center; the officer involved has apparently been on the force for 26 years but she can't, for some reason, tell the difference between a gun and a taser. She also can't tell her left from her right let her police chief tell it!

Can someone make this make sense? 

Names are important, Chauvin has become his name. Only God knows what it was that kept him from letting up and getting up off George Floyd (RIP) but it doesn't matter now; he and his cohorts are obviously guilty and deserve the punishment they are sure to get.

Meanwhile, Jen Shah of #RHOSLC has been indicted on counts of fraud and money laundering. The hubris that these reality tv personalities exhibit that inhibits them from making smart choices just boggles the mind. You know that you are engaged in illegal activity, yet you put yourself on display? B A N A N A S!!!

You know the Feds don't make a move unless they have all their ducks in a row; she apparently was arrested while filming for Season two; if that's the case, S2 may just end up being juicier that the freshman season...I'm watching...

I get the need to want to learn and to grow in wisdom and spirituality but you better beware of who you go to to garner such knowledge! 

But why? 

Does it matter who the message is coming from or is the message not bigger than the messenger? 

To that, I say absolutely! It most definitely matters! When it comes to personal growth in morality and spirituality, it absolutely matters who the message is coming from. It is that picture that people see that makes them swarm like bees to honey. A person who feeds people what they want to hear while not actually believing what they preach, not living what they say is a liar and cheat. #PersonalResponsibility #AllTeaSomeShade #DoYourResearch #DoYourTeaSearch
