Thoughts from my Moonmind

In this, the 8th Episode of the North Star Podcast, host Robert Jenkins presents an original poem called, "Psalm 7-19".

Psalm 7-19-19, 1920

Seems like nothing is as good

As it used be

All them old songs

and all them old scenes

are now put away

like childish things

I claim to be a man, yet

things toy with me

for all that I pretend to be

more than I am

all my dreams remain

just that

yet I pray I never reach

my potential;

I wanna be

forever

limitless

Like oceans of grain

and flags flapping at midnight

just before the snow

some pain is sweeter

than can ever be known

or expressed

like how I

I can feel the absence

of all those

who came before me;

see their

portraits turning in my

mind like a

wheel in the sky

African, Welsh

and Kiowa Comanche

locking arms in my DNA dancing;

pausing briefly, to rest with you a

while

Oh child, things get no easier.

It's all on you.

who you gon' call and

what you gon' do?

Probably just what I was born

to:

Spit, scrap and fight.

Just because

the stairs ain't made out of crystal

don't mean I'm gon' lie on a silver

platter and submit to

these vultures and parasites above me

May God Bless and keep everyone I love

and all those who love me.

It's no surprise that crazy, evil people will use whatever weapons they have at their disposal to commit despicable acts. This has no bearing on the right of free, sane citizens like you and I to own firearms.

Anyone who says our God-given rights should be infringed for something we didn't do is either ignorant, or a straight-up tyrant who has ill-intent. Either way, they are not fit to lead.

Join host Robert Jenkins as he examines the way leftist propaganda is used as a poor excuse to disarm law-abiding citizens.

He also discusses how firearms have been an integral part of the struggle for Black Freedom, and why Black Folks, of all Americans, should be adamant supporters of the the Second Amendment.

In NSP Episode 0006, I speak with medical professional, independent singer, and my former fraternity brother, Sunshine Jackson. I say former because although I still consider Sunshine a sibling, the term "sister" would be more appropriate.

Sunshine and I met in 1992 while attending an HBCU in Texas. We pledged the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity in 1994 and I've always felt that she was a special person.

Check this episode out. This is not your typical conversation with a transgender individual. Sunshine brings far more depth, consideration, and personality than you typically get in such discussions.

We discuss her experiences at an HBCU, in the professional world, her faith and other items of interest.

You can find Sunshine's singles on iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming services, or at the link below:

On episode five of the North Star Podcast, I explore the concept of "When You Feel Like a Nail, Everything Looks Like a Hammer". This is a summary of the "woke" far left ideology that has slowly spread from elite college campuses to nearly every corner of our society. I first encountered the phrase on a website called Quillette.com in an article called "Sad Radicals", which is linked below.

I read some excerpts and illustrate the concept with a few real life examples including my experience in the housing market, take-aways from a conference I recently attended, and the mild controversy surrounding how much the members of the women's national soccer team are paid.

Why Do I do The North Star Podcast? I do it for love. Love of "me", and as the poet Cee-Lo Green once spat, "Me consists of all my friends and my family, from now on, until I'm gone!". I do it to out of a sense of dissatisfaction with where we are. Out of a strong desire to ensure that I am ever mindful of freedom. Out of a willingness to serve. The North Star Podcast. Principles over Politics, and Freedom in all its Facets.
