So we're clear on the Jonestown Gang, the US GOP

Ken-Dogger: Morning Rocco
Rocco: Look at me I’m Airborne, I’m ready to fight…
KD: You be up in the air, what makes you think you’re ready to fight?
R: Dude, I run and jump, I’m rough and tumble, let’s go to war…
KD: Whoa, Rocco, it takes weeks of training on all aspects of war-fighting to be ready for war.
R: You mean being ready for combat requires training, prepping, practicing, maneuvering, and deftness?
KD: ‘Bout the size of it…
R: Would you repeat that for the politicians here.

and though road construction might seem a pleasant way to spend a war, they had to fend off leopard and tiger attacks. One regiment was so deep in the Burmese jungle that it didn’t learn about the end of the war until two months later.

5. The Forgotten Theater

Many of the Black Americans who served in World War II did so in the often-overlooked China-Burma-India theater, the goal of which was to fight Japanese troops on a new front in addition to the Pacific theater. Thousands of Black men were assigned to build a critical road connecting those three countries, ...

4. Balloon Battalion

Take a closer look at the familiar images of D-Day when the Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy, and you might notice something unusual: balloons. Barrage balloons were anti-aircraft floats manned by the first Black regiment to storm Normandy’s beaches. Three men would keep a balloon’s cables tethered and adjust its altitude, forcing enemy aircraft to fly higher to stay above them. That made enemy planes less accurate, protecting the troops on the ground.

They served under the command of the French army, battling the Germans on the front lines longer than almost any other American unit. They even earned a parade down Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue at the end of the war.

3. Harlem Hellfighters

The first Americans to receive the French Croix de Guerre were Privates Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts for their heroics against 24 German raiders in World War I. They belonged to the 369th Infantry, known as the Harlem Hellfighters. Most of its members were from Harlem, and the regiment’s band was credited with introducing jazz to France.

tasked with protecting railroad lines and settlers, and earned 18 medals of honor for their service during the Indian Wars. Though they were continually discriminated against — they weren’t allowed to serve back East for fear of violent pushback from white citizens — the buffalo soldiers had the lowest desertion rates of any regiment in the Army.

2. Buffalo Soldiers

After the Civil War, six all-Black regiments were sent to the western frontier and became known as the buffalo soldiers. (The name may have derived from Native Americans comparing their curly hair to a buffalo’s fur.) These troops were on the front lines of American westward expansion, ...

While their first siege was a disaster and almost half of the unit was killed, they became a formidable force during the rest of the war.
A memorial now stands on Boston Common to commemorate the bravery of the regiment — which included two of Frederick Douglass’ sons — and their white commander, who was killed in their first raid.

Our American military history is filled with heroics of Hidden Heroes, many of them Black Americans...

HIDDEN HEROES

1. 54th Massachusetts Infantry

While most of the men who served in this all-Black unit did not originally hail from Massachusetts, they traveled there to enlist to fight the Confederates nonetheless after Gov. John A. Andrew put out the first call for Black soldiers following the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

The Jonestown Gang, aka US GOP, defines Personhood in the USA...

Their Webster's Dictionary is different than ours.

But when things turn gloomy, we tend to say, “stay away” — even when it robs the country of a generation that can help us to build a better future.

Morning Peeps,

Clarence Page on the Economy...

“And, frankly,” he added, “just in the last year a big part of the story of the labor market coming back into better balance is immigration returning to levels that were more typical of the pre-pandemic era.”

When they feel good about their own economic futures, Americans tend to say, “y’all come,” to the world.

Given their newfound status...

One embryo says to the other embryo, so, what are you looking forward to now with our new status?

The second embryo replies, DEATH AND TAXES.

Later Peeps,

Time to work off societal angst with physical activity.

Let's get Physical, physical, but I can tell you...You DO NOT want to see this body rock.
