September 2024 

Vice President and Presidential candidate Kamala 

Harris destroyed Trump during their debate and so 

thorough was her dismantling the bully that he was 

backed out of another debate as of right now. 

We cover the mess in Springfield, Ohio, created by 

the lies of Trump and JD Vance, and we share a 

fantastic and shareable graphic about what VP 

Harris has done for Black Americans. Check out 

Taylor Swift’s emphatic endorsement of VP Harris 

and Gov Walz and look at the podcasters and 

Youtuber’s exposed by the Justice Department as 

being paid by Vladmir Putin to spread his anti- 

American propaganda. 

We compare the presidential campaigns with our 

feature article Campaign of Joy vs Campaign of 

Hate and Anger, and look at the significant 

numbers of prominent business leaders who 

support Harris/Walz, why Hamas are the enemy 

of Palestinians, and why MSNBC’s Dana Bash 

was wrong to ask VP Harris about Trump’s 

racism.

CAMPAIGN OF JOY 

VS CAMPAIGN OF 

HATE AND ANGER 


When your entire aesthetic is hatred, anger, 

vengeance, retribution, misogyny, homophobia, 

and antisemitism, and all of those are standing on 

a platform of racism, then joy, laugher, honesty, 

solemnity, integrity, inclusion, and selflessness are 

seen as weapons of mass destruction. 

Having fun and enjoying meeting and talking to 

voters should be reported as positive politics not 

as anomaly or pandering. While airing made up 

grievance, disparaging people, and name calling 

should be seen as beneath presidential 

candidates…If mass journalism wasn’t functionally 

dead. 

VP Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz are genuine 

and authentic in how they comport themselves in 

every setting. They’re professional, courteous, and 

can engage with kids, workers, and professionals 

with appropriate words and behaviors. 

Something Trump and Vance cannot and will not 

do. 

You know OG media is upside down when good 

and kind are seen negatively and unworthy of 

coverage while a grown man incapable of 

ordering a donut or a man and his team shove an 

army worker out of the way on army protected 

land that’s supposed to be sacred are excused, as 

Trump did at Arlington National Cemetery. 

Republicans are in a long overdue death spiral 

and their media not only wasn’t prepared for it 

they’re incapable of covering it. 

The media oligarchs who cut those checks are 

like those titanic staff who sank with the ship 

and the journalists going down with them are 

the bands The best part is the Harris/Walz 

momentum isn’t slowing but growing. The more 

people meet, see, and hear from them the more 

voters realize there is a better way, with better 

people, and with better policies. 

America tells itself it’s the best nation in the 

world and Americans desperately want to believe 

that. Believing that means working to make it 

true. Harris/Walz are doing that and promise to 

continue to move forward. 

The other guys want to go backwards. 

We’re not going back. 

Vote Harris/Walz and let’s enjoy the journey and 

have fun in these final 68 days.

TAYLOR SWIFT 

ENDORSES HARRIS 

FOR PRESIDENT 


After being pressed to speak up after Donald 

trump posted memes showing she supported 

him. 

Then she got roped into the campaign again 

when Brittany Mahomes outwardly supported 

Trump and criticized those who called her out. 

Brittany is the white wife of NFL quarterback 

Patrick Mahomes, a mixed-race Black man. They 

have mixed race children who would be harmed 

by Trump but Brittany doesn’t care and neither 

does Patrick. When he was asked about his wife 

supporting Trump he gave a mush-mouthed 

answer that was heavy on maga words while 

refusing to endorse either candidate. 

So of course, Taylor was asked again after 

hobnobbing with Brittany at the KC football 

game and again at the U.S. Open. 

The calls were loud, and somewhat unfair since 

other American global artists aren’t being asked 

to publicly share their political choice – though 

they should be. 

Taylor responded with a lengthy post on 

Instagram that emphatically settled the 

controversy. 

Here is her FULL STATEMENT: 

Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If 

you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your 

research on the issues at hand and the stances 

these candidates take on the topics that matter to 

you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and 

read everything I can about their proposed policies 

and plans for this country. 

Recently, I was made aware that an AI of ‘me’ falsely 

endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was 

posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears 

around AI, and the dangers of spreading 

misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that 

I need to be very transparent about my actual plans 

for this election as a voter. The simplest way to 

combat misinformation is with the truth. 



Myron J. Clifton 

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and 

Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m 

voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the 

rights and causes I believe need a warrior to 

champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, 

gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so 

much more in this country if we are led by calm 

and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed 

by her selection of running mate Tim Walz, who 

has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a 

woman’s right to her own body for decades. 

I also want to say, especially to first time 

voters: Remember that in order to vote, you 

have to be registered! I also find it’s much 

easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register 

and find early voting dates and info in my 

story. 

With love and hope,

Childless Cat Lady 

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. 

Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is 

yours to make.

Sometimes, when you’re at a crossroads, a door will open and what enters will inspire you. 

Other times, what enters will make you gag. These stories by a ride-share short-timer might 

have the same effect on you. A man, recently laid off from his job and intrigued by the 

people he might meet (and the money he might make) decides to drive ride-share while 

looking for a new professional management position. 

Don’t want to drive drunk? Well, then, by all means, plug in your location and get your 

friendly neighborhood ride-share driver to ferry you to your next bar. Need to move but 

can’t afford movers? There’s an App for that! Tired of waiting for tricks on the corner? Wait 

—I’ve got an idea. . . 

The behavior and stories of folks who call on ride-share turned into a unique 

anthropological study for one man who decided to drive ride-share while looking for a new 

professional management position. Recently laid off from his job and intrigued by the 

people he might meet (and the money he might make), the author unwittingly became the 

anonymous confidant for men, women, nonbinary people, and children. Unfortunately for 

him, he also became the innocent target of people who couldn’t hold their liquor, others 

who couldn’t hold their temper, and at least one who couldn’t keep his hands to himself. 

Little did they know they were in the Prius of a writer, who would be able to look in the rear 

view and tell their stories. 

This collection of anecdotes is non-judgmental, full of irony and dry humor, and may help 

someone else decide: Is driving ride-share for you?

Maurice Woodson Began his career in the publishing Business. 

He has written for Right On! Magazine, Black Elegance, Class 

Magazine as well as ran Black Beat and Spice Superposter 

music Magazines as Editor N Chief. In the early 200s he owned 

The Suburban herald, a small newspaper in upstate New York. 

He then ventured into the music industry managing artists and 

briefly working as A&R and A&M records. Looking to be more 

involved in telling stories he began writing screenplays and 

also honed his craft working as a script consultant. His love of 

creating and storytelling led to him writing Novels and 

children's Books. 

Woodson has been studying Black history and true History for 

nearly two decades. He believes that if schools won't teach our 

stories we must because we need to know how we got here in 

order to know where we are going. "We must plant seed in 

young minds, inspire. and empower." This has led to the 

publishing of children's books including the popular "We Know 

The ABCs Of Black History...Do You? and "I love What I See 

When I Look At Me."

PALESTINE’S GREATEST 

ENEMY IS HAMAS 


Palestinian’s greatest enemy is Hamas. The 

citizens won’t progress until Hamas are out of 

power and cast to the terrorist dustbin of history. 

Domestic protestors are harming peace progress, 

and are lackeys for Trump, Putin, Iran. And they 

are blaming Israel, Black Americans, VP Harris, 

and which does nothing to help Palestine, while 

turning more Americans against the protestors. 

Netanyahu is worse than Trump right now but 

effectively showing Trump and the western world 

how Trump too would disregard international 

demands and domestic protests to preserve his 

administration while killing enemies and 

noncombatants. 

American democrats are the best option for the 

Israeli people and Palestinians and the only path 

to a peaceful now and future. 

Yet domestic protestors and astroturf movements 

convinced many leftists that democrats in general 

and Black Americans specifically are their 

greatest enemy. 

They’re going as far as blaming VP Harris for their 

made-up “genocide.” 

For reference Kamala is my age. How is she 

responsible for a Middle East war that’s decades 

and centuries older than us, created by white men 

in Europe and America, and funded by dozens of 

western nations for decades? 

Stop being stupid. 

I’ve been following mid-east messes my entire life 

and it’s no better or worse than it’s been in my 

lifetime. What’s worse is those folks have 

convinced young Americans and even Black folk 

that WE are the problem preventing mid-East 

peace. 

Dummies to the right and left of me. 

As many of my peers say: I want peace for Black 

Americans first/last. Yeah, I want world peace and 

peace across the African continent, Asia, the 

Americas, and with all indigenous folk. 




Nobody wants peace for the US except US. That’s 

how we differ from literally everyone else. Show 

me videos of people around the world protesting 

FOR Black Americans… but for some reason, we 

are supposed to advocate for every other group 

around the world. 

The nerve of protesters to tell Black folk to put 

them ahead of us in *this country we built, slaved, 

and struggled 24x7 while many of them go back to 

their legacy dorms or cozy McMansions in the 

suburbs their parents redlined us out of. 

As my white friends say, fuckin’ A. 

Ya enjoy your little racist protests. And we Dems 

will keep working to protect you, Palestinians, and 

Israelis.

Haitian Americans are being slandered by Trump, JD Vance, and republicans. They 

picked up a Facebook lie and spread it to mainstream media and now Haitians in Ohio 

are being targeted by racists, schools have had to close due to bomb threats. It is hard 

to destroy a lie, but it is easy not to start one or believe one.

DANA BASH SHOULD NOT 

HAVE ASKED VP HARRIS 

TO EXPLAIN 

TRUMP’S RACISM 


“I am deeply confused as to why the American 

political media would believe a politician of 

color should be accountable for explaining the 

racism of her historically racist opponent.” – 

Magdi Jacobs/Twitter 

I think something Magdi gets- and every Black 

person “I’ve” ever known would agree with her. 

We do not want a white person to ask us about 

another white person being racist to us. 

Conversations w/acquaintances are another thing 

altogether as they’re fleeting and frequently 

surface and shallow. 

We deal with racism every day from birth so 

you’re not sharing anything new or unique. If 

someone spoke racism to us or to another 

famous person, trust us WE know. 

I used to call it the UBPGN- underground Black 

peoples gossip network- word gets around, we 

discuss, we move on. 

It’s exhausting, you know the answer, it’s done 

for you, and it resolves nothing while putting us 

in the muck. 

And when the question stems from someone as 

known as Trump whose racism is his 

personality then it serves no purpose other 

than the continuance of harm that is now made 

closer to us because it’s being said directly to 

our faces. You are bringing racism to our 

faces.That’s not to say racism shouldn’t ever be 

a topic amongst interracial friendships, because 

those are often the most productive 

conversations undoing racism. 

We have to move on for our sanity, safety, and so 

we can get up and go to school, work, etc., and be 

in predominantly white spaces w/folk who... 

surprise, think just like Trump. 

We don’t need white friends helping spread 

pollution directly in our faces. Restrain yourselves 

like we restrain ourselves 24x7 to survive 

The Dana Bash folk are mouthpieces of systemic 

racism and supremacy. Don’t you be. 

VP Harris said it best: “It’s the same tired 

playbook. Next question.” 



Myron's 

HOT TAKE 

#1 

Crowds don’t always matter, but in the current 

political environment they can indicate trends. 

Trends show that crowds for VP Harris and 

Gov Walz are overflowing and enthusiastic, 

while crowds for Trump are small, bored, and 

with many people leaving early. 

#3 

While Trump and JD Vance are spreading 

vile lies about Haitians in Springfield, it is 

wise to remember the city put out a call 

for immigrants a few years ago because 

it needed workers and tax revenue. 

#2 

Trump and weird racist Laura Loomer are 

allegedly having an affair and evangelicals 

are okay with it. And I guess Melania and his 

first love Ivanka are also okay with it.

VP HARRIS EXPOSES 

TRUMP DURING DEBATE 


I needed to remember that for the debate VP Harris 

isn’t trying to win my vote. 

She necessarily emphasized the broadness of her 

policies that’ll help so-called undecided and 

moderate republicans who are done with Trump be 

reassured. 

Winning looks different than her speaking at DNC. 

I'd have loved to see her go after him with fire and 

fury every time she speaks and refutes his steak of 

lies – and she did at times take the fight right to his 

face as was necessary. 

Whereas she once told Donald “Say it to my Face” 

after one of his typical insults directed at her at one 

of his rallies, at the debate she said each of these 

directly to his oafish face: 

You’re a disgrace 

You’re laughed at 

You’re weak 

Your crowds are bored/leave early 

You’re immoral 

You’ve abandoned allies 

You’re unfit 

You’re running against me, not Joe 

You (mthrfkcer) unsaid but we all knew she said it 

As good as that would have made me feel I don’t 

believe that’s the approach *most Americans 

want to see in that setting. 

I think they wanted her Presidential- however you 

define it. 

And as much as many democrats hate it… she’s 

performing for big media, too. 

Big media hate that she won’t capitulate to their 

demands, so they are always ready to parse and 

destroy every word she speaks, every head turn, 

facial expressions, and body language. They were 

chomping to go after her. 

Never mind that VP regularly meets with local 

media around the country and with Black media 

because the D.C. press doesn’t consider any of 

them media because the DC press are so selfimportant. 




Normally the best she’ll get from big media is 

“begrudging respect” ... and that’ll be along with 

their contempt. 

But so thorough was her dismantling of Trump 

big media – both domestic and international, had 

to call a thing a thing, to quote one of VP Harris’ 

other famous sayings. 

We saw their early hot takes: 

She shouldn’t say “I’m speaking” one of them 

wrote. 

“She’s mean to staff” 

“She’s over prepared” 

The “Hillary” was in full effect. 

Big media desperately tries to treat VP Harris like 

they do other smart accomplished American 

women: as a threat, an anomaly, mean and, 

specifically about Black women, Angry. 

The counter to their poor hot takes are the VP’s 

rapid fire social media response team and her 

vast numbers of online supporters and 

influencers who produce excellent content. 

Anyway, I love it when VP Harris talks- whether to 

us, to kids, to voters on the campaign trail. She is 

always herself and honest to the moment. Like 

Hillary and many professional women, she won’t 

be intimidated by a mediocre man unfit to hold 

her legal pad, whether at a debate, on the 

campaign trail, or with world leaders. 



Feature 

TRUMP AND VANCE 

ENDANGERING 

HAITIANS 

WHILE THE DEPARTMENT OF 

JUSTICE DOES NOTHING 


J. D. Vance and Trump making up and 

amplifying lies about Haitians and nazis 

marching in Springfield, Ohio who answered 

the call to take the lies and fights to the 

streets are no different than those who 

responded to Trump’s calls to take over the 

capital. 

With fewer than 50 days until the election 

they’ll only get more emboldened because no 

authority is stopping them. 

Again. 

The governor is sitting on his hands. Their 

senator is encouraging it. And the Republican 

nominee is celebrating and calling for more 

violence while promising to deport American 

citizens he doesn’t like. 

What good is a Justice Department, FBI, 

Homeland Security, etc., when they sit 

around watching college football while 

citizens are terrorized? 

Every elected democrat needs to speak up too. 

No matter their state or district- including VP 

Harris, Gov Walz (both have spoken and need 

to continue) and the president. Go hard. News 

conference hard. 

Protect Americans from these vile people 

before Jan 6 part 2 happens. 

Like how on Jan 6th law enforcement was 

diddling while politicians were hoping Trump 

called off the dogs. 




The media are passively watching it all and giving 

Trump the same passes and graces they did on 

leading up to Jan 6th. 

What are we even doing here? 

All those dumb “Blacks for Trump” including 

elected folk like fat headed Byron Donalds… what 

are they doing now that Haitians are being 

demonized? 

Because guess what, Byron? Haitians look like… 

any other Black person in America. They look like 

you, dumb-bumb. 

We’re always a target and now a subset of us are in 

danger 

They’ve seen how quickly they can direct and 

mobilize their hate. And how slowly law 

enforcement responds. 

What voters can do is keep it in the news, reach 

out to Ohio politicians, federal officials, your local 

ones, and get into their social media accounts to 

let them know - this is NOT ok. 

When You Can’t Compete on Policy... 

What Trump, JD Vance, and the GOP are saying 

about VP Harris: 

This is white supremacy, kkk, qnon, proud boys, 

and every white group that have been wishing for 

their chance to do what their ancestors did to us to 

realize their twisted dreams: attack Black people 

with impunity while law enforcement turns the 

other white cheek. 

And the other people gleefully pushing the violence 

angle? Those same Putin podcast /youtubers outed 

as being paid by Putin to push his propaganda… 

why aren’t they even prevented from pushing 

violence and societal destabilization now that the 

Justice Department has shown them to be working 

for Putin? 

*Fake Accent

Locked up 1,000’s of Black men for weed

Failed CA Bar 

Low intelligence & all the Sexism & misogyny 

Again, what the fuck are we even doing? 

Like our Jewish friends we are always a target. 

Haitians are the latest attack targets, but they 

won’t be the last. It’ll spread if not completely 

squashed early. 

Early, not late. 



Alert! 

PROJECT 2025 AND AGENDA 47 

You’ve probably heard about Trump’s Project 25 (or Agenda 47) that he and the Heritage 

Foundation put together. It is a blueprint for changing America in horrible ways, including 

restricting voting, changing the courts, giving Trump unlimited power, defunding ALL public 

schools, closing numerous government agencies including the Department of Education, 

ending Obamacare and Social Security, and more and worse. Here is a link to a guide to help 

understand Project 2025 and why voters can never allow Donald Trump back in the white 

house.


PROJECT 2025 = 

ROLL BACK FREEDOMS. 

NATIONAL ABORTION BAN. 

ABOLISH CHECKS AND BALANCES. 

TRUMP’S PLAN TO TAKE YOUR POWER, 

YOUR CONTROL, AND YOUR MONEY.

BLM-PD 

BLM-PD. BLM-PD. BLM-PD. BLM-PD 

BLM-PD 

In the not too distant future, the US has been taken over by white nationalists, and the 

institutionalized racism that has underscored the country’s entire history has once 

again been codified. California has seceded from the US, and a band of strong women 

plan to start the next civil war following the death of their friend at the hands of the 

police. This is BLM-PD.

MYRON'S 

HIT OR MISSlist 

HIT 

VP Harris decision to forgo traditional 

media and focus on local media during her 

campaign stops is brilliant. 


HIT 

Right wing racist and alleged Trump sidepiece, 

Laura Loomer and Marge Taylor Green 

engaged in an online fight full of vulgar 

accusations, sexual insults, body-shaming, 

and accusations about infidelity and sexual 

acts performed on Trump. The party of family 

values on full display. 

HIT 


MISS 

The Country Music Awards snubbing Beyonce 

despite the fact she had the best-selling 

country album that produced numerous hits 

is a disgrace but totally unexpected from 

organization that refuses to acknowledge that 

country music genre originated with Black 

artists. 

Gov Tim Walz visiting battleground and rural 

areas – including Florida, Wisconsin, and Ohio 

is smart and will prove to be shrewd and 

effective. 

MISS 

Dave Grohl, 55, of the Foo Fighters, releasing a 

statement that he has a new daughter… from 

the affair he was having. 

MISS 

Republican candidate for North Carolina 

Governor, Mark Robinson, being exposed as a 

serial peep show store visitor was only part of 

the string of hypocritical revelations about his 

personal life that are derailing his longshot 

candidacy. It was also released that the 

virulent anti-abortion candidate, and his wife 

had an abortion, and that they stole $3k from 

a local Girl Scout troop. Maga normalcy. 

MISS 

Sports host Shannon Sharp “accidentally” posting 

on Instagram live his, uh, activities with his 

girlfriend. The video was all sound… and that was 

enough to know the verbose sportscaster needs 

to do better at guarding his phone when he is 

online. 

HIT 

Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin 

were some of the commentators that have 

been identified as those being paid shills of the 

Russian government. 

MISS 

Another republican was arrested because he 

had an automatic weapon near Trump. He was 

arrested on Trump’s golf course in Florida. 

Another good guy with a gun who used 

Florida’s permissive gun laws – hint: They don’t 

have any gun restrictions – to take his anger 

right back to the source: Trump and 

republicans. 

MISS 

Elon Musk thought it appropriate to wonder 

why “No one was trying to assassinate 

President Biden/VP Harris.” He left his tweet up 

for hours ignoring outrage from millions until 

he finally deleted it, claiming he was “Joking.” 

Musk is a threat to democracy and should be 

arrested and forced to sell Twitter. 

MISS 

Sean Combs aka P. Diddy was 

arrested in New York and charged 

with three counts: racketeering, 

sex trafficking by force, fraud or 

coercion and transportation to 

engage in prostitution. Its been a 

long time coming for the music 

billionaire who spent his career 

defrauding other rappers and 

singers and physically abusing 

dozens of women and girls.

don’t have to worry about the challenges of technology 

and can instead focus on their craft and new 

connections. 

Meet the Founder, Kevin Linney 

My name is Kevin Linney, I also go by the name Crucial 

Point. I have tons of friends that make music and we all 

have the same issues regarding storage and sharing 

our music. As an underground/independent Hip Hop 

artist, I wanted to create a platform where we could 

store and easily share our music with people around 

the world. 

Dear Dean Magazine | Sep. 22, 2024 | Page 41 

Even as an amateur artist, I had close to 200 song files 

sitting on Google Drive and DropBox, none of which 

were being promoted or heard by anybody other than 

myself. I needed a place where I could simply store my 

song files and easily share them when I want and with 

who I want. 

I created the sayeYO app with music artists in mind. I 

added features like the discover page, where artists can 

share songs made public with other app users. In the 

discover page users can play songs, like songs and click 

on any shared links. Our in-app text messaging allows 

users to share full-length songs, media files and much 

more for improved communication and collaboration. 

I also added a business directory so that sayeYO app 

users can connect with people who offer services within 

the music industry. Some of the categories include DJ’s, 

record labels, mixing and mastering, music blogs/news, 

podcast, marketing and promotions, management and 

consulting, dancers and choreographers, plus much 

much more. 

The sayeYO app is truly one of a kind. It is not your 

typical cloud storage app. I know there are millions of 

song files sitting on various storage drives around the 

world that have not been listened to in months or years. 

I know from personal experience with my music that it 

is easy for artists to create songs and not ever put them 

out or promote them. 

I want music artists to think differently about music and 

audio storage. Songs don’t have to be stored and 

forgotten about. Music artists can upload all their songs 

to the sayeYO app and have a place to privately store 

their music or share their music publicly with a global 

audience. 

Don't let your music files get lost in storage. Join 

sayeYO and invite your music friends!

Peacock - Fall Guy. The movie stars Ryan 

Gosling, Emily Blunt, and Winston Duke and it is a 

fun faithful remake of the old television series. It 

is irreverent, silly, and full of top-notch stunts 

done by remarkable stunt actors, i.e. Fall 

Guys/Gals. 

Netflix - Rebel Ridge This movie is a mashup of 

Walking Tall, The Legend of Billy Jack, a tiny tad of 

Rambo. Rebel Ridge is intense, paced well, good 

drama, and worthy action sequences. Aaron

military veteran who just wants to pay his
