Every week I read of some alcoholic, careening into a car full of people who were minding their own business...they were either killed or maimed. Many of these drunks, and drug heads,... Simply shake their heads and say 'sorry!'. Sometimes they get long sentences, but none can make up for the loss and tragedy they caused.

How do these drunks pay for this in the next life... They can simply shrug their shoulders and say 'I'm a drug addict'... I'm a victim too.

It's sickening how many of these losers never face consequences or take responsibility. Many drunks just don't care.

How did they end up being drunks in the first place?

What is their karma?

James Ambrose Johnson Jr. was born on February 1, 1948, in Buffalo, New York, to Mabel (née Sims) and James Ambrose Johnson Sr. He was one of eight children. He was an altar boy and choir member at St. Bridget's Catholic Church.

Rick James's father, an autoworker, left the family when Rick James was 10. His mother was a dancer for Katherine Dunham, and later worked as a cleaner in the day, and as a numbers-runner for the Buffalo crime family at night to earn a living.

In 1964, Rick James dodged the US Military draft by fleeing to Toronto. To evade US military authorities, Rick James went under the assumed name "Ricky James Matthews". That same year, Rick James formed The Mynah Birds, a band that produced a fusion of soul, folk, and rock music.

The Mynah Birds, who eventually signed a recording deal with Motown Records in 1966. James's career with the group halted after military authorities discovered his whereabouts and eventually convicted him of desertion related charges. He served several months in jail.

After various stints in local bands, Rick moved to California and got a record deal with MCA in 1972, and released his first album. It was a minor rhythm and blues masterpiece but disappeared almost immediately.

Shorly thereafter Rick moved back to NY and formed the locally popular Stone City Band in his hometown of Buffalo. In 1977, James found success as a recording artist after signing with Motown's Gordy Records, releasing the album Come Get It in 1978 which produced the hits "You and I" and "Mary Jane".

In 1981, James released his most successful album, Street Songs, which included career-defining hits such as "Give It to Me Baby" and "Super Freak", the latter song becoming his biggest crossover single, mixing elements of funk, disco, rock, and new wave. James was also known for his soulful ballads such as "Fire & Desire" and "Ebony Eyes".

He was known as the King of Funk and lived a wild ride life --- eventually succumbing to various health conditions of diabetes, a stroke, pacemaker, and heart attack. His autopsy found alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium), bupropion (Wellbutrin), citalopram (Celexa), hydrocodone, chlorpheniramine, methamphetamine, cocaine and digoxin (Digitalis) in his blood. However, the coroner stated that "none of the drugs or drug combinations were found to be at levels that were life-threatening in and of themselves --- "He died from pulmonary disease in 2004 at the age of 56."

Hi Friends,

I heard this idea, years ago but NOW, there's several 'gurus' pushing this SEO system.

Here it is ; YOU create Multiple 'small websites' that share links in the same market niche. By linking numerous websites, all focused in one section of town, somehow enables its CREATOR to achieve 1rst page results in their 'business specialty.'

EX. A plumber creates 30 websites all located in his city of choice. All are plumbing service related, service, supplies, etc. He then links them together and 'very soon' he'll start ranking (page 1)for his plumbing services. (so the gurus claim).

PROBLEM; How does he get it done without obtaining all new IP addresses for each site he puts up?

IF HE doesn't, google will surely find him fast and 'Throttle him to hell.'

• QUESTION(s); are their hosting services that allow 1 user to create numerous IP addresses under 1 party control?
• If not, would a VPN enable the user to do this?

What do you think -- Thoughts/comments?

Thanks for your help!

IS THIS a new trend --- will they hold parents accountable for their Teenage kids who 'kill people in their cars?'

The father of a Georgia high school shooting suspect was convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday.

Colin Gray, the father of accused Apalachee High School mass shooter Colt Gray, has been found guilty by a jury in Barrow County.

Colt Gray allegedly killed two 14-year-old students and two teachers during the September 2024 shooting in Winder. 
The father was found guilty on all counts and is facing up to 180 years in prison. He will be sentenced at a later date. 

Gray was motionless, looking down and to the side while seated at the defense table as the guilty verdict was read. Minutes later, deputies placed him in handcuffs and led him out of the courtroom.

Under Georgia law, second-degree murder involves causing the death of a child while committing the crime of cruelty to children. Jurors convicted Gray of second-degree murder in the deaths of the two students and involuntary manslaughter in the killings of the two teachers.

In addition, jurors convicted him of multiple counts of cruelty to children in the second degree and reckless conduct. Colin Gray had pleaded not guilty to all counts.

While searching for an Electrician, I've noticed 'dozens of generic' photos of Blue collar workers (look like stock photos) of every race and creed and all pointing to similar phone numbers.

I called one of the numbers and talked a female, who asked me 'Do you need an electrician?' --- then 'What city is the work being done?' -- to which I responded 'Who are you and want's your license number?' -- she then confided in me 'We are a referral company' !

Huh?

What do I need a referral company for --- I want to talk to an electrician --- do any of them advertise on Facebook?

What a joke !

Carly Simon has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

The 83-year-old singer-songwriter, best known for her 1972 hit “You’re So Vain,” revealed the news on Monday in a statement obtained by Variety. “So many people have written to me, kindly wondering about my relative silence, asking how I am and what I have been doing. The truth is, I’ve been learning how to live with Parkinson’s disease,” Simon said.

“It has taken me some time to understand the diagnosis, to adjust to it, and to decide how much I wanted to say about it publicly,” she continued. “Parkinson’s is different for everyone, and it can be unpredictable. Some days I’m so tired I can’t get the day moving at all. On others, it gives me a little more room to move, think, work, and feel like myself.”

She's also battling skin cancer and has had several treatments and surgery to combat this disease.

We're PULLING FOR YOU CARLY --- keep up the good fight!

As a child, I was indoctrinated by Fanatics who's motives were ultimately CONTROL of their Flock -- they sought to create a group of followers who would be blindly loyal to them and their version of the Bible. INDEED, it was a way of life for them --- they really thought that 'the more people they could lead to the truth' --- the greater their reward 'in heaven' would be.

PROBLEM was, they were 'deeply flawed' individuals, many of whom were convicted criminals, child molesters, wife beaters and charlatans.

Ultimately, I think the problem is 'ego related' and compensation for deep psychological psychological insecurity, a need for identity, and social reactionism (A political ideology and orientation that advocates for a return to a previous, often idealized, state of society rather than accepting progressive change or maintaining the current status quo),

• What say you... why do you think some people turn to Fanaticism as a way of life?

Thank you for your input!

GREAT --- lets have more wars by joining forces with the worst War Criminals in the world! ---

Wat Da? --- Of course these WHORES IN CONGRESS have no problem sending the bill to taxpayers!

>The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives voted Wednesday in favor of a record $1.15 trillion military spending authorization bill containing a highly controversial provision to increase cooperation between the US and Israeli armed forces.

>Massie said that “our founders would be appalled at what Congress is doing now.”

>On Wednesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) described Section 219 as “an outrageous threat to our country’s security and autonomy.”

>“Americans want no part in Netanyahu’s genocidal regime,” she added, referring to fugitive Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Congress cannot continue to bankroll Israel’s campaign of terror. Voting NO.”

GET on the horn and CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN -- organize, organize, organize -- protest outside their offices!

This is the last thing we need...

Hi Friends,

I have to change a Weather Head and Meter Box at my house. The one I have is old and starting to rust out (getting corroded).

• Does anyone know a 'fair priced' residential electrician?

Thanks very much!

I have a friend who is an heir to his uncles estate. They're going through probate and trying to locate the heirs (one of which is unknown address/location).

• I assume a private investigator was hired to help locate this person, but what if they can't find him?

Thanks for your input!

I do group benefits for small business in my area. I setup their insurance benefits (life, health, etc). Not often, but sometimes I'll get a request from startups to help them setup a 401k.

I'm not looking to set the world on fire and make millions. BUT if it falls into my lap, why shouldn't I make some money while providing a service...?

Is it worth it to obtain another License? (I'm guessing a series 65 would be easiest).

• ALSO, If i work for a bank, am I even required to have a license?

Thanks for your input!

I've noticed a few times now, that asurion refers me to the Manufacture for warranty coverage.

Why even bother buying them if they don't cover --- OR WHEN is it wise to buy them at all?

• Anyone know the answer?

Thanks very much!

Hi Friends... I've had these cameras for 3 yrs. They were working fine until 2/1/26. -- about the time my ISP went to 5g.

I recently bought the TP-link 'WIFI Extender' that gives me both 2.4g and 5g capability. I bought it after reading I could setup my 2.4ghz cameras to work with my network *(I guess there is a way to setup the cameras to work in 2.4ghz speed?

PRESENTLY, I'm getting the message on my ph app 'The device of offline'

• What am I doing wrong --- Is there anyway I can get these v3 Cams to work with my WIFI extender?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi Friends.. I have a few questions(s),

When someone owns RE and passes, I'm certain a Title search is done to recognize and pay off any liens.

• 1. Does the probate attorney 'personally do the search' or does he contact a Title company?
• 2. If so, is the Title Search guaranteed (no surprise liens)?

Thanks very much for your help!

Jermaine Adrian Bennett and Savonne Morrison randomly murdered Jeffrey Chapman who was out riding his bicycle at 12.30am in Clearwater Beach Fla.

Investigators claim the two proclaimed themselves “legends” for performing the horrifying murders and beating an elderly man in St. Petersburg hours before the murder.

According to authorities, the two suspects implicated beat an elderly man in St. Petersburg and vandalized automobiles nearby about an hour before the savage murder of a Clearwater man in a beach neighborhood.

Investigators claimed that one texted the other saying, “We did it,” the morning following the crime spree. Police announced on Thursday that they had detained Savonne Morrison, 18, in connection with the murder in Clearwater. Jeffrey Chapman, 49, was slain on October 21. Jermaine Adrian Bennett was detained shortly after.

Deputy Chief Michael Walek stated, “We are certain [these] two individuals are accountable for this murder,” noting that Morrison was on probation for an armed carjacking.

A timeline of Morrison and Bennett’s activities was provided by the investigators. We about to become ghetto, Bennett texted Morrison at 8:07 p.m. on October 20.

Morrison was picked up by Bennett in Pasco. A timeline of Morrison and Bennett’s activities was provided by the investigators. We about to become ghetto, Bennett texted Morrison at 8:07 p.m. on October 20.

At 8:29 p.m., Bennett picked up Morrison in Pasco County. They traveled to St. Petersburg, where they made a film of themselves using a tire iron to smash the windows of automobiles and trucks.

Detectives are currently sifting through thousands of videos on Bennett’s phone, according to Walek. They approached a senior citizen in St. Pete at about 11:35 p.m. along 22nd Avenue North, close to Bob’s Carpet Mart.

Kovacsev claimed that they beat the man with the same tire iron. The man had ribs and shattered bones, so he was hospitalized. He was later discharged from the hospital.

The time of this was between 11:09 pm. and 11:31 p.m. Both suspects were in Clearwater Beach at 12:37 in the morning when they saw Chapman riding a bicycle, according to the police.

According to Walek, Bennett beat Chapman after Morrison shoved the victim off of his bike. They both left the area.

Bennett allegedly posted the following on Instagram at 1:50 a.m.: “I committed two murders tonight.”

Bragging Murderer ....
