We…, and when I say we, I mean y’all…, are a mere 7 months into Donald Trump’s Spin the Block presidency and as a quick suggestion, you should use the dog years calendar to confirm what the actual timeframe feels like.
Trump has done more in the last 7 days than an average drool cup model could do in 666 Special Olympic events. His latest shenanigan plan was deploying military troops in D.C. Yep… D.C. One of the few places in America where the actual crime rate has demonstrated a double-digit decrease year-over-year.
D.C. hasn’t seen that type of decline in crime since The Wire’s Officer Bunny implemented the “Drug-Free” Zone in Season 3. But the biggest difference between Trump’s real plan and Bunny’s fictional one is that someone can yell cut before a caravan of F150s filled with Joe the Plumbers can mount an insurrection sequel.
Therefore, deploying military troops in D.C. isn’t a constitutional violation. It’s very stupid, but it’s not illegal. Just think slavery minus the owner’s “perks.” And it kind of makes you wonder out-loud about the color of the White House and why it’s in D.C. to begin with?
In his next act of Don Foolery, Trump is considering offering a pardon for P. Diddy in exchange for the straw that stirs the average democrat’s Kool-aid.
And now that the Puff Daddy trial is over, you can’t help but wonder… will the Bad Boy change the name of his company to Nearly Death Row? It’s important to understand that the shiny suit mogul’s trial was never about whether P. Diddy or Didn’t He, this case is more about reminding the Hip Hop community that supported him… that you may have created the most ground-breaking genre in American history, but it’s more important to note the difference between ground-breaking and buck-breaking. Note: Somewhere Jay-Z is searching for Monica Lewinsky’s dry cleaner to remove that 100th problem.
While Trump hasn’t said a word about the recent shooting in Austin,Texas, did you know that the suspect (and when I say suspect, I mean murderer), in the Austin, Texas Target shooting that killed 3 people, was found naked and holding the Bible? And the real irony is that was the best news Target has experienced since Trump’s dog years in office. The arrest got me to thinking…, if you handcuffed someone that is already naked, doesn’t that make you a major role player?
The fact that a white, murderer with a history of mental illness was found reading the bible in Target just means if he plays his historically privileged cards right, he can someday be president, unlike the Kool-aid that I was served during my public education run. By the way this shooter killed 2 less people than the number of people murdered during my high school not-so-great adventure.
Speaking of murder… have you noticed that the news (and when I say news, I mean parrots) stopped talking about the Jeffery Epstein case? The only thing missing from this real life news cycling saga is the Emperor’s New Clothes.
1 love,

2Snaps, where do we go from here?
Ray, I truly appreciate you being the voice of the Hip Hop Homeless. You are our Brother in the cause! Your blog is what happens if the Economist and Source magazines merged and hired Dr West, Chuck D and Dave Chapelle as editors. You possess a rare gift for capturing the essence of our culture’s struggles and transforming them into something we can laugh at, heal from, and move forward with renewed energy of resistance. Thank you for taking these challenging times, flipping the beat, and creating something that we can rally and be proud of as a people.
The decomposition of Sean Combs’ arrest and trail into “Somewhere Jay-Z is searching for Monica Lewinsky’s dry cleaner remove that 100th problem” is simply bananas! I sit in awe of your razor-sharp wit, concise language, and profound depth all rolled into one; you among a rare and blessed few that can strike that special balance in a single sentence. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire piece. Keep delivering that truth! 👊🏽
He is special in a way most would never understand or wouldn’t want to understand. He keeps us on our toes whether we agree or not and it’s done one purpose. Ray creates a rhetoric to see how we respond and the interesting thing about he claims to learn from us. Those no longer on this text chain never fully understood the purpose. Maybe a Trump person and Ray could coexist, but I doubt it, but at the end of the day lessons would be learned and he would never back down even if the $7590 tax rebates saved him money on a Tesla.
