Sexual Molestation Of Boys By Sandusky And Fine!!!!!!!!

This is a touchy subject because it involves boys as young as 10 years old. First Jerry Sandusky who was a long time assistant football coach and defensive coordinator for Penn State from 1977-1999. He has allegedly molested at least 10 boys over the years. In my opinion I think there is alot more because a person doesn't become a child predator overnight. And I think he started this Second Mile charity to ferry out the boys, alot like trafficing sex to other sexual predators in the area. Funny thing is the county district attorney who didn't prosecute Sandusky in 2001 disappeared in 2005 and was recently declared dead. The media is not talking much about that at all, it is very suspicious. Also I think Joe Paterno knew more than he has let on, this summer he sold his house to his wife for $1. I find this very suspicious too, you can draw your own conclusions about that one. I will say more will come out by the day. As for Bernie Fine the former assistant basketball coach at Syracuse for over 30 years more and more men are coming forward by the day. And his wife Laurie Fine is just nasty, knowing about the sexual assaults and not saying anything. Then having sex with the boy herself and suppposedly other members of the Syracuse basketball team over decades. The state of New York recently said the statute of limitations has run out for them to charge Fine. But the Federal Government is prepared to go full force after Bernie Fine. Not sure how much Jim Boeheim the Head Coach knew but at least he is trying to be sensitive now and help, once more evidence has come out recently. I say there should be no statute of limitations when it comes to sexual assault on a child. They need to change those laws. More to come I am sure on both of these cases. This is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.  

Top 5 Illinois Basketball Players Class of 2012!!!!!!!!

As I have said many times this is one of the weakest senior classes in Illinois history. Only one player in the Top 100 in the country. Here we go: 1) STEVE TAYLOR-SIMEON(CHICAGO)--- 6 foot 8 Marquette commit is the only Illinois player in Top 100 in the country has a nice 3 point shot and face up game. Rebounding has improved and so has his ball handling. Will be a key cog to the number 1 team in the country. Problem is he will have to learn to play small forward on the next level by improving his dribble drive game and defense. 2) MARLON JOHNSON---WEST(JOLIET)---6 foot 9 he can put the ball on the floor and has a mid range game. Him being Number 2 is more on potential than anything else. Very good rebounder and shot blocker. This kid has a lot of upside especially coming from playing Freshman B basketball and having a growth spurt. Whomever signs him could be getting a special talent. 3)KEITH CARTER-PROVISO EAST(MAYWOOD)---- 6 foot 0 yes I have him higher than some scouts do. He has impressed me with his floor game and the speed he plays at. He plays with so much more control than earlier in his career. Good three point shot and can get into the paint and create shots for himself and teammates. Decommitted from Loyola-Chicago but will find a school that suits his skills soon enough. 4) MILTON DOYLE-MARSHALL(CHICAGO)---- 6 foot 4 junkyard dog does it all for Marshall, had to sit out a season because of transfer, hits the boards and flies down the floor,blocks shots. Problem is the will have to learn how to play in the back court to play on a high level in college. 5) AARON SIMPSON-NORTH CHICAGO---- 6 foot 0 Illinois State commit is a stone cold scorer, can create any shot he wants for himself and can score in bunches. Problem for him will be is he a point guard or a shooting guard? He's too small to be an effective shooting guard and doesn't have the mindset of a point. But he is fun to watch. Some will say why Michael Orris of Crete Monee(Crete) is not in my top 5? he's a very good player just not sure he's a point guard? And Mike LaTulip is a small scoring guard, also not sure he's a point guard but exciting to watch. This is my rant for today. Peace to the Creatures and God Bless.   

Top 5 High School Basketball Teams in Illinois 2011-2012

Last year I correctly picked Chicago Simeon to win the State 4A Basketball title last year. I am picking Simeon once again this year to win a third straight title. here we go: 1) Simeon(Chicago)- This is one of the most talented teams of all time in the State of Illinois starting with Jabari Parker 6-8 junior forward. He's considered the best player in the country regardless of class. You also have the top senior in the state of Illinois in Steve Taylor 6-8 forward committed to Marquette, next is Top 30 junior nationally Kendrick Nunn 6-1 shooting guard can jump out of the gym. The point guard is 6-0 senior Jelani Neely who tore his ACL in June, he's due back beginning of December. Fifth starter is DeLaSalle(Chicago) transfer 6-2 junior Jaylen Tate who is a pure point guard. Bench strength starts with 6-5 junior Kendall Pollard, also you have 5-4 junior Lawrence Briggs, along with two fantastic freshman DJ Williams 6-6 and Brandon Hutton 6-4 also 6-2 senior Tarrell Green, 5-11 senior Dwaun Stewart and 5-9 senior Brandon Clemmons. 2) Whitney Young(Chicago)- Probably the most talented team in Illinois even possibly more than Simeon. Start with Colorado State commit Jermaine Morgan 6-8, you also have two of the Top 10 sophmores in the country in Jahlil Okafor 6-10  center and 6-8 guard/forward Paul White. Also have Top 20 nationally 6-10 junior Thomas Hamilton who I think will be key to their season. Also 6-6 senior Nate Brooks, 6-2 senior Gabe Snider, and 6-2 senior Jordan Smith. Still Young needs a point guard, I think they will try 6-2 sophmore Miles Reynolds.  3) Proviso East(Maywood)- New Coach Donnie Boyce has a ready made talented team this season. Ring Leader will be 6-0 senior Keith Carter who is the table setter at point guard, also 5-9 senior Keith Nicholas and 5-9 junior Paris Lee both great knockdown shooters. Sterling Brown 6-4 junior(and brother of LA Laker Shannon Brown) does a little bit of everything. Tashaun Caroll 6-5 senior will hold down the middle. This team had a great summer but weaknesses are lack of depth and size could bring them down. 4) Curie(Chicago)- ring leader for this talented team is 6-8 sophmore Cliff Alexander who is a Top 10 sophmore nationally, also 6-3 senior Devin Foster,5-11 senior Paris Burns,5-8 senior Jibreel Jackson and they have another 6-9 sophmore will be a great tag team for Alexander. 5) Warren(Gurnee)- State 4A runnerup to Simeon has a great nucleus coming back. Leaders are 6-9 senior forward Nathan Boothe a Toledo commit and 6-8 senior forward Darius Paul along with JoVaugh Gaines 6-1 senior guard will be the leaders. They will need to find a 3 point shooter to loosen up defenses so teams cannot collapse on their inside players. I will have 6-10 coming up soon. God Bless everyone and Peace to the Creatures.

Have People Become Dumber??????????????

This phenomenon I see every day especially with drivers. People sitting at green lights, trying to run over pedestrians in crosswalks,stopping at pedestrian crosswalks when they don't have to,etc. It seems like people with the big time jobs are more stupid by the day. Also people going through no turn on red lights, then when there is not a no turn on red at the light they sit there!!!!!!!!!!! I think this is as a result of television, internet, and technology. People don't read books anymore, they take soundbites that are put on the internet and make them their life. Seems like folks have no common sense anymore. Example: I was taking my wife to work on Northwestern Campus, now I am driving my car down the street of her office, students are walking. None of them get out of the road to let me go down it, I have to blow my horn for them to get out of the way. Some had headphones on and some didn't. Is this just apathy? Or is it just people are getting dumber by the day? Now these are Northwestern University students, these are supposed to be the brightest of the bright in this country. Also you have black folks defending kids rights to wear their pants down!!!!!!!!! Have you looked at any of the commercials lately? Seems like they are being made by crackheads. Seems like the Bilderberg Group have brainwashed folks with drugs,sex,and alcohol. Meanwhile DUI is treated like it's okay to drink and drive. Also the tattoo craze is totally ridiculous, don't these folks know getting alot of those hurts their job prospects? If someone else has an answer as to why people seem to be getting dumber I would like to know? I think part of it is what is not taught in schools. Also that it seems like the majority of America has had some marijuana in their system at one time or another. Most don't know that marijuana kills your brain cells, but it seems to be mainstream now especially in the African American community. I think it would help alot of people to come to Jesus Christ, it would help them not think their life is so hard to live. Well this is my rant for today. God Bless everyone. Peace to the Creatures.      

NBA Lockout Who's Fault Is It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The NBA Lockout is a crazy thing. The owners have locked out the players because they don't like the agreement that was agreed on in the last collective bargaining agreement. Yes they had an opt out clause that they exercised on July 1st 2011. I am usually on the players side in any sports dispute. This time I am on neither side. The owners as always are greedy and want to control the players as much as possible. Just like the owners of the slaves centuries ago, the owners want total control period. The players meanwhile can only blame themselves for this situation. Why? For one they have become fat cats with the guaranteed contracts, they think they can act any way they please because the contract is guaranteed. There are very few out clauses in a standard NBA contract for it to be terminated. So instead of working on improving their game, they just sit back and drag their butts up and down the court knowing the club still has to pay them. Doesn't matter if their performances are garbage they still get paid. Also the quality of play in the NBA has gone on a downward spiral for a number of years now. These kids only play for the money and not for the love of the game, I can count on one hand the skilled players in the NBA. You would think with better technology and weight training the players would be better? Too many players today depend on their athleticism instead of their basketball skills. I would say 80% of the players in the league are there because of their physical talent and not basketball skill level. Another thing: and this is a personal thing with me, I don't like seeing players on the floor tatted up all over their body. To me it looks like a bunch of thugs running up and down the court. Not saying they are actually thugs because some of them are nice people I am sure. It is just not a good look to me and a bunch of other people I know. This is one of the reasons attendance is down all over the league. Another one is most Americans cannot afford the ticket prices, part of this is the economy. Another part is alot of people don't want to go see bad basketball, a bad product. I used to be able to watch an entire NBA Game on television in the 80's and 90's. Now I try to even watch a playoff game and I go to sleep after about 6 minutes in the 1st quarter. A last reason I don't go to NBA Games anymore is too much entertainment crap and noise in the timeouts. What happened to talking to the person beside you about what just happened on the court during breaks in the action? Now it's just convoluted NOISE NOISE NOISE ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!  Myself I would rather watch a good high school game or college game even though the entertainment crap has creeped into the college game also. As it is I say shorten the guaranteee contracts then maybe these kids will play for love of the game and we will get a better product on the floor. This is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.        

Ordinance About Pants Worn to Knees!!!!!!!!!!!

I found out yesterday in my local barber shop that my Evanston Township here in Illinois is putting out an ordinance saying you can't wear your pants below your waist. I think the penalty will be a fine of some kind, this has been done in other cities in the United States, Philadelphia, and Lynwood,Illinois for example. So far these ordinances seem to work, but some folks in my barber shop was saying this ordinance is discriminatory. Of course I about went ballistic saying it's pathetic for anybody to defend that position. This ordinance does affect more African American kids than anything. Why? Because our kids are the ones wearing their pants down to their knees. How far should they go? To their calves, ankles, before long they will be wearing just underwear. To me this is indecent exposure, I for one do not want to see someone's underwear especially not a man's. Somebody in the shop did say why don't you go after women for showing cleavage? And I say to that sure, the ordinance should fine women for showing cleavage in public. I for one hope the ordinance passes because these young men need to show some dignity and respect for themselves by wearing your pants correctly and with a belt. And the original premise of wearing your pants down came from jail. In jail it was to show the other men in the prison that you are available. You folks know what I mean by "available"? So to want to fit in by wearing your pants that way shows me either you are ignorant, or have no respect for yourself. I know I am not going to allow any kid or aybody to come to my house wearing pants that show their underwear. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So for the kids that read this wearing your pants past your waist is not being cool. I might be telling other men that you are "available". This is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures. Have a safe Labor Day Weekend!!!!!!!!

America's Obsession With Celebrities!!!!!!!!!!

I will start by saying Americans in general are pathetic. Seems like they have no life of their own. Sitting around following celebrities and their lives like it's their own. First of all these celebrities could care less about you and your life. Most are too busy with their own and trying to reach into your pockets. Second of all following their lives on twitter or facebook is utterly pathetic. People this week talking about Beyonce's pregnancy and Justin Bieber's "fender bender" at his condo. Why would anyone care if a celebrity is using the batheroom or laying around the house? You see this kind of thing on twitter alot. I have a twitter account but it's only for sports updates and such. No wonder these celebrities get paid more than they should, these people would not be celebrities if it wasn't for teachers. Teachers should get paid alot more than they do, yet Americans need to be "entertained". I know people who are going to come close to killing themselves if the NBA Lockout goes on for a whole season. And others who were going nuts when the NFL locked out it's players. Here's an idea folks: STOP PAYING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO GO TO SPORTING EVENTS!!!!!!!!! Then those greedy owners and somewhat the players will get the message. But if you keep on being suckers and paying to go to these events then those owners will control you also. NFL made seasonticket owners renew their tickets during the lockout. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? My suggestion to you lemmings that follow celebrities, try educating yourself by reading a book? Or going to a museum, or riding a bicycle to get your cardiovascular system going? Get out of the house, and off the computer, and off the X-BOX and getting outdoors? And paying attention to every move an entertainer does is so pathetic on every scale. In conclusion get a life and stop following these celebrities who don't give a care about you. That is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures. Tim.

Why The Hate Against Terrelle Pryor??????????

Terrelle Pryor was drafted in the 3rd round of the NFL Supplemental Draft today by the Oakland Raiders. Congrats to Terrelle!!!! I have been on a couple of blogs: ESPN.COM and FOXSPORTS.COM today. All the negative comments against this kid have been ridiculous. Big time hate and negativity against him, people wanting him to tear his knee up, wanting to see him in jail,etc. And these comments are tame compared to what was really said. I think alot of it is racism, and parts of it pure jealousy and envy big time. Seems like people are mad because he's getting the opportunity to play in the NFL and they are not. These idiots are not smart enough, athletic enough, or too lazy and take it out on the athletes their own frustrations with their pathetic lives. Hence the jerseys with the athletes name on the back, and getting drunk, belligerent at the games. Why not wish the kid well? Why not say I hope you give it your best while in the NFL? Then the coneheads suggesting that black quarterbacks are dumb. And white people wonder why some black folks don't like them? Blogs like these that give these cowardly rednecks a forum to sound off on their racist diatribe. And too many people following these dumb analysts about what they say about athletes. Todd McShay(ESPN DRAFT "guru") said Pryor would be going in the 6th or 7th round. Wow great guy to listen to huh? I think he's a racist and jealous and envious of these black quarterbacks. He was the idiot that said Cameron Newton should be a tight end or wide receiver. He tried to get to the NFL when he was a quarterback at Richmond. I for one wish Terrelle Pryor well and hope he tears it up in the league whatever position he plays. Welcome to the NFL Terrelle Pryor. This is my rant for today. Peace to the creatures and God Bless.     

Jereme Richmond Saga The Latest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://chicago.sbnation.com/illinois-fighting-illini/2011/8/11/2356900/strange-saga-of-jereme-richmond-takes-a-sad-twist. This is one of many stories the past few days about the downfall of Jereme Richmond. I have out of town for two weeks and just heard the story late Wednesday night. I was a little surprised but not alot that something like this could happen. The disappointment of not getting drafted, not getting out of Waukegan and signing a contract overseas ASAP, and also trying to figure out what he was going to do next. Hanging around with troublemakers in a community where you was a superstar are recipes for trouble. I listened to a podcast on ESPNChicago.com with Steve Bardo talking about Jereme Richmond. One thing I do find disturbing about Illinois is they diagnosed him with bi-polar disorder. If that was the case why didn't they try and help him control it? It is an easily treatable ailment with the right medicine. Seems to me like the University of Illinois didn't do enough to help him with this condition. It explains alot the fights in high school and at the University of Illinois. Yes most of the fault is on Jereme granted, but seems like people did not do enough to help him either. I just hope for his sake that he can get the help he needs now, (maybe anger management) that could control the bi-polar disorder he was diagnosed with and be able to put his basketball talents to good use.  Also many people in the media and others wanted to see this kid fail. Why? Because you didn't like his attitude, or he wasn't friendly with some of the members of the media? Yes Jereme has to face the music for what he did this week, but I for one hope he gets it together and can get some assistance from the legal system now that he's officially in it. This could someday be a beneficial thing for his life, not necessarily is basketball career. If he can get his life together those two will go hand in hand. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone and Peace to the Creatures.

Is Simeon(Chicago) 2011-2012 Possibly Best of All-Time in Illinois

Chicago Simeon has won 4 of the last 6 State Titles in Illinois. They have won back to back 4A State Titles and will be looking for a 3rd straight title next winter. With the transfer of Jaylen Tate from DeLaSalle to Simeon this summer their lineup is loaded. First off you have to start with the coach Robert Smith. He has shown he can get the most talented players to play "The Simeon Way" and sublime their egos for the team goals. Simeon teams are not your typical Chicago Public League Power. They are not just a pressing and running team, they can also play half court, patient offense. They have a suffocating defense and are again 10 deep. Start with Jabari Parker who is considered not only the top player in the Class of 2013, but possibly the best player regardless of class. He's a 6 foot 8 230 pound jack of all trades player who can play any position. Then there's Steve Taylor 6 foot 8 220 pound forward in the Class of 2012 who has commited to Marquette. Jelani Neely 6 foot point guard who's recovering from a torn ACL injury. At the time of the injury he was playing his best basketball in June. He's a division one prospect, then there's Tate the transfer who's a 6 foot 3 pure point guard and another major division one prospect. The other starting spot will go to Kendrick Nunn a 6 foot 2 shooting guard who's a phenominal athlete who showed he's a combo guard this past summer and a knock down shooter. He's also a Class of 2013 recruit who recently gave a "soft" verbal to Texas A&M. Kendall Pollard a 6 foot 6 forward who's a Class of 2013 player who will probably be the best sixth man in the state. Also Lawrence Briggs 5 foot 10 point guard Class of 2013 and Dennis Williams an incoming freshman Class of 2015 will contribute off the bench. They are not as deep as Whitney Young but Simeon is better coached and more balanced. They have a chance to be one of the best high school basketball teams of all time in the State of Illinois. They also will be ranked among the top five teams in the country. It will be interesting if Simeon plays a National Schedule this year?

Integration: Good or bad for Blacks?????????

Yes I am doing two blogs today since I am going on vacation for 10 days. I have talked to alot of people who were living during the time of Jim Crow and the fight for integration. Surprisingly to most of you they say integration has been a bad thing for blacks. Why would they say that you ask? Don't we have a black President? Don't we have more jobs and more people with nice houses and such? Yes and yes to both questions. But they as I think it has done alot of harm only because integration did not happen as it should. MLK,Fred Hampton,MalcolmX, my Mom, my Dad, my Aunts all fought for a better life for us. And some things like seperate fountains, seperate schools and such do not exist anymore. But the problem with integration has been the loss of black business ownership. Back in the 40's,50's and 60's yes it was segregated but blacks shopped at black owned businesses. The money we spent stayed in our own communities. Store fronts, liquor stores, department stores, etc were black owned businesses. Now? You look at the corner stores in the black neighborhoods and who owns them? Immigrants? Why? Because when a black person tried to own a business now they get bombarded with high property taxes, high taxes on the goods that they sale, taxed, raxed, taxedon everything. When an immigrant puts in a bid for the business he gets tax breaks on those things that a black owner would get taxed on. Blacks are 2% producer 98% consumer, back before integration we produced alot more and the money circulation stayed in the black community. You still have unequal schools (check out the innercity schools and see what funding they get from the state), no textbooks,computers,etc, in the innercity schools which are predominately black. Tell you a story: my nephew went to Marshall High School in Chicago, he came home one day and I asked: Where are your books don't you have homework? He said they never had homework because not enough textbooks for every student to take home with them. They had to share the textbooks and leave them at school. Also the textbooks had pages missing and stuff written in them. School didn't have the money to order new textbooks every year. But it seems that the suburban schools have plenty of money for new textbooks every year. Also how many billionaire black people do you know? Or do you know many black CEO's? I will say after talking to the folks with experience that integration has been a bad thing only because it didn't happen like Dr King wanted it to be. So that's my rant for today. Take care everyone. Will be back in a couple of weeks. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.  

Communism and Why Americans Are So Scared of Concept

I will start off by putting the meaning of communism here:

• Communism is a sociopolitical movement that aims for a classless society structured upon communal ownership of the means of production and the end of wage labour and private property. ... So Americans what's wrong with sharing? What's wrong with everyone being equal? No I am not or ever will be a communist but the media and establishment has long made communism a dirty word. For Blacks it means we are on equal footing with whites and every other race. But Americans have been brainwashed to believe communism is a bad thing, when in fact it would be good for everyone. Problem is when human beings get involved and greed and cowardice comes into play. Paul Robeson and any black radical in the 40's and 50's and even today want racial equality they are labelled a communist. Like being a commuist is being the devil. In my opinion America is the devil and the bad thing for people. Capitalism is just as bad or worse than communism. Greed and only a few get a chance at prosperity in this crooked country. Full of lame brain people that have run this country intothe ground but had us thinking all along that Russia was a bad country. Well news flash black folks Russians are good people. Also I thought about it and I have never met a Russian who treated me like a 2nd class citizen based on the color of my skin. Americans have been brow beaten for years that any other system of government was evil and terrible. To me (and I have travelled to a few continents) this corrupt system of America is probably the worst of all systems outside of dictatorship. But in a lot of ways America is a dictatorship in itself. Government controlled television, no freedom of speech(can't say anything negative about homosexuality), and can't own land(if you think you really own your land you have another thing coming). So stop being scared of something that is different from the brainwashing that was done to Americans in school, television,internet,some books, etc. Before you villify another government's system read up on it and find out what that "ism" means. Stop depending on your government to give you the information because most of the time it's wrong or misleading. Media giving only soundbites to what someone says, try reading the whole statement before judging someone. This is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures. Tim. 

Casey Anthony Case!!!!!!!!

Casey Anthony was a mother who's child died under mysterious circumstances in Florida. She went through a trial and was found not guilty of killing her daughter Caylee. Do I think she killed her child? Yes I believe that but I also believe the prosecutors did not have enough evidence to convict. First of all you need a cause of death, they could not determine one so to me case closed right there. But the City of Orlando and State of Florida went on with the case(no pun intended) anyway. Wasted time and tax payers money on a case that was loose in the 1st place. If you were going to charge her then should have went for some years instead of the death penalty. Maybe the jury would have compromised and found her guilty and sentenced her to some years. Now she is not going to pay for that crime through the justice system, and court of public opinion does not count. Another thing I do believe is: if this was a black woman they would have thrown the book at her. This is still a white run country and still racism all over this country. But people need to get over it and go on with their lives. People have become too invested in the case, seems like these folks don't have a life of their own. I do believe that she will be punished, not by the law but by God at some point. God doesn't like ugly, I do believe she will get hers in time. I am just wondering if she will be harrassed like OJ Simpson was after he was  found not guilty of murder? My finally thought is if she were to profit from this at all it would show how sickening this country is. And how people love senstionalism and entertainment. People pay entertainers way too much money to entertain, partly because seems like most people lead such pathetic lives. Why can't folks entertain themselves? This is my rant for today. God Bless to all and Peace to the Creatures.   

So Called Financial Crisis in Washington!!!!!!!

I have been hearing all week about the government is going to run out of money next week. News flash folks, the government has been in debt to the Federal Reserve Bank for centuries. And nope the FRB is not run by the crooked United States Government. The FRB is run by private bankers like Geitner,Voelker,Buffett, etc. These names sound familiar? They should, all of them are either in President Obama's cabinet or they are "advising" him on financial matters. Crooks crooks crooks big time. United States owes the FRB trillions of dollars. I will say it again, they owe trillions of dollars to these private bankers. United States government has been borrowing from the FRB for centuries. These crooks are also Wall Street people and have financed both sides of every war going back to at least the 1700's. And how is America paying some of this debt back? Try Social Security, which by the way was invented as a way to pay back the FRB. If any of you are wondering FRB is an acronym for Federal Reserve Bank. This so called "crisis" is another fear tactic used by the Federal Government to keep all of us in line. Fear is a powerful tool these private bankers and the government use to scare folks into a panic, to blind us from asking the tough questions that should be asked about our corrupt government. People seem to blindly accept that our government is crooked but will not organize to make our "elected" and I use that term loosely officials to work for the people. The Constitution(which wasn't made with blacks in mind) says "For the People, By the People". What a joke!!!!!!!!!!! Check out the cabinets of the Presidents since LBJ and see that they are all a part of Wall Street. Also either Tri Lateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, or Federal Reserve cronies. So this thing about the government running out of money and the debt is another tactic to keep the folks in line. So don't fall for the okey doke folks. This is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the Creatures.  

9/11/2001 Was An Inside Job

Yes I said it: September 11th, 2001 was an inside job perpetrated and sponsored by,THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT YES!!!!!!!!!! Also sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank aka Bilderberg Group. Americans are so gullible will believe anything the government tells them on television, internet, etc. First of all it was a demolition job period. Why do you say that you would ask me? I say that because anybody that knows anything about construction, would tell you a building cannot go down like it did  with a plane hitting the side of it.  And most Americans quickly forget history or choose to ignore it entirely. A plane has gone into a building in New York years before 9/11. An airplane went into the Empire State Building in 1954. Guess what? The building is still standing in it's original place. Those buildings were built specifically to withstand planes crashing into those buildings. Also the firefighters that day on their police band was specifically saying "WE ARE HEARING EXPLOSIONS". That's explosions with an "s" folks. How could terrorist get into a secured building like the WTC and plant all those bombs inside of it? Try your US Government. Also air traffic control shoots down any plane that gets anywhere close to a major city. Did the controllers go on a coffee break while those planes went into the WTC? Also the supposed plane that went down in Pennsylvania? There was no sign of plane wreckage or any kind of fuselage in that area in Pennsylvania. And the Pentagon? No plane wreckage there either only wreckage that looked like a missile. You ask what happened to passengers on flt 93? Well that same day in Clevelan d's Hopkins Airport people could not drive off the property, they had to leave their cars and walk out the airport. My guess is Flt 93 flew there and the government gased the passengers. As for the phone call from that so called plane in Pennsylvania? Well at that time cell phones did not work when a plane was in the air, no cell phone towers. So how did the guy call his mom? Also he said " Hi mom this is Todd Beamer". Who would call their mom and say this is my first and last name? Your mom knows your voice, you do not have to identify yourself by first and last name. Then he asked his "mom" do you believe me? Do you believe me? I do have more evidence to break down this farce about 9/11 being attacked by Muslims. And if you folks (especially white folks who can't seem to believe their government would not kill them ever) don't believe this government would not kill it's own. Check out Kent State 1970 or just google it. This is my rant today. Peace to the creatures and God Bless.          

4th of July Why Blacks Should Not Celebrate It!!!!!!!

The 4th of July, independence day, celebrating America's freedom. But the question is have blacks ever really been free in America? I am not talking about abolishing slavery because we are still slaves. Not locked up in chains literally no and that's a good thing that blacks are not. But abolishing slavery did not end discrimination because it still goes on to this day. Just think July 4,1776 blacks were still slaves being sold in auctions all over America. Jim Crow laws came into effect with separate water fountains, schools, swimming pools and such. It was not long ago just over 40 years ago these laws were in effect all over the South. There is still discrimination in all walks of life jobs,sports,housing,construction contracts, etc. I could go on naming more entities that blacks are still facing discrimination. Yes whites received independence from England but when did blacks receive independence from White America? Still you see images on television depicting blacks in a negative light. Yes some of it is our own doing with killings but whites kill each other everyday. It's called the Mob and Mafia killings but it's never publicized in the white Jewish media. Blacks have been brainwashed to believe in "America Land of the Free, Home of the Brave". I say it's all a croc, the media trying to sell to blacks that we are really free. My Mom, Dad, Aunts, and Uncles fought against discrimination every day in the 60's and 70's. Yes things have improved but nowhere near enough to feel "independent". I say to whites when you are hung by your genitals, hung by a rope, subjected to Jim Crow laws, to separate but equal schools, to being followed around in stores because you are white to name a few come talk to me then. As for black folks we need to start picking up books and reading. Read about our history and read about things that white establishment tried to wipe out of the books. We are a proud and rich heritage and need to start behaving like it. A mind is a terrible thing to waste and we waste ours everyday by being ignorant and brainwashed by the white establishment to believe we have gained some kind of independence. So I ask again: when did black folks ever receive indepenence from white America? This is my rant for today. God Bless and be safe.

Are Americans still Racist? White Man Using Black Women!!!

The answer to the question for me is yes Americans are still racist big time. You see it on television and the internet, especially the people who post comments on blogs. President Obama being elected you see more coneheads(KKK) coming out of the woodwork. You would think they would learn to stop being cowards a long time ago. I guess you keep banging your head into a brick wall expecting it to move makes you real stupid. And now the white establishment is trying another way to destroy the black man. They are now using black women to do it. Now nothing wrong with anybody trying to better themselves and get a great job to support themselves. What they are doing is putting propoganda on television labelling black men as deadbeat dads, hoodlums that wear their pants down, mistreats women, and jailbirds. Also when a black man and black woman go for a job in the corporate world with essentially the same qualifications the white man ends up hiring the black woman. Now I have my daughter who is a black woman and I would never tell her not to go for yours. But I have a black son also and he should get the same shot in the corporate world as that black woman. So now you have these young black women tearing down the black man at every turn. This is racist behavior by the white man and the black woman labelling black men a certain way. I for one am not as most people describe black men these days. I have never been arrested, never been to jail, don't wear my pants around my ankles, and hold a legit job.  There are more of us out there than advertised on television. On this Father's Day weekend I am here to say black men in general are nothing like protrayed on Hip Hop videos. And yes racism still exists in America, now they are using systematic slavery. And to the black women to destroy any culture you have to go through the man not the woman. So white establishment trying to destroy the black race by using black women to say and practice negative things on a black man. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone and Peace to the Creatures.

Lebron's Disappearing Act and Terrelle Pryor's Saga

Lebron James is playing in the NBA Finals at this moment. Game 4 he did not show up, his game is on the back of a milk carton. For some reason he is not engaged, he has to be more aggressive and give DWade and Bosh some help. If the Heat can get the Big 3 clicking all at the same time the games would be blowouts. I have felt for the last 3 years that Lebron is the best player in the world. But in Game 4 of the Finals you do not shrink away from the moment. All the great ones in the 4th quarter drive to the hole and take those hits and fouls. They do it to get the other team in the penalty so they can shoot free throws. DWade has been doi ng it but Lebron stands around and doesn't even go to the boards. I am hoping he comes out tonight in Game 5 and engages like he has done most of his career. As for Terrelle Pryor, I am glad he got money off of signing memorabillia, he should get money off signing his name. The NCAA-HOLES need to stop treating these athletes like slaves. I know people are going to say they are getting a scholarship and a free education. What most folks fail to realize is a athletic scholarship is year to year, not for 4 years. Also the athletic department can take away a scholarship and does not have to give a reason. Also the athletes are forced to take classes to only keep them eligible. LOOK at the low graduation rates of athletes. And the athletes cannot hold jobs or make any kind of income (except for the University and NCAA-HOLES). And jersey sales of the athlete's jersey with their name on it, they don't receive a dime for that.   Alot of the athletes are from the inner city and can't afford the basic things as taking a date out to eat or the movies. So alot of them sell memorabillia just to have pocket change. It is time to pay the players and Pryor is taking the brunt of criticism part jealousy and part racism. And the blame should go to Tressel and the administration not the athletes like Pryor.

Terrelle Pryor And Racism At Ohio State!!!!!!!!!!!

As most sports fans have heard recently Ohio State Football program is in a heap of trouble. First they had ineligible players for selling their memorabillia from beating Michigan. Also rings from winning Big Ten Championship they sold for tattoos, and getting cars leased to them for $0. These things got Terrelle Pryor and 4 other players suspended for the first 5 games of this coming season. Problem is their Coach Jim Tressel knew about this last May and withheld the information from his superiors (School President,Athletic Director etc). So Mr Tressel knew he was playing ineligible players all of last football season. He reigned from his coaching position on Memorial Day. Thing is these yahoo Ohio State fans want to vilify Pryor for taking the cars, and selling the memorabillia. Everybody in Suckeye Nation is saying Tressel is a man of integrity and Pryor is all of a sudden a Thug. Folks other players took things and sold things and the majority of the blame should be on Tressel. The fans need to be blaming Tressel instead of vilifying Terrelle Pryor. Yes him and the other players should take some of the blame but only a little. Now Suckeye Nation hates Pryor, he's Public Enemy Number 1 in Ohio. I think alot of this is because he is black, it's funny Tressel (who's white by the way) is being defended in all corners for integrity. FOLKS HE PUT YOUNGSTOWN STATE ON PROBATION BUY A VOWEL!!!!!!!!!!!! INTEGRITY?????????????? HA HA HA don't make me laugh. My advice to Pryor would be enter the NFL Supplemental Draft and leave the Suckeye Nation behind for good. They don't deserve a good quarterback like you. This stuff at Ohio State is a GREAT example of "lack of institutional control" that the NCAA-HOLES like to use when punishing schools. We will see how "hard" they come down on this school with their selective enforcement. I wouldn't be surprised if they slap them on the wrist. This is my rant for today. God Bless and Peace to the creatures.      

NBA Getting White Boy Dirk Nowitzki To The Finals!!!!!!!!

This is pathetic on all levels, the NBA is trying  to get Dirk Nowitzki to the NBA Finals. It's pathetic defenders can't breathe on him and it's a foul. Kevin Durrant the league's leading scorer can't buy a foul in this series. Yes Dirk is a great shooter, yes he's a great free throw shooter, but he's also a big time flopper and can't play defense. Dirk couldn't guard a telephone poll. Jeff Van Gumby calling Dirk "legendary" is sickening. He's a great offensive player, that is it and that is all. He's also helped that defenders aren't allowed to touch him which gives him clear spaces to shoot the ball. Anybody that has played basketball on a high level knows it's easier when you have a lot of space to shoot the ball. Before they change the way a guy could play defense where you can't extend your arm Dirk Nowitzki was just an above average player. I contend he could not have played in the 80's and early 90's with the physical defenders back then. Also zone defenses have conspired to hide terrible defensive players like Dirk in the zone defenses. I for one hope the Mavericks do not win the title. But it's going to be tough with David Stern behind the Mavericks making it to the Finals. They are one game from the Finals and we will see more of the same. Breathe on Dirk and it's a foul. My only thing is treat all the players the same, if it's a foul, it's a foul, when Dirk pushes off it's an offensive foul(which he does alot). Yes in the 80's Larry Bird got alot of the same treatment but at least he hit the boards( over 10 rebound average for his career). Also Bird played team defense and did get some steals. To be a great player you have to be able to play both ends of the court, not just offense. And while Dirk is a Top 10 player in the league right now, HE IS NOT A TOP 10 OR TOP 30 PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS AN INSULT TO THE GREATS OF THE PAST!!!!!!!!!!! And also if you can play it shouldn't matter what your race is, treat all the players the same. NBA needs to not treat Dirk as a great white hope. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone. Peace to the creatures.     

America's Obsession With Cell Phones!!!!!!!!!

My wife told me about a guy riding on his bicycle on Northwestern University's campus. He was riding with flip flops on, no helmet , and to top it off, talking on his cell phone while biking. Nevertheless he had an accident. I see everyday people(especially suburban mothers) on their cell phones driving. People walking their dogs, and pushing their infants around talking on a cell phone. I guess they don't know they are fodder for people who like to rob you. No dead air today, people always have to be either talking on a cell phone, or texting. Also texting while driving is very dangerous, why can't folks invest in head phone in their car. Or try not talking at all on your cell phone while driving. Maybe when you are walking, enjoy the birds chirping, or the silence for once in your lives? To me it's a novel concept to maybe leave room for just thinking or being creative. People don't have creativity anymore, every movie seems to be a remake or Hollywood just screws up the super  heros big time. And also you don't see any black superheros on the screen. I guess the folks who run Hollywood don't like black people. As for the cell phone craze it's dummying down America, seems like everybody has to talk 24 hours a day, instead of having some kind of time for silence. Silence is golden.     

Single Moms Need to Stop With The Father's Day Stuff

I noticed the past few years single moms want to claim Father's Day as a day for them also. They claim it in addition to Mother's Day. This is dead wrong on all scales. First of all a woman can never be a man so that's out. Second you already have Mother's Day so stay with that. And third there are plenty of Dads out there who support and love their children. These men are given the short end of the stick by the Mother.  Now I come from a single mom home and I love my mother and did what I could for her on Mother's Day. But even my mom would admit she could never be my Father. She did all she could for my brother and I and I would not be here if it wasn't for my mom. But as much as my Father was not in my life growing up I am still not here without him either. It's time for the women especially in the black community to stop dissing black men and celebrate the ones that are good men.  The media wants you to believe there are few of us out there, but there are more good black fathers than you might think. Father's Day is for men and it's just that. These single moms need to step back and let us men get honored for a change. If your child's father is around let your children honor them as Fathers. If they are not then chill and honor your own Fathers and let that child honor their grandfather. Until women get the equipment of men you can never be a Father. You can be a Mother and do your best to put your child around positive men. And yes there are a lot of positive influences out there that are men. And I for one will not let single mom's take away my day as a Dad. The day that both my kids were born are the 2 best days of my life. I love and honor my children and I am blessed to have both of them show love to me on Father's Day. Single moms get a grip and sit Father's Day out. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone and Peace to the Crea tures. 

Rashard Mendenhall's Bin Laden Comments, Amen Brother!!

Rashard Mendenhall is a pro football running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers(my favorite team). He's from Skokie,Illinois the town next to where I live in Evanston. He comes to the same barber shop I do when he's here in the off season. I have talked to him and his brother Walter. They are good people and good Christians folks. He's embroiled in a controversy about comments he made on twitter about Bin Laden's death. Here are some of the comments:  Mendenhall implied a 9/11 conspiracy, writing: “I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.” And:  “What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side…”  He also said and I am paraphrasing: "Why are we celebrating the death of Bin Laden, and how would God feel about that"? I say right on Rashard. People in America can't handle the truth or wrap themselves around the fact that our government orchestrated 9./11. But they can wrap themselves around the American flag. While you might not agree with what Rashard said, he has a right to say it. He's an American and last I checked Freedom of Speech is in that stupid document called "The Constitution". But I guess it doesn't apply to black men or athletes? They lied about weapons of mass destruction, they lied about Sadam being the cause of 9/11. What makes you think the government is not lying about Bin Laden being the cause of 9/11 now? And if they did(which I believe they did) why chase Bin Laden at all? Why waste soldiers lives, American tax payer money, and the sweat and tears of other Americans chasing this guy? And also celebrating Bin Laden's death means you celebrate war. We as Americans bomb other cities from and countries from afar, kill other cultures women and children. Then we have the nerve to call those folks terrorists? Also if you think our government would not kill our own then reference Kent State in 1970. This is where students were staging a peaceful protest and the National Guard opened fire unprovoked. Look it up. How quickly people forget? How quickly people forget? So if you think the United States government would not kill over 3000 people in 9/11 demolition then you are blind as Stevie Wonder. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone and Peace to the creatures.      

Osama Bin Laden's Death(Again) And Bush's Bosom Buddy Is Gone

As most have heard Osama Bin Laden was killed yesterday if you believe the government and media. I will say this has given Barrack Obama another term in the Presidency. I believe Bin Laden has been dead for some time now. He was on dialysis for his kidneys in 2001, he received treatment in a Kuwait hospital in December 2001. The Muslim world is laughing at us right now for believing the media and government. Now his body is supposedly buried at sea, what will they think of next? As for folks that believe he was responsible for 9/11, try NO!!!!!!!!!! The 9/11 attacks were sponsored by the good ole United States Government and the Bilderberg Group. I guess now folks think terrorism has ended. I don't think so. Americans believe anything the government and media tell them. Bin Ladens family owns a huge building in Boston, also they made the flavoring that goes into Coca Cola products. They could have killed us at any time. And there are many cells operating on their own in terrorism. It's funny Americans believe what the media and government tell them but don't believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God.   Bin Laden family and the Bush family have been friends centuries, their common denominator? Oil and lots of it. It's all connected and why did Bush fly Bin Ladens family out of the country on September 12th, 2001? I will let you folks think about that one for awhile. Also Americans have been brainwashed to think a certain way since we started kindergarten. These things are: love your country, believe that the government has your best interest in heart, believe that the government is right about everything, believe everything the media puts out there, and believe this is a Nation Under God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a croc and they can sell me the Brooklyn Bridge. So no I don't believe Bin Laden just died, he's been dead for years. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone. Take care. 

Cameron Newton Number 1 to Panthers And Racism From Media

Hello folks, I'm back at it again. First of all congradulations to Cameron Newton of Auburn going Number 1 in the NFL Draft. The Carolina Panthers picked the 6 foot 6 250 pound QB at the top of the draft. I have found it funny all the racist comments coming from talking heads like Tood McShay and Mel Kiper Jr among others. Lack of intelligence, can he learn an NFL offense, can he learn to play under center, etc? These are legit questions but they are also legit for all the other QB's in this draft. No different for Newton, than for Blake Gabbert,Jake Locker,or any of the others. But the focus on Newton because he's black is sickening. This is 2011, you would have thought racism would be gone by now. These same intelligence questions and reading of defenses accompanied Warren Moon when he came out of the University of Washington back in 1978. Most know now Moon had to go to Canada and tear it up for 6 years there, with multiple Grey Bowl victories. They he finally was afforded a chance in the NFL, and became a Hall Of Famer. All Newton did this past year was win a National Championship, the Heisman Trophy, and get drafted Number 1. If this was a white QB they would be treating him like the second coming(Tim Tebow anyone?). Also Newton won a National Championship in Junior College. He's a flat out winner and would be called gritty and a great leader if he was a white QB. He did what was asked of him on offense at Auburn. Yes the offense was simple spread read option, but Gabbert was in the same kind of offense and Locker wasn't under center much either. And why did the fans boo Newton at the NFL Draft? Was it jealousy, was it racism,or was it their team didn't get Newton? I feel it was all of the above and Newton is going to make all those talking heads eat their words, just like Moon did and Michael Vick is doing. Good luck and blessings to you Cameron Newton. Go and lead Carolina to great heights, I for one will be rooting for you. This is my rant for todaty. God Bless everyone and have a wonderful weekend.

Gas Prices Going Up It's The Rockefeller's Fault

Here we go again with gas prices going up and up and up. The cause of this is the Rockefeller family. Why do I say this? Because they have had a monopoly over gas for over a century. In the early 1900's John D Rockefeller had a monopoly over the gas companies. He had to go in front of Congress and testify. Congress decided he had to give up his oil companies. So he did but he didn't. He put figure heads(which were still under him) to run the oil companies. Exxon,Mobil,Shell,Marathon, do these oil companies sound familiar? They still are in existence today and the Rockefellers also own BP through Dick Cheney. They have a monopoly on the oil industry. This is why America exports oil when we don't have to. We have oil refineries in this country to last us thousands of years. But we don't use it. Why? So the price of oil can be driven up and the Rockefellers can keep being the robber barrons that they always have been. I know somebody is going to say "Well the Rockefeller foundation has helped lots of people". Yes this is true but they have to put up a front so that they can keep robbing the world blind. And David Rockefeller is in charge of the "Bilderberg Group" that who's sole intention is to have a New World Order. So you want gas prices to drop? You need to boycott all things Rockefeller, take some money out of their pockets. Maybe then they will stop robbing us like the Sheriff of Nothingham robbed the common folks in the movie "Robin Hood". We are citizens of the world need to open our eyes and start asking "Where's the Money Going? when gas prices are raised. This is my rant for today. Take care folks.

Jereme Richmond's NBA Decision and also Shelvin Mack's

Hello everyone, it's been awhile since I have posted on here. I have been busy. First, Jereme Richmond of Illinois, he just finished his freshman year at Illinois. I have talked to the kid a few times, I know his brother Bill very well. This does not mean I am in Jereme's inner circle or anything. I have heard rumors of his problems academically at Illinois. He seems to have been backed into a corner to declare for the NBA Draft. Any event I think it is a mistake for him to go to the NBA right now. He needs another year of seasoning and to restore his reputation with NBA personnel. His talent is undeniable, except he needs strength and a better and more confident jump shot from 20 feet and beyond. He is going to have to hope that some teams wants to take the time to develop him and help him to grow up. It's time for him to take responsibility for the rumored fights with his teammates and problems with his coaches. Whether some of the incidents are his fault or not, it still comes back to Jereme. Yes his point guard McCamey would not pass him the ball when he was open to save his life. And it is touch playing with someone like that, he has to learn to handle it in a different way. One thing about Jereme though, it could be worse, he has never committed a crime or been arrested so he's ahead of the curve on this more than other prospects. Saying all this I wish Jereme the best of success and hope he has a long and prosperous career in the NBA.     As for my cousin Shelvin Mack of Butler, he has nothing more to prove in college. He is as ready as he is going to be for the NBA, he does have to improve his ball handling and work on his passing a little, but besides wanting to finish his degree (which he can do in the summers and over the internet), he should stay in the draft. He's a solid first round pick and has a clean record with teammates and on the police blotter. Blesssings to you cousin and I'll come to games when you play in Chicago. Back to Jereme Richmond, he could also improve his stock in interviews with teams and workouts with the NBA Teams. I think he could move up into the 1st round by the time it's all said and done. 1st round IS GUARANTEED MONEY BABY!!!!!!!!!!! 2nd round you have to earn your way onto the team. This is my rant for today. Take care everyone.       

Class 4A and 3A Supersectional Picks Illinois High School Basketball

Hi folks I'm back with my Supersectional picks. In Illinois the Supersectional is the game that advances you to the State Semi Finals in Peoria,Illinois. It's been an exciting season but here's my picks for Tuesday's Games. I'll be at the Hinsdale Supersectional for the 4A game between Defending Champion Simeon(Chicago) vs Farragut(Chicago).Farragut is coming off an upset of Whitney Young(Chicago). This is a Public League Battle that promises to be a WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So here it goes: Hinsdale Central Simeon(Chicago) over Farragut(Chicago). Dekalb(Northern Illinois University) Glenbard East(Lombard) over Auburn(Rockford). Glenbard East gets to it's first state final ever. Waukegan   Warren(Gurnee) over Niles North(Skokie), This is Niles North's first Supersectional in school history but Warren has too many weapons. And finally in 4A Normal(Illinois State University)    Crete Monee(Crete) over Normal Community(Normal), Crete Monee is in it's first Supersectional in school history Normal's first since 1976. Crete Monee has too much firepower for Normal.   IN 3A Dekalb(Northern Illinois University) Rock Island over Central Catholic(Aurora), at Hoffman Estates Crane(Chicago) over North Chicago, at Central(Joliet) Brooks(Chicago) over Lindbloom(Chicago), at Springfield(Prairie Capitol Convention Center) Centralia over Morton. We are close to the end of the season. My champs 4A Simeon(Chicago) will repeat and in 3A Brooks(Chicago) will win in only their 8th year of existence for the school. This is my rant for today. Peace to the creatures.

4A and 3A Illinois Boys High School Basketball Sectional Picks (Tuesday's Games)

Well Regionals are done. Some minor upsets but we  move on. Sectional Picks. I will start in 4A: at Algonquin(Jacobs) Elgin over Huntley, at East Aurora undefeated Benet(Lisle) over East Aurora and the one man show of Ryan Boatright, at Barrington Warren(Gurnee) over Fremd(Palatine),  at York(Elmhurst) Whitney Young(Chicago) over DeLaSalle(Chicago), at Granite City East St Louis over Alton, at Thornwood (South Holland) Thornton(Harvey) over Lockport, at Argo(Summit) Simeon(Chicago) over Mt Carmel(Chicago), at New Trier (Winnetka) Schaumburg over Niles West(Skokie). Boatright could lead his East Aurora team to an upset I just think 7 footer Frank Kaminsky(Benet) could be too much size for the Tomcats.  Whitney Young-DeLaSalle game will be the most interesting to watch. 15 Division One prospects will be playing in that game. DeLaSalle's Michael Shaw(Illinois signee) and Whitney Young's Sam Thompson(Ohio State signee) will be butting heads all  night. If Dre Henley(6 foot 6 guard/forward) could be the X factor for DeLaSalle to win the game. 3A picks: at King(Chicago) King(Chicago) over Hope(Chicago)  at McArthur(Decatur) Washington over Southeast(Springfield), at Jerseyville(Jersey) Centralia over Highland, at Norridge(Ridgewood) North Chicago over Grayslake Central, at Peoria undefeated Notre Dame(Peoria) over Peoria, at Richton Park(Rich South) Brooks(Chicago) over Thornton Fractional North(Calumet City), at Riverside Brookfield Crane(Chicago) over Wheaton Academy(West Chicago), at Woodstock(North)  Central(Crystal Lake) over East(Rockford). 3A has some very unbalanced sectionals with some weak ones and strong  teams stuck knocking each other out. Best game should be Brooks(Chicago) and TF North, Brooks has probably the best backcourt in the state with George Marshall(Wisconsin signee) and Michael Powell. I will do Wednesday's games tomorrow. That's my rant for today. Peace to the creatures.

Crook elected Chicago Mayor and Postseason High School Basketball

I'M BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! It's been awhile since I ranted about anything so time to catch up. To start with Chicago elected( put in by the Bilderberg Group) Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago. This has been set up by the Bilderberg Group for a few years now. The fix has been in longer than people think. He will forward the group's agenda by taxing everything even haircuts. Also look for a civilian police force filled by illegal immigrants in the near future. Yes he's Obama's boy but nobody focused on Emanuel was an executive in the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac mess. Mr Chico brought it up then all of a sudden it want away. President Obama as I have stated before is a puppet for those evil forces running the Bilderberg Group. Read Revelations in the Bible, the folks that work for the beast will fool everyone, even clergymen. These guys are the agents put in place to imprison Christians. You hear Obama the other day say that Gay Marriages should be okay? He's supposed to be a Christian President(or so I thought). Oh well "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN". REALLY???????             Now onto the end of the high school basketball season: What a week of basketball. Monday I saw Jewell Loyd of Niles West (number 6 junior in the nation according to hoopgurlz.com) put on a show with 22 points. Tuesday Anthony Dvis of Perspectives Charter (Chicago) hit #4 DeLaSalle with 25 points and 25 rebounds in a 70-49 loss. Wednesday watched Evanston lose the conference title to Niles North and Division One prospect 6 foot 7 Abdul Nader who had 32 points on Evanston's home floor. They avenged an earlier loss to Evanston. Thursday saw Jewell  Loyd and Niles West's season end in overtime at the hands of Maine South.       The 3A and 4A boys playoffs begin next week. Favorites in 3A, Morgan Park(Chicago), City Champ Brooks(Chicago), undefeated Notre Dame (Peoria) and Rock Island. Favorites in 4A, Undefeated Benet(Lisle) who's coming off a huge victory over Simeon (Chicago) defending state champ. Other favorites 10 loss Whitney Young(Chicago), DeLaSalle (Chicago),  Warren(Gurnee), Thornton(Harvey) and O'Fallon. Should be an interesting and exciting post season. This is my rant for today. Peace to the creatures.

Leave Jay Cutler Alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Chicago and I know people here are disappointed that the Bears lost to Green Bay in the NFC Title Game. Their quarterback Jay Cutler had to leave the game in the third quarter with a knee injury. People are questioning his toughness (or lack thereof) in Chicago and all over the country. I will say I am not a Bears fan, I am a Steelers fan. I feel that Cutler is very tough standing in there this year with a porous offensive line. No complaints just tried his best to play QB in the NFL for the Bears. A torn MCL is nothing to play around with. Thing is people (as usual) rushed to judgement about his toughness. I say those folks are a bunch of idiots who have no clue about the game of football. I will say try and go cut, and move with a torn MCL and see how you the ordinary person fares with that prospect? Now maybe his demeanor on the sideline wasn't good enough for you yahoos. Too bad. We are all built differently and deal with adverse situations differently. There is not a book on how to deal with an injury that takes you out of the biggest game of your career. Stop throwing stones at Cutler. HE'S better than any QB the Bears have had in a long time. So support the guy and maybe he'll get the Bears back to the Super Bowl. And GO STEELERS AND THE STEEL CURTAIN IN THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

AAU and Summer Basketball: A bunch of scoundrels

Well to start with I coached in an AAU Basketball program for one spring. I did not enjoy it much at all. I will expound on my reasons that summer basketball has ruined the game. 1) Too many games in the spring and summer: Yes it's good that these kids are being seen by scouts but it's too much. Kids need to work just as much individually on their skills as they do playing games. Fundamentals are almost non existent these days. 2) So called "coaches": Most of these guys are not coaches at all, they are guys who are enslaved by the shoe companies trying to get their "brand name" out there. Also these coaches are selling their players to the highest bidder. They get into these kids lives as early as 9 years old and establish a "relationship" with these kids. 3) Shoe companies: The shoe companies are having these kids were their products, giving them free shoes,gear, and such. These are bribes to get this kid to wear their shoe IF they get to the NBA. Also the kids get a warped sense of reality, they think since they took the gear it's okay to take money from boosters when they get to college. 4) The High School Coach: Some of these guys double as summer basketball coaches but if the high school coach was not withholding recruiting mail from the kids, you would not need the summer basketball coach at all. So the high school coach is just as at fault as the summer basketball coach. 5) The crooks that run the events: These guys are only out to try and get a buck from these kids that's really it. They disguising it as saying "I am trying to help the kids". NO YOU'RE NOT!!!!!!!!! It's exploitation at it's best. Then when they run camps like the "Lebron James Skills Academy". It's a meat market for college coaches. It's almost like cattle or a horse sale that they run at Keeneland for the thoroughbreds. I will say one positive is more kids are getting seen by colleges but at what price? When these scoundrels stop exploiting these kids maybe the quality of basketball in the NBA will go back up to previous levels. Until then the quality of play will get worse. Some blame it on high school players or kids coming to the pros early. Remember there have always been busts that came out of college as juniors and seniors also. Ed and Charles O'Bannon to name 2. This is my rant for today. Have a blessed day folks.

Holiday Basketball Tournaments Illinois High School Basketball

Well I got around to more than a few holiday tournaments during the holiday season. I got to the Proviso West,McDipper, and Chicago Public Schools Tournaments. Here's my take on what I saw: Best Teams: Thornton(Harvey)-This is the best team I saw over the holidays, Brian Green Jr is a division one prospect. He's 6 foot 3 athletic guard who has a great midrange game and can shoot the three also. He absolutely dominated the McDipper in leading Thornton to the title. Thornton also is very athletic, crashes the boards and has a good back court along with a good frontcourt. Will be a tough team to beat. Benet(Lisle)-They won the Proviso West tournament. They are a good team lead by Northwestern signee point guard David Soblewski who was MVP of the tourney. Very good team but I see some weaknesses down the line for them. A great three point shooting team though and Frank Kaminsky the 7 footer headed to Wisconsin is a force inside. Farragut(Chicago)- Very underrated team in the Chicago Public League. Dee Toliver and Rashaun Stimage who is the next great big man at Farragut. Could be a darkhorse for the City Title. Will challenge Whitney Young(Chicago) in the Red West.      Players: Brian Green Jr(described above), David Soblewksi (described above),James Crockett (Crete Monee) 6 foot 4 forward athelticism off the charts led his team to the Finals of the McDipper and showed an improved jumper. Still needs work on perimeter game before he gets to DePaul. Julian Lewis (Homewood-Flossmoor) 6 foot 5- took his team on his back to a runner up finish at Proviso West. He's a junior who is moving up in the Class of 2012 charts. He is a 2 guard in college who can play some point. Was in foul trouble in the title game. Rashaun Stimage (Farragut)- 6 foot 7 poward forward who is good on the boards and can score inside. Another junior who could move up the charts and who's recruiting has taken off. Kierre Woods (Crane) Chicago- 6 foot 1 guard who is a junk yard dog. Plays out of control right now but took his team on his back to runnerup finish in the Chicago Public League Holiday Tournament. Rumor is he's headed to junior college. Well this is my rant for today. More to come.
