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.
