  Will they ever vote again, after realizing that honesty doesn't matter? It's money and interests of a few men that win elections. Democracy deferred. "We must stop that woman." And they stopped Kamala Harris and ordinary Americans. Nonqaba waka Msimang Blogger Without Borders

He means it when he thinks the flag is his personal property.  "When someone shows you who they are, believe them ," said Maya Angelou the African American poet and writer, who passed away. The Harris/Walz campaign is determined to stop him in his tracks. "We not going back," is their battle cry. Nonqaba waka Msimang Blogger Without Borders

Donald Trump has his teddy bear back, with Elon Musk providing a million dollar (literally) play pen. Dark clouds over America because Trump promised them, but it's another story for the rest of the world. Donald Trump's persona and hygiene situation will keep the world in titers.

We don’t take calls from unknown numbers because it is usually computers calling. How do they get our numbers? From the data market place. Our life is for sale because we freely give our names, contact information, birthdays to the internet when we click SIGN UP for this and that. Then there’s the promise of money. We have all these ‘wonderful’ people telling us how to make $5,000 a day based on ‘free’ information they provide. Oops! But you must type in your personal information first. Birthdays are the most lethal because we jump for joy when the whole world wishes us happy birthday. Do you know how much data is extracted from that date? Happy birthday artificial intelligence. May you live long. But, we shall not take calls from computers. Nonqaba waka Msimang Blogger Without Borders

"Are you ready to order maa'm? "Yes. I'll have two spinach leaves, chopped to, about this size." "Excuse me?" "Yes un-cooked chopped spinach. Organic." I’m always hungry something that used to bug mama. She swore that I had uninvited guests: worms that ate my food leaving my stomach empty once again.  I eat because I’m alive. That is why I would like to see food in movies.   Unfortunately, Hollywood doesn’t do food, beautiful well-laid tables with gleaming cutlery and rainbow place settings yes, but no food. I think it is in the contract of those electricity pole actresses with the clause,  no food in   the script . Remaining thin is the only way they can keep getting work. I cannot imagine a world without food. Maybe it has everything to do with mama, who swore her child (me) would never go hungry, ‘ as long as I’m still alive.’  That is what she said. You better believe it. Being a mother is incredible, isn’t it? Living in Toronto exposed me

I regret not learning how to ride a bike, but then I didn't have one. Nobody did in the African part of town. White kids had bicycles in the white part of town near the ocean, where mama worked as a maid. Yes. I do regret past decisions. I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t. I’m not talking about wrong turns I took that led to my current state. I plead guilty to all of them: loving the wrong people; financing dreams that became a debt nightmare; thinking that one good turn deserves another; and listening to Oprah. Today’s blog is about the folly of believing in second hand smoke, if I can put it like that. Somebody didn’t like another person, passed it on to me then I treated that person badly. Misconception about people, stereotypes, grudges, generational hate are some of the things that made me treat people badly. Ignorance. That is what it was all about. If only I knew then, what I know now. I swallowed gossip and  disinformation, without chewing.  Example. Jilly says Tilly is bad. I

I don't.  Background : We are nothing, just observers but we shall continue to monitor the situation in Boulder and protect Shedeur. Coaches are like a cartel. They have tradition they want to preserve at all cost. They thought it was threatened in 2023, when Deion Sanders said hello to that Boulder mountain. He gave established coaches the benefit of doubt and accepted suggestions to make him succeed in his new job. It was a set up. Betrayed. Not this year.

Mr. Trump, why was your mug shot taken in Fulton County Georgia? Are reporters forbidden from asking him that? They should, if he loses and denies it again. A thief that stole the goat, cannot accuse another person of stealing the same goat he's hiding under his coat. I don't understand. What is the problem if Trump sows his election fraud lies, again? There is no fact-checking needed that he is the election thief because two indictments tell the story, and he doesn't want them to ever go to court. Delay. Delay. Delay. I don't understand, why the media cannot ask him two obvious questions: Mr. Trump, you are indicted in Georgia for trying to steal that state's election. What makes you think, you can repeat the same lies that led to the pending RICO case, called T he State of Georgia v Donald John Trump?  Mr. Trump, you are indicted in Washington D.C. for trying to stop the certification of the 2020 election and storming of the Capitol. You are the election thief, ar

American Express, VISA and other credit card peddlers are after me, the small business. I don’t have a business yet, but that’s another story. What’s your point then? I thought this blog was about movies and bank managers. Yes it is. Old movies have scenes where rich characters ask bank managers for loans. They usually got them because of school ties (no online universities back then). The bank manager and the borrower went to institutions like Eton, Cambridge, Oxford, Durham, Yale or Harvard. Time evolved and credit cards strolled along, but they were for the chosen few with accountants, because they are bad in math. Poor people know exactly how much they have in the bank and it’s usually three digits max. Drake, the rapper born and raised in Canada has so much cash, it gives him a headache, so he has accountants. Modern day graduates don’t deal with bank managers because of digital banking. In fact, students have credit cards as we speak, not pocket money as in ,  dollars and cents.

Some little Italian handbags cost $11 000 US. $11 000, change it into Nigerian naira = 8,580,000 $11 000, change it into South African rand = R192,514.30  I went to the bank today to check some errors. Yes indeed. Who said computers don’t make errors? There are two balances in every bank account. The balance you think you ought to have, and the balance left over, after the gardener has done some weeding. Why are banks such avid gardeners? Must they weed, when there are no weeds? This is bad news for me, because they end up yanking out baby flowers. Baby flowers? Yes, flowers in bud. I think they are prettier than full bloom. Flowers in bud remind me of pregnant women that are loved. Glowing, makes your skin shiver because we can never understand nature. Loved, because pregnancy doesn’t mean you are loved. Love? We cannot talk about banks and love in the same sentence

Attention everybody ready to commit election crimes for Donald Trump. You will be caught, tried and go to prison for nine years, like Tina Peters. Trump doesn't give a damn. When his aides told him that Vice President Pence was in danger at the Capitol on January 6, he said, "So what?" 12 August 2024 Verdict A Colorado jury found Tina Peters, a former Mesa County Clerk, guilty of seven of 10 counts related to, a 2021 breach of the Mesa County election system. She was convicted of three counts of: 1.  Attempting to influence a public official 2.  Conspiracy to attempt criminal impersonation 3.  Official misconduct 4.  Violation of duty 5.  Failure to comply with an order of the Secretary of State Tina Peters was a public servant but she believed Donald Trump’s lie that he won the 2020 election and that some how, machines that count ballots were also responsible for ‘robbing’ Trump. Tina Peters turned off cameras in the room with the machines and let in another Trump suppor

Photo Credit: Online pic. Background : It depends. Vice President Kamala Harris sees the tank as full, that will power America forward. Backwards is not an option. Donald Trump regards America as trash or garbage. How unpatriotic can you be? Luckily he's in America. In other countries he would be out of circulation, by now. Below is an old blog 13 November, 2023 about being positive or negative. ................................... Gas tank half full or half empty? It’s a state of mind. It is also related to your bank account. If it’s always half empty, it will translate into a half empty gas tank. Rich people are in the half full mode. Don’t even ask billionaires about the gas tank. They don’t know. They have people called fleet managers, that worry about gas, oil change and snow tires. They also have private planes. All societies teach kids to say the glass is half full. It’s called positive upbringing. Kids must look ahead and think the glass will be full at some stage, because

We voted cake! Let's steal the recipe a bakery made for 2024 Canada Day shall we? Honestly though, forward-looking Americans have already decided how they'll celebrate: lunch, dinner, picnic @ home, office BBQ in the park, basketball, football or soccer games. They are celebrating the act of voting. Results will come later. Thanx. Aaah! Aaah! But the U.S. presidential election is tomorrow 5 November? Yes indeed tomorrow, but there is flour and icing to be bought, strawberries to be fetched from the local farmer who might be a 30 minutes' ride away and deciding where the voting celebration is going to be. Definitely, not the rich uncle's house or famous auntie's beach house. Why not? Have you noticed that wealthy family members tend to be dictatorial? Oops! wrong description, especially for this election. There might be one in the room or on the ballot. Grandparents house will be ideal, if it they still live in the original house with a tree outside. Why celebrate no

I'm saying Quincy Jones wrote music because, we forget that someone sits down, conceives the idea, tries it out on a guitar or piano, then writes it down. We only remember the singer, not that person, not Quincy Jones, who has joined our ancestors. Quincy Jones with his friends Caiphus Semenya and Letta Mbulu. The South African husband and wife lived in the U.S. for many years and worked with Quincy Jones in some of his projects. ROOTS, the T.V. mini-series comes to mind. Lala ngoxolo!

Michael Roman, the coordinator of the fake elector scheme in states like Georgia and Arizona. He is a Trump co-defendant in the RICO case in Georgia. “In spite of the Trump Campaign’s efforts to give the fake electors’ votes the sheen of authenticity, they failed. The U.S. Senate Parliamentarian noted in correspondence by January 3 rd  that materials from the Trump team’s supposed electors in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico and Pennsylvania had “no seal of the state” and “no evidence votes were delivered by the executive of the state for signature by the electors and, as a result, these materials failed to meet the requirements of federal law." Similarly, the Senate Parliamentarian noted that the Trump team’s slates from Georgia, New Mexico and Pennsylvania appeared to violate another statute which requires the approval of the Governor for the substitution of electors. Meanwhile, the documents from Michigan and Wisconsin did not even arrive to Congress on time, so they also h

Photo Credit: online pic. I understand early voting for the November 5 presidential election in Georgia U.S.A., went through the roof. Extraordinary! Early voting numbers shattered. Reason? Fed up. Fed up of living in an anti-democracy state. 1.  Enemies of democracy tried to steal the 2020 election in broad daylight. 2.  Election Integrity Act. 3.  State Election Board. 4.  Liars accusing voting machines of lying. Fed up. So voters embraced early voting in unprecedented numbers because they’ve had it, up to here. Nonqaba waka Msimang Blogger Without Borders

Photo Credit: Online pic. That is what is great about elections. It levels the playing field because you are in that booth alone, talking to yourself. Nobody thinks you are crazy like on the street. Why do we look twice when we see someone talking to himself/herself on the pavement? We are just curious. Curiosity killed the cat, which is quite a feat because cats have nine lives. Voting is essentially talking to yourself, reassurance that you are doing the right thing, by yourself, for yourself and people around you. Well! You can’t be sure of that because friends and people at home can be devious. They talk the talk, but walk away from the talk when they are alone, in that booth. Therefore, we can safely say talking to yourself when voting is ‘good’ crazy. Real crazy is not voting at all, then turn around and complain about the government ‘ ad nauseam .’ Shut up, if you didn’t vote. Nonqaba waka Msimang Blogger Without Borders

Old pic.  Donald Trump wronged the American people.  Wheels of justice will turn again, after the presidential election. Are security agencies like the CIA and FBI on the alert about possible Trump violence after the November 5 election? They did not on January 6, 2021. It's still unbelievable that he could mount an operation of such magnitude under their nose. If Donald Trump does not win in 2024, he will unleash his fury so much, 6 January 2021 will look like a family cook-out. Nonqaba waka Msimang Executive Blogger

Mookie Betts and his team are baseball champs. You too, bet on yourself. Vote. Everybody on that ballot affects your life. Thanx. IS THIS TRUE? College football players that are Americans don’t vote. NFL players that are Americans don’t vote. NBA players that are Americans don’t vote. WNBA players that are Americans don’t vote. MLB players that are Americans don’t vote. NHL players that are Americans don’t vote. Professional tennis players that are Americans don’t vote. Professional track and field players that are Americans don’t vote. Don’t shoot me. It’s a supposition based on how voters are boxed. The traditional classification of labour, race, gender, religion, swing states   etcetera , is cast in stone but, there is no box for professional players. That is why I suppose they don’t vote or that their vote is immaterial. Is it because they have players’ associations that take care of their needs? I don’t know, but surely, they are Americans first and professional players second. Th

Background: "I have nothing to do with Project 2025," says Donald Trump.  But what he has been saying on the campaign trail these last two weeks is exactly that, a smorgasbord of: banana republic + nazism + Project 2025. Below is an old blog 29 January 2024  about Donald Trump's banana republic, work in progress. ------------------------   What is a banana republic? 1.  A country where one strong man rules with fear. 2.  A country where he usurped power, saying he’s the ruler, when he’s not. 3.  A country where the strong man ‘fixes’ election results to win. 4.  A country where there is one constitution: his own. 5.  A country where the said strong man does not recognize a sitting legitimately elected president. 6.

Jasmine Crockett, Texas Congresswoman says Democrats have 'more boots on the ground.' Use your passion to persuade people to vote. Below is an old blog 17 October 2024 about volunteers. ................................... There’s an extraordinary presidential election in the country called the U.S.A. Volunteers are some of the people that are ‘boots on the ground’ to quote Jasmine Crockett, Texas Congresswoman. ‘Boots on the ground’ are knocking on doors, spreading the word about the relevance of their chosen party. Boots on the ground are also on community radio stations, car wash, skate board park, hair salons, farmers’ co-ops, the gym everywhere, talking about the merits of their party. However, it’s not sunshine and roses. Volunteers must be patient. They will come across people who just want to talk, because they live alone, or because the people they live with don’t talk to them. That’s right. Every home has its dormant volcano. Patience is also crucial on the phone, co
