A BELATED MOTHER’S DAY

CHERISH THE ONES WHO RAISE you

By: Editor C. Harrison

Happy belated Mother’s Day…I must tell you that I posted on my face book page a vignette, an evocative faze, if you will. The theme (A Mother’s World). Here I am going to put a slyer to it.

Mothers are suppose to be a light of beam after all they are the beacons of this world without them there is no us; thus, let me also speak to those people, strangers  who had to step in or through no fault of their own had to become mothers…this scenario put in this way, also  includes some father who had to raised children on their own being both mother and father. In this big wide world there are children who were raised in nothing short of hell and some today, are going through that same hell with parents or those in charge of raising them.

I say this because we know that not every mother or father is parents to their children. Some parents don’t even know where their children are, others don’t care. But for those who stood by their children,  raise them to become productive law abiding adults those children sing their praises.

A mother to the world  is the hope of creation ensuring  the continuum of evolution thus generations to come. We Cherish and bless them because their work is never done even when children are grown.

Even in death, they seem to cast a spell on how things are to be done and we comply to their ether wisdom and walk in their foots steps.

Every mother should play their role effectively it does not have to be perfect, your child or children will know the difference. For those that are doing it half heartedly people know. You must try.

To both of my mothers my birth mom and my adoptive mom whom are both looking down on me from heaven thank you both very much. Both of you are missed.  I became that law abiding productive adult.

By Editor : C. Harrison/4/17/2018

New York, NY…The George Stephanopoulos solicited interview with former Director of the FBI James Comey,  was in all sense of an interview  scorching,  some called it blistering. In a sense Comey took out three people in one setting; ahead of his memoir  “Higher Loyalty,” which is a damming book of evidence depicting who the President really is.

Three folds for this Journalist; One on the argument that thousands of state department emails  were found on former Secretary of State Hillary  Clinton’s personal advisor Huma  Abedin’s , computer the same computer use by her husband Anthony Weiner.  At the 11 hour of the 2016 election Comey told the world what they had found, thus throwing the  election  in favor of  Donald Trump.

Comey said that he could not wait to tell the world that the FBI had found Clinton’s email because had she win and it was found out Clinton would become  ill-legitimate and the FBI and other institutions would never recover from it. Really, was this a fact or was this Comey’s belief.

I believe that Comey even though he was under the guise that Hillary was a forgone winner got frighten and panic. Remember  Clinton, did not win yet there was still time for toast up. The 2016,  election was a big deal, an historical moment in time and quite possibly the beginning of a phenomenon in America. The noble idea of a United States women President, was not something some men in America catch on to yet or cemented in their heads yet…Comey,  in his humble and noble ways had a foresight on this notion. The question is,  did Comey pick-up on this novelty and decided to stop history in its track?. Remember,  not every man want a women to rule them and this is a systemic argument nation wide, even though it was happening all over the world already. Keep in mind Comey was a Republican. He just change side  because of a Republican website depicting him a liar.

Secondly, Comey put Loretta  Lynch….Former National Security Advisor, under a microscopes in my book,  for no good reason because he couldn’t  seem to get through his head that just because there was an ongoing investigation on Hillary, that  Lynch,  could not be impartial via stay in engaged & committed to the investigation at hand and at the same time be courteous and professional in her post. What factor did he have to say Lynch  warned or told-let the puss out of the bag ? He had no factual information she told Clinton anything on the tarmac and shouldn’t have put her in such a corner. He presumed and that was not good.

Thirdly, Comey said the President is not fit to be President or to run this country. A sentiment share by almost everyone with a voice; this in part because of what the President is doing, has done and don’t understand, or if he does, don’t care .  Here again, for the 20/20 election,   Comey seems like he wants  to diminish history regarding the impeachment of the President. He said that it should be left up to the people and the voting process to up held justice.  Is he right.?

Again, that is a fine vice but, it is also a chance for Trump to get out of his damming hot water. You see, Trump supporters see the hold liable actions by the Government against the Donald  has him and them against everyone else and will support him regardless. That chance cannot be taken under any circumstances, it is too big a risk.

Mr. Comy we know that you have a righteous indignation towards your country and the zeal to do the right thing regardless but here, sir you kind of double talk.

Comey, other than this stench served his country perfectly through the bitter end.  Sir you did very well.

HE WANTS TO BE A MUSIC INDUSTRY CREME

Tre Norman The Music Protégé

 

Tre Norman

 

By: Editor C. Harrison/4/7/2018 @ 8:27 PM

New York, NY…. Tre Norman ‘s first album “The Jump” drops this summer and like most new artist he is a bit jittered. He contends that he was excited about the album and that he has been literally changing some things on the album, completely.  “I don’t think albums are done until they’re  release to the public.  “I feel good about it, I like it a lot,” articulated the 21 -year old. He not only a rapper he’s also a singer.

In a recent phone interview with this Journalist,  Tre  Norman stated  his reasons for wanting to become the next (Music Crème).   ” I believe I have what it takes to get there and my  feet’s are planted  firmly to the ground,” voiced the young prote`ge`..

From his tone and how he answered questions, like a pro…one can sincerely say that he has a good head on his shoulder and sounded  rooted enough, to  take on the journey he  must embark on,  ahead of the game.

In my book the album sounded like a  strong  contender to become a hit album,.  From what was heard this kid is not  running around with jokers, he seemed in-fact to have a sound base and a solid foundation. His voice and music, along with his lyrics were like listening to any one of a successful rap artist, including Chris Brown and Usher; not really sounding like them but in terms of polish-clean, well put together strong vocal tone and uniqueness.

The  (UNLV)  University of Nevada , Las Vegas graduate, reiterated again, that he and his team  did well enough for the album to become a hit and that he was excited. “I think we’re good, we have a lot going on and I think we’re on track. The album has some pains in it and when I say pain I am referring to relationships and cutting people out of my life,” explained Norman .

Explaining more on the the statement, Norman conquered that he was up and down with family issues. He said that making the album was like;   ” Making it through the storm and living to tell about it.”  Noting also that experience is the best teacher.

Conversely, one big note here, is that even though the protégé was having family issues, other family members were  his rock and confidant. Norman in no small measure idolize his older brother , who is a Rap artist and was one of the biggest influences, in his young life. His grandfather who was a Saxophonist also played a big part in young Norman’s life and as a young adult growing up. Grandpa played with a variety of musicians over his career.

One of Norman ‘s more vivid and memorable conversations with his grandfather was that  his grandfather told  him that he played for (The  Godfather), James Brown,  on one of his tours. The consensus here is that Norman is in good standing and in a good  place at this stage in his career.

In addition, the mannerable  sounding Norman, Imploded  further that his title song “Jump” and the title of the album “The Jump,” was the idea of  listening to a flict from Steve Harvey’s ‘Jump.’  “I listen to Steve’s flict and thought that it jumped (Like yow this jumps wow). He said, “My album is like a book put together.”

Moreover, the young aspiring rapper, also conquered that doing the album was like a mind set, a project that he focused on. He said the cost to him was a lot of money and that his family wanted him to pursue other dreams; like becoming a Doctor.

When prompted for more information on that statement he conceded that he always had good grades and that he have a Marketing Degree. (Which will no doubt come in handy for him in this business). The music scholar also quipped that the short term is that he have to sacrifice right now.

Norman is a public school student who through his grandmother’s church his parents got whipped of a boarding school in Mississippi called Tiny Woods. Tiny Woods School, is the largest African American Boarding School in Mississippi. The school carries a rich history of Southern Black History and caters to students 15-17 years old. Its housing is dormitory style, separating the girls from the boys. Tiny Woods School was established over 100 years ago by Dr. Larinu L. Jones.

It was here at Tiny Woods, that young Norman, just  15 years old, use music has his one contents companion and later used it to navigate his boarding school years;  learning more about himself. It was also here that Norman,  started experimenting with different music’s and wanted to share it with other people. Here furthermore, he learned to be himself and become more genuine to people.

Graduating boarding school, Norman entered UNLV, where in his Sophomore year, he sang “I am a Rebel,” at his Commencement Day ceremony,  where he mcced.  He said that it was after this tidbit of exposure that he cemented his decision to make music his career. He did it along with taking his regular classes.

Thus, it turned out that Norman who went on to joined the honors program at UNLV, graduated with not only a Professional Public Speaking Degree but also a  Marketing Degree. This, while all along, doing his music. The young multitalented rapper also wants to go into acting and  show-business. His sense of what he wants might just land him there.

When asked what more did he wanted to do in life?  He stated , “I want to travel to see all the diversity, I want to travel the world to expand my knowledge. If I were to go back to college, I would finish within a year. If it makes sense for me to go back to college after a few years  of  doing music then I will,” he said, finishing a most interesting interview.

CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH 2018

WOMEN ARE THE CRADLE OF LIFE

Editor C. Harrison standing proudly on the shoulders of those who paved the way

BY: Editor C. Harrison

Over the decades Women are told to be gentle we are told to be meek we are told to carry ourselves in a judicious way we are told not to speak until we are asked and when we do speak be mindful of what we say; Yes, we do all these things and then some.

Women are the cradle of civilization. We were there in the beginning and no doubt we will be there in the end. Women stood beside great men of our times, not saying much that one could hear but saying everything in monumental waves that these great men had to listen to guide civilization along to its fruition.

Women are courageous, symmetrical, mystical, sensuous, powerful, surreal, beautiful, contagious, analytical, and can be cantankerous at he same time, some even notorious, to name a few things

Everyone like to say “This is a man’s world” well, it is, with guide and permissiveness from us towards  our men . We are the driving force behind men.  With out us,  there would be no them. To every strong great intellectual  ‘spicemen of a man’ on earth;  there is an even stronger victorious women standing behind him allowing him to succeed.

Show me a man who is successful in his own right, is to, show me that women standing by his side, even if that women is not his wife or girlfriend or women and she is standing in the shadows. She’s there

Here I want to commend a few great women that have paved the path ways and allow us to be who we are today.: The great warrior Queen  Granny Nanny, who fought off Portuguese and English soldier, Queen of Sheba, The great African Queen, Natitota, who made it possible for the abolishing  of the trans-Atlantic slave trade slaves. She moved the world thus freeing the slaves,  Maya Angelo, a pillow  of strength gone but not for gotten, Shirley  Chisholm, fight the good fight to pave the way, Herriot Tubman, the American abolitionist who freed seventy slaves, Oprah Winfrey, show us how to live and be inspired and put our decorum’s in check

Charlene Hunter Gaul, stood her ground,  Susan Rice, former National Security Advisor to the U.S., showed us what patience is all about, she was denied so many times in her conformation  for her post it confused many.  Linda Brown, like Rosa Parker, made the first civil right  decisions,  Hillary Clinton, stand strong and tall in the face of her adversaries,  Michelle Obama, first black, First Lady in U.S.  history, had to summons inbred strength and wisdom to over come scrutiny and Portia Simons Miller, the first women President of Jamaica West Indies, I can’t begin to put into language her obstacles to become President; lastly, my mentor Dr. Prof. Maureen Williams  a native American, she had to climb mountains to claim her rights … just to  name a few. My hats off to them. To day, I stand on their shoulders and hope that one day I too can join their ranks .
