Let's Just Keep It Real

I have a question for you. What tunes are you dancing to? For me, I love to dance but some tunes are not for me. So with that being said, I don't follow behind just anybody's leadership. The truth be told: not everybody is equipped to be a leader. Some are followers.

My question to you is who and what are you following?

Previously, I was in some situation when I kept having bunkmate problems where I was living. This old bunkmate wanted to control me, mistreat me, talked about me and caused others to turn against me. She was very manipulative, so anything she said was very persuasive to the ears of the weak-minded. So she went to the staff and lied to them to get moved. After moved out, you would have thought, "Hey, this is settled. I am out of the noon with her." Absolutely not. Every inmate I get now, she went to and fed negativity into their minds. Guess what? I continue to have problems.

So I said, "Let me tell someone in authority. These people are messing with me." I explained the situation. Guess what? I got moved out of the building by the staff, as if I am the problem when they were actually the problem. I will not change my morals or values for no one. Dealing with these weak-minded individuals could have caused me to lower my moral value by just stooping to their levels. Even the staff; they were wrong for moving out of the building. I could have said or done something because I was the one being wronged. I have remained quiet. Why stoop to their level?

I am an equipped leader, not a follower. When you an equipped leader, you become a threat to certain type of people. What type of people are we talking about? Jealous and covetous people. They see your strengths in areas that they lack. People who come after you to destroy your character or ideals always try to bring weak-minded people whom think just like them. "I don't like him or her either." So they congregate together.

That's why it is easy for people to go up and kill innocent immigrants. Because why? Our own president doesn't even want them over here because they aren't "nothing but terrorists". If he, the president, feels that way, I feel him on that. I hate them too, weak-minded people. Michale Flynn gets fired but Jeff Session gets to stay in. He lied under oath. That is perjury. If Michael Flynn is out the door, guess Jeff Sessions needs to be gone.

So now we play favorites in the White House. Just like my mother-in-law, they put you out and you didn't do anything. But these three individuals were doing a lot. She wants to know why they have not been moved out the building. So why? Why has Donald Trump fired the US Attorney of New York who was on the Obama staff when he didn't do anything wrong?

The people of the United States need to make sure Jeff Sessions is out. He did do something: lied. Ever since Donald Trump has been in the chair, it's been drama, scheming and lies about the things Donald Trump or his staff have done. The average citizen, mayor or senator would have been in prison or jail. I heard one political figure use the phrase, "Change is not easy." I agree. But where is solid foundation for all American people, including immigrants?

Can I explain what's going on with the government? When I was the leader of the Praise Team and other positions of leadership, everybody wanted to put their hands in the pod. Some ideas I knew would bring disaster to others and the team, so I ruled them out. They got mad and went to my boss. I was constantly in the principal's office. Being a leader doesn't mean you step on people, cause them harm to them or mistreat them. When I made decisions for my team and the people, I ruled out anything that didn't help everyone. I ruled it out quick. I always thought this through the whole process. If I do this, what will I affect? What's the benefit for everyone? I never jumped to conclusions about anyone or assumed anything. I had all my facts straight. I never reply to all comments because some comments are not worth answering. Because you come down on that person's level of stupidity. When people criticize me, I weigh everything they said. What do I mean by that? I did self-evaluation because sometimes we can be blind to our own flaws. If it was me, guess what? I worked on that area till I overcame it.

I never opposed people. What do I mean by this? The American government was talking about stamping immigrant license when there was no proof of voter fraud. Why? Because we want to. That's not right, American people. We got to stop harassing and oppressing people, and singling people out. At the end of the day, there will be a judgment day. Everybody will have to answer to God for how they trust others and how we lived our lives. I want to say these same words to the United States government, United Nations, and the continent.

This is something that I told to my team as a leader: everybody can't be the leader. Someone's got to be the follower, but what are you following? Who are you following, and where are you going? So many people are hungry to give orders but they are not equipped to lead. So with that being said, you need to take the back seat. Sit down. Every one of you wants to have confusion. Have a group of people together to do something.

The people on my team used to do me like that, everybody just giving orders. I said, "Hold up. This is what we're going to do." Yes, I was open to suggestions, but when the suggestion was going to cause destruction or chaos, my answer was absolutely no. Did I care that they got mad? Absolutely not.

Being a leader, you have to have some backbone about yourself. One thing about people: they can be wishy-washy. They will like one day and hate your guts the next day. Being leader, you cannot get caught up in being an emotional roller coaster. Being a leader, you cannot be a coward. When you called out on something you did wrong? The people will respect you more if you say, "Yes, I was wrong for such-and-such. Please forgive me." Even if they don't forgive you, you forgive yourself. Keep it moving because, at the end of the day, you have to answer to God and they must be forgiving of others.

Trump slams Chicago. Residents say, "Come and fix it."

First of all, the worst thing you can do in life is step on somebody while they're already down. Let me ask you this, Chicago: do you really want the military and feds to come into your community? Think about what you're asking for. Never get desperate in a situation in where you ask the wrong people for help because Donald Trump help is not the correct help. See how government is right now? Then it was said that the mayor could do nothing about the gun violence.

Why does Trump keep singling out Chicago? Donald Trump does this all the time, but when somebody singles him out such as the media, then they are the bad people. But what Mr. Trump fails to realize is that Matthew 7:1,2 Jesus tells us to examine our own motives and conduct instead of judging others. That the traits that bother us and others are often the habits and behavior patterns are the very ones that we most want to change in others. Do you find it easy to magnify other's faults while excusing your own? If you are ready to criticize someone, check to see if you deserve the same criticism. Judge yourself first and then lovingly forgive and help your neighbor.

Donald Trump considers himself Christian. Check this out. The ones who reach out to Donald Trump and told him how he could help Chicago, how many of them were Christians? You don't have to tell me, I am a woman of God. I can feel when my people are involved.

Basically, so many words this man has told you all—he is better than you and arrogant with it. When you judge someone, you invariably consider yourself better, and that is arrogant. But he is willing to go out of his way to help these steel workers and build this pipeline in North Dakota, not caring about this sacred ground for the Indians. So what does it tell you? It's all about the money.

Now we got ISIS. We're sending our troops to help dismantle ISIS. Wasting taxpayers' dollars once again. We took the land, and yada yada. This scenario is for Chicago and ISIS situation. Both of these situations didn't come into effect real fast. These situations crept in like a snake, moving with extreme slowness. Now what you have is a snake pit, a place of disorder and chaos. These people are treacherous and marked by unforeseen hazards, dangerous or deceptive.

So now you have this snake pit full of snakes that have given birth to other snakes. Normally, when there is a snake pit, you have to shoot in there to kill all them snakes. Which I always told you, "Want a snake to die quickly? You have to cut off the head." But you see, that is not always there. We did the gang leaders, Al Queda leader, etc. So try to cut off the head of these snakes, but the snake had already given both to too many followers.

So now it's time to change course.

One of the things I have to say to the followers of radical Islam around the world who are killing people in Chicago: why continue to dance to the wrong music? All music doesn't sound good. Why let somebody get into your mind to tell you to do wrong? You don't have to be weak-minded or afraid of anyone. God or Allah didn't create you to kill anyone. It's to be a leader, not a follower for the wrong reason. You don't have to be a part of ISIS or the gang in the street life.

A lot of you have a conscious and you want to get out, but you're afraid. Don't be afraid.

I remember there was this girl in prison. She had her little gang. All they did was bully people around them and take their things. One day, the people who were following her left her. Said they were tired of living in chaos. She was all alone. Then she was weak because she didn't have a crowd to pump her up to do wrong.

So I encourage all the followers who are following people in the gangs street life or ISIS to leave those leaders all alone. They will stop all the foolishness. That's like an argument. It takes two to argue, but if you don't put wood on the fire, it will never be one.

Even though this is talking about something else, I am going to use it as an example. Proverbs 26:20: Without wood a fire goes out. Without gossip a quarrel dies down. Talking about every little irritation or piece of gossip only keeps the fires of anger going. Refusing to discuss them cuts the fuel line and makes the fires die out. Does somebody continuously irritate you? Decide not to complain about the person and see if your irritation dies from the lack of fuel. This same way, the followers need to stop following behind the false leaders of Islam or the gang leaders in the street life. This will cease all these foolish things going on and the innocent lives being taken. I promise you: if you leave these wrong ways of living, God and Allah will bless you.

Some of the followers of that one girl, when they said, "I am not going to follow you anymore," their blessings begin to follow. Some got to go home. They weren't supposed to get out of prison in a long time.

God and Allah has better plans for you. But you have to stop following the wrong people. 'Cause you are cutting off your blessings.

People, wake up. I believe in going to the table and all that. Laying out ideas on the table to get the leaders to think about them. How can you expect someone to care about education when they took it from their own university? This would be the last person I would ask to help me concerning education. Shoot, they may take your money.

Trump is not attending correspondent dinners. Only a coward would run from the media. If you don't want people to call you out, stop doing what you are doing. Stop lying about things that never happened.

What Donald Trump and staff have to realize is that nobody in America is going to exclude. To abide by the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the Amendments, just like the citizen of the United States. The political tyrants have to do so as well. We don't create rules in America to harm people or just do what we want in America. We have rules that we all have to abide to. Nobody is above the law of the land.

Perez vows that the president is to serve one term. I feel he should have been impeached. Just my opinion.
