Making Black History: Would you support Larry Elder running for President?

[lightbulb27]

Larry Elder is likely running for President!! YEAHOO!!! This is good news to me, someone outside the system running.. maybe. This might be the first presidential campaign I get involved in.

I cannot disagree with a thing he's said...

And consider some good options that would make a viable..."dream team". At least in the minds of some...

Candace Owns?

Tulci Gabbard?

Should be some fun and educational history coming up soon...

I will at least give money if not work on his behalf

Glad to hear he's running, but wouldn't get involved

Don't care for him, meh

He's an "Uncle Tom"

Who is Larry Elder?

I'm in another country and I don't care

I don't really care about presidential elections, anyone who can win is usually undesirable and even if someone desirable did win, the victory would be short lived and likely set us up with investments that would soon enough fail.

The real game is figuring out how to change the environment to limit and decentralized power as to enable everyone to vote with their feet and wallets on every issue all the time not just among a few bad choices once every 4 years.

This unfortunately will not be accomplished from the white house precisely because the power to do so is the power to do the opposite.

[Dargil]

But other than actual (not J6) insurrection, our options are mostly limited to voting. And voting by party is more unreliable by the day. You have to be an idiot to vote for Mitch or Omar. Even municipal level elections are important.

[Opinion Owner]

@Dargil Your still playing their linear game for their control when the board is in fact not linear at all nor is their destination really desirable.

Learn about our Constitutional system and you will find a system of power designed to crippled by disagreement. Learn about the nature of liberty and you understand why our founders build the system to do just that.

Once you've come to understand both you may recognize what until seemed impossible really is the easiest path of them all.

For we are in the advantageous position of not needing or wanting to agree or retain any such power at all in a constitutional system designed to require our consent to operate.

We need merely get our friends and countrymen recognize this fact and demand they withdraw said consent. Leaving the tyrants who wish to lord over everyone little choice but to do so more openly without any consent at all.

[Dargil]

And how is that done?

[Opinion Owner]

@Dargil
Remember:

A) Liberty is about the right to take care of and decide for yourself. Those who desire Liberty have the advantage of not really needing or wanting the goverment to work. That means we can afford to break their system, and allow idiot liberals to sabotage their own system.

This is the key strategic advantage of small goverment Conservatives in America. We can use that advantage to cripple the left either by way of our own actions or even more frequently simply taking advantage of their shortsighted stupidity in selectively supporting their idiots on key conditions.

B) Our founders wrote our Constitution designed it to make it as easy as possible to do that because like us They felt the most important feature of a free goverment was the consent of the Governed. Also like us they felt Goverment had to be as limited and as local as possible. They gave us a tool use it.

C) Know the left's main strength is their ideology of power lines up very neatly with the common motivation for power of every politician. Our founders knew this and created a system of divided power precisely so that we could set the power lust of politicians against each other and thus keep all of them under control.
This is why we don't want cooperation in Washington we want State leaders jealously advancing their own agenda and Federal leaders fighting among themselfs.

[NewsReader]

He is not popular enough to win. I don't remember ever seeing him on the news. Only a couple of YouTube videos by influencers. Tim Scott would be a better choice if the candidate has to be black. Candace Owens? 0% chance of winning. Tulsi Gabbard? Her political policies and beliefs are too mixed and confusing. She doesn't fit into either party. If she runs as an Independent then her chances of winning are very low.

[lightbulb27]

I intended Tulsi/Candace as VP. Is Kamala can be VP, we can elect 8th graders with 3.0 GPA's.

[sage2021]

Didn't he just lose the race to be Governor of California?

I used to watch him many many years ago when he was an acting judge for the TV court show ''Moral Court." I think that would be a better fit for him than President of the United States 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Gummy_Cluster]

He lost the governor race to the worst governor in the country. And when on the campaign trail, a liberal woman with a gorilla mask, hit him in the head with an egg. We all hate Hillary, but if someone hit her in the head with an egg, they'd be six feet underground and pushing up daisies. Elder doesn't stand a snowball's chance of winning. It will be Trump or DeSantis.

[lightbulb27]

@Gummy_Cluster hard to beat the top dem in the dem state. Trump couldn't win there either.
He doesn't have much security like Hillary.
So you'd like to have someone who is threatening killer? That's fair, it is difficult to manage emotionally corrupt humans. Thats one reason I suspported trump... although he tends to incite them to higher rage as well.

[Gummy_Cluster]

Trump incites the shadow government. News channels aren't real. You've seen those montages where 100 lefties on the news say the same phrase verbatim. The shadow tells them what to say, and they say it.

[Leopard23]

Tutsi gabbard maybe. She was the only decent female politician the democrats had and they forced her out.

Candle owens maybe.

https://youtu.be/0cUQqPxw3hc

[Gummy_Cluster]

Tulsi is too smart, so she got out of politics and denounced the insane Democrat party. I never understood why she was a Democrat in the first place.

[docster]

in my opinion, all conservatives are welcome to run for the GOP nomination. If he does, I'll have to research his positions on the issues. After all, someone who runs as a Republican in California would be considered a borderline Democrat in my state.

[LiamJHayden]

Trump took 6 Million votes in California in 2020.

[Dargil]

I could but I favor Condoleezza Rice. Not only does she check 2 boxes but she also has a brain.

[lightbulb27]

another good pick, with experience to boot.

[Dargil]

My dislik-er and disagree-er. Both of you are obvious racists.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I also agree with what Larry says, but I reckon we need to hear about other issues/problems as well. If he’s the kind of bloke who would murder innocent animals just for fun, I wouldn’t support him.

[RolandCuthbert]

Of course not. What qualifications does Larry Elder possess to become President?

Would you support Tim Wise?

https://www.youtube.com/embed/x9WeQrC0DL8

[RolandCuthbert]

Oh, I just realized the context in which you posted Larry Elder running for President.

Why would Elder be an example of "Black" History? What has he done for "Black" people? How has he honored the struggles of "Black" heroes and heroines who opened the doors that we have walked through?

And why are you so disingenuous?

[lightbulb27]

"Making Black History" is my title.. not black history. If listen to what he said, he is honoring people by moving them forward in a positive direction, away from victimhood. He has spent his time researching and communicating, maybe some hear and believe and others don't. I've seen "video reviews" of black people being positive about what he is saying, at least interested. You'll have to ask black people what he's done for them... or maybe I will.
If I had a choice between LE/ CE (option A) vs Biden/Harris (option B), easy decision go option A!

Isn't any black person an example of black history? Frankly, I like that mindset better..."Make YOUR History" month. That says take action... the future.

You always thing I have a hidden agenda. My question seems direct and clear to me.

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, I say you are disingenuous. I mean that should be direct and clear. You know how popular Larry Elder is in the "Black" community, just like I know how popular Tim Wise is among racist "White" people. But I don't post those silly questions asking you if you like him.

You believe in race. The weirdest social construct in the history of constructs. I believe in culture. African-American Culture, "White" American Culture, Asian-American Culture, Chinese-American Culture, American Indian Culture (s), etc.

So I don't believe in the silliness that people are "Black" because of the racial box they check off on a form. It is just stupid to believe in such nonsense. We are "Black" because of culture. We are African-Americans. And I have to record a video for my group today making that exact point.

Sammy Sosa is not apart of "Black" history, because he has stated repeatedly that he is not "Black". The struggles of African-Americans in baseball is not his struggle. The history he reads and keeps is that of Latino-Americans who have



So that means I don't think Sammy Sosa is "Black". If you asked him which race he was a member of, he would say he is "Mixed" race. And when it comes to the history he honors and the culture he keeps, he would say "Dominican".

[lightbulb27]

Elder was in the military... that bests Biden/Harris and Trump and Obama in one aspect. He's made movies, he understand the camera. None of these leaders are chosen based upon credentials... won't go there, they can represent themselves.

"We linger in the past because it makes us feel good". won't touch that...
He's speaking to a perspective. That perspective is the hurts and struggles of the past.

Never heard of him... just listening to part, it's a perspective. Some I agree with, some I don't.

First blush, no support for a variety of reasons. Always depends on whose the alternative to vote for. I've voted democrat before. But his credentials are minimal and I doubt his integrity. That I'd want to further examine and challenge.

He's smart in one regard... to leave New Orleans for Nashville to have/raise his kids. I'd wonder if he lives in the heart of the liberal area or out with the conservatives, where it's more safe.

People can say what they want. When it comes to their family/kids, you find out what they really believe. I don't trust what he says is what he lives. My prior pastor, he lived what he spoke, I trust him and respect his democratic viewpoint... more than what I see in this video.
nuff said...

[lightbulb27]

Valid point. Then we should end "black history" month and call it "black culture" or rather African American culture month. The question was formulated out of black history month. I believe more in behavior, which is culture. Black is what comes up in the media, govt forms, civic leaders, etc.. Watch a video where a "black" man was abused, and they call out the colors of people. Otherwise, they don't. Media dialog needs to change. It isn't me driving this falsity. I agree on that point.

[lightbulb27]

I have no idea how popular Elder is to anyone. That's why I ask the question. It's not complicated.

[RolandCuthbert]

1. So was John McCain. He was even captured and tortured by the enemy. Trump and his supporters mocked him. So again, why be disingenuous? Military service only means something if that person supports your politics.

2. Why are you picking the criteria I should use for choosing a candidate?

3. If he said that, he is completely wrong. We remember the past, because we remember how we got here. I am not here without Emmitt Till, Medger Evers, James Baldwin, and Fredericka Washington. And it is because of that past, I recognize a responsibility to young folks today and to their children. Elder seems to think some "White" people feel guilty over the past. That's weird.

4. I am pretty certain, there is precious little you find agreeable in Tim Wise. And I wouldn't play games pretending otherwise. It would be disingenuous.

5. I voted Republican pretty much 90% before trump. Your voting record means nothing when we are talking about current disagreements. You don't seem to understand that propaganda you watch on youtube, may not be the reason why folks don't agree with your political views. And you don't seem like the type who actually talks to people to understand where they are coming from.

6. As for you pastor, I don't understand why you made him into a political figure. I am pretty certain that if a democratic candidate advocate something against his beliefs he would not support them. The issue isn't dem/repub. The issue is what public policies does he support. You made the discussion into something else.

[lightbulb27]

were way off topic, our discussions always go off in directions.
1) I supported mccain. It's not about Trump, I don't agree with everything he says. I didn't vote for him one out of two.
2) -
3) he said that, maybe it's out of context.
4) I find some I agree with.
5) republicans aren't always good or right. I did not vote for Bush. I do like to understand viewpoints... I spend more time on it than maybe it's worth
6) never mind... were way off now.
It was a simple question:)
It sounds like... a no, you won't.

[RolandCuthbert]

Dude, you can call it "Mickey Mouse Month" if you wish. It is for certain folks, who believe in such things, to look back on and remember the contributions by African-Americans. As in the descendants of the people from Africa, brought to this nation as slaves.

You can't blame your behavior or beliefs on the media. You believe in racial nonsense. You have posted your beliefs in racial behaviors. You have claimed I should follow the "Black" people who share your beliefs. . . all while claiming that beliefs/behavior make for culture.

If there are folks with dark-skin sharing your beliefs, claim them as being "White".

I don't get it. Culturally, they don't share my beliefs about African-American History. Or a belief that this culture is as good and as important as any other. Why can't they go their way with you and me my way with mine?

[RolandCuthbert]

But you do. And you lie thinking you have fooled someone.

Why do you think that is an effective strategy?

[lightbulb27]

You have a right to your perspective. I have a right to mine. People have a right to theirs.
I don't claim anyone. If I like their view, I may support If I don't, I try to encourage them... usually. As noted, I see it more as behavior. But sure, color is the theme in so much we hear, so it gets repeated. Like a great man once said "stop talking about it". But that's impossible because people keep bringing it up.
As I said, it sounds like your support for Elder right now is... no. All I was looking for.

[RolandCuthbert]

This is why you are disingenuous.

You obviously want more "Black" people to support your politics. But instead of having mature conversations about public policy, you go to the same racist tropes about victimhood and wanting stuff for free.

You could just say, here is a public policy I agree with, and here the reasons why. Like even though you and I disagree with the Ukrainian war, you posted reasons why you had your positions. Yeah. . . all of it was basically Russian propaganda, but it was easy enough to respond to each point with fact and with the history of Ukraine-Russia relations.

But when it comes to "Black" folks are your political ambitions, you are just totally disingenuous, deceitful and manipulative.

1. So rather than just say, "I wish more "Black" people voted the way I wanted them to." You simply find dark-skinned folks who agree with your politics and state how they are your "Black" heroes and that they should be "Black" people's heroes too.

2. But you can't simply talk about your political ambitions/beliefs and engage "Black" folks on that basis. It is like the whole "Black" cultural pride thing is a big issue for you. But you confuse that with politics as though a "Black" person who's personal heroes are Malcolm X and the Black Panthers, would never support stated conservative positions of ending welfare, even as Malcolm X abhorred social welfare for "Black" people. And it seems that you will or can never divorce your political argument from the cultural one. They are one and the same for you. And you flip back and forth in a nonsensical way that is hard to track.

[RolandCuthbert]

But that's the thing. I don't post Tim Wise, Jane Elliott, and Gregg Popovich videos and then claim. . "oh, I like these "White" people, they should be your "White" heroes".

Because that is disingenuous. That would be deceitful. If I wanted you so desperately to agree with my politics, I would just ask you;

"Would you please support my politics?"

I wouldn't try to construct some strategy or trap for you.

But the thing that is really crazy is when you delve into the cultural side. Because that's where the real nonsense begins. Most "Black" people are proud of "Black" culture. And no one is going to talk them out of their pride. It would be like trying to convince a Ukrainian, that they should give up their culture and become Russian.

It is weird that you don't understand the world doesn't work the way you want it to. Even when it comes to "Black" people.

[RolandCuthbert]

@lightbulb27 I forgot something.

Do you really think Tulsi Gabbard identifies as being "Black"?

WTF?

[lightbulb27]

If I see people I agree with, I agree with them. It's not race. I'll listen to other views. Sometimes I'll change, usually not. I disagreed with a chinese person recently. yea!! I find poison pills in the other peoples views. That's the breakdown between left and right, right now. I'm not the one complaining about my life, they are. So I'm here trying to figure out how to live a good life in peace. If they like my life so much, they should join me, I don't care who they are. I care about behavior. Culture is fine, that's diversity... I have lots of that around. But the behavior needs to be..."good". People with bad behavior create problems.
I'll reach into hell and try to pull people out, but I'm not going to dive in to their hell... not right now, I used to. And I don't want to be pulled into their hell either... that's the social discourse and issues being bantered about in various "questions"... how someone elses "views" and torment negatively impacts my family and life.
you lost me in how you view me. I ask simple questions, then it seems I'm attacked for being a liar. ok, we'll lets run LE against Al Sharpton. If you think LE is white, that's your choice, I just think he makes sense more sense in a positive way than the other guy, eventhough both have valid views. I don't live in sharptons emotional mindset, wouldn't vote for him. I just picked him as a representitive exmaple of another viewpoint.
It ain't color/race... like I said.

[RolandCuthbert]

Again, with being disingenuous.

You said "Black" History. Those were you words. You didn't post about these being your "American" heroes. You claimed these were examples of "Black" history. As though you could decide who African-Americans should choose to honor/remember. And this again, is not about race.

This is about culture. How many African-Americans honor Pele? He isn't an African-American. He merely ticks off "Black" on a racial box for some people. I don't think he even considered himself to be "Black" while he was living.

So please stop with being disingenuous. You have never posted about Chinese heroes. I have. You have posted about American Indians heroes. I have loads of posts about American Indians. I have posted about "White" heroes. I posted about my favorite Founding Father. I posted about Einstein. I posted about the Chinese "Schlinder" who saved thousands of Jews from execution.

And as I said, this is about your politics. So why did you lie for so long? What was the point?

You are not here trying to find a way to a good life. You are here trying to spread your poisonous lying, manipulative political views. People who agree with your insane politics are "good". And those who do not are "bad". And it is a simplistic construct in your head. Because it is all about "Black" folks. What happened in your past? Did a "Black" guy rob you or beat you up or something?

Do you know how many times "White" folks have hit me, thrown bricks, rocks, etc. at me? Called me names? Chased me down the street?

I have avoided blaming all of you for my ills. I have avoided stereotyping you all. Every contrary viewpoint you pick is a "Black" person and you think I am going to buy that nonsense? You have a serious axe to grind with "Black" folks. And you may want to figure out what that axe is about rather than ranting with no rhyme or reason.

[lightbulb27]

im lost. I support larry elder and candace owns for president and VP. They appear black to me, but maybe they aren't to you. It doesn't matter, I agree with their thinking. I vote for people I like or believe they can do a decent job.
I have no idea who attacked you. If they did, they should have been disciplined. If they hit you with a brick for no reason, then they should have been beaten with a paddle at minimum, or jail. You grew up in a different reality, I lived around it but avoided those people and situations. I don't want that world coming to me, that's the spirit of some of my questions.
The rest of it isn't worth addressing, just your impressions of me, which are based upon reflections from your own life. It's too difficult to communicate with you in writing and make any progress. That's why I stopped on the ukraine issue, no point.

[RolandCuthbert]

Oh stop it. You are not lost. You can support whomever you wish for President. So can I. You just went on a rant about Al Sharpton and how you have a good life. . . and if "Black" folks want to join you, blah, blah. . . and people are tormenting you and your family.

None of that makes any rational logical sense. It had nothing to do with your political ambitions about who should run for president.

This is all about your political views and the weird way you have politicized "Black" culture. Not anyone else's culture. I mean you can understand your wife's culture, right? You don't pretend that the folks in her culture who are proud of their culture and history are "libs" right? And the ones who are not proud of their culture and history are in agreement with you.

As for my response, again maybe I will capitalize this because you cannot read.

I DON'T HOLD OTHER "WHITE" PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ASSHOLE WHO KICKED ME IN THE BACK. I DON'T HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR TRYING TO HIT ME WITH A BRICK OR CURSE DONALD TRUMP FOR THE FREAKS WHO CHASED ME WITH GOLF CLUBS.

Please read that over and over again until you can understand what is written there. I don't play the racial blame game. And I am asking you. . . a man who believes in race and nonsensical racist stereotypes with all his heart, soul and mind to consider that just because a "Black" person is poor does not mean they disagree with your politics or your code of behavior. And that just because a "Black" person isn't poor, does not mean they agree with your political insanity.

Politics essentially has nothing to do with it.

And you stopped on Ukraine, because you do not know what you are talking about. You get your "facts" from youtube and reading propaganda. I told you to talk to Ukrainian citizens. And that you refuse to do. Because it is better to beat people over the head with your ignorance. Learning the actual facts of how people are living there now, destroys the little fantasy world you live in.

[RolandCuthbert]

@lightbulb27 Wow. . . I didn't even read the selections because I wasn't going to vote.

You included "He is an Uncle Tom".

So now your lie is complete.

[lightbulb27]

not fair. I've heard only African American people say that about other African American people they don't agree with. It's a perspective within culture, and thus... a valid option to vote. And you see... someone chose that option! What's important is to understand other peoples perspectives of the topic. It's not a term I've ever used outside of discussion. It's just a way of saying "they don't understand my reality".

[RolandCuthbert]

You knew how most African-Americans feel about Larry Elder. But you lied. You wouldn't dare ask the same thing about MLK, Malcolm X. . . or any of the heroes African-Americans celebrate during this month. Because you know of the statues, the tributes, and the love we have for those heroes. But you asked about people who you knew have no such standing in the community.

Then you pretended like you didn't know how these people were received.

That is disingenuous times 2.

You have a right to your heroes. But you are not a member of African-American Culture. By your own words. By your own words, we know you consider the culture to be inferior to your own.

So you don't pick who our heroes should be. If they are your heroes, then make them your heroes. This is like claiming General George Custard should be a hero to American Indians. Maybe that is a little bit. . . insane.

Candace and Larry are your folks. Not ours. They belong to you and your elite group. Stop using race as a way to get people to support your insane political views.

[lightbulb27]

"you have your heroes": Thank you, I appreciate that. I see all kinds of videos like these, that seem somewhat supportive of Elder. My news feed on him is positive, including from AA's. Look at the pole... nearly half support! We don't know who those 1/2 are though. I'm sure some are dismayed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wNWr_oSr0Y
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DZXIO0xTaI

I have other heroes, of various cultures including African American, I'll post about them to recognize their contributions to life over time.
Valid point about Custer. I guess it's the view of good/vs evil... one persons good is another's evil. It's all perspective.

I'll have to think about posting on MLK or Malcom X. I find X interesting but have only seen brief video clips. So much to learn in perspective... and I used to walk on the boulevard made in his name, I should know more. Of what little I know, I liked what I heard. It's just that LE is running for President, so got top of mind! You know how this search engine stuff works, whatever I looked at before rises in the news feed to me. So LE showed up on top, not Malcom X. That's how he was chosen post.

[RolandCuthbert]

Oh, it is not perspective. Again, you have whatever hero you wish. But you claimed these were "Black" heroes. No. . . these are your heroes.

So why are you claiming you have heroes in African-American Culture? You don't even consider the opinions of African-Americans valid on who they think their own heroes are. You pick your heroes and pretend that they are honored within the culture, when you know they are not.

So I go back to this example. Again, why would I choose Gerald Custard as the hero to American Indians knowing full well, he butchered man, woman and child on the Great Plains?

Being butchered is not a matter of perspective. You can verify this by asking someone to butcher you. It is not a pleasant experience. So why would I pretend that American Indians would honor a man who butchered them? Or pretend that American Indians that do like him, are in any way indicative of the greater Indigenous population?

It isn't rational to claim butchering is matter of perspective to the people being butchered. Everyone who gets butchered dislikes it. Unless they are insane. And I don't know. . . do you think yourself sane? I am just trying to show you some basic rational thinking.

If you want to learn about a culture, you ask the people who are members of the culture. If you want to make up your own mind and your own beliefs about a culture, then represent them as such. Stop pretending for your weird cultural/racial/political goals, that they agree with the decision you made for yourself. You made this choice for your own reasons.

[lightbulb27]

yea they are the people I recognize and relate to. I don't expect them to be everyones heroes. The Tuskegee Airmen are not heroes to the Germans they shot down.
I see your point, but comparing Custer to Larry Elder, that's a stretch to associate them.
People have a right to recognize the abuses they endured and appreciate those who gave to get them to a better place. All ok with me.

Tulsi Gabbard: No I have no idea how she identifies, I think she says she is Hawaiian and Buddhist. I included her for as she's a woman.

[RolandCuthbert]

You keep pretending this is about what you like. You can honor any person you wish. Again, you said, "Making Black History, Larry Elder. . . ".

He is your hero. He is not a hero to members of African-American Culture. So why would you represent him as that, other than to get "Black" people to sign on to your insane politics?

This is no different.



You could just simply post about public policy. And about what policies you support. Then have an intelligent debate about why you think more "Blacks" should support your views, since you are so obsessed with us. But you can't do that. You play the same stupid race game that has been played for 300 years.

And I don't understand why you think being disingenuous is an effective strategy.

[lightbulb27]

That's hilarious, I couldn't have dreamed up that photo... I'm no that "Trump".. tears.
you must think in another dimension than me, I think I'm more simple than that. Noone else has got me on a thread 30 long, beating me over the mind with the question. It's simple to me.
Sure I like him, at first blush and 2nd. I like others.
Maybe I have a subconscious strategy I'm not aware of that you see... your maybe you are used to people scheming and you are projecting it onto me? I've experienced that... makes me wonder.
Not a bad idea, to present the issues for debate, that's for a future time. I support people more than policies, usually. I couldn't stand Bush II, didn't care what his policies are... I viewed him as a hazard. I believe in and entrust them to people and pick the better of the options. They make sense or they don't... to me.
don't know what race game you are talking about.
I'm not telling anyone to support my view, I'm asking a question! If anything, I'm promoting him. If you want to promote someone else, go ahead.

[RolandCuthbert]

I never saw this response. So forgive this late retort. You can support anyone you wish. Think about the evolution of your views in this thread. So now you support people more than any public policy. Think about that for a minute. If I support ending Qualified Immunity, why would I support someone who disagreed. . . just because I liked their smile or the way they made jokes?

I get it. Maybe with me pointing out how disingenuous you have been. . . kind of soured things for you and now you want to pretend this isn't a big deal. Even as you have repeatedly posted about "Black" people and how they do not support your politics. Only to now claim, you don't have any real political positions at all. Forget about all your "Black" "heroes" being political commentators and figures.

It is not like they are scientists, engineers, business people, entrepreneurs, etc. right?

I posted here about one of my heroes, Dr. Ronald Mallett, the Time Travel Brother. He actually works on the theoretical physics behind time travel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caDTre23eyE

But unless he can state a political position you agree with, he is of no use to you.

[lightbulb27]

I thought you dropped off the face of the earth. i'll watch the video later, interesting research.
I have little info on him other than watching interviews/videos and reading about his life. It wasn't policies so much as his views. I wrote the question because it was "Black History Month".
He is running...
www.cnn.com/.../index.html
Given the current administration, I'm thinking most anyone alive should run. It's only a little money... why don't you run? If enough people join, we could pay our bills...
that shall be my next question... thank you for the inspiration!

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, you know I have been traveling. I was in Germany last year, I am going back next month. I was in Texas and Nevada recently. My discussion group really became active. So talking with anonymous folks on the internet kind of pales when compared to talking to people face to face and actually being able to work on projects that can help people and change their lives.

So if things go dead, I will be here. If not, I won't be around very much. I see you create a question/take or two every single day.

I cannot dedicate that kind of time.

I am sure you have no information on Dr. Ronald Mallet. Again, he isn't a "Black" person who agrees with your politics, so why would you know about him?

Another guy I like a lot is Dr. Sylvester Gates.

He is a string theorist. He work on supersymmetry.

He has had a definite effect on my views about religion vs science.



As for Ronald Mallett, I created a take on him long ago.

More Science! Is Time Travel Really Possible? Meet the "Time Travel Brother," Dr. Ronald Mallett ↗

[lightbulb27]

yes hadn't heard of either, I had heard folks were looking at TT but didn't know whom. impressed with these men, making something of their gifts. the story of building a time machine to save his father, wow. that feeds into the other guys views on science/religion.

yes is better to live life, I waste too much time out here. i will be see Germany as well in near future.
safe travels!

Larry Elder >>>>>>>>>> any Democrat

[Anonymous]

He lost so badly in California, he will lose even harder in the primaries lol.

larry elder is a major cuck.

[lightbulb27]

Abraham Lincoln lost every time... until he won!

[Opinion Owner]

Lincoln was an honorable man. Larry elder is barely even an atom of who he was

[exitseven]

He could not beat Gavin Newsome for Governor of California. He won't win for President.

[KostasKouvalis]

He's too weak. He couldn't even win the California recall election. Tulsi Gabbard would be nice

[jshm2]

Candice "I'm a White girl in my mirror" Owens or Tulci "Dalit" Gabbard are your alternatives?

You on crack again, gimp?

[lightbulb27]

They are all excellent communicators, intelligent, hold perspectives I generally agree with. I take no drugs... don't need them. What's wrong with any of them? What is a gimp?

[-Mad-]

Vote for Donald John Trump

USA USA

[Exterminatore]

I damn sure would! He’d make a fine president. He’s a class act and a smart guy.

[AngryCarl2]

Any time you have to ask the question if he's an Uncle Tom, the answer is yes.

Not Larry Elder

[lightbulb27]

say what?

[AngryCarl2]

What?

[lightbulb27]

how do I translate what you said?

[loveslongnails]

None of those people would make a good President, especially either of those women! Yuk !

[gorydetails]

Larry Elder is great but I’m not sure he would be a good president

[Anonymous]

He did an unbelievably poor job of running for governor of CA. So no--I'm not a fan of him running for pres.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Who is Larry Elder?

[lightbulb27]

feel free to watch the video...

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@lightbulb27 Thank you

[ObscuredBeyond]

I'm curious about Malcolm Alexander -Neal's bid to run for president.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'd vote for him and it'd have nothing to do with his skin or black history!!

[Anonymous]

Is he independent? If no then no. He will just be another person's puppet.

[Jackblue]

I don't have much money now, so I might not donate, but I would certainly vote for him.

[LiamJHayden]

My first choice for POTUS is too old. Dr. Thomas Sowell.

[Fuentes]

I wouldn't vote for Elder never liked him

[Jamie05rhs]

He couldn't even win the Governor's race.

[Jamie05rhs]

Don't get me wrong; I do like the guy.

[lightbulb27]

in a strong democrat area. republican not going to win CA at this point.
Ab Lincoln failed every time, prior to be elected President.
Kamala harris has no skills or experience, het is VP.
Anything is possible...

[Jamie05rhs]

I don't know, man. We have plenty of highly qualified people running already.

[SmokinAces2000]

No I wouldn’t

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope.
