Malik48's Blog

I've been writing blogs on this site for some times now and during that time I've address various issues dear to my heart.I also felt I was honest in all my blogs,maybe I created some feelings in some and maybe made others very upset,that wasn't my goal,my goal was to open the eyes of throws whose eyes seem closed.I spoke offten about racism cause believe it or not racism is alive and maybe living next door to you.I've read many of other folks that wrote blogs in here,and at times maybe disagreed,which I can do that.But if I offended anyone one its only because you deserved it.I call them as I see them.So now that the election is over I was looking for some positive blogs to read,but I see thats not happening.So I will design my own website to addresss the ongoing issues with each and every American and hope that I can get some positive feedback.Fact is if your not part of the soluation then you must be part of the problem.I really want to be part of that soluation the best I can.So thank you all for your Blogs and may GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Why is our government continuing to give our tax dollars to AIG,what is going on.I have been listening to the news and yet to hear anything that makes any sense.First of all AIG is not offering jobs to those who are out of work.So I'm trying to understand how are we to benefit from this money exchange.What is the media doing are they not asking any questions.I don't have any other comments on this issue because I just don't know whats going on,but I will make it my business to find out something because this is serious.Our auto industry is falling apart,people continue to lose their jobs,wish Congress could impeach Bush right now,today,just get his BLEEP outa there.Yes this is his doing,just like everything else.We as tax payers need to have some answers.

The Republican Party lost the race,which includes BUSH,McCLAIN and PALIN. Palin could have stayed at home if only she was honest with the party by saying I'm not  Qualified  to be Vise President.She knew that she was out of her league,just looking into her record as Governor anyone could have seen that.She failed to see or didn't want to see that the only reason McClain picked her is because he had this great idea that having a female on his ticket would apppeal to the female voters and he could win the election,BOY WAS HE SOO WRONG.Only voter she appeal to was a few male voter who wasn't voting for her because of her brains or lack of,I think they voted for her cause they thought she looked good in those 150,000 cloths,which I heard that the RNC is going after her to get their money back.Wow she can't win for losing.That election cost her big bucks and she didn't even win.Oh well,hopefully she learned A GREAT LESSION,"Its always better to be yourself,cause its so hard trying to be someone your not".

I just read where Governor of New York State wants to cut medicaid and school aid,why is it when government wants to make cuts the first group they hit is the middle class.First of all our healthcare is already in touble,people who have jobs can't afford healthcare,now Governor Paterson wants to cut part of the only healthcare for those who don't even have jobs.Why are we as voters allowing this to happen without a fight ,what happen to our so called leaders.Please everyone needs to write,call and or go see your elected officals to get some answers.Now as far as our schools is concerned I just wrote a blog a few weeks ago discussing what happens to the State Lottery funds that was suppose to go towards education,I did notice I didn't receive any response except something negative .I guess I just don't understand people because I come on this site and I read some of these blogs and all I see is attacks on some elected officals,well instead of using that energy to attack these elected officals try questioning them on what they doing about these issues.Also our government just give AIG more money come on people get on the phones,write letters,knock on doors,be at some of these elected officals offices when they come to work.We need to get busy here,we can't leave it up to the goverment to make improvements in our lives,cause you see what happen when we left things up to Bush.

This in my opinion was an election to remember,in more ways than one.There were name calling,mud throwing and labels attached to everyone.We had to listen to someones past relationship with their pastor,their next door neighbour and guess whose coming to dinner.None of which had nothing to do with how do we hold on to our homes,how can I pay for healthcare and where can I find a job and let not forget what is being done about gobal warming and the two wars thats costing americans an arm and a leg.So now that part is over lets deal with the issues,first we need to understand that whats going on in this country is not only President Elect Obama's problem but ours as well.He will need the support of everyone from Joe the Pumbler to Mary the unemployed.Its important that we put aside our personal feelings aside,cause fact is these issues that we are facing has no color,all Americans is feeling this,cause it will take all Americans to help ease this pain.Write to your elected officals and express your concerns,we all have ideas and opinions to offer,lets do that.Use the media for something positive like writing suggestion that you feel may help us all get to where it is we want to be.This issue of the bailout money needs to be addressed not only by the government but by the people since it is our taxes thats being used,so why shouldn't we have some say so on how our money is being spend.I do believe by using some of these funds to help the auto industry it will help to create much needed jobs.I still think the government needs to go after these CEO's that ripped us off ,such as Leahmen brothers,AIG and lets not forget Freddie and Fannie.I believe that the government needs to appoint a watchdog committee right now to monitor our spending,and this committee should be made of not only elected officals but Joe Public as well.Lastly we should be patience with the new President cause remember he has 8 years of cleaning up to do and he will need the help of each and everyone of us.

Growing up in these United States was a very tough time for blacks,we had very limited rights.Keep in mind that it wasn't long before that we were slaves fighting for our freedom.It was real tough times,most of us wasn't allowed books,so not many blacks could read.However it didn't stop many who felt they wanted to break away from this kind of life.Our black women was abused by white men.As time past things started to get just a little better,we had a number of blacks who stepped up and became leaders,inventors and statesmen.At that point we began to feel like we were giving something more to this country who still refuse to accept us as being part of this vass land of our.We didn't let anything stop us,we had a mission.Our mission was to be free of the chains that bline us.Our black men and women educated themselves and each other.We began to see that having education was a very powerful tool.We began to build this country with our inventions,even thou we never received credit for our accomplishments we continued to move forward.I believe then we realize we can do anything we want to do as long as we put our mind to it and stay focued,not to let anything or anyone get in our way of self improvement.Soon people like Dr Martin Luther King,John Lewis and many others began a movement that would change history.So many people lost their freedom and their lives so we can be where we are today.During the years of Dr King I watched people being beatin,hosed down and attacked by dogs.But we continued moving forward,because those who were left said"we will not be moved".I'm writing about how we as black people came to the point we are at now.Of course there is so much more,but I needed just to get people to understand the reason behide our joy and happeness for President Obama.The fact that hundred of years later we have an African American holding the highest position in the country.This is important because now all those who died their death wasn't in vain.I'm trying to get white american to see and maybe feel what we are feeling.Weather or not you voted for President Obama,weather or not you agree with him and his views or weather you just don't like him because of the color of his skin,fact of the matter is he has made history for African Americans and the rest of the world.We can now tell our children that with education and hard work you can be anything you want to be,because this is the United States of America.

President Obama  Job well done.

I was under the impression that  percentage of the income from the state lotteries were earmarked for our schools.My question is

  1.How much of this money goes to our schools?

  2.How offten is these fund given to our schools?

  3.How much does each school receive?

  4.Who monitor this to make sure these funds are given?

  5.Which areas in our schools is this money used for,ie teachers,computers,books,building repairs,safety of our students.Where does the money go.

 

The last 16 years speak for itself,when Bill Clinton served his two terms we were able to pay all our bills and still have money left over to buy food.We still had our jobs along with our pension and other investments.We wasn't in a major war that was costing us millions of dollars.And most Americans had affordable healthcare.So along came Bush,folks lost their jobs,pensions,and healthcare.Our social security benefits seem to be questionable. People losing their homes,these CEO's ripping off the tax payers,We found ourselves in a war that was costing the lives of our young men and women,plus the biggest price tag in history.So everyone do like Mrs Palin said "do the math or go with your gut".You don't have to have a high IQ to figure this one out.

Listen there have been those who come before Obama who had the same or even worst views than him and we continue to maintain our freedom or at least some of us.Who a person know in his past has no bearing on him being president,if that was the case you may want to do your research on Bush,McClain's friend list.Lets be real here botton line is you as well as other like yourself don't want Obama to be President has nothing to do with his views.It seem to me a big part of the American public like Obama's views,anything has to be better than Bush.Reading most of the post on here is some what the same on negative views about Obama.Its too bad that the media didn't print the real John McClain then maybe you all would have a different view of him.I will be willing to believe that Mr McClain's service in our military had a lot to do with him being elected Senator.As far as his education is concerned he never went to college,and his military record is not that great,so only thing he had going for him was he was a POW.Our nation thinks very highly of POW's who made it back home.I served in Vietnam from 1968-1970 and believe me things wasn't all that for me when I returned home as well as so many more.McClain mental status is also a in question here,McClain being that he was a POW should be sufferening from PTSD,and the question is was he treated.PTSD is something that stays with you for years,some never recover from it even with treatment.McClain left his first wife for this lady who he is married too now.She has a long history of drug abuse and he was involved in the cover up of her stealing drugs from the organiztion that she worked for,it seem that the DEA was involved as well.This is not here say,his wife admitted to having an addiction to pills and McClain claim he didn't know,how do you not know the women who you live with is using pills,there had to be signs.McClain was also consorting with people who was connected with the PLO maybe it was indirectly but it still happened.McClain was also a part of the Freddie and Fannie situation,not to forget his other S&L involement.So as you can see McClain has a past as well,but this media does not speak on it for some reason.An the fact that McClain felt this eoconomy was sound show he lacks real judgment and lets not forget his VP cloice,do you really think Mrs Palin is ready for the White House,if you do that saids something about your judgment.Well 3 more days and we shall see the new direction this country is heading,and being that this is the greatest country in the world even with all its issues,WE WILL Survive,PERSEVERANCE is the word that discribe the American people.

What this is saying that you can be convicted of a crime and still serve our government,but wait then why do I hear about city mayors having to give up their seat,what about those who had affairs outside their marriage,which is not a crime but treated as such.Government if my memory serves me the Republicans in 1998 wanted to impeach Bill Clinton.Now some of us know Bill was a good president,so he got a little frisky in the White House but he did his job.But my point is they were going to impeach Bill for what he did and letting Senator Stevens get a pass.Why is there such a double standard in Washington,which brings me to this election Obama is no where near these other government officals yet everyone wants to hange him out to dry.Washington if its good for one it should be for everyone,Stevens is a crook and should be treated as such.

Please check out this information,cause I can't believe this.And this is our government saying this

McCain only have a high school educations and a military pilot license and graduated in the bottom.This FYI.McCain military record was sealed. What's in those record that the American people should know. Is there some mental health problems? Why don't you media ask that his military record be unsealed.These are some questions that should have been looked into,since CNN and Fox5News is so quick to look at Obama's history maybe they should do their job and check out McClain.I'm a vietnam vet and had to be treated for PTSD once I left Vietnam.I was never a POW however,being a POW has to have an affect on a person's mental staus,not knowing weather or not you will live to the next day but the fact of being in a combat zone does cause that problem with 90% of all Vets who served thereSo maybe you don't think this is an issue,I suggest you read up on PTSD.I'm also a retired Therapist and I can tell you this ,looking closely at McClain's body language tell a lot about who he really is.This man is very unstable,his moods are affect and his level of reasoning seems very low.Try and really listen to what he say and how his words are phrased.McClain also appears to have an anger management issues.Watching him doing the last debate speaks for itself.How can you run a country like the United States if you can't maintain control,he seem to be losing some of that control listening to some of the things Obama was saying during that debate.Its not always what you say but how its said.Sometimes when saying nothing at all speaks for itself.Someone once said"what you do is so loud I can't hear what your saying"Which means your body language speaks louder.Think about the person you want to run this country these next 4 years.

Fact is that most Americans became very tried of the way they were treated by Bush these last 8 Years,and remember this Bush and McClain both said there is nothing wrong with our economy,that its very sound.Well I'm wondering what needs to happen next before they wake up and smell the coffee.Lets look at it,people losing their jobs and homes,prices of everything has gone up,people either don't have health insurance or can't afford it,the future of social security is in question,we have paid out more money than ever to support a War thats taken thousands of our young men and women,price of energy for our country has sky rocket,people losing their investments,so someone please tell me whats sound about this economy.Do you see an end in sight,oh wait they just lowered the interest rate what a half cent,wow now I can go food shopping.Some of you may not like or agree with Obama for a many of reasons,however you tell me what choices we have at this point,I'm willing to believe that electing Paris Hilton would be better then electing McClain.We all have 4 days left,stop for a second and look around before you go vote and say to yourself and be honest do we really have a sound economy and when you come up with your answer and then and only then you should cast your vote for who you believe from your heart can really help turn this country around.

Supporters in the crowd suggested that the only verdict that matters is the one on Election Day. One person carried a sign saying “Alaska Decides, Not D.C.”

Mr. Stevens plans to campaign in Fairbanks during the day on Thursday but will return to Anchorage for a debate with Mr. Begich on Thursday night. It will be the first time Mr. Stevens has appeared in person for a debate with Mr. Begich. In some debates, he has submitted videotaped answers to questions provided in advance while Mr. Begich answered questions in person.

One other legal matter has been settled for Mr. Stevens since his conviction: After questions arose over whether Mr. Stevens could vote because he is now a convicted felon, the Alaska Department of Law on Wednesday concluded that he would retain his voting rights until he received a sentence. His sentencing has not been scheduled.

Now my homie is a convicted felon and was told he couldn't vote for that reason,just like so many other convicted felons,now what makes Mr Stevens so different sorry I mean Sentator Stevens .So this is how it starts,so now this issue want be addressed anymore until Mr Stevens runs for re-election and he will.Wow only in American and folks here have issues with Obama,please stop the finger pointing and move on.
