He was born Cassius Clay but died Muhammad Ali. He was an American professional boxer, generally considered among the greatest heavyweights in the history of the sport.

I met his as Clay at the 5th street gym in Miami Beach. Clay was the most colorful athlete I have ever spoken with in my lifetime.

The Real Deal

Submitted by ub on

This is not reality TV, nor the art of any money making deal. It's real serious and our nation depends on it.

How can we the people of The United States of America allow members from the lunatic fringe to ruin our future?

Is anyone good?

What is going on? It is like you look down for a few months and you look up, and all of a sudden you have two very corrupt people running for president. One's corrupt in politics, one's corrupt in life.

ACCUSE AND LIE

Submitted by ub on

Why are our supposed leaders not speaking about their plans for America's future in terms of domestic and foreign policy?

When will they stop making accusations, telling lies and begin to outline their individual platforms?

They spin lies into fear while the silent majority does nothing. Americans can't allow this to continue.

TAO

Submitted by ub on

A spiritual, philosophical and religious tradition of Chinese origin that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao.

We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.

Making America Greater

Submitted by ub on

Making America greater is not done with lies, insults, attacks, and self-promotion by a narcissistic, maniacal, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, demagogue? No way, not as long as I have a stake in this great nation.

TRUMP UNIVERSITY?

Was it worth it to have attended defunct Trump University? The so called university, hasn't existed for years, and wasn't really a university at all.

Trump reportedly overcharged for classes and used high-pressure tactics to get its students to adopt their ideology.
