As an embittered Marcus Garvey
told us in the first stanza of his poem
“The Tragedy of White Injustice”
“Lying and stealing is the white man's game;
For rights of God nor man he has no shame
(A practice of his throughout the whole world)
At all, great thunderbolts he has hurled;
He has stolen everywhere - land and sea;
A buccaneer and pirate he must be,
Killing all, as he roams from place to place,
Leaving disease, mongrels-moral disgrace”
I’ve just read the latest diatribe by Trump’s old buddy ”Lyin’ Hillary”
Ishmael Reed’s take down Ma and Pa Clinton Flog Uppity Black Man
ever fresh whenever it’s about her, or about her and Africa
There she goes again, blowing her own horn, “As secretary of state during the Obama administration, I argued for smart power” etc - she could of course have boasted, screeched or cackled outright “ I took out Gaddafi!”
Maybe she still wants to be the first White woman to be US President and will be running again in 2028?
Targeting her President with the aim stirring Black people’s ire
she wants to give everybody the idea that - according to her
“a deadly Ebola outbreak is spreading in Africa”
Hillary Clinton, “a deadly Ebola outbreak is spreading in Africa” ?

Gloria in Excelsis Emeagwali,
It’s the same message toTrump: Don’t mind her ( Lyin’ Hillary)
Traditionally, today is April Fools Day…
( https://www.youtube.com/@Andrew-Bustamante/videos )
With New Hopes on the horizon, Tomorrow is LIBERATION DAY and we know that it is not only America (the United States - so far, minus Gaza, Greenland, Canada & Panama) that’s awaiting peace on earth and tidings of great joy from Donald J Trump the Great Liberator, all set to be setting the captives free, although over here in post-war Europe everybody is on tenterhooks and it’s not only about Trump’s impending tariffs…
To Dear Trump, the message would be, don’t mind her, but please don’t tell her as Brutus said to Cassius,
“You have done that you should be sorry for. There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats, for I am armed so strong in honesty, that they pass by me as the idle wind, which I respect not”
Brave Hillary Rodham Clinton, starring as the Great American heroine in her own Brave New World movie, forgot when she said she was running for cover while under fire , another “transparent calumny”// terminological inexactitude !
When she was a much younger person she might have listened to Canada's Joni Mitchell singing Help Me and like me, still remembers this section of the lyrics
“'Cause I've seen some hot, hot blazes come down to smoke and ash”
(From her epic album Court and Spark )
Dear Trump, it’s still not clear why in the days gone by, you habitually referred to her as “Crooked Hillary” thereby causing her to feel (mis-taken identity?) not exactly like the main protagonist in that Dostoevsky novel “The Humiliated and Insulted” but more in sync with the title of that novel.
What this mistress, like the wannabe “master of language and form” doesn't quite understand is the precarious situation that this world is in, in 2025, with the world potentially on the cusp of holocaustal nuclear annihilation, a tragic WW3 possibility that you are desperately trying to avert : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8bKdGvXZ3o&list=WL&index=8
It looks like, for her, like an Amazonian it’s “Once more unto the breach dear friends once more “, when in fact, once more. isn’t it a matter of guess who’s talking ? Once more it’s a matter of the kettle accusing the cooking pot of being black. As our witty bard once put it,
Of course, she’s never been president, she’s only been a president’s wifey, like Melanie ( “First Lady” ) so she wouldn’t know what it’s like to be someone like you, or to be in your shoes, in the Oval Office. Like that docile, arrogant, uneducated parrot it’s so facile drawing the imaginary line between stoopid (like her Monica) and smart (like you) between reactionary (like her) and revolutionary (like you)
As in this rime :
“Sweet child in time
You will see the line
The line that’s drawn between
Between the good and bad …”
and it would be IQ deficiency to regard her as anything else in contrast with you toying with the idea of going for a third term - entirely beyond the scope of her thinking, or her more limited mind, far beyond her mental horizon, a third term for you in the White House is something she cannot even imagine.

Good news for Trump: GOP sweeps Florida !
This means Hillary’s unhappy & disappointed demos are still in shambles !!!
Trump weighs in on the judgment against Marine Le Pen
I agree with Trump totally, that the harsh judgement disqualifying Le Pen from running for the Presidency of France for another five years, is, of course politically motivated - in my view, taking into consideration what some righteous Africans deem to be France’s neo-colonial crimes such as the uninterrupted looting of gold, bauxite, cobalt, lithium, uranium and other precious minerals from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Guinea Conakry etc, and the continued imposition of so called colonial taxes on France's former colonies which still have their central Bank headquartered in Paris. By comparison, if this is not a zillion times worse than Marine Le Pen’s alleged petty “embezzlement” of peanuts to pay some of her staff, then how else to define injustice and grand larceny as the very foundations of Macron’s neo-colonial policies?
Back to the old bad news:
I remember when Hillary was fighting tooth and claws with Brother Obama for the Democrat ticket; on someTV programme they were asked to confess some special weakness. Whereas Barack said that unfortunately sometimes he kept an untidy desk, Sly Hillary said rather coyly, that her only weakness was that she was a woman and wanted to be President of the United States. Barack later retorted that if he had interpreted the import of the question in that way then he would have said he had a special weakness for wanting to help old ladies (perhaps implied, like Hillary) to cross the road…
And back to the straight shooter who always puts it straight 👍
Trump: “Hillary Clinton is the Worst Secretary of State In U.S. History”
And that was not mere hyperbolic rhetoric back then on the campaign trail in late 2015
#Hillary Clinton is the Worst Secretary of State In U.S. History -
That was no mean feat of Hillary to be deemed the very worst, compared to all her predecessors in this List of Secretaries of State in US ; and honestly, in recent memory, internationally how does she compare with e.,g the legendary Zhou Enlai or Andrei Gromyko or the manna of today, Serjei Lavrov and Wang Yi ?
That would be like comparing a limp piece of cheese cracker biscuit at the Motor Park in Owerri with the Swedish or the French Academy, or (if you’re religious), with Westminster Abbey or ( if you are ambitious) with The Oxford English Dictionary
