Housing And Urban Development Head, Marcia Fudge Is Resigning Claiming That HUD’s Budget Of $3 Billion Is Not Enough, $70 Billion Is Needed. How Much Has Biden Thrown At Ukraine?

I have to hand it to her; Marcia Fudge tried her best to improve the lives of those who are poverty stricken and cannot afford to pay rent without badly needed assistance from Housing and Urban Development.

HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge to resign, says affordable housing is ‘an American issue’

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge says the agency prioritizes "climate resilience."

Fudge worries there’s not enough funding for all the work still needed, including building more affordable housing and repairing aging public housing developments.

She wished the agency had gotten more than $3 billion to improve public housing and multi-family housing. The need is more than $70 billion, she said.

Now, how much imaginary American taxpayer dollars has Joe Biden thrown at Ukraine so that Zelensky could purchase multi-million-dollar yachts, and multi-million-dollar condos in Dubai?

$113 billion: Where the US investment in Ukraine aid has gone

President Joe Biden welcomes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on September 21, 2023.

In August, as part of a larger request that included domestic disaster relief funding, the White House asked Congress to approve another $24 billion for Ukraine. This money would go to a variety of things, including replenishing the Pentagon’s arsenal with equipment sent to Ukraine.

It is crystal clear that the Biden Administration is not about the business of helping American citizens who have descended into abject poverty thanks to outrageous inflation, overpriced garbage in grocery stores masquerading as food, over-inflated rents due to greedy corporations raking in the dough from skint Americans who cannot afford to pay rent, put food on the table, pay daycare expenses for their children while they work; the whole nine yards. Because it is essential that U.S. defense and military contractors make out like the damn bandits they are by being thrown our imaginary tax dollars.

Boeing, Lockheed Martin, RTX Corporation, Northrup Grumman Corporation and other manufacturers of the war machines are making a killing hand over foot by being continuously supplied with our tax dollars to crank out weapons of war, while housing homeless people is consigned to a mere afterthought by indifferent politicians.

Housing and Urban Development could have been fully funded, and no one need sit out on the streets, dying because they are homeless, but because war will always win out, profits over people will always take precedence, wars will be funded first and foremost to the detriment of humankind.

I have posted picture after picture on this very blog of homeless encampment after homeless encampment. I have depicted “The Homeless Memorial March” that took place back in December, whereas we marched through the streets holding a sign with a dead homeless person’s name on it and many were elderly people and even a homeless baby was depicted on one of the signs.

Meanwhile, the Biden Administration is trying to get Americans to understand that Americans need to re-elect Biden when we did not elect his ass in the first place since the election was stolen from Donald Trump. And it is highly likely that the same scenario is going to play out again. Nothing that is going on today makes any sense at all. We have keyboard warriors holding forth telling us that they need to continue to sit at the keyboard and with microphone hooked up, tell us to take to the streets while they merely remind us that our shit is fucked up when no one need be reminded of that shit since people like me are out on the streets doing the damn leg work while the keyboard warrior crew beg for donations and superchat money on Youtube videos. I don’t ask y’all for a goddamn thing because I don’t believe in capitalism. Capitalism can kiss my ass! You will never find me with begging cap in hand asking for a damn donation so that I can continue to sit on Youtube and post video after video lambasting others for not doing a damn thing about a damn thing when I’m not either.

I take my ass out on the streets, daily, helping homeless people find a place to stay at night, giving them money for a hot meal or even buying the hot meal for them. I wear the soles of my two pairs of shoes out marching to showcase the homeless who died for lack of a home, and I ask nothing of anyone for doing so. My Black ass sat out on the streets, homeless for eight damn months during the coldest part of the year and I never begged a soul for anything even though I went days and weeks without eating, weeks at a time without sleeping. But never did I beg for one damn crumb, but I will not demonize those who do beg. They are just not as stubborn and stupid as I am because when they are hungry, they know to beg to see if they can get fed. I have given bus fare to those who did not have it and the bus driver refused to give them a “courtesy ride” and it was cold as fuck outside. I am not tooting my own horn, but I am showcasing the difference between being all talk and walking the damn walk. Those of you who merely sit somewhere in the comfort of your home, get your asses up and walk the walk and stop merely talking about what needs to be done. Nothing gets done by merely talking about it. That helps who?

You can see that the damn government is not going to step in and do a damn thing since the focus will always remain on finding countries to make war against as opposed to putting our money where it will do the most good and housing homeless people would do the most good which is why Housing and Urban Development will never be fully funded, but you can bet your candy ass that the Department of Defense will continue to receive a bloated budget to fund wars started by this shithole!

As to Marcia Fudge stepping down, I don’t blame you. You did what you could with what you had, and you are to be commended for lasting as long as you did because it cannot have been easy seeing so much need and trying to make such a limited budget, work. My hat is off to you, Ms. Fudge. At the age of 71, you most definitely deserve to retire and spend time with your elderly mother. And you are right when you say that “Affordable housing is an American issue.” It is not just a Black issue; it is not just a white issue. It is an American issue, especially since I have showcased that fact on this very blog. There are millions of homeless Black Americans as well as homeless white Americans. Don’t believe it? Check out the pictures of these homeless people.

 

 

 

Homeless man sleeping on the ground since HUD will never be fully funded since the Biden Administration and each presidential Administration before and after will continue to fund wars to the detriment of America’s most vulnerable. Homelessness is NOT a Black or white issue, it is an “American issue.”

Homeless, thanks to poverty and the fact that Housing and Urban Development will never be fully funded.

Homeless and strung-out on drugs. Remember the crack epidemic that decimated Black communities all across this country? Now, we have fentanyl that is killing everyone.

Homeless thanks to a lack of affordable housing and HUD’s budget is woefully inadequate to keep up with the need for affordable housing.

We continue to march through the streets carrying the signs depicting the names of the homeless dead since housing is not considered a “human right.” War rights are more important!

Homeless encampments will continue to grow all across America thanks to elected officials’ complete disregard for the health and wellbeing of America’s citizens.

And to think, our ancestors built the White House, and this is not far from the White House, and this is where the descendants of those who built the damn White House have to reside, a damn homeless shelter.

More Americans will end up in fucked up homeless shelters like the one pictured above whereas I had to stay when I was evicted for paying my rent for five goddamn years, paid it early each month and still got evicted and ended up in that fucked up homeless shelter. Racism and war will never end.

A homeless encampment full of American descendants of slavery.

This is what happens when people have no home. This is what happens when we ignore mass homelessness. It grows. It would cost less to house people than to continue to encourage homelessness to explode. Do you think that homeless people are healthy and since they are not, what happens? They cost more money with emergency room visits; crime is higher as well since people with nothing will get by somehow. But yet, the mainstream media blames these people for being too broke to afford the outrageous cost of housing.

How in the world are Indians homeless? The sign says it all!!!

Believe me, we will ALL regret not demanding fully funding Housing and Urban Development. We will ALL regret continuous wars. When we refuse to help the least of us, the most of us will soon follow. Wait for it. Your turn is coming. No one is immune to this. No one.

 

Biden Says, “Black Folks, Vote For Me, I Got Yo Back!” Oh, Really? How So, Joe Biden??!!

Yeah! Joe Biden got our back, alright, and it’s looking like this!

Thanks to Joe Biden, our backs look like that! And who the hell wants that??!!! 

But Biden wants Black people to understand and get with the program that he has our back like no other racist in America. Ain’t that some shit!!

Biden repeats promise to Black Americans: ‘I have your back’

“I have your back, as much as any president has in American history since Lyndon Johnson,” Biden responded. “Black wealth has increased by 60 percent, across the board.”

Well, Biden, explain THIS shit!

More than 50% of homeless families are black, government report finds

African Americans, despite making up just 13% of the U.S. population, account for a staggeringly disproportionate chunk of the nation’s homeless population, according to a government report.

And Biden, while you are at it, explain THIS!

Prison to Plate

Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands

ANGOLA, La. (AP) — A hidden path to America’s dinner tables begins here, at an unlikely source – a former Southern slave plantation that is now the country’s largest maximum-security prison.

Unmarked trucks packed with prison-raised cattle roll out of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where men are sentenced to hard labor and forced to work, for pennies an hour or sometimes nothing at all. After rumbling down a country road to an auction house, the cows are bought by a local rancher and then followed by The Associated Press another 600 miles to a Texas slaughterhouse that feeds into the supply chains of giants like McDonald’s, Walmart and Cargill.

Get to explaining ALL that shit, Biden. But yet, you want to talk about what you’ve done for small Black-owned businesses. You mean, the corner Black-owned barbershop? Because those have been around for ages, but not much else since millions of Black people, including children are sitting out on the streets, homeless. Where is the Black wealth of which you speak Biden?

Is it here? Because this Black woman is homeless. She doesn’t have a Black-owned business.

How do you have her Black back, Biden??!!!!

And what about this, Biden?

She is HOMELESS as well, and so how do YOU have HER back, Joe Biden???!!!

Yet another homeless Black woman who does not have a Black-owned business, Biden. How do you have HER back, Biden?

And what about this??!!

This Black woman is toting her belongings around on a damn bus. She doesn’t have a small Black-owned business, Biden. Why not? Since you claim to have been most efficient at improving the stats with regards to Black people owning small businesses. And why do the all Black-owned nonexistent businesses have to be small? Why do you not claim that Black folks have huge, mega corporations, Biden? You foul, piece of old, racist filth!!! Explain this next picture, Biden!

Yet another homeless Black woman who does not have a small Black-owned business that you speak of, Biden. Why not? She’s Black. You claim to have our back and so why is this Black woman homeless if you claim to have her damn back, Biden?

And what about this next picture, Biden? Care to explain it??!!

This a fucking homeless encampment where used to dwell multiple Black homeless people but the slave patrols came along and demolished that and sent those Black people who the fuck knows where? But they were not sent into their own small, Black-owned businesses, Biden. Why didn’t you have THEIR back, Biden? Care to explain this!

And yet ANOTHER homeless encampment made up of homeless Black Americans otherwise known as ADOS, American descendants of slavery, Joe Biden. Where are their small Black-owned businesses, Joe Biden?

Can you explain this, Joe Biden?

Homeless Black men with nowhere to go in the winter since they don’t have a small Black-owned business, Joe Biden, nor do they have a damn home. Why not? Since you claim to have their back? You fucking racist piece of shit!

Where are all the small Black-owned businesses, Biden? Could you tell us? The homeless Black folks depicted here want to know!

This Black woman in the above picture is most definitely certain that you do NOT have her or her baby’s back, Biden since both are homeless. Why doesn’t she have a small, Black-owned business, Biden? You said you’ve got her back, so what’s the damn problem, Biden? You lying, filthy, racist dog!

And as if the fuck shit Biden has already said is not bad enough, get a load of this!

Biden torched for claiming ‘undocumented’ immigrants ‘built this country’ after saying same of middle class

President Biden received criticism online for claiming in a recent interview that “undocumented” immigrants built this country.

“In his SOTU speech he said unions and the middle class built this country, now he says ‘undocumented’ immigrants built the country. Any guess as to who he will say built the country the next time he’s speaking to an African-American audience?” journalist Jeff Gremillion wrote on X. 

That filthy, lying bastard is now claiming that some damn “undocumented immigrants” built this country when this country was built on the backs of Black slaves, who received not one thin dime for all their hard work and toil for no fucking money whatsoever and white racists like Joe Biden are still trying to deny slavery to this very day, but wants to yarn on and on about having the backs of Black people in this shithole!! My fucking rage knows no bounds!

Our Black asses are still considered three-fifths of a human to this very day since nothing has changed, not to mention the fact that slavery was NEVER abolished, it just morphed into the PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, which is still using slave labor to produce free shit for corporations to sell!

This shithole is going to continue to explode until not one blade of grass is unsinged. This shithole is going to continue to collapse until every single ass in it is fucked all the hell the way up!

If Joe Biden got our backs, then once again, this is what the fuck our backs look like!!!

If that is a “good” condition for our backs to be in, then yeah, Joe Biden most definitely got OUR fucking backs! But since that shit ain’t a good look or a “good” feel, then fuck that piece of vile, racist shit!! If any of you Black folks out there vote for this unhinged, racist lunatic, you will continue to get exactly what you have been getting from his tired, old, racist ass; a back that looks like what’s depicted above and you most certainly won’t be enjoying owning a small Black-owned business. Joe Biden has done nothing for Black people beyond incarcerating our asses and making sure that we don’t own shit since he has had four goddamn years to do something to improve the plight of Black America and what the fuck is there to show for Biden’s four years of having our damn backs? Mass homelessness, extreme poverty, income inequality, a school-to-prison pipeline, medical experimentation, mass incarceration, Black child poverty off the charts, high Black infant mortality rates, Black mothers dying during childbirth in unprecedented numbers, high Black unemployment rates, low educational attainment, no Black-owned businesses of which to speak and the list of the like is endless, but no gains are anywhere to be found. But this joker wants our Black asses to walk inside a voting booth and vote for this same shit! Don’t continue to act like you’ve been dropped on your damn heads, Black folks. Don’t continue to fall for the bullshit! But don’t you dare march into a damn voting booth and vote for this piece of depraved, barbaric, racist filth that IS Joe fucking Biden because when a motherfucker got our backs looking like that shit, we need to fuck this shit up!!!!

 

 

 

Black History Holds No Fame!

What is there to celebrate? Black history is fucked up and Black people are fucked up and the situation for us has not improved and is not going to.

Black History Holds NO Fame!

Dragged from your native land,
on a floating barge of death.
You built paradise for a thief,
who then plundered all the wealth.

Your name was not your own.
You would never again be free.
To know such hate from them,
as they hung you from a tree.

They say that slavery’s over.
Go forth and earn your keep.
And though you labor long,
you’re valued much too cheap.

You were denied so many rights.
And the vote was not for you.
Though many marched and died,
the court bid that adieu.*

Some think you’ve made great strides
in the face of all that’s wrong.
Yet they herd you into prison,
because they hate that you are strong.

Be wary of their smiles,
for they mean you so much harm.
If you’ve a talent, they’ll exploit it.
All over you, they’ll swarm.

They’ll use you and they’ll kill you.
You’re nothing but a thing,
and when your candle’s burned
you’ll feel ole Massa’s sting.

Don’t ever let your guard down,
and it doesn’t pay to trust.
Shield from them your weakness.
Always show them your disgust.

Black history holds no fame.
And it certainly gets no cheer.
Times have never changed.
They still look at you and sneer.

These next pictures showcase why there is no need in the world to be celebrating Black History when this shit is going down in the present and is a direct result of Black History. What is there to celebrate??!! Black History led to this!

She is not celebrating Black History Month since she is homeless!!!

When I finish with this blog, you come on up in here and tell me what reasons we have to celebrate Black History Month when Black History should have led us to a better outcome than what we are experiencing, but it did not since take a look at this shit!

This Black woman is not celebrating Black History Month because she is homeless!!!!

If Black History is so great, then why are over 52% of Black families homeless?

This Black woman and her daughter will NOT be celebrating Black History Month since they are homeless. Remember, over 52% of Black families are homeless. This woman and her daughter are more than likely not even included in those statistics.

This Black woman will not be celebrating Black History Month because she is homeless. When I finish with this blog, I want you to tell me, AGAIN, why we are ‘celebrating’ Black History Month.

This formerly homeless Black man is crazier than a bedbug. Being homeless for years sent his mental state into a decline and he holds multiple conversations with the people in his head. I highly doubt that the fog in his mind will clear long enough for him to recognize and celebrate Black History Month. He is too busy still chasing the ‘demons’ away that he encountered while being homeless for so damn long.

This homeless Black woman will not be celebrating Black History Month as she is fighting with the city to leave her alone and let her sleep in a place, she feels the safest. Every single time that I am in the area that she has chosen to sleep at, she can be found sitting on a bench with her head bent, she has damn near been broken from experiencing homelessness.

Poor, homeless Black people sitting up in that fucked up homeless shelter in what used to be known as “Chocolate City.”

The above is a picture of a poor Black homeless woman sitting up in the dining room of a fucked up homeless shelter in Washington, DC. I am sure that none of you have heard about it. It is called Community for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV), also known as the Mitch Snyder Building, named for the man who had a problem with mass homelessness and tried to do something about it. Unfortunately, he committed suicide on the third floor of that building. If you saw the condition of that building, you’d commit suicide in it as well.

A picture from my shelter bed located inside CCNV homeless shelter aka Mitch Snyder building, that was full of bedbugs since I was in the shelter dealing with homelessness due to being put out on the streets thanks to RACISM since I had paid my rent for five years, paid it early and was still given a notice to vacate and with no explanation as to why. When have you ever heard of a tenant getting put out FOR PAYING THE GODDAMN RENT?! So, suffice it to say, I will NOT be celebrating Black History Month!

A homeless encampment full of American descendants of slavery.

This homeless encampment that had Black people heavily represented in it has been demolished by the city. It was deemed to be unsafe; homelessness is unsafe but who the fuck is doing anything about that? Suffice it to say, wherever those people are, they are not in a position to recognize and get to celebrating Black History Month. They are too busy trying to survive winter.

A poor Black homeless woman walking around the 
harbor.

Yet another homeless Black woman toting her belongings around at night, trying to find a safe place to settle down. She will not be celebrating Black History Month.

Here is a poor homeless Black man sitting in a wheelchair! He will not be celebrating Black History Month!

A homeless Black man sitting in a wheelchair while pushing a shopping cart cannot be expected to have the time or the energy to celebrate Black History Month.

Black man nodding on methadone and so I highly doubt that he is even aware that it is Black History Month.

Black people are still strung out on drugs, thanks to the saturation of crack in Black communities back in the 80s. Is that the Black History that we are celebrating?

Folks every single picture that you have viewed so far was taken by me. So, as you can see, I have not even made a dent in the numbers of homeless Black people in America. This is not even a small sampling of the millions of Black people that have nowhere to call home. When I was homeless, what I saw has left such a lasting impression on me, the sights I saw, the suffering I saw will never leave me. Black people are in such bad shape, it should be a damn crime! There is nothing to celebrate. Go out on the streets, take a look around. Go into ANY library in this shithole and take a look around, there are nothing but Black folks sitting up, homeless in the libraries ALL across this country. I saw that shit with my own eyes.

Yet another homeless encampment made up of mostly Black people. It has also since been demolished and where those people are? My guess would be as good as yours. I took this picture about a month ago. But wherever they are, I am pretty sure that they will NOT be celebrating Black History Month.

Tell me, where are the gains? What is there to show for all the marching and protesting that our Civil Rights icons invested their time and energy and worn-out shoes over? What in Black History is there to celebrate when you can see from the above pictures that too many of us are so damn poverty stricken that we are homeless?

We as a group of people never made it off the slave plantations. Don’t believe that? Then explain this!

Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands

Prison to Plate

ANGOLA, La. (AP) — A hidden path to America’s dinner tables begins here, at an unlikely source – a former Southern slave plantation that is now the country’s largest maximum-security prison.

Unmarked trucks packed with prison-raised cattle roll out of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where men are sentenced to hard labor and forced to work, for pennies an hour or sometimes nothing at all. After rumbling down a country road to an auction house, the cows are bought by a local rancher and then followed by The Associated Press another 600 miles to a Texas slaughterhouse that feeds into the supply chains of giants like McDonald’s, Walmart and Cargill.

Now how does the above picture resemble anything other than SLAVERY??!! The same shit that went down back in the 1600s is going down in 2024. What the fuck has changed??!!!

Your asses are sitting in the drive-thru of a McDonald’s buying burgers that are the result of Black slave prison labor. Your asses are getting Uber Eats, Grubhub, Instacart and some more shit to deliver what is being brought to you via Black slave prison labor and your damn asses ain’t got a motherfucking problem with that bullshit!

Black people are still the faces of SLAVERY in America TODAY! Again, what the fuck has changed? What is there to celebrate? The fact that we are still doing what our ancestors did? Making whites rich, who then turn around and screech about us running into their stores stealing “their shit” which is really “our shit?” Those shameless whites are even now pretending that their riches were achieved by their hard work when it is still being achieved by SLAVE LABOR which means that they get the shit for free, but then want to screech that someone is stealing shit that they didn’t even pay for since they are not paying those Black slaves a damn dime for producing shit while in PRISON that appears on store shelves.

You go on out and celebrate this shit but leave me the fuck out of it! I’ve got my hands full trying to help as many homeless Black people that I come across as I can, and you can tell from the pictures that I come across quite a few. Many don’t even make it onto this blog, just a few. But I refuse to celebrate bullshit! Whatever Fredrick Douglass did, whatever Harriet Tubman did, whatever Martin Luther King Jr., did, it wasn’t enough quite honestly since look where we as Black Americans are today. What use is there in looking back in time and pointing to some damn history that benefits us how? Especially since we are the faces of homelessness, poverty, hunger, mass incarceration, a school-to-prison pipeline, high Black infant mortality, Black women dying in childbirth in outrageous numbers, crime and drug saturated communities, gentrification, medical experimentation, mass joblessness or low wage jobs and the fucked-up list is endless. There is nothing to celebrate! Black History holds no fame!
