We will be whatever we allow ourselves to be

Being Called on to Fight for a Lost Cause:
All our lives we were taught to ‘go along in order to get along’... Society conditioned us to be weak-kneed and feeble-minded; always ready to ignore our own needs while sacrificing ourselves for others... Welcome to a New World… Today, we are about to embark on a journey of Facts, but if you are stuck on valuing yourself through the Eyes and Mouths of others, this Message may be too deep for you to fathom.
2024: A new year for tackling the same old problems

Needing to Look Backward so We can Move Forward:
Welcome to 2024... This is a leap year which means that with the expansion to 29 days in February, we will have the longest Black History Month within a seven year span... That is good, but even as we leave 2023, the after-effects still linger on... With all our Commentaries and New Year Resolutions, we should reflect and acknowledge whether or not things are getting better or worse, before our Memories fade.
Divorced from justice but not separated from the people

I am Forever Grateful, & Offer Thanks to you the People:
It may be flattering for persons to praise my last Articles as Master Pieces, but the truth is, the things I am saying now are what I have been saying all along… It’s merely a matter of speaking Truth to Power, in order to provide Truth for the Youth... It’s also okay for those who differ with me and call me a Hypocrite, because I promote the full employment of V-Islanders, even as I support the Rights of employed Non-Belongers.

Full Speed Forwards & Bird Speed Backwards:
Hindsight is 20/20, and things I say are neither to hurt, harm, or hinder, but to heal and help before it is too late... I stand rock solid behind my statements, and you may doubt the Messenger, but never deny the proven facts, and you have already seen the proof... UK’s Fake Electors are Non-functional, SanTis and Judge Thomas are bad for Blacks, and Trump, the criminal, is more difficult to get out than to put in.
The value of being woke - Progressive & Awake

When Being Wrong Would Make Things Right:
Once we put trust in Leaders, we never want to be wrong, so we tolerate many difficulties before admitting failure… Election is over, but I remain concerned that their view of success is the wholesale ripping off and raping of the People, rather than trying to exhibit the virtue and character needed for saving our Country and rescuing our Children… I have zero trust, but I would much rather be wrong.

We need a Police Chief that has a hatred for evil & crime

As I sit here and meditate, it is so disturbing how far these islands have fallen. When I sit back and look over the condition of the islands, a place that is supposed to be a fortress and a tourist’s dream, all I see is garbage and trash. I see a people living in an elevated level of stress. Our seniors are not in a place where they can live a comfortable life and there are no programmes to help our poor and ill.

As candidates are taking their places to contest for the next general elections, we don't know the answers to where we would be heading next. The recent news-making headlines of former Virgin Islands Premier Andrew A. Fahie and the ongoing saga of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) have left us to wonder.
