The Absurdity of Post-Racial Theory in Racist America
by Danny Haiphong
The very suggestion that the U.S. has entered a "post-racial" era, represents a racist assault. "The Commander in Chief and Attorney General may not have white skin, but their policies in relation to mass imprisonment and the economy have exceeded expectations for the white imperial ruling class for whom they ultimately work."

U.S. Rulers Have No Solution for Urban Crisis
"The powers that be have no solution" to the crises confronting Detroit and other U.S. urban centers, said Abayome Azikiwe, editor of the Pan African News Wire. A federal judge has been hearing testimony on the state-appointed Emergency Financial Manager's plans to bankrupt the city. "From the White House to Wall Street, all the way down to the state capitals and municipal governments, all they offer is more debt to float more bonds," said Azikiwe. "There's no discussion about jobs, economic opportunities, repopulating the cities. The narrative is austerity and more austerity."
Dollars Trump Black History in Richmond
The Black Mayor of Richmond, Virginia is opting for a baseball stadium rather than preservation of Shockoe Bottom, the city's historic center, once home to the nation's second largest slave market. "It really doesn't have anything to do with whether or not he's pro-history or anti-history – it's money," said Ana Edwards, of Defenders for Freedom, Justice and Equality. "Shockoe Bottom is the price that he is willing to pay for developers to make their money."
Free Marissa Alexander
The case of a Black battered wife who fired a shot into her ceiling to fend off her abusive husband has become a focus of agitation in Florida. If convicted on aggravated assault charges, Marissa Alexander could spend two decades in prison. "This is what's happening with the criminalization of Black women," said Aleta Alston-Toure, of Free Marissa Now, in Jacksonville. "We need a movement to stop the race, sex and class bias" of the criminal justice system. Black women are more than two and a half times as likely to be killed by a male as their white counterparts.
Feinstein NSA Bill Legalizes NSA Abuse of Power
The FISA Improvement Act, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, an apologist for NSA spying on Americans, "doesn't improve anything; it codifies practices that already exist," said Matthew Kellegrew, a legal fellow with the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. Kellegrew says rival legislation, the USA Freedom Act, "is a step in the direction towards reining in the Patriot Act and out-of-control government surveillance."
Activists Charge Black Studies Chairman with Betrayal
More than 100 student and community activists gathered in Philadelphia's historic Church of the Advocate to denounce Temple University's Dean of Liberal Arts for persecuting African American Studies professor Dr. Anthony Monteiro, and to rebuke Dr. Molefi Asante, the program's new chairman, for betraying his former colleague. Dr. Asante has "turned on Dr. Monteiro and he's turned on the community," said Patrice Armstead, of Building Peoples Power. "He seems to have reversed course relative to building African American Studies at Temple and connecting that project with the lives and struggles and problems of the Black community," said Dr. Monteiro.
Rwanda Needs to Show It Wants Peace in Congo
The defeat of M-23 fighters by Congolese and United Nations forces, earlier this month, does not necessarily signal an end to the violence that has killed six million Congolese since 1996. Unless neighboring Rwanda and Uganda stop arming and financing so-called "rebels," said Kambale Musavuli, of Washington-based Friends of Congo, there can be no peace. "The way I will know that Rwanda is serious about stopping supporting rebel groups, is for them to turn over" some of those already charged with atrocities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, rather than giving them asylum.

Bankers and State Owe Detroit
Instead of figuring out ways to strip Detroit of its assets to pay banks, the courts should force bankers and the state to repay the city hundreds of millions owed. "Some of the main creditors have been bogus, complicated interest rate swaps by banks who overcharged hundreds of millions of dollars of interest," said community activist Debra Taylor. "If anything, that needs to be renegotiated." Taylor said the city was also denied $224 million in revenue sharing funds when the state arbitrarily changed the payment formula.
Obama Schemes to Cut Social Security
President Obama has "enabled" the assault on Social Security and other entitlement programs since his first days in office, said independent journalist Arun Gupta, a co-founder of the Occupied Wall Street Journal. The president has long sought an austerity "Grand Bargain" with Republicans, but has been stymied by GOP reluctance to cut a deal. "The U.S. has become so dysfunctional, in terms of its political system," said Gupta, "it seems the most you can hope for is gridlock."
Who Stopped Stop-and-Frisk?
Opposition to stop-and-frisk is now all but mandatory among New York City Democrats. But, that wasn't the case two years ago, when Carl Dix and others began a civil disobedience campaign under the Stop Stop-and-Frisk banner. "Things like stop-and-frisk were not front-burner issues" back then, said Dix. "The question of torture in prison was something hardly anyone knew anything about. We thought that waging a mass resistance movement was a key way to bring these issue front and center."
Hi-Tech Corporations Behind National Surveillance State
A new study shows the high-tech industrial sector uses its campaign contributions to bolster congressional and White House support for the national surveillance state. "It's really a giant interest-group issue," said Dr. Thomas Ferguson, professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts, at Boston, and an author of the report. "These are industries that we'd already identified as uniquely friendly to Obama," based on campaign contributions.
U.S. Facilitates Congo Genocide
Six million Congolese have died since neighboring Rwanda and Uganda invaded the country in 1996, said Maurice Carney, director of Friends of Congo. Speaking at the 7th anniversary celebration of Black Agenda Report, at New York City's historic Riverside Church, Carney said "these crimes could not be committed without the backing of the United States and the protection of its allies, Uganda and Rwanda." How could Washington call for military action in Syria and Libya, where thousands were at risk, Carney asked, "when you're not even willing to take diplomatic action in Congo, where we're talking about millions?" It all depends on whether "one values Black life, or not."
"Organize!" says Danny Glover
Actor and political activist Danny Glover called for a "reinvigoration of the idea of democracy." Speaking at a fundraiser for Benton Harbor, Michigan's Black Autonomy Network Community Organization (BANCO), the TransAfrica Forum chairman said: "It is important that people are active in the process. We need to organize!"

Obama 'Free Trade' Treaty Speeds Race to the Bottom
The Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty that the Obama administration is trying to ram through Congress would force American workers to compete with "countries like Vietnam, where the minimum wage is 35 cents and hour, or Peru, where it's $1.25 an hour," said Kevin Zeese, an organizer with Popular Resistance. "Even China won't be able to compete with those kinds of wages, and so we'll see a continued race to the bottom," worldwide. "Free trade," said Zeese, is "a marketing term. What this really is, is rigged trade for the top transnational corporations."
Americans Becoming Too Poor for Wal-Mart
"Wal-Mart is a kind of bellwether for the status and well being of the American working class," said Dr. Nelson Lichtenstein, director of the Center for Study of Work, Labor and Democracy at the University of California, at Santa Barbara. The giant retailer's sales are off, party because of competition from even cheaper "dollar" stores. "They serve the bottom of the bottom of the working class, and they're doing fine because people are so poor" under this economy. "What we really need to do," said Lichtenstein, "is raise the general wage level of the entire service economy – we're talking about 50, 60, 70 million people."
American "Exceptionalism" is Threat to Humanity
The prevalence of belief in American "exceptionalism" will lead, "ultimately, if it is not corrected, to devastation of the planet," said Dr. Johnny Williams, professor of sociology at Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut. Dr. Williams reports that many of his students "think there will be no repercussions for them" for U.S. crimes around the world, "that there's no blowback to them. But we know that's not true. Most of my students couldn't tell you where Kenya is."
Will Working Class Accept Capitalism's "New Deal"?
Dr. Richard Wolff, professor emeritus of economics at the University of Massachusetts, at Amherst, said "the world of capitalism has decided to move on, to abandon the United States, western Europe and Japan, and to go where, for them, the grass is greener." Therefore, corporations now offer the U.S. working class a "new deal": "No more rising wages, no more rising standard of living, and your children are going to live less well than you do." The future will be determined by whether the working class accepts the terms of that arrangement.

The Shutdown Game
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
What's at stake in the partial "shutdown" of government? Certainly not Obamacare, which was never in danger. It's all an exercise in drawing fake lines in the sandbox, so that the bipartisan business of gutting entitlement programs can recommence. Next stop: Grand Bargain junction.
Detroit and America's Racial "Exceptionalism"
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by executive editor Glen ford
A great Black metropolis is about to be disassembled, thoroughly financialized for sale – yet there is no national outcry – "which can only mean that there exists an effective white consensus that African Americans are not fully deserving of those rights."

Assata, JZ and Beyonce: The Connection
"Domestic law enforcement is at odds" with President Obama because of his "new approach to Latin America and the war on drugs," said Dhoruba bin Wahad, former Black Panther and co-founder of the Black Liberation Army. According to bin Wahad, who spent 19 years in prison on political charges, Obama is seeking to "calm the shift in power to the Left in Latin America" in his second term. "JZ going to Cuba, getting a visa, was not coincidental," he said. The recent JZ-Beyonce "trip was about opening up Cuba" to U.S. tourism, "to disrupt and undo the Cuban revolution." Exiled former Black Panther Assata Shakur's elevation to number one domestic terrorist on the FBI list "represents the disgruntlement of U.S. law enforcement" with this process.
The Betrayal of the Black Misleadership Class
The Black political class that emerged from the tumult of the Sixties became eager partners with corporate neoliberalism, said Jay Arena, author of Driven from New Orleans: How Non-Profits Betray Public Housing and Promote Privatization. The first generation of the post-Sixties Black political class "emerges just at the time when the national state begins their neoliberal austerity and privatization agenda – and they embraced that," said Arena, a veteran activist and professor of sociology at the College of Staten Island, New York. Many Black politicians and non-profit organizations collaborated in the dismantling of public housing in New Orleans and cities across the nation.
Superpower Woes in Syria
"The United States, and any other imperialist nation on earth, has no right" to interfere with the internal affairs of Syria, said Jeff Mackler, national secretary of Socialist Action. Washington's ambitions in Syria have been frustrated because "they don't have any forces on the ground that they can trust to defend their interests." The U.S. faced a similar situation in Iraq, and has no reliable allies on the ground in Afghanistan, either, said Mackler.

Freedom Rider: What Ails the GOP
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
The Republicans have stripped down their constituency to only "the worst of the worst" Americans: "white supremacists, misogynists and other dead enders." Obama's Democrats have absorbed the rest of the GOP, to become the New Republican Party of austerity and war.

Black Michigan Under Emergency Financial Boot
"About 54 percent of the Black population in our state will not have the right to vote in local elections" because of Michigan's imposition of emergency financial managers over cities and school districts, said John Philo, director of Sugar Law Center. "It's an economic model that says the only way out of a fiscal crisis is to cut services to those in need, privatize public resources," and break public sector unions, said Philo. Detroit's new emergency manager was a partner in a law firm whose clients make up more than half the Fortune 500 corporations.
Social Security Supporters "Disappointed" in Obama
The president of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare fired off a letter to the White House, last week. "It seems the president is determined to remind everybody that he's willing to offer a new formula for determining the cost of living adjustment for recipients" – which is a cut, said Max Richtman. "We're all very disappointed."
Brooklyn Blacks Continue Protests in Police Killing
Police blanketed the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, as residents staged protests against the killing of 16 year-old Kimani Gray. Carl Dix, of Stop Stop-and-Frisk, who led a rally on Sunday, said: "Anybody with even an ounce of justice needs to come and stand with the people in this neighborhood, because if you don't do that, you're leaving them alone face all the oppression that the systems brings down."
Collegiate Anti-Incarceration Campaign
Students Against Mass Incarceration (SAMI) hold their national conference at Howard University, in Washington, April 19 and 20, under the theme, "Where Do We Go From Here: Re-Energizing the Black Student Movement." "We hope to come out of the conference with a national plan of action," said organizer Haji Conteh.
Racial Disparity in Incarceration Narrows
The gap between Black and white imprisonment rates has narrowed in recent years, according to a new study by The Sentencing Project. The trend is the result of "a declining rate of incarceration for Black men coming at the same times as a rising rate for white men," said Project director Marc Mauer. The shrinkage of the gap among women was even more dramatic. Fewer Blacks are being sentenced to long prison terms for drugs, while larger numbers of whites are incarcerated, typically for methamphetamines.
Civil Rights Heroine Honored
Claudette Colvin, who was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus - nine months before Rosa Parks - will be honored by the People's Organization for Progress, in Newark, New Jersey, March 28. Black movement leaders didn't think Colvin and three other young women fit the image they wanted to present of Black people. "We were rejects," Colvin laughed. But Colvin's case was the one that went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which overturned the bus segregation law. "Rosa Parks was the right person for the time," said Colvin, but "we are disappointed that no one tells how the bus boycott came to an end, successfully."

The Sequestration Tango: Obama and GOP Dance Through the Graveyard of the New Deal
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by executive editor Glen Ford
The Obama regime has been remarkably successful – in pushing forward a Republican agenda. Obama, especially, has "moved with such elegance and poise, his fans forgot that he was dancing with a partner: the GOP." Together, they have starved the federal beast and forged a consensus on the inevitability of austerity. Let the gruesome-twosome take a bow.

Obama's State of the Corporate Union
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
President Obama's State of the Union address makes it official: the 2012 election has brought us back to 2011, when the outlines of his grand bargain with the Republicans became clear. In his vision for future, "austerity in people's programs is traded for tax breaks for corporations that will, in totally discredited theory, bring back the jobs they had outsourced overseas."
The White House Un-Reality Show
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
Despite the fact that "it was Barack Obama who began the current austerity offensive in the weeks before delivering his first inaugural address," the president was allowed to pose as a champion of the social safety net. Having redefined war, he once again claims to be a peacemaker. "By cheering the inaugural speech, progressives are only encouraging Obama's gaming and mendacity."
Connecting the Dots to a Frightening Future
by Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III
Austerity, perpetually high unemployment and other aspects of the New Domestic Order are creating a new "precariat" – a class condemned to permanent precariousness and insecurity.
Don't You Dare Conflate MLK and Obama
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
If Dr. King were alive today, there might be a Black president, but he or she would certainly not get MLK's support if he behaved like Barack Obama. Dr. King would oppose Obama's wars, "make Wall Street scream, and attempt to render the nation ungovernable under the dictatorship of the Lords of Capital."
Listen to Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network, with Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey – week of January 14, 2013
What Would Dr. King Do?
Were he alive today, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would "highlight Wall Street criminality," "war crimes coming out of the White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department" and "the social crimes of the New Jim Crow, the criminal justice system, which is itself criminal," said Dr. Cornel West, of the Union Theological Seminary, in New York. "Martin would be very, very sad when he looked at the fraudulent character of Black leadership, the massive capitulation to the White House."
The slain civil rights leader "would be in righteous opposition to the American regime of austerity and war, and to a president and his administration that is in the vanguard of it," according to Dr. Anthony Monteiro, professor of African American Studies at Temple University, in Philadelphia. "King was, at the end of the day, a democratic revolutionary. He was calling for an uprising to the forces of injustice and war," said Monteiro. In contrast, today's "Black petit bourgeoisie are more interested in their own comfort than they are in social justice."
Black Women's Wage Gap
The wage gap between men and African American women is 70 cents on the dollar, according to a study of U.S. Census Bureau data by the National Partnership for Women and Families. Sarah Crawford, the group's director of workplace fairness, said "nearly 40 percent of households headed by African American women are living in poverty, so this lost pay in particularly critical for those families. The difference in earnings amounts to more than $14,000 each year."
Fictional Fiscal Crisis
"The conservatives, the Republicans, the business lobby, have been allowed to control the debate" over fiscal policy "because they've created the idea that we have this big deficit crisis," said Dean Baker, co-director of the Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research. "And it really is a fiction." Such false assumptions are why "programs like Medicare and Social Security are on the chopping block."
Pace of Police Killings of Blacks Increases
Kali Akuno, one of the authors of last year's Malcolm X Grassroots Movement report on extrajudicial killings of Blacks, said "we are already noticing that, by our count, there's been ten Black men who've been killed by police in 2013, and that's faster than the pace of 2012." Akuno spoke earlier this month on a National Forum on Police Brutality and Institutional Racism, on Your World News, hosted by Solomon Comissiong and Peter Fowler.
Obama's War Mongers
"Virtually everybody on the top echelon of the Obama foreign policy team, they all backed the Iraq War," points out Sam Husseini, communications director of the Institute for Public Accuracy. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, tapped for Secretary of Defense, fits the bill. John Brennan, the White House intelligence advisor who got the president's nod to head the CIA, meets every week with Obama "to decide who they are going to kill," said Husseini. "He at one point claimed that there were no civilian deaths from the drone program, though we know there are civilian deaths."

Obama's Steady Road to Austerity
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
President Obama has been remarkably disciplined and focused in his four-year pursuit of a "grand austerity bargain" with the GOP. "With this month's agreement to make Bush's tax cuts permanent for 98 percent of the public, Obama and the Republicans' positions are closer than ever." It seems that soon, the axes may start to fall.
Listen to Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network, with Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey – Week of January 7, 2013
Both Parties Sabotaging Entitlement Programs
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid "have been set up to take the fall for the nation's deficit," said Dr. Maya Rockeymoore, president of Washington-based Global Policy Solutions. President Obama "views it as his legacy to rein in entitlement programs while creating this grand bargain" with the Republicans. Those who expected a more progressive Obama in his second term are mistaken. "I think that the president did not make a Freudian slip in his first debate when he said that he and Mitt Romney actually agree on Social Security."
EPA Chief Used Alias
Lisa Jackson was forced to resign as chief of the Environmental Protection Agency because she conducted some of her public duties under an alias, said famed whistleblower Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo, of the NO FEAR Coalition. Jackson was "extremely upset" with the Occupy Movement, which staged demonstrations against "her cowardly behavior" as guardian of the environment. Dr. Coleman-Adebayo believes Jackson used her alias to cloak her role in government spying on movement activists.
End Stop-and-Frisk
"We feel that 2013 has to be a year of rising resistance to stop-and-frisk in the streets and in the courtrooms," said Carl Dix, a founder of Stop Mass Incarceration Network. "We're not talking about mending an injustice; we're talking about ending it." The capitalist system is incapable of providing a "future for millions and millions of young people growing up in the urban areas of the country," said Dix. "You can put Black faces in high places, but if it's the same system that has oppressed and exploited you, it's not going to change. Revolution is the solution."
Big Brother Obama Hears All
President Obama has shown himself to be a more aggressive foe of civil liberties than George Bush. "Absolutely, we've seen this to be true from the FISA authorization, to the use of drones, and with the NDAA" preventive detention bill, said Samantha Peetros, spokesperson for the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. Just before New Years, Obama signed a five-year extension of legislation allowing warrantless phone and email surveillance.
Charters Crowding Out Public Schools in Philly
"I think that there is a growing movement among decision makers to shut the door on public education," said W. Curtis Thomas, a Black state lawmaker from Philadelphia. The city has targeted 60 public schools for closing, while expanding charter schools by 5,000 seats. "The decision to move kids towards these charter schools is really an effort to resegregate a system that was never totally integrated, anyway," said Rep. Thomas.

Obama and GOP Play Tag Team on Entitlements
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
Not only is the 'fiscal cliff" a phony, manufactured issue, there is fundamental agreement between the White House and Republicans in Congress on how this game should end: with entitlements in tatters. "Austerity is the common language and goal of the talks."

Wal-Mart's War on Workers
Last week's job actions at Wal-Mart facilities around the U.S. are largely a response to cuts imposed on employee hours. "Wal-Mart has been experiencing a squeeze at the sales level and, therefore, putting a squeeze on their employees," said journalist Liza Featherstone, who has covered the world's biggest corporation for more than a decade. "In recent years, they've made it much more difficult for workers to work full time."
"Fiscal Cliff" is Phony
"It's a purely manufactured crisis," said Arun Gupta, co-founder of The Indypendent and The Occupied Wall Street Journal, referring to the so-called "fiscal cliff" of spending cuts and tax increases looming over the U.S. economy. "Both parties are committed to austerity policies," he said. "The danger with Obama is that he will be able to force through cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare because there is no opposition on his left flank."
Mobilization in Defense of Affirmative Action
Activists plan to mobilize "hundreds of thousands" of young people in support of a recent federal court decision that struck down a ban on affirmative action programs at Michigan public universities. "Black and Latino high school and middle school students will be leading the line of march," said Monica Smith, a lawyer for Detroit-based BAMN, By Any Means Necessary. "This shows that when you fight, you can win."
U.S. Wages War on Congo
The United States has protected, armed and financed countries complicit in the genocide that has killed at least six million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1996, said Kambale Musavuli, of Friends of Congo. U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice "has blocked UN reports" of Rwanda and Uganda's crimes in Congo, including support for the so-called rebels that captured the provincial capital of Goma, earlier this month. "She has to be doing so with the blessing of the White House," said Musavuli.

Big Win for Affirmative Action in Education
Affirmative action advocates believe they have a chance to prevail at the U.S. Supreme Court, following an appeals panel ruling that struck down Michigan's ban on affirmative action in college admissions. "We will immediately be asking the University of Michigan to reinstate" affirmative action programs, said George Washington, lead attorney for Detroit-based By Any Means Necessary. "There has been a one-third to 50 percent drop" in minority admissions since the ban took effect, he said.
Stop-and Frisk Protesters Claim Partial Victory
Four activists charged with serious offenses stemming from a protest at a Queens, New York City police precinct, last year, were acquitted of all but disorderly conduct charges. "We view the results of this trial as a victory, because they were going for convictions" that carry one-year jail sentences, said Stop Stop-and-Frisk organizer Carl Dix. Charges are still pending against nine others arrested in Queens, and another group of demonstrators in Brooklyn. "We are going to make these trials a part of this fight" against police abuse of power, said Dix.
Obama Can't Pass Buck on Extra-Judicial Killings of Blacks
By the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement's count, more than 140 African Americans have been murdered by police and others under cloak of authority since the start of 2012. President Obama is obligated to deploy the full powers of the federal government to compel law enforcement agencies to "respect the human rights of Black people," said MXGM. "At the end of the day, they are all still held accountable by the Department of Justice, which, last time I checked, is under [the President's] direct control," said spokesman Kali Akuno. "We won't let him pass the buck."
Whose Fiscal Cliff?
The elevation of deficit reduction "to the be-all and end-all of policy discussion in Washington really is what's driving some Democrats away" from their traditional defense of Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, said Chris Hellman, of the National Priorities Project. By endorsing the Simpson-Bowles proposals, President Obama has "made it clear that he is at least willing to discuss some changes in those programs." Obama is more than willing to impose sever austerity, said Kevin Zeese, of Occupy Washington DC. "He's going to be giving away the store," said Zeese. "Every constituency that supported Obama is going to lose in this negotiation."
Wal-Mart Squeezes Workers
"We have to borrow money from each other just to make it to work," said Colby Harris, a 3-year Wal-Mart employee from Dallas, Texas. Wal-Mart workers have staged strikes and other actions to protest low wages, poor healthcare benefits, management disrespect and – the latest insult – plans to keep stores open on Thanksgiving. Labor economist and former Bennett College president Julianne Malveaux said "it's especially egregious when Wal-Mart, the largest and richest company in our country, engages in these activities." Workers complain they are limited to less than 30-hour weeks, to deprive them of healthcare benefits. "This is an oppressive matrix," said Malveaux.

Obama's Second Term: Four More Years of Groundhog Days
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
President Obama has nearly consummated his long courtship with the GOP, yet Black and labor leaders continue to pretend that he is a bulwark against austerity. In an even more nightmarish version of Groundhog Day, "the behavior of the Black and labor leadership actors remains the same, as the economic and political landscape crumbles around them."
Freedom Rider: Grand Bargain is the Satan Sandwich
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
President Obama is taking his case for a grand austerity bargain with the Republicans on the road, moving us "closer to eliminating the threadbare safety net." Not so long ago, it would have been inconceivable that a Democratic president barnstorm the country, "loudly and publicly demanding support for making right wing fantasies come true."
The Democrats Prepare for a Post-Election Grand Compromise with the GOP
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi has withdrawn her objections to the Simpson-Bowles austerity budget – which is, in reality, President Obama's plan. "The way is clear for the Democrats to move another step to the right and embrace Simpson-Bowles $4 trillion in spending cuts that will eviscerate what's left of the social safety net."

The Real Expendables: Austerity Is Community Choking
by BAR editor and columnist Jared A. Ball
The great euphemism of the day is "austerity" a word deployed by the rich and their servants, like President Obama, "to distract people from the fact that the country's so-called 'economic and deficit crises' could be easily corrected if the wealthy are appropriately taxed and the military budget cut." Austerity distinguishes between the rich and powerful from the poor and expendable.

When hay macerators finally reach U.S. alfalfa fields, growers won't buy them just because they dry hay faster.
Maceration makes hay more digestible, according to a recent California study. The findings verify the results of earlier trials.
Macerators - machines that severely condition forage - have been under development for a number of years. They were expected to be available to U.S. growers by now, but none have been introduced. New Holland, however, is said to be testing one.
Studies have shown that macerated alfalfa dries faster than that cut with conventional equipment. The reduced drying time could help avoid rain damage, minimize yield losses from traffic damage and permit more timely irrigation, says University of California-Davis extension forage specialist Dan Putnam.
"These factors could increase yield by approximately 10%," he says.
In the California study, alfalfa was harvested July 31 at two maturity stages - 31 and 45 days after the previous cutting. The alfalfa was macerated with a mini-macerator on loan from the USDA-ARS Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, WI.
The researchers used a fistulated cow to measure digestion. They placed alfalfa samples in nylon bags and inserted them into the rumen for varying periods. Then they measured the undigested material.
Digestion was the same for the 31- and 45-day alfalfas. But there were dramatic differences between macerated and non-macerated forage.
"With the macerated forage, approximately 34% of the plant dry matter was immediately soluble or released to the rumen," Putnam reports. "With the non-macerated samples, only 18% of the forage was immediately soluble."
The difference was evident throughout the digestive process. Even at 48 hours, there were significant differences.
"With maceration, cells are apparently ruptured, making more surface area available for immediate microbial degradation," says Putnam.
"There's a lag time associated with the digestion of the fiber in forage," explains Tim Kraus, a New Holland engineer who assisted with the study. "It takes eight to 10 hours before digestion actually begins. When the forage is macerated, the lag time is reduced. As soon as the cow swallows the forage, she can start digesting it and converting it into usable energy."
The mini-macerator conditioned the alfalfa more severely than would a field-size unit, cautions Putnam.
"The improvement in digestibility we measured should be viewed as the upper limit to what can be achieved through maceration, rather than the expected improvement," he states.
He says further studies are needed to measure maceration's impact on milk production.

Translate this page Camp Pendleton Marine killed in skydiving accident identified as Caleb Medley of ColoradoTuesday, February 26th, 2013 Issue 09, Volume 17.
Caleb Medley of Burlington, Colo., suffered fatal injuries about 3 p.m. Tuesday when his parachute apparently failed to deploy properly and he fell into a storage yard in the 2000 block of Goetz Road, just north of Perris Valley Airport, according to the Riverside County Coroner's Office. He died at the scene. Medley was taking part in training exercises with a group of fellow Marines at the time of his death, sheriff's Sgt. Lisa McConnell told reporters. The circumstances of the accident were under investigation. (previous story) U.S. Marine from Camp Pendleton killed in skydiving accident PERRIS - An investigation was under way today into the death of a U.S. Marine from Camp Pendleton who was killed in a skydiving accident near Perris Valley Airport. County firefighters were dispatched about 3 p.m. on a report of an injured skydiver at or near 2000 Goetz Road, north of where Perris Valley Skydiving is located at the airport, according to Jody Hagemann of the Riverside County Fire Department. The man was declared dead at the scene, she said. The victim was doing training exercises at Perris Valley Skydiving with a group of Marines from Camp Pendleton at the time of his death, Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Lisa McConnell told the Riverside Press-Enterprise. The circumstances of the accident were under investigation and the man's identity was being withheld pending notification of his family, Capt. Alex H. Lim, a Marine Corps spokesman, told the newspaper. The skydiver landed in a 10-acre storage yard on the grounds of construction equipment auction company Western Construction Auctions, company CEO Eric Kazakoff, told The Press-Enterprise. "The parachute didn't open ... There was not a lot anybody could do," he told the paper. Man dies in skydiving accident PERRIS - A skydiver died today in an accident near Perris Valley Airport, a county fire department spokeswoman said. It was unclear what went wrong, but county firefighters were dispatched about 3 p.m. on a report of an injured skydiver at or near 2000 Goetz Road, according to Jody Hagemann of the Riverside County Fire Department. The man was declared dead at the scene, she said. Perris Valley Skydiving is at the airport. 21 comments
Was this a Marine Corps training exersice? The article implyes it was; unusal that this was done at a civilian Airport and Iam guessing civilian gear.
Yes it was a Marine Corps training exercise. It's not unusual for the Marines to train at perris. Many foreign military train there as well. They were using military rigs.
There is a Caleb Medley who was a survivor (although seriously injured) of the Aurora, CO theatre shootings; seems unlikely but the name is unique -- this isn't the same guy, is it? Both from CO?
Marine Recon units use civilian drop zones regularly as they can get more jumps and better training value for the dollar. Perris Valley has facilities set up for this type of training with all SpecOps units.
In response to Curious, no this is not the same Caleb Medley. I am from Burlington, the same town as this young marine. He will be sorely missed by his parents, his sister & 3 brothers. He was an upstanding young man. Our community mourns with his family.
This was a wonderful young man from Burlington, Colorado. He was loved by his community, family, and friends for helping keep us safe and serving his country. He comes from a wonderful, loving family who will miss him dearly. Anyone from Burlington who knew this fine Marine is heart broken.
Thanks Marine and 0451 for straightening me out.
No it is not the same Caleb Medley, there is at least 3 years difference in their ages. RIP warrior, fw&fs.
I had the honor of serving with Caleb on his first tour in 06'. He was undoubtably one of the best. You'll be missed brother RIP.
Sad day. RIP and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Looking for service information. Caleb was one of my dearest friends and I would like to attend. thank you. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
God's speed Devil Dog. As our hymn states, "If the Army and Navy ever look on Heavens scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines" Our Recon community lost a great Marine.
RIP All soldiers go to heaven!
Its sad because he was our neighbor in Burlington and we watched him ship off. He also would spend the night with my older brother, who is currently in the military.
Its interesting to read about this. I was originally an 0451 turned 0321. It is and it isn't unusual to have an exercise as such on a civilian airport. Especially when March AFB is next door. Perris on the other hand has had one of the worst safety records of SD/FF jumps since the 90s. Many instructors I knew since then on longer live. Either way its a sad day within 1stRB. Rest in Peace Brother Recon.
He was an amazing young man. He was a true role model. He died doing what he loved and what he believed in. I was blessed to have known him and watch him grow up into the fine Marine that he was. He had a smile like no other and he will be truly missed by all that knew him. His services are tentatively set for Wednesday March 6th in Burlington
Caleb was a good brother and friend, he would make us laugh all the time and that any time with him was comical. He will always live in our hearts and we will miss Brother Recon. Love you BROTHER!!! NEVER ABOVE YOU, NEVER BELOW YOU, ALWAYS BESIDE YOU!!!
Rest in peace Marine. Our sympathy to your family. God bless all our servicemen.
I went to school with Caleb in Burlington. He was a wonderful person. Came from an Amazing family. Rest in peace Caleb hanks for your service.

by Dominic Devito Sound Ordnance's rugged Bass Bunker enclosures come built to last and ready to help your sub deliver real low-frequency firepower. These unloaded boxes feature high-grade, medium-density fiberboard construction, with sealed inner braces that help combat resonance by reducing vibrations. Rounded outside corners and recessed panels allow them to fit into more vehicles, while tough black carpeting defends against incoming nicks and scratches. Bass Bunkers make a great solution when building your own box is not an option. The BB122-100S sealed enclosure holds two 12" subwoofers and offers an internal volume of 1.03 cubic feet per chamber. Just add the right subs, amp, and wiring, then mount the enclosure securely, and you're ready to hit the road with some real bass artillery in your arsenal. Warning: This enclosure does not include mounting hardware. If you're buying a sub from us, please check "What's in the Box?" to see if screws are included. If not, you should have an assortment of heavy-duty wood screws on hand for the installation. Product Highlights:sealed hatchback style enclosure for two 12" subwoofers5/8" MDF (medium-density fiberboard) with black carpet coveringcutout size: 11-1/16"internal volume: 1.03 cubic feet per chamberdimensions: 27-1/2"W x 14-3/8"H x 13-7/16"D1 x 10-1/4"D2warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why do I need an enclosure? An enclosure is simply the box that houses your sub; sealed and ported enclosures are the most popular types. A sealed enclosure is usually smaller in size, sacrificing a little volume level to deliver more accurate bass. The ported enclosure features a vent which allows bass waves to escape from behind the mounted sub, augmenting the bass coming off the front of the sub. Ported boxes are louder, bigger, and a little less accurate. Every sub works best in the size and type of enclosure that's recommended by the manufacturer, so make sure you match your sub with the right box.
Not Bad Written By Michael B, South Carolina on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Worth the money I suppose. Just not crazy about compressed wood, easy to mess up! Put two Infinity Kappa 12's in and they fit perfect, sounds pretty good. Binding posts are descent, internal wiring is to small (14-16awg), changed it to a good true 12awg. Other than that, seems like a good build and quality box. Also almost impossible to put t-nuts in, slant the woofer to make all fit, careful not to strip putting screws in, very hard to get in space to hammer down. Good luck, I gave up on the second one..! Pros: Good build and seal Cons: Compressed sawdust and small internal wiring for 12" box
Great sound Written By Clintro, Tampa, FL on Sunday, February 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound. Good quality build. Pros: Great price and quality Cons: None

Awesome sound Written By Mike260, North Manchester in on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound Pros: Fits great in my car Cons: The distance between the 2 subs isn't much they touch a little bit
Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker Written By MonkeyDave, Killen,AL on Monday, September 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Solid box. The mounting holes are a little close together but the kickers I put in fit fine. I don't recommend inverting it tends to topple over while driving. Pros: Comes completely assembled Cons: Needs a wider bottom for more stability if you want to mount your subs with magnets out

Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker Written By sal, clarks ne on Thursday, February 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great box...
Worthless Written By Andrew, Maine on Monday, December 12, 2011 Box simply would not work. The space between the two speaker holes is way too small. There is less then an inch of space between the cutouts rendering this box useless with most 12 inch subs. The speakers overlap making it impossible to mount. Had to send it back, what a waste of time. Pros: Was not able to use.
Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker Written By JT, Long Beach, CA on Sunday, October 23, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) well constructed dual subwoofer box with quality binding posts included. Pros: Free with 2 subwoofer purchase
Really Nice Box Written By Shaun, Pawtucket, RI on Sunday, August 21, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought it scratch and dent for 67$ the dent was not noticeable and was hard to find. Great quality gold push connectors with wires pre-installed and stripped. The box construction is of dense particle wood, not real cheap stuff from home depot.

Washi Tunic for Me!
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
i've been busy knitting but i've also been sewing. i couldn't resist whipping up another washi after making my dress. this time i decided to do a tunic. i originally was going for rae's version with sleeves and maybe a peter pan collar but the universe was against me. never try cutting out your clothing pattern pieces when you have kids running wild around you. after some silly mistakes (some that weren't even mine) i ended up running out of fabric and didn't have enough left to do the sleeves or collar. i also omitted the pockets...lol. but even though the end result wasn't what i had originally visioned i love it no less. i've been wearing it non stop and cannot rave enough about this awesome pattern.
i used one of my fave prints from last year "afro fusion dusk" from indie by pat bravo for art gallery fabrics. it's soft and has a lovely drape. i couldn't resist adding the same vintage mustard bias for my armholes and neckline that i did for my original washi dress. i did a plain rounded neckline that i finished with the mustard bias and some double top stitching for fun which i also repeated on the hemline. i also decided to add a casing with elastic for the back this time instead of doing the shirring. you can find a tutorial on how to do this on rae's blog here. i didn't line mine though. i simply made a casing and topstitched it down in position and fed the elastic through. when i sewed my side seams down it closed the ends of the casing. it's super fast, easy and i love the result. i recommend it if you don't feel comfortable sewing shirring or your machine acts up with it. mine has suddenly realized it hates shirring. no idea why...lol.
i hope to show you some pics soon of me actually wearing the tunic but with our dreary, grey, and rainy weather here the timing just always seems to be off for the hubs to take pics of me and it's just too dark in my condo to take shots of myself. hopefully i'll be able to show you all soon. in the meantime i put it on sally, my lovely dress form. she's not my size...not even close...haha...but i love her anyways. i use her for hanging things on and she likes to travel and do markets/craft shows with us all :) she's on loan to me from a friend and she's come in very handy. one day i will buy myself one that is my size though...lol. when i put this on her i died laughing. seriously. it really made me realize how big "my girls" were when you see it hanging off of a dress form that is the size i'd like to be. oh my....so close ups it is :) i'm sure you get the idea though :)
i've really been enjoying sewing my own clothing and hope to do a lot more this year. one of my new year's resolutions has been to sew my own pair of pants. anyone have a great pattern recommendation? i'm fed up with buying pants that just dont' fit right and make me look bigger than i am so i'd love to make some fit just for my body.
have you made your own pants before? what is your favorite pattern to use? do you have any tips for me? let's chat sewing my friends!
- afro fusion dusk from indie by pat bravo for art gallery fabrics purchased from fabricworm
- vintage mustard colored pre-made bias tape for armholes.
- washi dress by rae hoekstra (made by rae)
- size made: XL
- full bust adjustment: none
- length: mid thigh
- helpful link: sewing women's clothing post from rae (great for tips on sizing and muslins)

if you put a bra on sally, stuff it, make her a cover from knit, and then stuff it to make your measurements too you could use her. It's good to have a dress form set at no bigger than your smallest measurements and stuff it up if you want a really good representation of your own figure... if you want to try use it for draping etc. I haven't touched mine since I had Jackson and I'm a little scared to bust out the measuring tape and see what needs padding up. Maybe less carbs and more running first... ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! I do love that fabric too. Can't wait to see you model it. I was cracking up about your dress form comments....too funny! If I had a dress form I'd have to hack off her chest to mimic mine, lol! We all have our flaws, eh?
I would love to sew some pants too, but am so scared! I did see a class on craftsy.com that was about sewing a pair of pants for yourself that fits.....sounds interesting! Good luck if you try it....that's a great resolution!Oooh, I can't wait to see the modeled shots! I bet it's so pretty on! I'm kind of obsessed with that fabric right now...I'm dying to make a skirt (or a Washi!) out of it. I did get a little bit of $$ for Christmas...hmmmm.....
ReplyDeletelooks awesome!!!
ok, for pants that fit you well you have to go all out and draft a pattern. You can totally do it and it is going to make you so much happier than trying different patterns - that can always be a good start but since pants are so specific it's almost easier to just go for it. Get your hands on Cal Patch's book Design it yourself clothes. She is great at walking you through the drafting process - seriously amazing.
Go for it - and good luck!!!
christylove the tunic version! I agree - I want to see it on you!...but really, this pattern is so my style, yet another project for the list... :)
ReplyDeleteI loved making my washi dress so much I broke out the tunic pattern the next day. Love your fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting stuck into my Washi dress - first of many variations I suspect!!! I'm having to fiddle about with the bust darts though - because apparently I am .... low :)
Love the fabric.
I've had my eye on the Colerette's Clover pants. love the little pocket detail - but have to find just the right stretchy fabric first...Shannon I love your choices here - the fabric print and the Washi shirt pattern! I've been wanting to try this one.
I'll be honest with you, pants are really challenging. If your body type is not straight (mine is definitely not)! The only way to get a perfect fit is to make your own pant pattern. I've been working on my pant block for years....You can always start with a pattern, but in the end it could look totally different. I remember seeing a tutorial on Craftsy about how to draft your own pant pattern. The other challenge is the fabrics you choose to make the pants from. Every fabric will "fit" differently, especially if it has any stretch. You almost need to make a muslin first in the exact fabric you want to use for your pants. Good luck! I don't want to be discouraging. I still aspire to have great fitting pants one day too!!Seriously this post has come up at a funny time. I too have been wanting to start making more of my own clothes and though I haven't made anything I would actually wear in public aside from Halloween costumes I only just started looking into the process more seriously this year. I found the Washi Dress at Rae's site only a few weeks ago and have been hovering over the idea since. I totally fell in love with it and the idea of made to wear clothing.
Have any good tips to get me started on something ?
Thanks! ps...I love your fabric pattern.- rashoorayJanuary 16, 2013 at 8:17 AM
I second the recommendation for Sewaholic's Thurlow. Lladybird did a sewalong for them, so while making pants can be daunting, she kind of breaks it down into steps for you. I'm almost done with my second pair and I love 'em!
Love your fabric choice for your tunic. I'm another waffler about the Washi. I can't decide if it'll make me feel pregnant or not (which is not something I am going for!)

Tickets for Robbie Williams mini-tour sold out in one hour this morning.
The 'Candy' singer is set to play three nights at London's 02 arena in November, 50,000 tickets went on sale at 9am this morning and were sold out within the hour.

10 month old does not push himself to sitting
He sits well if I put him in a sitting position and pivots in all directions while sitting. He does not crawl, but creeps a little. He mostly rolls. He can only stand while leaning on sofa or is in exercauser. His doc says I should get him evaluated by the early intervention people and they are coming to see baby in a week. But I can't wait that long, I am sick with worry. I'd feel better if he walked early or started cruising but I don't know how to coach him. Any comments or suggestions? Please help, I am losing sleep over this!

hi could u tell what happened with your child my son is the same thing cant push to sitting and cant crawlposted 08/01/2013 by miss_fabulouspt
i have the same problem with my 10 months old daughter. I am very anxious.Now, after reading all the posts, i feel more ease and decide to stop my anxiety and enjoy with my little daughter.Thanks.posted 07/02/2013 by hnhan41182
my daughter is now 13 months old. she was born a month early to her due date. she could sit unsupported if we keep her in that position since she was 7 mnths. but she was not pulling herself up to sit or not crawling even on her 11th month. suddenly one day she pulled herself to sitting position(12th month). now she stands up holding things though not crawling. my doctor told she is perfectly fine and as she was a premiee she might be little delayed in achieving her motor skills. he told she'll walk by her 15th month. Waiting for those first steps.... :)posted 09/04/2012 by rej86
my ds is 10 months old. he can sit if i put him in that position. can't sit on his own. can't crawl too. our dr suggested early intervention first step. we r still debating whether to get our son evaluated. one thing is good to know that we r not alone. i agree each baby has own milestones. when people ask, i become more anxious.posted 07/10/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
My son is 11 months and does not pull up either. He does the army crawl, he was tiny at birth but NOT premature. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying he walks soon...he is a happy baby despite all these. They will get there; hang in there!!!posted 02/23/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Im wondering if anyone has gotten any answers and how their baby is doing now. I currently have a 10 month old baby boy who also does not put himself in a sitting postion on his own but if i put him there he sits great! He will pull up from a sitting positon using my fingers and while in the crib but otherwise can't. He just recently in the past week has started doing a low crawl that isn't very coordinated, but has never gotten up on all fours. I had him evauluated by a development specialist and she said that she doesnt see any reason as to why he's not doing these things. It still leaves me concerned though as to why he's not. He's always been very laid back and somewhat lazy but im still concerned.posted 01/27/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi, My daughter is 10 months old, she still does not sit up on her own if we make her sit, she sits fine for s long time. She does not crawl on all 4's just does the commando crawl. I am lil worried too my ped says she should be standing now & has asked to call early interventions, i am just holding of on it. I want to give her a lil more time may be a week more. i just want the best for her. If i compare all teh other kids who are walking at 8 mnths i really get worried. After reading your post, i realise i am not the only one who is loosing sleep over this. I pray for all our babies to be healthy n happy. Just hang in thr moms!!posted 07/09/2010 by ts13_mom
I was worried when my 7 month old could not sit up by herself, she started sitting up by the time I had her evaluated. She is almost 9 months and can not get to a sitting position by herself yet. I have decided to stop worrying and just enjoy my baby. She may be behind the curve a little but I am okay with it. She will do everything in her own time.posted 06/05/2010 by addy919
My 9 mos old daughter also sits if I put her in that position. While on her tummy, she rocks, pivots and does tiny creeps BACKWARD (my mom tells me that I crawled backward first as a baby so it must be genetic!). She hasn't figured out that she can scoot herself FORWARD yet. Her ped. simply tells me that shes very close to crawling. She doesn't seemed worried so I TRY to remind myself that every baby's different. I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one with these concerns.posted 08/18/2009 by karakitten
As a mother of three, I would say if you can afford the evaluation, go ahead and get it. They can tell you where the weaknesses may be and advise what to work on. But, don't worry. All babies develop completely different. No two are alike. I did notice today, not enough babies get enough tummy time. They are weak in the arms and shoulders and this makes a huge difference in what they can do physically. That may be all he needs. Don't worry...just enjoy that baby every moment you can!posted 07/09/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

PouchMart recently joined with members of the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team to create several fun projects with various bags.
The creation featured below comes from Lynn's blog, Stamperosity. Let's see how Lynn made up these organza bags with tassels.
Hi crafty friends. I have a special treat for you. Some of the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design team are having a blog waltz today.
The wonderfully generous folks at PouchMart, a supplier of a wide variety of presentation pouches, has supplied each participating team member with pouches to work with. Coupled with withWaltzingmouse Stamps images, we have created fun and inventive projects to show you.
My project began with my Cameo and some American Crafts cardstock. I die cut my birthday box and then introduced it to the Pic Nic Patterns set from Waltzingmouse Stamps. They were instant friends. I stamped along the bottom part of the "birthday box" and then colored the Happy Birthday words and butterfly along the top with Copic markers. It's impossible to tell, but I went over the butterfly with my Spica Glitter pens, giving it
such a beautiful shimmer. (with technology today, you would think someone could devise a way to get good photos of "shimmer").
My beautiful shimmery Organza pouch fit wonderfully inside the box to hold the candy inside, making this project birthday presentable for a co-worker of mine who LOVES Werther's candies (a full bag is held in this pouch…my co-worker will be so happy!)
To finish off my project, I die cut a tag and used the same WMS set to embellish it. I love the way it turned out and she can even keep the pouch for later use as these Organdy bags hold their shape well, and are great little jewelry caddies for separating items that could get tangled in transit (did I mention my co-worker travels often?).
Thanks for popping in today. Until next time – stay crafty.

About Mally Mall
Music and Film Producer, Jamal Rashid aka 'Mally Mall', was destined to revolutionize and take the entertainment industry by storm. Mally Mall has developed an unprecedented ear for music and a truly creative vision for film. Utilizing his Brazilian and Egyptian heritage, his sound is a mixture of Urban Hip Hop with a Middle Eastern and South American twist, evolving into Pop and Rock Music. He has successfully embraced all genres of music known today. Born and raised in Northern California, commonly known as the Bay Area, Mally Mall's love for music evolved at an early age, heavily influenced by Bay Area legendary producers Ant Banks and Rick Rock. His career began with music and remains to be his true passion and motivation. MallyMall, his labels MallyMall Music and Future Music, and his innovative team have produced for a multitude of artists, from up and coming artists to veterans such as Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Tyga, Drake, Yelawolf, Bone Thugs in Harmony, E40, Usher, 50 Cent, The Game, Shawty Lo, Redman, Lupe Fiasco, Slim from 112 and the list goes on and on. MallyMall continues to diversify his assortment of sounds while working with many of today's acclaimed producers, artists, and songwriters. His business partner and close friend, songwriting extraordinaire and Grammy award winning producer Jason 'PooBear' Boyd, serves a as strong lead within the Future Music and MallyMall camp. He has created several Top 10 hits such as "Transform Ya" with Chris Brown, Swiss Beats, and Lil Wayne, "Peaches and Cream" by 112, "Caught Up" with Usher to name a select few. MallyMall increased his drive to persevere in the industry when long time friend and Bay Area Rapper Andre Hicks pka 'Mac Dre', RIP, passed away unexpectedly. "This was profound and moving time in my life, which made me reflect on how short and valuable the gifts of life and talent really are, and that I should follow my dreams and passions." -Mally Mall.
MallyMall has since successfully tackled the music industry and is simultaneously taking over the film industry by storm with his much acclaimed documentary "2 Turntables and a Microphone, The Life and Death of Jam Master J" alongside Executive Producer 50 Cent. MallyMall and his business partner Eugene "Big U" Henley have produced smash hits by teaming up with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Nipsey Hussle, Ladee Kaylea, Sean Cartier, and producer King David under their label Blu Magic Music.
MallyMall has earned the respect and recognition by Top Media Executives, Managers, A&R's, Radio Personalities, and a roster of superstar artists internationally after many years of hard work, dedication, and diligence to the game. Currently, MallyMall is in the studio with various A-list artists such as YelaWolf, Drake, Tyga, Lupe Fiasco, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Memphis Bleek, Pusha T, Cheetah, and 2 Chains along side Future Music's up and coming rapper phenomenon Jazz Lazer. With the list growing at an uncontrollable rate, he still has time in his hectic and crazy schedule to Executive Produce his partner in Future Music Poo Bear aka MDMA (Most Devoted Musician Alive) and his debut as an artist. His unparalleled team is made up of the extraordinary talent such as powerhouse producers The Audibles and music groups such as Edamami, Jazz, Love, Pyro, 1500, DJ Franzen, Sasha, so he sends a message… Don't get ready, stay ready… the future is Future Music.
