"For with God nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37 (KJV)

We all know the word "imagination," but do we really understand the principles of using our imagination? Let's delve deep into our imaginations to understand it better. As a child, I used to imagine lots of things, like making imaginary roads in the sand in the garden, the cows in the pasture became my audience, where I gave speeches as they all watched.

Sadly, we somehow forget about this imaginary world when we discover life and bills to pay and grown up things to do. Separate the word "imagination" into its various components and you get "Image" and "ion." The "Image" is the seeing of something physical. The "ion" part refers to the action. Napoleon Hill says: "the more we use our imagination, the more it will deliver its physical form."

Last week, in my second grade class, the lesson was imagination. Another teacher came in to work with the class in small groups. They had to come up with a new invention for the future. My group decided to create a playground protector robot, to frighten dangerous strangers away. It would call the police, and would shoot a special ray that would cause the bad guy to pass out until police could arrive.

People who really used their imagination, were the people who changed the world. Let's just look at a couple of them. The Wright brothers imagined being able to fly up in the sky. And after carefully planning, and trying a whole bunch of things (action), using their imagination to find different ways of doing things, they finally got their converted bicycle machine to fly in the air.

The light bulb used to be a flicker of a lit wick in oil that burned until the oil in the lamp was finished. Many people were employed to go and light these wicks at dusk so that there would be light in the streets at night, until one man used his imagination while watching the thunder and lightning one evening and decided that there had to be a better way. We all know the story of Thomas Edison. Yes! He invented the light bulb after 1,000 attempts, but did you know that he first had to harness the power of electricity? Now how did he harness this powerful concept? He used his imagination repeatedly until he found a way.

Our lives today have become so fast-paced that we almost forget about this amazing ability that we all possess! I quote Mr. Hill: "The only imagination is what one sets up in their mind." Never underestimate this powerful, forgotten little treasure we used to use.

James Allen says, "Our minds are like a garden, if you don't use them, weeds will grow, but if you plant and water and look after your thoughts … you will have a beautiful garden."

Did you ever watch the movie "Limitless" which shows how with the help of a mysterious pill that enables the user to access 100% of his/her brain's abilities, a struggling writer becomes a financial wizard, but it also puts him in a new world with many dangers. Jim Rohn says, "It's not the blowing of the wind that determines our destiny, it's the set of the sail."

Did you set your sail, or are you allowing your ship to go wherever the wind blows? Do you really know what you want from your business? Do you know what it is you would like to have left behind one day when you die? Imagine how your life would change once you reach your top goals you've set, and go beyond that and make it even higher.

Take some time out for yourself and really think about what you want and where you want to go. This will help you to conceptualize the images and circumstances that will make them a reality. Write these things down! Use as much detail as you can muster and remember to use all your senses. What will you see? What will you hear? What will you smell? How will you feel? What will you think when your dreams become a reality? Writing these things down will help to cement this on the screen of your mind. Then you can imagine every day and night, with great feelings, you will certainly manifest your desires. WI

Scriptures tell us we can.

BUFFALO from Page 39

want to see,” Brown said. “So, they do studies and it’s not that they can’t make money but they feel people aren’t earning enough in certain zip codes so they can make as much money as they want to make.”

Brown said that’s always been a challenge.

He noted that nearly 20 years ago, when his administration convinced Tops to come into the neighborhood, officials spoke with numerous companies to get them to open a supermarket in the area.

“Our money is as green as anyone else’s,” Brown demanded. “Black people spend a lot of their disposal income on groceries.”

During his formative years, Brown served as a Boy Scout and kept busy in the Central Queens YMCA. After graduating from August Martin High School, he traveled to the western part of New York, where he attended Buffalo State College. He graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Journalism.

Later, he earned a certificate as a senior executive in state and local government at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He made history in 2006, becoming Buffalo’s first African-American mayor. Now in his 12th year as mayor, Brown has seen a lot.

However, he quickly admits that he’d never witnessed up close the racially-motivated mayhem and murder heaped upon residents of his city.

“I’ve never gone through anything like this in my life; this is the worst mass shooting in the history of Buffalo and many of the victims of this racist attack in our community were people I knew and who lived in the same zip code,” Brown said.

He has spoken to or heard from President Joe Biden, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, each of whom has offered a range of support.

“I think so many people in the community are traumatized and feeling the pain,” he said. “Even those individuals who would normally be out there shooting at each other are feeling the pain. So, I’m praying this will bring people together like never before.”

With a record amount of state and federal resources pouring into Buffalo in the shooting’s aftermath, Brown doesn’t want anyone to forget about his city once the uproar and media attention stop.

“This can’t be a momentary thing,” he said. “Families have been broken, people are grieving and the city is traumatized. People are afraid to go to work or do their grocery shopping anywhere in the city and children are afraid to go to school.

“We must have the resources to help with the healing process. This is an act of terror in this community. The attack should bring in the same kind of resources that you usually see after a natural disaster because of the devastation this has brought to Buffalo,” Brown said. WI

The project also has received financial support from the city and the state.

In the past, I have earned the Porker of the Month award from Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), a Washington organization whose stated mission is to eliminate waste, mismanagement and inefficiency in government. Criticism by groups like CAGW is often directed at community projects like the Lake Marion Regional Water Agency (LMRWA) located in the heart of my district along a stretch of Interstate 95 derisively referred to as "the corridor of shame."

These groups maintain that state and local funds should pay for these type of efforts. Maybe they should but they don't. The counties impacted by the LMRWA have historically been neglected by the state and local governments. Many of them do not have a tax base sufficient to adequately support their schools and properly respond to the needs in their communities.

In response to LMRWA's request, I secured $19.785 million in community project funding to expand the LMRWA to provide water to areas in Orangeburg and Berkeley counties. It is because of ongoing federal support of my request for this project that South Carolina was able to attract the first American Volvo plant to the Berkeley County town of Ridgeville. Without access to potable water, this community, where 26.5 percent of the population was living in poverty in 2019, would not have been able to attract an industry that local officials said, "signals a sea change for this community." Volvo's $500 million plant is expected to create 4,000 jobs by 2030 and have an estimated $4.8 billion in total economic output annually. As economists like to say, that is an extraordinary return on the federal investment.

Another water project that similarly illustrates Washington insiders' lack of veracity regarding community project funding is the $9.95 million that Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee secured for a stormwater detention basin and culvert improvement project in Houston. She received CAGW's March 2022 Porker of the Month title for her "disregard for taxpayers" citing in part this water project. Yet, the Texas Tribune newspaper wrote CLYBURN Page 57

Also filed under FBI case number 329FAT2175733.The above named person/persons being the true and legal owner/owners of the afore mentioned property has been a victim of mortgage identity theft and criminal trespassing, among other crimes. If the property is stolen from the above named true homeowner/owners; it MUST be returned instanter; without delay. The true owner is entitled to what is hers/his without question. Mortgage identity theft occurs when the individual whose information is being used is NOT party to the financial negotiations or contract. Two types of fraud are addressed here. Fraud for profit and fraud for housing and property. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the lender or collection agency must stop all collection activity during the investigation. They cannot sell, trade, give away, donate, rent, or loan this account or property to another entity. In this case there is no legal lender or collection agency that has any rights to this or any other properties belonging to the above mentioned legal owner.

The above named person/persons are victims of fraud by the local magistrate and superior courts by the fact that magistrate courts enforced evictions that are not in their jurisdiction even after appeals had been filed and approved. The superior courts failed to hold trials on these appeals as in the State of Georgia, superior court has exclusive jurisdiction in matters of equity (…Chambliss v. Hawkings, 123 Ga. 361, 51 S.E. 337 (1905). Many of the superior courts held secret trials and ruled against the true homeowner without notifying them of a court trial. These officials, herein including All judges, sheriffs and marshals and attorneys; having knowledge of the law and the power to prevent the Constitutional deprivation of the rights of individuals; citizens, herein guaranteed Rights, with intent, without authority and under the color of law did unlawfully; engage in a conspiracy to use the offices, formalities, ceremonies, and power of the U.S. Government, and their official bonds and professional licenses to defraud and betray these individuals herein (Defendants, American Citizens) of their lawful Constitutional exercise of their 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, and 14 Amendment Rights; violated the invariant right to truth in evidence, violations of oaths of office, all of the violations under 18USC3571. These rights are based on Natural Law, hence invariant and not subject to human opinion or prosecution. The true and legal homeowner listed above has been denied the right to truth in evidence, violations of oaths of office, all of the violations under 18USC3571 and all of the violations under these federal crimes as listed: 18USC 4, 241, 872, 876, 1001, 1621, 1622, 1963, 1964. State laws violated include Resident Mortgage Fraud and violations of OCGA 44-11-30, 44-11-32, 44-2-43, 44-2-23, 44-7-50, 44-7-51 and 44-7-58. Civil right violations have also occurred as any claims of “immunity” is a fraud because, if valid, it would prevent removal from office for crimes against the people, which removal is authorized or even mandated under the U.S. Constitution Article 2, Section IV; as well as 18 USC 241, 42 USC 1983, 1985, 1986, and other state Constitutions.Precedents of Law established by COURT cases, which are in violation of law, render violations of law legally unassailable. Such a situation violates several specifically stated intents and purposes of the Constitution set forth in the Preamble; to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty. For JUDGES, or anyone in any branch of government.” “Fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents and even judgments.” [U.S. vs. Throckmorton, 98 US 61, at pg. 65]. “Any false representation of the material facts made with the knowledge of falsity and with intent that shall be acted on by another in entering into a contract, and which so acted upon, constitutes ‘fraud’, and entitles party deceived to void the fraudulent contract and recover damages.’ [Barnsdall Refining Corn vs. Birnam Wood Oil Co. 92 F 26 817]. Anyone having interest in this/these property/properties should notify the District Attorney of the County in which the property is located or the U.S. Attorney’s Office at 75 Ted Turner Dr. SW, Atlanta, Ga. 30303 at 404-581-6102, HUD, the FBI at http:// www/fbi/gov/(http://www.fbi.gov/) at (202) 324—3000 or the Mortgage Fraud Hotline at 1-800-437-2838

Thompson commended WLC for its work in the community, especially as it relates to adults struggling to enter an increasingly technological and skills-based job market.

“No matter what you want to be, reading unlocks the pathways. WLC is one of the few providers focused on pre-workforce development,” Thompson said. “We should support them with investments so that we have people who can do that work and meet residents’ needs. I’m thrilled that Jimmie lives in Ward 7 [because] we have diverse resources and people so we can serve ourselves.”

In the District, considered one of the nation’s most educated cities, nearly one-in-five people live in poverty.

Experts connect that phenomenon to the literacy gap among District residents. Data collected by the National Center for Education Statistics at the beginning of the pandemic showed that one-infour District adults struggle to read and one-in-three cannot do basic math.

Since 1963, WLC has helped an untold number of District adults increase their reading fluency and comprehension in a 20-month program that coordinators say has helped students acquire newfound skills and advance professionally.

Kelly Loving, a student at Community Preparatory Academy in Southeast who recently visited WLC, said she sought similar opportunities.

Loving, a Ward 5 resident who’s about to take her GED test, learned about the program when she reapplied for TANF benefits. She said previous assessments showed that she needed to improve her reading fluency.

While she has taken on many jobs since leaving school, Loving, now in her early 30s, said she could accomplish much more with a GED. Reflecting on her academic experience, Loving said she felt hindered by a speech impediment and IEP designation.

“I want to improve my literacy and correct the [way I use] language,” Loving said. “It’s important because I messed up around 11th grade and got kicked out of school. I’ve been working for half of my life. Had I finished school, I would’ve had trades under my belt and making good money.”

WI @SamPKCollins gested the antidote to the poison he embodies. In his 1905 Niagra Movement speech, W.E.B. DuBois said, "Either the United States will destroy ignorance, or ignorance will destroy the United States."

Looks like ignorance is winning. The conservative columnist Max Boot wrote that "the Buffalo shooter's views are mainstream on the right. These are the folks who not only have not been exposed to Ethnic Studies but who actively resist learning about the truth. The Tucker Carlsons of the world revel in their ability to incite ignorance,

of her community funded project and others like it: "Houston-area representatives took home money to address flood infrastructure and storm draining in their districts — a continual concern for the region in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey."

That devastating Category 4 hurricane in August 2017 killed 103 Texans and left a third of Houston underwater. Without these infrastructure upgrades, Houston, which suffered $1.5 billion in damages, could face even more devastation during the next hurricane. An investment in preventative measures seems a small price to pay given the future expenses they will help curb.

These community funded projects would not have received favorable consideration by the arbitrary standards established by Washington insiders. However, each one is a catalyst for changing the quality of life for the communities that received them. Without their elected member of Congress advocating for them, these communities would be facing far different futures.

The return of community funded projects is a welcome relief for those of us who see as part of our mission an obligation to address the needs of those citizens living in what the Census Bureau calls "persistent poverty communities." These appropriations make up just a fraction of overall federal spending and are within the total federal agencies' allocations. There is transparency in the process and protections that prevent members of Congress and their families from profiting from these community project funds.

Achieving the vision of "America the Beautiful" means ensuring that from "sea to shining sea," we do the things that are necessary to make America's greatness accessible and affordable to all our communities, from sea to shining sea. WI

an executive order requiring police to do so going forward.

More Americans died of gun injuries in 2020 than in any other year on record, according to a recent Johns Hopkins analysis of CDC data. Guns were the leading cause of death among children and teens in 2020, killing more young people than COVID-19, car crashes, or cancer.

The year 2020 also saw record gun sales. "Millions of people, including many first-time purchasers, bought guns. Tens of thousands of these new guns turned up at crime scenes across the country — almost twice as many as in 2019," the researchers wrote. "While it remains to be seen whether this surge in gun purchases contributed to the rise in gun violence over the long term, a strong body of research has identified drivers of gun violence — namely, easy access to guns and weaknesses in our country's laws that create a patchwork of gun regulations."

The report confirmed that common-sense policies like red-flag laws — and Gov. Hochul's order to strengthen New York's — are effective encourage domestic terrorists, and indulge in hateful views.

The FBI has always viewed Black activism as a threat to our national security, targeting Black activists from Marcus Garvey to Malcolm X to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr to the Black Panther Party with surveillance and COINTELPRO sabotage. In the wake of the 2020 protests that took it to the streets, the so-called intelligence agency coined the term "Black identity extremists" and monitored, among others, Black Lives Matter activists. Did they ever target, monitor or investigate white supremacist extremists? Payton Gendron might not have been allowed to purchase the guns that killed 10 Black people if they had.

While President Biden forcefully described white supremacy as poison and said that "hate will not prevail," he only talked in general terms about the antidote. This massacre provides President Biden with an opportunity to embrace Ethnic Studies and encourage it as an antidote to hate. Perhaps he might propose legislation similar to California's that would promote Ethnic Studies and require it in federally funded colleges and universities. It's time for our nation, drenched in racist poison, to consider the antidote

in reducing gun violence. "While the media often focuses on gun violence in cities in states like New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Illinois, all of these states had gun death rates lower than the national average," the researchers found. "New York, for example, had a rate 2.5 times lower than the national rate. Many of the states with the lowest gun death rates have strong gun violence prevention policies."

Specifically, the five states with the lowest gun death rates all had both a firearm purchaser licensing law or a waiting period, and a "red flag" law.

All five of the states with the highest gun death rates had "stand your ground" laws and three of the five had permitless carry laws. Alabama, one of the five passed permitless carry earlier this year.

The National Urban League is a longtime partner of Everytown for Gun Safety, largest gun violence prevention organization in America, and emphatically supports its evidence-based, common-sense solutions to make communities and save lives.

On Friday, I joined with other civil rights leaders in a meeting with U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to discuss the Department of Justice's role in addressing the spread of white supremacy across social media platforms and hate crimes tearing through Black communities across America.

Our hearts and deepest sympathies are with the families who have lost loved ones to another senseless act of racial violence. Our fury is with the white supremacists who are the perpetrators of this violence. And our anger is with the social media companies and gun merchants who have aided and abetted them and other extremists for profit and with the politicians who have recklessly encouraged them for votes.

Our commitment now is to do something about it, beginning with calling on President Biden to hold a national summit on hate crimes to elevate the national consciousness around the rising danger of white supremacy and online extremism.

We need a whole-of-nation approach to combat and eliminate this threat to our national security and the stability of our democracy. Until we do, innocent people will continue to pay the deadly price. WI

We saw this in the Republican/ Trump efforts to invalidate the "urban" votes in the metro Philadelphia area and Atlanta/Fulton County in order to "flip" the 2020 presidential election results.

We are subjected to being summarily purged from voter rolls. We find ourselves subjected to inordinate waiting times in voter lines with draconian restrictions against giving or receiving comfort or relief while we wait. New laws that expand partisan access to polling places foretell increased voter harassment and intimidation. The "Polling Place Police" created by Florida Gov. DeSantis, a Trump wannabe, suggest a goon squad created to reduce "voting irregularities" in Florida's communities of color. If not physical, these insidious attempts to negate our presence are "murderous" nonetheless.

It seems that the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, is acting more like the old Democratic Party did after the Civil War. It is becoming a party defined by its willingness to use the ideology of violent white supremacists to try to stir up voters and win elections.

This is playing with fire. And if it continues, we will all get burned, again and again.

of our nation's future must not win. And we must be insistent and unapologetic about teaching this message to all of our children. Throughout American history there have always been parents and community members who explicitly taught our own children that white supremacy is a lie. But even children who know the truth can sometimes internalize a lie from the culture around them. It also should not be a Black or Native American or Asian American or Latino or Jewish parent's burden to be the only one teaching her children the truth about our nation's history of white supremacy. And it should not be a white child's burden to be ignorant of this truth because no one taught it to him at all.

Right now there are entire segments of our nation still embracing a violent lie with violent consequences. Many of the killers in these white supremacist mass shootings were young men who internalized these lies at very young ages. Unchallenged white supremacy and hate will leave all of our children at risk, and when it is fueled by our national love affair with guns, no one is safe — including a wife getting a few groceries after her daily visit to her husband's nursing home, a community activist who wrote letters to Buffalo newspapers speaking out against gun violence, or a father picking up a birthday cake for his three-year-old son.

In his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… racist ideas. They should reflect on the legacy of Frederick Douglass. And they should consider the life of a more recent Republican, the late Jack Kemp.

Kemp had been a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. Then he became a Republican congressman representing western New York. And he ran for president as both a Republican and a card-carrying member of the NAACP. "I can't help but care about the rights of the people I used to shower with," Kemp said.

We urgently need more of our national leaders to embrace Douglass's broad vision of a strong and diverse America, and Jack Kemp's recognition of our shared humanity. And we need more people, both politicians and regular folks, to have the courage to consistently call out bigotry when we hear it and to hold accountable those who spread it.
