(Sheriff Lamb) FLORIDA, the nation's main vein draining into Trump's Gulf of America - Bubbly (possibly intoxicated) boob-exposing Bikini Princess loses it and commits felonies when police tell her Daddy's Mustang GTO is about to get towed and impounded for racing over 100 MPH ("criminal speeding") while the driver was determined to be operating the vehicle under the influence (DUI) of alcohol.
Why is Latin-flavored Florida this way? Why are Floridians (living somewhere in a limbo between the East Coast and the Deep South) so out of control, sexy, drunk, "rapey"?
Is it because Trump's Mar-a-Lago recruiting ground and Epstein's Island are close by?
They say the people of Florida are extravagant, impoverished, disastrous, prone to alcohol abuse and consuming excitotoxins, fighting alligators, relieving themselves in public, running from police, sleeping around, hosting a giant metal scene (Tampa), partying on the sand, dancing to Cuban rhythms, engaging in Spring Break madness, and being oh so very entitled...
It can't just be the weather, the tourists, or its proximity of the Bermuda Triangle, can it? There must be something in the air, all those enormous mosquitoes (skeeters), government experiments in progress, or something. Who can explain?

Pres. Don John Trump no longer snorts cocaine like he used to in his Epstein party days, now addicted to crushed Adderall (stimulant used for ADHD) that keeps him wired, wigged out, and as crazed as Pervitin-addicted Adolf Hitler, whose Nazi scientists invented pharmaceutical methamphetamine, and der furor's doctor got him addicted to it without the Fuhrer knowing what was happening to him until it was too late and he had the palsy shake and was paranoid and bombing every country he could. But rather than cleaning up, the Nazis gave it to German soldiers to keep them fighting in the fields until death:

BRISTOL (CNA): [There are] killer robots, slaughterbots, or Terminators -- official name LAWs or "lethal autonomous weapons" -- from films and books. And the idea of super-intelligent weapons running rampant is still [considered] science fiction. But as artificial intelligence (AI) weapons become increasingly sophisticated, public concern is growing over fears about lack of accountability and the risk of technical failure. [They have already been tested in Venezuela, according to a release by Press Sec'y Karoline Leavitt.] Already we have seen how so-called "neutral" AI have made sexist algorithms and inept content moderation systems, largely because their creators did not understand the technology. But in war, these kinds of misunderstandings could kill civilians or wreck negotiations. For example, a target recognition algorithm could be trained to identify tanks from satellite imagery, but what if all of the images used to train the system featured soldiers in formation around the tank? It might mistake a civilian vehicle passing through a military blockade for a target. More: channelnewsasia.com
"Explores how industry has manipulated our most deep-seated survival instincts."
—David Perlmutter, MD, author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain and Brain Maker
The New York Times–bestselling author of Fat Chance reveals the corporate scheme to sell pleasure, driving the international epidemic of addiction, depression, and chronic disease.
While researching the toxic and addictive properties of sugar for his New York Times bestseller Fat Chance, Dr. Robert Lustig made an alarming discovery—our pursuit of happiness is being subverted by a culture of addiction and depression from which we may never recover.
Dopamine is the “reward” neurotransmitter that tells our brains we want more; yet every substance or behavior that releases dopamine in the extreme leads to addiction.
Serotonin is the “contentment” neurotransmitter that tells our brains we don’t need any more; yet its deficiency leads to depression.
Ideally, both are in optimal supply. But dopamine evolved to overwhelm serotonin—because our ancestors were more likely to survive if they were constantly motivated—with the result that constant desire can chemically destroy our ability to feel happiness, while sending us down the slippery slope to addiction.
Extraterrestrial mystery above Cusco found? - What are these ancient handbags?
In the last 40 years, government legislation and subsidies have promoted ever-available temptation (sugar, drugs, social media, porn) combined with constant stress (work, home, money, Internet), with the end result of an unprecedented epidemic of addiction, anxiety, depression, and chronic disease.
And with the advent of neuromarketing, corporate America has successfully imprisoned us in an endless loop of desire and consumption from which there is no obvious escape. More
South Afrikaner Elon Musk, reputedly the richest man in the world (founder of PayPal, head of Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, Boring, Neuralink Corporation, and DOGE, future king of Mars), has fired himself to save the government money -- and Tesla share's plummeting value. He is getting back to work, except he's always working. How? Drugs -- Adderall (speed), acid (LSD), Special K (ketamine), Molly (MDMA, Ecstasy), magic mushrooms (psilocybin), weed (THC), and whatever else he carries around in a special box for emergency use. Every day is an emergency when one is jumping around, kissing up to Trump, slashing jobs, and trying to salvage his reputation on the world stage to keep working for the government.
(Jimmy Kimmel Live) May 29, 2025: Elon Musk’s time as a Special Government Employee for DOGE (Dept. of Gov't Efficiency) has come to end, the court of Int'l Trade ruled unanimously that Trump did not have the authority to implement the "big, beautiful tariffs" he slapped on everyone, Trump blew up at a reporter for asking about his new nickname “TACO” that’s been making the rounds on Wall Street, which stands for “Trump Always Chickening Out.”
He is now reportedly one step closer to settling the ridiculous lawsuit he filed against 60 minutes, he now says he plans to give Russia's Vlad Putin “two weeks” to prove they are serious about a peace deal with Ukraine [otherwise he's going to let them go Israel on Zelensky's butt], America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani wore a crazy outfit, FBI Director Kash "Cross Eyed" Patel sat for an interview with Fox News (swearing pedophile Jeff Epstein was not murdered), RFK Jr. made an announcement about COVID vaccines, and Cousin Micki teaches us where babies come from.

So much of rap is stupid, unbearably so. Rock 'n roll was better, not by much but it was making something new of older Black music (blues, guitar driven gospel, jazz). But we're coming around to this rap thingy after a half century. For all the boisterous bluster, some really has kick (umph), the right beat. We're finally seeing it.
What four young Black men formed and called themselves "Gho$tmane," incorporating death and Black metal into their sound? Here they are:
(Yeah, that guy, Sunny McCalifornia. How could a boy with buckteeth get so groovy he not only develops a distinctive sound but a unique aesthetic from the 1920s?) We have to guess that it's because we mainly hear pop-rap (the cr-p rap the radio plays to death) that rap seems boring and anything but phresh.
But with radio removed, one is now exposed to all the other ways of listening (peer-to-peer sharing, TikTok, underground shows, networks, influencers, curation, recommendations, luck, and social media.
With the censors out and the "filters" on, there's some really good stuff out there. Some recent Buddhist articles we produced got a tremendous response with what looks like hundreds of thousands of views. It's just rap. Rap is old. Hasn't all the hoopla about rap died down already. It might have about the old stuff, but there is much more vital NEW stuff. Who even knew this was rap.
We thought it would be good to hear rap songs done in another genre thanks to the GREAT Richard Cheese (longtime fans since he appearances on the Kevin & Bean Show decades ago). So just tapping in something like death metal rap got an unexpectedly good response on YouTube. What, it's a thing? We thought, what are these suggestions? So clicking on a few of them, not bad. It was just Slipknot when Corey spits bars. We knew about that. We didn't know some of these songs got videos made for them.
Then, skipping down, we tapped the White Album looking suggestion, just to see, and the song that came up was really good or not what we expected. It was rap, not death metal. We were looking for death metal. But then it was metal as rap. Who were these guys? Are there bands of Black youths who listen to black metal (which is called "black" not because of the race of the artists or fans but due to the dark arts discussed by the music, such as Venom, Mercyful Fate, Deicide) and rap about it? No. Who knows? (There's that horrorcore freakshow stuff, but that seems very niche). Everyone listens to everything nowadays. There's no reason to stay in a compartment and limit yourself.
Rock rap with Wes and Limp Bizkit
This was someone smart enough to rap but very dark, but still actual rap, not a parody or imitation. Hey, there's something here. You see, a few months ago, we surfed through a video of Limp Bizkit live in the Netherlands, and before the show, they are getting the crowd amped up and start playing a rap song.
All of the 100% Caucasian audience loves it, starts moving, singing along. "They do know this is not a Limp Bizkit song, right?" was the question that crossed our minds. But it was a rap song, and that was the amazing thing--one that Limp Bizkit knew it, and two that the audience loved it so much. Oh yeah, duh, they are there to see rap-rock. It turns out it wasn't Limp Bizkit but Limp's DJ spinning Ludacris as Wes is standing, holding his guitar, in his briefs, about to noodle.
That's how The Heart Sutra (RAP version) article got written. Real rap is what Ludacris was doing, that old skool yellin and cars and women and other featured rappers on a track.
Who's ever heard of Gho$temane? Apparently, everybody but us because he's already played Coachella, though not with the reception he might have been expecting (during the day, under the desert sun, on the lawn, in the heat, to a smaller audience.
How is this guy not in all our faces or in the manifesto of the teen who takes a shot at Eminem in the future? Didn't Megan Fox's boytoy diss Marshal Mathers in a rap only to have it blow up in his face? Who ever heard about MGK? Or Riff Raff featured on Far East Movement's "Illest," Vanilla Ice (aka Rob Van Winkle) or the way mad white rappers The Bloodhound Gang feature him as Robby Winkle, that Australian one-hit-wonder Masked Wolf, where drill (gangsta rap is breaking out) as well as biker gangs.
Eminem said the N word with style in rap battle. - And he managed to finally rhyme with "orange"
The rap trap is some fake cr-p
