I have to fact check with my brother at what age he started shooting pool in the back of our cousin’s bar room. At the corner of St. Anthony St. and Claiborne Ave. in New Orleans was a bar room (Fat’s Bar) owned by a cousin of my Grandfather Sidney Cates. I, unlike my brother, was spending my time at other parts unknown. To this day, Carl can run circles around me on a pool table even though I had a pool tournament trophy on my living room shelf until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
That is Louis Armstrong playing his horn if you click the arrow in the video⬇️ below. That is just a picture of my horn. I play songs of thanksgiving on my horn often about things.
Gazette (Dec. 13, 2025) — Happy Birthday to my four December siblings. I found an oldie but goodie picture of the four of us, but I am looking for a recent Now picture of us that I wanted to post. Meanwhile, I found this picture⬇️ taken recently of two of us. So, I have to find a picture with the other two (my sisters).
I found here a more recent shot for the "Now" picture w/more of my mama's Dec. babies besides just me. Two sisters (shown in Post № 2) were also born in Dec. pic.twitter.com/h7gmWNkTpj
Gazette (Oct. 20 2025) — I was happy with today’s announcement of who won the 2025 Nobel Peace Price. In fact, I do not think that a better choice could have been made at this point in time.
BREAKING NEWS The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to… pic.twitter.com/Zgth8KNJk9
Meanwhile, I still list the video ⬇️ as in/work which I reference in the link below. It is fine. However, I want to clean it up a tad bit more before I call it finished. I will notify you here once I get it totally corrected and finito.
Progress So Far
I am still working on clearing up and cleaning up the video. I put the link here⬇️ of what I have so far until I can post the completed video to explain more perfectly what I am trying to say. P.S. I think that it is okay for now:
I wanted to say good morning with a brief video. I am stuck in a rabbit hole. If I led you down this rabbit hole with me, I hope that you find something awakening. I put a link where I hope that you will find an answer. https://t.co/YTxyHfAOUMpic.twitter.com/gxrDtgOPYT
On the left ⬇️ we see Bunny Wunnie №2 who seems invincible, and who can do whatever crazy/illegal stuff he wants. This Bunny Wunnie can spend billions of taxpayer dollars willy nilly for his own desires (the WH ballrom, for example) while taking away health care from millions of citizens. Woe to justice in America.
Here is a thought to think about⬇️. I just now saw this on the Internet. What a heavy-weight bout that would be? Stupid (L) vs. gravitas (R)! What do you think about them apples? pic.twitter.com/rfseWwe6ZS
In the article that I wrote below at Boscoville, I am referring to the Mardi Gras poster at the link⬇️. Like I said, the Mardi Gras poster at the link is one of my favorites.
I will write (in the next day or so) what I think history will say of our current times. Who knows whom history will be kinder to.
We can see the kind of man Donald Trump is by how he treats the children caught up in his deportation raids. People in California started protesting Trump’s immoral and illegal raids. So, Trump’s answer is to send in thousands of National Guard troops and Marines. Oh, my God! This is an invasion of California by insurrectionist Trump. He is a Nazi criminal.
Children of undocumented migrants are reportedly being placed in custody, separated from their parents who are en route to deportation in the current crackdown. How did ICE expect the majority minority city of LA to react?
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — The New Orleans Saints do not want to make the Super Bowl any time soon, especially after trading Jimmy Graham #TheBeast to Seattle with Marshawn Lynch #TheBeast already terrorizing defenses in the NFL. Two BEASTS at the same time? HISTORICAL! I am down with that. Until further notice and unless something changes, my money is on the Seattle SuperHawks in 2015.
Now, I want Seattle to stomp on the head of the cheating New England Patriots. Seattle, you had the snake crushed in this year’s Super Bowl. You let them get away. You begin that journey this year with another beast added to your inventory. I want it. I want it!! I hope that all PATS haters around the country are salivating from their teeth itching to see the next Seattle vs. New England game.
Jimmy Graham, the new #BEAST in town.
Plus, I must say that I am amazed how popular Bettie Page still is today. I am sure that her people are making much more money than Bettie did in her day. I bought a beautiful red t-shirt which commemorated Bettie’s birthday last year. It is one of my favorite shirts. Geaux, Bettie!!
In other Saints news, I was asked my opinion of the owner’s battles with his heirs in which he is, upon his passing, leaving the running of the Saints and Pelicans exclusively to his wife. My opinion is that the teams and his fortune are his to do with as he likes. His heirs are already taken care of well enough by Mr. Benson. His wife, Gayle, will be the best person to take care of the Saints and the Pelicans once Mr. Benson is gone.
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Dang!! Looks like they shut down the Jackson Square Live Cam for this Super Bowl. So sorry!! Maybe, someone sued for privacy rights violations for being filmed on the Live Cam. Possibly, also, crimes were being caught on the Live Cam which the city did not want to be shown world wide.
Anyway, here is another story that caught my attention. Before the Super Bopwl there were reports that Floyd Mayweather had wagered $10.4 Million on the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl. Well, post Super Bowl, Mayweather has subsequently posted on Instagram that he did not wager $10.4 M on the Broncos. He said that those were just false rumors.
Here is a view of the action on Super Bowl weekend from the Jackson Square Live Cam. Wow! The cam is still up there and active. How long? Forever? UPDATE: No!!! The Jackson Square Live Cam was not active forever. LOL! In fact, the Live Cam is presently inactvie. HaHaHa!
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — I am too happy going into Monday morning. Yes, I am in ecstasy. The New Orleans Saints are 3-0, baby. Next Monday on Monday Night Football, the Saints meet the Miami Dolphins who are also undefeated at 3-0. I cannot wait for the game. FIREWORKS, baby!!
Yes, this should be a nice long week of WHO DAT happiness. Next week, either the Saints or the Dolphins will be closing out Monday Night Football at 4-0. Hold onto your hats, Who Dat fans. Geaux Saints!
