Truth 72: God don’t like ugly and poli-tricking again!
Happy Thanksgiving even though there’s nothing to be thankful for from our governor, as the truth of the matter is we are still experiencing the same-o ugly poli-tricking by Ralph again under Arnold’s administration, as it has really changed and even worse. First and foremost, respect is a reciprocal phenomenon and Ralph nor Arnold deserve my respect given the ugly subterfuge (schemes) they deployed against me—some trust! But they don’t know or forgot, God don’t like ugly, and sooner or later I will be vindicated for all the things I tried to do for the people, as my faith is much bigger than a mustard seed. But what’s getting me now is Arnold’s ugly poli-trick to imply that CEDA is now our economic experts, which most of us with common sense know is a bunch of malarkey and poli-tricking. CEDA hasn’t done anything to reform or improve our economy other than normal business loans and taking people’s property. It is no secret that I have been placing accountability on the governor to tell us who is our economist and now out of the blue, CEDA with no economist, is to decide on an economic decision to cover for the governor—LOL. I say it’s ugly poli-tricking and cover for the governor because it is already known CEDA hasn’t done anything in the past and now out of the blue sky is going to arbitrarily decide for the people if MACS is going to get a 25-year tax break without a public hearing—ugly poli-tricking at the highest level of our government by the governor himself! We the people deserve better and should be sick and tired of things being shoved down our throats after the unwanted casino dinner we were served that we didn’t like which now seems like food poisoning figuratively and literally. When are the people going to start standing up and speaking out, as Fabian should not be a lone wolf but a member of an entire pack of locals for real progress, as one definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result”—Albert Einstein!
Being an outsider, black and the only real activist for the People, it is a daunting task to rally citizens, especially when it’s culturally inappropriate to do what I do, which is calling-out our leaders and holding them accountable in a public forum. But that’s the American way of making things happen for the people by holding leaders accountable, which is what locals need to do, as if you want the CNMI to be more like America, then act more like a Chamorro/Carolinian American when it comes to our government by protesting. I have said it before, the CNMI will never change for the better to find some semblance of prosperity until the people get sick and tired and truly want real change! There is a reason why locals leave for the mainland, especially when they see the ugliness in our leader’s refusal to even consider new ideas and change, as they don’t like Ambrose the messenger yet the Bible and even our youth are taught “it’s about the message, not Ambrose”—grow up CNMI leaders, stop the bigotry, your people are suffering!
These Republicans seem to have even brainwashed some Democrats against me and continue to get away with poli-tricks right in front of us like the Cannabis Commission we don’t need. But they know the people are not going to complain nor protest, only Ambrose—so sad when it’s the people’s government, not Ambrose’s! Heck, the governor just betrayed all the people for his relative so Joe Palacios can keep his job and no protest—LOL to keep from crying for the people! Republicans have even changed their name just to win from independent-Republicans, to Covenant, back to Republican and now Arnold is supposed to be an independent, which we can all see is a lie. But think voters, only eight years for Democrats while you have elected GOP governors for 38 years of the CNMI’s 46 years in existence and we wonder why our government is so corrupt with the last 30 straight years of complete GOP rule! Absolute power, absolutely corrupts, so when is basta enough going to happen! If it looks, talks and acts like a Republican, it’s a Republican. The Republican EVS-TAP is starting but I warned no one knows what the Chinese government will do—prayers.
I do want to exclude our new GOP delegate from this, as she deserves respect and a real chance. But this ugly conservative Republican thinking and changing names to win has killed the CNMI just like it’s about to do on the mainland with Trumpism. If Democrats here and on the mainland don’t get their acts together for real change, the U.S. and CNMI will face the same-o you-know-what and it ain’t pretty! I’m sure that many if not the overwhelming majority of locals really want the CNMI to be more like the mainland, not more like some of the tiny islands in the FSM that’s it’s become chasing gambling—pathetic and the people deserve better! If we don’t change to the liberal and progressive leadership of Democrats and learn to grow big, like my MaDear told me, then the big fish Guam is literally going to continue to eat all or most of the fish (tourists) for our region—it’s really that simple. Hold on to these facts if you care about the future of the CNMI the next time you vote in 2026!

A special shoutout and kudos to our Mayor RB who is doing an awsome job even working to curb crime in his city (island), keep-it-up!
