  1. I am
    flad
    for whatever is being done to pay tribute to the great
    Rev Jesse Jackson.
    And
    it is a
    disgrace that he is not being duly
    honored to lie in State
    in Washington DC.
    But Jesse. wasn’t part of their
    whole game anyway. And I
    guess that’ s the whole point, isn’t it?
    AMEN BROTHER JESSE.
    We GOTCHOO!! 💟💟💟🌅🌈🙏🙏🏾
    ❤️💛🤎🖤🤍
    We’re ALL precious in God’s sight!

  5. Lost $4.7M to a malware hack. Tried two recovery companies—both scammed me. Decentralized Codex Security actually delivered. They traced the hacker and recovered my funds, then taught me how to secure everything properly. If you’re dealing with a loss, don’t waste time with fakes. These are the real professionals: They saved my business. Highly recommend.
