Grammy Family



In arts this President's Day: fully-electric "To Pimp a Butterfly" from Chicago GD-degree removed, Kendrick Lamar, stands tonight with 11 Grammy nominations. Kanye West claimed he will win 100 in his lifetime (Complex). Emanuel Administration-degree removed Chancelor Bennet (ChanceRaps.com) from 79th speculated about Grammy's commercial prerequisites... 

You said let’s do a good ass job with Chance 3
I heard you gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy
Let’s make it so free and the bars so hard
that there ain't one gosh darn part you can’t tweet

No More Parties in LA

...before naming Jason Van Dyke during a singular delivery of Ultralight Beam on NBC. West subsequently indicted, broadly and by name (Zuckerberg, Page), San Francisco / Silicon Valley arts and media financing: 
All you dudes in San Fran play rap music in your homes but never help the real artists…source
20 Committee observed if he didn't exist, West would have to be invented (Twitter). Quite right. From my perspective the comment on SF art financing is "deeper than rap". It's a comment about American geo-political power. West locates precisely names Super Bowl City and Baghdad By the Bay: San Francisco.

Operation Anvil

Latest homicide map is linked here . Overall goal: explain why the Americas have such low rates of successfully prosecuted murder compared to EU and APAC . And why - as murder rates declining - are solved murder rates declining in the United States? For a quick summary of the state of homicide within the United States: http://gritsforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2010/06/homicide-clearance-rates-on-decline.html http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2013/01/rates-of-unsolved-murder-by-state.html To start: where are the murders?

Lake Water

This story is about American Great Lakes geopolitics. Last few years. The geopolitical priorities between Detroit, Michigan and Chicago on the shore of Lake Michigan. The Chicago White House that bought and sold Detroit GM, securing Great Lakes capital markets. Tamir Rice in Cleveland. The Flint water that corroded car parts and lead poisoned folks. The 2015 and  2016 Chicago shooting spree . Markers signify cities with high density of homicide. Details . The political economies of Great Lakes cities are historically linked.

Many people might assume differences between the state governments and cultural histories of California and Texas, together 20% of the US population ( Census ), explain their wildly different perceptions of national issues related to Mexico and drugs. But you have to understand the difference in Mexico between those two border areas - California and Texas - and how that might influence different Americans perceptions of "the problem" of Mexico and or drugs. Breitbart Media brands Breitbart Texas and Cartel Chronicles did not emerge from a political vacuum.
