Born and Raised in The Bronx! Counterparts Show


 Yo!!!  You from Da Bronx!!??  Nice!  Welcome!  Our first episode on The Bronx from our show Counterparts was a ton of fun but we felt we barely scratched the surface.  What did you expect, we had a lifetime of memories and experiences to cover.  We will be doing a part 2 for sure.  

In the episode, we covered the building I grew up in called Chester Hall.  The address was 1058 Southern Blvd.  A beautiful pre-war building that was considered luxury living back in the 30s.  During my time living there, it was a well-kept and clean build.  Unfortunately, the years and the landlords were not kind to it and it fell under deep dispare. I am happy to report, that Chester Hall is getting a facelift and hopefully full renovation.  One of my bucket list items is to visit the building and enter the apartments I lived in.  410, 304, and 503.  
Maybe take some pictures and pay honor to the space where my creative energy was developed.  In part 2 of our Bronx series, we will cover more of the history of the boro and talk about how my grandparents kept me out of trouble.  Maybe I'll tell the story a few breakdancing stories.  Stay tuned!  

The company that built 1058 Southern Blvd or Chester Hall as I remember calling it, was called A-Re-Co (American Real Estate Company) and the neighborhood had quite a few of these buildings that were all built between 1908 - 1912. Apparently, A-Re-Co bought the last farmland. The neighborhood was known as Areco for decades. These were all built about the exact time the subway lines reached Hunts Point.

I like sharing this picture cause it was taken during the time when I was living in that building behind the train. 1058 Southern Blvd in The South Bronx!! If you lived around here during the 80s let me know! (right)

They are Starving for your Potential


 Remember you become a serious threat to those who can't bring you down to their level. They secretly hate you for it but they might hang around you in the hopes that they can slow you down from winning. Some don't even know they're doing it. They just can't imagine winning at the levels you're striving for. It's not real to them so it shouldn't be real to you. They will try to make you think it's not real. It's a sad fact that negative people don't know their negative. They blame others for everything bad in their lives and take no responsibility for any of it. Do NOT allow one ounce of your potential and drive to be stolen by someone with very low or no potential or drive. JHS

Hang Tight Earthlings! It will be Glorious!

 When you're afraid that someone will ruin your plans of deceiving a civilization, you must shut them down at all costs. And if they don't go away, then you must scream, threaten, cheat, and lie to make sure they can never again participate in preventing their destructive plans and their criminal activities. Especially their money flows.

But these poor souls don't realize that the criminal wants to get caught and will continue to make mistakes and say stupid things in that direction. They can't help to get tongue-tied or let a little truth slip out when they're speaking. We laugh at it but it's really a sad thing to witness. Someone who can't confront those they are lying to will stumble as so much video footage has proven. Of course, these criminals control how this info gets distributed to millions, so it gets manipulated. Many are still under a veil of lies, but many more, and I mean MANY MORE, have removed this veil to take a closer look and now know that something is wrong. It doesn't take long to see something isn't right. For me, the viewpoint shift happened in 2018 and it took about 2 days of reading and listening to someone and then seeing things for myself. Seeing it was huge and in just 2 days, I realized I had been duped for most of my life. I can only pray and hope that more people will take the time to lift that veil slightly and see what's there. Just give it chance to see the information.

The next 18 months will be glorious but very scary to many who haven't lifted the veil and those that don't even believe there is a veil will become very dangerous and destructive people. Stay away from them and protect your family and friends. God bless you all. JHS

They didn't want Tim Allen because he's a conservative, so they just tank the franchise. lol Good job!

Here is my latest blog and my 2 cents on the issue. My words here should not influence anyone. You should make a judgment based on your researched data. Here we go....

Wokeness has proven to fail time and time again but they keep pushing it. Makes me think they have other motives. ;) Too bad because Lightyear is such a great character that Tim Allen created. Lightyear is now lightyears away from being seen again. Chris Evans is Captain America too and I thought he was great as that character. Unfortunately for Mickey and the crew, people are canceling Disney+ and most likely will not return until they just get the entertainment they paid for and are not taught lessons no one asked for. See below the latest stock number for the past year taken today. Netflix and Disney stocks are falling steadily over the last year so they are not concerned with stockholders but what exactly is the goal here. It's clear the money is available to make films. $200 million for Lightyear and $100 million for promotion. It's a strange direction to go considering recent history has shown woke content does not make a profit. Maybe Pixar and Disney have finally decided it's not about the money. They just want to create projects that "enlighten" everyone so if it loses millions, who cares. If you believe that, there's a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell to you.

If Top Gun taught us anything is that Hollywood can make good films with no agenda but entertainment, heroes, and values and it seems audiences want the same thing. Again, the numbers are clear.

Stories come from life so I understand the need to include life events into the fabric of films but it's the obvious forcing of it that pops off the screen and makes the overall story lose validity. Not because the issue isn't valid but because the method of how it's being introduced does not fit into the scope of the project.

My advice is to just write better stories around your agenda and stay away from established characters because it doesn't work as recent history has shown us. The Adventures of Superperson will not fly. The Amazing SpriderIndividual will not stick. And finally, Bat-human will just cave. JHS

 April 29th 2020 and December 8th 2021. What a difference studying and spending all those hours on webinars and workshops trying to figure this out. Sometimes having to clear almost every word in an article just to know what the hell they're talking about. Trying to explain to friends and family why I was doing this and sometimes I was trying to explain it to myself. But here we are and I'm truly grateful.

Thank you to anyone that watched the early shows where I had a weak signal, choppy audio and all you saw was a blurry Puerto Rican with a goatee that changed colors!
The guests were always great and I know the value was there and it's the main reason I kept going. Now I've done hundreds of hours on interviews, Live streams, plus being a guest other hosts podcasts, and more. The future looks great and I thank you all for the support on this journey. we're just getting started. Love, JHS

Twitter CEO canceled.... here's why it happened..

 

Twitter failed as a viable platform because in its inception it was intended to allow everyone to express themselves freely. When it was realized that the majority of the people on there were becoming even more suspect to the intention of some political parties, it had to be stopped and redirected back to the original agenda. If you look at those numbers, the majority were interested in stories about corruption and demanded honesty from political figures. Many political leaders couldn't deliver and those that did speak their truth, whether you agreed or not, received the most attention, shares and exposed accountability that was covered up by mainstream media.  This was a no no and needed to be stopped and they did stop it by pushing buzz words such as misinformation, fact checker, social justice, white privilege and distribution of wealth. Well, it seems some are starting to pay closer attention and asking questions.  The majority is actually much bigger because of the condemnation of free speech.  As usually, the ones who do not want anyone to hear any other opinions but the ones that move their criminally charged agenda forward, have failed again. 

Twitter was a beautiful platform that allowed and even forced a person to be creative with their views and freely express it. It will be missed. I know it's still here but in the eyes and hearts of freedom lovers, it's dead and has been for a while.

The End of the Political "War"'.

You can't make a difference by sitting in front t of the TV and posting on Facebook your upsets. You have to go after the politicians creating bad policy that will hurt people in the long run and show them why. Give them governmental statistics that are available to anyone. Don't just show them a YouTube video that's been edited by bias entity. 2020 for me is a year of research and communicating. Two local politicians have shown they are only interested in getting their next promotion or sharing about a lightweight and safe success story. That's how you do. You create easy to confront issues, then you solve them and post it everywhere. It gives the impression that real change is happening. In the meantime, they are voting in dangerous policies that destroy our values and rips our constitution to shreds. Just pay attention to what they are doing and voting for and you'll see the pattern. The political pattern.

In this post, I'm not referring to our mayor. I like our mayor and he has brought real help to our city. I'm also not referring to our 3 ward councilmen who I've spoken with many times and have always felt their sincerity. I even worked for one councilman and gave 100% into helping him win a landslide victory.

I'm referring to those that claim to help Bayonne but they're living in Trenton and rubbing elbows with those slowly killing the small businessman and trying to pass laws that will rip control of our children under the guise of "help". I have not mentioned names yet because I'm hoping they will do the right thing and have an open discussion regarding these issues.

I will tell you all that at this point in my life, I've lost interest in the LEFT Verses RIGHT TV ShitShow. I'm only concerned with our Human Rights. What is our Human Right? Well, one of the most powerful documents that no one talks about is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of February 16, 1948. Written by Elenor Roosevelt and signed by 48 countries. If you're not familiar with it, please message m and I'll send you a copy.

In Conclusion, I would like to thank you all for your love and support. Today begins a new day of hope and freedom.

God bless you.
