This year at the BET Awards, the network honored six people whom they call “humanitarian heroes.” Among the winners is North Carolina 16-year-old Justin Blackman, the only student to walk out of Wilson Preparatory Academy on March 14. Students across the country walked out of classes that day, one month after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas […]
After initially declaring rather clearly that the death of Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam, whose body was found floating in the Hudson River last week, was likely a suicide, the NYPD made a public pivot this week – announcing that Abdus-Salaam’s death was “suspicious.” While this may have been a shift for the NYPD, millions of curious […]

Have you ever heard of Relisha Rudd? Yesterday, through all of the noise about Donald Trump and his lies, I heard her name for the very first time. The sweet little eight year old girl, which is the same age of my precious daughter, Savannah, has been missing for three long years. She lived in […]

From 1914 – 1918, Adolph Hitler was an amazing award-winning soldier in the German military. Later as President, he developed one of the most effective anti-smoking campaigns in the world. Under his rule, Germany revolutionized the jet engine. But, you know, and I know, that those facts don’t mean a damn thing. He was a […]
