Killer Mike Tells Bill Maher He's Choosing Policies Over People.

Its a nice slogan, I love that he said what's good for Black people. We are the only people in America who get shamed for wanting our own community to do well. White folks intrinsically see what's good for Black folks is anti White. or they want to be higher than White. It's their immediate reaction.

I think Killer Mike should have been a wee bit more specific (anti black crime bill, reparations for FBA, etc) but overall, he said some good things. Didn't like the n word being dropped but that's just me. Unless you are a comedian or rapper.

The Gay Agenda Is Real

Normally I don't have a problem with any group trying to get more of its own into Congress and any office as long as they aren't anti Black.

This group though have already demonstrated a clear agenda to target straight Black men specifically and also our boys in school.

I guarantee you the Congressional Black Caucus are on board.

D.C. Teacher Partners With Legendary Backyard Band For A New Go-Go Rendition Of The ABCs

Kendall Maloney, a teacher at Bunker Hill Elementary School in Northeast Washington, D.C., is known for her innovative teaching methods. She consistently finds ways to engage her students in Black history and their academic curriculum, rallying the community to bolster her efforts


Now Ms. Maloney is back, this time with a new song featuring the District’s legendary go-go band, Backyard. Inspired by a previous deck of cards she made highlighting historical Black history facts in D.C., Maloney enrolled her students and the Backyard Band in the creation of a go-go rendition of the ABCs.

“It all started from last year when I did my 72 deck of cards on everything Black facts in D.C. I decided that I wanted to create an extension from this project, and I wanted to go on and make a song with Backyard Band,” Maloney told Fox 5 DC.

The esteemed educator revealed that 26 of her students played a pivotal role, contributing to the creation of the card deck that featured information about significant people, places, and facts in D.C. These students then selected 26 of those cards, which formed the foundation of the new ABC song. They lent their voices to the catchy hook crafted by band member Weensy, with Anwan Glover (The Wire), also known as Big G, leading the rap verse.

What Will Trump's Sentence Be?

Him being convicted was a given. It was open and shut. There has a fair amount of Mayors, several Congressmen and every blue moon or so, maybe once a generation a Senator go to jail.

When you get to Senator, senior administration level (Secretary of Treasury, etc) its rare. It has to be so bad and egregious there is no choice.

An ex President and possibly soon to be President? Uncharted territory.

The question is what will be the sentence? We've seen actual rapists be convicted and no time served.

I am guessing he won't do any actual time. It's state court so its a bit murky. My guess, the NY governor will either pardon or work some backroom deal.

House arrest maybe. As far as I know there aren't any low security prisons for NY state as there is in the federal prison system. Also, the blowback. Republicans will openly skirt the constitution for payback.

I obviously hope he goes to jail but don't think he actually will do any jail time. The sentence may be financial and no hard time. That's my guess. They'll try to bankrupt him instead.

Dr. Dorothy Jean Tillman speaks at the Arizona State University College of Health Solutions convocation on May 8, 2024.

By age 14, Dorothy Jean Tillman had obtained an associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degree. Despite the impressive achievements, Tillman remembers turning to her mother and saying, “I think I want to pursue a doctorate degree.”

Her mother, Jimalita Tillman, was surprised. They were in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. And Dorothy was a year into launching a science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) camp startup, and she was looking for funding for the organization. She was busy.

“I was just like, ‘why?’ I thought you were done,” Jimalita told CNN.

But after Dorothy explained that her mission was to positively impact young people when it came to their mental health, Jimalita understood and lent her support.

Fast-forward two years, when 17-year-old Dorothy successfully delivered her dissertation. Now, at 18, she is officially Dr. Dorothy Jean Tillman after walking at Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions convocation on May 8.
