There is some good news for families with children in high school. Particularly sophomores and Juniors. Robin Kelly is currently accepting applications for her nonpartisan creation of a Congressional Youth Cabinet. Kelly wants to invest in the young people represented in her district and encourage them to be civically part of our political system. I think this is a wonderful opportunity. Kelly wants to keep abreast with concerns and issues going on with our youth giving her the 411. This was a very smart move. If you are interested in an application please contact April Williams. Her email is Luster@mail.gov.house and you can also call Congresswoman Robin Kelly's office at 708-679-0078. Please submit your applications before the deadline of April 16, by Friday at 4pm.
Murder! it was murder. The cause of death had nothing to do with George Floyd being on any drugs, but nice try to Chauvin's defense team. He died because he did not have oxygen to breathe, according to experts. The nine year old that was brave enough to testify during this trial could tell you that! I can't believe that the defense attorney for Derek Chauvin tried to use the small crowd of folks standing around pleading for the police officers to serve some protection on George Floyd as their defense. How was a small crowd even influential to a cop that has been behaving in this way for years? Derek Chauvin did not want to get off of George. This man enjoyed what he was doing as he placed his hands in his pocket. Even when the paramedics came on the scene Derek Chauvin still did not get off of George Floyd. Floyd was handcuffed and faced down with 3 other armed cops (cowards). That tape speaks volumes of truth. I understand it is the job of the defense to come up with all kind of tactics to help his client but all of the proof is there. All of the witnesses have testimonies crucial to convict. Lots of decent police officers spoke against Chauvin in court. Derek Chauvin does not have a blue wall of silence on his side this time. George Floyd life did matter. You are not above the law. It should be illegal to work in a community when you don't like the people in that city due to your biases. It should be prohibited to be a police officer if white supremacy is running hot in your blood.

As Americans continues to battle the highs and lows of covid-19, most folks are indeed thankful (hopefully) for any and all financial assistance our government has provided. However, when I read an article about the City of New York giving or offering undocumented families who are unemployed up to $15,000. I felt this is an issue that should have been fixed! No band-aids. You have a lot of people and Americans struggling and doing whatsoever they can legally and illegally to survive but most documented folks were given 3 checks that isn't even close to $15,000. I am not saying that they don't need it because they do! People who are documented Americans are receiving unemployment benefits monthly that have surpassed $15,000. Especially if there are kids involved. You get more $ if you have kids. A one time payment of up to 15,000 for undocumented families really isn't enough to be quite frank. What I am strongly articulating is this proves if our government can easily give that money away to people in need, we should not have high crime in our cities and no homeless people. Why hasn't the city of New York and others made it possible to help undocumented workers and families get documented? That is the first thing needed. They are well aware undocumented people are taken advantage of.
Joseph Franco lied and he got caught. He was charged with perjury in 2019. We love to say there are bad apples in every profession. There is. Even detectives like Joseph Franco fit the description. Franco's negligence has open the eyes of the fact, all of his statements of convictions should and could be erased. I pray for every drop of this correction to happen. You already heard about this too many times, especially in black and brown communities. They lie, convict and destroy our communities with these tactics. Franco needs to go!
Lil Nas X is known for his award winning song we were all jamming to a few years ago. Old Town Road gave America a history lesson on black cowboys. He recently launched a brand new shoe line. The name of the shoes are called "Satanic Shoes." Yes, lots of controversy over this. These particular shoes have Luke 10:18 inscribed on them and the numbers 666. There is also some sort of satanic star symbol on the front of the shoes. The Nike brand image is also on the shoes. Nike claims to have had no knowledge or authorization to Lil Nas X and has publicly said they were suing him for using their brand.
When I saw the shoe I just knew no one would be buying a pair of $1000 Satan shoes alleged to have a drop of real blood in them but I was proven wrong. They not only brought the shoes. They sold the shoes at a higher amount on eBay and the shoes sold out.
