In Atlanta,  just couple of months ago, some ninja jumped off the asphalt out of nowhere and proceeded to climb atop a woman’s car vehicle’s hood and smash it with his feet—for no reason: Keep that fool out of the state of Texas, because the Longhorn state will certainly have its work cut out for ‘em….

Cincinnati is well-known for its March Madness “crosstown shoot-out” between hometown colleges: Xavier and UC, but March madness (last night) was something altogether different. A rap concert just across town at Club OTR Live featuring hip hop artists 8 Ball and MJG (of one of my favs-Tela ) went on without incident. Meanwhile at club Cameo,…

Like a Tarrantino movie, the world awaits with baiting breath and a twitter hashtag: #KillTheBill. While Donald Trump never met the deadline to show and prove his Obama wiretap claims, a week later, he gave a deadline of today (close of business), for the GOP to vote to repeal Obamacare or it stays. Generally, creatively,…

Philippine President Duterte hit the ground running within 5 months after becoming President and as well, made some bodies hit the ground too. The “Thriller In Manila” is taking on a meaning all its own. Known for his blatant disrespect of President Obama and other political wrangles as reported at our sister site, Duterte likens unapologetic…

Since president-elect Donald Trump has been made official, it’s not just dissention in the American climate with protesters, Americas symbol: The bald eagle is feeling tense and agitated as well. Known as my personal spiritual animal and representative of the rhythm and my ‘way’: majestically soaring high above mere birds and concerns of catching worms and…

Here’s a lil’ diddy: In case you didn’t know, once upon a time-long before music’s Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs was runnin’ the city and became “Diddy,” he was running around in the city of Washington  D.C-iddy: dancing and dabbling in the books at Howard U. It was while there, he landed a gig with the then…

Regardless whether or not you watch the video from an aerial angle or right at it,   …one fact is apparent: A man with his hands in the air in visibly full cooperation with preparation of search and what, if any seizure was necessary, was shot—in a matter of seconds.   Well that man’s name…

“I-i mate!…was most probably the Aussie-spoken words two Canadian women heard after a tap on the shoulder changed their lives in ways they never imagined. This all comes as a culture shock of course, to me because it’s so reminiscent of girls (not me) who were about that kinda life sometime back in the late…

With tragedies from planes at high altitude descending to destruction having been commonplace whenever we hear of an aircraft malfunction, it’s refreshing to hear of an aviation malfunction with no catastrophe’s involved. Despite the inconvenience, all systems were grounded when around 2:30 a.m. Delta Airlines reported a power outage that impacted its systems worldwide. All…

Having started (and ending) with registration and licensing charges, unfortunately, Maryland woman Korryn Gaines’ ongoing run ins with the cops came a fatal end by way of SWAT.   Her story has many twists and turns that has two bottom lines and facts: Minor traffic offenses should not have resulted in a woman being dead,…

“Have it your way” turned out to be more than a mere Burger King’s slogan after an armed man made the decision to surrender after holding restaurant patrons for almost four hours today. Around 11 o’clock this morning, the unidentified man was spotted as a possible rape suspect that had occurred within 24-48 hours prior…

After killing 5, and injuring 7 of their own in what is being remarked as the most major American Armageddon since 9/11, if the emotion cops all over the country are feeling this morning [is] the same emotion one man wanted cops to feel after claiming their 559th civilian death (Philando Castile) just one day…

Remember the scene in The Color Purple when Sofia belted Miss Millie’s husband one after he hit her for telling Miss Mille “hell nall” (when she rejected Miss Millie’s suggestion that when her kids got older perhaps they could become her maid)?     Also, remember after serving 17 years time for that and coming…

Triple S convenience store in Baton Rouge Louisiana is looking more like the acronym for Shame, Shame, Shame right about now as the 558th senseless act of violence involving a police officer is remarked. Reportedly, 37 year-old Alton Sterling was standing out in front of the store selling CD’s when some sort of altercation interruption…

You see while Donald Trump had a good time quipping [that] his draft papers got lost in the mail (as for that reason, he never served our country), perhaps 2 tour Afghan Army vet and sharp shooter Jason Galvin of Minnesota might inspire him. Surely, next time when Trump meets a bald eagle he’ll be…

I’m guessing if we can hop up on that ‘3 million miles per hour’ rollercoaster ride holding us ‘6 billion feet’ in the air controlled by a 16 year-old pressing a button and walking away go to grab a funnel cake while we scream, the coast is clear for manufacturing a self driving car, huh? Well…

Ok so let me beat you to the punch on getting this lil guy’s meme setup for his next social media meme gone viral: “You mean to tell me you can put on a blue suit and a gun and catch’em in the act and shoot them…but I can be the mom-catching them in the…

So sue me. My mom had a way with words and an idiom for every situation that, when I was a kid, seemed like a foreign language I just couldn’t understand: “[clickandtweet handle=”” hashtag=”” related=”” layout=”” position=””]Effing with me is like running through a lions den with a pork chop suit on[/clickandtweet],” was one of…

[clickandtweet handle=”” hashtag=”” related=”” layout=”” position=””]There are two forms of justice in this life: The court of law and the court of public opinion[/clickandtweet]. [clickandtweet handle=”” hashtag=”” related=”” layout=”” position=””]The crazy thing about the law is that it’s not necessarily about the truth but rather, about what you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt[/clickandtweet].
