Will the con man in Congress get a pass?

NY- Is anything real about him? Rep. George Santos, the con man in Congress, misled New York voters with his resume and pretty much his very existence- Allegedly.

Let’s start with, he did not graduate from college. He’s never worked at Goldman Sachs. He’s not Jewish.

But Santos like most con men allegedly, has ignored requests from voters and fellow politicians to resign, he’ll have his job for the next two years.

Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating his finances. Democrats have asked the House Ethics Committee to look into Santos’ financial disclosures. Authorities in Brazil may revive a 2008 case regarding stolen checks. And according to many onlookers. He is using secret codes and signs while holding the floor. While federal investigators are focusing on President Biden’s files from his stint as Vice President. The deflection from Santos’s indiscretions are very noticeable. What is the current state of America?

6-Year-Old Shoots Teacher at Virginia Elementary School, Police Say

A 6-year-old student is in custody following a shooting at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News Friday afternoon that sent a first grade teacher to the hospital, Police Chief Steve Drew confirmed.

The first-grade educator is a female in her 30s. She suffered life-threatening injuries. “This was not a situation where we had a student, or any other individuals, going up and down the halls actively firing in a long shooting incident,” said Police Chief Steve Drew in a press conference held Friday. Instead, authorities believe the child deliberately acted with malice. He added, “This was not an accidental shooting.”

Newport News Public Schools Superintendent Dr. George Parker announced the school would be closed on Monday (Jan. 9) so staff and students could focus on their mental health. He said the shooting left him in shock and disheartened. The alarming incident comes as the nation continues to grapple with the influx of mass shootings that have taken place at schools and other public places. “We need to educate our children, and we need to keep them safe. We need the community’s support, continued support, to make sure that guns are not available to youth. I’m sounding like a broken record today because I continue to reiterate that we need to keep the guns out of the hands of our young people,” said Parker.

As for the suspected shooter, Drew noted, “We have been in contact with our commonwealth attorney and some other entities to help us best get services to this young man.” Through their investigation, the police chief said authorities hope to determine where the gun came from and they are looking into past interactions shared between the teacher and boy.

Police report, autopsy present different versions of Shanquella Robinson’s death in Mexico than what has been previously released

The FBI continues to investigate the death of Shanquella Robinson while in Mexico, federal agents will have to sort through different narratives to discover what actually happened. But a criminal defense attorney in Mexico says the autopsy should be trusted more than the police report. Some of those friends initially told Ms. Robinson’s mother that Ms. Robinson had died of alcohol poisoning, Mr. Robinson said. But a death certificate issued by Mexican officials and obtained by a Charlotte television station, WSOC-TV, listed the cause of death on Oct. 29 as “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation,” or the dislocation of a ring-shaped bone that supports the skull.

The certificate stated that Ms. Robinson was found unconscious in a living room at an address in San José del Cabo, Mexico, and died about 15 minutes after she was injured. It did not mention alcohol poisoning.

Mr. Robinson said he was shocked that the Mexican authorities had allowed his daughter’s friends to leave the country after her death. She had flown from Charlotte to Mexico on Oct. 28, he said, one day before she died.

Bexar County Sheriff to investigate into how migrants went from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard

Sheriff Javier Salazar, said Monday evening his agency will open an investigation into the transportation of 48 Venezuelan migrants from the state to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

On Monday a news conference was held in regards to his understanding, that on Wednesday a Venezuelan migrant was paid a “bird dog fee” to recruit 50 migrants from a resource center in San Antonio.

The sheriff said he believes laws were not only broken in Bexar County in transporting nearly 50 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard but that parallel laws were also broken on the federal side. San Antonio is the county seat of Bexar County. The south Texas county, about 160 miles north of the Mexico border, has a population of about 2 million. A migrant appears to have been paid to recruit other Venezuelan migrants, who have been crossing the southwest border in greater numbers, from the area around a migrant resource center in San Antonio, Sheriff Salazar said. The migrants were “lured under false pretenses” with promises of work and a better life, he added.

Bank of America set to help first time homeowners with no money down offer

To help even out the long ongoing homeownership gap among Black and Hispanic-Latino communities, Bank of America is launching new zero down payment, zero closing cost mortgage products to help people in minority communities buy their first homes.

The program is called the Community Affordable Loan Solution and will be available to certain markets including majority Black and/or Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods, in Charlotte, North Carolina; Dallas; Detroit; Los Angeles; and Miami.

The loans are subject to rigorous underwriting and are based on credit guidelines including on-time bill payments including rent, utilities, phone and auto insurance payments. Eligibility is based on income and home location. No minimum credit score or mortgage insurance is required. Seems to be a good deal?

Applicants however, do not have to be Black or Hispanic/Latino to qualify for the loans.

Biden’s student loan forgiveness provokes countless questions

Millions of Americans process the news of federal student loan forgiveness, but many questions are emerging about how it will all work.

When will borrowers see the relief? Who’s actually eligible? Do borrowers have to apply? The U.S. Department of Education’s website has been slow to load this week with so many people searching for these answers. The debt forgiveness, comes after months of deliberations in the White House over fairness and fears that it could exacerbate inflation before the midterm elections. The amount of debt canceled depends on whether the borrower received a Pell grant to attend college. A federal Pell grant is only given to undergraduate students who "display exceptional financial need and have not earned a bachelor's, graduate, or professional degree" and "does not have to be repaid, except under certain circumstances," according to the Department of Education's Federal Student Aid office. Per data cited by the White House, Pell grants currently only cover a third of the cost of a four-year public college degree, which has led to increased borrowing.

Individual borrowers who make less than $125,000 yearly and married couples or heads of households who make less than $250,000 yearly will have up $10,000 of their federal student loan debt forgiven if they did not receive a Pell grant as an undergraduate student, per the FSA website.

In May of this year, three American tourists died at the five-star resort, where rooms start at $377 a night.

Federal Officials Charge Four Officers in Breonna Taylor Raid

Ex-detectives Joshua Jaynes and Brett Hankison and current officers Kyle Meany and Kelly Goodlett face charges that include civil rights offenses, unlawful conspiracies, unconstitutional use of force and obstruction, Attorney General Merrick Garland said. The indictments made public Thursday allege that Jaynes and Meany "drafted and approved what they knew was a false affidavit to support a search warrant for Ms. Taylor's home," Assistant U.S. Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in Washington. "That false affidavit set in motion events that led to Ms. Taylor's death when other LMPD officers executed that warrant."

While Jaynes, Hankison and Meany were federally indicted, Goodlett was "charged on information," which typically means she has likely already pleaded guilty. She was charged with one count of conspiracy. 

Goodlett has a hearing scheduled in U.S. District Court on Aug. 12. 

Former President Trump said that WNBA player Brittney Griner should stay in a Russian prison.

Monkeypox: What symptoms to look for and how it spreads

Monkeypox, a rare tropical disease spread by wild animals in West Africa, has unexpectedly spread abroad over the last two months, posing questions about what precisely it is and how dangerous it might be. The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1970. Prior to the 2022 outbreak, monkeypox had been reported in people in several central and western African countries. Previously, almost all monkeypox cases in people outside of Africa were linked to international travel to countries where the disease commonly occurs or through imported animals. These cases occurred on multiple continents.

Symptoms of monkeypox can include:

• Fever

• Headache

• Muscle aches and backache

• Swollen lymph nodes

• Chills

• Exhaustion

• A rash that can look like pimples or blisters that appears on the face, inside the mouth, and on other parts of the body, like the hands, feet, chest, genitals, or anus. The rash goes through different stages before healing completely.

• The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks.

Sometimes, people get a rash first, followed by other symptoms. Others only experience a rash.

Symptoms usually appear one to two weeks after infection. Read more on how to use caution while engaging with others in Health.

Ice Cube Lands $100 Million NFL Pledge For Contract With Black America

New York- The NFL is partnering with entertainer Ice Cube’s pact to aid Black-owned businesses and combat the growing wealth gap in America.

Jackson says he wants to add other sports leagues, including MLB and MLS, and says he has reached out to the NBA but hasn’t yet received a response. More than 73% of players in the NBA are black compared to 58% in the NFL, according to The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport. The racial wealth gap has widened tremendously over the last 30 years. Among median and mean family wealth, white families outpace Black families by more than $100,000, according to data published in a September 2020 Federal Reserve report.

“This is how we decided to attack the wealth gap by going after big companies like the NFL,” Jackson says.

Panel Presents Evidence of Trump’s Refusal to Stop the January 6 Riot

New York- The House panel painted a detailed picture of how, as officials rushed to respond to an attack on the United States government, the commander in chief chose for hours to do nothing. In a final public hearing of the summer and one of the most dramatic of the inquiry, the panel provided an overall account of how, everyone’s life was in danger. From law enforcement officers, members of Congress and his own vice president were under threat, Trump could not be moved to act until after it was clear that the riot had failed to disrupt Congress’s session to confirm his election loss. “You’re the commander in chief. You’ve got an assault going on on the Capitol of the United States of America, and there’s nothing?” Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation’s highest-ranking military officer, told the panel. “No call? Nothing? Zero?” The evidence is pretty clear that the former person in office did not care if people loss their lives nor if he in fact would possibly lose his own. Let’s see how this plays out.

Suspected gunman in custody after 6 killed, dozens wounded at Highland Park Fourth of July parade

What sounded at first like fireworks to the parents who had brought excited children to a charming Fourth of July parade in their town. All of America only wishes that’s what it was. It was yet another display of unpatriotic behavior.

But within seconds, as marching band members and politicians strutted down the street, horrified spectators realized the noise from a nearby rooftop was a high-powered rifle spraying bullets into the crowd, killing six people and wounding dozens. Police said 22-year-old Robert "Bobby" E Crimo III was taken into custody following a brief police pursuit that ended in north suburban Lake Forest. No word on why the gunman committed this crime.+

The Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson made history Thursday as the very first black woman sworn in as a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jackson, 51, replaces Justice Stephen Breyer, whose resignation from the Supreme Court becomes effective at noon after his nearly 28 years of service there.

Jackson served eight years as a federal trial court judge and last June was confirmed for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia after also being nominated for that post by Biden.

Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, overturned

The U.S. Supreme Court officially reversed Roe v. Wade on Friday, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion upheld for nearly a half century, no longer exists.

Many supporters of abortions rights immediately slammed the ruling, while abortion opponents praised a decision they had long hoped for and worked to ensure. Including number “45”.

Protesters descended on the Supreme Court on Friday to speak out both for and against a decision that will upend decades of precedent in the U.S. This is in deed a dark day for women, teens and any young girl living in America. What message is this sending to the current generation? Guns and animals, now have more rights than women. What about and girls who may fall victim to predators? There are so many questions to this terrifying decision\. But the biggest question should be. Why do men in feel the need and desire to control a woman’s body? What gratification does it serve for them? This county does not want to assist most of its citizens. So, this overturn will be very interesting. Stay tuned for other methods of birth control being in jeopardy.

January, 1973 was the month liberation was set in place for HUMANS called women. +

Jan. 6 committee to detail the origins and reach of Trump’s election lies

New York- The Jan. 6 select committee, in its second of six scheduled public hearings, plans to highlight Monday the corrosive effect of Trump’s lie, and his weeks pumping it up with the help of political allies, friendly media megaphones and members of Congress. Trump’s campaign and the Republican Party reaped hundreds of millions of dollars in the weeks between Election Day and Jan. 6, 2021, a haul heavily influenced by those efforts to sow doubt about the results of the election. The select committee says it intends to show that many of the people who joined that mob had been inundated by those messages from Trump and his allies, which may have contributed to their radicalization.

"Here is my Performance Agreement and here are emails and texts confirming that, as per usual, I'm going to always keep it real and honest with my people."

Academy award winner Viola Davis says a former director called her by his maid’s name ”Louise”

New York- Viola Davis has an Oscar, an Emmy and a Golden Globe. And countless other accolades.

She’s a veteran of film and television, producer, director and writer. One would think that would disqualify her from any stigmas associated with many other Black actors and actresses. For example, Davis, 56, told Variety at the Cannes Film Festival during one of it “Women in Motion” conversations , a director called her by his maid’s name which is “Louise”. While the incident happened many years ago. To hear that had even transpired is still mind boggling.

How? Davis shared the experience, “I knew him for 10 years and he called me Louise, and I find out that it’s because his maid’s name is Louise,” Davis said, without disclosing the director’s name. “I was maybe around 30 at the time, so it was a while ago. But what you have to realize is that those microaggressions happen all the time.”

So, what can we take away from this revelation from one of the worlds most gifted and talented beings? None of that matters when it comes to someone only focused on your color.-HM
