On Saturday 7-13-24 at former president Trump’s rally, he was shot in his right ear, and was missed by inches of dying. It is easy for many Americans to not agree with Trump’s platform, but violence is never the way to resolve an issue.

WASHINGTON, DC – Everyone’s heart should cry out for the people of Union Island, Carriacou, St. Vincent, Grenada, parts of Jamaica, St. Lucia, and the fisherfolk of Barbados, all of whom suffered greatly under Hurricane Beryl’s severe blow. On Union Island and Carriacou, the destruction was particularly vicious, leaving residents lost and helpless, with their homes and livelihoods destroyed.

WASHINGTON, DC – The seven nation Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), which marked its 43rd anniversary on June 18, 2024, is arguably one of the most successful integration projects in the world. It is second only to the 27-nation European Union (EU).

What if there was a blueprint for a future presidential administration to unilaterally lay waste to our constitutional order and turn America from a democracy into an autocracy in one fell swoop?

I sincerely believe Joe Biden is a decent, caring human being who has been an outstanding President. However, I am also convinced that it is time to express our gratitude to Biden for his exemplary service and respectfully ask him to step aside. It’s time to rally around Vice-President Kamala Harris to lead the Democratic Party and this nation to victory over Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement.

In 1865, over 159 years ago, the U.S. eliminated or outlawed slavery in the U.S. with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. One of the promises and pledges to freed slaves was that each would receive 40 acres and a mule. This commitment would help former slaves with building a home, raising a family and growing wealth through land ownership and entrepreneurship. While some Black Americans were able to receive land in the 1860s and 1870s, unfortunately, many former slaves nor their descendants ever received land. In fact, many Black Americans that were given land were chased off their land with force and brutality from the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and other white supremacy organizations. 

It was one of Murphy’s Laws that said, ‘If something can go wrong, it will.’ Well, it’s the women’s law that says, if something goes wrong, it’s the man’s fault. Oh yes, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Loosely translated from Latin, ‘It’s my fault, it’s totally my fault.”

In a country where wealth disparities persist, financial inclusion is still the road that leads to equity. Black Americans have historically faced barriers to wealth generation and investment opportunities. Today, the tide is turning, and technology is paving the road to education, access, and empowerment.

Based on all the niceties and pleasures that love is supposed to bring, chronicled by great scribes, poets and singers, you’d think that everyone would want to be loved.

I have admired Joe Biden since 1988. I did not think the plagiarism charge should have caused him to abort his presidential aspirations back then. I was ecstatic when the seasoned, scrappy senator from Scranton joined - and added heft - to Barack Obama’s run for the White House. And lastly, I proudly voted for Joe Biden for president in 2020.

Are you one of the more than 100 million Americans who live somewhere that was (or still is) under a heat advisory?

WASHINGTON, DC – On Friday, 14 June 2024, Antigua and Barbuda and the State of Palestine established diplomatic relations, advancing the step taken in 2011 when Antigua and Barbuda declared its recognition of Palestine as a State.
