Black women’s maltreatment nothing new, just insensitive

On April 27, 2021April 26, 2021 By admin

It’s been more than a year since armed white, plain-clothed, Louisville police officers ripped Breonna Taylor’s apartment door from its hinges and began firing. The botched no-knock warrant is reminiscent of the 1969 predawn police raid that killed Chicago Black Panther chairman, Fred Hampton, and defense minister, Mark Clark. Odds...

April 15, 2021Dear editor; I find it a fun hobby to watch those who proudly display their distorted thinking patterns. The latest example is the notion that jury duty is a personal inconvenience. Justice, fair and equal, is just not worth the bother? Some of the reasons Ms Goetsch gives...

Response: Christmas greeting serious

On January 19, 2021January 19, 2021 By admin

Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, criticized Western countries for abandoning Christian roots.
