Case Sandra Bland

land

Just when you think with everything going on in the US, the trend of the police brutality on African Americans would fade, right? Here’s why, once again, we are proven wrong.

kamlaa

Aunty Kams strikes again. It seems that in order to participate in the Leaders’ Debate, PM Kamla Bissessar has made a couple….well actually, 29 demands that are apparently ‘non-negotiable’. One of them being that her team must approve of the comfort of the seats at the venue, seeing that she prefers to sit and will NOT stand..STEUPS.

Please stop what you are doing, go into your wallet and take out ALL of your money and throw it out the window. In fact, wait and give it to the very next stranger you see. Don’t have cash? Head to the bank and withdraw a few hundred and then give it away. I can hear it already: “Steupss, this writer MAD! Who going and do that?” You wouldn’t dare give away your hard earned money, so why are you letting the government do it?…

What can we say about Donald Trump that hasn’t already been said about his hair? How about that he is a real-estate tycoon, a household name in the hotel business, a reality TV star, and a 2016 presidential candidate for the United States of America. The billionaire King Pin of New York City recently got himself into a pickle, a Mexican pickle to be exact, after he made crude statements during his presidential campaign announcement. Mr. Trump said, “when Mexico sends its people, they’re not…
