My position on illegal immigration is very public—I DO NOT SUPPORT AMNESTY under any circumstances. So, with the new illegal immigration bill signed into law in Arizona and the volume of phone calls seeking my opinion, I have decided to share my thoughts on this issue.

But this time, I want to try a different approach. Those who are interested in my detailed views on illegal immigration can go to my website and read some of my previous columns of this subject. In thi

Poet Peggy puts social ills in the spotlight in her new CD

“After the launching of her debut CD, entitled Truthfully Speaking: History, Music & Poetry, local
poet Peggy Burns’ red-hot topics have succeeded in bringing many of the island’s social ills to the forefront.

This totally local production is thought-provocative and the different musical genres t

The March 2010 CDC report stated that nearly half of black women in the U.S. carried the Herpes virus. Here's why those statistics and others like them may be misleading.

The March 2010 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sited startling high levels of the genital herpes virus among African American woman. The report found that 48 percent of African-American women have been exposed to the virus that causes genital herpes. The report gave many African Americans the al

White networks are beginning to charge for their services and instead of black social networks capitalizing on how we differ from them that would encourage blacks to join us these black networks like Izania continue to report and advance white networks while hypocritically proclaiming that:

How does a simple deployment of new police officers address the state of mind, social conscioussness, lack of respect of law enforcement, and the ongoing street battles over desperate economic conditionns that drive the vionece, plan to stop it ? ?
