Image Generated by Bing Copilot AI Thirty-six years ago in another life, I represented a young student from West Africa who was charged with stabbing his girlfriend to death then setting her and their apartment on fire. The young lady was from South Africa. My client suffered severe burns in the fire. He was taken to the hospital where he was treated, given some strong painkillers, and released…

My Halloween gift to you. Enjoy.

            Jonathan Williams, in response to his mother telling him Kristina was calling, got up from his bed and walked into the kitchen, where the only telephone was other than the one in his mother’s bedroom.             As he took the first step towards the telephone, Jonathan knew exactly what he wanted to tell Kristina Edwards Collins.

The story of Bruce Lee offers insight into ways cinema shapes popular culture and how some Asians struggle for identity and war against the prejudices and stereotypes of others – a struggle that is emblematic of other immigrants and people of color. Introduction The “awesome ability of film to shape our lives and culture,” is well attested.[i] In 1953, Gary Cooper appeared in a movie in which…

Hi [[firstname]] Do you know the #1 reason most guys over 40 struggle to get it up? It’s got nothing to do with age, genetics, or what you eat. Instead, according to the latest research… It has everything to do with THIS hidden organ: It’s an organ all men have inside their body. However, as you reach your late 30s, this hidden organ starts to break down. It doesn’t work right. As a…

Dear Chief Brown: You have asked the public’s help in identifying co-conspirators who aided and abetted the gunman who shot 12 police officers – five fatally. Your plea came after a dragnet of the “usual suspects” failed to turn up any useful information. It may be that no one has come forward because it is hard to see clearly when one is in the midst of a storm. Therefore, given my perspective…

Hardly anyone will disagree with the assertion that this presidential election is one of the most heart wrenching, mind boggling, soul sickening, of all time. Both candidates of the two major parties have unfavorable ratings higher than any other presidential candidate in the modern era. And perhaps worst of all, both candidates of the two major parties have a difficult time with truth. I am not…

“Why monitor a problem if you don’t fix it?” Perhaps you have seen this ubiquitous commercial for a credit monitoring service. One commercial shows a security guard at a bank being robbed and he does nothing. “Why don’t you do something?” asks a person lying on the floor. “Oh, I am not a security guard. I’m a security monitor to alert you when there’s a robbery. There’s a robbery.” Another…

People often believe then go about constructing a rationale for such belief. As one scholar noted in defining theology as “faith seeking understanding.” The person of faith believes and the task of the theologian is to provide a justification for that belief or to…

A well-placed source in the French Council of Ministers revealed today that some ministers are testing the waters about a proposal to revoke the Louisiana Purchase. Said one minister who insisted on anonymity, “President Trump has proven to be no friend to contracts. He has pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, TPP and most recently the Iran Nuclear Agreement (“JCPOA “) and is renegotiating…

First, it was Jeff Sessions, then Ted Cruz, then General Flynn, then Lindsey Graham, then James Comey, then Bill Barr, and now, it pains me to write it, Commander Conley. All of these names are of men with once impeccable reputations and competency who exemplified American ideals. But one by one, they were touched by President Trump and corrupted to their very core. That is because no matter what…

“Sticks and stones might break my bones, but words will never hurt.” I heard that declaration many times in my youth and must confess I too uttered those words on occasion. Neither I nor those who meant well by uttering the phrase were aware of civil and criminal liability for slander and libel. And of course, we had neither read nor heard of “Murder in the Cathedral.” Power of words uttered by…

Goodbye CNN. You have been my primary source for news and information since the election of President Obama when I discontinued watching Fox News because of its disrespect of President Obama and its embrace of conspiracy theories and rejection of truth. Now, you have devolved into that same quicksand. I am shocked and saddened at the disrespect your talk show hosts (Dare I call them…
