I am sad to learn about Ms. Doris Cross’s demise due to a massive stroke. Ms. Cross was my mentor—as well as many kids growing up in the poor families—and her work gave us a chance to go to college. I am grateful for the Upward Bound that she ran to make sure we had the opportunities to thrive. I wrote an open letter to her six years ago and now she’s gone.
Rest in peace, Ms. Cross. You will always be remembered.
When being questioned about the reasons GM switched back to Detroit water, experts explains that the high levels of chloride in Flint water, not the lead, corroded the engines. GM engines were not built with a system to sustain chloride. On the other hand, chloride is good for cleaning up the human body. As for the lead, experts claimed that people can just urine them out. So if you drink more lead-based water, the faster the lead pass through your body.

When asked about Clinton’s use of the word ‘superpredators’ to describe black youth, a member of the Black Votes Matter responded, “It was twenty years ago and people had changed.” He continued, “It was a poor word choice on her part and she already apologized for it.” He went on, “If she used the word ‘nigger’ instead of ‘superpredators,’ then she should not have been forgiven.”
On Saturday, I managed to get through the entire season one of Fuller House while holding baby Xuân on my lap. He slept through most of the time while I had a moment to reflect on my life in the early 90s. Full House was one of my favorite sitcoms after school. Although I didn’t understand fully what they were saying, I enjoyed it. I even had a crush on Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). She was cute and funny even though I only had half of a clue of what she said. The reboot Fuller House brings back so much memories, yet the show has moved forward. The ladies are now in charged. Having read this piece about Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie), I am glad that the cast gets to continue to do the show. I am definitely looking forward to season two.
In the Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders stated, “If you go to a porn store and you legally purchase a porn video, and then three days later, if you go out and start having promiscuous sex, is the point of this lawsuit to hold the porn shop owner or the manufacturer of that porn liable?” Sanders asked Sunday night. “If that is the point, I have to tell you I disagree.” He continued, “If they are selling a product to a person who buys it legally, what you’re really talking about is ending porn manufacturing in America. I don’t agree with that. Sara Jay has the right to make her money as well.” Hustler tweets the following response, “Sen. Sanders was spot-on in his comments about porn manufacturer liability.”
After watching the G.O.P. debate, Governor Rick Snyder issued his endorsement for Marco Rubio. Mr. Snyder agreed with Mr. Rubio that “What happened in Flint was a terrible thing.” He continued, “I didn’t wake up one morning and said ‘Let’s poison someone.’” Holding a glass of water on his hand, he went on “I drank this water for months and nothing happened to me other than making my hair turned gray.”
Unlike the GOP debate last week, which focused on personal attacks, frauds, and penis, the Democratic debate is full of substances. Both Clinton and Sanders are wise, thoughtful, and respectful. Sanders sounded a bit grumpy at times, but they both were fantastic in proving their differences rather than their characters.
Although I voted for Clinton and still hope she will get the nomination, I have no problem supporting Sanders if he wins. They both have their heart in the right place.
I like Clinton’s closing statement, in which she refuses to go down the gutter with the GOP’s primary candidate. I hope that she will stick to her words to win the election. I can’t see a bright future for America with Trump, Cruz, or Rubio. In fact, I would be very concerned if one of these guys will be our next president.
Yo! GOP. Let’s kick it.
Trump’s Trump’s party.
Trump’s Trump’s party.
Alright Mex, collaborate and listen
I’ll deport your ass without questions
Marco, grab a hold of my dick tightly
Blow like a hard porn daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know
Turn off the lights and I’ll explode
To the extremists I rock you like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.
(That’s all I have.)
