If elected, President Donald Trump promises to make America white again. Here are his steps:
“I believe the children are our future / Teach them well and let them lead the way.” Whitney Houston sang these lines, but Dr. Doris Elizabeth Cross lived them. Through the Upward Bound program she led, Dr. Cross gave poor kids like myself a chance to experience college life and she made sure that we were prepared for higher learning. I was too young to understand equal opportunity and education; therefore, I am forever grateful that she was there to lead the way. May her soul rest in peace!

Yesterday evening, Đạo and I had a short conversation on death. He asked, “Daddy, why does everyone die?” I replied, “Well, it’s the cycle of life. You live and you die when you get old.” He went on, “I am going to miss you when you die.” I saw some redness in his eyes. I gave him a hug and said, “That’s why we need to spend as much time together as we can so when I die you won’t miss me so much.” He interrupted, “I have a picture of you.” I smiled, “Yes, and memories of me.” He continued, “But mommy will die first because she is older.” I replied, “Well, I don’t know about that. She is way healthier than me.”
Good art often takes time to make, and it often takes time to understand, too. It doesn’t feel unreasonable to suggest that perhaps the very first thing a person should do when faced with some nascent creation is not frantically and qualitatively assess its value.
She has a good point. In the contrary, I find that I don’t pay much attention to album like I used to do when I was writing reviews. Listening to music has become more passive for me.
Immediately after the debate in Miami, Hillary Clinton told her chief of staff that she was irritated with the same questions over and over again. She said, “Enough with the fucking emails. Enough with the fucking transcripts.” She went on, “I have been fighting my ass off in politics for more than 25 years and they don’t fucking trust me?” She continued, “Why don’t they go run for something, then?”
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.
