Nothing is perfect in life. The most truthful words spoken by the interviewee #NABJ24 I’m practicing the bright side.

The most special effect ever: the naturally gifted voice!
When deep fried vocals were not the norm and we could levitate at will every now and then with Sarah Vaughan and Sammy Davis Jr.

Watch the so-called small seats.
A three judge panel has unanimously ruled that North Carolina's GOP-controlled legislature unlawfully tried to seize from Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper the power to choose elections board members in the state — saying portions of a new election law must be permanently blocked.

Those pesky facts …
Elise Stefanik Just said at CPAC that Donald Trump left President Biden "The strongest economy in my lifetime...The lowest unemployment in 50 years." This is a blatant lie. The unemployment rate was 6.3 percent in January 2021. It's 3.7 percent now. The GDP growth under Trump was the worst since the Great Depression.

A pretty compelling argument.
*NEW VIDEO* #VoteBidenOrWeAreAllDoomed *RT* Democrats Independents must unite to defeat Trump in 2024. All third party votes are Trump votes. Sit out like millions did in 2016 and Trump wins. Please RETWEET: #VoteBidenOrWeAreAllDoomed

Follow the thread and read the Texas Tribune article. Higher education or are they just #high at Texas A&M? @rolandsmartin calling for action.
ATTENTION ALL BLACK HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES: DO NOT sign with Texas A&M University @tamu unless they apologize and reinstate their offer to graduate Kathleen McIlroy. I’m also calling on Education @SecCardona to launch a civil rights investigation into the university. 1/4

What we missed in history class - not by accident.
Replying to @AfricanArchives
—Bridget was born enslaved in Hancock County, Georgia, on August 15, 1818. She was given as a ‘gift’ to Robert Smith when he married and was moved with the family to Mississippi. There, the Smiths converted to the Mormon Church, which encouraged members to free their slaves; however, Smith chose not to. They joined with other members to move to Utah in 1847. The Smiths then traveled with a group that went to San Bernardino, California, in 1851. —As California was a “free state,” Smith was again encouraged to free his slaves but refused. In 1856, Smith planned to move to the slave state of Texas. Before he made the move, Bridget and other slaves escaped, but Smith caught up with them. As he was making his way out of California, a local posse stopped them. Bridget and the other slaves were then taken from the Smiths, and they petitioned a court in Los Angeles for their freedom, which was granted. Mason then worked in Los Angeles as a nurse and midwife, carefully saving her money, and became one of the first African Americans to buy real estate in the city. Continuing to invest in land, she amassed a small fortune of nearly $300,000 and became a philanthropist, helping to found a traveler’s aid center, an elementary school for black children, and the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, the city’s first and oldest black church. She died in Los Angeles on January 15, 1891.

Pure love and good sense.
Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakening after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11. His response was awesome: "Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played barefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me."
