Real News

Now, we witness a new era of time. One criminal named Manafort was convicted of 8 counts of economic corruption and the other charges are undecided. The federal government sent tons of documentation to prove that he failed to let the government know about his corrupt transactions and other malfeasance (relating to bank and tax fraud). Manafort is guilty on 8 of the 18 counts and he faces many years in prison. Michael Cohen pledged guilty to charges in New York City. He could face 4-5 years in prison and he admitted under oath that Trump directed him to make payments to 2 women which violated campaign finance laws. Cohen admitted to 8 counts of wrongdoing. This is the first time in American history where a man under oath admitted that he was acted at the direction of the President who directed him to enact a crime during the election season. Also, Manafort has another trial coming up in Washington, D.C. during September. Cohen's attorney said that he has information that is very relevant to the Mueller investigation like information about the Trump Tower meeting and election fraud. The plea deal by Cohen definitely implicates Trump in campaign finance violations.

So, we have told the world that Trump is a habitual liar. He constantly slanders the press and has a lawyer/spokesman Giuliani saying that the truth is not the truth. Giuliani is known for being an authoritarian mayor of NYC when I was younger and he minimized the police brutality crisis in NYC back then. Police brutality is still a crisis today in America. These sets of events are very historic and some have called these events as the beginning of the end of the Trump Presidency. When you have over a dozen people resigning, being convicted, or pleading guilty of felony crimes, then there is a problem with that administration. When you have an administration that abuses its power, abhors the separation of powers, and demonize immigrants, then that administration is abhorrent. Trump saying that this is a witch hunt is false. You have Mueller taking his time to investigate the issues of collusion and obstruction of justice. It's irony since Michael Cohen was one of Trump's greatest supporters. Now, Cohen saw the handwriting on the wall and had done a plea deal. He admitted that he violated campaign finance laws in payments to one person at the direction of Trump. Trump and his administration are filed with corruption literally. In the final analysis, Trump is a total nefarious person.

News today are heavily abundant. Former CIA Director John Brennan is considering going to court to prevent future unfair revoking of clearances. Many people in the intelligence community supported a letter condemning Trump's actions. Omarosa gave a recent interview with Al Shaprton saying that Donald Trump wants to provokes a race war. Omarosa also have shown tapes and other evidence to validate many of her claims. She did this since she believed that no one would believe it without these items of factual evidence. Then, you have Rudy Giuliani outlining falsehoods in his Meet the Press interview yesterday especially saying that truth is not truth. Donald Trump has used his Twitter to slander people and bully others. So, there is never a dull moment here. We live under bizarre times and the good news is that the Trump regime will end in the future. It won't last forever and it's our jobs to do right and help our neighbors. In that sense, crowns upon crowns will await us.

Yesterday was the Birthday of a great actress who for decades have shown the wide ranging experiences of African American life. Her name is Sister Loretta Devine and she is now 69 years. From being in movies and TV shows, she gracefully performed her talent globally. Houston is the hometown of hers and Houston is city with dynamic culture. Her relatives placed the great values of hard work and perseverance which shines throughout in her long stretching career. In 1971, Devine graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Arts in Speech and Drama. In 1976, she received a Master of Fine Arts in Theater from Brandeis University. Broadway was key part of her early career. She was part of the famous Dreamgirls play during the 1980's. Dreamgirls was based on the story of the Supremes. A Different World, Waiting to Exhale, Being Mary Jane, and other shows plus movies definitely displayed her excellent acting skills. Today, she is still intimately involved in acting as she loves the performance of it. She has a child and she is gloriously making the world better. I wish Sister Loretta Devine more Blessings. A role model, a hero, and a strong man defines Brother Al Roker. It was his birthday days ago and he is now 64 years old. He was born in Queens, NYC. He is known as a journalist, weather personality, actor, and author. He is the current weather anchor of NBC's Today. His parents are of Afro-Caribbean descent. His mother has roots from Jamaica and his father has roots from the Bahamas. He worked in news stations showing the weather throughout New York state and Cleveland during the 1970's. His wife is the famous ABC reporter Sister Deborah Roberts too. She has made magnanimous accomplishments in her own right. In real life, my mother saw Al Roker giving children advice on life many years ago. He has three children. With humor, great insights on matters, and charisma, he has expressed a great light throughout the globe. From hosting parades to inspiring human beings, he has made the lives of so many others more enriched with his actions. I wish Brother Al Roker more blessings.



Usain Bolt has his Birthday yesterday. He is the fastest human being in human history and he is now 32 years old. He recently retired from track and field, but his legacy is set in stone as the greatest sprinter of all time. He was born in Sherwood Content, a small town in Jamaica. As a young person, he played cricket and soccer. By the age of 12 years old, he was known around Jamaica as a very fast sprinter. By 2001, he started to win many awards in Track and Field. By the Summer Olympics of 2008 in Beijing, Usain Bolt was great to break records and increase his legendary career. He won 2 gold medals in Beijing. He won 3 gold medals in the London Olympics in 2012 and 3 more gold medals in the 2016 Olympics in Rio. He transformed the sport of track and field in our generation. He has inspired a new generation of young men and young women to pursue sprinting, the long jump, long distance running, the marathon, and other sports in relation to track as well. People respect his confidence and easy going personality. He has the fastest 100 m race in history in Berlin with the time of 9.58 seconds in 2009. 19.19 seconds was the time of his 200m world record in Berlin too back in 2009. Usain Bolt is a person who will continue to promote excellence in his own way. I wish Brother Usain Bolt more blessings.
