Late May 2026 Updates.

 

Recently, there was a shooting at a Islamic Center in San Diego. The person involved in the shooting has been neutralized. At least 3 people were killed as a result of the evil shooting. Tons of police are in the location to investigate and help people. According to the Imam of the school, there is a security protocol in the school. More facts are coming about this tragedy. One thing is perfectly clear. There is absolutely no excuse for murder or violence against innocent human life. We live in a nation that ought to respect religious freedom. Muslims have the right to worship and embrace their beliefs in peace without violence. If this evil can happen in San Diego, it can happen anywhere on this Earth. We have to clear to vehemently oppose terrorism period. The two suspects are dead. The hospital is preparing to receive more victims to try to save their lives. The police officers are securing the scene and forensic will be available to find out exactly what is happening. Two staffers and a security guard were murdered by cowards. The security guard engaged with the shooters according to eyewitnesses. No children have been killed. The security guard sacrificed his life to save the lives of innocent human beings. The murderers are a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old. Law enforcement said that the attack could be a hate crime, and the FBI will investigate the shooting. We know now that the shooters hated people of certain races or religions. Now, the community is suffering a lot of pain, and we have to do the right thing to oppose terroristic actions against people.


I found out a lot of genealogical information. My 3rd great-granduncle Benjamin Hurst (1874-1929) married twice. His first wife was Cora B. Sykes (b. 1885). His 2nd wife was Clara V. Artis Turner Sharp (1898-1966). Benjamin Hurst and Clara V. Artis Turner Sharp had many children like Margaret Victoria Turner Robinson (1924-2000). Margaret Robinson was born on April 19, 1924, at Capron, Virginia. She married Ernest Robinson Sr. (b. 1915) at Phoebus, Virginia on July 2, 1939. Phoebus is at Hampton, Virginia today. The couple had many children like Ricky Robinson of Hampton, Sears Robinson of South Carolina, Louise Crawford of Mississippi, Estelle Dickens, Peggy Mitchell, Narralee Saunders, Darlene Robinson, and Leta Robinson of Hampton. She had 25 grandchildren, one living brother, Sears Turner of Portsmouth, and she had 2 sisters of Fannie Sharp and Violet Sharp, both of Chesapeake, Virginia. She had many great-grandchildren too. Margaret V. Robinson was a dietician in 1989 from the Hampton Day Care Center. She was a member of Bethel AME Church. The daughter of Ernest Robinson Jr. (1939-1969) and Carrie Joyce Wilson (1941-2015) is Karen Yvonne Robinson Grigsby (b. 1962). Her first husband was Marcus Clinton Britton (b. 1961), and they married on February 24, 1988, in Newport News, Virginia. Her 2nd husband is Oliver Grigsby, and their marriage took place on April 9, 1994. The children of Oliver Grigsby and Karen Yvonne Robinson Grigsby are Demetri Rashad Grigsby (b. 1994) and Kayla Danielle Grigsby (b. 1998), who are my 4th cousins. Karen's granddaughter is my 5th cousin Skylar Paige Grigsby (b. 2015), whose father is Demetri Rashad Grigsby. Another son of Ernest Robinson Sr. and Margaret Victoria Robinson was my 2nd cousin Donald Robinson (1949-1993). Donald Robinson was born in Elizabeth City, Virginia, and he married Pamela Ann Morton (b. 1960) on September 30, 1985, at Hampton, Virginia. Their children are Antoine Robinson and David Robinson.


Ebola is one of the most dangerous viruses (being a disease) in the world. It has spread rapidly in a dangerous fashion from the Congo to other locations of the world. Recently, an American has it. Ebola has such a high fatality rate of 50% that immediate medical assistance (like IV fluids, blood pressure medication, oxygen therapy, blood transfusions and treatments for secondary infections, and other medications) are needed to those who have it. The current strain of Ebola has killed over 130 people. Ebola can be exchanged among human beings in certain circumstances like bodily fluids. That is why international authorities like the WHO (World Health Organization) has raised Ebola's level to a public health emergency of an international concern. Conversely, the Trump administration had radically cut medical investments domestically and internationally (like Trump cutting USAID), which is an overt plain injustice. Diseases, viruses, etc. aren't limited by national boundaries or geography, and they don't discriminate. Therefore, it is clearly imperative for national and international medical cooperation to combat the spread of Ebola, hantavirus, COVID-19, and other viruses harming human beings in a profoundly disastrous way.


Blanche admitted that the DOJ failed to protect Epstein victims' privacy. The victims' lawyers said that the acting attorney general's insistence that the DOJ immediately removed unredacted information was inaccurate. Blanche tried to sugarcoat the Trump's slush fund to aid the January 6th terrorists involved in the January 6th insurrection. Blanche has ducked questions asked by Congressional leaders if he would ban any money used by the DOJ to coddle convicts. Blanche said that he can't rule such actions out. The anti-weaponization fund caused a top Treasury Attorney to resign because this fund will loot taxpayer money to fund Trump's corporate interests. Many people said that the slush fund is blatantly illegal. 



Claressa Shields and Alycia Baumgardner are two of the most famous women boxers of our generation in 2026. They are in the headlines, they are confident in their boxing abilities, and they have proven themselves in the ring time after time again. The paradox about both women is that they were once friends, and now they are notorious enemies of each other. Both women have cursed each other out in various verbal disputes, accused each other of jealousy and envy, and desired to fight each other in the ring under their specific financial and weight conditions. Recently, both women argued with each other again in May 2026. Alycia Buamgardner was wrong to threatened to beat Claressa Shields up, and Claressa Shields was wrong to put hands on Alycia Baumgardner. Boxing always had spirited debate and banter, which is fine. Yet, we're grown adults here, and you can't put hands on people if it has nothing to do with boxing in the ring or self-defense. I don't believe that Shields is extremely vindictive as some have made her out to be, but Shields can't take the bait and hit on a person unjustly. I respect both fighters. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Shields was wrong to put hands on Baumgardner (MVP banned Shields from its events). The elephant in the room is that many boxing fans want Caroine Dubois to fight Alycia Baumgardner (as I do too). Hopefully, both women, who are Claressa Shields and Alycia Baumgardner, can move forward with their lives and focus on the sport of boxing without distractions.
