A 10-year-old boy accidentally fell and was stabbed in the face after swatting at a yellow jacket that landed on his hand while climbing into a neighbor’s tree house.   

Xavier Cunningham and his partners were climbing the ladder and he was at the top when he fell on a skewer the crew had found earlier.  His step father said the boy fell face first on the found skewer, and the skewer drove through his head. 

Before he fell he was covered with yellow jackets and lost his balance.  The boy’s doctor said the skewer entered the kids face just under his eye and traveled several inches through his skull.  Xavier was rushed nearly 40 miles to the nearest hospital in Harrisonville, Kansas from Kansas City.    The skewer stayed in the boy’s face all night as his mother sang songs and prayed to monitor him to ensure he didn’t pull the metal pole out.

While Black face a disproportionate degree of opioid restrictions.  In recent news a Georgia medical examiner has been sentenced to serve time in prison for trading opioid prescriptions for sex.  73 year old forensic pathologist Joseph Burton and seven others were indicted on conspiracy charges in February. 

Burton wrote prescriptions to women in exchange for sexual favors, and was aware that many of the recipients sold or bartered the prescriptions and pills according to authorities. 

Ok this is the best part according to his lawyer said of Burton, "Burton's moral compass has been destroyed by cardiovascular disease."  Can you believe he made this statement?  Dang!  He’s claiming Burton had a stroke in 2010 and the incident damaged his frontal lobe causing moral decay.

Trump is still causing trouble as one California high school student is in hot water after slapping the “make America Great again,” cap off the head of a student and slapping the teacher.  The student 17-year –old senior JoAnn Butler, grabbed the hat off his head and said, “That’s a racists and hatful symbol. 

She is now facing battery charges, one against her classmate and one against her teacher, who is accused of slapping the teacher as he escorted her from the room.    However, the student says she was exercising her political rights.  The father of the student said the situation was not handled right. 

The political and racist divide across the country deepens as Trumps message of hate and divisiveness spreads.

Trump’s son and Law and his company, the Kushner family real estate company has been fined$210,000 by New York City regulators.  Kushner Cos.  Did not respond to the decision after being lying about whether rent control tenants resided in Kushner Cos. Buildings. 

The city’s building departments said on Monday, more than 42 violations for false applications for construction work on double digits buildings along the time Jared Kushner ran the business.  Reports claim the company said it had no rent regulated tenants in its buildings when in fact it had hundreds.  This means the low paying, rent regulated tenants were being harassed and pushed out. 

Jared Kushner is the sitting president’s son-in-law.

American Aphorism: never change horses in the middle of the race. Analogy: King Bonespur Trump’s knowledge of American and World history, albeit limited, includes application of this aphorism’s principle: presidents are re-elected if we are at war.

Donald Trump vs. The City of Philadelphia has become a thing since the sitting President of the United States has withdrawn a standing invitation for sports teams to visit the White house after a victorious Championship run.

His propaganda team (Fox) news jumped right on the band wagon attacking the team causing them to retract a statement after the united city pushed back against the Trump machine. Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith said of Trump’s statement, it contained “so many lies.” He went on to say, "The men and women that wanted to go should've been able to go. It's a cowardly act to cancel the celebration because the majority of the people don't want to see you. To make it about the anthem is foolish."

Trump has proven to be great at tearing down but not very good a putting things together.

US televangelist is under fire for his recent purchase of a $54 million jet.

Jesse Duplantis a long time preacher and well known TV personality created a firestorm when he hit social media with news about his hesitancy to purchase the new machine. Social media users responded with allegations of “false prophets” among other charges. The general consensus being the monies used for the preachers travel could have been better spent on the needs of the poor.

The 68-year-old defended his position and created a video using three other planes that are also apart of his personal fleet.

This is not Duplantis’ first time being called on questionable acts. While performing with another evangelist friend Kenneth Copeland, Duplantis agreed with Copeland that when traveling on commercial airlines its like being, "in a long tube with a bunch of demons".

I love true democracy, and growing up in the United States of American we have been sold an idea of living the American dream and living in a true democracy. However, it would have to be called a false allegation, as a result of intentional lying.

According to an article written in 1992 by Bill Carter Cosby sent his representatives to New York city to negotiate a deal with NBC. Cosby enjoyed another Cinderella run in the 1980’s with the Cosby show. I said another, due to the comic strip tv show Fat Albert, would have to be considered a Cinderella run. Norman Brokaw, the chief Executive of the William Morris Agency and Cosby’s personal agent for 30 + years initiated a meeting with Robert C. Wright the networks president after it was clear the network was taking buy out offers.

An Ivy League student took her cloths off to protest against the professor suggesting her shorts were too short. In Ithaca, NY, Letitia Chai, pulled social media into a fight with her war against a teacher questioning her choice of clothing.

She not only removed her own clothing but instructed other students to do the same saying, “Strip, everybody!” the 18-year old said as her fellow students began to slowly disrobe. Letitia is a juior in the College of Arts and Sciences and is most interested in cultural property law.

She said as she took off her clothes, “I am more than a woman, I am more than Asian, I am more than Letitia Chai, I am a human being!” More than half the people in the room removed their clothes in solidarity.

After being admittedly “Shook” by the professors comments the Cornell student shook back.
