Domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, children abuse…all of those things are the result of the brokenness of our society,” said Reverend Aleese Moore-Orbih.She said when bad things happen…

They claim Senator Tim Scott exhibited “great courage” and represented “independent thought” in his rebuttal speech last week to President Joe Biden. Nothing could be further from the truth, but there have always been collaborators among Blacks who are willing to substitute profit for integrity, and parrot the party line of the oppressors for personal gain. As the only Black Republican Senator in Congress, Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) got himself elected by proudly calling himself a “conservative,” but insisting he was one fully…

By Justice Page, Data News Weekly Contributor The COVID-19 vaccine will become more readily available for more eligible groups beginning in late March as vaccine manufacturers reached a major milestone on March 19th to produce enough vaccines to be distributed across the country. Some 7 million Louisiana residents have been vaccinated since December 2020. And as many residents have completed both doses of the approved vaccines, they are sharing with their neighbors and friends their experiences with getting vaccinated. “At first I was skeptical, because I’ve heard it takes a significant amount of time to get a vaccine developed,” said…

Nashville, TN (TN Tribune) — Today, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed Senate Bill 1229, a sweeping anti-LGBTQ education bill. This bill would require a school district to notify parents before “providing a sexual orientation curriculum or gender identity curriculum” in any kind of instruction, including but not limited to education on sexuality. This bill, along with the anti-transgender sports bill that Governor Lee recently signed into law, is part of the 2021 “Slate of Hate” — anti-equality bills pushed by national extremist groups and peddled by lawmakers in Tennessee in an effort to sow fear and division. In addition to making it harder…
