There’s nothing wrong with the Giant Slide on Belle Isle. It’s not broken.
These young kids just don’t know how it’s done. The “older” kids do. 😂

This morning, I noticed a group of white residents exercising and working out; on the opposite side of the same street, black residents were lining up for free-food distribution at a local rec center. If you don’t think there are two

Today, Detroit deserves answers to legitimate questions surrounding the fireworks. Don’t let “leaders” off the hook or give them a pass. This is what accountability is made of. We’re waiting…
Congratulations to my old boss & former

Recently Laura Ingraham mocked the death of Nipsey Hussle on her Fox News show...Did you all know that Laura Ingraham was a convicted thief who was charged with shoplifting while she was in college? She tries to mayonnaise-splain' this incident as a "dare"

Today when Trump arrives at Mar-a-Lago, he will have officially spent over 20% of his presidency at his golf courses, wasting $91,655,424 in taxpayer dollars on his travels to them. Playing golf, drinking a dozen or more diet cokes a day, lounging around like he’s in retirement.

I hate to say it but no one cares what residents think, want or need. So the hearings for DTE and District Detroit tax breaks are just that and nothing more.

Me: “What does Black sound like?”

EXCLUSIVE: 8,000 more nursing home dead in Michigan buried in Whitmer's statistical mass grave. *If the media would like access to the material & data for a follow up, I'm more than happy to provide it. DM me.
