    CITIZENS PRIMETIME ??Should Children Be Tried As Adults For Violent Crimes ?????...

    in News

     
    ??Over the past decade, a bipartisan movement of legislators and advocates has been pushing to raise the age of criminal responsibility for juveniles. They are bolstered by neuroscience  that shows the still developing adolescent brain is more prone to taking risks and less capable of making decisions. And they are motivated by a pragmatic desire both to reduce recidivism and cut incarceration costs.??

    50 YEAR CELEBRATION - COUNTY RESOLUTION - BLACK HISTORY MAKERS COMMENTS

    in History

    Verna Melton, on September 3rd, accepted Commissioner Elber Garcia's Resolution. " I am pleased, honored, and humbly accept this resolution, which all Dallas County Commissioners have approved."  She reminded them not only her son, as reported by the Dallas Morning News reporter Mark Seibel;  over 5,000 Black Boys had been misplaced in a program to receive federal dollars.
    Also, she recalled the time in 1980 when Congressman Jim Maddox contacted us to arrange a meeting with Mr. Sam Cornelius, the chairman of the USDA. He selected us to distribute surplus cheese and butter. Mr. Lipscomb reached out to our friend Pete Schiekels, the CEO of Shepps Dairy at that time, for assistance with storage.  Mr. Schiekels helped us to utilize the Affords Refrigeration warehouse on Industrial at Cadiz. We distributed cheese and butter at the Judy Lott Center, the Parking Lot at Fair Park, and Fort Worth -Wesley Chapel AME Church, paving the way for establishing the first North Texas Food Bank. With our documentation, we assisted our friends MT "Buddy" Minyard, Jack Evans, and many other grocery owners in implementing the first North Texas Food Bank. 
    My husband and I were contacted to help a family staying in a Shamrock service station restroom on the corner of Hatchett and Scyene in South Dallas. We brought them to our center, where they remained at the Judy Lott Center for ten days until the Board Members pitched in to pay for an apartment and assisted them with furniture. With the help of our board members Carolyn Taylor (wife of Mayor Starke Taylor) and Annette Strauss (Mayor Pro Tem), we could document that only the YMCA and the Salvation Army assisted homeless men, not women or children. With our documentation, we assisted Mayor Taylor with raising funds for the Austin Street Shelter and Annette Strauss with the second shelter to help mothers with children.

    The junta in Niger wants American soldiers out - Russian backed

    in Current Events

    The United States are withdrawing from Niger because their recent junta is now being equipped by Russia.  Some Niger citizens think America is only in their to look after the diamond, uranium and gold industry.  
    US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell and Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine met on Friday, the reports said, with Washington committing to begin planning an “orderly and responsible” withdrawal of its troops from the country.
    The US built a military base in Niger to combat armed groups that pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS) in the Sahel region, which also includes Burkina Faso and Mali.
    The major airbase in Agadez, some 920km (572 miles) from the capital Niamey was used for manned and unmanned surveillance flights and other operations.
    Known as Air Base 201, it was built at a cost of more than $100m. Since 2018, it has been used to target ISIL fighters and Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM), an al-Qaeda affiliate.
    While maintaining a line of communication with the military government in Niger, the US military had started preparing for the possibility of having to withdraw, with US General James Hecker saying last year that Washington is probing “several locations” elsewhere in West Africa to station its drones.
    African leaders have been forced to accept and take bribes for their own survival.
    We have 5 callers - from Louisiana, TX, Georgia, Nevada and Minnesota.

About News

News, weather, traffic, sports. If it's happening, it's being talked about on BlogTalkRadio. Nothing has the power to move us, motivate us or shake us to our core like what's happening in the world, in the nation and in our neighborhoods. We rely on news for big-picture wants and immediate needs: We plan commutes by traffic reports, our outfits by the weather and our vacations by how the stock market performs. Whether current events happen close to home or across the globe, bookmark this category for in-depth discussions about breaking news and current trends by analysts, authors and educators alike. And if you're fascinated by weather, engage with fellow enthusiasts in conversation about climate change, superstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and more. And it's fun to note that sports – often paired with news, but here a category entirely its own – have rescued many people's social lives, built solely around team schedules.
