I’d buy some politicians and at least two Supreme Court justices.
The Powerball cash option is nearly 500 million. What outlandish thing would you do or buy if you won?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The white officers would disembark at the harbor and go ashore. They weren’t supposed to but custom.

When Smalls took over that night, he was wearing the captain’s hat and he knew all the signals as they passed forts and checkpoints. Once they cleared, they put up a white flag for the Union.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
