Several members of Congress have faced scrutiny for alleged insider trading, particularly during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some notable cases:
Donald is a member of the House Financial Services Committee which gives him first-hand knowledge of the financial markets and their standing. He just like so many other members of the Committee and the Congress are using the numbers and the data that continue to manipulate the public. These are crimes that are not being prosecuted that should. He just like the others should be prosecuted and jailed. Had the watchdog group that pushed this to be acted upon we the public would have never known. It is not only him but his wife is a part of this as well. She too looks like she is providing cover to cover up the crime. This is according to the article but the evidence looks over whelming to be a crime. Donalds and his wife made over 100 trades, valued between $108,000 and $1.6 million, over the course of 2022 and 2023. Rep. Byron Donalds failed to properly disclose two years’ worth of his and his wife’s stock trades.
It was up to $1.6 million, including stock in companies he oversees on a House committee.
Donalds has previously spoken out in favor of banning lawmakers from trading stocks.
Knowing that he is a Trump supporter and made that ridiculous tour around the Southeast speaking to Black Men for Trump is more in line that this story and report has some merits. Trump is unethical as well as the Congressman. The lies and cheating are for too much and I think in this post people should be looking to at just how dangerous this is. Why is it that all of the people in this article not arrested???
The 2024 Presidential election is quickly approaching, and all eyes are on the Southern states as they play a crucial role in determining the outcome. With their large populations and diverse demographics, these states are often seen as key battlegrounds in presidential elections. The Southern states have historically been a stronghold for the Republican party, but recent demographic shifts and changing political dynamics have made them increasingly competitive. The growing influence of minority voters, particularly African American and Latino communities, has reshaped the political landscape in states like Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. In 202, Georgia turned blue for the first time in nearly three decades, delivering a historic victory for President Joe Biden. This shift was largely driven by high voter turnout among minority communities and suburban voters who were disillusioned with the Republican party. Similarly, Texas saw record-breaking voter turnout and came closer than ever to turning blue. As we look ahead to the 2024 election, it's clear that Southern states will once again be pivotal in shaping the political future of our country. With shifting demographics and changing voter attitudes, both parties will need to strategize carefully to win over this crucial voting bloc. For Republicans, maintaining their traditional base of support while also appealing to new demographics will be crucial. Issues like immigration reform and economic opportunity will be key areas for outreach to Latino voters. Building on their success with suburban voters will also be important as they seek to hold onto traditionally red states like Texas. On the other hand Democrats will need to continue mobilizing minority communities while also reaching out to rural voters who may feel left behind by economic changes or cultural shifts. Issues like healthcare access and education funding could resonate strongly with these groups in Southern states. Ultimately, the 2024 election presents an opportunity for both parties to redefine their strategies when it comes appealing southern state voters. Whether it & #39;s through targeted policy proposals or grassroots organizing efforts, the influence of southern state voting blocks cannot be underestimated. As we look ahead at what promises what is sure shape up as another contentious presidential race, one thing is certain: all eyes are on the South.

Interest rates were as high as 7% over the last couple of years. Inventory was down, meaning prices were extra high due to not having enough houses around the country. Inventory is now up, and interest rates are going down means houses are affordable and there are plenty of inventory. Investors are making money hands over fists. They are selling properties at prices they know people cannot afford.

Dwayne Aikens, a visionary community leader, founded WELO on the principles of empathy, empowerment, and sustainable change. Aikens, drawing from his own experiences, recognized the transformative potential of community engagement. Growing up in a neighborhood facing various challenges, he saw firsthand the power of collective action and the positive ripple effects it could create.
WELO, an acronym for “We Empower, Lift, and Overcome,” began as a grassroots initiative with a mission to break the cycle of generational challenges. Aikens’ journey from a concerned community member to the founder of WELO is a testament to the belief that one person can ignite change. Today, WELO stands as a beacon of hope, embodying the spirit of unity and resilience.
Our vision is to help disadvantaged youth realize their full potential and live up to their abilities. Through positive team-building, educational and service oriented enrichment activities we empower youth to take an active role in determining their future.

We truly make sure that no child is left behind.
This organization was started by 3 young men that truly wanted to see their community flourish. So they decided to do something about what they felt needed to be dealt with. Dwayne Aikens Jr., Trestin George, and Lamont Robinson created WELO in 2010 as an avenue to engage youth through sports education, service learning, and civic involvement. While focusing on youth is our priority, we also believe in the importance of building a strong foundation. To help foster those efforts, we work closely with parents, teachers, and other community organizations to support youth development and assist in strengthening our communities.

The weather is nice and people are everywhere. We are heading towards the Summer Season like a headwind and people are preparing for gatherings, vacations and the Summer Holidays. As people are working and moving around doing the things they like to do, no one was thinking that they would see something traumatic. Afterall if you are in New York City there are always things going on and happening. New York is known for its abuse of Black People especially Black Men. The NYPD has killed many innocent Black Men and have never faced any consequences for their actions. They have their jails and prisons overpopulated with Black Men. Black Men and Women are abused by the states court system. The court system incarcerates them at a higher rate than any other ethnicity. If they commit the same crime as whites, black people are more likely to be incarcerated than whites. The bottom line Black People are more likely to go to jail in Self Defense Cases. This says to me that you are not allowed to protect yourself if you are Black. In fact if you call 911 they are background checking you as a criminal instead of listening to why you called. No one has ever taken the time to explain why there is so much hatred towards Black People. That is not rhetorical!!
On May 4th 2023 Jordan Neely was killed on a Subway Train in New York City. The Killer was Daniel Penny. Penny is a 24 year old former Marine. Jordan Neely was a 30 year old homeless man the did Michael Jackson Impressions. This man was not a threat to anyone and was simply trying to earn money to eat and live. Out of nowhere Penny grabs Neely from behind and puts him in a choke hold. What makes this even worse is Penny had 2 other men helped by restraining Neely’s arms and legs. It gets even better, the rest of the people on the train just watched and did nothing. They just watched as this man choked the life out of this man. They did the thing that is becoming more of a thing, they took out their phones and just watched a MURDER in cold blood. This just keeps getting worse, the NYPD interviewed the Murderer and let him go and the mainstream media wrote articles but would never divulge the name of the Murderer. This was a cover up that they were all complicit with and covered the murder citing that they were protecting him from violence when he was clearly the aggressor. If the shoe was on the other foot they would have Jordan Neely in handcuffs instantaneously and probably would have killed him anyway. There would not have been any questions but it is ok to Kill Black People. Karma is already making most suffer for all of this mistreatment and it is getting louder. I can tell you that the threats to killing Black People are going to get to the point that no one is going to care about threats. These people are getting worse and have shown who the real violent people are. Why is the justice system not working for Black People?
Reuters wrote an article on May 4th and they never cited the name of Daniel Penny. They covered him like a sheet and hid him from plane view. This is not Journalism this is Conspiracy actions that should be punished. The Mayor Eric Adams was basically putting the incident on Neely shifting the blame to Mental Illness when this is a homicide. I hope all the Black People of New York wise up soon and vote him out of office or recall him. This man has continually contributed to Black Communities being destroyed and continuing his membership with the NYPD and all that it does to make Black Lives Worse. He showed no compassion and never spoke the name of the Murderer but he is always trying to call out Black Communities that he refuse to do the things that need to be done to build them and work on the Homeless Crisis. He would rather lock these people up in Rikers in more Deplorable Conditions. He is like a hitman on the lose for prey. His counterpart, the disgusting Alvin Bragg would not even bring charges until the protest. How do they find these people that can not represent themselves much longer a constituent. These people only represent interest. Highest bidder wins and that is what has happened. If there is a court trial I am not sure Penny will lose. For the people of New York please make change and get real representatives that will represent your interests. People that will help you build your communities and make your life easier.
We are now in the 21st century and find ourselves in a situation that we just can not believe this is real. We find ourselves going through a pandemic. The pandemic is the Coronavirus. This virus is the flu to the 4th degree. There is no knowledge of its origin, where it came from and how it is transmitted. We know that this thing started in China and has now swept across the globe. We saw a country in Europe have a big spike but now we see America is leading the way in cases and deaths. The world found it hard to deal with the president of the United States (Donald Trump) but this is even worse. The impact of the Coronavirus on specific cities, neighborhoods and U S Territories has been devastating. What will we do to combat this silent killer?
When the virus first hit the U S there was many cases in Los Angeles California and Seattle Washington. It pretty much stayed on the west coast, but it was really showing up in Seattle. It then started to spread across the U S like wildfire after tormenting the west coast. When it showed up on the east coast it devasted New York especially New York City. Then it jumped back to Chicago and just ravished the city. Then it jumped back to New England devasting Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont. With these cities been hit the worse in the beginning, the U S started to see the death toll rise. It was so bad the whole country went into panic and then states started to shut down. This was not the same across the country though.
The south east started to get hit with cases and death. It started in North Carolina and then went to Florida and Georgia. Florida is the one state in the Southeast that was looking like New York. People new this virus was here but they chose to go to the beach for spring break. This is when the shift happen and it was noticed that young people started to be infected at an alarming rate and the death toll was growing very large. Then it headed southwest. We started to see Dallas Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana take off with cases. Dallas took off like a rocket but slowed down. Oklahoma which is not so big of a state had an enormous number of cases for its size, but New Orleans Louisiana was worse than New York with the number of cases. No one could believe that Mardi Gras was still going on when the outbreak of the virus was announced. They not only had a massive number of cases, but the deaths were happening at a rate of 200 a day. To me this is starting to look targeted and no one can explain what this thing really is. I started to get anxious.
When this thing first got here it was looking like only White People were dying. Then it totally changed and Black and Brown people were dying at an alarming rate. This was, particularly the Black people. Being just 13% of the population and suddenly 35% of the cases and deaths was an alarm for Black People. There was an SOS sent via social media, print media, television and radio that black people are dying from this virus and there was no testing. Most Black People are wondering is this something that is targeting us or what?
What was taking place is that every black neighborhood in every black metropolitan city was being ravaged. Communities in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta had high numbers of death of Black People. There is so much death that is causing people to come up with what looks like conspiracy theories. What is happening in the meantime is there are some that are still not understanding what is taking place and they are in harms way. Is this really happening all over the country?
When people thank of the U S they only think of the lower 48 and not the territories. The U S Territories are not being affected at the rate of the states. The territories of Puerto Rico, Dominica Republic, Guam, Virgin Islands and Bahamas have minimal cases. It is not known why that is. What is speculated is that the climate is the main source because it is warm and tropical. For most that does not make sense because of California and Florida. They too are warm and tropical climates, but they are flooded with cases and death. Hawaii also has that climate and yet they do not have that many cases and death. Could one or more of the conspiracy theories be true?
As a result of the impact of the Coronavirus on specific cities, neighborhoods and U S Territories Black People are dying at an alarming rate. This pandemic has destroyed cities that populate high rates of black people. It has led to more economic disparities that may lead to people being homeless and never get a job. It has gone into major black communities killed more people than anyone could have ever imagined. There are other people and age groups that have died but not like black people. The U S Territories have not experienced nearly as much devastation as the mainland. What ever the reason maybe I am happy that something has kept these people safe. Despite Congress passing a bill call the Care Act there is still scandal and non-trust by the American people. The bill has helped those that are unemployed temporary and helped hospitals, but it is not helping small business. Where did $385 billion dollars go in less than a week?
