This article discusses three former Minnesota law enforcement officers who pleaded guilty to federal child sexual abuse charges and are await sentencing in the Sherburne County, Minnesota Jail.

On January 7, 2026, Minnesota-based ICE agent Jonathan Ross pulled out his service revolver, pointed it at an unarmed Renee Nicole Good, and pumped three bullets into Good’s head and face at close range. Moments later, Ross called Good a “fucking bitch.”  Ross and fellow ICE agents rejected a doctor’s plea at the scene to administer emergency medical assistance to Good, thereby assuring she would bleed out. In my opinion, Good's death is a police murder.

Looking back on my legal career today, I am probably the only Birmingham lawyer who had three different local groups seeking to run me out of town simply because: (a) I disturbed the “good relations” White business leaders in Birmingham had with the "Colored community,” (b) I was proficient at picking the highest caliber of legal talent for my litigation Dream Teams, and (c) I was winning all of my assigned cases. This article tells the story of the third group -- local Blac

It was the week before Christmas, 51 years ago. Mr. Charlie W. Pollard and another survivor led me to a small shack in rural Macon County, Alabama. The man inside the shack could not come to the door, but he called out for us to enter his tiny home after Mr. Pollard knocked loudly on the door and announced our presence. This man was dying from the effects of 40 years of untreated syphilis and related health problems. He was a fellow participant in the infamous Tuskegee Sy

In light of recent media hype about Bitcoin, I raise this simple banking question: Is Bitcoin a Tier 1 asset? The clear answer is,"No." Bitcoin is a "junk asset" that President Donald Trump and industry insiders are trying to mainstream as a legitimate alternative currency to cold, hard, cash. It is speculative, volatile, and lacking in intrinsic value. Of course, Trump and his family members are in the cryptocurrency business.

In 2026, Alabama voters will choose a new governor. Three candidates have entered the race. Two of them are 71-year-old white men whose prior public service has not lifted the quality of life of Alabama's citizens. The third candidate is Dr. Will Boyd, a fresh face, a super-smart man, a doer, and a viable candidate for governor. It’s time for Alabama to try a different kind of leader.  The state must break the endless cycle of scalawags in the governor’s office to reach its

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised to develop 10 "charter cities" or "freedom cities" in the U.S. on undeveloped federal lands. He committed to using federal funds to develop these cities. The new cities target residents who want to escape from regulation and "failing" democracy. Trump's stated goal in building these cities was to boost American innovation in light of the U.S.-China technology race. His real goal was the enrichment of the Trump fa

In 2017-18, the U.S. Army convicted 110 black soldiers of murder, mutiny, and other crimes in three mass trials. The soldiers were represented by a single officer who was not even a lawyer. The all-white military court took just two days to convict the first 58 soldiers. Thirteen men were sentenced to death. They were denied any appeal and were hanged less than 24 hours later. The second and third trials resulted in death sentences for an additional 16 soldiers, six of whom w

Thanks to his father's influence and U.S. taxpayers, Donald Trump, Jr., is about to become a trillionaire. His trillionaire status will come from rare earth minerals mining deals authorized in three strategic partnership agreements signed by President Donald Trump on December 4, 2025, with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda.

I talk to Doristine Watkins Minott every day.  The public knows her as “Tina Minott.” In our family, we call her “Teannie.” She is two years older than me. She is also my youngest sister. We are extremely close.  This article is my tribute to her.

Cryptocurrency is a form of digital currency. Unlike traditional currencies that are issued by central government authorities and regulated within an established banking system that is insured and highly regulated for customer safety, cryptocurrencies exist on decentralized virtual networks and use “blockchain technology" to securely record, store, and verify data.  The value of cryptocurrency is based solely on supply and demand, speculation, and perceived future usefulness.
