Iran is one of the most advanced civilizations in the world. As a country, it is 5,200 years old. Its population is 93 million people. Iran has established itself as a trustworthy and reliable partner for rapidly developing countries throughout the African continent. It has also supported the economic empowerment of U.S. Blacks for nearly five decades.

On April 29, 2026, in a 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that Louisiana's congressional map, which included a second majority-Black district, was an unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. For all practical purposes, this ruling gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It also clears the way for “Jim Crow” to arise from the grave.

On my digital media platforms, I always strive to feature and honor the true civil rights heroes who opened the doors of equal opportunity for historical victims of “cradle to the grave” racial, gender, age, and religious discrimination and not those who put new locks on these doors. Furthermore, I will never participate in any effort to reimage Alabama's drum major role in perpetuating ongoing "cradle to the grave" racial discrimination against its Black citizens.

With Iran’s recent victory in the Trump-Iran war, world leaders now see Israel as a perpetual menace to world peace. Israel has no friends in the league of nations. Ordinary Americans are sick and tired of Israel and its steady stream of diplomatic headaches. Israel’s dirty tricks and corrupt ways have eroded the fiber of American politics, decency, and life. America gets nothing out of its toxic relationship with Israel other than endless headaches, grief, grifting, and int

Iran’s military leadership is highly skilled in the art of war. America’s Pentagon brass is highly skilled in the art of pleasing Trump and his erratic impulses as a third-generation military draft-dodger. In war, the most committed adversary always wins. By definition, a "draft-dodger" like Trump can never be the “most committed adversary.” That’s an oxymoron. In the final analysis, Donald Trump’s ignorance about the art of war and Pete Hegseth’s alcoholism were Iran’s best

Daniel Joseph Thompson and I were the only two Blacks who passed the Alabama Bar exams in September 1973. Dan died in 2025. This is the story of his amazing life and career.

The family of Norman William Walton, Jr., and Jimmie Pearl Thomas Walton is iconic. This family showed courage went it counted, rendered valuable community service when it mattered, and promoted educational excellence at home and at work. Norman and Jimmy Walton were also staunch supporters of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s. Above all, the Walton family has been extremely close to the Watkins family for more than seven decades

Donald V. Watkins expresses a personal "thank you" to Rev. Jesse Jackson for all that he did for African Americans, women, Whites of interracial goodwill, and Watkins during his decades-long leadership tenure in the civil, economic, and political rights movements.

Black mayors in America should stop being weak-kneed punks. They should honor civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, who passed on February 17, 2026, by lowering the U.S. flag on city property to half-mast until Jackson is buried. They have the power to do so. Use it.

Since Bitcoin's creation in 2009, the total number of collapsed crypto ventures/projects is in the millions. Reliable estimates put the number of failed coins/projects at 13-14 million since 2021 alone, plus tens of thousands earlier. The vast majority of these failed crypto coins/projects were low-effort or speculative coins that launched and died quickly, especially in the 2024–2025 boom-and-bust cycle. Today, the cryptocurrency space remains highly experimental and very

This article takes readers to the darkest side of Jeffrey Epstein's child sex party scene. This is where snuff films and cannibalism ruled the day. Children were killed as part of fetish sex scenes and nobody cared. Some of the kids were cannibalized after they were murdered. The Department of Justice has never properly investigated these crimes. Instead, DOJ is actively covering them up on direct orders from President Donald Trump, whom DOJ named as an Epstein co-conspira

Last week, Donald Trump established himself as the best-known unreformed and unrepentant racist in America with his depiction of former First Lady Michelle Obama as an ape and former President Barack Obama as a monkey in a video he posted to his Truth Social account. Trump presents a clear and present danger to all Black Americans. He must be forced to resign from the Presidency ASAP.

Under the direction of President Donald Trump, the U.S. Department of Justice is leading on ongoing coverup of Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking crimes and his 2019 murder. This is the biggest government coverup since Watergate.

Today, the fight against pedophilia requires new approaches and tools to combat the evils of child molestation, child rape, and child pornography. Imposition of the death sentence in child rape cases is one of these approaches. The administration of private justice may also be appropriate in those rare circumstances where the federal and state public systems of justice are corrupted beyond repair. Private justice may be better for society than a complete failure of justice in

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. President Donald Trump wants to free these child pornographers because they are ex-lawmen. He does not care that these men confessed to their horrendous crimes.

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.

From 1985 to 1998, I battled scores of good litigators while representing the City of Birmingham and Mayor Richard Arrington, Jr. The best one, by far, is Clyde E. Jones. This article tells the amazing story of my fierce courtroom battle against this master litigator.

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

This team of exceptionally talented lawyers and paralegals devised and perfected the art of laser litigation. This litigation technique was deplored in cases where losing was not an acceptable option. Meet the lawyers who birth laser litigation and turned winning in the courtroom into an art form.

California-based In-N-Out Burger is the best fast-food restaurant in America. In 2016, In-N-Out Burger launched a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity called Slave 2 Nothing Foundation to free people from being enslaved to any person or substance. This month, the Foundation is highlighting its fight to end human trafficking. I support this fight.
