So for some time now, Donald Trump Jr. has been trolling the youngest female member of U.S Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Just like his dad and other vicious Republicans, they continually ensure they never run out of insults for the Democrats. Dude went as low as trolling Ocasio with a meme that implied she eats dogs. Really? How pathetic are you? Once in a while, these name callings get to the Democrats and they too retaliate….

“There is no little irony in the fact that the man who was seen as the answer to populism has provoked the most high-profile demonstration of the populist rage Europe has yet seen,” writes Larry Elliott, economics editor of The Guardian 40-year-old Emmanuel Macron is the first president of France with no direct memory of what happened on the streets of Paris in May of 1968. And just like in 1968, some of the protesters…

How badly do you want what you want? I talk a lot about identity. I am so particular about it because I think it is important. Sometimes, you find out that it is easier to fantasize and daydream about being someone or something else. It is easier not being YOU. Why is it easier? Because then you do not have to deal with the shit and all the baggage that comes with being you. Things…

What possible reasons do scientists have to lie about climate change? A new US government report says man-made climate change is already wreaking havoc on the country. The report which was vetted by 13 federal agencies warns of more destructive western wildfires, longer heatwaves in the southeast and more powerful Atlantic hurricanes. The report also says climate change could shrink the US economy by hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century….

“June.” “That’s my name.” “I never got the chance to tell you that.”   Often times people argue that it is more important to be useful than to be known. I personally think it’s a silly argument. How can one be useful if you are not known? Let me try to explain… The Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, who came to the earth, died for our sins and set us free…

Women tearing each other down. If only they knew where true power lies… The truth is, the more secure you are, the less time you spend trying to pull someone else down. I have something you want? You either get in line, go for it or shut the fuck up! I am not your competition bitch! You scum of the earth. The woman who spends all her energy trying to pull down the other’s ambition,…

An attempt more deliberate than coincidental, this would have been a Trump’less week for me. Oh does he always give us something to talk about or not! According to the 2018 exit polls, roughly 1 in 4 voters were of the opinion that immigration was the most important issue facing the country. 75% of this group voted for the Republicans in the House while 23% voted for the Democrats. Needless to say, Trump’s political ploy…

I had the privilege of meeting with one of the authors whom I had read at 19. I had emailed sort of my review of his book to him before he insisted on seeing me in person. “How old are you?” he screamed the moment he saw me. “Are you sure you are the one I have been emailing?” I was too embarrassed to answer any of his questions, while other people around looked at…

I don’t trust you… Most recently, I don’t think there’s anything that gets me exasperated like white folk who overplay their ‘not racist’ card. I follow one of them on Facebook. Why do I follow her? I once saw a post she did about her kids on my newsfeed; it was a lovely read. But ever since, I have had to go through her almost embarrassing rants. Every single white person internally thinks he is…

The owner of the house I currently live in employed the services of this Gateman to tend the Gate. His job would be to open and close the gate as people move in and out of the building. Often times, he assists the occupants of the building, I included, to wash their cars, take care of their generators and run little errands. We give him little cash afterward. I have lived in this particular apartment…
