On February 25th, the White House confirmed that President Joe Biden is nominating Ketanji Brown Jackson  to the U.S. Supreme Court. Jackson, who currently serves as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and who the White House described as an "exceptionally qualified" nominee is poised to become the first Black woman to serve on the nation's highest court. Though Black women are underrepresented as judges in the nation's court system, Jackson's nomination marks the lastest milestone in the history of Black women lawyers that date back 150 years. For many, civil rights was a major motivation for practicing law. With this in mind, TIME asked historians what women paved the way for this moment? "For too long our government and our courts haven't looked like America," Biden said while introducing Jackson on Friday. "I believe it's time we have a court that reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation, with a nominee of extraordinary qualifications."

But can Delroy's killer be forced out of hiding, before Kevin b

Thomas Jefferson once said that "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." On February 24th, Russia attacked Ukraine. Shock rang throughout the Western world as we have watched the war escalate. Along with the war, numerous theories, stories, videos, and reactions spread like wildfire. Truth, fact, and fiction mixed together to send tongues wagging. The US and other countries responded by placing crushing sanctions on Russia, meant to deter and encourage peaceful resolution to the attack. It didn't. Some thought the war would be over in a weekend... but no one suspected the tenacity of the Ukrainian people or its leader, President Zelensky who fight the superpower. But along with this, has the ugly side of humanity shown its face -- journalistic biases, prejudice in the midst of warfare, and the most disturbing, the shadow of nuclear war, once attributed to a bygone era, now lingers on the horizon. We watch as the complexities of geopoli

The phone call between Biden and China's Xi lasted about two hours and was "direct" and "substantive." The conversation was direct and detailed. The two leaders spent the preponderance of their time discussing Russia's unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine, as well as the implications of the crisis for US-China relations and the international order.  The war also has thrown the space industry into turmoil. One of the astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, has said that despite continued cooperation at the International Space Station, the war in Ukraine has thrown the space industry into turmoil. Western satellites were meant to go up on Russian rockets, are now stranded. America has been trying to persuade Russia to extend the life of the station project until 2030, currently scheduled to end in 2024.

Is Dad a Bad Word? You have heard it said, “boys will be boys.” But in this book, “Boys Will Be Men”, Christopher J. Weeks offers an up-close and personal view of how boys can and must become men, and eventually fathers. Sharing stories from his intimate experience with his own father, this book persuasively argues for the desperate need we all have for good dads. Topics include... Seeing life's difficult challenges as the road to manhood. How a real woman can tame a man. Why words from a father really matter. The importance of Laughing, Singing, and finding Delight in your kids. Perhaps the reason God the Father is not trusted in our culture is because we are bombarded with so many bad examples of human fathers. But in this book, you will get glimpses of how a good dad reflects the love and beauty of the Father who lives in heaven. Something society needs to witness more than ever. Listen in as I chat with Christopher J. Weeks about his newest release on Tuesday, March 15th at 7 pm Eastern t

Dear readers, If you're reading this, then my message has reached you. The era from which my story occurs is far or near yours. Christianity has successfully influenced over much of my world. However, our utopia is under siege by an atheist guerrilla group called the Open Eyes.

Most people lie everyday without realizing it or thinking much of it. That coworker of yours that greets you with a smile everyday? Imagine that her husband is abusing her and it's all she can do to hang on. Yet, every morning when you ask how she is, she says she's doing great because that's the answer she's expected to give. Most people can't be bothered enough to care, so it's easier to pretend everything is okay. Some people lie a lot and pretend to be someone they're not. They don't want to be completely open about some things. So they want to keep private thoughts and struggles to themselves.

American gun owners are still not getting the message that guns and children do not mix.In the last week, at least four children were injured by finding loaded guns - guns which legally should never have been left lying around where children were able to get them. Police in Utah where a 9 year-old was shot in the head after finding a grandparent's weapon reinforced that all guns in a home should be unloaded in a safe, and that guns and ammo must be stored separately. If you don't have a safe then you can get what's called a trigger lock that you buy when you buy the gun, they are cheap. Or most police departments, you can go to and get those trigger locks. they give them away for free.  One day a 5 year-old child was shot in the chest by a gun that was found unsecured under a bed inside a Detroit home, police said. Every day in America, kids get their hands on lethal weapons with disastrous consequences. This young man said he was going to watch cartoons. Instead, he opened his dad's gun safe. He reached u

When Salem Shaw locked eyes with Natalia McClinton roughly four years ago, he just knew that he had to have her as his wife. He’d picked wrong in his first marriage, but figured he’d learned, and that the second time would be the charm. No matter how hard Natalia McClinton tried to keep Salem Shaw at an arm’s reach, she still managed to fall hard for him. So hard that she opened her mangled heart up to him, and allowed him to change her last name. What could go wrong with a love that was worth the wait? Fast forward to the present day, and needless to say, the ink has officially dried on their marriage license, the googly eyes have subsided, and the Shaws are in the thick of what it truly means to walk out the vows that they recited to one another. When both Salem and Natalia are tempted to return to skeletons in their pasts, will they forfeit the love that they’ve grown accustomed to, or will they realize that they have something worth fighting for? Join me for our Valentine's Day nod as I chat wit

Life insurance can make a huge difference for you and your family, not just financially but emotionally, too. Purchasing a policy sooner, rather than later, will give you more options and flexibility as well as the financial security you'll need in the future. Life insurance is an agreement between you and your insurance company. You make regular payments, called premiums, and insurance company pays your beneficiaries a tax-free lump sum of money when you die. With some policies, you get additionalbenefits to use during your lifetime like accessing the policy's cash value, which can be used for a down payment on a home. However, accessing the cash value will reduce the policy's available cash surrender value and death benefit. You can accelerate death benefits and us them for health care needs. Get peace of mind for what matters most by discovering the different ways life insurance can help provide protection for you and your loved ones.

It's pretty hard to deny that being in love feels good. But did you know being in love is also good for you? It turns out that falling head over heels has quite a few tangible health benefits. Studies indicate that love impacts our mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing in unexpectated ways, and might even help us live longer. It's no surprise that having the support of someone who loves you makes it easier to cope with stressful situations. But it turns out that love itself can reduce stress on a chemical level. As you move out of the honeymoon phase with your partner, oxytocin, the bonding hormone, starts to settle in. This hormone which gives you the "warm and fuzzies" when you're cuddling, is a powerful stress reliever. Feeling loved can make you less anxious, but the effect is much stronger in stable, long-term relationships than it is in new romances. We're told that being in a loving relationship can heal us from within, but  did you know that it has the power to help us heal on the outside too?

Review last year and reflect on it before beginning your new year; make a New Year's resolution-don't wait until midnight on New Year's Eve to think of it. Create new Habits. Did you know that your daily habits will either make or break the new year for you? From the moment you wake up until you fall asleep you're running on routine and habit. That's why 2022 will not be successful without creating new habits and making them stick. Choose one new successful habit that you can start. The easiest point of the day to add a habit are right when you wake up, before/after you eat or right before you brush your teeth for bed. Some things you can do: regular exercises; taking time off to relax; meal planning; and booking your yearly physical, eye, and dental appointments    

Some of the most precious things in life are born from struggle.Nature constantly reminds us that sometimes it takes a breakdown to have a major breakthrough. While there is tremendous pain, suffering and uncertainty all around us, there also is an opportunity for change. Because when things go wrong, there is also a greater opportunity to turn things around for the better. Our difficult seasons can also be a chance for us to change direcctions and let go of what no longer serves us.  Cancer for instance, taught me that we can't always prevent a troubling event from happening, but we can ALWAYS control how we respond. While I would never have chosen the most painful parts of my journey, I am grateful for all my pain has taught me about myself. Trauma transforms us into different versions of ourselves.. Whether these changes are for better or worse is largely up to the choices we make. Look for the silver lining in the situation; get your feelings on paper; shift from anger to forgiveness, and give and get
