Mr. Lysol Can Man, It's NOT a Conspiracy; Let's Talk Coronavirus

By now, many people have seen a viral video of a man holding a can of Lysol, while he's heard poo-pooin' the ' hype ' over the ' new, ' potentially deadly coronavirus.     He's surprised that the can of Lysol lists ' Human Coronavirus'   among its virus killing properties, and he's not buying the media frenzy. 😐   He says, " Don't believe the hype and don't be distracted about this "virus that was created in China and is coming to America ."   The skepticism is understandable, and the  revelation was very surprising to lots of folks.   But, here's the 4-1-1 ... it  is  ' new '-- as in a new  strain  of a decades old virus, and it's spreading at a rapid rate.   The  latest  strain -- classified as  2019 novel coronavirus or 2019-nCoV ,  has triggered a recent global health emergency warning from the World Health Organization .

[AUDIO] Alison Morris In Her Own Words ... But ... ALOT ... S L O W E R

G etting directly to the point: This chile'   Alison Morris , news host on MSNBC did   N O T utter the n*word in her coverage of the tragic death of beloved NBA legend Kobe Bryant .   Alison Morris But, for the past several days this chile' has been lied on, talked about, maligned and misquoted since uttering what SOME thought was a racial slur during breaking news coverage of the tragic helicopter crash that claimed Kobe's life, along with his 13-year old daughter and 7 others. There are several petitions calling for her to be fired.  There are other petitions completely mischaracterizing her reporting altogether. One petition actually accuses her of calling Kobe himself the n-word.   😧 Be still my beating heart!     That didn't happen ya'll.  Some are presuming to know her thoughts, her heart, her head; some claiming that she   was subconsciously thinking n*word , and that perhaps it just ' slipped ' out of her mouth. Now, one thing

The U.S. is One of the Worst Countries in the World for Human Trafficking

(Wikimedia Commons) Everyday ... sometimes more than once a day, I remind my beautiful nieces and other family and friends to always be aware of their surroundings.  Everyday ... sometimes more than once a day, I receive warnings and horror stories about attempted abductions of young girls and young woman.  One day ... within the past year, even I found myself being watched and followed while getting into my car and pulling out of a parking lot ... but,  because I was paying attention, I was able to make it to safety.   Here are some sobering facts:   "85% of victims that are trafficked in the United States are from here."   ~ Brook Bello, founder of More Too Life from a Fox News report     "The face and ages of the victims is tragic."  ~   Dr. Robert Sanborn, President & CEO of child advocacy organization Children at Risk "Trafficking has moved from the street to the smartphone & sadly it's just about as e

Teenage Fashionista Turning Heads!

Zeydana (Instagram) I was perusing the Internet recently when I stumbled across a young J-lo look-a-like  rocking an uber-chic men's inspired suit and killer fedora. The headline read , "Are You Feeling Zendaya’s Menswear-Inspired Suit?"   My answer was a resounding, 'YES!! But, who's Zendaya ??"  Well, I quickly found out!   Actress/singer Zendaya Coleman (HelloBeautiful.com) Several Google searches later, I discovered the the pretty multi-racial, teen-aged actress-singer-dancer Zendaya Coleman-- simply known as Zeydana --first hit the scene at age 13 in the Disney comedy 'Shake It Up'.    Well, whoo knew?   I no longer have 'Disney TV-aged chil'ren at home, but if I did, surely I'd have been in the known about ... Zeydana!   SURELY! " It seems, over the past year or so she has been turning heads in a big way with  her impeccable style sense.  Now, at age the 17-year old 'triple threat' has fas

Pharrell said he's the 'New Black' ... and then ...

Pharrell Williams (Twitter) It seems super producer-writer-singer and ' Happy ' man Pharrell Williams has angered some folks ( again ).  This time controversy centers around comments about race during a recent interview with Oprah on OWN. While ( again ) addressing the criticism from those who say he did not include an African American on his GIRL album cover ( he did by the way ), Pharrell defined himself as The New Black; quoting here, the portion of his statement that went viral:     "The New Black doesn't blame other races for our issues. The New Black dreams and realizes that it's not pigmentation: it's a mentality and it's either going to work for you or it's going to work against you.    And you've got to pick the side you'r e going to be on." And for those interested in the complete comment:   "The new black doesn’t blame other races for our issues. The new black dreams and realizes that it’s not a p
