Homeschooling: Why More Black Families Are Leaving Public Schools

"Why the Hell Not" Saturday News Segment 

Let's face it: The majority of the news we read about, or hear about, may or may not have an impact in our lives.  We can either learn from it, or not.  Whichever decision you choose to make, it is your decision to make it work for you, or not.  With that said, the following article headlines just may help you in some kind of way in your life.  

I like to think that whatever I put onto this blog will help you, the readers, in some form of fashion.  What may work for you, may not work for someone else.  And what may work for someone else, may not work for you.  


It has been my many years of experience living in South Carolina that most folks do not like to share information with others to help them improve themselves, and/or their families.  Unless you attend the same place of worship, or you're an associated member of an [or any] organization, or a family member, friend, neighbor, or simply in a 'clique' (i.e., fraternity, sorority, lodge, etc.), the chances of anyone else learning about something is nil!

Jesus the Christ spread his words for all to hear and use to improve their quality of life, and not to oppress anyone from using his words!

Too often, we second guess ourselves whenever we are deciding about something, or someone.  Should we, or shouldn't we.  You know what I mean . . . the usual "Could of, Would of, Should of" syndrome.  

But in the end, most of us who don't mind sharing invaluable information to others, so that they, too, can benefit from it, just say "Why the Hell Not?!?"  

It's time to 'Break the Pavement of Enslavement' mentality in the 21st Century!


Enjoy your Saturday, and the entire weekend!

Oklahoma father, two children among 5 killed in weekend storms

A father and two children in a trailer, plus two other people who were in a car in the same Oklahoma town, were killed when a string of tornadoes tore through parts of the Midwest on Saturday and early Sunday.

Those fatalities in Woodward are the only ones known to have resulted from this weekend's storms. But millions of people were bracing for even more severe weather late Sunday afternoon and night.

The states in the "bull's-eye" for the most dangerous conditions will likely be Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, according to the Storm Prediction Center. Bigger cities such as Green Bay, Chicago, St. Louis, Little Rock and Houston could see isolated tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds.

Bill Cosby 'disappointed' in critical Obama supporters

Entertainer Bill Cosby defended President Obama on Sunday, saying that his critics do not acknowledge the obstacles he has faced in office.

“I'm disappointed at people who don't look at the woes and the trouble given to this man,” Cosby told CNN’s Candy Crowley, referring to allies on the left who have complained about the administration.

“People blatantly speaking out against his color, wasting time, starting up new stories about whether or not he was born here, saying things that they can't prove.”

The actor and comedian said he feels sometimes that opponents want to make Obama’s job like “the one that Sisyphus had.”

"When you see that he made promises and said things and the people who were supposed to be working with him didn't. The people who were supposed to be working, even for another party, didn't care about the American people," he said. "They wanted to get him."

A four-month-long investigation into illegal pornography and illegal sexual acts with minors ended Saturday with the arrest of four people by Surfside Beach police.

Tim Yaccarino, 58, and Pam Yaccarino, 42, both of Surfside Beach, and Jessica Grounds, 22, of Conway, and Amber Martin, 21, of Myrtle Beach, were all apprehended in the sting. All were charged with first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Tim Yaccarino was also charged with conspiracy to commit lewd act upon a child and harboring a runaway. Pam Yaccarino and Martin were also charged with lewd act upon a child.

Surfside Beach Police Chief Mike Frederick said Saturday night that Tim Yaccarino was the “primary target” in the investigation. He came to the department’s attention late last year after being arrested in a previous case involving a runaway juvenile. As a result of that case, the department began watching Yaccarino and building a larger case against him.
