Three U.S Army soldiers, Dwayne Campell, Llewellyn Stamoulis and Romaine May were arrested with having more than 680 pounds of marijuana and $10,000 in cash during a traffic stop in Phoenix, AZ.

The soldiers have been charged with drug transportation, money laundering and conspiracy.

I’m sure they will also face some reprimand from the Army as well.

Jackson: ‘You Can’t Vote Against Health Care and Call Yourself a Black Man’

November 20th, 2009

During a reception held in Washington D.C to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his presidential campaign, Jesse Jackson told members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) that an African-American legislator who voted against the health care bill in Congress is doing a disservice to their race.

“We even have blacks voting against the health care bill from Alabama, you can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man,” said Jackson referring to Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL.) the lone dissenting vote from the CBC.

Davis, who is running for governor in Alabama, said he voted against the measure because he believes there are better alternatives than the bill passed by the House of Representatives earlier in November.

Alabama is also a conservative state and voting for heath care could be viewed as a political liability.

Jackson has attempted to calm down his criticism.

“I offer no challenge to his integrity as a leader,” Jackson said in a written statement. “Representatives should all vote their conscience in the interest of their constituency.”

What do you think, did Jackson go to far with his criticism?

Police claim that Shaniya’s mother, Antoinette Davis, sold her daughter to McNeill for sex. Davis originally claimed her child was kidnapped by another individual but her story fell apart as police continued investigating.

By the way, law enforcement officials confirmed that Davis is currently pregnant.
