Dr. Phil McGraw Endorses Trump At NYC Rally

While other speakers at the rally veered into far right and fascist talking points, Phil McGraw focused on what he perceived to be cancel culture


At a rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Oct. 27, television personality Dr. Phil’s endorsement of former president Donald Trump was arguably the most tame speech of the evening.

While other speakers at the rally veered into far-right and fascist talking points, Phil McGraw focused on what he perceived to be cancel culture.

According to Deadline, although McGraw previously declined to endorse Trump in an interview he conducted earlier in 2024, he did signal his support for Trump’s unfounded claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from him.

At the rally, however, McGraw abandoned this stance and said he was at the rally to “stand up for Donald J. Trump” before adding, “Lord knows, he doesn’t need me to stand up for him. He’s tough as an old army boot. He’s got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared, and between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him, and sued him. And where is he? He is still standing.”

McGraw indicated during his remarks that he believes Trump supporters are victims of so-called cancel culture, saying Trump’s supporters are “canceled, intimidated, marginalized, excluded or even fired or boycotted.”

McGraw continued his defense of Trump supporters, remarking that “When you attack a citizen, and you use the power of the Internet, you use mob mentality, you incite people to gang up and cause boycotts, then it is beyond ugly. And that is what is happening in this country right now, and that is not OK.”

“There is an imbalance of power there, and it is time that every one of us close ranks. We have to stop this now,” McGraw said. “It’s time that we push back against cancel culture. It’s time that we push back against intimidation tactics.”

According to The Associated Press, other speakers at the rally called Puerto Rico a “floating pile of garbage,” called Vice President Kamala Harris “the devil,” and insinuated that she had slept her way to the top and essentially called for the elimination of Palestinians.

Trump himself repeated his claims that he will end the alleged “migrant invasion” if he is elected.

In addition to his comment about Puerto Rico, comedian and far-right podcast host, Tony Hinchcliffe, attacked Latinx Americans, Black Americans, and Jewish Americans, all groups Trump has been criticized for offending at various points during his presidential campaign.

Rep. Ritchie Torres, a Puerto Rican and a House Democrat representing New York made a statement on his personal Twitter account decrying Hinchcliffe’s comments.

“As a Puerto Rican, I am tempted to call Hinchcliffe racist garbage but doing so would be an insult to garbage,” Torres wrote. “When casting their ballots at the voting booth, Latinos should never forget the racism that Donald Trump seems all too willing to platform.”

According to CNN, the remarks also led Puerto Rican global superstar Bad Bunny to lend support to Vice President Kamala Harris. According to his team, it is not a formal endorsement of Harris.

In the video Bad Bunny shared on his Instagram account, which reached at least 45 million people who follow him, there is an emphasis placed on Harris’ criticism of Trump’s handling of Hurricane Maria in 2017.

“I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and a competent leader,” Vice President Harris says in the video, which Bad Bunny reshared multiple times. “He abandoned the island, tried to block aid after back-to-back devastating hurricanes, and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults.”

According to The New York Times, Trump’s rally was a “carnival of grievances, misogyny and racism.”

According to NPR, Fox News host Tucker Carlson alluded in his remarks to the great replacement conspiracy theory that underpinned the violent unrest provoked by Nazis in 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia, which Trump infamously characterized as having “very fine people” on both sides.

“People know in a country that has been taken over by a leadership class that actually despises them and their values and their history and their culture and their customs, really hates them to the point that it’s trying to replace them,” Carlson said. “They know someone who actually has affection for them, and that’s Donald Trump. And it’s requited.”

Trump also continued using fascist talking points, attempting to clarify his “enemy from within” motif from the past few months.

“They’re smart, and they’re vicious, and we have to defeat them,” Trump said. “And when I say, ‘the enemy from within,’ the other side goes crazy. Becomes a sound – ‘oh, how can he say’ – no, they’ve done very bad things to this country. They are indeed the enemy from within.”

Sen. Raphael Warnock,Georgia

Sen. Raphael Warnock Brings Over $22M For Georgia Residents To Access Technology

The funding will expand digital literacy programs and communal access to technology.


Sen. Raphael Warnock has garnered over $22 million for his Device For Every American Act, ensuring that more Georgia residents can access technology.

Warnock announced the news on Oct. 25. The funding will reduce inequitable access to technological devices across the state. The bill, supported by fellow Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, will expand digital literacy programs and communal access to technology. Moreover, it should make internet costs more affordable for many households.

For both senators, closing the digital divide remains a priority for all to evolve in this digital age. Warnock released a statement on the matter, stating that the federal funding will significantly help eliminate this equity issue.

“I am proud to have secured provisions in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to make this federal funding possible and help close the digital divide for communities across Georgia–particularly in our rural and underserved communities that for too long have been left behind,” said Senator Reverend Warnock, in a news release on his website. “It is not enough to just put fiber cables in the ground. We need to make sure our communities have the devices, resources, training, and low costs that will allow Georgians to participate and thrive in our increasingly digital economy, and this multi-million dollar grant will do just that by creating digital literacy programs, expanding community access to computers and tablets, lowering costs to get connected, and more.”

The act is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It will help address the 4.4. million households across the country that do not have consistent access to a computer. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will distribute the grant while the state rolls out its digital equity plans.

Sen. Ossoff added, “Our historic bipartisan infrastructure law continues to deliver for Georgia, including historic Federal funding Senator Warnock and I have delivered to surge broadband connectivity across our state. Today’s announcement is another major next step toward ensuring every Georgia family, business, and farm has high-speed Internet.”

This initiative will also directly impact Black families. According to the findings revealed by McKinsey & Co., roughly 31% of Black Americans do not have a home computer — furthermore, 38% lack high-speed internet access as of 2023. Warnock’s ongoing commitment to digital and broadband expansion in rural areas and beyond seeks to help all get connected.

Tony Hinchcliffe, Donald Trump, comedian,

Comedian At Trump’s NYC Rally Used His Time To Launch Racist Remarks Against Latinos and Black People 

Just not cool....


Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made headlines when he hurled racist remarks about Latinos and Black people and labeled Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” during Donald Trump’s NYC rally, NBC News reports

The rally, held on Oct. 27 at Madison Square Garden, brought out thousands of supporters who wanted to hear the Republican presidential candidate speak, just under 10 days until Election Day. Hinchcliffe was one of dozens of celebrities scheduled to speak. However, his tone-deaf and racist remarks drew considerable backlash. He attacked the island of Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory, to test the audience.

“There’s a lot going on like. I don’t know if you guys know this, but there is literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah, I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” he said, met with an awkward response. 

“Okay, alright, we’re getting there. Again, normally, I don’t follow the national anthem.” 

Before that, he joked about the amount of Latino babies being born, claiming the demographic loves “making babies.” “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country,” Hinchcliffe said.

Known for his comedic roasting capabilities, Hinchcliffe turned his attention to Black people, pointing out a Black man in the crowd. The unidentified man had something on his head that the comedian called a “lampshade.” “Cool Black guy with the thing on his head. What the hell is that a lampshade? Look at this guy. Wow,” he said. 

“I’m just kidding. That’s one of my buddies. He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun. We carved watermelons together. It was awesome.” 

He wasn’t the only speaker who used their time at the podium to spout racist and hurtful remarks about the Democratic Party and Vice President Kamala Harris. David Rem, Trump’s childhood friend, called Harris the “Antichrist” while media host Tucker Carlson attacked Harris’ resume and miscategorized her racial identity.

“It’s going to be pretty tough for them. Say Kamala Harris got 85 million votes because she’s so impressive. She’s the first Samoan Malaysian low-IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president,” he said. 

Following Hinchcliffe’s comments, Harris received an influx of support from famous Puerto Ricans, including pop star Bad Bunny. Just minutes later, he endorsed the candidate by using a video of Harris calling Trump out for his response to Hurricane Maria in 2017. 

Some of the heaviest backlash came from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y), who, as a Puerto Rican, was offended by the remarks and chimed in while streaming on Twitch with Vice Presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. After identifying who the comedian was, she labeled his comments as “disappointing.” “I need people to understand that when you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico floating garbage, know that that’s what they think about you,” she said. 


According to ABC 6, Trump’s campaign didn’t think the joke was funny. Senior Adviser Danielle Alvarez said, “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott said the comedian “bombed,” while House Republican Maria Salazar said she was “disgusted” by Hinchcliffe’s comments.

Man Sentenced To 68 Years After Killing Child’s Mother And Grandmother In Washington D.C. Apartment 

35-year-old Keanan Turner of Clinton, Maryland, was sentenced after killing his baby's mother and grandmother and trying to kill his child


A Washington, D.C. jury found a man guilty of killing two people, a mother and daughter, on July 24. A Superior Court judge sentenced the killer to 68 years in prison on October 18.

The United States Attorney’s Office, District of Columbia, announced that a D.C. Superior Court jury found Keanan Turner guilty of two counts of first-degree murder while armed with aggravating circumstances, assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault while armed, attempted first-degree murder of a minor, second-degree cruelty to children, arson, and destruction of property earlier this summer. He was also found guilty of four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence and carrying a pistol without a license.

The 35-year-old Turner of Clinton, Maryland, was sentenced to 68 years in prison by Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan. Turner was convicted for the 2021 murders of Wanda Wright and Ebony Wright, as well as for the shooting of a third victim, the attempted murder of an infant, and setting fire to their apartment.

Prosecutors wanted a life sentence for the Maryland man without the possibility of parole. The government cited his complete lack of remorse, the planning of the murders, the fact that he killed both women at the same time, and the heinous nature of the crime, saying he killed two innocent women while attempting to kill his own infant child, who he left to burn to death. He took those actions to get out of paying child support.

During Turner’s trial, the government presented evidence showing that he was in a relationship with Ebony when she became pregnant with his child. He asked her to have an abortion, and she refused, so he stopped talking to her. When she gave birth to their child, she filed a custody and child support lawsuit against him. On April 12, 2021, Turner contacted Ebony Wright so he could see their child at her apartment. Ebony’s mother, Wanda, and another relative were there when he arrived.

While with them, he went to the bathroom, and when he returned, he had a gun and used it to shoot Ebony in the head while she was holding the son. He then shot her mother in the back of the head, then went into a back bedroom, and also shot the relative in the face. Before he left the apartment, Turner lit the custody papers and set the apartment on fire, trying to kill his son in the process. The relative escaped with the child and called 911.

‘The Warriors’ Actor David Harris Succumbs To Cancer

The man who played Cochise in the cult classic film dies at 75


The actor who played the character Cochise in the cult New York movie classic, The Warriors has passed away at the age of 75.

David Harris, whose most prominent and recognizable role was that of a gang member in The Warriors, died at his home in New York City. His daughter, Davina Harris informed The New York Times of his death. She told the media outlet that he passed away after battling cancer.

Harris was a New York City native who was born on June 18, 1949.

He had bit roles on several television shows throughout the years, including NYPD Blue, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and MacGyver. In 1980, he snagged a role in the Robert Redford-led movie, Bribaker. But, in the role of Cochise in the 1979 gang movie, he achieved his greatest fame, as the film became a cult classic.

https://twitter.com/NickMacGuffin/status/1850793621097783348?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

The movie, which came out on February 9, 1979, was set in a gritty New York City where Harris and his friends were part of a street gang named The Warriors. It was based on a book by the same name, written by Sol Yurick. The plot centers around The Warriors being framed for the murder of another gang leader in a city that has plenty of gangs throughout the boroughs in the urban city. Word gets out that the Warriors allegedly killed the gang leader and an all-city bounty to capture and kill the gang members brings out all the gangs in NYC to pursue justice for the crime. The group had to travel on the dangerous subway through multiple boroughs to make it home to Coney Island, a long way from the top of the Bronx where the Warriors were when the murder took place.

Harris is survived by his daughter, Davina; his mother, Maude Marie Harris; a sister, Jeannette C. Harris-Zwerin; brothers Arthur A. Harris and Vincent J. Harris; and two grandchildren.

Keith Lee Comes To The Rescue Of Struggling Georgia Restaurant In Latest Food Review

Lee travelled 100 miles south of Atlanta to purchase food from the struggling, family-owned eatery.


Keith Lee is helping out another family-owned restaurant with his latest food review. Lee traveled to Tacos Y Mariscos Ofelia in Warner Robins, Georgia, to give the small business publicity and advice.

Lee returned to the Peach State after a TikTok video of a family-owned eatery struggling to stay afloat went viral. In the video, the owners described the hard times they have recently experienced.

@keith_lee125 #stitch with @Tacosymariscosofelia Tacos Y Marisco Ofelia taste test 💕 would you try it ? 💕 #foodcritic ♬ original sound – Keith Lee

“We are having such a hard time staying open. We just reopened yesterday after being closed for two weeks, and hardly anyone has come. Please come by and help. We are a small Mexican restaurant that specializes in birria,” they shared to TikTok.

Seeing the video make waves on the social media app, Lee traveled to the area. He drove around 100 miles south of Atlanta to review the restaurant and provide some insight.

“The second me and my family saw this video, we booked a two-hour flight and drove two hours from the airport to try this food, to see, in our opinion, why is [business] slow,” shared Lee.

Lee described his experience grabbing food at the Mexican restaurant that claims to specialize in birria. He noticed that the entire family, including the teenage children, was helping with the operations there.

In his critique, Lee also shared that the restaurant’s location in a small Georgia town, marketing efforts, and younger family working there may contribute to its abysmal success thus far. Despite this, he rated most of the food as an “8 out of 10,” indicating that the meals are not the issue.

The charitable influencer also gifted the family money to cover their next three months of rent.

“We met the whole family and paid for the next three months of their rent. So, they don’t have to worry about staying open for now… and we left $900 to pay for anybody who comes in after us,” explained the content creator. “As always, after this, I pray and hope that they reach their target audience.”

With the additional funds, customers could dine at the restaurant free of charge, courtesy of Lee.

Bestow Jewelry Collection Partners With ‘SurviveHer’ To Spread Awareness For Breast Cancer

The two trailblazers launched this collaboration to shed light on a critical issue for Black women.


Black-owned jewelry brand Bestow Collection has announced its partnership with the SurviveHer non-profit organization to spread awareness on breast cancer.

Bestow Collection’s founder, Jen Hayes Lee, aims to help Black women disproportionately impacted by the disease to learn more about steps to take action. According to a press release obtained by BLACK ENTERPRISE, Hayes Lee met SurviveHer’s founder, Lyndsay Levingston, through the Support Your Girlfriends Community network. Now, the two trailblazers have launched this collaboration to shed light on a critical issue for Black women.

As Hayes Lee’s own mother died from breast cancer in 2003, this endeavor is a personal mission for the brand to empower this community. A long-standing advocate for awareness, Hayes Lee became a pre-vivor herself.

Undergoing a preventive double mastectomy, Hayes Lee promotes preventative care for those most vulnerable of diagnosis. According to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Black women are more susceptible to aggressive subtypes including triple-negative (TNBC) and inflammatory breast cancer. Moreover, the demographic remains more likely to be diagnosed at a younger age and later stage.

Through Bestow Collection, Hayes Lee will encourage customers to “sharing your gifts” while spreading awareness for breast cancer. Through its assortment of jewelry, the collection aims to help women showcase their beauty for a special cause.

Bestow Collection and Hayes Lee continues to encourage its customers to “rock their hoops” in solidarity with survivors and all impacted by the illness. This initiative also aligns with Hayes Lee’s The Golden Hoop project. The venture raised over $10k for free genetic testing to see if one carries genes that could develop breast cancer.

The collaboration hopes to continue the joint mission of empowering women through knowledge and advocacy. Bestow Collection and SurviveHer also intend to promote this initiative beyond Breast Cancer Awareness month. The entrepreneur’s efforts include a donation of 50% of net proceeds from sales using the exclusive discount code, 20SurviveHer, that go to the nonprofit organization.

UK, reparations

London’s Leaders Call For ‘Meaningful, Respectful’ Reparations Dialogue

In 2023, a UN judge declared the UK possibly owes over $18 trillion in reparations due to its role in slavery in 14 Caribbean countries.


Leaders in the United Kingdom have indicated their desire to have a respectful and meaningful conversation about reparations for the country’s role in the slave trade despite the UK’s insistence to keep the issue off the table during a two-day summit in Samoa.

According to the BBC, 56 heads of government, including UK’s Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer signed a letter calling for “discussions on reparatory justice” regarding Britain’s role in the “abhorrent” transatlantic slave trade. The letter also declared it was time for a “meaningful, truthful and respectful conversation.”

“The dominant theme of the two days has been resilience and climate,” Starmer told reporters in an Oct. 26 press conference. He also added that the section on reparations was a small part of the joint statement and only made up “one paragraph in 20-something paragraphs.”

Starmer continued, “None of the discussions have been about money. Our position is very, very clear in relation to that.”

Starmer’s comments follow those of UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who previously told the BBC that the country would not pay any reparations for slavery.

This, despite a United Nations judge’s ruling in 2023 that the UK possibly owes over $18 trillion in reparations due to its role in slavery in 14 Caribbean countries.

“(It) is very insulting (to) tell people of African descent to forget and move forward,” Labor Party lawmaker Bell Ribeiro-Addy said during a cross-party reparations conference in London, according to Reuters. “I’m very proud those nations refused to be silenced.”

Labor Party lawmaker Clive Lewis told Reuters that he was surprised at Starmer’s “colonial mindset” and seemed concerned by his attempts to “dictate what could and could not be discussed.”

According to The Associated Press, the legacy of slavery is interwoven among some of Britian’s most revered institutions, including the Church of England, multinational insurer Lloyd’s of London, and even the monarchy itself.

As Olivette Otele, professor of the legacies and memory of slavery at the School of African and Oriental Studies at the University of London, told the AP, “Britain benefited from transatlantic enslavement. The money and the money trail is there to prove it. So we need to have these conversations much more openly.”

In recent years, the idea of reparations has gained traction among British leaders, particularly after former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair expressed deep sorrow over Britain’s role in the slave trade in 2006.

In 2013, the Caribbean trade bloc CARICOM requested that European governments formally apologize for their roles in the slave trade and to create a repatriation program for people who want to return to their homelands, neither of which has occurred.

In 2021, King Charles III, then the Prince of Wales, spoke about reparations during a trip to Barbados, discussing the “appalling atrocity of slavery, which forever stains our history.” A year later, at a Commonwealth summit, he said that the discussion about reparations was a “conversation whose time has come.”

However, for some, a mere conversation is not enough to address the actual harms slavery created for those it affected.

Diane Abbott, Britain’s first Black woman lawmaker, told Reuters that she believes Starmer “seems to have forgotten that” his party, the Labor Party, promised to create a national reparations commission, before adding, “Reparations isn’t about the past, it is about the here and now.”

2 Arrested After Stolen Bronze Statue Of Tuskegee Airman Recovered

The statue was stolen from Detroit's Rogue Park.


A 600-pound statue of Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson was found on Oct. 25 after it was stolen from Detroit’s Rogue Park, the Detroit Police Department said.

According to The Associated Press, the bronze statue of Jefferson was sawed off at its ankles. Investigators for the department believe that it was stolen sometime between Oct. 23 and Oct. 24.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said officers determined the time of the theft by canvassing the neighborhood and pulling security footage.

“(Officers) found out the person who rented it was suspected of other robberies,” Duggan told reporters at a press conference. “They ran him down in real-time, caught him. He turned over the statue, confessed, and we made two arrests.”

According to the Detroit Free Press, authorities believe the statue was stolen and transported via a moving truck.

The city installed the life-sized statue of Jefferson near an area of the park where he often flew model planes before he died in June 2022. He was 100 years old.

Jefferson’s granddaughter, Ernestine Lavergne said in a statement on Oct. 24 that the theft saddened and disheartened her family.

“This statue has stood not just as a piece of art, but as a symbol of our community’s history, values, and collective memory. To many, it represents a cherished reminder of our shared past and the lessons we carry forward,” Lavergne said. “This act of theft goes beyond vandalism; it is a loss to everyone who found meaning, connection, and pride in that statue and the heroic actions of the Tuskegee Airmen.”

Jefferson was a member of the famed Red Tails group that flew during World War II. During one mission in 1944, he had his plane shot down and was captured as a prisoner of war. Thankfully, he would return to Detroit, where he became a teacher and helped create a Tuskegee Airmen chapter in Detroit.

His statue was unveiled in Detroit in June 2024. “Lt. Col. Jefferson was a hero in every sense of the word and so richly deserves this honor,” Duggan said then.
