A Statement from Wisconsin State Representative Samba Baldeh on the Shooting in Wisconsin. (Baldeh is the only Gambian-American state legislature.)

My heart is heavy today as our community mourns the senseless loss of lives in yet another school shooting. We should all be committed to working tirelessly to ensure the safety of our children, teachers, and families. This is not just a policy issue it’s about protecting the very fabric of our community.

I urge us all to come together during this difficult time to support the affected families and advocate for meaningful change. We owe it to our children to create a future where schools are places of learning and safety, not fear.

Rumors that President Patrice Talon is a descendant of slave merchants sparked much debate while he was running for office in 2016. Talon has never publicly addressed the rumors.

White has not been convicted and he was just reelected.

In today's America, does exposition at this time makes sense?

A New York judge upheld a jury’s verdict that made President-elect Trump a felon, ruling the conviction in the hush money case can withstand the Supreme Court’s new test for presidential immunity.

Judge Juan Merchan’s decision comes on the heels of Trump’s presidential election victory against Vice President Harris, when voters chose to catapult him back to the White House despite his years of legal peril.

Trayon White was arrested by the FBI in August and charged with one felony count of bribery, but he maintains his innocence.
