Rev. Al Sharpton’s half-brother pleaded guilty to tax evasion, mail fraud, and drug conspiracy charges on Friday.
Kenneth Glasgow, an Alabama pastor, voting rights activist and
half-brother to the famous Black pastor and MSNBC host, entered a guilty
plea in Montgomery, Alabama federal court Friday, the Associated Press
recently reported.
Glasgow’s plea deal allowed the pastor to avoid a trial for his
charges that would’ve been held in March. The pastor will be sentenced
at a later date.
In addition to his ministry, Glasgow founded “The Ordinary People
Society.” The non-profit’s website describes it as a “faith-based
organization that offers hope, without regard to race sex, creed, color
or social status, to individuals and their families who suffer the
effects of drug addiction, incarceration, homelessness, unemployment,
hunger and illness.”
He also founded the “Prodigal Child Project,” another non-profit that
openphilanthropy.org says “organizes pastors in the southern U.S. in
support of prisoners, former prisoners, their families, and
communities.”
AP stated that Glasgow claimed “Social Security disability benefits
by falsely claiming on mailed forms that he had trouble driving.”
However, prosecutors noted that the minister received several traffic
citations between 2015 and 2020 providing evidence that he had been
driving.
In addition to fraud, Sharpton’s half-brother pleaded
guilty to a drug conspiracy charge. He was recently found in possession
of cocaine he was intent on distributing. Glasgow had also been charged
with a drug conspiracy charge in 2021 along with an accomplice.
Refusing to pay taxes must run in the family.
In 2014 it was reported Al Sharpton owed $4.7 million in state and federal back taxes.
I am working my ass off to get what I have.... YOU can do the same...so stop b!tching and playing like you're a victim.
If you do NOT know me PERSONALLY....stop blaming me.
YOUR life is the way it is because YOU make your own life.
The race card gets thrown into everything now.
You hated it for years that you weren't treated fairly but now YOU ARE HATING ALL WHITE PEOPLE.
So sad... because I have always loved everyone and treated them the way they treat me. Well I will continue to do exactly that (still).
Soooooo.........
It was always PROPER to only say things that would NEVER hurt feelings. That time is long gone and the words are flying at stores, gas stations, from neighbors etc.
The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has issued a
statement about mysterious white dust that snowed down in the Eastern
Panhandle of the state, as well as parts of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
Maryland.
The agency said that while they still do not know what it is, they are not issuing a shelter in place advisory.
Hundreds of people took to social media on Thursday night to post
photos and videos of the dust in the air and covering their vehicles.
“West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) is
working with state and local agencies to investigate large amounts of
dust across multiple counties in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle,” the
agency said in a statement.
“The WVDEP received reports late Thursday night about the dust and
mobilized inspectors to the area to collect samples and identify
potential sources. No obvious sources have been identified at this
time,” the agency continued.
The agency continued, “no shelter in place advisories have been issued for this area.”
“We have staff on site who are coordinating with our state and local
partners to identify the material and any potential causes,” said WVDEP
Division of Air Quality Director Laura Crowder.
The WVDEP said that they are working with the Berkeley County Office
of Emergency Services and the state Department of Agriculture to collect
additional samples and have them analyzed.
“Samples will also be taken to the West Virginia Geological and
Economic Survey in Morgantown to determine if the cause of the dust is
related to recent dust storms in the Midwest,” the statement continued.
“The West Virginia Department of Agriculture, West Virginia Division of
Emergency Management Division (WVEMD) and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s
Office are also investigating the situation.”
A Facebook page that tracks emergencies in the Panhandle, Eastern Panhandle Working Fires, was early to post about the dust.
“Call 911!! Per The WV Dept of Environmental Protection, they have
requested that anybody experiencing these issues call 911 immediately
and have their local fire department respond. They also advise to shut
doors and windows and avoid outdoors at this time as a common sense
approach until it can be identified,” a post on the page read.
Dozens of people posted photos and videos in the comments.
In a later post, the page stated, “EPWF is an informational venue.
While we may not agree with the DEPs assessment to call 911 to have
local FDs respond; it is, in fact, the requested action by the governing
agency responsible. We are just passing that information on. If you
believe WV DEP response was inadequate or overkill, please contact them
directly.”
Jefferson County, WV Homeland Security, and Emergency Management
posted that “our office has been following the reports of the dust seen
throughout the Eastern Panhandle of WV. The attached post from one of
the meteorologists connected with a TV station in WV seems to be able to
provide some knowledgeable insight into the observations. We will be
following up with further information from the State as it becomes
available.”
They pointed to another local meteorologist, Spencer Adkins, who
wrote, “clearly ‘stuff in the air’ is a concern anywhere in the entire
region after East Palestine but satellite scientists pointed the dust
plume out early Thursday because it was pretty evident. Think how we
often see smoke from fires even farther west in summer.”
Dozens of people in the area posted photos and videos of the dust
raining down from the sky like snow, despite it being warm outside.
Some people in the Panhandle reported seeing a small plane before the
dust, others speculated it was pine pollen, and some insisted it was a
dust storm from New Mexico.
Local meteorologist Justin Berk posted, “WHAT IS FALLING FROM THE
CLEAR SKY? I’ve just been informed from West Virginia to Carroll County
MD there seems to be White ASH falling and coating. Michael Triplett
sent me a pic of the ‘stuff’ on his truck in Westminster. If you have
any additional pics/videos, please share and let us know where. The WV
Dept of Environmental Protection has been asking for this as well. I
want to help figure this out with you.”
The Hampshire County 911 Center posted “We are aware of recent
reports of an unknown dust-like substance accumulating on cars and
surfaces outside. This is reportedly occurring across the tri-state
region. We are aware of some other social media sites that have advised
you to contact 911 if you witness this situation. Although you are more
than welcome to contact our 911 center, we ask you to use the
non-emergency number for this. (304-822-6000). Be prepared to give your
name, address and contact information, so that we may log the
information for environmental agencies if needed.”
“If you are experiencing this heavy dust substance at your residence,
per the office of emergency management, remain inside and turn off any
devices that introduce outside air into your residence,” the post
continued. “Responders will not be responding for sightings of this
substance, unless a medical emergency or another type of emergency is
present.”
Some of the people who went outside reported that their throat was burning and that their skin was itchy.
Similar dust fell in Connecticut last week — and it reportedly smelled like chlorine.
“Some have speculated that it could be chemicals from the train
derailment in Ohio earlier this month. NBC Connecticut meteorologists
aren’t sure that could be the case since the fire and chemical release
from that derailment happened two weeks ago,” NBC Connecticut reported.
“NBC Connecticut Chief Meteorologist says it’s possible the residue
is from dust kicked up from a dust storm in the Plains a few days ago. He says he smelled a chlorine-like odor in West Hartford Friday morning, but he doesn’t have an explanation for that.”

Ethan
Hooper, a middle school teacher in Ocala, Florida, posted the videos to
his personal social media which went viral after being shared by the
popular right-wing account Libs of TikTok.
One of the videos Hooper posted showed White students acting like servants to Black students in the class in honor of Black History Month. White students were shown in the video fanning and feeding Black students.
"It was in good fun. There was no political agenda behind it," the teacher said. He said the video was being "maliciously used."
"I
am deeply apologetic toward the students and parents of those involved.
I am also sorry to the students who weren’t involved," Hooper said. "I
want to be an example for them. If this does not match up with what they
viewed [of me], I am truly sorry. My heart is for my students and the
parents, first and foremost."
The Orange County Public School District, said, "[We] will not tolerate the use of our children as political pawns by anyone, including a classroom teacher."
"Any employee who creates videos or other content with students in an effort to exploit them for political purposes
will be immediately removed from the classroom, placed on
administrative leave, and swift action will be taken to terminate
employment."

Some students and parents spoke out in favor of Hooper, saying that they wanted to participate in the video.
"We all agreed to it," said a student in Hooper's class. "He didn’t really do anything wrong."
"The
fact that the students really devised the content specifically means
that it’s something that matters to them. And to say that they were used
as pawns is false," a mom in the district said, according to WESH.
She
continued, "The other example my daughter showed me was for Black
History Month. They put some Black students on the chairs, and then the
White students were fanning them and making them comfortable. You know,
it’s awesome, it’s beautiful, it’s celebratory, and I loved it."
"I am appalled at the behavior and judgment of the teacher who posted the inappropriate videos," Superintendent
Maria Vazquez said in a statement. "This is not free speech — it is the
exploitation of our students for political purposes, and it will not be
tolerated in our school district."

News is news... We do our own research and know what to believe but we want the darn story.
Goodbye .... we don't need you. And we put you where we put ABC...NBC....CBS....CNN.
We would keep an open mind and listen to ALL the stations like we have for many years but now it is ONLY THEIR OPINION that will be told or shown. So Sad.
