Once again I say this, a prophet isn’t honored in his own home, and the public admission of newly elected Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna admitting that deputy gangs have been around for decades defies this urban myth that they originated under former Los Angeles County Board Board of Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, whom may I add for context is facing fraud and corruption charges and viciously perpetuated by his successor Holly Mitchell that deputy gangs originated and consumed the daily operations of the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department under former Sheriff Alex Villanueva isn’t only slanderous but in essence is libel…

Where are the elders in the room? Twitter / @TinaMcKinnor1 Where is the moral and conscious and the wise of the Black political elected officials because there is a pandemic of ineffective, soulless politicians that exhibit leech like behavior in their quest for undeserved riches and visions of grandeur as a select group of politicians of color have mastered the game of musical chairs with a relentless and endless pursuit of pursuing and positioning themselves to be re-elected or the insatiable desire to adhere to a “higher” calling while promising to deliver manna and honey to their impoverished but hopeful…
Inglewood Assemblymember Tina McKinnor endorsed Adam Schiff for Senate? Adam Schiff? Is this what our newly elected freshman Assemblywoman is up to? Trading her endorsement of Adam Schiff to potentially replace long-time United States Senator Dianne Feinstein to give him credibility in the African American community? Although Congressman Schiff has served honorably I suppose as a member of Congress, if you want to ignore the fact he horribly mishandled the impeachment of former President Donald Trump then I guess he fits the “criteria” as the ideal candidate to replace the highly respected Feinstein. For full disclosure, I’ve never been a…
Can I say that I’m genuinely excited about the future of Inglewood for the first time since Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts Jr.’s arrival here in 2011  because if we can take any lessons learned so to speak from the City’s last election in November and the upcoming District 1 runoff election scheduled to take place on March 7th, is that Inglewood residents disdain and displeasure with this elected body’s governing style that one time, was nationally renowned and celebrated has been exposed as a fluke. Mayor Butts barely avoided a runoff to retain his seat for Mayor against lesser-known…
At some point in time we all need to have a collective, “Coming to Jesus” moment that those charged with the arduous task of fixing homelessness are exasperating the problem out of financial or political gain and until we as the electorate revolt with passion, purpose and unwavering desire to correct a flagrantly flawed political system, despite its best or worst intentions as designed as some argue always produces the lesser of two evils in which the masses, resigned to a sense of helplessness and void of hope are left to wander about like sheep among wolves, fighting for our…
By: Marvin McCoy The truth matters. Once again I can’t express this anymore clear and with the Inglewood city council preparing to take legislative action to receive grant funds to hire a homeless service coordinator, citing its own staff report that homelessness is yet an increasing and ever-evolving problem that’s hard to get a handle on despite the City’s carefully scripted-like Broadway show denying homelessness, housing instability, or the fact that the “Inglewood’s Renaissance ” so to speak continues to be a driving force behind the increase in homelessness and housing instability not only here in Inglewood but across Los Angeles…
