It was one of the key issues that helped get Black women in NJ to the polls for Mikie Sherrill last November.

We screamed it in 2024 - but no one cared. They cared more about Palestinians than my niece, their FELLOW American - who was sent home from the hospital when she was in distress because she is 'young'.

She's a nurse with a Masters Degree. She drove thirty miles South and another hospital admitted her. She ended up having an Emergency C-Section.

But Black Lives only matter when Performative Leftists can use it to go viral. They don't give a fuck about us - then wonder why we sneer at them.
