Diana Ross is the latest picture to be released with the Jeffrey Epstein files. However, reports claim the DOJ is being accused of falsifying photos of Ross and the late pop star Michael Jackson, stating that the photos were for a benefit.

We’re confronted with another tragic loss: a wife and mother has died while pursuing beauty ideals. She was drawn to perfection, shaped by unrealistic beauty standards that dominate social media and the music industry, which are nearly impossible to attain. Many influencers now embody exaggerated versions of themselves, chasing envy and attention, often at great personal cost.

Following this broader context, Alicia Stone, 40, a married mother of three, died after receiving a BBL in a Columbia facility. She was later rushed to a nearby hospital after being found unresponsive in her hotel room in Cali, reports state.

Reflecting on Stone’s career, I think back to my own detective aspirations—I didn’t want to fulfill the prerequisite of walking the beat. In contrast, Stone put in the work, serving 13 years in the NYPD’s Internal Affairs. That isn’t an easy feat, particularly in a male-dominated and racially charged environment. I know from first-hand experience.

This raises a pressing question at the heart of this issue: why do so many women take serious risks, especially traveling to other countries with potentially lower medical standards, in pursuit of appearances dictated by American beauty ideals?

Consider the context: while this trend is less prevalent now than a decade ago, it still remains the most dangerous cosmetic procedure available, with reports stating a mortality rate as high as 1 out of 3,000.

Critics who identify this crisis as a lack of self-love are supported by women who understand the risks, but still choose the overseas option for its cheaper costs.

Stone’s experience is, unfortunately, not unique—she is one of thousands whose situations have ended in death or botched results. As a 9-1-1 operator, I have answered a few emergency calls from women and men falling victim to the latter.

The cycle of these tragedies prompts reflection. I don’t know when emphasizing the part of the body from where bowels flow will ever not be a “thing.” But what I do know is that, whether we like to admit it or not, the Kardashians dictate the trends for all races of women. Therefore, my prediction is that when these reality stars ring the alarm that the big-butt craze has ended, then people will stop dying.

In a historic move, the NAACP won’t be inviting the president and vice president to the NAACP National Convention.

Barack Obama told the people of Flint, Michigan, to drink poisonous water he knew was toxic. Bill Clinton signed the 1994 Crime Bill, leading to the incarceration of hundreds of Black people. And George W. Bush not only turned his back on Hurricane Katrina victims, and there were no WMDs.

These presidents were all invited to the NAACP’s convention.

The Trump administration backpedals on undocumented immigration policy. President Trump is calling for ICE to halt its arrests of undocumented workers in the hotel, farming, and restaurant industries.

Through this action, America reveals to the world it cannot survive without undocumented immigrants. Whose fault is this?

House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), a political party in the U.S. state of Minnesota affiliated with the National Democratic Party, was shot and killed along with her husband in the early hours of Saturday, June 13th.

This shooting comes just days after the lawmaker voted against MinnesotaCare for undocumented migrants in the state.

Lawton Lane News is an independent news site that offers its opinion. LLN believes this story deserves as much coverage as the slain UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson received.

LLN also observes that, just like the healthcare CEO, there is no public outrage. This website denounces violence, but it is clear that the public is thoroughly disgusted and frustrated with the healthcare and political systems in their country.

Lawton Lane News told its audience that the Obamas were blowing smoke during the 2024 election. The new book, Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, reveals Barack Obama worked behind the scenes to cancel VP Harris.

The juxtaposition of President Trump’s 2016 victory and 2024 win differ drastically.

Eight years ago, the streets were filled with angry protesters nationwide. Today, it appears that the second-term president has the support of the American voters as he continues to sign executive orders and pardon Jan. 6 perpetrators, including those who violated police officers.

The media is outraged. However, they appear to be the only ones who are.

We wonder why cultural icons like the rap group NWA, and Bonnie and Clyde, a couple who went on a killing spree, are revered all over the world.

NWA expressed that through their music, they wanted LAPD to feel the same anxiety and paranoia that they gave Black people. And 9 out of the 13 people Bonnie and Clyde murdered were law enforcement. The killing duo hated the police. They believed the police hated them— the downtrodden. Today, many Black and poor Americans share the same sentiment.

I worked for the police department, and my training manual states that if the community has a negative view of police officers, it’s the police department’s fault.

While our officers are needed and should be respected, they are often silent when one of their own decides to play Klansman with Black and poor people’s lives.

Perhaps that’s why the American people are silent now.

Joseph R. Biden left office on Monday, leaving his plummeting media to answer questions regarding his multiple pardons for his siblings hours before he left office.

The former president also had his liberal networks’ help in keeping his mental health a secret, along with downplaying how the American people were financially progressing under President Trump’s first administration, which a pundit later admitted on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

Now, the falterring networks are left to serve its small audience answers for all the deceit and lies they may have told about Trump “stealing democracy,” which was a faithful hot topic for both networks, using the catch phrase in hopes of propelling Biden and then VP Kamala Harris to a White House win.

But Black people stayed home, and the few Black voters who voted for Donald Trump aided in the 47th president’s victory.

It should be noted that former President Biden did not pardon any of his liberal journalists or their networks who employ them.

President Jimmy Carter was laid to rest yesterday, and all the past presidents were in attendance along with the First Ladies, with Michelle Obama noticeably absent.

There were memorable moments—Trump and Obama conversing and laughing, George W. patting Obama’s belly as he entered the pew (that’s how some alpha males/good old boys greet one another). Much of it was interesting to see. Click here for more.

BRUCE FISCHER, THE HUSBAND OF NEBRASKA SENATOR DEB FISCHER, REFUSED TO SHAKE VP HARRIS’ HAND DURING A SWEARING-IN CEREMONY. CLICK HERE TO SEE WHY BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD KEEP IT MOVING.

A 22-year-old woman began dating her boss, who was 33 years older than her. He fired her after giving her a thorough humiliation in front of her colleagues. It’s fine to date your boss. It’s fine to date older men. But women have got to be tactful. Men already are. Click here for this mess of a story.

In an interview with Joe Budden on the Joe Budden Podcast, rapper Nicki Minaj revealed that she was ashamed of not having a voluptuous backside like the girls the man who signed her, rapper Lil Wayne, would bring to the studios for visits. He would also tease her (I call it humiliation) about not having an ass.

The Pink Friday rapper eventually gave in and received cosmetic surgery for fuller buttocks. In the interview, she said, “I wish I had thought more of myself.” Minaj is one of the most transparent rappers in the industry. Her lyrics and language are outright filthy and offensive, yet her honesty about where her confidence was at that time were the most powerful words I’d ever heard her speak.

I have been harassed all of my life for not having a derriere. I’m a Black woman who had to grow into loving the way I look, and believe me, it took a great deal of reading, reflecting, and being alone.

Women are now taking pictures from the back when the camera is meant for the face. Black people now value the part of the body from where shit escapes more than they value a beautiful face and a healthy body.

But let’s be clear. You can be a White woman with no ass. The self-esteem of Black people is so low; no matter what White people look like, it’s perfectly fine with them.

So, here is what Lawton Lane News (LLN) believes is happening. Since different rules exist for Black and White women, I think the Black man wants Black women to look their worst. And we are witnessing Black women looking the worse we’ve ever looked—eyelashes that can double as fans, 10” nails, long shiny wigs, fake asses on top of the big one they already possessed.

If loved ones who we’ve lost 20 years ago could be resurrected and they saw what Black women look like today, they’d be horrified.

I used to blame Black men solely. However, they couldn’t have achieved this without the help of Black women.

Wake up!
