COLUMBUS, Ohio-In the wake of two third-degree felony convictions and the jailing earlier this year of an Akron, Oh. Black single mother for lying on school applications to send her children to a neighboring predominantly White suburban school district with the hope of getting them a better education away from the housing projects where the family lives, Republican Gov. John Kasich used his executive clemency authority on Wed and reduced the charges to misdemeanors.

CLEVELAND, Ohio-After the announcement that Ray Horton was hired to be the new Cleveland Browns Defensive Coordinator there was excitement and optimism among Browns fans. Why, because so many remember so very well how Horton's Pittsburgh Steelers defenses dominated the Browns offenses so much since 1999 that they had to question if a rivalry still exists. That rivalry which was one of the NFL's bests before the former Browns became the Baltimore Ravens.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-State Sen. Nina Turner (D-25) , a Cleveland Democrat, sent shock waves through Cleveland's political rank and file this week when she filed petitions to take on U.S. Rep. Marcia L. Fudge (D-11) in next year's Democratic Primary election, a decision that has rocked Cleveland's Old Black Political Guard and has upset Black leaders with the prospective that the vote could be split by the two prominent Black women and a White could slide in.
"When minorities run against each other as was the case in Memphis, TN., you can end up with a majority representing a majority minority district historically led by a minority," said state Rep. Bill Patmon (D-10), a Cleveland Democrat and former city councilman who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2009. "When then U.S. Rep. Harold Ford gave up the only Black congressional seat in Tennessee to run for a senate seat that he lost Blacks lost that seat and have not regained it.
War with Syria means disaster, says Farrakhan, a letter to President Obama

BY THE HONORABLE MINISTER LOUIS FARRAKHAN
A LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
As-Salaam Alaikum.
(Peace Be Unto You)
May this letter find you, staff and family in good health and spirit in spite of prevailing circumstances.
I am writing this letter out of a deep concern for the direction that the president and our Congress may take our nation. There exists deep divisions within the Congress over whether this action should be taken, and if so, how far should America go in punishing the Assad Regime.
The President has said that he wishes to degrade the military and its ability to defend the regime, while at the same time he is giving greater weapons and intelligence support to the rebels to use for whatever time the Congress will give to the President for such action to setup their activity to actualize the overthrow of the Assad regime.
Although President Obama says that this will be a limited surgical strike, I am deeply concerned that a larger war will materialize and America will be forced to put American soldiers in harm’s way to accomplish their desired results. What is the real purpose of this intervention? What do we plan to do in the event the regime falls and the leadership in Syria falls into the hands of those who are not necessarily friends of America and another civil war takes place over who will be the political power in Syria. If Russia and others intervene a possible wider conflict could engulf the entire Middle East. Events and circumstances will manifest that our brightest minds had not considered making a messy situation even messier.
I am pleading with you on behalf of a war weary American people and the suffering peoples of the World; and the needs of the American people that will be further delayed in being satisfied, which will produce negative results on the inside of America creating the same kind of backlash and vitriol as we saw when the American people revolted against the war in Vietnam.
Please understand that there is another view from the other side that should be heard before such an important decision is made.
May Allah, The God of Peace and Justice that is rooted in truth, guide your heart and mind in a diligent search for the truth that you may make the best decision on behalf of those whom you represent.
Enclosed please find an eBook and video link to a recent broadcast that I made on this subject matter titled, “America’s Errant Foreign Policy”.
Best wishes for your success.
Sincerely,
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
Servant to the Lost-Found
Nation of Islam in the West
