While famous white celebs have to bribe folks to bolster the chances for their mediocre children to get into top universities around the country, this Black Atlanta teen embodies what it means to honestly achieve greatness by her own merit. According to CBS 46 , Jordan Nixon, a 17-year-old senior at Douglas County High, has been accepted into 39 schools and has been awarded a whopping $1.6 million in scholarships. The potential international business major was first accepted by HBCU Grambling State University. “The crazy thing is, I’m still waiting on decision letters, but I was not expecting that at all,” Nixon told CBS 46. But looking at her impressive resume, this shouldn’t be shocking news to anyone. “I am one of the captains of the varsity cheer team here at Douglas County, I’m in Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, and I also participate in DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America),” she added. Douglas County High student confirms that they have never had a student that got into this many schools before. “Students like Jordan who took advantage of being able to apply to a lot of schools through certain avenues like the Common Black App, you can apply to a lot of schools with one low price for that one, and also Common App they can apply to up to 20 schools at one time on one App,” said Pinky Quick, the College and Career Center Specialist at Douglass County High School. And of course, her parents couldn’t be more elated. “We’re so happy for her because she does put in a lot of due diligence into applying for these schools,” Nixon’s parents, Angelia and Arthur Nixon, stressed. Nixon, who has not yet decided on a school, hopes her story will inspire other high school students to push themselves beyond what they think they are capable of. “I wanted to challenge myself,” Nixon told the outlet. “That was the most important thing for me, just to show others anything is possible and that anyone can accomplish it too.” Nixon has until May 1 to make her final choice. We support any choice you make Jordan. Congrats!

We’re told Kelly’s ex-employee, Cheryl Mack, arranged the flight for Savage out to Oklahoma on the singer’s dime. We’re told once in Oklahoma, Joycelyn met with Kelly in a hotel room and sang for him. She was also told to disrobe down to her underwear and walk around the room for Kelly, who eventually made a move on the girl. We’re told Savage later confided in at least two friends, including her voice coach and the woman’s son, that Kelly forced her onto the bed and sexually assaulted her, but she did not want to go to the authorities about the situation.

Source: Jesse Grant / Getty The official trailer for Avengers: End Game is finally here, and of course, people have a lot to say about it. Since the second Avengers: Infinity War dropped in April of last year, Marvel fans were already asking a million questions about what’s going to happen in the sequel–and now, we are closer than we’ve ever been to finally seeing what happens to our favorite Avengers squad. Disney dropped the brand new Avengers: Endgame trailer on Thursday, which immediately caught fans by surprise. The short movie teaser shows our heroes–including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Captain Marvel and many more–trying to figure out how to move forward with their lives after Thanos destroyed half of their universe with one simple snap of his finger. The trailer starts with some ominous voiceover work from the one-and-only Tony Stark, who begins, “God, it seems like a thousand years ago I found my way out of that cave, became Iron Man, realized I loved you. I know I said no more surprises, but, I was really hoping to pull off one last one.” Here, he’s addressing who we can only assume is his soon-to-be-wife Pepper Potts. As the trailer continues, we see a lot of very nostalgic flashback moments for some of our favorite heroes like Ant Man, Hawkeye, Captain America, and more. The trailer itself is pretty melancholy, showing just how serious life and its stakes have gotten since Thanos’ decimations–but it’s not all bad news. At the end of the trailer, we get to see a brand new scene where Thor summons his hammer, which whizzes right past Captain Marvel’s head without causing a flinch. In this very telling introduction for the new hero, she smirks as Thor turns to Black Widow and says, “I like this one.” If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, join the rest of the world and watch it down below: Of course, with a new trailer comes some new reactions, and people are going absolutely crazy for this preview of what’s sure to be the biggest movie of 2019.

Source: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Getty Senate Republicans Vote Against Trump’s National Emergency Not in our House …or Senate. Today the Senate voted on Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency in order to secure funding for his stupid a$$ border wall. According to CNN , twelve Senate Republicans including water-sippin’ Marco Rubio and bootlickin’ Mitt Romney joined the Democrats to vote against the mad President 59-41. Unfortunately, Trump has specific veto power and had already announced that he will use it once the Senate shuts him down. “I'll probably have to veto,” Pres. Trump said earlier Thursday in anticipation of the vote, predicting that his veto would not be overturned. https://t.co/1iWLUbAWUz pic.twitter.com/PNoQdLv92R — ABC News (@ABC) March 14, 2019 Lawmakers would need even more votes to override Trump’s veto and it doesn’t look like they will get that magic number. That said, Trump is more on an island than he’s ever been at any point during his Presidency, he does not have the will of the people or the government. “Declaring a national emergency to access different funds sets a dangerous new precedent,” GOP Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio warned in remarks on the Senate floor ahead of the vote. “It opens the door for future presidents to implement just about any policy they want.” Sounds like exactly the type of government that Trump wants. Thanks, 53% of white women. Great job.

Raksasa Premier League, Manchester United diberitakan akan segera mengirimkan tawaran untuk mendapatkan gelandang PSG, Adrien Rabiot pada bursa transfer musim panas mendatang. Di musim panas kemarin, Rabiot menjadi rebutan banyak klub. Gelandang ini bermain sangat baik dan konsisten dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, sehingga banyak klub berebut untuk mendapatkan tanda tangannya.

Spekulasi mengenai masa depan gelandang 23 tahun itu pun terus berlanjut. Barcelona yang sebelumnya sangat ngebet mendatang Rabiot, mulai mengambil langkah mundur untuk merekrutnya karena mereka sudah mengamankan jasa Frenkie de Jong untuk musim depan. Kini seperti diberitakan The Sun, United pun kabarnya berminat untuk memboyong Rabiot ke Old Trafford. Free transfer yang membuat United semakin pede akan mendapatkan jasanya. Continue reading →
