The Mainstream media has all but ignored Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor on trial in Philadelphia for what can only be described as acts of horror.

“Infant beheadings. Severed baby feet in jars. A child screaming after it was delivered alive during an abortion procedure. Haven’t heard about these sickening accusations?

It’s not your fault. Since the murder trial of Pennsylvania abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell began March 18, there has been precious little coverage of the case that should be on every news show and front page….

NBC-10 Philadelphia reported that, Stephen Massof, a former Gosnell worker, “described how he snipped the spinal cords of babies, calling it, ‘literally a beheading. It is separating the brain from the body.” One former worker, Adrienne Moton, testified that Gosnell taught her his “snipping” technique to use on infants born alive.”

“A Lexis-Nexis search shows none of the news shows on the three major national television networks has mentioned the Gosnell trial in the last three months. The exception is when Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan hijacked a segmenton Meet the Press meant to foment outrage over an anti-abortion rights law in some backward red state.”

However I have prepared a social media report that right now is outdated but lists examples of the Kermit Gosnell trial being covered BY THE PEOPLE. It lists 50 some mentions but by the hours it’s grown. This is just the initial report.

I am disturbed because the mainstream media would look at this as an abortion issue, yet if this exact issue were happening in China they would all cover it as a HUMAN RIGHTS issue since China is the ‘big bad’ . But it has to be up to Social Media to cover this doctor’s trial in what Democratic Lawmaker Daniel Patrick Moynihan appropriately called “Infanticide” and what then-Senator Hillary Clinton voted “Yes” to the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act” to prevent.

And the horrors don’t end there.

“Gosnell has been denied bail while the case against him moves forward. Women have spoken out about their treatment and one woman says she was drugged and tied up and forced to have an abortion.”

Why are the grass roots on BOTH sides of the aisle covering this while the mainstream is not? I wish I knew.

Create Carrier Offers Superior Drivers That Are Safe

Today I encountered a Crete Driver Tractor Trailer, # 225078. I followed him on I-24E from Nashville proper towards the Smyrna area. I was highly impressed at how he handled his rig. He drove safe, obeyed the rules of the road, and appeared alert and responsive. He was a cut above the rest of what I normally see on Nashville’s highways.

I-24 is notorious for accidents, careless drivers, and major setbacks due to small driving mistakes. While cars outnumber truckers, truckers have a greater responsibility, are in many cases professionally trained, and in my estimation, bear a greater responsibility. This Crete Carrier driver clearly realized all of that.

Kudos to Crete Carrier – I’d feel confident and safe if my family were sharing the highway with Crete Carrier.

…so long…

I remember just being the outsider looking in, never quite understanding anything. Being the one who never fit in, never quite belonged, never quite felt comfortable. But that eventually passed.

It was lifetimes ago and yet I remember interviewing Monica, Ray J, Fabolous; I remember press events meeting Wyclef Jean, screening Aaliyah’s movie and her final release party before her untimely death – being in the same room as she, not knowing it would be the final time. Valentine’s Day showing up with a bear and chocolates for R&B singer Brandy after her mom invited me to “A Tribute for Rod Stewart” by Atlantic Records, a private party.

And then travelling the world working with AIDS orphans in Zambia, South Africa, and Kenya, 5 trips in 2 1/2 years, it was an amazing run. Vistiting Amsterdam, London, and other places along the way was so exciting, and truly believing I was making a difference out there, experiencing different cultures and ways of life, new civilizations, going where I hadn’t gone before. Lost a child on the last adventure. I think I underestimated how much losing a 6 week old child does to one’s sense of adventure.

And most recently, lived two lives at once, helping run a film company, getting to visit film sets across the country, spending time with Garcelle Beauvis, Matthew Marsden, Doug Jones, Dan Ireland, Jonathan Shepard, and so many others, returning to L.A. – the site of the final film set – with the help of my guide Alexis to work with the homeless, and at the same time running an open home for teens in East Nashville, allowing them in 24/7 for rest, food, sanctuary, training, and recreation.

Now…I’m a parent. In my 11th month of parenting. A new adventure entirely. The things on my mind these days are parenting the best way I know how, and hoping to find my friend Alexis one day in the future. I’ve not asked for much for myself over the years, but finding her in the future would be a nice kiss to the past.
