In today's Uncertain Economy, American financing is helping families find a way out of the high-interest trap. We're heading into summer, but the economic clouds aren't clearing for most middle-class families. Between persistent inflation and the cost of daily life, you're likely feeling the pressure. You've worked hard for your home, probably have more equity than you realize, yet the summer surge is forcing many to rely on credit cards. It's an exhausting cycle, but American financing understands that 2026 requires a real strategy. That's why they have salary-based mortgage consultants with mortgage rates in the fives. Their customers are saving an average of $800 a month by wiping out high-interest debt. That's money that stays in your pocket to fight back against rising costs, no upfront fees, no pressure. And if you start today, you could delay two mortgage payments. Call American Finance today, 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711.

In the storied tradition of George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray and Michael Brown, Democrats have finally named their BLM martyr for the 2026 election season. And that is an 18 year old black man named Nolan Wells, who drowned while on a boat trip on the 4th of July. Now we're told he's the latest casualty of white supremacy and indeed of whiteness itself. I took a look at this footage as you watch it. And as you watch it, keep in mind, this is the Democrats' leader in the House of Representatives talking about a random teenager who drowned while partying with his friends. Watch.
Hakeem Jeffries (1:36)
The Mississippi Grand Jury decision with respect to Nolan Wells is very disappointing and leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Nolan Wells was a star athlete and yet the claim is that he accidentally drowned.
Nolan Wells allegedly gave his keys, his wallet and his cell phone to his friends. Why in the world would he do that?
An independent autopsy found that Nolan Wells had trauma and severe bruising to his head. And yet, that appears inconsistent with an accidental drowning. A lot of questions remain. We're gonna make sure we get the answers. Justice delayed for Nolan Wells will not be justice denied.

Now to be clear, Hakeem Jeffries is referring to a unanimous grand jury decision which concluded that none of the conspiracy theories about Nolan Wells have any merit whatsoever. And for the record, there were several black people on this grand jury and they spent the better part of a week listening to all of the evidence, but Hakeem Jeffries is not convinced. He thinks it's very strange that Wells left behind his cell phone even though several other people did as well, which isn't a very strange thing to do when you're swimming. And Jeffries seems to believe that Wells suffered a serious potentially fatal head injury, which also is not remotely true. We have to appreciate the irony here also, which is that after Obama's personal chef bizarrely drowned outside Obama's mansion on Martha's Vineyard a few years ago, these same people told us that there was no cause for alarm at all. Yes, there was documentary evidence that the chef knew how to swim and that he should have been able to handle the pond on Obama's estate, but one day, nevertheless, he somehow died while paddleboarding and nobody on the left finds it remotely suspicious.
And you know, maybe the chef really did just accidentally drown, but if you're going to claim that there's something inherently suspicious about an able-bodied male randomly drowning with no clear explanation, then by definition, you must find this event at Obama's house highly suspicious. On the other hand, if you're willing to accept that random accidental drownings happen sometimes, actually they happen a lot, and if you're willing to defer to medical examiners and autopsies confirming that a drowning didn't involve any foul play, as you must be if you aren't demanding that Barack Obama be hauled in for questioning, then logically you have to apply that to Nolan Wells.
But the key word there is logically, and as we know, the race hustlers do not concern themselves with such trifles as logic. We'll have much more on the Nolan Wells case in just a few minutes. This is a really a case that deserves a deep dive now that Democrats have decided to make it a central talking point ahead of the midterms. And we also need to talk about how at precisely the same moment Democrats are trying to start a race war, leaders of third world nations, mostly in Africa, are storming the United Nations demanding reparations, which presumably would ultimately be funneled to the progeny of the Africans who actually ran the slave trade. We'll talk more about that as well. What we're seeing here is not an accident. This is a coordinated effort to bring back the BLM riots of 2020 and we're going to expose it. This is an all out push to cause race riots in an election year. It's not hard to figure out who's behind it. We'll get into all of that in a moment. I want to start with a horrifying killing that took place in Charlotte in January of this year. Just before 6 PM, a 28-year-old black woman in Charlotte named Kulandra Hood, yes, her name is Kulandra Hood, ran a red light and mowed down a white 25-year-old runner named Lance Sotelo. Kulandra Hood then fled the scene, leaving Sotelo to die in the street, which he did. After Hood was apprehended the next day, the DA reduced the more serious charges to felony hit and run, and misdemeanor death by vehicle, because apparently misdemeanor death by vehicle is a charge that exists, and gave the sentencing judge discretion on how to proceed. Now, the case went before Mecklenburg County Superior Court Judge Reggie McKnight, who, as you already guessed, is black. And hearing all the evidence and the pleas from the victim's family and friends for a meaningful punishment, he sentenced Coulondra to a grand total of 16 to 36 months of jail time, with the entire sentence suspended except for 30 days. Which means that realistically, she's going to be out of jail after killing someone in 30 days. That's how these suspended sentences always work, no matter what other crimes she might commit. Oh, and she also has to pay a restitution of $765.
