Martine Moïse, the widow of assassinated Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, has taken her desperation to a whole new level. In an open letter dripping with flattery and misplaced admiration, she has begged Donald J. Trump to declassify all FBI and State Department documents related to her husband’s brutal murder. The most shocking part? She compared her late husband to Trump, implying that both men were victims of economic elites, media slander, and assassination attempts. To say this is disappointing would be an understatement. Jovenel Moïse: A Leader Betrayed and Murdered On the night of July 7, 2021, a well-coordinated team…
New York’s Leadership Crisis: How Corruption, Greed, and Incompetence Are Destroying Our City Being a middle-class New Yorker is not for the weak, so imagine the struggle of low-income and poor residents. Homelessness has always existed in this city, but it has worsened with each passing year. Why? Because the very people we trust and elect to safeguard our city are in bed with those who exploit it for personal gain. Mayors and governors love to claim they work for us, yet their pockets are the ones swelling. Take, for example, the ongoing mental health and housing crisis, two critical…
Something isn’t adding up. In just the first two months of 2025, six major plane crashes have rocked the world. Collisions, mysterious mechanical failures, and crashes that make no sense. Yet, while everyday people are dying in the skies, the billionaire elite are up there playing astronaut, and the government is conveniently silent. Are we witnessing random aviation failures, or is something much bigger at play? A Series of Unexplained Plane Crashes Let’s lay it all out: The Potomac River Mid-Air Collision (Jan 29, 2025) – An American Airlines jet collides with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter over D.C.…
Elon Musk, the so-called genius who has revolutionized space travel, electric cars, and now, apparently, government inefficiency itself. His latest stroke of brilliance? Launching DOGE.gov, a website for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) only for it to get hacked immediately. That’s right. A department literally dedicated to efficiency couldn’t even keep its own website secure for more than five minutes. Hackers wasted no time exploiting vulnerabilities, leaving unauthorized messages for the world to see. Because, you know, nothing screams “efficient” quite like rolling out a broken government website. The Musk Touch: Making Tech Look Incompetent Since… Well, Always How…
Recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation activities have sent shockwaves through the Haitian community, creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. Whether undocumented or legally residing in the U.S., many Haitians now live in anxiety, especially those with undocumented family members. The fear of a knock at the door has become a daily reality. While individuals bear the brunt of this fear, businesses are suffering as well. Haitian-owned establishments, particularly those in nightlife and hospitality, have seen drastic declines. Many workers, scared of being detained, are avoiding work altogether. In some cases, ICE has conducted workplace raids, leading to…

The recent departure of lead singer Emmy Nixon Louis (EmmyNix) in February 2025 and the return of former member Fréro Jean-Baptiste raise an important question: What exactly is the problem? https://youtu.be/f9k0NKpq_j4?si=bCFq8uIRWvwJWovA A Band in Constant Transition Zenglen’s struggles are not due to a lack…
What does the future hold for Disip now that Elizabeth Paul has stepped away from her managerial duties? That’s the million-dollar question. But if her parting words are anything to go by “We will see if I was the problem” Gazzman should be on high alert. That statement alone was a challenge, a bold dare, and if he’s not careful, those words will come back to haunt him. Let’s not sugarcoat things. Paul’s exit wasn’t exactly a quiet stroll in the park. She went out with a bang, exchanging verbal blows with certain male media personalities, a back-and-forth that got…
Black History Month: Honoring Notable Haitians Who Shaped History Black History Month is a time of reflection, education, and celebration of the contributions of Black individuals throughout history.

Haiti, the first independent Black republic, has produced extraordinary figures who have influenced politics, arts, sports, music, and civil rights. Haitian Revolution: The Spark That Changed the World No discussion of Haitian contributions to Black history would be complete without mentioning…

On February 2, 2025, the band made a grand return with their latest album, “IDANTITE’N,” a well-crafted masterpiece featuring 16 tracks that blend traditional compas with modern influences.

After…
Move over, Democrats, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has seemingly discovered the secret formula to political success: cozying up to Donald Trump. And guess what? It’s working! Yes, the same Eric Adams who once positioned himself as a tough-on-crime, pro-business, “for-the-people” mayor is now on a surprising winning streak, right after taking a page from the Trump playbook. Coincidence? Probably not. From “Law and Order” Mayor to Trump’s New Protégé? For months, Adams found himself drowning in scandal after scandal. Investigations, corruption whispers, declining approval ratings, it was starting to look like his mayoral stint would end in disaster.…
