Commitment To The Truth | EPISODE 142 Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

A Dunedin, Florida man fired 30 ar-15 rounds at his pool cleaner, whom he mistook for an intruder. The pool cleaner, Karl Polek, was not hit by any bullets, but he did sustain minor injuries from shrapnel and flying glass. The man who fired the shots, Bradley Hocevar, will not face charges, as Florida’s Stand Your Ground law protects his right to use deadly force if he believes he is in imminent danger.

A fan threw her mother's ashes on stage at a pink concert in Dallas, Texas. The fan, who has not been identified, said she wanted to give her mother a "proper send-off." Pink stopped the concert to comfort the fan and thank her for sharing her story.

Officials in Florida said they cannot win a murder case in the shooting death of Ajiké Owens, a 27-year-old mother who was killed by a neighbor when she went to his door to ask for help. The neighbor claimed self-defense, and prosecutors said they do not have enough evidence to prove otherwise.

Quavo and Offset, two members of the hip-hop group Migos, have settled their beef. The two rappers had been feuding for months, but they recently announced that they are back together. However, they said there are no plans for new Migos music at this time.

In addition to these topics, Amanda also discusses other news stories and current events. She also shares her thoughts on a variety of topics, including pop culture, politics, and social justice. The Amanda Seales Show is a great way to stay informed and engaged with the world around you.

I hope you enjoy the show!

They Better Call Tyrone | EPISODE 140 Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

The new menstrual health education curriculum will be implemented in D.C. schools starting next year. This is the first time that a comprehensive menstrual health education curriculum will be taught in all public schools in a major U.S. city. The curriculum will cover topics such as anatomy, puberty, menstruation, and reproductive health. Amanda talks about the importance of this curriculum and how it will help to break down the stigma around menstruation and empower young people to take control of their own health.

Another topic on the show is Erykah Badu’s recent concert in Florida, where she called out fans for leaving early. Badu had stopped the concert to address the issue of people leaving, saying that she felt disrespected by their actions. Amanda talks about the importance of respecting artists and their performances, and how it's important to be mindful of the impact that our actions can have on others.

Amanda discusses a recent ruling by a federal judge in Florida that blocked a ban on using Medicaid for gender-affirming care. The ban had been put in place by the state's Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis. Amanda talks about the importance of this ruling and how it will help to ensure that transgender people have access to the care they need.

Also we talk about the unveiling of a new U.S. Postal Service stamp honoring congressman John Lewis. Lewis was a civil rights icon who fought for equality and justice for all. Amanda talks about the importance of Lewis’ legacy and how the stamp is a fitting tribute to his work.
