On Second Thought …   BY CLARENCE BARR, II   I imagine it’s a good thing that I took a hiatus from being a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and professional football in general. If I didn’t, I probably would have driven myself crazy wondering why it took so long for the Bucs to…

The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, in spite of the allegations of sexual…

Sometimes news truly is fake. This became blatantly apparent last week during Hurricane Florence. When the storm made landfall in Wilmington, NC a reporter for…
