  • Cartoon of Serena Williams at U.S. Open being called racist

    NEW YORK, NY — Serena Williams finished the U.S. Open final in tears, but it wasn’t because she won that shiny trophy! Over the weekend, Williams was squaring off against Japan’s Naomi Osaka, but in the middle of the game the umpire gave Williams a warning after noticing her coach was doing a little, well, coaching in the stands, which isn’t allowed but is rarely punished. “I was 100% coaching” says Patrick, Serena’s coach. “Everyone does it, it’s time to […]

The Brock family lost their son, Braxton, in 2017 when he was just 21-years-old. Braxton was on his motorcycle when a pick-up hit him and drove away in Plano.

  • Plano doctor says women deserve less pay because they ‘do not work as hard’

    PLANO — Somebody grab the Advil. We’re going to need it for this headache. You might’ve already heard about Dr. Gary Tigges from Plano Internal Medicine Associates.

Because, you know, quotes like this […]

  • #TrustBlackWomen: Dallas abortion billboard claps back

    DALLAS — It looks like a billboard battle is brewing. A month ago, we told you about a pastor and his billboard message on abortion that read “Abortion is not health care. It hurts women and murders their babies.” “It sparked anger in me,” Marsha Jones from The Afiya Center told NewsFix. “It is shaming, it is stigmatizing, it’s trying to control women’s reproductive choices.” The Afiya Center clapped back at the original billboard with one of their own that says: […]

Emotions were running high during the sentencing phase of former Balch Springs Officer Roy Oliver, who shot and killed 15-year-old Jordan Edwards back in 2017. “What do you think is appropriate for someone who murders a 15-year old unarmed teenager?” the prosecution asked Roy’s mother, Linda Oliver. “I believe we have to look at the full situation, the […]

    DALLAS — Two men walk into a bar, but instead of making a drink, they made a deal. No, this isn’t the start of a joke! A couple of guys agreed to go into business together over dinner. The terms were set in stone, or rather some hotel stationery, and the rest is history. The note read, “Three year contract, $100,000, company car, benefits, and then it says 2% of option and that’s essentially the 2% equity deal.” In plain English, […]

  • Gov. Greg Abbott wants to pay Texas teachers a six-figure salary

    DALLAS — They say those who can’t do, teach. But, that might not be such a bad thing, especially when you consider what Governor Greg Abbott, who made his way to the Big D to talk school and resources, is trying to do. He wants to put more money into schools by putting a little extra green in the teacher’s pockets! “A better system, I suggest, is one that will reward the very best teachers who achieve very good results […]
