  • #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: […]

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 […]
