While some believe that the sentencing of Karmelo Anthony wasn’t harsh enough, others — including rapper Cardi B — are outraged that he got sentenced at all.

“Wow! Just freakin wow! DISGUSTING… This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!” Cardi B wrote in a post on X.

BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is disturbed by the rapper’s response, especially considering that it is shared by many on the left.

“What are you even saying?” Stuckey asks. “Not that I expected Cardi B to understand what due process is or to have this solid moral compass, but also, like, if Nicki Minaj can do it, I feel like you could too, Cardi B.”

“I feel like if you just tried and you turned your thinking cap on for a second, you could see that yeah, murder is bad and you should go to jail for murder,” she continues.

“He’s not getting the death penalty. He’s not getting life in prison. He’s going to get out when he’s in his mid-30s. He could get married. He could have kids. He could probably get a job,” she says, noting that Austin Metcalf will get none of that.

“And yeah, we should make an example out of murderers. That’s part of the reason for the justice system. It is preventative in that way. It is saying, ‘Hey, if you do this, you will also get this punishment, so don’t do it.’ Like, that’s a good thing. We want people who are potential murderers to see the justice system actually working and saying, ‘I’m going to think twice before I kill someone because I’m mad that they threatened to touch my backpack,’” Stuckey says.

“It’s not just rappers like Cardi B. It’s not just these random activists. It’s also representatives. It’s also congresspeople,” she adds, playing a clip of Jasmine Crockett responding to Anthony’s sentence.

“Black women, especially black women who have black male children, live in fear and agony every single day. A fear and agony that, I promise you, the Metcalfs probably never spend a day living that way,” Crockett said.

“Why? Why do they live in fear and agony?” Stuckey asks. “Why do moms of black boys, black men, live in fear and agony? Has nothing to do with Austin Metcalf. Has nothing to do with the police. Has nothing to do with white people.”

“If black mothers fear for their sons' lives, the fear should be toward other black men, because statistically, black men are the ones killing black men,” she adds.

A group of lawyers were caught red-handed by a judge who said she is tired of the courts being burdened.

What started out as a mundane case of a lawyer claiming he was owed legal fees turned into an embarrassing ordeal for both the municipal government and the lawyer seeking remuneration.

'A prime example of the risk associated with serving as a rubberstamp.'

Last October, a court in Aberdeen, Mississippi, awarded lawyer Tom Withers III attorney's fees and expenses stemming from a previous case he worked on. Legal documents accessed by Blaze News stated that attorneys for the city, rather than the city itself, were held responsible for the payment of the fees.

This meant that those involved in the case included Withers, his attorneys Kathleen M. Wilson and Shauncey Hunter Ridgeway, and the city's lawyers Kathryn Y. Williams and Mark C. McClinton.

Both parties filed submissions, and within a two-week period the legal process was ready to continue — until a review of the submitted briefs showed that both parties had submitted documents containing nonexistent citations that were hallucinated by AI.

Withers' lawyers signed off on a filing that contained citations described as "hallucinatory," while the city lawyers signed off on two filings that contained fake citations on behalf of the jurisdiction.

The court then asked the attorneys from both sides to show why they shouldn't be sanctioned for their behavior.

Both parties eventually admitted that their citations resulted from unverified use of artificial intelligence.

In January, all the attorneys were in attendance for a hearing where they "expressed embarrassment and apologized to the Court," the filing read.

Lawyer Williams admitted to using an AI tool to do legal research, while Wilson admitted to using generative AI to draft her filing. Neither verified their work before submitting it.

The other two lawyers, Ridgeway and McClinton, admitted that they did not review the filings before submitting them to the court, but signed off on them electronically anyway.

This all fell on the desk of Judge Sharion Aycock, a senior U.S. district judge for the Northern District of Mississippi, appointed by President George W. Bush in 2007.

Aycock wrote that the lawyers essentially had wasted court resources and called out the two local attorneys for their behavior.

"In an era of rampant unverified AI usage within the legal field, this case presents a prime example of the risk associated with serving as a rubberstamp when acting as local counsel."

Additionally, Aycock described the "unusual scenario" as one in which "attorneys for both litigants engaged in similar sanctionable conduct."

Judge Aycock added, "This Court is yet again 'burden[ed] [with] addressing AI hallucinations in court filings.' ... While '[g]enerative technology can produce words,' it cannot attach '… sincerity, truth, or responsibility to what it writes. That remains the sacred duty of the lawyer who signs the page.'"

On X, lawyer Rob Freund reported that among the sanctions placed on the lawyers, they were handed fines ranging from $1,000 to $3,500 and a disqualification from practicing in the district for two years.

I'm in a particularly good mood as I write this. I'm on vacation, you see.

And not just anywhere; this is a very special destination. It's not particularly luxurious or fashionable; I'm pretty sure most of the beautiful people are in St. Barth's or the Hamptons. If you want a four-star resort experience, look elsewhere.

Unlike in our country, here it's only customary to check in on the news once or twice a day. So people tend to focus less on what they can't control.

But something about being here always puts my heart and soul at ease; when I return to normal life, it's with a sense of deep contentment.

For one thing, I love the people. In many ways they are poorer than we are; they're certainly not as technologically advanced. And yet the average person on the street seems to take special pride in his appearance. Good, presentable clothes; careful grooming; even posture is somehow straighter.

Continental breakfast

Welcome to the great nation of "Midcentury America." They say the past is a foreign country. If so, the United States as it was 50 to 80 years ago is one of my favorite places to visit — if only via old photographs.

I love to explore all of its different regions. The 1960s is a favorite, closely followed by the '50s. I also enjoy stopping by the '40s every now and then.

And I have to admit there's a special place in my heart for the '70s. Avocado couches? Burnt orange blankets? Deep shag wall-to-wall carpets in Harvest Gold? Bring it on! It's all part of the charm.

And the cars! Tesla and other marvels of modern automotive design haven't gotten here yet. But take it from me, you barely miss them. How could you? When you're on safari, you don't long for the petting zoo. So many magnificent species of Detroit engineering and design: Lincoln Continentals, Pontiac GTOs, Chevy Impalas. I still remember the awe on my minivan-raised children's faces the first time they encountered a Ford Country Squire.

Peace and prosperity included

Despite how unusual many of the sights here may seem to visitors, Midcentury America somehow feels like home. No smartphones or flat-screen TVs, but you wouldn't call it "backward." Everything is modern, without collapsing into that flat, gray "spaceship" style we're so fond of in 2026.

It all makes for a certain optimism that is all too rare where we live. And it's a real, earned optimism; Midcentury's proximity to two devastating world wars — not to mention a depression — means its citizens have no illusions about the fragility of life. And maybe that's why they never seem to take what peace and prosperity they have for granted.

Yes, there's the Cold War and nagging fears about nuclear annihilation. But unlike in our country, here it's only customary to check in on the news once or twice a day. So people tend to focus less on what they can't control and more on the people right in front of them.

This is a place where the future is always brighter. No wonder they have so many children!

Bring the kids

The more I visit, the more I'm convinced that the children are the key to it all. Each kid a family has is like a small "buy in" to their society; an unspoken, shared belief that this will all continue as one generation yields to another.

Trips to Midcentury America always seem to end just as you've really gotten the hang of the place; that's the nature of a tourist visa. Leaving is always bittersweet, but the country always leaves its mark. I like to think that each time I return, I bring with me some of their gratitude and indefatigable optimism. Back home, a little of that goes a long way.
