The anniversary of Brown v Board of Education prompted a study that showed how far we still are from desegregation of schools.  A Sudanese woman has been sentenced to the death penalty for converting from Muslim to Christian to marry her husband.  They originally gave her 1 week to switch back, but when she refused, they handed her the death sentence.  She is currently in jail, pregnant, and with her 18 month old son. A Georgia woman is suing her town after they passed a law that requires people to have an official purpose to buy a sex toy.  A 34 year old woman posed as a 15 year old and went to high school.  A fan of Rihanna went on a search to wear a dress that was inspired by her favorite singer.  After she gets the dress done, she posted the picture on Instagram, which caught the attention of Rihanna, who made fun of her trying to look as good as she does. A school that collects data on all of its students will not release what they collect on his student unless he pays $10,000.  A big Republican lobbyist was arrested after cops found cocaine and oxycodone in his possession while driving all over the road.  He claimed that he was on the drugs because he was stressed out by the rigors of his job.

Ana, Dave Rubin, and Desi Doyen hosting.  Due to ObamaCare, a free clinic that serves people without insurance in Washington state has gladly closed its doors since everyone is now covered.  The employees were volunteer nurses and doctors.  The accommodations that they provided were makeshift and subpar to regular services, but they got the job done.  Its patients are now better off.  Ana wonders when Republicans will stop using the term ObamaCare as good news like this spreads.  The police commissioner of a small town in New Hampshire was heard calling Obama the N-Word, and when called out on it, he doubled down on his comments in an email.  On Fox’s The Five, a female guest addressed The NY Times’ firing of their female Executive Editor after she realized she was being underpaid in relation to her male predecessor.  The guest said its demeaning and insulting for women to expect equal pay. Videos from the Idaho debate for governor between the 4 Republican candidates.  Two somewhat crazy candidates stole the show. Rubin addresses the outrage over his Apu joke on TYT 140.  Former police chief Mark Kessler releasing another profanity laced tape while shooting his machine gun.
