Doctor’s Pill Push: Six Years Behind Bars for Opioid Crimes
In a shocking turn of events that underscores the rampant corruption at the heart of America's opioid crisis, Dr. Charise Valentine, a 69-year-old physician from Southfield, has been sentenced to six years in prison for her role in a massive scheme to illegally distribute prescription opioids, including highly addictive Oxycodone and Oxymorphone. From 2016 to 2018, Valentine shamelessly churned out over 3,000 prescriptions for more than 200,000 pills at a sham clinic masquerading as a legitimate medical facility, profiting over half a million dollars while endangering countless lives. Operating under the pretense of medical care, this cash-only establishment exploited the vulnerable by doling out prescriptions based not on genuine need but on a predatory cash-for-pills business model. With the FBI and the Department of Health and Human Services at the forefront of this investigation, officials rightfully condemned Valentine's actions as a betrayal of the Hippocratic Oath, which she flouted in pursuit of personal gain. This case serves as a stark reminder that there are no sanctuaries for greed masquerading as medicine, and that those who poison rather than heal will be held to account.

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905)June 21, 2026
Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, and novelist who became the foremost exponent of existentialism in the 20th century. His first novel, Nausea, was one of many works depicting man as a lonely being burdened with a terrifying freedom. He served in World War II, was taken prisoner, escaped, and was involved in the French resistance, during which he wrote multiple works. In 1964, he became the first person to voluntarily decline the Nobel Prize in Literature. Why did he refuse it?

Long before a national holiday was established, this day of the year had been observed by Canada's Inuit, Métis, and First Nations peoples as a celebration of Aboriginal heritage. In 1996, the Canadian government made June 21 an official holiday, including all citizens in the observance. Celebrations take place throughout Canada, and are organized by the regional offices of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Canadian Heritage. Some festivities are modest celebrations; others exhibit a stronger focus on culture and tradition by holding canoe races, powwows, and awareness events.

CigarsJune 21, 2026
Cigars, tightly rolled bundles of cured tobacco, were being smoked by the Mayans as early as the 10th century. Spanish travelers to the Americas brought cigars back to Spain in the 16th century, and their popularity then spread throughout Europe. The word cigar, therefore, derives from the Mayan word for tobacco. What did US President John F. Kennedy reportedly do immediately before imposing the Cuban trade embargo that, among other things, prohibits US residents from purchasing Cuban cigars?
