“It is with great sadness that I have to announce to the fans of the Pointer Sisters that my sister, Bonnie, died this morning,” Anita Pointer said in a statement.

Bonnie recorded five albums with sisters Ruth, Anita and June, co-writing the act’s country hit “Fairytale” with Anita.

Anita and Bonnie Pointer recently released “Feels Like June,” a song in honor of their sister June, who died in 2006.

“The Pointer Sisters would never have happened had it not been for Bonnie,” Anita said.

Bonnie is survived by brothers Aaron and Fritz and sisters Ruth and Anita Pointer.

“…we must ask – on what grounds and by what form of executive fiat does the Chief Elections Officer determine that he should invalidate 1 vote, far less over 115 000 votes when the votes were already certified as valid by officers of the Guyana Elections Commission in the presence of the political parties”, she asked.

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is concerned at reports that the Chief Elections Officer has submitted a Report to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) which is contrary to the directions given by  the Commission and which does not reflect the results of the recount process as certified by the very staff of the Guyana Elections Commission and witnessed by representatives of the political parties.

The CARICOM Observer Team was of the unshakeable belief that the people of Guyana expressed their will at the ballot box on March 2 and that the results of the recount certified as valid by the staff of GECOM led to an orderly conclusion on which the declaration of the results of the Election would be made.

Therefore, we must ask – on what grounds and by what form of executive fiat does the Chief Elections Officer determine that he should invalidate 1 vote, far less over 115 000 votes when the votes were already certified as valid by officers of the Guyana Elections Commission in the presence of the political parties.

I assure you that the Community remains committed to the people of Guyana and remains resolute that the report of its Observer Mission was very clear in its conclusions as to the will of the Guyanese people as reflected in the recount which they monitored.

Now, the family of Floyd is speaking out and they want the four Minneapolis cops involved to be charged with murder.

VIDEO

 

The four cops involved with Floyd’s death were fired on Tuesday, according to the police department, and now the case is being investigated by state and federal authorities including the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The officers confronted Floyd, who was inside the vehicle at that point, and the cops said he “physically resisted” after he got out the car.

However, video of the moment Floyd was taken out of his car by the police shows that he didn’t seem to initially resist as reported.
