Daycare Freaks

November 30, 2007

Before I write another word, I have a question to ask you. Would you send any child, regardless of whether or not it’s your own child, into a home to be cared for by any of the three characters above? Look at them. They look like poor trash.

Well believe it or not, there are people who actually felt comfortable dropping their children off to those hard looking creeps and sure enough, they have been arrested on drug dealing charges.

Parents, PLEASE start judging books by their covers, okay?

The parents who actually dropped their children off with those creeps should lose their custody rights, posthaste!

Three people are under arrest after a police raid at a daycare in Silverton turned up numerous bags of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and $1,000 in cash.

According to police, the owners of the unlicensed, home-based business were actually dealing marijuana and neighbors we talked to agreed it would be the perfect cover for a drug operation.

“There was a lot of traffic, but people thought it was just because of the daycare,” one neighbor said.

“I had no idea that’s what was going on at all,” another neighbor said. “That’s scary to know.”

The owners of the daycare, 52-year-old William Hodson and his wife, 55-year-old Rose Cardiff, were both arrested on drug and child endangerment charges. Three grandchildren, who lived at the home, were taken into state protective custody.

Another man, 32-year-old James Franck, was arrested on drug charges as well. He had been staying at the home.

Hey “R. Kelly”, Will you EVER Stop Crossing Lines?

November 29, 2007

Accused/alleged child molester, Robert Kelly, is caught up in yet another scandal as his publicist of 14 years quit. Upon leaving, she offered:

I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14-year tenure as Mr. Kelly’s publicist … There are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign.

*COUGH*  Um…WHY do people INSIST on leaving the FOX to guard the HENHOUSE?

“DJ”, Star Torain is Baaaaack

November 29, 2007

Do you all remember Star Torain, the New York “DJ” who threatened to do an “R. Kelly” (pee on) regarding the young daughter of a rival disc jockey in New York? Go HERE to refresh your memory.

Anyway, he was rightfully fired and New York was a better place for the firing. We don’t need that type of vulgarity and insanity running loose over the airwaves in the U.S.

Well the MoKelly Report contacted me to let me know that this jerk is actually BACK. Why is it that it’s so hard to get rid of roaches, folks?

America Cannot Afford Houses

November 28, 2007

What’s going on in the U.S.? All over the country there is an epidemic of foreclosures and to make bad matters worse, houses are not selling. If someone sees themselves headed for foreclosure, they cannot even pull out by selling their home because it’s not a seller’s market right now.

I live in a quaint little town. About three years ago the economy was on fire. My town was listed in the Washingtonian Best Places to Live issue a couple years in a row. As a result, for a while it was almost impossible to purchase a home in my town because there were bidding wars going on like crazy.

I’ll never forget a woman knocking on my door and asking me if I would be willing to sell my home to her. I laughed and told her, “no way”. That was only three years ago. My, how times have drastically changed. Across the street from me a home was bought by a “flipper” who wanted to fix it up and sell it for profit. The home is beautiful. The work done on it is impeccable. The purchaser even brought in a “staging” company to fix it up with lovely curtains and interior decorating services.

In spite of all of his efforts, that house has been sitting there, unsold for 4 months at least. This does not look good, everyone. Even in wealthy Montgomery County, Maryland (one of the richest counties in America)the houses are not selling and many are going into foreclosure:

The number of foreclosure filings in Montgomery County spiked 2,000 percent in the third quarter of this year compared with the same time last year, proving that even a county with the seventh-highest median household income in the nation is not immune to the fallout from the escalating subprime lending crisis.

The county reported 1,009 foreclosure filings — default notices, auction sale notices and bank repossessions — between July and September of this year, 20 times more than the 48 filings made during those same months last year, according to national data provider RealtyTrac.

In every jurisdiction, even the wealthier ones like Montgomery and Fairfax, there are relatively affordable older housing projects that attracted people who in todays market couldn’t afford them, said Stephen Fuller, head of the George Mason Center for Regional Analysis.

People who didn’t qualify for [prime loans] could get into the houses using subprime loans or other mechanisms, he added.

Fuller said subprime borrowers were probably also attracted to the spate of condo projects in Silver Spring and Bethesda during the housing boom.

Lenders offered a record number of subprime loans to borrowers in the D.C. metro area in 2005 and 2006, according to the Center for Responsible Lending.

Such loans often come with low initial interest rates that jump drastically after two or three years, at which point many homeowners find themselves unable to afford their mortgages, triggering foreclosure.

Yes, everybody a few years ago was qualifying for a home, regardless of credit rating or salary. Such people were tricked into getting into a home they could not afford in an area they could not afford and now they are feeling the effects of that horrible decision. I blame much of it on lenders and shady real estate agents who engaged people in those shady deals. The world is in trouble, folks. We are spending TRILLIONS on war while our economy is falling apart at the seams.

International Drug Ring Taken Down

November 28, 2007

THANK YOU, JESUS!!!!!!!!!!

God is still making moves. He already has lifted up a standard against dirty pulpit pimps and prostitutes, pulling their covering from them and exposing them for who they are.

Now it looks like he is going after some of satan’s big fish!

A multi-agency task force cracked an international drug trafficking ring in west Volusia County. Investigators raided at least six homes in Deltona, DeBary and Lake County believed to be involved in the distribution of cocaine and marijuana coming out of Mexico.

The major ring, which agents said distributed drugs from Mexico across Central Florida, was broken up Friday in Volusia County. Eight people were arrested early Friday and a ninth suspect turned himself in late Friday afternoon in the nearly year-long investigation.

Kilos of cocaine, a dozen pounds of marijuana, bundles of cash and nine guns were taken during investigators’ early morning raids of six Central Florida homes.

“A major drug smuggling operation was put out of business,” said Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson.

Looking forward to more brick walls of sin and filth tumbling down!

Press Release, New Play: Church Mafia

November 27, 2007

 PRESS RELEASE

Camp Springs, MD (BlackNews.com) - Jay Cameron and Urban Change will present a special encore performance of Church Mafia at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 1, 2007 at The Life Center for the Performing Arts, 5610 Linda Lane in Camp Springs, MD.

Amidst a frightening trend of countless recent church scandals and widespread public disillusionment about religion and the church, Jay Cameron’s courageous new stage play Church Mafia is based on a true story and exposes the schemes many churches and cults use to abuse and control their members. This problem is not rare but rampant in society and is marked by a manipulative, deceptive mindset from which no denomination, race or geographic region is immune.

Whenever someone hears the play’s title for the first time, their eyebrows rise. Curiosity about the underlying concept sparks energetic conversations. Most people don’t naturally think of the terms “Church” and “Mafia” as related ones but Jay Cameron does and he thinks everyone else should also. Although the phrase evokes mental images of organized crime figures dressed in clergy robes, meeting secretly with their entourages standing guard after Sunday worship services, he’s not talking about fiction. He used to be a central figure in a group he now can only describe as a church mafia.

Some of the compelling questions he has asked himself in preparation for this play are: “What makes people join an organization that controls and manipulates its members? And why do they stay?” Most people think that the church is the one place they can go for refuge from the corruption, abuse and pain elsewhere in their lives. Believing the best, they can embrace a good first impression of a church with secret dealings that would impress any notorious mob boss. Like an initial experience with an illegal drug, the organization successfully meets the needs of a new member, initially making them feel good and building a loyal relationship. The benefits of the relationship diminish gradually as the member returns seeking another experience as satisfying as the first one.

Jay purports that religious leaders involved in church mafias operate in ways noticeably reminiscent of Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Saddam Hussein. Extreme examples include Warren Jeffs, David Koresh and Jim Jones. Murder may not be a part of their MO (modus operendus), but spiritual death is a frequent consequence. They use subtle tactics to manipulate trusting followers into doing things such as giving up their life savings, ending viable marriages or neglecting their households and families to serve. They tell them their sacrifice is a service to God. Anyone who disagrees or refuses to submit to the manipulation is targeted for public emotional or verbal abuse (often dealt from the pulpit), rejection, restricted access to resources or loss of position and respect in the church. These consequences can lead to violence, substance abuse, psychological dysfunction and suicide. No matter how the outcome unfolds, lives are destroyed.

This is the fourth production released by Jay Cameron. His productions have been seen by more than one hundred thousand worldwide. Jay currently serves as senior pastor of The Life Center Church in Camp Springs, MD. Mr. Cameron intends for this production to shed light on the problem so that people can deal with their own church mafia experiences.

Tickets are available at Ticketalternative.com $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

Washington Redskin, Sean Taylor Dies in Mystery Burglary

November 27, 2007

    I don’t have all the facts yet, but this whole situation looks veeeery peculiar to me.

Sean Taylor was a young man who had had problems in the past with criminal activity. He even pulled a gun on someone at least once.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that his home was targeted for robbery. And while he slept, his home was broken into yet again but this time he was killed. There are soooo many questions.  I start with the question, HOW DID THE CRIMINALS GET PAST HIS SECURITY SYSTEM?

I plan to follow this story to its logical conclusion. I have a feeling there will be an arrest within the next 2 weeks. Some blabbermouth is bragging at this very moment, trust me.

Police said in a statement that Taylor, 24, died at 3:30 a.m. at a Miami hospital and they were treating the case as a homicide.

“The blood loss was too much. He didn’t make it,” said Taylor’s former attorney, Richard Sharpstein, on CNN’s “American Morning.”

Skin Lightening Creams and Self Hatred

November 27, 2007

   It’s really sad that black folks and other non whites are still using skin creams to try to make themselves ligher and ultimately to look more like a white person. It goes to show the level of mental illness in the black community. Not only is it a problem in this country, but in England, the problem is almost epidemic.  

“Illegal bleaching creams and soaps are a major problem,” Bouch says. “And once we eradicate it from Brixton, it will go to another borough where there’s a big Asian or Black population.”

Skin bleaching — using chemical or natural products to lighten skin color — is common practice in the Americas, Africa, across Asia, and increasingly, in Europe.

Psychologists say consumer demand can be traced to perceptions that lighter skinned or white people are more successful, intelligent and sexually desirable.

And as the UK’s Asian, African and African-Caribbean communities grow, so too — cosmetics industry experts say — does ethnic spending power for products promoted to lighten skin tone.

But some of these creams, soaps and solutions contain hydroquinone, an ingredient that is banned in cosmetic products sold in the United Kingdom.

The United States Food and Drug Administration says based on experiments done on animals, it “cannot rule out” hydroquinone’s potential cancer risk in humans.     

Michael Jackson, of course, is the “king” of bleaching. I don’t know specifically how he managed to dye his skin white, but I don’t believe for a second that he has a skin disease. He is simply a black man who had most of his nose chopped off and had his face altered to look like a white woman. It’s a sickness.  

We can blame the media all we want, but much of this problem is internal. I hear black children calling each other racially offensive names. And where did they learn that? At home with their families where they hear references to skin color all the time.

“The image that the media presents about black people is that we are inferior, we are not as good as everybody else. But those who are successful and going places are those who are light-skinned people. So one might say that the desire to be like white people underpins people’s wanting to be fairer-skinned,” Olajide says.

Welfare Recipients Lose More Rights

November 27, 2007

I have a trillion and one reasons why able bodied adults should not be sitting around collecting welfare payments. Well, add another to the heap. I now have reason # trillion and two!

The Supreme Court rejected a challenge today to San Diego County’s practice of routinely searching welfare applicants’ homes without warrants and ruling out assistance for those who refuse to let them in.

The justices refused, without comment, to intervene in the case from San Diego County, where investigators from the District Attorney’s Office show up unannounced at applicants’ homes and conduct searches that include peeking into closets and cabinets. The visits do not require any suspicion of fraud and are intended to confirm that people are eligible for government aid.

Failure to submit to the searches, which can last an hour, disqualifies applicants from assistance.

If that’s not reason enough for folks to get their buns out there and get a job, I don’t know what is.
