Obnoxious billionaire Martin Shkreli brags about owning Lil' Wayne's master copy of his scrapped album Tha Cater V.
The scrapped Tha Carter V was supposed to released on Cash Money Records in 2014. It was Lil' Wayne's final in the series. The album was scrapped after Lil' Wayne got into a huge feud with Cash Money CEO Bryan "Baby" Williams, known also as Birdman.
The two have a major feud. Birdman also put the brakes on Tyga and others after they spoke out against the label during interviews.
Birdman also has acquired rights to Young Money Entertainment, the label that Lil' Wayne co-owns.
It just started trending on social media.
A controversial billionaire hedge fund manager and all around douche, Martin Shkreli claims he has the master copy of Lil' Wayne's album. Shkreli teases the viewers on his Periscope video, a single called Carter V.
Shkreli was previewing snippets of the album.
He is notorious for raising the prices on life saving pharmaceutical drugs that assist in treatment of HIV and cancer.
He is also notorious for buying the rare Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album from the Wu-Tang Clan last year.
The album was kept under armed guards, enclosed inside a unbreakable box, and is considered one of the rarest and most expensive album.
Shkreli bragged he paid $2 million for the album. The album would cost $30 million by most standards.
The group vowed to keep it on lock until 2103. Shkreli violated the clause by playing a snippet of the video a day after Fuhrer Trump won the election,
Shkreli is considered a hip-hop fan.
Steam was coming out of Lil' Wayne's ears. He was pissed that the album was leaked without his permission and he is launching an investigation into the matter.
Socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor passed away. Until the mid-2000s, Zsa Zsa live her life in glamour and luxury.
Before we had all this garbage reality television and socialites like Paris Hilton, Blac Chyna and the legendary Kim Kardashian West, there were the Gabor sisters. Magda, Zsa Zsa and Eva were the ladies who had class, charm and a long list of men whom they've married. But of the three only one survived until her late nineties.
We bid adieu to legendary socialite and actress Zsa Zsa Gabor. The last of the famed Gabor sisters passed away at home in Bel Air at the age 99. When I last looked into the issue of Zsa Zsa, the junk food media was saying she was living in deplorable conditions.
The junk food media confirmed that she passed away of a major heart attack.
Her caretaker or the final husband Frederic Prinz von Anhalt let her deteriorate. At age 94, she was bedridden. She had her leg amputated because he allowed her to have a bed sore that became an infection.
And for the most part, she was dead already. It was painful to see her in the conditions she was in.
Mind you, Zsa Zsa outlived her sisters Magda and Eva. She even outlasted her daughter Francesca Hilton. Her only daughter was from famous hotel founder Conrad Hilton. The Hilton family disapproved of the relationship. Zsa Zsa and Francesca have long feuded with the Hilton family over the fortune.
Zsa Zsa claimed that she gave birth to Francesca out of a forcible rape.
She and Francesca were not close. Francesca was feuding with von Anhalt over the custody of her mother. He banned her from the property and placed an hold on her inheritance, Francesca would die of a stroke in 2015.
von Anhalt would never tell Zsa Zsa that her daughter died. He said that it would "break her".
Zsa Zsa was also famous for slapping a Beverly Hills cop. After a pull over in 1989, she slapped Paul Kramer after a pullover. He believed she was under the influence and driving without valid ID.
She would get time in county lockup when she refused to get treatment for alcoholism and failure to perform community service.
The celebrity, known for her multiple marriages and jet-setting lifestyle, had suffered a spate of setbacks to her health in recent years. After a stroke in 2005, she had been hospitalized repeatedly since 2010 after breaking her hip in a fall. Known more for her public antics and lavish ways than acting abilities, she was likely the first figure to inspire the phrase “famous for being famous.” She died just two months short of her 100th birthday.
Born as Sari Gabor, she was the middle daughter and the most notable.
Zsa Zsa was married nine times. She divorced seven times and had one annulled.
The entertainment community lost another one. The transgender actress who was a part of the famous Arquette family passed away.
Alexis Arquette, the actress known for roles in The Wedding Singer, Miracle Beach and Down and Out in Beverly Hills. She was a part of a famous movie and television family. Her sisters and brothers included Rosanna, Richmond, Patricia, and David Arquette.
Alexis was surrounded by her family at the time of death.
Patricia Arquette released a statement from the family. "Alexis was a brilliant artist and painter, a singer, an entertainer, and an actor. We learned what real bravery is though watching her journey of living as a trans woman. We came to discover the one truth----that love is everything."
At an early age, Alexis performed in music video for The Tubes, "She's a Beauty" at age 12.
Her big break came when she played a trans sex worker named Georgette in the movie Last Exit to Brooklyn with her sister Patricia.
Alexis played in numerous roles before coming out as transgender. She had surgery in 2007.
At the time of death, the family played David Bowie's Starman. The actress did of an undisclosed illness. The actress was in a coma for at least four days before they had to end it.
The results confirmed by the family was the actress died of AIDS.
Alexis was born Robert in 1969. She was the fourth child of the family.
Many tabloids are speculating that the famed singer was diagnosis with the HIV-virus. They claim that due to the singer's beliefs in medicine, he let it progress into AIDS.
According to sources close to Prince, they said that he was in bad shape. They said that doctors were telling Prince that his blood count was extremely low and his body temperature was dropping below normal.
He was out of place and disoriented. They said when he wanted to eat, he would throw it back up.
When the junk food media captured Prince in the Walgreen's parking lot pacing around, some thought that he looked like he was lost and out of place.
The source claims that Prince attracted the virus in the 1990s and kept the illness private out of fear of rejection.
Prince was a devout Jehovah's Witness and he often would not discuss issues that are negative.
He left no will. Now his family is battling with the record label over how his money and vault of music is going to be distributed. He was cremated on Saturday.
Prince died last Thursday shocking the junk food media.
The National Enquirer has often dished out dirt on many celebrities. It broke the stories of Jesse Jackson, Bill Cosby and John Edwards having illegitimate children.
It broke the story of Ted Cruz having numerous affairs on staffers and people who supported him.
And now Prince with AIDS. I am not surprised that everyone speculates things. But until the bag 'em ups says otherwise, I won't jump to conclusions.
The feds put an end to a local drug kingpin. The kingpin and I once attended the same high school.
I've graduated from Meadowdale High School in the late 1990s. During the 1990s, I've seen people through the lens of who's an achiever and whose a failure.
Okay, William Marcus Johnson, Jr. (known as Fruit) is a big pusher of the arm candy. He was once the class clown in high school. I guess them days are over. Now the "clown prince" is the city's biggest dope boy!
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said 33-year-old Johnson, who stands 6 feet and weighs about 185 pounds, last resided in Dayton. "He should be considered armed and dangerous," according to an ATF news release.
He was trafficking the fentanyl. The drug is a powerful relaxer that mixed with heroin could be a six feet deep trip to purgatory.
Johnson is currently sitting in a federal time out in Columbus, Ohio awaiting his trial on trafficking the narco.
Johnson is innocent until proven guilty. If found guilty he could get five years to LIFE in federal time out. He will have to serve out the term. There's no good behavior in federal time out.
I've mentioned a friend in the previous posts. She is a heroin addict who once had a promising future. I had a major fallout with her after the drugs consumed her life. The friends she associated with are another reason. I am guessing that Johnson is one of those friends.
Black men who are gay or bisexual face the threat of HIV infection at greater rates.
Users of heroin and Black men are driving the HIV epidemic back up to record highs.
You heard of the "down low".
Urban slang for Black men who are secretly "bisexual" or "gay". They want to give the impression that they're "straight" but are trying to repress their feelings towards men or transgender women.
Men love sex. They don't care what happens as long as they get their sexual fantasies off, the men are satisfied.
They end up having sex with men and women at numerous rates. Some are willing to spread the HIV virus in malicious ways to their partners or spouses.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that one in 64 men and one in 227 women in the United States will be diagnosed with HIV at current rates. For black and Hispanic people, however, that risk increases dramatically.
The Daily Beast reports that the dangers are still prevalent in the Black and Hispanic communities. Regardless of sexual orientation, one in 20 black men and one in 48 black women will be diagnosed with the virus that causes AIDS in their lifetimes, according to the CDC. For Hispanic men and women, the risks are one in 48 and one in 227, respectively.
White people have the lowest chance of an HIV diagnosis, with an overall lifetime risk of less than one percent. Gay and bisexual white men still have a lifetime risk of one in 11, though.
The CDC’s projections are based on data about HIV diagnoses and death rates collected from 2009 to 2013, and they assume that rates of new diagnoses remain constant. If that’s the case, one in six men who have sex with other men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetimes.
“These estimates are a sobering reminder that gay and bisexual men face an unacceptably high risk for HIV—and of the urgent need for action,” said Dr. Eugene McCray, director of the CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. “If we work to ensure that every American has access to the prevention tools we know work, we can avoid the outcomes projected in this study.”
For Hispanic people living in the United States, the CDC has already outlined an array of factors behind the alarming rate of new infections: a high prevalence of HIV, poverty and lack of health insurance coverage, “machismo” that can encourage men to engage in risky sexual behavior as a show of strength, and reluctance to access prevention services for fear of revealing one’s immigration status.
For black people, CDC resources show, prevention challenges are similar: poverty, stigma, barriers to health care access, and too few people knowing their status. Risk in black communities is especially high, the CDC notes, because “African Americans tend to have sex with partners of the same race/ethnicity mean[ing] that [they] face a greater risk of HIV infection with each new sexual encounter.”
According to the CDC’s new projections, all of the states with the highest lifetime risk for HIV are in the South, with the exceptions of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. All of these states and the South tend to have large black and Hispanic populations, higher rates of poverty, and less health-insurance coverage.
The CDC estimates that HIV risk is highest in Maryland, Georgia, Louisiana, and Florida, with about 2 percent of these states’ populations believed to test HIV positive eventually.
No single area may be worst-hit than Washington, D.C., which is nearly 50 percent black and 10 percent Latino. According to the CDC’s projections, a staggering one in 13 D.C. residents will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetimes.
But the CDC doesn’t want its projections to be interpreted as a death sentence.
“As alarming as these lifetime risk estimates are, they are not a foregone conclusion. They are a call to action,” said Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of the CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention.
If the U.S. can reduce new infections, those lifetime risk numbers will go down, too. The CDC’s current prevention approach emphasizes HIV testing, condom use, treatment for those who have already been diagnosed, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a daily medication that has been shown to reduce risk by more than 90 percent when used correctly.
“The prevention and care strategies we have at our disposal today provide a promising outlook for future reductions of HIV infections and disparities in the U.S.,” said Dr. Mermin, “but hundreds of thousands of people will be diagnosed in their lifetime if we don’t scale up efforts now.”
Mr. Moderate signed a bill stripping Planned Parenthood of its funds.
This will head right to the U.S. courts. The imbecile who claims to bring Americans together went back to his old ways. Ohio governor John Kasich decides to sign into state law a bill that will strip funding from Planned Parenthood and abortion providers.
The Ohio governor is struggling for victory in this bitterly fought Republican presidential primary race. Many of the establishment heads believe that he's a doomed candidate. They're not wasting time on him. So they're circling the wagons around political novices Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
Kasich wants to make Americans believe he's actually an unitier not a divider. Right now, I believe he's full of shit. Kasich wants to prove to the extremists that he's lockstep in destroying Planned Parenthood. CNN reports that governor signed the bill while he was in Ohio. He prepares to do some campaigning in Michigan.
Planned Parenthood isn't explicitly named in the legislation, but the law will prevent more than $1 million in funding from the state health department from going to the nonprofit to fund programs such as HIV testing, health screenings and prevention of violence against women.
Kasich, who's tried to project a more moderate image as a Republican presidential candidate on some issues, had been expected to sign the measure. A spokesman for the governor said earlier this month that he intended to sign the bill when it reached his desk. He did so Sunday, a day after finishing a distant fifth in South Carolina's primary.
The bill was swiftly denounced by Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards.
"This legislation will have devastating consequences for women across Ohio," Richards said in a statement. "John Kasich is proudly eliminating care for expectant mothers and newborns; he is leaving thousands without vital STD and HIV testing, slashing a program to fight domestic violence, and cutting access to essential, basic health care."
Planned Parenthood in Dayton, Ohio. There were protesters who showed up to protest the facility after conservative activists sneaked into a facility in California and Texas to "expose" evil doings. It turns out to be their "exposing" to be thier undoing.
On the campaign trail Kasich frequently talks about the importance of funding for expecting mothers and newborn babies. A spokesman for Kasich's gubernatorial office, Joe Andrews, said in a statement the new Ohio law is consistent with those views.
"The Ohio Department of Health has at least 150 other sub-grantees and contractors for the affected grants and projects addressing such issues as new born babies, infant mortality, expectant mothers, violence against women, and minority HIV/AIDS," the statement said. "ODH will reallocate funding from ineligible providers under the new law to other currently eligible providers, ranging from local health departments and community organizations to hospitals and universities. These organizations will be required to submit proposals in order to receive funding."
Many Republicans have said Planned Parenthood should be defunded, after controversial videos featuring group officials purportedly discussing the sale of fetal tissue surfaced last summer.
But about a month ago, a Texas investigation into Planned Parenthood culminated in an indictment -- of the organization's accusers instead of the group.
The Harris County District Attorney's office announced that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast had been cleared in the two-month-long investigation.
But the grand jury did indict two individuals who were involved in making secret recordings of the group that were released to publicly discredit the group, which provides health services and abortions.
David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were indicted for tampering with a governmental record, a second-degree felony, and Daleiden was also indicted on the count of prohibition of the purchase and sale of human organs, a class A misdemeanor, according to the Harris County district attorney.
Republicans sure love to get into the business of people. They will deny women access to health care.
They want to drug test Americans who are living from paycheck to poverty for a slither of the safety net. So if you want food stamps, financial aid, student loans, earned child credits and emergency shelter, pee in a cup and lose a portion of your hair.
They want to monitor a person practicing a religion that's not Christianity. So if you're an atheist, Muslim, Mormon or Scientologist, be prepared to have the feds looking into your place of worship or your non-beliefs.
The Denver Broncos send practice squad Ryan Murphy to the showers after he was caught up in sex sting.
Ryan Murphy won't celebrate the festivities on Sunday. The Denver Broncos safety on the rookie squad was caught up.
Murphy who lives in Oakland was caught in a human trafficking sex sting. The Santa Clara Sheriff's Department, the San Jose Police along with the FBI put Murphy and his brother in the county lockup for allegedly picking up a girl on the stroll. They took her to the Motel 6 to "kick it".
The law was watching them from a distance. Inside Edition, the tabloid news program was in a ride along with the law for Operation Charlie Brown. The law was doing decoy and monitoring women on the stroll. When they seen Murphy and his brother head off to the hotel, the law busted him.
Gary Kubiak was heartbroken that his player got caught up. He doesn't care what they do in their personal lives, but when it involves things that make the team look bad, he's extremely disappointed in the behavior.
Murphy, the woman and his brother have a court date and he's going to be eventually cut from the team. After all, when it comes to behavior, Roger Goodell had no choice but to lay the hammer.
Thank Ray Rice. If it wasn't for him, the NFL would just say "boys would be boys".
He was a standout for Oregon State.
A transgender prostitute in San Francisco.
Prostitution is an activity that involves a person selling their bodies for payment or bartering.
Tricks (johns/marks) are usually picking up female or transgender prostitutes in areas where the law often considered frequently traveled. The women often are addicted to drugs and may pose a risk of having a sexually transmitted disease. The women may often set up tricks by leading to places where they could be robbed of properties. Some women are often willing to put their lives and others at risk.
If you're a prostitute and have HIV, you could face a felony charge. It could carry 15 years in the iron college or LIFE depending on the state where you're busted in.
Murphy, the woman and his brother are innocent until proven guilty.
Superbowl L (50) is on CBS Sunday night February 7th. It's going down at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos will face off.
The news broke that R&B legend Natalie Cole passed away,
The entertainment industry lost a legend. Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat "King" Cole passed away yesterday. Her family confirmed this news today. She helped her dad score a hit. The song "Unforgetable" was a smash hit from the singer.
She passed away at the age of 65 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Her family said that she was battling health issues. During the 1980s and 1990s, Natalie struggled with heroin and crack addiction. She went into rehab after almost losing her young son Robert.
"Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived....with dignity, strength, and honor. Our beloved mother, sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever." This was coming from her son Robert Yancy and her sisters Timolin and Casey Cole.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Natalie Cole.
Celebrity agitator and socialite Martin Shkreil got a NO KNOCK raid. He was busted by the feds for securities fraud.
I didn't give too much attention to this controversy. But this manchild named Martin Shkreil pissed off a lot of people. The former hedge fund operator and entrepreneur got into the pharmaceutical business. He wanted to make some $$$$$$ off the backs of the sick and needy.
Many people who were getting the HIV cocktail were pissed this jackass raised the rates up 5500%.
The treatment is called Daraprim. Daraprim is a medication used for protozoal infections. It is commonly used as an antimalarial drug (for both treatment and prevention of malaria), and to treat Toxoplasma gondii infections, particularly when combined with the sulfonamide antibiotic sulfadiazine when treating HIV-positive individuals.
He was shamed by the junk food media and scorned by social media for that. Matter of fact, he was dissed on the dating websites for raising prescription drug prices.
I guess he got fed up.
The feds busted him today. He was arrested in a NO KNOCK at 6am by the U.S. Marshals, the U.S. Postal Inspectors and FBI. He was busted on securities fraud. That a serious federal charge. That alone could carry up to 25 years in federal time out.
The 32-year old millionaire was a huge supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Sanders found out about this jackass and he vowed to never associate with "losers" who hurt the middle class.
U.S. prosecutors said that he was running a Ponzi-scheme at his former hedge fund and the pharmaceutical company he ran.
Shkreli engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit.
Many in social media say that this asshole got a dose of #KARMA The hashtag was splashed around the social media and people can't help but watch this clown take a nosedive.
This guy was living like a "Boy Prince". He would actually purchase the rare final album of the Wu-Tang Clan. The album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is so top secret, no one but the group (and owner of the album) knows the tracklisting. This clown purchased the rare album for $2 million. The album contents will were sealed until 2104.
Shkreli purchased the album. When the group found out that he bought the album they donated the money to charity.
So will the junk food media label this guy a thug like they've done to Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin?
Ex-OKC officer Daniel Holtzclaw found guilty of rape.
The former Oklahoma City Police officer who ran a pimp game was served. He was found guilty for first-degree rape. An all White jury listened to the testimony of victims who were raped by this crooked piece of shit.
He got fired out the cannon after his superiors seen evidence of misconduct. This misconduct may hurt the relations with the Black community.
The victims were Black women who were on the stroll. The jury saw that Daniel Holtzclaw was guilty of rape and forcible oral sodomy on Thursday.
Holtzclaw faced a total of 36 charges. He got teary eyed when the jury ruled his fate.
This controversy touched the nerve of the community. It dealt with race, policing, and the blue wall of silence.
This situation wasn't getting much attention in the junk food media.
Holtzclaw played the "I'll look the other way" when it came to the criminal activity around Oklahoma City. He had a beat on the stroll. The stroll was Robinson Avenue in Oklahoma City. The stroll is notorious for ladies of the stroll to make $$$$$$$. It's a notorious area for human trafficking and pimping. The ladies were either low level drug offenders and some the ladies may have been HIV-positive. Some ladies would "honey trap" tricks into an area where the pimp or gang members would rob or brutalize the trick.
Prosecutors alleged that Holtzclaw would try to use his badge and charm to con ladies into sexual acts. Some of the women were violators of the road. He would look the other way if they would let him get a feel or a top off.
He told a victim that he get them off their drug charges if they promise to just look the other way and disappear for awhile.
Brian Bates, the Video Vigilante of Oklahoma City. He and his cameramen go through the streets of Oklahoma City to shame men who pick up prostitutes.
When Holtzclaw got off work, he would tell the victims to meet him at a location of his choosing and he would take them home and forcibly rape them.
The junk food media gave Holtzclaw a glaring spotlight before his downfall. He grew up Enid, Oklahoma. He was a star middle linebacker for Eastern Michigan University's football team. He graduated with a degree in criminal justice. He has family involved in law enforcement.
Holtzclaw is born half White and half Japanese. He was accused of raping 13 women, all Black, while he was on duty. Courts says that he identifies himself as "Asian".
Question: Would they give a Black criminal a glaring spotlight?
Well all that shit isn't relevant. What's relevant is the fact that this dangerous man is off the streets.
What's relevant is that this man is charged with rape, sodomy, stalking, sexual battery, robbery, burglary, indecent exposure, forcible oral sodomy, and misconduct as an officer.
The Video Vigilante films two ladies of the stroll. The one who wearing the boots is a notorious geeker named "Sweets". She is a "honey trap" who sets up her tricks.
RAPE IN OKLAHOMA COULD CARRY LIFE IN THE IRON COLLEGE. HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF THE RAPE CHARGES. NOW THE SAME JURY OR ANOTHER JURY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDING HIS SENTENCE.
I am guessing this sorry excuse for a human being is on "suicide watch" and will appeal his conviction.
Brian Bates, the Oklahoma City Video Vigilante dealt with this stuff for years. On his YouTube page and his website JohnTV.com, he takes the opportunity to shame tricks who use his city as a sexual playground.
Brian may have had a part in bringing down Holtzclaw. I am guessing he's aware of those lawmen who engage with the ladies of the stroll.
A number of courts and communities in the United States come together to finalize thousands of children from foster care. More than 300 events are held each year on the Saturday before the Thanksgiving weekend.
In the U.S. and Puerto Rico, many American children in foster care will be adopted.
About 40,000 children could be adopted a year from foster care.
It was started by The Alliance for Children's Rice, Children's Action Network, the Freddie Mac Foundation and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
The Wendy's founder Dave Thomas grew up in a foster home and before he started one of the country's largest fast food restaurants, he devoted his life to community service.
He would create the foundation to help young children find homes.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the definition of marriage is bound by two loving couples. Now straight and gay couples across the United States will have an opportunity to adopt children.
My community has the Montgomery County Job and Family Services. The adoption home sits on 1921 North Main Street. It's been there for years. The adoption agency is devoted to help children find homes.
World News Today offers our support to National Adoption Day.
The fall of an entertainment icon. The disgraced Subway pitchman Jared Fogle was sentenced to federal time out today. He was given a lengthy bid. He will spend 15 years and 8 months in the federal time out.
Once out he will register as a tier III sex offender for the rest of his life. He will have lost contact with his children, his wife and his vast fortune. He lost his "black card" with Subway.
All the fame, all the celebrities, all the luxury of being in the limelight is gone!
Fogle and his partner both had this obsession with popping little cherries. He was fixated on having sex with underage children.
He plead guilty to harboring child porn. He plead guilty to traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor.
He admits to the world that he had sex with underage girls and boys. He admits having sex with other women including prostitutes.
Fogle will now head to the FDX Marion. The federal time out is in Marion, Illinois. We'll find out where he will go. He's not a violent criminal. He is a sexual offender and they usually sent the interments to Marion for treatment.
Fogle tearfully apologized to the court and the victims as the judge handed him the sentence.
The lawyers were hoping for a five year bid on the basis of leniency. The prosecutors were hoping for 12 years and some change. The judge was more brutal. The judge saw Fogle as a selfish man who presents a danger to children. Fogle used his fortune to deliberately manipulate children into sexual encounters. The federal informant tipped off the law when she overheard him say that "teenage girls are sexy". Fogle told the federal informant that he wanted to have sex with her and two underage teens for his sexual fantasies and would gladly pay them for the encounter.
Now again, if you're caught up in a federal case and handed a sentence, you will serve the sentence in full. There's no early release in federal time out. You will serve all the sentence before they release you to post disposition control.
Fogle will be 54 years old by the time he gets out of the federal time out.
In 2010, Charlie Sheen found out he had HIV. He had the infamous breakdown during his run on Two and a Half Men. He admits it was an act to disguise the shame of being exposed to the virus.
The highest paid actor in America just confessed to Matt Lauer that he had HIV. Charlie Sheen made a rambling (stuttering) interview to admit to the world he's got the disease and he's being treated for it.
Sheen was high and apparently drunk during the interview. The doctor with Sheen's permission told the junk food media, that he is being treated for the disease and he doesn't have the latent AIDS.
He had admitted that he had unprotected sex while he was being treated for HIV.
He is taking the triple cocktail and admits to having doing it with alcohol.
In the rambling interview, Sheen admits he had HIV since the meltdown that led to his firing on the CBS hit Two and a Half Men. For nearly four years, Sheen knew about it and was ashamed that he had it.
He went through a binge of cocaine, alcohol and prostitutes. He had unprotected sex with a woman who may have had the virus. He admitted that he didn't care. He told his ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller about his situation. They agreed to keep it to themselves.
During the three seasons of Anger Management, rumors were going around about the A-list celebrity having numerous flings with women. They were saying that this actor was doing risky things exposing himself to HIV.
At the time, I didn't give two cares about it. I knew that the only celebrities I could think off, Sheen, Eddie Murphy, and Hugh Grant.
The prostitutes were women and transgender. He knew that the day would come when the world would know.
A former porn star was knocked up by Sheen. She had an abortion and told the junk food media that she now has to be tested constantly.
Sheen also admits that he had unprotected sex with numerous women while being infected with the deadly virus. He admits that a prostitute went through his stuff and found the retro treatment in his bathroom.
Sheen admits that he was being exploited by tabloids.
He said that he's been with his family.
Now the social media is buzzing about the controversy. This may be the biggest bombshell in the entertainment industry.
Charlie Sheen says he's been a victim of "betrayal and extortion," paying people millions to not disclose his secret https://t.co/KATzSjEiwU
Sheen may face some lawsuits and criminal misconduct charges. He admits that he will face his maker in the wake of his tragedy. He also said that he's been struggling to get back into acting since having HIV. Sheen admits he's battled depression during this period.
Sheen says that he will now "take the high road" to discuss his road to recovery.
No word of comment from producer Chuck Lorrie, former co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones (from Two and a Half Men) or Shawnee Smith (of Anger Management).
Not winning. Famed entertainer will tell the world he's got caught up!
A week ago, an adult entertainer threatened a lawsuit against a major A-list actor. She said that he was living secretly with the deadly virus. She said that he's appeared in movies and television.
It was splashed on the conservative Craigslist Saturday night. And now the sources point to....the son of Martin Sheen. He is the brother of Ramon, Renee and Emilo Estévez. The man who had rocky relationships with Donna Peele. Then comes Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller (the mothers of his children).
At a point I had to think that the only person I've known who had issues prostitutes, cocaine and alcohol was Charlie Sheen.
The famed actor will appear on NBC Today to discuss the controversy. Carlos Irwin Estévez (known as Charlie Sheen) will confirm to the rumors.
A huge bombshell for the entertainment industry.
Sheen has appeared in major movies such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Platoon, Hot Shots, and Wall Street. He starred in television shows such as Spin City, Two and a Half Men, and Anger Management.
Many in the industry knew that Charlie had issues. He was dealing with drugs, sex, and alcohol. The woman puts his business on blast. She said that Sheen would invite women from the adult entertainment industry to have orgies. He would sleep with women and transgender prostitutes.
According to numerous sources, Sheen is HIV-positive, It's a legacy of his past solicitations with prostitutes and substance abuses.
Terrorism is a part of the daily routine. The American politicos flex their "I'm a big muscle in the wake of the tragic terrorist attack in Paris, France.
Let me be clear, gun violence is a bigger threat here in the United States, than terrorism. Terrorism and diseases such as HIV and Ebola are exploited by the junk food media for fear.
The 15 Republican knuckle heads like to flex their "I can do this" muscle. They have no real answer to stopping terrorism. All I hear from the candidates is blaming people for unfortunate circumstances.
We haven't had a horrific [international] terrorist attack on our country since September 11, 2001. But to the Republicans and agitators in the media, President Barack Obama can't do nothing. The president has been aggressive against terrorism. It's unfortunate that the Islamic State and al Qaeda exists. Our country's influence in the Middle East has sparked feverish outrage.
The United States has blind support for the Israeli government's apartheid on the West Bank and Gaza Strip is one main reason.
We uprooted foreign leaders who we believe impedes on our "capitalism" and "values". Americans show constant bigotry towards people because of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings. Terrorism is inspired by animosity towards these groups. Terrorism exists. It's not going to stop. It's a part of daily routine here and abroad. It's a shame that we don't consider every mass shootings in our country as terrorism. It's a shame we don't consider any gun crime as terrorism. I don't call it radical Islam like the Republicans and conservative agitators. I call it terrorism.
HIV exists. It's not going to stop. It's a part of the daily routine here and abroad. Heroin and denial are the reasons to why the virus continues to thrive here in the United States.
No one talks about that in the debates. Nobody understands that heroin is causing HIV risks. Matter of fact, heroin should be second. Because so many suburban White people are killing themselves. White women are using heroin at a faster pace.
Me and S. Baldwin send our condolences to the numerous victims of the Paris attacks. On September 13, 2015, seven terrorists aimed at numerous venues in the Parisian night. The terrorists managed to kill 130 people and injured numerous people. It's confirmed that an American student studying abroad was one of the victims of this tragedy. Nohemi Gonzalez was one of the first confirmed Americans killed. She was only 23 and a student from Cal State University.
Now the world is mourning the losses.
Everyone here in the United States are showing solidarity by going to social media and posting their thoughts.
James Foley's family blames Obama for their son's death. Instead of blaming the terrorists, conservatives find the real threat to America is the President of the United States.
This became an issue for the Republicans and Democrats. Last night Democratic debate on CBS began with a focus on the tragedy. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O'Malley all had an opportunity to express their desires to take on the threat. They offer no real answer to how to take on the threat.
The Republicans on the other hand now are using this as a banter to attack President Barack Obama.
In an interview on ABC, the president said that the Islamic State is being "contained".
Conservative agitators and the candidates are seizing on that remark as a reason to say the president is aloof and not taking the threat seriously.
The U.S. gained some ground in the fight against the extremist group. An U.S. airstrike may have killed Mohammad Ewazi, the junk food media's so-called "Jihad John" spokesman.
The French government has been active in retaliation. The junk food media broke the news that French fighter jets strike on the de facto base of the Islamic State.
On GOP Sundays, you had commentators, agitators, and politicos wonk it out about how to fight an organization that seems to be getting more powerful by the day.
Republicans now saying that we shouldn't allow Syrian refugees asylum. They believe that terrorists could slip into the United States. Terrorism is already here in the United States. We have our own people leaving their families to join the Islamic State and al Qaeda.
Terrorism is going to be around 24/7.
Americans should use their common sense.
Always expect something to happen.
We should not live in a bubble fearing the unknown.
We never expect mass shootings in our country let alone a terrorist attacks.
Republicans don't see any reason to close the gun sale loopholes. Even if we accept Syrian refugees, they go through a background check. If one does slip into the United States, they'll have access to firearms through strawman purchases.
We have mass shootings everyday in the United States. There was a mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in October and one just last night. There was an entire family murdered in Jacksonville by a man.
So I don't want to hear this talk about terrorism, radical Islam and boots on the ground. We have people murdering people with firearms here in our country. This is the real threat to the country.
Dearborn police doing damage control after one of the officer screwed up.
Dearborn Police had to owe up to a woman. After a routine pull over in the Detroit suburb, the officer was disrespectful to the motorist. She didn't have a license and held a medical marijuana license.
She was being treated for the HIV virus. The officer freaked out when he searched her vehicle for contraband.
She was cited for driving without a license. It got worse when she was insulted by the officer who felt it was his duty to shame her about her health status.
The Raw Story reports Shalandra Jones, who sued after a Dearborn, Michigan, police officer asked if she had HIV, has settled with the city for $40,000, the city and her attorney announced Tuesday.
Jones was in a car that was pulled over for a routine traffic stop in January 2014 and questioned by police officer David Lacey for having marijuana in the car, as first reported by the Detroit Free Press. Jones had a medical marijuana card as part of her HIV treatment, though the card had expired at the time of the incident.
Detroit area woman sues Dearborn Police for harassment.
The police officer asked if either the driver or Jones had any diseases while searching through Jones’s purse. Her companion said Jones has HIV. “She’s got earrings and shit I’m touching, and I don’t want to get anything,” Lacey said on a video recorded by his dash camera. “That might be something you want to tell a cop,” he said to the driver. Lacey then compared Jones to “drug addicts” who use needles to inject drugs.
Of course, if you're not affiliated with the criminal behavior, you can tell an officer not to search your vehicle or reveal your status unless given by a court order.
The deadly disease isn't gone. HIV cases have actually grown in the past three years. It's mostly due to the heroin epidemic and denial of the disease.
HIV is spread through sexual contact, sharing needles and breastmilk to children. Blood transfusions are limited. HIV if left untreated can become AIDS. HIV is not a death sentence. HIV cannot be cured but it can be treated. You can live a healthy life with the disease.
HIV is spread through anal, vagina and oral contact. Oral sex is oftentimes looked as null. But if not rarely, a person can catch contact from a person carrying if the person has blood or semen infected with the disease.
It's a dangerous disease that I hope I never get. I usually get tested every six months because like most men, we're sexually active. I normally wear condoms whenever I have sex with a woman. Often times, I've been reckless.
Many of the victims of HIV are usually unaware of the disease. Some practice in unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Some may share hypodermic needles without properly cleaning them.
Some are aware of the disease and they don't care. They rather punish others for their failures. Those who do that are often associated with the stroll and they're willing to put your life and their life at risk for contact.
These are the ones who carry the disease. These are the ones who may end up getting me and you!
World News Today wishes Shalandra Jones well on her journey.
The executives of Planned Parenthood are going to now have to deal with video recording devices in their facilities. They will probably ban camera phones and do pat down searches for hidden devices.
My question to the workers of the non-profit firm, didn't you know that they use hidden cameras in their glasses?
The people who are talking to the executives at Planned Parenthood use body cameras such as their eye glasses to record you. These tactics are commonly used by James O'Keefe and Lila Rose. They are notorious race baiters and provocateurs of yellow journalism.
The family planning and women's health center once again is under fire after more videos surface of executives selling body parts. Planned Parenthood is doing damage control after this second video surfaced.
Yes, they recommend women to facilities that perform abortions.
Republicans have long sought to have Planned Parenthood stripped of its medical funding. But the only thing that keeps it from happening is President Barack Obama and his veto threats.
Center for Medical Progress is a front group for Live Action. They published a video of Planned Parenthood doctors talking about selling body parts.
If Planned Parenthood would do background check of their clients or donors, then they would have seen this as a front for Rose's Live Action group.
Why didn't they do mandatory pat downs of individuals entering the facilities?
Why didn't the security guards ask for the clients to take off their glasses and lift up their pen or pocket protector?
Anyway, the video shows Dr. Mary Gatter, President of Planned Parenthood’s Medical Director’s Council talking to the client about selling body parts.
The video is disturbing. Of course given its shoddy journalism, I can only expect the video to be selectively edited to make it seem like the Gatter is literally doing black trade on baby body parts.
The last one featured Dr. Deborah Nucatola.
Nucatola appears to negotiate the price of fetal body parts, Planned Parenthood insisted that the price she mentioned was only related to the costs incurred by Planned Parenthood with no profit involved. In the Nucatola video, however, she is seen and heard explaining that the Planned Parenthood affiliates in the body parts business wanted to do more than “break even.”
Now these women will now have to hire extra protection to prevent anti-choice extremists from putting a slug in them. They might face a cannon firing or deck shuffle for being caught on video.
They might sue the individuals who posted the videos without their permission. Because you see in some states, if you're recording someone without their acknowledgement they can sue. In some states, you must have a legal document detailing you're part of the junk food media and you're doing investigative journalism.
I am hoping that the people involved follow the script.
James O'Keefe already has to shelve out $250,000 in punitive damages during his ACORN Pimp days.
The Boy got these White girls going crazy. The Boy will treat them like queens and then smack them down like gnats. The Boy will love you one day then turn you out! You'll do anything for him. You may even trick for The Boy.
The Boy will let you get your fix. But The Boy doesn't give two fucks about you! Cause he's already got another chick.
When you die, The Boy will never visit you! He's already tricking the next chick!
White women between the age of 18-25 are becoming a target of heroin addiction.
The Centers for Disease Control have reported that the rise of heroin users increased so massively it's almost considered an epidemic.
The rise of heroin users have not only plagued the inner cities, but it's expanded into suburbs and rural communities.
Many communities are fearing that the heroin users will spike Hepatitis C and HIV. Often people who engage in heroin use are likely professionals.
The junk food media believes that many people who engage in heroin started with a gateway drug.
Which means that those who were addicted to pain killers and relaxers are turning to the smack.
It cost a lot of money to get a pain killer. So why not?
It's only a few dollars! Only $8 - $20 for a capsule of The Boy!
Okay, you know that users are often overdosing (OD'ing) off The Boy. For out of 150,000 people at least 20,000 are probably active users of heroin. At least 200 people died of heroin. The law in some cases carry Naloxone (Narcan) in case of heroin overdose. They have to be trained in using the reversal medication. Because if they see a deadly overdose, the law now treats heroin deaths as homicide. That means if they catch the smack man or person who let allowed an overdose to happen, they are charged with involuntary manslaughter. That means you aid and abet a heroin user who may overdose, you end up getting at least 10 years in the iron college.
I told you about friend
She was once the sweetest young woman I've known. Had a great job. Had a bright future in travel and leisure. She threw it all away for The Boy. I have a feeling that in less than five years, the junk food media will release her name. Either a victim of a crime or a suspect in a crime.
She got addicted to The Boy when she hung around with the wrong crowd. Now I am only guessing that she's trying to sell her saggy body on those online classified ads or hanging around the stroll. She lost her mother and home within the past five months. I would never allow her to live with me. I had a feeling that if I had her here in my home getting high, she would overdose. Not happening here!
She's hanging out with the dope boy (friend) and hiding from the law. Her life is turning from bad to worse. Word on the street she may have contracted the deadly HIV disease.
I tried to help by contacting a therapist I've known for a while. She ignored it! She doesn't work anymore. So there's no record of business or home address!
Heroin users are often dysfunctional and angry when you confront them on their addiction. They believe they can break up with The Boy. It extremely hard to explain to someone about an addiction.
You can't tell her anything! She too embarrassed to talk about her problems. She said that her only thing in life is to make money so she can get high!
I haven't heard from her in five days. I am only guessing the worse!
So do you know a family member, friend or co-worker you believe is addicted to heroin?
Do you believe that this crisis is going to get worse?
