Minnesota Mom Loses RIAA Fight!

Minnesota mom gets shutdown by the U.S. Supreme Court in her fight against the RIAA. 

Jammie Thomas became famous for being the first woman to be sued by the Recording Industry Association of America, for illegally downloading music off the internet's peer-to-peer sharing websites.

She along with if not millions of Americans shared or downloaded music online. Instead of paying $15 for a music CD, we just want the hottest singles from the entertainer. So we download it through online peer-to-peer sharing sites and download websites. It launched an ongoing battle against the music industry.

Nowadays, people are so fed up with the RIAA, the American people aren't buying the music or movies. It's been a slight slow down in downloading. But there's been a strong decline in music and movie sales.

Why pay over $20 for a movie? You can get it off the Pirate's Bay!

Why give these entertainers the luxury of stiffing us at concerts or snubbing our request for autographs?

This is how many Americans think of the entertainment industry. They believe most entertainers are too uptight and rally on controversy to stay relevant.

Jammie Thomas-Rasset is now 35 years old. Still owing the RIAA over $200,000 in legal royalties.

The woman was sued by the RIAA after they determined that music downloads were being used illegally.

Jammie Thomas-Rasset has become the first woman to be sued for $2 million by the RIAA.

The U.S. District Court in Minnesota found that Thomas-Rasset was found liable in damages and was ordered to pay $2 million. The damages were reduced to nearly $220, 000 after the court found it's ruling to too harsh.

Thomas didn't have the money and felt that she was singled out for something, millions of others do. She didn't sell the music illegally, she just listened to it on her computer. For nearly eight years, Thomas-Rasset fought this all the way to the Supreme Court.

Thomas-Rasset is a mother of four and of Native American decent. She lived in the community of Brainerd, Minnesota.

Married now, Thomas-Rasset was fighting this battle tooth and nail against an industry giant.

The Raw Story reported that her only opportunity to seek redemption was thrown out the window.

The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the appeal from Thomas-Rasset.

Three trials and multiple appeals later, she has been ordered to pay amounts as high as $1.92 million — or $80,000 for each of 24 illegally downloaded tracks. After the third trial, at which the jury awarded the music companies $1.5 million, the amount was reduced on appeal to $220,000.

That’s the amount in damages Thomas-Rasset was originally ordered to pay after her first conviction, but the judge who presided over that trial threw out the verdict calling it “wholly disproportionate” and “oppressive.”

In the mid-2000s, the Recording Industry Association of America and major music labels brought suit against thousands of people for illegally downloading and sharing music, with most agreeing to settlements of between $3,000 and $5,000.

Thomas-Rasset, however, has consistently refused to settle the case.

Only one other defendant, Boston student Joel Tenenbaum, refused a settlement. Tenenbaum was ordered to pay $675,000, a fine the Supreme Court also refused to review in May 2012.

In December 2008, the RIAA said it will stop suing people who download music illegally and focus instead on getting Internet Service Providers to take action.

Back in 2009, Jammie Thomas-Rasset went to CBS to talk about her appeal.




My commentary from my days on YouTube.

Is Facebook On The Decline?

Has Facebook reached the peak? Will it head for the decline!

Yes!

Today, I offer my honest opinion on the world's largest social networking website and the potential for a mighty downfall. As Facebook reached the peak of 1 billion active users, the world's largest social networking website has finally "jump the shark" and the peak of its popularity!

I can testify as a member of this!

For years I wanted to be with the "IT" crowd. I wanted to be "friends" with anyone and anybody!

My family, friends, ex-girlfriends, co-workers, and even my boss were friends on Facebook. I kept in touch with them through birthdays, anniversaries, new children, deaths and celebrations. I've posted on their walls about my life and how I'm doing! The more friends I've gotten, the better I felt. It's was one of the greatest feelings to be wanted. I mean "how cool is that?"

Then I realized that I wasn't moving as fast as my friends and family. They're celebrating weddings, births, and new achievements. I haven't experienced any in the past four years. So I seen myself at a peak of jealous and depression.

Longing for the days of success, I seen myself as a failure!

Since I gotten involved in politics, sports and social issues, I let myself become a somewhat popular figure on social networks. I have talked about issues in politics, my community and the media. I done it on my YouTube page and sometimes on my Facebook page.

Some didn't like the way I talked about it! So of course, these individuals bait you into a hostile discussion. Of course I'm getting angry with a complete stranger on a social network? Kind of silly right? Well when you're exhausted all you could of the individual you block that person!

You thought it would be over!

Wrong.

Well some didn't like that! So they pretend to be a friend and you add them! And of course they start stealing your pictures and learn how you operate online! They get a hold of this and then create many phony profiles of you. Then they prowl on your friends and bait them into a hostile debate.

Then you get harass by "yourself".

"I don't care what you do!" So why would I care about Facebook and other social networks?

I grown tired of MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube!

I mainly focused on social blogs such as this one and others I've done!

Reasons for Facebook's decline!

1) Jealousy Among Friends And Family Members: Seeing your ex-lover showing off their new partner. One of your ex-lover became a first time parent and you thought it would been you! Your friend was invited to a wedding of a rival. You had a friend who shows off their new "ride"! Too many pictures of your friend's children or changes to their home. Your family members have a special relationship and your not apart of it! Family members brag about winning the lottery, new home or meeting famous celebrities.

You always thought you could of had a piece of the action!

You're not alone!

Many psychologists see that Facebook has contributed to a rise of anger, depression and resentment towards friends, family members, celebrities and politicians. To think that when you hear a person say that "Facebook is so much like high school!" you're thinking damn it's too much drama! Of course we're all human! Facebook triggers emotions. I have seen friends and family members share emotions online and it's never enough!

2) Social Networking Etiquette: How is that, LOL (Laughing Out Loud)?

You know most Americans are trying to shorting their language online. We learned that the possibilities are endless for the newest "it" word.

Many people on Facebook lack the social etiquette when it comes to issues. Some people are failing into the trap of Facebook's don'ts. For one thing, we're all human and we have emotions. We like to share things to friends, family and even complete strangers.

The most dangerous thing to do is add "everyone"! Not everyone is your friend. For far too long, I've accepted friends from across the world. Some were cool, others weren't.

The 'friends" that were accepted weren't so nice!

You set yourself for a potential of hacking into your account. Your most happiest or embarrassing pictures are going to be on a file sharing site or a porn website. A cyberbully/cyberstalker will take your pictures and make derogatory themes using Photoshop and Photo Magic.

You may find some things objectionable. Say if you're a fan of Barack Obama and your friend is a fan of Mitt Romney. You would see a bitter fall out over politics.

Say if you're speaking in abbreviation (ROFL, LOL, and LMAO), some may understand these. Others think you may have to educate yourself!

3) Mark Zuckerberg. A billionaire before 30. He and his co-founders have became exceptionally rich. But have they've become a product of the very thing they've hated! Being one of the elites?

You hear stories about the often hoodie wearing social nerd and his vast expansions. But like every citizen in this country, he's a success story. Having dropping out of Harvard to become the CEO of a major social networking company, it pretty neat.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The young billionaire urges high school students to get involved with innovation.

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.

Last year, Zuckerberg announced that Facebook was going to trade publicly on the NASDAQ stock exchange. When the bell drop, it help propel him into an instant millionaire.

He would later marry his longtime girlfriend a few days later.

Facebook purchased photo sharing website Instagram.

The Facebook stock bust. Now people were expecting the Facebook stock to soar. It didn't. It's trading between $19 and $35 a share. Still a lot of money involved. But a major fail.

What happened?

Are you addicted to Facebook?

People are still very cautious about investing in the internet. Hence the Silicon Valley bust of 2001.

It seems like now even responding on his personal wall may cost some funds. The Wall Street Journal reported that it may cost you money to post on famous celebrities "personal" pages. It's being tested and most aren't hip to the idea.

It's always free for you to create a Facebook profile. But the added features that come with it will start costing you some cash.

Some decry this a Facebook selling out to the very heart of its existence.

4)  Randi Zuckerberg. The sister of founder Mark Zuckerberg was in the news last year. She was the chief marketing director for Facebook. She became a victim of the very thing that millions of users complained about, their privacy.

A friend of a friend saw a personal picture of her with her brother and family.

Randi was really pissed at a user using her personal photos on Twitter. She took to Twitter and responded to the user with some not so nice comments.

The woman responded back to Randi and apologized. She stated that since she's a subscriber of the feed, she (and hundreds of others) saw Randi's photo and wanted to share it.

Randi didn't see that. Although she accepted the apology, she made a snide comment afterwards.

Hence this little spat made the news. In all the fuss, the media made light of it and people labeled her a hypocrite for allowing Facebook to use pictures of others without their permission. And seeing that privacy was a major concern among parents, who's to say what's your and not Facebook's.

5) Privacy. As Randi saw it, her business isn't your business.

And that's a problem here on Facebook. With the new features on the social networking website, one could figure it's not that hard to keep your most important pictures out of the limelight.

Your job interview could go sour if the person who is doing the hiring searches on your Facebook profile and find some picture that find offensive.

You may support a political candidate but your business doesn't.

You trashed your former job, your former co-workers and your old boss. You bragged that you've gotten a job interview before you've got hired.

Your pictures of that last party where you're totally wasted.

It's all a part of the social norms you're going to regret when you post online.

Privacy advocates are trying to convince Facebook to make it harder for employers to search your profile and even obtain your passwords.

Some people are willing to take a huge risk in order to get a job. They'll allow the employer to search their profiles.

Cyberstalkers and cyberbullies love the opportunity to see a lapse in privacy. Some will steal your photos and use them for offensive themes.

6) Phony Profiles: We're only one person. Probably with the same name but different looks! Facebook has a rise of this problem. Since it's free to create a social networking page, Facebook can't stop the ongoing issue with fake profiles and bogus links to steal information.

Do you like a television show like Modern Family?

Did you like singers like Lady Gaga's Facebook page?

Did you want to post a comment on the "official" page of Labron James?

All of these profiles explained are created by their representatives to keep you informed about their appearances or events coming up! They rarely if ever be on the internet. Celebrities do have a Facebook page that stands alone without the glamour and glory. When you're on top, many want to take you down!

It's mostly MEN who create phony profiles of you!

Some men can't take "NO" for an answer! It's a famous quote for women who can't get rid of their ex-boyfriends or husbands.

Yes, this is a big issue! Some who create phony profiles never understand the consequences of it!

Some people have no lives so they'll try to ruin yours in order to make themselves feel better!

7) Breeding Ground For Hate Speech: I don't like you and your kind!

I'll create pages for hating you and those who think or look like you!

Etiquette is a theme that is commonly ignored on social networks.

When you have a disagreement with a person, do you let it go or do you jump into the fray?

Ideological changes in our society has pitted Americans into a colorblind mentality! If it didn't happen to me, why should I care?

I can tell you that there's more hate themed pages on Facebook. The freedom of speech allows these individuals to put up websites disparaging women, Blacks, Hispanics, those in LGBT community, those who practice in Christianity, Muslims or Jewish.

White supremacists and political junkies alike have taken to Facebook to vent off inflammatory rhetoric!

Many extremists online have personally vented off their hatred of President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Republican nominee Mitt Romney, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, and among others in the political arena.

8) Cyberbullying/Cyberstalking: I'm you or at least I'm pretending to be you!

I've had people use my photos without my permission. I had people create multiple Facebook profiles, YouTube profiles, Blogger pages with the intent to "shame" me, slander me and paint me to be something I'm not.

I want to make this clear: MEN ARE LIKELY THE ONES WHO ENGAGE IN THIS BEHAVIOR!

The cyberbully/cyberstalker creates emotional distress. The individual can ruin your reputation and cost you your job. Having someone posting your personal address and phone number in a fake profile is the ultimate insult. The cyberbully/cyberstalker invite problems by harassing you with personal threats and unwanted advances.

It's only funny, until someone gets hurt. And believe me it's getting worse on Facebook.

The legal ramifications are coming. Some are resulting to suing Facebook to subpoena the person who created the website.

Megan Meier, Phoebe Prince and Tyler Clementi were victims of not only bullying but cyberbullying and cyberstalking. Each of these individuals committed suicide.

9) Stock Price Tumble/Tax Breaks: The Facebook stock fail already signals the demise. When Facebook went public, many thought that this would be the new digital bubble. Alas, it wasn't!

Stock traded below the intended value and so far managed to keep above the average of $30.00 a share.

In shares, you could have $300 million if you play the stock market right!

And recently, Facebook came under scrutiny for getting a nine figure tax break. That $1.1 billion in earned revenue gave the social network $429 million.

Click it.

10) DCMA, Usage Of Pictures And Videos Without Permission: With the copyright being the center of social networking, you may end up posting someone else property on Facebook and it's likely going to have you paying royalties.

11) Who's Your "REAL" Friends: You are loved! You've felt the need to keep on adding friends. Friends of friends. People who are complete strangers. Wow, you're looking like a winner! Wait a minute!

Your best friend dropped you a friend. You sent an invite to a girl you like and she's not accepted your friend request. Oh wow, you didn't get invited to an event of a friend. Your friends missed your birthday and didn't like your important moments.

People usually get really riled up with friends dropping friends on Facebook. Somehow if you spurn someone online, it may come back to haunt you in the long run.

12) Crime: Only an idiot would post an unlawful act on Facebook. Yet, there's hundreds of people who do this. From the young woman who robbed a bank and posted on social networks to a person admitting he killed a person, Facebook is the bragging rights for criminals.

You go on a long vacation and have a picture of your home in the background. It's an invitation for a burglar.

People have the opportunity to look at a person's location marker to determine where they live or where they work.

It's like catnip to the criminals who figure since you're not at home! You bragged about having an Xbox, iPad, or Samsung digital television you got for Christmas. You leave for work or vacation and when you come home, it's gone.

13) Suicide: The most horrible thing in life is to lose a family member or a friend to a suicide. Like this is a common theme here with Facebook. It allows hate speech, cyberstalkers, cyberbullies and privacy invasions to occur online. Some people ignore it. Others let it drive them to death.

When MySpace was at its peak, Megan Meier hung herself. The young teenager killed herself after a former friend and her mother created a fake profile to lure the girl into thinking this was a boyfriend.

Phoebe Prince, a young teenager from Massachusetts killed herself after her tormentors bullied her at school and on Facebook.

Tyler Clementi was the Rutgers Student who committed suicide after his roommate and another woman broadcast online Clementi's relationship with another man to the college campus. The young man jumped off the George Washington Bridge because of it.

Facebook does create suicide for hundreds of individuals who felt the world is too cruel and they have no other option but to end it all.

In closing, Facebook also can inspire grassroots activism in the terms of suicide among those who use the website.

Many should understand the plight of Facebook and how it's impact has made social networking easier.

I say this with no regrets.

I'm taking an indefinite break from Facebook crowd. It's too much drama and I don't want to be in it!

Bush Whacked?

For a press conference, President Barack Obama invites his predecessors George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. All three presidents won reelection easily. Barack Obama is the current president.

The feds are looking into who hacked into the personal accounts of former president George W. Bush.

The Secret Service and local authorities are looking into who cracked the net to put the Bush families pictures out there without the permission.

The former president, his father, former president George H.W. Bush, his sister Doro Bush-Koch and brother Jeb Bush were all targets in this heinous attack.

The hacker goes by the name of "guccifer" and he turned over the pictures, emails and personal security codes to the public. The hacker is confident that they'll be more pictures and private emails released soon.

Now of course, this hacker forgot that even though Bush is long out of office, he has lifetime Secret Service protection. The family may request the FBI and Attorney General Eric Holder to look into the matter.

Yes, it's a serious matter.

The former president resides in Dallas, Texas with wife Laura. Last year, the Bush family announced that Jenna Bush-Hager is going to be a mom soon! This incident kind of throws cold water over all the good news.

His press representatives haven't commented on the matter but his sister was visibly upset about it.

“Why would someone do this? - Dorothy (Doro) Bush-Koch.

The pictures are obtained on The Smoking Gun. The pictures aren't that racy. It's a few of the former president's self shots in the nude.



Now of course, the concern from hacking into the Bush family also trickles down to the criticism against the former president and President Barack Obama authorizing drone strikes on individuals.

Concerns brought by a leaked memo to the press outlines President Barack Obama's frequent use of drones. When it was talked that the CIA will authorize a drone strike on Americans with ties to extremist, it lit up the internet kookspiracy about the president being a "tyrant and executor of American freedom".

And of course, calls for impeachment ring hollow like they've did on former President George W. Bush.

The "Blacks" Made Me Write A Book!

Bethany Storro Lies Down Black! Wakes Up Disfigured!

THIS BITCH LIED ABOUT BEING ATTACKED BY A BLACK WOMAN THROWING ACID ON HER FACE. NOW THIS WOMAN RETURNS INTO THE SPOTLIGHT BY WRITING A BOOK!

Bethany Storro the woman who fooled the nation with a racial hoax is coming back into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The young woman came to the spotlight for a tragic incident. In 2010, Storro put a powerful drain cleaner chemical on her face. The chemical burned a portion of her face.

She filed a police report stated that a Black woman came up to her and threw acid on her face without explanation.

This got play on the news networks and stirred up the bee's nest! Inside the White supremacist and conservative bubble, many were pissed that a White woman was attacked by Black thugs.

According to The Huffington Post, Storro told the police that a Black woman who waving around acid told her: "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?" and then the woman threw the acid on her severely burning Storro's face and upper body.

Storro's hospitalization and recovery touched millions around the world, inspiring them with her story of resilience and determination to overcome her injuries. Facebook fan pages and groups with names like "Pray for Bethany Storro" sprouted overnight, soliciting thousands of dollars in donations. An appearance on "Oprah" was scheduled.

The story didn't match up to what she told the police. When the FBI got involved and determined that the incident wasn't credible, she confessed that she made the whole thing up!

She claimed that in order to scorn a boyfriend, she would make up this story about her being attacked by another woman over her looks. She got donations from people across the nation to aid in helping her.

The chemical she put on her damaged 60% of her face and it left her permanently scarred.

Writing a book to explain how she blamed Black people for her tragic scarring. Bethany Storro managed to become one the nation's latest racial hoaxers after she faked an attack on a Black woman.

According to The Columbian, Storro was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression.  She had to wear a clear compression mask 12 to 15 hours a day to help heal her skin. While being interviewed by the newspaper, Storro said her doctor has told her that it could take as long as two years, but her red skin should return to her normal color.

She said she will have scars, but once her skin has healed she will be able to wear makeup.

Storro said she described her attacker as black because she figured that police wouldn’t be able to find anyone who matched that description.

She said she's also thankful her attorney worked out a deal with Prosecutor Tony Golik to spare her from spending time in jail or having a felony record.

She’s grateful for her pastor at Calvary Community Church, her family and close friends who have supported her these past seven months.

“I have awesome friends who have kept in touch with me, to make sure I’m OK,” she said.

She said that when she’s been in public, strangers have approached her but none with any unkind words.

Now that the controversy died down, she decided to make a little mula by writing a book about how her life spun out control. Bethany Storro is writing a book about the incident and how it changed her life.

The Daily Mail caught up with her last year and just recently reported that Facing The Truth is due out this year. The book will explain how her "mental illness" and need for attention led her to putting drain cleaner on her face. She explains how the legal justice system and international scorn had made here realize that "rock bottom" came and now she's ready to move on.

At age 30, Bethany Storro is now facing reality.

Many still figured that writing a book about her hoax is callous and she should have faded away like others who managed to fool the nation with racial tension.

Being a young white woman with mental issues managed to help her obtain nearly $30,000 in charity.

She had to return the money.

Storro wrote this book with co-writer Mona Kruger, a writer and burn survivor based in Portland, Oregon.



My commentary from two years ago about the woman.

Slumlord: Voted For Obama, Face Consequences!

Apartment landlord wants tenants to pay higher rent if they've supported President Barack Obama.

The Fair Housing Authority and Better Business Bureau will investigate this controversy. I can assure you that your threats toward the working class will be your downfall.

Republicans and their conservative allies are so frustrated with the election, some will take actions to defeat the Democrats and their progressive allies.

Before we get into the story a few things:

In Michigan, the Republican state governor Rick Snyder will sign the laws that makes union-stronghold Michigan a right to work state. The legislation will make Michigan, another member of the Rust Belt states devoted to breaking up the unions.

In the media, conservatives are threatening boycotts upon MSNBC. Liberal agitators Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton, Chris Matthews, and Lawrence O'Donnell were meeting with President Barack Obama. The president wants to get his message out there and he felt these guys were effective.

Jamie Foxx is under fire for making comments about "killing White people" and "how Black is that"? On SNL (Saturday Night Live), Foxx monologue has gotten ire from conservatives as being "racist" for the fact that entertainer would say such words.

Bob Costas wraps it up by stating his support for gun control. After reading an article from another sports writer about the culture of firearms and athletes, the longtime sports anchor made the comments on national television. Conservatives and the National Rifle Association have went to arms over that comment. Some are calling for him to be fired.

This and many incidents such as the one explained today will be a reason for the Democrats and their allies to have an aggressive campaign. The mistakes of the 2010 Midterm elections gave the Republicans control of the House of Representatives and many state/territorial governorships. These Republican governors have passed legislation that has brought upon voter identification laws, drug testing for safety nets benefits, rollbacks on safety nets benefits, limitations on voting times, redistricting political districts to give Republicans an advantage, rejecting federal funds for infrastructure and of course not accepting the Obamacare federal law.

The president's trouncing of perennial loser Mitt Romney has be devastating to Republicans. Many small businesses and companies want to take repercussions upon the American worker because of this.

In Colorado a landlord wants his tenants at his Casa Adobe complex to fork over more cash to live if you're a supporter of President Barack Obama. KRDO-TV an ABC affiliate station reports that Dr. John Obringer of B & J Enterprises sent out a letter to his tenants at the Casa Adobe Apartments on Wednesday.  The letter was addressing cutbacks on staff and maintenance issues.

"Due to the stupidity of the U.S. electorate, the Obama-administration's continued assault on small business is resulting in increased taxes, regulations and mandates that are forcing the management company (B&J Enterprises, Inc.) for Casa Adobe Apartments to modify its operation to survive.  This has resulted in layoffs, work-time reductions and decreased pay for workers.  Consequently, the business hours are now Monday and Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.  Please plan accordingly ... We are working hard to maintain the field, cleaning and maintenance personnel in place without raising rents, but that too is inevitable due to the upcoming inflation and market forces," writes Obringer.

"If you have any questions, comments or criticisms, please call me. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and Happy Holidays to you and yours," continues Obringer.

Then he added, "BTW: If you voted "Democrat" on Nov. 6, please notify me ASAP so I can raise your rent first to help pay for what you asked for."

Landlord John Obringer threatens tenants.

"I think it's wrong.  That's your constitutional right to vote for who you want," said a tenant who wished to hide her identity.

She went on to tell KRDO News Channel 13 that Obringer had already threatened to kick her out for voting for President Obama.

But her neighbor, who also wished to hide her identity, came to Obringer's defense.  "It's just John.  He's kind of a quirky landlord," she said.

So far, the tenants said nothing has changed.  But the future is up in the air.

Obringer refused our requests for an on-camera interview.

Now you're the stupid one, sir!

Woman Post Crime On Social Media!

Post this on Facebook. Young woman charged with bank robbery! She bragged about her crime on social networking websites.

Bored teenager does one of the dumbest things that a person would ever do! From the most stupidest to the most craziest! If you post something on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, you're giving caffeine to the world.

KETV Channel 7 has reported the most dumbest person to ever commit a crime.

One in particular is the one who gotten the late night comics attention.

With my racks! - Hannah Sabata

Nebraska authorities arrest teenager Hannah Sabata of Stromsburg, Nebraska.

She isn't the most smartest person to ever walk this earth right now! She admits that she stole a car and then robbed a bank. What's the most damning is the fact she goes to YouTube to post a video saying that she's done it.

You won't be smiling when they give you 25 years in federal prison!

York County Sheriff Dale Radcliff said a copy of the video will be turned in as evidence against the 19-year-old was later arrested on Wednesday in connection with a robbery the day before at the Cornerstone Bank branch in Waco. She faces robbery and theft charges.

The video was posted the same day Sabata was arrested. It shows a woman holding handwritten signs that say she robbed a bank and stole a car. The woman then holds a large bundle of cash, what she says is $6,256, in front of the camera.

She also holds up what appears to be a bag of marijuana.

The video caption says, "I just stole a car and robbed a bank. Now I'm rich, I can pay off my college financial aid, and tomorrow I'm going for a shopping spree."

The woman in the video explains herself as a victim of the government -- how authorities took her baby before she could take the baby home, charging the woman with neglect.



Sheriff Dale Radcliff told KETV NewsWatch 7 several people helped identify and arrest Sabata before authorities watched the video online.

Investigators said they found the cash, sunglasses, a pink backpack and license plates from the stolen vehicle in Sabata’s house, which were seen in the bank’s surveillance video.

Radcliff said Sabata also bragged over the phone.

This story is assured for a website that is very critical of this type of behavior.

Israeli Defense Spokesperson Mocks Obama In Blackface!

An Israeli spokesman for the Defense Force made himself the butt of ridicule and brokered more hostility between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama. Netanyahu, the conservative leader of the country of Israel has been at odds with the president over the tensions with Iran and the recent cease fire of the Palestine territory of Gaza. Hamas, the conservative Islamic faction of government and Israel are at odd once again over blockades and sanctions. The United States declared Hamas, a terrorist organization.

Now you would think that Israeli would respect President Barack Obama. Alas, they don't!

ABC News Report that one of the Israeli military’s most visible spokesmen is under fire for a photo he posted on his Facebook page captioned “Obama style” in which his face is smeared with mud.

Sacha Dratwa posted the photo in late September, but since the furor he has restricted access to his account. A screengrab of the original post circulating online showed that it drew mixed reactions, with one commenter saying, “You know this is racist, yeah?”

In the photo, Dratwa appears to be smeared in mud from the Dead Sea, a popular activity for many visiting and living in Israel. Dratwa responded to a user on Twitter accusing him of racism saying, “I’m not a racist, please stop [spreading] lies about me.” He also posted a response on Facebook saying the firestorm around the photo misrepresents his opinions and is a “cynical use of the information” on his profile.

“I am, and have always been, completely candid about my beliefs and have nothing to hide,” wrote Dratwa on Sunday. “The aforementioned photos do not reflect my beliefs and have no bearing whatsoever on my position in the IDF.”

Dratwa, 26, is originally Belgian and heads the Israeli Defense Forces new media desk, active in engaging Israel’s supporters and critics on social media. The IDF’s Twitter account and various web sites were regularly updated during Israel’s operation “Pillar of Defense” against Hamas in the Gaza Strip last week, distributing the latest numbers and highlighting Israel’s efforts not to kill civilians.

“What we try to do is to be fast and get information out before the old media,” Dratwa told Tablet Magazine last week. “We believe people are getting information from social media platforms and we don’t want them to get it from other sources. We are the ones on the scene, and the old media are not on the scene as are the IDF.”

The IDF declined a request to comment.

When Max Blumenthal did an investigative video about Israeli sentiment of President Barack Obama, some of the people who were interviewed were saying pretty racist and disrespectful things about him.

Israel is the center of most of the Middle East conflict. The Muslim nations are tired of the United States allying with Israel at their expense.

Texas 99!

23 year old mother of five, Elizabeth Escalona was sentenced to 99 years in prison for child abuse. This type of punishment will sound alarms with the Supreme Court over cruel and unusual punishment.

God damn it's cruel and unusual punishment for some individuals who are sentenced for crimes. In the state of Texas, there's a governor who isn't ashamed of the death penalty. He tried to run for president and got slaughtered by a perennial candidate for higher office. This governor once labeled the perennial candidate a "flip-flopper" on issues such as this one!

God damn this Texas Justice is a bitch!

And this one doosy!

A mother in Texas was sentenced to 99 years in prison for child abuse. She beat her child and then super glued her hands together and then to a wall after the child wasn't compliant to her mother's demand for potty training.

The mother of five is Hispanic and the judge was White and jury was likely the same.

CNN reports that the Texas mother who super-glued her 2-year-old daughter's hands to a wall and beat her over potty training problems was sentenced Friday morning to 99 years in prison, a Dallas County felony records department district clerk said.

Elizabeth Escalona, 23, will be eligible to ask for parole in 30 years. She pleaded guilty in July to a charge of first-degree injury to a child, a crime punishable by anywhere between probation and life in prison.

"This mom was pure evil, and her children are better off without her," prosecutor Eren Price said after a judge delivered Friday's sentence. "Her five kids now have a chance to lead a productive life."

Escalona’s attorney said that the sentence was excessive and that an appeal would be filed, CNN affiliate KTVT reported.

Former GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry, governor of Texas.

Escalona's daughter Jocelyn Cedillo was less than two months shy of her 3rd birthday in September 2011 when Escalona used a powerful adhesive to glue her hands to a wall and beat her because of potty training troubles, authorities said.

Three other children belonging to Escalona, who was pregnant at the time, witnessed the abuse, according to Dallas County district attorney's office spokeswoman Debbie Denmon.


The child urinated on herself during the ordeal, during which she was hit in head and kicked in the groin, among other forms of abuse, Denmon said.

Oefelia Escalona, the defendant's mother, testified during her daughter's sentencing hearing this week that she found the girl and took her to a hospital. Once Jocelyn was there, medical authorities noticed severe bruises to her face and head, as well as a severe brain injury that led to her temporarily being in a coma.

At this week's sentencing hearing, prosecutors showed pictures of Jocelyn's hands and bruised body and forehead.

"The entire picture was very shocking," said Dr. Amy Barton, then a child abuse pediatrician at Children's Medical Center of Dallas, choking back tears on the stand on Monday. "I see a lot of children, and this was one of the most shocking cases that I have seen."

Escalona asked for leniency during her sentencing hearing this week, saying she behaved like a monster but deserved a second chance, KTVT reported. Her mother asked the judge to sentence Elizabeth to probation, according to KTVT.

Price initially offered a plea bargain of 45 years in prison, but Escalona turned it down, the district attorney's office said.

Price said that the judge, after learning more about Escalona during the hearing, was justified in sentencing her to more time.

"Elizabeth Escalona wasn't sorry for what she did to 2-year-old Jocelyn. Elizabeth Escalona felt sorry for herself," Price said. "Those tears on the stand were for her and not for the toddler she tortured."

An attempt to reach Escalona's attorney for comment Friday was not immediately successful.

Before this incident, Escalona had been investigated by Texas Child Protective Services but never arrested or charged, Denmon said.

The child welfare agency put all of her children in foster care after Jocelyn was taken to the hospital. All five of them, including Jocelyn, are now in the custody of their grandmother, Oefelia Escalona.

The sentencing of Elizabeth Escalona is a ringing bell to how our U.S. justice system treats Blacks and Hispanics.

I understand this isn't the parent of the year, but this sentence is begging for an appeal and national look into how the justice system works against Blacks and Hispanic/Latinos.

This young mother of five should have at least gotten less than 10 years in prison for such an act. The mother didn't murder her child. That's the problem. If she murdered her child, yeah lock her ass up!

Texas is one of the most conservative states in the central plains. The southern state allows firearm owners to carry in open public. The state's governor Rick Perry, former presidential candidate is proud of giving the death penalty to those who commit acts that involve killing of individuals. There's likely no clemency to those who are charge in crimes that are felonious.

Ex-Cash Money Rapper Freed From Prison!

The golden age of hip-hop music, Cash Money Records. Juvenile (top left), Turk (top right), The B.G. (bottom left), and Lil' Wayne (bottom right) were known as the Hot Boys. They released solo albums under the label. 

Kiss the sky, rapper Turk. You're free!

Tab Virgil, Jr. is a New Orleans based rapper who was part of the golden era of Cash Money Records. The rapper assisted Lil' Wayne, veteran rappers B.G. and Juvenile as a member of the hip-hop group The Hot Boys.

Turk (age 30) released his debut album under the Cash Money label in 2001. His album Young & Thuggin' featured rappers Bryan "Baby/Birdman" Williams, Lil' Wayne, west coast rappers Mack 10 and T.Q. and featured production from then in-house producer Mannie Fresh.

It went on to become a gold album. At the age of catchy southern beats and hip-hop wordsmiths, Turk was one of the veterans of New Orleans hip-hop.

After a fallout with Cash Money, Turk went independent.

During his streak of independence, the rapper was caught up in a federal crime. The rapper was arrest in an attempted murder charge. According to MTV News, in 2004, Hot Boys rapper Turk was charged Wednesday (January 28) with first-degree attempted murder for allegedly shooting two Memphis, Tennessee, police officers in a Monday raid.


[He was then a 22-year-old rapper] when he was arrested and being held on $1 million bail at the Shelby County, Tennessee Jail.

One of the wounded deputies, 29-year-old Chris Harris, was shot in the jaw, hip and leg and remains in critical condition at the MED medical center following extensive surgery. The other, 31-year-old Jason Pagenkopf, was shot in the neck and has since been released.

The incident began around 2 p.m. on Monday, when a dozen Shelby County narcotics and SWAT officers served a search warrant for drugs believed to be inside an apartment in the Hickory Pointe community in southeast Memphis, according to public information officer Steve Shular.

Turk spent nearly a decade in prison for a gun crime.

After no answer from knocking on the door and identifying themselves, the officers entered and began searching the apartment. Turk then allegedly shot at them with a 9 mm handgun. A small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, including spoons and syringes used to inject heroin, were found.

Two other people who were in the apartment at the time were questioned Wednesday, but they will not be charged, according to Shular, who said there is evidence the bullets came from Turk's gun.

"Until the facts come out, he is innocent until proven guilty," Turk's manager, Leroy Hollins II, said in a statement. "As his manager, I know he does not have violent tendencies to commit such an act. This is another case of a good person being in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Turk, who hails from Metairie, Louisiana, near New Orleans, has an arrest history involving narcotics, Shular said, and Monday's incident was a violation of a parole mandate on the rapper.

Lil' Wayne surpassed Elvis in mainstream hits. 

The district attorney ruled Turk a possible flight risk and will not allow him to return to Louisiana unless he posts bail. Turk's case is also being reviewed by the United States attorney's office for additional firearms charges.


Turk was in Memphis recording tracks for his upcoming album and working on remixes for his latest disc, August's Raw & Uncut, according to his manager.

After being discovered by the Cash Money Millionaires in the late '90s, Turk joined the Hot Boys, whose last album, Let 'Em Burn, was also released last year. The rapper released his first solo album in June 2001.

The rapper was sentenced to ten years on a firearm charge and violating his parole for a drug conviction.

In 2006, he entered an Alford plea in Tennessee state court to second-degree attempted murder, based on the same incident, and was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment.

The B.G. is spending 14 years in prison for a federal gun charge.

According to Wikipedia the term Alford plea is basically, "I'm guilty but I didn't do it" plea.

Now as a free rapper, many in the hip-hop community are getting first dibs on the exclusive interview with the rapper.

SOHH reports, the rapper was excited to leave prison and he was planning on returning back to the music. He also thought of writing an autobiography about his time in prison. The usual word salads of a ex-convict.

I can't say much for his former labelmate, B.G. these days! The former Cash Money star is in prison for a federal crime as well. A few years ago, B.G. was arrested in New Orleans after police pulled over his Chevrolet Tahoe for a routine traffic stop. It is rumored that he was leaving the home of his girlfriend in Uptown New Orleans when he was stopped by the police in New Orleans.

During a search of the vehicle police found three guns, two of which were reported stolen. Police also found loaded magazines and two extended clips. B.G. was booked into the Orleans Parish Prison on an illegal carrying of weapons charge. B.G. appeared in court on November 5 and his incarceration and bond information are unknown to the press at the time. On February 11, 2010, he appeared in court and entered a not guilty plea. On July 18, 2012, B.G. was sentenced to 14 years in a federal prison for gun possession and witness tampering.

Lil' Wayne served a year in prison for gun and drug possession charge.

Juvenile is awaiting trial for disorderly conduct after a fight in a nightclub in Miami. He also is a delinquent parent. He owes a lot of money for child support.

Juvenile was Cash Money's first successful artist. He help pushed the rap label into the mainstream. Juvenile has venture on as an independent artist. Lil' Wayne hopes to reunited the Hot Boys once again. 

Cash Money started as a Southern based hip-hop label with the main acts of Juvenile, The B.G., Lil' Wayne, Turk. When they collaborated together on albums, they've called themselves The Hot Boys. They also were aided by The Big Tymers. The Big Tymers were created by co-founder Bryan Williams who goes by the rap name Birdman and producer Mannie Fresh. They emerged in the late 1990s with hit singles like "I Need A Hot Girl", "Back That Azz Up", "Go DJ" and "Bling Bling".
The label has became more pop friendly by adding the late legendary singer Teena Marie, producer Jazze Pha,  Canadian rapper Drake, radio host DJ Khaled, Trinidadian/New York rapper Nicki Minaj, Los Angeles rapper Tyga, veteran rapper Busta Rhymes, rock group Limp Bizkit, newcomers Jay Sean and  Kevin Rudolf.

Other members of then and now who signed to Cash Money included west coast rapper Mack 10, Bow Wow, Mystikal, Young Buck, Omarion, 2 Pistols, Boo & Gotti, and Curren$y.

It was founded in 1991 by Ronald "Slim" Williams and Bryan "Baby/Birdman" Williams. The label is a part of Universal Republic Motown Entertainment Group.


I am guessing that the system is more harsher to Blacks and Latinos. The crime rate for men is high especially in the Black community. It's told that if you have a family member in prison, your child is likely going to be in prison for a crime as well. 

For those who aren't aware of the prison system. State charges carry automatic sentences that could be appealed. A federal sentence must be served without merit. There's no appeals to a federal crime. A violent gun crime is automatic 15 years to life. Murder carries either life or death. Homicide can carry 5 to 20 or life in prison.

Drug charges are based on potential. Marijuana, mushrooms, synthetic drugs and crack are the lowest charges. Depending on circumstances you can get six months to a year for possession. Manufacturing or selling could carry from a year to ten. Cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin are the most serious charges for drugs. If you're in possession or charged with these type of drugs, they count as a violent offender crime and could carry from 5 years to 20 years or life.

Dirty Politics Stink!

Vandals spread manure over an Obama Headquarters in Ohio!

Boy, I'll tell you what! I'll forever etch in stone my disgust towards the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement.  They're playing dirty and I really mean dirty politics!

I'll respect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan if they win this election and become the leaders of the United States. I will not say words that instigate division such as "I hope he fails"! The same comments made by one Rush Limbaugh!

I will say that race is always been a factor!

From Matt Drudge to Sean Hannity, with Andrew Breitbart and Sarah Palin added, I'll say the race-baiting was the factor to Mitt Romney winning this election.

I can assure you that the liberal agitators will seek revenge against the Republicans and become even worse than Rush Limbaugh and his fellow conservative agitators if President Barack Obama should lose!

I'll conclude that White men are intimidated by the rising demographics of women, people of color, those who are gay and those who practice in Islam.

Nonetheless, we're in the phase of political haywire. In the all important swing state of Ohio a bunch of jackasses spread horse manure around the Warren County, Ohio Obama for America/Democratic Headquarters.


Volunteers at the Warren County Democratic headquarters say they are shocked and disappointed by a political prank played on them early Tuesday morning.

Someone dumped a pile of horse manure in the parking lot of the headquarters building on U.S. 42, just north of Lebanon.

Warren County Democratic chair Beth Goldenfield tells Local 12 that the pile was dumped in the parking lot, blocking the entrance to the building, sometime between 10 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Tuesday. A report was filed by the party with the Warren County sheriff's department.

Goldenfield says no one has claimed responsibility for the prank.  She says this election cycle has been "very contentious", and says an unprecedented number of party signs have been stolen leading up to today's incident.  Goldenfield goes on to say, "It's really unfortunate that people can't have respectful disagreements... We're not going to be discouraged by it. It's just very disappointing. It will probably motivate our people even more but it's also a very disrespectful thing to do."

The building does have security cameras. Goldenfield says the building landlord cleaned up the mess, and the party will not have to pay for the cleanup.

Romney Told Hurricane Victim To Go Home And Call 211!

Mitt Romney meets Governor Bobby Jindal (R-Louisiana).

Fresh off the nomination, Republican Mitt Romney wanted to upstage President Barack Obama. He visited the Republican Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal and they toured the damaged regions near Slidell. The city of Slidell is close to New Orleans, and this area was heavily damaged by flooding.

The Republicans wanted to paint Mitt Romney as a caring human being who shows compassion towards the middle class. It appears Mitt Romney put his foot in his mouth yet again.

According to the Huffington Post and Associated Press,  Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney launched the final leg of his quest for the White House by visiting storm-battered Louisiana on Friday. He drove through a town that was flooded by Hurricane Isaac in part because it's still outside the vast flooding protection system built with federal funds after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans.


Romney, who chatted with a handful of storm victims and shook hands with first responders, didn't have too much to say. "I'm here to learn and obviously to draw some attention to what's going on here," Romney told Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who he accompanied to the Jean Lafitte town hall to meet with emergency workers. "So that people around the country know that people down here need help."

That snippet of conversation represented the bulk of Romney's public remarks in Louisiana on Friday.

His host, Jindal, is now calling on the federal government to expand the rebuilt flood protection system that prevented serious flooding in New Orleans during this week's storm. That system, built after flooding from Katrina devastated much of New Orleans, cost the Army Corps of Engineers $14.5 billion. It doesn't extend as far as Jean Lafitte, which is situated in Jefferson Parish, and has been affected by a series of hurricanes, including Katrina, Rita, Cindy and now Isaac.

                

"It is absolutely critical that the Corps, and certainly our delegation working them, but that the Corps and the federal government look at those other levees," Jindal said Thursday. Lafitte is included in a proposed ring levee that the state hopes to build, but there are no concrete plans to build yet.

Romney was silent on whether, as president, he would support paying for such an expansion. Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, has proposed eliminating $10 billion a year in disaster spending and requiring Congress to pay for emergencies by cutting from elsewhere in the budget. That proposal was blocked by GOP leaders.

Hurricane Isaac is blamed for at least six deaths in Louisiana and Mississippi. It submerged hundreds of homes, forced thousands of others to evacuate and cut power to nearly half of Louisiana's homes and businesses.

Romney didn't speak to reporters as he toured Jean Lafitte on Friday. The Romney campaign refused to say whether he would support additional funding for the levees, saying only that the GOP nominee "recognizes the importance of disaster prevention and would seek to ensure that we have the infrastructure we need to keep all Americans safe."

Jindal did explain the issue to Romney as they climbed into the Republican nominee's SUV and began their tour.
      
"It (the levee system) performs well, but the areas here — the other areas ..." Jindal said, trailing off because Romney jumped in.

"Are outside, outside that levee system," Romney said.

Romney's motorcade, including trucks equipped to drive through high water, edged gingerly down Jean Lafitte Boulevard, a main road.

Accompanied by National Guard vehicles, the caravan inched through water that at some points was a foot or more deep, submerging gas stations, flooding homes and covering front laws. Residents stood in the water and watched the motorcade pass.

Flood protection was clearly on the minds of residents. A man who waved a neon yellow sign reading "Mitt is Our Man" wondered why levees had not been able to protect the low-lying areas of this fishing community.

"It has really destroyed us," the man said to Romney after the motorcade stopped on the side of the road. "I don't know why we can't come up with something that saves all."

Up the street, a giant pink sign hung on the balcony of a flooded house. "Where is our levee protection?" it read.



Romney shook hands with National Guardsmen outside the U.S. Post Office and talked with a local resident, Jodie Chiarello, 42, who lost her home in Isaac's flooding.

"He just told me to, um, there's assistance out there," Chiarello said of her conversation with Romney. "He said, go home and call 211." That's a public service number offered in many states.

Chiarello said she will likely seek some other shelter because her home was submerged in the flooding. She expressed frustration about the town's lack of flood protection.

"We live outside the levee protection that's why we get all this water because they close the floodgates up front and all they're doing is flooding us out down here," she said. "It's very frustrating, very. We go through Katrina and Rita and now we're going through Cindy, Lee and now Isaac."

Romney's last-minute visit, announced less than 12 hours after he became the Republican nominee, took him to the disaster area ahead of his Democratic rival, President Barack Obama. The president was following with his own visit to Louisiana on Monday, the White House announced.

Romney went at Jindal's invitation, his campaign said. Jindal, a Republican, told reporters Romney had been in touch several days ago to ask how he could help with storm relief and Jindal suggested Romney come down and see the damage for himself. He said he had extended an invitation to Obama as well.


White House spokesman Jay Carney, asked what a private citizen like Romney could accomplish by visiting a disaster area, said he wasn't sure how to answer the question but that drawing attention to the affected area was "important."
            
Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said Romney's visit could focus people on "the needs of the affected region, particularly the need for charitable donations and resources to aid relief efforts."

Back in Washington, Democrats seized on the trip to accuse Republicans of supporting cuts in federal disaster funding that the Gulf Coast will now need to recover from Isaac.

"It is the height of hypocrisy for Mitt Romney and (Congressman) Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) to make a pretense of showing sympathy for the victims of Hurricane Isaac when their policies would leave those affected by this disaster stranded and on their own," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), in a written statement.

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana) said she welcomed Romney to her home state but pushed him on disaster funding.

"I hope as he witnesses recovery in action, he will reflect upon his party's approach to funding disaster response," she said. "Had the plan advocated by his running mate Congressman Paul Ryan and Congressman Eric Cantor prevailed, there would be no money readily available to provide assistance for this, or any other disaster."

Fox News Outs Navy Seal [Spy]!

Fox News vindictive agenda lead to a ex-Navy seal name being leaked. The Navy Seal was a participant in the successful Osama bin Laden raid in Pakistan.

The raid in Abbottabod, Pakistan that lead to the killing of the chief mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks was killed. President Barack Obama announced on May 1, 2011 that he order the Special Operations Units with assistance from the CIA to go into Pakistan to track Osama bin Laden. This was a huge political gamble. If President Obama would have failed in the mission, the Republicans would forever tarnish him as a failed president. Of course, he's called a "failed president" by his chief rivals. This event came around the time Mitt Romney and his former rivals were preparing to attack the president on matters such as foreign affairs and national security.

Now that this argument is off the table, the political novice team of Romney/Ryan are trying to focus only on the economy. They have no foreign policy experience. But that hasn't stopped them from complaining about the so-called leaks that are coming from the White House.

Republican legislators are trying to investigate classified documents in regards to the computer virus that crippled the Iranian nuclear program.

They're angry that the media found out that the president has been more aggressive in capturing or killing al-Qaeda operatives such as Abu Yahya al-Libi, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, Sheik Saeed al-Masri, and Hamza al-Jawfi  and American born Anwar al-Awlaki. They claim the president has a "kill list" it's zeroing in on American born al-Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn-Yahiye and leader Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri.

President Barack Obama gets no praise from any Republican on foreign relations. They can't give him credit for the successful raid that ended the life of the world's most dangerous terrorist. They figured that former president George W. Bush deserved most of the credit.

While this is now a political football, a former Navy seal decides to write a book outlining his experience in one of the world's most clandestine military operation. TheNavy seal "Mark Owens" wrote a specific account of the events that led to the killing of bin Laden.

Even though he decided to write the book, the conservative media is outraged over the fact that the president played his cards. The Republicans figured that people aren't impressed with his handling of the economy, so he'll figure out distraction to keep them busy. They think foreign affairs shouldn't be on the table.

Fox News has a vendetta against the president, Vice President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama, MSNBC and those who support them. The network figured since this guy is writing a book about the successful raid, they wanted to sabotage him by leaking his name to the public. The Associated Press was first to get the name of the operative who wrote the book. Under the Freedom of Information Act, a news organization could obtain the real name of the person that could affect the security of the country.

Fox News reported that the former Navy SEAL who wrote the book "No Easy Day" under the pseudonym Mark Owen is 36-year-old Matt Bissonnette.
                   
Supporters of al-Qaeda condemn the author and called for his death.

Bissonnette could face charges if he revealed any classified information that could jeopardize the capture of Adam Gadahn-Yahiye and Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri.

President Barack Obama's administration is very serious about leaking to the press. Bradley Manning, the first class U.S. Army private is facing life in prison for leaking. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is facing a rape charge in Sweden and possible indictment by Attorney General Eric Holder for releasing information that is could put the lives of the U.S. Military at risk.

Bissonnette is from Alaska and he was one of the men who was had a camera showing the successful raid.

*Why I say "iron college"? The term iron college is mentioned when a celebrity is in trouble for a crime and are ordered to go to jail!

Stockton, CA: Help Us Congress! We're Going Broke!

            

American mayors in major cities are demanding progress. Mayors are trying to revitalize their communities and the Congress is relativity screwing up with funds to help! The Republican controlled House of Representatives are delaying votes on the job/infrastructure and student loans bills. The Democratic Senate has went to bat on these issues only to have filibusters from Senators John Barrasso (R-Wyoming), Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina).

The Republicans won't vote on any bill without domestic austerity cuts. The Democrats won't concede to spending cuts to domestic programs. The Democrats are trying to wake up the public by saying the Republicans are intentionally trying to destroy the economy to get back into power.

Stockton, California, a community that's between San Francisco and Sacramento is going to be filing for bankruptcy if the Congress doesn't pass federal funding for the city.

California legislators have worked all they could and now Governor Jerry Brown is calling upon Congress to step in to prevent the city from being literally broke.

With nearly 300,000 people, Stockton could become the first American city with a major population to ever declare bankruptcy. According to the Associated Press, to plug next year's anticipated $26 million shortfall, the proposed budget would suspend payments for debts and legal claims, reduce payments for retiree medical benefits, further cut some pay and benefits, and increase revenue through code enforcement and parking citations.

The unemployment rate has doubled in Stockton over the past decade and now hovers around 16 percent. One-fifth of residents live below the poverty line, and the city has twice topped Forbes magazine's list of "America's most miserable cities."

Under a bankruptcy filing, officials would retain power over day-to-day city operations and staffing, but a judge would take over all decisions concerning the city's debts, said Robert Benedetti, professor of political science at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.

The judge would decide which creditors should be paid, how much and in what order. He would make allowances for expenditures needed by the city to function, and it would be up to city officials to decide how to spend that money.

"One of the reasons a city might want to go the bankruptcy route is that they don't want a situation where they have to pay out debts and have to close the police or fire department," Benedetti said. "Filing for Chapter 9 means you're asking the court to protect you against lawsuits from people who hold your debt."
Stockton's bankruptcy would make it the largest city by population to file for Chapter 9 protection, according to Jim Spiotto, a Chicago bankruptcy lawyer who tracks such cases. He said Bridgeport, Conn., was the largest city to file for bankruptcy, which it did in 1991, followed by Vallejo, Calif., which filed in 2008.

Ohio Man Smashes Taco Bell After Screwed Up Order!

Michael Smith caught a craving of anger when he smashed his vehicle into an Ohio restaurant.

                                        
In Dayton, Ohio, a young man gets a craving for Taco Bell. When he was screwed out of a taco, he decided to take his frustration out on the business. He goes H.A.M. into the front door of the business.

Michael Smith 23, was at the restaurant during its late night hours, he order his Doritos Loco Tacos. But when he found out it was missing one, he got upset. The staff went ahead to correct the order, and gave the man his taco. But in spite of him getting his taco, he let his anger go right into the building.

According to WHIO-TV, a CBS affiliate, Smith was charged with felony vandalism, is set to go directly to a Montgomery County grand jury, the Huber Heights Police Department said Tuesday evening.

Police were dispatched to the restaurant at 6500 Chambersburg Road in the suburb of Huber Heights, at about 12:16 a.m. on a report of a crash there. Employees told police that a white male in a white truck had struck the building and fled east.

Police arrived to find that a vehicle had crashed into the customer entrance on the south side of the building, and they were able to track a fluid trail from that truck to an address on Pintail Court, according to the department.

Smith admitted to police what he had done, and they took him to the county jail. He was released on bond.

“I'm not sure what his motivation or mindset was, but he was obviously not very happy,” Steven Mizer, the general manager of the restaurant, told News Center 7.
