Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson is under fire for using the government credit card to buy some luxury goods for the Washington, DC office.
Carson, Tresuary Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and EPA chief Scott Pruitt are maxing out their credit cards. Our taxpayer money is the sugar that helps the medicine go down.
Carson used his HUD connections yo buy a hefty priced dining room set.
The White House isn't amused about this controversy.
Carson was talking smack about how the poor shouldn't get used to it is spending lavishly on his own personal expenses.
A whistle blower who got demoted tipped the junk food media. She claimed that Carson was angry she refused to participate in the lavish spending.
Carson only had a budget of $5,000.
The New York Times said Carson spent $31,000 on a dining room set while he and HUD was set to cut programs for the homeless, the elderly, the poor and needy.
The Guardian reported that lounge furniture costs totalled $164,000.
Trevor Noah of The Daily Show took Carson to Bullshit Mountain.
Ohio State Patrol trooper was a big time drug lord.
Looks like the Ohio State Patrol had a rogue trooper in their midst.
Jason Delcol was a big time d-boy. He wore the badge and managed to pull off an elaborate scam. It was the scam to traffic narco while doing selective pullover.
U.S. Attorney Benjamin Glassman believe the trooper deliberately used his position of power to move narco without any care of the consequences.
The former OSP trooper and give other individuals were indicted in federal court on trafficking charges.
According to NBC4i, the OSP has fired this trooper out of the cannon. The individuals will face a federal courtroom. These charges could put this crime empire in the federal time out for LIFE.
Arrested were Stevedore Crawford, 55, Nicholas Glassburn, 47, of Delaware, Ohio, Carlos Carvalho, 42, of Sandusky, Ohio, William Covrett, 41, Jason Delcol, 43, Benjamin Owings, 37, of Delaware, Ohio and Stevedore Crawford, 55, of Delaware, Ohio.
According to the US Attorney’s office, all of the defendants are charged with possession with intent to distribute and distribution of controlled substances, as well as conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribution of controlled substances.
Glassburn, Carvalho, and Covrett are also charged with money laundering.
Delcol and Owings each face an additional charge of possession with intent to distribute and distribution of human growth hormone. Delcol is charged with one count of witness tampering, as well.
The investigation into Glassburn started in June of 2017.
The investigation identified others believed to be sources of the supply of drugs trafficked by Glassburn, including an active law enforcement officer – Delcol – who was receiving drugs from and providing drugs to Glassburn and at least one other individual, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Drug lords busted in a statewide arrest. One is a Ohio State Trooper.
“According to the affidavit, Delcol has used his position as a law enforcement officer to provide Glassburn with information, intervene in criminal cases of Glassburn and Owings, provide Glassburn with ballistic vests and corroborate Glassburn’s alibi to law enforcement when Glassburn was caught transporting drugs in August 2017,” U.S. Attorney Glassman said.
Investigators discovered communication between defendants about drug trafficking, including HGH, testosterone, Xanax, Oxycodone, Percocet, Adderall, Suboxone, cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana.
The investigation also showed Glassburn owed $17,000 to Carvalho for marijuana. It is believed that Delcol provided ballistic vests to Glassburn, which he used in meeting with Carvalho. The investigation revealed that Carvalho is likely one of Glassburn’s main sources of supply of drugs, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Investigators said Delcol visited Glassburn’s home at least 16 times since October. He was in uniform and driving a highway patrol cruiser at least two of those times. They are accused of discussing trafficking of HGH, testosterone, Xanax, Percocet and other opioid pills.
According to investigators, Delcol acted as a middleman between Glassburn and Owings.
Delcol and the individuals I choose not to name were indicted by the U.S. Attorney on the grounds of distributing with the intent of selling heroin, methaphanamine, cocaine and oxycotin.
Delcol probably set up Black motorists. His pullovers will come into question.
The New York Times report that White House Communication Director Hope Hicks is fired out the cannon.
The lolita of the White House was chosen to replace Anthony Scaramucci.
Hicks resigns a day after the House Intelligence Committee hearing.
The longest and most loyal associate to Donald J. Trump, Hicks was supposed to make the message campaign in favor of him. She hasn't lost her credentials yet.
Her resignation is a blow to Trump. According to reports, Hicks admitted that she was required to tell "white lies" when Trump ordered her to.
Her ex boyfriend, Rob Porter also was fired out the cannon. He was accused by two ex wives of sexual abuse and domestic violence.
Hicks is under federal watch. Robert Mueller is considering her as a material witness in the Russia investigation.
Hicks was considered one of the many mistresses in Trump's harem.
This is a huge story. To see this happen gives you thoughts that Trump and Mike Pence will not be honest about their role with Russian operatives.
DACA is still on the agenda of the inept Congress. The Supreme Court rejects the Trump team's attempt at pulling safety measures from DACA recipients.
Last month, Jimmy Kimmel invited six supporters of Donald J. Trump to talk to a nurse who is a recipient of former president Barack Obama's DACA order.
The nurse with her child and her American husband try to resonate with the six but it didn't really matter to them. They saw her as an illegal immigrant and despite coming here to the United States at an early age, they believe she should go back to Mexico.
Congress still struggling to find a solution to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. In less than five days, many recipients could be deported if Congress fails at passing something.
Republicans have pressured Democrats to support their proposals. One of their proposals is to authorize funding for Donald J. Trump's border wall.
Trump wants a border wall. He vows to oppose any immigration reform bill that doesn't include his controversial border wall.
The border wall he said Mexico was going to pay for will cost $25 billion in American taxpayer funding.
However, the DACA recipients are still struggling for a solution.
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case for now. The Trump team admits they weren't prepared. The order eases some pressure of those who could lose everything if they are deported.
Trump gave six months for Congress to find a solution.
So far, the Republican controlled Congress has one thing on their minds, win reelection.
Dick's Sporting Goods pulls AR15 and AK57. They will raise the age of purchase to 21. Conservatives are looking their minds.
Dick's Sporting Goods announced that they will no longer sale assault weapons like the AR15 in their stores. They found out the Florida terrorist who massacred 17 people was a frequent shopper.
The sporting goods store has decided to take action in the wake of the latest mass shooting in the United States. They will pull assault weapons and make it mandatory for buyers to be over 21 years old.
They will ban high capacity bullets and bump stocks as well.
The CEO of Dick's, Ed Stack was touched by the mass shooting. He said that his company shouldn't give terrorists an opportunity.
"We know there's gonna be some backlash... We concluded that if these kids are brave enough to organize and do what they're doing, then we should be brave enough to take this stand."
This will also affect Field & Stream, a sister company to Dick's.
Conservatives threaten to boycott the company.
This comes in the wake of a national boycott against the National Rifle Association. The gun lobbyist group continues pressure Republicans into doing nothing about gun violence.
They have aggressively attacked the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The right has targeted some of the students for their passionate calls to replace lawmakers who take NRA money.
The pressure is on Amazon, FedEx and Roku to drop the NRA.
The son in law of Donald J. Trump will not have clearance to top secret documents. He was demoted after he couldn't clear federal vetting.
Jared Kushner gets some bad news. His clearance was revoked after reports of his contacts with foreign entities became a liability.
Word got out that Kushner could be exploited by Russia, Mexico, China, the United Arab Emirates and Israel. He was considered a loose cannon when it comes to secrets.
The issue gotten more attention when knothead John Kelly ordered White House staffers without clearance out of the loop.
Kushner had read top secret memos. He also could be implicated in the Robert Mueller probe of Russian meddling in the election.
He, Donald Trump, Jr. and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn were in contact with Russian operatives.
Kushner is under federal watch.
H.R. McMaster was really concerned that Kushner would spill state secrets to get business contracts.
Kushner was on interim clearence to see documents but he couldn't see top secret memos or documents in regards to national security and investments.
Kushner is married to eldest daughter Ivanka Trump. She is a special adviser to the White House. She has no clearance to top secret documents also.
The new logo without Papa John's. The company took a hit after its founder made an offensive comment about Black athletes. John Schnatter stepped down in January. The NFL ends it sponsorship.
The National Football League and the third largest pizza company end their partnership. The eight year partnership ends after the pizza company's founder made inappropriate comments about the league and its players taking a knee to social injustice.
John Schnatter, the founder of Papa John's Pizza was Donald J. Trumps biggest backer. He was very supportive of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the rollbacks of the Affordable Care Act.
Schnatter was very vocal about the NFL not taking action against players who refuse to stand for the national anthem. When Colin Kaepernick started this movement to protest police officers killing unarmed people of color, the right twisted it into an attack on the police and military.
Trump said that people like Kaepernick and others should have been fired out the cannon. He wanted NFL owners to get these "son of a bitches" off the field.
The NFL took a nosedive in ratings because of the controversy.
NFL players have voiced concern that their right to speak out against injustice is being silenced. The conservative fans boycotted the NFL believing its losing support because people don't like protesting. The Black Lives Matter Movement have also boycotted the league because of the double standard. They feel that Kaepernick was railroaded by the owners. Kaepernick still hasn't played since his release from the San Francisco 49ers.
A big mouth left a gaping hole in the bottom line. John Schnatter hurt his business after talking smack about the NFL and Black Lives Matter.
Papa John's saw its revenue take a hit and Schnatter blamed the NFL.
Well his comments were out of line. Soon he found himself under fire for that.
Many said that his comments came off as racist. He also encouraged the alt-right to support his rhetoric. Many felt that Schnatter's remarks damaged the brand.
Now he stepped down as the CEO this month and his successor, Steve Ritchie is trying to save the company from fading from existence.
The loss of the NFL is big. That means the company loses out in revenue sales during the NFL preseason, regular season, playoffs and the Superbowl.
Now the 22 NFL leagues that still affiliate with Papa John's will continue on but the NFL logos and sponsorship will end.
Also bad news continue for the Papa John's company. The University of Louisville Cardinals were stripped of its NCAA standings and its 2013 national title.
Papa John's based out of Louisville, Kentucky is also the official sponsor of Cardinals basketball. They will now lose revenue cause of this too.
Better pizzas without the bigotry.
S.B., I'll take a DiGiorno's Pizza. It's better pizza and it's made at home.
Trump's buddy Steve Wynn won't get a role in the White House. He is now under federal watch for shady business and sexual abuse allegations. He stepped down from the RNC money train and his casino and hotel company.
The former CEO and chairman of Wynn Resorts and Casinos is now under federal watch for allegations of rape and quid pro quo.
Wynn Resorts face lawsuits and a federal audit after the shareholders felt they were cheated by the actions of the disgraced business mogul.
Steve Wynn resigned from the Republican National Committee's campaign fundraising this month.
Wynn a huge backer of Donald J. Trump was accused of sexual harassment and sexual abuse towards his female workers. He forced most of them into sexual relationships in order for them to get promotions. If they rejected his advances or didn't provide him the satisfaction, he would fire them out the cannon.
Now Wynn is facing an accuser from his past. This accuser claims he raped her and she would end up giving birth to his baby.
Another woman claimed that Wynn fired her out the cannon after she rejected him trying to kiss her. He ordered her to have sex with him. The accuser didn't want to sleep with Wynn. So he fired her out the cannon.
Wynn claims that this is an orchestrated hit job on him by his ex-wife.
Wynn is not the only Trump supporting celebrity in hot water.
Scott Baio has three accusers. His former co stars from his days on Charles in Charge accused him of sexual abuse and rampant harassment.
Media mogul Ryan Seacrest under fire. He is being accused by his former stylist of sexual abuse. Expect more accusers.
Will he be on the red carpet for the Oscars?
Ryan Seacrest, the host of American Idol and co host of Live! with Kelly & Ryan is in some real deep shit right now. His former hairstylist is coming forth with allegations of sexual harassment and abuse.
He also has a contract with E! Network, the sponsoring network covering the Oscars Red Carpet Show.
Suzie Hardy accused Seacrest of unwanted sexual aggression, grinding his erect penis against her while he was in his underwear.
Suzie Hardy comes forth to tell Variety that Seacrest abused her for years.
He grabbed her by the pussy. He slapped her on the booty so hard, it left a welt.
Since her departure from E!, Hardy has left the entertainment industry and now works for a San Francisco-based tech company. Seacrest — already a ubiquitous host and powerful television producer at the time that Hardy worked for him — has seen his star continue to rise. Last year, he became the new co-host of Kelly Ripa’s widely watched ABC daytime talk show, renamed “Live With Kelly & Ryan.” This year he is returning to the role that launched him to national notoriety as host of “American Idol,” currently filming in Los Angeles and set to premiere in March on ABC. His production company has an overall deal with ABC Studios.
Ryan Seacrest joined Kelly Ripa in 2017. Live! with Kelly and Ryan have surged in ratings.
Hardy sought therapy in the years since leaving “E! News.” (“I’ve seen every shrink in town,” she said.) Hardy felt emboldened to raise the issue of the alleged abuse she suffered — first in private with E!, then speaking to Variety after Seacrest made the allegation public and the cable channel’s investigation was completed — as she saw coverage of disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo movement begin to dominate the news cycle. She was shocked and insulted when, following the E! investigation, the Hollywood Reporter published a guest column under the headline “What Happened After I Was Wrongly Accused of Harassment,” in which Seacrest wrote that “an independent third party found the claims to be unsubstantiated and that there was no evidence of wrongdoing on my part.” The E! statement said that the investigator found “insufficient evidence.” Seacrest’s assertion that no evidence of wrongdoing was presented further encouraged Hardy to speak out about the experience that she had only discussed privately during her E! years.
“I came from a freelance life, and it was scary,” she told Variety. “It was hard to raise a child and not know where your next check was going to come from, and if that gig was going to take me out of town for two weeks. It was a better deal all the way around, even if I was being abused. It’s sick to say, but it was true.”
Seacrest hosts Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve with SiriusXM host Jenny McCarthy.
Hardy claimed she had taken this abuse for years and she reported Seacrest to human resources. Her employment ended soon after.
Variety exclusively obtained a copy of a November letter and spoke on multiple occasions with Hardy and her attorney. The letter is a well detailed.
It outlines numerous incidents of harassment and assault allegedly perpetrated by Seacrest over the years she worked as a stylist.
Seacrest also works for E! Network in regards to being an executive producer of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. He also has contracts with iHeartMedia to promote his syndicated radio program. He also has a role at Dick Clark Productions for Rockin' New Year's Eve with Jenny McCarthy and Fergie.
All of this could be gone.
Remember the #MeToo Movement. It was really effective in ridding the world of sexual abusers Matt Lauer, Bill O'Reilly, Kevin Spacey, Charlie Rose, Al Franken, Roy Moore, LA Reid, R. Kelly and Harvey Weinstein. It will claim Seacrest if other women come forth.
Ensa Cosby passed away. Her father, Bill Cosby may ask for delay in his sexual abuse trial.
The daughter of a washed up actor passed away.
Ensa Cosby passed away. Cosby's second youngest daughter gave inspiration to Vanessa Huxtable played by Tempestt Bledsoe. The Cosby Show was a hit sitcom in the 1980s and 1990s. The show was inspired by the family values of the African American family.
Cosby died in Massachusetts after having renal disease and kidney failure.
She was a yoga instructor, mother and wife. She was survived by her husband Martin McLean. She also leaves behind children.
Her father and mother will ask for privacy during this time.
Bill Cosby, the disgraced comedian and accused sexual abuser may ask for a new date. He was to be retried again for allegedly raping a woman back in 2004. He was acquitted of the charges because the prosecutor had a weak offense.
Andrea Constand accuses Cosby of putting quaaludes in her drink while having dinner with him. She accuses him of sexual assault and kidnapping.
Cosby's wife Camelle stands by her husband despite the nearly 70 accusers ranging from their marriage to present day.
Cosby is attempting at making a comeback despite the public wanting him to disappear.
In 1997, Cosby's only son Ennis was shot and killed by an 18 year immigrant who tried to jack his ride. The suspect was given LIFE in the iron college.
Washed up actress files a bid for Congress. Mid-life crisis.
The former Fox News host, conservative agitator and actress Stacey Dash has decided to run for the 44th U.S. Congressional District of California.
Her opponent, Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragan (D-CA) is ready to fight. She thinks that Dash is truly "clueless" when it comes to her district.

Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragan (D-CA)

Dash, 51 is hoping to capitalize off the success of Donald J. Trump, a former actor, entertainer, media and business mogul. He is currently the most inept leader of the United States.
Dash is bleaching her skin.
S.B, I thought we heard the last of her.
Alas, she still is actively trolling for attention.

The first attack on the World Trade Center happened on this day.
The World Trade Center bombing happened 25 years ago. Before 9/11, there was the first attempt at taking down the World Trade Center. Seven men who were hell bent on taking down the global markets in their support of al Qaeda.
The attack happened around 12pm where a box truck was placed in the parking garage of the North Tower. The intention was take down the building and have it crash into the South Tower.
Ramzi Yossef, Eyad Ismoil, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal A. Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin and Ahmed Ajaj were inspired to destroy the World Trade Centers by Osama bin Laden and Yossef's uncle Khaled Sheikh Mohammed.
The blast failed at gutting the building. It killed six people who were in the vicinity of the blast.
The attack would strengthen security around the towers. The towers lasted until September 11, 2001 when al Qaeda called upon 20 men to hijack commercial airline planes to crash into the World Trade Center. The four planes crashed at the Towers, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The fourth plane was supposedly aimed for the U.S. Capitol or the White House.
The fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin happened this day.
Trayvon Martin fatal confrontation with George Zimmerman. This would spark the Black Lives Matter Movement. On this day, a Sanford, Florida man killed a teen in a gated community. He managed to beat a murder charge.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain spotted Martin in his gated community. There was a confrontation and then a shooting.
Martin was killed and Zimmerman claimed self defense.
It took three months to try Zimmerman for the charges. He had the backing of Fox News, Alex Jones, the NRA, talk radio and Rick Scott, the governor of Florida.
The so called Stand Your Ground law helped Zimmerman prove even though Trayvon Martin was unarmed, he died.
Now Florida has some of the looses gun laws. The Parkland school shooting and Orlando nightclub shooting were prime examples.
Trayvon, the people of Pulse Nightclub and Stoneman Douglas High School suffered for the reckless laws of Scott. The NRA and Scott face harsh criticism for allowing gun violence to continue.
