The embattled rapper once again faces deportation after he was arrested for felony theft by deception.
According to TMZ, 21 Savage has a charge stemming from a failed concert booking in 2016 in which the prompter paid the Atlanta rapper $17,000 for a performance he never followed up on.
The promoter then decided to file a complaint with the law to get him placed in lock up again.
So therefore, he is back in a predicament that could have him removed from the United States.
The rapper confirms that he was born in the United Kingdom. He was brought to the U.S. when he was 7 years old and overstay his VISA.
Early in February, the rapper was detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was placed in federal time out in lieu of being quickly sent back.
The rapper has three children born in the U.S. and had he gotten deported, he would never be able to visit his children.
The rapper born She'yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph is in the Liberty County lockup awaiting trial. His lawyers say that this issue will be resolved quickly.
Jay-Z's influence helped big time. The media mogul hired the rapper a high powered attorney to help get a "get out of jail" card.
In an interview taped earlier this week and aired Friday on Good Morning America, the rapper spoke out against the nation's immigration enforcement, called it "broken" and added he fears he could be deported. The Grammy-nominated musician was freed from the county lockup.
The rapper also face criticism for "hiding" his nationality. He denies that.
"I knew I wasn't born here," he told Robin Roberts. "But I didn't know like, what that meant as far as when I transition into an adult, how it was going to affect my life."
Heather Nauert pulled from rotation. She was doomed from the start. She wanted to be UN Ambassador.
The search is on for a replacement for cannon fired U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley hit a snag. The replacement decided to take her name out the running. A scandal's afoot.
Heather Nauert, former State Department spox was chosen to be the UN Ambassador. She was considered a bad choice from the start. Given she has no world experience and her days as a Fox News agitator were considered a problem from the start.
Nauert was picked by Donald J. Trump in December after Haley was fired out the cannon.
Her name didn't make even into the Senate.
"I am grateful to [Donald J. Trump] and Secretary Pompeo for the trust they place in me for considering me for the position of US Ambassador to the United Nations. However, the past two months have been grueling for my family and therefore it is in the best interest of my family that I withdraw my name from consideration. Serving in the Administration for the past two years has been one of the highest honors of my life and I will always be grateful to [Trump, Pompeo] and my colleagues at the State Department for their support."
Trump will make a new choice soon. It will be another disaster in the waiting.
Before joining the State Department, Nauert employed a nanny who was in the United States legally but was not legally allowed to work, a source familiar with the matter and an administration official told the folks over at CNN.
Nauert disclosed the nanny when she filled out the paperwork for the UN position. When it became apparent in the past week that nanny would become an issue. Nauert decided to step away because "she was not aware of how tough it was going to make it."
Nauert became State Department spokeswoman in April 2017.
Nauert would be embarrassment on the world stage. For one thing, she was a contributor to Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival. She appeared on Fox & Friends, a favorite program for Trump. She would push kookspiracy stories about Muslims.
She hosted an hour long special, Terror from Within, a documentary that featured anti-Muslim activists. She also made the accusation that Muslim-based schools in the United States were radicalizing children to the so-called jihad.
Nauert's bigotry would have caused tensions with Muslim nations. Matter of fact, she would have been considered a problem for the African Union and Arab League. There are members of UN who are Muslim and they do condemn terrorism and bigotry.
Nauert may return to Fox News or find another outlet to spew her venom.
The National Football League and Colin Kaepernick could eventually settle their feud. The football star still not signed to a team has filed a grievance against the league claiming that his protest against actions against people of color sidelined him.
Kaepernick drew national attention after he kneel during the national anthem. It became one of the many issues in the Great Culture War.
It drew criticism from law enforcement, Republicans and even imbecile Donald J. Trump.
Trump referred to Kaepernick and those who kneel as "crooked sons-of-a-bitches."
Now Kaepernick could walk away with $80 million after a settlement was reached with the NFL.
Kaepernick, a free agent claimed that there was collusion. He said that NFL owners were plotting behind the scenes to keep him off the field. They claimed that he was being blacklisted by the league.
Roger Goodell, several owners and two NFL executives were desposed and ordered to turned over all relevant phone records and emails in relations to Kaepernick's case against the NFL.
Another Kaepernick critic found himself losing the battle as well.
Prime Time Sports is going out business after 21 years of business. The owner Stephen Martin announced on Monday that he is closing his store. He said that his protest against Kaepernick and Nike destroyed him.
People weren't coming into his business after he decided to hold a boycott of Nike because they made Kaepernick a spokesman for the shoe company.
Last September, Martin began slashing the price of his Nike stock after the brand used an image of Kaepernick for its famous "Just Do It" campaign.
Prime Time Sports goes out of business. Trump-supporting owner admits his boycott against Colin Kaepernick was a dumb idea. Now he's forced to scrap his business.
Nike's shares are up because of Kaepernick and it seems to be doing just fine.
Martin on the other hand has decided to close his Colorado Springs store.
The store canceled an autograph appearance with Brandon Marshall following his decision to take a knee during the national anthem.
Martin who claims to not be "racist" faced controversy long before the Kaepernick situation.
There was a place in Beavercreek, Ohio that made the news as well. The owner of Beef O'Brady's decided to not air football games in the wake of Kaepernick and NFL players kneeling.
The restaurant closed in 2018 and was converted to a Wingz restaurant.
The owner, Bill DeFries found himself on the losing end of the controversy as well. He was forced to sell his business after the protest.
Conservatives, here's a reminder to you! Don't get on the wrong side of history.
YNW Melly and his crew got busted for murder. His career is likely over.
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't bring back the dead or heal the wounded. If you say, "my heart goes out to...." you're being condescending. Only family, friends, and those who knew the victims have the right to address them. You can't. You're just trying to make people feel good with platitudes.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
I am very annoyed with people using GOD as an excuse to condone gun violence. GOD is not fixing this. There's is no GOD. Only man and woman. Those morons in Washington, DC can't pass a simple law that requires universal background checks. Because they're afraid of the National Rifle Association.
The NRA is a white nationalist organization that lobbies politicians and media agitators into supporting more guns on the street. They want to restrict Black, Brown and Muslims from obtaining access to firearms. They blame video games, rap music and the "hood" as the reasons to why they're in favor of gun rights for whites people. They want to restrict our use when we're in our home, our vehicle and defending ourselves. Cops see Black people more of a threat.
Rappers who follow the code, usually end up in the iron college.
21 Savage at least proved to the world, he's an entertainer, not a gangsta. Reminder, 21 Savage is on federal watch for not registering as an immigrant. He confirms he was born in the United Kingdom.
Up-in-coming rapper is forced to retire after he was placed in the custody of the U.S. Marshals. He was busted for an allegation of murder.
Oh by the way, it's Florida. Yes, the state that elected that racist, Ron DeSantis as its governor. A governor who is just as corrupt as Donald J. Trump.
YNW Melly (born Jamelll Demons) was caught on Wednesday and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with two deaths back in October. He shot two aspiring rappers who were once his close friends. He was booked into the Broward County lock up.
The rapper lived in Gifford, near Vero Beach moved to West Palm Beach to get his music start.
Demons was the second man arrested in connection to the murder of YNW Sakchaser (born Anthony Williams) and YNW Juvy (Chris Thomas, Jr.). The other man placed in the county was named as YNW Bortlen (born Cortlen Henry).
The two men were killed in a drive-by shooting.
The two might want to get a good lawyer. They are facing either LIFE or DEATH if convicted of first-degree murder. The two men are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The mixtape, We All Shine was released in Janaury and peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard U.S. charts. The album featured Kanye West.
A career already ended. For what?
Stupid disagreements that led to gun violence. Now YNW Melly and YNW Bortlen need a $5 million get out free card to at least get their music out to the streets before they spend their LIVES as interns of the Florida iron college.
The West Virginia woman who worked for community development called Michelle Obama an ape in heels. Now she's got a federal sandwich.
The West Virginia woman who called Michelle Obama an ape some years ago got caught up.
Here's a reminder of what this horrible woman said about M.O.
"It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House. I'm tired of seeing a (sic) ape in heels."
We can only laugh at the irony. Not really, it's unfortunate that things like this happen but these are the times in Donald J. Trump's America.
Okay, Pamela Taylor plead guilty to defrauding the Federal Emergency Management Agency out of nearly $20,000 in funds. According to the U.S. Attorney, Mike Stuart, Taylor admits that she falsely registered for FEMA disaster relief after a flooding in Clay County, West Virginia.
Sources tell the junk food media, that this is the same Taylor who was reprimanded for posting a racist post about Michelle Obama in 2016. She was suspended from her position for a few weeks before returned to her job.
In the FEMA embezzlement case, investigators says Taylor claimed that her primary residence was damaged by the flood. She also claimed that she stayed in a rental unit after the flood.
As it turns out, according to investigators, Taylor's home wasn't damaged and she was still living in the residence.
Karma.
Taylor could face up to 30 years in the federal time out. She will face a $500,000 fine for her antics.
In 2016, the Elk River flooded the Mountain State. Over 20 people lost their lives to the flood.
Just in case some want to respond to this posting, I want you to click on the link that I provided for you. I am getting tired of this troll who reads our blog and constantly posting bullshit on our blog.
I am working on having this troll banned from this blog and I am engaging with Google to work on a solution.
This troll claims me and S.B are worshiping Barack and Michelle Obama. Funny stuff.
No I don't worship man or a GOD. I don't go to church. I do respect the Obamas though. They ignore trolls. In a way, I hope Michelle Obama found this story in her email or social media. It sure will make her chuckle.
A real national emergency: Gun violence in the United States. This one in Aurora, Illinois. Workplace massacre.
This evening, Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and the 18 U.S. Representatives will do the usual song and dance.
Thoughts and prayers.
Great job by law enforcement in Aurora, Illinois. Heartfelt condolences to all of the victims and their families. America is with you!
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't bring back the dead or heal the wounded. Those who say "their hearts goes out to..." have no heart. They don't know the victims.
Manufacturing warehouse the scene of the latest mass shooting.
Only those who are family, friends and co-workers know the victims. And if you're throwing you ridiculous notions to ask GOD to fix this: Guess what! GOD Ain't fixing this.
Okay, Aurora, Illinois, a city with 224,000 residents, due west of Chicago is the scene of the latest mass shooting. Only one year ago, Parkland, Florida was the scene of a mass shooting.
If there was a need for a national emergency, this would be it.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This time in Aurora, Illinois. The suspect was caught. Who deserves the blame? (Expect the dumbest answers being picked by trolls)
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Six people have been confirmed dead in this Friday shooting at the Henry Pratt warehouse
The shooter was a Black terrorist who was laid off from his position. I guess he decided to take his revenge on those who let his sorry ass go.
The terrorist allegedly opened fire inside the warehouse just before 1:30 pm (CST) fatally shooting five people including those inside and law enforcement.
The terrorist managed to flee the scene but was shot by the law after he tried to reload.
Family of the terrorist said that he was disgruntled. He worked for the company for 20 years and lost his job two weeks ago.
We can't work in peace.
It's unclear how many civilians were wounded in the shooting, but it was reported that dozens of individuals were shot. The police officers who were shot and those who shot the terrorist weren't identified at the time.
The workers at a manufacturing warehouse in the Illinois city of Aurora were beginning to wind down their week when a gunman opened fire Friday, beginning a chaotic rampage that ended with five victims dead, five police officers wounded and a shooter killed by cops.
The first 911 calls came to Aurora police around 1:24 p.m. CT, with callers saying there was an active shooter at the Henry Pratt Company, which says it is one of the United States' largest manufacturers of industrial valves.
An employee at the company, John Probst, told CNN affiliate WLS the shooter was a co-worker and had a pistol.
"He was shooting everybody," Probst said.
The terrorist was a laid off worker. He decided to take his frustrations on co-workers and law enforcement.
Probst told WLS there were about 30 people in the building at the time of the shooting. Probst said he and a coworker escaped through the back door. Probst said a nearby resident allowed him and his coworker to shelter in a home.
Four patients went to hospitals in Aurora, medical officials said. The chief said two wounded police officers were taken by air to trauma centers in Chicago, about 40 miles to the east.
Aerial video from the scene just after the shooting showed scores of police vehicles outside the neighboring companies. The response included at least six ambulances and six firetrucks.
After the incident, police also put up crime scene tape near the Alro Steel Company.
When will we see an end to gun violence in the United States?
Iconic shoe store Payless heads to the pearly gates.
While Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency for a stupid border wall, we just got word that a major retailer is closing up for good and it will leave thousands of workers out of a job.
Payless Shoe Source is gone. Another major retailer has filed for Chapter 7 liquidation and will close all its stores in the United States and Canada. This will put possible 45,000 employees out of a job.
That includes the distribution center in Brookville, Ohio. That distribution center has been in place for nearly 10 years.
This is going to hurt the fashion industry. This is going to hurt the bottom line.
Payless filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and closed nearly 500 stores. The retailer has nearly 2,700 stores in North America.
There is a small chance that Payless could rescind its decision. They are looking for a buyer who is willing to buyout the company and pull it from the brink of disaster.
However, the liquidation option is still on the table and it looks forward to close up all stores.
Malls and stand alone stores will take the hit. There are locations in the Dayton region. There is a distribution plant in the area. It's the Midwestern regional center and it will likely leave another hole in the rust belt city.
Toys "R" Us and The Bon-Ton Stores are among the retailers that have disappeared from the retail landscape in the last 12 months.
So much winning in Trump's America.
Women wear shoes. I mean that place sold sneakers, boots, athletic shoes, dress shoes and accessories.
This adds to the list of other companies that shuttered or filed for bankruptcy.
GAP, Gymboree, Things Remembered, Crazy 8 and others fell victim to the Retail Apocalypse.
Kellz is going to likely be served if allegations are true.
The Chicago Police and FBI are looking into the matter of a sex tape that Michael Avenatti handed to them. It contains a clear depiction of the embattled singer Robert Sylvester Kelly having sex with an underage teen.
The lawyer for Stormy Daniels is now going after R. Kelly.
Prosecutors are now going to investigate the 52-year old singer. Avenatti told CNN that he obtained a VHS tape showing that the singer had engaged in sexual act with a girl who was allegedly 14 years old.
CNN has seen the tape and will not show the tape.
Avenatti, who is representing a man who he calls a whistleblower told him the story and made him take the tape to the Cook County State Attorney's Office last weekend.
"My client knows the identity of the girl and R. Kelly. He identified the two of them on the videotape. He worked for and known R. Kelly for decades and he met the girl on a number of occasions," Avenatti said.
The new footage will be the nail in the coffin for the embattled singer. It was told that Chicago Police ordered him and his crew out of his studio. He was ordered by the court to operate his studio between 9am and 5pm on weekdays only. He was ordered to stay out the studio after 5pm and on weekends.
A local junk food media reporter caught the singer and his bodyguards exiting the studio after hours.
The video footage has 43 minutes and it is clear and explicit.
There are two scenes on the video: one apparently in a living room and another in a bedroom. A naked man who appears to be R. Kelly is seen performing multiple sex acts with the girl. She is heard calling him "daddy" multiple times.
Avenatti vows to take down Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh and R. Kelly.
It is impossible to know her age from the video. They both refer to her "14-year old pussy." Six times the girl refers to her genitalia as 14 years old.
At one point the man in the video urinates on the girl.
More than a decade later, the indefatigable Kelly chronicler Jim DeRogatis has reported in the New Yorker that a "videotape from … R. Kelly's past may soon lead to his indictment in Illinois," Avenatti tweeted on Thursday that he is in possession of a 45-minute "VHS videotape of Mr. Kelly engaging in multiple sexual assaults of a girl underage" and that "the time frame of sexual assaults depicted in the video is within the Illinois statute of limitations." Given my belief that Kelly is a serial child predator, it was heartening to read that, per DeRogatis' law enforcement source, "Kelly could be arrested soon." And given my reporting in 2008, I was very interested to see that DeRogatis' story referenced one Charles "Chuck" Freeman.
In the New Yorker piece, DeRogatis reports that Freeman claimed in a 2002 lawsuit that he'd been hired by Kelly's private investigator "to track down any videotapes related to Kelly that might be 'on the streets.'" DeRogatis goes on to mention that press-conference-that-never-was during Kelly's 2008 trial, as well as the fact that "what became of any other videotapes [that Chuck and Keith] might have found remained a mystery."
While DeRogatis didn’t reach Chuck and Keith, he did speak with Lisa Van Allen, who also told her story in the recent Lifetime docu-series Surviving R. Kelly. In her conversation with DeRogatis, Van Allen—who says she started a relationship with Kelly when she was 17—referred back to her allegation that Kelly would carry around a duffel bag full of sex tapes and said, again, that she removed a tape from Kelly’s bag because “I just didn’t want that tape out there.” She told DeRogatis “that prosecutors never seemed all that interested in the tape, even though a second video showing Kelly with an underage girl might have led to a conviction.”
One of Kelly’s lawyers memorably refuted Van Allen’s duffel bag claim during the 2008 trial, saying that Kelly does not “carry around a bag full of porno tapes like he was a porno Santa Claus.” And as DeRogatis notes, Kelly’s manager released a statement after Van Allen testified in 2008 stating that “Lisa Van Allen is an admitted thief and a liar, who wouldn’t know the truth if she tripped over it.”
If prosecutors are indeed now in possession of another Kelly sex tape, it seems likely that—given the publicity generated by DeRogatis’ persistent reporting, the #MuteRKelly movement, and Surviving R. Kelly—they will be very interested in it. It also feels more likely than it has at any time since 2008 that we'll finally hear from the elusive Chuck and Keith, either in a press conference or a court of law.
The imbecile listened to the most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media.
Today, Donald J. Trump announced he will sign the compromise to keep the government open. However, he will announce he will issue an executive action to fund the border wall.
He will declare a national emergency and he will demand government funding from other organizations.
Trump set a precedent. He just allowed the future leaders elected to the White House to dictate executive orders.
On Friday declared a national emergency to unlock billions of dollars in federal funds to build a wall on the southern border, bypassing Congress after lawmakers refused to meet his multi-billion dollar request for border wall funds.
For weeks, the President and his top officials had argued that there is a "crisis" on the southern border. Democrats pushed against that argument, saying there's no security crisis but rather a humanitarian one.
According to federal data, Customs and Border Protection apprehended nearly 400,000 people along the Southwest border in fiscal year 2018, an increase from 2017 but a decrease from 2016. Many of those apprehended were claiming asylum.
Trump on Friday reiterated his claims of an "invasion" of drugs and undocumented immigrants at the southern border, but offered little factual or statistical evidence to back up his claim that a national emergency exists.
announced his national emergency declaration during a rambling performance in the Rose Garden where he bragged about the economy, touted progress in his talks with China, vented about media coverage of his presidency and insisted his negotiations with North Korea are bearing fruit.
Sean Hannity tossed the idea.
"It's been signed many times before. It's been signed by other presidents from 1977 or so. It gave the presidents the power," Trump said. "There's rarely been a problem. They sign it, nobody cares. I guess they weren't very exciting."
But at the same time, the President undercut his case about the existence of a national emergency and the urgency of building new barriers on the US-Mexico border.
"I didn't need to do this," Trump said. "But I'd rather do it much faster."
Democrats and activist groups will almost certainly challenge the declaration in court, as critics pre-emptively argued that Trump cannot use the national emergency to free up taxpayer funds and build the border wall he has long promised his political supporters.
Trump declared the national emergency even as he agreed to sign a spending bill from Congress that allocated $1.375 billion for the President to build 55 miles of new fencing. The additional executive actions he is undertaking aim to redirect more than $6 billion in federal funds toward the construction of hundreds more miles of border barriers -- bringing total funding for the wall to nearly $8 billion.
"We don't control our own border," Trump claimed. "We're going to confront the national security crisis on our southern border and we're going to do it -- one way or the other we have to do it."
Heartless-----killed a Cleveland man after she went on a bad date with him. She robbed him and went on the lamb for two months before the feds found her.
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't bring back the dead or heal the wounded. It's just meaningless platitudes and of course a distraction from action.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Garfield Heights Police nabbed a geeker who killed a man she met on social media. After a bad date, the geeker killed him in a botched robbery. The city of Garfield Heights is a part of the Cleveland, Ohio area. The geeker killed the man in December. She was caught today.
Remember folks, dating websites are fun and you could find your match. But I must caution you that you need to know that potential match. You must know that match, "day and night."
This horrible woman met a man on POF.com (Plenty of Fish). The woman and the man went on a date and had a good time. A few nights later, the man didn't hear from her.
After them two days, the horrible woman managed to break into the home of the man and tried to rob him. He put a fight and she put the work in him. She shot him with no remorse and left him for dead.
She took his cellphones, guns, a gold Honda Accord and a digital television before booking it.
His mother who was supposed to visit him at the home found her son lying unconscious and bleeding a the bottom of a basement stairway.
The victim identified as Meshach Cornwall was killed and this horrible woman is being held in the Cuyahoga County lockup. Cornwall grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands before he settled in Cleveland.
POF is a part of InterActiveCorp, a group that owns Tinder, Match, Chemistry, HowAboutWe and BlackPeopleMeet.
The Garfield Heights Police quickly arrested this horrible woman and placed her in the lockup.
She is on a $3 million get out free card. She is also watched for the possibility of going out like a punk.
She had been on the run for nearly two months when authorities finally closed in Wednesday night when US Marshals arrested Graham at an address in the 19600 block of Fairmount Boulevard in Shaker Heights.
Pretty stupid.
The charges could put this woman in the iron college for LIFE. She could be at risk of getting the DEATH card.
These two were examples of what the FBI warns about online dating. The FBI released a bulletin about the dangers of online dating.
These criminals—who also troll social media sites and chat rooms in search of romantic victims—usually claim to be Americans traveling or working abroad. In reality, they often live overseas. Their most common targets are women over 40 who are divorced, widowed, and/or disabled, but every age group and demographic is at risk.
Here’s how the scam usually works. You’re contacted online by someone who appears interested in you. He or she may have a profile you can read or a picture that is e-mailed to you. For weeks, even months, you may chat back and forth with one another, forming a connection. You may even be sent flowers or other gifts. But ultimately, it’s going to happen—your new-found “friend” is going to ask you for money.
So you send money...but rest assured the requests won’t stop there. There will be more hardships that only you can help alleviate with your financial gifts. He may also send you checks to cash since he’s out of the country and can’t cash them himself, or he may ask you to forward him a package.
So what really happened? You were targeted by criminals, probably based on personal information you uploaded on dating or social media sites. The pictures you were sent were most likely phony lifted from other websites. The profiles were fake as well, carefully crafted to match your interests.
In addition to losing your money to someone who had no intention of ever visiting you, you may also have unknowingly taken part in a money laundering scheme by cashing phony checks and sending the money overseas and by shipping stolen merchandise (the forwarded package).
In another recently reported dating extortion scam, victims usually met someone on an online dating site and then were asked to move the conversation to a particular social networking site, where the talk often turned intimate. Victims were later sent a link to a website where those conversations were posted, along with photos, their phone numbers, and claims that they were “cheaters.” In order to have that information removed, victims were told they could make a $99 payment—but there is no indication that the other side of the bargain was upheld.
While the FBI and other federal partners work some of these cases—in particular those with a large number of victims or large dollar losses and/or those involving organized criminal groups—many are investigated by local and state authorities.
We strongly recommend, however, that if you think you’ve been victimized by a dating scam or any other online scam, file a complaint with our Internet Crime Complaint Center (www.ic3.gov).
Before forwarding the complaints to the appropriate agencies, IC3 collates and analyzes the data—looking for common threads that could link complaints together and help identify the culprits. This helps keep everyone safe.
Here are some tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of an online dating scam. Recognizing an Online Dating Scam Artist
Your online "date" may only be interested in your money if he or she:
Presses you to leave the dating website you met through and to communicate using personal e-mail or instant messaging;
Professes instant feelings of love;
Sends you a photograph of himself or herself that looks like something from a glamour magazine;
Claims to be from the U.S. and is traveling or working overseas;
Makes plans to visit you but is then unable to do so because of a tragic event; or
Asks for money for a variety of reasons (travel, medical emergencies, hotel bills, hospitals bills for child or other relative, visas or other official documents, losses from a financial setback or crime victimization).
One way to steer clear of these criminals all together is to stick to online dating websites with nationally known reputations.
Well once again, it's Valentine's Day and a lot of single Americans are hoping to find the right one.
Some are finding it harder to settle down.
I am almost certain to give up on relationships. I am so tired of wasting my time dating women who take advantage of me. I am the dreaded "NICE GUY" who will end up always in the "FRIEND ZONE".
I am not looking for the "FRIEND ZONE" and I am not looking for the "HIT IT AND QUIT IT".
But I am certainly willing to place my bets on millions of singles rushing into relationships. The social media websites that attract singles, OKCupid, eHarmony, POF, Badoo, Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match.com, MeetMe and Christian Mingle see a spike around the week of Valentine's Day.
But there's one guy who got more bad luck than me!
What's Valentine's Day without that racist goofball Romeo Rose?
Years ago, me and S.B covered the hapless loser on this blog. I even gave a you a plug to a blog devoted to the loser. If you decide to click on it, it's called The New Adventures of Romeo Rose.
It updates the latest antics from this loser.
If you are new to this blog, I want to thank you for reading it.
Without your support, we would be doing this.
Okay, some years ago, Romeo Rose created a website called Sleepless in Austin, a blog devoted for him to find the right woman to date him.
His blog was so interesting, he was given a plug on HuffPost Live.
He would talk to The Daily Mail TV (previous HuffPost Live host) Caitlyn Becker about his blog.
Becker asked him about his choices in women. She listed that he found no interest in chubby/fat women, Black women and white women who slept with Black men. She asked him why he would write that on his blog.
Rose would eventually get outed as a full-fledged racist. Becker ended the interview and the whole ordeal went viral.
Rose would end up shutting down his website and go into hiding.
Once in a while, he would pop up in the junk food media. Given his new found celebrity, the junk food media has often ridiculed him as a homeless drifter and panhandler.
Rose would try his luck at being a musician. He's even wrote songs for Donald J. Trump.
So as long as I am still blogging on Journal de la Reyna, I will devote Valentine's Day to this loser.
So I have a question for you?
Will Romeo Rose find true love?
I've said it time after time, love is complicated. It's hard for some to find the right one. I've took to posting a long rant about dating and social media. I've dated some of the worst of the worst on social media dating websites.
One year later, still nothing has changed on gun violence.
Will something get done around in Washington, DC?
Today marks one year since the mass shooting tragedy in Parkland, Florida. This shooting sparked a movement of young activism.
This terrorist went into the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on this day. This incident killed 17 individuals and the terrorist was caught without a bullet fired.
Now as he awaits death row, many who attended the school now reflect on how they can keep the momentum going against the gun lobby.
The group March for Our Lives has been very vocal and successful in 2018. They managed to Republicans and Democrats on notice when it came to their support of the National Rifle Association.
Since the mass shooting, kookspiracy theorist Alex Jones lost his platforms on social media and is facing a lawsuit that could end him. Infowars has been calling the lead activist David Hogg, a crisis actor and it led to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to take action against him.
It lead to marches and protests of lawmakers. Lead activist Emma Gonzalez managed to become the lead voice at the March for Our Lives rally. She called "BS" on "thoughts and prayers."
Their voices put a notice on right wing agitators like Laura Ingraham. She face a boycott after she made inappropriate remarks about Hogg.
