Surviving ♥️♥️♥️♥️!

This meme means something.

Another Valentine's Day folks. I wish all you well on this special day. 

Be aware of the social media dating sites. If the person sends you a message on the first like, delete it. If the person asks you to visit other sites to connect, delete. If you feel pressure to do something because of the match, delete.

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.

I am happy to be single. Happy to be not worrying anymore about the dramas of the past relationships. I took a honest self observation of myself and found it better to not worry about it. I'll be patient and will take a strong focus on obtaining my goals and being a better father to my son.

Did you know millions of dollars are spent on Valentine's Day gifts? Especially those last minute ones!

Do you know that the single and lonely are most vulnerable to deception, suicide and violence?

Perfect timing for a hustle.

Do you know that divorces are happening as we speak?

Valentine's Day is perfect day for those who want to get married, want to be an exclusive couple, a birth, a death or a moment in history for an achievement.

I made peace with the women I've dated with in the past. I don't want to be in a relationship right now because I just rather stay focused on making money and getting a home.

I just don't have time for commitments. I don't want to carry the weight of guilty, jealousy or selfishness when it comes to being in a relationship. I have given the past relationships more than one chance. I am through with giving more opportunities to be hurt. 

It's basically me being a bachelor for the time being. I rather be a single dad.

I've only loved a few women in my time. I don't admit I love a person. I feel like I've put too much into a relationship only to be let down or hurt. So I am staying numb to saying love and wanting any relationships.

I was so tired of wasting my time dating women who take advantage of me. I've called myself the dreaded "NICE GUY" who will end up always in the "FRIEND ZONE".

I feel like I'm in the "FRIEND ZONE" and may end up getting a "HIT IT AND QUIT IT" relationship.

I am just going to stay content for now. I mean even getting on social media looking for relationships is a waste of time for me.

Still a creepy dude. Romeo Rose is forever single.

The social media websites that attract singles are booming today. Facebook, OKCupid, eHarmony, POF, Bumble, Badoo, Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match.com, MeetMe, Grindr and Christian Mingle see a spike around the week of Valentine's Day.

Well there's only one person I know who has the worst luck in relationships. Hopefully, he'll set aside his bigotry and utter stupidity to find the right relationship. His standards for women are really, really terrible. He is the infamous guy who wrote the blog, "Sleepless in Austin." 

This guy became a viral sensation and a butt of ridicule. He did an interview in which he went on and said some vicious things about Black women, interracial relationship and women who are overweight.

Since then, he's been blackballed on social media and women often swipe to the left when his face shows up on their social dating websites.

What's Valentine's Day without that racist goofball Romeo Rose?

Now going by the name of David Cassanova, this white nationalist is grifting for love.

By the way, the feds charged a Ghanaian man for wire fraud after he used numerous accounts on social media to bait and catfish victims. He would try to extort money and push fake profiles to lure victims into giving money. The suspect was criminally charged in Brooklyn. He resided in Fairfield, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati.

A man is facing federal fraud charges after a romance scheme in Butler County left multiple victims out of thousands of dollars. 

Investigators say Delove Kofi Amuzu worked with others to perpetrate a "romance fraud scheme" that hurt victims in Butler County. Amuzu also received mailings from the scheme to an address listed in Fairfield, according to documents filed Jan. 19 in U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Ohio. 

One of the victims told investigators she met someone using the name "Marvin Anderson" online in April 2018. She said they spoke by phone and email and developed what she thought was a romantic relationship. The woman said she sent Anderson $75,000 before ending the relationship in August 2018 after he refused to meet her in person.

The woman then met a "Dion Wilson" online who told her he knew FBI agents who could help her find Anderson and retrieve her money. According to court documents, Wilson put the woman in touch with an "FBI agent" who went by Carol. The woman said she sent Carol $25,000 to begin looking for Anderson.

Wilson also introduced her to another individual he claimed was his banker and would handle the financial side of the investigation. The woman shared her bank information with the third individual, and between September and November of 2018, she noticed money was stolen from her accounts and her home equity loan.

Wilson also asked the woman to purchase items for a company he claimed he had. According to court documents, the woman mailed computers, iPhones, iPads, laptops and Rolex watches to Amuzu at Wilson's request.

Be careful online when it comes to relationships,

Wilson also had her send money to accounts in the name of Obdomdel Management Agency LLC, an Ohio limited liability company whose registered agent is Amuzu.

Records from the woman's financial accounts show that on Nov. 8, 2018, a wire transfer for $97,000 cleared from her account to an account owned by Amuzu. The account had a registered address in Fairfield, Ohio.

Bank records also show that on Nov. 10, 2018, the woman sent a cashier's check to Obdomdel Management Agency LLC, owned by Amuzu, for $101,000. 

On Nov. 13, 2018, the check cleared to an account owned by Amuzu, which had a registered address in Fairfield.

A second victim said she met a man going by the name "Christian Coleman" on a dating website. Coleman asked her to send money to accounts controlled by Amuzu. Bank records showed in November 2018, she sent about $74,300 to Obdomdel Management Agency LLC and a bank account in Amuzu's name.

A third victim told investigators he sent about $91,500 to accounts controlled by Amuzu between August and September of 2020. 

According to court documents, a fourth victim was directed to send money to five different locations, totaling about $150,000. Some of those payments went to accounts controlled by Amuzu. 

Amuzu is set to appear in U.S. District Court Thursday. He is facing multiple charges including conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. 

We have reached out to Clay Hubbard Kaminski, Amuzu's attorney as listed in court documents, and will update the story when he responds.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

His partner ratted him out. The other suspect is now facing a lengthy bid and deportation once he gets out.

Samuel Antwi, a citizen of Ghana and former Columbus resident, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to crimes resulting from his involvement in laundering money obtained through online romance scams.

After being charged on Valentine’s Day in 2018, Antwi fled the United States. He was arrested in Ghana in July 2021at the request of the United States and Ghanaian authorities extradited Antwi back to Columbus to face his pending charges. He has remained in custody since his extradition.

According to court documents, the perpetrators of the romance scams created several profiles on online dating sites. The scammers then contacted men and women throughout the United States and elsewhere, established relationships with the victims and ultimately asked for money. The victims received account information and were directed to send money to those accounts, including some controlled by Antwi. The fraud generated millions of dollars in proceeds. Antwi is not charged with perpetrating the romance scams, but instead is charged with laundering the proceeds to conceal or disguise their criminal source.

“Scammers use online dating sites to build trust relationships with victims and persuade them to send money or share personal and financial information,” said U.S Attorney Kenneth L. Parker. “As Valentine’s Day approaches, remember, never send money to someone you have only met online. If you are the victim of a romance scam, file a complaint at ic3.gov.” 

Court documents spell out Antwi’s involvement in the scheme. He used a company he established, E.N.O. Services, to launder the money. From at least December 2013 through May 2015, Antwi knowingly laundered or attempted to launder $331,150 using bank accounts in his name and his company’s name. Antwi also unlawfully possessed stolen credit card numbers and other confidential personal information of others. Between April 26, 2016, and May 18, 2016, he possessed at least 87 stolen credit card numbers. 

Antwi pleaded guilty to one count of concealment money laundering and one count of access device fraud. The parties have agreed to a term of incarceration of between 24 and 30 months, and restitution to victims of $291,150. 

Antwi was one of eight people charged on Valentine’s Day 2018 in connection with the romance scam money laundering. Six have received sentences ranging from 42 months in federal time out to 30 months of probation.

Van Jefferson: My Super Bowl Ring And My Son Are Blessings!

Winning.

Super Bowl LVI is now in the history books.

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in a final second nail biter. It was good night for the NFL, the cities of Los Angeles and Inglewood as well as the state of California. They are the winners of Super Bowl LVI.

Van Jefferson couldn't celebrate with the team. He had to go to the hospital for the birth of his son.

His wife Samaria went into labor soon after the third quarter. He made it in time to see his son. 

"It was a great day, bro, said Jefferson on social media. "I got three prizes today -- my wife, my son and the Super Bowl.

Samaria went into labor earlier than expected. She was expected on Feb 17. But I guess the Rams victory was the best time to give Van his little blessing. The couple also have a daughter together.

Taylor Rapp also made the news. Rapp decided to propose to his girlfriend Dani Johnson.

Congratulations to Los Angeles Rams on their victory.

Duchess Camilla: I Got The Coronavirus!

Duchess of Cornwall tested positive for COVID-19.

The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker-Bowles confirms she tested positive for the coronavirus. Only days earlier, her husband, Prince Charles, the Duke of Wales and future heir to the British throne tested positive.

Camilla has tested positive for COVID-19 four days after her husband Prince Charles was confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus, the couple’s office said Monday.

Clarence House said Camilla was self-isolating. Charles has been isolating since he tested positive on Thursday, but Camilla had continued with public engagements while taking daily tests.

Both Charles, 73, and 74-year-old Camilla are triple-vaccinated.

Charles, who is heir to the British throne, previously contracted the coronavirus in March 2020, during the first wave of the pandemic.

Charles is believed to have met with his mother Queen Elizabeth II early last week when both were at Windsor Castle. Buckingham Palace hasn’t said whether the 95-year-old queen has tested positive, though it said last week she wasn’t displaying symptoms.

The queen, who reached the milestone of 70 years on the throne on Feb. 6, marked her Platinum Jubilee by expressing her wish for Camilla to be known as Queen Consort when Charles becomes king.

The announcement was a major vote of confidence in Camilla, who married Charles in 2005 and was initially shunned by fans of his late first wife, Princess Diana.

The British public has since warmed to her down-to-earth style and sense of humor. Camilla has taken on roles at more than 100 charities, focusing on a wide range of issues including promoting literacy, supporting victims of domestic violence and helping the elderly.

Over 175,000 British citizens died from the coronavirus. Here in the United States, we have over 925,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus.

Those who are unvaccinated are either experiencing mild to severe symptoms. They are overwhelming the hospitals. 

If only Americans got vaccinated, we would have been back to normal. Alas, they wanna fuck around and now they're going to find out. Matter of fact, we all are going to find out. 

Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla both tested positive for the coronavirus.

Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus. At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.

President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.

But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war. 

With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.

The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.

Pathetic.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19. 

If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.

Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!

Ivan Reitman Passed Away!

Ivan Reitman, the iconic comedy writer and director passed away.

Now Ivan Reitman is in the heavens with Harold Ramis. The two were instrumental in making the cult supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. The Ghostbuster franchise sparked a sequel, an animated series, a spin-off animated series, an all-woman Ghostbuster movie and now the "third" installment of the movie.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife was a smash hit movie. It brought back Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts back to the fold. Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, McKenna Grace, Fin Wolfhard and Logan Kim were featured in the movie reboot.

Ivan's son Jason wrote the movie and it was delayed during the pandemic. But it did come out and it did make $200 million in ticket sales.

Jason and the movie stars are mourning the loss of Ivan.

Reitman, the influential filmmaker and producer behind many of the most beloved comedies of the late 20th century, from “Animal House” to “Ghostbusters,” has died. He was 75.

Reitman died peacefully in his sleep Saturday night at his home in Montecito, Calif., his family told The Associated Press.

“Our family is grieving the unexpected loss of a husband, father, and grandfather who taught us to always seek the magic in life,” children Jason Reitman, Catherine Reitman and Caroline Reitman said in a joint statement. “We take comfort that his work as a filmmaker brought laughter and happiness to countless others around the world. While we mourn privately, we hope those who knew him through his films will remember him always.”

Known for bawdy comedies that caught the spirit of their time, Reitman’s big break came with the raucous, college fraternity sendup “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” which he produced. He directed Bill Murray in his first starring role in the summer camp flick “Meatballs,” and then again in 1981′s “Stripes,” but his most significant success came with 1984’s “Ghostbusters.”

Not only did the irreverent supernatural comedy starring Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis gross nearly $300 million worldwide, it earned two Oscar nominations, spawned a veritable franchise, including spinoffs, television shows and a new movie, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” that opened this last year. His son, filmmaker Jason Reitman directed.

Ivan and Jason Reitman. Jason directed Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Paul Feig, who directed the 2016 reboot of “Ghostbusters” tweeted that he was in shock.

“I had the honor of working so closely with Ivan and it was always such a learning experience,” Feig wrote. “He directed some of my favorite comedies of all time. All of us in comedy owe him so very much.”

“A legend,” comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani said on Twitter. “The number of great movies he made is absurd.”

Among other notable films he directed are “Twins,” “Kindergarten Cop,” “Dave,” “Junior” and 1998′s “Six Days, Seven Nights.” He also produced “Beethoven,” “Old School” and “EuroTrip,” and many others, including his son’s Oscar-nominated film “Up in the Air.”

He was born in Komárno, Czechoslovakia, in 1946 where his father owned the country’s biggest vinegar factory. His mother had survived Auschwitz and his father was in the resistance. When the communists began imprisoning capitalists after the war, the Reitmans decided to escape, when Ivan Reitman was only 4. They traveled in the nailed-down hold of a barge headed for Vienna.

“I remember flashes of scenes,” Reitman told the AP in 1979. “Later they told me about how they gave me a couple of sleeping pills so I wouldn’t make any noise. I was so knocked out that I slept with my eyes open. My parents were afraid I was dead.”

The Reitmans joined a relative in Toronto, where Ivan displayed his show biz inclinations: starting a puppet theater, entertaining at summer camps, playing coffee houses with a folk music group. He studied music and drama at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and began making movie shorts.

Reitman once feuded with Bill Murray and Harold Ramis.

With friends and $12,000, Reitman made a nine-day movie, “Cannibal Girls,” which American International agreed to release. He produced on a $500 budget a weekly TV revue, “Greed,” with Dan Aykroyd, and became associated with the Lampoon group in its off-Broadway revue that featured John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Murray. That soon led to “Animal House.”

Reitman seized the moment after “Animal House’s” massive success and raised money to direct “Meatballs,” which would be tamer than the hard-R “Animal House.”

He hand picked Murray to star, which would prove to be a significant break for the comedian, but Ramis later said that Reitman didn’t know if Murray would actually show up until the first day of the shoot. But it was the beginning of a fruitful and longrunning partnership that would produce the war comedy “Stripes,” which Reitman said he thought up on the way to the “Meatballs” premiere, and “Ghostbusters.”

Reitman also put Schwarzenegger in his first major comedy, opposite Danny DeVito in “Twins.” There was such uncertainty around the project that all forfeited their fees for a share of the profits, which would prove to be a lucrative deal when the film earned $216 million against an $18 million production budget. In Sept. 2021, it was announced that a sequel, “Triplets” was in the works with Reitman directing his original cast, plus Tracy Morgan as their long lost brother.

Ghostbusters became a powerful franchise.

By the time 1990′s “Kindergarten Cop” came around, Reitman had established himself as the most successful comedy director in history. Though not even being the father of three children could have prepared him for the arduous task of directing 30 children between the ages of 4 and 7 in the Schwarzenegger comedy.

The political comedy “Dave,” starring Kevin Kline as an ordinary man who has to double for the US President, provided a bit of a departure for Reitman. Roger Ebert wrote at the time that “The movie is more proof that it isn’t what you do, it’s how you do it: Ivan Reitman’s direction and Gary Ross’ screenplay use intelligence and warmhearted sentiment to make Dave into wonderful lighthearted entertainment.”

Reitman slowed down as a director after “Six Days, Seven Nights,” the 1998 adventure comedy with Harrison Ford and Anne Heche — only four films would follow “Evolution,” “My Super Ex-Girlfriend,” “No Strings Attached” and “Draft Day,” from 2014.

But he continued producing. His company, the Montecito Picture Co., produced Todd Phillips’ first movie, “Road Trip.” And with “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” even found himself on the press circuit with his son, providing emotional moments for both with the passing of the baton. Jason Reitman, who was only 7 when the original came out, included some nods to his father’s films like “Beethoven” and “Cannibal Girls” in “Afterlife.”

“Directing ‘Ghostbusters Afterlife’ was completely intimidating,” Jason Reitman said last year. “I was lucky enough to do it sitting next to my dad.”

When asked why the 1984 film continued to fascinate, Reitman told the AP that it was hard to define.

“I always had a sort of sincere approach to the comedy,” he said. “I took it seriously even though, it was a horror movie and a comedy, I felt you had to sort of deal with it in a kind of realistic and honest way.”

He always took comedy and the power of laughter seriously.

“The great cliche is about how damn tough comedy is. But of course, nobody really gives that any respect,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 2000. “It’s such a visceral thing, laughing. So getting to the point where you can get an audience of 600 people laughing is really precise and intricate work. ... My sense is we’re laughing at the same things we’ve always laughed at, but the language of the filmmaker and the performer shifts.”

Ǝminem Took A Knee!

Em took a knee and the right went nuts.

In honor of Colin Kaepernick, Eminem took a knee during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Rams on winning Super Bowl LVI. They managed to pull a last minute touchdown in the final minutes of the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Rams won 23 to the Bengals 20. Ironic, 2023. 

So I am proud of the Bengals for at least getting one opportunity to show their worth. Next time, they'll be better and determined to make another round for the Super Bowl LVII.

The Rams won on home turf after trailing through the final quarters. They did what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did in Super Bowl LV, they won at their home stadium.

Sofi Stadium was lit.

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and special guest 50 Cent rocked the stadium with their greatest hits and it will be a moment of history. 

There will be controversy from the haters.

The far right will tear threw it because they are culturally stupid.

Eminem's most notorious rivals Raymond "Benzino" Scott, Forgiato Blow, Ja Rule, Charlemagne Tha Rapist, Lord Jamar, Machine Gun Kelly and Fox will likely bitch about the performance. 

Obviously no neck Scott failed to deliver on the Em racist tapes.

He was teasing the "Foolish Pride" freestyle. 

The NFL did not approve of the performance and it got the "Let's Go Brandon" right riled up.

The kneeling took place after Em performed his Oscar-award winning single, "Lose Yourself." Instead of continuing his performance, he kneeled against police brutality and racial discrimination.

Kaepernick, former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, was heavily criticized for starting this form of protest during the national anthem at a 2016 preseason game.

As expected, the far right are outraged over the performance. They managed to be happy about the Canadian truckers blocking access on the Ambassador Bridge which crosses Detroit and Windsor to now complaining about hip-hop.

They praised celebrities like Kid Rock who make songs dissing President Joe Biden. 

They are celebrating definence in the wake of mask mandates. 

They complain about "vaccinated" celebrities who were maskless at the Super Bowl. Mind you that those attending that game were required to be vaccinated and masks were required but not enforced.

Another chapter in the history books. 

The Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl.

Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent rocked the house.

Conservatives complain.

Anderson Cooper Delivers Baby News!

Baby no. 2 for CNN host Anderson Cooper.

The CNN host and his ex-partner are parents again. Cooper and Benjamin Maisani welcomed their new son, Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. The host revealed his new addition on Anderson Cooper 360 on Thursday.

"This is Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. He was 6.8 lbs. at birth and he was healthy and happy and even his occasional hiccups, are to me, adorable," Cooper said. "He mostly just sleeps and eats and certainly poops, but he already seems like a wise and thoughtful little chap."

Cooper and Maisani, will be co-parenting Sebastian and older son Wyatt.

The two had called off their engagement last year and have decided to co-parent.

Cooper's best friend Andy Cohen and his son Ben got to meet his son. 

The reality television presenter and media personality said that Cooper's son is a "peaceful beauty."

Cooper is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, a sociality and media personality who passed away in 2019. The media agitator said that he wished his mother would been there to witness the birth of Sebastian.

A Little More Webster!

Baby no. 2.

Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner welcome their second child. With all the controversy surrounding the Astroworld concert tragedy, Travis Scott (Jacques Webster II) and Kylie Jenner have faced heat in the past, but nothing like this.

The 30-year old entertainer and the 24-year old business mogul arrived on 2/2/22. The child was born on day after their daughter Stormi's birthday. The child is named Wolf Webster. 

The two shared their news with the Kardashian clan cheering them on.

The Astroworld tragedy has seriously hurt the rapper's career. 

There were 11 deaths in the tragic concert. A mob of fans crushed the victims and Travis Scott continued to play on without noticing the deadly encounter. 

Now he and his promotion company are facing a class-action lawsuit. The city of Houston, the FBI and the Texas Department of Safety's Rangers have considered press charges against him and the promoters.

Kanye West (known as Ye) also has threatened to pull from Coachella after he accused singer Billie Eilish of taking shots at him. The controversial rapper and media mogul has been a supporter of Washed Up 45. Eilish is accused of taking shots at Travis and Ye. He demands she apologize to Travis or he will pull his show. 

"Come on Billie we love you. Please apologize to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives. No one intended this to happen," said the 44-year old agitator.

He has been feuding with Pete Davidson, Big Sean and Kid Cudi. He recently squashed his feud with Drake. Ye said that Big Sean supporting Joe Biden was one factor and also said investing in Sean Don was a huge mistake. Ye also said Cudi won't be on Donda 2 because of his friendship with Davidson.

Ye is also feuding with Kim Kardashian, his estranged wife. She is dating Davidson. The 41-year old reality television agitator is dating the 29-year old comedian. 

Ye and Davidson are both bipolar and had controversial moments in their time.

Travis had supported Ye throughout his feuds and also like the remarks about Eilish. He faced controversy over that. Many believe that the entertainer doesn't have an ounce of empathy towards those who died that night.

Travis also wanted to make amends by paying for the funerals and grief counseling. The victims' families said that throwing money at them isn't going to let him off the hook.

Kylie, the half-sister of Kim is a billionaire. Her beauty care products are worth $2.5 billion in sales.

Dave Chappelle: If Yellow Springs Build Sprawl, I'm Leaving The Village!

Yellow Springs is not going to be sprawling community.

The comedian warned the village of Yellow Springs, Ohio that if a developer builds sprawl near the village, he will pull his investments and move out.

Dave Chappelle travels between his hometown of Washington, DC and his farm in Yellow Springs, a village that is 10 miles from Dayton.

He threatened to pull the plug on his plans to open a comedy club because a corporate developer  Oberer Companies, a Dayton, Ohio developer wanted to build a new development near Yellow Springs.

It faced a huge backlash. 

Chappelle being one of the leading members of the opposition.

The village and Oberer had worked together to produce a plan that would include duplexes and affordable housing along with single-family homes in a 53-acre area along Spillan Road at the south edge of town.

The 143 single family homes on the lot, with the homes starting at $300,000 were roundly opposed.

The village annexed 34 acres of land into the village last year.

The development that the council voted on Monday night would have included 64 single family homes, 52 duplexes and 24 townhomes with an addition 1.75 acres to be donated to the community for affordable housing.

Chappelle and residents lobbied against the project saying that the village would become a target of sprawl.

He was interested in building a restaurant called Firehouse Eatery and Live from YS.

Chappelle's company, Iron Table Holding, LLC, bought a former Miami Township fire station and he plans on building investments in the village.

Had Yellow Springs decided to go ahead with the building of the property, he would pulled out of the projects and move out of the village.

Chappelle said that he did not "kill" the deal. He said that the company's deceptive practices and the determination to ruin a beacon of diversity.

Yellow Springs is considered a progressive community. It is probably the only part of Greene County, Ohio that the Democratic Party has a strong play in. Greene County is strongly Republican.

Erin Jackson Takes Home The Gold!

Erin Johnson gets her gold.

The Golden Girl.

Team USA wins the Gold. Thank you Erin Johnson. The 29-year old won the women's 500m gold medal at the Winter Olympics in a time of 37.04 on Sunday.

Jackson almost missed competing in the 500m at the Olympics after she had slipped during qualifying trials, but her teammate and friend Brittany Bowe gave up her own spot to ensure the world No. 1 was able to go to Beijing -- and it paid off.

Jackson became the first U.S. woman to win a speed skating gold at the Olympics since Bonnie Blair. 

Blair won her gold medal in 1994.

Jackson becomes the first Black woman to win an individual medal in speed skating at the Olympics.

Brittany Bowe believed in Erin.

"I cried immediately, it was just a big release of emotion. A lot of shock, a lot of relief and a lot of happiness. I haven't fully processed everything quite yet, but it just feels amazing," said Jackson. 

"I had a little misstep on the backstretch, but I just tried to, I wouldn't say recover, because it wasn't anything big, but just tried to continue skating."

Jackson finished 0.08 seconds ahead of Japan's Niho Takagi in second and 0.17 seconds ahead of the Russian Olympic Committee's Angelina Golikova in third.

Bowe said that Jackson earned that opportunity to play at the Winter Olympics. She knew that Jackson will get the gold.

"Right after the rae, I knew that if it came down to me relinquishing my spot for her to be named on the team, I would do that because she deserved it. She has earned the right to compete in her marquee events at the Olympics, and it was an honor to give her that spot for the opportunity to race for gold for Team USA," said Bowe.
