Former Detroit Mayor going back to jail!!!


Kwame Kilpatrick

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was found guilty of multiple counts of racketeering and extortion, a jury decided Monday. Kilpatrick was convicted of 24 charges, including racketeering, extortion, attempted extortion, bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud and filing false tax returns. Both Kilpatrick and contractor Bobby Ferguson were found guilty on most counts. Kilpatrick’s 71-year-old father, Bernard Kilpatrick, was only found guilty of one tax count.

Jurors deliberated for 15 days before announcing that they were ready to vote on a verdict. The 12 members of this jury have spent 79 hours total deliberating all the details from the five-month trial.

All three men maintained stoic exteriors as the verdicts were read over seven minutes’ time. The former Detroit mayor was convicted of 24 out of 30 total charges. Contractor Bobby Ferguson was convicted of nine out of 11 total counts. The jury reached a unanimous decision on 45 of 50 total felony charges levied by prosecutors.

A bond hearing for all three men will take place this afternoon. According to the Detroit Free Press, the U.S. Attorney’s Office will ask that the three men will be detained while the appeal process occurs. Sentencing will likely not occur for several months.

Woman preaching with her breast exposed


My business administrator saw this video posted on my Facebook page yesterday and forwarded it to me for my opinion and response.

First of all, the woman in the video is being called a preacher but her title can’t be officially established, anyone can preach the Word of God and the devil knows scripture better than the best preachers. The Bible says to “try the Spirit and know whether it be of God” 1 John: 4:1.

In order to deliver anyone lost, you must first speak the Word of truth and she is indeed speaking truth, watered down with a bunch of Amen’s however, her breast are inappropriately exposed. The Bible states; for women to dress modestly that means, in a proper, well-mannered fashion—certainly not in a provocative, outlandish or excessive way. This woman in the video is clearly out-of-place, which probably explains why she’s sitting in somebody’s kitchen and not standing in the platform of a church or institution.

She calls her ministry, “the gospel from a stripper’s pole”

Her message is: “A Forked Tongue” deliver me from these back door preachers!

As we start our month-long celebration commemorating Women’s History month, I will discuss women who’ve changed the game; women who’ve contributed much to our history using their talents and greatness. Some of these women sacrificed much, as they’ve paved the way for others. Women’s History is my topic of discussion for tonight, Wednesday March 6, 2013 at 8:00 PM on Conversations Of A Sistah.

Coco Channel, Dr., Mae C. Jameson, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks and Maya Angelou just to name a few, are women who have done great things to contribute to women’s history by changing the course in history in making a difference.

So join me tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” as I delve into this topic and add my two cents with great commentary.

Michael Jordan slapped with paternity lawsuit!

A woman by the name of Pamela Smith filed a paternity suit against basketball legend Michael Jordan on Feb. 6 in Fulton County, GA,  according to a TMZ report.

Smith claims she became pregnant after allegedly having an affair with Jordan in 1995, giving birth to her now 16-year-old son Grant Pierce Jay Jordan Reynolds, also known as Taj, in June 1996. That’s a long damn name for her son, can you all agree?

Smith said “in her legal docs she welcomes a paternity test to prove Jordan’s the dad. She wants full custody and child support. She also wants Jordan to pay  the kid’s medical expenses,” says the gossip site. Also adding she would like  her son to legally have the Jordan last name.

Jordan, 50, would have had the alleged affair while still married to Juanita Vanoy, the couple ended their 17-year marriage in 2006. I see Juanita dropped the last name Jordan once she divorced Michael too.

Jordan is set to walk down the aisle for the second time next month to marry girlfriend Yvette Prieto, a Cuban-American model.
