Obama Toilet Paper Offensive, 24 Hours before Election Day

The ReadyWriter

Hello Ceo Readers, I pray everyone is safe and doing well after last week’s storm. Like most of you, our power was down and we had limited access to all of our online sources and internet services; but slowly and surely the recovery efforts are progressing.

With election day just 24 hours away, administrators in a South Florida firehouse found toilet paper with President Barack Obama’s face on it (as pictured above).

Some thought the prank paper at the Pompano Beach Fire Station should just be taken as a joke, but this line of thinking is not only pathetic but disrespectful, petty, low down and hateful. City officials say that offensive or divisive political statements do not belong on city property.

“If you have an opinion, you’re certainly entitled to it. Everyone has their opinion. Put it on your own personal vehicle or your own personal things,” Pompano Beach spokesperson Sandra King told WSVN. “But you don’t display it on city property, on city grounds that maybe someone else doesn’t agree with, that’s politically motivated, and it’s inappropriate.”

The administration launched an investigation immediately after hearing about the toilet paper.

The incident “is being fully investigated as a ‘politically motivated, conduct-unbecoming situation,’ and will continue to be considered accordingly unless the investigation reveals other motivations,” King told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in an email.

One year ago, a firefighter at the same station was asked to remove an anti-Obama bumper sticker from his locker. He obliged and admitted that he demonstrated poor taste by putting such a divisive political statement on municipal property.

When is enough going to be enough people? When?

Thursday on “Conversations Of A Sistah” Election 2012, Does the 47% matter?

The ReadyWriter

Tuesday November 6, 2012 is election day and with so many potential ploys being set in place to block the vote, this election has become crucial.

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney believes that 47 percent of the people will vote for president Barack Obama no matter what, because they are a bunch of freeloaders who pay no taxes, who don’t assume any responsibility for their lives, and who think government should take care of them…Romney believes there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food stamps, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.

Romney believes: “His job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” Romney has secretly expressed his disdain for Americans who “back” president Barack Obama, thinking that most of them are African-American minorities and Latino Americans.

Therefore, Romney feels a strategy to steal the presidency rather than to win it honestly, so he told his contributors this:

“women are open to supporting me,” but that “we are having a much harder time with Hispanic voters, and if the Hispanic voting bloc becomes as committed to the Democrats as the African-American voting block has in the past, why, we’re in trouble as a party and, I think, as a nation.” When one attendee asked how this group could help Romney sell himself to others, he answered, “Frankly, what I need you to do is to raise millions of dollars.” He added, “The fact that I’m either tied or close to the president…that’s very interesting.”

This Thursday November 1, 2012 at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” my guest will be Rev. Dr. Kenneth Darryl Ray Clayton (pictured here), Pastor of the St. Luke Baptist Church in Paterson, New Jersey and President of the Paterson Chapter NAACP.

Join me live, as I will be discussing with Rev. Clayton the challenges we face in the upcoming election, such as voter suppression, voting fraud and how important it is to vote and have your voice heard on Tuesday November 6, 2012.

A Vote For Romney is a Vote for Zomney!

The ReadyWriter

I think the world wants President Barack Obama to win re-election bid for a second term in the White House.

Just ask filmmaker Joss Whedon who believes Mitt Romney is the right man to lead America – into a “zombie apocalypse.”

With Election Day looming, the staunch President Obama supporter and “Avengers” director makes fun of Romney’s policies in a YouTube video posted online on Sunday. In the YouTube video, Whedon pounds Romney for his stance on just about every domestic issue while working in what appears to be his kitchen.

“Romney is ready to make the deep rollbacks in health care, education, social services, reproductive rights, that will guarantee poverty, unemployment, overpopulation, disease, rioting, all crucial elements in creating a nightmare zombie wasteland,” Whedon said.

The parody, just in time for Halloween includes a doctored photo of Romney looking like a zombie (pictured up top) Or “ZOMNEY,” as the video notes in big letters.

“Lets all embrace the future,” the 48-year-old Whedon quips. “Stop pretending we care about each other, and start hoarding canned goods. Because if Mitt takes office, sooner or later the zombies will come for all of us.”

10 Years Later and Jam Master Jay’s Murder Still Unsolved

The ReadyWriter

They are Hip-hop pioneers who gave class and purpose to a real rap era. They didn’t grace the stage with their pants down around their buttocks, spitting foul language in their lyrics either. Run DMC was bigger than life and true to form on stage.

The duo two of Run-DMC are back on tour and this is their first without the back beat of the group, DJ Jam Master Jay whose real name is Jason Mizell. Mizelle was murdered 10 years ago, the night before Halloween and his killer or killers; have yet to be brought to justice.

Mizell’s murder is shrouded in mystery and lack of cooperation by witnesses, as the NYPD remains frustrated that the 2002 execution-style murder of the hip-hop star, remains unsolved “10 years later”.

“We never really had a good lead,” the case’s head detective, Vincent Santangelo said, and “Nobody would or nobody could tell us the who or what and we’re still looking for that person.”

Law enforcement sources, who at one time worked the case, said the people inside Mizell’s 24/7 recording studio provided a play-by-play account of the Oct. 30, 2002 murder but everyone stopped short of identifying the gunman or his sidekick.

 But here is what investigators were told:

After packing some equipment for a show in Philadelphia the next day, Mizell got a bite to eat and took a seat on a couch at the rear of the studio. His pal, Uriel (Tony) Rincon, sat next to him and the pair began playing a video game.

Mizell placed a .45-caliber pistol on the arm rest.

A short time later, Mizell’s assistant, Lydia High, entered the cramped studio to go over his itinerary. High’s brother, Randy Allen – Mizell’s longtime pal and business partner – soon came in with two friends, but they shut themselves in the control room at the front of the studio.

Everyone had been in the room for less than an hour when a man dressed in black, possibly wearing a hat, stepped in and gave Mizell a hug about 7:30 p.m. But after the short embrace, the man pulled out a .40-caliber handgun.

“Oh, shit,” was all a witness heard Mizell say before a shot rang out.

The bullet pierced Rincon’s left leg. Then, a second shot hit Mizell in the head, killing him before he hit the floor.

The killer and his accomplice, who was standing outside the door, both sprinted out of the two-story building and disappeared. 

Run, DMC kicked off a tour last month with their back bone Jam Master Jay. The rapping trio were responsible for platinum-selling hits which brought hip-hop to the mainstream with hits like “It’s Tricky” “King of Rock” and a remake of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way”.
Breast cancer awareness month, Conversations Of A Sistah, Tracy L. Bell, What she said

Tonite on “Conversations Of A Sistah” What does the color PINK mean to you?

The ReadyWriter

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and since its inception more than 25 years ago, it has been at the forefront of promoting awareness of breast cancer that has evolved on a national dialogue. And although many great strides have been made in breast cancer awareness and treatment, there remains much to be accomplished.

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.

In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Susan G. Komen is the boldest community fueling the best science and making the biggest impact in the fight against breast cancer. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested almost $2 billion to fulfill our promise, working to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through ground-breaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 50 countries.

So what does the color pink mean for you? The pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbons, and the color pink in general, identify the wearer or promoter with the breast cancer brand and express moral support for women with breast cancer. Pink ribbons are most commonly seen during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

But for those women who are survivors or live with the scars of breast cancer daily, they have to live way beyond the month of October.

Join me Thursday at 8:00 PM live on “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” as we acknowledge breast cancer awareness, where my guest will be; the Rev. Mable Grier (pictured right above), who is a wife, minister, mother of four beautiful adult daughters, grandmother and breast cancer survivor six years now.

Rev. Grier is the associate pastor at her church, active in her community and abroad; and is not ashamed to share her powerful testimony as a survivor and overcomer of breast cancer. When you hear her compelling voyage, you will know, why she lives by faith!!!

Be encouraged by the story she’ll share, tune in Thursday as Rev. Grier join me on the air!!!
