Rev. Al Sharpton’s Starvation Diet Really Works

Al Sharpton

Rev. Al Sharpton says his new starvation diet has made him a new man. The once portly, 60-year-old radio and MSNBC host says cutting red meat and poultry out of his “Al Sharpton Diet” helped him drop over 300 pounds!

From NY Daily News:

Sharpton has shed 60% of his much-mocked weight — and he did it without surgery, diet pills or a single Weight Watchers meeting.

“I could take all the cartoons in the tabloid newspapers, but I couldn’t take my daughter punching me in the belly and asking why I was so fat,” Sharpton recalled. “That was my inspiration to lose the weight. And probably the last time anyone hurt my feelings.”

Around six years ago, Sharpton cut out red meat. A year later, he did away with chicken — no small feat for a guy who ate fried fowl three times a day (with grits and eggs for breakfast and on a sandwich in the afternoon, plus a half-chicken for dinner).

Eventually he cut out so much food that he was subsisting on a single lunchtime salad (albeit with one perk: a chopped egg). That’s when the weight really started coming off, at a rate of about 2 pounds a week. And as he got thinner, he found he missed food less and less.

The Rev Al is basically starving himself to maintain his thinner, unhealthy frame.

Will Republicans WIN the Senate?

Senators Reid And McConnell Testify On Proposed Constitutional Amendment On Campaign Finance

This is the biggest question being asked and filtering throughout the internet.

With the election being just eight (8) days away, every Gallup poll imaginable is predicting the Republicans to “WIN” the senate and rule the house.

It is also a prediction that Latino Americans will abandon the democratic vote because of the staggering approval on immigration reform. But “I’m laughing out loud” and wondering how is this even remotely possible when Republicans are opposed on economic issues like this:

  • GOP opposition to raising the minimum wage.
  • GOP refusal to renew unemployment benefits to the long-term unemployed.
  • GOP obstruction of Democratic proposals to lower payments and cut interest rates on student loans.
  • The incredibly unpopular GOP proposal to eliminate the Medicare guarantee and replace it with a voucher for private insurance.
  • The failed GOP proposal to privatize Social Security.

And dressing up Republican candidates (African-Americans especially), to disguise these positions is their trick to win over the majority but I don’t think it’s going to work; especially since most of these candidates personally embody these deeply unpopular stances.

So I ask the question here…Do you think Republicans will ‘WIN’ the senate?

Why are women attracted to power? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Power plays a key role in attraction. All women are attracted to power. They want a guy who is powerful. There is however a misconception about power many men still struggle to understand this very day. They are unclear about what kind of power this is, that is so irresistible to the opposite sex.

When you think about powerful men, the first thing that might come to mind is money. Money represents power. And if a man has money, women will equate this to power. Why? Because women are attracted to power! 

Take Monica Lewinsky for example, she was attracted to former president Bill Clinton, why? Because he held the office of the most powerful man in the United States, he was president; the commander in chief. Like any female in Lewinsky’s position, she was willing to do anything for him based upon her attraction to his power.

Then you had late rapper Biggie Smalls, who lacked good looks but had women falling and fighting all over him left and right. Why? Because his talents gave him the title along with the money and power as one of the best hip hop artist of our time.

Join me tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” for my commentary “Why woman are attracted to power?”

See you on the air!

It is going to get messy in Ferguson, Mo!

Mike Brown Darren Wilson

The cop who fatally shot unarmed teen Michael Brown set off a wave of protests in Ferguson, Mo.— all because he told investigators he feared for his life when he pulled the trigger that killed the unarmed teen.

Darren Wilson testified before a grand jury over this case, that Mike Brown punched, pushed, scratched and reached for his gun, which led to him gunning down and unloading six bullets into the teen, killing him out of anger.

Wilson told federal officials that Brown shoved him in his SUV, then grabbed his gun. The teens blood was found on Wilson’s gun, his uniform and in the SUV.

Wilson testified for four hours before a grand jury last month, which means this case is already being favored to side on Wilson’s testimony alone, although his version of events contradict what several other witnesses said about the incident that day.

The prosecutors leading this case are ex policeman, with the head prosecutor, whose father  was killed by a black man. The citizens of Ferguson, MO as well as Brown’s parents already know Wilson will not be indicated.

There will be NO JUSTICE in this case, which is why the officials in Ferguson will have NO PEACE!

Michael Dunn gets LIFE in Prison!

Michael Dunn (pictured above) was sentenced to life in prison (without parole), after being convicted of first-degree murder for fatally shooting Jordan Davis outside a Jacksonville convenience store.

Dunn tried to stand behind the “Stand your ground” law but the life sentence imposed by Circuit Judge Russell Healey was mandatory for the 47-year-old cold-blooded killer, since prosecutors decided not to seek the death penalty.

“Mr. Dunn, your life is effectively over,” Healey said. “What is sad … is that this case exemplifies that our society seems to have lost its way.”

Evidence showed that Dunn, of Satellite Beach, fired the shots during a heated argument over the volume of music coming from the SUV carrying Davis and three other teenagers. Dunn was convicted of three counts of second-degree murder in his first trial because he continued to fire into the Dodge Durango as the driver tried to flee. Healey on Friday sentenced him to a minimum of 60 years in prison for those charges, to be served consecutively with the life sentence.

Supporters of Jordan Davis and his family filled rows of the courtroom, and many broke into tears, sometimes sobs, as his parents and other family members told Healey how devastating his death had been.

Davis’ mother, Lucia McBath said she always taught her son to love and to forgive.

“Therefore, I too must be willing to forgive and so I choose to forgive you Mr. Dunn for taking my son’s life,” McBath said in court.

Jordan Davis’ father, Ronald Davis, spoke tearfully of holding his son when he was born, then kissing his body one last time at the hospital the night of his death.

“I gave him his first kiss when he came into this world and I could never have imagined giving him his last kiss,” Davis said. “Our family has lost the biggest and the brightest smile of all of us.”
