“Whitney Houston Got Diva-ish On A Delta Flight To Detroit Yesterday”

The ReadyWriter

The R&B singer got funky with flight attendants on a Delta flight out of Atlanta, GA., yesterday when she was asked to buckle up before take-off.

It was like Whitney ignored them, which ultimately held up the flight. Another crew member came over and warned Houston that if she didn’t buckle up, she would have to get off the plane.

Whitney eventually allowed one of the crew members to grab the buckle and fasten her seatbelt for her, before the plane was then cleared for takeoff.

Sources said, “Whitney was pissed because she had missed an earlier flight and was on her way to Detroit for her first day of shooting a new movie.”

“To The U.S. Congress: Pass The GotDamn Jobs Bill Already!!!”

The ReadyWriter

American people are suffering!!!!!

I think’s it’s a shame that the republican leaders are playing games with people’s lives and livelihood by not passing President Obama’s job bills, the reason they won’t, is because they want to keep the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer and to hell with the rest!!!!

President Barack Obama intends to push his 447 billion dollar jobs package tonight in the Senate and of course, the republicans plan B is to block this bill.

The Senate’s vote is key because it represents the first act in a long-term play over the next couple of months to try to help the economy in the short-term get back to work. The american people support the bill but congress is blocking it!

People are unemployed, tired, frustrated and angry; from the occupy wall street rally that’s growing in numbers to the high unemployment rate, yet the voice of the american people are falling on deaf ears while a republican congress continue to play games.

In the meantime, Republican leaders have already said Obama’s bill is dead on arrival in their chamber and that they won’t even bring it up for a vote. So most republicans will not even cast a vote on the bill tonight.

Congress is saying, the only part of the bill they’re willing to entertain is the Veterans Opportunity to Work Act, which would provide access to education and training funds for unemployed veterans. Wow!

Congress is so hell-bent on defeating President Barack Obama that the America people are suffering in the long run and this is extremely unfair!

If you “got his back in 2012” contact your congress leaders and tell them “to pass the gotdam jobs bill already!” because the President is going to win a second term anyway.

“Are You Tuning Into PoliticsNation?” It’s Informative & Enlightening…

The ReadyWriter

The Rev. Al Sharpton is a hit as host of MSNBC’s PoliticsNation? And I’m hooked people and must be tuned in daily for my 6:00 PM hourly dose (6-7 PM), as the Rev. diss the dirt on the republican’s tactics against President Barack Obama and their goal to destroy a struggling economy.

What’s scary is, Rev. Al Sharpton is revealing truths when he report how the republicans have big money plans to oust Barack Obama in the 2012 election., even rigging certain states with new voting laws where Obama won big in 2008.

That’s right y’all, Jim Crow will be alive and well in 2012.

This new voter ID law being initiated in 14 states, could cause five million Americans to lose their right to vote.

TheGrio–A new study from the New York University Law School’s Brennan Center shows  that 5 million people could lose the their right to vote as a result of new voter suppression laws.

New voter ID laws in 14 states could make it significantly harder for more than five million eligible voters to cast ballots in 2012, according to the first comprehensive study of the laws’ impact, produced by the Brennan Center for Justice at the NYU School of Law.

Widespread voting cutbacks could have a significant electoral impact in next year’s election with minorities, poor and young voters most likely to be affected, the study found.

One of the new voting law requirements is to have a photo ID. For the elderly who seek to have a photo ID they’re being told to provide their marriage license and birth certificates when most of these elderly people were born in the early 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, when obtaining a birth certificate and/or marriage license at this stage of the game; might be a bit challenging to request in time for the election. 

The motivating factor here is to discourage people from voting. But these are just a few issues being addressed on PoliticsNation daily, tune in and check out Al Sharpton as you’ve never seen him before.

If you watch the show you’ll stay informed!!!!!!!!!!

“Georgia Has Blood On It’s Hands” For Killing Troy Davis!

The ReadyWriter

So says TV judge, Greg Mathis in speaking about the execution of Troy Davis.

Davis, 42, was put to death by lethal injection on Wednesday at Georgia’s Diagnostic and Statistics prison for the shooting death of Savannah police Officer Mark MacPhail.

Judge Mathis offered his opinions about the case from the set of his television show.

“Despite the overwhelming doubt surrounding his guilt, Davis never received a new trial and was unjustly put to death by a lethal injection.” said Mathis, who added that Georgia had “blood on its hands” for executing Troy Davis.

Take a listen.

“Troy Davis Executed” – Was It A Legal Lynching?”

The ReadyWriter

Strapped to a gurney in Georgia’s death chamber, Troy Davis lifted his head and declared one last time that “he did not kill police officer Mark MacPhail”. Yet the state of GA still executed him and he was pronounced dead at 11:08 PM.

Davis was scheduled to die at 7 p.m., but the hour came and went as the U.S. Supreme Court apparently weighed the case and ultimately denied Troy Davis a stay.

Justice Clarence Thomas resides over the GA jurisdiction, so I knew Davis didn’t have a chance.

Outside the prison, a crowd of more than 500 demonstrators cried, hugged, prayed and held candles. They represented hundreds of thousands of supporters worldwide who took up the anti-death penalty cause as  Davis’ final days ticked away.

MacPhail’s family (the cop who was killed in 1989) was relieved, they feel justice has been served.

MacPhail’s mother, Anneliese MacPhail, said in a telephone in an interview from her home in Columbus, Ga. “All the feelings of relief and peace I’ve been waiting for all these years, they will come later. I certainly do want some peace.” She then dismissed Davis’ claims of innocence. “He’s been telling himself that for 22 years…You know how it is, he can talk himself into anything.”

The McPhail family was relieved and feel justice had been served? Yet killing Troy Davis will not bring their loved one back. Why kill Troy Davis? Why not let him live out his life in prison?

Davis’ execution had been halted three times since 2007 but on September 21, 2011 his fight for justice ended when he was executed however, his family has a long fight ahead as they continue the fight and Troy’s last wishes to find the truth in this case.

Troy Davis said to the prion officials about to take his life “May God have mercy on your souls”.
