“Charles Rangel In The Hot Seat This Week”


And his 50 years of public service is on the line, as he is accused of 13 counts of financial and fundraising misconduct that violated House rules.

The former Ways and Means Committee chairman made an impassioned opening statement that said he ran out of money to pay his previous attorneys after spending nearly $2 million on attorney fees. Now the embattled chairman is representing himself in the proceedings.

Rangel, 80, is a 20-term Democrat from New York, who if the panel finds that he broke the rules, the House ethics panel could recommend that the House vote to condemn Rangel’s conduct.

Rangel admitted to making “mistakes” but insisted he never crossed the line to full-blown corruption.

“No Settlement Reached Between The Two”


American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino, met with her boyfriend’s wife, Paula Cook, earlier this month; in an attempt to settle their private dispute.

Fantasia and Paula were in mediation for nearly 12 hours on November 1 and the two didn’t settle because Fantasia refuses to acknowledge that she was aware of Paula’s marriage to Antwaun when she started dating him, and Paula is adamant that Fantasia did know.

Fantasia was prepared to pay Paula as much as $100,000 to settle during their mediation, Paula flat-out refused and instead, will see Fantasia in court on November 22; where she will proceed with her “Alienation of Affection” lawsuit against the Idol winner and reality show singer.

Alienation of Affection is a law still recognized by only seven states, one of which is North Carolina – where an abandoned spouse can file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the failure of their marriage. Typically the adulterous spouse’s lover, in this case, that’s Fantasia.

I think Mrs. Cook wants to prove a point for the benefit of more money, and at the same time embarrass Fantasia in the process.

“72 Percent Of Black Babies Are Born”


To single mothers…

A new study shows that, unwed mothers are giving birth at an alarming rate choosing to raise their babies alone and without the fathers.

The black community’s 72 percent rate eclipses that of most other groups, who were born to unwed mothers in 2008, the most recent year for which government figures are available.

Natalie Carroll (a Houston based OB/GYN) said, “Girls think they don’t have to get married, when I tell them children deserve both a mother and a father”. “And that a mother cannot give all of what a man can give.” “A truly involved father figure offers more fullness to a child’s life.”

There are so many arguments as to why black women have children without marriage.

The black community has fallen into this horribly dysfunctional equilibrium with unwed mothers and the situation just doesn’t work.”

Blacks as a group will never be equal while they have this situation going on, where the vast majority of children do not have fathers in the home married to their mother, involved in their lives, investing in them and investing in the next generation.

Instead these single mothers are raising unruly children, disrespectful, bitter with resentment and enraged with hate.

Do you think this “pandemic” is as big a cause of concern as these experts seem to think? Or is it perfectly possible to raise a well-balanced child and create a stable community without marriage?

Sound off CEO fam, what do you think?

“Sharpton Said: Cuomo’s Team Lacks Diversity”


The Rev. Al Sharpton is seriously concerned that the newly elected Governor, Andrew Cuomo lacks diversity in his transition team.

“They should have given a priority to send an early signal that they are going to have a diverse administration,” Sharpton told the Daily News. Emphasizing African-American unease with the Democrat.

Sharpton warned of “governing problems” for Cuomo if the situation is not addressed soon.

The powerful black, Hispanic and Puerto Rican legislative caucus is crucial for Cuomo’s agenda.

A number of caucus members have privately expressed concerns, particularly since Cuomo was put on notice in May about the absence of minorities on the statewide Democratic ticket.

Cuomo’s camp insists his 280-page urban agenda and his trip to Puerto Rico this week to address a conference of Hispanic New York lawmakers highlight his commitment to diversity.

Sharpton went on to say some other shit that made absolutely no sense to me: “I’ve not known [Cuomo] to have a racial component, but the results are what they are,” Sharpton said. “I’m not a psychiatrist, I’m an activist. Why it is, I don’t know. That it is, is what concerns me.”

In the meantime, Cuomo met with outgoing Gov. Paterson for 45 minutes on yesterday to discuss the hand-off of power.

Afterward Paterson praised Cuomo, saying he feels “very assured being replaced by someone who is going to do an excellent job.”
