Messy Jesse Jackson is a deadbeat dad

The ReadyWriter

Jesse Jackson, who admitted he fathered a daughter, Ashley, by a woman he carried on an affair with in 1999 is $11,694.50 behind in back child support, according to the ENQUIRER.

Karin Stanford was a top aide with Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSHCoalition until The ENQUIRER exposed the affair — and the love child — in 2001. After admitting paternity, Jackson paid the court ordered child support and visited Ashley (and Stanford) at their California home regularly over the past decade.

But something went wrong and their relationship soured. Now Stanford has filed court documents accusing Jackson of failing to pay child support from December 2010 until August 2011, including a monthly $400 fee.

“Karin has tried so many times to work with Jesse on their financial agreement,” a source told The ENQUIRER. “But he was only paying when he felt like it, so she’s taking him to court.”

Jackson, 70, has 5 grown children with his long-suffering wife, Jacqueline Brown-Jackson. Even though Jacqueline is well aware of her husband’s infidelities over the decades, she still remains faithfully married to him.

Newt Gets The Boot For Calling Obama, The Food Stamp President!

The ReadyWriter

During Monday night’s GOP debate in Myrtle Beach, SC, presidential candidate Newt Gingrich called President Barack Obama “The Food Stamp President”. Gingrich insists that black kids don’t need handouts from President Obama — they need jobs. Newt is trying to imply that, because President Obama is African-American he’s giving blacks the very thing they know best: a free ride.

Gingrich says schoolchildren should be given janitorial jobs because, in his opinion, janitors in the NYC public school system earn way too much money. The average annual salary for a NYC public school janitor is $80,000, compared to a teacher who earns $45,000 annually.

According to the NY Daily News, Gingrich argued the best thing public schools could do for students – particularly black students – was to give them a broom.

“Can’t you see that this is viewed at a minimum as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans?” asked Fox News questioner Juan Williams, who is part Hispanic and black.

“No, I don’t see that,” Gingrich responded, with rousing applause from the majority white audience.

On Jan. 21, voters in South Carolina will vote to pick their choice for the Republican presidential candidate. Recent polls in the South show Gingrich running second behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney., who did not oppose one word out of Gingrich’s mouth. That means they’re two of a kind because silence brings consent.

I Saw “Joyful Noise” This Weekend

The ReadyWriter

And if you like going to church for the drama of the choir, the songs and entertainment, then this movie is for you!

The place: a Georgia town, deep in poverty. The characters: the Pacashau Sacred Divinity Choir. The occasion: Just as the choir leader dies of a heart attack, the annual gospel choir competition is approaching. Two strong women are in competition for the job of choir director. Vi Rose Hill (Queen Latifah) and G.G. Sparrow (Dolly Parton). Pastor Dale (Courtney B. Vance) gives Vi Rose the position, although G.G. is the widow of the former director and believes she should have inherited the honor.

The choir is not a large choir, but small (most of them pictured here above), with most of its members looking typecast. It’s a small church, but has plenty of empty seats during services. (Cutting corners on extras?) It is completely racially integrated, which I believe is not that common even in modern Georgia. The film has almost no specifically spiritual content; the purpose of the choir is not to praise God but to win contests.

The music in this film is partly secular but inspiring.

I thought the movie was okay, Queen Latifah’s role was strong but looking at Dolly Parton made my eyes hurt., she looked plastic from the chin up.

“Joyful Noise,” is a squeaky-clean pop-gospel fairy tale with a happy ending., which I thought was a bit unrealistic. If you decide to see it, you be the judge.

What Will You Do To Celebrate The Dreamer?

The ReadyWriter

Tomorrow we observe the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. It is a federal and state holiday and Post offices will be closed; there will be no regular mail delivery, state and local government offices will be closed as well, and banks and public schools have the option to close.

To commemorate the King holiday, people have converged on King’s monument in Washington, DC., but I’m hoping that people will remember his message, not the monument. In the meantime, President Barack and Michelle Obama are calling on the American people to volunteer their services.

Churches all over the world will have services today and tomorrow, remembering King as a civil rights activist who changed the course of history for racial equality in the United States.

In 1963 King helped organize the March on Washington, an assembly of more than  200,000 protestors at which he made his famous “I have a dream” speech. The  march influenced the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Martin Luther King, Jr., was born January 15, 1929 and his holiday is observed every third Monday in January.

So what will you do to remember Martin Luther King’s life and legacy?

As requested..enjoy!

Fiddy Cents Tweets Baby Picture Of Blue Ivy Carter

The ReadyWriter

In a slick way, rapper 50 Cent tweeted pictures of Jay-Z’s head on a baby’s body, “congratulating” Jay-Z and Beyonce on their newborn.

While a North Carolina church (Beulah Baptist), had their church sign defaced by vandals and Beyonce fans over last weekend. The sign’s message — which was not authorized by the church as a message from God — read: BEYONCE HAD HER BABY. SATAN IS ON EARTH.

I’m tired of the Beyonce Baby Blue Ivy or Ivy Blue hype people, so please stop sending me emails suggesting stories about Beyonce and her newborn swiped from other media outlets.

And please note: talentless Beyonce and her husband Jay Z are not the only couple in the world to have a child and won’t be the last.

Now excuse me as I continue to tune-into my daily dose of PoliticsNation. 🙂
