SANTORUM OUT OF PRESIDENTIAL RACE!

Sentor Rick Santorum will be bowing out of the Presidential race due to so-called family conflicts. While that may be true to some degree we here aren't;



 BUYING IT!

Apparently it comes down to not having enough delegates to clench the nomination. We all know that the delegate count is important when securing the nomination of any party. 

For this race within the republican the party it's extremely important!

As for what's ahead for Senator Santorum, we suspect he will dive into helping "sickromney" to try to win the whitehouse.  SickRomney will need all the help he will get going up against President Obama.

Sit back people and take your seats because the real battle for the whitehouse is about to begin with nut-case SickRomney and our true President; Barack Obama.

'Success looks like this': Janet Jackson unveils dramatically slimmed down figure in new ad

She described herself as an emotional eater with serious body issues.
But Janet Jackson is seen here looking confident and happy after a weight loss programme helped her shed the pounds.

The 45-year-old singer, who has battled the bulge over the years, is in incredible shape in the promo snap from her Nutrisystem ad. Janet, the sister of the late Michael Jackson, shows off her figure in a tight orange dress and sky high Louboutin heels.

She is yet to reveal how much weight she has lost - but a sneak peek of the ad has been released.

Newly-slim Jackson proclaims in the commercial: 'This is what success looks like,' before going on to describe the Nutrisystem plan, based on eating low glycemic foods which leave you feeling full for longer.

While she was once revered for her incredibly toned abs, Janet's weight has yo-yoed over the years.

Back in 2006 she tipped the scales at 180lbs before slimming down.

However following the death of her brother Michael in 2009, Janet started to pile on the pounds.





What a difference a year makes: A chunky Janet tipped the scales at 180lbs, seen left in January 2006 and right, slimmed down by December the same year

She is the latest celeb to use Nutrisystem to fight the flab, with Marie Osmond having previously shed 50lbs on the programme.

Janet documented her weight struggle in her 2011 tell-all book True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself in which she described herself as an 'emotional eater' with serious body image issues.

Janet's ad will premiere in full next Monday.




*WOW! Janet Jackson looks great! We hear at Diva's Nation are fans of hers. We have seen her through her ups and downs with her weight. That in itself says she's a real person.

All in all, Janet will always be a winner no matter what she looks like.

Looks good girl!!*

10-Year-Old Girl Gives Birth to Daughter

(abc news) A 10-year-old Colombian girl gave birth to a healthy baby girl, making her one of the youngest mothers ever.

The unnamed girl from Manaure, a town in the Colombian Department of La Guajira, arrived at the hospital in tears and "enormous pain" from the contractions, according to  Univision's Primer Impacto. She reportedly delivered her daughter, who weighed 5 pounds, by cesarean section.

Experts say a C-section delivery for such a young mother is not unusual.

"The baby's head needs to come through a bony outlet. But in a young girl, the pelvis may not be ready or big enough to deliver a baby," said Dr. Kimberly Gecsi, an OB/GYN at UH Case Medical Center in Cleveland.

Extremely young mothers also have a higher risk of pregnancy-induced high blood pressure known as preeclampsia, and their babies are at risk for fetal growth restriction, according to Dr. Frederick Gonzalez, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at NYU Langone Medical Center.

"These girls are not ready to be pregnant. Their bodies are not mature," said Gonzalez. "They may be able to get pregnant, but being able to have a baby is a whole other situation."

The new mom is a member of the Wayuu people, an indigenous tribe in northern Colombia. The age of the father is unknown, but police can't press charges because the tribe has its own jurisdiction, according to local reports.

"We've already seen several cases [of pregnancy] in girls of the Wayuu ethnicity," Efraín Pacheco Casadiego, director of the hospital where the girl gave birth,  told RCN La Radio noticias. "When in fact [the girls] should be playing with dolls, they are having to care for a baby. This is shocking."

Pregnancy can occur as soon as a girl starts ovulating, which is happening at ever younger ages.

"The average age girls in the country start menstruating is about 12 and a half, but that age keeps dropping," said Gecsi, adding that the age is even lower among Hispanic girls. "But only about 13 percent of Hispanic girls menstruate younger than 11. And for them to have a sexual experience would be very unusual."

Because ovulation precedes menstruation, girls can get pregnant before ever having a period.

"Typically, menstruation is the last thing that happens in puberty," said Gesci, adding that girls typically go through a growth spurt and develop breasts and pubic hair before menstruating. "If you notice those things, you could be about to menstruate and you could get pregnant."


*Wow a ten year old girl has given birth to a baby girl!

That's a hot ass mess!  Whoever raped this child need to be put under the damn jail!

This is so sick it makes my stomach churn a million times! I can't stand people who do this sort of thing.

It's sad, because in certain parts of the world, once a girl starts her period she's what they call a woman. 

Sad and ridiculous!

Listen people; I don't care what tribe your in, religious status, or your status in life is; if you rape a child your a pedophile! 

How sick!

Obama administration blocks Texas voter ID law

(Reuters) - The Obama administration on Monday blocked a new Texas law requiring voters to show photo identification before they can cast a ballot out of concerns it could harm some Hispanic voters who lack such identification.

The state law approved in May 2011 required voters to show government-issued photo identification, which could include a driver's license, a military identification card, a birth certificate with a photo, a current U.S. passport, or a concealed handgun permit.

The Justice Department said that data from Texas showed that almost 11 percent of Hispanic voters, just over 300,000, did not have a driver's license or state issued identification card, and that plans to mitigate those concerns were incomplete.

"Hispanic registered voters are more than twice as likely as non-Hispanic registered voters to lack such identification," Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez said in a letter to the Texas director of elections outlining the objection.

This is the second state voter identification law blocked by the Obama administration, which earlier objected to a strict new law in South Carolina that it prevented from taking effect. South Carolina then sued in federal court seeking approval of its law.

Under the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act, certain states like Texas must seek approval from the Justice Department or the federal courts for changes made to state voting laws and boundaries for voting districts.

The Obama administration has already challenged the state's attempt to re-draw congressional districts and that fight is now before the courts. Texas has also sued to get approval for its voter identification law.

Several other states, including Kansas and Wisconsin, have adopted stricter new voter identification laws, arguing that they were necessary to prevent fraud at the ballot box. However some civil rights groups have said that the laws threatened to suppress minority voters.

In Texas, the Justice Department said that potential voters would have to have two other identification documents to get a certificate allowing them to vote, which could require paying expensive fees for copies of legal documents such as birth certificates.

Additionally, nearly one third of the counties in the state do not have offices where potential voters can obtain a driver's license or state identification card and some residents live more than 100 miles away, the Justice Department said.

Efforts to educate voters about the new identification requirements were also incomplete and the state did not submit any evidence of voter impersonation not already addressed under existing state laws, the administration said.

"The state has failed to demonstrate why it could not meet its stated goals of ensuring electoral integrity and deterring ineligible voters from voting in a manner that would have voided this retrogressive effect," Perez said.

The Texas lawsuit for approval of the voter identification law is: State of Texas v. Holder in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, No. 12-cv-128.


*What a crying shame!

This is very unfair what Texas is trying to do.  They know that most of the illegals don't have proper ID and will not vote for fear of getting found out.  So what do they do...they come up with some stupid ass law to show two forms of ID to cast your vote. 

What a shame!

The Obama Administration is doing the right thing.  They are at least, trying to give folks a fair shake.  Of course we all know that there is a price to be paid with that.

At some point instead of trying to get rid of the illegals, they have to try to work with them on making their communities a much better place to live. 

At the end of the day, this is another way to weed out more an more voters to keep them from voting in this years election. For the convervatives to do just that, then, they have no right to talk smack about President Obama.

Ahmadinejad: Iran doesn't fear bombs and warships

(Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has launched a fresh tirade against the West, saying the Islamic Republic does not fear military action, Iranian media reported on Sunday.

"The Iranian nation doesn't fear your bombs and warships and planes. Such weapons are worth nothing," the Fars News Agency quoted him as saying on a visit to the town of Karaj, to the west of Tehran.

"You say to Iran all options are on the table. Leave them there until they rot. The time of arrogance and colonialism has passed, and the era of your unreasonableness passes too."

On Tuesday, the P5+1 group of countries comprising the United States, the UK, France, Russia, China and Germany accepted an offer from Tehran for fresh talks on its nuclear programme.

The West has imposed tough sanctions to try to force Iran to open up its nuclear activities to international scrutiny amid suspicions it is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has denied any military development work but has not given international inspectors access to suspicious sites.

With little diplomatic progress despite numerous rounds of talks, Washington has refused to rule out military action and senior Israeli politicians have spoken of the possibility of air strikes.

President Barack Obama played down talk of war last week, however, saying there was a diplomatic "window of opportunity" and it was in everyone's interest for a peaceful solution to be found.

His words were met with rare praise from Iran's most powerful authority, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Ahmadinejad is set to appear before parliament, the Majlis, on Thursday, Fars News reported on Sunday, after being summoned last month to face questions about his handling of the economy.

He has been severely criticised for implementing reforms towards the end of 2010 that withdrew generous subsidies for food and energy.

The reforms, combined with tightening sanctions, have fuelled rampant inflation - officially around 21 percent but believed to be nearer 50 percent - and a collapse in the value of the Iranian currency, the Rial.


*What a mess!
Iran's President is so ridiculous even his own people don't take him serious.  He touts and mocks the west as if he's the most powerful man in the world. 

Yeah Right!

If he only knew how crazy he sounds to the rest of the world.  You would think he would have a better strategy than spilling lots of ridiculous rhetoric about how he doesn't fear military action.  Clearly his intellect is very limited. 

As I read this article and think about those people that have to live with him being their President, it's very sad.  This so-called human being has done nothing but cause his people harm and then some. 

He's only the President for his own benefit. 

I think what needs to happen is to throw his ass out of power just like they did Egypt's and Syria's President. 

That's the million dollar question of the day: "Why don't they overthrow Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?"

'Go to hell Barack': Row over Washington Metro ad

(AFP) In the heat of a US presidential election year, with Americans immune to the polarized and bitter nature of political discourse, it takes a lot to shock them, especially in Washington.

But one ad at a DC Metro station -- which starts off criticizing Obama's health care reforms and ends up telling the president to "go to hell" -- goes beyond the pale, says Jim Moran, a Democratic congressman from Virginia.

The advertisement is for "Sick and Sicker: When the Government Becomes Your Doctor," a documentary that interviews Canadian doctors and patients in the hope of showing how dangerous "Obamacare" is for the American people.

"Barack Obama wants politicians and bureaucrats to control America’s entire medical system. Go to hell Barack," the ad says.

Moran wrote a letter to Metro general manager Richard Sarles calling for the removal of the advertisement.

"The ad is deeply disrespectful of the President of the United States and does not belong in the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) network," he wrote.

It turns out that such language is within the accepted limits of American law and such advertisements are protected under the First Amendment of the US constitution, guaranteeing free speech.

"WMATA advertising has been ruled by the courts as a public forum protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution, and we may not decline ads based on their political content," the Metro authority said in a written statement.

"WMATA does not endorse the advertising on our system, and ads do not reflect the position of the Authority."

Democrats have accused Republicans of lowering the tone of the political discourse in the United States during this election season, in particular with highly personal attacks on the president.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, a Republican, was widely condemned recently by Democrats for poking her finger at the president during an angry exchange on the tarmac after she greeted his arrival in Phoenix.

But conservatives argue that the treatment Obama gets is no worse than what liberals dished out to former president George W. Bush, especially in his second term after the US-led invasion of Iraq.


*This is a hot ass mess!

Disrespecting the President doesn't help this country.  It only adds fuel to the fire and makes it bigger. 

As most of you know, this is a huge election year.  The candidates including our President is doing whatever they can do to get "your" attention, that includes place ads like this one in metro stations to get your attention. 

Is it right?

I guess it's the American way to be down right disrespectful and nasty to our commander in chief.  You would think people would have better manners than that, but I guess most aren't raised with manners in these times. 

We know that there's alot of people who don't like President Obama for obvious reasons.  That's ok.  However, to be down right rude, and disrepectful is just RIDICULOUS!

Even in an election year there's a way to get your point across without being nasty about it. 

Maybe the President and his people should counter with "SHUT THE HELL UP DUMB BITCHES."

Or not say anything.

SLUM LORDS FROM HELL!

SLUM LORDS FROM HELL!

(http://www.bewareofmybitchitude.blogspot.com/)

This post is brought to you by slum lords Mich and Donnell Albritton who can't seem to fix up a house for their tenants.

My friend is currently renting a house from the Albrittons who lives in Atlanta GA. She moved in expecting things to be in tip top shape. However, the slum lords the "Albrittons" have failed to fix the plumbing which is costing my friend a fortune in water bills. Due to the slum lords not fixing the plumbing issue, my friend has stood her ground! The water is currently higher than the rent!

Now they want to sue her.

Of course we all hate bullies. Mitch Albritton showed up at my the residence and threatened my friend.  He stood in her face and told her prepare to move out.  Not only that, but his wife Donnell Albritton has repeatedly text my friend threatening and harrassing her. That isn't cool!

This is bull shit!! As we all know people like this get away with crap like this all to well. Let's send a message to the dumb ass "Albrittons" about bullying renters and costing folks more than just their rent money. Here's the email address: dsalbritton@rocketmail.com

The house is located at: WR GA. It has bad plumbing.

DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE, THEY ARE BAD NEWS!!!

UPDATE

Take a look at these pictures:

How can anyone feel safe living with their damn door open like this. The slum lords didn't even fix this.

Here we have water leakage that never stops. Everytime you run the sink in the kitchen it leaks from the bottom.

Here you have the spot where the water is coming from. The tile is so damn old that critters and every thing else crawl up through it. What a damn shame.
