Woman Steals Jay Z Tickets, Run Over and Disfigured Ticket Owner

Cold: Denitra Green allegedly drove away as her cohort stole Jay Z tickets from a seller they’d connected through on Craigslist. The seller clung to their car and was dragged, disfigured and then run over

A Houston man was disfigured and nearly killed when the women he was selling Jay Z tickets to sped away as he leaned into their car, leaving him clinging desperately to the door handle.

The unnamed victim begged Denitra Green and Cessica Darden, both 20, to stop the car but police say Green continued speeding away while Darden kicked at his hands in an attempt to get him to fall off.

As Darden’s baby sat in the backseat, Green continued to drive after the car ran over the man’s nearly lifeless body.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Darden had told the victim they’d need to meet in a parking lot, with her in the car, because she was unable to leave her young child.

Court documents indicate that the man held on to the speeding vehicle at the back seat, right beside where Darden’s child sat.

‘[Darden] kicked his arm so hard, they broke it,’ the victim’s attorney Andino Reynal told KTRK. ‘It was a clean break. He’s going to have to have surgery. When the arm broke, he came off the car and the car ran over his legs.’

The man broke a leg, an arm, tore a knee cap, and suffered disfiguring facial wounds.

‘He was begging them and instead of stopping, they drove faster,’ Reynal said.

He will in all likelihood live out his life with diminished use of his right hand and one of his legs.

The man remained in the hospital Thursday in the wake of the devastating December 15 incident and faces plastic surgeries and the possibility of never regaining the use of some fingers thanks to extensive broken bones and horrific road rash.

Horrific: The unidentified victim will require plastic surgery and may never fully regain the use of his right hand or one of his legs. He suffered a broken arm, leg, and horrible road rash on his face

Horrified witnesses gave the police the car’s license plate number.

The victim was also able to provide the contact information the women had used leading up to their meeting.

But they were led to the suspects by way of something far more shocking: police went to the December 19 concert and found them in seats matching those for which the victim had been selling tickets on Craigslist.

The witnesses and victim would later identify Green in a lineup. She was then arrested.

Police said the women admitted to the crime and showed no remorse even after being shown pictures of the grisly injuries they allegedly caused the man.

Green has now made her $30,000 bond. As of Thursday evening, Darden remained at large.

Scene: The victim told police that Darden wanted to meet him while inside the car at this Houston Starbucks because she had her baby with her

5 Things You Need to Know About Your Blood Type

Have you ever wondered why you are not losing weight after following the exact same diet as your best friend and she manages to lose those 10 pounds fast and easy? Ever asked yourself why you get sick so often or why is your immune system so weak?

Are you eating the right foods for your blood type?
It is important to learn how your blood type affects your health and wellness, same as your weight and believe it or not your blood type makes you more susceptible to certain diseases.

Why does this happen?
We understand that there are four blood groups A, B, AB and O, and that blood type is determined by genetics. There are certain antigens (these could be proteins, carbohydrates and glycoproteins) that when they enter the body, the immune system produces antibodies against them. We respond differently to these antigens depending on our blood type.

Blood is classified by:
New: AB
Old: O
Agrarian: A
Nomadic: B

Blood type and diet:
Certain foods such as legumes contain a carbohydrate-binding protein called lectin. This substance is most likely to cause inflammation in the body, but it will produce stronger reactions in certain blood types. Therefore it can make you more susceptible to certain diseases and other factors like fatigue, poor digestion and weight gain.
There are a lot of chemical reactions going on in our bodies all day long, digestion is one of them and our blood type can affect how we digest the food, meaning it will be crucial in terms of weight loss or weight gain

Blood Type O
Recommended to eat:
-High-protein found in meat and fish
-Reduce carb intake
-Avoid diary

Blood Type A
Recommended to eat:
-Vegetarian diet (lots of veggies!)
-Grains (beans, legumes)

Blood Type B
Recommended to eat:
-Red Meat (avoid chicken)
-Dairy
-Fruits and vegetables

Blood Type AB
Recommended to eat:
-Lean meat
-Dairy
-Seafood
-Vegetables and legumes

Blood types and diseases:
As previously mentioned every blood type is different because of their antigens located on the surface of the red blood cells. Each blood type creates certain defenses to help fight diseases.

Blood type and personality:

Blood Type O
-Outgoing
-Initiators
-Creative
-Social
-Confident.
Blood Type A
-Most likely to be calm
-Perfectionists
-Most artistic
-Bold
-Trustworthy
-Sensitive
Blood Type B
-Goal oriented
– Strong minded
-Independent
Blood Type AB
-Split personalities: outgoing and shy
-Confident and timid
-Responsible
-Care a lot for others

Blood type and fertility:
Women chances of fertility are different in different blood groups; this happens due to the fact that the amount of a hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) varies, depending on the blood type.

Some studies to prove this theory show that women with blood types A and AB were generally less likely than others to produce the follicle-stimulating hormone.

Please note that according to many nutritionists, there is not enough scientific evidence to support these claims, and if you’re among those who manage their diet based on scientific evidence, then you have to wait for more results to come up.

Conservative Group Puts Picture of an ‘Obama Lynching’ on Their Facebook Page

These people are absolutely disgusting and that’s not just my opinion. Even the people who visited the Facebook post – some of them conservatives  –  let their feelings known, causing the owner of the page to remove the picture.

The group called America the next Generation, thought it was proper to display a picture showing a noose being placed around a man’s neck with the president’s face superimposed on the man’s body. A graphic had the words “The making if a National Holiday,” implying that the killing of the president would be celebrated as a national holiday.

Although some people were agreed the idea of the picture, the outrage was apparently too much. American the next Generation eventually removed the picture with a clarification that it was taken down out of respect for the page’s supporters who did not feel that killing the legally elected President of the United States was an appropriate way to handle a dislike of the man.

Woman Accuses Former Girlfriend of Decapitating her Sex Toys

Sticks and stones may break the bones, but decapitating her Sex toys? Oh, this fight just want to a whole new level!

That’s the accusation that Florida woman Lakenya Bristol, 32, is hurling at her former girlfriend, 37-year-old Regina Watts.

Bristol was arrested in mid-November for domestic violence, according to The Smoking Gun. After that, Watts packed up Bristol’s belongings and told her to move. When Bristol went through her items, she saw her three dildos, but their tops had been chopped off.

According to a police report uncovered by The Smoking Gun, Watts denied any sex toy sabotage and said the dildo damage must have come after she gave Bristol back her stuff.

Investigators in Indian River County have since closed the probe, citing a “lack of further investigative leads.”

School Bus Driver Couldn’t Find School – Dropped Kids Off at Bus Stop

A Queens mother says a school bus driver left several young children to fend for themselves when he couldn’t find their school.

Rochelle Mason says she dropped her 7-year-old son off at the bus stop on 224th Street and 145th Road in Springfield Gardens Thursday morning.

She says that the bus driver told the kids he did not know how to get to the school, and after making several wrong turns, returned to the bus stop and dropped off the children.

With no adults there waiting for them, they had to walk to school or walk back home.

“I was so scared. I didn’t know what to do,” said Darius Mason, Rochelle Mason’s son. “I was like, ‘Is there someone who’s going to help us?’ And then this lady who was here, she saw the bus driver just leave us there, so then she helped us, and she helped us get home.”

Rochelle Mason says she then called P.S. 181, where she says officials didn’t even realize there was a problem.

She says she called the Allied bus company, which denied that it was one of their drivers on that route.

It took over the route from the Atlantic Express bus company, which closed on December 31 and had its routes reassigned to other companies.

“At this point, I feel very uncomfortable putting him on the school bus,” Rochelle Mason said. “I can’t get any answers from the bus company. That’s not acceptable. You cannot leave children in the street.”

Allied Transit had no comment when NY1 called.

NY1 also reached out to the Department of Education for comment

What You Should Remember When The Delivery Guy Comes In This Blizzard


It’s hard out there (Dave Bledsoe/Flickr)

Hey did you guys hear there’s some weather approaching? In light of this, newly minted Mayor de Blasio has confined you to your apartment and the grocery store lines are an absolute nightmare. This can mean just one thing: elastic waist pants and delivery.

But while you’re enjoying moo shu pork in the warmth of your laptop and clanking radiator, the folks delivering your meal are slogging through snow, wind, ice and downright dangerous conditions to get to your apartment. It’s only right that your laziness be offset by generously tipping the souls braving the storm so you don’t have to. We’re sure you’re already tipping appropriately—RIGHT?!!?—but when the weather gets rough, good human beings go the extra dollar or four to take care of food delivery people. In no particular order, here are some general rules of thumb for not being a jerk tonight:

  • Throw in a few extra dollars for the incredible convenience of not having to venture into the muck. Whether or not you typically tip 20%, include an extra $2-3 dollars during bad weather. It goes a long way towards making the guys on bikes not feel quite so horrible. Doubly true if you’re ordering from the next ‘hood over instead of the cute cafe down the block.
  • Have a little patience. You’re not the only person who had the totally brilliant idea to order delivery tonight. Not only will volume likely be higher, it’s not a cake walk to get your bike through the slush while also dodging snow plows. Anticipate a longer wait time, and don’t give off an audible sigh when your food arrives later than normal.
  • Whenever possible, tip in cash. This goes for any day but it’s a good reminder that tip skimming exists through online ordering.

While They Complained about The Website, SinglePayer Went Into Effect

Did you notice the best part?

Did you see what happened when everyone was complaining about a website?

Single-payer got started in America!!!

Vermont is using authority granted in a provision under the Affordable Care Act to start a single-payer system. Most Americans still don’t know what the phrase “single-payer” even means. It had little support in Congress in 2009 and Senate “Democrats” like Nelson and Lieberman even killed the public option. But, the ACA had this sweet little provision that allowed states to set up a single-payer system and now people will see it in action. You know what that means.

As Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) opines, “The quickest route toward a national health care program will be when individual states go forward and demonstrate that universal and non-profit health care works, and that it is the cost-effective and moral thing to do.”

As many predicted, ACA is already leading to the kind of transformative progressive change Obama promised. The progressive movement will be responsible for showing the nation how well single-payer works after the Vermont system goes into effect. When public and non-profit insurance becomes the national norm, we’ll know where it began.

President Obama’s Approval Numbers Are On The Rise

The President’s poll numbers hit a low of 39% approval and 54% disapproval when this poll was taken during the December 21st to 23rd period. Around that same time, Americans were storming the healthcare.gov website signing up for policies that went into effect January 1st. But since the 39% lows, Americans are beginning to see President Obama in a whole new light and Obamacare-love seems to be the only reason, considering the President has not done anything tremendous since those lows. In fact, he is on vacation with his family.

According to the new poll taken between December 27 and December 29th, President Obama’s approval shot up to 44% and his disapproval fell to 49%. Just another small piece of evidence to prove that, unlike the Republican lie claiming that people don’t want Obamacare, they do want Obamacare and they’re loving it!

Conservative Radio god Bob Grant Dead at 84

NEW YORK (AP) — Longtime conservative radio host Bob Grant, whose combative style became the template for broadcasters such as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, has died at age 84.

Grant’s death on Tuesday in Hillsborough, N.J., after a short illness was confirmed on Thursday by New York radio station WABC, which once fired him over his acid-tongued remarks about the plane crash death of one of President Bill Clinton’s cabinet members, the first black commerce secretary.

“Remember this: If you are offended during the next two hours, it’s nobody’s fault but mine,” Grant said at the top of a broadcast featured in a 2010 tribute. “Because somebody’s got to say these things. It has to be me.”

Grant was born Robert Ciro Gigante in Chicago in 1929. He began his broadcasting career in the 1940s at WBBM in Chicago. He moved on to radio and television jobs in Los Angeles and was named afternoon drive time host at WABC in 1984.

Over the years, Grant, who was white, offended some listeners by referring to former New York Mayor David Dinkins, who’s black, as a “washroom attendant,” calling Clinton a “sleazebag” and suggesting women on welfare should be sterilized.

Republican Steve King Compares Himself to Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson

And amazingly,  his comparison was made in a fund-raising email.

According to the Des Moines Register, King’s email said that the Duck Dynasty situation “illustrates the left’s unspoken rule that tolerance is a one way street. Conservatives are to be tolerant of liberal ideology; however, the left need not be tolerant of conservative Christians.”

King continued:

I have been in similar situations to the one Phil Robertson finds himself in now. I have learned to navigate their intolerance while holding firm to our values. Whether it’s the Robertsons or anyone who finds themselves in the crosshairs of the media or a leftist hyperventilater sitting across the table at the local diner, employ this strategy:

Don’t back down. If you are right and you are standing on principle, whatever you do, don’t back down. The second you back down, they win.

Don’t apologize. John Wayne said, “Never apologize. It’s a sign of weakness.” I agree, unless we are wrong and we are not wrong.

Double down. Americans recognize courage and conviction. If the left attacks our conservative beliefs, I say, “If you don’t like that, here’s some more.”

Never waiver from the truth. This includes taking on all the left’s false premises before they become the perceived truth. The left is not held accountable to the truth — it is our duty to expose them. Objective truth is a shield protecting us from the left.

Tolerance has never been a two-way street with the left. Time and time again conservatives are lambasted for stating their opinions, the opinions derived from faith, family, and an understanding of history. Once again the left encourages a double standard to advance their agenda.

As you know, I have not and will not back down. And like other conservatives who stand their ground, I’m always a top target of the left.

King went on to explain that with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) retiring and Col. Allen West no longer in the House, he is the “last one standing” when it comes to major conservative targets up for re-election.
