Someone call Olivia Pope! New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie is going to need some help getting out of this scandal!
As I was up waiting to watch the encore of last night's new episode of American Horror Story: Coven(great show by the way), I happened to click through the channels to see Anderson Cooper's show on CNN talking about everyone's favorite bipartisan Governer. However this story may change your mind.
Allegedly Governor Christie's office ordered to close lanes in Fort Lee, NJ causing major traffic jams on the George Washington Bridge, one of the busiest bridges. It is claimed that the lane closings were payback to the city's democratic mayor's refusal to endorse Christie. As CNN reported, Governor Christie was the "best hope" for Republicans to win the White House in 2016.
Christie claims that he was unaware of his camp being involved in this sticky situation. An investigation has been opened to get to what really happened. However Ft. Lee's Mayor, Mark Sokolich had this to say on Wolf Blitzer's show:
Do you believe him? Is this going to give Hillary Clinton the win for 2016? Comment and share you thoughts below.
After the George Zimmerman trial a lot of articles were coming up about race in America. As I was scrolling on the internet looking up random things like I always do, I came across a very interesting article about stereotypes and perception.
Most people are familiar with the young black male that was caught joy riding in his grandmother's car because he "likes to do bad things." The same incident happened with a young white male. Instead of criminalizing this child, his deviance was portrayed as something cute and innocent.
The article interested me even more because it was written by a Caucasian woman, Dr. Lisa Wade. Dr. Wade is a professor at Occidental College as well as the Chair of the Sociology Department there. She inspires her students and the public to "think sociologically."
On a happier note this tragic weekend, a little girl that was abducted in Lancaster, PA is now safe and sound thanks to Temar Boggs.
The fifteen year old and his friends were helping out an elderly woman in the neighborhood when they found out that five year old Jocelyn Rojas was missing.
"We got all of our friends to go look for her. We made our own little search party," said Boggs.
On this night, July 13, 2013 was a night of surprise and emotion...
After weeks in court, Florida prosecutors suffered a disappointing loss to the defense team of murderer George Zimmerman after a jury of six females found him NOT GUILTY!
While some are out celebrating, many are at a loss for words that George Zimmerman was acquitted.
I have been confused on why people are on George Zimmerman's side for this case. You would think that everyone agrees that he is guilty for obvious reasons. All this money and time wasted towards this man that pursued a young man that was just visiting his father baffles me...
At first it wasn't even about race. It was about common sense. The dispatcher told Zimmerman that he didn't need to follow this kid and he said "Ok." However he pursued this young man with an intent to harrass him and take the law into his own hands. When he started getting his butt kicked he shot him multiple times in the chest.
Last week Food Network decided not to renew Paula Deen's contract after her court deposition revealed that she has used the n-word as well as discussing her slave themed Shirley Temple/Plantation inspired wedding reception for her brother Bubba.
Smithfield Foods is following suit dropping Deen as a spokeswoman for their brand. They sell ham with her face on the packaging.
I know Paula Deen was having acottonfield day Friday!
Thursday the Twitter world went crazy after the National Enquirer reported that Food Network star Paula Deen admitted to using racial slurs in a deposition transcript! Deen and her brother are being sued by a former employee. During the three hour deposition, Deen admitted to saying the n-word as well as making racial joke. She also addressed having middle aged black men dress as slaves for her brother's wedding.
The woman who falsely accused former prep football superstar Brian Banks of raping her was ordered to pay $2.6 million by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge.
Four people were shot dead at AK Home Healthcare, LLC, a health care business located at the Cherokee Place Business Incubator in South St. Louis this afternoon.
Two were men and two were women all in their 40s and 50s. All of them were involved with the business. Police believe the gunman may have been one of the business owners.
It has been over a year since Trayvon Martin was taken away from his family by a "self-appointed" Neighborhood Watch leader George Zimmerman yet the trial is just beginning to take place. After being denied extra time to prepare for the case (like a year wasn't enough time), the pre-trial has begun today for George Zimmerman with a jury selection.
Lifetime Network better hurry up and get the rights to turn this saga into a movie!
35 year old unknown actress, Shannon Rogers Guess, was arrested yesterday for allegedly sending several ricin laced letters to President Barack Obama as well as to Mayor Bloomberg.

George Zimmerman's lawyers are at it again. First they leaked items from Trayvon Martin's phone (a sneaky move from the murderer's team). Now they are requesting that any negative descriptions of Zimmerman be banned from opening statements.
Thanks to my husband watching his Star Trek show I was able to miss this one on my local news last night. 33 year old Orlando Shaw is a father of 22 children by 14 women and is involved in one of Metro's most expensive child support cases.

Tisk. Tisk. Tisk. I don't know how I feel about this situation guys. Yesterday a 35 year old woman was formally charged for assaulting an ABC6 reporter and photographer in Providence, Rhode Island. Melissa Lawrence attacked Abbey Niezgoda and photojournalist Marc Jackson with rocks and her dogs while the two were on a assignment to interview her.
They were there to get a reaction from her after they young man that shot Lawrence's teenage daughter in the back had turned himself in. An altercation erupted during a graduation party hosted at house a few days ago.
Zimmerman strikes again! According to CNN, George Zimmerman's lawyers released info from his murder victim Trayvon Martin's cell phone. It includes text messages discussing drugs and guns.
Lead defense attorney Mark O' Mara said that they will try to use the evidence against Trayvon if prosecutors attempted to attack Zimmerman's character.
After all of these years since the famous MJ molestation case, there is a new "victim" trying to get some sympathy coins.
Dancer/Actor Wade Robson claims that he was molested by Michael Jackson years ago as a child (You may remember seeing him in the movie You Got Served).
It seems that someone took the phrase "act like a lady, but think like a man" a little too far. Colombian fugitive, Giovanni Rebolledo, fled from prison in Bogota after being sentenced for 60 years for extortion, kidnapping, drug trafficking as well as other charges for crimes committed by him and other members of the Los Topos gang. While on the run he had a few body altering surgeries.
