Donald Trump Talks Presidency, Puts Oreos on Blast

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

At least for a few moments, Donald Trump has moved on from Mexicans and Megyn Kelly to focus on a problem truly threatening to bring America down: Oreos. Wait… what?!? Because parent company Nabisco has shipped jobs out of the country, Trump tells the latest issue of Rolling Stone that he’s dead serious is making America better, one deprived dessert item at a time. “I meant what I said: No more Oreos for Trump!” The Donald declares to the magazine. Trump also tells the publication that he’s “owned by the people,” meaning he’s financing his own campaign and is therefore not beholden to donors or lobbyists. Among other items touched on by the mocker of Asians : U-S-A! U-S-A! I’d renegotiate trade deals so that our country becomes rich again, and end deals where car manufacturers go to other countries. I’m gonna have them built right here. A Promise to the People:  I’m no angel, but I’m gonna do right by them! All About the Benjamins:   I make $400 to $600 million a year. Carly Fiorina:  Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious? Ivanka Trump : Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father… What Will He Do About ISIS?  We gotta waterboard ’em, don’t you agree?

“I Will Never Forget And I Have Not Forgiven”, Trayvon’s Mother Speaks In New Interview

Posted on August 15, 2015 by Benny Hollywood

Sybrina Fulton Speaks Up About Legacy Of Son Trayvon And Why She’s Chosen To Lead A Movement Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin spoke in a lengthy interview with NY Mag recently, sharing her feelings since the murder of her son and the acquittal of his killer George Zimmerman. There are some gems in the Q&A and what stands out is her raw honesty with the magazine, what she feels about police violence, Black Lives Matter and her feelings on forgiveness. You can read a few questions and her responses below: via NY Mag You were put on the national stage when Trayvon was murdered. Are you comfortable with your role? No. I wanted the position to go to somebody else. I wanted somebody else to be the spokesperson for the victims that you don’t know the names of, and haven’t seen on the news. I struggled with this for a long time. After many tears, and many nights on the floor, and many prayers, I said, “I can do better.” I knew I could do better than to open my eyes, look in my hand, and just have nothing there but tears. I have to do my part, I have to do something to remember my son. I have to do something to try to make a difference in this world and try to do something to bring awareness to racial profiling, gun violence, and just the evilness that’s going on right now.   Just days after the Charleston shooting, many victims’ relatives said they’d already forgiven Dylann Roof. Your response was a bit different. After George Zimmerman was acquitted, you said that as a Christian you have to forgive him, but it would take time. Have you gotten there yet? I’m very honest about my feelings and I have not gotten there. I think the wounds to me are too fresh, and everybody forgives in their own time. I’m just not there. I will never forget, and I have not forgiven. It’s a process. I carry it every day and I’m just not there.   Do you think the federal government is doing enough to address violence against people of color? Absolutely not. I just don’t feel like it’s enough. If the tables were turned and it was their family member, if it was their friends, and if it was happening to their community, then they would be doing a lot more. I think because it’s African-Americans it doesn’t seem as important. We all feel that the government should be more of the voice for the people. I mean, I am an American citizen and I have certain rights, but I feel like those rights are being ignored by the government. When one of these tragedies happens and the victim is unarmed, it seems like there should automatically be an investigation by a third party. It should not be somebody from that same department investigating their own. It just does not feel like the scale of justice is in our favor at all. A lot of times [the government] concentrates so much on other countries, but right here in our own country, we have not only whites murdering our young African-American men and women, but also black-on-black crime. That should be a major focus as well. She spoke the truth! Continue reading →

Elsewhere In The World: Iran Makes Homosexuals Get Gender Reassignment Surgery To Fit Into Society

Posted on November 5, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Very interesting… Iranian Government Pushes Homosexuals To Gender Reassignment Iran reports having “no homosexuals” in their society , but that seems to be due to the fact that they are either forced out due to harsh discrimination, or coaxed into living their lives as the opposite gender in order to conform to male/female relationship norms. The results are unsurprisingly damaging in the long-run for gay citizens who have no real desire to become transgendered. Via BBCnews : It’s not official government policy to force gay men or women to undergo gender reassignment but the pressure can be intense. In the 1980’s the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa allowing gender reassignment surgery – apparently after being moved by a meeting with a woman who said she was trapped in a man’s body. Shabnam – not her real name – who is a psychologist at a state-run clinic in Iran says some gay people now end up being pushed towards surgery. Doctors are told to tell gay men and women that they are “sick” and need treatment, she says. They usually refer them to clerics who tell them to strengthen their faith by saying their daily prayers properly. But medical treatments are also offered. And because the authorities “do not know the difference between identity and sexuality”, as Shabnam puts it, doctors tell the patients they need to undergo gender reassignment. In many countries this procedure involves psychotherapy, hormone treatment and sometimes major life-changing operations – a complex process that takes many years. That’s not always the case in Iran. “They show how easy it can be,” Shabnam says. “They promise to give you legal documents and, even before the surgery, permission to walk in the street wearing whatever you like. They promise to give you a loan to pay for the surgery.” Supporters of the government’s policy argue that transgender Iranians are given help to lead fulfilling lives, and have more freedom than in many other countries. But the concern is that gender reassignment surgery is being offered to people who are not transgender, but homosexual, and may lack the information to know the difference. This is pretty invasive stuff…same sex attraction doesn’t make you a transgender. But I guess if you want to love who you love and have peace in that nation, you have to get with the program and have your parts sliced up. What do you think, Bossip Fam??

Bruce Jenner, Kardashian Sisters Furious Over Baby Sis Kylie’s Eurotrip With Tyga

Posted on October 24, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Good to see someone cares what this little girl is up to! Kardashian Sisters, Bruce Jenner Angry About Kylie Jenner’s Trip With Tyga Kylie Jenner has been jet-setting all over Europe with her boo-thang really good friend Tyga — who happens to be newly single and 7 years her senior — in all the countries where their swirl lovin’ is completely legal. Kris seems to be cool with it, but looks like the rest of the family is none too pleased with Kylie’s little overseas sexcapade. Via TheHollywoodGossip : Last week, Kylie Jenner went to Europe with Tyga, in order to join the rapper on tour. The trip has been widely criticized, as Kylie is 17, Tyga is 24, and all of the countries they’ve visited have lower ages of consent than the United States. Needless to say, no one is more concerned about Kylie than her family, and sources claim Bruce Jenner and the Kardashian sisters are all very pissed off that Kylie was permitted to travel internationally with her much older boyfriend. “Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney are all extremely angry because Kylie is their baby and they don’t think she should be globetrotting Europe unsupervised,” says a family friend. “[Kylie] told Kris that she’s going to help her music career and learn the ins and outs, but they simply don’t buy it.” Yeah we BET Tyga’s teaching her some “ins and outs” on this little trip… Yes, the sisters blame Kris for Kylie’s troubling relationship, and it’s not hard to see why. Kris claims Kylie and Tyga are not dating, despite loads of evidence to the contrary. Tyga also claims he and Kylie are just friends, but the two have been spotted sharing intimate dinners and holding hands in public. The insider claims Bruce, Kim, and company have nothing against Tyga as a person, and they really just have one complaint about the situation: Kylie is simply too young. During an argument, Bruce reportedly told Kris point blank, “When she is 18, she can do whatever she wants, but not until then.” Sounds reasonable to us! Looks like she’s already doing what she wants with a grown-azz man right about now. Do you think the rest of the family will be able to reign her in when none of them live in the home and her mother is already letting her run wild?

David Haines Executed By ISIS; Aid Worker’s Death Condemned Internationally

Posted on September 14, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Islamic State militants released a video Saturday showing the beheading of aid worker David Haines, the latest in a disturbing series of such executions. David Haines Killed By ISIS The 44-year-old Haines, who was British, was abducted in Syria in 2013 while working for an international aid agency. His whereabouts had been unknown. The British government had kept the kidnapping secret out of concern for his safety until another video was recently released by Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. ISIS’ video identified him as a captive, showing him in an orange jumpsuit and calling out Prime Minister David Cameron personally for his soon-to-be beheading. The British Foreign Office had said late Saturday that it was “working urgently to verify the video,” but Cameron’s statement left little room for ambiguity: “The murder of David Haines is an act of pure evil. My heart goes out to his family who have shown extraordinary courage and fortitude.” “We will do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes,” Cameron added. President Barack Obama commented that “The United States strongly condemns the barbaric murder of UK citizen David Haines by the terrorist group ISIL.” British Aid Worker Killed, Video Posted By ISIS “Our hearts go out to the family of Mr. Haines and to the people of the United Kingdom. The United States stands shoulder to shoulder tonight with our close friend and ally in grief and resolve.” “We will work with the United Kingdom and a broad coalition of nations from the region and around the world to bring the perpetrators of this outrageous act to justice.” As he said in his address to the nation last week, Obama vowed “degrade and destroy this threat to the people of our countries, the region and the world.” As in the sickening beheading videos of Steven Sotloff and James Foley , the executioner, dressed in black and speaking with an English accent, addressed Cameron. “This British man has to the pay the price for your promise, Cameron, to arm the Peshmerga against the Islamic State,” the militant says. “If you, Cameron, persist in fighting the Islamic State then you like your master Obama will have the blood of your people on your hands.” Steven Sotloff Executed By Islamic State James Foley Executed By Islamic Militants

Justin Bieber Facetimes With Pakistani Activist MulalaYousafzai, Internet gets Pissed Off

Posted on August 8, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Justin Bieber’s forays into the worlds of international politics and social issues have historically ended badly. First there was that time he called Anne Frank a Belieber . Then, of course, there was that ugly episode in which Bieber made Rob Ford smoke crack (seriously). However, it seemed like there was no risk involved in Justin’s latest attempt to do some good in the world. The Biebs facetimed recently with Malala Yousafzai, a 17-year-old Pakistani who was shot by a Taliban assassin in 2012 as a result of her efforts to make it safe for Pakistani girls to receive an education. Bieber posted the above photo of his unlikely chat session, and the Internet, as it is wont to do, went ape dookie: “Like he even knew who she was before his PR team told him,” wrote one commenter. “Jesus of all the celebs more worthy of her time what has that poor girl done to get landed with that little sh-t?” wrote another. Another (hilariously) added: “Malala take his money girl. You are probably going to do more good with his money than he ever will in a lifetime.” While there’s certainly some truth to be found in all of those quotes,it should be noted that Malala is said to be a fan of Bieber’s (unlike Anne Frank), and Pakistan is one of the countries where he still has a huge following in her age group. Sadly, Pakistanis have limited access to celebrity gossip , so she probably has no idea what a bag he’s become. Things Celebrities Have Said About Justin Bieber Justin Bieber is a f-cking moron… I feel bad for him. Every single person who works with him should f-cking be embarrassed. Patrick Carney Permalink: Such an A-Hole! Added: May 10, 2014 1. Such an A-Hole! Justin Bieber is a f-cking moron… I feel bad for him. Every single person who works with him should f-cking be embarrassed.

Elsewhere In The World: 42 Convicted Criminals Executed In Iraq Over A 2-Day Period

Posted on October 11, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

And we thought the justice system was harsh in our country… 42 Criminals Executed In Iraq over 2-Day Period More than three dozen people found guilty of crimes were executed in Iraq recently over the course of a 2-day period. via NBC News Iraq executed 42 people, including a woman, for mass killings and other “terrorism” offenses over the past week, the justice ministry and the United Nations said following a surge in sectarian violence. The U.N. mission in Iraq said on Thursday it was concerned about the executions, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Amnesty International described the news as “extremely alarming.” Both urged Baghdad to immediately suspend the death penalty, which rights groups say has been used with increasing frequency by Iraqi authorities in recent years. Sixty-eight death sentences were carried out in 2011, according to Amnesty. The 42 hanged this week amounted to almost a third of the total number the campaign group said were put to death in all of 2012, when Iraq ranked third in a list of countries that carried out the most executions, behind China and Iran. “The criminals were found guilty of terrorist crimes… (that) led to the deaths of dozens of innocent citizens, as well as other crimes aimed at destabilizing the security and stability of the country and causing chaos and terror among the people,” Minister of Justice Hassan al-Shimary said in a statement. Do you agree with the way that other countries reprimand their criminals? Shuttesrtock Continue reading →

Race Matters? Survey Shows 1 In 4 Men In Asia Have Sexually Assaulted A Woman

Posted on September 10, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Does this explain the sexual assault phenomenon in India ? Via N Y Daily News reports : Nearly one in four men surveyed in Asia say they have sexually assaulted a woman at least once according to a disturbing new report. Among men interviewed in Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Sri Lanka 1 in 10 said he had forced sex with a woman who wasn’t his partner. The rate rose by 24 percent when partners were included. Researchers behind the study published in The Lancet Global Health Journal on Tuesday said they hoped to deepen the understanding of men’s use of violence against women in order to prevent it. Through their efforts, 10,000 men between 18 and 49 years of age were interviewed in private surveys that never used to word “r*pe.” Instead, the men read sexual and/or physically violent scenarios and were asked if they had ever acted that way either toward a partner or non-partner. A little under half admitted to having forced sex more than one woman, with the numbers drastically rising or falling by region. Among the nine sites surveyed within the countries, the most men admitting to being physically violent and/or sexually violent with a partner were in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, where an overwhelming 80% of men admitted to such behavior. Papua, Indonesia came in second with 60% of men. In contrast two other Indonesian sites described simply as “urban” and “rural” contained the survey’s least amount of men that admitted to such behavior. Among the reasons cited, the most common reported was men’s claimed sense of sexual entitlement. That was followed by claims of motivation out of fun or boredom, anger or punishment, and lastly drinking. More information about the report and gender-based violence prevention can be found at Partners4Prevention.org. SMH this is a damned shame. It sounds like a whole lot of women’s rights education needs to be done in other parts of the world. Hell, we could use more here too! Facebook
