Nyle DiMarco: Could He Be the Next Bachelor??

Fresh off his first place win earlier this week on Dancing With the Stars , Nyle DiMarco is already considering another turn in the spotlight. It would appear that reality TV really is his bag, as the former America’s Next Top Model winner is already contemplating joining The Bachelor . “I mean, I don’t know. Let’s see if they reach out to me and see what happens,” the star, who is deaf, told Us Weekly . “We’ll see what happens,” he added. “I think it’s funny because it would be kind of awkward to have an interpreter involved during the whole thing.” Aww, that could be cute to see the contestants try to learn sign language, like that scene in Four Weddings and a Funeral when the cute deaf guy asked the girl to dance and she signed, “That would be mice.” But DiMarco makes a good point: “[The fantasy suite] would be a triangle,” he joked. Oof. Yeah, that could get awkward. View Slideshow: Dancing With the Stars Season 22 Premiere: All the Performances! However, DiMarco is single, and his identification as sexually fluid could really spice things up on the dating show, which has been running for 20 seasons. The Bachelor franchise has come under fire for lack of diversity in the past. Earlier this year, ABC addressed the possibility of casting a black bachelor in the role, but no confirmation was made. Could DiMarco be the first deaf, sexually fluid Bachelor? Prior to his mirror ball trophy win, the handsome star dedicated his final DWTS performance to the deaf community, particularly hearing impaired children. “There’s about 70 million deaf people in the world and only two percent have access to education and 75 percent of parents don’t sign to their deaf kids,” he said. “The show has made me realize how I can impact other lives,” he continued. “It’s not really about me. It’s about the millions of deaf people that live.” I bet there’d be tons of ladies willing to accept a rose from that charmer. View Slideshow: 16 Most Shocking Bachelor and Bachelorette Finales EVER

Young Jeezy: Arrested Again, Accused of Harassing Cops

Young Jeezy has been arrested, again. The rapper was busted outside Atlanta and booked for obstructing police officers, according to multiple reports. Jeezy was arrested in Alpharetta, Ga., after officers responded to an alarm call at his girlfriend’s home. It is not clear who or what triggered the alarm. However, Jeezy was uncooperative with officers , refusing to identify himself, and allegedly cursing them out, which led to an ugly situation and an arrest. TMZ says that when asked for his name and ID, he replied, “F–k you, I ain’t telling you.” Always ends well. Then he attempted to pull away from the handcuffs. Another traditionally smart move, without a doubt. Jeezy was arrested earlier this month for battery, false imprisonment and making terroristic threats after a blowout fight with his son, so this is not new for him. He is currently in Fulton County Jail.

Loraine Allison, Titanic Survivor, Exposed as Fraud By DNA Test

Loraine Allison, who came forward decades after the Titanic sank and claimed to be a young girl reported dead in the disaster, has been proven to be a fraud. Helen Kramer, who passed away in 1992, mounted a campaign for the surviving members of the affluent, Canadian family to accept her as Loraine Allison. That baby girl was killed aboard the doomed RMS Titanic in 1912. However, recent DNA tests by the Loraine Allison Identification Project show no genetic link between the Kramer and Allison family’s descendants. At all. DNA Test Proves Titanic Survivor Was Fraud “We have received the results of mtDNA testing,” the Loraine Allison Identification Project wrote, referring to a type of DNA passed down through the female line. “The results confirm that Mrs. Kramer was NOT Loraine Allison .” If true, this means Loraine Allison was in fact the only child to die from the first or second class on the iconic vessel. Sixty other children died aboard the Titanic. The Telegraph reported on the new DNA tests yesterday and spoke about the bombshell results with David Allison, grandson of Loraine’s uncle Percy Allison: “The Allisons never accepted Mrs. Kramer’s claim, but the stress it caused was real. It forced my ancestors to relive painful memories … immeasurable sorrow and unending grief.” His sister Nancy Bergman, added that the findings “uncovered a colossal fraud that has haunted my family for years. It was all about the money.” “Debrina wants to write a book and no doubt there are others out there who want to profit from our story. It is our story. Leave us in peace.” The whole identification fiasco stems from the fact that little Loraine’s body was never recovered, despite early news reports saying that she perished. In 1940, Kramer went public with the claim that she was saved. She said that at the last monute, Hudson Allison, Loraine’s father, placed her in a lifeboat with a man she grew up believing was her biological father. Her adoptive father, she said, told her about her true identify and history. He also said he was Thomas Andrews, the naval architect who designed the Titanic. These claims could not be verified, of course, because the man died shortly after telling her, according to the Loraine Allison Identification Project. None of Kramer’s immediate family believed her, but others did. In 2012, Debrina Woods, a woman saying she is Kramer’s granddaughter, said that she found a suitcase filled with letters between Kramer and her lawyer. This “proved” she was Loraine, to the chagrin of the Allisons. “What Ms. Woods doesn’t have yet is forensically certifiable proof of anything,” the Loraine Allison Identification Project said on its website this week. “Despite numerous inquiries from Titanic researchers and interested people from all over the world, Ms. Woods has never released her alleged DNA results.”

Perverts: Teen Rushed To Hospital After She Fainted But Was Sexually Abused By Emergency Room Worker

Damn, it’s not even safe in the hospital. Teen Says She Was Sexually Abused In Hospital She went in to get checked out and got “touched.” The emergency room worker needs his azz kicked. According to The NY Daily News A Brooklyn teen who was rushed to the hospital after she fainted on a subway train was sexually abused by an emergency room worker who was supposed to be taking her blood pressure, the Daily News has learned. The 18-year-old victim was in and out of consciousness Thursday around 7 p.m. when the sicko worker at Brooklyn Hospital Center allegedly grabbed her hand and repeatedly put it on his crotch. “I remember a nurse or someone trying to put a blood-pressure cuff around my arm,” the victim, whose name The News is withholding, said recalling the moment the sicko sexually assaulted her. “That’s when I started to wake up,” she said, tears rolling down her cheeks. “The only thing that was going through my mind was, ‘Open your eyes so you can see his face.’ ” Her mother was on the other side of the curtain when the sickening assault took place, the victim said Saturday. The victim’s nightmare began when she boarded an A train at the Jay St.-MetroTech station station around noon to meet some friends at Chelsea Piers. She started to feel dizzy and queasy on the train. “The next thing I know, I blacked out,” she said. She recalls people asking her questions and going through her bag in search of her identification. She even remembers EMTs lifting her onto a stretcher. SMH. “I couldn’t open my eyes,” she said. “I couldn’t speak. I just had in-and-out hearing.” The next thing she heard was the sound of her mother’s voice in the emergency room, followed by the sound of a curtain closing. The hospital worker asked her mother to step to the other side of the curtain so he could check her blood pressure. The worker left before she could open her eyes. She told her mom everything. “She grabbed my hand and told me what he did,” the victim’s 37-year-old mother said. “I couldn’t process it.” “I was beyond shocked,” she added. “The last place you would believe that would happen is in the hospital.” The victim’s father rushed to the hospital and called police. But the brazen suspect returned and claimed he had to run an EKG on the victim. Her dad told him to get lost. By the time police arrived, the worker was nowhere to be found, the family said. “She’s traumatized,” the victim’s 55-year-old father said. “I just want some justice for my daughter.” Cops say they are looking to question a 55-year-old suspect. A Brooklyn Hospital spokeswoman declined to comment. The woman was admitted to the hospital and released Friday. “I feel bad that he would go so low, that he is in such a dark place that he has to go so low,” the girl said of the suspect. “If anything, I feel bad for him.” She feels bad for him? That’s messed up. Shutterstock

Elsewhere In The World: Innocent Mormon Mom Jailed For Smuggling Drugs Into Mexico

We are never going to Mexico . They beheading people and locking them up. Mom Of Seven Jailed On Drug Charges In Mexico According to ABC News The family of an Arizona mother of seven who was detained on drug charges in Mexico said they are hopeful she will be released today after what they say is evidence of her innocence is presented to a judge. Yanira Maldonado, 41, was detained last Wednesday in Hermosillo, Mexico, after authorities said they found drugs under her bus seat. “We fully expect Yanira to be released as the evidence of her innocence is overwhelming. We have been gathering witnesses, letters, and other evidence for the case all day yesterday and this morning,” her brother-in-law Brandon Klippel told ABCNews.com in an email. The family’s ordeal began last Wednesday when Maldonado and her husband, Gary–both US citizens–were returning from a funeral in Mexico when the bus they were traveling on was stopped at a military checkpoint outside of Hermosillo, Sonora, Klippel said. Everyone was ordered off the bus and huddled in a small room with an x-ray machine for their luggage, Klippel said. “After everyone on the bus had been waiting over two hours a soldier approached Gary, took his identification and said ‘unfortunately there were drugs found under your seat,’” Klippel wrote in an account on the family’s Facebook page. Maldonado waited for an attorney, according to Klippel, when authorities told him he was free to go and that the drugs were actually found beneath Yanira’s bus seat and she was being arrested. The family said an attorney told them they could bribe the judge, so Maldonado frantically had family wire him $5,000 for the bribe. But he says though the money was offered it was not accepted. Maldonado was told later that his wife had been transferred to a holding facility in the border town of Nogales, Klippel said. If a judge rules against Maldonado, Klippel said she could wait in jail for months while police investigate her case. The office of U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake said he is monitoring the case and has been in contact with Maldonado’s family, as well as officials in Mexico and the U.S. Do you think Mexico is jailing innocent Americans as a power play?

Newtown Didn’t Happen, Professor Claims

A professor is causing befuddlement and outrage with recent claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., did not occur. The Daily Mail reported that James Tracy, a tenured history professor at Florida Atlantic University, wrote this in a lengthy post on his personal blog. Tracy explores what he says is the possibility that the Newtown shooting may not have happened the way that it is widely believed, if it happened at all. The 47-year-old professor bases his claims largely on the flurry of conflicting media reports that were made as news of the shooting was released. The Daily Mail also reported that the school has distanced itself from the professor. “While it sounds outrageous, one is left to inquire whether the Sandy Hook shooting ever took place, at least in the way law enforcement authorities and the news media have described,” he says. On his blog, he hits a number of other conspiracy theories: September 11, the purview of the Department of Homeland Security, the PATRIOT Act, the death of Osama bin Laden and Fukishima. In his latest shocking claim, he focuses much of his attention on the fact that early reports claimed that police were either searching for or had two suspects in custody. The story then progressed that Ryan Lanza was the lone gunman, based reportedly on the identification that the shooter had on him at the time of the attack. Ryan, 24, was then found at his home in Hoboken, N.J. – two states away from where his 20-year-old brother Adam, the actual shooter, committed the atrocities. Police say Adam Lanza opened fire inside the Connecticut elementary school, killing 20 children and six adults. Police say Lanza then killed himself.

Race Matters: Ex-Gang Member Exonerated After Serving 19-Years In Prison!

Justice served? Thanks to a corrupt system and false testimonies , 37-year-old John Edward Smith has been in jail…serving 19 years of his TWO life term sentences for murder. What’s got us so angry about this case is the LAPD’s internal affairs department ignored polygraph tests and repeated reports made by the witness; admitting before and after the sentencing that he’d falsely accused Smith. According to the LA Times… “I had days when I was really frustrated, but I knew I couldn’t stop,” John Edward Smith said of his bid for release in a phone interview minutes after he walked out a free man. He said he was most dazed by the lights of downtown Los Angeles and Staples Center, and was looking forward to going home and hugging his grandmother. Smith said he was putting the details of his case out of his mind and focusing on the small steps to rebuild a life on the outside, like getting a driver’s license. During 19 years behind bars, Smith, a 37-year-old former gang member, adamantly maintained his innocence in the drive-by shooting, insisting that he was miles away at his grandmother’s house at the time of the crime. His claims went unheard until three years ago, when a fledgling wrongful convictions group, Innocence Matters, took his case and identified problems with the testimony of the lone witness to identify him as the killer. The man subsequently recanted and at a brief and raucous hearing Monday afternoon, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge vacated his conviction. Smith’s relatives and friends erupted in cheers as Judge Patricia Schnegg, the supervising criminal judge, said she was setting aside the 1995 verdict because Smith’s conviction rested almost entirely on perjured testimony….The judge’s ruling came after the district attorney’s office completed its own yearlong investigation and determined that the witness, a high school student injured in the shooting, had lied on the stand. That teenager, Landu Mvuemba, told Smith’s lawyers that LAPD detectives had pressured him into the identification and that he had tried on a number of occasions over the years to alert authorities about his false statements. Smith offered the jury an alibi: He was with a girlfriend and two others at his grandmother’s house nearly three miles away. But the jury believed Mvuemba, convicting Smith of murder and attempted murder after three hours of deliberations. He was given two life sentences. Smith’s family, including his grandmother Laura Neal, firmly believed in his innocence. At one point, his grandparents mortgaged their house to pay an appellate law firm $65,000. Mvuemba said he soon regretted it and reported his concerns to LAPD internal affairs twice. He even told the courtroom bailiff as he prepared to take the witness stand, he said. No one did anything, he said. He and Smith later took polygraph tests. Both passed. Outside the courthouse, Smith’s grandmother, a frail women who uses a walker, said she had willed herself to stay alive until he was free. “There was a part of me that was in there too,” she said of his prison stay. “I am free now.” It’s sad that one false testimony can have such a heavy impact on your life. We’d like to think the LAPD might feel some repercussion after ignoring Mvuemba and other members of Smith’s family for so many years…but we know what kind of world we live in. Images via KTLA

Mexico Providing ID’s for Illegals in US

The Mexican government is opening a satellite consular office on Catalina Island — a small resort off the California coast with a history of drug smuggling and human trafficking — to provide the island's illegal Mexican immigrants with identification cards, The Washington Examiner has learned. The Mexican consular office in Los Angeles issued a flier, a copy of which was obtained by The Examiner, listing the Catalina Island Country Club as the location of its satellite office. It invites Mexicans to visit the office to obtain the identification, called matricular cards, by appointment. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican whose district includes Catalina Island, said handing out matricular cards will exacerbate an already dangerous situation. “Handing out matricular cards to Mexicans who are not in this country legally is wrong no matter where it's done,” he said. “But on Catalina it will do more damage. It's a small island but there's evidence it's being used as a portal for illegals to access mainland California.” Rohrabacher added, “If there were a large number of Americans illegally in Mexico and the U.S. consulate was making it easier for them to stay, Mexico would never permit it.” Mexican officials with the consular office in Los Angeles could not be reached immediately for comment. The matricular consular identification card, is issued by the Mexican government to Mexican nationals residing outside the country, regardless of immigration status. The purpose is to provide identification for opening bank accounts and obtaining other services. But the cards are usually used to skirt U.S. immigration laws, since Mexicans in the country legally have documents proving that status, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said. In 2004 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI officials called the card an unreliable form of identification. The agency said that Mexico lacks a centralized database for them, which could lead to forgery, duplication, and other forms of abuse. Officers with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said their agency was asked by Mexican officials not to enforce U.S. immigration laws on the island while the cards were being issued. “It amazes me every time that the Mexican government has the gall to tell us what to do,” said an ICE official, who asked not to be named. “More surprisingly is how many times we stand by and let them. This is just an example of one of hundreds of requests we've had to deal with.” In April, Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies seized a boat carrying large quantities of marijuana and detained three Mexican nationals who said they were being smuggled into the United States. The island has a sizable Mexican migrant population. Most are undocumented low-income workers. added by: diode
