Pay Yo Bills: Birdman Finally Pays $2 Million In Back Taxes After The IRS Threatened To Do This

Birdman Pays $2 Million In Back Taxes After IRS Threatened To Take Assets Birdman rubbed his hands together and finally paid off millions in back taxes… Via TMZ : Lil Wayne and the IRS have something in common — they both wanted millions from Birdman — but only one of ’em got the Cash Money honcho to cough up the dough, and Weezy’s not the one smiling. The music mogul was slapped with two federal tax liens – – one in December 2014, the other in February 2015 — for refusing to pay a total of $1,942,400.58 in back taxes. Birdman quickly learned no one’s more gangsta than Uncle Sam — the feds threatened to snatch up his property and assets if he didn’t pay ASAP … and within a few months, Birdman paid off the debt. Maybe Wayne should ask the real OG’s (our government) to get “Tha Carter V” released. Too bad no one else on Cash Money will ever see those millions though!

Christmas Time Terror Rhetoric Right On Schedule

This is almost laughable. These supposed terror threats are in reality completely exaggerated scare tactics used to push the threat of non existent cave dwelling ninjas. Al Qaeda was created by our government to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, as admitted by multiple mainstream news outlets. Iraqi officials have claimed that captured insurgents have told them of a plan to commit suicide attacks in the United States and Europe. This has prompted government officials to contact state and local authorities about the threat and to remain vigilant and look for any suspicious activity. http://www.activistpost.com/2010/12/christmas-time-terror-rhetoric-right-on.html… added by: riverratt50

Jon Stewart on McCain’s Anti-Net-Neutrality Bill

John McCain, the most in-touch-with-technology member of our government, has introduced a bill similar to Larry Craig’s No Handjobs for Me, Thanks Act, and it promises to make the Google-tubes as fair as America. Or something
