Not just Taco Tuesday and National Taco Day (October 4). Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit According to NationalCalendarDay.com , “The history of tacos predates the arrival of Europeans in Mexico. Anthropological evidence shows the native people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate tacos filled with small fish. At the time of the Spanish conquistadors, Bernal Diaz del Castillo documented the first taco feast enjoyed by Europeans. This meal was arranged by Hernan Cortes for his captains in Coyoacan. It is unclear why the Spanish used the word taco to describe this native food. One suggested origin is the word ataco, meaning stuff or to stuff.” SEE ALSO:  8 Signs You’re Really Stressed Out For taco lovers, there’s a ton of places to get taco deals. In addition to the Taco Tuesday norms, Taco Bell, for example, offers a $5 taco set on National Taco Day.

Is Gladys Knight OK? Singer, Publicist Disagree Publicly About Her Health

Source: JEFF KOWALSKY / Getty L egendary singer Gladys Knight either has pancreatic cancer or she’s completely healthy, depending on who you ask. It was widely reported Friday afternoon that during the funeral for Aretha Franklin , Knight revealed she had been stricken with pancreatic cancer — the same ailment the Queen of Soul died from earlier this month. However, a couple of hours after the reports from reputable news outlets like Ebony and the Detroit News, Knight’s publicist insisted the singer was just fine. “She’s healthy,” Javier Delgado told the Detroit Free Press. “Someone must have misinterpreted. During an interview with local television station WDIV-TV outside of the funeral, Knight seemed sure of her self when she said of Franklin , “We shared the fact that we had the same disease.” Knight’s health had never been a public concern until Friday. Prior to Franklin’s funeral, Knight had been seen at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York City just this week. People magazine published a story in February about how “ageless” the 74-year-old looked, dismissing rumors that the singer may have had plastic surgery. If Knight was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer , it would be sad but not surprising. Cancer has  been proven  to be more deadly for Black people, with that fact being resoundingly true for pancreatic cancer patients, statistics have shown since around 1970, when pancreatic cancer trends began reversing themselves along racial lines. “In white men, pancreatic cancer death rates decreased by 0.7% per year from 1970 to 1995 and then increased by 0.4% per year through 2009,” according to  research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute . “In contrast, the rates among blacks increased between 1970 and the late 1980s (women) or early 1990s (men).” The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine took it a step further and  found through clinical research  that the “incidence of pancreatic cancer is 50 – 90% higher in African Americans than in any other racial group in the United States. Not only is pancreatic cancer more common among African Americans, but African Americans also have the poorest prognosis of any racial group because they often are diagnosed with advanced, and therefore, inoperable cancer.” SEE ALSO: Aretha Franklin Funeral Quotes: Sharpton, Holder, Obama Pay Tribute Watch Aretha Franklin’s Tribute Concert [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3824414″ overlay=”true”]

Genevieve Morton Tits and Pussy of the Day

I avoid Genevieve Morton content…. I just find her a bad vibe…overall washed up, played out, not very memorable, fired from Sports Illustrated Swim that was her lifeline, what must be 3-4 years ago, who never quite made it but thinks that she did, but was outshined by Kate Upton who did make it. I just find there’s a lot of negativity, and anger, and most importantly attitude, superiority complexes, thoughts that she’s hot as fuck, when really she’s just average, and really when she was at her peak…she was straight up fucking fat. She’s entitled, likes being around rich people, thinks she’s got what it takes to sit at the rich person table and in doing that has a bad snobby energy that shouldn’t be there because she’s really not that great… I’ve been watching her fall off and try to get back up…every year another year older…she’s quit drinking, turned to fitness…is still angry at the world… She’s tried blogging, or fucking being an influencer, but not getting paid too well and when offered deals…she turns on you and thinks she’s worth more than she is…making no one want to work with her… She’s just sitting around googling herself and the only thing she’s got is this taking nude pics for the fans…that I guess she spins as not being shameless or sex work…while that is exactly what it is. Her big titties are what the fans want to see, so show it to them, maybe they’ll buy your calendar that will pay your rent another year…rather than actually come up with a plan or a strategy….bottom feed that shit off poor dudes who bought into your tits when they used to wear bikinis… This half naked / naked act has been going on for awhile to keep her as relevant as a forgotten model can be, to keep the fans engaged…because she does have fans…weirdos but still fans. So next step…sex tapes maybe…I mean masturbating on Patreon or Premium Snapchat, it’d be the smart angle, but she thinks she’s too good for that, so instead she’ll pretend to be high brow…until she realizes she can be making 50k a month spreading her asshole to paying customers…and still pretend to be high brow.. It’s coming soon…and I’ll be into that more humble, less obnoxious Genevieve Morton….but until then…I’ll just hate on her for being a terrible vibe… TO SEE MORE PICS CLICK HERE JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!
