Wait… What?!!? Televangelist Pat Robertson Claims All Men Cheat And It’s The Wife’s Fault When Her Husband Is Unfaithful

Jesus take the wheel … PLEASE! Pat Robertson Says A Wife’s Duty Is To Keep Her Man Faithful Via HuffPo reports: Responding to a question from a viewer, Robertson said that married men “have a tendency to wander” and it is the spurned wife’s job to focus on the positive and make sure the home is so enticing, he doesn’t want to stray. “I’ve been trying to forgive my husband for cheating on me,” the viewer writes. “We have gone to counseling, but I just can’t seem to forgive, nor can I trust. How do you let go of the anger? How do you trust again?” “Here’s the secret,” the famous evangelical said. “Stop talking the cheating. He cheated on you, well, he’s a man.” The wife needs to focus on the reasons she married her spouse, he continued. “Does he provide a home for you to live in,” Robertson said. ‘Does he provide food for you to eat? Does he provide clothes for you to wear? Is he nice to the children… Is he handsome?” Robertson also offered a little advice on the “tendency of man.” “Recognize also, like it or not, males have a tendency to wander a little bit,” Robertson said. “What you want to do is make a home so wonderful that he doesn’t want to wander” or give in to the “salacious” magazine pictures and Internet filled with adult films. So Pat believes marriage is between one man, one woman and as many mistresses as he wants. Family values indeed.

Random Ridiculousness: Man Popped By One-Time For Identity Theft After Posting A Picture Of His Steak Dinner On Instagram

Ninjas are forever telling on themselves via Instagram and Twitter. Identity Theft Criminals Arrested After Posting Instagram Picture According to The Daily Mail Identity thief didn’t make a very good job of concealing his own identity after investigators were able to track him down through a picture he posted on Instagram of his steak dinner. Nathaniel Troy Maye, 44, of Harlem, New York, and his partner Tiwanna Tenise Thomason, 39, of Miramar, pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and possession of unauthorized access devices on Friday in federal court in Fort Lauderdale. In a judicial first, the Instagram photo of a steak and macaroni and cheese dinner was cited as evidence in the federal felony complaint. IRS agents had few clues about the man who called himself Troy early on in the investigation but finally got their break through the help of the photo sharing website. On January 7, a witness working undercover for the IRS met Maye and Thomason at Morton’s steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale, the Sun Sentinel reports. He was supposed to hand over a flash drive containing 50,000 identities which he believed would be used to file fraudulent income tax returns. When the handover was made at the restaurant, the drive contained only 50 identities. But IRS agents were also able to find hidden data linking the drive to a ‘Troy Maye”. When a special agent searched online, she found an Instagram profile for ‘TROYMAYE’ who, on January 7, posted a picture of a steak and macaroni and cheese meal which he captioned ‘Morton’s’. His profile picture also matched the description the witness gave. When they were arrested at Thomason’s apartment, they found two flash drives containing around 50,000 illegally obtained identities. They face up to a dozen years in federal prison and large fines for stealing and attempting to sell 700,000 identities. One thing is for sure, he won’t be having steak dinners in prison.

GTFOHWTBS: Fashion Designer Denies Racist Message After “Be My Slave” Ad Shows Dark-Skinned Child Serving White Woman

News Flash: Slavery is not and will never be in vogue! Designer Depicts Slavery In Fashion Via HuffPo reports: While most people don’t need such an obvious reminder, this pointed message goes out to Aamna Aqeel. The Pakistani designer has found herself in the middle of a racially charged backlash thanks to her editorial shoot entitled “Be My Slave.” In the spread, which is published in Diva magazine, a white model is seen dressed in various Ageel designs while being catered to by a dark-skinned little boy who looks a lot like a slave. Our assumptions can’t be too far off considering the title of the story. Since when did slavery become an appropriate marketing strategy? We’re shocked–as anyone who lays eyes on these images should be. And thankfully we’re not alone. The International Herald Tribune’s Salima Feerasta felt the need to address the “vile images of racism and exploitation” and deemed the story “inexcusable.” We couldn’t agree more. Feerasta spoke to Aqueel, who denied any intention of racism in the story. In fact, the designer’s aim was to shed light on the issue of child labor. Aqueel said that the dark-skinned Baloch child was incidental. “He works in a garage and wanted some work.” As Feerasta so pointedly explains, Aqueel’s reasoning doesn’t add up and her message fails for many reasons. When will these race based disgusting attention-seeking antics end? Seriously. Continue reading

You Can’t Be Serious: Out Of Pocket Fox News Host Asks “Is Malia Obama Going To Go On Birth Control??”

SMH !!!! Fox News Anchor Asks If Malia Obama Will Go On Birth Control Via The Grio reports: In the wake of President Obama’s statement that he would support the selling of Plan B, a birth control product, to girls as young as 15, Fox News host Andrea Tantaros speculated about the sex life of the president’s 14-year-old daughter. “Are they gonna put her on birth control? Because he’s very concerned with contraceptives and pharmaceuticals that are going in the mouths of everybody else’s 15-year-old daughter,” she said, according to Media Matters. Tantaros also lashed out at the Obama administration: “They consider 15-year-olds to be women. They want to tell grown women what to do. They know how grown women feel. They have no idea how women feel. They should stop talking about it, because they have no clue.” This is not the first time that the president’s eldest daughter has become a political punching bag for the right. In just the first year of Obama’s presidency, Malia (then 11 years old) was subjected to crude and hateful insults after sporting a t-shirt with a peace sign on it during a trip to Europe. According to Mediaite, commenters on the right wing site Free Republic referred to her as “a typical street whore” among other epithets. In 2010, during the BP oil spill crisis, Glenn Beck mocked Malia for reportedly inquiring about the clean-up. “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” said Beck, in a voice that was meant to mock Malia. Ask “Daddy” why he “hates black people so much.” Its Fox News – why would anyone really expect decorum, integrity, ethics, and a sense of decency from Fox? True journalism, we ALL KNOW that’s not possible on Fox, not possible EVER!. Continue reading

Fawk A Hater: Tyler Perry Defends His Shuckin’ & Jivin’ Movies And Says He Doesn’t Pay Attention To Critics Who Blast His Films

Does Tyler Perry make movies Black people should be proud of? Tyler Perry Defends Films And Dismisses Critics Tyler Perry talked about how he handles the criticism that is thrown his way and he says that the positive feedback that he gets from fans of his movies heavily overshadows the critics’ talk. Via HuffPo Live: “Here’s the thing about the critics, let me tell you this, I look for the truth in the critique, I honestly do. If there’s something in there that makes sense to me, I try to find and say ‘You know what, I thought that.’ But if it’s vitriolic, if it’s just venomous, I don’t pay attention to it. But for me, it’s very difficult because I have to hear the balance, right? So you have someone who says ‘This is awful, this is the worst thing I have ever seen.’ And then I’ve got a mother who’s sending me a letter saying, and these are real letters by the thousands on my Facebook page, ‘I was in an abusive relationship, I was able to get out when I saw Diary of a Mad Black Woman.’ One woman talked about having a cornea transplant and the first movie she wanted to see was mine. These are real stories that touch my heart in such a way that I’m thinking, why even pay attention to that when it’s the people that are moved and keep coming to see the films.” Tyler Perry knows what works and what doesn’t work for his fanbase. Translation: He does not care about the opinions of old white men who aren’t going to spend money see his movies anyway. Continue reading

Slizzard: Khloe Kardashian-Odum and Pimp Mama Kris Jenner Get Too White Girl Wasted To Film Keeping Up With The Kardashians

You know how the Kardashians get down. Guess Mama Kris said she had to do something to take her mind off her criminally inclined son. Khloe Kardashian-Odum And Kris Jenner Get Drunk According to TMZ Everyone has a tequila story, and Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner had theirs Thursday night … with an evening that started at a Mexican restaurant and ended with them getting KICKED OUT of Kim’s house … TMZ has learned. According to our sources, Khloe and Kris went out for a girls’ night and hit up Casa Vega in the Valley for some dinner and a few margaritas (FORESHADOWING!!!!). The ladies had a good time and Kim K even posted a pic of the pair wearing sombreros and captioned it “She’s wild man” (see above). We’re told the pair took a car service and went straight from the restaurant to the popular West Hollywood bar The Abbey to shoot a scene for “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” The only problem … they smartly decided they were too drunk to shoot … so they left without even getting out of the SUV. According to Abbey patrons, the ordeal pissed off management because they had roped off a prime section for the shoot. But it doesn’t end there … Khloe and Kris then had the brilliant idea to go from the bar to Kim’s house … because who doesn’t love partying with drunk women more than a PREGNANT CHICK?!?!? It predictably didn’t go well, and Kim told the girls to take a hike. And thus ends the story of the greatest episode of “KUWTK” that never was. Kim kicked out her own mama. Man that’s cold.

In White Folks News: 83-Year-Old Nun Faces 20 Years For “Symbolically” Breaking Into A Tennessee Storage Facility

Nuns can be a little cray-cray too. Nun Faces 20 Years For Symbolic Break-In According to Raw Story An 83-year-old nun who broke into a Tennessee depleted uranium storage facility in 2012 and splashed human blood on several surfaces, exposing a massive security hole at the nation’s only facility used to store radioactive conventional munitions, was convicted Wednesday and faces a term of up to 20 years in prison. The only regret Sister Megan Rice shared with members of her jury on Wednesday was that she wished 70 years hadn’t passed before she took direct action, according to the BBC. She and two other peace activists, 64-year-old Michael Walli and 56-year-old Greg Boertje-Obed, were convicted of “invasion of a nuclear facility” in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, even though investigators admitted they did not get close to any actual nuclear material. The three activists are part of a group called “Transform Now Plowshares,” a reference to the book of Isaiah, which says, “They shall beat their swords into plowshares. They shall learn war no more.” All three face individual sentences of up to 20 years, along with a litany of fines. As they invaded the Y-12 National Security Complex at Oak Ridge, a perimeter fence was cut, several surfaces were spray-painted, banners were hung and activists read from the Bible. They also spread human blood on several surfaces, saying its use was symbolic, meant to remind people “of the horrific spilling of blood by nuclear weapons.” “The shortcomings in security at one of the most dangerous places on the planet have embarrassed a lot of people,” the activists’ attorney, Francis Lloyd, told members of the jury according to the BBC. “You’re looking at three scapegoats behind me.” Sister Rice has been arrested between 40 or 50 times committing acts of civil disobedience, according to The New York Times, including once in Nevada after she physically blocked a truck at a nuclear test site. “I believe we are all equally responsible to stop a known crime,” Sister Rice said from the witness stand, according to quotes published by her group. She called herself a “citizen of the world” and reportedly smiled as the verdict was read. Do you think she is a nut or hero?

Random Ridiculousness: Church Offers Free Handgun Classes to “Bless The Community,” People Line Up Around The Block

These days you got to stay prayed up and strapped down! Church Gives Free Handgun Lessons According to WFAA Texas lawmakers passed several bills involving concealed handgun licenses on Saturday, including one that would reduce the number of hours required to get one, and another tweaking the rules for renewal. In North Texas, we’ve seen crowds packing free handgun license classes, including one on Saturday in an unexpected place — First Baptist Church Wylie. The congregation on this day was led not by a preacher, but a teacher giving a free concealed handgun class. “I have been thinking about doing it for a long time, but because it was free, there was no reason not to do it,” said Andrew Penrose. The sanctuary offered the no-charge CHL course to anyone meeting state eligibility requirements. “We’re doing it to bless the community,” explained Scott Phillips, who serves as children’s pastor at the church. There was no shortage of takers for the one-day course. “There’s a lot of crazy stuff going on in the world,” said one man. “School shootings and movie theater shootings… you just never know what is going to happen,” Beth Owen said. “I want to be able to protect myself and protect my friends and family,” added Richard Davis. Those who came to the church for this special teaching did so for different reasons. “I am taking this class because I believe in my Second Amendment rights,” Chris Alosi said. They share a common belief that they are better off with a handgun… and the knowledge of how to effectively use it. Organizers estimate the free class saved participants between a $100-$140 each. What type of world do we live in where the church offers free handgun lessons and people line up around the block?
