The Departed: 89-Year-Old Murderous Mafia Boss Whitey Bulger Killed In His Prison Cell

Image via Bureau of Prisons/Getty Images Mafia Boss Whitey Bulger Killed In His Cell If you’ve seen the movie The Departed , then you kind of have an idea of who Whitey Bulger is. Jack Nicholson played the dramatic and psychotic mob boss who wasn’t the least bit afraid to murder you and everyone you love. Bulger was also portrayed by Johnny Depp in the film Black Mass that offered another side of Bulger’s bloodlust. When things got hot for Whitey back in 1975, he became an FBI informant and dropped dime on the mob to save his a$$. His a$$ was not saved. Bulger fled the city on the day he was going to be indicted on a slew of charges, including murder. On June 22, 2011 Whitey was found, arrested and subsequently sentenced to life in prison. Well, according to DailyMail , the now 89-year-old Bulger was found murdered in his prison cell today by fellow inmate who had mob ties. Bulger had just been transferred to an admittedly short-staffed West Virginia prison called USP Hazelton where there have been three homicides in the past three months. The Bureau of Prisons officials refused to explain why the mobster was transferred. At one point, Bulger was one of the most wanted criminals in United States history, seems a lil’ strange that all of a sudden at damn-near 90 years old he was transferred and murdered. Either that’s one hell of a grudge to hold for all these years, or…

Trump Takes A Swipe At Andrew Gillum’s HBCU Education

T he divider in chief, Donald Trump , took steps to widen the racial wedge between the Florida gubernatorial candidates by implying an education at a historically Black college or university ( HBCU ) was decidedly inferior to the Ivy League. The president made his ignorant statement in a tweet despite growing evidence that the Democratic candidate — Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum — has consistently displayed a far more superior ability to campaign based on fact and policy over his opponent, Republican Ron DeSantis . But of course, Trump never lets the facts get in between him and his Twitter fingers. In Florida there is a choice between a Harvard/Yale educated man named @RonDeSantisFL who has been a great Congressman and will be a great Governor – and a Dem who is a thief and who is Mayor of poorly run Tallahassee, said to be one of the most corrupt cities in the Country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 29, 2018 Gillum is a proud graduate of Florida A&M University, an HBCU. Nevermind the racist dog whistling in the tweet that was Trump calling Gillum “a thief,” an unsubstantiated charge from a president who routinely reinforces negative stereotypes about Black people. DeSantis has shown himself to be an unabashed racist, something that his alma maters Harvard and Yale universities can’t be proud of, no matter if the schools’ histories reflect otherwise (they do). Further, Gillum has twice upstaged DeSantis in both gubernatorial debates held last week, showing a masterful knowledge of policy compared to the racist attacks the Republican and his supporters have consistently resorted to. Trump’s tweet came less than a week after a report that he planned to make last-ditch pleas for votes for controversial GOP candidates. While Gillum has been consistently polling ahead of DeSantis, who resigned from Congress under a cloud of controversy stemming from a  House ethics complaint against him , early voting reports in Florida have indicated not many Democrats were going to the polls, which could spell bad news for the mayor. But if the election is decided based on policy plans and not racial rhetoric — DeSantis and his supporters have made multiple “monkey” references about the Democrat who could become the Sunshine State’s first African-American governor — Gillum should emerge victorious, by far. As of early Monday afternoon, Gillum was reportedly ahead of DeSantis by either 1 or 5 percentage points, depending on the poll . While political polling has proven to be an inexact science (see the 2016 presidential election for more on this), polling in the state of Florida has been pretty consistent over the years, especially when it comes to the governor’s race. “Four years ago, Charlie Crist led Rick Scott in eight of the final 20 2014 gubernatorial race public polls, Rick Scott led in six, and six polls showed them tied,” the Tampa Bay Times reminded readers on Monday. “The final polling average showed Crist with by just .6 percentage points, and Scott won reelection by 1.1 percent.” SEE ALSO: Mail Bomber Targeted Andrew Gillum, Too Andrew Gillum Reportedly Has Trump Scrambling In Last-Ditch Move For DeSantis [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3833456″ overlay=”true”]

Jon Bon Jovi Taunts Kim Kardashian: You Give Love (Making) a Bad Name!

According to Jon Bon Jovi, Kim Kardashian gives love making a bad name. Her type of fan is akin to some kind of bad medicine. While many hard-working families around the world are essentially living on nothing more than a prayer, Kim and her relatives are living off the lewd acts Kardashian went committed while naked on camera with Ray J. What we’re saying is this: Jon Bon Jovi is not a fan of Kim Kardashian. The legendary musician made this as clear as he possible could while speaking this weekend to Australia’s The Sunday Project. “I think it’s horrific that we live in that world,” the rock star said of how folks such as Kim and her family members can be famous, adding: “I can tell you I’ve never given 60 seconds of my life ever to one of those Housewives of Blah Blah and Kardashians.” It’s not evident what prompted this attack by Bon Jovi, but once the singer got going, he couldn’t get over how talented bands can make money by singing a song titled Bed of Roses… … while un talented people such as Kim can make even more money by having sex on a bed in front of a video recorded and then releasing the footage online.  “I don’t know their names, I’ve never watched 60 seconds of the show, it’s not for me,” he continued, prior to taking direct aim at the Kim Kardashian sex tape and asking Kim: “What’s gonna be in your autobiography? ‘I made a porno and guess what, I got famous.’ F-ck, sorry, I’ll pass.” The thing is, if Kim did write a biography with this title, you just know it would be a best-seller. “Go and write a book, paint a painting, act, study, sing, play write,” Bon Jovi reportedly added, lamenting how reality stars and Instagram models don’t actually do anything to garner their fame and fortune. As the saying sort of goes these days, they are famous just for being famous.  This is a criticism that has followed Kardashian around ever since she got nude and straddled Ray J for Kim Kardashian Superstar . She has insisited for years ever since that she actually works harder than most celebrities specifically to combat this assumption. “I think that’s how I was definitely introduced to the world,” she told Oprah in 2012 of the sex tape, adding; “It was a negative way, so I felt like I really had to work 10 times harder to get people to see the real me.” The real Kim appears to be someone with very little personality or humor or ability to do much of anything aside from take off layers of clothing. Despite this perception, though, Kim continues emphasize that she really does work hard on things such as fashion and her various business endeavors. “It is a talent to have a brand that’s really successful off of getting people to like you for you,” Kardashian said on 60 Minutes in 2016. “I would think that has to involve some kind of talent, you know?” In ths same interview, Kim acknowledged the vital role Twitter and Instagram have played in her enormous success, but she also wanted credit for having figured out how to master those platforms to her benefit. “I totally attribute my career to social media,” she said, confessing that she has “monetized the act of living.” This is actually a very astute way of describing it. The public can now choose to either side with Kim and praise her for figuring out how to do this… … or with Bon Jovi and roll their eyes over it.

Khloe Kardashian: Reliving Tristan Cheating is Beyond Painful!

Khloe Kardashian is finally, finally speaking about what Tristan Thompson put her through with his massive cheating scandal. Now that Keeping Up With The Kardashians is getting into the story of baby True’s birth , fans are going to see that scandal unfold. And Khloe is admitting that reliving that time is “painful.” Is she ready to ditch Tristan? “I feel so bad for @khloekardashian had to go through what Tristan did while filming # KUWTK,” a fan lamented. “If I’m not wrong,” the fan predicted. “Next episode will be insane.” “You’re so strong to put that personal issue as part of the show knowing millions of ppl will watch it,” the fan continued. The tweet concluded: “I wouldn’t be able to do it.” “Sadly, it will” be insane, Khloe confirmed. “I signed up to show the for the good and the bad, right?” Khloe wrote. “The bad is very hard to relive but it’s life.” That almost vague tweet from Khloe about how difficult it is to relive this part of her life is … kind of huge. For the most part, she has avoided directly addressing Tristan Thompson’s cheating scandal. It has now been more than sixth months, though. Not only is she reliving the horror of it on reality television … (It’s about to blow wide open on screen in front of the entire world) … But she has had a lot of time to think about whether or not she is really prepared to spend the rest of her life worrying if another cheating scandal will break. On top of that, Khloe has been dropping hints that she may have ditched Tristan. For starters, the two of them haven’t interacted on social media in ages. That, on its own, could be a coincidence. Sometimes you don’t publicly “@” each other. But then there’s the advice that Khloe has been peddling to her fans and followers. People have noticed that Khloe seems less blissfully naive — and willing and ready to excise toxic people from her life. “Free yourself from negative people,” Khloe recently counseled her fans adn followers. “Spend time with nice people who are smart, driven, and likeminded,” she continued. Most significantly, Khloe shared: “Relationships should help you, not hurt you.” “Surround yourself with people who reflect the person you want to be,” she advised. When Khloe shared that message, Kourtney seconded the opinion , which looked to fans a lot like her pushing Khloe to ditch Tristan. Khloe also recently shared that she is “not the woman i was 5 months ago.” Five months ago, of course, Khloe seemed desperate to reconcile with Tristan despite what he had done. At the end of the day, however, it is believed that Khloe clings to Tristan the way that she does for True’s sake. Precious baby True is six months old, and it is perceived that Khloe doesn’t want her to grow up with parents who aren’t together. It’s sweet that Khloe wants what’s best for True, but her fans have pointed out that a toxic relationship is not better for a child than co-parents. But until very recently, it hasn’t looked like Khloe has been willing to listen to anyone else’s advice. Ultimately, whether or not Khloe breaks up with Tristan is Khloe’s choice. Not Kim’s, not Kourtney’s, not Kris’ … and certainly not her fans. (It could always be Tristan who decides to end things, which would certainly be an unexpected twist) Maybe Khloe and Tristan will outlast all expectations. But if Khloe is finally speaking frankly about how painful it is to relive the scandal, which was entirely his doing, then maybe she’s rethinking that. Or maybe, as some believe, she and Tristan are already over. View Slideshow: Tristan Thompson: CAUGHT with Two New Women!

#BlackExcellence: Media Executive Depelsha McGruder Named Chief Operating Officer Of New York Public Radio

Entrepreneur Helps Black Women Get Access To Venture Capital

See the article here:

A lthough Black women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in the country, they still run into many obstacles when seeking capital for their business ventures. Entrepreneur Shelly Bell is looking to change that through her company Black Girl Ventures, Forbes reported. Shelly Bell, founder of Black Girl Ventures, helps women of color gain access to capital https://t.co/tYDgevbKzG pic.twitter.com/JadqKdJd7N — Women@Forbes (@WomenatForbes) October 27, 2018 Throughout her career Bell has been a fierce advocate for people from underrepresented groups, the news outlet writes. She leads two printing companies one of which has an all-woman team of designers and printers who develop products for major tech companies. Her other venture—dubbed Made by a Black Woman—is an e-commerce digital platform that features products created by women of color. Inspired to take her mission of empowering Black women further, she launched Black Girl Ventures in 2016 as an avenue to align Black businesswomen with opportunities to secure capital. Through her business, she provides an array of different services that are all designed to help women elevate their businesses. She hosts networking events, boot camps, and pitch competitions where winners receive funds from the admission fees and land meetings with investors. In the future, she hopes to help Latinx women as well. “We realized on top of access to capital, Black and Brown women also want access to new networks,” Bell told Forbes. “In my opinion social capital is the move. Even if you get access to capital, if you don’t have the network or team or people around you to help you manage it or give you ideas on how to grow or scale, you can only get to a certain point.” Bell—who is a part of the LGBTQIA community—believes that there is power in inclusivity and wants BGV to be a safe space for people from all walks of life. Ever since BGV launched two years ago, she has helped 13 entrepreneurs fund their businesses and hopes to help many others bring their dreams to fruition.

Kanye’s ‘Blexit’ T-Shirts For Young Black Conservatives Shuns Democrats

Y oung Black conservatives attending a summit in the nation’s capital were excited to sport newly designed T-shirts that urge Black folks to join Trump’s Republican Party, which has become a haven for racists.

He infamously asked African-Americans  on the campaign trail “what the hell do you have to lose,” by parting ways with the Democrats. His support of neo-Nazi thugs in Charlottesville and hateful rhetoric that attracts white supremacists to his “make America great again” movement are persuasive arguments against jumping on the Trump political bandwagon. Plans for a nationwide Blexit tour are underway, Owens announced. In 2019, tour stops will include Chicago and Philadelphia. “The Blexit movement will spend 2019 holding rallies in every major city in America that the Democrats have destroyed,” she added.
