Damn D-Roc, this is a bad look homie. Ying Yang Twin Accused Of Punching Wife In Head Little D-Roc just can’t seem to get right. The ninja owes 45K in back child support and now this. According to TMZ: Deongelo Holmes — one half of the rap duo Ying Yang Twins — was busted in Georgia … after Holmes’ wife accused him of punching her in the head. Prosecutors say Holmes socked his wife Porsche Holmes in the head back in November … and the rapper hit her so hard she got a big bump over her left eye. Authorities charged Holmes with “family violence” and two counts of simple battery. Deongelo was released on bond after agreeing to stay away from his wife — among other restrictions. A rep for Deongelo had no comment. D-Roc needs to be in the same anger management class as Kanye and Chris Breezy.
You can’t be serious ! Florida Woman Beats Sons For Looking Like Their Father Via ABC Action News reports: Citrus County deputies say a 4-year-old boy and his 5-year-old brother were severely bruised after their mother beat them with a belt and stuck them in a closet for punishment. Dawn Novak, 30, of Beverly Hills is now facing child abuse charges. Novak, according to an arrest affidavit, admitted to spanking her sons but denied using a belt on them. During a medical exam, severe bruises were noted on the 4-year-old boy’s thighs, legs, lower back, genitals, upper back and ankle area. Deputies noted that this boy suffered the most injuries. Novak reportedly told deputies the 4-year-old is ‘the spitting image of his father’ and that his father abused her during their three year relationship. Then, she explained that the boy’s bruises were the result of him falling on Lego blocks in the bathtub, an arrest report states. The boys and another sibling were placed with a relative for their protection. Novak is being held on $5,000 bond. We hope someone beats the crap out of her in prison for looking like an ain’t isht mother!
Phil Robertson Suspension Is Over So much for taking a stance. According to TMZ: The “Duck Dynasty” war with A&E is over — the network just announced Phil Robertson is no longer suspended … and filming will resume in a few months. The network says their strong sense of integrity caused them to react quickly to Phil’s GQ interview … and after consulting with numerous advocacy groups they made a decision to bring him back. The network adds, “As a global media content company, A+E Networks’ core values are centered around creativity, inclusion and mutual respect. We believe it is a privilege for our brands to be invited into people’s home and we operate with a strong sense of integrity and deep commitment to these principles.” The network says they plan to roll out a new PSA campaign on their network in the wake of what happened … promoting unity, tolerance and acceptance. A&E adds, “Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man’s views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about family… a family that America has come to love.” So he makes racist and anti-gay comments and gets to keep his job? Clearly he has the complexion for the protection.
NRA President David Keene said he is aggressively preparing for “battle” with the White House and Congress over President Obama’s gun control plan . He also defended the new NRA ad calling Obama an “elitist hypocrite.” NRA Ad: Obama a Hypocrite Keene criticized Obama’s announcement Wednesday, surrounded by four children from around the U.S., for “using kids to advance an ideological agenda.” He expressed confidence that few measures would ultimately pass. “It’s going to be very tough for the president to accomplish some of these things, but that doesn’t mean he can’t do it if he really turns it on,” Keene told ABC. “All bets are off when a president really wants to go to war with you,” the NRA president said, but “We’re gonna be there and we’re gonna fight it.” NRA members would hold accountable any politicians who “sell them out to some pie-in-the-sky scheme such as the president is proposing,” he said. The group launched a new “Stand and Fight” advocacy campaign Tuesday, opposing Obama’s gun control measures, anchored by a controversial new TV ad. The ad calls Obama an “elitist hypocrite” for sending his daughters to a private school with armed guards while being “skeptical” of armed security in all schools. The White House blasted the ad as “repugnant and cowardly.” Keene isn’t backing down, defending the ad last night: “When the question is the protection of children, which is what this is all about… it’s perfectly legitimate to ask why some should be protected and others should not be.” “We were talking about an elite class who criticizes others in their desire to be safe while making sure that they and their families and their children are always protected.” “We were not talking about the president’s kids. We’re not talking about the Secret Service protection [Obama’s] children enjoy – they ought to have that wherever they go.” Keene also slammed Obama for using kids as “props,” saying, “We didn’t line them up on stage and pat them on the shoulder while we urge somebody to take our position.” Gun control: Time for tougher measures? YES. Fewer guns, fewer tragedies! NO. It’s unconstitutional and won’t stop anything! View Poll »
Is Lindsay Lohan seeking a restraining order against her dad Michael Lohan? Dina Lohan, Lindsay’s mom and Mike’s ex-wife, wants her to like yesterday. Dina’s war with Michael – a nuclear situation that trumps last week’s fight with Lindsay – has reached scored earth proportions, and she’s urging Lindsay to take her side. And to ask a judge for the protection order to stop her often-estranged father from having any contact with her whatsoever – phone calls, texts, emails, anything. Dina Lohan’s push to legally freeze out MiLo comes on the heels of Lindsay’s tearful statement that Michael is dead to her now after selling her out last week. Lindsay may not be willing to go that far, however. The actress reportedly thinks the restraining order is too extreme, and isn’t exactly eager to show up and testify in court in order to obtain one. She does go to enough courtrooms as it is. According to TMZ, DiLo has approached her other three children – Michael Jr., Cody and Ali Lohan – about the plan as well, though it’s unclear if they’re up for it. Michael Lohan may be a detestable human being, but terming him a dangerous one may be an exaggeration. Why not just ignore the guy, ladies? Even Lindsay admitted she shouldn’t have called him to say her mom was coked up and acting like the devil , but she did, and won’t make that mistake again. Isn’t that enough?

UPDATE: Health insurance companies will now be required to provide women free birth control, in keeping with the new Obama administration guidelines. The new guidelines, which the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) labeled “historic,” will require new health insurance plans to include women’s preventive services including FDA approved contraceptives, breast feeding support, and well-women visits — all without charging a co-payment, co-insurance or a deductible — beginning August 1, 2012. Ladies, keep in mind you still have to protect yourself against sexually transmitted diseases. Michelle Obama: First Female Public Figure To Appear On Better Homes & Garden Another birth control revolution may be on the horizon. Fifty years after the pill was introduced, free contraception for women in the U.S., may be in effect thanks to the new health care law by the Obama administration. According to the LA Times , the Obama administration, is recommending that all U.S.-approved birth control methods — including the “morning after pill,” taken shortly after intercourse to forestall pregnancy — be added to the federal government’s list of preventive health services. The IOM noted that women with unplanned pregnancies were more likely to put off or neglect prenatal care and to smoke, drink or experience depression. The recommendation to add birth control is a big gain for organizations like the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Planned Parenthood, but is likely to stoke opposition from conservative and religious groups. Other services recommended by IOM include screening for gestational diabetes, testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) in women over 30, counseling for HIV and sexually transmitted infections, lactation counseling, screening for domestic violence and yearly wellness visits. This would be a groundbreaking moment for women in the U.S. President Meets Circle Of Protection To Talk About Poverty

SMH: Senators would have to push their own elevator buttons. House members would go without their free gym. Food on Capitol Hill would be sparse. And the lawmakers’ restrooms? Perhaps not as fresh. Congress would feel the pinch of a government shutdown, but nowhere near the pain that would be inflicted on the massive federal work force it is supposed to govern. Unlike the roughly 800,000 federal workers who would be affected, lawmakers get wide latitude deciding who is essential and who’s not in the fiefdoms of their own offices and committees. They also get to choose whether to give up their own pay during a shutdown — an option not afforded the furloughed. “How does that make any sense?” said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who added that he will forgo a paycheck for the length of a budget impasse. More than two dozen senators of both parties took the same pledge as the clocked Friday toward the midnight shutdown deadline. House Speaker John Boehner on Friday told other lawmakers that he planned to return the pay he would be entitled to during a shutdown, In a message to House members, he noted that the Constitution forbids lawmakers from changing their compensation or the president’s in mid-term, but there is no prohibition on lawmakers refusing their pay when a shutdown occurs. Rank-and-file House members and senators make $174,000 a year, with the leaders of each party making more. Boehner receives $223,500. President Barack Obama’s annual salary is $400,000. Many members of Congress already donate all or some of their pay to charity, but those swept into office last year by the populist, tea party-tinged wave of the midterm elections are especially sensitive to the inconsistency of getting paid — more than most Americans — for a job not done. “I’ll find a way to give it back,” said Colorado Rep. Cory Gardner, a member of the Republican class of freshman that handed control of the House to the GOP. Gardner said he gave up his pay in the state Legislature under similar circumstances. “We aren’t different than anybody else.” The Capitol Hill workforce is the size of a small city, tens of thousands of people who protect, feed, shuttle, schedule, advise, clean up after and otherwise support the 535 members of Congress. During a shutdown, deciding who and what services are essential generally falls to the lawmakers, with advice from Congress’ experts on the subject. The House Administration Committee, for example, recommended that lawmakers use three criteria when deciding staffing. Employees whose jobs “are associated with constitutional responsibilities, the protection of human life or the protection of property” should be considered essential, the committee said. Three-fourths of the Architect of the Capitol’s 2,600-person workforce would stay home, severely curtailing the many services it provides, according to spokeswoman Eva Malecki. That includes limited food service and even restroom cleaning — both the public facilities and those in the lawmakers’ offices. It also means limited response to emergency service calls for help on plumbing, electrical, elevator or other problems, she said. Expect a police force big enough to keep the campus secure but severely scaled back, said Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer. That means one door open per building both for lawmakers, their staffs and the tourists Congress is obligated to admit when the legislature is in session. But since the Capitol Visitor Center would be closed, tour guidance would be mostly up to the lawmakers themselves. And if they feel like escaping to the comfort of, say, the members-only balcony just off the House floor? Lawmakers might have to find an officer with a key to unlock the door, according to knowledgeable officials who demanded anonymity to be candid. Members would have to line up for everything from elevators to news conferences, since there would only be one act of televised grandstanding allowed at a time, Gainer said. And food? Sparse enough to constitute “a mandatory diet,” he quipped. Source
