It was depleted, and I had to fix it,” Trump said. “What he did to our military made this country very unsafe for you and you and you.” It sounds like Donnie didn’t want any smoke with the former first lady, so he lashed out at Barack.

Stock Image by Getty White Airbnb Guest Sh*ts On Hosts Bed And Gets Sympathy Oh hell naw! There is a story circulating around Twitter from Black woman and writer who had a terribly disgusting experience with an Airbnb guest. The poor lady say she went through all the checks and stops to make sure her guests weren’t crazy but after a few years of using the app one recently slipped through the cracks and POOPED in her room. After coming home from a flight and realizing her usually closed bedroom door was ajar, Blue Telusma wrote that she discovered human feces in a chair and more dabbled on her things inside her bedroom. Her Airbnb guest, who stayed all the way in the BASEMENT admitted to “blacking out” and sh*tting on her stuff. After contacting Airbnb to have the man removed, Telusma says she was encouraged to wait it out. She waited and waited until she noticed a police officer nearby her house and let him know what was happening. The cop was also useless and let the poop perpetrator stay. WTF?!!? Update: when the new police arrived my @Airbnb guest played the victim & almost shed some tears. “What he did is nasty but not illegal” the cop said while sympathizing w/ the young white man. UNTIL I reminded them both that shitting all over someone’s home is defacing property — ☼Blue-nita Applebum (@bluecentric) November 2, 2018 White tears are something else! Eventually, the hostess got the nasty dude out of her crib after Airbnb removed her to a hotel and redirected him to another place nearby. You can r ead her full horror story here in her own words. What would YOU have done if you were in this situation???

Picture by: London Entertainment/Splash News / SplashNews.com Snoops Sparks One Up At The White House Snoops Dogg was feeling adventurous while visiting D.C. yesterday. The father of funky west coast rhymes was cruising passenger side in his Black SUV when he asked the driver to pull over near the Whitehouse. Snoop hesitated at first when he saw there was no parking but F it! The Dogg Father grabbed his rolled up blunt and headed to a nearby bench, and that’s when things got lit. Literally. Snoop spoke casually to fans as he enjoyed his marijuana cigarette… Snoop captioned his videos “I had to do it.” This man is really chilling and smoking an *ahem* cigarette in front of the Whitehouse! Are you amused? Salute to the OG!
Donald Trump hopped deep into his emotions while dealing with a CNN reporter during Wednesday’s White House press conference. While the President was attempting to dismiss reporter Jim Acosta, the guy refused to sit down and hush up, held on to the mic when an intern attempted to snatch it, and got that last question off. Needless to say, Trump wasn’t feeling it. He went in on Acosta, accusing him of being a terrible person and treating people horribly. Next thing you know, Jim Acosta gets his White House credentials pulled. While according to TMZ , CNN believes it’s due to Trump having to face tough questions he wasn’t in the mood for, Sarah Huckabee Sanders swears it’s because Acosta “put his hands” on a female White House staffer (the microphone girl) in an aggressive manner: https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1060333176252448768 https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1060333619728801792 https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1060374680991883265 Acosta definitely pushed her arm away, but…it seems the White House is dragging this, a bit.

Despite numbers that were deemed “too close to call” at the hour by NBC — Gillum secured 48.9& of the vote while Desantis held 49.9% — the democratic candidate announced his concession in a speech given from his Tallahassee campaign headquarters around 10:45 PM. As he stated in his speech (via NBC News ): “Even though I won’t be the next governor of Florida, I still plan to be on the front lines. We still have to be willing to show up every single day and demand our seat at the table. I still believe and I still trust in the voters. I still believe that there is more of us that believe in what is common and what is decent.” A BIG loss for the democratic party and the anticipated “Blue Wave” this election was set to bring. We’ll continue watching the poll results this evening to give you further updates on integral races. Wilfredo Lee-Pool/Getty Images/Chris O’Meara-Pool/Getty Images
Image via Lawrence Lucier/FilmMagic/Getty Mariah Carey’s Former A&R Recounts How ODB Got On “Fantasy” (Remix) One of Mariah Carey ‘s most popular hits is undoubtedly her collaborative effort with the late-great Ol’ Dirty Bastard, “Fantasy” (Remix). At the time, Mariah and Dirty seemed like the most unlikely pairing in the universe, but we’ll be damned if it didn’t work BIG time. the story of Mariah Carey getting Ol' Dirty Bastard on the “Fantasy (Remix)” is a 10/10 and could honestly be made into a movie (via @billboard ) pic.twitter.com/l7Pcsmy9sA — Andrew Barber (@fakeshoredrive) November 5, 2018 If you’re like us, you might wonder how the hell this song even happened, well, the answer to that question came floating down our Twitter timeline courtesy of Andrew Barber of FakeShoreDrive via a 2016 Billboard article explaining the whole hilarious thing. Here’s portions of the story as told by Cory Rooney, Mariah Carey’s A&R at the time: I reached out to ODB and he wanted $15,000 to rap on the record. At the time, that was a lot of money, but it really wasn’t for Mariah Carey’s budget — so, no problem. He finally showed up, three hours late, and when he got there, it was about 10:30 at night. He had been drinking, and was on the phone when he walked in. Irate, screaming at some girl how he’s gonna come kill her, he’s going to kick her a**…and then whispering, “I love you.” Then screaming again. This went on for an hour. He finally came out and was like, “Yo, pardon me, this b**ch is driving me crazy. I need some Moet and Newports before we get into this record.” I said, “It’s 12:30 at night now bro, I don’t know where we’re going to get Moet from.” He started yelling at the assistants, calling them white devils, saying, “You white devils, y’all don’t want black people to have shit.” They went out for like an hour, and the only thing they could find were some Heinekens. He was so disgusted, he threw a bottle on the floor. Oh, but it gets better: At this point Mariah had been calling every hour on the hour, wanting to hear something over the phone. Tommy was pissed because Mariah was keeping him up, so he finally got on the phone with ODB — and after that, finally we started to record. He said one line — “me and Mariah, go back like babies with pacifiers” — then paused, said, “Yo, I need to take a break,” and went to sleep for 45 minutes. He woke up and was like, “Yo, let me hear what I did so far.” We played his one line back, he sang another line or two, and then slept for another hour. He would come up with a line, punch that in, go to sleep. He went to sleep 3 different times in the middle of trying to get that one verse done. If you listen to the record now, on his verse, you can hear that it’s punched in in pieces. He actually told the engineer, “Y’all better have your shit set and record it right, cause I’m not doing it twice.” I stayed in the studio until we finished it. So I was sleeping in the studio when Tommy and Mariah called me, and said they loved the record. But Tommy had a bright idea: let’s get ODB back in the studio, and instead of just, “New York in the house,” do [a line] for every city. I said, “You’ve got to be kidding.” Of course [ODB] wanted another $15,000. He came back to the studio, a little more mellow but dead tired. He’s sitting there picking food out of his teeth — he pulled a piece of food out of his mouth so big it was scary. I was like, “How long did you walk around with that food in your mouth?” Like, it was unbelievable. Then he fell asleep on couch, kicked one shoe off. His foot smelled so bad, we had to let him sleep and leave the control room. Eventually, we got the other parts done and that was that. I thought the story was over.

Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images Uber Driver Gets Charged With Manslaughter For Death Of Teenage Passenger A 29-year-old Uber driver has been charged with manslaughter after a teenage passenger he let ‘car surf’ on the roof of his vehicle fell to his death. Ryan Mullen, 15, had been ‘car surfing’ on the roof of the Danyal Cheema’s vehicle on September 23 in Huntington. He ended up falling and subsequently suffered a traumatic brain injury, dying hours after he arrived at a friend’s house following the ride, Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini said. The whole situation began when they went to a 7Eleven store and, according to Sini, they asked the driver to car surf. “ This was an incredibly bad decision by the defendant, a bad decision by the boys involved, obviously,’ Tim Sini said. “ But at the end of the day, that defendant is an adult contracted to safely bring those boys home, and he failed to do that.” The driver, 24-year-old Danyal Cheema, is now being charged with second-degree manslaughter and was arraigned in Suffolk County Criminal Court on Monday morning. He made no comment at the proceeding and was ordered held on $200,000 bail. Along with the charge, his license was also suspended. The incident took place just after midnight in Huntington Station on September 23. Prosecutors have said that Mullen was with two other teens and that Cheema accepted $40 to allow Mullen and another teen to “car surf” on the roof of his Toyota Highlander SUV. He was said to be driving at 30 miles per hour when Mullen fell off the roof. Instead of taking the injured teen to a hospital, Cheema drove him to a friend’s house where Mullen died later that night. The medical examiner’s office ruled the young boy’s cause of death to be blunt force trauma to the head. His parents, Janice and Matt Mullen, said they don’t want any family to suffer a loss similar to theirs again. Janice told ABC7 Eyewitness News : “This can’t happen again, no one should have to go through this pain.” In a statement on the incident, Uber said: “Words cannot describe how deeply troubled we are by this incident. Our thoughts are with the rider’s family during this difficult time. This driver has been permanently removed from the app.”
