Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signs new pro gun law

On Wednesday, April 23, 2014, Governor Nathan Deal signed the Safe Carry Protection Act known to many critics as the "Guns everywhere bill," a revision of House Bill 60. This new pro gun law, CNN reports, gives over 500,000 Georgians who are licensed to carry the right to bare arms in just about any public and private setting statewide which includes: airports, bars, churches, schools, and in limited areas of some government facilities at the discretion of that entity. Governor Deal stated that "This law gives added protections to those who have played by the rules and who can protect themselves and others from those who don't play by the rules," and called it "a great day to reaffirm our civil liberties." The Washington Post reported that the bill passed in both the House and Senate with sizable leads in March and about twice as many legislators in each chamber voted for it than against it. Governor Deal's office also pointed out that they've received an alarming amount of correspondences from citizens who were totally for the bill.

Critics of the bill argue that this new law basically gives just about anyone a license to kill, citing Florida's own infamous Stand Your Own Ground Law. I personally agree with most aspects of the law yet I know that it will be both a gift and a curse for many Georgians. For some odd reason, and I hate to think for the worst but it is what it is, I can see this scenario turning into a racially motivated battle when it comes to whites versus blacks. Believe it or not, we're still in ole "Dixie Land" a state that is no stranger to unjust lynchings and murders of minorities, especially African Americans. Under Georgia's Stand Your Own Ground law, both licensed carriers and convicted felons can now use self defense as grounds to use deadly force. At this point, I know that it must be scary for most black parents especially if they have a son who are hoping that someone won't see their child as a "threat" and maliciously invoke this type of law. This could also tremendously increase black on black crime as well. While looking at the picture of the governor and his colleagues above I'm wondering do these "good ole boys" have an ulterior motive. Isn't it ironic that suddenly after Trayvon Martin's murderer, George Zimmerman, got off free as a breeze, in Georgia's neighboring state of Florida, now legislators want to ease restrictions on our gun laws? We can't forget about the Michael Dunn trial where a Florida jury returned a mixed verdict in which the defendant was accused of killing a 17 year old African American male, during an argument over loud music at a gas station.

Georgia's Safe Carry Protection Act also poses a threat to law enforcement. Under the new law that is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2014, police officers are forbidden from asking someone to see their permit unless they're actually committing a crime; they can also be sued for each violation in which funds will come from taxpayers. Are you nervous yet? If not then you should be. Proponents of the law are ecstatic that their Second Amendment rights are no longer limited in the Peach state. Guns are now allowed in schools with prior written permission. Lawmakers have given churches the right to opt in or out of the law as well as bars. Firearms are now allowed in government buildings as long as the entry isn't restricted or screened by security which mirrors the same protocol for airports. Ironically, one of the few places where guns are totally banned is the state capitol. When Governor Deal was asked about this he stated that the capitol fell under a wider statewide provision that affects many government buildings and it's "a uniform carved-out area across our state."

Tupac Shakur honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

I am honored to announce that the greatest rapper that the world has ever known, Tupac Shakur, has finally received a Hollywood star for his accomplishments in the entertainment industry, making him the fourth rap artist on the planet to be given such a prestigious award. I must say that this has been long over due for the slain Rapper/Actor/Poet/Historian, but as one of his biggest fans I'm totally content with the decision. Almost eighteen years after his death, his music and legacy still continues to live on universally.

Just as Huffingtonpost.com reported back in June, he is one of the best-selling music artists in the world with one of the best-selling hip hop albums, All Eyez on Me, of all time! Tupac has become a martyr during his death especially due to the fact that he has tons of loyal fans worldwide. In Germany and Georgia, statues were erected in his honor, his life has been subjected to over a dozen different documentaries, and several prestigious universities such as Harvard have done lectures on Mr. Shakur. Last but not least, his impact on hip hop culture can be easily displayed by simply turning on your tv or radio. #West side

Hot Topic: Mimi Faust's sex tape sparks controversy among fellow Love and Hip Hop Atlanta co stars

We all know the rule when it comes to playerism, you can't hate the player hate the game. Sadly opposition to Faust's new business venture is undeniably thick and has hit the internet by storm! First we saw some of the brief comments made by Love and Hip Hop cast members such as: her friend Ariane Davis, her child's father Stevie J., his now home-wrecking wife Joseline Hernandez, and finally from R & B singer K. Michelle. I've observed several biased comments posted all over the internet, especially on the reality star's own Instagram page.

Honestly, someone as open-minded as I am could conclude that maybe the reason why Mimi is receiving such a negative backlash from everyone is simply due to jealously. According to Mstarz.com, Faust has signed a $5,000,000 deal with Vivid Entertainment after patiently holding off on the company's first offer of a mere $100,000. That is only the beginning though because the couple still stands to gain an additional 50% worth of the profits once a million copies are sold, putting them in the neighborhood of around $10,000,000, while making her the highest paid reality star in Love and Hip Hop history! See why they hate? I'm almost certain that Miss K. Michelle, one of Faust's biggest haters, hasn't ever seen a check that big where she doesn't have to pay it back against her record sales. On the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta trailer, I saw how Joseline Hernandez tried to put her two cents in, mocking Mimi for being 45 years old doing porn, but it seems that Faust will still be the one laughing all the way to the bank. I guess Joseline felt it was okay when she was parading around the internet tweeting and leaking nude photos of herself all over the net in order to get more exposure and to secure her placement on the next season of the show. One things for certain, Hernandez didn't sign a $5,000,000 deal on any front; instead she has been paraded around America, cross country style, doing club appearances like Stevie J's bottom bitch not his wife.

I've seen several Instagram users and bloggers have the nerve to question such a grown woman for her actions and I personally find it uphauling and downright ignorant. Some of these people have the nerve to question this woman's morality and parenting skills when they know their shit stinks too. I'm wondering did the black community, especially those born out of wedlock, condemn their own parents as such or yourself for committing the adultery or fornication that I know you have; just call me psychic. One of my favorite idioms of all time is "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, let he that is without sin cast the first stone." These are words that people really need to live by. As far as Mimi being a bad role model for her daughter, I totally disagree because a REAL mother will do whatever it takes to ensure that her child has whatever it needs, especially when the no good father has bailed out and wifed some random whore.

If I were Mimi, I wouldn't be worried about the threats that she has received from Stevie as far as him getting a lawyer to gain custody of their daughter. First and foremost, he is married to a former prostitute, whose actually been arrested for prostitution, totally eliminating any "hearsay." Back in March, Straightfromthea.com and Rhymeswithsnitch.com displayed a picture that no one other that Joseline Hernandez mistakenly posted to her Instagram page which showed Stevie with cocaine residue generously around his nostrils and mouth. So Mimi if I were you I wouldn't even entertain such shenanigans coming from his ass or anyone else for that matter. This situation should be the prime example of letting your haters be your motivators because contrary to public opinion if most of them could get up the nerve and confidence to fuck on film; then demand the type of money that you signed up for then they would. The devil is a lie if they say otherwise because money isn't the way that it used to be. With that being said, I wish you the blessing of prosperity and many more to come girl. By the way, you look damn good for your age!

Floyd Mayweather and his harem of harlots: Who is really winning?

"If you can take care of 20 women then you should have 20 women"- Floyd Mayweather

Ever heard of the saying that money can't buy you everything? Well apparently Mr. Floyd "Money" Mayweather fails to concur. We've all read the blogs and other media outlets that have continuously been circulating about everything from: the lavish lifestyle that he lives, his alleged domestic abuse altercations, his ever-growing "stable" of women and their upkeep, to his highly publicized on and off again relationship with his estranged ex fiance Shantel Jackson. After examining all the evidence that has been thrown into the fire, one might wonder who is really winning. I think that it is safe to say that Mayweather has a lot of pets, not friends. As long as this multi million dollar boxing legend keeps pumping dollars into The Money Team I'm sure they'll stick around, but as soon as the cash flow stops then so will their existence. 

On the outside looking in, most of us would unanimously dub the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world the undisputed victor, considering the fact that he has reached the half a billion dollar mark making him the highest paid boxer in the history of the sport. Yet contrary to popular opinion there is no real winner. We all know for certain that most African Americans, whether in entertainment or sports, that come from lower income families who strike gold usually have a financial statement to make in a larger than life type of way. I ain't mad at them but we've also been told to put something aside for a rainy day and with all the spending that Floyd has been doing I just don't see it. I can't tell anyone how to spend their money but obviously he hasn't learned from his fellow sisters and brothers who were at the top of their game, swimming in money, who are now broke. He is a father of four children with two baby mothers who I'm sure constantly have their hands out for money for the kids, rent, mortgage payments, and "pay to play." Yes I said it!

Although both his baby mothers aren't officially with him and they have learned to accept the other women, I'm sure they still have ongoing intimate relations with him. Any single mother in such a situation has always been taught to get all you can get out of a man because nothing is ever guaranteed. I can see this type of situation being put into perspective largely when it comes to Floyd's baby's mother Josie Harris because she seems to be a kept woman. I have yet to read anything in the press stating that he even attempted to repossess even one article of clothing from Ms. Harris. It is what it is, Josie is an older woman that has an extensive history with Mr. Mayweather. Ironically, the same games that he plays with the girls, he knows that he can't play them with the kid. Game recognizes game.



Mayweather's long time girlfriend and the mother of three of his kids, Josie Harris, seems to be the HBIC. (Head Bitch in Charge) I say this because out of all of the women in his stable, she has seemed to bank on her relationship with him. Josie is in a brand new house in LA, not chasing after him in Vegas with the other sidepieces, and she seems to be living a financially secure life. I have to add that I give her a big thumbs up for being smart and not leaving California, a state that would be more favorable to a mother like her in child support court if desperate times called for desperate measures. Secondly, I hear that she is getting ready to publish a "tell all book" which is genius, especially now since she knows that everyone is interested. In my opinion, Josie is a smart chic because out of all his women she'll be the one laughing all the way to the bank although Floyd isn't technically committed to her yet I'm sure a hefty percentage of his money is. She made a big statement last year when she began to post the pictures of the two of them in bed together on Instagram just to let Shantel know that she was here to stay. Although she isn't guaranteed to get the man entirely she seems to be at the top of Mayweather's hierarchy of harlots!


Floyd's repetitively estranged on and off again girlfriend/ex fiance Shantel Jackson and her clueless existence brings tears to my eyes because she had so much potential, yet her efforts have literally amounted to nothing except exposure. In February of this year, Necolebitchie.com wrote an article about the couple's latest debacle over Floyd being spotted with Delicia Cordon during a Lakers vs. Celtics game; Shantel then took to Twitter to publicly express her anger on this matter. Last year, Josie Harris stated that Floyd will never marry Shantel and that he only went along with the engagement for publicity. So far it seems that Ms. Josie has been quite accurate in her predictions. Don't get me wrong because Ms. Jackson is gorgeous and I'm sure she can have any man that she wants if she just applied herself. It seems as though Ms. Jackson obviously didn't have any issues reeling him in yet her misfortune lies in the fact that once caught she knew that she couldn't control such a big fish in these type of waters. Had Ms. Jackson hooked her fish the right way from the very beginning, then security wouldn't have been such an issue. I'm embarrassed for her due to the fact that she has totally made a complete mockery of herself, with the help of Mayweather himself, but when it all boils down to it this situation makes it seem as if she just wanted the fame and nothing else.

Floyd Mayweather has made it a point to publicly humiliate this woman time and time again by stripping her of all the earthly possessions that he has given her. Just recently he confiscated a 2013 Bentley Continental, over $7.4 million dollars worth of jewelry, and he bought back a $63K Hermes purse in which she had to pawn in Beverly Hills in order to pay her rent, only to taunt her with it along with his other side pieces. In addition to all of the excessive gifts that Jackson received, sources close to The Money Team alleges that she was routinely given $200,000 after each of Mayweather's fights. I don't know if the rumor that we've all been hearing pertaining to the contracts that he makes all his women sign as far as returning all the gifts upon ending the relationship is true or not, but if it is then these girls have a lot of growing up to do. According to Mstarz.com, Shantel is currently working on a new reality show entitled "Miss Jackson Finds a Man!" Hopefully she will make some money off of that gig in return. For some odd reason, it looks as if this may be the end to Shantel and Floyd's love affair once and for all considering the fact that she has had the boxing gloves that was tattooed around her wrist removed. You never know what is gonna happen between these two but all we can do is stay tuned.

Melissa Brim, Floyd's second baby's mother, has also been sticking around attempting to get all she can get as well. Although the two aren't formally together these days, he still continues to shower her with gifts. Mstarz.com recently reported that Mayweather has invested in Brim's new boutique in Vegas called Devanna Love Boutique. Several potential consumers across the internet feel as if she could've done alot better as far as getting more quality apparel for the boutique. Sources close to Mayweather report that Floyd isn't happy at all about the business and that he only made a five minute cameo to her grand opening in Vegas. I respect the fact that Melissa is at least she is trying to make her own ends because her daughter will be turning 18 years old in about four years so you already know it's survival of the fittest at that point.

Another notable young lady that quickly earned her position as Floyd's number one go to girl, while the relationship with Shantel was on the rocks, was Queen Princess Love. Floyd met Princess Love while working as a stripper at Spearmint Rino in Las Vegas. Floyd quickly began to shower her with gifts such as Rolex watches, designer clothes, cars, jewelry, plastic surgery, and a condo. Unfortunately the affair was short lived when Mayweather's ex friend, rapper 50 Cent, exposed Princess Love on Instagram for dating R & B singer Ray J. Although Floyd felt it was acceptable that he could see other women, he only wanted Princess Love to himself; too bad she didn't feel the same way. All hell broke loss back in October of 2013, during one of Floyd's fight nights, when Princess Love noticed that Shantel was seated ringside and she wasn't. She then text him and told him that he was not going to disrespect her and that she would be out of his condo by the end of the month! Sources close to Princess Love told Bossip.com that during the fight, Floyd had his assistant break into the condo and take a few items; in turn Princess Love said that Mayweather began to tell the media that she set him up to get robbed. That same source also said that Floyd really wanted to be with Princess Love yet alienate her from her friends, was against her going to school, nor did he want her to start her own clothing line; basically so that she would be only dependent on him.

 

At that point the two broke up and, according to Princess Love, Mayweather began to slander her in the press alleging that she set him up. Shortly afterwards she began to leak tons of text messages that he'd sent her after they'd officially ended the relationship. After reading all the text messages that had been posted online, I came to the conclusion that he was in love with this girl and just couldn't get over the fact that she dropped him. I guess his pride and ego got the best of him because a filthy rich black man such as Mr. Money Mayweather probably felt insulted. Finally in December 2013,  Ebengregory.com revealed a copy of texts that were leaked by Princess Love accusing Floyd of hacking into her Instagram account. The text messages indicate to me that this was a desperate attempt in order to get her to call him but she never did. A blind man can see right through all of this shit. I guess since Floyd isn't used to being rejected or put in his place by mostly anyone, Queen Princess Love became public enemy number one.

For the past year, Floyd Mayweather has added a new "limited edition" to The Money Team by the name of Doralie Medina. Medina was reportedly introduced to Mr. Mayweather through a close friend. At the time, this California native lived with family and was in college studying to become a nurse. Once the Floyd retained her services, she picked up and moved to Vegas in order to be available 7 days a week to the boxer. Contrary to public opinion, Mayweather has established her as his personal masseuse, licensed or not. It has been rumored that Medina has just recently moved into the champ's Las Vegas mansion since the break up with Shantel Jackson. Insiders say that before Floyd and Shantel split, Ms. Jackson began to complain about Medina's existence. It seems as though Floyd is now heavily promoting his "Bad Medina" in order to take Shantel's place; I call it payback. Just this year, Mayweather has invested $100,000 in Doralie's new business venture called Bad Medina Cosmetics. This cosmetic line is said to feature some of the hottest lip glosses around.

I can go on and on about various ladies that are both intimately and financially tied to the boxer but my blog probably would crash at that point. Just naming the major players in this game known as The Money Team is sufficient enough to give readers a good sense how Floyd really gets down. I'm sure that these ladies won't be the first or the last of Floyd's investments around the country. It is evident that he has the power and control to make and break any of these women whenever feasible. Let's just hope that they're using this episode in their lives as a stepping stone so that everything won't be in vain; I'm sure that they are aware that they are dispensable just as Floyd has shown the world that Shantel is. Let stay tuned as the saga continues. I'm just waiting for VH-1 to announce that they'll be launching a reality show on The Money Team!
