The Obamas Family

The Obamas made history in 2008 as the first black President and First Lady of the United States, and have continued to inspire us over the years. Michelle was extremely successful in her own right before she became First Lady in 2008.

According to media reports , the couple are estimated to be worth “more than $135 million”.

Since leaving the White House the pair has made some pretty lucrative deals with projects such as books about their life in the White House, Netflix deals to produce various programmes and films, Barack Obama’s pension fund and various speaking engagements.


Barack and Michelle have two daughters. There has never been a dent in their charm and charisma over the years.

It has reached home – Israel Government excited about Master KG’s hit song, Jerusalema

The Israel government has acknowledged Master KG hit song Jerusalema which has gone viral resulting in worldwide Jerusalema dance challenges.


Jerusalema hit song which Master KG collaborated with multi-talented vocalist Nomcebo Zikode has captured the hearts of many. So far it has gathered 49 million views on YouTube over a 7 month period a South African record on its own.

Despite local snub by SAMA26 awards, the Limpopo based hitmaker Master KG has enjoyed success as his song goes viral word wide. Jerusalema has topped musical charts in United States of America, Ukraine, France, Germany amongst other European and American nations.

Jerusalema dance challenges have set social media on fire and captured the attention of the Israel government. The government of Israel which has Jerusalem as its capital has acknowledged the Jerusalema dance challenge.

Through its Ireland embassy, the Israel government posted a video on its twitter handle of embassy officials dancing to the Master KG song. The tweet captioned:

23-year-old man sentenced to 15 years in prison for plotting an attack on the White House

A man was sentenced on Thursday, July 23, to 15-years in prison for plotting an attack on the White House and several government properties.



Hasher Jallal Taheb, 23, of Cumming, Georiga pleaded guilty to attempted destruction of government property by fire or explosive. He was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court.



“Taheb planned to conduct a terrorist attack on the White House as part of what he claimed was his obligation to engage in jihad,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. “And that was just one of the iconic American landmarks he wanted to target. Thanks to a tip from a member of the community and the work of the agents, analysts, and prosecutors responsible for this case, the threat posed by the defendant was neutralized and the defendant has now been sentenced for his planned terrorist attack.”



“Taheb painstakingly planned an attack on the White House that potentially jeopardized the lives of White House employees and visitors,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak. “We are thankful to members of our community and our federal and state law enforcement partners who identified Taheb’s scheme and worked cooperatively to bring him to justice.”



“Because of a tip from the public, the FBI Atlanta Joint Terrorism Task Force and our law enforcement partners began a year-long investigation that resulted in Taheb's arrest and potentially saved many lives,” said Chris Hacker, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta.



“The phrase 'If you see something, say something' may seem trite, but our citizens are our eyes and ears in our communities, one of our most important weapons in fighting terrorism, and this case exemplifies that,” he added.



According to the charges and other information presented in court: In March 2018, a member of the Atlanta community reported concerns about Taheb to a local law enforcement agency, which then contacted the FBI. The community member specifically alerted law enforcement that Taheb had become radicalized and was making plans to travel abroad.



During an undercover operation conducted by the FBI, federal investigators learned in October 2018 that Taheb, in fact, applied for a passport and planned to travel overseas.



At the same time, Taheb had begun planning domestic attacks in the United States as part of his desire to engage in “jihad.” His targets initially included the White House and the Statue of Liberty.



Later in December 2018, Taheb broadened his prospective targets in the Washington, D.C. area, to include the Washington Monument, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and a synagogue.



During undercover meetings with Taheb in January 2019, Taheb produced sketches of the White House and described the types of weapons and explosives he intended to use in the attacks, including semi-automatic weapons, improvised explosive devices, an anti-tank weapon, and hand grenades.



FBI special agents arrested Taheb on Jan. 16, 2019, after Taheb arrived at a pre-arranged location where he expected to obtain semi-automatic assault rifles, explosive devices, and an anti-tank weapon.



Federal investigators searched Taheb’s computer following his arrest and found a video that he made. In the video, Taheb addressed “. . . America, its allies, its president, and its people.”



He recounted his grievances with American policy and proclaimed that America would not see peace unless it changed its foreign policy as he was a man who loved death more than American’s love life. He also encouraged other Muslims to fight.



Hasher Jallal Taheb who pleaded guilty to these charges on April 1, 2020, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Mark H. Cohen to 15 years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release.



This case was investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which includes the U.S. Secret Service. The Forsyth County Sheriff Office and Gwinnett County Police Department also provided assistance

Liverpool lifts Premier League trophy after thrashing Chelsea 5 - 3 at Anfield (Photos)

Champions of England, Liverpool have been presented the Premier League trophy following their 5-3 win against Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday, July 22.



The Jurgen Klopp's side dominated the Premier League this year and won the league with seven games to spare in late June. It took them 28 wins and 86 points to win the title.



They were first confirmed champions of Premier League 2019/2020 season after Chelsea defeated Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge last month to deny them the chance of defending the title and paving the way for The Reds to get their hands on the title after a 30-year wait.



Speaking to Sky Sports after his side were crowned champions. Jurgen Klopp said: 'That’s how life is you make the best of what you get. Everything would be better with fans but we’ve known for six months it would not be possible but I didn’t think we’d even do this a few months ago.



'I couldn’t be happier, it would be perfect if the stadium would be full but we cannot change it. We do it for them. Everyone celebrates at home, it’s a great moment.'



Klopp continues: 'We are champions of england, Europe and the world. I know how that sounds but it’s the truth. We’ve won four trophies, really big ones.



'Thank you very much, we should all together celebrate at home, drink celebrate, when this b******* virus is gone we will celebrate together and have a party!'



Liverpool F.C. had previously won England's top football league 18 times. The club's last league title win was the 1989-90 season.

SA Woman Goes Through Hell After Exposing Zim Prophet’s Fake Miracles

Woman’s Goes Through Hell After Exposing Zim Prophet’s Fake Miracles

A South African woman, Thabisa Ralawe’s life had turned into a living nightmare, after she exposed an SA based, Zim pastor for fake healing miracles.

Speaking to a South African publication, Ralawe said her life has been difficult for the past 2 years and she’s still living in fear after she exposed the shady elements at her former church.



The pastor in question, known as Jay Israel, originally comes from Zimbabwe although, he uses an alias in his documents.

Pastor Jay Israel publicly apologized to Ralawe on a youtube video and admitted to performing fake miracles as well as running his church like a cult.

Pastor Jay Israel rose to fame with his healing miracles which involved wheelchair bound people walking again.

Ralawe at the time, worked as the church’s public relations officer.

When asked about pastor Jay Israel’s apology, Ralawe had this to say.


“I don’t take his apology seriously as he did not look sincere. He was just smiling right through the apology.

“When I asked him why he decided to apologise now, which is two years later, he said he had repented and had to face God. The apology was part of his journey. However, he failed to tell me what he was apologising for.”

Pastor Jay Israel

She said after exposing the pastor 2 Years ago, her life has been hellish, she received death threats, and had her car tyres slashed.

She said she also suffered loss of income after he dragged her name in the mud and accused her of being bitter that he turned down her se_xual advances.


“I received three-year contracts from different nonprofit organisations for motivational talks and to empower girls and divorced women. After the allegations… they pulled out because of reputational damage.”

She said her problems started when she was introduced to the church in June 2017.

She was offered the PR job when she doused the social media attacks, Jay Israel was getting from preaching about abstinence in young, unmarried people.

She said she was bothered about prophecy time in the church.


“He always wanted the congregation to close their eyes but one day I decided to keep my eyes opened. That is when I discovered that there were people guiding him to choose congregants he would prophesy about.

She claims he had a list of people who had professed their problems beforehand and then he would pretend as if God gave him a directive to prophesy on the person.

She claimed he had a couple of professionally hired actors at his service to participate in the miracles session.


“There were many miracles that did not make sense and I felt so bad to be part of the scam.

She said that the police failed her and pastor Jay Israel has since moved from East London.

Eastern Cape police spokesperson Khaya Tonjeni confirmed that Ralawe opened an intimidation case.


There are no arrests that have been made and the investigation continues,” he said

Madagascar Goes Back To Strict Lockdown As Covid-19 Cases Skyrocket

Madagascar, a Southern African country famously known for its Covid Organics coronavirus medicine has has placed its capital Antananarivo under a new lockdown following a fresh wave of Covid-19 cases barely two months after the restrictions were eased, the presidency announced on Sunday afternoon.

“The Analamanga region (under which the capital is situated) is returning to full lockdown,” read part of the statement by President Andry Rajoelina. The lockdown will block traffic from moving in and out of the region. The curfew, which has been described as ‘strict’ will throttle the movement of people in the capital.

“Only one person per household is allowed to go out into the street between 6 am and 12 pm” said the statement.

The President said the measures had been undertaken “because of the spread of the epidemic and the increase of COVID-19 cases.”

Madagascar has been used to dozens of new cases in a day, but a record jump of 216 new cases on Saturday has prompted the authorities to reinstate lockdown measures to curb the surge.

The positivity rate has also increased to over 30 person as 675 were tested on Saturday.

The Southern African has tested above 24,000 people so far.

A total of 2,728 coronavirus cases have been recorded in Madagascar. 29 people has since died from the pandemic that started in China in December 2019. Madagascar recorded its first case on 29 March.

The President has also suspended all government meetings as they will now be done under video conferencing due to the lockdown.

A month after the first case in Madagascar, President Andry Rajoelina, a former DJ announced to the world that his country had invented the first coronavirus herbal cure in form of a drink called Covid Organics.


Rajoelina has duped it ‘the green gold’ as he as been promoting the export of the drink to countries over the world with Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania and other African countries being the first recipients.

COVID-Organics, is a tonic derived from artemisia – a plant that is often used for the cure of malaria, has not been clinically tested or approved.

We could have sold the fight for freedom for personal gains, but we stood our grounds – Gaddafi

Today on time with the ancestors, we will reconnect with Libyan revolutionary leader Colonel Gaddafi by having a look at one of the most relevant quotes from the archives.

Muammar Gaddafi once said that they (the free fighters) had every opportunity to relent on the fight for liberation and make individual wealth, but they never gave up. Read the exact quote below.

“Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect, but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honor.”

There is a lot to learn from our father, Gaddafi, and this quote has its relevance well established in these contemporary times. What can we, especially the new crop of Pan-Africanist, learn from this?

Patriotism and the need to remain resolute on our resolve to seek true independence for Africa. The utmost need to keep an eye on and Prioritize the collective good over selfish interest. The moral strength to choose good over evil. The mental agility to see beyond instant gratification.

The people of old did their part to get us where we are today. They faced the gun and chain approach of colonialism as much as they could. We are facing neocolonialism. We equally have the chance to liberate future generations from the seemingly unbreakable shackles or further incapacitate them by yielding to selfish interest.

Our leadership today must equally be aware that, being puppets to Superpowers is a sign of selling the course for personal gain as implied by Colonel Gaddafi. Receiving kickbacks just to sign parasitic deals that later mortgages the continent is not an exclusion.

We have a long way to go and we need to keep an eye on the ultimate goal. The last thing to do at this time when a lot of Africans are rising against oppression and pushing for unity is to amplify selfish interest. Let’s take this lesson and stand firm till victory.

Barack Obama Speaks On His First Date With Michelle

‘Michelle’ was assigned to be my adviser. I remember being struck by how tall and beautiful she was,” said Barack Obama

Obama-and-Michelle obama first date

Former President of the United Stated of America (USA) Barack Obama has opened up on how he met his wife Michelle at the law firm she used to work for.

Barack said that when he got a new job as the same law firm where Michelle worked and found our that she was going to be his mentor he was very happy.

“In the luckiest break of my life, ‘Michelle’ was assigned to be my adviser. I remember being struck by how tall and beautiful she was,” said Barack adding that Michelle was not impressed.

The former first lady disclosed that she remained sceptical of the former president even though Barack was loved by everyone in the office.

“In my experience, you put a suit on any half-intelligent black man and white people tended to go bonkers. I was doubtful he would earn the hype,” said Michelle in her memoir Becoming.

However, Barack did not give up and kept on pursuing her. “I asked her out. She refused. I kept asking. She kept refusing,” said Barack adding that his future wife would turn him down time and time again over the course of several weeks, claiming it was because she was his boss.

Nevertheless, after Barack offered to leave his job then asked Michelle out again, and she said yes. The couple then went for their first date which included lunch, a movie, a stroll in the park, a stop at an ice cream shop and ended off with an incredible kiss on a park bench.

“I treated her to the finest ice cream Baskin-Robbins had to offer, our dinner table doubling as the curb. I kissed her, and it tasted like chocolate,” Barack said.
“And with that, I leaned in and everything felt clear,” Michelle summarized in her memoir.

Trump administration considering banning Chinese Government officials from entering the US

The Trump administration is considering banning all members of the Chinese Communist Party and their families from traveling to the United States, according to a source within the administration.

According to the New York Times, who spoke to the source, senior administration officials discussing the matter have begun circulating a draft of a possible presidential order, a move that would worsen the already damaged relationship between the US and China.

According to the NY Times, the source speaking on condition of anonymity, said deliberations are at an early stage and the issue has not yet been brought to U.S. President Donald Trump.


According to the New York Times, the ban which will focus on denying visas to tens of millions of Chinese citizens, would be one of Washington's toughest actions against China.

The source said the ban could hit the ruling Communist Party from the highest levels down to its rank-and-file and would be certain to draw retaliation from China.
The ban could also affect business executives, potentially harming U.S. interests in China.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying reacting to the reports on Friday, said such action by the United States, if true, would be "pathetic."

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday refused to confirm the report but said:
"We're working our way through, under the president's guidance, about how to think about pushing back against the Chinese Communist Party."

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters: "We keep every option on the table with regard to China."

Relations between China and the US are now at the lowest point in decades as both countries clash over China's handling of the Coronavirus outbreak, China's new security law on Hong Kong, China's disputed claims in the South China Sea, and trade disputes.

It was normal, it comes easily to him' - Trump's niece says she heard her uncle use the n-word and anti-Semitic slurs

                                   

Mary Trump, the niece of President Trump, has said she heard her uncle use the n-word and anti-Semitic slurs so many times while she was growing up.



Mary Trump recently hit the limelight after releasing a blockbuster new book, 'Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man.'



In the book, she makes many allegations about Donald Trump and the Trump family, but most of the allegations have been denied by Trump's family and the White House.



For a while there was speculation that Trump used the n-word behind-the-scenes during the filming of his hit TV show 'The Apprentice,' but the tapes have never surfaced. 



Speaking to Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, Mary Trump admitted she heard her uncle use racial slurs:

'Of course I did. And I don't think that should surprise anybody given how virulently racist he is today.'

Mary Trump had earlier said in an interview with The Washington Post that her family engaged in bigotry throughout her childhood. 

'Growing up, it was sort of normal to hear them use the n-word or use anti-Semitic expressions,' she told.

She told The Post that she hasn't been surprised by the president's racist language nor policies, including separating children from their parents at the southern border.

'No, the more divisive the better, the cooler,' she said. 

'It comes easily to him and he thinks it's going to score him points with the only people who are continuing to support him,' Mary Trump said. 



She described what her family engaged in as 'a knee-jerk anti-Semitism, a knee-jerk racism.'

'Homophobia was never an issue because nobody ever talked about gay people, well, until my grandmother called Elton John' an anti-gay slur,' she  told The Post.
 

Continuously pressed by Maddow if she had heard the president use the n-word and anti-Semitic slurs Mary Trump replied: 'Yes.'



The White House has rejected Mary's allegations, calling her book  'a book of falsehoods', adding: 'The president doesn't use those words.' 



Mary Trump, a lesbian, was secretly engaged to a woman and says she never came out as gay because her grandmother Mary said the prospect of Elton John singing at the funeral of Princess Diana was 'a disgrace' and called him a 'little' six-letter slur. 



She also described President Trump's 2016 campaign as being racist several times in the book.

'He did tap into a certain bigotry and inchoate rage, which he's always been good at doing,' she wrote, pointing to the 1989 New York Times ad the president took out demanding that the Central Park Five - a group of five black suspects who were cleared of assault and rape charges - be executed.   
 

When asked what will happen if her uncle wins a second term, she told the paper, 'I may be in the Caribbean.' 

‘We Remember Terrorist Mandela’s Victims,’ White Farmers Refuse To Celebrate Mandela Day

Mandela and De Klerk

 

White farmers under the banner Stop Farm Attacks and Murder have decided to remember what they called ‘Nelson Mandela’s victims’ on Mandela day. The post was commented by hundreds of white farmers who are in agreement with the post.

The post reads:

“Today I don’t mourn Mandela’s passing. Instead , today I think of the people he murdered. I think of them lying in their graves while for years he drank champagne and was fettered on the international stage as some kind of living god. I think of all the people who have died since he became president of South Africa. All the farmers , all the elderly , all the men , women and especially all the children , who died as a result of him being unleashed onto South Africa.
And while the brainwashed celebrate his life and his so-called achievements , I remember that he pleaded guilty to 156 counts of public violence , including mobilizing terrorist bombing campaigns , which planted bombs in public places. Many innocent people including women and children died because of Mandela and his MK terrorists. For that he wasn’t hung by the neck until dead – instead he was given a life sentence in jail , the biggest mistake ever made by the South African judiciary. For it gave the ANC time to white-wash his history and remake Mandela into a freedom fighter. And with the help of Communists around the Western world , the reincarnation of Mandela the freedom fighter and Black activist was achieved.
 

I’ll remember too that he released thousands of criminals , murderers and rapists from jail every year to celebrate his birthday while president , unleashing even more violence , chaos and death on the people of South Africa. I’ll remember Mandela supporting some of the worst dictatorships and human rights abusers in the world: Fidel Castro , Ghaddafi in Libya , China , Suddam Hussein in Iraq , Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe….the list goes on. No one too evil to visit or welcome in South Africa by Mandela , yet he was celebrated as a human rights champion by the world.
Farm Attack: Reivilo North West Elderly couple brutally attacked

I’ll remember that over 100 000 people were murdered under Mandela’s presidency – an average of 25 000 people each year. Up from 170 each year under Apartheid (1948-1989). I’ll remember that in the first four years of his presidency , the South African currency lost 80% of its value and 2.8 million working days were lost due to strikes. I’ll remember that the national debt doubled under Mandela.
Yes , I will remember the failure that the man Nelson Mandela was. Not the magical myth we’re supposed to believe in. The world may have repackaged and re-branded him , but underneath he’s still the same murdering terrorist and Communist he always was.”

If you don’t like this or are “OFFENDED” by it, good! I hope a dose of reality wakes up your brain! Unfriend me if you want. I couldn’t give a shyte.

Twitter is investigating whether hackers bribed an employee to get access to celebrity accounts in catastrophic breac

Twitter and the FBI have started investigations into whether hackers bribed a Twitter employee to get access into verified accounts and post messages soliciting for bitcoins.

On Wednesday, July 15, Twitter announced that so many high profile celebrity accounts like former US President Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Elon Musk were breached, as the hackers used the accounts to post scam messages soliciting Bitcoin transfers to a wallet controlled by the hackers.

According to Twitter, hackers received $120,000 worth of Bitcoin in 500 transactions, with the scam said to be one of the largest ever on a social media site.

The FBI has announced it is investigating the hacks, and said the high-profile accounts 'appear to have been compromised in order to perpetuate cryptocurrency fraud.'

After discovering that the hackers used Twitter's own administrative tools to carry out the attack, the company is now investigating whether an employee was tricked into turning over their credentials, or bribed into cooperating, according to the New York Times. 

Hackers claiming responsibility for the attack previously told Motherboard that they had paid off a Twitter worker to help carry out the attack, sharing screenshots of a Twitter admin panel to back up their claims.

'We used a rep that literally done all the work for us,' one of the alleged hackers said.

Twitter says said it is continuing to assess whether non-public data related to the targeted accounts was compromised, and that it will provide updates if that occurred. 

I agree our relationship was an entanglement' - August Alsina reacts to Jada and Will Smith's viral Red Table talk interview

                             

Singer, August Alsina has finally reacted to Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith's viral 'Red Table talk' interview last week where Jada admitted she had a relationship with August when she and her husband Will Smith had separated.





The word "entanglement" went viral as Jada repeatedly used it to define what was going on between them, as Will pushed for her to be more specific. She confirmed it was a relationship, one that happened while she and Will were on a break and on the brink of divorce.



Alsina was the one who first made the relationship public by speaking about it with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club and then when his claims made headlines, the Smiths decided to address them head-on.





While August claims he hasn't watched the complete episode, he has now reacted to Jada calling their relationship an "entanglement."

In a new interview with Vulture, Alsina said;

"I don’t know why that word is such an issue. I would agree,"
"If you look up the definition of 'entanglement,' it is a complex and difficult relationship. It was exactly that. I think it's just the language that probably stuck out to people. But I definitely have to agree with it being an entanglement. It definitely was something complicated, a complicated dynamic."

He explained he spoke out in the first place because "a lot of chatter" about the situation was already out there and he was starting to get a reputation as "this problematic guy who was super reckless, like I'm pushing up on someone's wife."

"I didn't really like that. I didn't like the sound of that, especially when it wasn't the truth," he continued, saying that the perception also "started to f--k with my partnerships and business relationships and money."

"I didn't like how that started to tamper with my life and finances," he added. "I felt it necessary to get it out off of my spirit and clear the air."

Alsina says he doesn't "have an issue with anybody." now the story is out in the public space.
He added, "I love everybody. I love all of them. They've been my family, and there's a lot of history there."

He also revealed he didn't have regrets about the relationship because of what he learned about himself through it.

"[It] helped me to operate and access my higher self," he said. "I don't regret it at all because I know that on this planet, there is not much harmony, and there is not much love, so when you’re actually given love, real love that you’ve never experienced, it is a gift."

US attacks Disney, Google, Microsoft and Apple for doing business with China

                               US attacks Disney, Google, Microsoft and Apple for doing business with China

The United States administration has continued it's criticism of China, blasting companies like Disney, Google, Microsoft and Apple, for doing business with China while accusing Hollywood of censoring it's movies to please the Chinese government.



US Attorney General, Bill Barr, speaking  at a speech in Michigan said Tech companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Disney  were 'all too willing to collaborate with the Chinese Communist Party.'



He also accused China's Communist Party of committing 'economic blitzkrieg' and said the Chinese regime was intent on surpassing the U.S.

"China's Communist Party seeks to exploit the openness of our institutions in order to destroy them' 

'They seek to raid the United States'

'I suspect Walt Disney would be disheartened to see how the company he founded deals with the foreign dictatorships of our day' 

Barr said US companies bow to demands of the regime in Beijing to maintain access to the lucrative Chinese market, and noted the US has become overly reliant on face masks, medical gowns and other protective equipment produced in China, designed to curb the spread of  coronavirus.

'The People´s Republic of China is now engaged in an economic blitzkrieg - an aggressive, orchestrated, whole-of-government (indeed, whole-of-society) campaign to seize the commanding heights of the global economy and to surpass the United States as the world´s preeminent superpower,' Barr said.

'The CCP has launched an orchestrated campaign, across all of its many tentacles in Chinese government and society, to exploit the openness of our institutions in order to destroy them,' Barr said.

'The ultimate ambition of China's rulers isn't to trade with the United States,' Barr said.

 'It is to raid the United States.'

'Globalization does not always point in the direction of greater freedom. A world marching to the beat of Communist China´s drums will not be a hospitable one for institutions that depend on free markets, free trade, or the free exchange of ideas,' Barr said.
 

Barr's address at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is part of the Trump administration to denounce China.



Trump is trying to fend off criticism of his handling of the Coronavirus pandemic and the U.S. economic downturn in order shift the blame back on to China.

Gigolos star, Ash Armands charged with murder for 'beating his girlfriend' to death

Gigolos star,?Ash Armands charged with murder


Ash Armand, best known for appearing in the Showtime series, "Gigolos," has been charged with the murder for allegedly beating his girlfriend to death.



In a press release statement issued last night, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department stated that they responded to an emergency call after a woman who is believed to be the 38-year-old's girlfriend, was found unresponsive.



By the time police arrived, they discovered the woman was deceased and “showed signs of trauma”. The TV star was then arrested at the scene.

According to the statement, detectives stated that the two were "friends" and that the TV star who appeared in Season 3 of "Gigolos," is thought to have been "under the influence of narcotics" when he allegedly "beat the woman to death."

Armand was arrested on one count of open murder and was taken to the Clark County Detention Center where he is reportedly being held without bail.



Police say the Clark County Coroner's Office will identify the woman alongside the cause and manner of her death once her family is notified.



Armand appeared on season three of Gigolos which ended in 2016 after six seasons.

Mother sentenced to 35 years in prison for beating her son to death with shower head for soiling himself

37-year-old JoAnn Cunningham has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for beating her son to death with shower head because he soiled himself.



The mother who pleaded guilty to the first degree murder of her son Andrew "AJ" Freund in 2019, must serve 100% of the sentence and if released at age 72, must serve a further three years of mandatory supervised release and register as a felon who has committed violence against children.



Though the boy's family had hoped for the maximum 60 years behind bars for the 41 separate charges Cunningham and her husband, Andrew Freund Sr, faced between them, Judge Robert Wilbrandt who delivered the sentence on Friday afternoon said his decision was based on the fact that the murder charge to which Cunningham pleaded guilty did not include the aggravating factors of the original charges.



The couple had called to report that their son was missing on April 18, 2019. While an investigation found no trace of the boy or of an abduction at home; the police did find squalid conditions, bags of used syringes, chains and locks on the windows and doors of AJ's room and a combination lock on his closet.



A search of Cunningham's phone unearthed a video which had been shot on March 4: “AJ is seen laying on a bare mattress in a crib in a room I recognized to be his bedroom," Detective Edwin Maldonado of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, wrote in an affidavit. "In the video, a female with a voice consistent with JoAnn’s is holding the phone and videotaping. She is berating AJ for urinating on his bed."



The officer said that in the video the child is naked except for bandages around his wrist and hips; he is covered in bruising, Action News Jax reported. When confronted with this video, police said Freund confessed and showed them the shallow grave where he had buried his son.

During Biel's first pregnancy back in 2015, the two were very active on social media most of the time, publicly speaking on it as well. The two are still active on social media, but Timberlake hasn't posted any recent pictures of him with his wife at all.



The birth of the couple's new son comes just eight months after Timberlake was caught getting handsy with his co-star Alisha Wainwright, 31, during a night out in New Orleans, Louisiana.



Photos from their night out show Wainwright touching Timberlake's knee before he was snapped taking hold of her hand.



Onlookers told the Sun Timberlake, who was not wearing his wedding ring, appeared to have been drinking heavily.



Two weeks later, Timberlake apologized to Biel publicly via Instagram and admitted to drinking too much on the night in question.

Olympic figure skater, Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya dies at 20 after 'falling from an apartment window'

Olympic figure skater, Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya dies at 20 after

Russian Olympic figure skater, Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya, has died at the age of 20 after reportedly falling from an apartment window in Moscow.

Reports in Russia say that the athlete "fell out of a window in Moscow" on Friday and "died on the spot," but the cause of death has not been confirmed.

Jan Dijkema, the president of the International Skating Union confirmed her death in a statement, saying: "The ISU is shocked by the news of Ekaterina's passing."

"She was a talented pair skater and the Figure Skating community will miss her. We offer our deepest sympathies to her family, friends, and teammates and mourn this tragic loss."

Alexandrovskaya, who was born in the Russian capital in 2000, represented Australia at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang after obtaining Australian citizenship in 2016.



The 20-year-old who teamed up Harley Windsor of Australia in 2016 and represented the country in international competition, winning the World Junior title in 2017, the ISU says.

"They went on to make history as the first Australian skaters to win an ISU Championship title," the ISU says. The pair won ISU Junior Grand Prix Final title in 2017 and competed at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games.

Windsor posted a photo of the pair on Instagram and paid tribute to his former sports partner. He wrote: "Words can not describe how I feel right now, I am devastated and sick to my core about the sad and sudden passing of Katia.

The amount we had achieved during our partnership is something I can never forget and will always hold close to my heart. This news is something you can never prepare for. Rest In Peace Katia."



Alexandrovskaya retired from the sport in February 2020 after a series of injuries.

"Due to health concerns, Katia and I are unable to continue," Windsor wrote on Instagram in February. "I want to take this opportunity to wish Katia all the best in the future and a quick recovery."

''I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to my children'' Pastor Adeboye replies critics of his birthday message to his wife

Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has told those who bashed him over his birthday message to his wife, Foluke last Monday, July 13, not to bother with the criticism as his message was for his children and not for them.



The 78-year-old clergyman was attacked last week after he shared his birthday message to his wife of 52 years. In the post, the clergyman listed the things his wife has done for him and still does that has made their marriage work and appealed to ladies to learn from her. He said she is a submissive woman who still cooks and serves his meals, and looks after his welfare.



He was seriously bashed by some Nigerians who accused him of making the birthday post about him instead of just celebrating his wife.



This morning, he reacted to the backlash. While delivering his sermon titled “From lockdown to lifting up” on July 19, the clergyman said only his ''children'' would understand his comment.

“As a matter of fact, if there is a way of preaching this sermon just to my own children alone, that is what I would have done.

Not because I’m selfish but occasionally there are things you say to your children that would annoy outsiders. And you keep on saying, but I am not talking to you, I am talking to my children. But now, the lockdown has made the door open to everybody.

Some people see the glory but don’t know the story. Some people see me and say all kinds of things. It’s none of my business.

I don’t need to answer you. I just need to keep on riding high with my king. I’m talking to my children, so others should not be angry with me. Before you take off, consider your landing.” he said

Kanye West to hold his first presidential campaign event in South Carolina today

Kanye West to hold his first presidential campaign event in South Carolina today?

Kanye West is reportedly holding his first presidential campaign event in South Carolina on Sunday, July 19, at 5 p.m



The event will be held at the Exquis Event Center in North Charleston and is "for registered guests only."

Hi guys please sign up to put me on the ballot in South Carolina at any of these locations You can also sign up at the websitehttps://t.co/ZURvTEW9ee pic.twitter.com/3rV5ujExPm

— ye (@kanyewest) July 18, 2020

According to a statement sighted by ABC News, all attendees will be asked to sign a COVID-19 liability release form, social distance, and wear a mask. West will also be holding a pre-rally press event.



Earlier in the day, the Billionaire rapper, 43, tweeted to urge his fans to sign up as he is looking to acquire signatures to get on the ballot in South Carolina.

He wrote: "Hi guys please sign up to put me on the ballot in South Carolina at any of these locations," he wrote, sharing a list of locations. "You can also sign up at the website kanye2020.country."

It's unclear how West would qualify to get on the ballot in South Carolina as the deadline to file signatures as an independent candidate was July 15. He has also missed the deadline to qualify for the ballot in several states.



Last week, West filed the necessary paperwork and paid the $35,000 filing to register as an independent candidate in Oklahoma, where the deadline had not yet passed.

Madagascar herb can’t cure COVID-19 – NIPRD

The National Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD) has shared its result from evaluation and analysis of Madagascar’s herbal drink ‘COVID Organics’.



In a statement released on Sunday July 19, the NIPRD said that the drug which contains majorly Artemisia annua cannot effectively cure Coronavirus as claimed. It however reduces frequency of cough with maximum dose, producing an effect equivalent to that produced by the centrally acting cough-suppressant, dihydrocodeine.

The institute further disclosed that it would further investigate the drug’s effect on tracheal mucus expectoration.



It read;

 “Safety studies show that COVID ORGANICS (CVO) products do not alter the normal physiology of the animals.

“CVO caused a significant decrease in the platelet counts although the values are within the physiological range for Wistar rats.

 “The increase in alkaline phosphatase observed in the CVO female group may indicate a cause of concern although the values are within the physiological ranges for Wistar rats and this was not observed in the organs.

“On the whole CVO can be considered safe based on the model used which did not cover other routes of administration, effects of long-term use, or organ histological evaluation of the test systems.

“CVO reduced cough frequency with the maximum dose tested producing an effect equivalent to that produced by the centrally acting cough-suppressant, dihydrocodeine.

“To further characterise this product based on its effect on the respiratory tract, it will be important to investigate its effect on tracheal mucus expectoration.

“While CVO dose-dependently reduced general febrile response, the effect was not sustained and was less than for indomethacin."



Director-General of NIPRD, Dr. Obi Adigwe added;



“Well, I cannot tell you what they have done. I can only tell you what we have done here.

”The analysis we gave in our report is more detail than anything that had come from their country.

“They are hiding the analysis of their own product. If you go online, you cannot get the level of analysis that we gave.

“They are hiding a lot of things and I think it is possible that they know that they don’t have strong science backing up their claim. But our own analysis does not show any proof that it can cure COVID-19.”
