"U.S. Soldiers Arrested In Obama Assassination Plot"

President Obama has faced several assassination threats so far in his presidency, but the most recent one is likely the most distressing. The threat originated from a domestic terrorist group operating within our own military. Four soldiers have been plotting to kill Obama, though specific details regarding their plot are currently unknown.

What we do know is that the soldiers purchased $87,000 worth of ammunition, including bomb making materials, and planned to used them against the President. Authorities accidentally unearthed the plot while investigating the murder of former soldier Michael Roark and his girlfriend, Tiffany York. The group, who called themselves "F.E.A.R.", allegedly killed Roark and York for not cooperating with their plan. Apparently, this wasn't a hack job either, since the plans that were uncovered contained sensitive information and clearly required extensive plotting.

"This domestic terrorist organization did not simply plan and talk," said prosecutor Isabel Pauley. "Prior to the murders in this case, the group took action. Evidence shows that group possessed the knowledge, the means and motive to carry out their plans."

The ringleader of the group, Pvt. Isaac Aguigui used $500,000 he received from insurance for the death of his pregnant wife to buy the necessary weapons for the plot. All four of the men have been denied bond, and are being held at Liberty Country Jail.

I guess it will never end.  I've never heard of our own military unit trying to plot to kill the United States President.  Wow, unbelievable.

"Beanie Sigel Arrested With Pills & Firearm In Vehicle"

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for Beanie "Beans" Sigel, his amount of legal stress just shot through the roof.  Around 3:15 a.m. this morning, August 29th, Beans was arrested during a traffic stop on the Interstate 95 in Delaware County.  Beans was riding shotgun with an associate named Gerald Andrews, when Pennsylvania State Troopers noticed their tan Ford Fusion driving suspiciously behind another vehicle and forced them to pull over.  

Both men were ordered to step out of the car and upon doing a brief search of Mr. Andrews, the officers discovered a small amount of marijuana and multiple prescription bottles.  Beanie Sigel, legally known as Dwight E. Grant, was then patted down and sadly for Beans, police found him holding approximately $4,650 in cash, multiple prescription pills wrapped in plastic bags that were stuffed inside of a cigarette pack, and a bottle of codeine syrup with a scratched off label...but wait, it gets worse.  After seaching their vehicle, the State Troopers found a firearm which was located in the center holding console.  

Both Beans and Mr. Andrews are in fact convicted felons, so the fact that they had the narcotics in their possession is bad on its own, but if you add the gun to that mountain of stress, you'll get an avalanche of legal troubles to come in the near future.  They were promptly transported to the Pennsylvania State Police barracks in Media after the drugs and firearm was discovered.  

The 38-year-old Beanie Sigel was supposed to check himself into prison on September 12th, 2012, for charges of tax evasion.  However, this current arrest will more than likely add to his prison time, and he may even be held behind bars until his pending September 12th date with a prison cell.

The lineage of First Lady Michelle Obama can be traced back to both slaves and slave owners, a fact that a Spanish Magazine decided to take a little too far. For the August 2012 cover of "Fuera de Serie", the mag took a painting done of lady Obama in which her face is painted onto the body of a slave. The image is a doctored version of an existing 1800s painting of a slave done by Marie-Guilhelmine Benoist. The rethought version, which was done by Karine Percheron-Daniels, wasn't specifically made for the magazine. It was originally a part of a series of nude photos that included figures such as Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth, and even President Obama.

"Hoopz Confirms She's No Longer Dating Shaq"

NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal's roller coaster relationship with his reality star girlfriend Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander has fizzled out, with Hoopz confirming to the Boston Globe that she and Shaq are no longer dating.

The couple started dating in 2010 when Shaq was still playing for the Celtics and they soon moved in together. Once he retired, they moved to Florida and things became serious for the couple, leading to a joyous engagement. However, rumors began surfacing about a break-up between the two in March, something Shaq wholeheartedly denied.

BlackSportsOnline reveals that trouble was allegedly brewing between the two from this point on, and Shaq broke things off after seeing Hoopz melt down at the Orlando Metro Gymnastics facility. Hoopz was reportedly so inspired by Gabby Douglas' gold medal performance at the Olympics that she hit up the gym for lessons. According to an eyewitness, Hoopz broke down when they told her they couldn't train athletes who are over 18.

"The gym doesn't teach people over the age of 18 for insurance purposes and when Hoopz was told this she lost her mind. She started to curse out the staff and became belligerent. She got extremely loud, screaming at the top of her lungs how she needed to train for the 2016 Olympics. Shaq was embarrassed, he dropped his head like he was ashamed of her. He didn't say anything while they were in the gym, but once they got to their car a heated argument took place. You could hear and see them screaming at each other. I felt bad for him."

"Anti-Obama Documentary Brings in $6.2 Million"

With it's total ticket sales reaching $6.2 million, the anti-Obama documentary, 2016: Obama's America, has managed to snag a spot on the box office top-10 list for this past weekend.  The film is essentially a conservative look at what the state of America will be like if Obama is re-elected in the upcoming Presidential Election.

The documentary originally only opened at limited theater venues before expanding to 1,091 theaters across the nation and averaging about $5,717 per theater.  Box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented on the rarity of having a documentary reach the top 10 in the box office.  

"It's extremely rare for a documentary to break into the top-10.  August can be a land of opportunity for smaller films. Also, there's the fact that this is a very conservative film. Normally, it's Michael Moore-branded documentaries, the liberal documentaries that make all the money."

According to Dniesh D'Souza, who wrote the book titled The Roots of Obama's Rage, the documentary offers people new information about Obama and his policies that will have various effects on the country's future. The documentary is definitely aimed at painting a negative picture of the president.

"What's happening is that people are really hungry for new information about Obama.  There there's a second sense that the American dream is in the balance, the American dream is at stake, and that gives people a sense of anxiety about where the country is going."

During a campaign stop earlier this month, President Obama commented on the Republicans' efforts to portray him in a negative way and blame him solely for the current unhealthy state of our economy while forgetting that it was George W. Bush, a Republican, who brought the country to its current state of economic instability in the first place.

"All they will say is that the economy is not as good as it should be and it's Obama's fault.  They expect you to have amnesia and not remember who it is that got us into the mess."

DMX Reminisces Over Aaliyah, Recalls Their Friendship

Today is the anniversary of late R&B singer Aaliyah's death. She died 11 years ago, but many still cherish her and her music. DMX in particular was rather fond of Aaliyah, and recalled many great moments they had together. X and Aaliyah collaborated on the song "Come Back In One Piece" for the "Romeo Must Die" soundtrack, and DMX specifically remembers shooting the video.

"I had fun shooting that video," said the Yonkers rapper. "My wife got mad because there was one scene I was sitting up on the bench and Aaliyah was sitting below between my legs. I had on a jean jacket, it was a little chilly, and Aaliyah just had on a T-shirt. I was rubbing her arms, warming her up...I just felt the eyeballs from Tashera. A wife can give you a stare that will burn the side of your head. It was like a magnifying glass with the sun on me. But I wouldn't change a thing."

DMX named his youngest daughter Aaliyah to commemorate the fallen singer, and commented on how her presence is felt stronger now than ever before.

"Her presence will be felt long after all of us are dead," professed DMX. "That's the thing about a great artist. Music is timeless. Music will never die. She'll never die. i think it's only in death do we recognize a person's true presence."

BEANIE SIGEL: " IF I WAS OUT I WOULDN'T HAVE LET ROC-A-FELL BRAKE UP"

Strongest Clue Yet That iPhone 5 Will Drop September 21

TechCrunch is reporting that Verizon store employees have been told they can't take off of work from September 21 through September 30.

It's common practice for retailers who sell the iPhone to prohibit their employees from taking the day off on launch days, so it would be safe to assume that September 21 is the day you'll be able to cop Apple's latest phone.

Apple has strongly hinted through a series of press leaks that the phone will officially be announced on September 12.

George Zimmerman now has the ability to leave Seminole County. A Florida judge decided on Friday that Zimmerman should be able to travel outside the area to meet with lawyers at other offices.

Judge Kenneth Lester will be adjusting Zimmerman's bond to assuage the new ruling, but Zimmerman still cannot go any further than Orange County. He also won't truly be able to travel freely, since he'll be under GPS tracking at all times.

Zimmerman's lawyer, Mike O'Mara also claimed Zimmerman should not be limited to Seminole County for safety reasons. "I don't think he needs to be limited to Central Florida. I don't think he needs to be limited to Florida because of some of the threat and danger that's still out there," said O'Mara.

Beanie Sigel On Taxes "I Don't Have No Uncle Sam"

Beanie Sigel has some very personally driven negative thoughts about the tax laws and system that runs the United States.  He'll be making the transition to prison life in less than three weeks and in a recent interview with RapFix Live, Beans compared his situation with that of the notorious Chicago mobster Al Capone back in the 1920's.

"I was Al Capone.  You can't get me on this, you gonna get me on that, can't get me on that, so you know the Al Capone story -- taxes.  If I fix your roof and you wanna pay me in 20 pounds of bananas, do you think Uncle Sam wants 45 percent of my bananas?  But because you paying me $400,000 in currency he wants a part of that, but my mom don't got no brother named Sam, so I don't have no Uncle Sam."

"Historically Black School Bans Cornrows and Dreads"

A business school dean at Hampton University in Virginia is maintaining a decade old ban on cornrows and dreadlocks, claiming the hairstyles are not "businesslike". The policy is supposed to get students into the habit of having a clean appearance to ensure job placement after school.

"We've been very successful," Hampton Business School Dead Sid Credle told ABC affiliate WVEC. "We've placed more than 99 percent of the students who have graduated from this school, this program, in corporate jobs."

Credle continued to defend the ban saying, "When was it that cornrows and dreadlocks were a part of African-American history? I mean Charles Drew didn't wear it, Muhammad Ali didn't wear it, Martin Luther King didn't wear it."

Despite backlash from students, the business school doesn't plan on making any changes. "I don't think it should matter," said dreadlocked student Uriah Bethea. "It's my life. I should be able to do whatever I want to do."

Lil Wayne: "Flat Out, I Don't Like New York"

Young Money front man Lil Wayne hasn't had the most pleasant of times during his visits to New York City. He was arrested in 2007 and ultimately jailed for gun possession after a show, and earlier this summer he pulled Nicki Minaj from her scheduled performance at Hot 97's Summer Jam.

In a recent interview, Wayne was asked to speak on that particular Summer Jam situation and it was then did Weezy revealed his dislike for the Big Apple.

"Lil Wayne has never been shy about expressing his disdain for New York, but that didn't stop Tunechi from rolling through the Roseland Ballroom to rock the stage with Nicki Minaj. 'Flat out: I don't like New York', Weezy told MTV News on Monday night while in Las Vegas to introduce his new line of sneakers with Supra."

"Wayne's distaste for the Big Apple performances is understandable, considering it was his 2007 gun arrest after a NYC show that led to his 2010 incarceration. 'You're not supposed to leave it at, 'Everything happens for a reason,' Wayne said of how the failed Summer Jam set turned into a blessing in disguise. 'I believe everything happens for a reason and then you make the most of that reason. I think we made the most of it last week.'"

"NYPD Admits Spying On Muslims Was Waste of Time"

The NYPD has been heavily surveilling Muslim individuals in New York City, ever since the tragic attack on 9/11.  The investigation was lead by the Demographics Unit with the assistance of the CIA, and now the NYPD has come forward and admitted that all of their efforts to spy on the Muslim community in NYC have been for nothing.  

The CIA and DU put together a database for years that tracked the activities of Muslim citizens in NYC; where they lived, shopped, prayed, and worked.  Special agents were given missions to infiltrate mosques and Muslim student groups in order to try and find out potential information on any terrorist activity.  However, despite all of the resources, money and time spent on these operations, the NYPD is now confessing that it hasn't accomplished anything.

The racial profiling that has occurred for years led to a representative from the New Jersey chapter of the Muslim Advocates filing a lawsuit against the NYPD.  The president of the Advocates, Farhana Khera, released this statement regarding the lawsuit:

"This lawsuit is about the pervasive and discriminatory policies and practices that Commissioner Ray Kelly and his leadership team have put into motion and that need to stop. Standing up to the largest police department in the country takes courage, and these brave individuals have done so in order to protect America's future."

"Stevie J. Praises Biggie for Never Writing Down Lyrics"

Stevie J. and Joseline Hernandez sat down for an interview with Hip-Hop Wired recently, and Stevie recalled his days working with Bad Boy records producing for Diddy and the Notorious B.I.G.  Stevie praised Biggie for his ability to show heightened levels of focus when recording his music, as he could be engaging in conversations with people, drinking, and just hanging out, while at the same time coming up with creative lyrics to spit in the booth.  He also noted that he never saw Biggie with a pen and paper actually writing down his rhymes. 

"He had his mind focused on his agenda, whatever the song was.  He never had a piece of paper writing it down. He just had his weed in the studio and his liquor flowing and the Branson in the air. He just created from just what he heard. He could have a million conversations going on while the beats was still rolling and then come up with a song. How do you do that when there's like 20 ni--as in the studio talking and you writing to a beat? That's very hard to do, to concentrate. So I never saw an artist with such focus. Supreme focus."
