The man behind the philosophy he called “Prosperity Now” died after suffering a stroke in Los Angeles, this past July. I wonder if the reverend is seeing green now.
Rev. Frederick J. Eikernkoetter II, more commonly known as Reverend Ike spread his message of material prosperity to millions of followers nationwide, over four-decades.
Reverend Ike publicly shot down Saint Paul’s philosophy of money being the root of all evil, and reasoned that one’s lack of money is what he believed sparks that evil root. “Close your eyes and see green,” preached Reverend Ike. “Money up to your armpits, a roomful of money and there you are, just tossing around in it like a swimming pool.”
As a result of his sermons, Reverend Ike was the one who saw green…lots of it. He generated millions of dollars in cash donations from his followers. (more…)
CNN is reporting that Mike Tyson was arrested today at LAX. He was departing Los Angeles for an unknown destination when the incident occurred. Tyson was charged with a misdemeanor battery after getting into a tussle with a celebrity photographer who was photographing him at the airport.
It’s been reported Tyson landed one punch putting the pap on the floor and later taken to the hospital with minor head injuries. Tyson apparently pressed battery charges against the pap and both were held under citizens arrest until police arrived.
Clay Tepel knew there were risks to setting up a medical marijuana shop: it could lose money, be robbed or be raided by authorities.
Still, he wasn’t expecting the phone call one August day when a voice said the police were outside and he needed to open up or they would bust down the door. His first thought, that it was a joke, turned to terror when he opened the door.
Heavily armed officers in helmets, bulletproof vests and, oddly enough, Bermuda shorts stormed his store, handcuffed him, disabled security cameras and seized his drugs before taking him to jail. When he asked why his shop was invaded, an officer responded, “We’re closing them all down.”
Those words could prove prescient after Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley said last week he wants to shutter clinics that sell pot for profit. Cooley’s plan is the latest salvo in a prolonged conflict in California over whether medical marijuana is truly having its intended effect or is being abused by the larger population. (more…)
Soulja Boy moved to Los Angeles from Atlanta and that’s a big move because things out here in Los Angeles are far more expensive than Atlanta. Maybe Soulja Boy was unaware of this before his big move to the city of Angeles. In other words L.A. will eat your money up…
Soulja Boy is now feeling the effect of Tinseltown that’s why he hasn’t paid his rent for 2-months dude is $9,376.10 behind rent and he better pay it because the landlord is talking eviction. I suggest Soulja Boy do what every jack-ass has to do in Tinseltown when they strapped for cash… (more…)
A mother is stricken with grief after her teenage boy was bludgeoned to death with a board, by a group of teens.
“It’s hard,” says Anjanette Albert. “Ya hear about that happening to other people’s kids, and never think that’s something that will happen to yours.”
The senseless beating happened just outside of a Chicago community center, Thursday. Now, 16-year-old honor student, Darien Albert is dead. He was reported to be kicked several times while he was down, and left to die on the street. Amateur video shows well over a dozen African American boys circle the violent beating, and not even one of them tried to help the targeted teen. Instead, witnesses of the murder cheered on the victim’s attackers. One of those witnesses is heard saying, “Damn!” – after Albert took a final deadly blow to his head.
A pair of rival gangs are said to responsible for the mayhem leading to the murder of the now deceased Chicago teen.
I’m sad to say that this is yet another senseless prime example of what has become of our kids. With this kind of ludicrous behavior going down across the country, America’s children aren’t even safe at school – a place where they’re meant to learn, not fight. Instead of bearing books, many ’students’ are bearing weapons while going to class.
This forces me to ask the question – WHY? What is causing these teens to behave like this? Is bad parenting to blame? Are today’s top tunes sparking such violence into the souls of America’s kids that they turn from Jekyell into Hyde? Or, simply put – Has society become UNGODLY?
Chinese philosopher and reformer, Confucius says, “Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star.”
Many of today’s adults of tomorrow have no substance. Know why? Because they’re making idols of dumb professional athletes, foolish materialistic rappers, and bimbo runway models. Black kids living in this generation have no respectful heroes to look up to. We have Lil Kim trying so hard to be white it’s fucking disgusting, and Beyonce ain’t no better she can’t wait to dye her hair blonde. Can she? (more…)
Ain’t nothing like the original gangsta music, and that also applies to Miss. Mary Jane. Know why? Because, “Classic OG Kush” is a hybrid (meaning it’s a mixed strain of indica/sativa), and this bud sparked the flame of creative thinking amongst my colleagues.
My graphic designer became so enthralled with his — taking the projects to the next level, after I gave him some of the CLASSIC OG to smoke. My move was calculated as I rolled a joint up for dude… Know why? Because I’m all about productivity mane…
This is why you need Ronald Richards to handle your problems no matter what they are. Jacky doesn’t call him “THE CLEANER” for no reason. No one is too big to be brought down to their knees by Ron!
BH CONSTRUCTION JOE FRANCIS LAWSUIT SETTLED
Just when I thought I was going to have some fun, Joe Francis settled his lawsuit with my client, BH Construction. I can only say that the matter has been settled to the parties satisfaction. This does not mean that my firm cannot file suit for the numerous other Joe Francis or Girls Gone Wild claims out there. Just that this one, for Beverly Hills’ best contractor, is over.
If you were here in California back in 1996 and you voted on Prop. 215 (legalization of medical marijuana) you’ve had a few years to see dispensaries come and go. Some have been great, some have been bullshit. Recently there was in influx of new shops opening up due to some legal loopholes. It seemed like everyone that wanted to open a shop could and did.
Now where there used to be one of Jacky’s favorite dispensaries there was now 4. How could anyone compete? Things were looking shaky for a while but eventually the city revoked alot of the newer licenses.
After some disappointments and more searching I’m happy to report I’ve found HSK’s new favorite collective in town!
Sunset Organic is run by cool down to earth people that know their product and how to make people comfortable while they’re there. There’s no cops parked out front all the time like some places either! Know why? The guys that own it are European mane!
