Nafissatou Diallo DS accuser is scamming for out-of-court settlement

This reason this con artist/maid/hooker is going on a media offensive is she and her lawyer are trying to put pressure on DSK to settle for some cash to go away.

Make no mistake, it’s all about cash!

New York Post

Who's that lady?

Nafissatou Diallo was ushered into Brooklyn's Christian Cultural Center yesterday aboard patent-leather pumps that made the 5-foot-10 former hotel maid and current sex accuser tower over the two dozen supporters who stood guard, including church pastors and a prominent member of the New Black Panther Party.

She was unrecognizable.

Gone were the baggy, gray slacks and lime-green, shapeless blouse she wore in that ill-advised interview on ABC. Gone was the lifeless hair.
Who cares if the Manhattan district attorney no longer believes in her? In the 24 hours before staging a press conference/rally/image makeover, Diallo, who accuses powerful French guy Dominique Strauss-Kahn of trying to rape her, underwent a glam, head-to-toe makeover -- even as her lawyer attempted to remake the case of rape into a case of race.

FAMILY SUFFOCATED AME DEAL, 10, FOR TAKING POPSICLE

AME

FAMILY

THE TWISTED relatives of a ten-year-old locked her into a storage bin where she suffocated to death, because she stole a popsicle, cops say.
Ame Deal, was found dead after being padlocked into a storage container and being forced to spend the night into it.
Disgusted cops said the child was 4 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed just 59 pounds, while her tight fighting prison was less than 3 feet long, 14 inches wide and about a foot deep.
Phoenix Police Spokesman, Sergeant Trent Crump said: "This case has turned the stomachs of some of most seasoned detectives. This child died at the hands of those who were supposed to love and care for her."
Cops arrested the girl's elder cousin and her husband, Samantha and John Allen, both 23, on suspicion of first-degree murder after they confessed to locking the child in the storage container.

The girl's aunt and legal guardian, Cynthia Stoltzmann, and grandmoth Judith Deal, 62, were also  arrested on suspicion of child abuse and kidnapping Reuters reports.
Police said Stoltzmann, 44, had left the girl in the care of her daughter and son-in-law while she was out of the home.
But both the aunt and grandmother were accused of having abused the child in the past by confining her to the same hinged, plastic storage bin.
The Allens were ordered held in lieu of $1 million cash bond each, while bond was set at $500,000 each for Stoltzmann and her mother during an initial court appearance on Thursday. 

John Boehner's idiotic Debt Ceiling Bill suffers setback

I’ve been saying for weeks that the debt ceiling should not be raised-period.

If a person was a million dollars in debt, spends more money a year that he takes in, then says he’s going to cut 500,000, but not in one year, rather in 10 years as he continues to spend more as his income, a rationale assessment would be that the person is stupid.

This is exactly John Boehner’s plan that cuts spending over ten years as the country continues to spend more than it takes in year after year.

And we’re supposed to accept this as solving our financial problems? It doesn’t at all.

The Huffington Post

A Republican plan that would have hiked the nation's debt ceiling for only six months and left the country's spending captive to a "Super Congress" failed to advance in the House Thursday night, with Democrats and Tea Party-backed Republicans opposing the plan.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) had initially scheduled a 6 p.m. vote on his measure which, in addition to raising the debt ceiling, would have cut $915 billion in spending and set up a 12-legislator commission to compel another $1.8 trillion in reductions over 10 years. The vote was then postponed to later Thursday night, but House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced just before 10:30 p.m. that a vote would not occur until the following morning at least.

Boehner had already gone back and restructured his plan, after the Congressional Budget Office revealed Tuesday that it contained only $850 billion in cuts -- less than the plan put forth by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
But even after his plan was re-scored -- and he spent more than a day leaning on reluctant members -- Boehner was short at least three votes, sources said.

The Hill reported that the $17 billion in funding for Pell grants contained in the bill, added in part to lure some Democrats, was a major stumbling block for some members. And many Tea Party-backed Republican freshmen oppose any increase in the debt ceiling whatsoever.

Boehner and his leadership team worked for hours, but they were unable to salvage the bill and secure the votes, marking a stunning failure for a party leader on a crucial piece of legislation.

It was unclear if Boehner would try to bring the bill up again, or if the way was now clear for Reid to advance his plan, which would cut $2.2 trillion over ten years and raise the debt ceiling enough to last into 2013.

Both political parties are playing the people for suckers! Boehner needs to be kicked to the curb! We need cuts in spending, not a sham.

TEEN HOOPS FAKE GUERDWICH MORTIMER GETS THREE

WHO ARE YOU?

TO his pals he was 16-year-old hoops star called Jerry Joseph, who had been orphaned in the Haiti hurricane - but the reality was somewhat different.  
He was in fact 23-year-old Guerdwich Montimer, who is now going to prison, instead of taking up a college basketball career.
In a bizarre story, in which he took in everyone he met in Odessa, TX, including his coach at Permian High School, Danny Wright, who eventually took him to his family home in and looked after him.
He told people that he had herded goats on the Caribbean island, according to the Odessa American.
But his lie was eventually unraveled after he was spotted by a former coach in Florida, at a tournament.
Quite why he left the Sunshine State is unclear, but he landed himself in a whole lot of trouble in Texas, especially, after it emerged that, he had been doing more than seeing, some of the high school girls.
Prosecutor Bobby Bland says Montimer will have to register as a sex offender as well
He said in a release: “In this case the victim specifically requested that we make this offer.  Due to the high profile of this case, the victim has been through quite an ordeal, and requests the media respect her privacy.
"In this case justice was done, because any time Guerdwich Montimere goes anywhere else, he will have to register with the police and tell them ‘I am Guerdwich Montimere, I am in your city, and I am a convicted sex offender.’  He will never be able to do this again.”
After pleading guilty Wednesday to two counts of sexual assault of a child and three counts of tampering with government records, Mortimer was sentenced to three-years.

JEOPARDY FOR BURGLAR CHASED ALEX TREBEK

TREBEK

IT was double jeopardy for both a hotel burglar and game show host Alex Trebek, Wednesday when the game show host chased down a burglar, but ruptured his Achilles tendon in the process. 
The 71-year-old, who has presented 'Jeopardy' for over 25-years said he and his wife were sleeping when the thief broke into his San Francisco room and made off with cash, a bracelet and other valuables.   
Later as he hosted the National Geographic World Championship at Google headquarters in Mountain View he told the crowd: "At 2:30 yesterday morning, chasing a burglar down the hall. My Achilles tendon ruptured and I fell in an ignominious heap to the carpeting, bruising my other leg in the process."
San Francisco police Lt. Troy Dangerfield says 56-year-old old Lucinda Moyers was caught by a security guard at the hotel and arrested on suspicion of felony burglary and receiving stolen property.

Among the items stolen was one with sentimental value - a bracelet.
According to his mom, she gave her son the bracelet 20 years ago and he's been wearing it on the show every day since.
The cash and bracelet haven't been found but other items were recovered.
Dangerfield says officers found several items near the hotel ice machine.
Trebek is scheduled for surgery on Friday and is expected to be in a cast for six weeks.
