Texas resident and construction company owner Benny Melendez says he’s regretting his decision to vote for President Trump in 2024, in part because of ICE’s deportation efforts.
“He said he was going to go and get all the criminals,” Melendez told CBS News’ @camiloreports. “Our workers are not the criminals.”
Melendez says many of his workers are now scared to show up to work, fearing arrest and deportation.
"JAY-Z DON'T LIKE CHRIS BROWN, DRAKE OR KANYE THAT'S WHY HE'S DOING THE SUPERBOWL" 😳
Mase isn't one to hold his tongue and on the 'It Is What It Is' podcast with Cam'ron he talked about Jay-Z headlining the NFL Superbowl Halftime show.
Mase went over the potential better artists that could've headlined like Drake Chris Brown or Kanye West but because Jay doesn't like them they aren't considered for the show.
"Who could've done it? Kanye? Drake? Chris Brown? people he don't like. Hov we onto you Hov, you need more people Hov that's what you told me. But I dig it man it's his show, he gets to pick himself he sat with himself and told his self we need to do this show."
Is Mase telling the truth?
An American Airlines flight attendant who used her travel benefits to fly to a 75-year-old Palm Coast woman’s home as part of a sweepstakes scam is in custody after a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office investigation led to her arrest in Miami.
Late Friday evening, U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested Destiny Blake, 24, of Brooklyn, New York, on a Flagler County warrant as she arrived at Miami International Airport on an international flight.
The scam started in November 2025 with a phone call. The caller, who claimed to be with Publishers Clearing House, told the victim she had won. To collect her “winnings,” the victim was instructed to mail a $500 gift card to “Destiny Blake” at a Brooklyn address, which she did.
During this time, the victim was also locked out of her own email account. The password had been changed and the account switched to look-a-like address she never created.
Between Nov. 15 and Nov. 19, 2025, the victim withdrew more than $14,000 from her bank. Blake received $14,220 in cash and Zelle payments.
On Nov. 18, Blake flew from New York to Daytona Beach as a standby passenger using her flight attendant benefits and then took an Uber to a hotel on State Road 100 in Palm Coast. The next morning, an Uber dropped Blake off at the victim’s home just before 11 a.m. Fifteen minutes later, another Uber picked her up and took her back to the Daytona Beach airport. Before she flew home, purchases were made on the victim’s credit card at the Daytona Beach and Charlotte airports.
Detectives determined Blake had been issued her own Apple Card as an authorized user on the victim’s account. A family member later found a note in the victim’s home with instructions to call the card company and tell them Blake was her granddaughter and was authorized to use the card.
Between Nov. 16 and Dec. 11, 2025, 88 charges totaling $10,590.30 were charged to the victim’s credit cards. They included a $1,740.91 eBay order shipped to Blake’s Brooklyn address, $1,523.16 spent on Apple products and more than $1,300 spent at T-Mobile, Ugg, a Brooklyn hair salon, and dozens of Uber rides and Uber Eats orders. One Uber ride was paid in Jamaican dollars in Kingston, two days after Blake flew there while working for American Airlines.
The online orders were done using Blake’s own name, email address and phone number. Detectives obtained surveillance video of Blake using the victim’s card at a Queens supermarket. Detectives also determined that Blake’s phone was in the area of the stores on the dates of the transactions.
In total, the victim lost approximately $25,310. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Blake on Oct. 13, 2026 for the thefts and fraudulent charges.
“Most flight attendants use their benefits to see the world. Blake used her’s to further a scam against a senior resident, live a lavish lifestyle using stolen bank cards and thinking she could get away with it,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “Her wings were clipped by our detectives and with the help of CPB she was arrested. Her next trip? Flagler County to be held accountable for her crimes.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested Blake for organized scheme to defraud over $20,000 from a victim 65 or older, fraudulent use of personal identification information of a person 60 or older, and grand theft over $20,000. She was transported to the Miami-Dade County jail, where she was later released on a $30,000 bond.

How do Haitians not have money when they are returned to Haiti since they all claimed they are so hard-working in the United States. How is Haiti overwhelmed by bringing Haitians back to Haiti? Community unity should help, right?

Chris Rock says he’s too rich and too fit to be chasing women his own age.
He says he’s looking to date women 10–15 years younger than him, adding, “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
He also made it clear he didn’t get rich and stay in shape just to talk about Anita Baker—he’s trying to fuck Doja Cat.

🚨NO ARREST: A Black FedEx driver says this white business owner assaulted him and threatened to shoot him in the FACE.
On camera, the driver says: "That's why you had to threaten with a gun."
His answer: "Yup."
LeRoy Vann says he was doing a routine pickup on Orange Avenue in Tallahassee during FAMU's homecoming. As he walked out with a case already scanned into FedEx's system, he says the owner chased him down, grabbed it, headbutted him, and said he'd get his "pistol."
Police showed up, K-9 unit and all. A witness told them she saw everything. Vann asked to press charges. Police said they had to "do an investigation."
Then, Vann says, an officer told him the owner "just didn't like the way you picked up the case."
"If that was me doing that to him, I would have been in handcuffs."
Is he right?
