Husband and Stepdaughter Arrested for Murder of Baltimore Woman

Previously reported as a murder perpetrated by a homeless man, the husband and stepdaughter of Jacquelyn Smith have been arrested in connection to her death.
Back in December, Baltimore Police investigators were searching for an unknown homeless assailant who had allegedly stabbed Jacquelyn while she was donating money from her vehicle. Now, Keith Smith and Valeria Smith, the husband and stepdaughter who were in the vehicle at the time, have been arrested on murder charges.
Their initial statement to police said a woman carrying a baby swaddled in a blanket was standing along the side of the road. She was holding a sign that encouraged passersby to donate, helping her to feed her child. That’s when Jacquelyn pulled over and rolled down the window to hand the woman $10. During her act of kindness, she was attacked by a nearby man who stabbed the victim multiple times before running away. However, Baltimore PD’s concluded investigation has uncovered the truth, revealing Keith and Valeria were co-conspirators in Jacquelyn’s death.
Keith and Valeria Smith were arrested near the U.S. – Mexico border while attempting to flee justice. Apprehended by officials in Harlingen, Texas, the father-daughter duo faces first-degree murder charges. At this time, Baltimore police have yet to confirm how the two were involved.

Social media star Rolling Ray underwent surgery Tuesday morning to treat serious burns on his body after his terrible wig accident last week.
In a series of IG stories, he let his audience follow along as he prepped for surgery.
Last week Rolling Ray announced he was hospitalized after his wig caught on fire! During a January 13 Instagram Live session hosted straight from his hospital bedside, he showed his severely burnt and damaged face telling viewers his âwhole skin, legs, arms, feet, and everythingâ were burned.

In a more recent Live, Ray explained the incident that led to his whole wig catching on fire: an unfortunate smoking accident. âIt just, like, lit on fire when I tried to light the cigarette,â he recounted. âSo I get to trying to snatch the wig off. B***h, the fire goes to my f*****g shirt, to my feet, to my legs, to my back. Itâs a fire everywhere, itâs a fire in the whole room.â

Of course the internet trolled him in a disgusting display of ableism and heartlessness. Comments like âRolling Ray should have stopped, dropped, and rolledâ and âkarmaâs a b***hâ had social media conflicted in its feelings about his accident. His sensation comes from his harsh and, often, below-the-belt reads (just last month he told Yung Miami to âdig (sic) upâ her dead baby father. However, the criticism didnât stop him from responding on Twitter.
I miss yâall đ„ș! See yâall soon, if this what Karma feels like she shouldâve came harder because Iâm alive while others still dead. God loves me đ! Imma bounce back

Rolling Ray might be problematic as all get-out, but we do not tolerate ableism here. We wish him well as he heals.

Mob of Trump Supporters Storm U.S. Capitol, Sending Congress Into Lockdown
Published

On Wednesday afternoon an angry mob of Trump supporters, white supremacists, and what this website is calling âterroristsâ stormed the United States Capitol as members of Congress were in session.
Earlier in the day, President Trump spoke to a crowd of several thousand at an event in Washington, D.C. called the âSave America March.â As you know, since he lost the November 2020 election to Joe Biden, he has vigorously promoted various unfounded theories and conspiracies that the election was rigged and somehow stolen from him. Without a single shred of evidence to back up his claim, he rambled on in front of his supporters for over an hour, charging that he lost due to widespread voter fraud. At one point, he told the crowd:
âNow it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy⊠I think right here weâre going to walk down to the Capitol and weâre going to cheer on our brave senators and our congressmen and women, and weâre probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because youâll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.â
Shortly after the event concluded, videos flooded the internet of the mob not only attacking police, but also walking past multiple police barricades – sometimes at the invitation of police. They eventually scaled walls, smashed windows, and broke down doors as they raided the Capitol Complex. Meanwhile, Congress recessed and went into Shortly after the event concluded, videos flooded the internet of the mob not only attacking police, but also walking past multiple police barricades – sometimes at the invitation of police. They eventually scaled walls, smashed windows, and broke down doors as they raided the Capitol Complex. Meanwhile, Congress recessed, going into an immediate lockdown and interrupting their largely procedural vote to certify the electoral results of the 2020 presidential election.

Many Twitter users were quick to point out the glaring disparity in law enforcementâs treatment of these terrorists with their treatment of Black Lives Matter protesters last summer. As youâll recall, Trump ordered police to use tear gas and rubber bullets when clearing a crowd outside the White House for a photo op with an upside down Bible.
Why yâall keep asking where the police at? Yâall ask where Mileyâs at when Hannahâs on stage?

For over 4 hours, the terrorists were allowed to roam freely throughout government halls. Many proudly posed for pictures inside congressional offices, on the floors of Congress, and throughout the halls. In one video, a police officer inside a building gave a thumbs up as he posed for a selfie with a terrorist. The scenes that came out of this insurrection were jarring for many.

For over two hours following the terroristsâ rushing of the Capitol, President Trump was completely silent on the matter. As time continued to pass, it became apparent that he would not make any serious attempts to quell the violence unfolding in his own backyard. All Americans got was a now-deleted video posted to social media in which Trump told the mob, âI know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us⊠It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it – especially the other side. But you have to go home now⊠We love you. Youâre very special.â
Of course the President of the United States calling armed insurrectionists âvery specialâ lit people up. Todayâs events were the last straw for many; even with only two weeks left in office, he still managed to make more enemies than he already had.
When people rioted and looted in Minneapolis after the murder of George Floyd, President Trump said: "When the looting starts, the shooting starts."

By the time police and the National Guard finally responded, the mayor had already put a 6pm curfew in place. Despite multiple law enforcement agencies clearing the Capitol and blocking the area around it, terrorists still hung around the complex well into the evening. It wasnât until 8pm – over 8 hours after the siege began – that Congress was able to return to counting the electoral votes (they didnât finish the count until nearly 4am).
When all was said and done, law enforcement made 52 arrests, safely detonated at least 2 pipe bombs found outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters, arrested a suspect connected to a vehicle found with firearms, ammunition, and explosives, and confirmed 4 terrorists died.

Asian Doll Gets Into It with JT and Megan Thee Stallion

December 21, 2020
Twitter was lit Sunday when Texas rapper Asian Doll got into it with JT and Megan Thee Stallion over her assertions she was left off Megâs track âDo It on the Tip,â which features City Girls – JTâs rap group.
Asian Doll told the world she was originally supposed to be on the song – recorded a verse and everything – but was kicked off at the last minute, replaced by City Girls. In an Instagram Live this past Friday (December 18), the rapper played her unreleased verse on âDo It on the Tipâ as she told viewers she didnât know why it didnât come out or âwhat the f*** Megan was thinking.â

Later, Asian Doll insisted her and Megan were good, tweeting that theyâre still friends. That didnât stop City Girls fans from getting involved, with JT herself commenting, âa real friend is something you b****** really donât know nothing about!â She went on to suggest Asian Doll was lying about her verse originally being on the song.
Apparently, she didnât take these subliminals as shots fired because she appeared to be attempting to calm the flames. âIf Jt ainât say my name then she wasnât talking to me stop being messy cause what I said was between me & Megan !â she said on Twitter. But it didnât take long for her to pick up on the beef and fire back. For much of Sunday, the two went back and forth online, trading shot after shot.

Finally, Megan Thee Stallion chimed in tweeting, âI hate that all of this is getting so blown out of proportion. It was never as deep as the comments made it seem.â Her and Asian Doll briefly exchanged.
