Mail carrier accused of swiping thousands in social services checks
A Brooklyn postal worker and three accomplices targeted the city’s neediest — plucking social services checks from the mail.
Making matters worse, since-canned letter carrier Vanessa Bandie, 29, and her co-defendants allegedly carried out the scam during the holiday season — from Oct. 25, 2016 to Dec. 27, 2016 — stealing nearly $30,000 in benefits checks from 66 people, according to Brooklyn prosecutors.
The group even allegedly swiped nearly $4,000 from residents of a homeless shelter, prosecutors said.
Bandie, whose route was in East New York, was approached by James Black and Lauren Johnson with the proposition to find mail with checks inside to later cash. Bandie, who would get paid from the proceeds, agreed to help them, prosecutors said.
Then the trio brought the checks to a Pay-O-Matic check-cashing business on Linden Blvd. where employee Paul Daniels would cash them and take a cut, prosecutors said.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said Monday that the group, “stole from the most vulnerable among us, including residents of homeless shelters. We will now seek to hold them accountable.”
They were charged with grand larceny, identity theft and related charges and pleaded not guilty in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
Bandie and Daniels were released on their own recognizance while Black — who was already in jail on a separate matter — was held on $25,000 bail. Johnson was held on $1,000 bail.
Bandie stopped showing up to work in 2017 and was officially fired in Aug. 2018, according to a law enforcement source.
She is due back in court on Dec. 5 while the others are due back on Nov. 28.
Bandie’s lawyer, Gary Farrell, said, “She has no prior contact with the criminal justice system and is a hard-working single mother.”
A lawyer for Black did not immediately return requests for comment. Johnson’s lawyer declined to comment and Daniels’ lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment.

Kanye West Stirs More Outrage With 13th Amendment, Slavery Tweets
Fresh off of stirring outrage with his “Saturday Night Live” speech about President Donald Trump after the show went off the air this weekend, rapper Kanye West took to social media to offer his thoughts about the 13th Amendment.
In a tweet which showed him appearing to be on a private plane while wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap, West wrote, “This represents good and America becoming whole again.”
“We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs,” West tweeted. “We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love.”
The 13th Amendment was ratified in 1865 and abolished slavery.
Later Ye returned to twitter with a clarification.
“The 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise,” he tweeted. “Meaning it never ended. We are the solution that heals.”
Naturally, Twitter exploded with many people offering the same sentiment: “What the hell are you talking about?”
A few fellow celebs also took West to task.
“There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue,” actor Chris Evans wrote while retweeting the controversial rapper. “The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying.”
Singer Lana Del Rey responded in the comments on West’s official Instagram account.
“Trump becoming our president was a loss for the country but your support of him is a loss for the culture,” she wrote. “I can only assume you relate to his personality on some level. Delusions of Grandeur, extreme issues of narcissism – none of which would be a talking point if we weren’t speaking about the man leading our country.”
“If you think it’s alright to support someone who believes it’s OK to grab a woman by the p**** just because he’s famous-then you need an intervention as much as he does – something so many narcissists will never get because there just isn’t enough help for the issue,” she added.
Producer Swizz Beatz addressed West’s claim of being bullied backstage at “SNL” for wearing the MAGA hat. Beatz said he and West had just talked about the rapper’s political fashion statement.
The producer took the position that fans rightfully felt a certain way about West’s support of Trump.
“Ain’t nobody bullying you, we love you,” Swizz Beatz said. “But you gotta stop that s***, that s*** ain’t right.”
West has insisted in the past that he is merely trying to be a champion for free thinking.
In August, West attempted to make amends for saying slavery was “a choice” earlier in the summer.
Kanye West apologizes for how slavery comment ‘made people feel’
“I don’t know if I properly apologized for how that slave comment made people feel,” West told Chicago’s WGCI-FM during an interview. “So I want to take this moment right now to say … I’m sorry for people who felt let down by that moment.”

LaMelo Ball slaps rival and starts huge on-court fight
Another Ball, another international incident.
At least this time it happened on the court.
LaMelo Ball, the youngest of the three Ball brothers, got into a skirmish during his Junior Basketball Association Team USA squad’s international tour in Lithuania on Monday. In a game against BC Dzukjia, LaMelo lost the ball out of bounds on the baseline. His opponent, Mindaugas Susinskas, tapped the back of his head. LaMelo, the younger brother of Lakers point guard Lonzo, responded by slapping him in the face, leading to a fight between the two teams and an ejection for LaMelo.
The middle brother, LiAngelo, you may remember for getting in trouble in China for shoplifting along with two other UCLA teammates, and his father, big-talking LaVar, pulling him out of school after he was given an indefinite suspension. The two played in Lithuania last year with BC Prienu Vytautas, but didn’t finish the season there.
LaMelo should be beginning his senior year of high school as one of the nation’s most prized recruits. Instead, he’s cashing paychecks from his father’s new professional league and getting into fights overseas.

McDonald’s under investigation after police officer given drink with peroxide-based cleaner
Police have launched an investigation into a McDonald’s restaurant in Iola, Kansas after an Allen County Sheriff’s Office deputy was given a drink containing a peroxide-based cleaner.
Trevor J Hockaday, a 22-year-old McDonald’s employee, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery against a police officer after his coworkers told investigators he added “four little squirts” of a peroxide-based cleaner to the deputy’s drink order last month. Mr Hockaday, who may face felony charges, has reportedly been suspended as McDonald’s conducts its own investigation into the matter, according to a spokesperson.
Allen County Sheriff Bryan Murphy said the incident has shaken officers throughout the small Kansas city, who now have “concern” over whether their food is safe.
“In today’s day and age, not only us in law enforcement but citizens as a whole, there’s enough going on out there that we have to worry about,” the sheriff told the Wichita Eagle. “Now my guys are cautious about going through that drive through”.
“We all chose this line of work to protect and serve,” Mr Murphy continued. “Now my guys have that concern of – is my food safe?”
In a statement, the owner of the Iola McDonald’s Glen Nichols expressed regret over the allegations against Mr Hockaday, who he described as a “former crew member,” and said food safety was a top priority for the local eatery.
“In our restaurants, nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our customers,” he said. “We are very disappointed by the allegations made regarding the behaviour of one of our former crew members. This kind of behaviour goes against our food safety standards and is not tolerated. Our organisation will take all appropriate measures to gather facts and will work closely with authorities in their investigation.”
At first, the deputy was not immediately aware he had allegedly been provided a contaminated drink, which police said was either a cola or an iced tea. The deputy reportedly experienced “flu-like symptoms” but was not forced to take any time off work.
“He thought he caught the bug,” Mr Murphy said, “but we found out two weeks later when an employee came forward and told the police department.”

Amber Rose Doubles Down On Wishing Bill Cosby Death And Reveals She Was Sexually Assaulted By Someone Famous In Another Instagram Rant
Opinions are split when it comes to Bill Cosby’s recent sentencing. Amber Rose was one of the first celebrities to publicly celebrate the prison sentence to which she received a lot of backlash for doing so.
The model took to Instagram to say that she hoped that the comedian would die while serving his time behind bars.
Some fans felt that Rose was taking it too far by wishing death on someone. Her post was deleted but she came back on the morning of September 30 to double down on what she said.
The mom posted a photo that read: ‘So if your momma came to you and said “this guy raped me 36 years ago’ would you be asking for proof?”
She accompanied the picture with a caption that read: “No you wouldn’t. So stfu. Everyone said ‘Awwww poor Bill Cosby, he’s gonna die in the first 2 years of his sentence’ But I said ‘I hope he serves the full 10 years then dies’ I’m wrong and wishing death on him? FOH Stand up for a Rapist if y’all want to. I said what the f*** I said PS the only reason s*** was deleted on the last Bill Cosby post is cuz you can’t put our “pres” name and “die” in the same caption or FB will f*** ur algorithm up and I’ll be d***** if I let two sexual predators f*** with my money.”
After someone commented that she should ‘keep the same energy with Harvey Weinstein,’ she reiterated that she feels the same way about all rapists and revealed that she was sexually assaulted by someone famous but is scared to name who it was because she doesn’t want her family to be harassed.
Amber is currently preparing for her annual Slutwalk.

‘Black Panther’ Theory Suggests Killmonger May Have a Son
At the end of Black Panther, T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Shuri (Letitia Wright) go to Oakland, California where they establish the first-ever Wakandan outreach center at the building where Killmonger’s father N’Jobu (Sterling K. Brown) died at King T’Chaka’s (John Kani) hand for his betrayal of Wakanda by working with Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) to steal vibranium. After revealing the presence of his Royal Talon Flyer to some kids playing basketball in the parking lot of the building, one boy hangs behind and asks T’Challa who he is. It’s this kid who some fans think might be Killmonger’s son.
In general, it’s not an impossible concept. While Killmonger was a very focused young man — Everett Ross explains that he graduated from Annapolis at 19 before going on to MIT and becoming a Navy SEAL — he could have had a relationship in his youth that led to him having a son. As Killmonger has proven himself to be a very intense individual, it’s even possible that the child’s mother wouldn’t have told him leading to the son growing up without his father’s presence in his life as one could argue that Killmonger wouldn’t leave his own son without a father the way he was.
It’s an idea that works with the film visually as well. When we first meet Killmonger, it’s as a child named Erik playing basketball outside in the same parking lot noticing the presence of a similar Royal Talon Flyer before running inside to find his father’s body. The actor playing the boy who speaks with T’Challa even looks a little bit like N’Jobu with a similar physical carriage and bearing to Killmonger’s.
If Killmonger did have an unknown son, it could set up for future conflict within the world of Black Panther. Given that one of the things that drove Killmonger was the poverty and injustice endured by black people not just in his Oakland neighborhood but the world at large, if the son grew up in similar circumstances — particularly if he heard stories of his absent father’s life — he may also harbor a similar rage towards Wakanda even with their efforts to open up to the world. This is especially true considering that the state of the world and Wakanda post-Avengers: Infinity War is very different than it was at the end of Black Panther.
Captain Marvel is the next movie on the Marvel Studios slate and that debuts on March 8, 2019 followed by the fourth Avengers movie on May 3, 2019. Spider-Man: Far From Home is scheduled for release on July 5, 2019.

Lana Del Rey confronts Kanye: “Your support of [Trump] is a loss for the culture”
Del Rey played Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West’s wedding
Kanye’s latest bit of ill-informed nonsense has drawn the ire of SNL, Captain America’s Chris Evans, and now Lana Del Rey.
In defending his decision to wear a MAGA hat on SNL, Kanye wrote: “This represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs.” He went on to advocate for the abolishment of the 13th amendment — a.k.a. the amendment that ended slavery.
Del Rey, who played Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West’s wedding, took Kanye to task in the comments’ section of a recent Instagram post. “Trump becoming our president was a loss for our country but your support of him is a loss for the culture,” Del Rey wrote.
“I can only assume you relate to his personality on some level,” she added. “Delusions of Grandeur, extreme issues with narcissism — none of which would be a talking point if we weren’t speaking about the man leading our country.”
“If you think it’s alright to support someone who believe it’s OK to grab a woman by the pussy just because he’s famous — then you need an intervention as much as he does — something so many narcissists will never get because there just isn’t enough help for the issue,” Del Rey concluded.
Previously, Del Rey encouraged her fans to cast a witch spell on Trump. If Kanye isn’t careful, he himself could be subjected to Del Rey’s black magic.
