Former LFO Member Brad Fischetti Now a Pro-Life Activist

Image
Fischetti has indeed been doing some pro-life sidewalk counseling at the Orlando Women’s Center abortion clinic in Florida. Here is sampling of Fischetti’s tweets that is so disturbing the pro-abortion community… After I read about Fischetti and perused his tweets last night, I started researching him, because honestly, I’d never heard of LFO. What I learned made me even more curious. Fischetti is now the Director of Contemporary Music and New Media at the Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Celebration, FL. Here’s his hip hop arrangement of “Awesome God,” pretty cool. Thanks to God for His amazing favors, I indeed got to speak with Brad a little while ago, with the help of pro-life activist John Barros .

Dirty Chisme Alert: Diddy In Debt To NYC?

Image
Bad Boy Records CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs reportedly owes nearly $1 million to New York City for illegally plastering promotional posters throughout the city. According to the New York Daily News , Diddy and old school hip-hop head  Doug E. Fresh are among thousands of individuals and companies who collectively owe NYC $1.9 billion. A spokesman for Bad Boy Entertainment, which faces a $996,000 offense, called the bill a "bureaucratic error" which was paid three years ago by a partner company. A city spokesman said lawyers are reviewing the issue. While some of the offenders deny the City's claims, the shocking tally is a sizable chunk of the $4.9 billion shortfall that recently forced NYC to cut funding to schools, day care centers and other treasured services. And that's just delinquent taxes, fines and parking tickets - it doesn't even include the $313 million bill owed for unpaid water debts. Finance Commissioner David Fra...
