ASTONISHING THEFT OF $10 MILLION FROM BLACK BUSINESSWOMAN ANNE KIHAGI - HERE'S HER PLIGHT

Nationwide --  Anne Kihagi, an African American businesswoman and real estate investor, has been the victim of judicial injustice in San Francisco. Judge Angela Bradstreet has perpetrated many injustices against Ms. Kihagi, chief among them that she was harassing tenants. Ms. Kihagi, says though, that the tenants were harassing her, even circulating a group email detailing how they planned to harm her and her businesses.

Judge Bradstreet awarded a sum of $140,000 to two female tenants locked in a domestic dispute that moved out. The judge awarded this sum on the basis the couple broke up because they experienced harassment from Ms. Kihagi, even though she never met these tenants. Can you imagine a ruling that a landlord broke up a relationship? Yet the same judge would ignore threats of harm to the landlord from this same couple?

This monetary award is just one of many outrageous rulings by Judge Bradstreet, culminating in over $5 million for the city of San Francisco. Ms. Kihagi brought all of these rulings to the Court of Appeals; however, none of them were overturned as the higher court does not evaluate ruling on facts, even when the facts are unsupported.

EXPERT ACCOUNTANT  DR. CURTIS WEBLEY HAILED A HERO FOR SETTLING HIS CLIENT'S $500K IRS DEBT FOR JUST $12K

Nationwide --  Chicago businessman, Dr. Curtis Webley, is being hailed a hero by locals who have had insurmountable income tax problems with the Internal Revenue Service. Quite recently, Dr. Webley challenged the IRS after they demanded over $500,000 from one of his clients. He settled the case for under $12,000.

"My wife and I were flabbergasted with how meticulous he is," said one client. "We know he is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) but we really didn't know what that meant and what he actually does. We did not know that qualification matters when it comes to taxation until we made an appointment, visited with him, and saw the many college degrees on the wall behind him. We have been to at least five of the biggest tax preparation firms, and even those so-called experts who advertised on radios and television, for help.


They talked a good game, charged exorbitant fees and nothing was done to alleviate our tax burden. It was out of desperation that we turned to Dr. Webley for help even though we have known him for years and, I must admit, have never supported his business. He did not turn us away but listened attentively to our problems, scrolled through our documents, and offered different approaches and solutions to mitigate our tax problems. My wife and I were so impressed with his knowledge that I began to question him, wondering if he really knows what he was talking about, or he was just telling us what he thought we wanted to hear like the rest of professionals we had been to before."

MEET THE AFRICAN AMERICAN DRAG RACER MAKING HISTORY -- AND HE ONLY HAS ONE ARM!

Nationwide --  In case you haven't heard, Al Roberson, known on the racetrack as "Al Boogie," is a legendary, African American, grudge drag racer. In fact, he has stockpiled more wins in the 'no-time' category than any other racer in history!

This summer, Al "Boogie" Roberson and his fearsome team, The Southern Assassins, take to the tracks again, unleashing their world-famous, gluttonous beast of a car, Honcho the Camaro.

Grudge drag racing attracts thousands every weekend all over the United States and world, featuring cars that look like they want to eat you but none, it seems, are as strong and fast as Al Boogie's Honcho.


Sitting in his garage (at an undisclosed location for security reasons), Al Boogie is leaning on Honcho while it is on Pro Jacks, in jeans and a t-shirt, sipping casually on a beer; seemingly unaware that he's turned grudge racing on its head. The kicker? He drives with only one arm! And yet, he's the winningest racer in the sport, having lost only ten races since the early 1990's.
