Millionaire discovers he married his own granddaughter and still stays with her

A 68-year-old Florida millionaire received a terrible shock after he found out that he had married his own biological granddaughter. The man found out 3 months after marrying his 24-year-old bride as they went through one of his old family photo albums, the Florida Sun Post reported.

The album included photos of the man’s children from his first marriage, from whom he had long been estranged.

His new bride recognised her husband’s oldest son who happens to be her own father.

“When I saw my father in that photo album, I just felt an overwhelming sense of despair,” she told the paper.

The man/husband/grandfather, whose second marriage ended in divorce in 2009 had won several million dollars in a lottery jackpot two years later.

The woman/granddaughter, who had become estranged from her parents after she got pregnant as a teenager, was working as an exotic dancer in Jacksonville when she met her husband/grandfather met through a dating website.

“I just felt strange when I saw her photos on the site,” the man said. “It was like a sense of déjà vu, but at the time I couldn’t figure out why she seemed so familiar.”

After discovering their epic mistake, the couple insisted, however, that they have no plans to divorce.

The husband/Grandfather said:

“If we’d never found out, we would’ve lived our lives happily together, and us being related shouldn’t change that.”

The man added:

“ I’ve already had two failed marriages, and I’m determined not to have a third.”

The wife/granddaughter added:

“Every couple is different and special in their own ways. I feel our bond is so strong that even something like this is not enough to make us give up.”

The couple haven't been named yet.

Trump mum while campaign says he believes Obama born in US

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump himself won't say it, but his campaign is now declaring that the Republican presidential candidate believes now that President Barack Obama was born in the United States. And his campaign is cheering Trump for bringing an end to an "ugly incident" that it blames, without evidence, on Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
For many years, Trump was the most prominent proponent of the "birther" movement, which claimed Obama was born outside the U.S. and thus ineligible to be president — despite the fact that he was born in Hawaii. As recently as Thursday, Trump would not acknowledge Obama's birthplace, declining to address the matter when asked by The Washington Post.
"I'll answer that question at the right time," Trump told the paper. "I just don't want to answer it yet."
want to answer it yet."
Clinton seized on Trump's refusal during a speech Thursday night before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.
"He was asked one more time where was President Obama born and he still wouldn't say Hawaii. He still wouldn't say America," Clinton said. "This man wants to be our next president? When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry?"
The answer to her question came hours later when campaign spokesman Jason Miller issued a statement that suggested the question had been settled five years ago — by Trump.
"In 2011, Mr. Trump was finally able to bring this ugly incident to its conclusion by successfully compelling President Obama to release his birth certificate," Miller said.

"Mr. Trump did a great service to the president and the country by bringing closure to the issue that Hillary Clinton and her team first raised," he added. "Inarguably, Donald J. Trump is a closer. Having successfully obtained President Obama's birth certificate when others could not, Mr. Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United States."
Yet Trump repeatedly stoked the issue in the years since Obama released his birth certificate. In August 2012, he was pushing the issue on Twitter.
"An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud," he wrote.
Trump has said repeatedly during the campaign that he no longer talks about the "birther" issue while refusing to retract his previous comments.
"I don't talk about it because if I talk about that, your whole thing will be about that," he told reporters aboard his plane last week. "So I don't talk about it."
Trump's comments speculating on Obama's birthplace have been seen by many as an attempt to delegitimize the nation's first black president, and have turned off many of the African American voters he is now courting in his bid for the White House.
Miller's claim that Clinton launched the birther movement during her unsuccessful primary run against Obama in 2008 is unsubstantiated and long denied by Clinton. On Twitter, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon did not address that allegation, but said that acceptance that Obama was born in the U.S. comes up short."Trump needs to say it himself. On camera. And admit he was wrong for trying to delegitimize the country's first African-American president," Fallon wrote.
Indeed, Trump himself has said that his aides shouldn't be trusted to speak on his behalf.
"Don't believe the biased and phony media quoting people who work for my campaign," he tweeted in May. "The only quote that matters is a quote from me!"

Chris Brown Responds to Report That Claims He Refused to Stand for National Anthem

Chris Brown, like many others, has shown his support for Colin Kaepernick and his decision to kneel during the National Anthem. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the 27-year-old R&B singer commended the quarterback for his stance as well as being an example for the rest of the country. But has Brown taken his support one step further by joining in on the protests? According to TMZ, the answer is yes.

 On Sunday, the publication accused Brown of refusing to stand during the National Anthem in a charity basketball game on 9/11. In the video above, Tank is encouraging everyone to join him in singing the National Anthem. "I understand everybody is exercising their right to stand or to sit. And to exercise my right to freedom of justice," he says. "But in the wake of 9/11, please understand and respect the fact that real men, women, and children lost their lives for this very thing we are able to stand for today. For this very place that we’re in, for this interaction, for this moment."

The camera pans to Brown who is seen sitting down through Tank's rendition until someone helps him up. It's important to note that Brown was actually enjoying Tank's singing, even nodding his head at a couple of moments. Brown's gesture could be interpreted in many ways, depending on who you'd ask.

 Brown doesn't exactly have the best relationship with TMZ, and proceeded to call them out on Instagram. In a move similar to when he blasted TMZ for their story titled "Chris Brown Settles Beef...Over Gay Pride Gig," he posted a screenshot of the story and wrote "Stay classy!"

 Fans were visibly upset after watching the video on TMZ. Is Brown in the center of another controversy?

Drake Says He's Been 'In Love' with Rihanna Since He Was 22

Drake ran into some traffic on the way to the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night, but he made it to the ceremony in time to give Rihanna the VMAs Video Vanguard Award.
Walking on stage after Rihanna performed for the final time of the night, Drake -- dressed in a tuxedo -- praised the singer for never changing, and said he had been "in love" with her since he was 22 years old.
"The first time I met Robyn Fenty [Rihanna's real name] was in 2005," Drake said. "She was shooting a music video at a restaurant called Avocado in Toronto. The song was 'Pon de Replay' and the director was Little X. I was introduced to her... It's hard to believe that 11 years later we'd come together to create the visual for a song called 'Work.' Today the world knows X as Director X... 11 years later, they still know Rihanna as the one and only Rihanna."
Calling her captivating, Drake touted Rihanna's "untouchable" level of performance and style, adding, "She succeeds by doing something which no one in this industry does, which is be herself."
"She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old," Drake said. "She's one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life i've looked up to her even though she's younger than me." 
In accepting the award, Rihanna thanked MTV for the honor, and said her success is "not my own."
"It's my family's, it's my fans, it's my country's, it's the Caribbean as a whole, it's women, it's black women... so many people feel like their little piece is such a major part of this puzzle and i have to thank you guys for supporting me over and over," she said. Rihanna thanked her host of collaborators over the years, and also Drake.
"Thank you, Drake, for that," she said. "Thank you MTV. I had so much fun!"

'Nobody should die the way he did' - Mother of Nigerian murder victim begs witnesses to come forward.

Ms Yemi Hughes, the devastated mother of a 19-year-old Nigerian teenager who was stabbed to death in Croydon, London has begged for witnesses to come forward.

Andre Aderemi was killed in the Monks Hill estate in South Croydon on Tuesday, August 16. He was stabbed multiple times after being pursued by three armed youths carrying weapons.

The teenager had moved away from the area but his mother Yemi Hughes dropped him off to see a friend at about 7.30pm that fateful day - just 10 minutes before he was stabbed. Ms Hughes said:

"I never thought this would be the last time that I saw him. I received a call to beg me to come as he was screaming for me but by the time I arrived the paramedics were fighting to save his life. I never got to see him alive again, to tell him how much I love him, to see his infectious smile, to cradle my baby in my arms and tell him that I would fix and make everything better," she said. 

"I am begging for witnesses to come forward and give their accounts so that myself and Andre's little brothers can get some closure and justice for my son's murder. Nobody should die the way that he did and I am devastated not only by the loss of Andre but also by the manner in which he died. Our lives will never be the same again, so please if you know anything, no matter how small you think it is, can you pass it onto police."

Four persons have been arrested in connection with the murder. Investigators believe that a number of suspects may have sped off in a car after the stabbing. Detective Chief Inspector Sam Price said:

"Did you witness the incident last Tuesday or see a white vehicle on the estate that night? Did you see any other vehicles that may have been involved? Whilst enquiries are ongoing, we believe a number of people possibly fled the scene in a vehicle following the attack. Were any other individuals involved whom police are not already aware of? I am keen to speak with anyone who saw what happened."

Ali Zahawy, 18, appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court on yesterday, while Jamall Longergan, of Thornton Heath, Fabio Cela, of Croydon, and Rodney Mukasa, of Croydon, all aged 19, were due to appear at the Old Bailey.
