Sparky Flinstone is a reformed simp and current leader of the LBYF movement. His ex-girl said he had no power and nicknamed him M&M (Minute Man) Peenut. M&M thought life was over until he met Einstein. Einstein put M&M on when he invented the Freak Key. This key would change M&M’s life and help him find a good wife.
The bible says, “He who finds a freak for a wife finds a good thing.” In New Jack City Neno Brown said “cancel that bitch” so M&M canceled his girl, took the red pill and started listening to Dr. BOA, StephIsCold and Coach E.O.
When Einstein gave M&M the key, he warned him to use caution due to its power to soften the heart of every hoe and bring out the freak in every lady. M&M didn’t care, Harlots and hoes became an everyday thing until he had a life changing dream wherein he was visited by a king and a girl named Aquacutie from 21,293 light years away.
The king gave M&M long lasting “whopper power” and Aquacutie instructed him to visit the Invisible Galaxy. Once he got to the invisible galaxy M&M met StephIsCold and Coach E.O. They killed the simp and Sparky Flinstone was born. Sparky got so cold he partnered with VTVeee.com to produce a red pill reality show called “Spark of Love”.
The Spark of Love reality show will go into production in the fall of 2022. The show also has a forthcoming music soundtrack featuring several hot artists. The lead single is titled “Freak Key “performed by Sparky Flinstone. The song Freak Key was inspired by Skrillex and his “Bangarang” movement. It was also chosen as the theme song to promote the Spark of Love because it represents the pinnacle of sexual confidence and modern chic.
36 sexy and confident women will be chosen to see if they have that magical spark. One lucky lady will create the spark needed for Sparky to fulfill her wildest dreams no matter how much it costs.

ALTON, Ill. (KMOV) - A man is facing charges, accused of beheading his pregnant ex-girlfriend at her home in Alton.
Deundrea Holloway, 22, of Litchfield, is charged with 2 counts of first-degree murder, 2 counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, one count of dismembering a human body, concealment of homicidal death & motor vehicle offenses.
Alton Police Chief Marcos Pulido said that at around 12:59 p.m., police responded to the 3400 block of Bolivar Street in regards to a possible homicide. An initial investigation found that an adult was found dead in the home. She was identified Monday as Liese A. Dodd, 22. Police say Liese’s mother went to check on her daughter & found her dead.
Authorities say that Holloway beheaded Dodd & put her head in a dumpster. Holloway & Dodd had been dating on & off for 2 years. Dodd’s baby was due in mid-July. Dodd recently moved to Alton & was originally from the Litchfield area.
Holloway was arrested in Gillespie, Illinois. He is being held at the Alton police department on a $2 million bond.
The mother & grandmother of a 9-year-old Arizona girl have been charged with murder after authorities discovered that the child suffered from a severe untreated lice infestation when she died.
Sandra Kraykovich, 38, & Elizabeth Kraykovich, 64, were initially charged with felony child abuse after they were arrested in March in connection with the girl’s death & the condition of her 2 siblings, ages 11 & 13.
An autopsy determined that the 9-year-old died of “anemia from untreated lice infestation with malnutrition as a contributing factor.”
He added that that the girl also had a fluid buildup in her lungs, liver necrosis & an iron deficiency.
Her siblings, who also suffered from severe lice infestations, were placed in the custody of relatives.
Sandra told police her 9-year-old daughter suffered from anemia & had been sick since March 15 – describing the symptoms as vomiting, fever, headache, difficulty breathing & balance issues.
On March 22, Tucson firefighters responded to the family’s apartment, where the girl was pronounced dead after first-responders attempted life-saving measures.
Police officers noted concerns about living conditions at the scene, where officials said bugs began to cover the dead girl’s face.
“Upon closer inspection it was discovered that there was an enormous amount of lice in her hair,” first responders told police.
One of the older siblings reportedly told investigators that their mother had tried to treat the lice using mouthwash.
Sandra told investigators that she realized that if she had gotten her daughter medical care, she would still be alive – adding that she should have gotten help, but didn’t because of the lice infestation.
Detectives from the Child Physical Abuse Unit charged the 2 women with felony child abuse. They were later also charged with first-degree murder.

This collection of music is colored by the simple social justice cause of using music to alleviate the conditions of the distraught in society.
Batesville, Mississippi — June 22nd, 2022- Liljeremy j is an inspiring new artist who locates his musical vision in the use of musical tunes and inspirational messages to be able to help homeless and needy people. By this, the rising star simply means to be able to use music as a mode of social justice or a simple agent of equity in times when the world seems to be becoming more and more polarized and individualistic.
Liljeremy j wishes to ensure that this collection of music gets to the people that share this innate quality of compassion and empathy with him and help alleviate some of the sufferings that run rampant in the world. The eclectic artist’s unique musical vision lacks any large grand narratives for personal fame and fortune and thus shows the immense honesty with which the singer wishes to pursue musical talent in a world that only strives for individuality.
This consortium of music is lyrically deep and musically alluring forming the perfect combination for worldwide recognition with finality. Liljeremy j defines himself as a simple God-fearing artist who realizes that the true purpose of a believer lies in their sole ability to recognize the hardship in the lives of those that are less fortunate than him. This perception colors the music that is then produced at last.
As a man of faith, Liljeremy j is cognizant of the fact that many individuals have forgotten the true marker of faith as being these kinds of simple acts of kindness and love for strangers. The singer is confident that with the proper support he can truly do something substantive for the homeless people in and around his area. The first step is to try with honesty and grit.

HOPEWELL, Va. (AP) — Four inmates escaped from a federal prison’s satellite camp in Virginia, officials announced Saturday morning.
Inmates Corey Branch, Tavares Lajuane Graham, Lamonte Rashawn Willis and Kareem Allen Shaw were discovered missing from the Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg’s satellite camp in Hopewell, Virginia, around 1:45 a.m., the Federal Bureau of Prisons said in a news release. The minimum security facility houses 185 male offenders, officials said. Officials did not release any details about how the inmates escaped.
The U.S.Marshals Service, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies were notified and an internal investigation has been initiated, officials said.
Branch, 41, was sentenced in the Eastern District of Virginia to more than 13 years for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and felon in possession of a firearm.

Vanessa Bryant wants a jury to know that the sheriff's deputy accused of taking helicopter crash scene photos of Kobe Bryant was involved in another scandal involving excessive force where a handcuffed inmate's head was allegedly knelt on.
But, L.A. County is fighting back, insisting the other incident is irrelevant, and would seriously prejudice the jury.
About a year after Kobe, Gigi & 7 others tragically died in a helicopter crash, there was an incident inside a county jail involving a deputy named Doug Johnson ... who's accused of kneeling on the head of a handcuffed inmate for several minutes. The March 2021 incident received national news attention.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department allegedly attempted to prevent the details of the incident from going public ... believing it'd be a black eye for the department.
It's not the first scandal Johnson's allegedly been involved in ... 'cause he's accused of being one of the deputies who took photographs of Kobe's remains at the crash site.
Photos were then allegedly shown to civilians in places like bars.
Now, lawyers for L.A. County are asking a judge to prevent Vanessa's attorney's from raising the issue during the defamation & negligence trial -- filed by the Bryant family in 2020 & set to begin in July.
The county, in documents filed on Friday, argues the jail incident is "entirely unrelated" to Vanessa's case. They argue bringing up such a hot button issue like excessive force could have a huge effect on the outcome of the trial.
Lawyers for the county reportedly asked Vanessa's legal team if they'd agree not to bring up the other incident ... but VB's attorney refused. That's when L.A. County filed the motion.
A judge is yet to make a decision on L.A. County's request.
As for the jail incident ... Johnson was captured on camera leading an inmate through a hallway, before the man, awaiting a murder charge, punched him in the face several times. Once Johnson got the 24-year-old inmate under control & handcuffed, he allegedly knelt on the inmates head for around 3 minutes.
Here's the footage of Deputy Douglas Johnson kneeling on the head of Enzo Escalante, leaked to Knock LA. @AleneTchek reported on claims that Sheriff Villanueva directed a cover-up of the investigation of this use-of-force & is now the subject of a department investigation. pic.twitter.com/ELj7K2N7Yq
WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) - A Detroit rapper who has already faced weapons charges following a shooting at his home in 2019 has been arraigned on a new count of using a telephone to harass or threaten someone.
West Bloomfield Police confirmed that Obie Trice was being held in Oakland County jail for the charge, which happened in the township.
Trice was given a $10,000 bond with 10% cash surety in the 48th District Court.
The rapper, who had been signed by a record label managed by Eminem in 2000 previously became entangled with law enforcement after police were called to his home on the day of a shooting that injured his girlfriend's teenage son.
Deputies were called to the home that day by a neighbor for a shooting. When deputies arrived, they learned a white car had sped off from the home on Woodvale.
Deputies went to the home and found a man walking out of the front door with a pistol in his right hand. Deputies ordered him to drop the weapon and go to the ground. He was arrested without incident.
Records indicate Trice was also injured in a shooting in 2005 when someone shot at his car on The Lodge.
