Pearce’s Picks: Dick Haymes, 1958-1961
August 4th, 2017 
CEO 
By Jerry Pearce
The life and career of Dick Haymes was covered in a piece written several articles ago here on Newzbreaker, and while given a brief mention, glossed over a unique benchmark in his career that saw the production of two fine swing albums heralded by the forgotten balladeer. While Haymes was best known for the tender readings of intricate ballads, his forte which allowed him to have a successful career serenading audiences with traveling orchestra throughout the 1940s, the singer could swing as well, most notably on two releases which saw the light of day in both 1958 and 1961.
The Bad Boys of the Irish Mob

By Marla Eggar
For over 150 years the Irish Mob has battled the Mafia (Italian) the government and each other. Unlike the Italian mob the Irish operate more like lone wolves. They don’t have the buffers or the infrastructure the Italian mob has but their just as notorious and ruthless as their counterparts. Listed below are 7 of the Irish mob’s notable bad boys, across the Atlantic:
7.) John Gilligan
Gilligan ran a drug dealing empire focused on the distribution of hash. Known to be both egotistical and vain, Gilligan was anything, but when he received a 20-year sentence for drug trafficking. Gilligan’s notoriety will always be centered around the assassination of an innocent reporter and mother Veronica Guerin. Gilligan was exiled from England after multiple assassination attempts on his life and due to the murder of Veronica Guerin it’s safe to say he has no friends left in Ireland.

August 3rd, 2017 CEO Tati’s World: Reality TV a Sticky Web of Guilty Pleasure!
August 2nd, 2017 CEO 
By Tatiauna Miller
Sunday night I got caught in the web of reality TV. It was like watching a couple argue in the car next to you or watching someone’s child have a temper tantrum in the mall. Those are all things you’re embarrassed to see happening in front of you, but can’t look away. That’s what reality TV is for me. I felt like both my eyes and brain were held hostage, and a perverse part of me enjoyed it. The conscious part knows a majority of these shows, if not all of them are staged for maximum messiness, but again, I couldn’t turn away. Any minute I was going to turn into a pillar of salt as I looked on.
The night started with me watching about 5 minutes of “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” I tuned in to Kim calling some stranger a slut and a whore and bragging to her cronies and Kanye that she went ghetto on her. First thing, I want to know is how she can “fix her mouth” to call someone a slut/whore, but got rich and famous off a porn?

August 2nd, 2017 CEO The Sinatra File: Shot Down in Eighty-One
August 1st, 2017 CEO 
By Jerry Pearce
The decadent arrangement of “The Gal Who Got Away” and “It Never Entered My Mind” first sung by Frank Sinatra in the early 1980s, is perhaps the greatest fusion chart ever created for a singer of American standards. Combining a stomping orchestral chart by Nelson Riddle with some tasty intricate solo piano played by Sinatra sideman Vincent Falcone, the arrangement was the final selection on the brief but memorable Sinatra album “She Shot Me Down,” finally brought to the ears of listeners after nearly a decade of stops and starts in July 1981. The album recently celebrated its thirty-sixth anniversary, and is deserving of an honorable mention. With the exception of the “Duets” albums of the 1990s, “She Shot Me Down” is the next to last solo album produced for Sinatra’s label, Reprise Records.

August 1st, 2017 CEO Catch Me If You Can: Whitey Bulger
July 31st, 2017 CEO 
By Marla Eggar
James Joseph Bulger aka Whitey Bulger could turn on the charm one minute and become a psychopathic killer the next. He alluded police for years by becoming the Houdini of the underworld. Bulger was a master at manipulating circumstances and people. The South Boston native grew up in the first public housing project ever built in New England, The Old Harper. The area was predominately working-class Irish and was overall considered a safe place to raise your family. While Bugler’s siblings did well in school and excelled, he dropped out and became a juvenile delinquent. As a teen, he was arrested by the age of 13 for stealing off the back of a truck.

July 31st, 2017 CEO Guns N Roses Still Whetting Appetites 30 Years On
July 31st, 2017 CEO 
Make no mistake about it, Guns N’ Roses are more than just the quintessential hard rock band. One only needs to look at the band’s name to know that the Los Angeles rockers were truly ahead of the curve in every sense of the word. The name Guns N’ Roses was devised by adding the names of two of the band member’s previous groups together but rather than go with the conventional conjunction “and”, Slash, Axl and co decided to slap a giant ‘N’ in its place, perfectly capturing the essence of the band while speaking volumes about their no nonsense nature and unwillingness to conform.
A Closer Look at Robert De Niro
July 30th, 2017 CEO 
By Marla Eggar
Hollywood dignitary Robert De Niro is the ultimate supreme when it comes to actors. He’s given life to memorable characters like: Jake LaMotta (Raging Bull) John “Johnny Boy” Civello (Mean Streets) and the iconic young Vito Corleone (Godfather 2) and Jimmy Conway (Goodfellas) to name just a few amazing roles he given us. Robert De Niro has led a fascinating career and inspiring life. While it would be impossible to list all of his achievements in his 74 year time span I’ve instead jotted down some little known facts, for some, about both De Niro’s career and life:

July 30th, 2017 CEO The Mafia Chronicles: New Name In Hoffa Disappearance Linked To Former N.F.L. Players
July 28th, 2017 CEO 
By Larry Henry
By unearthing a new name in the Jimmy Hoffa disappearance, a noted organized crime journalist and author could be one step closer to solving the 42-year mystery over what became of the former labor leader’s body.
Knowing for sure what happened to Hoffa’s body — whether Hoffa was cremated, as some have suggested, or buried or crushed and turned into a hubcap — also could end any dispute over who murdered the corrupt, longtime Teamsters Union boss.
This month, Dan E. Moldea, author of the authoritative 1978 nonfiction book “The Hoffa Wars,” disclosed an intriguing bit of information that a source told him a couple of years ago regarding the Hoffa body.

By Tatiauna Miller
Welcome to my world! This is where I have the pleasure of discussing whatever the hell I want! This may not be the place for intelligent and thought provoking discussion on this week’s current events or healthy food recipes, but this is everything in between. Now, just because I’m not discussing the most recent tragedy or jaw dropping news story doesn’t mean I’m not aware or affected. I just choose not to discuss it here. Alright, now that my somewhat low key disclaimer is out of the way, I do appreciate your questions and or comments. Here’s some background on me: I’m a single parent with a 7 year old daughter (she’s adorable…no really she is). I live in the DMV area (DC, MD, and VA) and I work for the government aka Swamp! I love to laugh, dance, read, drive fast and talk shit…

July 23rd, 2017 CEO 
Loading ...
By Marla Eggar
Joseph Salvatore “Skinny Joey” Merlino is a South Philly native believed to be the head of the Philadelphia mob. Merlino came on the scene in the early 90s as an alluring, magnetic and poised personality. Merlino may be better known in the mob world for the war he initiated with John Stanfa when Stanfa was chosen as the new leader of the Philadelphia Crime family. Stanford was chosen because of his maturity and low profile. Merlino on the other hand headed a fraction in the family referred to as the “Young Turks.”
This crew was stocked with more of the “young bloods” in the family whose loyalty remain with each other. The “Young Turks” were also more prone to the limelight and media attention. When the war within the family broke out media attention and the limelight were also accompanied by casualties. Still, by “95” Merlino was declared the winner and became an impressive leader. Now, at the age of 55 Merlino has spent, at least 20 years, of his life behind bars. Despite speculation of participating or orchestrating many hits he’s never once been convicted of murder.
