Over Our Dead Bodies!

Continued protests against Trump.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

Unfortunately, we a guy who I refuse to acknowledge as a leader of this country is determined to focus of threat levels on a religion instead of easy access to obtain firearms.

The backdoor Muslim ban is already inflaming tensions here and abroad.

Fuhrer Donald Trump's executive order causes a massive protest at America's major airports. It affects some of the country's immigrants who work in the service industry.

Yesterday he signed off a declaration barring residents from seven Muslim majority nations to enter the United States. He said that people associated with Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are banned from entering the country.

This decision gives extremists a reason. They can finally admit the United States is at war with Islam.

The extreme vetting of refugees and immigrants into the United States has cause such an uproar, and it led to many taking to the streets and the airports to show the world that they strongly disapprove of the decision.

The American Civil Liberties Union, the Council of American Islamic Relations, the NAACP, immigrant rights groups are furious.

Some are calling out the fuhrer for having business ties to Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Azerbaijan.

Of course, we can't relent against this. Fight.

Democrats who refuse to fight better move aside, we're making a movement.

Trump Played His Race Card!




When Colin Kaepernick sat in protest of the national anthem, he was ridiculed by the junk food media. Conservatives were calling him a NIGGER and telling him to go back to Africa. They wanted him to lose his football contract because he refused to stand for a song. He has a right to not stand for the national anthem and it's starting to become a movement.

When Donald Trump says he believe America's going to hell, he's winning praise from his supporters and those in the junk food media. These are very same ones who attacked Kaepernick for his stance.

Well this week Trump have went to Mexico to have a presser with the president Enrique Pena Nieto.

The Republican nominee had an opportunity to ease tensions with Mexico. It turns out he didn't. He is still determined to build the border wall and have Mexico pay for it.

Pena Nieto got a lot of blowback from this. He said to Trump directly that Mexico will not advocate property or costs for a border wall. Trump would have property destroyed in both countries to built this wall. Some parts of a Mexican highway goes into the United States. Tijuana which is at the south of San Diego has portions of road entering the United States.

International Parkway (Tijuana Ensenada Road) in Tijuana briefly goes through the U.S. for at least 1/2 mile.

Do you want Mexico to destroy the road, tear down businesses and homes to built a wall?

The international boundary between the U.S., Mexico and Canada pass through homes and businesses.

I doubt that.

His speech in Arizona also covered this week. He brought the mothers of victims murdered by immigrants out to express their support for Trump.

He took the hardline stance once again on handling immigration.
Being a dick.
White extremists praised the speech. Some of Donald Trump's Latino supporters are dropping their endorsement of him.

Sean "Softball" Hannity and Laura Ingraham praised the speech because he stuck to the message and used a teleprompter. Hannity was notoriously mocking President Barack Obama for using them.

Donald Trump has often criticized using them. This new team of Kellyanne Conway and Stephen Bannon has gotten Trump back on the track.

The Trump people are trying to catch up from a horrible month of misfortunate. His chances has increased slightly. Trump has a 35% chance at winning the presidency.

Trump so far has 206 electoral votes. He has to win swing states like Florida, Colorado, Ohio and Nevada to become the President of the United States.

SCOTUS Downs Obama's Executive Order On Immigration!



It was an evenly divided court that decided on the use of executive orders for presidents. This will affect presidents after President Barack Obama. The 4-4 decision to send the executive order on work permits to immigrants back to the lower court was considered a blow to Obama on his immigration plan.

The liberal and conservative wing kicked the decision back to the lower court which said that it was unconstitutional.

The order would have secured 4 million immigrants living here in the United States.

The Wall Street Journal added that the court's outcome in the immigration case doesn't require the administration to begin deportations of the affected immigrants—all of whom had significant ties to the U.S., such as children who are U.S. citizens or lawful residents. But it does halt the government's plan to normalize their presence by granting them authorization to work.

Speaking from the White House, Obama expressed frustration at the nation's continuing paralysis on immigration policy: "I believe that this country deserves an immigration policy that reflects the goodness of the American people."

The president also complained about the continuation of the open seat at the Supreme Court. Citing the increasingly frequent tie votes, he said that Republicans were extending the court's paralysis by refusing to consider his nominee for the open seat, U.S. Circuit Judge Merrick Garland.

"Republicans in Congress currently are willfully preventing the Supreme Court from being fully staffed and functioning as our founders intended," Obama said.

Republicans have said the next president should decide who should fill the Supreme Court opening.

Obama announced the immigration policies in November 2014, describing them as the furthest he believed he could go using executive authority to normalize the status of illegal immigrants after a Senate-passed immigration overhaul died in the House.
The current members of the Supreme Court. Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Anthony Kennedy, Chief Justice John Roberts, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. Without the ninth justice, it's going to be a quagmire of decisions that could gravely affect the nation. Antonin Scalia passed away in February.
The plan sought to assist more than four million people who already are considered the lowest priority for deportation. Authorities, lacking resources to remove most of the more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., focus on newly arrived individuals and those with criminal records.

By formally suspending the threat of deportation, the program would give affected immigrants the opportunity to obtain work authorization and other prerequisites for participating in society, such as a Social Security number and a driver's license.

Obama demanded that the voters decide on what the future. He said should they vote, should they continue to allow the federal courts and agencies tied up, mass shootings, gridlock in Congress, partisan gamesmanship, and Donald Trump. He urges that the future lies in the Dreamers who believe that they can change the direction of Congress and the presidency.

It's a tall order given the Republicans gerrymandered areas making it harder to win the House.

Republicans and their conservative allies have a megaphone of agitators and simpletons willing to distort the truth.

California Pastor Lost His Church Because He Cheered The Orlando Massacre!

Pastor Hate got booted from his church.

While the conservatives are bitching about the scourge of "radical Islam", they turn a blind eye to the "radical Christians" who promote the same rhetoric.

Religious extremism is a threat to the United States.

Unfortunately, GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

We all mourned the tragedy in Orlando. This terrorist murdered 49 people before the law put him down. As the world mourn the lost of innocence, this asshole pastor from California was excited.

Roger Jimenez was making national news when he said Orlando is a little safer tonight knowing that 50 pedophiles were killed. He only wished "the tragedy [would have taken out] that more of them.

He said that he wasn't one bit upset over this. He wished this terrorist would have finished everyone off.

These comments were condemned by the world and the public went to protest his church.

He laughed at them and said that the junk food media has given him new attendees.

The backlash gotten so much attention, the owner of the property said that Jimenez can practice his religion in his garage.

The property management and owner of the building in which Verity Baptist Church and its Pastor Roger Jimenez preside have decided not to renew the church's lease, and have asked church officials to consider moving.

His attacks on the LGBT and Muslim community are disgusting. In the wake of a tragedy, the concern trolls often find blame with those who aren't the shooter.

This mass shooting has sparked issues on gun violence, hate crimes against Muslims and the LGBT, and terrorism (domestic and international).

This bigot is free to express his bile around the pughs. Unfortunately he's not going to do it at his original location. He's outta of there!

Good riddance.

We mourn with the families of the Orlando tragedy. Our friends in the LGBT and Muslim community have our support.

Watch this with discretion.

The Democratic Nominee Is....!

The first woman in U.S. history to be the nominee of her party. Hillary Clinton says that it's not over until the final primaries. Clinton is knocking Bernie Sanders out the park.

Yesterday, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton officially sealed the deal. She is the presumptive Democratic nominee and it's certainly pissed off her opponent U.S. senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

A first in U.S. history, a woman will represent a national party for president. Seems like the Democratic Party is the party of progress. The Democrats nominated and the American people elected twice the first Black president. Barack H. Obama was a senator from Illinois when he declared his bid for president in 2007. He was facing Hillary Clinton, then a senator from New York and former First Lady of the United States for the Democratic nomination.

It was one of the most fiercest primaries in the country. Of course, this is a fierce primary as well.

Sanders who's facing calls to end the race isn't going away. He believes that the superdelegates endorsing Clinton was a mistake and the progress is "rigged".

His stubbornness is also a factor to why this isn't going his way. He managed to push the Democrats further to the left.

The president is about to formally endorse Clinton after the six primaries.

President Barack Obama is eager to campaign. He believes that the focus on Congress being inept and Donald Trump's bombastic rhetoric are keys to helping the Democrats win back the senate and maybe the White House.

Republican Donald Trump is facing controversy after he singled out a judge for being a "Mexican".

Trump is facing a federal lawsuit for his defunct Trump University. He singled out Gonzalo P. Curiel for being a hater and wants his supporters to troll him. Of course, threatening a federal judge could land you in federal time out for years.

Republicans are calling for Trump to end the feud with Curiel. No signs of letting it go from the Trump campaign.

California, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, New Jersey, and New Mexico are today.

Clinton told her supporters that it's not over! She said that everyone continues to vote.

California and New Jersey are nail biters. Clinton leads by four against Sanders. Matter of fact, if she blowouts the six states, she will be the official nominee.

Right now, Clinton, Sanders and Trump are campaigning in each state to seal the deal.

The Feds Caught The Pretty Face!

The fugitive wanted for murder was captured in Mexico. Brenda Delgado escape the Texas lawmen after she plotted the murder of a rival.


Brenda Delgado was added to the FBI Top 10 Most Wanted fugitives on Thursday. On Saturday, the feds said the fugitive was captured in Mexico. She was the mastermind who planned a murder of a Dallas dentist who dated her ex-boyfriend.

The junk food media was talking about this pretty face being added to the list.

She was involved in hiring Kristopher Love to take out Dr. Kendra Hatcher. Love would get his girlfriend at the time Crystal Cortes to drive him to the parking garage that Kendra goes to.

As Kendra was heading into her apartment, Love put the work in her. He shot her in the head and let her die with no remorse. The cameras capture Cortes speed off in her vehicle with Love inside it.

Well the feds and Texas lawmen quickly rounded up the suspects for questioning. Love confessed to taking orders from Delgado. She promised him $500, wiping away evidence and dope from her cousins who have ties to domestic terrorists (drug cartels).
Mexico will bring the fugitive to the U.S. only if they take the GAS off the table.
Cortes said that she befriended Delgado and was dating Love at the time. She claimed that Love threatened her and her son with murder if she spoke to the law.

The law didn't buy the excuses. They said that these two are cold blooded murders. They wanted to round up Delgado but she took off.

For the last six months, she was on the run. The FBI said that they're going to capture her and bring her to justice.

The suspect was found in Torreon, Mexico about 450 miles from Dallas.

Again, Delgado is innocent until proven guilty. Since the U.S. and Mexican authorities agreed on not giving her the GAS, she is going to be facing 25 to LIFE in the iron college if found guilty. The other suspects Love and Cortes are innocent until guilty. They were caught in Texas.

They could face the GAS if found guilty.

Delgado is a Mexican national. Her arrest could spark more hateful rhetoric from Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. They openly said that they believe immigrants are murderers, rapists, drug traffickers and a wall should be built around the U.S.-Mexican border. Of course, they want cut through properties owned to do so.

Drudge Mocking Little Marco!

The conservatives turn on their prodigal son.

The Trump Campaign has called for Marco Rubio and John Kasich to exit the race. The Michigan primaries are coming Tuesday. Rubio and Kasich are vowing to stay in the race. Kasich said that if he fails at winning his state of Ohio, he's bouncing. Rubio is determined to stay in this race despite his chances being less than 30% of being the nominee. Many speculators in the junk food media say that if he fails at winning his home state of Florida, he's done.

Donald Trump has called the senator "LITTLE MARCO" and it stuck to him like glue. The senator who is the establishment's choice for the nomination is facing a brutal beat down by Trump and Ted Cruz, his fellow senator from Texas.

Rubio has saw his stock tumble after disappointing finishes on Super Tuesday. The senator only won the Minnesota caucus and Puerto Rico primary. Those don't add much to his delegate count.

Cruz has 320 delegates to Trump's 410 delegates. That's pretty much a 90 delegate lead for the controversial billionaire. Rubio has 120 delegates and Kasich has 60 delegates.

The conservative Craiglist mocked the Florida senator for being at measly 5'8" without high heel boots. He claims he stands at 5'10", the average height of men.

The height controversy started when the junk food media spotted Rubio walking in high heel boots.

It lead to a huge mockery of the senator. Even failed presidential candidates mocked him for the apparent fashionable choice. Rand Paul was in Whoopi Goldberg's dressing room showing off shoes and mocking Rubio. Carly Fiorina offered him a pair of her high heel boots.






There's a picture circulating around showing the senator sitting a luxury chair with his feet above the ground.



It's a brutal takedown of the senator. Trolls took the picture and ran with it.

Here's some hilarious Twitter memes from the internet mocking Rubio.


















Any thoughts of this situation?

Marco Rubio Forgot The President Is Black! By The Way He's A Democrat!

Rubio says that he, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson being on stage is a sign of diversity. He said that being endorsed by Nikki Haley and Tim Scott shows the Republicans are the party of diversity.


One thing I managed to catch at the Republican debate is the comments by Marco Rubio. He said that the Republican Party is the most diverse party because they have two Hispanic lawmakers and a Black neurosurgeon on stage.

Given the possibility the party may nominate another old White guy, Rubio desperately played the race card at the CNN debate.

Republicans are struggling to win Hispanics and Black voters. Despite the Republican candidate's bold claims about the party being the most diverse, the party is also too damn conservative and too damn White.

Rubio, Cruz and Ben Carson make up about 10% of the Republican Party's diversity. The party is 90% WHITE and 10% EVERYTHING else.

The Republican Party is White like cocaine. They may have minorities in the party, but the policies and their rhetoric isn't diverse. It's pretty damn condescending and outright bigoted.

Donald Trump's rise could bring Blacks and Hispanics voters into the fold. Some are tempted to vote for the controversial media mogul.

I see Donald Trump as Arnold Schwarzenegger. He will bankroll on his celebrity status to win. His bombastic and witty charm woos conservatives and some Democrats.

Given the possibility of Trump winning the election is strong. I don't want to believe it, but it could happen if you don't help the Democrat win. Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders aren't strong contenders and it's going to be a bumpy road for the Democrats. Given Obama fatigue and an inspired Republican voter base, the Democrats got to win back voters.

It's likely a Democrat could beat the Republican nominee. But given the circumstances, it's going to be a TOSS UP.

Trump has tapped into the populist rage that fuels the anti-government resentment towards lawmakers.

John Kasich, Marco Rubio and even Ted Cruz are considered establishment. Cruz calls himself the best choice to take on Washington. But he's been in Washington for two years and haven't really accomplish much since. He's been more of a talker and not a doer. That's hurting him in the race.

Rubio is also the same. Rubio won on the wave of insurgency. He and Rand Paul were elected in 2010 and they been in the senate for most of their term doing absolutely nothing. Even the compromise to immigration reform that was sponsored by Rubio was voted down by him.

When it comes to diversity the Republican Party has a long way to go before it can truly be a diverse party.

Remember the Democratic Party nominated and the American people elected twice the first Black president.

The first Black U.S. Supreme Court justice was picked by a Democrat.

The first Hispanic woman to serve as a U.S. Supreme court justice was picked by a Democratic president who happens to be Black. The first Black man and woman were nominated and confirmed as the Attorney General of the United States.

The first woman as the Speaker of the House is a woman.

The current front runner in the race is a woman. Her opponent is the first Jewish candidate to run.

The Democratic Party's chairperson is a lawmaker who is a woman.

Under a Democratic President who happens to be Black, marriage equality is legal in the United States.

Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz as well as Donald Trump and John Kasich aren't friends of the Black and Hispanic communities. They're a bunch of myopic dicks.

Shout out to comedian/talk radio host John Fugelsang for also catching the Rubio-Bot self-destruct!

Tragedy At A Glendale School!

School shootings are constantly happening.

While most mass shootings go unnoticed, a school shooting always seem to bring attention to the rise in gun violence. Last year over 33,000 Americans lost their lives to gun violence. I can assure you that over 2,500 people have lost their lives to firearms this year alone. And its not getting any better.

Okay, there was a tragic shooting at Independence High School in Glendale. Two girls were killed. This happened to be a murder-suicide. The motives of the shooter are unknown but I have that feeling that bullying or spurn relationships were the cause of the event.

The 10th graders at Independence High School in Glendale had single gunshot wounds and a weapon was found near their bodies, police said. A suicide note was located.

A shooting was reported just before 8 a.m., when the first classes were scheduled to start, said Officer Tracey Breeden. Officers found the girls under a covered patio.
Murder suicide over lover being spurned. 
"Although the investigation is not complete, investigators working the case say evidence found at the scene leads them to believe that one female took the life of the other female before taking her own life," police said later Friday.

According to police, detectives learned the girls were close friends, and appeared to be in a relationship.

The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office will make a final determination of the cause and manner of death. Police did not identify the girls, as Dorothy Dutiel and May Kieu, both 15 years old.

I don't know who shot the victim.

World News Today send our condolence to the victim of this senseless tragedy.

Washington Post "Monkeys Around" With Ted Cruz And His Kids!

Insurgent Ted Cruz fires at the Washington Post when they took aim at his daughters. Cruz is with his wife Heidi and daughters Catherine (left) and Caroline (right). 

Now I am not a fan of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and his bombastic campaign for president. The insurgent lawmaker has relatively no accomplishments since his introduction to the senate in 2013.

He's been nothing more than a gadfly to the Republicans. The conservatives love his "in your face" approach when it comes to taking on Washington.

But his "in your face" approach has made it harder for Republicans to support him. They believe that Cruz and Donald Trump could spell disaster.

But given the atmosphere in the junk food media, it's not an easy road for a perennial running Hillary Clinton. So far she's leading against most candidates. Clinton is still having slow support from many of the progressives. Many progressives view Clinton more negatively after the fiasco with Bernie Sanders and previously then Barack Obama.

When campaigning for the nomination, the candidates swore they'll never attack the children of a candidate. But for the junk food media, nothing is off limits.
Pathetic.
The Washington Post had to do damage control when they released a political cartoon featuring Cruz with two little monkeys. I guess the monkeys were Catherine and Caroline. Those are the senator's two young daughters.

Cue the outrage.

For one thing Cruz is Hispanic. Depicting him and his daughters as monkeys is pretty damn racist!

The person who drew the comic will probably be placed in the freezer or fired out the cannon once the heat increases. But it's become a rally cry for Cruz to raise campaign cash.

Cruz raised a $1 million from it.

Cruz called it a "tasteless attack". He said that you can say whatever the fuck about him. But you best not talk about his kids!

"My daughters are not FAIR GAME," he wrote on social media and in his fundraising emailer. "I'm sickened....I knew I'd be facing attacks from day one of my campaign, but I never expected anything like this."

Fool, please. You know that being the President of the United States is going to be a job for the patient. Barack Obama faced an onslaught of attacks from the people like you.

When has there been ever a time the junk food media been easy of the families of a political candidate?

His wife was brutally criticized by those agitators in the conservative media for being "an angry Black woman". They don't see her as an accomplished mother, wife, business executive and volunteer.

Think about last month when The Daily Caller obtained a Snapchat photo of Malia Obama attending Brown University and she's viewing a game of beer pong. Or the Republican staffer who took to social media to attack the appearance of Malia and Sasha Obama during the 2014 pardoning of the turkeys.

And who can't forget the conservative Craigslist reporting that the junk food media scrubbing a story about Malia and a few her friends heading out of country. The story being leaked caused the Secret Service to end Malia's vacation early.

Ted, you better get used to it. The junk food media has no shame in what it does.

Matter of fact, the freedom of speech assures this type of trash to be published.

Critics probably splashed this nonsense on their screen savers.

The Ladies Of Comedy Are Not Joking About The Inept Congress!

Sofia Vergara added her voice to the campaign
Sofia Vergara joins entertainers in a public service announcement demanding Congress pass reasonable gun control laws. I can imagine Republicans are going to ignore them. I can see conservative agitators call them "limousine liberals".

Amy Schumer, Julliane Moore, Jennifer Anniston, Sarah Silverman, Sofia Vergara, Sarah Silverman, Nathan Lane, Debra Messing, Kevin Bacon, Michael J. Fox, Olivia Munn, and Kristen Schaal joined the president in a PSA. The entertainers plea to Congress do something about gun violence.

The PSA is called "We Can End Gun Violence".

"This new video sends a clear message that we will rally together to help end gun violence. The gun safety movement has grown tremendously over the past few years and what’s more: we’re winning. We’re defeating the gun lobby in statehouses across the country and making it clear that we won’t sit idly by while 88 Americans are killed by gun violence every day and hundreds more are injured," President Barack Obama said.

The recent San Bernardino shootings are now being morphed into an Islamic State themed terrorist attack. The terrorists murdered 14 people and injured 31. They were killed in a hail of gunfire.

The one before that was Colorado Springs. The terrorists was shooting at law enforcement and residents fleeing from the Planned Parenthood location. The terrorist murdered 3 people and injured 12. The law managed to apprehend the terrorist. He will face a jury on capital murder.

The one that didn't catch too much attention was in Colorado Springs. The terrorist went on to murder 4 people and injure many before the law put him down quickly.

The one before that was Umpqua Community College. The terrorist went on to murder 10 people and injure many before he would take his own life.

And we can go on and on and on and on....



The #NotOneMore campaign is launched by the Organizing for America campaign. The president is pressing for reasonable gun control laws.

Now Americans are starting to notice that gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

#BlackLivesMatter, the Council on American Islam Relations (CAIR), Planned Parenthood, and other organizations are rallying people to demand change. They are demanding for Congress to change course or face an usurping.

Amy Schumer appeared in the video
Amy Schumer.
It's starting to work in a slow, painful and yes frustrating way.

People in the city of Chicago are calling for the firing of Rahm Emmanuel. The embattled mayor has seen his city seen mass murder on a daily basis. Even the police force is committing mass murder.

The people of Baltimore managed to get Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to fire herself out the cannon. Baltimore has seen many mass murders within this year. That doesn't include the death of Freddie Gray.

Jon Stewart of Comedy Central came to The Daily Show recently to slam House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate leader Mitch McConnell for failing to pass a simple law. He demands Congress pass the 9/11 Responders Health bill. Stewart was frustrated with lawmakers inserting partisan pork into bipartisan bills so they can blame the president for a government shutdown.

Stewart retired from the show and passed it to Trevor Noah.

These latest actions are starting to get attention by the junk food media. The junk food media is also getting tired of being labeled "liberal" by the agitators and presidential candidates. The junk food media gave the Republicans 3:1 television coverage.

And yet, the conservative concern trolls ignore all the pleas.

I've seen it in the comment section. I've seen it in the social media pages. I've heard it on radio, teleivsion, print, and internet websites. All I hear from conservatives is tongue and nothing more.

Republicans are so freaking inept. The Republican candidates running for president, the Congress and the conservative agitators spent more time pissing off Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and women.

Liberalism (or perhaps progressive views) are on the rise in the United States. Conservatives are trying to delay and/or deny the inevitable.

They don't see that their policies are out of touch with the United States. The rise of Donald Trump is possibly one of the recent surges in conservatism.

I can imagine that annoying conservative agitator calling them limousine liberals.

GOP Wants To Pull The Anchor On Children!

Conservatives are supporting the repeal of the 14th Amendment which gives any child born here automatic citizenship.

Clarification: I want you to know that many people in American Samoa want to be U.S. citizens.

They are considered U.S. nationals. They are required to have passports to enter the United States.

They have to use special privileges to enter the country. They are not considered foreign citizens but are treated as such. There are residents from American Samoa who serve in the military.

Unfortunately, they get no citizenship or veteran assistance without filling out their papers.

People who are born in Puerto Rico aren't immigrants. They are U.S. Citizens. The territory is semi-autonomous. It's considered a commonwealth with organized status with the United States. The main language spoken by residents is Spanish.

94% of the Puerto Ricans speak Spanish. Some people consider Puerto Ricans immigrants. That's not the case. They are American citizens. The territory is a commonwealth. It's a semi-autonomous territory that is in political union with the United States.
Concern trolling.
Okay, the immigration issue came front and center after The Donald bitched about illegals coming to the country. He rose in the polls after six incidents of criminal behavior by undocumented workers.

Republicans are following The Donald. Jeb Bush slid to the fifth or sixth place in recent polls. He is desperate to knock Donald Trump out the lead.

The Donald is a clear front runner in this race and yet many still look at this as a sideshow.

Trump's reaction to calling children born of illegal immigrants "anchor babies" became the newest de jour of conservative outrage.

Conservatives are happy that Trump is saying these things. According to the conservatives, they're tired of trying to be "politically correct" and being called "racist". They don't want to be silenced anymore about their bigotry or utter ignorance.

There are calls for the repeal of the 14th Amendment. It contains the phrase of birthright citizenship.
Trump and Bush are fighting for the lead.
The Republicans are now on board for this. Instead of working on immigration reform, they continue to push the narrative that everyone who is illegal should get the fuck out the country.

Matter of fact, three of the candidates running in the clown car are children of immigrants.

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal's family is from India. He is a descendant of immigrants.

Marco Antonio Rubio 's family is from Cuba. He is a descendant of immigrants.

Rafael Edward  "Ted" Cruz's family is from Cuba. He was born in Calgary, Canada. But since his mother is an American born citizen who didn't claim residence in Canada, he is an American.

Republicans are in agreement that the United States-Mexico border needs to be secured. They figure that this is more important than infrastructure or jobs. They fault President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, immigrants, Blacks, Muslims, the gays, the non-religious, the poor, the needy, and independent women as the real reasons for the country's downfall.

Reince Priebus was trying to make the party more inclusive.

The insurgent candidates won't allow that to happen.

The Law Blames ICE For An Illegal Killing An Ohio Woman!

A Latino outreach group said the real issue was Juan Razo's mental illness, not the status of his green card.
The racist right found its newest boogeyman. Another illegal immigrant who murdered a woman. Donald Trump still riding comfortably in the polls and Republicans are now pushing for stricter laws towards illegal immigration.

That network that scares White folks with stories of Blacks looting liquor stores, immigrants crossing the U.S. border, Muslim prayer rugs, and stories about President Barack Obama is hosting an event on Thursday in Cleveland.

Seventeen candidates running for the Republican nomination.

Junior league.

Rick Santorum - Perennial candidate Officially Last Place
Rick Perry - Perennial candidate Gov. Oops
Jim Gilmore - Perennial candidate Second To Last Place
Carly Fiorina - Perennial candidate iCarly, The Wanna Be Hillary
Mike Huckabee - Perennial candidate Huckleberry Hound
Lindsey Graham - First time Gomer Pyle
George Pataki - First time Dick Dasterdly
Bobby Jindal - First time Piyush Indian Tiger

Big league.

Rand Paul - Son of a perennial candidate and Stallmigo second-in-command
Marco Rubio - Hip-Hop Republican and third flank Stallmigo
Donald Trump - The Apprentice
Scott Walker - The Koch Curd
Jeb Bush - The son and brother of a Bush
Benjamin Carson - The Only Real Black in the Room
John Kasich - Gilligan on Dingleberry Island
Chris Christie - Big Bully
Ted Cruz - Looney Toon and Leader of the Stallmigos

Ten Republicans are going to be on stage. The other seven will be on the stage during an earlier taping.

Donald Trump is ahead of Scott Walker and Jeb Bush. The media and business mogul is running high in the polls. This clown running is the insurgency's newest sensation. He is a straight shooter on issues but many point out that he offered no detail and it's extremely controversial.

It's going against the establishment. The establishment was embarrassed by the antics of Trump, Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz.
They say this is a historical first. There are 17 active candidates running for the Republican nomination.
Reince Priebus is trying to bring more people into the 90% White party. He doesn't want Republicans to lose this presidential election. He is trying to not step on the third rail and cause a rift. Trump warned the Republicans not to cross him. He threatened to be a spoiler.

This immigration discussion came into play. The issue is now being discussed. The Democrats want to help immigrants become U.S. citizens. They are pushing for comprehensive immigration reform.

Previously the senate passed reform with bipartisan support. But it died in the House.

Now Republicans on this pro-nationalist stance wanted to pass the Kate Steinle law. The law is to put immigrants who commit any form of criminal act in federal time out for five years. The law will also strip funding from cities that Republicans claim are sanctuary cities. The bill died in Congress.

Republicans blamed the Democrats for failure of leadership. It helped them win back Congress. Looks like the Republicans are the ones who are failing in leadership.

Now as Congress is about to leave Washington for their umpteenth vacation, many people are saying that the Republicans are so inept, it's possible the senate could flip back to Democratic control.
Blame game.
But as Republicans scramble for seating, guess what's happening in Ohio. The indictment of an illegal immigrant who murdered a woman. The law had their sights on him. But they blame the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency for letting the ball drop.

CNN reports that Juan Razo pleaded not guilty this week to an attempted murder charge stemming from a violence-filled July 27 that also included a woman's killing, an attempted rape and a shootout with officers in Painesville, Ohio.

Okay, for the concern trolls, who are they gonna blame for the tragedy?

A) Barack Obama
B) Mexico
C) Congress
D) Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency
E) The Suspect
F) All of The Above

If you picked E, then you are correct. The fault of a criminal acts always belongs to the person who committed the crime. It's not the fault of the president, another country, or other entities.

Congress and the president should work together to pass a bipartisan bill to deal with immigration.

The suspect Juan Razo is innocent until proven guilty. He is granted a fair trial among the citizens. He doesn't automatically go to jail and then gets deported. He has an opportunity to face the victims of the criminal act. He also has a right to appeal a decision. Razo does have a right to have an interpreter.

In addition to allegedly shooting and wounding a woman in the arm, police said that Razo, 35, attempted to rape his 14-year-old niece hours before he shot and killed Margaret Kostelnik, a 60-year-old woman who, according to CNN affiliate WEWS, was the secretary for the mayor in nearby Willoughby for nearly three decades.

He will face those charges at a preliminary hearing Monday, the Lake County prosecutor's office said.
Republicans want to strip funding from cities that help immigrants.
Through an interpreter and his court-appointed defense attorney, Razo admitted at his bail hearing that he had no license, no identification, no passport and that his birth certificate was in Mexico.

"I have somebody who we don't know who he is, why he is in this country, why he is here illegally and why he allegedly committed a murder," fumed Judge Mike Cicconetti.

"I can't set a bond high enough."

HOLA, a Latino outreach organization based in Ohio, said it was "distraught and deeply saddened by the (alleged) violent acts committed by Juan Razo," but it said the real issue was Razo's mental illness, not the status of his green card.
Margaret Kostelnik was an assistant to the mayor of Willoughby.
"Juan Razo was not a random illegal alien. His father is a U.S. citizen who has worked in the fields for 40 years. He filed documents for his children over a decade ago and Juan Razo was a beneficiary with an approved petition who has been 'standing in line' for his green card for over 12 years. Thus, this is not an issue about immigration, rather it is about the problems associated with adults with mental illness."

When two Lake County sheriff's deputies approached Razo on July 7 while responding to a call of a suspicious vehicle parked near a golf course, he "was extremely nervous, sweating profusely, and making every attempt to avoid eye contact," Dunlap said. "When questioned, he provided a false name, was unable to give any type of identification, and he admitted to being in the United States illegally."

But because no crime was committed, and Razo had no criminal record, Dunlap said he lacked the authority to detain him, so he said a deputy called the agency that did: U.S. Customs and Border Protection. That's when Dunlap said Razo became uncooperative.
Satirist blames President Barack Obama for this. He is unaware that immigration reform hasn't been fixed in fifty years. 
"As the conversations (between Border agents and Razo) progressed, Razo became less and less communicative, and he would not again admit to the Border Patrol, as he did to the deputies initially, that he was in the United States illegally," Dunlap said Friday. Because he lacked the legal authority to do so, Dunlap said his office "requested the Border Patrol to issue a detainer/hold authorization to keep Razo in custody... (but) Border Patrol would not issue a detainer."

"Without legal authority to further detain Razo, he was released."

But the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said that it was the agency that lacked the authority to detain Razo, and points the finger back at the sheriff.

"Border Patrol agents interviewed this individual via telephone at the request of the Lake County Sheriff's Office ... during that interview, Razo was uncooperative and the agents were unable to determine his immigration status," the statement read. "Without such a determination, the agents had no legal basis to file a detainer to hold the subject. Although the agents offered to meet with the deputies on site and interview the subject in person, the offer was declined and the subject was released."

DHS said that Razo's lack of a record -- and the fact that he had been in the United States so long -- meant he wasn't a top priority.

"The (Obama) Administration has set enforcement priorities to make sure our resources are focused on apprehending and removing convicted criminals, gang members, recent border crossers and the most significant threats to public safety and national security."

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump used Steinle's death to push his campaign's tough stance on immigration, including building a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border. It appears the Razo case would be no different.

"This is a clear indication of why we need a strong wall protecting our border," read a statement CNN affiliate WEWS obtained from campaign spokesman Corey Lewandowski. "Mr. Trump is an outspoken critic of illegal immigrants coming over our borders. That's why it's so important to have a wall that is impenetrable."

HOLA disagreed.

"We are disappointed to see leaders exploiting this tragedy to promote a political agenda," it said.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Margaret Kostelnik.

Demands For Voting Rights Reach The U.S. Territories!

The city of Hagatna. The city is the capital of the U.S. territory of Guam. The residents are U.S. citizens but are banned from voting in presidential elections. HBO's John Oliver pointed out that Guam has a high turnout of voters in their choosing of the nominee for the president. Unfortunately, they can't vote for the nominee. Five territories in the United States have longed for the right to be recognized but Congress is once again inept in doing so.

Republican governors and lawmakers are trying to pass stricter voting laws to keep Blacks and the poor away from the ballot box. Young voters aren't inspired to vote in elections. The candidates running aren't inspiring.

Donald Trump sucks most of the air out of the room. Republicans are feuding with one another.

Conservatives and concern trolls are trying to stop Hillary Clinton's momentum.

Bernie Sanders is getting name recognition and criticism.

The Congress is still unproductive. They can't even pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill. On July 31, the money dries up. Construction workers will lose their jobs and roads will not be completed. Gridlock will continue. Americans will be totally pissed off.

The 2016 U.S. Elections are coming. Many Americans will have a chance to vote. They will pick a successor to President Barack Obama. They will have an opportunity to pick a governor, their representatives and senators.

In the U.S. territories, the residents only elect a governor and a non-voting delegate for the U.S. House of Representatives. They vote in their local elections but no presidential elections.

It's a shame that even in the United States, we still have a long way to go before everyone is counted as equal.

There are five island territories under jurisdiction of the United States. They regard these as territories of the United States.

United States territories are any extent of region under the sovereign jurisdiction of the federal government of the United States.

American Samoa (pop. 55,000 capital Pago Pago)
Guam (pop. 138,000 capital Hagatna)
Northern Mariana Islands (pop. 54,000 capital Saipan Island)
Puerto Rico (pop. 4.5 million capital San Juan)
Virgin Islands of the United States (104,000 capital Charlotte Amalie)

About few months back John Oliver of Last Week Tonight on HBO explained why the need for voting rights doesn't often apply to African-Americans, the poor and 18-24 year old groups.
The flags of U.S. Territories. 1. Puerto Rico 2. Northern Mariana Islands 3. Guam 4. American Samoa 5. Virgin Islands
In these U.S. territories they are banned from voting in presidential elections.

Matter of fact, those born in American Samoa aren't American citizens. They are U.S. nationals. They must apply for a passport with a special documentation saying they are nationals. American Samoa has 55,000 residents living there.

American Samoa is located in the South Pacific Ocean. The territory has one of the largest recruitment of military enlistment. Those who fought for America have no legal right to call themselves U.S. Citizens. Some residents have considered petitioning for independence.
Congresswoman Amata Coleman Radewagen (R-AS) is a non-voting delegate for the House of Representatives. She is the first woman to serve for the U.S. territory of American Samoa. She is the first Republican to be elected. She and many of her constituents are considered U.S. nationals. They are not granted U.S. citizenship.
Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands are commonwealths. They are insular areas where the government advocates free association status. Given that these territories and residents are granted as U.S. Citizens, these territories are semi-independent and often times represented as a country and not a territory.

Puerto Rico, a semi-autonomous territory (regarded as a commonwealth) has a fiscal crisis and the U.S. Congress refuses to give aid to the island. Puerto Rico has over 4.5 million residents living there.

The United States offers assistance to the territories whenever its necessary. But expect it to be another partisan battle between the inept lawmakers who believe the key to balancing a budget is to cut the safety net.

The territories have a non-voting delegate who is assigned on a committee but are barred from general voting. These Representatives are not pleased that Congress failed them as well.

Any thoughts on this?

Do you believe that the Voting Rights Act should apply to the U.S. Territories?

Do you believe that its time for the United States to grant citizenship to the residents of American Samoa?

California Cops Kills Unarmed Man!

Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino's death by the law sparks controversy.

A federal judge ordered a dump of police recordings in the wake of a shooting. The law put slugs in an unarmed man. This video dump has also gotten the attention of the U.S. Justice Department. Once again, men of color are often targeted for assassination by the law.

The order came after several media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times and The Associated Press, requested access to the footage because of the recent rash of police shootings across the country.

The city of Gardena is trying to hold evidence in wake of a 35-year old man being shot by the law.

The victim, 35-year-old Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino and his two friends, were mistaken by the law. The law accused them of stealing a bicycle.

In the footage, two of the men obeyed police commands to raise their hands above their heads. However, the third man, identified as Diaz-Zeferino, was reportedly drunk and possibly confused by the officers' commands. Witnesses said Diaz-Zeferino was trying to tell officers that they were stopping the wrong men, Daily Herald reported.

The cameras recorded Diaz-Zeferino lowering and raising his hands several times before removing a baseball hat from his head and swinging his hands down to his waist. The action prompted the officers to discharge their weapons several times, striking Diaz-Zeferino eight times and his friend, Eutiquio Acevedo Mendez, once.

Paramedics reportedly took almost 10 minutes to respond to the shooting. Mendez survived his injuries, but Diaz-Zeferino was pronounced dead at the scene.

The police were investigating the theft of a bicycle belonging to Diaz-Zeferino's brother at the time of the shooting, according to The Associated Press. Diaz-Zeferino and his two friends were reportedly looking for the bike when the officers approached them.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file charges against the officers in the aftermath of the shootings.

"They made a split-second decision and they were not required to hold fire in order to ascertain whether [Diaz-Zeferino] would, in fact, injure or kill them," Deputy District Attorney Rosa Alarcon wrote in a memo, reported The Los Angeles Times.

However, the two victims' families sued the city of Gardena and ultimately settled the case for $4.7 million. The videos and other evidence in the case remained under seal until Tuesday, when Judge Stephen V. Wilson ruled in favor of the media's request to release the videos.

"We applaud the court's decision to unseal the video," said AP spokesman Paul Colford said. "The Associated Press, joining with other news organizations, believes it's important that the public has access to videos like this to better understand the actions of their police officers."

After the judge's ruling, Gardena Police Chief Ed Medrano issued a statement calling the shooting a tragedy "for all involved." His office had opposed releasing the videos.

"We have thoroughly reviewed our response and have initiated new training, including the tactical use of cover techniques to slow down fast-moving events," Medrano said.

Yet while the civil suit is settled and the videos have been released, the case could be far from closed. Samuel Paz, an attorney for Diaz-Zeferino's family, said he may ask federal prosecutors to investigate whether the shooting constitutes a civil rights violation.

"I think it is really helpful for the public to understand why they would be willing to pay $4.7 million to settle the case when we were on the eve of trial," Paz said. "When the public sees the video and other law enforcement agencies see the video, this is very much a criminal act."

Again, I don't look at those in law enforcement as an enemy. There's good cops. Those who do their jobs as public servants who protect the citizens. Then of course the bad cops. Those who do their jobs as public servants who believe that enforcement of the citizens is the practical way.

The practical way is racial profiling, unauthorized search and seizures of properties, lying on police statements and committing criminal acts under the badge.

You've seen it happen too many times. Too many innocent victims of gun violence. Yes, there were a high number of murders in Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit. Yeah, the nation got to hear about a 7-year old Amari Brown who was gunned down during the holiday weekend. The father a known gang member wouldn't renounce his membership. Yeah, the police and local leaders are trying to stop illegal firearms on the street. But unfortunately, Republicans in the Congress are fucking stupid.

And the concern trolls will always find some tangent against Blacks and Latinos. For every unarmed suspect being brutally killed by police, the concern troll will point to Chicago or Baltimore for their daily "But what about......"!

The concern trolls cry that Black America isn't focused on crimes committed by other Blacks. They believe that gun control is necessary when it comes to Blacks, Hispanics and practicing Muslims.

They would get upset if a Black or Hispanic father kills a White teen. They would get upset if Muslim was protecting himself with a firearm. They would consider them thugs or terrorist.

Concern trolls only support gun rights for White people. Any mentions of gun control will lead to the notion that it will never stop the violence. They complain that President Barack Obama's policies doomed Black America.

But they can't tell you that for most of our "freedom", Blacks have been marginally discriminated in housing, finances, schools, jobs and political capital.

Republicans claim that they've freed the slaves. Now they want us to pay them by taking our guns, the safety net, our right to vote, and our right to voice dissent towards unethical practices done by law enforcement.

World News Today send our condolences to the families of Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino and Amari Brown.

Spider-Man In The Black!

Miles Morales looked up to Peter Parker as a hero. Now he takes on the role as Spider-Man, the world's greatest superhero.

Marvel Productions, a division of Disney Entertainment, Inc has revamped the image of America's favorite wall crawler. The images that are displayed may shake up a timed tradition of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's famous superhero.

Peter Parker is the Spectacular Spider-Man. He was introduced in 1969 and became a face of New York and comic book legend.

Peter Parker became an unlikely superhero after being bitten by a radioactive spider. He wanted to be professional wrestler. So in order to make a little bit of money, he would create this image and call it Spider-Man. After winning a title, he was stiffed of payments by a crooked promoter.

A man robbed the promoter and Parker didn't want no part of it. It was discovered later that his uncle and mentor Ben Parker was murdered by the robber. Parker as Spider-Man went to the area to where the robber was held up.
Peter Parker with Miles Morales.
Spider-Man decided to handle business. He would corner the robber. The robber would tried to shot at the wall crawler but Spider-Man's reactionary powers prevented it.

Spider-Man wanted to murder the robber but had second thoughts on it. He remembered his uncle's words of wisdom. "With great power comes great responsibility!"

Spider-Man would become a crime-fighter. He would take on an paid internship with a newspaper called The Daily Bugle. While he worked at the Bugle, he would attend Empire State University and learn how to master his powers.

Peter Parker would find love, empathy, anger, and death. He would meet his first love Gwen Stacy.

He would learn of her death. He would marry Mary Jane Watson. He would have a family.

During his time, he would take on his greatest foes from The Green Goblin to Doctor Octopus. From the Sandman to Venom, Spider-Man fought them all.

In a series that is slated to premiere in the fall, Peter Parker would die.

And his death sparked a young teen to take the mantle.

Now the torch is passed on to Miles Morales.

Cue the conservative outrage. The new Spider-Man will be released in the fall. It will feature a biracial teen (Black and Hispanic decent) who becomes the wall crawling superhero.

The concept of a black Spider-Man was first discussed a few months before the 2008 election.

When Barack Obama became the President of the United States, Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Axel Alonso describes the catalyst. Miles was introduced in 2011. He is the son of an African American father and Puerto Rican mother,
Spidey meets Spidey. Peter Parker travels the multiverse to find allies in the Secret Wars. He stumbles upon 13-year old Miles Morales. Morales tells Spider-Man about his future and how he wanted to continue the legacy.
This new Spider-Man was considered a possible part of the 2008-09 "Ultimatum" story arc that restructured much of the Ultimate Marvel universe, but those early thoughts were abandoned because the story for that character had not yet been developed.

Bendis said thoughts about the character were further reinforced by African American actor Donald Glover's appearance wearing Spider-Man pajamas in "Anthropology 101", the second season premiere of the television comedy series Community. This was a reference to an unsuccessful online campaign that attempted to secure an audition for the lead role in the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man. Bendis said of Glover, "I saw him in the costume and thought, 'I would like to read that book.' So I was glad I was writing that book."

Okay, comic book fans, what are you thoughts on Miles Morales being the new Spider-Man?

Democratic Congresswoman May Have Sunk Her Senate Bid!

Got a long way to go. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) got caught on camera making a racially insensitive remark about Native Americans in front of Indian-American supporters.

It's a long way to next year's primaries and it already seems like its a wash for a congresswoman.

The Democratic congresswoman from California is under fire after she was caught on camera making an offensive remark towards Native Americans and thus pissed off Indian-Americans.

She is also running for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA).

Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) along with California's Secretary of State Kamala Harris have openly declared their intentions on running for the Democratic nomination.

Whomever wins this event will face the Republican nominee.

So far I call it "LIKELY DEMOCRAT" for the time being. California is a stronghold for Democrats.

But if you're a candidate running for higher office, you know that the cameras from your opponents and the junk food media will follow your every move.

Sanchez, a Latina should have known better.
Swearing in for Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) (right) and her sister Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) (on the left).
Sanchez made a racist gesture mocking Indian-Americans by making a "war cry" that is stereotypically attributed to them. She talked about how she was confused about what to expect in an upcoming meeting with an Indian-American, saying this:

I am going to his office, thinking that I am going to meet with a 'woo woo woo woo' (stereotypical Indian war cry) — Right? ... because he said Indian American.

That shocked the audience and word got to the Democratic National Committee. The Democratic chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) was pissed. Matter of fact, it may hurt Sanchez in fundraising during her primary battle against Harris.

After a dodging a few cameras, Sanchez eventually apologized for her comments.

Sanchez represents Santa Ana towards Anaheim. Her district is considered moderate at best. She is a conservative Democrat and a long time fixture in California. She and her sister Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) have both represented California for years.

Sanchez made slip ups before, but this one managed to catch the junk food media and conservative agitator's attention.

Pregnant Woman Fired Out The Cannon After Employer Wanted Her To Pay The Armed Robber's Loot!

Good food Bayou. The New Orleans based Popeye's is doing damage control after one of its franchises fired a pregnant woman after she was told to payback the loot a robber stole.


Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits are company owned and franchised. The one that fired a woman out of the canon after an armed robbery was franchised. The controversy in suburban Houston managed to make the news.

A pregnant woman was told to pay up the loot after she was robbed at gunpoint at a Channelview Popeye's. According to her, her managers wanted her to fork up the $$$ after she was held up.

She refused and a few days later, she got fired out the cannon. Now she's telling her story to the junk food media and the public is none too happy about it.

Yeah, I understand that no one wants to be a part of an armed robbery. The victims are usually traumatized once they see the silver revolver in their face.

Yeah, companies may have the right to fire you based on work performance.

Obviously, most employers that have register operators tell them to keep it short. Because if you have more than $200 in your register, you're inviting yourself to an armed robbery.

Register operators are often naive on the rule. Say it was a busy day, they were holding a whole lot of $5s and $10s in their register but eliminated the larger denominations. Rather than keep it low, they keep enough of the smaller bills. So if you have over $200 in smaller bills, you're still giving an opportunity to a robber. You could get fired for it.
Marissa Holcomb got fired out the cannon after she got the silver in her face. Her bosses wanted her to payback the loot and she refused to comply.
Understanding that having too much money in your register automatically assures that you not focused on the safety of you and the liability of the company. They understand you were robbed but if you gave them a reason to be robbed, then they focus on your responsibilities as register operator.

It's not fair but it's a part of the economic food chain in capitalism.

Marissa Holcomb was the evening manager at Popeye's when the sliver was pointed in her face during a busy March 31 sales period.

Holcomb, who is a mother of three with a fourth child on the way, had a meeting with Z & H Foods owner Amin Dhanani on Wednesday, a day after our original story aired of her firing.

"He just apologized and pretty much offered me if I wanted to go back to his business and work there again," she said.

Dhanani argued she was fired because she broke policy multiple times by leaving too much money in the register.

Holcomb argued it was a busy Tuesday when they offer a 2-piece chicken meal for $1.19 and she moved money as fast as she could.

The unidentified robber got away with nearly $400.

Will Marisa take the job back?

Of course, this controversy managed to put Popeye's in a negative light. Usually most companies don't like the negative publicity coming from the social media when it comes to a social ill (i.e women, minorities and the disabled).

One Monumental Handshake Leads To Conservative Outrage!

Barack Obama and Raul Castro shake hands as Ban Ki-moon looks on, before the inauguration of the VII Summit of the Americas in Panama City
The historical handshake between U.S. president Barack Obama and Cuban president Raul Castro signals progress. Conservatives are foaming at the mouth over this.

President Barack Obama heads down to Panama for the Summit of Americas. During his visit the junk food media is covering the monumental handshake with Cuba's president Raul Castro.

The powerful symbolism of a substantial exchange Saturday between the leaders with the leadership of the Western Hemisphere gathered around them could signal progress. Both sides are still working through nettlesome issues that would lead to the opening of embassies in Washington and Havana, the first stage in a new diplomatic relationship.

The United States is turning the page and willing to engage with Cuba. The president will talk to Castro and consider lifting Cuba off the list of state sponsored terrorist nations.

Obama believes the time has come to lift the embargo against the Communist nation. The conservative outrage is off the chain. They believe that Cuba is still a threat to the United States.

The president is trying to ease tension with the island nation. It's been over 50 years, and many young voters support the idea of talking to Cuba and Iran. Many old school Cubans, the racist right, and agitators are foaming at the mouth complaining about how shaking hands with Castro is disgusting.

Cuba's Raul Castro and his brother the former dictator Fidel have been in power for years. According to the media, their regime has killed thousands of Cubans during the revolution.

The peak of conflict happened when then president John F. Kennedy launched the Bay of Pigs invasion.

The conservatives believe that this appeasing, anti-Semitic, Socialist, Commie, aloof, racist, Muslim Obama is weak on foreign policy. They believe that talking to Iran and Cuba is treasonous.

The Republicans threaten to derail any talks with Cuba and Iran.

Defying the odds is makes Barack Obama a great president. He isn't afraid to engage with the countries the junk food media label as enemies.

The Republicans claim that Obama is willing to talk to "our enemies" and "shun our friends".

This stems from the Benjamin Netanyahu fiasco. The controversial Israeli prime minister is trying to encourage American lawmakers to push for more sanctions against Iran. The global powers are coming to an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program.

The Republicans are trying to stall or pass legislation to derail this historical deal.

Will Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appear on GOP Sundays to bitch about the handshake?
