Tamron Hall Leaving NBC And MSNBC!

Tamron Hall rather quit than bow to a divisive agitator like Megyn Kelly.

Tamron Hall is pretty damn pissed that a divisive beeyotch took her spot. So instead of putting the ink on the contract, she opted out for other venues. There's a report that she is departing from NBC News and MSNBC.

She co-hosted the 9am spot on Today and anchored the 11am news on MSNBC. The spot will go to Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News host who abruptly left the network this year. Kelly who has a history of saying controversial things like "Santa Claus and Jesus are White".

This is a slap to the face of Black journalists.

The news hit the webs and it's gotten attention.

"Tamron is an exceptional journalist, we valued and enjoyed her work at Today and MSNBC and hope she would decide to stay," NBC News said in a statement. "We are disappointed that she has chosen to leave, but we wish her all the best."

Her last day was today and her contract is over this month.

"The last ten years have been beyond anything I could have imagined, and I'm grateful," Hall said in a statement. "I'm also very excited about the next chapter. To all my great colleagues, I will miss you and I will be rooting for you."

I am not a happy person. Tamron was a very attractive, professional and serious journalist. I am disappointed that she is leaving the network that she helped grow for ten years.

Hackers Share Dem Lawmaker's XXX photos!

Congresswoman got hit by a cyberbully.

I will address the controversy of cyberbullies. I am frustrated with ignorance online. They have created websites devoted to exposing racists and cyberbullies. It's not easy to find a digital footprint, but in the age of Donald Trump, the need for being politically correct should merit accountability for such actions.

Actress Leslie Jones was attacked by some internet troll and his merry band of bigots. He was dismissed from Twitter after this. I was going to address this controversy but this one overshadowed it for the moment.

A Democratic lawmaker who represents a U.S. territory was the focus of a smear campaign. I don't know what happened, but it's a sign of what happens when you share things that should be private through your phone or computer.

Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) is finding herself with an embarassment. Now she is calling upon the U.S. Capitol Police and the FBI's cyber crime unit to find out who leaked a video of Plaskett and her husband taking things a little freaky.

She and her then husband made a sex tape and it got leaked on social media.

One of the photos that leaked to the junk food media has Plaskett sharing her goodies

Some of the videos that were leaked were really XXX. I mean it was so racy it's practically got her attention.

"I am shocked and deeply saddened that someone would stoop to such a level as to invade my marriage and the love of my family in an attempt to besmirch me personally," said Plaskett in a presser.

She added, "Private photographs shared between my husband and me, as well as a private playful video of our family, including one of our children, were illegally obtained and disseminated via the internet".

The video was posted on Facebook before it was quickly deleted. It also showed her husband Jonathan Buckney-Small wearing eyeshadow and lipstick.

Again, I don't care what people do in their bedrooms. I mean this is some real fucked up shit to have a public servant get caught up in a sex scandal. I mean her opponents are likely going to use this against her.

Plaskett who is a nonvoting delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, an unincorporated territory in the Caribbean Sea. She won a seat in Congress in 2015. She declared her intentions to run for reelection.

Also in the junk food media, Garry Marshall the famed entertainer and producer of Happy Days and Mork & Mindy, Laverne & Shirley, The Odd Couple and Pretty Woman passed away yesterday. He will sorely be missed. A part of my childhood died along with Saturday Morning Cartoons.

And not to forget the Hawaii Democratic lawmaker who died of cancer. Rep. Mark Takai passed away at the age of 49. He was suffering from pancreatic cancer. He would not finish out his term.

He was a first term congressman.

World News Today send our condolences to Garry Marshall and Rep. Mark Takai.

Joy Reid Back On MSNBC!

Joy Ann Reid is back on MSNBC.
Looks like Melissa Harris-Perry ended up with pie on her face. Her friend Joy Reid now holds the spot for weekend programming on MSNBC. She will replace Harris Perry for the 10am-12pm slot.

Joy Reid was hosting a show during the 3pm-4pm weekdays slot. Reid had previously hosted the weekday daytime show, The Reid Report which was canceled in September. She was bumped for Brian Williams, the disgraced NBC News anchor who hosted The Nightly News. Reid didn't get mad she lost her gig. She went forth and earned praise for her coverage of the primaries and was rewarded with a time slot again.

Phil Griffin loved how Joy handled the program during the primaries.

When Melissa Harris-Perry made her infamous letter saying that Nerdland (known as Melissa Harris-Perry) was being canned for political coverage, I was shocked. MSNBC fired her out the cannon after the rant went viral.

I was thinking that MSNBC was sidelining one of the best talents on the liberal leaning network.

Joy was thankful to MSNBC and her former. She vowed to continue the discussions that Melissa Harris-Perry brought to the forefront.

Joy Reid filled in for Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell during their time off.

Congratulations to Joy Ann Reid. World News Today wishes her well on her journey.

Michael Strahan Playing 4th & Goal!

Frenemies. Michael Strahan leaves in two weeks. Kelly Ripa now has to find a permanent host.

People Magazine reports that former NFL star and celebrity agitator Michael Strahan is leaving Live! with Kelly & Michael in less than two weeks. He decided he can't do it any longer now that Kelly Ripa is no longer speaking to him.

He will depart from Live on May 13.

Ripa was hurt by the announcement of Strahan leaving the popular AM show for Good Morning America. She took a leave of absence after the news broke. She returned Tuesday to give a brutal takedown of ABC.

She did say some nice things about Strahan.

He will take on a full time role as an anchor on GMA.

This comes as one of the most shocking moments in TV history. The four years that Strahan had on Live! were memorable. This one should be the most memorable of the former Superbowl champion.

Now it's 1st & 10 and he's leading the way to a better career.

Strahan also is working on hosting duties on Fox NFL Sunday and NASCAR on Fox. He also is working on AM agitation program. He is going to host Dick Clark's $100,000 Pyramid.


Michael Strahan's departure from Live! with... Good or Bad?

I think it's a good step forward for Michael Strahan. He could help GMA ratings.
I think that Michael Strahan leaving Live! is a bad idea. He is too inexperienced at hosting.
I think that Kelly Ripa's behavior towards Michael Strahan caused this to happen.
It's a good thing Michael Strahan is gone. Kelly Ripa had better engagements with other hosts.
Do Riddles


Here's Kelly Ripa's response.

Melissa Harris-Perry Abruptly Quits MSNBC!

Melissa Harris-Perry dropped from MSNBC.

Looks like your #Nerdland may be over at MSNBC. It seems like Melissa Harris-Perry abruptly parted ways with the network. The network has primarily been focused on the 2016 presidential race and its given fodder time to covering the campaign rallies of Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

The host says that the network scrapped the show for political coverage. She is not happy about it.

She posted on her official social media page and the websites picked up on it.

Dearest Nerds,

As you know by now, my name appears on the weekend schedule for MSNBC programming from South Carolina this Saturday and Sunday. I appreciate that many of you responded to this development with relief and enthusiasm.

To know that you have missed working with me even a fraction of how much I've missed working with all of you is deeply moving. However, as of this morning, I do not have any intention of hosting this weekend. Because this is a decision that affect all of you, I wanted to take a moment to explain my reasoning.

Some unknown decision-maker presumably Andy Lack (of NBC News) or Phil Griffin (of MSNBC), has added my name to this spreadsheet but nothing has change in the posture of the MSNBC leadership team towards me or towards our show. Putting me on air seems to be a decision being made to save face because there is a growing chorus of questions from our viewers about my notable absence from MSNBC coverage. Social media has noted the dramatic change in editorial tone and racial composition of MSNBC's on-air coverage. In addition, Dylan Byers of CNN has made repeated inquiries with MSNBC's leadership and with me about the show and what appears to be its cancellation. I have not responded to reporters or social media inquiries.

However, I am not willing to appear on air in order to quell concerns about the disappearance of our show and our voice.

Here is the reality: our show was taken - without comment or discussion or notice - in the midst of an election season. After four years of building an audience, developing a brand, and developing a trust with our viewers, we were effectively and utterly silenced.

Now, MSNBC would like me to appear for four inconsequential hours to read news that they deem relevant without returning to our team any of the editorial control and authority that makes MHP Show distinctive.

The purpose of this decision seems to be to provide cover for MSNBC, not to provide voice for MHP Show. I will not be used as a tool for their purposes. I am not a token, mammy, or a little brown bobble head. I am not owned by Lack, Griffin, or MSNBC. I love our show. I want it back. I have wept more tears than I can count and I find this deeply painful, but I don't want back on air at any cost. I am only willing to return when that return happens under certain terms.

Undoubtedly, television nurtures the egos of those of us who find ourselves in front of the bright lights and big cameras. I am sure ego is informing my own pain in this moment, but there is a level of professional decency, respect, and communication that has been denied this show for years. And the utter insulting absurdity of the past few weeks exceeds anything I can countenance.

I have stayed in the same hotels where MSNBC had been broadcasting in Iowa, in New Hampshire, and in South Carolina, yet I have been shut out from coverage. I have a PhD in political science and have taught American voting and elections at some of the nation's top universities for nearly two decades, yet I have been deemed less worthy to weigh in than relative novices and certified liars. I have hosted a weekly program on this network for four years and contributed to election coverage on this network for nearly eight years, but no on on the third floor has even returned an email, called me, or initiated or responded to any communication of any kind from me for nearly a month. It is profoundly hurtful to realize that I work for people who find my considerable expertise and editorial judgment valueless to the coverage they are creating.

While MSNBC may believe that I am worthless, I know better. I know who I am. I know why MHP Show is unique and valuable. I will not sell short myself or this show. I am not hungry for empty airtime, I care only about substantive, meaningful, and autonomous work. When we can do that, I will return - not a moment earlier. I am deeply sorry for the ways that this decision makes life harder for all of you. You mean more to me than you can imagine.

Yours always,

Melissa

It seems like MSNBC is sticking to the liberal agitators of the primetime. Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell are stable for the time being.

MSNBC is turning into strictly news format. After it took a rise in 2013, it sank again in the ratings.

CNN is still cruising in the second place spot. But Fox News is beating the networks in a 2:1 margin.

I've always enjoyed Melissa Harris-Perry's show. What could happen now that she's departed from the network in such a fashion. Will you watch the network?

MarShawn McCarrel Passed Away!

Black Lives Matter activist MarShawn McCarrel passed away.


The Black Lives Matter movement have went to social media to show condolences to a member of their team. He went to social media to tell the world that he's struggled for many but he felt failure came upon him.

MarShawn McCarrel who was a high profile activist in the wake of the John Crawford and Tamir Rice shootings in Ohio, was found dead. He died of a self-inflict slug. He was found on the steps of the Ohio statehouse.

"We don't have any evidence to know the reason why he did it," a State Highway Patrol rep tells the Columbus Dispatch. But the Washington Post notes McCarrel's social media posts "oscillated between joy and despair." "I love y'all," the 23-year-old tweeted Monday morning. At noon came his final tweet: "Let the record show that I pissed on the statehouse before I left." Then this Facebook post around 3pm: "My demons won today. I'm sorry."

A former teacher describes McCarrel as the student he was proudest of in his 27 years on the job. "I saw him as a shining star in the future of civil rights." Indeed: McCarrel was named one of just 15 Radio One Hometown Champions, attended the NAACP's Image Awards on Friday, helped organize Black Lives Matter protests in Ohio after the shooting of Michael Brown, founded a youth mentorship program, and worked with the homeless. "He had so much to do," his mom tells the Dispatch. "He forgot to take time for himself." A fellow activist says "the statehouse was no accident. We've been working so hard, and yet the conditions for the people in our community ... are still so hard." McCarrel was "an activist to his soul," a friend adds on Facebook. He "fought tirelessly in Ohio and beyond for the rights of oppressed people … Brother—we'll keep fighting. You rest, now."

World News Today sends our condolences to the family of MarShawn MacCarrel.

Suicide Cop's Wife Indicted On Fraud!

Joe Gliniewicz and wife Melodie. She is being held on charges of fraud and embezzlement. "G.I. Joe" created a media shit storm when he staged his own suicide and penned it on the Black man.

[Charles Joseph] "Joe" Gliniewicz, the Fox Lake, Illinois cop who staged his own death was a major story back in 2015. It came around the time that conservatives were attacking the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The conservatives were trying to link the activists to the murder of law enforcement.

Gliniewicz who many called "G.I. Joe", was a corrupt lawman. He was hanging around with the prostitutes. He was reckless with his service weapon. He was a drunk and some said that he would drink on the job. What may have tipped the FBI, was his record as an officer. He allegedly embezzled from the charities for youth services. He was taking paid time off without recording it. He also went out his way to have his wife and son get a piece of the action.

His wife was cheating on him with other men in the town and he allowed it. His son was involved in drugs and the whole town knew about it. They said that the Gliniewicz were swingers.

When he was about to be caught up, he threatened a Fox Lake village official.
50 is the new 30. Melodie Gliniewicz's mugshot shows she had some plastic surgery. She doesn't look like a 51 year old woman.
Allegedly, Melodie was using some of the embezzled cash for a makeover. Now she's being indicted on corruption by usage of her husband's theft of money from a group dedicated to getting kids interested in careers in law enforcement.

Melodie Gliniewicz, 51, say she is a "victim" of his "secret actions and looks forward to her day in court to show the world her innocence." That might be an uphill battle, says an ABC legal analyst. Joe Gliniewicz had posted plenty of photos to social media showing him and his wife enjoying their lavish lifestyle, and "it's going to show that she should have had reason to believe that these funds were stolen."

She faces six felony counts, including money laundering and disbursing charitable funds for personal benefit. Following Joe Gliniewicz's suicide on Sept. 1, investigators uncovered evidence that he had been embezzling money from the Fox Lake Police Explorer Post for years to pay for a lifestyle that far exceeded his $96,000-a-year salary, ABC7 reports. Joe Gliniewicz led the group, and his wife held "a fiduciary role as an adult adviser."

But the junk food media gave you the impression that Gliniewicz was a "hero". He penned the ambush on two white guys and Black guy.
Corrupt cop killed himself so his family would receive perks.
Gliniewicz is innocent until proven guilty.

The junk food media searched for weeks for the suspects. It was getting major play on the three networks, CNN, MSNBC and of course that right wing network.

When it turned out that the FBI said that ambush was a staged attack, conservatives got egg on their faces.

Of course, they continue to this day to attack #BlackLivesMatter as being anti-cop. They concern troll issues about "Black on Whatever" crime. They try to tie President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to the movement.



The Birth Of A Nation!

Nat Turner 

Actor Nate Parker directs and produces a movie based on the life of rebellion leader Nat Turner. The Birth of A Nation is coming to theaters and it's already getting praise. Given the situation surrounding the Oscars and the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry, many see this movie as a perfect timing.

The movie was not inspired by the KKK-theme movie produced by D.W. Griffith.

Parker who plays the role of slave-turned Baptist leader Nat Turner. Turner lead a revolt across Virginia killing White slave owners and led many slaves to the North. The Southampton revolt (known as the Nat Turner Rebellion) in August 1831. Led by Nat Turner, rebel slaves killed anywhere from 55 to 65 people, the highest number of fatalities caused by any slave uprising in the Southern United States. The rebellion was put down within a few days, but Turner survived in hiding for more than two months afterwards. The rebellion was effectively suppressed at Belmont Plantation on the morning of August 23, 1831.

There was widespread fear in the aftermath of the rebellion, and White militias organized in retaliation against the slaves. The state executed 56 slaves accused of being part of the rebellion. In the frenzy, many non-participant slaves were punished. At least 100 African Americans, and possibly up to 200, were murdered by militias and mobs in the area. Across the South, state legislatures passed new laws prohibiting education of slaves and free black people, restricting rights of assembly and other civil rights for free black people, and requiring white ministers to be present at all worship services.

Turner eluded capture by hiding in the woods until October 30, when he was discovered by a farmer named Benjamin Phipps, where he was hiding in a hole covered with fence rails. While awaiting his trial, Turner confessed his knowledge of the rebellion to attorney Thomas Ruffin Gray.
Nate Parker plays the role of Nat Turner, the rebellion leader of the Southampton massacre.
On November 5, 1831, he was tried for "conspiring to rebel and making insurrection", convicted and sentenced to death. Turner was hanged on November 11 in Jerusalem, Virginia. His body was flayed, beheaded and quartered. Turner received no formal burial; his headless remains were either buried unmarked or kept for scientific use. His skull is said to have passed through many hands, last being reported in the collection of a planned civil rights museum for Gary, Indiana, despite calls for its burial.

In the aftermath of the insurrection there were 45 slaves, including Turner, and five free blacks tried for insurrection and related crimes in Southampton. Of the 45 slaves tried, 15 were acquitted. Of the 30 convicted, 18 were hanged, while 12 were sold out of state. Of the five free blacks tried for participation in the insurrection, one was hanged, while the others were acquitted.

Soon after Turner's execution, Thomas Ruffin Gray took it upon himself to publish The Confessions of Nat Turner, derived partly from research done while Turner was in hiding and partly from jailhouse conversations with Turner before trial. This work is considered the primary historical document regarding Nat Turner.

The film The Birth of a Nation will be released to select theaters. The 2016 film uses the same title as "the title of D.W. Griffith's 1915 KKK propaganda film in a very purposeful way", said The Hollywood Reporter. Nate Parker said his film had the same title "ironically, but very much by design".

It's gotten praise for the graphic and historical take on Turner's rebellion. It is written, produced, and directed by Nate Parker, who also stars as Nat Turner. Parker wrote the screenplay and petitioned financiers to invest in the film. It ultimately had a $10 million production budget and was filmed in the U.S. state of Georgia in May 2015. Along with Parker, the film features Armie Hammer, Aja Naomi King, Jackie Earle Haley, Penelope Ann Miller, and Gabrielle Union.

The film premiered in competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2016. Fox Searchlight Pictures bought worldwide rights to the film in a $17.5 million deal, the largest deal at the film festival to date.

Once Again #OscarsSoWhite Is Trending!


If it wasn't for #BlackLivesMatter, I wouldn't have notice this stuff. I've normally avoided watching award shows.

I don't care for them.

But now I am going to start caring because it's starting to look a little more Whiter and less colorful.

And for that, it spawned the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite.

Again, the Academy Awards is facing harsh scrutiny over nominating only White actors, directors and producers over the Black and Hispanic talent.

None of the 20 main spots were given to any actors of color. Especially the Black ones.

The Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is about to be boycotted.

Straight Outta Compton, Creed, Concussion, Beasts of No Nation and The Hateful Eight were snubbed.

Me and S. Baldwin see this as a disgrace of talent and deliberate attempts to undermine the great feats of Black, Hispanic and Asian actors and actresses.

If this is supposed to be LIBERAL HOLLYWOOD, wondering who's in charge of the nominating committee?

There are four acting categories with 20 slots each. Not one of those categories have a Black actor or director nominated for the award.

Will the #BlackLivesMatter activists try to convince Chris Rock bow out of hosting duties?

Will Chris Rock address the controversy?

Does The Academy Awards Nominations Deliberately Shut Out Black Entertainers?
Yeah. I believe it's terrible for Hollywood to shut out great talent.
Nope. It's not a big deal. Maybe the talent wasn't good enough for the nomination.

Jahi McMath Still Living On A Prayer!

The state of California wants the family of Jahi McMath to pull the plug on her. They declared her legally "brain dead" after she had severe brain damage after a tonsil pull. The family vows to keep their daughter alive.

Jahi's mother Nailah Winkfield is suing the state of California for pushing a death certificate on a breathing human being. 

Nailah filed a malpractice lawsuit against Children's Hospital Oakland and against the surgeon who performed Jahi's surgery indicating they were prepared to argue as part of the lawsuit that the young girl is not dead.

Jahi was full of life. She had a raspy throat and her family believed that a tonsil pull would be simple surgery. It turns out that the surgery went wrong. She was bleeding from the mouth which lead to a blood clot, in turn gave her a heart attack and a stroke. 

The internal injuries left her paralyzed and brain dead.

Naliah doesn't give up on her daughter. She says as long as she's breathing, she's alive and no piece of paper determines her daughter's life.

"I want her to have the same rights as any other disabled kid," Naliah said.

Jahi's mother says her daughter show some signs of life, including the twitching of fingers and toes.

Medical experts said those movements could be spasms and reflexes commonly seen in corpses. They say Jahi McMath shows hardly any brain activity and is clinically dead.

But her mother isn't ready to give up. Winfield said she recently sold her Oakland home and is living off those rapidly dwindling proceeds.

"I won't give up on Jahi, because I'm her mother," Winkfield said. 

Medical malpractice is a legal offense that occurs when a medical professional fails to perform his or her medical duties due to negligence, thereby causing injury to a patient.

Republican candidate Dr. Ben Carson had some medical malpractice as a pediatric neurosurgeon.

Luck Ran Out!

2-year-old’s father: ‘My boy got shot, my boy got shot’
Violence doesn't take a break. A boy was shot in Dayton, Ohio. 

In my community, the junk food media is reporting on an incident in which a two year old boy was shot by an unknown assailant. The boy was a passenger in a vehicle that was hit by a hail of rounds.

The vehicle would crash on a local Dayton, Ohio road.

The victim is listed in critical condition. The Dayton Police are seeking information to why this senseless tragedy.

It's not something I take pride in discussing. It callous and disgusting that a man would shoot an innocent child.

The victim's father may have been the intended target.

The shooting happened on a busy road called Gettysburg Avenue near the intersection of James H. McGee Boulevard.

World News Today sends our prayers to the family of the victim.

It's unfortunate on the eve of Christmas, gun violence never takes a break. It's the stuff that keeps on going and of course, the U.S. Congress will look the other way.

Standout Football Star Sacrifices Himself In Gang Violence!

Fulton High School football player Zaevion Dobson, 15, lost his life Thursday night while trying to protect three girls from gunfire  in their Knoxville, Tennessee neighborhood 
A heroic action cost this young teen his life. Now Americans are hoping that this drives attention to gun violence.

Gang violence should be considered domestic terrorism. I believe that the junk food media has labels a tragedy based on race, religion and political views.

There was a standout football star who shielded his friends from a hail of gunfire. The student was destined for a bright future. His life was taken away by senseless gun violence.

The teen and his friends weren't the intended target. The neighbor was and he faced his fate too.

Three young girls tearfully thank Zaevion Dobson for saving their lives. The Knoxville Police and FBI are investigating the death of the teen after a rivalry between two factions.

Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch says the 15-year-old Fulton High School football player died after he used his body to shield the two girls and a boy from gunfire on Thursday night.

"By the time it was over, we had went inside," another girl said. "I pulled on him and said 'You can get up now' but he didn't get up. So I just went upstairs, and by the time I came back to make sure everything was real, (I saw) he was shot in the head."

This event started when the suspect Brandon Perry's mother Lisa was struck by gunfire at her home earlier that night.

Brandon Perry lurked in the neighborhood waiting for the alleged shooter. He and a couple of his boys let the bullets fly in the neighborhood. The bullets went flying and everyone took cover. He and his brother Zack along with three others were sitting on a porch at 7pm Thursday night talking about their winter break.

We don't know if the suspects knew Zaevion or the other victims. But the attack was random.
Two teenage girls who were saved by the heroic actions of Zaevion Dobson, spoke to Local 8 News on Friday night.
The young girls who's names were withheld said Zae saved their lives. The law is searching for the suspects.
The family and his friends call Zaevion, Zae. The community praised the heroic deeds of Zae. They condemned the suspect and those who were involved in the attack.

Perry eventually met his fate after the actual targets managed to buck him on the road. His ride crashed into a home of a sleeping resident.

Perry would die of his injuries. Perry's buddy Chris Bassett is held in the Knox County lockup. He's been held on being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and violation of probation. He hasn't got his "get out of jail" free card. He may charged for the murder. Bassett is innocent until proven guilty.

His death attracted national attention. It also attracted conservative ire by mentions of "Black on whatever" violence by concern troll bigots like that asshat Colin Flaherty.
Alleged gunman lost his life to gunfire. Brandon Perry was gunned down after he was ambushed.
Zae had a future in football. His coach from Fulton High praised the boy for being a "leader" in the community.

The mayor of Knoxville, Madeline Rogero express sympathies to Zae's family.

There was another tragedy in the city. A shoplifting suspect was bucked in a hail of gunfire after the law said he tried to mow down law enforcement.

Again, I don't want to jump to conclusion on whether deadly force was justified in this. But given the Zack Hammond controversy, I don't take the law's perspective of the shooting as credible. Until they release the video or dash camera of what happened. I can't believe this.

Amos Frerichs was shoplifting from a shopping mall. The deputies followed Frerichs into the parking lot, where he "aggressively resisted arrest," according to KPD.

The deputies tried to tase him, but Frerichs managed to get into his car. That's when he ran over both deputies, KPD says. One deputy got up and shot into the car, hitting Frerichs. Police say the suspect hit at least two parked cars.

Investigators say Frerichs was trying to hit the deputy again when he was shot.

Frerichs died at the scene. Both deputies were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The officers are Evan Rogers and reserve officer Geziel DosSantos. Both have been with KCSO since 2012.

No one else was injured. These officers only been on the force for less than five years. They claim that the suspect tried to mow them over. They didn't have dash camera or body cameras on them.

The junk food media says that he has a criminal record. The record has no gun criminality. There were minor assaults and thefts. Nothing that upped the ante to violent criminal.

The law bucks shoplifting suspect. They claim he tried run them over with his ride.
Frerichs has a long criminal history that includes multiple charges and arrests in Knox, Blount and Loudon Counties. He's been arrested in Knox County for multiple assaults and thefts.

He has multiple outstanding arrest warrants against him, including two assaults and two thefts in Knox County, according to police.

KPD believes Frerichs tried to get away because of these warrants.

Police are still investigating the shooting.

Zaevion Dobson will likely be mentioned at the State of the Union Address. This will be President Barack Obama's final address to the nation. He will address gun violence, the NUMBER ONE THREAT in the United States.

World News Today sends our condolences to the family of Zaevion Dobson, Brandon Perry and Amos Frerichs. We send our prayers to Lisa Perry and wish her a speedy recovery.

T-G-T Ends The Show!

Tyrese announced T-G-T broke up. Tyrese and Tank kicked Ginuwine to the curb.

Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank formed the supergroup T-G-T in 2007. The three were close friends and Tyrese was best man at Ginuwine's wedding, but TGT represented their first collaboration.

The Three Kings album was released a couple of years ago.

The group released their album on Atlantic Records. Things got rocky from the start. It's the fault of a guy who once told women to ride his "Pony".

T-G-T officially broke up. Tyrese took to social media to announce the breakup.

I believe that Ginuwine was responsible for the group having broken up.

There's a video on YouTube showing Tyrese and Tank visibly angry at Ginuwine. Ginuwine was either too drunk or high when he performed their single "I Need" on live television.
Ginuwine Calls Tyrese a 'Diva' for Announcing Group Breakup on Instagram
Tyrese says Ginuwine's antics broke the group up. Ginuwine blasted Tyrese and Tank for being drama queens.
Ginuwine apparently was going bonkers. He was married to Solé since 2003. That 12 year marriage came to an end when she filed for divorce this year. They have two children. She has two from a previous relationship. Ginuwine has four other children before and after his marriage to Solé.

Tyrese broke the news on social media, saying it wasn't anyone's fault ... but he and Tank were moving on without Ginuwine.

That announcement didn't sit well with Ginuwine, who immediately blasted Tyrese for airing their dirty laundry. He dismissed it as a "p***y move" from a diva. His advice to Tyrese -- "Call me don't try and manipulate the situation publicly wack wack wack of you."

What Happened To Nicholas Robertson?

A father of three was killed by the LAPD while on his knees.

The Los Angeles Police Department once again faces another fatal encounter with a suspect. The suspect was shot and killed by two lawmen 33 times. Many say that the suspect was on his knees crawling when they kept firing on him. He would die on the scene.

The LAPD was called to the Lynwood neighborhood on reports of a man firing a firearm in the air.

When they responded to the threat, they noticed that Nicholas Robertson was heading in another direction. They confront him on the suspicion of having a firearm.

According to the LAPD, the deputies told him to drop his piece.

They said that he pointed the piece at them. So they had no choice but to fire upon him.

It seems like the lawman may face some heat. A witness decided to whip out the camera and record the encounter. It seems like Nicholas was walking away from the suspects.

The witness zoomed in on the suspect as the LAPD starts plugging.

KTLA reports that once on the ground, the camera panned to focus solely on the man, who crawls next to the gas station and away from the gunfire.
The law starts plugging.
After a pause in audible gunfire, at least a dozen additional shots are heard.

The camera then panned back to two deputies, who both had arms raised and were pointing guns in the man's direction.

At least one of the deputies then fired additional shots before the video ends.

It was not clear from the video if both deputies had fired their weapon, but when slowed down, more than 30 shots can be heard.

Hernandez could only confirm multiple shots were fired.

Investigators were aware of at least one video that recorded the fatal incident.
On the ground and they're still plugging.
"My understanding is the suspect does, is in one of the frames, but it's not very clear what the suspect's actions are," LAPD lieutenant Eddie Hernandez said. "The video is just one piece of evidence that's going to be examined as a part of a comprehensive, protracted, long investigation, and that'll be analyzed against the physical evidence, the witness statements and the deputies’ statements."

Many residents are crying foul. They believed that the lawmen used excessive force.

Now the Los Angeles prosecutor has placed the lawmen on ice pending a preliminary hearing.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Nicholas Robertson.

This video is disturbing.

Couple Got The N****r Service!



A couple in Washington was being brutalized by a group of men who didn't approve of their relationship. The couple didn't know their attackers, but they've figured that since they're an interracial couple, the men attacked them.

Serigne Diouf and his girlfriend were leaving a local bar in Bellingham. They got into a confrontation with three White guys outside the bar. They get to shouting and yelling at one another.

Next thing you know, the suspect, Mario Zamora five knuckles rolls the woman in the face.

Then the video goes right into Serigne running after the suspect and his friends. Then of course, the girlfriend gets up and tries to retaliate.

The law came on the scene told everyone involved to break it up. The person who recorded this didn't bother to intervene. He wanted to post it to the hip-hop agitator WorldStarHipHop.

At first, the law did not watch the video, and declined to file charges against anyone at the time. The law believed that everyone was drunk and that no one was seriously injured.

Serigne said he doesn't touch the Jesus juice. Why they didn't bust the guy who put a shiner on his girlfriend's face?

The law later reviewed the video and decided to arrest Zamora on suspicion of fourth-degree assault. The other men were not expected to face charges.

Police Sgt. Mike Scanlon told The Bellingham Herald that the men could not be charged with a hate crime just for using racial slurs.

Diouf, who is black, insisted that the men had ran up on them because they were a mixed-race couple. He said that he still wants to see all of the men charged.

"Because I am a black man they jumped on me and called me a NIGGER," he observed.

The Wiz Live Poster NBC 2015.jpg
NBC is rolling out a big event for the holiday. The reboot of the famed Broadway show is coming back to the screens with an all-star African American cast. Produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, it will premiere on the network.

Will it be a hit or a flop?

The cast includes Shanice Williams, Ne-Yo, Amber Riley, Elijah Kelley, Common, Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, David Alan Grier and Uzo Aduba.

It will premiere on the network on December 3rd.

It's been 40 years since The Wiz. The 1975 Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical was an early example of Broadway's mainstream acceptance of works with an all-black cast.

The Broadway show is an urbanized retelling of L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the context of modern African-American culture.

Stephanie Mills, who once played Dorothy in The Wiz will make a guest star role as Aunt Em.

The musical inspired a motion picture film that featured Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Lena Horne and Michael Jackson. It was viewed as a flop but remains a cult classic among the fans.

New Orleans Good Samaritan Shot By Robber!

Tulane University medical student Peter Gold is fighting for his life after he stopped a mugger. The mugger shot him and left him for dead.

In the city of New Orleans, the law is pleased that a perennial resident of the iron college is caught.

The junk food media turned its attention to the tragic shooting of a good samaritan. The Turlane University medical student, 25 year old Peter Gold gets shot in the stomach by this ignorant piece of shit for doing a good deed.

Peter witness an unknown woman being robbed by 21 year old Euric Cain.

Cain was wearing a hoodie and ran up on a drunken woman and tried to jack her up. Peter was driving nearby when he saw Cain try to take her to his ride. Peter hit the brakes, put the vehicle in reverse and then turned into the one way street to confront the suspect.

Most in law enforcement recommend you don't approach a suspect if they're armed. Peter knew the risk but he thought he could scare the suspect into running off.
Euric Cain was the guy on surveillance. 
Cain was not happy about the confrontation. He lets the woman go and runs up on Peter. He demands Peter give up his properties. Peter complied. When Cain found that Peter didn't carry a lot, he would shoot Peter in the stomach with a semi automatic firearm.

Cain wanted to put Peter down. He aims and fires. But nothing comes out. He tries again. Nothing happens. Cain reacts to the firearm jamming. He took off running leaving Peter bleeding to death.

Peter was rushed to the hospital where he is being treated for his injuries. His family can't confirm the condition of Peter but he said that its "guarded".

The New Orleans Police and U.S. Marshals were determined to grab this guy.

Cain was just arrested earlier this month for possession of a stolen cellphone during a carjacking.

He was out on bail when he committed this criminal act.
No remorse for his actions.
Cain faces attempted first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping and weapons while on disability charges. There was a reward for $12,500 for the capture of Cain.

"Now he will likely spend the rest of his life in the jail, as he should," New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu said in a press conference.

New Orleans Chief of Police Michael Harrison said that Cain was an idiot. People knew where stayed. He was hiding under the covers of his underage girlfriend's bed. The girlfriend wanted to be a ride or die chick.

Now she faces charges for hiding a federal suspect.

Representatives from Tulane University told the junk food media that Peter was a four year medical student.

Friends say that Peter was the type of person who is willing to help others when there's a problem.

They say that Peter is a hero in their eyes.

Side chick faces charges for hiding a federal suspect in her bedroom. Nictoria Washington faces adult time in the iron college.
Now that the suspect was a Black man, I automatically assume the Blame Game. The conservative agitators and White extremists would automatically blame President Barack Obama and #BlackLivesMatter for the shooting.

So this leads us to another poll on the Blame Game.


Now that the New Orleans Police captured the suspect in the shooting of Peter Gold, who really deserves the blame?

BARACK OBAMA
#BLACKLIVESMATTER
CONGRESS
THE SHOOTER
ALL OF THE ABOVE
free polls


Cain is innocent until proven guilty. The charge of kidnapping automatically carries LIFE in the iron college.

World News Today sends our prayers to Peter Gold. We wish him a speedy recovery.

What Happened To John Livingston?

Harnett County shooting
Father of three was gunned down by the law. He was mistaken for someone else.

Once again if it wasn't for DeRay McKesson, Shaun White and Bree Newsome, you wouldn't hear the story about John Livingston.

The law placed two officers on ice after they used deadly force on a father of three after they claimed he resisted arrest and reached for the Taser.

The law called John called a "suspect" by the Sheriff's Office on Sunday, was "deceased at scene" following a confrontation with two sheriff's deputies, a new release from the department said Monday.

Authorities said John tried to grab a Taser from a deputy, according to reports cited by The Associated Press. Witnesses also said in published reports that deputies used pepper spray and a Taser on John before shooting him multiple times.

"He wasn't no suspect," said Libby Lovings, who identified herself as John's mother-in-law.

Although never married to John, her daughter, Jessika Cardwell, is the mother of his three children.

"I was in sick shock yesterday," Lovings said Monday.

She and Cardwell said the lawmen were looking for another man when, about 3:40 a.m., they approached the residence at the intersection of Stage Road and West Everett Street.

"They did not have the right person," said a neighbor, who did not want to be identified. "It should have stopped when they figured the person they were looking for was not there."

George Thomas, 51, who lives about 25 yards from the house where the shooting took place, said he had been there drinking beer earlier Saturday night before leaving to go to bed at about 2:30 a.m.

"I heard a gun. I heard four shots rapid fire," he said. "Police was looking for somebody else. It won't him. John told them they didn't have no search warrant. John shut the door on the police. By the time he locked the door, they kicked it in.

"They shot the wrong guy for the wrong thing," Thomas said. "Wrong guy. Wrong house. Wrong everything."

The Sheriff's Office said, as part of its standard procedure, the officers involved have been placed on administrative leave. On Monday, the name of only one of the deputies, Nicholas Kehagias, was released. The Sheriff's Office said Kehagias was involved in the shooting incident.

Kehagias, who is assigned to the patrol division, has been employed as a deputy sheriff with Harnett County since July 2013, a news release said.

Typically, a law enforcement source said, a law enforcement agency only releases the name of the officer who actually discharges the weapon.

Nick Kehagias was placed in the freezer pending grand jury decision
The release did not say if Kehagias got freezer burn.

Harnett County Sheriff Larry Rollins could not be reached for comment.


Maj. Jeff Huber, a spokesman for the Harnett County Sheriff's Office, declined to answer questions posed by email. "The investigation is being handled by the SBI," Huber said in his reply. "Any questions should be directed to them."

SBI spokesman Shannon O'Toole said the agency could not answer any additional questions on the case. The State Bureau of Investigation, O'Toole said, should complete the probe "within a week or less."

Livingston, Lovings said, had been living in the mobile home where he was shot about three months.

"John was more of a visitor," the anonymous neighbor said.

The neighbor said he heard "like four gunshots" early Sunday morning. He said, from what he has learned, John was shot in the mouth and three times in the chest, although those details have not been confirmed by authorities.

"We heard it. Everybody heard it," said a woman who lives with the neighbor.

Lovings and Cardwell spoke from the small front deck of Lovings' mobile home, no more than a quarter-mile from the weathered brown trailer where Livingston had been living. It's a desolate area of the county, where the pot-holed roads are nothing but sand and some of the neighborhood mobile homes are abandoned, burned and even gutted.

Lovings said deputies with the Harnett County Sheriff's Office had visited her later Sunday morning.

She said they offered no apology for what transpired.

"They just said there was an altercation between John Livingston and the Harnett County sheriff's (deputies)," Lovings said. "They didn't provide any details. Just said there was an altercation and that

John Livingston was no longer with us. And I think he probably got a little mouthy.
The moment happens after this.
"Do you really need to use all that kind of force?" she asked rhetorically. "They supposedly dragged him out by the beard, started beating him, then pepper sprayed him and used a Taser gun on him, and then shot him."

Lovings said the family "definitely" wants to speak to an attorney in hopes of pursuing "some kind of justice."

John, who was originally from Beckley, West Virginia, worked as a carpenter and framer.

Cardwell, who is 33, said she first met him when she was 16. "We were together a long time," she said.

He also leaves behind three children: John III, 14; Kandis, 11; and Cameron, 8.

"He was the greatest father you could imagine," Cardwell said, becoming emotional at the thought.

"So kind-hearted. All the kids around here loved him. John had the best personality. Where he went, he would light up the party."

World News Today send our condolences to the family of John Livingston.

People's "Sexist White Man" Alive!

David Beckham snags the People's cover.

For the umpteenth time, People Magazine releases its "Sexist Man Alive" issue. Thus proving me and S. Baldwin's point about the magazine's deliberate attempts to ignore men of color.

The now retired English soccer star David Beckham graces its annual cover.

"I never feel that I'm an attractive, sexy person," said Beckham. "I mean I like to wear nice clothes and nice suits and look and feel good, but I don't ever think of myself that way."

Beckham joins the list of many men who graced the "Sexist Man Alive" cover.

And once again People faces a backlash. Because this has been over 20 years since a person of color ever graced that cover for the "Sexist Man Alive."

David is married to reality star/designer/former pop singer Victoria Beckham (nee Adams) and has four children.

Beckham is one of the highest paid soccer players in the United States. He is one of FIFA's best footballers ever.

While we don't hate on the fact that Beckham earned the title of "Sexist Man Alive", you notice that People chooses the candidates selectively.

I mean there hasn't been a man of color on that magazine since Denzel Washington.

Although Idris Elba, Jussie Smollet, Michael B. Jordan, Drake and Ki Hong Lee were in the featured in the list of "Sexist Men". They never graced the cover of People.

The celebrity agitating magazine has often face harsh criticism for this.


Do you believe People Magazine deliberately leaves out people of color in their "Sexist Person Alive" covers?
