Splashed on The Huffington Post today was a story about Donald Trump and his ongoing feud with Fox News and its agitator Megyn Kelly.
Trump's war against Kelly began at the first Republican debate in Cleveland when he was given a question about his treatment of women. Trump's reaction to her and Fox News was supposed to be the end of his campaign.
Fast forward to now.
Trump's holding a little bit of dirt on Fox News. According to an article being published by New York Magazine, Gabriel Sherman reveals how Trump came to possess some deep shit going on in Roger Ailes' circle. Sherman says that this information could damage the reputation of Ailes and his network.
Fox News is by far the cable news leader. It's often beating most primetime shows in 3:1 ratio.
The network has long being question for journalistic ethics. Most conclude that Fox News is in favor of the Republican and conservative policies.
Roger Ailes fired a longtime aid to his inner circle. Brian Lewis was fired out the cannon after a story turned up about Ailes carrying a firearm to work and fearing Muslims may attack him. Lewis told the junk food media that Roger got enemies and these enemies could expose him.
The Donald may have been getting practically kiss ass coverage from the country's most annoying conservative agitator. Sean Hannity, is by far the worst conservative agitator to ever host a show. He's nothing more than a screaming parrot of Republican talking points, insults and name dropping.
The Ted Cruz campaign vowed to never go on Hannity's show anymore because the annoying conservative agitator brought up the alleged sex scandal.
He was demoted to 10pm back in 2013 after his show entitled "Hannity" was losing to Rachel Maddow.
The network is not so keen on a Donald Trump or Ted Cruz presidency.
Roger Ailes has privately told people that "Trump has no chance" of being the president.
Wisconsin is leaning to Ted Cruz and it could be a blowout for the controversial Texas senator.
Conservatives in the state have mounted war against Donald Trump and Ohio governor John Kasich.
Trump had some major derailment these last two weeks.
Failed presidential candidate and current Wisconsin governor Scott Walker endorsed Cruz in a last ditch effort to stop Trump from winning the nomination. Perennial loser Mitt Romney endorsed Cruz for president in his last hurrah for relevance. Both have openly said that they may sit it out if Trump is the nominee.
So far it's working.
Cruz is leading in the state by 10 points. The Cruz campaign gained momentum in the wake of allegations of an affair with five women. Trump's attack on Heidi Cruz was a bad move.
Not to mention the incident in Florida where Trump's right hand thug Corey Lewandowski shoving conservative agitator Michelle Fields.
Even Trump's strongest backer, former Alaskan half-termer Sarah Palin flopped at a Wisconsin Republican dinner.
Many conservatives agitators in Wisconsin have tried to sabotage Trump.
The media mogul went on a radio program and got his ass handed to him by a radio agitator who was in favor of Ted Cruz. Then when he went to MSNBC to engage conversation with Hardball's Chris Matthews, he said that women should be punished for having abortions. That lit a shit storm with Republicans who whisper the message. They hated the fact he used the bullhorn. Trump's foreign policy flopped as well. Now he's doing damage control and warning that if he fails at winning the nomination, he will engage in an insurgent candidacy.
Trump, Cruz and Kasich vowed to not support the Republican nominee if its not them.
They complain that Republicans threaten to nominate a candidate who hasn't ran. House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin lawmaker and former vice presidential nominee is considering taking control of the situation by becoming the nominee.
Also Cruz gained a victory today. North Dakota's delegates went to him in a landslide. The state's Republican convention nominated Cruz as their candidate of choice.
Wisconsin's primary is two days away. Cruz and Bernie Sanders are leading in the state polls.
Sanders is leading by a narrow lead of 4 points against Hillary Clinton.
Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont who is running as a Democrat for the nomination is catching up with Clinton. He's scored a huge bank of donations. He raked in $35 million in the month of March. Sanders promises to stay in the race until the convention.
Even though he's trailing in the delegates, he's showing signs of life in states like California and New York. Clinton currently leads in these states but Sanders running a stronger offense is likely to make the states a challenge for the former first lady and secretary of state.
Hamburger Helper releases Watch The Stove on iTunes.
General Mills releases an actual mixtape.
Watch The Stove is actually a mixtape released by Lefty, the Hamburger Helper mascot. It's a good mixtape. As an April Fool's Prank, the company wanted to give Lefty some real beef.
The title is a mocking of Jay-Z and Kanye West's album Watch The Throne.
It takes a shot at Meek Mill. Because remember in July, the Philly rapper was engaged in a serious rap beef with Drake. Drake served him hard. And General Mills couldn't resist making Meek Mill the butt of their promotional campaign. General Mills reached out to music manager/educator Craig Rice for help putting the project together. Rice, a teacher at McNally Smith College of Music in Minnesota and had Toki Wright as the performer of the mixtape.
In the mix, Lefty recording the mixtape.
Wright is an established hip-hop artist having released albums with Rhymesayers, Wright is also the Department Head of the nation’s first fully accredited Hip-hop Studies Diploma and Minor Program at the school. Jumping at the chance to get his students involved in a project that could reach a large audience, they got to work.
Somethings are better left back where they were left.
The knife that drove the junk food media back to Brentwood, Los Angeles turned out to be not the weapon used in the 1994 killing of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department said that the knife doesn't have any trace of Simpson's DNA. Matter of fact, the former officer who held on to the knife has a credibility issue.
Forensic investigators conducted DNA and other tests on the blade after it was turned over to Los Angeles police within the last few months by a retired LAPD motorcycle officer.
The retired officer told investigators he had been given the knife by a construction worker, who in turn claimed to have found it on Simpson‘s property in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles when the house was being torn down in 1998.
“We don’t know if it’s a hoax, but there’s no nexus to the murders, based on the testing we’ve done,” LAPD Captain Andrew Neiman said in an interview.
O.J. Simpson the famed football star and television actor was acquitted of the murder.
The murder of Nicole and Ron led the nation to the slow speed chase, the Trial of the Century and the gloves that didn't fit which lead to Simpson being acquitted.
Simpson was found liable for the deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman by a civil court jury in 1997 and ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims’ families, a judgment that has remained largely unfulfilled.
Simpson's infamy came to a end when he decided to take actions into his own hands. In 2008, he was caught up. Now he's serving a 33-year bid in the iron college. He is eligible for parole in 2017.
Simpson is sitting in a Nevada iron college was found guilty of burglary and aggravated assault after he and his buddies roughed up a collections dealer.
Republican National Committee chief Reince Priebus still trying to color the White rainbow.
Republicans are hoping to create that coalition of non-White supporters. They've suffered a huge deficit of non-White voters in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. They hope they can capitalize off the dysfunction the Democrats are having right now.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Hillary Clinton are duking it out for the Black, Hispanic, young and women voters. These groups are the Democrats hope to see turnout this election.
Right now, Black and Hispanic voters are turned off to Sanders and Clinton. It's been rough for both candidates to capitalize off the Obama waves. President Barack Obama managed to carry huge turnout in 2008 and 2012. His success was based on grassroots to communities that candidates overlook.
Telly Lovelace.
Republicans are still hoping that they can at least gain at least 25% of the Black vote.
Kristal Quarker-Hartsfield, the former national director of African-American Initiatives and Media at the RNC, left Friday to be director of intergovernmental affairs for Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R). Orlando Watson, communications director for black media, departed in March. Tara Wall and Raffi Williams, son of Fox News political analyst Juan Williams, also left the RNC late last year.
Now GOP chief Reince Priebus announced that he's found him a new toy to play with.
Telly Lovelace, a veteran GOP communications strategist, is the new leader of the party’s black political engagement and communications efforts, the Republican National Committee announced on Friday.
Lovelace, who starts Monday as the national director of African-American Initiatives and Media, will spearhead black voter engagement.
“Telly is a welcome addition to our team, and I’m confident his experience will help us build on our commitment to cultivate relationships and trust with Black media and Black communities,” said Priebus in a statement.
The RNC is also launching a new diversity initiative — including a paid internship program focusing on historically black colleges and universities — to bring more black people into the party.
“I really want to focus on getting the Republican message into urban America and urban communities,” said Lovelace, who is overseeing the program.
Lovelace’s appointment comes in the middle of a mass exodus of black staffers from the organization.
I've always believed that the Republican Party is White like cocaine.
90% WHITE and 10% EVERYTHING ELSE.
They've engaged in this ongoing culture war against everyone including themselves. The Republicans don't know who to trust right now!
All they got left is pretty much the blame going to Barack Obama and the media for their continuous failures.
I got so many suggestions for the Republican Party, but I just couldn't contain myself from delivering my honest opinion about the rebranding of the national party. Here are some healthy and yet obvious suggestion to the ailing party.
The Republicans must stop this culture war against everyone! If they do so, I'll stop calling them racist.
I'll stop calling them bigots if they refuse to allow anyone within their party to hate a person's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, educational, political and economic standings.
I'll stop blaming them for all the mass shootings in a suburban school or shopping center if they could at least pass a background check for all registered gun owners.
I'll stop blaming them if they can separate themselves from all the White supremacist rhetoric we've seen through channels such as The Drudge Report, InfoWars, Breitbart, WorldNetDaily and Conservative Review.
I'll vote for a Republican for president if the person can deliver a plan to help everyone. Not a select few. I would hope they would engage in communicating to all voters instead of just conservative voters.
I'll vote for a Republican if they stop acting like a bunch of idiots!
When conservative agitators bemoan about the rise of "radical Islam", their gullible audience sponges it up and run with it. They want Muslims to stand up and denounce terrorism.
Muslims across the world denounce the brutal and senseless acts of terrorism.
The Belgium attacks has sparked another rise in Islamophobia in the United States. The conservative agitators, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich continue to push their narrow minded goal to profile Muslims.
Donald Trump called for a ban on Muslims who travel overseas.
Ted Cruz wants law enforcement to profile Muslim neighborhoods.
John Kasich believes that President Barack Obama would do the tango then take on radical Islam. His state of Ohio will refuse refugees from Syria and causalities of war.
A young woman who was studying for cosmetology was attacked by a man with a knife. This terrorist slashes the woman's face causing a deep laceration on her face.
The young woman was a Muslim and she was a student at the Make-Up Designory.
The attack was random and the suspect wasn't named yet. But he will face a court date. He will face aggravated assault and attempted murder charges. It could be a federal hate crime charge.
The attack started by the terrorist calling the young woman a "TERRORIST".
The attack comes amid a rise in violent attacks against residents in New York. These attacks risen to a record 20 percent since last year.
Mayor Bill de Blasio vows to curb this amid tensions with the NYPD. Patrick Lynch of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association Union has been a contributing factor to tension between residents and the law.
The month of March gave the best news for President Barack Obama, however it gave a rise to the unemployment rate. The Department of Labor released the job numbers and it shows a steady pace of employment.
The economy roars with 215,000 jobs added for the month of March and it did lead to the unemployment rate to head to 5 percent.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 215,000 last month, the Labor Department said on Friday. Data for January and February was revised slightly down to show 1,000 fewer jobs created than previously reported.
Average hourly earnings increased seven cents. While the unemployment rate rose to 5.0 percent from an eight-year low of 4.9 percent, it was because more Americans continued to return to the labor force, a sign of confidence in the jobs market.
The labor market has largely shrugged off slowing global economic growth, a robust U.S. dollar that has hurt manufacturing exports, and cheap oil prices, which have hit energy sector profitability.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that slowing world growth and lower oil prices posed a downside risk to the U.S. economic outlook, adding that she considered it appropriate for policymakers to “proceed cautiously in adjusting policy.”
Fed officials last month downgraded their economic growth expectations and forecast only two more rate rises this year. The U.S. central bank raised its benchmark overnight interest rate in December for the first time in nearly a decade.
Financial markets have almost priced out the likelihood of a rate hike at the Fed’s June policy meeting and see a roughly 47 percent chance of an increase in November and a 57 percent probability at the December meeting, according to CME FedWatch.
The employment report came on the heels of recent data showing sluggish consumer spending and weak business investment on capital in the first two months of the year, as well as some deterioration in the international trade balance.
Of course, Republicans and conservative agitators will say that the job numbers are fake. They will actually say that 1/3 of Americans aren't working (roughly 94 million).
They will continue to deny the fact that there are students in high school, stay at home spouse/parent, disabled, those in the iron college, those in college, those who were born and those died.
Births and deaths happen every freaking day. Someone just lost their job. Someone just quit their job.
The real unemployment numbers aren't relevant. Because there's so many contributing factors to why Americans chose to work or chose not to work.
Conservatives can say all the bullshit on television, radio, internet and print. But it's not true.
The lamest Congress ever, refuses to raise the minimum wage. They refuse to pass paid family leave.
They refuse to allow better safety equipment for those who work around hazardous chemicals.
But yet, say that the job numbers aren't right. The Republican Party and its allies contributed to the near downfall of our country and yet they want to reclaim the White House.
