Beyonce made a surprise appearance at the Country Music Awards to perform a duet with The Dixie Chicks, Wednesday.
The queen of pop and the country music trio started off their set by giving a shout out to Texas. They all grew up in Texas. They collaborated for a remix to Daddy Lessons. The album comes from Lemonade, the visual album.
The audience were on their feet when Queen Bey performed.
Many country music stations refuse to play the song because they don't believe it's a country music song.
The song went viral. Now it's streaming its way to Billboard's top spot in not only mainstream but country.
Many in the audience didn't expect Beyonce to appear at the awards. Brad Paisley confirmed Queen Bey's appearance in the second hour of the show.
Good news for the fans of the long suffering Chicago Cubs.
Yesterday, they broke the 108 year old curse. They ended up winning the World Series in Game 7.
They had pulled off a 3-1 deficit against the Cleveland Indians. It was a great finish for the Cubs.
The Cubs would manage to hold back the Indians by a run. The two teams ran it into the midnight hour through 10 innings. Cleveland let the ball slip in the top of the 10th. Chicago whacked them balls hard. They showed the Indians how the game is played.
The Cubs now can put to rest the longstanding ridicule and the taunts of many.
White extremist David Duke is running as a Republican for the open U.S. Senate seat in Louisiana.
The former grand wizard of the Klan is hoping that he could win the seat. Many in Louisiana could send Duke to Washington. Duke is the suit and tie agitator of the alt-right. He claims he's a member of a group of people who support the rights of Whites. He believes He says that Donald Trump is speaking their language.
His appearance at Dillard University caused a great deal of controversy.
Duke's bid for the senate is controversial.
Dillard University is a historically Black college and Duke's appearance nearly started a riot.
There was a debate held there and there's a handful of candidates running for the spot.
Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA), Rep. John Fleming (R-LA), Republican state treasurer John Kennedy and Duke are competing for the Republican spot. They along with the Democratic candidates are on the a jumble ballot.
In Louisiana, if one makes it to 50.9%, then one wins. If the candidates fail at making it to the magic number, then the top two will face off in a runoff election in December.
Duke is respectively at 5% in state polls. His impact could affect the race. Republicans fear if Duke does pull off a win, it's could be disastrous. Duke won a spot as a state representative in Louisiana as a Democrat in the late 1980s. He ran for president twice. He also tried to run for governor twice.
Duke is considered a "scholar" among many White extremists. He also considered a snitch and "sellout" among the old guard. Many believe that Duke is using this as an attempt to mainstream the alt-right.
Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) is formally resigning from the Senate after being handed an embarrassing defeat in the governor's race.
Vitter who faced a sex scandal fades into the dark. He leaves behind a seat Republicans desperately need in order to keep the control of a pending Hillary Clinton presidency.
The most annoying conservative agitator in radio and television is pimping discouragement in his right wing carnival. He cites from The Drudge Report and the most dumbest agitator in the blogosphere.
Sean "Softball" Hannity read from The Gateway Pundit about Hillary Clinton struggles since the FBI director James Comey opened his investigation into her email server. According to the softball, President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have abandoned Clinton.
The softball cites the social microblog Twitter as his source.
CNN's Brian Stelter who the softball is feuding with called him out once again on peddling bullshit as news.
Stelter noted that Pro-Trump social media users tweeted about it, further amplifying the falsehood.
And a contributor to a relatively credible web site, ForexLive.com, posted an item asking "Is the First Lady distancing the Obamas from the Clintons?"
Then new characters were added to the fake storyline. "Elizabeth Warren just unfollowed Hillary, and Michelle Obama deleted all her tweets about Hillary," Jack Posobiec, who calls himself a "recovering political operative," tweeted at 2 p.m. Tuesday. He kept going, adding President Obama's name to the list, without any evidence to back it up.
The softball did apologize but went on to bash the junk food media for being in the tank for Clinton.
The softball is desperate for something to fall upon Clinton. He and many of agitators of the conservative/alt right media are pushing for Trump.
Feds hot pursuit of terrorist who ambushed two Iowa cops.
Did you know that there were three incidents where police officers were attacked by White men?
Yeah, one in Oklahoma where a man who was accused of murdering members of this family. He was on the run for almost a week. Michael Vance was being aided by friends and it was the tips of neighbors who led the law to his spot. He tried to shot his way through a roadblock. He ended up meeting his maker in a hail of gunfire.
Then there was one in Ohio. A man from Tennessee was engaged in a firefight with the law at a local gas station. He allegedly shot at two officers. The officers returned fire and they ended up killing his wife. The terrorist. He was on the run for a few hours before he was apprehended without a shot fired. Conrad Davis was taken to custody with felonious assault on a law officer. He might be charged with murder. His wife, Ashley Sides was hit by the gunfire. Sides has ties to Ohio and Tennessee. She leaves behind four children.
Who's going to take the blame in the fatal shooting of two suburban Des Moines cops being murdered?
Of course, we're waiting on the conservative agitators and Donald Trump presidential campaign blaming Black Lives Matter for the acts of a man who had intentionally killed two while they were in their police cars.
Of course, it's solely the fault of the shooter. But given the toxic environment in this election, the liberals and conservatives will assume that the shooter has ties to something. Either the shooter will be Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump's fault.
Scott Michael Greene was caught today after he was accused of bucking two officers in a targeted attack. He was upset over them ejecting him from an event because he was becoming a nuisance.
In the early morning of 1am, the terrorist ambushed two officers in a period of twenty minutes.
Urbandale Police confirm that Justin Martin, 24 was the first victim of the terrorist. His police vehicle was riddled with bullets. Des Moines Police confirm that Sgt. Anthony Bemino, 38 was the second victim of this terrorist.
Justin served a year on the Urbandale Police force. Anthony had over 20 years in the Des Moines Police force. Justin leaves behind a mother and father. Anthony leaves behind a wife and three children.
The terrorist may have ties to White extremism. He was kicked out of a high school football game after he flew the losing end of the Civil War taunting Blacks.
The candidates, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Gov. Terry Branstad and President Barack Obama have expressed condolences to this tragedy.
"All across the country, our police officers go to work each day not knowing whether they'll come home tonight. Their families live each days with the same fears. So as Americans, we owe them our respect and gratitude for their efforts to safeguard our families and our communities. And so as we once again mourn American police officers lost in the line of duty, we must also renew the call to match that same sense of service, that same devotion within our own lives and our own communities," said the president in his statement.
If the suspect was Black, Latino or Muslim, this would have riled up conservatives and Trump would ride a wave of White resentment towards these groups.
Going home broke. Woman sues casino for their error.
One woman in New York is suing a casino after they refuse to payout a nearly $43 million jackpot.
Katrina Bookman thought she had it made. Bookman and her friends go to Resorts World Casino at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens to play some of the games.
She would play on the Sphinx machine and it hit. It made her night. She took a picture with the prize totalling $42,949,672.76.
Everyone came to the scene. Security detail, casino managers and the director were in attendance.
They escorted her off the floor and was told to come back for the decision.
"I said what did I win? [The manager said], 'You didn't win nothing,'" Bookman recalled.
Well it turns out that the machine made an error. What she actually won $2.25. The New York Lottery and Gaming commission that there was an error in the machine. The jackpot's maximum amount is $6,500 and the prize was voided.
They said that she will be refunded her $2.25 and a free steak dinner.
When Katrina Bookman saw the jackpot she freaked out. The casino saw the jackpot and they refuse to pay out.
Bookman said that she will sue the casino for the maximum payout.
"They win and the house doesn't want to pay out. To me that's unfair," said Bookman's attorney Alan Pika. "The machine takes your money when you lose. It ought to pay it when you win."
The casino acknowledged the machine had an error, it was immediately pulled and fixed soon after.
The casino also said there are notices posted around machines and players should read instruction before playing.
Bookman was hoping to use the money to pay for her son's future business and donate a portion to charity. The lawsuit is pending.
I used to work at a racino in Ohio and I have a bit of knowledge on this one. Many casinos have devices called video lottery terminals (VLT). Most players often refer to them as slot machines.
These machines offer a player a chance at winning a jackpot if they play a minimum or maximum amount of winnings if they hit the right combination. Malfunctions do occur on many games. If that does happen it void all winnings. A tilt or malfunction label is placed on the side of video lottery terminals. They are visible to the player.
Now if the possibility of a jackpot occurs where the player does win more than the maximum amount of the game, the casino does reserve the right to forfeit or cancel the jackpot.
Notice that whoever made the hashtag #HillaryForPrision go viral may have set up those who followed the trend. Notice that the word in the hashtag, "Prision".
The word is spelled incorrectly. Some of the Trump supporters are saying that the social micro blog Twitter deliberately let the misspelling go viral in a suppression attempt.
Mind you that Donald Trump is embracing the folks who call Black people NIGGERS when they're not in the room. Mind you these are the folks who wanted to tear down walls in Germany and Western Europe but build walls between the U.S. and Mexico.
These are the people who believe that if Hillary Clinton wins a historical victory, it's going to be a "constitutional crisis."
These are the people who claim the junk food media is blacking out the email scandal when its been covered since Friday.
The Trump campaign says that he can change the toxic environment n Washington. Republicans have opposed about 85% of President Barack Obama's agenda. Trump's own campaign implanted the narrative that the junk food media isn't fair and the government is corrupt.
If he becomes the president, Trump will face resistance from Democrats the moment he is sworn to office.
This FBI memo released by James Comey has became catnip to Donald Trump and his Republican (alt-right) allies.
In the letter, Comey said that there is something that may have been on the laptop of ex-lawmaker Anthony Weiner who is the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton.
Clinton bucked the FBI director for bringing this late into the election season. She said that Comey is not concerned about Wikileaks hacking into John Podesta's emails. The Clinton campaign also said that the Republicans are desperate to win by any means.
