Cleaning Out The Attic!

The Trumpy Bear is a favorite among Trump supporters.
Again, don't feed the trolls.

In the words of Michelle Obama, "When they go low, we go higher!"

But in my own words, "We ain't holding a gun to your head telling you to read our blog! Why you keep punishing yourself?"

Once again, thank you on behalf of me (Blue Light Buzz) and S.B. for reading World News Today. Without your support, we wouldn't be doing this.

I am not going to address the guy by name. All I am going to say in the response to the troll is, "thank you!"

I strongly disagree with your comments. I am not wasting time to respond other than what you're seeing here. If I waste time responding to trolls, it will get me no where.

I'm not Abagond.

I am not banning you from World News Today. However, I invite you to join through Google Plus to keep up on what we post. Whether you agree with it or not, we're not going to stop what we're doing.

I don't worship anything.

If there was a god, why are the people in West Bank and Gaza Strip suffering?

If Michelle Obama is a race traitor, what is Melania Trump?

We don't need links to websites. We got all we need in the web crawler to the right of you.

Here's what the troll posted on a previous post. Grab a magnifying glass and read what the troll said.

get some black agenda reports up in here.

For over 10 years, S.B. created World News Today (formerly Journal de la Reyna).

I joined in 2010 and contributed to most of the postings. I left my previous blogs and stayed only focused on this blog. So far, we're doing just fine.

I am not planning on going anywhere. I am grateful to S.B. and will continue to help make her blog grow and succeed. Whether we gain support or criticism, we appreciate the good readers who view our blog.

THIS IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN ISSUES BLOG. AS EXPECTED, WE WILL EXPECT COMMENTS FROM TROLLS. ON SOME OCCASIONS, I MAY POST SOME STORIES ABOUT CELEBRITIES WHO MADE IMPACTS ON BLACK CULTURE.

Back in August, I said I would respond to the critics in one single posting. Instead of flooding comment sections with retorts, I just rather post a response through the blog.

I'll just be blunt. 

We are not going to change the minds of these trolls. It's a waste of time and patience. 

I just remove the comments and move on. I don't have to offer them any response other than what they see here. 

Again, no one has pointed a gun to your head telling you to read anything posted on this blog or any blog that is associated to me, S.B. or any contributors here. 

We don't mind you responding. However, we do control what we see and what is posted so it's pretty much a waste of time to post something if you don't agree with it. We're just going to remove it.

So to those who are reading on World News Today: Thank you again for your support. 

Without you, we wouldn't be doing this. So if you feel the need to respond to our postings, be our guest. We are here to respond to you. 

I'm going to let your own words be the response to why it's important to not feed the trolls.

I notice that you identify yourself in the plural: 'we 'us' 'our'. Your writing style is somewhat different from your Abagond blog. So if youre not the same jerk, my apologies. Please convey my sentiments to your partner.

Continue to read at your own peril.

We will not stop.

We will not be moved.

We will fight for the rights of people of color.

We will hold Donald J. Trump, Congress and those associated to them accountable.

We will not waste our time worrying about you or those who think like you.

We all have lives outside the blog. Why don't you move past our blog and find a blog that supports your views?



BREAKING: Kyrsten Sinema Wins Senate Race!

Democratic lawmaker Kyrsten Sinema wins the U.S. Senate race in Arizona. It spoils Republicans plans.
Huh?

Did you hear, that a Democrat won the state of Arizona?

NO.

Damn, Kyrsten Sinema won the spot vacated by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ).

I'm going to say that again....Damn, the first openly bisexual woman to represent the state of Arizona.

Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) beats Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) in one of the most bitterly fought contests in the country. The Republicans managed to capture Missouri, Indiana and North Dakota.

The state of Montana and Florida are still in question.

The race between Sinema and McSally was one of the most closely watched in the nation. Sinema was declared the winner Monday as her lead grew insurmountable during Arizona's lengthy vote-count.

Sinema is a former liberal activist who became a centrist member of Congress. Her win follows years of Democratic shutouts at the statewide level in Arizona and shows that the longtime Republican bastion is becoming a swing state.

McSally hammered Sinema over her former liberal stances and claimed she was pretending to be a centrist.

Sinema criticized McSally's vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act and kept her distance from national Democrats.
Martha McSally is defeated. Her seat went to Ann Kirkpatrick and the senate race went to Kyrsten Sinema.
McSally had the allies of Donald J. Trump, Mitt Romney, James O'Keefe, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Breitbart. They were trying to paint Sinema as a "George Soros, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer" clone. They were trying to use her past statements to tar her as a "terrorist sympathizer."

The Republican base was fighting within its ranks. McSally beat out Kelli Ward and Joe Arpaio. The two were polarizing Republicans. The two were more popular among the white extremist wing of the Republican Party. McSally's support of stripping children from immigrants hurt her. Also she didn't offer any policies other than the usual word vomit.

I also believe Trump's attacks on the late John McCain made independents support Sinema.

McSally was an unpopular candidate from the jump.

Congratulations to Sen-Elect Kyrsten Sinema. You're a beautiful and powerful voice for women.

Hopefully we can get to work to move the country forward.

Trump Supporting Uber Driver Kicks Tara Strong To The Curb!

Voice actress Tara Strong was booted out by a Trump supporting Uber driver.
Reminder, actors vote too.

While most in California are affected by the wildfires, our imbecile in chief makes an inappropriate tweet about the wildfires.

The California wildfires are affecting the Northern town of Paradise and Los Angeles metro area.

Many celebrities are seeing their homes burnt to the ground.

Then last week an Uber driver shocked actresses Tara Strong and Rena Sofer. The two were hailing a ride to the polls and were talking about the Midterms. The driver overheard the conversation and started betrayed the women.

Tara is best known for playing in Nickelodeon's Rugrats as Dil Pickles, Fairly Odd Parents as Timmy Turner, DC's Teen Titans Go!, Raven, Batman's Batgirl and Harley Quinn, Cartoon Network's original Powerpuff Girls as Bubbles, and many other characters in animation.

She even recorded the interaction or Twitter.


Uber responded quickly and soon fired the driver out the cannon.


Tara Strong is a harsh critic of Donald J. Trump. Strong was critical of the imbecile's policies like stripping children from immigrant parents.

Hollywood, Broadway and Silicon Valley distance themselves from Trump and Republicans.

I follow actress Tara Strong. She is one of the most notable voice actresses in the country. She is a Canadian born actress who rose to stardom in the late 1980s and early 1990s when she was just a young girl.

She is one of the most prominent voices in American/Canadian animation.



Here's Tara with fellow voice actress and bestie E.G. Daily.

Stan Lee Passed Away!

Stan Lee passed away.
A real hero.

Comic book legend and entertainer Stan Lee passed away today at the age of 95.

The legendary co-founder of Marvel Comics passed away in Los Angeles. He created the most iconic Marvel heroes. Like Spider-Man, Captain America, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Black Panther, the Fantastic Four, and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lee, who began in 1939 created memorable names in the comic book industry. He died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a brief illness.

Lee's family confirmed his death.

Lee had a legal woes during his final years. His wife Joan had passed away in 2017. He sued executives of POW! Entertainment a company he created in 2001 to develop film, TV and video game properties for $1 billion allegeding fraud, then abruptly dropping the suit weeks later. He also sued his ex-business manager and filed for a restraining order against a man who had been handling his business affairs. There were reports from the Los Angeles Police Department that Lee was being abused by his caretakers.

Lee along with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko made Marvel Comic the number one publisher of comic books and entertainment.

The Walt Disney Company bought Marvel Entertainment in 2009. The merger was beneficial to the companies. With that merger, Marvel released three hugely successful movies.

He was born Stanley Martin Lieber in Manhattan, New York. He grew up poor. His father was a Romanian immigrant and a laborer. He was lover of adventure books and Errol Flynn movies, Lee graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School, joined the WPA Federal Theatre Project, where he appeared in a few stage shows, and wrote obituaries.
Spider-Man was modeled through Stan Lee.
In 1939, Lee got a job as a gofer for $8 a week at Marvel predecessor Timely Comics. Two years later, for Kirby and Joe Simon's Captain America No. 3, he wrote a two-page story titled "The Traitor's Revenge!" that was used as text filler to qualify the company for the inexpensive magazine mailing rate. He used the pen name Stan Lee.

He was named interim editor at 19 by publisher Martin Goodman when the previous editor quit. In 1942, he enlisted in the Army and served in the Signal Corps, where he wrote manuals and training films with a group that included Oscar-winner Frank Capra, Pulitzer-winner William Saroyan and Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss). After the war, he returned to the publisher and served as the editor for decades.

Following DC Comics' lead with the Justice League, Lee and Kirby in November 1961 launched their own superhero team, the Fantastic Four, for the newly renamed Marvel Comics, and Hulk, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Daredevil and X-Men soon followed. The Avengers launched as its own title in September 1963.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Manhattan's high-literary culture vultures did not bestow its approval on how Lee was making a living. People would “avoid me like I had the plague. … Today, it's so different,” he once told The Washington Post.

Not everyone felt the same way, though. Lee recalled once being visiting in his New York office by Federico Fellini, who wanted to talk about nothing but Spider-Man.

In 1972, Lee was named publisher and relinquished the Marvel editorial reins to spend all his time promoting the company. He moved to Los Angeles in 1980 to set up an animation studio and to build relationships in Hollywood. Lee purchased a home overlooking the Sunset Strip that was once owned by Jack Benny's announcer, Don Wilson.

Survivors include his daughter and younger brother Larry Lieber, a writer and artist for Marvel. Another daughter, Jan, died in infancy. His wife, Joan, was a hat model whom he married in 1947.

Like Alfred Hitchcock before him, the never-bashful Lee appeared in cameos in the Marvel movies, shown avoiding falling concrete, watering his lawn, delivering the mail, crashing a wedding, playing a security guard, etc.

In Spider-Man 3 (2007), he chats with Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker as they stop on a Times Square street to read news that the web-slinger will soon receive the key to the city. “You know," he says, "I guess one person can make a difference … 'nuff said.”

Welcome To Congress Joe Cunningham!

Joe Cunningham won in a heavily Republican district in South Carolina.
Representative-elect Joe Cunningham beat Republican Katie Arrington who survived a nearly fatal car wreck. Cunningham, a political novice was a Democrat who ended up winning a district Trump carried by 40 points. A district that was heavily redistricted to be in the Republicans favor.

"You can count on me to always stand up for what is right, even if that means standing up to my own party when they’re wrong," he says in introducing himself. "Politics has simply become a game of 'us versus them,' and I’m running because I’m tired of that game. In my life, I’ve learned that if you want to get things done, you have to work with one another, not against one another."

Cunningham won by amassing a huge lead in Charleston County and then hung on as Arrington took the vote in the district's other four counties, according to unofficial returns.

According to those returns, Cunningham collected 144,828 votes, or 50.62 percent, to Arrington's 140,792 votes, or 49.21 percent.
State lawmaker Katie Arrington was defeated in a shocking upset against Joe Cunningham.
A district was carried by Tim Scott, the current Republican senator and Mark Sanford, the twice disgraced lawmaker who left his wife for an Argentine broadcaster. He made up a lie saying he walked the Appalachian Trail.

Katie Arrington, a South Carolina state lawmaker usurped Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) after Donald J. Trump gave his endorsement to her.

Two weeks later. Arrington was seriously injured when her vehicle was hit by a drunk driver. Her campaign manager was badly injured as well.

She recovered but has to use a cane when walking.

Sanford had declined to endorse her campaign in the final weeks. She got hit over her support for off-shore drilling and flimsy record as a lawmaker. She was hoping voters would sympathize with her because she was an accident victim.
Mark Sanford dissed Katie Arrington.
There's a major feud now between Arrington and Sanford. In her concession speech, she blamed Sanford for his tepid response to her and lack of endorsement.

Sanford is considering a run in 2020 to retake the seat.

In the meantime, Joe Cunningham will get the ground running. He wants to keep healthcare, fix broken roads, waterways and take care of the middle class. He also said that he won't endorse a Nancy Pelosi speakership.

Welcome to the club. You will join Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Lucy McBath, Antonio Delgado, Ann Kirkpatrick, Xochitl Torres Small, Susan Wild, Conor Lamb, Jennifer Wexton, Michael San Nicholas, Lauren Underwood, Cindy Axne, Sharice Davids, Abbu Finkenauer. Ayanna Pressley, Elissa Slotkin, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Dean Phillips, Angie Craig, Veronica Escobar, Lizzie Fletcher, Madeleine Dean, and Kendra Horn.

Reminder, most Republicans will mention Nancy Pelosi or George Soros in their opening statements, debate retorts and policy proposals. It's another sexist and anti-Semitic attack on two people vilified by the right wing carnival barkers.



Kyrsten Sinema Up, Martha McSally Down!

Democratic lawmaker Kyrsten Sinema might win the Arizona U.S. Senate seat.
Could the state of Arizona swing in favor of the Democrats?

It's not over.

Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) and Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) are locked in a tie and there's an automatic recount in progress. The U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Jeff Flake has been one of the most bitter.

Whoever wins this will become the first woman to represent Arizona as a U.S. Senator.

The Sun Belt is looking likely to swing in favor of Democrats.

McSally had a her lead shrink over the past 48 hours. The lead has shifted in favor of Sinema.

McSally who is a former U.S. Air Force Colonial and two term congresswoman. The lawmaker is hoping to carry the mantle of Donald J. Trump. McSally thought this would be easy. She was clearly favored to win this spot. However, Arizonans want a Maverick.

Sinema is an openly bisexual woman who vows to support Donald J. Trump when it comes to border security. Sinema puts on this act of being a middle of the road lawmaker. It was not helpful to progressive base who felt she betrayed the cause.

The lead for Sinema is 30,000 votes ahead of McSally.
Republican Martha McSally is casting doubt on the recount. She is losing and she wants to rile Republicans up into attacking poll watchers.
"Election Officials estimate about 195,000 of these are early ballots, provisional and out-of-precinct ballots that voters cast or dropped off on Election Day," according to a news release from the Maricopa County Recorder's Office. "Additionally, about 3,000 early ballots that the Elections Department received before Nov. 6 must be tabulated."

Arizona continues to count the ballots and more than 260,000 remain as of Saturday, AZCentral reported. McSally would have to win at least 150,000 of the 260,000 votes left to reclaim the lead and of those 260,000 votes left, at least 125,000 are from Maricopa County, where Phoenix is. That's 57.7 percent of the ballots left that McSally would have to win.

Here's the most recent debate. And also McSally bringing up George Soros. The Republicans are using anti-Semitic rhetoric whenever they bring up Soros' name in conversation.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Fox News Mocks The Working Class!

Rep-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slams Fox News.
I love how the network throws socialist around like it's a bad word. I love how these white folks have the audacity to attack a woman of color who shocked the world with a viable win in a relatively Democratic stronghold. I love how this member-elect told the world that she is just like everyone else. She wants to represent the people of the district that she was elected to. She urges others to realize that not all lawmakers come in rich.

Many Americans are struggling to eat or pay rent. I am one of those who works 50 hours a week. I am a "surprise" dad who has to travel to another city to see my son. I don't get the fancy clothes or shoes that you see on television. I make too much to qualify for food stamps, Medicaid, Pell grants and housing assistance.

Even at a minimum of $29,000 a year, the average family of four can only afford at least $1,500 in monthly expenses.

Most apartments in a metropolitan area begin at nearly $700 a month. The cost of living in Washington, DC is astronomical.

Rep-elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez of New York is the youngest elected federal official in the United States. She replaces Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as the young elected member of the House of Representatives.

Ocasio Cortez said that since the election, she never had a long term job during the campaign. She said she might have to find a hotel room while waiting for her congressional salary to kick in. She admits that she can't find an affordable housing in metro DC.

Fox News took those comments and started to discuss them on America's Newsroom.

Ed Henry made the remarks.


Soon, the lawmaker shot back and made a stinging rebuke. She said that Fox News mocks the working class. She said that millions of Americans struggle to eat while paying for the rent.


Women of color often face this kind of nonsense from white elitists. Fox News is the network of white extremism.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you got a challenge ahead of you. It's time to show empathy towards our fellow American.

Trump and the Republican Party have no shame or empathy towards the middle class, working class and the lower class.
