This video went viral over the past few days. A white woman decided to call the law on a Black woman because of a.............parking spot.
This happened apparently in Los Angeles. Two Black women who were in a spot possibly reserved for pick up or delivery were confronted by a white woman. The white woman was angry that they used the spot.
So obviously a verbal exchange happened.
Then the white woman calls 911 on the two women.
Then the two Black women whipped up the camera and recorded the woman. They called her racist for calling the law on them for a minor dispute. They called her "Peppermint Patty" for this.
Then the woman n-tapped them.
A black woman accidentally exited the wrong parking lane while visiting store & was verbally harassed by this white woman. The woman proceeded to call the cops on her for her driving & when called a racist, she responded by saying “cut the “N” card out.” Twitter, do your thing. pic.twitter.com/RfoNgYUNqi
The woman in the video boldly said to two Black women, "Cut the NIGGER Card."
Then the video ends with the woman claiming she was being attacked by the two Black women.
Hey, this what you voted for!
Republicans are enablers. They advocate white people calling the law on people of color. I mean in our society, we have to understand that misuse of 911 could cost people their lives.
Here's a bonus feature. Only two weeks ago, a white woman from Portland, OR called the law on a Black man and woman over a parking spot.
Diddy loses the mother of his children. Kim Porter passed away.
Sean "Puffy" Combs' (aka Diddy/Puff Daddy) ex-girlfriend and mother of his children passed away unexpectedly. Kim Porter was 47 years old. She was the mother of Al B Sure!'s and Combs' children.
Her death hit the Bad Boy CEO really hard. The mother of his children is gone. He faced the same blow when Biggie Smalls was gunned down. Only this one hit close to home.
Porter was mother to Christian Combs and twin daughters D'Lila Star and Jessie James Combs.
Porter was mother to Quincy Brown from her brief marriage to R&B singer Al B Sure!.
Brown is an actor and singer known for his Fox hit drama Star. Brown is the adoptive son of Combs.
Combs also has his son Justin and Chance from previous relationships.
Apparently she was fighting a bout of pneumonia. There were also reports of her going into cardiac arrest.
Porter, who dated rapper Diddy for 13 years and is the mother of three of his kids, died on Thursday at her Toluca Lake, CA, home, a source close to Porter confirmed to Variety.
Diddy with Justin, Christian, Quincy, Chance, D'Lila and Jessie. Justin Combs and Quincy Brown are actors.
TMZ, which first reported the news, said Porter went into cardiac arrest on Thursday at noon after suffering from pneumonia for several weeks, though her official cause of death has not yet been revealed.
Diddy and Porter began dating in 1994 and were on and off until their final breakup in 2007.
"Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time," Combs' rep, Cindi Berger, told Variety.
Former Marine vet Jared Golden secures a spot in the House of Representatives. He will be one of the many Democrats who blew out Republicans in the Midterms.
Welcome to Congress Jared Golden.
The 2nd Congressional District was occupied by Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R-ME).
Polishing was the last Republican House member left in New England. He was defeated the Democratic challenger who is a former Marine vet.
This leaves Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as the sole Republican left in New England. She is considered a targeted candidate in 2020. Collins was the deciding factor in the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Poliquin was a supporter of the Jobs and Tax Cuts Act. He also supported off shore drilling. He didn't care about Maine's needs. His district covers Bangor, Houlton, Estcourt Station, Fort Kent, Presque Isle, Lewiston and the town of Paris.
Golden won on Maine's rank-choice law. The rules mean that if the candidates failed to win over 50% of the vote, they go into a secondary tabulation vote.
It's the first time in the nation's history a federal race has been decided by ranked-choice voting.
Golden won 50.5% to Poliquin's 49.5%, Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap told reporters Thursday afternoon. The flip means Democrats have picked up 33 House seats so far in 2018, with seven races still undecided. Democrats lead in five of those seven seats, all of which are Republican-held districts.
So far, the current balance of power in Washington come January will be 228 Democrats and 200 Republicans in the House.
The tabulation came hours after a judge denied Poliquin's request for a temporary restraining order. The Republican had called into question the constitutionality of the ranked-choice voting process, which Maine's voters approved in a 2016 referendum and used for the first time this year.
In Maine's system, voters rank their choices from first to last. If no candidate gets more than 50% of the first-place votes, then candidates are eliminated one by one -- making the second-place choices of voters who back little-known third-party or independent candidates crucial.
Poliquin narrowly led Golden, 46.2% to 45.6%, after first-place votes were counted. But more than 8% of Maine's voters backed one of the two independent candidates in the race, Tiffany Bond and Will Hoar.
Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R-ME) won't concede. He will spend his worth trying to prevent Golden from being seated.
Dunlap's office calculated the ranked-choice voting results Thursday afternoon, broadcasting their Microsoft Excel tabulation on Facebook Live.
Poliquin didn't concede after the results were announced, instead saying he will continue his legal challenge of the constitutionality of Maine's ranked-choice voting system.
"It is now officially clear I won the constitutional 'one-person, one-vote' first choice election on Election Day that has been used in Maine for more than one hundred years. We will proceed with our constitutional concerns about the rank vote algorithm," Poliquin said in a statement.
It seems like this would be the 35th Congressional district flipped. The Republicans pretty much lost New England. It leaves only Collins and she is vulnerable in 2020.
Once in awhile I often post some of the most dumbest and disgusting things people do to your food and property.
When you work in the service industry, you are held to a high standard. Most Americans deserve quality service. It's a thankless job and is stressful.
Americans often work long hours and usually get little to no benefits for it.
Of course, everyone has a bad day. I have a bad day. However, I won't jeopardize my job to spite a rude customer. It's just not smart to do so.
We depend on good service to grow. If we offer bad service, we lose profit.
A man who was caught on camera spitting on a pizza at a Detroit Tigers game was fired out the cannon. He was charged with misdemeanor malcontent and destruction of property.
The dummy was charged with misdemeanor malcontent. It was previously felonious assault with bodily fluids.
Jaylon Kerley was charged for an incident that happened in September. He was working for Comerica Park Stadium's food service provider when he was filmed on camera shocking a loogy into the crust of a customer's pizza.
The video went viral and it forced the pizza provider Detroit Sportservice was forced to shut down its vendor stations. They immediately fired Kerley out the cannon.
They had to sanitize all the equipment, throw away all the food, have the Wayne County board of health certify the facilities were up to code.
Of course, Detroit Sportservice had to press charges against Kerley. He was indicted on misdemeanor charges and plead guilty to the disgusting acts.
His lawyer Carla Marable told the junk food media that he was remorseful and sorry for the acts. Under his agreement to in-house, Kerley had to tested for communicable diseases. He will likely be forced to pay for the damaged products, the cleanup and the certification fees. He will no longer be allowed on Comerica Park property. He will likely be forced to share his story to the public as a part of his in-house.
Comerica Park is the official stadium for the Detroit Tigers.
The person who filmed the act was likely forced out as well. Quinelle May said that Kerley had a "bad day" and didn't give a fuck about his actions. He said he gotten away with before.
Again, you can't fix stupid.
The fool is now nationally disgraced. He will have trouble finding work and people for the time being will look upon him as the guy who gave that extra topping on a pizza.
Mitch McConnell with Mitt Romney, Josh Hawley, Kevin Cramer, Marsha Blackburn, Mike Braun and Rick Scott. The new Republican Senators are white. Rick Scott is in a political fight as his lead shrinks in Florida Senate race and recount.
I dedicate this post to this Troll who often post remarks on World News Today. Once again, thank you for reading this blog that deals with issues with our community, the government and the junk food media.
This blog is run and operated by African Americans. We talk about black issues. I often contribute to most of the postings here on World News Today. Mostly mainstream.
Notable issues covered here on World News Today include Donald J. Trump, Republicans in Congress, Fox News and white nationalism spawned by the Trump and that network. We cover also Barack Obama, Democrats, celebrities in the news and police shooting unarmed people of color.
The blog leans progressive. We are unapologetically honest.
We are tolerant of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, economic and social standings.
We don't take advice from people who don't support our cause.
Again, we don't hold anything to your head telling you to read this blog. If you don't agree with the content, that's your problem. We are not going anywhere.
Hey, it's class photo time folks. The newly elected members of the House of Representatives will be the most diverse in American history. A record number of women and people of color have entered the House.
But without saying, there's a handful of Congressional races, two Senate races, a two governors races still in limbo. The House of Representatives had their freshman photo shoot and let's just say that the Democratic Party is looking a little more colorful.
The Democratic Party is the most diverse political party. There are more of people of color, women and religion diversity within the Democratic Party.
The new class. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Lucy McBath, Sharice Davids, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Jahana Hayes, Antonio Delgado, Lauren Underwood, Xochitl Torres Small and Michael San Nicholas join the 116th Congress.
The party that nominated and elected twice the first Black man as their leader and our 44th president.
The Republicans nominated a coalition of white men and white women. They might have their first Korean American woman if the California count is in her favor. They elected failed political candidates like carpetbagger Mitt Romney to the Senate. The tan line jackass Kevin McCarthy and that racist pedophile Jim Jordan squabble over Minority Leadership.
McCarthy came out ahead. That old southern redneck bigot Mitch McConnell will remain Majority Leader. He will continue to ram through ethically prone nominees to the courts and Donald J. Trump's team. They have only Joni Ernst as their top leader in high position.
The Democrats are likely going to have Nancy Pelosi retain the Speaker role. Some Democrats are calling for younger leadership. Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and Jim Clyburn are established leaders and extremely polarizing.
The Democrats swept the Republicans out to sea. The Blue Wave crashed and it did damage to Trump's vulnerable majority.
Dan Crenshaw (with eye patch) and his fellow Republican class are white.
The Republicans managed to hang on to some of their congressional districts. One in particular is Dan Crenshaw, an Iraqi war veteran who had lost his eye in combat.
Crenshaw is a Republican who replaced Ted Poe, the Republican of Texas.
The far right didn't have no quarrels with Donald J. Trump when he insulted John McCain and Humayun Khan. They sure had a disgust towards entertainer Pete Davidson.
The SNL comedian was joking about Crenshaw and it sparked an uproar.
Many of the Republicans were screaming that Davidson has disrespected veterans and combat war heroes. Davidson's father was a victim of the September 11th attacks and is coping over the breakup with Ariana Grande.
Again, Trump done it and no outrage from the loyalists like Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro, Laura Ingraham and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
Davidson did invite Crenshaw on SNL to formally apologize and take digs at him. Both said that political discourse in Washington, DC should be toned down.
It will fall on deaf ears.
Okay, let's be clear.
Republicans are still the party that is "ALL WHITE."
Yeah, they got Black Republicans in the current and future delegation. Tim Scott, Will Hurd and possibly Mia Love in the delegation. They have a handful of Hispanic and Asian American members within their ranks. Yet, the party is still catered to White men. The Republican Party is the party of white male privilege
Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti sent to the showers.
The lawyer for Stormy Daniels is having a terrible year. The lawyer, Michael Avenatti was booked into the Los Angeles County lockup after he came to his ex-wife's home. Allegedly, he served her a delicious helping of knuckle style chili.
A woman filed a complaint with the celebrity lawyer.
The law said that the alleged incident happened in an apartment in Century City, Los Angeles.
The unnamed woman was seen Wednesday running out an apartment and screaming into her cell phone while wearing sunglasses to conceal the face. She tasted the knuckle style chili with onions.
"I can't believe you did this to me," she said while yelling into a phone.
Security guards then let the woman back into the building.
Five minutes, Avenatti shows up and ran into the building chasing after her.
"She hit me first," Avenatti said in repeatedly.
"This is bullshit, this is fucking bullshit," he said angrily.
Avenatti then kicked the woman out of his apartment on Tuesday which was where the incident occurred.
The woman identified as Lisa Storie, is the ex-wife of the famed attorney who helped bring down Donald J. Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen. Storie denied she was the woman who tasted his cooking.
He was taken into custody and booked.
Avenatti denied the charges.
"I have never been physically abusive in my life nor was I last night," the lawyer said on Wednesday.
Avenatti had a string of bad luck since he took down Cohen.
He was representing Brett Kavanaugh accuser Julie Sweatnik, a woman who accused the Supreme Court Justice of tapping the drinks. That has gotten Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) angry. He recommended that Avenatti and Sweatnik face a criminal probe.
Avenatti who is exploring a 2020 bid for president made the remarks that the Democrats better elected a white man to take on Trump. That caused an uproar.
He also is representing a gay immigrant who confronted white extremist Tucker Carlson.
Carlson and Avenatti have an ongoing feud. Carlson calls him a "creepy porn lawyer" on his program.
I am certain this will get some attention.
Avenatti is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Did Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) give her opponent a reason to win?
Mike Espy is a long shot candidate for the U.S. Senate. He managed to take his underdog campaign to a run off against Republican senator Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi.
Espy is African American and is one of the many candidates who didn't get the name recognition as Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum. However, this run-off coming up in late November could change it.
Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) is the replacement for Thad Cochran. The old man retired abruptly and the Mississippi governor Phil Bryant appointed her to fill the term.
The lawmaker is a staunch supporter of Donald J. Trump and Mississippi went to him by 20 points.
In a deep red state like Mississippi, could Espy win?
Well it's not going to be an easy challenge.
Could we put another Black lawmaker in the U.S. Senate?
Over the weekend, a video surfaced showing the senator making a remark to a constituent.
"If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row"- Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith says in Tupelo, MS after Colin Hutchinson, cattle rancher, praises her.
In a video posted by the publisher of the Bayou Brief, a Louisiana blog, Hyde-Smith, who is white, embraced a supporter after he praised her and said before a cheering crowd, "If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row."
Hyde-Smith is now coming under fire from her Democratic challenger in the upcoming Nov. 27 runoff, Mike Espy, and the greater African-American community for evoking language reminiscent of lynchings that scar Mississippi's history.
The publisher of the Bayou Brief, who identified the Hyde-Smyth supporter as Colin Hutchinson, a cattle rancher, said the video was from a Nov. 2 event in Tupelo, in the northeastern corner of the state. The video has over 3 million views on Twitter.
Hyde-Smith sought to clarify her remarks in a statement issued Sunday.
"In a comment on Nov. 2, I referred to accepting an invitation to a speaking engagement," she said in the statement. "In referencing the one who invited me, I used an exaggerated expression of regard, and any attempt to turn this into a negative connotation is ridiculous."
During a speaking engagement in Jackson on Monday, Hyde-Smith repeatedly refused to answer reporters' questions about the comment, according to ABC News' affiliate WAPT.
The Democrats are now pouring money into the race. Hopefully, Espy could pull an upset.
It's going to be hard. And in a few weeks, we'll see if one of these contenders will be seated in the 116th Congress.
