Dirty cop goes to the iron college in the shooting of a Minnesota woman.
How many white cops get away with murder?
How many cops of color get away with murder?
The American and Australian junk food media is covering the verdict of dirty cop Mohamed Noor.
He was the cop that shot and killed Australian woman Justine Rusczyk Damond in 2016. Her death was one of the many events in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metroplex that got coverage.
While I am satisfied this dirty cop will face time in the iron college, I start to remind myself over how many other cops managed to shoot unarmed men of color and still walk.
Damond's death happened in the period of Philando Castile, the school worker who was gunned down by a Falcon Heights cop who shot him after a routine pull-over.
Noor showed no emotion when the verdict was read. His wife did weep and the family of Damond weeped. They were relieved that justice was served.
Noor was a four year member of the Minneapolis Police Department. He and his partner were responding to a call of a possible sexual assault.
There's justice for Justine. However, there's no justice for Philando Castile or Jamarr Clark.
Justine who came out of an alley in her pajamas and slippers went to the patrol car. It spooked Noor and he decided to use his service weapon believing his partner was in danger.
The jury didn't buy this nonsense. They said that he was a callous individual who put the public in danger by the actions committed on that night.
Noor claimed he heard a loud bang and it made him "fear for his life."
His partner, Matthew Harrity, had fear in his eyes, yelled, "Oh Jesus!" and went for his gun but had difficulty pulling it out of the holster.
Noor was fired after the charges were presented to him. He was convicted of third degree murder, second degree manslaughter and reckless endangerment. The second degree murder charge was dropped.
The dirty cop faces up to 30 years in the iron college. He will have a right to appeal his sentence.
Justice for Justine but no justice for Philando or Jamarr. They have been robbed by a system of status quo. Where white cops (including Latino/Native American Geronimo Yanze) can shoot first, cry second and get off the murder charges last. It's a status quo that we must change.
Damond's death led to the mayor of Minneapolis Betsy Hodges to be defeated in the Democratic primary. The new mayor Jacob Frey promised that changes will come.
Minneapolis Police have been scrutinized for the way they handle issues. From the shootings to the white extremists running over people at the Jamarr Clark and Philando Castile protests, the law hasn't really made life better for people of color.
Justine Damond was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. She was engaged to her American boyfriend at the time of her death.
Great podcast on the Anthony Sowell murder. Two Women of Color discuss this sensitive topic regarding race, gender, class, and how Cleveland ignore the murders of 11 Black women from 2007-2009.
South Bend mayor and presidential contender Pete Buttigieg was the victim of a vicious smear campaign spread by the internet troll and far-white lunatic Jacob Wohl.
Buttigieg, the mayor of Indiana's fourth largest city is running a progressive for the Democratic nomination for president. He is an openly gay candidate running and he's got a mainstream buzz.
The Daily Beast uncovered a plot to derail Buttigieg's campaign. It was done on behalf of Donald J. Trump. They report the details of the operatives' attempts emerged as one man suddenly surfaced with a vague and uncorroborated allegation that Buttigieg had sexually assaulted him. The claim was retracted.
The source of this allegation was done by Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman and Wohl.
The source spoke to The Daily Mail said that Burkman and Wohl made clear that their goal was to kneecap Buttigieg's momentum in the 2020 race. The man asked to remain anonymous out of a concern that the resulting publicity might imperil his mayoral duties and presidential campaign.
They believe that Buttigieg is a serious threat to Trump. So they wanted to give the notion that an openly gay candidate could be a threat to your children.
Some guy claiming he's Hunter Kelly published a post on social media page Medium with the claims that Buttigieg sexually assaulted him in February. That was the month Buttigieg declared his intentions.
Kelly came forth. The Daily Beast reached out the accuser.
The guy said that he was unaware of the situation but said that the plot to derail Democrats is real.
Pete Buttigieg will expect more smear campaigns against him.
Buttigieg has became a viable candidate in this race. He is placed third in the race.
Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are the top tiers so far.
Again, I am going to make this clear. Donald J. Trump will LIKELY win the 2020 Presidential Election. There is no viable Democratic candidate right now. Republicans support Trump 95%. Democrats support Trump 10%. That is problematic. That means if Trump does win the Rust Belt states (i.e. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa), it's a wrap. The Democrats have lost Florida and Ohio for the time being. The two states went to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 respectfully.
But given the mood of these states, who Ohio has as governor and what Florida has as governor, expect dirty tricks and voter purging.
Buttigieg still has to win over the religious community. Those so-called Christians who value JESUS and their GOD. The Black community who still has slight resentment towards LGBTQ individuals and of course the far-white.
Wohl and his partner Laura Loomer tried to infiltrate a town hall being sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). They trolled Minneapolis this year. They were trying to pay people to accuse Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of being a secret terrorist and having inappropriate relationships with family members.
Support for an openly gay president doesn't seem to faze many. Changes are coming. Maybe Mayor Pete has a chance to win this!
A stunt that has gotten fans of slain rapper Nipsey Hussle fuming.
Some white woman decided to tag a memorial mural to the rapper in Connecticut and many people are commenting on the act.
The woman identified as Kaitlyn Renee or "Kay Kay" went to social media to defend her act. She made herself a mark. The domestic terrorist street gangs might come after her.
WOWWWW!!! Look at this ATTENTION SEEKING girl defacing NIPSEY HUSSLE’s mural. Babygirl needs a THERAPIST stat!?!๐คฆ๐พ♀️๐คท๐พ♀️ She’s wild disrespectful๐คฏ๐๐๐ #NipseyHussle#blacktwitterpic.twitter.com/cBVBNscZru
It was seen by a local man who began filming from the top of his apartment complex.
In the video, the woman can be seen putting up the letters SK over the mural, and in addition to putting up cherries and penises. She also gives herself a shout out and ask people to add her on social media.
A person who was on the ground filming said "don't cover his face."
This happened in early April but the videos went viral as of now.
This was in Hartford and it was done by Corey Pane who is known Joey Batts. He had to repaint over the parts that woman covered.
Nipsey was gunned down on March 31 at his clothing store in Los Angeles. The terrorist who shot him and two other men is being held in the county lockup on murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The charges could put him in jeopardy of the DEATH card.
If you didn't know this, you will know now.
Nipsey was a Blue.....
Nipsey Hussle's death will not be in vein.
He was formerly a part of the domestic terrorist group The Crips.
They have placed a "green light" on the guy who murdered the rapper. They could put a "green light" on this woman. I almost feel bad for her. Because she may not even see it coming.
Either she would get socked in the face by a Blue or trolled by a hacker. Who knows?
Maybe we might be doing a "What happened to..." if the terrorist is plotting a hit on the woman.
Nipsey leaves behind his partner Lauren London and two children.
This is by far the most White House turnover in a modern presidency. This imbecile had a lot of turnover. Some have complained that he's too busy watching cable news and getting proposals from these agitating trolls.
Today, the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is out. Vilified by Donald J. Trump and the far-right agitators like Sean "Softball" Hannity, Rosenstein took over the investigation into Trump's association with Russian operatives.
He was the guy who hired former FBI director and special prosecutor Robert Mueller to investigate Trump. He stayed on at least until William Barr took control of the U.S. Justice Department.
As predicted, Barr would immediately end the investigation, release a redacted Mueller report and refuse to appear under House Democrats subpoenas.
Rosenstein who was overseeing the Mueller investigation was vilified by the far-right.
His old boss the elf, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions (aka Magoo) was fired last year after Trump had gotten fed up with his old allies being indicted on charges.
Rosenstein said in a few weeks he will be out of Trump's hair. I don't believe it though. Trump will likely fire him out the cannon before he even sets off to the sunset.
Rosenstein sent out a statement saying that his decision to leave was well planned and the junk food media's coverage of him and Trump feuding was a thing of the past.
"We enforce the law without fear or favor because credible evidence is not partisan, and truth is not determined by opinion polls," Rosenstein wrote. "We ignore fleeting distractions and focus our attention on the things that matter, because a republic that endures is not governed by the news cycle."
Rosenstein often found himself the target President Donald Trump, especially after hiring Mueller in 2017. Shortly after being confirmed as deputy attorney general, Rosenstein wrote a memo criticizing former FBI Director James Comey amid Comey's investigation into Russia's 2016 actions, which Trump used as part of his reasoning in firing Comey.
After Comey was fired, Rosenstein brought Mueller in as special counsel to continue the investigation, and Mueller also looked at the question of obstruction of justice.
In the days after Trump fired Comey, Rosenstein discussed wearing a "wire" to record conversations with Trump and recruiting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, The New York Times first reported and CNN later confirmed.
Earlier this month Rosenstein defended his handling of the Russia investigation and recalled during his Senate confirmation hearing that he had promised to "do it right" and "take it to the appropriate conclusion."
"It's not our job to render conclusive factual findings. We just decide whether it is appropriate to file criminal charges," Rosenstein said at an event in New York.
Mueller's report raised fresh questions about Rosenstein's role as both witness in and supervisor of the investigation into possible obstruction of justice by Trump. The redacted version of Mueller's report released disclosed a previously unknown episode where Rosenstein resisted Trump's efforts to get him to take the blame for firing Comey.
The fact that Rosenstein being fired by Trump only adds fuel to an already burning dumpster fire.
Many believe that Trump and his allies are getting away with high crimes and misdemeanors. Given that Republicans have demonized Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, they have overlooked the criminal acts of past Republicans.
Just when you thought George W. Bush left a nasty taste in Amerikkka's mouth, now you got Trump.
The washed up reality television star who became our President of the United States. Uh, I hate saying that.
The 20 or more candidates running for the Democratic nomination can't win. Trump and Republicans have a long-term plan to keep themselves in power for generations. By not voting, we got what they wanted. A government that caters to the needs of the well-off, the elitists and the well-off whites and their bootlicking supporters.
Rosenstein at the end of the day caved to pressure. Had he kept the investigation going, we would finally know the truth. Instead we are left with questions about how they concluded that Trump didn't do anything wrong when they rarely interviewed him.
Rod Jay Rosenstein is an American attorney serving as United States Deputy Attorney General since 2017. Prior to his current appointment, he served as a United States Attorney for the District of Maryland. He is married to his wife Lisa and has children.
Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. Once you're dead.....you're dead. There's no coming back from that. I am sick and tired of the phony sympathy. We don't know these people. We don't care about this stuff. We are numb to gun violence. It's not us (yet).
We hear this time after time. I am sick of inaction from our lawmakers. I am sick of the gun lobby pushing rollbacks on laws. I am sick of hearing from lawmakers who take money from the gun lobby while offering crocodile tears.
They don't give two fucks about you losing a loved one. They don't care about your funeral costs.
You don't get free burials. You have to pay for this out of your pocket. Our American government won't supply the necessary means to help you pay for expenses lost in the wake of gun violence.
If they do, it takes years to get. Then of course, the Republicans want to say that Black and Brown families have single parent homes more than whites. You know why?
Because either cops or some random asshole is killing that Black father.
There's more racial and religious attacks in the United States. People who are Jewish, Muslim or Sikh are under attack from people who have hatred in their hearts and inspiration from far-right oddities.
I am ranting about this because this stuff is an everyday occurrence. The Gun Violence Memorial is the only thing that keeps names of individual who didn't make the national news.
The Mass Shooting Tracker does cover every mass shooting in the United States and Canada. How many mass shootings in Canada? We don't know! Because they rarely have these events.
In Baltimore, Maryland, there were eight people shot at a cookout near a church. One of the victims has died. The incident happened on Sunday in a neighborhood where children were playing.
Police commissioner Michael Harrison said that gunfire started around 5pm in west Baltimore.
A unidentified male approached the crowd on foot and began firing in what the police commissioner called, "a very tragic, very cowardly shooting."
Someone in the crowd was targeted and the terrorist managed to ambush the victims when they're at the most vulnerable.
Acting mayor of Baltimore, Jack Young said that this terrorist's act of violence was disgraceful and vow to bring those involved to justice.
"It wasn't anything dealing with the church. I want to make that very clear," said Young.
The Baltimore Police later said a man was killed, but didn't give his age. It said that five of the survivors were men from the ages of 27 to 58, and a 30 year old woman.
Cookouts were a part of community outreach. It was supposed to curb gun violence. Unfortunately, the decision to have cookouts might come into question. Those who want the status quo continue to allow gun violence to happen in Baltimore.
Mass shooting in West Chester Township, Ohio.
And the latest mass shooting happened in West Chester Township, Ohio, a boom-burb located 20 miles from Cincinnati.
The Butler County boys and West Chester Police are investigating a mass shooting inside an apartment complex. The spokesperson for the community said that this incident is terrible.
They vow to find the individuals who committed this act of violence.
"They are looking for any evidence they might find," said Barb Wilson, spokesperson for West Chester Township.
The law believe that a shooter that killed four members of a Sikh family is not among the dead.
The victims were all adults who lived there said West Chester Police chief Joel Herzog.
There were reports of a fire inside the apartment, and that came from unattended food that was being prepared at the time of the shooting. The chief said that the shooter ambushed the family during the late night and fled the state.
The only lead was a man calling 911 saying that his wife and three other family members were on the ground and bleeding. The caller hung up after dispatchers wanted to know what happened.
The terrorist are on the loose. Once caught, they will face murder charges. These charges in Maryland can carry LIFE in the iron college. These charges in Ohio can carry LIFE in the iron college or the DEATH card.
Congress of course wants gun violence to continue. Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Republicans, Democrats and the National Rifle Association will not do anything to curb gun violence.
There's got to be a mass shooting every day in the United States. Only the Poway synagogue shooting managed to get the nation's attention. All mass shootings deserve attention.
Scratch that. No mass shootings should happen in this country. But since we live in Amerikkka, that's the norm.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
So the news is devastating. The famed actor and director John Singleton was taken off life support.
He passed away at the age of 51.
An icon in Black cinema is gone.
The famed director who was best known for the Oscar nominated movie Boyz 'N The Hood suffered a massive stroke last week. His family announced he will be taken off life support.
"It is with heavy hearts we announce that our beloved son, father and friend, John Daniel Singleton will be taken off life support today," a spokesman for the family said today. "This was an agonizing decision, one that our family made, over a number of days, with the careful counsel of John's doctors."
John Singleton is a prolific, ground-breaking director who changed the game and open doors in Hollywood, a world that was just a few miles away, yet worlds away, from the neighborhood in which he grew up.
John grew up in South Central L.A. with a love of cinema that showed itself early on. He went on to become one of the most lauded graduates of the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Within months og graduating, John returned to South Central to shoot his debut feature, Boyz N The Hood. The movie, which was unusually shot in sequence, masterfully captured a story of friendship, youth and the peril of hard choices in a community marred by gang violence. The film earned special honors at its debut at Cannes and Singleton went onto become the youngest director and first African-American writer-director nominated for the Academy Award.
"We want to thank the amazing doctors at Cedars-Sinai Hospital for their expert care and kindness and we again want thank all of John’s fans, friends and colleagues for all of the love and support they showed him during this difficult time," the statement continued.
Singleton was known also for the movies Poetic Justice, Higher Learning, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Baby Boy, Shaft, Four Brothers, Abduction and Rosewood. He also had production in Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan, and Illegal Tender.
He has directed for television shows like Snowfall, American Crime Story, Empire and Rebel.
Singleton quietly struggled with hypertension. According to Deadline, more than 40% of African American men and women have high blood pressure, which also develops earlier in life and is usually more severe.
The famed director leaves behinds his mother Shelia Ward, his father Danny Singleton and his children, Justice, Maasai, Hader, Cleopatra, Selenesol, Isis and Seven.
Singleton gave Tupac Shakur, Tyrese, Snoop Dogg, Taraj P. Henson, Samuel L. Jackson, Regina King, Morris Chestnut, Ice Cube, Busta Rhymes, Michael Rapaport, Tyra Banks, Janet Jackson, Terrence Howard and Cuba Gooding, Jr. a chance. They performed to their best.
He will be missed by many. Especially if you're a fan of Black cinema.
The victim of the Poway synagogue shooting was revealed. She died saving others.
The individuals who committed these acts of violence are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Besides the mass shooting in Poway, California which claim the life of a 60 year old woman, the United States still moves on. In other parts of the country, there were mass shootings, physical violence and of course the usual "thoughts and prayers."
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't bring back the dead or heal the wounded. It leaves families grieving and those who commit these acts name recognition. I refuse to name the suspect of a mass shooting. As far as I am concerned, the shooter is a terrorist. It's a race, nationality or religion for a mass shooter. It's senseless destruction.
Lori Kaye was the victim of the synagogue shooting in California. Apparently she dove into the shooter direction shield the rabbi and the little girl who was shot as well.
Lori died a hero.
Her grief stricken husband didn't even know who were the victims of a mass shooting until he got the news his wife was one of the victims.
The terrorist was a 19-year old incel who had wrote a posting complaining about how he's a fucked up white boy who wanted to fuck up other's lives. He has no remorse for his actions.
The state and federal charges carry the DEATH card. This would be the second mass shooting in a synagogue in the last six months.
Congress fails to pass legislation to curb gun violence. Donald J. Trump has reminded those attending the National Rifle Association's Annual Convention in Indianapolis that he's a friend of the Second Amendment.
Oliver North is feuding with Wayne LaPierre over misuse of funds. North was ousted after barely one year as the NRA-ILA's president. The New York Attorney General is opening a state probe into the gun lobby's funds. It might prompt it to lose its tax-exemption status. The NRA has bled money since March for Our Lives sponsored boycotts against businesses that sponsor the organization.
The country is more divided than ever.
And gun violence is still an epidemic.
18 year old woman walking her sister to the store was gunned down in a drive-by shooting. Marilyn Montanez was an innocent young woman who didn't deserve her fate.
A high school student in Yonkers, New York was gunned down. Her name was Marilyn Montanez and she was 18 years old. Her family said she was taking a 9-year old sister to the bodega when she was shot in the head by a drive-by.
Montanez was just minding her business and helping her sister finish a school project when this happened.
According to the Yonkers Police, several people were involved in an altercation prior to the shooting incident. Surveillance footage from the scene shows two young men getting out of a vehicle and chasing others down the street.
One of the suspects fired at least one shot in the direction of the group but struck the innocent teen.
The family has to start a GoFundMe Page to cover her funeral costs. The family also believe that Marilyn's little sister is going through traumatic stress. They believe it devastated her.
No one was arrested in this tragedy.
Dwane Simmons had a future cut short. His friend Corey Balletine will have to endure long lasting injuries that could sideline his just started NFL career.
Then we also head to Kansas where a standout football star was gunned down. His friend who also suffered gunshot wounds was just drafted to the NFL. Washburn University football player Dwane Simmons was killed in an off-campus shooting on Sunday.
Simmons was killed in the street in cold blood.
Coery Ballentine who was just drafted to the NFL was shot also. He was shot and faces a non-life threatening wound.
Simmons and Ballentine were attending a local party when this violence happened.
The president of Washburn University said that he devastated by the news of his students being involved in an act of violence.
"Anytime we lost a student it is a sad occasion, but it is particularly poignant to lose a student through a senseless act. Both Dwane and Corey have been great examples and representatives of the football team and of Washburn University in general. This was a terrible way to end a day which should have been a day of celebration and a day to look forward to Dwane's upcoming year at Washburn and the beginning of Corey's professional career."
Ballentine was drafted to the New York Giants in Round 6, Pick 180.
White terrorist killed his family and a woman he carjacked.
Lastly, another mass shooting that didn't make the news. It was a terrorist who massacred his parents and a 12 year old along with a woman who he tried to carjack. He was caught without a bullet fired.
This terrorist was arrested in the town of Westmoreland, Tennessee.
He murdered several relatives of his family and killed a woman after stealing her car during the violent rampage.
The terrorist's parents include David and Clara Cummins, his uncle Charlie Hosale and a 12-year old child. Other victims included grandparents and cousins.
The terrorist had a lengthy criminal history which includes robbery, domestic violence, felonious assault and theft.
Sumner County boys were searching for this terrorist over the weekend. He was armed when the law apprehended him. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI are now looking into the property of his parents.
White terrorist killed his family and a woman who he stole a vehicle from.
Forensic scientists discovered another body at the house which led to a death total of seven.
Now I would love to say that these incident do not go without warning.
Everyday at least 94 people are killed by firearms.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Damn shame that Trump, Republicans, Democrats and the agitators of the junk food media are obsessed with blaming each other than working together to solve this crisis.
That's alright though.
We reap what we sow.....
Amerikkka, the land of the free and bloodshed of the dead!
Thoughts and prayers won't solve gun violence. Legislation and confidence. We will achieve that goal. Regardless of what you think, I am in favor of gun control and keeping these weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of future terrorists.
The military is prime recruitment for white extremists.
The U.S. Armed Forces is willing to accept anything in its ranks.
Well HuffPost uncovered the military is rooting out white extremists within its ranks. There were a handful of members of a white extremist group willing to serve the military. They are being trained by the federal government on survival skills.
Soon as they are out of the military, they recruit young white kids who are disgruntled, incel, angry at the establishment and very supportive of Donald J. Trump's Make America Great Again philosophy.
Perfect combination to recruiting the next mass shooter or bomber.
Well, I'm a little late on this.... We just had that mass shooting in California.
And the one in Tennessee.
HuffPost said that four members of the U.S. Armed Forces are under investigation for their ties to this white extremist group that I will not mention on this blog.
There were at total of 11 members who have infiltrated our military. They have masqueraded under the guise of helping their fellow man. We should have know they're helping their own kind.
The websites Gab, 4Chan and 8Chan have been the social media for white extremism.
The Charlottesville Unite The Right rally brought Amerikkka's worst out.
In February, this U.S. Coast Guard who federal prosecutors allege corresponded with an unnamed terrorist on how to stockpile firearms. He had a hitlist of progressives and media figures he believed were destroying the "white homeland."
There were other incidents that included two former Marines, a Florida National Gaurd and Air Force sergeant were outed by anti-fascist activists.
We came so far!
Welcome to Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka. Where the U.S. military is a vehicle for recruitment of hateful bigots and extremists.
Richard Lugar passed away after an illness. A longtime moderate that had won praise from both sides.
The only moderate Republican that won praise from both sides of the aisle passed away.
Richard Lugar, the former Indiana senator from 1977 to 2013 had passed away from an illness.
He was the founder of the Lugar Center in Washington, DC.
"His loving wife Char, his four sons, Mark, Bob, John and David and their families were with him throughout his short illness in the hospital," the presser from the Lugar Center said.
Lugar was a longtime Republican senator who had experience in foreign policy.
Mike Pence, Sen. Mike Bruan (R-IN), Sen. Todd Young (R-IN), Evan Bayh, Joe Donnelly, Gov. Eric Holcomb, Barack Obama, Mitch Daniels and Indiana U.S. and state lawmakers express sympathy towards Lugar.
"Senator Lugar's contributions to the life of our nations are countless. Richard Lugar was a leader not only in the Senate but also on the world stage, where he worked tirelessly to bring pressure to end apratheid in South Africa and enforce treaties that destroyed the Soviet weapons of mass destruction. As the longest serving member of Congress from Indiana, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, he leaves behind a legacy of public service that will inspire Hooisers for generations," said Pence.
Lugar was always considered a moderate at current standings. He never stood a chance in Donald J. Trump's Republican Party.
Lugar was defeated in a 2012 Republican primary against former Indiana treasurer Richard Murdock who had once said that it's "god's will" for a rape victim to carry the child.
Murdock's defeat to Joe Donnelly was biter. The Republican thought they could easily pick up a seat.
Mike Bruan, a former U.S. Congressman would soon beat Donnelly in 2018.
Obama issued a statement on Lugar's death.
"For 36 years, Richard Lugar proved that pragmatism and decency work -- not only in Washington but all over the world. We held different political beliefs, but traveling overseas together, he took me under his wing as we toured munition storage facilities and talked over meals of borscht. Dick always stuck to the facts, he exhibited the truth that common courtesy can speak across cultures. His passing is a reminder of the constant and pressing need to expand international non-proliferation agreements. And it's a call to remember what a public servant can be."
As a Rhodes scholar and member of the U.S. Navy, Lugar was the mayor of Indianapolis before he would soon find his calling in the U.S. Senate.
Former President Barack Obama honors Lugar with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Both sides of the chambers have praised Lugar during his time in the public service. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Barack Obama in 2014.
He was one of the many Republicans who left the senate believing that their party has gone off the deep end.
To this day, Republicans continue to push forth kookspiracies about the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Being peddled by far-white agitators in the junk food media, it's now more partisan than it's been before.
The Lugar Center had ranked lawmakers by their voting record and stances on issues.
Take one Mo Brooks, the Republican congressman from Alabama. He is considered one of the least bipartisan lawmakers in Washington. He is considered a far-white lawmaker.
Last month, he read the book of Mein Kampf on the floor of the House in regards to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her Green New Deal proposals.
Sure wish we had a Richard Lugar in the senate. The Republicans in the senate now are far off the cliff. They relish in division and divisiveness. Mitch McConnell is the prime example of what's wrong with Washington.
The junk food media fails to cover him. They rather cover AOC, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
