The South Carolina Democratic Primary has declared a winner. Former vice president Joe Biden managed to eek out a victory against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in a race that could have ended his campaign.
The former vice president had disappointing losses in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. The state of South Carolina felt that a candidate who has ties to Barack Obama was suitable. Matter of fact, many Blacks in the South are very skeptical of Sanders because of his policies and populist stances.
Biden easily trounced his opponents in a state that has a strong Black Democratic majority.
Trolls like Shaun King, former civil rights activist turned Sanders backer have called the Biden victory a travesty. I'm starting to lose faith in this guy. He's been called a swindler and fraud by Black Lives Matter leaders. I am starting to see how he operates whenever he's online and doing his "tours of justice."
The race could be solely down to four contenders. Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg and Joe Biden. The race went south for Tom Steyer who had the backing of hip-hop act Juvenile.
Steyer managed to "Back that Vote Up" on the campaign trial while jamming to Juvie The Great's classic hits.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is still in the race but her chances have dwindled down severely.
Her constant attacks on Sanders, Bloomberg and Biden didn't help with progressives who are lockstep with the Vermont senator and current frontrunner.
Warren congratulated Biden on his victory but proceeded to call him a candidate too eager to cut deals with Republicans. She said that his proposals on trade and business are bad for the middle class.
Latest polls in Massachusetts has Sanders leading in the polls against Warren. Warren represents this state and it could be a bruising if he comes out the victor.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) also has a narrower path to victory. The state she represents, Minnesota is favoring Sanders over her.
"Today is a great day because full comeback starts in South Carolina and then comes here to North Carolina," Biden said at the St. Augustine University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Sexual predator tricked a lesbian into a friendship and then raped her.
A sexual predator is under arrest after he raped a female on an Atlanta MARTA rail train.
The predator struck up a friendship with the victim in August 2015. He told the woman he was gay so that she was under the impression that their relationship is platonic.
The Fulton County District Attorney, Paul L. Howard, Jr. announced the news Wednesday, while also providing shocking new details on the case.
In a statement, the DA stated that the predator met his victim at the transit station. The pair regularly rode the train together, and the predator lured the woman -- who is a lesbian in a long-term relationship -- into a false friendship.
He told her that he was gay and she was under the impression that their relationship was strictly platonic and they eventually exchanged phone numbers.
In September 2015, the victim missed her connecting bus and the predator offered to give her a ride home, according to prosecutors. While en route, he told the woman that he needed to stop by his house and picked up some marijuana.
MARTA is the Atlanta transit service that aids over 2 million travelers.
The woman accompanied him inside, at which point he suddenly began strangling her before he pushed her into his bedroom and began to rape her.
She told the investigators that she heard another man's voice in the house and "was terrified that if she screamed, [the predator] would in fact do as he said."
The victim managed to subsequently flee the home and three miles back to her own residence.
She went to the Atlanta Medical Center for treatment, where police were called.
The victim said that she described the interior to the home and the victim's DNA was found inside her underwear in a laundry hamper.
The predator claims the sexual encounter was consensual, but he was soon arrested. This month this predator was convicted of his criminal act. He is facing a possible LIFE in the iron college and an enrollment into Offender U as a TIER III.
Here's a video of Florida men who were registered as sexual offenders living under a highway bridge.
The iconic grocer who founded Trader Joe's passed away after a long illness.
Joseph Coulombe, founder of Trader Joe's died in Pasadena, California.
Coulombe's son, also named Joe, confirmed that his father died on Friday after battling a long illness and receiving hospice care.
"We're going to miss him a lot," said Joe, who lives in Seattle, Washington, with his wife telling the local junk food media.
"I think people are going to remember the wonderful Trader Joe's concept he put in place, and especially his treatment of his employees. He really cared about them."
Joe remembers his father as an impressive businessman with an admirable curiosity about the world and tendency to think outside the box.
Coulombe was survived by his wife of 67 years, three children and six grandchildren.
From the time he opened his first store in Pasadena, California, in 1967 until his death Friday at age 89, Coulombe watched his namesake business rise from a cult favorite of educated but underpaid young people — and a few hippies — to a retail giant with more than 500 outlets in over 40 states.
A giant yes, but one that across more than half a century has never lost its reputation for friendly service from employees decked out in goofy Hawaiian shirts, a newsletter that looks like it was published in the 1890s, and rows and rows of high-quality, moderately priced healthy food and great wine, even if you sometimes can’t ever again find exactly the same thing.
“He wanted to make sure whatever was sold in our store was of good value,” said Coulombe’s son, also named Joe, who added that his father died following a long illness. “He always did lots of taste tests. My sisters and I remember him bringing home all kinds of things for us to try. At his offices he had practically daily tastings of new products. Always the aim was to provide good food and good value to people.”
He achieved that by buying directly from wholesalers and cutting out the middleman, in many cases slapping the name Trader Joe’s on a bag of nuts, trail mix, organic dried mango, honey-oat cereal or Angus beef chili. He named several products after his daughters Charlotte and Madeleine and gave quirky names to others. Among them were Trader Darwin vitamins and a non-alcoholic sparkling juice called Eve’s Apple Sparkled by Adam.
He prided himself on checking out every vintage of wine from California’s Napa Valley, including Trader Joe’s standby, Charles Shaw, affectionately known as Two-Buck Chuck because it sold for $1.99. (It still does in the California stores, although shipping costs have increased the price in other states.)
“He sold a lot of better wines too,” his son noted with a laugh, recalling trips the family made to France to seek them out.
After selling Trader Joe’s to German grocery retailer Aldi in 1979, Coulombe remained as its CEO until 1988, when he left to launch a second career as what he called a “temp,” coming in as interim CEO or consultant for several large companies in transition. He retired in 2013.
He eschewed promotional gimmicks like loyalty clubs or loss-leader sales, getting the word out with brief radio spots and the Trader Joe’s “Fearless Flyer” newsletter, whose old-style appearance was inspired by another money-saving effort. He wanted to dress up the newsletter’s stories with illustrations he cut out of magazines, but he made sure he only took ones on which the copyrights had expired.
Trader Joe's is a popular grocery store.
He passed such savings on not only to his customers but employees, which Trader Joe’s boasts are among retail’s best compensated, with medical, dental, vision and retirement plans and annual salary increases the company says range from 7% to 10%. Many workers have remained with Trader Joe’s for decades.
“He just had a visit yesterday from employee No. 1,” his daughter Charlotte said shortly before her father’s death.
He and his wife also became well known in Southern California philanthropic circles, contributing time and money to such causes as Planned Parenthood, the Los Angeles Opera and the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens.
Stories differ on how the name Trader Joe’s came about, with some saying it was inspired by a ride on Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise boat or a book he read called "White Shadows in the South Seas" or his favorite college hangout being a Trader Vic’s bar near Stanford.
Coulombe, who loved to travel, did acknowledge over the years that he had a fascination with the South Seas and put Trader into the name and a nautical theme inside the stores to lend that exotic appeal to customers.

Kroger once again leaves an area where residents in need of fresh foods must travel miles to find it. South Springfield, Ohio is a food desert.
Remember Jesse Jackson called for a boycott of Kroger when it was closing up locations in Memphis, Tennessee. It looks like he might need to restart a national boycott.
In less than a week, Kroger will formally close the S. Limestone St. location in Springfield, Ohio.
There will be only two stores left in the city.
The store located on the city's southside. Once it leaves, it leaves Springfield residents south of downtown in a food desert.
Now it's closure has sparked intense criticism of the timing. At a time when Springfield residents need a decent grocer, Kroger abandons them.
Residents were blindsided by the news of the closure.
"I was devastated. I grew up right on West Southern -- so walking distance to the store," said Stephen Massey. "This is way more than just 2020 and the store leaving -- but this can affect generations to come."
City leaders condemned Kroger's decision by saying that the corporation's decision to close this location. The previous location Kroger closed in Springfield was the N. Limestone St. location about five years ago.
City leaders told the packed auditorium at The Dome what they did to negotiate a less bitter end:
Kroger officials agreed to donate to the city the building and the land on which it sits
Kroger officials agreed to give more than $31,000 to support shuttle services to other grocery stores
Kroger officials agreed to contribute at least $19,000 to the food bank.
City Commissioner Dr. David Estrop said, “the bottom line is we negotiated in good faith and got everything we wanted from Kroger. You better take that home.”
The company would not have come to the table had it not been for city residents pressing their demands, he said.
City leaders encouraged residents to remain positive as they work to create a long-term solution.
"When it became clear to us that Kroger would not keep the South Limestone store open, we asked the company to do right by our community," City Manager Bryan Heck said in a prepared statement before Tuesday night’s public meeting.
"Closing this store left the community without fresh food options and would create difficulties for some individuals to reach other grocery stores due to mobility issues."
Heck said officials are moving forward in talks with potential developers and community organizations to map out a future for the South Limestone property.
"This community is resilient; I'm proud of the way that this community comes together to find solutions to difficult issues," Heck said. "We succeed when we work together, it's when we are at our best, and this community is committed to finding positive outcomes in the wake of Kroger's decision."
What will happen to the building remains uncertain.
But for right now, one of the short-term plans includes help from the Second Harvest Food Bank’s mobile food pantry program, which will set up at the Kroger site and dispatch its vehicles from the building.
The elites of conservative agitation come to CPAC 2020.
The Conservative Political Action Conference is being held in Gaylord National Hotel Resort in Bar Harbor, Maryland and of course, this is the biggest event for many political agitators to strategize for the 2020 U.S. elections.
These bigots will come in droves to hear Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Diamond & Silk and numerous others toss word vomit to conservatives and Republicans across the country.
The South Carolina Democratic primaries are tomorrow, Republicans and conservative agitators are calling for their supporters to pick Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in order to hurt Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg's chances at winning the Democratic nomination.
Trump will likely speak at CPAC to address how he's upset he was impeached, the coronavirus, the agenda, socialism, name calling candidates, Russia and the junk food media will be his word vomit.
Protester wanted to let CPAC know that Trump slept with Stormy Daniels.
Pence, who was appointed the czar overseeing the coronavirus will talk about religion, how Trump's policies are under attack, his proud support of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and the Republicans acquitting Trump and calls to religious leaders to rally supports.
Yesterday, Pence spoke at CPAC and a man dressed up as Trump and a woman interrupted his speech.
They were promptly removed from the event.
CPAC offers the usual antics of Republicans. They'll scream about a perceived threat to the country, blame the Democrats, the media, the elite and those who aren't white as the cause of their problems.
They proudly chant that Trump is going to win. They will find ways to keep The White House, Congress and the Supreme Court conservative for generations.
They will find a candidate like Sanders, Warren, Biden, Buttigieg and Bloomberg. They will take their weakness and amplify it to the fullest to make sure they're going to be burdened by some gaffe, some vote or something said (in the past) to keep the public distracted. They will do whatever it takes to keep Democrats from regaining control of Washington.
So here's the speakers. (Not a full list)
Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States.
Mike Pence, the Vice President of the United States.
Matt Schlapp, American Conservative Union president and CNN contributor.

James O'Keefe, provocateur, founder of Project Veritas, likely to be pardoned by Donald J. Trump.
Dan Bongino, former Secret Service agent, Fox News/Blaze TV commentator and activist.
Notably absent is the senior executive chairman of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre.
The gun lobby often appears at the CPAC. Due to financial constraints and a feud within its ranks, LaPierre won't be at this event.
Not all white nationalists were banned from this event. Obviously Richard Spencer, (not white) Michelle Malkin, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ann Coulter and Tom Tancredo were not invited.
Also absent was Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT). He was banned from CPAC after he voted to convict Trump during the impeachment trial.
Who might show up at the event will likely be former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. He labeled himself a "Trumpocrat" after Trump commuted his sentence.
Watch it if you can stomach a bunch of bigots talking shit and claiming they're doing shit.
*It was revealed that comedian Sasha Baron Cohen was the protester who interrupted Mike Pence. It should prompt security concerns for the White House.
Okay, the victims of the latest mass shooting in the United States (that got news coverage) are released. Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Tom Evers, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and the eight U.S. lawmakers from Wisconsin will offer the "word vomit."
The word vomit is usually their "thoughts and prayers" or "their hearts going out to..." whenever there's a mass shooting in which more than four people are shot in an event. There's so many factors to a mass shooting but the one thing that constantly sticks out is the fact that the shooter is often engaged in a domestic issue. Not all mass shooters are Muslim. Not all mass shooters are criminals with known history.
Most mass shooters are the NICE GUYS.
The so-called "good guy with a gun" who got spurn by society. The good guy who was hurt by a relationship, a job loss, political agitating and suffering from mental illness.
I want to scratch out mental illness as an excuse. Not all mentally ill people cause harm to individuals. There's some who want to blame entities that have nothing to do with the mindset of the shooter.
Often if the shooter is Black, they're going to blame Black leaders, rap music, video games and violent movies.
The five men were co-workers of this terrorist.
If the shooter is a Muslim, they're going to blame the religion, call it an act of terrorism, place blame on foreign nations like Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. Take the focus off the gun violence to focus on banning individuals from countries with a Muslim majority population.
If the shooter is white, they're going to call the shooter a Democrat. They'll claim that now isn't the time to politicize gun violence, say the shooter was mentally ill and make honorary roads and murals to the victims.
The state house and the U.S. Congress will pass ridiculous laws that ban you from smoking, vaping, abusing domestic animals, talking on digital devices while driving, visiting online ads for escorts, punish you for digitally downloading music or movies, force you to stay out of the country if you're infectious....etc/
But they'll do nothing to stop gun violence.
While the United States is panicking over the coronavirus, about 130 people are killed a day by gun violence.
The terrorist who opened fire on six people at the Molson MillerCoors Brewery in Milwaukee was a disgruntled worker. He was fired out the cannon. Instead of looking forward, he looked for revenge on those who took his livelihood.
Dale Hudson, 60; Gennady Levshetz, 61; Jesus Valle, Jr., 33; Dana Walk, 57; Trevor Wetselaar, 33.'
These individuals probably had children, spouses and dedication to their work. They lose their lives to a terrorist whom they've considered a friend, ally or a nobody. We don't know the motives, he took his pathetic life when he was cornered.
The terrorist was a current employee at the Milwaukee brewery at the time of the mass shooting.
Milwaukee Police chief Alfonso Morales said that the terrorist was fired out the cannon and that he left the business later that day. He returned to the brewery shot at a worker, stole the identification and then confronted his bosses and a couple of workers.
Now Evers will do the "feel good-ism" of lowering flags to honor the victims.
Meaningless platitudes.
What's lowering flags, candlelight vigils and honor mentions going to do?
Absolutely nothing.
The first reports of the shooting came shortly after 2pm on Wednesday afternoon. A recording of the police dispatcher relays reports of an active shooter on the premises.
Mayor Tom Barrett said that the schools, a nearby daycare center, transit service and the facility was lockdown for hours.
The shooter managed to get two firearms through and started shooting at everyone within the area where he worked.
The iconic Miller logo hovers above the facility.
The status quo of the gun culture. Now is not the time to talk about gun violence!
If there were more security guards and more civilians (aka the good guy) with a gun.......
They learn how to use firearms from watching (or listening) to gangsta rap.
They watch violent movies.
They don't have fathers or mothers in their lives and it results in them committing criminal acts.
Blah, blah, blah....
Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.
The "good guy" with a firearm is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. Matter of fact, the NICE GUYS are often the ones who are spurned by society. Bad relationships, losing your job, jealousy over promotions, family feuds and racism are typical NICE GUY issues.
NICE GUYS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH A FIREARM. THE NICE GUY GETS SPURNED BY SOCIETY. THEY TAKE REVENGE ON SOCIETY. RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. THEY WILL NOT (I REPEAT) STOP A "MAD" MAN FROM OBTAINING A FIREARM.
Don't you just want to scream!?
Molson MillerCoors Brewery is the iconic home of Miller.
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."
We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will experience another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.
I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."
I am getting really tired of dealing with mass shootings.
There was a mass shooting in the United States. This time in Milwaukee. The suspect was caught. Who actually deserves the blame?
Every poll I put out comes with the same stupid ass trolls picking something that doesn't resonate with the general consensus. We're getting tired of this. Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
We have mass shootings in the United States everyday. We are the only country in the world that continues to do nothing about this. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
The Emmett Till Foundation praises the decision for the House of Representatives to pass a bill that made lynching a federal crime.
Over 65 years ago, Emmett Till was murdered by two white terrorists who snatched him out of his home after a white woman claimed he whistled at her at a general store in Money, Mississippi.
The House passed an anti-lynching law.
Introduced by Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Sen. Kamala (D-CA) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), the bill if signed by Donald J. Trump will criminalize any lynching of any individuals in the United States. It will acknowledge the atrocities committed towards African Americans, Native Americans and allies of them throughout the 19th and 20th century.
The legislation passed with 410 to 4.
Rush, a former Black Panther and civil rights activist said the law was long overdue.
"I cannot imagine our nation did not have any federal law against lynching when so many African Americans have been lynched," said Rush. "Lynchings was the preferred method of the Ku Klux Klan, the preferred choice of torturing and murdering African Americans."
The family of Emmett Till said it was step in the right direction.
Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) introduced the House version of the Emmett Till anti-lynching act.
"With this vote, it will finally be criminalized, and the importance of that cannot be overstated," said Deborah Watts, a cousin and co-founder of the Emmett Till Foundation. "Perhaps now the victims who have been crying out from their graves for centuries and their relatives still struggling today can now find some semblance of peace."
Four lawmakers voted no on the legislation.
Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) (former Republican lawmaker who voted to impeach Donald J. Trump).
Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) (Freedom Caucus leader, a possible "useful idiot" to Russian propaganda, white nationalist and ).
Rep. Louie Gohmert (Freedom Caucus member, lackluster lawmaker with little or no accomplishments in Congress and frequent guest radio host on Sean "Softball Hannity's shitshow).
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) (Libertarian like lawmaker who represents the Cincinnati area suburbs of Northern Kentucky)
Gohmert is one of the least productive lawmakers in Washington. He is a known white nationalist.
Florida girl being hit by a motorist sparks outrage.
A Florida motorist struck and killed 12 year old Sophia Nelson.
The motorist who struck the girl after she failed to fully stop at a crosswalk two months ago was issued a $169 fine but will face no criminal charges in connection to the fatal accident.
Three days before Christmas, Nelson was walking home from the beach with her grandfather and her dog, Coal, when she stopped at a crosswalk on Florida State Road A1A in Satellite Beach.
She pushed the button and lights on the crosswalk signal activated. The flashing-yellow lights were activated when this old motorist ran through the signal.
Sophia Nelson's father, Mark said that she waited for several cars to pass, then stepped into the crosswalk during a "long gap" before the next car. The old motorist struck her.
She was rushed to Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital in Orlando and was pronounced dead a few days later. The family has decided to donate the girls organs.
Following a lengthy investigation, the Satellite Police Department on Wednesday released a statement announcing the old motorist will walk. She will only get a slap on the wrist.
"No criminal charges were filed because there was no evidence whatsoever that the driver was driving in a dangerous or reckless matter," the law said.
When flashing motorists must stop.
The old motorist was issued a citation for failure to stop at a crosswalk, a moving violation, which requires a mandatory court appearance on March 17th due to the crash resulting in a fatality.
The evidence clearly showed that the old motorist ignored the safety warning lights and failed to stop.
The old motorist had enough time to react to a pedestrian in the crosswalk.
The Florida State Highway Patrol and Satellite Beach Police issued a breathalyzer test and the old motorist wasn't under the influence of alcohol and drugs. She was at the scene during the crash.
Now, Mark and Jill Nelson will push Gov. Ron DeSantis to do something. Mind you, he won't do anything to stop gun violence, but he's willing to listen to a family concerns about motorists running through pedestrian signals and stop lights.
They are trying to push the Sophia Nelson Pedestrian Act, which require illuminated pedestrian signs to flash red instead of yellow. They are pushing for a pedestrian hybrid beacon law in which it would be mandatory fines if a motorist tries to pass through them.
The bill heads to the Florida state house to be passed. The family hopes that motorists should be criminally charged for not following the rules of the road.
The suspect will face traffic citations that could void her license for up to five years. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Trump puts Mike Pence in charge of a possible health crisis.
We'll see what happens!
Keep America Great folks......!
Donald J. Trump appoints the second banana to cover an epidemic that could spread across the United States. He got Mike Pence into the mix after he faced criticism over the handling of the coronavirus.
The coronavirus has spread into the states and has cause global uncertainty with the stock markets.
Trump continues to say that everything is under control and decides to blame the Democratic candidates running for his spot for the economic turmoil.
The S&P took strong nosedives and it's making Trump nervous that his strongest weapon (i.e. the economy improving) could collapse.
Trump continued to say that the economy is doing fine and no one should panic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that the person, a resident in Northern California, had not recently returned from a foreign country, and had not been in contact with another confirmed case.
Trump in rare fashion held a presser at the White House press briefing room. The first time in over 10 months.
Trump appointed Pence to be the czar overseeing the CDC and U.S. Health Department's handling of the C0VID-19.
Trump claims that the risk is "low." He was soon contradicted by the CDC.
They said that the possibility of catching this is highly likely in America. If folks do obtain this, they could be quarantined for up to three weeks to prevent it from spreading. It's death rate is near 4,000 people and it affects folks who have weak immune systems.
We can't panic just yet. Because if you do come into contact with anyone having this on them, you chances are 40% likely to catch it.
Mass shooting in Milwaukee. Workplace shooting. Latest mass shooting total is 54.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This time it was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The latest place of a mass shooting was the MillerCoors/Milwaukee's Best Alcohol facility.
Tonight, Donald J. Trump will address this mass shooting, the stock market tanking and the coronavirus epidemic. He will come to the White House briefing room to address this.
Besides, Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Tony Evers, mayor Tom Barrett, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), the eight U.S. Representatives will offer their thoughts and prayers, phony sympathy, calls for investigations and legislative changes. But it won't involve firearms or addressing the state of our economy.
This terrorist was a worker at the facility where seven lives were lost. This senseless tragedy will only be mainstreamed to local news and some national news. However, it won't bring the agitators to Milwaukee to do "interviews."
And after a handful of hours in Milwaukee, they'll move on to another crisis in the world.
Police responding to the Molson Coors Brewing Company on Wednesday afternoon after reports of an active shooter.
Law enforcement sources have told the junk food media that victims and the terrorist were killed by gunfire.
The terrorist was not named as of yet. That will be in the blame game. The employee who had been fired out the cannon earlier that day but returned with a silencer gun and opened fire, Milwaukee Police confirm.
The terrorist stole a potential victim's identification badge.
Molson Coors Beverage Company confirmed that workers were killed and they want to not make speculations on how this event happened but they said that their "top priority is our employees and we'll provide updates in conjunction with the police as we are able."
At least 600 people work at the complex. It was placed on a lockdown along with a church and a handful of schools in the area.
The FBI, the federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will aid the Milwaukee city and county boys in this investigation.
Evers, the governor of the state called the attack, "horrific."
Milwaukee Police have to deal with gun violence yet again.
The status quo of the gun culture. Now is not the time to talk about gun violence!
If there were more security guards and more civilians (aka the good guy) with a gun.......
They learn how to use firearms from watching (or listening) to gangsta rap.
They watch violent movies.
They don't have fathers or mothers in their lives and it results in them committing criminal acts.
Blah, blah, blah....
Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.
The "good guy" with a firearm is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. Matter of fact, the NICE GUYS are often the ones who are spurned by society. Bad relationships, losing your job, jealousy over promotions, family feuds and racism are typical NICE GUY issues.
NICE GUYS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH A FIREARM. THE NICE GUY GETS SPURNED BY SOCIETY. THEY TAKE REVENGE ON SOCIETY. RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. THEY WILL NOT (I REPEAT) STOP A "MAD" MAN FROM OBTAINING A FIREARM.
Don't you just want to scream!?
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."
Another tragedy in the United States.
We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will experience another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.
I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."
I am getting really tired of dealing with mass shootings.
Will President Trump do something about gun violence in the United States?
Every poll I put out comes with the same stupid ass trolls picking something that doesn't resonate with the general consensus. We're getting tired of this. Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
We have mass shootings in the United States everyday. We are the only country in the world that continues to do nothing about this. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
