Tamron Hall rather quit than bow to a divisive agitator like Megyn Kelly.
Tamron Hall is pretty damn pissed that a divisive beeyotch took her spot. So instead of putting the ink on the contract, she opted out for other venues. There's a report that she is departing from NBC News and MSNBC.
She co-hosted the 9am spot on Today and anchored the 11am news on MSNBC. The spot will go to Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News host who abruptly left the network this year. Kelly who has a history of saying controversial things like "Santa Claus and Jesus are White".
This is a slap to the face of Black journalists.
The news hit the webs and it's gotten attention.
"Tamron is an exceptional journalist, we valued and enjoyed her work at Today and MSNBC and hope she would decide to stay," NBC News said in a statement. "We are disappointed that she has chosen to leave, but we wish her all the best."
Her last day was today and her contract is over this month.
"The last ten years have been beyond anything I could have imagined, and I'm grateful," Hall said in a statement. "I'm also very excited about the next chapter. To all my great colleagues, I will miss you and I will be rooting for you."
I am not a happy person. Tamron was a very attractive, professional and serious journalist. I am disappointed that she is leaving the network that she helped grow for ten years.
Boy saying to Fox News agitator "screw the president." Conservatives get outraged.
Hey conservatives, expect more.
You spent eight years demonizing Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Democrats, progressives and people of color. I think the most divisive person to ever be in the White House isn't Obama.
It's the guy who will take over for the next four years.
Expect more disrespect. Expect more anarchy!
They will never be peace as long as the fuhrer Donald J. Trump is in power.
Democrats better fight Trump. They better treat him like the Republicans treated Obama.
I warn Democrats that going "soft" isn't the way of winning. If Republicans complained and their allies amplified the message, they got their voters out. Let's fight dirty, rotten and nasty!
You liberal agitators better start acting like that old fart Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton, Stephanie Miller, Joe Madison, Lawrence O'Donnell, Alan Colmes, Leslie Marshall, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Van Jones, Keith Olbermann, John Fugelsang, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid and Bill Press better stop being pacifists.
Get on the bullhorn and start rallying your base to these Republican town halls and events. Shout them down like the Tea Party did the Democratic lawmakers.
I can't wait til the lawmakers have their town halls. I can imagine that progressives will start a "revolution". I hope a Democratic lawmaker disrespect the fuhrer during his "Fate of the Union" speech.
And let's stop treating Fox News as a news channel. Fuck these assholes. The network is an orgy room of old white male perverts.
The softball, perverts like Bill O'Reilly and Tucker Carlson rant and rave for ratings. Why don't these so-called progressives start ranting and raving?
Fox News agitator Geoff Jenkins confronts a 11 year old boy. The boy expresses his frustrations with the system and he made his feelings known on live television.
Hey, Carter.
If you stay in college you could be a progressive agitator and have your show canceled or low rated.
If you drop out of college, you make money like Sean "Softball" Hannity, internet creeper Matt Drudge, white extremist twink Milo Yannopoulos and old fart Rush Limbaugh. They make money swaying their base with ignorance.
Progressives need less college and more blue collar in their ranks. I'm not saying drop out of college, but think like a blue collar. These blue collar people are reactionary and totally ignorant to facts.
Lie and lie until it actually becomes a campaign issue. The kookster Alex Jones and the fuhrer managed to get the birther issue rolling. Fox News and conservative blogs got the Muslim smears running. The junk food media is giving White extremism a new name. It's called the "alt-right" and they are riding this canard to mainstream.
And at 12pm on Friday, you will have Donald John Trump, Sr. and Michael Richard Pence will become your leaders. I offer only a few words for the two and their families.....
FUCK YOU!
I am aware of the Deplorable Ball and the lackluster Trump Inauguration Concerts. I am going to cover this in simple terms. NOT HUGE!
More commentary on the boy saying "screw the president".
Good evening folks. Greta Van Susteren heads to liberal MSNBC as their conservative voice.
Official. The spot once held by liberal agitator and civil rights leader Al Sharpton will now belong to a conservative agitator who is notorious for covering missing white girl stories.
Greta Van Susteren's return to cable news is in mid January. Her show For the Record will premiere on MSNBC at 6pm. Van Susteren will maintain her residence in Washington, DC and come as a direct competitor to her former Fox News allies.
Bloomberg News and MSNBC's show With All Due Respect is canceled.
CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer is still a ratings draw but its not a big success as Special Report on Fox.
Bret Baier dominates with Special Report and it's been awful hard for MSNBC and CNN to come into that area. With Al Sharpton demoted to the Sunday morning spot, the replacement for the 6pm spot was pretty difficult.
I mean the talk was Chris Hayes, Lawrence O'Donnell and Joy Reid were heading to that spot.
Still who knows? The chairs are being moved around at the three cable news channels.
I hope MSNBC becomes the flagship of all things anti-Trump. I mean Fox News did a good job on President Barack Obama and perennial failure Hillary Clinton. Fox enjoyed great ratings during Obama's eight years as president.
Van Susteren is a controversial figure. She is the ambulance chaser and "where the White ladies at?" agitator.
Van Susteren gain notoriety for being the woman who obsessed with the Natalee Holloway disappearance. Also during the 2008, 2012 and 2016 elections, Van Susteren was notorious for doing lap dances for the fuhrer Donald Trump and washed up politicos Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin.
She was on Fox News for nearly 15 years. She was the first conservative agitator to bounce off Fox News when Roger Ailes was fired out the cannon. It left her show On The Record in limbo.
Brit Hume picked up the pieces and then let the show die on its own. Tucker Carlson, the CEO of The Daily Caller and former knucklehead on the couch of Fox & Friends was promoted to take over her spot.
Now Carlson is promoted again to take over Megyn Kelly's spot. At 9pm, Tucker Carlson will be at the helm of a spot that long belonged to the most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media.
Sean "Softball" Hannity will continue to be on at 10pm. Martha MacCallum will take a promotion to host her own show at 7pm.
It will be sort of difficult for me to scope her out. She's not as pretty as Megyn but she will be a draw for the die hard Trump minions who love see MacCallum sport off legs and skirts.
CNN's Erin Burnett and MSNBC's Chris Matthews are on the 7pm spot. The Fox 7pm spot was originally Shepard Smith's until he was promoted to be a breaking news host. Smith still is retaining his 3pm spot.
We lost a great entertainer. It was confirmed tonight that Ricky Harris passed away at the age of 54.
According to ComedyHype, Ricky Harris has reportedly passed away after suffering a heart attack.
Reports on the his now reported death are few but we have seen several of Harris’s friends confirm the unfortunate news. Harris’s resume extends to productions like Poetic Justice, Moesha, Tales From The Hood, and several projects with Snoop Dogg including film Boss’N’Up and the iconic voice-character DJ Eaz-E-Dick on Snoop’s previous albums. Harris has had his share of health scares; a few years ago he suffered a heart attack which came sudden as well. Comedians shocked by the news have took to social media to pay their respects to the comedy veteran.
Tributes come from some of the country's most notable entertainers and musicians who were friends with Ricky.
My favorite comic passed today! He never got his just due! But if u ever saw him gig u knew he was as good as it gets!#RIpRickeyHarris
Dirty cop fired out the cannon for posting racist shit.
A cop is no longer on the force. He was fired out the cannon after he was revealed posting racially insensitive shit on social media, He also profiled Black motorists.
McIntosh County deputy Brant Gaither was fired out the cannon in July but the revelations came to light just this week. The officer had shared racist and sexist messages with another officer who resigned from the force this week. They sent this garbage to each other on Facebook.
The officers served on the department's special traffic unit that covers Interstate 95, the nation's longest north-south highway.
Some of the jokes were targeting "colored people", another joke included "Nigger" in it.
One shows Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. under a meme. "I have a dream. That one day my people will act like animals." was seen on Gaither's social media.
When it came to traffic stops and Black motorists passing through McIntosh County, Gaither scoffed at Black motorists. "I hope we get a few niggers but fuck it if we don't."
Those who were pulled over Gaither and Jeremy Owens could sue the department and localities.
Their actions could cost the county greatly. For every case thrown out, the county might have to reimburse those affected by the actions of these two. The local solicitor notified him that some of the case involved the officers may be dismissed and he supports the decision. He said he treats everyone in the community fairly and has no knowledge of his department targeting black motorists.
County sheriff Stephen Jessup was none too thrilled about these emails. It got him so mad, he wanted to actually throw up.
"There better not be and me find out find out about it," Jessup said. "I wouldn't tolerate it. If I found out about it I would fire them and prosecute them."
Both Owens and Gaither declined the junk food media requests for comments.
Some of the postings were misogynist, racist, offensive toward another deputy.
Gaither said: "It was a joke, we all do it. It was a stupid mistake."
"There is no joke about something like that. Period," Jessup said. "It's total racism."
Jessup warned all members of the force to avoid social media.
McIntosh County is between Savannah and New Brunswick. About 1/3 of the residents are Black.
It has a long history oppression of Black citizens and was the setting of a 1991 non-fiction book, "Pray for Sheetrock," by Atlanta author Melissa Fay Greene.
Greene tells the story of how the civil rights movement seemed to bypassed the isolated county, ruled by a notorious white sheriff well into the 1970s. The police shooting of an unarmed Black man inspired a local Black activist, Thurston Alston, to challenge the sheriff and bring change to the county, Greene writes.
Jessup is facing reelection. He's fighting to keep his seat against Charles Jones, a former sheriff for the county. Jones is an African American who lost to Jessup in 2008.
Unrest in Milwaukee sparked by a deadly shooting of an armed suspect.
There was a fatal police shooting in Milwaukee and it touched off a series of unrest in the city.
There were businesses torched, an officer was injured by a projectile. Three agitators were arrested.
Conservative agitators are ready to blame #BlackLivesMatter, President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the aftermath of the riots.
100 protesters at first protested the shooting but the agitators decided to set the north side ablaze.
What we know was the police were chasing after a man who fled in a vehicle after a traffic stop. The law claims that man was armed. They didn't clarify if the man was pointing at the officers or shot at them. They claim that the man had a lengthy rap sheet.
According to the law, the man was acting suspiciously and it prompted an investigation into the man.
The man was shot in the arm and chest. He died at the scene.
The boiling point started when a group of protesters and agitators clashed.
The Wisconsin justice authority will handle the case. The officer's name wasn't released. His training was six years on the force with three on the beat. His name will likely make it through social media. He was wearing a body camera. The officer is in the freezer pending the outcome.
The man who was killed wasn't released yet.
Assured conservatives will troll social media to find something they deem incriminating on the deceased. They will try to justify the police shooting.
Republican Governor Scott Walker, President Barack Obama, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) were notified about it. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will address the controversy.
Mayor Tom Barrett will issue a mandatory curfew for areas affected by violence.
This is the area where conservative agitator Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County resides. He will not make the situation any better. He could inflame more tension by showing his face on camera calling residents and protesters a bunch of "thugs."
What makes this tragedy horrible, five victims of gun violence and the community believes the law is inept in stopping this.
Tensions are rising and the irrational could strike. Something gotta be done about gun violence. Its time to act on this before another mass shooting.
The police need to be held accountable for using deadly force on unarmed suspects. We can't allow the blue wall of silence to continue.
The BBC reports that Facebook and Giphy have removed an offensive posting involving Trayvon Martin. They deemed it inappropriate. The image was splashed with Nickelodeon's Spongebob Squarepants.
The animation shows Spongebob picking up trash before becoming angry at the level of trash being dumped. He takes out a firearm and says "not on my watch."
What was offensive was the fact that Trayvon Martin was shown and an image of George Zimmerman took the place of Spongebob.
Someone tipped off Facebook and Giphy about this. They were looking for funny gifs of Spongebob Squarepants when they seen this one on the trending image page of Google.
This type of stuff is disgusting.
Giphy released a statement. "We do not tolerate any kind of content that promotes racism, sexism, inequality or hate of any kind. We are looking into the matter."
Facebook had no comment. Nickelodeon network had no comment about the controversy.
Also in the image, it had Trayvon Martin with a halo around his head. It was surrounded by the words, "coughing...snorting! And of course, NIGGER came up. Then the George Zimmerman (Spongebob) shoots him again.
When people make these type of gif..
The story came a few days after Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin and other mothers of police and vigilante violence spoke on behalf of Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention.
Sheriff David Clarke, Jr. of Milwaukee County is an outspoken concern troll. When he's not doing his job as top cop of Milwaukee County, he goes to Fox News or AM agitators to bitch and bemoan about Black America's grievances with law enforcement. He's trying to sweep issues like this under the rug. I had to respond to this.
Let me rap with you, "honorable" Sheriff David, Clarke, Jr of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.
Brotha, you and me have a problem.
Sheriff Clarke, you share one thing in common with Maricopa County, Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio and Butler County, Ohio's Richard T. Jones: It's the disregard for the right to protest injustices caused by those in law enforcement.
I am from Dayton, Ohio, a city that has a population of 141,000 residents. A city struggling with the rise of gun violence in the Black community. I am a Black man in my mid-30s, single and working.
I work two jobs and try to live a normal life. I know I am far from perfect. I had minor traffic violations. I know people who have criminal history.
I am certain that you'll never meet me and sure enough I'll never meet you. I can tell you that seeing you on television kind of makes me wonder if you're just showboating for attention while your community is grappling.
From the day, you appeared on many outlets in the junk food media, you've been on this "Cosby" theme rant about how Black America needs to respect those who wear the badge.
Do you understand that even respecting the badge allows you and many others commit atrocities against unarmed Black men and women?
I've been the victim of racial profiling. I know friends who've been profiled by law enforcement.
You often single out Black Lives Matter, President Barack Obama, former Attorney General Eric Holder, current Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson as the enablers of police shootings.
No one I know personally or professionally want police officers to be killed. However, I do want police officers and supervisors held accountable for conduct.
Seriously, the President of the United States and those who protest aren't responsible for the actions of one man.
It's like saying a right wing terrorist shooting up a Black church is the fault of conservative agitators like Fox News, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh. They have nothing to do with the acts of that guy but it's often the blame of the rhetoric you place on the feet of Black Lives Matter.
So is it fair to compare that terrorist to the protesters?
Is it fair to compare the Tea Party to terrorists?
Given the rise of Black Lives Matter in the wake of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown, the Black community has awaken to a reality that you've often ignored.
Black Lives Matter doesn't condone violence against police officers. They mourn the deaths of police officers just like the rest of America. They just want those who kill unarmed citizens of color held accountable for their actions.
Black people are under attack. We're under attack by a system that constantly undermines our achievements, our successes and our goals. A system where if you are a person of color, you might face a sentence harsher than a White person. If you're confronted by the law while holding a firearm, if you're a Black person (suspect or lawful citizen), you're likely to be detained or killed by an officer because he feared for his life.
Say if I committed a sexual assault on person, I would be put in prison for LIFE without a chance for parole. People like Brock Turner and John Enochs get off with lighter sentences. Their excuse, "foolish misbehaving" and "innocent mistakes".
Black people are often guilty before proven innocent. See when Freddie Gray was detained, conservatives and people like you would bring up previous encounters with the police or use their social media postings to justify arrest, detainment or death.
Racial disparities in the criminal justice system is real. Black people by an astonishing amount believe that they have been either a victim or know a victim of racial profiling.
Black people are often stopped by law enforcement far more than Whites. It's often a minor traffic offense like a turn signal that causes officers to unlawfully search your vehicle without consent.
I question the reason why I'm being pulled over regardless of me being guilty or innocent. I do not consent to vehicle or home searches. If they search my vehicle or home regardless of what I say and they destroy my property, the police never pay for the damages of my properties.
I often asked for their name and badge. I often let them know that I have a conceal carry license.
Now I do have a dash camera in my vehicle. I will inform any officer that I am recording them if they are to pull me over for any infraction. I want them to know that I respect my rights as well as their jobs as servants of public safety.
I often get threats of being pulled over or ticketed (or even jailed) for "smarting off" to police.
It's not illegal to "smart off" to the police. As long as I don't place my hands on that officer, it's their job to take it like a professional.
I don't know the victims of gun violence in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York or Atlanta. I don't know the names of all the victims of Black on whatever violence.
When Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and many Democrats led off this showboating for a simple up and down vote on banning those on the "no fly list" to obtain firearms, you gracefully appeared on television denouncing them as glorified politicians who ignore their own respectful districts.
Let me get this straight: If you are willing to read off all the names of gun violence this year alone, I would probably take a very long time to give out the correct names. Mind you that gun violence is everyday.
Many of these gun crimes are usually committed by a person who knows someone.
Everyday a person is going to lose their life to a gun. Regardless of criminal or unintentional acts.
I don't hear you mention the astonishing amount of accidental deaths by firearms. A mother in your county was killed by her own son. A licensed firearm trainer in Loveland, Ohio was killed by a student who didn't know how to hold the trigger right. A woman who posted on social media about her love for guns was shot by her son and barely survived. A woman who murdered her neighbor in a feud was just nabbed by the feds.
These incidents managed to grab the attention but faded into the limelight.
Every time a mass shooting happens in the United States, you stand firm with the conservatives and White extremists in stopping gun control measures.
In the same breathe, you want to take away firearms from law abiding Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims.
You call Black suspects: Thugs.
You call Hispanic suspects: Illegal Immigrants.
You call Muslims suspects: Terrorists.
You call White suspects: Liberal Democrats.
All these labels aren't productive. It's deflection. You stand firm in deflecting the real issues facing not just Black America, the but the country as a whole.
GUN VIOLENCE. IT'S THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Being a cop is a thankless job. You wake up everyday and put on the uniform of your jurisdiction to serve and protect the citizens of your community.
We thank all those who serve dutifully as members of law enforcement. You are certainly thanked for your job as Milwaukee County sheriff.
However, there's a problem with you.
You're too busy on Fox News or some conservative agitator's program bitching. You waste taxpayer money getting on this soapbox about how Black America is failed by policies that longed happened before we had Barack Obama elected as the president.
I seriously believe you're jealous of the president. You wish you could be him. Too bad, no sane Black person would ever elected you to a higher officer other than a sheriff.
I know President Barack Obama has a thick skin and doesn't really care what you think of him.
If I was him, I would say to my staff in the White House: "Who the hell is this carnival barker on television?"
If I was Obama, I would tell the junk food media any mention of your name is "I never heard of him".
Example: "David Clarke, sheriff of Milwaukee County. Never heard of him!"
The president ignores carnival barkers like you, Donald Trump, Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh and Softball Hannity.
You guys offer nothing to help America. All you do is bitch and bemoan about issues.
You can't save the world if you're on the sidelines bitching.
Get with the program, the Black community is tired of the sidelines. It's out in the open.
You want to stand against us. Fine.
But be aware of your position. The voters are noticing it. And sooner or later, you may be eventually a full time contributor to Fox News instead of the sheriff of Milwaukee County.
The junk food media is covering the tragic police shooting of Alton Sterling.
BE WARNED THIS CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES
How long will it take before conservatives start savaging a man who was fatally bucked by police?
Too late, the conservatives are trying to say that he was a "no good thug" already.
Will the junk food media mention the victim's previous run ins with the law to justify the shooting?
Too late, they already said that he has a criminal history.
Will the video evidence show gross negligence by the officers or self defense?
There's not evidence to indict the officers. A grand jury has decided to not indict the officers involved in this shooting. That's what the law and junk food media says.
When will we hear bemoaning by conservatives about Chicago's gun violence or President Obama's thoughts on these incidents?
Of course, concern trolls will talk about the 2,000th victim of gun violence in Chicago. They won't mention the name of the victim but they'll complain about how Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama rush to judgement or fail to mention Black on whatever crime. They will say that the rhetoric from Obama and BLM is anti-cop, anti-white, etc.
Black Lives Matter doesn't ignore intraracial gun violence. The junk food media doesn't cover this because it doesn't fit in the narrative of watching the protester scream "Fuck The Police" on camera.
The group is determined to get police reform. They are devoted to ending the domestic terrorism of gangs.
The deadly police shooting of Alton Sterling has become a national outrage. Me and S. Baldwin are taking notice to the situation in the city of Baton Rouge.
Caught on film.
A 37-year old father of five was shot and killed after police responded to a disturbance call at a local store. He was selling CDs and DVDs outside the store.
Allegedly he pulled a gun on a person. Okay here's where the story got disturbing. In the video you going to see from an eyewitness is Alton on the ground and police yelling at him. Then the moment you hear "gun" from the officer and then the popping sounds. The eyewitness drops the phone and starts crying.
They shot him at point blank range. He was shot five times and the chest and neck.
The two officers who shot Sterling were placed in the freezer. We don't have their names yet or the times spent on the beat yet.
Here's what pisses me off?
The conservatives start going into his social media to find "incriminating" evidence to say that his death was justified.
Charles Johnson, the infamous internet troll who created GotNews already trying to unearth Alton's social media.
The Raw Story catches CNN running the mugshot of Alton to give the perception of a justifiable police shooting.
It's unfortunate. We already know what's going to happen. I can bet you that they'll walk.
Regardless of the situation being caught on video, the evidence will not go to a grand jury. The grand jury will say that the victim's history in the iron college is enough to say that his life
The conservatives will complain about the junk food media giving attention to this situation. Racial agitators like Charles Johnson, Colin Flaherty, Matt Drudge, Softball Hannity, and Old Fart Rush Limbaugh will find some way it about Black America or the president.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Alton Sterling.
This has been by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life. I understood cognitively that I was facing a crossroads in my evolution as a player and as a man, and that it came with exceptionally difficult choices. What I didn't truly understand, however, was the range of emotion I would feel during this process.
Fans throw the lighter fluid on Kevin Durant's jersey.
The primary mandate I had for myself in the making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player- as that has always steered me in the right direction. But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolutions as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors are the Oklahoma City Thunder's arch rival. The fans were shocked about this decision.
Fans are shocked about this news. Durant's move almost certainly takes the Thunder out the running for being in the NBA finals.
Warriors Draymond Green gave a special shout out to Durant. He welcomes him to the Splash.
Turk is desperate. He resigns to Cash Money Records after years of beef.
While Tunechi is feuding with the label, Tab Virgil, Jr. known in the hip-hop world as Turk went back to Cash Money Records. This was a surprise move given the situation with Lil' Wayne and his former mentor Bryan "Baby" Williams. Williams known as Birdman put a block on Wayne's album. Any album Lil' Wayne releases outside of his contract will net him a lawsuit from Cash Money.
He just settled at $1.3 million lawsuit with the label last year.
Turk went to social media to post his gratitude to the label.
"The heart of a man, it could spark change; sometimes it gets hard, sometimes it gets soft. And, when you dealing with a lot of money and you dealing with a lot of talent, you dealing with a lot of ego and pride. With that being said, I don't know what God got in store for the old Cash Money clique...would there ever be a Hot Boys reunion. But, it's al love. And right now, my situation, it's just friendly competition."
WTF?
The good old days. The Hot Boys and Big Tymers.
Turk who completed a 14 year bid in federal time out for a gun charge is looking to save his failing career as a rapper. He was convicted of being a felon with a firearm. He was also a fugitive on the run for attempted murder.
He also was playing in the snow. He was busted with a 20 grams on the table.
Since his release from the iron college, he became a broke rapper. He owes debts from child support to unpaid bills and the criminal fine.
He was on social media begging his fans for $5 million to pay off his debts.
Seeing him and Juvie (formerly known as Juvenile) resign to Cash Money shows ignorance.
I don't want to assume but I am guessing they failed high school. They wanted to focus on entertainment and they thought they could be rock stars. When they got the bug in the ear, they got mad and pouted.
When you break a contract, you pretty much broke your wallet. Cash Money went on to sign Drake and Nicki Minaj and they proved to be successful and the old acts aren't.
Returning to Cash Money shows that loyalty overcomes money. But in reality, Juvie and Turk are broke and it's no joke!
Late word that Detroit's Gordie Howe passed away in Toledo, Ohio. The Canadian born Howe was known as Mr. Hockey and is one of the greatest legends in the NHL. He was an icon with the Detroit Red Wings.
Born in the town of Flora, Saskatchewan, Gordie was born into the game.
The Hockey Hall of Famer had had health struggles in recent years, suffering a stroke in 2014. A statement from the Howe family said he passed away peacefully Friday morning with his family by his side.
As a six-time league MVP, Howe arguably was one of the sport's greatest players, scoring 801 goals in his 26 years in two stints in the National Hockey League.
"All hockey fans grieve the loss of the incomparable Gordie Howe," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said.
"A remarkable athlete whose mastery of our sport was reflected by the longevity of his career and by his nickname, 'Mr. Hockey,' Gordie's commitment to winning was matched only by his commitment to his teammates, to his friends, to the Red Wings, to the city of Detroit and -- above all -- to his family."
In 1963, Howe became the NHL's all-time leading scorer, a record Wayne Gretzky later broke. Gretzky idolized the older player, wearing No. 99 as a tribute to Howe, who wore No. 9.
Gretzky called in Friday to "The Dan Patrick Show," saying Howe would be "sorely missed."
"To me, he's the greatest hockey player who ever played," said Gretzky, who is known as "The Great One."
A prolific scorer, Howe was feared and revered, famous for his flying elbows. But perhaps, biggest of all, he was an iconic name that a casual and non-hockey fan would know.
Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch said Howe "embodied on and off the ice what it meant to be both a Red Wing and a Detroiter. He was tough, skilled, and consistently earned success at the highest level. His achievements are numerous and his accomplishments immeasurable. It is truly a blessing to have had him both in our organization and our city for so many years. He will be deeply missed."
Howe signed his first professional contract at age 18 in 1946 with the Red Wings, where he spent 25 years and won Stanley Cups in 1950, 1952, 1954 and 1955. In 1971, Howe announced his retirement and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame a year later. But two years after hanging up his skates, he returned to the ice for the Houston Aeros of the World Hockey Association. Remarkably, he played with his sons Marty and Mark.
In 1980, Howe retired for the second time at age 52 after playing for the Hartford Whalers. By the time of his retirement, Howe would own league records in assists, points and games played. To this day, he holds NHL records for most games played and seasons.
But Howe still wasn't done with hockey. Seventeen years later, the 69-year-old put on his skates one more time to play for the International Hockey League's Detroit Vipers.
"Gordie's greatness travels far beyond mere statistics; it echoes in the words of veneration spoken by countless players who joined him in the Hockey Hall of Fame and considered him their hero," Bettman said.
Howe, born March 31, 1928, was one of nine children. He met his wife, Colleen, in 1949. They were married for 55 years until her death in 2009.
Howe is survived by four children -- Marty, Mark, Cathy and Murray -- and nine grandchildren. Arrangements will be announced once they are finalized, the Howe family said.
"Gordie Howe was an incredible ambassador for the game of hockey," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said. "He was as fierce and competitive as they come but away from the rink he was truly engaging and personable and always enjoyed his interaction with the fans. ... We will miss Mr. Hockey, who was the greatest Red Wing of all time."
His funeral will be Friday and it's open to the public. It will be held in his hometown of Detroit at the Joe Lewis Arena. He will be buried in his birthplace of Flora.
They are naming the new U.S.-Canadian border bridge in Detroit and Windsor after him. The Gordie Howe International Crossing Bridge is currently being worked on. It will connect Interstate 75/96 with Ontario Highway 401 which is being extended to cross the Detroit River.
World News Today sends our condolences to the family of Gordie Howe. We will miss Mr. Hockey.

Patrick Lynch, the racist police union leader of the NYPD will try to defend the actions of a female sergeant who pointed her firearm at a man recording her arresting another man in the hallway of Brooklyn apartment.
Diana Pichardo is in the freezer pending a disciplinary hearing. She was filmed berating David Rivera and then arresting him after he was saying it's his constitutional right to film officers while on duty.
He also had surveillance cameras in his home. It recorded the NYPD doing a warrantless search of his home.
When David released it to the junk food media and social media, the Brooklyn district attorney dropped the felonious assault and disorderly conduct charges.
On top of that Pichardo has a history with unnecessary roughness. The NYPD had to do an apology tour after an incident in which she's under federal watch. She was a defendant in a federal probe that cost the city of New York $400,000.
This was unacceptable.
For 13 years, Pichardo (known by her underlings as Pocahontas) was running Brooklyn's Coney Island. She took her job way too seriously.
David said to the New York Daily News, that he was watching a movie with his girlfriend when he heard a noise outside his door. So as expected, he steps out and see a group of men and women wrestling with a man. So he grabs his cell phone and records the confrontation.
As women were screaming, Pichardo rushes in between them and then points her gun at David.
David said "Don't point that gun at me!". The cops ordered David to back to his apartment. He still records when an officer ordered him to close the door. He said, "Don't close my door! I'm inside my apartment, you have no right to shut my door!" After a brief engagement with a plain clothes officer, Pichardo confronts David and calls him a motherfucker and takes his camera. After a brief engagement of verbal, David was then arrested and sat in the lockup for 43 hours without being charged.
He plans on filing a complaint and hopes that she loses her badge after this event.
Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74. The Associated Press confirms the American boxing legend died of pneumonia and complications from Parkinson's disease. President Barack Obama was notified of Ali's death tonight.
Ali who was considered the greatest boxer of all time fought through racism, his personal struggles, his conversation to Islam and Parkinson's disease.
Beloved by many for being fast on his feet, fast on his fists and fast on his wits.
Legally known as Cassius Clay, Ali converted to being a Muslim through the Nation of Islam. He rejected his birth name after an awakening. He and his family grew up being in a strict Baptist family.
Ali rejected the Christian teachings on grounds of violence and intolerance. He chose Islam as a spiritual path to happiness. He stood firm in those beliefs and it riled up people.
He won an Olympic medal for boxing. When he returns to the United States, he saw racism in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
It was said that he threw his medal in the Ohio River.
He was arrested for dodging the draft. He was opposed to the Vietnam War. He believed that he shouldn't fight for White imperialism. He was stripped of his World Boxing Association championship. It took three years for him to win the right back into the ring.
His bouts with George Foreman, Smokin Joe Frazier and the career win against Sonny Liston made him a legend. The most iconic image of Ali was the one where he took on Sonny Liston and knuckled him in a first round bout.
He was born in Jan. 17, 1942 in a segregated South. He started his career as a boxer when he got his bicycle stolen at age 12.
He won a Gold medal in Rome at age 18. He defeated Polish boxer Zbigniew Pietrzykowski in a light heavyweight final.
Regarded as the most charismatic sportsman of the modern generation, Ali kept his victories on top and his critics at the bottom. He was the first boxer to win the world heavyweight title three times.
He retired in 1981 with a record of 56-5 with 37 knockouts.
He was known as the most recognizable person on the planet. Outpouring of sympathy is coming from politicos, celebrities and athletes worldwide.
Me and S. Baldwin thank Muhammad Ali. May peace be with you and the spiritual Allah. Ali told us to stand up and fight for what's good for the world. He was never afraid to speak his mind. He never let the critics weigh him down with the negativity. He fought the battles and came out forever a champion.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Muhammad Ali.
I will continue to post more on this story as soon I get info....
The family confirms that legendary boxer and activist Muhammad Ali is at a Phoenix hospital being treated for respiratory failure. The family confirms that it's not looking good.
At first check, many thought it's a mild illness. Turns out to be worst than expected.
The Evening Standard reports that being placed on life support as the family prepares for the wake.
He is said to be suffering respiratory issues that are reportedly complicated by the Parkinson’s disease that was diagnosed in the 1980s.
But two people close to the former heavyweight champion have said that Ali’s condition is concerning to his family members.
A source told the Mirror: “Like in the ring, Ali is a fighter on the ward. Doctors are working to regulate his breathing put it is being hampered by his Parkinson’s.
“His children are all extremely concerned and dropped everything to be with him. They fear the worst.
“Ali is everything to them and there are worried his problems are worse than first feared.”
The sources have reportedly declined to be identified because they were not speaking on behalf of Ali’s family.
Bob Gunnell, Ali’s spokesman, said in a statement on Thursday that the former heavyweight champion was in a “fair” condition and a brief hospital stay was expected.
Mr Gunnell said in an email Friday there was no update on Ali's condition.
Dr Abraham Lieberman, the boxer’s long term Parkinson’s doctor, declined to comment any further on Ali’s condition when contacted by the Associated Press.
He said: “I can’t really say much more than what’s in the papers.”
Looks like Melissa Harris-Perry ended up with pie on her face. Her friend Joy Reid now holds the spot for weekend programming on MSNBC. She will replace Harris Perry for the 10am-12pm slot.
Joy Reid was hosting a show during the 3pm-4pm weekdays slot. Reid had previously hosted the weekday daytime show, The Reid Report which was canceled in September. She was bumped for Brian Williams, the disgraced NBC News anchor who hosted The Nightly News. Reid didn't get mad she lost her gig. She went forth and earned praise for her coverage of the primaries and was rewarded with a time slot again.
Phil Griffin loved how Joy handled the program during the primaries.
When Melissa Harris-Perry made her infamous letter saying that Nerdland (known as Melissa Harris-Perry) was being canned for political coverage, I was shocked. MSNBC fired her out the cannon after the rant went viral.
I was thinking that MSNBC was sidelining one of the best talents on the liberal leaning network.
Joy was thankful to MSNBC and her former. She vowed to continue the discussions that Melissa Harris-Perry brought to the forefront.
Joy Reid filled in for Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell during their time off.
Congratulations to Joy Ann Reid. World News Today wishes her well on her journey.
Frenemies. Michael Strahan leaves in two weeks. Kelly Ripa now has to find a permanent host.
People Magazine reports that former NFL star and celebrity agitator Michael Strahan is leaving Live! with Kelly & Michael in less than two weeks. He decided he can't do it any longer now that Kelly Ripa is no longer speaking to him.
He will depart from Live on May 13.
Ripa was hurt by the announcement of Strahan leaving the popular AM show for Good Morning America. She took a leave of absence after the news broke. She returned Tuesday to give a brutal takedown of ABC.
She did say some nice things about Strahan.
He will take on a full time role as an anchor on GMA.
This comes as one of the most shocking moments in TV history. The four years that Strahan had on Live! were memorable. This one should be the most memorable of the former Superbowl champion.
Now it's 1st & 10 and he's leading the way to a better career.
Strahan also is working on hosting duties on Fox NFL Sunday and NASCAR on Fox. He also is working on AM agitation program. He is going to host Dick Clark's $100,000 Pyramid.
Michael Strahan's departure from Live! with... Good or Bad?
It's reported by the Associated Press that Prince was cremated today. His funeral was held today with many of his close friends and relatives.
Publicist says Prince's remains have been cremated and a celebration of his life has been held.
Prince's death was shocking to the world.
The statement did not say where the service was held, but friends such as percussionist Sheila E. and bassist Larry Graham were seen Saturday entering Prince's suburban Minneapolis estate, Paisley Park. Prince's sister Tyka Nelson and brother-in-law Maurice Phillips also were seen on the grounds, as were catering trucks.
Hundreds of fans were gathered outside the estate, where a security fence was covered with purple balloons, flowers, signs and more honoring Prince, who both lived and recorded there. People emerged from the estate and handed out round purple boxes to some fans. Each box contained a handout with a color photo of the late musician and a black T-shirt with "3121" printed on it in white — the numbers were the title of a Prince album.
Prince was found unresponsive in an elevator Thursday at Paisley Park, and an autopsy was done Friday. But authorities have not released a cause of death and have said results could take days or weeks.
The publicist's brief statement repeated that the cause of Prince's death was unknown, and said autopsy results wouldn't be received for at least four weeks.
The statement said the "final storage" of Prince's remains would be private and that a musical celebration would be held at a future date.
"We ask for your blessings and prayers of comfort for his family and close friends at this time," the statement said.
Prince was last seen alive by an acquaintance who dropped him off at Paisley Park at 8 p.m. Wednesday, according to Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson. The "Purple Rain" star, born Prince Rogers Nelson, was found by staff members who went to the compound in Chanhassen, about 20 miles outside Minneapolis, the next morning when they couldn't reach him by phone.
Emergency crews who answered the 911 call could not revive Prince, the sheriff said.
Celebrity website TMZ, citing unidentified sources, has reported that Prince was treated for an overdose of the powerful painkiller Percocet while traveling home from concerts in Atlanta last week. The site said his plane made an emergency landing April 15 in Moline, Illinois, where he was briefly hospitalized.
Representatives for Prince have not responded to requests from The Associated Press for comment on the reports of the emergency landing and overdose treatment, and Saturday's statement from his publicist did not address them.
Olson, the sheriff, and a medical examiner's office spokeswoman declined Friday to say whether prescription drugs were taken from the home after his death. Olson did say emergency workers did not administer Narcan, a drug they carry to counteract overdoses, when they responded to Paisley Park.
Prince's death came two weeks after he canceled concerts in Atlanta, saying he wasn't feeling well. He played a pair of makeup shows April 14 in that city, apologizing to the crowd shortly after coming on stage.
Early in the first show, he briefly disappeared from the stage without explanation. After about a minute he returned and apologized, saying he didn't realize how emotional the songs could be. He played the rest of the show without incident and performed three encores.
In the later show, he coughed a few times, though the show was again energetic.
Then came the reported emergency landing en route to Minnesota. The night after that, Prince hosted a dance party at Paisley Park, where some fans said he looked fine and seemed irked by reports of an illness. Prince didn't play except to tap out a few notes on a piano, and lingered only for a few minutes before disappearing.
Prince was slated to perform two shows earlier this week at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis but canceled last week because of health concerns.
Sheila E. has told the AP that Prince had physical issues from performing, citing hip and knee problems that she said came from years of jumping off risers and stage speakers in heels. But she said she hadn't talked directly with him in several months.
Live! with Kelly & Michael is on the verge of cancellation. Both hosts are feuding with each other. Michael Strahan's abrupt departure angered Kelly Ripa.
Legendary NFL player decides to move forward leaving a mess behind.
Former New York Giants star Michael Strahan created a shitstorm. He announced that he will depart from Live! with Kelly and Michael by the end of September to join ABC's Good Morning America as a full-time anchor.
That announcement riled up Kelly Ripa and she's threatening to leave the show as well. The announcement sparked a major feud between the two. Producers are hoping that she would return back to hosting duties on Tuesday.
Ripa didn't appear on the program Wednesday. She was supposed to be on vacation with her husband Mark Consuelos. She abruptly canceled the vacation to personally tell the Live! producers that she may eventually give up the show she's hosted since 2000. The word on the street that she will no longer work with Strahan.
Strahan is a contributor to ABC's Good Morning America. He usually appears from 7am - 8:15am.
When he leaves GMA, he beelines to the ABC studios down the road for the taping of Live.
Strahan also is co-host of Fox NFL Sunday. He is also in the works of hosting Dick Clark's $100,000 Pyramid. Strahan is working on getting his very own a FM agitation radio show.
Live was renewed until 2020 and with Strahan's departure from the show, it created a contractual dispute between Ripa and Strahan.
Many in the junk food media believe Strahan's departure is going to hurt his chances. Ripa went out on a limb for him.
Ripa was shocked when her former co-host Regis Philbin decided to retire from the show. She was upset over the departure. Philbin hasn't spoke to Ripa in a while. He's a guest contributor to Today's 4th hour with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb.
Philbin and Gifford were the original host of Live!
Many on the inside say that Kelly and Michael can't stand one another. Ripa can't stand Strahan's temper tantrums. Some believe that Strahan made a bad move.
Strahan announced his departure on the show with guest host Ana Gasteyer of SNL fame and Suburgatory. Erin Andrews of Fox Sports and Dancing With Stars finishes the week and will fill-in on Monday.
Reverend Al Sharpton is the founder of the National Action Network. He is also a radio agitator and commentator on MSNBC. He is a civil rights activist who gets conservatives riled up. His actions are pretty damn effective and they hate this.
Politicsnation or The Al Sharpton Show was demoted from weekdays to solely on Sundays. Sharpton has been considering an exit from the network. He along with former host Melissa Harris Perry both expressed resentment towards Phil Griffin and his team over at MSNBC.
Sharpton, Ed Schultz and many others were not pleased to have Brian Williams bump them from their television spots. Williams is the disgrace NBC News anchor who lied about his past. He was demoted to the network and Lester Holt took permanent control of The Nightly News.
Sharpton and Kelly get into a heated confrontation over racial matters.
Megyn Kelly is the hottest act on Fox News. The blonde bombshell was promoted from morning news to her own primetime show. She ousted that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity from his 9pm spot. That spot has been running neck and neck with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
Megyn Kelly and Al Sharpton are "friendly" towards one another. The respect each other's position as leaders of both respective companies. However they do not agree politically on many issues.
Especially when it comes to the issues of Black America. Sharpton is often seen as a racial agitator by many conservatives. His infamous past has made him a mark for conservative agitation. Matter of fact, every agitator and Black Republicans concern troll about every freaking criminal act in America. The conservatives always pull Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Pres. Barack Obama out their back pockets when they want to chastise the Black community.
Mediaite has a story online about a confrontational interview between Kelly and Sharpton.
Remember this is the woman who made a bold comment that Jesus and Santa Claus are White. She said that in regards to a Black child asking the race of Santa Claus.
At one point, Sharpton told the agitator to calm down.
It seems like Donald Trump isn't the only one who despises Megyn Kelly.
