Ivanka Trump and her father, the fuhrer saw their brands literally lifted off the shelves.
It was first Macy's which pulled his official brands. Then came Nordstrom, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Sears, and Kmart. These are mainstream retailers no longer invested in the Trump name.
Donald J. Trump, the current leader of the United States is once again facing another controversy.
The news got attention. Matter of fact, it's ignoring the fact that Sears Holdings (the Kmart and Sears empire) is crumbling before our eyes. It's going to be likely we're going to see the end in 2017.
Trump never shy of an opinion, hopped on his social media to rant about how these terrible companies are disrespecting him.
He's complaining about the mainstream retailers dropping his brands. He is not happy they're taking their frustrations on poor little Ivanka.
Ivanka's professional brands took a nosedive after the election and the companies found no other choice than to drop the retailer.
Political advisor Kellyanne Conway found herself in hot water after she appeared on Fox News to give a shout out to the brand. It was a clear ethics violation and it drew criticism from kookspiracy chaser Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT).
Like every time the Grammy's come on, someone who made an impact in the music industry passed away. I mean we are reminded about the tragic death of Whitney Houston. She died on February 11, 2012. Now one of the greatest jazz musicians in the world passed away.
Al Jarreau, the voice behind several hits and the winner of seven Grammy Awards passed away early Sunday morning at the age of 76.
On his official website, the news was confirmed. He died in Los Angeles. He was hospitalized for exhaustion and it forced him off his tour. He would cancel his tour dates and semi-retire from touring.
He death was preceded with family and friends present.
He was a product of Milwaukee. He sang for fun growing up and didn't pursue a music career. He decided to jump into show business when he graduated from college.
Before his death, he apologized to his fans.
"With complete sorrow, Al Jarreau must retire from touring. He is thankful for his 50 years traveling the world in ministry through music --- and for everyone who shared this with him --- his faithful audience, the dedicated musicians and so many other who have supported his effort."
He is survived by his wife Susan and their son, Ryan.
Our late thread is dedicated to Al Jarreau and we mourn his loss.
Chrisette Michele faces a backlash for going to the fuhrer's inaugural.
Motown artist Chrisette Michele is facing a backlash for her performance for the fuhrer.
She didn't perform for Donald J. Trump. However she did perform at the inaugural balls.
Many of her family and friends have disowned her and her fans are calling for a boycott of her music because she decided to perform on the grounds of unity.
The singer lost her spot with director Spike Lee. He nixed the idea of using her songs on his Netflix series.
Of course, many also threw death threats her way.
The singer even said that Trump ignored her after the performance.
"Originally I was supposed to perform directly after his first speech, and I had done that with Barack Obama before, so I was used to that kind of experience. And the woman who organized the event came and told me, 'Now you're going to go first and he's going to go after you'. I looked her in the eye and said, 'My family has disowned me. If you decide to Google me, you'll see that America is writing about me in their newspapers. I'm the black poster child for discord right now, and he's not going to shake my hand?' So no, I didn't get to meet him."
Michele said that the Women's March is an example of the power that drives her to sing. She supports the march.
Now that's he getting mainstream attention for being a vocal opponent of Black Lives Matter, the controversial Wisconsin sheriff, David Clarke, Jr. is now facing pressure. Many in the area want him to do his job. They want him to focus on the city of Milwaukee and the county. They want him to stop making an ass of himself on television and radio.
There's no signs of him ending his reign of terror. The junk food media has propped this Black lawman as the voice of anti-Black resentment. He is an elected Democrat who talks like a Republican. He wears cowboy hats and acts like he's a tough guy. He call residents to arm themselves when it came to Blacks robbing them. He said that those who died in his custody deserved their fates.
He has such disdain for the regards of human life. He is being considered for a position in the fuhrer's administration.
He claims to be a "no nonsense" lawman. He spent the last three years bashing on Barack Obama.
Now the pressure is on.
Milwaukee County is launching an investigation into the sheriff's misbehavior on a plane and social media. Earlier this year he got into a huge spat with Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, a liberal agitator who appears on CNN and HuffPost Media.
In a set of tweets, Clarke called Hill a "JIGABOO".
I am tired of this jigaboo telling black people who they should be, what they should do. He's a lackey for Democrats https://t.co/XRI5bEPo0F
The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the sheriff and his department. They believe that the sheriff is abusing his powers and not giving interns in his county lockup the proper health and treatment.
He recently got into a few spats with the junk food media, activists, and regular people.
One incident that happened recently involved a man and him on the same flight where he was detained by the county boys after he got off.
Dan Black filed a complaint against Clarke after the sheriff got angry with him over a dispute over the fuhrer's election. Black said that six deputies and two K-9 units waited at General Mitchell International Airport. They detained him and then questioned him for over 15 minutes. Then he was let go.
Clarke went to social media to brag about the encounter. He said he would knock this person out.
"Next time [Black] or anyone else pulls this stunt on a plane they may get knocked out. The sheriff said he does not have to wait for some goof to assault him. He reserves the reasonable right to pre-empt a possible assault. "
Clarke called Black a "little man" who had the audacity to spew such vile garbage at the fuhrer.
The sheriff took aim at the junk food media. He said that it's all fake news and blamed a county executive for the news blowing up.
Chris Abele is getting annoyed by the antics. He warned Clarke to knock it off or face a state investigation. Clarke ignored the comments and started trashing on him.
He called Abele a supporter of Mrs. Bill Clinton, a knock at perennial failure Hillary Clinton. He said that this complaint, the abuse allegations in the county lockup, the brutalizing of a female motorist, the shooting of unarmed people by the law, and the audit a political witch hunt.
Governor and failed Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker is starting to notice but hasn't taken any action on Clarke or any authority figure in Milwaukee County.
Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI), Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) the U.S. Justice Department and NAACP are noticing the antics as well.
Moore said an incident involving Shade Swayzer prompt a federal investigation. The woman gave birth to her child while being held in lockup. Correction officers refused to aid her while giving birth.
The baby died after the staff gave no proper treatment to her. She is suing the county for the death.
Terrell Thomas was asking for water and was dehydrated. He was suffering from bipolar disorder and was having a mental breakdown. The officers shut off the water and let him die. Other interns said that the guards turned off the water on purpose.
Kristian Fiebrink was found dead in her cell. The family doesn't understand how she died in custody.
Michael Madden had a seizure after he hit his head while in lockup. The man would die while in custody. The staff ignored his pleas that he was having a headache.
There are allegations of correction officers having affairs with the interns and abusing them while in custody.
Clarke dismissed them and said that the witch hunts are part of the "snowflakes" bemoaning him over his support for the fuhrer.
Snowflake is a term now the White extremists are labeling progressive activists and Black leaders.
Milwaukee is one of the most segregated cities in the United States. It's still divided among the racial, social and economic lines. When a riot broke out in the city last year, the county's sheriff and governor both wanted the National Guard involved. They felt that the city of Milwaukee couldn't handle the riots.
Concern troll gets an answer to the Evanston Police and Lawrence Crosby controversy.
So Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States. Okay, fine. I guess you idiots will give this asshole the chance. Unfortunately I won't. I want to treat him and Mike Pence like they've treated Barack Obama. For the next four or eight years, I will be unrepentant.
I will not support this reality television star as my president. I refuse to respect this asshole and I won't bend over backwards like the people who voted for him.
So mind you I am honest about what I say. I don't have to apologize for it. Understand.
Now I posted this week about the issue with Lawrence Crosby who was roughed up by the Evanston Police after a woman called them. The woman clearly stated that she was "racially profiling" him.
I bluntly said. "Blake Murphy, expect death threats. You're going to get them for trying to be a 'hero.'"
"Your reactionary decision to follow a motorist because you suspect criminal activity was not only dangerous, but extremely stupid," I said. "You give the information to the law and let them handle it."
That brought this troll to question my posting. So in order to respond back to this troll, I want to look at the comments piece by piece and respond back with the answer.
Remember people, do not feed the trolls. Delete the comments and move on. Don't worry what a troll thinks. They can't change your mind. I am certainly not going to change theirs. As long as they are reading what me and S. Baldwin are posting on World News Today, I am pretty damn satisfied.
Get your reading glasses together. You have to look really hard at the word vomit.
This article is a hate crime! You are encouraging people to attack Blake Murphy. Your argument is apparently that white people cannot report apparent crimes to the police if they involve a black person. The race is not the issue in the woman's 911 call. She reasonably thought that someone was breaking into a vehicle, regardless of their skin color. She did say that "I didn't mean to racial profile the guy," but that was after she had seen the police beat down an innocent and arrest him on trumped up charges. She knew that he was being railroaded and was upset. Is she racist? There is no conclusive evidence on the tape to go either way. She may feel that her identifying his race in her earlier call would be viewed that way, as it had been in the edited tape of George Zimmerman's 911 call (largely due to NBC's "re-editing" of the tape). You could argue that it was foolish of her to follow his vehicle, and it probably was. However, the 911 operator did not tell her to stop doing so. By the same token it was probably foolish of Mr. Crosby to get out of his vehicle, but, again, the police are supposed to know how to handle these situations correctly. The fault in this lies solely in the response of the police. They could have instructed Mrs. Murphy to stop following the car. They could have given coherent instructions to Mr. Crosby and avoided most, if not all, physical contact with him. Really, though, the most reprehensible part is the cover up and charges afterwards even when the correct situation had been determined. Is there racism in how the police handled things? It would definitely seem so. You need to exam yourself and see why you feel such hate for someone who is trying to be a good citizen and keep someone's car from getting stolen.
This person by the name SrAgri responded with the comments.
Okay, thanks for commenting.
The first thing you said was this article is a hate crime. In what matter am I encouraging crimes against anyone's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political, economical, and financial standings?
I don't condone hate crimes against anyone. So that's the first thing you got wrong here.
You claim that I believe White people should never report crime to the police if the suspect is Black. No I am not saying that. First thing, you do not approach a person committing a crime. You do not follow a person who commits a crime. And if you have a description of the suspect, let the police handle it. I will not put my life in danger to save property.
Crime isn't based on color. It's an equal opportunity offender. So you're wrong on that one.
When Murphy said "I don't really feel like I'm racially profiling", that's an example of it. I don't assume that a person breaking into a car is actually breaking into a car. I know the reactionary have called the law on a man who had a CPR dummy inside his vehicle. The law broke his window because someone claimed that an older woman was trapped inside. I seen reactionary call the law on people who leave stuffed animals or dolls inside a vehicle. So for you to claim that the woman didn't racially profile Crosby, you're wrong on that one as well.
You actually have to pop the door locks out of older model vehicles. For a vehicle like Crosby's, you might have to have OnStar and special tools. It's highly unlikely for him to break into a vehicle like his based on technology that makes it harder for criminals to get into it. That's why newer model cars have keyless entry. It eliminates the driver from losing a set of keys or having unauthorized motorists inside their vehicles. The only way a criminal gets into a vehicle is the person leaving their keys inside an unlocked vehicle or having the engine running when they're in a business "for a minute".
Bringing up George Zimmerman. That's what Joe Madison used to call the diversion tactic. NBC was sued by Zimmerman on a claim that they purposely edited a tape where it only seems like Zimmerman was only considered about the race of Trayvon Martin. The case was thrown out on the grounds of the audio was fair use and it wasn't a copyright of Zimmerman. The producer who made the video was fired out the cannon. No different than Fox News running misleading audio from individuals. Or perhaps the James O'Keefe undercover sting operation videos. They have been a subject of controversy. I don't see you getting all upset over people like O'Keefe deliberately editing videos. He paid the price by being arrested and sued by the people who he went after.
By the way, Trayvon Martin was the teen who was shot in Sanford, Florida by Zimmerman and it launched the Black Lives Matter movement. It became a polarizing issue for the fact that the junk food media was obsessed with Martin's past instead of the shooter's past. Zimmerman is forever tarnished by the celebrity. He can't live a normal life because he openly bragged about murdering an unarmed child. Regardless of what Martin did, he didn't have a gun and for you to bring that up is an example of the four Ds.
Joe Madison used to say that concern trolls often work on Diversion, Distraction, Distortion and Deception. You are an example of what he's talking about.
I am not arguing whether following the suspect was a smart move. I am bluntly saying that it was stupid. Regardless, the 911 caller doesn't sit in the passenger seat. They don't know where the person is located. They ping the phone and alert the police to the nearest area where the phone's data is on. Most phones active or inactive allow you to make a 911 call.
Crosby came out his vehicle with his hands up. So you're saying you rather see him dragged out his car or shot. Regardless of what he would have done, either he would have tasted the pavement or the hot lead from the officer's service weapon. For a Black person, getting a wallet, putting your hands in the glove compartment or even being a cell phone could mean a threat to a cop's life. The cops see threat regardless of what he done.
He has a dash camera in his vehicle and he could use that in his lawsuit against the Evanston Police.
Evanston Police didn't hold these officers accountable. So given in a few years, one of them would use deadly force against another person of color. I promise you that it will happen soon.
I don't need to examine myself. I am pretty damn confident. I'm a father now and I don't need to be lectured by the likes of you or any other troll here.
So do me and S. Baldwin a favor. Go to my last posting in November and read it very carefully.
I reject racism and extremism. I reject Donald Trump and conservatism. I am unabashedly opposed to Trump and the Republican Party.
Anything else you got!
Please recycle your garbage before you step up to the plate.
The Detroit born singer said on social media, it's a wrap.
Anita Baker, the famed R&B, jazz singer announced on Twitter that she is retiring from the music business. Her label Blue Note was completely unaware that she was not giving them the best she got.
It all went down last week when she posted a cryptic message to her fans.
I remember that she had an album that was supposed to be released some years back, but it was scrapped.
She is a four time platinum selling artist. She won eight Grammy's for her albums.
I wonder if the fuhrer Donald J. Trump's victory caused her to retire. Obviously, many entertainers are not keen on the pussy grabber winning the election.
Anita Baker, you're our angel. We hope the best for you. And retirement isn't going away! It's kind of taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the music industry.
It's unfortunate that for every bad cop, there will likely be a dead cop. The bad cops make it more dangerous for the good cops. When they are exonerated from criminal acts, that makes it harder for the law enforcement to get assistance from the public.
Lawrence Crosby is suing the city of Evanston, Illinois after he had a brutal encounter with the police. And it was started by a call by a concerned citizen who believed he was "up to no good."
He was doctoral student at Northwestern University. He was pulled over in 2015 after a woman called 911 saying he looked like he was stealing a car.
He is a law abiding PhD student. But to the caller and the five officers who roughed him up, he was a no good car thief.
"This is my vehicle, sir. I have evidence..... I purchased this vehicle on January 23, 2015, from Libertyville Chevrolet," said Crosby.
It wasn't enough for the officers. When he got out of his vehicle with his hands up, they flung him to ground, kicked him and ordered him not to move. They placed him in handcuffs and detained him.
The Evanston Police released the dash camera footage and it detailed the half-hour encounter.
Lawrence Crosby from his Linkedin profile.
In October, Crosby was heading to Northwestern University. He noticed something in his vehicle wasn't right. So he got a metal bar out of his vehicle trying to fix the strip on the roof.
A white woman saw him pass by. He was wearing a hoodie and he had a bar in hand. She called the law.
"He had a bar in his hand, and it looked like he was jimmying the door open," said the caller.
When Crosby drove off, the woman followed his vehicle and relayed the directions to the police.
Crosby was on the phone was on the phone and talking to someone about him being followed.
"It was a little bid dark. You know how it is with Black people ---- they think we're always trying to do something wrong," Crosby said.
He was heading to the police station. He felt that the was the only place available for his safety.
He thought wrong.
He was arrested and charged for disorderly conduct and failure to obey a police order. The case was thrown out. The officers who roughed up Crosby weren't placed in the freezer and they're back on the beat ready to buck an unarmed Black person.
The woman said, "I didn't mean to racial profile the guy."
Her name is Blake Murphy.
Blake Murphy, expect death threats. You're going to get them for trying to be a "hero". Your reactionary decision to follow a motorist because you suspect criminal activity was not only dangerous, but extremely stupid. You give the information to the law and let them handle it.
President Barack Obama delivers his final primetime speech to the nation.
I'm going to miss Barack Obama as our president.
In Chicago, he delivers his final address to the nation before he prepares for the transition of power.
He will hand over the power to a controversial reality television star who happens to be a billionaire.
A man who is an avowed racist, sexist, xenophobic, and narcissist. An immature 70 year old man who happens to be named Donald J. Trump. He will be your next fuhrer of the United States,
The pussy grabbing begins on January 20th. The Obamas, the Clintons, Jimmy Carter and Mitt Romney will be there for the inauguration.
Young woman from Illinois went to Dairy Queen to get a dinner and left with a racial slur. Deianira Ford gets more than terrible food service. She was called a racial slur in front of her children.
In fuhrer Donald J. Trump's America, a franchise owner of a popular fast food restaurant got the audacity to call a customer a NIGGER because she was wanted to return an order that was wrong.
Jim Crichton. Expect death threats. Expect these death threats because you allowed your word vomit to get in the way of serving the customer. You have the nerve to call a Black woman a NIGGER because your workers fucked up an order. The customer has a right to respond to an order.
Deianeira Ford gets the last laugh in this transgression. Unfortunately she will not win the war given that fuhrer Trump continue to press for the elimination of political correctness.
In Zion, Illinois, Ford was with her children and she wanted to get a DQ meal with a Blizzard and couple of ice cream cones. She didn't think that the service was going to be that bad.
The Zion location is closed indefinitely.
Crichton, the owner of Dairy Queen approached her and started popping off at the mouth. She said that he was degrading her in front of her children.
"I was kind of taken back, and my daughter in the backseat repeated what he said and asked me what that means," Ford said.
Ford said she was so upset she called the law on him. The police report says that Crichton called her a NIGGER repeatedly in a dispute over the partially-filled food order that he handled. When Ford asked for a full refund, police said, "Crichton refused, gave her $5 back and called her and her children NIGGERS adding that "they did not deserve anything more."
The owner boasted that he was proud to say NIGGER to the woman and said that was "fed up with Black people."
When she posted her experience on social media, the backlash. The backlash came swiftly.
Crichton issued an apology saying that, "What I said was not appropriate and is something I cannot take back. I have no excuse. I can only ask for forgiveness and try to make it up to all involved. As a start, I, along with my employees, will undergo sensitivity training."
It was a little too late. Dairy Queen's corporate office in Minneapolis said, "Time's up. You done."
So Dairy Queen's internal investigation found that his behavior was unbecoming of the company.
They decided to end their franchise deal with Crichton. Basically firing him and his employees out the cannon.
Ford retained a lawyer and is considering legal actions against the owner. She had gotten support from organizations across the country and the Chicago Black Lives Matter group is getting involved in the matter. They are planning protests at the Zion location despite it being closed.
Scumbags face hate crime charges. The scumbags of the internet are lashing at the wrong folks.
Okay, here we go again! The white extremists are trying to trend #BLMkidnapping on Twitter.
They're placing the blame of a kidnapping on the feet of the Black Lives Matter movement. This white extremist movement the junk food media labeled the alt-right are race-baiting plain as day.
Most Americans condemn this brutal attack on a man with special needs. But somehow the issue isn't going away because the white extremists are still pressing for more junk food media coverage.
The four individuals are charged with kidnapping, felonious assault and federal hate crime charges.
Each charge could have them lockup for up to 25 years plus 10 for federal. They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
But in the social world of "fake news" and "boisterous outrage", they're "guilty as sin! Lock 'em up!"
An example of the Internet troll. Jimmy Kimmel mocks the 400 lb alt-right troll.
Now there's agitators online beeyotch-ing about the junk food media moving on to other issues.
There's this douche online who produced videos. I refuse to give this guy any recognition. He's mad that one of the anchors on the cable news circuit said that we should rush to judgment on how this tragedy occurred.
He's right.
These individuals should be charged. They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
What more can the junk food media do? They covered the story and it got attention.
But for the white extremist, it's not enough.
It's unfortunate that in America, the blame game exist. We blame others for the acts of these slimeballs.
Once again, I reject racism. I condemn these slimeballs. I will never rationalize White extremism.
I will not respect the fuhrer Donald J. Trump and those who follow him.
The White extremists are pissed that four criminals hogtied a man with special needs. They claim the junk food media buried the story because the suspects were Black and the victim was White.
Be warned the video and language is disturbing.
I don't blame Barack Obama or Black Lives Matter for the acts of these people. I rather blame the fuhrer Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Bruce Rauner, Rahm Emanuel and Facebook for the actions of these people.
Brittany Herring, expect death threats. This is the results of your ignorance and reckless behavior to a person with special needs. Your utter disrespect to this human being is no different than those men who brutalize victims in them terrorist videos.
The white extremists are once again livid over a woman who broadcast the beating of a man on Facebook Live. The attack happened in Chicago and the suspects are in custody. But according to the white extremists, this is "racially motivated crime" and the fault belongs on Barack Obama and Black Lives Matter. In the video it has some notable quotes and the suspects are taunting the victim.
The video is 30-minutes long and it has the suspects shouting at the victim, "fuck Donald Trump" and "fuck White people".
The suspects were Black and the victim was White.
One of the suspects is going to get death threats once she gets out of Cook County lockup.
An 18 year old man with special needs was taken from suburbs and held against his will. He was bounded and gagged.
In the video, several people look on as one of the people laid the knuckle style chili on the victim.
The video begins with the group of apparent captors yelling at the tied up man. They cut the sleeves of his sweatshirt as one says they're going to make him "butt ass naked."
The woman filming the video then appears to realize she's on Facebook Live, but continues recording as she smokes. The video also includes numerous references to drinking and getting drunk.
The group makes several references to Donald Trump at the beginning of the video, yelling his name and cursing him.
Another video was also posted on Facebook with the caption "#Trump Got Us #Fuckedup On My #DeadHomie."
The second video, which you can watch below, shows the group taunting the victim and forcing him to drink from a toilet.
Four of the suspects were taken into custody. They are innocent until proven guilty. Kidnapping charges itself carry up to 20 years in the iron college. If the federal government under the fuhrer gets involved, a hate crimes charge could carry 15 years.
Every suspect is guilty before proven innocent in the minds of concern trolls.
These concern trolls outed the suspect that was involved in the attack. The hashtag #brittanyherring and #blmkidnapping was trending online. Of course, white extremists often blame Black Lives Matter for every act caused by a Black criminal.
From now on, any criminal act motivated by either race, gender, sexuality, religion, or nationality will solely rest on the feet of Trump and the minions of the conservative media.
Jennifer Boyle, the infamous Chicago woman who disrespected a gay manager at a Peet's Coffee and Tea and later two Black women at Michael's is once again in the spotlight. Boyle was pressing charges on a man over a dispute. She claimed he served her a knuckle style chili.
Turns out that she lied about it and the guy is walking free without a record.
Our friends at Raw Story once again dug this corpse out the grave and tossed it into the river.
DNA Info reports that charges against 29 year old Ramiz Bajwa were dropped this week after his accuser, Jennifer Boyle, failed to show up in court.
An innocent man paid the price for this crazy beeyotch.
Stephane Jean-Louis, a friend of Bajwa's, tells DNA Info that Bajwa never assaulted Boyle, and said that the two got into an argument after Bajwa accidentally rang her doorbell.
Specifically, Jean-Louis tells the publication that "although he heard the woman yelling at Bajwa and the two arguing," for a short time, he "did not hear a scuffle ensue, and the woman was already walking back up the stairs by the time he'd gotten to the hallway."
"He can't even push her through that [front] door — you have to pull that door to get it open," Jean-Louis said Thursday. "There was no noise, nothing at all to make anyone seem like they were even pushed through the door."
The Family Struggle. The King of the South is losing his Queen.
Clifford "T.I." Harris and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle-Harris are splitting up. Harris, 36 and Cottle-Harris, 41 have been together for years but married for six. The relationship was a part of this junk food media obsession with reality television. They had two reality shows together.
T.I. is a rapper and business mogul. He released nine albums and is known by many in Atlanta either as T.I.P. and the King of The South. T.I. signed a deal with Roc Nation to distribute his album through Tidal.
T.I. created Grand Hustle (known Hustle Gang) and has signed acts like Travis $cott, B.o.B and Young Dro. He also has a publishing deal with Australian rapper/model Iggy Azalea.
Tiny is a singer, reality television star and socialite. She was a part of the 1990s group Xscape. The group was apart of the golden years of hip-hop and R&B. They signed onto So So Def Recordings and released three albums on the label.
Tiny wants custody of the younger two sons and daughter.
Both entertainers had run ins with the law. T.I. famously became an icon of hip-hop while he served a three year bid in the iron college. He beaten a 20 year bid in the federal time out for being a felon under disability. The Feds came to his suburban Atlanta home four hours before he was supposed to perform at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. He said that moment almost "killed him".
He cut a deal to stay out of federal time out. He took a few in the iron college and remained on in-house for the next five years. He would get married to Tiny in 2010 after he got out of the halfway.
Tiny has been arrested for having more than an ounce in the ride and allegations of rock and snow.
T.I. also has done community work, done acting, started a charity for troubled youth and film company. He also was known to help preventing two men from committing suicide.
T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle is still on the air despite the two are ending the marriage.
Could it be a publicity stunt or another attempt at trying to "shock and awe" the fans?
Tiny already threw the papers in the face of the rapper.
In court documents, she revealed their "marriage is irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation." which means that she's at the end of her rope. --- More on the alleged guy in the bottom.
Hollywood Life also reported that Tiny had enough. "Tiny is no Mother Theresa, but she dealt with T.I.'s crap for way too long," a source close to the former pair tells the gossip site.
T.I. and Floyd Mayweather are feuding over the allegations of Tiny having an affair with the boxer. Mayweather claims that T.I. is the one cheating and he knows the women.
"She stayed longer because of the five kids, but T.I. took her for granted and just thought she would always be there and she didn't want to be stuck in that rut forever."
Tiny wants custody of the younger children: King C'Andre, Major Philant and Heiress Diana.
She also requested for properties acquired during the marriage be split equally, but wants T.I. to be held responsible for the debts acquired during the relationship due to his "high earning ability."
The couple does have four other children. Both are from other relationships.
T.I. hasn't commented on the divorce.
Tiny was rumored to be in a relationship with semi-retired boxer and media mogul Floyd Mayweather. T.I. hate this guy with a passion.
The two squared off in 2014 and recently. Let it be known, that Floyd Mayweather is reactionary as a boxer and does flex a 95 mph right hook. T.I. can swing 85 mph left hook.
Tony The Tiger is the iconic Kellogg's spokesperson. Breitbart is bitching about Kellogg's pulling its sponsorship.
Something to keep in mind.
What's trending online is #DumpKelloggs on Twitter.
Conservative outrage over Kellogg's (and its subsidiaries Carr's, Kashi, MorningStar, Sunshine and Keebler) are pulling advertising from the far-right Breitbart News. The site is accused of pandering in White extremism and fake news.
Now the website mounts an attack on Kellogg's and other companies that severed ties with the site.
And now people are "boycotting" Kellogg's by not purchasing the brands. Of course some are going to the extreme by pouring it into the trash and down their toilet bowl.
Mind you these are the very same people who say that "you're not a patriot" if you stand on the American flag. These are the same people who want to boycott Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers because he refuses to stand for the national anthem. These are the same people who believe that a victim of police brutality deserved it because he had a criminal history.
See it's the ongoing divide we're going to be facing when the dictator comes to power.
This is the formula of Breitbart. They rally their White extremists friends to go after an entity that they proceed as liberal. Kellogg's isn't supportive of extremism and they along with others pulled advertising from
Cereal killer.
White extremist Stephen Bannon will be in the White House with his boss, the billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/reality television star. That asshole will by your next President of the United States. He and his Christian extremist partner will take the helm in January.
Bannon, the former CEO of the Breitbart Media is a panderer of extremism. He will be the asshole's chief of staff.
Bannon and his minions are celebrating in victory over the Democrats. They promise more to come in the era of Donald J. Trump.
Now as Trump is gathering his posse together, the junk food media is watching his every move. They making sure he can keep his promises since winning the election. The agitators are carefully watching the asshole and hoping he slips up. Being the new guy will be good for the first few months.
White extremists are livid over Kellogg's cereal pulling ads from far right blog.
Once you slip up, it's going to be nonstop coverage.
While we're ahead, I might as well get this out the way.
Progressives are plotting revenge on Republicans. After the treatment of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton by the right, the left is now going to make noise against Trump.
Progressives are putting pressure on Republicans and their conservative allies. They are mounting offensives against talk radio,Republican lawmakers, conservative blogs, CNN and Fox News. They are calling for economic boycotts against these groups. Conservatives are countering with boycotts of groups that attack Breitbart and InfoWars.
Gotta love the clickbait stories of racist Trump supporters. Last night I posted the video of two White people flaunting their privilege at Black women. They were brutally attacking Black women and claiming that bad customer service was an act of racism towards them.
Now it's reported that the woman who featured in the video ranting at two Michael's employees was the woman who had ranted at two workers at a Peet's Coffee and Tea store in Chicago.
Her name is Jennifer Boyle and she's now in hiding after the videos were published.
Someone recognized her and posted her name and address and LinkedIn profile to social media.
She attended DePaul University and worked as a human resource business partner at Sinai Health System.
The poster said that in the workplace, she was truly the bitch in the video. He claimed that she's "batshit, racist and crazy."
"She is just as nuts in person as this video depicts," said the poster. "From a legal perspective, I am not sure what I am or am allow to say; but I will leave it at this. Everyone was happy when they found out she was no longer welcome back."
I blame Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott and Bruce Rauner for the actions of these White assholes. They support this assholes who talk this anti-Black, anti-Hispanic, anti-LGBT and anti-Muslim rhetoric. They are flagrant supporters of this [Alt-Right] White Extremist movement.
The Huffington Post once again goes for the click bait. It's unfortunate that I happened to click on this bait. There were two incidents where White people were demeaning Black women.
They go around flaunting that they're being discriminated because they're White and supporters of the dictator and his Christian extremist partner.
A Chicago area shopper at a Michael's craft store got riled up by a Black cashier.
She got riled up over the Black cashier asking her to pay for $1 reusable bag. They ran out of normal bags and asked her to purchase a reusable one.
"And I voted for Trump, so there. You want to kick me out because of that? And you look who won," said the unidentified customer.
Another customer whipped out the camera and recorded the tirade. She shared it on social media and it went viral. Jessie Grady who filmed the encounter was shakened by the reaction of the woman.
The woman called her a slut and said her child was a shoplifter.
"I was just discriminated by two black women, and you being a white woman and you literally thinking that's okay. Why don't you go home to your husband who's cheating on you," said the customer.
She aims at a Black customer and called her an animal.
"This woman came around and screamed at me from across the goddamn store like an animal! An animal! Animal! You screamed at me from across the store like you were in your own living room. You're an animal!"
Michael's and the Chicago Police confirm that a disturbance was there. But the woman who went into a tirade was long gone. Michaels confirms that the two workers were upset but they followed the procedures correctly.
"We regret that our customers and team members were affected by this unfortunate incident."
And earlier this month a White man was on a profanity laced rant at a Black barista at a Miami area Starbucks store.
The man, David Sanguesa was visibly upset with the woman because he felt that his politics were the reasons to why he didn't get his coffee on time. He said that he waited a long time because he was a Trump supporter.
This guy claims he was mentally ill when he berated a Black woman working at a Starbucks.
"Because I voted for Trump. Trump. You lost," said Sanguesa. "I was racially discriminated against."
He said that he will sue Starbucks.
The man even threatened to fight a customer who was telling him to calm down. Starbucks is looking into the incident and called upon all parties to work this out.
Welcome to Trump's America. An America where these people can disrespect Black women.
They think it's appropriate to call First Lady Michelle Obama an "ape in heels". Or in the case of these two White people, they have the audacity to call Black cashiers "trash" for doing their jobs and not caving to their demands.
When I tuned into SiriusXM's The Groove, one familiar voice was often a fixture on the 24/7 classic R&B and Funk station. It was Colonel Abrams. Tonight we learned that he passed away at the age of 67.
We'll do a Late Thread in honor of Colonel Abrams.
SoulTracks.com says that it was nearly a year ago that they reported that Abrams was suffering badly from diabetes and was financially strapped by the illness.
The Detroit-born, Manhattan raised singer began playing both piano and guitar while still quite young. By the mid 1970s he became part of the band Heavy Impact. But it was nearly a decade later that Abrams really made a name for himself with the big hit “Music Is the Answer.” It began a string of dance hits that capitalized on the electronic sounds that were popular in the mid 80s, and included “The Truth,” “Over and Over,” “I’m Not Gonna Let You,” and his biggest song, the dancelicious international hit, “Trapped.”
Soul Tracks Also writes that Abrams continued to chart on the Dance and R&B charts into the mid-90s, and performed around the world into the new century. He also formed his own Colonel Records and released music sporadically through the early part of this decade.
Unfortunately and tragically, by December of 2015, Abrams was quite ill and homeless, and his friends began a crowdfunding campaign to help him pay for his medical treatments.
Tonight we mourn the loss of a familiar face in television. If you grew up in the 1970s and 1990s, you would remember Ron Glass. Ron was the critically acclaimed actor who played Dt. Ron Harris in the classic sitcom Barney Miller. He was a featured player on many shows such as Firefly, Rugrats (including spin-off All Grown Up), Teen Angel, The New Odd Couple and Mr. Rhodes.
The veteran television and film actor died Saturday of respiratory failure at age 71, his agent told NBC News.
"Ron was a private, gentle and caring man," said Jeffrey Leavitt, Glass' agent. "He was an absolute delight to watch on screen. Words cannot adequately express my sorrow."
Any avid TV watcher of the last 35 years or so is likely familiar with Glass' face. He is perhaps best known for his Emmy-nominated role as NYPD Det. Ron Harris on the classic cop sitcom "Barney Miller," which aired from 1975 to 1982 on ABC.
Glass is the second cast member from that critically acclaimed show to have passed away this year. The irascible and iconic Abe Vigoda, who played Det. Phil Fish for part of the sitcom's run, died in January at age 94.
For a younger generation of TV viewers, Glass was a standout as the deeply religious preacher Derrial Brook on the 2002 cult science fiction show "Firefly," which was eventually spun off into 2005 feature film — "Serenity" — co-starring Glass.
In real life, the Indiana-born actor was a devout Buddhist and an active member of the SGI-USA Friendship Center in Los Angeles.

Do you honestly believe that a cop could face a conviction given that most of these high profile incidents often go without one?
I won't hold my breathe. Matter of fact, "I can't breathe!"
Too many of these murderers behind a badge get away with this. I am so frustrated with the scenario where a cop can just deadly force if his or her life is in danger.
I wouldn't be surprised that the cop who bucked Philando Castile will have a lawyer demanding to see the criminal history of Philando. I bet you money they're going to cross exam Diamond Reynolds, the woman who livestreamed her boyfriend being shot by this cop.
We're on the first steps of a trial. The indictment. The Minnesota State Police and Ramsey County prosecutors recommended criminal charges against Jeronimo Yanez, the officer from St. Anthony Police Department.
Yanez is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. If convicted of second degree murder he could face LIFE in the iron college. The reckless discharge of a firearm charge could carry up to 1o years in the iron college.
In July, Yanez stopped Philando's vehicle for an alleged taillight being out. Yanez earlier radioed the dispatchers that he thought the two were involved in a robbery. He wanted to check IDs. The cop thought Philando had a "wide-set nose".
Yanez asked for Philando's license and registration. Philando said that he was licensed to carry a weapon and had one in his pants pocket.
Diamond said that Yanez shot Philando after he was reaching for his ID. He was shot four times in the arm. He would die of his injuries.
No mugshot of this murderer.
What Yanez is going to use as defense. He's was up to no good at the time excuse. And if he convinces an all White jury that he feared for his life, Yanez walks.
Now this happened around the same time that Alton Sterling was shot and killed by Baton Rouge Police. This inspired two terrorists to ambush officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge.
The number of police/vigilante shootings of unarmed or legally licensed individuals inspired Black Lives Matter. The group has been very vocal about gun crime and police reform. It's often attacked by the alt-right and conservative agitators as fanning the seeds of hate against White people and the cops.
Justice for Philando is trending once again. But will hashtag activism eventually lead to a conviction?
