Dayton Reaches A Milestone: 40 Homicides!

Tashawna Gaines was the victim of a shooting in Dayton, Ohio.

The rust belt city of Dayton, Ohio had over 40 homicides this year. The most recent shootings this week has police chief Richard Biehl in the crosshairs.

Police were called to Gettysburg Avenue after they found a car riddled with bullets. A man and woman were brutally gunned down. We don't know if they survived that shooting. Later that night, they found a young woman shot in the back at the DeSoto Bass housing complex.

One of the victims names was released to the junk food media. Her name was Tashawna Gaines of Dayton. I quickly checked Facebook and found her profile.

Even in my own neighborhood, I heard seven rounds popped off. Fortunately no one was injured.

The Dayton Police and Montgomery County Sheriff's Department are dealing with the Long Hot Summer. Usually in urban communities, gun violence spike up during the summer.

The Dayton Daily News released the last shootings this month alone.

• Tuesday, Aug. 16: Fatal shooting around 1:30 p.m. in the 5900 block of West Third Street. Victim ID’d as D’Juan Norvell, 32, of Dayton.

• Saturday, Aug. 13: Shooting around 6 p.m. in the 2200 block of the 2200 block of Rustic Road in Dayton. Victim seriously hurt, taken to Miami Valley Hospital.

• Saturday, Aug. 13: Shooting around 3 a.m. in the 2100 block of Edwin C. Moses Boulevard in Dayton. Victim taken to MVH.

• Friday, Aug. 12: Shooting late Friday, just before midnight in the Kilmer Street. Woman struck by stray bullet, taken to MVH.

• Friday, Aug. 12: Fatal shooting around 11 p.m. on Republic Drive in Harrison Twp. Victim ID’d as Michael Binegar, 36, of Dayton.

• Friday, Aug. 12: Fatal shooting around 1:45 p.m. in the 1900 block of Auburn Avenue in Dayton. Victim ID’d as Dillon Ward, 25, of Dayton.

I assure you that at least 2,300 people are killed a day by gun violence. That's about 56 people a day have been a victim of gun violence.

Now you know that conservatives are so concerned about gun violence in the Black community.

I heard conservatives bring up "what about Black on Black crime" time and time again.

They play the role of "concern troll" when it comes to addressing Black violence. Since the rise of Black Lives Matter, conservatives have tried to dismiss the group as anti-cop and anti-White.

The group is pressing for police reform and accountability for officers who use deadly force in situations that didn't merit it. The group is concern about intraracial violence. Again, most of the victims of gun violence know the shooter.

These incidents have sparked discussion but it hasn't got the needle moving in Congress.

Congress won't pass a gun control law. They believe that it impedes on the Second Amendment.

Mind you Ohio and 30 other states have open carry laws. So it's perfectly legal to have a firearm in public. But if you use it in malicious ways, you forfeit your rights as a lawful citizen.

Still, if a Black man was walking in a White neighborhood with a firearm, the law will immediately arrive with guns drawn ordering the man to get on the ground or they'll shoot.

Republicans and some Democrats in particular are devoted to seeing Black genocide. They won't pass a simple background check. They won't hold straw sellers and buyers accountable for gun violence.

The families of gun crime victims can't sue the gun manufactures because the laws don't hold them responsible. The family of Jessica Ghawi were forced to pay the gun manufacture after they loss their case against the company that sold the firearm to the Aurora Colorado terrorist.

They want to keep White conservative men happy by allowing these loose restrictions on gun buys.

They want to punish Blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims with death if we carry firearms in public.

If any of these individuals pose with firearms on social media, we're regarded as liberals, thugs, illegals and terrorists.

I am done sending my condolences to the families of gun violence victims.

What is needed is accountability. The shooter needs to be held accountable for the actions. No doubt.

But what we need is a Congress who can get things done. We need to hold Republicans and Democrats accountable for their inept actions.

If you support allowing firearms in the hands of terrorists, gang members, human traffickers, those with mental issues and corrupt police officers, you're likely a Donald Trump and Mike Pence supporter.

Puppy Chow!

Shad Moss is dropping Bow Wow for good.

Shad Moss, formerly known as Bow Wow is announcing he is putting the mic up for good. The 29 year old rapper has decided that the music isn't popping anymore and he felt its time to move on.

When we first heard of Shad Moss, we knew him as Lil' Bow Wow. The name was given to him by the legendary Snoop Dogg. He was then signed to Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Recordings. His debut single "Bounce with Me" from Big Mama's House sparked a memorable career in pop music.

Moss would become a huge pop celebrity. His debut album Beware of Dog became a hit. He would achieve a platinum album at the age of 12. The album had features from Snoop Dogg, Xscape, Da Brat, Jermaine Dupri and Jagged Edge.

Then his follow up album Doggy Bag came out and it reached platinum. Around that time, Durpi was having issues with Columbia Records and So So Def left leaving Moss and Jagged Edge behind.

Moss would get acting gigs and a modeling career. He wss at the top of his game.

Around that time, Moss decides to drop the Lil' off Bow Wow. He would release three more albums and a collaboration album with former B2K singer Omarion.

About the time his contract with Columbia, he was looking for a label to release his music. He would find a home with Cash Money and Young Money.

For at least five years, Moss was gearing up for a return to the music with the album Underrated. It was supposed to be released around 2011, but it was shelved for the newer and popular acts. Lil' Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj were dominating the charts and it was squeezing time away from acts like Moss,Tyga and Busta Rhymes.

Around 2012, Moss held a spot on the couch on BET. He was one of the final host to 106 & Park, a music video show. He would soon announce he would leave Cash Money Records around the end of 106 & Park.

Now he signed to Sean "Puffy" Comb's Bad Boy Records. He is hoping that this album will be a masterpiece before he ends his career as a rapper.

We can only hope.

Anyway, the CSI: Cyber franchise was a flop. CBS canceled the series within its second season.

Here's a throwback to Bow Wow's career. The song "Bounce with Me".

Hara Arena Closed!

Hara Arena, Dayton's oldest public venue closes. 

No where else but Hara!

Dayton iconic venue the Hara Arena and Exhibition Center is closing. It will hold its last event on August 27 before it closes.

The Hamvention, a gathering amateur ham radio operators often hold their events at the facility. The news is devastating to the community. The city of Trotwood is a "ghost town".

Bill Goodman's Gun and Rifle Show, the City's Flea Market, WWE Wrestling, the Dayton Demonz, The Annual Bride Show and high school proms were often held at the Hara Arena.

Not to mention rock shows, hip-hop concerts and monster truck rallies were held at the event.

According to the local news agitators, the venue's internal legal fight couldn't be solved.

The Wamplers are feuding with one another over the direction of the depleted complex. When you pass by it, it looks so run down and it was in need of repairs.

Trotwood hopes to score the Montgomery County Fairgrounds near the property. Mind you that Dayton was hoping to convert the current venue into a mix-used lifestyle center.

Kind of reminds me of the failed Ballpark Village.

Sad days are ahead in Dayton, Ohio.

Matter of fact, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were supposed to have their first debate at the Wright State University's Nutter Center. The event was canceled and it cost Dayton badly.

They claimed that event would cost $8 - 10 million. Wright State University will be passed on when 2020 comes.

Dayton a rust belt city with 137,000 residents A city that sits within 70 miles of Columbus, 90 miles of Indianapolis and 60 miles of Cincinnati. Dayton is a city that has no value whatsoever.

Missing Ohio Woman Is The Body In The Woods!

Ohio woman's body was found in the woods.

The young woman who was reported missing for nearly a year was found on a farm.

Now the Montgomery County bag 'em ups confirms that the body of Lindsay Bogan was found.

Tragic news for a search of a woman the family was hoping to find alive.

Lindsay was unfortunately a victim of the streets. She was addicted to heroin and was selling her body for the boy. Women of the stroll are usually addicted to the boy.

She was a  daughter, mother and a sister. She will be missed by many. This could be the act of a possible serial killer in our community. Her boyfriend (or pimp) is currently in the iron college for promoting prostitution and drug charges. He is the person of interest in the disappearance.

Eric Sexton was pimping Lindsay. He may have something to do with her disappearance.

He claims that he saw Lindsay jump into a trick's car and never came home.

Eric Sexton, a 50 year old man who may have fathered her child. Sexton is in the iron college for 15 years on the pimp game. He will be enrolling in the Offender's U after he is released.

Middletown Police, the Butler County Sheriff along with the FBI will now try to figure out if Lindsay was killed before her body dropped off rural Madison Township.

The Greene County sheriff and Montgomery County bag 'em ups are trying to find the identity of a woman whose remains were found in Spring Valley.

At first they believed that it was Lindsay, but it turned out inconclusive.

Lindsay had ties to Dayton, Ohio. She grew up in Moraine.

World News Today sends our condolences to the family of Lindsay Bogan. We hope that the law will catch the individual who murdered this beautiful woman.

The Mean Orange And Slick Banana!

Trump love 'em some Hoosier.

Mike Pence is likely going to be the veep for Donald Trump. The Indiana governor has one day to decide on whether he's going to run for reelection or run for Trump's second banana.

News is being floated that the U.S. Secret Service will be heading to Indianapolis soon to give Pence a lift. The vice presidential pick will accompany Donald Trump at the Trump tower in New York.

The Trump campaign has been mum on the speculation of who's going to be the running mate.

Pence, formerly the House Majority Whip who represented the 6th Congressional District which included suburban areas east of Indianapolis and suburban areas west of Cincinnati. He was born in Columbus, Indiana. He is married to Karen and has three children.

He  resigned from Congress to run for governor of Indiana.

YOU'RE HIRED!
TRUMP PICKS PENCE

 He would win in a landslide.

During his first term, he was marred with scandals and controversy. He signed off a religious freedom law that openly discriminated against LGBT residents. It caused a huge backlash and it forced him to recall portions of the law. The boycott was going to push NCAA men's basketball away from Indy.

Pence said nice things about Donald Trump. He even said that although he'll support Ted Cruz and his running mate Carly Fiorina, Trump has a lot of energy here in Indiana.

Pence will be the safest choice given that the others were more toxic. Pence is a social and fiscal conservative. He is a part of the establishment. He does have experience in government and how to help Trump maneuver moderate Republicans to their campaign.

Will it make a difference?

I don't know. Pence is going to be more of an attack dog to the Trump campaign. It will give conservatives some ease. It will also make the possibility of Republicans finally uniting around a candidate that's credibility is sketchy at best.

The rest of the contenders running for the nomination are extremely flawed. Chris Christie gave President Barack Obama props for Hurricane Sandy. Christie also has the worst record as governor of a state. Jeff Session is too extreme and pro-Confederate. He has said racially ignorant things about Hispanics, Blacks and Muslims. Michael Flynn is an anti-Islamic Democrat who is pro-choice. He is a kookspiracy nut who believes the Muslims are hiding under his bed. Newt Gingrich is a washed up ham. He has more scandals than you can imagine. The Democrats could make the case of hypocrisy given that Trump's married three times and Newt was married three times. They both went after Bill Clinton for his allegations of cheating.

Well it looks like Newt Gingrich is out. Softball Hannity has paid for Newt's trip to Indianapolis to get a little time with Trump.

So far, Trump also got some support after Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg spoke ill of him. She said that Trump being the president is a disaster to human rights and American liberties.

Trump has also canceled his trip to Cincinnati to do the NAACP Convention.

Trump will also appear on Softball Hannity's program with his running mate.

Miami-Jacobs Career College Leaves Dayton!

Before the sign was removed. Miami Jacobs Career College, a for-profit institution shuts down in the Dayton market.

A staple of Dayton, Ohio is about to close up shop. Miami Jacobs Career College is closing at the end of this year. It's going to put students in vine and staff out of jobs.

Miami Jacobs has operated out of the community for over 100 years.

The private college will no longer accept new students at its Dayton, Springboro, Troy and Sharonville campuses, remaining open there only to allow current students to finish their programs, said John Ware, executive director of State Board of Career Colleges and Schools.

The Columbus campus will remain open for the time being.

Many students who enrolled in the college can't transfer their time credits into Wright State University, Sinclair College and the University of Dayton.

Not sure if American National College and Brightwood will accept enrollees.

The school offers degrees in nursing, cosmetology, healthcare, accounting, criminal justice, and graphic design.

Ohio Woman Kills Boyfriend On His Birthday!

Dayton woman murdered her boyfriend on his birthday.

There was a murder in my community today. The long hot summer once again in Dayton, Ohio.

The city police reports a record month in gun violence in one single month. This incident has close ties to me. I know the shooter. I don't know her personally, but I went to high school with the suspect.

This was a domestic violence incident. The woman killed her boyfriend on his birthday.

The Dayton Police quickly arrested the woman and booked her on capital murder charges. She will face a judge in the coming days.

Nina Davis used to go my high school back in the late 1990s. Now this woman is the suspect in a fatal homicide in Dayton, Ohio. She murdered 37-year old Travis Smith in their home.

The incident happened on Patton Avenue.

Davis confessed to the crime saying that she and argument before the shooting.

Davis did it in front of her children.

Some cold hearted nonsense in my city.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Travis Smith.

Davis is innocent until guilty. The murder charge alone will put her in the iron college for LIFE. If the prosecutors decide on more than LIFE, it could be the death card. If this was an act of self-defense, Davis would have to prove that the victim was abusive towards her and the family.

Crowned!

Cavs Win NBA 2016 Championship.

Briefly, the Cleveland Cavaliers knocked off the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the NBA Championship. The Warriors were considered the favorites to sweep this. But it seems like the Cavs splashed their dreams out the water.

It's a historical win for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The NBA Championship comes to LaBron James, Kyrie Irving, JR Smith, Kevin Love, and Tristan Thompson.

52 Years in the Making.

93-89 was the final score for the Cavaliers.

Congratulations to the 2016 NBA Champions.

Came from a 3-1 deficit to beat a team that everyone believed would have a REPEAT.

George Voinovich Passed Away!

George Voinovich the former U.S. senator and governor from Ohio passed away in Cleveland.

Former U.S. senator and governor of Ohio George Voinovich passed away today. His family confirmed that the former lawmaker died peacefully in his sleep.

He died a few weeks shy of his 80th birthday.

Voinovich was one of the most popular lawmakers in the state. He was a politically moderate at best.

He was then the mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. Probably one of the last Republican mayors of the city.

Voinovich served two terms as Ohio Governor in the 1990s and two terms in the U.S. Senate, capping a political career that started in 1963 and led him to the Cleveland mayor's office on his way to the governor's office and then Washington. He was 79.

Voinovich earned a reputation as a tightwad during his years in office, especially as governor from 1991 to 1999.

Voinovich with his predecessor Rob Portman. Portman is the current U.S. Senator for Ohio.

He shined his own shoes, bought his clothes on sale, and when he learned public money was used to buy snacks served on state airplanes, he banned the snacks. He also sold one of the state's airplanes.

He was slated to be a delegate for the Republican National Convention in the city.

His predecessor is Rob Portman, the former Bush official who was also a U.S. representative from Cincinnati.

Right now, Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and former Ohio governor Ted Strickland both are facing off for the U.S. senate race for the state. Ohio's leans determine who may become the next President of the United States.

Of course, Voinovich was mentioned by the two in their prayers to his family.

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama won the state and the presidency.

Ohio and Florida are the most hotly contested races for 2016. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is hoping to win these states. The states are the key to winning the presidency.

Portman is also facing a tougher race also. But the state's leanings may be in his favor. Strickland is not getting name recognition and his term as governor was mirrored in failure. He's got an uphill battle to win this.

OHIO in the U.S. Senate race is LEANING REPUBLICAN.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of George Voinovich. This the last speech Voinovich given before he passed away.

Monkey Business!

Gorilla was killed after grabbing boy. International outrage aimed at the Cincinnati Zoo and the parents of the boy.

I've ignored this because I wanted no part of this. I was heartbroken about the death of a gorilla being killed at the world famous Cincinnati Zoo. International backlash has sparked calls for arresting the parents.

The network that devotes its time to giving Donald Trump all access is now outing the family of the boy who got into the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo.

The family of the boy who got into the enclosure got death threats after outrage over the killing of 17 year old Harambe. Of course, I found out why?

They were Black. 

The network devoted to trashing #BlackLivesMatter went on to discussing the controversy. 

Raw Story picked up on the father of the boy. Deonne Dickerson was mentioned by Fox News as having a "lengthy criminal record". Deonne wasn't at the zoo but the very mention of his background is surely dog whistle. 

The parents of the boy who got into a gorilla enclosure got death threats. Trolls started playing the racial blame game.

The network scrubbed the fact that Deonne changed his life around, Like all parents, he was shocked and scared that his son ended up in this situation. He and mother Michelle Gregg both express sorrow for the gorilla being killed by zoo officials. No one wanted this happen. It was an accident.

The junk food media is slamming the parents and the zoo for the death. The Cincinnati Police and Hamilton County sheriff is investigating if charges should be filed.

Read the article from Shaun King. He notes that the media's obsession with the race of the child and parents is a disgrace. He said that other victims of animal attacks at zoos were ignored. Race didn't become a matter when the victim was killed.

World News Today send our condolences to Harambe. Silverback gorillas are critically endangered species.

Marshall "Rock" Jones Of The Ohio Players Passed Away!

Marshall "Rock" Jones passed away. He was one of the original members of the legendary Ohio Players.

The bassist of the legendary funk band The Ohio Players passed away. Marshall Jones died in his home in Houston, Texas, according to the Associated Press.

Marshall "Rock" Jones was an original member of the Dayton-based funk/rock group. His daughters Donna Williams and Charlotte Phillips had said that their father peacefully in his sleep.

He was one of the original members of The Ohio Players. The band formed in 1959 as the Ohio Untouchables and it included Robert Ward, Clarence "Satch" Satchell, Cornelius Johnson, and Ralph "Pee Wee" Middlebrook. Ward would eventually leave the group and they added LeRoy "Sugarfoot" Bonner to the group and then they would become the legendary Ohio Players.

"We appreciate all of the support and prayers,”  Donna Williams said. “We lost not only a father, a grandfather and an uncle, we lost an icon to the community and an icon to his family.”

The family is planning a memorial in Dayton. Details will be announced later.

James "Diamond" Williams,  the Ohio Players' leader said Jones will be missed.

“He was inventive, and he was creative.  He was a great musician,” said Williams. “Marshall Jones contributed greatly, and we will miss him.”

The Dayton native was 75.

Jones was with the Ohio Players during the height of the legendary band’s success.

He was a member when the group started in Dayton in 1959 as the Ohio Untouchables.

Williams said Jones had battled cancer and had suffered a recent stroke.

He is pushing for a Dayton street to be named for the Ohio Players while some members are still living.

From their beginnings in Dayton, The Ohio Players gained international acclaim with a long list of hits that include "Fire," "Love Rollercoaster," "I Wanna be Free," "Pain," "Funky Worm," "Skin Tight," "Honey" and "Sweet Sticky Thing."

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Marshall "Rock" Jones.

Ohio Man Knuckle Down Woman Outside Bar!

This thug is in Montgomery County Lockup after he served a woman a knuckle up.

The Miami Valley Sports Bar & Grille in West Carrollton, Ohio was the scene of a brutal attack.

A woman who frequently visits the establishment was given a curbside salad with a toe jam served on the side. She was hurt so badly, family and friends didn't even recognized her.

West Carrollton Police and Montgomery County sheriff may consider this attempted murder.

The manager of Cheeks Gentleman's Club express regret for the situation. He said that the suspect who did this to her isn't much of a man. He said he knows the victim from his encounters at her job at a local gas station.

The suspect was a 6 foot 250 pound White guy who got out of a Chevy Malibu and accosted the victim. 

The suspect Aaron Miller, 33 was booked in the Montgomery County lockup on charges of felonious assault. He may face attempted murder charges based on how the victim's condition.

The victim was waiting on an Uber pickup when this event occurred. The video recordings may show the suspect giving the victim the knuckle up.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty. These charges alone could land this guy in the iron college for 10 to 20 years. On top of that, if he has history, he'll be blacklisted.

World News Today send our prayers to the victim of this senseless tragedy.

Ohio's Inept AG Wants To Be The Guv!

Ohio's Attorney General Mike DeWine confirms that he's in the running for the Republican nomination for the state's governor.

DeWine believes that he could win the state given the "oh so great" job of his boss John Kasich.

Kasich, the failed presidential candidate is currently the governor of the state. He's a conservative who pretends to be a moderate. He so far signed off controversial laws that go after unions and abortions. He's so far leading at the bottom in job creation.

DeWine is controversial. He held back evidence in the controversial shootings of Malissa Williams, Timothy Russell, John Crawford and Tamir Rice.

Timothy Russell picks up Malissa Williams from an area known for prostitution. The East Cleveland and Cleveland Police gave chase to them, They took off a broke down vehicle and it made a popping sound. The officers believed they were firing at them. They cornered them at a middle school and they let the bullets fly. Over 137 slugs hit the car and one officer jumped on the vehicle shooting into them. One of the officer Michael Belo was charged for the crime but managed to beat the case. He was fired out the cannon along with eight others. The family of Russell and Williams sued the cities of Cleveland and East Cleveland, the officers and Mike DeWine for withholding evidence.

John Crawford was in a Dayton area Walmart when he picked up a pellet gun. A man called 911 saying that Crawford was pointing the gun at people. The Beavercreek Police immediately came and stop Crawford. The officers claimed that they gave verbal warning and then they shot him. It turns out that in the video, Crawford was on the phone with the pellet gun lowered and the officer who fired upon him didn't give ample notice to drop. The officer Sean Williams is still in the freezer pending a federal probe on his routine. The Crawford family sued Beavercreek, the officer and DeWine for withholding the video.

Tamir Rice was in a Cleveland park playing with a pellet gun. He was minding his business when a man called 911 saying that there's a man in a park pointing a gun at people. The Cleveland Police immediately came and stopped Rice. The officers claimed that they gave verbal warning and then they shot him. It turns out that in the video, Rice was caught off guard by the officers. They pulled up right on him and within a few seconds he was shot in the stomach. Rice was pronounced dead the next day. The family claims that the officer Tim Loehmann was untrained and reckless. They sued the city of Cleveland, the officer, and DeWine for withholding evidence.

DeWine is a piece of shit. He won't prosecute incompetent police officers. He will continue to allow reckless actions to happen. And he wants Ohio Republicans to know that he's tough on crime.

Nope.

Right now he doesn't want to accept refugees from Syria. He sued the government over marriage. He sued the government over President Barack Obama's immigration and trans protection law. He also is pushing for Ohio to have voting rights restricted.

Even his role in the mass shooting in Waverly, Ohio is inept. The Rowden family was murdered in cold blood. There' were allegations of marijuana grow operation and a professional hit was put out on a handful of family members. DeWine can't even determine who's actually responsible for the callous murder of innocent human beings.

DeWine who has ties to the Dayton metro area was a state legislator, U.S. representative and U.S. senator. As a senator, DeWine was a yes man for Bush. He got his ass sent back to Ohio after taking a beating from Sherrod Brown, a congressman from Lorain, Ohio.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is being floated as a potential veep for either Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

The Club Was Popping And It Wasn't T.I.'s Performance!

Shooting at NYC club has T.I. on the defense.

The NYPD is investigating a deadly shooting at a concert featuring rapper Clifford "T.I." Harris.

T.I. was scheduled to performed onstage. During the show, someone popped off and it hit three. One of the victims was killed and two were critically injured.

A 34-year-old man was shot in the chest and a 33-year-old man was shot in the stomach.

Two people were shot in the leg -- a woman, 26, and a 30-year-old man who walked himself to a nearby hospital.

CNN has reached out to T.I.'s representatives for comment. He's is no longer at the venue, authorities said.

T.I. was also set to perform at a separate venue, the 1 OAK nightclub, later in the evening, but authorities have shut it down, according to law enforcement sources.

My Honest Take On The Uber Experience!

Being a driver for Uber is fun but it comes with a price.

For the last nine weeks, I've started driving for Uber. I wanted to participate in an experience that would give me an opportunity to make money and interact with people. At first, I loved the opportunity to meet interesting people, but now I am starting to find concern with it.

Uber is the people-friendly ride share service which allows "riders" to get picked up by "partners" willing to help them reach their destination. The flat rate, plus miles and time spent inside the vehicle calculates the fare. During a peak time, Uber advocates a surge rating. The surge rating makes "partners" earn a little extra on nights where the demand for riders is high and the need is great.

The riders uses their smartphone to activate the app. The app gives a description of the "partner" his vehicle and the average rating. The "partner" is called upon if the "rider" selects the option to arrange a pickup. The "partner" is then pinged by the app to accept the pickup. The "partner" has an approximate time to pickup the "rider". Once the "partner" arrives at the pickup, the "rider" enters the vehicle and the "partner" activates the fare.

Once the "partner" makes it to the final destination, the "partner" ends the trip. Once the trip is over, the "rider" will have an option to rate the "partner" if they enjoyed the experience or not. The "partner" can also rate the "rider" if the experience didn't live up to expectations as well.

I have covered over 400 trips in the nine weeks of being a partner with Uber. Out of them 400 trips, I can say that some of the experiences aren't as pleasant.

Uber and rival Lyft are beating the taxi companies in rates. Since Uber and Lyft came to Dayton, Ohio, it's quickly pickup steam around the University of Dayton, Sinclair Community College and Wright State University.

When I pickup the "riders", I offer them water, fruit snacks and crackers. I want to make them feel comfortable when they ride with me. I often ask them if they have a preferred route to their final destination.

I've picked up "riders" from the airport, the mall, the bars and restaurants. I've taken them home, to their jobs and their friends homes. I've also pickup riders who weren't the actual pickup.

I've picked up usually people who are intoxicated. I've picked up over 6 or more passengers in a five seated vehicle. I've taken people to other destinations that aren't the final stop. And I've picked up people from their destinations without them activating their app.

I've picked up people who talked inappropriately. Sometimes, I've said a few inappropriate things as well. I will admit this, I did have a "crush" on one of the "riders". All in the way of relating to the "riders".

But now, I am seeing the negatives of being an Uber driver. Only a few weeks ago, I picked up a rider who masturbated inside my vehicle. I picked up a bachelor's party and the groom ripped off my door handle. I picked up a group of women and one vomited inside the vehicle.

Uber is the ridesharing service.

Not to mention the wear and tear of your vehicle. You're driving your vehicle and it's putting a whole lot of miles on your car. The amount of fuel being placed in your car also adds up.

Even when you are on a pickup, you might find a law enforcement bothering you as you are doing your job.

Since Uber doesn't consider you an employee, you're responsible for the taxes. You're a small business and you have to file a 1099 on your IRS tax form. They petition for Uber to have all "partners" as employees instead of contractors.

Each of these experiences might end my time driving for Uber and eventually Lyft. But I am certain that my opportunities to improve will overcome the negative.

Uber's ratings are determined by how the experience was. By average a "partner" has to at least have a rating between 4.8 and 4.9. Only a few can pass the threshold of 4.95 to a perfect 5.

I am concerned that no matter how good I've done, the "riders" will rate me poor. It's almost discouraging. If you fall behind 4.6 in your ratings, you could have your account deactivated.

Many "partners" are starting to find some discouragement in the way Uber handles things.

I've read some of the articles from current and former Uber drivers and I am kind of on the fence of how I might continue driving. I know that nobody is perfect. But I am determined to do all that I can to be the best.

If I can't be the best, then there's no purpose in being an Uber driver.

Anyway, I want to get a rant off in my random musings.

Dropping The Bomb On "Stupidity"!

In order to pull off a dine-and-dash, woman calls in a fake bomb threat.

Destiny Watson wins the "You Can't Fix Stupid" award for calling in a fake robbery threat to get out of fast food bill. The Cincinnati area woman was at a Gold Star Chili eating her heart's content.

When she was given a bill, she say that she had to go to the restroom to find her credit card, "she will be back!" In the restroom she phones in 911. She said that the Gold Star Chili location had a robbery and there's a bomb inside.

It didn't take long before the police and fire department arrived. They questioned the workers asking them if there's any suspicious activity in the area. The worker said no. So as the woman exits the restroom, the law questions her.

Watson consents to a search of her purse and phone. She admits to make a bomb threat to skip a bill.

A Taste of Cincinnati, Gold Star Chili. 

Watson was booked in the Hamilton County lockup on charges of inducing panic, misuse of 911, and theft. She has a court date in the coming days.

Her dine-and-dash "bombed". The law said that Watson made the situation even more troubling seeing that the location in Mt. Healthy was actually robbed by three assailants. They ended up robbing customers and workers.

Watson is innocent until proven guilty and if found guilty she could face a year in the iron college and a hefty fine.

Of course, she might be banned for life from area Gold Star Chili locations.

50 Cent Admits He Has Half-a-Brain!

When 50 Cent came to Dayton to promote his Effin Vodka, he took a flight out of Cincinnati.

The rapper was at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport in Erlanger, Kentucky.

He shares some of his daily routine on social media and his fans love it.

The rapper whipped out a camera and started filming a worker. He decided to rim on the worker.

The rapper was dumping on a worker by accused him of being high. He said that airport worker Andrew Farrell looks like he's high and retarded. He publicly humiliated the worker on social media.

He was unaware that the worker was autistic.

The capo of The Unit now faces a national backlash from the junk food media for his childish behavior. He managed to get his vodka pulled off the shelves of liquor stores.

He also got tongue lashed by those in the entertainment community for being such an ass.

50 Cent was using his iPhone to mock a Cincinnati airport worker.

50 admits that he's an idiot and released a press statement telling the public he was sorry for acting a fool at the airport. He wrote the apology to Andrew saying it wasn't his intentions to insult a man doing his job.

Farrell said that 50's actions were ignorant and he wants the rapper to meet him at a center for autistic children. So far, no word on 50 making any other appearance since the controversy.

At the local Arrow Spirits and Wine, the owner decided that he's not going to be associated with the rapper's products after he posted that on social media. He thanked 50 for coming to Dayton to give autographs to the shoppers but he doesn't want that reputation to hang on his store.

So as you see above, a poll. I added a few new entities to this poll. After all, last poll clearly went to Tyga as being the most dumbest rapper.

Will 50 Cent steal the thunder from Tyga?

John Boehner: Ted Cruz Is A Miserable Son Of A Bitch! He's Lucifer In The Flesh!

Former weeper calls Ted Cruz "Lucifer".

The hit Fox series Lucifer is greenlighted for a Fall return. The series debuted in Winter and managed to fill the void that Minority Report failed at. Lucifer will follow Gotham on Mondays.

Over at Stanford University, former House Weeper John Boehner had no love for Ted Cruz and his struggling campaign.

On tape, the former speaker said that he would never support that "miserable son of a bitch". He said that he's pretty cool with Donald Trump. He said of his friend John Kasich, that he has no real reason to be in this race.

"I have Democrat friends and Republican friends," the former House speaker said during a frank on-stage discussion at Stanford University Wednesday. "I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."

Boehner clowning on Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina.

Boehner, who retired from Congress at the end of October, also let loose on the two other GOP candidates in the race.

Boehner called Cruz, "Lucifer in the flesh".

When asked about the comments Cruz and running mate Carly Fiorina said that Boehner is one of the reasons why government wasn't working. He's giving credence to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Boehner lives in West Chester, Ohio. He was the Congressman from the 8th Congressional district.

West Chester is in Butler County. That county went to Trump in a 2:1 ratio.

Boehner is no friend of Cruz. He blames Cruz for dragging Congress into the crapper.

The Definition Of Irony!

Ohio man loses his life to reckless motorist. This tragic incident is a moment of clarity.

Dayton Police and the Ohio State Highway Patrol are investigating a fatal incident that happened earlier this month. 27-year old Stacey Cooley, Sr. was killed by an alleged drunk driver.

This event happened on Cornell and Philadelphia Drives. The intersection is notorious for accidents.

During peak hours, many drivers have a lead foot and could be speeding down Philadelphia Drive at 50 mph or higher. There were numerous fatalities over on that stretch of road.

Residents want the speed limit on Philadelphia Drive lowered to 25 - 30 mph. Dayton mayor Nan Whaley is considering it in mind.

Cooley was killed by 22-year old Shenekia Allen. The woman may have been under the influence of alcohol when she struck Stacey's vehicle.

Stacey was on his way home when this event happened. He leaves behind a wife, daughter and son. He has a lot of brothers and sisters. His parents were devastated that their son was killed in a horrific accident.

He leaves behind many friends and family members. It's unfortunate that Stacey had an ugly legacy.

The junk food media has reported that Stacey, known as "Frame" has a history in the court system.

In 2014, he was being held on sex charges involving a minor. He was found guilty of sexaul battery and three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

He was on a sexual offender listing.

Cornell and Philadelphia Drive is one of the most dangerous intersections in Dayton, Ohio.

While Allen may face criminal charges for the accident. the incident is a grave reminder of the ironic fate of criminality.

Cooley's death is tragic. He was trying to rebuild his life and hopefully avoid the criminal past he once held. But the offender tag loomed over his head.

The concern trolls will make the situation about him and not the woman who drove the vehicle under the influence. They'll be saying that "sexual offenders" deserve to die.

Allen is innocent until proven guilty if charged with involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide. These charges could carry 15 to LIFE in the iron college.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Stacey Cooley. His young son and daughter will now have to live without a father. A father who would have had an opportunity to see his children grow up. A father would could have seen his children become success stories, wipe away by a reckless driver.

A Mass Shooting In Ohio! Who's Gonna Get The Blame?

Mass shooting in rural Ohio

The Associated Press is reporting that the Pike County Sheriff 's department is responding to a series of shootings in the village of Peebles, Ohio.

There is no word of the suspect being caught. There are reports that the causalities are high.

Apparently there were seven members of a family gunned down. There's no word of the suspect being caught. The schools and residential neighborhoods are on lockdown.

President Barack Obama, Ohio governor John Kasich, Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) will likely be notified of this shooting and will give out statements.

Kasich who is running for president will likely say that Congress shouldn't meddle with the gun rights of Americans. 

The junk food media will either pick up the story or ignore it. It has to be the right kind of shooting.

If it's a murder-suicide at a family estate, it will be local news. Let it be a school or a business, and the junk food media will have a field day with it.

If the terrorist is a White person, the conservatives will say the terrorist is a liberal or a member of the Democratic Party. If it was a Republican or a conservative, it will be deflected to concern trolling about Black on whatever crime. They will say that the terrorist race  or political views aren't the issue. They will find someway to say if the victims were armed, this tragedy would have been prevented.

If the terrorist was a Black person, Hispanic person or Muslim, we'll hear talk about the Islamic State, #BlackLivesMatter, immigrants, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Barack Obama. They will say that White people can't trust Blacks who have this resentment towards police. Conservatives will claim that Blacks are always screaming racism around and they hate "Whitey". 

Conservatives will say Muslims will never condemn violence caused by extremists. They will say that if the law was to profile mosques and refuse entry to refugees of war. They will attack the president for refusing to say "radical Islam" or some political divisive statement. 

Conservatives will say Mexicans are allowing immigrants into our country. They will say that if the suspect was an illegal, it would be the fault of Obama and his immigration policies. 

The blame game would be something that comes frequently in a mass shooting. Instead of blaming the shooter, often it's someone else's fault for the actions of the shooter.

There Was A Mass Shooting In Ohio. Who Deserves The Blame For This Attack?

Barack Obama

#BlackLivesMatter

Muslims

Liberals

Conservatives

NRA

The Junk Food Media

The Shooter

Do Riddles

World News Today send our condolences to the victims of this senseless tragedy. The Ohio State Highway Patrol, the FBI and Pike County Sheriff are investigating the incident. The nation is mourning with the village of Peebles.
