Colin Powell: I Rather Have Hillary Clinton In There!

Colin Powell endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Powell and Condoleezza Rice both former Secretaries of State under George W. Bush have publicly denounced Donald Trump's presidency. 

George W. Bush's former Secretary of State Colin Powell had endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008 and 2012.

He was roundly criticized by the likes of that old fart Rush Limbaugh for selling out principles.

Powell renounced the Republican Party. He warned the party to start making inroads with minorities and young voters. In 2013, autopsy, party leaders said that they can't be the party of White people.

The party ignored the warning. The party nominated Donald J. Trump for president. He's another old White and rich man. He said that old fart Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity and internet creeper Matt Drudge are too polarizing. The party is still afraid of them and the impact they could have in primaries.

He said it's time to move on past the Republican Party.

He's now an independent. He came out in favor of Hillary Clinton for president.

Powell who served in the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush administration back in the days said that Clinton is not the perfect candidate.

Clinton was notified of the endorsement while campaign in Florida.

Hacked emails from Wikileaks showed that Powell has strong disdain for Trump.

"Donald Trump is nuts. Everyone wants me to speak out, but I will pick the time and place for maximum effort like I did in 2008 and 2012. Right now, Trump is his own worst enemy."

Trump called former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice a bitch.

Powell is still a Republican at heart but he's totally done with the rabid base that give birth to Trump.

I'm still a Republican because I believe in a strong defense, because I believe in the entrepreneurial spirit that is so typical of the Republican Party of the past," said Powell.

By the way, it was revealed that Trump once called former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a "bitch" while at a charity event. He believes in his mind that Rice couldn't handle pressure when she was negotiating overseas.

Rice on her part said, "Can't wait until November 9!"

Rice called upon Trump to drop out the race. Trump is in this until the end.

Republicans Literally Make Mountains Out Of Bullshit!

Out the trash bin comes former vice president Dick Cheney. He and daughter Liz are pushing a book criticizing President Barack Obama's handling of the war in Iraq.

The former vice president and his lobbyist daughter are pimping out a book criticizing the Iranian deal. Again, pimping this notion that the world is evil and America must stop them.

The former vice president is by far the most hated in American history.

The Republicans often distance themselves from the Bush legacy. The failures of leadership mount through Dick Cheney's influence on George W. Bush. As the right hand man, Cheney will advice the president on where they should go if they were to engage in combat. Bush would lead us into two wars. One in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. Those wars cost numerous causalities. It became one of the most costliest wars to ever be on record.

George W. Bush enjoyed high job approval ratings during the September 11th tragedy and first years of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Also winning reelection with a steady economy was a plus. The ball was dropped during his second term. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq went south, his job approval went down. When Hurricane Katrina and Rita went down, the Bush legacy went down in flames. Then the economic crash occurred. That put the country in a recession.

This led to the Republicans being thrown out of Congress and Barack Obama becoming the president. When he became the president, the Republicans wasted no time trying to find fault with the new president.

They would immediately start this insurgency movement to undermine the progress the president.

The Republicans went into this narrative that Obama's not working, Obamacare is a disaster, Obama this and Obama that. That helped them win back Congress.

Now the Republicans control Congress and they're back to their old ways. Still acting inept and still trying to blame the president for their own failures. Their failures are causing our country to suffer.

Yet, it's Obama's fault.

Matter of fact, the bitching continues.

Cheney and his daughter wrote a book criticizing President Barack Obama's foreign policies.

The Ohio Republicans are mad that the President Barack Obama issued an executive order changing Mount McKinley to its tribal name Denali. The president travels to Alaska to address climate change and of course grant land to the oil companies. The mountain was named after William McKinley.

House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and John Kasich, the clown running for the White House all bitched about it. They believe the president is throwing William McKinley under the bus.

As I watched the junk food media AM shows and political agitators give Cheney and his daughter Liz exposure.

Climbing from underneath the rock, Cheney pimps this notion that the president is not willing to see engagement with dangerous regimes such as Iran. He also blames the president for the mandatory troop withdrawal from Iraq. The Islamic State has grown in power and Republicans are seething for another war engagement.

Their book is basically a critique of President Barack Obama's handling of Iraq and the rise of the Islamic State. Also added their criticism of the Iranian deal.

The former vice president claims the president doesn't believe in American exceptionalism.

This book Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America is released today and it's certainly a talked about book.

Also conservative agitators are willing to book him and Liz on their shows. They ask if they're surprised about the rise of Donald Trump and the fall of Jeb Bush.

Cheney without endorsing said that Trump is an example of the anger at Obama and Hillary Clinton.

So are you willing to buy the book?

Black Republicans: Obama Ain't Done Nothing For "YOU BLACK FOLK!"

Condescending Black Republicans bemoan about "us Black folk" who refuse to join the party that embraces racism. I mean we have the first Black president and all of sudden, we see more and more extremism coming from every element of society since President Barack Obama took oath in 2009.

Rest in peace, Nelson Mandela. You helped end apartheid

President Barack Obama addressed the nation about the loss of such a great leader.

Over and over again, the racist right would bemoan the Black community about how life has became so terrible since Barack Obama became president in 2009. They seem to have a selective memory when it comes to who does nothing for the Black community.

One breathe Black Republicans say that Blacks lives are terrible because of unemployment, "gubmint" assistance, drugs, out-of-wedlock children, and gun violence.

In the second breathe the Black Republicans say that racial profiling helps "us Black folk". They believe the gun control (for Whites) is an infringement of the Second Amendment rights. Those Black Republicans say that the "knockout game" was a creation of Obama and Trayvon Martin.

Black Republicans want "us Black folk" to bow down to the Republicans. They believe they're the only ones who could do better for the Black community.

I understand that the Republicans are so pissed that over 90% of the African American vote went strictly to Barack Obama during his 2008 and 2012 runs, respectively. They feel that its "racist" for Blacks to vote for the candidate who can appeal to their needs.

I mean those White Democrats who won the presidency (Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton) won over 90% of the Black vote. So what?

But those Black Republicans who grumble about their voices not being heard and "US PLANTATION NIGGERS" think of these guys as "HOUSE NIGGERS".

Of course, we give "you Black folk" attention. Don't you appear on CNN, Obama News and Loserville?

Don't you have the freedom of speech to [promote] your condescending rhetoric? How many times have you complained about how unemployment under Obama is way too high?

So high, I could see the water levels after the levees broke during Hurricane Katrina.

Don't you have the right to not support public schools because they indoctrinate children to be Obamabots?

The Black Republicans believe "slavery" exists in modern day society.

This week they have a member of the Republican National Committee post an "cringe-worthy" tweet based off the famous Civil Rights icon who refused to give up her seat.



Tell me in the last 70 years since we had 13 presidents, what have they've done for the Black community?

One president managed to integrate the military. One managed to create the New Deal, which helped the United States bounce out of a horrible depression. On top of that Blacks shifted in the 1940s to the Democrats because of this president's policies. I think that was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

One president's executive order forced the ending of segregation of government workers. I think that was Harry Truman.

One president ordered the Arkansas National Guard to help nine Black students go to Little Rock Central High School after the Supreme Court ordered desegregation of public schools. I think that was Dwight Eisenhower.

One president championed for the ending of Jim Crow in the South. He also maintain contact with that rabble rouser who would later become the voice of the Civil Rights Movement. He would champion for the integration of the public universities. One Black man had armed guards escort him to the University of Mississippi. He didn't make it through a full term to get the Civil Rights Act passed. I think that was John F. Kennedy.

I can tell you during the 1960s since Kennedy was killed, his successor Lyndon B. Johnson was there to finish up the work. During the "long hot summer", he advocated for passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. He nominated Thurgood Marshall as the first Black Supreme Court justice.

I can say that Richard Nixon wasn't much of supporter of Civil Rights. Gerald Ford didn't get much time in office. Jimmy Carter did much for the Black community and it cost him the election. Despite high gas prices and Iran holding Americans hostage, Carter did something to help Black folks.

I can remember that growing up in the Ronald Reagan era where Blacks were getting lockup for drugs.

George Bush and son George W. really screwed up during their time in the White House. From the LA Riots to Hurricane Katrina, there's not much successes from these two. I mean they've put a lot of Black folk in government positions, but they weren't there for the whole ordeal. I mean Black Republican Colin Powell went and endorse Barack Obama twice.

I can say that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are the only two presidents who managed to succeed despite a Republican opposition that spends its course of time complaining about how Blacks lives not being better.

Nelson Mandela Tributes Continue! (Yeah, The Racist Comments Too)!

The world mourns the passing of Nelson Mandela.

The world lost a great leader. We just learned that former South African president and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Nelson Mandela passed away at the age 95.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (Xhosa pronunciation: [xoˈliːɬaɬa manˈdeːla]) (July 18, 1918 – December 5, 2013) was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

He was the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative, multiracial election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalized racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically an African nationalist and democratic socialist, he served as the President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1991 to 1997.

Internationally, Mandela was the Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999.

A Xhosa born to the Thembu royal family, Mandela attended the Fort Hare University and the University of Witwatersrand, where he studied law. Living in Johannesburg, he became involved in anti-colonial politics, joining the ANC and becoming a founding member of its Youth League. After the Afrikaner nationalists of the National Party came to power in 1948 and began implementing the policy of apartheid, he rose to prominence in the ANC's 1952 Defiance Campaign, was elected President of the Transvaal ANC Branch and oversaw the 1955 Congress of the People.

Working as a lawyer, he was repeatedly arrested for seditious activities and, with the ANC leadership, was prosecuted in the Treason Trial from 1956 to 1961 but was found not guilty. Although initially committed to non-violent protest, in association with the South African Communist Party he co-founded the militant Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) in 1961, leading a bombing campaign against government targets. In 1962 he was arrested, convicted of sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the government, and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Rivonia Trial.

Mandela served 27 years in prison, first on Robben Island, and later in Pollsmoor Prison and Victor Verster Prison.

An international campaign lobbied for his release, which was granted in 1990 amid escalating civil strife. Becoming ANC President, Mandela published his autobiography and led negotiations with President F.W. de Klerk to abolish apartheid and establish multiracial elections in 1994, in which he led the ANC to victory. He was elected President and formed a Government of National Unity in an attempt to defuse ethnic tensions. As President, he promulgated a new constitution and initiated the Truth and Reconciliation

Commission to investigate past human rights abuses. Continuing the former government's liberal economic policy, his administration introduced measures to encourage land reform, combat poverty, and expand healthcare services.

Internationally, he acted as mediator between Libya and the United Kingdom in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial, and oversaw military intervention in Lesotho. He declined to run for a second term, and was succeeded by his deputy, Thabo Mbeki. Mandela subsequently became an elder statesman, focusing on charitable work in combating poverty and HIV/AIDS through the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

Mandela was a controversial figure for much of his life. The racist right denounced him as a terrorist and communist sympathizer.

He nevertheless gained international acclaim for his anti-colonial and anti-apartheid stance, having received more than 250 honors, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Soviet Order of Lenin. He is held in deep respect within South Africa, where he is often referred to by his Xhosa clan name, Madiba, or as Tata ("Father"); he is often described as "the father of the nation".

Mandela died following a long illness at his home in Johannesburg.

Leaders around the world expressed their condolences in the wake of the announcement, reminding the world of the strength and the compassion that characterized South Africa's remarkable leader.

South African President Jacob Zuma announced the death of Mandela. "Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father," Zuma said, according to CNN. "He is now resting, he is now at peace," Zuma added.

Speaking from the White House, U.S. President Barack Obama said "Mandela has achieved more than could be expected of any man, he lives for the ages." Obama added:

A great leader.

We've lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with. He no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the ages... His commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set an example that all humanity should aspire to.

British Prime Minister David Cameron was one of the first to express his grief on Twitter, calling Mandela "a hero of our time."

In the wake of his death, the world is reminded of the incredible impact Nelson Mandela had, not only on South Africa but in countries far from his own. The anti-apartheid icon was a champion for peace and equality, spreading a message of hope and reciprocity all over the world.

From his historic inaugural address, when he became the country's first black president, to his acceptance of the Congressional Gold Medal, Nelson Mandela's words will resonate through the ages carrying on his incredible legacy.

Of course, expect the racist right ignore it. Already Loserville, and the conservative agitators are pretty much saying they're glad that "NIGGER" is gone.

Some of the most vilest comments also came from the social networks of the racist right websites.

Thanks Bob Cesa of The Daily Banter.

Colin Powell: I'm Worried That My Fellow [Republicans] Are Too Extreme!

Former Bush secretary of state Colin Powell disgusted with Republicans continued obstruction.

Former Bush adviser is really considering his options. He may drop the Republican label and become an independent. Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State under George W. Bush went to CBS to talk about Civil Rights in America. He had an opportunity to talk about the Republican infighting, the George Zimmerman verdict and the 50th Anniversary of The March On Washington.

In 2008 and 2012, the former secretary of state endorsed Barack Obama for president pissing off the racist right. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and his allies think that Powell's endorsement of Obama is an example of "Blacks voting solely on race and not issues"! Perennial loser Mitt Romney's camp thought that Powell was already a "Republican In Name Only."

King Hippo slammed the endorsement as an example of "us Black folk" willing to support Obama no matter what he does because "he's protected by his race" and "we Black folk" already assume that the Republicans and their conservative allies are racist anyway.

That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall and others of the racist right outlined an alleged affair that Powell had with a Romanian politician. The cyber hacker pushed the alleged affair to the conservative agitators.

Former Vice President Dick Chaney calls Powell a turncoat and refuse to acknowledge him as a friend.

They're currently feuding with one another.

Powell appears on Face The Nation along with civil rights leader and politico Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia).

Powell has been critical of the divisive voting laws that Republican governors signed on. They've signed on voter identification laws that requires residents to provide state identification to vote. It's a means to undermine "voter fraud".

Again voter fraud makes up less than 5% of the issues facing America right now. What many critics call it is another ploy to undermine the Democratic Party's core supporters Black, Hispanic and young voters.

See you can have a firearm permit as proof of identification. But a college identification isn't valid. If you don't drive and you have no means of obtaining an identification (but your registered to vote), you can't vote.

The United States Justice Department is suing the state of Texas right now for this type of nonsense.

North Carolina is one of the many states that passed intrusive voter's identification laws. It's being challenged by civil right groups. Powell openly criticized the Republican state governor Pat McCrory over this.

Colin Powell warned that Republicans are chasing for a needle in a haystack. He said that the Trayvon Martin situation and these intrusive laws like voter identification are going to be the rally call for Black Americans.

Also as a father, Powell elaborates on the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman situation.

“I think that it will be seen as a questionable judgment on the part of the judicial system down there, but I don’t know if it will have staying power,” Powell said. “These cases come along, and they blaze across the midnight sky and then after a period of time, they’re forgotten.”

Powell also said that President Barack Obama was right to speak about the case, and the experience of African Americans in general, and encouraged more leaders to do so.

“I’d like to see [Obama] be more passionate about race questions, and I think that was an accurate characterization of some of the things that we were exposed to,” Powell said.

Bob Schieffer asks Powell about Syria, Egypt, the president's reaction to the Zimmerman verdict, Chris Lane murder, the Republican infighting, the voter's ID laws and the March On Washington.

A Piece Of The Mud Pie...

Black conservatives are screaming their freedoms to be outright bigots are being violated! 

Do you want a piece of the mud pie?

Black conservatives are so upset they're being called "Oreos", "Tokens", "sell-outs" and other vile comments from the Black leaders and liberal activists.

The Black conservatives flock over to "Loserville" to have a sitdown with "That Guy Who Helped Barack Obama Win". They're screaming that their "freedom of speech" is violated by those evil Black leaders and liberal agitators on MSNBC.

That guy who helped Barack Obama win!

Deneen Borelli, Jesse Lee Peterson, Dr. Benjamin Carson, David Webb, and Star Parker are sorrowing over Black America's entrapment on the "Democrat Plantation".

Nevermind, the intrusiveness and overt racism that spins in the Republican Party.

Black conservatives believe the real enemy of the American racism is the Democratic Party and its standard-bearer, President Barack Obama.

So this little sit down with that guy was controversial to say at least. While that guy stacked the deck with Black conservatives, over at Obama News, liberal agitator Rachel Maddow was talking about the president's attempt to sway a stubborn Congress into passing gun control measures (which are getting the filibuster from the Republican leader Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky).

While Maddow is controversial, she maintains her show to real issues.

The Obama News network has been growing in ratings recently, and that guy is concerned. He would waste most of his show trashing Obama News because he knows his show is tanking in the ratings. There was a segment of that guy's program in which he devoted time to Chris Matthews. Matthews was saying the Republican Party built its outreach on playing "racial politics" to win over White voters. He wanted those Black conservatives to trash the network.

And one thing that guy forgets to mention, that perennial loser Mitt Romney won the White male voter overwhelmingly.

The Republican Party outreach to minorities is a disaster in the making. Lining up Black conservatives isn't the way to swaying a Black voter. The party has to reach out with issues that matter to Black voters.

Austerity cuts to safety nets and intrusive laws are not favored among Black voters.

Unemployment is at an all time high among Black voters. But many including myself feel there's a possibility of institutional racism in hiring Black workers and home buying.

Many Americans are concerned with the cost of living. While food prices, gas prices, and energy rates go up, many are looking for safety nets. The Republican Party wants to eliminate safety nets in case of a person losing a home to foreclosure or natural disaster. The party wants to cut welfare, unemployment, farm aid, and  food stamps. Things that affect the middle class and the poor.

These Black conservatives claim the Democratic Party keeps Black Americans poor. That right there is a condescending talking point. If they realize that for over 154 years, Blacks were undermined since they've allowed segregation among the races.

Although it's likely going to get even more browner in the future, Black Americans are the only race that's undermined by those in the junk food media.

You notice that guy never invited Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell to the Loserville forum.

These issues aren't mentioned by those in the mud pie!

Colin Powell: My Republican Party Is Doomed For Failure!

Colin Powell states the Republican Party has a ''dark vein of intolerance"! He's right!

The former Secretary of State Colin Powell makes the case for a swift change in the Republican Party. He is frustrated with Republican leaders tolerating the extremism within its ranks.

Powell nailed the former Alaskan governor and conservative agitator for the president being a "shuck and jivin" leader comment.

Powell also nailed John Sununu about President Barack Obama being "lazy".

Powell's dire warnings will fall on deaf ears with the notion of race, climate change, gun control, immigration reform and healthcare. Republicans already signal that they're prepared to fight to the "bitter end" on the debt ceiling, austerity cuts, the president's cabinet nominees and picks for federal court. They're already plotting a rebound in the 2014 Midterm elections.

Powell state that our country needs to work together in order to solve problems.

On Meet The Press, Powell talks to David Gregory about the situation with the Republican Party.

Powell believes that Republicans stare down on minorities with such disdain. Yeah, he's right!

This will ring the bells of the conservative agitating media. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Matt Drudge will layout the groundwork for the rest of the conservative extremist media!
