Transgender performer The Lady Chablis passed away.
A famous transgendered performer who had a role in the movie Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil has passed away in Savannah, Georgia today.
The Lady Chablis, one of the few transgender actress of the time passed away at the age of 59 from complications of pneumonia.
Originally born Benjamin Edward Knox in Quincy, Florida on March 11, 1957, and never finished high school. She took the name Chablis as a teenager and started to perform in local clubs as a performer.
Chablis was a transgender woman but was also a drag performer. Chablis frequently performed at her "home" nightclub of Club One in Savannah. Chablis also traveled the US performing at various venues and special events, such as gay pride gatherings. She also appeared on radio shows.
The Lady Chablis was featured in the closing segment of the Savannah episode of Bizarre Foods America on The Travel Channel. She joined host Andrew Zimmern at several Savannah restaurants including Elizabeth on 37th. The Lady Chablis in 2012 was interviewed by "MAMA" Savannah Georgia on the local television and internet talk show "MAMA Knows Best Talk Show" season 2 episode 1 and on April 19, 2013 Chablis performed for the grand opening of Mama's Cabaret in Lewiston Maine with "MAMA" Savannah Georgia.
Flip-Flop: John McCain and Marco Rubio won their Republican primaries.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) survived an insurgency attack. The two failed presidential candidates of 2008 and 2016, respectively have beaten their Republican primary challenger.
Conservatives were mounting a challenge against them.
The most notable is Kelli Ward. The insurgent was getting backing from major conservative groups. It wasn't enough. Donald Trump's last minute endorsement of McCain kind of killed the chances of Ward knocking him out.
In the beginning, Trump said that he loves the veterans, not the ones who were caught. The comment was aimed at McCain. McCain called Trump's supporters a bunch of lunatics. He said failed presidential candidates Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) were wacko birds.
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. Defeated by Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) in Democratic primary.
McCain who is dubbed himself as a "maverick" even said that Ward was more of a challenge than J.D. Hayworth, a former lawmaker turned conservative agitator.
Ward slipped by calling McCain old. You know Republicans are old, White and out of touch. A whipper snapper like Ward should have been more careful with attacking an elderly man.
McCain is a Vietnam veteran.
Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) was going to run for the seat but dropped out at the last minute given that Rubio was being coached into running against one of the two ethically challenged Democrats.
Rubio, the least productive lawmaker in the Senate claimed that his consideration into the race was motivated by the Orlando massacre. But actually it's the political expediency of his fellow Republicans leaders that drove him back into the race.
Mind you that Little Marco said he would retire from the senate if he failed to win the presidency. He changed his mind when Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) saw Florida being the firewall between a possible Clinton administration.
Former Democratic chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is forgiven by the voters. She beats Tim Conva, a law professor who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the failed Democratic presidential candidate.
Trump's support for Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) came just in time. The House Speaker handily beats his rival in a landslide.
Also the Democrats in Florida seem to like the former DNC chairwoman. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) survived an insurgent attack from the progressive Tim Conva.
Conva who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was hoping to upset an embattled Wasserman Schultz. She was facing harsh criticism over the handling of the DNC's debate schedule and perceived favoritism towards Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Wasserman Schultz resigned from the DNC after Wikileaks illegally obtained the emails of members.
Some of the emails were criticizing Sanders and his supporters for being sore losers and nuisances.
Rubio's challenger will be Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL). Murphy defeated scandal plagued Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL). Grayson and his own wife were defeated in the Democratic primary. Dena Grayson, a medical doctor and activist was defeated in the seat Alan Grayson gave up to run for the senate.
Grayson once again heads back to Florida a defeated man. Now he will be labeled perennial.
By the way, former Texas governor and perennial loser Rick Perry will be on Dancing With The Stars along with disgraced Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte.
Man wigs out on bath salts and murders a family. The law didn't put this one down like they did Rudy Eugene.
BE WARNED THE PHOTOS SHOWN ARE DISTURBING!
Rudy Eugene became famous for being the Florida zombie. He was shot by police after he wigged out on marijuana (laced with bath salts) and mauled a homeless man of his face. The man luckily survived but his face was destroyed by Eugene. The junk food media released the horrific pictures of Eugene stripped naked and on top of the man eating his face and raping him.
He was killed soon as the police arrived.
Now it seems like he has some competition. A Florida man is under medical watch after he stabbed a couple to death and then he eat one of the victim's face.
John and Michelle (Mishcon) Stevens were brutally murdered by a White thug.
John Stevens III and Michelle Mishcon were brutally attacked by this thug. This thug who lived a privileged life in West Palm Beach. He was the son of a dentist who operated on celebrities teeth.
Austin Harrouff, who gave a fake name, allegedly stabbed the couple as they were sitting outside their home watching the stars.
This thug is a student at Florida State University and is a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.
Rudy Eugene, the Miami Zombie
This thug was the all-American boy who got good grades and whatever.....I don't care what this thug done. He's a pampered White thug who murdered an innocent couple for no damn reason.
He is facing murder charges, aggravated assault, breaking and entering, and possession of an illegal substance. He is right now under police and medical watch in "grave condition".
He wasn't shot like Rudy Eugene. This thug survived a police encounter.
The law tried to tase him and sic the K-9 officer on him. None of that worked. So they piled on him. And as the law tried to restrain him, he was making beastily sounds and trying to bite off his skin.
This designer drug, flakka (not the rapper Waka Flocka Flame) is a bath salt that is banned in the United States.
Somehow it's sneaking its way into the states. Some videos that appeared on social media shows people acting like zombies and beasts when they use this shit.
And the question is raised again! Why did the law shoot Rudy Eugene but spared Austin Harrouf?
They both committed horrendous acts.
I want to once again warn you that the image of the victim of Eugene's attack is shown before and after. Take discretion in this photo.
SEE THE AFTERMATH.
Black Lives Matter activist and New York Daily News writer Shaun White pointed out how the law sees Black and White murder suspects.
Gainesville, Florida police are searching for the woman who pulled her pistol on a man after a heated road rage incident in Chevron gas station.
The horrific video caught on video shows a petite woman exit a black truck brandishing a gun.
The victim says that a man exited the truck first, and attack him. When the victim got the best of this thug, his girl comes out and the thug wrestled the gun from her. He orders her back into the truck and they quickly bolted.
As the victim was trying to take a video recording on his cell phone, the thug exited the video and snatched it and broke it.
A group of thugs tried to pistol whip a man after a road rage incident.
When the law saw the video, they arrested Jacob Sylvester, a 30 year old White thug. He won't name the girl who waved the gun because he doesn't want to "snitch" on his girl.
But they will eventually grab her and the other two shortly.
Will the woman say that she was "standing her ground".
With gun violence being on the rise, one would think that this event shows that even in minor altercations, some people would rather exercise their right to bear arms instead of using the law to settle these matters.
But since this is Florida, it's obviously another embarrassing story.
The father of the Orlando mass shooter was at a Clinton rally.
Smells of desperation. The conservative outrage is once again in full stream over an unintentional moment in the campaign of Hillary Clinton. As passionate as these issues are, Republicans and their conservative allies will advocate distractions instead of solutions to the problem.
To blame others for the acts of one is usual of the agitators in the junk food media. They will find reason to fault the families of the victim or suspect.
This is the usual stuff that happens when Republicans are panicking and are losing hope in their chances at winning the U.S. presidency.
The Orlando massacre happened in June 2016. This was the deadliest mass shooting in American history. The terrorist who claimed that he was inspired by the Islamic State went into the Pulse Nightclub and lit the place up.
Over 49 people and the shooter were killed. The law and feds were stressed over how a man with a seemingly normal life became inspired to kill. He was an American born man who was a Muslim.
His attack on an Orlando nightclub hasn't moved the Congress to pass gun control laws. A few weeks later would be Dallas, Baton Rouge and numerous other mass shootings that haven't made the news.
We have become numb to mass shootings. We have become more cynical of Americans because of race, religion, sexuality, gender, nationality, economic and social class. We have become more outraged over things that happen in the news. And I believe that the news is driven by ratings and not partisan agendas.
Now the latest conservative outrage, the father of the terrorist attends a Clinton rally.
Cameras captured Seddique Mateen standing in the crowd. He later told a reporter for WPTV, a Palm Beach-based NBC affiliate, that he wanted to attend the rally as a member of the public and a Clinton supporter.
"Why should they be surprised? I love the United States, and I've been living here a long time," Mateen said.
The Clinton campaign said that the rally was a 3,000-person, open-door event for the public.
As Clinton speaks, he was spotted and photographed. Now the guilt by association soon follows Mateen and Clinton.
Mateen is calling for gun control and mental health screenings. His son was mentally disturbed and he said that he had no ties to the Islamic State.
Clinton met with victims' family and friends during a visit to Orlando in July.
In her speech Monday night, Clinton expressed support for the survivors of the attack and the loved ones of the 49 people who were killed.
"We can't ever let that kind of hatred and violence break the spirit and break the soul of any place in America," she said.
Now if you're devoted to smearing the Gold Star families like the Khans, complain about Seddique Mateen attending the Clinton rally, complain about Sybrina Fulton speaking at the DNC, having Christina Leinonen being called a "crisis actor" is typical of a Donald Trump and Mike Pence supporter.
So if you're Islamophobic, numb to gun violence in America, devoted blame others for the acts of one, listen to old fart Rush Limbaugh, watch "Softball Hannity" or read from internet creeper Matt Drudge, you're a Trump and Pence supporter.
The self-proclaimed Hispanic White guy goes into a redneck bar to brag about getting away with murder. He got served at the bar after he got into a heated confrontation with a restaurant worker.
Alright! This guy needs to go away. He is getting attention yet again for his actions since the fatal encounter. He is the most hated man in the country. He would go into the record book as being as annoying as his old buddy "Softball Hannity".
To this day, this asshole claimed that Trayvon Martin was the person who instigated the fatal encounter in Sanford, Florida. He was in a restaurant in the area allegedly bragging about the encounter with the teen.
Some guy named "Eddie" served this asshole a five knuckle roll before fleeing from the scene.
The asshole didn't have his Glock on him at the time. He called the law saying that these biker dudes were going to kill him, bring help fast.
The owner of the establishment said that he was there, but the incident was blown way out of proportion. Ed Winters, the owner of Gators Riverside bar.
"Everywhere this guy goes he causes controversy," Winters to The Orlando Sentinel. "You'd think he'd keep a low profile."
The bar is a redneck establishment with the losing side of the Civil War inside.
The asshole started a conversation with a biker who had racist tattoos on his skin. The asshole compliment him on his neat tats.
The biker said to the asshole, you're not a part of this establishment get the fuck out of here.
I guess the asshole was saying, "Ah, guys. C'mon, I am the guy who put the slug in Trayvon Martin!"
Looks like doing good for the company was a bad thing. Three Walmart employees are charged in the death of a man who was allegedly shoplifting out of the Lakeland store.
Three Florida Walmart workers are in the freezer pending a cannon firing. They were caught up in a manslaughter case involving an apprehension of an alleged shoplifter.
The Lakeland store was the scene of a tragedy. Three workers were trying to stop a man from stealing nearly $400 worth of DVDs from the Walmart. After he dropped the merchandise, he took off.
The three Nathan Higgins, 35, Crucelis Nunez, 23, and Ruandall Tomko, 58 were taken to county lockup.
They caused grave injury to the victim, Kenneth Edger Wisham, 64. Yeah, the victim had a rap sheet for doing some minor shit, but for all that, he didn't deserve to die.
Kenneth Wisham may have been a thief but he didn't harm anyone. He didn't deserve to die.
In February, Wisham went into the store at dark time to grab and dash. He was stopped by store detective Tomiko and service manager Nunez for a receipt. When Wisham said that he didn't have one on him, he stopped his cart at the door and took off. In the heat of the moment, worker Higgins took off with the two to stop him.
As Wisham was trying to flee, he tripped and they piled on him. I guess he was having trouble breathing after they put him in a restraining lock.
He was soon having trouble trying to breathe.
After the meds took him to the hospital for treatment, he would die of his injuries.
Authorities determined after an investigation that Wisham died of mechanical asphyxiation due to restraint. An autopsy found he had 15 broken ribs sustained during the incident.
Nunez recalled the victim saying, “Let me up!” and “I can’t breathe!” according to an arrest report.
The law along with Walmart provided the tape and the evidence to bring these three to trial.
Walmart often times fears the negative perception of these events offered sympathy to the victim's family and said until the court room matter is resolved, these three will have no place within any Walmart ever.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Kenneth Wisham.
These three are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
She couldn't predict her own death. Miss Cleo aka Youree Harris passed away!
"Call me now!"
The words of the famous words of TV psychic Miss Cleo. Well the junk food media broke the news that the actress behind the controversial Psychic Readers & Friends Network passed away today.
Youree Harris, the self proclaimed psychic who swamped the networks with commercials during the late 1990s until mid 2000s.
She passed away from complications with cancer. Harris also went by Ree Perris, Youree Cleomili, Youree Dell Harris, Rae Dell Harris and Lady Cleo. Although she had the Jamaican accent, Harris was originally from Los Angeles.
She grew up in Seattle, and trained in voice acting and landed a few roles on television during the 1980s.
Her big break came when she put on the Carribbean head scarf and started winging it with the voice of ya shamen! Those commercials were annoying as hell. They were everywhere.
They were pulled after the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice ended the charade. Prosecutors took a hold of her birth certificate to show that Harris was born in Los Angeles and not Jamaica.
She would be the subject of a "deceptive advertising, billing and collections practice". The company sponsoring the Psychic Readers & Friends was indicted. Access Resource Services was fined $5 million in damages.
.
When the feds ended the Miss Cleo ads, Harris was struggling for a job. She wasn't being paid the millions of dollars the company intaked. She took a nosedive in her career.
The only thing besides playing Miss Cleo, Harris lent her voice to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. She played Auntie Poulet, a Haitian voodoo shaman and drug lord.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Miss Cleo (aka Youree Harris).
Fort Myers club was the scene of a mass shooting. One month past the Orlando massacre.
What's trending on social media is the mass shooting in Fort Myers, Florida. The ClubBlu nightclub was the scene of a fatal shooting in which two people were killed and 17 others were injured.
This was allegedly a "teen night" at the club and the terrorist decided to get the burner after a dispute.
As expected, Governor Rick Scott and President Barack Obama were notified of this tragedy. They will express condolences and call for swift justice to those involved in this senseless act of violence.
The Congress will be too busy taking vacations or attending political conventions. They will ignore the gun violence issue. They don't see gun violence as the number one threat in the United States.
The junk food media says this incident wasn't terrorism.
Define terrorism!
I mean there's a man with a high powered firearm who decides to shoot many individuals without any care of their lives. A man who was motivated by some incident that could have been solved by leaving the venue or deescalating it by finding other outlets. That's a terrorist in my book.
Mass shootings aren't defined as terrorism. I say that's bullshit.
Bullshit for the fact that the Orlando, Florida shooting was labeled an act of terrorism. Why?
Cause the suspect is a Muslim.
What about the other mass shootings this year?
Find someone else to blame.
Obviously if the shooter is Black, he's a thug. If the shooter is Hispanic, he's an illegal. If the shooter is a Muslim, he's a terrorist. If the shooter is White, he's a liberal Democrat. All these shooters are Barack Obama's fault.
Assuming that the shooter could be Black, I expect the concern trolls to go through their usual word vomit about how #BlackLivesMatter is ignoring Black on whatever crime.
Assuming that the concern trolls will have their "I told you so" moment when it comes to some protesters complaining about police officers.
Some will use that silly narrative about the "good guy with a gun".
It was not immediately clear what triggered the violence, but Fort Myers police Capt. Jim Mulligan said the shooting was not an act of terrorism. Police detained three people and said the area around Club Blu had been deemed safe, Mulligan said.
The two teens killed were 14-year-old Sean Archilles and 18-year-old Ste'Fan Strawder, police said. Archilles lived about a mile from the nightclub, said his father, Jean Archilles. Archilles said his son loved to play football and basketball.
The Los Angeles Times report that the club is in a strip mall that includes a daycare center and is across the street from a large apartment complex. Officers had the area taped off as crime scene technicians scoured the strip mall parking lot for clues.
State records online show the alcohol license for Club Blu was revoked June 7. The records from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation say the license was revoked because of an incident that occurred a year ago, but there are no additional details available. The same records also show that a complaint was filed in 2014 for “criminal activity” and that the club was given an official notice.
The violence at Club Blu erupted about 12:30 a.m. Monday, Mulligan said. There were two active crime scenes, police said. Several hours later a street in the area remained closed as police investigated.
Why send my condolences to the victims?
No amount of prayers will bring the victims of gun violence back!
The suspects will be charged with capital murder. They are innocent until proven guilty.
Charles Kinsey is alive today. Counting his blessings that he wasn't killed by the law. Charles is an unarmed man who was a caretaker for an autistic man. His client ran away and he was looking for him.
Kinsey works at a mental health center, was trying to bring back a 23-year-old man who had wandered outside carrying a toy truck when police arrived, having received a 911 call about a man with a gun, the Miami Herald reports. In video taken just before Kinsey, who is black, was shot in the leg, he can be seen lying down and trying to persuade the heavyset autistic man, who is still playing with the truck, to do the same. "He has a toy truck," Kinsey yells to police. "I am a behavior tech at the group home. That's all this is."
Kinsey, 47 was shot in the leg with an assault rifle. The moment doesn't appear on video released by his lawyer, though one of the people filming can be heard wondering why they "shot the black boy instead of the fat boy." "When it hit me, I'm like, 'I still got my hands in the air, and I said, 'No, I just got shot!' And I'm saying, 'Sir, why did you shoot me?' and his words to me, he said, 'I don’t know,'" Kinsey tells WSVN. He says the worst part is that after he was shot, police handcuffed him and then left him bleeding in the street for what he estimates was 20 minutes. NBC Miami reports that the officer involved has been placed on administrative duty while police investigate. Kinsey was hospitalized for the gunshot wound, but he could be released as soon as Thursday.
Well according to the law, there was a man with a gun in the area. So they obviously run towards the danger. What they see what two men and they ordered them to have their hands up.
Well the client was incapable of listening because he's severely autistic. But the caretaker was on the ground belly up with his hands up.
And yet he was shot by the police. When asked why he was shot, the law said he don't know.
Now the name #CharlesKinsey is trending and the supporters of Black Lives Matter are calling out Fox News, Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke, Jr. and Rudy Giuliani for not mentioning this in their feud against the group.
The North Miami Police is under fire for this one.
The officer who shot Kinsey is in the freezer pending a state and federal investigation.
Okay, how long will it take for conservatives to find some reason to claim this was a justified shooting?
When will conservative justify the shooting by trolling for incriminating evidence on social media?
When will we hear agitators say the officer needs the benefit of the doubt?
No comments from the AM agitators yet Obviously they don't have anything that incriminates Charles.
When will they blame President Barack Obama for this?
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.
Sanford mayor Jeff Triplett was on his way out when two men who jacked him for his whip.
Triplett was standing outside in the early morning hours when three men approached him. They pointed a gun at him and ordered him to give up his car keys, phone and wallet.
They ended up taking advantage of the nice Mercedes, the mayor was riding in.
The law quickly got a hold of 18 year old Jermaine Home and Demarcus Paige, a 17 year old teen.
The third suspect hasn't been caught by the law but it will likely be soon.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty. They will face aggravated robbery, a charge that could land these men in the iron college for LIFE. They also could be facing 15 year bid for having weapons in the pursuit of a violent crime.
Now this happened in the city where George Zimmerman managed to get away with murder.
Zimmerman was following Trayvon Martin in a residential neighborhood when Zimmerman got out of his vehicle. Zimmerman claimed that Trayvon ground and pounded him. He said it was "self defense on the rules of Stand Your Ground". Zimmerman shot Trayvon in the chest killing him instantly.
Zimmerman getting off sparked the Black Lives Matter movement.
To this day, Zimmerman has no apologies. He continues to terrorize Florida.
So here's a poll for you!
Sanford mayor was car-jacked. Suspects were caught. Who takes the blame?
So I am guessing either you're blaming President Barack Obama, Trayvon Martin, #BlackLivesMatter or liberals for the actions of these individuals.
It was an evenly divided court that decided on the use of executive orders for presidents. This will affect presidents after President Barack Obama. The 4-4 decision to send the executive order on work permits to immigrants back to the lower court was considered a blow to Obama on his immigration plan.
The liberal and conservative wing kicked the decision back to the lower court which said that it was unconstitutional.
The order would have secured 4 million immigrants living here in the United States.
The Wall Street Journal added that the court's outcome in the immigration case doesn't require the administration to begin deportations of the affected immigrants—all of whom had significant ties to the U.S., such as children who are U.S. citizens or lawful residents. But it does halt the government's plan to normalize their presence by granting them authorization to work.
Speaking from the White House, Obama expressed frustration at the nation's continuing paralysis on immigration policy: "I believe that this country deserves an immigration policy that reflects the goodness of the American people."
The president also complained about the continuation of the open seat at the Supreme Court. Citing the increasingly frequent tie votes, he said that Republicans were extending the court's paralysis by refusing to consider his nominee for the open seat, U.S. Circuit Judge Merrick Garland.
"Republicans in Congress currently are willfully preventing the Supreme Court from being fully staffed and functioning as our founders intended," Obama said.
Republicans have said the next president should decide who should fill the Supreme Court opening.
Obama announced the immigration policies in November 2014, describing them as the furthest he believed he could go using executive authority to normalize the status of illegal immigrants after a Senate-passed immigration overhaul died in the House.
The current members of the Supreme Court. Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Anthony Kennedy, Chief Justice John Roberts, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. Without the ninth justice, it's going to be a quagmire of decisions that could gravely affect the nation. Antonin Scalia passed away in February.
The plan sought to assist more than four million people who already are considered the lowest priority for deportation. Authorities, lacking resources to remove most of the more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., focus on newly arrived individuals and those with criminal records.
By formally suspending the threat of deportation, the program would give affected immigrants the opportunity to obtain work authorization and other prerequisites for participating in society, such as a Social Security number and a driver's license.
Obama demanded that the voters decide on what the future. He said should they vote, should they continue to allow the federal courts and agencies tied up, mass shootings, gridlock in Congress, partisan gamesmanship, and Donald Trump. He urges that the future lies in the Dreamers who believe that they can change the direction of Congress and the presidency.
It's a tall order given the Republicans gerrymandered areas making it harder to win the House.
Republicans and their conservative allies have a megaphone of agitators and simpletons willing to distort the truth.
The dim witted Marco Rubio decides at last minute to run for reelection for the U.S. Senate. He is a failed presidential candidate who lost his own state of Florida.
The only lawmaker with the worst voting record ever has decided he'll run for reelection for the senate seat he said he'll give up. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has decided to run for reelection.
He and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) spent a lot of time running for president. They couldn't win the nomination so now they want to focus on helping the Republicans continue to hold the Senate.
They want to be rewarded for failure.
Little Marco was the permanent nickname given to the failed presidential candidate. It was given by the controversial billionaire Donald Trump.
Trump labeled Rubio that name after the Republicans plotted to have a contested convention and urged Rubio to start laying into him. When Rubio mocked Trump for having little hands (and a little package), Trump decided to play the words and hit him where it hurts.
Rubio had a meltdown. New Jersey governor Chris Christie, another failed presidential candidate said that Rubio has the same robotic stump speeches and has little accomplishment as a senator.
Rubio released his statement.
In politics, admitting you’ve changed your mind is not something most people like to do. But here it goes.
I have decided to seek reelection to the United States Senate.
I understand my opponents will try to use this decision to score political points against me. Have at it. Because I have never claimed to be perfect, or to have all the answers.
Still, the people of Florida deserve to know why I’ve changed my mind.
I have often said that the U.S. Senate can be a frustrating place. And it’s true. After witnessing the gridlock that grips Washington, I think just about every American – Democrat or Republican – would agree.
But the Senate is also a place from which you can perform great services for the people you have the honor of representing. And I am proud of the work we have done to help thousands of Floridians over the last six years.
The Senate can also be a place from which great policy advances can be made. I am proud that we have done that too.
But as we begin the next chapter in the history of our nation, there’s another role for the Senate that could end up being its most important in the years to come: The Constitutional power to act as a check and balance on the excesses of a president.
Control of the Senate may very well come down to the race in Florida. That means the future of the Supreme Court will be determined by the Florida Senate seat. It means the future of the disastrous Iran nuclear deal will be determined by the Florida Senate seat. It means the direction of our country’s fiscal and economic policies will be determined by this Senate seat. The stakes for our nation could not be higher.
There’s also something else. No matter who is elected president, there is reason for worry.
With Hillary Clinton, we would have four more years of the same failed economic policies that have left us with a stagnant economy. We would have four more years of the same failed foreign policy that has allowed radical Islam to spread, and terrorists to be released from Guantanamo. And even worse, if Clinton were president and her party took control of Congress, she would govern without Congressional oversight or limit. It would be a repeat of the early years of the current administration, when we got Obamacare, the failed stimulus and a record debt.
The prospect of a Trump presidency is also worrisome to me. It is no secret that I have significant disagreements with Donald Trump. His positions on many key issues are still unknown. And some of his statements, especially about women and minorities, I find not just offensive but unacceptable. If he is elected, we will need Senators willing to encourage him in the right direction, and if necessary, stand up to him. I’ve proven a willingness to do both.
In the days ahead, America will continue to face serious challenges – the possibility of terrorist attacks at home and abroad, a declining military, anemic economic growth and low wages, assaults on our rights and values, outdated health care, education and pension programs in desperate need of reform – that face backward or uncertain responses from either Clinton or Trump.
No matter who wins the White House, we need a strong group of principled, persuasive leaders in Congress who will not only advance limited government, free enterprise and a strong national defense, but also explain to Americans how it makes life better for them and their families. I ultimately changed my mind about this race because on that front, and in that fight, I believe I have something to offer.
In the end, this was a decision made not in Washington, but back home in West Miami over Father’s Day weekend, with my wife and our four children.
There were two paths before us. There was one path that was more personally comfortable and probably smarter politically. But after much thought and prayer, together we chose to continue with public service; to continue down the path that provides the opportunity to make a positive difference at this critical and uncertain time for our nation.
In the end, there was simply too much at stake for any other choice.
The opponents will use his little accomplishments as a senator against him. And to make things more interesting, will the constituents support him now that he's changed his mind?
After he was trounced in the Florida primary, the odds of him winning reelection in the U.S. senate race dimmed to 49%.
In a match up against Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), Rubio would win 48% - 45%.
In a match up against Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL), Rubio would lose 49% -48%.
Republicans hope Florida would give Rubio a second chance. Hopefully the Democrats takes the seat and send Little Marco back to West Miami with his wife, children and the mistress he's allegedly had an affair with.
While the conservatives are bitching about the scourge of "radical Islam", they turn a blind eye to the "radical Christians" who promote the same rhetoric.
Religious extremism is a threat to the United States.
Unfortunately, GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
We all mourned the tragedy in Orlando. This terrorist murdered 49 people before the law put him down. As the world mourn the lost of innocence, this asshole pastor from California was excited.
Roger Jimenez was making national news when he said Orlando is a little safer tonight knowing that 50 pedophiles were killed. He only wished "the tragedy [would have taken out] that more of them.
He said that he wasn't one bit upset over this. He wished this terrorist would have finished everyone off.
These comments were condemned by the world and the public went to protest his church.
He laughed at them and said that the junk food media has given him new attendees.
The backlash gotten so much attention, the owner of the property said that Jimenez can practice his religion in his garage.
The property management and owner of the building in which Verity Baptist Church and its Pastor Roger Jimenez preside have decided not to renew the church's lease, and have asked church officials to consider moving.
His attacks on the LGBT and Muslim community are disgusting. In the wake of a tragedy, the concern trolls often find blame with those who aren't the shooter.
This mass shooting has sparked issues on gun violence, hate crimes against Muslims and the LGBT, and terrorism (domestic and international).
This bigot is free to express his bile around the pughs. Unfortunately he's not going to do it at his original location. He's outta of there!
Good riddance.
We mourn with the families of the Orlando tragedy. Our friends in the LGBT and Muslim community have our support.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) laid into the Republicans yesterday on their inept actions in the wake of the terrorist attack in Orlando in which this cat laid into 50 people in aneed act of hate against the LGBT community.
Unlike the worthless filibusters from failed presidential candidates Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) this one really gets the ball rolling on gun control. This issue has been ignored with prayers and silence. The distraction from Republicans and their conservative agitating allies is the tired "Obama is taking your guns excuse" to rile up gun buyers.
President Barack Obama has said that these mass shootings have gotten out of hand. Why would we continue to have those with mental issues and possible terrorists obtain these powerful weapons?
The calls for a semi automatic weapons ban will likely go nowhere with this inept Congress.
Republicans and Donald Trump are looking forward to distancing themselves from gun control. They already made the focus on "radical Islam" and the president being "weak" on terrorism because he doesn't say it.
Republicans are really unpopular right now. With Trump as their leader, the party is going to likely suffer in the polls. Trump's rhetoric isn't helpful at all.
He doubles down on calling the president a terrorist sympathizer.
Conservative attack the president for calling for an assault weapons ban, saying Islam isn't the enemy and telling Americans that the LGBT community is loved.
If the good guy had a gun while the bad guy was shooting is a pathetic argument. It's likely the gunman or the law would shoot you knowing that you have a gun. It doesn't matter to the law if you a concealed carry, they see you as a threat. Also you could miss and shoot a hostage or an innocent victim. You could be charged with a crime.
World News Today continues to cover the Orlando massacre.
Gawker feuds with Hulk Hogan and libertarian billionaire.
Gawker vows to continue on.
Gawker is in an all-out war with Hulk Hogan, the former wrestler who was fired out the cannon last year after he made inflammatory comments about Black people. With no money, he decides to team up with the co-founder of PayPal to take Gawker to court.
The Florida court found Gawker guilty of privacy violations and was ordered to pay up.
Gawker doesn't make that much money. So Gawker goes belly up. Gawker CEO Nick Denton said the company would appeal the verdict. Three months after the verdict, Gawker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and put itself up for sale
The wrestler successfully sued the media titian for $207 million after his sex tape of him was released to the public.
Hulkster fixing to body slam Gawker.
The wrestler was also going after Gawker when his racist rants were released to the public.
Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal, has spent about $10 million to help the wrestler Hulk Hogan sue Gawker. Thiel was publicly outed by Gawker after they did an expose about leaders in the anti-gay movement being secretly gay.
Gawker is going to fight against Thiel. The billionaire is being called-out for being a hypocrite.
Thiel is a Libertarian and supports the Republican Party. He does support the freedom of the press but just not Gawker. Since Gawker put his business out there, he decides to make it a personal mission to take them down.
Orlando deals with another tragedy. A toddler got snatched by an alligator.
The wife of the terrorist who killed 50 at Pulse is under federal watch for not tipping the law.
Many witnesses say that the terrorist was either gay or bisexual. The terrorist was on social media trying to find a date. Some of the club goers said that the terrorist was a regular at gay nightclubs.
Four of the deceased worked at Universal Studios theme park.
Orlando is the hub of magic. The magic is diminishing.
The city of Orlando and Walt Disney World both express sorrow for the family of a 2 year old boy who was snatched up by an alligator.
The boy was wading near the Seven Seas Lagoon when a 7 foot alligator took him under.
Trappers says that alligators see food regardless of what it is.
Disney posted "NO SWIMMING SIGNS" near the lagoon. There were no alligator warning signs.
The father was in the water trying to grab the alligator but the animal is way too powerful to drop the boy.
Once the alligator grab something, its likely to decapitated the prey.
Florida alligators are dangerous in populated areas. People go near these animals. Alligators are fast on land and deadly in the water.
A few weeks ago in Lakeland, trappers nabbed an alligator spotted with a human torso. The victim was not identified at the time. It has become a bigger problem now that an invasive Nile crocodile population affects the Florida alligator population.
Orange County sheriff Jerry Demings has to now deal with another horrific tragedy.
I happened to notice that the junk food media isn't looking into the criminal record of the father or mother. Is there going to be criminal charges for the family for allowing their child go into the water when it said not to.
Remember the boy at the Cincinnati Zoo being grabbed by a gorilla. The junk food media was attacking the mother for allowing her son get into the enclosure and father (who wasn't there) for having minor criminal history.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of the toddler.
We continue to cover the Orlando massacre and the death of Christina Grimmie.
According to online trolls, grieving mother Christine Leinonen is a "crisis actor". Her son Christopher could be one of the victims of this mass shooting. Chris and his boyfriend were shot at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Facebook activated the "I AM SAFE" option yet again. They have ignored the other tragedies in the world.
Facebook, the social media titan is the gateway for trolls and racists to act out in the wake of an event.
Facebook, Twitter, Disqus, and Reddit are giving credence to anti-Muslim, anti-LGBT and anti-Obama rhetoric.
Ignorance is a part of America. You can't do nothing to stop it. In the court of public opinion, you fixated on one thing. Blaming someone other than the shooter.
It's unfortunate that the agitators are too stupid to notice or they just don't give a fuck about it.
We can't bring back the dead. And there's no acting in the wake of a horrific mass shooting. This act of terrorism already sparks the political blame game. Conservatives show "concern" for the victims.
Conservatives will have a "told you so moment". The terrorist is a Muslim. He targeted gays. The junk food media and liberal agitators vilified conservatives who were anti-gay. The event happened in liberal Orlando. The excuse of a good guy with a gun will be floated once again by those in the AM agitator realm.
Now I've been hearing word that some in the Alex Jones universe is calling the most deadliest shooting in history fake.
They believe the grieving families and the victims are crisis actors.
Damn, we're living in dire straits. This country is going down the drain if we elected bigots like Donald Trump to the White House.
These folks are supporters of the global conspiracy movement. These folks believe 9/11 is an inside job. They believe that the Sandy Hook victims and family members were all actors engaged in a federal plot to confiscate firearms.
The Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando sparked feverish debate over terrorism and gun control.
No amount of prayers and calls of saying "radical Islam" could bring back those lost in this tragedy.
World News Today once again covers this horrific tragedy and the death of Christina Grimmie.
Clearly the president had enough of addressing mass shootings under his watch. He believes that Congress is willing to have these tragedies continue because of the inept actions to pass gun control. Republicans and some Democrats are willing to sell their souls to the NRA and gun lobbyists.
If I say "radical Islam", would it make me more vigilant against a terrorist?
The folks over at Fox News are once again polarizing the debate over terrorism.
The junk food media is once again jumping to conclusions over how an American Muslim man (mind you) managed to pull off one of the most deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. This act of terrorism once again sparks feverish debate over terrorism, gun violence and the need to blame others for the acts of the shooter.
The death count is at 50. It will likely rise and it will be coverage wall-to-wall by the agitators in the junk food media.
Again, the lawmakers offer their prayers to the victims. They offer no resolution to stopping the constant gun violence in the United States. All they are going to do is wait until the junk food media chases the next shiny coin.
Oh, there's the kookspiracy nuts who believe the victims and their families are crisis actors.
Orlando's mayor Buddy Dyer and police chief John Mina access the casualties.
Cause once the cameras are gone, what's left?
LET'S GET RIGHT TO THE POINT! GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. TERRORISM IS NOT SOLELY MUSLIM. ANYONE WITH A FIREARM CAN KILL MANY INDIVIDUALS. IT'S NOT OFTEN THE WHITE GUY, THE BLACK GUY, THE BROWN GUY OR THE RELIGIOUS FANATIC. WHEN THE AGITATORS IN THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA START ACCUSING OTHERS FOR THE ACTIONS OF THE GUNMAN, IT DISTRACTS THE MESSAGE FOR SOLIDARITY. EVERYONE IS FEELING SORROW FOR THE DEATHS OF THOSE IN ORLANDO.
Pain is real.
NO ONE OTHER THAN THE HATE TAKES PRIDE IN THE DEATHS OF INNOCENT LIVES. WHEN WILL IT END? WE HAVEN'T CHANGED SINCE SANDY HOOK. WE HAVEN'T CHANGED SINCE SAN BERNARDINO. WE HAVEN'T CHANGED TODAY! WE WON'T CHANGE TOMORROW!
This tragedy hasn't stop the notion of hypotheticals. As the facts are pouring in, the junk food media starts to peak into the terrorist and his background. The FBI and Florida authorities are spearheading an investigation into how such a tragedy has occurred.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) address the junk food media.
And as usual, the finger pointing of blame once again takes flight.
The family of this terrorist will likely get death threats. The anti-gay group Westboro Baptist Church will be there in protest. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) and The Council of American Islamic Relations is asking the public to not succumb to the fears of terrorism. They urge the public to say something if they notice patterns that aren't normal.
As expected, conservatives, Republican lawmakers and Donald Trump have already spoken the divisive rhetoric. They have claim that "Islamic Extremism" and "radical Islam" is more of a threat to the United States than the daily occurence of mass shootings. I just got off watching Fox News agitators saying the president "refusing" to say "radical Islam".
Again, what the fuck is saying radical Islam going to do?
It's not going to bring back the lives lost in this senseless tragedy.
The SWAT crashed the wall of the bar.
It's just going to make the Islamic State, al Qaeda and other groups more inspired to recruit people to their cause. Because if you're depressed, having feeling of rejection, taunted by bullies and spurned by a job or relationship: You're a ticking time bomb.
Mass shootings happen every freaking month. It's unfortunate that this one makes the news. All you need are the ingredients of inciting fear and phobias.
THE NICE GUY + DEEPLY HELD RELIGIOUS BELIEFS + TIES TO ORGANIZATIONS OR INSPIRATION BY EVENTS + SOFT TARGETS (I.E. GAY NIGHT CLUB) + ACCESS TO FIREARMS (AR 15) + NAME RECOGNITION (SUICIDE NOTE/WRITTEN MOTIVES) = JUNK FOOD MEDIA COVERAGE.
The father said that the terrorist was angry over men kissing in public. He was upset over gay marriage and men having public display of affection. He also made threats to his co-workers.
He also had express support for an American born man who became a suicide bomber in Syria.
Omar Meteen was under the federal watch. He express support for the Islamic State, a group that many in the world see as a global terrorist organization. He called the law telling them "I'm gonna leave a message!" He said that he pledges support to the Islamic State. I'm guessing so he can get name recognition for his callous act.
Ron Harper, FBI head for Central Florida with police chief John Mina and Orange County sheriff Jerry Demings (behind Harper) are doing a presser.
They are by far the most thirstiest organization. The United States and its allies have tried to stop them, but they're getting stronger.
He left his name in the history books. The junk food media will forever note that Meteen as the most deadliest shooter in American history. And he won't be the last.
His terroristic act caused the deaths of many.
It's unfortunate that our living and breathing will never cease to amaze me. The court of public opinion will never die. With phobias coming out in the open, Donald Trump may use this tragedy as an excuse to promote his bigoted causes.
Republicans claim they're more stronger on terrorism.
A callous act of violence.
They only muscle Republicans flex in the fight against terrorism is their tongues. They are tongue tied with divisive rhetoric and racism. Instead of trying to stop gun violence, they openly encourage more guns in the streets. Republicans rather take away the Second Amendment from Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims.
The right to bear arms was legal for this terrorist. If the 51 Republicans and 4 Democrats would have taken the time to support the Toomey-Manchin bill, things would have been done.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) had tried to pass a stricter background check law and it was voted down by most Republicans and four Democrats (one being minority leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)).
FBI foils copycat from carrying out terrorist attack.
Then Republican lawmakers want to profile Muslims, #BlackLivesMatter and immigrants. They want to build border walls and fences through Mexico and even Canada.
They want to use the military to engage in war with the Islamic State. They would spend millions of dollars and the lives of those willing to serve for a winless war.
President Barack Obama has constantly pushed for stronger gun control measures. It's often ignored by the rhetoric of Republicans saying "now it's not the time to polarize" nonsense.
The president and Vice President Joe Biden have canceled their plans for the time being.
President Barack Obama was expecting to campaign with Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
James Howell was arrested in Los Angeles today. A potential act of terrorism was averted. The Indiana man was plotting to attack the LA Pride parade. The man was apprehended after being tipped by the law on his motives. The FBI and Los Angeles County sheriff are looking into if this terrorist has ties to the Islamic State.
Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick is under fire for posting on social media his thoughts on the shooting. He's got involved in the transgender bathroom controversy by saying that Texas doesn't need the government money and called for independence from the tyrant Obama.
Here's the Republican presumptive nominee on social media.
What has happened in Orlando is just the beginning. Our leadership is weak and ineffective. I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough
Trump's divisive rhetoric isn't productive. It's basically licking his chop knowing that he has the advantage to use this against Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama. After all, not saying "radical Islam" is grounds for Obama to resign in disgrace.
Some of the victims and survivors have spoken to the junk food media to express sorrow.
It's not weakness to cry! Our friends in the LGBT and the Muslim community are grieving.
We don't know the names of the victims. We don't know if they were Black, White, Hispanic, Latino, woman, straight, gay, transgender or Muslim.
What we know is that the victims were many and it's tragic. World News Today send our condolences to the families of the victims lost in this horrible tragedy. Also send our condolences to the family of Christina Grimmie.
The entertainer was gunned down in Orlando after signing autographs at a concert. This event happened a day before this.
The terrorist Kevin James Loibl killed himself after being cornered by the law.
