Donald J. Trump, the fuhrer of the United States issued an executive order banning travelers and immigrants from seven majority Muslim nations. Many considered this a Muslim ban.
The executive order attracted major controversy. Many travelers and business executives from the banned nations were turned away. People who wanted to see their families in the United States were denied entry. People with green cards and residency visas were stuck at the gate.
It was two weeks since the Trumpster signed off the executive order. It brought massive protests against the order. They asked the federal courts to put the brakes on it.
It seems like the Trumpster got a major setback to his executive order. A federal appeals court on Thursday declined the Trumpster's request to restore the ban on refugees and travel by immigrants from the Muslim majority countries.
Rejecting arguments, that the government would be "irreparably harmed" if the judicial system reviewed by the Trumpster ban, which he premised on his authority over national security matters, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit determined unanimously that the judiciary has a proper role in safeguarding people's rights.
The fuhrer signals that he wants this to head to the Supreme Court.
SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!
The ban is going against everything the United States stands for. And for the fuhrer and the Republican Party, it's about security. Who's security are we willing to sacrifice for the government?
Mexico, Australia and now Yemen. Three countries the fuhrer blundered.
With the executive order to ban citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries traveling into the United States has caught so much backlash, the CEOs of Disney and Uber decided to take a knee after a massive backlash came forth.
Stephen Bannon is the top political adviser to the fuhrer. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) straight up called him a "White nationalist". Bannon is getting seating in the National Security briefings much to the dismay of many former and current intelligence officials. Bannon is the former president of the controversial Breitbart News. That outfit is notorious for pandering to White extremism. A gay white extremist named Milo Yiannopoulos is now the top head of the website.
Now a botched raid in Yemen falls on the feet of the fuhrer. But guess who he, the conservative agitators and Sean "Softball" Hannity tried to pin the failed attack on?
You guessed it: Barack Obama, the former president of the United States.
Conservatives have longed blamed Obama for everything. Now they're back to their old tricks again.
We first start with top Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway going to MSNBC to justify the ban against Muslims. On Hardball, Conway was being interviewed by Chris Matthews. He would ask her about how this executive order affect Trump's legacy. Conway, a master of spin claimed that the ban was similar to Obama's. She said that two Iraqi nationals would commit the Bowling Green Massacre.
This massacre would have happened if it actually existed.
Republicans had to do some damage control. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was on the phone with the fuhrer and it got tense. The fuhrer hung up on him when he demanded the Australians to not send refugees to the United States. The fuhrer and his allies have denied the conversation went bad especially the hang up part. Trump dismissed this as "fake news". Trump claims that Obama's deal with Australia when it came to refugees is pretty much a dumb deal.
Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) had to actually reach out to the Australian ambassador for the United States to smooth over the tension.
The Yemen offense led to an American military operative for the Navy SEALS to lose his life. It led to many civilians being killed in the botched raid. Now Yemeni militants from al Qaeda and the Islamic State vow revenge against the U.S. for the offense.
Wondering when the Republicans are going to call for relentless investigations into the matter. Who's going to take the blame for the botched operation?
They've given Obama and Hillary Clinton such contempt.
The U.S.-Mexican border isn't a straight line. It passes through private properties. If the fuhrer Donald Trump holds firm on building the wall, it will cause a trade backlash. Will the U.S. compensate the Mexican residents who have to lose their property for the construction?
The world's beacon of liberty, hope and opportunity....for the White man!
Fuhrer Donald J. Trump quickly signed off two executive orders mandating the building of the Great Wall of America and blocking refugees seeking asylum in the United States.
During his campaign, Trump said that he will build a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. He said that the Mexican government will pay for the wall.
Trump plans on signing the executive order when he visits the Department of Homeland Security.
The fuhrer wants to kick out the immigrants and require Mexico to pay for the building of a border wall that will cut through properties.
Also Trump is proposing a ban on Syrian and Afghanistan refugees. He wants to ban Muslims from entering the United States. He wants to ban them indefinitely. He proposes to suspend all refugee admissions and capping the intake at 50,000.
Terrorist groups are hoping that the U.S. hardline stance towards Muslims will encourages attacks.
It's only been officially five days since he's been in charge.
Mexico refuses to pay for a border wall and urges the U.S. to reconsider its decision.
The Middle East and many other nations condemn American intolerance towards Islam.
Republicans want to sever ties with the United Nations.
White extremists are die hard supporters of the Republican Party. The Republicans and their supporters are starting to show teeth when it comes to critics of our brutal treatment of other nations.
Now they're targeting an organization that When the United States was abstained from the United Nation's condemnation of Israel's continuation of the settlements in East Jerusalem disrupting peace talks.
Now a lawmaker is trying to reintroduce a bill that would allow the fuhrer sever ties with the 192 other member states.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) is leading this through Congress. This bigot is trying to cut aid to foreign nations and do "extreme vetting" of individuals who seek asylum in the United States.
It is known as the "American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017."
Republican lawmaker pushes for a departing the United Nations. This is old cracker Mike Rogers, Republican congressman from Alabama.
The bill would repeal the "United Nations Participation Act of 1945," which was entered into after World War Two.
The new bill would eliminate any U.S. commitment to disaster relief or humanitarian aid to U.N. members.
The U.S. would also cease any peace-keeping operations in cooperation with the U.N.
Pathetic. The Republican Party is the party of extremism\and you idiots allowed it to happen by electing this asshole Donald J. Trump as the fuhrer of the United States.
President Barack Obama is not going to kiss a foreign leader's ass. The fuhrer Donald J. Trump will toss Benjamin Netanyahu's salad.
Yesterday, I was tired. I couldn't make the cut on this posting until today. But I wanted to let the readers know that I am all for peace in the Middle East. But I am so tired of having to address the issues going on between these factions. Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are often mentioned by the junk food media.
Oftentimes the United States always comes to the aid of poor nuclear powered and military strong Israel at the expense of the Palestinians and the Muslim world. The terrorists believe that military forces like the U.S. and Israel are committing genocide against the Muslim world. Although I refuse to believe this, it's starting to look like this everyday we hear about casualties who aren't armed with rocket launchers.
I am getting tired of hearing the rhetoric from this foreign jackass named Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu is a right wing leader who pushes for settlement building in the East Jerusalem.
He also pushes for war against Iran and many other nations that don't support the "Jewish" state.
Secretary of State John Kerry had to respond to the accusations from Netanyahu that President Barack Obama deliberately allowed the United Nations to condemn Israel from building settlements on Palestine's territory.
Kerry delivered some hard truths. And as expected Republicans pretend to be outraged over the comments and vow to spend your taxpayer dollars to protect the 51st State.
When the fuhrer comes to power he might pick a nominee who is willing to drive us into another war with the Middle East.
Your honest opinion on Israel. What is your opinion of the country?
Obama isn't going to be talked down by Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.
Fuck Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Republicans, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin and the idiots who voted for these people.
This terrorist was an 18 year old who used a butcher knife and his car as a weapon. He used it on the Ohio State University students who weren't aware.
I place the blame of this attack on the feet of Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Rob Portman, and John Kasich. They refuse to support mental health screenings for troubled teens. They believe that firearms in the classroom could stop a threat.
Again, I normally blame the suspect for the attack. But since political correctness is off the table, I will blame the Republican Party for the actions of extremists. They relish in this stuff and place the blame on the feet of Muslims, African Americans, immigrants, and progressives.
Well it's about time to blame the Republicans, the NRA and the self-serving "heroes" for this.
They don't get it.
So we'll keep the pressure on them until they get it.
The officer (right) was the one who bucked the terrorist. The junk food media pixeled the body when he dropped.
And why is it that the law can quickly put down a man of color! I never seen a cop put down a White terrorist. I mean what happened to the "drop your weapon" demand?
Was the terrorist lunging at the cop?
I am all for the cops stopping the threat, but how many people died when White terrorists shoot up schools and businesses before they end their own lives. No cops ever shot the shooters of Columbine, Sandy Hook and Umpqua Community College.
In Columbus, Ohio, the city police aided by the FBI are determining how a man managed to use his vehicle as a weapon and then pulls out a butcher knife and started stabbing. President Barack Obama, Ohio governor John Kasich and dictator in waiting were notified of the attack.
11 people were injured in this attack and of course the junk food media have already labeled this "radical Islam". The divisive phrase once again happens when a terrorist who is a practicing Muslim commits an attack on America or Western Europe.
The terrorist named Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an 18 year old man went to social media to say that he's had enough of the bullshit. So before he went into attack mode, he watched a couple videos from Anwar al-Awlaki, the American born cleric who had ties to al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula.
al-Awlaki was killed in 2011. But his legacy as well as Osama bin Laden and Adam Gadahn still lives on. They have been killed by U.S. forces. But since social media is a gateway to extremism, this terrorist found comfort with the rhetoric of the dead.
Ohio State University students are rattled by a madman's attack on the campus.
The Somali born man lived in Columbus. He was frustrated with American influence in the Muslim world.
"America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that," said the terrorist before he set it off.
The last posting from him was "Forgive and forget. Love."
The terrorist was the "good guy". The terrorist has no criminal history. He has no ties to Black Lives Matter or any terrorist group. He was attending Columbus State Community College for a few years before he graduated with his associate's degree. He took an opportunity to head to Ohio State to pursue education there. He may have been triggered by alleged discrimination. He escaped the Somali war. He sough asylum in the United States. He lived in Dallas before settling in Columbus.
He talked to the Ohio State University newspaper The Lantern about his experience.
"If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don't know what they're going to think, what's going to happen."
This attack happened at 10am and it was quickly defused by a campus cop who shot the terrorist on sight. The officer, Alan Horujko was placed in the freezer pending the outcome of the investigation.
Horujko was a member of OSU Police for two years.
Of course, the reactionary would say its the works of the Islamic State. The Sunni based terrorist group that has spooked many here in the United States and became a fodder for the incoming dictator.
The terrorist group called for lone wolf attacks. Some people are inspired by the call to action.
The incoming dictator promises a Muslim ban and "extreme vetting" of people coming from nations that have possible links to terrorism.
Three dangerous terrorists are off the streets. They wanted to attack a Kansas town because it has immigrants and Muslims.
Federal prosecutors plan to announce charges related to a planned attack on the Somali immigrant community in Kansas, the AP reports. A law enforcement official said Friday that federal prosecutors in Wichita, Kansas, are announcing the arrests of three men in connection with the plot. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity. Acting US Attorney Tom Beal and FBI Special Agent Eric Jackson have scheduled a news conference late Friday in Wichita. The Justice Department's National Security Division created a new position a year ago to help coordinate investigations into violent homegrown extremism, like the one that resulted in the three arrests.
Countless people showed up to listen to Garden City Police Michael Utz explain the investigation about the planned attack.
A translator helped Somali community members address their concerns, but they were assured there is no longer any reason to be scared.
"I didn't sleep very well, but today when I saw the police and heard the police, all the people in the community coming here, I was feeling very, very happy," said Frah Farah, a community member. "I will sleep very well tonight."
Garden City Police say community members can help the community safe by reporting any suspicious activity.
Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall says Curtis Allen, 49, Gavin Wright, 51, and Patrick Stein were all charged with domestic terrorism.
Beall said the three were planning to bomb an apartment complex and mosque in Garden City occupied by a Muslim community of about 120 Somali refugees.
Beall said the men planned to carry out the attack on Nov. 9, the day after Election Day.
He said the men stockpiled a large cache of firearms, and ammunition.
Beall said the men planned to park vehicles full of explosives at all four corners of the Garden City apartment complex. The men said they wanted to "wake people up".
Beall said the men wrote a manifesto, which they wanted published after the bombing.
According to an affidavit, the were a part of a group called the Kansas Security Force and the Crusaders.
"These are militia groups whose members support and espouse sovereign citizen, anti-government, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant extremist beliefs," read the affidavit.
Beall said the men's arrest is a part of an eight month long investigation.
Eyewitness News first learned about the investigation when Liberal police and the FBI shutdown multiple streets in town on Tuesday.
All three men are currently in the Sedgwick County jail on one count of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction.
If convicted, all three could face life in prison.
The Garden City Mayor and Police Chief issued the following statements Friday evening:
"Our community is forever grateful for the protection provided to us every day, but especially today in learning of the thwarted attack on our community. I'm shocked, but at the same time extremely proud of and grateful for the efforts of local, state, and federal law enforcement. Today should also serve as a reminder that vigilance should be a common practice by all citizens. 'See something, say something' is a cause we should champion each day even in a rural community like Garden City. I would encourage anyone that sees something suspicious to call 911."
Mayor Chris Law
"The GCPD was aware of the investigation, and has cooperated with the FBI since the onset. We have been assured that all individuals involved are in custody, and that the safety of the community was ensured throughout the investigation. All inquiries about the investigation, arrest, and prosecution are referred to the US Attorney's Office and the FBI."
Chief Michael Utz
The growing tension within the Donald Trump campaign has conservatives screaming that the election is "rigged". His rhetoric has inspired extremism.
President Barack Obama address CNN's Jake Tapper in a town hall with the military.
Now the families of the 9/11 victims could sue the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for damages.
This decision came at the whims of Congress and they were pushing it through without thinking about the repercussions. Now this law could backfire. Many other countries that had been hurt by the United States would sue for damages.
The president first veto ever to be overridden by the Congress in the nearly 8 years of his presidency.
President Barack Obama done a town hall on CNN this week. He had this sit down with Jake Tapper on Wednesday. He was not too happy about the Congress overriding his veto of the 9/11 Saudi Bill.
The Congress overwhelmingly overridden the veto in a bipartisan vote.
"It's an example of why sometimes you have to do what's hard. And, frankly, I wish Congress here had done what's hard," said the president.
"If you're perceived as voting against 9/11 families right before an election, not surprisingly, that's a hard vote for people to take. But it would have been the right thing to do... And it was, you know, basically a 'political vote'."
The president cited his defense team. He said that Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter's concerns as a reason to why he vetoed the bill.
The president said that Saudi Arabia could retaliate against the United States.
The president also addressed the issues in the United States from police brutality, Black Lives Matter and the phrase "radical Islam". He praised Colin Kaepernick for standing up for his beliefs in the face of great scrutiny.
Obama also blasted Congress for pushing bills at the final hour and then heading home for vacations.
Congress passed a stop gap measure that funds the government until December. The Congress also passed Zika funding and a proposals to helping the city of Flint. The Flint water crisis was left off the table and it forced Democrats to filibuster the bill in the senate. The Democrats managed to get some of the funding for Flint into the bill.
The Congress now has to figure out what could happen if a member of the Armed Forces commit an act of war against innocent victims.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) the Majority Whip of the Senate sponsored this bill and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY, Majority Leader) supported it. He managed to get the Democrats onboard. The only member of Congress to reject this was Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), the outgoing minority leader of the senate.
Again, the suspect is innocent until proven guilty. He will likely face state and federal charges since this happened in New York City. He will face a possibility of LIFE in the iron college or federal timeout. The DEATH CARD isn't off the table. He will face a judge in the coming week.
The intelligence agencies say that the biggest fear is the lone wolf.
People who are motivated by terrorism are usually getting their inspiration from the social media.
Intelligence agencies across the world are active 24/7. They have to be on this everyday.
It takes one terrorist to get it right. Stopping terrorism is an everyday thing. They can't stop all the threats in the world. That's one thing I often understand. They are on this everyday. It's an exhausting and thankless job. People willing to sacrifice their lives for their fellow American.
When the United States fired upon civilians and Syrian military officers, the world expressed rightfully outrage against this. The Americans deny that it was a targeted attack. Russia is leading the way in having a public condemnation of the U.S. in the reckless call.
This attack may have ended the truce between the Syrian military and the rebels.
Now the Islamic State and its predecessor al Qaeda are a boogie man in the United States. The junk food media has constantly promoted them. They're quickly turning up on social media. They are exposing legal loopholes in government in order to take advantage of the possibilities to commit mass murder upon this country.
Obviously seeing these videos could make someone become a terrorist.
Or perhaps the changes in demographics could be a motivating factor.
Would terrorism be inspired by the constant racism towards people of color?
Could it be inspired by the xenophobia of immigrants?
It is possibly the rise of Islamophobia that inspire terrorism?
Could homophobia and sexism inspire terrorism?
Could political motivations such as this election be an inspiration for terrorism? Terrorism isn't solely a Muslim or Brown person thing.
So the feds determined a 28 year old man from New Jersey was the alleged suspect in the bombings in New York City. The terrorist was just caught in New Jersey after a brief encounter with the law. He was shot and injured by the law. He will be treated for his injuries. He was allegedly sleeping inside an alley of a bar.
Ahmad Rahmi was fingered as the suspect in the bombing in the New York neighborhood of Chelsea.
He was a naturalized citizen who has ties to Afghanistan. The terrorist was spotted on cameras putting a book bag inside a train station terminal trash near Elizabeth, New Jersey.
The tips came in when they pinged the phone to the terrorist's father. The family was abruptly detained by that time.
At the point of escape, the terrorist was confronted by Linden, New Jersey police.
The terrorist put a bomb inside a dumpster and it went off. It injured over 29 people. No deaths were reported at this time. But the situation has driven terrorism back into the narrative.
The New York Daily News reports that allegedly five members of this terrorist's family were en route to John F. Kennedy International Airport. They were stopped in their tracks. The SUV the five were traveling in contained a stash of weapons. Of course, they have the right to carry firearms in New York state.
The terrorist was not on any terror watch lists or in any counterterrorism databases, Reuters reports. It is not known if he has a criminal record.
He was allegedly the "NICE GUY". He was a student at Middlesex Community College from 2010 to 2012 in New Jersey, but did not graduate, the school told NBC News. He studied criminal justice.
The terrorist worked with his family at a local chicken joint in Linden, New Jersey.
According to the Times, the terrorist eventually took over the day-to-day operations of his family’s restaurant.
There may be local ordinance laws towards carrying firearms in New York City.
The agitators in the junk food media have licked their chops once again.
Everyone once again will jump to conclusions about how this terrorist motivated his attack.
We'll hear the "radical Islam" nonsense again. Saying radical Islam doesn't make the threat go away.
If saying that makes you feel comfortable, more power to you. I mean I call it terrorism.
Mass shootings should be classified as terrorism.
The shiny coin is being chased again by the agitators. They will focus on this for the next two weeks and then we're back into another controversy in which Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama will be thrusted upon again.
Blaming someone other than the suspect is common. The partisan driven media agitators are likely the ones to continue this "divide". Republicans and Democrats do it. It's pathetic.
There's no such thing as unity in the United States. All these symbolic themes, all this talk about coming together and these holidays based off tragedy aren't helpful.
Martin Luther King Day, Independence Day, 9/11 tributes, Thanksgiving and Christmas are days where Americans are supposed to come together.
If you ask me about it, I would gladly tell you that unity is never gonna happen as long as we have a country ran by politicians, a polarizing junk food media and a closed mind.
Open minds tend to shape the world. It's an eternity to shape the world.
Who's the real threat to country?
Look in the mirror and point at yourself.
President Barack Obama addresses the United Nations and the public. He took a moment to address the feds involvement in the attacks in New York, New Jersey and the one in Minnesota.
The city of New York was rocked with an explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood. There were 29 people injured but so far no deaths recorded.
The New York Police Department and FBI are very determined to catch the people involved in this horrendous act of terrorism.
As usual, the blame game will come into play and usually the first thing that comes out an agitator's mouth. What is said is pretty simple: Who's gonna take responsibility for the act?
Almost immediately, the finger of blame is pointed at the Islamic State. Then of course, the president, Muslims, Black Lives Matter, liberals, Democrats and Bill de Blasio.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York governor Andrew Cuomo and President Barack Obama were notified about this. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were notified about this as well.
Each of these people express sorrow and anger at this. Yadda, yadda, yadda!
The NYPD and National Guard are on high alert. The city was planning on increasing police presence as foreign dignitaries are arriving at the United Nations. President Barack Obama will be in attendance for the last time.
Someone allegedly put a pressure cooker bomb into a dumpster and the thing exploded and it sent a shockwave across the neighborhood. There were another pressure cooker bombs found in New York about a few blocks away. Then there was one in suburban New Jersey.
A bomb went off in a residential neighborhood in New York City.
A man in Minnesota was stabbing people with a large knife. He stabbed nine people before the law bucked him. According to witnesses, the man was screaming at people asking if they're Muslims, before stabbing him. He decreed in holy Islamic rhetoric that "god is great" before the law bucked him.
The Islamic State has praised the terrorist for his actions.
Terrorism is a part of a daily routine. It happens just as much as a gun crime. It happens without notice.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. REPUBLICANS ONLY STRENGTH IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM IS THEIR TONGUES. THEY CERTAINLY FAIL AT USING THEIR BRAINS WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING TERRORISM. THEY CAN SAY "RADICAL ISLAM" AND ALL THAT OTHER WORD VOMIT AND HYPOTHETICAL BULLSHIT ALL THEY WANT. THEY ARE REMINDED THAT UNDER A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, THE WORST TERRORIST ATTACK ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, HAPPENED UNDER HIS WATCH. THE ISLAMIC STATE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF REPUBLICANS AND THEIR SO-CALLED PATRIOTISM. THE TERRORISTS THANK THE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR CONSERVATIVE ALLIES FOR GIVING ACCESS TO FIREARMS AND BOMB MAKING EQUIPMENT.
Of course, we must be vigilant. If you spot something, say something! It's most important that you contact the law if you see suspicious activity in highly populated areas. It's very critical to let the law know about friends or family members who may have issues that could inspire terrorism.
And for the last time, terrorism isn't solely Muslim or Brown people. It's an act committed by an individual(s) who have a political bone to pick with the government. Their objective is to disrupt the lives of others for the sole thrill of "making a statement".
Those who are arrested will face federal charges. In a federal charge, you can face the "DEATH CARD" if the government indicts you on terrorism.
A reminder to the folks who blame one group for the acts of one. Terrorism isn't exclusively Muslim. There are plenty of folks who willing to terrorize people and property for their twisted views. If we lump mass shootings, White extremism, gang violence, arson, illegal hacking and criminal hate crimes into terrorism, anyone who commits these acts of violence should be tried for the same criminal acts similar to international terrorism.
The destruction of religious institutions was always an act of terrorism. It went back to the years of the Klan burning down predominantly Black churches in the South.
Now the extremists are destroying mosques in the United States.
There have been numerous reports of extremists leaving burned q'urans, pig's blood, pig's heads and graffiti on the walls of mosques.
There was a fire at an Fort Pierce, Florida mosque overnight. This mosque was the place where the Pulse nightclub shooter once prayed.
The Islamic Center of Fort Pierce has images of the terrorist. The Florida state authorities and FBI are determined to capture this person.
In June, the Orlando community was hit by a terrorist who massacred 49 people inside a local gay nightclub. The terrorist was killed by the law after a gunfire exchange. To this day no laws were passed on handling mass shootings.
I will address the mass shooter in the usual blame game postings. After that, I will not mention the name of any mass shooter. I am done sending condolences to victims.
Ironic that on the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attack in 2001, we are no where close to being united. The cliches of "United We Stand" and "We Shall Overcome" are just words not speeches.
The hateful acts of this arsonist will not be tolerated. Hopefully justice will be served to this extremist.
I didn't watch the Commander-in-Chief forum on NBC. It was being hosted by Matt Lauer of Today.
He had an opportunity to give the Democratic and Republican nominee an opportunity to lay out their strategy to command the military if they were elected president.
Let's just say that the forum was a total trainwreck and Lauer was panned for his performance.
Many of Hillary Clinton's supporters criticized Lauer for being too focused on the emails instead of how she can command the country's greatests. Others say that Lauer allowed Donald Trump to lie about his stances and gave him an opportunity to soapbox. Even conservatives were annoyed about Trump's praise of Vladimir Putin, the president of the Russian Federation.
It's not just Sean "Softball" Hannity who's treating Donald Trump with kid gloves, it's the junk food media as well.
Seven weeks to go.
The Commander-in-Chief forum on Wednesday and the Larry King's RT America interview are really examples of how Trump can get away with lying.
Even criticism from Hillary Clinton on Donald Trump and his acolytes is being deplored as an attack on "real Americans".
What is trending today on social media was a comment made by Clinton. #Basketofdeplorables has landed mockery and accusations of playing the race card against Trump.
Trump is ridiculous catching up in polls. The race still favors Clinton but Trump's allies and the soft treatment towards him by the junk food media will make this race forever polarizing.
Just in: An active shooter at a Raleigh, North Carolina mall. No word on casualties but a large police and emergency presence is there in the area.
What could be the motivations of this terrorist?
Could the terrorist been inspired by the Islamic State?
Could the terrorist's motives been inspired by the death of Kouren Thomas?
Could the terrorist been inspired by a loss of job, relationship, or spurn by service?
Could the terrorist been a person with mental illness?
What could motivate a mass shooter?
Well I have an easy answer. Easy access to firearms. Congress continues to avoid passing comprehensive gun control laws that could prevent many of these tragedies to happen.
Sure you can't prevent ever mass shooting in the world. If we have the laws to stop these military style firearms from reaching the hands of domestic terrorists, then it could change the dynamic of mass shootings.
Anyway, what I know so far is that the Crabtree Valley Mall is on lockdown after were reports of an active shooter in the facility. Officials at the mall have gave no reason to the why the building was ordered a lockdown.
If the mass shooting involved more than five people, the junk food media will talk about it non-stop for the next two or three weeks. The agitators will come to Raleigh, North Carolina and post outside the mall or a designated area for the junk food media. They will hear from residents, victims and survivors of the tragedy.
You will hear comments about how this incident carries forth since the last incident. You will hear about other mass shootings that didn't make the news but finally got recognition.
Republican governor Pat McCrory and President Barack Obama will be notified of this. Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) will respond. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will issue statements.
The blame game will once again begin.
If the shooter was a Muslim, you've hear cries of "Radical Islam" and President Barack Obama not doing anything to stop it. They will say that refugees from Syria and Iraq are the reasons to why this happened. They will blame the entire Muslim community for this. They will say that Muslims won't condemn terrorism. Conservative agitators and Donald Trump will lick their chops about this being a Muslim. They don't care if the terrorist is American born. As long as it's a Muslim, they will have their "I told you so moment".
If the shooter was a Black male, obviously Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama will be blamed. Conservatives will say the terrorist had probably got riled up by cops killing unarmed Black people. They will play concern troll and bemoan about gun violence in the Black community or Black on whatever crime. Racial asshats Matt Drudge and Colin Flaherty will use this narrative to get unwanted attention to his blog or YouTube page. Softball Hannity will chant the repeated chants "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" or play the endless loop from a protest rally.
If the shooter was a Hispanic, obviously the cries of illegal immigration and closing the U.S.-Mexican border will be brought up. Conservatives will rehash the old canard that President Barack Obama is "soft on the border" and he will allow immigrants and refugees into the country in massive numbers. It will be once again played on Fox News or AM agitator programs about how Obama is responsible for the mass shooting since the terrorist is an illegal immigrant. If he was American born but had parents who were immigrants, you're going to hear or read nonsense from bigots who believe that if you're family came here illegally, they need to go back to their own country and take you along with them.
If the shooter was a White guy. Conservatives will claim he's a liberal Democrat. Obviously, they don't want to be blamed for every mass shooting in the country. But whenever it's revealed that the terrorist had some form of connection to Republican causes, the conservatives will deflect from the subject to say that Democrats are likely the ones who harbor racial angst towards people. They will rehash narratives about how the shooter was a registered Democrat by looking up old records. Some of the stuff is not confirmed or verified but once it hits Gateway Pundit, Breitbart News, InfoWars and GotNews, conservatives take it as fact.
Now if the victims or survivors speak to the junk food media, some will call them crisis actors. I don't understand why people are so driven to making accusations about people they don't even know personally. You don't know what happened! If a mass shooting occurred in your area, you're going to panic. You're going to have a moment that will be forever etched in memory. You might see traumatic things like a person dying right in front of you. Calling a victim a "crisis actor" is ridiculous. But given the freedom of speech and the constant cynicism of fellow Americans, expect this come forth.
Another thing that annoys me, is the price of fame. Obviously some will whip out their camera phones to record the events. Is it worth your life to do such dangerous things for click bait?
Some of the early videos show a bunch of shoppers exiting the mall en masse.
But it's obvious if this is either a mass shooting or a domestic shooting, the facts are clear, the shooter is a terrorist. It's not because of his skin color, nationality, religion or political motivations.
It's the fact that he would ruin the lives of others because of rejection. I don't care what his life was, he sure as hell didn't value the lives of others.
Donald Trump said that President Barack Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton are the founders of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Of course, he clarified that he was being "sarcastic" when addressing this.
Now he knew he done fucked up when he said that. Trump basically accused the president of supporting terrorism.
Trump stuck to his guns when he appeared on Hugh Hewitt's radio show and it went viral.
The path is getting harder for Trump.
"No, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS. I do," Trump said. "He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton."
The damage was done.
Republicans are expressing concern that Trump could hurt their chances to hold onto Congress.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is the inept Majority Leader of the Senate. He fears that Trump could tip the Congress in the favor of Democrats. Remember, McConnell boldly said that he will not confirm Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland until they get a new president. This inept action will come back to bit him and his hold on the senate.
Trump blames the junk food media for his slide in the polls.
Hey, I thought he was immune to political correctness!
I mean if you're supporting a nominee who calls our president a terrorist sympathizer, you're obviously a supporter of Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
President Barack Obama celebrates his 55th birthday today with his job approval at 54% - 46%.
If he could run for a third term, he would crush the Republican in general.
Obama may go down in history as one of the world's greatest leaders. In his eight years, he rebounded the economy and put forth laws that benefited the middle class. While he admits that he could have done more with a Democratic-led Congress, he's pretty much satisfied with the results of his presidency. Chicago announced that Jackson Park will be the location of the Barack Obama Presidential Library and Museum. It will be located on the South Side of Chicago. It may eventually push out the problems. Generification is often a slick move to rid neighborhoods of problems.
Obama is still pressuring Republicans to confirm Merrick Garland, pass an infrastructure law, pass a Zika virus law, and confirm his counter terrorism analysis.
Republicans are so dysfunctional right now. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Speaker of the House is in a tough primary fight. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) could be uprooted in the Arizona Republican primary.
Obama also called upon Republicans to resend their endorsement of Trump as their nominee.
The president believes Trump could destroy the party.
We just seen Donald Trump put his candidacy in jeopardy. His fight with the family of a slain U.S. Army solider has torpedoed his support among military veterans. His running mate Mike Pence endorsed Ryan for the House, Trump said he won't.
Reince Priebus is really upset with Trump over his refusal to support Ryan, McCain and Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH).
Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News getting fired out the cannon after he was accused of sexually harassing many of his female employees.
Old fart Rush Limbaugh signed on for Premiere Radio (iHeartMedia). He took a huge paycut. The national brands deem Limbaugh too toxic for radio.
The Drudge Report is upsetting conservatives with stories that aren't catching fire.
Pat McCrory, North Carolina's Republican governor vows to take this to the Supreme Court. He and many other Republican state governors are trying to stop minorities from voting by passing these ridiculous voter identification laws.
Sam Brownback, Kansas's governor lost his coalition in Tuesday's primary. Many state lawmakers who aligned with Brownback, were defeated at the ballot box. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), a Tea Party endorsed candidate was defeated by lesser known conservative.
Right now, you see the Republicans in an all out civil war. These guys have no vision. They have no actual policies. Hillary Clinton is on track to becoming the 45th president of the United States.
If they can't change the direction, the Republican Party will face a beat down.
Donald Trump is now engaged in a public feud with the family of an American soldier. The Republican nominee is giving his opponent Hillary Clinton an opening. Will this be the nail that deflates an almost indestructible campaign that refuses to back down?
Trump's facing a backlash after he criticized Khizr and Ghazala Khan. The Khan family criticized Donald Trump's Muslim and immigrant ban at the Democratic National Convention and it drew praise from the junk food media as being the most passionate speech of the night.
Their son Humayun Khan was U.S. army captain who died in 2004 after a vehicle packed with an improvised explosive device drove into the gate of his compound while he was inspecting soldiers on guard duty.
Trump getting hammered for smearing a fallen soldier.
The conservative agitators are starting to mount an offense against the family of a fallen U.S. Army soldier who was a practicing Muslim.
Fox News, the far right network is already accusing Khizr of being a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood. Alt-right agitator Roger Stone is tossing to Fox News the allegations of Khizr being a supporter of "radical Islam" and "al-Qaeda" sleeper cell. He also disgraced their son.
Fox News got into a hissy fit over the fact the junk food media is covering the Khans but not Pat Smith, the mother of Sean Smith. Sean was one of the four victims in the 2012 Benghazi tragedy.
Conservatives have used this as a rope around the neck of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for years. They are more riled up over 9/11/12 than 9/11/01. They spent more time going through Benghazi than 9/11.
They were making a pathetic accusation saying that CNN, MSNBC, and the major three didn't cover Pat Smith. Of course, they didn't cover Pat's speech. They were busy covering Bill O'Reilly's ego.
The damage is done.
Republicans are already hammering Trump for wasting his time going after the Khans instead of Clinton.
The truck that killed 84 innocent people. A terrorist managed to plow over people watching fireworks in Nice.
There was a tragic event in France. The world is mourning another terrorist attack on the people who were just celebrating French independence. The blame game here in the United States will once again be focused on Muslims, immigrants, Black or Brown men, and of course President Barack Obama.
Will the trolls call the victims crisis actors?
Will the Republicans and their conservative allies blame Obama for this?
Will the Republicans and their conservative allies say things like "radical Islam", "scourge" and "weak" when they describe this attack?
As the French were celebrating Bastille's Day, a terrorist managed to sneak pass the barricades to infiltrate the crowds who were watching fireworks in the city of Nice.
The terrorist was in a semi-truck and he was mowing through the crowds. He managed to cause carnage through a two mile stretch of road.
When the authorities tried to apprehend him, he got out his vehicle and started firing upon the residents and the law.
In this act of terrorism, we have over 80 people and rising.
Once again, the junk food media takes it's focus off the issues of violence in the United States to focus on the ongoing fight against terrorism.
The Islamic State and al-Qaeda haven't claimed responsibility for the attacks but on social media it's praised.
The terrorist was a 29 year old man who had minor run-ins with the law. Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlei was a delivery driver who at one point was delivering ice cream. That was a rouse to get through and mow over victims.
The terrorist was a nice guy who had a family.
There is some disturbing videos circulating through social media. The part where he mows over victims and the law shooting the terrorist.
BE WARNED THIS IS DISTURBING.
Okay, as usual Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama offer their thoughts and condolences to the victims. Two Americans were among the dead. A father and son from Austin, Texas were killed.
The terrorist's identification.
President Francois Hollande vows revenge against those involved. He will immediately order military and law enforcement go into the terrorist's home and obtain information and accomplices.
Of course, American conservatives are rehashing "radical Islam" and blaming the president for the attack. The president was in Washington at a town hall about gun violence and racial tensions. It being hosted by ABC when this jumped off.
They seriously believe that the president is weak on terrorism.
Donald Trump held back introducing Indiana governor Mike Pence held was pushed back. Pence declared he's not running for reelection at this time so he'll be the running mate for Trump.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of those lost in this senseless tragedy.
Freshman senator Joni Ernst of Iowa is being vetted by the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
The senator along with freshman senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas are in the running of being Trump's running mate.
Ernst went to Fox News to say that she's had a good conversation.
"I will continue to share my insights with Donald about the need to strengthen our economy, keep our nation safe, and ensure America is always a strong stabilizing force around the globe."
The Iowa senator who did a campaign video about castrating hogs is seriously being vetted. She hasn't accomplished much in one year of being a senator. She's kept a low key profile. I was expecting her to be a bombastic agitator like failed presidential candidates Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
Ernst is a retired National Guard lieutenant colonel and veteran of the Iraq war.
Ernst previously endorsed Rubio for president.
Trump is also heading to Indiana. He's talking with Governor Mike Pence. Pence who endorsed Cruz for president is making peace with Trump. Pence who is facing a reelection bid is trying to score some political points by embracing the Republicans presumptive nominee he distanced himself from earlier.
Trump needs a brain to move his body.
Pence faced a backlash after he passed a religious freedom bill that could discriminate against LGBT residents of Indiana. He looks the other way when Indiana mosques are firebombed and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) is being slandered by agitators for being a "ISIS-sympathizer".
Spokesman Marc Lotter said that Ernst and Pence will do all they can to help Trump win.
Also on the Trump veepstakes is Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker who is a washed up politico. Gingrich ran for president in 2012. Chris Christie, the failed 2016 presidential candidate is in the running.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) are also on the list of potential Trump veeps.
One insurgent who isn't showing up for the Republican National Convention is Utah's Mia Love.
Love who is the first woman and African American elected in Utah. She said that she's going to focus on the residents of Utah and skip the convention. Love endorsed Rubio for president.
Suicide bombing at Istanbul's Ataturk International Airport.
The junk food media is covering the massacre at Istanbul Ataturk International Airport. The Turkish authorities and the American authorities are investigating the incident. The attack happened around 10pm overnight and the causalities are great. We don't know if any Americans or Western nationals were among the dead.
The Islamic State hasn't claimed responsibility but it's likely their involvement.
Turkey had been the victim of several terrorist attacks in 2016. There were two bombings in January and March of this year. Then there were a few incidents in June.
Some of these events could have been sponsored by the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons or the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) but the groups aren't saying much.
Two men approached the X-ray scanners at a security checkpoint and opened fire. They were fired upon by the law and then when they got them on the ground, they pushed a button on their collars and "BOOM" the room goes into dark.
The terrorist killed themselves and three people in the vicinity.
There could be over 100 people killed in this event. So far the death toll is in the double digits.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (media called ISIS) is the terrorist group de jour. They are the most brutal group past al Qaeda. The terrorist organization has been actively recruiting Western members to their group.
The event was captured on social media. A video posted on Twitter shows a view from a camera inside the airport terminal. A few dozen people are walking around and then a bright flash and fireball erupted in the background.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yildrim both express sorrow and anger tonight. They believe that individuals involved will be nabbed quickly.
The airport is closed. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the FBI are on the ground.
President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Secretary of State John Kerry have also send their condolences to the victims. They promise that the event will merit in a response from NATO.
It was clearly an act of terror. Facebook activates the "I AM SAFE" function. Has it been activated for the most recent attacks besides Istanbul and Orlando?
Will the conservatives blame President Barack Obama for not saying "radical Islam" or "ignoring the threat"?
Let me say this with no remorse, saying "radical Islam" isn't fighting terrorism. It's just divisive and ignorant upon the conservatives to say that. If they really want to fight terrorism, they need to first understand what drives them to terrorism.
The U.S. Congress needs to pass comprehensive background checks and an assault weapons ban to keep terrorists and mentally insane from obtaining firearms. They need to also keep military grade explosives out the reach of non-military officials.
It won't be long before the suicide bombers come into our airports. And of course, the U.S. Congress will allow it to happen because they don't want the "needless" regulations.
World News Today send our condolences to the victims of this senseless tragedy.
Washed up actor Scott Baio is a canceled sitcom. He's going after the president for not saying "radical Islam". Saying he supports terrorism.
Washed up celebrity Scott Baio calls President Barack Obama a terrorist.
You may remember Baio who played Chachi from Happy Days and Charles from Charles in Charge.
No, you don't!
Well here's some real shit going on! Baio is a big time Republican. He's certainly in the tank for Donald Trump. He's pretty damn sure about the president being a sympathizer towards the Islamic State.
The washed up celebrity went on Fox Business Network to give his two cents on the Orlando massacre.
Baio kept calling "Lester" for some reason—that Obama is either dumb, a Muslim, or a Muslim sympathizer. "I don't think he's dumb," Baio clarified. The erstwhile Bob Loblaw also wondered if Obama's secret goal is to “totally eliminate the United States as it was created and founded and the way it is now?”
Baio was in the news sometime ago. He posted on social media a racist tweet about First Lady Michelle Obama. He said that he was snubbed by Hollywood after this. Many in the industry pretty much wiped him like toilet paper and flushed him down the toilet.
Of course the president doesn't mince words when it comes to fighting terrorism. He said that the Republican Party and their conservative allies have often used their tongues instead of brains.
Calling the threat "radical Islam" isn't going to make the threat go away. Yet, Republicans and conservative agitators (i.e. Softball Hannity) would waste their time blaming the 1.6 billion worshippers of the Muslim faith.
Baio is a piece of shit. He seriously believes the first Black president is a "MUSLIM".
Damn shame that Baio isn't hiding in an Indiana trailer park like his former co-star Erin Moran.
Here's the list of washed up celebrity Trump supporters.
Silk and Diamond (Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson)
Dennis Rodman
Scott Baio
Wayne Newton
Kid Rock
Ted Nugent
Mike Tyson
Bobby Knight
Tila Tequila
Hulk Hogan
Kristie Alley
Gary Busey
Jon Voight
Terrell Owens
Jerry Lewis
Meatloaf
Willie Robertson
Azealia Banks
And the list will keep on growing and it might be another episode of Celebrity Apprentice.
Wonder what the conservatives are going to complain about once Obama's out of office?
