If criticizing the genocide of Palestinians by a brutal Israeli military is anti-semitic, then you're dumb as fuck!
Palestinians are being terrorized by a government that claims to be for the freedom of all people.
They are being evicted from their homes. The military and police are shooting children and raping women. And the junk food media always seems to be on the side of Israel.
I am so tired of the conservatives.
In a 3:1 fight, Israel is winning and we're paying for it. The United States gives billions of dollars to crooked foreign leader. President Barack Obama doesn't bow to right wing leaders. That's why fuck faces like Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu are so glad a Republican got into the White House.
They could string this dummy up and drag us again into another endless war.
Netanyahu and his Likud Party were none too happy after the United Nations condemned Israel for ignoring the settlement ban. The Israeli government continues to built in East Jerusalem and it's stroking tension with the Arab world. The United State, the European Union and the Asian Pacific Alliance are getting tired of this conflict.
The U.S. abstained itself from a voting resolution causing its passing. Netanyahu privately was calling Obama a "NIGGER". He said that Obama had tuned his back on Israel.
Well if Obama was really turning his back on Israel, he should pull the military aid.
As Obama leaves the White House, he leave the Afghanistan War and the semi-ongoing Iraqi War. The fuhrer Donald J. Trump will take over with ambitions that could spell trouble for world leaders.
He has no political experience and yet believes his "charming" personality will grab the world by the pussy.
Fuhrer Trump and Christian terrorist Mike Pence both are inept in governing but the ignorance has spoken.
The Times of Israel and The Daily Mail are doing dirt digging on the Netanyahu administration.
Netanyahu is facing a "criminal investigation" over bribery and fraud claims after police were handed new documents in the case, it has emerged.
Netanyahu saying that the investigation is bullshit and its Obama's plot to get rid of him.
Fuck Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and this White extremist movement called the alt-right.
British pop star George Michael who had numerous hits as a solo artist and his then group Wham! passed away at the age of 53.
"It is with great sadness that we confirm our beloved son, brother and friend, George passed away at home over the Christmas period," his publicist said in a statement.
Born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, he was best known for the post-disco, dance-pop songs of the 1980s and 1990s. He had hits like "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", "One More Try", "Careless Whisper" and "Freedom 90!" and "Last Christmas".
As a solo artist his album Faith, sold over 20 million copies and secured his name as a legend in pop music.
He was also known for being busted in the 1990s for soliciting for sex at a Beverly Hills park. He was caught up in a sting when he wanted to have sex with an undercover cop.
He was forced to publicly address his sexuality after the cop told his story to the junk food media.
Michael had troubles with drugs. He was open about his addiction to pain killers, marijuana and cocaine. He was struggling throughout his life trying to overcome addiction.
Michael hasn't sung a live performance in five years. The rumors were a comeback tour.
In tribute to George Michael, we'll do a Late Thread.
This horseface agitator Jeanine Pirro bemoans about Michelle Obama's comments about "hope."
First Lady Michelle Obama has often ignored the "noise" of her critics.
And like the gullible, I have to waste my time responding to this. I despise women of color attacking other women of color. I just detest how women of color are treated. Black woman are less than value to White people. And it's a shame that even some Black people and others believe this.
I have to give my response to this phony ass beeyotch named Jeanine Pirro. She is some agitator on Fox News who is catching popularity for her commentary. She's a woman born of African American and Lebanese descent.
A weekend agitator who once hosted a failed syndicated courtroom show wants to show out.
The first lady talks to Oprah on CBS about life after the White House. She says she's humble about the eight years. However she is disappointed with the way she and Barack were treated. She feels like there's no "hope" with this orange fuhrer named Donald J. Trump.
That comment earned the ire of the racists and Pirro.
Pirro wasted no time trying to piece apart Obama's comments.
"Since when does hope rise and fall with you and Barack?"
Then she would rant on about how "real Americans" know what hope feels like.
Peep this garbage.
Beeyotch please. You need to tuck that plastic back in your face. First Lady Michelle Obama is well loved among Americans. Only to people like you and that annoying conservative agitator Sean "Softball" Hannity believe the first lady doesn't love America.
I'm taking a knee and never standing for the flag. As long Republicans and Democrats continue the status quo, there's no real change. This orange fuhrer isn't going to change America. He's going to be wrangled with issues that he can't solve. He won't keep his promises and his administration will tell him how to handle a crisis. He can't bring America together.
America was never great and it will continue to be so in the age of Trump.
Black people aren't loving America. I am a Black male disgusted with America. I am frustrated with White privilege, racism, inequality at work, police officers murdering unarmed people of color, Republicans, armchair hand wringing and this White extremist movement they labeled the alt-right.
I am tired of being told how to think by the likes of White people and I don't believe in hypotheticals.
I don't like being hurt by women. I am starting to consider myself more closed minded when it comes to dating outside my race. I love Black, White, Asian and Latina women. But I am starting to feel more principled now that I might be a father.
I don't care what an internet troll thinks of me. They don't know me personally.
Trump is a controversial billionaire racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature manchild who was then a reality television star. Many Americans (including myself) will not respect him or Mike Pence as leaders.
I refuse to do so and I am proud of doing it.
This noise is getting mad airplay on social media by saying to the first lady that "America rejected you."
Hold on, beeyotch! America didn't reject Obama.
I'm going to miss Michelle Obama. She was real.
Barack Obama won two elections, beeyotch. Obama won in two landslides, while the soon-to-be orange fuhrer won barely. He didn't win the popular vote. He won the electoral college.
A landslide is the victory of both the electoral college and popular vote.
Trump had the junk food media unzip and pants and went down on him.
If you disagree with First Lady Michelle Obama, that's you're problem. But if you think that she's is rejected by America, I imagine that Donald Trump grabbed you by the pussy.
Yeah, Jeanine Pirro was grabbed by the pussy. Donald J. Trump grabbed her by the pussy and he doesn't apologize. It was "unpresidented" for Pirro to go after Obama. But what do expect from this phony plastic beeyotch of color.
Did you know that Pirro is nearly 70 years old and looks like she's at least in her 50s?
Plastic surgery couldn't save this ugly duckling.
Mind you, I am no holds barred when I address conservatives now. They don't believe in political correctness.
I still respect all women but just not her and others like her!
Blowhard concludes partisan Benghazi committee. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is a worthless partisan hack.
The only muscle Republicans flex in the war on terrorism is their tongues and your taxpayer dollars.
For those who forgot or were born after September 11, 2001 let's remind the readers here. A Republican president was in office when the worst terrorist attack on American soil happened.
The Republican president ignored the memo about a potential attack on America through commercial airplanes. It led to the ongoing Afghanistan war and the concluded but still involved Iraqi war. It was masquarade as the War on Terror.
It cost trillions of dollars and countless lives. Under two presidents we have been in war. Now as the controversial billionaire racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star who will be our first ever Fuhrer of the United States, he will likely take the memo.
But who knows how unpredictable this Donald J. Trump will be?
One thing that's not going carry on is the investigation. The four year investigation into a terrorist attack on a U.S. Consulate and CIA annex in the seaport city of Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans were killed.
Republicans were quick to blame President Barack Obama for the tragedy. The party tried and failed in 2012 when Obama went against Mitt Romney. Obama would win easily. But going against his former Secretary of State and former First Lady of the United States Hillary Clinton, it hung to her like a noose around her neck. While she may have taken the popular vote, she lost the all important electoral college.
If she would have won, Republicans would carry this on for years.
With nearly $10 million used to investigate the September 11, 2012 tragedy, Republicans have gotten all the answers they need.
For the Democrats and progressive agitators, it was the scandal that never went away, until now.
The House Republicans decided that the committee's "findings" were suitable to their cause. They ended the committee and case is closed. Now that Clinton was humiliated by the election loss,
Republicans are now gleefully taunting Democrats by bringing the curtain down on the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Again, I will not respect Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence as the country's next whatever....!
I will oppose them just like they opposed Barack Obama. I might go after their families. I am not willing to go down the hole but since they attacked Michelle Obama and her daughters, who knows?
American Dad. Stan Smith visibly annoyed with Donald Trump demanding a cut when Smith said his trademark phrase "You're Fired".The show deals with Smith being a CIA-operative who deals with his dysfunctional family, a East German athlete who's brain was implanted inside a goldfish and self-absorbing alien who lives in his attic
In the world of fake news, the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star who will be your next fuhrer has dismissed the CIA claims that the Russian Federation influenced the election.
Many Republicans are not interested in the possibility of Russian hackers breaking into the DNC and RNC emails. The CIA concluded that Russia did provide some impact on this election. It was no secret that Vladimir Putin's tension with Hillary Clinton lead to the Wikileaks email dump. The Russian hackers didn't care too much about the Republican emails. The email scandal hung around Clinton's neck and did cost her the election.
The intelligence community warns Donald J. Trump to take all briefings seriously.
During the campaign, Trump had called for foreign hackers to look into Clinton's emails to prove that she deliberately allowed American diplomats to die in Benghazi.
Inept Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Majority Leader said now he's in favor of a investigation of the hacking. At first, he was not interested but he backed down when many of the still racist but rational members said that the possibility is real. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) are examples of lawmakers who look at these issues seriously.
The CIA concluded that the Russian Federation interfered in this election by spreading misinformation about failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The Russian government aided by Wikileaks had infiltrated the private emails of the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta's emails.
Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails. The reasons were to hurt Clinton and boost their puppet, the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature fuhrer in waiting Donald J. Trump.
The Russian president Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin denies interfering in the election. Putin did say that Trump was a brilliant man who had the will of his people on his side.
In a secret briefing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the inept Majority Leader voiced doubts that Russia had a hand in the hacking of the emails of Democratic leaders. So McConnell doesn't put his trust in the federal agencies that fight terrorism. He only believes the CIA when they can produce yellowcake uranium in Iraq. He doesn't seem to care where Osama bin Laden was. He believed President Barack Obama's predecessor George W. Bush when he said that bin Laden was probably hiding in a cave.
Me not know. Yet he gets intelligence briefings.
Even the fuhrer is denying he got a leg up from his buddy he can see from Sarah Palin's backyard.
Trump said no way. "I don't believe they interfered. it could be Russia. And it could be China. And it could be some guy in his home in New Jersey."
Trump already pissed of the Democratic People's Republic of China by taking a personal call from the president of Taiwan (the Republic of China).
White House and the CIA declined comment on the issue.
Fake news sites with ties to Russia include: The Drudge Report, InfoWars, Prison Planet, ZeroHedge, Daily Trump, BeforeItsNews and Corbett Report are named as websites that traffic propaganda.
Famed astronaut and former U.S. Senator John Glenn passed away.
Sad news to report. The legendary astronaut and former Democratic senator from Ohio, John Glenn passed away. Around that time, he was hospitalized at the Ohio State University James Cancer Center. A specific cause of death wasn't revealed but at the time of his death, the family confirmed he was in dire straits.
Buzz Aldrin is suffering from declining health issues as well. He was in Antarctica when he was getting ill and had to return back to the United States. He was told of the news while in the hospital.
President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump were notified of the passing.
Obama said that "with John's passing, our nation has lost an icon."
"When John Glenn blasted off from Cape Canaveral atop an Atlas rocket in 1962, he lifted the hopes of a nation," Obama said in a statement. "And when his Friendship 7 spacecraft splashed down a few hours later, the first American to orbit the Earth reminded us that with courage and a spirit of discovery there’s no limit to the heights we can reach together."
Trump said in a tweet that the nation had lost "a great pioneer of air and space in John Glenn. He was a hero and inspired generations of future explorers."
Ohio governor John Kasich, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) were notified as well.
Glenn was the last survivor of the Mercury 7. He was selected in 1959 as NASA's first groups of astronauts. He became the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20th, 1962.
He was born on July 18, 1921 in Cambridge, Ohio to Clara and John H. Glenn, Sr. The family moved to New Concord when he was young. His father was involved in the business of plumbing. He didn't want to get into the business, he wanted to be an engineer.
He went to Muskingum College to study there. He dropped out to join the Navy. He was influenced to join after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In World War II, John flew 59 combat missions in the South Pacific as Marine aviator. He flew a further 90 combat missions during the Korean War. He survived skirts with enemy fire and lived to tell about it.
Around that time, he met his love Annie and she always had his back. They would have two children and live in Columbus, Ohio.
Glenn was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1974. Served from 1975 until 1999. He lost his first bid for the Senate from Ohio in 1970, after abandoning a race in 1964 because of a head injury suffered in a fall.
Glenn was briefly considered as a running mate for Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter in 1980. But a ponderous address at the Democratic National Convention – people walked out – caused Carter to remark that Glenn was "the most boring man I ever met."
Glenn sought the Democratic presidential nomination himself in 1984 but was quickly eliminated by eventual nominee Walter Mondale, Carter's vice president. His failure was all the more stinging because he had been touted as an early front-runner.
In the Senate, Glenn was respected as a thoughtful moderate with expertise in defense and foreign policy. But his career's luster was dulled by a Senate investigation of the "Keating Five" – five senators suspected of doing favors for campaign contributor Charles Keating Jr. The panel eventually found Glenn did nothing improper or illegal.
He took a leading role in seeking to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, especially to Pakistan. He was the author of a law that forced the United States to impose sanctions on India and Pakistan in 1998 after both countries conducted nuclear tests.
He also was a staunch advocate of a strong military and took a keen interest in strategic issues. He retired from the Senate in 1999.
Thirty-six years after his maiden space voyage, Glenn became America's first geriatric astronaut on Oct. 29, 1998. He was 77 years old when he blasted off as a mission specialist aboard the shuttle Discovery. He saw it as a blow to stereotyping of the elderly.
"Maybe prior to this flight, we were looked at as old geezers who ought to get out of the way," Glenn said after his nine-day shuttle mission. "Just because you’re up in years some doesn't mean you don't have hopes and dreams and aspirations just as much as younger people do."
Recently the city of Columbus renamed its airport John Glenn Metro Columbus International Airport.
The former was Port Columbus.
The skies are the limit for a legend. He will be sorely missed. Godspeed John Glenn.
With the fuhrer coming into office, Republicans feel that they're confident to repeal the first term of President Barack Obama. With their top priorities including a Supreme Court nominee, repeal Obamacare, pass the Keystone XL pipeline, recognize the threat of "radical Islam", and pass anti-choice laws nationwide, Republicans believe this is going to be an easy ride for them.
Democrats are seething with rage over their defeat. They want revenge!
Republicans have demonized Obama for the two terms and now they're trying to normalize Donald J. Trump as a rational leader. He will pick a cabinet and his very words could jeopardize the world.
Republicans are still stuck in the 20th Century.
And they continue to promise to bring "real change" back to Washington while still doing nothing.
They will continue to be inept and worthless.
Democrats will continue to be worthless as well. They continue to pick Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as their House Minority Leader. And it's likely warmongering Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will be the Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate. Pelosi, Schumer and the Democrats weren't tough enough to stand against the onslaught of misinformation being spread around by websites like The Drudge Report, InfoWars, WorldNetDaily, ZeroHedge, and Breitbart.
Democrats are the party of diversity but it's losing support among those who felt that the party accommodating Republican policies.
We have a million problems in this country. About 1/3 of the problems will likely be solved. Most of these issues will be partisan rancor. I bet you money that the moment the Republicans get into power, they'll be drunk on it.
I am fatigued of a lot of things. Tragedies are one of them. I am tired of hearing about how many people died in tragedies that could have been prevented. If we had a Congress that would pass regulations on building safety, some of these incidents could have been prevented. California is one of the states with the most regulations on the environment and safety of buildings. Given that California sits on the Ring of Fire Earthquake zone, the state assembly passed laws that stops companies from having unsafe structures like this tragedy in Oakland.
Somehow the party was too big and there were not enough escape routes. In case of an emergency, some would hide in the restroom or kitchen. Obviously some of the victims may have been in the restroom or in areas where exits weren't available.
There was a massive fire that led to tragedy in Oakland, California. It happened in a converted warehouse called The Ghost Ship. At the time of the fire, the warehouse was hosting a concert promoted by the house music label called 100% Silk and featured musicians from the label.
At present time nearly three dozen people were killed in the fire. This is probably one of the deadliest fires in Oakland. It would be counted one of the deadliest in the United States.
It's not known to how the fire was started but it was bad building preparations that made it impossible for victims to escape the fire. Given a fire could cause a stampede. Some of the victims were trampled as others tried to escape.
I blame Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence and Republicans for promising to cut regulations to building safety.
Killer walks after a juror decides that he was in the right.
When has there ever been a cop tried for murder of an unarmed citizen?
I'm waiting on your answer.
Michael Slager gets to go home for the time being. This man is being charged with the murder of Walter Scott. The jury had a mistrial because of one juror's belief that the former North Charleston officer's actions were not negligent. The juror could not "with good conscience consider a guilty verdict."
This high profile trial was flawed from the beginning. He tried to defend his actions by saying that he felt his life was in danger and he had to take down the threat.
Slager if convicted would face LIFE in the iron college.
The police dash camera footage shows that Slager pulled Walter off for a broken tail light. Walter gave Slager his license and explained that he was in the process of getting the vehicle in his name.
Walter Scott was tragically killed by a corrupt cop.
Walter was wanted for child support and feared he would be arrested. He would bolt out the vehicle and Slager would give chase.
Slager would deploy the Taser on Walter. When Walter freed himself of the Taser, Slager would deploy deadly force. He would shot his service weapon eight times. Five rounds hit Walter and he dropped.
Slager would then handcuff Walter and drop the Taser near him. Unaware that Feidin Santana was recording the entire encounter on film. Santana would then go to the junk food media and shatter the narrative that Walter was charging at Slager.
Slager was immediately fired from the North Charleston Police and then charged. He was held on a $2 million get out of jail card,
So far, the whole ordeal has been nothing more than a circus. When this juror decided that Slager didn't commit a criminal act, it basically set the killer free.
Now we wait and see if the state prosecutors will retry this slimeball.
Former NFL player Joe McKnight was killed and his killer claimed self-defense.
The tragic death of Joe McKnight has been trending last week. The former running back for the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs was gunned down in Terrytown, Louisiana last week by this guy in an apparent road rage incident.
McKnight, a former New Orleans high school star, was shot dead about 3 p.m. Thursday during an argument at an intersection in Terrytown, reported The Times-Picayune.
A witness said she saw a man, later identified as 54-year-old Ronald Gasser, yelling at the 28-year-old McKnight, who was attempting to apologize.
Witnesses said Gasser, who is white, pulled McKnight, who is black, from his Audi, argued with him and then shot him more than once as he stood over him.
"I told you not to fuck with me," Gasser said, before firing once more at McKnight as he lay on the ground.
McKnight, who last played in the NFL in 2014, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Gasser was taken to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office for questioning but was released overnight without charges, reported The Advocate.
Deputies said the fatal shooting remains under investigation.
Investigators said McKnight, who was named the Times-Picayune's male athlete of the decade in 2009 after a standout career at John Curtis Christian School, was not armed at the time of his death.
No other guns were found outside his vehicle.
Witnesses said Gasser and McKnight had exchanged words before the confrontation at the intersection of Behrman Highway and Holmes Boulevard.
The white extremist had previous encounters with the law including road rage incidents.
Louisiana's "stand your ground" law permits deadly force if the shooter believes they’re in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm.
Cardell Hayes, who fatally shot NFL player Will Smith earlier in April in another New Orleans road rage case, is expected to claim self-defense under that statute, which was passed in 2005.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand provided some details of the shooting death on Thursday.
I place the tragic death of Joe McKnight on the hands of Louisiana's Democratic governor John Bel Edwards, Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Bill Cassidy, David Vitter and the soon to be senator elect who replaces him. They refuse to pass laws that keep firearms out the hands of dangerous White extremists like Gasser.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers blocked the Dakota Access Pipeline. It is a small victory for the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The decision essentially halts the construction of the 1,172-mile oil pipeline about a half a mile south of the reservation.
This has been a huge story that's been ignored by the junk food media. It was brutal for the people who were there protesting the oil pipeline. The state's governor and county sheriff were using force to move the protesters.
The Army Corps says it intends to issue an Environmental Impact Statement with "full public input and analysis."
Now it's giving Energy Transfer Partners a grace period to find an alternative route that doesn't impact the land or water supply.
This decision halts the construction and it's a huge victory for the protesters.
Energy Transfer Partner's proposed route cuts through Wide River and Standing Rock.
President Barack Obama's impact on this is will short-lived. The incoming asshole supports the pipeline. He could reverse the decision when he takes office.
Sunday's announcement comes nearly three months after the Corps said that it would review the project and engage in further talks with the Standing Rock Sioux to hear the tribe's concerns.
Energy Transfer Partners said that the Army Corps granted approval for the reservoir crossing in July.
Dave Archambault II, the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, thanks the Obama administration for what he called a historic decision. At the same time, he asked the chief executive of the Energy Transfer, the governor of North Dakota and the incoming asshole to respect the decision.
When the man-child take office, he'll inherit a low job rate. President Barack Obama leaves him 15.9 million jobs.
Bet you money, we won't hear conservatives bemoan and beeyotch about the jobs report once the dictator takes over. Like they've done to President Barack Obama, they would say that the jobs report were bogus and 95 million people aren't working. They don't care about the obvious reasons to why people aren't working.
For every the month of November, the jobs report comes with 178,000 jobs added. It drops the unemployment rate to 4.6 percent. With that drop, it begins the final month of Obama's term.
He will leave the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature/reality television star a stable economy. The man-child will be our next president. Donald J. Trump will come in believing that his words helped the economy.
Let's break down the canard about 95 million people not working. Obviously in the minds of White extremists there are so many people lazy and living on the gubmint. They want drug tests for people who use the safety net.
I can only imagine that those who are suffering in the South weren't supporters of Obama's policies.
A large scale wildfire in Tennessee destroying homes and displacing people. Tennessee lawmakers are calling upon Congress to pass emergency relief before they take their umpteenth vacation. Once they return it will be the soon-to-be inept 115th Congress. The Republicans will have control of Congress and they will ignore the needs of the American people.
Reasons to why 95 million people not working. DEATH BIRTH RETIREMENT TERMINATION FROM JOB QUIT JOB ON OWN TERMS PRISON STAY AT HOME PARENT COLLEGE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY DISABLED
Ace Hardware refuse to sell items to Standing Rock protesters.
Conservatives are boycotting Kellogg's for not sponsoring websites like Breitbart. The white extremist website was crucial to that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/reality television star. He will be is your next president. They promoted stories that many consider anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-LGBT, anti-Native American and anti-immigrant.
Kellogg's promotes diversity and they don't want to be associated with hate and they along with other venues cut ties to Breitbart. Now the white extremist are mad an they are throwing their cereals and snacks in the toilet.
Now, Ace Hardware is facing the wrath of the consumer. Now progressives are boycotting the hardware company for supporting the crucial treatment of Native Americans protesting a pipeline that could inflict harm on the water supply in the Midwest.
Keep fighting.
The hardware company said that it will support its affiliates refusal to sale items to Standing Rock Protesters. The company said it will not sell "incendiary" products in the vicinity of Standing Rock pipeline.
The refusal to sell propane to thousands of Native Americans and their allie who are now camped in blizzard conditions. These are the people who are defending the Missouri River and burial places from Dakota Access Pipeline. This is the latest in a campaign of total disregard for human life by North Dakota governor Jack Dalrymple and Morton County sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier.
The Standing Rock protest is ignored by the junk food media. For nearly a year, the Standing Rock Native American reservation and its allies have protested the Dakota Access Pipeline. The pipeline could threaten the water supply and their spiritual grounds.
Protests began in March and it's been ongoing ever since. The junk food media has ignored the brutal police encounters with protesters. Morton County's sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier has been in the crosshairs of the protesters, He has demanded they be removed by order of the court.
Some of the protesters were injured by the police dogs. Some were injured by police projectiles and pepper spray. This is being ignored.
This issue is ongoing and President Barack Obama and the incoming dictator haven't mentioned much about it.
Energy Transfer Partners is hoping to built this pipeline and they're hopeful the dictator could get the ball rolling.
President Barack Obama voices frustration with Washington lawmakers who look upon fake news as facts.
Relentless rambling from fake news sites, Fox News and that annoying conservative agitator Sean "Softball" Hannity helped that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/reality television star Donald J. Trump become your next dictator-in-chief.
Fox News shot to the top in the early 2000s. It was created by Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch. In 1996, it started slow but quickly rose to being the number one watched cable news channel.
It ran on this narrative that it's "fair and balanced" and the "we report, you decide" mantra.
It also ran on the hot women in skirts and heels. It's primetime lineup is very profitable. Agitators like Bill O'Reilly, Shepard Smith, Bret Baier, Neil Cavuto, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson and Sean "Softball" Hannity do exceptionally well. Because of their attacks on President Barack Obama, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, White people poured out in favor of this asshole and his Christian Extremist sidekick.
Roger Ailes would have been proud of his network. Unfortunately his behind the scenes antics doomed his career.
And of course, the president has followed the scandal over at Fox. He believes that Fox News created this bubble of resistance. No matter what is said or proven as fact, a Fox News viewer will not support it.
President Barack Obama is not happy about this election. His legacy could be turned upside down with the Republicans back in charge.
He made his feelings known in one of his last interviews with the Rolling Stone. He talks to Jann Wenner about the election, his post-presidency and the future dictator.
He said that Democrats can't connect to America because of the junk food media brainwashing them with garbage.
"The challenge is people are getting a hundred different visions of the world from a hundred different outlets or a thousand different outlets, and that is ramping up divisions. It’s making people exaggerate or say what’s most controversial or peddling in the most vicious of insults or lies, because that attracts eyeballs", said Obama.
He said that Fox News, talk radio and outlets like The Drudge Report makes it harder for Democrats to get their message out there. These outlets spread the seeds of distrust and despair and it makes Americans very skeptical about government.
Obama added, "In this election, [White working class voters] turned out in huge numbers for [Dictator-elect] Donald Trump. And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively. Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground. And when we're on ground, we do well."
He said that fake news sites sponsored by foreign governments like Russia also make it easier for Trump to win this election.
Fox News, MSNBC and CNN are driven towards controversy for partisan rancor and ratings.
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.
My vacation in Niagara Falls. I took a picture of the International Boundary Line at the Rainbow Bridge. Its one of the many border crossings that the United States and Canada share.
Our future dictator has one of his properties in Toronto.
Our neighbor to the north is concerned about the nationalist stance of your incoming dictator. His surprise win has concerns globally. He is not prepared for the job. The controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/reality television star who will become the 1st Dictator of the United States will take office in January along with his running mate the Christian extremist who is the outgoing Indiana governor. They promised that they will make America Great Again.
On his journey he may takedown many allies in his quest.
Canada our most reliable ally in the world is hoping that the incoming leader will not ruin a century's worth of trade and friendship.
If you didn't know this lovely fact, let me inform you about it. The U.S.-Canadian border is one of the longest boundary in the world. It's an invisible line that cuts through two countries and the U.S. Border Patrol and Canadian Border Service Agency monitor it 24/7, everyday. The International Boundary Commission is the agency that deals with maintaining the border. The IBC must cut through forests and mountains to maintain a clear path dividing the countries.
It spreads from Alaska in the extreme northwest with the Yukon and British Columbia. Then it starts from Washington state to Maine. It passes through the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick.
It pass through the U.S. States of Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan (water), Ohio (water), Pennsylvania (water), New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
It passes through forests, mountains, valleys, and water. However the border is complex. Some of the United States extends into Canadian mainland and vise versa. It's noted that some of the border does pass through buildings such as homes, businesses, and a library.
In the tiny town of Derby Line, Vermont, there is a handful residents who are literally neighbors to the people of the city of Stanstead, Quebec. The town was cut in half and the residents must apply for passports to see their neighbors. So if you live in Derby Line to get a fresh pizza from Stanstead, you better have a passport. If you from Stanstead and want to travel to the nearest Walmart 30 miles down the Interstate 91, better get a passport.
It's even rough for the residents of the tiny village of Estcourt Station, Maine. The town sits at the northernmost point of the United States. You have to drive through Canada to enter the tiny hamlet.
Only five people live there and they have the worst luck of border residents. Their homes are directly on the border. Those who live in the United States must travel through Canada to get back to the town of Fort Kent, Maine. Those who want to get gas from the Gulf station in Estcourt Station and live in the city of Pohenegamook, Quebec have to drive nearly a mile to border patrol before going to the gas station to fill up. That's if they're open. If the U.S. Custom and Border Patrol station isn't open, you're out of luck. Because if you have a home in the Canada but have to get through your driveway in United States, you're pretty much trapped in your home.
If you live in New York, you have the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation. It is a Native American claim that cuts into both countries. Many residents can freely travel through the countries without being stopped. Although both government monitor the area, the area is independent governance.
If you live at the Northwest Angle in Minnesota, you have to travel through Manitoba to get to the area. You must contact the border patrol once you enter the Angle. If you fail to do so, within 30 minutes the border agents and the U.S. Coast Guard will appear and round you up.
If you live in Point Roberts, Washington, you have a rough way to the mainland. The city is part of the United States and it sits on the peninsula of British Columbia. You have only an elementary school in Point Roberts. Many residents who have children who are passed 5th grade have to go to either Canadian schools for education or take the hour ride from Surrey, British Columbia to Blaine, Washington for middle and high school education.
With the Republican Party fixated on building walls and having countries pay for it, I wonder if the Republicans are willing to pay the residents of the United State sand Canada to clear the way for that wall to the north.
The soon-to-be dictator wants to end trade agreements with countries that don't help America first.
But in the same breathe he wants the Keystone XL pipeline and Dakota Access Pipeline to carry forth. Those pipelines will cut through the United States from Canada.
The issues with legalization of marijuana is also divisive. Canada is going to legalize the weed nationwide. In the United States, a handful of states are legalizing the weed. The rest considers it a felony if you possess the weed.
Nonetheless, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with the guy in the coming month as a jester of goodwill. The two will have some tension on issues. His stance on refugees, the poor and the American-Canadian trade agreements are issues that the dictator may have to focus on.
Border security is truly a Republican issue. They want to ban Muslims from coming into the country.
They want to ship immigrants back to their nations (including Canada).
Did you know it's easier to get into Canada than it is the United States. The U.S. takes everything seriously and assured that you'll be banned from entry if you commit a felony in the country of your origin. Matter of fact, if you're an American cause an criminal incident in Canada, you could be banned from entry in the United States. You might have to face Canadian courts or detainment for an indefinite period.
The world is mourning the loss of Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro.
Fidel Castro, the legendary leader in the Caribbean nation of Cuba has passed away at the age of 90. World leaders have sent their condolences to the former Cuban president. Born Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, he led Cuba throughout the Cold War. He was icon in Cuba as well as her in the United States.
Here in the United States, I can only imagine how conservatives are screaming for joy knowing an "enemy" of the country is gone.
Castro was the leader of the 1959 Cuban Revolution. He lead a coalition of Cubans to overthrow U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Castro ruled the island nation for nearly 50 years. His supporters say that he was for the people. His detractors said that he was a dictator and cruel despot who suppressed opposition.
He would test the United States by thumbing his finger in the eye of 10 presidents.
In 2006, Castro would face ill health and couldn't lead the nation. He would pass his legacy to his younger brother Raul. Raul Castro announced the news on state television tonight.
Castro spent his final years in seclusion and made some appearances with foreign dignitaries. He would also take to a blog to talk about the world events. The junk food media over here broke into local programming to express their know nothing opinions.
He was born in Cuba. He was upset over the Batista government and how it was cruelly treating the people of Cuba. Castro was aided by guerrilla war strategist Che Guevara. They fought the Cuban leader and defeated him. Castro would become the prime minister of Cuba.
He would criticize the United States after the CIA-lead Bay of Pigs Invasion. He would ban all Americans propeties from the island. That in turn led to the embargo of Cuba. This is still in effect. President Barack Obama eased tensions with Cuba by lifting sanctions against the island.
Castro would spark the Cold War when he said that the United Socialist Soviet Republic (USSR/Soviet Union/Russia) and their nuclear weapons are welcomed in Cuba.
Castro would be sworn in as president of Cuba in 1976.
Castro played a role in the Elian Gonzalez affair. The Cuban government demanded the U.S. to return the boy to his father. The U.S. rightfully so by force. It was the iconic picture of a frightened boy with U.S. Marshals armed pulling him from a closet. The U.S. and Cuba would negotiate a refugee agreement after that.
Throughout the Cold War, Castro was considered a threat to the U.S.
Expect President Barack Obama and his successor, that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/dictator in waiting Donald J. Trump to respond to the news.
Cubans exiles are cheering the death.
The nation of Cuba uses economic Communism. Castro believed that the government should give the land back to the people and to defend the rights of the poor. Some didn't agree to Communism and opposed him. But all threats were quickly stopped. Some middle class Cubans would flee to Florida to settle after Castro threatened imprisonment and death to people who tried to overthrow him.
You probably grew up watching the hit sitcom The Brady Bunch. The carefree and down to earth mom Carol Brady was played by Florence Henderson.
It was confirmed overnight that she passed away. According to the junk food media she had passed away from heart failure. She was 82 years old.
Former co-star and reality television star Maureen McCormick who played Marcia was first to respond to the news that Henderson had passed away.
Henderson is probably the most famous TV mom. She was a single women with three daughters who married a widower with three sons.
She first graced television screens in the 1950s following a role in the musical Carousel in 1949 and other musical theater hits including South Pacific and the title role in Fanny.
The premiere of The Brady Bunch in 1969 made her an icon. The series made its debut and cultural tumult in the United States but remained invariably cheery and avoided controversy during its five seasons on ABC. It ran around the controversial sitcoms like All in the Family, Maude, Sanford and Son.
The Telegraph also noted that she appeared in The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, The Brady Brides, A Very Brady Christmas and The Brady's. She would often appear as a guest star in some shows including The Love Boat, LA Law, and Murder, She Wrote.
She and McCormick were contestants on ABC's Dancing With The Stars.
She made cameo appearance in the 1990s The Brady Bunch Movie and the 2016 movie 50 Shades of Black. She was a host of a cooking show on RLTV before her sudden death.
She will be missed among many including myself. She leaves behind four children.
Thanks to Florence Henderson for the many years of laughs and inspiration.
Vice President-elect Mike Pence with Republican lawmakers pose for a selfie. An all-White selfie. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) (in the red), House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and top members celebrate winning this divisive election.
The definition of irony. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Vice President-elect Mike Pence take a selfie. Along with Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), the Republicans do a "victory lap".
Notice the faces of most of Republican representatives. Except for the missing Black lawmakers Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) and Rep. Mia Love (R-UT), the Republican Party is practically an all White affair.
She has been in elected office since 2005. She has been a part of the status quo for over 10 years.
Name one thing that McMorris Rodgers ever done to shake up the status quo?
She is a part of the rank-and-file members who will take the low road to win. And she and many of her Republican colleagues are rewarded for their inept leadership. And in the 115th Congress, it will not get any better.
Ryan, the Wisconsin lawmaker will likely control the gavel again when January 3rd comes around.
Pence and the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/reality star Donald J. Trump will take office on January 20th.
This is an example of why minorities are considered worthless. Republicans bemoan about the Black vote strictly going to the Democrats. Now that their candidate won the election, the push for restrictions to curb early voting is off the table for now. The Republicans will still impose voter ID laws and restrictions to voting places in urban areas.
According to the Republicans, as long as they are in control, they'll be the "grown folks" in the room.
Unfortunately, demeaning President Barack Obama and his policies were their only accomplishment in Washington.
When Trump takes office, his first 100 days will be considered a honeymoon. The Democrats are lost in the woods. They will now have to find a way to bring back the voters who didn't support Hillary Clinton's failed presidential bid. They will have to speak to the White working class who still believe that Obama's policies "failed" them.
The Democratic Party might become the "Party of No". The Democrats will probably get more time on GOP Sundays now they're in the minority. They will be demeaning Trump and Pence. And the cycle of partisan rancor will continue.
I wish Donald J. Trump the best of luck. But he will not be my president and I will disrespect him they way he did to Barack Obama. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS WHITE LIKE COCAINE. IT'S 90% WHITE AND 10% WHATEVER ELSE BEING SMOKED!
