Golf legend and tea afficandino Arnold Palmer passed away. He is the legend of the game.
Arnie was considered the best of the best. He was the greatest player in the history of golf. He passed away in Pittsburgh tonight. He was 87 years old.
Palmer was known as "The King" of golf. The most recognizable faces in golf. Palmer won his first Masters Tournament in 1958, followed by three further wins in 1960s.
His agent, Alastair Johnston said that Arnie passed away from a heart attack. He was admitted to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian when he passed away.
Doc Griffin told ESPN that he was sadden by the lost of the legend. "I'm just so heartbroken about it. As much as Arnold Palmer meant to the world, he meant that much and more to me."
United States Gold Association issued a presser.
Arnold Palmer with lifelong friends Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
"We are deeply sadden by the death of Arnold Palmer, golf's greatest ambassador. Arnold Palmer will always be a champion, in every sense of the word, He inspired generations to love golf by sharing his competitive spirit, displaying sportsmanship, caring for golfers and golf fans, and serving as a lifelong ambassador for the sport. Our stories of him not only fill the pages of golf's history books and the walls of the [USGA] museum, but also our own personal golf memories. The game is indeed better because of him, and in so many ways, will never be the same."
Perhaps is the most memorable of Arnold Palmer was the rivalries from Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. They were known as the "BIG THREE" in the golf community.
They won seven straight Masters titles among them from 1960 to 1966 and hit ceremonial tee shots together at the Augusta National to signal the start of the year's first major. Palmer hits his first ceremonial tee in 2007; Nicklaus joined him in 2010, and Player was added in 2012.

Over at Stanford University, former House Weeper John Boehner had no love for Ted Cruz and his struggling campaign.
On tape, the former speaker said that he would never support that "miserable son of a bitch". He said that he's pretty cool with Donald Trump. He said of his friend John Kasich, that he has no real reason to be in this race.
"I have Democrat friends and Republican friends," the former House speaker said during a frank on-stage discussion at Stanford University Wednesday. "I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."
Boehner clowning on Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina.
Boehner, who retired from Congress at the end of October, also let loose on the two other GOP candidates in the race.
Boehner called Cruz, "Lucifer in the flesh".
When asked about the comments Cruz and running mate Carly Fiorina said that Boehner is one of the reasons why government wasn't working. He's giving credence to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Boehner lives in West Chester, Ohio. He was the Congressman from the 8th Congressional district.
West Chester is in Butler County. That county went to Trump in a 2:1 ratio.
Boehner is no friend of Cruz. He blames Cruz for dragging Congress into the crapper.
The longest serving House Speaker is the biggest pervert to ever exist.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert is heading to federal time out. He admits that he had numerous affairs with boys when he was then a coach a local high school. The former lawmaker from Illinois was the longest serving Speaker in history.
His legacy of hypocrisy came full circle today. The 75-year old was wheeled into federal court in Chicago to face the music.
The former Congressman will now head to federal time out for hiding money.
He hid money for one of his victims who ended up as one of his mistresses.
Now his reputation is forever tarnished as a child molester and pervert.
The judge put his ass in the federal time out for 15 months. Unfortunate it wasn't LIFE in the federal time out.
The former speaker says he's deeply sorry for this shit. Yeah, right!
This statute of limitations prevented him from being charged with sexual abuse.
Hastert must now register as a sex offender for the rest of his life once he exits the federal time out.
Arizona Cardinals get roll'd by Michael Jordan crying meme.
I happened to watch the NFC championship game between The Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals. The game was on Fox network and it was probably watched by 33 million. The X-Files reboot came right after the game.
The Panthers ran a train on the Cardinals. The Panthers will face the Denver Broncos in Superbowl L (50). They will play on February 7th at the Levis Stadium in Santa Clara, California Levis Stadium is home to the San Francisco 49ers.
The loss was hard for QB Carson Palmer and his team. The Panthers won 49 - 15 in an epic blowout.
Twitter mocked the Arizona Cardinals by posting a crying Michael Jordan meme.
Although we got a good laugh out of this, I want you to know that we need to understand that it's part of emotions that men have.
It's considered a stereotype among men. Men never should cry.
Men are often regarded as "strong and dominant". They are the protectors and enforcers. They are the leaders and the head of pride. They are the key to the door.
Of course, that's all bullshit.
Cam Netown poses with hip-hop acts Jeezy and Future.
We're living in a generation where men are still making twice as much than women. A man could make 3X more money than women for the same job. Women are rising in roles in business, government, technology and entrepreneurship. Single parents are leveling out but it's still exists in growing segments of urban America.
Men do cry.
John Boehner the former House Speaker was notorious for crying at events.
Oh, I forgot. Michael Jordan was at the Bank of America Stadium. Also Carolina QB Cam Netown was posing with rappers Jeezy and Future.
The former vice presidential nominee is now third in line in the power of succession. The House of Representatives voted today to place him at the gavel. He will now have the difficult task of trying to get the House in order.
The Republican lawmaker from Janesville was really reluctant to take the task, but for the sake of the party, he decided to jump into this.
Paul Davis Ryan, you got a big House. Mr. Ryan, the pressure is now on you to work with President Barack Obama and the members of Congress.
You will be the third Midwestern lawmaker to become the most powerful (and yes gullible) lawmaker in the country. You will be issued Secret Service detail and a cool perks being the House Speaker. You are going to make tough decisions that may help or hurt the country.
Many in the insurgency thought Ryan will be willing to compromise with the Democrats. Ryan also said that he will work with the president. He warned Republicans that he will not cave to pressure from either the president or a handful of insurgents.
The White House has called the new Speaker and wished him well.
His predecessor Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said that he will get the budget and debt ceiling debacle completed before he steps down. Today the House had passed the legislation. The senate will take up the measure. Of course, I am guessing that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will find ways to derail the deal.
He was the chairman of House Ways and Means committee. He held that position for a couple of years now.
Picking him was a controversial move.
The 1st Congressional District has a Cook PVI rating of Republican +3. His district is a swing that leans Republican.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) will now continue his reign on World News Today.
The failed vice presidential nominee is likely to become the next Weeper of the House. The controversial decision to place Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) in the position has many in the junk food media wondering if the party is capable of governing.
In the beginning, Ryan refused the position. He knew that the insurgents would attack him if he decides potential bipartisanship with Democrats and the president. He said that he wanted most of his party to support him.
He said that he doesn't want to travel constantly like Boehner. He still has children that are young and they always come first. Ryan doesn't want the spotlight on him. He believes that if he can't cut it as the Weeper of the House, his ambitions (i.e, governor or presidential aspects) could be ruined.
He actually loves his job being the head of the Ways and Means committee.
Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) give the middle finger to his fellow Republicans this month when he announced an abrupt resignation. That sparked a civil war within the party.
In the beginning Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) wanted the position. But when he went on that annoying conservative agitator's program to declare that Hillary Clinton's decline was due to Republicans pressuring her on Benghazi, he was slammed for putting their business out there.
Ryan who was hammered for his Project to Prosperity bill is now hoping for Republicans to guide him through another stand down with President Barack Obama and the next president.
Ryan was picked by perennial loser Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential elections.
The insurgent wing concludes that Ryan is "establishment". Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) isn't keen on Ryan. He and many of the insurgent "Freedom Caucus" wants Ryan to give them more input in bills and floor time. Ryan refuses to concede to Republican insurgent demands.
Conservatives also slam Ryan as being a "squish". The AM agitators like Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin and Michael Savage calling the party to resend the thought of Ryan being the House Weeper.
Before Boehner leaves Washington, he wants to thumb one more in the eye of the insurgents. He and Majority leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will rally members to pass a bipartisan budget and raise the debt ceiling for two years.
The budget deal and debt ceiling are going to likely be passed despite the obstruction from the insurgent wing of the Republican Party.
Ryan doesn't like the budget, but he will vote for it. Ryan also support rival Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) when he issues an impeachment hearing for the IRS head. Expect this controversy to go nowhere.
Meanwhile, ex-House Weeper Dennis Hastert plead guilty to lying to the FBI, wire fraud and extortion. He was caught up in a "hush money" scandal. He was secretly paying off his mistress. The mistress is a male prostitute he once mentored as a wrestling coach.
By taking the plea deal, he may end up getting up to six months to five years in federal time out for every charge.
Ryan hopes that his term as House Weeper doesn't become another disaster.
The insurgents who make up the Freedom Caucus vow to derail any Republican willing to work with President Barack Obama.
Some of the candidates running for Weeper of the House include: Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) and Rep. Jason Chaffettz (R-UT). They are running for the spot now that Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) left abruptly. He vows to leave Congress before the end of the year.
The turmoil began when Boehner's handpicked successor Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) screwed up on that annoying conservative agitator's show. He told the viewers that the Benghazi select committee was devoted to destroying Hillary Clinton at the polls. That created a shit storm within the party.
Before McCarthy was to place his bid in, he abruptly took his name out the running. Allegations of ineptness and an affair with Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) have swirled around the grapevine.
McCarthy is now fighting to stay on as Majority Leader.
Now the next handpicked candidate for the job, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Ryan is the former 2012 vice presidential nominee for the perennial loser Mitt Romney. The Wisconsin lawmaker is from Janesville and became a "rock star" during the debate over the debt ceiling.
Ryan kept a relatively low profile after the crushing defeat. He hasn't spoken much to Romney.
Ryan chairs the House Ways and Means Committee.
Ryan isn't really interested in the gig but is willing to do so for the sake of the party. The consideration of Ryan becoming the next Weeper has the junk food media talking.
The other candidates, nearly a dozen, all lack Ryan's stature and broad support and it's not clear if any of them could gather the needed backing to become speaker.
With the speculation of Ryan jumping in, conservatives are crying foul. They believe that Ryan is a "loser" and too cozy with Boehner. The outgoing Minority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) had praised Ryan for being a leader that could help move America forward.
They think he's soft on immigration and entitlement reform.
Ryan is a fiscal and social conservative.
Ryan wants a plurality of support from Republicans. He doesn't want no obstruction. He wants the Republicans to suck it up and help move the government forward.
Ryan made clear that family comes first and said he would be spending less time on the road than Boehner, who traveled nearly every weekend raising money for the party. Ryan, by contrast, has three school-age kids in Janesville, and wants to be able to continue to spend plenty of time with them.
"I genuinely worry about the consequences that my agreeing to serve will have on them. Will they experience the viciousness and incivility that we all face here on a daily basis?" Ryan said. "But my greatest worry, my greatest worry is the consequence of not stepping up, of someday having my own kids ask me, 'When the stakes were so high, why didn't you do all you could do, why didn't you stand and fight for my future?' "
Any thoughts on Ryan's potential run for the Weeper of the House?
Democrats are wondering if the possibility of Joe Biden entering the clown car could spell trouble for the two front runners, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Hillary Clinton.
The right hand man for President Barack Obama has been really quiet on his intentions. Usually around early months, the candidates declare their intentions to run.
The Democrats have a really weak field. Given that Hillary Clinton is the most strongest of the Democrats, her flaws have given an opportunity to Bernie Sanders. Sanders who is an independent who caucuses with the Democrats is the insurgent candidate. He is a Democratic Socialist and a progressive. He is one of the most vocal opponents of corporate greed. He often sides with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on many issues facing the middle class.
Sanders wins support from marijuana supporters, non-religious, young voters and progressives.
Conservative Democrats, the LGBT community, unions, working class Democrats and women favor Clinton over Sanders.
Pick one.
I don't know who's got the best advantage in winning the Black or Hispanic vote!
Right now, I am not inspired any of the Democratic candidates running. I am certainly not inspired by the Republicans. The Republicans are too damn extreme.
Biden entering could hurt Clinton. Many supporters of Biden think he can suck some of Hillary Clinton's most moderate supporters. Biden is pretty much straight forward on his views. He hasn't shift his views. The race could become a little more interesting if Biden does run.
I have a feeling that Biden might not run. Given the dysfunction in Congress and the utter stubbornness of some towards the president, many view Biden being a "third term" of Obama.
Biden will be 72 years old. He will be a perennial candidate if he chooses to enters the race.
Bernie Sanders is 75 years old.
Hillary Clinton is 69 years old.
Hillary Clinton so far leads against all the Republican candidates. That includes the insurgent candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson.
Majority Leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) are accused of having an affair. This shocking news may have caused McCarthy to withdraw his bid to replace House Weeper Rep. John Boehner (R-OH).
Did the insurgents set Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) up?
The Majority Leader withdrew his bid to become the next House Speaker. This shocking news has the nation talking. A shoe-in choice for the Speakership abruptly ends his bid to be one of the most powerful leaders in Washington.
McCarthy was confident when he went up to Capitol Hill yesterday. Now he's clammed up for some reason. A conservative activist may have pulled the curtain away.
The Freedom Caucus are causing total chaos. Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID), Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), and Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX).
This focused on the Majority Leader's personal life.
There's rumors going around about the Majority Leader being caught up in an affair.
Some are accusing the Majority Leader of having an affair with Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC).
This may have been one of the reasons to why McCarthy ended his bid to be the Speaker of the House. A Chicago GOP donor may have sparked the rumor. Steve Baer sent the email with the subject line: "Kevin, why not resign like Bob Livingston?"
Erick Erickson of RedState went to the AM dials to push the rumor.
He said that Ellmer's snarky endorsement of Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), almost sounding like a "spurn girlfriend".
"He has not spoken to me personally for my vote, and Jason Chaffetz has, so that’s where I am right now. At this point I will be casting a vote for Jason Chaffetz," said Ellmers, who is facing a GOP primary challenger.
"I can’t vote for someone who doesn’t ask for my vote. I’m apparently not high on his priority list," she added.
There's rumors that McCarthy and Ellmers may resign from Congress. That's coming from the banned Twitter twat Charles C. Johnson. The two deny the affair and thoughts of resigning. However, they've sure as hell run away from the cameras.
Now Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) postponed his walk of shame. The Republicans will go back to hammer out their issues before a floor vote is given.
The Republicans are in such disarray.
Some are calling for that pompous jackass Newt Gingrich to muscle his way back into Congress.
Many in the establishment hate Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL). They will not support them for bid. The establishment is begging Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to jump in. Ryan was famous for being the vice presidential nominee for perennial loser Mitt Romney.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is rethinking the House Speaker bid. The insurgents will likely try to derail his bid.
The sausage factory founded by insurgents, Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA), Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) vow to derail Ryan. They refuse to support candidates who are too close to Boehner. They believe Ryan is a failed candidate.
Again, I want to make this clear. What you doing in your house isn't my business! But if you're trying to pass laws that gets into my business: You're going to be exposed.
I don't give two fucks what goes on in Kevin McCarthy and Renee Ellmers's personal lives. They can have an affair. They're human. Love is powerful. We can't stop emotional feelings.
Nonetheless, these lawmakers are so fucking ridiculous. These are the lawmakers who scorn upon single parent households, people in need of state and federal assistance, and gay couples wanting to get married.
These are the people who believe the path to safety in this country is basically take away the freedoms from Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants and practicing Muslims.
These are the people who are pro-life when it comes to abortions but pro-death when it comes to guns and the death penalty. It's ridiculous.
Congress is extremely inept.
Republicans are going to hand the Congress back to Democrats.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is dropping his bid to be House Speaker and giving up his role as Majority Leader.
I don't think he's resigning from Congress, but he certainly not going to be the House Speaker.
In a secret ballot committee vote, Republicans select who's going to be their choice for the speaker.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) figured he didn't have enough support from fellow Republicans to become the new House Speaker. He formally withdrawn from the nomination. He also will end his bid as Majority Leader.
A big blow to outgoing House Speaker, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) who resigns at the end of the month. Boehner complains that the members of his own party are too extreme.
The members say that he "caves" to President Barack Obama.
The insurgency and establishment are displaying a full scale civil war within the Republican Party.
McCarthy cites conservative uproar over his Benghazi comments as a reason for him dropping out.
Last week, McCarthy gave Hillary Clinton a bone and she's ran with it. McCarthy appeared on that annoying conservative agitator's program to show and prove. He promised that Republicans will get tough on Obama. He said that Clinton's missing server and her struggling in the polls were a result of Republicans pushing this through the election.
He said that the committees spearheaded by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) made Hillary Clinton struggle in her presidential campaign. That launched a Democratic platform demanding the Republicans end the partisan debate over Benghazi.
Now Republicans are seething at McCarthy for giving the Democrats an opportunity to prove they're inept.
Rep. Jason Cheffettz (R-UT) and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) have promised to usurp McCarthy if he won the nomination. I guess they got what they wanted.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) isn't keen on either of them. He said they all are inept. He refuses to endorse Chaffettz and Webster.
Jordan is mad at Chaffettz for stripping Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) from a committee seat.
Many Republicans see Webster as inept if he becomes a House Speaker.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) threatens to usurp Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) coronation.
When you thought Republicans were done with their bitching, here comes the latest outrage from conservatives. House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may become the nominee. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) is resigning from Congress at the end of the month. He will also give up his role as the House Speaker. McCarthy thought it was a shoe in. I guess not.
But there's still a feud within the ranks. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) are plotting an usurping of power. The Republican insurgents are feuding with one another.
Chaffetz represents Utah's 3rd Congressional District. His district includes the city of Provo, Orem, and the rugged deserts of Utah. It's one of the Republicans Party's strongest congressional districts. The Cook Partisan Voting Index gives it +25.
Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL)
Webster represents Florida's 10th Congressional District. His district includes south of Orlando, Walt Disney World Resort, Winter Garden, Lakeland, The Villages, Leeberg, and Lake Alfred. The Cook Partisan Voting Index gives it +10.
Republicans are still fighting over leadership roles. They are fighting over how to work with President Barack Obama and how to make the fool the public into believing that the Benghazi hearings aren't political theater.
Didn't think this was hard! - Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader)
The insurgents have declared that Webster maybe their choice for House Speaker. But will they actually vote for the guy or continue to destroy the party within?
Now this Freedom Caucus is spearheaded by a lawmaker from my community. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) represents Ohio's 4th Congressional District. His district includes northern portions of Springfield, eastern portions of Lorain, northern portions of Elyria, Urbana, Lima, Sidney, Norwalk, Tiffin, Bellefontaine, and Marysville. The Cook Partisan Voting Index gives it R+9.
Jordan is an extremist in his own right. He often picked fights with Boehner. He and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) were responsible for the coup against Boehner. His Freedom Caucus has 40 members of the Republican insurgency.
He is the most vocal of the insurgency. He declares that each of them suck and he won't endorse any of them.
President Barack Obama endorses the reelection of Rahm Emmanuel for mayor of Chicago. Emmanuel faces mounting criticism over gun violence in the the city. The president has mentioned gun violence in his hometown. Republicans and conservative agitators are tone deaf.
How come Obama mentions gun crimes all over the place but ignores Chicago?
Does Haydia Pendleton ring a bell?
Well in 2013, the young Chicago girl was a part of her school's marching band. She was attending the second inauguration of President Barack Obama.
Two weeks later, she was murdered by ricochet fire in Chicago. Her death made the news. The president even mentioned her in his State of The Union Address. Outgoing Weeper of the House, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), rolled his eyes when the president mentioned her name and the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre.
I can tell you that Chicago has seen a decline in homicide by guns but the problem still exist.
There's even a website that tracks the homicide by firearms. It's called HeyJackass and it's a controversial tale of Chicago's gun violence.
Many of the concern trolls are balking at the president's tougher stance on gun control in the wake of the Umpqua Community College massacre. The president said the time is now to "politicize" this.
He wants gun control and I am definitely for it. Too many innocent lives are lost to senseless gun violence.
This stupid argument about a "good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun" is getting old.
The gun nuts are playing deflection bingo. They're trying to find ways to distract the American public from discussing the possibility of gun control.
The inept Congress, the NRA, the insurgents running in the clown car and agitators are trying to say that the issue isn't about guns. It's about mental illness and the president is "rushing to judgement" over a tragedy.
Yes, the Black community and Black Lives Matter talk about gun violence in Chicago.
Well this has been nearly 20 times and it's not getting any better. I swear on my life, if Obama didn't mention this tragedy, the conservative agitators would say he doesn't care about them. Their bitching about the Chattanooga shooting. When the president didn't react fast enough to the tragedy they were bitching about him not supporting the troops. He didn't lower the American flags in the wake of four military officers being slain by a deranged man. He took heat for that. The agitators solely focused on the terrorist's religion and race than the fact he had access to firearms and had mental issues.
When the Charleston massacre happened, the conservatives deflected from the fact this terrorist's race, access to firearms and political views. They initially thought the terrorist didn't have conservative views. They thought it was a whack job. They hoped it was a Muslim. Then when the terrorist admits it was about race, the agitators were quick to blame the president for making this about race. The agitators went as far to blame the president for advocating this terrorist because of the Obama's reactions to Michael Brown and Freddie Gray.
Nearly 400 shootings in Chicago this year.
Every time president mentions gun tragedies the conservative agitators turn this narrative about Chicago's gun violence. They act like they're concerned about gun violence.
Let's begin with that Loudmouth Bill Cunningham. The Cincinnati-based conservative agitator has a radio program during the AM middays and Sunday nights. Cunningham is often loud and obnoxious towards the president. He puts on this "concern troll" act about gun violence in Chicago. He claims the president doesn't talk about Chicago. The pathetic conservative agitator has a syndicated talk show on The CW.
We can include them fucking Black shitkickers Jesse Lee Peterson, Deneen Borelli and Kevin Jackson to the list of deflectors. I've heard these crazy ass coons rambling about the president not mentioning Chicago. They called the president a "racist" for talking about issues like Ferguson and Baltimore.
When you travel about 200 miles to Milwaukee, you'll find the tin horn cop David Clarke. The controversial sheriff of Milwaukee County is one of the umpteenth Black conservatives who rose to fame blasting the president. He runs this "what about my city, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, etc."
And each of those mentioned appeared on that network's primetime lineup. They appear mostly on that annoying conservative agitator's right wing carnival.
How many more will take before Congress actually gets the message?
Gun crime is the number one threat facing Americans. Gun crime is a bigger threat than terrorism, Ebola, measles, Iran and Russia.
Looks like the economy is stalling again. With China's economy stalling, global markets have seen a decrease in progress. China's economy is big enough to take everyone down.
U.S. employers added only 142,000 jobs in September keeping the unemployment rate stalled at 5.1%. That release closes out the Summer. Showing that a weak jobs report will result in the usual partisan blame game.
Weak job numbers assure conservatives the talking points saying President Barack Obama's policies have the country going in the wrong direction. Weak job numbers assure liberals the talking points saying the Republican controlled Congress have the country going in the wrong direction.
Average hourly earnings up just 2.2 percent from last year.
Employers decided to halt hiring causing a ripple effect on the economy. For the last two months, wages and hiring fell raising doubts on the economy. Is it strong enough?
With the service and manufacturing industry cutting hours and positions, many are finding it harder to obtain a better job.
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
U.S. factories are feeling the global chill and shed 9,000 jobs in September after losing 18,000 in August, according to the Labor Department's survey of employers.
The recent pace of job growth should have been enough to push the unemployment rate lower because only around 100,000 new jobs are needed a month to keep up with population growth.
But the jobless rate held steady at 5.1 percent. The unemployment rate is derived from a separate survey of households that showed 350,000 workers dropping out of the labor force last month, as well as a lower level of employment.
Average hourly wages fell by a cent to $25.09 during the month and were up only 2.2 percent from the same month in 2014, pointing to marginal inflationary pressures.
This terrorist massacred innocent lives at a community college in Oregon.
Now as always we point the finger at.....!
The tragic shooting in Oregon at the Umpqua Community College in which now a confirmed 10 people (including the terrorist) were killed. The town of Roseburg, OR is expressing shock and sadness.
The terrorist Chris Harper-Mercer is a man who had issues according to the law.
Witnesses claim that he entered the campus around 10 AM and started firing non-discriminatory.
Some said that he bucked the English teacher and ordered students to the ground. Ordering them up one by one demanding to reveal their religion. He would buck the ones who claim they're Christian.
Some say that he was shooting at multiple buildings. We can't confirm much other than the terrorist killed and didn't seem to care who he killed.
He was quickly killed by the law after he tried to aim at them.
President Barack Obama visibly angry over this. He said that this stuff continues on and its numb to the public.
He was 26 year old sociopath who probably was rejected by society. He claims that he is a non-religious conservative Republican. Some say he was "mixed race". Some say he was a supporter BlackLivesMatter. Others say he wasn't. The friends and family say he was the "nice guy".
The nice guy is the most dangerous person to ever own a firearm.
Oregon's Democratic Governor Kate Brown and President Barack Obama have sent their sympathies to the family and call for the time to pray for the victims. The Douglas County sheriff said that he will never speak the name of this terrorist. He believes that giving him name drops amplifies more extremism.
I don't give a flying fuck about his political views. I don't care who he supports. Regardless of this nonsense, this terrorist murdered innocent people.
The terrorist wanted name recognition. He felt that the more he kills, the more name drops from the junk food media.
Why?
Cause he can't win a date online.
Democratic governor Kate Brown express shock and anger at the terrorist. She promises a swift investigation into the motives of this terrorist.
Yeah, I have this problem too, but damn I'm not going to kill anyone over it.
This terrorist ruined the dreams of many. This event has sparked President Barack Obama to speak out against the inept lawmakers in Congress. Their refusal to pass a reasonable gun control law is partly because of the lobbyist influence on them.
The National Rifle Association is pushing the narrative that more guns are needed to prevent mass shootings. The Republicans in the clown car have express sympathy for the victims. They stop short of telling the public that we need to change course on gun crime.
Gun crime is the number one threat in America.
Almost every day a person has lost their life to firearms. Regardless of how these events happen, a person dies because of a gun violence.
The terrorist's social media comes into question. Of course in the blame game, the junk food media tries to unearth the political leans, the criminal history and the social activities to paint this terrorist as....a political football.
Okay who's going to be blamed for the Umpqua College Shooting?
A) BARACK OBAMA
B) BLACK LIVES MATTER
C) LIBERALS
D) CONSERVATIVES
E) CONGRESS
F) TALK RADIO
G) THE SHOOTER
H) ALL OF THESE ABOVE
If you picked G as your answer, then you're correct. This terrorist deserves all the blame for the actions rendered today.
However, if you're here to place blame on everyone else but the shooter, you're not helping.
I know that the right and the left both point fingers at politicians, media figures and agitators. I'm just as guilty as many here reading this. I can tell you that I'm not a fan of conservatives. Matter of fact, I can't stomach them. I've listened to them. I've read from their blogs. I've looked at the comments from internet trolls and pseudo commentators.
The moment the president spoke about the routine of mass shootings, I tuned into that annoying conservative agitator's right wing carnival. Right out the gate, he blabs about the president "politicizing" a tragedy. Well this would be the 15th time in his seventh year as president.
It shouldn't even be this many. That network and conservative agitators running with the "hatred of Christians" meme. Once again, there's no confirmation of what the motives are.
Also, the conservative Craigslist went down the "I" count and it was front page.
Matter of fact, the remarks in comment section have been utterly nasty. Not only to the president but to the staff and students of Umpqua Community College for not allowing guns on campus.
When it turned out that the terrorist was a conservative Republican, the shuck and awe became denial and political catnip for the left. Matter of fact, Jim Hoft's Craptopia is trying to debunk the claims.
He said that the social media profile of the terrorist is a bogus copy and paste from liberals.
See if it was a Muslim or even a Black man, Hoft would run like the bullshit he is trying to link everyone and anything to the left.
Rather than place the blame solely on the insurgents (i.e. The Tea Party, Republicans and conservatives), I rather place the blame on America.
Exiting with hands over head.
I blame the country for allowing this constantly to happen. I blame this country for neglecting our civil duties to protect lives here and abroad.
We have country that has over 145 gun incidents since Sandy Hook. About 45 school shootings since Sandy Hook. Many of these events got covered by the junk food media. Some haven't.
We have heard shootings of news reporters, movie goers, innocent bystanders, and campuses of schools.
Over 8,500 shootings (assuring death) this year alone. At average 43.2 people are shot a day.
Over 2,300 people have been injured by firearms. That means 5 out of 10 people were killed by firearms every hour.
We don't have the names of all the victims yet. I would love to show my condolences to them.
Me and S. Baldwin seen it happen far too often. It's a part of the ongoing cycle of violence.
The president is right on this. We've grown numb to these events.
Because after a few days, we'll be focused on another tragedy or another political football for the agitators to debate on.
Those families deserve answers and government that can solve them. Saying that you believe in the Second Amendment and you believe that laws aren't going to stop violence is bullshit.
Some get the opportunity to hug their children and parents. Others will have the tragic opportunity to bury their family member.
I own firearms. I don't have no reason to use them in any event. I've been spurned by women. I've lost my great job. I currently work at a job that I can't stand. I drive a crappy car. I've been profiled by law enforcement and I've been robbed by thieves.
Yet despite all the bad luck, I don't go around saying I'm going to kill the world for my failures.
People with mental issues are often the reclusive, the rejected, the spurned, the loner and the forgotten.
And yet, we allow them access to firearms.
Developments continue as they unfold.
World News Today send our condolences those lost in this senseless tragedy.
Indiana lawmaker exits stage right. Some pro got him for his phone and leaked a sex tape.
When you do in your home is your business not mine. But when you're on record saying that my business shouldn't even be mine, you're getting called out!
An Indiana lawmaker abruptly resigns amid a sex scandal. This lawmaker allegedly tried to sponsor a law that requires residents to take drug test before they were issued a portion of the safety net.
Once again, Republicans are inept in governing! This and many other state lawmakers along with the insurgents in the U.S. Congress have really made Americans distrust government.
Hopefully, the Republicans end up destroying one another before they destroy the country.
Indiana State House Majority Leader Rep. Jud McMillin (R) quit after telling several contacts in a text message last week, “My phone was stolen in Canada and out of my control for about 24 hours. I have just been able to reactivate it under my control. Please disregard any messages you received recently. I am truly sorry for anything offensive you may have received.”
Neither McMillin nor House Speaker Brian Bosma (R) have identified what the “offensive” material could be. But according to the Indianapolis Business Journal, it included at least one sexually-explicit video.
The Indianapolis Star has learned that the surprise resignation came after a sexually explicit video was sent via text message from McMillin's cellphone. It's unclear who sent the text or how broadly it was distributed.
The Brookville Republican sent a separate text message apologizing to his contacts for "anything offensive" they may have received after he said he lost control of his cellphone. Brookville is a town that is 75 miles from Indianapolis and 45 miles from Cincinnati.
McMillin, whose Facebook page says he is married, did not respond to messages from The Star seeking comment. He said in an emailed statement only that he has "decided the time is right for me to pass the torch and spend more time with my family."
The comic explains it all.
"Now I want to focus all of my attention on making my family's world a better place," he said.
McMillin said in a text message last week, "My phone was stolen in Canada and out of my control for about 24 hours. I have just been able to reactivate it under my control. Please disregard any messages you received recently. I am truly sorry for anything offensive you may have received."
McMillin was elected to the District 68 seat in southeastern Indiana in 2010. He quickly rose through the ranks to become majority floor leader and was widely considered one of the more ambitious lawmakers in the House Republican caucus.
"Our caucus is thankful for Representative McMillin's service to our state, and we fully support his decision to step down in order to focus on his family," House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
Jud McMillin appeared on this network to discuss his welfare drug test bill.
But some questioned his addition to the leadership team given his controversial past.
In 2005, his career as an assistant county prosecutor in Ohio came to an end amid questions about his sexual conduct. He admitted to a relationship with the complainant in a domestic violence case he was prosecuting, but he insisted the relationship began after he stepped off the case, according to the Dayton Daily News. He resigned a week after he stopped working on the case.
An Indianapolis Star investigation in 2013 also found that McMillin and other government officials in southeastern Indiana supported grants for companies to which they had close family or financial ties. In McMillin's case, he advocated for a $600,000 grant for a project involving Destination Brookville, a company he started and later ceded to his mother and family friends.
McMillin's exit is the second high-profile departure of a GOP House leader in as many years. Former Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, resigned last year amid allegations he helped kill a bill that would have hurt his private business interests.
It's also the second sex-related scandal to rock the Indiana House this year. Rep. Justin Moed, D-Indianapolis, apologized earlier this year after a website exposed his sexting activities with Indiana porn star Sydney Leathers.
Hillary Clinton slams Republicans and that network for Benghazi witch hunt.
This slip up by the Republican Majority Leader shows the public that the GOP is inept in governing!
Matter of fact, this could rebound Hillary Clinton's struggling campaign. She's not really struggling but the way the junk food media puts it, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is catching up. Vice President Joe Biden can join the CNN debate anytime he wants.
Hillary Clinton is not trustworthy and old. Whatever, however and whenever!
If the junk food media is so fucking liberal, why does that network lead in ratings?
If the junk food media is so fucking liberal, why is President Barack Obama still stuck in 40s?
Damn it, the junk food media isn't liberal. It's a part of a well oiled machine in which collects revenue from partisan debates, sensationalism, and repetitiveness.
The Republican slip of the tongue came from a California lawmaker.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) went to that annoying conservative agitator's program last night. He is jockeying for House Speaker. He explains to the annoying agitator that Hillary Clinton's slide in the polls were caused by the House Select Committee on Benghazi and the classified server.
He basically said that Republicans were devoted to pushing this Benghazi nonsense until the election.
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?” McCarthy said on that network. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable.”
Despite Clinton being cleared of any wrongdoing, the Republicans are now focused on her server.
Already fucking up!
They gave the talking points to the junk food media. They ran with it. Now in October, Clinton will head back to Washington to testify again about Benghazi and the server.
Clinton used her private email instead of a government sanctioned email. She said that no classified information was leaked to the press. Clinton admits that she had failed in transparency. Giving her potential run for president, she should have saw this coming. The Republicans are relentless in their "fact finding" missions.
The slip of the tongue caught wind at the Hillary Clinton campaign. The campaign slams McCarthy and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) for playing politics on the blood of Americans killed in the September 11, 2012 attack.
Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Clinton, called McCarthy’s remarks “a damning display of honesty by the possible next speaker of the House. Kevin McCarthy just confessed that the committee set up to look into the deaths of four brave Americans at Benghazi is a taxpayer-funded sham. This confirms Americans’ worst suspicions about what goes on in Washington.”
As you know, the country's worst attack on soil happened under a Republican president. September 11, 2001 is memory to the Republicans. The still act like their policies were beneficial to the country.
If you are debating over which event was the worst, you would pick 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.
Compared to Benghazi and the BP Oil Spill, Bush would lose this debate hands down.
We gave Bush a second term because of his "keep us safe" policies.
Cecile Richards testified in Congress. Many pundits think it was a big sideshow.
If fixing stupid was easy, Washington edition.
While I don't support abortions, I don't believe it's my right to tell a woman whether to keep an unwanted pregnancy. I think women should have the right to make this difficult choice. I learned that a few years back when I dated a woman who I had gotten pregnant with my child. She had an abortion.
Matter of fact, that was probably one of the worst experiences in my life. And most recently, a woman I've dated hid her pregnancy from me. She was pregnant with another man's child.
I learned that I'm too damn nice and I've almost given up on finding love.
The Republicans may stall the government shutdown. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) is weeping his last role as the House Speaker. His sudden resignation from Congress sparked a major civil war between the establishment and the insurgency.
Finger wagging from lawmakers. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is an insurgent.
The insurgency continues to push Republicans further to the right. They still are fighting battles they'll never win.
Women rights is a very important issue. Planned Parenthood is a women's health clinic that assist women in family planning, women cancer screening, sexual disease treatment, and provide assistance to abortions.
Republicans who hate "big government" believe it's their business to be in a woman's legs.
These Republicans are so fucking stupid.
A majority of Americans polled said that Planned Parenthood is needed. A majority of single issue Republican voters support stripping funding from Planned Parenthood and every abortion provider.
Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) and many of her insurgent members were disrespectful to Planned Parenthood CEO.
Cecile Richards, the CEO of Planned Parenthood was called to testify at a majority Republican committee.
Many of the insurgent lawmakers were interrupting her and tossing around baseless claims about the Planned Parenthood CEO. Matter of fact, they gathered their talking points from the secretly recorded videos provided by an extremist group masquerading as a firm.
The videos that were released in this year were heavily elected and doctored. These videos haven't stopped the Republicans from stripping Planned Parenthood.
They vow to shut down the government if they can't take away a woman's right to choice.
Any thoughts on this controversy.
By the way, insurgent Black lawmaker Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) got a chance to show the country how truly crazy she is.
Soon I will add Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to the list of many here on World News Today. The California congressman who became a rising star since the departure of Eric Cantor is thinking about becoming the next House Speaker.
K-Mac is the Republican Majority Leader. He represents the 23rd U.S. Congressional District of California. The district carries Bakersfield, a large city with a population of 376,000 residents.
The current district is centered in areas of the southern San Joaquin Valley and southern Sierra Nevada, the Tehachapi Mountains, and the northwestern Mojave Desert. It includes the cities of Mojave and Ridgecrest, as well as most of Bakersfield. Sequoia National Park and Sequoia National Forest are within it.
If he's picked to become the new Speaker, he will have a lot of work ahead of him. He will face an already invigorated President Barack Obama. Obama has won the summer.
Obamacare survived another Supreme Court challenge. Marriage equality is valid in the all states and territories. The Iranian deal will go into effect. Cuba and the United States are establishing friendly relations. Planned Parenthood will not be defunded.
Conservatives are demanding Republicans stand firm against Obama or face a primary challenge.
The president promises that anything the Republicans pass will fail. He concludes that the Republican civil war is damaging the party and hurting the country. The party has become more extreme in their views.
Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) the outgoing Speaker of the House blasted the insurgency. He believes that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) are false prophets. He believes these politicos are fucking stupid.
He announced on Friday that he's bouncing out of Congress effective immediately. In late October, Boehner will give up his role as the House Speaker and representative. He basically said to Republicans, "Fuck you! I'm Out! Good luck on getting things done with Obama!"
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may become the new House Speaker. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) were Speakers of the House. President Barack Obama believes Republicans infighting causing government shutdown.
Boehner's congressional district is up for grabs. Insurgents are looking to replace him, A right wing bigot sheriff named Richard Jones is considering a run for the seat. The Butler County Sheriff is willing to take his anti-immigrant, anti-BlackLivesMatter rhetoric to Washington, DC.
McCarthy on the other hand is hoping the Republicans will give him a chance. The insurgents are really happy with picking McCarthy as the new House Speaker.
Matter of fact, Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) is plotting to derail McCarthy's coronation.
The insurgent lawmaker announced his bid to become the speaker as well.
The insurgent and establishment are showing teeth. The departure exposed some real bad tension between Republicans.
Kevin Owen McCarthy (born January 26, 1965) is the House majority leader of the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. representative for California's 23rd District.
A Republican, he was formerly chairman of the California Young Republicans and the Young Republican National Federation. McCarthy worked as district director for U.S. Representative Bill Thomas and in 2000 was elected as a trustee to the Kern Community College District. He then served in the California State Assembly from 2002 to 2006, including from 2004 to 2006, as the minority leader. When Thomas retired from the House in 2006, McCarthy ran to succeed him and won the election.
The 23rd district, numbered as the 22nd District from 2007 to 2013, is based in Bakersfield and includes large sections of Kern and Tulare counties.
McCarthy was elected House Republican chief deputy whip, from 2009 to 2011, and House majority whip, from 2011 until August 2014, when he was elected House majority leader to replace the outgoing Eric Cantor, who was defeated in his primary election.
Ohio Republican governor John Kasich thinks Blacks are enslaved by "Democrat" polices.
My idiot governor is still in this clown car. He is hoping that people ignore his policies. He is riding this notion that people will ignore the noise and pick him as the nominee.
Our state has seen modest growth. But it has seen a rapid decline in population. Ohio's population grew 1.3% this year. That means if Ohio can't grow in population, it loses two congressional seats.
Ohio's unemployment is 4.6%. Kasich brags about his handling of the state. He doesn't realize that people hate his economy and they're exiting quickly to warmer venues.
If Republicans win the White House, the new president could ruin the progress of President Barack Obama and send this country back into a recession.
2020 is closing in and it seems like Republicans are likely to hold on to Congress throughout the rest of the decade. If they win in 2020, by 2022, Republicans will continue gerrymandering districts to keep a permanent majority.
John Kasich looks like Beetle Bailey.
Ohio governor John Kasich won reelection last year. He beat the Democratic nominee so badly, his mama felt it. Kasich carried nearly 30% of the Black vote. Him and Chris Christie appealed to Black voters. The Democrats lined up pitiful candidates and they got slaughtered.
The Blacks didn't really have a choice in who to vote for.
Kasich is now capitalizing off his "I got a Black friend".
Kasich is now going around telling voters that he can win the Black vote.
Like Jeb Bush, Kasich believes the Republicans are the party of empowerment. Many don't understand the Republican Party isn't for empowerment. It's the party of extremism. They can't even figure out which group their willing to piss off.
Kasich doesn't think Republicans and their idiotic policies and the looming government shutdown are the reasons for a struggling economy.
He believes Democrats (i.e. Bernie Sanders) are willing to give voters "free stuff" to win votes.
What amazes me, he thinks he could do it again now that he's gotten national exposure.
Kasich is polling in bottom tier. He has a measly 2%. He leads ahead of Rick Santorum, George Pataki, Rand Paul and Lindsey Graham.
The Republican clown car is starting to wane down. So far Scott Walker and Rick Perry bowed out.
Conservatives aren't looking for elected leaders as their nominee. They want candidates who have no experience in politics. That's why Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina are ahead.
Republicans fear these three insurgents will destroy their chances with moderates and on the fence Democrats.
Kasich also shared insight to the departure of Weeper John Boehner.
Boehner and Kasich singled out Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio for deliberately destroying the Republican Party and the country.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said that the "crazies" are running the Republican Party.
The New York Republican is not mincing words to the shocking announcement of Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) stepping down as Speaker of The House in October.
He said that the Weeper of the House gave Republicans everything. They can't pass laws when the Democrats block them. And knowing you can't get everything you want, the insurgency refuses to concede.
The insurgency pissed Boehner off. He gave them the finger. On his way out, he said behind closed doors "Fuck all of ya. I'm out! Good luck on getting your agenda accomplished with Obama!"
Basically the departure of the Weeper is a good/bad thing. For my community, a really bad thing. Boehner, despite his blubbering and immature outburst is really popular in the Dayton and Cincinnati metro area. His departure left a seat open for an insurgent or Democrat to take. It's unlikely a Democrat could win a politically Republican district. The 8th U.S. Congressional District for Ohio is +14 Republican.
The good is Republicans can finally push their extremist agenda and eventually be uprooted out of power.
New blood is bad blood. Already controversy within leadership. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA, Majority Whip) had once worked with former Klan leader David Duke. The potential Speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) will face obstruction from not only Democrats but the insurgency. Current House Speaker, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) bouncing out in October.
At the Voter's Value Summit, as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered the news, the audience stood up and done backflips.
We can confirm that the civil war within the party gotten even uglier.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) went off on the insurgency. “I think it signals the crazies have taken over the party, taken over to the party that you can remove a speaker of the House who’s second in line to be president, a constitutional officer in the middle of his term with no allegations of impropriety, a person who’s honest and doing his job. This has never happened before in our country," King said in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash on Friday. "He could have stayed on.”
Many of Boehner's allies have long complained about things not getting done because of a handful of insurgents who refuse to compromise.
House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) once called Rep. Peter King (R-NY) a "shit head".
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is currently the Majority Leader. He may become the new Speaker.
He will face challenges from the insurgency. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and a handful insurgents vow to disrupt the new speaker if Obamacare isn't repealed or Planned Parenthood defunded.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is shaking her head. She was once a Speaker of the House.
Pelosi managed to get things done despite having the insurgency oppose her. She would be sent to the minority after the Republicans recaptured the House.
President Barack Obama has also spoke out to the news. He said that the party's internal struggles are the reasons to why government isn't working. Obama praised Boehner as a patriot.
