BREAKING: Antonin Scalia Passed Away!

Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia passed away.

It was learned today that the Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had passed away. He died one month shy of his 80th birthday. He was 79 years old.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Justice Antonin Scalia.

A New Jersey native, Scalia was then a lawyer, a professor and a mentor. He mentored presidential candidate and current senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).

He was of Italian-American heritage and is the father of nine. He was married to Maureen McCarthy, a woman Scalia found love after having a blind date.

Scalia was appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1986, he served as one of the longest serving justices in the Court. He was known for his colorful and yet controversial stances on many issues brought to the Court.

Scalia said that the day will come when monumental change could occur. But as an originalist he wanted to keep things the way is was. He shown that type of actions when he became the influential decision maker in the District of Columbia v. Heller case. That stripped localities from issuing gun bans in the communities. The gun owners cheered that as one of the Court's biggest gun rights decisions.

Scalia was in West Texas. He apparently passed away of natural causes. He was a featured speaker and guest at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, a resort in the Big Bend region south of the town of Marfa.

He was attending a private party at the ranch. When he didn't arrive for a breakfast gathering, a bell hop went to the room and found his body.

The U.S. Marshals are investigating the ranch to make sure that issues there didn't result in negligence.

The nation's court is hanging at the balance.

Conservatives praised the justice for taking the ground on issues such as abortion, gun rights, tort laws and gay marriage. His death is a huge blow to the conservative movement.

Matter of fact, they feared this could happen.

Scalia's death has far-reaching implications for the Court and a set of major court cases are set to come down. One in particular deals with Affirmative Action. The Fisher v. University of Texas case was going to be a monumental decision. President Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration were brought up in the court. A split decision will void the case. The Republicans also threatened to bring Obamacare back into the Court.

President Barack Obama and members of Congress as well as the candidates had chimed in on the passing.

Obama will nominate a person to fill the vacancy. It will be certainly a fight with Republicans in the Senate. They have the majority. They can hold the nominee or call a vote to reject the nominee.

Already putting out a statement, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that the next president will fill the vacancy. The Republicans will pull bullshit moves to hold back Obama's nominee.

But eventually they'll have to vote on it.

It also makes them vulnerable to Democrat charges that the Republicans can't govern. Democrats warn Republicans that denying Obama a nominee will result in "payback" if a Republican wins the White House.

Republicans are in a situation where they have a no win situation. They can't deny the president his Constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice. They are allowed to run the clock out on the nominee. The Democrats can also force a vote on the floor.

Republicans are going to be fucked regardless of what they do!

We will keep you informed on this developing story.

Tragedy At A Glendale School!

School shootings are constantly happening.

While most mass shootings go unnoticed, a school shooting always seem to bring attention to the rise in gun violence. Last year over 33,000 Americans lost their lives to gun violence. I can assure you that over 2,500 people have lost their lives to firearms this year alone. And its not getting any better.

Okay, there was a tragic shooting at Independence High School in Glendale. Two girls were killed. This happened to be a murder-suicide. The motives of the shooter are unknown but I have that feeling that bullying or spurn relationships were the cause of the event.

The 10th graders at Independence High School in Glendale had single gunshot wounds and a weapon was found near their bodies, police said. A suicide note was located.

A shooting was reported just before 8 a.m., when the first classes were scheduled to start, said Officer Tracey Breeden. Officers found the girls under a covered patio.

Murder suicide over lover being spurned. 

"Although the investigation is not complete, investigators working the case say evidence found at the scene leads them to believe that one female took the life of the other female before taking her own life," police said later Friday.

According to police, detectives learned the girls were close friends, and appeared to be in a relationship.

The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office will make a final determination of the cause and manner of death. Police did not identify the girls, as Dorothy Dutiel and May Kieu, both 15 years old.

I don't know who shot the victim.

World News Today send our condolence to the victim of this senseless tragedy.

Teens Put On Ice After Pulling A N****r Prank!

Say if you were doing this and you thought it was funny!

A group of White teens who attended Arizona's Desert Vista High School posed with t-shirts spelling the word NI**ER. The girls left out the Gs in the offensive word.

This picture sparked outrage and it put the girls on ice.

The girls were wearing the shirts for senior picture day when a larger group of students wrote letter tees and posed to spell out "Best You've Ever Seen Class of 2016."

Change.org petition calls for the girls to be sent home without diploma. There has been over 10,000 signatures according to the New York Daily News. Matter of fact, the principal is under fire as well.

The principal said that giving them 5 days of freezer burn is acceptable. Not according to the people who created the petition.

This hurtful use of a racial slur is a complete disregard for the dignity of the black community in Arizona and across the nation and the punishment does not fit the total ignorance and cruelty of the crime.

The people of Change.org demand the resignation of the school's principal, Christine Barela, immediately for deeming this "5-day vacation" from school an acceptable punishment.

What did you learn in high school?

RacistGetFired blog outs them by name. In no particular order: Samantha Iannone, Emily Sears, Brooke Taylor, Riley Conner, Erin Lum, and Rachel Steigerwald were the girls involved in this.

The teens received a share of online bullying and death threats since.

There was a Phoenix city councilman who somewhat defended the girls. He said that they're idiots, but it shouldn't merit death threats and online harassment. Sal DiCicco posted on social media saying that school resource officers will try to calm the situation.

"They made a bad mistake as many teenagers do in life. But, any threats against these young women is going to be taken very seriously. The threats against these young girls is unacceptable."

For a few weeks, the law will monitor the school for potential threats upon the school and those attending.

Will the junk food media call these girls a bunch of thugs and miscreants?

You Betcha, I'm Palling Around With The Donald!

Donald Trump won the Tea Party Queen's support.

The former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin emerges from obscurity to endorse the controversial reality television star and business mogul Donald Trump.

She was the former vice presidential nominee for the John McCain campaign in 2008.

It comes as no surprise that Trump said that he would find a place for Palin in his administration if he was elected the president. Palin is a longtime supporter of Trump, and even backed his controversial call for a "complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the United States. Back in August, Palin raved about the businessman, praising him for "crushing it in the polls."

Matter of fact, this comes a huge blow to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) who is neck and neck with Trump.

Cruz wasn't thrilled about the endorsement.

I love @SarahPalinUSA Without her support, I wouldn't be in the Senate. Regardless of what she does in 2016, I will always be a big fan.

— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) January 19, 2016

She was the one who helped Cruz and fellow candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) win their bids in the U.S. Senate.

Iowa's Republican governor Terry Branstad also went forth to slam Cruz because he voted against ethanol subsidiaries that fuels Iowa's economy.

Tidbits!

Trump's staff throws out a woman who did a silent protest.

I've been down with the stomach flu and I'm getting some needed rest. While I was resting I found out some things while I was in the bed.

I realized that food to settle your stomach includes water, Gatorade, crackers, soup and apple sauce.

Also I heard that it could take up to 10 days before you can actually feel better.

I ate a sandwich from my job and I guess it was the thing that got me.

But as I am resting, I want to get a few tidbits out the way.

Donald Trump threw out a Muslim woman at one of his events. She was doing a silent protest and the supporters of the presidential candidate were shouting racial slurs at her.

Ted Cruz, the Texas senator running for president will not support a special force to remove immigrants living here without documentation. He also did a document drop. He showed his legal birth certificate. The racist right isn't too keen on Cruz. Even though, Cruz share a portion of their views, they're not hip to a Canadian-born American lawmaker running for president.

John McCain, the Arizona senator and failed 2008 presidential candidate may have the toughest primary fight ahead of him. An insurgent candidate is leading in early polls.

Powerball has went into historical feats. The Multi-State Lottery Association Game is $1.3 billion for Wednesday night's drawing. It's going to be one of the largest jackpots in U.S. history. The game is played in 44 states, DC, the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Sean Penn is facing questioning from the U.S. and Mexican authorities. He managed to score a talk with the world's most dangerous drug lord. El Chapo was busted over the weekend and it was revealed that his interview with Penn gave the law the break they needed.

Tonya Couch, the mother of Ethan Couch is heading to Texas to face criminal charges for harboring a federal fugitive. She is being held on $1 million get out free card. She could face up to 10 years for this charge. She is innocent until proven guilty. Ethan Couch is still in Mexico facing an extradition hearing.

Obamacare Repealed!

The clean shaven House Speaker managed to repeal Obamacare. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) had used a reconciliation tactic to pass a full repeal of the law and defunding of Planned Parenthood. None of the bills will become law as long as President Barack Obama is in office.

Normally, I wouldn't even give this attention. This has been the 64th time that the Republican Party tired to repeal Obamacare. This tactic used by the reconciliation has finally helped them succeed.

The Republican-controlled Congress managed to pass the repeal of the Affordable Care Act on party line vote. This time it heads to President Barack Obama where it's expected to be vetoed.

The House of Representatives is expected to pass a budget reconciliation bill that guts the Affordable Care Act, pulls roughly $450 million in federal assistance from Planned Parenthood and prevents Medicaid recipients from getting reimbursed for their visits at Planned Parenthood clinics.

Many in the junk food media believe that its classic showboating.

The Obamacare debate has been active since 2009. The Republicans vow to take down the historic health care law. It's been signed into law since 2010. It face two Supreme Court hearings and it was ruled in the favor of the president. But that hasn't stopped the inept Republicans from continuing their promise to scrap the law. They have no reasonable alternative at this moment and Democrats call this another excuse for why they are inept in governance.

The Republicans made this and terrorism their primary objectives. They want to repeal everything that the president has done. They plot on vilifying organizations they claim are going against their agenda.

Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have cited these issues as reasons to their rise in popularity among conservatives.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has told the junk food media the president finally is responsible for governance.

"It's up to the president to decide if he wants to side with the people whose health care costs have skyrocketed out of control, or the abortion industrial complex whose profits have skyrocketed out of control," Ryan bitched about to the junk food media Wednesday. "Congress is holding President Obama accountable."

Of course, Planned Parenthood dismissed Ryan and the Republicans. They said that the organization hasn't done anything unlawful and the 2015 videos that sparked their obsessive attacks are worthless.

Republicans are seething at Ryan for passing the massive budget overhaul that kept in place some of the issues Republicans wanted stripped out. Many conservatives see Ryan as worthless. It's only been less than three months since he's been the House Speaker and conservatives are tired of him.

Woman Faces Murder Rap In Las Vegas Plow Over!

Dazed look on killer's face. Woman plows into innocent tourists.

The junk food media released the name of the suspect involved in the intentional run over of tourist on the Las Vegas strip.

Lakeisha Holloway is facing a court date. She is being charged with murder. The charge could carry her LIFE in the iron college. The 24-year old woman plowed over 44 people while she had her daughter in the backseat of her ride.

The victim who died upon impact was a mother from Buckeye, Arizona.

Jessica Valenzuela was a 32-year old mother of three. She and her husband were in Las Vegas celebrating the 10-year old anniversary.

Jessica's husband and family describe her as "fantastic stay-at-home mother" who had started attending Bible study classes at church, having moved from Colorado in July. "I only met her a couple of months ago, but she was definitely faithful once she started coming, and I knew she was a believer," the First Southern Baptist Church's pastor tells NBC News. "She seemed to be a very sweet lady."

Oregon woman kills mother of three.

Holloway drove on the sidewalk at 45 mph.

Holloway a transplant from Portland, Oregon must have feel on hard times. But that gives her no damn reason to take it out on everyone. She got served with murder with a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of an accident, and child endangerment.

Holloway is innocent until proven guilty.

Holloway now shows an ounce of remorse.

World News Today sends our condolences to the family Jessica Valenzuela.

S'mores With Lindsey Graham!

The hopeless bid for president is over for Lindsey Graham. He suspends his campaign. It's not over for the South Carolina senator. He will still be agitating on GOP Sundays about "radical Islam" and how his buddy John McCain stood up to Barack Obama.

Looks like the clown car just booted another one out! Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced today that he officially dropped out his long shot bid for president.

"I must suspend my campaign," he said on CNN this morning. "I'm not going to suspend my desire to help the country. I'll probably go back to Iraq and Afghanistan and get another update. Thirty-six trips has informed me. But the one thing I feel really good about is I did it with a smile on my face. I talked about things that are important to me and somebody better fix one day."

Later, in a phone interview with ABC News, Graham said, "I'm just going to chill out today," adding he hasn't decided whom to endorse yet. "There's lots of talented people in the race: Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, others."

Graham, 60, had been included in the undercard debates during his campaign, struggling to garner any significant support in national or early state polls. "I’m far more confident today that our party will reject the Obama doctrine of leading from behind and will provide the strong leadership America needs," Graham says in a campaign video.

Thank you to everyone who honored me with their support. God bless our fighting men and women & God bless America. https://t.co/9qCM2qIu8p

— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) December 21, 2015

The South Carolina Republican Party removed Graham’s name from the ballot there, a letter from the state GOP confirms to ABC News. Today marks the deadline to have any candidate's name removed from the South Carolina ballot.

“This letter shall certify the removal of Lindsey Graham’s name from South Carolina’s February 20, 2016 Republican Presidential Preference Primary ballot,” South Carolina GOP chair Matt Moore wrote to the state’s election commission.

The move potentially spares Graham from a poor performance in his home state.

"I have offered a detailed plan to win a war we cannot afford to lose and to turn back the tide of isolationism that has been rising in the Republican Party," Graham, whose campaign for the presidency lasted 204 days, said in a recent statement. "I believe we made enormous progress in this effort."

Graham is a hawkish Republican on national security. He openly boasted that if you elect him, he would send the troops to Iraq and Syria to take on the Islamic State.

Graham and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) were fixtures on GOP Sundays. Since he announced his bid for president, the appearances slowed down. It's been mostly about Republican frontrunner Donald Trump and the insurgent of the month.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is the current insurgent of the month. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina deflated.

Graham isn't a fan of Trump, Cruz and Rubio. He blames them for the party's toxic environment.

Graham slammed Trump at a campaign stop. Trump in return told the junk food media Graham's phone number and he got swamped with death threats and insults.

Many conservatives aren't fans of Graham. For one thing, they think he's a RINO. They believe he's a closeted gay Republican. He's part of the Gang of Whatever, a group of bipartisan lawmakers who according to the right jams laws down Americans' throats.

This is the guy who complains about "radical Islam" and President Barack Obama not focusing on terrorism. He says that the president leads from behind. The funny thing is that Graham is leading from behind. He is a tool.

He is just as divisive as the leading candidates. It's unfortunate that he polled lower than Rick Santorum.

Santorum is by far the worst candidate to ever run for president. Santorum and Gilmore are way more pathetic than Graham. I mean they should just drop out as well.

Now who's going to go to the lower-tier debate? Likely Rand Paul and Ben Carson. They took the biggest nosedive in this race for the nomination.

Now the spots are lowered to 13.

Donald Trump - Reality television host/Business and media mogul
Ted Cruz - Current U.S. Senator from Texas
Marco Rubio - Current U.S. Senator from Florida
Ben Carson - Ex-neurosurgeon/activist
Carly Fiorina - Ex-business executive/activist
Jeb Bush - Ex-Florida governor/son of 41st and brother of 43rd
Chris Christie - Current New Jersey governor
John Kasich - Current Ohio governor
Rand Paul - U.S. Senator from Kentucky
Mike Huckabee - Ex-Arkansas governor/talk show host
Rick Santorum - Ex-Pennsylvania senator
George Pataki - Ex-New York governor
Jim Gilmore - Ex-Virginia governor

Who dropped out the race

Rick Perry - Ex-Texas governor
Scott Walker - Current Wisconsin governor
Bobby Jindal - Ex-Louisiana governor
Lindsey Graham - Current U.S. Senator from South Carolina

"Senator Graham has an incredibly strong and loyal grassroots network in South Carolina," GOP state chair Matt Moore said. "Given Senator Graham's huge [Senate] primary victory in South Carolina just last year, the Graham network could have a major impact on South Carolina's presidential primary."

But Democrats pointed to Graham's support of comprehensive immigration reform. "The one presidential candidate who has consistently favored comprehensive immigration reform just dropped out of the race after attracting virtually no support," Democratic National Committee spokesman Eric Walker said in a statement.

In a statement, Graham's close friend Arizona Sen. John McCain expressed his gratitude for Graham's bid. "It is a pity that a bifurcated debate structure kept his voice and views from the wider public that needed to hear them," he said. "With Senator Lindsey Graham’s announcement, Republicans lost our most qualified, thoughtful, fearless and honest presidential candidate, not to mention the candidate with the best (and it seemed sometimes the only) sense of humor."

Today, the old fart Rush Limbaugh rips into Graham. He also rips the Democratic debate. The old fart makes note of the restroom break by Hillary Clinton.

Trump's Muslim Remarks Ain't Gonna Hurt Him!

Not going to dent him. The negative is actually helping him.

The junk food media had said this before about Donald Trump's poll numbers being in trouble.

The Republicans said that "we don't know if this could hurt Trump with the voters". 

And like the last time, he ended up surging. The Republicans believe that political correctness is making their candidates too soft. They overwhelmingly support Trump when it comes to handling terrorism. 

Given his lack of experience in foreign policy, many Republicans believe that if you're too much of a fixture in Washington, DC, you're a nobody to them. Even Ted Cruz suffers. He's supposed to be the anti-government lawmaker. But since he's a fixture in Washington, many Republicans don't support him.

Republicans really have a real mess on them. The insurgents still support The Donald despite all the extreme rhetoric coming out his mouth.

Last night, Trump called for a ban of all Muslims entering the United States. The remarks grew a loud applause from his supporters, widespread condemnation from the Democrats and even the Republicans.

Trump made his remarks down in South Carolina on the commemoration of the Pearl Harbor attacks.

He read from a paper remarks from the junk food media. Trump at first blast the junk food media for being dishonest in his quoting. He called the junk food media, "scum". He reads a poll from the Center for Security Policy, about foreign sentiment about America from Muslims. 

The Southern Poverty Law Center said that the Center for Security Policy and its founder Frank Gaffney are anti-Islam and openly called for profiling of Muslims in the United States.

Trump gets riled up by the tragedy in San Bernardino. As he read from the paper he called for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. That remark got a thunderous applause from his crowd.

He said "we have no choice". 

He finished reading the paper by saying the sentiment from Muslims towards America is hateful.

He was on the USS Yorktown and told a crowd that American Muslims justify attacks on the country and support Shir'a law. The comments he read came from the Center for Security Policy.

For the Republicans, they likely agree with Trump's remarks. They just don't say that shit in the public venue. They say this shit behind closed doors and through dog whistle politics. Matter of fact, they wished they could have said what Trump said but they don't say it like that. 

They usually motivated by the words "radical Islam". Trump's remarks are equal to what the Republicans and their conservative allies say about Muslim everyday.

Anyway, the comments attracted major controversy. The Republican candidates quickly condemned him. Several fellow Republican presidential candidates were quick to condemn Donald Trump’s call Monday to end all Muslim entry to the United States.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham was first to respond, calling the statement "downright dangerous" to the United States, and he was quickly followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who called it "ridiculous" and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush who called Trump "unhinged."

Jeb Bush said via Twitter. "His 'policy' proposals are not serious."

John Kasich slammed Trump's "outrageous divisiveness," while a more measured Ted Cruz, who has always been cautious about upsetting Trump's supporters, said, "Well, that is not my policy."

Trump's plan also drew criticism from the heads of the Republican Party in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the first three states to vote in next year's presidential primaries.

New Hampshire GOP's chairwoman Jennifer Horn said the idea is "un-Republican. It is unconstitutional. And it is un-American," while South Carolina chairman Matt Moore said on Twitter, "As a conservative who truly cares about religious liberty, Donald Trump's bad idea and rhetoric send a shiver down my spine."

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Trump's proposed ban would apply to "everybody," including Muslims seeking immigration visas as well as tourists seeking to enter the country.

His campaign did not immediately respond to questions about whether it would also include Muslims who are U.S. citizens and travel outside of the country, including members of the military, or how a determination of someone's religion might be made by customs and border officials.

Instead, Trump said via a campaign spokeswoman: "Because I am so politically correct, I would never be the one to say. You figure it out!"

There are more than 5,800 servicemen and women on active U.S. military duty and in the reserves who self-identify as Muslim and could be assigned to serve overseas. Trump said in an interview Monday night on the right wing network, "They'll come home." He added, "This does not apply to people living in the country, except that we have to vigilant."

It was also unclear whether Trump's ban would apply to Muslim allies in the fight against Islamic State militants. Ari Fleischer, a former aide to Republican President George W. Bush, tweeted, "Under Trump, the King Abdullah of Jordan, who is fighting ISIS, won't be allowed in the US to talk about how to fight ISIS."

But at Trump's rally in South Carolina, the proposed ban struck supporter Shelley Choquette as reasonable, because "it's not going to be forever. I think everybody needs to be checked."

Religion can factor into immigration decisions, but that typically happens when people are fleeing religious persecution. People of a particular religion may get favorable treatment by the United States, as when Russian Jews sought to leave the Soviet Union.

In the late 1800s, Congress passed legislation broadly aimed at halting Chinese immigration. But said Leti Volpp, a University of California expert on immigration law, "there is no precedent for a religious litmus test for admitting immigrants into the United States."

"Excluding almost a quarter of the world's population from setting foot in the United States based solely upon their religious identity would never pass constitutional muster," Volpp said.

Trump's proposal comes a day after President Barack Obama spoke to the nation from the Oval Office about the shootings in San Bernardino, California, which Obama said was "an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent people."

The FBI said Monday the Muslim couple who carried out the massacre had been radicalized and had taken target practice at area gun ranges, in one case within days of the attack last week that killed 14 people.

Trump's campaign has been marked by a pattern of inflammatory statements, dating back to his harsh rhetoric about Mexican immigrants. He has taken a particularly hard line against Muslims in the days since the Paris attacks, advocating enhanced surveillance of mosques due to fears over radicalization.

"Donald Trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours," said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "He and others are playing into the hands of Islamic State. This is exactly what Islamic State wants from Americans: to turn against each other."

White House spokesman Josh Earnest accused Trump of playing on people's fears and trying to tap into "a darker side, a darker element" of American society.

From the Democratic presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders said "Trump and others want us to hate all Muslims" and Hillary Clinton called the proposal "reprehensible, prejudiced and divisive."

On Capitol Hill, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said, "It's just foolish."

But will it hurt Trump in the campaign? "I have no idea," McCain said. "I thought long ago that things he said would hurt his prospects, and he continues to go up."

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has also spoke out against the comments of Trump. The civil rights organization strongly believes the rhetoric from Republicans is sparking a rise in Islamophobia. They think that Trump is a demagogue.

Fred Thompson Passed Away!

Fred Thompson and his wife, author Jeri.

Fred Thompson was a senator, presidential candidate, talk radio host and actor. He gained critical acclaim as being the hardliner Manhattan District Attorney Arthur Branch on Law & Order.

The former Tennessee senator and 2008 Republican presidential candidate passed away today confirms his family. He passed away in his hometown of Nashville, TN today.

CNN reports that Thompson had cancer.

Thompson died after a recurrence of lymphoma, his family said in a statement Sunday. He was first diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma more than a decade ago.

"It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of grief that we share the passing of our brother, husband, father, and grandfather who died peacefully in Nashville surrounded by his family," the statement read.

Thompson, a Republican, won a special election in 1994 to fill Al Gore's vacate U.S. Senate seat. He was re-elected for a full term two years later and announced in 2002 that he would not run again.

As an actor, Thompson appeared in the films "The Hunt for Red October," "Die Hard 2" and "In the Line of Fire," among others.

"Fred stood on principle and common sense, and had a deep love for and connection with the people across Tennessee whom he had the privilege to serve in the United States Senate. He enjoyed a hearty laugh, a strong handshake, a good cigar, and a healthy dose of humility," his family said.

"Fred was the same man on the floor of the Senate, the movie studio, or the town square of Lawrenceburg, his home."

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Fred Thompson.

Insurgents Vow To Derail Paul Ryan's Bid For Weeper!

I'll run for Speaker if Republicans work with me!

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.

Look what the conservative Craigslist posted today.

KING PAUL: PLEDGE YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO ME...

DO IT BY FRIDAY...

HE'S A DEM FAVORITE...

OBAMA'S NEW PARTNER...

'F' conservative rating...

WANTS TO SCRAP THOMAS JEFFERSON'S RULE...

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?

Former GOP Chair: Good Honest White Folks Deserve Guns! The Blacks Ought Lose 'Em!

The Second Amendment only belongs to Whites says former Republican chairman.

Gun rights for Whites! Gun control for Black, Hispanics and Muslims.

It's proven that gun rights are exclusive. Today it was brought to you by some former Republican chairman. Obviously, there's a reason to why he's no longer the state party's chairman. It's the very fact that he's a muffling buffoon going to social media basically saying take rights from Blacks.

Hence forth why BlackLivesMatter. This guy values Black lives less than others.

He's one of those types who thinks like Ben Carson and Donald Trump. 

He thinks that political correctness is dooming the Republican Party. So he believes that the real problem to gun violence is Blacks.

Yes black lives matter. The best way to end the slaughter of young black men is to take guns away from blacks as they are the main killers.

— Randy Pullen (@RPullen) October 14, 2015

Great, blame the Blacks for gun crime.

Nevermind the fact we have illegal gun purchases through straw men. 

Nevermind the fact that people who suffer from mental illness are given access to firearms.

Nevermind the fact that a gun lobbyist group spends millions scaring Americans into stockpiling.

Nevermind that we have 90 people die a day by firearms. Over 45,000 people died in firearm tragedies this year.

If we had sensible background check laws, maybe we wouldn't have such senseless violence.

Pullen says the tweet was supposed to be taken sarcastically. When the local junk food media asked why he specifically mentioned black men, he said African-Americans are overwhelmingly loyal to the Democratic Party. He said he wanted these voters to understand that even though liberal politicians say black lives matter, their policies don't make black lives better.

"It's really not about guns that cause the violence. It's the lack of opportunities for groups of people who need opportunities to improve their lives. That's not what they're getting out of the last seven years and the economic policies the Democrats have."

Pullen says the Republican Party believes everyone should have access to guns because, ultimately, it's how you defend yourself regardless of the color of your skin.

But to this former Arizona Republican chairman, it's nothing but a gun grab by Obama.

Way to go, Mr. Randy Pullen, you're actually the one who wants to be a gun grabber!

Rupert Murdoch: I Long For A Real Black Man In The White House!

Rupert Murdoch jumps onto social media to say that he longs for a real Black president. The media mogul racially insults President Barack Obama, the country's first Black president.

Barack Obama had froze out that network and its parent company NewsCorp during his 2008 presidential campaign. He cited the network's ongoing and relentless attacks on him and his family.

Obama is currently the president. Matter of fact, he is the 44th President of the United States. He is the first African American to ever become the president. He is biracial. He identifies himself as Black. He is married to Michelle (nee Robinson) and has two daughters Malia and Sasha.

He was born August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He spend most of his life in Chicago, Illinois.

Obama became a U.S. Senator in 2005 and served three years in the Senate before he declared his intention to run for president. He face a bitter primary against then U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton.

Obama would defeat Clinton and former U.S, Senator John Edwards before becoming the nominee.

President Obama been with Michelle most of his life. Murdoch has went through three bad marriages. Who's a real man?

He would appoint then U.S. Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate and they would face Republican Arizona senator John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin, then governor of Alaska.

Obama would beat McCain in a landslide victory.

During the 2008 run, that network ran every trick out the book. The network would loop Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Muslim, socialist, spread the wealth, pigs with lipstick, proud of my country, bitter clingers, no experience, community organizer, being too Black (or too White) everyday on that network.

Obama blamed that annoying conservative agitator for being one of the driving forces to why he refuses to give interviews with the network. That network deliberately lies about Obama's policies and panders to a segment of society that many judge as extremists in their own right.

Obama had a private sit down with the president of the network and then CEO of NewsCorporation.

Obama was really angry with the way the network covered his campaign. He warned the network that if he becomes president, the network would shut out indefinitely.

In 2012, the network continued its relentless attacks on the president. The president had called out the network and its agitators by name.

The network was hoping perennial loser Mitt Romney would win. Didn't happen. Obama would beat the perennial loser in a landslide.

To this day, I haven't seen the president do an one-on-one interview with that network much.

Republican candidate Ben Carson with wife Candy.

The White House confirms that President Barack Obama will treat the network like Republican politician. Obama warned Democratic politicians and candidates about being on that network. They have to be on their A-game if they are challenged by the agitators. Democrats who appear on that network better be prepared to challenge every talking point.

The network was founded in 1996 by the Australian-born billionaire Rupert Murdoch. He launched the network in response to MSNBC and CNN's so-called liberal bent.

Murdoch appointed Roger Ailes as the president of the network. Ailes was a Republican political hitman and former agitator on cable news.

The media mogul goes to social media to show praise for Ben Carson.

Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.

— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) October 8, 2015

He cites a New York Magazine article about some Blacks expressing disappointment with President Barack Obama.

Read New York magazine for minority community disappointment with POTUS

— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) October 8, 2015

Then after a day of condemnation, Rupert finally apologizes for his "real Black president" comment.

Apologies! No offence meant. Personally find both men charming.

— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) October 8, 2015

Carson who is currently in second place after Donald Trump has seen his stock rise. In the wake of numerous controversies, Republicans are still supporting this guy. Carson is a Black Republican who gained fame by insulting Obama at the National Prayer's Breakfast in 2013.

Carson was once a commentator on that network along with Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina and numerous others.

Murdoch is a controversial figure in the media world. Many cite him as the reason to why the media sucks. They look at him as a slime. Murdoch tries to meddle into politics. He and top ranks over at News Corp send memos urging whisper campaigns against politicos who they fear may interrupt the conservative movement.

His tabloids overseas were caught a real scandal. They were caught wiretapping British politicians and celebrities. Some American celebrities living overseas were concerned that Murdoch's lackeys hacked into their phones and shared private photos.

Murdoch has went through three disastrous marriages. He's worth an estimated 354 billion.

Why Won't The Media Call The Arizona Concert Bum Rush A Riot?

Tempe concert went bananas! Will the junk food media call it a riot?

A radio station hosted an end of summer concert and some of the fans bum rushed the stage trampling over each other. In Tempe, Arizona, a large suburban city outside of Phoenix hosted this rock concert.

The local junk food media reports that two minors were taken from the Summer Ends Music Festival with life-threatening injuries.

Tempe's fire department, aided by fire departments in Scottsdale and Phoenix, came to the scene after getting reports that as many as 40 people were hurt at the event after concert-goers began rushing the stage.

Concert promoter Tom LaPenna told the Republic that the plug was pulled on Rebelution's set because of "a medical emergency." LaPenna worked to get the fans to move back and allow the medical professionals access to the area in front of the venue's east stage.

One of the headliners was hip-hop rapper/producer/reality turd Kanye West.

What is clear that people were injured! There were probably fans throwing rocks and bottles at the law. There were fans arrested and medical treatment for people dehydrated in the heat.

Notice the words. Stampede. Why don't they call it a riot!

What is missing out of this event, is the fact this is rioting and the jun food media didn't bother acknowledging it as such!

I watched World News Tonight on ABC and heard about this horrific incident.

The junk food media wa quick to attack rioters at the Hot 97 FM Summerjam Concert in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The agitators were screaming that the unruly Black concert goers were crashing the gates of Met Life Stadium. The fans were screaming and throwing things at the law.

So when will the junk food media  spend a portion of its time covering the riot in Tempe?

I mean a bunch of drunk White party goers who got upset over not enough beer, a lack of safety and a lack of water stations.

Hassan Rouhani: Republicans Are ___________!

Iranian president Hassan Rouhani will speak at the annual United Nations global leaders summit. He will discuss the nuclear deal. While in the United States, he had an opportunity to talk to CNN. He basically slammed Republicans and conservatives for scaring the world with fanatical rhetoric.

Iranian president Hassan Rouhani wanted to clear the record on the rhetoric being thrown around by the Republicans and their conservative allies in the junk food media. He basically said that Iran isn't the monster the media painted it out to be.

I agree with him.

A country of 80 million people. Out of those 80 million people there's probably a handful of extremists hoping for the deal to fail.

The United States has 321 million people. Out of those 321 million people there's probably 1/3 of the American public who believe that Iran is an "enemy" and the U.S. should engage in war with Iran.

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour asked Rouhani about the current Republican presidential race, specifically with regard to how the candidates are denouncing the Iran nuclear deal.

Rouhani knows a little about American politics. He knows that fear and bigotry exist in the United States. He knows that the Republicans are on the losing side of history. He believes that this deal could broker peace between Iran and the United States.

He didn't singled out the Republican clown car for its "end of days" rhetoric, but the way the party operates.

Rouhani said, “What is spoken of here in the United States of America… [is] quite laughable, it was very strange.” Iranians, he explained, view this “as a form of entertainment.”

The Phoenix I-10 Shooter Is Caught! Who's Gonna Take The Blame?

I-10 shooter held on a $1M get out free card.

Over the past three weeks, the fifth largest city in the United States was in a full blown panic. The areas around Interstate 10 were target grounds for a crazed gunman. The gunman would shoot at vehicles passing through the city.

On Interstate 10 between Interstate 17 and the Loop 101, many residents complained of projectile fire on their vehicles. A young teen was injured by flying debris.

The leads led to this man's arrest.

The Phoenix metro police aided by state and federal authorities announced they've gotten their suspect.

The suspect is a White guy who is in his early-20s. He's being held in Maricopa County lockup on a $1M get out free card. The man's motives aren't known but some figured he had issues.

The law said that he pawned a firearm after the pressure was on him. He said that he spent time with his family. Now the father of two is likely going to face 50 to LIFE in the iron college if found guilty of domestic terrorism.

So far, he denies he's the guy but many leads and his shoddy story doesn't help his case.

Anyway, the blame game.

Who's gonna take the blame for the I-10 shootings?

A) BARACK OBAMA
B) BLACK LIVES MATTER
C) LIBERALS
D) NRA
E) THE SHOOTER
F) ALL OF THESE ABOVE

If you picked E, then you're absolutely correct. It's a no brainer. But of course, if you're aiming blame at the other entities, then you're not helping. Matter of fact, why don't we blame the Tea Party for the shooting?

I can imagine that the folks over at Breitfart and The Daily Nothing blaming the suspect's motives on liberalism and Barack Obama. Whenever a White guy who commits a gun crime, they deflect blame on liberals and the president. Never the shooter's fault. It's always someone else.

Leslie Allen Merritt Jr., who was arrested Friday, shook his head as a prosecutor asked the judge to set bail at that mark at a court hearing, and the suspect took in a deep breath when the judge agreed.

The I-10 shooter in court. Leslie Merritt is a suspect in the shooting of vehicles on the busy freeway.

Police have said the suspect was "forensically linked" to the first four shootings along Interstate 10 in downtown Phoenix.

"The evidence as you will see in the next couple of days speaks for itself," Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves told reporters. "We're not going to get into a debate (with the suspect)."

Merritt was arrested while shopping at a Walmart in Glendale, a Phoenix suburb, according to Daniel Scarpinato, a spokesman for Gov. Doug Ducey.

Authorities got a break in the case after a 9 mm handgun was pawned, City Councilman Sal DiCiccio said. The pawn shop's owner alerted authorities after he suspected it was the same type used in the highway shootings.

Lab results showed it was the same gun used in four I-10 shootings on August 29 and 31, said Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Graves said Merritt pawned the handgun, which investigators collected from the shop. The gun was fired at the state crime lab and bullets from the tests matched bullet fragments from the four freeway shootings, Graves said.

Phoenix, AZ

It's unclear whether the suspect is connected to the other seven shootings.

"Are there others out there? Are there copycats? That is possible," Milstead said. "We will continue to investigate."

The suspect's father, Leslie Merritt Sr., told CNN affiliate KNXV-TV that anyone who believes his son is the shooter is " a moron."

Leslie Merritt is innocent until proven guilty.

The suspect has no connection to a man who was questioned by police about the shootings earlier in the week, Graves said.

Handicapping U.S. Senate Race!

Republicans will likely keep their hold on the Senate.

This has been a very unproductive year for the Republican-led Congress. The House and Senate have spent a majority of their time trying to oppose the president's policies and repealing the laws created from the previous sessions.

They are officially back to work. They got a highway spending bill to pass. They got to pass a budget for the fiscal year. They have to raise the debt ceiling. They have to authorize the president's military action to fight against the Islamic State. They also have to decide on the Six Power resolution on Iran.

The Republicans have signaled opposition to the Iranian deal. They have promised to pass a temporary stop gap bill for highway funding. They want to repeal the healthcare law. They want to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. They want to pass the reactionary Kate Steinle law.

President Barack Obama promised to veto any legislation that goes against his agenda.

So far the job approval of Congress is 13%. The leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) have been dismal at best.

By far, Republicans are fucked. The longtime lawmakers fear they may be usurped by insurgents.

Could the insurgents retake Congress once again?

Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) vows to beat Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL). The double amputee veteran could win. She could be the first Asian American woman from the state to be a senator.

My best thoughts on the U.S. Senate race include the ones the junk food media will focus on.

So far I count this as unpredictable. It's a matter of anti-establishment or anti-politician. It's a focus rather on Obama fatigue or the inept Republican led Congress.

The races so far are handicapped by SAFE, LIKELY, LEAN or TOSS UP.

Anything I say doesn't matter. I don't control the mind of a voter. But I will tell you that the Republicans have to the most seats up for grabs. The Democrats have the most to defend.

So far, if the elections were today, Republicans would retain seats and earn two. Democrats would retake two and retain most of their seats.

I can't predict the outcome but I guarantee that most of these candidates will survive an election. A few of them might have an insurgent challenger in the primaries. But who knows?

Alaska (Lisa Murkowski) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Hawaii (Brian Schatz) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Washington (Patty Murray) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Oregon (Ron Wyden) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
California (Barbara Boxer) (Retiring) (Safe Democrat)
Nevada (Harry Reid) (Retiring) (Toss Up)
Idaho (Mike Crapo) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Utah (Mike Lee) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Arizona (John McCain) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Colorado (Michael Bennet) (Running) (Toss Up)
North Dakota (John Hoeven) (Running) (Safe Republican)
South Dakota (John Thune) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Kansas (Jerry Moran) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Oklahoma (James Lanksford) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Iowa (Chuck Grassley) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Missouri (Roy Blunt) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Arkansas (John Boozeman) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Louisiana (David Vitter) (Undecided) (Safe Republican)
Wisconsin (Ron Johnson) (Running) (Toss Up)
Illinois (Mark Kirk) (Running) (Toss Up)
Indiana (Dan Coats) (Retiring) (Likely Republican)
Kentucky (Rand Paul) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Ohio (Rob Portman) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Alabama (Richard Shelby) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Georgia (Johnny Isakson) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Florida (Marco Rubio) (Retiring) (Toss Up)
Pennsylvania (Pat Toomey) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Maryland (Barbara Mikulski) (Retiring) (Safe Democrat)
North Carolina (Richard Burr) (Running) (Likely Republican)
South Carolina (Tim Scott) (Running) (Safe Republican)
New York (Chuck Schumer) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Connecticut (Richard Blumenthal) (Running) (Likely Democrat)
Vermont (Patrick Leahy) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
New Hampshire (Kelly Ayotte) (Running) (Toss Up)

The most competitive races I predict will be Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Illinois and Wisconsin.

These seats were won by Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Four states are controlled by Republicans governors: Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Colorado is controlled by a Democratic governor.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) the most vulnerable Democrat running for the senate.

Ron Johnson and Mark Kirk are the most vulnerable Republicans in this race. They have the most to fear because of the state's political leans. Scott Walker who is running for president has terrible job approval in his state. His bid for president could be an anchor for Johnson. Matter of fact, there could be a federal probe into Walker's office. Wisconsin voters are unpredictable. They have voted for Walker three times. He survived. Could Johnson survive?  He will likely face the former senator Russ Feingold. The Democrat was defeated in the insurgent wave. Feingold is considering another challenge against his old nemesis.

Kirk on the other hand has the most to lose. Kirk holds on the old seat once held by then senator Barack Obama. Kirk had an opportunity to retire when he suffered a stroke. But he held on to the seat. He also said some offensive things about fellow senator (presidential candidate) Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Kirk has to deal with the most competitive challenger the Democrats lined up. Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) has signaled her intention to run. She like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) have both served in the Iraqi War. She is a double amputee who won against an insurgent in 2012. She easily won her seat in 2014. The Democrats hope that she could built enough support to take on well funded Kirk.

Michael Bennet is the most vulnerable Democrat in the race. Bennet survived an insurgent challenge the first time, but could he face another one? Colorado Republicans have embraced weed legalization and a more stern stances to immigration. Insurgent Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) who faced him will likely sit it out. But the only candidate I can see willing to challenge Bennet is former secretary of state Scott Gessler. It's a toss up. Gessler's history could be a potential problem. Also the only Republican confirming a run is Darryl Glenn. He is an El Paso County commissioner. He has little name recognition.

Ohio's Rob Portman hasn't lost an election. He may face former Democratic governor Ted Strickland in this race. Portman is well funded and his job approval is decent here. John Kasich's run for president and his job approval may inspire Republicans to vote likely for Portman. He is one of the few Republicans to endorse marriage equality. He is also a political moderate who works with Democrats at some point.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is retiring. He is part of the gridlock machine that kept Congress at record low job approval. His retirement is a good thing for Washington. It's a bad thing for Democrats. They have a real good fight on them. They have to line up a candidate to take on the potential Republican. No candidate inspires me. Talk radio agitator Wayne Allan Root is too extreme. Shannon Angle is too dumb. Democrats are corrupt in Nevada. Who knows?  We'll see if there's a candidate willing to take the seat.

Florida's Marco Rubio decided to run for president. He can't be on the ballot twice. So he opt out for retirement to focus solely on the presidential run. He has nothing to lose. He may win the nomination. But then again, he may be a potential veep candidate. He, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) have chosen to take the gamble of being relatively unaccomplished politicians running for the nomination. Rubio's job approval is bad in Florida. The Republicans have to scramble to find a candidate willing to defend the seat. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL), a conservative leaning Democrat has signaled a run for the seat. I don't see any inspiring Republican challenger. The state is a toss-up for two reasons. Florida is a major swing state. Rick Scott sucks as a governor and his job approval could hurt the Republican nominee. Freshman insurgent Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) has signaled his intentions for the U.S. Senate seat. He recently won after Bill Young died.

Sen. Rand Paul is running for president and as a senator. Donald Trump put his bid in jeopardy. The people of Kentucky have soured upon Paul for his inept actions. He hasn't accomplish much as a senator and they're likely to reward him another term. But he may face a primary challenger if he opts out the presidential bid for the senate. Paul is an insurgent candidate who's got the most to lose. If he fails to get the nomination, he will continue his bid for the senate. As Trump said, why would Kentucky be willing to take a candidate who has failed!

Sen. John McCain from Arizona is by far the most annoying of the establishment. He will face a likely challenger from the right. He beat J.D. Hayworth in a primary fight in 2010. Trump mocked McCain on his status as a POW. McCain mocked Republicans for taking a tough stance on immigration. Trump used that as an advantage as well as his failed bids for president. His former running mate Sarah Palin will not endorse his bid. While the state is leaning as a swing, it's still has strong Republican hold. McCain running could be a safe bet. But given his standings with the party establishment and his inconsistent stances on issues, he could be beaten. Arizona will be a likely Republican hold.

Okay, what's your thoughts on this?

Jon Stewart: If You Smell Bullshit, Point It Out!

The end of the road for Jon Stewart. The Daily Show finished second to the Republican debate.

Thanks to Jon Stewart for 16 great years hosting The Daily Show on Comedy Central.

He ends his bid as the host of the political satire show. I mean the left is so disappointed he didn't want to stay through the 2016 U.S. Presidential Elections. Especially with Donald Trump running.

Trevor Noah will take the helm in late September. He will bring his A game to an already skeptical audience.

But as with the Stephen Colbert departure, it's going to be hard to accept but we'll move forward.

John Oliver went to host Last Week Tonight on HBO. He made an appearance.

Wyatt Cenac, Samantha Bee, Steve Carell, Jessica Williams, Jason Jones, Kristen Schaal, Larry Wilmore, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Che, Mo Rocca and Craig Kilborn made appearances on the show.

The best of the show was the appearance of Stephen Colbert. Colbert ended the Colbert Report this year to join CBS as the host of The Late Show. He got a big spot to fill now that David Letterman retired. Same standard. Colbert will bring his A game to an audience used to see Dave run the show.

His departure came around the Republican debate. Stewart would have found a whole lot of zen in this debate. Especially with the hosts of that network he called Bullshit Mountain.

Chief Roger said in a parting shot that Jon's efforts didn't stop his network. Matter of fact, Roger said that his impact helped bring more to the network.

Don't worry too much, I am guessing that Jon will turn up somewhere. Don't think retirement is the end of a career.

Well wishes to Jon Stewart and his family.

Chuck Schumer Supports War With Iran!

Got War?

Donald Trump is right about politicians. They're just too stupid to understand. But only in regards to being in the media offering nothing but talk and not action. GOP Sundays is often a place where Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) hang their hats at. But of course, we can't forget the two Democrats who seem to be in cameras too much. They offer nothing but the same bullshit that McCain and Graham serve up.

Two Democrats who often are featured on GOP Sundays are Senators Dick Durbin (R-IL) and Chuck Schumer (R-NY). They often have a counter balance to Republican opposition. But one decides to break from the norm. Schumer decided to go rogue. It's pissed off President Barack Obama and the anti-war left. Some are calling for a primary challenge to throw him out.

Well today, we can say that Chuck Schumer is siding with the Republicans on the Six Power talks.

Schumer will join Tom Cotton (R-AR), John Cornyn (R-TX) and the rest of the Republicans in opposing the Iranian nuclear deal.

What makes me angry is that these politicos are so fucked stupid. They actually believe that the people of Iran care about the United States. Yeah, there some who want this country to fall, but that's the very same folks who sound like conservatives in the junk food media.

Iranians live their lives in peace. The fear mongering of Republicans and their honorary member Chuck Schumer are willing to point missiles at 78 million people.

Benjamin Netanyahu got the nation souring on the deal. They believe that if they can say so much shit, people would question the deal.

The world approves of the deal. That means Britain, France, Russia, China, Germany and the rest of the world is watching how this deal is being worked out. Regardless the United States leads this and they fear that if Republicans and spineless Democrats sink the deal, it paves the way for a nuclear armed Iran. Of course, it could bring the United States into another costly war.

Like those who chant death to America, you have agitators on the radio demanding the president fails. That old fart caught flack for saying that he wants Obama to fail. No different than those extremists who want the ax to fall on America and Israel. It's just words, not actions. I would ignore that shit.

Iran has a right to defend itself from any attack from any foreign nation. Israel is going to throw us into a proxy war with Iran.

Schumer's opposition makes me sick. He is in the pocket of the AIPAC lobbyist who are pushing for more sanctions.

So today, I will make this clear! If we elect Democrats who support war, demand them to send their children, grand children and great grand children to the battlefields. Fuck that I would demand that the Congress would head to areas where them innocent victims are brutalized by our weapons.

Fuck Chuck Schumer.

I don't care what this clown says, he done the people wrong. Just because he a coward for change.

Just like Tom Cotton, just a pussy with a gun.

Trump Ain't Backing Down From McCain Comments!

The insurgency loves Donald Trump. He doesn't apologize for being real.

The Republican establishment want him gone now!

Martha Raddatz fills-in for the GOP Sundays. She's doing the dirty work for the establishment.

It's true. Donald Trump is placed in the top three. Between Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, Trump is in there and I think this interview may help him surge again.

For you see the insurgency is tired of political correctness. They are tired of Republicans being soft on everything. The insurgency is tired of the establishment. They fear that if they knee toe to the junk food media, they'll nominate candidates like Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and perennial loser Mitt Romney.

The insurgency is excited that Trump hits hard. And he doesn't apologize for anything. Trump was asked about what he would do for the veterans. He landed on the McCain mine when he was asked about the senator's days as a POW. Trump said that McCain is a "war hero because he was captured' but "I like people who weren't captured".

That got the establishment pissed off. The establishment is calling for Trump to end the show.

Trump is not stopping.

Now I can say that McCain suffered during his time in the Viet Cong. He faced torture. He had suffered mental and physical injuries. But McCain is often exploiting his misfortunes for political gains. He pulled this when he faced a tough primary against J.D. Hayworth.

McCain signals he's running for reelection for his senate seat. He will face another tough primary.

Trump says that McCain exploits his POW status.

This was a combative interview with Trump. I almost wanted to scream at the television listening to Raddatz try her best to get a defiant Trump to apologize to McCain.

Trump wasn't having none of that!

Trump laid another landmine for them to stomp on. At the Iowa Family Leadership Summit, establishment talker Frank Luntz was interviewing the media mogul and clown running for the red nose.

This comment about McCain came straight out this event. Trump got a standing ovation for his comments about the senator. Trump said that McCain aimed at him and his supporters. Trump basically told Raddatz that calling his supporters are crazy is like calling McCain a hero, none of its true.

Matter of fact he went further. He told Raddatz that McCain exploits being a POW. He said for McCain being a veteran who is now a politico, he's done nothing to help his fellow veterans.

He aimed at the Phoenix Veteran Administration which was the center of a major scandal that got Veteran Administration secretary Eric Shinseki fired out the cannon.

Trump told Raddatz that McCain called some of the his constituents a bunch of "crazies". Trump believes McCain is worthless. Trump said that because of McCain's talk, he lost to Barack Obama.

Trump said he doesn't need to school'd on how to lose elections.  He said McCain is soft on immigration and appears too many times on GOP Sundays just to talk, talk, talk and nothing gets done.

Raddatz tired to bait him with critics of Trump's comments. Trump dismissed the critics. He said these aren't the veterans that he has spoken to!

I gotta hand it to Trump. This is the stuff that Republicans are talking about.
