Rep, Gus Bilirakis and his ally got an earful from protesters.
Republican congressman Gus Bilirakis from Florida felt the Bern. He saw his town hall erupt into a heated discussion with his constituents. The Republican lawmaker got to talking about his goal to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act. His right hand man made an "alternative fact" about how the law (known as Obamacare) having "death panels".
There were boos and shouting matches between Bill Akins and a man who was a supporter of the healthcare law.
He was called a lair by the constituent.
"You called me a liar," said Akins.
"You are a liar...Own up to it!" said the protester.
Akins the secretary of the Pasco County Republican Party was making the claim as well.
Soon as the crowd got rowdy, Akins went on to insult them.
"Ok children, all right children," said Akins.
Many Republicans claim that the protesters are paid agitators. Of course, when they got the love and support of the Tea Party, the Democrats called them paid protesters as well.
See Republicans now figured that they had the wind in their sails. Well I hope that many Americans rise up and show the party that we oppose their agenda and we're going to fight throughout the entire four years of the fuhrer's presidency.
Nasty tension in the senate after Bitch McConnell told Elizabeth Warren to Shut Up!
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is the Majority Leader and he's a rotten piece of shit. He's by far the corrupt lawmaker in Washington, DC. His wife Elaine Chao is now the fuhrer's choice for Transportation Secretary.
McConnell is the face of the establishment. He's dirty. And it's unfortunate that the disrespect towards women and Black people is a part of his tradition of being the biggest asshole leading our Senate.
Senate Republicans voted to silence Elizabeth Warren after she read from a letter by the widow of Martin Luther King that criticized the civil rights record of Trump's nominee for attorney general, Jeff Sessions.
The marathon debate on the confirmation of Sen. Sessions, which stretched overnight and was ongoing Wednesday, came to a temporary halt Tuesday night when Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) objected to a speech that the Massachusetts Democrat was giving.
Warren quoted from a letter that Coretta Scott King wrote in opposition to Sessions, an Alabama Republican, during his attempted confirmation for a federal judgeship 30 years ago.
The letter said that Sessions, who was then U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, had used the "the awesome power of his office to chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens in the district he now seeks to serve as a federal judge."
McConnell and other Republicans said Warren violated Senate rules. The rule, No. 19, says senators cannot "directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (R-NY) objected to the ruling, calling it "selective enforcement" and citing previous apparent violations by Republicans that went unpunished.
At times in the past, Schumer said in a statement released by his office, Republican senators have accused their colleagues of telling "a flat-out lie," of "stirring up global hysteria to score political points" and of engaging in "bitter, vulgar, incoherent ramblings."
That last one came from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK), who last may denounced Schumer's predecessor, former Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) for what he called "cancerous leadership" designed to "protect his own sad, sorry legacy."
But Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), insisted that Warren's actions had no place in the Senate.
"Even if what she said was true, it wasn't the right thing to do," Hatch said. "I've been appalled at the way Democrats have treated Jeff Sessions."
He didn't grab her pussy yet. Trump's pick for Education Secretary is getting flogged for her inexperience.
The turd flipper Michelle Malkin called Barack Obama's cabinet and his wife Michelle a bunch of cronies. Malkin a frequent beeyotch of Obama is the most vilest woman of color to be given mainstream attention. She is a Filipino heritage and refuses to acknowledge her race as a factor to her success. She wrote the book Culture of Corruption to complain about how Obama's "lawlessness" created corruption.
Wondering if she's still running her flappers about the "lawlessness" of the current occupier in office?
Malkin was not a "HUGE" fan of fuhrer Donald J. Trump. They clashed in 2013 when he appeared at CPAC to address his temptation at running for the office. She called him a "crony capitalist" and a "conservafraud."
Trump in return called her a "dummy" and said that she would get no play if it wasn't for Sean "Softball" Hannity putting her on. She called him a "smear merchant" and hd in turn said she was "born stupid."
Many conservatives have warned about Trump's harm to the nation if he became the leader.
They said that it's a "grave mistake" to put an ego-driven, pro-government New York billionaire into the White House.
Now that he is the leader, are they still complaining about how "corrupt" he is?
Betsy DeVos is closed to becoming the Department of Education secretary and the Democrats are hoping to put the brakes on her confirmation.
Many progressives and even conservatives are concerned about this inexperienced billionaire who believes in school choice, voucher programs and Christian based education. They believe that her inexperience, her thoughts on public schools and colleges and her opposition to transgender rights has pit her in the crosshairs of the Resistance Movement.
She is one the biggest donors to the Republican Party. She gave a lot ot Donald Trump and many Republican senators.
It looks like Trump won't drain the swamp.
When Trump was a contender of the nomination, DeVos said that he was an interloper and a joke.
She would donate to failed candidates like Jeb Bush and perennial loser Carly Fiorina. She would settle with Marco Rubio before jumping on the Trumpster wagon.
DeVos has ties to Grand Rapids. Her husband Dick and his father Richard, Sr. are the CEO of Amway. They also have stake in the NBA team Orlando Magic.
So far there's two Republican senators who oppose the nomination. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) have signaled a "NO" to the nomination. Many Democrats are against it.
We aren't so sure about Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
They are pressuring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) to vote against DeVos. They are on the fence with this.
Her confirmation vote is today. It's likely she would get through.
In South Florida, the state investigators are trying to determine if this was justifiable defense or callous murder.
Reminder: A good guy with a gun is still a threat to the police. A good guy with a gun doesn't think about the consequences when they use it. They could create a situation that causes panic. The good guy could injure a person. To kill someone over property is just fucking stupid.
Property. Of all freaking things.
A person should use a firearm if they are protecting their own property, their family and their animals.
A corporation is capable of salvaging the lost or damaged products. The people who stole diapers will eventually be arrested for theft. But will Florida authorities arrest the guy who wanted to help a store detective?
Deputies says they were called to the Pine Hills Walmart after the shopper shot and killed a suspected diaper thief in the parking lot. This location is where a police officer was brutally killed by a man who murdered his ex-fiance.
Gunman shoots a shoplifter.
The shooting happened at the Pine Hills Walmart Saturday morning and the shopper opened fire out of fear for his life.
"What we have at this point is that the individual felt threatened -- one of the suspects reached for something [and he] thought that it was a weapon or firearm," said the Orange County sheriff. spokesperson Angelo Nieves.
The person killed was 19 years old and was shoplifting diapers with three accomplices.
They were loading diapers in a car when a Walmart employee tried to stop them, the station reported.
The shopper told deputies he showed up at this point to assist the store employee.
Deputies said after the gunfire the four suspects drove off and smashed into two cars. Three got away on foot while the other who was shot collapsed on the ground near a gas station.
The suspect was pronounced dead.
So here's a man who felt the need to be a fucking hero. An asshole who would shot a person who was unarmed and stealing diapers.
By the way, the white extremists are having a field day with this. They don't value the life of the victim. They celebrate this as a "service rendered". I mean, what kind of country do we live in?
Who the hell appointed this shopper to be a cop, a judge and an executor?
White extremists are a threat to people of color and religion. Since the fuhrer won the election, the ugliest elements of the country come out. To think that some idiot with a gun would believe it's "justifiable" to kill a shoplifter over diapers is pretty fucked up.
The fuhrer nominates Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
Neil Gorsuch is currently a federal appeals judge from U.S. 10th Circuit of Appeals in Denver. He is chosen to be the fuhrer's pick for the Supreme Court. This pick will replace the late Antonin Scalia who passed away a year ago.
Donald J. Trump nominated this judge for the court. Republicans are on board with this pick.
Democrats aren't. So it's likely a showdown for the spot. Democrats are seething over the Republican obstruction to Barack Obama's pick Merrick Garland. The Republicans held off the confirmation hearings and vote. It ended with Garland heading back to the federal court for the District of Columbia. Democrats vow complete obstruction to this guy.
Now the very same Republicans are warning Democrats to get in line or prepare for "nuclear option."
Conservatives are going to praise this guy. Progressives not so much. They're going to hate this guy and the very things he stands for.
The announcement came forth with the spotlights of a reality television show.
Gorsuch would be considered one of
the youngest judges appointed to the highest court. He is currently 49 years old and is married with children.
Terrorist was caught after he murdered his girlfriend and an Orlando metro cop. He also blamed for the unintentional death of an Orange County deputy.
While I was busy, I heard about the tragic death of an Orlando police officer gunned down after responding to a domestic violence call. The killer was caught without a shot fired but he was sure roughed up.
Now as he is facing trial for capital murder, the conservative agitators and the white extremists are now pointing the finger at BlackLivesMatter, Barack Obama and Black America.
So if they want to blame BLM and Obama for the selfless actions of this terrorist, then I should just turn it around and blame conservatives, the fuhrer Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio and the Republican Party for the actions of this terrorist. He has used his Second Amendment remedies to end the life of his pregnant girlfriend and a dedicated officer.
For the first time in 2017, a Black suspect in a cop killing lives to face trial.
For every corrupt cop, a good cop loses their life to the senseless gun violence. When they start charging cops for the murder of unarmed citizens, then the people of color will speak about criminal activity. When cops decide to breakthrough the Blue Wall of Silence, then it's possible for the community they've serve to get their respect. No one says thank you enough. And for good reason.
Now the terrorist Markeith Loyd was the most wanted man in Florida. He had assistance in his nine day escapade. He managed to slip the feds and state boys for that long. He had help.
The terrorist managed to kill 24 year old Sade Dixon after a dispute over him being the father of her child. He would put her brother in the hospital as well. He would survive the injuries.
Debra Clayton was gunned down after responding to the disturbance.
He was spotted at Walmart when officer Debra Clayton responded to the disturbance. He would put a bullet in her. She would die of her injuries. That sparked a police chase. While trying to elude authorities, an Orange County Boy Norman Lewis was killed in a motorcycle crash.
The terrorist is held in medical ward with armed police presence. He will be facing charges of first degree murder, unlawful killing of an unborn child, attempted first degree murder, and two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm stemming from that incident. The shooting of Clayton will likely be capital murder. He may face charges for the involuntary death of Lewis.
The deaths of Sade Dixon and Norman Lewis rest on the feet of the terrorist.
The driver of the vehicle that killed Lewis will likely face involuntary vehicular homicide charges.
The driver of the vehicle was a 78-year old man. Billy Jarrard will face the charges for that act.
They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
I won't offer condolences and sympathy. Words can't bring these people back. Locking these dirtbags up won't stop the ongoing violence here in the United States. Blaming everyone but the shooter will keep the cycle of violence going. So if you want me to show sympathy, it's not going to happen.
I would like to see Congress do something about the gun violence in the United States. But that's asking too much from a bunch of worthless lawmakers.
Sen. Cory Booker and many others oppose Jeff Session as the Attorney General.
Today is the confirmation hearings of the Attorney General. A controversial senator from the state of Alabama is the pick for the position. But his neo-Confederate ties, his past statements and his reaction towards the current issues in a post-Obama America are under fire.
Democrats are determined to fight against Republicans. They may lose this fight after the 113th Session pulled the "nuclear option" when it came to confirmation hearings. The 115th Session will quickly confirm nominees in this Republican controlled senate. They will now have the power to play moves they've longed complained the Democrats done during the eight years of Barack Obama's term.
New Jersey Democratic senator Cory Booker will testify against Alabama Republican senator Jeff Sessions in an attempt to block his nomination as the Attorney General of the United States.
Republicans faced criticism after they said they'll swiftly confirm fuhrer Donald J. Trump's picks for his cabinet and the federal courts.
At the Judiciary Committee, Booker will say that Session's record on civil rights and immigration will not live up to the principles of his predecessors.
The NAACP, the ACLU, many LGBT groups and immigration rights groups are opposing the nomination.
"I'm breaking a pretty long Senate tradition," said Booker when he was on All In with Chris Hayes.
"We've seen Jeff Sessions that's Senator Jeff Sessions --- consistently voting against or speaking out against key ideals of the Voting Rights Act, taking measures to try to block criminal justice reform."
Session was called "a threat to desegregation and the Voting Rights Act" by the NAACP.
The fuhrer and the squinty eyed bigot who he wants as the Attorney General.
So far Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) are strongly opposed to the nomination and will vote against him. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) signaled the same.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) are cautious about Sessions as well. Scott as the only Black senator who votes as a rank-and-file Republican had said that Sessions will get his vote after a "special emphasis". He is going to remind Sessions that his vote will be cast on the answers that are relevant to the current environment.
Given the time of racial and societal unrest, Scott did voice a bit of concern about the nominees.
Republicans demonized Eric Holder and his successor Loretta Lynch. Holder and Lynch are African American and they were attacked on their credentials and race by many agitators. Sessions was one of those agitators.
Fuhrer Trump, vice fuhrer Mike Pence and the beady eyed squinty bigot Jeff Sessions are a match made in Hell.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) resorts back to this Don Quixote nonsense.
Republicans threaten to repeal Obamacare. It may hurt over 30 million who signed up to the healthcare exchanges. The law is controversial. But Republicans still fixated on the past are willing to hurt Americans to please their hateful base of idiots.
We have the fuhrer Donald J. Trump coming to power in mid-January.
President Barack Obama urges Democrats to not lose faith. He says stay strong and fight.
Democrats vow to fight Trump and Republicans all the way.
Kentucky senator and failed Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul pissed off Republicans today. He said that he will support the repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act only if the law doesn't hurt the budget.
"I won't vote for a terrible budget just to repeal Obamacare," said Paul.
Paul's refusal to support the Republican resolution was not acceptable to him.
"Republicans won the White House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the House. And what will the first order of business be for the new Republican majority? To pass a budget that never balances. To pass a budget that will add $9.7 trillion of new debt over 10 years. Is that really what we campaigned on? Is that really what the Republican Party represents? Our first order of business will be a budget that never balances... and they tell us, 'Oh, but it's not a budget.' If you listen, they tell us, 'Oh, but it's not a budget.' If you listen, they will say, 'No, no, it is a vehicle to repeal Obamacare.' And yet I have the title in front of me. It says a concurrent resolution for the budget of 2017."
The latest accomplishment for a senator with no historical achievements is the grandstanding over principles.
The cautious tale of Republicans fight to repeal President Barack Obama's first term.
Republicans now want to be the grown-ups in room. After nearly 8 years of opposing about 95% of President Barack Obama agenda, Republicans are now eager to rollback the laws that helped stabilize the economy.
This vote on repealing Obamacare could be a dangerous move. If they kick millions off the insurance exchanges, it could lead to insurance providers to raise rates on everyone.
The resolution passed 51 to 48 vote. Republicans will gamble repealing the law without any replacement or alternative.
Republicans begin the 115th term with skepticism and distrust among themselves. They already faced a huge backlash when Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) was trying to get a House vote on rolling back the policies of the Office of Congressional Ethics. He was trying to strip the OCE of its independence and ability to investigate anonymous claims.
The fuhrer warned the Republicans to support the vehicle that helped his victory.
Again I say fuck Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Rand Paul, Republicans, this white extremist movement they labeled the "alt-right" and those who support them. Fuck this country and the systematic bullshit they masquerade as patriotism.
Val Demings, Congresswoman-elect from Florida. The former Orlando Police Chief will be a shield from the relentless attacks from Black coon cop David Clarke.
The Democrats have a badge. As of January 3rd, Val Demings will take her position as U.S. Representative from the great state of Florida. She is African American. She serves the Republican strong 10th Congressional district. The district was once held by insurgent Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL). She lost against Webster in a 2014. Webster retired from Congress this term leaving the seat up for grabs.
Before she was a Representative-elect. Demings was the police chief of Orlando, Florida.
She the daughter of a maid and janitor, Demings knows how the toughest route to success.
According to Ballotpedia, Demings is devoting her term as a lawmaker to making laws that are designed to creating and retaining good paying jobs. She vows to protect Medicare and Social Security.
Demings being a former police chief should resonate with the ongoing issues with gun violence and the police shootings of unarmed suspects. Hopefully she supports police reform.
Democrats hate this guy. David Clarke, Jr., the Milwaukee County sheriff is constantly elected as a Democrat but talks like a racist Republican.
She could defend or attack Black Lives Matter. I don't have no peg on her yet.
But certainly she could serve as the counter balance to another African American lawman who spits nothing but racially charged bullshit.
That coon David Clarke, Jr. is a pain in the ass. The controversial Milwaukee County sheriff is gleeful that his master won the election. The fuhrer Donald J. Trump and vice fuhrer Mike Pence are preparing for transition. They will rollback progress and cause such chaos when they take over.
For you see, I don't want Trump and Pence to succeed. I want them to fail. I want them to fail miserably and want the world to suffer because of them.
Hopefully I will hear more of Val Demings in the coming future.
Here's our unscientific poll for the last of the year.
What will you most remember about 2016?
Damn, who would've thought Donald J. Trump would become the 45th President of the United States. A billionaire with no political experience or the temperament to lead the world's only superpower makes me shake my head with disgust. His win was apart of the flagrant racism, sexism, Islamophobia, xenophobia and utter ignorance of the American people.
White conservatives came out for the former reality television star and business mogul. President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will have the opportunities to prove to their supporters they can actually "Make America Great Again."
And Democrats will now have to prove to their disgruntled supporters that they have fight in them.
With the defeat of Hillary Clinton, the progressive and moderate/conservative wing of the Democratic Party are at odds with each other. They are trying to find a viable path to winning in the 2018 Midterm and 2020 General. With four years on the line, Democrats have no real viable candidate to take on Trump when he wants to run for reelection.
Hillary Clinton will be the first woman in American history to be a nominee for a major party. Her loss was a slap to the face to the establishment, women and history. Thanks to the onslaught of misinformation, resentment, and a lackluster appeal to the hardcore left, she lost the electoral college but ended up winning the popular vote. Clinton blames the FBI memo, the conservative agitators, Bernie Sanders, and Russia for the loss.
Trump's win also gave Republicans a HUGE majority. The Democrats go down in flames after this election. Republicans have the White House, Congress and many state legislatures.
And they have the wind in their sails. Trump can sign off the repeal of Obamacare, swing the court back when he gets his nominees for the Supreme Court confirmed. Trump's inept behavior spells trouble for those who believe in progress. The Republicans have insulted and dog whistle through the eight years of President Barack Obama's term. We are reminded that White supremacy is still relevant.
It's unfortunate that we live in the society where Jada Pinkett Smith, Jesse Williams and Colin Kaepernick are attacked for being engaged. From #OscarsSoWhite to taking a knee to police brutality, Black entertainers and athletes have expressed frustration with the justice system.
When cops get away with murder, it makes the irrational target them. So many in law enforcement were lost in the wake of gun violence. And the police are overworked as well. They have to defend their honor from the corruption within their departments. They allowed Michael Slager, Ray Tensing and many other cops walk. Even with video evidence, it's nearly impossible to indict an officer.
Mass shootings continue to plague the United States. The most deadliest shooting in history was the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Omar Mateen, a former security guard went into a gay bar and massacred many people before the law him. The law involuntarily massacred the innocent in their attempt to stop Mateen. Then of course, the mass shootings in Washington state mall where Arcan Cetin massacred four people before the law caught him without a bullet being fired.
The shootings of law enforcement in Dallas and Baton Rouge brought attention to police officers being targeted in the wake of other officers murdering people of color.
Things must change. We must change things for the better and hope for a better future of all humans beings.
We lost so many this year. The biggest shocks were the deaths of Prince, David Bowie, Muhammad Ali, Natalie Cole, Glenn Frey, Maurice White, Denise "Vanity" Matthews, Gwen Ifill, Frank Sinatra, Jr., George Michael, Patty Duke, Joanie "Chyna" Laurer, Florence Henderson, Bankroll Fresh, Shawty Lo, Phife Dawg, John Glenn, Nancy Reagan, Antonin Scalia, Doug Banks, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Harper Lee, Rob Ford, Doug Banks, Afeni Shakur, Billy Paul, Kimbo Slice, Gordie Howe, Ricky Harris, Christina Grimmie, Miss Cleo, Janet Waldo, Elie Wiesel, Fidel Castro, Gene Wilder, Lou Pearlman, Jerry Heller, Thomas Mikal Ford, Arnold Palmer, Ron Glass, Henry Judah Heimlich, Janet Reno, Sharon Jones, and many others this year.
Not to mention the man who created the red Solo cup, Robert Leo Hulseman passed away this year.
I didn't have time to name everyone else who died this year but I want them to know that they all will be missed.
See you when I get there.
You know I wanted to keep this short and simple because you have to proof-read and reedit this stuff constantly. Hell I know I am not perfect. I don't have to prove to anyone that I'm not.
But in the next year, we'll be vigorous and motivated. I will address an issue that's personal in the coming weeks and give a rundown of the latest issues in my community, the government and the junk food media.
Again, thanks to S. Baldwin for allowing me an opportunity to help grow the blog and the many contributors who help as well.
Let's be motivated.
Let's be strong.
Let's be at least better a human......!
Farewell 2016! I'm ready for the new year and I'm motivated!
The inept Republican leaders will attempt another repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act despite high enrollment and positive results. Fuhrer Trump wants the law scrapped. Republican congress can't figure out an alternative. They could kick 30 million people off health insurance.
I dare you Republicans to repeal my healthcare.
The fuhrer and the Republican mafia continue to push forward their repeal and replace Obamacare objective. Even though it survived a Supreme Court ruling, millions of new enrollment, and working state mandated healthcare exchanges, Republicans rather see you lose your insurance and place you in a position where the healthcare industry will put you in the poor house for a just a simple visit.
With the 115th Congress having a Republican president, a Republican controlled Congress and the possibility of a Supreme Court pick who can rollback the law, it's likely Obamacare will be repealed.
Democrats are seething with revenge but no real plan to stop the Republicans from accomplishing their long held objective.
I certainly will waste no time burdening Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), my local congressmen Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) will signs calling a bunch of "pussies".
I mean signs and name calling won't do much. Death threats will earn you federal time out. Harassing them could lead to you being banned from government properties or events that host lawmakers.
Calling in to a radio show won't help much either. It only gets your voice heard and ease frustration.
What can you actually do with these pussies?
These pussies along with the rest of the Republican controlled Congress get healthcare for life. They get perks for being elected. They spend about 1/3 or less of their time actually doing their jobs. They spend most of their time taking earmarks and trying to get reelected despite having no reasonable accomplishments.
I mean think about how Turner's pork benefited the cities of Dayton, London and Xenia.
Think about how Jordan's pork benefited the cities of Urbana and Sandusky.
Think about how Davidson's pork benefited the cities of Eaton, West Chester and Troy.
They have no real accomplishments respectfully. The only real accomplishment is the fact that Jordan gets airtime on Sean "Softball" Hannity's show. Turner and Davidson are rank-in-file Republicans who vote with the herd.
Each of them show nothing but contempt for the status quo.
In my opinion, Turner and Davidson are likely to be the ones to be caught in a sex scandal.
Yet they are rewarded with another term and it's like nothing ever happened.
Some of Fuhrer Donald J. Trump's promises is to build a border wall that Mexico will pay for. He wants to have a Muslim ban. He wants to keep refugees from war torn nations from entering the U.S. until they go through extreme vetting. He wants to have Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines built. He wants to tear up the Iranian nuclear deal. He wants the Dodd-Frank banking regulations repealed. He wants to sue his alleged accusers of sexual harassment. He wants to replace the healthcare law because in his opinion it's a disaster. He believes that if we bomb the shit out of the Islamic State, we can win this endless war on terror. He wants punish companies that move out the United States despite some of his affiliates and his own brands being made in foreign countries. He wants to exit NATO. He wants to make our allies pay for military defense (but give special privileges to Israel). He also wants to keep the press from knowing what he's doing by regulating who gets press access to the White House (and Trump Tower).
He wants to grab the world by the pussy. Republicans are willing to give him what he wants.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and the Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) are willing drop their pants and let Trump get him some.
Republicans signal a fast repeal of the law.
Despite having no suitable replacement, the Republicans are playing their bets on a fickle voter base.
Obamacare as its called by the Republican mafia is actually known as the Affordable Healthcare and Patient Protection Act. The law was signed in two portions in 2010. The law requires Americans to enroll for primary health insurance. In order to keep cost low, the federal government gives exchanges to states to help low income or newcomers the opportunity to enroll for insurance without going through private providers. Some private providers pulled out because of the Republican kill switch. The switch allowed private providers to opt out when their costs outweigh the government's costs. You must enroll into a healthcare exchange before January 31 of the following year. If not, you might be penalized on your federal taxes.
Save your comments for Friday. I will devote a post each Friday to address the week. Make sure when you comment leave a name and a message. Anonymous comments are deleted.
Florida teacher got downgraded instead of fired out the cannon. He told Black students that in Trump's America he could ship their asses back to Africa.
Despite the outcry a Florida teacher will keep his job.
Hey, John Sousa, expect death threats.
This is the price you pay for infamy. You want to "joke" about sending the Black students in your classroom back to Africa because that controversial billionaire racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star won the election,
Face the consequences, you fuck face! Your ass should be standing at a corner of highway exit saying that "I was once a teacher, now I work for food".
No holds barred.....
I blame Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Rick Scott, and Marco Rubio for the actions of every person caught in the act of blatant White extremism.
This asshole was a teacher at Wesley Chapel High School. According to the local junk food media, Sousa confirmed to the school board that he confronted a group of Black students who were in the hallway.
"Where are you supposed be?" Sousa admitted asking. "Donald Trump will deport you."
Pasco County School Board meeting last week, Superintendent Kurt Browning insisted that the remarks were not a cannon firing.
"You've heard me say I'm a supporter of second chances," Browning explained. "That behavior is not condoned by this district. But there is a place for him."
For his part, he said that he didn't vote for Trump. He's not a racist. Yeah, fucking right!
He's being demoted to Mitchell High School. He will teach students with autism. But once word gets out I doubt he'll be teaching anyone or coaching golf anytime soon.
Famed astronaut and former U.S. Senator John Glenn passed away.
Sad news to report. The legendary astronaut and former Democratic senator from Ohio, John Glenn passed away. Around that time, he was hospitalized at the Ohio State University James Cancer Center. A specific cause of death wasn't revealed but at the time of his death, the family confirmed he was in dire straits.
Buzz Aldrin is suffering from declining health issues as well. He was in Antarctica when he was getting ill and had to return back to the United States. He was told of the news while in the hospital.
President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump were notified of the passing.
Obama said that "with John's passing, our nation has lost an icon."
"When John Glenn blasted off from Cape Canaveral atop an Atlas rocket in 1962, he lifted the hopes of a nation," Obama said in a statement. "And when his Friendship 7 spacecraft splashed down a few hours later, the first American to orbit the Earth reminded us that with courage and a spirit of discovery there’s no limit to the heights we can reach together."
Trump said in a tweet that the nation had lost "a great pioneer of air and space in John Glenn. He was a hero and inspired generations of future explorers."
Ohio governor John Kasich, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) were notified as well.
Glenn was the last survivor of the Mercury 7. He was selected in 1959 as NASA's first groups of astronauts. He became the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20th, 1962.
He was born on July 18, 1921 in Cambridge, Ohio to Clara and John H. Glenn, Sr. The family moved to New Concord when he was young. His father was involved in the business of plumbing. He didn't want to get into the business, he wanted to be an engineer.
He went to Muskingum College to study there. He dropped out to join the Navy. He was influenced to join after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In World War II, John flew 59 combat missions in the South Pacific as Marine aviator. He flew a further 90 combat missions during the Korean War. He survived skirts with enemy fire and lived to tell about it.
Around that time, he met his love Annie and she always had his back. They would have two children and live in Columbus, Ohio.
Glenn was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1974. Served from 1975 until 1999. He lost his first bid for the Senate from Ohio in 1970, after abandoning a race in 1964 because of a head injury suffered in a fall.
Glenn was briefly considered as a running mate for Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter in 1980. But a ponderous address at the Democratic National Convention – people walked out – caused Carter to remark that Glenn was "the most boring man I ever met."
Glenn sought the Democratic presidential nomination himself in 1984 but was quickly eliminated by eventual nominee Walter Mondale, Carter's vice president. His failure was all the more stinging because he had been touted as an early front-runner.
In the Senate, Glenn was respected as a thoughtful moderate with expertise in defense and foreign policy. But his career's luster was dulled by a Senate investigation of the "Keating Five" – five senators suspected of doing favors for campaign contributor Charles Keating Jr. The panel eventually found Glenn did nothing improper or illegal.
He took a leading role in seeking to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, especially to Pakistan. He was the author of a law that forced the United States to impose sanctions on India and Pakistan in 1998 after both countries conducted nuclear tests.
He also was a staunch advocate of a strong military and took a keen interest in strategic issues. He retired from the Senate in 1999.
Thirty-six years after his maiden space voyage, Glenn became America's first geriatric astronaut on Oct. 29, 1998. He was 77 years old when he blasted off as a mission specialist aboard the shuttle Discovery. He saw it as a blow to stereotyping of the elderly.
"Maybe prior to this flight, we were looked at as old geezers who ought to get out of the way," Glenn said after his nine-day shuttle mission. "Just because you’re up in years some doesn't mean you don't have hopes and dreams and aspirations just as much as younger people do."
Recently the city of Columbus renamed its airport John Glenn Metro Columbus International Airport.
The former was Port Columbus.
The skies are the limit for a legend. He will be sorely missed. Godspeed John Glenn.
The world is mourning the loss of Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro.
Fidel Castro, the legendary leader in the Caribbean nation of Cuba has passed away at the age of 90. World leaders have sent their condolences to the former Cuban president. Born Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, he led Cuba throughout the Cold War. He was icon in Cuba as well as her in the United States.
Here in the United States, I can only imagine how conservatives are screaming for joy knowing an "enemy" of the country is gone.
Castro was the leader of the 1959 Cuban Revolution. He lead a coalition of Cubans to overthrow U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Castro ruled the island nation for nearly 50 years. His supporters say that he was for the people. His detractors said that he was a dictator and cruel despot who suppressed opposition.
He would test the United States by thumbing his finger in the eye of 10 presidents.
In 2006, Castro would face ill health and couldn't lead the nation. He would pass his legacy to his younger brother Raul. Raul Castro announced the news on state television tonight.
Castro spent his final years in seclusion and made some appearances with foreign dignitaries. He would also take to a blog to talk about the world events. The junk food media over here broke into local programming to express their know nothing opinions.
He was born in Cuba. He was upset over the Batista government and how it was cruelly treating the people of Cuba. Castro was aided by guerrilla war strategist Che Guevara. They fought the Cuban leader and defeated him. Castro would become the prime minister of Cuba.
He would criticize the United States after the CIA-lead Bay of Pigs Invasion. He would ban all Americans propeties from the island. That in turn led to the embargo of Cuba. This is still in effect. President Barack Obama eased tensions with Cuba by lifting sanctions against the island.
Castro would spark the Cold War when he said that the United Socialist Soviet Republic (USSR/Soviet Union/Russia) and their nuclear weapons are welcomed in Cuba.
Castro would be sworn in as president of Cuba in 1976.
Castro played a role in the Elian Gonzalez affair. The Cuban government demanded the U.S. to return the boy to his father. The U.S. rightfully so by force. It was the iconic picture of a frightened boy with U.S. Marshals armed pulling him from a closet. The U.S. and Cuba would negotiate a refugee agreement after that.
Throughout the Cold War, Castro was considered a threat to the U.S.
Expect President Barack Obama and his successor, that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/dictator in waiting Donald J. Trump to respond to the news.
Cubans exiles are cheering the death.
The nation of Cuba uses economic Communism. Castro believed that the government should give the land back to the people and to defend the rights of the poor. Some didn't agree to Communism and opposed him. But all threats were quickly stopped. Some middle class Cubans would flee to Florida to settle after Castro threatened imprisonment and death to people who tried to overthrow him.
Loss prevention officer was caught on camera detaining a thief. The cameras were rolling when the thief said she was pregnant.
Tampa area woman faces grand theft and resisting arrest after she was caught shoplifting from Brandon Town Center in the unincorporated community of Brandon.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty. Richards Tiz Morris was detained by a loss prevention officer. The officer had to restrain her. The accomplice started filming and screaming at the officer.
She could face up to a year in the iron college for these charges.
She is telling him that Morris is pregnant and he's placing a chokehold on her.
Now as she is facing some time in the county lockup, Morris decided to lawyer up and threaten a lawsuit against JC Penney, the loss prevention officer and the Hillsborough County Sheriff.for her rough up.
The cellphone footage was shared on social media and it's gotten attention from both sides of the bandwidth.
JC Penny responded to the video. "We take the safety of our customers very seriously and we are working with local authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter."
Morris who has went by the name "Richarda" has geeked other businesses. She has a bid of time for geeking.
Hillary Clinton is working to help down ticket candidates. Will it help
Hillary Clinton celebrates her 69th birthday by campaigning in the crucial swing states. Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina are the key to her victory. She sees an advantage in plucking away three states that normally goes to Republicans.
Republican in the Congress are by far the most inept ever to run government. Running on the narratives of agitators in the junk food media, these lawmakers are determined to create scandals where none existed.
Take for example, the John Podesta emails. I don't give a damn about those emails. They are not really important to me. Yeah, this is a scandal for the Democratic nominee, but this is cake compared to the nonsense coming out of Donald Trump's mouth. The Republican nominee and his party are determined to make life miserable for Clinton if she does win.
Right now over 200 days and counting since President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court. Republicans said that they will not take up any nominee until a new president is sworn in.
The most inept members of the Republican controlled Senate will fight President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to the bitter end.
Now that it's looking likely Clinton got this in the bag, Republicans are taking back their pledge.
Embattled Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is leading by five in state polls. The senator and former presidential nominee in 2008 said that he and Republicans will oppose any nominee Clinton lines up in her administration. He walked back the comments after the junk food media called him out on his bullshit.
He already let the cat out the bag. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Ted Cruz already planning an opposition tour. Lee will likely win his senate race. Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) also likely to win signaled his opposition to a potential Clinton nominee.
Now Clinton, Obama and Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick have seized upon those comments as a way to prove that Republicans can't govern. Democrats are hoping his "senile" moment will hurt him.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) the Majority Leader has been awful stubborn about getting Garland through. Matter of fact, there are a handful of federal appointees wrangled up. It will Obama without most of his nominees confirmed.
Pathetic lawmakers Marco Rubio and Rand Paul will try for 2020 if the Republican nominee Donald Trump fails at beating Hillary Clinton. The two lawmakers failed at winning the Republican nomination. Now as a consolation prize, the two are looking to be reelected to the senate to protect their worthless leader Mitch McConnell's hold on the chamber.
It looks like they're cruising to victory in their bid for reelection. These two are the most polarizing and least productive members of the Senate. I don't understand why so many people are willing to elect these guys, knowing that they're planning on running for president again.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) are failed Republican presidential candidates who were defeated by Trump. They (along with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)) were hoping that they could defeat President Barack Obama's policies and the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at the ballot box.
Trump reluctantly gave his blessings to Rubio, Paul and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in their bid to keep the Senate in Republican hands.
Rubio is leading in some polls. But he is still being mocked as being robotic and inconsistent. He is taking on a Florida congressman who has little accomplishments other than defeating the one term asshole Allen West.
Here's the debate.
Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL), is a lawmaker who refuses to embrace President Barack Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. He's running on "I'm the independent" in the room nonsense.
However, Murphy was endorsed by The Miami Herald, The Orlando Sentinel, the Tampa Bay Times, and the Sun-Sentinel.
The newspapers say that Rubio being an opportunist. They called him out on flip-flopping about retiring from the Senate. They said that he and the Republicans are deliberately delaying the confirmation of Merrick Garland, Obama's choice for the Supreme Court. He blocked recommended nominees for the federal court. One candidate he personally asked the president to look at is being held up. Rubio refuses to support measures that could stop mass shootings.
"Floridians deserve a full time Senator who will show up and work hard for them for a full six-year term," said Murphy. "From fighting the spread of Zika to addressing gun violence, and strengthening our middle class, the issues facing Florida are just too important for part time leadership. Marco Rubio abandoned this state to run for President and has the worst voting attendance record of any Florida Senator in nearly 50 years. Floridians deserve a commitment from Marco Rubio that he won’t just use them as a stepping stone to run for President again in 2020."
"Unlike Senator Rubio, I love working hard for Floridians and I am humbled to serve in Congress. Floridians can trust that I will show up and fight for them for the full six years in the U.S. Senate. I have signed this pledge and made a commitment to Florida. I hope Marco Rubio will do the same."
The Pulse nightclub shooting, Jordan Davis and Trayvon Martin's deaths were examples of reckless people contributing to gun violence. The newspapers gave him some credit. He did support Zika funding after the mosquito threat was declining. He did support immigration reform before he retreated from it.
Little Marco (R-FL) shakes hands with Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL)
His lukewarm support of Trump is a double edged sword. He said that Trump has "little hands" and is a "con man" who has no business being near the nuclear codes. Not to mention that failed presidential candidate New Jersey governor Chris Christie tore him apart. Christie said that he's robotic. Christie went on to endorse Trump for president bucking Rubio, the Republican's last hope for winning.
The memorized 30 second stump caught Rubio off guard. Christie put a huge dent in his presidential bid. Donald Trump buried him in the dirt after that.
Mind you that South Florida is the only place in Florida where Marco Rubio won in his failed presidential bid. He's hoping to court on Cuban Americans and dissatisfied Floridians.
He's talking the same game as Rubio. Both candidates are flawed.
Given that Murphy was the serious candidate at the time. He roundedly beat Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) in a bid for the Democratic nomination. He is considered a moderate Democrat. He was formerly a Republican. He got tired of the party shifting from its practical base. I had him beating Rubio by 3 points in the previous postings. But so far I am going to correct myself on this. I will say that Rubio will win his reelection by 1.4 points.
Clinton is leading in Florida polls. She and the Democrats are going after Rubio and McCain.
Murphy baits Rubio by writing a pledge to not run for president after becoming a senator.
McCain said that if Clinton becomes the president, he and the Republicans will continue oppose nominees for her administration and nominees for the Supreme Court.
Obama went to Miami to aim at Rubio for his inept work as a senator.
"How can he call him a con artist and dangerous, and object to all the controversial things he's said, but then say, 'I'm still going to vote for him?'" Obama said to a boisterous crowd at a Hillary Clinton rally at a historically black college in this swing state.
"C'mon, man," he said.
"If you're willing to be anybody just to be somebody, man, you don't have the leadership that Florida needs in the United States Senate," said Obama.
Now if Florida does elect this turd back to Congress, he will spend more time preparing for president than doing his job.
John McCain is worthless. The "Maverick" said he and his fellow Republicans will oppose Hillary Clinton's nominees if she wins the election.
This is why Democrats need to retake Congress. Republican obstruction is too much. They have wasted over seven months holding off President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick Merrick Garland.
Garland who was selected shortly after Antonin Scalia passed away was roundly praised for being fair but the Republicans fear that his confirmation could tip the Court to the left.
When Scalia passed away, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) remarked that no nominee will come forth until the next president is in office. That led to Republicans rallying around this notion that if they can delay the nominees of Obama, they score a victory.
The president is none too pleased about the hold up. He urges Democrats to come out swinging.
In private, he wants Republicans to buried. Donald Trump has single handedly fucked up the Republican Party. He is openly saying things that Republicans say when the cameras are off.
And by the look of things, it's going to be a longer wait for the ninth spot if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency.
The failed 2008 presidential nominee clapping his choppers. And it may put his crucial seat up for grabs.
He and his fellow Republicans will oppose any Supreme Court nominee, a President Clinton brings to the Senate.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) distances himself from Donald Trump after the tapes were released earlier this month. Trump, the Republican nominee was pressured by RNC chief Reince Priebus to support McCain in his tough primary against Kelli Ward, a former state senator endorsed by many Republicans.
McCain roundly beaten her and is now facing a battle against Democratic challenger Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ).
The Democrats are pouring money into the Arizona race with senate candidate Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ). She is taking on worthless Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Hillary Clinton hopes to pick off Arizona from Donald Trump.
And unfortunately he's leading by eight in polls.
McCain who brands himself as a maverick and a bipartisan leader. McCain is hoping that his distance from Trump. He wants to win those who aren't familiar to Kirkpatrick.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) who is also facing reelection is mum on the comments. He believes that the president and future presidents deserve their nominee. However, he and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) held Obama's federal judges and Garland up for months.
The federal courts are in emergency crisis. Republicans on pace of having the fewest confirmations in the final term of Obama.
Glenn Beck isn't playing softball with the country's most annoying conservative agitator.
Donald Trump's presidential campaign has caused a civil war within the conservative media.
The war caused a rift that could strain within the movement. Many agitators on the right are really divided on a Trump presidency. The agitators were a part of a movement that dogged Barack Obama for the entire 8 years of his presidency with rhetoric that is deplorable.
One of the agitators made it clear, he'll sit this one out. Conservative agitator Glenn Beck said that even though Trump picked conservative Indiana governor Mike Pence as his running mate, he could not pull the lever for Trump.
Beck is the founder of TheBlaze Network. He created the network after being fired out the cannon by Fox News after a boycott of his 5pm show caused his ratings to tank. He moved to Dallas, Texas, bought a television station and livestreamed his radio show out of the studio. Now four years later, the network is on over 100 television providers.
The network also has conservative and libertarian agitators such as Tomi Lahren, Marcus Luttrell, Dana Loesch, Stu Burguiere and Buck Sexton. Most of the agitators on that network aren't fans of Donald Trump.
Beck believes that Trump's rhetoric is scary and dangerous to the movement he's proud to be a part of. He along with George Will, Mary Matlin, Steve Deese, Erick Erickson, Ben Shapiro, Michelle Malkin, Michael Reagan, Karl Rove and Bill Kristol made it clear, it's no to Trump.
Sean "Softball" Hannity is the country's most annoying conservative agitator. He is by far one of the worst agitators in the junk food media. He claims he's a registered conservative. In reality, he's a huckster who tells half-truths to his gullible audience. He can't go a day without mentioning President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump's name in sentence. He calls people names and acts like a man child when he doesn't get his way.
The Blaze, Newsmax TV and One America News are hoping to win over the #NeverTrump viewers. They figure that Fox News is devoting too much time to a bombastic billionaire who has no actual plan to make conservatism better.
The softball and Glenn Beck are feuding again. The truce between Sean "Softball" Hannity and Glenn Beck was short lived. Since the softball got the hots for The Donald, many conservatives see him as an opportunist who is willing to sell his soul to elect a billionaire who once partied with his opponent Hillary Clinton.
On the right wing carnival, the softball was trashing on Beck.
Beck called upon conservatives to come together to build a coalition in case Trump loses to Clinton.
The softball isn't having none of that.
"Glenn Beck was saying, 'Oh, we got to all come together after the election' -- I'm not interested in coming together with a bunch of saboteurs. I just have no interest in that, and people that are myopic... You sabotage, you stay home, you help [Hillary Clinton], and you own her Supreme Court nominees, you own her unvetted refugees, you own radical Islam being empowered because they know she's weak."
The softball said the blame of Trump losing falls on Republicans who refuse to support him. The blame falls on conservative agitators who joined the #NeverTrump movement. The softball called Beck a "saboteur". The softball is "sick and tired" of being lectured by "a guy that gives a Nazi analogy a day." He said that Beck and others are "myopic dicks'.
Beck rather play soccer. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Glenn Beck go to the border and pass out soccer balls and teddy bears to immigrant children.
He spent a portion of his right wing carnival blasting Beck and his co-hosts for not supporting Trump and expressing concern for the softball's flagrant support of Trump.
Beck fired back at the softball with class.
"Sean will always be welcome in my world. He is not my enemy. Nor is D Trump. Jesus didn't teach 'when you they hit you, hit back twice as hard.' That was from rules from radicals which is dedicated to Satan. It is also what DJT teaches and I have heard Sean say a lot lately... Please forgive me for whatever set you off this time. I am sorry we disagree on who we are going to vote for. I have voted for a Republican my whole life, starting with Reagan. I can't do it this time. I am sorry that this disappoints everyone so much."
Beck was a staunch supporter of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Cruz was considered the most conservative candidate running for the presidency.
Unfortunately, Donald Trump managed to get into the race and turned Cruz's asset as being an opposition to the establishment a weakness. He managed to go after Cruz for being inept.
Trump mocked Cruz and Beck for giving teddy bears and soccer balls to illegal immigrants. He questioned Cruz's birthplace. Cruz was born in Canada and was naturalized as an American and held duel citizenship with our neighbor to the North. Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship. His mom was born in the United States and his father was born in Cuba. The Trump campaign claimed that his dad, Rafael Cruz was associated with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Trump also whispered allegations of Cruz and Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL) cheating on their wives with staffs and agitators in the junk food media.
He mocked Cruz and his running mate perennial loser Carly Fiorina for being out of touch with voters.
Cruz at first didn't support Trump. He even went to the Republican National Convention to speak on behalf of Republicans but not Trump. He was roundly booed by supporters.
Beck praised the move.
But a few weeks ago, Beck was none too happy knowing that Cruz finally endorsed Trump for president.
Beck had feuded with Sean "Softball" Hannity and Mark Levin for nearly five years. They had called a truce in 2013. Beck had let the softball into his studio to do his right wing carnival.
