If criticizing the genocide of Palestinians by a brutal Israeli military is anti-semitic, then you're dumb as fuck!
Palestinians are being terrorized by a government that claims to be for the freedom of all people.
They are being evicted from their homes. The military and police are shooting children and raping women. And the junk food media always seems to be on the side of Israel.
I am so tired of the conservatives.
In a 3:1 fight, Israel is winning and we're paying for it. The United States gives billions of dollars to crooked foreign leader. President Barack Obama doesn't bow to right wing leaders. That's why fuck faces like Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu are so glad a Republican got into the White House.
They could string this dummy up and drag us again into another endless war.
Netanyahu and his Likud Party were none too happy after the United Nations condemned Israel for ignoring the settlement ban. The Israeli government continues to built in East Jerusalem and it's stroking tension with the Arab world. The United State, the European Union and the Asian Pacific Alliance are getting tired of this conflict.
The U.S. abstained itself from a voting resolution causing its passing. Netanyahu privately was calling Obama a "NIGGER". He said that Obama had tuned his back on Israel.
Well if Obama was really turning his back on Israel, he should pull the military aid.
As Obama leaves the White House, he leave the Afghanistan War and the semi-ongoing Iraqi War. The fuhrer Donald J. Trump will take over with ambitions that could spell trouble for world leaders.
He has no political experience and yet believes his "charming" personality will grab the world by the pussy.
Fuhrer Trump and Christian terrorist Mike Pence both are inept in governing but the ignorance has spoken.
The Times of Israel and The Daily Mail are doing dirt digging on the Netanyahu administration.
Netanyahu is facing a "criminal investigation" over bribery and fraud claims after police were handed new documents in the case, it has emerged.
Netanyahu saying that the investigation is bullshit and its Obama's plot to get rid of him.
Fuck Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and this White extremist movement called the alt-right.
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.

Woman body shames ice cream parlor worker. Justine Elwood is beautiful and deserves respect.
Ah, clickbait stories. The more the merrier. Tis the season to be nasty!
Especially to those in the retail field.
In the state of Utah, a young woman in Layton was insulted by a customer. The customer insulted the worker while she was serving her at Coldstone Creamery and then went to Yelp to go even further.
The woman called her disgusting.
"She was giving me dirty looks the whole time and it was kind of weird but I helped her and then she said 'if you continue to eat too much ice cream you're going to look like her,' and I continue to help her and that's it," said Justine Elwood, the woman who was body shamed by this slimeball.
It wasn't the end of this. The woman then took to social media to rant about the experience.
"Coldstone has been one of our favorite places to go as a family and enjoy quality ice cream, specifically the Layton location. Unfortunately, I have had a specifically unsatisfying experience the last few times we have come into the store. One of their female employees Jessie? Jennifer? J something, is disgustingly obese, and each time we come in, although she does her job, and is very polite, instantly makes my appetite disappear. I understand the need to hire bias free, but when someones [sic] looks interfere with my experience at an establishment [sic] I can't help but complain. As a mother I don't like my children thinking they will look that way by eating too much ice cream. Overall a good establishment with fast service, and delightful treats. We love Coldstone [sic] just not all the employees."
Her mom Daphne Moore Felley took to social media to ask for the name of the person who insulted her daughter. She was so pissed that she wanted to serve her a five finger roll with a side of toe jam.
"At first I was really angry and I wanted to find the person and say face to face what are you thinking to say that kind of stuff and then it turn to well, you might as well make a good thing of it because what are you going to do? Justine is the one who said she forgave her so after that we just thought we'd make something good of it."
Felley managed to get Yelp to remove the post but she demands the public to out this Elanie S.
"I need everyone's help, especially in the Layton area!! Find this horrible woman Elaine S!! This awful person posted this on Yelp about someone very special to me and belittled her to her face! Please if you know of a woman with children in Layton that goes by the name Elaine, last name starts with S, please let me know and share so we can stop this bullying!! Thanks Daph."
Once Justine returned back to work, she was greeted with heartwarming. People across the city and nation gave her support. She was thankful for the kind words of the community.
Of course in Donald J. Trump's America, fat shaming is real. The controversial billionaire/racist/sex ist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star will be your next fuhrer.
He and his Christian extremist partner will rollback the good that President Barack Obama accomplished.
You're beautiful, Justine. Ignore the haters and stay true! Ignore the hate.
Fuck what that beeyotch says!
Hopefully when they find this trash, the junk food media will take her out!
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.
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.
The Republicans are panicking. Donald Trump really fucked up!
He is going into Sunday's debate a wounded candidate. The Republican nominee got hit with his own words. He said some derogatory comments about an Access Hollywood reporter. It was revealed that then host Nancy O'Dell was the person Trump was talking about.
Now prominent Republicans are denouncing him and some are calling for him to exit stage right.
Not Conceding.
Trump refuses to concede. He warns that the gloves are off and he will play on Bill Clinton's affairs at the townhall debate. He will focus on Hillary Clinton's emails and the status quo.
Trump slams the junk food media for ignoring the Clinton email document drop. In reality, it wasn't ignored. Wikileaks obtained emails from John Podesta, Clinton's top political strategist.
Some of the emails have Clinton talking about her positions and how much she was paid for these speeches to Wall Street. Democrats and the intelligence community blame Russia for the leaks.
Podesta dismissed the leaks. He said that the emails are altered. Most Democrats aren't concerned about the emails. They're concerned about the nasty comments made by Trump.
Bill Clinton on the campaign trail was heckled by a person. The person shouted "rapist" and the audience booed him. Clinton wasn't even fazed by the comments. T he protester was removed.
Desperation hits the conservatives. The struggling Matt Drudge links a partial video of President Barack Obama talking to members of the Harvard Business Review. He reads quotes from Black leaders and Drudge posts "Gotta have them ribs and pussy tool" on the link.
Of course, the Republicans are falling flat on their face.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) was heckled by the protesters. He disinvited Trump from the annual picnic of Republicans, Pence also took a pass on the event. He went to Indianapolis to regroup.
Trump is imploding and he's gonna take Republicans with him.
Republicans will have to cut ties to Trump, The Drudge Report, Fox News, old fart Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity. They're too damn toxic to the party. If they continue to listen, read or stay stuck in a bubble, prepare for more losses in the future.
Time to go..! Republicans are extremely bad at what they do.
In the wake of a mass shooting, the Congress continues to be inept.
Congress continues to support terrorism by allowing them access to firearms. The four amendments that could prevent access to firearms if you're on a terrorist watch list failed.
Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Joe Manchin (D-MT) aided the Republicans in crashing the bills.
The background check amendment failed, the terrorist watch list amendment and the semi automatic weapons ban were dismissed by the senate.
The GOP and those spineless Democrats have once again failed in passing reasonable gun control in the wake of terrorism, mass shootings and grieving families.
Is it time for the voters to dismiss the inept lawmakers?
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) voted for the bills. He said this opportunity missed shows that Congress is totally inept and the National Rifle Association once again wins the battle.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. CONGRESS ALLOWS THESE SENSELESS ACTS OF VIOLENCE TO CONTINUE!
I am really tired of the Republicans in control of Congress. They can't pass laws, they stall President Barack Obama's nominees and continue to waste taxpayer money grandstanding.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is pathetic.
The most inept leader in Washington, DC goes to CBS This Morning to promote a book about how he can't do his job as leader of the U.S. Senate.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is the Majority Leader. He's been in office as the senator of Kentucky for over 30 years and hasn't really accomplish much. The only thing he's done as a senator is basically get on the president's nerves and the state of Kentucky continues to elected him to office despite him not really doing much for his state.
McConnell is by far the most dirtiest, corrupt and ignorant person in the country. His stubborn stances are dooming the country.
Right now, he's bragging about not doing his job as a senator by delaying President Barack Obama's pick for the Supreme Court. In February, Antonin Scalia passed away and immediately the politics kicked in.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) fired off the "I won't support anyone Obama picks" nonsense and soon McConnell followed by saying that during a...whatever man!
When all Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) all decided to waste taxpayer's money to run for president, McConnell was hoping for a rational leader like Jeb Bush to win. He couldn't stand the senators. He basically stayed down until Donald Trump emerged as the winner.
McConnell now embraces the controversial billionaire and his radical proposals.
In an interview on "CBS This Morning," the inept lawmaker was asked what he would like to see Donald Trump do differently as the 2016 race shifts toward the general election.
"I'd like to see a more studious approach," said McConnell, who suggested that Trump should use prepared texts more to deliver speeches instead of delivering them off-the-cuff.
"I think that winning the White House is about more than just entertaining a large audience," he added. "I think the American people would also like to see him fill in the blanks."
Trump's list of potential Supreme Court nominees, McConnell said, was "excellent" and "well-thought out and reassuring."
McConnell explained that he endorsed Trump because he says Hillary Clinton would mean four more years of President Obama's policies.
In reality, eight more years of polarizing and divisive bullshit from McConnell.
"The country is yearning for a change," he said. "I'd rather take my chances on somebody new, particularly with regard to the Supreme Court."
McConnell said that the GOP is uniting despite the fact that House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-KY), has not yet endorsed Trump and a number of top Republicans like Mitt Romney and John McCain plan to skip the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this July.
At the same time, McConnell admitted that both Clinton and Trump are unpopular.
"Neither one of these candidates is likely to get a big wet kiss from the American public," he said.
Republicans loved Clinton when she was criticizing the president. They figure that Benghazi and emails are more important than infrastructure and the economy. Matter of fact, McConnell is probably one of the reasons to why Benghazi happened. His eagerness to cut funds for embassies lead to the deaths of four Americans.
McConnell, you are a piece of shit and you know it. Hopefully, the FBI don't unearth those shady deals you've been running.
Dirty politician faces an onslaught of criticism from Pres. Obama, the public and fellow Republicans who fear they may lose in competitive senate races.
Two weeks in and no budging on the Merrick Garland nomination for the Supreme Court.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said in the junk food media that the nomination will be for the next president. It's pretty much pissed off the president and the Democrats. President Barack Obama in final year still at work. He may be a lame duck, but he's not sulking about being called that.
His job approval right now sits in the mid 50s.
Obama is still constitutionally entitled to have a nominee confirmed to the Court.
The Democrats are saying that Republicans are inept and they can't govern. They fear the conservative outrage brewing if they give in to the public's demand to nominate a justice to the high court.
The court's swing is somewhat conservative. Now that Antonin Scalia passed away, Republicans feared that Obama's pick for the Supreme Court could swing the court into a progressive direction.
Conservatives are outraged over Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) complaining about the senate not holding hearings on Garland.
The Garden City Telegram reported that Moran told a small group gathered in a Cimarron, Kan., courthouse on Monday that GOP senators “should interview Garland and have a hearing on his nomination,” in the paper’s words.
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) warns Republicans that the plan to stop Obama's court pick will backfire.
“I can’t imagine the president has or will nominate somebody that meets my criteria, but I have my job to do,” Moran said, according to the report. “I think the process ought to go forward.”
Another Kansas paper, the Dodge City Daily Globe, reported that Moran was even more explicit in comments to a Rotary Club there: “I think we have the responsibility to have a hearing, to have the conversation and to make a determination on the merit,” he said.
He says that he rather vote against Garland than hold his nomination up. He understands that if a Republican wins the presidency, the Democrats will block nominees for the Court.
The partisan gridlock affecting Washington, DC is pathetic. I mean Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) are worthless politicians and leaders.
The Republicans also trying to cock block a recess appointment to the Court. The president could impose a recess nomination if the Republicans hold firm on their threat.
Here's a poll for you
Should the U.S. Senate confirm Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court?
I really hope that the Senate come to its senses and confirm Obama's nominee.
Another damn debate and the four dweebs continue to scrap over who's better than Hillary Clinton.
The Republican debate being hosted by CNN, Univision, The Salem Radio Network and Washington Times. The four candidates are in Miami doing their final stand before Super Duper Tuesday.
Florida and Ohio are big states and the prizes are so sweet. These are winner take all states and it's going to be an ugly fight for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Marco Rubio.
Today, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) became the first U.S. Senator to endorse Ted Cruz for president. He came out for Cruz after the junk food media was wondering who Lee would turn to. Failed presidential candidate Carly Fiorina has also came out and endorsed Cruz. Conservative agitator Mark Levin once again said that Ted Cruz is the "most conservative" candidate in this race. He finally decided to endorse the Republican for president.
Cruz is trailing by 100 delegates against Trump. Trump's three wins has increased his lead. Trump has 1/3 of the delegates in the bag.
Then the biggest endorsement for Donald Trump, the failed presidential candidate Ben Carson will endorse the billionaire on Friday at an event. The former neurosurgeon blames Cruz for ruining his chances at winning the election.
Also there's news of a Trump supporter sucker punching a protester at an event.
Ohio's governor John Kasich has to make a message that he is the adult in the room. Ohio is extremely competitive for him. He's leading in one poll which is giving him an ounce of hope for his struggling campaign. Trump is leading by 5 points or higher in Ohio.
In Florida, Marco Rubio is desperate for a huge win. Trump and Cruz have called for Rubio to drop out and endorse one of them. Rubio refuses to drop out and he's planning on going even harder on them.
Many Republicans fear that Trump and Cruz could drive crucial voters from their party with their nationalist and rigid rhetoric.
The Florida senator has the most to lose.
If the struggling candidates fails at winning Florida or Ohio, it may be over for the Rubio and Kasich.
Quick Poll.
Who won this debate?
Watch the debate live if it's available on YouTube. But also, here's Mike Lee endorsing Ted Cruz today.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely continue to be the Majority Leader of the Senate. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) will retire as the Minority Leader putting his seat in a competitive race.
Again, I don't care for the Republicans and Democrats. They both suck. They both are out for their own. They don't understand the plight of the American people. They are invested in the special interest groups and elites that continue to pour money into their races. They will play partisan games and continue grandstanding for the sake of their federal perks.
Here's my outlook for the U.S. Senate elections. The Republicans have 54 members currently serving. They have to lose 5 seats to fall back into the minority. Some of the seats are in states that President Barack Obama carried in the 2012 election.
With the pending fight in the nomination of a Supreme Court justice, most Republicans stand firm in opposing a choice to replace Antonin Scalia. Some of the Republicans are polling somewhat well to somewhat bad in their respective states. They know the risk of being inept in their home states.
Republicans will have to protect Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, Illinois and New Hampshire. These seats are considered TOSS UP. These seats are competitive but it could also put risk on usually safe seats such as Arizona, Indiana, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. This would be a challenge for Republicans.
With the job approval of Congress at record lows, it's not easy for Republicans to bring up the failures of Obama when they're the ones also in power. But don't think it's an easy road for the Democrats. It's going to be a tough fight for Democrats to win back the trust of the American people.
Democrats have to fight for seats in states like Nevada, Colorado and Maryland. I conclude these states as TOSS UP. It's likely going to be a hard road for the Dems to recapture the Senate.
Depending on who becomes the nominee, I have pegged the candidates and how I believe that Republicans will continue to hold on to the majority of the senate. The odds are 52 - 48.

Guess who blamed #BlackLivesMatters for the death of a Memphis police officer?
It seems like the blame game continues.
In the wake of the tragic murder of a Memphis Metro police officer, the racist right once again blames BlackLivesMatter for the tragic shooting.
Over the weekend, an off duty Memphis officer was heading to work when a man got into a heated confrontation with him. Words were exchanged and then gunfire.
The officer named, Terence Olridge served a year as an officer on the Memphis metro. He was engaged to his girlfriend and was going to be a first time father.
Olridge “was shot multiple times” and taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Memphis Police director Toney Armstrong said at a news conference on Sunday.
On Monday, the Memphis police said they had charged Lorenzo Clark with being a convicted felon possessing a handgun, charges they said were in connection to the investigation into Olridge’s death.
Olridge was on his way to work when he and Clark, his neighbor, had an encounter that turned violent, the Memphis Police Department said in a statement Monday morning.
Slain Memphis officer Terence Olridge during his swear in session.
“The encounter ended with gunfire exchange between Olridge and Lorenzo Clark,” the department said in the statement. “Officer Olridge was struck by the gunfire from Clark.”
Olridge went back to his home seeking help after the shooting and was taken to Regional One, a Memphis hospital. He later died of his wounds, police said.
Clark surrendered to police at his home.
In the hours after Olridge died, police said few details were immediately available about what happened. On Sunday, Armstrong said that one suspect was taken into custody, but he described the initial information as “very, very sketchy.”
Clark is being held in the Shelby County Lockup on a $100K bond.
That hasn't stop the racist right from blaming Black Lives Matter for the criminal act.
A convicted felon murdered a police officer. He's being held in lockup.
Now that Memphis Metro police caught the suspect, who really deserves the blame for the murder of Terence Olridge?
A) BARACK OBAMA
B) BLACK LIVES MATTER C) NRA D) CONGRESS E) THE SHOOTER
F) ALL OF THESE ABOVE
Okay, if you're blaming the shooter, you're absolutely correct. If you're blaming everyone other than the shooter, you're part of the problem.
The county's most controversial politician said that the “vilification of law enforcement” under the Obama administration is actually dangerous to black lives because if cops are afraid to do their jobs, there’s less policing in areas where African-Americans need it most.
It come from Ted Cruz, one of the 15 clowns running for the Republican nomination.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) represents the reasons to why government sucks. His long shot bid for president is getting much unwanted attention. He take pride in being the most hated man in Congress.
I've dubbed him, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Sen. Mike Lee (R-FL), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) the Stallmigos.
They literally stall everything in Congress. They refuse to work with the Democrats to get things done.
These insurgent lawmakers are stubborn as hell. These lawmakers believe that if they force President Barack Obama to change direction, they can get what they want. So far it's not working.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Terence Olridge.
Insurgent Rep. Jason Chaffetz ordered an investigation into misconduct by the U.S. Secret Service. Some members snooped on him.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) is an insurgent lawmaker. He announced his run for Speaker of the House. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) already blew it when he appeared on that annoying conservative agitator's program saying that the Benghazi committee was deliberately destroying Hillary Clinton's bid for president.
Chaffetz is a relatively annoying insurgent lawmaker who thinks the "government is too big".
Yet, Chaffetz gets a paycheck from this "big government". Chaffetz wants to be elected on this cutting government agencies and Planned Parenthood.
Chaffetz is the type of lawmaker who is obsessed with cutting agencies. Remember this is the lawmaker who openly bragged about cutting the State Department's budget. The budget that led to lack of security at embassies and consulates. That led to the Benghazi tragedy. That led to the blame game against President Barack Obama, National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Clinton.
The U.S. Secret Service was going to put the lawmaker's business out there. Joe Clancy, head of the Secret Service has formally apologized to the lawmaker.
The Secret Service put out some embarrassing stuff about the insurgent lawmaker. The lawmaker was none too happy about it. He wants some heads to roll.
Homeland Security released a report recently stating some disgruntled Secret Service members were searching up Chaffetz's files. He once tried to become an agent.
CNN reports that Director Joe Clancy said in a statement he was first aware of the "speculative rumor" of members of his agency discussing Chaffetz's records on March 25. Previously, Clancy said he first heard about the information from the media April 1.
Clancy said when he first heard the information it was "not credible and was not attributed to a source of information or indicative of any action."
An investigation released Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security found that a top official at the agency encouraged colleagues via email to release records on Chaffetz contained "some information that he might find embarrassing needs to get out."
The Daily Beast shortly thereafter reported that Chaffetz had been rejected in 2003 by the agency he now oversees as a committee chairman.
Clancy said he didn't learn until later that Secret Service employees had accessed the private records of Chaffetz, and leaked that he applied unsuccessfully for a job at the agency.
"I feel it is extremely important to be as accurate as possible regarding my knowledge of this matter and I have personally spoken to Chairman Chaffetz to advise him of the additional information that I provided to the Inspector General," Clancy said.
Soon I will add Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to the list of many here on World News Today. The California congressman who became a rising star since the departure of Eric Cantor is thinking about becoming the next House Speaker.
K-Mac is the Republican Majority Leader. He represents the 23rd U.S. Congressional District of California. The district carries Bakersfield, a large city with a population of 376,000 residents.
The current district is centered in areas of the southern San Joaquin Valley and southern Sierra Nevada, the Tehachapi Mountains, and the northwestern Mojave Desert. It includes the cities of Mojave and Ridgecrest, as well as most of Bakersfield. Sequoia National Park and Sequoia National Forest are within it.
If he's picked to become the new Speaker, he will have a lot of work ahead of him. He will face an already invigorated President Barack Obama. Obama has won the summer.
Obamacare survived another Supreme Court challenge. Marriage equality is valid in the all states and territories. The Iranian deal will go into effect. Cuba and the United States are establishing friendly relations. Planned Parenthood will not be defunded.
Conservatives are demanding Republicans stand firm against Obama or face a primary challenge.
The president promises that anything the Republicans pass will fail. He concludes that the Republican civil war is damaging the party and hurting the country. The party has become more extreme in their views.
Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) the outgoing Speaker of the House blasted the insurgency. He believes that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) are false prophets. He believes these politicos are fucking stupid.
He announced on Friday that he's bouncing out of Congress effective immediately. In late October, Boehner will give up his role as the House Speaker and representative. He basically said to Republicans, "Fuck you! I'm Out! Good luck on getting things done with Obama!"
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may become the new House Speaker. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) were Speakers of the House. President Barack Obama believes Republicans infighting causing government shutdown.
Boehner's congressional district is up for grabs. Insurgents are looking to replace him, A right wing bigot sheriff named Richard Jones is considering a run for the seat. The Butler County Sheriff is willing to take his anti-immigrant, anti-BlackLivesMatter rhetoric to Washington, DC.
McCarthy on the other hand is hoping the Republicans will give him a chance. The insurgents are really happy with picking McCarthy as the new House Speaker.
Matter of fact, Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) is plotting to derail McCarthy's coronation.
The insurgent lawmaker announced his bid to become the speaker as well.
The insurgent and establishment are showing teeth. The departure exposed some real bad tension between Republicans.
Kevin Owen McCarthy (born January 26, 1965) is the House majority leader of the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. representative for California's 23rd District.
A Republican, he was formerly chairman of the California Young Republicans and the Young Republican National Federation. McCarthy worked as district director for U.S. Representative Bill Thomas and in 2000 was elected as a trustee to the Kern Community College District. He then served in the California State Assembly from 2002 to 2006, including from 2004 to 2006, as the minority leader. When Thomas retired from the House in 2006, McCarthy ran to succeed him and won the election.
The 23rd district, numbered as the 22nd District from 2007 to 2013, is based in Bakersfield and includes large sections of Kern and Tulare counties.
McCarthy was elected House Republican chief deputy whip, from 2009 to 2011, and House majority whip, from 2011 until August 2014, when he was elected House majority leader to replace the outgoing Eric Cantor, who was defeated in his primary election.
Weeper of the House resigns in late October. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) resigning from Congress sent shock waves across the nation
Today, the Ohio lawmaker informed President Barack Obama and his Republican colleagues that he's resigning as House Speaker. He also will end as a term as a congressman in October. This cause a ripple effect in Washington.
With the most powerful Republican stepping aside, this assures a civil war within the party.
Republicans are solely responsible if they stand firm and shut down the government again.
Boehner blames the conservative agitators in the junk food media as well as them knucklehead insurgents for things not getting done. Some of the rational members are signaling a rebuke to the insurgents.
Boehner's abrupt resignation was quick. He faced pressure from conservative members to take a tougher stance against the president. The Republicans want to defund Planned Parenthood. It's highly unlikely the Republicans got the votes to defund the women's health group.
Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) was emotional during Pope Francis's visit to the Capitol. He was routinely mocked for being a "crybaby" and his glowing "orange tans".
Boehner who was reelected last year won easily in his district. The 8th Congressional District is based in Southwestern Ohio. The 8th district covers West Chester, Eaton, Oxford, Hamilton, Middletown, Troy, Piqua, Huber Heights, western Springfield and Greenville.
He also faced a challenge for his House Speaker role by knucklehead insurgents Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) and Rep. Dan Webster (R-FL).
He also watch his right hand man face an embarrassing defeat. Eric Cantor, Boehner's right hand man was defeated by an insurgent disrupting the chain of command. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) quickly became the Majority House Leader.
Now you know how I feel, Mr. Speaker.
McCarthy is considering the possibility of being the House Speaker. No confirmation yet.
Boehner lives in West Chester. He's been a lawmaker since 1991. He was a the minority leader from 2007 to 2011. Boehner became the House Speaker in 2011 after the Republicans took control over the House of Representatives.
He released a press release to the reason why he's resigning.
"The first job of any Speaker is to protect this institution that we all love. It was my plan to only serve as Speaker until the end of last year, but I stayed on to provide continuity to the Republican Conference and the House," Boehner said in a statement. "It is my view, however, that prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable damage to the institution. To that end, I will resign the Speakership and my seat in Congress on October 30."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) praised Boehner on the Senate floor Friday.
“He is an ally. He is a friend. And he took over as Republican leader at a difficult time for his party," he said.
Boehner's supporters and the top Democratic leaders complained that Republicans are too goddamn extreme. Minority Leaders Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Harry Reid (D-NV) are praising Boehner for at least putting up with such obstruction. But quickly said that a government shutdown is coming and they warn that the ripple effects could hurt the nation.
Reid is retiring from the Senate. He cites his eye injury and Republican obstruction for his departure.
"By ousting a good man like Weeper Boehner -- someone who understood the art of compromise -- the party of Eisenhower and Reagan is no more," he said.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called Boehner's resignation "seismic," adding that it was "a stark indication of the disarray of the House Republicans."
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) said that Boehner had resigned because he knew that he could lose his position.
"There's no question conservatives had a victory here," he said. Huelskamp is a member of the House Freedom Caucus, the group that was trying to oust Boehner.
But Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) said that Boehner was sacrificing his position for the good of the conference.
"I think that following the pope's visit -- this is sacrificial love on his behalf to strengthen the Republican conference. It's really amazing and unheard of in modern-day politics," he said.
Across town, a group of social conservatives were gathered for the start of the annual Values Voter Summit, where dozens of politicians were scheduled to speak over the next few days. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered the news of Boehner's resignation to the summit to huge cheers and a standing ovation from attendees, underscoring the opposition Boehner often faced from within his own party.
Asked about the resignation, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) skipped over the pleasantries and went straight to criticizing Boehner -- without naming him -- and McConnell for making promises to conservatives and not keeping them. Cruz is running for the Republican nomination. He is a relatively unaccomplished politico. He is cited as one of the reasons to why Republicans are too extreme.
Friends to the end. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) lose two allies.
"I have long said leadership decisions are decisions to be made by the House, but I have also long called on Republican leadership to do something unusual, which is lead,” Cruz said at a press conference hosted by Liberty Institute. “To actually stand up and honor the commitments that we made to the American people. There’s a frustration across this country. It is volcanic. And it’s not complicated to understand.”
Cruz did not give a yes or no answer when asked whether McConnell should step down as well, saying it is "a question for Leader McConnell and for the Republican conference." He said he would "sing their praises," though, if they stood up to lead, referring to Boehner and McConnell.
Twice during a nearly two-hour meeting between Boehner and Republicans at the Capitol on Friday applause could be heard from inside the room.
Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) came out teary-eyed and started choking up when asked what he thought of Boehner's resignation. Cramer said that Boehner recited the prayer of Saint Francis when announcing his resignation to House Republicans Friday morning.
"It's kind of like the announcement of a death," Cramer said.
"A lot of really small people look smaller, and he looks bigger," he said. "And why not, why not let the guy who's always taken all the slings and arrows for us, take it one more time."
Rep. John Flemming (R-LA) said Boehner played his decision close to his vest and that even Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) didn't know about it until the announcement.
Boehner had been scheduled to speak with reporters Friday morning after meeting with Republicans, but left the meeting by a back door and didn't talk to the press.
Even though Majority Leader Mitch The Turtle (R-KY) wants the Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) repealed, he's getting even tired of fighting this battle. He is also getting tired of political novices telling him what he needs to do.
President Barack Obama is getting fed up with the inept Congress. His final years in office will be met with great opposition. The president hopes that Americans will see Republicans for what they are. A bunch of ignorant idiots.
The Republicans are infighting and the junk food media finally acknowledging that this rift between the establishment and insurgency has gotten worse.
Things can't get done with this Congress. Many lawmakers believe that the political environment is extremely toxic. Some blame the insurgency for the toxic nature.
The lawmakers spent Sunday trying to pass a transportation bill and a few slip ins.
The slip ins were the repeal of Affordable Care Act for the 60th time. It failed. The defund Planned Parenthood proposal failed. The demand to make Iran recognize Israel or face sanctions failed. The advocating of funds for the Export-Import Bank for the president's trade deal with Asian nations is likely to make it through.
One senator has had enough of it. He blasted the Majority Leader on Friday. It's winning praise from the insurgency.
The establishment is none too happy with it.
Word on the street is that Republican leaders are going to put him in his place. Mitch is going to make them suffer if they can't fall in place.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is a part of the Stallmigos. He and six other members of the Republican led Senate have openly bucked the party for "giving in" to Obama.
He believes that the Republicans caving in to the Ex-Im Bank proposal. Cruz believes that the Republicans allow crony capitalism to occur.
Cruz went on this tirade.
"[I've taken the Republican leader] at his word. Like St. Peter, he repeated it three times. The only thing I told the proponents of the Export-Import Bank is like any other senator in this body, they could offer any amendment they liked on any amendable vehicle, but I gave them nothing."
To see the so-called Republican leader whip against allowing a vote to defund Planned Parenthood...makes clear that the McConnell-Reid leadership is united in the favor of big government.
The majority leader and minority leader, arm-in-arm again, should not team up against the American taxpayers."
This epic rant was overshadowed by the poll numbers. Cruz is somewhere in the bottom tier.
Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and head honcho Cruz are not getting much attention now that Donald Trump sucked the crazy from them. These three clowns are a part of a big tent of contenders. So far there's 16 candidates running.
The junk food media is so focused on Trump, the remaining clowns are jealous and they're doing everything in their power to get the cameras back on them.
Stallmigo Rand Paul (R-KY) poses with White extremist rancher Cliven Bundy.
And the insurgent candidate running for the clown car just dropped another bombshell on his campaign. Once again he's saying that he's not a racist, but doesn't mind them supporting him.
Stallmigo Rand Paul (R-KY) once again gets some unwanted attention for embracing extremists.
Remember that old geezer Cliven Bundy! He was the Nevada rancher who was upset over the government warning him about his cattle grazing on federal lands. This rancher who threatened to wage an armed insurgency against the Bureau of Land Management. They had a stand off and it was going to be another Waco.
He was a hero to the likes of a certain annoying conservative agitator. That's until he opened his mouth about the NEGRO.
Jack Hunter was once the Southern Avenger. He renounced the title. He now is warning Republicans that they're doomed if they continue to embrace extremism.
A video surfaced with Bundy telling the junk food media about how the NEGRO being better off picking cotton than getting government assistance.
As soon as he dropped that comment, many Republicans distanced themselves from him.
Nevada state lawmaker Michele Fiore, a possible Republican candidate running for the open seat in the U.S. Senate race embraced Bundy during his stand off.
Bundy never shy of his opinions told the junk food media, that Paul promised more state sovereignty.
Even his former ally, Jack Hunter is disgusted with Paul's antics. Hunter is known as The Southern Avenger writes for the Charleston Daily Paper, and has made appearances on talk radio and MSNBC as a commentator. Hunter was a co-author of two of Paul's books.
Stallmigo Rand Paul (R-KY) with Rev. Perm.
Hunter once wore a Confederate flag mask when he done his commentary on YouTube.
Hunter denounced his old ways. Yeah, he admits he's still a true conservative but he figures that the Republican Party's rigid ways are dooming their chances in the 2016 election.
“As a former conservative radio personality, who used to use the same kind of over the top rhetoric with the same recklessness, I cringed,” Hunter wrote. He explained that he truly believes that libertarian and conservative Republicans are what is best for the country, but no one will listen to their platform if they keep acting like a bunch of bigots. If Republicans continue down this path, he explained, they risk “becoming incompatible with America”.
“For Republican candidates—who ostensibly have a problem with big government telling people how to live and what to do—why have their reactions, with a few exceptions, been so hateful?” Hunter asks. “Perhaps some self-reflection and a reexamination of first principles are overdue.”
Haters are gonna hate. The jobs are coming and the ney sayers are complaining about it!
The U.S. Department of Labor released its jobs report for May. Another good day for the president, a lot of belly aching for the conservatives. The May jobs were around 280,000 giving the jobs rate a rise to 5.5%. This rise was due to an uptick in those who gave up on searching for jobs and those underemployed.
Nevertheless, another healthy jobs report means the president created more jobs than his predecessor.
But will the partisan agitators make noise about it?
Of course.
They can't tolerate good news in the country. They believe everything that President Barack Obama's done has ruined the country. The gas below $3.00 a gallon in most states, the unemployment numbers are below 6%, the stock market has improved, the world looks to the United States as a developing partner, and many are spending $$$$ on luxuries.
This ends a slump of slow job growth that seemed to hoover.
The AP added that last month's strong job growth suggests that employers remained confident enough to keep hiring even after the economy shrank during the first three months of the year. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in March and April by a combined net 32,000.
Construction and health care companies the drove the May job growth. On the negative side, persistently cheaper oil led energy companies to shed workers for a fifth straight month.
Still, average hourly wages rose only 2.3 percent from a year earlier. Tepid pay gains has been a persistent problem for the economy.
Still bitching and whining.
Over the past three months, the economy has added an average of 207,000 jobs, a decent gain though lower than last year's average of 263,667.
Consumers, the main driver of the U.S. economy, remain fairly cautious. Factory orders have dropped. But Friday's solid jobs report could help confirm the economy's vitality.
Auto and home sales are accelerating despite otherwise slow-spending consumers. More big employers, such as Wal-Mart, have unveiled pay hikes.
Those factors could power faster growth, fuel job gains and boost wages. If they do, a broader economic recovery than the one that's existed in the six years since the Great Recession officially ended could emerge.
Over the past 12 months, around 3 million jobs have been added. Those additional paychecks helped increase spending on housing and autos. Sales of newly built homes have surged 23.7 percent through the first four months of 2015 compared with a year ago, government data show. Rising demand for new homes could lead construction firms to ramp up hiring.
Americans bought 1.64 million cars and trucks in May, the most since July 2005. If that trend were to endure, it would benefit a manufacturing sector that's added a scant 4,000 jobs since January.
Employers seem to be envisioning a healthier economy, given that the weekly number of people applying for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — has remained under a historically low 300,000 for more than four months. By holding on to nearly all their workers, businesses are ensuring that they will have the capacity to respond to greater customer demand.
But the economy faces other challenges. The dollar has appreciated about 19 percent in the past year against other major currencies. That trend has made U.S. goods costlier overseas, thereby squeezing exports and the U.S.-based branches of foreign companies.
Nor has cheaper gasoline delivered much help. Instead of sparking the wave of consumer spending that many economists had expected, a nearly 45 percent drop in oil prices since July has damaged a U.S. economy increasingly reliant on energy drilling. The energy industry has shed workers and cut orders for pipelines and equipment.
The setbacks have been substantial enough that the International Monetary Fund on Thursday said it thinks the Federal Reserve should hold off on raising short-term interest rates until 2016. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, saying a rate increase could disrupt the economy, urged the Fed to await signs of wage growth.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said she expects to raise rates this year if the economy continues to improve, thereby ending nearly seven years of record-low rates.
Falling unemployment usually leads to fewer people seeking work, forcing employers to boost wages. But plenty of people are still searching for jobs. The aftermath of the recession has left 8.5 million people unemployed and seeking work, about 1.3 million more than were jobless before the downturn began in late 2007.
Companies often increase pay when their workers become more productive. Yet productivity fell at a 3.1 percent annual rate in the first quarter — a sharper drop than the decline estimated a month ago, the government said Thursday.
