His dad didn't respect Obama. Why should we respect him and his family.
The former first daughter warns the trolls not to take their frustration on the children.
They treated Malia and Sasha Obama with no respect. Why should we treat fuhrer Donald J. Trump's family with respect. I mean there's no reason for us to even go there. I am not going to respect the First Slut of the United States Melania Trump.
I refuse to respect Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric, Tiffany and Barron Trump. They deserve the same treatment their father gave to Mr. Obama. They deserve the same respect the conservative agitators, the White extremists and the so-called liberal allies gave to Michelle Obama and the children.
Chelsea Clinton-Mezvinsky hopped on Twitter to denounce people attacking Barron. She felt that the main focus should be on Trump's policies.
"Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does --- to be a kid," Clinton wrote on the social media. She jabbed the fuhrer. "Standing up for every kid also means opposing +POTUS policies that hurt kids."
I want you to know that the old fart Rush Limbaugh said Chelsea had looked similar to the first dog.
The Bush twins also warned trolls to not go after the Obama daughters. It was ignored. Jenna Bush-Hager of NBC and Barbara Bush were attacked by the trolls.
Democrats and progressives need to stop being nice.
I refuse to give Trump the respect he deserves. Fuck him, Mike Pence and their families.
Mass shooting inside the mall sparked by a man's reckless need to be a hero?
Reminder, a good guy with a gun is still a threat. A police officer sees a "good guy" with a gun as a threat. That's probably why it's best to leave the criminals to the law. They are trained to handle situations. A "good guy" with a gun could accidentally shoot an innocent person.
Don't lose your life over property.
It's best to lose the property than lose your life. If you want to die a hero, try to neutralize the threat.
This is what happened in San Antonio.
A man's foolish actions to save property cost him his life. His wife now buries him.
One person lost their life trying to stop a jewelry thief. The robbery was botched from the start.
Five people were injured after two men tried to rob Kay Jewelers inside the Rolling Oaks Mall.
The victim killed was a retired Marine named Jonathan Murphy. The man and his wife were inside Kay when it went down. Murphy was trying to stop the robbery by being the "good samaritan".
Murphy shot one of the suspects. The other suspect saw it and bucked Murphy quickly.
Now that Murphy's "good guy" instinct triggered a mass shooting, five others paid the price for his actions. The suspects deserve most of the blame but Murphy also takes the blame as well.
He decided to be a hero and it cost him his life.
Suspect caught. Other suspect fights for his life.
The suspect who was shot is fighting for his life in the hospital. The second suspect was fingered as 34 year old Jason Prieto. He will face murder and robbery charges. The other suspect could face charges as well.
They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
A woman complained of chest pains. Another woman went into labor because of the panic.
All the while, inept police chief William McManus is trying to explain the rise in criminal activity in the seventh largest city in the United States.
So the fault of this senseless act of violence lies on the feet of fuhrer Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, Greg Abbott, the Republican Party and the NRA.
Republicans want to sever ties with the United Nations.
White extremists are die hard supporters of the Republican Party. The Republicans and their supporters are starting to show teeth when it comes to critics of our brutal treatment of other nations.
Now they're targeting an organization that When the United States was abstained from the United Nation's condemnation of Israel's continuation of the settlements in East Jerusalem disrupting peace talks.
Now a lawmaker is trying to reintroduce a bill that would allow the fuhrer sever ties with the 192 other member states.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) is leading this through Congress. This bigot is trying to cut aid to foreign nations and do "extreme vetting" of individuals who seek asylum in the United States.
It is known as the "American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017."
Republican lawmaker pushes for a departing the United Nations. This is old cracker Mike Rogers, Republican congressman from Alabama.
The bill would repeal the "United Nations Participation Act of 1945," which was entered into after World War Two.
The new bill would eliminate any U.S. commitment to disaster relief or humanitarian aid to U.N. members.
The U.S. would also cease any peace-keeping operations in cooperation with the U.N.
Pathetic. The Republican Party is the party of extremism\and you idiots allowed it to happen by electing this asshole Donald J. Trump as the fuhrer of the United States.
Well one face I don't have to look forward to seeing is the aging Black conservative agitator who once was a man's fantasy girl. The political agitator and actress Stacey Dash got fired out the cannon.
Dash, George Will, Cal Thomas and Ed Roĺlins were loaded into a cannon and fired out of it.
The folks over at the Trump supporting Fox News Channel decided that these agitators will not have their contracts renewed. Their services are no longer needed at Fox.
Dash, 50 caused a great deal of controversy during her three years at the network. She had said some foul shit about Jay-Z, Beyonce, former president Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Prince, Jesse Williams, Jada Pinkett Smith and Colin Kaepernick.
She was a huge supporter of the fuhrer.
They hired a white extremist named Nigel Farage as a contributor to the network.
Black Twitter is enjoying every moment of this. They say that karma came a bit this beeyotch in the ass.
Remember former Fox president Roger Ailes said that she was the "black girl"
Dash was best known for being in the movie and television series Clueless. Also had a role in Mo' Money and was a video vixen in Rick Ross, Kanye West and The Game music videos.
Dash is officially a washed up celebrity for those who didn't know. And her politics are like Sarah Palin, tired and played out.
Massive protests happened today and it's grabbed the attention of the junk food media.
This protest was huge. It may have overshadowed the fuhrer's inauguration.
The protests against Republicans and their fuhrer will be ignored. The only way this is ignored is the protesters may find no interest in getting people out to vote. If they were capable of being out after the fact, why the hell they couldn't show up at the ballot box?
I am not a concern troll, but it sure would be nice to see this type of action in 2018 and 2020.
Nonetheless hundreds of thousands attended the big cities to call out Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence for winning on the negative. Many women are vowing to oppose Republican attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, repeal Obamacare and limit access to choice.
Major entertainers and politicians came out to the DC event to rally progressives to resist the government.
The Women's March is the sign of how many American women oppose policies proposed by Republican lawmakers. It also assures that Hillary Clinton supporters aren't going away quietly.
I refuse to tolerate hate. I refuse to tolerate intolerance. I refuse to tolerate sexism, favoritism, nepotism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and xenophobia.
I reject White extremism.
I reject Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence. I reject the notion that "we should get over it!"
And for the next four or eight years, I am going to be unrepentant. I will oppose Republicans if they decide to take us back to the "good ol' days!"
I support the Women's March and I hope to see more activism during the four years of Trump.
Concern troll gets an answer to the Evanston Police and Lawrence Crosby controversy.
So Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States. Okay, fine. I guess you idiots will give this asshole the chance. Unfortunately I won't. I want to treat him and Mike Pence like they've treated Barack Obama. For the next four or eight years, I will be unrepentant.
I will not support this reality television star as my president. I refuse to respect this asshole and I won't bend over backwards like the people who voted for him.
So mind you I am honest about what I say. I don't have to apologize for it. Understand.
Now I posted this week about the issue with Lawrence Crosby who was roughed up by the Evanston Police after a woman called them. The woman clearly stated that she was "racially profiling" him.
I bluntly said. "Blake Murphy, expect death threats. You're going to get them for trying to be a 'hero.'"
"Your reactionary decision to follow a motorist because you suspect criminal activity was not only dangerous, but extremely stupid," I said. "You give the information to the law and let them handle it."
That brought this troll to question my posting. So in order to respond back to this troll, I want to look at the comments piece by piece and respond back with the answer.
Remember people, do not feed the trolls. Delete the comments and move on. Don't worry what a troll thinks. They can't change your mind. I am certainly not going to change theirs. As long as they are reading what me and S. Baldwin are posting on World News Today, I am pretty damn satisfied.
Get your reading glasses together. You have to look really hard at the word vomit.
This article is a hate crime! You are encouraging people to attack Blake Murphy. Your argument is apparently that white people cannot report apparent crimes to the police if they involve a black person. The race is not the issue in the woman's 911 call. She reasonably thought that someone was breaking into a vehicle, regardless of their skin color. She did say that "I didn't mean to racial profile the guy," but that was after she had seen the police beat down an innocent and arrest him on trumped up charges. She knew that he was being railroaded and was upset. Is she racist? There is no conclusive evidence on the tape to go either way. She may feel that her identifying his race in her earlier call would be viewed that way, as it had been in the edited tape of George Zimmerman's 911 call (largely due to NBC's "re-editing" of the tape). You could argue that it was foolish of her to follow his vehicle, and it probably was. However, the 911 operator did not tell her to stop doing so. By the same token it was probably foolish of Mr. Crosby to get out of his vehicle, but, again, the police are supposed to know how to handle these situations correctly. The fault in this lies solely in the response of the police. They could have instructed Mrs. Murphy to stop following the car. They could have given coherent instructions to Mr. Crosby and avoided most, if not all, physical contact with him. Really, though, the most reprehensible part is the cover up and charges afterwards even when the correct situation had been determined. Is there racism in how the police handled things? It would definitely seem so. You need to exam yourself and see why you feel such hate for someone who is trying to be a good citizen and keep someone's car from getting stolen.
This person by the name SrAgri responded with the comments.
Okay, thanks for commenting.
The first thing you said was this article is a hate crime. In what matter am I encouraging crimes against anyone's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political, economical, and financial standings?
I don't condone hate crimes against anyone. So that's the first thing you got wrong here.
You claim that I believe White people should never report crime to the police if the suspect is Black. No I am not saying that. First thing, you do not approach a person committing a crime. You do not follow a person who commits a crime. And if you have a description of the suspect, let the police handle it. I will not put my life in danger to save property.
Crime isn't based on color. It's an equal opportunity offender. So you're wrong on that one.
When Murphy said "I don't really feel like I'm racially profiling", that's an example of it. I don't assume that a person breaking into a car is actually breaking into a car. I know the reactionary have called the law on a man who had a CPR dummy inside his vehicle. The law broke his window because someone claimed that an older woman was trapped inside. I seen reactionary call the law on people who leave stuffed animals or dolls inside a vehicle. So for you to claim that the woman didn't racially profile Crosby, you're wrong on that one as well.
You actually have to pop the door locks out of older model vehicles. For a vehicle like Crosby's, you might have to have OnStar and special tools. It's highly unlikely for him to break into a vehicle like his based on technology that makes it harder for criminals to get into it. That's why newer model cars have keyless entry. It eliminates the driver from losing a set of keys or having unauthorized motorists inside their vehicles. The only way a criminal gets into a vehicle is the person leaving their keys inside an unlocked vehicle or having the engine running when they're in a business "for a minute".
Bringing up George Zimmerman. That's what Joe Madison used to call the diversion tactic. NBC was sued by Zimmerman on a claim that they purposely edited a tape where it only seems like Zimmerman was only considered about the race of Trayvon Martin. The case was thrown out on the grounds of the audio was fair use and it wasn't a copyright of Zimmerman. The producer who made the video was fired out the cannon. No different than Fox News running misleading audio from individuals. Or perhaps the James O'Keefe undercover sting operation videos. They have been a subject of controversy. I don't see you getting all upset over people like O'Keefe deliberately editing videos. He paid the price by being arrested and sued by the people who he went after.
By the way, Trayvon Martin was the teen who was shot in Sanford, Florida by Zimmerman and it launched the Black Lives Matter movement. It became a polarizing issue for the fact that the junk food media was obsessed with Martin's past instead of the shooter's past. Zimmerman is forever tarnished by the celebrity. He can't live a normal life because he openly bragged about murdering an unarmed child. Regardless of what Martin did, he didn't have a gun and for you to bring that up is an example of the four Ds.
Joe Madison used to say that concern trolls often work on Diversion, Distraction, Distortion and Deception. You are an example of what he's talking about.
I am not arguing whether following the suspect was a smart move. I am bluntly saying that it was stupid. Regardless, the 911 caller doesn't sit in the passenger seat. They don't know where the person is located. They ping the phone and alert the police to the nearest area where the phone's data is on. Most phones active or inactive allow you to make a 911 call.
Crosby came out his vehicle with his hands up. So you're saying you rather see him dragged out his car or shot. Regardless of what he would have done, either he would have tasted the pavement or the hot lead from the officer's service weapon. For a Black person, getting a wallet, putting your hands in the glove compartment or even being a cell phone could mean a threat to a cop's life. The cops see threat regardless of what he done.
He has a dash camera in his vehicle and he could use that in his lawsuit against the Evanston Police.
Evanston Police didn't hold these officers accountable. So given in a few years, one of them would use deadly force against another person of color. I promise you that it will happen soon.
I don't need to examine myself. I am pretty damn confident. I'm a father now and I don't need to be lectured by the likes of you or any other troll here.
So do me and S. Baldwin a favor. Go to my last posting in November and read it very carefully.
I reject racism and extremism. I reject Donald Trump and conservatism. I am unabashedly opposed to Trump and the Republican Party.
Anything else you got!
Please recycle your garbage before you step up to the plate.
The piped piper of hate got served a side of knuckle style chili.
As so we begin the four years of the most divisive POS to ever lead our nation. Fuhrer Donald J. Trump and vice fuhrer Mike Pence will be blamed for everything that happens.
Understand, conservatives, you can't blame Barack Obama anymore after today.
So be prepared for a polarizing four years.
White extremist Richard Spencer tasted some knuckle style chili while giving an interview to the junk food media.
Some asshole served him a side order and rocked his bells.
The alleged attacker will be caught and face aggravated assault and battery. He could spend at least a year in the iron college. Spencer is a piped piper of extremism. He could sic his minions on the attacker if they find his name in the public records.
The junk food media is trying to rationalize White extremism. They label this bullshit the "alt-right".
And for good measure, watch Tila Tequila getting slapped in the face with poop at the Gathering of the Juggalos.
I will not watch it or listen to it on radio. I don't give a fuck about the ceremony. All I got to say to Donald John Trump, Sr., and Michael Richard Pence is......... FUCK YOU BOTH!
That is all. And yes, fuck their families too!
Anyway, you can livestream the event throughout the night and during the day.
The 58th Inauguration of the 45th President of the United States will officially begin at 7am on most national television networks. At 12pm, the billionaire will take the oath of office and begin his term.
Again, who says I should get over it? I am not going to give the respect to a man who shows no respect towards Barack Obama, women, and the country.
Boy saying to Fox News agitator "screw the president." Conservatives get outraged.
Hey conservatives, expect more.
You spent eight years demonizing Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Democrats, progressives and people of color. I think the most divisive person to ever be in the White House isn't Obama.
It's the guy who will take over for the next four years.
Expect more disrespect. Expect more anarchy!
They will never be peace as long as the fuhrer Donald J. Trump is in power.
Democrats better fight Trump. They better treat him like the Republicans treated Obama.
I warn Democrats that going "soft" isn't the way of winning. If Republicans complained and their allies amplified the message, they got their voters out. Let's fight dirty, rotten and nasty!
You liberal agitators better start acting like that old fart Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton, Stephanie Miller, Joe Madison, Lawrence O'Donnell, Alan Colmes, Leslie Marshall, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Van Jones, Keith Olbermann, John Fugelsang, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid and Bill Press better stop being pacifists.
Get on the bullhorn and start rallying your base to these Republican town halls and events. Shout them down like the Tea Party did the Democratic lawmakers.
I can't wait til the lawmakers have their town halls. I can imagine that progressives will start a "revolution". I hope a Democratic lawmaker disrespect the fuhrer during his "Fate of the Union" speech.
And let's stop treating Fox News as a news channel. Fuck these assholes. The network is an orgy room of old white male perverts.
The softball, perverts like Bill O'Reilly and Tucker Carlson rant and rave for ratings. Why don't these so-called progressives start ranting and raving?
Fox News agitator Geoff Jenkins confronts a 11 year old boy. The boy expresses his frustrations with the system and he made his feelings known on live television.
Hey, Carter.
If you stay in college you could be a progressive agitator and have your show canceled or low rated.
If you drop out of college, you make money like Sean "Softball" Hannity, internet creeper Matt Drudge, white extremist twink Milo Yannopoulos and old fart Rush Limbaugh. They make money swaying their base with ignorance.
Progressives need less college and more blue collar in their ranks. I'm not saying drop out of college, but think like a blue collar. These blue collar people are reactionary and totally ignorant to facts.
Lie and lie until it actually becomes a campaign issue. The kookster Alex Jones and the fuhrer managed to get the birther issue rolling. Fox News and conservative blogs got the Muslim smears running. The junk food media is giving White extremism a new name. It's called the "alt-right" and they are riding this canard to mainstream.
And at 12pm on Friday, you will have Donald John Trump, Sr. and Michael Richard Pence will become your leaders. I offer only a few words for the two and their families.....
FUCK YOU!
I am aware of the Deplorable Ball and the lackluster Trump Inauguration Concerts. I am going to cover this in simple terms. NOT HUGE!
More commentary on the boy saying "screw the president".
The U.S. has custody of the legendary drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzeman Loera.
The ballad of El Chapo.
The Mexican drug lord who managed to elude authorities through elaborate tunnels and makeshift vehicles was caught last January. The drug lord who put the fear of god in those who weren't down with the Sinaloa. The man was charming and very nice in the public. But if you crossed him, you're head may be in a duffle bag.
He managed to escape the iron college numerous times. Some inside men and his crew were ordered to make tunnels underneath the areas where El Chapo was resting his head. When the officers let their guard down, he would slip into the tunnel and disappear into the night.
His first breakout was in 2001 where he ended up going out with the laundry. He would evade authorities for 13 years. When he was recaptured, he would break out again in 2015 through an elaborate tunnel in through the shower. He was caught in 2016.
He fought to stay in Mexico. The federal judges in Mexico said, "You got to head to the States."
President Barack Obama's last deed on the list is the extradition of Joaquin Guzman Loera to the United States. He feared this moment would come. His lawyers couldn't save him from the fate of the American court system.
El Chapo is heading to New York City to face drug trafficking charges. He will also face conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, terrorism and weapons charges.
On top of that, if he is convicted of these charges, he will head to Florence, Colorado. That's where Supermax ADX is located. The federal time out is the country's most toughest. You can't escape this one with a tunnel. They have the whole facility surrounded. Air, water and land are monitored.
The water that runs to the facility is monitored as well. They watch everything you do. The most dangerous individuals bunk there. Many of them are terrorists, gangsters, state and federal interns who escaped,
El Chapo was caught by the U.S. Marshals and Mexican authorities. He did an interview with Sean Penn. When Penn was given access to meet the reclusive leader, the U.S. were watching him.
President Enrique Pena Nieto agreed to the extradition. Mexico will allow its citizens to face charges in the United States only if the Death Card is pulled out the deck.
So it's likely if convicted, he will get LIFE in the federal time out of Florence ADX Supermax.
The president delivers his final presser to the American people. While Republicans are so freaking glad he's going, Democrats are so hoping that his replacement suffers the same treatment.
Democrats are seething with anger.
Obama was assured if not optimistic about the future of the country.
"At my core I think we're going to be okay," Obama said as he concluded his final news conference at the White House. "We just have to fight for it, work for it, and not take it for granted."
"I know that you will help us do that," said Obama.
Obama reflects on his eight years, the release of Chelsea Manning, Russia, Israel, Republican obstruction, his failure to get Merrick Garland confirmed, and his return to private life.
All in all, Obama says that he's glad to be out. He said that he will resided in the area until his youngest daughter 16 year old Sasha exits high school.
The elder George H.W. Bush former president is being treated for pneumonia.
Well wishes to G.H.W. and Barbara Bush.
Former president George H.W. Bush, Sr. is being treated for a mild illness and it got the junk food media's attention.
41 will not attend the transfer of power. He is having breathing problems and is being treated at Houston's Methodist Hospital for pneumonia and his wife Barbara was admitted for fatigue and coughing.
Bush is in stable condition and is resting comfortably.
Earlier he was placed in ICU to address "an acute respiratory problem stemming form pneumonia.
Bush is the father of 43 and failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush.
The Bush didn't endorse the fuhrer Donald J. Trump for president. They considered him an embarrassment to the Republican Party.
Even though, the Carters. the Bushes, the Clintons and the Obamas hate this guy, they'll show an ounce of respect of Trump.
He and vice fuhrer Mike Pence will take over at 12pm on Friday.
I plan on not watching it. I will not give this asshole any respect or the dignity.
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.
On his way out, President Barack Obama drops one more diss on Fox News, The Drudge Report and that old fart Rush Limbaugh.
I'm going to miss you Mr. Obama. You were a great leader and I hope that your successor and his fuck buddy fail at what they do. I am going to take the page of that old fart Rush Limbaugh and wish he fails.
Anytime Obama mentioned conservative agitators by name, they treat it like a badge of honor. They love to grab the president's attention. They then bemoan about how Obama's picking on them and trying to silence them. Now that the fuhrer's coming to power on Friday, it's going to be "easy" for conservative agitators to back pedal. They'll start blaming Obama long after he's out of office and defend Donald J. Trump regardless of the wrong.
I want the country to fail and I want unrest to continue.
In the words of Wanda Sykes, I hope Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Matt Drudge's kidneys fail. I hope Sean "Softball" Hannity finally takes a dunk in the water with a towel over his head. And no he can't beg for his freedom.
President Barack Obama goes to conduct his final interviews with the junk food media. He says that he is very humble to be the president. He leaves annoyed that he could get his Supreme Court nominee confirmed and the rise of fake news being paraded by the agitators of the conservative media.
Now some of these agitators are being regarded as members of the white extremist movement labeled the "alt-right".
Ta-Nehisi Coates recently sat down with Obama for a series the magazine calls "My President Was Black." The project is based on interviews conducted last year, but the first two parts were published Tuesday and Wednesday.
Ta-Nehisi Coates gets in depth with the president.
"I'm not saying I'm impervious to criticism — but one of the things that you come pretty early on to understand in this job, and you start figuring out even during the course of the campaign, is that there's Barack Obama the person and there's Barack Obama the symbol, or the office holder, or what people are seeing on television, or just a representative of power," Obama said while recounting a brusque encounter with an activist.
"Usually they're responding to this character that they're seeing on TV called Barack Obama, or to the office of the presidency and the White House and what that represents," he told Coates. "And so you don't take it personally. You understand that if people are angry that somehow the government is failing, then they are going to look to the guy who represents government. And that applies, by the way, even to some of the folks who are now Trump supporters. They're responding to a fictional character named Barack Obama who they see on Fox News or who they hear about through Rush Limbaugh."
"People basically saw me unfiltered," Mr. Obama said. "I was at a town-hall meeting, or I was talking to people directly, or they had met me, or I would speak at a university or go to a VFW hall. But they weren't seeing some image of me as trying to take away their stuff and give it to black people, and coddle criminals, and all the stereotypes of not just African-American politicians but liberal politicians. You started to see that kind of prism being established towards the end of the 2008 race, particularly once Sarah Palin was the nominee."
Fox News for ten years demonized Barack Obama. They did the whisper campaigns to paint this fictional portrayal of the president and First Lady Michelle Obama as unpatriotic and uppity.
Now if you really wanted to see an angry person, you should listen to a old fart call a woman a slut on radio for over three days.
How about the only person with high ratings in cable news sexually harass women with a loofah?
Now the two most annoying and oldest voices in radio will defend the fuhrer. Old Fart Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity will continue to demonize Obama long after he's out of office.
Or perhaps the most annoying conservative agitator on television and radio give head clinic to Republicans all the while complaining about the rest giving doing it for Obama.
Hey, remember Roger Ailes. Yeah, the spin doctor who tried to spin his "game" on many of the female anchors on the network.
I wished Obama called out Fox News, perverted Bill O'Reilly old fart Rush Limbaugh, Softball Hannity and The Russian Drudge Report for being caught up in sexual scandals.
The conservative news might as well have called him a "NIGGER".
That's how they've treated him.
They gave all this attention to this controversial billionaire who is a business mogul and former reality television star. Fuhrer Donald J. Trump is considered a narcissistic, racist, downright sexist, xenophobe who is Islamophobic, a known pussy grabber and is whiny immature man-child. He and his goober right-hand man will take office on Friday at 12pm.
"It amazes me, to convince Black people that Donald Trump cares about them, he takes pictures with celebrities," said Hughley. "If Donald Trump cared about Black people, he wouldn't have denigrated the president with those claims of birtherism. He wouldn't have stoked fears and racist fears saying this man is less than or not one of us to become president. If Donald Trump, cared about Black people, he wouldn't have, in the debates, talked about stop and frisk."
He slammed entertainers who decided to make it their business to "lecture" Black folks about Trump.
"Donald Trump takes pictures with Black people. --- You rather have Black people be football players, comedians and rappers than the president. You rather see us run the ball than run the country. That's why you do it."
He also called King, a "Gator of the King family". He said that King tried to sell his dad's bible and Nobel Peace Prize for money.
He pointed out Trump's nominee for Attorney General, the squinty eyed bigot Jeff Sessions.
Now The Hughleys is on Bounce TV. King is the co-founder and co-chairman of the network.
Hughley may lose syndication rights to his show for that comment.
Chelsea Manning's sentence commuted. She will be out in May. President Barack Obama decided the time served for leaking classified documents was dully served.
President Barack Obama won the day once again. For the LGBTQ community this is a huge victory!
For the conservatives, it's a disgrace to the military. After all, they believe that anyone who leaks to the foreign threats are criminals and deserve to be locked up. Unfortunately when foreign threats are attacking Obama, Hillary Clinton and the DNC, it's patriotic. The military is sacred according to the concern trolls of the white extremist movement the junk food media labeled the "alt-right".
The Army private who leaked classified documents to the controversial document dump website Wikileaks was granted a commuted sentence. Chelsea Manning was serving at least 35 years in the federal military time out for deliberately leaking classified documents that endangered the lives of her fellow soldiers.
Facing a court-martial and a death card, Manning decided to take a plea deal. She was sentence to serve her term in Fort Leavenworth.
While in federal time out, they allowed her to blog and share thoughts and prayers to her supporters.
When the solitary confinement was issued for not following the rules about internet access, Manning was placed in the hole.
She almost committed suicide twice while in the federal time out.
Before she was Chelsea, she was born Bradley Manning. She grew up in Oklahoma and later the country of Wales as a boy wanting to be a girl. She thought the best way to rid herself of the urges was to join the military.
Chelsea was not happy being in the field. She was taunted for being "gay" and "girly". He was standing at 5'1" and was sexual harassed by men.
She found herself facing gender identity disorder. She felt that as a guy she couldn't cut through the military's strict code of conduct. So she was hoping to find an out. She wanted to let her superiors know about her sexuality. At that time, the Don't Ask Don't Tell would immediately throw you out and you wouldn't be able to retrieve your benefits. So she backed out the idea at one point.
But somehow she wanted to attract attention. She was introduced into the hacker community where she found interest in community of anonymous hackers willing to bring attention to issues she felt weren't addressed in the military.
Well in the spring of 2010, Wikileaks would publish many cables and classified videos showing the U.S. doing some really fucked shit. It was an embarrassment. The U.N. and many other nations condemned the U.S. for brutal attacks on civilians.
While on duty, Manning was detained. He was immediately sent back to the United States and placed in the FBI/Marine Corps Base Quantico facility. She was immediately placed on suicide watch and was stripped of many items including her clothes to prevent her from using it as a noose.
As Bradley, she was subjected to many routine checks. She was getting frustrated with being held in confinement. So she started a hunger strike and wrote letters to many in the junk food media. She said that the walls were closing in on her and felt that the U.S. wouldn't give her a fair shake.
During trial, Manning made a deal to take the Death Card off the table. Manning would apologize for her actions. She would also remind the public that the U.S. should focus on the people in the ranks who committed war crimes instead of leaking documents.
For at least seven years, Manning was placed in protective custody. She was constantly being watched for suicide attempts.
Being denied for early release also stressed her out.
By that time, she was allowed to at least have hormone pills to at least have feminine body features.
President Barack Obama at first was not willing to commute Manning. It seems like for the actions done, she shouldn't have served a harsh sentence. Obama felt that the sentence was too harsh and he spared her.
Manning's fellow supporters include Edward Snowden, the NSA leaker who is trying to seek asylum in the Russian Federation and Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks who is stuck in the Ecuadorian embassy awaiting an extradition to Sweden on allegations of rape. They thanked Obama although they asked for the president to spare them as well.
Manning hasn't spoken out on the commute sentence. But certainly she will thank the president for sparing her life. She is slated for release in May.
The Fuhrer hasn't spoken on the issue. But I am not sure if Donald J. Trump will fight the sentence or just ignore it. We don't know how an unpredictable pussy grabber acts around a transwoman.
Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) isn't attending the fuhrer's ceremony.
I will be watching something else on television if possible. I will not watch any events in honor of this man.
Nearly 40 Democratic lawmakers vow to oppose the fuhrer. They refuse to give credence towards a man who engaged in the most divisive man to ever run this country.
Jennifer Holliday bows out after many of her supporters vowed to boycott her shows. She cited that she had a scheduling rearrangement. The B Street Band backed out. They said they bowed out outta of respect towards Bruce Springsteen. The pressure is on 3 Doors Down and Toby Keith.
Keith is unapologetic. He said that he's done it for the two previous presidents. He will perform for the fuhrer.
Now the inaugural tickets are being passed out for free. It's not going to be HUGE event as he once promoted.
Trump's rhetoric has turned people off. He will not respect the polls or the public opinion about his policies.
Do you miss Barack Obama already?
We've taken a step forward putting a person of color in the White House. The Democratic Party has overcome the racist past. Now it's got to get away from the corporate capitalism that keeps the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The Republican Party was then the party of change. Yet, it's only change is the color of the hair on most of the White men and women who represent the party as a whole.
Going backwards. Republicans continue to push for a full repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act despite not having any reasonable replacement. In order to spite President Barack Obama, Republicans would obstruct his nominees and now his legacy.
Again, we're never find peace in the world if we're divided. Assured that we'll never have peace regardless of the holiday. Today is Martin Luther King, Jr, Day. It's a federal holiday that pays tribute to the African American pastor and civil rights leader who fought for change in the South.
He was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis.
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream of a colorblind society will never come to fruition because we have Donald J. Trump.
We have Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Fox News, Breitbart News, Matt Drudge, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Ann Coulter, Alex Jones, Tomi Lahren and many others devoted to keeping the country divided. They will live their lives in the cesspool of bigotry and white extremism.
We have the first African American president leaving in four days. He will continue his fight for change and I hope he becomes a harsh critic of the fuhrer.
Barack Obama made Black America more aware. He may have inspired some or left some out in the cold. Regardless, Obama made a difference in my life and I will use him as an inspiration to my growth and success.
He couldn't get the things he wanted done because of a constant obstruction from Republicans.
Now Democrats vow to obstruct Trump and Republicans regardless of what happens.
This weekend was full of protest. A nonviolent protest against the Republicans and their continued effort to repeal the law despite it helping Americans.
The circus of the stars. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus ends.
Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's Circus is ending its run after 147 years.
The Greatest Show on Earth is ending. The historic American circus was very popular. It got a lot of flack after videos surfaced of mistreatment of wildlife began appearing on social media.
Kenneth Fled, the CEO of Feld Entertainment said that the final show will be in May.
The declining ticket sales were the reason. Of course, the decision to end its elephant act was also a factor according to Feld.
The circus began phasing out the elephant shows after animal rights groups continue to hammer on about the mistreatment.
I remember seeing the circus train pass through Dayton in 2011. It was a once in a lifetime to see the train pass through your community. At the time, I was trying to rekindle a relationship with a woman who was waste of my time.
I remember going to the circus in 1987 when I was young. Vaguely remembered it.was at the University of Dayton Arena.
Eddie Long, the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church passed away. He was long accused of being gay even though he preached anti-gay sermons.
The controversial Atlanta pastor of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church had passed away on Sunday. Eddie Long passed away from an aggressive form of cancer. Or it could have been a latent stage of HIV, who knows?
He died at the age of 63. He was married to Vanessa Griffin-Long and was the father of four children.
"Bishop Long, Senior Pastor of New Birth, transitioned from this life early Sunday morning after a gallant private flight with an aggressive form of cancer," the statement read. "As a man of God with unyielding faith, Bishop Long maintained his commitment to our Heavenly Father as he proclaimed that cancer would not kill his faith nor his spirit."
His wife added, "Eddie is now resting in a better place. Although, his transition leaves a void for those of us who loved him dearly, we can celebrate and be happy for him, knowing he's at peace."
He grew up in North Carolina before settling in Atlanta.
The New Birth Missionary Baptist Church is a megachurch in DeKalb County. Long joined the church in 1987 managed to grow the church to 25,000 members.
Long in 2016.
Long delivered his final sermon to the church earlier this month. He had issued a statement last September to The Christian Post confirming reports that he was battling a "health challenger", but said the undisclosed health issue was unrelated to his raw vegetable diet and requested privacy and prayers for his recovery.
Long was long accused of being gay. He was caught up in numerous scandals involving young men who were groomed by him for sex.
Kim Burrell, a gospel singer and pastor of a Houston church was blackballed after a video surfaced of her bashing gays.
Long was accused of paying men to vacation with him. He would have sex with them without protection. He would put some of his affairs on the church payroll.
He would settle with the accusers for an undisclosed sum. He would not speak on the issue when he does public interviews.
Earlier this year, Kim Burrell, a famed gospel singer and pastor got shade from the Black LGBT community after she was caught on tape bashing gay men. Pharrell Williams, an A-list producer who appears on The Voice severed ties from her. Williams who is straight supports of the LGBT community and found her comments were inappropriate.
Kim Burrell radio show was pulled off the air after she defended her rant. Burrell is banned from many events because she brings too much controversy.
