Never Stops: Possible Mass Shooting At Mall In Raleigh!

Possible mass shooting at North Carolina mall

Just in: An active shooter at a Raleigh, North Carolina mall. No word on casualties but a large police and emergency presence is there in the area.

What could be the motivations of this terrorist?

Could the terrorist been inspired by the Islamic State?

Could the terrorist's motives been inspired by the death of Kouren Thomas?

Could the terrorist been inspired by a loss of job, relationship, or spurn by service?

Could the terrorist been a person with mental illness?

What could motivate a mass shooter?

Well I have an easy answer. Easy access to firearms. Congress continues to avoid passing comprehensive gun control laws that could prevent many of these tragedies to happen.

Sure you can't prevent ever mass shooting in the world. If we have the laws to stop these military style firearms from reaching the hands of domestic terrorists, then it could change the dynamic of mass shootings.

Anyway, what I know so far is that the Crabtree Valley Mall is on lockdown after were reports of an active shooter in the facility. Officials at the mall have gave no reason to the why the building was ordered a lockdown.

If the mass shooting involved more than five people, the junk food media will talk about it non-stop for the next two or three weeks. The agitators will come to Raleigh, North Carolina and post outside the mall or a designated area for the junk food media. They will hear from residents, victims and survivors of the tragedy.

You will hear comments about how this incident carries forth since the last incident. You will hear about other mass shootings that didn't make the news but finally got recognition.

Republican governor Pat McCrory and President Barack Obama will be notified of this. Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) will respond. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will issue statements.

The blame game will once again begin.

If the shooter was a Muslim, you've hear cries of "Radical Islam" and President Barack Obama not doing anything to stop it. They will say that refugees from Syria and Iraq are the reasons to why this happened. They will blame the entire Muslim community for this. They will say that Muslims won't condemn terrorism. Conservative agitators and Donald Trump will lick their chops about this being a Muslim. They don't care if the terrorist is American born. As long as it's a Muslim, they will have their "I told you so moment".

If the shooter was a Black male, obviously Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama will be blamed. Conservatives will say the terrorist had probably got riled up by cops killing unarmed Black people. They will play concern troll and bemoan about gun violence in the Black community or Black on whatever crime. Racial asshats Matt Drudge and Colin Flaherty will use this narrative to get unwanted attention to his blog or YouTube page. Softball Hannity will chant the repeated chants "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" or play the endless loop from a protest rally.

If the shooter was a Hispanic, obviously the cries of illegal immigration and closing the U.S.-Mexican border will be brought up. Conservatives will rehash the old canard that President Barack Obama is "soft on the border" and he will allow immigrants and refugees into the country in massive numbers. It will be once again played on Fox News or AM agitator programs about how Obama is responsible for the mass shooting since the terrorist is an illegal immigrant. If he was American born but had parents who were immigrants, you're going to hear or read nonsense from bigots who believe that if you're family came here illegally, they need to go back to their own country and take you along with them.

If the shooter was a White guy. Conservatives will claim he's a liberal Democrat. Obviously, they don't want to be blamed for every mass shooting in the country. But whenever it's revealed that the terrorist had some form of connection to Republican causes, the conservatives will deflect from the subject to say that Democrats are likely the ones who harbor racial angst towards people. They will rehash narratives about how the shooter was a registered Democrat by looking up old records. Some of the stuff is not confirmed or verified but once it hits Gateway Pundit, Breitbart News, InfoWars and GotNews, conservatives take it as fact.

Now if the victims or survivors speak to the junk food media, some will call them crisis actors. I don't understand why people are so driven to making accusations about people they don't even know personally. You don't know what happened! If a mass shooting occurred in your area, you're going to panic. You're going to have a moment that will be forever etched in memory. You might see traumatic things like a person dying right in front of you. Calling a victim a "crisis actor" is ridiculous. But given the freedom of speech and the constant cynicism of fellow Americans, expect this come forth.

Another thing that annoys me, is the price of fame. Obviously some will whip out their camera phones to record the events. Is it worth your life to do such dangerous things for click bait?

Some of the early videos show a bunch of shoppers exiting the mall en masse.

But it's obvious if this is either a mass shooting or a domestic shooting, the facts are clear, the shooter is a terrorist. It's not because of his skin color, nationality, religion or political motivations.

It's the fact that he would ruin the lives of others because of rejection. I don't care what his life was, he sure as hell didn't value the lives of others.

More developments as they happen.

What Happened To Kouren Thomas?

Kouren Thomas was gunned down by a self-proclaimed vigilante.

There is a controversy brewing down in Raleigh, North Carolina. A man is facing murder charges after he shot an killed an unarmed Black man leaving a house party.

Chad Copley is another White vigilante who decided to take actions into his own hands.

The 39 year old man was a neighborhood watchman who was concerned about the "hoodlums" making all the noise in the neighborhood.

Copley allegedly fired through his garage door striking a young man in the head.

This rings echos of that asshole who killed Trayvon Martin in 2012.

Kouren Thomas was a 20 year old with a vibrant life. He was about to attend college and was working. He was in the process of helping his girlfriend move into her dormitory.

"We've have a bunch of hoodlums here racing. I'm locked and loaded. I'm going outside to secure my neighborhood." That was the first call to 911 by Copley.

After he fired on Kouren, he called 911 again reporting he had fired a warning shot. He admitted that he may have got someone.

"Well I don't know if they were shot or not, ma'am. I fired my warning shot like my warning shot like I'm supposed to by law. They do have firearms, and I'm trying to protect myself and my family."
This criminal killed an innocent man. Now he faces a trial that may end his life.
Of course, the 911 operator was concerned about who he shot. Copley said on the phone, he didn't care who was shot.

"Ma'am, I don't know who they are. They are frigging black males outside my frigging house with firearms. Please send PD."

The law found no weapons on Kouren and there were no firearms on the individuals he was complaining about.

Now Copley is facing the DEATH CARD in regards to the death of Kouren and he's pleading not guilty. Of course, he's innocent until proven guilty in this murder.

Once again, I am done sending my condolences to the families of the victim. What I want is basically is for Congress to pass laws that restrict people like Copley from obtaining firearms. What I want is basically gun control laws that prevent those with mental illness or criminal history from obtaining them. What I want is more accountability held against cops who kill unarmed suspects. What I want is more things done to end senseless acts of gun violence.

Now let's see if the conservative agitators will bring up the criminal history of Kouren. Will they accuse Kouren of being a member of a domestic terrorist group (gang)?

President Barack Obama Is Beating Republicans Like A Drum!

Winning.


President Barack Obama celebrates his 55th birthday today with his job approval at 54% - 46%.

If he could run for a third term, he would crush the Republican in general.

Obama may go down in history as one of the world's greatest leaders. In his eight years, he rebounded the economy and put forth laws that benefited the middle class. While he admits that he could have done more with a Democratic-led Congress, he's pretty much satisfied with the results of his presidency. Chicago announced that Jackson Park will be the location of the Barack Obama Presidential Library and Museum. It will be located on the South Side of Chicago. It may eventually push out the problems. Generification is often a slick move to rid neighborhoods of problems.

Obama is still pressuring Republicans to confirm Merrick Garland, pass an infrastructure law, pass a Zika virus law, and confirm his counter terrorism analysis.

Republicans are so dysfunctional right now. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Speaker of the House is in a tough primary fight. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) could be uprooted in the Arizona Republican primary.

Obama also called upon Republicans to resend their endorsement of Trump as their nominee.

The president believes Trump could destroy the party.

We just seen Donald Trump put his candidacy in jeopardy. His fight with the family of a slain U.S. Army solider has torpedoed his support among military veterans. His running mate Mike Pence endorsed Ryan for the House, Trump said he won't.

Reince Priebus is really upset with Trump over his refusal to support Ryan, McCain and Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH).

Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News getting fired out the cannon after he was accused of sexually harassing many of his female employees.

Old fart Rush Limbaugh signed on for Premiere Radio (iHeartMedia). He took a huge paycut. The national brands deem Limbaugh too toxic for radio.

The Drudge Report is upsetting conservatives with stories that aren't catching fire.

Pat McCrory, North Carolina's Republican governor vows to take this to the Supreme Court. He and many other Republican state governors are trying to stop minorities from voting by passing these ridiculous voter identification laws.

Sam Brownback, Kansas's governor lost his coalition in Tuesday's primary. Many state lawmakers who aligned with Brownback, were defeated at the ballot box. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), a Tea Party endorsed candidate was defeated by lesser known conservative.

Right now, you see the Republicans in an all out civil war. These guys have no vision. They have no actual policies. Hillary Clinton is on track to becoming the 45th president of the United States.

If they can't change the direction, the Republican Party will face a beat down.

The Feds Caught The Pretty Face!

Shanika Shantel Minor
Shanika Minor couldn't find the right person to hide with. The fugitive was placed on the FBI Most Wanted list a few days ago. She was caught in North Carolina.

The woman who was added to the 10 Most Wanted Fugitives was nabbed today in North Carolina.

Tameeca Perry was gunned down.
Shanika Minor was accused of murdering a woman who was pregnant with her unborn son after a dispute over music. Minor popped the victim in the chest in front of her children and boyfriend.

The victim Tameeca Perry was the mother of two with one on the way. The Milwaukee Police, U.S. Marshals and the FBI were determined to catch this fugitive.

The fugitive was caught in Fayetteville after the junk food media released her image to the nation.

The Cumberland County Boys and Fayetteville Police managed to grab her in a hotel. The caller said Minor was staying at the Airport Inn on Gillespie Street.

Around 2 a.m., authorities arrived at the motel and confirmed Minor was in room 122.

The March incident was unsolved until the tips came pouring in. The fugitive was assisted by friends and family. They will likely face charges for aiding a federal fugitive if the FBI determines that they deliberately allow her safe travels.
The family of Tamecca Perry can rest easy knowing that this dangerous individual is off the streets.

Minor will be extradited back to Wisconsin in the coming days. The price of a successful capture is $100,000. That will go to the person(s) who tipped the law.

Again, Minor is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The charges could carry a mandatory LIFE sentence in the iron college. Any family member or friend who aided her throughout the whole ordeal could be indicted on federal charges.
Minor's selfies and social media left a digital trail. The Feds found that useful in nabbing her.
Minor along with Brenda Delgado were added to the FBI Most Wanted fugitives list this year making this the ninth and tenth so far. The FBI Most Wanted fugitives does state that women added on the list is very rare.

Delgado was caught in Mexico after she plotted a successful hit on a dentist who went out with her ex-boyfriend. Delgado, the hitman and his girlfriend were nabbed.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Tameeca Perry.

Airbnb While Black!



Social media once again exposes a problem with people sharing services such as Uber, Lyft and now Airbnb.

Airbnb is under fire after members complain about alleged racism from the people who rent out their homes. It became a hashtag #Airbnbwhileblack started trending on social media and it prompt a response from the co-founders Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky.

The company helps people find and rent lodging. It has 1.5 million listings and operate in 34,000 cities and 190 countries.

A widely cited Harvard Business School study last year found "widespread discrimination" by Airbnb hosts against people with names that sounded distinctly black. And minority users who say their travel plans have been denied or canceled because of their race have rallied under the hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack, appealing to the company to rein in a practice that was long ago outlawed in traditional hotels.

A woman was trying to rent a place from a guy in Charlotte, NC. The host named Todd Warner, got burned after ignored her request. The woman got her White female friend to rent the place. But when she called the host on the deliberate ignore, he posted on the woman's page that she's an UGLY NIGGER and he wouldn't rent his property to anyone who's Black.
2016-05-06-1462554432-7216941-airbnbinterracialportafino.jpg

He left a nice one "I hate NIGGERS, so I'm gonna cancel you. This is the south darling...find another place to rest your NIGGER head!"

The woman's friend Shani Taylor took her frustration to social media and it became the shot across the bow.




Soon other Black Airbnb users shared stories about how some of the host would look at them and void their contract. Some would have to recruit their White friends to engage in orders.

And the most infamous incident came into play when an interracial couple. Victoria Yore and her boyfriend Terrence Drysdale were shutdown after she puts a picture of them together.

When Victoria put her old profile picture on Airbnb, it got attention. The moment she posted her picture with Terrance, they would ignore the requests. They often traveled around the world because he's a professional photographer and she's a model.

They brought this to attention last month and since it's taken off, the president of the company spoke out against any of hosts discriminating against their clients.

Brian Chesky said from this point, anyone who denies any of the guests on the grounds of race, sexuality, nationality, religion and social status will be removed.

But what's your thoughts on this controversy?

Obama Throws Shade At Pat McCrory!

Pres. Barack Obama greets Pat McCrory, the Republican governor of North Carolina.

In Donald Trump's America, you can ban a transgender woman from using the women's restroom because at birth she was born a boy.

The Republicans in the South are still seething over the Supreme Court's decision to make marriage equal in the country. Now they're trying to sneak around the law to make life miserable for the LGBT Americans living in their states.

The North Carolina governor is hoping to rally supporters to his cause. He decides to fight against the U.S. Justice Department in a last ditch effort to bring support for the "bathroom law" that mandates citizens to use the public restroom assigned to their given birth. Those opposed to the law see it as state mandated discrimination against those who are transgender.

The feds have thrown shade on the law. The U.S. Justice Department has thrown a federal lawsuit against the governor and his cronies. The governor struck back and filed a countersuit saying that the government meddling in the law is overreach.

President Barack Obama gave McCrory the third salute today. In a sweeping move, the president issued an executive order giving transgender students full access to use any public restroom or facility according to their gender identity.

The letter, signed by officials from the Education and Justice departments, does not have the force of law but contains an implicit threat that schools which do not abide by the Obama administration’s interpretation of the law could face lawsuits or a loss of federal aid.
Yes we still believe in a mens and womens restroom. But we also believe that transgender Americans have the right to use the mens and womens restroom.
"There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement.

"This guidance gives administrators, teachers, and parents the tools they need to protect transgender students from peer harassment and to identify and address unjust school policies," she said.

The move comes as the Obama administration and North Carolina battle in federal court over a state law passed in March that limits public bathroom access for transgender people.

By passing the law, North Carolina became the first state in the country to ban people from using multiple occupancy restrooms or changing rooms in public buildings and schools that do not match the sex on their birth certificate.

"No student should ever have to go through the experience of feeling unwelcome at school or on a college campus," Education Secretary John King Jr. said in a statement.
Protesters in Raleigh, NC.
"We must ensure that our young people know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great education in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence," he said.

The Obama administration letter will say schools may not require transgender students to have a medical diagnosis, undergo any medical treatment, or produce a birth certificate or other document before treating them according to their gender identity.

Pat McCrory is the Republican governor who divided the nation.

Donald Trump is the most polarizing candidate running for president. Trump did speak on the law being bad for North Carolina. He quickly retracted his comments saying the matter is a "state's rights" issue.

Trump's allies in the junk food media (i.e. The Drudge Report, InfoWars, that annoying agitator Sean Hannity, Fox News, and Breitbart) have ignored this controversy.

Disabled Woman Gets Shade After Tow Man Saw The Bern!

Woman got left on the side of the road by rude tow driver. He said that he will never tow supporters of Bernie Sanders.

Make America Great Again....!

A North Carolina tow driver got hit with a swarm of criticism after he left a woman stranded on the highway because he got riled up by the bumper stickers on the vehicle. The woman was a supporter of Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.

The junk food media is now shaming this asshole for being well, an ass! He didn't know that the woman was disabled.

Cassandra McWade is a 25 year old woman who was heading on her way home when a tractor trailer hit her Toyota Camry. The tow driver 51 year old Ken Shupe was dispatched to clear the vehicles from the road.

As he approached the vehicle he saw that the bumper sticker had "Bernie Sanders 2016".

He was riled up. He said, "I can't tow you... you're a Bernie supporter," said Shupe.

"I'm a conservative Christian, I've just drawn a line in the sand. I'm not going to associate or conduct business with [people who associate with Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton]," said the tow driver.

Tow man wasn't a knight in shining armor.
Cassandra was pissed. "Wait, are you serious? You're kidding me!"

Apparently, he wasn't joking.  He pulls off and heads back to his towing company.

Now the junk food media is debating over how a man could be so shallow and so polarized to not help his fellow Americans.

Shupe got death threats from the irrational. He got support from the irrational as well.

Shupe claimed that he's never done something like this before. He said that he would bend over backwards to help people. Just not those people.

Cassandra's mom was upset over this. She figured that the tow man was a bigot and downright jerk.

Cassandra says that she's suffering from psoriatic arthritis, impaired mobility, Crohn's disease, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

No wonder people curse at Donald Trump supporters, they are jerks just like him.

World News Today wish Cassandra well on her journey. No one should be refused service because they don't agree with someone's politics.

North Carolina Pass Anti-LGBT Law! Boycotts Begin!

Pressure mounts on inept governor. Pat McCroy pressured to reverse his decision on North Carolina's anti-LGBT law.

The LGBT community fought this all the way to the Supreme Court for the right to marriage and they won. They succeed in getting marriage recognized in all 50 states and 6 territories.

Now they're back again fighting battles in the old south. But this time, our friends who are transgender are fighting for the right to use the public restroom without being summoned to court.

Pat McCrory, the Republican governor of North Carolina signed off anti-discrimination law which seemingly forgot to include North Carolina's LGBT community. The House Bill 2 was signed into law this week causing a major backlash.

Now it's set off a shitstorm of controversy. McCrory actively pushed for the law because according to his supporters, they don't want a hairy face man wearing a dress entering the women's restroom being a total pervert.

The Bathroom Law as many in the junk food media call it says that it bars transgender women and men from using facilities not based on their "biologically given" sex.
North Carolina passed a law that discriminates against transgender Americans.
The resulting legislation went further. Now cities, towns, and counties can't pass anti-discrimination rules beyond a new state standard. And public schools, public college campuses and government agencies must require bathrooms or locker rooms be designated for use only by people based on their biological sex.

McCrory's office released a statement Wednesday night, saying "the basic expectation of privacy in the most personal of settings, a restroom or locker room, for each gender was violated by government overreach and intrusion by the mayor and city council of Charlotte."

The governor also said the "radical breach of trust and security under the false argument of equal access not only impacts the citizens of Charlotte but people who come to Charlotte to work, visit or play. This new government regulation defies common sense and basic community norms by allowing, for example, a man to use a woman's bathroom, shower or locker room."

Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of North Carolina, and Equality North Carolina condemned McCrory's action, and announced after the bill became law that the organizations are exploring legal challenges to the law.
Charlotte, NC. The largest city of North Carolina with a population of 800,000 people.
The resulting legislation is a wide-ranging measure that blocks local governments from passing laws protecting LGBT people, requires schools to designate single-sex bathrooms based on “biological sex” and preempts city policies involving wages, benefits and other workplace regulations.

"Instead of solving any real problems, the law would create new ones and could lead to intolerable and unfair conditions for transgender students who are entitled, by federal law, to a safe and equitable education," said Tara Borello, a senior attorney with Lambda Legal.

Republican majorities in the state House and Senate easily passed House Bill 2, blocking Charlotte's bathroom ordinance.

But something very unusual happened in the Senate - frustrated Democrats refused to vote on the bill, and walked out.

Republicans argued that Charlotte had no authority to approve a city ordinance allowing transgender people to use the restroom aligned to their gender identity, a move to protect transgender citizens who felt intimidated or bullied in public restrooms.

HB2 blocks the ordinance and bars any other local government from enacting a similar measure.

"It's a terrible day for North Carolina. It's a terrible day," said Serena Sebring, a member of Southerner on New Ground, a group who came to oppose the General Assembly's vote. "People are harmed, people are going to be continued to be harmed. I would say shame on this state, shame on our lawmakers."

Social conservative activist Tami Fitzgerald led the fight against Charlotte's ordinance, arguing it gave license to sexual predators to enter the ladies' room.

"We're very pleased with the outcome", Fitzgerald said following the Senate vote. "Really it was just common sense, not to allow men in the women's bathrooms".

North Carolina happened to be facing some major heat from business leaders and activists.

PayPal, Dow Chemical, the NBA, the NCAA, Google and other businesses oppose North Carolina’s new anti-LGBT law.

The NBA All Star Game will be held in Charlotte for the 2016-17 season. They could pull out if the governor stands firm on his decision.

So it's back to the old ways of the Republican Party. The culture war is back in full swing.

Road Rash!

Look at his message of Making America Great Again. See what it brings.

One of the supporters of Donald J. Trump has gotten a lot of attention. Her activism for her candidate is complimentary, but her artwork covering her body is the talk of the nation.

Grace Tilly and her family are supporters of Trump. She is volunteering for the campaign.

But when PBS News Hour interviews her the public notices the tattoos. Tilly's arms are covered with White extremists tattoos. The woman hails from Fayetteville and she is a phone bank operator.

The segment showed Tilly hard at work but the folks over Gawker was first to report, the show made no mention about the young women having tattoos of Odin's Cross and the number '88' on her hands.

These are both "white power" themed tattoos. The '88' numerical code for "Heil Hitler".

Tilly and her husband Farron, both deny their White extremists. They're first time voters and they have a lot of love for Trump and his message.

The husband tells PBS that "I hate everybody the same, so I'll never be racist. All these protesters, and all this stuff, and people saying he's racist and the Black Lives Matter, you know what? 'Red lives matter', because we all bleed red."
Pete Tilly is phone banking for Trump. He's a proud White man hoping Trump could make America great again.

Trump is currently the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. He is breaking the Republican Party up. He won a majority of the states holding nominating contests on Tuesday, accelerating his march to a possible contested convention.

He said that he wants to build a "HUGE" wall across the U.S.-Mexican border. He wants Mexico to pay for it. He wants to ban Muslims from entering the United States. He will deny entry for any Syrian refugees. He believes that cops aren't treated with respect by #BLackLivesMatter activists. He said that he will repeal Obamacare, He will use the failed senate nominee Connie Mack's Mack-Penny bill. He will nominate Supreme Court justices that could end abortion, gay marriage and voting rights.

Trump's supporters are likely involved in White extremism. The toxic rhetoric from Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Republicans are whistling the language.

Drudge Mocking "Lying Ted"!


There's an ugly feud between conservative agitators. Michelle Malkin and Matt Drudge are feuding now because of his not so subliminal support of Donald Trump. Malkin who is a supporter of Ted Cruz was kind of pissed about the controversial splashes on his conservative Craigslist.

The fact is that Cruz has a rough road ahead. After a losing Ohio, Florida and North Carolina, it's nearly impossible for Cruz to secured the nomination.

Drudge's latest splash has gotten attention. It basically shows his daughter putting rabbit ears over Cruz's head. It subliminally saying that Ted Cruz is a "joke" and conservatives better rally around Trump.

Not so fast, Drudge. There's a conservative meeting of the minds in Washington, DC. Some conservatives are so upset that Trump could secure the nomination, they're thinking of a third party candidate to rally around.

The notion of Donald Trump being the Republican Party's nominee is tearing the party up.

John Kasich's victory in Ohio assured that the Republicans will have a brokered convention. Kasich refuses to dropout. Cruz continues to stomp and rallies conservatives to his cause.

Trump warned that he will go full birther on Cruz if he is the nominee.

Former House Speaker John Boehner was asked about a brokered convention. He was saying that it would be nice to have one. At least his successor House Speaker Paul Ryan could become the Republican nominee.

Cue the conservative outrage.....

Donald Trump warned that if he doesn't get the nomination, there could be riots at the convention.

Ryan joked that he's not serious about running for president. But Drudge taunted that Ryan didn't want to be the Speaker of the House, but he is now.

Failed presidential candidate Lindsey Graham reluctantly throws his support to Ted Cruz. Graham said that Cruz is inept but he's the only choice left in this. He really likes John Kasich but figures he doesn't have momentum in this race.

Any thoughts of Trump's potential destruction to the Republican Party.

Bloody Oranges!

Damn

So far the race has ended beneficially for the controversial media mogul Donald J. Trump. He's won the biggest prize of Super Duper Tuesday! The wins destroys a rival who the establishment crowned their candidate.

The results are in. Ohio and Florida are the biggest prizes for the Democrats and Republicans running for president. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton can seal the deal if the turnout is in their favor.

For Marco Rubio and John Kasich, it's due or die.
Victories!
Donald Trump is declared the winner of the Northern Mariana Islands Caucus. The U.S. territory overwhelmingly went to Trump.

CNN projects that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump secure Florida. Major blow to Marco Rubio.

Rubio concedes the race. The junk food media says that Rubio is dropping out. A heckler mocks the senator while he's delivering his speech. The political tides have shifted. Rubio ends the presidential campaign.

The turnout for Rubio isn't in the majority of Florida. He also announced that he will not seek reelection for senate.



Donald Trump ends with a huge lead in the Sunshine State. Hillary Clinton managed to grab a hold of Florida's Hispanic and Black population in the state. Clinton healthy win has given her some motivation.

Missouri is a state that Ted Cruz put some work in. The Republican managed to tap into the bible thumpers and gun owners. There's a slight lead for the Texas senator. 

North Carolina is closing up with Trump and Clinton likely winning. We can't call the race until CNN and AP projects the results.

The AP reports that Hillary Clinton is winning North Carolina. This comes a huge blow to Bernie Sanders. Sanders campaigned hard in the Ashville, Greensboro, Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Raleigh. The Black and Hispanic vote and working class women vote went overwhelmingly to Clinton.
Ohio gives the victory!
The AP and CNN project that John Kasich wins Ohio. The first win of the inept governor. It signals that Trump and Cruz will still have Kasich in the race. Kasich gives his victory speech.

A heckler interrupted the inept governor. Trump's call to disrupt rivals is working.

The inept governor had a managed to win his state in a bitterly fought race. With Rubio out, it's a three man race. Ted Cruz wanted it to be a two man race. It's not going to be like that. Now the establishment is backing Kasich. The meddling of Mitt Romney paid off in Ohio. The state that is extremely crucial to the U.S. Presidency has given its prodigal son a victory.

Now it's going to LIKELY a brokered convention in Cleveland. Conservative agitators dismiss Kasich for being a spoiler to Cruz and Trump. The Republican civil war is fully engaged.

The cracks are happening. Republicans fear that this moment could happen. The civil war is out in the open. If they steal the election from Trump, many voters could sit it out. If they nominate Trump, the Republicans may lose a generation of voters.

Michelle Malkin goes after Matt Drudge for posting a Ted Cruz smear. Ann Coulter slams Fox News and Cruz for being ambitious to attack Trump's supporters instead of the protesters. Mark Levin endorse Cruz for president. Ben Shapiro, editor at large/president and Michelle Fields quit Breitbart News after Joel Pollak and Stephen K. Bannon ignored the concerns of staffers being treated wrong by the Trump campaign.

Fields was manhandled by Trump's right hand man Corey Lewandowski. She announced she's pressing charges and filing a lawsuit against the campaign.

The Blaze Network is struggling after Beck's rally to stop Trump.

Failed presidential candidate Ben Carson admits that he's still bitter about Donald Trump and Ted Cruz ruining his bid. He admits that he didn't support Trump. He said that Trump promised a position in his administration if he won.

AP and CNN calls the state of Ohio for Hillary Clinton. The former secretary of state wins handily.
It's going to be harder for them to win!
Clinton's motivation in Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo and Columbus helped her. Clinton's win make her the clear frontrunner in this race.

Clinton comes out proud securing three major states that she was struggling to win. Florida, North Carolina and Ohio went for her in a huge turnout. Now Clinton's delegate lead has increased.

She gives her victory speech thanking Sanders. The Clinton campaign asks for voters to support her in order to stop Trump and Cruz from winning the election. Clinton knocks on Trump for his extremist rhetoric and hammers Republicans for flexing the only muscle they got, their goddamn tongues.

CNN and AP reports that Donald Trump wins the state of Illinois. The huge victory knocks John Kasich's Ohio victory down slightly. Ted Cruz was hoping to upset Trump.

Trump will acknowledge Cruz's dismal results. He will also go after Kasich and Rubio.

Failed presidential candidate Marco Rubio hasn't endorsed any candidate for president.

Bernie Sanders gains traction in Missouri. The Vermont senator could have a victory since Michigan.

The Michigan race was a big shakeup for Hillary Clinton.

CNN and AP reports that Donald Trump wins the state of North Carolina. The victory stops Ted Cruz's win in most of the Deep South.



Trump's victory speech.



Kasich's victory speech.



CNN and AP projects that Hillary Clinton won the state of Illinois. Missouri is close to call, it seems like Bernie Sanders may eek out a victory in the state.

It's told that conservative leaders will secretly meet in Washington, DC to decide on what they're going to do about Donald Trump. They have thoughts of running an insurgent to take on Trump.

It's confirmed that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton won the state of Missouri. Bernie Sanders will not engage in a recount. It comes a blow the Sanders campaign. Ted Cruz also will face a tougher road to victory.

Trump Urges His Supporters To Troll Rivals!

He is still leading in national polls. Donald Trump encourages supporters to interrupt rivals.

Donald Trump's shake up in Dayton, Ohio has gotten the nation's attention. The U.S. Secret Service quickly stopped the threat and were praised by Trump for handling it without people getting seriously hurt.

Trump said that he doesn't condone violence. But he said that the protesters shouldn't disrupt his rallies. In regards to the Fayetteville, North Carolina event, he said that the protester should not have thrown his middle fingers up. This controversy happened when a Black man was sucker punched by a Trump supporter. The protester used his freedom of speech and got hurt for it. Trump looked the other way. The protests in Chicago interrupted Trump's rally. He abruptly canceled the event.

Trump said he wasn't really happy about the events being interrupted by protesters. He demands that his supporters to crash events of his rivals.

The suspect in the Dayton incident was allegedly a #BlackLivesMatter and Bernie Sanders supporter.

Trump says that his supporters should crash Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden events.

Republicans said that the rise of Trump was created by "drumroll".......President Barack Obama.

So according to the concern trolls, the rhetoric by the president and not the Republicans sparked the rise in Trump.

Yeah, right!

Republican been whistling and barking all this rhetoric for years and it seems like now they're concerned that the voter they wanted are too extreme for them.

Also it seems like the Pledge to Support The Nominee is not happening. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich said they may violate the GOP Pledge. Last year, Trump said that if he wasn't treated fairly he may run a third party. The Republicans scrambled to calm Trump's threats by advocating a pledge to make sure that if you're running as a Republican, you will support the nominee. 

The rhetoric of Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Ted Cruz is disturbing. They have sparked the flames of hate and ignorance.

They have fed the negative into the minds of the irrational. The silent majority is code.

White Extremist Sucker Punches Black Man At Trump Rally!



The Republican Party diversity tour hits even more potholes. The potential nomination of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is causing a huge rift in the Republican Party.

John Kasich and Marco Rubio vow to stop the rise of Trump and Cruz. They're struggling for a victory in states that are crucial to their campaigns. Ohio is the state where Kasich is the current governor of. A loss in his own state would damage his reputation and potential chances at running for other offices.
Trump looks the other way when violence happens at his campaign stops.
It's even more worse for Rubio. He retiring from the U.S. Senate and focusing only on his presidential ambitions. He's currently a senator from Florida and he's hoping that support would build up. Cause if he faces a defeat, it's going to be the potential end of his career as a lawmaker and his chances at potential could be marginalized by his defeat.

The Donald Trump campaign so far has attracted the most nastiest elements of America.

Trump looks the other way when his supporters act a fool. And now the junk food media is noticing and they fear that someone could be killed at these rallies.

I know protesters are nuisances to a politician's campaign, but they have the right to protest. It happens in politics when you're running for president.

Trump has broken every rule. His rallies are huge but lurking within his rallies are White extremists.
Geezer says that he would kill the protester if given the chance.
The White extremists are supporting Trump over the rest. They believe he's the only choice.

In Fayetteville, North Carolina, Trump was having a rally and a taping of that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity's program. A protester stood up with a sign and it riled up the crowd.

Well as usual Trump sends someone to escort the protester out. While the protester was escorted out, he was sucker punched by a White man who was at the rally.

A video posted by Ronnie C Rouse (@theronniec910) on



The extremist John McGraw was hit with aggravated assault. McGraw is accused of punching Rakeem Jones in the face as Jones was being led out of the rally by police.

McGraw is innocent until proven guilty. He may face at one to five in the iron college if found guilty.

You bet I liked it,” McGraw, wearing a cowboy hat, told the reporter. “Knocking hell out of that big mouth. We don’t know who he is, but we know he’s not acting like an American.”

The reporter asked McGraw if he deserved it and the 78-year-old responded, “every bit of it.”

McGraw added, “Yes he deserved it. The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is, he might be with a terrorist organization.”

“Number one, we don’t know if he’s ISIS,” McGraw said.





White extremist Jeffrey Lord says that the protester deserved it. This was on CNN.

Junk Food Media Shames Cam Newton For Being Human!

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton walked out of a presser. He was upset over the Superbowl 50 loss.

The disappointment was written on NFL quarterback Cam Newton's face. The Carolina Panthers were defeated by the Denver Broncos in Superbowl L. Newton was clearly disappointed in the loss.

He stormed out of the presser when they continued to ask him about his strategy.

The newly crowned league MVP walked out on reporters after answering only a handful of questions, mostly with short answers, following the 24-10 loss. He did so while wearing the hood of a black hoodie pulled over his head.

The junk food media now blasted him for being a "sore loser".

Of course, this is how they paint Black men when they're expressing emotions. They want Black men to never cry. They want Black men to show gratitude towards being defeated.

They believe that Cam's behavior shows "uppity" or "cockiness". They wanted him to take it down a notch.
Legendary moves for Carolina's Cam Newton.
ESPN News reports that Newton is taking the loss with dignity and doesn't appreciate people making his emotions a "big deal".

"I've been on record to say I'm a sore loser,'' Newton said Tuesday as players cleaned out their lockers. "Who likes to lose? You show me a good loser and I'm going to show you a loser. It's not a popularity contest. I'm here to win football games.''

Newton said if he offended anyone, "that's cool."

He added: "But I know who I am and I'm not about to conform nor bend for anybody's expectations because your or anybody else's expectations will never exceed mine."

Newton hasn't spoken to the media in his previous four seasons on exit day, but he felt compelled to talk Tuesday amid the criticism. He said there were no regrets about how he handled himself after the loss.

"It happened,'' he said. "I didn't want to talk to the media at the time. The truth of the matter is I really still don't want to talk to the media. But at the end of the day, things have to happen.

"I had a lot of time to go back and play everything back. I'm human. I never once said that I was perfect. I never proclaimed that I was perfect, but at the end of the day, people pick and do things of that sort.''

Carolina coach Ron Rivera said criticism of Newton was unfair. While he might have preferred Newton handle the postgame differently, he didn't ask his quarterback to speak to the media on Tuesday.

Rivera commended Newton for that.

"Obviously somebody had a great conversation with him and explained it to him and he was able to compose himself and speak to you folks,'' he said. "That's huge. What he did today was a part of his growth. He is still growing and maturing as a man in this world.''

Asked why Newton is a target for criticism, Rivera said because people "don't know him.''
Mutual respect for Payton Manning.
"If you took the time to know who Cam Newton is, if you saw all the things that he did, there would be much more of an appreciation for who he is as a person,'' Rivera said.

"People draw something on a snapshot. Don't take a snapshot. Take the whole album. Take time to read the whole book. ... This is a young man that some people are looking at the cover and they're looking at it the wrong way.''

General manager Dave Gettleman, in talking about Newton's postgame behavior, said one of the things he looks for in a player is somebody who "hates to lose.''

"We all handle things differently,'' he said. "It's hard.''

Several teammates gathered around Newton while he spoke and shouted "We love you!'' They also playfully sang: "Hurray for Cam! Hurray for Cam! Hurray for Cam, he's a horse's ass.''

One of those was fullback Mike Tolbert. He agreed with Rivera that criticism of Newton has been unfair.

"He's a competitor just like everybody else,'' Tolbert said. "You look at the guy. He's not happy at all about what happened. I'm not happy about what happened. I don't think anybody that played in this game was happy about what happened.

"So why should we be all smiles when the game is over?''

Newton smiled at his teammates' support, but otherwise was defiant in his defense of himself. "The truth of the matter is, who are you to say your way is right?'' he said. "That's what I don't understand. We've got all these people condemning, and saying he shouldn't have done this, that and the third. What makes your way right?''

Newton also was defiant in vowing the Panthers will return to the Super Bowl, reminding everyone they had only two losses all season, while some teams lost their first two games.

"I've got no more tears to cry,'' Newton said. "At the end of the day, when you invest so much time and sacrifice so much and things don't go as planned, the emotions take over. That's what happens.

"As far as trying to be like this person, trying to be like that person ... the truth of the matter is I'm not trying to be like this person.''

Newton said the league is great with him or without him, and that he doesn't plan to change.

"I said it since day one, I am who I am, I know what I'm capable of and I know where I'm going,'' Newton said. "I don't have to conform to anybody else's wants for me to do. I'm not that guy."

Newton also defended himself for not diving to try to recover his fumble in the fourth quarter that eventually was recovered by the Broncos. Denver went on to score a touchdown to put the game out of reach. Newton said that he would have risked injury by diving, as it would have meant he would have had to twist his leg in an awkward direction.

"I didn't get the fumble,'' Newton said. "We can play tit for tat. I've seen numerous quarterbacks throw interceptions, and the effort afterwards ... they don't go. I don't dive on one fumble, because of the way my leg was, it could have been [contorted] in a way.

"We didn't lose that game because of that fumble. I can tell you that.''

The Cash Fever Spreads!

Saturday's Powerball jackpot is the largest in U.S. history. 

I am so going to spend a couple of bucks on Powerball. The Multi-State Lottery Association announced the largest jackpot in the United States history is being held on Saturday.

The jackpot as of 1/7/2016 is $700 million. It will likely be $1 billion by draw time. So I can't give you an actual jackpot amount.

You chances of winning this jackpot is 1:292 million.

If I would win a record jackpot like this.............I don't know!

I would keep a cool head. I would not panic. I would write my name on the ticket and make sure that I have everything taken care of before I present my ticket to the regional lottery commission office.

This type of jackpot is by far the country's largest in history. Based on lottery sales, the Powerball jackpot will surge up. So don't be surprised that the 44 participating states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands will see a huge spike in sales.

I work in retail. Trust me, I will have a huge headache dealing with lottery players.

Okay, click on my previous post on the advice I have for you. Use the information at your discretion.

Good luck to those who play the Powerball and Mega Millions.

You must be 18 years old (or 21 in some states) to play any lottery games.

Powerball drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The closing bets are at 10pm on the night of the drawing. All drawings for the Powerball are held at 10:59pm.

Mega Millions drawings are held on Tuesdays and Fridays. The closing bets are at 10:45pm on the night of the drawing. All drawings for Mega Millions are held at 10:59pm.

The minimum Powerball jackpot starts at $40 million. The minimum Mega Millions jackpot starts at $15 million.

The Powerball tickets use the 5/69 and 1/26 matrix. Each ticket cost $2.00. You must pick 5 numbers from 1 to 69 and the Powerball from 1 to 26. These numbers can be written down or automatically picked. Make sure you play your numbers correctly.

You cannot cancel any Multi-State Lottery Association games.

Most lottery professionals say that automatic picks are often the most likely tickets that contain winning jackpots.

Given the Powerplay option for a $1 you can multiply your jackpot. In California, the Powerplay option is not given.

What Happened To John Livingston?

Harnett County shooting
Father of three was gunned down by the law. He was mistaken for someone else.

Once again if it wasn't for DeRay McKesson, Shaun White and Bree Newsome, you wouldn't hear the story about John Livingston.

The law placed two officers on ice after they used deadly force on a father of three after they claimed he resisted arrest and reached for the Taser.

The law called John called a "suspect" by the Sheriff's Office on Sunday, was "deceased at scene" following a confrontation with two sheriff's deputies, a new release from the department said Monday.

Authorities said John tried to grab a Taser from a deputy, according to reports cited by The Associated Press. Witnesses also said in published reports that deputies used pepper spray and a Taser on John before shooting him multiple times.

"He wasn't no suspect," said Libby Lovings, who identified herself as John's mother-in-law.

Although never married to John, her daughter, Jessika Cardwell, is the mother of his three children.

"I was in sick shock yesterday," Lovings said Monday.

She and Cardwell said the lawmen were looking for another man when, about 3:40 a.m., they approached the residence at the intersection of Stage Road and West Everett Street.

"They did not have the right person," said a neighbor, who did not want to be identified. "It should have stopped when they figured the person they were looking for was not there."

George Thomas, 51, who lives about 25 yards from the house where the shooting took place, said he had been there drinking beer earlier Saturday night before leaving to go to bed at about 2:30 a.m.

"I heard a gun. I heard four shots rapid fire," he said. "Police was looking for somebody else. It won't him. John told them they didn't have no search warrant. John shut the door on the police. By the time he locked the door, they kicked it in.

"They shot the wrong guy for the wrong thing," Thomas said. "Wrong guy. Wrong house. Wrong everything."

The Sheriff's Office said, as part of its standard procedure, the officers involved have been placed on administrative leave. On Monday, the name of only one of the deputies, Nicholas Kehagias, was released. The Sheriff's Office said Kehagias was involved in the shooting incident.

Kehagias, who is assigned to the patrol division, has been employed as a deputy sheriff with Harnett County since July 2013, a news release said.

Typically, a law enforcement source said, a law enforcement agency only releases the name of the officer who actually discharges the weapon.

Nick Kehagias was placed in the freezer pending grand jury decision
The release did not say if Kehagias got freezer burn.

Harnett County Sheriff Larry Rollins could not be reached for comment.


Maj. Jeff Huber, a spokesman for the Harnett County Sheriff's Office, declined to answer questions posed by email. "The investigation is being handled by the SBI," Huber said in his reply. "Any questions should be directed to them."

SBI spokesman Shannon O'Toole said the agency could not answer any additional questions on the case. The State Bureau of Investigation, O'Toole said, should complete the probe "within a week or less."

Livingston, Lovings said, had been living in the mobile home where he was shot about three months.

"John was more of a visitor," the anonymous neighbor said.

The neighbor said he heard "like four gunshots" early Sunday morning. He said, from what he has learned, John was shot in the mouth and three times in the chest, although those details have not been confirmed by authorities.

"We heard it. Everybody heard it," said a woman who lives with the neighbor.

Lovings and Cardwell spoke from the small front deck of Lovings' mobile home, no more than a quarter-mile from the weathered brown trailer where Livingston had been living. It's a desolate area of the county, where the pot-holed roads are nothing but sand and some of the neighborhood mobile homes are abandoned, burned and even gutted.

Lovings said deputies with the Harnett County Sheriff's Office had visited her later Sunday morning.

She said they offered no apology for what transpired.

"They just said there was an altercation between John Livingston and the Harnett County sheriff's (deputies)," Lovings said. "They didn't provide any details. Just said there was an altercation and that

John Livingston was no longer with us. And I think he probably got a little mouthy.
The moment happens after this.
"Do you really need to use all that kind of force?" she asked rhetorically. "They supposedly dragged him out by the beard, started beating him, then pepper sprayed him and used a Taser gun on him, and then shot him."

Lovings said the family "definitely" wants to speak to an attorney in hopes of pursuing "some kind of justice."

John, who was originally from Beckley, West Virginia, worked as a carpenter and framer.

Cardwell, who is 33, said she first met him when she was 16. "We were together a long time," she said.

He also leaves behind three children: John III, 14; Kandis, 11; and Cameron, 8.

"He was the greatest father you could imagine," Cardwell said, becoming emotional at the thought.

"So kind-hearted. All the kids around here loved him. John had the best personality. Where he went, he would light up the party."

World News Today send our condolences to the family of John Livingston.

Jim Webb Spinning His Web!

Former senator Jim Webb decides to run.

One term senator Jim Webb decides to put his makeup on. He's running for the blue nose. He makes five. There are five Democrats running for the clown car.

I get this feeling back some time ago about Webb being a strong nominee in 2008. But after I read about his marriages and his mishaps as a senator, I ruled out Webb being a strong contender.

Webb is often looked at as a VEEP or Defense Secretary. But who knows?

Webb has entered the race in hopes that he can usurp Hillary's crowning.

Webb is an American politician and author. He has served as a United States Senator from Virginia, Secretary of the Navy, Assistant Secretary of Defense, congressional staffer, and Marine Corps officer. In the private sector he has been an Emmy-award winning journalist, a filmmaker, and the author of ten books. In addition, he taught literature at the United States Naval Academy and was a Fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics. As a member of the Democratic Party, Webb announced on November 19, 2014, that he was forming an exploratory committee to evaluate a run for President of the United States in 2016.

Webb is married to Hong Le Webb, a Vietnamese-American securities and corporate lawyer, twenty-two years his junior. Hong Le was born in South Vietnam and escaped to the United States when she was seven, after the fall of Saigon. She grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. They married in October 2005.

Webb with wife Hong Le.
Webb was married twice previously, and has four grown children. Hong Le and Jim Webb also have one child together, Georgia LeAnh, born December 2006. Webb is also a stepfather to Hong Le's daughter from a previous marriage.

Jim Webb speaks Vietnamese.

His second marriage was to health-care lobbyist Jo Ann Krukar in 1981 who also assisted in his 2006 Senate campaign. They have three children: Sarah, Jimmy, and Julia. Jimmy Webb was a rifleman and Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, and served a tour in Iraq with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion 6th Marines. In tribute to Jimmy Webb and "all the people sent into harm's way", Webb wore his son's old combat boots every day during his 2006 Senate campaign.

His first marriage was to Barbara Samorajczyk, who is a member of the Anne Arundel County, Maryland, Council. They divorced in 1979. They have one daughter, Amy Webb, who was eight at the time of the divorce.

On July 2, 2015, he announced that he would be joining the race for the Democratic nomination for President.

Each of them are no match for perennial candidate Hillary Clinton.
Jim Webb and his older children.
Webb is fighting his old buddies. One was a senator who would later become a presidential candidate and later the U.S. Secretary of the State. The other was a congressman who would later become a senator. The other two are governors who left office without memorable legacies.

So Webb is taking betting his odds on winning. When he served only one term, refused Obama's 2008 offer for the VEEP, and his wishy washy stances. It would say that Webb chances are like Martin O'Malley and Lincoln Chafee: Slim to none.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is proven to be a formidable challenger. His first 10,000 supporters happened in Iowa. You know the state that Barack Obama won on his path to victory.

So now there's five Democrats running.

Four formers and one current.

Hillary Clinton
Martin O'Malley
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
Lincoln Chafee
Jim Webb

Note that Sen. Bernie Sanders is an independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate. He now has to formally become a Democrat in order to be on the ballot.

There are more than a dozen Republicans running for president. The Republicans fear that the candidates will beat each other up and ruin their chances yet again.

The Democrats have a very weak field. Hillary Clinton lost in 2008 in the Democratic primaries. What gives her the right to be the chosen one? She couldn't beat Barack Obama.

Obama lost one election to Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL).
Webb  with his wife Hong Le and their daughter.
Barack Obama fatigue is something Democrats worry about. People are so turned off to politics due to the toxic nature of lawmakers and the president.

Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are way past the limelight. They need to find something else to do.

The Republican field isn't weak. It's not strong though. It's a bunch of clowns shouting out of bullhorns. Republicans have no strong ideas and they are focused on intrusion and isolationism.

They given up on the diversity strategy after conservative agitators complaints.

The Long Hot Summer.....

The South rocked by possible arson at predominately Black churches.

First things first, we start of the month of July with the report of the Klan making a trip to Columbia, South Carolina to protest the proposal to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.

Then there was a disturbance in which a man instigated a riot near the capitol grounds. The man was a supporter of the Confederate flag and he deliberately drove through to taunt the Black protesters.

That situation managed to attract the conservative Craigslist attention. After all, what could spook White folks more than a man being pummeled by a bunch of Black people.

Conservatives would find #BLACKLIVESMATTER hashtag merged with #RACIALMOBVIOLENCE

Then we have unexplained Black church burns in the South.

Macon, Memphis, Tallahassee, Warrenville, S.C. , Knoxville, and Charlotte were the scene where possible burns may have been the works of White extremists.

The FBI and state authorities are trying to connect the dots. Could this have been a hate crime?

Since that White terrorist killed nine innocent victims at Emmanuel AME Church, the calls for gun control and the removal of the Confederate flag have gotten louder.

BREAKING: GAY MARRIAGE LEGAL IN THE U.S.!

Anthony Kennedy joined the liberal justices Steven Breyer, Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor in an extremely historical decision. The gay marriage bans in states like Ohio, Kentucky, Florida and Texas are gone. The United States Supreme Court ruled, gay marriage the law of the land.

A HUGE DAY IN AMERICA FOR OUR FRIENDS IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY! THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE STATE BANS ON GAY MARRIAGE ARE ILLEGAL.

GAY MARRIAGE AND GAY ADOPTION ARE NOW LEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES.

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE IN THE COUNTRY.

THE ROBERTS COURT FINALLY WENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

A big day in the Supreme Court. The legality of marriage is now equal for all.

In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that all state mandated gay marriage bans are discriminatory.
Win for the LGBT community.
The decision is a historic victory for gay rights activists who have fought for years in the lower courts. Thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia already recognize marriage equality. The remaining 13 states ban these unions, even as public support has reached record levels nationwide.

The justices found that under the 14th Amendment, states must issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex unions that were legally performed in other states.

The lead plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges is Ohio resident Jim Obergefell, who wanted to be listed as the surviving spouse on his husband's death certificate. In 2013, Obergefell married his partner of two decades, John Arthur, who suffered from ALS. Arthur passed away in October of that year, three months after the couple filed their lawsuit.

Obergefell was joined by several dozen other gay plaintiffs from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee who were fighting both to be able to marry and to have their marriage recognized in every state in the country.
Family matters. The Supreme Court made a historical decision on gay marriage.
The country's views of same-sex marriage have transformed since 2004, when Massachusetts became the first state to allow gay couples to wed. In 2013, the Supreme Court began chipping away at the country's legacy of discrimination against same-sex couples when it struck down part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which prevented same-sex couples whose marriages were recognized by their home state from receiving the hundreds of benefits available to other married couples under federal law.

President Barack Obama became the first sitting president to support marriage equality when he came out in favor of it in 2012, the same year that the Democratic Party made it part of its platform for the first time. The Republican Party and its slate of 2016 presidential aspirants, however, remain opposed to same-sex marriage. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) support a constitutional amendment protecting states that want to ban marriage equality.

Some conservatives have advocated for a civil disobedience effort against a Supreme Court decision in favor of same-sex marriage. However, officials in red states told The Huffington Post recently that they are prepared to implement the decision, going so far as to ready gender-neutral marriage licenses and set later office hours. Gerard Rickhoff, who oversees marriage licenses in Bexar County, Texas, said that if same-sex couples are discriminated against elsewhere in the state, "Just get in your car and come on down the highway. You'll be embraced here."
















President Barack Obama will be heading to Charleston soon but before he goes, he may deliver a speech on the court decision.
