Good news for the fans of the long suffering Chicago Cubs.
Yesterday, they broke the 108 year old curse. They ended up winning the World Series in Game 7.
They had pulled off a 3-1 deficit against the Cleveland Indians. It was a great finish for the Cubs.
The Cubs would manage to hold back the Indians by a run. The two teams ran it into the midnight hour through 10 innings. Cleveland let the ball slip in the top of the 10th. Chicago whacked them balls hard. They showed the Indians how the game is played.
The Cubs now can put to rest the longstanding ridicule and the taunts of many.
In the crucial swing state of Ohio, the Warren County Sheriff put the cuffs on James Pinell. This man is accused of dumping a load of shit on the grounds of the local Democratic Party office.
The manure happened around midnight on Saturday.
Just like in 2012, a volunteer found a pile of manure in front of the Warren County Democratic Party headquarters. The party prepared themselves this time around. They had surveillance cameras around the building. The suspect wasn't caught. It seems like he slipped up this time.
Pinell, a resident from Lebanon was charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief. He is to appear in court Thursday. He is innocent until proven guilty.
Pinell may be facing more than a load of shit. He might be sentenced to pickup the manure at county farm or picking up the trash off the side of Interstate 71 or 75.
The sheriff noticed the pile of manure around 8pm Saturday.
The local GOP offered to clean up the mess. They were offended by the actions of Pinell and said that these actions were deplorable.
This asshole dropped a load in 2012.
Donald Trump has got at least a 40% chance of winning the election. Hillary Clinton has a 60% chance at winning the election.
The Comey letter was considered an "October Surprise". One could hope that this cloud of kookspiracy and ignorance will die down. James Comey gave Trump a breathe of life when he said that he is revisiting the email server.
Happy Halloween. Be safe and drink (or eat candy) responsibly.
Michael Moore released documentary focusing on the real reasons to why Americans support Trump.
Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore pulled an ace in the hole.
He released a movie over the week called Michael Moore in Trumpland and it's winning praise for its approach. Moore is not shy about bringing controversy to the table. He is famous for taking on the gun lobby, George W. Bush and the American health systems in many of his documentaries and movies.
He's been actively trolling against both Trump and Clinton for being the "blah and yuck" of politics.
He believes that Clinton is the only choice but has his fear that Rust Belt America would reject that for a bombastic agitator who captured the Republican nomination by just being "Joe Smole".
He believes the junk food media has the stirred the beehive. The Trump supporters aren't just wackos.
He believes that Trump's chances at winning are fair. Given the conditions of how everything is "corrupted" by the likes of a 24/7 media, he wouldn't be surprised if the big "fuck you" is a Donald Trump presidency.
Conservatives believe that Michael Moore may help Trump win.
The film's premiere, just 11 days after the film was shot, was on October 18, 2016 at the IFC Center in New York City, where tickets for the 400 seat venue were given out to the public for free. The premiere was followed by a Q&A with Moore.
General showings around the United States started October 19, with the announcement of digital downloads available in the near future. Moore had announced the event on Twitter.
The film is based on a one-person show that Moore originally wanted to perform in Midland Theatre in Newark, Ohio on October 7, but management of the Midland Theatre chose not to go forward on a rental contract.
He eventually held the show at the Murphy Theatre in Wilmington, Ohio, with the movie based on a recording of that performance over two nights in October.
Mind you that Wilmington, Ohio is the hub for ABX air freight. The city was in the news for being one of the hardest hit communities in the Cincinnati/Dayton metroplex. The DHL national hub relocated into Kentucky (via the suburbs of Cincinnati) for a smaller venue. It displaced hundreds of workers.
Jay-Z is coming to the crucial swing state of Ohio to perform a "get out to vote" concert for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. It's going to be a free concert in the 'Land.
The media mogul said it's time to make it happen. He will be doing the performance on Nov. 4.
The tickets are free and it will be probably gone before it is launched. There's no additional details at this moment but it's going to be big.
Also a warning to those attending. Don't buy the tickets from scalpers. This is a free concert. The Cuyahoga Board of Elections and the Ohio Attorney General warns of scams.
It's big in Cleveland. The Ohio city hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA victory. The Cavs are starting off their season hoping to defend their title.
The Cleveland Indians are right now playing against the Chicago Cubs in the World Series. Hopefully one of these teams break away from the curse. Cleveland was the place where Donald Trump was nominated as the Republican leader.
The Jigga man is certainly going to an agitator who singled him out recently.
Jay-Z pissed off alt-right agitator Tomi Lahren.
I missed this feud but I will give a short rundown of it.
Tomi Lahren, the internet's right wing vixen went to war with Mr. Carter and his wife, Queen Bey.
She had called them out for being enablers of Black crime and demanded the two to stop crying about racial grievance.
"Your husband was a drug dealer. For 14 years he sold crack cocaine".
Jay-Z hopped on Pusha T's track and let Lahren have it. On Drug Dealers Anonymous, the rapper said that "Bitch, I've been brackin since the eighties. Google me, baby: You'ze crazy".
Tomi Lahren will likely go after Jay-Z for playing to the Black vote.
The road to 270 stops in Ohio. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will start intensifying their campaigns here in the crucial swing state. The state's swing is very powerful for the candidate.
It's really important for Trump. No Republican can ever win the presidency without carrying Ohio.
Trump right now is trailing Clinton in the state by 2 points. He's statistically tied with her.
But would Ohio matter?
According to most analysis, not so much.
Trump can win Ohio but still lose the election. It's mathematically impossible for Trump to turnaround his struggling campaign in 15 days. But who knows, we can only assume the campaign is working to make a challenge.
Th AP reports that even safe states like Texas and Alaska are turning to lean Republican. Virginia is moving to solidly Democratic.
Clinton right now in the solid with California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington state. (213 total electoral votes)
Clinton has a few leans on her belt. Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. (59 total electoral votes)
Overall 272 electoral votes. She would become the president.
The road to 270 has Clinton leading against Trump.
Toss up states include Arizona, Florida, Maine (2nd District), Nebraska (2nd District), Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Utah (87 total electoral votes)
Trump right now in the solid with Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wyoming (106 total electoral votes)
Trump has a few leans on his belt. Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Texas (73 total electoral votes)
Overall Trump has 179 electoral votes. He has to win a state Clinton would carry and the remaining toss up states in this election.
Trump is telling his supporters to dismiss the polls. He believes the polls aren't sampling candidates right. His campaign does cautiously acknowledge that he's trailing in the polls.
It doesn't matter what happens in the national polls, it's up to the electoral college to decide whether Clinton or Trump will become the 45th President of the United States.
Dr, Tanuka Cross was told to sit down after she tried to assist an ailing airline passenger. She posted on Facebook about the experience and it went viral.
A woman who flew on Delta Airlines is none too happy about her experience.
Dr. Tamika Cross was shoved aside by Delta's flight crew after a passenger was having a medical issue.
On a trip from Detroit to Chicago, Cross had told the crew that she's a doctor, but the flight crew ignored her. They believed that she wasn't legitimate.
They told her to sit down or be restrained.
So she hits social media to let the world know how Delta employees react to professionals.
I'm sure many of my fellow young, corporate America working women of color can all understand my frustration when I say I'm sick of being disrespected.
Was on Delta flight DL945 and someone 2 rows in front of me was screaming for help. Her husband was unresponsive. I naturally jumped into Doctor mode as no one else was getting up. Unbuckle my seatbelt and throw my tray table up and as I'm about to stand up, flight attendant says "everyone stay calm, it's just a night terror, he is alright". I continue to watch the scene closely.
A couple mins later he is unresponsive again and the flight attendant yells "call overhead for a physician on board". I raised my hand to grab her attention. She said to me "oh no sweetie put ur hand down, we are looking for actual physicians or nurses or some type of medical personnel, we don't have time to talk to you" I tried to inform her that I was a physician but I was continually cut off by condescending remarks.
Then overhead they paged "any physician on board please press your button". I stare at her as I go to press my button. She said "oh wow you're an actual physician?" I reply yes. She said "let me see your credentials. What type of Doctor are you? Where do you work? Why were you in Detroit?" (Please remember this man is still in need of help and she is blocking my row from even standing up while
Bombarding me with questions).
I respond "OBGYN, work in Houston, in Detroit for a wedding, but believe it or not they DO HAVE doctors in Detroit. Now excuse me so I can help the man in need". Another "seasoned" white male approaches the row and says he is a physician as well. She says to me "thanks for your help but he can help us, and he has his credentials". (Mind you he hasn't shown anything to her. Just showed up and fit the "description of a doctor") I stay seated. Mind blown. Blood boiling. (Man is responding the his questions and is seemingly better now Thank God)
Then this heifer has the nerve to ask for my input on what to do next about 10 mins later. I tell her we need vitals and blood sugar. She comes back to report to me a BP of 80/50 (super low, to my non medical peeps) and they can't find a glucometer. We continue down that pathway of medical work up, but the point is she needed my help and I continued to help despite the choice words I had saved up for her. The patient and his wife weren't the problem, they needed help and we were mid flight.
She came and apologized to me several times and offering me skymiles. I kindly refused. This is going higher than her. I don't want skymiles in exchange for blatant discrimination. Whether this was race, age, gender discrimination, it's not right. She will not get away with this....and I will still get my skymiles....
It sparked #WhatADoctorLooksLikemovement on social media. It also sparked discussion about how Black doctors are treated in the general public.
Delta was none too happy about the situation. And of course, conservatives are trying to discredit her story by trying to claim she made it up for attention.
Delta released a statement over this.
Delta continues to investigate a story surfaced by Dr. Tamika Cross in a recent post on Facebook.
We are troubled by any accusations of discrimination and take them very seriously. The experience Dr. Cross has described is not reflective of Delta’s culture or of the values our employees live out every day. We are in the process of conducting a full investigation. We’ve reached out to Dr. Cross to speak with her directly, talked with our crew members and we’re reaching out to customers who were on board to gather as much information as we can.
While there is much we can’t share because our investigation involves confidential personnel matters, we do want to share what we can.
Three medical professionals identified themselves on the flight in question. Only one was able to produce documentation of medical training and that is the doctor who was asked to assist the customer onboard. In addition, paramedics met the flight to assist the customer further.
Flight attendants are trained to collect information from medical volunteers offering to assist with an onboard medical emergency. When an individual’s medical identification isn’t available, they’re instructed to ask questions such as where medical training was received or whether an individual has a business card or other documentation and ultimately to use their best judgment.
Delta's commitment to diversity, inclusion and respect of all of our customers worldwide is rooted deeply in our company’s values and culture. As a global carrier with a diverse workforce, serving a diverse customer base, we are committed to treating all passengers with kindness and respect.
Sonic Restaurants were none too happy about this "you can't fix stupid" moment. The Oklahoma City-based restaurant corporation operates over 3,500 restaurants in 43 states.
In Middletown, Ohio, a young woman is fired out the cannon after the city health inspector saw a disturbing post on social media. A woman and her crew posted on social media of the employee inside an ice machine.
The behavior of this employee was pretty stupid. She was smiling and acting pretty.
The manager self-reported the incident on Monday.
Carla Ealy of the Middletown city health department said that the actions of this employee is ridiculous and unacceptable.
Before the health department could contact Sonic, the Middletown manager promptly fired the employee out the cannon and disciplined the employees who took the picture.
Kristin Davis, director of communications for Sonic said all workers will be retrained and the facility will be monitored for progress.
The drive-in's management retrained all employees on the proper handling of ice and equipment use as this type of behavior is “unacceptable” and against company policy, Davis said.
Ealy said the incident occurred sometime Friday. Ealy said the goal of the Health Department is to follow up on potential health violations within three days of notification.
She inspected the ice machine on Tuesday and determined it was clean and operating appropriately.
Still, Ealy said, the actions of the employee "concern" her, and she's worried about the confidence of Sonic patrons. On one Facebook post about the incident, there were 56 comments, mostly negative, and the photo had been shared 238 times.
In the rust belt city of Dayton, Ohio, a young 11 year old girl was struck by a car on Ohio State Route 48 known locally as Main Street. She was dragged 100 feet and landed on the ground not moving. The residents immediately called for assistance and the Dayton Police and Emergency Response came to aid the girl. She was taken to a local hospital where tonight the junk food media confirms that she passed away.
This incident happened around Wednesday and it closed the road for hours.
Makyla White was heading to People's Market to get some snacks with her family. As she was crossing the street, a vehicle comes out of nowhere and struck her.
The driver was struck with grief and despair. The driver didn't see her dart in the street.
Makyla was not in a proper crosswalk. The area is slightly lighted. It's a four lane road without any turn lanes. There are two traffic lights between the store. The speed limit on the road is 35 mph.
The crosswalks were available.
The witnesses claim that the driver was distracted or driving at an excessive speed. Many fault the girl for not being in the proper crosswalk. The Dayton Police are investigating the incident. The police will present any evidence to the prosecutor if charges are merited.
The city and the police show concern for a deterrent that once remedied a problem. The city was using traffic control devices like speed and red light cameras.
The city of Dayton and many other jurisdiction were brutally fighting the state of Ohio to keep the red light and speed cameras on. They believed the cameras deterred traffic violations.
The state of Ohio passed legislation to eliminate the cameras. The cameras can only used in school and construction zones. An officer must be present to issue a citation. The city of Dayton didn't want to waste resources to have a cop sit at every intersection with a traffic camera.
The city lost state funds because of its disregard for the state law. Dayton and many other cities must reimburse the people who were cited since the law was enacted.
Dayton has disabled the cameras and vow to find loopholes.
Nonetheless, the residents are mourning the loss of this young girl.
The police say that speeding and illegal activities plague Main Street.
I have suggestions for Main Street. Lower the speed limit to 25 mph between Hillcrest and Great Miami Boulevard. Make Main Street a two lane road with bicycle lanes.
Main Street in Dayton is notorious for speeding, jaywalking, littering, prostitution and illegal activities like drug trafficking.
Ohio State Route 48 is an 84 mile road starts from the census-designated community Goshen and ends near the village of Houston. It passes through Dayton, Englewood, Covington, Lebanon and Kettering.
Angrier and louder. Donald Trump blast the junk food media.
In Cincinnati and West Palm Beach, Donald Trump took off the gloves. He decided to throw down a lawsuit against The New York Times after the paper released a damaging report about Trump touching women inappropriately.
Five women came forth to tell their side of the story and it's gotten major attention in the junk food media.
Jane Leeds claims about Trump reached underneath her dress while they were on a flight together. Leeds told the New York Times, Trump lifted up the armrest and touched her breasts and started to put his hands up her skirt.
"He was like an octopus" said Leeds. "It was like he had six arms. He was all over the place.
Temple Taggart claims that Trump kissed her on the mouth without her consent.
"He kissed me directly on the lips. I though: 'Oh my gosh. Gross' He was like married to Marla Maples at the time. I think there were a few other girls that he kissed on the mouth. I was like, 'Wow, that's inappropriate.'"
Mindy McGillivray said that Trump grabbed her on the buttocks.
"All of sudden I felt a grab, a little nudge. I think it's Ken's camera bag, that was my first instinct. I turned around and there's Donald. He sort of looked away quickly."
McGillvray thought it was her friend Ken Davidoff bumping into her. It was apparently Trump going for a pinch.
"That was a pretty good nudge. More of a grab. It was pretty close to the center of my butt. I was startled. I jump,"
Rachel Crooks said that as she introduced herself to Trump at his Trump Tower, he would grab her and give her a big kiss and he tried to tongue her.
"It was so inappropriate. I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that." said Crooks.
Trump on his part dismissed the notion and said to his supporters that "if he loses" it's the fault of a corrupt media and "Crooked Hillary".
Now you know that Trump was eager to bring forth Bill Clinton's accusers. He was supposed to make an appearance on Sean "Softball" Hannity's program. He abruptly canceled the appearance.
Now Trump had an opportunity to address this. He flat out denied it and went right into blaming the junk food media and Hillary Clinton for the shit storm he's created.
Trump's epic rant.
He said that he will dispute the charges at a later date.
Tyre King was fatally shot by Columbus police after they chased him for an alleged robbery.
The need for accountability. The police need to start releasing body and dash camera footage. The Black community demands this in the wake of the fatal encounter of Keith Lamont Scott.
Cop in the freezer for shooting teen.
Over in Columbus, protesters calls for transparency are growing. The evidence shows that Tyre King was fatally shot in the back three to five times. According to the law, he was pulling the gun from his waistband.
He was shot and killed Columbus Police after they suspected him of being involved in an armed robbery. The 13 year old boy was fatally shot. He was holding a toy gun and the law claims that the gun looked realistic.
The officer Bryan Mason is in the freezer pending a state and federal investigation.
Mason was cleared of wrongdoing after he had fatally shot a man who held another person at gunpoint. He also had two non-fatal encounters. He also shot a dog after the animal bit an officer.
The public file shows that Mason had high marks on his performance.
Tyre will be buried on Saturday.
The city of Columbus plans to outfit its officers in the traffic division with cameras before the end of the year. It might take up to three years to get at least 1,400 officers on the camera says the Columbus Dispatch.
The most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media's town hall was postponed. He solely focused on the unrest in Charlotte. He spent a majority of the time finding ways to blame President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the unrest.
The shootings of Keith Scott and Terence Crutcher have put police brutality, race relations and gun control back into the limelight. Just last weekend, we had terrorist attacks in Minnesota, New Jersey and New York.
Sean "Softball" Hannity has been in the forefront of trying to make these controversies a political opportunity for Donald Trump.
At this town hall in Cleveland, Trump and the softball were invited to a Black church. Darrell Scott invited these two to talk about the issues facing Black America.
This town hall was an embarrassment. Most in attendance were White people.
Trump calls for a national stop-and-frisk policy. He believes that this will stop Black on Black crime and was a political dog whistle for White extremists.
At the New Spirit Revival Center, a Cleveland Heights church whose pastor is an ardent Trump supporter, Trump and running mate Mike Pence held a forum on “African American Concerns.”
Taking the stage after boxing promoter Don King, Trump proceeded to point out all of his black friends in attendance (including King, New Spirit Revival Center’s Pastor Darrell Scott, and one-time Republican rival Ben Carson), comment on his (supposedly) rising poll numbers with African-American voters, and once again touch on the plight of America’s inner cities by mentioning the violence in places like Chicago and recent shootings in Tulsa and Charlotte.
“I talked about the crime, I talked about the lack of education, the bad schools, and I talked about jobs — the jobs are just so bad,” Trump told his black audience. “And I said it three or four, five times, and then one day I said, ‘What do you have to lose? I mean, what do you have to lose? I’m gonna fix it. What do you have to lose?”
This might seem like a pretty convincing argument for some African-Americans that are on the fence ahead of the November election. However, images and videos that poured out of the event appeared to show that Trump was addressing a largely white crowd at this historically black church.
Another softball interview by the most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media. The right wing carnival will head to Cleveland in front of a Black audience. A Black pastor who supports Donald Trump invites these two for another divisive attack on President Barack Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
The polls are "tightening" and Donald Trump is enjoying the benefits of being in the limelight. He's taken the advice of Kelly Anne Conway and is working on improving his outreach to non-White voters.
His pivots are helping him catch up with his Democratic rival.
So far his chances are at 47% and his opponent Hillary Clinton is at 53%.
It doesn't matter what the polls say, if one of these candidates makes it to 270 electoral votes, they become the 45th President of the United States.
He will take this crusade to Cleveland to do a town hall inside a church of a Black Trump supporter.
Along for the ride is the most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media. Sean "Softball" Hannity, the most divisive person to ever host a radio and television program will have another sit down with his man-crush.
Darrell Scott, the pastor of New Spirit Revival Center in Cleveland Heights invites the two to his church to discuss issues facing Black America. Fox News will tape the town hall and it will air on Wednesday night.
Given back in July, Trump had said that the rule of law is mandatory. He said that cops get no respect from the people. He invited a pro-Trump supporting Black cop to praise the decision to not indict the six officers who let Freddie Gray die in their custody. He brought on a man who ran stories mocking Black supporters as thugs and looters.
He was the man who retweeted a debunked White extremist statistic about Black violence.
He demanded the first Black president to release his birth certificate. Only later to confirm that he's legitimately an American and blame the opponent for starting the rumor.
I bet you money, Softball Hannity will not address the fatal police shootings of Tamir Rice, Tim Russell and Malissa Williams.
The unrest in Charlotte already assures conservatives to focus on the "rioting" and "looting" in the city. Of course, the blame game will almost immediately fall on President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. This is expected from conservative agitators (especially Softball Hannity).
The shootings of Tyre King, Terence Crutcher and Keith Scott have once again sparked a discussion on gun violence, Black on whatever crime, and police shooting unarmed individuals.
Softball Hannity has invited extremists on his show to denounce Black Lives Matter. He's put not only his man-crush, but running mate Mike Pence, and disgraced cop Mark Fuhrman on his program.
Trump's biggest Black supporters are a Cleveland pastor and a female who is a self proclaimed "bad guy".
To add a little flavor to his right wing carnival, the agitator brings on Black extremists. Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke, Jesse Lee Peterson, Kevin Jackson, Juan Williams, David Webb and Rod Wheeler will be there to point fingers at Obama, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for the unrest.
And maybe Colin Flaherty will plug another racial book about the "mob violence" by Black people.
This is what they do every time! They omit the local Black leaders who are calling for peace and denouncing the rioters.
They don't talk about real issues in Black America. Police reform is a major issue with Black America. With the police shooting unarmed Black citizens, you would expect Trump and the softball to really come to their senses about this. Alas, they won't.
They want to chastise Obama for Black America's woes, given that he's the first Black president.
They forgot these issues have been long before Obama stepped into the White House.
Sean "Softball" Hannity is gambling his career on Donald Trump. If Trump does lose this election, expect the "lumpy" softball to be discarded.
Columbus Police fatally shoots a boy with a pellet gun.
In Columbus, Ohio, the police are investigating a fatal encounter with a boy who was allegedly carrying a pellet gun. The law claims that the boy was involved in an armed robbery.
The name of the boy was trending on social media. The child identified as Tyree King had "pulled a gun from his waistband" when officers attempted to take him and another child in custody.
As the situation unfolded, the officer who is not named fired multiple times on King.
The weapon was recovered and the law determined that it was a BB gun. It had an attached laser sight. Of course that's the usual word play of justifying shooting.
"Our officers carry a gun that looks practically identical to this weapon. It turns out not to be a firearm, but as you can see, it looks like a firearm that can kill you", said Columbus chief of police Kim Jacobs.
Police were called to the neighborhood around 7pm on a report of a group of people who tried rob a person.
Officers followed the males into an alley and attempted to take them into custody. King was allegedly taking the BB gun from his waistband and that's when the officer fired on him.
The boy died an hour later at the local hospital. The officer known as Brian Mason, a nine year member of the Columbus Police is the officer who shot King. Mason is in the freezer pending the outcome of the situation. I am assuming that concern trolls and racists are trying to look into social media of Tyree King, to justify the shooting. No word of trolls looking into Mason's social media and officer training files.
I am guessing that the city is preparing for protests because they were quick to release the name of the officer who shot the child. They haven't released the dash camera, audio or body camera of the officer. The witnesses involved haven't posted on social media or talked to the junk food media.
The folks of Athens, Ohio once thanked now disgraced Fox News CEO Roger Ailes for his huge contributions to Ohio University. It's revealed that Ailes was accused of sexually harassing female employees. Former anchors Gretchen Carlson and Andrea Tantaros filed a federal lawsuit against Ailes.
Ailes on his part denies any involvement in any wrongdoing. But the fallout is big especially at his alma mater. His old school decided to end its relationship with him.
Ohio University has now decided that Ailes isn't the perfect role model for its students. They have formally returned the $500,000 donation and removed his name from the newsroom he put millions of dollars in.
OU President Roderick McDavis announced the action Monday during a Faculty Senate meeting, the student newspaper The Post reported. The letters of Ailes' name were taken down before the meeting ended, and a wooden board was placed over the space soon after, the newspaper reported.
"The distraction from the teaching of the Scripps College of Communication has weighed heavily on my mind as I deliberated over the sustained effect on our university community should we continue to have our newsroom named for Mr. Ailes," McDavis said, according to the report. "Given the allegations against Mr. Ailes, the circumstances surrounding his departure from Fox News, I've decided to return his gift and remove his name."
"Ohio University ignited my interest in broadcasting, which became my lifetime career," Ailes said in 2007.
Tom Hodson, the director and general manager of WOUB, said in an email to The Post that WOUB is "pleased" with McDavis' decision.
Robert Stewart, director of E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, said in an email to The Post he was "glad (the journalism school) can finally move on."
"I applaud President McDavis' decision," Stewart said in an email. "The controversy has helped shine a spotlight on the ongoing problem of sexual harassment in the workplace, but it's a relief to have the name and plaque removed."
21st Century Fox and News Corp paid out Gretchen nearly $20 million in damages.
Greta Van Susteren abruptly was fired out the cannon after spending over 15 years with the network.
The college world is rocked by the federal government's sanctions of one of the oldest for-profit trade schools. The ITT Technical Institute is closing all its locations including the one in my community of Dayton, Ohio.
With approximately 130 campuses in 38 states of the United States, this bit of news hurts the people who enrolled for this session. In August, the company was barred from enrolling new students who use government loans and has chosen to cease enrolling any new students at all.
ITT Tech announced that it was immediately ceasing operations and closing all of its campuses.
In 2014, Time magazine ranked ITT Technical Institute No. 2 on its list of "The 5 Colleges That Leave the Most Students Crippled By Debt". Among ITT Tech graduates with loans due in 2011, 22% had defaulted by 2014. According to the Time magazine report, ITT Tech's default rate ranked second; the for-profit University of Phoenix had a lower default rate by percentage (19% at Phoenix versus ITT Tech's 22%), but the total number of students in default from Phoenix was much higher (45,123 Phoenix students versus 11,260 ITT Tech students).
According to the College Scorecard, as of March 2016, 39% of ITT Tech graduates are paying off their debt, compared to the national average of 66% among all schools nationwide.
This percentage represents the number of graduates who were able to repay at least $1 in student loan debt in the three years after their graduation.
The U.S. Department of Education banned ITT Tech from enrolling students who receive federal aid and at the same time doubled the surety funds that ITT Tech was required to have, and to produce those funds within 30 days. Stock markets reacted with a punishing 35% drop which triggered a halt in trading, raising concerns about whether ITT Educational would be able to survive this latest decision
Carousel Beauty College also shut its doors in the Dayton, Ohio area. The five locations are gone.
This came without any warning as well. Many students attending the Dayton-based hair school are without a place.
Ohio authorities end the food stamp lifestyle of a millionaire.
Conservatives are going bananas over an Ohio man whose home was raided this week after an investigation determined he swindled from charities and the state's safety net.
He boasted that his companies developed multi-million dollar properties from Ohio to the tax haven of St. Lucia. It's funny that the well-off do take advantage of the government as well.
Ali Pascal Mahvi lives in Russell Township, Geauga County, Ohio. For nearly two years, his family was given $300 a month in food stamps. They also got assistance in paying their gas and electric bills.
They also got Medicaid.
The feds and Ohio authorities said that this was an act to steal from the state and those in need.
Millionaire played the system like a fox. Ohio and the feds stopped it.
Detectives looking into Mahvi's books. They found that he's got nearly $20 million in earnings and living the life of luxury. He has a home worth $800K, a horse barn, a set of luxury cars, overseas bank accounts and good amount of excuses to why he's not a "bad guy".
A $4 million Swiss bank account and he's paying a monthly mortgage of $4,600. The Mahvi family had claimed nothing and it raised red flags.
He lives in the suburbs of Cleveland living on the lifestyle.
He is an American man of Iranian descent. Of course, you got a two-fer. A man with a funny name who took advantage of an issue conservatives long complained about. A man who steals from the safety net.
Teen apparel store Abercrombie & Fitch will close 60 shops.
Abercrombie & Fitch is hanging by a thread. Ever since the Supreme Court laid the hammer on the company it's nosediving fast. The company lost a federal lawsuit issued by a woman who was fired out the cannon for wearing a hijab.
The decision now puts all retailers on notice about discriminating workers and potential hirers.
The teen themed retailer also tried to rebrand its image by rolling out its fall catalogue and trying make trendy discounts for the school year.
The company based out of New Albany, Ohio outside of Columbus has seen changes in the past three years. One being it's controversial CEO being fired out the cannon.
The former CEO Mike Jeffries and his boyfriend ruined the company. They instigated this policy where employees had to "look a certain way" in order to get a job at their stores. Often many people of color were rejected from the job because they didn't look the part. They would spend the company earning on lavish planes and boats. They would have the private plane and home decorated with hunky men wearing A&F clothes and cologne.
The company decided to close 60 stores across the U.S. and Canada. We don't know which ones would be affected
There's biggest obstacle is getting a former Sears Holding Group CEO to turn this company around.
Arthur Martinez, left Sears/Kmart after troubling years there. Now he's on board another sinking ship.
He's got two years to do something or he'll finding the cannon is ready to load him out too.
Sears has at leas than two years to turn around or face extinction. The company has struggled since the merger with Kmart. Now Kmart is on the verge of closing all their stores. Sears may soon follow.
A&F is still around but I'll give it at least five years before a new fad comes along and wipes this fad into the thrift stores.
Convicted rapist isn't truly free. He will have to register in Offender U for the rest of his life.
Brock Turner, the former Stanford University swimmer is out of the California lockup where he was spending three month bid in. He's heading back to Ohio to spend the rest of his life in hiding. He will now have to register in Offender U for the rest of his life.
Turner out on bail dodged the cameras and got into his attorney's vehicle. One of America's most hated men is now free to live his life. He will live his life under a watchful eye though.
Most Americans believed his privileged life got him off easy. If he was a person of color, they would lock the individuals up for the rest of their lives.
His sentence was criticized by the junk food media for being too damn light. The judge who handed Turner his fate faced harsh criticism. This became a national outcry over how the justice system treats sexual assault.
Turner who is 21 years old heads to his folks home in Dayton, Ohio. He will be heading to the local probation office to register his life to the state. Wherever he goes, that label will follow him.
State judge Aaron Persky faces the ire of voters. They want his ass gone. He fired himself out the cannon recently. Persky will not do criminal trials anymore. He will deal with traffic violations for the time being.
The judge said that Turner's actions left a "severe impact" on a promising future. That outraged the victim. Sexual assault victims often are shamed for the way they dress, the way they act around people and the actions they do while under the influence of alcohol.
Most rape victims never report to the law out of fear.
Reminder: The junk food media loves "hot teacher" stories. Some educators are sexually assaulting their students. Some of these educators are hot attractive white women. I have yet to see a "hot teacher" get a lengthy sentence for having a sexual encounter with a twelve year old child.
This needs to change.
Anyone accused of having rape a person should be charged with a crime. They should be convicted in a court of law. They are innocent until proven guilty of course. The court of public opinion shouldn't matter. The judge, prosecutor and jury are the things that matter.
RAPE IS RAPE.
CONSENT DOESN'T MEAN HAVE YOUR WAY WITH THE VICTIM.
Someone hacked the Cincinnati Zoo's account in the wake of the Harambe killing.
Animal rights activists are still pissed over the death of the gorilla Harambe. This year, a boy fell into the enclosure of the gorillas. The zoo had no choice but to kill the gorilla after he grabbed the boy and dragged him around. International outrage was directed at the zoo and the mother of the child.
The concern trolls were calling for an indictment of the mother because of this.
These assholes are more concerned about the life of a gorilla than the life of a child.
Well this week, a hacker decided to run a train on the zoo.
Someone actually hacked into the official Twitter account of the Cincinnati Zoo and started to post silly memes about Harambe.
Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard was none too happy about this. He asked for the activists to consider the difficult time the zoo is facing.
“Our zoo family is still healing, and the constant mention of Harambe makes moving forward more difficult for us,” Maynard wrote. “We are honoring Harambe by redoubling our gorilla conservation efforts and encouraging others to join us.”
The zoo ended it's Twitter use after it lost the battle against the trolls.
Tashawna Gaines was the victim of a shooting in Dayton, Ohio.
The rust belt city of Dayton, Ohio had over 40 homicides this year. The most recent shootings this week has police chief Richard Biehl in the crosshairs.
Police were called to Gettysburg Avenue after they found a car riddled with bullets. A man and woman were brutally gunned down. We don't know if they survived that shooting. Later that night, they found a young woman shot in the back at the DeSoto Bass housing complex.
One of the victims names was released to the junk food media. Her name was Tashawna Gaines of Dayton. I quickly checked Facebook and found her profile.
Even in my own neighborhood, I heard seven rounds popped off. Fortunately no one was injured.
The Dayton Police and Montgomery County Sheriff's Department are dealing with the Long Hot Summer. Usually in urban communities, gun violence spike up during the summer.
The Dayton Daily News released the last shootings this month alone.
Tuesday, Aug. 16: Fatal shooting around 1:30 p.m. in the 5900 block of West Third Street. Victim ID’d as D’Juan Norvell, 32, of Dayton.
Saturday, Aug. 13: Shooting around 6 p.m. in the 2200 block of the 2200 block of Rustic Road in Dayton. Victim seriously hurt, taken to Miami Valley Hospital.

Friday, Aug. 12: Fatal shooting around 1:45 p.m. in the 1900 block of Auburn Avenue in Dayton. Victim ID’d as Dillon Ward, 25, of Dayton.
I assure you that at least 2,300 people are killed a day by gun violence. That's about 56 people a day have been a victim of gun violence.
Now you know that conservatives are so concerned about gun violence in the Black community.
I heard conservatives bring up "what about Black on Black crime" time and time again.
They play the role of "concern troll" when it comes to addressing Black violence. Since the rise of Black Lives Matter, conservatives have tried to dismiss the group as anti-cop and anti-White.
The group is pressing for police reform and accountability for officers who use deadly force in situations that didn't merit it. The group is concern about intraracial violence. Again, most of the victims of gun violence know the shooter.
These incidents have sparked discussion but it hasn't got the needle moving in Congress.
Congress won't pass a gun control law. They believe that it impedes on the Second Amendment.
Mind you Ohio and 30 other states have open carry laws. So it's perfectly legal to have a firearm in public. But if you use it in malicious ways, you forfeit your rights as a lawful citizen.
Still, if a Black man was walking in a White neighborhood with a firearm, the law will immediately arrive with guns drawn ordering the man to get on the ground or they'll shoot.
Republicans and some Democrats in particular are devoted to seeing Black genocide. They won't pass a simple background check. They won't hold straw sellers and buyers accountable for gun violence.
The families of gun crime victims can't sue the gun manufactures because the laws don't hold them responsible. The family of Jessica Ghawi were forced to pay the gun manufacture after they loss their case against the company that sold the firearm to the Aurora Colorado terrorist.
They want to keep White conservative men happy by allowing these loose restrictions on gun buys.
They want to punish Blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims with death if we carry firearms in public.
If any of these individuals pose with firearms on social media, we're regarded as liberals, thugs, illegals and terrorists.
I am done sending my condolences to the families of gun violence victims.
What is needed is accountability. The shooter needs to be held accountable for the actions. No doubt.
But what we need is a Congress who can get things done. We need to hold Republicans and Democrats accountable for their inept actions.
If you support allowing firearms in the hands of terrorists, gang members, human traffickers, those with mental issues and corrupt police officers, you're likely a Donald Trump and Mike Pence supporter.
