Education chief got blocked at the door. Betsy DeVos got a shout down by protesters.
The Department of Education secretary Betsy DeVos was blocked from entering a public school in Washington, DC. A small group of protesters got in her face and gave her a shout down.
DeVos who was confirmed on a 50-50 vote with vice fuhrer Mike Pence giving the tie-breaker vote.
DeVos, a wealthy Republican contributor to campaigns is accused of buying her way into the government. Her husband is the former CEO and current emiris of Amway.
Amway is a company known for entrapping people in a pyramid scheme. It's based in Grand Rapids.
Teacher unions and public school advocates believe that DeVos could take funding from schools and place it into "religious" based education facilities.
Her nomination and confirmation sparked fury among progressives and some conservatives. Some conservatives such as the turd flipper Michelle Malkin call the decision to nominate her a perfect example of Trump failing his promise to "drain the swamp."
DeVos was ridiculed for recently saying that guns in schools might be necessary to ward off grizzly bear attacks. Critics believe that she is freaking clueless when it comes to public schools. Her own children do not attend public school.
She shrugged off the protesters and eventually went into the building a few minutes later.
"I respect peaceful protest, and I will not be deterred in executing the vital mission of the Department of Education," said DeVos. "No school door in America will be blocked from those seeking to help our nation's school children."
The interns got the best of the inept guards and medical officials at Vaughn in Smyrna, Delaware.
Now the fuhrer, governor John C. Carney, Jr., and the FBI are notified of the situation.
The took four workers hostage. They demand that Vaughn workers treat the interns with respect. They believe that the fuhrer's treatment of Americans in the iron college. They want education and rehabilitation for all interns. They want their books to be monitored and not abused by guards.
The hostage situation drew dozens of officers and law enforcement vehicles to the facility.
One of the hostages was released tonight and another one was released a few hours later.
We will get back with you on the latest going on with Vaughn.
Massive protests happened today and it's grabbed the attention of the junk food media.
This protest was huge. It may have overshadowed the fuhrer's inauguration.
The protests against Republicans and their fuhrer will be ignored. The only way this is ignored is the protesters may find no interest in getting people out to vote. If they were capable of being out after the fact, why the hell they couldn't show up at the ballot box?
I am not a concern troll, but it sure would be nice to see this type of action in 2018 and 2020.
Nonetheless hundreds of thousands attended the big cities to call out Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence for winning on the negative. Many women are vowing to oppose Republican attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, repeal Obamacare and limit access to choice.
Major entertainers and politicians came out to the DC event to rally progressives to resist the government.
The Women's March is the sign of how many American women oppose policies proposed by Republican lawmakers. It also assures that Hillary Clinton supporters aren't going away quietly.
I refuse to tolerate hate. I refuse to tolerate intolerance. I refuse to tolerate sexism, favoritism, nepotism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and xenophobia.
I reject White extremism.
I reject Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence. I reject the notion that "we should get over it!"
And for the next four or eight years, I am going to be unrepentant. I will oppose Republicans if they decide to take us back to the "good ol' days!"
I support the Women's March and I hope to see more activism during the four years of Trump.
To all those who served in the U.S. Military, thank you!
The men and women who served our military don't get the respect they deserve. I am truly proud of you. You served the country in times of war and peace.
Today is Veterans Day.
Say thank you to those who served in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, the National Guard and U.S. Coast Guard.
Even though, I will not show any support towards your future commander-and-chief, I will at least give you the credit you deserve for making this country safe. I don't want to sound mean spirited but you gave us the right to protest injustice.
As the reality television star and bombastic agitator becomes our 45th President of the United States, I want to thank President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden for their service to our nation.
They don't get the credit they deserve for all the hard work they've done in Washington, DC.
When the reality television star and his foreign born wife occupy the White House, I will be prepared to go after them the way the alt-right went after the Obamas.
I dare any of these alt-right bastards call me anti-American. I don't have to support their president.
Now the ball is in their court. I promise you no mercy towards the Republican controlled government and their allies in the junk food media.
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.
The guy who pointed a firearm at residents is still alive. He is the under secretary for the U.S. Navy.
Looks like another person waving in the public a firearm is alive and well. While people like Alva Braziel are gunned down for waving a firearm, a top deputy for the U.S. Navy is alive and allowed to keep his firearm.
Although he will face a disciplinary hearing, Karnig Ohannessian will be able to walk the streets without an officer pulling him over and restraining him.
This happened in early July. It was recorded by a family and sent to CBS News. The Deputy Assistant Secretary to the Navy stands on a sidewalk in front of a two-story home.
He went to argue with the young men, telling them to leave and pointing his gun at them. A woman grabs her camera phone and tries to calm him down.
Fairfax County police came to the residence and arrested him. He was detained for a few hours and then released.
Ohannessian went silent after the junk food media found out he was the person who pointed the firearm at the young men.
Activist who protested in Ferguson charged with prostitution.
The Blame Game once again in effect and guess who take the fall for the actions of a man!
The Fox News folks are gleefully saying that a #BlackLivesMatter member reportedly charged with human trafficking and prostitution.
They say that Charles Wade is a member of the organization and was involved in the protest in Ferguson was arrested and charged last month with these criminal acts.
The local junk food media reports that Wade was arrested in April allegedly hiring out a 17-year old teen for sex in College Park, Maryland. The suspect was making a purchase on backpage.com, a website notorious for exploiting prostitution.
The operation was discovered by undercovers.
The Daily Caller obtained information about Wade. The suspect is charged with seven counts, including felonies for human trafficking. These charges could be federal and have the suspect in federal time out for 25 years or LIFE.
Wade in Cleveland protesting the Tamir Rice shooting.
Wade got his get out of jail free card and ducked the junk food media.
Now here's the real kicker, the real organization that the suspect operates isn't affiliated with #BlackLivesMatter. The suspect currently runs "Operation Help or Hush", a non-profit organization created during the Ferguson protests
The suspect was funding a center for children and youth near Ferguson.
He was included in a profile by The Washington Post of activists involved in the August 2014 shooting of Michael Brown by former police officer Darren Wilson.
Last year, the suspect was involved in an altercation with a Cleveland hotel worker after they got into a heated argument with the manager of the hotel.
So here we go again! The actions of one man represents the whole according to the racist right.
Again, the suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. If found guilty, he will be sent to the iron college. He might have to register as a TIER offender.
Another senseless mass shooting in the country and the junk food media covers it.
As expected, another mass shooting will grab the nation's attention. There were shootings at a Maryland mall, a grocery store and a school within a 24 hour period. The terrorist was a part of the federal witness protection unit. That means he's a federal vice officer.
President Barack Obama, Maryland governor Larry Hogan and Washington, DC mayor Muriel Bowser will be notified and express condolences to the families lost in these senseless tragedies.
Eulalio Tordil, a former federal officer cause a few days of terrorism in suburban Washington, DC.
He was placed in the freezer after allegations of spousal and child abuse surfaced. The terrorist struck up a conservation with a woman before he pulled out a semi-automatic firearm. He would shoot her a point blank range and then attack the people who came to the aid of the woman. One of the men who rushed to the aid was killed.
The first victim of this tragedy was the terrorist's wife.
There was a shooting a local high school where four people were injured by the violent acts of this terrorist.
The first victim of this mass shooting was his wife Gladys. That piece of paper drove Tordil crazy.
Gladys served him with a restraining order after she called the law on him after he assaulted her.
Montgomery County police believe that he is also behind two additional deadly shootings on Friday in Montgomery County. One man died and two other victims were treated after a shooting at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, and a woman was killed at a Giant grocery store in Aspen Hill.
In Thursday’s incident, a bystander, another parent who tried to intervene, was also shot, but he is expected to survive, the Prince George’s County Police Department said in a press release. His name was not released.
Thursday’s shooting happened at about 4:30 p.m. at High Point High School in Beltsville, according to police. No students were injured and it was not an active shooter situation, police said.
The terrorist worked for the feds.
Mind you this terrorist is of Asian American descent and is a federal police officer.
Cue the conservative outrage. Who are they going to blame for this situation? Since it's not a White person, automatically he's a liberal. He comes from the metro Washington, DC area, a strong Democratic area. He is a federal worker. The conservatives complain that the government is huge and the Republicans want to shrink government. He's Asian, so I am assuring that racial arsonist Colin Flaherty will waste no time trying to make the case about Black on whatever violence.
Conservatives will say that "if I was there...." or "the state laws hurt arming citizens in tragedies" excuse.
Here's a poll for you.
The mass shooting in Maryland. The suspect was caught. Who actually takes the blame in this senseless tragedy?
World News Today send our condolences to the families of the victims lost in these senseless tragedies. Unfortunately Congress refuses to pass regulations to curb gun violence. The 114th session of Congress controlled by Republicans is inept. The most unproductive Congress ever in American history is more concerned about winning the presidency and control of the upcoming 115th Congress.
Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will debate these issues and offer little to no suggestions to curb the rise in American gun violence.
The terrorist was taken in custody without incident. The terrorist will face federal charges and state charges. Federal charges could carry the GAS. State charges could land him in the iron college for LIFE. The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty.
Also noticed that he was taken in without incident. Think of the Black, Muslim or Hispanic mass shooters. They would be gunned down within a bat of an eyelash.
About 46.3 people a day are injured or killed by gun violence and no one but the victims seems to care. I mean how many more people will have to be buried?
Why is it easier to get a firearm but not a voter registration?
Why is it easier to purchase multiple firearms but you can't smoke weed in a public venue?
Terrorist panicked Washington, DC with a pellet gun. The terrorist caused a panic at the U.S. Capitol in a politically motivated attack.
There was a shooting at the U.S. Capitol today. A terrorist panicked Washington, DC with a toy gun.
The incident allowed innocent civilians at the Capitol Visitor Center get injured. The DC Capitol Police put the threat down.
Officers shot and injured the threat around 3pm after he entered the north screening area of the Capitol Visitor Center and drew a weapon. It turns out that the terrorist had a pellet gun. So I am guessing he was trying to commit suicide by cop.
The terrorist was taken to a local hospital and was being treated for his injuries. An uninvolved bystander was injured and taken to a local hospital. The terrorist was a former pastor at St. Luke’s Community Church in Nashville, according to his Facebook page and the church’s website.
Panic in Washington, DC.
The terrorist cause the Capitol to shut down, the White House to shut down. It disrupted traffic along Interstate 395 and Interstate 695. Washington, DC was fearing that this was an act of terrorism caused by a Muslim.
Of course, that's what our conservative agitators in the junk food media were hoping for.
They wanted to continue this tongue flexing of how they can stop the so-evil "radical" Islam.
The terrorist is named Larry Russell Dawson. He's a man from Tennessee who was a Prophet of God.
Now he's a Black man, a Christian extremist and a legal owner of a firearm. Who's gonna get the blame for this?
In the wake of the DC Capitol shooting, the suspect was caught. Who takes the blame in this controversy?
Tell you what! Congress won't move the needle on gun violence. Even though this threat was considered a nut job, this stuff is happening way too much. This terrorist could have been strapped with explosives and would have been a perfect example of a suicide bomber.
Yeah, since he's a Christian extremist, you won't hear much about that. Since he's complaining about raising the minimum wage, a goal liberals want accomplished, conservatives will single out President Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton for this terrorist actions.
Of course, when this terrorist is released from the hospital, he will face federal charges. The charges could put this terrorist in federal time out for LIFE.
The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty.
World News Today sends our prayers to those injured in this senseless act of ignorance.
The cops mistaken this cop for a thug! This Jacai Colson, a Prince George's County police officer killed by "friendly fire".
It's already posted on social media and the #AllLivesMatter bigots already assumed the suspects were responsible for the fatal shooting of Jacai Colson, a four year veteran of the Prince George's County police department.
Well I will admit I was wrong. The shooting was an unfortunate act of mistaken identity and I'm not buying that "friendly fire" excuse.
Although the suspects were indicted on the murder of law enforcement, the officer who fired the weapon may face charges too.
Four officers will face the freezer for firing the weapons. The one who pulled the fatal blow to Jacai will face the heat.
The brothers Ford held on murder charges.
Anyway, Reuters report that Jacai was undercover. He was in plain clothes and the officers didn't even know he was a mole. The suspect with a history of mental illness began shooting outside a police station as his two brothers videotaped the action, authorities said on Monday.
Police said the accused gunman, 22-year-old Michael Ford of Landover, Maryland, appeared ready to die. He recorded his last will and testament on a cell phone just minutes before his two brothers, 21-year-old Malik Ford and 18-year-old Elijah Ford, drove him to police headquarters.
Michael Ford suffered non-threatening gunshot wounds in the incident, police said.
Chief Hank Stawinski said at a Monday afternoon press conference that Ford, who has a history of mental illness, appears to have begun firing at random, aiming at the police building, parked cars and an ambulance.
Colson fired back almost immediately and ended up drawing fire, giving other officers a chance to get into position, Stawinski said. Preliminary evidence showed he was hit by another officer's bullet.
"He demonstrated extreme heroism," the chief said.
At least one of the brothers stood nearby and recorded the gunfight on his phone, police said.
The Ford brothers are innocent until proven guilty.
Of course, since the victim was Black police officer and the alleged shooters (or uninteded accomplices) were Black, expect concern racist Colin Flaherty to make the case for Black on whatever violence.
A plainclothes officer who happens to be Black was gunned down because he did his job.
The concern racist Flaherty operates a website called...... and its devoted to making the case that Black people are causing criminal acts and the junk food media isn't focused on it. Of course he's a huge Donald Trump supporter so I assume that he's feeding Trump the bullshit of racially-motivated violence by Black people.
Four year veteran of Prince George's County murdered by callous terrorists. Jacai Colson was a 28-year old member of the law and lost his life serving his community.
Tragic shooting in Maryland. A four year veteran of the Prince George's County police was shot and killed. The terrorists in the fatal shooting were local brothers.
Malik and Michael Ford, were the terrorists. They came from suburban Washington, DC and they allegedly ambushed lawmen.
Police claim that the brothers were wounded after getting into a firefight with the law.
Jacai Colson was killed after the gunfire settled. He was a undercover narcotics officer who worked on the force for four years. He was shot outside the police station on Sunday afternoon. His fellow officers rushed him to the hospital, where he would die of his injuries.
Police did not release a motive for the shooting, and Prince George's Police Chief Hank Stawinski told reporters that the attack "wasn't about anything".
One of the terrorist was taken into custody after being hit with gunfire. The other was caught by Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits a few blocks from the shooting.
Malik and Michael Ford are innocent until proven guilty. The charges alone could put these two in the iron college for LIFE. I believe Maryland doesn't have the legal execution.
As expected, the concern troll will react to the death of the police officer. Seeing that the officer slain was Black and the terrorist were Black, conservatives will run this nonsense about how #BlackLivesMatter, Barack Obama or whatever entity are "truly" responsible for the "act of cowardice".
Therefore, here's a poll for you!
The law has caught the suspects in the killing of a Maryland police officer. Who really takes the blame for this?
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Jacai Colson.
While the junk food media focused on Donald Trump getting shaken by a protester, Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton won the night.
Trump sucks all the oxygen out the room. Did you know that the state of Wyoming, the District of Columbia along with the U.S. territories of Guam and Northern Mariana Islands held their contests?
Well if you didn't know about, I'll tell you!
Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton came out big winners in the contests, respectively.
Northern Mariana Islands and Guam are located in the North Pacific Ocean on the opposite of the International Date Line. The Northern Marianas held its first Democratic caucus. Guam held its Republican caucus.
Hillary Clinton won the Democratic caucus and took home 4 pledged delegates.
Guam went to Ted Cruz in an overwhelming landslide.
Ted Cruz won the conservative state of Wyoming. He ends up picking up 9 pledged delegates. It was a blowout for the controversial senator.
Even the struggling Marco Rubio won the District of Columbia.
Donald Trump still leads in the national polls and leading handily in the delegates.
Republican establishment figures blame President Barack Obama for creating the nonsense by which is Donald Trump. Obama bucked the Republicans by saying, their partisan antics created this.
The Republican Party is fucked up. Seriously the party is majority WHITE, too conservative, and too rigid. Donald Trump could wrap this up if he wins Florida and Ohio. The Republicans created the mess that made Trump a figure in their party. The rules are thrown out.
He's bring together the extremists that cheered when he demanded Obama's birth certificate. He's bringing extremists who believe immigrants, Muslims, poor people and Blacks with grievances are the real threat to the country.
It's getting worse and I hope to god that we avoid electing a Republican for president.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are weak candidates. But they're far better than Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Marco Rubio.
U.S. Army sergeant kills a first year officer on her first night.
Now as another tragic gun shooting happened in Virginia. This one involved an Army staff sergeant assigned to the Pentagon. The terrorist murdered his wife and an officer who worked for the Prince William County police department.
The terrorist named Ronald Williams Hamilton murdered his wife Crystal and then went into combat mode and aimed at three officers. One officer who was hit was Ashley Guindon, a first year rookie. Ashley was a Marine combat veteran who started as an intern for the police department.
Matter of fact, she was sworn to duty a few days ago. This was the officer's first shift on Saturday night.
The terrorist killed his wife Crystal Hamilton and a Virginia officer.
The Associated Press and Washington Post report that the terrorist is suspected of killing his wife and the officer in his home in Woodbridge, a city about 25 miles from Washington, DC.
He faces capital murder and this charge alone in Virginia carries the PILL KILL (DEATH SENTENCE). Matter of fact, he will automatically face a court martial. The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty.
"We ask for everyone's thoughts and prayers as our department deals with this tragic loss," the Prince Williams County police department released to the press.
The other officers were injured were Jesse Hempen and David McKeown. They were treated for their injuries and will survive the shooting.
Of course, the problem that is missing from the equation is the fact that this terrorist had mental issues or was the "NICE GUY" with a gun.
Terrorist held on capital murder of an officer and his wife.
A domestic dispute lead to the police encounter. The suspect prepared for their arrival. He used his military training and quickly took to action when the officers approached his door.
He shot that officer at a pointed angle where it hit her in the neck. That injury alone killed her upon impact.
Of course, since the victims were White and the suspect was Black, here comes the goddamn blame game.
Who deserves the blame in the death of a Virginia police officer?
Right now, that racial extremist Bill Cunningham is making light of controversies in Kansas, Ohio, and Virginia. Instead of blaming the shooter, the racial extremists would fault the president and #BlackLivesMatter for the shooting. Cunningham and other racial extremists would deliberately make the race of the suspect an issue.
Cunningham is a notorious race baiter who has a radio program in Cincinnati. He also has a syndicated talk show on many CW stations. He's rewarded for spewing hate.
The conservatives are now hyping up Black on Whatever violence. The incidents in Kansas, Ohio, and now Virginia have gotten much attention because the suspects are Black.
No mentions of the Kalamazoo terrorist by Bill Cunningham or Colin Flaherty. No mentions of the Klan clashing with protesters in California. Three people were injured by a stabbing. One of the Klan members had a pointed flag pole. That Klan man stabbed three and one gotten critical injuries.
No mentions of the execution style murders of three innocent Muslim men in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
No mentions of the murder-suicide and police shooting in Washington state.
Yeah, you never hear that in the news. It doesn't fit the narrative.
World News Today sends our condolences to the families of Crystal Hamilton and Ashley Guindon.
We also send our condolences to the victims of gun violence mentioned and not mentioned by the junk food media. We condemn the agitators who exploit these tragedies for political blame.
Black men who are gay or bisexual face the threat of HIV infection at greater rates.
Users of heroin and Black men are driving the HIV epidemic back up to record highs.
You heard of the "down low".
Urban slang for Black men who are secretly "bisexual" or "gay". They want to give the impression that they're "straight" but are trying to repress their feelings towards men or transgender women.
Men love sex. They don't care what happens as long as they get their sexual fantasies off, the men are satisfied.
They end up having sex with men and women at numerous rates. Some are willing to spread the HIV virus in malicious ways to their partners or spouses.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that one in 64 men and one in 227 women in the United States will be diagnosed with HIV at current rates. For black and Hispanic people, however, that risk increases dramatically.
The Daily Beast reports that the dangers are still prevalent in the Black and Hispanic communities. Regardless of sexual orientation, one in 20 black men and one in 48 black women will be diagnosed with the virus that causes AIDS in their lifetimes, according to the CDC. For Hispanic men and women, the risks are one in 48 and one in 227, respectively.
White people have the lowest chance of an HIV diagnosis, with an overall lifetime risk of less than one percent. Gay and bisexual white men still have a lifetime risk of one in 11, though.
The CDC’s projections are based on data about HIV diagnoses and death rates collected from 2009 to 2013, and they assume that rates of new diagnoses remain constant. If that’s the case, one in six men who have sex with other men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetimes.
“These estimates are a sobering reminder that gay and bisexual men face an unacceptably high risk for HIV—and of the urgent need for action,” said Dr. Eugene McCray, director of the CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. “If we work to ensure that every American has access to the prevention tools we know work, we can avoid the outcomes projected in this study.”
For Hispanic people living in the United States, the CDC has already outlined an array of factors behind the alarming rate of new infections: a high prevalence of HIV, poverty and lack of health insurance coverage, “machismo” that can encourage men to engage in risky sexual behavior as a show of strength, and reluctance to access prevention services for fear of revealing one’s immigration status.
For black people, CDC resources show, prevention challenges are similar: poverty, stigma, barriers to health care access, and too few people knowing their status. Risk in black communities is especially high, the CDC notes, because “African Americans tend to have sex with partners of the same race/ethnicity mean[ing] that [they] face a greater risk of HIV infection with each new sexual encounter.”
According to the CDC’s new projections, all of the states with the highest lifetime risk for HIV are in the South, with the exceptions of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. All of these states and the South tend to have large black and Hispanic populations, higher rates of poverty, and less health-insurance coverage.
The CDC estimates that HIV risk is highest in Maryland, Georgia, Louisiana, and Florida, with about 2 percent of these states’ populations believed to test HIV positive eventually.
No single area may be worst-hit than Washington, D.C., which is nearly 50 percent black and 10 percent Latino. According to the CDC’s projections, a staggering one in 13 D.C. residents will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetimes.
But the CDC doesn’t want its projections to be interpreted as a death sentence.
“As alarming as these lifetime risk estimates are, they are not a foregone conclusion. They are a call to action,” said Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of the CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention.
If the U.S. can reduce new infections, those lifetime risk numbers will go down, too. The CDC’s current prevention approach emphasizes HIV testing, condom use, treatment for those who have already been diagnosed, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a daily medication that has been shown to reduce risk by more than 90 percent when used correctly.
“The prevention and care strategies we have at our disposal today provide a promising outlook for future reductions of HIV infections and disparities in the U.S.,” said Dr. Mermin, “but hundreds of thousands of people will be diagnosed in their lifetime if we don’t scale up efforts now.”
Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) went down hard in the race for Governor in Louisiana. The Republican's dirty little sins became a campaign issue. He was one of the most corrupt lawmakers in Washington.
Even though President Barack Obama is strongly disliked in the state of Louisiana, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) is way worse than Obama.
This was suppose to be an easy election for the Republicans. It turned out to be a disaster. The general election didn't merit a 50% vote for Vitter and the Democrat. It forced a run-off election.
The Republican candidates that dropped out the race decided to throw their weight into helping the Democrat win this election.
It seems like the Republicans got one lost on their belt. The state elected a Democrat to hold the chair in Baton Rouge.
In a run-off election, John Bel Edwards, a state lawmaker ended up winning the 50% plurality vote.
The leadership of Governor Bobby Jindal was an epic disaster. Many voters felt that Republican leadership didn't help the state.
Jindal took a hard line stance on issues especially when running the government and for that he suffered. He gonna leave the governor's mansion with high disapproval.
Democrat John Bel Edwards is governor-elect. In Louisiana, many of their lawmakers are corrupt. Will Bel Edwards disspell the tradition?
Bel Edwards victory doesn't really help the Democrats. The governor-elect is a conservative Democrat who supports weak gun laws and is anti-abortion. He support more oil drilling and urban sprawl.
Vitter was a clear front runner. Vitter tried to play the race card, the fear card and the "he's a liberal" card. Vitter mocked Obama for being a "ungodly" leader. None of this shit worked for him.
His sex scandals and ties to shady individuals became the anchor around his neck. The late Debra Jean Pelfrey was the DC Madam and she ran a hoe train. The hoe train got a handful of lawmakers and government workers in the book. The book had Vitter's name in it.
It became a lightening rod in the race.
Republicans and Democrats believed that Vitter's ties to Washington and his sex scandal doom his chances at winning.
Vitter was voted one of the most corrupt lawmakers in Washington.
Paging Melanie Sloan...
Her organization the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington called Vitter one of the worst lawmakers to hold office. The ethics were so off the hook, Vitter was under federal watch.
Besides the prostitutes, he gave kickbacks to the polluters. He managed to win elections despite having these controversies swarm him.
Now as a result of the loss, Vitter can't run for reelection in 2016.
Now Republicans must defend a crucial seat to retain their majority.
Well, I just got home today and now I'm home posting about the 11 hour Congressional Select Committee on Benghazi.
From 10am to 9pm, former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic candidate for president, Hillary Clinton comes to Washington to testify about the situation.
The Republican-sponsored investigation in the September 11th, 2012 tragedy in the seaside Libyan city. The American ambassador Chris Stevens and three men died in an attack on the CIA-sanctioned U.S. Consulate.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is the chair of the committee. He along with a handful of Republicans grilled Hillary Clinton today. Many of the Republicans managed to get a piece of her.
Memorable moments were an exchange between Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) and Clinton.
Clinton laughed at Roby when a question about Clinton's personal business. Of course, Roby wasn't thrilled that she laughed at her.
Rep. Pet Roskam (R-IL) has a turn.
Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) was trying his best.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) the insurgent leader also got a grill in. "Where'd the false narrative [the YouTube anti-Muslim video] start? It started from you!
In regards to the unrest in the Middle East after the release Innocence of Muslim, a controversial movie trailer being shown in translated language.
While I seriously believe that the Republicans intentionally created this committee in order to stop Hillary Clinton from winning the election, Republicans tell the public that they're not here to hurt her chances. They're there to find out the truth.
Democrats offered the most defense towards Clinton.
Rep. Ellijah Cummings (D-MD) blasted the committee as being a ploy for "gotcha moments".
He and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) put Gowdy on blast for this $5 million disaster called a investigation.
That network that obsesses over Hillary Clinton's emails was first to cut away from programming.
MSNBC and CNN ran through the hearing with exceptions to committee breaks.
Many see this a game changer for Hillary Clinton. The candidate was struggling throughout the summer and conservatives were hoping that Vice President Joe Biden would jump into the race.,
Many conservatives believe that Clinton may end up in federal time out. This is the wet dream for many conservatives. They believe that Clinton violated federal law. They seriously believe that she would order a stand down when there's an attack on an American embassy. They are trying to paint President Barack Obama as weak on terrorism.
America is ready to move past the Benghazi controversy. Many people don't really give a crap about Clinton's emails or the pinata Sidney Blumenthal.
She had a bubbly smile. Family and friends mourn the lost of Zella Ziona. The young transgender woman was murdered in suburban Washington, DC by a man who had a "gay panic".
I've been really busy over the last few days. I didn't get an opportunity to post much this weekend.
So many things are happening, I couldn't catch up to it. But one thing I've followed is the deaths of transgender women. This year there have been over 20 transgender women killed in the United States. Most of women were of color.
The names are not known by the junk food media, but many in the LGBT community have encouraged #BlackLivesMatter to rally for their cause.
The junk food media doesn't often talk about their lives. Many would regard them as "men in drag".
Some of these suspects would often have a "gay panic" if they found out their girlfriend was born a boy. Many in the transgender community believe that if you're identified as a woman or a man and you're attracted to the opposite sex, they would consider it heterosexual. Transgender women are attracted to straight men. Transgender men are attracted to straight women. They don't want to be labeled "gay" or "straight" in their relationships. They want to be labeled a "loving couple".
The junk food media doesn't often look at their stories.
Some of the victims were of the stroll. Some men would often pick up ladies and ask them for sexual favors. Many of the women had futures and it's damn shame that these lives were lost.
Let's clear something up. I understand that many in the Black community still have intolerance towards those in the LGBT community. I know that some people love to shame "straight" men who engage in sexual contact with transgender women and gay men. In turn that sparks the gay panic.
A gay panic will result in the "straight" man engaging in a violent act towards a victim because of a purported psychiatric condition called homosexual panic.
The Advocate keeps track of the numerous victims murdered this year alone. These women were murdered because they were transgender.
The gay shame happens when a scorned gay partner wants to expose their straight sexual partner to the general public. In turn, it becomes a gay panic and then turns into a dangerous situation for the person.
A gay panic involves the person who exposed the "straight" partner getting either assaulted or killed by that person. In the Black community, the straight partner will risk their freedom to protect their cred among their fellow peers.
Why they invented the down-low?
Because men who don't acknowledge themselves a "gay or bisexual" have these affairs with women and men outside of their relationships. Some men look at it as "I can have my cake and eat too" theory.
Because they can't hide their passions. All men love sex. Men enjoy the pleasure of being involved in sex with a partner. Regardless of the partner being a man or a woman, the alpha male will satisfy his needs with that person.
The key suspect in the murder of Zella Ziona said that she embarrassed him in front of friends. He claims that he had a "gay panic". This callous murderer is held on murder and possible hate crime charges.
In turn they create the possibility of spreading HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis in the Black community. Most of the times, they refuse to wear condoms and end up having unwanted children or an incurable disease.
They end up having Jerry Springer/Maury Povich moments.
Most celebrities in the Black community typically hip-hop and action movies go forth with the masculinity and a sense of having the baddest bitches at their side. They also rant about weaker men (or perceived gay men) as being "faggots" and "pussies ass Niggas".
Don't get me wrong, what people do in the bedrooms is solely their business.
I have no problem with the LGBT community. They're entitled to live their lives in peace and harmony. They deserve the right to marry. They're not bothering me. So let them celebrate their love in union.
So many names listed. MSNBC's Janet Mock reads the names of transgender women murdered in 2015.
I do have a problem with the junk food media labeling the victims by their birth names. They don't identify themselves as "males". They want to be addressed as women. Will the junk food media respect that?
There were 20 women so far mentioned. Some had managed to attract national attention. Others were swept under the radar.
These women died. Some of the suspects were apprehended. Some cases are still unresolved.
And the most recent murder of a transgender woman has now gotten national attention.
Zella Ziona was from suburban Washington, DC. Her life was cut short after an altercation with a group of teenagers.
"They argued and things happened so fast," the witness, who didn't want to be named, told the station. "I don't know what they argued for."
Her body was found in an alley with a gunshot directly towards her head. The alleged suspect Rico Hector Leblond was sought. According to witnesses, Leblond was pissed that Zella confronted him in front of his friends. Zella was pissed that the suspect spurning her.
The suspect claimed Zella was acting "flamboyantly" around him.
That's no excuse for this senseless act of violence.
The Montgomery County Maryland Sheriff ruled this a homicide and possible hate crime.
Her death would make 21 transgender women of color killed this year alone.
World News Today send our condolences those lost in this senseless tragedy.
