National Adoption Day!
Today is National Adoption Day.
A number of courts and communities in the United States come together to finalize thousands of children from foster care. More than 300 events are held each year on the Saturday before the Thanksgiving weekend.
In the U.S. and Puerto Rico, many American children in foster care will be adopted.
About 40,000 children could be adopted a year from foster care.
It was started by The Alliance for Children's Rice, Children's Action Network, the Freddie Mac Foundation and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
The Wendy's founder Dave Thomas grew up in a foster home and before he started one of the country's largest fast food restaurants, he devoted his life to community service.
He would create the foundation to help young children find homes.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the definition of marriage is bound by two loving couples. Now straight and gay couples across the United States will have an opportunity to adopt children.
My community has the Montgomery County Job and Family Services. The adoption home sits on 1921 North Main Street. It's been there for years. The adoption agency is devoted to help children find homes.
World News Today offers our support to National Adoption Day.
No child should not be without a home.
Kylie Jenner Put The Tyga Out!
Tyga broke and single. His controversial relationship with Kylie Jenner is over. |
Michael Ray Nguyen Stevenson (aka Tyga) is officially a washed up rapper. He's burn more homes during his rise to fame and never was charged with arson.
Now he won't have that side chick anymore. Kylie Jenner put the Tyga out.
They are officially broke up.
To make it more embarrassing for the Compton rapper, Kylie broke up with him on his birthday.
Tyga And Kylie Jenner Have Broken Up. Good Thing Or Bad Thing?
Tyga who sparked the internal feud within the Young Money/Cash Money label has been blackballed after he went to the junk food media to blast Drake and Nicki Minaj.
Drake took Tyga to the woodshed. The mother of his son, Blac Chyna went after him for cheating on her with an underage spoiled brat.
The Fan of Fan collaboration album with fellow washed up singer Chris Brown and Last Kings: The Gold Album 18th Dynasty flopped.
Tyga was surviving on the much controversial relationship with the now 18 year old celebrity agitator.
Tyga was going broke fast. He failed to pay his rent on his luxury home. He got Kylie a Lamborghini on rental. He was spoiling this teenager more than his son.
Tyga also played on his numerous flings. One fling, transgender porn star Mia Isabella told the junk food media that he does it "NASTY".
Tyga was allegedly caught sexting a stripper.
Many in the Kardashian and Jenner household were so relieved to hear that Tyga was kicked to the curb. They knew he was up to no good. He couldn't help his libido.
Chris Brown and Blac Chyna had came to his rescue. They were spotted with the rapper trying to at least cheer him up.

Why Is The Media Avoiding Daniel Holtzclaw..But Focus On Cosby???
The media loves to cover up rape when nonblack men do it, but when it comes to Black men doing bad deeds to women of all races, they blow it up to the nth degree. I heard about this story from Black media for over a year.
Cop Walk In Dontae Martin Shooting!
Dontae Martin was killed by Ohio deputies. The deputies were cleared of his death. |
Two Montgomery County Ohio sheriff deputies are back on the beat after the grand jury decided that the shooting of Dontae Martin was justified. This is despite them having no lights or dash camera on.
They have determined that Dontae did point his firearm on the Gust Teague and Josh Haas.
They were placed in the freezer for a moment. I guess the grand jury found it necessary to prove that Martin's history as a petty drug dealer proved that he may have provoked a deadly encounter.
So in three weeks, the two officers will be back on the beat for the Harrison Township, Ohio jurisdiction.
The shooting happened about a 1/2 mile from where I live. The incident occurred on a tree lined Springbrook Boulevard. The deputies were responding to a single-car accident on the street.
A woman called 911 saying that vehicle was on the side of the road.
The deputies approached the vehicle with a flashlight and claimed that Martin was provoked. He pointed a firearm at the them. Martin was ordered to drop the firearm and when he failed to comply, the shot him.
He was shot from the opposite sides of the vehicle. The wounds were deadly. He would die on route to the hospital.
Republican Sheriff Phil Plummer defended his officers for the usage of deadly force. When asked if they have a dash camera or body camera on them, no comment came from him.
Now the father of six will be tarnished by the #AllLivesMatter crowd as a "no good thug". Even though he was purchasing a permit for his firearm, according to the law and the agitators, he shouldn't have a firearm in the first place.
Haas was the deputy who shot at a man who was deranged back in December 2014. He was cleared of charges. His wife was involved in a police vehicle accident this year.
THE ENCOUNTER WITH HAAS AND TEAGUE
Montgomery County sheriff is trying to calm tensions. |
A few of the deputies were caught off the job driving drunk. Even the sheriff's family member became a lightening rod for ethics violations while in office.
No one is perfect.
I know people who have criminal histories.
Does it make me a criminal that I know someone who is a criminal?
Does it merit profiling of me and those who ride in my vehicle?
I've known her for at least four years. The boy has destroyed her life. When she failed to pay her electric bill and her rent, she was kicked out her apartment. I sometimes carry my heart on my sleeve. I decided to take her in for a week.
One night, I took her to Kroger in the area. She wanted to go to her old apartment to get her stuff. I thought of it as a bad idea. She said nothing won't happen. She had no drugs on her and wasn't wanted for skipping court. But I know that perception would cause the law to profile. So as I approach a traffic light near my apartment, a sheriff's deputy (Teague) was sitting about a block away. I said you know what I don't want to be pulled over, so I decided to go forward. The officer saw us and decided to follow. Yeah, that gives the officer a perception. So he followed us for a few blocks. I decided to make a point by pulling over in a parking lot near a business. The officer sure enough decide to follow and then proceed to activate his lights.
He would ask us why did we decide to not turn on the street. I told him that I knew that if you would likely profile me and her because of her history. We both told the deputy that there's no drugs or weapons inside the vehicle and we're not doing anything wrong.
I decided to turn on my camera phone and record the encounter. I decided to make it clear to the officer that I have no criminal history and I know the person personally. I told the officer that I am not committing any criminal acts.
We told the officer "are we free to go"!
That tactic is used when they often try to bait you into an unlawful search of your vehicle.
The officer said "not yet, I'll be back!" So we wait for 10 minutes and then two officers would appear. The officers came with a drug sniffing German Shepard. The officer once again asked if we had drugs on us. I told them no and didn't consent to a drug search.
The officer decided to give me the verbal warning that if the dog detects a trace of drugs, they'll search the vehicle. So once again, admit that you or her have drugs or you're going to jail.
I told the officer and his supervisor (Haas), there's no drugs in the vehicle. So the officers decide to allow the dog get a whiff around the vehicle. The dog circled the vehicle and didn't do really much.
The officer flagged his fellow officers to a "hit". So they decide to place us in separate police vehicles for detainment. The officer go through the vehicle and take out the seats and glove compartment.
After 10 minutes they let us out the vehicle and they told us that we're free to go. While they were searching the vehicle it caught the officers saying that their dog's "hits" aren't netting good results.
I was hoping that day wasn't going to come but I will turn this recording to their supervisor.
I want to make a point that profiling is wrong. Dayton Police and Montgomery County Sheriff have denied profiling motorists. But the proof is in Dontae Martin, John Felton, and Kaylen English.
John is still alive. He managed to get the city of Dayton and its police chief Richard Biehl to formally apologize to him for a "profiling" situation.
Kaylen and Dontae weren't so lucky. The junk food media often see them as violent and their fates were justified.
She is often regarded by the law as a repeat offender when it comes to drug and prostitution charges. I fear that day will come when she's either killed by the boy or the john who may rob or rape her.
Send my condolences to the family of Kaylen English and Dontae Martin.
Send my prayers to John Felton.
BEFORE I MOVE ON, I WANT TO BRING UP LINDSAY BOGAN. THE OHIO WOMAN IS FEARED DEAD.
Lindsay Bogan went missing this year. She was last seen in Middletown, Ohio getting into a vehicle. |
Send my prayers to Lindsay Bogan, the missing Middletown, Ohio woman who was reported missing after her pimp claimed she got into a vehicle and was never seen again.
She was a woman who had a promising future in nursing. But things went wrong when she was introduced to the boy. She was hooked. She was in the Middletown stroll trying to feed the need.
She leaves behind a young child. The junk food media and Lindsay's family fear she may be dead.
The pimp Eric Sexton is facing charges for promoting prostitution and he's under federal watch. He is facing charges in Butler and Montgomery County for numerous criminal acts.
Jamar Clark Protests Continue In Minneapolis!
Disturbing photo of @MinneapolisPD ready to shoot US Rep @keithellison son. @MayorHodges save your city! #Jamarclark pic.twitter.com/icnC2hcHtd

It has attracted of the folks over at Raw Story. The son of Minnesota's Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison was filmed with his hands up while an officer was aiming his service weapon at him.
Jeremiah Ellison and others were removed from a protesting site close to the police station where the two officers were stationed at.
Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) and his children. His son Jeremiah was caught on camera with his hands up and the law pointing their high powered firearm at him. |
Late last year, the mayor was facing controversy from a local news station and the Minneapolis Police Union. Hodges was doing charity work for the city and she happened to be posing with an activist and doing a peace sign. They believed that peace sign was a gangsta sign. The activist was once a gang member who renounced his past and is working on encouraging youth to stay out of the lifestyle.
Minneapolis police shot Jamar Clark during an altercation in which they claimed he was disorderly.
The shooting happened on Saturday. Jamar was taken off life support Monday. Many in the junk food media initially thought he died at the scene.
The officers claimed that they responded to domestic violence call in which they determined that Jamar was the suspect.
They said that he interfered with the emergency workers. The officers placed Jamar in the cuffs. He was placed on the ground. They said that Jamar tried to reach for the firearm and Taser. Residents say that the officers shot him at point blank range at the whim of Jamar being handcuffed.
The officer who likely pulled the trigger is facing the most scrutiny.
It attracted BlackLivesMatter activists to the city demanding accountability.
Conservatives tried to paint the Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges as anti-cop because she took a picture pointing at an activist who was once a gang member. |
The Guardian reported that a former police informant sued Schwarze in 2011 for allegedly subjecting him to “continuous and unbroken sequence of unlawful searches, intimidation and phone threats.” The suit was settled out of court.
The protesters are pissed that the junk food media is releasing the information about Jamar and his run ins with the law.
Of course, Jamar wasn't armed at the time of his passing.
There is video evidence on their body cameras and also video from nearby buildings. Not to mention the social media. There may be someone who is willing to post the video on social media to disspell rumors.
What will the junk food media use? Will they use this picture or his mugshot? |
I am assured that other Clarke (the one with an e) will make an appearance in the controversy.
Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke is extremely controversial. He's an embarrassment to the people of Wisconsin. Clarke will likely say something about the controversy. He spends more time on television than at his office in the county building. The sheriff has made enemies within the county and they watching him for possible misconduct in his sheriff's department.
Ohio Man With Disability Mocked By A Bunch Of D**ks!
Springfield tire company faces heat for posting on social media a video degrading a homeless Black man. |
What you put on the internet could end up being there forever. Given the situation that three men are facing, they regret posting on Facebook their taunting of a disabled Black homeless man.
She took it to WHIO-TV, Dayton's most watched news agitator.
In Springfield, Ohio, the workers over at Jim's Used Tires are facing some heat. They were recording this encounter with Allan Deonne Dubose, a local man who has special needs and is regarded as homeless in the community.
While on the job, a worker whips out his camera phone and two of his co-workers were taunting him by calling him "boy" and whistling at him like an animal. Then one of the workers grabbed an air compressor and shot a bit of air on Allan.
They posted it on social media and shared it with a few of their friends. Well a friend of friend saw this and was applauded by this.
She took it to WHIO-TV, Dayton's most watched news agitator.
When one of the residents who aids Allan saw that video, she went right into the faces of the workers and owner. She demanded that they apologize to Allan or face a boycott from residents.
Allan Deonne Dubose thinks that the people who filmed him should grow up. |
Matreka Nache, who said she looks after Allan and lives in the neighborhood, said she approached the workers at the tire shop Thursday after seeing the video for the first time.
“Nobody deserves to be treated like that,” she said.
The shop’s owner, James Payton, calls what happened an ugly prank — the video was posted in May 2014 — and offered his apology to Allan and put his two workers on ice.
“We let him clean the trash out of the office, give him a little bit of change from time to time, coffee. They just got comfortable with him, in my opinion,” Payton said.
The owner said Allan has always been welcome at the shop and always will. He said he addressed the video months ago when he first saw it.
Thursday, he said the backlash has forced him to give the two employees the next two weeks off.
Allan said he thinks the men who pranked him should clean up their act, but he doesn’t want to see them punished.
Conservatives Blame ALL Muslims For Terrorism!
Muslims are Americans too. The Republicans and their conservative allies are stroking fear once again against Muslims for short term gains. |
One week since the mass shooting and bombing in Paris. We're still talking about it.
The word vomit "radical Islam" is being spewed by conservatives. It's a fucking shame that even though most Muslims condemn violence, they are blamed for almost every terrorist attack happening in the world.
We just don't get it....
I mean how many terrorist attacks happened in the United States since 2001?
We have more mass shootings in the United States and most of these violent acts are committed by Americans who have easy access to obtaining firearms.
The inept Congress panicked. They decided to pass reactionary laws that violate our promise to a be a "beacon of freedom" in the world.
Republicans aided by a few Democrats passed a bill that would cease the influx of refugees from Syria for the time being. The Republican-sponsored bill would make the FBI director personally sign off any Syrian who manages to pass the background checks. It will keep Syrians from entering the country for an additional 40 months.
Many of the candidates still running are calling for a border closing at the U.S.-Mexico border and a religious test.
Ted Cruz sponsored a bill that will revoke one's U.S. citizenship if you have an ounce of support for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Rand Paul sponsored a bill that will deny Syrians the safety net if they have family members who support "radical Islam". Lindsey Graham wants troops on the ground in Syria to destroy the Islamic State.
The front runner Donald Trump would establish monitoring of mosques and vows to shut them down if they attempt to plot massacres of Americans.
Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee wants Christian Syrians to come only into the United States.
Ben Carson had posted an inaccurate map of the states that oppose Syrian refugees. He referred refugees as rabid dogs. Marco Rubio has decided to call it a "clash of cultures" and the fight is against "Islam".
They are calling for identification badges and special restrictions for worshiping Muslims.
There was vandalism on mosques. An Indiana man tried to rip off a woman's headscarf last month. The Ahmed Mohammed clock controversy was a hot button issue. The draw Mohammed contest sponsored by right wing extremist Pam Geller this year sparked outrage.
And who are the real radicals in the United States?
I know that Muslims in the United States hate to hear their religion be used in these tragic attacks overseas.
The blame game seems to be a seasoning on the shit salad the Republicans prepare for the American people. This year alone, they've been reactionary in almost every thing that's happened here and abroad.
Republicans have pushed hateful agendas against Muslims, BlackLivesMatter, immigrants from Mexico and Planned Parenthood. None of these agendas seem to work when they can't get them passed given a rational president is occupying the White House.
Again, I rather have a rational president than a bunch of shit throwing morons who flex their tongue instead of their brain. I rather not profile Muslims, Black and Latino people for being criminals. I rather not see myself arguing with trolls over my love/hate relationship for this country.
World News Today send our condolences to the victims of the Bali attacks.
According to the junk food media, there were gunman who stormed a Radisson Inn in Bamako, Mali. There were people killed and two of the gunman had held 140 guest and 30 workers hostage.
There were guest who came from Algeria, India, Chinese, Russia, Turkey, France, Moroccan, and the United States.
No word of any hostages besides the three (1 French and 2 Malian). The gunmen may have been killed in this attack.

Jared Fogle Gets 15 In Federal Time Out!
Jared Fogle goes to federal time out. |
Once out he will register as a tier III sex offender for the rest of his life. He will have lost contact with his children, his wife and his vast fortune. He lost his "black card" with Subway.
All the fame, all the celebrities, all the luxury of being in the limelight is gone!
Fogle and his partner both had this obsession with popping little cherries. He was fixated on having sex with underage children.
He plead guilty to harboring child porn. He plead guilty to traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor.
He admits to the world that he had sex with underage girls and boys. He admits having sex with other women including prostitutes.
Fogle will now head to the FDX Marion. The federal time out is in Marion, Illinois. We'll find out where he will go. He's not a violent criminal. He is a sexual offender and they usually sent the interments to Marion for treatment.
Fogle tearfully apologized to the court and the victims as the judge handed him the sentence.
The lawyers were hoping for a five year bid on the basis of leniency. The prosecutors were hoping for 12 years and some change. The judge was more brutal. The judge saw Fogle as a selfish man who presents a danger to children. Fogle used his fortune to deliberately manipulate children into sexual encounters. The federal informant tipped off the law when she overheard him say that "teenage girls are sexy". Fogle told the federal informant that he wanted to have sex with her and two underage teens for his sexual fantasies and would gladly pay them for the encounter.
Now again, if you're caught up in a federal case and handed a sentence, you will serve the sentence in full. There's no early release in federal time out. You will serve all the sentence before they release you to post disposition control.
Fogle will be 54 years old by the time he gets out of the federal time out.

What Happened To John Livingston?
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 |
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. |
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.
Cruz: Say That S**t To My Face, Barack Obama!
Obama's comments about "popping off" riled up the Texas senator. |
The human soapbox of right wing insanity responds back to President Barack Obama.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was a tad bit annoyed by the president's remarks. The president basically put the Republicans on blast. He said that promoting religious tests is unpatriotic and un-American.
The president was annoyed with Republicans "popping off" about how he's not taking the threat seriously.
The president has pretty much taken the threat seriously. He's just not juggling balls and throwing pies at the terrorists. The president has said that the campaign against the Islamic State will take some time. He said that he doesn't want to put ground troops into Syria provoking another war in the Middle East. He said that the threats are here but Americans must be vigilant.
Don't come at me about how I handle things. |
Well the Republicans candidates aren't having it. They want to use the Paris attacks as a political football to push a hateful agenda against Muslims, refugees and immigrants.
Cruz, who is running for the Republican nomination is a turd flipper. The Texas sentator (who I refer to as a Stallmigo) boldly calls the president "lawless" and vows to oppose everything that is promoted by him and the Republican controlled Congress.
When asked about the president's comments Cruz basically said that Obama should say it to his face.
"Come back and insult me to my face," said Cruz.
"I prefer it in the United States and not overseas, where you’re making the insults," Cruz said of the unlikely debate. "It's easy to toss a cheap insult when no one can respond."
Cruz believed that the president's actions to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees is a disaster.
Cruz is responsible for the government shutdown of 2013. Many Republicans are tired of him. They believe he showboats and offers no real ideas. He's one of the least accomplished lawmakers running for president. The other ones include: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
All four them have no record of accomplishment. They are well established lawmakers.
Any proposals that were made by these lawmakers often are rejected before reaching the senate floor.
Let's be honest, Republicans are not capable of governing.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant wants Republicans to win the White House.
They believe that the Republican Party and their conservative allies are stupid. They figure that a Republican president will bankrupt the United States trying to fight them.
The Islamic State believes that Republicans and the conservatives and their obsessions with cutting government and Islamophobia, will inspire recruits. They vow attacks against the country. They want to go after places Americans often neglect as "soft targets".
Republicans have no room to talk. Under a Republican president and a Republican Congress, we had the worst attack on our country on September 11, 2001. Republicans like to flex their muscle in the fight against terrorism. But the only muscles being flexed around are their tongues. And believe me, I rather have a calm leader like President Barack Obama over a bunch of irrational shit throwing morons like Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Chris Christie and Jeb Bush.

Obama: Quit Promoting The Terrorists!
President Barack Obama hits back at the Republicans for armchair bitching. |
The Republican Party is now turning the Paris attacks into a political football. They were quickly blaming President Barack Obama for the attacks. They cite the president's interview on ABC saying that the Islamic State is "contained" as a reason. They conclude that the president is "weak" on terrorism.
Under Obama's watch there hasn't been a major terrorist attack in the United States. There were more mass shootings under the president's watch.
Now Republican governors and lawmakers are pushing agendas to prevent refugees from entering the United States. They are giving the Islamic State a reason to attack the country.
One Texas Republican state lawmaker said that having refugees here will grant them access to firearms. He cites his own state as being a reason. The Republican involuntarily said access to firearms is too damn easy.
The Republican rhetoric is the best recruitment for the terrorists.
The Islamic State believes that Western societies are destroying their lands. France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States are often in cited as enemies of the extremist group.
The Islamic State was once the al Qaeda of Iraq. They broke away from the group after Osama bin Laden was killed in May 2011. They have gained popularity through the Syrian civil war.
Now the Islamic State has gain ground in Iraq. Conservatives claim that the president's decision to leave the Iraqi War led to the Islamic State growing in power.
Obama gets really annoyed by the armchair generals. He admits that the Paris attacks were a setback to the progress made in the fight against the extremist group. But said that throwing American troops into the Syrian Civil War is a risky move.
Obama warned Republicans that panicking and pushing hateful agendas is fueling the Islamic State recruitment.
While in the Philippines, the president spoke about taking on global terrorism, China's influence in the region and how he's dealing with Congress.
He said that the anti-refugee rhetoric and fear mongering needs to stop.
"Apparently they're scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America," Obama said.
Mocking GOP leaders for thinking they're tough, Obama said overblown rhetoric from Republicans could be a potent recruitment tool for the Islamic State group. He insisted the U.S. process for screening refugees for possible entry into the U.S. is rigorous and said the U.S. doesn't make good decisions "based on hysteria" or exaggerated risk.
"We are not well served when in response to a terrorist attack we descend into fear and panic," the president said.
Obama's comments during a meeting with Philippine President Benigno Aquino marked his harshest condemnation yet of Republicans' response to the Paris attacks blamed on Islamic State that killed 129 people last week. Republicans in Congress and on the 2016 presidential trail have urged an immediate closure of America's borders to Syrian refugees, but the Obama administration has shown no sign of backing off its plans to bring an additional 10,000 Syrians fleeing civil war into the U.S.
Obama took particular ire at a proposal by GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush to admit only Christian Syrians. Bush later clarified he wants to give preference to Christians but not exclude properly vetted Muslims. Still, Obama said the idea of only allowing Christians in amounted to "political posturing" that runs contrary to American values.
In Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have urged at least a temporary halt in the resettlement of Syrians, while disputing Obama administration claims that the small numbers making their way here so far are being thoroughly investigated. Obama said he's been waiting for a year and a half for lawmakers to take up refugee legislation, questioning why they are now suddenly in a rush.
Defending his administration's screening program, Obama said it takes 18 to 24 months to clear a refugee for entry, following vetting by the U.S. intelligence community and other agencies as well as biometrics.
Although there are indications that one of the IS attackers carried a Syrian passport and may have arrived in France alongside refugees, Germany's top security official has said the passport might have been a fake intended to stoke fears. Still, Obama acknowledged that the U.S. public was concerned about attacks on the homeland, noting that Paris "reminds us of home.
"I understand why Americans have been particularly affected," he said.
al Qaeda and the Islamic State wants a Republican to win the White House. The Islamic State thinks Republicans are stupid. Republican are weak on terrorism. The terrorists believe the Republicans will bankrupt the country trying to fight them.
People's "Sexist White Man" Alive!
David Beckham snags the People's cover. |
For the umpteenth time, People Magazine releases its "Sexist Man Alive" issue. Thus proving me and S. Baldwin's point about the magazine's deliberate attempts to ignore men of color.
The now retired English soccer star David Beckham graces its annual cover.
"I never feel that I'm an attractive, sexy person," said Beckham. "I mean I like to wear nice clothes and nice suits and look and feel good, but I don't ever think of myself that way."
Beckham joins the list of many men who graced the "Sexist Man Alive" cover.
And once again People faces a backlash. Because this has been over 20 years since a person of color ever graced that cover for the "Sexist Man Alive."
David is married to reality star/designer/former pop singer Victoria Beckham (nee Adams) and has four children.
Beckham is one of the highest paid soccer players in the United States. He is one of FIFA's best footballers ever.
While we don't hate on the fact that Beckham earned the title of "Sexist Man Alive", you notice that People chooses the candidates selectively.
I mean there hasn't been a man of color on that magazine since Denzel Washington.
Although Idris Elba, Jussie Smollet, Michael B. Jordan, Drake and Ki Hong Lee were in the featured in the list of "Sexist Men". They never graced the cover of People.
The celebrity agitating magazine has often face harsh criticism for this.
Do you believe People Magazine deliberately leaves out people of color in their "Sexist Person Alive" covers?
