Kirsten Gillibrand exits the Democratic race for president.
The power of #MeToo didn't help a firebrand.
The race for the Democratic nomination is over for New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand. The senator announced her departure from the race yesterday in a video posted on social
media.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) didn't meet the requirements to participate in the third debate.
Today, I am ending my campaign for president.
I am so proud of this team and all we've accomplished. But I think it’s important to know how you can best serve.
To our supporters: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now, let's go beat Donald Trump and win back the Senate. pic.twitter.com/xM5NGfgFGT
Gillibrand who championed the issues of women and families on the trail, has been campaigning for the 2020 Democratic nomination since January, but struggled to make a dent in the race. She lacked both the polling and required number of donors to qualify for the third debate.
"I know this ins't the result we wanted, we wanted to win this race, but's important to know when it's not your time," she said in a video posted on her social media. "I believe I can best serve by helping to unite us to beat Donald Trump in 2020."
Gillibrand is the first woman to drop out. She is one of a handful of women who wanted to secure the Democratic nomination for president.
She ends her presidential bid with at least $800,000 on hand.
She plans to launch as SuperPac called Off The Sidelines. The PAC group is raising millions to recruit women to run for office in states.
Democrats were kind of shaky about her. When Al Franken was hit with a scandal on behalf of Roger Stone, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Leeann Tweeden, Gillibrand led the call for Franken to resign.
Franken was a Demcoratic senator from Minnesota who was previously an actor, comedian, talk show host, activist and author. When Stone teased about "Franken's time in the barrel" they released an image of Franken teasing a shot of groping Tweeden. Although Tweeden knew Franken wasn't like this, she went to make an accusation claiming that a skit they've performed was inappropriate.
Franken was soon hit with four other accusations. Many of them were unfounded and unfolded.
Franken under pressure from Democrats resigned. When the facts came out that Franken didn't do anything wrong, Gillibrand continued to stand firm by saying it was "the right thing" to do.
Gillibrand hasn't endorsed any candidate yet but she said that she is willing to help the eventual nominee win the 2020 election.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is dating a political consultant. The far-white is riled up.
Republicans and some of the junk food media seized on the divorce of Ilhan Omar. They seriously believe that the Minnesota lawmaker was previously married to her brother. They are now up in arms over the fact that a woman is now divorcing her husband because he had an affair with the firebrand lawmaker.
Beth Mynett, the medical director and health services administrator for D.C.'s Department of Corrections, said she and Tim Mynett, a partner at progressive political consulting firm E Street Group, separated in April, after he made a "devastating and shocking declaration of love" for Omar.
Here's Sean "Softball" Hannity's alleged mistress Sara Carter. This is the woman who Fox News banned from its news side. She is called an "investigative reporter" by the softball despite her reports being shitty at best.
ILHAN OMAR's AFFAIR:@IlhanMN said: "As I said yesterday, I have no interest in really allowing the conversation about my personal life to continue and so I have no desire to discuss it.”
Mynett met Omar while working as a consultant on her 2018 congressional campaign. According to Federal Election Committee filings, Omar’s campaign paid Mynett and E Street Group about $230,000 for consulting and other expenses between August 2018 and this past June.
Beth Mynett alleged that Tim Mynett's "more recent travel and long work hours now appear to be more related to his affair with Rep. Omar than with his actual work commitments."
She also claimed that Tim Mynett put their 13-year-old son "in harm’s way by taking him out in public with Rep. Omar, who at that time had garnered a plethora of media attention along with death threats."
It was no secret that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was dating someone. It's just the fact that these suckers are worried about her personal life than that god awful man in the White House. They don't worry about a man who has 22 women accusing him of sexual harassment and sexual assault. A man who cheated on his wife with a porn star. A man who said that he can "grab 'em by the pussy" because he's rich and powerful. A man who calls women "nasty" because they anger him.
Omar with her family.
A man who said anti-Semitic remarks but yet calls two women of color who are Muslims that.
A man who managed to get a foreign country to deny entry to two lawmakers who want to share their honest discussion about American-Israeli relations dooming the Middle East.
In other news, the Alabama Republican Party has decided to throw shade at Omar. They call upon House members to expel her.
According to AL.com, Alabama Republicans moved to support a resolution calling for the removal of the freshman congresswoman, citing her past controversial statements on the September 11th terrorist attacks, which her supporters said were taken out of context; comments she made on campaign finance that many considered to be anti-Semitic, for which she apologized; and her staunch support of the Palestinian people in the face of the Israeli government.
In their resolution, the party calls for its state's congressional delegation to begin the process of seeking Omar's expulsion from the House.
Omar clapped back hard.
Sorry, @ALGOPHQ, but this is a representative democracy.
I was elected with 78% of the vote by the people of Minnesota's 5th District, not the Alabama Republican Party.
If you want to clean up politics, maybe don’t nominate an accused child molester as your Senate candidate? https://t.co/r9NvsZKRUw
It got former U.S. senate candidate Roy Moore riled up.
"President Trump was right: she should go back to [Somalia (Africa)] from whence she came."
Moore added, "Omar, an avowed Muslim, is a sworn enemy of Israel and has accused our own military of war crimes. While in Congress, she has been accused of numerous relationships. I have been married to my wife, Kayla, since Omar was three years old and fought for my country over ten years before Omar was even born."
We will not be silent in the face of injustices.
"I fully support the resolution of the Alabama Republican Party asking for Congress to expel Ilhan Omar under Article 1, Section 5 of the United States Constitution I was sworn to defend after my graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point."
Omar is pretty blunt about how Republicans act. She shared an image of a death threat.
I hate that we live in a world where you have to be protected from fellow humans. I hated it as a child living through war and I hate it now.
Republicans are obsessed with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). They won't leave them alone. They are so devoted to undermining women of color.
The women along with Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) make up the Squad. A group of lawmakers who are part of the Justice Democrats. They have signaled they're working on finding candidates to oust Democrats who support the "status quo."
Barrel neck lawmaker Johnny Isakson resigns leaving a senate seat up for grabs.
Johnny, Johnny!
Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) is resigning at the end of the year. He cites his poor health as a reason for him getting out of the senate.
"After much prayer and consultation with my family an my doctors, I have made the very tough decision to leave the U.S. Senate at the end of this year. I have informed Georgia governor Brian Kemp today that I will resign my Senate seat effective December 31, 2019," Isakson said in a statement.
The 74-year old senator was easily reelected in 2016.
He went through a couple of back surgeries and fractured his ribs during a fall in his Washington, DC home.
"I am leaving a job I love because my health challenges are taking their toll on me, my family and my staff. My Parkinson's have been progressing, and I am continuing physical therapy to recover from a fall in July. In addition, this week I had surgery to remove a growth on my kidney," Isakson said.
Kemp will issue a special election to fill the remaining term of Isakson. It will probably co-exist with the incumbent who is running for reelection.
There will be two U.S. Senate seats up for grabs in the state of Georgia. Will the dirty politics of Republicans come to light?
Sen. David Purdue (R-GA) is running for reelection in a state is becoming increasingly diverse.
Stacey Abrams, a former Democratic nominee for governor is being recruited to run for the seats.
She hasn't ruled it out.
Senators from both sides of the aisle decided to praise Isakson. Remember, Isakson supported Brett Kavannaugh, the Republican tax cuts, the rollback of the Iran Nuclear Deal, investigating Hillary Clinton and James Comey and supporting the NRA.
Why should anyone praise Isakson?
He is a part of the status quo of lawmakers who continue to make our country more polarizing.
His poor health will be taken care of. He will have a lifetime pension and healthcare. He was supportive of stripping healthcare from millions of Americans. Why should any one praise him?
Because he was southern gentleman?
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) and Sen. David Purdue (R-GA). Paul and Isakson are suffering medical issues and it may impact the Senate when the recess is over. Purdue is running for reelection.
Fuck that.
The Democrats are just too soft. They are praising this old fart. Even though, this old fart denied a president the opportunities to govern. They need to treat Republicans like they've been treating them.
Diss the fuck out of them.
Don't praise folks who support the Confederacy. Don't praise folks who allow that idiot Donald J. Trump strip migrants away from their children. Don't praise folks who continue to vote against sensible gun reforms laws that keep American safe. Don't praise folks who support banning Muslims, a woman's right to choice, a gay couple's right to marry and a person of color's right to not be harassed in public by white folks who have phobias. Don't praise a lawmaker who willing to strip the safety net from us. Don't praise a lawmaker who denied a sitting president a Supreme Court nominee.
Isakson represented all that I've said in this posting. He is a Republican who supports Trump. He is a Republican who demonized Barack Obama and played to a base of bigots and idiots.
He could have science help him with Parkinson's disease. But I forgot, the power of prayer can save this old fart from dying within a few years.
He became a senator in 2005 after Zell Miller retired. Miller was a far-white Democratic senator who was very vocal against fellow senator John Kerry. He became an important figure in the 2004 presidential election. Miller endorsed Republican George W. Bush for president over Kerry. Bush won reelection against Kerry.
Miller died in 2018. Isakson was also endorsed by Miller. I didn't cover Miller's death. It was a sleeper story.
Trotwood's grocery store Foodtown goes out of business.
Trotwood, Ohio is officially a ghost town. Maybe I should say, "Trotwood is already a ghost town."
The town of 21,000 residents got a bomb dropped on them.
The owner of Foodtown announced he will close the Trotwood and Tipp City locations in mid-September. That will leave the Drexel Foodtown open for the time being. That will be the only grocery store in Trotwood.
Trotwood mayor Mary McDonald is angry over the loss of Foodtown. She said her city is deprived of retail outlets and now an iconic grocery store. She said that this is a huge loss. She said it's a minor setback.
No, it's a huge setback. Trotwood lost the Salem Mall, Burlington Stores, Kmart, Sears, Elder-Beerman, Best Buy, Walmart, Cub Foods, Circuit City, Target, Family Dollar, Payless Shoe Source, Toys R Us, JC Penney, Lazarus and many other businesses during it's nearly 20 years as an incorporated city. This is a devastating setback.
You can't fix a community that is completely broken.
Residents will now have to travel to Walmart in Englewood, Dorothy Lane Market in Oakwood, Dot's Market in Kettering, Kroger in Harrison Township, Target in Huber Heights, Save-A-Lot in Dayton, ALDI in Englewood and Meijer in Englewood.
Gordon Food Service is the only grocery store left. Mind you that is a bulk food supplies store but that does have food selections.
The owner of Foodtown said that sales are down and the store can't sustain another year of losses.
The owner blames the rise of Amazon, Kroger and delivery services like Shipt as factors.
Trotwood can't survive as a community. It might as well dissolve itself back to Madison Township or be annexed into Dayton.
I just don't know! It's a heartbreaking experience for those people who live in food deserts.
Donald J. Trump carried Montgomery County by nine points. He is likely to carry Ohio in the 2020 election. The lawmaker who represents this area, Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) doesn't give a fuck about the area. He will regularly cite Wright Patterson Air Force Base as the only reason to why deserves to be a part of the status quo. He won't visit the communities he represents.
Wondering how many residents of the Dayton metro area suffered a job loss under Trump's wonderful economy?
A controversial far-right agitator has been exposed as a fraud. He was an instigator and was hoping for the junk food media falling for his click bait.
Someone infiltrated the Portland far-right groups. He decided to go undercover and interview members of the Patriot Prayer. This group is a far-white (and coonservative) group with ties to domestic terrorism. They are closely associated with the Gavin McInnes and his Proud Boys.
Andy Ngo, a far-right agitator who rose to fame after he got served a knuckle style chili and milkshake shower is exposed as agent provocateur.
He was dismissed from Quillette, a far-right opinion and commentary (openly racist dialogue) blog.
Ngo was caught on camera by person who posed as a member of the far-right.
Ngo became a celebrity on far-white outlets like Fox News, Breitbart and Newsmax. He was even brought up in discussion by that idiot Donald J. Trump.
Ngo was hoping to get Republicans to declare Antifa (anti-fascist) organization designated as a terrorist group.
Footage taken by the poser showed Ngo witnessing activists from the Patriot Prayer plotting a violent confrontation at a local bar. Ngo never called the law. He was pretty much instigating the attack.
Some of those members of the far-white were arrested on felonies. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. They can face up to 10 years in Oregon if convicted.
Troll got a knuckle style chili and a milkshake shower.
The Portland Mercury released the story. Soon after the story's release, Ngo decided to take a leave of absence and then abrupt dismissal.
He was fired out the cannon. Quillettee claims that he resigned on his own. But really, the company was embarrassed. They were caught in the act of deception and click bait intrusion.
Asian-Americans can be racist towards Black people. Me and LeReyana have talked about the treatment of Black women from Asian-Americans.
Keep on thinking about the shooting of Latasha Harlins. One of the focal issues that sparked the Los Angeles riots of 1992. It was not only the Rodney King verdict but the court giving a light tap to a Korean store owner for shooting a teenager in the head at point blank range.
Ngo is an perfect example of this. He is openly gay member of the alt-right. He is the Asian Milo Yiannopoulos. He wants to be a person who fits in. He wants to embrace the extremism of Trump.
After all, white flight and Asian entitlement often leads to folks like this troll making claims about "the rest of us."
White terrorist kills children while fleeing the law.
The city of Dayton is in the national spotlight. Just a day after Dave Chappelle came to perform in regards to the mass shooting and tornadoes, the city experiences another tragedy.
The city was doing damage control after one of its officers shot and killed a fleeing suspect. The death of Michael Tuck was buried after the police chief Richard Biehl made his statements about the man's criminal history.
Hell, the city police were busy with a police standoff where a man and woman kept them at bay for nearly five hours. The law managed to capture them without a bullet fired. The suspect was allegedly assaulting an individual and he fled with the woman into an abandoned home.
The Dayton Police chased after a man who sped through city streets in a suburban police cruiser. The suburban cruiser crashed into a handful of cars and ended up killing two children.
The Dayton Police and Riverside Police are doing an investigation and damage control. The law chased after a speeding police cruiser. The suspect allegedly stabbed a family member and then stole the vehicle of an arresting officer.
The victims were identified. The stabbing victim is Lloyd "Bear" Walters who got stabbed on Monday. He was treated for non-life threatening injuries. He had suffered wounds to his hands, face and body.
The suspect who I will not identify soon would be pursued by the law.
The Dayton Police and Riverside Police are shaken by the deaths of two little girls. A white terrorist speeding in a stolen police cruiser crashed into a minivan with children inside.
The suspect took off in a Chevrolet pickup S-10. He would exit the vehicle in attempt to flee. The vehicle crashed into another vehicle and tree. The suspect would soon be detained by two Riverside Police officers near Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
The suspect would then strike the officer in the head and get into his vehicle. Notice, no firearms were fired at the time of the theft of the cruiser. The suspect would take off and head west into Dayton.
The Riverside Police issue an all-points (signal 99) for the pursuit of the stolen cruiser.
The Dayton Police, Montgomery County boys and Ohio Highway Patrol would soon get involved.
The vehicle speeds through the city of Dayton with light and sirens blaring and of course, police in high pursuit.
Then before it reached the center of town, the vehicle sped through a light and hit a minivan and five other vehicles before the cruiser crashed into a pole. The Dayton Police, Riverside Police and Ohio Highway Patrol soon reach the scene.
Witnesses immediately head to the crash scene to see if any victims were hurt. A minivan that was on a one way street was heading northbound when the cruiser hit them. The vehicle had at least six children and a driver..
The medics arrived to treated the suspect, the injured motorist and the children. The two children who were in the vehicle died when they reached the Dayton Children's Hospital.
The children were under 10 years old and were leaving a soccer event.
Eleanor McBride of Huber Heights and Penelope Jasko of Dayton were the victims of this deadly crash. The little girls didn't even get to enjoy the pleasures of life. This suspect managed to take their lives in a reckless attempt at fleeing the law.
Now are they going to call this suspect a "mentally ill" man? I mean they already stated that he left the iron college less than a month ago.
Dayton Police now have to do an evaluation of police pursuits in heavily population areas.
Another child is in a life-altering condition so they are hoping survival but a lifetime of injuries.
The suspect was taken to the hospital and treated for his injuries.
As soon as he is discharge he will face a hefty bid of criminal charges. Automatic charges of murder is issued for the deaths of the children. Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, being a felon with a weapon under disability, failure to disclose (or contact probation officer), failure to comply to a peace officer, assault on a police officer, grand theft auto, theft of a public official's vehicle, fleeing and eluding authorities, fleeing the scene of an accident, failure to report an accident, driving in unsafe conditions, red-light violations and speeding. Possible driving without license and registration. Driving uninsured. Minus the traffic violations, the charges itself are going to place this suspect in the iron college for LIFE. Given in the state of Ohio, the charges of murder carry the DEATH card.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Now on to the law. The Riverside cop who allowed his vehicle to be stolen will face a disciplinary hearing. He will have desk duty and retraining when it comes to leaving a vehicle running during a police investigation. The Dayton Police will have to face scrutiny over chasing a fleeing suspect at high speeds. The city of Dayton will have to foot the bill of medical and liability due to the fact the cops should have focused on safer procedures. The cops who chased the suspect will all be either in the freezer or back on active roster.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol usually gets involved in police pursuits that end in crashes. They are the independent investigator in a police encounter on the public roads.
The two young lives lost will never be replaced. It hurts to hear that your child died in a senseless act of recklessness.
Dayton, Ohio is going to be in the news for a period of time.

Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. It's just meaningless platitudes and I am getting sick and tired of folks posting on social media saying they have their condolences for those killed.
I repeat myself over and over again! I am getting really tired of dealing with mass shootings. I am also getting tired of reckless behavior from police. I know they want to get the bad guy but the cost.
Now they have to deal with the deaths of two girls. The suspect has no remorse. He doesn't have money or a way to apologize to the victims. All he's going to get is a trial, a hefty bid in the iron college. At least he will live to see a dinner, a relationship, a few compassionate humans to see him.
Those two little girls will never see that. Never get to go to school. Grow up to trends of young teenagers. College. Marriage. Children. Grandchildren. The limitless things gone by a reckless driver.
People should not ever live like this.
Just got out and decided to crash the party.
Cops don't have a cape or shield. They wear bulletproof vests. Yet, they have a 60% chance of going home after their shifts. The most dangerous call for a police officer is a domestic violence call. Then comes the routine pull-over (including a police pursuit of a fleeing vehicle or individual). Then the active mass shooter. Then the elements (i.e. tornado, wildfire, and water rescue). Lastly, the wild or domestic animal on the loose is dangerous.
Cops have to be babysitters, therapists, bullies and enforcers. Some cops do their jobs by actively working in communities of color. Those are the good cops. The bad cops often post bullshit on social media, support white nationalist rhetoric, assume all people of color are acting suspiciously and make bogus claims to unlawfully search your car and home. They are the ones who make good cops' job a death sentence.
If the terrorist was Black, Hispanic, Muslim or an immigrant, you would expect Donald J. Trump to tweet something offensive and call for more restrictions.
Brown recluse spiders are highly venomous. The tiny spider hides in shoes, wood piles, laundry baskets and sofas. They can deliver a painless bite that could become a nasty wound in your body. This and the more venomous Black Widow Spider are common in North America.
BE WARNED THERE WILL BE IMAGES THAT ARE DISTURBING AND GRAPHIC. IF YOU HAVE A PHOBIA OF SPIDERS, AVOID READING THIS POST.
Do not blame me or LeReyna for any actions you've committed upon yourself. We are not liable for any issues involving any third party.
A woman felt a squishy sound in her ear. She goes to a doctor to find out what was irritating her ear. Turns out she was shocked to find out what was inside.
A dangerous arachnid was hiding inside of her ear. It is the size of a dime and could potentially be deadly problem if you are sensitive or allergic to it.
Doctors found a brown recluse spider inside her ear. The brown recluse spider is a highly venomous arachnid. The creature is found usually inside homes and often hides in the most common places. The spider bite is undetectable until you notice a reddish bubbling spot. If not treated within hours, it could cause tissue damage. It could also become a potentially deadly problem if you're a child or a person with a weak immune system. It often brings flulike symptoms and discoloration of skin. The affected area can be treated with anti-venom.
The Kansas City woman is embarrassed and also relieved that the spider was removed.
Missouri mom found out that a dangerous spider made a nest in her ear.
Susie Torres, who hates spiders, told the junk food media that she woke up Tuesday morning hearing “swooshing” in her ear.
“It was like when you went swimming and you have all of that water in your ear," she said.
She initially thought she was having a reaction to an allergy shot, but when she went to the doctor a medical assistant found the eight-legged creature.
Doctors were able to remove the spider, which didn't bite her.
"I went and put some cotton balls in my ears last night,” Torres told the junk food media. “I’m shaking off my clothes and I don’t put my purse on the floor. I’m a little more cautious."
There are folks who don't accept the facts about insects and arachnids. Insects, arthropods, crustaceans and arachnids are animals.
It is small as a dime or penny. It doesn't build webs like most spiders. It finds comfort in your shoes, a sofa, bed sheets, old boxes and your child's toys. The brown recluse spider is a highly venomous spider that leaves a painless bite. Its bite can destroy skin tissue. If you're allergic to it or have a weak immune system, it can kill.
They are living creatures with eyes, digestive systems, appendices, brains, blood and instinct.
They are a part of an ecosystem that could impact the way we eat, the health of environment and the safety of our future. That's why it's very important to never underestimate the power of animals.
Yes, we all hate certain pests like gnats, houseflies, mosquitoes, ants and roaches. But they do have an impact on the earth and even though chemicals can stop them, these creatures are developing immunity to the strongest of chemicals.
Many folks who aren't zoologists, biologists or entomologist will never believe a person who studies behavior patterns of insects, crustaceans, myriapoda and arachnids.
They consider "bugs" not animals. And I am perfectly fine with it. I am not going to waste time with debate over a person's mind. I don't change minds overnight and I won't worry about them changing mine.
So when a spider captures a prey like a hummingbird, fish or mouse, they're just bugs eating animals.
Yes, spiders do eat insects, rodents, frogs, fish and small birds. The size doesn't matter.
Bugs are often looked at as just that, bugs! So if you're reading this and still believe that bugs aren't animals, that's your opinion and your own facts. Science and animal studies will often be the source of my justification.
Bugs are often resorted to phobias of many.
Before I go, here's the side-effects of a bite from a brown recluse spider. Mind you these are some with strong and weak immunity systems.
Respect nature.
You might want to given we have Donald J. Trump in office. He has gotten rid of bothersome regulations and now you're going to see the after-effects of a rollback of environmental policies.
Michigan woman running for local office says her town needs to stay white.
A white woman running for local office shocks the community by openly stating her disdain for interracial couples, immigrants and LGBTQ families.
"Okay, what year is this?" said one of the contenders.
Yeah, this is 2019 and there is a white woman running for local city council openly expressing her beliefs to a striving community. The town of Marysville, Michigan is 30 miles from Detroit and five miles from Port Huron. It straddles the St. Clair River which is the divider of the U.S. and Canada.
It straggles on the Interstate 69 and 94 region. The future 69 will expand from Indiana and end at three ports of entry between the U.S. and Mexico. Portions of 69 are open in Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. The near completion of 69 in Indiana will be done in 2023.
Jean Cramer is now hiding from the junk food media after she made headlines. She made remarks that caused a gasp and grimacing of her fellow contenders.
"My suggestion recommendation 'Keep Marysville a white community as much as possible.' White community seriously. Seriously, in other words, no foreign born, no foreign people, because of uh, of what uh, I am going say in our past of what we've experienced is better to have it simply American-born. Put it that way. No."
The comments drew outrage from mayor pro tem, Kathy Hayman who said that her daughter is married to a Black man and she has biracial grandchildren.
"I don't even know that I can talk yet, I'm so upset and shocked. My father was a hundred percent Syrian, and they owned the Lynwood Bar. It was a grocery store at that time. So bascially, what you've said is that my father and his family had no business to be in this community." Hayman said.
Other candidates spoke out against her.
Mike Deising stated, "Just checking the calander here and making sure it's still 2019. Yeah, I thought we covered civil rights about 50 years ago."
Cramer was interviewed by the junk food media. She denies she is a racist. She also stated she's not dropping from the race. She stated that she has nothing against Black people, but she strongly opposes marriage between people of different races.
"As far as I know, as long as we've been here, Marysville has been a white community, a white city. If we have seen a Black person here and there, whatever, we're not bothered by it. I'm not bothered by it."
However, she's bothered by a white woman holding a Black man's hand.
She didn't flatly say for immigrants to "go back" but she said that many immigrants have came to the community to "mess things up" recently.
She said that her family came from Germany. So it seems like the old saying, Blacks built this country but whites still have the privilege of being in it.
It's confirmed she has dropped out of the race. However, she will remain on the ballot in November.
So someone is still likely to vote for her.
Marysville has a population of 9,500 residents. The city is 98% white.
Amerikkka folks. Donald J. Trump's incompetence is globally destructive and politically divisive.
Republicans are embracing this type of behavior. We need to make "Racist afraid again."
Polarizing Republican couple Sean Duffy and Rachel Campos-Duffy. The Wisconsin lawmaker is resigning abruptly. His wife is a commentator on the far-white Fox News Channel.
Reality television star turned politician shocking resignation.
Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) is out. Wow, didn't expect it but they're got to be something brewing between him and former reality television star turned Fox News commentator Rachel Campos-Duffy.
The Fox News commentator is pregnant and the couple is expecting their ninth child.
The two were former contestants on MTV's The Real World: Boston and San Francisco, respectfully. They have both appeared on Road Rules: All Stars.
I don't want to speculate on why he abruptly is resigning. The Washington Post claims that the lawmaker is stepping down due to his wife pregnancy. However, I don't buy it. I don't buy it at all.
I am guessing he was caught cheating on his wife. Obviously Republicans stepping down abruptly are nothing new. But when you're a polarizing figure like Duffy, obviously, something went down at home for him to abruptly resign.
Duffy is a strong supporter of Donald J. Trump. Just last month, the Duffy couple went to Fox & Friends to discuss the "youthfulness" of that imbecile.
Duffy who served at least five terms as the representative of Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District announced this Monday morning that he is resigning on September 23. His district is relatively Republican. He represents the Interstate 39/US 51 region. He lives in Wausau. He is representative of the Elk Valley.
"On September 23, I will step down and allow others to step forward to begin laying out their own vision and plans for leading this beautiful district and the most honest, hard-working, family-orientated, patriotic, and God-fearing constituents in America."
Governor Tony Evers of Wisconsin now must pick a date on which a special election is held.
Republicans are lining up to replace Duffy. Many Democrats are hoping to find a way to break through a district that heavily voted for Trump in 2016.
Duffy who won the district in 2010 after Democrat David Obey retired. The district trends more conservative and was a key district in Trump's win of the state.
Duffy was a reality television star, county district attorney, sports commentator and actor.
That means 12 members of the Republican Party have either resigned or retired.

Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) in 2019.
Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX) in 2019.
Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) in 2019.
Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-TX) in 2019.
Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL) in 2019.
Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-MT) in 2019.
Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA) in 2019.
Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-NC) in 2019.
Bryne of Alabama is seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in 2020. He is one of five contenders challenging for the seat held by incumbent Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL). Jones is the most vulnerable of the Democrats.
Gianforte is running for governor of Montana. He is the lawmaker famous for attacking a BBC journalist after an interview about his ethics went into a shoving match. The lawmaker slammed the journalist on a table. He ran on that and won.
Republicans have a seat that could flip in Iowa. Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-IA) is retiring and the district is competitive. The area that covers the suburbs of Des Moines and Southeastern Iowa is up for grabs.
Democrats have three retirements in the House. Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM), the last of the Udall dynasty is stepping down and Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM) is likely running for the seat.
Republicans are dropping like flies in the era of Trump. Maybe the Blue Wave is getting bigger.
I am not optimistic about our candidates running for president. However, I am confident that the House will remain in Democratic control for the next session. The Senate is still considerably Republican and will remain for the time being. So if Trump win reelection he is likely to get a third Supreme Court nominee confirmed.
American comedian comes to his hometown for a block party. He brought surprise guests to this block party. One is already on the roster.
Actor and comedian Dave Chappelle has decided to host a block party in the Oregon District today. He along with Kanye West, Kim Kardashian West, Stevie Wonder, Talib Kweli, Teyana Taylor, Jon Stewart, Chance the Rapper and a few others do a benefit concert in regards to the tornadoes and mass shooting.
The mass shooting in August has brought forward the swift need to do something on guns.
Republicans continue to ignore the concerns due to the support for the National Rifle Association.
Gem City Shine is a benefit concert sponsored by the city of Dayton, Chappelle and community activists.
Dave Chappelle recruited Kanye West to be a headline act. The celebrity agitator was spotted in Dayton this weekend.
Tickets are sold out for the concert and the city is expect to have 20,000 fans to appear at this event.
The Dayton community is referring to the event as a way to "reclaim the Oregon District" after the latest mass shooting that took place in the entertainment district. A white terrorist massacred nine people before the law put him down.
Chappelle is very private and does go around the community as a normal person. He is a practicing Sunni Muslim and doesn't often do photographs unless he approves it.
Dave Chappelle lives in the village of Yellow Springs, Ohio.
Yellow Springs is 15 miles from Dayton, Ohio.
Chappelle will likely film the block party for Netflix.
Kanye West is a rapper, producer, fashion designer and celebrity agitator. He is married to Kim Kardashian West and has four children. He is the founder of G.O.O.D. Music and has a label deal with Def Jam exclusively. He is a former act on Roc-A-Fella/Roc Nation.
Alabama lawmaker is just as bad as Rep. Steve King (R-IA).
About 96% of the Republican Party's current representation is white. There are only a handful of members who are Jewish, Hispanic, African American and women. Of the current U.S. House Representatives, there are only 13 women. Of the current U.S. Senate there are eight women.
Okay, Alabama congressman Morris Jackson Brooks, Jr. of Alabama is practically getting away with racially offensive and Islamophobic remarks. While the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump continue to demonize "The Squad," they continue to allow Brooks and King speak on behalf of them.
Brooks, a lawmaker from the 5th Congressional District of Alabama has been known to say things that no one within the party condemns.
He lives Huntsville and is a total embarrassment.
He still wins the district despite being a total douchebag.
Appearing on local radio station in Alabama, Brooks decided to make a false claim about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). The two lawmakers were banned from entry to Israel this month due to their support of the BDS Movement.
The lawmaker weighed in on the controversy by claiming that the two are becoming the "face of the Democratic Party."
He said that the once-bipartisan support of Israel is being tested by far-left extremists who share anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish themes.
"There, of course, is a lot of controversy," said Brooks. "Ususally, there is not much controversy with respect to Israel. Usually, the United States Congress is overwhelmingly close to 100%, if not 100%, in support of recognizing Israel as a long-term American ally, and that we have a mutual defense relationship. Unfortunately, we now have people in the United States Congress who view Israel as an enemy, and that makes for an entirely different mix of conversation."
He cited the two women's Muslim faith as a reason to why he's certified bigot himself.
"There is, and I think it's based on the growing influence of the Islamic religion in the Democratic Party ranks," he said. "Keep in mind -- Muslims more so than most people have great animosity towards Israel and the Jewish faith. And as you have more and more Muslims in the United States, as they gain greater and greater influence in elections, particularly in Democratic Party primaries --- then you're going to see more and more people like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and company that are anti-Israel, and that brings an entirely different viewpoint into the United States Congress."
"I think you're going to see this influence in the Democratic Party grow and grow and grow over time but ultimately become the dominant influence within the Democratic Party, where the Democratic Party will become very strongly anti-Jewish and anti-Israel," Brooks added.
We will not be silence against injustices.
What he said right there is a troupe. He is equating American Jews with the state of Israel. He is saying that Jews have dual loyalty to the United States and Israel. That is completely false.
See this is why it's frustrating to deal with lawmakers like this. He is completely ignorant of what's going on in the Middle East.
Donald J. Trump is causing so much tension. He called upon Benjamin Netanyahu to impose a ban on two U.S. lawmakers who wanted to visit the West Bank. No one is allowed to visit the Gaza Strip.
Israel has control over the lives of people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. They have stripped the Gaza Strip of goods and impose a military barrier around the region. People who stray near the barrier are often shot or pelted with Israeli lethal nerve gas. The Israeli government is continuing violations by building settlements in the West Bank. They are building walls around the settlements and completely forcing West Bank civilians to have mandatory restrictions when entering Israel.
Tlaib, who is American-born has a grandmother in the West Bank. She was granted a "humanitarian" visit on the grounds she was not allowed to tour the region and speak about the BDS movement.
She refused the offer.
Ilhan Omar who is facing birther and false claims frequently by the far-white is a Somali-American lawmaker who rose to fame as being the first Muslim woman elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives as a member of the Democratic-Farmer Party. She succeeded fellow Muslim lawmaker Keith Ellison who later became the Attorney General of Minnesota.
Omar and Tlaib as well as Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are the three Muslim lawmakers in Congress.
Carson doesn't speak out against injustices as much but he is in solidarity with the two.
Brooks, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) have been the most vocal opponents of Omar and Tlaib. They are openly Islamophobic and no one is condemning them for inciting hatred towards people who practice a religion different from theirs.
Brooks is a Southern Baptist. Zeldin is a Jewish Republican. Cheney is the daughter of Dick Cheney and a Protestant Christian.
Why can they get away with saying hateful things?
Side note: Brooks should have been denied entry into Israel. He read passages of the Mein Kampf on the House floor in attempt to undermine Omar.
When Omar tweeted criticism of AIPAC and the lobbyist group's money peddling to Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike condemned her. The Democratic House leadership forced her to apologize for that.
Florida man was convicted of killing Markeis McGlockton.
The Florida man who killed an unarmed Black man in front of a Clearwater store is found guilty of manslaughter and second-degree murder. The incident that put to test Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law doesn't seem to work for some folks.
The death of Markeis McGlockton was controversial. The Pinellas County sheriff intitally allowed the shooter to walk because he concocted a story about him being attacked by Markeis.
In video footage, the shooter deliberately confronted a woman with her children parked in a handicap spot. The shooter decided to verbally abuse and threaten the woman. The shooter didn't know that Markeis was the woman's boyfriend.
He shoved the shooter to the ground. The shooter with a bruised ego decided to pull his firearm out of his pocket and shoot Markeis in the chest. The young man collapsed in front of his child.
The conviction came after 6 1/2 hours of deliberations by a jury of five men and one woman.
It was read on Friday night at 10:41pm.
The shooter looked straight ahead, standing beside his lawyers. He is looking at 30 years in the iron college. The conviction can be appealed but it's going to be hard to prove that he did it in defense.
Britany Jacobs, the girlfriend of Markeis and mother of his children threw up her hands and clapped.
A woman broke down into sobs. Markeis' father pressed his elbows into his knees as supporters squeezed his shoulder. His mother embraced the family.
Justice for Markeis.
The shooter was free on a "get out card." But once the verdict was read, the shooter was immediately taken back into custody to await his fate.
I thought the trial was going to last a month. But it ended in one week. The shooter didn't stand trial or testify in his defense. Another person who was confronted by the shooter was a key witness.
Richard Kelly said that he parked his tanker truck in a parking spot similar to where Britany parked.
The shooter confronted him.
"I should shoot you, kill you," Kelly told the jury of the shooter's previous encounter.
The case also had some controversy. A former Pinellas County detective who worked the case was fired out the cannon for being drunk on duty. The shooter's lawyers were fired out the cannon.
One of the lawyers tried to get dirt on Markeis family and tried to taint the case.
Another lawyer had personal problems.
Regardless of these mishaps, justice was served. Now this shooter has to face a sentencing hearing and we'll find out if he'll get 30 to LIFE in the iron college.
