Concern Trolling: A Conservative Feature!


McKinney Texas Pool party
The agitators claim North Texas cop Eric Casebolt scrubbed his social media after accusations of unprofessional conduct.

Just in case I don't forget: Concern trolling cuts both ways. Liberals do it too. But in the wake of high profile incidents involving cops and the Black community, the concern trolls MUST find something else to talk about.

I do not engage in trolling online. I don't like being engaged with assholes who are probably paid consultants. The concern trolls are swamping blogs looking to pick fights with others. Soon as they see a comment they disagree with, they'll respond and bait you into a debate.

When conservatives picked up on the story of a North Texas cop pulling his service weapon on a group of Black teens, it was filmed by a teen who uploaded to YouTube. The video went viral and its been seen over million times.

Now a resident who was seen with a sign saying "McKinney supports the police" took to social media to claim he was there and the media "blew it up!"
PLEASE HELP! That (now viral) video of the officer in McKinney subduing a girl in a bathing suit was in OUR neighborhood. The situation was NOT what is being reported…
A DJ setup in a public space next to the private pool in our neighborhood on Friday and played loud explicit (F-bomb) music for multiple hours (it is unclear if he was invited by a resident as no one has claimed responsibility). The teenagers (both black and white) were being brought into our neighborhood by the carload because the DJ was tweeting out invites to a “pool party” for $15 (obviously unauthorized by our neighborhood). The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene. Some residents who live around the park/pool area tried to come out and settle things down. The teens started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started assaulting people and property (throwing bottles at cars and attacking a mother at the pool with 3 young children). The first officer on the scene was by himself.
At that time, the party had grown to a large, aggressive crowd. As the officer arrived, many teens started running through our neighborhood. Many of the teens were being very aggressive and yelling at the officers as more arrived.
This was a very dangerous situation for the officers AND the teens/residents not involved. The news media has refused to hear the neighborhood’s side of this story. The video being distributed is only a very small segment of what happened. This information being distributed by the media and others is extremely distorted and in some cases outright lies.
PLEASE HELP US STOP THE BROADCASTING OF THIS IGNORANCE. The media is trying to make it look like our neighborhood is a white’s only, racist area. Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright LIE.




Again the concern troll....trying to debunk the video clearly showing the cop pushing a bikini clad teenage girl on the ground.

The officer is put on ice. Eric Casebolt has to answer to his superiors and will have probably have a police union rep with him in his possible cannon firing.

McKinney Police were called to a disturbance where a woman and teen were getting into a verbal and physical confrontation. The Black teens were there for a pool party at a community pool. The pool was crowd and some of the teens were at the party were not residents.

The pool party got a little too Black. Some Black and White teens claim that a White woman agitated the event by saying racial charged statements. There was a fight that occurred and the cops were called.

What made the junk food media and partisan agitators crow were the actions of that cop. He immediately slammed the head of two of the teens to the ground. One of the young teen who was identified as Dajerria Becton and her parents want the cop fired out the cannon. She was filmed in a bikini being slammed to the ground. In the video, she was crying for her mom and the cop told her to put her fucking head on the ground. The cop place his legs on her back and neck.

The NAACP are calling for the Texas Department of Safety and U.S. Justice Department to do an investigation.

What was seen on film disputes the cop's dash camera. McKinney officers didn't have body cameras.

And what is seen justifies a violation of civil rights for the Black teens. Out of most of the teens, one was arrested. The rest were returned to custody of their parents.

The media's agitators in particular are expressing the very things I've hate. The rush to judgement and the "verb" theories.

Some say that the cop was using excessive force. They believe that this incident along with numerous others prove a systematic occurrence of police brutality towards the Black community.

Some say that it was justified. Others believe that the teens in the video were "THUGS" and shouldn't have back talked to the law.

Hence, thug is the new NIGGER.

You have a right to talk back to cops. They can't arrested you if you're upset at an event. Although it's not recommended for you to backtalk to cops, you are given to right to do so. It's not illegal to disrespect a public servant.

For Black people, it's illegal to talk back to a cop. For Black people being at a pool in a nearly White neighborhood is a crime. I guess a large group of Black teens is a mob according to the racial agitators. 

Concern trolls are false flag individuals who disrupt the discussion with other issues. Already conservatives are trying to debunk the video and say that the people were uninvited.

Say if a handful of people call the McKinney Texas incident a travesty. Others believe that it's proven that if you're Black and young, you're a natural born criminal according to the law and the partisan agitators.

Heavy.com, Buzzfeed, and Little Green Football unearthed the social media habits of Casebolt.

Casebolt has been accused of harboring deceitful social media. Some videos on his now scrubbed YouTube page include the controversial Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke trashing on Black residents in his community.

The racist right agitator Jim Hoft created The Gateway Pundit and he and asshat Colin Flaherty are already trying to find "facts".

If you've been profiled by the police, drop us a line.

If you've been discriminated by a business, drop us a line.

Have you been called a racial slur? Drop us a line.

Ex-South Carolina Cop Indicted In The Walter Scott Shooting!

Ex-South Carolina cop has a day in court.

The controversial police shooting in North Charleston had the nation talking. The ex-officer Michael Slager is facing charges on murder. The ex-officer conducted a routine pull over.

The victim Walter Scott was pulled over for a tail light violation. Scott, a former U.S. Coast Guard officer who had a string of bad luck. He had restricted driving privileges and owed child support.

He knew he was going to county lock up for being caught driving. Although a minor traffic offense, it turned into a felony for escape. But what happened after the dash camera filmed the pull over was what drove the conversation of police brutality.

Scott and his passenger Pierce Fulton were in the vehicle for a moment.

Slager ran his plates and soon Scott bolts out the vehicle. Slager goes after him. Orders Fulton to stay put. As Slager calls for assistance, he catches up to Scott.

He applies the Taser on Scott.
Walter Scott's death touched a fierce debate over police brutality. It also spawned concern trolls to point out other incidents where Black suspects kill police officers and other victims.
Scott was trying to get the Taser off him and then proceeded to run again. That's when Slager opened fire on him. Slager used his service weapon on Scott. He emptied eight rounds into Scott.

Scott dropped. It was caught on camera by a man who was walking to work. This video damaged the credibility of Slager.

This man deflated the whole argument that Slager told his superiors that Scott was reaching for his service weapon and Taser.

Now Slager is now indicted by a grand jury. He is not going to face the gas house. But he is going to be up for LIFE in the iron college if found guilty in the murder.

Cue the concern troll....

When a bad cop is being mentioned in the junk food media, expect that annoying conservative agitator and the conservative Craigslist to find some story about a Black suspect killing a cop, a White or Black victim.

Expect talk about what goes on in my community, their communities, or the rise in gun crime during the summer.

They have been on a fixation of gun crime in Baltimore, Chicago, and New York.

The mayors are Democrats and the victims are mostly Black.

So in their minds, liberal policies lead to gun violence.

They will try to bait you into ridiculous debates over gun politics. In one breath they will say gun control for Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims. In the next breath, they will say gun rights for Whites.

Of course, insert Barack Obama every time the Black community demands better policing.

Concern trolls believe that the president is anti-cop despite the thousands of death threats, racial and inhumane insults towards him and his family.

So let's get this straight. Not all cops are bad. Not all cops are good.

Gun control and gun rights cut both ways. You can't scream you want gun rights when you are talking about gun control for one group and not everyone else.

White people commit gun crimes, rape, murder, drug charges, shoplifting and traffic violations too.

Not everyone is an illegal immigrant. Just because you don't speak American English doesn't mean your an illegal or even a criminal. The United States doesn't have an official language. English is the most frequently spoken language by 89% of the country.

Black men are 59% more likely to be pulled over by the law than White men or Asian men.

Conservatives view Blacks people as animals. That's why the term racist right is mentioned. You obviously are the type of people who believe Black teens at a pool party should be locked up. You label them animals and thugs.

Hence, "THUG" is the new NIGGER.

When cameras rolled on the Blacks being shot, detained or slammed on the ground by the law, you immediately word vomit, they had it coming.

Concern trolls say Black people don't deserve the constitutional rights whenever they are detained by the law. They automatically assume guilty until proven innocent every time an unarmed Black suspect is killed.

Sad reality. A sad reality that cost Walter Scott his life.

New Jersey Cops Used Riot Control On Unarmed Concert Attendees At Hot 97 Summer Jam!

Chris Brown and Tyga performs at Summer Jam.

The conservative Craigslist didn't put on the Texas cop being filmed slamming an unarmed teenage girl to the ground. That seems to get a lot attention. And yes, it's driven another controversy for the nation's law enforcement and the Black community.

So in order to counter balance the controversy, the website top line.

And I bet you money that the partisan agitators, concern trolls, and racist bastards got wind of it.

WQHT-FM 97.1 (Hot 97) is New York's famed hip-hop/R&B station. It host the Summer Jam events where many hip-hop acts come to perform for 300,000 fans and it gives newcomers a chance to broaden the entertainment gamble.

Like the Governor's Ball, the SummerJam events are usually packed with a whole lot of hip-hop stans. The stans are between the ages of 18 -34. The crowds are big.

The event is held in East Rutherford, NJ at the MetLife Stadium. The stadium is home of New York's NFL teams, AFC Jets and NFC Giants.

The AP reports New Jersey State Police blocking gates outside of a major hip-hop concert at MetLife Stadium had bottles thrown at them by angry people in the crowd who were trying to get inside - some without tickets - and they later used tear gas to try to disperse them, according to officials.

Crowds at the Hot 97 Summer Jam concert became upset Sunday night when the gates were closed and blocked off by police in riot gear. An armored state police vehicle began blasting a piercing loud noise to try to disperse the crowd and police later deployed tear gas.

Additional troops were sent for "crowd control" and arrests were made, a police spokesman, Sgt. Gregory Williams, told The Associated Press. State police didn't release details about what measures they used to disperse the crowd. The number of arrests wasn't immediately known.

The disturbance began when crowds of people tried to "illegally" force their way into the sold out event by climbing over fences and forcing their way through security, state police said in a statement Sunday night. Police said they insisted that everyone outside of the gate leave the stadium complex to avoid congestion when the concert ended.

Videos and photos posted by people outside of the stadium on social media showed fights between concertgoers and police in riot gear blocking the entrance. Images also showed police using large military-style vehicles to try to disperse the crowds.

Janae Griffin, who drove up from Baltimore for the concert but wasn't able to get inside, said the parking lots outside were chaotic.

"People were throwing bottles across the crowd," she said. "We got into a confrontation with a guy who was deliberately trying to vandalize a police car and was just making it worse of a situation than it needed to be."

The major concert is hosted annually by a New York radio station and was headlined Sunday by Kendrick Lamar, Trey Songz, Big Sean and Chris Brown.

Emmis New York, which owns Hot 97, said in a statement that refunds will be offered for ticket holders whose tickets were not scanned. They said the concert sold out Sunday evening and that "a small number of people created an unsafe environment, and for the safety of all guests, the New Jersey State Police were on scene to disperse the crowd." The gates to get inside were then closed and no one else was allowed in.

It wasn't immediately clear if there were any injuries.

Texas Cop Off The Force After He Pulls Gun On Unarmed Teens At A Pool Party!

The whole world see this. Wonder what Texas Republican governor Greg Abbott going do about it? 

Hey, there's a situation where the Texas Department of Safety Commission are doing an investigation on a North Texas officer pulling his service weapon on a group of teens at a pool party.

There were arrests in this situation. What drew the most controversy was the officer drawing his weapon on the group and it was caught on film.

McKinney Police took the badge away from patrol supervisor Cpl. Eric Casebolt after one of the party goers filmed the officers. He happened to be the one officer who slammed a teen's head on the ground.

A large group of Black teens were at the pool celebrating the end of the school session.

A call was placed at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool. There was a disturbance between the Black teens and a White woman there. Two of the teens who were at the pool, told the junk food media that a huge riot erupted at the pool. It was driven by a few White adults there at the pool throwing out racial insults towards the group.

According to one of the teens there, a woman shouted that the group should head back to Section 8 [public] housing.

Brandon Brooks filmed most of the event. "There was a fight, the cops showed up and started putting people on the ground for no reason," he said.

The cop took a tumble. This was the one who got put on ice. The teens tried to return a dropped flashlight and  he arrested one of them.
The police department held a press conference Sunday afternoon to announce the investigation. Some residents attended the event to speak out against what they say is inequality in their town.

Again you are allowed to film police. Don't let them intimidate you with threats of arrest if you're filming. Let them know that you have right to film them and let them know you have a right to film public servants.

Cue the concern troll....

What will the concern troll post in comment section?

A story about a Black criminal beating up a White guy.

A story about a Black criminal shooting at a lawman.

A story about numerous gun crimes involving Black victims by Black suspects.

A story about comparing piss to shit.

Well like most here, I expect that one concern troll to comment on it. Obviously it's routine whenever there's a post about bad cops. I'm expecting in a few hours, the concern troll will post some comment about another event in the United States or Canada. The concern troll will waste time trying to comment to us with links.

Let me be clear, I am not interested in the links. I rather just be selective of what I post here on World News Today. The only people I answer to is me and S. Baldwin. Not a concern troll.

I just find it interesting that the viral aggregators such as Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post and the conservative Craigslist talk about it too.

Thanks Brandon Brooks for uploading. You're an internet sensation.

LOL Smiley Face As Two Lifers Escaped The Iron College!

Richard Matt and David Sweat managed to breakout of the iron college. Clinton Correctional is one of the toughest iron colleges. The law vows their escape will be short lived.

The conservatives will certainly find some blame in this. They will immediately blame Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio for two dangerous inmates escaping from the iron college. They actually had the audacity to leave a smiley face underneath their bed sheets.

Conservatives are often concern trolls when it comes to criminal behavior. They automatically blame liberal governors and softies on not establishing the death penalty.

New York is one of the states that has no death penalty.

Say if this was in Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, California and Ohio?

This is the word vomit of the "would haves". They like to make accusations of liberal policies leading to criminal violence.

The feds and state patrol are searching for the two. These two men had LIFE in the iron college. One killed a deputy and another killed his former boss and dismembered the body. Now escaping from the iron college will net state charges. But since the feds are involved in this, expect this to be a federal charge.

These two had inside help. And of course, the warden will interview all the employees. Clinton Correctional is one of the country's most toughest iron colleges. It's maximum and it was one of the very few iron colleges that interns have a rare chance to escape.

Who the hell gave them power tools?

Who was responsible for bed check?

How did they figure out the layout?

Two words: Corrupt worker!

So now there's a nationwide BOLO on Richard Matt and David Sweat. These men are considered armed and dangerous. The law also warned those who aid in their escape will be charged as well.

They will automatically go to federal time out. They will head to a Supermax if they are apprehended. If they are willing to go out like that, the feds and state will plug them with lead.

CNN got something to talk about. They told tales of their daring escape. Something out of a movie, right?

Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34, were discovered missing at the 5:30 a.m. "standing count" of inmates at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York State Police said on the agency's Facebook page.

An intense manhunt was underway with more than 200 law enforcement officers looking for the men -- the first to escape from the maximum security portion of the prison, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a press conference.
Laughing all the way out of the iron college, two interns leave the guards a "Have a nice day" note.
"These are dangerous people," he said. "They are nothing to be trifled with."

The prisoners apparently were last seen at 10:30 p.m. Friday during a standing count, authorities said.

Head counts are performed every two hours throughout the night when guards visually check to see whether inmates are in their bunks, Clinton Correctional Facility Supervisor Steven Racette said.

Matt and Sweat tricked the guards by arranging things in the bunks to look "like people were sleeping ... with these sweatshirt hoodies on," the governor said. The inmates were discovered missing at the 5:30 a.m. inmate count.

The men had side-by-side cells and apparently had obtained power tools to cut through the steel wall in their cells, authorities said.

The escapees followed a catwalk "down an elaborate maze of pipes into tunnels and exited a series of tunnels at the manhole cover," Cuomo said.
Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo is pissed. The prison warden and governor actually walked through the escape route.
Prison officials took Cuomo through the escape route.

"It was elaborate, it was sophisticated," he said. "It involved drilling through steel walls, steel pipes."

Authorities don't know how the prisoners got the power tools. Clinton Correctional Facility was built in 1845 and undergoes regular maintenance, so it's possible the tools came from the contractors and workmen who are often inside the facility, Cuomo said.

Sweat was serving life without parole after being convicted first-degree murder in the death of a Broome County sheriff's deputy on July 4, 2002, state police said.

Matt is serving 25 years to life. He was convicted on three counts of murder, three counts of kidnapping and two counts of robbery after he kidnapped a man and beat him to death in December 1997, the state police said.

The prison in the northeast corner of New York is the state's largest iron college with a population of 2,689 inmates, the corrections department said.

I've Cut The Face.....!

Image result for Facebook
It's about time for me to put an end to my social media fixation. I am taking a long break from Facebook.

It's time to end my reign on the world's most popular social media website.

I am not canceling my account for now. But I will eventually. I am getting tired of viewing everyone and anyone. I admit that I am jealous. I am jealous of everyone and everything.

I wanted to be with the "IT" crowd. I wanted to be "friends" with anyone and anybody!

My family, friends, ex-girlfriends, co-workers, and even my boss were friends on Facebook. I kept in touch with them through birthdays, anniversaries, new children, deaths and celebrations. I've posted on their walls about my life and how I'm doing! The more friends I've gotten, the better I felt. It's was one of the greatest feelings to be wanted.

Then I realized that I wasn't moving as fast as my friends and family. They're celebrating weddings, births, and new achievements. I haven't experienced any in the past four years. So I seen myself at a peak of jealous and depression.

Longing for the days of success, I seen myself as a failure!
Facebook can cause couples to break up.
The whole situation with that woman Jessica has finally woke me up to the ugly reality of life.

I am angry with myself over this. I put so much into a huge waste of time. I felt that looking at others being happy kind of makes me sad. So I don't want to be sad. I will admit this. This social media can make me jealous.

So therefore, I am on a hiatus.

I want to thank my friends, family, co-workers and formers. I wish them well.

I am taking a long (and I mean long) break from Facebook.

I am too damn nice and willing to accept or take anything. I am not mad at her for lying and deceiving me during our time, I am too embarrassed to the tell someone how I feel about it.

I don't want to share my business with everyone on social media anymore.

Maybe here on this blog. But I have to generate enough people to view it.

Anyway, I have posted some time ago about the Facebook decline. The social media titian has over 1.4 billion subscribers.

The social network was founded by four Harvard students who wanted to keep in touch with classmates at the prestigious university. Who would of thought that this little experiment would become the world's most popular way to connect to people.

Now it's over 10 years and the social media website is still reigning on top. But it's on the downslide. Predicted in less than 5 years, the social media website will lose over 80%  of active users.

Are you addicted to Facebook?

Do you get jealous of people when they share their relationships, new achievements and successes?

Ben Carson: I've Should Of Done Brain Surgery On My Staffers!

Help a brother out!

Will Ben Carson claim racism for his staff bolting on him?

Two months in and he's already in turmoil. The only Black candidate running for the clown car had most of his staff leave the campaign.

If things don't turn right for him, he may bow out.

Four top level staffers had to bounce after a bit of conflict. The Run Ben Run Pac is in disarray too.

Carson's rise to insurgent status started in 2013 when he insulted President Barack Obama during the National Prayer's Breakfast.

Since then he's been the new toy among the racist right. The former neurosurgeon who wrote A Gifted Hands decided to enter the race in the sole goal to repeal Obamacare and bring common sense conservatism to the country.

While everyone on the racist right hopes Hillary Clinton implodes, here is Ben Carson.

Carson is going through a Newt Gingrich experience. When Gingrich ran for president, middle into the campaign he lost a handful of staffers and was on the verge of major debt. He would rebound in the later debates and became the candidate who managed to win South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi in the Republican clown show in 2012. He would bow out knowing that perennial loser Mitt Romney would eventually fall to Obama.

Hannity Feuds With Lindsey Graham!

HANNITY GOTO PLACE FOR CAMPAIGN LAUNCH... 



Pathetic agitator is the go-to guy for Republicans says the conservative Craigslist. His ego is certainly blooming these days. You thought the demotion, loss of advertising and embarrassments were the end of the road for him.

Not quite yet!

He still on and doing pretty damn good for a piece of shit.

He's wagering his job! He believes that his influence will help a Republican win the White House.

And if he see another Democrat win, maybe Chief Roger might prepare the cannon for a firing.

I don't understand why the worst cable news host is even given this much attention. I have to admit, that he and the conservative Craigslist are the two reasons to why Republicans are so fucked up right now.

I know everyone wants to point the fingers at that old fart on the AM dial, but really you got to really focus on the most active agitators in the media. These two are no exception.

This guy is the most annoying agitator to ever host a show.

When he's attacking what he perceives as liberal, this guy is like a dog in with a bone in his mouth. He can't fathom anything that promotes liberalism. When it comes to concerns in the Black community, this guy plays the concern troll. He would find issues with gun control when it comes to Black on Black crime, but stand firm with gun rights for White men.

If an unarmed suspect is killed by police, this guy believes the cops regardless. According to him, Freddie Gray was on drugs when he died in police custody. Even though a witness lied about this, he's firm in believing Michael Brown was charging at Darren Wilson while firing his service weapon like a football player.

You can count on that annoying conservative agitator as the guy to promote the unarmed suspect's friends, family, and President Barack Obama were responsible for the death.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) whines to Chuck Todd about the junk food media's treatment of him.
This guy's program is a nightmare. It's like listening his three hour radio show packed as a television show. If you're into the countless nights of complaining, arguing with people and utter stupidity, you find this guy's right wing carnival right up your alley.

It's gotten so worse, even clown car running Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) aimed at him and Rachel Maddow. Graham a frequent complainer of all things Obama has formally declared his intentions of running into the clown car. He and his old buddy Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) are senile and worthless as the Stallmigos.

Graham appears on GOP Sundays quite frequently. His interview with Chuck Todd went right into his beliefs that partisans ruin the country. He aims at the gay and Maddow.

Of course, the thin skinned agitators have responded back.

I actually like Rachel Maddow. I admit I do like listening to that annoying conservative agitator. He's really annoying but honestly he's got my attention. I listen to him. I am hoping that day will come when I call his show and boldly tell him that he's extremely annoying and he will probably be the reason to why perennial candidate Hillary Clinton is the next President of the United States.

So you think Graham's complaining of that guy may have damaged his standing with voters?

I mean he's probably polling low even in his own state, so I would imagine that it's not a good idea to attack a guy who gives them a hour infomercial.

The Boys Of Summer!

Haters are gonna hate. The jobs are coming and the ney sayers are complaining about it!

The U.S. Department of Labor released its jobs report for May. Another good day for the president, a lot of belly aching for the conservatives. The May jobs were around 280,000 giving the jobs rate a rise to 5.5%. This rise was due to an uptick in those who gave up on searching for jobs and those underemployed.

Nevertheless, another healthy jobs report means the president created more jobs than his predecessor.

But will the partisan agitators make noise about it?

Of course.

They can't tolerate good news in the country. They believe everything that President Barack Obama's done has ruined the country. The gas below $3.00 a gallon in most states, the unemployment numbers are below 6%, the stock market has improved, the world looks to the United States as a developing partner, and many are spending $$$$ on luxuries.

This ends a slump of slow job growth that seemed to hoover.

The AP added that last month's strong job growth suggests that employers remained confident enough to keep hiring even after the economy shrank during the first three months of the year. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in March and April by a combined net 32,000.

Construction and health care companies the drove the May job growth. On the negative side, persistently cheaper oil led energy companies to shed workers for a fifth straight month.

Still, average hourly wages rose only 2.3 percent from a year earlier. Tepid pay gains has been a persistent problem for the economy.
Still bitching and whining.
Over the past three months, the economy has added an average of 207,000 jobs, a decent gain though lower than last year's average of 263,667.

Consumers, the main driver of the U.S. economy, remain fairly cautious. Factory orders have dropped. But Friday's solid jobs report could help confirm the economy's vitality.

Auto and home sales are accelerating despite otherwise slow-spending consumers. More big employers, such as Wal-Mart, have unveiled pay hikes.

Those factors could power faster growth, fuel job gains and boost wages. If they do, a broader economic recovery than the one that's existed in the six years since the Great Recession officially ended could emerge.

Over the past 12 months, around 3 million jobs have been added. Those additional paychecks helped increase spending on housing and autos. Sales of newly built homes have surged 23.7 percent through the first four months of 2015 compared with a year ago, government data show. Rising demand for new homes could lead construction firms to ramp up hiring.

Americans bought 1.64 million cars and trucks in May, the most since July 2005. If that trend were to endure, it would benefit a manufacturing sector that's added a scant 4,000 jobs since January.

Employers seem to be envisioning a healthier economy, given that the weekly number of people applying for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — has remained under a historically low 300,000 for more than four months. By holding on to nearly all their workers, businesses are ensuring that they will have the capacity to respond to greater customer demand.

But the economy faces other challenges. The dollar has appreciated about 19 percent in the past year against other major currencies. That trend has made U.S. goods costlier overseas, thereby squeezing exports and the U.S.-based branches of foreign companies.

Nor has cheaper gasoline delivered much help. Instead of sparking the wave of consumer spending that many economists had expected, a nearly 45 percent drop in oil prices since July has damaged a U.S. economy increasingly reliant on energy drilling. The energy industry has shed workers and cut orders for pipelines and equipment.

The setbacks have been substantial enough that the International Monetary Fund on Thursday said it thinks the Federal Reserve should hold off on raising short-term interest rates until 2016. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, saying a rate increase could disrupt the economy, urged the Fed to await signs of wage growth.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said she expects to raise rates this year if the economy continues to improve, thereby ending nearly seven years of record-low rates.

Falling unemployment usually leads to fewer people seeking work, forcing employers to boost wages. But plenty of people are still searching for jobs. The aftermath of the recession has left 8.5 million people unemployed and seeking work, about 1.3 million more than were jobless before the downturn began in late 2007.

Companies often increase pay when their workers become more productive. Yet productivity fell at a 3.1 percent annual rate in the first quarter — a sharper drop than the decline estimated a month ago, the government said Thursday.

Nichelle Nichols Suffered A Stroke!

Nichelle Nichols suffered a stroke.

Famed Star Trek actress who played Lt. Nyota Uhura suffered a mild stroke according to her publicist.

Nichelle Nichols (born Grace Dell Nichols) is an American actress, singer and voice artist. She sang with Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton before turning to acting. Her most famous role is that of communications officer Lieutenant Uhura aboard the USS Enterprise in the popular Star Trek television series (1966–1969), as well as the succeeding motion pictures, where her character was eventually promoted in Starfleet to the rank of commander. Multiple novel series have stated that she rose to at least Captain.

Nichols' Star Trek character, one of the first African American female characters on American television not portrayed as a servant, was groundbreaking in U.S society at the time. Civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. personally praised her work on the show and asked her to remain when she was considering leaving the series.

Posted by Nichelle Nichols on Thursday, June 4, 2015


The 82-year old actress is undergoing testing after suffering the stroke at her home in Los Angeles.

This happened a few months since breakout star Leonard Nimoy passed away.

George Takei went to the social media to send his regards to his friend and remind his followers to wish her well.

Former Governor Nasty Oops And Which Way Chafee Are Running Into The Clown Car!

Former governor Rick "Nasty Oops" Perry runs a second round of failure.

The former Texas governor is making a perennial run for the clown car. 

In Addison, Perry formally announced his bid. He went right into criticizing the president's policies from the economy to handling terrorism. Perry acted like he actually knew what he was talking about.

Alas, he's still a moron and there's no hope for him. Running a second time automatically makes him a second tier contender. Just ask Rick Sanboredom and Uncle Sugar Huckleberry Hound.

Perry was the governor of Texas from 2000 to 2015. He managed to carry the state through some good and not so good times. He was there for Hurricane Rita, the drought, the wildfires, the shooting of two unarmed robbery suspects by Joe Horn, and the rise in population. 

The Perry machine worked somewhat well in Texas. He managed to overcome the odds and carry three terms as a governor.

When Rick Perry ran in the 2012 presidential race, people were actually interested in him. He came in like a lion and went out like a mouse. He ran the worst campaign ever. He couldn't handle himself during debates.

When he tried to upstage perennial loser Ron Paul in a debate over which government agencies he would eliminate, he forgot and said famously "OOPS!"

Lincoln Chafee is like Wallace. An absent minded candidate.
That prove to be the Howard Dean moment for Perry.

Perry already under federal and state charges for corruption and misuse of power have tarnished his brand, but I guess he's shaking it off and hoping to court them young-ins.

Wearing hipster glasses and talking like a Texan with brains, former governor Nasty Oops maintains he's not going to fail again!

His announcement was aided by Taya Kyle, the widow of Chris Kyle, the former U.S. Navy Seal sniper who can testified to killing over 200 militants. Kyle and his friend were murdered in Texas by Eddie Ray Routh, a deranged former Marine

Along the ride comes a Democrat who was an independent and before that a Republican. The former governor of Rhode Island is also running in this race for the clown car.

Lincoln Chafee was a former governor of tiny state Rhode Island. Before he became a Democrat, he was a Republican. He was one of them Rockefeller Republicans who voted with Democrats almost 75% of the time. He was the counter balance to then segregationist former Democratic senator Zell Miller. 
Two more clowns running.
Chafee was wipe out of office in the 2006 U.S. Senate elections by Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse. 

Chafee joined some lobbyist firms for a moment before he expressed interest in running for governor of Rhode Island. 

He would leave the Republican Party and jump onto the governor's race as an independent. He would easily beat the Democrat and Republican nominee. He managed to serve only one term as governor. 

His job approval was in the toilet around the time he thought about running a reelection bid. It turned out he rather retire than have a second loss on his belt. Chafee quit the race. 

Now he's thinking about running into the clown car. He already swinging at Hillary for being a faded glory.

Rick "NASTY OOPS" Perry and "Which Way" Lincoln Chafee have now declared their intentions.

Officially the Stallmigos Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rand Paul (R-KY) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) have declared their intentions. 

Perennial candidates Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Carly Fiorina hope people forget the last time they've lost to a winner. 

Some who are been out of the limelight include; George Pataki....and Jim Gilmore if he decides to run.

And then there's the nobodys: Ben Carson, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Martin O'Malley, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC),  You can count on them to be entertaining.

So with a perennial run for former governor Nasty Oops, are you interested?

And with Which Way Chafee, are you even willing to give this clown a chance?
