The U.S. Treasury announced a new design for the $10 bill. The bill will feature a woman.
Who will get blamed now that the conservatives found out this bit of historical news?
A. Barack Obama
B. Hillary Clinton
C. Michelle Obama
D. Women's Rights Groups
E. Liberals
F. All of These Above
Guess who's on the $10 American bill?
Okay, I give you a hint..... He was the first U.S. Treasury Secretary and a statesman. He was assassinated in a duel. He was a founding member of this great country.
Give up.
Okay, his name is Alexander Hamilton. He's not a president. He and founding father Benjamin Franklin are on American currency. Hamilton and Franklin are not presidents. But they are honored respectively for their achievements.
Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 American bill. That is the highest domination to exist. There are rare higher domination bills. But the United States mandates that no amount shall exceed $100.
Alexander Hamilton is on the $10 American bill.
When the year 2020 comes, the U.S. Treasury will be kicking him to the curb.
It was announced by current U.S. Secretary Jack Lew that a woman would be featured on a redesigned ten-dollar bill by 2020. The Department of Treasury is seeking the public's input on whom should appear on the new bill.
So who's gonna get the prize?
My top choices for nomination.
1. Michelle Obama (living)
2. Nancy Reagan (living)
3. Hillary Clinton (living)
4. Harriet Tubman
5. Susan B. Anthony
6. Jacqueline Kennedy
7. Betsy Ross
8. Martha Washington
9. Mary Todd Lincoln
10. Shirley Chisolm
11. Claudia Alta Taylor "Lady Bird" Johnson
12. Coretta Scott King
13. Rosa Parks
14. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
15. Sacagawea
Rachel Dolezal and her two sons. In an interview with Matt Lauer, Dolezal says that no matter what anyone says about her, she's "Black" and her family matters than someone's opinion.
If Black women dye their hair blonde, red, hazel, or different color, they're still Black. If a White woman dyes their hair, tan their skin and talks in a matter of being Black, then they're Black.
This is what the former president of the NAACP is considering herself as and she's defiant about it.
In damage control, Rachel Dolezal appears on the junk food media outlets to dispute the charges hurled at her. This became a talked about story.
Her biological parents came out and told the junk food media that Rachel's been estranged from them for nearly a decade. She was outed by her parents for being trapped in the wrong skin. Basically she's a Black woman trapped in a White woman's body.
The media has found out that she tried to sue Howard University, a historically Black college because she felt that she wasn't getting her dues because she was a White woman.
Her ex-husband had promised to spill the dirt for $$$$$. The conservative Craigslist linked a Radar story about a mysterious sex tape circulating online. It shows Dolezal in it. Did he leak it?
Dolezal resigned as the president of the western branch of the NAACP.
What Black women think about it?
Mostly in a negative way.
She's a white woman who disguised herself as Black woman. She tries to act Black and use a Black woman's beauty as an excuse. This managed to become a national discussion on White privilege.
Many believe that she should be called out for being a fake to the cause.
It's a shame that despite all the good she's done, this one incident tarnished it.
I've said this time after time, the NAACP is not a Black group. It's devoted to civil rights and equal rights for all. It accepts anyone of color. It doesn't matter if you're Black, Brown, White, or other.
You support their cause, you're welcomed with open arms.
The racist right is aiming at the NAACP and of course President Barack Obama. They see the oldest civil rights organization and the president as the biggest racists to ever exist.
Dolezal appears on Melissa Harris-Perry and the Today show to discuss the controversy.
The NBA's Golden State Warriors win the NBA Championship.
In over 40 years, the Golden State Warriors managed secure a NBA Title in a thrilling Game 6.
The Warriors lead Stephen Curry overpowered Lebron James. Despite the praise from his disgruntled fans, the high scores and cheers, James and his team couldn't beat a strong offense the Warriors offered.
They clobber the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. 105 - 97 was the final score.
The Warriors lead throughout the series beating Labron James. James now has a nasty stockloss in this final.
Congratulations to the Warriors coach Steve Kerr on leading the Western Conference champions to the NBA Title victory.
They promised the fans there will be no more embarrassments.
Great victory for Stephen Curry, Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and David Lee. You guys deserve the title.
Oakland, San Francisco will celebrate their team's victory.
The Cavs were defeated on home turf and I am expecting that the fans will riot.
Will the junk food media call it "upset fans" or "thugs"?
Donald Trump is a business mogul and reality television star. Now you can add a presidential candidate to his roster.
Trump declared his intentions to run face first into the clown car.
Today at the Trump Enterprises, the mogul decided the time is now for him to jump into the clown car.
"Our country needs a truly great leader," says Trump. He added, "We need a leader that wrote The Art of the Deal". That was plug for his book.
He declared that the Republican candidates are worthless. He said that the Democrats and Republicans are not doing enough for America and he said that he would love to "fire" them.
The Donald wants to fire everyone in Washington.
He saved his best for President Barack Obama. He banned the president from his properties after Obama mocked him during the White House Correspondence Dinner. Since the president takes up time doing the golf courses, Trump went right into him.
He would lift the ban only if Obama would leave office effective immediately.
He took a populist form. He told that the need to save Medicare and Medicaid are essential. He said that the ACA (Obamacare) is a disaster and he wants it repealed. He declared that China is a threat.
Trump also made it clear: "If I get elected president, I will bring it back, bigger and better than ever".
Trump is a notorious birther. He has attack the president on this for years. He was a headache for the Republicans. They were looked upon as a joke. And now this carnival barker is in the race.
It's going to be a real cabal of candidates now that Trump is in.
Democrats are well aware of that network. They often warn candidates running for higher office to make sure you ignore them. They make stuff up.
Democrats should go onto the network. They shouldn't ignore the network. I mean they should actually go on these programs and combat the bullshit. They need to call out each and every agitator who dares calls them by name. Since the network loves to yell and scream about how the media is bias against Republicans, the Democrats should first say your network is profiting very well off this partisan bias.
In closing words they should tell those agitators that their network is the campaign arm of the Republican Party.
In the first run, Barack Obama told his staffers that that network has no place for him. Obama knew that John Kerry didn't stand up to the network when they ran all them smears against him. He had to hit them back. And hit them hard. He froze them out after they ran a story that claimed Hillary Clinton camp found out he attended a madrassa. It turns out to be false and that network ran that.
He called them out when they were running the Jeremiah Wright controversy nonstop. Campaign staffers called out some agitators for false and misleading lies.
Now as president, Obama knew that the network is devoted to taking his legacy down. Since 2009, the White House had feuded with the network. This feud continues to this day. Obama doesn't often appear on that network for interviews. He often gets into a hostile interview with a supposedly non-partisan reporter.
The network that scares White folks with stories of Blacks stealing from a liquor store is now devoted to scaring them with stories of a woman in a pantsuit.
Hillary Clinton pissed off Ed Henry. As often, Henry is a piece of shit. He tried to push another ridiculous loaded question at her while she was greeting supporters.
Ed Henry pissed that Hillary Clinton ignored his questions about her popularity and Benghazi.
He often spars with White House Press Secretary Josh Ernest. The network is labeled by the White House without the "news".
Henry was close to the press pool and he wanted to bum rush her with questions about her likability and her challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) gaining an advantage in Wisconsin.
Clinton ignored him. The U.S. Secret Service told him to bounce.
Now Henry is pissed and he's poo pooing on his network about how Hillary is not willing to face tough questions. Where does he go to bitch about Hillary.
That annoying conservative agitator spends his whole time trying to find accomplishments that she's done. He's doing his part to help her win by obsessing over her.
Back then he had that turd Dick Morris on the network. Morris would often run the gossip about her being in a huge feud with the president. That annoying conservative agitator was demoted and Morris was fired out the cannon after reporting numerous times that Barack Obama would lose in a landslide.
Then he puts on lack of accomplished lawmakers Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) for a sit down. He doesn't ask them what accomplishments they've had since they've been in the Senate. Matter of fact, establishment member Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has no accomplishments too.
Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) (right) apologized for sexist remark about presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
With friends like these....Who needs enemies?
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is running for president. He is a pro war candidate. He believes that President Barack Obama's foreign policies ruined relationships with the 51st State of Israel. He believes that radical Islam is worse than racism in his own state.
He believes that if he charts the right plans, he will be the nominee. He believes that Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are extremely incompetent. He already got the endorsements of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and former Joe Lieberman.
He's in his early 60s and lives in Charleston. He serves with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). Scott is the first Black senator in a long time to be elected in the South. He was appointed by Nikki Haley, the Republican governor to serve the remaining term of Jim DeMint, who resigned to become president of the Heritage Foundation. Scott and Graham are diverse in two ways.
Scott is Black. Scott is Republican. Scott is single. But Scott is straight.
Graham is white. Graham is a Republican. Graham is single. Graham is running for president. Graham is being question for his sexuality.
Many Republicans whisper that Graham is openly gay but remains confident that his sexuality will not be used as a weapon for the election.
Graham said that his sister could be the First Lady of the United States. He said that he could have a rotating first lady if necessary. He said that all the first ladies from Michelle Obama to Nancy Reagan are glamorous. He skipped Hillary Clinton. He must have forgotten that she was a first lady.
He's still obsessed with Benghazi and the server.
Enter Mark Kirk. The Illinois senator who survived a stroke is one of the very few "bipartisan" lawmakers in Washington. He is known to tell some funny jokes.
One joke fell flat.
Kirk was caught on camera telling the junk food media about Graham's wasted effort. He believes that Graham has a chance but he felt that it's not worth it. After he's a "bro with no ho".
That comment lit the internet on fire. Kirk had to face a few days of harsh criticism. He would later apologize by press statement and personal apology.
Graham is not offended. But I guess he knows that Kirk isn't supporting his bid.
Okay, the Democrats hope to recapture the senate. They have a difficult path to cross. Republicans have control of both the House and Senate. The south is nearly void of Democrats.
It's going to be a long time before the south can finally elect a Democratic senator.
But in the meanwhile, the Democrats hope to retake Wisconsin and Illinois. Two senators know the risk. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) are the two most vulnerable in the 2016 U.S. Senate race.
So far I have Wisconsin as LEAN REPUBLICAN and Illinois as a TOSS UP.
Kirk will possibly face a Democratic nominee who may be more stronger this time around.
Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) is a double amputee Iraq war veteran. She hopes she could shake the nut out of the tree. Duckworth is a two term congresswoman who beat insurgent Joe Walsh in the 2012 election.
Stallmigo Tom Cotton (R-AR) one served one term in the U.S. House before he took an opportunity to run for U.S. Senate. Cotton, a former Iraq war veteran went on to beat Mark Pryor in 2014.
Kirk's mishaps could help Duckworth secure an easy victory.
The former Republican governor of Florida has decided Monday will be the time to jump into the clown car. He will be the (uh, the one of many) declared.
He will face fellow Floridan Marco Rubio, and numerous others.
John Ellis Bush will face an uphill climb. Many see him as a reminder of a failed legacy. Others see him as the potential to beat Hillary Clinton.
He's off to a rough start. Many of the party's faithful have already considering a traitor for embracing immigration reform. There was a little award that was given to Hillary a few years back.
Bush is willing to do bipartisanship. That's something that the insurgency refuses to support.
They don't want big government Republicans. They don't want amnesty supporting Republicans.
Jeb is trying to distance himself from the Bush legacy.
I am guessing they'll attack him on his socially conservative stances as well.
After a few years of gathering the $$$$, Jeb is in. He's got the most to lose in this battle.
Well let's see who's in this.
Ted Cruz
Rand Paul
Marco Rubio
Benjamin Carson
Carly Fiorina
Mike Huckabee
Rick Santorum
George Pataki
Lindsey Graham
Rick Perry
Now add Jeb Bush.
If they decide on jumping into the clown car, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, John Kasich and Donald Trump will join a crowded tent.
I will be honest with you, none of these candidates inspire me. Not even the Democrats.
Pressure mounts as embattled regional president calls it quits.
Rachel Dolezal is under fire for lying about her race. The NAACP is cautiously supporting her despite cries for her to resign. Dolezal is the current president of the western region's NAACP.
The western NAACP based in Spokane, Washington.
The issue that has her in jeopardy is the fact that she's a White woman and for nearly a decade she pretended to be a Black woman.
Lying about your race is crime in the court of public opinion. It's a crime when you do lie on a government form. What she done when she was appointed a liaison for Spokane's civil rights division. She checked herself as Black.
For the last few years, some have questioned her biography. She created controversy by posing with a Black man who she claimed as her father.
Her biological parents and siblings had enough. They want to bring her back to earth. Her mother and father came out swinging. Dolezal is feuding with her family. The family decided to play their "trump" card being the "race" card.
I guess this bombshell will not end with corruption at the oldest civil rights group.
Dolezal was going to organize a press conference to address the controversy. She postpone the press conference. Instead she decides on calling it quits.
The NAACP again told the junk food media, that it's not a solely Black organization. Anyone who believes in equal rights for all Americans is welcomed to join.
Art imitates life. Rachel Dolezal resigns from the NAACP as their president after the junk food media discovered she lied Black to get in.
But some Black people believe that Dolezal's white privilege has maintained this farce and she should be fired out the cannon.
Kind of like the Donald Sterling controversy. The NAACP looked the other way when it accepted that huge check from the former Los Angeles Clippers owner.
Sterling got recorded saying that Blacks are disgusting and he won't want them in the presence of his NBA team and games.
Dolezal will continue to be a reminder to conservatives on how the NAACP has done nothing for the Black community and they see them as racial agitators. They will now use Rachel Dolezal as their proof.
And no amount of good will save her. For some in the Black community, they think it was about time to revoke her "ghetto pass".
Your thoughts on this controversy are welcomed. Me and S. Baldwin will continue to follow this controversy.
County sheriff arrest man for shopping in Walmart too damn slow.
S.W.B. is short for shopping while Black.
While shopping at a Pensacola Walmart, four men film an interaction with a female Florida deputy for Escambia County. The deputy was called allegedly by management after seeing four men shopping the store in a matter that appeared "suspicious".
Three men were walking while one was in a motorized shopping cart. The deputy was none too thrilled to see these four men. She would order them out of the store.
One of the men had told the officer, that they got a bag of Doritos in the shopping cart. They have a right to shop. They done nothing wrong.
The deputy wasn't having any of this. She warned the man in the motorized cart to leave.
“You cannot shop. I’m telling you to get your ass up off that cart and get out of the store.”
Of course, cops shouldn't cuss at people. It escalates the situation. One of the men called the deputy out on this. "She's cussing at us", says one of the men.
“Because I’m speaking fucking English and the fact that you don’t understand me — ” said the deputy to the man in the motorized cart.
They were told to leave because they were shopping too slow.
After being told to leave the store, one man can be heard saying, “We can still pay for our stuff,” before adding “I ain’t going to be put in jail for nothing. I ain’t going to jail.” Then he would call her a bitch.
The deputy had enough. She would cuff the man in the motorized cart.
As he is being led out of the Walmart the other men told the officer that it's not fair. They were told to leave Walmart for allegedly shopping too slow. The management believed they're up to no good.
Again you have a right to film the law. You don't have to speak to the law. You don't have to be friends with the law. You can talk back to an officer. You can ask for their name, their badge number or supervisor. You can question why you are being detained or arrested. You have a right to refuse search of your home, your car and your personal properties.
The video hits the internet over the weekend and it's already rolling over 1 million views as of now.
Some claimed that Walmart mentioned the video in which a man filmed two women fighting in the store. They claim it's a double standard. No one was arrested in this incident. They were eventually banned after Walmart saw the video.
I've been a frequent listener to talk radio. I often hear the overreaction to the world's event through the country's most controversial agitators. The right and the left have their share of outrage towards lawmakers and leaders. They make $$$$ off profit rage. It's assured that they'll continue on for the time being.
But as they do, will you eventually start tuning them out?
I am seriously considering that. Like with social media, it's too polarizing. I don't want to be mad at the world because I don't agree with their views. But there are a handful of Americans so invested in voicing their concerns on talk radio. My god, it's like listening to a garbage disposal breaking down.
Two notorious agitators are seeing their stock lower this year. And I am guessing Republicans are still putting their fate in their hands instead of looking elsewhere.
Republicans can't win using Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, The Drudge Report, and Fox News. If you ask me, I believe they were the reasons to why Barack Obama won his elections.
If the Republicans use this annoying conservative agitator as a source, they might lose.
My prediction about Sean Hannity's future reign on Fox News is simple. It's going to be few more years. The time will come when the cannon is fired and he's in it. I give him three more years before the cannon fires him out. And when it he lands, he'll either be on The Blaze, Newsmax or a network that he has trashed on his right wing carnival.
Sad reality. Like the music industry it's effects everything. Talk radio is on the decline. Thanks to agitators such as that old fart Rush Limbaugh, everyone has taken a nosedive.
People are still listening but it's not a profitable market because advertisers believe that talk radio agitators are too extreme.
iHeart Media, Cox Media and Cumulus are media titians. They control most of the radio stations and offer the stations Rush and Sean's right wing shows to the AM and FM dial. Because they generate millions of listeners, most would expect them to be profitable wherever they go. These two are the top talkers in the country.
To sum it up, they are the most controversial. Because of their acid tongues, some businesses have already told radio stations not to air commercials around their shows. It also affects the second stringers and liberal agitators as well.
On most radio stations you hear may hear PSA ads. That's the new norm now that major companies such as GM, McDonald's, AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner Cable, Comcast and People Magazine severed ties with talk radio.
This is the effect of that boycott against that old fart. The old fart went off on Sandra Fluke in 2012 and started a media discussion about the negative effects of the freedom of speech. Limbaugh may have self-inflicted himself in this situation.
Glenn Beck is aware of talk radio's demise. To prevent him from fading out of the limelight, he created The Blaze. The Blaze is competing with Newsmax and conservative titian Fox News. He also created a television and radio network that offers unabashed opinions from conservative and libertarian agitators.
Even liberal agitators find it even harder to move into territory. Stephanie Miller's home station was progressive. Miller was dropped from her station for Limbaugh.
Limbaugh lost most of top billing syndicators in major markets. Now he's on second stringer radio stations. The second stringer stations that carried Miller, Alan Colmes and Thom Hartmann are now for Limbaugh, Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and Mark Levin.
The money demo is age 25 - 54. Talk radio seen an epic nosedive in the money demo. Even Limbaugh acknowledged the slide.
It's a damn shame that in the wake of numerous controversies in the age of Barack Obama, these agitators have profited well. But the effects they've created has everyone turned off to politics.
Talk radio is the White man's soapbox. They like to hear one of their own bitch about politics political correctness and policies. We can't convince a listener of talk radio to hear the other side.
It's already a lost.
It doesn't matter who becomes the next president. The environment is so toxic, it's expected that the next president will face strong opposition. It's expected that agitators will waste no time attacking the character of the president. They will create decades of polarization and the lack of compromise.
It will eventually doom any opportunities to get things done.
Expect the Democrats to get revenge on Republicans. If a Republican nominee becomes the president, the Democrats will waste no time trying to destroy him. They will be even more worse than that old fart saying "I hope he fails."
Republican agitators claim they were booted from a Hillary Clinton campaign stop.
As Hillary Clinton launches a formal campaign, the Republicans found it possible to troll her. When it was told that Republican protesters were going to be there, they were thrown out!
I don't want to draw to conclusions, but I bet he and his posse went in with Blue shirts, then were ejected after they turned their shirts over to say Stop Hillary.
After they left, they took a picture with the shirts post it on social media to see it if would get dumbass Jim Hoft and the conservative Craigslist attention.
This is according to the Deputy Press Secretary for the Republican Party, Raffi Williams, the son of Loserville commentator Juan "Token" Williams.
Williams is one of the instigators who told the junk food media about crowd sizes and the events had a "sea of white faces".
Again, Republicans show a sign of desperation. The accusations of Republicans being told to turn their shirts back or face removal is bullshit.
I believe that it's a rouse.
But nonetheless it caused a form of conservative outrage.
And so it begins....cue the outrage.
Hillary Clinton launches her formal campaign on Roosevelt Island in New York City. She was aided by her husband, former president Bill Clinton.
Democratic challengers are pouncing on Clinton because of her hypothetical stance on President Barack Obama's proposal for trade overseas.
The Democrats blocked the legislation that would give the president fast track actions on foreign trade with Asian allies.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Martin O'Malley are hoping to get out of single digits by attacking Clinton on her stances as well.
I am in agreement. The candidates aren't inspiring.
They are too polarizing! Republicans really are terrible. They are still stuck on stupidity and their obsession with Obama and Clinton.
Barack Obama beat most of them. If he ran a third term, he would beat them again. Damn shame the 22nd Amendment prevents it.
Miami cops puts down a man in front of children. The witnesses say that they were trigger happy. The law says that he waved a metal stick in a menacing way.
Hey kids, do you want to see some real action on the streets?
Miami metro police are facing a backlash after one of their own puts down a man most deem harmless in front of several dozen children.
Miami Police Chief Rodolfo Llanes said officers were responding to a report of a violent dispute on Thursday morning. He said several dozen people were in Gibson Park, many of them children, who may have witnessed the events that unfolded.
“I understand the anxiety that's been created across the country from police-citizen interactions, but I would ask that everyone, wait for the facts of the case and not make up your own story,” Llanes told reporters. “We will know what the facts of the case are.”
The chief added that the officer involved in the shooting, who is a 20-year veteran of the department, will be reassigned to administrative duties pending the investigation's outcome.
What happen was law responded to a disturbance at a locla park. The 46 year old man Fritz Severe according to the Miami Heard has a lengthy criminal past with convictions for violent and non-violent offenses in different jurisdictions.
The law gave the order for the man to drop his metal stick. He did not drop the stick. They let him have it. He died on route to the hospital.
Witnesses said that he was not threatening the officers. Stephanie Severance said she was shocked when she heard the shots and later realized the bullets were fired at a homeless man she saw every morning and the man who shot him was a Miami Police Officer.
Fritz Severe had mental issues. The Miami police puts him down.
“He stopped the man, the man had the metal stick, pointed at him, the next thing you know the man shot him,” Severance said.
Several witnesses were distraught that the officer did not use a Taser instead of a gun. Llanes said not all officers carry Tasers as they have to be certified. He would not say whether the officer who pulled the trigger was carrying a Taser.
Someone called the law on Severe because he felt "threatened" by his presence and for the sake of the children he "didn't belong there".
Police said they were called by a park worker who asked them to remove the homeless man because he was a threat to the children in Gibson Park. The park has a public swimming pool and athletic fields and was being used by several dozen children attending a summer camp, some of which witnessed the shooting.
“We have anywhere from 40-60 witnesses that we have to interview, some of them being kids. This is going to be a long investigation because FDLE [Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement] have to put together all those witness statements,” Police Chief, Rodolfo Llanes told reporters.
He said the mechanics of the confrontation will not be known until the witnesses are interviewed. A reporter asked the Llanes if police officers are trained to handle things differently when in close proximity to children.
“Unfortunately officers can’t pick where the confrontation happens so officers are trained to be aware of their surroundings when they do discharge their weapons,” he concluded.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Fritz Severe.
Was the Miami Police equipped with body cameras given the rash of police involved incidents?
Was there a witness who actually filmed the event?
Was the person who called 911 doing a "SWATTING" prank?
