Money talks and a lot of bullshit gets elected. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) is a longtime Philadelphia lawmaker who is facing a federal slam for corruption.
A longtime lawmaker from Philadelphia is under federal indictment for corruption.
Paging Melanie Sloan of the C.R.E.W., we got another one for you!
Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) served his district for over 20 years. The law handed an indictment based on his association with an aide that helped him gain $$$$$$$$. This is a complex money laundering scheme in which Fattah and his former aid Gregory Naylor would use a million dollar loan for an that a currently unnamed candidate got when Fattah went through his failed bid to be mayor of Philadelphia.
He would then pay back the money with federal grant money that was intended for nonprofit groups that Fattah was associated with.
Naylor plead guilty in this charge. In order to shave off the severity, he sung like a canary and threw his buddy under the bus. Even Fattah's son Junior is under indictment because he obtained student loans from a "wink, wink" nod.
Fattah got served 29 slams. Each slam carries up to LIFE in federal time out if he's found guilty.
Fattah is innocent until proven guilty. These slams include:
Using a secret $1 million loan from a wealthy supporter to back his 2007 run for mayor of Philadelphia.
Repaying the donor's loan through a nonprofit Fattah controlled that had received funding from the federal government.
Attempting to steer a $15 million federal grant to a political consultant who Fattah's campaign owed $130,000.
Using campaign funds to pay a consulting company, which then paid off $23,000 in student loans for Fattah's son.
Taking an $18,000 bribe from an associate in exchange for attempting to secure him an ambassadorship and masking the bribe in the form of a fake car sale.
This year alone two active Democratic lawmakers are under indictment. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Fattah have been indicted by the U.S. Justice Department.
Menendez claims that Obama's punishing him for not supporting the Iranian deal. But in reality, he's under indictment for skirting funds to a longtime friend who got $$$$$$$$$ in a medical scam. Also the talk about messing with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republican comes to mind.
Look at this as a reason to why Congress has low job approval.
Look at this as a possibility for Republicans to seize on a district the Democrats have long secured.
Look at this as a possibility to blame President Barack Obama for the embattled Democratic lawmaker's failures.
Fattah's 2nd Congressional District is SAFE DEMOCRAT. The district represented has a Cook Political Index lean of D+39.
It's ironic, he says he creating solutions to problems, when in reality he is one of the problems.
The possibility of criminal indictments handed to the officers involved in the Cleveland shooting of Tamir Rice could come soon. I won't hold my breath about it.
Anyway, there were numerous events of unrest up in Cleveland. There was a confrontation with officers after they slammed the head of 14 year old teen after he allegedly was spotted with alcohol.
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority police were met with the #BlackLiveMatter protesters.
The Guardian reports that the officer would put the spray on the protesters.
According to the Greater Cleveland regional transit authority, its officers were taking an intoxicated teenage bus rider to a police station just as the conference was ending about 5 pm. A large crowd blocked the squad car and tried to get the youngster out. One of the officers turned and began pepper-spraying the crowd.
Other law enforcement agencies responded, including Cleveland police department. The youngster was taken examined in an emergency medical service unit, and released to his mother about 6 pm.
No arrests were made. The transit authority did not release the officer’s name. The agency’s officers are not affiliated with the city’s police department.
A video of the incident quickly went viral, and lit a community that is tense from three police-related deaths.
For months, Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson and its top law enforcement officers, as well as Cuyahoga county prosecutor Timothy McGinty, have been pressured by activists unhappy with the handling of the cases of Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson and Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams.
Rice, a 12-year-old, was fatally shot in November when Cleveland patrolman Timothy Loehmann mistook his toy gun for the real thing. Neither Loehmann nor his partner, Frank Garmback, have been charged.
This is the part where it got graphic. Ray Tensing, ex-cop for the University of Cincinnati will have a day in court. He was indicted on murder and involuntary manslaughter charges. Sam DuBose wasn't a threat. He was a victim.
The Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters has thrown the hammer at a University of Cincinnati police officer who used his service weapon on Sam DuBose.
Me and S. Baldwin have followed the developments in Cincinnati.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Samuel DuBose.
The law put the cuffs on ex-officer Raymond Tensing, 25. He was immediately fired out the cannon once the law determined he lied on his report about the confrontation with Sam DuBose, 43 year old father of 12. The stop was caused by a front place missing. The officer claimed that Sam threw the vehicle in high gear with his arm in the window. He used the service weapon to stop him. He put a slug in his head and Sam died immediately from lead.
Tensing a White cop stopped a Black motorist for a petty offense.
Tensing was nothing but a rookie according to Deters. He even went as far to say that Tensing had no business ever wearing a badge. Tensing was four years with Green Hills and one year with UC.
That means that the evidence on his body camera and dash camera showed something totally different than what he put in his report.
Ray Tensing got a day in court.
The video captured the firing of the service weapon.
According to Tensing, Sam was drunk and offered him a six pack. That would have been the racist right's talking point if the case turned out to be in favor of the law. Tensing claimed that Sam couldn't pull out a license and had a struggle with him. The two struggled for the door. He had no choice but to give a lead sandwich.
What really happened was a routine pull over. It was a calm exchange between Sam and Tensing.
No threats, no physical altercation, no belligerent or aggressive behavior towards Tensing.
Sam explained to Tensing that he was driving his wife's car. He had a closed bottle of gin. He asked why he had to get out the car. Tensing grabbed the door and told him to exit the vehicle. Sam holds the door back and rev up the vehicle. That's when Tensing decided to put the lead in the head of Sam. The vehicle moved only after the lead when into Sam's head. Tensing concocted this story of an aggressive drunk who tried to peel off with his hand in the window.
The University of Cincinnati chief Jason Goodrich let the cannon fire after he and Deters reviewed the video.
Tensing is innocent until proven guilty in this. If found guilty, this ex-cop will get LIFE in the iron college.
Wondering whether the conservative agitators will take the side of Tensing? Of course.
This is the first time in Cincinnati history that an officer got cuffed. The unfortunate circumstances of a cop who felt "threatened" because he saw a Black guy with a nice ride.
A cop who automatically assumed guilt before innocence.
We will keep you updated with anything that comes in this controversy.
The former president of the Taliban who the U.S. sought for aiding terrorist leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahrii may have been killed. The United States hasn't confirmed this.
The United States government is trying to confirm that the former president of Afghanistan was killed in an incident. There's no official word on the death.
Mohammad Omar, the Mullah of the Taliban and supreme president of Afghanistan may have been caught. By which caught is the disease that kills without treatment. Some say that he died of Tuberculosis.
The United States doesn't even have an official picture of Omar. He is so reclusive, most of the government business during the time of the Taliban was handled by his English spoken assistants.
They outlawed photography and its possible the only known picture of the leader is what was reported by the BBC.
He was a 6'6'' tall man who had one missing eye. He was the father of 15 children.
There have been several reports of Mullah Omar's death in the past.
A confirmed picture of Mohammad Omar, the Mullah of the Taliban. You rarely see him in public. He doesn't often talk to the press and his government banned photography.
However, this is the first to be confirmed by top sources in the Afghan government.
Mullah Omar led the Taliban to victory over rival Afghan militias in the civil war that followed the withdrawal of Soviet troops.
His alliance with al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden prompted the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
Meek Mill and Drake are feuding. Pass the popcorn and let's see who's got the bars!
Like Tyga, Chris Brown and Birdman, Drake (Aubrey Graham) ain't going to allow a biter go at him without a response.
The biter is an artist he frequently recorded with. Drake had many feuds with rappers. Some are still ongoing, while others are squashed or not relevant.
List them
Chris Brown - This ongoing feud with the pop singer because of Rihanna. This feud got violent. They had tried to squashed the feud. They even appeared together at the 2014 ESPY Awards. Despite this, Brown went to record with Tyga and launched a series of social media digs and diss at Drake.
Tyga - The rapper wanted to release Last Kings: The Gold Album 18th Dynasty. When he was interviewed by the junk food media, he told the press that he doesn't like Drake. He called Drake and Nicki Minaj phony. Claimed Drake used a ghostwriter. This is an ongoing feud. As with Drake, the rapper has problems with the label. The rapper released the album without support from Cash Money. Drake aimed at the Compton rapper for his controversial relationship with Kylie Jenner on a few songs.
Birdman - Rap mogul feud with Lil' Wayne. Drake offered support to Weezy during his feud with his former mentor. Drake and others have complained of shoddy business practices. Drake released a series of subliminal shots saying that he's leaving after the contract ends.
Young Thug - Drake dissed rapper for siding with Birdman. Thugger has signed a management deal with the label. He joined the Rich Gang this year. Thugger severed ties with Drake, Gucci Mane, Rich Homie Quan and Lil' Wayne.
Ludacris - Entertainer responded to claims made by Drake and Big Sean. They claim Ludacris stole their style of rapping. On a series of mixtapes, Ludacris had aimed at the rappers for biting on his style. This feud was quickly squashed.
Common - Alleged feud started with Drake dating Common's ex, tennis star Serena Williams. The entertainer had subliminal diss aimed at Drake. Drake responded to Common with a verse on Stay Schemin'. It was a featured single on the Rick Ross's Rich Forever mixtape. Common responded back on his version of the song. The rappers traded barbs for a moment. The feud is over.
Kendrick Lamar - Appeared on Big Sean "Control" song and landed a diss at Drake, Sean and others for being fake. Kendrick Lamar doesn't want nothing to do with any of them. J. Cole and Drake, two artists who Lamar worked with in the past have responded to him. On Drake's The Language and Used To, he mention Lamar for being a biter. Drake stated that Lamar is striving to be famous when in reality mediocre.
Diddy (Sean "Puffy" Combs) - He collaborated with Diddy on The Dirty Money-Diddy album. Diddy got into an altercation with Drake and punched him. The media mogul was pissed that Drake and his producer Boi-1da had skipped a beat on him. Diddy wanted Drake to be a feature on his fifth album. The rapper turned it down. Diddy ran up on him in Miami and diva'd up!
Jay-Z - Drake have worked with Jay-Z many times. The rapper felt that Lil' Wayne and Drake have dissed him and Kanye West in their songs. Drake took shots at Jay-Z for being soft. Jay-Z responded back on DJ Khaled's song to call Drake softer than a lacrosse team. Drake passed on the media mogul's music streaming service. Tidal is struggling and was hoping Drake would join the social media service. Drake passed on it. He went on to join Apple for music streaming services. That also sparked the feud.
Pusha T - At first no one seen it coming. Pusha T was the first to claim that Drake was using ghostwriters and stealing flows. Pusha T is officially the first rapper to make the claims of Drake doing that. He also mocked Drake for being signed to five labels and not collecting a royalty check. The rapper have also mocked Drake for being soft. Lil' Wayne reacted to Pusha T on a few singles. Drake ignored Pusha T. This feud is ongoing.
DMX - The troubled entertainer has gotten upset with Drake over the proposed Aaliyah album. Drake using the late singer Aaliyah in his single and the rapper claimed that it was disrespectful for him to do this. This feud is not mentioned in the news.
Funkmaster Flex - The Hot97 DJ has often sparked feuds with rappers in the past. Benzino, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne are often targets. Flex made the shocking revelation that Quentin Miller, an Atlanta based rapper helped Drake through a handful of songs. He even released "proof" of Drake doing a freestyle while looking at his cellphone.
You can now add Meek Mill to the list.
They just released a song called R.I.C.O. and its getting major play on the radio stations.
Meek Mill (Robert Williams) celebrated his first number one album on Billboard. He can thank the Young Money/Cash Money family for helping him succeed in this. Dreams Worth More Than Money sold 340,000 copies, and stayed on the charts for two weeks. The album has positive reviews.
Meek has Rick Ross on the album. There's no one else from the Maybach Music Group label. He has apparently distanced himself from the rest of the label.
The album has 16 tracks and features Future, Swizz Beatz, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Diddy
Two of the songs being played on the radio are featuring either one or two acts.
Drake had offered a verse for the album.
Meek is dating Nicki Minaj and has proposed to her.
Despite all this, the money talks and a whole lot of bullshit walks.
Stop comparing drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out! 😁
Meek Mill claims that Drake has a ghostwriter for his albums. He also admitted that he was upset that Drake didn't promote the album on social media upon its release. "Stop comparing drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out," Meek Mill commented.
Dizzy basically hopped on the microphone and let him have it. In a song called "Charged Up" he aimed at the Philly rapper for his low records sales and his relationship with Nicki Minaj.
Drake pointed out that his mixtape (album) sold 1.3 million in two weeks while Meek sold 340,000 and stalled. He also pointed out that the Meek needs features in order to survive. Dizzy doesn't need a whole lot of features.
UMG has pulled the song from YouTube and it's been leaked on the net.
But I heard it and I can say its a tap.

Meek Mill responded to the diss. He plans on releasing Beautiful Nightmare and so far his fans are hungry for a release. On his social media page, Meek decided to taught Drake by posting a few hints about it.
This feud with the Cash Money label has Weezy, Drake and Minaj looking for other venues. All of them are feuding with the label. Each of them are pissed with Birdman delaying or shelving album releases.
So far, Lil' Wayne released the Free Weezy Album and it netted him a lawsuit from Cash Money for releasing an album without permission. Weezy accuses Birdman and Young Thug of setting him up in Atlanta. There was a shooting at his tour bus and the former tour manager for Thugger is caught up. He's singing like a canary. Now Birdman is under federal watch.
Nicki Minaj's song Anaconda got shafted at the MTV Video Music Awards. She gets pissy and hits up social media mocking the awards and subliminally dissing Taylor Swift. The pop singers got into a little spat before they eventually dead the feud.
Drake is releasing his fifth album (uh fourth album) this year. He signed to Apple to promote it. This is supposedly the last album on the Young Money/Cash Money label before he strikes it out on his own.
The president aims at the clowns running for his seat. He said that the Republicans in Congress and those who running for the clown car are failures.
Donald Trump was the first to get it. Obama brought up the birth certificate issue. He mocked the critics for wasting time on this issue. He said that Trump's rise in the polls shows the failure of leadership within the Republican Party.
Obama noted Mike Huckabee's criticism of the historic deal to cease Iran's nuclear program. Huckabee compared the proposal to allowing the Holocaust. Obama said that Huckabee changed gears for political expediency. The comparisons are ridiculous.
He also aimed at Ted Cruz for being a douche. Cruz aimed at Mitch The Turtle and Harry Reid for advocating the president's proposals. He believes that the president caved to Iran. Cruz believes the Senate is aiding and abetting Obama.
There are 16 clowns running for the Republican nomination. None of them are inspiring. None of them are willing to accept change. Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorna, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Marco Rubio, George Pataki, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham and Rick Perry are trying to outcrazy one another.
Every one of them go to the most annoying conservative agitator for airtime.
I've said it one too many times. But this time I hope it sticks. I believe that Sean Hannity will help Democrats win the White House. Hannity is so fucking annoying. He can't go a day without dragging President Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton name into it. I mean he is a pure form of word vomit.
Hannity will doom the Republican Party.
Hannity's radio and television program is by far the worst. It's nothing but the constant bashing of liberals, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. His show is a presser for Republicans. His show is promoting failed policies. His show promotes Islamophobia, homophobia, and racial instigation.
Hannity can't go a day without blaming someone for his own failures.
Going to this right wing carnival will doom their chances at winning elections. I mean seriously, this butt kissing Republican will grant them free airtime. This airtime comes with no results. The candidates are just looking forward to replace Hannity once he gets fired out the cannon. He'll be joining Ed Schultz soon if a Democrat wins the White House.
Trump is leading in the polls and the establishment hates it. Reince Pribeus still having trouble trying to build a rainbow coalition. But so far, he failed at trying to reach out to Black and Hispanic voters.
Right now if you line them against a Democratic nominee, the Republican will lose.
If this was another Obama's reelection, he would beat every Republican running and Hillary Clinton in a primary. Damn the 22nd Amendment.
The city of Hagatna. The city is the capital of the U.S. territory of Guam. The residents are U.S. citizens but are banned from voting in presidential elections. HBO's John Oliver pointed out that Guam has a high turnout of voters in their choosing of the nominee for the president. Unfortunately, they can't vote for the nominee. Five territories in the United States have longed for the right to be recognized but Congress is once again inept in doing so.
Republican governors and lawmakers are trying to pass stricter voting laws to keep Blacks and the poor away from the ballot box. Young voters aren't inspired to vote in elections. The candidates running aren't inspiring.
Donald Trump sucks most of the air out of the room. Republicans are feuding with one another.
Conservatives and concern trolls are trying to stop Hillary Clinton's momentum.
Bernie Sanders is getting name recognition and criticism.
The Congress is still unproductive. They can't even pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill. On July 31, the money dries up. Construction workers will lose their jobs and roads will not be completed. Gridlock will continue. Americans will be totally pissed off.
The 2016 U.S. Elections are coming. Many Americans will have a chance to vote. They will pick a successor to President Barack Obama. They will have an opportunity to pick a governor, their representatives and senators.
In the U.S. territories, the residents only elect a governor and a non-voting delegate for the U.S. House of Representatives. They vote in their local elections but no presidential elections.
It's a shame that even in the United States, we still have a long way to go before everyone is counted as equal.
There are five island territories under jurisdiction of the United States. They regard these as territories of the United States.
United States territories are any extent of region under the sovereign jurisdiction of the federal government of the United States.
American Samoa (pop. 55,000 capital Pago Pago)
Guam (pop. 138,000 capital Hagatna)
Northern Mariana Islands (pop. 54,000 capital Saipan Island)
Puerto Rico (pop. 4.5 million capital San Juan)
Virgin Islands of the United States (104,000 capital Charlotte Amalie)
About few months back John Oliver of Last Week Tonight on HBO explained why the need for voting rights doesn't often apply to African-Americans, the poor and 18-24 year old groups.
The flags of U.S. Territories. 1. Puerto Rico 2. Northern Mariana Islands 3. Guam 4. American Samoa 5. Virgin Islands
In these U.S. territories they are banned from voting in presidential elections.
Matter of fact, those born in American Samoa aren't American citizens. They are U.S. nationals. They must apply for a passport with a special documentation saying they are nationals. American Samoa has 55,000 residents living there.
American Samoa is located in the South Pacific Ocean. The territory has one of the largest recruitment of military enlistment. Those who fought for America have no legal right to call themselves U.S. Citizens. Some residents have considered petitioning for independence.
Congresswoman Amata Coleman Radewagen (R-AS) is a non-voting delegate for the House of Representatives. She is the first woman to serve for the U.S. territory of American Samoa. She is the first Republican to be elected. She and many of her constituents are considered U.S. nationals. They are not granted U.S. citizenship.
Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands are commonwealths. They are insular areas where the government advocates free association status. Given that these territories and residents are granted as U.S. Citizens, these territories are semi-independent and often times represented as a country and not a territory.
Puerto Rico, a semi-autonomous territory (regarded as a commonwealth) has a fiscal crisis and the U.S. Congress refuses to give aid to the island. Puerto Rico has over 4.5 million residents living there.
The United States offers assistance to the territories whenever its necessary. But expect it to be another partisan battle between the inept lawmakers who believe the key to balancing a budget is to cut the safety net.
The territories have a non-voting delegate who is assigned on a committee but are barred from general voting. These Representatives are not pleased that Congress failed them as well.
Any thoughts on this?
Do you believe that the Voting Rights Act should apply to the U.S. Territories?
Do you believe that its time for the United States to grant citizenship to the residents of American Samoa?
First things first these were the victims of tragedies.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, Kate Steinle, Jillian Johnson, Mayci Breaux, Rexdale Henry, Kindra Chapman, Samuel Debose, Carson Holmquist, Thomas Sullivan, Squire "Skip" Wells, David Wyatt, Randall Smith and Dontae Martin.
May you all rest in peace. World News Today send our condolences.
Here we go again. World News Today have covered an influx of violence in the United States.
And yet, our concern trolls make the case to assume guilt before innocence.
A concern troll is a person who participates in a debate posing as an actual or potential ally who simply has some concerns they need answered before they will ally themselves with a cause. In reality they are a critic.
In the case of the Louisiana terrorist who lit up a movie theater, the concern trolls say now it's not the time to act on gun control. The terrorist has mental issues. The terrorist didn't hit the radars of the Homeland Security.
In the case of Sandra Bland who was arrested she questioned the officer orders.
Anonymous said... .....another n166er who chose not to comply with a police officer's demands? Another criminal mind n166er is taken off the streets , good riddance! riots at 11.....
This is what we're dealing with in America.
The hashtag #BlackLivesMatter meant something. It's the reaction towards the junk food media portrayal of Black people. The Black Lives Matter movement also speaks out and organizes against police brutality against African-Americans in the United States.
Republican judge from Waller County post on social media that the victim caused her own arrest and later death.
It was met with White resentment and the counter troll responses #GoHomeDeRay #AllLivesMatter, #BlueLivesMatter, etc.
The agitators went into their usual blame the victim nonsense.
First things first, a Waller County judge went to social media to say that Bland had large amounts of THC in her system. They are saying that she was under the influence of marijuana. Trey Duhon, a Republican (no surprise) judge was the one who put that out there. People fired back asking why the fuck you got to bring up this shit. He said "well it may have" contributed to her arrest and later her death. Duhon eventually deleted the posting and clammed up.
The network that inspires right wing terrorism is now talking about it. Obviously, we know how they feel about this situation. Sandra Bland was guilty and Obama should not speak on it.
Megyn The Outrage Princess hosted the one Black commentator who happens to be a lawman himself. The controversial Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke is back once again bitching about how Black America should respect the law and she did it to herself.
Ann Coulter called her a druggie scofflaw.
Bill Cunningham said that Sandra caused her own death by not listening to the order and getting mouthy with the law.
This just a portion of the racist reactions to the death of Sandra Bland.
Is it fair to say that for every Black person to die in police custody, the conservatives will find some reason to justify the law's side?
Even though Majority Leader Mitch The Turtle (R-KY) wants the Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) repealed, he's getting even tired of fighting this battle. He is also getting tired of political novices telling him what he needs to do.
President Barack Obama is getting fed up with the inept Congress. His final years in office will be met with great opposition. The president hopes that Americans will see Republicans for what they are. A bunch of ignorant idiots.
The Republicans are infighting and the junk food media finally acknowledging that this rift between the establishment and insurgency has gotten worse.
Things can't get done with this Congress. Many lawmakers believe that the political environment is extremely toxic. Some blame the insurgency for the toxic nature.
The lawmakers spent Sunday trying to pass a transportation bill and a few slip ins.
The slip ins were the repeal of Affordable Care Act for the 60th time. It failed. The defund Planned Parenthood proposal failed. The demand to make Iran recognize Israel or face sanctions failed. The advocating of funds for the Export-Import Bank for the president's trade deal with Asian nations is likely to make it through.
One senator has had enough of it. He blasted the Majority Leader on Friday. It's winning praise from the insurgency.
The establishment is none too happy with it.
Word on the street is that Republican leaders are going to put him in his place. Mitch is going to make them suffer if they can't fall in place.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is a part of the Stallmigos. He and six other members of the Republican led Senate have openly bucked the party for "giving in" to Obama.
He believes that the Republicans caving in to the Ex-Im Bank proposal. Cruz believes that the Republicans allow crony capitalism to occur.
Cruz went on this tirade.
"[I've taken the Republican leader] at his word. Like St. Peter, he repeated it three times. The only thing I told the proponents of the Export-Import Bank is like any other senator in this body, they could offer any amendment they liked on any amendable vehicle, but I gave them nothing."
To see the so-called Republican leader whip against allowing a vote to defund Planned Parenthood...makes clear that the McConnell-Reid leadership is united in the favor of big government.
The majority leader and minority leader, arm-in-arm again, should not team up against the American taxpayers."
This epic rant was overshadowed by the poll numbers. Cruz is somewhere in the bottom tier.
Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and head honcho Cruz are not getting much attention now that Donald Trump sucked the crazy from them. These three clowns are a part of a big tent of contenders. So far there's 16 candidates running.
The junk food media is so focused on Trump, the remaining clowns are jealous and they're doing everything in their power to get the cameras back on them.
Why not? They never gonna believe anything he tells them.
The president is now in Ethiopia on his tour of Eastern Africa.
During his trip to Africa, he visited the Republic of Kenya. That's the home of Barack Obama, Sr. the reclusive father of the President Barack Obama.
The president didn't get many opportunities to see his father, but he loved him and his large family.
See the birther crowd (ah hem, Donald Trump) have often accused the president of being born in Kenya instead of Hawaii.
The racist right often have bait the stick with this nonsense of the president's birthplace. Some believe the birthers have racial extremism in their views.
The birth certificate issue is still an ongoing thing. Although, the birther crowd is not as active as it was during the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, Republicans have often thrown the notion that Barack Obama isn't one of us.
Republicans are seething once again about the president taking vacations on the taxpayer dime.
Of course, since he doesn't give two fucks about their complaints, he decided to poke a little fun at their ongoing obsessions.
The live birth certificate. To this day, some kookspiracy theorists believe that President Barack Obama forged this.
He joked about the birth certificate.
"I suspect that some of my critics back home are suggesting that I'm back here to look for my birth certificate. That is not the case."
The president trip to Kenya marks a first. No president ever visited the East African nation. Barack Obama has made it possible. He visit his step-grandmother Sarah Obama, his sister Auma and their families.
The trip was heavily detailed. Due to the threats made by al-Qaeda's sub group al-Shabaab and Boko Haram, the U.S. Secret Service shuts it down hard. The president entourage was bigger than normal.
Obama's visit was to encourage investment in America. the fight against terrorism, and LGBT rights.
He also aimed at President Uhuru Kenyatta for allegations of corruption and his stance on gay rights.
The president heads to Ethiopia to met President Mulatu Teshome.
The president will be heading back to the United States on Tuesday night.
The 22-year old celebrity agitator and daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown has passed away in hospice says the family.
Bobbi Kristina is the only daughter of Whitney Houston during her marriage to Bobby Brown was the sole heir of Houston's estate. Brown has six other children besides Bobbi Kristina.
In January, Georgia police found her in her suburban Atlanta home unconscious in her bathroom.
Her live-in boyfriend Nick Gordon and his friend called 911 to report that she was not breathing.
She was rushed to the hospital where they've tried to revive her. They ran out of options.
The family acknowledged that she is brain dead and the hope of a recovery was dimmed.
Now that the news broke about her passing, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is launching a criminal probe into how she passed away.
Gordon denies any involvement in her death. But the fingers are pointing at him.
In February 2012, Whitney Elizabeth Houston was found unresponsive in hotel bathroom, hours after performing at a nearby event. She was supposed to be a headliner for the Grammy's.
Her death shocked the nation. We all knew that she had struggled for years with bipolar disorder, cocaine addiction and depression. She would often deny it but the actions spoke for itself.
Now I feared that Krissy got into the habits. Losing her mother sent her into a downward spiral.
I mean I could fathom losing my mother in such a fashion. It probably sent her over the edge.
