Melissa Gilbert Vows To Beat An Insurgent Lawmaker!

Melissa Gilbert considering a bid for Congress.

Another entertainer is testing the waters. Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) are successful entertainers who became Washington lawmakers. Who knows? Could it happen again?

Actress Melissa Gilbert has announced that she will run for U.S. Congress as a Democrat against insurgent Rep. Mike Bishop (R-MI).

Gilbert is formerly a child actress who appeared on the hit drama Little House on The Pierre. 

Gilbert wants to help the middle class and become a champion for women's rights. 

"I’m running for Congress to make life a little easier for all the families who feel they have fallen through the cracks in today’s economy," she wrote on her campaign website. "I believe building a new economy is a team effort, and we need to bring fresh voices to the table to get the job done."

Gilbert, 51, who is "particularly attuned to issues confronting women, children and families," according to a press release from the Democratic Party, will be running against against the incumbent, Republican Mike Bishop. The actress lives in Livingston County with her husband of two years, actor and Michigan native Timothy Busfield.

Like with Donald Trump, many entertainers are frustrated with the lawmakers in Washington.

The grassroots motivation by the Tea Party (referred as the insurgency) and Black Lives Matter (referred as the New Black Power Movement) have clashed often times. Many established lawmakers can't control this. 

It's likely due to President Barack Obama's grassroots motivation. Obama was once a community organizer who made campaigning interesting. He managed to supercharge his bid by connecting through social media. Republicans sought the same formula that helped them win Congress in 2014. 

The Republicans have done grassroots organization in 2014 to send nine senate Democrats home. 

Rep. Mike Bishop (R-MI) welcomes a challenge.

Since 2015, Republicans have struggled to find the message. The conservatives pressure for stronger pushback. The moderates and independents pressure for compromise and slow walkback. 

The Democrats have no strong message either. They are still reeling from their defeat. Their defeat has made it clear. No matter what they tell the public, it's not enough.

President Barack Obama's job approval is stalled at 48%. It's not helpful to the Democrats who fear losing three more competitive Senate seats.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and retiring Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid's (D-NV) seat are going to be the most vulnerable.

Democrats are struggling. Would Gilbert's run prove to be another disaster in the making?

Bishop is a freshman lawmaker who replaced Mike Rogers. Rogers is now a conservative agitator on AM radio. Bishop was the former State Majority Leader from 2002 to 2010.

The 8th Congressional District is R+2 which is considered a politically lean Republican district. It's going to possibly be a competitive district if the Democrats mount a strong offense.

Bishop will mount a strong defense. Obviously he is going to label her a "Hollywood Elitist Liberal" and the like. He'll have a friend with him willing to do his dirty work.

Any thoughts on the matter? 

Terrorist Massacred His Family In Houston!

The jealous lover massacres entire family. This terrorist David Conley murdered his ex-girlfriend and the whole family. He is being held in Texas lockup on a capital belt. He will face the gas chamber if found guilty.

We don't often talk about mass shootings that occur in the events of domestic violence. Just another day at the office. Congress will not react to this. Just like the shootings in Ferguson, Lafayette, Chattanooga, Charleston, Baltimore, Chicago, and Nashville, it reminds us that mass shootings are daily routine in the United States.

Gun control will never come up. The mass shootings in Newtown, Aurora, Boston, Tucson, and even in Washington, DC have not moved the Congress to passing a background check law.

Valerie Jackson.

Amy Schumer, famed comedian was touched by the Lafayette shooting. That event happened when a terrorist who held extremist views went into that movie theater. That extremist murdered two and injured nearly a dozen of people before he put a slug to his head.

She called for stricter background checks. It was largely ignored by the media.

This act in Houston, Texas is an act of terrorism. No matter how you put it, this suspect was likely to carry out this attack. Some may say he was a "nice guy" and "depressed". Whatever. He could have just moved on. But sometimes, you can't and that's why these events happen.

The victims were spread out in all bedrooms, shot to death, some multiple times, authorities said.

The victims' ages ranged from 6 to 50 and included a woman, her husband and six children, according to Cannon.

Dwayne Jackson.

They are Valerie Jackson, 40, and Dwayne Jackson, 50. The children are Nathaniel, 13; Honesty, 11; Dwayne, 10; Caleb, 9; Trinity, 7; and Jonah, 6.

World News Today will make sure that these issues get covered. We send our condolences to those lost in this senseless tragedy.

Okay, a mass shooting happened. A man broke into his ex-girlfriend's home and massacres everyone from toddler to adult. He got caught and will face the music.

This man is facing a capital belt. He will likely face the gas house in this case.

Once again the mentally insane and firearms comes to mind. The man held the law at bay for hours before he would finally exit peacefully.

What had happen was the family was warned that he would threaten to kill them. They decide to change the locks. One night he tries to come over to find out the door was locked. He snapped.

So he would break a window and enter through the home. Of course he was strapped and he immediately started to put slugs in each family member's head.

With a welfare check due, the law heads to the home. They noticed that something wasn't right. They saw a dead body of a child on the floor. They would break down the door. The suspect now identified as 48 year old David Conley. He tried gave the law a lead sandwich. They retreat and call for backup.

This madman killed his ex-girlfriend and her entire family.

The swat came to the home and waited for a move. They plead to the suspect to give his ass up. He finally realized he ain't got nothing to lose. So he was apprehended peacefully.

This terrorist's motive appears to be related to the mother of the children, who had a past relationship with him, Harris County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Tim Cannon said.

"Once again, a senseless tragedy has struck our community," Cannon said. "Our hearts go out to the family and friends of those lost."

He is held in the lockup without bail.

Michigan Lawmakers Hide Affair By Running Self-Inflicted Smear Campaign!

Michigan lawmakers knew that they were really close. They didn't think it involved a sexual tryst. The state investigators and the feds are looking into a political corruption scandal involving two state lawmakers who admit trying to run smear campaign.

I don't give two fucks about a person's personal business. I mean I am really stupid for even botehring doing this. You can't deny human nature. In the so-called political correctness crowd, there's no exception to the rules. When you sponsor policies or bills that oppress one group, you leave yourself out there for criticism. If you get caught up in situation, you get trolled by the opposition. I mean it's hard to determine who managed to put the business out there.

Two lawmakers are facing pressure from the Michigan state Republicans to exit stage left. The two were recently caught up in an affair. One tried to make it look like a plot by political operatives.

Unfortunately, one of the staffers didn't want to put himself in a situation where he would have to face federal time out. So he now leaks the conversation to the junk food media and trouble ensues.

These so called insurgents were big time players in their opposition of equal marriage.

Michigan State Rep. Todd Courser (R) was caught on tape attempting to get an aide to assist him in creating an anonymous email smearing himself with a rumor of a hook-up with a gay prostitute behind a nightclub prior to word getting out that he was having an affair with fellow lawmaker Rep. Cindy Gamrat (R).

Courser is a married father of four. Gamrat is a married mother of three. They admit that an affair occurred but they both deny they've done anything wrong and won't resign.

But you know pressure comes when your Republican brethren, the local junk food media and national agitators get into the business of shaming hypocrites.

The long and rambling recording blames his former staffers, Ben Graham, Josh Cline and Keith Allard, for colluding with the Lansing "mafia" establishment to bring him down. And it didn't work, he said, because he's decided to stay in office to expose the "political shenanigans" that are happening in Lansing.

"The e-mail was put in motion to disrupt the blackmailer and give me some clues as to the surveillance of my life. It was all done in a pressure cooker and … it put me in a situation where a bad choice was the choice that I made," he said, noting the alleged blackmailer's intent was to get him to resign.

The sex scandal rumors that have been swirling around Lansing for months involve Courser's attempts to cover up an extra-marital affair with Gamrat. He said he sent the anonymous e-mail on May 20 to people around Lansing that claimed he was a sexual deviant as a means to expose the blackmailer.

Shooting In Ferguson!

One year later, still tension. Michael Brown's death sparked the call for police reform.

The anniversary of Michael Brown's death led to another moment of unrest in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri. The St. Louis County and Ferguson Police had to use force against a person who may have aimed his firearm at them.

One year ago, Michael Brown was shot by Darren Wilson. Michael was unarmed.

The junk food media went crazy after his death. His death became a trending topic and it sparked a few night of unrest in Ferguson. It opened up ugly wounds between residents and the community.

Many residents believe that police were using excessive tactics against Blacks. Michael's death became the final straw. 

Agitators had called into question Wilson's account of the events. Backed by the Department of Justice, Michael apparently ran up on Wilson.

Michael Brown, Sr. and supporters marching in unison.

Wilson had to use deadly force. Even though Wilson had no body camera, no dash camera and witness said otherwise, the Justice Department's report stands by Wilson. However, the report did slam the department for using racial profiling, excessive force, unfair citations and lack of diversity in hiring residents of a community that is majority-minority.

Wilson is now in hiding. He's a married man with children. 

Michael's family still reeling from the death are demanding for police reform and more accountability. They believe Wilson lied about the encounter.

I agree. Wilson had so many inconsistent points, I still question it. 

As the family and hundreds gather to the location where Michael was killed. They protested peacefully until the dark.

St. Louis County Police were dispatched to stop rioting.

And all of sudden, there were sounds of gunfire. The police in riot gear started to rush the protesters out of the area by throwing tear gas. An officer saw the alleged shooter and put lead in him.

Now the alleged shooter is fighting for life and the protesters are angry again. Plain clothes officers were there to spot possible instigators. The public is criticizing that plain clothes were there to stir up controversy.

The law reports that there were allegedly six active shooters. 

Now of course, the racist right and conservative agitators will say with glee that "the gentle giant" and his homies would tear up the town.

When will it stop?

 Again World News Today send our condolences to the family of Michael Brown. We also send our condolences to Christian Taylor.

Two Trump Cards Blast Megyn Kelly!

Trump blames Chief Roger for the set up question. He vows to not quit.

It was all good until that question came out....

Now the Donald has fired campaign advisor Roger Stone and is making a play for GOP Sundays to defend his statements about a certain conservative agitator who supposed to be a straight shooter.

Some conservatives go to the defense of Donald Trump. The conservative Craigslist is running the now viral video of two Black women go all bitch on Megyn The Outrage Princess.

Donald Trump is facing heat for comments about sexism. These two women went right into the controversial debate. The network that probably gonna call these two Black women "pinheads" ran with this set up question.

Of course this question goes back to the former host of the Apprentice saying some nasty words about Rosie O'Donnell back a decade ago. O'Donnell who joined The View in 2006 to 2007 and briefly returned in 2014 to 2015 was in a feud with Trump.

O'Donnell mocked the business mogul on his reaction to give a contender for Miss America a second chance after embarrassing herself in the junk food media. O'Donnell blasted him hard. Trump hit her harder and this feud has been on since.

WOMEN WARN MEGYN: BACK OFF TRUMP!

Republicans are feuding with one another over the Trump effect. The controversial business and media mogul is leading in the polls. Many of the agitators have said that "he's done" but the polls say otherwise.

To make this clear, the conservatives are fighting with one another. 

Donald Trump is tapping into this anger and is using it to his advantage.

On that note, here's a few other goodies that the conservative Craigslist left for the racist right to click on. I mean without "race stories" how would Matt Drudge stay relevant?

Your thoughts on the matter?

Clearly, Trump is a front runner and it's causing a huge concern for both Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans are more concerned that they could face a thumping if they force Trump into a spoiler bid. I mean it's hard to determine how this controversy helped or hurt Trump. But since he's the "it" candidate in the clown car, many Republicans are fearing that his impact will destroy their chances.

Matter of fact, you heard from Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina. They had an opinion on the matter.

Trump responded back and hit them hard. When responding to Jake Tapper, Trump said.

"Carly Fiorina.  OK, give me a break.  She's got - she's got zero chance," he said.

Jake Tapper asked why did he believe so many conservative commentators are saying that they don't believe your explanation?

Trump fired back. "Because they want to be politically correct. They want to get points.

I'm leading in the polls by a fortune.  They wouldn't - by a tremendous margin. 

They wouldn't have had - do you think they would have had 24 million people watching that show if I wasn't on?  If I wasn't on that show, Jake, in all fairness - and I say it in all due modesty - you would have had two million people, not 24 million people.  And you can ask any expert about it.  But 24 million people was not there to watch Carly Fiorina or Jeb Bush, that - or Lindsey Graham, who, by the way, has zero in the polls.  I mean, he's been my biggest critic, and he has zero in the poll and, by the way, came to me asking for campaign contributions and everything else.  People don't say that.  Perry of Texas, he started attacking me quite viciously, and he went down in the polls,"

Ben Carson: Useful Idiots Would Normally Vote For Liberal Ideas!

Carson is placed either third or fourth in national polls. He does a victory lap on GOP Sundays to talk about Donald' Trump's feud with the network that thinks radical Islam is more dangerous than heroin addiction.

Ben Carson, former neurosurgeon and clown running for the Republican nomination appears on GOP Sundays to talk about his performance. He was also brought into the Trump controversy with Megyn The Outrage Princess.

GOP Sundays managed to score interviews with Donald Trump. He was on the programs except the network that think Black pool goers are doing a little dance around a McKinney, Texas cop. Trump was pissed at the Smirking Chimp Chris Wallace and Megyn after he put them in the place with those set up questions.

On GOP Sundays John Dickerson asked his thoughts on the matter between Trump being banned from the RedState Gathering to how Republicans are towards women.

"I think that may be a difference between political correctness and, you know, courteous speech.

What bothers me is when people say, you know, 'You can't say this word, you can't say this phrase, you can't event think that, you, can't express this,' And it's very difficult for people to have an honest conversation if they can't express themselves. But in no way do I advocate, you know, saying mean things about people. That has nothing to do with political correctness."

Quite funny hearing that from someone who called people who support Hillary Clinton for president a bunch of "useful idiots". 

Isn't that kind of mean, Dr. Carson?

"If Hillary is the candidate, which I doubt, that would be a dream come true. But you know, the fact of the matter is, she is the epitome of the progressive -- the secular progressive movement. And she counts on the fact that people are uninformed, the Alinsky Model, taking advantage of useful idiots.

Well, I just happen to believe that people are not stupid. And the way I will come at it is to educate people, help people to actually understand that it is that progressive movement that is causing them the problems.

You know, you look at the -- the national debt and how it's being driven up. If I was trying to destroy this country, what I would do is find a way to drive wedges between all the people, drive the debt to an unsustainable level, and then step off the stage as a world leader and let our enemies increase while we decreased our capacity as a military person. And that's what she's doing."

Carson's sure enough can dish it out! He insults Hillary and her supporters. But when it comes to Trump insulting Megyn and that network that once paid him as a contributor, he doesn't think it was nice and respectful.

The Republicans love to call people names and such. So does the Democrats. But seriously, the problem lies where the party stands. 

Trump has widen the gap between Republicans. They don't know how to control this. They love it when he dogs on President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Rosie O'Donnell. But they turn chicken when he aims at John McCain and Megyn. 

See Donald Trump was well aware of what to expect from the establishment. I haven't check the polls but it seems like he's still holding a solid lead against Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. 

I might also question to why this was timed. Rosie O'Donnell agitated a war with Trump over her views of the Miss USA and Miss Universe contestants behavior outside of the crown. She also blasted Trump for being a "snake oil salesperson". That became a nearly decade long feud in which they have publicly blasted each other on television and radio. I heard that that MSNBC fired Meghan McCain out the cannon. McCain now joins the network that hired Elisabeth Hasselbeck but fired the cannon on the ex-Alaskan governor. 

The main debate and second tier debate were a total mess. I mean it was something out of a reality show. None of them presented a decent policy nor a counter balance to what President Barack Obama offered. All I heard was probably 2,500 mentions of Hillary Clinton and 1,800 mentions of Obama. I am of course probably exaggerating how many mentions but clearly this what the first debate dealt with. How bad was one and how bad could be the next!

Carson is ranked in either third or fourth place is he is bragging about his performance at the debates.

Before I go, I just learned that NFL legend and sport announcer Frank Gifford has passed away. He is the husband of NBC News daytime agitator Kathie Lee Gifford. He died at age 84, a few days shy of his and Kathie Lee's birthdays. World News Today send our condolences to the Gifford family.

Bernie Sanders: I Sympathize With Black Lives Matters!

Bernie got mic checked by Black Lives Matter activists.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is running in the clown car for the Democratic nomination. He is the only candidate so far to be at least in competition with front runner, perennial candidate Hillary Clinton.

The Democratic contender is making rounds in the Pacific Northwest. His stop in a friendly territory was interrupted by two activists with the Black Lives Matters movement.

Again the activists crash his campaign stop with chants of  "You're not listening" and "You got to learn why Black Lives Matter".

Sanders pulls over 15,000 supporters to his event in Seattle. His supporters were very happy to see him. Two supporters were happy to see him as well. Those two supporters were so happy they jump the stage and stole the show. And it managed to capture the attention of the junk food media.

"If you do not listen to us, your event will be shut down," says the activists now identified Mara Willaford and Marissa Johnson.

She decried that even though Seattle is progressive, it still anchors White supremacist views masquerading as liberalism.

"I was going to tell Bernie how racist [Seattle] is, filled with its progressives, but did it for me", says Willaford. She was concerned about the law's brutal practices on citizens. The U.S. Justice Department is currently looking into the Seattle police.

So after the activists asked the protesters to give a few minutes of silence for slain Michael Brown and Christian Taylor, some booed it.

Sanders decided to wrap it up. He figured that he couldn't get much out knowing that the activists were determined to "shut it down".

"I think it is unfortunate because among other things I wanted to talk about the issues of black lives," Sanders said following the interrupted rally.

"They didn't want to hear anything," the senator told CNN's Dan Merica. Sanders went on to express his disappointment of not being able to speak at an event he was invited to.

Here's the videos of the confrontation. Sanders was talking about the Black Lives Matter issue back in June. He was extremely focused on that during his campaign stop.







Sanders will head to Portland today and then for California. He will head to Lynchburg to speak at the ultra conservative Liberty University this week.

Sanders would greet his supporters and tell the junk food media, that he sympathizes with them. They have a right to address their issues.

Last month, Black Lives Matter activists crashed the Netroots Convention. Sanders and Martin O'Malley were interrupted by the activists in Phoenix.

Sanders and Clinton get a fraction of coverage. Unfortunately, Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiornia, John Kasich, Ben Carson, Scott Walker Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Chris Christie get most of the airtime. The junk food media is so invested in the Republican clown car.

The rest of them Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb are not even getting an ounce of junk food media attention. Even the biggest gathering of progressive activists at Netroots gets no media coverage. When the conservatives gathered for CPAC, the junk food media went right to it and gave it wall to wall coverage.

By the way, the Black Lives Matters activists proved a point. The reaction on social media to them crashing Bernie Sanders's political event was met with harsh criticism. White liberals concern trolls say that Black Lives Matter is "played out".

I don't know. Should we inform the folks over at the Tumblr blog Racist Get Fired?

Mickey Guyton Is Becoming A Big Name In Country Music!

When you hear Better Than You Left Me, you think who is the singer of this beautiful country song?

Well, there's a young Black woman named Mickey Guyton, and her star is rising.

Mickey Guyton (born Candace Mycale Guyton) started her signing career in the church. In her younger days, she wanted to be a gospel singer. But something got her attention. The sounds of country drew her in.

Mickey grew up listening to a variety of artists, including Dolly Parton, LeAnn Rimes, Whitney Houston and gospel innovators BeBe and CeCe Winans. “Those were huge influences,” she says, recalling a particularly pivotal moment. “I was at a Texas Rangers baseball game and LeAnn Rimes was singing the National Anthem. This was right when she came out with ‘Blue’. I was completely mesmerized.”

She would embrace country music and found her heart.

Mickey got a deal with Capitol Records Nashville. It got her the exposure.

She got an opportunity to perform at the White House in 2011 with James Taylor, Dierks Bentley, Kris Kristofferson, The Band Perry, Darius Rucker and Lyle Lovett.

Mickey has been the opening act for Eric Church, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton and many others.

What was remarkable about her is that lovely voice. Her voice hypnotizes me. I got an opportunity to listen to her hit single. I am very impressed with her song. I am a fan.

She is one of the very few Black country music singers. Matter of fact, she is one of the few women of color to embrace a musical genre that usually targets White people.

Gayle King of CBS This Morning had an opportunity to interview her.

World News Today wishes Mickey well on her journey.

Christian Taylor's Death By The Law Sparks Outrage!

Christian Taylor's death by the law sparks outrage. By the way, he flashing a peace sign. Not a gang sign trolls!

Arlington, Texas rookie officer is in the freezer after he put four into an unarmed man. This is another event where the law uses deadly force and it's attracted the attention of the junk food media.

Christian Taylor was a 19 year old man who crashed his car through a car dealership. He was acting erratically when the law showed up.

According to the law, they answered a burglary call. The arrive to see Christian acting like he was on something. The officer report says that he charged at the officers, and struggled for the firearm. Then of course, the officer used deadly force.

The rookie, Brad Miller claimed that he used deadly force because it was "no choice". He was hired to the force in September and was being on training duty when this occurred. So Miller had no experience.

But a surveillance shows a different story. Matter of fact, there were some surveillance shows that the officer did something that some considered a reckless call. We also have a YouTube user who posted that in the audio you can hear in less than 1.3 seconds, you hear Miller put the slugs in him.

The surveillance on the property shows every thing except the moment Christian was shot.



He was a student at Angelo State University. He was a member of the football team. He had minor run-ins but nothing that considered him a danger to the lives of the officers.

The chief of Arlington Police Will Johnson said that the FBI will interview the officers and determine whether the call made by Miller is considered criminal.

The racist right will automatically defend the law. They will say that based on actions (i.e. being on drugs, criminal past, traffic convictions, etc.) the unarmed suspect deserved to die.



But in his last social media posts, he had posted this. It's been retweeted over 15,000 times.

I don't wanna die too younggggg

Naive individual glorifying greed and encouraging racism... That's what we start off as.

— October 13th (@he_got_sneaks) August 6, 2015

Christian was well liked on the campus. His friends and family described him as a "jokester",

He had graduated from Mansfield Summit high school. He only had one item on his record, which was six months deferred adjudication for possession of hydrocodone, according to The Dallas Morning News. The charge, a misdemeanor, was dismissed when he finished his probation.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Taylor Christian. Me and S. Baldwin will continue to follow the developments in this controversy.

DeRay McKesson said that he doesn't want to show up to these events. But as long as this stuff continues, he has a purpose. And I strongly believe that he is making an impact on the social media. Matter of fact, he and Bree Newsome are becoming civil rights icons.

Today marks one year since the Michael Brown death.

Ludacris Joins The Empire!

Ludacris returns to acting.

Reuniting with Terrence Howard and Taraji P Henson, Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges will appear on the Fox hit series Empire.

The Disturbing Tha Peace entertainer is about to part ways with his longtime label Def Jam after they failed in promoting Ludaversal. In the meantime, Luda's got to pay for them bills. He's a married man. A father of two with one on the way. Got to make the money somewhere!

Ludacris will return to acting to at least build his career. He's closing in on the 4-O and he's got to stay relevant once he puts the down the mic.

Right now, he'll be a guest star on the Lee Daniels hip-hop drama.

Luda guest stars on Empire.

Howard plays ruthless business mogul Lucious Lyon. He's dealing with his three sons who struggle for a piece of Empire Records and ex-wife Cookie (played Henson) who wants the stakes in her favor.

Howard finished the now canceled Fox series Wayward Pines.

Ludaris, Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson were featured in Hustle & Flow, a critically acclaim movie that featured the Oscar award winning song, "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp".
