Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins Passed Away!

The famed Chocolate Thunder, Darryl Dawkins passed away.

The legend of Chocolate Thunder. The famed dunking center would often break the glass when he done them dunks. He earned the name from R&B legend Stevie Wonder.

The name stuck, and the rim-wrecking, glass-shattering dunks remain unforgettable — as will the giant of a man who changed the game with them. Darryl Dawkins died Thursday at a hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania, according to the Lehigh County coroner's office. He was 58, and even though officials said an autopsy would be performed on Friday his family released a statement saying the cause of death was a heart attack.

"Darryl touched the hearts and spirits of so many with his big smile and personality, ferocious dunks, but more than anything, his huge, loving heart," his family said. "His family, wife Janice, children Dara, Tabitha, Nicholas and Alexis, along with countless family, friends, and fans, all mourn his loss.

"More than anything Darryl accomplished in his basketball career as the inimitable 'Chocolate Thunder,' he was most proud of his role and responsibility as a husband and father," his family added.

Dawkins, the first player to go from high school into the first round of the NBA draft, spent parts of 14 seasons in the NBA with Philadelphia, New Jersey, Utah and Detroit. He averaged 12 points and 6.1 rebounds in 726 career regular-season games.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Dawkins was "beloved around the league."
He was a beloved player said NBA commissioner Adam Silver.
"The NBA family is heartbroken by the sudden and tragic passing of Darryl Dawkins," Silver said. "We will always remember Darryl for his incredible talent, his infectious enthusiasm and his boundless generosity. He played the game with passion, integrity and joy, never forgetting how great an influence he had on his legions of fans, young and old."

Dawkins was, by any measure, a character. His love for the game was unquestioned and unwavering — he appeared at an 76ers alumni event earlier this month and recently posted a photo to his Twitter account of him coaching a summer-league girls team.

Dawkins was as revered off the court as he was on it. He remained enormously popular after his playing days were done, even during his stint as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. He would name his dunks — the "look out below," the "yo-mama" and the "rim wrecker" among them — and often boasted that he hailed from the "Planet Lovetron."

In actuality, he was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, growing up impoverished with dreams of giving his mother and grandmother better lives.

"A great man, entertainer, athlete and ferocious dunker," former NBA guard Kevin Johnson wrote on Twitter. "He will be missed but not forgotten."

Injuries plagued Dawkins late in his NBA career, and he went overseas for several more years to play in the Italian league. He also briefly had stints in the Continental Basketball Association and the International Basketball Association. He also coached at times, at both the minor-league and junior-college levels.

He averaged double digits in nine consecutive NBA seasons, with his best year likely being the 1983-84 campaign for New Jersey. He averaged a career-best 16.8 points that year, with only foul trouble — 386 that season, still a league record — holding him back.

"Darryl Dawkins is the father of power dunking," Shaquille O'Neal once said. "I'm just one of his sons."

Many across the country expressed their thoughts to a great legend. World News Today send our condolences to the family of Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins.

Amelia Boynton Robinson Passed Away!

Amelia Boynton Robinson passed away.

With great sadness we've heard that Amelia Boynton Robinson passed away at the age of 104.

Amelia fought for Civil Rights during the turbulent times of the 1960s. She was a key figure of the Selma to Montgomery march. She and John Lewis suffered a beat down by the White bigots who tried to silence their peaceful march.

Amelia Boynton Robinson was an American activist who was a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement.

Amelia was among those beaten during the voting rights march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, in March 1965 that became known as "Bloody Sunday." State troopers teargased and clubbed the marchers as they tried to cross the bridge. A newspaper photo showing Boynton Robinson, who had been beaten unconscious, drew wide attention to the movement.

Fifty years later, Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States, pushed her across the span in a wheelchair during a commemoration.

Amelia who was hospitalized in July after having a major stroke, turned 104 on Aug. 18. Her son said she had been living in Tuskegee and was hospitalized in Montgomery. Boynton Robinson's family said in a written statement that she was surrounded by relatives and friends when she died around 2:20 a.m.
Selma this year. President Barack Obama holds hands with Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Amelia Boynton Robinson.
In January, Boynton Robinson attended the State of the Union address as a special guest of Democratic Alabama Rep. Terri Sewell, who said Boynton's 1964 run for Congress paved the way for her. Sewell is Alabama's first elected black congresswoman. Boynton was the first woman to run on a Democratic ticket in Alabama and the first black woman to run for Congress in the state, according to the Encyclopedia of Alabama.

"Mrs. Boynton Robinson suffered grave injustices on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma at the hands of state troopers on Bloody Sunday, yet she refused to be intimidated," Sewell said in January. "She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, my colleague Rep. John Lewis and thousands of others from Selma to Montgomery and ultimately witnessed the day when their work led to the passage of the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965."

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Amelia Boynton Robinson. You are a hero to the movement for change. You fought for me to be here.

Blame Game: Alison Parker Murder!

Murder of news reporter sparks the blame game.

WHO WILL TAKE THE BLAME FOR THE DEATH OF TWO NEWS REPORTERS?

A) BARACK OBAMA
B) BLACK LIVES MATTER
C) NRA
D) CONGRESS
E) THE SHOOTER
F) ALL OF THESE ABOVE

Okay if you're picking E as the answer, then you're right. But if you're pointing the blame at the other entities, then you've proven my point. You would find blame with entities that have nothing to do with the situation.

Some are quick to point fingers at other entities instead of the shooter. The fault lies solely on the shooter. Not the president, not protesters, not a gun lobbyist group, not lawmakers.

They have a role to do something about it. But it won't bring back the millions of victims killed by gun violence.

The racist right is so quick to blame Black Lives Matter by using the All Lives Matter hashtag.

For the very fact that this issue now became a partisan event is truly frustrating. The BLM protesters are pissed that the junk food media and conservative agitators are using this event to undermine their concerns.

The point of Black Lives Matter ahem is the need to have better policing, open up about criminal activities and denouncing the media's tactics on smearing unarmed suspects and innocent victims of gun violence by the hands of the law.

The WDBJ 7 family and the nation is mourning the loss of anchor Alison Parker and her cameraman Adam Ward. The terrorist Vester Flanagan (Bryce Williams) shot Alison, Adam and Vicki Gardner at point blank range. He managed to escape authorities for a moment. But when cornered he put the bullet to his head.

ABC News got a manifesto from the terrorist. He admits that he had anger issues. He blames WDBJ for his firing. He said that he's a gay Black man who was harassed by staffers and the victims.
The terrorist was angry about being fired. He claims that he was a target of gay insults and racism. 
He said that he was motivated by the Virginia Tech mass killer, Seung Hui Cho, calls him “his boy,” and expresses admiration for the Columbine High School killers. “Also, I was influenced by Seung–Hui Cho. That’s my boy right there. He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harris and Dylann Klebold got…just sayin.'"

In an often rambling letter to the authorities, and family and friends, he writes of a long list of grievances. In one part of the document, Williams calls it a “Suicide Note for Friends and Family."

He says has suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work.

He says he has been attacked by black men and white females.

He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man.

“Yes, it will sound like I am angry...I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace....”

“The church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily...I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!”

He said that he gotten racial insults. He was inspired by mass shooters. He felt that if he could do more damage, he would be recognized.

The junk food media can confirm that he's dead.

Here's one of Alison's pictures from social media.




This event was captured on live television. Many viewers happen to see the reaction and the blood curling screams of Alison after this terror began firing upon her.

Now I said this many times. Every day there is a gun crime in America.

2,000 people are shot by firearms a day. 44 people died by firearms a day.

This event won't get Congress to push for tougher gun restrictions. I am a gun owner and I surely want gun control, police reform and accountability towards illegal gun purchases.

Let's take a look at the social media. DeRay McKesson, the activist for the Black Lives Matter movement immediately took to social media to send his condolences.




Then of course, Rev. Perm responds to social media and his radio program.




Then let's look at the Gateway Pundit (aka dumbass Jim Hoft). He is already using this to push his anti-Black agenda.




Then let's look at few of the BLM reactions to the death of Alison and Adam.












The rational continue to let the world know about gun violence in the United States.




Then of course, conservatives blame Obama, Black Lives Matter or concern troll about fetuses and Black on whatever crime.


















What makes me think that our country is doomed is the fact that no one seems to understand that blame should automatically go to the shooter.

The shooter was upset over being fired from a job. He had mental issues. He had legal access to firearms. He wanted to get revenge on people who he claimed hurt his chances at success.

He created his own faults. That is not the responsibility of the president, the activists, the conservative and liberal agitators or the media. He could have gotten help. He could have an opportunity to work for other venues if he would have tried. But he just felt that he got the short end of the stick. He snapped.

The nice guy is the most dangerous person with a gun. They don't care who they kill. If they were spurned, expect revenge to be served.

To all of those who blame Obama, Black Lives Matter or whatever, that's your opinion. It hasn't stopped the movement. It hasn't stopped the president from pushing gun control. Matter of fact, your responses may have created more supporters.

Again World News Today send our condolences to Alison Parker and Adam Ward. We also send our condolences to Marcy Borders, Jamyla Bolden, and Mansur Ball-Bey.

Marcy Borders Passed Away!

The iconic photo of the dusty lady. Marcy Borders didn't know she was filmed. It was confirmed by her family that Marcy died of cancer.

The iconic picture of a Black woman covered head to toe with dust from the horrific tragedy on September 11, 2001 passed away from stomach cancer.

Marcy Borders who became a groundbreaking image of the horrors of that day.

She was on her way to her job at the World Trade Center when reports of an explosion at the North Tower. Like most people at the WTC, not many people were aware of the event. Some didn't expect it to happen that fast. The second plane would crash into the South Tower.

Marcy was working at the tower.

She managed to escape the horror.
Marcy tried to overcome the fear. 
Marcy was a 28-year-old Bank of America worker when the photograph of her staring into the lens with her eyes asquint and her mouth agape was taken. Marcy, who came to be known around the world as “dust lady”, died on Monday at the age of 42 after a year-long battle with stomach cancer that she blamed on dust inhaled during the attack.

“I can’t believe my sister is gone,” Michael Borders wrote of his sibling on Facebook. Borders’ cousin John Borde added that she was a “hero” and she “unfortunately succumbed to the diseases that have ridden her body since 9/11”.

“In addition to losing so many friends, coworkers, and colleagues on and after that tragic day ... the pain from yesteryear has found a way to resurface,” he said.

Marcy had no idea she had been photographed until her mother called to say she had seen the picture. The image remained an emblem of the problems that continued to trouble her after the attacks.

The Guardian reports that Marcy was struggling since the event. She turned to drugs and had severe paranoia.

She battled severe depression and became addicted to crack cocaine. “I didn’t do a day’s work in nearly 10 years, and by 2011 I was a complete mess,” she said. “I was convinced Osama bin Laden was planning more attacks. Every time I saw an aircraft, I panicked. If I saw a man on a building, I was convinced he was going to shoot me.”

After losing custody of her two children, Borders checked into rehab in April 2011 and remained sober. She announced that she’d been diagnosed with stomach cancer and had undergone chemotherapy last summer. She was scheduled to undergo further surgery, radiation and chemotherapy in December.

Her daughter, Noelle, told the New York Post her mother “fought an amazing battle”.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Marcy Borders.

Woman Who Slammed Black Lives Matter Goes Viral!

(Facebook)
The racist right fawn over a Black woman who rants about Black Lives Matter.

The racist right is in full troll mode.

Peggy Hubbard is the newest toy for the racist right. This woman got some airtime after she posted a rant about Black Lives Matter. The woman would slam the group for ignoring Black-on-whatever crime.

Heavy reports the new found fame Hubburd got on the social media to rant about how the Black Lives Matter activists found outrage for a "thug" instead of an innocent young girl.

Hubbard was a native of Ferguson, Missouri, but now lives in Rockville, Illinois. According to her Facebook page, she’s a Navy veteran who has since retired from working at the IRS. She’s shown on social media to be a motorcycle enthusiast, her photos show her at events featuring bikers and the confederate flag.
Jamyla Bolden was gunned down by a stray bullet in Ferguson.
She was upset over the killing of Jamyla Bolden, a 9-year old girl who was killed in Ferguson. The junk food media claims that she was a victim of the bullet with no eyes. A drive-by in her neighborhood. The bullet flew through her home and striking her while she was doing her homework.

Many residents came out to show solidarity and outrage to the death of the innocent young girl.

What inspired Hubbard to post a video?

She claimed that Black Lives Matter was more interested in the shooting of an alleged suspect Mansur Ball-Bey. The protest came after allegations of the law shooting that man in the back after he was fired at them.

Ferguson and St. Louis Police are under federal investigation for allegations of police brutality.

The residents have long complained about the law roughing them up for years. Some have turned their back on the law when it comes to aiding them when a crime occurs.
Mansur Ball-Bey was gunned down by the law after they claimed he pointed a firearm at them.
Last night, who do you think they protested for? The thug. The criminal. Because they’re hollering police brutality. Are you fucking kidding me? Police brutality? How about black brutality. You black people, my black people, you are the most violent motherfuckers I have ever seen in my life.

You’re hollering this ‘black lives matter’ bullshit. It don’t matter. You’re killing each other. White people don’t care … You’re shooting at the police. They drop your ass. ‘Oh, he died due to police brutality.’ 327 homicides later y’all want to holler police brutality? Black people, you’re a fucking joke. You’re tearing up communities over thugs and criminals.

Hubbard’s cause has been picked up by several media outlets, notably conservative outpost The Blaze. On the night of August 24, she appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper.

Of course, this gets airplay.



Many in the racist right were cheering this on. Matter of fact, Don Lemon was so eager to have Hubbard on to explain her rant.

Lemon clarified that Black Lives Matter attended the event. He also read some responses from critics and supporters of the rant. She responds back to her critics by using these words, "Bite Me".

Black Lives Matter also responded back to her through social media.





















Here's an example of the racist right supporting Peggy Hubbard
















World News Today send our condolences to the Jamyla Bolden and Mansur Ball-Bey

Any thoughts on the matter?

Ohio Woman Puts Her Own Kids Down!

Mother of the year. Brittany Pilkington is facing a capital case for the death of her three children. The defense claims mental issues and spousal abuse as the reason.

The residents of the city of Bellefontaine, Ohio are shocked. To hear that a woman killed three of her children because according to the junk food media, she was jealous of her husband's close relationship to them, is beyond belief.

This woman is being held on a $1 million get out of jail free card. She is innocent until proven guilty.

Brittany Pilkington, 23, is charged with three counts of capital murder. These charges could land her in the gas house.

Right now, her attorneys are going to try to say that "she flipped". The defense is going to line up the fact that she has mental issues and the intelligence of a pre-teen. I am peeping out the social media and she's kind of loony.

Many in the law have sensed that the danger was there. Logan County Family Services have done routine checks on Pilkington and her kids. She was the mother of four children. When her first child died because of unknown circumstances, the law ordered mandatory checks on the family.

In July 2014, she lost her 3-month-old son, Niall. In April of this year, her 4-year-old son, Gavin, would die. Authorities were still trying to determine the cause of Niall and Gavin’s death at the time of Noah’s passing.
Bellefontaine mom killings
Gavin and Niall died because of smothering.
So it was totally understandable that police would like to have a talk with Brittany. After just a few hours of questions, Brittany admitted she had killed her sons by placing blankets over their faces and suffocating them.

Her motive? According to Brittany, she killed the boys because her husband was giving them more attention than he was their 3-year-old daughter, Hailey.

“In her mind she was protecting her daughter from being not as loved as the boys were by their father,” said Logan County prosecutor William Goslee.

Noah and Hailey had only been back with the couple for a month, having been in the custody of Logan County Children’s Services shortly after the death of Gavin.

“Why would you give them back after a little boy just died and when you’re in the middle of an investigation?” asked Brittany’s uncle. The answer to that is the fact that a coroner had just concluded Gavin’s and Niall’s deaths weren’t suspicious.

Brittany Pilkington was arrested and charged with three counts of murder and is being held in the Logan County jail. Her daughter is back in the custody of Logan County Children’s Services.

According to the Colubus Dispatch, Brittany married her husband in March 2010 when she was 18 and he was 38. Her husband has four spare children from previous marriages who also do not live with him.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Gavin, Noah, and Niall.

Gucci Mane: Never Count GuWop Out!

GuWop ain't tired. Gucci Mane continues to release albums and mixtapes while serving his federal time out. He plans on releasing a movie and two new albums.

Atlanta's own Gucci Mane (Radric Davis) is over in Indiana at the Terre Haute Federal Time Out serving the firearm with disability charge.

The King Of East Atlanta managed to hire a great attorney. On that federal charge he was suppose to get a twenty year lock down. But it turns out that he will get anger management and treatment.

Gucci will serve 3.6 years in federal time out.

He will be out in June 2017.

While he's in the federal time out, he released albums and mixtapes.

Gucci Mane released over 28 studio albums, 45 mixtapes, and three extended play albums. He plans on releasing five more mixtapes, two albums and one movie.

I am guessing on good behavior and being a notable celebrity, Gucci can have some access to the social media with the feds watching of course.

He also went to Linkdin to sign up for career assistance.

The incident in 2013 was a binge moment for Gucci. The Atlanta Police busted Gucci when he was was hanging out with a friend, and was behaving "erratically." This friend then decided to call the police to help him out. When the police arrived, Gucci began cursing and threatening them.

Authorities then took Gucci into custody and upon searching him, they found marijuana and a handgun on him. Gucci was then booked on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, possession of marijuana, and disorderly conduct. He was reportedly hospitalized following the arrest.

Before his transfer to federal time out, he got served up 183 days in jail.

He revealed to the public he's been fighting drug abuse and bipolar disorder. He apologized to his fans about his behavior and manned up.

Granted the misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct were reduced,

I admit I am a fan of Gucci Mane. Here's a list of my favorite Gucci albums.

1) Trap God
2) The Return of Mr. Zone 6
3) The Diary of a Trap God
4) Free Bricks (with Future)
5) Free Bricks II (with Young Scooter)
6) Young Thugga Mane La Flare (with Young Thug)
7) Ferrari Boyz (with Waka Flocka)
8) Breakfast
9) WWIII: Molly
10) Felix Brothers (with PeeWee Longway and Young Dolph)
11) The G.R.E.E.N. Album (with Migos)
12) Money, Pounds & Ammunition (with PeeWee Longway)
13) Big Gucci Sosa (with Chief Keef)
14) Trap God 2
15) East Atlanta Santa
16) Brick Factory Vol. 1
17) Trust God Fuck 12 (with Rich Homie Quan)
18) The W.H.I.T.E. Album (with PeeWee Longway)
19) Trap House
20) Hard to Kill
21)The State vs. Radric Davis
22) Lunch
23) WWIII: Gas
24) The P.U.R.P.L.E. Album (with Young Thug)
25) I'm Up
26) The Return of Mr. Perfect
27) Brick Factory Vol. 2
28) Trap God 3
29) WWIII: Lean
30) Buy My Album

So dedication is what keeps Gucci Mane going. He is an example of entertainers who refuse to stay away. In this rap game, if you catch a federal case, it's a wrap. Gucci wants to prove the critics wrong.

He's devoted to Atlanta's trap music.

Wiz Khalifa Got FED Up At LAX!

Taylor Gang CEO and pro-marijuana advocate Cameron Thomaz (best known as Wiz Khalifa) couldn't fly the friendly skies. He was busted at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) for riding a hoverboard through the lobby.

What kind of bullshit led up to the famed rapper's detainment?

He got restrained by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agency after he was told to get off the hoverboard.

I guess they didn't realize he was an entertainer.

They slammed him face first into the ground and took the hoverboard.

Many figured that the CBP and Los Angeles Port Authority took it a little too far.

The CBP released a statement in regards to the event.

"CBP officers are conducting their critical national security mission while facilitating the entry of legitimate travelers. An uncompliant passenger or any disruptive behavior could put many at risk in this highly secure area. Privacy laws prevent CBP from discussing specific cases."

So Wiz went to social media to let the public know that police brutality exist. It affects him.










So any thoughts on the matter?

Do you believe that this was a form of police brutality on the part of the CBP?

Josh Duggar: I Got Needs!

Josh Duggar confirms he cheated on his wife. Jim Bob hasn't confirmed his cheating yet! The oldest son of the Duggars was named in the Ashley Madison hack. This hack is one of the biggest since the Sony hack.

When Avid Life Media Group got hacked by unknown hacktivists, a massive data dump came. Last week the group that owns Ashley Madison and two other social dating websites was hacked by The Impact Team, a group that stolen personal information about the site's user base, and threatened to release users' names and personally identifying information if Ashley Madison was not immediately shut down. On August 18 and August 20, the group leaked more than 25 gigabytes of company data, including user details.'

Names that popped up included a whole lot of government workers and one washed up reality television star who is an activist for traditional family values.

Josh Duggar already is another example of the wealthy and powerful caught up in sex scandal.

His family suffered a major blow when TLC canceled the 19 Kids and Counting. The show focused on Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. The Duggars had Josh and 18 other children.

A tabloid exposed the Duggars hiding a dark past. Josh was caught sexually abusing his siblings and a babysitter. The law dismissed it and gave him a "there, there" you'll get help talk.

The Duggars kept this quiet until now. It seems like Jessa and Jill were the main victims. They publicly told the junk food media that they forgive Josh and hope the faith will treat him.
Josh Duggar is hoping to save his marriage. He went to cheating website Ashley Madison to seek a freaky girl. His wife Anna could of have been a little freaky. He should have asked her!
It seems like Josh was not treated for his sexual lust. He was named in the Ashley Madison hack.

So he quickly released a statement saying that he's only human. He wants to make amends to his wife Anna and get treatment.

 "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the Internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife" ... "the last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country I was hiding my own personal failures."

Right?

Josh and Anna have four children together. No telling how many women or men Josh slept with.

Hopefully he doesn't get caught up with a sexually transmitted disease or another Duggar on the side.

I wouldn't be surprised that Jim Bob gets caught up too!

The Duggars are an extremely conservative family. They have supported Republican candidates and fought to keep gay couples from getting married. Josh was the spokesman for the American Family Association. He resigned from the group after he was caught up fondling his siblings.

My Honest Take On Fall TV!

New Girl returns for another season. But will it survive this round?

Before I go any further, I want to let you know that I am not a TV critic or statistician.

I am a watcher of sitcoms, dramas and sci-fi shows. I don't have cable. I don't watch reality television that much and I tend to watch college football and NFL more. I do like watching college basketball and NBA games but I tend to just stay usually a workaholic and outgoing type.

I want to start off by saying this is an opinion. To all the trolls who may view this, nothing personal.

To anyone who works in the production of these shows, nothing personal.

To those who read this: Thank you.

Okay I am going to be blunt. I am not going to be watching much television this fall. Well I will say that I will make sure that I have access to my smart apps on my phone so if I do happen to miss an episode of a series, I can access it without paying fees.

There are some shows returning to ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW. Many of them have succeeded in carrying into another season. Others are struggling. I may not be a predictor of the future, but I can guide you to website that can tell you what may happen if you foresee a future without a favorite show.

TV By The Numbers is a website I often visit whenever I get a recap of shows. It has the renew/cancellation feature. The writers determine based on reviews which is a go and which is a no.

Some of the freshman shows will premiere in September others will in late Fall or early Winter.
The Mysteries of Laura featuring Debra Messing will continue for a second season. It survived the cut.
Some of the sophomore and long term shows will premiere this season. They will face an audience who could turn a dime when the show "jumps the shark".

Hopefully I see these shows prosper in the future. But I know when it comes to $$$$$$$ and business, it's about who's watching and who's not!

TV By The Numbers often is right on their call. They dub each call "the wrath of the Cancellation Bear." The Bear determines what show is likely to fade and which show continues on.

I don't have no impact on which show stays or goes. I just have this feeling that some of the shows that I've watched over the past year will eventually meet its end. Before I go into the short term shows, I will give you the shows that I believe will end in 2016.

Shows that are anticipated.

1) Empire
2) Modern Family
3) The Big Bang Theory
4) The Flash
5) Scorpion
6) 2 Broke Girls
7) Gotham
8) The X-Files
9) Last Man On Earth
10) Jane The Virgin
11) Scandal
12) How To Get Away With Murder
13) Grey's Anatomy
14) Chicago Med
15) The Muppets
16) The Goldbergs
17) black-ish
18) Heroes Reborn
19) Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
20) Supergirl

I will place my bets on long term shows ending.

1) New Girl (Strong Possibility)
2) The Blacklist (Toss Up)
3) Fresh Off The Boat (Strong Possibility)
4) CSI: Cyber (Strong Possibility)
5) The Odd Couple (Strong Possibility)
6) Galavant (Strong Possibility)
7) Last Man Standing (Likely)
8) Person of Interest (Toss Up)
9) Undateable (Strong Possibility)
10) The Mysteries of Laura (Strong Possibility)
11) Hawaii 5.O (Strong Possibility)
12) Bones  (Likely)
13) Castle (Likely)
14) Madam Secretary (Likely)
15) Mike & Molly (Toss Up)

I have a feeling that these shows will be cancelled before 2016.

1) Life In Pieces
2) Minority Report
3) Bordertown
4) Emerald City
5) You, Me, and the End of the World
6) Dr. Ken
7) Superstore
8) Hot & Bothered
9) Wicked City
10) The Real O'Neals
11) Angel From Hell
12) Houdini and Doyle
13) The Player
14) Crowded
15) Heartbreaker

Rand Paul Is An Epic Disaster!

If he bows out, he will at least continue his bid for the senate. But he may face a primary challenger. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) may be wrapping up his clown car bid.

Even though, he's still in this clown car, the Kentucky senator is struggling. I mean he's really in danger of being the first or even second casualty of the war.

Rand Paul, one of the Stallmigos running started off in the lead. But as soon as The Donald got into the race, the Paul campaign went up in smoke. I mean he's really in dire straights.

Right now, the state Republican leaders are deciding on a choice, should he run as a candidate for the White House or a candidate for the U.S. Senate. The Republicans are more likely focused on protecting the majority in the senate.

It seems like he's lucky for now. Kentucky Republicans approved his bid for the clown car and senate.

Paul hasn't gotten many endorsements from fellow lawmakers. Even Mitch The Turtle (R-KY) isn't endorsing his bid for the clown car. The majority leader doesn't give two fucks about him.

Donald Trump embarrassed his ass by saying that how can you have a candidate run for president and the senate at the same time. It like Kentucky residents are getting candidate who reluctantly wants to run for the senate if he falls out the clown car.

Paulites are a hot mess. They can't figure whether Paul has the juice.

Trump, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson are courting for Paulites. Should he bow out, the libertarian supporters are up for grabs. Should they embrace the libertarian candidate, Bernie Sanders or another Republican, it's likely a choice that goes bittersweet.

Paul isn't his father.

At least his father had more balls.

Ron Paul was a candidate that made sense until he opened his mouth. He just couldn't keep his trap shut when it came to his past sins. And his past sins of course follow his son.

So what's your thoughts on the sputtering Rand Paul?
