Freddie Gray's Family Rather Have Indicted Cops Jailed Than The Money!

Baltimore settles with family of Freddie Gray.

Baltimore paid the family of Freddie Gray $6.4 million in damages. Many conservatives are outraged at state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby and mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake for this.

They believe Freddie Gray injured himself and the six officers indicted are innocent of his death.

They believe Black Lives Matter, President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party is anti-cop, anti-White and anti-whatever.

This punitive damages of $6.4 million will resolve all civil claims related to his arrest and death. The payout needs approval from the city's spending panel and that OK is expected to come tomorrow.

Once granted, the money would be doled out over a two-year period. A statement from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's office says that the settlement "should not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the officers facing trial." Rather, the city's decision to accept civil liability in the case was done to avoid the cost of a court battle that could have ultimately cost taxpayers much more.

The Sun reports on the magnitude of the settlement: Since 2011, the city has only paid out sums in excess of $200,000 six times; there were a total of 120 claims made in that period related to alleged police brutality, and the Grays' settlement is just slightly larger than all of those combined.

The family would rather see these six officers fired and indicted on the second degree murder charge.

For you see, Freddie Gray suffered a broken neck. The law didn't act on screams of pain. The law didn't think his life mattered.

This death sparked a few days of unrest in Baltimore.

The impact caused the racist right to develop the notion that Democrats advocate for racial unrest.

The left also called to question Republicans failed leadership and their negative influence on equal treatment of suspects.

Many in the Black Lives Matter movement argue that criminals are often treated differently based on race.

Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, Sandra Bland, Taylor Christian, Sam DuBose, Michael Brown, John Crawford, Tamir Rice and many others suffered death at the hands of law enforcement.

Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland's death while in police custody calls into question how those in the lockup ignore injuries of those in detainment.

Baltimore is well on pace to having over 300 gun related deaths this year alone. The problem isn't the Black people, the law or lawmakers. The problem is access to firerarms. The state has lax gun laws that give owners the opportunity to use them in criminal acts. It's not a partisan issue, but a polarizing issue for gun control or strict background checks.

Gun crime is the biggest threat in America. NO ONE IN WASHINGTON BELIEVES THAT!

That's why we're seeing so many events like this happening.



Dennis Greene Passed Away!


The doo wop group The Sha Na Na's have been a dominant force in the late 1960s to now.

A member of the group who has ties to my community passed away over the weekend. World News Today send our condolences to the family of Dennis Greene.

Born as Frederick Greene, he was an American singer who was a member of Sha Na Na who were formed in 1969 at Columbia University in New York as the Columbia Kingsmen. The name change to Sha Na Na occurred because of another group with a similar name, which was known for the song Louie Louie.

The Sha Na Na
The television show Sha Na Na aired from 1978 to 1981. Greene choreographed most of the moves for the show, on which he was known simply as Denny. Denny was portrayed in the series as the most intelligent member of Sha Na Na. He sang lead in the song "Tears on My Pillow" when he appeared with Sha Na Na in the movie Grease, in 1978.


He was born in New York City and took up studies in legal affairs. On the sidelines he was the principle member of the group.

Greene graduated from Yale Law School, he worked as Vice President of Production and Features at Columbia Pictures. Following that, he was President at Lenox/Greene films. He has taught at Florida A&M University and the University of Oregon, as well as being a visiting professor at several other universities including Ohio State University, Seton Hall University, and the University of Connecticut.

Greene also served on the board of directors for the Society of American Law Teachers and is listed in Who's Who Among African-Americans.

From December 2007 until his death, Greene was a Professor of Law at the University of Dayton School of Law, teaching classes such as Torts, Entertainment Law, and Constitutional Law.

Greene died in Columbus, Ohio on September 5, 2015.



Kim Davis: Out On Bail Bitches!

Kim Davis, Rowan County Kentucky clerk ordered out. By federal order, she is to not interfere with marriage licenses. Davis vows to meddle.

The controversial Kentucky county clerk who refused to marry gay couples was ordered out of lockup today. After spending the Labor Day weekend in the county lockup, the federal judge said it's wrap.

U.S. Federal judge David Bunning ordered an immediate release of Kim Davis.

The clerk may soon be out of lockup by 5pm.

The order comes with a price. She cannot interfere with clerks willing to issue licenses. I am guessing she will defy the order and be put back in the lockup.

This issue came forth after she stood on religious grounds to block marriage licenses to three gay couples and two straight couples.

She admits that her Christian faith would not allow her to marry couples. Being a government. Defying a Supreme Court ruling, the Rowan County clerk had become a much talked about issue. The racist/religious/stupid right has gathered to the jail to do a protest rally for Davis.

Davis even got support among the clowns running for the nomination. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee will seek her endorsement. They plan on visiting the jail for moral support and votes.
Huckabee will be in Ashland, KY to rally supporters.
The Liberty Counsel has aided her legal defense and argued that the government went too far in jailing her.

Now this has set a rebellion of judges, county clerks and state workers willing to be jailed for refusing marriage licenses to couples.

This impact may spark the rise of the religious extremists who dominated the 1990s. The legacy of Jerry Falwell continues. Falwell was a dominate force in the religious right. He made Republicans and some Democrats take pledges to vow a Christian agenda. This pledge stands with many lawmakers. Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham are the living embodiment of religious extremism.

Davis is a registered Democrat by the way. The Democratic Party denounced her.

The release will assure that she will once again meddle in this. She will likely stand defiant in this.

Okay, what's your thought on the matter?

Do you believe Kim Davis's right to religious grounds?

Is it right to defy a federal order?

Handicapping U.S. Senate Race!

2016 Senate election map.svg
Republicans will likely keep their hold on the Senate.

This has been a very unproductive year for the Republican-led Congress. The House and Senate have spent a majority of their time trying to oppose the president's policies and repealing the laws created from the previous sessions.

They are officially back to work. They got a highway spending bill to pass. They got to pass a budget for the fiscal year. They have to raise the debt ceiling. They have to authorize the president's military action to fight against the Islamic State. They also have to decide on the Six Power resolution on Iran.

The Republicans have signaled opposition to the Iranian deal. They have promised to pass a temporary stop gap bill for highway funding. They want to repeal the healthcare law. They want to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. They want to pass the reactionary Kate Steinle law.

President Barack Obama promised to veto any legislation that goes against his agenda.

So far the job approval of Congress is 13%. The leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) have been dismal at best.

By far, Republicans are fucked. The longtime lawmakers fear they may be usurped by insurgents.

Could the insurgents retake Congress once again?
Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) vows to beat Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL). The double amputee veteran could win. She could be the first Asian American woman from the state to be a senator.
My best thoughts on the U.S. Senate race include the ones the junk food media will focus on.

So far I count this as unpredictable. It's a matter of anti-establishment or anti-politician. It's a focus rather on Obama fatigue or the inept Republican led Congress.

The races so far are handicapped by SAFE, LIKELY, LEAN or TOSS UP.

Anything I say doesn't matter. I don't control the mind of a voter. But I will tell you that the Republicans have to the most seats up for grabs. The Democrats have the most to defend.

So far, if the elections were today, Republicans would retain seats and earn two. Democrats would retake two and retain most of their seats.

I can't predict the outcome but I guarantee that most of these candidates will survive an election. A few of them might have an insurgent challenger in the primaries. But who knows?

Alaska (Lisa Murkowski) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Hawaii (Brian Schatz) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Washington (Patty Murray) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Oregon (Ron Wyden) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
California (Barbara Boxer) (Retiring) (Safe Democrat)
Nevada (Harry Reid) (Retiring) (Toss Up)
Idaho (Mike Crapo) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Utah (Mike Lee) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Arizona (John McCain) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Colorado (Michael Bennet) (Running) (Toss Up)
North Dakota (John Hoeven) (Running) (Safe Republican)
South Dakota (John Thune) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Kansas (Jerry Moran) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Oklahoma (James Lanksford) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Iowa (Chuck Grassley) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Missouri (Roy Blunt) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Arkansas (John Boozeman) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Louisiana (David Vitter) (Undecided) (Safe Republican)
Wisconsin (Ron Johnson) (Running) (Toss Up)
Illinois (Mark Kirk) (Running) (Toss Up)
Indiana (Dan Coats) (Retiring) (Likely Republican)
Kentucky (Rand Paul) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Ohio (Rob Portman) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Alabama (Richard Shelby) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Georgia (Johnny Isakson) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Florida (Marco Rubio) (Retiring) (Toss Up)
Pennsylvania (Pat Toomey) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Maryland (Barbara Mikulski) (Retiring) (Safe Democrat)
North Carolina (Richard Burr) (Running) (Likely Republican)
South Carolina (Tim Scott) (Running) (Safe Republican)
New York (Chuck Schumer) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Connecticut (Richard Blumenthal) (Running) (Likely Democrat)
Vermont (Patrick Leahy) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
New Hampshire (Kelly Ayotte) (Running) (Toss Up)

The most competitive races I predict will be Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Illinois and Wisconsin.

These seats were won by Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Four states are controlled by Republicans governors: Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Colorado is controlled by a Democratic governor.
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) the most vulnerable Democrat running for the senate.
Ron Johnson and Mark Kirk are the most vulnerable Republicans in this race. They have the most to fear because of the state's political leans. Scott Walker who is running for president has terrible job approval in his state. His bid for president could be an anchor for Johnson. Matter of fact, there could be a federal probe into Walker's office. Wisconsin voters are unpredictable. They have voted for Walker three times. He survived. Could Johnson survive?  He will likely face the former senator Russ Feingold. The Democrat was defeated in the insurgent wave. Feingold is considering another challenge against his old nemesis.

Kirk on the other hand has the most to lose. Kirk holds on the old seat once held by then senator Barack Obama. Kirk had an opportunity to retire when he suffered a stroke. But he held on to the seat. He also said some offensive things about fellow senator (presidential candidate) Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Kirk has to deal with the most competitive challenger the Democrats lined up. Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) has signaled her intention to run. She like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) have both served in the Iraqi War. She is a double amputee who won against an insurgent in 2012. She easily won her seat in 2014. The Democrats hope that she could built enough support to take on well funded Kirk.

Michael Bennet is the most vulnerable Democrat in the race. Bennet survived an insurgent challenge the first time, but could he face another one? Colorado Republicans have embraced weed legalization and a more stern stances to immigration. Insurgent Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) who faced him will likely sit it out. But the only candidate I can see willing to challenge Bennet is former secretary of state Scott Gessler. It's a toss up. Gessler's history could be a potential problem. Also the only Republican confirming a run is Darryl Glenn. He is an El Paso County commissioner. He has little name recognition.

Ohio's Rob Portman hasn't lost an election. He may face former Democratic governor Ted Strickland in this race. Portman is well funded and his job approval is decent here. John Kasich's run for president and his job approval may inspire Republicans to vote likely for Portman. He is one of the few Republicans to endorse marriage equality. He is also a political moderate who works with Democrats at some point.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is retiring. He is part of the gridlock machine that kept Congress at record low job approval. His retirement is a good thing for Washington. It's a bad thing for Democrats. They have a real good fight on them. They have to line up a candidate to take on the potential Republican. No candidate inspires me. Talk radio agitator Wayne Allan Root is too extreme. Shannon Angle is too dumb. Democrats are corrupt in Nevada. Who knows?  We'll see if there's a candidate willing to take the seat.

Florida's Marco Rubio decided to run for president. He can't be on the ballot twice. So he opt out for retirement to focus solely on the presidential run. He has nothing to lose. He may win the nomination. But then again, he may be a potential veep candidate. He, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) have chosen to take the gamble of being relatively unaccomplished politicians running for the nomination. Rubio's job approval is bad in Florida. The Republicans have to scramble to find a candidate willing to defend the seat. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL), a conservative leaning Democrat has signaled a run for the seat. I don't see any inspiring Republican challenger. The state is a toss-up for two reasons. Florida is a major swing state. Rick Scott sucks as a governor and his job approval could hurt the Republican nominee. Freshman insurgent Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) has signaled his intentions for the U.S. Senate seat. He recently won after Bill Young died.

Sen. Rand Paul is running for president and as a senator. Donald Trump put his bid in jeopardy. The people of Kentucky have soured upon Paul for his inept actions. He hasn't accomplish much as a senator and they're likely to reward him another term. But he may face a primary challenger if he opts out the presidential bid for the senate. Paul is an insurgent candidate who's got the most to lose. If he fails to get the nomination, he will continue his bid for the senate. As Trump said, why would Kentucky be willing to take a candidate who has failed!

Sen. John McCain from Arizona is by far the most annoying of the establishment. He will face a likely challenger from the right. He beat J.D. Hayworth in a primary fight in 2010. Trump mocked McCain on his status as a POW. McCain mocked Republicans for taking a tough stance on immigration. Trump used that as an advantage as well as his failed bids for president. His former running mate Sarah Palin will not endorse his bid. While the state is leaning as a swing, it's still has strong Republican hold. McCain running could be a safe bet. But given his standings with the party establishment and his inconsistent stances on issues, he could be beaten. Arizona will be a likely Republican hold.

Okay, what's your thoughts on this?

Bad Blood: Georgia Sons Tried To Murder Parents!

Two brothers tried to murder their parents. The law put them in lockup.

I guess it's going to be awkward at these family reunions. Two suburban Atlanta men are held in the county lockup for attempted murder. The attempted murder of their parents. 

Damn, why would you murder the parents? Were you guys loosing the allowance?

Anyway, here's the rundown of the situation. The brothers Cameron and Chris Ervin both got charges out the ass. They attacked their parents after a heated dispute. 

Yvonne Ervin called 911 Saturday morning and reported that she and husband Zachary were being attacked in their own home.

The perpetrators, she told police, were their own children. They were giving their parents a five finger knuckle roll alongside a toe jam side order.

"(Yvonne Ervin) stated to our 911 operator that her sons were trying to kill her and her husband," Gwinnett County Police Sgt. Rich Long told CNN.

But quick thinking from both mother and father enabled Yvonne to briefly escape from their sons long enough to call for help.

"(Yvonne Ervin) told the 911 operator that (her husband) had distracted the sons and that she was able to call," said Long. "That was probably the life-saving move from this event."

When police arrived at the Ervin family home in suburban Snellville northeast of Atlanta, "Zachary came out of the garage and collapsed," said Long. "He had a lot of head and body injuries from blunt force trauma and stab wounds on his back." Zachary Ervin was hospitalized in critical condition. Long said he and Yvonne are expected to survive.
Yvonne Ervin called 911 and reported that she and husband Zachary were being attacked by their own sons.
Brothers got angry at parents. They tried to murder them.
Police said the sons -- both of whom lived at home with them, according to CNN affiliate WSB -- were at the house when officers arrived, and the two were immediately arrested.

As brutal as the attack on the parents was, that wasn't the full extent of it, according to police. The sons also plotted to burn the home down, and had "introduced natural gas into the house," Long said.

Christopher (age 22) and Cameron Ervin (age 17) have each been charged with two counts of felony aggravated assault and two felony counts of first degree arson, according to Long. Under Georgia state law, 17-year-olds are considered adults in criminal cases, so both will be tried as adults, said Long, who added that investigators still don't know of any motive.

"There is no official motive at this point, but there has to be something more to this. I'm sure they didn't just wake up and decide to kill their parents yesterday," Long said on Sunday.

WSB reported the brothers were to be appointed defense attorneys Sunday, but it was not immediately clear if that had happened or who the attorneys are. Long said both suspects are expected to be in court at some point this week.

World News Today send our prayers to the Zachary and Yvonne Erwin.

High School Football Player Died On The Field!




A Louisiana high school football player passed away from his injuries he suffered from playing a Friday night game. While catching a punt return, Tyrell Cameron, a student at Franklin Parish High School was brutally hit by the players.

He died shortly after he was transported to Franklin Medical Center late Friday, said coroner's office spokesman Shane Scott.

CNN reports that the player was hit during a punt return in the fourth quarter in the game against Sterlington High School, Franklin Parish head coach Barry Sebren told CNN affiliate KNOE.

Northeast Louisiana Ambulance Service was on the sidelines during the game and rushed onto the field to help when Cameron was injured.

The cause of death is under investigation, but KNOE reported Cameron broke his neck.

A vigil for the 16-year-old Cameron was planned for Saturday night at Franklin Parish High School, CNN affiliates KTVE and KARD reported.

The school posted condolences on social media.

"He loved his family, his team, and the game of football. He will be missed," the school's Facebook page read.

"Tyrell will live on in the memory of those who loved him," the school's athletic program tweeted.
Football injuries are on the rise.

Since 1995, there have been 77 known cases in which the death of high school players were directly linked to football, according to numbers compiled by The National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research. There were five during the 2014 season. The center says about 1,100,000 people play high school football.

Also this week, a 16-year-old player at a Texas high school broke his neck during a junior varsity game, according to an online fundraising page for Jasiel Favors.

Favors, who played for Stony Point High School in Round Rock, is paralyzed from the waist down, the Austin Statesman reported Thursday.

Sophomore Josh Moore told CNN affiliate KXAN that Jasiel collided with two players and went down.

"Pretty sad to see because he was just laying there, I was worried if he was still alive or not, because he didn't move and they all swarmed, the cops swarmed over there," Moore told the Austin-area station.

World News Today send our condolences to Tyrell Cameron and Jasiel Favors.



Damon Wayans: Cosby Accusers Sure Know How To Hustle!

Damon Wayans defends his old friend Bill. 

Actor Damon Wayans goes to the junk food media to defend his mentor, Bill Cosby. 

The nation of Cosby collapsed after numerous accusations of rape and sexual assault allegations came forth. In a sworn testimony, Cosby admitted to using items that would make women extremely tired.

Wayans is not convinced that Cosby did this. He went on The Breakfast Club to defend him. 

"If I was him, I would divorce my wife, wink-wink, give her all my money, and then I would go do a deposition," says the actor. "I'd have some wine and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don’t believe that he was raping." 

 "It’s a money hustle". Wayans continued, saying, "Forty years — listen, how big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years? If you listen to them talk, they go, ‘Well, the first time…’ The first time? Bitch, how many times did it happen? Just listen to what they’re saying and some of them really is unrape-able. I look at them and go, ‘You don’t want that. Get outta here.’”

Again understanding that rape is traumatic and 90% of the time, rape goes unreported. 

Wayans is ignorant. Many rape victims often don't report their accuser because of power, the state of belief and money. Cosby obviously paid off women when he was caught doing it. I mean he's often trying to keep his legacy afloat. He would gladly silence an accuser if it stopped her from revealing his horrible deeds.
The famous Cosby frown.
Wayans don't see that some rape victims would commit suicide or have an unwanted pregnancy.

When Cosby was accused by a woman of fathering her child, he denied it. Shawn Upshaw, the mistress and her daughter Autumn Jackson tried to extort him. Jackson got some time in the iron college for this event. Many people sided with Cosby on that issue. Despite failed attempts to get a DNA test, Cosby refuses to acknowledge this.

Wayans should be very careful about his words. He could face some serious backlash for his comments. Trust me, rape is not funny or a rite of passage. It's a serious criminal act and it could land you in the iron college for LIFE or in some cases death.

In this gotcha media society, you have to have proof that a rape occurred. 

Concern trolls often shame a rape victim.

"She shouldn't have dressed like that!"

"She always slept around!"

"She said that she wanted to have sex!"

"She cries rape to get attention!"

"He should be raped in prison!"

"He had it coming"

"Like, most high school boys, they don't care if they bang the teacher!"

Did you know the first Black family of comedy are the Wayans. 

Keenen Ivory, Damon, Marlon, Shawn, Kim, Damon, Jr., Chaunte, and Damien Wayans are entertainers, comedians, writers and producers. They each had a hand in either a movie, a sitcom or animated series.

Keenen and Damon created In Living Color, the iconic sketch comedy on Fox. The show lasted for five seasons. It sparked the careers of Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey and Larry Wilmore.

Harris Faulkner Sues Hasbro For Unintentional Toy Name!

Harris Faulkner is angry that Hasbro released its latest Littlest Pet Shop feature. It's called "Harris Faulkner" and she's suing.

The black anchor on Outnumbered is pissed at a toy maker. Harris Faulkner is suing Hasbro because the Littlest Pet Shop named a toy "Harris Faulkner". Whether intentional or unintentional, she's pissed and she wants $$$$$$ and her name trademarked.

The network that gave Al Franken the best selling book as well as a senate win is behind this little crusade against the toy maker.

The Littlest Pet Shop introduced the cutest little hamster toy and this broad is so upset over it.

Political correctness?

Maybe a dig at the her?

Who knows?

I am not one to be upset over it. I actually see it as a compliment.
This toy has got a news anchor pissed.
It could have been worse! They could put her name to a gorilla and it would really drive  narrative that Black person is a monkey.

Ask President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. They often get the same treatment only more offensive.

Faulkner is suing Hasbro for “wrongfully appropriat[ing] Faulkner’s unique and valuable name and distinctive persona for its own financial gain.” The fact that they have a little ™ after the name is particularly troubling to Faulkner.

She’s also going after Hasbro for “substantial commercial and emotional damage” as well as “direct and contributory acts of unfair competition.”

Marc Lamont Hill: I'm Ashamed I've Worked For Fox!

cornel west mlh
Black scholars answer the racist right's attack on Black protesters.

The ongoing war against Black protesting. That network featured police officer, Black clergy, Black counter activists, Black and Hispanic agitators slamming the Black Lives Matter movement.

Now some in the support of Black Lives Matter fire back at the mounting criticism.

Marc Lamont Hill, professor and politicial agitator once was on that network. He was often the token liberal voice to a bombastic audience of conservatives. Now that he's ended ties with that network, he's going all out against their attempts to tie Black Lives Matter to the recent police shootings in America.

Hill with liberal extremist Dr. Cornel West were on CNN's Reliable Sources with Brian Stellzer

Everyone now heard the "pigs in blanket, fry 'em like bacon" remark. That's the endless loop of agitation from the Minnesota State Fair that the racist right seethed on.

Many activist in the movement denounced the chant and told that some members were tied to the New Black Panthers, a Black extremist group that seems to infiltrate movements to push its anti-White agenda.

Nonetheless, the comments stick and White folks are now fearing the movement as anti-White and anti-police.

West went first into it. West admitted there’s been some “hyperbolic rhetoric,” but said that happens whenever there is “black rage expressed based on black suffering,” and insisted there is no concrete evidence connecting #BlackLivesMatter to police deaths.

Hill didn't spare no one. He said that that network is being hypocritical for saying a few “outliers” represent the whole movement, but saying that wasn’t true of the tea party.

Hill said that it’s important to talk about the horrible deaths of police officers, but said when this “hate group” rhetoric gets ramped up, people in the movement are put in a defensive position and not able to address their issues.

And “particular media outlets,’ he continued (which includes Fox), are in this game to “troll the world” to say the suffering #BlackLivesMatter protesters are speaking out about is unimportant.

Conservative Outrage Over Gwen Ifill's Bibi Dig!

The right upset over Gwen Ifill's dig at foreign leader Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Conservative outrage once again. They're upset that a PBS news anchor took a dig at a foreign leader that the conservatives see as an honorary American leader.

Gwen Ifill went to the social media to dig at Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's failed attempts to derail the Iranian nuclear deal. He came to Washington in March to protest the deal.

The Democrats promise to block any Republican attempts to destroy the Iranian deal. The United Nations and power nations support the Iranian deal. The United States led the way for agreement.

The deal will require mandatory inspections, regulations on nuclear fuel and easing of sanctions.

The United Kingdom, Russia, China, France and Germany support the deal and have proceeded with implications to lift sanctions. The United States is stalled because of Republicans and Democrats squabbles.

Ifill went to social media to take a light jab by saying "Take That Bibi".






PBS ombudsman Michael Getler responded back to the expected conservative outrage by giving a reprimand to Ifill for her social media responses.

Getler wrote in his column that Ifill’s tweet was a “self-inflicted wound” and unbecoming of a journalist. After her tweet “quickly produced a lot of angry emails in the ombudsman’s inbox,” he wrote Ifill asking for an explanation.
Netanyahu's infamous bomb cartoon at the United Nations.
Getler added that he wasn’t buying Ifill’s excuse that she was just summarizing Obama’s views. “One would have to lean way over backwards to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was simply shedding light on the administration’s view of portions of Netanyahu’s arguments.”

“But to personalize it by saying, ‘Take that, Bibi’ is, in my book, inexcusable for an experienced journalist who is the co-anchor of a nightly news program watched by millions of people over the course of any week,” he concluded.

Out the gate comes the first reaction from a conservative. Matter of fact, he managed to throw Black Lives Matter into the fray. Pathetic.








And that racial dig netted a response from a Black Lives Matter activist.














So now if someone in the junk food media criticizes a foreign leader, it's apparently Black Lives Matters fault. Anyway, this is how far we've gotten. You can't even criticize, praise or support something without getting an earful of criticism.

So if I dig at a foreign leader, I am expected to be hit with criticism.

So if Ifill criticizes Netanyahu, she's an anti-Semitic. Funny, since when does criticizing a foreign leader is anti-Jew?

So if I dig at a political group, I guess I'm expected to be hit with criticism.

So if I dig at a person based on political beliefs, I guess I'm expected to be hit with criticism.

Arby's Cannon Fire Worker For Refusing Service To The Law!

Arby's made a worker and his manager shake with curly fries. They got fired out the cannon for denying a cop service.

Florida police officer was refused service by an Arby's worker. This managed to get a little bit of junk food media attention.

Huffington Post reports that Pembroke Pines Police Sgt. Jennifer Martin wrote in an incident report that she went to Arby's on Tuesday night and ordered at the drive-thru. Clerk Kenneth Davenport, 19, took her credit card, but it was restaurant manager Angel Mirabal who returned, saying, "[Davenport] doesn't want to serve you because you are a police officer," Local 10 reports.

Martin said she was uncomfortable, but went inside to get a refund and asked for the employees' contact information. Mirabal, 22, reportedly laughed, and said Davenport was allowed to refuse her service. He gave her back her money and his contact info, but Davenport refused to give his name.
I was just joking. Kenneth Davenport was put on ice pending a cannon firing for cop snub.
Davenport was put on ice pending a cannon fire. He was the alleged agitator. His boss was fired out the cannon.

Mirabal told Miami's Local 10 News that he was fired as shift manager at the Arby's restaurant, but he declined a request for an interview.

Still, the incident outraged law enforcement officials and others in the South Florida community and around the nation.

Some held a protest outside the restaurant Wednesday, while the Broward County Police Benevolent Association president called for a national boycott of the fast-food chain.
Jennifer Martin told the junk food media that she was denied service because she worked for law enforcement.
"Don't eat here. They hate cops," one protester told a customer who pulled into the drive-through.

The restaurant released the following statement Thursday: "We take this isolated matter very seriously as we respect and support police officers in our local communities. As soon as the issue was brought to our attention, our CEO spoke with the Police Chief who expressed his gratitude for our quick action and indicated the case is closed. We will be following up with our team members to be sure that our policy of inclusion is understood and adhered to. Further, we will be following through with disciplinary action up to and including termination of the employees involved, as appropriate."

"This was a complex and difficult decision, but as a company that highly values trust and fairness, we ultimately found that the crew member was not involved other than to attempt to remedy the situation," the statement said.

Davenport's grandfather told Local 10 that the whole thing was a joke and that the teen's words were "taken out of context and blown into something much bigger than what it should be."

The Arby's spokesman said that Pembroke police consider the case closed and that Brown will travel to the area today to visit restaurants and hand out free meals to officers.
