The Thud!
How about some skin... |
Trump is the front runner. He along with Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina have been the insurgents who managed to steal the show.
In the debate, most agree that Fiorina won this debate. Trump survived. Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, John Kasich, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio are struggling to climb out the decline.
Chris Christie Ted Cruz, and Mike Huckabee had the best applause lines.
Carson may have bombed at the debate.
The primary debate had the four juniors. Jim Gilmore wasn't invited to the event. Lindsey Graham and Bobby Jindal were the winners of the junior league debate. George Pataki did pretty well in the junior league.
Rick Santorum will continue to be the officially last place candidate.
CNN may see big ratings for this three hour train wreck. |
Overall, I didn't like the debate. It was just like its rival, another stupid attempt to generate controversy among candidates who have no necessary reason to be running.
I am almost certain that Trump coverage will start dying down. Carly Fiorina may have risen in stock after this debate. Bush, Paul, Pataki, Christie, Jindal, Walker, and Kasich better step their game up or bow out.
The word vomit spewed by the Republican candidates. The candidate gave the most time to their idol Ronald Reagan. They aimed their vomit at the current president, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Texas Teen Busted For Having A Homemade Clock!
This became a national story. This didn't come up in the Republican debate. The Black Lives Matter activists have followed the story. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg and even the White House have came to the defense of this young teen.
The Council on American Islamic Relations has filed a lawsuit on behalf the teen who was busted for bringing in a clock to his high school. The teacher thought the teen brought a bomb to school.
He was arrested and suspended from school. Today he was granted access back to school. He refused to return. Ahmed Mohamed has told the junk food media that he's getting the heck out the school and will file a lawsuit against the Irving Texas Independent School District.
Ahmed became a social media topic over few past days.
Texas, huh! No surprise here! This is the state that advocates for conservative themed history books.
So this English teacher thought a device Ahmed brought into school appeared "suspicious in nature".
"I built a clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her. I'm very sad that she got the wrong impression of it," said Mohamed.
He was questioned about the device. He was told that he would be held in the pre-lockup until further notice. He managed to get his family to take this picture. This picture went across the social media and took off.
People blasted the school board and the city of Irving for jumping to conclusions. The mayor did shoot back saying that the "safety" of her community always comes first. While she does understand that the situation was unfortunate, his arrest was justified.
Irving Police determined that they weren't going to file charges against Ahmad. They also fought back the accusations of profiling.
"We have always had an outstanding relationship with the Muslim community," Irving Police Department chief Larry Boyd said on Wednesday. "Incidents like this present challenges. We want to learn how we can move forward and turn this into a positive".
The boy was placed in handcuffs and fingerprinted. He was released after it was determined there was no threat.
Ahmed Mohamed's arrest has been sharply criticized, and the boy has received an outpouring of support including an invitation to the White House.
Ahmed told reporters it was "very sad" that his teacher thought his clock was a threat.
The McArthur High School freshman was a bright standout who is an inventor. He was mistaken for a "terrorist" according to his sisters and friends.
At a news conference on Wednesday afternoon, Ahmed announced he plans to transfer schools.
Ahmed's father Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, who is originally from Sudan, praised his son's ingenuity, saying he fixes everything around the house, including his father's phone and computer.
"He's a very smart, brilliant boy and he said he just wanted to show himself to the world," he said.
The teenager said another teacher became aware of it when the device beeped during the lesson. "She was like - it looks like a bomb," he said.
The homemade clock consisted of a circuit board with wires leading to a digital display.
Later in the day the boy was pulled out of class, interviewed by senior teachers and four police officers, and put into juvenile detention.
The school issued a statement saying it "always ask our students and staff to immediately report if they observe any suspicious items".
World News Today wish Ahmed well wishes on his journey to success.

CNN Deliberately Trying To Make Republicans Fight!
CNN is a total mess. Just like its rival, the cable agitators see $$$$$$$ in the insurgents.
CNN is in Simi Valley at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for the second Republican debate.
The 11 candidates and 4 minor leaguers had an opportunity to duke it out. And in the first five minutes of both debates Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama came up in topic.
Carly Fiorina, Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, and Rand Paul already gotten into it.
CNN deliberately trying to get Republicans to fight Trump.
I'm not a fan of Trump. But what CNN and the establishment is trying to create is these immature fights for ratings. Not much was talked about on stage other than "I think I'm so much better than Obama.... Clinton.... Bush and I can be like Reagan".
I'm pretty damn sure that me and many others see this CNN debate as a fucking joke.
Republicans are supposed to be talking about real issues. Not petty name calling.
I know they hate President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Democrats.
The Republicans are falling into the trap. They're too predictable. With them being predictable it becomes a weakness.
I don't want to watch bitching. I want to hear serious issues.
This post will be updated throughout the debate. I will go ahead and give insight to this train wreck.
It was a clusterfuck of time. Three hours of partisan bitching. All of them mentioned Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Ronald Reagan by name.
Fiorina won the debate. |
Walker got little time and not enough time to debate his issues. Walker seemed unprepared for this debate. He faced off with Trump. Trump knocked Walker for causing the state of Wisconsin to be in debt. Walker wanted to deflect the hard truth about his budget. He managed to use the same old strategy of attacking Hillary Clinton and Trump for using Democratic "talking points".
Bush got some time and is still struggling to recapture his lead. Bush defended the brother's "keep us safe" narrative. Okay, Bush, what about September 11, 2001 and August 29, 2005. Them events didn't keep us safe. Bush stumbled on the talking point about Trump taking property for his casinos. Trump knocked Bush, Christie and Fiorina for being failed leaders in business and government. No mention of Terri Schivo or Bush's role in the "stand your ground" law.
Christie got some talk time. He interrupted the most in this debate. Got the best applause lines. Of course, Christie blasted Obama for failed leadership. No mention of the president's handling during Hurricane Sandy in which Christie said that government did right. Christie wanted to make the focus on the people "suffering" under Obama's economic policies. He also wanted to take the spotlight off the candidates accomplishments. He told the viewers that their accomplishment don't mean shit. He wants to be the candidate that watches Americans achieve accomplishments and not failure.
Fiorina is the likely winner but will that matter in the polls? If the polls matter Carson and Trump could cap their leads. Trump's controversial "her face" managed to get into the debate. The candidate got an opportunity to respond to his comments. She didn't go hard on him, but she did address the fact that women are struggling for greatness and her role in this race is to make everyone succeed. Trump didn't apologize or make any snide comments at her. All he done was basically praise her for her beauty and the opportunity to be on stage with him.
Paul got little talk time. Got nailed by Trump on falling polls. Trump also knocked the candidates for all being in the pocket of special interest. Paul did mention the failed leadership in Iraq. Although he is in support of military action against the Islamic State, Paul failed to explain how his policies would be able to cap the drama over in Syria. All the candidates fault Obama for withdrawing from Iraq. Depsite the Iraqis wanting the U.S. out of their country, the candidates claim that even though Iraq was a mistake. They believe Obama's early withdraw cause the "vacuum" of "radical Islam" to retake Iraq.
Huckabee got little talk time. He said that Kentucky's state ban on marriage should have stand. He said that Kim Davis should have not been put in the county lockup. Huckabee was stern on the religious freedom. He believes that there's a double standard. Convicted mass murder Nidal Hassan was allowed to have a beard when he faced his military tribunal. He lumped a military officer to an elected politician in his argument. The Republicans couldn't agree on religious freedom. Kasich and Bush both argued with Huckabee. Davis was wrong they said. Cruz had an opportunity to defend her as well.
Rubio got the least talk time. He didn't get much time to explain his foreign policy when it comes to Iran, Cuba and Mexico. These issues were a must for Rubio. Since he's got nothing to lose, he is often floated as a potential vice presidential candidate. He's still a novice on domestic policies.
Carson got some talk time. Spared foreign policy question.
Cruz got little talk time but had the most aggressive response to policies. Cruz knocked Supreme Court chief John Roberts. He believed that Chief Justice Roberts was "immorally" wrong on Obamacare. He also said that Bush and his father Bush, Sr. were caving to political pressure in nominating moderate or liberal justices.
Kasich got little talk time and was combative with CNN agitators.
Okay the debate was covered by the news agitators and they all agree that Carly Fiorina won the debate. I agree as well. The candidates didn't have ample time to debate real serious issues.
Also the debate on a woman being on a $10 bill. Kasich and Bush picked foreign. Bush picked Margret Thatcher. Kasich picked Mother Teresa. Fiorina said no woman should be on a bill. Carson and Huckabee picked family over politicians. Trump, Cruz and Rubio said Rosa Parks. Cruz wanted to put Parks on $20 because he denounced the Andrew Jackson legacy. Walker pulls Red Cross founder Clara Barton. Christie picked Abigail Adams.

I'm Sorry For The Break Too...
Turmoil continues in Young Money paradise. |
Lil' Wayne and his year long romance with Christina Milian has ended. I am guessing that he may actually be the rumored father of a certain hip-hop gossip who claimed that Christina "sucked" for a label deal.
Single again. |
The-Dream and his other ex-wife, pop singer Nivea warned that this relationship would be a total disaster. They were right.
Nivea is the mother of The-Dream and Weezy's children.
Christina is pretty damn heartbroken over this event. She just recently posted that nice shiny thing on her arm as a present from him.
Then there's the feud with this hip-hop gossip. Christina doesn't like this.....well you know!
Karrine "Superhead" Steffans is the "hip-hop vixen", She is a notorious celebrity agitator. She claimed that she got the game on lock when it comes to men in sports and hip-hop. She wrote Vindicated and mentioned her pregnancy with her second child.
She claims that a certain name in the hip-hop game is the "baby daddy".
She also warned Christina to stay in her lane.
Birdman sued The Carters for copyright infringement. Lil' Wayne released an unauthorized album on Tidal and Cash Money is suing Jay-Z and his co-founders for allowing its release. |
This breakup may have Weezy cannon firing Christina from Young Money. She will premiere her reality television show Christina Milian: Turned Up on E! Entertainment.
Weezy is currently stuck in a legal limbo. He is forced to owe up a stack for skipping bills. He was under contract to take care of his private plane. I guess he didn't pay $2.5 million in failure to pay for his private jet.
He also is facing a lawsuit from his label for releasing the Free Weezy Album on Tidal. The album kind of sucked. Bryan "Birdman" Williams warned Weezy and fellow disgruntled labelmate Tyga that they would be "blackballed" if they keep acting out.
Proof positive that Birdman is a man of his word.
Lil' Wayne still feuding with Birdman and Young Thug. |
Weezy was pissed that Birdman delayed Nicki Minaj and Tyga's albums as well. The Cash Money label is going through a major civil war right now. Drake promises that leaving Young Money/Cash Money after the release The Views From The 6.
Young Thug is Birdman's star act. That star act is squeezing the air out of Wayne's spotlight.
Many people are still riding with Lil' Tunechi for the most part. But as his turmoils continue, I get this feeling that Weezy will end up broke in five years.
Who knows?
So what's your thoughts on the split? Who ended the relationship?
Simi Simi Ya!
Another debate where Obama and Clinton's names are mentioned more than policies. |
The circus is heading to Simi Valley, California. CNN will do round two of the Republican debate. There will be 11 candidates on stage debating the front runner Donald Trump.
The Ronald Reagan Library will host the event. Once again Republicans will deflect issues. They will be counted on the times they've mentioned in policies or saying the same themes. We will determine who gets the most airtime and the least airtime.
We will have an expected back and forth between candidates and Trump. CNN bowed to pressure. They allowed Fiorina on stage after she succeeded in that rival network's minor league debate.
Jeb Bush is losing footing. He will have to regain the momentum. People are already writing Bush off as a viable candidate. He's well funded and principled. But like Hillary Clinton, Bush has to defend the actions of his dad and brother, presidents respectively. Clinton has to defend her husband and former boss's actions. They were presidents, respectively.
Ben Carson hopes to pass Trump in the next poll. Carson's quiet approach may benefit him. Carson best get his foreign relations skills together, he gonna get some questions about foreign policies. He's in second place. Trump leads with 35% of supporters. Carson has 14%, Bush has 8%, Cruz and Fiorina have 7%.
Scott Walker, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie and John Kasich will join the rest of the candidates on stage. They made the cut.
Bobby Jindal, Lindsey Graham,
What I expect on Wednesday night's debate will be the usual word vomit
BARACK OBAMA
HILLARY CLINTON
DONALD TRUMP
BILL CLINTON
OBAMACARE
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
PLANNED PARENTHOOD

What I could hear (but I highly doubt it).
Minimum Wage

Climate Change

U.S.-Canadian Border
Currently, the rival network hosted the first debate. It pulled in 24 million viewers. As Trump puts it, if he wasn't running, that network would only obtain 5 million viewers. It was a train wreck.
This debate is a make or break for the candidates.
Ronald Reagan is a Republican god. |
Scott Walker was the leader in Iowa until Trump got into the game. Trump stomped out every lead Walker had in the state. Now Walker stuck at 3% is hoping to make a comeback. He's struggling in fundraising and support.
Chris Christie is still on stage. Despite many Republicans souring on him as the governor of a failed state, Christie often brash tone could make interest. The governor wants a round with Trump. But could this bout with Trump and nemesis Paul doom his chances? Christie is at 4%.
Kasich is the Jon Huntsman of the debate. Huckabee is hoping people remember he still exist. He had an opportunity to give martyr status to Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis. He will likely mention that as well as Paul's failure to support her.
Are you willing to watch the debate?
Conservatives Lumping Black Suspects To Black Lives Matter!
Shooting suspect Joseph Johnson-Shanks (left) poses with Missouri law enforcement. He was the suspect in the killing of a Kentucky State Police trooper. Conservatives are lumping him with Black Lives Matter. |
Okay, from this point on, why don't we start associating every White criminal/terrorist to the conservative movement! Because it sure seems like an eye for an eye.
That old fart Limbaugh was bitching about the Kentucky State Police trooper Joseph Ponder being gunned down by Joseph Johnson-Shanks after a routine pull over. The suspect is Black and from the St. Louis area. The area seen unrest since the Michael Brown shooting. It became a rally cry for Black Lives Matter. The racist right seems fixated on blaming the group for cop killings.
As predicted, the racist right would lump every Black criminal to President Barack Obama and those in the Black Lives Matter movement.
Somehow, they unearth Johnson-Shanks' social media and found that attended the Michael Brown funeral and had sympathies for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Big freaking deal!
Kentucky State Police trooper Joseph Ponder wasn't going to arrest suspect. He was going to detain his vehicle and help him get shelter. Some troopers offer shelter for people who get pulled over with vehicle violations. The suspect would put the passenger and her children in danger. |
The passenger faced the music because she didn't render aid to the trooper. She could have escape but continued to be with the suspect. She may face the murder charges.
Blaming Black Lives Matter is the only option for conservatives. The suspect was Black.
Where's the cries from Black Lives Matter when a cop is killed?
So from now on, I might as well label every White mass shooter, cop killer, child molester, rapist and terrorist to AM agitators, that network and agitators in the junk food media.
Matter of fact, we'll lump Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Dana Loesh, Bill O'Reilly, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and asshole Mark Levin responsible for the actions of every White criminal.
Since we've lumped criminal behavior, the next mass shooter read InfoWars, The Drudge Report, World Net Daily, GotNews, The Blaze and The Daily Caller before the mass shooter had an inspiration to kill.
Shannon Lamb a former professor murdered his girlfriend and another fellow professor. Should we blame conservatives for his actions? He comes from Mississippi, one of the most conservative states in the nation. |
I know I hate to blame others for an individual's own decisions. We live in a society where the junk food media sparks interest in these events, for ratings.
I said gun crime is on the rise. This is the biggest threat in the nation. This overshadows terrorism and Ebola. Gun crime is the most talked about issue in the United States. Over 2,300 people are injured by firearms. Over 4,000 people died by firearm a day.
Okay, let's get to Mississippi. A terrorist murdered two and then took out his own life. The families are shocked to here this man (i.e. the nice guy) would commit such an act. The state is mourning the loss of this college professor who inspired his students to greatness.
Really who takes the blame for the Delta State University shooting?
A) BARACK OBAMA
B) BLACK LIVES MATTER
C) NRA
D) AL SHARPTON
E) THE SHOOTER
F) ALL OF THESE ABOVE
If you picked the shooter, then you're correct. But if you picked the rest of them, you're not helping.
Amy Prentiss was gunned down. |
Instead of blaming the terrorist who murdered his girlfriend and a college professor at a rural Mississippi university, we'll just blame AM agitators for the shooting.
Shannon Lamb committed mass murder over the past day. This terrorist killed Amy Prentiss his longtime girlfriend before driving to Delta State University to settle a score with a former friend.
This terrorist puts a bullet in the head of Ethan Schmidt, a professor in history. This terrorist was a former geography professor who had mental issues.
He lives in Mississippi one of the most Republican friendly states in the nation. He had obtained the legal right to firearm. He decides to make his children survivors of the court because of his actions.
He was a single parent raising two children. He was struggling with monetary issues.
He was a talented man. This terrorist had an opportunity to escape the troubles by performing music at local clubs. He leaves his friends and band mates stunned about this.
This terrorist probably believed Amy was having an affair with Ethan. He should have dumped her and move on. He should have gotten a STD test and count your blessings that she didn't steal his property.
Whether it was an affair or not, the actions committed by this terrorist destroyed families.
Ethan leaves behind a wife and three children. He was a beloved instructor at Delta State. Amy was a mother of a budding musician. She leaves behind her daughter who performed with the terrorist.
So I am guessing if you want to lump a mass shooter to conservatism, go right ahead. They are lumping a Missouri man's ties to Ferguson as an excuse.
Ethan Schmidt was a beloved professor who taught history. This terrorist Ethan once referred a friend killed him. |
Or was there ever a case?
Did the officer Charles Joseph Gliniewicz (known as Officer Joe) commit suicide?
There is word on the street that Officer Joe put a bullet in his torso. We can't confirm that he committed suicide. But the bag em ups said that evidence is shaky.
The FBI thought they had a strong lead. That lead lead to nowhere.
Since Black Lives Matter was blamed for the death of Officer Joe, wondering if the conservative will recant their accusations if the case turns out to be a self-inflicted wound?
Your thoughts on the matter? Post them here.
World News Today send our condolences to the families of Joseph Ponder, Ethan Schmidt, Amy Prentiss and every victim of gun crime in the United States.

Riding Clean Gets Woman Held In Psyche Ward!
Kamilah Brock was put in the crazy house after they believed they determined her story about owning a BMW and having President Barack Obama following her was a joke. |
The New York Police Department once again under fire for locking up a woman who told them constantly that she owned the ride. They didn't believe her. They put her in the psychological ward of a hospital. Once released, they hit her up with a $13,000 bill for service.
She is filing a complaint and probably a lawsuit against the police department.
Kamilah Brock is a Black woman who is a professional. She was riding her BMW around Harlem when she was pulled over by the law. The law accused her of blowing in the wind. They observed her "dancing" to the music and taking her hand off the steering wheel (i.e. distracted driving).
She was cited and forced to let her to relinquish her ride.
"I said I was dancing, I am at a light," says Brock. "He asked me to get out of the car." She was taken into custody that day and freed without charges, Brock says, but things got worse when she arrived at a police substation the next day to pick up her 2003 BMW 325Ci.
"I just felt like from the moment I said I owned a BMW, I was looked at as a liar," she says. That's when police apparently put her in handcuffs and had her taken to Harlem Hospital.
According to medical records, she was held at the hospital for eight days, injected with lithium and strong sedatives, and told she could only leave after denying three things: that President Obama followed her on Twitter, that she worked in banking, and that the BMW was hers (all of which she still says are true). The final insult, says Brock, was her $13,000 medical bill. But in its court filings, the city says she was "acting irrational, she spoke incoherently and inconsistently, and she ran into the middle of traffic on Eighth Ave.," the New York Daily News reported in July.
The lawsuit says it was these three assertions that were the basis for the city determining that Brock was delusional and to diagnose her with bipolar disorder.
But according to her lawyer Michael Lamonsoff, Brock had no history of mental illness. She did own the BMW. At the time, she was employed as a banker and had worked at Citibank, Chase and Astoria Bank. And Obama does follow Brock on Twitter, just as he follows 640,000 other people.
When Brock was finally released from the hospital, the lawsuit states, she was slapped with a $13,000 medical bill.
A white woman would not have been treated like that, Lamonsoff argues.
"If a white woman was trying to reclaim her BMW impounded by police, would she have been made a victim?" he said to HuffPost. "Would she have been questioned? Would she have been subject to sarcastic comments? Would she be made to justify who she was in order to ask for help? I don't think so. I do think race played a part in this."
Institutional bias against African-Americans is well-documented and contributes to the racial disparities in how laws are enforced. Just this week, James Blake, formerly the fourth-ranked men's tennis player in the world, was tackled and handcuffed at a midtown Manhattan hotel by police officers who confused him for a suspect in a crime. Blake, who is black, suffered cuts and bruises and was detained for about 15 minutes, until officers realized who he was.
"In my mind, there's probably a race factor involved, but no matter what, there's no reason for anybody to do that to anybody," Blake said after the incident.

Suspect In The Kentucky Trooper Shooting Killed! Who's Gonna Take The Blame?
Kentucky State Police are mourning the death of Trooper Joseph Cameron Ponder. |
Today, the Commonwealth of Kentucky is mourning the death of a state trooper who was murdered by a man who refused to stop upon an order to stop his vehicle.
State patrol officer Joseph Cameron Ponder was killed after being shot by the suspect Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks. The suspect was killed after an active state search. Ponder's death would make this year alone 24 officers who died in the line of duty.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Joseph Cameron Ponder.
Ponder (age 31) just recently graduated from training academy. He was in his full trial run as a trooper. This event happened in western Kentucky. This event occurred on a section of Interstate 24 near Interstate 69 (the Western Kentucky Parkway).
The trooper was conducting a routine patrol stop. He was going to issue a citation to the suspect. The suspect took off. Trooper Ponder gave chase. Johnson-Shanks would abruptly stop deliberately causing a rear end crash. When he got out his vehicle, he starts popping off.
The lead hits trooper Ponder. He was rushed to a Princeton, KY hospital where he died of his injuries.
Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks was apprehended after an intensive manhunt. He was wounded by KSP sharp shooters after refusing to comply to order to disarm. He died at a local hospital. No motive to why he killed Trooper Joseph Ponder. |
The manhunt lasted into the night. The suspect would exit his vehicle and run into the woods.
Johnson-Shanks was armed with a handgun and did not comply with several commands to drop his weapon, according to Sgt. Mike Webb.
"That gave the trooper closest to him no choice but to fire his agency-issued weapon, striking him multiple times," Webb said.
Okay, the suspect is killed. He was a 25-year old Black man from St. Louis, Missouri. The suspect was with a woman and two children.
Who are they gonna blame in the death of Trooper Ponder?
A) BARACK OBAMA
B) BLACK LIVES MATTER
C) BLACK AMERICA
D) CONGRESS
E) THE SHOOTER
F) ALL OF THESE ABOVE
If you picked the shooter, then you're absolutely correct. Of course, if you're blaming everyone but the shooter (i.e. Obama and Black Lives Matter), then we're going to blame you for the death. See lumping Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama to the deaths of law enforcement is not productive.
No one condones the deaths of those in law enforcement.
Most Americans believe those in law enforcement deserve praise for risking their lives for the safety of those they've sworn to protect. It's a thankless job. They don't get recognition much. The only time they get recognition is when they are given media attention.
The problem is that those in law enforcement won't weed out the officers who create the divide. The officers who abuse their power while on duty. They are the ones who give law enforcement a bad name.
The blame game is a partisan event in which agitators from the right and the left start accusing a whole group for the sole actions of the suspect.

They seem to always ignore the shooter. The shooter deserves all the blame.
Now you aware of the concern trolls and the #copslivesmatter and #AllLivesMatter hashtag.
The concern trolls use this as a counter attack against the Black Lives Matters activists.
The concern trolls ignore the concerns of the activists. They conclude that Black Lives Matters is anti-cop, anti-White and anti-whatever.
Again, gun crime is an epidemic. This outranks terrorism and Ebola.
The lawmakers in Congress refuse to do anything about it. They conclude that the NRA is more powerful than them. The clowns running for the Republican and Democratic nomination aren't talking much about it.
Moses Malone Passed Away!
The passing of the chairman. Moses Malone passed away suddenly. |
Another legend in the game passed away. World News Today send our condolence to the family of Moses Malone.
The NBA Hall of Famer died on Sunday at age 60. The Philadelphia 76ers confirmed the "passing of a legend" in a statement commending the superstar for his contributions to the city and basketball.
The three-time NBA MVP averaged 20.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game over his 21 seasons playing professional basketball. He was also named the Finals MVP in 1983 while playing with the 76ers, who won the league championship that year.
"It is with a deep sense of sadness that the Sixers family mourns the sudden loss of Moses Malone. It is difficult to express what his contributions to this organization -- both as a friend and player -- have meant to us, the city of Philadelphia and his faithful fans," the 76ers said in a statement on Sunday.
Many in the NBA send condolences to his family. |
The 6-foot-10 center, nicknamed the "Chairman of the Boards," was chosen as one of the NBA's 50 greatest players of all time in 1996. He was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2001.
News of Malone's death, first reported by ESPN early Sunday, sparked an outpouring of love and remembrance for the player, including this touching tribute from the 76ers.

James Blake: NYPD Should Fire That Guy!
The NYPD could have killed me. James Blake was injured by a plain clothes officer who slammed him down. |
The video that shows retired tennis star James Blake getting a face full of concrete after he was slammed to the ground by the law.
The video has went viral. The New York Police Department is doing damage control. They already put the officer who slammed Blake to ground in the freezer pending a disciplinary hearing. The mayor Bill de Blasio and police commissioner Bill Bratton offered apologies.
Blake didn't accept that. What Blake wants is those who done this act to be fired out the cannon.
The disciplinary hearing could determine if the plain clothed officer James Frascatore should get a cannon firing. Matter of fact, a trove of information about Frascatore came out this weekend.
This isn't the first time he's been involved in unnecessary roughness. It's been over five times and those times often involved Black suspects or in the case of James, mistaken identity.
Blake was waiting for his ride. He was on his way to view the U.S. Open when this guy comes out nowhere and body slammed him to the ground. Blake didn't even know what hit him. It was finally revealed that he was a NYPD officer. Four other officers aided in his arrest. They detain him for 15 minutes. He was bruised up and traumatized.
"The first words out of my mouth were 'I'm 100 percent cooperating,'" Blake told CNN Saturday.
The video went viral. |
Officer James Frascatore has had multiple complaints levied against him in the past and has been sued four times for using excessive force. All four cases are still ongoing.
"I've seen [the video] a few times now, and they talk about being desensitized when you see something a lot, and I'm definitely not at that point because it still strikes a nerve," Blake told CNN. "It's still so frustrating and angering to see how vulnerable I was and what he did with that. To be a police officer you're given a lot of rights, you're given certain powers. And then to abuse them is just wrong."
"This officer didn't treat his badge with respect and honor the way we're supposed to," he told CNN. "He doesn't deserve to ever have that badge again."

Yeah, the dickwad who worked as the NYPD union president. He had some thoughts on the matter.
Lynch said Blake's arrest was made "under fluid circumstances where the subject might have fled, and the officer did a professional job of bringing the individual to the ground."
Basically Lynch condoned that type of behavior from that officer.
This is the same Lynch who blamed de Blasio and Black Lives Matter for the tragic shootings of four NYPD officers. Lynch instigated the infamous turn around on de Blasio during the funerals of officers. de Blasio who has a biracial son commented on racial profiling and how it affected his son.
Lynch took that as anti-police. He went to that network to bemoan about President Barack Obama, the mayor and the Black Lives Matter activists. He said they contributed to the deaths of police officers.
Eric Garner death by NYPD attracted a lot of attention last year. It may have led to a nutjob traveling from Baltimore to put slugs in two officers last November.
