Pope Francis delivers a speech at the Joint Session of Congress.
Getting upset over the most trivial things is something that runs common among conservatives.
When Pope Francis delivered a Joint Session of Congress, many Republicans sat and grumbled as he delivered issues that involved climate change, nuclear weapons, immigration and the repeal of the death penalty.
Many conservatives have the nerve to call The Pope, a "Marxist". For what reason?
Because some of his stances are considered liberal. You're overracting to this?
It would be funny if it wasn't sad to have this type of behavior expressed as a foreign leader who devotes his life towards peace. I guess in the minds of those self-serving conservatives, peace is blowing the hell out of those evil "MUSLIMS".
The Pope sympathizes with the poor and the needy. He knows the decline in the church. The church's decline is due the young losing faith in religion.
He is hopeful to change this around.
His mission is to bring to light the plight of the poor. His speech included a mention of the poor and how we can improve our lives. He also condemned those who were involved in the priest scandal. He promises to reform the Catholic church.
They even got upset at President Barack Obama for "bowing" to The Pope. Matter of fact, the airplane carrying the Pope was delayed a few minutes because of the U.S. Secret Service demands to wait until the president made it.
Conservatives getting upset at The Pope is pathetic.
The Pope was invited by the weeping Rep. John Boehner (R-OH). Boehner got really emotional after he gave Pope Francis a handshake.
Earlier this year, Boehner invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu without notifying the White House. In March, the controversial leader tried to influence Congress to not support the Six Party Iranian nuclear deal.
Small town in rural North Dakota is becoming the mecca of White extremism.
One of the most dangerous extremist in the United States gets more attention. Byron Pitts of ABC News tried to get an interview with the notorious Neo-Nazi, Craig Cobb.
Cobb refuses an interview with the African American journalist. He called him a mulatto....and insert every racial slur. Cobb would hang up on Pitts and post his number on the hate web.
Of course, he warns the journalist not to come to Leith.
Cobb is by far the most craziest White extremist to ever exist. He is a bipolar sycophant who believes that he can create a pure White community in the remote communities in North Dakota. Cobb is a member of a fringe religion called Creativity Movement. The movement teaches the superiority of whites.
Cobb is on federal watch for potential terrorist attacks. So far, Cobb and many of his supporters (or flock) are willing to kill for the name of their "White god".
Cobb is very insane. He really takes any attack on him as an attack on the White race.
He often Google himself and find stories about him. He would troll the website and try to unearth the names of those who "call him out". Once he does, he post their phone number and social media pages on the hate webs. He will encourage his minions to harass the person he's singled out.
Leith, North Dakota is 175 miles from Bismark.
Good to be home! White extremist Craig Cobb plans on kicking the residents out of Leith, North Dakota.
It's a remote town that has a 98.2% White population. Cobb is trying to get rid of the only Black resident is the town.
In the movie Welcome to Leith, Cobb shares his vision of running the city. He wants White extremists to reside to his community. He wants it to be isolated from Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, Jews and Muslims. He wants pure White, Christian, conservative-minded individuals. Any supporters of the fuher, are welcomed to Leith.
The residents of the community fear that he's literally winning the battle. His flock of minions have came to set up shop. He wants to expand into a town called Antler.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks domestic extremists and potential terrorists have noted that Cobb's irrational behavior can pose a threat to residents.
He can come off as the "nice guy" who could actually be an "oddball". This behavior may result in violent outburst and threats of physical assault.
Bigot rips out the Q'uran in front of Wright State University students.
It was confirmed that the 2016 Presidential Debate will be held in Dayton, Ohio at Wright State University. The Republican and Democratic nominee will be here to debate the issues.
Wright State University is celebrating this event. It becomes a first for the university to host the first national debate. It will be televised on major networks and it will help Wright State get national exposure.
Ohio hasn't hosted a debate since 1980.
All this good news was disrupted by a bigot who came to cause some trouble. This man who wanted some local junk food media attention went to Wright State University to protest Islam. When he came to the campus, he brought him a Q'uran, the Islamic holy book. The local news agitators and national media are covering this controversy.
He would tear this holy book in front of the students causing a disruption.
The law couldn't do anything to stop him. He was within his right to be a bigot. But the damage is done.
WDTN reports that the man who wasn't a student came to cause trouble.
The video shows a man who is not enrolled at the university tearing up the Q'uran. As he screamed, “This is evil”, a growing crowd yelled back, “God is Love”. A Wright State spokesperson says the man is a student who travels to campuses across the country to demonstrate.
Dearborn police doing damage control after one of the officer screwed up.
Dearborn Police had to owe up to a woman. After a routine pull over in the Detroit suburb, the officer was disrespectful to the motorist. She didn't have a license and held a medical marijuana license.
She was being treated for the HIV virus. The officer freaked out when he searched her vehicle for contraband.
She was cited for driving without a license. It got worse when she was insulted by the officer who felt it was his duty to shame her about her health status.
The Raw Story reports Shalandra Jones, who sued after a Dearborn, Michigan, police officer asked if she had HIV, has settled with the city for $40,000, the city and her attorney announced Tuesday.
Jones was in a car that was pulled over for a routine traffic stop in January 2014 and questioned by police officer David Lacey for having marijuana in the car, as first reported by the Detroit Free Press. Jones had a medical marijuana card as part of her HIV treatment, though the card had expired at the time of the incident.
Detroit area woman sues Dearborn Police for harassment.
The police officer asked if either the driver or Jones had any diseases while searching through Jones’s purse. Her companion said Jones has HIV. “She’s got earrings and shit I’m touching, and I don’t want to get anything,” Lacey said on a video recorded by his dash camera. “That might be something you want to tell a cop,” he said to the driver. Lacey then compared Jones to “drug addicts” who use needles to inject drugs.
Of course, if you're not affiliated with the criminal behavior, you can tell an officer not to search your vehicle or reveal your status unless given by a court order.
The deadly disease isn't gone. HIV cases have actually grown in the past three years. It's mostly due to the heroin epidemic and denial of the disease.
HIV is spread through sexual contact, sharing needles and breastmilk to children. Blood transfusions are limited. HIV if left untreated can become AIDS. HIV is not a death sentence. HIV cannot be cured but it can be treated. You can live a healthy life with the disease.
HIV is spread through anal, vagina and oral contact. Oral sex is oftentimes looked as null. But if not rarely, a person can catch contact from a person carrying if the person has blood or semen infected with the disease.
It's a dangerous disease that I hope I never get. I usually get tested every six months because like most men, we're sexually active. I normally wear condoms whenever I have sex with a woman. Often times, I've been reckless.
Many of the victims of HIV are usually unaware of the disease. Some practice in unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Some may share hypodermic needles without properly cleaning them.
Some are aware of the disease and they don't care. They rather punish others for their failures. Those who do that are often associated with the stroll and they're willing to put your life and their life at risk for contact.
These are the ones who carry the disease. These are the ones who may end up getting me and you!
World News Today wishes Shalandra Jones well on her journey.
Trevor Noah announces his lineup for The Daily Show.
The anticipated return of The Daily Show comes Sept. 28.
Trevor Noah will take the helm of Comedy Central's primetime political satire show. The South African comedian and writer was chosen after Jon Stewart retired from the program. Stewart host the program for over 15 years. Stewart recently won an Emmy for The Daily Show.
The program was an anchor to liberals who enjoyed Stewart's hard hitting satire towards Washington lawmakers and media agitators. Noah came to The Daily Show in 2014. His memorable segment "Spot The Africa" was an instant hit.
The Nightly Show begins Season 2. Larry Wilmore is the host.
When Stewart announced his retirement from The Daily Show, Comedy Central confirmed that Noah will take the helm. Stewart ended his reign in July.
Noah is mum on the new set and what's expected from his reign. He admits that he's got a lot to fill, but he's willing to make it happen.
He confirms that Kevin Hart, Whitney Wolfe, Republican contender Chris Christie, Ryan Adams and surprises.
The Daily Show will premiere on Monday. The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore is already in Season 2. Wilmore was picked as Stephen Colbert's successor. Colbert had went to CBS to become the host of The Late Show.
Trump would rather go on this ass kissing agitator's program. The Donald is feuding with that network again.
Trump is once again aiming at that network. The network's GOP Sunday show and its primetime line up keeps lining up anti-Trump commentators who continue to denounce his "serious" bid for president.
Trump aimed at The Three Couch Nuts (Brian Kilmeade, Steve Doocy and Elisabeth Hasselbeck), the Smirking Chimp (Chris Wallace), Screeching Greta (Van Sustern), Bill O'Reilly (aka O'Loofus) and Megyn Kelly (aka The Outrage Princess) for allowing washed up pundits like Karl Rove, George Will and Charles Krauthammer on their programs.
Trump hasn't fully boycotted that network. He still has love for a few of them agitators on that network. Trump would rather gamble his chances on that ass kissing annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity.
Trump believes that annoying conservative agitator will give him an opportunity to speak.
Out of the primetime line up, that annoying conservative agitator has been very kind to Trump and every Republican running.
Everyone except Jim Gilmore went on that annoying conservative agitator's program.
The network is easing up on Trump coverage. After the dust up in Ohio, Trump singled out Megyn for the reasons to why he avoids many appearances on that network.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has froze out that network after lackey Ed Henry's disrespectful outburst towards her.
Clinton has appeared on CNN, CBS and ABC recently. She is making appearances on NBC and other outlets. No word on a GOP Sunday appearance on that network.
Megyn who is fuming over the "bimbo" comment is very eager to have him on to discuss these issues with her and the network.
Trump made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Scott Walker ending his quest for the White House. Hopefully he will fade into the limelight.
As soon as he called it quits, many in the junk food media started to question his motives.
His departure was a shock to many of his supporters.
Wisconsin governor Scott Walker's rise to the top quickly came tumbling down when Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina stole his lead. The last poll released showed that Walker dropped from 15% to 0.3% in his seven month quest.
Some are saying that the well-discipline Scott Walker was hiding something. Maybe his Republican and Democratic opponents may have found something damaging to his campaign.
Anyway, Walker plea to the Republicans to end the nonsense and support a truly conservative candidate was ignored. As of right now, the front runner Trump is still ahead with Fiorina tailing close behind. Ben Carson took a drop after tepid debate performance and the "I don't want a Muslim president" comment.
What could it be?
Many finger his campaign manager. Some insiders want the cannon to fire on the campaign manager.
It may have involved something that Gawker and Buzzfeed was eager to release but had no full confirmation.
We may never know. But like John Edwards, I hope it's not a secret love child.
Looks like pro-Confederate supporters forgot something. The "E" from hero. It's correctly spelled HEROES. A mistake that makes Confederate supporters look stupid.
They were counter protesting the Black Lives Matter.
Community activists and historic preservationists got help from an unusual source to draw attention to their protest today of monuments to Confederate leaders on Monument Avenue during the first day of training for the UCI Road World Championships.
A small plane carrying a banner with a Confederate battle flag and the phrase “Confederate heroes matter” circled above Monument Avenue, where the protest had gathered at the statue of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy.
But the drone of the aircraft did not drown the half-hour protest of the Richmond 2015 decision to make Monument Avenue a focal point of the world bicycle competition
The Black Lives Matter activists were protesting for the removal of monuments to Confederate soldiers. The counter protesters wanted to make their presence known.
It's unfortunate that their error in spelling will be cemented.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met Pope Francis today at Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, DC.
The Obamas and Bidens shook hands with the Argentine-born pontiff as he made his way down a receiving line and was welcomed by young schoolchildren and warm cheers of "Hello, hey, hey, welcome to the USA."
Presidents rarely welcome foreign leaders at the airport, although President George W. Bush set a precedent when he met Pope Benedict XVI at Andrews in 2008.
Francis, 78, was whisked away in a small black Fiat 500L, headed for the Apostolic Nunciature, the Vatican's diplomatic mission in northwest Washington, where scores of people waved Argentine flags from behind a barricade.
He greeted some of them briefly outside the nunciature before ducking inside.
The six-day visit is marking the popular and unpredictable pope's first time in the United States and includes a packed schedule through Washington, New York and Philadelphia. There are also unprecedented security measures in each city as throngs of Catholic faithful travel to see him.
Pope Francis wraps up his trip to Cuba.
Pope Francis is very popular among Catholics and non-traditionalist church goers.
Formerly known as Jorge Mario Bergoglio (December 17, 1936), Francis is the 266th and current Pope of the Catholic Church, a title he holds ex officio as Bishop of Rome, and Sovereign of the Vatican City.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bergoglio worked briefly as a chemical technician and nightclub bouncer before beginning seminary studies. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969 and from 1973 to 1979 was Argentina's provincial superior of the Society of Jesus. He was accused of handing two priests to the National Reorganization Process during the Dirty War, but the lawsuit was ultimately dismissed. He became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. He led the Argentine Church during the December 2001 riots in Argentina, and the administrations of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner considered him a political rival.
Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in 2013, a papal conclave elected Bergoglio as his successor. He chose Francis as his papal name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. Francis is the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere and the first non-European pope since the Syrian Gregory III in 741.
Throughout his public life, Pope Francis has been noted for his humility, his concern for the poor, and his commitment to interfaith dialogue. He is known for having a humble approach to the papacy, less formal than his predecessors, for instance choosing to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse rather than the papal apartments of the Apostolic Palace used by his predecessors.
In addition, due to both his Jesuit and Ignatian aesthetic, he is known for favoring simpler vestments void of ornamentation, including refusing the traditional papal mozzetta cape upon his election, choosing silver instead of gold for his piscatory ring, and keeping the same pectoral cross he had when he was cardinal. He maintains that the Church should be more open and welcoming. Although he considers poverty a huge problem, he does not support unbridled capitalism, Marxism, or Marxist versions of liberation theology.
Francis maintains the traditional views of the church regarding abortion, euthanasia, contraception, homosexuality, ordination of women, and priestly celibacy. Francis opposes global warming, consumerism, and irresponsible development, a focus of his papacy with the promulgation of Laudato si'. In international diplomacy, he helped to restore full diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba.
The Pope is the leader of the Catholic church. Francis, who is of Argentine birth resides in Vatican City. The Vatican City is a tiny (heavily walled off) enclave country completely surrounded by the city of Rome, Italy.
Viola Davis became the first African American woman to win an Emmy for being an Outstanding Lead Actress.
I don't often watch award shows. I find them annoying. I don't like watching them for one reason: Kim Kardashian. She is the reason why I can't stand reality television and celebrity award shows.
The awards shows are given to talent. There's no question for that. But it's unfortunate that her impact on the media has truly "dumb down" celebrity gossip. I mean seriously, I am not into this stuff because the hearsay.
The only thing that drives my attention to awards shows is "first".
Like a historical moment in television or movie history.
Andy Samberg hosted the Emmy Awards last night. The star of Brooklyn Nine-9 hosted the awards show on Fox. Well one actress broke the long standing history of concerns. She became the first actress of color to win an Emmy award for an outstanding lead.
Viola Davis won that award. The star of stage, movies and television became the first African American woman to win the award. She is the breakout character in ABC's How To Get Away With Murder.
Uzo Aduba plays Crazy Eyes on Orange Is The New Black.
Her win broke 70 years of shun actresses of color.
Beginning with a quote from Harriet Tubman, she said, “In my mind, I see a line. And over that line I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line, but I can’t seem to get there no-how. I can’t seem to get over that line.”
Then she started looking to the present. “Let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of color form anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.” So she thanked all of the people who have “redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a leading woman, to be black.” She then rounded things out by calling out fellow actresses, including Taraji P. Henson (Empire), Kerry Washington (Scandal), Halle Berry (Extent), and more to say “thank you for taking us over that line.”
Viola is known as Annalise Keating, a prosecutor and law professor who plots a sinister scheme with the aid of her naive students. The class How To Get Away with Murder is literally a monster on Thursday nights.
The Shondra Rhimes and Peter Nowalk series returns for season two and it's going to be better.
Viola also got flack from soap actress Nancy Lee Grahn. Grahn took a shot at her win. She hit up social media with complaint that Viola was being racist. Grahn also caught some flack from supporters.
Regina King is an actress who played roles in 227, Boyz In The Hood, Friday, American Crime and The Boondocks.
Grahn apologized on social media and personally called Viola.
Tracy Morgan also made an appearance at the Emmy's. His return came after he survived last year's fatal accident in which his friend Jimmy Mac was killed by a reckless truck driver.
Morgan was a presenter and still managed to keep the crowd rolling with his punchlines.
Morgan was thankful for the well-wishers and promised a return to television and movies soon.
Mad props to Regina King (The Boondocks and American Crime) for winning an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress Limited in Movies and Television and Uzo Aduba (Orange Is The New Black) for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy/Drama.
This will be a memorable moment of Viola, Tracy, Regina and Uzo.
It looks like he couldn't cut the cheese. Wisconsin governor Scott Walker announced that he will end his bid for the White House. The clown car is down to 15 candidates.
The controversial governor survived three elections. Yet, he couldn't survive an insurgent Donald Trump. The last debate performance was a disaster.
Walker was the pick of David and Charles Koch, the billionaires of Koch Industries. He was the candidate that I had the halo around. I thought this guy had the potential to be the president.
Walker saw the slide in Iowa and South Carolina. He was supposed to regain that lead. It turned out to be harder than expected.
Walker was one of the most high profile candidates to run for the bid.
Walker gained support from conservatives after he took a fight to the public sector unions.
Walker had a war chest but not enough support.
Walker never lived up to expectations on the campaign trail or the debate stage. Walker is expected to announce he is dropping out of the race Monday evening in a press conference in Madison, Wis, three Republicans confirmed.
Walker, whose super PAC raised millions, had difficulty raising hard dollar donations and couldn’t afford to maintain his large campaign staff, one of the Republicans said.
I thought they liked me!
In a CNN/ORC national poll of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents Sunday, Walker garnered less than 0.5% support, from well into the double digits earlier this year. In recent months, Walker has struggled to gain attention in a media environment dominated by Donald Trump and Ben Carson, and has found his pitch as a battle-tested reformer to be overshadowed by the desire for political outsiders.
Time reports that Walker’s swift exit from the race draws easy comparison to the 2011 withdrawal of former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (formerly known as T-Paw), who quit the race after losing the Iowa Straw Poll and garnering just 2% in national polling in August of that year. He too struggled with hard-dollar fundraising in a crowded field. Pawlenty later said he regretted the early exit.
Walker’s withdrawal brings the record Republican field down to 14 major candidates, after former Texas Gov. Rick Perry dropped out of the race on Sept. 11.
Walker’s money trouble further highlights the limits of super PAC fundraising, which can accept unlimited dollars but cannot use them for the core functions of a campaign, such as travel costs, office rent and payroll.
Republican operatives have been warning for months that Walker’s operation had grown too large without a corresponding emphasis on fundraising. Instead, Walker’s circle pointed to the robust super PAC as a stopgap to their own lagging financials. That group, Unintimidated PAC, had already reserved more than $9 million in television ads for the early presidential primary and caucus states.
If the Democrat wins the White House, Walker might try it again. I hope not!
His exit offers an opportunity for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to consolidate his support among voters looking for a experienced executive. It also opens a potential avenue for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to become darlings of those same voters, who are wary of a third Bush in the White House.
In recent weeks, Walker has resorted to ever more dramatic efforts to claim headlines and drive grassroots enthusiasm. Just two weeks ago, Walker rebranded his campaign around promising to “wreak havoc” on Washington. And on Sept. 14, launched a new assault against national public sector unions in hopes of recapturing conservatives’ imagination.
Walker, 47, rose to national prominence in 2011 when he declared war on many of his state’s employee unions, sparking months of protests and failed recall effort in 2012. Walker became the first governor in American history to survive such a challenge. He won three elections in four years, while signing into law a host of measures that endeared him to conservative voters, including Right to Work legislation and new restrictions on abortion rights.
Watching from afar, donors and activists cheered Walker and pledged financial and political support. *He was at one point a darling of the political network assembled by billionaire conservative donors Charles and David Koch.* That aid was slow to come.
So if you're looking forward to at least a Walker presence, look for his endorsement of a candidate.
But if he is to keep his political fortunes in tact, he might want to run against Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) when 2018 comes forth.
Walker's name can finally be retire from World News Today.
Serving a helping of Uncle Ben's with a side of turkey. The candidates are following the Trump formula of being ignorant (i.e. politically correct).
Dr. Ben Carson went to GOP Sundays to talk about his poor debate performance. He was on Chuck Todd's show.
Carson was asked about the Donald Trump supporter who questioned President Barack Obama's faith. The moron said that Islam is antithetical to the U.S. Constitution, and he doesn't believe that a Muslim should be elected president.
Carson, the only Black candidate running for the clown car was a former neurosurgeon. I thought he was a smart person. Alas, he's definitely not a smart person. He's a stupid bigot.
"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation," Carson said. "I absolutely would not agree with that."
Carson's moronic comments led to a swift condemnation from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other civil rights groups. Many on the left and rational believe the Republicans are extremely stupid.
Tell you the truth, a half of the primary Republican voters can't stomach them all. Only a 28% of primary supporters are in favor of Trump. After the debate, Trump took a slide and Carly took a rise.
Carly Fiorina is another idiot running. After her debate performance, as expected, her polls went up.
The poll shows that Fiorina is in second place or tied with Carson.
The reason why Carson caught so much flack, was the junk food media's coverage of the Trump campaign. This ignorant concern troll caused such an uproar by saying that the president "hates America" and is a Muslim. He said that he would love Trump to "eradicate" Muslims. It became a story. Trump didn't stop the concern troll from making an ass of himself.
Trump was on George Stephanopoulos's show and he didn't hold back. He actually somewhat defended the concern troll. The concern troll's name wasn't released to the public.
All the Republicans were asked about the negative comments from the concern troll. They deflected and distracted.
