Megyn The Outrage Princess upset over Hillary Clinton's great week.
This appears to be a great week for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. The former Secretary of State made the Republicans look foolish Thursday.
One agitator isn't a happy camper.
She is practically pissed that the junk food media decides to call the win for Hillary Clinton.
Megyn the Outrage Princess and her right wing network have devote the most coverage to the September 11th, 2012 attacks at U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
She went as far to invite relatives of the victims on her program to trash Clinton.
Megyn and her colleagues over at that network have been relentless on this controversy. They are deliberately pointing the finger at Clinton instead of the criminals. They want to make the narrative that Clinton didn't care about the lives of those lost in that tragedy.
Megyn brought up an email uncovered yesterday showing Clinton emailing the Egyptian prime minister saying they knew the Benghazi attack was not about the anti-Muslim YouTube video, but was instead a planned terrorist attack.
The conservative agitator said this was a pretty big deal, but instead the media narrative has been of the “she won, it’s over, move on” variety.
Yeah, we want to move on.
With the junk food media being focused on Clinton, it took the spotlight off of Donald Trump and Ben Carson. Matter of fact, Clinton doesn't really have any real threats besides Bernie Sanders.
Her rivals Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee bowed out. Martin O'Malley is a blip on the radar. Vice President Joe Biden isn't running. Democrats finally are warming to Hillary Clinton.
Seems like she's got the advantage in this race.
Now the conservatives are trying to refocus on other non-issues. The conservative Craigslist tried to make the issue about her health after Clinton coughed for a moment. Some kooks wrote books trying to paint Clinton as a "bitch" and "lesbian". They hope she gets sent to federal time out for having a personal server.
Rebound.
Republicans and their conservative allies are extremely desperate. They thought that Clinton was down for the count. They were hoping to weaken Clinton before she would become the nominee.
It was a "game changer" when Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) went on that annoying conservative agitator's right wing carnival to boldly claim that the Benghazi committee was devoted to hurting Clinton at the polls.
The Democrats and many political analysis said that the "cat's out the bag".
The Select Committee Hearing on Benghazi didn't net anything new. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and six other Republicans thought the hearing would take Clinton off her game.
They thought wrong.
For nearly 11 hours, Republicans tried and tried to bring up issues other than what happened that dreadful night in September. Four Americans lost their lives to a deliberate attack.
The Benghazi committee hearings have surpassed investigations into Watergate. This investigation has surpassed the September 11th, 2001 commission reports. Now many are hoping that the Benghazi controversy is over.
Woman accused of driving her vehicle through a parade crowd killing four and injuring dozens.
Tragedy in Stillwater, Oklahoma. There was a woman today being held on a murder charge. She was behind the wheel of a car when she allegedly plowed into people watching a parade for the Oklahoma State Cowboys football homecoming.
The BIG 12 Cowboys are ranked 14 in the National College Football Standings.
This 25 year old woman may face LIFE in the iron college if they determined that her actions resulted in murder.
The suspect Adacia Chambers is held in the lockup.
Plowed through.
Chambers drove her car through a crowd killing four and injuring 22 people. Of the living, eight of them have life-threatening injuries. Some have walking wounds.
The witness say that she was plowing through the crowd at speeds totally 50 mph.
The suspect in today's incident in Stillwater, Adacia Chambers, has been booked into the Payne Co jail @NEWS9pic.twitter.com/n5yzYX5Jqp
After exiting her vehicle, Chambers was arrested for driving under the influence. Police have stated that it will be “several days” before the full facts of the incident will be released. She was booked and is currently at Payne County Lockup.
At the scene, multiple choppers were used to airlift victims to Stillwater Medical Center. Multiple law enforcement agencies are involved in the recovery process. The accident occurred at the corner of Hall of Fame and Main Street, a very populated area just two blocks from the football stadium.
World News Today send our condolences to those lost today in this senseless tragedy.
The devil told me to kill and I complied. This murderer is in lockup on capital murder. Two of his buddies are in lockup as well. Now will the concern trolls blame President Barack Obama and Black Lives Matter for a heartless murder?
In Lehigh Valley, a trio of men were arrested in a series of spree killings. One of the killers claims he was motivated by the devil. This story happened over the summer but finally managed to get attention. Conservatives are upset that the junk food media cared only about the White terrorist who murdered nine innocent church goers. They're pissed that three Black terrorists managed to kill seven innocent victims in two states and it barely gets junk food media coverage.
An Elizabeth, NJ man is in the lockup for murder. He claims that the "voices" in his head told him to just kill and he followed through.
His accomplices are also held in lockup for allowing him to carry out the attacks.
Allentown police detective John Brixius tells Lehigh Valley Live that the suspect Todd West heard "The voice was telling him, 'Just eat, eat, stop being so picky,'"
When West was asked if police had the getaway car used in his crime wave, West told them he knew police had the car, "because he told him, referring to the devil," Brixius said.
The detective's account is one of an estimated 15 witnesses who are expected at a preliminary hearing, which started Tuesday afternoon and is continuing into the evening.
West, 23, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, is charged with seven killings in all -- three in the Lehigh Valley and four before that in New Jersey. Authorities have agreed to try him in the Pennsylvania cases first.
Kareem Mitchell, the accused driver during the Lehigh Valley rampage, told investigators he was giving co-defendant Robert Jourdain a ride with his 2-year-old son to Easton, and West, whom he had never met before, came with them.
Mitchell said West displayed a gun as the SUV traveled from New Jersey into Pennsylvania.
After dropping off Jourdain's son with the boy's mother in Easton, the trio went to Allentown, where West got a haircut the night of July 4, Brixius said.
The three then went to an after-hours club -- they weren't sure where -- and then drove to the Wal-Mart at Northampton Crossings in Lower Nazareth Township in the early morning of July 5, where Jourdain bought bullets, Brixius testified.
West said the trio were driving in Easton, when he saw a man who looked tired walking along Lehigh Street; the man was Kory Ketrow.
West told investigators he was going to "help" Ketrow, then West got out of the SUV, said "See ya later" and fired a Smith and Wesson .38-caliber pistol "until it was empty" -- a total of six rounds, Brixius said.
Asked if West knew the victim, West identified him as, "Just a guy in Easton," Brixius said.
These terrorists committed heartless murders in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
West then described traveling to Allentown and shooting Francine E. Ramos and Trevor D. Gray, both of Allentown, in a burgundy Honda a little before 4 a.m. near North Sixth and Greenleaf streets, Brixius testified.
West saw Ramos stiffen as he opened fire and knew she was dead, but told police that Gray tried to duck behind a car, "but he believed he got him," Brixius said.
The killings in the two cities happened about 45 minutes apart.
When investigators asked West about opening fire on a couple in Easton after Ketrow's killing but before going to Allentown, West "couldn't believe he forgot," Brixius said, and described the demands from the voice he was hearing.
Helene Barone didn't forget. The Palmer Township woman was driving the car that police say West shot.
Barone testified she was at a traffic light at Third and Spring Garden streets about 3:20 a.m. July 5 when she looked in her rear-view mirror. She saw an SUV stopped about 20 feet behind her car with its lights off.
Barone said she saw a man get out of the rear passenger seat and raise his arm. That's when she said she saw a gun.
"I said, 'Oh my God they're going to shoot us!'" Barone testified. She hit the gas as she heard three shots, she said.
"I was out of there," she said.
Murder of seven innocent people by this terrorist.
Barone drove through two red lights, got on Route 22 West and got off at the 25th Street exit to go to the Palmer Township Police Department, she said.
Barone said she noticed a tire was losing air. The next day when the tire was taken off the car, someone shook the tire and could hear something inside. When Barone took the car to a tire shop on July 6, a bullet was found in the tire well, she said.
Here's a quick poll!
Now that the Lehigh Valley spree shooters are caught, who actually gets the blame for this heartless act of violence?
So if you picked the shooters, then you're correct. If you pick other entities other than the shooters, then you're part of the problem.
For you see another mass shooting occurred in America. The conservative Craigslist splashes this and the concern trolls are full swing into blaming President Barack Obama over the shooters.
When he address gun control, the concern trolls are tone deaf. They accuse the president of shielding Black criminals over White victims. Despite all the talk from the president, the conservatives will always find some reason to jump to conclusions and blame.
Gun crime is the number one threat in the United States. It beats terrorism and Ebola.
We can pass legislation to stop terrorism. We can pass legislation to control Ebola. But we can't pass a sensible background check law because of Congress being so fucking inept.
The NRA has a hold over the Congress. Republicans hide their ignorance behind the Constitution.
How long will it take before something gets done.
104 people die a day from gun violence. If you multiple it by 7 it's 728 people a week.
If you put it in 52 weeks 37,856 people die a year by gun violence.
World News Today send our condolences to those lost in senseless gun violence.
Corey Jones was a gifted drummer. On a late night, his vehicle broke down. He waited for a tow truck. He would never make it home. According to the law, he had an altercation with a plain clothes officer. The officer shot him six times.
If it wasn't for DeRay McKesson, Bree Newsome and Shaun White, you wouldn't hear about the story of a Florida man who was gunned down by an undercover police officer.
This undercover police officer would put slugs in the man. His superiors confirmed that the undercover police officer in an unmarked vehicle didn't flash a badge. But they also said that the victim pointed a gun at the officer.
The victim had no criminal record. He had a conceal carry permit. He carried the permit in case he may have been robbed of his properties. A legal Second Amendment right to carry a firearm in his vehicle without prosecution. The prosecution for have legal right to carry, death.
His name was Corey Jones. A 31 year old, brother, grandson, nephew, musician and child of God.
Corey was a popular church drummer who a concealed carry permit holder. In Florida, you have a legal right to have a firearm with a permit.
The Jones family disputes that Corey would have pulled his gun on an officer, had he known it was an officer. "I raised my children … to respect law," said Clinton Jones, Sr. a reverend.
Jones "would not ever, ever, ever" pull a gun on a police officer, according to Clinton Jones Jr., who called his brother "the happiest person ever."
All we can go by according to the law, the officer fired for his safety. The officer thought he saw a threat when he exited his unmarked cruiser.
Now the Florida state attorney and the U.S. Department of Justice are involved in this.
The family of the victim hired Benjamin Crump. The high profile attorney involved in Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown has gotten involved in this.
The officer who shot Corey is in the freezer.
"Are people going to come and support Corey's right to have his gun and protect himself?" Crump asked.
A crowd of several hundred on Thursday converged outside the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department to present a "rally for answers." While there was frustration about the Jones shooting, the crowd largely kept positive with a mix of numerous church verses recited and songs.
Corey was broken down on Interstate 95 exit ramp near PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens. It was a dark night and Corey was concerned about his safety. He had just got off the phone with his brother.
During a period between 2:45 and 3:30 am, the undercover officer approached his vehicle.
The undercover officer who wore jeans, a t-shirt, and a baseball cap. The officer Palm Beach Gardens Police Officer Nouman Raja approached Corey.
There was no dash camera or flashing lights.
Corey Jones's family speaks out. They demand answers to why he was killed by a plain clothes officer.
There was an altercation and six shots. Corey was killed on sight. Now the officer is in the freezer pending a grand jury decision on whether to indict him. Raja hired a lawyer and also got his police union backing him up. The union will try to defend the actions of Raja.
If this become a national story, guess what happens! The junk food media will cover it and then the partisan agitators will debate it. Then we will have concern trolls try to justify the officer's call.
And here we go again, the conservative agitators and concern trolls blame President Barack Obama and Black Lives Matter for Black on _______ crime.
While with Ferguson and Baltimore erupted in violence in reaction to Michael Brown and Freddie Gray, the family stated that they want peace. The family is clearly upset over this. They understand that people are upset over this. They don't want people to use this a rally call for racially motivated violence.
His brother Clinton Jones Jr. on Thursday sought to temper any racial implications in the shooting, saying he and his brother "don't see color."
"All lives matter," Jones Jr. said, adding that he meant "no disrespect" to the Black Lives Matter movement. "This is not a black thing."
His grandfather Rev. Sylvester Banks Sr., Jones' grandfather and a pastor at Bible Church of God in Boynton Beach. He offered the most prolific speech of the day.
Cory had no criminal history.
He told the crowd that he taught Jones to obey and respect the law as one of his 14 children. If the officer was found to have used excessive force, he urged police to disclose that information. "If you try and hide a corrupt person, you become corrupt," he said.
His message to police locally and internationally was to rid themselves of "bad apples."
Something tells me that Corey and his family were Black Republicans. Where's the outrage from the likes of that annoying conservative agitator?
Did you know we had a handful of gun crimes in the United States this week. Some managed to get national attention. Others were reported on the local news. The most notable was the death of a little girl. She was shot by a deranged driver in a road rage incident in Albuquerque.
Also we had a members of law enforcement shot this week. Three.
One officer in New York City.
One officer in Albuquerque.
One officer in rural Arkansas.
This week President Barack Obama was asked about Black Lives Matter. He said that the meaning of Black Lives Matter isn't solely focused on Black lives. He told a group of people at the Marshall Forum that the activists have legitimate concerns.
The Black Lives Matter activists have always said that "ALL LIVES MATTER." Their message is basically bring attention to racial disparities between Blacks and the law.
President Barack Obama dismissed the chatter from the likes of that asshole Wisconsin Sheriff David Clarke.
"So let me just suggest this: I think everybody understands all lives matter. Everybody wants strong, effective law enforcement. Everybody wants their kids to be safe when they're walking to school. Nobody wants to see police officers who are doing their job fairly hurt. Everybody understand it's a dangerous job," said the president.
"I think the that reason that the organizers used the phrase "black lives matter" was not because they were suggesting nobody else's life matters. Rather, what they were suggesting was there is a specific problem that is happening in the African-American community that's not happening in other communities. And that is a legitimate issue that we've got to address." he added.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Corey Jones, Albuquerque officer Daniel Webster, NYPD officer Randolph Holder, and Illiana "Lilly" Rose Garcia. We also send our condolences to the nameless victims of gun violence.
The former Rhode Island governor is expected to drop out of the race today. I guess even appearing on that annoying conservative agitator's right wing carnival couldn't move the needle.
Lincoln Chafee just announced will drop out at the Democratic Women's Forum.
"We have a winning message of building a strong middle class, investing in education and infrastructure, extending health coverage to more and more Americans, granting a path to citizenship to those who have lived in the shadows for too long, accepting the science of climate change and having the leadership to cut back on our fossil fuel consumption with sound policy, We defend our civil liberties and women’s reproductive freedoms, respect the rights of our LGBT friends, understand that black lives matter and that we need to do more for Native Americans. And you can be sure that Democrats will make good appointments to the Supreme Court, something this country needs and deserves," said Chafee.
"As you know I have been campaigning on a platform of Prosperity Through Peace. But after much thought I have decided to end my campaign for president today," he added.
The junk food media picked up on a social media response. The "hints" were dropped as soon as he posted.
I look forward to speaking at DNC Women's Forum tomorrow morning. I'll address my future in the campaign there. #chafee2016
The one term governor was struggling with raising campaign funds and name recognition. He couldn't muster enough support from his own state.
Chafee was a former Republican senator who was defeated in 2006 by Sheldon Whitehouse. He became one of the many Republicans who endorsed Barack Obama for president.
Chafee left the Republican Party in 2009. He ran as an independent in 2010 to become Rhode Island's governor. During his term he was a reckless governor. His state went into 9.3% in unemployment under his watch. He also got a lot of ethics problems.
Nonetheless he thought he could motivate the independents and Democrats who weren't satisfied with Hillary Clinton.
Nope, the independent senator from Vermont stole his thunder.
Now it's only four candidates in this race. Martin O'Malley and Larry Lessig are the only lower tiers left in this race. They haven't conceded out the race.
Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are the front runners in this race.
Vice President Joe Biden announced this week he wasn't going to run for president. It gave Clinton a clear path to beating Sanders. Clinton saw a bump. Her Benghazi testimony may have inspired Democrats who sat on the fence.
In the race for the Democratic Nomination as of today.
Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders
Martin O'Malley
Larry Lessig
In the race for the Republican Nomination as of today.
Donald Trump
Ben Carson
Marco Rubio
Ted Cruz
Carly Fiorina
Jeb Bush
Chris Christie
Mike Huckabee
John Kasich
Rand Paul
Rick Santorum
Bobby Jindal
George Pataki
Jim Gilmore
Lindsey Graham
Here's the greatest hits or misses of Lincoln Chafee.
Well, I just got home today and now I'm home posting about the 11 hour Congressional Select Committee on Benghazi.
From 10am to 9pm, former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic candidate for president, Hillary Clinton comes to Washington to testify about the situation.
The Republican-sponsored investigation in the September 11th, 2012 tragedy in the seaside Libyan city. The American ambassador Chris Stevens and three men died in an attack on the CIA-sanctioned U.S. Consulate.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is the chair of the committee. He along with a handful of Republicans grilled Hillary Clinton today. Many of the Republicans managed to get a piece of her.
Memorable moments were an exchange between Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) and Clinton.
Clinton laughed at Roby when a question about Clinton's personal business. Of course, Roby wasn't thrilled that she laughed at her.
Rep. Pet Roskam (R-IL) has a turn.
Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) was trying his best.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) the insurgent leader also got a grill in. "Where'd the false narrative [the YouTube anti-Muslim video] start? It started from you!
In regards to the unrest in the Middle East after the release Innocence of Muslim, a controversial movie trailer being shown in translated language.
While I seriously believe that the Republicans intentionally created this committee in order to stop Hillary Clinton from winning the election, Republicans tell the public that they're not here to hurt her chances. They're there to find out the truth.
Democrats offered the most defense towards Clinton.
Rep. Ellijah Cummings (D-MD) blasted the committee as being a ploy for "gotcha moments".
He and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) put Gowdy on blast for this $5 million disaster called a investigation.
That network that obsesses over Hillary Clinton's emails was first to cut away from programming.
MSNBC and CNN ran through the hearing with exceptions to committee breaks.
Many see this a game changer for Hillary Clinton. The candidate was struggling throughout the summer and conservatives were hoping that Vice President Joe Biden would jump into the race.,
Many conservatives believe that Clinton may end up in federal time out. This is the wet dream for many conservatives. They believe that Clinton violated federal law. They seriously believe that she would order a stand down when there's an attack on an American embassy. They are trying to paint President Barack Obama as weak on terrorism.
America is ready to move past the Benghazi controversy. Many people don't really give a crap about Clinton's emails or the pinata Sidney Blumenthal.
NYPD mourns the lost of an officer. The conservative agitators will automatically blame President Barack Obama and #BlackLivesMatter.
The New York Police Department is once again facing a tragedy among their ranks. An officer died in East Harlem. He was engaged in a gun fight with a suspect.
Officer Randolph Holder was shot in the head. He died at a local hospital.
The suspect, Tyrone Howard is a notorious dope boy. He was spotted in the area with a stolen bicycle. The suspect robbed a man of his bike. The suspect was spotted by officers.
They gave chase.
Howard 30, who goes by the street name "Peanut," has a long criminal history, with 18 prior arrests and three outstanding warrants. He was wanted for an earlier shooting in East Harlem.
Holder and other officers were responding to reports of gunshots in East Harlem, which police sources said was connected to gang activity.
Howard has been previously arrested multiple times, including a year ago in a case relating to gang activity, officials said.
Howard was also wanted for a shooting on Sept. 1 and there was an active warrant for his arrest, according to Jim O'Neill, the NYPD's chief of department, speaking at a news conference today with Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The NYPD's Manhattan violent felonies squad was actively working the case, O'Neill said, noting, "We were hunting him but obviously [we were] unsuccessful."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio extended his condolences to Holder's family and vowed, "We will not stop in the relentless pursuit of the violent few."
A viewing for the officer was set to be held at the Community Church of the Nazarene in Far Rockawawy, Queens, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. next Tuesday, the AP said. The funeral was set for 3 p.m. the next day, the AP said, and he will be buried in Guyana.
The incident on Tuesday night started as a gang dispute between members of rival gangs that operate in the adjacent Jefferson Houses, East River houses and the Wagner Houses, police sources told ABC News, noting that there is an ongoing dispute between gangs in the three apartment complexes.
The suspect was wanted on numerous warrants. He engaged contact with officers. He fired upon them, killing one. Officer Randolph Holder was 33 year old. He was a native of Guyana.
Billy Aubry, the NYPD's chief of detectives for Manhattan said that two police officers on the roof of one of those locations observed shots being fired down below and responded.
The gangs got into a dispute in front of a parking garage at 445 E. 102nd St. and that is where shots were fired, police sources said.
"We know from the evidence recovered at the scene that there were at least three firearms that were fired," Aubry said.
Commissioner Bratton questioned why the suspect in the police shooting was diverted to a drug program after his arrest last year as part of a group of 19 violent drug dealers operating in an East Harlem apartment complex.
Howard was ordered into a court-mandated drug diversion program, which is meant to keep some drug offenders from further crowding already overcrowded jails, after his arrest last October, Bratton noted.
But Howard stopped taking part in the program in May.
"If ever there was a candidate to not have been diverted, it would be this guy. He is a poster boy for not being diverted," Bratton said during today's news conference. "He would have been the last person in New York City I would have wanted to see in a diversion program. He has no propensity, with the number of arrests over a many year period of time, of changing his ways."
De Blasio added: "When you look at the offenses this individual committed, they were consistently violent. I don't know the details of how his case was handled by the judge. But I do know someone like this shouldn't have been on the streets."
A man of discipline says his fellow officers. Randolph Holder was NYPD's 4th officer killed the year.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. responded in a statement.
“I am deeply angered and saddened by the senseless murder of Police Officer Holder. This defendant was part of a strategic investigation and prosecution conducted by our Violent Criminal Enterprises Unit, targeting the individuals driving crime in East Harlem," Vance said. "We recommended state prison for the defendant, and opposed his request for diversion.”
Howard is being held without a get out free card. New York's mayor Bill de Blasio wants this "scum" placed in the iron college. Howard has not yet been charged. The NYPD said there's video evidence, physical evidence and witnesses that will tie him to the shooting.
Now that the shooter is caught, who really gets the blame? Here's a quick poll.
Who Gets The Blame In The Killing Of NYPD Officer Randolph Holder?
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.
Mayor Bill de Blasio wipes tears away. He is torn by the lost of Officer Holder.
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.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Randolph Holder and everyone lost to senseless gun violence.
Vice President Joe Biden announces he's staying out the race.
Looks like the junk food media was hoping that he would enter the race for the Democratic nomination, but it seems like Vice President Joe Biden will head back to Delaware for a life of retirement.
He wants to focus on helping President Barack Obama get his agenda accomplished. Biden was still focused on the death of his oldest son Beau.
He announced today that he's not running. Conservatives are so shattered over this.
They wanted Biden to take away votes from Hillary Clinton.
Clinton who regaining the lead in polls is now confident she'll become the Democratic nominee.
She and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are so far the only candidates in the race doing better then Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Larry Lessig.
Jim Webb was the first to drop out the race. His performance at the first Democratic debate was bad.
Now he's bitching about the system. He considering running as an independent.
The New York Times really needs to load Maureen Dowd in the cannon and fire her out! Dowd is such a distraction. She got it wrong again! The rumor mill started when she reported that on Beau's dying bed, he urged his father to run. He said that he wanted to keep the Clintons out the White House.
A few of the agitators got wind of comments by Biden which hinted a run. And of course, the line where he said that "Republicans aren't our enemy" remark.
When Clinton spoke at the debate about her biggest threat to governance being Republicans, Biden shot back saying that Republicans deserve respect. He refers to Republicans as opposition. The opposition that the president will have to work with.
Biden ending his bid for president put an end to months of frothy speculation in the press, in which a seemingly endless supply of anonymous "friends," confidants," "advisers," "sources," and "Democrats" told the junk food media that he was likely getting in the race.
Did you know that Mediaite ranked her and that annoying conservative agitator as some of the worst commentators in the junk food media?
The insurgents who make up the Freedom Caucus vow to derail any Republican willing to work with President Barack Obama.
Some of the candidates running for Weeper of the House include: Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) and Rep. Jason Chaffettz (R-UT). They are running for the spot now that Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) left abruptly. He vows to leave Congress before the end of the year.
The turmoil began when Boehner's handpicked successor Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) screwed up on that annoying conservative agitator's show. He told the viewers that the Benghazi select committee was devoted to destroying Hillary Clinton at the polls. That created a shit storm within the party.
Before McCarthy was to place his bid in, he abruptly took his name out the running. Allegations of ineptness and an affair with Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) have swirled around the grapevine.
McCarthy is now fighting to stay on as Majority Leader.
Now the next handpicked candidate for the job, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Ryan is the former 2012 vice presidential nominee for the perennial loser Mitt Romney. The Wisconsin lawmaker is from Janesville and became a "rock star" during the debate over the debt ceiling.
Ryan kept a relatively low profile after the crushing defeat. He hasn't spoken much to Romney.
Ryan chairs the House Ways and Means Committee.
Ryan isn't really interested in the gig but is willing to do so for the sake of the party. The consideration of Ryan becoming the next Weeper has the junk food media talking.
The other candidates, nearly a dozen, all lack Ryan's stature and broad support and it's not clear if any of them could gather the needed backing to become speaker.
With the speculation of Ryan jumping in, conservatives are crying foul. They believe that Ryan is a "loser" and too cozy with Boehner. The outgoing Minority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) had praised Ryan for being a leader that could help move America forward.
They think he's soft on immigration and entitlement reform.
Ryan is a fiscal and social conservative.
Ryan wants a plurality of support from Republicans. He doesn't want no obstruction. He wants the Republicans to suck it up and help move the government forward.
Ryan made clear that family comes first and said he would be spending less time on the road than Boehner, who traveled nearly every weekend raising money for the party. Ryan, by contrast, has three school-age kids in Janesville, and wants to be able to continue to spend plenty of time with them.
"I genuinely worry about the consequences that my agreeing to serve will have on them. Will they experience the viciousness and incivility that we all face here on a daily basis?" Ryan said. "But my greatest worry, my greatest worry is the consequence of not stepping up, of someday having my own kids ask me, 'When the stakes were so high, why didn't you do all you could do, why didn't you stand and fight for my future?' "
Any thoughts on Ryan's potential run for the Weeper of the House?
Justin Trudeau will be sworn as the new Prime Minister of Canada.
Canada has a new leader. After a decade of conservative rule, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be heading for the door soon. Ottawa's got a new prime minister. He's the son of a legendary leader.
Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party came to town.
A young fresh face willing to turn Canada back around. The politico is the "Barack Obama" of the north. His wife is Canadian news agitator Sophie Gregoire. They have three children.
Trudeau, 43, the photogenic son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, pledged to run a C$10 billion annual budget deficit for three years to invest in infrastructure and help stimulate Canada's anemic economic growth.
This rattled financial markets in the runnup to the vote and the Canadian dollar weakened on news of his victory.
Trudeau has said he will repair Canada's cool relations with the Obama administration, withdraw Canada from the combat mission against Islamic State militants in favor of humanitarian aid and training, and tackle climate change.
Trudeau vaulted from third place to lead the polls in the final days of the campaign, overcoming Conservative attacks that he is too inexperienced to govern to return to the Prime Minister's residence in Ottawa where he grew up as a child.
"When the time for change strikes, it's lethal," former Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said in a television interview. "I ran and was successful because I wasn't Pierre Trudeau. Justin is successful because he isn't Stephen Harper."
The Conservatives were projected to become the official opposition in Parliament, with the left-leaning New Democratic Party in third.
American conservatives lose an ally. The Conservative Party and its chief Prime Minister Stephen Harper were crushed in the National Party Elections.
Liberal supporters at the party's campaign headquarters broke into cheers and whistles when television projected that Trudeau would be the next prime minister.
Top Trudeau advisor Gerald Butts tweeted "Amazing work #TeamTrudeau. Breathtaking really."
At the Conservative election headquarters in Calgary, where Harper is due to speak later, supporters sat quietly, staring at giant TV screens as the results poured in.
The Conservatives weren't the only party that appeared headed for a crushing defeat. The third place left-leaning New Democratic Party's fall was highlighted in Quebec, where it had the majority of its seats.
Radio Canada projected it would end up with just seven seats, down from 54 in the last Parliament.
The Liberals' win marks a swing toward a more multilateral approach in global politics by the Canadian government, which has distanced itself from the United Nations in recent years.
The former teacher took charge of the party just two years ago and guided it out of the political wilderness with a pledge of economic stimulus and stirring appeals for a return to social liberalism.
The United States and Canada are strong allies.
Born to a sitting prime minister who came to power in 1968 on a wave of popular support dubbed "Trudeaumania," Trudeau will become the second-youngest prime minister in Canadian history and brings an appeal more common in movie stars than statesmen.
Pierre once jumped from a trampoline into the crowd. With boyish good looks, Justin thrusts himself into throngs and puts his hand to his heart when listening to someone.
Say hi to the world's most beautiful couple. Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire.
Selfie requests are so common he happily takes the camera and snaps the photo himself, often cheek to cheek. He is the married father of three young children.
Criticized for being more style than substance, Trudeau has used attacks on his good looks and privileged upbringing to win over voters, who recalled his father's rock-star presence and an era when Canada had some sizzle on the world stage.
Pierre Trudeau, who died in 2000, was in power for 15 years - with a brief interruption - and remains one of the few Canadian leaders to be known abroad.
Single when he took power, the elder Trudeau dated movie stars and models before marrying. He had three boys while prime minister, the eldest of whom now succeeds him in the nation's top office.
Financial market players had praised the Conservative government for its steady hand in economic management, which had spared Canada the worst of the global financial malaise. Trudeau has also promised to raise taxes on high-income Canadians and reduce them for the middle class.
Political pundits have already began to speculate on the makeup of a Trudeau government while pondering what caused the downfall of Harper, 56, who has been criticized for his aloof personality but won credit for economic management in a decade of global fiscal uncertainty.
Jim Webb is out. He is considering a run as an independent. He can't cut it as a Democratic candidate.
The former Virginia senator will bow out today. Jim Webb is totally disgruntled with the Democratic Party. He believes that the junk food media failed to give him, Martin O'Malley and Lincoln Chafee an opportunity to shine.
Like your disastrous debate performance wasn't a factor?
Now he's going to make his announcement to drop out. He is considering a run as a "NO LABELS" independent.
He cites his dismal poll numbers as well as the Democrats pulling to the left as a reason for dropping out. He figures that if people start to notice him as an independent, he may have a shot.
Webb is not planning to announce an independent bid on today. Webb is "expected to take some time after his announcement to talk with people from across the political spectrum before making a decision."
Webb has struggled to raise cash against his Democratic opponents and has reported taking in just under $697,000 in his recent filing statement with less than $317,000 on hand — less than Harvard law professor Larry Lessig, who did not qualify for last week's debate in Las Vegas, an event where Webb felt he did not get enough time to speak. In the same period, Hillary Clinton raised nearly $30 million with $25.7 million on hand.
Yawn.
Will Joe Biden jump in this race or not?
The junk food media is obsessed with Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Ben Carson and Bernie Sanders. Each of these candidate got a majority of the attention. The rest of them are struggling for at least some recognition.
While Republicans are seeking opportunities to destroy Hillary Clinton, the Democrats are watching the infighting of Republicans come to the surface.
It's looking like a two-man race. Donald Trump and Ben Carson will be assisted with Secret Service detail soon. The rest of the candidates are blips on the radar. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz are still in this. The rest of them are barely charting.
Republican National Party chairman Reince Priebus is getting frustrated with infighting and the insurgents destroying the party's platform.
But wait, don't the Democrats have their problems too?
Yup.
It's out in the open that Democratic National Party chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) is feuding with her co-chair Rep. Tulisi Gabbard (D-HI) over the direction of the party.
