I'm proud to be...me! Rachel Dolezal comes out of hiding to tell the public that she's pregnant. By the way, she's White.
The former NAACP president who brought her "faux pas" to the junk food media announced she is pregnant. Oh, by the way, she admits that she is a White woman. She's also admits she's bisexual.
This woman is a hot mess.
Rachel Dolezal became a lightening rod for the agitators in the media. Despite all the good she's done for the civil rights organization, she hid the fact that she was a White woman portraying herself as a Black woman.
Dolezal's own parents "outed" her as a White woman. They told the junk food media that she was born in Montana. She wasn't adopted. She does volunteer work for the community. She was infatuated with Black culture. She lied to get into Howard University. She married a Black man. She adopted two Black teen boys. She even tries to talk "Black".
The junk food media sought interviews with her and wanted to know why did she fake the funk!
Dolezal refuses to be called a White woman. She says that she's a product of African roots.
The Real got an opportunity to talk to her.
She also addresses her feud with her family.
The Real co-hosts Tamar Braxton and Loni Love asked Dolezal about the matter sans pretense.
“It was hurtful to a lot of Black women,” said Love. “There were some people who felt that you never identified yourself as white so when you went to Howard University. Some people felt like they never knew you were Black, and so maybe the scholarship, you know when you got admitted to Howard, that took an opportunity from a Black woman.”
Rachel Dolezal talks about her ordeal and her pregnancy. She gets a grilling from Loni Love and Tamar Braxton.
“Right, and that’s why I said, I acknowledge that I was biologically born white to white parents, but I identify as Black,” Dolezal responded.
Whether or not her admitting to being born white was enough, Braxton pushed the issue further and asked what ethnicity Dolezal lists herself as in official forms and documentation. Say, if she were to fill out a job application. Dolezal’s response?
“The form in particular usually defines things,” she said, before adding: “I check white and black, because we all have human origins in the continent of Africa.”
Dolezal did receive a standing ovation from the crowd for admitting her white heritage, as well as for her supposedly being honest while answering the co-hosts’ questions.
Harvard professor Lawrence Lessig ends his presidential run.
Now the Democrats have three candidates.
Harvard professor Larry Lessig bows out. He wanted to take big money out of these elections. Lessig believes that the junk food media wasn't taking his candidacy seriously.
By him bowing out of the race, it leaves Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Hillary Clinton and Martin O'Malley.
Clinton is leading in most polls. Bernie is catching up. O'Malley is still a blip on the radar.
Lessig is likely going to endorse a Green Party candidate. He, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee are pretty upset with Democratic National Party leader Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) and co-chair Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI).
The two lawmakers are feuding over the direction of the party.
Lessig believes that the Democrats are totally fucked up. They banned him from the debates. Even though he ranked at 1.3% in the national polls, the DNC says that he's not qualified.
I am guessing that he'll avoid endorsing the candidates. I am certain that he'll throw his chips into the Green Party and their possible candidate Dr. Jill Stein.
Target announces another round of closings. Springfield, Ohio loses its only store.
Springfield, Ohio was dealt a blow. The Minneapolis based retailer announced another round of closings. The closings are affecting areas where they claim sales are in decline.
In the latest rounds of closings, the First Avenue location is on the list. The only Target store in the area will close in January.
That leaves Dayton metropolitan area four area locations. Huber Heights, Beavercreek, Centerville, and Miamisburg locations are still open for the time being.
Since 2013, the areas surrounding the Upper Valley Mall and Bechtle Avenue shopping district were hit with retail closing up.
When it was announced J.C. Penny and Macy's were closing in the same period, it put the nail in the coffin for the Upper Valley Mall. It's now declared a dead mall.
Springfield Ohio's only Target store is closing.
The mall is in receivership and the property's only anchor store Sears is considering closing.
The property hasn't secure a major anchor since the announcement.
The Bon Ton Corporation which owns Dayton-based Elder-Beerman closed first. Then Macy's and later J.C. Penny.
The Springfield city and township leaders are hoping that Hobby Lobby and Dick's Sporting Goods brings a little bit of good news to the area.
The Columbus area took a hit as well. Despite having the Hollywood Casino in the area, the Westland Mall is officially dead and everything around it is dying as well.
The Target Graceland location on West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio is closing in January.
Target had closed all its Canadian stores in 2014-15. The 133 stores operated independently of the Target Corporation. It pull completely out of the country.
Target is trying to rebrand its image. They recently aired promotional for The Peanuts Movie and a cameo appearance from Brian and Stewie from Fox's Family Guy.
Insurgent Matt Bevin shakes hands with Democrat in name only Attorney General Jack Conway.
The state is Cook Political Voting index value +13 Republican. The state supported George W. Bush, John McCain and perennial loser Mitt Romney. The last Democrat in national office to win this state was Bill Clinton. The state has a term limit governor. And now is it possible that Democrats can hold on to a state that supports Republicans in 2:1 ratio?
Democrats in Kentucky are voting for Republicans.
These so-called Reagan Democrats exist in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
There's a razor thin lead for the Democratic nominee against the Republican nominee. The nominees are both worthless. They are also-rans who lack charisma.
But one thing could impact this election: Medicare. Kentucky voters support the state's health care exchange. They don't see it as Obamacare. They see it as "healthy Kentucky".
Republicans didn't pour a lot of money into insurgent Matt Bevin's campaign. Bevin is a perennial candidate for House, Senate and now the governor's race. Bevin is determined to make a name for himself.
Conway is a perennial candidate who lost to Rand Paul in 2010. He just kept a low profile for the time and decided that it could better choice to run for governor than a rematch against Paul.
The conservative agitators have ignored Bevin. Even during the Kim Davis fiasco, Republicans haven't put much into this race.
Many see Bevin as out of the mainstream. But does it mean it's not capable of pulling it off?
Hell Bevin could win this.
Democrats ain't really got much to celebrate. Whether Conway wins or not, they can't rely on him.
I can picture Conway being a thorn in President Barack Obama's skin. He will find ways to blame the president for "attacking the coal industry".
The Texas senator lit a fire in the conservatives. When he was asked a question about his opposition to raising the debt ceiling and budget bill, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that the question represents why the public (i.e. conservatives) don't trust the media.
That set off a week of concern trolling. They seriously believe that the moderators were bias to them.
Cruz went to that right wing network to talk to the most annoying conservative agitator on cable news. He said that he rather have him. that old fart Limbaugh, that ratface Mark Levin and crazy snot Glenn Beck moderate the next debates.
Cruz said that the RNC must vet moderators. Question them on their voting standings.
This is the aftermath of the CNBC Republican debate. The Republicans once again bitching about the debate rules. They have demands.
They are now feuding with the RNC chief Reince Priebus over how they handle debates. Some of the demands include luxury green rooms, bloviating time and a list of many other concerns.
On Friday, the RNC dumped NBC News from sponsoring a Feb. 26 debate of presidential candidates in the fallout over the debate conducted by media partner CNBC last Wednesday that was roundly criticized by the candidates.
Several campaigns want to change the debate format because of concerns that too many candidates in the crowded Republican field for the party's 2016 presidential nomination are on stage and do not get enough time to speak.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus cited "bad faith" in announcing the party will suspend its partnership with NBC News for the February debate to be held in Houston. Telemundo and the National Review are co-sponsors of the event.
Will the Republicans bashing of the junk food media backfire?
Priebus told NBC in a letter that the committee wanted to ensure its candidates would be given a "full and fair" opportunity to lay out their political visions.
The CNBC debate in Boulder, Colorado, last Wednesday was designed to be devoted to discussing the candidates' views on how to improve the U.S. economy, but frequently strayed from that theme and the moderators struggled to maintain control.
"While debates are meant to include tough questions and contrast candidates' visions and policies for the future of America, CNBC's moderators engaged in a series of 'gotcha' questions, petty and mean-spirited in tone, and designed to embarrass our candidates," Priebus wrote.
The Republican National Committee, facing growing concerns by some presidential candidates about the format of future debates after last week's contentious encounter on CNBC, has appointed an official to work with the campaigns and TV networks.
An RNC official said on Sunday the committee named its chief operating officer, Sean Cairncross, to help negotiate debate terms with the networks.
Fred Thompson was a senator, presidential candidate, talk radio host and actor. He gained critical acclaim as being the hardliner Manhattan District Attorney Arthur Branch on Law & Order.
The former Tennessee senator and 2008 Republican presidential candidate passed away today confirms his family. He passed away in his hometown of Nashville, TN today.
CNN reports that Thompson had cancer.
Thompson died after a recurrence of lymphoma, his family said in a statement Sunday. He was first diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma more than a decade ago.
"It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of grief that we share the passing of our brother, husband, father, and grandfather who died peacefully in Nashville surrounded by his family," the statement read.
Thompson, a Republican, won a special election in 1994 to fill Al Gore's vacate U.S. Senate seat. He was re-elected for a full term two years later and announced in 2002 that he would not run again.
As an actor, Thompson appeared in the films "The Hunt for Red October," "Die Hard 2" and "In the Line of Fire," among others.
"Fred stood on principle and common sense, and had a deep love for and connection with the people across Tennessee whom he had the privilege to serve in the United States Senate. He enjoyed a hearty laugh, a strong handshake, a good cigar, and a healthy dose of humility," his family said.
"Fred was the same man on the floor of the Senate, the movie studio, or the town square of Lawrenceburg, his home."
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Fred Thompson.

Last week, three people were shot and wounded during a large house party near the Tennessee State University campus.
The biggest endorsement for the Florida senator is a big bundler for the Republican Party. This bundler gave millions to Republicans like the perennial loser Mitt Romney.
Paul Singer a mega donor came out in favor of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). Singer was a supporter of Jeb Bush. He flipped the script on Bush and cashed in on Rubio.
This is a big blow to the Bush campaign.
"He is accustomed to thinking about American foreign policy as a responsible policy maker," the hedge fund manager wrote. "He is ready to be an informed and assertive decision-maker." Rubio is the "best explainer of conservatism in public life today" and can "appeal to both the head and the heart," wrote Singer, describing the senator as the only candidate who can "navigate this complex primary process" and go on to defeat Hillary Clinton.
Money man gave Sen. Marco Rubio a $$$$$$$$$$ contract.
Bush, whose campaign warned donors last week that Rubio is a "risky bet," tried hard to win Singer's support, as did Chris Christie. Sources tell the Times that there was no single moment when the billionaire decided on Rubio, although Bush's dismal debate performance didn't help his cause. At a campaign event in Iowa on Friday, Rubio said he welcomed Singer's support, though he added that "resources alone are not enough" and "you have to have the right ideas and the right principles and convince people that you’re the right person for the job," the Guardian reports. He declined to address Bush's attacks on him, saying he doesn't think "it is a smart thing for Republicans to do Hillary Clinton’s job for her."
Singer warned Republicans that if they continue to push the anti-gay agenda, he might pull back on them. Singer is a strong supporter of Israel. Singer has a son who is gay.
Deso Dogg gave up hip-hop to join foreign extremists. The U.S. served him a rocket.
Scratch that: He is still alive!
Denis Cuspert left the rap game for the jihad. The former German rapper who went by the name Deso Dogg was one of the militants killed in a U.S. airstrike in Syria.
He ended his rap career after converting to Islam and taking the name Abou Maleeq. He left Germany for Egypt and eventually Syria, where he fought with the jihadist anti-government forces in the Syrian Civil War, under the nom de guerre of Abu Talha Al-Almani (meaning The German Abu Talha).
He was injured during the fighting in the northern-Syrian town of Azaz in an air-strike conducted by the Syrian Army. In 2014 he gave his oath of allegiance to Islamist-Jihadi group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
The United States Department of State added Cuspert to its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
This was Deso Dogg's posse. The Western nations want this posse eliminated.
Being placed on that list usually means that if there's an attempt of capture, it's likely the target will be killed. The U.S. expected that his capture could result in a deadly encounter.
Cuspert was killed in a US airstrike near Al-Raqqah, Syria, according to a US Department of Defense spokesperson. According to German terrorism expert Florian Flande, a resident of Raqqa broke the news of Cuspert's death on October 17, 2015.
Be warned his lyrics are explicit and some of the language in German and English.
Republicans chairman Reince Priebus bans NBC from debates.
I can imagine the concern trolls saying that the Democrats did it to that right wing network when then senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton boycotted the debate in Nevada.
I remember over at Steve Doocy's Playhouse, the agitators told their viewers about Obama attending a radical Islamic madrassah and it was being spread around by Clinton's operatives.
Obama blasted the network for misleading the notion that he's a Muslim. What made him boycott the event? Well it had to be the head hancho over at that network. Chief Roger made an inappropriate joke about Obama. That was the last straw for Obama.
He froze the network out for nearly a year. It took Rupert Murdoch to broker peace with the network.
To this day, President Barack Obama looks at that network as "the opposition". He believes that he won't be able to talk about issues on that network. He believe that network attacks him and his allies for ratings. He cites that annoying conservative agitator as one of the reasons to why that network isn't friendly to him or Democrats.
NBC News disappointed that Republicans bowed out.
The network fired back at the Democrats by saying they've caved to the pressures of liberal activist groups such as MoveOn.org. They said that if you can't handle us, you can't be the president.
Now it seems like history is repeating itself.
The Republican National Committee is doing damage control after Republican candidates complained about the debate on CNBC. Some of the candidates were pissed they didn't get a lofty green room and the questions didn't focus on real matters.
Today it seems like the Republican leader caved to pressure from the candidates. Reince Priebus formally banned NBC from participating in debates. That includes Spanish network Telemundo.
I just sent this letter to NBC News suspending our partnership for the February Debate: https://t.co/MVke5m2EBm
Reince Priebus release a statement in regards to the CNBC debate. He said that he's no longer going to invest time in working with NBC.
Mr. Andrew Lack
Chairman, NBC News
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, New York 10112
Dear Mr. Lack,
I write to inform you that pending further discussion between the Republican National Committee (RNC) and our presidential campaigns, we are suspending the partnership with NBC News for the Republican primary debate at the University of Houston on February 26, 2016. The RNC’s sole role in the primary debate process is to ensure that our candidates are given a full and fair opportunity to lay out their vision for America’s future. We simply cannot continue with NBC without full consultation with our campaigns.
The CNBC network is one of your media properties, and its handling of the debate was conducted in bad faith. We understand that NBC does not exercise full editorial control over CNBC’s journalistic approach. However, the network is an arm of your organization, and we need to ensure there is not a repeat performance.
CNBC billed the debate as one that would focus on “the key issues that matter to all voters—job growth, taxes, technology, retirement and the health of our national economy.” That was not the case. Before the debate, the candidates were promised an opening question on economic or financial matters. That was not the case. Candidates were promised that speaking time would be carefully monitored to ensure fairness. That was not the case. Questions were inaccurate or downright offensive. The first question directed to one of our candidates asked if he was running a comic book version of a presidential campaign, hardly in the spirit of how the debate was billed.
While debates are meant to include tough questions and contrast candidates’ visions and policies for the future of America, CNBC’s moderators engaged in a series of “gotcha” questions, petty and mean-spirited in tone, and designed to embarrass our candidates. What took place Wednesday night was not an attempt to give the American people a greater understanding of our candidates’ policies and ideas.
I have tremendous respect for the First Amendment and freedom of the press. However, I also expect the media to host a substantive debate on consequential issues important to Americans. CNBC did not.
While we are suspending our partnership with NBC News and its properties, we still fully intend to have a debate on that day, and will ensure that National Review remains part of it.
I will be working with our candidates to discuss how to move forward and will be in touch.
Sincerely,
Reince Priebus
Chairman, Republican National Committee
Quick poll.
What are your thoughts on the GOP banning NBC?
Like I've said in the previous posting. NBC and other networks should tell Republicans to "go fuck themselves". They should say to Priebus, "Fine, we'll no longer cover Republicans".
Good luck on winning votes.
Let the Republicans grant all their debates to that right wing network, Newsmax, The Blaze, Cumulus, Salem Radio and iHeart Media. Let them deal with all the Republican debates.
Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki, John Kasich, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum, Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush needs the junk food media more than they need them.
I mean if you're that petty over a few questions, how can you deal with a real issue?
If you believe that the decision was a good idea or a bad idea, vote in our poll.
The aftermath of the Republican debate. CNBC defends its moderators after a handful of Republican candidates went off on them. The Republican candidates claim that the moderators didn't treat them fairly.
Reince Priebus went on that annoying conservative agitator's program to bitch about how CNBC messed up. Now the Republican National Committee officially suspends NBC handling of debates.
I am sure NBC will fire back at the RNC.
They tossed out the media bias bone and now conservatives are extremely livid.
Many agitators in the junk food media (i.e. conservatives) claim that they've proven a point.
Instead of answering the questions, the candidates will deflect from the question to attack the moderator. They believe it's their key to winning the Republican primary. I hear that the Republican candidates want the national party leaders to vet the moderators.
If you can't answer a few goddamn questions, how can you be the President of the United States?
Anyway one candidate didn't speak about the debate. He managed to dodge questions about being on "dire condition". Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is facing harsh criticism. Many believe his debate performance was a disaster. Many believe the Bush was a shoe in for the nomination.
Bush had face self-inflicted wounds and a mighty insurgent Donald Trump. Post debate, I am assuring that Bush is running either ahead of Mike Huckabee or behind Carly Fiorina.
Bush wanted to knock Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for being an inept lawmaker. Rubio went around and backhanded Bush. They were once friends in the Florida state house. It turns out that the bad blood was spilled on Wednesday night.
Most in the junk food media concludes that Rubio, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump survived the cut.
There's going to be another debate on the networks. I can bet you money, they're going to be more attacks at the moderators and more diversion tactics.
Still charting the wrong course, Reince Priebus decides to put NBC on ice. Suspends partnership with Telemundo and NBC.
I hear the calls of boycott.
The concern trolls want to boycott debates sponsored by CBS, ABC, CNN, Bloomberg, PBS, Telemundo and Univision. According to the concern trolls, the networks are liberal. NBC already got hit with a boycott.
If I was the presidents of these networks, I would tell them to "go fuck yourselves".
I would say, "Fine, we'll no longer cover Republicans". Good luck on winning votes. Let the Republicans grant all their debates to that right wing network, Newsmax, The Blaze, Cumulus, Salem Radio and iHeart Media. Let them deal with all the Republican debates.
The executives should ban all Republicans from appearing on their networks. Let them bitch about that. Tell them that you can't be President of the United States if you're constantly complaining about not getting your way.
President Barack Obama faces a barrage of attacks from the junk food media. He brushes it off. Sometimes when gets annoyed with the junk food media, he let's them have it. The junk food media covered Hilary Clinton in a negative light. Benghazi and email server stories were plaguing the campaign. It wasn't her fault that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) blabbed out the objective.
Since the junk food media is invested in the entertainment concept such as that right wing network, they try to cave to Republicans petty and frankly childish demands.
Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki, John Kasich, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum, Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush needs the junk food media more than they need them.
