This sponge soak got irate at a man who was doing a Muslim prayer at a San Francisco park.
The rhetoric of Donald Trump and the other clowns running has created this negative backlash.
Now a California state worker may face a cannon firing after a video showing her getting into a verbal tirade with a man who was holding a Muslim prayer at a San Francisco park.
Rasheed Albeshari whipped out the camera and filmed the woman holding a coffee cup berating him over his religion.
When a park ranger told the woman to move along, she gets into another verbal argument with Rasheed and then tossed the hot stuff on him.
The name of the woman was released by the San Francisco Chronicle. Denise Slader is now getting her share of death threats from the trolls and outraged.
Albeshari who lives in San Francisco and drives for Uber and Lyft when not studying at the City College of San Francisco decided to get out of the car and take a video of the incident. He said he and his friends had initially gone to the park to barbecue and play volleyball.
“I would have never thought this would happen specifically, in California and in the Bay Area," he said, adding that he moved to the region from North Carolina.
Still, he said, the Bay Area is home.
"This is where I live and I'm going to stay here, I'm going nowhere, because I love this place, even though this lady tried to make a hateful place but she failed," he said.
Albeshari, 31, said he's been flooded with messages and calls of support since he posted the video.
"It's just amazing how Americans are," he said. "It's overwhelming to see all that support."
Slader told KTVU that she "wanted to tell them about Christ and that what they're doing, what they believe in, their Allah that he was praying to right there in the park openly, is not of god, it's of the devil."
She said that "the self-defense part of me as a human being kicked in, and I hit the camera with my umbrella."
A man who answered the phone at Slader's Castro Valley home on Wednesday morning said she was not available to speak.
I'm an American. I have a right to pray in my country.
The incident posted on social media went viral. The junk food media had to find out whether this woman resided in the area. It turns out that she not only lives in San Francisco, but works at the iron college.
She is a program technician in the parole division. A spokesman for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says that Slader is treading on thin ice.
The law may charge Slader with a hate crime. That crime alone could have her seeing the inside of the job she once worked for. A hate crime charge in California could carry up to ten years.
Slader is innocent until proven guilty.
World News Today wishes Rasheed Albeshari and his family well on their journey.
#Islamophobia After praying, this lady approached us and started yelling at us that we're brainwashed for believing in Allah, "Allah is evil" she said. I started video taping her, I ,also, was hit by an umbrella before taking a shower of coffee right on my face. And what happened next was this..

Sofia Vergara joins entertainers in a public service announcement demanding Congress pass reasonable gun control laws. I can imagine Republicans are going to ignore them. I can see conservative agitators call them "limousine liberals".
Amy Schumer, Julliane Moore, Jennifer Anniston, Sarah Silverman, Sofia Vergara, Sarah Silverman, Nathan Lane, Debra Messing, Kevin Bacon, Michael J. Fox, Olivia Munn, and Kristen Schaal joined the president in a PSA. The entertainers plea to Congress do something about gun violence.
The PSA is called "We Can End Gun Violence".
"This new video sends a clear message that we will rally together to help end gun violence. The gun safety movement has grown tremendously over the past few years and what’s more: we’re winning. We’re defeating the gun lobby in statehouses across the country and making it clear that we won’t sit idly by while 88 Americans are killed by gun violence every day and hundreds more are injured," President Barack Obama said.
The recent San Bernardino shootings are now being morphed into an Islamic State themed terrorist attack. The terrorists murdered 14 people and injured 31. They were killed in a hail of gunfire.
The one before that was Colorado Springs. The terrorists was shooting at law enforcement and residents fleeing from the Planned Parenthood location. The terrorist murdered 3 people and injured 12. The law managed to apprehend the terrorist. He will face a jury on capital murder.
The one that didn't catch too much attention was in Colorado Springs. The terrorist went on to murder 4 people and injure many before the law put him down quickly.
The one before that was Umpqua Community College. The terrorist went on to murder 10 people and injure many before he would take his own life.
And we can go on and on and on and on....
The #NotOneMore campaign is launched by the Organizing for America campaign. The president is pressing for reasonable gun control laws.
Now Americans are starting to notice that gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.
#BlackLivesMatter, the Council on American Islam Relations (CAIR), Planned Parenthood, and other organizations are rallying people to demand change. They are demanding for Congress to change course or face an usurping.
Amy Schumer.
It's starting to work in a slow, painful and yes frustrating way.
People in the city of Chicago are calling for the firing of Rahm Emmanuel. The embattled mayor has seen his city seen mass murder on a daily basis. Even the police force is committing mass murder.
The people of Baltimore managed to get Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to fire herself out the cannon. Baltimore has seen many mass murders within this year. That doesn't include the death of Freddie Gray.
Jon Stewart of Comedy Central came to The Daily Show recently to slam House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate leader Mitch McConnell for failing to pass a simple law. He demands Congress pass the 9/11 Responders Health bill. Stewart was frustrated with lawmakers inserting partisan pork into bipartisan bills so they can blame the president for a government shutdown.
Stewart retired from the show and passed it to Trevor Noah.
These latest actions are starting to get attention by the junk food media. The junk food media is also getting tired of being labeled "liberal" by the agitators and presidential candidates. The junk food media gave the Republicans 3:1 television coverage.
And yet, the conservative concern trolls ignore all the pleas.
I've seen it in the comment section. I've seen it in the social media pages. I've heard it on radio, teleivsion, print, and internet websites. All I hear from conservatives is tongue and nothing more.
Republicans are so freaking inept. The Republican candidates running for president, the Congress and the conservative agitators spent more time pissing off Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and women.
Liberalism (or perhaps progressive views) are on the rise in the United States. Conservatives are trying to delay and/or deny the inevitable.
They don't see that their policies are out of touch with the United States. The rise of Donald Trump is possibly one of the recent surges in conservatism.
I can imagine that annoying conservative agitator calling them limousine liberals.
I guess Donald Trump's comments were the last straw for the conservative agitator CJ Pearson. He formally denounced conservatives and threw his support to Bernie Sanders.
The internet sensation decided to give up on conservatism. After seeing the reactions towards Laquan McDonald, the Muslim community and a handful of death threats sent his way, CJ Pearson has given up his conservative ways.
In early 2015, CJ Pearson lit into President Barack Obama. He won praise from the likes of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, that old fart Limbaugh and that annoying conservative agitator.
He became famous for saying that Obama doesn't love America because he doesn't recognized the threat of the "conservatives word vomit de jour of 'radical Islam'".
Now he finally said "enough is enough". He said he's done going after the president. He said that he'll endorse Bernie Sanders for president.
The conservatives weren't pleased about Pearson's latest change of heart. Matter of fact, he probably got a lot of "extremist rhetoric" from his former supporters.
Erick Erickson's Redstate decided to send Pearson a parting shot.
Bernie Sanders won him a fan. The conservative agitator CJ Pearson toned down his rhetoric.
Erickson told Person to stop embarrassing himself, shut up, and go live life.
"[CJ], Pay attention to politics, but also pay attention to movies, sports, girls, your parents, your preacher, and your surroundings. Come back when you are eighteen, your voice has deepened, and you’ve passed your final growth spurt. Because about the time you stop growing externally, that’s when you really start growing internally. Your body takes the intellectual nutrition you are consuming now as a kid and grows it into the man you will be. Social media attention is not intellectual nutrition", said Erickson.
"Right now you are a kid. If you want fame on social media that bad right now, the man you grow into is going to be twisted up with shallow roots. You’re going to get blown over in a breeze. So get off social media and go play," the conservative agitator added.
In the state of Florida, a robbery suspect met an untimely fate. Matthew Riggins wanted to geek people of their properties. He was "out on bail" when was prowling around the Brevard County subdivisions. He and his partner were snooping through a yard when someone called the law on them. They were dressed in black and it was dark in the city of Barefoot Bay.
The law quickly arrived to the area. The two men decided to split. In order to not be caught, Riggins told his girlfriend that he's going to be on the run for a minute, he'll call her when the heat dies down.
The partner went towards the streets, Riggins ran toward a lake.
Riggins was hiding in the brush. And he didn't know that nature's fury was calling.
Well Riggins never called. His family reported him missing. Many in the area say that something was lurking in the brushes. They knew the area near the lake was extremely dangerous.
It was ten days later, the Brevard County sheriff's dive team found the problem. The problem was resting near a nest with a nearly decapitated body of Riggins. The body of Riggins was found in November. It was finally confirmed by the state bag 'em ups.
That problem was an 11 foot alligator. The alligator had drowned Riggins, a 6'1", 22 year old man and decapitated his arm and foot. That's what the trappers found inside the stomach of the alligator.
They had to put it down after the alligator got aggressive.
This was the second fatal alligator attack in less than two months. James Okkerse met his fate to a 12 foot alligator. Okkerse was swimming in a state park and the alligator got him.
World News Today send our condolences to Matt Riggins and James Okkerse.
American Alligators are crocodiles. The alligator's habitat stretches in the bayous of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.
I had read a blog on how the South treated slaves. This is the type of stuff that could spark extremism in the Black community.
In the day of slavery, White men and their sons would steal babies and small children of slaves. They would use these innocent babies as alligator bait.
Often they would tie the baby by the neck and torso. As the baby was screaming, these men would dunk the baby in the water to attract the alligators. It was told that the alligator would almost immediately swallow the baby. The men would grab the alligator out the water and hit the creature over the head with a pick ax and let it bleed to death. They would skin the creature for meat and its skin.
This practice carried into the early 20th Century. Mind you that the slavery days have passed since the Civil War and the Reconstruction.
Mayor Rahm Emmanuel at first didn't see the problem with the Chicago Police. The recent release of the Laqaun McDonald video shows more than just a problem, it shows an epidemic.
The Chicago police is under federal investigation. The U.S. Justice Department is looking into police brutality, corruption and misconduct. Emanuel said he welcomes the investigation and promised the city's total cooperation in achieving the "mutual goal" of keeping Chicago safe while respecting citizens' rights.
"Nothing is more important to me than the safety and well-being of our residents and ensuring that the men and women of our Police Department have the tools, resources and training they need to be effective crime fighters, stay safe and build community trust," Emanuel said in a statement.
He later told reporters that the city will be made better because of the investigation.
"We accept it, and we need it," he said, describing the current moment as an inflection point.
"None of the measures we have taken have ever measured up to the seriousness, the scope, the scale of the challenge in front of us as a city," Emanuel said.
I mean it's not the type of stuff you find on Mike & Molly, Chicago PD, and The Chicago Code.
Two disturbing videos were released by the Chicago prosecutor Anita Alverez.
The first video shows the Chicago Police shooting upon a fleeing suspect.
The second video shows the Chicago Police using a Taser on an unruly suspect in Cook County lockup. Philip Coleman was pronounced dead on the ride to the hospital.
Each of these officers were cleared of misconduct charges.
The public is calling for a cannon firing of not only the prosecutor but the mayor as well. Many figured that political corruption kept these videos from seeing daylight.
Not going to dent him. The negative is actually helping him.
The junk food media had said this before about Donald Trump's poll numbers being in trouble.
The Republicans said that "we don't know if this could hurt Trump with the voters".
And like the last time, he ended up surging. The Republicans believe that political correctness is making their candidates too soft. They overwhelmingly support Trump when it comes to handling terrorism.
Given his lack of experience in foreign policy, many Republicans believe that if you're too much of a fixture in Washington, DC, you're a nobody to them. Even Ted Cruz suffers. He's supposed to be the anti-government lawmaker. But since he's a fixture in Washington, many Republicans don't support him.
Republicans really have a real mess on them. The insurgents still support The Donald despite all the extreme rhetoric coming out his mouth.
Last night, Trump called for a ban of all Muslims entering the United States. The remarks grew a loud applause from his supporters, widespread condemnation from the Democrats and even the Republicans.
Trump made his remarks down in South Carolina on the commemoration of the Pearl Harbor attacks.
He read from a paper remarks from the junk food media. Trump at first blast the junk food media for being dishonest in his quoting. He called the junk food media, "scum". He reads a poll from the Center for Security Policy, about foreign sentiment about America from Muslims.
The Southern Poverty Law Center said that the Center for Security Policy and its founder Frank Gaffney are anti-Islam and openly called for profiling of Muslims in the United States.
Trump gets riled up by the tragedy in San Bernardino. As he read from the paper he called for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. That remark got a thunderous applause from his crowd.
He said "we have no choice".
He finished reading the paper by saying the sentiment from Muslims towards America is hateful.
He was on the USS Yorktown and told a crowd that American Muslims justify attacks on the country and support Shir'a law. The comments he read came from the Center for Security Policy.
For the Republicans, they likely agree with Trump's remarks. They just don't say that shit in the public venue. They say this shit behind closed doors and through dog whistle politics. Matter of fact, they wished they could have said what Trump said but they don't say it like that.
They usually motivated by the words "radical Islam". Trump's remarks are equal to what the Republicans and their conservative allies say about Muslim everyday.
Here's our poll
Do you believe that Trump's remarks will doom the Republican Party?
View the video in its complete form. Before you take our poll.
Anyway, the comments attracted major controversy. The Republican candidates quickly condemned him. Several fellow Republican presidential candidates were quick to condemn Donald Trump’s call Monday to end all Muslim entry to the United States.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham was first to respond, calling the statement "downright dangerous" to the United States, and he was quickly followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who called it "ridiculous" and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush who called Trump "unhinged."
Jeb Bush said via Twitter. "His 'policy' proposals are not serious."
John Kasich slammed Trump's "outrageous divisiveness," while a more measured Ted Cruz, who has always been cautious about upsetting Trump's supporters, said, "Well, that is not my policy."
Trump's plan also drew criticism from the heads of the Republican Party in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the first three states to vote in next year's presidential primaries.
New Hampshire GOP's chairwoman Jennifer Horn said the idea is "un-Republican. It is unconstitutional. And it is un-American," while South Carolina chairman Matt Moore said on Twitter, "As a conservative who truly cares about religious liberty, Donald Trump's bad idea and rhetoric send a shiver down my spine."
Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Trump's proposed ban would apply to "everybody," including Muslims seeking immigration visas as well as tourists seeking to enter the country.
His campaign did not immediately respond to questions about whether it would also include Muslims who are U.S. citizens and travel outside of the country, including members of the military, or how a determination of someone's religion might be made by customs and border officials.
Instead, Trump said via a campaign spokeswoman: "Because I am so politically correct, I would never be the one to say. You figure it out!"
There are more than 5,800 servicemen and women on active U.S. military duty and in the reserves who self-identify as Muslim and could be assigned to serve overseas. Trump said in an interview Monday night on the right wing network, "They'll come home." He added, "This does not apply to people living in the country, except that we have to vigilant."
It was also unclear whether Trump's ban would apply to Muslim allies in the fight against Islamic State militants. Ari Fleischer, a former aide to Republican President George W. Bush, tweeted, "Under Trump, the King Abdullah of Jordan, who is fighting ISIS, won't be allowed in the US to talk about how to fight ISIS."
But at Trump's rally in South Carolina, the proposed ban struck supporter Shelley Choquette as reasonable, because "it's not going to be forever. I think everybody needs to be checked."
Religion can factor into immigration decisions, but that typically happens when people are fleeing religious persecution. People of a particular religion may get favorable treatment by the United States, as when Russian Jews sought to leave the Soviet Union.
In the late 1800s, Congress passed legislation broadly aimed at halting Chinese immigration. But said Leti Volpp, a University of California expert on immigration law, "there is no precedent for a religious litmus test for admitting immigrants into the United States."
"Excluding almost a quarter of the world's population from setting foot in the United States based solely upon their religious identity would never pass constitutional muster," Volpp said.
Trump's proposal comes a day after President Barack Obama spoke to the nation from the Oval Office about the shootings in San Bernardino, California, which Obama said was "an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent people."
The FBI said Monday the Muslim couple who carried out the massacre had been radicalized and had taken target practice at area gun ranges, in one case within days of the attack last week that killed 14 people.
Trump's campaign has been marked by a pattern of inflammatory statements, dating back to his harsh rhetoric about Mexican immigrants. He has taken a particularly hard line against Muslims in the days since the Paris attacks, advocating enhanced surveillance of mosques due to fears over radicalization.
"Donald Trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours," said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "He and others are playing into the hands of Islamic State. This is exactly what Islamic State wants from Americans: to turn against each other."
White House spokesman Josh Earnest accused Trump of playing on people's fears and trying to tap into "a darker side, a darker element" of American society.
From the Democratic presidential campaign, Bernie Sanders said "Trump and others want us to hate all Muslims" and Hillary Clinton called the proposal "reprehensible, prejudiced and divisive."
On Capitol Hill, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said, "It's just foolish."
But will it hurt Trump in the campaign? "I have no idea," McCain said. "I thought long ago that things he said would hurt his prospects, and he continues to go up."
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has also spoke out against the comments of Trump. The civil rights organization strongly believes the rhetoric from Republicans is sparking a rise in Islamophobia. They think that Trump is a demagogue.
Out of the gutter comes Stacey Dash. Her mouth once again popped off. It got her bosses over at the right wing network pissed. She got freezer burn for cursing on the air.
Retired U.S. army colonial Ralph Peters getting freezer burn for calling President Barack Obama a pussy. He was pulled after the taping. Now here comes washed up actress and conservative agitator Stacey Dash. She found herself in the same spot because of the shit coming out her mouth.
The actress best known for being "Clueless" once again takes it a bit too far.
In regards to the president's Sunday night speech, Dash went bananas.
"It’s ridiculous," she said on Outnumbered. "His speech was an epic fail. It was like when you have to go to dinner with your parents, but you have a party to go to afterwards, that’s what it felt like."
"I did not feel any better. I didn’t feel any passion from him…" she continued. "I felt like he could give a shit– excuse me, like he could care less." The right wing network's censors were on point, however, and only the first part of the swear word made it on air.
Dash continued the tirade. "[Obama] could care less. And here we have 14 people dead. Today is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, okay? His speech should have had a lot more passion. Where is Winston Churchill when we need him, is all I have to say. We are at war. He should have said that. The fact that he said terrorism, we're all excited that he said terrorism. Big deal. What is that going to do?
Nothing."
I mean if this was the line that was crossed, I could imagine how far she'll go before she gets fired out the cannon.
Her freezer burn came swiftly. Bill Shine, the managing executive for the right wing network said that the words uttered by Dash and Peters were "totally out of line".
If this was "totally out of line", I wonder what else is said when the cameras are off!
Retired U.S. army colonial Ralph Peters got freezer burn after he went on that right wing business network to call President Barack Obama a vulgar woman's body party.
Let's put it in layman's terms: He called the president a pussy!
Stuart Varney of "Varney & Co." asked about Obama's Sunday night address on terrorism, Peters melted down.
"Well, first of all, he keeps speaking about 'we can't give into our fears.' You know, 'don't be afraid.' Look, Mr. President, we're not afraid. We're angry. We're pissed off. We're furious. We want to see you react. We want you to do something," Peters' tirade began.
"You're afraid. I mean, this guy is such a total pussy, it's stunning," Peters exploded.
"We the people, the American people, who he does not know in any intimate sort of manner. We want action. We want action against Islamic State and then when the president is telling us he is going to destroy ISIS," he continued.
"This is a president who has done more harm to American police departments than he has done to Islamic State. This is a president who restrains our military. He uses it not to defeat ISIS, but for political purposes for political cover. This is a president who doesn't want to hurt our enemies, this is a president who cares more about thugs in Guantanamo or thugs in Ferguson, Missouri, than he does about law-abiding American citizens and their right to live in safety and peace."
As the smoke cleared, Varney, who could tell Peters was "super angry," scolded his guest for using such vulgar language.
Peters apologized and Varney tried to move on. He then asked Peters if there was "anything" in the president's speech that could contribute to defeating ISIS.
"No," Peters began, "with The New York Times, he's convinced the problem is gun control -- that's what we've got to fix. And the problem is Islamic terror. Now certainly, Stuart, we could use more intelligent approaches to keeping guns out of the hands of psychotics -- the Founding Fathers did not intend for every drunk psycho to have a machine gun collection. But law-abiding Americans owning guns is not the problem here. The problem is Islamist terrorism, and the president will not even say Islamist terrorism."
Varney stopped Peters' rant again. He said Peters had used "some very strong language" about the president of the United States and that he had to ask Peters to either apologize for what he said or retract his statement.
"I apologize. I apologize," Peters said.
Trying once again to get the interview back on track, Varney asked Peters what he would have liked Obama to say during his address.
"I'm not interested in what he says anymore," Peters said. "I want him to do. I want him to act. I want him to take on Islamic State. I want him to unleash our military. And yes, Stuart, I do apologize for giving in to my anger, but I feel like you know the American people understand where I'm coming from on this. My choice of words was incorrect, but my sentiment, I think, is shared by many."
Varney then concluded the interview with a gentle admonishing of Peters.
"Calm down, lad. Calm down," Varney said.
On Monday afternoon, Bill Shine, senior executive vice president of programming for the right wing network said in a statement obtained by HuffPost that Peters' comments were "completely unacceptable for our air." Shine said the cable network does not condone the use of such language and that it had suspended Peters for two weeks.
When Republicans are running their mouths, some of the stuff they be saying is close enough to uttering Barack Obama's a NIGGER.
Liberty University president says that people should strap up if the Muslim threat comes to Lynchburg.
The racist right continues to fuel Islamophobia. They are also giving the Islamic State the reason to attack the United States. The Republicans and their conservative allies are playing the "radical Islam" drinking game.
Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, that old fart Limbaugh and that annoying conservative agitator are creating a toxic environment in the United States.
And now you can add Jerry Falwell, Jr. to the list of many agitators who play upon the fear.
He is the president of the ultra-conservative Liberty University. The university is a hub of Lynchburg, Virginia, a community that sits about 115 miles from Richmond. Falwell says that students should go ahead a strap up against "radical Islam".
He is the son of the late religious right leader Jerry Falwell. Falwell was one of the country's notorious right wing extremists. He was anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-immigrant and borderline racist.
Liberty University sits in the city of Lynchburg.
Junior was pissed over the fact President Barack Obama was calling for background checks when purchasing firearms. To the conservatives and oral rifle suckers, background checks is gun control.
He pressed students to carry weapons on campus following Wednesday’s mass shooting in San Bernardino.
"It just blows my mind that the president of the United States [says] that the answer to circumstances like that is more gun control," he said to applause.
"If some of those people in that community center had what I have in my back pocket right now …," he said while being interrupted by louder cheers and clapping. "Is it illegal to pull it out? I don’t know," he said, chuckling.
"I’ve always thought that if more good people had concealed-carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in," he says, the rest of his sentence drowned out by loud applause while he said, "and killed them."
“I just wanted to take this opportunity to encourage all of you to get your permit. We offer a free course,” he said. “Let’s teach them a lesson if they ever show up here.”
Insurgent Nevada assemblywoman Michele Fiore poses with her family and their firearms.
Gun control to a resentful White conservative is "THEY COMING FOR ME GUNS!"
Radical Islam to a resentful White conservative is "MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS", "BOMB THEM BEFORE THEY BOMB US" or "ARABS ARE TERRORISTS!"
Black Lives Matter to a resentful White conservative is "BLACKS ALWAYS BITCHING" or "THEY SUPPORT KILLING POLICE".
Immigration reform to a resentful White conservative is "SECURE THE BORDERS", "CHINA IS BAD", "SYRIA REFUGEES ARE TERRORISTS" or "MEXICANS ARE SCUM".
Planned Parenthood to a resentful White conservative is "BABY KILLING", "BLACK GENOCIDE", "BAD AS THE NAZIS" or "SELLING BABY BODY PARTS".
Liberty University is the hub of presidential candidates. Many Republican and Democratic candidates go to court the evangelical vote. Ted Cruz announced his bid for president there. Ben Carson and Bernie Sanders spoke at the university.
Famed pop singer Usher married his longtime manager Grace Miguel.
Looks like he's off the market again, ladies. The famed pop singer Usher Raymond married his longtime girlfriend Grace Miguel. Miguel is the manager of the 37-year old singer.
The couple were engaged in January 2015 after working together for a three years.
"I have an incredible partner and manager", Usher said to Billboard. "She has helped me though some of the hardest times in my life and career."
Added, Usher shared his experience with his new wife. "One thing that has come from having a great partner like Grace is being able to cherish the places that I've gone," he said. "We see the monumental sites, go to the museums, eat in the best restaurants. I'm that guy now! In the past I'd do what I have to do and get on the bus to the next city. Life has become a vacation."
Usher got out of an ugly marriage with Tameka Foster. Foster is the mother of two of his sons.
His sons 8-year-old Usher Raymond V and 6-year-old Naviyd Ely Raymond are in his custody. A few years back, Usher V nearly drowned in his ex-wife's home.
The couple spent their honeymoon in Cuba.
World News Today wishes the couple well on their journey.

The only muscle the Republicans got is their tongues. They can talk tough but does it mean they'll act the part?
We're almost a week in and the topic of terrorism in the United States has become shiny coin the junk food media is chasing.
The San Bernardino tragedy sparked discussions over immigration, terrorism, gun violence, and profiling.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has become the scare de jour for the Republican Party. The candidates are calling "radical Islam" the number one threat to the United States.
But you and I know that gun violence is the number one threat in the United States, and the Republicans are too damn stupid to understand that.
Last night President Barack Obama delivered a statement to the nation. The 15 minute speech explained his aggressive approach to taking on terrorism.
The Republicans as usual denounced it. They complain that the president doesn't say the magic word whenever he explains his fight against terrorism.
You often notice that the tone of the rhetoric is becoming more angrier.
Muslims are fearing the backlash after the Paris and San Bernardino attacks. This latest attacks were sparked by individuals who pledged their support to the Islamic State.
Did you know that the Republicans rejected a strict background check law when it comes to the firearms?
They strongly rejected the idea to pass legislation to keep these nuts from obtaining firearms. They say that a terrorist or criminal can obtain access regardless of what law is passed. And these are the same people who say that the healthcare law is unconstitutional despite going through two Supreme Court rulings.
In truth, the terrorists want Republicans to win the White House. They believe the Republicans are stupid. The Republicans will let an attack happen. Their anti-government rhetoric will eventually cut a program that could protect the country. The terrorists will often seek opportunities in the United States and their lax gun control laws to stockpile. They will use the benefits of the Republicans to cause another mass murder.
