A small mosque in Houston, Texas was firebombed by a terrorist.
Who are the real terrorists here?
There has been headline fodder on many local and some national news agitators, the threat of terrorism upon Muslims is real. This holiday weekend was brought to the news of many attempts of terrorist acts upon American Muslims.
There was a firebombing of a California mosque. In the city of Tracy, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) of Sacramento Valley have called for an investigation into an attempted bombing of a mosque.
There was a "Molotov cocktail." tossed at the gate and into a side door. The California state authorities and the FBI are looking into this as a possible hate crime.
And let travel at least 1,870 miles to the fourth largest U.S. city.
There was a attempted bombing at a Houston mosque. Texas state authorities and the FBI are investigating this a possible hate crime. The terrorist decided to launch an attack upon a mosque in a shopping center in the Belfort neighborhood.
There were people attending the mosque for Saturday prayer. The people were lucky that this didn't kill them. They were in a different section of the shopping center while the mosque was being bombed.
As you know, the Republicans and conservative agitators have been bitching about "radical Islam".
The candidates running namely Donald Trump has set off this shit storm of overheated rhetoric.
Many Americans are spooked by the junk food media's coverage of terrorism. The threats of terrorism is often blown up by the media. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS) has become a threat to western nations. The West vows to destroy the group.
They are falling into the trap. The terrorists want America to bankrupt themselves fighting them.
The terrorists know that if the lawmakers in Washington can relax gun laws and federal safety regulations, they find opportunities to pull off a massive murder.
Republicans are pretty stupid when it comes to handling terrorism. The only muscle the Republicans got is their tongues. Their tongues are all talk and no action.
They will not condemn the terrorist attacks upon Americans who practice Islam in peace. They won't condemn the threats upon American Muslims who believe the acts done by the Islamic State are deplorable as well. American Muslims do not support the Islamic State.
There are people who are inspired by rhetoric. I mean think about it!
If Trump is saying that he would advocate a ban upon Muslims coming into the United States, some White extremists would take that to heart. The agitators in the conservative media would also push the "concern troll" narrative. They say that Muslims won't condemn violence and stand up against the threat of "radical Islam".
The divisive word vomit "radical Islam" already gives the narrative that the United States is targeting Muslims. The Islamic State has proven their point by going after the rhetoric.
Florida woman was removed forcibly from the hospital. She would die upon the removal.
It seems like those in law enforcement continue to get a bad rap. And it seems like every time a Black person is killed in police custody, the concern trolls often blame the victim for their deaths. Conservatives often claim that #BlackLivesMatter is a group that supports the murder of cops. They claim that the deaths of Blacks at the hands of other Blacks is ignored by the protesters. They even concern troll the protesters and try to gin up faux outrage over issues that weren't covered by them.
In the case of the Knoxville, TN teen who killed in gang violence, conservatives started this concern trolling about the president and BlackLivesMatter/Campaign Zero activist DeRay McKesson arne't concerned with the deaths of Black victims. Zaevion Dobson became the topic of the week when he sacrificed himself to a hail of bullets saving his teenage friends. The president will likely address Zaevion in the State of the Union in January.
The deaths of many Blacks in the custody of police give the sense of no hope. It gives Blacks the notion that even in the hands of the law, they're in danger. The law doesn't see a Black person as a victim, they see them as suspects. Conservatives and White extremists are often like this as well.
They concoct statistics about Black criminal behavior. They run this nonsense every time a Black is killed by a White person or law enforcement. It seems like that's the new norm beside the ongoing gun violence that plagues the country.
Okay, in Tallahassee, a woman who was apparently disruptive in a local hospital is restrained. A few hours later, she would die of heart failure.
The law says that 57-year old Barbara Dawson was being treated for breathing difficulties. According to the AP reports that Barbara collapsed Monday while being escorted in handcuffs from the Liberty Calhoun Hospital, where she sought treatment for breathing difficulties, Blountstown police Chief Mark Mallory said Tuesday. An officer had arrested Barbara for disorderly conduct and trespassing, Mallory said.
Autopsy results should be released Wednesday, Mallory said. Florida Department of Law Enforcement officials have been called in to investigate, department spokesman Steve Arthur said. He declined to comment further.
The law restrains a woman . She dies of heart failure.
Mallory said the officer who arrested Barbara removed the handcuffs after she collapsed and escorted her back into the hospital.
"We were told by a doctor once she got back in the hospital that her vital signs were good and it was their decision to readmit her," he said. He said dashcam footage from the officer's car does not show the incident but does pick up the audio.
Hospital officials did not return telephone calls from The Associated Press on Tuesday night. The Tallahassee Democrat reported that Ruth Attaway, administrator and CEO of the 25-bed hospital, said staff did everything they could for Barbara.
"They did their best trying to save her," Attaway said. "Our staff was very aggressive with her treatment."
While doctors initially thought Barbara was stable and should be released, she felt as if she still had breathing issues and wanted to stay, said Tallahassee attorney Daryl Parks, who is representing Barbara Dawson's family.
"The most reasonable thing to do is to let her sit there and be able to settle down until she felt well. Instead, she is forcibly removed and put in cuffs," Parks said. "The early facts of this case should cause a great concern for everyone."
The Calhoun-Liberty County chapter of the NAACP held an emergency meeting Tuesday. Dale R. Landry, who is the regional vice president for the Florida State chapter of the NAACP, met with local leaders and the family.
Landry said he and others are glad state law enforcement officers are getting involved, "but we strongly believe the death was due to negligence by the police department and hospital."
World News Today sends our condolences to the family of Barbara Dawson.
The calls for a cannon fire grow for embattled Democratic mayor Rahm Emmanuel. The mayor is facing heavy scrutiny over his handling of the Laquan McDoanld controversy.
Now this recent event may have the #BlackLivesMatter activists back out protesting the law's killing of unarmed citizens.
A Chicago cop is in the freezer after he shoots and kill a teen and his grandmother.
The Huffington Post and AP report that Quintonio Legrier, 19 was acting erratically at his home in the neighborhood of Garfield Heights. The teen was acting pretty damn crazy. He was swinging a metal bat around.
The law arrives on the scene. The family said that the cop failed to calm him down. So as the teen swings the bat, the cop puts seven in him. He immediately drops.
Somehow the cop's slugs ricocheted into the neighbor's home. It went into the neck of a woman who lived next door. The mother Bettie Jones, 56 opened to the door after she heard massive shots. She dropped after the slug got her in the neck.
Now the Illinois State patrol and Chicago police are investigating the incident.
The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the Chicago Police for potential violations. The possibility of brutal force is often called into question.
Protests continue.
The cop didn't have a body camera or a Taser on. The name of the officer isn't released yet.
#BlackLivesMatter has went all out this holiday weekend. They've done disruption and peaceful protests on the Miracle Mile. The Michigan Avenue entertainment district has been often a site for protesters.
In Minneapolis and Los Angeles, protesters have called into question of deadly police encounters of two recent events. The death of Jamar Clark and Nicholas Robertson became national stories.
The events were sparked by allegations of the law bucking a suspect on the run. Kind of like the shooting of Walter Scott....
World News Today sends our condolences to the family of the Bettie Jones and Quintonio Legrier.

A documentary about the school to prison pipeline.
Al-Jazeera English released on YouTube a video that you might take some interest in.
The video talks about the school to prison pipeline. It talks about young teens getting into trouble during their peak of puberty. They send teens to the iron college if they become perennial interns.
Many urban schools are now taking a zero tolerance on misbehavior.
Fault Lines documents Houston Independent School and the strict Texas laws in which even minor offenses for truancy could land a student into prison.
We must end the school to prison pipeline.
The Christmas holiday has been relatively light on stories. The political season takes a break for the most part. The agitators in the junk food media are off. So there's nothing much for them to agitate the public about.
The candidates are celebrating with their families.
We take the time to send our condolences to the victims of yesterday's tornadoes in the Mississippi delta. People in Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee faced some dangerous storms.
President Barack Obama declared a national emergency in the areas.
Some powerful EF4-EF5 tornadoes managed to plow communities.
The city of Memphis has one of the largest FedEx terminals. The shipping company faced a huge setback because of the weather. They are trying to finish up Christmas deliveries.
I'm here today to talk a little bit about me. I am from Dayton, Ohio, and work a full time job in the area. I am often considered reclusive at best. I'm an introvert. A loner. The guy in the back of the class. The guy that everyone could get along with but keeps to myself.
Seriously, I am a human being before everything else.
Anyway, I contribute a lot to the blog and post most of the stories I happen to find off the internet.
I'm thankful to S. Baldwin for giving me an opportunity to help grow her blog to greatness.
As we close out the year, I want to be thankful that I am alive. I am also thankful this dreadful year is going to be over. I am grateful that things are going to get better.
I don't care what people think of me personally. Rest assured that I want to keep my head up and move forward into the new year.
The former Walmart driver was served in the accident that seriously injured famed comedian Tracy Morgan. The accident ended up killing his friend Jimmy Mac (aka. Jimmy McNair).
The trucker Kevin Roper denied guilt in the accident. He was riding his rig on 24 hours of no sleep.
He ended up blazing through a construction area on the New Jersey Turnpike. The trucker didn't pay one bit of attention and ended smacking up the hummer limousine which Tracy and Jimmy Mac were in.
The comedians were coming from a gig in New Jersey and they were on their way to Baltimore when this jumped off.
The trucker is now facing some time in the iron college. Now the vehicular homicide charge could carry up to 20 years in the iron college. Given that Roper may have had many run-ins with law enforcement from reckless driving, he will be barred from driving for the rest of his life.
Walmart had to choke out a lot of money to the family of Jimmy Mac and Tracy Morgan.
The former trucker got served. Kevin Roper was found guilty in the death of Jimmy McNair and severe injury of Tracy Mogran.
They cannon fired Roper and many other drivers who failed to follow their standards of safety.
Roper's failure to take a rest break ultimately led to this tragedy.
Congress passed strict rules when it comes to commercial driving.
Roper must have ignored that when he believed he could finish the task in 30 hours without at least an 6 to 12 hour sleep break.
Roper is from Alabama and he's now being held in county lockup. His sentencing may come before the end of the year.
World News Today send our prayers to Tracy Morgan. We wish him well on his journey to recovery.
Violence doesn't take a break. A boy was shot in Dayton, Ohio.
In my community, the junk food media is reporting on an incident in which a two year old boy was shot by an unknown assailant. The boy was a passenger in a vehicle that was hit by a hail of rounds.
The vehicle would crash on a local Dayton, Ohio road.
The victim is listed in critical condition. The Dayton Police are seeking information to why this senseless tragedy.
It's not something I take pride in discussing. It callous and disgusting that a man would shoot an innocent child.
The victim's father may have been the intended target.
The shooting happened on a busy road called Gettysburg Avenue near the intersection of James H. McGee Boulevard.
World News Today sends our prayers to the family of the victim.
It's unfortunate on the eve of Christmas, gun violence never takes a break. It's the stuff that keeps on going and of course, the U.S. Congress will look the other way.
"Though I am not against interethnic relationships as a rule, I do think people should be careful. The possibility of anomic behavior from people who consider you “other” is something all women being propositioned by men outside their culture should be aware of."- Nicole Lasher of IronWynch
Dazed look on killer's face. Woman plows into innocent tourists.
The junk food media released the name of the suspect involved in the intentional run over of tourist on the Las Vegas strip.
Lakeisha Holloway is facing a court date. She is being charged with murder. The charge could carry her LIFE in the iron college. The 24-year old woman plowed over 44 people while she had her daughter in the backseat of her ride.
The victim who died upon impact was a mother from Buckeye, Arizona.
Jessica Valenzuela was a 32-year old mother of three. She and her husband were in Las Vegas celebrating the 10-year old anniversary.
Jessica's husband and family describe her as "fantastic stay-at-home mother" who had started attending Bible study classes at church, having moved from Colorado in July. "I only met her a couple of months ago, but she was definitely faithful once she started coming, and I knew she was a believer," the First Southern Baptist Church's pastor tells NBC News. "She seemed to be a very sweet lady."
Oregon woman kills mother of three.
Holloway drove on the sidewalk at 45 mph.
Holloway a transplant from Portland, Oregon must have feel on hard times. But that gives her no damn reason to take it out on everyone. She got served with murder with a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of an accident, and child endangerment.
Holloway is innocent until proven guilty.
Holloway now shows an ounce of remorse.
World News Today sends our condolences to the family Jessica Valenzuela.
Papa Smurf realized that something, something! Something, something just ain't right!
The Republican candidate has taken a nosedive. He's now in the single digits while the new flavor of the month Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) rose to the second spot. The Carson campaign had suffered some major setbacks after the three previous debates. Carson is pretty novice on foreign policy.
The Paris and San Bernardino tragedies brought the issue of terrorism to the forefront.
Carson is also got a lot of holes in his wallet and pocket. He's spent most of the $$$$$$$$ he's earned during the campaign.
Now Carson is ready to do another brain surgery on his staffers. His campaign manager may be the first sucker fired out the cannon.
With less than six weeks til the Iowa Caucus, Carson has to do some serious rebounding or else take an "L" and move on.
Carson's buddy conservative agitator Armstrong Williams assures that "everything is good" and "you have nothing to worry about". But many political insiders believe Carson may eventually bow out.
The Republican insurgents are giving the establishment a headache. They believe the overheated rhetoric could turn away potential voters.
The candidates have taken this hard right stance on most issues.
