If I was a Republican, I would be ashamed. I would be ashamed that these candidates have no clear strategy when it comes to solving problems.
CBS will host this latest train wreck with the Republicans.
I am so done with debates and these clowns. They have no real idea on how to solve problems. All they can pull out their asses is.....platitudes.
Heat is being felt on the stage. CBS News hosts John Dickerson and Major Garrett along with Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal host this debate in Greenville, South Carolina.
The six candidates running for the Republican nomination already got a jilt in the system. With the death of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, Republicans will have no choice but to address what's going to happen with the court.
I am going to be clear that the Republicans are desperate.
What pisses me off, is the platitudes being spoken by the Republican candidates. They offer no real solutions to fixing this country.
Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, John Kasich, and Jeb Bush square off with the gloves off and feelings hurt.
Of course, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and liberalism will be hammered by the candidates.
If you're watching the debate, get some Advil. Also if you're playing the drinking game, look for the same shit and same name drops.
It was learned today that the Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had passed away. He died one month shy of his 80th birthday. He was 79 years old.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Justice Antonin Scalia.
A New Jersey native, Scalia was then a lawyer, a professor and a mentor. He mentored presidential candidate and current senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).
He was of Italian-American heritage and is the father of nine. He was married to Maureen McCarthy, a woman Scalia found love after having a blind date.
Scalia was appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1986, he served as one of the longest serving justices in the Court. He was known for his colorful and yet controversial stances on many issues brought to the Court.
Scalia said that the day will come when monumental change could occur. But as an originalist he wanted to keep things the way is was. He shown that type of actions when he became the influential decision maker in the District of Columbia v. Heller case. That stripped localities from issuing gun bans in the communities. The gun owners cheered that as one of the Court's biggest gun rights decisions.
Scalia was in West Texas. He apparently passed away of natural causes. He was a featured speaker and guest at the Cibolo Creek Ranch, a resort in the Big Bend region south of the town of Marfa.
He was attending a private party at the ranch. When he didn't arrive for a breakfast gathering, a bell hop went to the room and found his body.
The U.S. Marshals are investigating the ranch to make sure that issues there didn't result in negligence.
The nation's court is hanging at the balance.
Conservatives praised the justice for taking the ground on issues such as abortion, gun rights, tort laws and gay marriage. His death is a huge blow to the conservative movement.
Matter of fact, they feared this could happen.
Scalia's death has far-reaching implications for the Court and a set of major court cases are set to come down. One in particular deals with Affirmative Action. The Fisher v. University of Texas case was going to be a monumental decision. President Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration were brought up in the court. A split decision will void the case. The Republicans also threatened to bring Obamacare back into the Court.
President Barack Obama and members of Congress as well as the candidates had chimed in on the passing.
Obama will nominate a person to fill the vacancy. It will be certainly a fight with Republicans in the Senate. They have the majority. They can hold the nominee or call a vote to reject the nominee.
Already putting out a statement, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that the next president will fill the vacancy. The Republicans will pull bullshit moves to hold back Obama's nominee.
But eventually they'll have to vote on it.
It also makes them vulnerable to Democrat charges that the Republicans can't govern. Democrats warn Republicans that denying Obama a nominee will result in "payback" if a Republican wins the White House.
Republicans are in a situation where they have a no win situation. They can't deny the president his Constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice. They are allowed to run the clock out on the nominee. The Democrats can also force a vote on the floor.
Republicans are going to be fucked regardless of what they do!
We will keep you informed on this developing story.
While most mass shootings go unnoticed, a school shooting always seem to bring attention to the rise in gun violence. Last year over 33,000 Americans lost their lives to gun violence. I can assure you that over 2,500 people have lost their lives to firearms this year alone. And its not getting any better.
Okay, there was a tragic shooting at Independence High School in Glendale. Two girls were killed. This happened to be a murder-suicide. The motives of the shooter are unknown but I have that feeling that bullying or spurn relationships were the cause of the event.
The 10th graders at Independence High School in Glendale had single gunshot wounds and a weapon was found near their bodies, police said. A suicide note was located.
A shooting was reported just before 8 a.m., when the first classes were scheduled to start, said Officer Tracey Breeden. Officers found the girls under a covered patio.
Murder suicide over lover being spurned.
"Although the investigation is not complete, investigators working the case say evidence found at the scene leads them to believe that one female took the life of the other female before taking her own life," police said later Friday.
According to police, detectives learned the girls were close friends, and appeared to be in a relationship.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office will make a final determination of the cause and manner of death. Police did not identify the girls, as Dorothy Dutiel and May Kieu, both 15 years old.
I don't know who shot the victim.
World News Today send our condolence to the victim of this senseless tragedy.
The biggest player in hip-hop turns to television. Dr. Dre is working on a television program.
The good doctor rolling up a fat sack of the Chronic and he's going to smoke it.
First things first! World News Today want to wish Dr. Dre a happy birthday. The media mogul has a birthday on February 18th. Well wishes to him.
The junk food media is reporting that Apple is working on a television show based of his upbringing. It will be exclusively streamed on Apple TV and its going be called Vital Signs.
While details of the show are still unknown, it's going to have some major A-listers involved.
Besides Dre, longtime video director Paul Hunter is taking a piece of the action. The executive producers Aaron Ginsburg and William Green and Robert Munic (of Empire fame) were hand-picked by Dre to write all six episodes.
No word on when the show will debut. Dr. Dre is tight lipped on leaks.
Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine were involved in making Beats Audio a success. Iovine resigned from Interscope Records in order to take a role in Apple Music's streaming service. Dr. Dre managed to sale his shares for over $3 billion.
He is the world's richest rapper. He released his "final" album Compton: The Soundtrack on Aftermath Entertainment. The album sold nearly 600,000 copies.
He also scored a big payday when the blockbuster movie Straight Outta Compton made nearly $1 billion in ticket sales.
Also Apple Music has signed on DJ Khaled, Drake and Future to the stream their exclusives.
Future's EVOL album released last Friday managed to score 174,000 units placing him once again in the Number 1 spot. This would be his third album in which he hit the top. Also the third in less than a year.
Pathetic Republican candidate Jim Gilmore bows out.
Never had a chance.
The little engine that couldn't...!
Former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore has officially dropped out the Republican race. Like anyone would have noticed. So it seems now that there's six in the race.
Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Ben Carson remain. It's a matter of time before the field narrows down even more.
If you're looking for candidates that scored below the zero, turn to Lindsey Graham, Rick Santorum and Gilmore. I almost had to contain myself from laughing and busting a gut.
Gilmore is a dork just like Santorum but he's just as pathetic. He reminds me of that Zippy comic strip. Ziggy is a colorful and positive character. Gilmore is just an awful piece of shit who should just crawl back under a rock.
Gilmore is a perennial candidate for president and senate. He thought the media would give him a chance.
Nope. He's gotten less media recognition than most of the underlings who ran for the nomination.
Jim Gilmore reminds me of the Tom Wilson's Ziggy comic strip.
Gilmore lost to Andy Martin. Martin is a notorious vexatious lawyer who generates the Obama's a Muslim nonsense. He's a failed perennial candidate who should be sent to the crazy house instead of the iron college. Martin is a notorious birther who is questioning "Canadian" Cruz and Rubio's birth.
Martin is also going after Carson and Trump for being agents for the Israeli government.
Gilmore only got 20 votes in the New Hampshire primary and Martin managed to get 25 votes.
For all those Bernie Sanders supporters who believe he's gotten a blackout, listen to the junk food media giving him his fair share of coverage. Matter of fact, he's gotten more coverage than Ben "Papa Smurf" Carson so far this month.
And in other news, Jim Webb isn't going to run as an independent. Webb failed to win Democratic support. The former Virginia senator was hoping to move the party back to the middle.
He's refuses to endorse Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. I wouldn't be surprised that Jimbo Webbs endorses Beetle Bailey John Kasich or MC Marco Rubio instead of the Democrats.
Actress denounced Ted Cruz after she slut shames her.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) got egg on his face this weekend ahead of the debate and South Carolina primary.
The Ted Cruz Campaign was hit by friendly fire. That friendly fire was the definition of irony.
There was a political ad aimed at Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in which a group of disgruntled Republicans met at an anonymous meeting discussing their frustrations with Washington.
One of the actresses who gave the line, "Maybe you should vote for more than a pretty face" was named Amy Lindsay.
Amy gave the dog whistle "about them people". The commercial was hard hitting until a person recognized Lindsay. Someone found out that Amy was the girl guys really got a hold on. I mean they really wanted her.
Damn.
It turns out that Amy was a former softcore porn actress. She played in some X-rated movies on Cinemax and HBO. The word got to the social media and Cruz was ridiculed for the decision to run the ad.
Amy who supported Cruz during his run was pissed that the campaign pulled the ad and shamed the her for being a "vile liberal operative" who tried to sabotage the campaign.
Amy was getting some really good airplay on the junk food media. Amy retired from the porn game and is doing minor roles on television. She said that Cruz was foolish for dumping the ad. She said that she would have voted for him but seeing how he reacts to things, she may consider supporting his arch-rival Donald Trump.
Her website and social media spiked a bit after she was outed as the woman who once did a backstroke on a man's....Well you know!
The video is circulating and it's too late for Cruz to call for removal. Many of the people seen it and they're laughing at him for being such a stick in the mud.
The Columbus Police and the FBI are assuring that this incident was isolated but do fear the potential for a copycat could occur. Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch have been notified about the situation and are dispatching anti-terror analysis into the city.
What do they knew about the suspect Mohamed Barry who launched an attack at a Mediterranean restaurant?
Was he inspired by the Islamic State?
Anyway, the whole ordeal is getting MAD play on the conservative agitating websites. It's no surprise that the right will launch into the Blame Obama For This Situation Game.
What went down was this guy who was armed with a machete entering the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli.
If you don't say something, you advocate for these incidents to happen!
No one knows what goes on in the mind of the mentally insane.
The man entered the restaurant and engaged conversation with a few employees. At first he purchased a meal and left. About 30 minutes later, he returns to launch into a carnage.
He had stabbed some of the people and they were seriously injured. Some could survive their injuries.
The man tried to flee into towards Easton. He was stopped at the intersection of Morse and Steltzer.
A man storms the restaurant and attacks people with a machete.
When confronted he would ram into a cruiser and a few cars before his car would be damaged so badly it couldn't move. As the officers ordered the man to drop his weapon, he refused the order and they put the slugs in him.
Barry was pronounced dead at the local hospital. He was of Somali decent. He was being tailed by the feds after his friends and family said he acted differently. He was the "NICE GUY" who owned a Mercedes-Benz and worked a decent job. He had minor run-ins with the law. No potential threat until he traveled overseas.
He traveled to the Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for a vacation. But he may have strayed course into a place where he may have been inspired by extremism.
Barry's actions are the signs of potential "lone wolf" attacks that the Islamic State inspire its followers to commit. They want the followers to go after the soft targets. The soft targets could be a restaurant, a nightclub, a gas station, a school or mall. Those are places where a potential terror threat could occur.
The city of Middletown addressed potential threat adverted at the high school.
This stuff happens in my backyard.
The city of Middletown assures the residents that their children are safe at school. The high school found that one of their students wrote a threat directed at the school's Black children.
Although the threat didn't occur, the junk food media is focusing on the possible terrorist attack in Columbus, Ohio. As I will cover that issue in the next post, I want you to know that this threat was overlooked.
I didn't hear about this situation. I usually watch the local news agitators in the Dayton and Cincinnati market. But I guess I must have been working. I missed it. But if it wasn't for a new website I've found called Melanoidnation.org, I would have just looked at this as a minor issue.
I urge discretion when viewing the website.
The Butler County Sheriff and Middletown Police arrest the student after he confessed to making the threat to light up the school. He was pissed at the Black students and wanted to take them out.
The threat did keep two dozen students away from school. Parents are livid that the school allow this potential terrorist get so far without being noticed.
So far he's being charged as a juvenile. He'll be facing a second degree felony for inducing panic.
The juvenile is innocent until proven guilty.
The city is taking steps to curb the potential threats. They did acknowledge to the parents about school bullying, diversity, and what steps are taken to deescalate violence.
“Middletown City School District is working diligently to provide an atmosphere of diversity and inclusion. Our heightened security is comprised of our teachers and administration continuing to be more alert and aware along with extra officers in the building patrolling throughout the day,” said the school board.
The resentment still exist in Ferguson. The Department of Justice sues the city for inept leadership.
The city of Ferguson is facing a federal lawsuit from the U.S. Justice Department. The city was to fix the systematic issues that fueled distrust among the residents and the city police.
The Michael Brown shooting became a national controversy. Brown who was unarmed was shot and killed by then Officer Darren Wilson. The law didn't handle the situation correctly and it led to a riot in the city. When Wilson didn't get indicted by the grand jury, it set off another riot within the city.
Wilson would soon resign and go into hiding. The junk food media polarized the situation. Many in the Black community found that Wilson willingly murdered an unarmed teen. They believed that he failed to use non lethal force and deliberately failed to activate his dash camera when he confronted Brow. The conservatives believe that Brown robbed a convenience store and tried to wrestle a firearm from a police officer. They believe the killing was justified.
Then Attorney General Eric Holder told the junk food media that the city had systematic profiling of residents. The city has a 62% Black population. He said that if he could he would dismantle the police force.
Now that the city rejected the proposals suggested by the Justice Department. Now, current U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch accused Ferguson of engaging in racially-driven policing and law enforcement "that violates the First, Fourth and 14th Amendments of the Constitution."
The Justice Department released a 56-page outline of many of the violations that plagued the Ferguson police.
Some of the most controversial things outlined in the lawsuit were including:
The lawsuit says Ferguson police officers "routinely prohibit people from recording police activity, and retaliate against those who do record.” In one instance from June 2014, a mother was arrested "ostensibly" for a traffic violation after she began videotaping her husband's arrest in front of their children and then continued to record from her car as the police vehicle drove off with her husband. "[N]obody videotapes me," the officer insisted.
Officers sometimes "offer no rationale at all for interfering with individuals’ right to record," the lawsuit alleges. In October 2013, one officer threatened to arrest a civilian who was taking a picture of the officer. "Do I not have the right to record?" the civilian asked. "No, you don’t," replied the officer, who then arrested the civilian for Failure to Comply.
Officers often use their authority to arrest people who use "offensive, but lawful, language" to criticize police conduct, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit says Ferguson officers conduct stops, issue citations and make arrests without legal justification. In October 2012, police officers pulled over an African-American man, claiming his passenger-side brake light was broken. The man had recently replaced the light, but the officers refused to let him show them it was working, instead issuing him a citation for "tail light/reflector/license plate light out." The man went to the police station that evening to show officers there that his brake light was working.
Ferguson officers engage in a pattern of searching individuals without legal justification, and this "disproportionately impacts African-Americans, who are searched at higher rates than others, but who have contraband found on them significantly less often than others," the lawsuit alleges.
The lawsuit says Ferguson police officers "routinely escalate encounters with individuals they perceive to be disobedient, and unreasonably use canines on unarmed subjects, including young juveniles." In December 2011, for example, a 14-year-old African-American boy was skipping school and waiting in an abandoned house for his friends. When officers arrived at the scene, the boy refused to come out. Even though officers had no reason to believe the boy might be armed, they deployed a canine to bite the boy, causing puncture wounds in his arm.
The lawsuit says the Ferguson court system "routinely" fails to provide residents who have received citations or summons with "adequate notice of the allegations made against them" or any "meaningful opportunity to be heard." Sometimes, such residents are provided wholly incorrect information about where and when their cases are being heard, according to the lawsuit. "They are often unable to determine how much is owed, where and how to pay the ticket, what the options for payment are, what rights the individual has, and what the consequences are for various actions or oversights," the lawsuit alleges.
Similarly, Ferguson residents who have been arrested "are sometimes not provided clear information regarding the charges against them," and the court's bond procedures "are arbitrary and confusing."
Attorney General Loretta Lynch went hard on the city of Ferguson.
Prosecutors fail to disclose information that could help defendants fighting the charges against them, "despite the constitutional duty to disclose such evidence," the lawsuit says. In some cases, defendants have not been told that the Ferguson officer testifying in the case against them "was previously found to be untruthful during an official [Ferguson police] investigation," according to the lawsuit.
Overall, the lawsuit says, these practices “disproportionately harm African-Americans,” and they “are not the necessary or unavoidable results of legitimate public safety efforts.”
“Rather, the disproportionate harm to African-Americans stems, at least in part, from racial bias, including racial stereotyping,” the lawsuit alleges.
The Justice Department decided to file the lawsuit after Ferguson’s City Council Tuesday night rejected a long-negotiated deal to overhaul the police department and court system. In explaining its decision, the council cited the enormous cost to the city to make some of the proposed changes.
"Our goal was always to reach an agreement that we can implement and sustain with the resources we have in this small town," one councilman said after hearing of the lawsuit. "We accepted just about everything that was asked us and spent a lot of time trying to get this [deal] to work within our limited means, and in the end they didn't care at all whether we could actually accomplish what's in the agreement as long as we just signed it."
The feds end the partying at Georgia's iron colleges. Interns and correction guards were indicted in drug trafficking, contraband and kickbacks.
The feds ended a string of corruption at many of Georgia's iron colleges.
About 46 members of the Georgia Department of Corrections are facing some federal time out. There were raids at multiple iron colleges.
The raid involved guards, medical officials and inmates smuggling contraband, drug trafficking and slide backs (i.e. gifts and prostitutes) into the iron college.
These workers of the iron college would look the other way when it came to violent encounters, rape, contraband smuggling, and furrows. If it wasn't for their need for greed, they would have gotten away with this. The feds don't play when it comes to corruption in law enforcement.
The feds found cellphones, heroin, and cocaine bundles being shipped out without the warden or the law's skeptical eye.
The Department's Office of Professional Standards says that they arrested five officers after the FBI done a undercover sting.
"It's truly troubling that so many corrections officers from across Georgia could be so wiling to sell their oaths to sell their badges for personal profit., said U.S. Attorney John Horn.
The Feds and state boys entered the Dooly Iron College at the crack of dawn. They performed a shakedown of the entire facility in search of contraband, alcohol, cellphones, weapons and drugs.
These groups had ties to the Mexican cartel. The cartel gave the correction guards everything they wanted. The only thing they were missing was the informant who was interned from a neighboring state. That informant watched patiently as the guards were giving interns the contraband.
Governor Nathan Deal, the Republican of the state is also facing federal watch for allegations of corruption. He has no comment on this scandal as of yet. But it's expected.
I am going to make this a short posting. I was at work. Unfortunately, I missed the PBS Democratic Debate on television. But I did get an opportunity to hear Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton duke it out in Wisconsin.
PBS Newshour hosts Judy Wooduff and Gwen Ifill gave the Democrats a working.
See the candidates are competing in the South Carolina primary and they're hoping to court the precious Black and Hispanic vote.
Both candidates have struggled to win over Black voters.
The New Hampshire primary was a blowout for Sanders. He beat Clinton in 3:1 win.
Now Clinton is hoping to bank on South Carolina primary and the Nevada Caucus. She is leading for the time being in those states.
Both were cordial but they did hit each other over a manufactured talking point they've pulled out their asses. They both agreed that they love President Barack Obama's policies but Clinton did slam Sanders on his Obama love. Sanders is endorse by a handful of liberal agitators. Sanders did plug for the liberal agitator Bill Press's book Buyer's Remorse: How Obama Let Progressives Down.
The national security issue also came up. They both have no real strategy to defeating the Islamic State. They flex their tongues like the Republicans.
The economic policies came up and of course both candidates believe that Obama's policies are working. But they both agreed that the policies aren't doing enough and they're hoping to make them better.
It's up to you to decide on who won the debate.
Who won this debate?
I mean I don't care who won. All that matters is who's going to eventually be the nominee?
Cop in the freezer after he made snide comments about a Black man committing suicide.
This shit happens in my own backyard. The law isn't immune from social media. The death of a BlackLivesMatter activist has Fairborn, Ohio officer in the freezer after someone outed him when he made a snide comment about the man's death.
MarShawn McCarrel committed suicide on the steps of the Ohio Statehouse on Monday. His death opened up a flood of sympathy and BlackLivesMatter objective to address suicide among youth.
This cop named Lee Cyr did some real trolling on the sympathy page. He posted on the social page that MarShawn's death was a celebration. He actually said in this tragedy he'd "Love a happy ending".
Cyr claimed that he was off duty when the comment was posted.
The BlackLivesMatter Movement mourn a member who fought to the bitter end.
Cyr, who served on a school board in a nearby suburb left it to move to Fairborn. There's an investigation of his conduct. If he's found responsible for the post, he will also certainly get freezer burn for the incident. He clearly violated the social media conduct rules.
But what could happen?
He might end up getting fired out the cannon for this incident.
Cyr shut down his social media pages. He also might get a handful of death threats from the crazy ones. But so far, he's in hiding pending a national backlash against him.
Trolling on the internet proved to be a mistake for Ohio cop.
The Fairborn Police released a statement.
"An internal affairs complaint was initiated and the department will be investigating further into the origin of the media post. The Fairborn Police Department takes these type of issues very seriously and will ensure that the professional standards of the department are upheld."
Cyr's actions assures that while on duty, he may have pulled over a Black or Hispanic motorist in Fairborn. He may have claimed that they failed to signal at 100 feet. He'll ask why you were in a neighborhood he claims that has drug activity. He may ask to search your car. He'll get a county sheriff or a supervisor with a dog to search your vehicle without your consent. He'll ticket you for a violation and send you to the Fairborn Municipal Court. Then you'll plead not guilty and have a trial. When the trial comes up, you're there but the cop isn't. He came down with a cold.
This shit happens.
Cyr's social media posting gave Black America an understanding of Dayton and its law enforcement of its many surrounding communities. Cyr's actions give me reason to justify that many in law enforcement engage in profiling. This doesn't just affect Fairborn, but Dayton, Beavercreek, Kettering, Oakwood, Riverside, Englewood, Huber Heights, Vandalia, Trotwood, Moraine, the Greene County sheriff, the Montgomery County sheriff and the Ohio State Patrol.
It's ironic. What Cyr said on social media kind of feels like a moment of zen.
"One down, many more to go."
"Good one down".
