Conservatives mock American Muslims being attacked by killer bees.
Our friends over at Raw Story had a story that was posted on the conservative Craigslist. The website linked an article in regards to an event that happened over the weekend.
A Islamic temple in Phoenix was invaded by a bee swarm.
It linked to the Fox Nation website. The Muslim Community Mosque of Metro Phoenix was hit by a swarm of the aggressive African colonized bees. The bugs managed to sting 20 worshippers.
The spokesperson for the mosque said that animal control will handle the situation. They will safely remove the bees.
Well it seems like racism and xenophobia isn't far away. Some people came from underneath the bandwidth bridge to mock the incident and bring President Barack Obama into the conversation.
Some of the word vomit was extreme. So far I've read a few of these inflammatory remarks.
One poster said that "Bees are doing more for our national security than the president".
Another comment was even more vulgar. "A press statement from Obama was just issued. He apologized to the Muslims for Racist Bee Violence.
Another one commented saying that "Further investigation revealed that these Bees were reincarnated Muslim terrorists that killed themselves and found out the virgin thing was a lie!!!! So now they are seeking revenge.,lol!"
These were some of the offensive word vomit from conservatives. It's vile, ugly and just utterly stupid.
These are the voters that Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich want.
Splashed on The Huffington Post today was a story about Donald Trump and his ongoing feud with Fox News and its agitator Megyn Kelly.
Trump's war against Kelly began at the first Republican debate in Cleveland when he was given a question about his treatment of women. Trump's reaction to her and Fox News was supposed to be the end of his campaign.
Fast forward to now.
Trump's holding a little bit of dirt on Fox News. According to an article being published by New York Magazine, Gabriel Sherman reveals how Trump came to possess some deep shit going on in Roger Ailes' circle. Sherman says that this information could damage the reputation of Ailes and his network.
Fox News is by far the cable news leader. It's often beating most primetime shows in 3:1 ratio.
The network has long being question for journalistic ethics. Most conclude that Fox News is in favor of the Republican and conservative policies.
Roger Ailes fired a longtime aid to his inner circle. Brian Lewis was fired out the cannon after a story turned up about Ailes carrying a firearm to work and fearing Muslims may attack him. Lewis told the junk food media that Roger got enemies and these enemies could expose him.
The Donald may have been getting practically kiss ass coverage from the country's most annoying conservative agitator. Sean Hannity, is by far the worst conservative agitator to ever host a show. He's nothing more than a screaming parrot of Republican talking points, insults and name dropping.
The Ted Cruz campaign vowed to never go on Hannity's show anymore because the annoying conservative agitator brought up the alleged sex scandal.
He was demoted to 10pm back in 2013 after his show entitled "Hannity" was losing to Rachel Maddow.
The network is not so keen on a Donald Trump or Ted Cruz presidency.
Roger Ailes has privately told people that "Trump has no chance" of being the president.
Wisconsin is leaning to Ted Cruz and it could be a blowout for the controversial Texas senator.
Conservatives in the state have mounted war against Donald Trump and Ohio governor John Kasich.
Trump had some major derailment these last two weeks.
Failed presidential candidate and current Wisconsin governor Scott Walker endorsed Cruz in a last ditch effort to stop Trump from winning the nomination. Perennial loser Mitt Romney endorsed Cruz for president in his last hurrah for relevance. Both have openly said that they may sit it out if Trump is the nominee.
So far it's working.
Cruz is leading in the state by 10 points. The Cruz campaign gained momentum in the wake of allegations of an affair with five women. Trump's attack on Heidi Cruz was a bad move.
Not to mention the incident in Florida where Trump's right hand thug Corey Lewandowski shoving conservative agitator Michelle Fields.
Even Trump's strongest backer, former Alaskan half-termer Sarah Palin flopped at a Wisconsin Republican dinner.
Many conservatives agitators in Wisconsin have tried to sabotage Trump.
The media mogul went on a radio program and got his ass handed to him by a radio agitator who was in favor of Ted Cruz. Then when he went to MSNBC to engage conversation with Hardball's Chris Matthews, he said that women should be punished for having abortions. That lit a shit storm with Republicans who whisper the message. They hated the fact he used the bullhorn. Trump's foreign policy flopped as well. Now he's doing damage control and warning that if he fails at winning the nomination, he will engage in an insurgent candidacy.
Trump, Cruz and Kasich vowed to not support the Republican nominee if its not them.
They complain that Republicans threaten to nominate a candidate who hasn't ran. House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin lawmaker and former vice presidential nominee is considering taking control of the situation by becoming the nominee.
Also Cruz gained a victory today. North Dakota's delegates went to him in a landslide. The state's Republican convention nominated Cruz as their candidate of choice.
Wisconsin's primary is two days away. Cruz and Bernie Sanders are leading in the state polls.
Sanders is leading by a narrow lead of 4 points against Hillary Clinton.
Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont who is running as a Democrat for the nomination is catching up with Clinton. He's scored a huge bank of donations. He raked in $35 million in the month of March. Sanders promises to stay in the race until the convention.
Even though he's trailing in the delegates, he's showing signs of life in states like California and New York. Clinton currently leads in these states but Sanders running a stronger offense is likely to make the states a challenge for the former first lady and secretary of state.
Hamburger Helper releases Watch The Stove on iTunes.
General Mills releases an actual mixtape.
Watch The Stove is actually a mixtape released by Lefty, the Hamburger Helper mascot. It's a good mixtape. As an April Fool's Prank, the company wanted to give Lefty some real beef.
The title is a mocking of Jay-Z and Kanye West's album Watch The Throne.
It takes a shot at Meek Mill. Because remember in July, the Philly rapper was engaged in a serious rap beef with Drake. Drake served him hard. And General Mills couldn't resist making Meek Mill the butt of their promotional campaign. General Mills reached out to music manager/educator Craig Rice for help putting the project together. Rice, a teacher at McNally Smith College of Music in Minnesota and had Toki Wright as the performer of the mixtape.
In the mix, Lefty recording the mixtape.
Wright is an established hip-hop artist having released albums with Rhymesayers, Wright is also the Department Head of the nation’s first fully accredited Hip-hop Studies Diploma and Minor Program at the school. Jumping at the chance to get his students involved in a project that could reach a large audience, they got to work.
Somethings are better left back where they were left.
The knife that drove the junk food media back to Brentwood, Los Angeles turned out to be not the weapon used in the 1994 killing of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department said that the knife doesn't have any trace of Simpson's DNA. Matter of fact, the former officer who held on to the knife has a credibility issue.
Forensic investigators conducted DNA and other tests on the blade after it was turned over to Los Angeles police within the last few months by a retired LAPD motorcycle officer.
The retired officer told investigators he had been given the knife by a construction worker, who in turn claimed to have found it on Simpson‘s property in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles when the house was being torn down in 1998.
“We don’t know if it’s a hoax, but there’s no nexus to the murders, based on the testing we’ve done,” LAPD Captain Andrew Neiman said in an interview.
O.J. Simpson the famed football star and television actor was acquitted of the murder.
The murder of Nicole and Ron led the nation to the slow speed chase, the Trial of the Century and the gloves that didn't fit which lead to Simpson being acquitted.
Simpson was found liable for the deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman by a civil court jury in 1997 and ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims’ families, a judgment that has remained largely unfulfilled.
Simpson's infamy came to a end when he decided to take actions into his own hands. In 2008, he was caught up. Now he's serving a 33-year bid in the iron college. He is eligible for parole in 2017.
Simpson is sitting in a Nevada iron college was found guilty of burglary and aggravated assault after he and his buddies roughed up a collections dealer.
Republican National Committee chief Reince Priebus still trying to color the White rainbow.
Republicans are hoping to create that coalition of non-White supporters. They've suffered a huge deficit of non-White voters in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. They hope they can capitalize off the dysfunction the Democrats are having right now.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Hillary Clinton are duking it out for the Black, Hispanic, young and women voters. These groups are the Democrats hope to see turnout this election.
Right now, Black and Hispanic voters are turned off to Sanders and Clinton. It's been rough for both candidates to capitalize off the Obama waves. President Barack Obama managed to carry huge turnout in 2008 and 2012. His success was based on grassroots to communities that candidates overlook.
Telly Lovelace.
Republicans are still hoping that they can at least gain at least 25% of the Black vote.
Kristal Quarker-Hartsfield, the former national director of African-American Initiatives and Media at the RNC, left Friday to be director of intergovernmental affairs for Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R). Orlando Watson, communications director for black media, departed in March. Tara Wall and Raffi Williams, son of Fox News political analyst Juan Williams, also left the RNC late last year.
Now GOP chief Reince Priebus announced that he's found him a new toy to play with.
Telly Lovelace, a veteran GOP communications strategist, is the new leader of the party’s black political engagement and communications efforts, the Republican National Committee announced on Friday.
Lovelace, who starts Monday as the national director of African-American Initiatives and Media, will spearhead black voter engagement.
“Telly is a welcome addition to our team, and I’m confident his experience will help us build on our commitment to cultivate relationships and trust with Black media and Black communities,” said Priebus in a statement.
The RNC is also launching a new diversity initiative — including a paid internship program focusing on historically black colleges and universities — to bring more black people into the party.
“I really want to focus on getting the Republican message into urban America and urban communities,” said Lovelace, who is overseeing the program.
Lovelace’s appointment comes in the middle of a mass exodus of black staffers from the organization.
I've always believed that the Republican Party is White like cocaine.
90% WHITE and 10% EVERYTHING ELSE.
They've engaged in this ongoing culture war against everyone including themselves. The Republicans don't know who to trust right now!
All they got left is pretty much the blame going to Barack Obama and the media for their continuous failures.
I got so many suggestions for the Republican Party, but I just couldn't contain myself from delivering my honest opinion about the rebranding of the national party. Here are some healthy and yet obvious suggestion to the ailing party.
The Republicans must stop this culture war against everyone! If they do so, I'll stop calling them racist.
I'll stop calling them bigots if they refuse to allow anyone within their party to hate a person's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, educational, political and economic standings.
I'll stop blaming them for all the mass shootings in a suburban school or shopping center if they could at least pass a background check for all registered gun owners.
I'll stop blaming them if they can separate themselves from all the White supremacist rhetoric we've seen through channels such as The Drudge Report, InfoWars, Breitbart, WorldNetDaily and Conservative Review.
I'll vote for a Republican for president if the person can deliver a plan to help everyone. Not a select few. I would hope they would engage in communicating to all voters instead of just conservative voters.
I'll vote for a Republican if they stop acting like a bunch of idiots!
When conservative agitators bemoan about the rise of "radical Islam", their gullible audience sponges it up and run with it. They want Muslims to stand up and denounce terrorism.
Muslims across the world denounce the brutal and senseless acts of terrorism.
The Belgium attacks has sparked another rise in Islamophobia in the United States. The conservative agitators, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich continue to push their narrow minded goal to profile Muslims.
Donald Trump called for a ban on Muslims who travel overseas.
Ted Cruz wants law enforcement to profile Muslim neighborhoods.
John Kasich believes that President Barack Obama would do the tango then take on radical Islam. His state of Ohio will refuse refugees from Syria and causalities of war.
A young woman who was studying for cosmetology was attacked by a man with a knife. This terrorist slashes the woman's face causing a deep laceration on her face.
The young woman was a Muslim and she was a student at the Make-Up Designory.
The attack was random and the suspect wasn't named yet. But he will face a court date. He will face aggravated assault and attempted murder charges. It could be a federal hate crime charge.
The attack started by the terrorist calling the young woman a "TERRORIST".
The attack comes amid a rise in violent attacks against residents in New York. These attacks risen to a record 20 percent since last year.
Mayor Bill de Blasio vows to curb this amid tensions with the NYPD. Patrick Lynch of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association Union has been a contributing factor to tension between residents and the law.
The month of March gave the best news for President Barack Obama, however it gave a rise to the unemployment rate. The Department of Labor released the job numbers and it shows a steady pace of employment.
The economy roars with 215,000 jobs added for the month of March and it did lead to the unemployment rate to head to 5 percent.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 215,000 last month, the Labor Department said on Friday. Data for January and February was revised slightly down to show 1,000 fewer jobs created than previously reported.
Average hourly earnings increased seven cents. While the unemployment rate rose to 5.0 percent from an eight-year low of 4.9 percent, it was because more Americans continued to return to the labor force, a sign of confidence in the jobs market.
The labor market has largely shrugged off slowing global economic growth, a robust U.S. dollar that has hurt manufacturing exports, and cheap oil prices, which have hit energy sector profitability.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that slowing world growth and lower oil prices posed a downside risk to the U.S. economic outlook, adding that she considered it appropriate for policymakers to “proceed cautiously in adjusting policy.”
Fed officials last month downgraded their economic growth expectations and forecast only two more rate rises this year. The U.S. central bank raised its benchmark overnight interest rate in December for the first time in nearly a decade.
Financial markets have almost priced out the likelihood of a rate hike at the Fed’s June policy meeting and see a roughly 47 percent chance of an increase in November and a 57 percent probability at the December meeting, according to CME FedWatch.
The employment report came on the heels of recent data showing sluggish consumer spending and weak business investment on capital in the first two months of the year, as well as some deterioration in the international trade balance.
Of course, Republicans and conservative agitators will say that the job numbers are fake. They will actually say that 1/3 of Americans aren't working (roughly 94 million).
They will continue to deny the fact that there are students in high school, stay at home spouse/parent, disabled, those in the iron college, those in college, those who were born and those died.
Births and deaths happen every freaking day. Someone just lost their job. Someone just quit their job.
The real unemployment numbers aren't relevant. Because there's so many contributing factors to why Americans chose to work or chose not to work.
Conservatives can say all the bullshit on television, radio, internet and print. But it's not true.
The lamest Congress ever, refuses to raise the minimum wage. They refuse to pass paid family leave.
They refuse to allow better safety equipment for those who work around hazardous chemicals.
But yet, say that the job numbers aren't right. The Republican Party and its allies contributed to the near downfall of our country and yet they want to reclaim the White House.
Craigory Burch, Jr. was murdered by people who he thought were his friends.
The Georgia law enforcement agencies are investigating the death of a lottery winner. Seven individuals broke into the home of the man and his family. They would end up attacking the family and killing the man.
Now they're being served in the death of Craigory Burch, Jr.
The Atlanta area man won nearly $500,000 in the state lottery. He was a struggling father of three and had worked a few jobs before luck struck him. He and his girlfriend Jasmine Hendricks were grateful to the community.
He was celebrating the Christmas holiday by donating gifts to charity. Someone got wind of the man's good fortunes. They decided to master a plan to extort money from Craigory.
So seven people would end up breaking into his home. Some were armed with firearms.
Investigators believe three masked people broke into a home under the cover of late-night darkness on Jan. 20. Authorities believe they aimed to rob Burch of his lottery winnings, WALB reported.
The Unlucky Seven.
The suspects were identified as Rosalyn Swain, 22; Keyona Dyous, 24; Earnest Holcomb, 27; Wayan Jordan, 17; Dabrentis Overstreen, 19; Nathaniel Baker, 28; and Anjavell Johnson, 21, according to WFXL.
Ben Hill County Sheriff Bobby McLemore told the news station more arrests were expected but the attack appeared to be targeted and not random.
All seven suspects were charged with malice murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, WALB reported.
Burch's friends said he worked as a forklift operator and used some of his lottery winnings to buy Christmas presents for those in need. Jasmine told WALB he pleaded with his attackers before they fatally shot him.
"When they came in, he said, 'Don't do it, bro. Don't do it in front of my kids. Please don't do it in front of my kids and old lady. Please don't do that, bro. Please don't,'" Hendricks said.
Six of the suspects were being held in Ben Hill County Jail Monday. The remaining suspect was in custody in Colquitt County, according to WALB.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
World News Today send our condolences to the Craigory Brunch.
News agitator fired out the cannon for acting ignorant on the social media.
We haven't forgotten about the mass shooting that occurred in Pittsburgh. A family of five were murdered in cold blood after an altercation with two unknown gunmen. The FBI and Pittsburgh Metro Police are investigating this and hopeful they will catch these terrorists.
Well the local junk food media covered this tragedy.
Local news agitator WTAE loaded Wendy Bell in the cannon and fired her out the tent.
Bell's cannon firing was caused by her social media rant about "Black on Whatever" crime. She was playing the role of concern troll.
Here's her social media posting.
“Next to ‘If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times,' I remember my mom most often saying to my sister and me when we were young and constantly fighting, ‘If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.' I've really had nothing nice to say these past 11 days and so this page has been quiet. There's no nice words to write when a coward holding an AK-47 hoses down a family and their friends sharing laughs and a mild evening on a back porch in Wilkinsburg. There's no kind words when 6 people are murdered. When their children have to hide for cover and then emerge from the frightened shadows to find their mother's face blown off or their father's twisted body leaking blood into the dirt from all the bullet holes. There's just been nothing nice to say. And I've been dragging around this feeling like a cold I can't shake that rattles in my chest each time I breathe and makes my temples throb. I don't want to hurt anymore. I'm tired of hurting.
You needn't be a criminal profiler to draw a mental sketch of the killers who broke so many hearts two weeks ago Wednesday. I will tell you they live within 5 miles of Franklin Avenue and Ardmore Boulevard and have been hiding out since in a home likely much closer to that backyard patio than anyone thinks. They are young black men, likely teens or in their early 20s. They have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs. These boys have been in the system before. They've grown up there. They know the police. They've been arrested. They've made the circuit and nothing has scared them enough. Now they are lost. Once you kill a neighbor's three children, two nieces and her unborn grandson, there's no coming back. There's nothing nice to say about that.
But there is HOPE. And Joe and I caught a glimpse of it Saturday night. A young, African American teen hustling like nobody's business at a restaurant we took the boys to over at the Southside Works. This child stacked heavy glass glasses 10 high and carried three teetering towers of them in one hand with plates piled high in the other. He wiped off the tables. Tended to the chairs. Got down on his hands and knees to pick up the scraps that had fallen to the floor. And he did all this with a rhythm and a step that gushed positivity. He moved like a dancer with a satisfied smile on his face. And I couldn't take my eyes off him. He's going to Make It.
When Joe paid the bill, I asked to see the manager. He came over to our table apprehensively and I told him that that young man was the best thing his restaurant had going. The manager beamed and agreed that his young employee was special. As the boys and we put on our coats and started walking out -- I saw the manager put his arm around that child's shoulder and pat him on the back in congratulation. It will be some time before I forget the smile that beamed across that young worker's face -- or the look in his eyes as we caught each other's gaze. I wonder how long it had been since someone told him he was special.
There's someone in your life today -- a stranger you're going to come across -- who could really use that. A hand up. A warm word. Encouragement. Direction. Kindness. A Chance. We can't change what's already happened, but we can be a part of what's on the way. Speak up. Reach out. Dare to Care. Give part of You to someone else. That, my friends, can change someone's course. And then -- just maybe THEN -- I'll start feeling again like there's something nice to say.”
Bell joined WTAE in 1998. The native of Calabasas, Calif., lives in Point Breeze with her husband and five sons. Over her career, she won 21 Emmys, two Edward R. Murrow awards and a National Headliner Award.
Within hours of her firing, Bell's WTAE Facebook page was gone and she no longer appeared on WTAE's web page staff listing.
Bell returned to work at Channel 4 after a Florida vacation but never returned to the air. Station officials fired her in a meeting and then informed the rest of the news staff.
“WTAE has ended its relationship with anchor Wendy Bell,” read a statement from Hearst Television, the station's parent company. “Wendy's recent comments on a WTAE Facebook page were inconsistent with the company's ethics and journalistic standards.”
A Hearst Television spokesman declined to comment further.
Bell said Wednesday she didn't get a “fair shake” from the station and that the story was not about her. Media critics say that she's crossed the line and it was justified. Bell crossed a line by presenting her opinions as fact on her anchor Facebook page.
White extremist Colin Flaherty is a panderer of this nonsense. He claims to be legitimate agitator in the junk food media. He says that the junk food media refuses to acknowledge this stuff. He's often banned from most media outlets because of inflammatory statements.
When will there be accountability for those who wear the badge?
We shed tears for those who were killed! But who pays the price for those who are killed in their so-called justification?
Jamar Clark was shot and killed by the Minneapolis Police Department. Witnesses say that Jamar was killed as he was handcuffed. The grand jury decided that the officers didn't commit murder.
Two police officers, Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, were involved in the shooting and were subsequently placed in the freezer. The night after the shooting, Clark died at a local hospital after being taken off life support.
In response to the shooting, #BlackLivesMatter organized protests outside the Fourth Precinct police station that lasted for 18 days, as well as other protests and demonstrations in and around Minneapolis. Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced that cases concerning officer-involved shootings would no longer be put before grand juries. On March 30, 2016, Freeman announced that no charges would be filed against Ringgenberg and Schwarze.
Cop walk for two who claimed Jamar reached for the gun.
The officers said that Jamar grabbed the gun while being restrained. The grand jury decided that Jamar's actions lead to her death. For more than 30 minutes in a downtown Minneapolis news conference and with Clark’s family and supporters present, Freeman laid out in meticulous detail the evidence that led to his decision and showed video from the scene on Plymouth Avenue N.
Clark, 24, a black man, was shot in the head during the scuffle.
Officers told Clark to take his hands out of his pockets and he wouldn’t. Ringgenberg, who had initially drawn his gun, put it back in the holster and grabbed Clark’s right wrist. Schwarze grabbed Clark’s other arm and dropped his handcuffs while trying to cuff him. Ringgenberg then tried a takedown move of Clark, and they both fell to the ground with Ringgenberg’s back to Clark’s stomach.
Ringgenberg felt his holstered gun go from his hip to the small of his back. Ringgenberg reached back and felt Clark’s hand on his gun. He repeatedly told Schwarze: “He’s got my gun, he’s got my gun.”
Schwarze put his gun to edge of Clark’s mouth and said, “Let go or I’m going to shoot you.”
They said that his DNA was placed on the holster of the officer's firearm.
The shooting led to international attention, widespread local protests, and an 18-day encampment outside the police department’s Fourth Precinct in north Minneapolis, near the site of the shooting.
Police chief Janeé Harteau said her department and other law enforcement agencies have several contingency plans in place should police action against protesters be necessary. “Officers will exercise restraint,” she said. “Their actions will be based on the actions of others.”
In a prelude to rolling out the evidence followed by his decision, Freeman nodded to the spate of killings of black citizens by police officers in Chicago, Cleveland and elsewhere in the past year or so, saying, “This case is not at all similar to others seen around the country,” he said. The officers “did not have an opportunity to withdraw” from the physical conflict with Clark.
The U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services office announced that they would be conducting a review of the way the city handled the November protests.
#BlackLivesMatter plans to disrupt businesses.
Mike Freeman, Hennepin County Attorney, announced that his office would cease the use of grand juries in shootings involving police officers. The announcement was met with approval from activists and described by the Star Tribune as a "rare move" with potential ramifications throughout the country.
Later in March, in preparation for Freeman's office's announcement about whether they would be pursing charges against Ringgenberg and Schwarze, Harteau released a video warning against "violence or disruption" based on Freeman's actions.
These incidents make it harder for law enforcement to gain support from communities of color.
These issues aren't mentioned by the Republicans. They're too busy trying to tear away constitutional rights from Americans who demand police reform.
Rest in peace Jamar Clark, the system failed you and many others.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Jamar Clark.
