That old fart is facing an insurgent candidate in the Republican primary. He is going "maverick" again. Even his old running mate is considering endorsing his rival.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is the failed 2008 Republican presidential candidate.
The old fart is still bitter about the landslide. He is hoping to secure brownie points with Arizona voters by saying President Barack Obama allowed the Orlando massacre to happen.
The reason to why he blames Obama for this: because the president ended the war in Iraq.
The Republicans are inept. The Republicans would rather focus on distractions such as blaming the president for the acts of a terrorist.
McCain is pathetic warhawk who thinks bombing people is the best way to fighting terrorism.
Lindsey Graham and McCain are senile and they will waste taxpayer dollars sending bombs over the Islamic State.
Kelli Ward is winning support from the conservatives and she hopes to knock the 81 year old senator off his perch.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) laid into the Republicans yesterday on their inept actions in the wake of the terrorist attack in Orlando in which this cat laid into 50 people in aneed act of hate against the LGBT community.
Unlike the worthless filibusters from failed presidential candidates Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) this one really gets the ball rolling on gun control. This issue has been ignored with prayers and silence. The distraction from Republicans and their conservative agitating allies is the tired "Obama is taking your guns excuse" to rile up gun buyers.
President Barack Obama has said that these mass shootings have gotten out of hand. Why would we continue to have those with mental issues and possible terrorists obtain these powerful weapons?
The calls for a semi automatic weapons ban will likely go nowhere with this inept Congress.
Republicans and Donald Trump are looking forward to distancing themselves from gun control. They already made the focus on "radical Islam" and the president being "weak" on terrorism because he doesn't say it.
Republicans are really unpopular right now. With Trump as their leader, the party is going to likely suffer in the polls. Trump's rhetoric isn't helpful at all.
He doubles down on calling the president a terrorist sympathizer.
Conservative attack the president for calling for an assault weapons ban, saying Islam isn't the enemy and telling Americans that the LGBT community is loved.
If the good guy had a gun while the bad guy was shooting is a pathetic argument. It's likely the gunman or the law would shoot you knowing that you have a gun. It doesn't matter to the law if you a concealed carry, they see you as a threat. Also you could miss and shoot a hostage or an innocent victim. You could be charged with a crime.

Gawker feuds with Hulk Hogan and libertarian billionaire.
Gawker vows to continue on.
Gawker is in an all-out war with Hulk Hogan, the former wrestler who was fired out the cannon last year after he made inflammatory comments about Black people. With no money, he decides to team up with the co-founder of PayPal to take Gawker to court.
The Florida court found Gawker guilty of privacy violations and was ordered to pay up.
Gawker doesn't make that much money. So Gawker goes belly up. Gawker CEO Nick Denton said the company would appeal the verdict. Three months after the verdict, Gawker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and put itself up for sale
The wrestler successfully sued the media titian for $207 million after his sex tape of him was released to the public.
Hulkster fixing to body slam Gawker.
The wrestler was also going after Gawker when his racist rants were released to the public.
Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal, has spent about $10 million to help the wrestler Hulk Hogan sue Gawker. Thiel was publicly outed by Gawker after they did an expose about leaders in the anti-gay movement being secretly gay.
Gawker is going to fight against Thiel. The billionaire is being called-out for being a hypocrite.
Thiel is a Libertarian and supports the Republican Party. He does support the freedom of the press but just not Gawker. Since Gawker put his business out there, he decides to make it a personal mission to take them down.
Orlando deals with another tragedy. A toddler got snatched by an alligator.
The wife of the terrorist who killed 50 at Pulse is under federal watch for not tipping the law.
Many witnesses say that the terrorist was either gay or bisexual. The terrorist was on social media trying to find a date. Some of the club goers said that the terrorist was a regular at gay nightclubs.
Four of the deceased worked at Universal Studios theme park.
Orlando is the hub of magic. The magic is diminishing.
The city of Orlando and Walt Disney World both express sorrow for the family of a 2 year old boy who was snatched up by an alligator.
The boy was wading near the Seven Seas Lagoon when a 7 foot alligator took him under.
Trappers says that alligators see food regardless of what it is.
Disney posted "NO SWIMMING SIGNS" near the lagoon. There were no alligator warning signs.
The father was in the water trying to grab the alligator but the animal is way too powerful to drop the boy.
Once the alligator grab something, its likely to decapitated the prey.
Florida alligators are dangerous in populated areas. People go near these animals. Alligators are fast on land and deadly in the water.
A few weeks ago in Lakeland, trappers nabbed an alligator spotted with a human torso. The victim was not identified at the time. It has become a bigger problem now that an invasive Nile crocodile population affects the Florida alligator population.
Orange County sheriff Jerry Demings has to now deal with another horrific tragedy.
I happened to notice that the junk food media isn't looking into the criminal record of the father or mother. Is there going to be criminal charges for the family for allowing their child go into the water when it said not to.
Remember the boy at the Cincinnati Zoo being grabbed by a gorilla. The junk food media was attacking the mother for allowing her son get into the enclosure and father (who wasn't there) for having minor criminal history.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of the toddler.
We continue to cover the Orlando massacre and the death of Christina Grimmie.
Today, President Barack Obama addressed the junk food media. He said that he will be heading to Orlando to talk to mayor Buddy Dyer and the victims of the horrific mass shooting.
He also wanted to get a few things off his chest. He was pissed at Congress delaying his nominees (i.e. Supreme Court and Counter-terrorism finance analysis). He hammered Republicans for wasting taxpayer money stalling his nominees and failing to act on mass shooting tragedies.
And one thing that I happened to catch was the slick diss on conservatives complaining about the president not saying "radical Islam" and complaining about him "ignoring the threat".
Obama isn't mincing words. He said that Republicans and conservatives play political games. The term "radical Islam" doesn't stop terrorism.
Obama didn't mince words when he clapped.
I am so happy President Barack Obama hit back at Donald Trump, Matt Drudge, that old fart Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and Softball Hannity.
In the previous interviews on Fox News, many agitators have ripped the president for not saying "radical Islam". I posted my thoughts on this controversy.
Saying "radical Islam" isn't fighting terrorism. It's a divisive phrase that could inspire the Islamic State to recruit more Americans to their cause.
The president is very clear that he's fighting terrorism not Islam. And he let Trump and the Republicans have it.
“What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to try to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this?”
“The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away.”
Obama stood firm. “Not once has an adviser of mine said, ‘Man, if we really use that phrase, we’re gonna turn this whole thing around.’ Not once,” he said.
Most of these terrorists were American-born citizens. They had access to firearms and were legally able to do so.
Trump is about play catch with Softball Hannity. Trump will address the president's diss on him.
Obama questioned whether Trump would eventually resort to treating Muslim Americans differently as well, possibly subjecting them to extra surveillance or discriminating against them based on their religion.
“Where does this stop?” he asked.
“Do Republican officials actually agree with this?” Obama continued, directly challenging Republican leadership to take a stand against Trump’s toxic proposals.
Circling back to his rejection of the term “radical Islam,” the president warned against rhetoric and policies that make Muslim Americans feel like they are constantly under suspicion.
“We have gone through moments in our history before when we acted out of fear, and we came to regret it,” he said.
The Republican presumptive nominee decides to take a moment from bitching to celebrate his birthday today.
Michu Mescaros passed away. He portrays the iconic sitcom character ALF.
You know I grew up in the 1980s watching the comedy ALF. You may have not seen him in the flesh but he was the man who played ALF.
Michu Mescaros passed away at the age of 76. He was the man who dressed in the ALF costume. Meszaros was standing at the height of 2 feet 9 inches tall.
He was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home about a week ago by his manager. He spent days in a coma.
A GoFundMe page was launched to pay with his funeral expenses. He was born in Hungary. He performed in the circus before heading to television. He was billed the "smallest man in the world" as he worked in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in the 1970s.
He had opportunities to perform with the late Michael Jackson.
He got to opportunity to play the role of ALF when the shots required ALF to move around the home.
You look so delicious!
They wanted to give the impression of ALF being not only a puppet but an actual living being.
ALF (born Gordon Shumway) is a friendly and sarcastic extraterrestrial who left his dying planet of Melmac to find a new home. He crash landed in California in the home of The Tanners.
The Tanners would keep ALF in hiding. ALF would often create havoc around the home by trying to fix things. He would often hide in the kitchen away from the noisy Ochmoneks. They would often try to call the feds on the Tanners. ALF would often devise a plan to keep him and the family safe from the feds.
ALF would often find interest in the food, watching television, and sneaking out of the house much to dismay of Willie Tanner. He would often eat the food knowing that the Tanners banned him from eating the family cat.
ALF was one of the country's most memorable sitcoms.
The show was created by Paul Fusco who also voiced ALF. The show was on for nearly four years and went through 4 seasons. It also had two animated sitcoms and a TV movie.
Word on the street, Sony is working on an ALF motion picture movie.
ALF is an iconic show. The show was prime around the 1980s. NBC had led the during the 1980s with The Cosby Show, A Different World, ALF, and Family Ties dominated the network.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Michu Mescaros.

Rocko is mocking Future by calling him "Meathead". Future previously known as Meathead the Future. The Dungeon Family signed Future as a member of the group Da Connect. Rocko (right) stands with LA Reid (center) and Future (left).
Atlanta's codeine obsessed trap rapper is feuding with his old rhyming partna, Rocko da Don.
Rocko is suing Future and Epic Records over missed royalties and breach of contract. Rocko is asking for $13 million in damages. Future recorded four albums under Epic Records and one through Cash Money Records/Universal Republic with Drake.
Future is a signed act on A1 Records, the label that Rocko created. Future is signed under contract to make six albums. He is working on his fifth album slated for Winter release.
Future is laughing off the lawsuit. He believe that Rocko's light dims every time he opens his mouth.
Rocko decides embarrass Future by recapping his old rap name. Back in the day, Future was known as Meathead the Future and was rocking with the Dungeon Family. He was rhyming with Da Connect, a group that often worked with OutKast and the Goodie Mob. Future wasn't as big back in the 2000s. When he met Rocko, he learned the game and used it well.
When Rocko signed a deal with LA Reid and Jermaine Dupri during their reign on Def Jam, Future was there with him. Rocko left Def Jam and signed on to Epic Records to disturb his label A1 Entertainment. Rocko signed Future to the label.
Future denies ever getting help and said that ankle biting from Rocko hasn't helped much in sales.
Rocko is giving ammunition to Future's rival Desiigner. Future is engaged in a serious feud with New York rapper Desiigner after the single Panda took off. The rapper sounds very similar to Future and it's gotten some junk food media coverage.
Rocko said that he helped "Meathead" since 2006. He said that if it wasn't for him, "Meathead" wouldn't have the deals, the collaborations with Drake, Gucci Mane, and the hookup with Ciara.
A video posted by DON ROCKO C.E.O. 🅰1️⃣ (@rocko2real) on
Future is getting his Freebandz Records together. He teamed up with Black Migo Gang leader Young Scooter to make the label. The label is starting to sign acts and Rocko is not a part of that.
Rocko had gave Future his break and I guess the rapper gave him the finger.
Future is the hottest act in hip-hop. He's turned up and blasting off. But that "Meathead" label might stick around a bit. Assured that rappers who feud with Future will now refer to him as that god awful name.
Note: Future is the father of five children. One of the children comes from my second cousin who met him when he wasn't famous.
DeWayne Michael Carter, Jr. (known as Lil' Wayne) may have suffered a seizure while on flight to California.
According to TMZ, the 33-year old rapper suffered a seizure, forcing his private jet to make an emergency landing at Omaha's Eppley Field.
The rapper in the beginning didn't want treatment but later suffered from another seizure and reportedly lost consciousness. KETV NewsWatch 7 reports that rapper was taken to Creighton University Medical Center CHI Health.
The rapper makes it no secret he's addicted to the lean and molly. He is reportedly under the influence of cocaine.
According to the junk food media, Tunechi said that he's epileptic. It may have had something to do with his obsession with the lean.
Lil' Wayne is currently feuding with his label Cash Money Records.
The 2 Chainz album Collegrove was supposed to be a collaboration album with Lil' Wayne. Cash Money Records blocked the project because it's not a contractual album release. It would become 2 Chainz's album with guest vocals from Lil' Wayne. It was released by Def Jam.
World News Today send our prayers to Lil' Wayne and his family.
Failed presidential candidate Marco Rubio doesn't call the Orlando shooting a hate crime. He calls it "radical Islam".This is an prime example of terrorism. The U.S. senator and many Republicans forget that the victims were part of the LGBT community. They pretend to be "concern" about the victims.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
There were probably many other gun crimes in the city of Orlando. This one managed to touch us all.
What has the junk food media and the world watching was the worst mass shooting in American history. The Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando by this madman sparked feverish debate over gun control, terrorism, bullying at the workplace, protecting those who LGBT and Muslims in the wake of a tragedy.
Already, Zero Hedge and The Gateway Pundit are saying this terrorist was a "liberal" and "registered Democrat". These websites are part of the problem here in America. They rush to judgement and we're quickly condemn people who are not the shooter. I don't give a flying fuck about the political views of a terrorist. They often do this nonsense to deflect the issues away from conservatives.
Obviously, if he was a registered Democrat, you wouldn't hear the name U.S. senator Marco Rubio or Florida governor Rick Scott. Yeah, he came from a district that is R+3 and it's represented by Patrick Murphy, a congressman who is running for the senate as a Democrat. He was a Republican who got fed up with the insurgency's ignorance. He and his challenger Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) will beg for the NRA's support.
After the junk food media leaves the area, what happens next?
The Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump licked his chops yesterday by posting on social media that he was "right" about this tragedy. This is the 15th time President Barack Obama spoke to the nation on the wake of a mass shooting. Obama said this was an act of terror and hate.
The terrorists believe that the inept Congress is giving away the farm. The inept Congress will not pass a law that bans automatic assault weapons or a stricter background check. Law abiding individuals can purchase a firearm. Even if you're under federal watch, you can purchase a firearm.
If you say that you hate Blacks, Hispanics, illegals, Muslims, gays, Jews, police, America and the government in rantings or public venue, you're entitled to do so. You are still able to purchase firearms. You're not committing any criminal act whatsoever. You just expressing violate speech.
If you were under federal watch, as long as you hate without causing an eminent threat, you can gun hoard.
Republicans quickly pounced on the president for not saying *drumroll* "radical Islam". Yet, they refuse to say this act was a hate crime.
How is saying "radical Islam" fighting terrorism?
Nothing.
Like I've said, the Republican and conservative agitators use the only muscle they got in the fight against terrorism. It's their tongues. And it's tongue tied with rhetoric that's not helpful in stopping it.
In other words, this was terrorism and a hate crime. This was an event in which a madman massacred so many people who were out having a good time.
Republicans now start having "concern" for the LGBT community. They continue to push the narrative that if "the good guy had a gun". The good guy had a gun, he was shot at and a member of the SWAT team got hit in the head by the gunman. Luckily, he was protected by his teflon helmet.
Republicans are saying that the LGBT community should start thinking about how Democrats treat them as pawns in the wake of a mass shooting.
In Elkhart, Indiana, President Barack Obama said with frustration that he has a list of people on federal watch and he can't stop them from purchasing firearms because the inept Congress won't pass legislation that bans semi-automatic firearms. They can't pass a stricter background check.
The good guy with a gun was nearly killed by the terrorist.
I am having trouble trying to understand that for all the innocent lives killed in senseless acts of violence, we debate this stuff and then after awhile it disappears from the radar.
Over 50 people lost their lives to this senseless act of violence for being gay, transgender or straight.
They were having a good time at the club. Who knew that their night out was their last! Besides the death of 29 year old terrorist Omar Mateen, the victims who were confirmed by the Associated Press include a various group of men and women between the ages of 21 to 42. There were 36 names released to the junk food media.

Let's remind the kookspirary nuts on the internet that these victims aren't "crisis actors." This is not a FEMA training video or a deliberate government sanction murder. This is a crazy man with a gun firing off at anyone standing in his way.
FBI director James Comey said that the terrorist had faced bullying from co-workers. His ex-wife said that he was abusive to her and showed signs of bipolar disorder. His father said that he held strong angst towards gay men who were in public kissing or holding hands. The FBI said that in their investigation of the terrorist, he told them he was "joking" and upset over being bullied over his religion.
All these issues don't excuse the callous acts of this terrorist. But it's giving the insight to the motives.
THE NICE GUY + DEEPLY HELD RELIGIOUS BELIEFS + TIES TO ORGANIZATIONS OR INSPIRATION BY EVENTS (FOREIGN WAR/BULLIED/LOST A JOB/FAILED RELATIONSHIP) + SOFT TARGETS (MALLS/SCHOOLS/MOVIE THEATERS/NIGHTCLUB/CHURCH) + ACCESS TO FIREARMS (AR 15) + NAME RECOGNITION (SUICIDE NOTE/WRITTEN MOTIVES) = JUNK FOOD MEDIA COVERAGE.
World News Today send our condolences to the victims.
Our friends in LGBT and Muslim community grieve with the rest of the world.
George Voinovich the former U.S. senator and governor from Ohio passed away in Cleveland.
Former U.S. senator and governor of Ohio George Voinovich passed away today. His family confirmed that the former lawmaker died peacefully in his sleep.
He died a few weeks shy of his 80th birthday.
Voinovich was one of the most popular lawmakers in the state. He was a politically moderate at best.
He was then the mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. Probably one of the last Republican mayors of the city.
Voinovich served two terms as Ohio Governor in the 1990s and two terms in the U.S. Senate, capping a political career that started in 1963 and led him to the Cleveland mayor's office on his way to the governor's office and then Washington. He was 79.
Voinovich earned a reputation as a tightwad during his years in office, especially as governor from 1991 to 1999.
Voinovich with his predecessor Rob Portman. Portman is the current U.S. Senator for Ohio.
He shined his own shoes, bought his clothes on sale, and when he learned public money was used to buy snacks served on state airplanes, he banned the snacks. He also sold one of the state's airplanes.
He was slated to be a delegate for the Republican National Convention in the city.
His predecessor is Rob Portman, the former Bush official who was also a U.S. representative from Cincinnati.
Right now, Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and former Ohio governor Ted Strickland both are facing off for the U.S. senate race for the state. Ohio's leans determine who may become the next President of the United States.
Of course, Voinovich was mentioned by the two in their prayers to his family.
Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama won the state and the presidency.
Ohio and Florida are the most hotly contested races for 2016. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is hoping to win these states. The states are the key to winning the presidency.
Portman is also facing a tougher race also. But the state's leanings may be in his favor. Strickland is not getting name recognition and his term as governor was mirrored in failure. He's got an uphill battle to win this.
OHIO in the U.S. Senate race is LEANING REPUBLICAN.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of George Voinovich. This the last speech Voinovich given before he passed away.
According to online trolls, grieving mother Christine Leinonen is a "crisis actor". Her son Christopher could be one of the victims of this mass shooting. Chris and his boyfriend were shot at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Facebook activated the "I AM SAFE" option yet again. They have ignored the other tragedies in the world.
Facebook, the social media titan is the gateway for trolls and racists to act out in the wake of an event.
Facebook, Twitter, Disqus, and Reddit are giving credence to anti-Muslim, anti-LGBT and anti-Obama rhetoric.
Ignorance is a part of America. You can't do nothing to stop it. In the court of public opinion, you fixated on one thing. Blaming someone other than the shooter.
It's unfortunate that the agitators are too stupid to notice or they just don't give a fuck about it.
We can't bring back the dead. And there's no acting in the wake of a horrific mass shooting. This act of terrorism already sparks the political blame game. Conservatives show "concern" for the victims.
Conservatives will have a "told you so moment". The terrorist is a Muslim. He targeted gays. The junk food media and liberal agitators vilified conservatives who were anti-gay. The event happened in liberal Orlando. The excuse of a good guy with a gun will be floated once again by those in the AM agitator realm.
Now I've been hearing word that some in the Alex Jones universe is calling the most deadliest shooting in history fake.
They believe the grieving families and the victims are crisis actors.
Damn, we're living in dire straits. This country is going down the drain if we elected bigots like Donald Trump to the White House.
These folks are supporters of the global conspiracy movement. These folks believe 9/11 is an inside job. They believe that the Sandy Hook victims and family members were all actors engaged in a federal plot to confiscate firearms.
The Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando sparked feverish debate over terrorism and gun control.
No amount of prayers and calls of saying "radical Islam" could bring back those lost in this tragedy.
World News Today once again covers this horrific tragedy and the death of Christina Grimmie.
