Congressman John Lewis (D-GA) returned to his protesting roots. He staged a sit-in inside the House of Representatives chamber after House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) decided to call for a recess instead of a floor vote. It's becoming a trending issue.
Call the Congress on (202) 224-3121 to demand the House of Representatives do their jobs and pass bipartisan measures to stop gun violence.
Tell them that they need to get things done. Enough of the prayers and silence.
Gotta give up to the Democratic Party. They finally got a spine. They are staging sit-in in the House of Representatives today. They are getting tired of Republicans and their constant inaction on gun violence.
In the wake of the Orlando massacre, Democrats call upon a bill that bans people on the controversial "NO FLY LIST" to have no access to firearms. The Republicans objected to this notion because they believe that the bill would include conservative groups on this list.
Republicans rather waste time chasing after Hillary Clinton's emails than focus on actual issues. They rather waste $9.4 million on Benghazi than a bill that deals with the reasons contributing to gun violence.
By the way, concern trolls: The Democrats mentioned gun violence in every community. It's just not in Orlando, but Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit and many urban centers. The lawmakers have expressed outrage at Republicans for ignoring the concerns of families who want gun control.
They believe that the National Rifle Association and the acolytes of the conservative media will try to distort the message. They are running a sit in on Periscope.
Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) started this sit-in around late morning and it's being recorded on social media through Periscope.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA) are running it through Periscope and it's been streamed live on CSPAN.
The junk food media have ignored the cries from Democrats.
The Republicans have control of the floor and they cut off the cameras and started their umpteenth recess.
#NOFLYNOBUY is becoming a hashtag as well as #NOBILLNOBREAK.
While the conservatives are bitching about the scourge of "radical Islam", they turn a blind eye to the "radical Christians" who promote the same rhetoric.
Religious extremism is a threat to the United States.
Unfortunately, GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
We all mourned the tragedy in Orlando. This terrorist murdered 49 people before the law put him down. As the world mourn the lost of innocence, this asshole pastor from California was excited.
Roger Jimenez was making national news when he said Orlando is a little safer tonight knowing that 50 pedophiles were killed. He only wished "the tragedy [would have taken out] that more of them.
He said that he wasn't one bit upset over this. He wished this terrorist would have finished everyone off.
These comments were condemned by the world and the public went to protest his church.
He laughed at them and said that the junk food media has given him new attendees.
The backlash gotten so much attention, the owner of the property said that Jimenez can practice his religion in his garage.
The property management and owner of the building in which Verity Baptist Church and its Pastor Roger Jimenez preside have decided not to renew the church's lease, and have asked church officials to consider moving.
His attacks on the LGBT and Muslim community are disgusting. In the wake of a tragedy, the concern trolls often find blame with those who aren't the shooter.
This mass shooting has sparked issues on gun violence, hate crimes against Muslims and the LGBT, and terrorism (domestic and international).
This bigot is free to express his bile around the pughs. Unfortunately he's not going to do it at his original location. He's outta of there!
Good riddance.
We mourn with the families of the Orlando tragedy. Our friends in the LGBT and Muslim community have our support.
Magazine claims Michael Jackson had a stash of kiddie porn.
We're coming to the seventh year since the passing of Michael Jackson. He died of a drug overdose and it set the world ablaze. On June 25, the world will mourn a legend.
Well there might be some who might willing to mark the death after Radar Magazine reported on this bombshell. During the Michael Jackson child molestation trial, the California state investigators obtained a trove of child and bondage porn in the Neverland Ranch estate.
There were gruesome pornography featuring animal torture, S&M and gore.
There were dozens of investigators who were seen on video examining the property.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's office found some really nutty shit in the trove of MJ's digital devices.
The 88-page report cites several picture books, magazines, and videos containing images of nude and semi-nude children. The items described as material intended to "groom" young victims and reduce their sexaul inhinbitions.
The Jackson family spoke out against the report saying that it's pretty much bullshit. Even the Santa Barbara County Sheriff questioned the report. They denied leaking this to the press.
The Jackson family released this statement.
Seven years ago this coming Saturday, the world lost an amazing artist and humanitarian devoted to helping children in need in all corners of the world. Michael Jackson's fans, including the Executors of his estate, prefer to remember the wonderful gifts Michael left behind instead of having to once again see his good name dragged through the mud by tabloid trash.
Everything in these reports, including what the County of Santa Barbara calls "content that appears to be obtained off the internet or though unknown sources" is false, no doubt timed to the anniversary of Michael's passing. Those who continue to shamelessly exploit Michael via sleazy internet "click bait" ignore that he was acquitted by a jury in 2005 on every one of the salacious charges brought against him in a failed witch hunt.
MIchael remains just as innocent of these smears in death as he was in life even though he isn't here to defend himself. Enough is enough.
The Estate of Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson estate is worth an estimated $2 billion. His three children Blanket (Michael, Jr.), Prince Michael and Paris Michael Jackson are in the custody of his mother Katherine Jackson.
Time to go..! Republicans are extremely bad at what they do.
In the wake of a mass shooting, the Congress continues to be inept.
Congress continues to support terrorism by allowing them access to firearms. The four amendments that could prevent access to firearms if you're on a terrorist watch list failed.
Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Joe Manchin (D-MT) aided the Republicans in crashing the bills.
The background check amendment failed, the terrorist watch list amendment and the semi automatic weapons ban were dismissed by the senate.
The GOP and those spineless Democrats have once again failed in passing reasonable gun control in the wake of terrorism, mass shootings and grieving families.
Is it time for the voters to dismiss the inept lawmakers?
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) voted for the bills. He said this opportunity missed shows that Congress is totally inept and the National Rifle Association once again wins the battle.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. CONGRESS ALLOWS THESE SENSELESS ACTS OF VIOLENCE TO CONTINUE!
I am really tired of the Republicans in control of Congress. They can't pass laws, they stall President Barack Obama's nominees and continue to waste taxpayer money grandstanding.
Always the asshole, O'Reilly goes after Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC).
Sometimes you want to slap the shit out of some people. That's figuratively speaking of course. But for those in the junk food media, what you say could end up getting you fired out the cannon.
It's a damn shame that Bill O'Reilly hasn't gotten fired out the cannon for all the shit that comes vomiting out his mouth. He is still the reigning king of agitation. The O'Reilly Factor continues to be America's top cable news program. And despite the boycotts, the hand wringing and the bitter feuds with people he deem "pinheads", O'Reilly is still on making the Fox News executives rich.
His demeanor and his attitude towards others is disgusting.
The way he treats others is the reason why he's a divorced man. The way he acts is the reason why his children aren't in his custody.
He's feuding with Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC) over the Orlando massacre.
He accused the Democrats of being soft on terrorism and turning the focus solely on firearms.
The Politico reports that the conservative agitator made an appearance on Fox & Friends when he let his tongue slip.
Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC).
It just angers me. There’s two separate issues: There's the terrorism, and there’s the gun control. But what was it, Congressman Clyburn, is that his name?" O'Reilly said.
Then O'Reilly launched into an impression of Clyburn's voice and speech patterns: "It’s not about terrorism; it's about gun control," referring to comments Clyburn made on MSNBC on Tuesday, a day after he followed a moment of silence for the Orlando victims by asking House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) when gun-control legislation would be considered.
"You know, and I just want to slap him," O'Reilly said, adding, "with all due respect."
"You know? What is it going to take? Do the ISIS people have to come to your backyard, do they have to put you in the cage? Because they will," O’Reilly continued. "So when you start to — when you start to tell Americans lies, that there isn’t a terror threat, that it's all about gun control, only if we banned all guns we'd be safe from ISIS. When you start to lie at that level, and it's acceptable lies, then we're in trouble as a country."
Clyburn's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
O’Reilly said in the same segment that Congress should be able to decide whether there are certain weapons that cannot be sold to the public.
"I mean, look, I think that Americans who are sane — there are crazy people on the right, too — I get letters, like, 'I want my assault rifles, and don’t you come near me!' Listen, pal, this isn't anarchy here," O’Reilly said, giving another impression of an outraged viewer. "If Congress decides there are certain weapons [that] can't be sold to the public, that's our country. You can't buy a mortar, you can't have hand grenades, so if there are giant rifles with big clips that Congress believes is a danger, then that's what we accept. Let's debate it and vote on it."
The Congressional Black Congress call upon O'Reilly to formally apologize to Clyburn.
O'Reilly shrugged off the calls for an apology. In typical fashion, O'Reilly brings up the murder rate in Chicago. The city has experienced another rough summer with gun violence.
Conservatives continue to run this bullshit about Black violence being ignored by the Congressional Black Caucus, #BlackLivesMatter and President Barack Obama. It just don't get much coverage on Fox News because they're too busy demonizing Black leaders.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES AND REPUBLICANS ARE ONCE AGAIN IGNORING THE REAL THREAT.
Congressman Clyburn has been actively calling for an assault weapons ban. His state was the site of the Charleston massacre at Mother Emanuel AME Church.
Donald Trump had to deliver his trademark "You're fired" on his top man. Corey Lewandowsky is fired out the cannon weeks ahead of the Republican National Convention.
Lewandowsky was a controversial figure in the Trump campaign. He was caught up in his own issue when he shoved a news agitator at a Trump rally.
It's the ominous signs of a struggling campaign.
Trump is trying to rebound from a few weeks of mishaps and Republican concern. Trump is still struggling to win appeal from the establishment.
Trump's inner circle was extremely worried by the falling poll numbers.
They want Trump to focus only on Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama.
With Trump focusing on Republicans who are going against him, it's causing a huge distraction that may keep GOP donors away from him.
Michelle Fields now works at the Huffington Post and I can only imagine how she feels about this bit of news.
Lewandowsky went to CNN to thank Trump for allowing him be a part of an "amazing " campaign.
Word on the street, Eric, Donald Jr., and Ivanka were not pleased with the campaign and they wanted dad to get rid of him.
Briefly, the Cleveland Cavaliers knocked off the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the NBA Championship. The Warriors were considered the favorites to sweep this. But it seems like the Cavs splashed their dreams out the water.
It's a historical win for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The NBA Championship comes to LaBron James, Kyrie Irving, JR Smith, Kevin Love, and Tristan Thompson.
52 Years in the Making.
93-89 was the final score for the Cavaliers.
Congratulations to the 2016 NBA Champions.
Came from a 3-1 deficit to beat a team that everyone believed would have a REPEAT.
Rubio is considering running for reelection despite saying he's done. The Orlando massacre and the weak field has Republicans begging for him to stay.
Could he win?
Does Florida wants a candidate who doesn't really want the job?
Who knows? The race is still TOSS UP and the Democrats are hoping to embarrass Republican once again.
Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) and Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) and about half a dozen Republicans are competing candidates for the open seat being vacated by the most thirstiest senator in the state.
Marco Rubio, the failed Republican candidate for president had the backing of most of the establishment. He had a halo around his head. The Republicans were banking on either Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio securing the nomination.
Unfortunately, Donald Trump stepped into the arena and knocked Little Marco out.
Rubio went back to Florida in disgrace. Now this terrorist attack in Orlando has gotten major attention. The Republicans fear this controversy could help Democrats win a crucial seat.
Rubio is seriously considering running. Rep. David Jolly (R-FL), the freshman lawmaker who replaced coke boy Trey Radel was a favorite among the Republicans. But with little name recognition and lack of interest, Jolly decided to bow out clearing the way for Rubio to jump in if he choose to.
Rubio has the worst voting record in the senate. Since he started in 2011, the Republican has been gearing up for a presidential bid.
The Three Stooges stand firm in guns, name calling and all out bitching. Chris Cox, Donald Trump and Wayne LaPierre go to GOP Sundays to deny facts. Sen. Jeff Session (R-AL) comes along for the ride.
Ignorance continues to be a part of American culture. We are numb to gun violence. Everyday 20 to 50 people are killed by firearms. About 3,000 people are killed by firearms.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch heads to GOP Sundays to discuss the Orlando massacre, Hillary Clinton's emails, and the president's gun control proposals.
Congress continues to hold a moment of silence and their prayers with the
There's not enough prayers to stop this.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Donald Trump goes to GOP Sundays to discuss his falling poll numbers, his upcoming appearance at the oldest gun lobbyist group the National Rifle Association and why he is being criticized by fellow Republicans.
The NRA president and spokesman for the group go to GOP Sundays to defend their stance on firearms. Chris Cox, the president of the the NRA-ILA and chairman Wayne LaPierre both appear on GOP Sundays to complain about the president and Lynch.
Mind you that LaPierre is an idiot and he couldn't even say her name right.
Wayne LaPierre says that "Janet" Lynch and her gun grabbing losers at the Justice Department ain't going to take his gun.
The Brady Foundation teams up with the victims of gun violence to head to Virginia with the intentions of protesting the NRA's stubborn views on gun violence.
Also the old tired argument of the "good guy with the gun".
In the wake of an active shooting, the good guy with a gun wouldn't be even capable of stopping a threat given the mass shooter having an automatic firearm. The law doesn't see a "good guy" with the gun. They see a threat. Even if you disarm the threat, the law might mistake you as a threat or you could end up injuring a victim. You will likely face criminal charges if you kill an innocent victim.
The good guy with a gun argument is stupid. You can't predict the motivations of a mass shooter.
Trevor Noah and Jordan Klepper knocks down the argument of a "good guy" with the gun.
Man gunned down while sharing his life on social media.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
It's easy to purchase a firearm without any questions. The inept Republican-controlled Congress refuses to act in the wake of senseless gun tragedies. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) are total failures as leaders.
They fear the NRA more than the victims of gun violence. They rather try to blame the president for gun violence and terrorist attacks.
Gun sales are up everytime there's a mass shooting. The Orlando massacre is officially a week in.
While the junk food media zeros in on Orlando, other areas in the United States have seen a spike in gun violence.
Between March and September, it starts to get warmer. Gun violence begins usually around late March when the people shed their coats and embrace the sun. On sunny days, gun violence increases.
People with access to firearms can use them on anyone. A bullet doesn't care what it hits. It's always going to hit a target.
Chicago is well on its way to another deadly summer. The mass shootings in the third largest city is a contribution towards domestic terrorism. Gang violence is terrorism as well. The Chicago Police are releasing the name of the victim. They say he had ties to domestic terrorists.
A man was shot in the head and chest at point blank range while he was sharing his life on social media. He was livestreaming on Facebook when a person comes out of nowhere and pops him within seconds.
As the man drops, you hear the screams of people while the camera is rolling.
Antonio Perkins became an internet sensation for all the wrong reasons. He was gunned down while filming with his friends in Chicago's North Lawn District.
The 14-minute video featured the man hanging out when six minutes later, gun shots were heard. Antonio drops to the ground and people start screaming. The shooting happened in the dusk hours so it's hard to capture the suspects on the video.
Facebook expressed its condolences to the family of Antonio Perkins and told the junk food media that the video had to be pulled because it violated the terms of service.
Social media has taken off as of lately. An Islamic State follower murdered two French cops and posts it on social media. Then a group of teen livestreamed on Periscope a girl being raped in Ohio.
Even some of the victims of the Orlando massacre filmed the event for video clicks. Instead of exiting the building some would film the guy gunning down innocent victims.
Now like all concern trolls, conservatives automatically blame someone else other than the shooter.
No outrage over the Ohio woman and man who livestreamed the rape of a girl.
To conservatives he's just another dead NIGGER who probably deserved his own death.
Already a hour since the video went viral, the word vomit of Obama and #BlackLivesMatter came up. Since President Barack Obama has a home in Chicago and the #BlackLivesMatter focuses on police reform, according to conservatives, they attack the cops and ignore Black on whatever crime.
Of course, the conservatives lie about the president and the movement. The president is actively talking about gun violence and Chicago. The #BlackLivesMatter movement hasn't ignored gun violence. They are having a gathering today in the wake of this senseless tragedy.
And it will be ignored by the junk food media. Once it splashes on The Drudge Report, WorldNetDaily or Colin Flaherty's shithole, it's covered only for the fact it was a Black man being killed and Obama doesn't care.
To the conservative trolls, it's just another dead NIGGER from CHICONGO!
Wondering if the boy who was killed by an alligator became a pissing match between conservatives who send their condolences to the family of the boy while chastising the family of another boy who gotten into a zoo enclosure and was dragged by a gorilla.
No one seems to point out that the man was enjoying life when this cold hearted killer murdered him with no remorse.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Antonio Perkins.
Trump calls for boycott of APPLE after they dropped the endorsement of the Republican Convention.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the brand isn't going to be a part of the Republican National Convention. This comes as blow to the Republican Party's outreach to individuals.
Republicans fear they could lose the Congress if Donald Trump continues on with the divisive rhetoric. In July 18-21, the Republican National Convention will in Cleveland, Ohio and Donald Trump will accept the nomination for the party. Many Republicans fear that Trump could damage the brand for a generation. His attacks on fellow Republicans and those who distance themselves from him has made the party lose confidence in their chances.
The Color of Change is hoping that companies see Donald Trump as the bigot he is. They want national brands to back out of sponsoring the event.
Walmart and Coca-Cola both backed out of both conventions.
The distancing from Trump is a sign of problems awaiting the party. The party's far right politicos and agitators are driving the party off the cliff.
Washed up actor Scott Baio is a canceled sitcom. He's going after the president for not saying "radical Islam". Saying he supports terrorism.
Washed up celebrity Scott Baio calls President Barack Obama a terrorist.
You may remember Baio who played Chachi from Happy Days and Charles from Charles in Charge.
No, you don't!
Well here's some real shit going on! Baio is a big time Republican. He's certainly in the tank for Donald Trump. He's pretty damn sure about the president being a sympathizer towards the Islamic State.
The washed up celebrity went on Fox Business Network to give his two cents on the Orlando massacre.
Baio kept calling "Lester" for some reason—that Obama is either dumb, a Muslim, or a Muslim sympathizer. "I don't think he's dumb," Baio clarified. The erstwhile Bob Loblaw also wondered if Obama's secret goal is to “totally eliminate the United States as it was created and founded and the way it is now?”
Baio was in the news sometime ago. He posted on social media a racist tweet about First Lady Michelle Obama. He said that he was snubbed by Hollywood after this. Many in the industry pretty much wiped him like toilet paper and flushed him down the toilet.
Of course the president doesn't mince words when it comes to fighting terrorism. He said that the Republican Party and their conservative allies have often used their tongues instead of brains.
Calling the threat "radical Islam" isn't going to make the threat go away. Yet, Republicans and conservative agitators (i.e. Softball Hannity) would waste their time blaming the 1.6 billion worshippers of the Muslim faith.
Baio is a piece of shit. He seriously believes the first Black president is a "MUSLIM".
Damn shame that Baio isn't hiding in an Indiana trailer park like his former co-star Erin Moran.
Here's the list of washed up celebrity Trump supporters.
Silk and Diamond (Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson)
Dennis Rodman
Scott Baio
Wayne Newton
Kid Rock
Ted Nugent
Mike Tyson
Bobby Knight
Tila Tequila
Hulk Hogan
Kristie Alley
Gary Busey
Jon Voight
Terrell Owens
Jerry Lewis
Meatloaf
Willie Robertson
Azealia Banks
And the list will keep on growing and it might be another episode of Celebrity Apprentice.
Wonder what the conservatives are going to complain about once Obama's out of office?
