Dayton iconic venue the Hara Arena and Exhibition Center is closing. It will hold its last event on August 27 before it closes.
The Hamvention, a gathering amateur ham radio operators often hold their events at the facility. The news is devastating to the community. The city of Trotwood is a "ghost town".
Bill Goodman's Gun and Rifle Show, the City's Flea Market, WWE Wrestling, the Dayton Demonz, The Annual Bride Show and high school proms were often held at the Hara Arena.
Not to mention rock shows, hip-hop concerts and monster truck rallies were held at the event.
According to the local news agitators, the venue's internal legal fight couldn't be solved.
The Wamplers are feuding with one another over the direction of the depleted complex. When you pass by it, it looks so run down and it was in need of repairs.
Trotwood hopes to score the Montgomery County Fairgrounds near the property. Mind you that Dayton was hoping to convert the current venue into a mix-used lifestyle center.
Kind of reminds me of the failed Ballpark Village.
Sad days are ahead in Dayton, Ohio.
Matter of fact, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were supposed to have their first debate at the Wright State University's Nutter Center. The event was canceled and it cost Dayton badly.
They claimed that event would cost $8 - 10 million. Wright State University will be passed on when 2020 comes.
Dayton a rust belt city with 137,000 residents A city that sits within 70 miles of Columbus, 90 miles of Indianapolis and 60 miles of Cincinnati. Dayton is a city that has no value whatsoever.
As we wrap up the Democratic Convention, the Democrats have achieved another feat. For the first time in American history, a woman became the nominee of a presidential ticket.
Hillary Clinton is officially the nominee of the Democratic Party. As you know, the Democratic Party is more diverse than the Republican Party. The Republicans nominated Donald Trump, another old White, condescending individual who's only way of winning is whistling through the woods.
You have Moral Monday's founder William Barber deliver a powerful speech on unity and how to be a Christian.
You have Khizer Khan, the father of Humayun S.M. Khan speak on the behalf of Muslims and U.S. military soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) mocked Melania Trump by dressing in a similar dress.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar came out to speak and he addressed himself as "Michael Jordan" because Donald Trump wouldn't recognize what type of Muslim he is.
So far we're going to have most ugliest, most divisive election in American history.
Conservatives already pouncing on her speech. They go after her voice, flag pins, ratings of the DNC, Sanders supporters, and her pantsuit.
Trump's Republican backers order him to more presidential. He ignores it.
The convention bump got Donald Trump and Mike Pence in a slight lead against Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine. Trump is still defiant. The Republicans are urging him to be more presidential. Trump is ignoring that and it's starting to effect his chances.
I believe that Trump has a slight lead at 50% against Hillary Clinton 48% with 2% undecided.
Donald Trump is doing damage control after he made the comment that he would advocate Russia to hack into the emails of Hillary Clinton. Democrats are calling the notion treasonous.
Given the Democrats trying to save grace after the Wikileaks scandal. Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign after the scandal broke that DNC officials were trash talking Bernie Sanders through emails. The FBI is investigating who is responsible for the leaks.
Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder is holed up in an embassy in fear of being detained for sexual assault. He claims responsibility for the hack and denies Russia had ties to it.
Trump found some way to exploit the situation.
In Miami, Trump did a presser to blast Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine. He would get riled up over the fact that the Democrats are attacking him for being inept as a leader.
Trump on the defense saying it was just a joke.
"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."
Those comments got him in trouble. The intelligence community is probably shaking their heads thinking that it's simply stupid.
The Republicans are alarmed by this.
As usual, Trump's biggest backers, old fart Rush Limbaugh, internet creeper Matt Drudge and Softball Hannity will find some way to make the conversation about President Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
Clinton gets O to speak on her behalf. Trump didn't get a Bush, McCain or Romney shout out!
Day three was a good one. The Clinton campaign brought out the big guns. They got the full fledge endorsement of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg, and even the actress from cult cop drama Cagney & Lacey.
I mean this was one for the record books. President Barack Obama won the night. Hillary Clinton comes out to address the president and embraces him.
Obama called Donald Trump a homegrown demagogue. He took shots at Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio and Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke, Jr. when he addressed the we need to elect new mayors, new sheriffs and new district attorneys.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) gets a nod for mocking Donald Trump's "Trust Me" rhetoric. Kaine introduced himself to the world as the father of three, a former governor, former mayor and father. failed to mention he was a former DNC chief.
Vice President Joe Biden gets very emotional about his son Beau, the fight for cancer research and the love of his life Dr. Jill Biden. He also slammed Donald Trump for malarkey.
Christine Leinonen spoke on behalf the families in the Orlando massacre. She was being labeled a "crisis actor" by the agitators of the alt-right. She gave an emotional plea for background checks and a ban to semi-automatic rifles.
The six cops who allow Freddie Gray to die in custody walk free.
It's a win for the police and loss for the victims of police violence.
Marilyn Mosby comes out a loser in the fight against the crooked cops of Baltimore. The six officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray are walking free with their heads held high and their union leader gloating.
Accountability is what the residents want.
All the remaining officers who were to go to free
Brian Rice, Alicia White, Caesar Goodson, William Porter, Edward Nero and Garrett Miller were indicted by the prosecutor for negligent homicide.
The prosecutor didn't have enough evidence to indict those officers.
Freddie Gray's family is extremely disappointed in this development.
Conservatives are gloating once again and using their divisive nonsense to blame President Barack Obama for this.
The Baltimore Police is working on initiatives for better community relations.
John Hinckley, Jr., the would be assassin of 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan is going to be back on the streets.
U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman issued an order to allow the release. He will leave the federal nut house after serving a 35 year bid. He is going to ordered to live with his mama and have no contact with Ron, Jr, Michael Reagan and Patti Davis. He will not have any contact with actress/director Jodie Foster.
In 1981, Hinckley was standing outside a Washington, DC hotel watching Reagan leave out.
He shot Reagan at point blank range. He also injured James Brady, Tom Delahanty and Tim McCarthy.
Brady was left paralyzed and strongly advocated for gun control. He would pass away without getting any needle moved on gun control.
Hinckley was driven by Taxi Driver in which he had a huge crush on Foster playing the role of a teenage prostitute and Robert DeNiro as Travis Bickle, the anti-establishment taxi driver who saves her from an abusive pimp.
The judge says he's no threat to the public. No comment from President Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
History was made on day two of the Democratic National Convention. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton became the first woman ever to represent a national party's presidential ticket.
She became a historical feat. The Democratic Party is willing to take on policies Republicans often scare voters with.
Bernie Sanders officially ends his bid for president. He went forth to embrace the Clinton campaign by saying he will pledge his delegates to her and help her win the election.
The night went to Bill Clinton who best described his wife, the former first lady and former secretary of state. The 42nd President of the United States was the most successful and deeply controversial of the modern day presidents. While he didn't lead us into a costly war, a near recession and a deeply partisan environment, Bill Clinton had his misfortunes in women. He was allegedly having numerous affairs on Hillary Clinton.
She shown strength by standing by Bill despite her angry towards him for the affairs.
Bill delivered a 45 minute speech with standing ovation and boos from the Bernie Bros.
As Clinton became the nominee, Bernie Sanders supporters stormed out the convention floor.
The FBI is investigating the Wikileaks email bombshell. The emails forced Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to step down. Julian Assange who is currently held up in an embassy is facing charges in numerous countries said that he wants to damage Hillary Clinton's chances.
Democrats gave support to the mothers of #BlackLivesMatter. The mothers of Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Jordan Davis, Eric Garner and Michael Brown gave a compassionate speech about their lost family members. They gave praise to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for giving them a message.
The winners of the day was of course Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and the mothers of a movement (#BlackLivesMatter).
Terry McAuliffe, the controversial governor of Virginia and former DNC chairman himself got booed and hissed when he threw his support for the Trans Pacific Trade Agreement.
Actresses Lena Dunham, America Ferrera, Meryl Streep and Elizabeth Banks threw their support to Hillary Clinton. Pop singer/actress Alicia Keys closed out the event with a plea for unity.
The Democratic Convention pledges for a stronger progressive agenda. That agenda will be exploited by Donald Trump, Softball Hannity, internet creeper Matt Drudge and old fart Rush Limbaugh.
She couldn't predict her own death. Miss Cleo aka Youree Harris passed away!
"Call me now!"
The words of the famous words of TV psychic Miss Cleo. Well the junk food media broke the news that the actress behind the controversial Psychic Readers & Friends Network passed away today.
Youree Harris, the self proclaimed psychic who swamped the networks with commercials during the late 1990s until mid 2000s.
She passed away from complications with cancer. Harris also went by Ree Perris, Youree Cleomili, Youree Dell Harris, Rae Dell Harris and Lady Cleo. Although she had the Jamaican accent, Harris was originally from Los Angeles.
She grew up in Seattle, and trained in voice acting and landed a few roles on television during the 1980s.
Her big break came when she put on the Carribbean head scarf and started winging it with the voice of ya shamen! Those commercials were annoying as hell. They were everywhere.
They were pulled after the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice ended the charade. Prosecutors took a hold of her birth certificate to show that Harris was born in Los Angeles and not Jamaica.
She would be the subject of a "deceptive advertising, billing and collections practice". The company sponsoring the Psychic Readers & Friends was indicted. Access Resource Services was fined $5 million in damages.
.
When the feds ended the Miss Cleo ads, Harris was struggling for a job. She wasn't being paid the millions of dollars the company intaked. She took a nosedive in her career.
The only thing besides playing Miss Cleo, Harris lent her voice to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. She played Auntie Poulet, a Haitian voodoo shaman and drug lord.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Miss Cleo (aka Youree Harris).
The Hive still buzzing about the ongoing feud between Future and Ciara. The pop singer claims that Future is plotting to murder her and her husband Russell Wilson.
Ciara Princess Wilson (formerly Harris) married her boyfriend NFL superstar Russell Wilson this month. I want to congratulate the two on a successful marriage.
Ciara gave Russell her goodies after their honeymoon and now she's feeling good about the relationship now that she's a married woman.
Anyway, the pop singer isn't letting off the ongoing feud with her former boyfriend and father of her son, rapper Future (Nayvadius Wilburn). She is telling the junk food media, that Future's success is ruining her.
She claims that the rapper subliminally threatened her and her husband on his DJ Esco assisted mixtape E.T..
Ciara is still hoping that slander lawsuit and child support order will "f**k up some commas"!
Future is well on his way to GOD status. He collaborated with DJ Khaled and Jay-Z for a mega hit.
Future is on tour with his rhyming buddies Drake and Gucci Mane. He's making another album slated for release in December. He's signed a mega deal with Apple Music and is a sought after rapper.
Also disclosure, Future has five children. One of the children comes from one of my closets cousins.
Future's feuding with no only Ciara, but "fake Future" Desiigner and former collaborator Rocko.
According to Future, Ciara is allowing his son Future, Jr. (Nayvadius) quality time with Russell and making their son call him "daddy!"
Here's the Ciara and Russell Wilson diss from Future.
Bernie Sanders urges support for former rival Hillary Clinton
Day one of the Democratic National Convention and much of the chaos exposed by the DNC chief has deflated some of the support from Hillary Clinton. She has to owe up to the skeptical progressives who felt that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) got shafted by her.
Bernie Sanders, Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker had an opportunity to give their support to Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine.
The standing ovation Bernie Sanders got shows that he's still a powerful force in the Democratic Party. He mentioned Clinton's name and it somewhat gets applause. He dumps on the media and the agitators hoping for a bloodbath in Philadelphia.
Still bitterness with the insurgent wing of the Democratic Party. Clinton and Kaine will have to find opportunity to make the case.
Bernie lays out the message. He warns Democrats (including Hillary Clinton and Pres. Barack Obama) to find their progressive roots or face a bitter defeat at the ballot box.
First Lady Michelle Obama won the night for the fact that she called for party unity and told a factual statement about the White House.
Conservatives seethe with rage over the true fact that the White House was built with slave blood.
Each of the speakers faced a set of boos from the Bernie Bros. The supporters of Sanders are frustrating but have a point. If the DNC chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz would have stayed neutral, you wouldn't see these concern trolls bemoaning the nomination of the first woman to ever clinch it.
Fort Myers club was the scene of a mass shooting. One month past the Orlando massacre.
What's trending on social media is the mass shooting in Fort Myers, Florida. The ClubBlu nightclub was the scene of a fatal shooting in which two people were killed and 17 others were injured.
This was allegedly a "teen night" at the club and the terrorist decided to get the burner after a dispute.
As expected, Governor Rick Scott and President Barack Obama were notified of this tragedy. They will express condolences and call for swift justice to those involved in this senseless act of violence.
The Congress will be too busy taking vacations or attending political conventions. They will ignore the gun violence issue. They don't see gun violence as the number one threat in the United States.
The junk food media says this incident wasn't terrorism.
Define terrorism!
I mean there's a man with a high powered firearm who decides to shoot many individuals without any care of their lives. A man who was motivated by some incident that could have been solved by leaving the venue or deescalating it by finding other outlets. That's a terrorist in my book.
Mass shootings aren't defined as terrorism. I say that's bullshit.
Bullshit for the fact that the Orlando, Florida shooting was labeled an act of terrorism. Why?
Cause the suspect is a Muslim.
What about the other mass shootings this year?
Find someone else to blame.
Obviously if the shooter is Black, he's a thug. If the shooter is Hispanic, he's an illegal. If the shooter is a Muslim, he's a terrorist. If the shooter is White, he's a liberal Democrat. All these shooters are Barack Obama's fault.
Assuming that the shooter could be Black, I expect the concern trolls to go through their usual word vomit about how #BlackLivesMatter is ignoring Black on whatever crime.
Assuming that the concern trolls will have their "I told you so" moment when it comes to some protesters complaining about police officers.
Some will use that silly narrative about the "good guy with a gun".
It was not immediately clear what triggered the violence, but Fort Myers police Capt. Jim Mulligan said the shooting was not an act of terrorism. Police detained three people and said the area around Club Blu had been deemed safe, Mulligan said.
The two teens killed were 14-year-old Sean Archilles and 18-year-old Ste'Fan Strawder, police said. Archilles lived about a mile from the nightclub, said his father, Jean Archilles. Archilles said his son loved to play football and basketball.
The Los Angeles Times report that the club is in a strip mall that includes a daycare center and is across the street from a large apartment complex. Officers had the area taped off as crime scene technicians scoured the strip mall parking lot for clues.
State records online show the alcohol license for Club Blu was revoked June 7. The records from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation say the license was revoked because of an incident that occurred a year ago, but there are no additional details available. The same records also show that a complaint was filed in 2014 for “criminal activity” and that the club was given an official notice.
The violence at Club Blu erupted about 12:30 a.m. Monday, Mulligan said. There were two active crime scenes, police said. Several hours later a street in the area remained closed as police investigated.
Why send my condolences to the victims?
No amount of prayers will bring the victims of gun violence back!
The suspects will be charged with capital murder. They are innocent until proven guilty.
Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputy made terroristic threats but managed to skirt with minor DUI and brandishing gun charge.
Santa Clara Sheriff's Department doing damage control after one of their deputies caused a terroristic threat at a local Jack in The Box restaurant.
A video posted online shows the deputy involved in a standoff with police after he decided to pull his piece on an employee working at the restaurant in the early morning.
Jack in the Box is open 24/7 365. There are usually club goers who decide to grab a bite between the hours of 2 am and 4am. Jack in the Box is there to serve the needs.
However, this terrorist (an off duty deputy) Benjamin Lee decided to get into a hissy fit about waiting on the food.
The worker and his crew immediately called 9-1-1 and stalled the terrorist. When the police arrived with AR15's drawn, the terrorist surrendered to police.
Lee was charged with DUI and brandishing a weapon. Of course, he's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He will have a disciplinary hearing.
Many in social media are calling the charges bullshit. He wasn't charged with aggravated assault or making terroristic threats with a deadly weapon.
The Free Thought Project brought attention to this incident. It hasn't even gotten mainstream attention.
Where's the outrage from concern trolls like "Lumpy" Softball Hannity, Sheriff David Clarke, and old fart Rush Limbaugh?
Where is Alex Jones, Colin Flaherty and the rest of the racial agitators with their guilt-by-clicks?
Are they trolling social media for affiliations to #BlackLivesMatter, President Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton or White extremists?
They're too busy worrying their asses off about that idiot lawmaker stepping down after she criticized another idiot lawmaker running for president. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) steps down as DNC chair after emails revealed that she criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his failed bid for president. The Sanders campaign claim the DNC was in the tank for Hillary Clinton.
You know police officers have pulled firearms on innocent people for no good reason. I mean they get away with this stuff. If this was a Black, Hispanic or practicing Muslim man doing this, expect the law to buck them on sight.
There is a need to address the abuse of power by those in law enforcement. Maybe this incident will kindly remind the #BlueLivesMatter movement that this isn't just one isolated incident.
