Beyonce managed to win the night at the MTV VMA's. Her performance was praised by the fans and the media critics.
She even brought the "Mothers of the Movement" to the VMAs.
Queen Bey walked the red carpet with several of the women featured in the "Lemonade" visual album -- mothers of gun violence victims among them. Midway through the show, Serena Williams introduced Beyoncé for an unexpected performance of several of her "Lemonade" hits. The album scored Beyoncé eight Moon Man trophies -- including Video of the Year for "Formation."
Of course her performance was criticized by that dirtbag Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani, a former New York City mayor and failed presidential candidate is a resident critic of Jay-Z, and Beyonce. He believes they're pandering anti-White and anti-cop rhetoric.
Giuliani is a former drag queen and three time divorced politico/pundit.
I assure you the talk about Bill Clinton's alleged affairs will be brought up again.
The three time divorced Donald Trump will exploit this. I assure you that alleged domestic abuser Steven Bannon and alleged sexual harasser Roger Ailes will not be mentioned by alleged the sexual harassers on Fox News.
Internet creeper Matt Drudge, three timed divorced sexist old fart Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity already plan on exploiting it. They will use this a way to tarnish Hillary Clinton.
Clinton campaign aide Huma Abedin is leaving her husband Anthony Weiner, the disgraced Democratic congressman and mayoral candidate.
This comes after allegations of Weiner continuing sexting women online.
“After long painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband,” Huma Abedin said in statement.
“Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what’s best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy.”
This scandal will become fodder for the right.
When Andrew Breitbart broke the news of Weiner posting his manhood online, the junk food media dismissed it as tabloid gossip. It became public when one of the women who received the pictures had her told the junk food media her encounter with Weiner who went by the name Carlos Danger.
Weiner resigned in a tearful apology to his supporters. It legitimized Breitbart News and gave it a voice in the junk food media.
Weiner would marry Huma Abedin and have a child.
Weiner was trying to regain glory by running for mayor of New York City. He was a strong contender at the time. It nosedived after it was revealed he was still sexting women and having alleged affairs. He was defeated in the Democratic primary by Bill de Blasio.
He would fade out of the political spotlight.
Of course, Weiner became a blogger and pundit and supporter of his wife while she was working for Clinton at the State Department.
Abedin became a target of conservative ire. Her name is mentioned in the email scandal. The never ending email scandal has put Clinton on the defense. It all has ties to the Republican obsession with the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack.
Clinton was not indicted by the feds in wrongdoing. Republicans are stilling trying to charge her with perjury.
Republicans are trying to find ways to defeat Clinton. This distraction will not hurt her, but it will keep conservatives bitching about the Clintons having no family values.
Again what people do in their homes is no one's business. But since we live in this culture of gotcha moments, expect this to be a theme of click bait.
Maine governor hides his bigotry around his Black adopted son.
Paul LePage is a crooked son of a...well you know!
The Maine governor has been in the spotlight for sometime. The Republican is complaining about the lack of federal government funding into curbing the heroin crisis. He decides to single out people of color as the reasons to why the boy is being trafficked into the mostly White state of Maine.
LePage said that "the enemy right now... are people of colour or people of Hispanic origin".
"When you go to war... and the enemy dresses in red and you dress in blue, then you shoot at red," he said.
When a Democratic state lawmaker called him out on his bullshit, LePage called him a cocksucker and challenged him to a duel.
LePage sent the message Thursday morning after a television reporter appeared to suggest that Democratic Rep. Drew Gattine was among several people who had called the governor a racist, which Gattine later denied. The exchange followed remarks the governor made in North Berwick on Wednesday night about the racial makeup of suspects arrested on drug trafficking charges in Maine.
“Mr. Gattine, this is Gov. Paul Richard LePage,” a recording of the governor’s phone message says. “I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist, you cocksucker. I want to talk to you. I want you to prove that I’m a racist. I’ve spent my life helping black people and you little son-of-a-bitch, socialist cocksucker. You … I need you to, just friggin. I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”
After the voice mail was leaked to the junk food media, LePage shrugged it off and said, I don't give a fuck about what he said.
“When a snot-nosed little guy from Westbrook calls me a racist, now I’d like him to come up here because, tell you right now, I wish it were 1825,” LePage said. “And we would have a duel, that’s how angry I am, and I would not put my gun in the air, I guarantee you, I would not be (Alexander) Hamilton. I would point it right between his eyes, because he is a snot-nosed little runt and he has not done a damn thing since he’s been in this Legislature to help move the state forward.”
LePage is total asshole. He should be called out for his bullshit.
NBA's Dwyane Wade got thrusted into the political campaign. His cousin was murdered and Donald Trump tweets an offensive response to it.
Donald Trump had to walk back a social media posting that came off as condescending and heartless.
His pathetic attempt at courting the Black vote fell at the feet of Chicago Bulls forward Dwyane Wade.
The basketball star's cousin was a victim of senseless violence. Nykea Aldridge, a mother of four was killed when a gunman fired at everyone including his intended target. She was walking with her child in a stroller when the incident occurred.
Trump used social media to pat himself on the back. His tweet which was captured by social media shows the Republican nominee say that he believes Blacks will support him in huge numbers.
Dwyane Wade had criticized the law for being inept. Many in the Chicago P.D. have this angst against the mayor Rahm Emanuel and his new police commissioner Eddie Johnson. Somehow they're doing a "slow down" of services.
Trump tweets condescending message about NBA player's family member being killed.
Since the Laquan McDonald shooting, the Chicago P.D. is under federal watch. The recent shooting of an alleged car thief. The death of Paul O'Neal came into the spotlight. Even with Chicago officers wearing body cameras, it didn't show the moment when they used deadly force against O'Neal.
The rap community isn't spared from the violence. Rhymefest was mugged by a gunman and he tells the junk food media that the Chicago Police aren't willing to do their jobs. They disrespected him.
King Yella was lucky. He was doing a protest video about violence in Chicago. He was shot while filming a music video. Yella was lucky. He said that this nonsense gotta stop.
As Chicago is well on its way to surpass over 500 homicides by gun violence, the Trump campaign will not support gun control. Trump and many concern trolls believe that gun control measures will not solve the problem of gun violence. They seriously believe that the Black community isn't concern about Black on whatever violence.
Victim of an unfortunate death.
Now they've taking up this narrative that violence in the Black community is the fault of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. After all, many urban centers are ran by Democrats and the feet of terrorism (international or domestic) falls on the feet of the party.
Nearly 3,000 people were shot by firearms in the city of Chicago. The third largest city in the United States has domestic terrorism. Gang violence is equivalent to terrorism.
Colin Kaepernick faces backlash for refusal to stand for national anthem. He says that our country allows law enforcement to legally murder unarmed citizens.
Crank up the conservative outrage meter. We have a professional athlete of color not supporting our country. The junk food media is covering the refusal to stand for the national anthem by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Colin who is passionate about Black Lives Matters said to the junk food media that he's not going to respect a country that continues to disrespect people of color.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color. To me, this bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. THere are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.
The 49ers said that while they take pride in the national anthem, they respect Colin's right to dissent.
"The National Anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony. It is an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great liberties we are afforded as its citizens. In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose and participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem."
The NFL issued a statement.
"Players are encouraged but not required to stand during the playing of the National Anthem."
The backlash is going to be expected. Of course, social media lit into him. They were saying some of the most trivial things. Telling Colin, to "go back to Africa". Saying he should quit the NFL or donate his earnings to black oppressed youth. Saying he's a "racist because he blames White people for his own faults".
And of course, they blame President Barack Obama for this.
White conservatives are often downplaying and denouncing the right to dissent.
They rather see Black athletes shut up and play the games. They are supposed to be brainless jocks.
During the Summer Olympics, they were going after Gabby Douglas for not placing her hand over heart for the national anthem. They were calling her a monkey and saying that she should be grateful for winning the Gold medal.
With all this talk about Hillary Clinton's health, one would have you believe that Donald Trump is in perfect health. It turns out that he's got a problem.
The doctor who wrote Trump's bill of clean health wrote the note in less than five minutes.
Addicting Info wrote that Dr. Harold Bornstein, Trump’s physician for 35 years, confessed that he took only five minutes to write up the assessment of Trump, who he described in the letter as in “excellent” health.
The four-paragraph letter — the only medical information released by Trump — was written and released in December but has drawn fresh scrutiny in recent days as Trump’s allies have questioned Hillary Clinton’s health, despite a more detailed two-page letter from her doctor that said she has no serious issues.
A quack and a doctor.
This nonsense about Clinton's declining health has been a recurring theme on The Drudge Report, Breitbart, InfoWars and Sean "Softball" Hannity's show. They demand the health records of Clinton.
Clinton spoke in Reno slamming Trump on his pandering to the alt right.
It's a repetitive theme of the kookspiracy. They have been on this birth certificate nonsense as well.
Remember Donald Trump has spent a portion of his time demanding President Barack Obama showing his birth certificate.
Two Mississippi Nuns were murdered in cold blood. The suspect was caught.
The nation is wondering why a cold hearted man would kill two innocent women who made it their mission to serve the people in need. The deaths of Paula Merrill and Margaret Held will certainly rile up the alt right. After all Alex Jones, Colin Flaherty, Matt Drudge and many others seethe in the cesspool of racial agitation.
The suspect is a Black man and the victims were White women.
Two Mississippi nuns were murdered in cold blood and the community is mourning their deaths. Of course they quickly arrested the suspect.
Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesman Warren Strain said in a statement Friday night that Rodney Earl Sanders of Kosciusko has been charged with two counts of capital murder in the deaths of Sister Margaret Held and Sister Paula Merrill, both 68, the AP reports. Their bodies were discovered Thursday after they failed to show up for work at a clinic in Lexington, about 10 miles from where they lived. "Sanders was developed as a person of interest early on in the investigation," Lt. Colonel Jimmy Jordan said in the statement.
Suspect was detained.
Sanders is being held in an undisclosed detention center awaiting his initial court appearance. In the Mississippi county where the two nuns were slain, forgiveness for their killer is hard to find, even if forgiveness is what the victims would have wanted. The nuns were nurse practitioners who dedicated their lives to providing health care to people in the poorest county in the state. "Right now, I don't see no forgiveness on my heart," says Joe Morgan Jr., a 58-year-old former factory worker who has diabetes and was a patient of Merrill's at the clinic where the two nuns worked .He says he hopes the perpetrator is convicted and executed. "She doesn't deserve to die like this, doing God's work," he says. "There's something wrong with the world."
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He will face the death penalty if convicted.
More divisive rhetoric from Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke.
Police Benevolent Union of New York decided to honor the most divisive figure in the junk food media. Patrick Lynch honored Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke for his outstanding benefits to those who wear the badge.
A politically divisive figure who called Black Lives Matter activists a bunch of slime. A politically divisive figure who called then Attorney General Eric Holder an "asshole". A politically divisive figure who said that President Barack Obama hates cops and relishes in the murder of Whites.
A politically divisive figure who is a Black lawman who was elected as a Democrat. A politically divisive figure who resides over a country that is ranked one of the worst places for Black people to live.
A city with a population of 648,000 residents. A city that is divided by a viaduct that literally divides the city's Black and White population. The well off live south of the city. The poor live in the north.
An area where residents claim that the political divisive rhetoric from this figure created the distrust.
A politically divisive figure who appears on Fox News and especially Sean "Softball" Hannity's program more than a handful of times to bash Black leaders who call for accountability.
Rubbing salt in the wound, NYPD police union boss Patrick Lynch honors David Clarke, a Black conservative sheriff from Wisconsin.
This is who they honor for their Patrolman of the Year.
“I think of Mr. Clarke the same way I regard Bull Connor, the same kind of law enforcement officer who would sick fire hoses and dogs on elderly women,” said Kirsten John Foy, northeast regional director for the National Action Network.
“I think he has a disregard for people of color. He has allowed the power that comes with the badge or the gun to cloud his true mission or perspective. “
Marquez Claxton, a retired NYPD detective and former member of the 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement group, called the PBA’s decision to honor Clarke “surprising and disturbing.”
“This is a guy who is beyond polarizing, who has zero empathy at even understanding about police community relations, who has even less respect for communities of color,” Claxton said.
“He really is often times nothing less than a hate-monger.”
Two figures that dismiss BlackLivesMatter and President Barack Obama.
PBA President Pat Lynch offered a vastly different take on Clarke, an unabashed Donald Trump supporter who has become a hero to the right for taking on black activists.
“During this challenging and dangerous period for police officers across the country, Sheriff Clarke has stepped into the national spotlight as a passionate defender of our profession, appearing frequently on TV programs and at high-profile events such as the Republican National Convention to push back against the rising tide of anti-police sentiment,” Lynch wrote in a letter to his members.
Lynch and Clarke are politically divisive figures. The trust between Blacks and law enforcement is at an all time low. We can credit them for agitating the notion that cops can't do wrong and it's the fault of Blacks.
According to Lynch and Clarke, any criminal act by a Black suspect is punishable for death.

Today would mark the 15 years since the world lost a R&B singer Aaliyah.
On August 25, 2001, the hip-hop community lost an iconic R&B singer. Aaliyah Dana Haughton was killed in a fatal plane crash. After finishing a music video shoot her single "Rock The Boat", the singer, her publicist, two members of Blackground Records, and her body man passed away in a ill-fated flight leaving the Bahamas.
Aaliyah's death came unexpected. She released her self-titled album that year and was promoting her movie Romeo Must Die. She was heading back to Los Angeles for a role for the horror Queen of the Damned.
Aaliyah released her first album at the age of 16. Age Ain't Nothing But A Number was produced by R. Kelly, the controversial R&B singer who had an alleged relationship with her at the age of 15.
R. Kelly produced her album and helped her gain mainstream success. R. Kelly had married Aaliyah for a brief moment but it was annulled after allegations of the singer's history.
Aaliyah teamed up with Virginia producer Timbaland and began a great working relationship.
One in a Million became a classic. With Timbaland and Missy Elliott on the album, they produced six singles and gave Aaliyah a four quadruple platinum album.
It also helped her gain success a model, actress and cultural icon.
Her death came unexpected. I mean a few weeks later we would have the worst tragedy to ever happen in our country.
