A&F Not Trendy!

Teen apparel store Abercrombie & Fitch will close 60 shops.

Abercrombie & Fitch is hanging by a thread. Ever since the Supreme Court laid the hammer on the company it's nosediving fast. The company lost a federal lawsuit issued by a woman who was fired out the cannon for wearing a hijab.

The decision now puts all retailers on notice about discriminating workers and potential hirers.

The teen themed retailer also tried to rebrand its image by rolling out its fall catalogue and trying make trendy discounts for the school year.

The company based out of New Albany, Ohio outside of Columbus has seen changes in the past three years. One being it's controversial CEO being fired out the cannon.

The former CEO Mike Jeffries and his boyfriend ruined the company. They instigated this policy where employees had to "look a certain way" in order to get a job at their stores. Often many people of color were rejected from the job because they didn't look the part. They would spend the company earning on lavish planes and boats. They would have the private plane and home decorated with hunky men wearing A&F clothes and cologne.

The company decided to close 60 stores across the U.S. and Canada. We don't know which ones would be affected

There's biggest obstacle is getting a former Sears Holding Group CEO to turn this company around.

Arthur Martinez, left Sears/Kmart after troubling years there. Now he's on board another sinking ship.

He's got two years to do something or he'll finding the cannon is ready to load him out too.

Sears has at leas than two years to turn around or face extinction. The company has struggled since the merger with Kmart. Now Kmart is on the verge of closing all their stores. Sears may soon follow.

A&F is still around but I'll give it at least five years before a new fad comes along and wipes this fad into the thrift stores.

Brock Turner Enrolled In Offender U!

Convicted rapist isn't truly free. He will have to register in Offender U for the rest of his life.

Brock Turner, the former Stanford University swimmer is out of the California lockup where he was spending three month bid in. He's heading back to Ohio to spend the rest of his life in hiding. He will now have to register in Offender U for the rest of his life.

Turner out on bail dodged the cameras and got into his attorney's vehicle. One of America's most hated men is now free to live his life. He will live his life under a watchful eye though.

Most Americans believed his privileged life got him off easy. If he was a person of color, they would lock the individuals up for the rest of their lives.

His sentence was criticized by the junk food media for being too damn light. The judge who handed Turner his fate faced harsh criticism. This became a national outcry over how the justice system treats sexual assault.

Turner who is 21 years old heads to his folks home in Dayton, Ohio. He will be heading to the local probation office to register his life to the state. Wherever he goes, that label will follow him.

State judge Aaron Persky faces the ire of voters. They want his ass gone. He fired himself out the cannon recently. Persky will not do criminal trials anymore. He will deal with traffic violations for the time being.

The judge said that Turner's actions left a "severe impact" on a promising future. That outraged the victim. Sexual assault victims often are shamed for the way they dress, the way they act around people and the actions they do while under the influence of alcohol.

Most rape victims never report to the law out of fear.

Reminder: The junk food media loves "hot teacher" stories. Some educators are sexually assaulting their students. Some of these educators are hot attractive white women. I have yet to see a "hot teacher" get a lengthy sentence for having a sexual encounter with a twelve year old child.

This needs to change.

Anyone accused of having rape a person should be charged with a crime. They should be convicted in a court of law. They are innocent until proven guilty of course. The court of public opinion shouldn't matter. The judge, prosecutor and jury are the things that matter.

RAPE IS RAPE.

CONSENT DOESN'T MEAN HAVE YOUR WAY WITH THE VICTIM.

Trump Played His Race Card!

When Colin Kaepernick sat in protest of the national anthem, he was ridiculed by the junk food media. Conservatives were calling him a NIGGER and telling him to go back to Africa. They wanted him to lose his football contract because he refused to stand for a song. He has a right to not stand for the national anthem and it's starting to become a movement.

When Donald Trump says he believe America's going to hell, he's winning praise from his supporters and those in the junk food media. These are very same ones who attacked Kaepernick for his stance.

Well this week Trump have went to Mexico to have a presser with the president Enrique Pena Nieto.

The Republican nominee had an opportunity to ease tensions with Mexico. It turns out he didn't. He is still determined to build the border wall and have Mexico pay for it.

Pena Nieto got a lot of blowback from this. He said to Trump directly that Mexico will not advocate property or costs for a border wall. Trump would have property destroyed in both countries to built this wall. Some parts of a Mexican highway goes into the United States. Tijuana which is at the south of San Diego has portions of road entering the United States.

International Parkway (Tijuana Ensenada Road) in Tijuana briefly goes through the U.S. for at least 1/2 mile.

Do you want Mexico to destroy the road, tear down businesses and homes to built a wall?

The international boundary between the U.S., Mexico and Canada pass through homes and businesses.

I doubt that.

His speech in Arizona also covered this week. He brought the mothers of victims murdered by immigrants out to express their support for Trump.

He took the hardline stance once again on handling immigration.

Being a dick.

White extremists praised the speech. Some of Donald Trump's Latino supporters are dropping their endorsement of him.

Sean "Softball" Hannity and Laura Ingraham praised the speech because he stuck to the message and used a teleprompter. Hannity was notoriously mocking President Barack Obama for using them.

Donald Trump has often criticized using them. This new team of Kellyanne Conway and Stephen Bannon has gotten Trump back on the track.

The Trump people are trying to catch up from a horrible month of misfortunate. His chances has increased slightly. Trump has a 35% chance at winning the presidency.

Trump so far has 206 electoral votes. He has to win swing states like Florida, Colorado, Ohio and Nevada to become the President of the United States.

Fall Semester!

15 million jobs created so far under the nearly 8 years of Barack Obama's presidency.

So the jobs report is out for the month. For the month of August the jobs that were netted were 151,000. It gave the country over 1 million jobs so far.

The unemployment rate will stay at 4.9%. It fell below 5% earlier this year for the first time since 2008.

Wage growth slowed a bit after showing signs of momentum in previous months. Wages continue to stall and this is the reasons to why the U.S. economy recovery has not been felt by vast pockets of the population.

America's economic growth has averaged about 1% in the first half of this year. However, experts are hoping that growth will pick up in the second half.

The August job numbers are critical for the Federal Reserve, whose leaders hinted that they could use it as a guide in potentially raising the key interest rate.

When the conservative agitators say that 95 million Americans aren't working, I think about the actual reasons to why people aren't working.

For one thing, if you're not looking at the news lately, you're not noticing the wildfires, hurricane, floods, and tornadoes. You hear about the countless victims of gun violence. You hear about companies cutting

I think about the wildfires in Oregon, California, Wyoming, and Texas. I think about the floods in Louisiana. I think about the hurricanes hitting Florida and Hawaii. I think about the countless lives lost to gun violence in the United States. I think about the disastrous tornadoes tearing up the Midwest. I think about the lack of funding for roads and bridges.

The reasons to why conservatives ignore the real reasons for 95 million people not working.

1. BIRTH

2. DEATH

3. RETIREMENT

4. FIRED OUT THE CANNON (LAID OFF/FIRED FROM JOB)

5. QUITTING A JOB FOR A NEW JOB

6. UNDER 16 (NOT OF WORKING AGE)

7. STAY AT HOME PARENT

8. DISABLED

9. COLLEGE STUDENT STUDYING 

10. IN THE IRON COLLEGE (PRISON)

Okay, if you're seriously believing that 95 million people aren't working (just because), then you're a Donald Trump and Mike Pence supporter. If you choose to not factor the obvious reasons as mentioned above, you're obviously a listener of agitators like that old fart Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity and readers of internet creeper Matt Drudge.

Zendaya: Being Mary Jane!

Zendaya will play Mary Jane Watson in the Sony movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Actress and singer Zendaya is best known for playing the Disney's sitcoms Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover. She is a slated to play Mary Jane Watson, in the upcoming movie Spider-Man: Homecoming. 

Marvel Entertainment and Sony Pictures will reboot the Spider-Man franchise with a movie slated for release in 2017 with British actor Tom Holland playing the role of the Spider-Man.

Also in the movie Robert Downey, Jr., who will reprise his role as Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) and Marisa Tomei who will play May Parker. Tyne Daly of Cagney and Lacey fame will have a role in the movie as well.

The actress confirms that she will be one of the love interest of Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man). At least one draft has clues that Zendaya playing the role of Mary Jane Watson. 

In the beginning, she was supposed to play Michelle, a classmate of Peter's. They changed that role and promoted Zendaya to play Mary Jane. 

Stan Lee, the legendary creator of Spider-Man and co-founder of Marvel Comics said Zendaya will do "great" in the role. 

"Homecoming" tells the story of Peter Parker as he deals with life as a crime-fighter and an ordinary high school student in Queens. 

Sony once again taking a gamble. The Interview and Ghostbusters were controversial movies were epic disasters at the box office.

The Interview was a controversial movie from Seth Rogen,James Franco and Randall Park. The country of North Korea hacked into the Sony accounts and shamed the executives. The CEO of Sony America was forced to apologize to President Barack Obama after it was revealed that she had said some racially offensive comments about him. The North Korean government warned the actors to never show their faces in the country. 

The Ghostbusters remake was released this year. The movie was sponsored by Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. The movie reboot had females leading the role. It flopped at the box office. Hackers got into co-star Leslie Jones. It led to the actress being hit with racial attacks and nude pictures being leaked.

Zendaya is coping with her parents divorcing. Her mom Claire Stoermer and father Kazembe Coleman have filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. 

She took to social media to confirm the news. "My parents ain't been together for a long time, y'all didn't know cause we private+still homies. #lateassnews". 

Any thoughts on Spider-Man: Homecoming having a Black "Mary Jane Watson"?

White Woman Nearly Runs Cop Over!

Jessica Fox, a suburban White woman from Atlanta is one lucky person. If she was a few shades darker, I would bet you money, she would taste the lead of a cop's service weapon.

A routine pullover in Georgia has an officer in the hospital and the suspect in county lockup facing aggravated assault with criminal intent. Marc Lofton, an officer for the Statham Police suffered minor injuries.

She was wanted on driving without a license. She would get into a verbal altercation with the officer before he would try to drag her out the car.

She screams and puts the vehicle in gear and drive off with his hand in the vehicle. As she shook him off, he fell and gashed his head and leg.

He quickly got up and radioed for help.

After brief chase, the suspect was caught. Now she will face a judge and it could put her in the iron college for 10 years. She is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Recent booking photo of White criminal.

Given the danger the officer was facing, he could have used deadly force. Would her name would have been trending on social media?

Would the conservatives label this woman a thug. Would a conservative concern troll look into her social media page to justify a police shooting?

I assured you that the whole ordeal would have been different if the suspect was a Black male or female.

In the case of many fatal police encounters, usually a White officer is quick to shoot on a Black motorist. We're one year into the shootings of Walter Scott and Sam Dubose.

#VeteransForKaepernick - They Got Your Back!

We got his back!

This week everyone in the junk food media was slamming San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for refusing to stand for the national anthem. The criticism is fierce and it was furious.

Even Sean "Softball" Hannity was running his mouth about this. He claimed Kaepernick was a Muslim who had ties to "radical Islam".

Kaepernick was getting death threats, the NFL has threatened to cut him from the team, and people were burning his jersey.

The one thing that came to mind, how were our brave men and women of the U.S. military reacting to this controversy?

Well it was mixed. But as of today, the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick was trending on social media.

Some of the men and women of color who served said that they're proud of Kaepernick for taking such as stance. They said that they're fighting for the freedom of everyone, including those who criticize our country's brutal treatment of people of color.

Here's a few interesting posts from supporters of Kaepernick.

It seems like Colin Kaepernick sparked a movement and not a moment. There will be more, rest assured. Until Congress pass police reform, gun control and acknowledge racism exist, you're going to see more of this.

Respect Your Elders!

Flip-Flop: John McCain and Marco Rubio won their Republican primaries.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) survived an insurgency attack. The two failed presidential candidates of 2008 and 2016, respectively have beaten their Republican primary challenger.

Conservatives were mounting a challenge against them.

The most notable is Kelli Ward. The insurgent was getting backing from major conservative groups. It wasn't enough. Donald Trump's last minute endorsement of McCain kind of killed the chances of Ward knocking him out.

In the beginning, Trump said that he loves the veterans, not the ones who were caught. The comment was aimed at McCain. McCain called Trump's supporters a bunch of lunatics. He said failed presidential candidates Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) were wacko birds.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. Defeated by Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) in Democratic primary.

McCain who is dubbed himself as a "maverick" even said that Ward was more of a challenge than J.D. Hayworth, a former lawmaker turned conservative agitator.

Ward slipped by calling McCain old. You know Republicans are old, White and out of touch. A whipper snapper like Ward should have been more careful with attacking an elderly man.

McCain is a Vietnam veteran.

Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) was going to run for the seat but dropped out at the last minute given that Rubio was being coached into running against one of the two ethically challenged Democrats.

Rubio, the least productive lawmaker in the Senate claimed that his consideration into the race was motivated by the Orlando massacre. But actually it's the political expediency of his fellow Republicans leaders that drove him back into the race.

Mind you that Little Marco said he would retire from the senate if he failed to win the presidency. He changed his mind when Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) saw Florida being the firewall between a possible Clinton administration.

Former Democratic chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is forgiven by the voters. She beats Tim Conva, a law professor who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the failed Democratic presidential candidate.

Trump's support for Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) came just in time. The House Speaker handily beats his rival in a landslide.

Also the Democrats in Florida seem to like the former DNC chairwoman. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) survived an insurgent attack from the progressive Tim Conva.

Conva who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was hoping to upset an embattled Wasserman Schultz. She was facing harsh criticism over the handling of the DNC's debate schedule and perceived favoritism towards Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Wasserman Schultz resigned from the DNC after Wikileaks illegally obtained the emails of members.

Some of the emails were criticizing Sanders and his supporters for being sore losers and nuisances.

Rubio's challenger will be Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL). Murphy defeated scandal plagued Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL). Grayson and his own wife were defeated in the Democratic primary. Dena Grayson, a medical doctor and activist was defeated in the seat Alan Grayson gave up to run for the senate.

Grayson once again heads back to Florida a defeated man. Now he will be labeled perennial.

By the way, former Texas governor and perennial loser Rick Perry will be on Dancing With The Stars along with disgraced Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte.

Chris Brown Saw 16 Bars Again!

Another day in court for troubled pop singer Chris Brown.

Chris Brown is a troubled pop singer. He once again is seeing bars in his future. The LAPD paid him a visit after a woman reported him acting a fool at his home. He grabbed his side piece and pointed it at her head.

He will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. This charge could land him in the iron college for up to 25 years in the state of California. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The call came in at 3am and it had a woman screaming for the law to come to the pop singer's residence. The allegations of the woman is that she saw something shiny and it was dedicate to Brown.

Brown, a notorious hot head got to threatening her and grabbed his glock and shoved it into her breast and head. 

The law arrived at the residence. Brown decided to shut the lights off and head to bed. Of course, the law warned him that he better surrender or get dragged out by force.

Brown has been a lighting rod for trouble. His most notable arrest took place in 2009 for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna following a pre-Grammy party.

He pleaded guilty to felony assault and was sentenced that year to five years' in-house, a year-long domestic violence class and six months of community labor. He had issues complying with the terms of probation in that case, but completed that probation in Los Angeles County early last year.

Since then, he has also dealt with a fraud complaint against him in the Philippines last summer for allegedly canceling a New Year's Eve concert and was the subject of a potential battery investigation against a model in Las Vegas in January. She claimed that he hit her and took her cellphone, but police never pursued charges.

Me thinks the victim could be Karrueche Tan, Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend and mother of his daughter Royalty.

Colin Kaepernick: So!

Colin Kaepernick's choice to not be politically correct got conservatives outraged.

Conservatives used to get riled up when political correctness was running amuck. They want to be free to call the first Black president a NIGGER. They want to "Make America Great Again". They want to "take their country back".

Hell conservatives don't believe the narratives of "Hands Up Don't Shoot" or "I Can't Breathe".

Now they're outraged when a person of color refuses to use political correctness when it comes to pledging allegiance to his country.

Now they're screaming for him to lose his NFL deal. A freedom of protest and freedom of speech issue runs into the forefront of this ugly campaign between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

The calls for him to be fired out the cannon are becoming today's fodder. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick lit a shit storm by refusing to stand for the national anthem. He said that he can't support a flag that continues to oppress Blacks and 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 is 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."

He is upset over the recent police shootings of unarmed Black people.

Man burns Kaepernick's jersey for click bait.

Colin became the most vocal voice in the NFL to support Black Lives Matter, an activist group that calls for police reform in the Black community.

The group is controversial. Many conservatives dismiss this group as anti-White and anti-cop. The alt-right (white extremists, conservative agitators and Republicans) have tried to brandish this a "hate group". They even tried to infiltrate local BLM groups to instigate violence for click bait.

Former San Francisco 49er Jerry Rice blasted him for his stance. He posted on social media saying that "All lives matter. SO much going on in this world today. Can we all just get along. Colin, I respect your stance but don't disrespect the Flag."

People blasted Rice for bringing up "can we all get along". It was the message of Rodney King, the late civil rights activist who was beaten nearly dead by the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department.

The officers getting off the attempted murder charges sparked the LA Riots.

Even the Republican nominee Donald Trump said that Kaepernick should go to a country that works better for him.

Obviously, he meant continent because Africa is has 54 countries and the ignorant believe Africa is a country.

Trump's Black Friend Ran Blackface On Social Media!

It's unfortunate that Republicans struggle to win Black voters. Instead of addressing the Black community in a thoughtful and yes rational way, they reignite the very condescending things that make it harder for them to win a crucial voting block.

The Democratic Party has pretty much won the Black vote. The country elected Barack Obama, the first Black president. The Democratic Party nominated twice and the American people elected twice the first African American to ever this title. 

Republicans continue to elect old White and extremely conservative candidates for president. They continue this tradition by picking a White old, ignorant, self-serving, narcissistic, billionaire as their nominee. 

A nominee who would retweet White extremists postings. A nominee who would pay for a man's court cost after he sucker punched a Black Lives Matter protester. A nominee who would talk about Black plight from the privileged White suburbs. A nominee who support the Second Amendment only when it comes to Whites protecting their homes, property and lives from Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and liberal activists. A nominee who would pander for votes after making gesturing remark about a NBA player's family member being gunned down by the very Second Amendment rights he is willing to support.

Mark Burns, one of Trump's black supporters.

Yet, the Black support for this nominee is at a measly 4% nationally.

Maybe it's because of the circus of Black Republican performers that clown around.

Diamond and Silk, Jesse Lee Petersom, Katrina Pierson and Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke, Jr., are notable performers in the circus of Black Republican performers. Now a Black preacher will be added to the list of performers.

Donald Trump's Black advisor had to back pedal after he went to social media to post an offensive comic about Hillary Clinton.

Pastor Mark Burns, a Donald Trump supporter quickly deleted this offensive picture from his social media. He got this nonsense from some White extremist named Tony Branco (known as A.F.).

Burns quickly apologized to the people for spreading this image. 

Unfortunately, Branco stands by this shit. His website is ripe with offensive caricatures of Clinton, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. 

"Political cartoons are supposed to rile people up, get people talking, have a discussion about issues," said Branco. "It's supposed to focus people's attention on the issue, and that's what the cartoon did. And I'm pretty proud that it did that".

Thank god the president and Clinton have thick skin. They don't really care what people say about them. Donald Trump does. He's so temperamental and an embarrassment to the nation.

The alt-right (the coined term for White extremists) panders in this nonsense.

You must be a supporter of Donald Trump and Mike Pence is you like this cartoonist. You must support them if you think these offensive themes about the first Black president aren't racist. You must support them if deny the reasons to Republicans fail at winning the Black vote.

Gene was a talented actor, writer, painter and community activist.

He will be missed.
