Kid Rock: F**k That Bitch Ass Kaepernick!

Asshole rocker goes after Colin Kaepernick and his supporters.


Looks like Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers isn't alone in his protest. Many others soon followed and its getting major attention from the junk food media. Some of the conservative agitators are not pleased with Kaepernick and want him to be punished.

It's riled up Kid Rock, the former rapper turned rebel rock star. He's performing in a concert and had called out Kaepernick in three words.

"FUCK COLIN KAEPERNICK!" It was said at the Fenway Park in Boston.

Expect more of this nonsense from the guy who flies the flag of the losing side. A guy who was born Detroit back pretends to be Alabama. Kid Rock, an entertainer who supports Donald Trump and the ignorance that follows.

He was performing his song "Born Free" when he broke out of song to go after the NFL star.

While many came out in support of Kaepernick, many others were trashing on him and those who support him.

Fashion model Kate Upton slammed the NFL for allowing this to happen.
He's not stopping and it's sparked a movement.
"Sitting or kneeling down during the national anthem is a disgrace to those people who have served and currently serve our country", said Upton on social media. "Sitting down during the national anthem on September 11th is even more horrific."

Kaepernick dismisses the criticism and vows more to come.

"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."

I support Colin Kaepernick and many others in refusing to stand for the national anthem.

Just yesterday, I was pulled over by the Dayton Police. They pulled me over for no reason. They claimed that I was going back and forth observing them doing their jobs. I took a couple of pictures of the police around a damaged vehicle. The officers claimed that their supervisor told them to pull me over. So I asked for his supervisor. He refused. The officers made some bullshit excuse to why I fit the description. They believed that I had something to do with someone who stole a vehicle and I could be the pickup. Again, I said that photography is not a crime and I have a right to film police officers doing their jobs. I am not a criminal and I refuse to give my information to any officer if you have no justifiable reason for the pull over. I've stop talking to them.

They threatened to arrest me for refusing to give my information to them for a pullover that wasn't a traffic violation.

Of course, after ten minutes of me and the officers escalating words, I asked if I was free to go! They didn't want to let me go, so I asked that "am I being detained!"

After another round of verbal escalating, I decided to clam up and not say another word. About that time, one of the officers ran my plates and flashed his light on me. I asked the other officer once again, am I free to go, and he said yes, and I decide to move on.

All the while another person was filming the encounter. I said, thanks for filming. Post that on social media.

SO I WILL NO LONGER STAND THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, EITHER! UNTIL CONGRESS PASS POLICE REFORM AND HOLD OFFICERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, I WILL NOT ENDORSE THE FLAG OF A COUNTRY THAT OPPRESS PEOPLE OF COLOR!

Ohio University Cures Its Ailes!

Ohio University ends its ties to Roger Ailes.

The folks of Athens, Ohio once thanked now disgraced Fox News CEO Roger Ailes for his huge contributions to Ohio University. It's revealed that Ailes was accused of sexually harassing female employees. Former anchors Gretchen Carlson and Andrea Tantaros filed a federal lawsuit against Ailes.

Ailes on his part denies any involvement in any wrongdoing. But the fallout is big especially at his alma mater. His old school decided to end its relationship with him.

Ohio University has now decided that Ailes isn't the perfect role model for its students. They have formally returned the $500,000 donation and removed his name from the newsroom he put millions of dollars in.

OU President Roderick McDavis announced the action Monday during a Faculty Senate meeting, the student newspaper The Post reported. The letters of Ailes' name were taken down before the meeting ended, and a wooden board was placed over the space soon after, the newspaper reported.

"The distraction from the teaching of the Scripps College of Communication has weighed heavily on my mind as I deliberated over the sustained effect on our university community should we continue to have our newsroom named for Mr. Ailes," McDavis said, according to the report. "Given the allegations against Mr. Ailes, the circumstances surrounding his departure from Fox News, I've decided to return his gift and remove his name."

"Ohio University ignited my interest in broadcasting, which became my lifetime career," Ailes said in 2007.

Tom Hodson, the director and general manager of WOUB, said in an email to The Post that WOUB is "pleased" with McDavis' decision.

Robert Stewart, director of E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, said in an email to The Post he was "glad (the journalism school) can finally move on."

"I applaud President McDavis' decision," Stewart said in an email. "The controversy has helped shine a spotlight on the ongoing problem of sexual harassment in the workplace, but it's a relief to have the name and plaque removed."

21st Century Fox and News Corp paid out Gretchen nearly $20 million in damages.

Greta Van Susteren abruptly was fired out the cannon after spending over 15 years with the network.

Ailes is now putting a bug in Donald Trump's ear.



Tupac Shakur: Picture Him Rollin!

Twenty years ago, Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas. His death remains a mystery. The rapper left a legacy.

Today marks 20 years since the fatal shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur. On September 7, 1996, Shakur and Marion "Big Suge" Knight were ambushed by an unknown gunman after driving on the Las Vegas strip.

After leaving a Mike Tyson boxing match, 'Pac and Suge were on their way to an afterparty when this event happened. Suge was driving his black BMW when a pearly white Cadillac sedan pulled alongside and fired upon the car.

'Pac was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. He would die of his injuries on September 13, 1996. The case remains open and to this day, no one has come forward with information.

Many in the junk food media accused Orlando Anderson as the gunman. He was known as "Baby Lane" in the South LA area. He was a Crip member who was brutally beaten at the MGM Grand Hotel by 'Pac and his bodyguards.

When the video of the attack on Anderson came to light, they saw that Big Suge was throwing them bows. So he violated his parole and sent back to the iron college for nearly 10 years.

Anderson was later gunned down in a Los Angeles car wash. He was primarily the focus of the Las Vegas Metro Police.

As of today, we mourn the loss of Tupac Shakur, a poetic, spiritual, troubled and controversial figure in hip-hop. Hailed as one of the greatest rappers known, Tupac Shakur was a product of his environment.

His father and mother were both active in the Black Panthers movement. Tupac learned the rules of the game at an early age. He was artistic, gifted, intelligent and savvy.

He wanted to strive for great things.

His life was cut short at age 25. He was engaged in a bitter feud with rival rappers from the east.

Notably the Notorious B.I.G. who 'Pac accused of setting him up at a recording studio in New York.

That led to the great war of the coasts.

To this day, 'Pac's life is fascinating.

Note: Afeni Shakur passed away this year after suffering from a heart attack. Big Suge is currently facing a murder charge after he ran over a man on the filming set of Straight Outta Compton.

Terrorist Set Fire To Florida Mosque!



A reminder to the folks who blame one group for the acts of one. Terrorism isn't exclusively Muslim. There are plenty of folks who willing to terrorize people and property for their twisted views. If we lump mass shootings, White extremism, gang violence, arson, illegal hacking and criminal hate crimes into terrorism, anyone who commits these acts of violence should be tried for the same criminal acts similar to international terrorism.

The destruction of religious institutions was always an act of terrorism. It went back to the years of the Klan burning down predominantly Black churches in the South.

Now the extremists are destroying mosques in the United States.

There have been numerous reports of extremists leaving burned q'urans, pig's blood, pig's heads and graffiti on the walls of mosques.

There was a fire at an Fort Pierce, Florida mosque overnight. This mosque was the place where the Pulse nightclub shooter once prayed.

The Islamic Center of Fort Pierce has images of the terrorist. The Florida state authorities and FBI are determined to capture this person.

In June, the Orlando community was hit by a terrorist who massacred 49 people inside a local gay nightclub. The terrorist was killed by the law after a gunfire exchange. To this day no laws were passed on handling mass shootings.

I will address the mass shooter in the usual blame game postings. After that, I will not mention the name of any mass shooter. I am done sending condolences to victims.

Ironic that on the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attack in 2001, we are no where close to being united. The cliches of "United We Stand" and "We Shall Overcome" are just words not speeches.

The hateful acts of this arsonist will not be tolerated. Hopefully justice will be served to this extremist.

There's No Such Thing As Unity!



I want to make this clear, there is no such thing as a united nation. The people here in the United States will forever be cynical of someone because of their differences.

It's unfortunate that 9/11, Martin Luther King Day and Christmas are supposed to be days of unity.

We put too much symbolism into these days. Cause once the names are read, the bells cling and the speakers say "there's hope for change", the next day, we head back to our corners waiting to destroy one another.

We are so freaking divided. It's divided among race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, education, economic and political standings.
President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are relentless attacked by Republicans for the 9/11 attack in Benghazi. The Republicans claim that they are more stronger on terrorism. They forgot a Republican president dealt with the country's worst act of terrorism on homeland soil.
It doesn't matter how many times our country comes together to mourn the 2846 victims of the September 2001 tragedy.

Our country changed 15 years ago. On September 11, 2001, we were attack by al Qaeda inspired hijackers. They managed to take four planes and use them as weapons on American targets.

The World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania are now sacred grounds for the numerous lives lost in this act of terror.

September 11, 2001 was the day that George W. Bush was thrust into a war against a foreign terrorist organization that many barely known. Bill Clinton had dealt with this organization during the first attack at the World Trade Center, the Kenya and Tanzania embassy bombing, USS Cole, the attacks on American citizens in Saudi Arabia.

The organization al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for this mission in which apparently over a dozen individuals left their families and decided to join a conservative Sunni fundamental Islamic extremist group for a suicide mission.
Since 9/11, Republicans boasted they're strongest on handling terrorism. Unfortunately, their obsession with cutting government and stifling human rights led to the worst disaster on American soil. George W. Bush exploited 9/11 to lead us to two wars.


Al-Qaeda was led by a Saudi Arabian man who was an heir to successful construction company. This gentleman, aided by an Egyptian doctor/activist, and a Kuwaiti engineer managed to plot a mass attack on the United States.

Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed were the backers of terrorist attack.


They saw lapses at American airports. They found that an opportunity was born when the United States lets their guard down after an election.

This tragedy brought together America.

For nearly 10 years, Osama bin Laden lived in hiding. He was held up in a safe haven in Pakistan.

President Barack Obama kept his promise. He was relentless in his quest to capture bin Laden. He didn't mince words on May 2011. The president announced to the world that the leader of al-Qaeda was killed by the United States Military Special Operatives in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

President Barack Obama has been really aggressive on disrupting al-Qaeda and its affiliates.

Now that al-Qaeda broken up into the new scare de jour the Islamic State, Republicans once again are flexing their tongues instead of their brains. They often attack Obama for not realizing the threat of "radical Islam" and the Islamic State. 

The president ignores them and focuses on using his allies and the finest in intelligence and military to help him defeat an enemy that is more savvier online than on the battlefield.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are both flexing their tongues on how to take on terrorism.

Being partisan is a part of 9/11 as well. To this day, Republicans believe that their policies kept America safe.Republicans claim that if it wasn't for Bill Clinton, the 9/11 attacks would of never happened. They blame Clinton for allowing bin Laden escape to Afghanistan. They claim that if it wasn't for George W. Bush, Osama bin Laden would of never been taken out. They refuse to acknowledge that Barack Obama solely focused on the fight against terrorism. 

REPUBLICANS ONLY USE THEIR TONGUES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM.

Alexis Arquette Passed Away!

The entertainment community lost another one. The transgender actress who was a part of the famous Arquette family passed away.

Alexis Arquette, the actress known for roles in The Wedding Singer, Miracle Beach and Down and Out in Beverly Hills. She was a part of a famous movie and television family. Her sisters and brothers included Rosanna, Richmond, Patricia, and David Arquette.

Alexis was surrounded by her family at the time of death.

Patricia Arquette released a statement from the family. "Alexis was a brilliant artist and painter, a singer, an entertainer, and an actor. We learned what real bravery is though watching her journey of living as a trans woman. We came to discover the one truth----that love is everything."

At an early age, Alexis performed in music video for The Tubes, "She's a Beauty" at age 12.

Her big break came when she played a trans sex worker named Georgette in the movie Last Exit to Brooklyn with her sister Patricia.

Alexis played in numerous roles before coming out as transgender. She had surgery in 2007.

At the time of death, the family played David Bowie's Starman. The actress did of an undisclosed illness. The actress was in a coma for at least four days before they had to end it.

The results confirmed by the family was the actress died of AIDS.

Alexis was born Robert in 1969. She was the fourth child of the family.



Clinton Health 9/11!

Bad moves from Clinton may give Trump an advantage.

The chances of Hillary Clinton being the president slimmed to 53% while Donald Trump's chances increased to 47%. So as the polls are "tightening" the conservative agitators and the rest of the junk food media are having a field day with the health of Clinton.

Today at the 9/11 memorial, Clinton abruptly left the event and was being aided to her vehicle. After a few moments later a statement release saying heat exhaustion. Then the official diagnosis is pneumonia.

"Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies. On Friday, during a follow up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was put on antibiotics. and advised to rest and modify her schedule. While at this morning's event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely".

The candidate says that she is suffering from allergies.

Clinton is back at her home and resting. But the junk food media isn't resting on the issue.


Hillary Clinton's Health: An Issue Or Distraction?

Yeah. The President of the United States has to be fit to serve office. Hillary Clinton's latest issue has me concerned about her being the president.
Nah. Everyone gets ill once in awhile. I'm not concerned about Hillary Clinton's health. I'm more concerned about her policies. It's a distraction.
Survey Maker


It was raised by the righties that Clinton's health is declining. Screaming Alex Jones, internet creeper Matt Drudge, Sean "Softball" Hannity", the most dumbest gay guy on the internet Jim Hoft made an issue of this. Now that Roger "Pervert" Ailes and Roger "Smear Shit" Stone are on the Trump team, the issue will be front and center in the campaign.

Of course, Trump's brought this issue up again. Trump who is 70 years old is also facing his set of controversies. He had his physician write his health status in less than five minutes. He also refuses to release his tax returns.

Yet, the junk food media will solely focus on the health of Hillary Clinton. She will be 69 in October and her health will be an issue.

So for Clinton, the conservative word vomit will be mostly about Benghazi, her emails, her health, her race-baiting, her husband Bill Clinton, her ties to the death of Vince Foster, her treatment of Bernie Sanders, her Russian reset, her Whitewater scandal, her role at the Clinton Foundation, her taking money from nations that treat women evil and her "CP" time comments.

Republicans are desperate.

This issue will certainly bring on the fence Republicans to flock to Donald Trump.

Fake Doogie Howser, M.D. Tried To Buy A Jag!

Fake Doctor trying to rent out a $40,000 Jaguar.
The man who became a national tabloid sensation is back in the lockup but this time in Virginia.

If I was Malachi Love-Robinson, I would try to fake a degree in psychology, cause this guy is crazy.

Love-Robinson was accused of stealing money from an 86-year-old patient faces new charges in Virginia after authorities say he fraudulently tried to buy a luxury car, the AP reports. Malachi Love-Robinson was arrested Friday and charged with identity theft after he attempted to purchase a Jaguar at a dealership, sheriff's officials say. They said employees became suspicious when Love-Robinson applied for a car loan with an elderly woman as the co-signer on the loan. The employees called the sheriff's office after looking up Love-Robinson's name in an internet search. Deputies came to the dealership and spoke with Love-Robinson, who said he came to Virginia to buy a car for himself and another for his godmother.

Detectives said Love-Robinson tried to buy a $35,000 Jaguar from Kargar Motors Car Dealership, located at 3316 Jefferson Davis Highway in Stafford, Virginia, on Sept. 9. They said Love-Robinson filed out an online credit application and used the name of a female as a co-signer on the form.

The woman later told deputies that she had not given Love-Robinson permission to be listed as a co-signer on the loan. She also told police she was unaware of recent purchases made on her credit card for two iPads. The sheriff's office says deputies seized the iPads when they arrested Love-Robinson. Sheriff's officials say they are still investigating. Love-Robinson was arrested in February after law enforcement officials in Florida said he was practicing medicine without a license. Authorities said Love-Robinson was illegally operating a medical practice—complete with an office, lab coat, and stethoscope—but had no license to do so. His attorney is considering a possible insanity defense on those charges.

Trump Gets A Set Of Kid Gloves From The Junk Food Media!





I didn't watch the Commander-in-Chief forum on NBC. It was being hosted by Matt Lauer of Today.

He had an opportunity to give the Democratic and Republican nominee an opportunity to lay out their strategy to command the military if they were elected president.

Let's just say that the forum was a total trainwreck and Lauer was panned for his performance.

Many of Hillary Clinton's supporters criticized Lauer for being too focused on the emails instead of how she can command the country's greatests. Others say that Lauer allowed Donald Trump to lie about his stances and gave him an opportunity to soapbox. Even conservatives were annoyed about Trump's praise of Vladimir Putin, the president of the Russian Federation.

It's not just Sean "Softball" Hannity who's treating Donald Trump with kid gloves, it's the junk food media as well.
Seven weeks to go.
The Commander-in-Chief forum on Wednesday and the Larry King's  RT America interview are really examples of how Trump can get away with lying.

Even criticism from Hillary Clinton on Donald Trump and his acolytes is being deplored as an attack on "real Americans".

What is trending today on social media was a comment made by Clinton. #Basketofdeplorables has landed mockery and accusations of playing the race card against Trump.

Trump is ridiculous catching up in polls. The race still favors Clinton but Trump's allies and the soft treatment towards him by the junk food media will make this race forever polarizing.

Blood On The Range!



There's a huge controversy going on in North Dakota. There's a major protest in the state over a proposed pipeline that's slated to go through land that Native Americans claim is very sacred land.

The state's Republican governor Jack Dalrymple called the national guard and state police to stop protesters from accessing water being dirtied from Dakota Access, the company that's proposing a pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois. Some of the security force used pepper spray and dogs on the protesters.

The fight has drawn attention to the plight of Native Americans. It even got a presidential candidate's attention. Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee is under a slew of controversy after she defaced the equipment. Now she will likely turn herself in and face charges for vandalism.
Dakota Access pipeline route. 
This pipeline has gotten the White House involved. President Barack Obama heard the concerns and ordered an immediate halt to the construction of the pipeline. Until the company disclose the issues that of that pipeline, they have to halt construction.

The Hill reports that this controversy is far from over.

The Obama administration said it would not authorize construction on a critical stretch of the Dakota Access pipeline, handing a significant victory to the Indian tribe fighting the project the same day the group lost a court battle.

The administration said construction would halt until it can do more environmental assessments.

The Department of Justice, the Army and the Interior Department jointly announced that construction would pause on the pipeline near North Dakota's Lake Oahe, a major water source on the Missouri River for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

The agencies will now decide whether they need to reconsider permitting decisions for the pipeline under the National Environmental Policy Act. 

"The Army will move expeditiously to make this determination, as everyone involved — including the pipeline company and its workers — deserves a clear and timely resolution," the agencies said in a statement. "In the interim, we request that the pipeline company voluntarily pause all construction activity within 20 miles east or west of Lake Oahe."
Oil is more scared to Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) and Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND). These two are inept members of the Senate. The Democratic senator supports Republicans 85% of the time.
The Lake Oahe crossing was a major concern for the tribe, which worries about the impact a leak in the pipeline would have on the lake. 

A federal judge Friday denied the tribe's request to halt construction on the 1,170-mile pipeline. The administration's decision came shortly after that decision. 

The tribe had sued over the Army Corps' approval of the project under a historic preservation law, but the judge ruled that regulators had acted properly when issuing permitting for the project. 

Despite the ruling, the agencies said, "important issues raised by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other tribal nations and their members regarding the Dakota Access pipeline specifically, and pipeline-related decision-making generally, remain." 

The Army Corps has permitted pipeline construction near Lake Oahe. But, as of last month, federal agencies had not yet issued the easements necessary for construction to begin there. 

Dave Archambault II, the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, hailed the decision, and vowed to continue fighting against the project. 

“I want to take a moment and reflect on this historic moment in Indian Country,” Archambault said in a statement. “But I know that our work is not done. We need to to permanently protect our sacred sites and our water. There are areas on the construction route that do not fall within federal jurisdiction, so we will continue to fight.” 
Republican governor Jack Dalrymple with John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp.
Dakota Access developers had no comment on the decision, but the Midwest Alliance for Infrastructure Now, a group supporting the pipeline, said it was “deeply troubling and could have a long-lasting chilling effect on private infrastructure development in the United States.”   

“This is a historic, unprecedented, and overdue move by the Administration that is reflective of the brave and principled stand by the Standing Rock Sioux,” Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune said in a statement. 

“The Tribe has stood up to combat the oppression and injustice they and Native Americans throughout our country have faced for generations, and the administration was right to recognize it.

G.O.O.D. Tyga!

Washed up rapper Tyga signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music.

The washed up rapper is apparently signed a deal with Kanye West.

The hip-hop blogs report that Tyga and The Migos are the newest signees to G.O.O.D. Music. But is Tyga still under contract with his old label?

Last year we wrote the rapper off when he started this ridiculous feud with Drake. He was then a signed artist on Lil' Wayne's Young Money and Bryan "Birdman" Williams's Cash Money Records. In 2014, the rapper blasted the label after Birdman scrapped the album Last Kings The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty. The rapper released the album independently on his newly founded Last Kings Entertainment. He asked Kanye West to help him promote the album. Kanye agreed and slapped his executive production to the album (although he didn't contribute to it).

The album was a complete failure. It basically ended Tyga's career. The fallout with Cash Money grew into an all out civil war when Lil' Wayne expressed frustrations with the label delaying his follow up albums.

The rapper has an ongoing relationship with Kylie Jenner, the half sister of celebrity agitator Kim Kardashian West. His ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna who is the mother of his son Cairo is dating Rob Kardashian and is pregnant with their child.
Atlanta group The Migos signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music.
Now Tyga's alleged signing to G.O.O.D. could be a good thing. I mean Tyga has been struggling to pay his bills. He is not an in-demand rapper. His mixtapes and albums were not good.

He was nearly evicted from his home, had his Lamborghini repoed in front of Kylie.

The family has warned Tyga not to take advantage of the 19-year old celebrity agitator.

Kris and Caitlyn Jenner express concerns that Tyga was cheating on Kylie with numerous women and asked Kylie to get a HIV-test. One of the women who warned Kylie was Mia Isabella. She came forth after finding out that she had an affair with Tyga and actor Charlie Sheen. She was a former transgender porn actress.

The Migos were signed to 300 Music and their own label Quality Control Music. They signed a management deal with G.O.O.D. Music. The group consist of Quavo, Offset and Takeoff. They released a handful of mixtapes and their first album Yung Rich Nation (N***as).

Now will they sign to Def Jam or stay landed on their respectful labels?

Tyga could "Make It Work".

ITT Technical Institute Closes Up Shop!

The end of  ITT Tech. 

The college world is rocked by the federal government's sanctions of one of the oldest for-profit trade schools. The ITT Technical Institute is closing all its locations including the one in my community of Dayton, Ohio.

With approximately 130 campuses in 38 states of the United States, this bit of news hurts the people who enrolled for this session. In August, the company was barred from enrolling new students who use government loans and has chosen to cease enrolling any new students at all.

ITT Tech announced that it was immediately ceasing operations and closing all of its campuses.

In 2014, Time magazine ranked ITT Technical Institute No. 2 on its list of "The 5 Colleges That Leave the Most Students Crippled By Debt". Among ITT Tech graduates with loans due in 2011, 22% had defaulted by 2014. According to the Time magazine report, ITT Tech's default rate ranked second; the for-profit University of Phoenix had a lower default rate by percentage (19% at Phoenix versus ITT Tech's 22%), but the total number of students in default from Phoenix was much higher (45,123 Phoenix students versus 11,260 ITT Tech students).

According to the College Scorecard, as of March 2016, 39% of ITT Tech graduates are paying off their debt, compared to the national average of 66% among all schools nationwide.

This percentage represents the number of graduates who were able to repay at least $1 in student loan debt in the three years after their graduation.

The U.S. Department of Education banned ITT Tech from enrolling students who receive federal aid and at the same time doubled the surety funds that ITT Tech was required to have, and to produce those funds within 30 days. Stock markets reacted with a punishing 35% drop which triggered a halt in trading, raising concerns about whether ITT Educational would be able to survive this latest decision

Carousel Beauty College also shut its doors in the Dayton, Ohio area. The five locations are gone.

This came without any warning as well. Many students attending the Dayton-based hair school are without a place.

The for-profit schools are on the way out.
