The city of New York was rocked with an explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood. There were 29 people injured but so far no deaths recorded.
The New York Police Department and FBI are very determined to catch the people involved in this horrendous act of terrorism.
As usual, the blame game will come into play and usually the first thing that comes out an agitator's mouth. What is said is pretty simple: Who's gonna take responsibility for the act?
Almost immediately, the finger of blame is pointed at the Islamic State. Then of course, the president, Muslims, Black Lives Matter, liberals, Democrats and Bill de Blasio.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York governor Andrew Cuomo and President Barack Obama were notified about this. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were notified about this as well.
Each of these people express sorrow and anger at this. Yadda, yadda, yadda!
The NYPD and National Guard are on high alert. The city was planning on increasing police presence as foreign dignitaries are arriving at the United Nations. President Barack Obama will be in attendance for the last time.
Someone allegedly put a pressure cooker bomb into a dumpster and the thing exploded and it sent a shockwave across the neighborhood. There were another pressure cooker bombs found in New York about a few blocks away. Then there was one in suburban New Jersey.
A bomb went off in a residential neighborhood in New York City.
A man in Minnesota was stabbing people with a large knife. He stabbed nine people before the law bucked him. According to witnesses, the man was screaming at people asking if they're Muslims, before stabbing him. He decreed in holy Islamic rhetoric that "god is great" before the law bucked him.
The Islamic State has praised the terrorist for his actions.
Terrorism is a part of a daily routine. It happens just as much as a gun crime. It happens without notice.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. REPUBLICANS ONLY STRENGTH IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM IS THEIR TONGUES. THEY CERTAINLY FAIL AT USING THEIR BRAINS WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING TERRORISM. THEY CAN SAY "RADICAL ISLAM" AND ALL THAT OTHER WORD VOMIT AND HYPOTHETICAL BULLSHIT ALL THEY WANT. THEY ARE REMINDED THAT UNDER A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, THE WORST TERRORIST ATTACK ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, HAPPENED UNDER HIS WATCH. THE ISLAMIC STATE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF REPUBLICANS AND THEIR SO-CALLED PATRIOTISM. THE TERRORISTS THANK THE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR CONSERVATIVE ALLIES FOR GIVING ACCESS TO FIREARMS AND BOMB MAKING EQUIPMENT.
Of course, we must be vigilant. If you spot something, say something! It's most important that you contact the law if you see suspicious activity in highly populated areas. It's very critical to let the law know about friends or family members who may have issues that could inspire terrorism.
And for the last time, terrorism isn't solely Muslim or Brown people. It's an act committed by an individual(s) who have a political bone to pick with the government. Their objective is to disrupt the lives of others for the sole thrill of "making a statement".
Those who are arrested will face federal charges. In a federal charge, you can face the "DEATH CARD" if the government indicts you on terrorism.
The Democratic lawmakers from the Congressional Black Caucus were none to happy to hear The Donald finally admit the President of the United States being born in the United States.
Yesterday, they held a presser to discuss their frustration with Republicans and Donald Trump.
It was carried on CNN and MSNBC.
Trump News Channel (I meant Fox News) decided to not carry the presser.
The Black lawmakers were really not thrilled with Trump's rhetoric and they took to Washington to slam the Republican nominee.
"By any definition, Donald Trump is a disgusting fraud." said Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), the head of the Congressional Black Caucus. His campaign is completely "race based and insult to the intelligence of the American people.
Donald Trump's birther presser was a rouse. The junk food media was none too happy about the Trump announcement.
Game is laying 92 Bars on deck and offering the fans a Meek Mill punching bag.
There's a feud brewing between the Compton rapper Game and Philly's own punching bag Meek Mill. The two are now engaged in a bitter feud and it's brought Game back into the studio to record another round of "Bars".
You may remember the memorable 300 Bars. The 15 minute freestyle pretty much "destroyed" his old crew, G-Unit. The Unit's consisted of Game along with 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Tony Yayo. Game took to the mic and ruined The Unit's reputation as the kings of gangsta rap It led to one of the most contentious feuds in hip-hop.
It finally came to an end when 50 Cent and Game actually spoke to one another about a possible reunion at a strip club.
One thing that 50 and Game have in common: Their relentless feuds with man in the hip-hop industry.
50 Cent had went after Meek Mill earlier this year. 50 took to social media to mock Meek Mill for being a failed rapper. He said that Meek better try a hand at parenthood with his girl Nicki Minaj, cause his career is over.
When they were cool at one time.
Now it's Game Time! The Hurricane is brewing and it's close to striking land.
He's released the single 92 Bars. It's landing punches. Also the usual name drops.....!

Game accused the rapper of snitching on him for an alleged robbery of Baja rapper/singer Sean Kingston. The allegations stemmed from Kingston being robbed of a $300,000 chain in June. Meek and Game were in the venue.
Kingston's camp may have gotten a drop. According to Game, Meek soiled like a dirty diaper.
Meek Mill has been hated on by nearly every rapper in the business after he took a major "L" in the great war of 2015. Meek had went to war against Canadian rapper Drake and got his ass handed to him. He's been the butt of many jokes since then.
Although, he's been putting out good shit, the memory of him being "bodied by a singin' Nigga" continue to be the burn that just won't heal.
Once again, Nicki Minaj is caught in between these silly feuds.
His Dreamchaser 4 mixtape/album is still on delay and people are getting restless.
Lil' Uzi Vert is gunning for the crown....
On a bright note, Meek released a video game and it's a pretty damn good. He still with the baddest bitch in the rap game. The two are living in Los Angeles now with Meek checking in with his P.O. every week.
Meek took some joy in watching Drake and Future be robbed of their possessions.
Drake was allegedly robbed of his stuff. Someone robbed Drake's tour bus of nearly $650,000 in properties and the law is investigating.
Future lost Ciara to Russell Wilson. Rumor is that Ciara Wilson is pregnant with Russell's child. Future's feud with Rocko gotten uglier as well. Future is suing to get off Rocky Road Publishing/A1 Records.
Brian Stelter gets hit by Softball Hannity. The most annoying conservative agitator on television and radio was considering a lawsuit against CNN after "Pipsqueak" Stelter called him on his bullshit.
CNN's Brian Stelter is a part of the Sunday morning program Reliable Sources, a show that is tied to the morning block State of the Union. He's been pretty critical of the conservative agitators in the junk food media stirring shit about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's health. The agitators got more "credibility" when they saw Clinton wobble during an abrupt departure from the 9/11 memorial.
Clinton acknowledged that she had a pneumonia. She also acknowledged that this episode gave more credence to the notion that her health is declining.
Stelter was calling out three well known agitators in the junk food media for wishing Clinton to be in a death bed. He said that that Old fart Rush Limbaugh, internet creeper Matt Drudge and Sean "Softball" Hannity were deplorable for advocating Clinton potential death.
Well these agitators have been known for being provocateurs of name calling, slander, lies, and misinformation.
Old fart Limbaugh was none too happy about being called out by Stelter.
He said that Stelter was a basket case for lumping him into the kookspiracy.
"Little Brian's the one who sounds a basket case. What rumors have I talked about for years about Hillary's health", said Limbaugh. "My problem with Hillary Clinton has to be totally 100 percent policy-related. But I guess Brian's at home, these are the people that also blamed me for the Oklahoma City bombing. Let's not forget that. Bill Clinton himself in all of his glory. So I guess these people must idolize the Clintons."
Old fart Limbaugh attacks Hillary Clinton on her health.
Softball Hannity is the most annoying conservative agitator on television and radio is trying to attack Stelter because he's called him out on his bullshit. When he goes on and on about CNN being the Clinton News Network, I shake my head and then think to myself.
I say, "Why don't the rival networks call Fox News Channel, the Trump News Channel?"
Softball Hannity has given Donald Trump over 60 interviews. That's allegedly $31 million in free publicity. He's passionate about trying to get Donald Trump elected as the President of the United States.
He's brought on kookspiracy nuts, anti-Clinton agitators and a whole lot of Trump to his right wing carnival.
Now he's acting like Donald Trump when it comes to threatening lawsuits against rivals for making comments about him.
"What does--- how do I get an apology from CNN? Should I----I would love to sue them for slander when they say, "oh he wants Hillary on her deathbed and dead," when I said just the opposite. I know it's hard to sue when you're a public figure pretty much people can call you anything, and I've been called pretty much everything. But I'm thinking of suing them. Maybe, I'll get David Boies, my buddy, to do it."
Sean Hannity is the official softball of the Donald Trump presidential campaign. He's so soft and lumpy, it's a sure hit when it comes to "tough" questions. Softball Hannity will always be a hit with the Republicans.
And no, Hannity is not a registered conservative as he boast on his right wing carnival.
Republican nominee Donald Trump ends the charade. He admits that Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president is "indeed" born in the United States. This put away a long standing controversy sparked by people who refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the first Black president.
"President Obama was born in the United States, period," said Trump on Friday. "Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again."
Trump for five years taunted the notion that Obama wasn't really born in the United States.
He threatened to sue the president for his real birth certificate.
In April 2011, Obama released his long form birth certificate to silence Trump and kookspiracy nuts who pestered him with the notion that he's not being transparent.
Now who he blames for the birther kookspiracy is his rival, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
People still question President Barack Obama's birth and religion.
"Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther movement. I finished it," Trump said.
Trump's claim that Clinton started the birther movement is roundly debunked. But it hasn't stopped the Trump campaign, internet creeper Matt Drudge, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Old Fart Rush Limbaugh from blaming her for the birther nonsense.
Clinton slammed Trump for the birther nonsense.
"Trump was asked one more time where was President Obama born, and he still wouldn't say Hawaii. He still wouldn't say America," Clinton said to the crowd of mostly Latinos.
"This man wants to be our next president? When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry? Now, he's tried to reset himself and his campaign many times. This is the best he can do. This is who he is."
Teen faced death threats and a lowering of her grades because she refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
Conservatives have long criticized Black America for not getting over slavery. They believe that racism is over in the United States. They don't seem to understand that it's not just Black America getting fed up with the way things are going, but those who are Brown as well.
Native Americans have long faced oppression. They are often struggling to maintain the land that they've owned before the colonial rule.
Colin Kaepernick started a movement. Ever since he decided to not stand for the national anthem, many others decided to find a seat. Many others refuse to stand for the national anthem and pledge because of the country's oppression of people of color.
A young teen had her grades lowered because she refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance at a Lower Lake, California school.
Leilani Thomas won't say the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. She is Native American and argues the stars and stripes aren't hers.
"It's the reason, because of the history that happened her. On my land. My people's land," said Thomas in an interview with a local news agitator. "So I'm not going to stand for the people who did this to my people".
Leilani and her friend have used their right to protest since school has started. They refuse to stand for the pledge.
When the girls got their grades Friday, their participation scores were docked from a five to a three because they refuse to stand. Leilani recorded her teacher's explanation in class.
"Here's the deal. If you really, really have an argument and feel so strongly about, then I need to see it written out -- your argument -- in an essay form," the teacher is heard saying. "Like, why? Why, because her'es the thing; those people, they're not alive anymore. Your ancestors."
The Lake County school district superintendent said that Leilani and her friend have a right to protest.
The superintendent said that, "they shouldn't lose their First Amendment rights when they walk in the door. We are dealing with the teacher on this."
What repercussions the teacher will have after this matter?
Will conservatives rally around the teacher and boycott the school?
Will the teacher get an interview on Fox News or an agitator's program?
Obviously, the teens will get death threats and taunts of being a "traitor" and part of a "murder movement". They often call #BlackLivesMatter, anti-cop, anti-White and a murder group.
Columbus Police fatally shoots a boy with a pellet gun.
In Columbus, Ohio, the police are investigating a fatal encounter with a boy who was allegedly carrying a pellet gun. The law claims that the boy was involved in an armed robbery.
The name of the boy was trending on social media. The child identified as Tyree King had "pulled a gun from his waistband" when officers attempted to take him and another child in custody.
As the situation unfolded, the officer who is not named fired multiple times on King.
The weapon was recovered and the law determined that it was a BB gun. It had an attached laser sight. Of course that's the usual word play of justifying shooting.
"Our officers carry a gun that looks practically identical to this weapon. It turns out not to be a firearm, but as you can see, it looks like a firearm that can kill you", said Columbus chief of police Kim Jacobs.
Police were called to the neighborhood around 7pm on a report of a group of people who tried rob a person.
Officers followed the males into an alley and attempted to take them into custody. King was allegedly taking the BB gun from his waistband and that's when the officer fired on him.
The boy died an hour later at the local hospital. The officer known as Brian Mason, a nine year member of the Columbus Police is the officer who shot King. Mason is in the freezer pending the outcome of the situation. I am assuming that concern trolls and racists are trying to look into social media of Tyree King, to justify the shooting. No word of trolls looking into Mason's social media and officer training files.
I am guessing that the city is preparing for protests because they were quick to release the name of the officer who shot the child. They haven't released the dash camera, audio or body camera of the officer. The witnesses involved haven't posted on social media or talked to the junk food media.
Conservative billionaire could be a nominee for the Supreme Court if Donald Trump wins.
The guy who helped Hulk Hogan take down Gawker Media is a topper for a Donald Trump Supreme Court nominee. Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal is spreading the gospel of being a nominee for the highest court in the land.
Thiel, an openly gay Republican will be a disgrace to the rights of people who speak out against oppression.
Word on the street, that if Trump wins the presidency, that will be the first thing he will do to get the ball rolling with the conservatives. Of course, Thiel who is a billionaire is a libertarian/conservative who opposes LGBT rights. He is strongly against ambush journalism but is willing to fund organizations that attack politicians.
Trump had proposed 11 judges who could fill the void if any of the current eight justices would retire or die in office.
Its been seven months since President Barack Obama made his decision to pick Merrick Garland to replace Antonin Scalia for the court. Republicans vow to not pick a nominee until the next president is sworn in. That hasn't inspired Democrats to action. That was swept under the radar for the Republican debates and primaries.
Republicans are gambling with power. Cause if the Republicans take control of the White House and Congress, Democrats and their progressive allies will spark an all out war against them.
They will do the Republican like they've done Obama. They will grandstand, delay, stall and vote "NO" on everything. They will question the legitimacy of the president and the cycle will continue until the next election.
Republican nominee Donald Trump made an unexpected trip to Flint, Michigan.
He paid a visit to the city to tour a water treatment plant and attend a Black church.
Trump's outreach to Blacks went awry. Speaking to about 70 people, Trump starts laying into his opponent inside Bethel United Methodist Church. Trump attempted to blame his opponent for the crisis in Flint, but it was stopped at the gate.
Rev. Faith Green Timmons, pastor of the church interrupted him asked him stay focused on the progress in Flint.
"Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we've done in Flint, not to give a political speech."
"Oh, oh, oh, Ok, that's good," Trump said. "Then I'm going back to Flint."
Trump called the water crisis a "shame".
Flint's mayor Karen Weaver said that Trump's visit to the city is a photo-op and it deprives valuable time from the workers trying to fix the water systems. She is a supporter of Hillary Clinton. Weaver was in Washington, DC lobbying Congress to pass emergency funding for her city.
She hasn't forgotten the debates in which Trump and the other 16 turds failed to mention the crisis in Flint. Clinton has also face criticism from this. She only appeared in Flint during the debates and hasn't been back since. She would loss Michigan to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the Democratic primaries.
The Kellyanne Conway approach seems to be working for Trump for the time being. The Republican is catching up with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in Ohio and Florida. The Republican is trying to make outreach to the Black community. It's like the junk food media's forgotten about Trump and his acolytes.
Trump at a Flint Water Treatment Plant.
They forgot about Trump supporters punching Black protesters.
They forgot about Trump running this "law and order" nonsense with Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke.
He is retweeting from White extremists.
His allies are racial agitators like David Duke and Stephen Bannon.
His best buddies are Roger "Pervert" Ailes, Old Fart Rush Limbaugh, Roger "Shitface" Stone, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Breitbart and internet creeper Matt Drudge.
They forgotten that Trump questioned President Barack Obama's birth certificate and his religion.
I know I have not forgotten that Trump and Republicans deliberate attempts to undermine Black America.
Call this the "New Trump". Another pivot. A more discipline Trump who will say things from a teleprompter and try to actually lay out a plan to help millions of Americans he scorned during his presidential run.
McKinley "Mac" Phipps with his son on the grounds of a Louisiana iron college.The former rapper may be freed from jail after evidence emerge showing he wasn't the shooter.
From the days of being on No Limit to the nights at the Louisiana iron college, McKinley Phipps, Jr., formerly known as Mac is hoping that he may get a "free card". For 15 years, Mac's seen bars and it wasn't inside a studio.
Now it seems like he may soon have a chance to get his freedom. The 39-year old former rapper has denied participating in this tragedy. And it seems like there's a possibility he may be freed from the iron college.
In 2014, Medill Justice Project in partnership with The Lens looked into the matter. After a three month investigation into Mac's conviction, it revealed details of a key-witness being intimidated into identifying him as the killer. The Huffington Post's David Lohr published the results of a four month review into the conviction.
Four witness in regards to the shooting told HuffPost that they were threatened, intimidated or outright ignored by investigators. Mac's family also obtained affidavits from many of the individuals in an effort to get him a new trial.
The prosecutors had no forensic evidence. It didn't bother to perform ballistics on the gun belonging to another man who confessed.
I can tell you that Mac was one of the hardest rappers on No Limit. The label founded by Percy Miller, Sr. known to the world as Master P. He released two albums on the label, Shell Shocked and World War III on the label.
In 2001, Mac was convicted of killing Barron C. Victor, Jr. He was served a 30 year to LIFE bid at the Elayn Hunt Lockup in St. Gabriel, Louisiana.
The former fiance of Victor, Samantha Barnes believes that Mac was railroaded by the justice system.
Mac's case tells the story of how being a rapper who paid the price for his freedom of speech. He spoke of murder and drugs. He was talking about his struggles. The Louisiana courts saw that as a reason to put in the iron college for LIFE.
Hopefully Mac gets a new trial. He deserves the right to a fair trial given Louisiana's history of locking up Black people at a faster rate than any other race in that state.
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!
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.
