The folks over at Fox News aren't happy with the outside work of their hosts. The country's most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media was forbidden from appearing in Donald Trump campaign videos.
He was also told not to cite online unscientific polls (especially from The Drudge Report).
Dana Blanton, the vice president of Fox News warned all anchors that "online polls" are not credible.
"As most of the publications themselves clearly state, the sample obviously can't be representative of the electorate because they only reflect the views of those Internet users who have chosen to participate. Another problem--- we know some campaigns/groups of supporters encourage people to vote in online polls and flood the results. These quickie click items do not meet our editorial standards."
So in other words, Sean "Softball" Hannity: You're close to striking out.
Donald Trump's terrible debate performance doesn't destroy his chances at winning the presidency.
It might excel his support among non-educated White people. The people who continue to believe that the softball is an everyman.
On his radio show, the softball was citing online polls from The Drudge Report and The Hill as factors to Trump's performance. He also took jabs at the rest of the junk food media for being elitist.
The softball attacked the media “elites” for proclaiming Hillary Clinton the winner of Monday's presidential debate, when he said many viewers clearly thought otherwise.
Online polls from the Drudge Report, Breitbart News, CNBC and elsewhere showed Donald Trump coming out on top by wide margins, The softball said, but the mainstream media gave it to the Democratic nominee instead.
Many online trolls called him out for his hypocrisy.
More on his antics in the next post. He and the righties are going after former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado.
BE WARNED THE VIDEO CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES. TAKE DISCRETION WITH THIS. MAY CONTAIN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE.
The El Cajon Police are defending its officers after it fatally shot an man who allegedly had mental issues. Once again, the tragic shooting of unarmed Black men is coming into focus.
It sparked more outrage with the Black community and the law.
Two officers were responding to a call regarding a man walking in traffic. He refused order to remove his hands from his pocket. What drove them to shoot was the object that came from his pants.
The officers bot simultaneously shot and Tasered the man. He died on route to the hospital.
Alfred Olango was his name and the hashtag is trending online.
Of course, police chief Jeff Davis defending the actions of the officers. He said that they're lives were on the line. Davis concluded that Alfred has no weapon.
This incident has pissed off the residents of the city. The video emerged on social media shows the moments after the incident. A woman claiming to be Alfred's sister is heard screaming and crying.
She said she called the police for help.
"Oh my god. You killed my brother. I just called for help and you killed him." said the woman.
On the video a woman decried that it's time to riot. This shit is going on in California.
Mind you that the Rodney King incident and the failure to charge the four officers with charges set off a riot in the city.
The folks at Newser are mentioning a tragic gun crime inside a Starbucks. It's even happening inside a restaurant that many people find comfort in.
Las Vegas Metro Police arrested a terrorist who entered Starbucks armed with a semi-automatic firearm. The reason for the attack, he didn't get his order right.
A Starbucks customer described terrified people dropping to the floor and sobbing after a gunman parked his car and entered the Las Vegas store, shooting a man inside.
Customer Medin Gebrezgier told police and a television reporter that he saw the gunman, identified Monday by police as Pedro Jose Garcia, fire twice into the ceiling before shooting a man in the chest.
Garcia entered the store after his payment card was declined at the drive-thru window, police said.
"Terror, it was just terror. We were afraid," Gebrezgier told KVVU-TV. He described people crying and hitting the floor when shots were fired a little before 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
"We didn't know what was going to happen next. I had no idea what to do," he said. "I heard about this stuff on TV and movies, but it was all the way real."
The terrorist is 34 years old. He was jailed pending a court appearance on murder, robbery, burglary and weapon charges following his arrest at the Starbucks in a commercial center several miles west of the Las Vegas Strip.
Despite witness accounts that the terrorist was unable to make a purchase, a motive for the shooting remained unclear, police Officer Larry Hadfield said. The victim wasn't identified as a coffee shop employee.
"They're investigating whether there was any connection between the terrorist and the victim," said Hadfield, a department spokesman.
The name of the 41-year-old man who was pronounced dead at a hospital wasn't immediately made public by the Clark County coroner.
More than a dozen people were in the store at the time of the shooting, police Lt. Dan McGrath said.
Starbucks employee Tenaya Zimmerman jumped out the drive-thru window when shots were fired, her mother, Kim Plank, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Las Vegas Starbucks was the scene of a fatal shooting.
A message left Monday by The Associated Press at a telephone number associated with Gebrezgier wasn't immediately returned. A call to a number associated with Plank went to an incorrect number. No number was immediately found for Zimmerman.
McGrath said the terrorist tried to blend in and elude police at the scene by calling 911 and describing someone else as the shooter. He was arrested after witnesses identified him to officers arriving to what police initially thought was a hostage situation.
Parts of the shopping center were evacuated for about two hours while a bomb squad examined a backpack in the Starbucks that the terrorist allegedly said contained a bomb.
Hadfield said there was no device, but police said a .22-caliber handgun was found in the coffee shop.
The terrorist served time in federal and Nevada iron colleges for convictions on stolen vehicle, battery, attempted theft, drug and weapon charges, according to court and prison records that showed he was released from federal custody last November.
It wasn't immediately clear if the terrorist had an attorney ahead of his initial court appearance.
Many of the online polls said that Republican Donald Trump won the debate. I disagree.
The needle hasn't moved yet on the polls so we're still in a virtually tied race. Hillary Clinton was well prepared for this debate. Trump wasn't prepared for this and it's going to be two more of these and the vice presidential debates.
Now the kookspiracy nuts are complaining about it.
Some are attacking Lester Holt for not focusing on Clinton's scandals.
Some are attacking Donald Trump's sniffing and his sipping on water.
Some are attacking Hillary Clinton for wearing a red pantsuit.
Some are saying that Trump's mannerism are the key to his temperament.
The agitators are picking apart the issues that were discussed.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was roundly mocked by Trump for sipping water. Now the trolls made fun of the water drinking.
The first debate is on tonight and it's going to be a ratings pulls. All the major networks with the exception of The CW will run the debate at 9pm (EST). The debate will be moderated by NBC Nightly News host Lester Holt.
Holt will have the most challenge job in his career. He will be moderating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. It's going to be an interesting event to say at least.
An estimated 110 million people will watch this tonight.
The Big Debate: Who Wins?
The debate will be at Hofstra University. The previous host pussied out sparking outrage among the students, facility and the state party chairs.
Wright State University was the original host of the debate. They backed out when it became a fiscal issue. Of course, I drive for Uber and I would love to have an opportunity to have made some extra money on the side driving people to the Nutter Center.
Wright State will likely be out the running in 2020 and future presidential debates.
Anyway, the whole debate will be something to see.
Many expect Hillary Clinton will be prepared. Some will expect Donald Trump to be on his toes.
Updates will begin at 9pm (EST)/6pm (PST).
I will give my best take on this debate.
The candidates arrive at the event. Trump in a business suit and Clinton in a red pantsuit. Bill Clinton and Melania Trump shake hands.
Lester Holt introduces the candidates. The moderator has a big challenge ahead.
Terrorist shot innocent victims before he was put down by the Houston Metro Police. The terrorist was a disgruntled lawyer.
If we consider mass shootings an act of terrorism, maybe the inept Republican-controlled Congress could pass legislation to handle this.
They will not pass anything until a new president is in office. Republicans hope Donald Trump will become the next president. He will do everything if not anything to win. He will not control this. He signals more guns and more freedom for purchasing high powered firearms.
I refuse to say this terrorist name! This terrorist doesn't deserve any attention.
Fresh off the heels of Saturday's mass shooting, here's another one that will get little or no attention. A terrorist disgruntled with his job got a firearm and started bucking people.
The missing element to this story, he was not a Black man as the junk food media reported it was a White man and he wore Nazi paraphernalia.
This man was identified by Houston officials as the gunman, died after a shootout with police. He was wearing an old German military uniform adorned with Swastikas, KPRC-TV reports.
The gunfire broke out about 6:30 a.m. local time outside of Randall’s grocery store in the southwest area of the city. The attack then continued at the Weslayan Plaza strip mall.
Authorities do not believe there are any other suspects in the attack and a motive has not yet been determined. The shooting lasted for 20 minutes, according to Assistant Chief Richard Mann. Mann added that the injuries range from minor injuries to “more serious” wounds.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said that the gunman “appeared to be a disgruntled lawyer who took out his anger and frustration on individuals.”
The Houston PD said at a press conference just after the attack that the gunman was a disgruntled lawyer who had “issues concerning firm.” According to Yelp, the terrorist was a lawyer with Kenneth McDaniel at McDaniel & DeSai LLP. This terrorist specialized in family law and criminal cases, felonies and misdemeanors.
The terrorist father told Click 2 Houston that his son’s new venture wasn’t going well saying, “He was worried … because his law practice was not running good, so he (was) worried about this all the time.”
The victims ranged from minor to critical injuries.
Before the debate, we're going to get this little bit of bad news out the way.
Hillary Clinton is struggling.
Democrats should not panic but they better get nervous with the latest round of polls. In a matchup in the five key swing states, Donald Trump is either tied or leading with Hillary Clinton.
Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Iowa are very competitive right now and the convention bump that Clinton enjoyed for nearly two months is gone.
After she took time off the campaign trail for battling pneumonia and the "deplorables" comment, Trump found an edge in a race that should have been a wrap.
With the latest endorsement from bitter rival Ted Cruz, Trump got 90% of Republicans supporting him. At previous time, he was getting 70% of the Republican support.
Clinton better get her act together.
Now if you do the predictions, Trump now is at 52% chance of winning the presidential election and Clinton now has 47% and Gary Johnson has 1%. The Republicans are likely to keep control of the senate.
Ohio is going to Rob Portman, the incumbent who never lost an election. Ted Strickland was extremely slow to catch up to Portman. Portman has a 11-point advantage against the former Ohio governor. At one time, they were tied. Strickland's awkward comments and Portman's attacks on the candidate made him "slow to the table". This is similar to the Ohio governor's race when John Kasich beaten Ed Fitzgerald by 30 points. Kasich failed presidential campaign and refusal to support Trump may have backfired. Trump is doing at least three in national polls.
Florida is leaning towards Marco Rubio. Rubio who is a divisive figure in the Senate re-nig on his retirement. He decided to run for reelection and right now he's leading by four points in latest polls.
Pennsylvania is looking like it's going to Pat Toomey. Toomey who is widely disliked in the state is assured that he could make improvements if he gets reelected.
New Hampshire is still a toss up. I have Democrat Maggie Hassan tied with Republican senator Kelly Ayotte. Ayotte is looking a lot confident she could keep the seat.
Nevada is leaning Republican. The Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV) is leading against Democrat state assemblywoman Catherine Cortez Masto. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) the Minority Leader in the U.S. Senate is retiring after he had a serious eye injury. He handily beaten Sharon Angle in a match in 2010.
Okay, we're here! The debates. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will be on stage debating the latest controversy in the world and they'll have the whole country and world watching.
But in Houston, some won't have an opportunity to view it. There's an active shooting event in the fourth largest city in the United States. The law taken down the threat quickly, but the damage is done.
Please note that all mass shootings should be considered terrorism.
Terrorism isn't solely a Muslim, White, Brown, or Black person. Anyone with a motivation could be inspired to cause great harm among others.
Reminder, if you see something, say something.
If you are involved in an active shooter situation, the three things you do.
RUN - Do not stop for possessions. Run in zig-zag to avoid a shooter's sight. HIDE - Barricade yourself in an area that could lock. Cover windows and doors with objects that can secure you and others. If you can make a call to 911, make sure you're in a secure area. Make the call without tipping off the shooter. Keep calm. Make sure that if you're in a well secured spot, stay there until the law is there. Follow all instructions when an officer is clearing a scene. Do not take pictures or selfies. If you can post on social media (i.e. Facebook's 'I am Safe'), do so. FIGHT - It's recommended that you do not play "hero" in an active shooter situation. You are not law enforcement. If you are armed, you could be mistaken as a threat if the law is engaging in an active shooting. If you're willing to sacrifice your life for the safety of others, make sure you can grab something that could disable a threat. Usually a shovel, tossing sharp items and firearms. BE WARNED - If you use a firearm in disarming a threat, you could injure or kill a hostage. The law will charge you with a crime and you would face charges.
The silly hypotheticals about how if you have a firearm to stop a threat is a farce. Law enforcement see a "good guy with a gun" a threat. So don't believe the nonsense a conservative tells you!
Don't be a hero if you're not willing to sacrifice yourself.
Another senseless mass shooting in Houston. Who takes the blame in this?
At least seven people have been injured in the neighborhood of Weslayan.
An HPD bomb squad is heading to the scene after a suspicious vehicle was found near the scene.
The terrorist has been described as Black and carrying a revolver.
In open carry Texas, there's an active shooter. Maybe there's large police presence in the area.
HPD says one of its officers was able to shoot the suspect. We are not aware of the suspected shooter's condition.
At around 6:30 this morning, HFD scanners reported a suspect was at a strip center firing upon vehicles.
Emergency vehicles flooded the area around the Randalls supermarket strip center bordered by Weslayan, Bissonnet and Law Street.
Traffic was shut down on Weslayan after the shooting began in an attempt to protect drivers in the area.
Officers concentrated much of their focus on an apartment complex on nearby Law Street, located behind the strip center.
HFD officials reported on radio the terrorist was seen behind some trees as he opened fire on vehicles in the area.
The victims may have been killed. A mass shooting has to involve more than three people shot.
Here's the one thing that gets me upset.
They assume that the person's political ties are the reason for the violence.
Golf legend and tea afficandino Arnold Palmer passed away. He is the legend of the game.
Arnie was considered the best of the best. He was the greatest player in the history of golf. He passed away in Pittsburgh tonight. He was 87 years old.
Palmer was known as "The King" of golf. The most recognizable faces in golf. Palmer won his first Masters Tournament in 1958, followed by three further wins in 1960s.
His agent, Alastair Johnston said that Arnie passed away from a heart attack. He was admitted to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian when he passed away.
Doc Griffin told ESPN that he was sadden by the lost of the legend. "I'm just so heartbroken about it. As much as Arnold Palmer meant to the world, he meant that much and more to me."
United States Gold Association issued a presser.
Arnold Palmer with lifelong friends Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
"We are deeply sadden by the death of Arnold Palmer, golf's greatest ambassador. Arnold Palmer will always be a champion, in every sense of the word, He inspired generations to love golf by sharing his competitive spirit, displaying sportsmanship, caring for golfers and golf fans, and serving as a lifelong ambassador for the sport. Our stories of him not only fill the pages of golf's history books and the walls of the [USGA] museum, but also our own personal golf memories. The game is indeed better because of him, and in so many ways, will never be the same."
Perhaps is the most memorable of Arnold Palmer was the rivalries from Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. They were known as the "BIG THREE" in the golf community.
They won seven straight Masters titles among them from 1960 to 1966 and hit ceremonial tee shots together at the Augusta National to signal the start of the year's first major. Palmer hits his first ceremonial tee in 2007; Nicklaus joined him in 2010, and Player was added in 2012.
The terrorist who murdered now five innocent lives in a Washington state mall was captured without a single shot fired. The law got some great tips and they nabbed the terrorist.
Please note that all mass shootings should be considered terrorism.

This mass shooting cause by this 20-something loser.
His name will not be mentioned here but I will say that he is facing first degree murder charges and these charges could earn him a DEATH Card.
The law said that the terrorist look like he had that weird "Zombie looking" when he starting plugging into the Macy's perfume counter. Four women and one man were bucked by this disgusting human.
He was caught in Oak Harbor, Washington. He was walking casually in the city when the arresting officer took a double take. He radioed for help and ordered this terrorist to the ground.
The motive could be the nice guy who spurned by a relationship. No international terrorism as of yet.
He didn't seem to care about the lives he taken because he certainly was motivated.
The Seattle Times reports that one of the victims has been named as 16-year-old cancer survivor Sarai Lara. She was a student at Mount Vernon High School. KIRO reports that she was with her father at the mall. He was outside smoking when the gunfire erupted, according to the station. Her classmates have hatched a plan to wear purple and pink in her honor on Monday, September 26. While Lara’s mother, told the Seattle Times, “It’s not fair what happened to her.”
Innocent lives lost to a terrorist.
Another of the victims has preliminarily been named as 52-year-old Shayla Martin who worked at the makeup desk in the Macy’s store. Her sister, Karen Van Horn, told the Seattle Times, “We’re having a really hard time.” Van Horn is an employee of The Herald newspaper in Everett, Washington. Van Horn told that newspaper that a witness had confirmed to the family that Martin had been killed. Van Horn said, “She was so sweet. She was just very independent. She wanted to make her own way. She didn’t want to rely on anyone else.”
KIRO reports that two of the other victims are Belinda Glade, a probation officer, and her 95-year-old mother Beatrice Dotson. The Mayor of Burlington, Steve Sexton, referred to those lost as “treasured members” of the community.
Of course, we're already getting into the motivations of this shooter.
Here's the one thing that gets me upset.
They assume that the person's political ties are the reason for the violence.
Some are calling this terrorist a "Democrat". Some are calling him a "Trump" supporter. Some are saying he's a sympathizer with the "Islamic State". Some are calling him an immigrant.
None of these things are true. What is true is that he is a cold blooded killer and his politics had nothing to do with this whatsoever.
The hero tried to stop the threat. He lost his life.
Online records show that he was arrested in July 2015 on charges of assault in the fourth degree. KIRO reports that as a result of the charges, the terrorist was ordered to undergo mental health counselling that he completed in March 2016. During which time, he was ordered not to take drugs or drink alcohol. As of August 25, 2016, he was found in compliance with the court order.
The New York Daily News reports that the victim in the assault was the terrorist's stepfather. That man said at the time that the suspect was “going through a hard time.” The newspaper adds that he also had an arrest for drunk driving.
Initial descriptions had described the terrorist as being Hispanic. According to his Facebook page,the guy is a native of Adana in Turkey. He’s a graduate of Oak Harbor High School, class of 2015. He describes his nickname as “The Turk.” As of 2014, he was in a relationship. While in high school, Cetin was in ROTC.
These type of mass shooting don't get the coverage like the Pulse shooting.
Former actress Gennifer Flowers and NBA owner Mark Cuban will a seat at the first debate.
Who's going to be in the front row of the first debate on Monday?
Guess.
It's a blast from the past.
Gennifer Flowers and Mark Cuban both polarizing figures in the junk food media will attend the first debate between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Clinton invited Cuban to rile up Trump.
Cuban was rumored to be the sparing partner for Clinton.
Flowers is the former mistress of 42. Bill Clinton admitted in the testimony of a sexual harassment lawsuit from Paula Jones, he had a fling with the former actress. Flowers claims that Hillary Clinton threatened to expose her in the tabloids.
Me thinks the bug was in Trump's ear. One being a sexual pervert who ran the most powerful cable news networks and his old lachey, a truly annoying conservative agitator.
The first debate is slated to pull in an audience.
Mark Cuban, actor, business and media mogul absolutely hates Trump. Cuban is the founder of AXS TV and owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. He is a libertarian who endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
He along with fellow billionaires Warren Buffett and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg have came out in support of Clinton. They believe that Clinton can help the middle class and help strengthen the economy.
Flowers who was one of the many women who accused Bill Clinton of inappropriate behavior.
Trump was riled up over the Cuban pick so he said he'll tweak the Clintons by bringing up an old friend.
UPDATE: The campaign spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway said that Flowers's isn't invited to the debate.
BE WARNED THE VIDEOS CONTAIN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE AND DISTURBING IMAGES.
BE ADVISED WHEN VIEWING THIS.
Looks like the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police brings their "ace in the hole." On Saturday, the police department released portions of the video footage of the police shooting of Keith Scott.
Keith was killed by the law on Tuesday. This shooting sparked nights of unrest in which the mayor of the city imposed a curfew and the governor deployed the national guard. The junk food media is covering it from an angle that the protesters see as bias. The conservative agitators and the trolls are already licking their chops for a Donald Trump victory over these latest events.
The police were forced to release the video after the family of Keith Scott released their version to the junk food media.
The police video released shows the officers (who weren't identified) engaging with Keith. The incident shows one of the officers trying to gain access to Keith's vehicle. It captures the moments after Scott goes down, but the shooting itself was not seen.
The videos do not show Keith with a weapon. All I see from the videos is Keith getting out his vehicle walk backwards, hands at his sides. Four shots heard and then he drops.
Chief of the police Kerr Putney said that he was causing a threat to the lives of the officers.
There were two plain clothes officers. They were in an unmarked vehicle waiting to serve a warrant to another person. Keith just happened to park next to them.
Brently Vinson, the officer who shot Keith claimed that he held up a firearm. They withdrew to a spot nearby and put on their vest and then yelled, "POLICE" so they would identify themselves as officers.
Vinson claimed that Keith was ordered to drop the weapon. They call for a police uniform officer to assist them in making an arrest. An officer starts pounding on the front passenger window.
Keith would get out with the gun and back away from the police.
Police also released a more detailed explanation of the incident, claiming that Keith was wearing an ankle holster and had a marijuana blunt, photos of which they provided.
“He absolutely was in possession of a handgun,” Putney said. “There was no definitive visual evidence that he had a gun in his hand and that he pointed it at an officer. That I did not visually see in the video ... When [my officers] see a weapon and they see the marijuana they say ‘uh oh, this is a threat to the public.’”
Rakeyia Scott, the widow released her own cellphone recording of the shooting on Friday, pressure grew for the city to release footage from cameras mounted in police cars and worn by officers.
In Rakeyia’s video, she can be heard telling officers that her husband has a brain injury and that he isn’t carrying a weapon.
Protesters marched through Charlotte Saturday, chanting “no tapes, no peace” and “take our lives we’ll keep our money.” Just as activist groups gathered at Marshall Park for the procession, word came down through the grapevine that Charlotte City Council was bending to pressure releasing the tapes alongside the state Bureau of Investigation.
