Ace Hardware refuse to sell items to Standing Rock protesters.
Conservatives are boycotting Kellogg's for not sponsoring websites like Breitbart. The white extremist website was crucial to that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/reality television star. He will be is your next president. They promoted stories that many consider anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-LGBT, anti-Native American and anti-immigrant.
Kellogg's promotes diversity and they don't want to be associated with hate and they along with other venues cut ties to Breitbart. Now the white extremist are mad an they are throwing their cereals and snacks in the toilet.
Now, Ace Hardware is facing the wrath of the consumer. Now progressives are boycotting the hardware company for supporting the crucial treatment of Native Americans protesting a pipeline that could inflict harm on the water supply in the Midwest.
Keep fighting.
The hardware company said that it will support its affiliates refusal to sale items to Standing Rock Protesters. The company said it will not sell "incendiary" products in the vicinity of Standing Rock pipeline.
The refusal to sell propane to thousands of Native Americans and their allie who are now camped in blizzard conditions. These are the people who are defending the Missouri River and burial places from Dakota Access Pipeline. This is the latest in a campaign of total disregard for human life by North Dakota governor Jack Dalrymple and Morton County sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier.
The Standing Rock protest is ignored by the junk food media. For nearly a year, the Standing Rock Native American reservation and its allies have protested the Dakota Access Pipeline. The pipeline could threaten the water supply and their spiritual grounds.
Protests began in March and it's been ongoing ever since. The junk food media has ignored the brutal police encounters with protesters. Morton County's sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier has been in the crosshairs of the protesters, He has demanded they be removed by order of the court.
Some of the protesters were injured by the police dogs. Some were injured by police projectiles and pepper spray. This is being ignored.
This issue is ongoing and President Barack Obama and the incoming dictator haven't mentioned much about it.
Energy Transfer Partners is hoping to built this pipeline and they're hopeful the dictator could get the ball rolling.
Last posting of the month. Next month I'll get ready to cover 2016 in review.
I'll be ready for 2017. I'll make sure that I will continue to bring the A-game to World News Today.
Okay, thanks for reading. And yes, I'm so freaking lame. I am so freaking lame for not giving you a platform to respond to these postings on World News Today.
Normally, I often just delete these comments and move on. But today, I want to set the record straight about who we are and what you are.
1) No one put a gun to your head telling you to read our blog.
2) Me and S. Baldwin been doing this stuff for years. We're not going anywhere. 3) We cover this stuff as well as the junk food media. It was worth noting because of the not so good police officers and the communities they're supposed to protect, I wouldn't be covering these issues.
On the previous post. Yeah, I'm pissed that cops are getting away with murder. I will not be surprised that more violence will happened towards those in law enforcement by the irrational. For every bad cop, there's a cop who died because of that one. The problem is that 1 out of 4 officers makes the whole bunch seem like they're advocating criminal behavior. 4) White privilege is an issue brought by a White scholar and White comedian. It wasn't our idea to bring up this issue. We just wanted to share this in order to prove a point.
5) So what! I said, Trump Supporters Flaunt "White Privilege" Towards Black Women. This stuff is frequently covered by the junk food media. Not to mention the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League's monitoring of hate crimes since Donald J. Trump became your president.
Maybe I could say White Bitch Berates Black Women At Michaels and go fully uncensored.
But that's not what I wanted. I wanted to point out the #NeverTrump and #Notmypresident meme. If the last postings on this blog say Resist The Racist Trump, would you be more inclined to post your worthless comments on this blog. Why do you often find someway to worm your opinion into postings that deal with racism?
Do I need to put an adjective on everything that I've post?
So if I want to say I Want Donald Trump To Fail: Will you go bananas over that?
6) Grow the fuck up. This is an opinion and mixture of a news blog. Some of the stuff posted will be controversial and inspiring. We do not apologize for that.
We understand you have a right to discourse. We have a right to delete you, ignore you, block you and end all contact with you. You may get mad. You may create hundreds of blogs, base your whole life around us and the blog, but you can't move a rock without breaking your back. We're a rock and we're not going to be moved. I want to prove to our good readers that our issues matter. We're not trying to make our issues based on one issue.
If you don't care about our issues, that's your problem.
7) I don't know you personally, but I bet you that you're not liked among people. I can tell that you spend countless hours and days trying to debate them "oh so liberal" agitators and those Black people who have an opinion. You troll blogs such as this one because it's "A BLACK BLOG."
You want to vomit about how it's not fair for THE BLACKS to bitch about injustices.
White men and women have injustices too! Yeah, that's what you're saying to us? You want us to focus on more criminal acts by Black folks, right?
You want us to attack President Barack Obama and his family because in your mind, he's the biggest racist to ever be in the White House. Well now it's our turn. You want to defend Donald Trump and his family because in your mind, he's draining the swamp. Well sir or ma'am, he's not doing that.
He's a White old, privileged man-child. He is a controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature/reality television star. He will be your president, not mine.
I will do what you and many of your Republican friends done to Obama. We will target Republicans for their ineptness. We will make sure Donald Trump has a rough four years. He's 70 years old.
By the end of his first term he will look like a 95 year old man.
You believe everything is liberal and corrupt. The air, the roads, the television, the shows you watch, the blogs, the colleges, the highways, the ocean, the planets and the animals. They're all liberal right?
8) That's why it's great to post on a blog. We expect this stuff. Thank you for reading. I don't agree with you and I don't have to call you names to say that. I don't have to keep promises either. So if you're reading this again, make sure you take the time to read 6 and 7 again. That's the only response that matters to you. You can call it an insult on your intelligence or name calling. It doesn't matter.
The rest is just me venting.
Hey anonymous trolls, watch concern troll (alt-right) blonde beeyotch Tomi Lahren get nailed to the floor by Trevor Noah. Listen carefully to what is being said before you beeyotch once again on our blog.
Tony The Tiger is the iconic Kellogg's spokesperson. Breitbart is bitching about Kellogg's pulling its sponsorship.
Something to keep in mind.
What's trending online is #DumpKelloggs on Twitter.
Conservative outrage over Kellogg's (and its subsidiaries Carr's, Kashi, MorningStar, Sunshine and Keebler) are pulling advertising from the far-right Breitbart News. The site is accused of pandering in White extremism and fake news.
Now the website mounts an attack on Kellogg's and other companies that severed ties with the site.
And now people are "boycotting" Kellogg's by not purchasing the brands. Of course some are going to the extreme by pouring it into the trash and down their toilet bowl.
Mind you these are the very same people who say that "you're not a patriot" if you stand on the American flag. These are the same people who want to boycott Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers because he refuses to stand for the national anthem. These are the same people who believe that a victim of police brutality deserved it because he had a criminal history.
See it's the ongoing divide we're going to be facing when the dictator comes to power.
This is the formula of Breitbart. They rally their White extremists friends to go after an entity that they proceed as liberal. Kellogg's isn't supportive of extremism and they along with others pulled advertising from
Cereal killer.
White extremist Stephen Bannon will be in the White House with his boss, the billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/reality television star. That asshole will by your next President of the United States. He and his Christian extremist partner will take the helm in January.
Bannon, the former CEO of the Breitbart Media is a panderer of extremism. He will be the asshole's chief of staff.
Bannon and his minions are celebrating in victory over the Democrats. They promise more to come in the era of Donald J. Trump.
Now as Trump is gathering his posse together, the junk food media is watching his every move. They making sure he can keep his promises since winning the election. The agitators are carefully watching the asshole and hoping he slips up. Being the new guy will be good for the first few months.
White extremists are livid over Kellogg's cereal pulling ads from far right blog.
Once you slip up, it's going to be nonstop coverage.
While we're ahead, I might as well get this out the way.
Progressives are plotting revenge on Republicans. After the treatment of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton by the right, the left is now going to make noise against Trump.
Progressives are putting pressure on Republicans and their conservative allies. They are mounting offensives against talk radio,Republican lawmakers, conservative blogs, CNN and Fox News. They are calling for economic boycotts against these groups. Conservatives are countering with boycotts of groups that attack Breitbart and InfoWars.
No charges will be filed against Brentley Vinson, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Metro Police plain clothes detective who killed Keith Lamont Scott. Keith's death set off a few nights of unrest.
The Mecklenburg Co. District Attorney Andrew Murray said at a press conference Wednesday that Vinson acted lawfully when he shot and killed Keith.
Vinson and other officers were after another man when this encounter happened. They found Scott and confronted him instead.
"After a thorough review, and given the totality of the circumstances and credible evidence in this case, it is in my opinion that Officer Vinson acted lawfully when he shot Mr. Scott," said Murray.
What happened at the scene merited two different theories. One saying that he was minding his business and he didn't have a gun. Rakeyia Scott said to the cops he was on his medicine and he wasn't doing anything to them.
Charlotte plains clothes officer Bentley Vinson got off a murder charge.
When asked about if Keith had a gun, the district attorney ducked it.
"The videos show that Mr. Scott did not comply with those commands. In interviews, an officer described Mr. Scott's behavior during this incident. Those descriptions included that he had a blank stare as if he was in a trace-like state. This behavior is consistent with the known side effects of medication prescribed to Mr. Scott. Additional side effects are aggression and behavior abnormalities," said Murray.
The family isn't happy about this.
"We wish to express our thanks and gratitude to the Mecklenburg County District Attorney Murray, his office and the [North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation] for the respect they shown the Scott family and for their willingness to explain how they conducted their investigation and the conclusions they reached.
We are profoundly disappointed in their decision not to criminally charge Officer Bentley Vinson for actions in taking the life of Keith Lamont Scott.
While we understand that many in the Charlotte area share our frustration and pain, we ask that everyone work together to fix the system that allowed this tragedy to happen in the first place.
All our family wanted was justice and for these members of law enforcement to understand that what they did was wrong.
We respectfully aks that you please keep any protest that may occur peaceful. Responding to violence with violence is never an appropriate response. This is just one more step in our quest for justice."
So, I am going to be blunt in this. I am getting fed up with this. I am tired of cops getting away with murder.
President Barack Obama voices frustration with Washington lawmakers who look upon fake news as facts.
Relentless rambling from fake news sites, Fox News and that annoying conservative agitator Sean "Softball" Hannity helped that controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/reality television star Donald J. Trump become your next dictator-in-chief.
Fox News shot to the top in the early 2000s. It was created by Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch. In 1996, it started slow but quickly rose to being the number one watched cable news channel.
It ran on this narrative that it's "fair and balanced" and the "we report, you decide" mantra.
It also ran on the hot women in skirts and heels. It's primetime lineup is very profitable. Agitators like Bill O'Reilly, Shepard Smith, Bret Baier, Neil Cavuto, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson and Sean "Softball" Hannity do exceptionally well. Because of their attacks on President Barack Obama, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, White people poured out in favor of this asshole and his Christian Extremist sidekick.
Roger Ailes would have been proud of his network. Unfortunately his behind the scenes antics doomed his career.
And of course, the president has followed the scandal over at Fox. He believes that Fox News created this bubble of resistance. No matter what is said or proven as fact, a Fox News viewer will not support it.
President Barack Obama is not happy about this election. His legacy could be turned upside down with the Republicans back in charge.
He made his feelings known in one of his last interviews with the Rolling Stone. He talks to Jann Wenner about the election, his post-presidency and the future dictator.
He said that Democrats can't connect to America because of the junk food media brainwashing them with garbage.
"The challenge is people are getting a hundred different visions of the world from a hundred different outlets or a thousand different outlets, and that is ramping up divisions. It’s making people exaggerate or say what’s most controversial or peddling in the most vicious of insults or lies, because that attracts eyeballs", said Obama.
He said that Fox News, talk radio and outlets like The Drudge Report makes it harder for Democrats to get their message out there. These outlets spread the seeds of distrust and despair and it makes Americans very skeptical about government.
Obama added, "In this election, [White working class voters] turned out in huge numbers for [Dictator-elect] Donald Trump. And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively. Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground. And when we're on ground, we do well."
He said that fake news sites sponsored by foreign governments like Russia also make it easier for Trump to win this election.
Fox News, MSNBC and CNN are driven towards controversy for partisan rancor and ratings.
Gotta love the clickbait stories of racist Trump supporters. Last night I posted the video of two White people flaunting their privilege at Black women. They were brutally attacking Black women and claiming that bad customer service was an act of racism towards them.
Now it's reported that the woman who featured in the video ranting at two Michael's employees was the woman who had ranted at two workers at a Peet's Coffee and Tea store in Chicago.
Her name is Jennifer Boyle and she's now in hiding after the videos were published.
Someone recognized her and posted her name and address and LinkedIn profile to social media.
She attended DePaul University and worked as a human resource business partner at Sinai Health System.
The poster said that in the workplace, she was truly the bitch in the video. He claimed that she's "batshit, racist and crazy."
"She is just as nuts in person as this video depicts," said the poster. "From a legal perspective, I am not sure what I am or am allow to say; but I will leave it at this. Everyone was happy when they found out she was no longer welcome back."
Bobby Brown got redemption for his daughter Bobbi Kristina.
Bobby Brown won a major court case this week. He successfully sued Nick Gordon for the death of his daughter Bobbi Christina Brown.
Nick Gordon was ordered to pay $36 million for negligent demeanor in the death of his daughter.
Gordon denies any fault to her death and will appeal the decision.
The reality television star was found unconscious inside her Atlanta home.
They had to rush her to the hospital where she was placed on life support. After a few months on life support, they had to take her off after finding out she was brain dead. Her death became major news last year. Her death was eerily similar to her mother's tragic death in 2012.
Nick Gordon has to fork over his life to pay for Bobbi Kristina's.
Whitney Houston was found unconscious n a Beverly Hills hotel. They tried to revive her to no success. The news of her death was announced during a taping of the Grammys. It was so tragic because Bobbi Christina was very close to her mom. Bobbi Kristina went over the edge and Nick Gordon helped out.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was the only daughter of Whitney and Bobby.
Bobby Brown has at least eight children.
Bobby Brown confirms that his group New Edition is working on a movie about their rise to fame.
Bobby Brown grew up in the Boston area of Roxbury and lived in Dorchester before he joined the group. He currently lives in Atlanta.
I blame Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott and Bruce Rauner for the actions of these White assholes. They support this assholes who talk this anti-Black, anti-Hispanic, anti-LGBT and anti-Muslim rhetoric. They are flagrant supporters of this [Alt-Right] White Extremist movement.
The Huffington Post once again goes for the click bait. It's unfortunate that I happened to click on this bait. There were two incidents where White people were demeaning Black women.
They go around flaunting that they're being discriminated because they're White and supporters of the dictator and his Christian extremist partner.
A Chicago area shopper at a Michael's craft store got riled up by a Black cashier.
She got riled up over the Black cashier asking her to pay for $1 reusable bag. They ran out of normal bags and asked her to purchase a reusable one.
"And I voted for Trump, so there. You want to kick me out because of that? And you look who won," said the unidentified customer.
Another customer whipped out the camera and recorded the tirade. She shared it on social media and it went viral. Jessie Grady who filmed the encounter was shakened by the reaction of the woman.
The woman called her a slut and said her child was a shoplifter.
"I was just discriminated by two black women, and you being a white woman and you literally thinking that's okay. Why don't you go home to your husband who's cheating on you," said the customer.
She aims at a Black customer and called her an animal.
"This woman came around and screamed at me from across the goddamn store like an animal! An animal! Animal! You screamed at me from across the store like you were in your own living room. You're an animal!"
Michael's and the Chicago Police confirm that a disturbance was there. But the woman who went into a tirade was long gone. Michaels confirms that the two workers were upset but they followed the procedures correctly.
"We regret that our customers and team members were affected by this unfortunate incident."
And earlier this month a White man was on a profanity laced rant at a Black barista at a Miami area Starbucks store.
The man, David Sanguesa was visibly upset with the woman because he felt that his politics were the reasons to why he didn't get his coffee on time. He said that he waited a long time because he was a Trump supporter.
This guy claims he was mentally ill when he berated a Black woman working at a Starbucks.
"Because I voted for Trump. Trump. You lost," said Sanguesa. "I was racially discriminated against."
He said that he will sue Starbucks.
The man even threatened to fight a customer who was telling him to calm down. Starbucks is looking into the incident and called upon all parties to work this out.
Welcome to Trump's America. An America where these people can disrespect Black women.
They think it's appropriate to call First Lady Michelle Obama an "ape in heels". Or in the case of these two White people, they have the audacity to call Black cashiers "trash" for doing their jobs and not caving to their demands.
This terrorist was an 18 year old who used a butcher knife and his car as a weapon. He used it on the Ohio State University students who weren't aware.
I place the blame of this attack on the feet of Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Rob Portman, and John Kasich. They refuse to support mental health screenings for troubled teens. They believe that firearms in the classroom could stop a threat.
Again, I normally blame the suspect for the attack. But since political correctness is off the table, I will blame the Republican Party for the actions of extremists. They relish in this stuff and place the blame on the feet of Muslims, African Americans, immigrants, and progressives.
Well it's about time to blame the Republicans, the NRA and the self-serving "heroes" for this.
They don't get it.
So we'll keep the pressure on them until they get it.
The officer (right) was the one who bucked the terrorist. The junk food media pixeled the body when he dropped.
And why is it that the law can quickly put down a man of color! I never seen a cop put down a White terrorist. I mean what happened to the "drop your weapon" demand?
Was the terrorist lunging at the cop?
I am all for the cops stopping the threat, but how many people died when White terrorists shoot up schools and businesses before they end their own lives. No cops ever shot the shooters of Columbine, Sandy Hook and Umpqua Community College.
In Columbus, Ohio, the city police aided by the FBI are determining how a man managed to use his vehicle as a weapon and then pulls out a butcher knife and started stabbing. President Barack Obama, Ohio governor John Kasich and dictator in waiting were notified of the attack.
11 people were injured in this attack and of course the junk food media have already labeled this "radical Islam". The divisive phrase once again happens when a terrorist who is a practicing Muslim commits an attack on America or Western Europe.
The terrorist named Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an 18 year old man went to social media to say that he's had enough of the bullshit. So before he went into attack mode, he watched a couple videos from Anwar al-Awlaki, the American born cleric who had ties to al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula.
al-Awlaki was killed in 2011. But his legacy as well as Osama bin Laden and Adam Gadahn still lives on. They have been killed by U.S. forces. But since social media is a gateway to extremism, this terrorist found comfort with the rhetoric of the dead.
Ohio State University students are rattled by a madman's attack on the campus.
The Somali born man lived in Columbus. He was frustrated with American influence in the Muslim world.
"America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that," said the terrorist before he set it off.
The last posting from him was "Forgive and forget. Love."
The terrorist was the "good guy". The terrorist has no criminal history. He has no ties to Black Lives Matter or any terrorist group. He was attending Columbus State Community College for a few years before he graduated with his associate's degree. He took an opportunity to head to Ohio State to pursue education there. He may have been triggered by alleged discrimination. He escaped the Somali war. He sough asylum in the United States. He lived in Dallas before settling in Columbus.
He talked to the Ohio State University newspaper The Lantern about his experience.
"If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don't know what they're going to think, what's going to happen."
This attack happened at 10am and it was quickly defused by a campus cop who shot the terrorist on sight. The officer, Alan Horujko was placed in the freezer pending the outcome of the investigation.
Horujko was a member of OSU Police for two years.
Of course, the reactionary would say its the works of the Islamic State. The Sunni based terrorist group that has spooked many here in the United States and became a fodder for the incoming dictator.
The terrorist group called for lone wolf attacks. Some people are inspired by the call to action.
The incoming dictator promises a Muslim ban and "extreme vetting" of people coming from nations that have possible links to terrorism.
My vacation in Niagara Falls. I took a picture of the International Boundary Line at the Rainbow Bridge. Its one of the many border crossings that the United States and Canada share.
Our future dictator has one of his properties in Toronto.
Our neighbor to the north is concerned about the nationalist stance of your incoming dictator. His surprise win has concerns globally. He is not prepared for the job. The controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/reality television star who will become the 1st Dictator of the United States will take office in January along with his running mate the Christian extremist who is the outgoing Indiana governor. They promised that they will make America Great Again.
On his journey he may takedown many allies in his quest.
Canada our most reliable ally in the world is hoping that the incoming leader will not ruin a century's worth of trade and friendship.
If you didn't know this lovely fact, let me inform you about it. The U.S.-Canadian border is one of the longest boundary in the world. It's an invisible line that cuts through two countries and the U.S. Border Patrol and Canadian Border Service Agency monitor it 24/7, everyday. The International Boundary Commission is the agency that deals with maintaining the border. The IBC must cut through forests and mountains to maintain a clear path dividing the countries.
It spreads from Alaska in the extreme northwest with the Yukon and British Columbia. Then it starts from Washington state to Maine. It passes through the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick.
It pass through the U.S. States of Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan (water), Ohio (water), Pennsylvania (water), New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
It passes through forests, mountains, valleys, and water. However the border is complex. Some of the United States extends into Canadian mainland and vise versa. It's noted that some of the border does pass through buildings such as homes, businesses, and a library.
In the tiny town of Derby Line, Vermont, there is a handful residents who are literally neighbors to the people of the city of Stanstead, Quebec. The town was cut in half and the residents must apply for passports to see their neighbors. So if you live in Derby Line to get a fresh pizza from Stanstead, you better have a passport. If you from Stanstead and want to travel to the nearest Walmart 30 miles down the Interstate 91, better get a passport.
It's even rough for the residents of the tiny village of Estcourt Station, Maine. The town sits at the northernmost point of the United States. You have to drive through Canada to enter the tiny hamlet.
Only five people live there and they have the worst luck of border residents. Their homes are directly on the border. Those who live in the United States must travel through Canada to get back to the town of Fort Kent, Maine. Those who want to get gas from the Gulf station in Estcourt Station and live in the city of Pohenegamook, Quebec have to drive nearly a mile to border patrol before going to the gas station to fill up. That's if they're open. If the U.S. Custom and Border Patrol station isn't open, you're out of luck. Because if you have a home in the Canada but have to get through your driveway in United States, you're pretty much trapped in your home.
If you live in New York, you have the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation. It is a Native American claim that cuts into both countries. Many residents can freely travel through the countries without being stopped. Although both government monitor the area, the area is independent governance.
If you live at the Northwest Angle in Minnesota, you have to travel through Manitoba to get to the area. You must contact the border patrol once you enter the Angle. If you fail to do so, within 30 minutes the border agents and the U.S. Coast Guard will appear and round you up.
If you live in Point Roberts, Washington, you have a rough way to the mainland. The city is part of the United States and it sits on the peninsula of British Columbia. You have only an elementary school in Point Roberts. Many residents who have children who are passed 5th grade have to go to either Canadian schools for education or take the hour ride from Surrey, British Columbia to Blaine, Washington for middle and high school education.
With the Republican Party fixated on building walls and having countries pay for it, I wonder if the Republicans are willing to pay the residents of the United State sand Canada to clear the way for that wall to the north.
The soon-to-be dictator wants to end trade agreements with countries that don't help America first.
But in the same breathe he wants the Keystone XL pipeline and Dakota Access Pipeline to carry forth. Those pipelines will cut through the United States from Canada.
The issues with legalization of marijuana is also divisive. Canada is going to legalize the weed nationwide. In the United States, a handful of states are legalizing the weed. The rest considers it a felony if you possess the weed.
Nonetheless, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with the guy in the coming month as a jester of goodwill. The two will have some tension on issues. His stance on refugees, the poor and the American-Canadian trade agreements are issues that the dictator may have to focus on.
Border security is truly a Republican issue. They want to ban Muslims from coming into the country.
They want to ship immigrants back to their nations (including Canada).
Did you know it's easier to get into Canada than it is the United States. The U.S. takes everything seriously and assured that you'll be banned from entry if you commit a felony in the country of your origin. Matter of fact, if you're an American cause an criminal incident in Canada, you could be banned from entry in the United States. You might have to face Canadian courts or detainment for an indefinite period.
Richmond area CVS called the law on two Black men.
Welcome to Donald Trump's America. He and Mike Pence are responsible for the actions of bigots, racists and millions of idiots in our country. Three men were embarrassed by the behavior of two nighttime clerks at a Richmond area CVS Store.
Rickey Berry and his roommate head to CVS for some sliced cheese. They ask the clerk if they had any Kraft cheese slices. The clerk would say no and walk away. Well for the next 10 minutes or so, they shop around the CVS. They gather their products and head to the register. They see another man in line waiting.
The man was in the line for at least 5 minutes wondering if they were the workers. Rickey told the man that they were shoppers too and the clerk was nearby.
Well another 10 minutes later, Rickey and the other men were starting to get concerned about the clerk.
So he whips out his phone and records the situation. Well a few minutes later a Richmond Metro Police officer shows up wondering if everything is okay. They ask the officer to help find the clerk.
They looked around the store in Richmond, Virginia for another 30 minutes before a cop showed up. The officer then joined in the search for the missing employees.
"He was laughing with us because, like, this is how weird, apocalyptic movies start," Berry told local TV station WRIC.
Eventually, the clerk and another employee were found in the back of the store hiding in a locked room. After making a few calls, the officer told the customers they had to leave.
In one of the videos he recorded, Berry said, "We're being kicked out because they were scared of us and hiding."
"He just told us that we need to leave premises or else we would be arrested for trespassing and that flipped the script on all of us," Berry told [WRIC] Reporter Jonathan Costen. "We had no idea what was going on."
Well the damage was done. The men were upset. If they decide to take action it certainly could lead to lawsuits and negative publicity.
The workers were placed in the freezer. The were warned to fly right or face cannon firing. They will be retrained on customer service.
Fusion picked up on the story and I found it interesting. I have co-workers who act like this. They got this "hunch" that some of the people coming into our business are "shady".
When I tuned into SiriusXM's The Groove, one familiar voice was often a fixture on the 24/7 classic R&B and Funk station. It was Colonel Abrams. Tonight we learned that he passed away at the age of 67.
We'll do a Late Thread in honor of Colonel Abrams.
SoulTracks.com says that it was nearly a year ago that they reported that Abrams was suffering badly from diabetes and was financially strapped by the illness.
The Detroit-born, Manhattan raised singer began playing both piano and guitar while still quite young. By the mid 1970s he became part of the band Heavy Impact. But it was nearly a decade later that Abrams really made a name for himself with the big hit “Music Is the Answer.” It began a string of dance hits that capitalized on the electronic sounds that were popular in the mid 80s, and included “The Truth,” “Over and Over,” “I’m Not Gonna Let You,” and his biggest song, the dancelicious international hit, “Trapped.”
Soul Tracks Also writes that Abrams continued to chart on the Dance and R&B charts into the mid-90s, and performed around the world into the new century. He also formed his own Colonel Records and released music sporadically through the early part of this decade.
Unfortunately and tragically, by December of 2015, Abrams was quite ill and homeless, and his friends began a crowdfunding campaign to help him pay for his medical treatments.
