James Comey refused to pursue allegations of Russian meddling in election.
The government agency overseeing the U.S. Justice Department is looking into the actions of James Comey, the FBI director. The Inspector General is concerned that Comey's last minute decision to look into perennial failure Hillary Clinton's emails doomed her in the final weeks of the presidential election.
The decision to reopen the case became the talk of the nation and also led to fuhrer Donald J. Trump winning the election.
Of course, he refused to go after Trump's connections to Russia. He basically blew all that off for some goddamn emails.
Michael Horowitz will not look into the decision not to prosecute Clinton and her aides. Instead he will review the actions of Comey took that Clinton and many of her supporters believe cost her the election.
The news presser in July which he called the actions of Clinton, "extremely careless". The latter to Congressional Republicans in October. Then the decision to close the investigation in November.
Democrats are seething with anger over this. Comey was also briefed on the Russian hacks and chose not to pursue the allegations of them meddling in the election.
Trump during his campaign wanted Comey fired out the cannon for not pursuing charges against Clinton. Trump said that the system was "rigged" and the FBI was politicized by him. He said if he won, he would continue dogging Clinton. So far, that's not going to happen. Even the Benghazi Committee finally closed.
Now that he will be the fuhrer, he might keep Comey on to do political witch hunts against the Democrats, Rosie O'Donnell, Meryl Streep, Megyn Kelly, CNN, the women who accused him of inappropriate behavior, his ex-wives, and his likely mistresses.
Clinton and former president Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter without Roselyn and the Obamas will be there to see their mortal enemy sworn in.
Vice fuhrer Mike Pence will be sworn in by Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Trump will be sworn by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Unrepentant motorist gets LIFE for her callous attack on innocent parade watchers.
Adacia Chambers, the woman who ran her vehicle through a crowd of people in Stillwater, Oklahoma found justice. She was given a LIFE sentence in the iron college after the jury convicted her of murdering four people on her mission.
According to the law, she was under the influence when she decided to plow through the homecoming parade for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Chambers was sentenced after pleading no contest to four counts of second-degree murder and 39 counts of assault and battery.
She was fired out the cannon at Freddy's Custard and Steakburgers for being on drugs. She got angry and decided to end her life by taking out others.
Nash Lucas, a toddler, Nakita Prabhakar, a 23 year old MBA student at Oklahoma State and a married couple Bonnie and Marvin Stone, both 65 lost their lives to this unrepentant terrorist.
Her defense for this act of terrorism was mental issues. The jury said she showed intent.
Prosecutors says Chambers steered her car around a police barricade and sped up before plowing into spectators.
Chambers will now have a chance to appeal the decision. Unfortunately, the LIFE sentence does carry a chance a parole. After serving at least 30 years in the iron college, she may have an out.
First time ever, a Black women will appear on a coin.
The U.S. Mint rolls out a new coin. The new $1.00 coin for the first time will feature a Black woman.
The mint will celebrate 225 years by minting this county with Lady Liberty depicted as a Black woman. The 24k gold coin will be the first of a series of coins that will also carry depictions of Asian-American, Hispanic-American, and Indian-American women, says the U.S. Mint.
The last gold coin was Sacagawea, the Native American woman who helped Meriwether Lewis and William Clark through the rugged United States. The last dollar coin was Susan B. Anthony, an American activist who fought for voting rights for women.
Then of course, our past presidents were on the dollar coins as well. The current living presidents and soon to be fuhrer won't be added on coins until death.
The Democratic Party can't win the battle against stupidity. Republicans vow to repeal Obamacare despite the possibility of causing a backlash against those who enrolled and the agencies that need it. Minority Leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) do their presser blasting Republicans.
Stupidity continues to plague the American government. Republicans passed a budget resolution early morning sealing their pledge to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act.
So if you have pre-existing conditions, be prepared to pay out of pocket because the morons in Washington allowed their egos drive their votes. And they dismissed the anger from constituents as "scare tactics".
51 to 48 members of the Senate gave way to Republicans taking away 20 to 30 million enrolled Americans from having health insurance. Whereas lawmakers can get healthcare for their families, you won't get affordable health coverage for your family.
Now eight years later, Republicans are making good on their promise to "repeal and replace" the law.
It comes as no surprise that the fuhrer has nothing to worry about. He's got the best doctors to take care of him and his family. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) can literally have health care at the drop of a dime. The Republicans are allowing their egos get in the way of making good on helping the American people.
Two cocks in a barrel of monkeys.
Regardless of the scare tactics, Democrats seething from their defeat are promising "no compromise" with the fuhrer. The spineless Democrats (yeah, Heidi Heitkamp, Joe Manchin, Jon Tester, Bob Casey, and Bob Menendez) will stand in the way of getting things done. They want to protect their healthcare and their jobs. They can't even take a bullet for the team. I mean what worthless bunch of lawmakers we elect.
I guess the concern will be now getting rid of liability coverage for drivers of motorized vehicles.
If they repeal the healthcare law, maybe we should strip out liability insurance. After all most states require you to have liability insurance when you operate a vehicle.
The fuhrer wants Republicans to get something out the gate quickly, because they can't pass this law without having a backup. Because if they repeal a law without making any replacement, it's going to be a complicated mess created by ___________!
They'll began blaming President Barack Obama for their decision to repeal the healthcare law.
The Republican Party shut down the government and caused such uproars while in power and now they're rewarded for it.
He doesn't care anymore. He made a point. He wanted to get the ball rolling for the impending racial war. Dylann Roof is the poster child of the junk food media's rationalization of white extremism.
He is a fixture of the so-called alt-right. He is a conservative. He's a member of the Republican Party and a proud supporter of his fuhrer Donald J. Trump. I normally blame the shooter for mass shootings. But since the trolls want to blame Black Lives Matter for the kidnapping of a special needs man by four horrible Black terrorists, we will blame conservatives for this.
The blood of this murderous scum lies on the feet of Fuhrer Donald J, Trump, vice fuhrer Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, Trey Gowdy, Mark Sanford, and Joe Wilson.
Roof was given the DEATH CARD after hours of deliberation in the sentence phase.
This white extremist went into Charleson's Mother Emmanuel AME Church in 2015 and massacred nine churchgoers before taking off. He was caught in North Carolina.
He killed Rev. Clementa Pinckney, a state lawmaker, Susie Jackson, Rev. Daniel Simmons, Ethel Lance, Cynthia Hurd, Tywanza Sanders, Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, and Myra Thompson.
The white extremist showed no ounce of remorse for his actions.
He took the words of conservative agitators and white extremists. He believed in his mind that Black men were raping White people and taking advantage of the system. He felt that Blacks were making Whites less superior.
Juliet Huddy was one of the women caught in the "No Spin Zone" with Bill O'Reilly. She settled with Fox News over allegations the number one cable news agitator sexually harassed her.
The number one face in cable news is creepy old racist pervert.
Looks like Bill O'Reilly had another "fucking thing sucks" moment. The folks over at Fox News were accused of hiding a sexual harassment scandal that didn't even involved Roger Ailes. It was Bill O'Reilly, himself and he was sexaully harrassing former Fox News and Fox New York anchor Juliet Huddy.
Huddy reached a settlement with the network executives and it was swept under the rug.
Jack McCarthy, the current co-CEO of Fox News was also an alleged player in this. He was accused by Huddy of sexaully harassing her when she became the anchor of Fox NY.
Huddy who is the goddaughter of Ailes was hired at Fox in the 2000s.
In 2011, Huddy was a commentator on The O'Reilly doing "I'm Mad As Hell" segment.
During the break-time, O'Reilly would try to pursue a relationship with Huddy who was single at the time.
The ego has landed.
"When she rebuffed his advances, he tried to derail her career," the letter said. "He invited her to his house on Long Island, tried to kiss her, took her to dinner and the theater, and after asking her to return a key to his hotel room, appeared at the door in his boxer shorts."
McCarthy on the other hand wanted to give Huddy a back massage and tried to grope her. He was also trying to have a relationship with her. When she rejected his advances, he tried to retaliated against her.
She was offered a "high six figures" sum to keep out of the limelight during the Ailes affair.
21st Century Fox and O'Reilly's lawyer denied the accusations.
Gabriel Sherman, the writer for New York Magazine and MSNBC said that Fox News secretly paid out four women since Ailes left.
Wondering who's who may have taken a buyout. Was the Marina Vladimirovna Orlova? Was it Tonya Reiman? Was it Rudi Bakhtiar? Was it Anna Kooiman?
President Barack Obama delivers his final primetime speech to the nation.
I'm going to miss Barack Obama as our president.
In Chicago, he delivers his final address to the nation before he prepares for the transition of power.
He will hand over the power to a controversial reality television star who happens to be a billionaire.
A man who is an avowed racist, sexist, xenophobic, and narcissist. An immature 70 year old man who happens to be named Donald J. Trump. He will be your next fuhrer of the United States,
The pussy grabbing begins on January 20th. The Obamas, the Clintons, Jimmy Carter and Mitt Romney will be there for the inauguration.
Sen. Cory Booker and many others oppose Jeff Session as the Attorney General.
Today is the confirmation hearings of the Attorney General. A controversial senator from the state of Alabama is the pick for the position. But his neo-Confederate ties, his past statements and his reaction towards the current issues in a post-Obama America are under fire.
Democrats are determined to fight against Republicans. They may lose this fight after the 113th Session pulled the "nuclear option" when it came to confirmation hearings. The 115th Session will quickly confirm nominees in this Republican controlled senate. They will now have the power to play moves they've longed complained the Democrats done during the eight years of Barack Obama's term.
New Jersey Democratic senator Cory Booker will testify against Alabama Republican senator Jeff Sessions in an attempt to block his nomination as the Attorney General of the United States.
Republicans faced criticism after they said they'll swiftly confirm fuhrer Donald J. Trump's picks for his cabinet and the federal courts.
At the Judiciary Committee, Booker will say that Session's record on civil rights and immigration will not live up to the principles of his predecessors.
The NAACP, the ACLU, many LGBT groups and immigration rights groups are opposing the nomination.
"I'm breaking a pretty long Senate tradition," said Booker when he was on All In with Chris Hayes.
"We've seen Jeff Sessions that's Senator Jeff Sessions --- consistently voting against or speaking out against key ideals of the Voting Rights Act, taking measures to try to block criminal justice reform."
Session was called "a threat to desegregation and the Voting Rights Act" by the NAACP.
The fuhrer and the squinty eyed bigot who he wants as the Attorney General.
So far Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) are strongly opposed to the nomination and will vote against him. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) signaled the same.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) are cautious about Sessions as well. Scott as the only Black senator who votes as a rank-and-file Republican had said that Sessions will get his vote after a "special emphasis". He is going to remind Sessions that his vote will be cast on the answers that are relevant to the current environment.
Given the time of racial and societal unrest, Scott did voice a bit of concern about the nominees.
Republicans demonized Eric Holder and his successor Loretta Lynch. Holder and Lynch are African American and they were attacked on their credentials and race by many agitators. Sessions was one of those agitators.
Fuhrer Trump, vice fuhrer Mike Pence and the beady eyed squinty bigot Jeff Sessions are a match made in Hell.
10 day vacation for corrupt Fort Worth cop who busted mom after she told him a stranger assaulted her boy.
We know the name of the cop who arrested Jacqueline Craig in December. His name is William Martin and the Fort Worth Police placed him in the freezer pending an internal investigation.
Martin arrested Craig after a brief argument that turned ugly and it was filmed and shared on Facebook over 3 million times.
He's "snarky" comment on parenting got him in some deep shit. He was on camera saying to Craig that she should be a better parent. Craig called the law on an accusation of a man placing his hands on the neck of her 7 year old son.
Martin who was called to the area didn't pursue charges against the man. He instead arrested Craig and the 15 and 18 year olds who were in the vicinity.
Immediately after the incident, the officer was placed on "restrictive duty status by order of the Chief of the Police" pending an outcome from Internal Affairs.
Martin would apologize for the incident. Martin is a 10 year veteran with the department.
Craig's attorney said that the punishment was not harsh enough.
"You would get more justice if someone kicked a dog," said Jasmine Crockett, Craig's attorney.
Craig was tearful when the news of the punishment came.
His superiors and the police union disagreed with the freezer burn. They believed that the chief's demand to place the officer in the freezer was too harsh. They wanted the chief to be more lenient.
Joel Fitzgerald, the chief of Fort Worth Police said that Martin violated some its rules. He cited that Martin had a neglect of duty and discourtesy, noting that there was "some inappropriate contact with two of the females." Other findings include excessive force, failing to thoroughly investigate and conduct prejudicial to good order.
Fitzgerald said that the arrest was legal and the grand jury will decide whether he continues to be on the force or be loaded into the cannon and be fired out of it.
Young woman from Illinois went to Dairy Queen to get a dinner and left with a racial slur. Deianira Ford gets more than terrible food service. She was called a racial slur in front of her children.
In fuhrer Donald J. Trump's America, a franchise owner of a popular fast food restaurant got the audacity to call a customer a NIGGER because she was wanted to return an order that was wrong.
Jim Crichton. Expect death threats. Expect these death threats because you allowed your word vomit to get in the way of serving the customer. You have the nerve to call a Black woman a NIGGER because your workers fucked up an order. The customer has a right to respond to an order.
Deianeira Ford gets the last laugh in this transgression. Unfortunately she will not win the war given that fuhrer Trump continue to press for the elimination of political correctness.
In Zion, Illinois, Ford was with her children and she wanted to get a DQ meal with a Blizzard and couple of ice cream cones. She didn't think that the service was going to be that bad.
The Zion location is closed indefinitely.
Crichton, the owner of Dairy Queen approached her and started popping off at the mouth. She said that he was degrading her in front of her children.
"I was kind of taken back, and my daughter in the backseat repeated what he said and asked me what that means," Ford said.
Ford said she was so upset she called the law on him. The police report says that Crichton called her a NIGGER repeatedly in a dispute over the partially-filled food order that he handled. When Ford asked for a full refund, police said, "Crichton refused, gave her $5 back and called her and her children NIGGERS adding that "they did not deserve anything more."
The owner boasted that he was proud to say NIGGER to the woman and said that was "fed up with Black people."
When she posted her experience on social media, the backlash. The backlash came swiftly.
Crichton issued an apology saying that, "What I said was not appropriate and is something I cannot take back. I have no excuse. I can only ask for forgiveness and try to make it up to all involved. As a start, I, along with my employees, will undergo sensitivity training."
It was a little too late. Dairy Queen's corporate office in Minneapolis said, "Time's up. You done."
So Dairy Queen's internal investigation found that his behavior was unbecoming of the company.
They decided to end their franchise deal with Crichton. Basically firing him and his employees out the cannon.
Ford retained a lawyer and is considering legal actions against the owner. She had gotten support from organizations across the country and the Chicago Black Lives Matter group is getting involved in the matter. They are planning protests at the Zion location despite it being closed.
The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority covers the Dayton, Ohio and Montgomery County with a portion of the bus lines going into Greene County. It has 29 routes and also a mobility line for seniors and special need riders. The RTA also has overhead trolleys. The trolleybuses cover a portion of the city and inner suburbs.
Dayton is the smallest city in the United States to still have overhead electric trolleys. Other cities include Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Boston. These cities have populations with over 500,000 residents.
In a city with 139,000 residents, the RTA is necessary for the 30,000 riders who use the public transit.
The RTA is facing a crisis within its ranks. The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1385 is getting tired of dealing with the leadership's ineptness. Mark Doughney, the president of the RTA is facing calls for resignation after many drivers complained that the new rules imposed on drivers limit their break periods, their restroom breaks and time off.
Many of the drivers voiced frustration with the way RTA is working them. They now operate from 4:15 am on opening routes to nearly 2:30 am.
Now at the stroke of midnight, the city bus drivers will end their routes and walk off the job.
Dayton's mayor Nan Whaley and city's commissioners are pleading for RTA and the union to work out the differences for the sake of the community.
A strike could make life difficult for riders who need to get to work, school, or shopping districts.
A strike could cost RTA millions of dollars.
A strike could spell doom for union workers because if Republicans pass a NO STRIKE CLAUSE state law when it comes to public sector work, the RTA drivers could be fired out the cannon.
Ohio is a "right to work" state. The worker's unions across the country are being weakened by Republicans. They feel confident that they could destroy the unions and make employers hire people at lower wages and longer hours.
Ohio governor John Kasich and the federal government might get involved in this situation.
Some unfortunate facts about the RTA.
Many of the residents in this community support the fuhrer Donald J. Trump. So it won't be any surprise that some online white extremists are seething with glee watching others suffer. Most of the people who comment about the RTA often push racial stereotypes about the riders and the bus lines.
Many of them are assuming that many of the bus riders are geekers and druggies. Some openly call the workers, the riders and the people who support the RTA a bunch of NIGGERS or NIGGER-LOVERS. Some even resort to the childish name calling supporters LIBTARDS.
The junk food media here often sensationalize stories for ratings. I don't watch the news anymore because they allow Trump to win.
Beavercreek, Ohio a city that is located six miles from Dayton was a vocal opposition to the RTA and Greene County Area Transit Service having routes serve the Mall at Fairfield Commons.
The U.S. Department of Justice and Transportation warned Beavercreek that if they continue to deny bus service to the community they could lose funding for the city. Once the fuhrer Trump takes over, Beavercreek city leaders could ask for Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) to ask the DOJ to relinquish their recommendations. And Beavercreek could reinstate their public transportation ban.
RTA has wasted money big time on hydro-buses that hardly run, trolleybuses that don't often run and passing the expense onto the riders. I live in the rust belt city of Dayton. The city has trolley lines that are hardly used. I mean there is probably 100 miles of trolley line in the city and only 45 miles of the lines are used. The city fare is $1.75 for an adult. You can get a transfer for $.25 and it's good for a connecting trip for up to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
It's one of the highest fares in the state.
Compare that to larger Columbus with 80 routes and Cincinnati with 50 routes. You are paying up to $35 a week on public transit. The average bus pass for a month is $95.
Dayton has only 29 routes.
Routes 3,4,5,7 and 8 are the bus lines that have trolleybus service. Route 1 and 2 have trolleybus service on limited service.
Since 2013, RTA returned bus service to the Dayton International Airport. For 15 years the bus never went to the airport. You had to have take a bus near the area and walk to the local shuttle buses that serve the airport when air travelers had to leave their vehicle overnight.
Route 1 and 16 are the only buses that serves Greene County. The bus has 90 minute commuters to Wright State University and the Mall at Fairfield Commons. In 2016, Route 16 was realigned to serve Costco Wholesale, Kroger Marketplace and Miami Valley Hospital South Campus.
The U.S. Department of Defense and the RTA worked out an agreement to have special buses serve the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Montgomery and Greene County. The buses operate two times a day.
The RTA doesn't connect to Miami County, Warren County, Butler County, the remaining portions of Greene County and Clarke County.
The Southern Ohio Regional Transit Authority (Cincy Metro), Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) and Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) have buses that serve multiple counties, many business venues, their local airports and local attractions.
Dayton RTA has five transit stations. One that is located at the Westown shopping center. One that is located at the Eastown shopping center. One that is located in Trotwood which also serves at the Dayton Greyhound transit terminal. One located one mile from the Dayton mall. The final one is the downtown transit station which is located near the RTA headquarters.
The Dayton Mall has been under fire for banning the buses from the property. The only buses that serve the mall are routes that have very few riders. Route 23, 60 and 61 are crosstown buses that avoid downtown Dayton. The buses operate on a limited schedule and often are completed by 10pm.
Many of the county buses and crosstown Route 24 avoid the mall. They head to the transit hub or have a local stop about 1/2 mile from the mall.
Ohio State Route 741 known as Springboro Pike was reworked to have sidewalks. The speed limit was previously 45 mph. Now it's localized to 40 mph. They moved the pedestrian crosswalks to an area that is 1/2 mile from Ohio State Route 725. The Miami Township Police maintain a heavy presence around the mall. The Ohio State Patrol maintains traffic control on most roads around the mall.
Lyons Road where the South Transit Center is located is 1 mile from the Dayton Mall. The road has sidewalks and a bicycle lane. The speed limit around the area is 45 mph and the nearest light with a crosswalk is 1/4 mile from the transit center.
Dayton is still one of the most segregated cities in the United States.
