Dave Chappelle's comedy tour comes to Dayton, Ohio. He lives in the area.
Comedian Dave Chappelle is making a comeback. He's getting back into the spirit of comedy by announcing a tour.
Chappelle has ties to Dayton, Ohio. He has a home and farm in the village of Yellow Springs.
Chappelle made a memorable appearance on SNL.
He reprised his roles from Comedy Central presents Chappelle's Show. The comedian was frustrated with the editing and wanted full control over the show. He would take a "leave of absence" during the filming of Season 2 and announced that the remaining episodes will be repackaged as the final season.
It's worth noting that if you heckle Chappelle, he will let you have it.
Don't fuck with Dave when he's performing. He regards his comedy as an art and if you interrupt his show, you're ruining it for him and those who paid to see him.
Well wishes to a great comedian. I hope he make a comeback to the television. Because the world needs some humor and Dave was the man.
The fuhrer's wife isn't happy being in the limelight.
Besides the negative job approval of her hubby, Donald J. Trump, the foreign born Melanija Knavs (known publicly as bimbo Melania Trump) is starting to hate being in the public eye.
The Slovenian model and current wife of the Fuhrer is "miserable" and feels "unhappy with how her life ended up."
Now I don't know if this is fake news or not, but US Weekly is covering it.
Fellow New Yorkers can't make it through the city knowing that the Trump family and Secret Service occupy the area. The Trump Tower (aka the second White House) is heavily guarded and the police are maintaining a strong presence around the area. Many Americans are losing out on getting around the area knowing that Trump being the country's leader requires a heavy load of police presence.
Melania and Barron are not rushing to the White House.
Trump is making sure her 10 year son will finish up school before they venture to Washington, DC.
According to US Weekly, Trump spent most of her time being shacked up in the lavish apartment.
Never a fixture on the NYC social scene, "she is staying hidden more." Compare that to Michelle Obama who was pretty open with the American people. Obama was very popular.
Conservatives hate her because she was a strong Black woman. They would make offensive caricatures of her. Obama was annoyed by some of the nasty things being said about her.
She once said that conservatives would paint her and Barack as things they weren't.
Obama's famous quote: "When they go low, we go high!"
The Trump team dismissed this as "fake news". They said that Melania is "very happy" with her life and supporting her husband and family are top priority.
On that note, many see Trump's first weeks as the leader dismal. Hopefully, we continue to see this trainwreck. Because giving the country this asshole was a huge mistake.
We're footing the bill. Our taxpayer dollars cover this asshole, his bimbo wife, his autistic son and the other nuts in the tree. His other sons and daughters are getting Secret Service detail.
So when Eric and Donald, Jr. go hunting, the Secret Service is there.
When Ivanka is doing her publicity tours, the Secret Service is there.
And when Tiffany continues college, the Secret Service will continue to be there.
St. Anthony's Police officer Geronimo Yanez faces trial in the murder of Philando Castile.
Geronimo Yanez was hoping to use every dirty tactic in the book to have a judge throw out his murder charge. The Minnesota cop who fatally killed Philando Castile is facing manslaughter, second degree murder and unbecoming of a peace officer charges.
He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Even with video evidence, the defense will argue that Philando's "history" with the law could be a signal that he was a potential threat to the officer.
A routine pullover turned fatal.
Philando was with his girlfriend Diamond Reynolds and her daughter when he pulled over for a faulty taillight. Of course, according to Diamond, he was shot by Yanez when he was reaching for his wallet. She said that Philando acknowledged he had a firearm and permit to use it.
Corrupt cop trying to get out of a murder charge.
Ramsey County judge William Leary III said that the trial is on.
The actions committed by Yanez were enough to qualify for a trial.
Again, I won't hold my breath. I believe that Yanez will walk because the junk food media will persuade public opinion.
The White extremists will automatically fault Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama and Black leaders for the outcome regardless.
And it's a damn shame that if a man of color who was legally obligated to carry a firearm is still a threat to a trigger happy cop.
That wide set nose pretty much is a dead giveaway for most Black criminals according to Yanez and many other corrupt cops.
Two dirty old pervs succeeded in making Fox News a money maker. Now they may have to face a new challenge in a courtroom.
No this isn't fake news!
When Roger Ailes was fired out the cannon for numerous accusations of sexual harassment against female employees at Fox News, the nation and the junk food media was shocked.
Now it seems like Ailes isn't gong to fade in disgrace just yet. He may have to appear in a federal court to answer questions to why he allowed this to happen.
Ailes will likely face criminal charges if any of the victims pursue them. The New York Daily News reports that a former Fox News host is pursuing criminal charges against Ailes and others.
Andrea Tantaros who is one of the numerous women is not letting this go under the radar.
She wants to see Ailes, Brian Kilmeade, John Roberts, Steve Doocy, Neil Cavuto, Eric Bolling and Tucker Carlson go down in flames.
Her attorney Judd Burstein said that this news is a bit of surprise to him.
"I was told by the U.S. Attorney's office there is an ongoing criminal investigation, relating to these allegations, all of these allegations," he said.
Ailes continues to deny any wrongdoing and believes that this is a "shakedown".
21st Century Fox co-CEOS James and Lachlan got word of Ailes misdeeds through Gabriel Sherman's explosive piece about the reclusive and vindictive media mogul.
Their dad Rupert allowed Ailes to run the business without overhead. While under Ailes control, many anchors feared that he could be bugging the offices. He would force mandatory stories to make Republicans look good. They were told to demonize Barack Obama. And of course women were told to wear something nice when they're on camera.
Tantaros said that the network is a " sex-fueled, Playboy mansion, fueled cult."
Gretchen Carlson settled with the network for over $20 million.
Megyn Kelly left the network in January to join NBC News.
Greta Van Susteren joins MSNBC in January after abruptly leaving Fox News in late September.
Could you imagine a fast food mogul was going to be the pick for Labor Secretary?
The first nominee who couldn't clear the hurdles is the guy who created the idea of making food more appealing by having scantly clad women eating a huge hamburger.
Former CEO of Carls, Jr./Hardee's Andy Puzder withdraws his bid to become the Department of Labor secretary. Seven Republicans had voiced concern that Puzder's support for immigration and sexual harassment claims would make him a toxic cabinet member.
Mind you that he also has issues that came back to haunt him. His ex-wife talked to Oprah in the 1990s. Puzder's ex said he was physically abuse and that he "vowed revenge" toward her for speaking out.
When he took control of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's he turned the company around. He made the fast food giant successful by getting women to model in skimpy wear while chowing down seductively on hamburgers.
He was a fierce opponent against the rising of the minimum wage. He wouldn't even support the $15 labor movement.
The companies went though federal employment discrimination lawsuits. It probably had more than most companies in the fast food industry.
He said that machines could make food faster than a human.
No Democrats supported him. That included the independents Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Angus King (I-ME). Even that asshole Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) refused a vote.
It took seven Republican senators to publicly speak out against this pick.
In gratitude, Puzder said a heartfelt thank you to the fuhrer.
"I want to thank President Trump for his nomination. I also want to thank my family, and my many supporters --- employees, businesses, friends and people who have voiced their praise and hopeful optimism for the policies and new thinking I would have brought to America as Secretary of Labor."
So another scandal for the Trumpster.
Wonder who's going to fill the void of being the labor secretary?
Arnold Schwarzenegger says that Trump and Congress are pathetic. He believes Congress is more worse than herpes.
The Trumpster fire and Congress are really unpopular. The Republican controlled Congress has already on the wrong path. It's caught the attention of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California and current host of Celebrity Apprentice.
Schwarzenegger is an Austrian-born actor, bodybuilder, media mogul and reality television host,
He is not a fan of fuhrer Donald J. Trump. He hates him with such a passion. Trump is no fan of the famed actor. At the National Prayer's Breakfast, Trump took aim at the dismal ratings of the NBC show.
Schwarzenegger bucked Trump for spending his time bitching about television instead of doing his job leading the United States.
And of course, he saved the best for Congress.
"Gerrymandering has created an absurd reality where politicians now pick their voter,s instead of the voters picking their politicians.You thought every two years in November, you're going to the polls to pick your representatives, right?" said Schwarzenegger.
He added, "Wrong! Using gerrymandering, our politicians drew their district lines so approval ratings went sometimes down into the single digits, they couldn't lose."
He said that Congress couldn't beat an incurable disease.
"These lawmakers couldn't beat herpes in the polls!"
He's right. When we continue to elect worthless politicians expect this. I bet some of the readers wouldn't even know who their representatives are!
Matter of fact, The Terminator himself said that Canadian pop group Nickelback and Fox News are just as bad as Congress.
I am sure that Sean "Softball" Hannity will attack Schwarzenegger for speaking out against Trump.
Sean Hannity is the official softball of the Fuhrer Donald J. Trump. He is so lumpy, a Republican can whack him with a bat. He's often giving lap dances to Republicans.
He's certainly tossing Donald J. Trump's salad.
For the entirety of Barack Obama's eight years, the softball has bemoaned, besmirched, attacked and slandered him.
The softball has called Obama the "anointed one", the "crybaby and chief," and pathological liar. He has attack Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, and the Obama children. He claims that he never disrespected the office of the president.
He's been on this ridiculous rant about how Obama is working behind the scenes to destroy Trump's legacy. He still rehashing the Saul Alinsky talking point. He still rehashing Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers.
Sean "Softball" Hannity tosses the fuhrer's salad.
Softball Hannity constantly complained about how Obama blaming Bush for his own failures.
Now that Trump's in office and three weeks in a major scandal with Michael Flynn. Guess what!
The most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media is once again defending Trump scandals by going to his usual tactics: Blame Obama and the Left.
The agitator and many on the alt-right cite fake news once again for the turmoils plaguing the White House. He claims that people inside the White House are secretly leaking information to the junk food media in retaliation to Trump's victory. He said that staffers who worked for Obama are behind the leaks. There's no proof of this but since it's fake news and has Obama mentioned on his program, his gullible audience will believe it.
He believes that Organizing for America is paying protesters to heckle Republican lawmakers.
The Republicans believe that the protesters are paid agitators.
A group protesters came to the Louisville home of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY, Majority Leader).
They read the quotes of Coretta Scott King in defense of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). Warren was silenced by Republicans after she read quotes denouncing Jeff Sessions, the designate for Attorney General.
Sessions, formerly an Alabama senator was confirmed for the job. Sessions is a squinty eyed bigot.
Mike Flynn becomes the first Trump Administration figure to resign from his position as the National Security Advisor. Flynn facing scandal over his ties to a Russian diplomat who wanted Trump and his allies to maneuver sanctions imposed by then president Barack Obama.
In the course of my duties as the incoming National Security Adviser, I held numerous phone calls with foreign counterparts, ministers, and ambassadors. These calls were to facilitate a smooth transition and begin to build the necessary relationships between the president, his advisors, and foreign leaders. Such calls are standard practice in any transition of this magnitude. Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the vice president and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. I have sincerely apologized to the president and the vice president and they accepted my apology. Throughout my over thirty three years of honorable military service, and my tenure as the National Security Advisor, I have always performed my duties with the utmost of integrity and honesty to those I have served, to include the President of the United States. I am tendering my resignation, honored to have served our nation and the American people in such as distinguished way. I am also extremely honored to have served President Trump, who in just three weeks, has reoriented American foreign policy in fundamental ways to restore America's leadership position in the world. As I step away once again from serving my nation in this current capacity, I wish to thank President Trump for his personal loyalty, the friendship of those who I worked with throughout the hard fought campaign, the challenging period of transition, and during the early days of his presidency. I know with the strong leadership of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence and the superb team they are assembling, this team will go down in history as one of the greatest presidencies in U.S. history, and I firmly believe the American people will be well served as they all work together to help Make America Great Again. Michael T. Flynn, LTG (Ret.) Assistant to the President/National Security Advisor
He lied to vice fuhrer Mike Pence and top officials.
Flynn who served on the National Security team for less than a month said that he given "incomplete information" regarded a telephone call he had in December before fuhrer Donald J. Trump's inauguration. Flynn at first denied having talks with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States.
The U.S. Department of Justice alerted Trump and his crew about the possibility of the Russians getting into the bubble. Trump finally acknowledged that he was aware of the situation 11 days after being warned about the Flynn scandal.
Flynn, a former lieutenant to the Army intelligence services was fired out the cannon in 2014 after fellow officials in the Obama administration said he's a stark crazy lunatic.
Since Trump announced his run for the leadership, Flynn was by his side. Flynn along with many other top officials helped Trump draft the executive order banning travelers and immigrants from seven nations with Muslim majorities. The federal court put a halt to the executive order and Trump is rethinking on a "legal" way of pushing his ban forward.
Democrats are calling for investigations.
They said that for all the investigations of Hillary Clinton's email server, the Republicans won't even find interest in this huge scandal.
But the pressure is on and many Republicans are starting to sweat. Given that the Trump administration is so weak on national security, I was wondering if the Republicans would finally start putting their mouths where the problem is.
The Grammys were political. Many mainstream acts made the internet go wild by their political stances. Some were pro-Trump, some were anti-Trump. As you know, I strongly oppose this guy.
I want nothing but failure for Donald J. Trump. I want him and the country to fail. Because if we keep allowing the powers of hate to win
The rap group A Tribe Called Quest shocked the world and the internet. During their performance at the Grammy Awards, veteran rapper Busta Rhymes came on stage and ripped the fuhrer.
Busta Rhymes called Donald J. Trump, "President Agent Orange" and knocked him for the Muslim ban.
Ivanka Trump and her father, the fuhrer saw their brands literally lifted off the shelves.
It was first Macy's which pulled his official brands. Then came Nordstrom, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Sears, and Kmart. These are mainstream retailers no longer invested in the Trump name.
Donald J. Trump, the current leader of the United States is once again facing another controversy.
The news got attention. Matter of fact, it's ignoring the fact that Sears Holdings (the Kmart and Sears empire) is crumbling before our eyes. It's going to be likely we're going to see the end in 2017.
Trump never shy of an opinion, hopped on his social media to rant about how these terrible companies are disrespecting him.
He's complaining about the mainstream retailers dropping his brands. He is not happy they're taking their frustrations on poor little Ivanka.
Ivanka's professional brands took a nosedive after the election and the companies found no other choice than to drop the retailer.
Political advisor Kellyanne Conway found herself in hot water after she appeared on Fox News to give a shout out to the brand. It was a clear ethics violation and it drew criticism from kookspiracy chaser Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT).
Like every time the Grammy's come on, someone who made an impact in the music industry passed away. I mean we are reminded about the tragic death of Whitney Houston. She died on February 11, 2012. Now one of the greatest jazz musicians in the world passed away.
Al Jarreau, the voice behind several hits and the winner of seven Grammy Awards passed away early Sunday morning at the age of 76.
On his official website, the news was confirmed. He died in Los Angeles. He was hospitalized for exhaustion and it forced him off his tour. He would cancel his tour dates and semi-retire from touring.
He death was preceded with family and friends present.
He was a product of Milwaukee. He sang for fun growing up and didn't pursue a music career. He decided to jump into show business when he graduated from college.
Before his death, he apologized to his fans.
"With complete sorrow, Al Jarreau must retire from touring. He is thankful for his 50 years traveling the world in ministry through music --- and for everyone who shared this with him --- his faithful audience, the dedicated musicians and so many other who have supported his effort."
He is survived by his wife Susan and their son, Ryan.
Our late thread is dedicated to Al Jarreau and we mourn his loss.
