I didn't watch the fuhrer's speech. I refuse to normalize Donald J. Trump. But the American people believe that his Joint Session of Congress was "positive". Tell me how many people were watching Trump speak?
Cause I certainly am one of the many who would love to see Trump fail. I want him to continue embarrass our country.
But I will acknowledge that he called for unity among Americans. Yeah, right!
The fuhrer pressed for a reset. He had rough first month and it's expected to get worse.
"I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength, and it is a message deeply delivered from my heart," said Trump. He declared he will light "the torch, light and justice ... is now in our hands. And we will use it to light up the world."
Trump wanted to presidential. He had his opportunity to address the nation about his proposals, his determination to nominate Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court and his job proposals.
I don't care what he said. I am not going to support it regardless.
Former governor of Kentucky, Steve Beshear gives the Democratic Response.
The Democrats are too weak by the way. They have no backbone and all their symbolic themes and pouting is not going to move people into their direction. The Democrats need to hold themselves, the Republicans and Trump accountable.
Trump needs people to support his policies. He address the nation.
Donald J. Trump delivers his speech to Joint Session of Congress. It's sort of like a State of the Union address. And the president (I meant fuhrer) will speak on issues that he urges Americans to get behind.
The speech is going to be controversial regardless of what he says. He will bring up issues like repealing the Affordable Care Act, increase military spending, reshaping tax reform, rollback current trade deals, rollback immigration reform, and take away portions of the safety net.
At this Joint Session of Congress will be the family members killed by illegal immigrants.
I am not watching it. I don't give two fucks about him, Mike Pence and the Republicans.
Democrats may boycott the event. Some hopefully will do a "Joe Wilson" and shout "you lie" during his speech.
Watch this live on the YouTube.
I will post the Democratic response as soon as the fuhrer is done. Again, I won't watch or listen to it. I expect it to last about 45 minutes or less. He has a low attention span and he doesn't like talking too much about things.
Social media tore into White House political adviser Kellyanne Conway for kneeling on the Oval Office couch to snap a photo of the fuhrer with leaders of the nation's historically Black colleges and universities.
This is comes as no surprise. Kellyanne Conway is facing harsh criticism for just being utterly stupid.
She was the one who invoked the tragic "Bowling Green massacre" that happened under then Barack Obama's watch. Well that didn't happen and she was roundly ridiculed for it.
Then on Fox News she made a plug to Ivanka Trump's clothing company. It got her in trouble with the White House inspector general. She also got banned from some Sunday shows because she's too controversial.
Conservatives were outraged over the fact that President Barack Obama put his feet on a desk in the Oval Office. They were bitching and complaining. They believe that Obama had no respect for the office and believed that he was truly un-American.
Now that a Republican is in the White House, happy days are here again!
Conservatives can now have the power to undo the "damage" Obama's done in eight years with their leader Fuhrer Donald J. Trump.
But as you see, it's not as easy as expected.
Trump is still finding it hard to get things done when he can't have Congress onboard.
Teen's attempt to see his girlfriend ended in his death.
In the open carry state of Georgia, Jordan Middleton lost his life to the "castle doctrine". He wanted to be a Romeo by climbing into his Juliet's home in Grovetown. The 14-year old girl lets him into the home and he gets caught between the door frame. It alerts a dog and then the homeowner.
The homeowner then is alerted to the noise. He grabs his firearm and dog to search for the intruder.
The girl has the boy hiding in a closet. As the dog barks at the location where Middleton is, the homeowner gave him two verbal commands to show himself or face a lead sandwich.
Middleton failed to do so. So as he would try to escape he bolted out the door, and the homeowner puts a bullet in him. It hit him in the chest. He would die near the door. The deputies would arrive to find the teen's body and placed the homeowner in the cruiser.
Derrick Fulton said that he didn't know that it was his daughter's friend. He was very saddened by this.
Fulton is facing a questioning but is likely to escape aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The young teen was a standout basketball player. He attended Grovetown High School.
Many of his friends said that he had an infectious smile.
Tom Perez became the Democratic National Committee chairman. He quickly appointed Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota as the deputy chairman.
On Saturday, former Labor secretary Tom Perez eked out a win against Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). Ellison for Democratic National Committee chairman.
Perez. the first Latino chairman of the Democratic Party urges for party unity and vows to push for a strong progressive agenda.
Ellison an African American lawmaker who is a Sunni Muslim warned Democrats to tap into the populism that gave Republicans the victory or continue to lose.
Perez heeded the call and asked for Ellison to become his vice-chair. He calls upon Ellison, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and others to help win back the middle class, people of color, the millennials and the women.
The Democrats are still reeling over the epic loss to the controversial Donald J. Trump. He and the Republicans swept fiercely into power and are trying to undo President Barack Obama's legacy.
Now as the fuhrer of the country, Trump is finding it harder to accomplish the goals he promised on the campaign trail. Although, he will continue to push his proposals to Congress, the lawmakers will continue to keep Washington stuck in gridlock.
Republicans are warning Democrats to get in line or face the consequences. Democrats balked at them and told them, "fuck off".
The Democratic National Committee is still facing a scandal within its ranks.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) was ousted after Wikileaks published emails between her and top Democrats disparaging Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). They also wanted a limited amount of debates to ease the path for Hillary Clinton.
The Democrats were splinted when the so-called Bernie Bros. decided to gamble on Green Party Jill Stein and Trump.
The electoral college helped Trump. He failed at winning the popular vote. So he's finding it difficult to deal with constituents given that Clinton won the popular vote instead of him.
Trump's stump through the Midwest and Florida crumbled the Blue Wall that Obama placed upon his two successful elections. Clinton let Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and New Hampshire go Republican by being overly confident. Other issues that came forth includes Russia meddling in the election,and the onslaught of Republican accusations against her and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA).
Now in private life, Clinton is hailing this as the beginning of a "new movement" in the works.
Republican lawmakers are facing constituents who are now concerned that the "repeal and replace" rhetoric is "smoke and mirrors."
Republicans are still trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). But they can't figure out a suitable solution to fix the law without tearing apart policies that the public support.
Democrats are still fearful of being labeled "liberal". Hell embrace your beliefs and fuck the nonsense.
Because if you continue to support a billionaire who is willing to put us back into war, cut the safety net, ban individuals based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, economic and social standings, then support the conservative/White extremist movement.
William Henry Cosby, known professionally as Bill Cosby is a former media mogul, comedian, singer, author and activist. He is facing a trial for an incident that happened back in 2004.
A comedian named Hannibal Buress opened the flood gates by relying the nasty deeds of Cosby.
It opened a door of accusations. Over 60 women came forth accusing him of sexual assault. Due to the legal ramifications and statue of limitations, most of these accusations won't stand in court.
But one will and it has Cosby's legacy on the verge of collapse. Matter of fact, it's a pretty much a wrap for him.
Andrea Constand, a former Temple basketball player who wanted a role on The Cosby Show when she had contact with the entertainer. The accuser claims that Cosby put Quaaludes into her drink.
She was slipping in and out of consciousness. She claimed that Cosby groped her breast, placed his hand in her pants rubbing her clitoris and placed her hand on his erect penis.
Cosby denies the allegations and said that Constand violated her terms of "no disclosure" in the lawsuit that was settled out of court.
Cosby has dozens of accusers.
Constand said that Cosby is a "narcissist" who pushes this "moralist" crap upon the Black community. She publicly came out as a lesbian and Cosby knew that. She said that Cosby tried to reform her.
He wanted to have a change of venue and delay of the trial. The judge said "HELL NO!"
The trial is on.
As many as 13 accusers could testify against Cosby. The prosecutors are asking for a lengthy sentence and hefty fine.
Cosby's attorneys said that this ordeal is nothing more than a witch hunt.
"The press has told the American public that Mr. Cosby is guilty of this crime and 50 others, that he is a serial rapist, a sociopath and sexual predator," said Brain McMonagle, Cosby's attorney.
This is a felony case. If found guilty of sexual assault in the second degree, he will face 30 years in the iron college. He will be labeled a TIER III Sexual Offender for LIFE!
Cosby claims he is legally blind and has no recognition of the events that happened. He maintains innocence.
Muhammad Ali's son was detained in a Florida airport. The U.S. Border Patrol questioned his religion.
The world lost a legend in the sports industry. Muhammad Ali passed away in 2016 and it was a huge story. It happened around the time that then candidate Donald J. Trump was promoting this proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country.
The U.S. Custom and Border Protection confirmed that on Saturday, the son of boxing legend Muhammad Ali was detained at the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport on February 7.
Muhammad Ali, Jr., his mother Khalilah Camacho-Ali were pulled aside for questioning at the airport after returning from a speaking engagement in Jamaica.
Border patrol questioned them on their basis of their names being "Arab" sounding.
Of course, Ali, Jr. said that the ordeal was elevated by questions like, "Where did you get your name from?" and "Are you a Muslim?"
The profiling of American Muslims is a part of the fuhrer's relentless ban on Muslims entering the United States. He is trying to impose a travel ban on seven majority Muslim nations.
It ends up in legal wrangling when the fuhrer tried to push this through his executive orders.
Ali's attorney said this in plain sense.
"To the Ali family, it's crystal clear that this is directly lined to Trump's efforts to ban Muslims from the United States," said Chris Mancini.
Mancini told the Miami New Times that immigration officers asked Ali, Jr. about his religion within the first 30 minutes of being detained and again when he was taken to a small holding room where he was held for another 90 minutes.
"What right does the United States have to inquire about somebody's religion when they enter the country?" Mancini told the New Times. "There was no other basis for a secondary inspection. This is an instance where the ban has been enforced even though it has been thrown out. The government is still trying to find grounds to keep Muslims out."
A major blunder courtesy of Warren Beatty. He read the wrong winner of Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
Remember the infamous announcement of Miss Universe by Steve Harvey in 2016. Well he created a meme and it seems to be spreading.
At the 2017 Academy Awards, a major blunder by a veteran actor has the internet and nation talking.
Matter of fact, I wonder if the fuhrer will take to social media to bash the Oscars?
It was a very politically active awards show.
Mind you I don't watch these things. The best I've gotten out of it was through Twitter.
Actor Warren Beatty read the Best Picture at the Academy Awards and misread the actual winner of the top movie. He accidently read La La Land as the Best Picture.
It turned out to be a huge mistake.
Moonlight won the Oscar for Best Picture.
La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz read the card while the cast and crew accepted the Oscar. He immediately stepped to the mic to announce the error. He said that Moonlight won the Best Feature and even showed the card proving that the movie was indeed the Best Feature.
Shock and gasp were heard from the audience.
Jimmy Kimmel, the host of the Oscars taunted Beatty. He warned that Beatty is going to be experiencing "Steve Harvey Moment".
I enjoy watching Hollywood stick this in the face of Fuhrer Donald J. Trump.
Actor Mahershala Ali became the first American Muslim to take home an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the movie Moonlight. The movie is a sleeper hit that was nominated for eight Oscar nominations.
Ali is a featured player on the Netflix series House of Cards.
Moonlight received near unanimous praise from critics, with high acclaim from Ali's performance.
Congratulations to Mahershala Ali for winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Moonlight won the Best Feature after a serious mix up. It beat out top-tier La La Land.
Warren Beatty has a Steve Harvey moment. The cast of La La Land were up on stage and halfway through the acceptance speech, they were interrupted and Moonlight became the winner.
Shock and pause from the cast of both movies. A lot of "I'm sorry" and internet traffic driven up.
Viola Davis won Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

She was nominated for three Academy Award nominations. She hasn't won an Oscar until now.
She won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in her role Fences.
Congratulations to her on winning this achievement.
Today marks five years since the fatal encounter in Sanford, Florida.
While I hate to admit that George Zimmerman get away with murder, the whole ordeal became a part of American history. The Sanford shooting became a highly polarized and racialized issue in 2012.
On this day, we have to make the fifth anniversary of the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin.
On February 26, 2012, on a rainy night, a young teenager left a local Sanford, Florida 7-Eleven to head to his home at the gated community nearby. A neighborhood watch volunteer witness the suspicious figure walking through the community. He calls 9-1-1 and relays the information to the dispatcher. The dispatcher was on the phone when the volunteer decides to follow the individual. While on the phone the dispatcher tells the volunteer to avoid following the individual. By that time, a confrontation, a gunshot and then a teenager lying in a pool of blood.
The police arrive and question the volunteer and let him go. They believed that the use of deadly force was justified through the "Stand Your Ground" law. The state hired a special prosecutor and then charged the volunteer with second degree murder. In 2013, the jury decided that the volunteer was justified in murder. It was one of the most watched courtroom trials in American history. Second to the OJ Simpson trial.
George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin became symbolic names in the Black Lives Matter movement.
Zimmerman, then a neighborhood watcher got into a confrontation with Trayvon Martin, who was walking through the gated community where his father stayed. The details of the confrontation are often disputed through the left and right's version's of the encounter.
The left believes that Trayvon Martin was targeted because he was a Black male. He was walking through a gated community and George Zimmerman took upon himself to be a police officer.
The right believes that Martin's anti-social behavior and refusal to acknowledge authority lead to his death. Martin may have thrown the first punch leaving Zimmerman no choice but to use deadly force.
Regardless of what happened, it opened up some deep wounds in the Black community. It also gave Black America a notice that "our lives are worthless" in the eyes of Republicans, conservatives, and white guilt liberals.
Trayvon Martin was labeled a thug by conservatives and White extremists because he would pose with middle fingers, smoke weed and have tattoos on his arm. They accused his family of making money off his death. They blamed Barack Obama and Al Sharpton for meddling in affairs they have no business getting in to. They were celebrating that Zimmerman was handed a "not guilty" verdict when read by the jury.
George Zimmerman was labeled a cocky asshole by the left. He would often be accused of inciting situations and threatening his ex-wife and girlfriends with gun violence. He would also post offensive images on social media. He would often get into more misfortunes. He is currently unemployed and extremely controversial if ever invited to speak at any event. He was blocked indefinitely from Twitter after he posted a photo of a nude woman who he claimed was a girlfriend. He claimed that she cheated on him with a "dirty Muslim."
The Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman controversy still linger in the public. It's still a touchy subject to focus on because White extremists are often willing to expose themselves online and public whenever this is mentioned.
Rachel Dolezal continues to acknowledge she's a "Black woman". She is struggling since her downfall.
The former president of the Spokane NAACP who was outed as a White woman comes out of hiding.
She publishes a memoir of her life growing up in a fundamentalist Christian family, her embracing of Black culture and the downfall of her career as an activist.
Rachel Dolezal became a focus of scandal when her own family outed her as a White woman. Growing up in Montana, Dolezal claims that her family was brainwashing her and making her life miserable. She left the family to explore an area where most in Montana would normally avoid. She embraced the Black culture. She adopted the Black hairstyle and even identified herself as a Black woman in many public outings. She would take a role in the NAACP Western district. She would become a vocal voice in the organization.
She was also a target of death threats then and now. Her deeds would go punished.
She and her three sons are living nearly on broke. She is getting food stamps and is nearly homeless.
The major book deal fell flat and she's relying on an independent distributors and an interested group of readers.
Sometime in 2015, Dolezal became the focal face of White privilege when she was pretending she was Black. The 39-year old activist got fired out the cannon over at Eastern Washington University,
The former professor and columnist told The Guardian she's applied for more than 100 jobs, but not a single place will hire her. The only offers that have come her way have been for reality television and porn.
Dolezal says that food stamps and some of her friends keep her afloat. But she fears that the toll will leave her and her family homeless.
The memoir called "In Full Color," will come out in March and it was a hard sale. Over 30 publishing companies turned down her memoir.
Dolezal is defiant she's a Black woman, despite being outed by her parents. She opened up about how she got through her struggles as a sheltered woman. She opened up dialogue about race and identity, and she encourages people to be who they feel comfortable with.
"The times I tried to explain more, I wasn't understood more. Nobody wanted to hear, 'I'm pan-African, pro-Black, bisexual, an artist, mother and educator,'" said Dolezal to the Guardian. "People would just be like, 'Huh?'"
