Unfortunately the Secret Service makes it nearly impossible for people to enter the White House becuase of stringent security measures. The Secret Service has formally closed the sidewalks surrounding the South Lawn.
The agency is being stretched by Donald J. Trump's constant travels. The agency is protecting Trump, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Kellyanne Conway, Melania, Ivanka, Donald, Jr. and Eric Trump.
Remember the constant hand ringing, bitching and bemoaning from conservatives when then President Barack Obama invited Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, Common and numbers of entertainers to the White House.
Now progressives are slammingTrump for inviting his brand of entertainment to the White House.
Trump invites reality television and washed up rockers to the White House.
Mind you, Trump is a product of reality television, Hollywood and music.
Shout out to Jon Ossoff, the Democratic nominee running in the congessional special election in Georgia.
Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, and Kid Rock got a chance to meet Trump.
The three mocking Hillary Clinton.
Nugent is the rocker who crapped in his pants to dodge the draft.
Nugent would post offensive images of people of color on social media. He would say racially offensive things about Black people and Obama.
He sits as a lifetime member of the NRA. He probably encouraged Trump to speak on behalf of the gun lobby.
Palin is the former governor of Alaska and 2008 vice presidential nominee. She was the darling of the Tea Party movement. She was rumored to run for president in 2012 and 2016. Unfortunately her novelty cost John McCain the election.
Palin was groomed by Roger Ailes to run. She got a position with Fox News for a few years. Palin, like other women was probably sexually harassed by Ailes had put up with it. She was soon fired from the network and became a fixture of reality television.
Kid Rock is a washed up rocker. He grew up in Detroit and tried to be a rapper. He was a part of Too $hort's crew before he left the group to strike it out on his own. He claims he is the "self-proclaimed" bad ass who isn't afraid to fly the stars and bars.
Kid Rock has numberous collaborations with rappers, pop stars, and country music stars.
Palin, Nugent and Kid Rock are openly Republican and have supported John McCain, Mitt Romney and Trump. They have openly attacked Obama, Jay-Z and Beyonce.
These assclowns were standing near a picture of Hillary Clinton to mock her loss to Trump.
Elizabeth Thomas and Tad Cummins were caught by the feds.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the FBI and the California State Highway Patrol can pat themselves on the back this afternoon. The feds nabbed the armed former Middle Tenn. teacher Tad Cummins. The suspect abducted Elizabeth Thomas over a month ago and the two were on the run for nearly that amount of time.
They were nabbed in Yreka, a quiet little town about 40 miles from the state line.
Siskiyou County boys spotted the pair near a national forest.
The end of one of the most talked about kidnappings in the junk food media.
It gave me reason to believe that the junk food media was rehashing Missing White Women Syndrome. It also made me think about how these teacher-student love affairs are $$$$$$$$$ and ratings for the junk food media.
The two deliberately ran off. Cummins took out loans and a few supplies, picked up Thomas and they took off. The last known spotting was in Oklahoma City where the two were in a Walmart shopping for things to deter police.
The girl was a troubled youth that Cummins groomed into a romantic affair.
No telling if the girl was knocked up by Cummins. I say it's likely so.
The two will eventually head to Tennessee to face a courtroom. Cummins may face federal charges for the kidnapping as well as state charges. When the prosecutors determined that Thomas was impregnated, Cummins will face state charges for having unlawful sex with a minor. Those charges could have him in the iron college for 25 to LIFE plus an enrollment into Offender U Tier 3.
Thomas may face delinquency and willingly eluding an arresting officer charges.
They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Who the fuck helped these two get away for this long?
They have to eat, use the restroom, shower and sleep. They had someone help them flee and its likely his wife and their family members.
Cummins' wife filed for divorce a few weeks ago. She cites his abuse and controlling behavior. Of course, the cheating on her with a teenage girl is a strong reason for the divorce.
It still bothers me about Thomas. The teen was helping her brother stitch up a Confederate flag. It makes me believe that the Thomas family does harbor racial angst against people of color.
Why did it take so freaking long to find them when the feds told Canada and Mexico to BOLO?
All of this is speculation and I want to give the victim the benefit of the doubt.
Given the two are die hard Donald J. Trump supporters, maybe some of what I am saying could be true.
People Magazine faces backlash for the Most Beautiful in the World cover.
People Magazine announced the most beautiful in the world again.
Julia Roberts was once again nominated by People Magazine as the Most Beautiful Woman in The World for the fifth time. The 49-year old actress who starred in the Smurfs: Lost Village gracing the tabloid has sparked controversy.
Why is People still nominating actresses who already graced the cover?
When will People Magazine recognize beauty isn't purely based on White actors and actresses?
Yeah, they nominated Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the Most Sexist Man Alive in 2016. This came after nearly 20 years of nominating Denzel Washington and a backlash. This Most Beautiful People of last year was Jennifer Aniston. The last women of color were Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Lupita Nyong'o and Beyonce.
Clearly we got a problem with this magazine. I have names of women who could be the Most Beautiful in The World.
White women, women of color, entertainers in television and movies.
Individuals who are beautiful but never given the prestige of gracing People Magazine front covers.
Priyanka Chopra, Yasmine Al Massri, Taraji P. Henson, Kaley Cuoco, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sofia Vergara, Kerry Washington, Viola Davis and so many others could have graced that damn cover.
But People wanted to stay safe by picking an actress who is best known for playing Vivian, the loveable prostitute who charmed Richard Gere's character in Pretty Woman.
People Magazine's Most Beautiful In The World Covers. Is There A Need For Change?
Me and S.B have talked about this for years. I am getting tired of talking, blogging and reminding you about it. Maybe it's time for action. Maybe its time for People to hear our voices.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) cowardly drops out of his reelection bid.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) announced that he will not seek reelection or run for office anywhere.
He was forced to step aside after Republicans begged him to not run. The Democrats are mounting a play for his seat. Chaffetz who dogged Barack Obama during his presidency and Hillary Clinton throughout the election refused to investigate Donald J. Trump and his ties to Russia.
He also said that people should not buy luxuries like an iPhone when they are required to have health insurance for a doctor visit.
Chaffetz said that he wants to spend time with his family.
He also said he will step down from House and Government Oversight Committee as well.
Chaffetz had a strong primary challenge ahead of him. He also had a Democratic opponent who outraised him in campaign funding.
Republicans pressured him to go. After the comments and a rancous town hall, Chaffetz knew he was going to lose. Instead of bowing out graciously, he quits under pressure.
This is why Republicans are failures at governing. They can't get their act together despite bugging Obama throughout his presidency.
Good riddance to him.
Word on the street, Chaffetz is being blackmailed by the Russians. We can't confirm that but it would make sense to why he ain't trying to investigate Trump.
A post shared by Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) on
Ohanian is the co-founder of Reddit.
Well good news for Serena. We wish her all the best on her journey to parenthood.
Lot of news going on today. Donald J. Trump, Aaron Hernandez, Bill O'Reilly and now Serena Williams. I am amazed that these events happen so fast. It's almost hard to catch up to the daily cycle of nonstop news.
The end of the road for the longtime ratings king. 21st Century Fox and Fox News have decided to fire Bill O'Reilly out the cannon.
The New York Times bombshell story about the network paying out victims of sexual harassment and the joke about Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) were his undoing.
Credible sources tell Gabriel Sherman that the executives were at peace with the decision. Despite the pleas from Rupert Murdoch to see how this played out, the rest of the board said enough is enough.
Donald J. Trump was notified of this.
Trump stand by O'Reilly during his scandal. He said that O'Reilly was a "good man".
During his run, O'Reilly was the kingmaker of cable news. His show pulled in 3 to 5 million viewers daily. He stood for "traditional" values and often picked fights with liberals, rappers, entertainers, and politicians.
Gone. After 21 years hosting on Fox News, Bill O'Reilly was fired out the cannon.
During his time on television and radio, he had said things that normally get people fired. He escaped this by denouncing the accusers and the media watchdog group Media Matters for America as "far-left" scumbags.
Now the 8pm spot is now vacant. Who will now take that spot?
I mean Tucker Carlson and Sean "Softball" Hannity are both disturbing individuals. They have a shoddy history and the progressive activist group Sleeping Giants is working to get them off the air.
O'Reilly was apparently in Italy and the Vatican City on his vacation. We don't know if the executives will give him an opportunity to sign off or they're just going to move forward.
In the last Wednesday show, O'Reilly said that he was going on vacation and won't return til April 24th. I guess this vacation is permanent.
This isn't over. Lisa Bloom is determined to get Fox News and its allies on record. The lawyer is representing Dr. Wendy Walsh, one of the accusers who claimed O'Reilly tried to sexually harass her.
Another bombshell was O'Reilly calling a Black woman working for Fox News a piece of "hot chocolate."
This is the biggest media shocks in the United States. The once untouchable conservative agitator finally gets fired by his own.
We got O'Reilly, Tomi Lahren, Milo Yiannopoulos, Breitbart, Michael Flynn, AJ Delgado, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Don Imus, Dr. Laura, and Monica Crowley.
It's time to start going after Alex Jones, The Drudge Report, The Gateway Pundit, Michelle Malkin, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Joseph Paul Watson, Mike Cernovich, Sebastian Gorka, Jeanine Pirro, Tucker Carlson, Eric Bolling, Steve Doocy, and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
Hit them in their wallets. Take them down fast.
On behalf of me, S.B and the rest of the contributors here on World News Today, we say to Bill O'Reilly: Goodbye and good riddance.
Aaron Hernandez decided to hang out. He robbed the victims of his criminal acts by taking his own life.
Former New England Patriot star Aaron Hernandez had put the bed sheets over the rail and let himself hang. The 27-year old convicted felon was serving LIFE in the iron college for murder.
He was discovered by the night shift at 3am. The Souza Baranowski facility administrated life saving techniques to save this asshole's life. He was transported to the University of Massachusetts Medical Center where the pronounced him dead at 4am.
The state board will investigate and possibly fire the staff watching him out the cannon.
Born in Bristol, Connecticut, Hernandez was a football star hailing from the University of Florida. He joined the NFL in 2010 and was quickly picked up by the Patriots. He spent a few years with the team and broke records while with them.
He became engaged to Shayanna Jenkins who is the mother of his little girl. The couple never had a chance to marry because of allegations of domestic abuse.
Hernandez was arrested for the murder of Odin Lloyd, a semi-pro football star who dated Jenkins' younger sister. He was shot and killed in a Massachusetts industrial park.
After the news broke that he was arrested, the Patriots cut him loose.
Hernandez was found guilty of the charges and sentenced to LIFE in the iron college.
He was charged with a crime that stemmed from a 2012 altercation that lead to a double murder. He was acquitted on the murder charges but added another 30 to his LIFE bid after being convicted of illegal weapons charges.
The family is devastated by the news. The victims' family are angered by Hernandez taking the coward's way out.
The Patriots were to meet Donald J. Trump at the White House. Some of the players opted out the decision to visit because of their stance towards the leader. Even the Golden Boy, Tom Brady decided to skip this event.
The team showed sorrow for the family of Hernandez and the victims who were affected by his reckless decisions.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Trump will ignore the victims of gun violence. He will appear at the NRA Convention this month to ask potential terrorists to give him money for his 2020 reelection.
Terrorist in the Washington state mall shooting was hanging on the sheets.
Do you remember back in 2016, a terrorist shot and killed five people inside a Washington State mall?
Yeah, the mass shooting at a Burlington mall had became a national news story. The terrorist Arcan Cetin was eventually caught after he was spotted on camera massacring innocent people. A man who tried to stop him paid the price as well. The victims and their families were robbed of justice.
The terrorist was charged with five counts of aggravated first degree murder after he walked into the Macy's store and lit up the place.
The terrorist is of Turkish decent was naturalized as an American in the 2010s. He lives 30 miles from the mall. He didn't know the victims.
The terrorist had mental issues said his father. They said that he wasn't in the right mind when he decided to murder those innocent victims.
The terrorist decided to go out like a punk to defy the victims. He robbed them the opportunity of justice.
The terrorist was found with the bed sheets over the rails. He decided to let himself hang out for awhile. The day shift checked him around 9am on Tuesday They found him on the rails. They rushed him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead around 12am.
During that time, the candidate, now current leader of the United States, Donald J. Trump was bemoaning about then President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton coming for the guns. He said that Americans should stand up against the Clinton by any means necessary.
Trump will be speaking at the NRA Convention this month. He will ignore the victims of gun violence. He will appease people who could inspire more mass shootings. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Alex Jones faces a two-fer. A possible lawsuit from Comet Ping Pong Pizza in Washington, DC and child support from his ex-wife.
InfoWars and PrisonPlanet are kookspiracy websites closely associated with the whitte extremist movement they labeled the alt-right. The agitators on the website are openly calling for anti-government resistance and racial angst.
The founder of the websites is Alex Jones.
Jones promotes kookspiracy theories as well as promoting survival kits and food rations for a price.
He operates his program and blogs out his Austin, Texas home. He says he's for the "truth" and will stop at nothing to expose the "globalists" and "elitist" swamping Washington. Jones gave Donald J. Trump a seat on his program. He interviewed Glenn Beck, Jesse Ventura, Ron Paul, Matt Drudge and Ted Nugent on his show.
Jones is most famous for spreading the racist birther kookspiracy. He also was deeply involved in the fake #Pizzagate scandal. This scandal was sparked by a white extremist called Mike Cernovich, who is notorious for spreading fake news stories.
He promotes his videos on YouTube and DailyMotion. He also has podcasts on iTunes and TuneIn.
Now Jones is promoting himself as a rational person in the court. He is going through an ugly divorce and the court must decide if the conservative (alt-right) agitator can have full-custody of his three children.
His ex-wife Kelly says that he's not a stable person. Jones dismissed it. He says that's he's an actor and this whole "end of days" nonsense is an act.
The Austin-American Statesman says that domestic violence and violent threats were a sign of the unhinged behavior.
Jones wanted to break Alec Baldwin's neck. He wants J-Lo (Jennifer Lopez) to get raped. He called a California lawmaker a "fairy" and threatened Second Amendment remedies against those who attack him and Trump. The target of Jones' rants was Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a key figure in the investigation of Trump's ties to Russia.
So far, it's not going well for the agitator. Will he claim that the government is out to get him?
This is the same agitator who claimed that the Sandy Hook and Pulse Nightclub shootings were "false flags" created by the government to take the firearms.
Austin is one of thei most liberal cities in the state of Texas.
Who is the most hated person in Austin?
Austin, Texas is a heavily progressive city. The city certainly hates these guys. Pick the one who is most hated in your opinion.
Another mass shooting in the United States. It may be inspired by hate and possibly the Islamic State. Matter of fact, the suspect yelled "Allahu Akbar" and told the law he has hate towards White people.
Three people were killed and the terrorist is in custody.
The terrorist, Kori Ali Muhammad just randomly murdered three people for no goddamn reason. He is a Black man who was born American. He is a Muslim.
He started his shooting rampage around 10:30am local time. He shot a person in a PG&E utility truck, a second person on Fulton Street and a third at the Catholic Charities organization.
This terrorist was also wanted in the death of a security guard at a Motel 8 near the city, last week.
Terrorist hated white men. He murdered three innocent people.
The Muslim community quickly denounced this asshole and said that the city must restrain from the hate and bigotry that plagues the United States.
Schools and public buildings were placed on a lockdown during this encounter.
Yeah, it's continue to happen yet again. Another terrorist who managed to grab a hold of a firearm and massacres innocent human beings. His frustration with Trump, bigotry towards Blacks and Muslims led to this callous act of terrorism.
Now that he's in custody, he will be held for aggravated murder, felonious assault with a deadly weapon, capital murder and reckless endangerment. If the feds step in, he could face hate crime charges. He could face the DEATH card if found guilty.
This terrorist is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Fresno is city in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley.
Jerry Brown, Donald J. Trump, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) were notified about this.
Fresno, California sits in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. It's the only major city that has no Interstate highway going through its vicinity. The population of the city is 546,000 residents.
Once again, a mass shooting in the United States will be ignored by Trump.
Trump will appear at the NRA convention to speak on behalf of the future terrorists. He will appease an industry that doesn't give two fucks about the lives lost to gun violence. Trump embraces in violence.
He is the reason why this country will experience more mass shootings and potential attacks from international terrorists.
That vacation could be a permanent one. Bill O'Reilly is in some deep...well you know!
Man, it's getting really rough over at Fox News.
Bill O'Reilly might not be returning from that long vacation.
New York Magazine's Gabriel Sherman is saying that the "end is near" for the most watched cable news agitator in the business. It appears that Rupert, Lachlan and James Murdoch are about to end their longstanding relationship with the most popular conservative agitator in the junk food media.
"The Spin Stops Here!"
Here's a unscientific poll.
Who's the next conservative agitator to fall? @slpng_giants
The pressure is on to fire O'Reilly out the cannon. Three sources who contacted Sherman say that the Murdochs are leaning towards "firing him out the cannon."
Sherman wrote that the prospect of dumping O'Reilly --- once unimaginable --- has gain steam this week due in part to street protests outside Fox News headquarters and advertiser boycotts on O'Reilly's air.
This exodus of ads has Fox News in a whole lot of trouble. The network is now forced to show its hand in the O'Reilly matter. Matter of fact, they say this incident is far worse than the Glenn Beck fiasco of 2010.
Reminder, O'Reilly started to show cracks in his armor after allegations of domestic abuse were reported in his child custody case against his ex-wife Maureen McPhilmy. Then O'Reilly criticized Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). He said that Waters stole James Brown's wigs. He said that she was unpatriotic for criticizing Donald J. Trump. Then the New York Times released the bombshell about accusers (i.e. Andrea Tantaros, Andrea Mackris, Juliet Huddy and Dr. Wendy Walsh) being sexually harassed by O'Reilly. The network or O'Reilly paid out $13 million to silence the women.
Some of the accusers claimed that O'Reilly appeared to be masturbating while listening to their voices on the phone.
Walsh came out with assistance from Lisa Bloom to slam O'Reilly for sexually harassing women, making the workplace hostile and running this game of being a moral upstanding commentator. Walsh said that O'Reilly was angered after she refused to follow him to his hotel room. He reneged on his promise to get her contributor role over at Fox News.
Now the latest accuser said that O'Reilly referred to her as "hot chocolate."
This accuser got in touch with Bloom and said that the conservative commentator was being disrespectful towards a Black clerical worker.
Me and S.B. have longed complained about how White men treated women of color. It seems like O'Reilly was preaching from a perk about how hip-hop music degrades women. Yet, he has the nerve to call a Black woman, "hot chocolate."
"He would never talk to her, not even hello, expect to grunt at her like a wild boar," said Bloom.
She added, "O'Reilly would always do this when no one else was around and she was scared."
Most of the accusers feared repercussions if they complained to HR about the sexual harassment by O'Reilly, Roger Ailes and numerous others.
More accusers to come says Lisa Bloom.
The woman doesn't want money. She wants accountability and O'Reilly fired out the cannon.
O'Reilly strongly denies the accusations. His lawyer Marc Kasowitz said that this is a "far-left" political hit job to destroy O'Reilly's reputation as a television host.
"It is outrageous that an allegation from an anonymous person about something that purportedly happened almost a decade ago is being treated as fact, especially where there is obviously an orchestrated campaign by activists and lawyers to destroy Mr. O'Reilly and enrich themselves through publicity driven donations,"
O'Reilly took a few weeks off without warning. They also removed his Friday hosting duties to place a substitute anchor in his place.
No comments from Bret Baier, Martha MacCallum, Tucker Carlson and Sean "Softball" Hannity about the top lead in being loaded inside the cannon.
NBC's Megyn Kelly did chime in on this. She said that O'Reilly and Ailes were the reasons for why she decided to bolt from her primetime spot. She said the place was a circus and most of the higher ups ignored the concerns and the Murdochs looked the other way.
Could this be the biggest media shakeup in American history?
Will Bill O'Reilly continue to be a stable on Fox News?
Is it possible that he could be...........fired out the cannon?
Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report tweeted a cryptic post.
O'Reilly has had tremendous run. Very few in the business get to decide when and how things end. Media is most brutal of all industries...
Also we have to note the controversy over Easter weekend. I was focused on the Cleveland terrorist murdering an innocent man. I happened to catch on the social media a stupid comment from one of its "straight news" hosts.
Jon Scott is a total idiot. He was on Fox & Friends over the weekend and he made this ridiculous comment about Muslims being portrayed negatively in the media.
He was criticizing Homeland for making a decision to focus on threats that aren't Muslims.
Scott said that Muslims should get used to it. Media Matters got the quote from Scott.
"If you don't want to be portrayed in a negative light, don't burn people alive and set off bombs."
That comment earned him condemnation from progressives and CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations).
