Demanding answers to how this massive fire happened.
The great fire of London.
This week, a major fire engulfed a high rise in the city. The residents of the North Kensington district are pissed that the city and country couldn't do much to save the lives of the residents living in the Grenfell Tower.
Embattled Prime Minister Theresa May is facing heat for not showing an ounce of sympathy towards the victims of the fire. Many of the residents were people of color and the anger that we're seeing in the United States is felt over in the United Kingdom.
Some of the missing were in the inferno of Grenfell Tower.
Protests are happening in the city and May will now show some sympathy towards the victims.
At least 17 people are confirmed dead with the numbers possibly rising.
The London Fire Brigade is now sending in dogs and retrievers to search the unstable building.
It's going to get hot! I mean it's going to get hot!
I'm fucking pissed.
Another dirty cop walks. Jeronimo Yanez, the cop who shot Philando Castile after a routine traffic pullover was found not guilty in the manslaughter. Even though it was recorded on camera by his girlfriend Diamond Reynolds, the jury found Yanez not guilty of his death.
A White jury believed that Yanez was doing his job.
Valarie Castile is furious. She said that Yanez better watch his back cause it's a coming!
This decision on Friday really got me heated. I am already upset with a lot of things, but another dirty ass cop gets off with murder. Ten white jurors and two alternatives who were Black said this decision was right.
"I'm mad as hell right now. My son loved this city, and this city killed my son," said Castile. "The system continues to fail Black people, and it will continue to fail you all. Like I said, because this happened with Philando, and when they get done with us, they are coming for you and all your interracial children."
Yanez was charged in November for the death of Castile after he stopped for a taillight. In the 911 audio he claimed that Castile was a figure with a wide-set nose and wanted to run plates to see if he was up to no good. Castile had a gun permit.
Yanez shot Castile seven times in front of Reynolds and her child. The reckless endangerment charge ended in a not guilty.
Valarie Castile is furious the jury found that dirty cop not guilty.
Yanez broke down in tears during the trial saying that he felt his life was in danger.
Reynolds also went public about this.
"I am incredibly disappointed with the jury's verdict. My boyfriend, Philando Castile, was pulled over, because, per Officer Yanez, he had a wide nose and looked like a suspect. He did nothing but comply with Yanez's instructions to get his driver's license. He was seatbelted and doing as he was told, when he was shot by Yanez who fired 7 shots into the vehicle where my 4 year old daughter and I also sat. It is a sad state of affairs when this type of criminal conduct is condoned simply because Yanez is a policeman. God help America."
Deliberations lasted for five days. The jury at first was deadlocked but they went forth to continue deliberation. Jurors were spending a lot of time trying to decide on what is "culpable negligence."
The system continues to fail Black America.
I am very angry. I am tired of watching Black men die under police fire.
BAD COPS WILL END UP GETTING GOOD COPS KILLED. GOOD COPS WILL PAY THE PRICE WHEN A TERRORIST PLOTS AN ATTACK AGAINST THEM.
Trump is thirsty for attention. He and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) will head to Miami to rollback relations between Cuba and the United States. In 2015, then president Barack Obama eased travel restrictions to Cuba. Trump will undo that. Mike Pence hires a private lawyer.
Donald J. Trump turned 71 years old on Wednesday. Trump acknowledged he is facing a possible criminal probe for obstruction of justice. Trump confirmed this on his social media.
I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt
Mike Pence hires a lawyer for the possible probe into his dealings with Russia.
Trump is also giving Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, 4,000 troops to serve in combat. The assault in Afghanistan is an endless war that Trump and Barack Obama inherited. Trump is going against his word to stay out of conflict.
He will head to Florida today. Trump is imposing a travel ban again. But this time he is trying to unravel United States relations with Cuba. And he got his ideas from his old foe, "Little Marco."
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is a failed presidential candidate. He was Trump's fiercest critics during the election. Now he's plugging a bug in Trump's ear when it comes to Raul Castro and his "murderous" regime.
Trump claims that American money goes to the Cuban military. He wants to put a stop to it.
The business community are opposed to any changes. Even some in Trump's inner circle believe this is a bad idea.
Trump is once again trying to create a distraction from the investigation. By giving the junk food media a story to cover, it takes the pressure off him and the Republicans and their secret healthcare repeal bill.
The senate is working in secret on repealing the Affordable Care Act. It's drawing massive criticism from Democrats, medical officials and some Republicans.
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) is still recovering from his gunshot wound. He is in critical condition as the doctors try to save him. He was shot along with four others. A terrorist shot them while they were practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game.
The Democrats beaten the Republicans in the game. The Democrats donated the trophy to the Republicans as a sign of goodwill.
Tupac Shakur's birthday and the release of the movie All Eyes on Me.
Early Thread: Tupac Shakur.
Tupac Shakur would have been 46 years old.
Today is the opening of the new biographical movie All Eyez On Me.
The role of Tupac Shakur was played Demetrius Shipp, Jr.
The film was directed by Benny Boom and written by Jeremy Haft, Eddie Gonzalez and Steven Bagatourian. This movie is titled after the fourth album of the same name.
It also features Kat Graham, Lauren Cohan, Hill Harper and Danai Gurira.
Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an approval of 24% based on 21 reviews, with an average rating of 4.5/10. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 42 out of 100, based on 11 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews."
The movie follows biopics of the late Tupac Shakur rise to fame. His run-ins with the law. His feud with Notorious B.I.G. and the East Coast rappers. And of course, his tragic death on the Las Vegas strip.
Shakur's death has sparked kookspriacy theories about him being alive. Maybe Tupac might appear at the movie premiere.
Afeni Shakur passed away in 2016. She was the mother of Tupac Shakur. She was co-executive producer of the movie.
Islamic State leader Abu Bake al-Baghdadi may have been killed.
It seems like the Russians are claiming credit for the death of the Islamic State's leader. The strike happened in Raqqa, Syria.
Wondering if the Republicans and their leader Donald J. Trump will give praise to Russia for the airstrike?
Will they usually doubt the strike?
Or will they blame Barack Obama for not getting him in the first place?
Anyway, the Islamic State of the Levant is a Sunni militant group that has recruited individuals to take to arms against oppressive regimes and anti-Islamic sentiment in the West. They are classified as terrorist by the Western junk food media.
The group had maintained strength in Syria and Iraq/ The group also expanded influence into Egypt, Libya, the Philippines,Yemen, Afghanistan, Iran, United Kingdom, Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the United States.
Its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is the de facto leader of the organization. He is a 40-something year old man who was then a part of the resistance against the United States military in the Iraqi War.
Born Ibrahim Awwadty Ibrahiam Ali Muhammad al-Badri al-Sammarrai, the leader of this group has been relentless. He captured in Iraq back in 2004 near Fallujah. He was detained and imprisoned at Abu Ghraib and Camp Bucca.
He was released in 2004 as a low level detainee. Conservatives claim he was detained until 2009.
Of course in their minds, it's a swipe at Barack Obama because he took over as President of the United States after George W. Bush.
There was no initial independent confirmation that the leader was killed. The U.S.-military leading in the coalition to take him out can't confirm the death. Iraqi officials are skeptical of the death.
Of course, in this blood thirsty country, the United States want pictures of a bloody carcass.
If this is proven true, this will be a big blow to the Islamic State.
Yeah, that's what they've said about Osama bin Laden and yet al Qaeda still exist and is really excited that Donald J. Trump is the leader. They will find ways to inspire more militant attacks against the West. Of course, they don't want to infiltrate from Syria and the Muslim nations, Trump is trying to impose his Muslim ban on.
The Islamic State wants American born Muslims to take to arms.
Russian state media claims that the United States was notified of the airstrikes. The Russians claim 30 field commanders and 300 personal guards were killed in a massive airstrike.
The United States constantly killed deputies and "second-in-commands." They came extremely close to killing al-Bahdadi.
Flint and Michigan officials are charged with manslaughter.
State and federal officials decided that the Flint water crisis was criminal. And now five people will face a judge in the matter.
Attorney General of Michigan, Bill Schuette charged five officials with involuntary manslaughter.
The criminal charges come from the state and Flint officials negligent actions. They green-lit the usage of the Flint River for the city's water supply. They were aware that the river had pollutants.
An 85-year old man died because of Legionnaires' disease.
The New York Times report that officials include the state's chief of the health department. It was the closest investigators have come to directly blaming officials for the deaths and illnesses that occurred when a water contamination crisis enveloped the city.
Flint's rapid decline started with manufacturing leaving. Now the water crisis sunk the "Vehicle City."
Nick Lyon, the director of Michigan Department of Health and Human Service, Dr. Eden V. Wells, the chief medical executive for the department join 15 to 17 other officials in criminal intent.
These charges could put these individuals in the iron college for 25 to LIFE.
They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
This scandal plagued the 2016 U.S. Election.
Donald J. Trump isn't working on fixing the problem. Matter of fact, Republicans rather see the people suffer because they don't want the environmental safety regulations.
NBA star LeBron James is very upset over the loss. The Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't seal the deal against their perennial rival the Golden State Warriors. Game 5 was a close game. But when the Warriors were leading 3 to 1 in the finals, a win could have kept the game going. Unfortunately, the Cavs, couldn't break out the slump.
The NBA finals for the last three seasons has been a match between the The City and The Cavs.
James who came to Cleveland helped the team secure their first NBA championship. A successful feat after losing to the Warriors in their first match-up.
Now that the Warriors won their second NBA championship against the Cavs, many are questioning whether James is loosing his mind.
Social media went lit when they seen King James without his crown.
He shaved his head and the internet went bonkers.
Your thoughts.
Look below.
Now for the NBA 2017-18 season, expect the Warriors to be a clear favorite for another championship. The team's strongest stars Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant have made the team a force to be reckoned with.
Trump not happy about Robert Mueller pushing this investigation on his ties to Russia.
And so it begins. There's five sources that told the Washington Post that Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor in the Russian investigation is mulling at criminal charges. Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence dismiss the case but hired lawyers.
Mueller is interviewing this week three top intelligence officials as a part of the probe, the Post reported.
Three officials told the Post that Mueller is interviewing the Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers and Richard Ledgett, the recently retired deputy NSA director.
Robert Mueller.
This comes as a big story for the ongoing scandal that won't end.
Trump went to social media to call it "phony" and said that all this attention should have been focused on Hillary Clinton, the former Democratic nominee for president.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller, hinted broadly that a special counsel investigation could be looking at Trump during a House committee hearing on Tuesday.
CNN also reports that Senate Intelligence chairs Richard Burr (R-NC) and Mark Warner (D-VA) were notified Wednesday. This came fresh after Rosenstein's boss the squinty eyed bigot Jefferson Beauregard Session III did his testimony on Tuesday.
The possibility of charging Trump with obstruction of justice could resonate with possible congressional indictments.
Trump has hinted he might fire Mueller. If he does that, it puts more pressure on him. It could make Republicans less likely to support his claims that the special counsel is bias.
More bloodshed in America. A terrorist attacks a UPS facility in San Francisco.
The latest on the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) continues. While this happened in the DC area, the Bay Area deals with a tragedy.
CNN reports that a terrorist killed three before going out like a punk. The shooting at a UPS facility in San Francisco.
Two other people were shot but survived their shootings. The law confronted the terrorist before he took his own life.
Officers responded to an active shooter at 8:55 am (PST) at the Customer Service Center for UPS.
The package facility employs 350 people. The officers arrived to scene to see that the terrorist was still shooting. They tried to disarm the terrorist. The terrorist tried to attack them but gun got jammed.
So he would run into a backroom and take himself out.
The names of the victims weren't released. The name of the terrorist wasn't released. If it's a White man or Asian man, they will call it "workplace violence" or "mental illness".
If the terrorist was Black, Muslim or immigrant, they'll say the attack may have been an act of terrorism.
The conservatives will blame of course liberals and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for the shooting.
Of course, Donald J. Trump, California Gov. Jerry Brown was notified of this.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. OUR INEPT LEADERS CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS STUFF TO HAPPEN. DESPITE A MEMBER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BEING SHOT, LAWMAKERS WILL NOT LIFT A FINGER ON GUN VIOLENCE (REGARDLESS OF WHO GOT SHOT)! MORE BLOOD SPILLS IN THE UNITED STATES. ENOUGH OF THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS! IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE IN THE UNITED STATES. BY THE WAY, EXPECT MORE MASS SHOOTINGS.
Which mass shooting will get junk food media coverage?
This terrorist rattled lawmakers. He went on a shooting spree attacking lawmakers practicing baseball. The law put this threat down. But who are the partisans blaming for this?
Expect more mass shootings.
Also given that this is a White guy, will they call it terrorism or mental illness?
Had it been a Black, Muslim or immigrant, what would the junk food media be focused on?
Matter of fact, since the suspect had support for a former political candidate, what will the agitators start focusing on? Will it be gun violence or the usual it's someone else but the shooter's fault?
Will Barack Obama be blamed for this? Even though he's out of office, the blame will always lie on the feet of the Black president. Cause in the minds of conservatives, it's all Obama's fault, not Donald J. Trump. It's them damn liberals who said nasty things about Trump and Republicans.
And liberals saying that Trump and Republicans are responsible.
The Gateway Pundit, The Drudge Report, Bearing Arms, Mark Levin, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin wasted no time going after liberal agitators and comedian Kathy Griffin for the act. All this word vomit about he's a "leftist" is being spread online.
And of course the trolls who have selective outrage. Just after a man stabbed two men to death because of his right wing politics, now the trolls are focused on this man and his left wing politics.
No concerns for the victims.
Mind you that Republicans will not do anything about this. They continue to allow this nonsense to go on. And now a possible member of Congress could die from this.
Terrorist attack in suburban DC by a lone gunman. The terrorist was identified as a man from Illinois.
The suspect is named James Hodgkinson.
Alleged motivation are unknown. The terrorist was devoted to take out Donald J. Trump and his lackeys. He also singled out Republicans who fought against his beliefs.
The left and the right will continue the usual blame game. Each will denounce the attack but fault someone other than the attacker.
Scalise took a turn for the worse.
The injured include Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the House Majority Whip.
A lobbyist, a staffer and two Capitol Police officers were injured.
The terrorist is killed.
Trump will visit Scalise at the hospital tonight.
A little about the terrorist. He was the NICE GUY..
I said it time after time, the NICE GUY is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. When someone or something spurns the NICE GUY, they take revenge on society. Some called him a creepy dude who taunted and harassed the female bartenders.
The terrorist slipped past Homeland Security and the Secret Service.
Originally from the St. Louis metro area, this terrorist was a home inspection inspector. He grew up in Belleville, Illinois. He was 66, white and armed with a high powered firearm.
The terrorist was deeply opinionated, angry about Trump and anti-government. He was a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sander (I-VT) and his failed bid for president. The terrorist took showers at the YMCA close to the scene where he was. He specifically targeting Republicans.
Scalise was severely injured in the hip. He is facing a tough road ahead. Other victims include Zack Barth, an aide to Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), Matt Mika, a lobbyist for Tyson Foods, along with Capitol Police officers David Bailey and Krystal Griner. The officers put the bullets in the terrorist.
On social media, the terrorist was inspired by rhetoric from a group called "Terminate the Republican Party."
He called Trump a "traitor, chicken-and-chief, wanted a 'swift' removal of him.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) came out to condemn the attack and urged Americans to report any suspicious behavior.
Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) is a military combat doctor who used his skills to save Scalise and others. Wenstrup, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) and the Capitol Police were held as heroes.
MORE DETAILS ON THE STEVE SCALISE SHOOTING WILL BE ADDED TO THIS.
With job approval at record lows, Donald J. Trump celebrates his 71st birthday. And on his birthday, a terrorist attack in Virginia. The attack was done by one lone gunman.
Again, I don't care about the terrorist's politics, family life or race. All I know in my opinion of this is that the terrorist attacked lawmakers when they let their guard down.
If it wasn't for the Capitol Police and Alexandria Police, the Congress would have lost a handful of members willing to help Trump pass his agenda. Mind you most of these Republicans are not willing to pass gun control measures.
The leader of this stupid country now has this issue to deal with. At first, Trump had wanted Republicans to pass a repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act. The Senate is secretly working on the law without any input or compromise from the Democrats.
House members were working on tax reform and infrastructure funding. They were close to taking their umpteenth vacation since taking office.
Republicans now a faced with a new issue. Gun violence.
This issue was ignored for a long time by Republicans. They often had tried to claim that Democrats are coming for their guns.
The Russian investigation will not go away. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, was flopping like a fish yesterday at his senate hearing.
House Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) was shot in a mass shooting.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THE INEPT REPUBLICAN LEADERS OF CONGRESS NOW FACE A CHALLENGE. A MEMBER OF THEIR PARTY WAS SHOT IN A BRUTAL TERRORIST ATTACK. NOW WILL DONALD J. TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS FINALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?
This happened in the city of Alexandria, Virginia. The city is two miles from Washington, DC.
A terrorist struck lawmakers at the Congressional Baseball event practice.
According to witnesses, people were shot. No claims of responsibility in this event. No names of the victims. No motive. The FBI was on the scene as well as Virginia commonwealth police officials.
But word on the street, the top ranking Republican lawmaker was one of the causalities.
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was shot in Virginia. The House Majority Whip was one of the victims injured by a lone gunman..
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards were notified.
Scalise was under fire for appearing at a White extremist conference. He was one of the main speakers at David Duke's event. He apologized for his appearance at the white extremist event.
The last lawmaker shot in 2011 was Gabrielle Giffords. That happened in Tucson and she survived the shooting at point blank range. She was pro-gun until she felt the bullet hit her in the head.
Now Republicans and the NRA are now at a crossroads.
This happened at an event of bipartisanship.
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) explains to the junk food media, this was a massacre.
At least up to five to ten people were shot by a lone gunman. MORE DETAILS ON THE MATTER. DONALD J. TRUMP AND MIKE PENCE WILL ADDRESS THIS CONTROVERSY. EXPECT THE BLAME GAME TO OCCUR. THERE ARE NO MORE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.
