Very unpopular and yet it will be pushed through. The Republicans are on board with the controverisl tax reform proposals. They will try to pass it without Democrats help.
And according to the junk food media, the Republicans will have this passed before Christmas and Donald J. Trump will sign this into law.
The Republicans will release a 1,000 pageTax Cut and Jobs Act for Senate and House members to read. And by Wednesday, this will passed and signed.
With a steady economy, the party wants to jam through a tax bill that could be a giveaway to the rich and well off.
And a few extra dollars in the paycheck ain't shit when you're likely going to lose health insurance and a fair living wage.
Marco Rubio, Mike Lee and Bob Cocker have signalled they will support the bill. Also the bill will strip the individual mandate to the Affordable Care Act. It will open up oil drilling in the Alaskan wilderness and protect yacht and private jet owners.
If you have the time to read it. Find something that boils your blood pressure.
A majority of voters hate this bill. Yet, Republicans will certainly pass this.
Lisa Bloom with Kathy Griffin. The feminist attorney is being put through the ringer over allegations unearthed by a conservative agitator named John Solomon.
The right wing demogugues are circling around this story published by The Hill surrounding a prominent attorney's handling of three women who accused Donald J. Trump of sexual abuse.
John Solomon wrote this "bombshell" claiming that Lisa Bloom was shopping for donations to tell accusers stories.
Solomon who is a fixture on Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival wrote this and it's getting traction.
"California lawyer Lisa Bloom's efforts included offering to sell alleged victim's stories to TV outlets in return for a commission for herself, arranging a donor to pay off one Trump accusers mortgage and attempting to secure a six-figure payment for another woman whomultimately declined to come forward after being offered as much as $750,000," Solomon wrote.
He added, "Bloom said her goal in securing money was not to pressure the women to come forward, but rather to help them relocate or arrange security if they felt unsafe during the waning days of a vitriolic election."
She was right. The women named by Trump, Softball Hannity and Fox News were getting death threats. The accusers of Roy Moore, Russell Simmons, Harvey Weinstein, Bill O'Reilly and Matt Lauer got that.
The story alleged that the accuser ended ties with Bloom after she took on Weinstein. She severed the ties from him as soon as numerous accusers came forth.
The right outlets are on this.
Bloom slammed the story and said that Solomon is a hack who makes a living "weaponizing" stories about progressives to feed to Fox News and far right outlets.
"Even this spurious article, written with the intention of casting doubt on the accusers, I caused this important fact that the victims who came forward were telling the truth," said Bloom.
"Multiple donors then contacted me out of the blue with offers to ensure the safety of women who might still come forward. As an attorney I was obligated to relay those offers of funds for relocation to a safer community and find the clock security, and I was happy to do it."
Bloom appeared on progressive agitator Stephanie Miller to dismiss the Solomon report and slammed Fox News.
As you know, Fox News has a well documented history of its hosts and top executives having abuse their power. Fox News settled numerous lawsuits.
Sexually harassment toppled Bill O'Reilly, Eric Bolling and Roger Ailes.
Omarosa Mangulit Newman tells her side of the story. Nobody believes her.
On GMA, there were fireworks.
When Michael Strahan was done with his report on the disgraced White House official who was forced out of her office, Robin Roberts offered a parting shot.
“I’m sure she’ll be selling that story. Bye, Felisha! "
Paul Ryan will have more time with his Bowflex now. The Wisconsin lawmakers is resigning from Congress and House Speakership
Steve Bannon claims victory. He got rid of another House Speaker again.
Shocking news out of Washington, DC. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) resigns from Congress after the U.S. Midterms.
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi were notified about the decision.
The congressman from Wisconsin who was once a former vice presidential nominee for Mitt Romney has decided to bow out. Behind the scenes, Ryan was annoyed with how things were piled up on him. He really didn't want to do the job at first but took the spot after pressure from establishment Republicans.
Jeanine Pirro got her wish.
Paul Ryan's gotta go!
For nearly two years, Ryan had to wrestle with Barack Obama, Republicans and Donald J. Trump on getting things done.
He like his predecessor John Boehner was really getting tired of being told how to do his job by the underlings of the Republican House.
Ryan clashed behind the scenes with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) over tax reform, Clinton emails and the Trump dossier.
Ryan was hoping to make one big accomplishment before leaving.
He wants to change the tax code and he is clearly on his way to doing so.
Despite it being rush through, Republicans narrowly passed the House and Senate version. Now it's being worked out behind the scenes and will face a vote soon.
Ryan was facing a tough challenger. The Democrat, Randy Bryce was hoping to oust the Speaker from his seat. He informed of the news. Bryce wanted to take him on. Now he will be facing a Republican challenger who could make Ryan's district safe.
On that note, Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) is resigning from Congress too. He will not seek reelection. He was accused of sexual harassment and hostile workplace behavior. He paid out a hefty sum to his accusers using taxpayer money.
Don't forget we have Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) also in the crosshairs.
Uncle Rush got a dozen women accusing him of sexual abuse.
The Def Jam co-founder has more than a dozen accusers saying he sexually abused them. They are saying that Russell Simmons is the Black "Harvey Weinstein."
New allegations are coming forth. Simmons allegedly revealed an erection towards female colleagues. He also had raped four women. He had made inappropriate conduct and tried to lay off some of his accusers.
The media mogul was fired out the cannon at his own companies. He said that the allegations were untrue and he had consensual sex with the accusers.
He went to social media to dispute the claims.
“These new stories range from patently untrue to frivolous and hurtful claims. I want to restate categorically what I have said previously: I have never been violent or abusive to any women in any way at any time in my entire life.”
Drew Dixon, a former Def Jam executive told the New York Times that after finishing production of Method Man's album, Simmons raped her in his New York apartment.
Dixon told Simmons that she had a gyneocologic procedure preformed on her and rejected his advances. He ignored her and proceeded to rape her.
She resigned soon after.
"I was broken," Dixon told the Times.
Two former employees at Simmons yoga bar Tantris said the media mogul would sexualized women and yoga, and used his studio to pursue women.
Karen Russell said that she was the general manager of Tantris until February.
She said that Simmons was constantly asking her to leave her boyfriend and offered gifts for sex. She reported to her bosses and they told her that, "that's Uncle Rush for you."
"You have to understand, we go back to the Def Jam days. This is Russell, he loves young models," Karen Russell said. "[We've] always been able to handle it and clean up his mess."
Natasha Williams-Blach told the L.A. Times that Simmons had attempted to force her to flex her mouth on him in 1996, after he took her to a yoga class.
She had a role in Bill Bellamy's movie Def Jam's How To Be A Player.
Sherri Hines, who was a rapper on Def Jam under the name of Sheri Sher said Simmons raped her in his New York office.
Erin Beattie, a massage therapist said Simmons asked her to touch the king.
An unnamed former Tantris yoga instructor quit after Simmons kept demanding her for sex.
The allegations began when model Keri Claussen Khalighi accused the media mogul of raping her when she was 17 years old.
Soon after Jenny Lument posted a column accusing Simmons of having sex with her without her consent.
Simmons is stripped from his companies and claimed one of the accusers is trying to extort him for $500,000.
Are you sure it's not a lawsuit?
Russell Simmons is a dirty ass pervert. He is one the latest men who are being sexual abuse against women.

Barack Obama's chief critic and serial complainer Tavis Smiley is fired out the cannon at PBS for allegations of sexual harassment. Smiley hosted a primetime show on PBS .
Smiley used to be prominent black journalist. He was originally a part of BET and hosted nightly news before he was fired out the cannon. So it gives me the belief that his allegations go way back.
I expect there will be more accusers.
There are credible accusations of inappropriate behavior. Smiley engaged in sexual relationships with multiple subordinates. Some said that Smiley was vindictive if he was rejected.
PBS immediately hired a law firm and iced him. As of today, the show is cancelled. It's pretty much a wrap for him. De facto termination.
According to Variety:
"The investigation found credible allegations that Smiley had engaged in sexual relationships with multiple subordinates, sources said. Some witnesses interviewed expressed concern that their employment status was linked to the status of a sexual relationship with Smiley. In general, witnesses described Smiley as creating a verbally abusive and threatening environment that went beyond what could be expected in a typical high-pressure work environment. Several expressed concerns about retaliation."
Smiley went to social media to dispute the claims and said he will be vindicated if the allegations were proven false.
"To be clear, I have never groped, coerced, or exposed myself inappropriately to any workplace colleague in my entire broadcast career, covering 6 networks over 30 years," he wrote. "Never. Ever. Never."
As you know, Charlie Rose was fired at the cannon at PBS after eight women came forward with allegations against him. It also cost him a place at CBS News and 60 Minutes. Three women at CBS accused him as well. There are at least 15 women who spoke out against Rose.
Now Smiley joins many prominent men fired out the cannon for sexual abuse.
Grand Rapids Police faces scrutiny for arresting a 11 year old girl who was innocent.
Grand Rapids is the second largest city in the state of Michigan. It's population is 194,000 residents. It is 39 miles from Lake Michigan. It was the hometown of the 38th President of the United States, Gerald Ford.
The city has a racial divide.
The police force is once again facing controversy. The Grand Rapids Police are doing damage control after two of its officers arrested an 11 year old girl who committed no crime.
No way, I'll ever be cop for Grand Rapids. Honestie Hodges tells junk food media she wanted to be in law enforcement. The experience turned her off to it.
Earlier this year, there were three incidents where the police drawn their guns on Black teens.
Honestie Hodges was clearly shaken and traumatized by the incident.
On their body cameras, they yanked the girl out of her home and detained her.
They assumed that she was with the woman who stabbed a victim in the area.
Honestie and mother Whitney Hodges were detained at gunpoint by Grand Rapids Police.
The ran up on Honestie, her mother Whitney and another woman assuming they were harboring a fugitive. Their guns were drawn and demanding the family to the ground. As they cuffed them, the girl was screaming and crying.
The three were placed in separate cruisers and were questioned before release.
Chief David Rahinsky was telling the junk food media that he choked up watching the footage.
The actual suspect was caught later.
The actual suspect Carrie Sue Manning was arrested on attempted murder.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Keaton Jones, the boy who won America's heart with a viral video of him crying about him being bullied by classmates in a suburban Knoxville school is facing a monstrous backlash. It's not his fault.
Bullied child's family faces backlash for posting racist remarks on social media.
We blame his mom and dad for the backlash.
The mother was outed through online posts slamming Black people and donning the Confederate flag in some of her pictures. Keaton's sister didn't make things better. Her social media posts also showed a pattern of behavior showing racial angst.
Now The Daily Mail found out that his dad is a white extremist. He now serving some time in the iron college.
Shawn White is a supporter of the White extremist movement.
Kimberly Jones, the mother was facing heat after the trolls unearthed some offensive postings regarding Black people.
There are allegations of Keaton saying racial slurs to some of the students.
Nonetheless, the entertainment industry felt sorry for him and will invite him to events. They may help his mother end the cesspool of hate and division.
Omarosa Manigult Newman was fired out the cannon last night. Donald Trump's chief of staff John Kelly personally kicked her out the White House.
The former reality television star who became the White House diversity coalition leader was fired out the cannon.
Omarosa Manigault, the reality star, minister and business mogul bids adieu to the White House after rumors of frustration finally came to surface.
Often regarded as a villain, Omarosa would often throw her diva like attitude at fellow contestants on Donald J. Trump's old show The Apprentice.
She will remain until Trump's first anniversary.
Dina Powell, one of Trump's most trusted aides is also resigning as well.
Rumors are flying. She claims that Trump's support for Roy Moore did it for her. The White House dispute this. They said she was removed from the grounds and her clearance was revoked.
John Kelly was pretty much behind the cannon firing. The chief of staff was getting tired of her lashing out at staffers as the White House liaison of diversity.
Also Trump was furious at UN ambassador Nikki Haley after her GOP Sundays interview. Haley pretty much said that the accusers should be heard at a congressional hearing.
Now 21 women accused Trump of some form of misconduct.
Was Omarosa a sexually abused by Trump?
What was the most infamous of Omarosa was the National Association of Black Journalists debate.
Senator-elect Doug Jones' (D-AL) suprise victory is a rally call to the Democrats. Charles Barkley said that the party better get in line with Black voters or face defeat.
The former NBA star and sports agitator sent the Democrats a message in the wake of Doug Jones surprise victory against Roy Moore.
He told the party to stop worrying about what Republicans and conservatives think of them. He said to the Democratic Party, "Get off youe asses and help Black and poor White people."
That maybe the sign of change within the Democratic Party.
Barkley endorsed Jones. He said that Alabamans rejected Moore was a relief.
It would be an embarrassment to have that guy in the Senate.
It was a nail biter election. The Moore team lost by a single point by the exit polls.
Moore will not concede the race. He said, "When the vote is this close, it's not over." He added, "We still got to go by the rules."
Disapproval and blame was certainly spread around at the Moore event.
Moore blames the junk food media and Doug Jones for the "smear" campaign. He said that Donald J. Trump's lackluster help failed him. Steve Bannon blames Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for not backing him. Sean "Softball" Hannity blames Barack Obama and said that he was really in favor of bigot Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL).
Alabama Republicans threaten to oust Gov. Kay Ivey and Shelby. Ivey for issuing a special election and Shelby for publicly denouncing Moore.
Ivey is going to face heat. She will be facing a primary challenger in state races. She said that she believed the accusers but regardless will support Moore.
Barkley was right on something for once.
If the Democrats continue to believe we're just sheep, they better prepare themselves for the minority. We will continue to hold the Democrats and Republicans accountable. Black Lives Matter and fat too long we were marginalized. We supported Barack Obama for a reason. We did not support him just because he was Black. We support him because he his policies benefits our needs.
Doug Jones victory already sparks talk about him being a contender for 2020.
