Black Panther!

Black Panther strikes. Chadwick Boseman is the star of the newest Marvel Comics franchise.

Marvel Studios will release the critically acclaimed movie Black Panther and it is Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes, the user generated movie review site.

The ticket sales are on fire.

CNN reports huge turnout is expected.

The impressive pace of ticket sales is a measurement of enthusiasm for a highly-anticipated film that was years in the making. Whether "Black Panther" will break more records on opening day and in the weeks following remains to be seen. The movie opens on February 16.
The film has already amassed rave reviews from fans on social media following Monday's world premiere. Box office success would simply reinforce the superhero genre as one of the most bankable in Hollywood. When tickets went on sale earlier this month, "Black Panther" broke Fandango's presale ticket record for Marvel Cinematic Universe films in its first 24 hours, a record previously held by 2016's "Captain America: Civil War."
Of the top ten biggest opening weekends of all time, five are superhero films. At the top is 2012's "The Avengers" at $207 million, making it the fourth biggest opening of all time behind the last two "Star Wars" films and "Jurassic World."
Industry analysts are projecting that "Black Panther" could open at around $130 million or higher, but they caution that it's still too early to tell.
Stan Lee with Chadwick Boseman.
The film is being directed by Ryan Coogler and it stars Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther. It also features Michael B. Jordan, Lupita N'yongo, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Wintson Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis.

T'Challa returns to his kingdom of Wakanda and found himself usurped.

He is faced with an enemy who seeks to overthrow him and destroy his kingdom. Black Panther reluctantly teams up the American CIA to stop a global war being sparked by a secret operative organization.

Jordan will take the role of Erik Killmonger.

It is expected to sweep box office records.

It is also reported that the White extremists who label themselves as the alt right is trying to sabotage the film and bemoan about the cast.

We also want to report that Marvel Comics chairman and famed comic writer Stan Lee was taken to the hospital. Lee was reportedly feeling ill.

The 95 year old celebrity often makes an appearance in Marvel films.

He is giving his blessing to the movie and hopes to be there for the premiere.

Groundhog's Day!

The jobs report comes with a catch.

If a woodchuck could chuck wood.

For month of January, 200,000 were added. The unemployment rate remains at 4.1 percent.

Donald J. Trump and Republicans are going to tout this as a big achievement.

Despite the talk about an improving economy, we see the country sitting on a bubble. It's gonna pop. Toys R Us closing stores, Sears/Kmart laying off executives and closing stores, Walmart/Sam's Club closing stores and many cities in the Midwest are not seeing the magic of #MAGA.

Black, Hispanic and Asian unemployment is back up. So much winning!

Okay.

In 2017, there were 2.1 million jobs added. I assume that retail and public sector jobs were left out.

About 94.2 million Americans aren't working. Given they did not include the destructive hurricanes, wildfires and mass shootings. They haven't bragged much about the wage gap.

The wage gap has been more challenging for the middle class. The paychecks aren't huge. And watching the hours and time served, people are happy with their jobs. When the tax cuts take effect this month, we will see if the paychecks are living up to the expectations the Republicans promised.

Giving a few bonuses to long term workers is short term solutions.

The labor force rate remains unchanged as well. About 62.9 percent of Americans are working/overworked.

Okay, here's the reason to why Americans aren't working.

1. DEAD
2. BORN
3. IN PRISON
4. IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
5. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
6. IN HIGH SCHOOL
7. IN COLLEGE NOT LOOKING
8. VOLUNTEER
9. DISABLED 
10. STAY AT HOME PARENT
11. RETIRED
12. QUIT ON THEIR OWN
13. NOT HIRING QUALIFIED
14. NATURAL DISASTERS
15. ACTIVE MILITARY 
16. NOT HIRING TOO QUALIFIED
17. LAID OFF
18. FIRED FROM THE JOB
19. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY
20. OUTSOURCING 

So if you actually believe that Trump is doing good, you might be right. The inept leader is rolling back regulations and pushing for tax cuts to get the ball rolling on job growth.

Most Americans believe Trump is dishonest. That's not good. People are saying that Republicans are overreaching. This could hurt their chances to hold onto Congress.

They want to rehash a legacies of the 20th Century. The era of Ronald Reagan has long passed and the Republican Party is still stuck in that era.

It will hurt them.

Hearts Are Bleeding: Mass Shooting In Los Angeles!

Mass shooting at a Los Angeles middle school.

School shootings are often committed by students who were either:

1. Being bullied by other students.
2. Heartbroken over a relationship.
3. Expelled/suspended from school or activities
4. Victim of sexual abuse.
5. Former employee fired out the cannon.
6. Name recognition
7. Mostly male

The nation grips with another mass shooting at a school. This time the terrorist is a 12 year old girl. The terrorist opened fire on her fellow classmates at a middle school in California.

And as expected, Donald J. Trump, Gov. Jerry Brown, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) will be notified about it. They will offer their ridiculous thoughts and prayers to the victims.

The California State Boys, the feds, LAPD, and school resource enforcement will trace the path to why this terrorist managed to get her hands on a firearm.

If the suspect is Black, Hispanic or Muslim expect the right wing demogugues to politicize it as a part of their "deflection" from the real threat: gun violence.

California is an open carry state as well.

A 15 year old boy was shot in the head. He is fighting for his life. A 12 year old girl was injured in the wrist. Three other students were injured after a stampede (from them fleeing the shots).
The terrorist was apprehended. It was a 12 year old girl.

The shooting happened at Salvador B. Castro Middle School.

The terrorist is likely going to face aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, having a firearm on school premises, and criminal mischief. Now as a juvenile, she could be charged under California law as an adult. We don't know how this is going to work out.

We do know she will face a judge soon.

The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Can't wait til a conservative say that teachers, school resource officers and retired police officers should be able to carry firearms in the classroom.

Can't wait til someone blames Barack Obama for it?

King James Could Splash in Cali!

This could be the final year in Cleveland for King James.
LeBron James is the greatest NBA player in modern history. He has three NBA rings. Two with the Miami Heat and one with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavs have a rough year. Infighting and brutal losses to low rank teams have the King looking for a new kingdom.

There's talk that James may soon enter into free agency.

Could he be joining the West and hop on the Splash.

Rumors are going around that James could join the Golden State Warriors.

Is LeBron James does join the Warriors, he will be with a roster of top-seeded players.

Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and the NBA Championship.

In the annual Christmas game, the Warriors beat the Cavs. LeBron was pretty pissed about the loss.

The NBA All-Star Game will be on February 16th through the 18th in Los Angeles. When you see LeBron somewhere between Oakland and San Francisco, then you'll know the rumor could be he's joining the Warriors.

Did You Miss Something?

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) is facing a backlash for pushing a memo that is factless.
The White House is considering releasing a classified memo that is sponsored by Republicans in their attempt to discredit the Rober Mueller investigation.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) confirms that he altered the memo.

The alleged memo is targeting FBI officials who used a FISA warrant to go after members of the Donald J. Trump campaign.

The memo is expected to have partisan results.

According to the Republicans, they believe that top FBI officials from James Comey to Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were deliberately trying to undermine Trump's campaign.

They want to prove that the Christopher Steele dossier is bogus. You know the one that says Trump "in Moscow, at the Ritz Carlton and he hired hookers that urinating on the bed." A shout out to Sean "Softball" Hannity.
Trump took a picture with Russian officials without any Americans in the room. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) poses in front of the picture.

Trump has continued to deny any involvement with Russian operatives.

A handful of members like Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos were indicted by the feds.

Now Democrats are calling the release of the memo a load of bullshit.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said that Nunes was reckless in the release.

Conservatives have long complained about the DEEP STATE and shadow presidency. They are losing their minds.

White Terrorist Lives After 40 Hour Standoff!

Crazed terrorist holed up in Minneapolis hotel. Luckily it wasn't around Superbowl LII.

As we prepare for Superbowl LII, we are reminded that the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul will be watched like a hawk.

As of today, there will be a 35 mile "no fly zone." That means all air traffic that isn't heading to the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport will not be permitted to land.

The Homeland Security advisers will monitor all potential threats domestic and international.

The Department of Health and Human Services will work with Minnesota governor Mark Dayton and state officials to sanitize U.S. Bank Stadium and Minneapolis venues.

Minnesota is one of the leading states in flu reports. Even some of the NFL stars are facing it. New England Patriots star Malcolm Butler has flu-like symptoms.

On Sunday, the New England Patriots will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles.

One man hold up in a hotel room will have no time to watch the game. This white terrorist held up Minneapolis Police for 40 hours. He is lucky to be alive. He did not suffer like Jamar Clark, Justine Damond and Philando Castile.
The suspect from his earlier days.

The police said that they were negotiating with the terrorist for hours. The law was doing a welfare check on the guy when he decided to lock the door and keep them at bay.

The terrorist inconvenienced people. Many at the hotel were forced out.

The terrorist was tossing microwaves and televisions out the window.

SWAT had to get involved and got the pest out of his room. The terrorist was wanted in Arizona on some white collar shit. Now he will face some real shit.

Disturbing the peace, refusing a police order, resisting arrest, inducing panic, vandalism, assault on a police officer and trespassing.

A laundry list of charges. He will be spending some time in the iron college or the psych ward.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Republicans Exit Stage Right!

An Amtrak train carrying House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and other Republicans crashed into a garbage truck. The definition of irony. One person lost his life. 

There was a fatal train accident in Virginia today. Looks like irony managed to hit the Republicans once again.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Rep. Jason Lewis (R-MN), Rep. Jeff Faso (R-NY), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and many others were onboard the train.

A garbage truck was hit by the Amtrak train killing a worker. The injuries varies.

Lewis, a conservative lawmaker from Minnesota was injured. The members were heading to the annual Republican retreat when the accident happened.

Seems like all the delays on passing infrastructure came to head. Mind you, Republicans have been asking for it for years.

No, I don't want to see any of our lawmakers injured or killed. But given how they passed these ridiculous laws and rolling back regulations, it seems like they caught a "Jesus Take The Wheel" moment.

Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Ralph Northam, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) were notified.
Goober lawmaker Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is bouncing. The Republican led the Benghazi and Clinton email kookspiracy. He is returning back to legal sector. The Republican is considering a federal bench position if Trump appoints him to it.
The NTSB will evaluate whether the truck was stuck on the tracks or failed to obey signals and crossing gates.

More Republican lawmakers are bouncing out of Congress.

Now it's 21 Republicans retiring or forced out of office.

The biggest shock to leave is that kookspiracy nut Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC).

He announced he will not seek reelection. He is possibly making a move for the TV circuit. He was a frequent guest on Fox News. He was fueling the Benghazi and Clinton email scandals. I meant distractions.

One from New Jersey who faces a stronger Democratic challenger and the other one from Pennsylvania who was caught up in an affair with a staffer.
Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) is exiting as well.
Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) was one of the few Republicans who voted against the Jobs and Tax Cuts Act. He is a moderate and was facing a potential challenger in a state that leaned heavily on Hillary Clinton.

Also Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) is closing in on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in a hypothetical matchup.

The Blue Wave. The House of Representatives could be in play and Democrats hope to mount a strong offense against Trump and Republicans.

Could it be the return of Democratic control?

Don't hope too hard, the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans.

The Democrats continue to have this notion to lean to the right. These lawmakers really iritate me. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), and newly appointed Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) are fucking up the progressive agenda.

They're pussies.

They do not stand for the people who voted their asses in.

And they could cost the Democrats a chance to take back the Senate.



Theatre Of The Mind!

Jimmy Kimmel interviews Stormy Daniels with puppets.
Stephanie Clifford known professionally as Stormy Daniels went to Jimmy Kimmel to discuss the allegations of a sexual encounter with Donald J. Trump.

This came fresh after the State of the Union Address. Trump was not impressing the Democrats with his get along teleprompter speech.

It was reported that the first bimbo did not arrive with Trump. She took a separate vehicle to Capitol Hill. Every news outlet except Fox News reported this.

Kimmel and Daniels were watching the speech and discussing the allegations.

The Wall Street Journal and InTouch confirms that Trump met the porn actress in 2006. He was at a celebrity golf tournament when he met her. They had slept together while Melania Trump was pregnant with their son.

The rumor going around is that the Trump campaign paid her $130K to keep out of sight. She also signed off a non disclosure agreement to keep quiet about it.

The night before the taping, a statement was released saying that she didn't have an affair with Trump.

Well she appeared on the show to say that she doesn't even know how that came up. She also says that signature isn't hers.

She is not confirming or denying the allegations.

Trolls Got GOP To #ReleaseTheMemo!

In the alleged Christopher Steele dossier, Donald Trump hired prostitutes to urinate on a hotel bed that Barack Obama was going to stay at.

The Republicans voted to release a classified memo detailing the Department of Justice and FBI's investigation into Russian meddling. This was done on a partisan committee vote and it heads to Donald J. Trump for approval.

If he decides to sign off the memo, the public will see classified information in regards to the misconduct within the agencies.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) push forth the memo despite many warnings from the Democrats and the DOJ.

The Democrats were blocked from releasing their findings.

Andrew McCabe is also leaving the FBI. The deputy to the federal agency was the whipping boy of the Trump and conservatives. McCabe was doing his job.

Republicans were pressuring him to refocus on the Hillary Clinton email scandal. They felt that his marriage to a woman running as a Democrat in a state election was a conflict of interest.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) feud over releasing a classified memo containing damaging information on Trump and the Department of Justice.

There was a FISA warrant issued for Carter Page, a former Trump campaign operative who intelligence agencies claimed he was an agent of Russian interest.

The Trump dossier is also coming into question. The former British spy Christopher Steele got information on allegations that Trump maintained contacts with prominent Russian officials who are close to Vladimir Putin.

Also the allegations that Trump hired prostitutes to urinate on the bedspread at a hotel in preparation of then president Barack Obama's arrival.

Trump also refused to enact the Russian sanctions that were passed by a veto proof majority in Congress.


Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said that the whole ordeal is a political stunt to discredit the Robert Mueller investigation.

The Democrat said that the continuous distractions by Trump and his allies won't deter the Mueller investigation.

Cleveland Indians Cuts Chief Wahoo!

Retire this logo.
The iconic mascot logo of the American League's Cleveland Indians is going to be retired soon. The controversial mascot was a dishonorable reflection of America's continuation of racial stereotypes.

The iconic mascot disrespects Native Americans.

This removal of Wahoo is a step in the right direction.

The new logo will be revealed in the 2019 season.

The sad irony is that the franchise will continue to sell merchandise with the logo on it.

MLB approved the decision. It helps streamline Cleveland's opportunity to host the All Star Game.

Welcome to Donald J. Trump's America people. He has no compassion towards people of color. The inept leader signed off the controversial TransCanada KeystoneXL pipeline and it cuts into the Standing Rock Reservation. Already the pipeline sprung a leak and it may contaminate the ground water.

Trump and his bigoted allies continue to insult people of color.

Trump Tangles With Jay-Z!

Mr. Carter meets Mr. Jones.

I guess he can't handle Slim Shady.

Eminem scorched Donald J. Trump at the BET Awards last year. The inept leader didn't respond to the harsh diss. One wonders if race was involved.

Trump has responded to likes of Snoop Dogg, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Jemele Hill, LaVar Ball, Colin Kaepernick, Steph Curry and Barack Obama to name a few.

Today, we add Jay-Z to the list of professional Blacks getting underneath the dotard's skin.

Jay-Z appeared on CNN'S The Van Jones Show to discuss the Black community and Trump's role in it.









Jones asked how the media mogul felt about the alleged comments made by Trump in which he regarded Haiti and the 55 African countries, shitholes.

"There was a moment when [former Los Angeles Clippers owner] Donald Sterling had been exposed as this racist on a private phone conversation that he was having and they took his team from him."

"And it's like, OK, that's one way to do it. But another way would have been, let him have his team and then let's talk about it together. ... Maybe some penalties. Because once you do that, all the other closet racists just run back in the hole. You haven't fixed anything. What you've done was spray perfume on a trash can."

"You don't take the trash out. You keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable and then, you know, as those things grow, then you create a superbug. And then now we have Donald Trump, the superbug."

"Donald Trump is a human being, too," he said, adding he was just being funny. "Somewhere along his lineage something happened to him ... and he's in pain and he's expressing it in this sort of way."

"You treat people like human beings. That's the main point," he said. "It goes back to the whole thing -- 'Treat me really bad and pay me well.' It's not going to lead to happiness, it's going to lead to, again, the same thing. Everyone's going to be sick."

The remarks earned him a personal attack from Trump.



And of course, conservatives waste no time trying to "schoolin'" Black entertainers about the so-called plight of the Black community.

Black unemployment came down under Barack Obama. Conservatives refuse to acknowlege that Obama takes credit for the economy. Trump in his usual fashion is taking credit for the low unemployment of Black Americans. These are the people Trump view in a negative light.

The conservatives rehash the old past Jay-Z had when he was a young buck dealing out the Brooklyn Zoo. Before he became a media and business mogul, Jay-Z was a dope dealer. He would become a successful rapper and a co-founder of his own music label. He changed his ways, married a pop singer and is a devoted father of three.

Fox News couldn't help but take a dig at Jay-Z.

At the Grammy Awards, the media mogul was nominated for eight categories. He didn't take any awards home and the right wing network trolled him.
