Ice Tea!

Unemployment rate is down but there's more to that story.
Unemployment rate drops to 3.8 percent. For the month of May, the employees added 223,000 jobs. The rate drop 0.1 percent gives the notion that jobs are plentiful.





Wrong.

In a country of 328 million, you factor out what type of jobs are hiring.

Jobs that do not pay as much. Yeah, they lure workers with $12 work pay but it mostly saddles around part time work, no healthcare and crappy work hours.

How's that tax plan working out for you? The American Tax Cut and Jobs Act passed late last year hasn't been a much talk about success for Republicans and Donald J. Trump. The American people are paying more for expenses like rent, tuition, food and electric.

The people of the U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico have an unemployment rate that is way above that national average due to Hurricane Maria.

Summer going to be more expensive when you are paying for fuel, tires, replacement parts, and gadgets.

Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and the European Union when it comes to steel, wool and lumber will spark a trade war. The world leaders aren't pleased with the way Trump is handling things here in the United States.

Clearly retail and the service industry are hurting. Amazon is killing brick and mortar stores. More Americans are not visiting the indoor mall. The stuff at Walmart, Kroger, Dollar General and Marathon is cheap. So it puts the local supermarket, the local gas station, the local pantry out of business.

Why get a hotel room? You can stay at person's home for half of that through an app.

Why get a taxi? You can get a person to pick up through an app.

Why pay for cable or satellite television? You can get an app or view it on DVR.

The fast food industry has streamline service to apps and machines that you see when you walk into the restaurant.

Fresh off another round of closings that Sears Holdings Group promised to 60 stores across the country. There will be closings of national and regional retailers in the United States.

The labor participation rate is 62.7. Meaning that 94.2 million people are not working. Adjusted to nearly 100 million people aren't working.

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're wrong. We are going to see the economy tank in three years. The inept leader rollback of regulations, these tariffs, saying these ridiculous comments and pushing for tax cuts are going to hurt us.

They say that unemployment for African Americans is at a record low. They said Black unemployment rate is at 6.5 percent.

Many companies aren't hiring Black workers. Many Black people are being either locked up, shot, or discriminated by America's capitalism.

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.

Drake Washed The Shoe Polish Off His Face!

Shoe shine boy.
Kanye West went to Wyoming to release his album Ye. He has a seven track album similar to labelmate Pusha T. More on this in the next post.

Okay, Pusha T decided to hire a private investigator to unearth an embarrassing picture of Drake donning blackface. The rapper did a promotional for a clothing company and it generated some controversy.



King Push was salty about the Duppy freestyle. So he added an eighth track to DAYTONA. The diss entitled The Story of Adidon went brutal on the Canadian rapper. Some are waiting four days now saying Drake, "where ya at?"

The song and the picture dominated the junk food media for awhile now.

Drizzy and the company publicly spoke out on it.



Mind you, this feud started when Pusha T ran Infared. He mocked Drake for using a ghostwriter on a few of his songs. He claims that Drake's persona is fake.
All bets are off. Everything is on the table. - Pusha T said on The Breakfast Club.
Drake in return said that Pusha T is another tired "I'm a dope boy turned  rapper." He said the rapper is milking off this feud for attention.

Drake was an actor on Degrassi as Jimmy Brooks. He went by his government name Aubrey Graham. The rapper claims that Black entertainers were often typecast.

Too Black Guys, the clothing company said that it was doing a photo shoot but said that Drake did the right thing.

“The collection featured several graphics that highlighted the painful and dangerous period of the Jim Crow Era. Too Black Guys has a history of representing the black experience in an unapologetic way,” he said. “Although this was not an image from any of our photoshoots, we feel that Drake, who is a long- time friend of the brand, was brilliantly illustrating the hypocrisy of the Jim Crow Era. The subtleties of Drake, a young black man, mimicking how white men used to mimic and dehumanize black people may be lost in a rap battle but we should not be distracted from the issues that are still affecting our communities.”

Yes, this is minstrel. Drake donning blackface annoys me. However, Pusha T ain't a rocket scientist, either. He annoys me as well. He paid someone to find a picture. He doesn't seem like the type to spent time researching things. His perception of being a guy who pushed cocaina assured that.

Both rappers are guilty as charged. Pusha T wasted more time trying to prove to the world that Drake sells more than him. Think about it. If you're that obsessed with knocking rappers for having ghostwriters, corny hooks, dance styles and pop friendly music, find a new line of work.




That music sells. End of discussion.

Radio stations don't play that "I'm from the streets" shit. Benzino, Joe Budden, KRS-One and yes, Pusha T do not get radio play. Their music doesn't appeal to white people (namely white women).

Drake makes way more music and paychecks than Pusha T, the co founder of Kanye West's hip-hop label G.O.O.D. Music.

Pusha T wanted to make a point that it hurts his bottom line. Yeah, I agree.

In the long term, it hurts everyone. These rap beefs usually land someone in the courtroom, the iron college or the 6 foot hole.

Trump Pardons Turkeys And Dinesh D'Souza!

You can come from underneath the bridge you disgusting troll.
Many speculate that our dear leader will pardon Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Carter Page, and others when they are sentenced for using foreign influence to win an election.

This pardon of this slime is an example of what we are expecting from him.

Donald J. Trump uses his power to pardon a disgusting troll who has promoted kookspiracies about Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and people of color.

He wrote some bullshit about Obama's father claiming he is some wild eyed mandingo socialist who polluted the mind of his son. Barack Obama has one sister from his mother side. He has allegedly 25 siblings from his father's side.

D'Souza wrote this for his book Obama's America.

[T]rapped in his father's time machine. Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father's dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is governed by a ghost.

Mind you, Barack Obama had only seen Barack Obama, Sr. a few times in his childhood. His mother is a white woman.

Dinesh D'Souza, a Indian born right wing troll is not a conservative. He is a disgusting pile of shit masquerading as a conservative. He is cheated on his wife with two mistresses. He is banned from most media outlets except Fox News and Newsmax TV.

He is a wackadoodle and vile racist.

He used front money from a political campaign to gain favor for a candidate.

He was served in a federal court and was spared five years in federal time out and was handed in house. He would be spared that luxury by Trump.

D'Souza, former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, and entertainer/celebrity agitator Martha Stewart are on Trump's list of turkeys being pardoned or commuted. I. Scooter Libby and Joe Apiro, and the late boxer Jack Johnson were pardoned as well.

Johnson was put in the iron college after he was caught kissing a white woman. Trump honored him after Sylvester Stallone begged for a favor.

The junk food media sees Trump doing the same things that got Richard Nixon  in deep shit. It forced him to resign within his second term.

The way it's going I fear this fool will get a second term.

Joy Reid Falls On The Reid Report!

Just when she thought it was over, here comes more shit from Joy Reid's old blog.
MSNBC's progressive agitator Joy Reid is facing more scrutiny. Her old blog once again is in the spotlight. Reid faced a backlash after she targeted Republicans and conservative agitators with homophobic slurs.

Conservatives have called for Reid to be fired out the cannon for the remarks.

She and Chris Hayes hosted Everyday Racism on Tuesday. I knew the backlash was a coming. Reid chimed in on Roseanne Barr being fired out the cannon.

It opened up another timed leak of her old blog, The Reid report.

Me thinks this is allies of Sean "Softball" Hannity. They often pop up whenever Reid hits him, Donald J. Trump and Fox News. These leaks were timed.

Nonetheless, it keeps the pressure on MSNBC to make decisions. The decisions that could take AM Joy off the air.

Reid is facing more heat after criticizing ailing Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). She posted McCain's photoshopped to the Virginia Tech terrorist.
The past comes back to hurt you.
And she posted something about the sacred 9/11.

The backlash against Roseanne has conservatives livid. They now want to see comedians, agitators in the junk food media and lawmakers held to the same standard.

Remember, Reid is not homophobic. She was then. She embraces the LGBTQ community and has more respect for them than Laura Ingraham, Sean "Softball" Hannity and closeted agitator Matt Drudge.

Clay Aiken came out against Reid tonight.





Donald J. Trump has divided this country more than ever.

The very same conservatives who want entertainers, athletes, people in the news and protesters to shut up about politics.

The very same conservatives who want Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Barack Obama and Black Lives Matter focus on Black on whatever crime or issues in the Black community.

The very same conservatives who want everyone to respect the flag, the inept leader, Jesus Christ, the National Anthem, our military, our police and the status quo want us to stay silent, take it like a man, stop crying and stop being disrespectful.

Yeah, the old man is dying. He has been dying ever since 2008. Meghan McCain as usual spins the narrative that her dad deserves respect.

Hell, McCain had respect for the dollars. Yeah, he suffered pain, unlike myself, Trump, Reid, Barr and others in the theatre of war.

McCain stayed strong. Give him props for that. Everything else is a sign of his  hypocrisy. Nonetheless, Reid and others should be aware that the past can come back to haunt you. Trust me, I will look back on this blog and remind myself that the words said could have consequences.



Samantha Bee Falls On Ivanka Trump Remark!

Samantha Bee facing heat for dogging on Ivanka Trump.
The conservatives are livid that Roseanne Barr was fired out the cannon at ABC. So instead of sulking it up, they're going totally reactionary. They are targeting other comedians who go beyond the pale.

Enter TBS and Samantha Bee.

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is executive produced by her, Jason Jones and Jon Stewart. The series is a hit and it has been extremely critical of Donald J. Trump, America's worst human pile of shit.

Yeah, we are more divided than ever. Trump being in office has divided this country further.

Now that word, CUNT.
The right and the left attacked Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton.
It's an offensive term towards women. Women are not taking this ish anymore. Reminder, The New York Post, The Drudge Report, Breitbart and even Trump himself have been sexist on multiple occassions.

Bee used it on a comedy skit where she called the first daughter a feckless count. It was a strong backlash. Many are calling for TBS to drop her. They feel that Barr's remarks about Valerie Jarrett should equal the remarks made by Bee.

Bee quickly apologized.





Wondering how long will TBS keep her on the air? I mean she said far less than Roseanne Barr. The inept leader himself said far worse things about people and never apologized for it.

Barr called Black people, apes. That's extremely offensive. Barr has called people cunts. Yeah, that's offensive.

Longtime entertainer Sally Field came to Bee's defense but had a warning.





I love Samantha Bee. She is an amazing comedian. But if the heat keeps up on her, she may find Comedy Central and HBO as the saviors.

Weigh in on this controversy.

The Happytime Murders "Murdered" Big Bird In Court!


A controversial movie featuring comedian Melissa McCarthy win a federal lawsuit. The folks at Sesame Workshop filed a federal lawsuit against STX Films, movie director Brian Henson and producer Todd Berger for copyright infringement.

The movie features a puppet named Phil Phillips and he is partnered with  Connie Edwards (played by McCarthy). They are trying to find a serial killer who targeted Phil's brother and plots revenge against The Happytime Gang, a 1980s television series. 

The tag line: No Sesame. All Street. brought a federal lawsuit.
Controversial movie gets a date.
The movie is rated R and the cast and movie director expressed that the movie won't tarnish Sesame Street.

The judge sided with STX films and granted the movie to go forth.

"We fluffing love Sesame Street and we're obviously very pleased that the ruling reinforced what STX's intention was from the very beginning — to honor the heritage of The Jim Henson Company's previous award-winning creations while drawing a clear distinction between any Muppets or Sesame Street characters and the new world Brian Henson and team created. We believe we accomplished that with the very straightforward NO SESAME, ALL STREET tagline. We look forward to continued happytimes as we prepare to release Happytime Murders this summer.

The movie is slated for an August release.

New York Post's Kim Thong Un Cover Sexist!


Kim Thong Un pitches prez on prison reform.

The Other Big Ass Summit

Trump Meets Rump

Someone better tell that person working at News Corp, their days are numbered. That person will be looking for a job after the backlash. Rupert Murdoch, you better tell your paper to retract this ish.

The New York Post, The Drudge Report and Breitbart better tone it down on the daily sexism. They may face the wrath of #MeToo.

I am all for it.

Now I know a lot of people are annoyed by Kanye West, Pusha T, Drake and the daily cooning of hip-hop music. I am seriously annoyed with it.

Even hip-hop's former video vixen Kim Kardashian West is facing the wrath.

The celebrity agitator is working on prison reform and pleading with Donald J. Trump to pardon a woman who got LIFE in the iron college for a drug conviction charge.

Alice Marie Johnson got support from the celebrity agitator and she is adamantly pushing for prison reform.

Here's what The New York Post published on their front cover. See above.

Now, you know you've done fucked up, right?

This cover is not only insulting but sexist.

Whether you like her or not, Kim Kardashian is a business mogul, entertainer, innovator, humanitarian, victim of a robbery, and a mother.

Whoever decided to run better tell his/her mother, sister, wife, girlfriend, and daughter, that their job maybe over at the end of the week.

Cause someone will be fired out the cannon.

Everyday Racism!

MSNBC host a town hall on racism in the United States.

Everyday Racism was on MSNBC. It was a discussion about the recent incidents involving white people calling the law on Black people for no fucking reason. It also included a washed up celebrity who found her popularity fade within 48 hours.

The controversy with Roseanne being cancelled on ABC  has forced conservatives to go ape shit over everyone who has said something offensive. Take Joy Reid.

Reid was under fire for homophobic remarks aimed at conservatives.

She still has a job.

Bill Maher saying House Nigger in front of Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE).

He still has a job.

Sean "Softball" Hannity said offensive things about Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

He still has a job.

Laura Ingraham tweeted offensive remarks about Parkland shooting suvivors David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez.

She still has a job.

Jimmy Kimmel had said sexist and homophobic remarks aimed at conservatives.

He still has a job.

You know conservatives last week celebrating NFL players being forced to stand for the national anthem. They now whine about ABC firing Roseanne Barr out the cannon and Joy Reid still having a job. I smell hypocrisy.

You can't have it both ways.


ABC President Personally Fired Roseanne Out The Cannon!

Roseanne Barr keeps digging her grave.

Roseanne Barr is officially a washed up celebrity.

We are reminded that conservatives are upset over this. They are calling for a boycott of Bill Maher.

They call the libertarian comedian a liberal who got away with far worst than what Barr's ever said in public.

This decision came from ABC programming president, Channing Dungey, a Black woman who took that to heart. She said if this is how Barr see Black women, she sees herself off the ABC network.

Dungey spoke hard, blunt and clear as the sun coming.

"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."

Her show Roseanne reboot was pulled from ABC and the classic sitcom was stripped from CMT, Paramount Network, Laff, TV Land, and normal broadcasters.
ABC Domestic Television Group president Channing Dungey personally fired Roseanne Barr. She was outraged over the remarks and said the second season of Roseanne is scrapped. She is the first African American woman to be head of a television network.
Sara Gilbert, John Goodman, Wanda Sykes, Michael Fishman, Sarah Chalke, Emma Kenny, Laurie Metcalf, and Lecy Goranson spoke out condemning Roseanne. They were upset that Roseanne Barr destroyed the show.










It hit her so hard, she may have to retreat back to Big Island Hawai'i macadamia nut farm.

Why not stop now?

Oops, she can't















Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton responded to a diss made by Roseanne which is considered anti-Semitic. 


So do you believe that Roseanne being pulled from ABC will trigger a backlash?


ABC abruptly cancels Roseanne because of star Roseanne Barr's controversial remarks. It reignited another political debate over freedom of speech. Was it right or wrong to cancel the hit comedy?

It was the right decision to cancel this show. Roseanne Barr for years has done shit like this. It took its toll. I hope this will be a warning shot to many entertainers and musicians who stroll into controversy. Your time in the cannon will come.
It was the wrong decision to cancel this show. Roseanne Barr is free to speak her mind. Her views do not represent the show. We're just too sensitive to remarks. Remember some called Donald Trump and Barack Obama offensive terms as well. They still have jobs.

Valerie Jarrett speaks to Chris Hayes and Joy Reid of MSNBC. She had responded in kind to Roseanne and the ugly racism towards her, Barack and Michelle Obama and people of color.

Ain't No Sunshine In This Feud!

Pusha T responds back in the harshest fashion.
 Rapper Pusha T decides to go below the belt in his latest diss upon Drake.

The two have been at it for the last few days.

Drake waited for four days and finally Push responded.




So let's get right into this. Pusha T releases The Story of Adidon, a song that goes after the rapper for being phony. He also post this picture of the rapper allegedly in blackface. He also claims that Drake had a child and doesn't want no part of it.


Okay, who is winning this feud? King Push or the 6 God!

Drake
Pusha T

Here's the lyrics and the song.

[Intro]
Easy money
It's about to be a surgical summer
Chop the tops off the coupes
The cuatrocientos ochenta y ocho
The Spyder joint
And you know we gotta cut the heads off these snakes, right?
Watch the body drop

[Verse]
Drug dealin' aside, ghostwritin' aside
Let's have a heart-to-heart about your pride
Even though you're multi, I see that your soul don't look alive
The M's count different when Baby divides the pie, wait
Let's examine why
Your music for the past few years been angry and full of lies
I'll start it at the home front, "I'm on One"
Dennis Graham stay off the gram, bitch I'm on one
You mention wedding ring like it's a bad thing
Your father walked away at five, hell of a dad thing
Marriage is somethin' that Sandi never had, Drake
How you a winner but she keep comin' in last place?
Monkey-suit Dennis, you parade him
A Steve Harvey-suit nigga made him
Confused, always thought you weren't Black enough
Afraid to grow it 'cause your 'fro wouldn't nap enough
Since you name-dropped my fiancée
Let 'em know who you chose as your Beyoncé
Sophie knows better, ask your baby mother
Cleaned her up for IG, but the stench is on her
A baby's involved, it's deeper than rap
We talkin' character, let me keep with the facts
You are hiding a child, let that boy come home
Deadbeat mothafucka playin' border patrol, ooh
Adonis is your son
And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that's real
Love that baby, respect that girl
Forget she's a pornstar, let her be your world, yuugh!
How dare you put Ye in my verses?
I'm selfish, I want all of the curses
I'm pre-bookin' the churches
Me versus three hearses
If we all go to Hell it'll be worth it
Already aligned with the greats, and on that same note
The only ones I chase are two ghosts
Still givin' you classics, that's the only thing that dates me
OVO 40, hunched over like he 80, tick, tick, tick
How much time he got? That man is sick, sick, sick
I got the devil flow, nigga, six, six, six
Surgical summer with it, snip, snip, snip
And you don't really want it with him

[Outro]
Surgical Summer, Volume 1
We gon' take this slow
We just gon' peel it back layer-by-layer
Yeah, DAYTONA
Album of the motherfuckin' year
And you talkin' 'bout you upset
Hahahahaha
Well I wanna see what it's like when you get angry, okay?
You show me that
Push!



Now we are waiting on Drake to respond back.

Some of the hip-hop agitators have spoken out on the controversy through social media.







Now the streets are watching. Wondering when Drizzy strikes back. Will this help move a few more units of Daytona and will Scorpion come out strong.

Eric Greitens Felt #MeToo!

Missouri governor resigns in disgrace.
Republican and family values Missouri governor Eric Greitens resigns after a series of scandals forced his own party to disown him.

Greitens became a focus right after his state of the union address in Jefferson City.

A former hairdresser accused the embattled lawmaker of having multiple affairs. He is a married man. His victim claimed she was tied up and threatened with exposure if she kept quiet.

He face a felony for unauthorized obscenity and harassment. He also faced campaign finance violations. He was using a fake charity donor list. In recent months, Greitens was indicted on felony invasion of privacy charges, computer tampering and misuse of funds. The invasion of privacy charge was dropped.

Greitens admits no wrongdoing but it was the party that told to him bounce.

"This ordeal has been designed to cause an incredible amount of strain on my family," Greitens said.

"Millions of dollars of mounting legal bills, endless personal attacks designed to cause maximum damage to family and friends. Legal harassment of colleagues, freinds and campaign workers and it's clear that the forces that oppose us, there is no end in sight. I cannot allow those forces to continue to cause pain and difficulty to the people that I love."

Mike Parson will become the governor in a few days. Greitens will leave Jefferson City on Friday.

Republicans are sighing relief. They now feel that Greitens will be in the back of the minds of voters.

Now Republicans will try to tie Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as their last ditch effort to winning an important swing seat.

Missouri Democrats are working hard to defeat the Republicans. They now can use Greitens and Donald J. Trump as their shield in the neverending fight for control.

Roseanne Cancelled!

Roseanne cancelled. Roseanne Barr destroyed her show by her racist remarks.

Breaking.

Roseanne was cancelled. The second season was scrapped immediately after Roseanne Barr made inappropriate comments (uh, racist) about Valerie Jarrett.

Barr compared Jarrett to an ape birthed from the Muslim Brotherhood.

ABC quickly responded to the controversy by sending a message.

Barr responded to social media with a tepid apology.





Co-star and executive producer Sara Gilbert was not happy about Roseanne making these remarks.

Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf, John Goodman and Wanda Sykes were featured on the show.

Gilbert is the co host and creator of CBS The Talk. She will discuss the controversy.

This is the biggest shock in the junk food media.

Roseanne Barr is now officially a washed up celebrity.

Tim Allen, beware. You go too far and Last Man Standing will return to the graveyard of cancelled sitcoms.
