Blood Reigns On Chicago: Mass Shootings Everywhere!


Listen, man.

Donald J. Trump, you are the motherfucking President of the United States. You said that you will defend "our people" and uphold the Constitution.

You have failed miserably. You are not an example of First Lady Melania Trump's campaign to end cyberbullying and becoming a role model in the community.

The city of Chicago, Illinois is a part of the United States. Last time I've check, you seemed to leave Chicago the way you've left Puerto Rico. I mean over 5,000 lives were lost since Hurricane Maria and you've done absolutely nothing (other than toss paper towels).

You are the foreseer of all things in the country. Since you're so fixated on blaming Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel for the latest weekend of bloodshed, here's what we should do.

Blame all forms of gun violence in the United States on you!

Nah, I'm not going to do it. But for the good readers of World News Today, here's a poll.

Mass shootings continue to plague Chicago. Many innocent lives are lost. Who deserves the blame for this?

Barack Obama
Donald Trump
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel
Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner
Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton
Hip-Hop Music
NRA
Black Lives Matter
Liberals
Conservatives
Lackluster Gun Laws
March For Our Lives
Muslims
Junk Food Media
Gangs and Cartels
Chicago Division Of Police
The Shooter(s)
Created with PollMaker

You are the 45th President of the United States. You're the "most powerful" world leader. Yet, you're an embarrassment on the world stage.

First Lady Melania Trump is worthless as well. The #BeBest Campaign is a disgraceful waste of time. If she wants to do something for youth across America, how about she get out of those designer clothes and put on an apron and serve at a soup kitchen.

You ignorant conservatives were complaining about Barack and Michelle Obama when they devoted time to community service when they were in the White House. The Obamas launched My Brother's Keeper and tried hard to get Congress to work on comprehensive gun reform.

When these conservatives mention Chicago, you automatically hear "NIGGER" when they speak about it. When I hear a Black conservative complain about how hip-hop music, Black athletes, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton, I hear Coonservative.

Conservatives have never (I mean never) done anything for Chicago or any place in America.

They are embolden to the National Rifle Association. An organization that advocates lackluster gun laws. Don't give me that bullshit about how Chicago is a "gun-free zone."

Since DC v. Heller, we have rollback city ordinances and regulations. We allowed individuals to travel to Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky to purchase firearms without background checks.

Most of the people committing the acts of violence are legally able to carry firearms. So don't pull that bullshit about how illegal guns are on the street. Most owners of firearms are able to have them.

From the day you've cocked that burner, you're a legal gun owner.

To those who troll, don't worry, I've got my response to you as well.

I can't estimate how many lives were lost in the latest weekend but I can tell you that the names are never going to be mentioned. These names will remain local news stories.

Conservatives will forever troll and bullshit.

Bet you money, you'll never see Trump, Mike Pence, Laura Ingraham, Bill Cunningham, Matt Drudge, Bill O'Reilly, Mark Levin, Jim Hoft, Michelle Malkin, Alex Jones and Sean "Softball" Hannity ever set foot in the Southside of Chicago.

Chris Hayes of MSNBC actually went Chicago.

Rev. Jackson and Rev. Sharpton had went to the funerals of people of color killed by the police and individuals tied to gangs.

Barack Obama has talked countless times about it.

But for the conservatives, they ignore it. They claim that the "left" is basically allowing gun violence and crime to co-exist with Americans.

Yeah, the same ol' song.

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said that he will add more cops to the streets.

The lawman said that he wants to ensure the public that they're there to keep the city safe.

But like most decisions, they've always backfired.

Last week, the Chicago Police had placed a bait vehicle in the Southside. There was a semi-truck with an unlocked door containing shoes. The folks at Norfolk Southern partnered with the police to place the vehicles in the area. They were hoping a curious bystander would open the truck and find a motherload of Nike shoes.

And the Laquan McDonald controversy. Many residents fear the police. Given that the police have randomly stopped law-abetting motorists (mostly of color), the residents rather stay out of it.

Hence, the NO SNITCHIN' or BLUE WALL OF SILENCE.

Chicago got to get its act together. Not all of the city is crime-infested. But given that the junk food media picks and chooses which stories are noteworthy, they often seek mass shootings as the heart strings and activism.

Let's be clear, Chicago will exist. It will take a Congress and a leader who is willing to take on the gun lobby. A leader who could build bridges. Not a divisive figure who divides our country with platitudes and promises never kept.

I'm about working with people. I fear that if I was to travel from Ohio to Chicago, I would be a victim also. But I am trying to put aside the fear. I don't fear man. I fear failure.

Over 60 people were shot in the Chicago area.

"It's no secret that we had another unacceptable violent weekend," Johnson said during a press conference in which he called for legislation that would toughen Illinois laws regarding repeat gun crimes and make it harder to purchase a weapon after committing certain crimes.

Johnson said three persons of interest are in custody in connection with several of the shooting incidents this weekend. He noted that officers also shut down 68 block parties over the weekend for illegal activity, seized 83 guns, and arrested 29 people on gun charges.

The death of a teenager is bringing attention to police corruption as well.

Steven Rosenthal, who authorities say shot himself in the head while fleeing police Friday evening.

Rosenthal's family has disputed that he killed himself, and is demanding to see police body-camera video of the incident. Police have said ballistics and camera evidence shows no officers fired their weapons, but the department has not said if it will release body-camera video.

The weekend's bloodshed also included at least two mass shootings.

Five people were wounded in a shooting after a softball game Sunday night in the South Shore neighborhood. Police said someone in a black van opened fire near 75th and Dante shortly before 11 p.m., striking four men and a woman.

A 30-year-old man shot in the ankle, a 40-year-old woman shot in the calf, a 42-year-old man shot in the arm, and an adult male shot in the chest all were being treated at the University of Chicago trauma center. The man shot in the chest was in serious condition, the other three were not seriously hurt. A 26-year-old man who was shot in the leg was stabilized at Jackson Park Hospital & Medical Center.

The other mass shooting happened Friday night in the Englewood neighborhood. Police said six of the people were out in front of a home near 65th and Marshfield, enjoying a summer evening, when they heard gunfire. A 3-year-old boy was among those wounded. A seventh person was struck by a stray bullet in her back yard.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.

HOLD THESE PEOPLE IN POWER ACCOUNTABLE.

DONALD J. TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS ARE INEPT. YOU ARE FUCKING TROLLS. DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN POST BULLSHIT ONLINE. IF YOU HAVE CONCERN, GET YOUR ASSES OUT THERE AND HELP CHICAGOANS.






VOTE THE BUMS OUT.

I'm In A Rental, Why Are You Arresting Me?

Can I ask you why you stopped me? I mean I already told you that this is a rental and I am not on drugs.
The city of Des Moines has a population of 230,000 residents. It is the state capitol of Iowa and the largest city in the state. The city is surrounded by Interstate 235, an auxiliary freeway that spurs from Interstate 35 and 80.

The city is facing a public backlash. There's a video of a young man and his passenger in rental car being detained by two Des Moines Police officers.

The two men were stopped at a local intersection and let's just say that the body camera didn't really give insight to why the pair were stopped. The encounter happened in July. The video was released Monday.

View here.



Des Moines cops Kyle Thies and Natalie Heinemann pulling over Montray Little and Jared Clinton, despite video showing no obvious traffic violations.

Little and his passenger Clinton, are accused of having drugs in the car and acting like they have a weapon as well.

Little is handcuffed and Clinton is taken out of the car while they and the vehicle are searched.

No drugs or weapons were found.  Police did find an open bottle of alcohol which they had the men dump out. According to records obtained by Iowa CCI, Officer Thies booked suspects on 282 charges into the Polk County Jail in 2017.  All of them were African-Americans.
Cops failed to inform Black motorist why they stopped him. They accused him of having drugs in the vehicle but not why they stopped them in the first place.
The Des Moines Police Department is disputing those figures.

CCI released a statement revising the initial claim about the data on Thies' bookings. Parizek said police inspected the same data CCI had looked at and found that Thies was responsible for 253 arrests, with 127 arrestees being black — about 50 percent.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just 11 percent of Des Moines residents identify as black or African American. Another 3.4 percent identify as belonging to "two or more races."

Bridget Fagan-Reidburn, community organizer with Iowa CCI said, "We, unfortunately, had this piece of the data wrong. But unlike the DMPD, we can admit our mistake and take responsibility. The updated data for Thies’ booking history still tells the same story. In our opinion, he has a clear pattern of targeting young black males, and it has to stop."

After releasing the footage, Iowa CCI launched a petition calling for the Des Moines Police Department and the Des Moines City Council to end racial profiling. The petition has been signed by over 550 residents in less than 24 hours.

After the videos became public, police received an influx of comments and questions on social media regarding the behavior employed during the traffic stop, Parizek said, adding that they cannot reply to every post about the incident.

"We expect our officers to be tactful and tactical," Parizek said. "If we aren't tactful, we may offend someone, leave a bad impression and appear unprofessional. If we aren't tactical, we may die. A lack of tact can be corrected with one of, or combination of, training, re-instruction and, possibly, discipline. A tactical failure could become irreversible. Ideally, we work to find the balance of the two so that we can be safe, as well as respectful.

"Every aspect of this encounter will be evaluated during the administrative review."

Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.

HOLD THESE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

RACIAL PROFILING IS REAL 

Truth Isn't Truth!

Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani is a moron.
On GOP Sundays with Chuck Todd, he interviews the lawyer of the imbecile Donald J. Trump.

Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani once again gives America a huge headache.





"When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he's going to tell the truth and he shouldn't worry, well that's so silly because it's somebody's version of the truth. Not the truth," Giuliani told Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday morning

"Truth is truth," Todd responded.

"No, no, it isn’t truth," Giuliani said. "Truth isn't truth. The President of the United States says, "I didn't …"

A startled Todd answered: "Truth isn’t truth?"

Giuliani: "No, no, no."

Todd said: "This is going to become a bad meme.

Last week on CNN, he rejected Chris Cuomo's assertion that "facts are not in the eye of the beholder."

"Yes, they are," Giuliani said. "Nowadays they are."
The look on Chuck Todd's face shows how Trump lawyer literally stated, "Truth isn't truth."
In May, the former New York mayor pursued a similar line of thought in an interview with The Washington Post about the Mueller investigation: "They may have a different version of the truth than we do."

The statement also recalled Kellyanne Conway's statement in January 2017 referring to "alternative facts" offered by the White House about crowd sizes at Trump's inauguration.

Trump's legal team, led by Giuliani, earlier this month replied to special counsel Mueller's proposal for terms of a possible presidential interview, but wouldn't disclose the details of the counteroffer.

Mueller is investigating whether the Russian government colluded with Trump's 2016 campaign, as well as related issues including possible obstruction of justice by the president.

The president has said he is willing to speak with the special counsel, though that has yet to come about.

You Fired Me Because The Crowd At The Bar Is "Too Black!"


The Five Points neighborhood in Columbia, South Carolina is the hot spot for young adults to venue when they want to head to a bar, a nightclub or a local restaurant. Revenue is pouring into the community and the Columbia Police are doing their jobs to assure the patrons are safe.

It seems like a bar in the area is facing a backlash. A former bar manager decided to air out some dirty laundry about the bar's owner.

The owner seems to have problem with the patrons coming into the establishment. He said that it's way "too dark" and he threatened to fire all the workers.







Josh Sutton, the Moosehead Saloon's former manager, said he was canned after refusing to fire black employees in an attempt for a whiter crowd.

"He was like ‘you don’t have the people in the bar that I want in the bar,’" Sutton said. "There was no need to carry on the conversation anymore. … I told him I’m not going to fire anybody because of their skin color. You’re going to have to fire me if you want that done."

The conversation reportedly occurred after the owner sent Sutton a text message saying “whatever is happening to the crowd shift, I want it to stop now. It’s gone too far. I will bring in a entire need (new) staff if needed.”

The owner then fired Sutton and the entire staff, including nine black bouncers and three black bartenders. They were told they could fill out applications to get their jobs back.

None of the black employees have returned to work.

The Moosehead Saloon is owned by Matt Shmanske, who also owns Thirsty Parrot, Latitude 22, Vista and Burger 77 Tavern.

"In a 2017 social media post, Shmanske called Sutton a member of his ‘dream team’ and part of the ‘hardest working staff’ he knew," The State reported.

Scmanske did not respond to "several requests for comment from The State."

Two Thieves Ran Woman Over!

Woman frantically tries to avoid a robber. The robber's buddies ran her over.
Be warned, the contents are disturbing.

Always remind yourself: Watch your surroundings whenever you have large sums of money.

Capitalism once again keeps the rich, richer. The poor, poorer and more ignorant to the fact that the middle class is an endangered species in the United States.

Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka.

A woman is left badly injured after she refused to give up nearly $100,000 inside her bag in Texas.

The victim is in critical condition after she fought off the robbers who then ran her over as they tried to snatch her bag containing $75,000 when she left a local bank.

This happened in Houston.
Young, dumb and reckless. This robber and his buddies could be serving LIFE in the iron college.
The Harris County boys are looking for the driver of the vehicle. The woman who is not identified was followed by a group of men while leaving a nearby bank. She would end up going to a Valero gas station that she co-owns.

As she exited her vehicle another car pulled on her. A man hops out and he reaches for the bag.

As the woman struggles to hold on to the bag, the husband exits the store and tries to put up a fight with the suspect. Soon the driver decided to put the pedal to the floor and ran over the three.

A constable saw the incident unfold and rushed over to make his way over.
The two assholes who ran the woman over were caught. They could face LIFE in the iron college.
The driver decided that he wasn't going to lockup tonight. So he pulls the gear in drive and peel out.

As he peels out he ran over the woman again.

Now two suspects have a court date for aggravated robbery. attempted murder and reckless endangerment with a vehicle. The two suspects are held on high and if the victims does die or suffer life altering injuries, in Texas, it's 30 to LIFE or the possibility of DEATH.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

You Won't Hire Me Because I Have A "Ghetto" Name!

Hermeisha Robinson was sent a rejection letter from an employer. They claimed that her name is ghetto.
At first I thought this was an isolated incident. Hell no, there's more than one person. Count 20 women and men of color reject because they have names that aren't white like, Jason, Lisa, Christine, Linda, Mark, Dennis or Mary.

A Missouri woman was just one of the many who received rejection letters from the St. Louis Mantality Health Center.

The rejection letters stated, "Thank you for your interest in careers at Mantality Health. Unfortunately we do not consider candidates that have suggestive "ghetto" names. We wish the best in your career search."

Hermeisha Robinson and Dorneshia Zachery both got this rejection letter.

Robinson, who applied for a customer service position at the health center. She responded to a now viral posting on social media.



At least 20 women were rejected by this company.

"When I read the email I was just appalled. Hermeisha is just unique. It's from my mom and my father," said Robinson.

Zachery was in tears when she saw that emial.

"The company looked at my name and said, 'No we don't care about what you've done in life, your name is going to dismiss you completely," said Zachery.

The clinic director Jack Gamache claims the company's account was hacked and the law are investigating the situation. Gamache claims there's a disgruntled employee in the ranks.

Yeah, this exist. Discrimination based on a person's name and perceived race has been an issue.

If you don't have a white person or white sounding name, you might not get a phone call from an employer.

Welcome to Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka.

But this has been going on before Trump. However, this stuff has increased since that imbecile took control of the government. The Republican Party is very unpopular. Because of Trump, many believe racism has only gotten worse under him.

Discrimination in the workplace continues to exist.

Capitalism once again is afoot. The so-called "free enterprise" is making the rich, richer. The poor, poor and even more ignorant to the current situation they're facing.

Fox News Dissed Aretha Franklin And Patti LaBelle!

Bad Fox Graphics.
Fox News is America's most watched cable news network. It is considered the country's most controversial television network. It promotes a far-right extremist agenda. Most of the commentators on the network are either sycophants of Donald J. Trump or a propaganda to Republicans.

Here's the latest nonsense coming from Fox News.

In the death of Aretha Franklin, the network ran a graphic showing Patti LaBelle in the background.

The Diss RESPECT.




Fox News would soon apologize for this error.

We sincerely apologize to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends. Our intention was to honor the icon using a secondary image of her performing with Patti LaBelle in the full-screen graphic, but the image of Ms. Franklin was obscured in that process, which we deeply regret.

Sigh.....When will progressives start boycotting this network?


Kofi Annan Passed Away!

Kofi Annan passed away. The former UN Secretary General lived in Switzerland at the time of his death.
The former United Nations Secretary General passed away. The first person of color to lead the world organization for two terms passed away peacefully in his Switzerland home at the age of 80.

Kofi Annan was of Ghanaian blood and noted as the first African man to represent the world.

Annan and the UN were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize. He was the founder of the Kofi Annan Foundations and was chairman of The Elders, a foundation founded by the late Nelson Mandela.

Born in Kumasi, Ghana, Annan went on to study economics at Macalester College, international relations at the Graduate Institute Geneva and management at MIT.

Annan joined the UN at a young age and went on to work for the peacekeeping between 1992 and 1996. He would be confirmed by the General Assembly in 1997.

Annan was devoted to combating HIV, peacekeeping in Syria, poverty and civil rights.

Annan was dogged by the far-right (especially Fox News) for the Oil-for-Food Program. The right wing network was attacking Annon. The program was established to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine and other humanitarian needs for Iraqis.

The program caused scandal after Fox News instigated allegations that Annon and his allies were using the funds for their personal uses. This was egged on by George W. Bush in his attempts to get allies to engage battle with Iraq.

Annon was a great leader. He volunteered his life to community service. He wanted to make awareness of genocide in the world.

White Extremist's Empire Tumbled After He Slept With His Mother-In-Law!

White extremist goes down in flames.
The white extremist who created the (White) Traditionalist Workers Party and the White Student Union went dark after he strangled an ally.

The foolish Matt Heimbach. The suit and tie version of David Duke is no longer a voice in the movement. He did what most white extremists do when they're not on camera. They end up raping women and children.

The white extremist did not show up to the United The Right 2, the anniversary of the infamous Charlottesville riot which led to the death of Heather Heyer. The far right rally only managed to have 30 people and hundreds of counter protesters. Jason Kessler, the founder of the white extremist rally was shuffled out Washington, DC after a hour of ranting. More on him later.

Heimbach was infamous for starting white extremism on college campuses which usually lead to fights with counter protesters.

He was also the guy who attacked a Black woman at a Trump rally in Louisville. He was charged for aggravated assault. He was ordered to serve nearly a year in the lockup. The charges were reduced. He was ordered to get anger management, have no contact with the victim and stay out of trouble for two years.
Proud Boy beats on his wife.
Turns out he couldn't stay put of trouble. While he was living in his Indiana trailer park, Heimbach was living in his ethnopark with his wife, their child and her step-dad.

This year, the group dissolved.

Heimbach slept with his co-founder's wife. The co-founder David Matthew (known as Matt) Parrott caught Heimbach in the act. The two get into an altercation in which Heimbach twisted his arm and choked him until he went unconscious.

Heimbach fled to his home and then confronted his wife. His wife was upset that he slept around with her step-dad's wife and other women. Heimbach slapped the shit out his wife. She called the law.
Bad blood. White extremist slept with his buddy's wife.
He was soon arrested. He got out of that night only to be extradited to Kentucky to face court for violating his terms of agreement. He plead guilty to the charges and was ordered to serve a few months in the county lockup. After he was released, he soon found that his empire had collapsed.

Parrott had dissolved the white extremist group. He also said that Heimbach can't live on his property anymore.

Heimbach is pretty much shut down. He about to lose his wife. He lost his organization and he probably going to face federal lawsuits from victims of his reign of terror.

Heyer's death has become a rally cry to taking on alt-right figures like Alex Jones, Gavin McInnes, Lauren Southern, Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopolos and Tomi Lahren. They have been banned or either boycotted by Americans and Canadians who want none of their influence in their cities.



Here's a bonus for you. Jason Kessler was shouted down by his own father. Apparently, Kessler lives in his parent's home.

Alex Jones Is About To Get Knock The F*ck Out!

No where to go but down.
Far right kookspiracist Alex Jones is losing everything. InfoWars is on its last leg.

Progressives and survivors of the most recent mass shootings are calling upon Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter to end the relationship with Alex Jones. Dorsey who appeared recently on NBC News to discuss his decision to keep the far right happy. I mean he went on Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival.

Hannity is just as bad as Jones and yet, Dorsey goes to him to discuss these matters.

This week, Jones was banned from Twitter and Periscope at least for a week after he openly called for an armed resistance against those who attacked him and InfoWars.



Then he decided to go to Tumblr to promote his agenda. Now there's call for Verizon/Oath, Inc, the companies that owns Tumblr to sever ties with him.

The biggest shock to Jones is the apparent closure of his longtime flagship station.

The Austin American-Statesman reported Wednesday that the pirate radio station, Liberty Radio, was hit with a $15,000 fine and at least temporarily pulled from the airwaves.

The newspaper reported that a lawsuit filed in federal court in Austin alleged that Liberty Radio had functioned without a license since at least 2013, and had been transmitting from a tower at an Austin apartment complex.

Liberty Radio stopped airing on the radio in December, but still streams online. The FCC is charging that the station was also illegally broadcasting on an FM wavelength.

The Associated Press reported that Walter Olenick and M. Rae Nadler-Olenick were named as the defendants in the lawsuit, and the apartment complex where the station was transmitting from is linked to the pair.

The Olenicks reportedly told the FCC that they would not pay the fine and would treat any agency representatives as trespassers.

Jones, a conspiracy theorist who founded the site Infowars, has recently been banned by several platforms, including Facebook, Apple and YouTube.

Infowars and Jones's content has also been pulled from Spotify and Vimeo, and Twitter placed restrictions on the accounts for Jones and his site.





Aretha Franklin Passed Away!

Aretha Franklin passed away.
The Undisputed Queen of Soul and R&B has left the world. Her spirit and music will reign forever.

The entertainment industry lost a true legend.

Today, we just got word that Aretha Franklin had died at home (hospice) after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. She was surrounded by her family and Stevie Wonder.

The news was confirmed at 9:50am.

Franklin recorded hundreds of tracks and had dozens of hits over the span of 50 years.

She won 18 Grammy awards and in 1987 became the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Donald J. Trump was notified about her death today and posted remarks on social media.


The entertainer passed away in Detroit.

Franklin's family said that her oncologist confirmed her cause of death was due to the pancreatic cancer she was battling.

"In one of the darkest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriated words to express the pain in our heart. We have lost the matriarch and frock of our family. We have felt your love for Aretha and it brings us comfort to know that her legacy will live on. As we grieve, we ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

The last public performance was the Elton John's AIDS Foundation gala in New York.

Franklin sung at Barack Obama's presidential inauguration. That became one of her biggest moments in her career. She also brought the president to tears when she sung her famous single "Natural Woman."

Franklin endured the exhausting grind of celebrity and personal troubles dating way back to childhood. She had two sons by the time she was 16 and was often in turmoil with her weight, family problems and alcoholism. '

Celebrities and others pour sympathy.


Franklin was honored both as a musical trailblazer and an advocate and role model for women and African-Americans.

“Today, the Queen of Soul has left this world; but her life and legacy has left us all with something we can truly feel," Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) said in a statement. "Aretha Franklin was soul personified and she gave us the gift of her voice, her truth and her unapologetic passion to demand compassion, love and R-E-S-P-E-C-T for women everywhere.

"An iconic entertainer, powerful civil rights leader and a beautiful spirit who I am privileged to call friend," Lawrence said. "She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.”

Salutes to Franklin also emphasized her longstanding ties to Detroit, where her father, the Rev. C.L. Franklin, was pastor of New Bethel Baptist Church.

“Aretha Franklin was known internationally as the Queen of Soul, but she was also the Voice of Detroit," Wayne County Executive Warren Evans said in a statement. "I’m deeply saddened to learn of her passing today.

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) said Franklin's father helped her husband John Dingell in his first election. As for her relationship with Franklin, "Aretha was just a friend a to me - there if I ever needed her," she said in a statement. 

"Aretha was complicated, loving and giving. Faith was important to her and the Church never left her," Dingell said. "Her faith in Detroit and it’s people is what I will remember as much as her voice."

SiriusXM announced on 60s on 6, that she passed away. It came quickly and turned into Queen of Soul Radio. 

On behalf of me and S. Baldwin, we will truly miss a legendary voice like Aretha Franklin. Her death has touched so many. Throughout her life, Aretha was struggling for success. Being a single mother was rough. She had found faith in the church. Her voice was the gift and people cherished it.

You Didn't Tell Those White Children To Have A Chaperone!

A group of young Black girls were told to leave a business after a rude worker told them to have a chaperone.
A group of Black schoolgirls at a summer camp were "not welcome" to a gift shop without adult supervision.

The incident happened at the Jenkinson's Aquarium Gift Shop at Point Pleasant Beach in New Jersey.

Four little girls go inside the gift shop and were turned away by this rude ass storekeeper. The girls were part of the Princess to Queenz Day camp in Peterson.
Linda, the rude worker is fired out the cannon.
The girls were aged 12 to 13 were promptly told they were not welcomed inside the facility without a chaperone. Once they came back with a chaperone, they were "yelled at" while other white children were in the store. The white children were not accompanied by a chaperone.

The gift store worker named "Linda" then gets into it with the chaperone, Attiyya Barrett.

This heads to social media.



Since the video went viral, the company responded promptly. They fired that woman out the cannon.

Once it social media, the white extremists decided to share some feedback to Attiyya.

Here's some of the examples of white extremists posting in regards to the controversy.









Like a boss, Attiyya responded to the vicious reaction from white extremists.





Hey, why don't we flag these individuals?

Barrett posted a video of the incident on her Facebook page that was shared more than 3.4 million times.

Jenkinson's Boardwalk promises a full investigation.

"Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated at Jenkinson's. We strive to provide all of our customers with an enjoyable experience and we clearly missed the mark this time. We sincerely apologize to the girls from the camp group for the way they felt upon leaving. We have been in contact with the group leader and will continue to work with her to make amends. The employee involved in the incident has been suspended while we conduct an investigation. Any necessary further action will be determined after said investigation." Toby Wolf, Director of Marketing, said in a statement.

This is Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka. Where a group of Black girls are denied entry into a business. According to the white power structure, if there's a group of Black people in a business, they are up to something.
