A private school suspends a girl because she wore hair extensions.
A private school in Gretna, Louisiana is facing a public backlash after an 11-year old girl was told she could attend the school because of her hair.
Faith Fennidy was told she couldn't attend Christ The King Parish School because of her hair extensions and it garnished outrage from celebrities and Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King.
The clip shows Faith, who is the niece of music artist and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Vanity Tokyo, absolutely distraught as she's reprimanded for her look on the first day back at Christ The King Parish School in Gretna on Monday. She has attended the school for two years,
Her brother Steven Fennidy shared the clip on his Facebook page, noting that wearing extensions in her hair was nothing new for Faith or the school.
However, the problem arose when the private school changed the policy over the summer break.
Shaun King spoke out against the most recent events where White people are calling the law on Black people for mediocre issues wrote on The Intercept recently.
He labelled it "Christianity as White Supremacy" and called the attack on the child's self-esteem the "New Jim Crow" in a blistering posting on social media.
Students are given a time (a discretion) to modify the style or are suspended until they comply. However, it's believed Faith's family opted to take her from the school on Monday after trying to reason got them nowhere.
Question, why should students be told not to wear hair extensions or hair designs?
Conservatives are using murdered woman as a martyr for their racist agenda.
Tragedy in Iowa, the missing woman who gained national attention was found dead. A suspect was arrested. Who deserves the blame?
Save you the answer.
The suspect is to blame. Not illegal immigration. Not Hispanics. Not Barack Obama.
The suspect is an illegal immigrant. Yes, the individual will have a court date and face charges in the death of the 20 year old jogger from Brooklyn, Iowa.
Mollie Tibbetts went missing in July. Over a month later, the Iowa State Patrol and FBI found the remains of the University of Iowa student who disappeared after a morning jog.
Now the suspect is charged and details are emerging.
Of course the biggest troll in America had to politicize a tragedy.
Reminder: Donald J. Trump won't do anything about mass shootings. But he sure as hell would rally his supporters to the polls when the death of a white woman is committed by a person of color.
I am sorry to have to reiterate that there are serious and unpleasant consequences to crossing the Border into the United States ILLEGALLY! If there were no serious consequences, our country would be overrun with people trying to get in, and our system could not handle it!
Cristhian Rivera, 24, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder Tuesday after the body of Tibbetts, a 20-year-old University of Iowa student, was discovered in a cornfield about 12 miles southeast of Brooklyn, where she was last seen running. Police said Rivera was in the country illegally and an immigration detainer was placed on him after his arrest.
Rivera's employer, Yarrabee Farms, confirmed Tuesday that Rivera worked at the farm for four years and said Rivera passed the federal E-Verify check, which is intended to maintain a database of I-9 forms and tax records of employees across the country.
Dane Lang, one of the owners of Yarrabee Farms, said in a statement that all documents regarding Rivera’s employment have been turned over to authorities. Yarrabee Farms is owned by the family of Craig Lang, the former president of the Iowa Farm Bureau and a former GOP primary candidate to be Iowa's Secretary of Agriculture.
“E-Verify has prevented a lot of illegal aliens from getting jobs. It’s the best system out there,” former ICE acting director Thomas Homan told “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday, though he added there are ways to beat the system in “rare circumstances.”
“I would be interested to know is: Did they really run this person in E-Verify? And what failed?” he said.
Missing White Women Syndrome is the media's obsessive coverage of missing white women. Should the media cover all missing person cases equally?
Immigration officials have not confirmed to Fox News if Rivera’s identity was entered into the E-Verify database. Authorities have said he arrived to the U.S. illegally from Mexico at some point between 4 and 7 years ago.
A search of Iowa court records revealed no prior criminal history for Rivera, and it's unclear whether he'd ever been subject to prior deportation proceedings.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
E-Verify is an online system run by the U.S. government to provide employers with a way to check the eligibility status of workers. The automated system checks records from the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security to make sure an employee is legally allowed to work in the U.S.
Conservatives and white extremists are using Tibbetts as a martyr for their racist agenda.
They certainly riled up over a woman being killed by a person of color. They never seem to be riled up over a deranged white man obtaining an AR15 and massacring everyone in sight.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Looks like it's just a two-fer for the former associates of Donald J. Trump.
A federal grand jury convicted former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort of eight felonies.
Each of these charges could put the former Republican operative and Russian agent in federal time out for LIFE. The guilty plea on eight charges of financial crimes is a victory for Robert Mueller.
The jury was deadlocked on 10 other charges. Federal judge T.S. Ellis declared a mistrial on the remaining counts.
Prosecutors said that Manafort collected a hefty sum from foreign bank accounts and had made crazy purchases during that same period. The allegations include the loans from his Ukrainian political work.
Now as he is considered a felon. He will also face a second round of trial. He is also heading to Washington, DC. Manafort failed to register as a foreign agent and was doing some money laundering.
Trial is set for the fall. Big news for the Trump team. Michael Cohen flips and took a plea deal.
Missing woman Mollie Tibbetts was found dead in Iowa.
Let's start the hashtag I'm Missing Too to counter Missing White Women Syndrome. Over 7,500 people go missing. However, if you're pretty, middle class, white, girly and got a story to tell, you get massive media coverage.
The remains believed to be the missing Iowa woman were found today.
Mollie Tibbetts became the latest victim of unfortunate circumstances.
Now the search is on for who, what, where, when, why and how.
Tibbetts went missing from boyfriend's home for a jog. She disappeared during the course of a month.
Then the media coverage was extensive. From tabloid shows to cable news programs and hashtag activism, the focus soon became clear, "Where is Mollie Tibbetts?"
Did you know that Mike Pence went to visit the family of Tibbetts?
Now that month long search came to a tragic end.
Today, law enforcement found confirmation.
Now the public and of course the junk food media wants to know who killed the jogger?
The body remains were found near Guernsey, Iowa, a town that's about 10 miles from the last known disappearance. The presser is at 5pm (4pm Central Time).
Now that the search is over. The FBI and Iowa police officers are going to figure out what happened.
Michael Cohen flips and pleas guilty to federal charges.
Better grab some popcorn....Because Donald J. Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen is about to make a movie.
The former Trump fixer and body is going to take a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in regards to fraud and tax evasion. He will relinquish all his information to federal agents.
Reminder, it's alleged that Trump slept with Stormy Daniels in 2006. At the peak of the 2016 U.S. Election, Trump demanded Cohen to pay off Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
The two women accuse Trump of having flings with them. In order for Trump to quarrel a storm, he ordered Cohen to pay six-figure non-disclosure agreements.
Elliott Broidy, Donald Trump and Sean "Softball" Hannity have been named clients.
Daniels now is publicly admitting that Trump slept with her and wants all women to come forward with their stories about him.
Allegedly Trump just married Melania. He knocked her up and got bored with her. So he decided to find time with other women while she was pregnant.
Some will be given to Robert Mueller. You know that guy who is investigating the Trump campaign's ties to the Russian government.
Trump, Elliott Broidy and Sean "Softball" Hannity are going to be embarrassed. Those were the three clients who took Cohen as their lawyer. Mind you that Cohen is allegedly a guy who pays off mistresses and accusers from talking about issues involving these three clients.
Cohen will plea guilty to the court and face possible time in the federal time out.
The New York Times says that the plea agreement will assure that these unspecified charges will not be in the jury trial. Likely he will face campaign finance violations, wiretapping, tax fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud.
Cohen will surrender his passport, his electronic devices and possibly his law license.
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?
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.
Chicago is a shooting disaster-they should immediately go to STOP AND FRISK. They have no choice, hundreds of lives would be saved!
Chicago Police have every right to legally protest against the mayor and an administration that just won’t let them do their job. The killings are at a record pace and tough police work, which Chicago will not allow, would bring things back to order fast...the killings must stop!
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
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.
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."
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.
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 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 honored Aretha Franklin by using a graphic that contained a photo of Patti LaBelle. It’s probably hard for anyone who works at Fox News to tell black people apart because they’ve never worked with any.
Weird that Fox News can keep all these women straight but they manage to confuse Patti LaBelle with Aretha Franklin. There must be an explanation but I can't quite put my finger on it... pic.twitter.com/ErfAVvg64Z
Fox said, “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."
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?
