If you're getting tired of this, it's time to get out and vote. There was another mass shooting. This one in Cincinnati. This happened at a bank and it has left people dead and multiple people injured. Some were critically injured.
Another terrorist managed to take his frustrations on innocent human beings.
This happened at Fountain Square, a popular tourist destination.
Question: Will this be a local story or a national story?
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) will offer their phony thoughts and prayers.
This hits close to home. Cincinnati is where my family members stay.
You're not safe anywhere.
The shooting happened around 9am this morning and it was in the main lobby and loading dock. This happened at the Fifth Third Bank tower, one of the largest building into the city.
We don't know what happened. We cannot confirm if it was a robbery or a workplace massacre. The motives of the terrorist are unknown.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
What we are seeing is a crisis in the United States. Our country is under attack from Donald J. Trump, Republicans, right wing carnival barkers, and the NRA.
They support the genocide of our fellow Americans.
We got to vote. It's time to become aware of gun violence. It is time to keep high powered firearms out the hands of civilians.
Deflated egos. Alex Jones heckles a visibly angry Marco Rubio.
While the left was disrupting the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, the white extremist movement known as the alt-right decided to disrupt the hearings of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Uber and social dating websites.
The whiny alt-right agitators interrupt Washington.
Alex Jones and Laura Loomer of Infowars decided to show out. They were publicly banned on most social media outlets. I assume Charles Johnson of Got News and Milo Yiannopolos were there stirring up trouble as well.
The very same agitators who often troll social media are mad these private companies decide to block them, suspend them and wipe their accounts away.
Loomer shouts her lungs at a House panel. Loomer lost her official Twitter verification after she trolled Linda Sarsour, a Muslim progressive activist with racially threats. She also lost her privilege to get an Uber and Lyft after she bitched about how Muslims and immigrants ruining the ride sharing business.
Loomer often crashes events and disrupt people who made the news.
Loomer is a controversial figure. She often trolls progressives and produce controversial videos to shame individuals. She often arrested and physically assaulted for her deeds. She interrupted the House panel discussion with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
She was heard shouting pleas at Donald J. Trump "because Jack Dorsey is trying to influence the election, to sway the election, to [inaudible] Democrats steal the election."
"That is why he is censoring and shadow banning conservatives," she added.
Rep. Greg Walden (D-OR) repeatedly called for Loomer to stand down in the hearing room, or else risk her removal, Loomer continued — which is when Long stepped in with a fast-talking auctioneer chant to drown her out.
Long chanted for a few minutes as Capitol Police worked to remove Loomer from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce panel.
"I yield back," Long joked to audible laughter, as the troll was escorted from the room.

Rep. Billy Long (R-MO) was not having this nonsense. The Republican lawmaker is a former autioneer who trolled the troll.
Then later that afternoon, Jones interrupted an interview being conducted by CNBC. The network was talking to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) when Jones did an impromptu interview complaining about how Republicans are silencing Trump supporters.
It annoyed Rubio.
Laura Loomer is a white extremist who does vigilante activism. She annoys lawmakers and journalists. She is the dumbest female agitator in the junk food media. She is the female version of Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit.
NBC News reported that Rubio called Jones a "dumbass" and tried to laugh off his interruption. However, the confrontation escalated after Rubio told Jones not to touch him after Jones placed his hand on Rubio's shoulder while the senator was speaking to reporters.
"Hey, don't touch me again, man. I’m asking you not to touch me again," Rubio said.
"Well, sure, I just patted you nicely," Jones responded.
"I don't know who you are. You're not gonna get arrested man, you're not gonna get arrested, I’ll take care of it myself," Rubio said, after Jones asked if the lawmaker was going to have him arrested.
"Oh, you'll beat me up. Look at him he's so mad," Jones replied. "You're not going to silence me. You're not gonna silence America. You are a little gangster thug. Rubio just threatened to physically take care of me."
Jones and Loomer called progressives, "snowflakes" because they were upset Trump won. Now they're complaining that activism is driving them out of the mainstream.
Now if we can get rid of Tomi Lahren, Lauren Southern, Joey Salads and Ben Shapiro.
Bob Woodward's book Fear and The New York Times got Trump shook.
He believes that anonymous sources are "fake" and called the New York Times, a "failing" newspaper. He believes that the Times and CNN will be out of business. He openly bragged that if he gets reelected, he promises to see those who attack him fail.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Donald J. Trump is furious at the New York Times after it released a bombshell op-ed from an anonymous White House official. The person closely tied to the president wrote a damaging editorial about him. The Times took a rare step of publishing this. It was done at the request of the author, a senior official whose identity is known to the public and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. Now within a few weeks we will see a possible cannon firing of a top level official. We don't know who it is?
Mind you, I hate calling Trump, President of the United States.
The New York Times released this around 3pm and it has gotten Washington, DC shook.
In the piece, this senior official is known but chooses to stay anonymous out of fear of Trump's wrath.
The writer said that there is a quiet resistance within the administration of people choosing to put country first. But the real difference will be made by everyday citizens rising above politics, reaching across the aisle and resolving to shed the labels in favor of a single one: Americans.
The op-ed mention the 25th Amendment. There is an internal strife within the White House.
How can we stop [our boss] Trump from doing damage to the United States?
Here's some of the most damaging parts. The writer says that his agenda is confusing.
The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
The writer says that he is doing things repetitively and is not listening to advice.
The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.
Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright.
In addition to his mass-marketing of the notion that the press is the “enemy of the people,” President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic.
Don’t get me wrong. There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more.
But these successes have come despite — not because of — the president’s leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.
Someone is talking to the junk food media. Who is it?
From the White House to executive branch departments and agencies, senior officials will privately admit their daily disbelief at the commander in chief’s comments and actions. Most are working to insulate their operations from his whims.
Meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.
The writer complained that Trump bowing to dictators and supporting policies that are considered dangerous. Trump continues to not acknowledge the threat of Russian meddling and keeps on distracting the Mueller probe with ridiculous kookspiracies like the "deep state."
The writer said that in public and in private, President Trump shows a preference for autocrats and dictators, such as President Vladimir Putin of Russia and North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, and displays little genuine appreciation for the ties that bind us to allied, like-minded nations.
Astute observers have noted, though, that the rest of the administration is operating on another track, one where countries like Russia are called out for meddling and punished accordingly, and where allies around the world are engaged as peers rather than ridiculed as rivals.
On Russia, for instance, the president was reluctant to expel so many of Mr. Putin’s spies as punishment for the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain. He complained for weeks about senior staff members letting him get boxed into further confrontation with Russia, and he expressed frustration that the United States continued to impose sanctions on the country for its malign behavior. But his national security team knew better — such actions had to be taken, to hold Moscow accountable.
This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s the work of the steady state.
Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over.
The bigger concern is not what Mr. Trump has done to the presidency but rather what we as a nation have allowed him to do to us. We have sunk low with him and allowed our discourse to be stripped of civility.
This is a big deal. The junk food media is taking apart the piece. The op-ed says that Trump can't govern as a leader. This shows that he is senile and mentally unstable to lead.
And whoever wrote this said it best, we want civility to return back to the White House.
If Trump can't do it, I guess they rather implant Mike Pence to finish the job. Regardless of who wrote this, it's up to the American people to vote. It's very important to vote this Midterm.
Trump, Republicans and Fox News want people to stay home. Seeing how progressives are really motivated to vote this year, it gives me hope that the Congress could swing back to the Democrats.
The Democrats could slow down Trump's agenda or force him to take a balance approach to governance. They could even impeach him if he does a "Saturday Night Massacre" on Robert Mueller. Who knows?
All I know is that I'm going to vote. Are you?
Whoever wrote this better watch his (or her) back these next few weeks. The Drudge Report and Fox News is going to find ways to out the anonymous source.
Almost everyone agrees that my Administration has done more in less than two years than any other Administration in the history of our Country. I’m tough as hell on people & if I weren’t, nothing would get done. Also, I question everybody & everything-which is why I got elected!
Isn’t it a shame that someone can write an article or book, totally make up stories and form a picture of a person that is literally the exact opposite of the fact, and get away with it without retribution or cost. Don’t know why Washington politicians don’t change libel laws?
The already discredited Woodward book, so many lies and phony sources, has me calling Jeff Sessions “mentally retarded” and “a dumb southerner.” I said NEITHER, never used those terms on anyone, including Jeff, and being a southerner is a GREAT thing. He made this up to divide!
The Woodward book has already been refuted and discredited by General (Secretary of Defense) James Mattis and General (Chief of Staff) John Kelly. Their quotes were made up frauds, a con on the public. Likewise other stories and quotes. Woodward is a Dem operative? Notice timing?
Woodward fired back by getting the tape out to the junk food media. He also fingers Kellyanne Conway, Trump's most "trusted" adviser.
Reminder: when Woodward wrote the bombshell book about Barack Obama, conservative agitators wanted to have access to him. Sean "Softball" Hannity had Woodward on many times. The book, Obama's War was critical of 44.
The Obama Administration was none too happy about the book.
Woodward went into The White House and got in touch with a handful of people who are extremely close to Trump. This book got staffers at the White House shaking.
Trump angry over the book.
Some of the most damaging things that were written include staffers deliberately taking away Trump's papers to "protect the country."
The book provides a look into Trump's inner circle. He had criticized members past and present.
He even called embattled Attorney General Jeff Sessions (aka Magoo) a "mentally retarded" who is a "dumb southerner." He felt betrayed by Sessions recusing himself after he was implicated in the Russian probe.
CNN had Woodward on to discuss the book.
Woodward also wrote that Trump is obsessed with demeaning the junk food media. He is paranoid, often watching hours of cable news in the White House. He believes the junk food media is out to get him. Trump often engages in profanity laced tirades about how the media covers him. He demeans people who get on his nerves.
He was unaware that Woodward was trying to reach out to him.
Trump also called on Kellyanne Conway to explain why she didn't get in touch with him. Conway explained that she did but people above her didn't clear the interview. Trump also blamed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Graham talked to Trump about the book. Trump said he briefly heard about it.
Trump went into a repetitive rant about how he done so much in the few months than most presidents ever. He went on to trash Obama's handling of the country and said that he is making progress.
Trump also said that he fears the book will be negative.
CNN added that the book displays some of Trump's unique antics. He loves trashing people who anger him. It is that Trump enjoys humiliating others. He believes his campaign to trash Hillary Clinton is working. He calls upon his best buddy on Fox News to promote his agenda. He also aimed high at critics who talk about his victory.
Today he went after Chuck Todd.
Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake NBC News said it’s time for the Press to stop complaining and to start fighting back. Actually Chuck, they’ve been doing that from the day I announced for President. They’ve gone all out, and I WON, and now they’re going CRAZY!
Todd said that journalists should start resisting the narrative they are bias. He stated in an op-ed that if journalists should openly call out Trump, Fox News, The Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Tucker "Peckerwood" Carlson.
Todd believes that these individuals are causing an unprecedented havoc on journalism and the truth.
Woodward also noted that Trump aimed at Jay Sekalow and Rudy Giuliani, his personal attorneys.
In the wake of Michael Cohen flipping to the feds, Giuliani went on television and did a disastrous interview. Trump let him have it right to his face. You notice that Giuliani isn't on television much.
"Rudy, you're a baby. I've never seen a worse defense of me in my life. They took your diaper right off there. You're like a little baby that needed to be changed. When are you going to be a man?"
Bob Woodward says Trump is doing the same things Richard Nixon done.
He said that Barack Obama was a "weak dick" for not going past the "red line."
Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was quoted. He said that Trump was a "fucking moron."
The book mentioned that. It led to Tillerson being fired out the cannon. Tillerson left this year.
Woodward also quotes an unnamed White House official who gave an even more dire assessment of the meeting: "It seems clear that many of the president's senior advisers especially those in the national security realm, are extremely concerned with his erratic nature, his relative ignorance, his inability to learn, as well as what they consider his dangerous views."
Woodward also notes that national security officials believe Trump has an obsession with money --- trade deficits and the cost of troops overseas.
Jim Mattis, the U.S. Defense Secretary said that its best to keep Trump off the nuclear codes.
"We're doing this in order to prevent World War III."
Mattis said that Trump has the mindset of a "fifth or sixth grader."
"I think we could be so rich if we weren't stupid," Mattis being cited by Woodward. Mattis claims that Americans are being played for "suckers."
So much damaging stories in this book and I didn't get to cover all of it. Take it away Bob.
Yesterday, the confirmation hearing of Brett Kavanaugh got off. The pick of Donald J. Trump is replacing Anthony Kennedy.
Listening to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) bitch about how protesters and Democrats is sickening. These lawmakers screwed 44 over a nominee.
This nomination could inspire the Blue Wave.
It seems like this nomination could make the court swing to the right for years and possibly a generation.
Today, the Senate will give Kavanaugh a firm grilling. The Democrats will try their hardest to make this guy toxic on the court.
He already made himself toxic. His staffer Zina Bash allegedly made a "white power" gesture in the Background. Look below.
The gesture.
Kavanaugh brushed off a protester who lost his daughter in a mass shooting this year.
It seems like it was almost yesterday. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas School was the scene of a mass shooting in February. It sparked the March For Our Lives movement.
Fred Guttenberg, the father of victim Jaime Guttenberg tried to shake Kavanaugh's hand during a recess and you see the iconic photo above speaks words.
Kavanaugh is very unpopular with Americans. The Republicans are hoping to streamline this nominee through.
The Democrats are seething over the Republicans denying Barack Obama's third pick for the court. Merrick Garland was denied a seat because McConnell was a fucking sleaze and he vowed to hold the nomination up if a Democrat won the 2016 election.
He also became vilified by the right wing carnival barkers for his protest against the national anthem. Kaepernick is a modern version of civil rights in the United States.
Kaepernick is protesting against police killings. He is concerned that people of color are being killed rapidly by the police. He would kneel whenever the national anthem is played.
The attacks against Kaepernick came quickly. Cue Tami.
Only thing he has “landed” in awhile. Good to know Nike supports an “oppressed” crybaby who hates America. #smhpic.twitter.com/ALTcTEN4Vj
Nike is celebrating this a part of its "Just Do It" campaign.
The NFL season will start Thursday, and Kaepernick remains unsigned. That whole story makes the Kaepernick-Nike alliance a bit more interesting.
Kaepernick recently won the summary judgment phase of his collusion case against the NFL, which indicated arbitrator Stephen Burbank felt there was enough merit in the arguments and evidence produced by Kaepernick’s lawyers to warrant a trial in the case. It was a loss for the NFL, which has claimed there was no collusion to keep Kaepernick out of the league, although dozens of less-qualified quarterbacks have signed with teams since Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem to bring attention to social issues.
Nike is a corporate sponsor with the NFL. They provide the official jerseys for the league that Kaepernick is trying to beat in a collusion case.
White morons are burning their Nike products. They are calling for a boycott of the company for picking Kaepernick as their spokesman.
First the @NFL forces me to choose between my favorite sport and my country. I chose country. Then @Nike forces me to choose between my favorite shoes and my country. Since when did the American Flag and the National Anthem become offensive? pic.twitter.com/4CVQdTHUH4
Confirmed the embattled mayor of Chicago announced he is not running for reelection.
Rahm Emanuel's reelection team couldn't gather enough support from the community to cruise through a third term. So Emanuel is throwing in the towel clearing the way for a new mayor.
The Democratic mayor of the third largest city in the United States faced harsh criticism for the handling of gun violence in the city.
This is a huge victory for March for Lives and Black Lives Matter. They have long complained that Emanuel has failed to connect with the community.
"This has been the job of a lifetime but it is not a job for a lifetime. [On behalf Amy and I], I look forward to writing the next chapter in our journey together. I will always be here for the future of this great city. Not as mayor, but in the most important role anyone can play -- as a citizen."
The embattled mayor's announcement took place one day before the start of the trail of the dirty cop who killed LaQuan McDonald.
His city became a talking point of the right wing carnival barkers. Because of the rampant gun violence in the community, the right has often targeted people of color.
Donald J. Trump hasn't given funding to the city because Emanuel is supportive of immigration reform. Trump has launched constant attacks against Chicago claiming that he would send the national guard into the community. He would insert his "build the wall" nonsense and call for gun control only for Black folks.
Emanuel has often been tagged to Barack Obama. Emanuel was then Obama's former chief of staff.
Whenever something bad happened in Chicago, the right blamed Obama and Emanuel.
There are 12 people who are running for Chicago mayor.
Chuck Todd wrote an op-ed slamming Fox News and right wing agitators for stroking fear similar to the 1950s and 1960s.
GOP Sundays host Chuck Todd slams the right wing carnival barkers for driving up fears.
The usual suspects include that old fart Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, cuntservative Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Matt Sludge, Tucker "Peckerwood" Carlson, Breitbart, drunk ass Jeanie Pirro and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
They are still stuck in the 1990s. Todd said they're stuck in the 1950s. He says the right is cranking up the racism at unprecedent levels.
Todd says that these individuals made themselves wealthy scaring "old white people."
He is so right.
Fox News general audience is at average of 62.4 years old.
Todd said the time is now to fight against the misinformation being spread by these outrage pimps.
Portions of his op-ed cites Roger Ailes, the disgraced former president of Fox News and 21st Century Television. Todd said that Ailes driven the United States into this partisan divide. Ailes was forced out of Fox News after Gretchen Carlson sued him for sexual harassment. It opened the door to a handful of executives and personalities to be fired out the cannon.
Chuck Todd specifically singled out Sean "Softball" Hannity as one of the outrage pimps. The softball has promoted years of misinformation. Todd wants people to hold him and his allies accountable.
Currently the disgraced co-lead of Fox News Bill Shine is now a part of Trump's White House Communication team. Shine is pushing forth the kookspiracies and slander campaign right now.
"Antipathy toward the media right now has risen to a level I’ve never personally experienced before. The closest parallel in recent American history is the hostility to reporters in the segregated South in the 1950s and '60s." "Then, as now, that hatred was artificially stoked by people who found that it could deliver them some combination of fame, wealth, and power." "Some of the wealthiest members of the media are not reporters from mainstream outlets. Figures such as Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, and the trio of Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham have attained wealth and power by exploiting the fears of older white people. They are thriving financially by exploiting the very same free-press umbrella they seem determined to undermine."
Todd wants journalists to ignore the complaining from the right. He asks for the Americans to hold journalism accountable but not totally dismiss the practice as bias.
Yeah, the junk food media.
The for-profit corporations that pander controversy for ratings, shock value and antipathy.
Sloppy Steve won't be a headliner at The New Yorker's festival.
Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist and former CEO of Breitbart Media was slated to be a speaker at The New Yorker festival. Outrage ensures. Many famous entertainers warned the publication that his appearance will result in a boycott.
The controversial figure is a part of this white extremist movement known as the alt-right.
He was forced out of the White House after he leaked damaging information about Donald J. Trump and his allies to the junk food media.
Bannon also was forced off Breitbart media when the company backers Robert and daughter Rebecah Mercer stopped funding him and the right wing tabloid.
Breitbart is suffering after Sleeping Giants ran a grassroots campaign to pressure advertisers to drop the right wing tabloid for its years of promoting a racist agenda. The company had to restructure its funding.
Bannon was going to be a headliner. But today, the invite was pulled.
The CEO of the New Yorker put out this tweet.
A statement from David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, explaining his decision to no longer include Steve Bannon in the 2018 New Yorker Festival. pic.twitter.com/opayiw5GQ2
Several people who were supposed to take part in the festival, including comedian John Mulaney and filmmaker Judd Apatow, said they wouldn't attend if Bannon was there. Other prominent people, including Chelsea Clinton, tweeted that the event would be giving Bannon another platform for his ideas. New Yorker writer Kathryn Schulz tweeted that she was "beyond appalled" at Bannon's inclusion.
In his letter, Remnick said that the point of this type of "rigorous interview" is to "put pressure on the views of the person being questioned." He insisted to "interview him is not to endorse him."
But Remnick said that he has realized there is a "better way to do this" and reconsidered the interview. He also acknowledged that festival guests, unlike those interviewed on radio or for a print story, are paid an honorarium, along with money for travel and lodging.
This year's guests include Emily Blunt, Zadie Smith and Sally Yates, who Trump fired as deputy attorney general after she refused to back his initial ban on travelers from Muslim countries. The ban was advocated by Bannon, a senior White House adviser at the time.
Oakland Police release the 911 audio of the woman who infamously called 911 on Black people grilling.
The infamous white woman who called the police on a group of Black people barbecuing at Lake Meritt Park in Oakland, California is now being shame even further.
Jennifer Schulte has been placed in the freezer at Stanford University after her infamous confrontation with another white woman who called her out. The other white woman was family of one of the Black men and she whipped out the camera confronting Schulte for calling the law.
For nearly 20 minutes, Schulte was on the phone with 911 and had made several calls within a two hour period. She was so determined to get a cop out there.
She was booted off her job for the viral video.
In a portion of the audio, she acknowledged a 911 dispatcher who said believing this was a prank call said to Schulte, "I'm talking to you right now. Have you ever been to John George?"
Schulte responded with the words, "What's John George?"
Dispatcher said, "It's a mental facility."
Schulte was tearful and unapologetic.
Now dubbed "BBQ Becky", Schulte became one the many videos of white people calling the law on Black people minding their business.
Schulte was seen in this video leaving Oakland Piedmont International Airport.
Bonus for Labor Day. Two incidents that happened during the summer where white women were caught on camera calling the law on people minding their business. This white woman at a business called the law on a white man who was had a flammable trailer near a business. The white woman complains and demands he identified himself.
Another was a white woman called the law on a Black woman at a swimming pool.
Bloody weekend in Chicago, San Bernardino and Birmingham.
Gun violence doesn't take a day off in the United States. The unofficial end of summer is Labor Day and yet again, there were numerous mass shootings that only make the local news.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Enough is enough. Congress and Donald J. Trump, time's up. No one should have to live like this. There were numerous mass shootings in the United States this Labor Day weekend. Among them were in cities where minority populations are the highest. The National Rifle Association, Republicans and conservative agitators continue to promote this notion that a "good guy with a gun" will stop a threat. Unfortunately, a good guy with a gun could also be killed by the police.
Regardless of what is said, Trump and his allies will not move the needle on gun reform. Speak of that, Tuesday, Brett Kavanaugh will be going through his vetting for the Supreme Court. Obviously, Trump picked this guy for a reason. This guy will uphold controversial laws that keep firearms in the hands of crazy ass people.
People who will use their Second Amendment rights to murder fellow Americans.
Birmingham, Alabama
At least seven people were shot when a terrorist opened fire at a teen party in the city. This was at the Birmingham WorkPlay. The police said gunfire errupted outside the event venue when the party was preparing to end.
The injured include a 20 year old man and about seven teens. The party was being hosted by a high school sorority.
Two teens got into a heated dispute and then shots rang out.
Police say that one of the injured is in custody.
Kay Ivey, Richard Shelby, Doug Jones and Trump won't do nothing other than offer their "thoughts and prayers" to this senseless act of violence. Of course, conservatives will find someone other than the shooter to blame.
Birmingham is populated with 269,000 residents. It has a majority Black population. Obviously, hint, hint. Black president, Black leaders on television and the need for gun control (only in the case of Black men obtaining them).
San Bernardino, California
Outside an apartment complex, eight people were shot after a craps game goes awry. A 17 year old teen is in grave condition, while two other victims are likely going to die. The other victims were injured with life altering injuries.
Police said that 10 people were shot, most of the victims were adults.
Neighbors heard multiple shots ring out. One witness said that there were at least 15 to 20 gunshots fired in rapid succession.
The terrorist who shot upon the people is still on the loose and the law is hoping that people will finger this individual out.
The city of San Bernardino has a population of 224,000 residents. This area was the scene of the mass shooting in 2014. A city employee and his wife opened fire on fellow co-workers after being inspired by the Islamic State and constant taunts from one of the victims.
The terrorist and his wife became international news coverage when the feds busted down their door and raided their home. A reporter went through their stuff and showed personal pictures of family members and their social security numbers.
During that time, Barack Obama called for gun reform. It was met with criticism, NRA attacks and claims of government takeover.
Four years later, nothing is being done.
Chicago
There is a protest against Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois governor Bruce Rauner.
Also five lives were killed in the latest round of violence despite Chicago Police being more active in the streets. The city had a rough Labor Day weekend.
Over 30 people were shot in the weekend alone.
The majority of the mass shootings were happening on the city's south and west quadrants.
The areas are food deserts, deteriorating neighborhoods and emergency crews have trouble trying to find victims. Most victims are often shot in areas where resources are low.
The last newsworthy mass shooting in the Chicago area was the August 3-5 weekend.
The city is demanding Congress find solutions to stopping gun violence.
Of course, Republicans will place the blame on Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel and Democrats.
Murder victim's father tells Donald Trump and his allies to back off using his daughter as a scapegoat in their war against immigrants.
The man who is being held on the murder of Mollie Tibbetts isn't going to get a fair trial because of the media politicizing her death. Her family gave a warning shot to those who think its right to use her name in the 2018 Midterms.
The father of the murdered woman penned an op-ed in the Des Moines Register. Rob Tibbetts, I salute you and hope the best. I don't offer prayers and condolences. For you see, you don't know me personally. I rather see that the person who killed your daughter gets convicted and sentenced for his actions. Although it will not bring your daughter back and the man who killed her will lose the opportunity to see his daughter grow up, I want you to know that forgiveness is hard.
I had to forgive the mother of my child for not telling me that she had my son four months after she gave birth. It was extremely hard, but I slowly move forward knowing that my son will not harbor the anger of those who exploit death of innocent people for political pawns. As you said it best:
Mollie Tibbetts was nobody's victim. Nor is she a pawn in others' debate
Rob specifically aimed at Donald Trump, Jr., the son of America's dumbest leader, Donald J. Trump is embarking on a campaign that will uses Tibbetts and her murderer as scapegoats.
The Register got the goods and its certainly a rabble rousing opinion about the state of politics.
[Our] family set out to celebrate Mollie’s extraordinary life and chose to share our sorrow in private. At the outset, politicians and pundits used Mollie’s death to promote various political agendas. We appealed to them and they graciously stopped. For that, we are grateful. Sadly, others have ignored our request. They have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt Mollie’s tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed. I encourage the debate on immigration; there is great merit in its reasonable outcome. But do not appropriate Mollie’s soul in advancing views she believed were profoundly racist. The act grievously extends the crime that stole Mollie from our family and is, to quote Donald Trump Jr., "heartless" and "despicable."
What Rob was referring to was the previous op-ed made by Donnie criticizing the Democrats, weak Republicans and the junk food media for not getting on board with the imbecile's "strong arm" immigration policies.
He also opened up about bow the junk food media turned his daughter's death into a circus. He said that there's thousands of other missing people in the country that never got the coverage his daughter gotten.
He added, "The person who is accused of taking Mollie’s life is no more a reflection of the Hispanic community as white supremacists are of all white people. To suggest otherwise is a lie. Justice in my America is blind. This person will receive a fair trial, as it should be. If convicted, he will face the consequences society has set. Beyond that, he deserves no more attention.
America's biggest troll exploits Mollie Tibbetts' death for a few political talking points.
To the Hispanic community, my family stands with you and offers its heartfelt apology. That you’ve been beset by the circumstances of Mollie’s death is wrong. We treasure the contribution you bring to the American tapestry in all its color and melody. And yes, we love your food.
My stepdaughter, whom Mollie loved so dearly, is Latina. Her sons — Mollie’s cherished nephews and my grandchildren — are Latino. That means I am Hispanic. I am African. I am Asian. I am European. My blood runs from every corner of the Earth because I am American. As an American, I have one tenet: to respect every citizen of the world and actively engage in the ongoing pursuit to form a more perfect union.
Given that, to knowingly foment discord among races is a disgrace to our flag. It incites fear in innocent communities and lends legitimacy to the darkest, most hate-filled corners of the American soul. It is the opposite of leadership. It is the opposite of humanity. It is heartless. It is despicable. It is shameful.
We have the opportunity now to take heed of the lessons that Mollie, John McCain and Aretha Franklin taught — humanity, fairness and courage. For most of the summer, the search for Mollie brought this nation together like no other pursuit. There was a common national will that did transcend opinion, race, gender and geography. Let’s not lose sight of that miracle. Let’s not lose sight of Mollie.
The suspect is held on murder charges and will likely get LIFE if convicted.
Instead, let’s turn against racism in all its ugly manifestations both subtle and overt. Let’s turn toward each other with all the compassion we gave Mollie. Let’s listen, not shout. Let’s build bridges, not walls. Let’s celebrate our diversity rather than argue over our differences. I can tell you, when you’ve lost your best friend, differences are petty and meaningless.
My family remains eternally grateful to all those who adopted Mollie so completely and showered us with so much care, compassion and generosity. Please accept our desire to remain private as we share our loss. We love Mollie with all our hearts and miss her terribly. We need time."
Trust me, his words will fall on deaf ears.
Dan Patrick, the buffoon lieutenant governor of Texas, that old fart Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Tucker "Peckerwood" Carlson and Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis used Mollie's name in their attacks against the Democrats.
Dog whistle politics is the only thing Republicans got. And hopefully, they weapon will be their undoing.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He will face up to LIFE in the iron college. He was an undocumented worker who allegedly got upset over Mollie rejecting his advances.
