9/11: We Honor!

From the Brooklyn Bridge, the September 11th attacks.
Another year.

Every year, Americans reflect on the terrorist attack in 2001 and 2012. We will never forget the day that America was attacked. The worst incident in American history happened on September 11, 2001.

Like most days, this is supposed to be a day of peace and tranquility. Nope.

Gun violence continues.

People don't care.

Death happens.

We still are more divided than ever.
The world saw the Twin Towers collapse. I was only 20 years old when it happened.
The 9/11/2001 attack was committed by operatives inspired by a foreign terrorist group, al-Qaeda. Every year, the victims names are read.

Nearly 3,000 lives were lost on that day. Since that day nearly 10,000 people that were affected have died because of cancer-like symptoms and traumatic injuries.

Donald J. Trump will head to Shanksville, Pennsylvania with Melania.

Mike Pence, Jim Mathis and John Kelly will speak at the Pentagon.

Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio will make comments at the site of Freedom Plaza the former site of the World Trade Center.

The incident happened nine months into George W. Bush's first term as president. It led to the longest conflict in world history. Trump is the current leader of the military efforts to uproot the Taliban and operatives of al-Qaeda.

The war in Afghanistan is the longest active conflict. It's still ongoing with no signs of dying down.
Andy Card delivers the news to George W. Bush.
The war has cost countless lives and netted no success. The two founding members of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zahari were already secured in Pakistan. On their way out, they recruited poor farmers and illiterate boys to fight against the occupiers.

It took almost 10 years to find the spokesman of the terrorist group.

In May 2011, Barack Obama ordered a impromptu attack on a compound in Pakistan. The order was to seek out the financier and backer of the attack. Osama bin Laden, the co-founder and spokesman of al-Qaeda was killed.

The death of bin Laden has not stopped the war in Afghanistan.

Republicans demonized Democrats for years. Operatives of the party exploited 9/11 as a ploy to win votes. The "Never Forget" and "God Bless America" themes propelled Bush to popularity. To this day, many conservatives dismiss the notion that Bush was responsible for 9/11.

Some blame Bill Clinton and Barack Obama for the attack. They repeat the talking point that Democrats are soft on terrorism, crime and won't say hype words like "radical Islam."
Somerset County, Pennsylvania after Flight 93 crashed. 
The attack has also spiked hatred in the country. Right wing carnival barkers led a bigoted campaign against Muslims. It created the Patriot Act, a law that stripped portions of our freedoms to protect our transportation and cyberspace.

Ir also lead to the opening of the Guantanamo Bay detention center. Those held in the camp are not being charged with criminal acts but are being detained indefinitely without merit.

One operative, Khalid Sheihk Mohammad was caught in Pakistan and was tortured and brutalized by the American military. To this day, he said that his detainment in the military camp is a violation of human rights.

History has often distorted.

The Benghazi attack became the talking point of Republicans. Much like 9/11, Republicans exploited the attack to demonize Barack Obama during his reelection campaign. It was effective in Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016.

The attack in Benghazi, Libya by a militia group with extremist ties killed U.S. ambassador J. Christopher Steele and three CIA operatives.

The incident was on September 11th of 2012. This attack on foreign soil has been used by Republicans to scapegoat Obama and Clinton. To this day, Republicans forget that under their watch, we had the worst attack in history.

The operatives involved were captured. They are facing the DEATH CARD in the terrorist attack. They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The Pentagon after Flight 77. The September 11th attacks.
At 8:46 am, a commercial airliner crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Flight 11.

At 9:03 am, a second airliner crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Flight 175.

About 9:30 am, George W. Bush had responded to the attacks with an abrupt departure from Florida.

At 9:37 am, the third commercial airliner crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Flight 77.

At 9:59 am, the South Tower collapsed.

At 10:07 am, the fourth and final airliner crashed into a countryside near the borough of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Flight 93.

At 10:28 am, the North Tower collapsed. The World Trade Center twin towers were destroyed and the skyline was filled with debris and smoke.

At 5:20 pm, the final World Trade Center building collapsed. This building sparked the kookspiracy that the destruction was a controlled demolition and sparked the rise of right wing carnival barker Alex Jones.

At 8:30 pm, Bush delivered an address to the nation from The White House. Bush called the attacks "evil, despicable acts of terror" and declaring that America, its friends and allies would "stand together to win the war against terrorism."

Nia Franklin Is Miss America!

Nia Franklin is Miss America.
Gretchen Carlson, the former Fox News host turned activist is now the CEO of the Miss America pageant. Her impact was controversial but it was successful to say the least.

For one, the trolls were upset that the swimsuit competition was eliminated. Two a Black woman won the title squashing all those alt-right fantasies of a white goddess riding to victory.

This time I actually can be proud.

Nia Imani Franklin was crowned Miss America 2019. She edged out the 50 fellow competitors at the Sunday night performance in Atlantic City.

"I feeling really blessed right now. I want to thank God because without him I wouldn't be standing here. It took a lot of perseverance to get here and I just want to thank my beautiful family for coming, my mom and dad, who's a survivor of cancer, and I love him so much. I want to thank all of my sisters behind me. We've had a wonderful week together, and I love each and every one of you."

She is a Black woman and she represents New York.




I am proud for once to see a pageant give women of color an opportunity to be the representative of the world.

So what I am hoping for next is a woman of Hispanic/Latina heritage. A woman who is Muslim. A woman who is Native American. A woman who is of Asian American/Pacific Islander decent. A woman who has a special need or disability. A single mother could be Miss America. A woman who is a little chubby could be Miss America. All women are beautiful and its a slow step in the right direction.

ABC hosted the Miss America Pageant.

A far cry from Miss Universe which was then own by Donald J. Trump, the world's most incompetent leader.

Serena Williams: You Owe Me An Apology!

Serena Williams visibly upset with umpire Carlos Ramos after she was flagged for coaching. The controversial call and remarks made by Williams gave her opponent Naomi Osaka the victory.
After a controversial call at the U.S. Open, Serena Williams' opponent Naomi Osaka won the finals.

Williams was not happy with the call from umpire Carlos Ramos.

The controversy started from Ramos accusing Williams of "coaching" from Patrick Mouratoglou in the second set of the match.

Williams immediately stopped in the middle of the set and went to the umpire and called him out. She said that was not receiving coaching and that she would "rather lose" than cheat. Williams would soon get a second violation when she smashed her racket in frustration. She lost a point due to the violation, causing the player to argue with Ramos again about the initial penalty.
Naomi Osaka always wanted to take on a legend like Serena Williams.
"I didn't get coaching," Williams said. "I don't cheat! I didn't get coaching. How can you say that? You owe me an apology. I have never cheated in my life!"

The third violation issued by Ramos was verbal abuse. That came on the point where Williams called the umpire a thief. It lead to an automatic game lose.

"You will never, ever, ever be on another court of mine as long as you live. You are the liar. When are you going to give me my apology? You owe me an apology. Say it. Say you're sorry...And you stole a point from me. You're a thief, too!"

Some are saying that Serena is right on this one. The U.S. Open referees have faced sexism accusations.
Naomi Osaka's victory is a first. She is the first woman to represent Japan in the U.S. Open Women's final.
An official was slammed when Alize Cornet was hit with a code violation after she took off her shirt briefly during a match. U.S. Open watchers on social media were quick to point out that male tennis players take off their shirts to change attire during matches.

Williams also faced a stiff fine for that. She was told that will be fined $17,000 for the remarks.

Williams remarked that if she was a male player, it wouldn't be much of an issue.

Billie Jean King was not happy about the controversy. She took to social media to slam the U.S. Open and it conduct towards women.
Ramos is a "gold-badge" umpire. He officiated the men's singles finals at all four of the Grand Slam tournaments, and he also presided over the 2012 men's Olympic singles.

Ramos has gotten some support.

Many are saying that Ramos sabotaged the game. The video circulating shows Serena Williams arguing with Ramos and it doesn't show anything like what you're seeing below here.



Now you tell me, is there sexism or a hint of racism in the decisions made on Saturday?

The WTA (Women's Tennis Association) and its president, Steve Simon wrote a blistering statement on the matter.
Australian cartoonist drew an op-ed cartoon depicting Williams as a baboon.
"Yesterday's U.S. Open final resulted in the crowning of a deserving new champion, Naomi Osaka. The WTA applauds Naomi for her tremendous accomplishment."

"Yesterday also brought to the forefront the question of whether different standards are applied to men and women in the officiating of matches. The WTA believes that there should be no difference in the standards of tolerance provided to the emotions expressed by men vs. women and is committted to working with the sport to ensure that all players are treated the same. We do not believe that this was done last night."

The New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch. He is the founder of the right wing toilet known as Fox News.
"We also think the issue of coaching needs to be addressed and should be allowed across the sport. The WTA supports coaching through its on-court coaching rule, but further review is needed."

"Yesterday's match showcased one of the tennis's new stars as well as one of the greatest players of the game. We look forward to more thrilling matches between these great athletes and hope that what we all witnessed yesterday never happens again."

Serena Williams also slammed the junk food media for ignoring the victory of her opponent.

The whole ordeal overshadowed Naomi Osaka's first ever U.S. Open Women's Championship.
Osaka is born of Japanese and Haitian decent. She is the first woman from America to represent Japan in her first U.S. Open victory.
Osaka was born to a Japanese mother and a Haitian father. She resides in Florida and was the first woman from Japan to win the U.S. Open. Osaka and her sister Mari were given their mother's maiden name as a customary to Japanese culture.

She is considered Japanese/Haitian American. She has dual citizenship with Japan and the United States.

Osaka's mother had a decade long fallout with her family over her relationship with a Black man.

Osaka said that when she visit her family, they said people are confused that they see a Japanese name on a black girl.

Les Moonves Fired Out The Cannon!

CBS fired its boss. Les Moonves was ousted from the board after a dozen women came forth with stories about this monster luring women into sexual favors.
You noticed that powerful men have fallen.

Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Matt Lauer, Louis CK, Bill O'Reilly, Russell Simmons, Mario Batali, Charlie Rose, Kevin Spacey, Roger Ailes, Roy Moore, Al Franken, John Conyers, Larry Nassar, Brett Ratner, Steve Wynn and many others have fallen because of the #MeToo Movement.

Also who are suffering because of #MeToo inlcude:

R. Kelly, Morgan Freeman, Sylvester Stallone, Anthony Anderson, Woody Allen and Urban Meyer faced the #MeToo/Time's Up shame as well.

Asia Argento, the Italian actress who accused Weinstein of rape years ago is also under fire herself.

Now Les Moonves joins the list of high profiled celebrities toppled by the activist movement.


A dozen women claimed the CBS top brass sexually harassed and assaulted them. The highest profile CEO in the business of television, news and movies was forced out.

Moonves wanted Janet Jackson blacklisted from radio and television after the 2004 Superbowl Halftime debacle.
Ronan Farrow has brought down another powerhouse.

CBS has formally fired Les Moonves out the cannon on Monday. Effective 12pm, Moonves will have no impact on the company.

Moonves had control of CBS, its news and entertainment division, Viacom, National Amusements, Showtime, The CW and MTV.

Moonves who is married to Julie Chen, the host of The Talk and Big Brother will discuss her husband today. Assured she will address the #MeToo Movement and how she has consider her husband being called a "predator."
Ronan Farrow said that NBC sat on the Harvey Weinstein accusations for nearly a year. He was going to do a report on the disgraced media mogul when he was then a host on MSNBC. He had gotten a number of powerful figures. Donald Trump still continues on as the 45th President of the United States.

CBS will offer a buyout and a portion of it estimated at $20 million will go to charity groups. Moonves should have been fired out the cannon without a dollar.

There were 12 women including actress Illeana Douglas claiming that Moonves would blacklist them if they refused sexual favors.

Moonves vowed to destroy Janet Jackson's career after the 2004 Superbowl Halftime show scandal.

Jackson who performed with Justin Timberlake finished their performance for Pepsi and CBS. Her pierced nipple was exposed for a brief second and it forced the FCC to fine CBS affiliates. Moonves was so angry, he ordered everyone in the CBS company to blacklist Jackson.

Now his career and possibly marriage is destroyed.

The law enforcement agencies haven't opened an investigation. If they do, Moonves would face criminal charges.

Dirty Cop Served In The Murder Of Botham Jean!

Dirty cop being charged for manslaughter.

The Dallas County prosecutor had decided to indict the dirty cop who killed an unarmed Black man inside his own apartment. The cop, Amber Guyger returned from shift and entered the wrong apartment, she claims.

The white cop is identified and will be likely charged with manslaughter. The charge carries 15 to LIFE in the iron college. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Botham Jean was murdered in cold blood.

Someone on social media leaked the name to the public. They also shared a video of the cop in full uniform crying into her phone in an apartment block. She is heard screaming "oh god" into the phone before she dashes out of view.

All Lives Matter.
Dallas Police initially said they would seek her arrest but then handed the case over to the Texas Rangers in order for an unbiased investigations. The Texas Rangers postponed seeking a warrant for manslaughter charges, saying they needed more time to investigate the evidence.

Guyger had shot another person in 2017. She claimed the suspect took her Taser. The victim, Uvaldo Perez, was shot in the abdomen, but survived and sentenced to a few years for drug charges. His conviction could be overturned.

She claimed that she went into the wrong apartment and shot a man. She believed the victim's apartment was hers when she entered.

The hand gesture. 
The responding officers came within five minutes and rushed Botham Jean to the hospital. He would soon die at the local hospital. Botham was an accountant who grew up in St. Lucia. He would attended Harding University in Arkansas and worked for the firm PwC.

The chief of Dallas Police, U. Renee Hall said that she didn't want to speculate race or fatigue as a factor.

Some on social media has found some images that display a possible bias.

Botham was regarded by neighbors and family as guy with an infectious smile. He was a devout Christian and a talented singer. His mother slammed the cop for taking her son away.

Allison Jean felt that Guyger was just negligent. Had her son been white, the response would have been fast and he would be alive today.

Drake And Meek Mill Squash The Beef!


It's official.

The 6 God and Meek squashed their beef. Drake and Meek Mill had traded bars on mixtapes and albums since that summer of 2015.

At a performance in Boston, Drake had introduced Meek Mill.

View the video here.



The summer of 2015 was brutal to Meek Mill.

He made allegations that Drake had ghostwriters to his most popular songs. Drake went into the studio and recorded two songs that proven to be devastating to the Philly rapper.

It even cost him a relationship with Nicki Minaj, Drake's frequent collaborator.
Amen.
Drake is currently engaged in a feud with Pusha T and possibly Eminem. The two rappers have publicly dissed the 6 God.

King Push had the most brutal diss on Drake. The Story of Adidon opened up Drake to confessing that he had a child from a former girlfriend.

Kanye West had apologized for the Push feud but so far, Drake hasn't responded to Push but accepted.

Here's the two rappers playing a game of ping-pong.

Body On Ya!

Feud brewing between rap divas. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have let their feud escalate.
Pink Friday and Bodak Yellow square off at NYFW. The two rap divas show the world that female rappers are just as gangsta. The two squared off and one was left embarrassed.

If this feud gets out of hand, someone might get killed.

At New York Fashion Week, rap goddesses Nicki Minaj and Cardi B got into an altercation where it left the new mom with a wilt on her forehead.

There is conflict between the two. Sometime ago, like a year ago, the two were getting along just fine.



Cardi B was removed from the Harper's Bazaar ICONS party on Friday after she was caught on camera throwing her pumps at Nicki Minaj.

The rapper/singer was pummeled and had a huge lump on her head. Someone captured the altercation on camera. Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar (aka Cardi B) was upset that Onika Maraj (aka Nicki Minaj) was lying about her.
Cardi B was injured in the altercation.
Security blocked Cardi B from getting into Nicki's face and that's when she took off her shoe and lunged it at her. It missed. But the security managed to tackle her and shoved her out event. The red dress she was wearing was ripped and it exposed her buttocks.

She went to social media promising her fans that a rap diss is a coming.

Page Six said that the two had a feud brewing for months. The two apparently dissed each other on the Migos song Motorboat. The two claimed at one point they weren't feuding.

This incident certainly incites the rumors.





Now here's Motorspot. The alleged song where both entertainers were dissing each other.

What Happened To Botham Jean?

Dallas cop kills a man after she broke into his home.
A female cop is in the freezer after she shot and killed a man after she entered the wrong home.

Apparently the cop shot and killed Botham Shem Jean after walking into the wrong apartment in her building in Dallas, Texas. The cop ran into a man who she didn't recognized. She shot him.

A man who had a bright future.




She would call 911 and the police arrive.

The 26 year old man was badly injured. He would later die at a local hospital. Now the Dallas Police are considering charging this bad cop with manslaughter. The cop hasn't been named yet but I can tell you that the police union and conservative agitators will rush to her defense.

Botham was a businessman from a Saint Lucian family of parliamentarians who was shot and killed by a white female Dallas police officer who authorities say accidentally went into Jean’s apartment, thinking it was her own.

It is unclear what happened immediately before the shooting. Officials said that they do not know how the officer got into Jean's home, or whether the front door was open or unlocked.

"Right now, there are more questions than we have answers," Dallas police chief U. Renee Hall said at a press conference.

Hall said she did not know where the officer was. It is unclear whether she is in custody. 

Jean worked for accountancy giant PricewaterhouseCoopers, which said that people at the firm were "heartbroken" following his death.

Jean grew up in St Lucia and was a graduate of Harding University in Arkansas, where he was known for his love of singing and for leading services in the university chapel.

"Botham was in the prime of his life," Ignatius Jean, Jean's uncle, said.

He added that the killing had left Jean's relatives in St Lucia devastated and that Jean was a "brilliant" man of "impeccable character".

"You want to think it's fiction... and you have to grapple with the reality", he said.

The Texas Rangers, a department which investigates crime across the state, will conduct an independent investigation into Jean's death, police said.

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
