Mass shooting in Maryland at a Rite Aid Distribution Center.
Just another day, just another mass shooting in the United States. This time in Maryland.
Expect Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Larry Hogan, Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) to offer their phony sympathy along with thoughts and prayers. They will offer a word vomit of how to stop the threat. They will say its up to you to do something about gun violence.
The NRA's remedy to stopping a mass shooter is a "good guy with a gun." This is bullshit. In a mass shooting, a gunman and a good guy with a gun are considered an active gunman in the eyes of law enforcement. Who could be shot in this gunfight? Will it be the gunman or the good guy. A cop see an active shooter threat so it wouldn't matter.
Again in the Baltimore metro area. Just last week, there was a mass shooting at a funeral for a man slain by gun violence. Another man was killed.
This happened at a business in Hartford County.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This time in Maryland. The shooter was caught. Who takes the blame for this?
Multiple people have been shot at a warehouse in Aberdeen.
This was a warehouse distribution center that houses Clorox, Zenith and Rite Aid distributors.
The FBI, ATF and Maryland authorities are actively accessing the area.
They have no details on the terrorist or the motive.
Rite Aid distribution center.
The Congress will not do anything to curb gun violence. The Republicans are hoping that Americans will come out to vote for their policies. They want to keep the "status quo" in the United States.
About 94 people are killed a day by firearms and yes it's a problem.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP SEEING THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN, SUPPORT THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION AND THOSE WHO TAKE DONATIONS FROM THEM. REPUBLICANS ARE ENDANGER OF LOSING CONGRESS. THEY HAVE NO PLANS ON CHANGING THE NARRATIVE TO SAVE LIVES. IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD. GUN VIOLENCE SHOULDN'T BE THE NORMAL. WE NEED TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION. REGISTER TO VOTE. VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE THAT SUPPORTS REASONABLE GUN REFORM.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This happened in Masontown Borough, Pennsylvania.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This time it's in rural Pennsylvania inside a courtroom.
The terrorist opened fire at a Pennsylvania courthouse on Wednesday. The terrorist was scheduled for hearing on domestic violence and assault charges.
Four people were shot at the municipal building that house the Fayette County Magistrate Court in Masontown.
The gunman entered the lobby after 2pm and began shooting with a handgun.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This time in Pennsylvania. The shooter was caught. Who takes the blame for this?
A police officer was shot in the hand by the terrorist.
Sgt. R. Scott Miller was the officer who tried to stop the threat. After the officer took cover, the gunman continued to enter the building where he shot two men and one female.
The terrorist didn't get at the bailiffs or the judge, Daniel Shimshock.
The courtroom took cover after shots were fired.
Another place where you can't be safe.
A county boy put an end to the terrorist and rush to aid the victims.
As usual Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Tom Wolf, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) will offer their phony thoughts and prayers to the victims. They will offer a word vomit of how to stop the threat. They will say its up to you to do something about gun violence.

Another mass shooting in the United States. This happened at software company in Madison, Wisconsin.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This one happened in the suburbs of Madison, Wisconsin. This is event happened at a software company and it's the latest mass shooting that gets some national news. Almost every mass shooting either had something to do with a NICE GUY and a firearm.
At least five people were wounded in Middleton.
The motive for the shooting is unknown but it's the same old formula.
The NICE GUY was spurned by some event (i.e. fired from a job, domestic violence, romantic relationship, legal issue, religion, health issue and/or political motive).
Authorities managed to stop the terrorist from killing more people.
The FBI and local authorities are trying to piece together the name of the terrorist, what his relationship with the company WTS Paradigm.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This happened in the suburbs of Madison, Wisconsin. The shooter was caught. Who deserves the blame for this?
Police have no details on the injured.
As expected, Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) will offer their phony thoughts and prayers. They will say the usual platitudes about how gun violence cannot be solved without you doing something.
The NRA will continue to push that ridiculous narrative that a "good guy with a gun" will stop a threat.
We see this time after time.
The Congress will not do anything to curb gun violence. The Republicans are hoping that Americans will come out to vote for their policies. They want to keep the "status quo" in the United States.

There was also a shooting on a public bus. The terrorist allegedly shot a person on a bus near the public schools. This prompt a major lockdown of three high schools. The terrorist involved in this incident is on the loose.
The Sears Holding Group announced the latest round of closings in the United States and Canada. Once again, Dayton and the Miami Valley area was hit with another round of bad news.
Sears announced that The Mall at Fairfield Commons will be a part of its latest round of closures. Around mid-december, Sears will close its location. The Washington Prime Group, Inc. announced two tenants will replace Sears upon its closure.
Right.
I am going to say this with no remorse.
The malls are dead.
By 2025, malls could be extinct. The foot traffic is down and Americans are getting purchases from Walmart, TJ Maxx, Kroger and Amazon. They are not shopping inside the air conditioned malls.
I believe it's the end of the line for malls here in Dayton. To see a company go out of business is sad. It's a part of the norms in a Donald J. Trump economy.
The Dayton Mall and Mall at Fairfield Commons made huge mistakes when it came to customer service. They practically driven the shoppers away.
The bus line was pushed away from the front entrance. People with disablities will not shop at a business that restricts access for them. The malls enacted their curfew rules to keep young shoppers from loitering and hanging out.
That keep foot traffic down. The mall was the spot for teens.
Technology has changed the service industry. Young people don't have to leave home to get a purchase.
Dayton is struggling.
Matter of fact, they don't have to visit a mall to buy books, video games, food delivery, toys and the sense of hangout. They have Uber, Facebook, Amazon and Match.com.
Malls are trying to convert vacant space into lifestyle centers to at least survive the decline. The Dayton Mall is experimenting with it. Same with the Fairfield Commons.
Sears Holdings is struggling and it is considered "dead store walking." The company is in dire straits. It is on the verge of bankruptcy and it could impact our economy.
The fall of Sears could trigger a recession. Retail apocalypse is real. With the demise of retail, it could impact millions of middle class Americans.
You might have to travel to Columbus if you want to visit a Sears or Kmart location.
Sears is going to close the Upper Valley Mall Springfield location soon.
There are 12 Kmart stores in the state and none are in Dayton.
The Mall of Fairfield Commons and Dayton Mall are part of the Washington Prime Group.
In the picture, comedian Sheryl Underwood, writer Sara Gilbert, reality television host Sharon Osbourne, rapper/model Eve and Julie Chen, the host of Big Brother.
You might want to sit down for this one.
Julie Chen is reportedly leaving CBS. That means her hosting duties with Big Brother and The Talk are over. She is angry with CBS and the decision to fire her husband Les Moonves out the cannon.
The #MeToo Movement has hit the corporate boardroom.
Chen who hosted Big Brother since 2000.
Chen stood firm in supporting her disgraced husband. On the recent taping of Big Brother she signed off as Julie Chen Moonves. Many people were shocked to see she is firm in standing by her man despite having 13 accusers.
Chen is like Camilla Cosby, Hillary Clinton and Melania Trump. She is content with her husband's behavior.
Chen started The Talk with Roseanne/The Conners star Sara Gilbert. She along with Gilbert teamed up with Sharon Osbourne to create a powerhouse in daytime talk. It has been competing with The View and has slightly pulled ahead in ratings.
Chen had a reportedly a feud with Marrisa Jaret Winokur, Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete. They were fired out the cannon after on air and backstage controversies. Sharon Osbourne stood by Chen prompting Remini and Robinson Peete to sever ties with her and replacement host Sheryl Underwood.
Chen was described as a "diva" and "boss" on the set. When people pissed her off, she would ban them and ruin them.
Similar to Les Moonves and his Janet Jackson feud.
Chen has ties to Dayton, Ohio. She was an anchor on WDTN, a local NBC affiliate.
She told stories of a station manager who said racially offensive comments about her looks. She said the station manager sexually harassed her.
CBS has fired Moonves and it's senior executive producer for the news program 60 Minutes.
Julie Chen stands by her man.
Jeff Fager was fired out the cannon after he sent CBS reporter Jericka Duncan a series of threatening text messages in regards to her. Fager was upset over her reporting on the allegations he had done while he was executive producer of the 60 minutes program.
Fager was accused by five women of inappropriate behavior. He was also threatening staffers and making it a hostile work environment.
Fager denied the allegations and said his text messages were taken out of contact.
CBS is cleaning up their act and is working to hire more women and people of color to ease allegations of a boardroom that was white, male and the status quo.
CBS may replace Chen after she violated her contractual obligations to The Talk. Her days hosting Big Brother are coming to an end.
In short, I will say good riddance to Julie Chen and her disgusting behavior.
YouTube user YourWorld who we often use on our blog had said that Asian women often flaunt their racism towards Black women. They do it worse than white women. The Asian community often see Black people as inferior. Biracial children, especially Asian-black or Asian-Latino are shamed by conservative Asians.
Tennis star Naomi Osaka is half Black and half Japanese. She was regarded as a white woman in an offensive caricature slamming Serena Williams after loss in the U.S. Open Women's final. Her mother's family dismissed her for nearly 10 years.
Asian women who date Black men are often shamed or cut out the family. The conservative Asian community often look at this a race mixing.
Julie Chen was a nobody from Ohio. She moved to Los Angeles to find a career. She met Les Moonves when he was a married man. They dated while he was married. Two weeks after he filed for divorce, they married. She found a sugar daddy.
The feds and local authorities are after a crazed man who is a credible threat to Donald J. Trump. This terrorist want to assassinate the President of the United States and he doesn't care if he is killed.
Somewhere near Mansfield, Ohio, this terrorist was spotted in the area prompting the U.S. Marshals, Richland County boys, Mansfield Police and the Secret Service to issue an emergency to locals.
The terrorist is from Pennsylvania and is on the run.
They found an abandoned truck that was believed to be stolen.
Police are investigating a crash late Sunday afternoon near Mansfield on Interstate 71/
This terrorist stole the vehicle from Luzere County, Pennsylvania.
The terrorist made a clear threat to Trump which prompted authorities.
"I promise I'll put a buleet in your head as soon as I put one in the head of President Donald J. Trump," said the terrorist in one post aimed at Northampton County Attorney John Morganelli.
There is a bounty of $20,000 if someone spots him without being harmed.
Again, I don't like Donald J. Trump. I can't stand him. But I wish no harm upon him, Vice President Mike Pence, their families and those associated with them. We want to be an honest resistance to Trump and his allies.
There are 125,000 residents in the city of Wilmington, North Carolina.
The city is pretty much cut off from the United States.
The remnants of Hurricane Florence has caused $35 billion in damages.
The Wilmington Police are aware of it and the company that suffered didn't want to press charges. A Family Dollar was looted by a handful of individuals who were trying to survive. The Drudge Report seized upon the pictures and thought it necessary to rile up white people.
What the right wing carnival barker Matt Drudge done this weekend is an example of Republican Party ongoing assault on the middle class.
As you know, The Drudge Report is a controversial far right website that aggregates racism, Islamophobia and homophobia. The picture above is clearly an attempt to sensationalized criminality and racism.
If you can't escape the city because of massive flooding, you have to survive by any means necessary.
The Drudge Report and the junk food media is ridiculous.
A local Family Dollar store was looted because there no electric, no gas, no food and no saviors for those who are too poor to find higher ground.
Fuck what the folks are saying.
I rather steal to feed my family than die starving.
Just like Hurricane Harvey and Maria, Florence was as costly disaster. It was a terrible storm that displaced millions and destroyed lives and properties.
Long Island mother who advocated against gang violence in the wake of her daughter's death was struck by a vehicle.
The mother who Donald J. Trump invited to the State of the Union was killed in a fatal car strike.
Evelyn Rodriguez was the mother of Kayla Cuevas, the teenager who was killed by members of the ruthless domestic terrorist group MS-13.
The mother became a vocal advocate against gang violence and immigration reform.
The dispute started over a placement of Kayla's memorial.
The Suffolk County Police Department said that Rodriguez, 50, was struck by a car around 4 p.m. in Brentwood, New York, after getting into a dispute with a driver of an SUV about the location of the memorial, according to the New York Times.
The vigil was set to be held near the exact spot where the bodies of her daughter, Kayla Cuevas, and her daughter’s 15-year-old friend Nisa Mickens were found. Four members of the MS-13 gang were charged with the pair’s deaths.
According to the police, Rodriguez was struck by the vehicle when she tried to leave, and the driver, whom the authorities did not name, stayed on the scene and called 911, the Times reported.
Donald J. Trump tweeted the following.
My thoughts and prayers are with Evelyn Rodriguez this evening, along with her family and friends. #RIPEvelynhttps://t.co/wMwxRdjBHM
Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini — who served as police commissioner at the time of Rodriguez’s daughter’s murder — also mourned the loss of Rodriguez.
“Evelyn Rodriguez endured unspeakable tragedy when her daughter was murdered two years ago. As a parent, I cannot imagine functioning after the loss of a child, but Evelyn was able to turn that tragedy into a mission for good. She harvested her grief and used it as a catalyst for positive change on behalf of her community and on behalf of this country,” he wrote.
“Evelyn is one of the strongest people I have ever met in my life. I am proud to have worked with her and even more proud to have called her a friend. I know I speak for everyone who knew Evelyn in saying that we are truly heartbroken over her loss,” he added.
The woman who claimed that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her comes forward. She talks to The Washington Post about her encounter and it has rocked the nation.
Yeah, this is big.
Donald J. Trump and Republicans want to confirm this nominee quickly.
So far I give it an 80% chance of confirmation.
Christine Blasey Ford is going public after Republicans refuse to take the matter seriously. She puts her life in danger now that she came forth.
Ford claims that she was attacked by Kavanaugh and his friend at a party. Kavanaugh was drunk. She claimed that the he pinned her down, covered her mouth and tired to rip off her swimsuit.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) had received a letter from the woman. The senator turned it over to the FBI after the revelations were made. Ford said that she had to come forth because the junk food media and the right wing carnival barkers would dismiss her claims.
Brett Kavanaugh is under fire for an allegation of sexual assault.
Ford said that she attended Holton-Arms for Girls School while Kavanaugh went to the Georgetown Preparatory Boys School along with Mark Judge, a close associate to the Supreme Court nominee.
The encounter happened in 1982 while she was 15 and he was 17.
Ford said she has not spoken with Kavanaugh since that night. And she told no one at the time what had happened to her. She was terrified, she said, that she would be in trouble if her parents realized she had been at a party where teenagers were drinking, and she worried they might figure it out even if she did not tell them.
“My biggest fear was, do I look like someone just attacked me?” she said. She said she recalled thinking: “I’m not ever telling anyone this. This is nothing, it didn’t happen, and he didn’t rape me.”
Years later, after going through psychotherapy, Ford said, she came to understand the incident as a trauma with lasting impact on her life.
“I think it derailed me substantially for four or five years,” she said. She struggled academically and socially, she said, and was unable to have healthy relationships with men. “I was very ill-equipped to forge those kinds of relationships.”
She also said that in the longer term, it contributed to anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms with which she has struggled.
She married her husband in 2002. Early in their relationship, she told him she had been a victim of physical abuse, he said. A decade later, he learned the details of that alleged abuse when the therapist asked her to tell the story, he said.
He said he expects that some people, upon hearing his wife’s account, will believe that Kavanaugh’s high school behavior has no bearing upon his fitness for the nation’s high court. He disagrees.
“I think you look to judges to be the arbiters of right and wrong,” Russell Ford said. “If they don’t have a moral code of their own to determine right from wrong, then that’s a problem. So I think it’s relevant. Supreme Court nominees should be held to a higher standard.”
Kavanaugh denies all the accusations.
Do you believe Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a girl when he was teenager?
The political fallout is starting to brew. Republicans Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) are concerned that Kavanaugh isn't being honest about the situation. They want to at least hear her side of the story before they decide on confirming him.
Ford is an instructor at Palo Alto Unviersity and spoke about the incident six years ago.
The right wing carnival barkers are going to dismiss it. They're going to bring up Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein in their latest attempt at "whataboutism."
Ford is a registered Democrat.
The right is already claiming that the accuser recanted. They claim she is a political operative. They are saying that it's Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters fault. They believe that the woman is trying to ruin a great judge. They are claiming that 65 women are backing him. They are saying that if this nomination sinks, the Republicans will be energized to vote.
U.S. Coast Guard worker caught making a white extremist gesture.
A member of the U.S. Coast Guard rescue team allegedly made a "WP" hand gesture on MSNBC.
The gesture is regarded as "White power/privilege" and its synonymous with the alt-right movement.
During a taping with Ali Velshi on MSNBC Live, Captain John Reed was discussing rescue efforts in South Carolina. While he was talking, a white worker turns his head towards the camera, flashes the gesture and then proceeds back to work.
The Coast Guard released a statement on Twitter, Friday night saying they were aware of the "offensive gesture" and the Coast Guard member, who has not been named, was removed from duties.
Social media caught the hand gesture and then it set of a chain of events that could lead to this individual being fired out the cannon.
Kansas man filmed the police busting down his door.
A Topeka, Kansas man is making national headlines. He was washing his dog in a sink when he heard a pounding on his door. He realized that it was the Topeka Police. He refused entry.
The police would break down his door. They entered his home and thrown him to the ground in his underwear. They were responding to a call that a Hispanic with a semi-automatic.
What they saw was a Black man in his underwear washing his dog. He whipped out his camera phone and let the world know that Black Lives Matter.
See the post and video below.
David Reynolds was in between classes and washing his dog, he said in a Facebook video. But when Reynolds — who was wearing only underwear — slammed the door shut, police forced their way in with guns drawn and handcuffed him.
Topeka police first received a call at around 11 a.m. Wednesday about a male armed with a rifle, the department said in a statement posted to Facebook just after 5 p.m.
“The caller told us they believed the male to be in a violent dispute with a female and was making threats to her,” police said. “The caller then specified the apartment this was taking place in. The caller then said they could hear banging on their door and walls and said they were afraid for their safety.”
The Topeka Police are scraping up their dignity.
When officers arrived at the scene, they knocked on the door of the apartment described by the caller. A person inside answered the door while wearing underwear and latex gloves, refused to answer questions and slammed the door shut, police said.
“Fearing for the female’s safety, officers forced entry. The purpose was to check and see if the female was injured or needing assistance,” police said. “In emergency situations such as this, officers are not required to have a search warrant if they have a reasonable belief that a person may be in immediate danger.”
Topeka Police Chief Bill Cochran said when officers went to the door to speak to the woman, Reynolds answered in his underwear and black latex gloves.
“He slammed the door. We still don’t know her status. We don’t know where she at. We don’t know if she’s ok. We don’t know if she’s inside injured. So they made the determination that point to enter the apartment,” Cochran said.
Officers handcuffed Reynolds, and searched the home. When they did not find her, he was released.
“Somebody called them, said they had seen a Hispanic male with an AK-47. They came to my door. Busted my door down and put me in hand cuffs with no warrant," yelled Reynolds in the Facebook video.
"Law enforcement went in without a warrant, but it's one of those cases where it's extenuating circumstances and we're checking the welfare and the safety somebody that's involved in a potential violent situation," Cochran explained.
Chief Bill Cochran said officers tried to talk to Reynolds as to why they forced entry, but says Reynolds ordered officers to leave the apartment.
Officers are working with apartment management to repair the broken door.
Cochran told junk food media that the officers did discover a replica rifle in Reynolds’ home.
He also confirmed the woman involved in the incident said there was a confrontation, but it was not physical.
