Joy Behar and Meghan McCain are the new Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
The View's rating are up and two daytime agitators are feuding on air about politics. The two were arguing over Donald J. Trump attending the funeral of the 41st President of the United States.
Just a few days after Meghan McCain came to defense of Joy Behar, the two go at again over the funeral of George H.W. Bush.
Behar was very upset over the confrontation. During Monday's Hot Topic segment, Behar was discussing how Trump differs from Bush when it comes to environmental safety. Within a few moments, McCain would interrupt her.
"Can we focus on the [George H.W. Bush funeral], please. I don't want to talk about Trump, we're honoring a great president," said McCain.
That's when the yelling began.
"Excuse me a second, please. I want to talk about --!"
McCain interrupts again, "We are honoring a great president who passed and I'mm not interested in your one-issue voting."
That's when Behar fired back: "I don't care what you're interested in. 'I'm talking.'"
McCain responded, "Well I don't care what you're interested in either, Joy!"
Whoopi Goldberg put the breaks on the confrontation and cut to commercial break.
During the break, Behar slammed her cue cards on the table and turning to sound off on McCain just as producers were going to mute the microphone.
The heat was on Monday's show. The Hot Topics segment went off the rails when McCain interrupted Behar.
"My god! Get this bitch under control. If this shit doesn't stop, I'm quitting the damn show. I can't take this much more. I've tolerated a lot of shit on this show but I'm at my wits' end with this entitled bitch. Enough already! Enough already! I'm not playing nice any longer."
McCain looked shocked. She told the producers during the break, "I don't know what she's so upset. I just wanted her to focus on President Bush and not bring Trump into this for once."
Sources say that the tension is there.
"Everyone was frantic. The last thing they wanted was for Joy to walk off the show. She's done that before. Remember the Bill O'Reilly situation? She appeared just as disgusted as she did that day and they only had two minutes to contain this explosion on set and get everyone positioned to return for the next live segment. It was utter chaos on set."
McCain, the daughter of the late Arizona senator John McCain had returned to the show after she buried her father in August.
She along with Abby Huntsman and Ana Navarro are the conservative voices on The View. McCain and Huntsman were on Fox News and MSNBC respectfully. McCain joined The View in 2017 and Huntsman in 2018.
Navarro is a commentator on CNN and Friday host of The View.
McCain has driven ratings up. She is dubbed the "ice princess" because of her demeanor. Back in the day, McCain was easy to talk to. She had got into arguments with guests and the host numerous times. The ratings are doing fine and McCain has no signs of leaving. But they are concerned that she could be facing a serious talking about her behavior on and off camera.
Behar, Sonny Hostin and moderator Whoopi Goldberg are the progressive voices on the show.
Behar is a commentator on HLN and comedian.
Sonny Hostin is a legal and political analysis on ABC and CNN.
Whoopi Goldberg is an actress, activist and comedian.
Bring it. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is a Twitter troll. She goes hard on many right wing agitators taking shots at her. She's not letting them define her.
She is a boss. She trolling the fuck out of the right and gives progressives hope that the Democratic Party will finally have a backbone.
Rep-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) trolls the fuck out of Mike Huckabee. The freshman lawmaker isn't going to allow Fox News and right wing agitators disrupt her.
She could be the fighter the Democratic Party need when they're taking on Donald J. Trump and his minions.
A Green New Deal will take a level of ambition + innovation on the scale of the moon landing. We’ve been done it before, and can do it again.
Leave the false statements to Sarah Huckabee. She’s much better at it.

Have ALL gone after me, just to get lit up.
I’m not even sworn in yet. Don’t y’all have jobs to do?
This is a boss. She isn't allowing the right define her rise to fame. She is a woman of color.
The Washington Examiner reporter Eddie Scarry was sonned by the lawmaker. He decided to mock her attire and post a picture of her walking towards her office. Social media immediately pounced on him for his sexist attack. Even Ocasio-Cortez took a dig at the fool for making her backside the object of ire.
Yeah, progressives need more of this. Hit them hard.
Don't loose your cool. Play the game and win the game.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is a political activist and educator. She won a surprise Democratic primary against Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY). She is the youngest member of the Congress. At age 29, Ocasio-Cortez is a member of the Democratic Party. She is also a member of the Justice Democrats and Democratic Socialists of America.
Mike Huckabee blocks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on social media after he roasted him.
She is Afro-Puerto Rican. She describes herself as a member of the working-class and relates to the positions of the working class.
Ocasio-Cortez has been the subject of negative press coverage from right-leaning media outlets since the primary. Fox News, Breitbart, CRTV, Twitter and the Washington Examiner have attacked her on wax.
She often hits back.
The right is patiently waiting for ways to slip her up. They fear that her grassroots activism could uproot Republicans. When she hits 35 or older, maybe she could be a viable candidate for President of the United States.
In the meantime, we welcome more Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Fight on.
The Tumblr community is outraged that the microblogging website is canning adult content but keeping hate content online.
Blogging website Tumblr is closing the door on adult content. The Yahoo-Oath, Inc micro-blogging social media company is a subsidiary of Verizon Communications.
The website was founded by David Carp and it allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog.
The New York Times reports that Tumblr is being banned by Apple iOS App Store for advocating child porn.
Today, the company announced it will do a major overhaul of blog. They will ban all images and videos depicting sex acts, and images and videos depicting real-life human genitalia or female-presenting nipples. Exceptions are provided for artistic nudity, political speech worthy and women's health issues (breast cancer, breast feeding, breast reduction surgery, etc.)
All images will be hidden from public view and stripped.
Some are saying that Tumblr will allow hate speech and kookspiracy nuts to continue their reign, while stopping adult entertainers and adult themed companies from promoting their businesses.
Trump is killing the internet.
On December 17, the policy go into effect. The current crop of adult themed postings will remain for the time being. It will be switched to private mode and more harder to obtain.
There will be algorithms that will determine whether content is considered adult theme. The user will be notified and then their postings will be blocked.
So if you're a fan of Tumblr and want to see unfiltered adult content, find it elsewhere.
Free speech does include adult content.
Child porn is a federal crime. If anyone is caught download, distributing or engaging in acts against a minor, you will be charged with a felony. If you're convicted of any sexual abuse of a minor, you will be serving a minimum of five years to LIFE. You will be enrolled in Offender U and based on how severe the crime is, you get a TIER degree.
Wisconsin governor-elect Tony Evers and Lieutenant governor-elect Mandela Barnes vow to fight Republicans in the state legislature if they try to limit executive branch powers.
I can only say that George H.W. Bush and Republicans are human beings. That's the only thing I can say about the Republican Party.
The 41st President of the United States is lying at the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. His service will be on Wednesday. Donald J. Trump and the former presidents will be in attendance.
Dirty ass lawmakers Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell join Mike Pence in celebrating the life of Bush.
Today, the party continues to be more divisive towards people of color, progressives and Americans who don't worship a Christian god.
Well, Wisconsin, Michigan and Kansas are scrambling to limit the powers of the incoming Democratic governors.
Gov-elect Tony Evers says he will "take any steps possible" to prevent the GOP plans from happening. The lawmakers in Madison are hoping that in a lame duck session are hoping to weaken authority and then stall progress. They want to weaken Evers so they can use this as an election issue.
Evers said the efforts by the GOP-led legislatures are an "attempt to change the results of the gubernatorial election."
Republican legislative leaders say the plan will re-balance power between the legislative and executive branches --- a dynamic they say was tipped in Scott Walker's favor by their own action. In the 2010 election, the party gained full control of state government.
Evers decried the lame-duck session — the first in Wisconsin in eight years — as an embarrassment and an attempt to invalidate the results of the November election, in which Democrats won every constitutional office, including governor and attorney general.
He vowed to fight it, saying lawsuits were being explored, and called on the people of Wisconsin to contact their legislators even as the bills were speeding through. The measures were only made public late Friday.
"It goes to the heart of what democracy is all about," Evers said at a Sunday news conference held at a Milwaukee law firm. "I think it's the wrong message, I think it is an embarrassment for the state and I think we can stop it."
He also held out hope Walker might stop the bills, but Walker has not voiced any opposition to date.
"His legacy will be tied to this," Evers said of Walker.
The last lame-duck session in Wisconsin was eight years ago, just before Walker took office, when Democrats tried unsuccessfully to approve union contracts.
This year's proposals are wide-ranging and would affect everything in the state from transportation funding to carrying firearms in the state Capitol to changing an election date. Republicans want to move the 2020 presidential primary, when Democratic turnout is expected to be high, so it won't be on the same date as an April election when Walker-appointed Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly is on the ballot.
Moving the primary comes with a cost of about $7 million. Holding it in March, between state elections in February and April, would be logistically impossible, 60 of 72 Wisconsin county election officials said in a letter of opposition. The state Elections Commission was scheduled to discuss the proposal at a meeting Monday along with another one limiting early voting to no more than two weeks before an election.
On his way out, Scott Walker is trying to eliminate early voting days, portions of the state mandates of the Affordable Care Act and establish a permanent hold on Republican control.
Similar limitations on early voting were found unconstitutional by a federal judge in 2016 and Democrats have threatened legal action again.
Like North Carolina, the Republicans in the state house are determined to undermine Democratic govenrors.
As a new batch of governors come into the state house, I still question how three deeply unpopular Republicans managed to pull off wins. In Florida, Georgia and Ohio, it was clear, turnout was high. However, the popular vote went to the Democrats but the state went to Republicans. I believe there is shady shit going on at the polls.
The race for a congressional district in North Carolina is being questioned by state and federal investigators. There are absentee ballots missing and their coming from mostly areas where Black turnout would normally favor Democrats. Republican Mark Harris is now under question by the state election board for allegedly allowing it to happen.
So much bullshit and the junk food media isn't talking about it.
Yet, we hear the sexism about how Hillary Clinton shouldn't run for president in 2020.
We hear the sexist talk about Nancy Pelosi being the Speaker of the House again. The right sure loves to see infighting from the Democrats.
The right is calling Michelle Obama a man and saying she is was never a distinguished First Lady like Melania Trump. Obama writes a book about how to motivate Americans and the right goes ape shit.
The right attacks Ilhan Omar for wearing a scarf over head. They want Republicans to reinforce a rule requiring lawmakers to remove hats and hair attire. The right calls her anti-Semitic and supporter of the Islamic State without knowing the facts. They believe she is a secret terrorist because she is critical of Israeli war crimes against humanity.
This party even goes after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for advocating the Green New Deal.
Mike Huckabee, the former two time failed presidential candidate mocked her for saying it could be bigger than the "moon landing." Ocasio-Cortez clapped back. We'll cover this shortly.
Republicans aren't the party of diversity. They are the party of the White man. Notice that many prominent Republicans are dying faster than Democrats.
This is bullshit. How can we justify the "good guy with a gun" when the cops see a guy with a gun.
I've said time after time.
If you're a Black man with a gun, expect the cops to shoot first and then claim it was "self defense."
In the wake of Emantic Bradford, Jr.'s fatal shooting at the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover, Alabama, many Black people are saying the "Second Amendment" isn't for us.
The Daily Show tackles it.
Trevor Noah, the famed South African entertainer/comedian is keen to America's gun culture.
His life mattered. The Second Amendment doesn't protect Black folks.
The country's most recent mass shooters almost certainly are white. The last few that managed to kill a handful of Americans are usually going out with a bullet to their head. The others are caught without a bullet fired.
Nashville got rid of Kid Rock as their grand marshal to their Christmas Parade.
Kid Rock was scrubbed from the Nashville Christmas Parade after he caught some heat for his on-air remarks on Fox News. He called The View host Joy Behar a bitch on live television and it prompt the Nashville-Davidson County city council to replace the controversial entertainer with a local hero.
James Shaw, Jr., one of the survivors of the Waffle House mass shooting attack this year will be the grand marshal.
This white extremist decided to launch an attack on people eating a late night dinner. He managed to kill four innocent human beings. He managed to elude the law for a few days before he was caught without a bullet fired.
Shaw is one of the prominent voices in the March for Our Lives movement. This movement began this year after the Parkland School massacre. The students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School decided to put pressure on the NRA and Republicans. They managed to uproot a handful of lawmakers out of Washington and local government.
Sen-Elect Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) managed to win on the divisive nonsense that plagues politics.
Her time in the Senate will be more controversial because she's a "Jesus Freak" who hates Muslims, want unrestricted access to firearms, more leniency towards cops and forcing companies to fire people who don't stand for the national anthem.
Kid Rock was a strong supporter of Blackburn and Donald J. Trump.
Bob Ritchie as he is known became a vocal supporter of the Republican Party.
Better late than never.
While on live television with Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy, the entertainer made remarks about political correctness and managed to throw the b-word at Behar.
"God forbid you say something a little bit wrong - you're racist, homophobic, Islamophobic.... People need to calm down, get a little less politically correct, and, I would say love everybody," said Kid Rock.
He would add, "Expect I'd say screw that Joy Behar bitch, everybody but that."
The people in back gave a thunderous cheer.
Nashville Metro mayor David Briley said that he would skip the parade if the committee continued to allow him to be the grand marshal.
This decision to replace his drunk ass was a smart move.
Why should a diverse city like Nashville give a platform a bigot?
Kid Rock used to be a good guy. Ever since he hung out with loudmouth assholes like Hank Williams, Jr., Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin, he's become a white extremist.
Rock used to be a rapper before he became a Confederate flag flying rebel rocker.
Joy Behar and the ladies of The View slammed Kid Rock after the remarks. She said that she would love for the entertainer to say bitch directly to her face.
World famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is accused of sexual abuse.
Uh, oh!
American astronomer and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is accused of sexually abuse by three women. Fox and National Geographic are investigating the claims.
Tyson is the host of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, a popular science series on Fox and National Geographic.
Dr. Katelyn Allers, a physics professor at Bucknell University claims that Tyson groped her back in 2009.
Ashley Watson says she quit her job as Tyson's assistant after he allegedly invited her to his apartment and propositioned her for sex.
Neil deGrasse Tyson peeps the nice tattoo on Dr. Katelyn Allers. She was kind of offended by this.
Another accuser Tchiya Amet, a former classmate of Tyson claims back in 1984 at the University of Texas Austin, he allegedly drugged and raped her.
Allers claims that Tyson exhibits "creepy behavior" when it comes to women.
"After we taken the picture, he noticed my tattoo and kind of grabbed me to look at it, and was really obssessed about whether I had Pluto on this tattoo or not... and then he looked for Pluto, and followed the tattoo into my dress.
She added, "My experience with him is he's not someone who has great respect for female bodily autonomy."
Tchiya Amet accued Tyson of sexual assault in 1984.
Watson claims that she quit her job as Tyson's assistant after he made inappropriate sexual advances towards her. She said that Tyson invited her to his apartment around 10:30pm one night to "share a bottle of wine" and "unwind for a couple of hours."
Watson, who said she felt pressure to impress so she shared a bottle. Tyson got a little tipsy and tried to make a move on her. She rejected the moves.When she tried to leave his apartment, Tyson wanted a feel and hug.
Watson would later quit her job after he made the claim that she was too "distracting" for him.
The third accuser is a former classmate. Tchiya Amet, a teacher, musician and lecturer claimed that Tyson drugged her and raped her. She said that he offered a liquid in a coconut shell.
"I recall coming back to consciousness briefly, then the next thing I remember is seeing him in the hallway the next day. I lived this nightmare for 30 years, and it stops today."
Tyson came out swinging against his accusers on social media.
"In any claim, evidence matters. Evidence always matters. But what happens when it's just one person's word against another's, and the stories don't agree? That's when people tend to pass judgment on who is more credible than whom. And that's when an impartial investigation can best serve the truth—and would have my full cooperation to do so."
Tyson who is married with children claims that he had not committed any wrongdoing on his part.
But you know how this story goes. We will see how this plays out.
George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush both passed away in 2018.
The passing of an American president.
George H.W. Bush has passed away yesterday at the age of 94. He was suffering from Parkinson's disease. He was the 41st President of the United States who was then a notable voice within the Republican Party. He died peacefully at his home in Houston, only six months after the loss of his wife Barbara.
He served as a U.S. Representative, U.S. Ambassador, director of the Central Intelligence.
He was the 43rd Vice President of the United States during the Ronald Reagan years. He became one of the few vice presidents to become U.S. president.
Born in Milton, Massachusetts, Bush was part of a political dynasty which bore a son who later would become the 43rd President of the United States.
He was considered the oldest living former president. Now the title goes to Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States. The current title holder of President of the United States is former reality television star and business developer Donald J. Trump.
Current former living presidents.
Jimmy Carter
George W. Bush
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama
Prescott Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush bore their son in June 12, 1924. He was a good child who had a mischievous side. He was known as a practical joker when he was young. He wanted to attend college at an early age.
An attack on Pearl Harbor managed to change Bush's mind on college. He enlisted in the United States Navy on his 18th birthday, and became the youngest aviator in the U.S. Navy at the time.
Shortly after leaving the Navy, Bush married Barbara Pierce, who he met at a country club dance when he was 17 and she was 16. They would eventually have six children, one of whom died of leukemia before her fourth birthday.
He served until September 1945. He would start attending Yale University. After graduating in 1948, he move to West Texas. He joined the lobbying firm for an oil company and became a millionaire by the age of 40. Soon after he founded his own oil company, Bush became involved in politics.
Bush would lose his first race in the U.S. Senate. However, he would ended up winning the U.S. Congressional race for Texas 7th District.
After he was defeated from his second attempt at the U.S. Senate, he had to resign from his House seat.
Richard Nixon like his chops. So he appointed Bush to the Ambassador of the United Nations.
Bush would later join the Republican National Committee for a handful of years. Then he would be appointed by Gerald Ford as the Chief Liaison of Office in China. Ford would reassign him to be the Director of Central Intelligence when he thought the big time was coming.
In 1980, Bush decided to run for president. He was a formidable opponent and moderate in most Republican circles. He would be defeated by former California governor and actor Ronald Reagan.
Reagan decided that Bush could win over Democrats in the Rust Belt, because he appealed to some who were upset over Jimmy Carter's handling of the economy.
Reagan would sweep most of the states and force Jimmy Carter out of the White House.
Reagan and Bush were like a team of rivals. During the campaign, Bush called Reagan's campaign on the economy, "voodoo economics." They clashed at times but came to respect one another during the eight years of Reagan's presidency. The two shared a moment during the 1981 assassination attempt.
Laura Bush, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Melania Trump at the funeral of Barbara Bush.
Bush was a successful vice president and used his support of Reagan to help him beat Michael Dukakis and Lloyd Bentson.
In 1988, Bush was considered the moderate within a string of conservatives. Bob Dole, Pat Robertson, Jack Kemp and Pete Du Pont were formiable opponents. They couldn't withstand the juggernaut of Bush, Roger Ailes and Lee Atwater. The infamous Willie Horton ad doomed Dukakis and helped sweep most of the states leaving the Democrats in the dust. Also the poking
During the Bush years, it was marked with a stable economy, the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the Gulf War, the Los Angeles riots, Hurricane Andrew and the pledge.
Privately, the former presidents had strong dislike towards Donald J. Trump.
Bush's tenure in the White House was limited to four years. He was defeated for re-election by Democrat Bill Clinton in 1992. A weakened economy, a limited domestic agenda and a broken promise against raising taxes contributed to Bush's defeat.
George W. Bush, who served as the country's 43rd president, released a statement of his own from the family.
"Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro, and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died," George W. Bush said. "George H. W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens."
Bush began experiencing health problems during his presidency. In 1991, he was treated at a hospital for an irregular heartbeat. Doctors diagnosed him as having Graves disease, a thyroid condition that, by coincidence, his wife also had.
Bush experienced a recurrence of the irregular heartbeat in February 2000, when he was attending a reception in Naples, Florida. He spent a night in the hospital, but smiled and joked with reporters the next day.
In November 2012, he was admitted to a Houston hospital for bronchitis and a chronic cough. He was expected to return home well before Christmas but remained hospitalized after the holiday. Officials said he had a high fever and had been placed on a liquids-only diet.
In 2017, the former president was admitted to the intensive care unit at Houston Methodist Hospital to "address an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia," according to his office.
His family has said publicly that the former president was no longer able to walk unassisted, a frustration for a man who enjoyed an active lifestyle of golf, fishing, jogging and power walks on the beach near his summer home in Maine.
Bush lived his life to the fullest. He was a man who devoted his life to public service. He always had a great smile and good sense of humor. He often knew how make people laugh.
One of the most funniest things I've heard was whenever Bush heard Trump speak, he would want to throw the shoe at the television.
It's going to be awkward. Trump will appear along with George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama at the state funeral of Bush,Sr.
Trump will once again face Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden and Jeb Bush, all the people who he constantly attacked on the campaign trail and during his tenure.
George Herbert Walker Bush, Sr. the 41st President of the United States has passed away.
The nation mourns the lost of an American president. George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 passed away at the age of 94.
Many refer him as George, Sr., Bush 41 and Mr. President. To his four sons and daughter, he was their poppa.
This comes only a handful of months since his wife of
Survived by his sons George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, son Marvin, daughter Dora and son Neil, the patriarch of the family dynasty is home with Barbara.
George and Barbara are together again.
Born into privilege and a tradition of service, Bush was a son of a senator, celebrated World War II combat pilot, student athlete, Texas oilman, Republican congressman, national party chairman, pioneering diplomat and spy chief. After his own 1980 presidential campaign came up short, he served two terms as Ronald Reagan's vice president before reaching the pinnacle of political power by winning the 1988 presidential election, soundly defeating Democrat Michael Dukakis.
After losing the White House in 1992, Bush became a widely admired political elder who leapt out of airplanes to mark birthday milestones. Emphasizing the generosity of his soul, he forged a close -- and unlikely -- friendship with Democrat Bill Clinton, the man who ended his presidency. When Parkinson's disease mostly silenced him in public, Bush flashed his sense of humor by sporting colorful striped socks.
Bush's death comes after his wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush, passed away on April 17 at age 92. Before her funeral, Bush was pictured in a wheelchair gazing at his wife's flower-covered casket, in a moment that encapsulated their life-long love affair.
The first sitting vice president to be elected to the presidency since 1836, Bush was also only the second person in US history to see his own son follow in his presidential footsteps when George W. Bush was elected in 2000.
In addition to the 43rd president, Bush is survived by his son Jeb, the former Florida governor and 2016 presidential candidate; sons Neil and Marvin; daughter Dorothy; and 17 grandchildren. His daughter Robin died of leukemia as a child, a tragedy that still moved Bush deeply late in his life. He will be buried alongside her and the former first lady at his presidential library in College Station, Texas.
George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, the second father and son to be come President of the United States. The first were John and John Quincy Adams.
Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later time, according to the statement released by Bush's spokesman Jim McGrath.
The family will be devastated by the passing.
As expected, Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Dan Quayle, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Jimmy Carter, Roslyn Carter, Nancy Davis, Ron Reagan, Jr., Rush Limbaugh, Tom Brokaw, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, David Souter, Robin Meade, Mitt Romney, Alan Greenspan, Andrea Mitchell, Mikhail Gorbachev, the cast of The Simpsons, the cast of Murphy Brown, Pope Benedict, Queen Elizabeth II and many others will pay their respect to the former president in some fashion.
More on the life and legacy of George H.W. Bush soon. We will keep you informed as best as we can.
The race for the 9th U.S. Congressional District in North Carolina isn't over. The Democrat and Republican competing for the seat are now battling it out in court.
The suburban region of Charlotte is up for grabs and outgoing Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC) is sitting back watching the drama unfold. He will not worry much longer after Jan. 3. He will be leaving as well as a bunch of Republicans swept away in the BLUE WAVE.
Republican Mark Davis won't head to Washington, DC just yet. He is facing an investigation on whether votes were distorted to give him an edge.
North Carolina state officials have not certified this clown because they believe there were numerous irregularities and concerted fraudulent activities related to absentee mail ballots.
It was determined that actions were meant to taint or commit fraudulent or corruption within the election.
Democrat Dan McCready didn't concede yet. He said that he is waiting on whether the election could be voided and a special election will be held in place.
The Associated Press on Friday announced it was revoking its projection of a Republican victory in a battleground North Carolina congressional race, after the state elections board there refused to certify the results amid allegations of wrongdoing.
Results show Republican Mark Harris received 905 more votes than McCready in the 9th Congressional District — one of the most closely watched battleground districts in the country in this month's midterm elections. But in two separate meetings this week, the state elections board voted not to certify the results, after receiving notarized affidavits from voters who claimed that a woman was going door to door offering help filling out and returning absentee ballots in Bladen County, in the eastern part of the district, which stretches west to parts of Charlotte.
A subcontractor for Harris' campaign is suspected, the Charlotte Observer reported.
Former Marine Ben McCready is not conceding yet. He vows to fight this one in court.
Earlier Friday, the North Carolina State Board of Elections voted 7-2 to hold a hearing to weigh claims of "fraudulent activities" in the district, tentatively scheduling an "evidentiary hearing on or before December 21 ... to assure the election is determined without taint of fraud or corruption," board member Joshua Malcolm said in a motion.
Prior to this week’s controversy, Harris appeared to have won two very close elections this year that are now both under scrutiny — the first coming in a primary in May, when he unseated GOP Rep. Robert Pittenger by an 828-vote margin. In the primary, Harris won 96 percent of all absentee ballots in Bladen County, according to the Washington Post, far greater than the 69 percent he won in the county as a whole.
The dirty cop who killed an unarmed man inside his own Dallas apartment slammed the decision to indict her as a "politically motivated" move.
The dirty cop Amber Guyger is now facing a choice, LIFE or DEATH. She is being charged with murder. The family of Botham Jean are hoping that she is convicted.
The incident happened two months ago. This cop walked in on a man and shot him. This cop claimed that she ordered the man to put his hands up. He refused. She said that he was reaching for something. She had no choice.
Turns out that she made the whole thing up.
She was soon fired out the cannon and faced a criminal charge of reckless homicide. The charges were bumped to murder. The Texas Rangers found that the dirty cop's actions were intentional.
An arrest affidavit prepared by the Texas Rangers provided a narrative of what allegedly happened the night Jean was killed. It appeared to be based almost entirely on the officer’s account.
Guyger told investigators that she had just ended a 15-hour shift that Thursday when she returned in uniform to the South Side Flats apartment complex. She parked on the fourth floor, instead of the third, where she lived, according to the affidavit, possibly suggesting that she was confused or disoriented.
When Guyger put her key in the apartment door, which was unlocked and slightly ajar (according to the affidavit), it opened. Inside, the lights were off, and she saw a figure in the darkness that cast a large silhouette across the room, according to the officer’s account.
Guyger told police that she concluded her apartment was being burglarized and gave verbal commands to the figure, which ignored them. She then drew her weapon and fired twice at Jean, the affidavit said.
She called 911 and, when asked where she was, returned to the front door to see she was in the wrong unit, according to the affidavit.
The Dallas County medical examiner's office said Jean died of a gunshot wound to the chest and abdomen. His death was ruled a homicide.
Jean grew up in the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia before attending college in Arkansas. He graduated in 2016 from Harding University. He had worked for the PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting firm in Dallas since graduating.
His life mattered and the junk food media is trying to slander him.
Jean wasn’t the first person shot by Guyger. She shot a man named Uvaldo Perez on May 12, 2017, while on duty.
According to an affidavit filed against Perez, police were looking for a suspect when Guyger and another officer were called to assist a third officer. Perez got out of a car and became combative with Guyger and another officer. A struggle began and Guyger fired her Taser at Perez, who then wrestled it away from her. She then drew her gun and fired, wounding Perez in the abdomen.
Sgt. Michael Mata, president of Dallas' largest police union, the Dallas Police Association, said Guyger was a respected officer and well known to investigative units in the department because she worked on a high-risk team tasked with arresting some of the most violent offenders. On the day of the shooting, Guyger's unit had arrested multiple suspects for armed robbery, he said.
Mata called for Guyger to have fair treatment, but also said she should answer for her actions.
Guyger was hired in November 2013 and assigned the Southeast Patrol Division.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
St. Louis Metro Police beat down one of their own.
Four St. Louis cops are facing federal charges for attacking an undercover cop. They deliberately made remarks on social media bragging about taking out protesters.
The four Missouri cops were indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with the assault of a fellow officer who worked in the protest rally of Anthony Lamar Smith.
Dustin Boone, Randy Hays and Christopher Myers were working with the St. Louis Metro Police (SLMPD) when they were accused of beating an undercover with a riot baton and tampered with witnesses to cover up the inident.
Bailey Colletta was also indicted for providing false statements to a federal grand jury in connection to the incident.
The indictment has text messages between Myers and Boone in which they displayed how much they wanted to beat "the hell out of these shitheads once the sun goes down and no one can tell us" apart.
Another dirty cop named Anthony Stokley was acquitted of the 2011 death of Smith. He claimed that he was acting in self-defense despite he tried to plant a firearm. The incident happened when Smith fled police. The cop was charged with felonious assault and murder.
The four dirty cops who covered up a beat down of an undercover cop.
His acquittal led to massive protests across the city and County of St. Louis.
The undercover officer going under the name, L.H. is an "experience undercover officer who specifically wore a shirt that revealed his waistband so that he would not be mistaken for being armed."
Once Myers, Boone and Hayes learned that L.H. was part of the force, they made false statements justifying the assault, contacted L.H. to dissuade him from taking legal action and contacted witness to try to influence their testimony.
Myers also destroyed L.H.'s phone with "intent to impede, obstruct and influence the investigation."
Bailey who was also involved had a romantic affair with Hays. She knew that they were planning on trying to taint evidence and she looked the other way.
Now under indictment, the four could face 20 years in federal time out. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The city still has a problem. The U.S. Justice Department has investigated the police force during the Obama years. It was eliminated in the Trump years.
Donald J. Trump, Sen-elect Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Gov. Mike Parson will continue to allow dirty cops to reign horror upon people of color. The Republicans don't care about people of color.
They support genocide of Black and Brown people.
That's why we have to continue to fight to change direction. No more conservative Democrats running the party. We need progressives willing to fight against the noise of far-right lunatics.
We got to change direction.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. DIRTY COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.
