Steve King Is The Republican Party's Resident White Extremist!

Steve King is an avowed white extremist. He's a Republican.
Republicans have the audacity to call Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) anti-Semitic for voicing opposition to a bill that the senate tried to ram through.

Fox News agitator Laura Ingraham callled four women of color, the "four horseman of the apocalypse" and said that they're apart of the "anti-Semitic wing of the Democratic Party."


Mind you that the Republican Party is 93% White and 7% other races.

Enter Rep. Steve King (R-IA).

The Iowa lawmaker barely survive a reelection bid.

Now outed as an unapologetic white extremist, King continues to forth.

His interview with the New York Times didn't help much.

"White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?" King said in an interview with the Times. "Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?"

King, who has been widely criticized in the past for his support of far-right parties and politicians, pushed backed against the Times' suggestion "that I am an advocate for white nationalism and white supremacy."

"I want to make one thing abundantly clear: I reject those labels and the evil ideology that they define," the Iowa Republican said. "Further, I condemn anyone that supports this evil and bigoted ideology which saw in its ultimate expression the systematic murder of 6 million innocent Jewish lives."

The Times interviewed King for a story that delved into his past outspoken comments and views on immigration and race. The article suggested that King, who has pushed for a crackdown on illegal immigration since he was first elected to the House in 2002, paved the way for politicians like President Donald Trump, who has resisted calls to reopen the federal government until Congress approves border security measures that include $5 billion for a barrier at the U.S.-Mexico border.

King said he is an "advocate for Western Civilization's values."

"I profoundly believe that America is the greatest tangible expression of these ideals the world has ever seen. Under any fair political definition, I am simply a Nationalist," he said in the statement. "America's values are expressed in our founding documents, they are attainable by everyone and we take pride that people of all races, religions, and creeds from around the globe aspire to achieve them. I am dedicated to keeping America this way."

But King said his conviction "does not make me a white nationalist or a white supremacist."

"Once again, I reject those labels and the ideology that they define," he said. "As I told the New York Times, 'It's not about race; it's never been about race.'"

A bipartisan chorus of King's colleagues condemned the language he used in the nation's largest daily newspaper.

"These comments are abhorrent and racist and should have no place in our national discourse," Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), said in a tweet. Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, this month became the House Republican Conference chair, the third-highest post in GOP House leadership.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), called for the House to formally censure King "for his racists remarks."

"These remarks should also be repudiated by Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and all of Rep. King's colleagues," Ryan said in tweet. "Support for white supremacist ideology should have no place in Congress."

The political fallout came a day after a prominent Iowa Republican Randy Feenstra seeking a primary bid to unseat King.

Replace a racist with another racist. That's what Iowans need another racist running as a Republican.

The Law Caught The Second Killer Of Jazmine Barnes!

This knothead was caught. He is accused of killing a 7-year old girl in a drive-by shooting.
Is this a case of mistaken identity?

Shaun King was on SiriusXM's Make It Plain with Mark Thompson a few days ago bringing skepticism towards the allegations that the attack on Jazmine Barnes and her family. He believes that there's a connection. He along with many in the social media blogosphere are relieved the killers of this little girl were captured.

Okay, the second suspect was arrested this week in the shooting death of that little girl.

USA Today reports Texas prosecutors are filing capital murder charges the second black man in the drive-by shooting of Barnes, authorities in Houston said Tuesday.

The killer could face the DEATH card in the Dec. 30 tragedy.

Jazmine's mother was driving Jazmine and her three sisters when they stopped at a light. A car rolled up and someone began shooting, killing Jazmine and wounding her mother, LaPorsha Washington, family members told police.
Social media helped find Jazmine Barnes' killers.
The case drew international attention when family members said they believed the shooter was a white male, raising the spectre of a racial hate crime.

Investigators later identified two Black males as suspects based on a tip to social activist Shaun King. The suspects were arrested at a traffic stop Saturday, and Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said Black told investigators he was the driver and one of the men fired the shots.

One of the killers also said the men believed they were shooting into the car of men they had tangled with at a club hours earlier. The first killer was charged with murder hours after his arrest. At the time, the killer was held on drug charges.
The two face death if convicted.
On Tuesday, on the basis of additional corroborating evidence, prosecutors with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted a capital murder charge against the suspect," Gonzalez said in a statement.

Jazmine was laid to rest Tuesday at a funeral in Houston.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

I Enter This Restaurant And This White Guy Threw A Chair At Me For No Reason!

White guy throws a chair at a teen after he entered a Chicago restaurant. 
Chicago teen filmed a restaurant manager throwing a chair at him. The manager's excuse for throwing the chair at the teen. This was an "instinct" to react due to his previous encounters with Black men.

John "Kyle" Johnson was entering Poke Poke, a local restaurant in the Chicago Loop. This guy decides to throw a chair at him.


Johnson was with two of his friends when he saw someone wave at him through the window.

When he opened the door, he heard the manager scream, "I'll kick your ass!"

The manager identified as Matthew Fezzey swung a chair at him. He said to the teens, "This is my place of business." The chair hit the arm and left him with injuries.

Johnson decided to whip out his camera and confront the manager.

"I was super shocked. I was scared, thinking, 'Is this really happening right now?' I looked into his eyes, and they were super furious."

While recording the encounter, his friends called 911.

Fezzey decided to apologize for the encounter by saying that he's not a racist but it was instinct.

"Two days ago -- and I'm not trying to be racist - two Black guys robbed two people right here," Feezy said.

The teen replied, "But sir, you threw a chair at me. I'm not those guys."

"This is the third time in a row. Three days before that, two more Black guys. I actually fought them in here. The tried threatening one of my employees and I had to fight them. When you guys came in here, I just get really fucking defensive, really defensive, because I have to fight them off all the time. These security guards over here don't do a fucking thing," said Feezey.
Poke Poke location in the Loop faces a boycott after manager assaulted a customer because of his instinct.
Feezey then tells Johnson and his friend that he was "way in the wrong" and felt bad.

"But that was just my first instinct," said Feezey. "Because I've had to deal with fights here, which I shouldn't."

Johnson then looks directly at the camera and declares "I was not trying to hurt this man."

"I shouldn't have done that, I knew it was wrong. But I had to fight three people at my restaurant the other day, so I thought I had to fight some more people, so I fucking freaked out."

Poke Poke decided to place the manager in the freezer pending a cannon firing. The restaurant did apologize to Johnson and his friends. The Chicago Police are investigating the incident and will pursue criminal charges.

"How our manager reacted to the situation was absolutely unacceptable and against what we stand for. Racism has no place in today's society, and no one should ever be judged by the color of their skin.There are no excuses for what happened to Kyle and for that we apologize." said the restaurant in a statement.

Anish Parikh, the attorney for Johnson said legal action will be pursued.

"This type of behavior, in our opinion warrants a termination. [This guy's] suspension 'speaks volumes' about their business and the people who run it."

Johnson on his part just held calm.

"My state of mind was literally, 'God help me,' and I just remained calm."

Ja'Mal Green, a prominent Chicago activist called upon a public boycott of the establishment.



As for those calling for a boycott, they say they will boycott until Fezzey if fired.

It's 2019, we still have white folks still acting out around people of color. Truly a problem and no solution in sight. We seen it three times. Remember that white lady who went bonkers inside a craft store in Chicago. You seen how cops are killing people of color in the city. You seen that jackass who threatened Black folks outside a restaurant.

Racism does exist in the big cities. I

Bore Me With The Details!


Whether you liked it or not, we were subject to Donald J. Trump's address to the nation. As the dope tried to encourage the American people to back him on "border security" while funding the government, he totally missed the message.

He didn't not offer any remedies to the government shutdown. He just placed the blame of the shutdown on the Democrats. There are rumors that Trump will declare a national emergency to get the funding for the border wall.

All the networks carried it and even had fact-checkers decoding Trump's remarks.

Some of the things I happened to catch.

He proposes a steel barrier.

He uses the death of a California cop and other incidents as a scapegoat to his proposal.



Then of course, the Democrats delivered their message. Yeah, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) delivered their remarks to counter Trump. Another stalemate.



Here's what happened today.

Trump had a signing ceremony for the anti-human trafficking law. He was going to meet with Democrats for a brief encounter.

And I do mean brief.

Trump didn't stay but 30 minutes. According to the Democrats, he slammed his hands on the table and walked out after Pelosi said no to his request.

Friday, many government workers won't receive a paycheck. Americans blame Trump and Republicans overwhelmingly over the Democrats.

Damn, This White Lady Just Called A Black Airline Worker A Rapist And Told Him She Had A Gun!

White woman screaming she has a gun at a Black airline worker.
It's 2019, you thought it was over. Here we go again with white people acting out around people of color. This time it happened in *****drum roll ***** Florida.

Reminder: We are in a government shutdown. Many government workers like the air traffic controllers and TSA agents work regardless of Donald J. Trump and Congress failing to pass a budget.

Trump refuses to sign a bill that doesn't include funding for a border wall.

On Tuesday night, Trump will deliver an approximately 15 minute speech to the nation. He will ask for the public to support his bid for the border wall. He might declare a national emergency to get the armed forces to aid in building this wall.

He won't ask Mexico to pay for it.

Now the story.

A woman screaming at the top of her lungs at a JetBlue employee who happens to be Black.

The manager of a famous hip-hop star films it and it becomes another viral sensation. Even the dreaded Fox News wanted to get a piece of the action. After all, they'll probably use this as a platform to attack Barack Obama, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or hip-hop music.

I'm jumping to conclusions. Ain't I?

Nah.

I seen it. Fox News isn't news. It's propaganda for Donald J. Trump and Republicans.

Wondering why Floridians chose Ron DeSantis over Andrew Gillum?

I guess this is why!

Dre London, the manager of hip-hop powerhouse Post Malone filmed this white woman going off at a man at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.



The unnamed passenger is standing at a JetBlue counter near the gate, shouting and jumping up and down as she verbally assaults the employee.

“Who does that to a woman like me? Get me out of this fucked up place, you rapist. Get me out of here, get me out of here,” she yells.

She also screams that she has a gun and is homeless. Moments later, she grabs her bag and walks off.

In a second video, the woman is seen sitting on the ground being detained by several law enforcement officials.

A spokesperson for JetBlue told Fox News the woman was denied boarding from her flight for being drunk.

The airport police detained the woman. If this was a person of color who screaming they had a gun, this person would have been either shot and killed.

Let's clear my head.



Post Malone - Better Now

BREAKING: Sears And Kmart Out!

The end of the road for Sears and Kmart. Capitalism killed a legacy.
Remember, we are in a government shutdown. Donald J. Trump and Congress failed to pass a budget resolution. The imbecile wants Congress to pass a resolution that include funding for a border wall.

The government has been shut down for over two weeks and it seems like there's no end in sight.

Sears and Kmart are officially going out of business. The Sears Holding Group has rejected a last ditch effort by former CEO Eddie Lampert to bring the company from the brink of collapse.

The two companies been in business for decades. They were staples of shopping malls, shopping centers and big box retail.

The company will liquidate as soon as a federal judge approves the agreement. That means the shareholders will end up getting their golden parachutes and the 50,000 employees will not see a paycheck or their long overdue earned benefits.

I've talked about the demise for years. Now it's a sad moment in modern history.


Are you going to miss Sears and Kmart?

Yes. I am going to miss these iconic companies. I believe that Sears Holding Group failed to understand the needs of the consumer.
Yes. Hedge fund managers destroy companies like Sears. They pile billions of debt on companies and expect to turn a profit.
No. I am not going to miss Sears and Kmart. They were considered ancient in my mind. I rather do my shopping through Amazon. Technology saves money.
No. I am not going to miss Sears. Eddie Lampert put his grip on a struggling company. His leadership couldn't save this sinking ship.
I have no opinion of it. To be honest. I am going to miss Sears and Kmart but I want to keep politics out of it.

Please Specify:

The demise of Sears is certain to trigger a recession.

Sears, which also owns Kmart, planned to announce its liquidation plans Tuesday morning, the people said.

Lampert had put forward a $4.4 billion bid to save Sears by buying it out of bankruptcy through his hedge fund ESL Investments. His offer, though, was deemed insufficient by Sears' advisors, the people said. One of the biggest unresolved issues was covering the fees and vendor payment it owes, making it "administratively insolvent."

Still, ESL plans to protest Sears' decision, a person familiar with the situation told CNBC. ESL, which worked over the weekend to improve its offer, will point to the extensive advisory fees that Sears has racked up during bankruptcy. Such fees are part of Sears' administrative expenses.

Sears on Tuesday morning pushed back a bankruptcy court hearing originally scheduled for 10:00 a.m, allowing for the possibility of a last minute resolution.

The people requested anonymity because the information is confidential.

A liquidation could still salvage pieces of the storied retailer, like its home services business. Still, it marks the end of an era for the company that started in 1893 as Sears, Roebuck & Co., and was once the nation's largest retailer. Its fall from grace saw it swing from being the "first everything store" to a business that couldn't compete when "everything" was found online after Amazon arrived.

Its fall from grace saw it swing from being the "first everything store" to a business that couldn't compete when "everything" was found online after Amazon arrived.

It will be what many deem the ultimate proof of failure in Lampert's grand plan to fortify two struggling retailers, Sears and Kmart, by combining them in 2005. The combined companies became victim of savvier competition, changing shopping habits and, many have argued, poor management.

Lampert's background as a hedge fund manager, once deemed the next Warren Buffett, proved to be poor preparation for battling retail titans like Walmart, Target and Amazon. Lampert believed that a strong loyalty program and data made investing in stores and advertising optional, people familiar with the situation have said. As Sears' losses piled up, it didn't have a choice, it couldn't invest.

Sears' last profitable year was in 2010. For the past five years, the ratio of Sears' capital expenditures to sales has been less than 1 percent, even as its sales have more than halved in the same time period.

Without proper attention, Sears lost relevancy and its customers' loyalty.

Sears had a little under 700 stores when it filed for bankruptcy in October, but it has since whittled that down to an expected footprint of roughly 400. It employed 68,000 workers at the time of its filing.

ESL declined to comment. Sears did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Yeah, it is sad that I see iconic brands like Kmart and Sears go under. I wished the situation would have turned around. Their leadership should have been more diverse to the consumer.

Lampert destroyed two companies. He along with folks like Trump, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and hedge fund investors pile debt on companies like Sears. They loan companies billions knowing that a company can't pay for the debt. Then they reek in the profits while the company struggles on pennies.

Sears and Kmart are gone.

Is this going to be Donald J. Trump's fault.

Cyntoia Brown Might Be Out Soon!

A second chance for American woman who was granted clemency.
Outgoing Tennessee governor Bill Haslam has granted clemency to Cyntoia Brown, an American woman who was convicted of murdering a man who she accused of rape. She was a victim of sex trafficking.

Brown was sold for sex at the young age of 16. She was sentenced to life. However, the power of activism, Shaun King, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Jada Pinkett Smith and Kim Kardashian West helped spark a movement in justice reform.

Now in a few mere months, Brown will be released.

Brown was a 16-year-old sex trafficking victim when she killed a man in 2004 was granted clemency Monday by Tennessee’s governor and soon will be released from prison.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam granted clemency to Cyntoia Brown, who had been serving a life sentence but who will be released on parole on Aug. 7 — exactly 15 years from the date she was first arrested.

“Cyntoia Brown committed, by her own admission, a horrific crime at the age of 16. Yet, imposing a life sentence on a juvenile that would require her to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole consideration is too harsh, especially in light of the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life,” Haslam said in his statement.

Brown, 30, will remain on parole supervision for 10 years on the condition she does not violate any state or federal laws, holds a job, and participates in regular counseling sessions.

Brown’s case has attracted national attention from criminal justice reform advocates, and the attention amped up as Haslam’s second and final term entered its final weeks. While law enforcement officials had opposed clemency - arguing Brown was not justified in killing Allen - celebrities like Kim Kardashian West and singer Rihanna spoke out for Brown. The governor’s office was inundated with thousands of phone calls and emails from supporters.

“Thank you Governor Haslam,” Kardashian West tweeted soon after news of the clemency decision broke, which was followed by similar high-profile responses from former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, actresses Alyssa Milano and Viola Davis.


Brown was convicted in 2006 of murdering 43-year-old Nashville real estate agent Johnny Allen two years before. Police said she shot Allen in the back of the head at close range with a loaded gun she brought to rob him after he picked her up at a drive-in theater in Nashville to have sex with her.

However, according to her lawyers, Brown was a victim of sex trafficking who not only feared for her life but also lacked the mental state to be culpable in the slaying because she was impaired by her mother’s alcohol use while she was in the womb.

Brown expressed thanks in a statement released Monday by her legal team.

“I am thankful for all the support, prayers, and encouragement I have received. We truly serve a God of second chances and new beginnings. The Lord has held my hand this whole time and I would have never made it without him,” Brown said. “Let today be a testament to his saving grace.”

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against life-without-parole sentences for juveniles. However, the state of Tennessee argued successfully in lower courts that it was not in violation of federal law because Brown did have a possibility for parole: She was sentenced to serve at least 51 years of her life sentence.

“Her story is a story that should be a catalyst for a lot of others, thousands of other juveniles,” said Houston Gordon, one of Brown’s lead attorneys. “We need to see this as a national awakening to change the draconian laws that allow juveniles, children, to be placed in adult prisons when they’re just children. They’re not little adults.”

During her time in prison, Brown completed her GED and took college classes. She is currently one course away from finishing a Bachelor’s degree at Lipscomb University.
Cyntoia Brown will be out by August.
Nashville Mayor David Briley praised Haslam’s decision, calling it a “great day for social justice and our city.” Democratic state Sen. Raumesh Akbari said the clemency announcement shows that Tennessee “can show love, compassion and mercy” for people who have experienced trauma.

Haslam’s decision comes at a time when he’s considering his next political move in Tennessee now that U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander announced he won’t seek re-election in 2020.

Compared to Democrats, Tennessee’s Republican lawmakers remained markedly quiet on Haslam’s decision.

Gov.-elect Bill Lee offered a brief statement, saying he “respected” Haslam’s choice in the complex case and Lt. Gov. Randy McNally said he “appreciated” the process the governor went through to arrive at his decision.

Ed Yarborough, another attorney for Brown, joked at a Monday press conference that he was brought on as the “token Republican” in Brown’s case.

“I have to give a lot of credit to Gov. Haslam for having the wisdom and the compassion to do what he did today,” he said. “It will not be popular with everyone in Tennessee, but he did the right thing and we praise him for that.”

To date, Haslam has granted five commutations, 15 pardons, and one exoneration. The Republican says he is continuing to review and consider additional clemency requests.

Angela Davis Gets Chin Checked For Denouncing Israeli Genocide Against The Palestinian People!

Angela Davis express concern about Israeli war crimes and a civil rights group pulled her invite.
Black activist and pioneer to the modern resistance Angela Davis is under fire.

Why?

Because she denounced the antics of the Israeli government towards the people of the West Bank and The Gaza Strip.

Once again, if we criticize Israeli crimes against humanity, we're anti-Semitic.

The AP reports that a Birmingham civil rights group stripped the former Black Panther of her award because of pressure from Jewish groups tied to pro-Israeli interest.

Black activists on Monday called for leadership changes and protests at an Alabama civil rights museum after it rescinded an award for political activist Angela Davis, a move the mayor said followed complaints from the Jewish community.

Speaking outside the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, located in the same downtown area where civil rights violence once shocked the nation, organizers told a news conference that Davis, a Birmingham native, was wronged by the decision to rescind the honor.

Davis, a longtime activist who has supported Palestinian rights and criticized Israeli policy, is on a par with civil rights legend Rosa Parks, said activist Frank Matthews.

“This is the ultimate insult to deny Angela Davis her inheritance,” he said. Museum leaders should quit, he said, and protests will be held. Other speakers called for a boycott.

The institute announced in September that Davis would receive the Fred L. Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award, named for the late minister who once prominently led civil rights demonstrations in the city.

In a statement posted on its website over the weekend, the publicly funded museum said it was canceling a gala set for next month and rescinding the award after directors concluded Davis “unfortunately does not meet all of the criteria on which the award is based.”

Mayor Randall Woodfin said he was “dismayed” by the decision, which he said followed “protests from our local Jewish community and some of its allies.”

The longtime executive director of the Birmingham Jewish Federation, Richard Friedman, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

A representative of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute did not immediately return an email message seeking comment; neither did a California-based agency that represents Davis.

Davis , 74, has spent decades fighting for civil rights. She was an active member of the Black Panther Party, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and Communist Party USA. She also is an outspoken supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement targeting Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.

The civil rights institute’s president and CEO, Andrea Taylor, said in October that the organization was “thrilled to bestow this honor” on Davis whom she described as “one of the most globally recognized champions of human rights, giving voice to those who are powerless to speak.”

But the institute announced Saturday that in late December, “supporters and other concerned individuals and organizations, both inside and outside of our local community, began to make requests that we reconsider our decision.”

The statement did not indicate what criteria Davis didn’t meet, nor did it identify the origin of the complaints. Many people responded with outrage on Twitter and Facebook.

Mayor Woodfin called the museum’s decision a reactive and divisive decision and offered to facilitate a community dialogue in response. While the city helps fund the museum, one of the top tourist draws in Alabama, it doesn’t get involved in “programmatic decisions,” Woodfin said.

Protest organizer Carlos Chaverst Jr. said the city has gotten involved at the institute before and could intervene if it wanted to do so.

“Our mayor lied, and he’s still lying,” Chaverst said.

Cincinnati Police Doing Damage Control After Dirty Cops N-Tapped A Woman!

Cincinnati Police face numerous controversies. One recent one was a cop uttering a racial slur to a woman he arrested.
The Cincinnati Police are facing a lot of problems.

First things first, according to the junk food media, a high ranking officer was suspended. Mike Savard, the captain of the force was pulled from the beat and stripped of his rank for reasons unknown to the junk food media.

Two officers who were on the vice squad were stripped of their powers. See above. They are under federal watch. This officers are involved in stopping drug trafficking, prostitution and gambling.

The vice officers weren't identified.

A veteran member of the Cincinnati Police Department was recently arrested and has his police powers after he was accused of refusing to identify himself to a fellow officer during a crash investigation in a local neighborhood.

Andre Smith, a sergeant was arrested for failure to disclose information at the scene of crash. The cop crashed into another driver and put him in the hospital. Smith was possibly under influence of alcohol.

Some of the issues that police chief Eliot Isaac is facing includes turning a blind eye to corruption within the department.

Cincinnati Police also now have a big scandal on their hands. The incidents where white officers were using racial slurs towards suspects and fellow officers.

An lieutenant at the center of a lawsuit calling her "vindictive and openly racist" filed a lawsuit against the agency. Danita Pettis filed a lawsuit in federal court back in November. She accused white officers Tamera Brown and Joy Ludgatis of racism as well. The two women filed a lawsuit against Pettis in June claiming that a hostile work environment. Pettis believe the police union only plays favorites on both sides of the fence.

Pettis is accused of being a racial quota. She was promoted to rank of lieutenant despite having a shoddy background.

Only a few weeks ago, two officers were caught on body camera calling Black woman they apprehended a NIGGER.

The officer Dennis Barnette was arresting a woman at the Brownstone Nightclub when he used the slur against the woman. Barnette slammed the woman to the police cruiser and uttered the word while the woman was crying in pain.

The woman was accused of assaulting a police officer. The charges were dropped. Now the NAACP is involved and demand that Barnette and his partner involved to be fired out the cannon.

Trust me, since the death of Timothy Thomas in 2001, the Cincinnati Police have been struggling to clean house. One of their dispatchers ended up failing a teenager who was trapped in his vehicle. An officer used the Taser on a little girl who he accused of shoplifting out of a grocery store.

The Cincinnati Police continue to be a burden on people of color. Even with the decrease in violence, the agency can't muster enough time to fix these problems.

 There is a federal investigation into the whole department. It's considered a "felony theft." The new policy, released in weekly staff notes, essentially instruct police officials to use sound management principals of on-duty personnel and union contract provisions to control and reduce overtime expenditures in delivery of police services.

Under Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, the U.S. Justice Department did launch investigations into police departments like Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Chicago and New Orleans.

The Law Caught The Killer Of Jazmine Barnes!

The killer was caught. The power of activism led to the arrest of a man who killed Jazmine Barnes.
Social media managed to work in the wake of a tragic shooting of a 7-year old girl.

The individual apprehended was Black and these two men will face capital murder. These charges carry DEATH.


Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King told his millions of supporters that his hashtag #JusticeForJazmine helped big time.


Only a week ago, the junk food media was reporting on the shooting of Jazmine Barnes, a bright little girl who was victim of a drive-by shooting in metro Houston. The shooting happened near the Sam Houston Tollway.

As her mother, LaPaorsha Washington left a Walmart, she was traveling on the service road near the tollway. She wasn't expecting a gunman to shoot at her. She didn't know the shooter.
They got the suspect who killed Jazmine Barnes.
The shooter managed to ambush the vehicle. They shot Washington in the arm. They shot little Jazmine in the head. The other daughter was hit by flying glass.

The picture of the orange tarp over the vehicle was horrific. People took to action. If this didn't pick up junk food media attention, it would have been an unsolved mystery.

The break in the case was yesterday. The FBI, Harris County Boys and Houston Metro Police received tips on the whereabouts of the shooter.

I don't often mention the name of the shooter. I will say that the suspect is young and he wasn't the one who the law was looking for.

The shooter admitted that he shot at the vehicle.
Harris County boys released the sketch of a man who they thought was involved in the shooting.
"Investigators are continuing to pursue evidence that could possibly lead to other suspects being charged in this case," said the Harris County Sheriff's Office. "At this time, investigators do not believe Jazmine's family was the intended target of the shooting, and that they were possibly shot as a result of mistaken identity."

Before the arrest, police had released a sketch of the suspect Thursday complied from Washington and Jazmine's three sisters. The conservatives will start bemoaning about how progressives and Black activism targeted a white person for a crime he didn't commit.

Authorities said that white person was in his 40s. It turns out that the white guy was trying to flee gunfire. He wasn't the shooter but in the state of shock, Washington saw the first person around her.
The shooting was shocking to the nation.
It was an unprovoked attack.

Ed Gonzalez, the Harris County Sheriff said that these individuals who kept the shooter in hiding could face criminal charges as well.

The impact of Jazmine's death has been felt far and wide, and supporters have together to support the family.

Surviving R. Kelly!

The Lifetime documentary could trigger a state and federal investigation into R. Kelly.

The curtain is about to fall on the piped piper of R&B.

Lifetime's docu-series Surviving R. Kelly proved to be successful. Nearly 3 million people tuned in to the controversial documentary addressing Robert Sylvester Kelly.

Lifetime debuted the bombshell documentary series, "Surviving R. Kelly," in a special three-night-event to strong fanfare.

In the ground-breaking documentary series "Surviving R. Kelly," women are emerging from the shadows and uniting their voices to share their stories. Celebrated as one of the greatest R&B singers of all time, R. Kelly's genre defining career and playboy lifestyle has been riddled with rumors of abuse, predatory behavior, and pedophilia. Despite damning evidence and multiple witnesses, to date, none of these accusations have seemingly affected him. For the first time ever, survivors and people from R. Kelly's inner circle, are coming forward with new allegations about his sexual, mental, and physical abuse. They are now finally ready to share their full story and shed light on the secret life the public has never seen.

With over 50 interviews including civil rights activist Tarana Burke, musicians John Legend and Sparkle, talk-show host and former DJ Wendy Williams, ex-wife Andrea Kelly, ex-girlfriend Kitti Jones, brothers Carey and Bruce Kelly, and many others, the true story of R. Kelly's controversial past will be revealed beginning in 1970 through present day, shedding light on the R&B star whose history of alleged abuse of underage African American girls has, until recently, been largely ignored by mainstream media.

"Surviving R. Kelly" is executive produced by cultural critic, filmmaker and passionate activist Dream Hampton, Tamara Simmons, Joel Karlsberg and Jesse Daniels for Kreativ Inc. which has a production deal with Bunim/Murray Productions (BMP), and Brie Miranda Bryant from Lifetime. This program falls under Lifetime’s commitment to provide a platform to give women a voice where they have previously been unheard to bring awareness to the abuses and harassment of women.

Known for making hits, the 51 year old entertainer has face a backlash for allegedly enslaving women in his mansions.


Do you believe R. Kelly sexually abused women? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)

Yes. I believe he's been doing this for years. He has shielded himself as the "crown" of entertainment. Now it's time for the curtain to fall.
No. I believe that many of his accusers were willing to sleep with him. They are often upset that he's move on past them and now they seek to ruin a good man's reputation.
Yes. I believe the accusers. At first, I didn't want to believe the accusers. After watching "Surviving R. Kelly," I have to reconsider that my favorite musician is a rapist.
No. This is celebrity gossip.If you're so concerned with R. Kelly, why don't you focus on Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Donald Trump. They have accusations of sleeping with underage girls. No documentaries about them. I want real proof.
I have no comment on R. Kelly. I want to see how this play out before I pass judgement.
Other
Please Specify:

There's allegations that he forces women to perform sex acts on him. The women are forced to be locked in private rooms (packed with entertainment). These women are told when to leave and speak to their families or the junk food media.

The MeToo Movement and Time's Up movement have started a Mute R. Kelly protest.

The entertainer is often forced off concert tours and has his music slimmed down on many mainstream radio stations.
In one of the recording studios, a cup of urine and semen covered stains on the floor.
Many of his current and former associates are talking about his love for the young. Allegations stemming all the way back to the 1990s. R. Kelly had allegedly molested and raped teenage girls since his rise.

The rumored brief marriage to Aaliyah also became a topic of discussion.

The program has also a feature from the EGOT award winner John Legend. The entertainer said that he believes the accusers. Legend, who appears in the final installment of "Surviving R. Kelly" on Saturday, spoke out against R. Kelly's actions.

Members of R. Kelly's inner circle, his alleged victims and their family members were also featured on the program, but it was reportedly hard for Detroit author and filmmaker Dream Hampton to find any other musicians who would discuss the allegations on camera.
