Trump gets a lukewarm greeting from Dayton mayor Nan Whaley and Sherrod Brown.
The imbecile and Melania Trump do a pass through Dayton before they head to El Paso.
Trump did visit Dayton, Ohio briefly. He was supposed to tour the Oregon District and have a somber moment with residents. Turns out he didn't appear at the entertainment district. He visited the corporate Premier Health hospital. He met with three victims (likely supporters) and medical officials. He met with the CEO, Mary H. Boosalis of Premier Health. She closed Good Samaritan Hospital.
He arrived at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to greet Gov. Mike DeWine, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) and mayor Nan Whaley.
He traveled down Interstate 675 and U.S. 35 highways. He exited towards the Premier Hospital.
Once he left after he spent less than two hours in Dayton.
Just left Dayton, Ohio, where I met with the Victims & families, Law Enforcement, Medical Staff & First Responders. It was a warm & wonderful visit. Tremendous enthusiasm & even Love. Then I saw failed Presidential Candidate (0%) Sherrod Brown & Mayor Whaley totally.....
....misrepresenting what took place inside of the hospital. Their news conference after I left for El Paso was a fraud. It bore no resemblance to what took place with those incredible people that I was so lucky to meet and spend time with. They were all amazing!o
.@POTUS and @FLOTUS departing Ohio after spending almost two hours with shooting survivors, family members, first responders, & medical staff at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. Truly special moments for everyone that was present. Air Force One now wheels up for El Paso, Texas... https://t.co/wxn5fmTi5y
Very SAD to see Ohio Senator Brown, & Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley - LYING & completely mischaracterizing what took place w/ the President’s visit to Miami Valley Hospital today. They are disgraceful politicians, doing nothing but politicizing a mass shooting, at every turn they can..
Whaley and Brown both condemned the visit saying that he wasn't sincere in coming.
Not sure what the President thinks @SenSherrodBrown and I misrepresented. As we said, the victims and first responders were comforted by his presence. Let’s hope he’s not one of these all talk, no action politicians and actually does something on gun control. #DoSomething
On Monday, Trump flubbed in his press conference. In his closing remarks, he said, "God bless the many victims of Toledo" and it went viral.
In the video, posted on his Twitter fed, he is filmed from The Beast showing Dayton's skyline and he greets with Premier Health workers and took photos.
Now he's heading to El Paso to greet Gov. Greg Abbott, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and mayor Dee Margo. He will speak about the mass shooting at the Walmart, meet with victims and greet supporters. He will address the city around 6pm.
Former lawmaker and presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke denounced the visit.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Amy McGrath, the potential opponent and others call out America's most hated politician for the actions of his campaign team.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) (born Addison Mitchell McConnell, Jr.) is the most inept lawmaker in Washington. McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader and fellow Kentucky senator, Republican Rand Paul (Randall H. Paul) have been more a problem than a solution.
McConnell earned the nickname "Moscow Mitch" after he failed to enact the House passed bill on election safety.
Far white men pose with cutout of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
They've opposed Barack Obama during his two terms as president. They denied Obama his third pick for the Supreme Court. They eagerly voted Donald J. Trump's Supreme Court nominees without any care in the world.
Many Democrats and progressives are hoping to line up candidates strong enough to send these fucktards back to their hometowns.
Social media slammed McConnell and his campaign staff yesterday after pictures of a group of boys surfaced. The boys were with a cardboard cutout of Ocasio-Cortez allegedly groping and manhandling it.
The photo shows seven young white men, all of them wearing, "Team Mitch" T-Shirt, surrounding the cutout of the progressive lawmaker. One is even mockingly kissing the cutout. Another has his hand near the neck of the cutout.
The lawmaker responds to the inept senator through her social media.
Hey @senatemajldr - these young men look like they work for you.
Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress w/ your payroll, or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch?
Also, the potential opponent McConnell is facing is fuming as well.
Amy McGrath has decided to challenge McConnell in 2020. The former military veteran has slammed McConnell as well.
Hours after the El Paso shooting, Mitch McConnell proudly tweeted this photo. I find it so troubling that our politics have become so nasty and personal that the Senate Majority Leader thinks it's appropriate to use imagery of the death of a political opponent (me) as messaging. pic.twitter.com/2x5kO5jwPi
McGrath as well as former Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, Kentucky secretary of state Alison Lundergan Grimes and Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal policy were placed on tombstones.
McConnell's campaign team said that the Democrats are demonizing high school students.
"We've watched for years as the far-left and the media look for every possible way to demonize, stereotype, and publicly castigate every young person who dares get involved with Republican politics. These young men are not campaign staff, they're high schoolers and it's incredible that the national media has sought to once again paint a target on their backs rather than report real, and significant news in our country. Team Mitch in no way condones any aggressive, suggestive, or demeaning act toward life sized cut outs of any gender in a manner similar to what we saw from President Obama's speechwriting staff several years ago."
This type of shit is an example of why white extremism is a danger to the country.
Isn't Ocasio-Cortez a young person who is daring to get involved? She is being publicly castigated, stereotyped and demonized by McConnell and the far-white.
The lawmaker as well as Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) were told to "go back" by Trump.
She has been subjected to death threats, racist emails, insults on her intelligence and her looks.
A woman of color who wants to make lives better for her constituents is vilified by Trump and the far-white agitators on Fox News and talk radio.
We have two mass shootings in the United States. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is urging McConnell to come back to the Senate and get the ball rolling.
McConnell isn't coming. He is nursing an arm injury. He hurt himself after a fall on his patio.
Paul also going through surgery. He is getting a partial removal of his lung after his infamous fight with a neighbor in Bowling Green. He is not coming back either. Nor is Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH).
He's too busy gearing up for his reelection campaign.
Toni Morrison, the famed African American author who was best known for her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Beloved died at the age of 88. Morrison, who was nearly 40 when she published her first novel in 1970, wasn't an overnight success.
Former president Barack Obama tweeted a response to Morrison after her passing.
Toni Morrison was a national treasure, as good a storyteller, as captivating, in person as she was on the page. Her writing was a beautiful, meaningful challenge to our conscience and our moral imagination. What a gift to breathe the same air as her, if only for a while. pic.twitter.com/JG7Jgu4p9t
Morrison is one of the world's most influential writers. She passed away after a short bout of illness according to her family.
She was an American novelist, essayist, editor, teacher and professor emeritus at Princeton University.
Morrison (born Chloe Ardelia Wofford) was born in Lorain, Ohio, a city that was divided on racial lines and the golden boom of industrialism. Her family fled the south to settle in Ohio. Her mother grew up in Greenville, Alabama and her father grew up in Cartersville, Georgia.
She said that her father was 15 years old when a mob of white people lynched two black businessmen on his street. She said that he was traumatized by this. He would flee the South to settle in Lorain.
Lorain was safer but was deeply segregated. The city was booming with steel manufacturing. Her father, George was working odd jobs and trying to make ends meet for Toni and her three siblings.
Her mother Ramah was a homemaker and devout member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She would often take the children to church and taught Sunday school.
Toni had two sons. Her oldest son Harold (left) and Slade (center). Slade passed away of cancer in 2010.
When Morrison was about two years old, her family's landlord set fire to the house they lived in, while they were at home. The family were struggling to pay the rent and the landlord was demanding they pay up or pay the price.
She would learn how the world worked at an early age. She started to engage in reading of Jane Austen and Leo Tolstoy. She would start learning about African heritage and American history.
She would learn about African-American folktales and ghost stories and spiritual songs.
She would become a Catholic at the age of 12 and took the baptismal name of Anthony (the Saint Anthony), which led to her pen name of Toni.
After attending Lorain High School, she would enroll in Howard University seeking the knowledge of her fellow Black intellectuals. The University of Washington, DC were she took classes at also was considered very segregated at the time. She would learn how our nation's capital became a focal point of her writing. She saw racially segregated restaurants and buses in our nation's capital.
She would get married to Harold Morrison, a Jamaican architect in 1958. She would get pregnant while in Washington and gave birth to her first son, Harold, Jr. while in college. Before she divorced her husband, she gave birth to her second son, Slade.
Slade would die of pancreatic cancer.
Morrison began her storied career in letters as a college instructor at Texas Southern University and later at Howard, her alma mater.
In 1963, she took a position as a book editor at Random House based in Syracuse, New York, where she worked for 20 years before leaving in 1983. Morrison was editing the works of others when she published her first novel at age 39.
"I didn't become interested in writing until I was about 30 years old," she later said. "I didn't really regard it as writing then, although I was putting words on paper. I thought of it as a very long, sustained reading process -- except that I was the one producing the words."
President Barack Obama awarded Toni Morrison a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012.
"The Bluest Eye," about an impoverished and abused black girl who longs for blue eyes, was met with middling reviews but gained prestige when it was added to the City University of New York curriculum.
"Required reading," Morrison has said. "Therein lies the success."
The novel has been challenged and called offensive over the years by parents in communities across the country who say the subject matter, which involves incest and violence, is too raw for young readers.
Morrison went on to pen roughly a dozen novels, most lauded among them 1987's "Beloved," about a former slave who kills her baby to ensure it is never enslaved. "Beloved" won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and was a finalist for the National Book Award.
Her non-fiction work included 1974's collection of African-American historical ephemera "The Black Book," 1992's "Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination" and 2004's "Remember: The Journey to School Integration."
A regal presence who'd come to be associated with her crown of gray dreadlocks, Morrison had amassed a body of work that rivaled the most decorated American novelists by the late 1980s, though according to some she had not been fully recognized as the literary institution she was. Morrison herself had championed the work of black writers such as Toni Cade Bambara, Gayl Jones and Angela Davis while at Random House.
In 1988, a group of 48 black writers and thinkers published a statement in The New York Times in support of Morrison and other black writers and critical of the literary establishment, which seemed to have gone out of its way to pass them over for major writing awards.
"Despite the international stature of Toni Morrison, she has yet to receive the national recognition that her five major works of fiction entirely deserve: She has yet to receive the keystone honors of the National Book Award or the Pulitzer Prize," read the statement.
She received the Pulitzer for "Beloved" two months later.
The novel was adapted into a 1998 film directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover and Thandie Newton. The movie was not a success.
Morrison encountered personal tragedy in 1993 when her home burned down, and in 2010 with the death of her son Slade at age 45 from pancreatic cancer. She had collaborated with Slade, a visual artist whom she called a "brilliant writer," on a series of children's books.
The lows were countered by the highest of heights. The same year her son died, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for her body of work to that point.
"One can delight in her unique narrative technique, varying from book to book and developed independently, even though its roots stem from Faulkner and American writers from further south.
The lasting impression is nevertheless sympathy, humanity, of the kind which is always based on profound humour," said the Nobel committee in announcing the award in 1993.
President Barack Obama awarded Morrison the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012 -- the loftiest US honor for a civilian.
The author preferred to let her work speak for her, often appearing publicly as an inscrutable grand dame, reluctant to talk about personal affairs. However, writing, she said, was the one space where she really could be larger than life.
"All of my life is doing something for somebody else," Morrison told New York magazine in 2012.
"Whether I'm being a good daughter, a good mother, a good wife, a good lover, a good teacher -- and that's all that. The only thing I do for me is writing. That's really the real free place where I don't have to answer."
Given that independence, it was perhaps ironic that she stuck with her married name on her books. ("Toni" was a high school nickname.) She'd used it for "The Bluest Eye" and later regretted it, she said.
"Wasn't that stupid?" she said. "I feel ruined!"
The people who know her best call her Chloe, she added.
"Chloe writes the books."
Morrison, author of seminal works of literature on the black experience such as "Beloved," "Song of Solomon" and "Sula" and the first African-American woman to win a Nobel Prize, has died, her publisher Knopf confirmed to CNN.
Morrison's novels gazed unflinchingly on the lives of African Americans and told their stories with a singular lyricism, from the post-Civil War maelstrom of "Beloved" to the colonial setting of "A Mercy" to the modern yet classic dilemmas depicted in her 11th novel, "God Help the Child."
Her talent for intertwining the stark realities of black life with hints of magical realism and breathtaking prose gained Morrison a loyal literary following. She was lauded for her ability to mount complex characters and build historically dense worlds distant in time yet eerily familiar to the modern reader.
Morrison was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Humanities Medal, the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
Trump-supporting moron Mike DeWine gets an earful of angry Dayton residents.
The Republicans want to pass "red flag" laws. That's another stupid idea. It's basically saying that to a mass shooter, you gotta be a nut to not get a gun.
Every time they claim these white terrorists are mentally ill, I want to scream. These folks knew what they were doing. Fuck that nonsense. It's a fucking cop-out.
You guys better get something straight here, it's about the firearms, not the man. You got easy access to these things and these idiots are willing to grab a firearm without any repercussions. Blaming mental health is ridiculous. Anyone can obtain a firearm.
These white terrorists are sane. They didn't give a fuck about who they've killed. They killed people of color because that's their motive and credo.
As Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence make preparations to head to El Paso and Dayton for photo-ops and campaign style rallies, the nation is demanding Congress do something now.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) somehow injured himself in his Louisville home. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) also is going into surgery after his altercation last year with a neighbor in Bowling Green.
Somehow the two inept Kentucky senators are going to take a pass on getting the House bill on gun violence passed.
Yesterday, Gov. Mike DeWine, the bumbling Ohio leader went to Dayton to soothe the crowd.
The crowd decided to give him, Nan Whaley, Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) an earful.
The governor was trying to reflect on the death of one of his children when the crowd just said directly to him, "Do something!"
For years, I've listened to Sean Hannity. Since 2007, I've listened to and heard the repetitiveness of him. I think he has adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I'm not a doctor but I can certainly tell you how he acts on television, radio and social media is typical of a hyperactive man.
Every August, I often get to do another edition of The Sean Hannity Word Vomit.
It's dedicated to the country's most hated far-right agitator. He is by far the most annoying, condescending, bigoted and downright stupid media personality. He has an audience of millions and profits yearly off the divisiveness of this country.
He waited a long time to become the most watched and listened to media personality. Believe me he had to follow Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly for years as the second.
Now as the reigning king of talk and cable news, the agitator has more clout. The media has been focusing on him and his close relationship with the President of the United States. They believe that he is influencing Trump's governing. Many in the White House grumble that Hannity is causing chaos.
His years of peddling bullshit helped elected Donald J. Trump to be our president. Now he's lavishing in being the unofficial advisor of the president. Hannity is doing so many unethical things as a media personality it's mind-boggling. Many other personalities were punished doing far less than what he's done.
No one is willing to stop him over at Fox News, Cumulus Entertainment and iHeartMedia.
Rupert Murdoch is relishing in the revenue of Fox News and its primetime line up.
Fox Corporation which owns Fox News Channel hasn't reign in on Hannity.
Hannity was caught up in numerous controversies and not once he's been either suspended or fired out the cannon.
What will be Sean Hannity's most notable controversy? (Expect far-right trolls to pick the dumbest answers)
The most notable controversy is the fact that Hannity has put on former Trump lawyer and personal fixer Michael Cohen. The disgrace Cohen is serving a four year bid in federal time out. In 2018, a federal judge ordered Cohen to disclose is clients. A mysterious third client came up. When the lawyers for Cohen revealed the name, the courtroom and media gasped. It was Hannity.
Hannity failed to disclose that he had personal dealings with Cohen. He has hosted Cohen on his program numerous times without acknowledging him as personal attorney. Hannity quickly denied he ever had any affiliation with Cohen and spoon fed Trump during his trip to Vietnam about Cohen apologizing to him personality about that.
Hannity has failed to acknowledge Trump's other attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Jay Sekalow, Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenova worked for him as well.
Hannity also was featured in a campaign video without proper acknowledgement to Fox News.
Hannity and Jeanine Pirro were special guest at a rally in Missouri. Trump announced that future senator Josh Hawley, Mike Pence, Rush Limbaugh, Pirro and Hannity would be guest at his get out to vote rally. Hannity quickly denied that he would be on stage at a political rally. He said that he was doing an interview with the president. That turned out to be a lie. Trump immediately called Hannity onstage to give statements. When Hannity appeared on stage, he immediately called the media "fake news" and it pissed off Fox News hosts and people behind the scenes. Hannity got a stern talking to but no punishment.
Hannity has a history of promoting the far-right/white extremist QAnon kookspiracy. He has been on this fixation of the "deep state" and how Hillary Clinton, the losing candidate rigging an election to ensure Trump would never win. He has hosted numerous agitators on his right wing carnival and television program without checking credentials. He has hosted Sara Carter, an opinion contributor who he touts as an "investigative journalist" numerous times on his show. I don't want to start rumors but I believe that Hannity and Carter had an affair.
He invited her to go with him to Singapore, Vietnam, the United Kingdom and Sweden. During those times, Trump met with Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin. Hannity never took his wife or children with him on these trips.
Hannity was told many times to not call Sara Carter, The Hill's opinion contributor John Solomon and Greg Jarrett as "investigative journalists." He ignores the rules and keep calling them "great journalists."
He also continues to allow Sebastian Gorka, a disgraced White House official on his show despite Fox News banning him from the building.
Hannity's children also got a leg up from Trump and his administration. Hannity managed to pull strings and got his son and his tennis team a visit to the White House. Hannity is hoping to get his children into elite conservative-leaning colleges with the help of Trump and U.S. Education Secretary Betsy Devos.
It was revealed that Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson gave Hannity a sweetheart deal when it came to refurbishing homes in the metro Atlanta area. Hannity and his partners made $100 million selling off apartments and rental homes. Some residents complained that their properties are dilapidated and didn't know that far-right agitator was one of the main landlords.
He has hosted Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks on his program. Assange, at the time was living in an Ecuadorian embassy in London was warned numerous times to not speak publicly to the press without permission from the government. Assange ignored the rules and allowed far-white troll Chuck Johnson, former lawmaker Dana Rohrabacher, Pamela Anderson and Hannity into the embassy. Assange continuously promoted the notion that a former Democratic National Committee worker gave him the John Podesta emails and helped Wikileaks hack into the DNC's emails.
That led to Hannity running the Seth Rich murder kookspiracy. For weeks, Hannity has ran the notion that Rich gave Wikileaks the DNC emails. That was proven false. The Russian government and its intelligence agencies ran a campaign to tarnish Rich. The former DNC staffer was murdered in Washington, DC in a botched robbery. To this day, Hannity, Alex Jones and others continue to believe that Rich had a part in the Wikileaks scandal.
Sean Hannity is the number one talk radio host and cable news host in the United States. With that power, he has managed to indoctrinate millions of listeners and viewers.
Those listeners and viewers will likely become potential white terrorists.
Some of those terrorists often cite far-right agitators like Hannity as one of their influences.
Nevada rancher and militia movement leader Cliven Bundy got media coverage over his cattle grazing into a federal protected land. In 2014. Hannity led the way in a federal standoff where Bundy and his armed supporters were vowing to attack U.S. government agents who wanted to serve him a warrant for violating federal law. Hannity at first believed that Barack Obama was punishing the "forgotten man" and believed Bundy had a right to do whatever he pleased. A week later, Hannity had to distance himself from the rancher after he made racist remarks about Black people.
Bundy as well as former caller and known white extremist Hal Turner believe Hannity is a closet racist and huckster. They believe he comes into a controversy with all the grandeur and backs away when it suits his purposes.
I remember Hannity got a woman fired from a call center. He and his producers made a prank call to the Affordable Care Act Marketplace. He talked to a woman named Earline and asked her personal and unethical questions about the ACA (Obamacare). He force the woman to tell his audience that Obamacare was not living up to its expectations. He got her fired from her job. He promised to help the woman get another job. He even offered a measly $20,000 to help with her rent and child's expenses. He promised to keep up with her in the future. Five years later, no mention of Earline. He never got in trouble for that.
I had to take a break from his word vomit for nearly two months. I had gotten tired of him constantly reminding his audience of Hillary Clinton's emails, FISA warrants and the Christopher Steele Trump dossier. I bet you some of his listeners get tired of him bringing up Clinton everyday on right wing carnival and cable news program.
It's like he's still stuck on 2016 and not today.
Now in the wake of two mass shootings in the United States, as expected, Hannity would run to the defense of Trump.
He immediately went into the political views of one of those white terrorists. This is one of the usual asinine themes of far-right agitators. They often try to label mass shooters and potential terrorists as "registered Democrats" in order to deflect from the fact these terrorists have easy access to firearms.
Matter of fact, the far-right and the National Rifle Association claims that all white mass shooters have mental illness. That's a deflection from addressing white nationalism and gun violence.
He claims that the Democrats and the junk food media "rush to judgement" when it comes to tragedies in America.
Given that Trump has whipped up his supporters with rhetoric many see as racist and divisive, Hannity has been constantly trying to denounce those who criticize him. Hannity constantly brings up Barack Obama, the former U.S. president he's demonized throughout his two terms.
Just today on his right wing carnival, he brought up Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Stormy Daniels, immigrants, radical Islam, Jeremiah Wright, Fast & Furious, Freddie Gray, Bill Ayers, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Chicago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), shithole, Henry Louis Gates (and the Cambridge Police).
None of them had anything to do with the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton.
Hannity was trying to repetitively point out the "hypocrisy of the left."
He offered the tired old "hiring extra security" when it comes to mass shootings. The police in the Dayton mass shooting were there within 30 seconds. The white terrorist managed to shot 40 people with a high powered firearm and got nine within seconds.
Trump today flubbed on Dayton by saying "God bless the people of Toledo, Ohio."
Fox News pretty much buried the flub while CNN, MSNBC and other cable news outlets panned Trump for the mistake and the lack of substance in his presser.
Even Hannity choose to avoid the gaffe. Hannity would bring up Obama and Joe Biden's gaffes in response.
I've dubbed Hannity as the "official softball" of the Donald J. Trump administration. I did it for good reason. During his feud with Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), Hannity said that he "goes easy" on Republicans and offered Sasse an hour on his right wing carnival.
I've often noticed that Hannity has a history of name-calling opponents. So I decided to give him a nickname as well.
Some folks are starting to pick up on his nickname and I hope that folks start calling him "Softball Hannity."
Because you notice that every interview with Trump, Hannity has often tried to spoon feed the president bullshit without fact-checks. Matter of fact, the questions are so stupid, even Trump has questioned why Hannity is such a lapdog.
I remember in the 2016 Republican primaries, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and John Kasich have openly complained to Fox News about the way Hannity's interviewed them.
They figured that Hannity and his old boss Roger Ailes were full-blown Trump supporters.
Cruz got into a heated feud with Hannity when the agitator brought up an allegation made by Trump on delegates being stolen and a brokered convention. The two made peace during the 2018 U.S. Senate reelection against Beto O'Rourke. The senator didn't address Hannity for nearly two years.
Hannity has also been notorious for peddling bullshit. It's caught the attention of groups like Sleeping Giants and Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group that tracks conservatives and white extremism on television.
Media Matters for America has a lengthy track record of Hannity. The progressive media watch group has asked advertisers to make consideration to the kind of products that are being sold during Hannity's program.
Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters has launched a boycott against Hannity in 2017 during the Seth Rich and Roy Moore controversies. He managed to get 50 advertisers to sever ties with him. Carusone and Media Matters are going to go hard on Fox News. They are hoping to convince advertisers, Rupert Murdoch and his stockholders that Fox News is bad for business.
Yet, Hannity survived the boycott and continues to strive.
We all agree that Hannity is a well paid agitator. But in fact, he's by far the most annoying and condescending media personality to ever exist. His right wing carnival is nothing but a screamfest.
He is a serial name dropper and within a two minute rant, you'll hear Trump, Obama or Clinton come out of it.
The man has a crazy obsession with dropping names more than he can drop an actual sentence.
Now I will be pretty blunt when I say this about him.
SEAN HANNITY IS FUCKING ANNOYING. HE IS PRETTY UNBEARABLE TO LISTEN TO IN PUBLIC. HE SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS ADULT ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER. BECAUSE OF HIS DEMEANOR AND THE WAY HE SNIPES AT PEOPLE ARE NOTABLE SIGNS. MIND YOU I AM NOT A DOCTOR BUT I JUST SENSE IT BY THE WAY HE ACTS. I MEAN HE IS SUCCESSFUL FOR HIS SCHITCK. YELLING, INTERUPTTING GUESTS, REPEATING HIMSELF CONTINUOUSLY AND DEHUMANIZING AMERICANS IN SUCH A NEGATIVE FASHION IS VERY PROFITABLE. THIS FORMULA WORKS SO WELL FOR HANNITY, RUSH LIMBAUGH, MICHAEL SAVAGE, MARK LEVIN AND GLENN BECK. THEY ARE OLD WHITE MEN WHO ARE STUCK IN THE 20TH CENTURY. LIKE TED KOPPEL, JIM ACOSTA AND JOHN MCCAIN SAID, "THEY RELISH ON PITTING AMERICANS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER." THEY ENJOY WATCHING GRIDLOCK AND CONGRESS TO GRIND TO A STOP. THE ONE THING THAT MAKES SEAN HANNITY STICKS OUT IS THE FACT HE IS JUST LIKE DONALD TRUMP. HE IS EVERYTHING WRONG WITH CONSERVATISM. RUSH LIMBAUGH AT LEAST GETS HIS OLD ASS OFF THE BLAME EVERYONE OBSESSION FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. HANNITY IS GOING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW BARACK OBAMA, HILLARY CLINTON, JAMES COMEY, ROD ROSENSTEIN, PETER STRZOK AND LISA PAGE ARE PART OF THE "DEEP STATE" AND SERIOUSLY WANTED CLINTON TO WIN BY LEAKING AN EMBARRASSING DOSSIER ABOUT TRUMP HIRING TWO RUSSIAN PROSTITUTES TO URINATE ON A BED OBAMA WAS PLANNING ON SLEEPING IN. NONE OF THIS IS PROVEN TRUE. SERIOUSLY, I HEARD EITHER TRUMP CLINTON OR OBAMA'S NAME IN EVERY MONOLOGUE. HE SPENT A HOUR OF RANTING ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON ALLEGEDLY PAYING FOR A "PHONY FAKE (BOUGHT AND PAID FOR) RUSSIAN DOSSIER" AND HIS OBSESSION TO FIRE GOVERNMENT WORKERS WHO ARE INVESTIGATING DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES. MIND YOU, HANNITY IS UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION AS WELL.
Hannity seems like a nice person in public. However whenever he opens that mouth either you want to walk away from him or you want to sock him.
Hannity claims he's not a journalist but attacks journalism.
Hannity claims he's not a Republican but promotes Republican policies and Trump's the standard bearer of the party itself.
Hannity claims he gets his sources from credible groups. So far he's gotten his "sources" from his alleged mistress Sara Carter, John Solomon, The Drudge Report, Infowars, The Gateway Pundit, Breitbart and World Net Daily.
They promote fake stories and propaganda.
Fox News is truly becoming Trump TV. Every night, the network delivers the agenda and the potential threats made by Trump. Even the kookspiracy about the "deep state" is being played night after night on the cable news shows.
That's why Hannity is successful. Fox News (in particular Hannity) is peddling bullshit to Trump and in return, the president promotes a bullshit agenda. As a reward, Hannity is given unprecedented access to Trump. Hence forth the "softball" interviews and Freudian slips.
Hannity's cult believes the junk food media is out to get him and Trump. There's nothing we can do to change their minds.
I predict before 2020, we will likely see a lot less of Sean Hannity.
It is time for Fox News to cut him loose. I call upon Rupert Murdoch and board executives to fire Sean Hannity out of the cannon. He is a toxic figure who is getting paid to divide Americans. We should not be subjected to divisiveness on the public airwaves.
Note, I usually call him Sean "Softball" Hannity. I don't often say President Donald Trump. I despise calling the former reality television star and billionaire, President of the United States. I will refer Trump as president whenever necessary.
Trump flubs speech on the deadly mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton.
Dayton, Ohio is the sixth largest city in the state. It's the county seat of Montgomery County.
Montgomery County, Ohio went to Donald J. Trump in 2016.
Okay, more thoughts and prayers and little action from our dear leader.
The junk food media has all but ignored the mass shooting in Dayton.
The forgotten city had a white terrorist massacre nine folks in the Oregon District, a popular entertainment district in the city. Of the nine victims, six of the individuals were Black.
Noticing that the junk food media ain't talking about that! They're not rushing to judgement on the claim that this was racially motivated.
It came hours after another white terrorist massacred 20 folks in an El Paso Walmart.
Around 10am, the imbecile addressed the nation.
He made a slight error in his "God Bless" closing.
"If we are able to pass great legislation after all of these years, we will ensure that those who were attacked will not have died in vain. May God bless the memory of those who died in Toledo. May God protect them," Trump said.
He gonna say that was "fake news" and he didn't say Toledo in his prepared remarks. But many folks caught it. The mayor of Dayton, Nan Whaley was pissed about the remarks.
He can't even get the city right.
"I've heard that [Trump's] coming Wednesday but I have not gotten a call,” Whaley said. “And you know he might be going to Toledo, I don't know."

The gaffe was big. Because the irony of this whole ordeal is that Dayton, Ohio went to a Republican for the first time in nearly 40 years.
The city so far has lost a hospital, five major retailers, a local telecommunications firm and numerous businesses across the region. The city had the Klan come to do anti-immigrant protest. There were four EF-4 tornadoes that ripped through Dayton and its suburbs. The federal government is still slow walking on this.
Now a mass shooting and the "feel goodism" from Trump turns into another controversy.
The speechwriter who prepared Trump's teleprompter had prepared Toledo in his remarks.

It shows that Trump doesn't give a fuck about us. Just like Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Flint, El Paso and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Trump called for the nation to denounce white nationalism, racism, and bigotry in his remarks.
"In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated," Trump said. "Hate has no place in America."
I don't believe him.
After all, there were "very fine people" on both sides.
By the way, Cloudflare has terminated its partnership with 8Chan.
Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said the anonymous internet forum's "lawlessness" had caused "multiple tragic deaths."
Cloudflare’s CEO, Matthew Prince, wrote in a blog post that his company was dropping 8chan, which the Anti-Defamation League has tied to the rise of online extremism, after gunmen in Christchurch, New Zealand, and Poway, California, also used the site.
They need to do something about N-----mania also. Cloudflare allows this white extremist website to continue to relish online.
Expect more of these mass shootings. This terrorist becomes a martyr to white extremism.
Underneath that rock.
I read the word vomit from some who visited Journal de la Reyna.
I am certainly thankful that we attracted readers. However, I am getting really tired of folks posting bullshit on this blog. I've said it time after time about reading this blog.
We here at Journal de la Reyna tolerate race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, social and economic standings. I am bias against conservatives, libertarians, concern trolls, white nationalists and bullshit peddlers. I don't have apologize for being real about this. I am an unapologetic blogger.
Ask me if I care what they think?
Nope.
Not at all.
Magnifying glass and highlight option.

Was he on flomaximal? mrl said... you say a lot - but you offer no solutions. Anonymous said... I can tell you the reason for the phenomenon of mass shootings, but you won't like it. Guns are a red herring. Mass shootings were nearly unheard of back when it was MUCH easier to own a gun. In the 1920s children could order tommy guns through the mail with no questions asked. Your parents probably remember a time when kids had loaded shotguns in the back of their trucks while attending class, for hunting after school. No one even imagined that anyone would want to go on a rampage through a school with a gun. It was unheard of back then. There is ZERO evidence that simply having access to guns or gun hobbyists makes you want to kill innocent people. Mental health is also a nonstarter. There have always been people with mental health issues, and modern treatments are supposedly greatly improved. If mass shooters, a phenomenon that started in the 1990s, are the result of mental health issues, then what happened to make us all go crazy all of a sudden? Well, something happened, and when the 60s kids grew up and tried to raise families of their own is when the sickness manifested. Here are the 10 most deadly mass shootings in the US since Columbine (prior to this latest one), WITH the belief system of the shooter: -Las Vegas (atheist) -Orlando (Islamic) -Virginia Tech (atheist) -Sandy Hook (atheist) -Springs Church (atheist) -Parkland (atheist/agnostic) -San Bernardino (Islamic) -Columbine (atheist) -Wong (unknown) -Fort Hood (Islamic) That's pretty shocking in a country that is mostly Christian. Maybe start looking here if you want to do some old fashioned journalism. Here are the top 10 most deadly school shooters: -VA Tech (atheist) -Sandy Hook (atheist) -Parkland (atheist/agnostic) -Columbine (atheist) -Santa Fe (atheist) -Harper-Mercer (new age/occult) -Red Lake (atheist) -One Goh (unknown, nonreligious) -Eliot Rodger (atheist) -NIU (atheist) There are Left-wing and Right-wing, and apolitical mass shooters, but the common denominator is a thorough rejection of the previously dominant Christian worldview. Also: an outsized number of mass shooters lack fathers at home, and they tend to be effeminate males, which entirely contradicts the false narrative of "macho culture" contributing to gun violence. In past eras when masculinity was encouraged among males and kids played John Wayne with cap guns, none of them were shooting up their schools. I find it a bit perverse how many people gnash their teeth at the mention of "thoughts and prayers," howling that prayer is useless, when with any curiosity at all you could figure out pretty quickly that a nationwide lack of thoughts and prayers is what got us into this mess. You and your atheism can't this cultural quagmire because you made it possible.
Anonymous said... This killer in El Paso, the Christchurch shooter (whom he modeled himself after,) Anders Breivik, and church shooter Dylan Roof all fall under the umbrella of "alt-right" secularist racist killers. Their manifestos (these dorks always leave manifestos) make clear that they view the world in an entirely evolutionary and materialist sense, and consider their actions logical and practical. Some of them (the "Christian Identity" movement) associate Christianity with Europe and white people, and want to create a new secular, socialist version of it as Hitler tried to do, while others, like Richard Spencer, despise any form of religion whatsoever and want white people to give up on Christianity and embrace atheism or, in some cases, turn to the Nordic gods. On the opposite side of the spectrumare the secular leftist killers like Adam Lanza, Craig Stephen Hicks, and the Bernie Bro who tried to mass-murder Republican politicians on a baseball field. Political differences have always been present among us, but watch what happens as American officially becomes post-Christian. The secular Left and the secular Right will become increasingly militant, and anyone trying to work across the aisles will be considered a traitor. Nature abhors a vacuum and in the absence of a Divine Authority who dictates truth and morality and insists that we play nice, people will identify with their political ideologies and fight over them to the death, with a philosophy of "survival of the fittest" and "the ends justify the means." It's going to get worse. Anonymous said... I'm just another commenter wanting to say thank you for the info. Going to look it up. Would be interested in reading more.
DWCHAN said... No law will ever prevent a crime by one who is determined to be/become a criminal. Literally any person can find a way to commit mass murder if they/he/she/whatever has no concern for the lives of others nor for their own life. The sickness that brings them to murder is mental, not material. It is not the weapon that causes the crime, because weapons are inert until wielded by the attacker(s). More murders have been committed by criminals using blunt weapons than any other sort of weapon. More persons have been killed by negligent drivers than by blunt weapons wielded by the murderous criminals. Mass murdering criminals are most often encouraged to murder by ideology, greed, oppression, hate, and mental illness. The most dangerous mass murderers are most likely to use what they believe to be the most effective weapons available, and by available, I mean nearly everything could be conceivably turned into weaponry usable to kill nearly any number of victims. Write draconian laws to destroy every firearm. It will not stop the criminal from using a pressure cooker bomb. Ban pressure cookers. It will not stop the determined criminal from using a poison gas. Ban poison. It will not stop an educated criminal from using the internet, or a college education, to figure out how to make more. How about banning cooking knives (like in England); doesn't work, because any fool can make a knife and use it like was done recently in China at a bus stop, to kill dozens. So, lets give up on the oppressive legislation and work on finding and curing the madness. THAT is the only chance we have to succeed. Drop the hate speech. Fight the poverty that robs people of options to create meaningful lives. Fight the stupidity that says everyone deserves to be GIVEN all their needs FREE with no effort on their part, that just makes them dependent on others to carry their load when they are mostly capable of carrying their own load. It also makes a class of people who are forced to carry other peoples load with no reward for their efforts, making them bitter and likely to commit crimes of their own. While these changes are unlikely to come quickly, we need to become responsible for our own safety and the safety of those we love. That means that when evil strikes nearby and our death or safety, is only seconds away we need to respond effectively and immediately because the police are minutes away or further. We need to be able to either depart the scene of violence, or take control of that violence. The right to protect one's own life by whatever means is needed, is one right that MUST be reserved for the individual and not taken away by a society/law/politician that is too far away to help.
Two mass shootings over the weekend and folks across the country are doing what we do best, hashtags, thoughts and prayers and blame.
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. It's just meaningless platitudes and I am getting sick and tired of folks posting on social media saying they have their condolences for those killed by gun violence.
THERE IS NO GOD. GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Texas mother killed in El Paso Walmart massacre.
The shooter who killed 20 in El Paso was caught is being held in federal time out. He held hatred of Mexicans and Latinx Americans. He wrote a manifesto and pledge that he would rather die than face the faces of victims. He said that he wanted to be a martyr to white extremists.
The shooter who killed nine in Dayton was killed by the police was a incel. He had a hatred of Blacks and interracial relationships. He hasn't wrote a manifesto but he had a history of writing a "hit list." A mass shooter who killed his own sister and wanted to be a martyr to white extremists
Blaming everyone who isn't the shooter.
Turning to our respective corners.
White extremists seem to visit this blog quite frequently whenever there's a mass shooting or an issue involving a person of color committing a crime.
Ohio mother killed in Dayton bar massacre.
So I want to say once again to those who read this blog, thank you again for reading. However, if you don't agree with the postings, fine. We don't "figuratively speaking" point a gun to your head demanding you to read this.
My only regret is that those "anonymous" trolls are too scared to respond in name. They know what could happen if they were caught posting racist shit online.
Mind you these are the folks that are calling me and LaReyna racist because we are pointing out a symptom of mass shootings: The white man.
White males are more likely to commit mass shootings in the United States.
We are not in the business of answering trolls. One in particular seems to always poke his head out whenever we cover issues involving Black America.
Get it!
We're a Black blog and we got trolls who often comes on here to concern, insult and dismiss what we post.
I get it.
You want us to respond to every fucking response you leave here on the blog.
You want us to "wake up" from the bullshit of Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, progressive politics and get on the Trump Train. You really want us to stop the "cult of personality" complex when it comes to Obama.
You realize that you're a part of "cult of personality."
You know you really fucked up, right?
I am not going waste my time addressing the terrorists. I will not say the name of the El Paso and Dayton terrorists.
These trolls are ignorant. They can be ignorant all they want. This is America.
This country is more polarized, less religious, less educated, less motivated, highly overweight, and bloodthirsty. We hide behind platitudes and run on narratives about who's more right than factual.
We are driven to discourse by the junk food media and social media. I cannot stop it. I am not in the business to stop it. However, I do have control over how I read things on this blog. I have semi-control over what is posted on this blog. I am not planning on changing my views on Trump no time soon.
I really believe Trump and his allies are destined for failure. With that failure, comes the aftermath. We all fail if Trump continues to reign his bigotry and Republican keep control of the U.S. Congress.
Americans could reelect Trump. After all, Republicans are ramming through laws that make it harder to vote. They are passing weak gun laws that make it possible for individuals to possess firearms to kill people of color and law enforcement. The Republicans are trying to pass laws that restrict women from have termination. But once they have a child, the Republicans want to strip the safety net so no single mother can get food and housing for their family.
Gun violence is problem. We keep hearing these idiots often tell us "we're not going to like" their remarks on gun violence. Fuck this shit. I don't need to read your bullshit. I don't care about the bullshit you write.
It's pretty sad that this troll believes I worship a man. I don't go to church. I work too fucking much and make enough to survive. In this country, the so-called "Land of the Free" more Americans work longer hours for little pay.
Thank you capitalism. Your "milk and honey" has cost Americans more out of their pockets.
Look, whatever the fuck you call yourself, I am going to make this clear to you. Go find a blog that you can rant and rave about. We're not hear to appease your bullshit.
Like I've said before, we're not going anywhere.
The concern troll is the "a plague on both your houses" approach, where the concern troll tries to convince people that both sides of the ideological divide are just as bad as each other, and so no one can think themselves "correct" but must engage in endless hedging and caveats. This preys on a willingness to debate critics and allow dissent; everyone wastes time discussing the matter and bending over backwards, so as not to appear intolerant of disagreement, all to the great amusement of the troll.
I strongly disagree with your comments. I am not wasting time to respond other than what you're seeing here. If I waste time responding to trolls, it will get me no where.
I am not banning anyone from Journal de la Reyna, yet. I promise you that if you keep on trolling, I will find ways to isolate you from this blog.
Continue to read at your own peril.
We will not stop.
We will not be moved.
We will fight for the rights of people of color.
We will hold Donald J. Trump, Congress and those associated to them accountable.
We will not waste our time worrying about you or those who think like you.
We all have lives outside the blog. Why don't you move past our blog and find a blog that supports your views?

Three white supremacist attacks in 6 days. These race terrorists are organizing online and drawing encouragement from the way websites like YouTube attack and censor the black media who speak against them.
