Tension between the United States and Iran are still simmering.
Today, Donald J,. Trump decided offer an olive branch to the Iranian government. Also he wants to slap more sanctions on the country. He also demands the coalition to assist him if the U.S. does go to war with Iran.
Trump, the third U.S. president to be impeached while in office decided to openly attack Barack Obama for the mess he's created.
His presser this morning sounds like something he's pieced together from listening to that old fart Rush Limbaugh and his shadow advisor Sean "Softball" Hannity. It is a conspiracy dredged up by folks like John Solomon, Alex Jones and Breitbart. It's being promoted by fools like The Gateway Pundit and parroted through the outlets of credible journalists who fear being ridiculed for being "liberal."
Trump reacting to the Iranian ballistic missiles hitting the U.S. military bases in Iraq.
Now as a scripted Trump, he offers Iran an opportunity to come back to the table and work out a "great deal." He started off the month with threats against Iran. He said that he would obliterate cultural sites of Iran and force more sanctions on them.
Trump is also urging China, Russia, Germany, France and Britain to abandon the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Since the U.S. pulled out the Iranian deal, the world powers were shocked. The Iranian nuclear deal worked and Iran was keeping their word. But thanks to Israel and the Republican Party's ongoing obstruction of Obama's legacy, we're on the brink of a global war.
He also claimed that the U.S. destroyed the ISIS, 100%. That's patently false. The Islamic State continues to be a threat to both the U.S. and Iran. The Islamic State was defeated in Iraq in 2017, then lost the last of its land holding in Syria in March, marking the end of the extremist' self-declared caliphate.
He also decided to blame Obama for the missiles fired on the bases.
Trump offered no information supporting the contention that in regaining access to $150 billion of its assets that were frozen by sanctions, Iran used it to make missiles.
He also said that the U.S. doesn't need the Middle East oil. Then why are we still a country in strong demand. I mean Obama was hoping to get the U.S. off oil consumption. Trump wants to excel in bringing more oil into this country. Yet, the price of gasoline is still over $3 a gallon.
I just am wasting my time trying to decipher this hodge podge of far right bullshit.
Here's the video.
Let's let the fact-checkers do their job. I will do my job making sure I criticize every stupid thing Trump does. I will do my job and support the eventual Democratic nominee for president.
And even though, I believe the Democrat could lose, I want to at least see Trump fail.
If Trump fails, the Republicans fail and the U.S. will fail and we're very close to it.
We're staying on Vancouver Island. We want to be a family that's not trailed by the press.
That move to Canada is a permanent stay.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced they will no longer serve duties as members of the royal family. This move is unprecedented in modern family history.
The two will spend their time raising their son between British Columbia and England.
"After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive now role within this institution," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wrote on social media.
"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen."
That means they will no longer use full-time British royals. They will only appear whenever necessary.
Harry is the sixth in line of the throne. He will have to get behind his father, Prince Charles, 71, Prince William, 37, his children, George, Charlotte and Louis. Charles is the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip.
Of course the far-white in the United States and Great Britain will find some reason to attack Markle for the decision.
Ever since they've wed, the junk food media here in the U.S. and also Britain have been trashing her with racist bullshit. Markle and Harry met while she was filming Suits in Toronto. They have been dating for almost a year before they officially became an item.
When she was engaged, she was told to give up acting and activism.
She was always a person who wanted to do good for the community. He wanted to do what's good for the country. He was constantly derailed for taking flights and constantly partying. Now that he wants to be a "normal" person with a wife and child, they complain about that.
I believe it was a good idea.
Harry wants to be a father first and foremost. His son Archie deserves a full-time father who will give him the skills to be a man.
Harry learned that his mother Princess Diana died because of the tabloid agitators.
The move comes as the couple are embroiled in several lawsuits with the U.K. press and acknowledge feeling under strain earlier this fall amid tabloid pressure and tensions between Kate and Meghan.
Retired U.S. Army general and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, Sr. could see bars as convicted federal felon.
Flynn pled guilty in 2018 for failure to register as a foreign agent and lying to the FBI. He had found himself the sacrificial goat for Donald J. Trump.
Despite what Sean "Softball" Hannity says, Flynn admitted he was lying and knew the risk of lying to the federal authorities. He is a jeopardy of losing his military retirement and stripped of his military credentials.
Federal prosecutors have argued with the judge on what type of punishment Flynn should get since he's confessed and gave them enough information to help in the ongoing cases against current and former Trump associates.
The government's sentencing memo is a sharp rebuke to Flynn's new legal team. His old legal team has been targeting Robert Mueller and accused the FBI of withholding information that was favorable to Flynn.
That's false.
A judge rejected the arguments of Flynn's defense.
Of course, Flynn's issue is a part of the far-white kookspiracy known as the "DEEP STATE."
Emmet G. Sullivan, the U.S. District Judge of the U.S. Court for the District of Columbia has warned the defense to stop bullshiting him with conspiracies. Sullivan was nominated by Bill Clinton in 1995.
U.S. Attorneys have praised Flynn's willing cooperation. But soon as he got a phone call from Trump's biggest ass licker Softball Hannity, he changed tune.
Flynn "retreated from his acceptance of responsibility" and "therefore is not entitled to any such credit unless he clearly and credibly disavows those statements."
"It is clear that the defendant has not learned his lesson. He has behaved as though the law does not apply to him, and as if there a no consequences for his actions," prosecutors wrote in a court filing.
The court is asked for Flynn to be sentenced to federal time out for at least six months to five years.
Flynn could be pardoned by Trump if hes given less than five years in federal time out.
Flynn was then an agitator on Fox News and harsh critic of Barack Obama's policies in the Middle East.
Flynn was the guy who invented the "Lock Her Up" chant in response to Hillary Clinton and the DNC emails being hacked.
Flynn was in attendance of the RT celebration with former Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Vladimir Putin, the Russian Federation president.
Barack Obama warned Trump not to hire Flynn because of his shady dealing with Ukraine and Turkey. He said that Flynn could be blackmailed by foreign agents. Flynn may have a cheated on his wife with prostitutes.
His deputy national security advisor K.T. McFarland was also ousted after H.R. McMasters warned the NSA to avoid having her in the rankings due to her close ties to Flynn.
Flynn is the only National Security Advisor who served less than two weeks in office.
The Mississippi Lottery already in effect and two men tried to pass off an altered winning ticket.
American men tried to tamper with lottery tickets.
Mississippi joins the lottery. In 2018, the Mississippi legislature has made lottery sales legal in the state. The state had passed the Alyce G. Clarke Mississippi Lottery Law in 2018. It started officially in December and will introduce Powerball and Mega Million sales in late January.
So far, the state has net almost $2.8 million in sales since its launch. It's expected to get $68 million by the end of 2020.
To purchase tickets in Mississippi, you have to be 21 years old.
We'll get to the rules of the game at the end of this posting.
Okay, two morons who I will not name in this posting were accused of gluing on winning numbers onto a $5 scratch-off ticket.
They were bold enough to present a ticket to the Mississippi Lottery Commission. The folks at the commission office looked at that ticket, went into the backroom, laughed at it, called the law, delayed the two men from leaving and waited for them to be arrested.
They were deliberately tried to alter a ticket to give them the advantage of winning $100,000.
So they were criminally charged with counterfeiting an instrument of the state and conspiracy to commit a felony. They could face up to five years in the iron college.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The two men were from Columbus, Mississippi, a city that is 70 miles from Tupelo and Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
They were given a "no get out free card" and are currently in the Rankin County lockup.
Two Mississippi men have found themselves in lockup after they ran a fake ticket into the lottery commission.
The two idiots thought they can pass off a ticket that clearly is a forgery. They didn't realize that many of the tickets being sold in the state have barcodes and there's validation stations in the local stores and lottery offices.
So here's the run down of lottery.
Okay, the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are reaching record amounts. In 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands both games are played.
The Powerball is played on Wednesday and Saturdays before 11pm (EST).
Mega Millions is played on Tuesday and Fridays before 11pm (EST).
For $2 or $3 with the Power Play or the Multiplier, a player could win a huge fortune. Mind you that a huge fortune comes with a huge price. The thrill of being a lottery winner can be exciting. It can be fun and life changing. But if you don't take the steps to be a smart winner, you may end up broke quickly.
Whether you use my advice or not, I want to say thank you again for taking an opportunity to read it.
So you purchased your Powerball or Mega Millions ticket. You payed $2 or more for that chance to win. Cool, ain't it.
Your chances of winning this jackpot is 1:274 million.
Powerball drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The last bet before the drawing is at 9:59pm. All drawings for the Powerball are held at 10:59pm. The taping or live broadcast are done in Orlando at Universal Studios.
Mega Millions drawings are held on Tuesdays and Fridays. The last bet before the drawing is at 10:44pm. All drawings for Mega Millions are held at 10:59pm. The taping or live broadcast are done in Atlanta at the WSB-TV studios under the supervision of the Georgia State Lottery commission.
The minimum Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots starts at $40 million.
The Powerball tickets use the 5/69 and 1/26 matrix. Each ticket cost $2.00. You must pick 5 numbers from 1 to 69 white balls and the Powerball from 1 to 26. These numbers can be called out, played again, written down, digitally apped or automatically picked. Make sure you play your numbers correctly.
The Mega Millions tickets use 5/70 and 1/25 matrix. Each ticket cost $2.00. You must pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 white balls and the Mega Ball from 1 to 25. These numbers can be called out, played again, written down, digitally apped or automatically picked. Make sure you play your numbers correctly.
Anyway, the first thing you want to do whenever you purchase a lottery ticket, is have money on hand. The operator is required to take money before issuing a ticket. Make sure you have your numbers placed on either a betting card, your lottery app or a previous ticket. Most operators will help you plug numbers in through the terminal or place an automatic bet for you. However in the case of long lines or possible errors, it would be best to be prepared for the transaction. Some states do offer debit and credit transactions. Make sure you get your information from your local lottery commission.
You cannot cancel Powerball or Mega Millions tickets. They are property of your state (or territory's) lottery commission. Any alteration, distortion or underage playing will void the games.
If you alter a lottery ticket, it's a felony.
Second, make sure you write your name, phone number or email address on your ticket. If the ticket is lost, stolen, or damaged, you may find it harder to win over lottery officials. If you don't write your name on the lottery ticket and you lost it or a crooked lottery operator gets his hands on it: It's your word against the winner.
Mind you that lottery operators have a license number. The place that sold the winning ticket does keep records of the transaction. The tickets are time stamped, verified and authorized. If you lose the ticket, make sure you file a police report. Do not get on television saying that you lost the ticket. It could cause a panic and if you're lying about it, you could face charges of misleading or filing a false police report.
If you are the winner of a Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot and the amount is a lot, I would recommend you take a picture of the winning ticket. It will also be insurance if you happen to lose the ticket.
If you have a picture of the ticket and you have a police report, it's likely you have a case against the person who stole your ticket.
In most states, the required age to play the lottery is 18 years or older. Do not let anyone under the playing age purchase a ticket or lottery game. The operator could lose their license or you will forfeit your prize if the regional lottery operator determined that an underage player was the winner.
If you win the Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot, hire a qualified lottery and huge sum lawyer. Make sure that a large sum lawyer is certified in dealing with lottery wins. Don't entrust your winning with a law firm that doesn't know how to deal with lottery winnings, investment or day trade.
If you win the Powerball, Mega Millions or multi-state games, make sure you cancel your phone number and email address. Get rid of social media. Cancel your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Snapchat, Instagram, Whatsapp, YouTube and Dailymotion accounts. Cancel your Tinder, POF, Badoo, Grindr, OKCupid, Match profiles or social meeting profiles. It eliminates the junk food media from finding you and putting your face, name and contacts in the public arena.
Create a will and trust fund. You should have a trustee come forward on your behalf.
Make an investment in your money. Put your money in a trust fund if you have children or family members you can trust if you should die. Make a will or entrust. Make sure you know that you have a family member or a trusted friend who will take care of the winnings once you pass away.
If you're bragging about you're winnings, that's fine. But you best believe that you should cancel out your social media immediately. There's too many opportunists willing to swarm your social media with requests.
I don't want to pay the state police to secure my home or my property. I don't want my son, his mother, my family or closest friends getting harassed and death threats.
If you do decide to become public and share your success with the junk food media, expect death threats, harassing calls, scammers and untrustworthy people to meddle. Family members, ex-girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, ex-spouses, fraudulent charity organizations and robbers are expected to exploit your riches.
Keep a calm head and do not treat winning the lottery like its a "normal" thing.
If you purchase Powerball and Mega Millions from another state and you won, understand that it not a winner in your home state.
What does that mean?
The poorest state in the country added lottery.
Say you purchased a Mega Millions or Powerball ticket in Florida and you decided to head home to Massachusetts. You go to a local retailer and ask if you can "cash in" that $100 ticket. The operator says "I can't do that. It's not from our state."
You get upset and ask why you can't cash in a simple winning ticket from another state.
That is the usual comments whenever you try to cash in a ticket from another state is "Why can't you accept this 'winning' ticket? You guys play Mega Millions and Powerball too?"
Well the answer is simple. You have an out of state ticket that's a winner. That ticket must be returned to the state you've purchased it from.
You have to return back to the state you've purchased that ticket. Do not go into lottery retailer with a ticket from another state. Each state has a set of rules, regulations, state taxes and locality rules.
Whenever a lottery retailer handles a jackpot ticket, ask the cashier to make sure you hear the "winner" sound. Most machines will make a noise if you're a winner. There are also ticket verifying stations located near a lottery terminal. Make sure before you hand a ticket to a cashier, you are sure you won a jackpot. Ask for a claims form and/or a validation claim voucher.
For tickets that may be over a certain amount (i.e. amounts over $2,500), you might have to go to the lottery's regional offices. The offices are located in metropolitan areas.
If you can't make it to a lottery retailer, that's alright. You can get an app for that. Some state lottery agencies offer apps on your iPhone, Android and smart devices. You can get apps from the state lottery commission or the official Powerball and Mega Million apps. You can make purchases through your credit or debit card.
You can avoid the lines, by going to iTunes or the Google Play store to get a free app for your state's lottery.
Never put your trust in a cashier who doesn't have experience in handling jackpots or validations of high value tickets.
Please, don't quit a job until you are sure you've won the lottery. Don't rush to judgment about being a lottery winner. Sometimes a person who wins the lottery never expects it to happen. Don't sit around the house hoping the day will come you'll be the millionaire. Don't burn bridges with your job. You may end up back at your job if you decide to go back into the workforce.
You might as well get those little things out the way. You should pay off debts to college loans, car loans, property, utility billings, spousal support, child support, back taxes and credit cards. Don't let these issues ruin your credit score or chances at buying better things.
Yeah, it's a huge change in your life. And you're going to have major things to accomplish, do it wisely. Go ahead and have fun with your earnings. Don't blow it on things that obviously will attract negative attention.
Yeah, the lottery is a gateway to putting in other venues. Some may blow their money at casinos, horsetracks, fantasy football and online poker. Some may blow it on sex, food, drugs and alcohol.
Granted that you are given the right to do whatever you want with your earnings, but seriously are going to get a gold statue of your image?
Are willing to pay for five chefs, a butler, housekeeper, nanny, and chauffeur?
You going to buy property in Florida! Wow! You are going to pay for the land tax?
How about those nice fancy cars and that private jet? You got insurance for those fancy rides.
With uncertainty in the country due to Donald J. Trump's presidency, will your taxes could be effected by this?
Obviously, you might get a huge tax cut if you won the lottery.
Do whatever you want with your money, but be careful with it.!
You know that money will change you. You might become stingy with the winnings. Cause money comes and goes. You should be humble.
Cause money will change a person when they're rich. Don't expect your life to be "normal" when you win the lottery. Cause it's not going to be normal. It could a great experience or the worst thing to happen to you.
Also you can enter into voluntary exclusionary programs. In most states, if you sign up for exclusion from gambling, they offer you three choices. You have a one year restriction, five year restriction and lifetime restriction. Once you sign up for a restriction, you are forbidden from purchasing lottery tickets and gambling in casinos. You will not be able to win any prizes and could be criminally charged if you are a VEP member who won the lottery and/or a jackpot at a casino. And this also goes for anyone who tries to claim a jackpot or winning lottery ticket for the VEP.
So in closing, I want to say "Play Responsibility." Do not let the game control you!
The Have-Nots Will Always Try To Make You Feel Guilty About Winning. Ignore Them And Be Happy About Your Success.
American woman says the U.S. Custom and Border Protection Agency detained her for no reason because she's an Iranian American.
Tensions are rising between Iran and the United States. The U.S. strike on Qassem Soleimani has driven the narrative. The third president to be impeached while in office, Donald J. Trump is rising the stakes. He has threatened "unilateral actions" towards Iran. He also threatened to destroy Persian landmarks in Iran. Many have called his threat an potential war crime.
Iran has launched ballistic missiles at U.S. and British bases in Iraq. They vow military action in revenge of the Soleimani.
There's allegations that the U.S. Customs and Border Protections are violating civil liberties. They are being ordered to detain Iranian Americans at the border.
It was probably ordered by Trump's interim chief Chad Wolf.
More than 100 people of Iranian descent appear to have been held up at the Washington and British Columbia border over the weekend.
Iranian American Mona Zabihian was one of them. She tried to return to Washington from Canada late Saturday after attending a concert.
She said she had made trips across the border numerous times a year and never had an issue. This time she was questioned and held for hours on end.
"We went inside, we saw a bunch of other Iranians, pregnant women, children. I saw one of my friends from Seattle," she said to NBC News.
Zabihian claimed that one agent said, "You guys are all U.S. citizens, you should not have to go through this."
"He mentioned that this was not a nationwide order. It was a Washington border order."
Another woman stated her experience with CBP.
Kiara Vaziri said that her family traveled from Canada back into Washington on Satuday when she had her passport, car and keys taken.
"Some people got their phones taken away and were told to give their iPhone, Facebook, and Instagram passwords," she said.
Vaziri and her brother never went to Iran , were let off easy after answering three questions, their parents were peppered with questions about their backgrounds, high schools, military service, travels to Iran, and clan and militia affiliations.
Governor Jay Inslee condemned the decision by CBP. He said that this is an alarming.
"The reports out of the border crossing at Blaine are deeply alarming. Washingtonians who happen to be Iranian-American were detained at the Canadian-U.S. border for extended periods of time for no other reason than their ethnicity or country of origin," Inslee said in a statement.
:Let's be clear: this overreach is the direct result of President Trump's recklessness. Following his indefensible decision to abandon diplomacy and dismantle the nuclear deal, Iran has restarted its previously abandoned nuclear program, and violence threatening Americans has increased. Rather than making us more safe, his unilateral actions increase the risk to Washingtonians at home and abroad. I will continue to stand up for the rights and protections of all Washingtonians."
I have this feeling that Trump is reading the pages of Michelle Malkin and threatening interiment for Iranians and Somalians.
I believe this attack on Soleimani was a direct result of phony intelligence given by foreign actor, Israel.
Israeli intelligence wanted to take Soleimani out for years. They managed to rile up the U.S. with fake intelligence. Allegedly, the Joint Chiefs of Staff introduced Trump with the options on the table.
They gave him the option to snuff out the Iranian general. Trump chose to snuff him out.
Negah Hekmati Kirkland and her children were detained for hours for no reason. She is joined by Rep. Pramila Paypal (D-WA) in a presser.
This is a huge global mess and it's an attempt to keep Trump in power for LIFE. If we go to war, he will be able to win over support from bigots across the country.
He will force our country to spend billions if not trillions to usurp Iranian leaders and force an unprecedented occupation in the Middle East. He will likely keep war ongoing for years.
Just like George W. Bush.
And once a Democrat wins the White House, we'll go right back to the same old shit about how the Democratic president is weak and appeaser. Anything that happens because of Trump is blamed on Barack Obama or the future Democratic president. They will rewrite history to claim that Trump's impact was the best in modern history when it really isn't.
People of color are losing their "civil liberties."
Dittoheads rejoice, the country's most controversial media personality signed a four year deal with Premiere Radio Partners.
Old fart Rush Limbaugh signed a four year deal to stay on the airwaves at least until he reaches 72 years old. Despite losing his hearing and possibly his vision, Limbaugh will continue his reign as the "King of Talk Radio."
He has been taking a slimmer contract due to iHeart Media struggles. The deal probably has him signed on for less than $10 million.
Brian Stelzer of CNN reported that Trump was there to launch an "Evangelicals for Trump" coalition. After lodging his usual complaints about news outlets that challenge him, he turned to praise some of his biggest radio and TV boosters.
"We have great people," Trump said. "Rush just signed another four-year contract. He just wants four more years, okay. Rush, Sean Hannity, Laura -- a lot of great people -- Tucker's been great, 'Fox & Friends,' right?"
Trump went on, listing off other supporters in the media. But the Limbaugh shout-out was curious because the host and the syndicator had not announced a new deal yet. Premiere's most recent acknowledgement about Limbaugh's contract was back in August 2016, when he re-upped.
It turns out the president had some inside information -- perhaps from one of Limbaugh's visits to Trump's properties.
Trump and the radio host were seen eating launch and chatting with others at Trump's West Palm Beach golf club a few days before Christmas.
The two men have been allies for many years, pre-dating the president's run for office.
"Rush is a great guy & a great character," he tweeted back in 2012.
Limbaugh campaigned with Trump at the president's final midterms rally in 2018.
And just the other day, Trump tweeted out a thank-you to Limbaugh "for the tremendous support he has given to the MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN Movement and our KEEP AMERICA GREAT Agenda!"
Trump added, "He is a major star who never wavered despite the Fake News Hits he has had to endure. His voice is far bigger than theirs!
Limbaugh reaches tens of millions of people through radio stations across the country, web streams, and appearances on Fox News. He marked his 31st year in national syndication last August.
His show "continues to be the most-listened-to national radio talk show in America," according to Premiere.
Thanks to his Sandra Fluke attacks, media buyers are extremely cautious about placing ads on shows like his, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Mark Levin. Limbaugh still has 604 radio affiliates. He still has some power within the Republican Party.
However, it's waning because his audience are old, white, over 55 years old and ridiculously dumb.
The impact of advertising boycotts hurt conservative and progressive radio agitators. Companies believe talk radio hosts are too controversial for ad buys.
Major corporations won't do business with them. That leads to radio stations and affiliates closing.
That's why you hear Michael Savage, Bill Press, Laura Ingraham, Mike Malloy and Herman Cain on podcast now. They cannot prosper without ad buys so they're changing to podcasts and they'll have subscribers willing to shelves a few to keep them on.
Brick-and-mortar stores are shuttering and fuel prices are rising in the United States.
According to Republicans and Donald J. Trump, the economy is finest in the world. But in the real world, people are working either underpaid, overworked and stressed.
Folks, working two jobs to keep your home isn't satisfying. It's pretty much a life of work and no fun.
It's also amazing to see our country so wrapped in this notion that the poor and needy are the reasons to why our country is fucked up.
No, it's equity firms. They pile on debt to companies and then force companies into bankruptcy.
Okay, folks, have you went to Pier 1 Imports lately?
Pier 1 Imports plans to close 450 locations, that's nearly half of the 1,000 stores the company owns.
The Fort Worth, Texas based-home goods retailer said the decision to reduce its store footprint is needed "to better align its business with the current operating environment."
"Although decisions that impact our associates are never easy, reducing the number of our brick-and-mortar locations is necessary a business decision," Pier 1 CEO and Chief Financial Officer Robert Riesbeck in a presser.
The company will also close certain distribution centers and reduce its corporate expenses because of the "revised store footprint."
"Fiscal third quarters sales and margins remained under pressure as we completed our efforts to clear out non-go-forward merchandise," said Riesbeck, who was named CEO in November. "Look ahead, we believe that we will deliver improved financial results over time as we realize the benefits of our business transformation and cos-reduction initiatives."
The first Pier 1 Imports store under the name Import Cargo opened in San Mateo, California, in 1962. According to the company's official history, the original store catered to hippy baby boomers and featured love beads and incense.
Graham is a huge pain in the ass. He is a warhawk and jackass.
Help Jaime Harrison win the U.S. Senate race against Lindsey Graham. Donate to his campaign and help win South Carolina for the Democrats. Please donate and share.
Let's pave the road to victory. Let's get Jaime in.
This campaign is about bringing hope back to folks like this man. I'm ready to fight for him and working people across South Carolina, are you with me?💪🏿 pic.twitter.com/x5c6w8aJ02
Let's get this warhawk migraine out of Washington, DC. He is a hypocrite and buffoon. He is an embarrassment to South Carolinians.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) doing the GOP Sundays again. He is worked up over the Democrats in the House of Representatives holding the Articles of Impeachment. They won't give the Articles of Impeachment to the "Grim Ripper" Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
McConnell went to Sean "Softball" Hannity's garbage dump to say he'll work with the White House to ensure that Trump will not be removed.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) warned Republicans that the Articles of Impeachment can be held indefinitely if the Senate doesn't conduct a fair trial and hear witnesses. She told Donald J. Trump that he will be allowed to conduct the State of the Union Address in February.
Also former National Security Advisor John Bolton has confirmed that he will defy a White House gag order and testify if called by the Senate.
Graham, a former presidential candidate, once a fierce Trump critic and all-around yokel, did a 360.
He's is a fierce Trump loyalist and possible Russian agent. He is also a closeted gay Republican who held the Senate for over 20 years with little accomplishments other than beating his chest cheering for unilateral wars in the Middle East.
Graham appeared on Fox News Sunday to lace into former NFL star Colin Kaepernick and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
Graham called Kaepernick an "un-American racist."
Why?
Kaepernick sees the writing on the wall. He believes the U.S. imperialism will destroy the world.
Because Kaepernick criticized Trump's strike on Iran's top general Qassem Soleimani. Kaepernick said that "American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people is the expansion of American imperialism."
"America has always sanctioned and besieged Black and Brown bodies both at home and abroad."
He added, "American militarism is the weapon wield by American imperialism, to enforce its policing and plundering of the non-white world."
The far-white got worked up over the remarks. They called upon Nike to drop Kaepernick for speaking his mind.
Graham also took aim at Ocasio-Cortez. Known as AOC, the freshman lawmaker still in the news called the strike a potential war crime.
Graham slammed the lawmaker for being uninformed about the engagement of war.
"You do not need congressional authorization to defend troops in the field in harm's way," snapped Graham. "AOC doesn't know anything about the law of armed conflict, obviously."
What gets me is the fact that she's a very well educated Afro-Latina. She has more experience than a 60-something old white man who sits on his thumbs. She is a leader whereas Graham is a butt sniffing follower.
He sniffed John McCain's ass and not he's licking Trump's ass.
Thanks to the American strike on an Qasem Soleimani, the Islamic Republic of Iran has formally announced they will leave the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). They will no longer obligate to the terms of the P5+1 agreement. The deal was a historical achievement to peace.
Now thanks to our nitwitted president, that bullshit artist Benjamin Netanyahu and Republicans, we're on the brink of a global war. And what do Republicans do when they're beating their chests, they torment the predecessor, Barack Obama.
Enter a white nationalist lawmaker from Arizona's 4th Congressional district. A former dentists who's dead weight to the constituents. He wants to make himself a favorite of folks like Sean "Softball" Hannity and Alex Jones.
Rep. Paul Gosar's (R-AZ) family distance themselves from him. They even went on to support the Democratic nominee running against him in 2018.
Would it be interesting that Gosar's siblings move to Arizona, run as a Democrat and try to unseat him?
That would be a real family feud.
The Arizona lawmaker is similar to Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). He is a white nationalist and fierce supporter of Donald J. Trump.
Gosar decided to throw shade at Iran's president Hassan Rouhani and former U.S. president Barack Obama.
He tweeted a photoshop image of the U.S. President and Iranian president shaking hands.
He would also say in the tweet, "The world is a better place without these guys in power."
Arizona lawmaker has more time posting on social media than serving his constituents.
Ultimately, this is Republicans do. They promote bullshit and call it facts.
Obama and Rouhani never actually met in person. Rouhani still serves as president of Iran.
The fake image, which was tweeted from the Arizona representative's personal Twitter account, shows Obama smiling broadly while shaking hands with Rouhani in front of the American flag and the flag of Iran during what would appear to be a photo op. The image of Obama, however, appears to be taken from a 2011 event during which he was actually shaking hands with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in front of the Indian flag.
Only an idiot would place a live animal inside a business to inflict harm and chaos.
Inside a Walmart, a person decided to take revenge on the company. They decided to infect the store with a bothersome parasite. The animal is a blood sucking insect that lives in your mattress, couch and children's toys.
The law are investigating the discovery of pill bottles filled with bedbugs inside a Walmart in Erie, Pennsylvania.
A manager at the Walmart in Washington Township, Pennsylvania was notified by an employee.
They found a closed pill bottle containing live bedbugs on Thursday inside the men's changing room.
The bottle was found inside a boy's jacket that was for sale, the police said.
Walmart disposed of the jacket and bottle and contacted Ecolab, a hygiene and energy technology company, which sent employee to the store on Friday.
The employee found the insect crawling around the men's fitting room, the police said.
On Saturday, a Walmart employee found a second closed pill bottle with several dead bedbugs on the floor of the men's department near the belts.
The Pennsylvania State Police will now be investigating the bottles for fingerprints. They will conduct an investigation into who decided to launch a plague of pests.
Walmart takes this incident seriously.
If they find the person(s) involved in this, they will be criminally charged with trespassing, vandalism, contamination of food with intent to harm, shoplifting, destruction of property.
They will likely be billed for the clean-up, disposal or medical bills obtained from shoppers, workers and first responders. They will be banned from Walmart locations and forced to apologize publicly to the community about biohazards.
They will likely get tested for hepatitis A, hepatitis C, STIs and HIV.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Bedbugs are small parasitic insects that feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals. That includes pets, horses, birds and people. They can measure from 1 millimeter to 7 millimeters in size. They can grow to the size of a Lincoln's head on a penny. They are reddish brown and feed at night.
They do not spread disease. However, they can cause allergies, itching, scratching and loss of sleep.
These animals can survive on months without a blood meal.
Take note, anyone who posts videos of bedbug pranks could be caught and charged with a crime.
Last year, we covered individuals eating products and then placing them back onto shelves and freezers. Those who were caught faced criminal charges and permanent bans from stores.
So LeReyna, should this be classified as one of the "You Can't Fix Stupid" stories of 2020?
Black News Channel is coming to life. The news channel devoted to African American culture and entertainment launches in February.
Former Oklahoma Republican U.S. Congressman J.C. Watts, Jr. is launching a news channel for African Americans.
I hope that this news channel isn't the "Black version" of Fox News.
Watts, a former lawmaker, reverend and former Canadian Football League player as a member of the Ottawa Rough Riders. Watts dreamed of having a cable news channel that talks issues that involve the Black community.
Soon, he will get his opportunity this year.
Black News Channel is coming and he wants a launch date in February 2020.
BNC is founded by Watts and Amir Windom. They partnered together to make a network that is intended to providing quality news and original programming to African-American households.
The network will serve 30 million households once launched.
J.C. Watts is the founder of BNC. He is a former Republican lawmaker turned media mogul.
"Black History Month is an appropriate time to launch the Black News Channel," said Bob Brillante, co-founder and CEO for BNC, in a news release. "We are committed to make sure that when our viewers tune in they are witness to a quality viewing experience."
It will be a 24/7 news channel.
The goals of the network are to:
Give voice to an underserved community.
Build bridges to connect the many diverse cultures in our nation.
Facilitate a more informed national conversation about challenges facing our urban communities.
Engage African American viewers in our nation’s social, economic and political discussions and debates.
Create a platform for African American newsmakers and policymakers to reach their constituents.
Showcase African American achievers creating positive role models for black youth.
Produce educational programming that is culturally relevant to empower African American viewers.
Inspire African American viewers with uplifting and spiritual messages produced daily;
Preserve a proud African American heritage.
Recruit and train aspiring African American journalists.
BNC will be a unique multi-platform news and information channel created for African Americans, subscription television's most dynamic, high growth and loyal consumers.
BNC has a real opportunity to change lives and mindsets through the creation of a singular news organization based on a profoundly unique and critically important premise. BNC will serve up authentic, genuine, responsible and responsive news to black Americans. BNC’s news will include the priorities, issues, realities, and points-of-view of our black population and communities. BNC will be able to make a deep, rich connection to this target audience by being the antidote to today’s toxic news environment; our network will provide relevant news, as well as celebrate black lives, culture, and history.
The mission for BNC is to bring an innovative and life-changing network. It's mission is to provide intelligent programming that is informative, educational, inspiring and empowering to its African American audience.
Watts is considered a conservative. So some of the issues that may detract folks from watching is the fact that agitators like Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Jesse Lee Peterson and Alveda King might find a home on BNC.
Watts refuse to the notion. He said that his network will not be partisan (as Fox News and MSNBC).
"Conservative means many things to different people. To me, it means living the way my grandmama taught me," Watts stated. "She taught me to treat people the way that I want to be treated. In a Black home, you rarely saw people leaving their lights on at night because grandmama taught that it was a waste of electricity. If the lights were on, you knew that something pretty serious was happening."
Watts continued: "The bottom line about being a conservative is that you treat people with respect, and you don't believe in wasting things. That’s important. And, another primary place that I get my conservative values is the Bible. I was thought that I shouldn't just be concerned about Oklahoma University, my alma mater, but I should also be concerned about Morehouse. That's why I sponsored anti-poverty legislation because sometimes you have to put extra resources into different communities to give them the infrastructure to attract industry and jobs."
"My biblical principles drove me much more than the Republican party. Look, the National Football League recognized that having successful teams in every market would benefit everyone, and that’s why the team with the worst record gets the top pick in the draft. They know that if the Cincinnati Bengals perform better, everybody wins because you would have more advertising and a better television contract for everyone. So, I feel the same way about underserved communities. If we can help them to be stronger and create more opportunities within those communities, then that's good for all communities."
Here's what the far-white trolls say about the network.
This is why it's very important to stay in school.
Nonetheless, the network will official launch on February 16th. We will be watching for developments and wish the network well.
It's getting too real. The Real is considering firing Loni Love out the cannon.
More drama in daytime.
The View still leads in ratings. However, the drama brewing between the ladies and Meghan McCain has reached a boiling point. There is signs that McCain could be fired out the cannon in due time.
Anyway, Telepictures and Fox Television have had it with the drama on The Real.
There's talk brewing that comedian/actress Loni Love is about to be loaded in the cannon.
Guest host Amanda Seales is likely going to replace her if its confirmed that Love is being forced off the show.
Amanda Seales is considered a replacement for Loni Love.
Allegedly, Love was one of the reasons to why entertainer Tamar Braxton was ousted from The Real seasons ago.
Rumors going around that Loni's behavior on and off set have placed her job in jeopardy.
They are waiting until Love's contract is up in June and decide to not renew it.
The other hosts Tamera Housley (nee Mowry), Adrienne Baillion and Jeannie Mai knew the possibility of Love being replaced. They are staying mum on details.
