MSNBC agitator Nicolle Wallace gets two hours for Deadline: White House.
The host of Deadline: White House has seen her ratings increase and now she's leading the afternoons with her favorite reporters and friends.
MSNBC announced a huge shakeup to their afternoon programming. The network is preparing for the arrival of former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith.
Nicolle Wallace will now host Deadline: White House for two hours. It will no longer be intertwined between 3pm - 5pm. It's now returning to its 4pm spot and it will extend into 5pm. The move will allocate MTP: Daily to 1pm.
The move will start in mid-August.
Chuck Todd will now host the 1pm spot after Andrea Mitchell. Todd will continue to host Meet The Press on NBC every Sunday morning. He will also have weekly political program that will be streamed on NBC News Now and Peacock, the new NBCUniversal streaming network.
Katy Tur will continue hosting her 2pm spot with MSNBC Live and an unnamed future show.
Ayman Mohyeldin will host MSNBC Live at 3pm.
Wallace who hosted Deadline: White House since 2017 has seen her show's ratings improve during the Trump presidency and Mueller investigation. Her criticisms of Trump has made her very popular among progressives and conservatives who are critical of Trump.
She served as an advisor to then president George W. Bush and helped him through successful reelection.
Wallace was then a Special Assistant to the President and Director of Media Affairs at the White House where she oversaw regional press strategy and outreach. She was the communications director for the Bush reelection.
Wallace served as the White House Communications Director in 2005 and left after serving a year with the Bush Administration.
She served as a senior advisor to the John McCain presidential campaign. She was the top defender and spokesperson for the McCain campaign. Wallace would end up having a fallout with McCain over the selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Palin proved to be a disaster for McCain.
Wallace was a Republican for most of her time but left the party shortly after Trump got into office.
She as well former McCain chief strategist Steve Schmidt have found the Republican Party straying from its core base to Trumpism.
Wallace who was the former co-host of The View joined MSNBC in 2015 as a political analyst. She was a frequent contributor and guest host on MSNBC programs in the past.
A shooting at a Burger King over a bad order. A man and his girlfriend could face DEATH for the charges.
This is why it's important for gun reform to be passed by Congress. Too many idiots own firearms and use these weapons for the dumbest shit.
In Florida, a Burger King employee was shot and killed by a terrorist after dispute over wait time for food. The terrorist's girl got mad at the wait time and got into a heated argument with the worker.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office identified the terrorist as a 37-year old man.
The victim was 22-year old Desmond A. Joshua, Jr. who had only recently begun working at the Burger King restaurant in Orlando.
The incident happened on Saturday around 7:30 pm. Desmond had got into a confrontation with a woman who was angry over the length of time it took for a drive-thru food order to be completed.
It's unclear how long the woman had been waiting on her order and no other details about her confrontation with the victim were released.
The woman came back later with the terrorist.
The terrorist demanded to fight with victim before putting him in a chokehold. A witness pulled the terrorist off of Desmond. The terrorist would get into his vehicle and pull out his glock. He would end up shooting the victim in the chest and left him for dead.
This asshole faces murder charges.
The terrorist and the woman fled the scene while Desmond was bleeding on the ground.
He was rushed to the hospital where he died.
Now the terrorist will be charged with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, destruction of evidence and being a felon with a firearm (weapons under disability). The woman could be charged with murder as well. Despite her not pulling the trigger, her actions leading to the murder is complicity.
The two could face LIFE in the iron college. The terrorist could face the DEATH card in Florida if the prosecutors believe that his actions deserve the ultimate punishment.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The "good guy" with a firearm is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. Matter of fact, the NICE GUYS are often the ones who are spurned by society. Bad relationships, losing your job, jealousy over promotions, family feuds and racism are typical NICE GUY issues.
NICE GUYS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH A FIREARM. THE NICE GUY GETS SPURNED BY SOCIETY. THEY TAKE REVENGE ON SOCIETY. RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. THEY WILL NOT (I REPEAT) STOP A "MAD" INDIVIDUAL FROM OBTAINING A FIREARM.
I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."
The junk food media finds only the mugshot of victim.
Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
We have mass shootings in the United States everyday. We are the only country in the world that continues to do nothing about this. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP. I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD! GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
Do not use the services of Jeffery Shaun King.
He is a shyster and does not represent Black Lives Matter.
If the deal is approved, 7-Eleven will expand its empire. Marathon is selling off the Speedway, an Enon, Ohio based convenience store and fueling center.
Seven & i Holdings Co., the world's largest convenience store franchiser, agreed to buy Speedway from the Marathon Petroleum Corp. for $21 billion in cash.
The company operates in Enon, a tiny village about 20 miles from Dayton, Ohio.
The two firms announced the cash deal in a statement late Sunday. It's one of the biggest acquisition in the world to be announced since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Seven & i Holdings is based out of Tokyo, Japan and operates 7-Eleven and supermarket chain Ito-Yokado, department stores Sogo and Seibu and other entities.
7-Eleven is an iconic brand of convenience stores.
"This acquisition is the largest in our company's history and will allow us to grow and diversify our presence in the U.S., particularly in the Midwest and East Coast, said Joe DePinto, the President and CEO of 7-Eleven, U.S. operations. "By added these quality locations to our portfolio, 7-Eleven will have the opportunity to bring convenience to more customers than ever before."
Speedway operates in 32 states from its core seven-state region in the Midwest since 2012.
There are 4,000 locations in the United States.
Once approved, Speedway will belong to 7-Eleven and it will operate in the U.S. and Canada.
7-Eleven once had locations in Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus. They pulled out of the Dayton and Cincinnati market in the 1980s.
7-Eleven pulled out of Columbus in 2014.
Speedway operates in these cities.
7-Eleven has over 9,800 stores in the United States. With this transition, there will be around 14,000 locations in the United States and Canada.
Speedway's acquirement also comes as the Dunkin' Donuts (known as Dunkin') will end their business partnership. Dunkin' will be closing restaurants in the United States. A handful of the Dunkin' chains will be inside Speedway stores. About 800 stores are on the list of closure in the United States.
One year ago, a white terrorist opened fire on innocent shoppers in El Paso.
The city of El Paso is planning a virtual tribute to the 23 victims of the 2019 mass shooting. A white terrorist drove from North Texas to massacre innocent shoppers at a Walmart in order to trigger a race war.
The mass shooting was one of three mass shootings that happened in a period of seven days. One was in California at a festival and another in Dayton, Ohio which I will discuss the next day.
August 3, 2019 will be the one of the memorable moments in U.S. history. It was the most deadliest attack on Latinos in modern history.
Two back-to-back mass shootings.
The need for gun reform was ignored by Donald J. Trump, Republicans and the National Rifle Association. They found the need to stop these mass shootings as a distraction.
This attack on people of color was sparked by a white extremist's virtuent hatred of immigrants and Hispanics living in the United States. Sparked by the rhetoric of conservative agitators and white extremist propaganda, this terrorist wrote a manifesto calling for the extinction of those who destroyed the norms of America.
Trump's appearance in El Paso wasn't welcomed.
The lives lost in this attack were American, Mexican and German.
Jordan Anchondo, Andre Pablo Anchondo, Maribel Campos, Arturo Benavidez, Javier Amir Rodriguez, David Alvah Johnson, Sara Ester Regalado Moriel, Angelina Silva Englisbee, Adolfo Cerros Hernandez, Juan de Dios Velaquez Chairez, Gloria Irma Marquez, Maria Flores, Maria Eugencia Legarreta Roth, Raul Flores, Jorge Calvillo Garcia, Alexander Gerhard Hoffman, Elsa Mendoza de la Mora, Luis Alfonzo Juarez, Ivan Filiberto Manzano, Margie Reckard, Leonardo Campos, Jr., Teresa Sanchez and Guillermo "Memo" Garcia.
Their lives were taken by this terrorist.
The August 3rd shooting happened at the Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall in East El Paso.
The terrorist carried a WASR-10, a smaller version of the AK-47 and opened fire on shoppers shortly after 10:30 am (CST).
The store manager witness the terrorist open fire in the parking lot prior to entering the store. Walmart ordered a "Code Brown," designating that an active shooter is on the property. Store workers and shoppers would immediately scatter from their lanes to evacuate and hide.
Many shoppers abandoned their properties to run towards the fire exits and dressing rooms or shield themselves from the gunfire. Some hid under tables and took cover in the backrooms.
We mourn those loss and continue to demand change.
The law responded to the calls of a shooting within six minutes. The El Paso Police, Texas Rangers and paramedics responded to scene as well as the FBI.
The shooter would immediately flee from the store and drive at least three miles before the law stopped him and detained him without any gunfire.
The casualties were massive. There were 23 deaths and 23 injuries.
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Greg Abbott, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and the 37 U.S. Representatives were notified about the tragedy that day. Each of them offered their usual "thoughts and prayers" and "my heart goes out to" nonsense.
Trump ordered the flags to be lowered half-staff to show solidarity.
Meaningless platitudes.
Demands for Walmart to stop selling firearms were heard but ignored. Trump and Congress were pressured to do something on gun violence. To this day, the House of Representatives has pass bills in regards to gun reform. The U.S. Senate refused to pass legislation and we continue to have more mass shootings since.
The terrorist immediately faced state and federal charges for the attack. He noted that in his manifesto, he cited the white nationalist theory of the Great Replacement. The terrorist believed that whites are being snuffed out by racial integration, immigrants, cancel culture, political correctness and an aggressive media towards Trump.
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.
The unrepentant terrorist appears in a state trial.
The El Paso massacre was one of the latest in a string of many other mass shootings where no one is safe. It happens in schools, places of worship, movie theaters, shopping malls, banks, convenience stores, workplaces, government facilities, festivals, clubs and the home.
THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING. THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC . INSTEAD OF WORKING TOGETHER ON SOLVING THIS MAN-MADE CRISIS, WE RETURN TO SAME SHIT. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF COVERAGE, WE MOVE ON TO ANOTHER CONTROVERSY. THEN LATER ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING AND IT WOULD BE WORSE THAN THE LAST ONE. The race of the suspect doesn't matter. The nationality doesn't matter. The religion doesn't matter. The motive doesn't matter. The terrorist managed to find a way to outmaneuver the law. He managed to inflict harm over a period of five minutes before the law put an end to the carnage.
White extremist slaps a woman. A bunch of guys gave this asshole a toe-jam jelly.
This white extremist in Sarasota County, Florida got served.
Donald J. Trump's supporters are racist.
The Raw Story reported that a self-proclaimed white supremacist who said he supports Trump was reportedly arrested after he was seen on camera serving a woman a knuckle style chili.
In the video shared on social media and the man was identified. He was causing a scene and was demanding employees "call Donald Trump" after he is asked to not expose himself to children.
The guy had a Nazi swastika on the left of his chest. He was complaining about his rights being infringed on.
"I'm a white supremacist!" the asshole shouts. "The Aryan nation will rule the world!"
Jackass is unrependented.
"If you don't know Donald Trump, I'm not going anywhere," he says.
When a woman tells him to calm down, he gave her the loudest slap across the head. That knuckle style chili put her on the concrete. By that time several men quickly gave this asshole a toe jam jelly.
One man put the asshole in a chokehold. He decided to tapout.
The Sarasota County Police gave him a night in the county on the grounds of battery. He will be charged for trespassing, disorderly conduct and aggravated assault. In Florida, he could get up to ten years in the iron college.
Trump and Pence will be the nominees of the Republican presidential ticket. The junk food media won't see their nomination speeches.
The Republican nomination will no longer be held in Jacksonville due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The original location of Charlotte will be effectively scaled back to a point where Republicans will no longer gather to see the nomination of the incumbent President Donald J. Trump.
The Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel conceded that the convention will not go as planned. The nomination of Donald J. Trump and Michael R. Pence will be held in August. The two will be on the ballot in November.
It was reported that the junk food media will not be allowed on site as RNC delegates vote to formally nominate Trump as their 2020 presidential nominee. The vote will be livestreamed and possibly viewed through virtually.
It gives me the feeling that Trump is trying to recruit foreign operatives to meddle with the election.
Trump realized that his big party is out of the question.
He used foreign operatives to help him win the first time. He will do it again.
The RNC's communication director said that "no final decision has been made" regarding the press.
"No final decision has been made and we are still working through logistics and press coverage options," said RNC communication director Michael Ahrens who talked to CNN on Sunday.
"We are working with the parameters set before us by state and local guidelines regarding the number of people who can attend events."
COVID-19 has pretty much been the main issue dogging Trump. His handling of the pandemic has put everything at risk of collapse. Hollywood, Broadway, the housing industry, the consumer market, the hospitality industry, the airline industry, the restaurant industry, retail, oil and gas industry at risk of failure.
We have lost over 200,000 Americans to the coronavirus. We have over 5 million people in the country affected by the disease.
The convention will continue in Charlotte scaled back.
We have became more polarized by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, Ahmaud Arbery and white people calling the law on Black people minding their business. We have seen more protests in the streets and Trump's decision to deploy federal troops to city streets despite warnings about authoritarianism.
The formal proceedings of the 2020 Republican National Convention -- including voting to formally nominate Trump as the 2020 GOP nominee -- are still expected to take place in Charlotte, but the number of people attending has been dramatically scaled back.
An RNC official says the President is not likely to accept the nomination in Charlotte in a big public speech. If Trump goes to Charlotte, the expectation is that it will just be to thank the delegates in a private, closed press event.
The proceedings on the Monday of the convention -- including the vote to formally nominate Trump -- will be live-streamed, according to a Republican official familiar with the plans.
Due to space restrictions, not all delegates will attend either. Instead, 336 delegates will vote at the convention proceedings -- one for every six delegates.
Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller, the president of the White House Correspondents' Association, called the move to close convention activities to the press an "an ill-advised decision" and called on the GOP to "reconsider" on Twitter Saturday evening. "The nomination of a major party presidential candidate is very much the business of the American people."
His rival Joe Biden will make his selection for vice president in the coming days. He said he will pick a woman as his running mate and the junk food media is speculating.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) could face defeat in her primary.
Could see a big upset in the Michigan 13th Congressional District!
One of the first Muslim women to serve in Congress could be defeated.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is the most vulnerable of the Squad. The Palestinian-American lawmaker from Detroit, Michigan is facing off against Brenda Jones, the Detroit city council member who served only 24 days as a U.S. Representative. This primary only involves two women.
Tlaib, a backer of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for president has pissed off the Democrats to a point where they're no longer involved in helping her fend off the challenger.
I had backed Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at first.
They were progressives who had a strong voice in the Democratic Party and helped encourage people of color to run for higher office. I was proud to see two women of color who are Muslim elected to office.
Now, I am sick and tired of them. With the exception of Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), the Squad are no longer valued among the Democratic establishment and mainstream progressive base.
Former Democratic representative Brenda Jones wants to run for a full term.
Tlaib, Omar and Ocasio-Cortez have been more of the Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) types.
All talk and no action.
Just flat out bullshit.
Lack of accomplishments. Always on television.
Always causing chaos where there's no need for it.
And like the Republican lawmakers mentioned, these Democratic lawmakers are insufferable.
I've talked about it this year. I said that the Bernie Bros and Broettes cost Sanders his second chance at being the Democratic nominee. Tlaib brought on a challenger when she openly supported protesters booing the 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The Democrats found that distasteful.
Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Tlaib took the side of that swindler Alexandra Tara Reade Moulton McCabe over Biden's staff and the journalists who spent time trying to get to the bottom of the allegations of sexual abuse hurled at the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Tlaib has already made it clear that she's going to possibly lose to Jones. She had refused to endorse Joe Biden for president and has said her only focus is to win the primary which will be held on Tuesday.
When Tlaib won the seat, she was one of five members trying to replace John Conyers, the disgraced lawmaker and civil rights activist who was forced out after allegations of sexual abuse. Tlaib and Jones were on the special ballot to replace him and then they held a primary to see who would be the nominee and then a general election for the person to fulfill the term.
Jones won the special election by a mere .5 points.
But Tlaib won the the primary by 1 point. She would win the seat easily.
Jones fill the seat for 24 days to at least vote on three measures. After she served her term, Tlaib then took the seat.
Since taking the seat, Tlaib has focused on Detroit but has strayed from issues in the city. She was concerned about the rights of Palestinians and the controversial U.S.-Israeli relationship. I supported her on that issue. She focused on immigrant rights and the Muslim ban. I supported her on that.
No longer a friendly contest. The two are fighting to represent the 13th Congressional District in Michigan.
But for her constituents, no one cared about these issues. They only cared about her delivering to Detroit, a city that has face economic turmoil.
Tlaib represents a district that has over 80% African American constituents.
Democrats who are supportive of Biden are hoping to defeat Tlaib and Omar. The two women are facing tougher primary challengers. Ocasio-Cortez managed to fend off a tough challenger in the New York primaries.
The Michigan Democratic Party's Black Caucus has endorsed Jones over Tlaib which came as a blow to the lawmaker who was desperately courting their backing.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who the Squad criticized earlier has backed Tlaib for the primary. The House Speaker had talked to the Squad about being too polarizing and warned them that constituents are not looking for showboats. However, the advice is not taken.
AOC has already landed herself in a controversy. It wasn't of her making, though. Outgoing Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) had called her a "fucking [dirty] bitch" when he got upset over remarks made by her.
Omar who is facing a challenge from a well-funded Antone Melton-Meaux. Her primary will be held on August 11th.
Wilford Brimley, the famed actor and diabetes awareness activist passed away.
Wilford Brimley passed away at the age of 85 from complications of diabetes. Due to an illness from a kidney infection and his diabetes it led to him dying from it after two months of battle.
Perhaps best known for his advocacy for diabetes research, the actor and singer is iconic for the movies The China Syndrome, John Carpenter's The Thing and The Natural.
Now I am a huge fan of The Thing. Trust me, to this day, that 1982 movie still has conspiracy theories to how Blair (played by Wilford Brimley) got infected by the monster. He ended up being the one of the final Things. We still are debating whether Childs (played by Keith David) was infected by Blair. I believe he was but many think he and McCready (played by Kurt Russell) were human at the closing.
The Blair Thing was one of the coolest creatures in the movie. Graphic and gory. Shame that Universal Pictures had to cut the budget. It would have given us a good battle between McCready and the Thing and explain to why Nauls (played by T.K. Carter) got infected at the last minute. The last person infected before Blair emerged was Garry (played by Donald Moffat).
A memorable scene from The Thing where station commander Garry is caught off guard by Blair who became The Thing.
Born Anthony Wilford Brimley, he was an American actor, singer and advocate. He served in the Marines after dropping out of high school. He left the Marines to take on various odd jobs. He would ended up being casted an extra for Western films, and in little more than a decade he established himself as a character actor for numerous films.
He has been the long-time face for television advertisements for Quaker Oats. He also had promoted diabetes education and appeared in related commercials for Liberty Mutual.
He was born in 1934 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The son of a real estate broker and homemaker, Brimley was a bodyguard for the businessman Howard Hughes during his odd jobs. He was a ranch hand, wrangler and blacksmith. He knows how to shoe horses and learned the trade of acting from his friend Robert Duvall.
He would be a breakout character in the drama The Waltons as Horace Brimley. He would soon take on roles on television and in movies.
He is known for roles in movies like Cocoon, The Road Home and even the Jennifer Anniston comedy-drama Did You Hear About the Morgans?
The Blair Thing. Brimley played the final monster in the movie. The Blair Thing took the lives of Garry and Nauls to become a hideous creature.
Brimley was "a fine singer with a warm, rich voice." He sang with the Cal State Northridge Jazz Band for a concert benefiting the college's Jazz Endowment Scholarship Fund. He had released a jazz standards album called This Time, The Dream's On Me.
He was also a very gifted harmonica player. He performed the harmonica on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
Wilford Brimley was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints. He was married to Lynne Bagley and had four sons. Lynne passed away in 2000. He remarried. He was married to Beverly Berry and had homes in St. Georges, Utah and Greybull, Wyoming.
He supported John McCain, Mitt Romney and Donald J. Trump during their presidential runs.
Ohio woman who got reconstructive surgery on her face after being shot passed away.
The American woman who survived reconstructive surgery after being shot in the face passed away at the age of 57.
BE WARNED THIS WILL BE GRAPHIC!
Connie Culp was the first American woman who had a near-total face transplant in 2008. She was a victim of domestic violence. Her abusive husband (who I won't name) tried to execute a murder-suicide. He managed to shot Connie directly in the face.
Her face was completely blown off and she was rushed to the hospital. She and the monster both survived their injuries. The incident happened in the village of Hopedale, Ohio.
The monster survived the shooting.
He was convicted in state court and given a seven year bid in the iron college. Connie forgave the monster at the sentencing and said that she would be waiting when he gets out of the iron college.
This was Connie before the incident.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Connie changed her mind. She said that her daughter fought with her over that. She felt that that monster didn't deserve mercy or forgiveness.
Connie said, "Mom, what kind of example would you be setting for me if you went back to the man who shot your face off?"
The shotgun blast destroyed Connie's nose, cheeks, the roof of her mouth and an eye. She underwent 30 operations before her facial transplant.
Polish surgeon Maria Siemionow and a team of doctors went through a 22 hour operation that replaced 80% of Connie's face. They used the skin of a woman who recently passed away to reconstruct Connie's face.
AGAIN BE WARNED IT WILL BE GRAPHIC.
The facial surgery took some time and it did reject portions. The nose was completely rebuilt and some of the disfigurement repaired happened during surgery.
Connie's donor was Anna Kasper. She passed away in the Cleveland-suburb of Lakewood, Ohio.
Anna was an organ and tissue donor and a match. Connie was grateful to her and met her husband, Ron. Connie told The Cleveland Plain Dealer that the family agreed to donate Anna's face for Connie's surgery, telling the newspaper that "the overriding factor was we knew it was what Anna would've wanted."
Connie's face was swollen after the surgery. However she was able to breathe on her own an eat solid food following the transplant. The Associated Press had said that "Ms. Culp's expressions are still a bit wooden, and she remains almost blind (right eye is prosthetic, left eye is damaged), but she can talk, smile, smell and taste food again, and has learned braille. Her speech is at times difficult to understand. Her face is bloated and squarish, and her skin droops in folds that doctors plan to pare away as her circulation improves and her nerves grow, animating new muscles."
Connie worked as an advocate fostering an understanding for survivors of burns or other disfigurements.
Connie had her final surgery in 2010 which would regain much of her facial functions, including the ability to smile, speak, and feel facial sensations due to the regrowth of facial nerves.
Connie passed away from an infection unrelated to her facial transplant.
Connie leaves behind two children.
Connie managed to survive domestic violence.

Barack Obama's black sheep half-brother trying to cash in.
According to Barack Obama's half-brother Malik, the former president is a "cold and ruthless" guy.
This is coming from a guy who tried to dredge up the Muslim and not an American rumors.
Obama has allegedly 19 half-brothers and sisters from his father's side. He has a half-sister named Maya Soetoro-Ng from his mother's side.
Malik Obama is a notorious grifter and hustler from Kenya. Sean "Softball" Hannity interviewed Malik and Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo in his latest attempts to paint the 44th President of the United States as a "foreign operative."
As you know, Donald J. Trump and Softball Hannity were embracing the "birther" movement and have demanded Obama show his birth certificate. The Obamas face harsh criticism from the likes of Trump, Fox News and far-right operatives. Even his distant half-brother Malik Obama has a part in this scam.
Malik, 62 lives in Kenya and has barely spoken to his American half-brother in years. Malik is a religious nutjob who suffered bipolar disorder.
Born Abon'go Malik "Roy" Obama, he is the son of Barack Obama, Sr. and Kezia Obama. He runs a small electronic store in the city of Nyang'oma Kogelo.
He endorsed Trump for president and reelection.
He attended the third U.S. presidential debate on behalf of the Trump presidential campaign.

In order to drive up attention against Obama (and in turn Joe Biden), The Daily Mail decided to run this garbage about the Kenyan trying to earn a few bucks.
This guy has the audacity to call his brother Barack, a "snob."
Really?
This is the guy who endorsed a man who grabbed women by the pussy!
Talking to Rupert Murdoch's The New York Post via Skype, Malik Obama says that he has a book that he hopes people will read. He wants to tell the "truth" about his brother Barack.
Let's get this straight....... A few weeks ago, Mary Trump, the niece of Donald J. Trump wrote a book calling out her uncle for being a dangerous man running the country and all of sudden, this Kenyan national decides to release a book about his American brother who he barely sees anyway.
Let's cash this in.
"[Of course, I'm] 110% still with Trump," Obama said. "He's not fake. He tell us the way he sees it. He's bold and fearless and he's tough."
He called Biden, a feeble minded man.
"I don't think he's going to make it. His teeth are falling off. He looks like he's going to drop dead."

Malik claimed he spent 22 years to write this book which is 435 pages long and debuted quietly on Amazon on July 11. That was coming around the time that Too Much and Never Enough came out.
Malik hasn't spoken to Barack in over 30 years. Obama traveled to Kenya to see his father's family and met his brother and attended the wedding.
Trump was pleased with Malik's antics. The family has disowned Malik and of course, Barack and Michelle Obama don't give that noise attention.
Speak of the noise.
Good news.
Michelle Obama has launched her official Spotify podcasts. You can listen to the former First Lady of the United States talk to people in the news. She will offer a unique take on the day to day challenges of being a mother of two grown daughters, her passion for education and the need to get out and vote this election.
Listen here.
Don't pay Malik Obama any mind. He's just looking for a buck. He's nothing more than a grifter.
By the way, if anyone says that I'm a hypocrite for trashing Malik while not trashing Mary Trump, you can go ahead and go fuck yourselves.
The Sean Hannity Word Vomit is coming this month. We will discuss the 2020 election and the annoying agitator's impact on trying to help Trump win reelection. Not to mention the numerous scandals and controversies he's caused throughout the years.
Donald J. Trump wants to stop TikTok through executive order. It would be hard to so when it's going to be a court challenge on the grounds of the First Amendment.
Trump on Friday told the junk food media that he plans on banning the Chinese-owned video streaming social media app TikTok from the United States.
Trump made the comments with reporters while on Air Force One during the flight back to Washington, DC from his resort in Florida.
"As far as TikTok is concerned we're banning them from the United States," Trump said. He said the action is a "severance."
Trump did not specify whether he will act through an executive order, or another method.
"Well, I have that authority. I can do it with an executive order or that," Trump said.
A TikTok spokesperson told NBC News that the app helped to create jobs in the U.S. and it was committed to user privacy.
"We've hired nearly 1,000 people to our U.S. team this year alone, and are proud to be hiring another 10,000 employees into great paying job across the U.S.," said the spokesperson with TikTok. "Our $1 billion creator fund supports U.S. creators who are building livelihoods from our platform.
"TikTok U.S. user data is stored in the U.S., with strict controls on employee access," the statement says. "TIkTok's biggest investors come from the U.S. We are committed to protecting our users' privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform."
Microsoft has expressed interest in buying TikTok from Chinese tech firm ByteDance.
Trump is trying to go after China because of his failure to control the COVID-19 pandemic. He has already walked away from the trade deal he bragged about. He also wants to pull the U.S. out of the World Health Organization because he felt the organization sided with China over his failure to control the pandemic. He also wants to add tariffs on Chinese imports which could bring prices up on goods here in the United States.
ByteDance launched TikTok in 2017 and its became one of the most popular social media apps in the world. The app has 2 billion downloads. It's best known for the rise of Trump-critic and satirist Sarah Cooper.
TikTok played a role in the infamous Trump rally. Trump didn't bring in the big crowds. Trump's ally Herman Cain contracted the coronavirus and died a few days after attending it.
Cooper's videos traffic over 5 million views because she literally mocks Trump by taking his most ridiculous remarks and mimics them. She and millions of TikTok users slammed Trump for trying to stifle freedom of speech.
Trump will face opposition from the company and they plan to file a lawsuit if the executive order goes into effect.
U.S. officials have long complained that Chinese intellectual property theft has cost the economy billions of dollars in revenue and thousands of jobs and threatens national security. Beijing maintains it does not engage in intellectual property theft.
The move by the Trump administration represents another step in the deteriorating relations between Washington and Beijing and comes a week after the U.S. closed the Chinese consulate in Houston, prompting China to shutter the U.S. consulate in Chengdu.
The Pentagon has taken concrete steps to discourage U.S. service members and their families from using Chinese-backed tech.
Some of the most funniest themes came off TikTok.
In December, the Defense Information Systems Agency advised that all Department of Defense personnel should not use the Chinese-owned social media platform, citing a "potential risk associated with using the TikTok app."
Facebook is planning on launching a counter to TikTok. They are launching Reels. With the help of Instagram, Reels is supposed to give users an opportunity to make short cut videos.
TikTok ain't going without a fight. So don't be surprised they'll encourage Americans to register to vote in 2020.
Because this election is really important. We could get four more years of Trump and trust me, we're moving closer towards it everyday. We need to make sure Trump and Republicans are defeated at the ballot box.
The Ellen Show is in turmoil. Ellen DeGeneres is considering leaving the show.
Entertainer Ellen DeGeneres may end up walking away from the No. 1 talk show in the country.
The Ellen Show (The Ellen DeGeneres Show) is the leading daytime talk show in the country. The host signed on for two more seasons. Right now she and many other talk show hosts are doing their programs from their homes or remote studios with limited staff due to COVID-19.
Buzzfeed broke the story of a toxic workplace at the show. It shook the media and it also put DeGeneres on the defensive. Now her distributor Telepictures (Warner Bros. Television) and WarnerMedia have called for an investigation into the show, the executive producers and the host herself.
The Queen of Talk often said "Be Kind to One Another" in her closing messages. It appears that it didn't seem quite like that when the cameras are off.
Sources are telling The Daily Mail that Ellen had enough and is ready to walk away from the show.
"She feels she can't go on and the only way to recover her personal brand from this is to show down the show," an insider told the tabloid on Friday. "The truth is she knew what was going on -- it's her show. The buck stops with her. She can blame every executive under the sun -- but Ellen is ultimately the one to blame."
Reps for Ellen and the show have not responded to any inquires from the junk food media.
Buzzfeed released some damaging claims about the show. Current and former staffers have said that executive producers and sometimes Ellen herself were acting foolish. The claims are sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, assault and wrongful termination.
Ellen had recently came to apologize to the staff promising to do better. But some have dismissed this. They believed Ellen turned a blind eye. Even entertainers Brad Garrett and Lea Thompson have criticized the move as a "stunt."
Sorry but it comes from the top @TheEllenShow Know more than one who were treated horribly by her. Common knowledge. DeGeneres Sends Emotional Apology to Staff - Variety https://t.co/D0uxOgyyre
Allegations first came to the surface in April, as unnamed members of the production team claimed they were left uninformed as to the status of their pay or employment amid the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.
Additionally, accounts of "cold" behavior from the 62-year-old comedian herself, including from her former bodyguard, began to pile up.
The show took another hit this week when Buzzfeed published a report based on interviews with 36 members of staff. Several voiced allegations of sexual misconduct from top producers Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman and Jonathan Norman.

According to the report, a former employee of the daytime show accused Leman of soliciting oral sex at a company party in 2013, while another ex-staffer claimed to have seen the exec grab a production assistant's penis on a different occasion.
Nearly a dozen employees also stated that it was not unusual for Leman to make crude and sexual jokes in the office disguised as "sarcasm."
Additionally, dozens of employees understood that Glavin "had a reputation for being handsy with women," particularly in the control room, where he would use intimidation to control employees.
Three staffers then corroborated a claim that Norman groomed a former staffer and attempted to perform oral sex on him. Leman and Norman vehemently denied the allegations.
Prior to the sexual allegations coming to light, the show's executive producers Glavin, Andy Lassner, and Mary Connelly issued a statement shifting blame from DeGeneres to themselves.
"We are truly heartbroken and sorry to learn that even one person in our production family has had a negative experience," they said. "It’s not who we are and not who we strive to be, and not the mission Ellen has set for us."
The statement explained that the "day to day responsibility of the... show is completely on" the producers.
Earlier this week, Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, weighed in on the controversy, concluding that DeGeneres faces "a dangerous period in her career." Any findings that reveal a toxic workplace "would be an apocalyptic ending to her TV career," he added.
A rep for DeGeneres and the show did not immediately respond to Fox News' requests for comment.
