Marc Lamont Hill Defends Palestine And CNN Fired Him Out The Cannon!

Progressive agitator Marc Lamont Hill fired out the cannon with CNN after making remarks about Israel and Palestine.
Hey, Laura Loomer....how's the weather? The crazy alt-white agitator decided to handcuff herself to Twitter's New York headqaurters. Her livestream ended as of now. She was arrested for trespassing.

Loomer is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Maybe this Black progressive agitator should handcuff himself to CNN's New York studios. Yeah, good luck on that one. He might get a good beat down by the NYPD. They at least offered Loomer a water and asked if she was doing okay. Clearly, she's mentally ill but who's judging?

Black agitator fired from CNN after he spoke against Israel and it wasn't even anti-Semitic.

Professor Marc Lamont Hill loses his deal with CNN after he made remarks about Israel. He didn't even call for the destruction of the country. All he said is that he wants a "Free Palestine."

Here's the video from a YouTube page that is against the UN. The full 20 minutes.



Hill is pro-Palestine and spoke on behalf of the United Nations. He alluded to the "one state solution" by saying "from the river to the sea" which some pro-Israeli advocates said was anti-Semitic.

Hill said basically he was calling for equal rights for Palestinians.

See in the United States, these morons believe if you're a critic of the Israeli government being ran by war criminals, you're anti-Semitic.

If you're protesting the Israeli military causing the genocide of innocent civilians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, you're anti-Semitic.

If you're protesting the building of settlements on land given to the West Bank despite calls by the UN and world leaders, you're anti-Semitic.

If you're protesting injustice by Israelis and Americans, then you're committing treason.

CNN fired Hill out the cannon today after he urged countries boycott Israel for the way they've treated Palestinians.

"Contrary to western mythology, black resistance to American apartheid did not come purely though Ghandi and nonviolence. Rather slave revolts and self-defense and tactics otherwise divergent from Dr. [Martin Luther King, Jr] or Mahatma Gandhi were equally important to preserving safety and attaining freedom. If we are to operate in true solidarity with the Palestinian people, we must allow the Palestinian people the same range of opportunity and political possibility. If we are standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people, we must recognize the right of an occupied people to defend itself. We must prioritize peace, but we must not romanticize or fetishize it. We must advocate and promote nonviolence at every opportunity, but we cannot endorse a narrow politics of respectability that shames Palestinians fro resisting, for refusing to do nothing in the face of state violence and ethnic cleansing."

Hill also responded on social media about CNN and the decision to fire him out the cannon.

Timeline


Hey, there's that dork Rick Santorum. He's an avowed bigot.

Anyway, Marc Lamont Hill gets the boot for talking about possible war crimes committed by the right wing Israeli government. The government advocates genocide towards Palestinians and the United States gives Israel their blessing.

Laura Loomer Begging For A Paycheck!

Alt-white agitator Laura Loomer wants attention. 
Laura Loomer is crying and screaming that she is being silenced by Twitter. She is livestreaming her protest against Twitter and Facebook.

Note: Some of the video feed isn't live.


This week, Twitter banned Loomer after she posted an offensive comment about Rep-elect Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and making the ridiculous assertion that Omar is a jihadist and supporter of Shi'ra law.

Now she has decided to go to the New York headquarters of Twitter to protest.

She handcuffed herself to a door and started her rant about 4pm.

She's certainly went viral by this protest.



Loomer has created tension within New York City. She already has people getting into heated arguments and fights.

The New York Police Department hasn't done much to stop her. They will likely arrest her without violence but it does give people of color a reason to understand that white privilege exist.

See if Loomer was Black, she would have been arrested and brutally assaulted by police.

The NYPD has given her an opportunity to protest.

Loomer claims that Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter personally banned her and many other alt-white agitators like Milo Yiannopoulos, Chuck Johnson, Alex Jones and others.

Why are we rewarding bigots like Loomer?

She is upset that Twitter stopped her profit. She used to make a huge profit off promoting videos via Twitter. I mean she has harassed and berated hundreds of people for what purpose?

Click bait.

This woman is a disease.

NRATV Goes Dark!

Dana Loesch is leaving NRATV. 
The National Rifle Association is bleeding. It's not a self inflicted gun wound.

The revenue for the NRA has been drying up thanks to the successful campaign against the gun lobby's grip on Washington, DC. Many Republican House members were defeated. Some were endorsed and given donations from the NRA. Some of the Republicans who won their U.S. Senate races barely won. They didn't get the boast from the gun lobby. They got the boast from gerrymandering and racist tactics.

The company has losers like Dan Bongino, Colion Noir, Grant Stinchfield, Oliver North, Wayne LaPierre, Cam Edwards, Chuck Holton and Dana Loesch. They represent the voice of the NRA.

The NRA is strongly opposed to gun control and legislation to curb gun violence.

They only motto to stopping a mass shooter is a "good guy with a gun."

Tell that to the young man who lost his life in an Alabama mall. Emantic Bradford, Jr. was one of those "good guys with a gun." He was killed by the cops because he was a "guy with a gun."

The NRATV network is often seen on YouTube, Roku, AppleTV, Chromecast, and Amazon FireTV.

However nobody is watching it.

People are not interested in reality shows like Love at First Shot and Trust The Hunter in Your Blood.

The company is shedding staff and cutting back on production of series.

According to The Trace, the company is shaving off a handful of staffers. The video streaming operation is not profitable.

Longtime NRATV producer Cameron Gray is upset. He was let go after almost 10 years of working for SiriusXM's Cam & Co, a marquee program on Patriot SXM.
Dan Bongino is one of the primary voices on NRATV.
Gray was most often seen on NRATV as a producer and occasional guest host for Cam & Co., a weekday three-hour talk radio-style broadcast that covers gun issues as well as general conservative interest stories. Gray wrote on his LinkedIn profile that he has worked on the show since 2009. Cam & Co. was first launched in 2004 with host Cam Edwards as the flagship of the NRA’s media operation, which was then called NRA News. Cam & Co. was also broadcast on the Sportsman Channel beginning in January 2013 through its cancellation by the network in June 2015. It remains to be seen whether Cam & Co. will continue to be broadcast; the November 28 broadcast of the show was a repeat of the previous day’s episode.

The dismissals come on the back of a string of evidence that the NRA is in poor financial health.

The gun lobby has fallen short on the money train. They obtained only $55 million from 2016-17 and have a deficit of $18 million According to a lawsuit filed by insurance broker Lockton Affinity earlier this year, the NRA has not been able to renew umbrella liability coverage essential to running a media operation or putting on public events.

The NRA is taking a nosedive. It's going down hard.

The gun lobby is still a part of the problem.

Are you tired of "thoughts and prayers?"

Are you tired of flags being lowered?

Are you tired of people offering their hearts to the victims?

Are you tired of "moments of silence?"

I am. I am very tired of hearing the same old word vomit from politicians, celebrities and those who want to feel good about doing nothing. The National Rifle Association and Republicans are killing us.
Colion  Noir might get cut from NRATV.
As expected, trolls will find some way to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama and others for the actions of the terrorist. They don't seem to care about the lives of these victims.

After a few days of coverage, we move on to other controversies.

Trump and Congress will not do anything. Republicans control the Senate. Democrats will soon control the House of the Representatives. They will not get any bipartisan legislation to stop gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

AS EXPLAINED IN EARLY POSTINGS, BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.

A RESTRAINING ORDER IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. IT WILL DRIVE A PERSON TO KILL THEIR SPOUSE, PARTNER, CO-WORKERS, CELEBRITIES AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE THE TIME BOMBS FOR A MASS SHOOTER.

DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT CHICAGO. GUN VIOLENCE HAPPENS EVERYWHERE.

DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT CHICAGO HAS GUN CONTROL LAWS AND IT HASN'T DONE MUCH. ILLINOIS IS AN OPEN CARRY STATE. CITIZENS CAN TRAVEL TO INDIANA, WISCONSIN, MISSOURI AND KENTUCKY CAN PURCHASE FIREARMS WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTIONS.

DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT BLACK ON WHATEVER CRIME. WHITE MEN ARE FAR LIKELY TO COMMIT MASS SHOOTINGS. THEY OFTEN ARE GUN HOARDERS, FAR RIGHT EXTREMISTS AND DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

HOLD THIS CONGRESS AND YOUR STATE LEGISLATORS ACCOUNTABLE.

ENOUGH OF THE GUN VIOLENCE.

Michael Cohen Takes The Mueller Route!

Cohen rats Trump out. He pleas guilty in lying to federal authorities and Congress.
In the latest Russia meddling investigation, former attorney and fixer to Donald J. Trump, Michael Cohen plead guilty to wire fraud and witness tampering. He also plead guilty to lying about his meeting at Trump Tower. Also there were talks about a Trump Tower being built in Moscow.

This has rocked Trump's trip to Argentina where he was scheduled to meet with Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin. Trump immediately canceled the meeting citing the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Cohen acknowledged to the federal prosecutors that he was there when Donald Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner met with Russian operatives to expose Hillary Clinton through emails and wire transfers.

He also plead guilty to lying to Congress and the FBI. Both charges could carry up to 10 years in federal time out.

Cohen, who pleaded guilty in August to campaign finance violations related to payouts to porn actress Stormy Daniels, told Mueller’s office that he continued working as late as June 2016 on a deal to build a Trump Tower in Russia's capital.

He had told lawmakers last year those efforts ended in January 2016.

Cohen's plea also shows that he was in direct contact with at least one Kremlin official in early 2016 as part of his efforts to secure the real estate deal.

The attorney told investigators that he emailed the press secretary for Russian president Vladimir Putin on Jan. 14, 2016, and again two days later, saying he was trying to reach another high-level Russian official who was not identified in the court document.

Cohen received an email from the press secretary’s personal assistant Jan. 20, 2016, asking him to call her Moscow-based phone number — which the attorney did, and they spoke for about 20 minutes.

He told the Kremlin employee about his position in the Trump Organization, and described the proposed Moscow project and identified a development company as their partner.

"COHEN requested assistance in moving the project forward, both in securing land to build the proposed tower and financing the construction," the plea agreement says.

The assistant asked detailed questions and took notes, according to Mueller’s investigators, and two days later Cohen heard from an individual who appears to be Felix Sater, a Russian-born businessman who worked with Trump Organization on the deal.
Trump calls Cohen a coward and said that he's willing to say anything to get a lighter sentence.
"The day after COHEN's call with Assistant 1, Individual 2 (Sater) contacted him, asking for a call," the plea says. "Individual 2 wrote to COHEN, 'It’s about [the President of Russia] they called today.'"

The plea agreement shows Cohen and Sater tried to arrange a trip by the attorney to Russia — and possibly Trump himself.

"I had a chat with Moscow," Sater wrote Cohen on May 4, 2016, according to the plea. "ASSUMING the trip does happen the question is before or after the convention … Obviously the pre-meeting trip (you only) can happen anytime you want but the 2 big guys where [sic] the question. I said I would confirm and revert."
Birther king Jerome Corsi rejects plea deal.
"My trip before Cleveland," Cohen responded. "[Individual 1] once he becomes the nominee after the convention."

Sater told Cohen the following day the Russian press secretary would like to invite him to a forum in mid-June 2016 in St. Petersburg, where he offered to introduce the attorney to Putin or the Russian prime minister to discuss "anything you want."

"Works for me," Cohen wrote back May 6, 2016.

However, Cohen stopped responding to Sater's messages after June 9, 2016 — the date of the infamous Trump Tower meeting between top campaign officials and a Russian lawyer.

Cohen met with Sater on June 14, 2016 — the same day Russian hackers were first publicly blamed for the DNC hacks — in the lobby of Trump Tower in Manhattan and said he would not be traveling at that time.

The attorney told investigators that he had previously lied about his activities to obstruct the Mueller investigation.

"COHEN made the false statements to (1) minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1 and (2) give the false impression that the Moscow Project ended before 'the Iowa caucus and … the very first primary,' in hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations," the plea agreement says.

Cohen plainly stated in court that he lied as political protection for Trump.

"I made these statements to be consistent with Individual-1's political messaging and to be loyal to Individual-1," Cohen told the court.

The other individuals in the mess include:

Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign manager who was found guilty on bank fraud and lying to federal investigators. He allegedly met Wikileaks founder Julian Assange numerous times according to The Guardian. His plea deal was rejected after it was revealed he engaged contact with Trump and attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekalow. Manafort has been allegedly lying to federal authorities and will likely face more criminal charges.

Roger Stone, former Trump campaign advisor and conservative agitator. Stone who claims that he has nothing to with Russian collusion said that the Wikileaks dump wasn't sponsored by him. He claims it was done by Democrats who were frustrated that Bernie Sanders didn't win. Stone who wanted Trump to run for years is the center of this controversy. He has been under federal watch for years because of his connections to Russian interest.

Jerome Corsi, longtime kookspiracy theorist and ally of Roger Stone. The birther king rejected a plea deal issued by the feds. He claims he doesn't want to be in a "perjury trap" and is willing to face charges for knowingly meeting with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
Chicago alderman Ed Burke is under federal watch for his ties to Trump and Russia.
Donald Trump, Jr. is under investigation as well. He went to Congress to testify under oath that he had no knowledge of Russian meddling in the U.S. Election. He said that the meeting with honey trap Natalia Veselnitskaya were discussing child adoption. Trump has claimed that he had no knowledge of the infamous Trump Tower meeting.

Also today, the feds raided the offices of a Chicago alderman who has ties to Trump. Ed Burke, the City Hall office of Finance Committee chairman was meet with federal agents. His office was covered with brown paper and the visitors were kicked out.

The law firm that did taxes for Trump for over a decade is under investigation. The Alderman who been in power since 1969 has been under watch for years.

The Scramble Egg!

Oshawa, Ontario GM assembly will close along with four U.S. locations. Donald Trump fears Ohio and Michigan may never vote for his ass after this.
Ohioans who voted for Donald J. Trump now regret his leadership. Regardless, Ohio will likely go to him in 2020 despite this latest blow to the state. Trump has a 75% chance of winning reelection.

Trump threatened to pull government subsidies from GM after the announcement of the car company closing five plants in the United States and Canada. The imbecile promised the state of Ohio that he will turn it around.

Trump won the rust belt.

Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin and Iowa went to Trump in 2016.

Ohio the crucial swing state went to Republicans in the 2018 Midterm Election. Despite the state losing population, businesses closing up, nothing changing since Republican governor John Kasich entered the state house in 2011, the state elected the turd Mike DeWine as the next Republican governor to fuck this state up more.
Another GM is closing in Michigan. This one is the Detroit/Hamtramck location near Interstate 75 and 94.
GM has blamed tariffs for one of the reasons to its decision to close up shop.

Democrats who voted for Trump are feeling the most impact. They thought they voted for someone who would change the "status quo."

Nope, they got a guy who stands lockstep with the very folks they claim they're against.

Trump's threats aren't going to change the narrative.


Does Republican leadership and policies help or hurt America? (Expect the dumbest answers to be picked by trolls)

Yes. The Republicans have always failed in governing. Their belief in capitalism has widen the gap between rich and poor. Their obsession with austerity, deregulation, culture wars and intimidation of people of color created a paradox of failure nationwide.
No. The Republicans helped rescue Americans out of poverty, food stamps, welfare and government assistance. The party is working with President Donald Trump to "Make America Great Again." Sometimes, things happen but you can't blame Republicans for years of corporate failure.

The locations that are closing include:

Detroit/Hamtramck
Warren, Michigan
Lordstown, Ohio
Baltimore/White Marsh, Maryland
Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

The company said the plan would make it more efficient, saving $6 billion a year by the end of 2020.

GM said it will slim down production to find new technology to keep the company moving forward.

GM is retiring Chevrolet Volt, Impala and Cruze, the Buick LaCrosse, the Cadillac CT6 and XTS.

As of today, the vehicles being made in final production will no longer exist.

Some of the lawmakers and the United Auto Workers say that GM is still producing those vehicles in Mexico at a lower rate. They were not pleased that GM would eliminate the U.S. and Canada for cheap laboring in Mexico.

Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada are pissed. They both met with Mary Barra and hoped that GM will invest in technology.

GM promised that they would help the middle class. It failed. Trump promised to save Ohio.

He didn't and now Ohioans and Michiganders suffer once again as well as folks in Maryland and Ontario.

Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan and Primer Doug Ford of Ontario are conservatives. See how their leadership failed the U.S. and Canada.

Now expecting Ohio Republican governor Mike DeWine and Michigan Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer to inherit the mess left by Republicans. Hogan will continue to destroy Maryland economy.

Hells & Bells!

Snowflakes.
Alleged white extremists volunteered for the Salvation Army. The extremists were stationed outside an Indiana Walmart and it caught national attention.

This is Donald J. Trump's America. This was Mike Pence's state. The state only went to the Democrat in 2008. The state trends Republican.

Hell's Angels of Northwest Indiana was hereby banned from ringing the bells.



The group slammed the decision to cancel their volunteer work. They say "PC" folks destroy their opportunities to show the good in them.



The chapter of the Northwest Indiana Hell's Angels were at a Porter County Walmart outside of Portage.

At least two of the men were wearing notable tags that represent white extremist views.

Customers reported the offensive attire to the Walmart management team. The management kindly asked the men to leave. The attire included words like "Aryan" and the Confederate flag on a patch.

The Salvation Army is known for it's stance against LGBTQ Americans. Many on the left have forgotten it's history and still promote this company.

The Salvation Army and Walmart did damage control.

"The Salvation Army is responsible for screening its volunteers station outside our stores. We've had a long history of supporting the Salvation Army and regret this isolated incident."

Stephen Hillenburg Passed Away!

Creator of SpongeBob SquarePants passed away.
American animator Stephen Hillenburg created the long running series SpongeBob Squarepants passed away. He was the creator, director and marine biologist. He was a father, husband and motivator.

The cause of death was ALS, which Hillenburg revealed he had been diagnosed with in March of last year.

“We are incredibly saddened by the news that Steve Hillenburg has passed away following a battle with ALS,” Nickelodeon said in a statement. “He was a beloved friend and long-time creative partner to everyone at Nickelodeon, and our hearts go out to his entire family. Steve imbued ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ with a unique sense of humor and innocence that has brought joy to generations of kids and families everywhere. His utterly original characters and the world of Bikini Bottom will long stand as a reminder of the value of optimism, friendship and the limitless power of imagination.”

Hillenburg graduated from Humboldt State University in 1984 with a bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Planning and Interpretation, with an emphasis on marine resources. He then became a marine biology teacher at the Orange County Marine Institute (now the Ocean Institute) in Dana Point, California. This interest, combined with his artistic talent and love of the sea and its creatures, led him to write and illustrate stories as teaching tools with characters that would later become the denizens of SpongeBob’s home, Bikini Bottom.

He began his animation career in 1987, pursuing a degree in Experimental Animation at the California Institute of Arts in Valencia and earning his Master of Fine Arts in 1992.

That same year he won an award for Best Animated Concept at the Ottawa International Animation Festival for his animated short “Wormholes”, which went on to be shown at various international animation festivals. From 1993 to 1996 he would pursue work in television as a director and writer on Nickelodeon’s series “Rocko’s Modern Life.”

From there, he began to work full-time on writing producing, and directing on the animated series that would eventually become “SpongeBob SquarePants.” The first episode aired on Nickelodeon on May 1, 1999 and the series commenced its full run on July 17 of that year. The series has aired nearly 250 episodes to date. It appealed not only to children but older viewers as well, with college students even organizing viewing parties for the show.

The series has won both U.S. and British Emmy Awards, Annie Awards, and ASACP Awards and has been dubbed or subtitled in more than 60 languages, including Urdu, Azerbaijani and Maori.

Hillenburg also wrote, produced, and directed “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie,” which was released in 2004 and went on to gross over $140 million worldwide. Hillenburg then wrote the story for and was the executive producer of the sequel, “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” in 2015.

Hillenburg — or Steve as he was known to family, friends, and fans — was born August 21, 1961, at Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma. After leaving the military, his father, Kelly N. Hillenburg, Jr., became a draftsman and designer for aerospace companies. His mother Nancy taught visually impaired students.

He is survived by his wife of 20 years Karen Hillenburg, son Clay, mother Nancy Hillenburg (nee Dufour) and brother Brian Kelly Hillenburg, his wife Isabel, and nieces Emma and Hazel.

Cindy Hyde-Smith: Hang In There!

That racist won.
The Mississippi run-off comes to an end. The Republicans will continue to be party that represents racism, stupidity and greed.

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) wins the run-off despite a flurry of racist and incompetent remarks.

Hyde-Smith defeated challenger Mike Espy, a Democrat, in the runoff election for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi. Hyde-Smith was appointed earlier this year by GOP Gov. Phil Bryant after Sen. Thad Cochran, also a Republican, stepped down. Hyde-Smith is the first woman elected to the Senate from Mississippi, and the Republican majority in the Senate will grow to 53-47.

It is a slim majority that could confirm Supreme Court nominees, treaties and Donald J. Trump's appointees.

And we can thank racism for the results.

Espy, her opponent, is a former congressman and former agriculture secretary.
Mike Espy couldn't muster enough votes to beat that racist Cindy Hyde-Smith.
Hyde-Smith and Espy advanced to a run-off because neither won 50 percent of the vote in the general election on Nov. 6. Hyde-Smith won 41.2 percent, compared to Espy's 40.8 percent, and Republican Chris McDaniel picked up 16.5 percent.

Trump endorsed Hyde-Smith, and visited Mississippi on Monday for two rallies supporting her campaign.

The Republicans will continue to hold on to the rural, ignorant, condescending white vote.

T.J. Cox: See You In Washington!

Welcome to Congress T.J. Cox.
Fresno area lawmaker may go down in flames giving Democrats a net of 40 seats this Midterm.

Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) is the latest Republican to feel the Blue Wave crashing down on him.

His lead has all but evaporate, with the latest vote count showing a narrow lead for Democratic opponent T.J. Cox. If the lead stands, Cox will give the Democrats 40 seats.

That will make California almost a strong hold for the Democrats. Out of 53 lawmakers, 46 of the delegation is Democratic. Only 7 Republicans remain in the delegation. That means Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) is endanger of losing his seat in the 2020 race.
California Republican David Valadao went down in flames.
Fresno is a large city in California. It's population is 630,000 residents. It is the one of the largest cities in the United States that has no Interstate Highway System.

The results to be certified in December.

The Republicans were dominant in New England and the Pacific Northwest. They are almost a rare breed in these regions.

GM Punches Trump In The Gut!

Ohio went to Trump. MAGA didn't help the Youngstown/Warren - Mahoning Valley region.

General Motors is shutting down facilities in the United States and Canada.

How's that Jobs and Tax Cuts Act working for you?

Two states that Donald J. Trump carried are affected by GM's closure. I guess this is what you get when you vote for Republicans. I also want to say that John Kasich was a crappy governor. He may be the rational voice within the Republican Party but he as well as Trump created the mess.

Now this turd Mike DeWine coming in January. He's going to hurt Ohio more.

He will invest in more stupid tax cuts and deregulation.

So the largest GM facility in Ohio is closing. No surprise here. It affects thousands of workers in the metro Youngstown area. It affects the lawmakers who represent that region. It will be a campaign issue in 2020.

GM took advantage of the Cash for Clunkers, the TARP law and the Jobs and Tax Cuts Act. They have profited billions out of the tax breaks. It also reorganized itself during the Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Donald Trump and Mary Berra, the embattled CEO of GM. How's that tax cut working for you?
Two facilities in Michigan, one facility in Ohio, one facility in Maryland and one in Ontario, Canada.

The affects of GM closing affects thousands of Americans who worked there.

Since I live in Ohio, it affects me.

The rust belt is once again hit. The Mahoning Valley gets hit with the news.

GM Lordstown is closing by March 2019. The facility is located between Cleveland and Youngstown. It is located near the Ohio Turnpike which carries transcontinental highway Interstate 80. Lordstown plant had more than 4,500 employees less than two years ago, but that number has since fallen.

It affects Ohio once again. It was 10 years ago, the GM Truck Facility closed in 2008 leaving Dayton, Ohio and the Miami Valley a big hurt. It hasn't bounce back since the departure.

Fuyao, a Chinese glass manufacture moved into one of the abandoned GM facilities. It's been there for about four years now.

TJX Corporation which owns TJ Maxx, Homegoods and Marshalls announced it will build a distribution center in Lordstown.

It won't be enough to replace the jobs that GM offered.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Rob Portman (D-OH) and Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) were pissed.

Kasich and DeWine both express anger at GM for allowing this to go forth.
The Ohio Turnpike overlooks the Lordstown GM Assembly. The company blames tariffs for the immediate shutdown.
GM blames Trump for starting a trade war. The company believes that those damn tariffs and his reckless behavior costed them billions.

Earlier today, the Associated Press reported GM is also closing a Canadian plant at the cost of about 2,500 jobs.

A person briefed on the matter told The Associated Press that the plant being shuttered in Canada is just the beginning as GM prepares for the next economic downturn, shifting trade agreements under the Trump administration, and potential tariffs on imported automobiles.

In the fall, the Detroit automaker offered buyouts to 18,000 white collar workers, but it has yet to say how many accepted, or if it's close to meeting the staff reduction goals it set to better withstand leaner times.

The Associated Press later reported that GM plans to slash 14,700 jobs and may close as many as five U.S. factories.

Mia Love: I Hate To Say This! My Fellow [Republicans] Are Racist!

Outgoing Republican Mia Love slams Republicans for embracing racism.
Outgoing lawmaker Mia Love of Utah finally delivered her concession speech. She aims at Donald J. Trump, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, conservative agitators and the principles she valued as a Republican.

The first African American woman to represent the Beehive State lost to Ben McAdams, a Democratic former mayor of Salt Lake County.

Her lost was a huge blow to a promising career.

As a woman, Love was active in supporting Trump's policies.

However, Trump railed on her for not going full out racist. Love avoided talking about Trump during her reelection bid.

Love, who represented the district for two terms was hoping to secure a third term. The district is heavily favored towards Republicans. However, this race was different.

Love said that Trump better watch his mouth when he talks to a Black woman.

"The president's behavior towards me made me wonder: What did he have to gain by saying such a thing about a fellow Republican. It was not really about asking him to do more, was it? Or was it something else? Well Mr. President, we'll have to chat about that. However, this give mer a clear vision of his world as it is. No real relationships, just convenient transactions. That is an insufficient way to implement sincere service and policy."

She said that Tim Scott and Will Hurd are the last Black representation left. She fears they might distance themselves from the Republican Party as well.

"This election experience and these comments shine a spotlight on the problems Washington politicians have with minorities and Black Americans --- it's transactional, it's not personal."

She added, "You see, we feel like politicians claim they know what's best for us from a safe distance, yet they're never willing to take us home. Because Republicans never take minority communities into their homes and citizens into their hearts, they stay with Democrats and bureaucrats in Washington because they do take them home --- or at least make them feel like they have a home."

Love hasn't express interest in a rematch as of yet. But she said that now that she's no longer restricted to the policies of Washington, she might come out swinging against Trump.

Many Republicans are concern that the party is becoming increasingly white.

Love, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) are the only Black Republicans in the current session.

Most of the Republicans elected to the freshman class are white. Of those few were women. Sen-Elect Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) was the only woman to be elected for a first term.

Hopefully we can change the direction. Could Cindy Hyde-Smith face a defeat?

Tonight Trump will do two rallies in Mississippi. He and Republicans hope to fend off Mike Espy, a Black former Democratic lawmaker's attempt to uproot a gaffe-prone bigot like Hyde-Smith.

Don't F*ck With Them!

Man picked the wrong island to fuck with.
You can't fix stupid.

Don't fuck with nature.

American thrill seeker John Allen Chau found his last calling on an island. He went to the isolate island of North Sentinel to bring Christianity to the island natives.

He lost badly.

The man was killed by a indigenous tribe in India. He wanted to convert the natives of this remote island into Christians. The man sought assistance from local fisherman to reach this island.

Once he reached land, he was met with arrows and was immediately killed. The natives took his body away and buried in the sand. Now the family wants his body back. The Indian government is warning the family that they're not going to risk their lives to save a fool.
Foolish mistake for American man.
The Indian government said to the man's family, there's not much they can do.

Using binoculars, officers were in a police boat near the shore. The island natives were ready for attack. The police backed off. Under Indian law, the Sentinelese tribe, a pre-neolithic tribe is a protected class. No one was supposed to disturb the natives.

Two Indian men were killed back in 2006 when they went to the island. They were killed and flogged to the facing of the sea.

The death is considered a murder. But the Indian government isn't going to risk charging those involved. The area is protected and Chau made the mistake of ignoring warnings and putting everyone's lives in danger.

The fishermen who helped him reached the island will face criminal charges.

Now the world is now interested in the island. They now want to explore the island and try to determine the natives.

This foolish mistake could put the island at risk of disease and more thrill seekers.
