The U.S. Treasury announced a new design for the $10 bill. The bill will feature a woman.
Who will get blamed now that the conservatives found out this bit of historical news?
A. Barack Obama
B. Hillary Clinton
C. Michelle Obama
D. Women's Rights Groups
E. Liberals
F. All of These Above
Guess who's on the $10 American bill?
Okay, I give you a hint..... He was the first U.S. Treasury Secretary and a statesman. He was assassinated in a duel. He was a founding member of this great country.
Give up.
Okay, his name is Alexander Hamilton. He's not a president. He and founding father Benjamin Franklin are on American currency. Hamilton and Franklin are not presidents. But they are honored respectively for their achievements.
Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 American bill. That is the highest domination to exist. There are rare higher domination bills. But the United States mandates that no amount shall exceed $100.
Alexander Hamilton is on the $10 American bill.
When the year 2020 comes, the U.S. Treasury will be kicking him to the curb.
It was announced by current U.S. Secretary Jack Lew that a woman would be featured on a redesigned ten-dollar bill by 2020. The Department of Treasury is seeking the public's input on whom should appear on the new bill.
So who's gonna get the prize?
My top choices for nomination.
1. Michelle Obama (living)
2. Nancy Reagan (living)
3. Hillary Clinton (living)
4. Harriet Tubman
5. Susan B. Anthony
6. Jacqueline Kennedy
7. Betsy Ross
8. Martha Washington
9. Mary Todd Lincoln
10. Shirley Chisolm
11. Claudia Alta Taylor "Lady Bird" Johnson
12. Coretta Scott King
13. Rosa Parks
14. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
15. Sacagawea
Rachel Dolezal and her two sons. In an interview with Matt Lauer, Dolezal says that no matter what anyone says about her, she's "Black" and her family matters than someone's opinion.
If Black women dye their hair blonde, red, hazel, or different color, they're still Black. If a White woman dyes their hair, tan their skin and talks in a matter of being Black, then they're Black.
This is what the former president of the NAACP is considering herself as and she's defiant about it.
In damage control, Rachel Dolezal appears on the junk food media outlets to dispute the charges hurled at her. This became a talked about story.
Her biological parents came out and told the junk food media that Rachel's been estranged from them for nearly a decade. She was outed by her parents for being trapped in the wrong skin. Basically she's a Black woman trapped in a White woman's body.
The media has found out that she tried to sue Howard University, a historically Black college because she felt that she wasn't getting her dues because she was a White woman.
Her ex-husband had promised to spill the dirt for $$$$$. The conservative Craigslist linked a Radar story about a mysterious sex tape circulating online. It shows Dolezal in it. Did he leak it?
Dolezal resigned as the president of the western branch of the NAACP.
What Black women think about it?
Mostly in a negative way.
She's a white woman who disguised herself as Black woman. She tries to act Black and use a Black woman's beauty as an excuse. This managed to become a national discussion on White privilege.
Many believe that she should be called out for being a fake to the cause.
It's a shame that despite all the good she's done, this one incident tarnished it.
I've said this time after time, the NAACP is not a Black group. It's devoted to civil rights and equal rights for all. It accepts anyone of color. It doesn't matter if you're Black, Brown, White, or other.
You support their cause, you're welcomed with open arms.
The racist right is aiming at the NAACP and of course President Barack Obama. They see the oldest civil rights organization and the president as the biggest racists to ever exist.
Dolezal appears on Melissa Harris-Perry and the Today show to discuss the controversy.
The NBA's Golden State Warriors win the NBA Championship.
In over 40 years, the Golden State Warriors managed secure a NBA Title in a thrilling Game 6.
The Warriors lead Stephen Curry overpowered Lebron James. Despite the praise from his disgruntled fans, the high scores and cheers, James and his team couldn't beat a strong offense the Warriors offered.
They clobber the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. 105 - 97 was the final score.
The Warriors lead throughout the series beating Labron James. James now has a nasty stockloss in this final.
Congratulations to the Warriors coach Steve Kerr on leading the Western Conference champions to the NBA Title victory.
They promised the fans there will be no more embarrassments.
Great victory for Stephen Curry, Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and David Lee. You guys deserve the title.
Oakland, San Francisco will celebrate their team's victory.
The Cavs were defeated on home turf and I am expecting that the fans will riot.
Will the junk food media call it "upset fans" or "thugs"?
Donald Trump is a business mogul and reality television star. Now you can add a presidential candidate to his roster.
Trump declared his intentions to run face first into the clown car.
Today at the Trump Enterprises, the mogul decided the time is now for him to jump into the clown car.
"Our country needs a truly great leader," says Trump. He added, "We need a leader that wrote The Art of the Deal". That was plug for his book.
He declared that the Republican candidates are worthless. He said that the Democrats and Republicans are not doing enough for America and he said that he would love to "fire" them.
The Donald wants to fire everyone in Washington.
He saved his best for President Barack Obama. He banned the president from his properties after Obama mocked him during the White House Correspondence Dinner. Since the president takes up time doing the golf courses, Trump went right into him.
He would lift the ban only if Obama would leave office effective immediately.
He took a populist form. He told that the need to save Medicare and Medicaid are essential. He said that the ACA (Obamacare) is a disaster and he wants it repealed. He declared that China is a threat.
Trump also made it clear: "If I get elected president, I will bring it back, bigger and better than ever".
Trump is a notorious birther. He has attack the president on this for years. He was a headache for the Republicans. They were looked upon as a joke. And now this carnival barker is in the race.
It's going to be a real cabal of candidates now that Trump is in.
Democrats are well aware of that network. They often warn candidates running for higher office to make sure you ignore them. They make stuff up.
Democrats should go onto the network. They shouldn't ignore the network. I mean they should actually go on these programs and combat the bullshit. They need to call out each and every agitator who dares calls them by name. Since the network loves to yell and scream about how the media is bias against Republicans, the Democrats should first say your network is profiting very well off this partisan bias.
In closing words they should tell those agitators that their network is the campaign arm of the Republican Party.
In the first run, Barack Obama told his staffers that that network has no place for him. Obama knew that John Kerry didn't stand up to the network when they ran all them smears against him. He had to hit them back. And hit them hard. He froze them out after they ran a story that claimed Hillary Clinton camp found out he attended a madrassa. It turns out to be false and that network ran that.
He called them out when they were running the Jeremiah Wright controversy nonstop. Campaign staffers called out some agitators for false and misleading lies.
Now as president, Obama knew that the network is devoted to taking his legacy down. Since 2009, the White House had feuded with the network. This feud continues to this day. Obama doesn't often appear on that network for interviews. He often gets into a hostile interview with a supposedly non-partisan reporter.
The network that scares White folks with stories of Blacks stealing from a liquor store is now devoted to scaring them with stories of a woman in a pantsuit.
Hillary Clinton pissed off Ed Henry. As often, Henry is a piece of shit. He tried to push another ridiculous loaded question at her while she was greeting supporters.
Ed Henry pissed that Hillary Clinton ignored his questions about her popularity and Benghazi.
He often spars with White House Press Secretary Josh Ernest. The network is labeled by the White House without the "news".
Henry was close to the press pool and he wanted to bum rush her with questions about her likability and her challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) gaining an advantage in Wisconsin.
Clinton ignored him. The U.S. Secret Service told him to bounce.
Now Henry is pissed and he's poo pooing on his network about how Hillary is not willing to face tough questions. Where does he go to bitch about Hillary.
That annoying conservative agitator spends his whole time trying to find accomplishments that she's done. He's doing his part to help her win by obsessing over her.
Back then he had that turd Dick Morris on the network. Morris would often run the gossip about her being in a huge feud with the president. That annoying conservative agitator was demoted and Morris was fired out the cannon after reporting numerous times that Barack Obama would lose in a landslide.
Then he puts on lack of accomplished lawmakers Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) for a sit down. He doesn't ask them what accomplishments they've had since they've been in the Senate. Matter of fact, establishment member Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has no accomplishments too.
Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) (right) apologized for sexist remark about presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
With friends like these....Who needs enemies?
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is running for president. He is a pro war candidate. He believes that President Barack Obama's foreign policies ruined relationships with the 51st State of Israel. He believes that radical Islam is worse than racism in his own state.
He believes that if he charts the right plans, he will be the nominee. He believes that Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are extremely incompetent. He already got the endorsements of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and former Joe Lieberman.
He's in his early 60s and lives in Charleston. He serves with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). Scott is the first Black senator in a long time to be elected in the South. He was appointed by Nikki Haley, the Republican governor to serve the remaining term of Jim DeMint, who resigned to become president of the Heritage Foundation. Scott and Graham are diverse in two ways.
Scott is Black. Scott is Republican. Scott is single. But Scott is straight.
Graham is white. Graham is a Republican. Graham is single. Graham is running for president. Graham is being question for his sexuality.
Many Republicans whisper that Graham is openly gay but remains confident that his sexuality will not be used as a weapon for the election.
Graham said that his sister could be the First Lady of the United States. He said that he could have a rotating first lady if necessary. He said that all the first ladies from Michelle Obama to Nancy Reagan are glamorous. He skipped Hillary Clinton. He must have forgotten that she was a first lady.
He's still obsessed with Benghazi and the server.
Enter Mark Kirk. The Illinois senator who survived a stroke is one of the very few "bipartisan" lawmakers in Washington. He is known to tell some funny jokes.
One joke fell flat.
Kirk was caught on camera telling the junk food media about Graham's wasted effort. He believes that Graham has a chance but he felt that it's not worth it. After he's a "bro with no ho".
That comment lit the internet on fire. Kirk had to face a few days of harsh criticism. He would later apologize by press statement and personal apology.
Graham is not offended. But I guess he knows that Kirk isn't supporting his bid.
Okay, the Democrats hope to recapture the senate. They have a difficult path to cross. Republicans have control of both the House and Senate. The south is nearly void of Democrats.
It's going to be a long time before the south can finally elect a Democratic senator.
But in the meanwhile, the Democrats hope to retake Wisconsin and Illinois. Two senators know the risk. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) are the two most vulnerable in the 2016 U.S. Senate race.
So far I have Wisconsin as LEAN REPUBLICAN and Illinois as a TOSS UP.
Kirk will possibly face a Democratic nominee who may be more stronger this time around.
Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) is a double amputee Iraq war veteran. She hopes she could shake the nut out of the tree. Duckworth is a two term congresswoman who beat insurgent Joe Walsh in the 2012 election.
Stallmigo Tom Cotton (R-AR) one served one term in the U.S. House before he took an opportunity to run for U.S. Senate. Cotton, a former Iraq war veteran went on to beat Mark Pryor in 2014.
Kirk's mishaps could help Duckworth secure an easy victory.
The former Republican governor of Florida has decided Monday will be the time to jump into the clown car. He will be the (uh, the one of many) declared.
He will face fellow Floridan Marco Rubio, and numerous others.
John Ellis Bush will face an uphill climb. Many see him as a reminder of a failed legacy. Others see him as the potential to beat Hillary Clinton.
He's off to a rough start. Many of the party's faithful have already considering a traitor for embracing immigration reform. There was a little award that was given to Hillary a few years back.
Bush is willing to do bipartisanship. That's something that the insurgency refuses to support.
They don't want big government Republicans. They don't want amnesty supporting Republicans.
Jeb is trying to distance himself from the Bush legacy.
I am guessing they'll attack him on his socially conservative stances as well.
After a few years of gathering the $$$$, Jeb is in. He's got the most to lose in this battle.
Well let's see who's in this.
Ted Cruz
Rand Paul
Marco Rubio
Benjamin Carson
Carly Fiorina
Mike Huckabee
Rick Santorum
George Pataki
Lindsey Graham
Rick Perry
Now add Jeb Bush.
If they decide on jumping into the clown car, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, John Kasich and Donald Trump will join a crowded tent.
I will be honest with you, none of these candidates inspire me. Not even the Democrats.
