Republicans Literally Make Mountains Out Of Bullshit!

Out the trash bin comes former vice president Dick Cheney. He and daughter Liz are pushing a book criticizing President Barack Obama's handling of the war in Iraq.

The former vice president and his lobbyist daughter are pimping out a book criticizing the Iranian deal. Again, pimping this notion that the world is evil and America must stop them.

The former vice president is by far the most hated in American history.

The Republicans often distance themselves from the Bush legacy. The failures of leadership mount through Dick Cheney's influence on George W. Bush. As the right hand man, Cheney will advice the president on where they should go if they were to engage in combat. Bush would lead us into two wars. One in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. Those wars cost numerous causalities. It became one of the most costliest wars to ever be on record.

George W. Bush enjoyed high job approval ratings during the September 11th tragedy and first years of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Also winning reelection with a steady economy was a plus. The ball was dropped during his second term. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq went south, his job approval went down. When Hurricane Katrina and Rita went down, the Bush legacy went down in flames. Then the economic crash occurred. That put the country in a recession.

This led to the Republicans being thrown out of Congress and Barack Obama becoming the president. When he became the president, the Republicans wasted no time trying to find fault with the new president.

They would immediately start this insurgency movement to undermine the progress the president.

The Republicans went into this narrative that Obama's not working, Obamacare is a disaster, Obama this and Obama that. That helped them win back Congress.

Now the Republicans control Congress and they're back to their old ways. Still acting inept and still trying to blame the president for their own failures. Their failures are causing our country to suffer.

Yet, it's Obama's fault.

Matter of fact, the bitching continues.
Cheney and his daughter wrote a book criticizing President Barack Obama's foreign policies.
The Ohio Republicans are mad that the President Barack Obama issued an executive order changing Mount McKinley to its tribal name Denali. The president travels to Alaska to address climate change and of course grant land to the oil companies. The mountain was named after William McKinley.

House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and John Kasich, the clown running for the White House all bitched about it. They believe the president is throwing William McKinley under the bus.

As I watched the junk food media AM shows and political agitators give Cheney and his daughter Liz exposure.

Climbing from underneath the rock, Cheney pimps this notion that the president is not willing to see engagement with dangerous regimes such as Iran. He also blames the president for the mandatory troop withdrawal from Iraq. The Islamic State has grown in power and Republicans are seething for another war engagement.

Their book is basically a critique of President Barack Obama's handling of Iraq and the rise of the Islamic State. Also added their criticism of the Iranian deal.

The former vice president claims the president doesn't believe in American exceptionalism.

This book Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America is released today and it's certainly a talked about book.

Also conservative agitators are willing to book him and Liz on their shows. They ask if they're surprised about the rise of Donald Trump and the fall of Jeb Bush.

Cheney without endorsing said that Trump is an example of the anger at Obama and Hillary Clinton.

So are you willing to buy the book?

Michael Riley, Jr. Dies From Brain Eating Parasite!

A parasite killed a young prospect.

A young athlete loses his life to a parasite that managed to eat his brain.

He and his friend were jogging through a suburban Houston park, when he decided to go into the pond near the trail. He jumped into the water. He came out fine. But a few days later, he got very ill.

This 14 year old athlete Michael John Riley Jr. died 17 days after he contracted primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) while swimming in a freshwater lake at Huntsville State Park. Michael's family wrote on Facebook that the three-time junior Olympian "fought a courageous fight over the past week, allowing him to move on to be with the Lord for future heavenly tasks, a beautiful set of wings, and a pair of gold running shoes."

PAM is caused by the Naegleria fowleri amoeba. "They get water up their nose with those organisms in there," an epidemiologist told the Chronicle. "They start invading the nasal tissues. They basically go all the way to the brain and you get a brain infection." Experts advise against allowing warm, still water—found in lakes, ponds, and pools—to go up one's nose to decrease the chance of infection. Symptoms include headache, fever, nausea, stiff neck, and seizures, according to the CDC.

It's an unfortunate circumstance.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Michael Riley, Jr. 

Pass The Popcorn, It's More Uglier Over At The Network!

Many consider this network the communication arm of the Republican Party. 

I kind of wished President Barack Obama ran a third term. He would beat every contender running.

He seems to ignore the noise. And believe me, many of us should. But it's a shame we can't! The noise is still making $$$$$$$$$$. The junk food media is basically the best PR for a bunch of idiots who talk a lot of shit.

It's also the best PR for The Donald, Uncle Ben and iCarly.

Donald Trump, Benjamin Carson and Carly Fiorina have no political experience but they're leading in the national polls. The only candidate that has little political experience is Stallmigo Cruz.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is in fourth place right now. The establishment candidates running Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, John Kasich, and Chris Christie are barely in the top ten. They were supposed to be the best to run against Hillary Clinton. Well with no media coverage, they're suffering.
Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson are top-tier candidates.
Matter of fact, everyone expect the herd will be thinning soon.

There are 17 clowns running for the Republican nomination. There are 5 clowns running for the Democratic nomination.

The Democrats are souring on Hillary Clinton. They fear that the mudslinging has taken its toll. She is taking hits from the right and the left. The left thinks she's too established. The right thinks she too liberal. The national polls suggest she's untrustworthy and dishonest.

Ouch.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is in second place and is slowly catching up with Clinton. If Vice President Joe Biden joins the race, it will make the Democrats less inspired.

The Democrats really have a weak field of candidates. The junk food media barely covers Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb. The news is solely focused on Clinton, Sanders and possibly Biden.

Again, no one should drop out until the delegates are counted and distributed.
Donald Trump is leading in most national polls. Scott Walker is struggling.
Polls don't matter. Votes do.

If the Republican and Democratic primary voters select their candidate then that's who wins the party's nomination. The junk food media is invested in this clown car. It's an unprecedented amount of Republican contenders in this race. The Democratic candidates are relatively weak. The Republicans are so invested in repealing Obamacare, Hillary's server, stopping Iran's nuclear deal and sending immigrants back.

To be clear, Republicans have the most to gain in this election. They are riding on this nationalist rhetoric and it maybe their last rite as the White majority political party. Democrats have the most to lose. They have lack of diversity in their candidates and the groups that support Democrats the most are not inspired by Hillary Clinton and are barely jumping into Bernie Sanders corner.

If the Republicans are hoping that Trump self destructs, then they better hope it happens when it gets colder in the year. Trump is considered a bombastic agitator and blowhard. But his rhetoric along with Ted Cruz makes them favorites among the insurgency. Same goes for Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson. They have no experience. It doesn't matter to the base. They love to hear the word vomit coming from their mouths.

Democrats better mount a defense. Start playing the role of Republican basher. The Democrats are extremely spineless because they don't want to lose the voters who may crossover (i.e. independents).

Anyway, do you view that network as the public relations arm of the Republican Party?

Wes Craven Passed Away!

Wes Craven, actor and movie director passed away of terminal brain cancer.

On Sunday, the entertainment industry lost a legend. Famed horror director Wes Craven passed away of brain cancer.

His representatives confirmed the director had passed away fighting terminal cancer.

Wesley Earl "Wes" Craven (August 2, 1939 – August 30, 2015) was an American film director, writer, producer, and actor known for his work on horror films, particularly slasher films. He died weeks after his 76th birthday.
Wes Craven on the set of The New Nightmare with Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.
Wes was famous for the cult classic Nightmare on Elm Street. It introduced the world to Freddy Krueger, the infamous serial killer who stalked his victims in their dreams. He was responsible for the hit thriller Scream. Craven also directed all four films in the Scream series, and co-created the Ghostface character. Some of his other films include The Hills Have Eyes, The Last House on the Left, Red Eye and My Soul to Take.


Grown up in Cleveland, Ohio, Wes always had an interest in the art of horror. He was a professor working at a college. He taught English studies. He got bored with teaching. He thought of doing X-rated movies but felt that the market was swamped with it. So he decided to take advantage of the teenage lust of sex and spice it up with a serial maniac who took advantage of their naive awareness.

The directing of Nightmare of Elm Street was on a low budget. That movie would go on to become one of the best screams in history. It would spark numerous sequels, a crossover with infamous Jason Voorhies of Friday The 13th and a reboot.

Also the Scream movie was one of the highest grossing horror movies to ever exist. He would produce the three sequels and executive produce the television series.

His art gave people a reason to fear the unknown. Believe me the damsel in distress is often the first to go in a most horror movies.

We're gonna miss them days.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Wes Craven.



John Felton: [Dayton Police] Profile Black Motorists!

Detroit motorist got razzed by the law.

The folks over at Mediaite happened to pick up on a story that happened in this rust belt city that I call home. There was a case of profiling by the law of a motorist.

Dayton Daily News also noted that the Dayton Police offered a response to the motorist.

John Felton was in my city. He was originally a resident from Dayton but would move to the Detroit metro area. He would film one of Dayton officers pulling him over.

This officer followed him for two miles before he was pulling over.

John whips out the camera phone. The officer approaches his vehicle and told him of his infraction.

The infraction was a turn signal violation. John knew this was happening. He said that the officer followed him because he had Michigan license plates. 

The officer returns back and tells him he had a warning for the infraction. Of course, John wasn't pleased about the pull over in the first place. He asked why was the officer following him for that long of a distance before a pull over was engaged. 

The officer basically said that John "made suspicious eye contact" and he didn't want to argue with him. The officer said that he can reissue a citation for the encounter. Told him to move along or be cited. 

John like most Americans was shocked about the encounter. Given that he mentioned the tragic situation in Texas with Sandra Bland. He noted that he didn't want to end up like many Black motorists in police custody.

So he posted the video to the social media and also reported the officer to his superiors. 

The Dayton police said the traffic infraction was verified by the video, but “making direct eye contact with an officer is not a basis for a traffic stop.”

The department said Felton has agreed to a conversation with the officer, facilitated by the Dayton Mediation Center.

“This will allow Mr. Felton and the officer to discuss the specifics of the incident,” the department said.
Routine pull over.
The department, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio State Highway Patrol were conducted Safe Communities Through Aggressive Traffic Enforcement.

SCATE is an initiative that is aimed at decreasing OVI-related fatalities and injuries in the city of Dayton. So according to the law, they were doing spot it, stop it! Yeah, that's their excuse.

Again, the law can lie when they do a pull over. They can lie when they issue a citation. They can lie when they use their firearm in deadly force. They can lie when the suspect is killed while in custody.

They can use the media to paint the suspect as a "no good thug" while the officer is a "dedicated" public servant.

Usually getting pulled over by police does involve a minor infraction.

I've explained in earlier year, I had been profiled by the law too. 

Their excuse is failure to signal at 100 feet. There is an ordinance. But oftentimes that's the most usual excuse for an officer to search your vehicle without justification. 

Montgomery County Sheriff and the Dayton Police usually pull this of bullshit. I've been profiled three times this year. The first encounter was explained in a posting. The second encounter involved two officers who are in the freezer after they killed a motorist they claimed had a gun and pointed at them. These encounters involved the Harrison Township branch of the Montgomery County Sheriff.

The third time was back in June. This happened in the South (formerly third) district of Dayton Police.

I've been followed for four miles by an officer. I was on the main road called Third Street in the Roosevelt-Westwood neighborhood. I had some minor front end damage to the vehicle. It was 2:00 am. I was at an intersection near this road called James H. McGee Boulevard. The officer was turned left from that road. I took one look at him turn. Didn't think much of it. So as I move down the road, I see these bright lights 1/2 mile back. These bright lights were racing down Third Street. I figured that the officer did the U-turn and decided to pursue suspicion. So I was experimenting. I was about to whip out my camera phone and record the whole encounter. I decided to wait patiently for an encounter. 

I'm filming this encounter.
I decided to turn on this road called Edwin Moses Boulevard. I traveled down towards Fifth Street. I turn left and head towards downtown. I look in the back of my mirror seeing that the officer didn't follow me. So everything was fine for a moment. I was close to Sinclair Community College when I was heading towards the highway. I was at a stop light. I saw the officer drive pass.

So I decided to turn left and proceed towards the highway. About two blocks later, the officer was making a pit stop at the Chaminade-Julienne High School student parking lot.  As I passed him by, he pulls out towards the road. He decides to follow once again. I was waiting for the lights to activate. 

As I proceed towards the highway, I signaled and turned. He turned and passed me by. 

He literally followed me almost til I've gotten towards downtown. I was about to start recording the interaction. I was hoping he was going to prepare for a traffic pull over. 

And like the motorist in this posting, I've felt that the officer had an intention to harass. 

Now again, Black Lives Matter is often featured in the news. The activists are protesting for police reform and accountability. In the wake of this past week's tragic shootings, many in law enforcement blame the protesters for officer involved killings. They use their megaphone by which is the junk food media to put the Black Lives Matters activist on blast. The political agitators to stir the pot even more by trying to denounce the group as paid agitators and extremists.

I do not belong to any groups. I speak for myself and I don't have to be an activist. But I can sympathize with the Black Lives Matter movement. Enough is enough. Time to end police brutality and racial profiling. Hold them accountable for their actions.

It seems like an eye for an eye. The police won't rat out their bad officers. It goes hand and hand with the Black community refusing to rat out their bad residents responsible for criminal acts.

All this concern trolling about Black-on-Whatever crime is not helpful either. In the wake of the shooting of Texas deputy Darren Goforth, the law plays the Blame Game on activists instead of the suspect.

The suspect deserves ALL THE BLAME. No one inspired him to do a criminal act but him.

John Felton followed the rules right. He had a right to film police officers. He had a right to question why he was being pulled over by the law. That officer's conduct was out of line. John had a right to not consent to a search of his vehicle, home or property.

Hopefully this mediation will teach the officer how to avoid confrontations (at least when he's filmed by citizens).
