Vice President Joe Biden announces he's staying out the race.
Looks like the junk food media was hoping that he would enter the race for the Democratic nomination, but it seems like Vice President Joe Biden will head back to Delaware for a life of retirement.
He wants to focus on helping President Barack Obama get his agenda accomplished. Biden was still focused on the death of his oldest son Beau.
He announced today that he's not running. Conservatives are so shattered over this.
They wanted Biden to take away votes from Hillary Clinton.
Clinton who regaining the lead in polls is now confident she'll become the Democratic nominee.
She and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are so far the only candidates in the race doing better then Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Larry Lessig.
Jim Webb was the first to drop out the race. His performance at the first Democratic debate was bad.
Now he's bitching about the system. He considering running as an independent.
The New York Times really needs to load Maureen Dowd in the cannon and fire her out! Dowd is such a distraction. She got it wrong again! The rumor mill started when she reported that on Beau's dying bed, he urged his father to run. He said that he wanted to keep the Clintons out the White House.
A few of the agitators got wind of comments by Biden which hinted a run. And of course, the line where he said that "Republicans aren't our enemy" remark.
When Clinton spoke at the debate about her biggest threat to governance being Republicans, Biden shot back saying that Republicans deserve respect. He refers to Republicans as opposition. The opposition that the president will have to work with.
Biden ending his bid for president put an end to months of frothy speculation in the press, in which a seemingly endless supply of anonymous "friends," confidants," "advisers," "sources," and "Democrats" told the junk food media that he was likely getting in the race.
Did you know that Mediaite ranked her and that annoying conservative agitator as some of the worst commentators in the junk food media?
The insurgents who make up the Freedom Caucus vow to derail any Republican willing to work with President Barack Obama.
Some of the candidates running for Weeper of the House include: Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) and Rep. Jason Chaffettz (R-UT). They are running for the spot now that Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) left abruptly. He vows to leave Congress before the end of the year.
The turmoil began when Boehner's handpicked successor Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) screwed up on that annoying conservative agitator's show. He told the viewers that the Benghazi select committee was devoted to destroying Hillary Clinton at the polls. That created a shit storm within the party.
Before McCarthy was to place his bid in, he abruptly took his name out the running. Allegations of ineptness and an affair with Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) have swirled around the grapevine.
McCarthy is now fighting to stay on as Majority Leader.
Now the next handpicked candidate for the job, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Ryan is the former 2012 vice presidential nominee for the perennial loser Mitt Romney. The Wisconsin lawmaker is from Janesville and became a "rock star" during the debate over the debt ceiling.
Ryan kept a relatively low profile after the crushing defeat. He hasn't spoken much to Romney.
Ryan chairs the House Ways and Means Committee.
Ryan isn't really interested in the gig but is willing to do so for the sake of the party. The consideration of Ryan becoming the next Weeper has the junk food media talking.
The other candidates, nearly a dozen, all lack Ryan's stature and broad support and it's not clear if any of them could gather the needed backing to become speaker.
With the speculation of Ryan jumping in, conservatives are crying foul. They believe that Ryan is a "loser" and too cozy with Boehner. The outgoing Minority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) had praised Ryan for being a leader that could help move America forward.
They think he's soft on immigration and entitlement reform.
Ryan is a fiscal and social conservative.
Ryan wants a plurality of support from Republicans. He doesn't want no obstruction. He wants the Republicans to suck it up and help move the government forward.
Ryan made clear that family comes first and said he would be spending less time on the road than Boehner, who traveled nearly every weekend raising money for the party. Ryan, by contrast, has three school-age kids in Janesville, and wants to be able to continue to spend plenty of time with them.
"I genuinely worry about the consequences that my agreeing to serve will have on them. Will they experience the viciousness and incivility that we all face here on a daily basis?" Ryan said. "But my greatest worry, my greatest worry is the consequence of not stepping up, of someday having my own kids ask me, 'When the stakes were so high, why didn't you do all you could do, why didn't you stand and fight for my future?' "
Any thoughts on Ryan's potential run for the Weeper of the House?
Justin Trudeau will be sworn as the new Prime Minister of Canada.
Canada has a new leader. After a decade of conservative rule, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be heading for the door soon. Ottawa's got a new prime minister. He's the son of a legendary leader.
Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party came to town.
A young fresh face willing to turn Canada back around. The politico is the "Barack Obama" of the north. His wife is Canadian news agitator Sophie Gregoire. They have three children.
Trudeau, 43, the photogenic son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, pledged to run a C$10 billion annual budget deficit for three years to invest in infrastructure and help stimulate Canada's anemic economic growth.
This rattled financial markets in the runnup to the vote and the Canadian dollar weakened on news of his victory.
Trudeau has said he will repair Canada's cool relations with the Obama administration, withdraw Canada from the combat mission against Islamic State militants in favor of humanitarian aid and training, and tackle climate change.
Trudeau vaulted from third place to lead the polls in the final days of the campaign, overcoming Conservative attacks that he is too inexperienced to govern to return to the Prime Minister's residence in Ottawa where he grew up as a child.
"When the time for change strikes, it's lethal," former Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said in a television interview. "I ran and was successful because I wasn't Pierre Trudeau. Justin is successful because he isn't Stephen Harper."
The Conservatives were projected to become the official opposition in Parliament, with the left-leaning New Democratic Party in third.
American conservatives lose an ally. The Conservative Party and its chief Prime Minister Stephen Harper were crushed in the National Party Elections.
Liberal supporters at the party's campaign headquarters broke into cheers and whistles when television projected that Trudeau would be the next prime minister.
Top Trudeau advisor Gerald Butts tweeted "Amazing work #TeamTrudeau. Breathtaking really."
At the Conservative election headquarters in Calgary, where Harper is due to speak later, supporters sat quietly, staring at giant TV screens as the results poured in.
The Conservatives weren't the only party that appeared headed for a crushing defeat. The third place left-leaning New Democratic Party's fall was highlighted in Quebec, where it had the majority of its seats.
Radio Canada projected it would end up with just seven seats, down from 54 in the last Parliament.
The Liberals' win marks a swing toward a more multilateral approach in global politics by the Canadian government, which has distanced itself from the United Nations in recent years.
The former teacher took charge of the party just two years ago and guided it out of the political wilderness with a pledge of economic stimulus and stirring appeals for a return to social liberalism.
The United States and Canada are strong allies.
Born to a sitting prime minister who came to power in 1968 on a wave of popular support dubbed "Trudeaumania," Trudeau will become the second-youngest prime minister in Canadian history and brings an appeal more common in movie stars than statesmen.
Pierre once jumped from a trampoline into the crowd. With boyish good looks, Justin thrusts himself into throngs and puts his hand to his heart when listening to someone.
Say hi to the world's most beautiful couple. Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire.
Selfie requests are so common he happily takes the camera and snaps the photo himself, often cheek to cheek. He is the married father of three young children.
Criticized for being more style than substance, Trudeau has used attacks on his good looks and privileged upbringing to win over voters, who recalled his father's rock-star presence and an era when Canada had some sizzle on the world stage.
Pierre Trudeau, who died in 2000, was in power for 15 years - with a brief interruption - and remains one of the few Canadian leaders to be known abroad.
Single when he took power, the elder Trudeau dated movie stars and models before marrying. He had three boys while prime minister, the eldest of whom now succeeds him in the nation's top office.
Financial market players had praised the Conservative government for its steady hand in economic management, which had spared Canada the worst of the global financial malaise. Trudeau has also promised to raise taxes on high-income Canadians and reduce them for the middle class.
Political pundits have already began to speculate on the makeup of a Trudeau government while pondering what caused the downfall of Harper, 56, who has been criticized for his aloof personality but won credit for economic management in a decade of global fiscal uncertainty.
Jim Webb is out. He is considering a run as an independent. He can't cut it as a Democratic candidate.
The former Virginia senator will bow out today. Jim Webb is totally disgruntled with the Democratic Party. He believes that the junk food media failed to give him, Martin O'Malley and Lincoln Chafee an opportunity to shine.
Like your disastrous debate performance wasn't a factor?
Now he's going to make his announcement to drop out. He is considering a run as a "NO LABELS" independent.
He cites his dismal poll numbers as well as the Democrats pulling to the left as a reason for dropping out. He figures that if people start to notice him as an independent, he may have a shot.
Webb is not planning to announce an independent bid on today. Webb is "expected to take some time after his announcement to talk with people from across the political spectrum before making a decision."
Webb has struggled to raise cash against his Democratic opponents and has reported taking in just under $697,000 in his recent filing statement with less than $317,000 on hand — less than Harvard law professor Larry Lessig, who did not qualify for last week's debate in Las Vegas, an event where Webb felt he did not get enough time to speak. In the same period, Hillary Clinton raised nearly $30 million with $25.7 million on hand.
Yawn.
Will Joe Biden jump in this race or not?
The junk food media is obsessed with Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Ben Carson and Bernie Sanders. Each of these candidate got a majority of the attention. The rest of them are struggling for at least some recognition.
While Republicans are seeking opportunities to destroy Hillary Clinton, the Democrats are watching the infighting of Republicans come to the surface.
It's looking like a two-man race. Donald Trump and Ben Carson will be assisted with Secret Service detail soon. The rest of the candidates are blips on the radar. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz are still in this. The rest of them are barely charting.
Republican National Party chairman Reince Priebus is getting frustrated with infighting and the insurgents destroying the party's platform.
But wait, don't the Democrats have their problems too?
Yup.
It's out in the open that Democratic National Party chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) is feuding with her co-chair Rep. Tulisi Gabbard (D-HI) over the direction of the party.
Some nobody wrote a book highly critical of Black women. The writer assuming its a pen name wrote this book called "I Hate Black Women".
Now there's a backlash against the writer and the companies that promote this.
The writer T.C. Writer (ahem) wrote this provocative, controversial and certainly much talked about book. This Writer person is an American author who writes about the elephant in the room that everyone pretends is not there. "The goal is to ruffle a few bird feathers because angry people seek change, and complacent people don't."
T.C. Writer claims that she rapidly learned that your work will never please everyone. Balancing daily hate mail with messages from those hailing her as a maverick who isn't scared to speak the truth, Writer is on a lifelong mission to help fellow African American women better themselves. But her tools are not conventional, including 'I Hate Black Women', Writer's latest book. Firm in her belief that the African American audience respond better to hate than love, Writer's provocative manifesto untangles how black women often make life difficult for themselves, fostering a culture and reputation that ultimately finds them discriminated on by the rest of society.
This Writer said that Black women need to dial back their attitudes and fall in line with the system.
Basically this writer claims that the Black woman must act right in the presence of the Black man and White people.
Yeah, Black women are discriminated against. Ask Raven Symone, she said she wouldn't hire any women with a Black sounding name.
Raven-Symone is an example of Black women who attack their own.
Hear the nonsense from that annoying conservative agitator. The worst cable news host to ever have a program constantly says that First Lady Michelle Obama is a downright mean person. When she said that "for the first time" she was proud of her country, that annoying conservative agitator says that Mrs. Obama is "an angry Black woman".
Matter of fact, even that old fart Limbaugh said that "Moo Chelle" is the type of women Alex Rodriguez refuse to date.
How about when the Madame Tussauds decided to reveal the Nicki Minaj figure. They designed the wax figure to a likeness of her Anaconda music video. The famous pose by the entertainer was being vandalized by horny jerks and sexual perverts.
In her mind, the Black woman are destructive to America.
She calls upon the American people to address this. If we refuse to address it, we're going to be considered complacent.
Well I guess I am complacent. I am not down with this garbage. I am not going to allow this hateful book spread the seeds of distrust, division and diversion about Black women.
Here's what you're going to hear from concern trolls. Did you read the book?
Many in the Black community are very reactionary. We are willing to take action against something without reading it. Before I sign off the Change.org petition to have it removed from Amazon's website, I want to know what I'm dealing with.
Of course, the difficult job of looking for this book will be the challenge.
Donald Trump has pissed off the establishment. The Republicans believe that Trump went out of line when he went after George W. Bush.
Trump basically said that 9/11 happened under Bush's watch. Gasp, he stepped on the third rail. Now he's facing a backlash from his brother, contender Jeb Bush.
Bush slammed Trump for being a publicity hound. Jeb is stern on this belief that his brother "kept us safe". Jeb is now raising money off the Trump comments. He hopes to show Republicans that Trump is a buffoon who can't lead the nation in the wake of a tragedy.
Republicans will never admit blame for their fuck ups. September 11, 2001 and August 29, 2005 were some of the country's worst disasters on American soil. The attacks and Hurricane Katrina were under Bush's watch. These disasters among the two wars, the economic collapse that led to a recession, and inept leadership in Washington got Republicans kicked out of Congress. It led to Barack Obama winning the White House.
They can't catch a break.
And ever since Barack Obama became the president, Republicans claim the country is "less safe" under his leadership.
When it comes to the blame game. Who's gets the blame the worst attack in American history?
Don't you know that it's Bill Clinton's fault?
He deserves the blame. He allowed al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden escape Sudan. This is what that annoying conservative agitator's balking about. He even has a video saying that Clinton admits he was the one who let bin Laden escape.
Nevermind Richard Clarke's warning being ignored by Bush, Dick Cheney, then FBI chief Robert Muller and then National Security Adviser Condolezza Rice.
Nevermind that Clinton took consideration with al Qaeda after the first attack on the World Trade Center. He vowed to track these extremists down. The embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania were a reminder of al Qaeda's presence. The USS Cole bombing happened in 2000. Clinton wanted to take them down. But according to the Republicans, that was the dog chasing the tail.
Seven times so far and yet nothing incriminating. Republicans spent over $5 million on these hearings.
Republicans were more focused on impeaching him over his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
In 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed in a raid. When the nation heard the news of his untimely demise, Republicans were quick to congratulate George W. Bush. They slammed President Barack Obama for "dancing in the end zone".
The Republicans and that network were demonizing Bill and Hillary until they got out of the White House. Barack and Michelle final years in the White House are being demonized by the network.
Everything and anything is being criticized by these profit rage hypocrites.
Here's the flash poll.
Which president deserves the blame for 9/11?
Now the network that devoted to blaming the Benghazi attacks solely on Hillary Clinton is now trying to rewrite history. According to the conservative agitators in the junk food media, they claim that Clinton gave a stand down order during the September 11, 2012 tragedy.
Hillary Clinton will appear at a House Select Committee this week to testify to why she used her personal server instead of a government server. Many in the junk food media have now dismissed the Republican-led committee as a partisan witch hunt.
The cat came out the bag when Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) went on that annoying conservative agitator's program to declare that the committee was devoted to destroying Hillary's bid for the White House.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is dismissing the notion the debate is partisan. He went to the junk food media to tell the public that he demanded those not involved in this committee hearing to "shut up".
Trump is still the front runner. Even though the junk food media is getting tired of him and Ben Carson, the media loves this stuff.
Jeb Bush is trying to save his struggling campaign. That network and House Republicans are trying muddy up Hillary Clinton's presidential run for partisan gains.
Andy Parker, the father of murdered TV reporter Alison Parker is now a victim's rights advocate.
A few months ago, a terrorist murdered Alison and Adam Ward on live television. The terrorist was a disgruntled news reporter who blamed society for his social ills. He said in his manifesto that he wanted to be recognized for his criminal acts. He wanted the world to know that he's gotten tired of being pushed around by the system.
Ever since that incident, we had another mass shooting. Andy Parker was there in Roseberg, Oregon.
He was actively pressuring lawmakers to pass reasonable gun control. His campaign to fight gun violence has garner attention. His activism is being criticized by conservatives who believe he's exploiting his daughter's death for political activism. They believe that any laws passed would result in more gun crime. In their warped minds, President Barack Obama is determined to take away guns.
And regardless of what is said by the president, the agitators will find some reason to blame him for "politicizing" tragedies.
Andy has teamed up with the families of Sandy Hook and Aurora to pressure Congress to change course on guns.
One of the Aurora shooting victims, Jessica Ghawi was a sports reporter. Jessica was killed by a deranged terrorist. The terrorist killed 12 people inside a movie theater during a premiere of the sequel to Batman, The Dark Knight Rises. Jessica was a survivor of the 2011 Toronto mall mass shooting.
Jessica's family tried to sue the ammo and gun manufacturers in court and lost. Lonnie and Sandy Phillips wanted to sue Lucky Gunner, the company that provided the terrorist with his ammunition.
Boy with a revolver
The Republican appointed judge said that the family can't sue on political activism. The family is now ordered to pay up $250,000 in court cost. The Supreme Court granted immunity to the gun manufacturing.
Gun crime is the number one threat in the United States. It's been over a few weeks since the Umpqua Community College shooting. Now the junk food media passed on Umpqua, we hear about more and more gun crimes.
We hear about children getting a hold of firearms and accidentally shooting a family member. This is becoming a horrible trend.
In Chicago, a father is facing time in the iron college for second degree murder. He left his firearm in an area where his children could find it. When one his children got pass the trigger lock, he shot his brother in the chest.
Michael Santiago is being charged for not only second degree murder, but reckless endangerment.
Dad faces criminal charges for involuntary manslaughter.
The loaded gun had been wrapped in a pair of pajama pants and stashed on top of the refrigerator, Chicago police said.
Santiago was at work at the time, and the boys' mother was at the store. Their grandfather Israel LaSalle, who lives upstairs from the family, was watching the boys and had sent them downstairs to their apartment to get something with which to clean up after the dog, according to CNN affiliate WLS-TV.
"I heard a pop, you know, like somebody had shot, so I opened the door and I look out and he was running up the stairs and he told me somebody shot his brother," LaSalle told WLS.
The 3-year-old died at a hospital.
Santiago is a former gang member who illegally purchased the gun, police told CNN on Monday. He is being held in lieu of $75,000 get out free card. He was originally given the $1 million get out free card.
The boy and his brother's names are withheld.
Gun control advocates argue research shows children often know where weapons are hidden and say weak state laws offer too little deterrent to careless storage of guns. The National Rifle Association has argued that mandatory storage laws are unnecessary.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of those killed in senseless gun violence.
