California high school doing damage control after a teen saw her photo with "ISIS" labeled on it.
A young teen in a California was humiliated by her high school after her yearbook labeled her "ISIS".
She was identified as "Isis Phillips" in the Los Osos High School yearbook. She isn't buying the excuse of the misprint. She's thinking it's a deliberate attempted at attack her for being a Muslim.
"I am extremely saddened, disgusted, hurt, and embarrassed that the Los Osos High School yearbook was able to get away with this," Bayan Zehlif writes in a Facebook post. "Apparently I am 'Isis' in the yearbook. The school reached out to me and had the audacity to say that this was a typo. I beg to differ, let's be real."
The school district superintendent tells the Los Angeles Times that there is another student named Isis at the school, and that both families have been contacted. An investigation is underway. "If they find that a student acted irresponsibly and intentionally, [the] administration will take appropriate actions," he says.
Bayan Zehlif.
Zehlif and her family have spoken to the LA office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, per NBC Los Angeles. In a statement, CAIR says it's concerned "about a possible bias motive," adding "no student should have to face the humiliation of being associated with a group as reprehensible as ISIS." On Friday, per the Times, the school handed out 287 of the yearbooks to seniors.
No more yearbooks will be distributed until the error is corrected, and students who got a copy have been asked to return it. "We should have checked each name carefully in the book and we had no intention to create this misunderstanding," the yearbook staff tweeted. "It is our fault and this is absolutely inexcusable on our part."
Is this "Making America Great Again"?
A young woman being called ISIS because she's a Muslim. If Donald Trump had his way, he would tell her to stop whining, it's the freedom of speech.
World News Today hope the best for Bayan Zehlif. We hope she can overcome the bigotry and ignorance plaguing her school and the election.
Facebook faces a slew of conservative outrage over its viral content.
Conservatives are totally pissed that the world's largest social media website decided to play politics in the trending section. Many stories that favor conservatives aren't trending and an ex-Facebook worker is "exposing" the shadiness of the social media.
Of course, these are the very same conservatives who want to the private sector to thrive. Well the last time I've checked, Facebook is a private company.
Gizmodo, the technology news agitator broke the news and conservatives are none too happy that Mark Zuckerberg isn't being "friends" with them.
According to the ex-worker, Facebook would routinely suppress news stories of interest of conservative readers from the social network's "trending" news section.
Stories about the CPAC gathering, perennial loser Mitt Romney, Rand Paul and other conservative topics weren't trending. It had to passed around by the site's users.
Conservatives are now crying that Facebook has liberal bias.
Facebook denies any political bias.
Topics that conservative constantly bring up are: Benghazi, Clinton in jail, Lois Lerner (former IRS official), Obamacare, radical Islam, Obama's not American, Obama's a Muslim, Ted Cruz, and Chris Kyle. They were shoved aside.
Given how social media has helped Barack Obama become the president, conservatives have long whined that the media is against them. It helps them win votes.
Regardless, Facebook can do whatever it wants. It's not in the business of pandering to hateful rhetoric from the likes of Breitbart News or The Drudge Report. It doesn't need to read racial slurs or groups devoted to hating on someone's race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political, economic and social standings. It's not in the business of allowing trolls dictate content.
Conservatives are blowing steam. Because if they really wanted to end their Facebook accounts, they wouldn't even touch Freedombook, formerly known as Reaganbook: The Facebook for Patriots.
Donald Trump is well on his way to capture the Republican nomination. The threats of a contested convention are over but the problems still exist within the party. The controversial billionaire managed to defeat the establishment. The last candidates to pull out were John Kasich and Ted Cruz. They both went down in defeat. They were upset that Trump's rhetoric doomed their opportunities to win the nomination.
Donald Trump is feuding with Paul Ryan, the Speaker of The House. The Wisconsin Republican congressman messed with the honey. Mama Grizzly is threatening to usurp the first term speaker.
Hillary Clinton is all but wrapped this up. There's just one problem. Bernie Sanders is still in the race and he's trying to cause chaos in Philadelphia.
Sanders is willing to take this to a contested convention. He has to win over 85% of the delegates in order to the become the Democratic nominee, but it hasn't stop him or his supporters. Sanders is a Vermont senator who is an independent who caucuses with the Democrats. A self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, Sanders is 74-year old progressive who is winning the young voters one by one.
His supporters continue to rally around him and they're calling out the Democratic National Convention for playing dirty bull. The chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) is under fire for having the Democratic debate placed on low viewing nights and making the rules seem favorable for Clinton.
Clinton is also being trolled by the so-called Bernie Bros.
The FBI will question HIllary Clinton about her private server.
She got roused by Bernie's supporters. The supporters often infiltrate the events of Clinton and Trump to protest their nominations.
I've heard of these die-hard Bernie Sanders supporters. These supporters are often trolling websites that support Clinton and Trump. The supporters would often attack the character of those who refuse to support Sanders.
Another thing, Clinton's biggest headache is the Republicans obsession with Benghazi. The special panel hearings on Benghazi aren't over. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) continues this charade well into the second year. This is the most expensive committee. It cost $20 million in taxpayer money. It's netted no smoking gun. Yet, Republicans and conservatives are hoping for Clinton to be arrested for emails.
This trolling has gotten on the president's nerves.
President Barack Obama said at a commencement speech at Howard University, that interrupting political events of politicos that you don't agree with isn't going to help. He said that that while dissent is a part of life, it's their right to have an event without interruption.
Alabama's most infamous judge is back in the news. Roy Moore now trying to battle the will of the Supreme Court.
Bible thumping Alabama chief justice Roy Moore back on the sidelines after a federal judge stripped him of his gavel. Moore was suspended after the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission filed ethics charges against him. Moore will now be tried by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary, and could be removed from the bench if found guilty.
The controversial judge who gained fame in 2004 after his refusal to remove the Ten Commandments from the state capitol is now faced another battle he's losing.
Last year the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is legal in the United States. Conservatives have seen their grip on the country unravel before their eyes. The conservatives are so fed up with the direction of the country, they are on the verge of nominating Donald Trump, an emboldment of all the rage they've had against the changing society they "want back".
He will not support marriage. He refuses to acknowledge legal battles in the state that involve same-sex couples who still are blocked from obtaining marriage licenses.
Moore, who stated last year he would "not be bound" by the Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing same-sex marriages because they change the "organic law" of God, was dismissive of the accusations against him.
The controversial justice along with Robert Bentley, the embattled governor of the state have face allegations of corruption and sexual affairs while in office.
Bentley who is caught up in a sex scandal is under federal watch for allowing his goons rough up people who wanted to blow the whistle on the governor and his tryst with a younger woman who wasn't his wife.
Moore who is defiant said that a transvestite and the merry band of secular activists will not move him. He says that he will get the support from the public and he'll be back on the bench shortly.
Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symone are considering an exit from daytime agitation program The View.
The famed entertainer and moderator of ABC's The View is considering an exit from the show.
She may not be the only leaving as well. The former Cosby kid, Raven-Symone could be on her way out too.
Mediaite reports that ABC big wigs are hoping that Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symone (Pearlman) may stick around. Contract negotiations are being worked out and they are having some ice melt throughout the cold tension building up there.
Whoopi is asking for a little more pocket change in order to stay. ABC big wigs might consider the option.
Whoopi has been the host and chief moderator of the hit daytime show. It's struggling against Julie Chen, Melissa Gilbert and Sharon Osbourne's CBS daytime show The Talk.
Whoopi along with Raven-Symone, Paula Faris, Joy Behar, and Candace Cameron-Bure have hosted the show throughout the 2015-16 season.
If Whoopi bounces from the show, who are they planning on bring onto the program. I mean it's difficult to replace a fixture that's hosted the seat since 2007. You know the 2005-07 season was one of The Views most controversial.
Former hosts Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck have often sparred on the show and it generated huge ratings. O'Donnell who engaged in a feud with Donald Trump was being trashed by Fox News.
Hasselbeck who appeared on Fox programs was defending rhetoric from that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Trump. It led a major fallout between the two and Whoopi had to come in and save the show.
Hasselbeck joined Fox News in 2012 and left late last year. ABC might consider rehiring the controversial agitator back to the seats. At least she won't be the odd woman out. Co-host Candace Cameron-Bure and guest host Melissa Joan Hart are conservative and they've often clashed with the women on issues.
Raven-Symone is a former child star who joined The View in spring 2015. She formally took on the role as pop culture agitator in the fall. She cause a bit of controversy when she defended the McKinley, Texas cop who slammed a girl on the ground. She defended the South Carolina sheriff's deputy who flipped a girl out of her seat. She said she wouldn't hire any "Black sounding" names to her companies. She said that people comparing First Lady Michelle Obama to an ape or transexual is perfect fine.
There were calls to have Raven-Symone fired out the cannon. ABC said that they're willing to keep her on if she chooses to stay.
Perennial loser Mitt Romney met with some prominent Republicans over the weekend. He is being courted to run an insurgent campaign against Donald Trump, the Republican presumptive nominee.
Romney served one term as governor of the state of Massachusetts. Romney's legacy is most forgotten. He is a failed candidate. He failed at winning the U.S. senate. He failed at capturing the Republican nomination in 2008. As the Republican nominee, he felt a landslide in the U.S. presidential election in 2012.
Agitator for hire, Bill Kristol met with Romney at a Washington hotel thinking about a third run.
Kristol is practically begging for a third party candidate to stop Trump.
Now we've heard this nonsense before.
Romney will be forever labeled a flip-flopper if he chooses to run for an independent bid.
His former running mate, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) has set of a shitstorm by saying that he's not ready to jump on the Trump bandwagon. That led to his buddy Republican honcho Reince Priebus to have a sit-down to air out differences.
A huge number of Republicans are staying away from Cleveland. Former presidents George W. and his father George H.W Bush joined failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush in opposing the Trump nomination.
Exit stage left.
They will not appear at the Republican convention. Matter of fact, Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Ben Sasse (R-NE), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are staying away as well.
The Republican Party created the mess. They were playing with the cards. They created Donald Trump. They were using the dog whistle to rile up votes. Trump is basically using the foghorn and it lead to him becoming their soon-to-be nominee.
By no means, I am not the strongest supporter of Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton. They are both are flawed. People aren't inspired by them at all.
Trump is a flawed candidate as well. He will not get things done. If he becomes our president, he will have the most inept Congress to deal with. He will deal with Ted Cruz and Rand Paul in the senate. They are going to stall everything. The Democrats are plotting as well. They are waiting for him to slip so they can use him to have Republicans defeated in the Midterms.
Trump is getting the most attention and it could lead to him becoming the 45th President of the United States.
By all means, let the Republican Party fight it out all the way to the general election. They already lost by having Trump as their nominee.
Another senseless mass shooting in the country and the junk food media covers it.
As expected, another mass shooting will grab the nation's attention. There were shootings at a Maryland mall, a grocery store and a school within a 24 hour period. The terrorist was a part of the federal witness protection unit. That means he's a federal vice officer.
President Barack Obama, Maryland governor Larry Hogan and Washington, DC mayor Muriel Bowser will be notified and express condolences to the families lost in these senseless tragedies.
Eulalio Tordil, a former federal officer cause a few days of terrorism in suburban Washington, DC.
He was placed in the freezer after allegations of spousal and child abuse surfaced. The terrorist struck up a conservation with a woman before he pulled out a semi-automatic firearm. He would shoot her a point blank range and then attack the people who came to the aid of the woman. One of the men who rushed to the aid was killed.
The first victim of this tragedy was the terrorist's wife.
There was a shooting a local high school where four people were injured by the violent acts of this terrorist.
The first victim of this mass shooting was his wife Gladys. That piece of paper drove Tordil crazy.
Gladys served him with a restraining order after she called the law on him after he assaulted her.
Montgomery County police believe that he is also behind two additional deadly shootings on Friday in Montgomery County. One man died and two other victims were treated after a shooting at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, and a woman was killed at a Giant grocery store in Aspen Hill.
In Thursday’s incident, a bystander, another parent who tried to intervene, was also shot, but he is expected to survive, the Prince George’s County Police Department said in a press release. His name was not released.
Thursday’s shooting happened at about 4:30 p.m. at High Point High School in Beltsville, according to police. No students were injured and it was not an active shooter situation, police said.
The terrorist worked for the feds.
Mind you this terrorist is of Asian American descent and is a federal police officer.
Cue the conservative outrage. Who are they going to blame for this situation? Since it's not a White person, automatically he's a liberal. He comes from the metro Washington, DC area, a strong Democratic area. He is a federal worker. The conservatives complain that the government is huge and the Republicans want to shrink government. He's Asian, so I am assuring that racial arsonist Colin Flaherty will waste no time trying to make the case about Black on whatever violence.
Conservatives will say that "if I was there...." or "the state laws hurt arming citizens in tragedies" excuse.
Here's a poll for you.
The mass shooting in Maryland. The suspect was caught. Who actually takes the blame in this senseless tragedy?
World News Today send our condolences to the families of the victims lost in these senseless tragedies. Unfortunately Congress refuses to pass regulations to curb gun violence. The 114th session of Congress controlled by Republicans is inept. The most unproductive Congress ever in American history is more concerned about winning the presidency and control of the upcoming 115th Congress.
Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will debate these issues and offer little to no suggestions to curb the rise in American gun violence.
The terrorist was taken in custody without incident. The terrorist will face federal charges and state charges. Federal charges could carry the GAS. State charges could land him in the iron college for LIFE. The terrorist is innocent until proven guilty.
Also noticed that he was taken in without incident. Think of the Black, Muslim or Hispanic mass shooters. They would be gunned down within a bat of an eyelash.
About 46.3 people a day are injured or killed by gun violence and no one but the victims seems to care. I mean how many more people will have to be buried?
Why is it easier to get a firearm but not a voter registration?
Why is it easier to purchase multiple firearms but you can't smoke weed in a public venue?
