We heard overnight a famed MTV star passed away. Christopher "Big Black" Boykin of the Rob & Big show passed away at the age of 45. He also helped in the formation of Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory.
TMZ reports that he had a massive heart attack.
Boykin rose to fame in 2006, getting up to ridiculous hijinks with Rob Dyrdek on their reality show.
As the body for Dyrdek, Big Black was always there helping him break world records.
Big Black leaves behind a daughter from a previous relationship.
Donald J. Trump fires FBI director James Comey out the cannon.
Donald J. Trump brutally fired FBI Director James Comey out the cannon after he misled the Senate by claiming Huma Abedin sent classified emails to former congressman Anthony Weiner.
Trump wrote: "You are hereby terminated and removed from office immediately. But Comey found out on live television says The Daily Mail.
Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein wrote a formal memo stating they have no confidence in him.
Now Democrats are saying that he's "hiding" something. The FBI is actively looking into the collusion between Trump campaign team and Russian hackers. Trump claims that Comey told him three times that he was not under investigation.
Comey was blindsided by this.
The letter sent shockwaves through Washington, DC and the FBI offices across the nation.
"The FBI is one of our nation's most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement," said Trump in a statement.
The Justice Department inspector general opened an investigation into Comey's in January. Comey had made a statement on the email probe 11 days before the election. It was cited by Hillary Clinton that the Comey letter played a part in her failed campaign.
Firing Comey out the cannon is a big deal. Now Democrats and some Republicans are calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Trump.
This was a totally stupid move!
Now the allegations of Russian meddling in the election are "front and center."
A former security guard was charged with murder in the first degree. He would murder a loving couple who were doctors.
An immigrant who worked as a security guard for an apartment complex was fired out the cannon by his employer. He would go bonkers. He would murder a British doctor and his American doctor fiance. He slit their throats and let them bleed to death when the law cornered him in their luxury apartment. He would later be shot by the law.
In the hospital bed, Bampumim Teixeira is indicted on murder charges.
This Boston couple were ambushed by this nut. Dr. Richard Field and Dr. Lina Bolanos knew the nut.
He burst into her penthouse Friday and slit their throats. Field texted his friend letting them know that there's a gunman in their house, call 911.
Teixeira would tie them up. He would slap them around and put socks in their mouths. He would grope them and then slit their throats. As the law arrived, he kept them at bay. He would let the victims die of their injuries. A few hours of holding up in their home, the SWAT got a shot in.
When they entered the home, they found their blood scattered across the wall in offensive terms.
The nut was smiling while trying to cope his hand and stomach.
Dr. Richard Field and Dr. Lina Bolanos were murdered by the security guard.
The nut was shot in the hand and stomach. He was transported to the local hospital. He was injured but survived. A judge and county boy were there to deliver an indictment charge that could put his ass in the iron college for LIFE. If he does get an out, he will automatically be deported to his Guinea-Bissau, a West African country. The nut is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The suspect is Black, the victims are White (and White Hispanic). The suspect is an immigrant. The suspect has a funny name. Catnip for conservatives and White extremists. This is there "I told you so" moment.
These assclowns would justify isolated incidents as proof that Donald J. Trump's ban on Muslims, immigrants and proposals on "law and order" are working.
Teen's slam dunk on an elderly woman got him a juvie court date.
The Broward County boys caught the person who was filmed tossing an elderly woman into a pool.
The 16-year old individual who is named Leon Balfour will be charged with misdemeanor assault and battery. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He will be charged in juvie!
The victim identified as Nancy James was walking her two dogs when she decided to confront a loud pool party. She asked the teens to turn down the music. The teens were not interested in the concerns.
Someone shouted "throw her in!"
Expect death threats Leon Balfour, Jr..
Balfour complies and grabs her by the threshold and slips. They both come tumbling down. He quickly gets up and tosses her into the pool. The person who filmed it runs off laughing.
The video went viral and it attracted the attention of the law.
The victim has bruises on her leg and shoulder. Her dogs escaped. But the law found the dogs and she was reunited with them.
The teen admits that "I messed up and I have to own up to it!"
Nancy James tells the junk food media that the teen's actions were disgusting.
James still shaken from the event said that "No one should ever, ever, ever, ever have to go through that, you know? It just shouldn't happened. The kid has not evolved yet into what you're supposed to be as a human being."
Not all of the teens were cold and heartless. Most of the teens knew who the individual was. They told the police and help the woman find her dogs.
"Thank God, nice kids that live here, they helped me," said James. "They went and they found my dogs for me. The kids that live here are wonderful kids."
Nothing racial in the video.
But for conservatives and White extremists, everything is racial. And they will exploit this and many others.
In suburban Washington, DC, a woman at a Trader Joe's was being a total.....yeah you know!
A video that went viral on social media shows this woman insulting a Muslim shopper. This was in Reston, Virginia and the encounter was posted on a comedian's social media page.
Comedian Jeremy McLellan posted the video on social media.
The woman who was a Muslim let her get ahead of her in line. I guess a good deed does go punished.
The woman said some pretty condescending things after she got ahead in line.
"I wish they didn't let you in the country," she bemoaned. The other woman was completely shocked about this. "Excuse me? I was born here." the other woman responds.
The woman went to insult Barack Obama.
"Obama's not in office anymore. We don't have a Muslim in there anymore," she concluded by saying that the former president could be in federal time out.
The unidentified shopper is seen wearing black loafers and jeans, and when the video begins, she says, "So you play dumb, and then you say everybody's --- okay. I got it."
Then there's a pause. The woman who recorded said that "I shouldn't have let you in front of me."
"I wish they didn't let you in the country," said the woman.
The other woman gasped. And she said "Excuse me? I was born here."
After a long pause, the woman says, "Obama's not in office anymore. We don't have a Muslim in there anymore."
"Yeah, I wish he was," said the other woman.
"He's gone. He's gone," the woman says, smiling. "He may be in jail, too, in the future," she adds as she glances briefly at the camera.
"You look a little crazy. Maybe you need to get some help," said the other woman.
"Oh, I'm fine," the woman said.
"No you're not," the other woman counters. "Because you don't just strike up a conversation with people in line talking about stuff like that if you're normal."
The woman laughs and says, "I'm very normal."
"Yeah, looks like it. I can tell," said the other woman.
"What set you off? Obama?" the woman said, opening her purse before the video stops.
I bet you money, once the junk food media outs this woman, she could be fired out the cannon from her job.
Already the woman in the video came forth. She said that her statements were "taken out of context."
Mind you that the comedian got a hold of the video after he was told his friend was in tears. He said that the woman started it by mentioning this nonsense about female genital mutilation.
What right minded person would bring up conversations about female genital mutilation?
I am amazed that people continue to support a leader who continues to break promises everyday!
When Donald J. Trump said that "We Don't Win," I believe him. I believe we don't win when people sit on the sidelines. I believe that when you don't vote, you forfeit opportunities to elect leaders who help communities grow. I believe that if you're engaging in combat, you're expected to either kill or be killed. There's no winning in war. In war, there's only a whole lot of dead bodies.
Trump may announce that 3,000 or more troops will be engaged in combat in Afghanistan. The war in Afghanistan has been on going since 2001. Since former president George W. Bush declared a "war on terrorism," this war continues to be a burden on our military.
In the endless fight to topple the Taliban, Trump has to consider what he may do to stop them.
Dropping bombs and airstrikes are considered controversial. Human rights groups are concern that a misfires killed thousands of innocent beings. The junk food media ignores the causalities of a missile strike.
There's 13,000 NATO troops along with 8,400 bring American.
Then president Barack Obama ended operations against the Taliban in 2014. Special ground troops continue to provide training and aid to Afghani troops. Obama gave up on the war because he believe that putting 100,000 troops in harms way isn't necessary.
They got time.
Of course, the "pseudo-patriotic" conservatives will praise Trump's decision to engage in conflict with the Taliban. The Taliban is far-right political group associated to terrorism.
Yeah, the Taliban is considered a foreign designated terrorist group. But the Taliban has been fighting on their own land (and parts of rugged Pakistan). Afghans have the military means to defeat them.
Hell, we've provided both sides all the firepower.
The Taliban was disposed in 2003. The group who claimed solidarity towards al Qaeda. The Islamic State and other groups associated in Afghanistan believe that America's relentless need to be "heroic" is bankrupting the United States. They are extremely patient and willing to see America collapse on its own weight.
Trump will make his first foreign engagement in the coming weeks. He will head to Brussels to address NATO and meet with European Union leaders.
Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates is to testify to Congress today. She will address the "elephant in the room." The controversy about Donald J. Trump having Russian influence in the 2016 U.S. election. Yates will say that she warned then president Barack Obama and Trump that Mike Flynn was disclosing information to the Russians. Flynn is facing a federal watch for taking money from Russia.
Eric Trump told a sports writer that the Trump Foundation got all the money they needed from Russia. That quickly got the junk food media's attention. Trump was talking to James Dodson about how the Trump golf courses were being funded by Russian investors. In 2014, according to Dodson, the family received "all the funding we need out of Russia." Trump was quick to denounce the claims. His brother Donald, Jr. said in 2008 that the family business "sees a lot of money pouring in from Russia."
Ohio governor John Kasich is slamming the American Health Care Act. He says that Trumpcare is inadequate. The failed 2016 presidnetial candidate said that many Ohioans could lose their Medicaid under this bill. He said that the Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) expansion of funding to high risk pools is a mere drop in the bucket. "$8 billion is not enough to fund --- it's ridiculous. And the fact is, states will not opt for that."
Sinclair Broadcasting Group is interested in buying Tribune Media. The conservative leaning TV station from Baltimore has its eyes on the Chicago newspaper and television group. The biggest owner of local TV station has a plug of $4.5 billion. The merger could make SBG a dominate force in the junk food media. It also could be more beneficial for Trump. The SBG media is truly a conservative organization. 21st Century Fox was interested in the buy. They have the disgraced Sheryl Attkisson on their programming lineup. Sinclair is interesting in competing with Fox News. With Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes gone from Fox News, Sinclair might find some interest in trying to pick them up. Sean "Softball" Hannity often gives plugs to Sara Carter and John Solomon of Circa News (an affiliate of SBG). When SBG launches a cable channel, maybe the softball might find an exit.
Colin Kaepernick is a free agent without a team. He was dropped from the San Francisco 49ers earlier this year. He made the news last year when he was not standing for the National Anthem. He made social activism a theme. He was donating a portion of his earnings to charity groups. He also is promoting the "I know my rights" campaign in regards to police abuse. Kaepernick was in Chicago doing a "stop the violence" fundraiser. Of course, conservative don't seem to care about Black athletes doing actual charity work. Kaepernick is sticking to his word. He said it best, "It's bigger than football!"
Texas governor Greg Abbott signed off a state law that could strip state funding from those so-called sanctuary cities in the state. He did it on social media and didn't notify the junk food media about this signing. The Republican signed off the law last night and it will certainly be challenged in federal court. The law will begin in September. He went on Fox News to brag about it. That's the only junk food media outlet this asshole went to. Abbott is disabled and uses a wheelchair to get around. He is running for reelection in 2018. This law will now force city and county leaders to become federal agents. It will now punish cities, city officials and police chiefs. It will strip funds from city governments that decide to be "welcoming" to immigrants who aren't documented.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) went to GOP Sundays to explain the AHCA (Trumpcare). He was having trouble trying to get a talking point together. He was on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Ryan was complaining about the left trying to sabotage a great deal. He couldn't explain why he supports a state's decision to opt out of Medicaid expansion. Ryan also defended his tax break for high earners. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) are cautious about the bill. They said both on GOP Sundays that the Senate will rework some of the mandates and make sure that this "repeal and replace" bill will benefit every American.
Former President Barack Obama is the coolest ever. He was in Boston accepting the Courage Award. Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama accepted the Profiles in Courage award at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library to a very warm audience. Obama did dodge the Trump name but acknowledge that he is "pleased" that activism is in full swing. He calls upon members of Congress to improve the law instead of dismantling it. Since leaving office, Obama has become more popular than his successor.
France elected a new leader. The moderate Emmanuel Macron is the youngest leader to hold office in the Republic of France. Macron beats Trump-endorsed Marine Le Pen, a far-right nationalist who wanted to channel the anger of immigration and Islamophobia. She was hoping that Russian and American influence could help her secure a win. In the last days of the election, there was a massive email dump on Wikileaks. It was a big hack into the personal emails of Macron's staffers. He was shaken by this but managed to outwit the hackers, the White extremists and Trump. He brutally defeated Le Pen. Macron calls for investigations into the hacking. Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton congratulated him and took a swing at the junk food media (i.e. Fox News and CNN) for pushing the emails. She said in a social media posting, "Victory for Macron, for France, the EU (European Union), and the World." Clinton also slammed the junk food media for complaining about her concerns. The hashtag Fox News in France started trending. Many post that if France had a Fox News Channel, Macron would have lost. Fox News spent most of the 2016 presidnetial election dogging Obama and Clinton over those goddamn emails.
And lastly, Bill Maher slams Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for being "purists." The two progressive senators were concerned about the speaking fees Obama and Clinton were taking in. Having that both are out of office and no longer comment on policies (to an extant), Maher blasted the two for worrying about them instead of Trump and his policies. Trevor Noah also made it clear in two words (Fuck YOU) to progressives angered by Obama's speaking fees. Noah said it on The Daily Show, why does the Black guy got to hold a standard for everyone!
