Charles Krauthammer announced he is immediately retiring from writing. He said that he has terminal cancer and it will cost him his life.
"This is the final verdict. My fight is over. I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation's destiny."
Washington Post and Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer announced that he is retiring from columns. He said that he only have a few weeks left in his life. He announced he has terminal cancer and he will eventually pass away. He also wrote for The New Republic, Time Magazine and Inside Washington. He was considered the gold standard of conservative politics.
The famed conservative columnist is best known for strive through adversity. He was born in New York City by an Ukrainian father and Belgium mother. His family moved to Montreal, Quebec and Krauthammer would take classes on arts, economics, politics and was an avid swimmer. He is a certified psychologist.
He injured himself after taking dive into a pool. He was paralyzed from the neck down.
He never allowed his disability stop him from being an accomplished writer.
Krauthammer isn't a blowhard like fellow noisemakers Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin. He was an honorable person. He would argue without the name calling and hateful rhetoric.
He was a hawkish on foreign policy and staunch defender of Israel. He was a supporter of embryonic stem research, marijuana and opposed the death penalty.
Krauthammer was a strong supporter of Bush's war in Iraq. He regrets it now knowing that the way this went down was wrong. He was a neoconservative on many issues. He even coined the phrase, the "Reagan Doctrine."
The doctrine was Ronald Reagan's aggressive push to counter the Soviet Union.
Krauthammer was a critic of Barack Obama. He called himself the "central conservative voice" against a newly elected Obama administration. Krauthammer served as "a coherent, sophisticated and implacable critic of the new president."
He respected the Obama legacy more now. Donald J. Trump, our commander of cheese is destroying the United States and its reputation in the world. He has done far more damage in his short term as our inept leader.
Trump angered many conservatives with the rhetoric. Krauthammer, George Will, Erick Erickson and Glenn Beck never supported Trump. They claimed that Trump will damage Republicans and conservatism.
Upon news of his demise, many from the left and right offered their usual phony thoughts and prayers.
Krauthammer is married to his wife Robyn and they have a son named Daniel.
Death hits twice. Kate Spade passed away on Tuesday and Anthony Bourdain passed away today.
Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain both passed away this week. Two well-known celebrities this month alone. The famed designer passed away on Tuesday she leaves behind a husband and daughter. We heard that the CNN host was stressed after a taping. It was alleged he died after heartbreak.
Their deaths have touched so many in the entertainment industry.
Spade who was a fashion designer and socialite was depressed over a biter divorce with her husband Andy. She left a suicide note and told the world's that her pain will be impacted on their daughter.
Spade was inspired by Robin Williams. The beloved comedian hung himself in 2014 after CBS cancelled his sitcom, The Crazy Ones.
CNN confirms that the famed author, traveler and chef passed away.
Bourdain passed away in France. It could have been sparked by a biter break up with his girlfriend Asia Argento. Bourdain was probably distraught over her being in a relationship with another man. He leaves behind an 11-year old daughter.
Outpouring of condolences from celebrities and politicians alike.
It it also spotlights suicide. It's on the rise. About every state, U.S. territory and even in Canada have seen a high rate these last past years.
Donald J. Trump is a polarizing figure and he has constantly driven people mad.

Kanye West and Kid Cudi release long awaited collaboration album.
Kid Cudi and Kanye West collaboration album is out. Fresh off the Ye come another album from America's most controversial rapper.
West is celebrating his release as well as Pusha T's successful DAYTONA album release. Not to mention the brutal diss on kingmaker Drake.
West also got to give props to his wife, Kim Kardashian who managed to get our commander of cheese to pardon a woman of color who got railroaded in a drug case.
Kid Cudi and Kanye West with manga artist Takashi Murakami.
Kids See Ghost is going to be another Yeezy masterpiece. Too bad I am not buying or downloading it. I don't want nothing to do with the celebrity agitator or his album.
Since he came out for Donald J. Trump, I lost my respect for him. However, I will leave it up to the good readers of World News Today to hear the album on Spotify.
Roseanne Barr is a sad excuse. She just about lost everything she had.
Some close to the washed up entertainer believe that she could harm herself.
This week saw the demise of America's domestic goddess. Her show was not only cancelled on ABC but all her old reruns are pulled from syndication.
She may loose her paycheck after this. Even our commander of cheese knows that there's no chance to save a career that's ruined by scandal. Donald J. Trump was promoting Roseanne after the show pulled 18.5 million viewers. It did not pull me. I didn't watch the shit and I am glad.
Roseanne Barr has retreated to Utah to stay with her mom. She is depressed and some fear she might go out with a clothing sheet over a bar.
No I don't wish no ill on her.
However, she has self inflicted herself with that racist tweet comparing Valerie Jarrett, a former senior advisor to Barack Obama to an ape.
She lost the support of co-star Sara Gilbert. She took the cancellation of the show with strive. She was extremely disappointed with Barr. She addressed the cancellation on The Talk.
She and Whitney Cummings were the executive producers of the show. Cummings left after she complained about Barr's off screen antics. Wanda Sykes was a consultant and co-star of the show. She quit immediately after the comments went viral.
Now without a friend in her corner, Barr has now sheltered in with her boyfriend and mom.
Barr blamed Ambien for her late night tweets. We ain't buying it.
Just in case, you supporters of commander and cheese start calling me out on not condemning Joy Reid and Samantha Bee. I want you to know, they were fucking idiots too. But in no way, Reid or Bee are racist, sexist, homophobic anti-Semitic or Islamophobic. They are not Laura Ingraham or that old fart Rush Limbaugh.
MSNBC doesn't see Reid's blog as a big issue. She wasn't attacking LGBTQ in my opinion. She was attacking Trump, Kellyanne Conway and many Republicans who shared modern day hypocrisy. Reid will address the Tennessee hardware store that said, "No Gays Allowed" on AM Joy. Yeah, she wasn't hacked. But the timed leaks from right wing sources is a sign of Roger Stone and Sean "Softball" Hannity dirty work.
Bee on the other hand did publicly apologized on Full Frontal. She said that Trump's daughter was feckless cunt *although bleeped* in regards to immigration reform and children. Ivanka Trump is socially progressive and many are disappointed in her allowing her dad to push draconian laws on the country. Bee was calling the Trump family out for not having compassion towards splitting up families.
Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Magoo said that immigrants risk losing their children if they cross the border illegally.
TBS did condemn Bee and removed the clip. She lost six sponsors from her show. Jon Stewart, co executive producer of the show claimed conservatives and Republicans were quick to condemn Bee but not the bullshit Trump and Fox News said about Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and their children.
This was in Mesa, Arizona. A man was served a portion of knuckle style chili by these bullies with badges.
The commander of cheese said that cops don't get the respect. He even joked that cops should rough up these pretty bad dudes. He called gang members from MS13 a bunch of animals. He wants NFL players to respect the national anthem. He said that he is responsible for the low unemployment of Black and Latino Americans. Donald J. Trump's minions said that he done more for people of color than Barack Obama.
Yet, he continues to support bad cops.
BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.
If this could have been you. A man inside a gas station in West Covina, California. Kevin Howard, Jr. The young man was inside a gas station trying to purchase a drink. Here comes two bullies with badges trying to claim he was not complying to an officer. They claimed he shoplifters from the gas station.
If you weren't a NBA star who was arrested for a parking violation.
Sterling Brown, power forward of the Milwuakee Bucks. This made the news last month. The NBA star was cited for double parking. He was ordered to surrender his rights to a search and seizure. He declined their threats. So the bullies with the badges decided to serve him a knuckle style chili and a nice Taser shock.
Brown was injured because he refused an unlawful search of his vehicle and pockets. This over a parking spot.
Or a 10 year old boy.
Michael Thomas, Jr., a boy who lives in Chicago. Mistaken for being a teen who was allegedly carrying a firearm. The boy literally wet his pants. He believed that he could either be dead or in the iron college.
Thomas was literally crying after he was told to surrender his rights to a
bully with a badge.
Or a man who was arrested for a parking violation.
Robert Johnson, a Mesa resident. Inside an apartment complex, Johnson is seen on surveillance being served a hot plate of knuckle style chili. He was knocked unconscious from the taste. The Arizona Department of Justice has confirmed that a full investigation will take place. The cops involved will likely be forced to defend their actions.
To beat an unarmed man is the epiphany of how these bullies with badges react to a person of color who demands constitutional rights.
Or maybe a young woman on a New Jersey beach.
Emily Weinman was on a beach in Wildwood, New Jersey. A cop claimed that the young woman was allegedly under the influence of alcohol. The cop claims that she would be arrested if she refused a breathalyzer test. She stood firm to not a cop intimidate her as she claimed she done nothing wrong.
The test was performed regardless and she tested negative. So the cop wanted to arrest her for having alcohol on the beach. This bully with a badge demanded she offered her name. She refused because she didn't do anything illegal. It wasn't her alcohol. So it escalates.
So he tries to arrest her and she turns away. That when he served a taste of knuckle style chili. She was upset that she was being arrested in front of her child. She did spit on the cop who tried to pin her on her neck.
Now she is facing felonies for a cop who wanted to cop a feel and threatened her with his authority.
These incidents are a watershed of the continuous problems plaguing America's police departments and people of color. It's frustrating that these individuals will face a judge in the coming days because they stood up for their rights to not be intimidated by these bad cops.
They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Mind you, I am not calling for any violence against anyone. I am just pointing out the volcano. It's going to erupt soon. Many in urban America are demanding things to change.
Donald J. Trump, Republicans and those who support the Russian backed Blue Lives Matter Movement want the status quo.
They want us to fear the badge.
No one is above the law. Cops need to be held responsible for going beyond their duties of "protect and serve."
Police and prison reform are needed. Things need to be done.
A woman was set free after the inept leader commuted her LIFE sentence. A hero's welcome once she got out. She was greeted by her family and thanked Trump for allowing this to happen.
Alice Marie Johnson was convicted of a drug charge. She was a first time, non-violent drug offender. Johnson sentence was commuted following a meeting between the inept leader and Kardashian.
Johnson served over 20 years in federal time out before she was released.
Kardashian immediately took to social media to tell her 63 million followers, she got something from the commander of cheese.

The phone call I just had with Alice will forever be one of my best memories. Telling her for the first time and hearing her screams while crying together is a moment I will never forget.

So grateful to @realDonaldTrump, Jared Kushner & to everyone who has showed compassion & contributed countless hours to this important moment for Ms. Alice Marie Johnson. Her commutation is inspirational & gives hope to so many others who are also deserving of a second chance.
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 6, 2018
I hope to continue this important work by working together with organizations who have been fighting this fight for much longer than I have and deserve the recognition.
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 6, 2018
She had a whole lot of cocaine and she was accused and later convicted of attempted possession of cocaine and money laundering.
There are 10 others who turned against her. They eventually got reduced charges or charges dropped while Johnson got the sentence.
