Teacher Of The Year Wins Democratic Primary!

Jahana Hayes, a former Teacher of The Year could become the first African American woman to win a U.S. House seat in New England.
Democratic lawmaker Rep. Elizabeth Esty (D-CT) is retiring from the House of Representatives. Her seat represents Newtown, Connecticut the community rocked by a mass shooting in December 2012. Esty is resigning from Congress after her chief of staff faced accusations of sexual harassment and used threats of violence against staffers. She ignored the concerns and even wrote a letter of recommendation for him.

She would later remove him but the scandal hurt her chances for winning and the Democrats wanted her to bounce. 

The Democrats endorsed establishment candidate Mary Glassman.

Glassman was considered a safe choice for the district. The progressives weren't having none of that. They wanted someone who could shake up Washington. 

When it came down to the primaries, the progressives sought a candidate that got the endorsement of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York Democratic congressional nominee who rocked the political scale by beating Rep. Joe Crawley (D-NY) in a surprise primary win.

Now her seat is in play and the Democrats are hopeful that Jahana Hayes could succeed. 

Hayes is a former National Teacher of the Year.

Hayes, 46, was thought to be a long-shot in the contest against Glassman, a longtime local Democratic politician in the Western Connecticut region. But she embraced her status as an underdog, melding her life story — growing up in Waterbury, she went through homelessness, a teen pregnancy and economic hardship — into her campaign.

She will face Republican Manny Santos, former mayor of Meriden, in November.

If she wins, Hayes will make history as the first black woman to win a Connecticut congressional seat as well as the first black congresswoman from New England. 

"When we started this campaign a little more than 100 days ago, we had no organization and no network," Hayes said. "People told us we had no chance and no business trying to upset the status quo. And tonight, we proved them wrong."

Hayes already has a fundraising advantage, as she had about $360,000 cash on hand by July 25. Santos, on the other hand, had less than $500 after accounting for a campaign debt.

Might As Well Call Her A B*tch!

Trump called Omarosa a dog and a low-life. Bark, bark..grrr.

He might as well call her a Bitch.....!

Donald J. Trump's tweet came after he denied claims of racism made late Monday by Manigault Newman, who has written in her new book, "Unhinged," that a tape exists of Trump's using the N-word from his days on "The Apprentice."






Donald J. Trump went to social media to call his former friend Omarosa Manigult Newman a "lowlife" and a "dog."

As Omarosa releases more taped conversations with the Trump team, the imbecile ridicules the former White House aide in terms that are considered "racist."

In the latest tapes, Omarosa said Katrina Pierson and Lynne Patton were recorded wondering how to quarrel a crisis. The allegations of the N-word tape has gotten the staff rattled.

Omarosa said that the White House and campaign team are frequently lying.

Describing a clip she provided to CBS, Manigault Newman said on CBS "This Morning" that the call contradicted denials recently issued by former Trump campaign spokesperson Katrina Pierson and former campaign aide Lynne Patton, who in their most recent statements disputed Manigault Newman's previous descriptions of the call.

In the audio, Pierson can be heard saying she wanted more info on how the word might have been used so they could "maybe try to figure a way to spin it."

Patton then recalled how she personally asked the president about the existence of the audio and said Trump denied it, though Patton added that Trump still asked, "Why don't you just go ahead and put it to bed?"

Soon after in the conversation, Pierson can be heard saying, "He said it [nigger]. No, he said it. He's embarrassed."

But no officials on the call, including Manigault Newman, say they have personally heard the audio of the alleged tape.

Both Patton and Pierson Tuesday issued a joint statement in response to the audio release, arguing it does not contradict their previous denials.

Trump is...............well you know!

Omarosa Recorded Her Cannon Firing!

How many tapes does Omarosa Manigult Newman have? When will the infamous N-word tape be released?
The feud between reality stars is being played out in real time. As a former reality television star turned White House advisor recounts her days working, the Trump team is firing back.

Republicans are calling for a federal indictment of the reality star for exposing a weakness.

Inside the Situation Room, Omarosa Manigult Newman recorded conversations between Donald J. Trump and his staff. She called it a motivation tool to prove to America that Trump and his allies are full of shit.

We knew that. We don't need a tape to prove that Omarosa.

Trump called his former friend....



He even resorted to calling the former Apprentice contestant a "low-life."

Manigult Newman went on GOP Sundays to discuss the experience, her credibility, and the secret tapes. NBC obtained the tapes and have released two of them.

One involves Chief of Staff John Kelly talking directly to her about how the White House is severing ties with her. As Omarosa asked to speak to Trump, Kelly shot it down and said that "he controls the business in the White House."

Another audio says that Trump was unaware that she was fired.

The tape, which was played exclusively Monday on the "Today" show and drew a harsh attack from Trump on Manigault Newman just hours later, appears to show the president having no idea that she had been dismissed by his chief of staff, John Kelly.

"Omarosa? Omarosa what's going on? I just saw on the news that you're thinking about leaving? What happened?" Trump is heard saying on the tape, which Manigault Newman said was made when the president call her one day after her termination in December last year.

She responds, "General Kelly came to me and said that you guys wanted me to leave."

"Nobody even told me about it," Trump replies.

Manigault Newman then says, "Wow," before Trump reiterates his shock.

"You know they run a big operation, but I didn't know it,” Trump is heard saying on the tape. "I didn't know that. Goddamn it. I don't love you leaving at all."

NBC News does not know what was said before or after that exchange.

Manigault Newman, in an interview later Monday on MSNBC's "Velshi & Ruhle," said she "absolutely" had more tapes in her possession but hadn't decided yet whether she would release them publicly.

Trump, for his part, responded to her latest claims in a trio of tweets Monday morning ripping her as "wacky" and "vicious but not smart" and saying "people in the White House hated her."

He called her "nasty," claimed she constantly missed work and said Kelly had told him she was a "loser" and "nothing but problems."

"She never made it, never will," he said.

Trump also said, "While I know it's 'not presidential' to take on a lowlife like Omarosa, and while I would rather not be doing so, this is a modern day form of communication."

Manigault Newman, responding to Trump's tweets, said on "Velshi & Ruhle" that it was "sad, with all the things going on in the country" that Trump "would take time out to insult me and my intelligence."

"This is his pattern with African-Americans," she said. "He doesn't know how to control himself."

Okay, we told you so.

Me and S. Baldwin have been critical of Omarosa for her blind support of a man who has no care for people of color. Why would he?

How he treated Barack Obama?

How he treated La Donald Johnson?

How he referred NFL players and Colin Kaepernick?

How he referred April Ryan?

How he referred Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and LeBron James?

How he referred the African Union and Haiti?

How he referred the Central Park Five?

How he referred Maxine Waters?

Let's get this straight. From Snoop Dogg to Omarosa Manigult Newman, Donald J. Trump has said nasty things about Black people. I don't even know why Tim Scott, Will Hurd, Ben Carson, Mia Love and Jason James even support the Republican Party given their party is embracing White extremism.

Carl Paladino Stinks Up Buffalo, New York!

Buffalo's local racist Carl Paladino declares his intention to run for Republican seat being vacated by scandal proned Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY)/
The blue wave is a coming.

It seems like Republicans demanded Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) to step aside for the sake of the party. Donald J. Trump's biggest supporter in Congress is facing 15 counts of federal crimes involving insider trading, securities fraud and illegal use of government expenses. While Collins maintains his innocence, I guess he was out of friends and supporters. The Republican House Congressional Campaign Committee severed funding for his campaign and now New York Republicans are scrambling for a replacement even though Collins remains on the ballot.

His seat is now going to be considered a toss up now that he has exited the race. Now it's not just Collins seat but Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY) are up for grabs. The seats are considered possible pick ups thanks to Collins.

Now enter Carl Paladino.

The Buffalo area business mogul who always seems to cause outrage within the area.

Paladino is now interested.

Paladino was removed from the Buffalo/Erie County School Board last year after he was sharing on social media, racist memes about Barack and Michelle Obama.

Now the perennial loser is running for the seat that Collins is giving up.

New York Republicans are scrambling to find a candidate who could replace an already sealed nominee on the ballot.

Fun fact: Paladino is cousin-in-law to Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY), the lawmaker who serves Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Maybe progressives should find a way to get rid of Higgins as well. Conservative Democrats are Republicans who run in Democratic districts. They switch parties if Republicans take control of Congress.

Florida Man Served In Markeis McGlockton Murder!

The suspect who shot a man in a parking lot is indicted. This guy started the confrontation. Now the guy is trying to use the Florida "Stand Your Ground" law as an excuse.
The guy who shot Markeis McGlockton outside a Clearwater store is being charged with manslaughter. The man who went into hiding after he put a bullet in the chest of McGlockton was given a trial date and mugshot.

In the latest controversy surrounding the Florida "Stand Your Ground" law, this white guy murdered Markeis. The father of three was defending his girlfriend after Michael Drejka confronted her over a parking spot reserved for special needs.

Drejka parked close to the woman and got out his vehicle to berate her.

When Markeis was in the store with his son, her hear a commotion. He saw this white guy berating his girlfriend. He shoves him to the ground. Within a matter of seconds, Drejka without verbal warning pulls out his firearm and shot the father in the chest.

Markeis died en route to the local hospital.

The Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gulatieri said that the "stand your ground" law did apply to this issue. He did not charge Drejka for the crime.

There's a get out free card for Drejka. He has to owe out $100k.

In a surprise move, Pam Bondi, the controversial attorney general decided to file manslaughter charges.

The family says that indicting and convicting him will satisfy them. They believe the court system will favor the shooter and not the victim.
The shooting was captured on camera.
Benjamin Crump said, "It's about time --- This self-appointed wannabe cop attempted to hide behind 'Stand Your Ground' to defend his indefensible actions, but the truth has finally cut through the noise."

"I have full faith that this truth will prevail to punish this cold-blooded killer who angrily created the altercation that led to Markeis' needless death."

The girlfriend Britany Jacobs is still reeling over her boyfriend's death. He leaves behind three children.

Rick Scott, the governor of the state who is running for the U.S. Senate. Floridians need to keep that sucker out of Washington. Under Scott, Florida had seen the worse. The Pulse Nightclub and Parkland school shootings are still fresh in the minds of millions. Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis were gunned down in confrontations. With the exception of Davis's killer, Martin's killer continues to bring problems to the state. The state has a budget crisis.
Justice for Markeis McGlockton isn't over. We've only just begun.
Florida Republicans like Marco Rubio, Adam Putman, Matt Gaetz and Ron DeSantis are toe dipping in white extremism.

Republicans have ruined Florida. It's time for voters to send them out of the statehouse and U.S. Capitol.

We demand justice for Markeis McGlockton.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Once he appears in court, I will not refer to him by name. The charges of manslaughter could put the suspect in the iron college for twenty to LIFE.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

What Happened To Dashawn McGrier?

Would you want this done to you?
Baltimore Police had fired a dirty cop out of cannon. Don't believe the hype of the cop resigning.

The city police are trying to clean house. Bad cops have caused tension within the community. It's also hurting investigations into criminal activity. The residents are scared of the gang violence and the police.

This was shown on social media. A Baltimore City cop engaging in a confrontation with a 26 year old man. When the cop touched the man, he swatted his hand away. That gave him a serving of knuckle style chilli with onions.

Dashawn McGrier is lucky to be alive.



Police said a second officer on the scene at the time of the incident was placed on administrative duties pending the outcome of the investigation.

Attorney Warren Brown, who is representing McGrier who was punched was not being charged with a crime, but was taken to a hospital and was having X-rays taken of his jaw, nose and ribs late Saturday for suspected fractures from the altercation.

Brown said McGrier had a previous run-in with the same police officer — whom he identified as Officer Arthur Williams — in June that resulted in McGrier being charged with assaulting the officer, disorderly conduct, obstructing and hindering, and resisting arrest. Brown said that in that incident and in the one Saturday, McGrier was targeted without justification by the officer.

"It seems like this officer had just decided that Dashawn was going to be his punching bag," Brown said. "And this was a brutal attack that was degrading and demeaning to my client, to that community, and to the police department."
Dashawn McGrier was brutally assaulted by a dirty Baltimore cop. He and the cop had a run-in before. He still has charges pending for the first encounter. The cop who served him a knuckle style chili was fired out the cannon.
Williams was hired by the Baltimore Police Department just over a year ago. He graduated from the police academy in April, and got top honors. He was the bearer of  "the colors" of the graduating class. And Williams won honors for defense tactics, physical training and emergency vehicle operation.

Remember Freddie Gray died in 2015 while in police custody. According to the right wing carnival barkers, he created his injuries. Gray was a no good drug dealer and deserved his fate. Conservatives were attacking Barack Obama, Eric Holder and Black Lives Matter over this.

It lead to a few nights of unrest.

It thrust Marilyn Mosby into the spotlight. She managed to get six cops indicted on murder. The state prosecutor couldn't deliver on conviction but it led the U.S. Justice Department to place Baltimore Police on the federal watch.
