This afternoon, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) announced that she is formally in the president's race.
The firebrand senator has made her pitch in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The 69-year old Massachusetts Democrat officially launched her campaign at a rally in one of New England's most poorest and heavily Latino communities.
"I am a candidate for President of the United States of America," declared Warren to a crowd of supporters.
Warren proposing an "ultra millionaires tax" on the super wealthy and twice praised the Green New Deal, a plan rolled out by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). The freshman lawmaker has rolled out a huge proposal that could help build our economy.
Warren also aimed at Donald J. Trump for using the Pocahontas slur and using fear mongering as way to win debate. Warren had to recently admit that she faked her race when she declared that she was Native American on some of her college admissions.
She has apologized. The right has continued to demonize her for that. Trump contentiously wants her to be the nominee. He is hoping to get Republicans to back him against her.
Warren is a lecture, college professor who became an expert on bankruptcy law and is former tenured Harvard University professor.
Warren ran for U.S. Senate after Republicans blocked her from being the Consumer Protection Bureau chief. She defeated insurgent candidate Scott Brown in a closely watched race in 2012.
Warren has won reelection and is considered a progressive. She was formerly a Republican until 1995 and has been progressive since.
She wants to tax the rich, banking regulation, enforcement of the DREAM Act, support for pro-choice and pro-LGBT rights, campaign finance restrictions (dark money), a public option to healthcare and removal of the U.S. from Afghanistan and Syria.
Warren announced she was forming a presidential exploratory committee in late December.
No church in the wild. Justin Fairfax found one more skeleton in his closet. He is accused by another woman.
The Virginia Democrats are scrambling for a way out of the sinkhole their governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general left.
There are calls for not only Ralph Northam to exit, but his second banana Justin Fairfax too.
A second woman comes forth claiming that the 39-year old Democrat was sexually assualted in 2000 while they were both students at Duke University.
The woman who came forward through a letter released by her attorney, claims she was friends with Fairfax at the time but they were not romantically involved.
It specifically says that Fairfax got to causally kissing and then forcing the victim into his crotch.
The allegations are similar to the first accuser Vanessa Tyson, a Stanford professor who came forth with the allegations that rocked Richmond.
Meredith Watson released her letter to the junk food media on Friday.
She described that he was premeditated and aggressive.
Fairfax, once seen as a rising star among the Democratic Party is now seeing his stock fall. The state Democrats are preparing for an emergency meeting. They are preparing for a session to remove Northam, Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring from office.
Herring was the latest to be accused of racism. The Attorney General admitted he donned blackface during the 1980s.
A Republican majority leader also faces the heat. Thomas Norment was also accused of donning blackface as well.
The Commonwealth of Virginia is in a mess. The Republicans are seething with joy. They believe they could recapture the state and soon the governorship.
Northam isn't planning on resigning. Same with Fairfax and Herring. Democrats have lost faith in each of these leaders.
R. Kelly can't catch a break. He lost his studio and his American tour is scrapped. Now he's trying to spread his love to Australia and folks are concerned down under.
Robert Sylvester Kelly is having trouble in all sorts of places.
After that blockbuster documentary Surviving R. Kelly, the singer is now struggling to find a place.
His hometown of Chicago placed a ban on him. He was ordered to stay out of his studio after hours.
City officials said that the studio had bedrooms and bathrooms in the space. They said that is a violation of housing and business codes.
Chicago shut down his studio and ordered him to use the property during a 9am-5pm work week.
His manager and attorneys said the judges involved are trying to "invert" the hours of operation that doesn't work for the singer. He opens his studios during the 8pm-7am hours to be "creative."
"I have never been creative or worked between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm," said R. Kelly.
North Carolina urban/pop stations are dropping his music from their playlists. The station from large market Charlotte said that you'll have to hear it somewhere else. WOSF-FM and WBAV-FM have followed a call from local residents to #MuteRKelly.
It comes after the lawyers for the singer confirmed that Aaliyah and R. Kelly did have a marriage. It was the idea of R. Kelly. He told her to fake an age. Her mother and father forced the two to dissolve the marriage.
R. Kelly has allegedly kept two women at his side. The family of the women are calling upon the law to find out if they were sexually abuse by the singer.
It looks like #KellzInTown.
The singer is planning a tour in Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka despite the allegations of him having numerous affairs with underage girls.
The singer has not been on social media since he was dropped from RCA Records.
Australian lawmaker wants to place a public ban on the singer.
Doc Thompson passed away in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex. He was killed by a high speed train while jogging.
Another conservative agitator heads to the pearly gates. This one was once a local DJ in Dayton and Cincinnati before he found his true calling in being a far-right agitator. He was apart of The Blaze but left the network during its financial crisis.
The Blaze merged with Conservative Review and became BlazeTV in 2019.
Michael "Doc" Thompson was killed after he was hit by an Amtrak train in Haltom City, Texas.
The man was jogging near or on the tracks when a high speed train hit him.
He used to have hosting duties for other agitators like Bill Cunningham, Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.
There are no words. Doc will be greatly missed. Our prayers go out to his family. If you are able and feel so inclined, please contribute to the GoFundMe page below to help support Doc’s family. https://t.co/h8n7WZKYAi
Friends, Thank you so much for your continued prayers, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time. My 40.29 work family and community have shown me so much love, and we are so grateful.
I’m not going to be over this for quite a while. #DocThompson’s legacy will not be forgotten. His incredible personality & informative radio show broke ground. Please join me & @realKrisCruz and those closest to him by donating to cover his funeral costs. #rip to a GREAT man! https://t.co/Af5LOFDHmE
Stunned to wake up to this horrible news this morning. I did radio with Doc Thompson several times and he was always respectful, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Heartbroken for his family. https://t.co/5DbNJKxmW8
I need to sign off for the night. Today has been one of the most difficult days in my life. I’m blown away by the support for this campaign. If you can help. Please donate.
He ran the Daily Mojo radio show with his co-hosts Ron Phillips and Brad Staggs.
Train engineers saw the man on the tracks and they blew the horn. The man was wearing wireless headphones and may have not heard the train approaching.
Doc Thompson was married to Yuna Lee.
His wife Yuna Lee once worked for a Dayton station. She reported a false story about Obama supporters trashing a park.
Yuna Lee had worked for Dayton television station WHIO for six years before she took off for the Fort Smith market in Arkansas/Oklahoma.
Lee was infamous for making a bogus claim about Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Dayton appearance during the 2012 presidential campaign. She made the claim that supporters trashed a local park after Obama and Biden made their speeches. That was not the case. Volunteers for the Obama for America campaign were cleaning up the park. I was a part of that.
The wait for Obama and Biden was nine hours. Getting there at 7am to wait til 4pm was hella long.
Lee knew that people were complaining about the heat and were offered water bottles. They were not allowed to bring water bottles and coolers to the park.
Thompson leaves behind three children and wife Yuna Lee.
"We The Free....." How about "We The Looney Coons!"
On behalf of me and S.B., we thank you for reading World News Today. Without your support, we wouldn't be doing this.
Countdown to troll remarks....5, 4, 3, 2.......1.
Let's go.
As explained in my earlier postings, I said that I am not a fan of Looney Coons. Those are them so-called "free'd Blacks" who run towards the cameras claiming that they're off the "Democrat Plantation."
You know them as Black conservatives. But I rather call them, coonservatives.
These are the folks who tell you condescending bullshit about the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. They run their revisionist history about how the Democratic Party was founded on the principles of racism. They conclude that Republicans were the founding members of civil rights and Black America should BLEXIT.
Which Black Coonservative annoys you the most? (Who's the most nuttiest Looney Coon)? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)
This movement was started by right wing alt-coon Candace Owens and promoted by rapper/producer Kanye West.
It's a movement of Black conservatives spreading the "gospel" of how the Democrats and namely former president Barack Obama offering false hope and lackluster promises.
They complain about how cities being run by Democrats being turned into slums and how their gods, Saint Ronald (or Imbecile Donald) brought America together.
They believe that Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump share that one thing: Black support.
About 15% of African Americans voted for Donald J. Trump and it seems likely that he will pull at least double digits again. Trump has corralled Black conservatives and they're pleased with their master.
The Republican Party is 90% White. It has only 2% Black, 3% Latino, 2% Asian American and 3% whatever. If you do the actual math, Republicans lawmakers and politicians are mostly white, male and poorly educated. That means 96% of the Republican Party is male and 4% is other.
Owens claims that she was awaken to the Republican Party in 2015. She earned the name Red Pill Black and dubbed it on her social media. She along with Parkland shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv were hired by alt-white twerp Charlie Cook and his organization, Turning Point USA. They recently hired CJ Pearson, the teen coonservative who attacked the Irving, Texas school student Ahmad Mohamed who was arrested after he brought a digital clock into the classroom. The school mistaken it for a bomb.
Owens and Kashuv are the counter to Bree Newsome and David Hogg, two prominent activists who gained name recognition. Newsome was famous from taking down the Confederate flag from the grounds of South Carolina's state capitol. Hogg and his former classmates started, the March for Our Lives Movement. The movement is determined to get lawmakers to change gun laws in America.
Owens and Kashuv often show up as trolls. They are featured on Fox News. BlazeTV and Newsmax promoting their "counter point.
Republicans in particular love to rewrite history. George W. Bush left the presidency with two wars, trillions of debt, an economic collapse and division. Obama was handed this mess and managed to turned around.
Now, Donald J. Trump is taking credit for a stable economy that is slowly falling back into decline.
Since Obama's term in office, he's been attacked by the far-right. The unprecedented attacks from the far-right has became a boomrang. The far-left is now showing Trump and Republicans a dose of their own.
Larry Elder made appearance on Looney Coons. He appeared at BLEXIT.
I've said in the previous post that this annoying troll believes "facts" are driven by worship.
First things first. There is no god. I don't worship anyone!
You hear this repetitive nonsense from this troll and I swear that's the only thing the troll's got.
You got the game twisted, troll. Nobody I know worships man. That includes Jesus Christ.
This troll and many like him are ignorant. They can be ignorant all they want. This is America.
This country is more polarized, less religious, less educated, less motivated, highly overweight, and bloodthirsty. We hide behind platitudes and run on narratives about who's more right than factual.
We are driven to discourse by the junk food media and social media. I cannot stop it. I am not in the business to stop it. However, I do have control over how I read things on this blog. I have semi-control over what is posted on this blog. I am not planning on changing my views on Trump no time soon.
Candace Owens is top billing on Looney Coons.
I really believe Trump and his allies are destined for failure. America could reelect Trump. After all, Republicans are ramming through laws that make it harder to vote. They are passing weak gun laws that make it possible for individuals to possess firearms to kill people of color and law enforcement. The Republicans are trying to pass laws that restrict women from have termination. But once they have a child, the Republicans want to strip the safety net so no single mother can get food and housing for their family.
It's pretty sad that this troll believes I worship a man. I don't go to church. I work too fucking much and make enough to survive. In this country, the so-called "Land of the Free" more Americans work longer hours for little pay.
Thank you capitalism. Your "milk and honey" has cost Americans more out of their pockets.
Black conservatives fail to realize that everyone has a place at the table.
The Democratic Party has become more progressive and they're looking towards the future.
Whereas the Black conservatives and Republicans in general are stuck in the past.
African Americans do not (and I repeat) have to explain to a conservative why they vote for the Democratic Party. If you ask me, the very existence of Black conservatives is one of the reasons why it's important to vote Democratic.
When Black conservatives tell you, you're enslaved, you realize that you're not the one trying to beg for the master's scraps.
Tough guy Liam Neeson tucks his tail between his legs after he admitted he was interested in putting the hurt on a random Black person.
Irish actor said that he wanted spark a deadly confrontation with any Black person he ran into.
Wow.
We're gearing up for another year of the "White person fucking with the person of color minding their business."
Northern Irish actor Liam Neeson said that wanted to roam the streets to just kill a Black man. He claimed that a woman he knew was raped. He wanted to who raped her. He gotten upset and wanted to thrown down.
Neeson wanted to go out with a club and wanted to be approached by a Black bastard. He said the moment he was triggered he wanted to knuckle down. He said he came to his senses.
He couldn't serve that knuckle style chili.
Neeson said no violence occurred. He said he would have been looking for a white man if his friend had identified her attacker as white.
"It was horrible, horrible when I think back, that I did that," Neeson said on GMA. "It's awful, but I did learn a lesson from it."
Neeson was the subject of criticism and was accused of being racist after an interview with The Independent was published in February 2019.
Speaking at a press junket for his upcoming movie Cold Pursuit, Neeson explained his character's "primal" anger by recounting his own experience many years before. A woman close to him said she had been raped by a stranger, and Neeson asked what color skin the attacker had.
In the interview, Neeson also said he was "ashamed" to recount the experience and that it was "horrible" that he did that:
"It’s awful ... But I did learn a lesson from it, when I eventually thought, ‘What the fuck are you doing?'
Neeson cancelled his movie premiere of Cold Pursuit.
No justice for EJ Bradford. No peace for Hoover, Alabama.
BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC VIDEO FOOTAGE IN THIS. ELIMINATE THE FALLACY OF THE GOOD GUY WITH A GUN. THE LAW SEES ANYONE WITH A GUN AS A THREAT. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.
Back in November, a suburban Birmingham mall was the scene of a mass shooting. The Hoover Police shot and killed a man who they believed was the terrorist involved in the shooting.
After two days of having the junk food media believe they've stopped a threat, the truth.
The Hoover Police admitted they fucked up. They killed the wrong guy. They killed a man who had no criminal record, no history of violence or the alleged bad guy. They killed the "good guy with a gun."
Who they've killed has the city under fire.
E.J. Bradford (known as Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford, Jr) was the young man killed. He was shot three times from behind and killed on sight by the Hoover Police inside the Riverchase Galleria, a major mall outside Birmingham.
It was revealed that the Office of the Attorney General for the state of Alabama released a report of its review of the evidence regarding the shooting. They determined that "Officer 1" as referred to the report "identified E.J. Bradford as an immediate deadly threat to innocent civilians and thus shot Bradford to eliminate the threat."
So therefore, the grand jury determined that the cop won't be criminally charged.
Hoover officials on Wednesday held a press conference to respond to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall's release of a 24-page report clearing the officer of any criminal wrongdoing in Bradford’s death on Thanksgiving night.
EJ Bradford's mother demands the federal government investigate the shooting.
Mayor Frank Brocato said city and police officials stand behind the officer, whose name has not been released by the department nor in Marshall's report. That support includes funding for any legal defense should a civil suit be filed in connection with the case.
"We will defend our city and we will defend our police officers," Brocato said.
E.J. Bradford's family was not happy about this.
The family called the Alabama Attorney General’s report on his death a cover-up after learning the Hoover police officer who fatally shot the 21-year-old on Thanksgiving night will not be criminally charged.
Protesters have claimed that there is body camera footage of two Hoover police officers "fist bumping" each other in the moments after the fatal shooting. The mayor said that was an unsubstantiated rumor. "I was there that night and what I saw was police officers acting professionally. There was grave concern on their faces," he said. "I saw a real emotion there, so I don't have anything to substantiate rumors like that. What I saw was true concern and care and hearts that were broken over the entire situation."
The actual suspect was caught in Atlanta, Georgia a few weeks later.
The terrorist Erron M.D. Brown was arrested by the U.S. Marshals at a home. He was charged with murder and sent back to Alabama to be held.
Normally I don't use the name of the mass shooter. But in this case, the terrorist has a place in the situation.
Some are calling for a boycott of Birmingham and its suburbs.
The state of Alabama fucked up on this one. That cop should have been charged. He made a fatal mistake. In an open carry state like Alabama, you got to be a white guy with a firearm. Because the cops might not mistaken you as a threat.
Regardless, civil rights groups are calling for a boycott of Hoover, Alabama. They demand the cop is fired out the cannon, the police chief and mayor removed from office and a federal investigation into the matter.
Now the video we're going to see is graphic. Be warned, it's disturbing.
