Kim Davis: Out On Bail Bitches!

Kim Davis, Rowan County Kentucky clerk ordered out. By federal order, she is to not interfere with marriage licenses. Davis vows to meddle.

The controversial Kentucky county clerk who refused to marry gay couples was ordered out of lockup today. After spending the Labor Day weekend in the county lockup, the federal judge said it's wrap.

U.S. Federal judge David Bunning ordered an immediate release of Kim Davis.

The clerk may soon be out of lockup by 5pm.

The order comes with a price. She cannot interfere with clerks willing to issue licenses. I am guessing she will defy the order and be put back in the lockup.

This issue came forth after she stood on religious grounds to block marriage licenses to three gay couples and two straight couples.

She admits that her Christian faith would not allow her to marry couples. Being a government. Defying a Supreme Court ruling, the Rowan County clerk had become a much talked about issue. The racist/religious/stupid right has gathered to the jail to do a protest rally for Davis.

Davis even got support among the clowns running for the nomination. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee will seek her endorsement. They plan on visiting the jail for moral support and votes.
Huckabee will be in Ashland, KY to rally supporters.
The Liberty Counsel has aided her legal defense and argued that the government went too far in jailing her.

Now this has set a rebellion of judges, county clerks and state workers willing to be jailed for refusing marriage licenses to couples.

This impact may spark the rise of the religious extremists who dominated the 1990s. The legacy of Jerry Falwell continues. Falwell was a dominate force in the religious right. He made Republicans and some Democrats take pledges to vow a Christian agenda. This pledge stands with many lawmakers. Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham are the living embodiment of religious extremism.

Davis is a registered Democrat by the way. The Democratic Party denounced her.

The release will assure that she will once again meddle in this. She will likely stand defiant in this.

Okay, what's your thought on the matter?

Do you believe Kim Davis's right to religious grounds?

Is it right to defy a federal order?

Handicapping U.S. Senate Race!

2016 Senate election map.svg
Republicans will likely keep their hold on the Senate.

This has been a very unproductive year for the Republican-led Congress. The House and Senate have spent a majority of their time trying to oppose the president's policies and repealing the laws created from the previous sessions.

They are officially back to work. They got a highway spending bill to pass. They got to pass a budget for the fiscal year. They have to raise the debt ceiling. They have to authorize the president's military action to fight against the Islamic State. They also have to decide on the Six Power resolution on Iran.

The Republicans have signaled opposition to the Iranian deal. They have promised to pass a temporary stop gap bill for highway funding. They want to repeal the healthcare law. They want to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. They want to pass the reactionary Kate Steinle law.

President Barack Obama promised to veto any legislation that goes against his agenda.

So far the job approval of Congress is 13%. The leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) have been dismal at best.

By far, Republicans are fucked. The longtime lawmakers fear they may be usurped by insurgents.

Could the insurgents retake Congress once again?
Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) vows to beat Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL). The double amputee veteran could win. She could be the first Asian American woman from the state to be a senator.
My best thoughts on the U.S. Senate race include the ones the junk food media will focus on.

So far I count this as unpredictable. It's a matter of anti-establishment or anti-politician. It's a focus rather on Obama fatigue or the inept Republican led Congress.

The races so far are handicapped by SAFE, LIKELY, LEAN or TOSS UP.

Anything I say doesn't matter. I don't control the mind of a voter. But I will tell you that the Republicans have to the most seats up for grabs. The Democrats have the most to defend.

So far, if the elections were today, Republicans would retain seats and earn two. Democrats would retake two and retain most of their seats.

I can't predict the outcome but I guarantee that most of these candidates will survive an election. A few of them might have an insurgent challenger in the primaries. But who knows?

Alaska (Lisa Murkowski) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Hawaii (Brian Schatz) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Washington (Patty Murray) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Oregon (Ron Wyden) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
California (Barbara Boxer) (Retiring) (Safe Democrat)
Nevada (Harry Reid) (Retiring) (Toss Up)
Idaho (Mike Crapo) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Utah (Mike Lee) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Arizona (John McCain) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Colorado (Michael Bennet) (Running) (Toss Up)
North Dakota (John Hoeven) (Running) (Safe Republican)
South Dakota (John Thune) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Kansas (Jerry Moran) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Oklahoma (James Lanksford) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Iowa (Chuck Grassley) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Missouri (Roy Blunt) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Arkansas (John Boozeman) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Louisiana (David Vitter) (Undecided) (Safe Republican)
Wisconsin (Ron Johnson) (Running) (Toss Up)
Illinois (Mark Kirk) (Running) (Toss Up)
Indiana (Dan Coats) (Retiring) (Likely Republican)
Kentucky (Rand Paul) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Ohio (Rob Portman) (Running) (Likely Republican)
Alabama (Richard Shelby) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Georgia (Johnny Isakson) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Florida (Marco Rubio) (Retiring) (Toss Up)
Pennsylvania (Pat Toomey) (Running) (Safe Republican)
Maryland (Barbara Mikulski) (Retiring) (Safe Democrat)
North Carolina (Richard Burr) (Running) (Likely Republican)
South Carolina (Tim Scott) (Running) (Safe Republican)
New York (Chuck Schumer) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
Connecticut (Richard Blumenthal) (Running) (Likely Democrat)
Vermont (Patrick Leahy) (Running) (Safe Democrat)
New Hampshire (Kelly Ayotte) (Running) (Toss Up)

The most competitive races I predict will be Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Illinois and Wisconsin.

These seats were won by Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Four states are controlled by Republicans governors: Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Colorado is controlled by a Democratic governor.
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) the most vulnerable Democrat running for the senate.
Ron Johnson and Mark Kirk are the most vulnerable Republicans in this race. They have the most to fear because of the state's political leans. Scott Walker who is running for president has terrible job approval in his state. His bid for president could be an anchor for Johnson. Matter of fact, there could be a federal probe into Walker's office. Wisconsin voters are unpredictable. They have voted for Walker three times. He survived. Could Johnson survive?  He will likely face the former senator Russ Feingold. The Democrat was defeated in the insurgent wave. Feingold is considering another challenge against his old nemesis.

Kirk on the other hand has the most to lose. Kirk holds on the old seat once held by then senator Barack Obama. Kirk had an opportunity to retire when he suffered a stroke. But he held on to the seat. He also said some offensive things about fellow senator (presidential candidate) Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Kirk has to deal with the most competitive challenger the Democrats lined up. Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) has signaled her intention to run. She like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) have both served in the Iraqi War. She is a double amputee who won against an insurgent in 2012. She easily won her seat in 2014. The Democrats hope that she could built enough support to take on well funded Kirk.

Michael Bennet is the most vulnerable Democrat in the race. Bennet survived an insurgent challenge the first time, but could he face another one? Colorado Republicans have embraced weed legalization and a more stern stances to immigration. Insurgent Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) who faced him will likely sit it out. But the only candidate I can see willing to challenge Bennet is former secretary of state Scott Gessler. It's a toss up. Gessler's history could be a potential problem. Also the only Republican confirming a run is Darryl Glenn. He is an El Paso County commissioner. He has little name recognition.

Ohio's Rob Portman hasn't lost an election. He may face former Democratic governor Ted Strickland in this race. Portman is well funded and his job approval is decent here. John Kasich's run for president and his job approval may inspire Republicans to vote likely for Portman. He is one of the few Republicans to endorse marriage equality. He is also a political moderate who works with Democrats at some point.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is retiring. He is part of the gridlock machine that kept Congress at record low job approval. His retirement is a good thing for Washington. It's a bad thing for Democrats. They have a real good fight on them. They have to line up a candidate to take on the potential Republican. No candidate inspires me. Talk radio agitator Wayne Allan Root is too extreme. Shannon Angle is too dumb. Democrats are corrupt in Nevada. Who knows?  We'll see if there's a candidate willing to take the seat.

Florida's Marco Rubio decided to run for president. He can't be on the ballot twice. So he opt out for retirement to focus solely on the presidential run. He has nothing to lose. He may win the nomination. But then again, he may be a potential veep candidate. He, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) have chosen to take the gamble of being relatively unaccomplished politicians running for the nomination. Rubio's job approval is bad in Florida. The Republicans have to scramble to find a candidate willing to defend the seat. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL), a conservative leaning Democrat has signaled a run for the seat. I don't see any inspiring Republican challenger. The state is a toss-up for two reasons. Florida is a major swing state. Rick Scott sucks as a governor and his job approval could hurt the Republican nominee. Freshman insurgent Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) has signaled his intentions for the U.S. Senate seat. He recently won after Bill Young died.

Sen. Rand Paul is running for president and as a senator. Donald Trump put his bid in jeopardy. The people of Kentucky have soured upon Paul for his inept actions. He hasn't accomplish much as a senator and they're likely to reward him another term. But he may face a primary challenger if he opts out the presidential bid for the senate. Paul is an insurgent candidate who's got the most to lose. If he fails to get the nomination, he will continue his bid for the senate. As Trump said, why would Kentucky be willing to take a candidate who has failed!

Sen. John McCain from Arizona is by far the most annoying of the establishment. He will face a likely challenger from the right. He beat J.D. Hayworth in a primary fight in 2010. Trump mocked McCain on his status as a POW. McCain mocked Republicans for taking a tough stance on immigration. Trump used that as an advantage as well as his failed bids for president. His former running mate Sarah Palin will not endorse his bid. While the state is leaning as a swing, it's still has strong Republican hold. McCain running could be a safe bet. But given his standings with the party establishment and his inconsistent stances on issues, he could be beaten. Arizona will be a likely Republican hold.

Okay, what's your thoughts on this?

Bad Blood: Georgia Sons Tried To Murder Parents!

Two brothers tried to murder their parents. The law put them in lockup.

I guess it's going to be awkward at these family reunions. Two suburban Atlanta men are held in the county lockup for attempted murder. The attempted murder of their parents. 

Damn, why would you murder the parents? Were you guys loosing the allowance?

Anyway, here's the rundown of the situation. The brothers Cameron and Chris Ervin both got charges out the ass. They attacked their parents after a heated dispute. 

Yvonne Ervin called 911 Saturday morning and reported that she and husband Zachary were being attacked in their own home.

The perpetrators, she told police, were their own children. They were giving their parents a five finger knuckle roll alongside a toe jam side order.

"(Yvonne Ervin) stated to our 911 operator that her sons were trying to kill her and her husband," Gwinnett County Police Sgt. Rich Long told CNN.

But quick thinking from both mother and father enabled Yvonne to briefly escape from their sons long enough to call for help.

"(Yvonne Ervin) told the 911 operator that (her husband) had distracted the sons and that she was able to call," said Long. "That was probably the life-saving move from this event."

When police arrived at the Ervin family home in suburban Snellville northeast of Atlanta, "Zachary came out of the garage and collapsed," said Long. "He had a lot of head and body injuries from blunt force trauma and stab wounds on his back." Zachary Ervin was hospitalized in critical condition. Long said he and Yvonne are expected to survive.
Yvonne Ervin called 911 and reported that she and husband Zachary were being attacked by their own sons.
Brothers got angry at parents. They tried to murder them.
Police said the sons -- both of whom lived at home with them, according to CNN affiliate WSB -- were at the house when officers arrived, and the two were immediately arrested.

As brutal as the attack on the parents was, that wasn't the full extent of it, according to police. The sons also plotted to burn the home down, and had "introduced natural gas into the house," Long said.

Christopher (age 22) and Cameron Ervin (age 17) have each been charged with two counts of felony aggravated assault and two felony counts of first degree arson, according to Long. Under Georgia state law, 17-year-olds are considered adults in criminal cases, so both will be tried as adults, said Long, who added that investigators still don't know of any motive.

"There is no official motive at this point, but there has to be something more to this. I'm sure they didn't just wake up and decide to kill their parents yesterday," Long said on Sunday.

WSB reported the brothers were to be appointed defense attorneys Sunday, but it was not immediately clear if that had happened or who the attorneys are. Long said both suspects are expected to be in court at some point this week.

World News Today send our prayers to the Zachary and Yvonne Erwin.

High School Football Player Died On The Field!




A Louisiana high school football player passed away from his injuries he suffered from playing a Friday night game. While catching a punt return, Tyrell Cameron, a student at Franklin Parish High School was brutally hit by the players.

He died shortly after he was transported to Franklin Medical Center late Friday, said coroner's office spokesman Shane Scott.

CNN reports that the player was hit during a punt return in the fourth quarter in the game against Sterlington High School, Franklin Parish head coach Barry Sebren told CNN affiliate KNOE.

Northeast Louisiana Ambulance Service was on the sidelines during the game and rushed onto the field to help when Cameron was injured.

The cause of death is under investigation, but KNOE reported Cameron broke his neck.

A vigil for the 16-year-old Cameron was planned for Saturday night at Franklin Parish High School, CNN affiliates KTVE and KARD reported.

The school posted condolences on social media.

"He loved his family, his team, and the game of football. He will be missed," the school's Facebook page read.

"Tyrell will live on in the memory of those who loved him," the school's athletic program tweeted.
Football injuries are on the rise.

Since 1995, there have been 77 known cases in which the death of high school players were directly linked to football, according to numbers compiled by The National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research. There were five during the 2014 season. The center says about 1,100,000 people play high school football.

Also this week, a 16-year-old player at a Texas high school broke his neck during a junior varsity game, according to an online fundraising page for Jasiel Favors.

Favors, who played for Stony Point High School in Round Rock, is paralyzed from the waist down, the Austin Statesman reported Thursday.

Sophomore Josh Moore told CNN affiliate KXAN that Jasiel collided with two players and went down.

"Pretty sad to see because he was just laying there, I was worried if he was still alive or not, because he didn't move and they all swarmed, the cops swarmed over there," Moore told the Austin-area station.

World News Today send our condolences to Tyrell Cameron and Jasiel Favors.



Damon Wayans: Cosby Accusers Sure Know How To Hustle!

Damon Wayans defends his old friend Bill. 

Actor Damon Wayans goes to the junk food media to defend his mentor, Bill Cosby. 

The nation of Cosby collapsed after numerous accusations of rape and sexual assault allegations came forth. In a sworn testimony, Cosby admitted to using items that would make women extremely tired.

Wayans is not convinced that Cosby did this. He went on The Breakfast Club to defend him. 

"If I was him, I would divorce my wife, wink-wink, give her all my money, and then I would go do a deposition," says the actor. "I'd have some wine and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don’t believe that he was raping." 

 "It’s a money hustle". Wayans continued, saying, "Forty years — listen, how big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years? If you listen to them talk, they go, ‘Well, the first time…’ The first time? Bitch, how many times did it happen? Just listen to what they’re saying and some of them really is unrape-able. I look at them and go, ‘You don’t want that. Get outta here.’”

Again understanding that rape is traumatic and 90% of the time, rape goes unreported. 

Wayans is ignorant. Many rape victims often don't report their accuser because of power, the state of belief and money. Cosby obviously paid off women when he was caught doing it. I mean he's often trying to keep his legacy afloat. He would gladly silence an accuser if it stopped her from revealing his horrible deeds.
The famous Cosby frown.
Wayans don't see that some rape victims would commit suicide or have an unwanted pregnancy.

When Cosby was accused by a woman of fathering her child, he denied it. Shawn Upshaw, the mistress and her daughter Autumn Jackson tried to extort him. Jackson got some time in the iron college for this event. Many people sided with Cosby on that issue. Despite failed attempts to get a DNA test, Cosby refuses to acknowledge this.

Wayans should be very careful about his words. He could face some serious backlash for his comments. Trust me, rape is not funny or a rite of passage. It's a serious criminal act and it could land you in the iron college for LIFE or in some cases death.

In this gotcha media society, you have to have proof that a rape occurred. 

Concern trolls often shame a rape victim.

"She shouldn't have dressed like that!"

"She always slept around!"

"She said that she wanted to have sex!"

"She cries rape to get attention!"

"He should be raped in prison!"

"He had it coming"

"Like, most high school boys, they don't care if they bang the teacher!"

Did you know the first Black family of comedy are the Wayans. 

Keenen Ivory, Damon, Marlon, Shawn, Kim, Damon, Jr., Chaunte, and Damien Wayans are entertainers, comedians, writers and producers. They each had a hand in either a movie, a sitcom or animated series.

Keenen and Damon created In Living Color, the iconic sketch comedy on Fox. The show lasted for five seasons. It sparked the careers of Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey and Larry Wilmore.

Harris Faulkner Sues Hasbro For Unintentional Toy Name!

Harris Faulkner is angry that Hasbro released its latest Littlest Pet Shop feature. It's called "Harris Faulkner" and she's suing.

The black anchor on Outnumbered is pissed at a toy maker. Harris Faulkner is suing Hasbro because the Littlest Pet Shop named a toy "Harris Faulkner". Whether intentional or unintentional, she's pissed and she wants $$$$$$ and her name trademarked.

The network that gave Al Franken the best selling book as well as a senate win is behind this little crusade against the toy maker.

The Littlest Pet Shop introduced the cutest little hamster toy and this broad is so upset over it.

Political correctness?

Maybe a dig at the her?

Who knows?

I am not one to be upset over it. I actually see it as a compliment.
This toy has got a news anchor pissed.
It could have been worse! They could put her name to a gorilla and it would really drive  narrative that Black person is a monkey.

Ask President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. They often get the same treatment only more offensive.

Faulkner is suing Hasbro for “wrongfully appropriat[ing] Faulkner’s unique and valuable name and distinctive persona for its own financial gain.” The fact that they have a little ™ after the name is particularly troubling to Faulkner.

She’s also going after Hasbro for “substantial commercial and emotional damage” as well as “direct and contributory acts of unfair competition.”

Marc Lamont Hill: I'm Ashamed I've Worked For Fox!

cornel west mlh
Black scholars answer the racist right's attack on Black protesters.

The ongoing war against Black protesting. That network featured police officer, Black clergy, Black counter activists, Black and Hispanic agitators slamming the Black Lives Matter movement.

Now some in the support of Black Lives Matter fire back at the mounting criticism.

Marc Lamont Hill, professor and politicial agitator once was on that network. He was often the token liberal voice to a bombastic audience of conservatives. Now that he's ended ties with that network, he's going all out against their attempts to tie Black Lives Matter to the recent police shootings in America.

Hill with liberal extremist Dr. Cornel West were on CNN's Reliable Sources with Brian Stellzer

Everyone now heard the "pigs in blanket, fry 'em like bacon" remark. That's the endless loop of agitation from the Minnesota State Fair that the racist right seethed on.

Many activist in the movement denounced the chant and told that some members were tied to the New Black Panthers, a Black extremist group that seems to infiltrate movements to push its anti-White agenda.

Nonetheless, the comments stick and White folks are now fearing the movement as anti-White and anti-police.

West went first into it. West admitted there’s been some “hyperbolic rhetoric,” but said that happens whenever there is “black rage expressed based on black suffering,” and insisted there is no concrete evidence connecting #BlackLivesMatter to police deaths.

Hill didn't spare no one. He said that that network is being hypocritical for saying a few “outliers” represent the whole movement, but saying that wasn’t true of the tea party.

Hill said that it’s important to talk about the horrible deaths of police officers, but said when this “hate group” rhetoric gets ramped up, people in the movement are put in a defensive position and not able to address their issues.

And “particular media outlets,’ he continued (which includes Fox), are in this game to “troll the world” to say the suffering #BlackLivesMatter protesters are speaking out about is unimportant.
