Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton duke it out once again.
The Democratic debate is on MSNBC and the two candidates are taking off the gloves and I can say that it's pretty damn hostile. What turned out to be a friendly disagreement now becomes a battle royale.
Rachel Maddow and Chuck Todd get to instigate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton go after each other.
In the New Hampshire polls, Sanders is leading the polls. In the beginning Hillary Clinton was riding high in the polls. Sanders managed to either tie or run extremely competitive with her in the key states.
Iowa Caucus ended up with Clinton barely beating Sanders.
While the Republicans are having their civil war between Donald Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the Democrats are fighting it out.
This comes right after the CNN Townhall that was on yesterday. I didn't watch it.
Obviously the Democrats have cautious thoughts about their candidates. The field isn't strong.
It's so divided. The older generation and working class Democrats support Hillary Clinton. The young, White liberals and college educated support Sanders. The Black, Hispanic and LGBT vote is divided over who to choose.
Joe Alaskey, the voice of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck passed away today.
Joe Alaskey, the voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety and Sylvester and numerous characters in Warner Bros. animation passed away. Alaskey was one of the greatest successors post-Mel Blanc.
Alaskey also voiced Tiny Toons character Plucky Duck during the 1990s cartoon. Plucky. the spunky best friend of Buster and Babs Bunny, Plucky idolized Daffy Duck.
Alaskey also voiced Grandpa Lou Pickles on Rugrats (inheriting the role after David Doyle's death in 1997). He voiced Lou again in the Rugrats spin-off series, All Grown Up!. and all three films. He also voiced Stinkie in Casper as well as that film's 1996 animated spin-off, The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper.
That's All Folks..... The famed words of Porky Pig, the iconic character from Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies.
May he rest in peace. Hopefully his legacy will go unnoticed. Alaskey was part of your childhood throughout the 1990s. Those were the days when Saturday Morning Cartoons were good.
It's been over a year since they were eliminated from ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Joe Alaskey.
Failed presidential candidate Rick Santorum endorses Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for president.
Yesterday, the lamest candidate to run for president announced he was done. He won the 2012 Iowa Caucus by default. Officially Mitt Romney won the Caucus but it took two weeks to formally acknowledge that Santorum won.
Santorum came second to last in the caucus despite him traveling the 99 counties in a pickup truck.
Santorum was on the junk food media embracing the potential establishment's choice for a Republican nominee.
The fool couldn't even figure out what accomplishments Rubio got since he's been in the U.S. Senate.
Santorum appear on Greta van Screeching and Blow Joe to embrace his inner Rubio.
Santorum hates hip-hop music. I wonder if he knew that Rubio is a big fan of hip-hop music.
Rubio, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have no major accomplishments other than appearing on television over 50 times.
I am truly sadden by the latest news of a legend in R&B and funk music passing away.
The lead singer of the hit R&B group Earth, Wind & Fire, Maurice White, who's voice led through the 1970-80s with his funky grooves like "September", "Shining Star", "Boogie Wonderland", "Can't Hide Love" and "After The Love Is Gone" passed away.
According to the group, White passed away in his sleep after fighting Parkinson's Disease.
Maurice White was an American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, arranger and bandleader. He was the founder of the band Earth, Wind & Fire. He was also the older brother of current Earth, Wind & Fire member Verdine White, and former member Fred White. Maurice served as the band's main songwriter and record producer, and was co-lead singer (along with Philip Bailey). White won seven Grammys, and was nominated for 21 Grammys in total.
White was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame as a member of Earth, Wind & Fire, and was also individually inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Also known by his nickname Reese, he worked with several famous recording artists such as Deniece Williams, The Emotions, Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Maurice White.
DeRay McKesson decided to run for mayor to stop the potential nomination of former mayor Sheila Dixon.
Civil Rights activist DeRay McKesson formally files for the Democratic primary in the Baltimore mayoral race. The race is fielded with 13 candidates and one of them is scandal plagued.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has declined to run for re-election. Leading candidates include former Mayor Sheila Dixon, state Sen. Catherine E. Pugh, City Councilmen Carl Stokes and Nick J. Mosby, lawyer Elizabeth Embry and businessman David L. Warnock.
Knowing he's a long-shot for the nomination, DeRay wants to make a statement to corruption in the Baltimore police, the rampant homicide rate and potential of Sheila Dixon returning.
Dixon served as Baltimore's mayor before Stephanie Rawlings-Blake took over. Dixon was appointed to mayor after Martin O'Malley became governor of Maryland. Dixon would end up resigning after she was caught up in a bribery scandal. She took kickbacks and tried to hide it from state auditors.
Mckesson, 30, a Baltimore native and former public school administrator here and in Minnesota, is part of a team called Campaign Zero, which seeks to end police killings in America. The group wants to end "broken windows" policing, increase community oversight of police and limit use of force, among other goals.
He has met with top White House officials and presidential candidates in recent months to discuss civil rights. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called him a "social media emperor."
McKesson who rose to fame as apart of the #BlackLivesMatter movement has attracted much attention during the 2014-15 peak. He was there protesting throughout a list of high-profile incidents involving law enforcement.
McKesson has been rewarded for his actions and scrutinized by them. I started to acknowledge him when he appeared on that annoying conservative agitator's right wing carnival. He appeared alongside some conservative Black extremist Kevin Jackson. The interview between the two was heated. Jackson played dirty by called McKesson a "race pimp".
Since his appearance, McKesson rose in social media stock. Today he has 308,000 followers on his Twitter account and I am guessing some of his detractors are there too.
DeRay runs for mayor.
McKesson ignored the critics and kept pressing forward. His ground work also includes his #CampaignZero project which expands from police reform but protection of those in the LGBT community.
McKesson came out last year as a gay man.
Other candidates include Nick Mosby, the husband of state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby. She rose to fame when she indicted the six cops who were involved in the killing of Freddie Gray. Nick also appeared on that right wing network and told the reporters and Geraldo Rivera that their divisive coverage of the 2015 riots were biased.
The city of Baltimore already have 23 homicides this year.
President Barack Obama meets with religious leaders at the Islamic Society of Baltimore.
President Barack Obama spoke at a mosque today. This is the first time a sitting president ever visited a mosque.
The Washington Post reports that the historic 45-minute speech at a large, suburban Baltimore mosque was attended by some of the country's most prominent Muslims. In what appeared to be a counter to the rise in Islamophobia, Obama celebrated the long history of Muslim achievement in American life from sports to architecture and described Muslims as Cub Scouts, soldiers and parents, pointing out the mother of the pre-med college student who introduced him at the podium.
"There are voices who are constantly claiming you have to choose between your identities…. Do not believe them…. You fit in here. Right here. You're right where you belong. You're part of America, too," Obama said, his volume rising as he said he was speaking in particular at that moment to young Muslim Americans. "You're not Muslim or American, you're Muslim and American. And don't grow cynical."
The speech was one of several almost back-to-back, high-profile Obama addresses to U.S. faith communities, talks he seems to be using to focus on religious tolerance during an election season where faith often comes up in fiery contexts. One week ago he spoke at the Israeli Embassy, saying the impulse to stigmatize people of other faiths is "deep within us." On Thursday he will address one of the most high-profile evangelical events, the National Prayer Breakfast.
One of the biggest voices spewing anti-Muslim rhetoric.
Obama's comments come at a time when the country is furiously debating what constitutes religious freedom and who has the right to proclaim it: Is it for the Muslim refugee from Syria? The conservative Christian baker or photographer who can't in good conscience participate in gay weddings? The Orthodox Jewish private schools seeking funding? His comments Thursday will likely be closely watched.
Of course, in his last year, there's no rest in pissing conservatives off. Regardless of what Obama does, these conservatives will bitch about it.
It's pathetic. He's going all the way in pissing these guys off.
Obama already issued executive orders when it comes to firearms. The Iranian nuclear deal is active and the country is removing its nuclear stockpile. He rejected the KeystoneXL pipeline. He is "feeling good" about a potential Supreme Court ruling on his executive order on immigration. He and Vice President Joe Biden have spoken to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton on how to address Republicans and their relentless bitching.
Obama also acknowledges his achievements and failures as president. He said that he wished he could have gotten firearm safety laws passed when he had a minor super-majority in Congress.
He also says that conservatives would be "out of business" once he leaves. They'll have nothing to bitch about.
If a Republican gets into the White House and a disaster happens, you should already know that conservatives will blame Obama for it. Conservatives refuse to blame Republicans for inept leadership.
I'm sorry. They do blame Republicans. But not the way I see it. They believe that compromise and bipartisanship is bad. They refuse to acknowledge cultural shifts in the country. They're still living in the 20th Century with Ronald Reagan and tactical fear mongering.
Who's the real extremists?
I believe its the agitators in the junk food media who bitch and bemoan about President Barack Obama in their latest phony outrage.
Wondering how much outrage will conservatives have knowing the day after the election, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton or an establishment Republican winning the general election.
So far, Republicans managed to piss off almost everyone including their own base. It seems so disorganized and so intrusive when it comes to the right to choice, right to press and right to religion.
The trio of Islamophobia: Brigitte Gabriel, Thomas McInerny and Pam Geller.
Conservatives are so obsessed with the word vomit de jour, "radical Islam".
Obama warned Republicans to stop using the term. He believes that their ignorance could legitimize the terrorists and inspire more hate crimes against Muslims.
They're complaining about the poor. They're trying to use 20th Century tactics when it comes to socialism. And they're blow the dog whistle when they're attacking Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, and Muslims. The fear mongering and finger pointing is getting old and extremely tiring.
They refuse to acknowledge the Republican Party becoming more Whiter and isolated. Yeah, they may have Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio running. The Rainbow Coalition of Extremism isn't going to work.
White extremists hate them. They don't want a politically correct candidate.
Wiz Khalifa confirms that feud with Kanye West is over.
Wiz Khalifa still despises Kanye West but confirms that the feud between them is over. Last month, Kanye West launched into a Twitter meltdown dogging on Wiz after the rapper accused him of dissing his wife Kim Kardashian. Wiz was saying the actual meaning for KK is Khalifa kush.
In his rant, West managed to dog on Amber Rose and their son Sebastian.
Amber Rose clapped back and told her social media followers that Kim K. and Kanye do butt traffic and finger play. That set the junk food media ablaze. But after a few weeks of verbal snapping, it seems like the two ladies managed to work it like moms.
It's been told that Kim and Amber worked it out through their publicists. Kim actually called up Amber to directly squash the feud.
On Amber Rose's social media she poses with Kim Kardashian signalling a truce.
I am clearly a huge fan of Wiz Khalifa. He normally is a smoker not a fighter. He doesn't have many rap beefs with anyone. I know Kanye was kind of pissed Amber hooked up with Wiz, but he's now with Kim. Kim's antics turned him out.
Kanye's behavior was tolerable for some time. I remember the George Bush doesn't care about Black people remark. I also loathe his antics when he stole the spotlight from pop singer Taylor Swift.
Kanye West is a rapper, producer, songwriter, and media mogul. He is the founder of G.O.O.D. Music (Gettin' Out Our Dreams). He signed rap acts, Pusha T, Q-Tip, Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), Big Sean and singer John Legend to his label. West is signed through Def Jam with contractual association ROC Nation/Roc-A-Fella Records. He is married to Kim Kardashian and has two children with her.
