Someone's going to face charges. The ex-girlfriend of the Hesston terrorist is being served with aiding criminal with firearms. The terrorist was killed after he managed to kill three and injure twenty.
The ex-girlfriend of the Hesston terrorist is being served with federal indictment charges. She knowingly gave firearms to a convicted felon. Meaning that could put this woman in the federal time out for up to 10 years.
It seems like Cedric Ford, 38 had a strawman buy his firearms. The 28 year old woman who is the mother of this terrorist's children will face a judge in the coming days.
Sarah Hopkins was served on Friday the charge after she admitted that she gave the terrorist the AK 47 and Glock .40 caliber. She was the person who gave him the restraining order papers.
Josh Higbee, Brian Sadowsky, and Renee Benjamin lost their lives to a cold hearted terrorist.
Hopkins has two children with the terrorist. The feds went to the woman's home to sweep for possible explosives and the motive.
On Thursday, the terrorist was served with a restraining order. He flipped out and drove near his home in Newton. He decided to grab his firearms and try to carjack a woman nearby. He aimed the firearm at point blank range and managed to pop a round into the woman's car. It turns out to barely missed the woman.
The terrorist decided to car jack another person. He aimed his firearm at this guy. He shot him and threw him out the car.
And then the terrorist would return to his job at Excel Manufacturing to let his ex-bosses and co-workers have it.
The victims were named Friday. Renee Benjamin, 30, Brian Sadowsky, 44 and Josh Higbee, 31.
They were killed upon impact.
The law managed to put down this terrorist. The law is trying to determine what triggered him to commit this horrible act.
World News Today send our condolences to the families of Josh, Brian and Renee. They're lives taken away without any circumstances.
Hopkins is innocent until proven guilty. She will face a judge as soon as federal and state charges are released to the junk food media.
Looks like your #Nerdland may be over at MSNBC. It seems like Melissa Harris-Perry abruptly parted ways with the network. The network has primarily been focused on the 2016 presidential race and its given fodder time to covering the campaign rallies of Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
The host says that the network scrapped the show for political coverage. She is not happy about it.
She posted on her official social media page and the websites picked up on it.
Dearest Nerds,
As you know by now, my name appears on the weekend schedule for MSNBC programming from South Carolina this Saturday and Sunday. I appreciate that many of you responded to this development with relief and enthusiasm.
To know that you have missed working with me even a fraction of how much I've missed working with all of you is deeply moving. However, as of this morning, I do not have any intention of hosting this weekend. Because this is a decision that affect all of you, I wanted to take a moment to explain my reasoning.
Some unknown decision-maker presumably Andy Lack (of NBC News) or Phil Griffin (of MSNBC), has added my name to this spreadsheet but nothing has change in the posture of the MSNBC leadership team towards me or towards our show. Putting me on air seems to be a decision being made to save face because there is a growing chorus of questions from our viewers about my notable absence from MSNBC coverage. Social media has noted the dramatic change in editorial tone and racial composition of MSNBC's on-air coverage. In addition, Dylan Byers of CNN has made repeated inquiries with MSNBC's leadership and with me about the show and what appears to be its cancellation. I have not responded to reporters or social media inquiries.
However, I am not willing to appear on air in order to quell concerns about the disappearance of our show and our voice.
Here is the reality: our show was taken - without comment or discussion or notice - in the midst of an election season. After four years of building an audience, developing a brand, and developing a trust with our viewers, we were effectively and utterly silenced.
Now, MSNBC would like me to appear for four inconsequential hours to read news that they deem relevant without returning to our team any of the editorial control and authority that makes MHP Show distinctive.
The purpose of this decision seems to be to provide cover for MSNBC, not to provide voice for MHP Show. I will not be used as a tool for their purposes. I am not a token, mammy, or a little brown bobble head. I am not owned by Lack, Griffin, or MSNBC. I love our show. I want it back. I have wept more tears than I can count and I find this deeply painful, but I don't want back on air at any cost. I am only willing to return when that return happens under certain terms.
Undoubtedly, television nurtures the egos of those of us who find ourselves in front of the bright lights and big cameras. I am sure ego is informing my own pain in this moment, but there is a level of professional decency, respect, and communication that has been denied this show for years. And the utter insulting absurdity of the past few weeks exceeds anything I can countenance.
I have stayed in the same hotels where MSNBC had been broadcasting in Iowa, in New Hampshire, and in South Carolina, yet I have been shut out from coverage. I have a PhD in political science and have taught American voting and elections at some of the nation's top universities for nearly two decades, yet I have been deemed less worthy to weigh in than relative novices and certified liars. I have hosted a weekly program on this network for four years and contributed to election coverage on this network for nearly eight years, but no on on the third floor has even returned an email, called me, or initiated or responded to any communication of any kind from me for nearly a month. It is profoundly hurtful to realize that I work for people who find my considerable expertise and editorial judgment valueless to the coverage they are creating.
While MSNBC may believe that I am worthless, I know better. I know who I am. I know why MHP Show is unique and valuable. I will not sell short myself or this show. I am not hungry for empty airtime, I care only about substantive, meaningful, and autonomous work. When we can do that, I will return - not a moment earlier. I am deeply sorry for the ways that this decision makes life harder for all of you. You mean more to me than you can imagine.
Yours always,
Melissa
It seems like MSNBC is sticking to the liberal agitators of the primetime. Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell are stable for the time being.
MSNBC is turning into strictly news format. After it took a rise in 2013, it sank again in the ratings.
CNN is still cruising in the second place spot. But Fox News is beating the networks in a 2:1 margin.
I've always enjoyed Melissa Harris-Perry's show. What could happen now that she's departed from the network in such a fashion. Will you watch the network?
Hillary Clinton's conservative critics can take a chill. It seems like she's hot! Clinton won the South Carolina primary tonight beating Bernie Sanders 3:1.
While the conservatives were determined to have a fight in the South, Clinton easily beaten a formidable Sanders. I mean this comes a blow to Sanders who was hoping to upset Clinton.
Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) came out in favor of Clinton last week and provided a ground game for her.
She lost to Barack Obama in 2008 but a huge margin. Now it seems like the Black voters have decided to turn out for Clinton in droves. This was by far the largest turnout for the struggling Democratic candidate. I mean even the Black turnout was bigger than Obama's
Clinton promises to follow the president's policies and take on critics obsessed with Benghazi and her emails. She also stayed on the message of helping the middle class and building bridges and not walls.
The walls jab was aimed at Donald Trump. Trump promises that Mexico will pay for the border fence.
Hillary used her star power to bring out the vote. Katy Perry, Sybrina Fulton, the mother of slain teen Trayvon Martin, Bill Clinton and their daughter Chelsea Clinton-Mezvinksy to urge voters to turnout for her. The mothers of Eric Garner, Dontre Hamilton, Sandra Bland and Jordan Davis came out in support of the former secretary of state.
Clinton frequently emphasized racial justice in her campaign, calling for gun safety reforms after the shooting at a church in Charleston killed nine last June. She called for police to wear body cameras after a white officer shot and killed the unarmed black man Walter Scott in North Charleston in April. Earlier this week, she held a forum with mothers of unarmed young African Americans who have been killed in high-profile acts of brutality.
Clinton's lopsided win provided an important boost for her campaign — and a moment to wipe away bitter memories of her loss to Barack Obama in South Carolina eight years ago. She won the support of nearly 9 in 10 black voters, crucial Democratic backers who abandoned her for Obama in 2008.
During a raucous victory rally, Clinton briefly reveled in her sweeping support from South Carolina voters, hugging backers and posing with them for selfie photos. But then she pivoted quickly to the contests to come.
"Tomorrow this campaign goes national," she said. "We are not taking anything, and we are not taking anyone, for granted."
Sanders, expecting defeat on Saturday, left the state even before voting was finished and turned his attention to some of the states that vote in next Tuesday's delegate-rich contests. In a statement, Sanders vowed to fight on aggressively.
"This campaign is just beginning," he said. "Our grass-roots political revolution is growing state by state, and we won't stop now."
Clinton's victory came at the end of a day that saw Republican candidates firing insults at each other from Super Tuesday states. Donald Trump, working to build an insurmountable lead, was campaigning in Arkansas with former rival Chris Christie and calling Marco Rubio a "light little nothing;" Ted Cruz was asking parents in Atlanta if they would be pleased if their children spouted profanities like the brash billionaire, and Rubio was mocking Trump as a "con artist" with "the worst spray tan in America."
Clinton allies quickly touted the breadth of her victory. Besides blacks, she won most women and voters aged 25 and older, according to early exit polls.
Sanders continued to do well with young voters, his most passionate supporters. He also carried those who identified themselves as independents.
A self-described democratic socialist, Sanders has energized his supporters with impassioned calls for breaking up Wall Street banks and making tuition free at public colleges and universities. But the senator from Vermont, a state where about 1 percent of the population is black, lacks Clinton's deep ties to the African-American community.
While Sanders spent the end of the week outside of South Carolina, his campaign did invest heavily in the state. He had 200 paid staff on the ground and an aggressive television advertising campaign.
Exit polls showed 6 in 10 voters in the South Carolina primary were black, by far the largest proportion in any of the contests so far. About 7 in 10 said they wanted the next president to continue Obama's policies, and only about 20 percent wanted a more liberal course of action, according to exit polls conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press and television networks.
Clinton's sweeping victory suggested South Carolina voters had put aside any lingering tensions from her heated 2008 contest with Obama. Former President Bill Clinton made statements during that campaign that were seen by some, including influential South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, as questioning the legitimacy of the black presidential contender.
This time around, Clyburn endorsed Clinton, and her husband was well-received as he traveled the state on her behalf. She focused on issues with particular resonance in the black community and held an emotional event with black mothers whose children died in shootings.
Clinton's second White House bid lurched to an uneven start, with a narrow victory over Sanders in Iowa and a crushing loss to the senator in New Hampshire. She pulled off a 5-point win over Sanders in last week's Nevada caucus, a crucial victory that helped stem Sanders' momentum.
Clinton's campaign hopes her strong showing in South Carolina foreshadows similar outcomes in states like Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Virginia that vote Tuesday and have large minority populations.
Taken together, 865 Democratic delegates are up for grabs in the Super Tuesday contests in 11 states and American Samoa. Sanders is hoping to stay close to Clinton in the South while focusing most of his attention on states in the Midwest and Northeast, including his home state of Vermont.
Sanders has built a massive network of small donors and has the money to stay in the race deep into the spring. Still, Clinton's campaign sees a chance to build enough of a delegate lead to put the race out of reach during the sprint through March.
Clinton's will pick up most of South Carolina's delegates, widening her overall lead in AP's count. With 53 delegates at stake, Clinton will receive at least 31. Sanders picked up at least 12.
Going into South Carolina, Clinton had just a one-delegate edge over Sanders. However, she also has a massive lead among superdelegates, the Democratic Party leaders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at this summer's national convention, regardless of how their states vote.
Looks like even Drudge couldn't denounce this victory.
That annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity was trying his darnedest to denounce Clinton for playing the "race card". He'll certainly address this issue with that coon Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County.
Congratulations to Hillary Clinton on her victory.
Facebook CEO doesn't like trolling. He laid the hammer on trolls working at his company.
The CEO of the largest social media network lays the hammer on employees. He warned the workers that if you have bias towards civil rights, you have no place with Facebook.
In Menlo Park, California, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg told his employees on Wednesday to stop crossing out #BlackLivesMatter with #alllivesmatter.
An internal memo was sent across the company from Zuckerberg acknowledging that employees have in fact crossed out the slogan and replaced it with another.
The memo was posted on a private company announcement page on Facebook and obtained by technology blog Gizmodo.
In the memo, Zuckerberg made it clear that he found the practice unacceptable in another meeting and that he is disappointed that this has continued to happen since then.
There have been several recent instances of people crossing out 'black lives matter' and writing 'all lives matter on the walls at MPK.
"Despite my clear communication at Q&A last week that this was unacceptable, and messages from several other leaders from across the company, this has happened again.I was already very disappointed by this disrespectful behavior before, but after my communication I now consider this malicious as well.
"There are specific issues affecting the black community in the United States, coming from a history of oppression and racism. 'Black lives matter' doesn't mean that other lives don't -- it's simply asking that the black community also achieves the justice they deserve.
Mark Zuckerberg warns workers not to stifle people posting on the company's wall.
"We've never had rules around what people can write on our walls -- we expect everybody to treat each other with respect. Regardless of the content or location, crossing out something means silencing speech, or that one person's speech is more important than another's. Facebook should be a service and a community where everyone is treated with respect.
"This has been a deeply hurtful and tiresome experience for the black community and really the the entire Facebook community, and we are now investigating the current incidents.
"I hope and encourage people to participate in the 'Black@' town hall on 3/4 to educate themselves about what the Black Lives Matter movement is about."
Two percent of Facebook's employees are black, according to the latest data released by the company. Fifty five percent are white, 36 percent are Asian and 4 percent are Hispanic.
Time reported that the company began an anti-bias course for employees last August to promote diversity.
The terrorist had criminal history with firearms. How the hell did he obtain one?
The mass shooting in Kansas became a topic today when the president visited a Jacksonville plant.
President Barack Obama said that Congress is too afraid of their political futures. He said no matter how many times he addresses this, the lawmakers are still inept to getting reasonable gun control measures passed. He said that he'll do whatever it takes to stop this.
Many in the United States have become numb to the constant mass shootings happening in the country. No other country in the world has this many mass shootings. The United States is by far the leader of gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
It beats terrorism, Ebola, the Zika virus and HIV.
I doubt the Republican governor Sam Brownback, the Republican-controlled Congress and of course the Republican presidential candidates will move the needle forward in trying to curb mass shootings.
They will offer prayers to the victims and use rhetoric that draws hypothetical reactions to how to handle a mass shooting. They predicate the narrative that the president and Democrats are trying to take guns. They will politicize these tragedies for political gamesmanship. The conservatives will automatically claim its a liberal Obama supporter.
Mass shootings are happening everyday in the United States.
The blame game shifts to if the shooter was a Muslim, a Black man and or an undocumented immigrant. They will rally attacks towards the president for not acknowledging the race of the suspect.
But if it's a White person, the conservatives will deflect politics. If the person was a dye in the wool conservative, they'll dismiss it as a tactic of the left.
Then the kookspiracy would say that people who were killed or filmed in emotion are crisis actors.
Matter of fact, if you're a smart person, you wouldn't care about this terrorist's political views or race.
All that matters, this terrorist obtained a firearms to inflict harm among those who want to freely live their lives working for a living.
The terrorist was being served a piece of paper after he had a violate relationship with person he had dated. He had also had a feud with co-workers. He was told to bounce from his job. Then 90 minutes later, he would shoot an innocent driver in Newton. He would travel back to the Excel Lawnmower plant in Hesston to extract revenge.
Some are saying that the terrorist being served a restraining order made him snapped.
The terrorist, Cedric Ford had a criminal record. What the hell was doing obtaining a firearm if he was a convicted felon?
The terrorist grew up in Miami, Florida. He was on probation for a series of convictions in Miami at the time of the shootings. He had a criminal record stretching back to October 1996, when he was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm at the age of 18.
In Harvey County, Kansas, the terrorist was arrested for drug possession, theft, and parole violation.
Other events included a misdemeanor conviction in relation to a brawl that occurred in 2008, as well as several traffic violations in 2014 and 2015. He was also arrested in Broward County, Florida for resisting arrest, battery, and grand theft.
Prior to the shootings, friends and his ex-girlfriend accused him of assault and domestic violence, and issued a restraining order against him. The order was given to him on the day of the shootings and is believed to have been what sparked the event.
They were once colleagues in the U.S. Senate. Republican governor Sam Brownback meets President Barack Obama in Kansas. The president grew up in Kansas with his grandparents for a brief portion of his life.
Three people were murdered along with the terrorist being killed by the law. Over 15 people were injured by gunfire. The suspect had an arsenal of firearms. The most obvious was the AK-47, the most powerful and frequently used firearm in the United States.
A week ago, a terrorist from Kalamazoo killed six innocent people. The former Uber driver was depressed and angry. He would launch an attack on restaurant goers, a father and son at a car dealership and a woman who tried to shield children from the gunfire.
The law managed to catch this terrorist without a single shot fired.
Don't forget about the racial extremists! Jim Hoft, the most dumbest man on the internet and Colin Flaherty, the most racist dick on the internet will exploit this. They're rallying White extremists to prepare themselves against Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims.
By the way, there was another mass shooting in Washington state. Five people including the suspect were killed after a shooting and armed standoff.
World News Today send our condolences to the victims of these senseless tragedies.
Chris Christie bucks Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Ben Carson by endorsing Donald Trump for president.
The failed Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie comes out for Donald Trump. This is a smack to the face of Marco Rubio, the establishment's choice for a nominee. This also is a smack to the face against John Kasich, the Ohio Republican governor.
"I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for president", says Chris Christie.
Christie, the current governor of New Jersey fought Donald Trump while he was running on the stage. Christie at first thought Trump was a joke. He said that Trump's policies aren't tested and we don't want a sideshow as our president.
I guess now he's having second thoughts. Or perhaps this is Christie's retribution against Rubio after he played dirty bull in the New Hampshire primary.
Trump had brought Christie to his press conference in Fort Worth, Texas. The governor said that Trump is the only candidate capable of beating Hillary Clinton.
This is a shocking announcement given that Christie is part of the establishment after he embraced President Barack Obama during his handling of Hurricane Sandy.
Many Republicans blamed Christie for ruining perennial loser Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
Christie is not well liked in his state. Despite landsliding his Democratic opponent in a state that trends even more Democratic, Christie pulled in Black and Hispanic voters. Christie who once had the halo over his head is now heading back to Trenton with his tail in between his legs.
Christie bowing out was a blow to the establishment. With Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Scott Walker and Rick Perry out the race, there's no candidate outside of John Kasich capable of mending the Republican Party together.
Rubio says that he, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson being on stage is a sign of diversity. He said that being endorsed by Nikki Haley and Tim Scott shows the Republicans are the party of diversity.
One thing I managed to catch at the Republican debate is the comments by Marco Rubio. He said that the Republican Party is the most diverse party because they have two Hispanic lawmakers and a Black neurosurgeon on stage.
Given the possibility the party may nominate another old White guy, Rubio desperately played the race card at the CNN debate.
Republicans are struggling to win Hispanics and Black voters. Despite the Republican candidate's bold claims about the party being the most diverse, the party is also too damn conservative and too damn White.
Rubio, Cruz and Ben Carson make up about 10% of the Republican Party's diversity. The party is 90% WHITE and 10% EVERYTHING else.
The Republican Party is White like cocaine. They may have minorities in the party, but the policies and their rhetoric isn't diverse. It's pretty damn condescending and outright bigoted.
Donald Trump's rise could bring Blacks and Hispanics voters into the fold. Some are tempted to vote for the controversial media mogul.
I see Donald Trump as Arnold Schwarzenegger. He will bankroll on his celebrity status to win. His bombastic and witty charm woos conservatives and some Democrats.
Given the possibility of Trump winning the election is strong. I don't want to believe it, but it could happen if you don't help the Democrat win. Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders aren't strong contenders and it's going to be a bumpy road for the Democrats. Given Obama fatigue and an inspired Republican voter base, the Democrats got to win back voters.
It's likely a Democrat could beat the Republican nominee. But given the circumstances, it's going to be a TOSS UP.
Trump has tapped into the populist rage that fuels the anti-government resentment towards lawmakers.
John Kasich, Marco Rubio and even Ted Cruz are considered establishment. Cruz calls himself the best choice to take on Washington. But he's been in Washington for two years and haven't really accomplish much since. He's been more of a talker and not a doer. That's hurting him in the race.
Rubio is also the same. Rubio won on the wave of insurgency. He and Rand Paul were elected in 2010 and they been in the senate for most of their term doing absolutely nothing. Even the compromise to immigration reform that was sponsored by Rubio was voted down by him.
When it comes to diversity the Republican Party has a long way to go before it can truly be a diverse party.
Remember the Democratic Party nominated and the American people elected twice the first Black president.
The first Black U.S. Supreme Court justice was picked by a Democrat.
The first Hispanic woman to serve as a U.S. Supreme court justice was picked by a Democratic president who happens to be Black. The first Black man and woman were nominated and confirmed as the Attorney General of the United States.
The first woman as the Speaker of the House is a woman.
The current front runner in the race is a woman. Her opponent is the first Jewish candidate to run.
The Democratic Party's chairperson is a lawmaker who is a woman.
Under a Democratic President who happens to be Black, marriage equality is legal in the United States.
Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz as well as Donald Trump and John Kasich aren't friends of the Black and Hispanic communities. They're a bunch of myopic dicks.
Shout out to comedian/talk radio host John Fugelsang for also catching the Rubio-Bot self-destruct!
