North Carolina Pass Anti-LGBT Law! Boycotts Begin!

Pressure mounts on inept governor. Pat McCroy pressured to reverse his decision on North Carolina's anti-LGBT law.

The LGBT community fought this all the way to the Supreme Court for the right to marriage and they won. They succeed in getting marriage recognized in all 50 states and 6 territories.

Now they're back again fighting battles in the old south. But this time, our friends who are transgender are fighting for the right to use the public restroom without being summoned to court.

Pat McCrory, the Republican governor of North Carolina signed off anti-discrimination law which seemingly forgot to include North Carolina's LGBT community. The House Bill 2 was signed into law this week causing a major backlash.

Now it's set off a shitstorm of controversy. McCrory actively pushed for the law because according to his supporters, they don't want a hairy face man wearing a dress entering the women's restroom being a total pervert.

The Bathroom Law as many in the junk food media call it says that it bars transgender women and men from using facilities not based on their "biologically given" sex.

North Carolina passed a law that discriminates against transgender Americans.

The resulting legislation went further. Now cities, towns, and counties can't pass anti-discrimination rules beyond a new state standard. And public schools, public college campuses and government agencies must require bathrooms or locker rooms be designated for use only by people based on their biological sex.

McCrory's office released a statement Wednesday night, saying "the basic expectation of privacy in the most personal of settings, a restroom or locker room, for each gender was violated by government overreach and intrusion by the mayor and city council of Charlotte."

The governor also said the "radical breach of trust and security under the false argument of equal access not only impacts the citizens of Charlotte but people who come to Charlotte to work, visit or play. This new government regulation defies common sense and basic community norms by allowing, for example, a man to use a woman's bathroom, shower or locker room."

Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of North Carolina, and Equality North Carolina condemned McCrory's action, and announced after the bill became law that the organizations are exploring legal challenges to the law.

Charlotte, NC. The largest city of North Carolina with a population of 800,000 people.

The resulting legislation is a wide-ranging measure that blocks local governments from passing laws protecting LGBT people, requires schools to designate single-sex bathrooms based on “biological sex” and preempts city policies involving wages, benefits and other workplace regulations.

"Instead of solving any real problems, the law would create new ones and could lead to intolerable and unfair conditions for transgender students who are entitled, by federal law, to a safe and equitable education," said Tara Borello, a senior attorney with Lambda Legal.

Republican majorities in the state House and Senate easily passed House Bill 2, blocking Charlotte's bathroom ordinance.

But something very unusual happened in the Senate - frustrated Democrats refused to vote on the bill, and walked out.

Republicans argued that Charlotte had no authority to approve a city ordinance allowing transgender people to use the restroom aligned to their gender identity, a move to protect transgender citizens who felt intimidated or bullied in public restrooms.

HB2 blocks the ordinance and bars any other local government from enacting a similar measure.

"It's a terrible day for North Carolina. It's a terrible day," said Serena Sebring, a member of Southerner on New Ground, a group who came to oppose the General Assembly's vote. "People are harmed, people are going to be continued to be harmed. I would say shame on this state, shame on our lawmakers."

Social conservative activist Tami Fitzgerald led the fight against Charlotte's ordinance, arguing it gave license to sexual predators to enter the ladies' room.

"We're very pleased with the outcome", Fitzgerald said following the Senate vote. "Really it was just common sense, not to allow men in the women's bathrooms".

North Carolina happened to be facing some major heat from business leaders and activists.

PayPal, Dow Chemical, the NBA, the NCAA, Google and other businesses oppose North Carolina’s new anti-LGBT law.

The NBA All Star Game will be held in Charlotte for the 2016-17 season. They could pull out if the governor stands firm on his decision.

So it's back to the old ways of the Republican Party. The culture war is back in full swing.

White Extremist Offers Black Trump Supporters A Rope To Hang Themselves!

Donald Trump's two Black supporters cooning around with him.

The friends you keep. Diamond and Silk, the two only Black women who openly support the controversial Donald Trump palling around with a White extremist and they didn't even know it.

Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson became famous after they made a video slamming the Fox News host Megyn Kelly after she gave Trump a question about his sexist behavior.

Since then, the two had made videos completely trashing Kelly, President Barack Obama and Republican rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich. They also go after immigrants, Blacks not hip to Trump and those who believe they're coons for support him.

Well for all the success, Diamond and Silk get national attention.

They appear on this radio show hosted by John Friend. The show called American Free Press is a White extremist-themed show. The host is a White extremist, Holocaust denier and fellow Trump supporter.

The show was broadcast on American Free Press, a website that calls itself “independent, populist, and pro-White“ and promotes racist and anti-Semitic views and conspiracy theories.

Ex-San Diego city worker become one of the biggest voices in the White extremist movement.

The two sisters, prompted by Friend, accused immigrants of demanding services and civil rights and somehow depriving Americans of those things.

"It’s time for the American people to be taken care of," said Silk in the interview, first reported by Media Matters. "It’s time for somebody to look out for the American people, and that’s what we love about Donald Trump. Everybody wants to be mad at Donald Trump, but at least he listens to the American people."

The White extremist writes a blog where he spouts racist and anti-Semitic views. He also cites Hitler and Goebbels as his inspirations.

“The only real, authentic kind of Americans there are, considering the racial group that settled, built, founded, and developed this once great nation, are those of White European descent,” he wrote recently.

Friend has said that intermarriage between races will result in “white genocide.” But he kept his views on race under wraps during the interview with the Diamond and Silk and agreed with most of what they said.

“People are tired of being under- or unemployed. We need to bring back good jobs, opportunities for people to be gainfully employed,” said Silk. “People are tired of his divide in our country. It’s time to bring back spirit, it’s time to unite. Remember, this is the United States, not the Divided States, so it’s time for us to come together.”

The friends that Donald Trump keeps are extremists. When will that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity ask Trump about these associations?

Rob Ford Passed Away!

The controversial Rob Ford, former mayor of Toronto passed away.

Toronto's colorful and yet trouble politico passed away last night. Rob Ford, the former mayor of Canada's largest city was facing a whole lot of issues. Two issues that seemed to haunt him was his admitted affairs on his wife. But what really got him was his addiction to cocaine and heroin.

He was busted for drinking and driving. He was always under the influence of something when he doing his presser. His misfortunes became the talk of Canada and the world.

Ford admitted that he's not perfect. He kindly reminded his citizens that he's going to get hammered after ending his presser.

Ford had been diagnosed with pleomorphic liposarcoma, a rare form of soft-tissue cancer, in September of 2014, amid a heated re-election battle. The illness forced him to withdraw his candidacy for a second term to focus on cancer treatments.

Rob Ford opening up one of Donald Trump's luxury hotels.

He was elected to the Toronto City Council in 2014 in spite of his tumultuous past history with inappropriate behavior that included alleged sexual harassment and drug abuse. He was always a good source of entertainment and will forever be remembered for the following quote:

I’m a sick motherfucker, dude.

Rob passed away at the age of 46. He was married to his longtime wife, Renata Brejniak and had two children.

Ford was a bombastic and larger-than-life personality who spoke bluntly, traits that helped him craft an image as a champion of the working class.

When running for mayor, he campaigned as an anti-politician who would cut the size of government and stand up to what he called "big-city elites."

"Toronto's government has grown bloated and wasteful," he said in a campaign video. "It's time to stop the gravy train that provides luxuries and perks to politicians and rich contracts to their friends."

Before his death, Ford mentioned his sins had finally caught up to him. He had no regrets about his troubles. He was a real class act to the people of Toronto.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered Canadian flags lowered in his honor.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Rob Ford.

Phife Dawg Passed Away!

Phife Dawg passed away after complications from diabetes.

A hip-hop legend passed away. The Associated Press reports that Phife Dawg of the rap group A Tribe Called Quest had passed away at the age of 45 today.

He was battling diabetes. He's been going through kidney treatment for most of his life.

Born Malik Isaac Taylor, the rapper grew up in Queens with fellow rappers, Q-Tip, Jabori and their producer Ali.

Phife stood at 5'3'' and was known by many as the Five Foot Assassin. He collaborate with the likes of De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers, the Native Tongues and Leaders of the New School.

Phife was known for his rhyming skills and his status as what the magazine calls the "high-pitched, gruff vocal counterpoint to [bandmate] Q-Tip's smooth, mellow flow." Although an official cause of death has yet to be announced, the magazine notes that Phife had suffered from various health issues, including diabetes that spurred a 2008 kidney transplant. "It's really a sickness," Phife said in an interview for an ATCQ rap documentary by actor/director Michael Rapaport. "Like straight-up drugs. I'm just addicted to sugar."

He also released one solo album, Ventilation: Da LP, in 2000 and had been working on a new album, Give Thanks, due out this year.

Ali, Phife and Q-Tip are A Tribe Called Quest.

The rap group reunited in 2004 when Wu-Tang Clan's Ol' Dirty Bastard passed away. They appeared together for the tribute to the troubled rapper.

The group went on tour for a brief moment and it sold out shows. The last time the rap group reunited was their recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The group performed "Can I Kick It?" which was their first TV performance in 15 years.

E! Online has compiled social media tributes to the late rapper from fans, friends, and industry icons, including hip-hop magnate Russell Simmons, who tweeted, "Damn. #RIPPhife one of the greatest to bless the mic," and Public Enemy rapper Chuck D, who posted, "Rest In Beats PHIFE ATCQ Forever."

Ted Cruz Gets Bush Whacked!

Ted Cruz getting backing from failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush.

The gift and the curse.

Right now, the junk food media is pounding on Ted Cruz. His controversial rhetoric in the wake of the tragedy in Brussel, Belgium has the nation talking. The so-called constitutional conservative wants to law enforcement to do profiling of Muslims living in the United States. So he's willing to take away religious freedom and the right to speech because of an event in another country.

Cruz blasted President Barack Obama for not saying "radical Islam" and attending a diplomatic baseball game with the former nemesis of Cuba. The Texas senator is struggling to win support from the mainstream Republicans. The establishment is slowly wrapping its tentacles around Cruz, the so-called outsider of Washington, DC.

Failed presidential candidates Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush thrown their support to Cruz. They figure that Cruz could stop the momentum Donald Trump's gotten.

Bush released a presser.

"Today, I am endorsing Ted Cruz for President. Ted is a consistent, principled conservative who has demonstrated the ability to appeal to voters and win primary contests. Washington is broken, and the only way Republicans can hope to win back the White House and put our nation on a better path is to support a nominee who can articulate how conservative policies will help people rise up and reach their full potential.

For the sake of our party and country, we must move to overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity Donald Trump has brought into the political arena, or we will certainly lose our chance to defeat the Democratic nominee and reverse President Obama’s failed policies. To win, Republicans need to make this election about proposing solutions to the many challenges we face, and I believe that we should vote for Ted as he will do just that."

Trump is forward marching toward the nomination and Republicans fear that he could destroy the party. Cruz's endorsement from Graham and Bush could be a noose around his neck. The insurgency might turn against him for these endorsements.

Many conservatives believe that Bush's endorsement of Cruz is a farce. They seriously believe that he's trying to murky the waters for a contested convention. Cause they really don't like Cruz. They really, really don't like Trump.

But do you seriously believe Cruz is probably the only viable candidate left capable of taking on Trump?

Conservative Outrage Over Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda!

Conservatives complain about the president being at a baseball game in Cuba and not in Washington watching the events happening in Belgium. The Obamas and Raul Castro (right) enjoy a Tampa Bay Rays game.

The tongue is the only muscle that Republicans use when it comes to fighting terrorism. 

If saying divisive statements, profiling groups and threatening unknown assailants is the key to stopping terrorism, then I think we're doomed. It wouldn't make sense for the president to stop what he's doing to show up in Belgium. He would be a distraction and it won't accomplish nothing.

The president already ordered law enforcement agencies to aid Belgium. He is working with the State Department to find out if any Americans are hurt during the Brussels attack.

It didn't happen in the United States. It could happen. I mean the "NICE GUY" is the most dangerous person to have a firearm and an explosive device. If it happened in the United States, he would immediately head back home to handle the situation.

Conservative outrage over the president being in Cuba and Argentina than rushing back to Washington, DC for a terrorist attack in Belgium.

See many in the junk food media already saw it coming. They knew the conservative agitators would waste no time attacking President Barack Obama for not acting tough on terrorism.

In a historical visit to the island nation of Cuba, the president address the junk food media. Obama hopes to repair the relations to the Communist nation that the U.S. considered an enemy for over 50 years.


The president watched a baseball game. The Tampa Bay Rays got an opportunity to play a baseball game with the Cubans as a part of an American-Cuban exhibition game.

All three GOP presidential candidates condemned the president's moves this morning.

'President Obama is spending his time going to baseball games with the Castros,' said Sen. Ted Cruz, who is running for the Republican nomination for president, according to reporting from ABC News' Rick Klein.

Cruz, who is half-Cuban, had already come out against the Obama family's historic trip to Cuba this week, but the fact that the president's schedule will stay intact after the attacks was more salt on the wound.

Ted Cruz immediately went into this rant about the president not saying "radial Islam".

Attacks in Belgium kills nearly 50 people.

Cruz believed that if the feds and local law enforcement agencies would profile Muslims, then none of this stuff could happen in the United States.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, also running for president, soon chimed in making a similar demand.

'The president must return home immediately and get to work with our allies to respond with strength against the enemies of the west,' Kasich wrote.

Not to be outdone, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump soon chimed in.

'President Obama looks and sounds so ridiculous making his speech in Cuba, especially in the shadows of Brussels. He is being treated badly!' The Donald tweeted.

Donald Trump said that he was right on the Brussels attack. He called the president pathetic for not stopping his Cuban trip to return back to the United States. Trump once called Brussels a "hellhole" for it's diverse population which happens to include Muslims and immigrants from Syria.

Conservatives agitators in the junk food media were screaming out the anal cavities watching the president doing the wave at the baseball game.

See what the conservative fail to understand is that if we fear terrorism, they will win. Terrorists want to disrupt lives of people. We already know that. This stuff existed since.

What angers me is the fact that 324 million people should just stop what we're doing because a tragedy occurred in a foreign country.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND CONSERVATIVES GIVE THE TERRORISTS ACCESS TO FIREARMS. 

THE REPUBLICANS ARE MAKING IT EASIER FOR TERRORISTS TO OBTAIN EXPLOSIVES AND FIREARMS BECAUSE OF THEIR INEPT RESPONSE TO GUN VIOLENCE.

Desperate Ted Cruz now calls for profiling of American Muslims.

President Obama spoke today by phone with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel to offer his condolences on behalf of the American people following today’s horrific terrorist attacks in Brussels. The President reaffirmed the steadfast support of the United States for Belgium, and offered any assistance necessary in investigating these attacks and bringing those responsible to justice. The President reiterated that the United States stands together with the people of Belgium, as well as NATO and the European Union, and once again pledged the full cooperation and support of the United States in our shared commitment to defeat the scourge of terrorism.

World News Today send our condolences to those lost in this senseless tragedy.
