Big victory for Bernie Sanders. The junk food media took an iconic picture of the Democratic candidate smiling while a bird landed on his podium.
Last week they were writing his campaign off. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the Democratic candidate for president won a swept yesterday.
Sanders pulls off healthy victories in the caucuses and primaries. The states of Washington, Idaho and Hawaii gave Bernie Sanders a healthy victory.
The junk food media barely covered it. Matter of fact, they ignored the fact that turnout was huge for the Democratic candidates.
The momentum that Bernie's getting is showing that the Democrats aren't the only ones with problems.
Hillary Clinton is leading in most national polls. But she could lose to John Kasich, Ted Cruz and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
Bernie Sanders performs way better against the three.
Congratulations to Bernie Sanders on his huge victory.
Delegate count so far has Hillary Clinton at 1728 and Bernie Sanders at 1034.
Now the candidates are taking a minor break from campaigning to celebrate Easter. They will be back on the campaign trail soon. Wisconsin is coming up and the candidates will fight for the votes.
Scott Walker, the failed presidential candidate hasn't endorsed a candidate yet. Milwaukee County sheriff and conservative agitator David Clarke, Jr. will be given more unwanted attention as well.
#BlackLivesMatter will be protesting the candidates if they land in Madison, Milwaukee and Green Bay.
A flight attendant was busted for trafficking the snow at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport).
She thought that she could have passed through the TSA with her luggage. She thought wrong. They asked her for a secondary screening.
It turned out that she didn't want to participate in the secondary screening. The flight attendant would bolt from the TSA leaving her luggage and her luxury Gucci pumps behind.
Well inside that luggage and her Gucci pumps was snow. Lots of snow. The TSA found nearly 70 lbs of cocaine, a package of condoms and cash.
The flight attendant for JetBlue was named as Marsha Gay Reynolds, an Jamaican born woman who once was a beauty pageant contestant.
She was off-duty when she flashed her identification to the TSA. They looked at her like she's up to something. So they decided to make her squirm a bit.
I guess that was a good call, because if they allowed her on to flight, all that coke would have been shipped through the government.
Well Reynolds managed to escape the law for a moment. She would take flight at Bob Hope in Burbank to head to New York. The feds were waiting for her.
Bricks. All White bricks wrapped in green.
Now she is waiting extradition to Los Angeles to face some serious charges. These charges could put the pretty woman in federal time out for LIFE.
Reynolds is innocent until proven guilty.
Reynolds is also considered a high alert for escape. So they confiscated her passport and held her without a get out free card.
Beauty without the brains.
JetBlue is not pleased about this. They are working with the feds to out anyone else involved in the smuggling of cocaine, weapons and explosives.
The TSA comes under fire for this. They may have involuntarily allowed individuals smuggle illegal activity on flights here and abroad. The potential of a terrorist smuggling explosives through friends who work for airports came into question after a Russian airliner crashed after a worker smuggled a bomb the size of a Pespi bottle onto a flight.
John Crawford is dead. Sean Williams is facing a cannon firing. But what about the 911 caller? Ronald Ritchie moved out of the area and went into hiding. Protesters with #BlackLivesMatter hope to bring him out of hiding to face criminal charges.
We haven't forgotten about the shooting in Beavercreek, Ohio. We haven't forgotten about Officer Sean Williams killing John Crawford III, a Black man without warning. Williams the officer who was dispatched to a Dayton area Walmart believed that John was carrying a firearm. The officer and his partner Dave Darkow were called to the store on a false 911.
John Crawford was shopping in Walmart and managed to pick up an open air rifle. While he was walking through the store, he was on the phone with the mother of his children.
Ronald Ritchie, a White shopper was nearby. He saw John on the phone with the air rifle. In his mind, he believed that John was being rude on the phone. So he concocted this story about John loading a firearm and was pointing it at shoppers. He called 911 and told them that story and it brought the Beavercreek Police out within one minute.
As John was talking on the phone, the officers creeped up near the pet supplies aisle. John was still on the phone when the officers claimed they gave him verbal disengagement warnings. That didn't happen so Williams fired.
Ritchie went into hiding after the John Crawford shooting.
According to John's ex-girlfriend, she heard screams on the phone and the words, "It's not real!" before another shot was fired.
As the officers approached John on the ground, they arrested him. He was bleeding badly. So they call for an ambulance and take the injured to the hospital. John would die of his injuries.
The panic of gunfire had gotten to a shopper. Angela Williams was near the event. She would have a heart attack in front of her children. She was taken to the hospital and died a heart attack.
Ritchie, the only person on the phone who called 911 was grilled intensely. He said that John deserved it because he caused the panic. When the Beavercreek Police and FBI shown the video, he changed his tune.
The junk food media pressed for the video's release. Ohio's Attorney General Mike DeWine refused to publish it citing potential backlash.
An Ohio grand jury would find the officers not liable in the death of John.
Despite Ohio being an "open carry" state, John's action according to the grand jury were merit for police response. The grand jury decided that even if they saw John on the phone, not pointing the air rifle at customers, and standing away from officers, his death was justified.
John Crawford death brought a lot of attention to Tasha Thomas. Thomas was grilled intensively by Beavercreek cops. She was threatened with jail time for something her boyfriend didn't do. Thomas's would die a few months later in a fatal car accident.
Sean Williams is facing a potential cannon firing after this. He may have lied on his statements. He is currently doing desk work while he's under federal watch for reckless calls past and present.
John's family field a wrongful death lawsuit against Beavercreek, Walmart and DeWine. The girlfriend that John was dating at the time was Tasha Thomas. Her family was suing Beavercreek for unlawful restraint.
Tasha and her new boyfriend were killed in a tragic car accident.
Ritchie managed to skirt the junk food media. He would eventually move out of Dayton and is living out of state. Ritchie is hoping that his new neighbors never heard of him and his role in the shooting.
They hope the judge would hear the case and force Ritchie to return to Ohio to face criminal charges.
Ritchie shut down his social media and has not spoken to the junk food media since the protesters petition.
Me and S. Baldwin haven't forgotten about John Crawford. He was killed by the Ohio laws that were supposed to protect his right to carry a firearm in public without fear of arrest. If he was a White guy carrying an actual firearm, they would have waited until he would have fired on people before they would take action.
The median age of the candidates is 64 years old. With the exception of Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders, most of the candidates running are in their 60s. Ted Cruz is 45. John Kasich is 63. Donald Trump is 69. Hillary Clinton is 69. Bernie Sanders is 74.
No love for them.
Republicans and Democrats aren't inspired to vote the candidates. They all pretty much suck and it's disappointing to all Americans that each candidate has flaws.
None of them aren't catching the fire that Barack Obama lit in the 2008 and 2012 elections. Don't listen to the nonsense about Donald Trump's rallies being huge. It's just not like Obama's.
Trump's negatives in polls are a driving force to Republican operatives plotting to disrupt his coronation.
We're in the later stages of a primary. The Republican and Democratic primaries are still ongoing and it seems like Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are still in this.
Americans are tired of politics and the divisive nonsense of the politicos.
If allowed to run a third term, Obama would clobber the Republican nominee.
The conservative Craigslist says that Republicans aren't happy about the delegate progress as well as their chances of stopping a potential Hillary Clinton nomination.
Gallup Polling reports that thirty percent of Americans say the presidential election process is working as it should, down from 37% in January. The decline is driven mainly by Republicans' increasingly cynical views as the campaign season has progressed. The percentage of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who say the election process is working has fallen from 46% to 30% since January. Democrats' and Democratic leaners' views haven't changed.
If you ask me, if the 22nd Amendment wasn't installed in the U.S. Constitution, President Barack Obama would win reelection handily over the Republican nominee.
Sometimes I rather have Obama run a third term instead of just giving it up after 8 years of a contentious Republican obstruction.
Republicans are destroying each other and the country in their quest to stop Obama's policies. It's an unfortunate circumstance that if a Republican does win the presidency, Democrats will do the same shit only worse.
Sometimes, it's better to not vote at all. But if you don't vote, you may losing all the accomplishments that Americans fought for.
World News Today send our condolences to Gary Shandling, the famed comedian and entertainer had passed away in Los Angeles of a major heart attack on Wednesday. Rest in peace to one of America's greatest comedian legends. He died at age 66.
Ted Cruz posing with Katrina Pierson, a Black Republican activist. There are allegations of Cruz having an affair with her and numerous other women.
Let's get the minor stuff out of way.
Donald Trump's odds at winning the Republican nomination is 85%.
Chances at being the U.S. President is now sitting at 43%.
Hillary Clinton chances at nomination is 92%.
Chances at being the U.S. president is now sitting at 51%.
What a person does in the bedroom is none of our business. But since we live in a country where this stuff is gold for ratings and click bait, it's a part of the daily grind. Here's my take on it.
Who gives a crap about what someone's love life. If the person is accused or confirmed of cheating on their spouse, then that's between the person and his loved one.
It's nothing new. The tabloids want to get into the personal business of a presidential candidate.
It is a part of the junk food media culture to humiliate human nature. I understand that people have feelings. Love and lust are a part of the sexual induced culture that creates iconic figures like Kim Kardashian.
Yesterday, the National Enquirer reported that the Texas senator had numerous affairs with staffers, agitators in the junk food media, a hooker and a schoolteacher. Some of the mistresses were notable for being in the junk food media defending Cruz from Donald Trump.
Notable names include Katrina Pierson, the failed Black Republican congressional candidate who became an activist for Tea Party Patriots. She was a Trump supporter before a Cruz supporter and defender.
Amanda Carpenter is a writer for Conservative Review and agitator on CNN. Sarah Isgur Flores is a Republican strategist for then failed presidential candidate Carly Fiorina's campaign were alleged mistresses.
Pierson and Flores aren't married. Carpenter is married.
All the women accused have denied the allegations. Cruz went to the junk food media to slam the National Enquirer and Trump for spreading the false and vile nonsense.
The hashtag #CruzSexScandal is trending and it's got the nation talking.
Amanda Carpenter, Katrina Pierson and Sarah Isgur Flores were alleged mistresses.
Matter of fact, if the allegations are true, it could damage Ted Cruz's campaign.
Ted Cruz will fall from grace like Joe McCarthy. Cruz's star power with conservatives will diminish.
And it could affect his marriage and open the door to Federal Election Commission investigations of alleged misuse of campaign money. Cruz's SuperPac agreed to pay off failed presidential candidate Carly Fiorina's campaign $500,000. Some call it "hush money".
When conservatives were obsessing over allegations of cheating from 42, they singled him out for being a hound dog. They attack Hillary Clinton for standing by her husband despite Monica Lewinsky. To this day, some agitators (i.e. that annoying agitator Sean Hannity) will rehash the Clinton sex scandals to try to make the issue about Hillary Clinton's trust with the nation.
Now we know that Donald Trump is cheater himself. But no one seems to care about that. Trump is the frontrunner in the Republican race for the nomination and he is fighting dirty to win. He's tapped into what Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan's base of Americans.
Republicans are scrambling for a way to stop him before he clinch the nomination. The controversial business and media mogul has warned the Republicans Ted Cruz and John Kasich that "time's up".
The dirty season begins.
If it's confirmed that Ted Cruz had numerous sexual affairs, will it damage his presidential campaign?
Here's a video of a Washington Times reporter Adriana Cohen flat out going there with conservative agitator Amanda Carpenter. It caught CNN host Kate Bolduan by surprise.
Matter of fact. Here's something that should sum up my opinion on the Cruz sex scandal.
Heidi Cruz isn't off the table. Donald Trump goes after her looks.
The junk food media up in arms over a little spat between Republicans rivals Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. They're fighting over which wife is the hottest!
Donald Trump launched an attack on Heidi Cruz. He retweets a photo from his supporter.
Of course, Cruz fell into the trap. Trump was pissed that perennial loser Mitt Romney took a dump on his ex-wives. He married women who were born in foreign countries.
Romney's SuperPac went after Trump's wife Melania. Romney came out for Cruz for president.
Sorry, Ted, we're a downright mean country! You better get used to it if you're running for President of the United States. You say pretty nasty things about President Barack Obama and got away with it.
It's fair game. Donald Trump doesn't follow the standards. Nor do you!
Your sexist and downright bigoted attacks on women, people of color, Hillary Clinton, #BlackLivesMatter and the president haven't been answered yet.
Tabloid claims Cruz had affairs with numerous women.
I call it irony. If you're such a constitutional conservative, have you forgotten that the freedom of speech is a part of the First Amendment?
Who says that it's not fair for Trump to target your wife and children?
Where were you when that old fart Rush Limbaugh went on radio to bitch about First Lady Michelle Obama?
That old fart was complaining about the First Lady telling Argentine girls about the sexist rhetoric from her former friends. Limbaugh believes that Obama should be happy she's getting cat called by men.
You better hope that the tabloids ain't digging into your personal business. I mean there's allegations from a junk food media rag saying that you've been getting it in.
The National Enquirer accuses Cruz of having five mistresses. Some of the mistresses could be lobbyists and television personalities. Already the junk food media speculate that Cruz-supporters Amanda Carpenter and Katrina Pierson are the alleged mistresses.
Nixon's war on drugs was a way to stop Blacks and liberal activists.
Richard Milhous Nixon, the disgraced 37th President of the United States had enemies list. The Black community and liberal activists were on that list.
It's no secret that Nixon plotted with Republicans to make Blacks the villains. He practically made Blacks Lives Miserable. Look at the War on Drugs. The federal government's broad outreach to curb drug related criminal acts were mainly targeted to Blacks and Hispanics.
John Ehrlichman, a former advisor for domestic policy dropped a shocking tale of what went on in the Nixon administration.
Dan Baum who writes for Harper's Magazine wrote that Ehrlichman said some real hater shit back in the 1990s. Baum who was doing research on drug prohibition politics, got an earful.
"You know what this was really all about?" he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the NIxon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and Black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, radi their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did!"
John Ehrlichman plotted with Nixon to take out Black leaders and hippies.
What Ehrlichman was saying that if you create the masses with stories of Black on whatever violence we can push White resentment towards Blacks.
So when #BlackLivesMatters activists are addressing the deaths of unarmed citizens at the hands of law enforcement, Republicans would vilify the victim and make the case that Blacks are against law enforcement.
So when #BlackLivesMatters activists are addressing the prison industrial complex and how it's destroying Black families, Republicans would vilify the black man, the single mother with children and the safety net. They would say that abortions and single parenting are destroying the Black community. They say that Black men are more prone to violence. They would say that Blacks are taking advantage of the government by not working, screaming racism and not accepting the status quo.
Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were Republicans who spoke to the Silent Majority. White resentment is at an all time high. The rise of Donald Trump is a perfect example of what Nixon's failed policies brought upon the country.
Trump is tapping into that audience. He's saying things that your White friends may say in private.
It's there and many Americans are seeing it unfold. With the first Black president, we always expected that White resentment could be high.
But after two terms of Barack Obama and the constant attacks upon him and the Black community, we expect Republicans to do all they can to win over White voters at the expense of everyone else.
Let's be clear: The War on Drugs is a failure.
Nixon will always be regarded as one of the worst presidents in modern history. It's a shame that George W. Bush will be regarded a little better than Nixon.
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.
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?
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 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.
A Tribe Called Quest released five albums before disbanding. They had a minor fallout over management and the label Jive Records. Q-Tip and Phife hadn't spoke in eight years.
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."
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Phfie Dawg. Rest in peace homie!
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?
