What happens on the road becomes fodder for social media. A road rage incident in Houston, Texas lead to a physical assault. The Houston metro police are searching for the people involved.
Again once this stuff hits the webs, it's there forever. It could cost the individuals involved, their driver's licenses, their jobs and possibly their freedom.
The person who filmed the incident went to the junk food media to enlighten the public about how ignorant these people are.
David Dao was with his daughter when she recorded the drama on FM 1960 at U.S. 290 in suburban Houston. Of course, she posted it on social media and it lit up a shitstorm of controversy.
A white vehicle was trying to pass a truck at a turn lane but it refused the pass. So I guess one of the people involved got out of the vehicle and confronted the other vehicle and all chaos erupts.
In the video it shows a man trying to calm down a woman who is arguing with another man, who is a passenger inside a white car.
The woman is then seen going back to the white car and saying something to the passenger, who threw a drink at her. The video shows the truck driver coming back into view and kicking the white car's grille.
A brawl erupted as the driver and passenger from the white car chased after the driver of the truck and began serving him a five finger roll with a side toejam jelly. The video shows the woman screaming and trying to break up the fight.
One of the people gave her the five finger roll. The man and woman got back into the truck and slammed their vehicle into the white car and sped off on U.S. 290. The white car sped after them.
Dao told the junk food media that the four people involved in the fight were close to hitting his car.
Dao remained calm in his vehicle and asked others to not get involved. He wanted to get out the car but feared the people fighting would see his daughter filming them and go after her.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office has no record of an accident reported, so it's not known what happened to the drivers once they took off.
If they are found, each individual will be charged with battery, reckless endangerment and disturbing the peace. No names were revealed at the time. They are innocent until proven guilty.
Trump is considering a gasbag for his running mate.
The controversial presumptive Republican nominee is considering a washed up politician as his running mate. Would he pick him and risk a hail mary?
Newt Gingrich the failed 2012 Republican presidential candidate is being floated around as the possible vice presidential candidate to Donald J. Trump.
Oh great, the guy who once called President Barack Obama, the "food stamp president".
This washed up politician was once a House Speaker. He was part of the great Republican Revolution. He was the biggest headache to then president Bill Clinton. Now that his wife, former first lady Hillary Clinton is running for president, the Republicans are dusting off their old playbook to target her as an enabler of her husband's alleged affairs.
Around that time, Republicans were hoping to have Bill Clinton removed from office after he lied about having an affair with intern Monica Lewinsky. The Republicans were pushing this "family values" nonsense.
All the while, Newt was getting it on with a lobbyist named Callista Bisek. He was once married to a woman who was his teacher. He would have an affair on her with another woman who was an author of his crappy biography. He would deliver the news of a divorce to his first wife while being treated for cancer. After six years of marriage to his second wife, he would have this affair with this lobbyist who is currently his wife. She is 26 years younger than him.
Gingrich is a hack. He's a hypocrite, a serial cheater and moron. He needs to crawl back under a goddamn rock.
The "Contract with America" was a Republican pledge to destroy the middle class. The policies and laws passed by the Republicans created the gap that made the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Islamophobic Republican lawmaker calls Asian-Americans an offensive slur!
Republican Peter King, the Islamophobic congressman from New York says "Japs" on a television program and he refuses to apologize for the comments.
King isn't a fan of Donald Trump. He was a supporter of Jeb Bush and later Marco Rubio.
He was on Morning Joe discussing his frustration with Republicans supporting the controversial billionaire.
King claims that Trump's foreign policy experience is dangerous for America.
"National defense and homeland security are issues that mean the most to me and there's real issues with him, real problems with his views," King said.
"I don't know if he's thought them through or it's just like the guy at the end of the bar that says, 'Oh, screw them, bomb them, kill them, pull out, bring them home. You know, why pay for the Japs, why pay for the Koreans?'"
Now given the language, many in the Asian American community were offended. The use of the word "Japs" was to depict Japanese-Americans who were interned into detention camps during the peak of the Asian-Pacific war (World War II).
The video of King's comment was posted on YouTube, along with a statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) National Executive Director Nihad Awad urging King to "refrain from further use of derogatory language targeting any national, ethnic or minority group."
King responded to the backlash: "The remark is entirely in the context of saying why I am not campaigning for Trump, defending the continued presence of American troops in Japan and Korea and criticizing the candidate who like the 'guy at the end of the bar' is unthinking and mindlessly anti-Japanese. It is absolute intellectual dishonesty to characterize my comment as anti-Japanese or anti-Asian when I am satirizing and criticizing bias and ignorance."
King previously defended his use of the term to The Hill, saying, "We're getting too politically correct. Let's not get overly sensitive here."
This is how Republicans and Donald Trump think of Asian Americans, Muslims and minorities.
NBC gives critically acclaimed sitcom a third season. The Carmichael Show is a very good comedy.
The NBC comedy featuring Jerrod Carmichael, Loretta Devine and David Alan Grier will be on for a third season. After three weeks of patience and a lot of talk behind the scenes, NBC announces that the comedy is a go for season three. They preordered a 13-episode season.
The issue was how NBC was going to order 10 episodes instead of 20th Century Fox TV's request for a full 13 episode season.
The Carmichael Show is extremely good. But it's not a ratings draw according to NBC. The critically acclaimed sitcom was on the bubble. Tonight I am happy to announce that The Carmichael Show will return in the fall.
Inspired by the life and comedy of stand-up comic Carmichael, The Carmichael Show follows Jerrod and his opinionated Southern family as they reluctantly deal with modern-day America knocking at their front door. Nothing is off limits, including religion, sex, politics, mental health and gender identity. David Alan Grier, Loretta Devine, Amber Stevens West, Rel Howery and Tiffany Haddish co-star. Danielle Sanchez-Witzel is the showrunner.
But the price was heavy for every other show that was featured on the struggling network.
Eva Longoria's sitcom Telenovela, Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris, Crowded, Game of Silence, Heartbeat, Heroes Reborn, The Mysteries of Laura, The Player, Truth Be Told, Undateable and You, Me and the Apocalypse were canceled.
America Ferrera's sitcom Superstore survives for a season two.
CBS also announced the CW will pickup Supergirl for Season 2. The show was costly to CBS and the move to the CW will give the show more flexibility. Supergirl will join Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. The CW kept most of their shows and I am very happy about the network keeping Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, iZombie and Jane The Virgin. These shows were critically acclaimed and were on the bubble.
Even though the critics praised the musical dramedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the ratings weren't good.
Rachel Bloom, the series star and producer won a Golden Globe for her role on the show and the CW gave her an opportunity to keep the show viable for a second season.
ABC canceled The Muppets. The reboot of the lovable characters didn't muster enough support.
Nashville was a shocking announcement. The musical drama was prepped for a season five but ABC decided that it's curtains. Fans are hoping that Netflix or Hulu will work out a deal.
The Mindy Project survived a breathe of life. When Fox canceled the show, fan outcry drove a petition to get it on Hulu. So far, it's on Hulu and will likely be in syndication soon.
I will give my honest take on the U.S. 2016-17 TV season in August.
Macklemore talks about drug abuse with President Barack Obama.
Rapper Macklemore had an opportunity to discuss a very personal issue in President Barack Obama's weekly address. He was in attendance of the White House at a dinner for the Nordic leaders and had an opportunity to address an issue that affected him and his family.
In the weekly address, Obama pressed on Congress to pass legislation to help curb heroin addiction.
Macklemore will be the first rapper in history to involved in presidential message to the nation.
Macklemore, 32, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, has been open about his prescription-drug and alcohol addictions. He was first arrested at 15 and ended up in King County Juvenile Drug Court. He entered rehab in 2008. During the Saturday address, he mentioned his friend Kevin, who died at 21 from an overdose of painkillers.
The hip-hop artist is sober, but his struggle with addiction is an ongoing process, he’s said previously.
Macklemore who became a mainstream success with the hit single "Thrift Shop" was there to discuss the heroin epidemic. The epidemic is spreading across the country and the law can't stop it. He is a Grammy award winning rapper/producer and actor.
“Addiction is like any other disease — it doesn’t discriminate,” Macklemore said during the address. “It doesn’t care what color you are, whether you’re a guy or a girl, rich or poor, whether you live in the inner city, a suburb, or rural America. This doesn’t just happen to other people’s kids or in some other neighborhood. It can happen to any of us.”
Macklemore is “an advocate who’s giving voice to a disease we too often whisper about: the disease of addiction,” Obama said.
A conversation between Obama and Macklemore on opioid addiction — and what can be done to address the problem — will air on MTV this summer.
Heroin and Fentanyl are extremely addictive drugs. My former friend is either dead or surviving on a thread. She was inspiring to be a travel agent and worked a local hotel in Dayton. She quit the job to become a prostitute who sells her body on Backpage. I once had feelings for her and sympathy. I tried to help her by giving her a number to a friend who is a therapist. She refused help and said that she rather "get high and die"!
I gave up on her after she was allegedly dating a local dope pusher. So it's been over five months since I've last talked to her. I don't know if she's still alive.
Heroin (or Boy for street slang) has the White girls and boys going crazy.
White people are addicted to heroin came directly from addiction to pain killers and medication.
It's claimed over 40,000 people's lives a year. And the issue is getting worse. Matter of fact, HIV, the deadly disease is being spread faster through needle sharing and unprotected sex with an alleged user.
Do you know someone who is addicted to pain killers or heroin?
This cartoonist wanted to poke fun at First Lady Michelle Obama and Melania Trump, the wife of presumptive Republican nominee Donald J. Trump.
This cartoonist is gaga for Trump. He makes it no secret that he's no fan of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
He goes all out with a sexist and borderline racist depiction of the first lady looking like a "man".
Check this nonsense out for yourself.
The cartoon was published by Ben Garrison who entitled this piece #MakeTheFirstLadyGreatAgain.
This cartoon gives the impression that the First Lady is a transexaul or a butch. Regardless of this, this is an example of what Republicans think of the First Lady of the United States, who happens to be a Black woman.
A professional Black woman who a mother. A woman went to Princeton and the Harvard Law School to become an educated lawyer is regarded by the sexist, Islamophobic, homophobic racists as a "transexual".
The cartoonist who drew this shit. Ben Garrison claims he's a "One Man Klan".
This is an insult towards Black women, transgender women and White women. To depict Melania Trump only as a beauty model instead of a business mogul is sexist too.
To make the impression that White women are more feminine than Black women is pretty damn racist.
Garrison claims he's a "One Man Klan" on the illustrations. You should see how he depicts Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
This is how Ben Garrison depicts Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
He believes political correctness is killing America.
Garrison's cartoon shows the public that Trump isn't supportive of women's rights.
Dayton man was hurt after being confronted over his relationship with a White woman.
Just when you thought that it couldn't happen in my community, here comes this bit of news. A Black man was treated from injuries sustained from an attack perceived as a hate crime. It happened in my city of Dayton, Ohio.
WHIO reports that the victim claimed that he was harassed by the attacker because he was involved with a woman who was White.
The alleged attack happened on Friday. The attacker had called the victim racial slurs and tried to instigate a fight. This ongoing conflict started over a four day period.
The victim was working on a door when the attack happened. The attacker pulled out a knife and swiped the victim in the arm.
The victim grabbed a hammer that was nearby and fought back and the attacker ran away after accidentally cutting himself with his own knife.
Dayton Police are searching for witnesses. If the suspect is caught, he will face felonious assault charges and if the situation turns out to be racial angst, then the feds may charge him with violation of the civil rights. Each charge could land the suspect in the iron college for 10 years.
Twitter puts an end to the trolling. Azealia Banks popped off one too many times and now she'll pay for it.
The Queen of Mean got blocked on social media after making a racially homophobic set of posts.
Azealia Banks, the rapper and fashion model once again creates a shitstorm and it's finally taken a toll with the folks over at Twitter. Banks engaged in a feud with former One Direction star Zayn Malik.
Banks also lost her performance gig. She is banned from performing in the United Kingdom.
Banks went in the wrong direction on Tuesday when she took offense to some of Malik's tweets, which she assumed were aimed at her. She responded with inflammatory tweets about the former One Direction member which included racial and gay slurs.
Then Banks decided to aim at a Disney actress. 14-year-old Disney Skai Jackson wasn't spared from the word vomit that rapper posted on social media. This one created a ton of buzz. Banks went after the young star in a series of insulting tweets after Jackson tweeted, "Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little."
The Guardian reports that Banks, who rose to fame after the release of her 2012 debut single 212, and recently caused a stir when she publicly endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, has become well known for her inflammatory and unfiltered Twitter presence.
She has feuded on social media with Rita Ora and Lily Allen, and used homophobic slurs in one particularly memorable spat with blogger Perez Hilton.
In one instance, she tweeted in a derogatory fashion about the more than three dozen women who have come forward over the last year or so with accusations of sexual assault against Bill Cosby.
In September 2015 she allegedly attacked a man who blocked her path when she was trying to disembark a flight in Los Angeles, and used another homophobic slur against a flight attendant who tried to step in.
Trump's former butler is an old troll. He threatened President Barack Obama and has used racial slurs online.
Looks like we're well on our way to the long hot summer. The Trump campaign had to put some distance from a former butler who now runs one of Donald Trump's properties after it was revealed that he posted on social media threats towards President Barack Obama.
Anthony Senecal, who worked as Donald Trump's butler for 17 years before being named the in-house historian at the tycoon's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, has repeatedly published posts on his Facebook page that express profound hatred for Obama and declare he should be killed.
Senecal, who is 84, says he has been employed at Mar-a-Lago since about 1959. Trump acquired the property in 1985, and Senecal remained on staff. "As [Trump] says, I came with the furniture," Senecal remarks. About seven years later, he became the butler for the celebrity mogul who is now the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee. In 2009, Senecal informed Trump he wanted to resign as butler, and Trump persuaded him to stay on as the in-house historian at Mar-a-Lago. There is no salary for the job, Senecal says, but he makes money leading tours of the estate.
Senecal regularly posts screeds on his Facebook page from a far-right perspective in which he decries Obama and his wife—along with Hillary Clinton, other Democrats, and Republican leaders. He often refers to Obama as "zero," and several times he has called for the president's execution. He confirms that he has written all the posts on the page that have appeared under his name. "It's all me," he says.
You can hate the president. You have a right to disagree with the president or Congress.
But you can't threaten the president and the family, the vice president and his/her family, the candidates running for president, the nominees of each respective party, their families, the Speaker of the House, the Majority Leader or foreign leaders here in the United States.
The U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Marshals might visit you at home or at your job. You might be charged with a crime. You could spend up to 10 years in federal time out.
Is the most annoying conservative agitator going to mention this on his right wing carnival? Remember Sean Hannity was so obsessed with Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers and did everything he could to try to defeat President Barack Obama.
Mother Jones who is famous for the 47% comments by perennial loser Mitt Romney made this explosive story about the friends and associates that Trump keeps. I don't know if this is going to slow down the controversial billionaire's strength. He's already more polarizing than Hillary Clinton.
He's has heavy negatives on his shoulder.
You remember that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity was so obsessed with Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers. He seriously believed that "guilt by association" would doom Barack Obama's chances in the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. It didn't work and he was soon demoted to 10pm and lost syndicators for that. He's downplayed the impact claiming that it's basically a move to spend time with family. But seriously, he's tanking and people are watching.
From now on, this annoying agitator will be referred to as "Softball" Hannity. He openly admits to being a concern troll, a pain in the ass and a butt kisser. Softball Hannity is not going to bring this up.
He admits openly that if he had Obama or Hillary Clinton on his show, he would be 100 times harder on them than Donald Trump. After all, Mr. Trump gives Softball Hannity access to his campaign is actually helping him pick a running mate. They are hoping that washed-up slob Newt Gingrich will be Trump's second banana.
Yeah, we're the critics who sit in our underwear hoping you may say something dumb so we can actually get some talent on radio and television. We watch you as you become more paranoid and delusional. We wait patiently for your downfall.
If Donald Trump loses, I may be the first to post on social media, "The End of the Road" for Softball Hannity, old fart Rush Limbaugh and Matt Drudge's conservative Craigslist.
Mother Jones has went hard on Trump. They are hoping something would stick because so far Trump's rising and it's given grave concern to world leaders.
In order to pull off a dine-and-dash, woman calls in a fake bomb threat.
Destiny Watson wins the "You Can't Fix Stupid" award for calling in a fake robbery threat to get out of fast food bill. The Cincinnati area woman was at a Gold Star Chili eating her heart's content.
When she was given a bill, she say that she had to go to the restroom to find her credit card, "she will be back!" In the restroom she phones in 911. She said that the Gold Star Chili location had a robbery and there's a bomb inside.
It didn't take long before the police and fire department arrived. They questioned the workers asking them if there's any suspicious activity in the area. The worker said no. So as the woman exits the restroom, the law questions her.
Watson consents to a search of her purse and phone. She admits to make a bomb threat to skip a bill.
A Taste of Cincinnati, Gold Star Chili.
Watson was booked in the Hamilton County lockup on charges of inducing panic, misuse of 911, and theft. She has a court date in the coming days.
Her dine-and-dash "bombed". The law said that Watson made the situation even more troubling seeing that the location in Mt. Healthy was actually robbed by three assailants. They ended up robbing customers and workers.
Watson is innocent until proven guilty and if found guilty she could face a year in the iron college and a hefty fine.
Of course, she might be banned for life from area Gold Star Chili locations.
Pres. Barack Obama greets Pat McCrory, the Republican governor of North Carolina.
In Donald Trump's America, you can ban a transgender woman from using the women's restroom because at birth she was born a boy.
The Republicans in the South are still seething over the Supreme Court's decision to make marriage equal in the country. Now they're trying to sneak around the law to make life miserable for the LGBT Americans living in their states.
The North Carolina governor is hoping to rally supporters to his cause. He decides to fight against the U.S. Justice Department in a last ditch effort to bring support for the "bathroom law" that mandates citizens to use the public restroom assigned to their given birth. Those opposed to the law see it as state mandated discrimination against those who are transgender.
The feds have thrown shade on the law. The U.S. Justice Department has thrown a federal lawsuit against the governor and his cronies. The governor struck back and filed a countersuit saying that the government meddling in the law is overreach.
President Barack Obama gave McCrory the third salute today. In a sweeping move, the president issued an executive order giving transgender students full access to use any public restroom or facility according to their gender identity.
The letter, signed by officials from the Education and Justice departments, does not have the force of law but contains an implicit threat that schools which do not abide by the Obama administration’s interpretation of the law could face lawsuits or a loss of federal aid.
Yes we still believe in a mens and womens restroom. But we also believe that transgender Americans have the right to use the mens and womens restroom.
"There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement.
"This guidance gives administrators, teachers, and parents the tools they need to protect transgender students from peer harassment and to identify and address unjust school policies," she said.
The move comes as the Obama administration and North Carolina battle in federal court over a state law passed in March that limits public bathroom access for transgender people.
By passing the law, North Carolina became the first state in the country to ban people from using multiple occupancy restrooms or changing rooms in public buildings and schools that do not match the sex on their birth certificate.
"No student should ever have to go through the experience of feeling unwelcome at school or on a college campus," Education Secretary John King Jr. said in a statement.
Protesters in Raleigh, NC.
"We must ensure that our young people know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great education in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence," he said.
The Obama administration letter will say schools may not require transgender students to have a medical diagnosis, undergo any medical treatment, or produce a birth certificate or other document before treating them according to their gender identity.
Pat McCrory is the Republican governor who divided the nation.
Donald Trump is the most polarizing candidate running for president. Trump did speak on the law being bad for North Carolina. He quickly retracted his comments saying the matter is a "state's rights" issue.
Trump's allies in the junk food media (i.e. The Drudge Report, InfoWars, that annoying agitator Sean Hannity, Fox News, and Breitbart) have ignored this controversy.
