Al Jarreau Passed Away!

Al Jarreau passed away. 

Like every time the Grammy's come on, someone who made an impact in the music industry passed away. I mean we are reminded about the tragic death of Whitney Houston. She died on February 11, 2012. Now one of the greatest jazz musicians in the world passed away.

Al Jarreau, the voice behind several hits and the winner of seven Grammy Awards passed away early Sunday morning at the age of 76.

On his official website, the news was confirmed. He died in Los Angeles. He was hospitalized for exhaustion and it forced him off his tour. He would cancel his tour dates and semi-retire from touring.

He death was preceded with family and friends present.

He was a product of Milwaukee. He sang for fun growing up and didn't pursue a music career. He decided to jump into show business when he graduated from college.

Before his death, he apologized to his fans.

"With complete sorrow, Al Jarreau must retire from touring. He is thankful for his 50 years traveling the world in ministry through music --- and for everyone who shared this with him --- his faithful audience, the dedicated musicians and so many other who have supported his effort."

He is survived by his wife Susan and their son, Ryan.

Our late thread is dedicated to Al Jarreau and we mourn his loss.

A Klan Man Found Dunked In The Missouri River!

Klan man found dead by the river in suburban St. Louis.

I don't condone violence. I don't wish no ill towards this ignorant piece of shit. Hopefully his murderers are caught and sent up the creek without a paddle.

The body of a Klan man who came up missing was found near the Missouri River.

Frank Ancona, a 51 year old laborer was an imperial wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights, an offshoot of the far right terrorist group. He was found with a gunshot to the dome.

His wife reported him missing after he went out of state to do delivery work.

Local authorities question the alibi. His employer said he didn't take an out of state call. He failed to show up to work on Friday. He was on his duty on Wednesday.

The discovery of the guy wasn't reported as suspicious because a missing persons report had not been filed at the time, said the local junk food media. Police searched the area the following day but didn't find any evidence of foul play.

Klan leader hated non-Whites. He refused to follow the traditional Klan methods of terrorism.

There's something sinister going on inside the Klan man's home. The local authorities say that his safe was cracked and almost all the contents were emptied. There were signs of a firearm missing.

His wife who was planning to file divorce against him said that he was losing it.

On that note, failed presidential candidate and current asshat Ted Cruz, senator from Texas boldly said on Fox News the past week that the Democratic Party is "party of the Ku Klux Klan".

Yet, his party embraced Donald J. Trump. And the Klan endorsed him for president. Kind of funny that the Canadian born senator would go there. It's not like the Democrats nominated the African American for president. Oh, they did!

And because of the ignorance, we will have to wait for the day a woman can lead this country.

In the meantime, we have a former reality television star who became the leader. I dubbed this travesty "Fuhrer Donald Trump." He won the support of this White extremist movement called the Alt-Right. The movement is growing stronger and the Trumpster is giving them the language.

Gus Bilirakis Felt Indivisible!

Rep, Gus Bilirakis and his ally got an earful from protesters.

Republican congressman Gus Bilirakis from Florida felt the Bern. He saw his town hall erupt into a heated discussion with his constituents. The Republican lawmaker got to talking about his goal to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act. His right hand man made an "alternative fact" about how the law (known as Obamacare) having "death panels".

There were boos and shouting matches between Bill Akins and a man who was a supporter of the healthcare law.

He was called a lair by the constituent.

"You called me a liar," said Akins.

"You are a liar...Own up to it!" said the protester.

Akins the secretary of the Pasco County Republican Party was making the claim as well.

Soon as the crowd got rowdy, Akins went on to insult them.

"Ok children, all right children," said Akins.

Many Republicans claim that the protesters are paid agitators. Of course, when they got the love and support of the Tea Party, the Democrats called them paid protesters as well.

See Republicans now figured that they had the wind in their sails. Well I hope that many Americans rise up and show the party that we oppose their agenda and we're going to fight throughout the entire four years of the fuhrer's presidency.

Michael Flynn Got The Kremlin In His Back Pocket!

National Security Adviser may have been compromised.

Retired general and noted Islamophobe Michael Flynn is the current National Security Adviser.

Flynn had made numerous appearances on Fox News and got lap dances from the likes of Sean "Softball" Hannity. It's noted that Flynn was a contracted agitator on the network before he became a top advisor to the fuhrer. He is strongly in favor of the controversial Muslim ban that his fuhrer ordered.

Democrats have called for Flynn to be fired out the cannon after reports of him discussing sanctions and cooperation with Russia's Ambassador to the United States before the fuhrer took office.

Top officials including the vice fuhrer said last month that Flynn and Sergey Kislyak talked simply to arrange a phone call between the Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin and Fuhrer Donald J. Trump.

Flynn was calling then president Barack Obama an "enemy of the state." He said that the sanctions that were imposed on the country after the accusations of the country meddling in the election.

Flynn was trying to calm down the tension between the U.S. and Russia as a private citizen. It was a clear violation of the Logan Act.

Now I'm wondering if the conservative agitators who longed demonized Obama will address this scandal in the making?

Nope. They're too busy trying to blame Obama for Trump's fuck ups!

Jason Chaffetz Felt Indivisible!

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) getting a gut check.

House Republican Jason Chaffetz of Utah is often bitching and bemoaning about Benghazi and Hillary Clinton's emails. He spent a majority of the election year trying to uncover a scandal within the Obama White House and demonized Clinton throughout her failed campaign.

He, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) were gadflies to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They often appeared on Sean "Softball" Hannity's program trying to dog on Obama for allowing four Americans die in the 2012 Benghazi Consulate Attack.

So far, he hasn't made any priorities to the failed Yemeni raid in which one Navy Seal was killed.

He was upset over Kellyanne Conway giving a plug to Ivana Trump's fashion line. Conway got flack for giving a plug while being a federal office holder. She got a slap on the wrist.

Matter of fact, conflict is existing with Mike Flynn, the National Security Advisor. He is under fire for coordinating with the Russian ambassador about the getting the sanctions lift when the fuhrer Donald J. Trump hops into the White House.

Obama called for harsh sanctions against Russia for meddling in the election. It's confirmed that Russia had played in a role in getting Trump elected.

Trump ignores the concerns and dismissed it as "fake news" and he believes it undermines his surprise victory.

Chaffetz hasn't move a muscle on the issues.

So when he held his town hall in suburban Salt Lake City, he got an earful.

Protesters shouted him down. They also shouted down Betsy DeVos, Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) recently.

DeVos Got School'd!

Education chief got blocked at the door. Betsy DeVos got a shout down by protesters.

The Department of Education secretary Betsy DeVos was blocked from entering a public school in Washington, DC. A small group of protesters got in her face and gave her a shout down.

DeVos who was confirmed on a 50-50 vote with vice fuhrer Mike Pence giving the tie-breaker vote.

DeVos, a wealthy Republican contributor to campaigns is accused of buying her way into the government. Her husband is the former CEO and current emiris of Amway.

Amway is a company known for entrapping people in a pyramid scheme. It's based in Grand Rapids.

Teacher unions and public school advocates believe that DeVos could take funding from schools and place it into "religious" based education facilities.

Her nomination and confirmation sparked fury among progressives and some conservatives. Some conservatives such as the turd flipper Michelle Malkin call the decision to nominate her a perfect example of Trump failing his promise to "drain the swamp."

DeVos was ridiculed for recently saying that guns in schools might be necessary to ward off grizzly bear attacks. Critics believe that she is freaking clueless when it comes to public schools. Her own children do not attend public school.

She shrugged off the protesters and eventually went into the building a few minutes later.

"I respect peaceful protest, and I will not be deterred in executing the vital mission of the Department of Education," said DeVos. "No school door in America will be blocked from those seeking to help our nation's school children."
