Yeah CNN went there with it. Now they pay the price for it.
It's just not Fox News.....It's CNN too!
CNN president Jeff Zucker had to formally step into the controversy surrounding Donald J. Trump and his ties to Russia. The controversy took an interesting turn when CNN released a story about a transition official Anthony Scaramucci and Russian officials.
It said that Scaramucci had gotten a $10-billion Russian investment fund four days before Trump stepped into office. The story claimed that he went to Vnesheconombank, a state ran firm under U.S. sanctions.
The story was posted on its website.
The people involved were Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau and Lex Harris.
Donald J. Trump, Jr. said this was "the biggest fake news scandal in the network's history."
The White House got testy with the story and decided that press briefings should not be public from this point. So as of today, the press briefings are brief and short.
Mind you that CNN is far from the direction Fox News is going.
Fox News is on the verge of an implosion. The Murdoch's are cleaning house and a handful of agitators are quickly being shuffled out the network.
Bill O'Reilly is gone and the ratings are tanking. The only original voices left on the primetime is Sean "Softball" Hannity.
The official softball of the Donald J. Trump Organization is on this kick about "fake news" and the "deep state." Real kookspiracy shit going on with the softball.
The softball was ridiculed for exploiting the death of Seth Rich. The softball is being called the mainstream version of Alex Jones.
The softball is by far the most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media.
CNN admits the mistake. They disciplined those involved and apologized. They move on.
It seems like Fox News and its only original primetime host are still stuck on this.
Dayton, Ohio is big business for narco trafficking.
My community has become the Mecca of drug abuse. The junk food media is now reporting that the epidemic here is "huge."
Dayton is the number one city in the United States for drug overdoses. The use of heroin and fentanyl has gotten so much attention, lawmakers are noticing.
The Midwestern city's close approximation to transcontinental freeways makes it a perfect stomping ground for cartels to set up shop.
Dayton has an opioid epidemic and it's really killing off thousands of people.
The city has seen massive drop off in residency and it is not getting better.
Two members of the community are running for governor. Both addressed this crisis but offered no real solutions. With the possibility of Congress passing Trumpcare, drug tratment facilities will suffer greatly from the budget cuts imposed by the Republican proposals.
Nan Whaley, the Democratic mayor of Dayton and Mike DeWine, the Republican Attorney General of Ohio have reached out to Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III and members of the Justice Department for assistance. The Justice Department is complying. However, it's treating drug offenders like murderers and throwing them in the iron college faster than then Barack Obama's then Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
Dayton, Ohio has a population of 137,000 residents. It's part of the Rust Belt, a region where many of the manufacturing and service industry jobs had disappeared. Dayton is the sixth largest city in the state. It is caught between major cities like Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis.
Heroin, prostitution, human trafficking and gun crimes are big issues in the area.
Interstate 70 and Interstate 75 is the original crossroads of America. It connects to major cities within a five hour stretch.
I have friends who died from heroin and fentanyl. I have people I know who will likely die before they reach 40 years old.
The Montgomery County R.A.N.G.E. Task Force and Dayton Police are trying to crack down on dope pushers. They want them to rat out the drug traffickers and cartels that pass through the region.
The neighboring communities Moraine, Middletown, Hamilton, Riverside, Centerville and Springboro are seeing a spike in opioid overdoses as well.
I didn't but there were some newsworthy situations happening at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Well congratulations to the winners and the performers.
Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Lecrae, Chance The Rapper, Solange Knowles and The Migos took home a BET Award.
Bruno Mars pays tributes to all the celebrities of Black culture when he got his award for the Best Male R&B performer.
Beyonce got the most awards. I don't know if she appeared or not. I didn't watch it. She gave birth to her twins with her husband Sean Carter, aka Jay-Z.
The Migos got into a heated interview with Complex Magazine contributor and rapper Joe Budden and later Chris Brown.
Lil' Kim is under investigation for jacking a female of her properties.
And all of this is what BET brought to your television, your blogs and the discussion table.
At first, I was going to call it a "straight coon's picnic."
Oh goody, goddy! I get to pick another judge! Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is expected to retire. Donald Trump quickly got Neil Gorsuch appointed quickly.
Donald J. Trump may get a legitimate pick to the Supreme Court. There's rumors that Anthony Kennedy, the conservative justice who often breaks ties with the 4-4 is about to retire.
The announcement of retirement is picking up steam. The Court could swing decision in the wrong direction if Trump picks another "stone age" justice.
Kennedy, the third appointed Supreme Court justice under Ronald Reagan served the court since 1988, during an election year. Barack Obama was pissed he didn't get his third justice on the court.
Barack Obama was denied a third justice when Republicans obstructed the nomination of Merrick Garland.
Trump came in and quickly picked Neil Gorsuch to replace the spot vacated by Antonin Scalia, the justice who died in 2016.
In 2016, an election year, Mitch McConnell said the decision to pick a justice should wait until a new president comes in.
They were expected to hold off picks if Hillary Clinton had won the election. Now that Trump won, they're willing to give him anything he wants.
The Senate now made the picks for the Supreme Court a simple majority. Gorsuch managed to get through 54 votes with 52 Republicans in favor along with Democrats Heidi Heitkamp and Joe Manchin aiding his way through.
The Court is ran by John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He was then a replacement for Sandra Day O'Conner but was quickly bumped when William Rehnquist died in 2005.
Current members.
John Roberts was appointed by George W. Bush in 2005. Chief Justice.
Sonia Sotomayor was appointed by Barack Obama in 2009.
Samuel Alito was appointed by George W. Bush in 2006.
Ruth Bider Ginsburg was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1993.
Steven Breyer was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1995.
Clarence Thomas was appointed by George H.W. Bush in 1991.
Anthony Kennedy was appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1998.
Elena Kagan was appointed by Barack Obama in 2010.
Neil Gorsuch was appointed by Donald Trump in 2017.
Trump is by far the most polarizing leader in the world. He has caused such impact that affects everyone's lives. He's deeply unpopular. However, Trump has 75% of chance of winning reelection in 2020.
Democrats are pretty much fucked. They are deeply unpopular as well. The Democrats have to purge themselves of leaders like Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Steny Hoyer. They need firebrands who speak like Trump, act like Ted Cruz, and stall like Rand Paul. The Democrats need to start fighting dirty. Do what the Republicans do!
The Republicans can get what they want now that the "nuclear option" is active now. Republicans obstructed Obama throughout his eight years. It proved successful.
Democrats are obstructing Trump and it's backfiring.
They're weak and feckless. They have no plan and no real agenda.
Now they'll lose the Court forever. Republicans can now appoint "stone age" judges to the Court.
They will hear Trump's Muslim ban. Top row l-r: Sonia Sotomayor, Samuel Alito, Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch. Bottom row l-r: Ruth Bider Ginsberg, Anthony Kennedy, John Roberts, Clarence Thomas and Steven Breyer.
This is an embarrassment of freedoms. The freedom to travel, the freedom to practice in religion and the freedom to contest unlawful searches and seizures will be heard in the Supreme Court. WE HAVE TERRORISM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. IT'S NOT BY A FOREIGN NATIONAL. IT'S BY AMERICANS. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. AMERICAN LAWMAKERS ARE TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THAT GUN VIOLENCE HAPPENS EVERY FUCKING DAY. AT LEAST 19 PEOPLE DIE A HOUR BY FIREARMS. THE MOST VULNERABLE ARE CHILDREN, BLACK MEN AND TEENS, AND ABUSED WOMEN. HEROIN IS KILLING AMERICA. WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DYING A DAY BECAUSE OF OPIOID ABUSE. POLICE BRUTALITY IS STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM. AMERICANS WHO WEAR THE BADGE KILL UNARMED INDIVIDUALS. THEY EXERCISE THEIR ABUSE BY SAYING THAT THEY FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES AND JURIES OF OUR OWN PEERS OFTEN ALLOW COPS TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER. WE HAVE BRUTAL KILLING HERE IN THE UNITED STATES BY OUR OWN MEN AND WOMEN. YOU NOTICE THIS BAN DOESN'T INCLUDE NORTH KOREA, SAUDI ARABIA, CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC, QATAR, PAKISTAN AND RUSSIA. BANS ARE STUPID. WE ARE THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY! OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT AMERICAN PROPAGANDA TELLS YOU!
The Supreme Court allowed the Muslim ban to take effect but for at least 90 days. It was the water-down version of the order. It will go into effect shortly.
The Court will hear the case in October.
The decision allows Trump to have his travel ban go into effect. However, it stops short of a full ban.
"Foreign nationals who have a credible claim of bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States." That means if the individuals from seven Muslim majority nations must have a legitimate reasons to enter the United States. So if they're here to study, marry or even get a job, they are free to travel. However the Trump ban could deny regardless of what the Court says.
This decision will create more tension with the Muslim world.
Donald J. Trump signed executive orders making the travel ban active. It was challenged in three courts and the lower courts ruled against Trump.
Trump fast tracked the ruling to the Supreme Court.
The restrictions do not affect students coming to learn, entertainers to perform, lecturers to teach or inspire and formal relationships with individuals from these countries.
When Trump is promising that he will be a "law and order" type of guy, he's dog whistling. When said that he wants to secure the border, be on the side of cops and make this country a Christian nation, he's really telling the American people.
Trump is telling Americans to stop Black and Brown from destroying White.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are the hosts of Morning Joe. It's an AM agitation show that features the two, Willie Geist and numerous others debating the latest topics in Washington, DC, New York and Hollywood.
The show is very popular with Americans and it's starting to pick up steam.
It was confirmed by Joe and Mika, the two were a couple and are planning on getting married soon.
All the while, Joe has been tourning the nation with his indie rock band called Scarborough.
The agitator released his EP over the weekend and it's a pretty decent album. It took a couple of digs at their "friend" Donald J. Trump.
He had performed and even brought Mika onstage to do a duet with him.
The news is great for the two.
However, there's one person in the junk food media still being a pain in everyone's neck. The most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media is a notorious name-dropping, Obama-obsessed, Trump ass-kissing, Republican who claims he values the principles of conservatism.
He's not a conservative. He's a 55-year old man-child just like his idol, Donald J. Trump.
Sean "Softball" Hannity is feuding with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
Sean "Softball" Hannity is the official softball of the Donald J. Trump organization. According to Jon Stewart, he's pretty "lumpy."
Softball Hannity has been poking at the hornet's nest for sometime. He's jealous his ratings are starting to tank and he's trying to blame MSNBC for the political discourse that lead to the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA).
Fox News is experiencing some turmoils since the ouster of the late pervert Roger Ailes.
Ailes along with Bill Shine, Judy Slater, Bob Beckel, and the number one agitator in cable news, Bill O"Reilly saw cannon fire after allegations of sexual harassment and racially charged rhetoric spawned around Fox.
With Greta Van Sustern, Megyn Kelly and O'Reilly gone, the softball is the only one left in the mainstream primetime. Tucker Carlson is still pulling in ratings, but he's coming in second to Rachel Maddow. Chris Hayes is pulling ahead of CNN and is close to Fox News in the key demo. The Five is still a ratings grab but it's too sappy. Jesse Watters is moving closer to the cannon if the ratings flop.
The softball still has strong viewership, but creeping into that territory is Lawrence O'Donnell.
O'Donnell signed for another four years. Andy Lack was facing backlash for trying to pull The Last Word because he wanted that disgraced Brian Williams in that spot.
O'Donnell and activists pressured MSNBC to keep him, Joy Reid and Al Sharpton. Critics slam the network for hiring Megyn Kelly, Greta Van Susteren, George Will, Nicole Wallace and Hugh Hewitt to the lineup. Most of them were former Fox News hosts and commentators who have conservative/white extremist views.
With the exception of Van Sustern, most of them are anti-Trump.
The softball has called MSNBC, the "tin-foil hat" network because the primetime hosts are pushing the controversial allegations of Trump officials getting help from Russia.
The softball faced backlash after he tried to tie murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich to Wikileaks. He was roundly debunked but still kept on going and it forced a boycott on his show.
The softball retaliated by calling a boycott on Maddow and Scarborough.
Scarborough called the softball out for being the favorite of Trump and the Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin.
The softball said that Joe and Mika need therapy.
Well I guess music tames the savage beast.
Why don't Sean "Softball" Hannity play the drums?
Maybe he should be a called a drum. He certainly has the head for it. Someone should bang on his head. He's full of noise. He certainly can give someone a headache!
Reality television star and singer Safaree was jumped by Meek Mill's crew. The rapper denies the altercation but all signs point to him because the two used to date Nicki Minaj.
Every year, BET hosts their award show. And it never shies from controversy. The BET Awards are on tonight. I won't watch it. I don't care about it. If anything newsworthy comes up, I'll post it on World News Today. Nonetheless, this is a part of the controversies that plague the BET Awards.
America's favorite punching bag is accused of jumping his old girl's old man!
This video that circulated online featured two former flames of pop star Nicki Minaj. The female emcee and entertainer had dated both R&B singer Safaree and Philly MC, Meek Mill.
Somehow the two crossed paths and Safaree almost got a helping of "knuckle style chili."
The allegations that Meek Mill's crew jumped Safaree quickly became internet memes.
Meek know nothing!
Celebrity agitator DJ Self, greeted the entertainer before an unknown man came out of nowhere and served him up.
Meek Mill denies the altercation and says that's not his fault that "dude got served."
Meek Mill was spotted by TMZ in Beverly Hills. He was asked about the incident. "Who?," said the rapper. "Ain't no beef," he later added. "I don't know how they got us confused with that type of stuff."
Safaree Samuels has some choice words for the rapper.
A post shared by Safaree 🇯🇲 StuntMan (@iamsafaree) on
"I understand your place of desperation and wanting acknowledgement from me," he said. "One day, we can hug it out and we can shake hands, and we can be friends. Until then, you'll just have to watch me rise from where you are. I feel that is what is hurting some of these people's hearts."
The two were supposed to appear at DJ Khaled's pre-BET party and the altercation happened.
