Darrell Issa Out!

Can't take it no more, got to go! Controversial lawmaker Darrell Issa is out.

Controversial lawmaker decided to exit stage right.

Rep. Darell Issa (R-CA) announced he is not seeking another term.

Issa is one of 15 Republicans who were endanger of losing their seats. He decided instead of taking a loss, he took a retirement.

Matter of fact, he will retire with that tax cut that his fellow Republicans voted for. The former CEO of Directed Electronics, the company that makes Viper Vehicle Security is worth $459 million. He is one of the richest members of Congress.

Issa was then a convicted geeker. He stole whips in his younger days. He would end up being told to find a job or join the military.

He joined the military. After he served in the military he put his former criminal skills into protecting people.

Issa is known for being the trademark voice of Viper.

"Protected by Viper, Stand Back."

Issa will head back to the private life.
The infamous photo of Issa on his office roof mocking angry constituents.
This exit signals the potential of the Democrats sweeping control of Congress.

Also there are a handful of Republicans who are running with criminal records. That's not beneficial to Republicans.

Issa dogged Barack Obama throughout his term as President of the United States. Issa was so invested in the made up scandals that helped Republicans take control of Congress.

Issa constantly dogged Obama, Hillary Clinton and then Attorney General Eric Holder over Fast & Furious, the IRS flagging Tea Party groups and Benghazi.

Issa was one of the many lawmakers who ducked constituents.

He was filmed on top of his congressional office laughing at them.

Good riddance.



What Happened To Deyshia Hargrave?


A Louisiana teacher is lucky to be alive after she was detained and booked into Vermillion Parish lock up.

Deyshia Hargrave was a middle school teacher who was upset that a corrupt school board member getting a big payday.

As a teacher, I bet you money that she and other teachers had to put their own money in supplies. I heard that teachers had to pay for pencils, pens, calculators, and possibly tablets.

In school board meeting in Abbeville, Hargrave expressed outrage at the school superintendent getting paid way more than the teachers.

A school resource officer warned her to sit down. She did not comply. So as she was beimg taken away from the board room, she was tossed to the ground.

She was cuffed and sent to a waiting police car.

CBS News reported that board member Laura Lebeouf said that teachers were being treated unfairly. The actions leading to Hargrave's arrest were disturbing.
School teacher getting roughed up by the law.
"What happened here tonight, the way that females are treated in Vermilion Parish….I have never seen a man removed from this room," Lebeouf said. 

"A board member was recognized and a board member's getting ready to speak when she cut into him. That's when the officer acted, and I think he acted properly," School board president Anthony Fontana said.
Jerome Puyau was getting a six figure payday and the schools are crumbling.

Teachers are making less and a forced to put down their own money for supplies. It was frustrating.

Thank goodness that Hargrave wasn't shot. She was booked for disturbing the peace. The charges were dropped.

Now she and others are rallying to oust the school board.

Missing White Woman Fooled The Nation!

Missing woman found. Did Courtney Roland pull a fast one on the nation?
Courtney Roland was found yesterday. She was found in metro Houston after she went off the radar for nearly four days.

The Houston metro police reveal the reasons why she went missing. Try to not get angry about it. Because I am certainly going to go there.

She said that she was on medication and was spotted by the Galleria Mall. She was walking like she was a homeless person.

She left her vehicle and purse behind. When the police found her they said that she had minor bumps and bruises. She had no other injuries. There were no signs of sexual abuse.

As you know, people are breathing a sigh of relief.

Roland was a sports reporter for the Texas A&M Aggies. She also was a part time model and occasional consumer of beverages.

Roland was under the influence of something when she was found near a Chick-Fil-A. The law claims she was "trying to look for her phone."

She texted her mom and friends that she was being followed by a suspicious man. Then a text came to her money saying this is a person trying to buy an iPad from Courtney.

Okay, I am pissed. I find it frustrating that we were obsessed with trying to find a woman who pulled a bitch move. She wasted the local agencies time.

She could have picked up a payphone and dialed 911 or her family.

Roland locked up her social media. She know what's going to happen. She will be hit with death threats and calls to be fired out the cannon for fooling the nation.

I believe she was drunk and crashed her ride. Roland concocted a story about being followed by a suspicious individual to fool the law. Cause she may have damaged her vehicle and left it behind. She was injured by the vehicle. She got out and knew she would be spending a night in Harris county lockup so she locked her vehicle and lefted her phone inside. She walked around town until she sobbered up.

I believe that. I stand by that.

Missing White Woman Syndrome once again comes into question. When a pretty white woman goes missing, the junk food media gives it national attention. The junk food media ignores women and children of color, men and LGBTQ individuals.

The junk food media, politicians and social media will do hashtag activism to bring the nation's attention to this missing white woman.

Steve Bannon Fired Out The Cannon!

Another One Bites the Dust. Steve Bannon was fired out the cannon at Breitbart News.
The progressives claimed victory. The white extremist Stephen K. Bannon is fired out the cannon at Breitbart. He took the mantle after Andrew Breitbart passed away in 2012.

Since his tenure, he took the website to a more nationalist and white extremist tilt.

Breitbart was facing troubles since Donald J. Trump declared he was running for president. The online website Sleeping Giants mounted a war against Breitbart and its sister site Rebel Media. They mounted an advertiser boycott in respomse to Milo Yiannopoulos' Gamergate scandal. The website lost major advertisers and Sleeping Giants is continuing the fight to drive it out of business.

Breitbart is active in promoting this white extremist movement they labeled the alt-right.

Bannon who was an early backer of Trump gave him access to his SiriusXM show, his media empire and the loyal followers who make up the base.

Bannon would join the campaign after Paul Manafort was ousted because of his Russian ties. He left Breitbart and became a political adviser and campaign strategist.

Bannon and Kellyanne Conway joined the campaign and helped Trump win.

They were greatly promoted to positions in the White House. Bannon was a senior policy advisor. It came crashing down in July when he was fired out the cannon. He would soon return to Breitbart to help Trump oust members of the Republican Party who refuse to back his agenda.

Bannon would also return to SiriusXM to host Breitbart News Daily on The Patriot.

He would be instrumental in the failed senate campaign of Roy Moore, a controversial former Alabama supreme court chief justice. Bannon backed Moore despite the base backing Luther Strange. When Strange lost his bid, Bannon, Trump, and Sean "Softball" Hannity backed Moore.
Take a bath, Steve.
Moore would end up having ten women come forth with allegations of sexual abuse. Bannon warned Republicans to back him or face a primary challenger.

The Republicans at first pulled support. Trump would personally endorse Moore and called upon Republicans to support him.

Moore would lose to Doug Jones. Bannon was handed a major defeat.

Then Michael Wolff came into the picture and Bannon spilled the tea.

Wolff's best seller Fire & Fury: Inside the Trump White House became the Achilles heel for Bannon. The white extremist was pretty blunt about how Trump ran things. He said that Trump was off his rockers and it rocked the White House.

Breitbart executives, Andrew Breitbart's widow Susannah Bean and Larry Solov were really pissed about this. They wanted Bannon's ass gone. They said he ruined the brand.

It took them today to finally get him out the picture.

Bannon immediately left the Breitbart empire. He will no longer have a place there and on SiriusXM. He will be erased from history.

Steve Bannon is now officially a washed up celebrity.

Trump has labeled him, "Sloppy Steve." That name sticks to him like glue.

Robert and Rebekah Mercer had pulled funding from Breitbart and ended his personal security and bank account.

Bannon also lost a place at Fox News.

Softball Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham said, "Steve Bannon. Never heard of him."

Bannon now sits as a disheveled drunk. A dirty ass man with no plan.

The world is a whole lot better knowing Stephen K. Bannon is no longer a power player.

Good riddance.

Ed Royce And Bill Shuster Are Out!

Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) is out.
Embattled Republicans are looking for the door. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) is retiring from Congress leaving Republicans in danger of losing the House.

He joins Rep. Bill "Bud, Jr." Shuster (R-PA) and 26 other Republicans in leaving the House.

Democrats need to win 25 seats in order to retake the House of Representatives. They need three seats to retake the Senate.

Donald J. Trump is hovering around 38% in job approval. He is favored negatively across all spectrums. His "base" still supports his agenda.

Republicans are still struggling to wrangle up votes to pass bills to fund the government. They claim the Democrats won't work with them.

I am sure that Royce and Shuster were leading the way with the notion.

Royce was the committee leader of foreign affairs. Aa House Committee on Foreign Affairs he had a powerful voice in criminal activities by overseas entities.
Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA) is leaving Congress.
Royce was a powerful member of that committee. Now he is resigning from Congress leaving a potential pickup for the Democrats.

Shuster on the other hand was scandal plagued. He was caught up in an affair while he was married. He had a longstanding affair with an airline lobbyist.

He gave his mistress easy access to funds.

He won reelection in 2016, despite the affair. He was part of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. He served as chairman.

President O?

A powerful Black woman could run for president.
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey delivered a powerful speech at the Golden Globes last night. The speech has gotten the political agitators talking.

The media mogul could run as a Democrat and take on Donald J. Trump.

Another reality television star and media mogul with no experience running our government.

Could she make a play for 2020?

Here's her powerful speech at the Golden Globes.


Gayle King was shooting down rumors on CBS This Morning.

Could this be a game changer?

Who knows?

Democrats have no real strong competitors right now. They want to rehashed failed candidates like Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. They can't beat a bombastic leader like Trump.

They want to have fairly seasoned candidates like Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand to make a play.

If you ask me, no strong candidates means a second term for Donald J. Trump.

Monkeying Around!

H&M had a fashion emergency with an offensive display of a Black boy wearing a hoodie.

Oh, no!

H&M faces a backlash for letting this one slip past their board of directors.

Now this image will be splattered on white extremists websites. It will driven up on social media. The young model will likely be harassed and picked on by others.

The whole ordeal could hurt their sales.

The image of a Black boy with the hoodie saying "The coolest monkey in the jungle."

Yeah, we didn't think this one over.

H&M caused such an uproar, R&B singer The Weeknd said he's no longer endorsing the company.




Backlash and hashtag activism cuts both ways. Now that we got your attention, we want you to see how Americans view children of color.

Intentional or not, this was a clear cut dog whistle to white extremists.
