Post Midterm Massacre: Mass Shooting In Thousand Oaks!

Another mass shooting. Two days after the Midterm elections.

Well that didn't last long. We have another mass shooting in the United States. Only 48 hours after the ballots closed in California. The news has quickly hit the web and people across the country are offering nothing but sideline comments and no action.

I wish we could have taken back the Senate. Because we got so much shit going on and giving Trump a Congress that doesn't work in his favor will only create more gridlock and despair.

We know there's causalities and death. We know that Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Jerry Brown, Gov-Elect Gavin Newsom, Mayor Andy Fox, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) will express phony sympathy and "thoughts and prayers" to those victims.

What we know is that Americans voted for more gun violence. We voted for more Republicans.

We voted for stupidity to continue to reign.

Mass shooting in the United States. This time in Ventura County, California. The suspect was caught. Who actually takes the blame? (Expect the dumbest answers from trolls)

Barack Obama

Donald Trump

Muslims

Black Lives Matter

Progressives

Conservatives

March For Our Lives

NRA

Gov. Jerry Brown

Video Games

The Junk Food Media

Congress

The Shooter

Republicans don't give a fuck about the victims of mass shootings. All they offer is "moments of silence" and "lowering of flags."

You can't have a good time in a bar.

No laws or regulations to firearms. The Republicans rather take away your healthcare, your retirement, your safety net and your sanity. Obviously, you assured Second Amendment rights from birth because you hear so much about young children obtaining firearms and killing themselves or others. I mean you have to be 18 to vote, to enter the military. You have to be 21 to enter a casino or strip club and drink alcohol. Yet, no age restriction or background checks for a firearm purchase.

You can ban online prostitution but not the sales of high capacity firearms.

We can protest the NRA all day and night. They ain't going anywhere. However, we can dust ourselves off and try again. We can change the course of direction and force Republicans out of power in 2020. I mean it's going to be even more difficult with Trump still in power.

He is likely to win in 2020. There's no candidate viable enough to win 270. The states Trump carried voted for Republican governors and senators. Each of them will allow more gun violence and culture war tactics.

Thousand Oaks, California is the place where a man wearing a trenchcoat entered the Borderline Bar and Grill. This terrorist opened fire on people, threw smoke grenades and shot at a county boy.

Mass shooters affect lives.

The weapon of choice once again is the AR-15 or a glock.

The terrorist decided to kill as many people as he could.

There could be as many as 20 victims killed. The terrorist was killed. Witness said that he fired upon those exiting the bar. One said that he threw a bar stool through the window to help people escape.

"There's a lot a people who disagree with the [American] values we had," said a survivor named Matt. "The suspect wearing all dark clothing and he was armed with a semi-automatic handgun."

Ventura County boys, Thousand Oaks Police, the FBI, the ATF and California State Highway Patrol are involved in the matter.

We voted for mass shootings. Expect more.

The terrorist could have been another incel. This type of terrorist is a man who is rejected. A sexually rejected individual who wanted to take revenge on people who rejected him.

The event was college night. The country bar could have up to 300 people inside. So there's got to be young people aged 18 to 34 among the victims.

You're not safe in the bar.

Another mass shooting in the United States and yet nothing will be done.

The terrorist did not care about your politics, your race, your gender, your sexuality, your economics or your life. All he wanted to do is kill as many as he could.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

Well....what are we going to do?

Trump: WHAAAT! I've Never Heard Of Lil Jon!

OKAAAY!

Donald J. Trump held his post Midterm press conference. A little contentious I must say.

A reporter asked him questions about racist remarks during the 2018 Midterm campaign.

"Have you ever use racist remarks?"

Trump flatly denied the comments.

"I don't know who Lil Jon is," President Trump tells a reporter when asked about a claim made by the rapper about Trump's rhetoric.

"The point of fact is I've never used a racist remark" https://t.co/pwWYYzlnug pic.twitter.com/0e3LQmnOLK

— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) November 7, 2018

The reporter mentioned former Celebrity Apprentice contestant Lil Jon. The Atlanta rapper and DJ was on the NBC program. Lil Jon said Trump called him an "Uncle Tom" during a taping.

"I don't know who Lil Jon is," Trump said, responding to the reporter's question. "I really don't."

The reporter then noted that they starred side-by-side on his reality show. “Oh, he was?” Donald Trump said.

Back in October 2016, Lil Jon asserted that Trump called him Uncle Tom while they were working on The Celebrity Apprentice together.

"When this 'Uncle Tom' incident happened on Celebrity Apprentice in the boardroom several of my cast mates and I addressed Mr. Trump immediately when we heard the comment," he wrote at the time. "I can't say if he knew what he was actually saying or not, but he did stop using that term once we explained its offensiveness."

CNN's Jim Acosta was banned from White House press pool after a heated confrontation with Trump. This came hours after Acosta got into a heated exchange. Trump called Acosta a "terrible person."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that Acosta will get a "hard pass." It means he won't be able to cover the White House from the grounds until further notice.

Trump favored outlets like Fox News will get access to spread lies and racism. He will grant Fox News a stage to promote bullshit. It's unfortunate that CNN has to hold their tongues.

If I was the boss of CNN, I would have told Acosta to say "fuck you" directly to Trump.

Instant viral.

YEEEAH!

Jeff Sessions Fired Out The Cannon!

The big eared bastard Jeff Sessions is fired out the cannon. Donald Trump fired his top cop.

Democrats didn't ride a Blue Wave. There was no tsunami. More like a half-pint. The House of Representatives will go back to the Democrats. The Senate is still in Republican control. The Senate will continue to confirm nominees and federal judges. The Supreme Court will likely be conservative for a generation. There isn't a candidate with the fire to rile up Democratic voters. The white vote is probably lost forever. The Democrats failed at chipping away uneducated whites.

It seems like Donald J. Trump has finally decided to fire the top cop. This firing could impact the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 and 2018 U.S. Elections. Obviously, we all knew that Russian meddling had once again played a role in the election. Because the writing is on the wall.

Jefferson Beauregard sessions aka Magoo has been formally fired out the cannon right after the Midterm elections.

"At your request I am submitting my resignation," Sessions wrote in a letter to White House chief of staff John Kelly.

Matthew Whitaker will take over as acting attorney general, the President said.

Whitaker is expected to take charge of the Russia investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Whitaker has been openly critical of Mueller and the investigation and Democrats immediately called on him to recuse himself, just as Sessions had.

The move is an abrupt end to what had been a tumultuous tenure for Sessions, originally one of Trump's earliest and most loyal surrogates as an Alabama Republican senator. He was a key figure in implementing Trump's vision for America and significantly rolled back Obama-era policies on immigration, police reform and civil rights.

The former Alabama senator was the first lawmaker to endorse Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. He was a crucial voice in helping Trump secure the South.

We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well....

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018

....We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well! A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018

Sessions who is a former lawyer himself kindly took on the job of being Attorney General of the United States. During his two years as AG, he took on drug trafficking, child pornography, Backpage and domestic terrorism.

Sessions had recused himself right after confirmation when he was accused of lying under oath, saying he never met any Russian diplomats.

When Sessions recused himself, it activated a Special Counsel to investigate claims of Russian meddling. Sessions and Rod Rosenstein appointed former FBI director Robert Mueller as lead investigator and it netted a handful of individuals and companies involved in tampering with votes.

It is getting closer to Trump's ties to the Russian government. Every time it gets close to Trump, the imbecile launches attacks on the investigation, sics Fox News on Mueller and tries his best to bring up Hillary Clinton.

Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to multiple counts of campaign finance violations, tax fraud and bank fraud and Trump's former campaign chair Paul Manafort was found guilty of eight charges including tax fraud and bank fraud.

Sessions was aware that Cohen was facing bank fraud and tax violations but had been walled off from the campaign finance aspects of the investigation into Trump's former lawyer, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told CNN.

Trump's distaste for Sessions was well known -- and publicly reinforced by the Trump himself on a regular basis -- after the attorney general recused himself from all matters related to the 2016 campaign early in Trump's term.

Trump mocked Sessions in August as "scared stiff and Missing in Action."

Later the same month as Trump continued to rail against him, Sessions issued a statement firing back at Trump and declaring, "While I am Attorney General, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. I demand the highest standards, and where they are not met, I take action."

Trump's cannon firing of Sessions will automatically pit the Democrats against him. The Mueller investigation is active and Trump is trying his hardest to scrap it.

With 2020 looming in the distance, Democrats need to shift their focus from Russian probes to economic issues. We have to stay the course and hope that Trump will destroy himself.

Bye, Bye Mia Love!

Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) could be on her way out.

Might be the end of the line for Utah congresswoman Mia Love. The first African American woman to represent the Beehive State as a Republican is battling against a Democrat who may ouster her from office.

Ben McAdams is a moderate Democrat who seems to bankrolling off the progressives living in Salt Lake City and Provo.

The election count has McAdams in the lead. McAdams is the mayor of the city and a fierce critic of Donald J. Trump. He was considered an underdog from the jump.

Love who was considered a darling among the "Tea Party Movement" won in 2014 when the Democrat Jim Matherson resigned. She was hoping that Utah's most conservative counties would sway in her favor.

Love and Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) are the only Black Republicans in the House of Representatives.

Sen. Tim Scott is the only Black Republican in the U.S. Senate. He along with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) are the three African Americans who sit currently in the Senate.

Also in the state, carpetbagger and perennial failure Mitt Romney achieved a goal. The former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican nominee for president is now Senate-elect.

Romney ran for governor twice, president twice and the senate twice. He only won twice.

Romney enters while Paul Ryan exits. Ryan's campaign aide Bryan Steil wins against Randy Bryce, a firebrand Democrat.

Romney will take the spot held by old fart Orin Hatch, who retired with a smirk. Hatch berated women during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.

Yet, if Hillary Clinton decides to run for Senate again, expect the hypocrites of the Republican Party to badger her to stay out of the race.

There's no god. There's just hypocrisy and stupidity in the way our government works.

The Republican Party always fails at winning the popular vote. What the fuck is wrong with Americans?

If I wanted to be a Republican, I would be a white male who is afraid of change. A man who is pinned up with rage that my generation is dying thanks to all the Black and Brown people here. I would pull myself up from the boot straps but complain about my roads being crappy and the poor getting a handout.

Don't feel bummed out. You made a difference. The Republican and Democratic Parties heard you loud and clear.

I am upset. But you know what, I'll get over it. I mean the Republican Party is destroying our country.

Ben McAdams could be Representative-elect.

They might as well destroy the values that we all held since birth. The Democrats need to stop being "nice" and start acting like the conservative agitators. Common sense doesn't work with white people.

It never worked. That's why Missouri, Montana, Indiana and Florida senate races went to the Republicans.

Common sense doesn't work with folks who view people of color as a threat to their livelihood.

That's why it hurts to see Ohio and Florida governor's races continue to be held on by Republicans.

Republican leadership has already doomed many urban centers. The rural areas will eventually feel it too. They are just too dumb or racist to understand that everyone suffers if we allow the "status quo."

If you can't win an election, please don't run for President of the United States.

I DON'T WANT JOE BIDEN, BERNIE SANDERS, MICHAEL AVENATTI, HILLARY CLINTON, ELIZABETH WARREN, KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND, BETO O'ROURKE, ANDREW GILLUM, KAMALA HARRIS, CORY BOOKER, JULIAN CASTRO OR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG IN THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL RACE. THEY WILL BE SLAUGHTERED BY DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ACOLYTES IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. 

IF YOU ASK ME, NO DEMOCRAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO BEAT TRUMP. 

WHITE VOTERS AREN'T LOOKING FOR THE RAINBOW COALITION. THEY WANT WHITE MALE DOMINANCE. 

FOX NEWS IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN OPERATION. THEY REACH THESE WHITE VOTERS. THESE WHITE VOTERS WILL VOTE EVERY ELECTION.

FOX NEWS IS PROPAGANDA TO TRUMP AND WHITE EXTREMISM.

GUN VIOLENCE WILL CONTINUE. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER MEANINGLESS SYMPATHY AND NO SOLUTIONS TO CURB GUN VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY.

THE REPUBLICANS MAY HAVE LOST SOME GOVERNOR RACES AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, BUT THEY RETAIN THE SENATE.

MITCH MCCONNELL IS A DIRTY OLD WHITE MAN WHO WILL RAM THROUGH FEDERAL JUDGES AND ETHICALLY INCOMPETENT NOMINEES THROUGH THE SENATE.

THE SUPREME COURT WILL SWING CONSERVATIVE FOR 40 YEARS.

We have to do better. Given we are living in the age of Donald J. Trump, I swear it's going to worse.

We have to dust ourselves off and fight again. Fight for change and resist white male privilege and the status quo.

It's time to motivate. We got two years to get back in action. I know it's going to be a hard fight. But we're in this to win.

Trump is likely going to win in 2020. It's up to you and I to prevent it.

People Magazine Does Another Person Of Color For Their "Sexiest Man Alive" Cover!

Five years later, People Magazine picks British actor Idris Elba as their "Sexiest Man Alive." He will join two other men of color gracing that tabloid.

Idris Elba was finally picked as People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.

Damn, how long did this take?

Yeah, I am cynical about the choice. It could have been five years ago when me and SB covered this controversy. However, People Magazine heard the concern. Trust me, we were vocal.

After years of watching white men grace that tabloid, some started to notice something, "Why are all the pretty faces gracing the cover ALWAYS White?"

Elba joins Denzel Washington and Dwayne Johnson as the only men of color to grace that tabloid.

PEOPLE Magazine Picked A Person Of Color As Their Sexiest Man Alive. Is This The Beginning Of Change For The Tabloid? (Expect the dumbest answers picked by trolls)

Yes. I am happy to see more people of color grace the cover of PEOPLE. It's about time to show honor to men of color who often are overlooked by magazines as "sexiest:"

No. There's no improvement. PEOPLE Magazine were planning on picking another White man as their "sexiest." They wanted to quarrel backlash if they picked a person of color. I don't believe the hype.

I think the PEOPLE Magazine "Sexiest Man Alive" Covers are sexist. We should not judge men and women on how sexy they are.

I have no opinion of PEOPLE Magazine. It's their magazine, they can decide on who graces their cover. I don't care who it is.

The British actor who starred in The Wire as well Mandela: Walk To Freedom, Luther, and the Thor movie franchise is a heartthrob among women.

The actor was an only child who grew up in the neighborhoods of Hackney, London. Elba is an actor, music producer, singer, kickboxer, director, DJ and father to two children.

He is an amazing talent and finally People decided to acknowledge his accomplishments as a face of color who inspires millions of young Brits and Americans.

Elba became People Magazine's 33rd Sexiest Man Alive, joining a long list of Hollywood’s hottest, starting with a then-29-year-old Mel Gibson in 1985 to last year's pick Blake Shelton.

Who'd have thought it! Thank you @people & all the fans for naming me #SexiestManAlive. Don't forget to grab your issue this week https://t.co/WI7eWfXOPB. I'm honoured & thankful. What’s even more important is your vote in the midterm elections. Your vote can make a difference!👊🏾 pic.twitter.com/TBQapjxJsT

— Idris Elba (@idriselba) November 6, 2018

Though he was an athlete at his all-boys school in London, playing first-string football, basketball, cricket, hockey and rugby, the actor insists he went through an awkward phase first. "I was very tall and skinny," says the 6’3" Elba. "And my name was Idrissa Akuna Elba, okay? I got picked on a little bit. But as soon as I could grow a mustache, I was the coolest kid on the block. Grew a mustache, had some muscles, bonkers."

When he's not being one of Hollywood's brightest stars, Elba might be deejaying in Ibiza, kickboxing in Thailand, or designing his own clothing line, not to mention planning his wedding to his fiancée Sabrina Dhowre, 29, a model, to whom he proposed in February. But picking the happiest moment of his life is easy.

"Being witness to the birth of my children is the biggest and best thing ever," says Elba, who has a 16-year-old daughter, Isan, and a 4-year-old son, Winston (both from previous relationships). "I'm super doting, big hugs, kisses, lots of love-yous. I'm sure my daughter's like, 'All right Dad, chill out.' My son is still at that age where he loves a cuddle."

As for making a connection, Elba has learned the importance of "eye contact and empathy. You know, sort of reading someone's vibe," he says. "I love being confident, but also I know when to rein it in and just stay humble and grounded."

For now, the actor strives to live with as few regrets as possible. "Life isn’t about thinking about what you should have done," adds Elba, who is currently shooting the Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw with former Sexiest Man Alive Dwayne Johnson. "I think everyone should adopt the philosophy that tomorrow is not promised so just go for it today, man. You might as well do it to your heart’s content."

Tell me if any of them look familiar?

Cause I see only three men of color on that list.

We have to do better. Given we are living in the age of Donald J. Trump, I swear it's going to get worse.

We have to dust ourselves off and fight again. Fight for change and resist white male privilege and the status quo. The folks at People Magazine, local law enforcement agencies, the Republican Party and the uneducated white voter are a danger to people of color.

It's time to motivate. We got two years to get back in action. I know it's going to be a hard fight. But we're in this to win.

Trump is likely going to win in 2020. It's up to you and I to prevent it.

The Cost!

Regardless of what happened this election, we made a difference. 

Republicans win heavily in Texas, Missouri, Ohio, Florida, North Dakota, Indiana, Utah and Arizona. The defeat of two massively popular candidates of color hurts a bit. The Republicans keep hold of three gubernatorial states Donald J. Trump carried in 2016.

Georgia, Florida and Ohio went to Republicans. Despite the powerful backing of famous personalities, a heavy voter turnout and frequent presence, the Republicans managed to squeak through.

I choice to not watch the results. 

I see Republicans will pick up four seats in the Senate but will lose the House of Representatives. Trump will not call Nancy Pelosi or top Democratic leaders.

Rick Scott, Mike Braun, Josh Hawley, Marsha Blackburn, Ted Cruz, Kevin Cramer and Mitt Romney will continue to help Trump push through more Suprmee Court nominees. Even Joe Manchin will join in. 

Trump is likely to win his 2020 reelection by 75%. 

We will continue to see more gun violence, ridiculous laws passed in honor of murdered white people, voter suppression, more police officers killing people of color, openly racist candidates and more threats on Americans lives.

The economy could start tanking in a few years. More partisan gridlock.

Yeah, the racists won. White anger still exists. It's unfortunate that the United States is heading towards disaster. 

Decisions, Decisions!

Vote.

What happens tonight will make an impact on the United States.

Today is Election Day.

Some of the most closely watched races will change the impact of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate.

There will be some of the U.S. governor races that will be closely watched.

On behalf of me and SB, we thank you for reading World News Today.

We encourage you to make your voice heard by voting. It's very important that in the age of Donald J. Trump, we have to change the course we are in.

Regardless of what happens, we will continue to offer our honest take on issues in our community, the government and the media.

Watch live the outcome through CBSN.
