| Who are the real radicals in the United States? |
The Republican Party is the best recruitment tool for the Islamic State.
Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant want Republicans in the White House. They believe the Republican Party and its conservative allies are stupid. They see their rhetoric as a reason to inspire individuals who feel lost, forgotten, hated and hurt. The terrorists can prove to the inspired that Western nations are bigoted to Islam. They can say that Israel's influence on the world is the reason to why Muslims suffered at the hands of Western powers.
Republicans will try to cut government agencies. Some of those government agencies are essential to the health and safety of the United States. They will unwittingly allow terrorists a loophole.
 |
| Still up in the polls. Donald Trump's rhetoric is extreme but Republicans love it. |
The terrorists take advantage of the opportunities Republicans leave them.
People who get inspired by rhetoric by Islamic State will leave their families to join the extremist group. These are probably people who were bullied by society. They were spurned by a relationship. They were loners. They were the "NICE GUYS and GALS" who many never expected to be involved in terrorism.
Even in intelligence, the terrorists are getting better at alluding the spies. The terrorists believe that the United States will bankrupt trying to fight a faceless enemy.
The United States is actively attacking the group. The U.S. airstrikes are happening daily in Syria and Iraq. President Barack Obama is cautious about putting more troops back into Iraq and possibly Syria.
The Republicans are crowing that the president isn't doing not enough.

| Sarker Haque got a shiner after a bigot came into his store and punched him in the face. |
It's their tongues. Their tongues are slobbering with rhetoric that could inspire attacks on innocent civilians who are worshiping Muslims.
Now I don't blame the agitators for the rise in hate crimes. I am done trying to fault these people for spewing hate. They are allowed to spew hate. The fault of the actions carried out solely goes to the person who committed the crime. But let's do a poll before I go into my post.
Who's responsible for the rise in hate crimes against Muslims?
The word vomit de jour is "radical Islam". The agitators and candidates running for president have been on this kick about President Barack Obama not mentioning "radical Islam". They want the president to show leadership. Given a solution to handle terrorism, the Republicans and their conservative allies have two things on their mind: military boots on the ground or bomb them to hell.
Remember we have the freedom of speech to spew whatever nonsense we can agitate to the public with. It's unfortunate that the consequences could inspire people to violence.

| Man assaults a cashier as a restaurant in New York. |
A handful of Republican primary voters support the Trump idea of banning Muslims from entering the country. What's worse is the fact that religious tests are the very thing our founding fathers opposed.
A man in New York has been charged with a hate crime after he launched a profanity-laced, violent outburst at a restaurant in Manhattan.
The workers at this restaurant called Salt and Pepper was disturbed by the ignorance of Robert Murino. This 26-year old sponge soak was drunk and he began throwing his temper tantrum at Muslims.
He was caught on surveillance video hitting a worker with the five finger knuckle roll. He was ordered to leave the restaurant. He decided he didn't like the way he was being talked to, so he decides to pick up chairs and toss them over the counter. Some of the chairs ended up smashing the food case and food counter.
Tahir Mohmood was working behind the counter. He said that the sponge soak got violent after he started throwing his word vomit at paying customers about Muslims. He decided to throw his five finger roll at Tahir.
"You Muslim guys, you motherfuckers" was the word vomit chanted by Murino.
Tahir tried to defend himself from the blows and the flying chairs. While he went crazy, a witness Lina Parvin called the law. She was hiding under the counter crying.
 |
| Hate continues in the Western world. |
Murino was busted by the NYPD and was charged with criminal mischief and assault. They will likely charge him with a hate crime.
While that was going on in Manhattan, another man gets five finger rolled by another sponge soak.
The sponge soak managed to deck a Queens store owner. This happened by a man who wanted to "kill Muslims".
Fatima Food Mart owner Sarker Haque told the junk food media, that this sponge soak came into his store last Saturday and began serving him a five finger roll.
 |
| Brigitte Gabriel is a right wing extremist who appears on right wing networks. |
The sponge soak said that he wanted to "kill Muslims".
Sarker was fighting back tears when he told the junk food media that he emigrated from Bangladesh to make a life in the United States.
The sponge soak was identified as Piro Kolvani. He would have put Sarker in the hospital. If it wasn't for the actions of a Latino customer, Sarker would have been dead.
Kolvani will likely be charged with a hate crime.
"It doesn't matter what color or nationality you are," said Sarker. "We are in America. Everybody came from somewhere,"
There was a young girl in The Bronx was attacked by three boys at her middle school. The girl was a sixth grader who was playing recess. The three boys grabbed her hijab and tried to rip it off. They were taunting her. They referred her to "ISIS" the junk food media's portrayal of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
 |
| Vandalism. The ignorance sprayed on a mosque. |
The boys were placed in juvie time out. They face a court date for the allegations. The names of the victim and attackers were withheld.
The principal declined any comments when the junk food media swarmed up on the school.
The young girl and her family will likely file a lawsuit against the school and attackers.
Down the road, the Philadelphia Police and the FBI are investigating the deliberate act of hate at a mosque. There was a severed pig head left at the door of the mosque.
Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter said that these cowards will be brought to justice.
The head was found outside the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society early Monday morning.
Pork and products with byproducts of pork are haram or forbidden, in Islam.
Surveillance video shows a red truck driving by the mosque. On the return, the red truck stopped and someone decided to toss a butchered pig's head towards the door.
"It's too early in the investigation to determine if it is a hate crime, but I aniticapte that will be the direction the investigation will go," said Philadelphia top cop Leeloni Palmiero.
An earlier threat came to the mosque. A man said on a voicemail, "Are you happy about what happened in France?" "God is a pig!" and "God is pork!"

| The Bonnie & Clyde of anti-Islam. Pam Geller and Robert Spencer peddle Islamophobia. |
Now you know there were more incidents that happened besides what I've explained today.
It also goes to the recent incidents in California.
A sponge soak named Denise Slader threw coffee in the face of Rasheed Albeshari after he filmed the woman go into a verbal tirade about how Islam is the "devil religion". A park ranger intervened and told Slader to leave, she gets more irate when Rasheed told the ranger that she solely instigated the situation. Rasheed and his friends were praying in a park in San Francisco.
There was a fire at a mosque in southern California. In the deeps of Coachella, a community is gripped by a callous act of terrorism. In the wake of the San Bernardino attacks, Muslims in California are fearing the backlash.
The Islamic Center of Palm Springs was attacked by a firebomb. The fire was contained to the front lobby. No injuries were reported by the law.
 |
| They are Americans who want to worship in peace. |
A spokesman for the Riverside County Sheriff's office declined to state whether the event is considered an act of terrorism or an arson.
The mosque is 75 miles from San Bernardino. The attack has went into its second week and conservatives are still egging it on. The sponges keep soaking up the narrative that American Muslims are secretly plotting for the destruction of the United States.
The mosque was hit by gunfire in November 2014 in what authorities investigated as a possible hate crime. No one was injured in this attack but this case is still under federal investigation.
These incidents have Muslims fearing terrorism from their fellow Americans.
Democratic lawmaker Rep. Rual Ruz of California said that this act is tragic. He believes this is a result of a hate crime.
What we should call these incidents explained as acts of terrorism.
But who am I?
I'm just a blogger who calls a spade a spade!

| The White guy strolls Akron streets with a firearm and there's nothing the law can do about it. He has a right to do so under the Ohio open carry law. |
If a mass shooting happens, the blame game often comes into play. From the Charleston shooting to the most recent shooting in San Bernardino, the agitators want to point fingers at each other rather than solve problems. President Barack Obama said that we're becoming numb to mass shootings. It's like an everyday occurrence in the country.
When the shooter is Black, he's either a thug or Obama's son. When the shooter is a Muslim, he's either a terrorist or a supporter of "radical Islam". When the shooter is Hispanic, he's either an illegal or a drug smuggler.
When it comes to innocence before guilt, Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims are often guilty before trial.
When it comes to White people, they're innocent until proven guilty.
White people are often given glowing profiles when they're arrested. Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims are given menacing profiles (i.e. use of drugs, hand signs, criminal history or views opposed to the United States).
White people stockpiling firearms is just prevent a government gun grab. Muslims stockpiling firearms is a potential terrorist attack.
The junk food media ignores "NICE GUYS" being the most dangerous individuals to ever hold a firearm. The "NICE GUY" is probably the ones who are likely going to commit acts of mass murder.
These are the people who are shunned by society. They have been hurt by relationships, jobs, discrimination, and unfortunate circumstances. They get influenced by events, groups or self-infliction.
Raw Story reported on an Ohio man deliberately toying with residents. He is using Ohio's open carry laws to walk around neighborhoods with a loaded semi-automatic firearm.
Daniel Kovacevic, 25 year old man was testing the law.
So he goes into Akron and Cleveland wearing his firearm on his holster. He stands near a Black barbershop.
The barber is of course shaken by this. He calls the law on Kovacevic and they come to the area. Of course, the law was tied up with other issues and said that he wasn't causing any problems in the area.
The owner Deone Slater did not want the man with his rifle hanging out in front of his shop.
He escapes the law without a scratch on him. Many in Black America are fumed up over the fact that a White man with a firearm can stroll through Black neighborhoods without being arrested or shot.
But when it comes to John Crawford picking up a BB gun from the Walmart shelves and Tamir Rice playing with a pallet gun, they were shot on sight.
“He was a threat to my community,” Slater said. “If I can prevent him from shooting up the city, I would. I won’t condone it. Somebody’s got to stand up.”
Slater said he was yelling profanities at Kovacevic when police arrived, and that Kovacevic said little during the confrontation other than to ask him if he was a Christian.
“I told him to take his guns off. I told him let me have five or 10 minutes with him without his weapons,” Slater said before adding that the police seemed more concerned with him than the man carrying the gun, and that he believes race plays a part in it.
“They (police) were more concerned about me than him, as if I were the threat,” Slater explained. “If it were me with a gun, they would have shut the whole block down.”
“He’s a threat to me and my people. He’s a threat to me.”
Police have been monitoring Kovacevic for days after receiving calls from security at University of Akron that he was seen near the school carrying his rifle.
Had he been a Black man, he would have been shot on sight.

Will the conservatives label this terrorist a "Democrat"?
I am waiting on the media to figure if he's a member of the Islamic State?
I am waiting on the media to find out if he support the Tea Party Movement.
I don't give a flying fuck about the political views this terrorist. The only thing that I care about is the fact that this terrorist and his wife managed to massacre innocent civilians in San Bernardino.
There were some reports that an argument occurred before his departure.
The terrorists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik went into the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, with 14 dead and 18 injured. The terrorists targeted a party for employees of the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, held in an auditorium with at least 100 people, before fleeing in an SUV.
Conservatives are already placing the blame on the Muslim community. The Muslim community isn't responsible for the actions of one. Nobody I know supports senseless violence.Just today, I just looked at the comments of the previous story posted yesterday and our resident right wing troll continues vomit on the comment pages with the usual tactics.
Deflection, distraction, diversion and disengage. This is the tactics of conservatives in the junk food media. They are so obsessed with "radical Islam" they fail to recognize the obvious. Gun crime is on the rise and our American lawmakers are inept in getting things done.
It seems like it's going to be a discussion about firearms in the workplace or firearms in the hands of those with mental issues. Mental issues and firearms are often associated with mass murders.
But somehow our inept Congress refuses to do something about it. Congress aided by their agitating friends found a solution to mass shootings. They call for more guns in the workplace. More looser restrictions to own firearms.
These laws mainly apply for White people. Whites people rather not see their restrictions to have firearms impeded. The agitators and some in Congress rather see firearm restrictions on Blacks, Latinos and Muslims.
In the wake of tragedies, the Republicans don't want President Barack Obama to "politiicize" a tragedy for gains. But given that the terrorists may have been inspired by the Islamic State, expect Republicans to going to "politicize" this. They will find ways to pressure military involvement back in Iraq and Syria. They want the American military to stop the Islamic State but offer no direct strategy to taking the extremist group.
They will use this tragedy as an excuse destroy the Iranian nuclear deal.
Mass shootings are becoming almost a daily occurrence.
See once again, our junk food media will spook the American people with tales of the scary Muslim.
Here's the usual tactics of the junk food media.
Black Shooters = Thugs = Muslim Shooters = Terrorists = White Shooters = Mental Illness
Black Drug Dealers = Thugs = Hispanic Drug Dealers = Drug Cartels = White Drug Dealers = Troubled
RIGHT WING TROLLS = WHAT ABOUT THIS?

| Mass shooting in San Bernardino. |
A bullet has no eyes. It will always hit a target.
Stay tuned for the Blame Game. I will take an opportunity to write about it as soon as I can.
While I was at work, I heard about this tragedy in California. Matter of fact, I just shake my head when I heard about it. Another mass shooting in the United States. Just last Friday, a mass shooting.
Every month has been a mass shooting. And it seems to be getting worse by the day.
Here in the United States, we have more gun violence than any other nation in the world.
Our inept lawmakers are ignoring the obvious. The Republican Party and their conservative allies are totally stupid. They say that all criminals are Democrats. They believe that "radical Islam" is a bigger threat than gun violence.
Now I can assure you that many on the left are getting tired of hearing the right sending prayers and thoughts to the families. I am getting tired of hearing agitators complain about "politicizing" events.
I am getting tired of having to hear every agitator point to one group instead of the shooter.
This shit should be politicized. We're not doing enough to stop gun violence.
 |
| Tactical units were dispatched. |
The shooters reportedly targeted a banquet hosted by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, held in an auditorium with at least 100 people in attendance.
Initial reports indicated there may have been up to three shooters with rifles. They fled in an SUV.
Syed Farook was leaked to the junk food media as one of the suspects still at large. He has managed to elude authorities for the time being.
Democratic governor Jerry Brown and President Barack Obama were notified about the situation.
The presidential candidates have also been notified and express condolences for the victims.
President Barack Obama went right into it. "Our hearts go out to the victims and their families." He further commented, "People we don't allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm and there's nothing that we can do to stop them. That's a law that needs to be changed."
He called for bipartisan cooperation to reduce the frequency of events such as this.
Who will actually be blamed for the mass shooting tragedy in San Bernardino?
This goes right up with the Sandy Hook tragedy.
GUN CONTROL ISN'T ABOUT TAKING YOUR GUNS!
IT'S ABOUT KEEPING THEM OUT OF THE HANDS OF STREET GANGS, DRUG CARTELS, PEOPLE INVOLVED IN SEX TRAFFICKING, TERRORISTS, VIOLENT CRIMINALS, ANIMAL POACHERS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE MENTAL ISSUES OR ABUSIVE FAMILY MEMBERS!
WILL IT TAKE THE SHOOTING OF A GUN RIGHTS SUPPORTING REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT TO CHANGE THE TONE?
I GUESS NOT! CAUSE GABRIELLE GIFFORDS WAS A GUN SUPPORTING LAWMAKER WHO WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD. SHE BARELY SURVIVED HER SHOOTING. NOW SHE IS PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND NOT ONE OF HER COLLEAGUES IN CONGRESS DONE ONE THING TO CHANGE THE TONE.
WHO'S GOING TO BE SHOT BY A PERSON WITH MENTAL ISSUES OR EXTREME POLITICAL VIEWS?
HOW MANY COPS WILL BE KILLED BY ASSAULT WEAPONS?
HOW MANY INNOCENT VICTIMS AND UNARMED CRIMINALS BE KILLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT?
HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE TO BE SHOT FOR DOING THEIR JOBS AS PUBLIC SERVANTS, RETAIL CLERKS, FEDERAL WORKERS, AND THOSE WHO REPORT THE NEWS?
WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO BE BULLIES TO THOSE WHO MAY EVENTUALLY TAKE REVENGE ON ALL OF US AT THE BARREL OF A GUN?
I'M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THIS! WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE ISSUE WITH FIREARMS AND THE RISE OF EXTREMISM CAUSED BY HOSTILE POLITICS!
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND CONGRESS BETTER GET THEIR HEADS OUT THEIR ASSES! THIS STUFF IS HAPPENING EVERYDAY AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING TIRED OF IT.
I DON'T WANT PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS. I WANT ACTION NOW! NO MORE BULLSHIT ABOUT GUN GRABS AND FALSE EQUIVALENCIES! END THE BLAME GAME! END GUN VIOLENCE!

| Anthony Kennedy joined the liberal justices Steven Breyer, Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor in an extremely historical decision. The gay marriage bans in states like Ohio, Kentucky, Florida and Texas are gone. The United States Supreme Court ruled, gay marriage the law of the land. |
A HUGE DAY IN AMERICA FOR OUR FRIENDS IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY! THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE STATE BANS ON GAY MARRIAGE ARE ILLEGAL.
GAY MARRIAGE AND GAY ADOPTION ARE NOW LEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES.
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE IN THE COUNTRY.
THE ROBERTS COURT FINALLY WENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
A big day in the Supreme Court. The legality of marriage is now equal for all.
In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that all state mandated gay marriage bans are discriminatory.
 |
| Win for the LGBT community. |
The justices found that under the 14th Amendment, states must issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex unions that were legally performed in other states.
The lead plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges is Ohio resident Jim Obergefell, who wanted to be listed as the surviving spouse on his husband's death certificate. In 2013, Obergefell married his partner of two decades, John Arthur, who suffered from ALS. Arthur passed away in October of that year, three months after the couple filed their lawsuit.
Obergefell was joined by several dozen other gay plaintiffs from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee who were fighting both to be able to marry and to have their marriage recognized in every state in the country.
 |
| Family matters. The Supreme Court made a historical decision on gay marriage. |
President Barack Obama became the first sitting president to support marriage equality when he came out in favor of it in 2012, the same year that the Democratic Party made it part of its platform for the first time. The Republican Party and its slate of 2016 presidential aspirants, however, remain opposed to same-sex marriage. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) support a constitutional amendment protecting states that want to ban marriage equality.
Some conservatives have advocated for a civil disobedience effort against a Supreme Court decision in favor of same-sex marriage. However, officials in red states told The Huffington Post recently that they are prepared to implement the decision, going so far as to ready gender-neutral marriage licenses and set later office hours. Gerard Rickhoff, who oversees marriage licenses in Bexar County, Texas, said that if same-sex couples are discriminated against elsewhere in the state, "Just get in your car and come on down the highway. You'll be embraced here."

Devorise Dixon was sharing on the social media his experience at a KFC restaurant in California.
What he shared on the social media was a piece of food that kind of looked like a rat. A deep fired rat which got the Yum! Brands' attention. They were really pissed that a restaurant would dare put a rat in their products. There was gonna be a cannon firing. Matter of fact, there were going to be cuffs on the perpetrator who done it.
Dixon and his lawyer brought their lawsuit to the KFC.
KFC had an independent DNA test of the questionable product. When the results came out, it determined that the piece in question was chicken.
KFC released a statement:
 |
| California man claims that KFC sacked him a rat in a meal. |
Dixon wrote on Facebook.
"I went to KFC and [brought] a 3 [piece] chicken tender! As I bit into a piece of it [I] noticed it was very hard/touch and rubbery! Which sent this deep chill down my body! I looked down at it and saw it was a cooked rat! Made me feel sick!"
Dixon claimed that he returned to the KFC in question and said that the manager confirmed that the tender was a rat. The KFC manager apologized.
KFC said not so fast. The branch in question had told the junk food media that they haven't talked to Dixon.
KFC may ban Dixon from their stores if he doesn't owe up and apologize.
KFC stands by it's products and they take all controversies seriously. Last year, the fast food chain faced harsh criticism from the social media after a family claimed that their child was kicked out because of her injuries from a dog. The family would recant their story after KFC shelved out $200,000 to aid in her medical bills.
Another You Can't Fix Stupid Story for you!
It's finger licking good......

| Richard Matt and David Sweat managed to breakout of the iron college. Clinton Correctional is one of the toughest iron colleges. The law vows their escape will be short lived. |
The conservatives will certainly find some blame in this. They will immediately blame Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio for two dangerous inmates escaping from the iron college. They actually had the audacity to leave a smiley face underneath their bed sheets.
Conservatives are often concern trolls when it comes to criminal behavior. They automatically blame liberal governors and softies on not establishing the death penalty.
New York is one of the states that has no death penalty.
Say if this was in Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, California and Ohio?
This is the word vomit of the "would haves". They like to make accusations of liberal policies leading to criminal violence.
The feds and state patrol are searching for the two. These two men had LIFE in the iron college. One killed a deputy and another killed his former boss and dismembered the body. Now escaping from the iron college will net state charges. But since the feds are involved in this, expect this to be a federal charge.
These two had inside help. And of course, the warden will interview all the employees. Clinton Correctional is one of the country's most toughest iron colleges. It's maximum and it was one of the very few iron colleges that interns have a rare chance to escape.
Who the hell gave them power tools?
Who was responsible for bed check?
How did they figure out the layout?
Two words: Corrupt worker!
So now there's a nationwide BOLO on Richard Matt and David Sweat. These men are considered armed and dangerous. The law also warned those who aid in their escape will be charged as well.
They will automatically go to federal time out. They will head to a Supermax if they are apprehended. If they are willing to go out like that, the feds and state will plug them with lead.
CNN got something to talk about. They told tales of their daring escape. Something out of a movie, right?
Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34, were discovered missing at the 5:30 a.m. "standing count" of inmates at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York State Police said on the agency's Facebook page.
An intense manhunt was underway with more than 200 law enforcement officers looking for the men -- the first to escape from the maximum security portion of the prison, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a press conference.
 |
| Laughing all the way out of the iron college, two interns leave the guards a "Have a nice day" note. |
The prisoners apparently were last seen at 10:30 p.m. Friday during a standing count, authorities said.
Head counts are performed every two hours throughout the night when guards visually check to see whether inmates are in their bunks, Clinton Correctional Facility Supervisor Steven Racette said.
Matt and Sweat tricked the guards by arranging things in the bunks to look "like people were sleeping ... with these sweatshirt hoodies on," the governor said. The inmates were discovered missing at the 5:30 a.m. inmate count.
The men had side-by-side cells and apparently had obtained power tools to cut through the steel wall in their cells, authorities said.
The escapees followed a catwalk "down an elaborate maze of pipes into tunnels and exited a series of tunnels at the manhole cover," Cuomo said.
 |
| Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo is pissed. The prison warden and governor actually walked through the escape route. |
"It was elaborate, it was sophisticated," he said. "It involved drilling through steel walls, steel pipes."
Authorities don't know how the prisoners got the power tools. Clinton Correctional Facility was built in 1845 and undergoes regular maintenance, so it's possible the tools came from the contractors and workmen who are often inside the facility, Cuomo said.
Sweat was serving life without parole after being convicted first-degree murder in the death of a Broome County sheriff's deputy on July 4, 2002, state police said.
Matt is serving 25 years to life. He was convicted on three counts of murder, three counts of kidnapping and two counts of robbery after he kidnapped a man and beat him to death in December 1997, the state police said.
The prison in the northeast corner of New York is the state's largest iron college with a population of 2,689 inmates, the corrections department said.

In a ruling today, the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of the plaintiff who filed a federal lawsuit against a suburban clothing retailer.
EEOC v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., was a court ruling stops selective hiring practices by companies such as New York-based clothing outlet Abercrombie & Fitch.
Whether an employer can be liable under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for refusing to hire an applicant or discharging an employee based on a “religious observance and practice” only if the employer has actual knowledge that a religious accommodation was required and the employer's actual knowledge resulted from direct, explicit notice from the applicant or employee.
 |
| Hani Khan. |
Those involved the clothing company were prepared for this. They were committed to ending its discrimination practices towards hires who were Black, Hispanic, fat, and practicing Muslim.
They fired CEO Mike Jeffries out the cannon after he and his boyfriend ran the company into the ground. Mike and his boyfriend were blowing money fast. They were telling the public that they have to be catered by male models who had to look the part. The controversial business executive was bold in his demands. He didn't want fat people, Black people and unattractive people wearing his company's logo.
 |
| 70 year old man-child Mike Jeffries was forced out of A&F/Hollister. The loaded him and his partner in the cannon and fired them out. |
Hani Khan, 23 was the most recognizable face of the ruling. She was fired from a California Hollister store after she was told that she could not be on the A&F floor. So they sent her to the Hollister to work in the break room. When she came onto the floor to assist a guest, a manager told her to head home and not come back.
She took her concerns to the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and they filed a federal lawsuit against the compnay.
Now based in New Albany, Ohio outside of Columbus, the board was taking a lot of heat.
Sales are down. Many stores might close and its trying to rebuilt its image. According to the new rules, you can wear whatever you want. You don't have to be a white girl with blonde hair or a white guy with ripped muscles wearing jeans tucked up with sandals.
They want to bring young teens back to the A&F and Hollister stores. They even introduced large and XXL sizes for customers.
Jeffries and his 22 years on the board wrecked the company.
The company can not deny an employee based on race, gender, religion, social, political or economic standings.
It stands for all companies in the United States and its territories.
Congratulations to Ms. Hani Khan. She defined the odds. She took on a business that thought it was "too big to fail" and won.

| Louis Johnson was a great performer. He passed away. |
If you've heard of the songs "I'll Be Good To You", "Ain't We Funkin' Now" and "Strawberry Letter 22" and "Stomp", you have to give credit to The Brothers Johnson.
The 1970s group consist of brothers Louis and George Johnson. They were known as Lightin and Thunder Thumbs.
Well today it's confirmed by the family that Louis had passed away.
It was confirmed that he passed away on Thursday. Conditions are unknown but it was released today of his passing.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Louis Johnson.
Wikipedia has an explanation about this.
Johnson was best known for his group The Brothers Johnson and his session playing on several hit albums of the 1970s and 1980s including the "best selling album of all time" Thriller.
His signature sound was from the Music Man StingRay bass which Leo Fender especially made for him to first use and promote, and form his slapping technique
Guitarist/vocalist George and bassist/vocalist Louis formed the band Johnson Three Plus One with older brother Tommy and their cousin Alex Weir while attending school in Los Angeles, California.
When they became professionals, the band backed such touring R&B acts as Bobby Womack and the Supremes. George and Louis Johnson later joined Billy Preston's band and wrote Music in My Life and The Kids and Me for him before leaving his group in 1973. In 1976, The Brothers covered the Beatles' song, Hey Jude, for the ephemeral musical documentary All This and World War II.Quincy Jones hired them to play on his LP Mellow Madness, and recorded four of their songs, including Is It Love That We're Missing? and Just a Taste of Me.
After touring with various artists including Bobby Womack and Billy Preston, they were hired by Quincy Jones for a tour in Japan and produced their debut album Look Out For #1, released in March 1976 (#9 US) Their Right on Time album was released in May 1977 and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 200. Blam!! came out in August 1978 and reached number 7 on the Billboard 200.
Two of the duo's songs were featured on the soundtrack of the 1976 film Mother, Jugs & Speed. The instrumental track Thunder Thumbs and Lightnin' Licks refers to the brothers' nicknames. Get the Funk Out Ma Face was cowritten with Quincy Jones.
Their popular album Light Up The Night was released in March 1980 and rose to #5 on the Billboard 200. It was number 46 on the "Top 100 LPs of 1980" list in Rolling Stone Magazine. The brothers self-produced the subsequent album, Winners; released in July 1981, it only reached #48 on the Billboard 200.
Among their most popular songs are I'll Be Good to You (Billboard Hot 100 #3 in 1976), Strawberry Letter 23 (Hot 100 #5 in 1977, originally recorded by Shuggie Otis), Ain't We Funkin' Now (1978), and Stomp! (Hot 100 #7 and Hot Dance Music/Club Play #1 in 1980). Their styles include funk, and R&B ballads. Each album also included at least one instrumental cut that would either be considered lite jazz (Tomorrow 1976, Q 1977, Smilin' On Ya 1980, Tokyo 1984) or Funk (Thunder Thumbs &Lightning Licks 1976, Brother Man 1976, Mista Cool 1978, Celebrations 1980).

| Full House sequel on the way. |
Retro television reboot.... As with Disney's Ducktales the possibility of more 80s theme sitcoms and animation are steamrolling into your home.
I got to say that if it wasn't for ABC's The Goldbergs, I wouldn't be so happy to see the past come back. I mean I grew up in the 1980s when television was good. Cable became just a switch box with 40 channels and Saturday mornings were cartoons and cereal.
Now in 2015. If you don't have cable, your mornings will be likely woken to infomercials, Litton educational programs, news blocks, and reality television (i.e. courtroom shows, Dr. Phil, Jerry Springer, and Ellen).
I will blame the Obamas for this only. Last year The CW ended its Saturday morning animation block. That was the last animation block to ever air on a major television broadcaster.
It was the end of an era. While some blame the rise of cable and the numerous other animation shows, I have to blame President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
The Health Eating (Let's Move) Program was a factor. The first lady was concerned that too many children weren't getting enough exercise and eating high calorie foods such as McDonald's.
 |
| Full House cast. John Stamos is confirming that a sequel is go. |
Walmart, McDonald's, Kellogg's, Pillsbury, Wendy's, and other business decided to cut the cord on the smiley face, Ronald McDonald, Tony The Tiger and the Doughboy.
The networks decided that cartoons were a factor to children being overweight and not exercising.
So in order to meet federal mandates and eliminate a costly time block, they ended the Saturday morning cartoons. ABC, CBS, The CW have partnered with Litton Entertainment. Now on Saturdays you either get a huge news block, infomercials, and this bullshit.
Yeah, I fault Obama for it.
 |
| John Stamos, Bob Saget, Mary-Kay and Ashley Olsen. Stamos is pissed that the Olsen twins declined the offer to return to television. They have declined to appear on the Full House reboot. |
Minor television networks continue to air Saturday morning cartoons while meeting those mandates (for now).
This issues are the reasons to why Saturday Morning Cartoons are non existent. I am a fan of animation. It gave me a sense of leaving the meaningless and gave me a sense of fantasy. Imagining that I could be the hero or villain in a show. Gave me something to relax to instead of the partisan rancor of politicians. I didn't want to know what goes on in a reality television star's personal life.
But on the bright side, some of the series I've watched are coming back for new seasons.
The Flash is speeding into season two on The CW.
The Odd Couple gets a second season on CBS.
Girl Meets World is on Disney and its a sequel to Boy Meets World. Disney gave it a go for a second season.
Now Full House is Fuller House. And it's going to premiere on Netflix in Fall 2016.
Miller-Boyett Productions, Warner Bros. teamed up again with Jeff Franklin and John Stamos to relaunch the hit sitcom to Netflix. In this edition Candace Cameron Bure (DJ) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy) living in a home with their children trying to adjust to being mothers.
The series will feature Stamos (Jesse), Bob Saget (Danny), Dave Coulier (Joey), Jodie Sweetin,(Stephanie), and Lori Loughlin (Rebecca) in supporting roles.
What's missing is Mary Kay and Ashley Olsen. The twin sisters were playing one role, Michelle.
Now the 28 year old sisters have confirmed that it's a "NO GO" for them. For the time being, the feud between them and the rest of cast stems over contractual disputes.

| Got a long way to go. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) got caught on camera making a racially insensitive remark about Native Americans in front of Indian-American supporters. |
It's a long way to next year's primaries and it already seems like its a wash for a congresswoman.
The Democratic congresswoman from California is under fire after she was caught on camera making an offensive remark towards Native Americans and thus pissed off Indian-Americans.
She is also running for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA).
Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) along with California's Secretary of State Kamala Harris have openly declared their intentions on running for the Democratic nomination.
Whomever wins this event will face the Republican nominee.
So far I call it "LIKELY DEMOCRAT" for the time being. California is a stronghold for Democrats.
But if you're a candidate running for higher office, you know that the cameras from your opponents and the junk food media will follow your every move.
Sanchez, a Latina should have known better.

| Swearing in for Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) (right) and her sister Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) (on the left). |
I am going to his office, thinking that I am going to meet with a 'woo woo woo woo' (stereotypical Indian war cry) — Right? ... because he said Indian American.
That shocked the audience and word got to the Democratic National Committee. The Democratic chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) was pissed. Matter of fact, it may hurt Sanchez in fundraising during her primary battle against Harris.
After a dodging a few cameras, Sanchez eventually apologized for her comments.
Sanchez represents Santa Ana towards Anaheim. Her district is considered moderate at best. She is a conservative Democrat and a long time fixture in California. She and her sister Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) have both represented California for years.
Sanchez made slip ups before, but this one managed to catch the junk food media and conservative agitator's attention.

If you live in an open carry state and you happen to be Black, a Hispanic or a Muslim guess what?
You're still going to be detained by the law. Matter of fact, the law will be ready to open fire on you.
This is the type of stuff that ended the lives of Tamir Rice and John Crawford in the hands of law enforcement.
Crawford was gunned down by Beavercreek cops in August after he grabbed an open air rifle off the shelf in a Dayton, Ohio Walmart. He didn't even get a proper warning. The moment the Beavercreek Ohio cop saw him he opened fire.
Tamir Rice was gunned down in November after he was playing in a park with an air rifle. The Cleveland cop pulled up on him. In less than two seconds, he guns down the 12 year old boy.
The YouTube user Willy Upchuck uploaded this video.
It shows a bunch of White guys carrying their AR-15 and Rugers. A county sheriff's deputy confronts them. He asked them what they were doing and they've complied. The deputy lets them head on their way.
In the next video a Black guy is carrying his AR-15. Within 45 seconds the county sheriff's deputy comes up on him. He exits the vehicle with service weapon drawn. He tells the Black guy to eat dirt and don't move.
The Black guy was with his pregnant girlfriend and she was recording it. The girlfriend reminds the officer that he didn't do nothing wrong. The officer warns him that he's being recorded and the girlfriend reminds the officer she's recording him. During the three minutes the officer is still drawn with his weapon calls for back up.
During that ordeal, the Black guy is detained his weapon was confiscated and they brought out a canine to do a drug search.
The Black guy had the AR-15 on his hip and a cup of coffee. Nothing more. But it drew more than four police vehicles two officers with guns drawn and one officer with a dog.
Makes you wonder why these lawmakers pass these laws?
Were they intended for the White guy afraid of a Browner nation?
Thanks to the folks over at Addicting Info and Willy Upchuck for uploading it.
It has nearly 500,000 views.

| Three central characters from The Simpsons. Flanders, Mr. Burns and Principal Skinner. They were voiced by comedian/talk radio host Harry Shearer. He announced on social media that he's bouncing from the show. |
This comes as a major blow to the long running animated sitcom.
Harry Shearer, the voice of twelve central characters on The Simpsons announced that he's departing before the next season.Show producer Al Jean stated that they're working on solutions to this. But if Harry doesn't want to continue, they press on.
The remaining cast signed on for extended contracts that continue them into Season 29.
Dan Castellaneta (Homer, Krusty the Clown, Kudos and others)
Julie Kavner (Marge, Patti and Selma)
Nancy Cartwright (Bart, Nelson, Ralph and Maggie)
Yeardley Smith (Lisa)
Hank Azaria (Apu, Chief Wiggim, Moe, Karl and others)
Harry is best known for playing Flanders, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Rainier Wolfcastle, Kent Brockman, Scratchy, Dr. Hibbert, Lenny, Otto, Rev. Lovejoy, alien Kane and Principal Seymour Skinner.
With Harry stepping down, it may have imploded The Simpsons.
Fox greenlights The Simpsons for two more seasons. The sitcom established in 1987 has been a focal for the struggling Fox network. This along with Family Guy, Bob's Burgers and the now cancelled Animation Domination Saturday were the only animated shows on a major network.
These are adult cartoons. You can't forget that.

| Harry Shearer contributes to The Simpsons, The Huffington Post and hosts Le Show. |
The Simpsons survived 573 episodes. The sitcom has nosedive throughout the years. When it was introduced in 1987 it started with a mere 2 million viewers. Then they moved it to Thursday at 8pm. During the 1988 to 1996 years The Simpsons seen its ratings in the 12 millions.
Since the movie, the sitcom has declined in quality and often times have become repetitive and boring. Even I must admit some of the episodes were sleepers (i.e. boring).
Harry Shearer is also a contributor to The Huffington Post and is the host of Le Show, a political talk and satire program. He is a comedian, musician, author, and jack of all trades.
He was the co-writer and producer of cult rock comedy This is Spinal Tap.

| The central figure of many characters of The Simpsons is leaving. Harry Shearer departure hits the long running sitcom. |
American Idol will end after Season 16. Glee ends gracefully.
Weird Loners, Backstrom, The Following, Red Band Society, Mulaney, Utopia were cut from the list.
It's coming to an end for the world's longest running animated sitcom.
Do you believe that Harry's departure will certainly end the sitcom?
Here's one from Hulu/YouTube. The Tree House of Terror episode where Skinner is planning on eating Bart and Lisa.
