| Cosby still fighting a win-less war. |
Coming out of hiding, Bill Cosby decides to hand ring the accusers who went to the junk food media.
Cosby who admits to drugging women and having sex with them. He says that the sex was consensual. Cosby decides to save what's left of his falling career as America's "favorite dad".
Cosby decides to sue Tamera Green, Therese Serignese, Linda Traitz, Louisa Moritz, Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis and Angela Leslie.
Lawyer Monique Pressley says the women published false statements about the 78-year old entertainer. The suit says that the women made "malicious, opportunistic and false and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against him." His attorneys claim that these women "knowingly published false statements and accusations."
Cosby decides to fight back against the accusers. There's about 50 accusers.
The suit was filed in response to a defamation lawsuit brought against him by the accusers.
Gloria Allred represents a majority of Cosby's accusers. She was once a friend of the Cos.
Actress/model Janice Dickinson also knocked Cosby in a lawsuit. She believes he took advantage of her. She also broke her silence on the numerous issues Cosby threw towards her.These accusations spanned throughout 30 years. Many of the accusers are pass the window of pressing charges.
What these accusers want is for Bill Cosby's legacy as the "moral figure" to go down in flames.
What they want is for Camille to understand that her husband was running the streets.
Cosby survived many tragedies in his time as entertainer. The death of his only son Ennis and the extortion attempt from another accuser happened when the heat wasn't on him. Ennis was murdered on California's busiest bypass Interstate 405 in 1997. Cosby was accused by Autumn Jackson. Jackson claimed Cosby was her father. Cosby had an affair with Shawn Upshaw and it may have produced a daughter. Jackson was sentenced to time in the iron college for extortion.
In 2015, all the networks that had Cosby-related shows were pulled. MTV networks (Nickelodeon, TVLand, Nick, Jr./Nick@Nite), TV One, BET, BounceTV, Ion, and others pulled the plug on the shows.
A Different World is the only Cosby themed show still on for the time being. The episodes featuring Cosby were pulled from lineup. That would be episodes in Season One with Lisa Bonet and Marissa Tomei.
Cosby was stripped of his honorary degrees. He lost his statues in his honor at HBUs. Drexel, Temple, U-Mass, Wilberforce, Central State, Clark Atlanta, Spellman, Morehouse, Howard and Florida A&M put the brakes Cosby's donations and pulled his name from the campus.
Cosby is married. He has five children and three grandchildren. His only son was murdered. Cosby is an actor, comedian, movie producer, author,

Today is National Adoption Day.
A number of courts and communities in the United States come together to finalize thousands of children from foster care. More than 300 events are held each year on the Saturday before the Thanksgiving weekend.
In the U.S. and Puerto Rico, many American children in foster care will be adopted.
About 40,000 children could be adopted a year from foster care.
It was started by The Alliance for Children's Rice, Children's Action Network, the Freddie Mac Foundation and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.
The Wendy's founder Dave Thomas grew up in a foster home and before he started one of the country's largest fast food restaurants, he devoted his life to community service.
He would create the foundation to help young children find homes.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the definition of marriage is bound by two loving couples. Now straight and gay couples across the United States will have an opportunity to adopt children.
My community has the Montgomery County Job and Family Services. The adoption home sits on 1921 North Main Street. It's been there for years. The adoption agency is devoted to help children find homes.
World News Today offers our support to National Adoption Day.
No child should not be without a home.

| Jared Fogle goes to federal time out. |
Once out he will register as a tier III sex offender for the rest of his life. He will have lost contact with his children, his wife and his vast fortune. He lost his "black card" with Subway.
All the fame, all the celebrities, all the luxury of being in the limelight is gone!
Fogle and his partner both had this obsession with popping little cherries. He was fixated on having sex with underage children.
He plead guilty to harboring child porn. He plead guilty to traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor.
He admits to the world that he had sex with underage girls and boys. He admits having sex with other women including prostitutes.
Fogle will now head to the FDX Marion. The federal time out is in Marion, Illinois. We'll find out where he will go. He's not a violent criminal. He is a sexual offender and they usually sent the interments to Marion for treatment.
Fogle tearfully apologized to the court and the victims as the judge handed him the sentence.
The lawyers were hoping for a five year bid on the basis of leniency. The prosecutors were hoping for 12 years and some change. The judge was more brutal. The judge saw Fogle as a selfish man who presents a danger to children. Fogle used his fortune to deliberately manipulate children into sexual encounters. The federal informant tipped off the law when she overheard him say that "teenage girls are sexy". Fogle told the federal informant that he wanted to have sex with her and two underage teens for his sexual fantasies and would gladly pay them for the encounter.
Now again, if you're caught up in a federal case and handed a sentence, you will serve the sentence in full. There's no early release in federal time out. You will serve all the sentence before they release you to post disposition control.
Fogle will be 54 years old by the time he gets out of the federal time out.

| The global city of Paris was rocked by a horrific terrorist attack. |
I don't want to jump to conclusions on the death count, but I can tell you that the causality count is extremely high. Me and S. Baldwin send our condolences to the victims of tonight's tragedy in Paris.
According to the numerous sources, there was a series of mass shootings and bombings in the entertainment districts of Paris.
This worst of the attacks happened at the Le Bataclan Music Hall. The concert featured American rock band Eagles of Death Metal. While people were cheering on the music, these terrorists opened fire on concert goers, people enjoying dinner and watching a soccer event. These individuals who were cornered by the law decided to take more lives out by detonating suicide explosives.
This tragedy has merit global attention.
#PrayforParis is trending on the social networks.
The blame game also is trending.
I am picturing our conservative agitators saying that President Barack Obama didn't do enough or say enough. I can imagine that terrorism will be front and center in the Democratic debate. I can imagine that Republicans will agitate bigotry towards Muslims.
Muslims condemn this tragedy.
The French government imposed a mandatory curfew for the entire country. President François Hollande announced that borders are closed. He also vows to find everyone involved in this tragedy.
The leaders come to the aid of the French government. President Barack Obama, Britain's David Cameron, Canada's Justin Trudeau, Germany's Angela Murkel, and Russia's Vladimir Putin all send sympathies to the French Republic.
The Beirut bombings, the Jordanian police officer who murdered American contractors, the apparent take down of the Russian Boeing plane has intelligence agencies pointing fingers at the Islamic State.
At least seven individual attacks took place, comprising of at least six shootings and three explosions.
Shootings were reported around the Rue de la Fontaine-au-Roi, Rue de Charonne, and Rue Bataclan.
Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon shootings
A shooting at the Petit Cambodge ("Little Cambodia") restaurant in the 10th arrondissement of Paris resulted in several deaths, which are reported to be between four to eleven.
The assailants also shot people outside a bar called Le Carillon near the Canal Saint-Martin.
According to a police official, 11 people were killed at the restaurant. The assailants reportedly "fled in one or two vehicles" after the shootings.
La Belle Equipe shooting
Shots were fired at La Belle Equipe, a restaurant in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.
Bataclan theatre siege and mass shooting
Shootings and hostage takings occurred at the Bataclan theatre in the 11th arrondissement where the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal were playing to an audience of around 1,500. 60—100 hostages were taken.
The band's members escaped without injury.
Someone who escaped the attack told a journalist that the attackers mentioned Syria and that there were five or six attackers. One witness in the Bataclan stated that a gunman yelled "This is because of all the harm done by Hollande to Muslims all over the world."
There were further attacks reported on police and first responders who arrived at the scene after initial reports of shooting inside the theatre.
One of the attackers at the Bataclan had explosives, according to a police officer at the scene.
Julien Pierce, a journalist from Europe 1, said that he saw armed men enter the Bataclan, and two or three men not wearing masks fired indiscriminately on the crowd.
The siege ended at 1 am.
The police reported that an estimated 100 people were killed at the theatre.
Four attackers were killed, three of whom died by detonating their suicide belts.
Stade de France explosion
At least 10 people were injured or killed in an explosion at a bar near the Stade de France in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis.
The President of France, François Hollande, was at the Stade de France attending an international friendly football match between France and Germany. Hollande was safely evacuated from the scene and met the French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve to coordinate a response to the emergency.
Explosions were heard on the live televised broadcast of the match.
Following the game, fans were brought onto the pitch to await evacuation as police monitored all exits from the venue.
I stand with the people of France in the wake of this horrific tragedy. We will continue to follow this tragedy.
