Black Insurgent Becomes Kentucky's Lieutenant Governor!

Jenean Hampton becomes Kentucky's lieutenant governor. She is the first African American to hold the position. She is a registered Republican.

Kentucky's soon to be governor Matt Bevin is no longer a perennial gadfly. It was a healthy victory for the insurgent Republican. Did you know that the controversial businessman had a running mate that also won. Her victory marks a first for the state.

Jenean Hampton becomes the lieutenant governor for the state. She is the first African American to hold this position. She was elected as a Republican.

The 58 year old mother and grandmother started from humble beginnings. She grew up in the Detroit area. Her family worked in the manufacturing boom of the automotive juggernaut Chrysler.

She joined the U.S. Air Force, where she spent seven years writing code and managing software like the radar used to find enemy planes in Operation Desert Storm, where she was deployed. She then spent 19 years in the corrugated packing industry.

She boldly says that she's not a fan of Barack Obama and vows to oppose his policies. That often cause a family feud between her and her late father.

It's apparently a mystery to her family, too. Hampton said her father, who recently died, "went to his grave mad at me."

"That I'm conservative, Republican, didn't support Obama — he just could not wrap his arms around that," she told Bailey.

Hampton says her guiding light is constitutionally limited government, and she told Bailey that when trying to climb out of inner-city Detroit, she felt government and friends and family around her were rooting for her to fail:

"A huge part of what formed my opinions was the peer pressure that I got to fail," she said. "These were kids who questioned my good grades, questioned the way I spoke, questioned my choice in music and the fact that I was reading all the time. I just remember wondering, 'Well, jeez, when do I get to just be Jenean with my own likes and dislikes?' "

As she got older, she said she despised Nixon's Republican Party but came around to the GOP when Ronald Reagan was president because he reflected her own optimism about the American Dream, according to Bailey.

Now as the lieutenant governor, Hampton will do her best to make Republicans seem less racist than they normally are.

The race in the Bluegrass state was supposed to be a victory for the Democrats.

The people of Kentucky love KNect, the state's health care exchange. Outgoing governor Steve Beshear was at best a decent governor. The Democrats didn't put much in the races for governor.

But I guess Donald Trump's impact and the state's opposition to gay marriage being a contributing factor to Bevin winning the governor's race.

Fans Of The View Call For Cannon Fire!

Calls for a cannon fire plague entertainer Raven-Symone.

One too many slips now has the former child star facing a backlash.

Raven-Symone (Pearman) started co-hosting The View in April. She was formally introduced to the program during the Fall season. Now six months in, many fans of the daytime talk show are calling for her removal.

In the wake of Officer Slam, the entertainer said the cop went out of line when did his take down of the teen. However, she slammed the teen for not listening to the cop.

She basically said that the teen should have put her damn phone up.

Officer Slam (formerly known as Ben Fields) was fired out the cannon last week.

I've heard a handful of students weren't happy about his cannon fire. The conservative agitators were promoting the counter-protest. Some students walked out of class in support of the now former South Carolina deputy for the Richland County sheriff's department.

There's a petition calling for ABC to fire the entertainer out the cannon. So far they see the entertainer as a goldmine. They consider her the Black version of Rosie O'Donnell.





The five most outrageous comments.

1) Defending Officer Slam
2) Watermelondrea
3) I'm A Celebrity And I Take Selifes
4) Defending a Spanish host after he called First Lady Michelle Obama an "ape"
5) $20 Harriett Tubman

On Change.org, there's a petition calling for a cannon fire. So far over 135,000 people signed on to the petition. I am guessing that Raven-Symone signed it too as a middle finger to those who want to throw "political correctness" around.

Che Scott-Heron, the U.K. woman who started the petition, wrote on the petition's website that Raven's statements only hurt the black community.

"African Americans and black people around the diaspora need a voice representative of their views and not a voice representative of what white people want us to say." Heron wrote. "We need strong black role models in prominent positions on television and Raven-Symoné cannot provide that. That is why I ask that we petition to remove her from 'The View.'"

As the daytime talk show enters its 19th season, ratings are down. CBS daytime's The Talk enters its 6th season within striking distance of The View. The second quarter ratings bested The View.

By the way, the third worst person to host a cable news show got a petition calling for his cannon fire. Don Lemon also faced a backlash after he got a kick out watching Officer Slam flipping the teen.

Who is a hot mess?

Cop Walk In The Zachary Hammond Case! [NSFW]

The killing of  Zachary Hammond.was justified says the law.

If it wasn't for #BlackLivesMatter, we wouldn't hear the story of a 19-year old teen being gunned down by plain clothes after they accused him of raving up the vehicle and trying to run him over.

The FBI and Justice Department are looking into the case. They are determining if use of force was justified.

Zachary Hammond, a Seneca, South Carolina teen was accompanied by an alleged prostitute. Tori Morton, 23 year old accompanied with Zach was later arrested.

Tori Morton was sobbing in mug.

Now that she's out of lockup Tori said that the cop used excessive force.

The law put two slugs in Zach. He was killed upon impact. His vehicle rolled a bit. He was unarmed.

The officer who put the slugs in him was 32-year-old police lieutenant Mark Tiller. Tiller was not indicted in the shooting. This sparked outrage among the family and #BlackLivesMatter activists.

Now his family demands answers to why their son was gunned down. Yeah, the junk food media will do the usual "well he was this before that!" They do a document drop to say well if it wasn't for his behavior, he wouldn't be shot.

The concern trolls practice in deflecting and distracting.

Why an unarmed suspect was gunned down for a minor offense?

Zach had a history of involvement with drugs, and threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend three months prior to the incident. Previous text messages revealed a prior unwillingness to stop for police or to submit to lawful authority, and he had previously run through several police checkpoints in order to evade arrest.

Mark Tiller, Seneca Police and dog handler

Tiller approached Zach's car, ordering him to show his hands. Zach did not show his hands and instead accelerated toward the officer, damaging the curb and forcing the officer to step back to avoid being hit.

Tiller then fired two rounds from his .45 caliber handgun at close range through the open driver's side window of the car as Zach tried to flee. Bullets struck Zach in the left chest and left rear shoulder.

According to a police report, Tiller feared being run over by Zach's vehicle when he backed it up and then pulled forward toward the officer. Zach was under the influence of cocaine at the time of his death.

In the video from clear up, the Tiller fired upon the vehicle the moment Zach rode off. The video is disturbing. What got me was he said that he's going to call his PBA rep.

That code for union rep.

In the video I see that Zach was trying to avoid Tiller. I see that Tiller overracted to the fact that Zach was trying to pull away.



The shooting happened at about 8:20 p.m. July 26 in the parking lot of Hardee's on Bypass 123 in Seneca during an undercover drug sting that targeted Tori 23, who was a passenger in Hammond’s car.

Tori accidentally texted a state trooper who had a very similar number to the person she was trying to sell drugs to.

The exchange goes as follows:

Tori (from Zach Hammond's Cell): hey this tori I gotta g (gram) for 60 of the good (street language for cocaine)
Trooper: Can i meet you in a little bit
Tori (from Zach's Cell): yeah whenever

The trooper called Seneca police, who sent an undercover officer to Hardee's to meet with Morton and Hammond.

This was the exchange between the officer and Morton around 8:25 p.m:

Officer: I'm in the back where you at
Toril (from Zach's Cell): I think im beside u lol

Tiller was sent to Hardee's for backup. This would lead to the deadly encounter.

The decision not to bring state charges against Tiller does not close the case. The U.S. Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into the matter and that federal investigation is still ongoing.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Zachary Hammond.

Mark Fuhrman: I Didn't See Anything Wrong With SC Cop's Handling Of Teen!

That right wing network brings out the ex-LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman. This is the guy who once called Blacks standing at a corner a bunch of "Niggers with beady eyes". He's giving his take on the brutal takedown of teen by SC deputy.

While the nation condemned the deputy for doing the act, there's only one network devoted to saying that the takedown was justified.

Mark Furhman, the disgraced Los Angeles Police Department detective gives analysis of the now viral video of a South Carolina deputy dragging a teen across the classroom floor.

Fuhrman gain notoriety for being the caught saying racial slurs about suspects. He was accused of perjuring himself during the O.J. Simpson murder trail. His perjury charge helped Simpson beat a murder rap.

Fuhrman was forced to retire. After he left the LAPD, he took to becoming a conservative AM agitator who does a podcast. His rhetoric attracts White extremists. Fuhrman is watched by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

He appears on that network that concludes that #BlackLivesMatter is a "murder group". Fuhrman who took refuge in White extremist haven of Idaho, made some uneasy comments about the situation.

“I’ll tell you why it’s not excessive,” Fuhrman said. “He verbalized, he made contact, he verbalized, he was polite. He requested her. He verbally did that.”

“The next level is he put a hand on her,” he continued. “She escalated it from there. He used soft control. He threw her on the ground, he handcuffed her. He didn’t use mace. He didn’t use a Taser. He didn’t use a stick. He didn’t kick her. He didn’t hit her. He didn’t choke her. He used a minimal amount of force necessary to effect an arrest.”

This is the network that claims that Barack Obama embraces "radicals" and supports the murder of "law enforcement".

With that coon cop David Clarke, Bo Dietl and now the racist dick Fuhrman all appearing on that annoying conservative agitator's program, it's appears that they're siding with Richland County sheriff's deputy Ben Fields brutal take down of the teen.

The sheriff is determining whether he may fire Fields out the cannon.

Would you want that done to your child or perhaps you?

By the way, did you know that Fields has a Black girlfriend?

This is what the concern trolls are bringing up. Again deflecting the reason to why the nation is outraged over the fact a man would put his arm and hands around a teen. Distracting from the fact that on camera, the man would slam the teen on the ground and drag her across the classroom floor.

UPDATE: BEN FIELDS WAS FIRED OUT THE CANNON. THE VIDEO SHOWS EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS USED IN THE TAKE DOWN. FIELDS IS BANNED FROM RICHLAND COUNTY SCHOOLS AND MIGHT FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES.

Media Matters and Raw Story got the goods on this bonehead.

So Where's The Video Of The Teen Hitting Disgraced SC Cop?

The teen struggled when the cop put his arm around her neck and chest.

Didn't take long for the conservative agitators to defend the South Carolina cop who body slammed a teen inside a classroom. Of course, they blame President Barack Obama.

The president was in Chicago discussing gun violence. Of course, this is nothing new for the president when it comes to addressing this issue. He's been practically saying this stuff since the first time he's addressed a mass shooting under his watch.

That annoying conservative agitator and many like him are concern trolling yet again.

The now viral video of a South Carolina deputy body slamming and dragging a teen in a school classroom became a rally cry to address police brutality. The deputy Ben Fields is on ice pending a misconduct charge or discipline termination.

The video seen across the world shows the officer using brutal force on the teen.

Unfortunately the #AllLivesMatter crowd believes the video doesn't really show the real reason to why the deputy used force.

The Richland County Sheriff says that there's a video showing the teen shoving the deputy.

So why wasn't this published on social media?

Sheriff Leon Lott is saying that while he believes that the actions of Fields were

disgusting, the actions of the teen sparked the takedown.

So there's a third video of the teen trying to throw a punch at the deputy!

Well there's a part where the teen did strike when Fields puts his arm around her neck almost choking her. Do you want a man to put his arm around your neck when you refuse to leave a seat?

Again, would you want your child or you be tossed around like that? 

The law would often do a document dump to take the heat off their officers. Hence for the James Comey comments. Isn't withholding evidence a part of the Ferguson Effect?

The biggest concern troll to exist in the media believes the girl deserved it.

Again, there's no war on the police. There's a rally for police reform. #BlackLivesMatter wants reform and fair treatment when engaging with the law.

The blue wall of silence is "NO SNITCHIN".

The law will lie when they justify use of force, an issuing of a citation, and unlawful searches of your vehicle and home. The YouTube effect does help address police brutality. The junk food media sponges off social media. They will get involve after the story becomes a viral sensation.

#BLACKLIVESMATTER would not exist if they would have held George Zimmerman and Darren Wilson accountable for their reckless actions.

Congress is still inept. The Republicans will not address police reform and gun control.

As of right now, the FBI and South Carolina State Police are investigating the deputy.

The Long Hot Summer.....

The South rocked by possible arson at predominately Black churches.

First things first, we start of the month of July with the report of the Klan making a trip to Columbia, South Carolina to protest the proposal to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.

Then there was a disturbance in which a man instigated a riot near the capitol grounds. The man was a supporter of the Confederate flag and he deliberately drove through to taunt the Black protesters.

That situation managed to attract the conservative Craigslist attention. After all, what could spook White folks more than a man being pummeled by a bunch of Black people.

Conservatives would find #BLACKLIVESMATTER hashtag merged with #RACIALMOBVIOLENCE

Then we have unexplained Black church burns in the South.

Macon, Memphis, Tallahassee, Warrenville, S.C. , Knoxville, and Charlotte were the scene where possible burns may have been the works of White extremists.

The FBI and state authorities are trying to connect the dots. Could this have been a hate crime?

Since that White terrorist killed nine innocent victims at Emmanuel AME Church, the calls for gun control and the removal of the Confederate flag have gotten louder.

Bree Newsome: [Never] Fear The Unknown! Fight For Change!

It's not over! - Bree Newsome 

Cue the conservative outrage, a Black woman climbed up a pole and cut down the Confederate flag around the South Carolina capitol grounds.

Bree Newsome, a resident of Charlotte. NC traveled to Columbia to make a point. She wants the world to know that that flag represents the racism that led to the killings of nine in Charleston.

She wanted the world to know that Freddie Gray's life matters. She wanted to let protesters know that she's not afraid of what the media says about her. She did it to make the world know that she's not afraid to stand up for something.

Newsome was charged today for defacing a state monument on Capitol grounds. Authorities said that she climbed the 30 foot tall pole and unhooked the flag, ignoring the orders of officers who arrived when she was halfway up the pole.

This misdemeanor carries a hefty fine of $5,000 with a trip to the iron college for up to three years. If they find her guilty, she may face both. Her and James Ian Tyson, from Charlotte were both cuffed.

There is a crowdfunding website that was set up today to raise money for her and Tyson. So far it's reached nearly $100,000 in funds. A hashtag #BreeNewsome went viral since the incident.

The Confederate battle flag which is protected by South Carolina law was raised again 45 minutes after Bree unhooked the flag.

Bree Newsome gained national recognition after climbing a pole to remove the Confederate flag.

Call for removing the flag came after a White terrorist killed nine people in Charleston's Emmanuel AME Church.

Republican governor Nikki Haley along with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) calls for the flag's removal.

President Barack Obama delivered a passionate speech yesterday telling that the world see how Americans overcome tragedies. He urged Americans to pressure Congress to pass legislation to change the narrative. Obama believes that mass murder tragedies are going to continue way pass his term.

It's up to state lawmakers to pass it.

Counter-protesters were in Columbia today to protest the removal of the Confederate flag. Some are saying that the flag isn't about hate, it's about heritage. They blame the junk food media for allowing this discussion focus on their "pride" of the South, the Confederate battle flag.

Bree Newsome and James Ian Tyson were booked in county lockup.

Legally known as Brittany Newsome,  Bree graduated from high school being active in her community. She was involved in student government and served as student body president.

Many believe her actions could inspire millions and that's why activist DeRay McKesson has called for his followers to aid her throughout her journey.

Protest is confrontation. Protest is disruption. Protest is the end of silence. It is not the solution, it creates space for the solution.

Me and S. Baldwin wish Bree well on her journey. Bree is currently in county lockup. She is innocent until proven guilty.

This is a passionate issue. This shooting has opened deep wounds.

This month alone we've dealt with Charleston, McKinney, Texas, Rachel Dolezal, The Duggars, marriage legality, Tamir Rice and Obamacare.

June has been the most active month for World News Today. The long hot summer begins. We'll be here to cover everything.

North Charleston Cop Fired Out The Cannon After Taking Selfie In Confederate Undies!

Fashion police.

If you're on the social media and post something that could embarrass you or cost you your job, don't do it. Of course, most in law enforcement are aware of their social media policies. Unfortunately, they're not immune from public shaming.

Racists Get Fired is a blog on Tumblr that is extremely effective in outing social dissidents who still have hate in their hearts. Tipsters flag it and ask for the moderators to investigate who the person's employer and have the unceremonious firing of the cannon.

This North Charleston cop got himself fired out the cannon after he posted on Facebook his selfie wearing a pair of Confederate boxers.

Wondering how many Black motorist were pulled over for a minor infraction that led to unwarranted police searches.

The police chief terminated Sgt. Shannon Dildine’s position, saying the photo questioned his ability to improve trust and instill confidence between citizens and officers.

“Your posting in this manner led to you being publicly identified as a North Charleston Police officer and associated both you and the Department with an image that symbolizes hate and oppression to a significant portion of the citizens we are sworn to serve,” Police Chief Eddie Driggers wrote, as reported by the junk food media.

This incident happened on Thursday.

This controversy appears in wake of that white terrorist killing nine in the Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston. A month ago, former officer Michael Slager was fired out the cannon and also indicted for murder. He opened fire on unarmed motorist Walter Scott after a routine pull over.

Obama's Touching Eulogy In Charleston!

Friends of faith know the road ahead was a challenge. But we persevere. 

The LGBT community was given a historical victory today. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage. Now in the United States, marriage is legal for every human being.

President Barack Obama delivered a powerful statement this morning.

And when he went to Charleston, SC for the funeral of Clementa Pickney, a state senator who was the pastor of Emmanuel AME Church, Obama gave one of the best eulogies ever.

As passionate as he was, the president remarks on all the innocent lives lost to this terrorist and the need to push for reasonable gun control. 

The deceased included congregation members: Susie Jackson, 87; Rev Daniel Simmons Sr., 74; Ethel Lance, 70; Myra Thompson, 59; Cynthia Hurd, 54; Rev Depayne Middleton-Doctor, 49; Rev Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, 45; and Tywanza Sanders, 26.

World News Today send our condolences to families of those lost in this horrible tragedy.

He went into Amazing Grace which brought the biggest standing ovation ever.

Who ever said that President Barack Obama's isn't the coolest guy in the White House?

A man of principle and a man of vision. And for the hate aimed at him, First Lady Michelle Obama an their children, they keep their cool and keep it moving.

Nikki Haley: It's Time To Put That Flag Away!

Republican governor Nikki Haley holds a press conference in Columbia. She is under pressure to have the Confederate flag removed from the state capitol grounds. Joining her in the conference includes Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC).

South Carolina Republican lawmakers Trey Gowdy, Joe Wilson, Jeff Duncan, Tom Rice and Mick Mulvaney are ignorant lawmakers. They act like it's business as usual. They would not join in solidarity with their fellow Republicans in denouncing the Confederate Flag.

Republican governor Nikki Haley, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) call for the removal of the Confederate flag around the state capitol grounds.

Haley, Scott and Graham bowed to pressure. They were harshly criticized for embracing it. Haley in a press conference with Scott, Sanford, Clyburn and Graham called for state lawmakers to take down that flag.

Graham is one of the many clowns in the race for the red nose.

“The events of the past week call on us to look at this in a different way,” Haley said, adding that now is the time “to remove the flag from the capitol grounds.”

The Confederate flag sways in the wind.

Former GOP presidential nominee and perennial loser Mitt Romney recently endorsed removing the flag. Haley endorsed Romney in the 2012 election.

Haley, the first female governor. She is an Indian-American who grew up on diversity. She is the youngest governor in the United States. Some want her to become a veep nominee.

Of course, many lawmakers in the state house are probably cold feet on this. However the pressure is mounting and South Carolinians are calling for change.

President Barack Obama informed Haley that he will be there for the eulogy of Clementa Pickney, the pastor of Mother Emmanuel AME Church. Pickney is a Democratic state lawmaker. He along with eight others were gunned down by a White terrorist.

Obama acknowledge that racism has gotten worse.

Why Would You Fly The Flag Of A Losing Side?

Black activists light up the Confederate flag. This will rile up extremists. 

The South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is a prominent Republican lawmaker. She is one of the youngest and most attractive women to hold office. A woman of great prominence is dealing with a controversy.

In the wake of a mass shooting at a historically Black church in Charleston, Haley must decide on taking measures to ensure her residents that she's got everything under control.

 Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) are the only two Black lawmakers representing South Carolina. 

For a woman of color, it should be a no brainer. She should acknowledge that a portion of her state's residents have some extremists views.

As you know many White southerners fly the Confederate flag as a homage to those who fought in the Civil War. They may think of it as heritage, I look at the flag as a disgrace to America. Why on earth would anyone fly the flag of the losing team?

In downtown Charleston, protesters deface statues dedicated to the Confederate soldiers.

The Charleston Post and Courier reports police dispatchers were tipped off to the vandalism around late this afternoon.

Another message, “This is the problem #racist,” also was spray-painted on “To the Confederate Defenders of Charleston — Fort Sumter.”

The damage was reported to police dispatchers just after 12:30 p.m. The statue was covered up by residents who wrapped a large tarp around it about 1:30 p.m.

Two signs were placed on the tarp after the graffiti was covered up. One said, “All lives matter #charlestonunited,” and the other said, “Take down racist statues.”

The incident occurred in the wake of the fatal shooting Wednesday of nine black people inside Emanuel AME Church in what police say was an attack by a white supremacist. The church held its first service since the shootings on Sunday.

The attack has led to a nationwide call for South Carolina to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse grounds. At least 1,000 people gathered Saturday in Columbia to call for the flag to be taken down. Numerous petitions also call for the flag’s removal.

The statue caused a stir downtown Sunday as several individuals began arguing about the battle flag. Zachary Gaither of Charleston helped cover the graffiti on the statue and said he did not associate the flag with racism.

South Carolina is facing heat over its embracing of the Confederacy.

“I was covering up something that was demoting our city,” he said of the graffiti, adding, “the Confederate flag is a Southern heritage of pride to me.”

Tighe Berry, who is from out of town but wouldn’t say where, argued for the graffiti to be left up.

“That was a disgusting war that was to separate this country to keep an institution of hatred, racism and violence and slavery,” he said.

Madea Benjamin of Washington, D.C., put up the sign encouraging the statue to be taken down.

“It’s important for this state to say we don’t support white supremacy, we don’t promote pro-hatred groups or symbols,” she said.

The Confederate flag is sort of like the Swastika flag. It's symbolically a historical failure.

Already the agitators are outraged at DeRay McKesson.

McKesson has been effective in his protests and they hate him like they hate Rev. Perm. He promise more protests in the wake of the shooting.

Ever since McKesson appeared on that network that may have inspired that racist shooter to kill those nine innocent lives, he's been a target of conservative ire. McKesson plans on making an appearance in Charleston.

The pot called the kettle black. Here's a concern troll on the social media who claims that President Barack Obama and Rev. Perm should stay away.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) are two elected members of Congress. One is a Black Democrat and the other is a Black Republican.

They have both express sadness over this. But however, they both have a different view of the Confederate flag being flown at the state house in Columbia.

There's an active movement to have the flag formally removed from the state house.

Allegedly activists defaced the Confederate soldiers monument.

Do you believe that the Confederate flag is sign of heritage or a symbol of racism?

Tragedy In Charleston: AME Church Mass Shooting!

South Carolina Democratic state senator Clementa Pickney is one of the victims of a horrible mass shooting.

South Carolina state senator is one of the many killed in a mass murder in Charleston.

This is a breaking update. Nine people were killed in this horrific tragedy.

The Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest AME church in the South was rocked by a mass massacre. This act of terrorism was done by a man who had no care for the lives of those who wanted the right to congregate in a church.

Charleston city police are searching for a suspect in this horrific tragedy. World News Today send our condolences to those killed in this tragedy.

The incident happened around 9pm. The city police prompted a large response. At least six ambulances were at the church.

The governor of South Carolina, Republican Nikki Haley and the White House were informed about this tonight. Haley releases a press statement on this.

Mass shooting in South Carolina church.

“Michael, Rena, Nalin and I are praying for the victims and families touched by tonight's senseless tragedy at Emanuel AME Church. While we do not yet know all of the details, we do know that we'll never understand what motivates anyone to enter one of our places of worship and take the life of another. Please join us in lifting up the victims and their families with our love and prayers.”

The suspect is a White male in his 20s. The man was clean shaven, slender build and wearing a grey sweatshirt, blue jeans and Timberland boots.

This historically black church attracts hundreds of worshippers. The church has one of the largest congregations south of Baltimore.

Clementa Pinckney is the lead pastor. He is an elected Democratic state senator from the Charleston area.

The church was doing Bible study and the alleged shooter starting firing on worshipers.

Early a young man was apprehended, but he was later released. People from the scene posted on the social media that the man apprehended isn't involved.

Tragedy in South Carolina.

The police confirmed that the shooter is at large. This will require the FBI and South Carolina's A.I.M. involvement.

Charleston Mayor Joe Riley confirmed in a statement there have been fatalities.

“We’re still gathering information so it’s not the time yet for details,” he said. “I will say that this is an unspeakable and heartbreaking tragedy in this most historic church, an evil and hateful person took the lives of citizens who had come to worship and pray together.”

Riley said city police were being assisted by sheriff’s deputies, the State Law Enforcement Division and the FBI.

A bomb threat reportedly called in to a nearby hotel prompted authorities to close Meeting Street to traffic.

Republican contenders Jeb Bush and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have issued statements on the tragedy. The White House will release a statement shortly.

And before we jump into the blame game. We first want to say that the shooter (or shooters) are responsible for this. The junk food media often wants to look into the partisan views of a criminal.

Say if the criminal is a White guy. Liberals want to assume that the guy is a die-hard conservative who relishes in guns. The shooter has hatred towards progressive views, race, gender, sexuality, religious beliefs and social beliefs.

Conservatives want to assume that the guy is a liberal. If it's a Black, Hispanic, Muslim or White guy, they will automatically blame President Barack Obama. Conservatives tell stories of what they could have done if they were armed, complain about the media jumping to conclusions, and say that the suspect is a liberal activist.

A.I.M. is active in manhunt.

We can't confirm if the suspect is a White extremist! But some are declaring this to be a hate crime.

GOP Senator: Lindsey Graham Is A "Bro With No Ho!"

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) (right) apologized for sexist remark about presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

With friends like these....Who needs enemies?

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is running for president. He is a pro war candidate. He believes that President Barack Obama's foreign policies ruined relationships with the 51st State of Israel. He believes that radical Islam is worse than racism in his own state.

He believes that if he charts the right plans, he will be the nominee. He believes that Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are extremely incompetent. He already got the endorsements of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and former Joe Lieberman.

He's in his early 60s and lives in Charleston. He serves with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). Scott is the first Black senator in a long time to be elected in the South. He was appointed by Nikki Haley, the Republican governor to serve the remaining term of Jim DeMint, who resigned to become president of the Heritage Foundation. Scott and Graham are diverse in two ways.

Scott is Black. Scott is Republican. Scott is single. But Scott is straight.

Graham is white. Graham is a Republican. Graham is single. Graham is running for president. Graham is being question for his sexuality.

Many Republicans whisper that Graham is openly gay but remains confident that his sexuality will not be used as a weapon for the election.

Graham said that his sister could be the First Lady of the United States. He said that he could have a rotating first lady if necessary. He said that all the first ladies from Michelle Obama to Nancy Reagan are glamorous. He skipped Hillary Clinton. He must have forgotten that she was a first lady.

He's still obsessed with Benghazi and the server.

Enter Mark Kirk. The Illinois senator who survived a stroke is one of the very few "bipartisan" lawmakers in Washington. He is known to tell some funny jokes.

One joke fell flat.

Kirk was caught on camera telling the junk food media about Graham's wasted effort. He believes that Graham has a chance but he felt that it's not worth it. After he's a "bro with no ho".

That comment lit the internet on fire. Kirk had to face a few days of harsh criticism. He would later apologize by press statement and personal apology.

Graham is not offended. But I guess he knows that Kirk isn't supporting his bid.

Okay, the Democrats hope to recapture the senate. They have a difficult path to cross. Republicans have control of both the House and Senate. The south is nearly void of Democrats.

It's going to be a long time before the south can finally elect a Democratic senator.

But in the meanwhile, the Democrats hope to retake Wisconsin and Illinois. Two senators know the risk. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) are the two most vulnerable in the 2016 U.S. Senate race.

So far I have Wisconsin as LEAN REPUBLICAN and Illinois as a TOSS UP.

Kirk will possibly face a Democratic nominee who may be more stronger this time around.

Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) is a double amputee Iraq war veteran. She hopes she could shake the nut out of the tree. Duckworth is a two term congresswoman who beat insurgent Joe Walsh in the 2012 election.

Stallmigo Tom Cotton (R-AR) one served one term in the U.S. House before he took an opportunity to run for U.S. Senate. Cotton, a former Iraq war veteran went on to beat Mark Pryor in 2014.

Kirk's mishaps could help Duckworth secure an easy victory.

Ex-South Carolina Cop Indicted In The Walter Scott Shooting!

Ex-South Carolina cop has a day in court.

The controversial police shooting in North Charleston had the nation talking. The ex-officer Michael Slager is facing charges on murder. The ex-officer conducted a routine pull over.

The victim Walter Scott was pulled over for a tail light violation. Scott, a former U.S. Coast Guard officer who had a string of bad luck. He had restricted driving privileges and owed child support.

He knew he was going to county lock up for being caught driving. Although a minor traffic offense, it turned into a felony for escape. But what happened after the dash camera filmed the pull over was what drove the conversation of police brutality.

Scott and his passenger Pierce Fulton were in the vehicle for a moment.

Slager ran his plates and soon Scott bolts out the vehicle. Slager goes after him. Orders Fulton to stay put. As Slager calls for assistance, he catches up to Scott.

He applies the Taser on Scott.

Walter Scott's death touched a fierce debate over police brutality. It also spawned concern trolls to point out other incidents where Black suspects kill police officers and other victims.

Scott was trying to get the Taser off him and then proceeded to run again. That's when Slager opened fire on him. Slager used his service weapon on Scott. He emptied eight rounds into Scott.

Scott dropped. It was caught on camera by a man who was walking to work. This video damaged the credibility of Slager.

This man deflated the whole argument that Slager told his superiors that Scott was reaching for his service weapon and Taser.

Now Slager is now indicted by a grand jury. He is not going to face the gas house. But he is going to be up for LIFE in the iron college if found guilty in the murder.

Cue the concern troll....

When a bad cop is being mentioned in the junk food media, expect that annoying conservative agitator and the conservative Craigslist to find some story about a Black suspect killing a cop, a White or Black victim.

Expect talk about what goes on in my community, their communities, or the rise in gun crime during the summer.

They have been on a fixation of gun crime in Baltimore, Chicago, and New York.

The mayors are Democrats and the victims are mostly Black.

So in their minds, liberal policies lead to gun violence.

They will try to bait you into ridiculous debates over gun politics. In one breath they will say gun control for Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims. In the next breath, they will say gun rights for Whites.

Of course, insert Barack Obama every time the Black community demands better policing.

Concern trolls believe that the president is anti-cop despite the thousands of death threats, racial and inhumane insults towards him and his family.

So let's get this straight. Not all cops are bad. Not all cops are good.

Gun control and gun rights cut both ways. You can't scream you want gun rights when you are talking about gun control for one group and not everyone else.

White people commit gun crimes, rape, murder, drug charges, shoplifting and traffic violations too.

Not everyone is an illegal immigrant. Just because you don't speak American English doesn't mean your an illegal or even a criminal. The United States doesn't have an official language. English is the most frequently spoken language by 89% of the country.

Black men are 59% more likely to be pulled over by the law than White men or Asian men.

Conservatives view Blacks people as animals. That's why the term racist right is mentioned. You obviously are the type of people who believe Black teens at a pool party should be locked up. You label them animals and thugs.

Hence, "THUG" is the new NIGGER.

When cameras rolled on the Blacks being shot, detained or slammed on the ground by the law, you immediately word vomit, they had it coming.

Concern trolls say Black people don't deserve the constitutional rights whenever they are detained by the law. They automatically assume guilty until proven innocent every time an unarmed Black suspect is killed.

Sad reality. A sad reality that cost Walter Scott his life.

The Boys Of Summer!

Haters are gonna hate. The jobs are coming and the ney sayers are complaining about it!

The U.S. Department of Labor released its jobs report for May. Another good day for the president, a lot of belly aching for the conservatives. The May jobs were around 280,000 giving the jobs rate a rise to 5.5%. This rise was due to an uptick in those who gave up on searching for jobs and those underemployed.

Nevertheless, another healthy jobs report means the president created more jobs than his predecessor.

But will the partisan agitators make noise about it?

Of course.

They can't tolerate good news in the country. They believe everything that President Barack Obama's done has ruined the country. The gas below $3.00 a gallon in most states, the unemployment numbers are below 6%, the stock market has improved, the world looks to the United States as a developing partner, and many are spending $$$$ on luxuries.

This ends a slump of slow job growth that seemed to hoover.

The AP added that last month's strong job growth suggests that employers remained confident enough to keep hiring even after the economy shrank during the first three months of the year. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in March and April by a combined net 32,000.

Construction and health care companies the drove the May job growth. On the negative side, persistently cheaper oil led energy companies to shed workers for a fifth straight month.

Still, average hourly wages rose only 2.3 percent from a year earlier. Tepid pay gains has been a persistent problem for the economy.

Still bitching and whining.

Over the past three months, the economy has added an average of 207,000 jobs, a decent gain though lower than last year's average of 263,667.

Consumers, the main driver of the U.S. economy, remain fairly cautious. Factory orders have dropped. But Friday's solid jobs report could help confirm the economy's vitality.

Auto and home sales are accelerating despite otherwise slow-spending consumers. More big employers, such as Wal-Mart, have unveiled pay hikes.

Those factors could power faster growth, fuel job gains and boost wages. If they do, a broader economic recovery than the one that's existed in the six years since the Great Recession officially ended could emerge.

Over the past 12 months, around 3 million jobs have been added. Those additional paychecks helped increase spending on housing and autos. Sales of newly built homes have surged 23.7 percent through the first four months of 2015 compared with a year ago, government data show. Rising demand for new homes could lead construction firms to ramp up hiring.

Americans bought 1.64 million cars and trucks in May, the most since July 2005. If that trend were to endure, it would benefit a manufacturing sector that's added a scant 4,000 jobs since January.

Employers seem to be envisioning a healthier economy, given that the weekly number of people applying for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs — has remained under a historically low 300,000 for more than four months. By holding on to nearly all their workers, businesses are ensuring that they will have the capacity to respond to greater customer demand.

But the economy faces other challenges. The dollar has appreciated about 19 percent in the past year against other major currencies. That trend has made U.S. goods costlier overseas, thereby squeezing exports and the U.S.-based branches of foreign companies.

Nor has cheaper gasoline delivered much help. Instead of sparking the wave of consumer spending that many economists had expected, a nearly 45 percent drop in oil prices since July has damaged a U.S. economy increasingly reliant on energy drilling. The energy industry has shed workers and cut orders for pipelines and equipment.

The setbacks have been substantial enough that the International Monetary Fund on Thursday said it thinks the Federal Reserve should hold off on raising short-term interest rates until 2016. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, saying a rate increase could disrupt the economy, urged the Fed to await signs of wage growth.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said she expects to raise rates this year if the economy continues to improve, thereby ending nearly seven years of record-low rates.

Falling unemployment usually leads to fewer people seeking work, forcing employers to boost wages. But plenty of people are still searching for jobs. The aftermath of the recession has left 8.5 million people unemployed and seeking work, about 1.3 million more than were jobless before the downturn began in late 2007.

Companies often increase pay when their workers become more productive. Yet productivity fell at a 3.1 percent annual rate in the first quarter — a sharper drop than the decline estimated a month ago, the government said Thursday.

The Planters Nut Is Losing Friends Already!

While I do agree that the Patriot Act is an overreach by the federal government, I think that presidential candidate and Stallmigo Rand Paul (R-KY) is throwing his hypocrisy into this.

The very same Paul rather meddle between a woman's legs, a Black man's firearms, a poor family's safety net and a family's Obamacare subsidies. Paul wants the big old bad gubmint stop looking into your cell phone.

After all his stupid son probably was incriminating himself with pictures of him smoking a bong while playing with snow lines.

Paul is already not making friends in the Republican race for the red nose. Paul put on his makeup and juggling his balls hoping he can pick off young minds with legal weed and low incarceration.

On a rare Sunday night, the U.S. Senate is in session. His fellow senator, Majority Leader Mitch The Turtle (R-KY) called for a vote on the  "Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection and Online Monitoring Act." For the smart people this is called the USA Freedom Act.

This bill is sponsored by Wisconsin Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), the creator of the Patriot Act.

He also sponsored this bill a few years back and it didn't get traction. In October 2013, he introduced the USA Freedom Act in the House, a bill designed to curtail the powers of the NSA and end the NSA's dragnet phone data collection program. The bill is supported by civil liberties advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union.

Even he's skeptical of his own law. Did he even read this shit?

NOPE.

The USA Freedom Act was not passed by the U.S. Senate on May 22, 2015. By a vote of 57-42, the Senate did not pass the bill that would have required 60 votes to move forward, which means that the NSA must start winding down its domestic mass surveillance program this week. The Senate also rejected, by 54-45, also short of the necessary 60 votes, a two-month extension for the key provision in the Patriot Act that has been used to justify NSA spying, which is set to expire on June 1, 2015.

I don't want to jeopardize the lives of Americans because of a handful of lawmakers standing on principles that are wrong.

However, on May 31, 2015, the Senate voted 77-17 to limit debate on the act. Senate rules will allow it to be passed after the mass surveillance programs have expired.

The Republican majority promised transparency. They promised jobs. They promised to deny President Barack Obama a victory. So far, they are destroying themselves to defeat Obama.

They are wasting time trying to pass symbolic votes on restricting abortions, gutting the safety net, passing that stupid Keystone XL pipeline, restricting the president's executive powers on education, immigration, and raising the minimum wage. They are not working on passing reasonable gun control, refusing to work on peace deals with Cuba and Iran. They are pushing for troops in the battle against the Islamic State and Boko Haram. They want to waste time on Benghazi hearings, IRS emails, Hillary Clinton's missing emails, and dragging Attorney General Loretta Lynch into committee hearings about Fast & Furious.

With Paul's temper tantrum and some of his fellow Republicans and even Democratic allies calling upon the end of bulk collection done by the NSA, it seems like the bill is possibly on its way to defeat.

Here's the filibuster. Paul runs 11 hours of whine.

Again, this lawmaker has no legislative accomplishments and they act like he's a god.
