Arrested: Michael Brandon Hill, 20, is charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The crazed gunman who stormed a suburban Atlanta elementary school and threatened to shoot everyone has a ‘long history of mental problems’ and was ‘bound to do something stupid’ his brother said today.
Michael Hill, 20, was arrested yesterday without killing or even injuring a single person at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur after a brave and unarmed school secretary managed to talk him into surrendering.
Antoinette Tuff revealed last night that Hill told her he had no reason to live because no one loved him.
Antoinette Tuff said: ‘And I just explained to him that I loved him. I didn’t know much about him. I didn’t know his name but I did love him and it was scary because I knew at that moment he was ready to take my life along with his’
Hero: Secretary Antoinette Tuff is seen here in her office at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, where she convinced a gunman to surrender and not harm the child of her school
Holding tight: Panicked parents rushed to Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy to collected their children after hearing reports of a gunman at the school
Yes, on Fox News’ Hannity tonight, the name of a so-called “agent of the Muslim Brotherhood” was named. Brooke Goldstein, Director of The Lawfare Project and frequent guest on Fox News programs, went out of her way to expose a rotten hidden Obama secret. A secret that Fox News and their viewers already knew the answer to. And that nasty secret is… that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government and is working for the President.
Heck, this is not the first time we’re hearing this, so you shouldn’t be shocked. Even an elected official, Michele Bachmann warned us that this was happening thanks to Obama. A little over a year ago back in June 2012, Bachmann dropped this piece of nugget:
It appears that there has been deep penetration in the halls of our United States government by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood has been found to be an unindicted co-conspirator on terrorism cases and yet it appears that there are individuals who are associated with the Muslim Brotherhood who have positions, very sensitive positions, in our Department of Justice, our Department of Homeland Security, potentially even in the National Intelligence Agency. I am calling upon the Justice Department and these various departments to investigate through the Inspector General to see who these people are and what access they have to our information.
We always wondered who Bachmann was referring to. She has a way of lying and making her lies sound like truths. But Bachmann never elaborated on her statement and now we know. Brooke is naming names!
Brook Goldstein, in responding to a question about why about why the terrorists “do not fear us” under President Obama as they clearly did under Bush, Brooke answered by stating something we’re sure she has researched and is now presenting as her fact. Brooke said that “we have a policy of cuddling the Muslim Brotherhood.”
She went on;
We have Muslim Brotherhood… in the Government. And I can name it right here, I can name Arif Alikhan who is our Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Policy Development, who is a Muslim Brotherhood Agent in our Government. Who is advising our foreign policy? This is a question that all Americans deserve an answer to.
Brooke however failed to include this little bit of info on Arif Alikhan. Yes, he is working in the government and yes, he is a Muslim, but Arif has been working in governmental affairs long before Obama became President. A quick trip to FactCheck found that Arif came from Los Angeles, where he served as deputy mayor for homeland security and public safety. Before working for Democratic Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, Alikhan was a top prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice from 1997 to 2006.
And get this: Arif even worked for the Bush Administration as Senior Counsel and Executive Director of the Intellectual Property Task Force. Yes, that same George Bush who Fox loves so much.
However, don’t let the decades of government work by Arif fool you. Brooke and Fox News have a talking-point to maintain and that talking point includes inducing the fear of all Muslims into their low information audience. And what better way to do that, than telling their audience that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the government, thanks to Obama?
A 17-year-old girl has found herself at the centre of an internet storm after web users shared explicit photographs of her giving oral sex to two men at an Eminem concert in Ireland.
Girl is seen performing oral sex on guy with arms raised.
Police are investigating the disturbing incident amid concerns that the images – apparently taken in a public area of the concert site and now widely circulating on the internet – amount to child pornography because she is under 18.
And dozens of internet commenters have been accused of sexism for mocking the girl and seeking to reveal her identity – while praising her sexual partner as a ‘hero’ and a ‘legend’.
Campaigners have warned that the sharing of explicit pictures is a ‘growing problem’ which it is almost impossible to prevent due to the fast-moving nature of social networking.
The photograph of the schoolgirl performing oral sex on a grinning man wearing a green hat was taken in the grounds of Slane Castle on Saturday evening.
Girl is later seen kissing same guy. His hand under her skirt
She was also pictured kissing the same man while he sexually touched her, and giving oral sex to a different man on the same night.
American rapper Eminem was performing to a crowd of 80,000, with police making 63 arrests during the event.
Congratulations Republicans, your push to get the most uneducated and uninformed voter is working. These are your people.
According to the latest PPP poll, 29% of republicans polled felt Obama was more responsible than Bush for the poor response to Katrina and 44% were not sure. Only 28% properly identified Bush as the president who failed to adequately respond to the crisis. Thanks Obama!
The latest survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, provided exclusively to TPM, showed an eye-popping divide among Republicans in the Bayou State when it comes to accountability for the government’s post-Katrina blunders.
Twenty-eight percent said they think former President George W. Bush, who was in office at the time, was more responsible for the poor federal response while 29 percent said Obama, who was still a freshman U.S. Senator when the storm battered the Gulf Coast in 2005, was more responsible. Nearly half of Louisiana Republicans — 44 percent — said they aren’t sure who to blame.
During Hurricane Sandy, President Obama and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie joined forces and did what was right for the victims of the hurricane. They did what they were both elected to do, they did what the people wanted. And it was this coming together of the Democratic President and the Republican Governor that caused Christie to see his poll numbers rise among New Jersey Democrats and paved the way for his likely re-election in the upcoming governor’s election, and possible a 2016 run for President.
For his part, the President also benefited from the newly found political relationship as his poll numbers rose right before the November 2012 election, allowing him to defeat Mitt Romney and gave him the opportunity to serve out his second term.
Many in the Republican party blamed Christie for the President’s 2012 win.
But the new found political allies have now gone back to their respective corners as Christie came out on Tuesday and endorsed right winged nut Steve Lonegan to represent New Jersey in the United States Senate. Mr. Lonegan has made questionable comments about President Obama, ObamaCare and immigration, Planned Parenthood among others. He was also the New Jersey state director for Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brothers-aligned group. In his endorsement on Tuesday, Christie said Lonegan was just what New Jersey needed in the Senate.
Obama on the other hand endorsed New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker. In his endorsement, the President said “Cory Booker has dedicated his life to the work of building hope and opportunity in communities where too little of either existed. Whether as a college student working in East Palo Alto or as mayor of New Jersey’s largest city, Cory has time and again taken on tough challenges, fought for the middle class and those working to join it, and forged coalitions that create progress – and that’s the spirit he’ll carry with him to Washington.”
Looking at these two endorsement, it is clear to see that Christie’s endorsement was purely political. The Governor it seems, is trying to win back the hearts and minds of those Republicans in New Jersey and nationwide, who still blames him for Obama’s win. The Latino American Democratic Association of Bergen County has also picked up on Christie’s blatant political move. The group’s president Jorge Nunez, said in a statement, ““We need to call this endorsement for what it is, an endorsement of radical-right-wing extremism and anti-Latino sentiment.”
And Christie’s Democratic challenger for Governor Barbara Buono said through a spokesman, “Just like tea party extremist Steve Lonegan, Governor Christie is anti-choice, anti-Planned Parenthood, anti-marriage equality, and anti-commonsense legislation to reduce gun violence. Their unabashedly conservative views are completely out-of-touch with most New Jerseyans.”
Obama’s endorsement was expected all along. Cory Booker has been a staunch advocate for the President and his policies, so Obama’s endorsement was an easy or obvious conclusion.
So who will win? Will New Jersey see through Christie’s political moves and reward his challenger Barbara Buono? Or will New Jerseyans be blinded by Christie’s love the president today, endorse his adversary tomorrow strategy?
The followers of Dr. Phil’s Twitter account had some rather harsh words for the Talk Show host. Seems Mr. Phil, or someone with access to his Twitter account, tweeted out this question to his 1.2 million followers:
The hashtag #teensaccused indicates that Dr. Phil will be doing a future show on the topic and was trying to solicit opinions from the public. But the response the show got from their followers caused Dr. Phil to delete the tweet and issue an apology.
Here’s some of the responses:
– @DrPhil The answer is No, Never you jackass. And then you kick whoever asked you in the throat. #teensaccused
– Are you “asking for a friend”? RT @DrPhil: If a girl is drunk, is it OK to have sex with her? Reply yes or no to @drphil #teensaccused
– Dr Oz was saving lives today and Dr. Phil is trying to hook up with drunk girls where is @oprah she needs to have an emergency team meeting
Here’s part of the apology Dr. Phil issued today:
“This Tweet was intended to evoke discussion leading into a very serious show topic based upon a recent news story, hence the #teensaccused label. It was a poll question, not a statement or a joke. As he has maintained over many years, Dr. Phil believes that the position of those incapacitated in any fashion; be it drugs, alcohol, age or mental illness can not and do not have the capacity to give their consent to anything, especially sex, which could have life changing repercussions. This was a research post in preparation for a show, not a personal post and Dr. Phil deleted it the second he saw it. It was clearly ill-advised. We sincerely apologize that it suggested anything other than what was intended, data gathering. As you can imagine, Dr. Phil is very upset that this happened.”
That last tweet says it all. Dr. Oz was at the scene of a British tourist who lost her foot when a taxi cab jumped the curb and ran over her. Oz was seen in pictures helping the tourist. With Dr. Phil asking these dumb questions, “where is Oprah” indeed?
The first full day of a dream vacation turned into midtown mayhem for a British tourist Tuesday when a cabbie who had been arguing with a bicyclist lost control of the taxi and mowed her down on a sidewalk — severing her left foot.
Siân Green
Siân Green, 23, arrived in New York Monday night with one of her best friends for a trip they had anticipated with excitement on Instagram. The next day, they bought hot dogs at Sixth Ave. and 50th St. about 11:20 a.m. in the sun-drenched city. Green and her friend, Keshia Warren, were sitting on the ledge of a fountain in a crowded plaza on the avenue.
Foot circled
They were chowing down on the hot dogs when the yellow cab jumped the curb at 49th St. and plowed into Green, sending her flying and springing several good Samaritans into action. Among the heroes were a food vendor, a plumber and television’s Dr. Oz.
David Justino, a plumber who had been working in the area, stripped off his Carhartt tool belt and used it as a tourniquet. His quick thinking may have saved Green’s life.
“The real hero of the day is plumber Dave, just an average Joe, an average Dave, just walking along the street, but he saved her life,” said Dr. Mehmet Oz, whose T-shirt and jeans were spattered with blood. “It’s very smart thinking. A simple thing like a union plumber’s belt can save your life.”
Taxi Driver
Justino said he was awed by the composure of the victim, calling her “a strong girl, a brave girl.”
“Her left leg was severed off, the other was mangled,” he said. “She was conscious the whole time, the poor thing. I wished she would have passed out.”
Green’s severed, sandal-clad foot was recovered at the scene and doctors at Bellevue Hospital tried in vain to reattach it. At least two other people were also being treated at area hospitals for less serious injuries.
Former John McCain campaign aide Nicolle Wallace told Morning Joe guest host Donny Deutsch that Ted Cruz was being “intellectually dishonest” in his mission to shut down the government in order to defund Obamacare, a strategy she felt was tantamount to lying to his supporters at the cost of the GOP’s national ambitions.
“I watch Ted Cruz up there and I say, ‘Is he not getting the memo from Christie as far as what’s getting you elected going forward?’” Deutsch said. “This ‘party of no,’ this anger, ‘I’m strong, you’re a chicken, I’m strong, you’re a chicken’—who is that talking to? It’s so tone deaf. Party of no, let’s kill Obamacare—versus, you watch what [Chris] Christie’s doing: time after time, decision after decision, moderate, moderate, moderate. Nicolle, am I missing something?”
“The problem with what Cruz is doing is it’s intellectual dishonest,” Wallace said. “[Cruz] was also asked at that event, ‘Why don’t we impeach President Obama?’ And he said, ‘Because we don’t have the votes.’ The true answer, the intellectually honest answer: ‘Because he’s not committed an impeachable offense.’ Ted Cruz is doing a whole lot of fearmongering and lying to the voters. He’s presenting an untruthful case.”
DUNDEE, Mich. — A 3-year-old boy in a small Michigan town was killed over the weekend when he accidentally shot himself in the head with a gun he found on the closet floor of his home.
The shooting death will undoubtedly renew the debate about gun safety, particularly after the boy’s father took to Facebook calling for it.
The incident took place Sunday at a home in Dundee, near the Ohio border.
Police said Damon Holbrook discovered the gun, which belonged to a family friend.
