The Game will throw his hat in the ring to fight George Zimmerman in the upcoming celebrity boxing match, and he tells TMZ, “I will beat the f**k out of him.”
Zimmerman has agreed to the March 1 celebrity boxing match … the promoter hasn’t selected his opponent, but is taking offers at fightgeorge@hotmail.com.
Game says, “I would not be boxing for me. I’d be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family.”
The rapper, who has a tattoo of Trayvon on his leg, says, “I would box him to knock him out,” adding, “I would definitely take pleasure in it. It’s legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon.”
Game would definitely have the edge … he’s 6’5″, and 240 lbs of muscle.
Republicans are trying again to portray that they are a party of responsibility, that they are not just concerned with blocking every single policy the President puts forth.
They are actually on a retreat right now, trying to rebrand themselves and trying to come up with a cohesive message for the American people.
Why you might ask? Because this is election year, and they are trying once again to fool the people into voting for their sorry candidates in the midterns.
Here’s an example of their rebranding efforts, already in full effect.
Over 40 times Republicans have tried and failed to repeal Obamacare, and they have been criticized by the nation for trying to repeal the healthcare law with nothing to replace it with. So the joke now is, they do have a replacement, and they’re hoping you wouldn’t ask any questions about it.
Well Chuck Todd at MSNBC asked some questions and found out that this mysterious replacement amounted to nothing more than a tall Republican tale. Todd invited Republican Orrin Hatch and part of their conversation went like this:
CHUCK TODD: One of the assumed benefits in your new plan would allow for cheaper policies for young folks. At the same time, you would allow insurers to sell insurance at varying rates. So if you allow for a cheaper policy for younger, healthier people, right, this has been among the issues, the translation is you’re going to see — how do you prevent a spike for older Americans who, maybe just by default of genetics, are starting with a lot of health care problems, and because of that, end up getting charged more? How do you prevent that spike in rates for them?
ORRIN HATCH: Well, we have a formula in there that it can’t go beyond a certain position. But the fact of the matter is, somebody has to pay for these things. And the Obamacare bill doesn’t pay for things, they pushed them into — into Medicaid, which is non-functioning and not doing what it should do right now.
In other words, we have nothing. You totally on your own. If you can’t afford it, then just die already.

There are many people who would relish the opportunity to take a swing at unconvicted killer George Zimmerman, and at least one lucky person will get that chance.
Zimmerman, who was found not guilty on murder charges after he followed and eventually gunned down 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012, will participate in a “celebrity” boxing match that will be aired online and on Pay-Per-View on March 1, 2014.
“It was my idea,” Zimmerman, 30, said in an interview with Radar Online.
“Prior to the incident I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss and a mutual friend put me in contact with Damon and provided me with an opportunity and motivation to get back in shape and continue with my weight loss goals and also be able to help a charity out.”
The “incident,” of course, is his killing of an unarmed teenager.
“Boxing isn’t new to me. It’s something I had picked up well before the incident and it’s something that I liked, I enjoyed, and I kept up with it and I was able to lose a tremendous amount of weight and get a healthy lifestyle,” he told Radar.
“So it’s not a new hobby, it’s something I have been doing and wanting to pursue to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
…
“I don’t have a preference [on opponent] as long as it goes to charity, doesn’t matter to me. Hopefully someone that won’t hurt me too bad!” Zimmerman said, but after thinking about it a minute told Radar, “If I had my top three I’d say Papa Smurf, the Easter Bunny and maybe the Michelin Man.”
Zimmerman, who has taken full advantage of his notoriety, shared the news on his Twitter page.
Only in America can you become famous for killing a Black child in cold blood.

MSNBC is at it again. Bowing to the blowback of the right-wing lunatics and again, apparently firing another employee. This time, the network fired someone over a tweet. Yes a tweet.
In 2013, Cheerios made a commercial using an interracial family. The blowback from the racists was unbelievable. The ad however, was a total success prompting Cheerios to release another. Referencing the second ad, someone on Wednesday used the official MSNBC Twitter handle and tweeted this;
“Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family.”
The Republican party and the right winged media went even more nuts. Reince Priebus, RNC Chairman immediately wrote a letter to MSNBC and called for a boycott of the station. That’s all that was needed, as MSNBC again, bowed to the manufactured Republican pushback on a non-issue.
And earlier today Phil Griffin, head of MSNBC issued the following statement;
The tweet last night was outrageous and unacceptable. we immediately acknowledged that it was offensive and wrong, apologized and deleted it. We have dismissed the person responsible for the tweet.
I personally apologized to Mr. Priebus and to everyone offended. At MSNBC, we believe in passionate, strong debate about the issues and we invite voices from all sides to participate, that will never change.
Chalk yet another one up for the made up hysteria of the Republican right wing.
If you only listen to these Republicans, you’d thing that the term “Executive Orders” originated in the Obama administration. And you’d think that Republicans have gone above and beyond, doing all they can to work with the president in making sure the country moves forward. You’d be perplexed, trying to figure out what the President’s State of The Union Address was all about and you’d be confused as to why Obama talked about doing it alone if Congress failed to act.
If the person described above fits your way of thinking, then I’d say you’re probably an avid Fox News viewer. But as usual, you’re not getting the truth watching Fox.
The facts of the matter is, Congressional Republicans have done everything possible to block this president, to render his presidency a failure, to make sure Americans feel the pain, to make sure they suffer for electing the black dude in the White House. And after years of reaching out to Republicans, waiting for them to come to their senses, President Obama realized that time would never come and declared that he is now prepared to use the powers authorized by the Constitution, and do what he can for the American people.
And for his decision, Michele Bachmann is flipping out. How dare he follow the Constitution!?!?
Responding to the President’s State of the Union Address, Bachmann threw down the gauntlet!
“He’s the president of the United States. He’s not a king. He may think he’s a king, he may declare himself king, but that’s not what he is under our Constitution.”
“If he wants to move forward with this unilateral activity, he better be prepared for the lawsuit that the United States Congress will bring to him.”
Yea, you do that Michele. We already know that you have no clue about the Constitution, forget he Constitution. We all know you have serious issues with thinking. So do you Michele, do you…
Pastor Steven Andrew on Tuesday night delivered “God’s State of the Union” address in response to President Barack Obama’s speech to the nation.
The conservative pastor of USA Christian Ministries called on Americans to serve the God of the Bible rather than false gods if they wished to receive his blessings and see their nation’s prosperity restored.
“We want to seek God with all of our heart and soul,” Andrew said. “We want to obey the Holy Bible with all of our heart and soul, and we want Jesus as our king. This is how you restore God’s blessings. People like Barack Obama have a totally different vision of America. His vision is to follow Satan.”
It is clear Obama is following Satan, according to the pastor, because he is openly encouraging “homosexual sin” and violating God’s unalienable rights “by forcing people to have death panels.”
He described Obama as a covetous liar who was not a part of the “Kingdom of God.”
Proclaiming Jesus as the Lord of the United States could also solve the nation’s financial troubles, Andrew said.
“Americans right now are suffering. There is great economic problems in the United States of America. We have the biggest debt in the world. How is this going to go away? This debt is going to go away by humbling ourselves before the Lord and not by serving Mammon but by putting Jesus Christ first.”
Continuing his monopoly on twentysomething nostalgia, Jimmy Fallon brought in three of the most beloved early ’90s father figures on Wednesday night to help sing away his Tonight Show transition blues.
Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier reprised their Full House roles — as Danny Tanner, Jesse Katsopolis, and Joey Gladstone, respectively — and the whole thing was so adorable, you might even forget that they were comforting a 39-year-old comedian dressed in children’s pajamas and sitting on a bed framed by four gigantic pencils (a la Michelle Tanner).
The guys also reenacted some of their signature Full House tag lines:
First meeting between the president and Cory Remsburg
PHOENIX — Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg and his father, Craig, knew they would be watching the State of the Union address in the box reserved for guests of the first lady. But they didn’t know exactly where their seats would be.
Someone at the top of the stairs directed them to the first row. Craig Remsburg guided his son — who walks with a cane and has limited use of his left arm after nearly being blown apart in Afghanistan — down the five steps.
Craig Remsburg scanned the names taped to each chair. There was one that said Dr. Jill Biden. Another said Michelle Obama.
The chair next to that one had his son’s name. “Oh,” he thought. “OK, here we are.”
In that seat, in the minutes that followed, Cory Remsburg would be seen on TV by an estimated 33.3 million viewers. He would turn into a representative for all wounded soldiers. And he would be lauded by the president as a role model, a man whose own struggles to walk and talk again mirrored the struggles of the nation.
It was something the 30-year-old didn’t expect when he left his suburban Phoenix home and boarded a flight Monday to Washington, D.C.
Remsburg had received the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. He had been feted at Gilbert Town Hall, and a local group of motorcycle riders welcomed him home when he was released from rehabilitation centers.
But while sitting in the front row of the gallery at the U.S. Capitol, the recipient of a nearly two-minute standing ovation Tuesday night, Remsburg would become part of the national conversation.

“I don’t think I deserve that much recognition,” Remsburg said Wednesday, during an interview after landing at Sky Harbor International Airport. “I was just doing my job.”
Less than a week after getting arrested in Miami, the 19-year-old is back in his native Canada following a jaunt down to Panama—and he has run smack back into legal trouble.
Bieber is going to be charged with assault in connection with an incident reportedly involving his entourage, who were being investigated for allegedly roughing up a limo driver after the group attended a Toronto Maple Leafs game on Dec. 29, according to CBC News.
Legal reps for Bieber have not been available for comment, but we were told that Bieber was expected at the police station to turn himself in at around 6 p.m. local time.
Per the CBC, he will be officially charged at the 52 Division station and given a notice to appear at a later date.
So we all know about the website set up by the White House encouraging Americans to voice their opinion on matters important to them. Any petition that garners 100,000 signers would, according to the White House, get an official response.
The petition to deport Justin Bieber has already passed the 100,000 signatures requirement. So if you’re a fan of the misguided entertainer or if you call yourself a “belieber,” then maybe it’s time to start worrying.
Didn’t know the president’s State of the Union address had that much power. If you listen to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, you’ll be on the next flight to Mars if you’re a man, Venus if you’re a woman.
After praising President Barack Obama on immigration, South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham blasted the foreign policy portion of the State of the Union speech.
“The world is literally about to blow up,” Graham said, saying he completely disagrees with Obama on Iran policy.
Obama pledged to veto any additional sanctions legislation while negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program are ongoing.
“The world as I know was not remotely described by the president. Syria is a contagion,” Graham said.
