His name is ‘Aaron’ and he made his appearance when Maggie and Sasha were having some quiet time after an extremely hectic night. He slowly approached the two women describing himself as a “friend.”
According to the comic books (spoiler alert), Aaron actually is friendly. He’s a recruiter for the Alexandria Safe-Zone trying to bring in Rick and his group. In the comic books, Aaron also has a boyfriend named Eric.
The outgoing Attorney General said on Tuesday that the Justice Department’s findings in the killing of Ferguson’s Mike Brown by officer Darren Wilson on August 9th 2014, will be announced before he leaves office.
Holder said in response to a question that the reviews were underway and that he expected to “make those calls before I leave office.”
It’s not clear when that will be but his chosen successor, Loretta Lynch, will likely be confirmed within weeks.
Apparently, there are Islamists embedded in the White House because the White House’s statement after the murder of 21 Egyptians by ISIS, did not specify that these Egyptians were in fact, Christians. Thus, according to Fox News Pundit and contributor, Thomas McInerney, there must be Islamists in the White House.
McInerney made his comments on the Worldnet Daily Propaganda Radio Machine.
I know, I know. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but leave it up to Glenn Beck to draw the conclusion that because 22 million people are watching the zombie show on AMC every week, that must mean that these people are subconsciously preparing for the third world war!
I know, I know, it makes no sense. But what do you expect? We are talking about Republicans here.
“I think that we all know that the world is about to come undone,” Beck theorized. “We all know, there is something in us that tells us the world is out of control but I don’t want to watch that … and so why are we watching ‘The Walking Dead’? We’re watching ‘The Walking Dead’ because we know the zombies aren’t real. And so it allows us to connect with what we’re really feeling but allows us to be in a safe zone because we know zombies aren’t real. Zombies are ISIS. Zombies is our economic peril. The rest of the show is what we say is coming”
Not that anyone really cares what Charles Barkley has to say about politics, but someone did ask and Barkley of course, offered his opinion.
“I am paying close attention to the political situation,” Barkley said, when Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch asked him in a new interview for his thoughts about the 2016 presidential election . “I have always voted Democratic. But I like some of the Republicans this time around. I like Chris Christie. I like Jeb Bush. I like those guys.”
Asked about Hillary Clinton, Barkley laughed and said, “Well, I just told you I was thinking about voting Republican.”
“But I was very disappointed in Chris Christie the other day on the measles thing,” he said, referring to the New Jersey governor’s comments about vaccinations. “It is a shame that these guys are afraid of just answering the question and trying to make everyone agree with you.”
Barkley said he did vaccinate his daughter but did not appreciate how Christie started to change his position once he received “blowback” from the media. “I’m like, dude, your opinion is just your fucking opinion,” he said. “I don’t understand why you answer a question and think everyone is going to agree with you. You can’t live your life like that.”
It took them a few days to figure this out. After showing a picture of President Obama in a story about an alleged rape, Fox finally decided to issue a correction and an “apology” to their story.
At 10:31 p.m. Sunday, two days after the original “mistake” was made, Fox 5 anchor Misha DiBono read this statement:
“And we have an apology now. Friday night at 10 o’clock, we inadvertently used a photo of President Obama while reporting on a story about charges being dropped in a local case. We regret the error.”
It’s a powerful weapon that makes some people do strange things. No, I’m not talking about the gun, I’m talking about sex. And in South Carolina, being denied sex made this woman very, very angry. Angry enough to grab her gun!
Ryan Rucker, 33, was sleeping early yesterday when Michelle Smart, by her own admission, “attempted to make some sexual advances toward” him, according to a police report detailing the 2 AM incident.
Rucker told cops that he pushed the 30-year-old Smart off of him, which prompted an argument during which Smart “told him she would shoot him because she has the gun.” Smart told officers that after Rucker “rejected her and pushed her off of him,” he punched and kicked her multiple times.
Cops noted that Smart “continually was changing her story throughout the investigation,” adding that, “For these reasons, Ms. Smart’s account became less believable.”
Smart, judged the “primary aggressor” by cops, was arrested for domestic violence since Rucker “feared for his safety when Ms. Smart pulled the gun out and threatened to use it.” Cops seized a Ruger handgun and six bullets, which were placed into evidence.
Seen in the above mug shot, Smart spent about eight hours in custody before bonding out of jail Sunday afternoon on the misdemeanor charge
And rightly so. Republican House Speaker John Boehner went on Fox News over the weekend and screamed down Fox host, Chris Wallace, telling him that the blame for any Department of Homeland Security shutdown would be placed on Senate Democrats. Boehner was quick to point out that the House of Representatives already passed a bill to keep DHS going past the February 28th deadline, but he failed to admit that the bill contained language specifically geared to shutting down President Obama’s immigration order.
Senate Democrats have said that they would not entertain any DHS funding bill that degrades the President’s immigration order, so we stand at a standstill with the February 28th deadline quickly approaching.
But who should be blamed if the deadline passes and Homeland Security funding stops?
A recent poll conducted by CNN puts that blame in the lap of Congressional Republicans.
Republicans in Congress would shoulder the blame for a shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security if they are unable to enact a new spending bill to keep the agency running, according to a new CNN/ORC poll. The survey finds 53% of Americans would blame the Republicans in Congress if the department must shut down, while 30% would blame President Barack Obama. Another 13% say both deserve the blame.
If a spending bill is not passed by Feb. 28, the agency’s funding will run out.
A majority says a shutdown at DHS, even if it’s just for a few days, would be a crisis or a major problem. Republicans are less likely to see a shutdown as a big problem, 46% say so compared with 66% among Democrats. Among all adults, slightly fewer see a DHS shutdown as a problem or crisis than said so in November when asked about a possible shutdown of the whole government, 55% now vs. 59% in that poll.
As in November, this shutdown threat has more to do with immigration policy than with budgetary concerns.
House Republicans have been sparring with their Senate counterparts over whether a bill to continue the agency’s funding should also reverse Obama’s executive actions on immigration, which shielded millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation. The House has already passed a bill to fund DHS which includes a provision to undo Obama’s actions, but Senate Democrats have blocked attempts to bring the bill to a vote and some Senate Republicans have spoken out against dealing with both issues in one bill.
You got to face it. No one would be talking about Republican joker Mike Huckabee if it weren’t for his constant whippings on Beyoncé. The 2016 potential Republican presidential candidate even dedicated a part of his new book to the singer, insinuating that she is a prostitute and her husband, Jay Z, her pimp!
Well now, it seems that running on the Beyoncé platform is doing good for Huckabee. In a new NBC News-Marist poll, Huckabee is leading all potential Republicans in Iowa with 17 percentage points. Second is George Bush’s brother, Jeb Bush, with 16 and union bashing Scott Walker comes in third with 15.
Rick Perry, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham scrapes the bottom of the barrel with 4,2 and 1 percentage points respectively.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton leads all potential candidates with 68 percentage points. Vice President Joe Biden is a far second with 12 followed by Bernie Sanders with 7.
Beloved New York Knicks basketball star, Anthony Mason, suffered a massive heart attack on February 14th and was rushed to a New York hospital where he underwent four surgeries that same day. On hearing the news, players and fans sent their well wishes to the superstar and his family.
Sports broadcaster Tina Cervasio shared a typed statement from Mason’s son, who updated us on the state of his father’s health:
A federal judge in South Texas on Monday temporarily blocked President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration, giving a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit that aims to permanently stop the orders, the Associated Press reports.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen’s decision comes after a hearing in Brownsville in January and puts on hold Obama’s orders that could spare as many as five million people who are in the U.S. illegally from deportation.
Hanen wrote in a memorandum accompanying his order that the lawsuit should go forward and that without a preliminary injunction the states will “suffer irreparable harm in this case.”
“The genie would be impossible to put back into the bottle,” he wrote, adding that he agreed with the plaintiffs’ argument that legalizing the presence of millions of people is a “virtually irreversible” action.
The White House in a statement early Tuesday defended the executive orders issued in November as within the president’s legal authority, saying that the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress have said federal officials can set priorities in enforcing immigration laws.
“The district court’s decision wrongly prevents these lawful, commonsense policies from taking effect and the Department of Justice has indicated that it will appeal that decision,” the statement said. An appeal would be heard by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
