Texas Just Executed its 531st Inmate

There must be a trophy or something…

Texas on Wednesday executed a 36-year-old man convicted of killing his daughter and two stepdaughters in a mobile home blaze in 2000.

Raphael Holiday was put to death by lethal injection at the state’s death chamber in Huntsville and pronounced dead at 8:30 p.m., a prisons official said.

He became the 531st inmate executed by Texas since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, the most of any state.

“Yes, I would like to thank all of my supporters and loved ones,” he was quoted by prison officials as saying in his last statement.

“I love you, Love y’all, always going to be with y’all. Thank you Warden,” he said.

Holiday was convicted of killing Tierra Lynch, 7; Jasmine DuPaul, 5; and Justice Holiday, 1, in a rural community about 100 miles (160 km) northwest of Houston.

He had been living with Tami Wilkerson, his common law wife at the time, until she secured a restraining order against him for sexually assaulting Tierra, according to the Texas attorney general’s office.

About six months later, Holiday, who had attempted to reconcile with Wilkerson, returned to the house and forced the girls’ grandmother at gunpoint to douse the home with gasoline, which ignited, it said. The grandmother survived.

Cruz Threatens Obama – “Come Back and Insult Me To My Face”

This is no longer in the realms of “freedom of speech.” This irresponsible statement by Texas senator Ted Cruz is a direct threat and it should be taken as one! What exactly is he planning to do to the president if Mr. Obama was in his presence?

Now I understand that a direct threat to the President of the United States will give Cruz much favor with the so-called “patriots” in the Republican party, but it sounds like the Secret Service need to pay Cruz a visit!

Cruz was responding to Obama’s recent criticism of Republicans suggesting there be a religious test for Syrian refugees seeking entrance to the country, a plan he called “shameful” and “not American” while in Turkey for the Group of 20 summit.

“If you want to insult me, you can do it overseas, you can do it in Turkey, you can do it in foreign countries. But I would encourage you, Mr. President, come back and insult me to my face,” Cruz said, staring directly into the camera.

Cruz got even more schoolyard, challenging the President to a debate any place, any time.

“Let’s have a debate on Syrian refugees, right now. We can do it anywhere you want. I would prefer it in the United States and not overseas,” the Republican presidential candidate said. “We’ll do it on any station.”

Man Threatens to Kill 1 Muslim a Week in Canada

Following the ISIS claimed attacks in Paris where at least 129 innocent people were killed and hundreds more injured, a man in Canada wearing a Joker mask posted a video on YouTube promising to kill one Muslim or Arab a week.

The video was posted Tuesday on YouTube, but has since been taken down. In it a man speaking in a Quebecois-sounding accent said that starting next week he would kill an Arab or a Muslim each week all across the province.

He was brandishing what appeared to be a handgun and said he had like-minded people on board who would help him to carry out the threat, reported the National Post.

Quebec provincial police, Sûreté du Québec, wouldn’t confirm or deny investigating the video.

Montreal’s police (SPVM) said they were aware of the video and were trying to establish whether the person falls under their jurisdiction.

“If you make threats on social networks or on the web, there are very concrete consequences in the real world, the criminal code allows us to press charges against people who do things like this,” SPVM spokesperson Laurent Gingras told Vice News.

Latest Poll – Jeb Bush Hits 3 Percent Support for 2016

And he’s still in it! When oh when will he bow out and save whatever is left of the Bush name? I don’t know. Maybe when he falls into the Bobby Jindal zero zone!

Jeb Bush has fallen to eighth place in the race for the 2016 GOP nomination, according to a new national poll released Tuesday.

Bush, once considered a front-runner in the race, was the first choice for President of only 3% of likely Republican voters surveyed in the University of Massachusetts survey, marking the former Florida governor’s worst poll levels since he announced his candidacy earlier this year.

Coming in first in the poll, conducted among 1,224 people from Nov. 5 to Nov. 13, was Donald Trump, who got the support of 31%.

Ben Carson and Ted Cruz came in second and third, with 22% and 13%, respectively.

Bobby Jindal thought it was his time. He thought he would be the next president of the greatest nation on the face of the earth. Bobby Jindal dreamed of that title – President Jindal. But someone should have told him that you need to run for president in order get a chance a chance at winning!

After his feeble attempt to run, Jindal, who couldn’t get more than an average of ZERO in all the polls, called it quits!

“I’ve come to the realization that this is not my time,” Jindal said on Fox News.

He also said that he wasn’t prepared to endorsed anyone, but will support the eventual GOP candidate.

Donald Trump – More Guns Would Have Been the Answer in Paris – Video

The ironic thing is, the terrorists use of guns caused the most carnage in Paris last weekend, but according to Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, more guns on the scene would have been the answer. It’s the usual Republican answer – More guns is the answer to everything.

Speaking to CNN on Saturday, Trump said;

“When you look at Paris — you know the toughest gun laws in the world, Paris — nobody had guns but the bad guys. Nobody had guns. Nobody. They were just shooting them one by one and then they (security forces) broke in and had a big shootout and ultimately killed the terrorists.

“You can say what you want, but if they had guns, if our people had guns, if they were allowed to carry, it would’ve been a much, much different situation.”

Then on Monday at a rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, Trump doubled down on the favorite NRA talking point;

“You have the horrible attack. And by the way, Paris is one of the places in the world that’s toughest on guns… If 20 of those people — you don’t need more, but could’ve been more, could’ve been all of them. But if 20 of those people that were shot, viciously — and if you heard the stories, ‘Come on over, boom, come on over, boom, come here, boom,” one after another after another, hundreds of people, plenty are dying and will be dead. Now, if you had 25 people in there that had guns, okay? It would have been a totally different story, folks. There would have been the shootout at the O.K. Corral.”

Jeb Bush Flips – Now He’s Concerned about ALL Syrian Refugees – Video

What a difference a couple of days make… and a smack down from the President of the United States helped.

Just Sunday in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Jeb Bush fell in line with the other Republican presidential candidates demanding Syrian refugees remain in Syria where they are being slaughtered by ISIS and the Syrian regime. In that CNN interview however, Jeb didn’t close his heart from all Syrian refugees, he was willing to allow only the Christian refugees access to the United States.

“There are a lot of Christians in Syria that have no place now,” Jeb said, while talking about whether we should allow refugees here in the United States. “They’ll [Christians] be either executed or imprisoned, either by Assad or by ISIS. We should focus our efforts as it relates to the refugees for the Christians that are being slaughtered.”

In other words, a Religious test to decide who we save and who gets slaughtered.

President Obama had something to say about that!

“That’s shameful,”the President said. “That’s not American. That’s not who we are…We don’t have religious tests to our compassion. We do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism.”

Those words from the president apparently had some effect on Jeb and he admitted in the interview that he thought the president was talking directly to him. So with that, the interviewers asked Jeb if he felt refugees – not just Christian refugees, but Muslim refugees as well – should be allowed in the United States?

Jeb offered his new position – “the answer to this is not to ban people from coming” but “to lead, to resolve the problem in Syria.” He then went on to say, “I don’t think we should eliminate our support for refugees,” Bush added. “It’s been a noble tradition in our country for many years.”

Nice flip Bush, nice flip! Have you met Mitt Romney?

Charlie Sheen – “I am in fact HIV-positive”

Charlie Sheen went on The Today Show and made the confession, saying “I am in fact HIV-positive” and that he knew about his condition four years ago.

In the interview with Matt Lauer, Sheen said;

“I’m here to admit that I am in fact HIV-positive, And I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about the (alleged) threatening the health of so many others, which couldn’t be farther from the truth.”

“It’s a hard three letters to absorb,” he said. “It’s a turning point in one’s life.”

He said he the diagnosis came after he suffered a series of migraines.

“After a battery of tests … they walked in the room and said, ‘Boom, here’s what’s going on,’ ” Sheen said.

He said he revealed the diagnosis to people he thought he trusted, but some of them demanded money to keep the information to themselves. He paid those people “in the millions,” he said.

“We’re talking about shakedowns,” he said. “I’ve paid those people — not that many.”

One of those people, he said was a prostitute who entered his bathroom, took a cellphone picture of his medication and threatened to sell the image to tabloids.

Asked if he would continue to pay the people he’d been paying, he said: “Not after today, I’m not.”

This Nicki Minaj Wax Figure was Sexually Abused by Multiple Visitors – Video

The sexual intersections with the waxed figure of Nicki Minaj got so bad that the Madame Tussauds museum “redesigned” the set around the figure. The museum also issue this statement;

“We have been made aware of the inappropriate photograph that was taken at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, involving Nicki Minaj’s new wax figure. Madame Tussauds attractions are interactive, immersive experiences, and our visitors are generally respectful towards the wax figures. It is unfortunate that this visitor decided to behave so inappropriately and we apologise for any offence this has caused.

“We are taking immediate steps to ensure more staff are present in this area and that the set around this particular figure is redesigned so that a picture like this cannot be taken again.”

The visitor they’re talking about is a man who got so carried away after seeing the display, that he jumped on the platform, went behind the figure and… well, watch the video.

Chris Christie – No Refugees in New Jersey, Especially “Orphans under 5 years old”

Tough-talking Chris Christie showed his breaking point Monday when he interviewed by phone with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, and expressed his concern for Syrian refugees coming to his state. And as far as Christie goes, he’s not having any of these people in New Jersey, not even “orphans under 5!”

“I do not trust this administration to effectively vet the people who are proposed to be coming in in order to protect the safety and security of the American people, so I would not permit them in,” Christie said.

Hewitt then asked, “What if they were orphans under the age of 5?”

“You know, Hugh, we can come up with 18 different scenarios. The fact is that we need appropriate vetting, and I don’t think orphans under 5 should be admitted into the United States at this point. You know, they have no family here. How are we going to care for these folks?” Christie said. “The fact is, you can come up with a number of different scenarios, Hugh, but in the end, I don’t trust this administration to effectively vet the people that they’re asking us to take in. We need to put the safety and security of the American people first.”

The governors of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Texas, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Massachusetts have gone further as to move formally to block refugees from relocating into their states – at least for now.

It should be noted that governors cannot turn people away from their state. They simply cannot say who can and cannot come in.
