It’s the time of year when we go without shaving, for a whole month, to bring awareness to cancer. Hide those razors, it’s for a good cause.

I am personally offended that the only black man in the race for president thinks the only way he can reach black people is to rap to them. Are you kidding me? So is it Carson’s thinking that black people cannot understand policies or don’t know or maybe just don’t care about the issues?
That this man is running for president is a joke. That he is the leading candidate in the Republican field for president is a travesty!
Here black people, this one’s just for you because rap music is apparently all you know!
Jeeze!

There is a growing backlash to NBC and Saturday Night Live’s decision to allow Republican presidential candidate and accused “racist”, Donald Trump, to host this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live.
The petitions delivered to 30 Rockefeller Plaza, home of NBC and “Saturday Night Live,” marked the latest attempts to dissuade the network from allowing the Republican presidential hopeful to host the show, with the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda earlier asking that NBC reconsider the decision.
“There’s mounting evidence that Donald Trump’s racist demagoguery is resulting in real-world violence and physical and verbal intimidation,” Mushed Zaheed, deputy political director of Credo Action, one of the participating groups, said in a statement.
In advance of the show, NBC released promotional spots featuring Trump that included one in which he refers to a Republican opponent, Ben Carson, as “a complete and total loser.”
Among the growing pressure, entertainer John Leguizamo has vowed never to watch the program again if Trump is featured on Saturday’s show.

“We have come to terms that Luke, our beautiful gift from God, is no longer with us,” Luke’s father, David Schemm, said. “Luke gave everything in life he had, in every moment. As a son, a brother and a friend.”
A high school football player collapsed and died moments after scoring a touchdown, NBC station KSN reported.
Luke Schemm’s on-field death was the 11th fatality related to high-school football since July, the affiliate reported, citing figures from the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
The 17-year-old high-school senior was playing for Wallace County High School in Sharon Springs, Kansas, when he scored a touchdown in the middle of the third quarter on Tuesday, his father told reporters. The teen ran to the sidelines and collapsed moments later.
Schemm was transferred to a hospital near Denver, Colorado, where doctors declared him brain dead. The announcement that the teenager was taken off life support was made by the family’s pastor during a vigil Wednesday night, according to KSN.

John Leguizamo made sure to mention that he is all for freedom of speech, but “celebrating” the things that Donald Trump has said by giving him a microphone on SNL was too much for the actor.
In an interview with Yahoo News, John said, “I find it hurtful and insulting, and you’re celebrating someone who has said some horrible things. I find it unacceptable. I will not watch … I won’t watch ‘SNL’ anymore.”

CNN is reporting that a source close to the U.S Intelligence community believes the terrorist group, ISIS had something to do with the recent crash of Russia’s Metrojet Flight 9268 over the Sinai Peninsula, a crash that killed 224 passengers.
According to CNN’s reporting, the source said, “there is a definite feeling it was an explosive device planted in the luggage or somewhere on the plane.”

When will she be able to rest in peace? Six months after she was found face down in her bathtub, Bobbi Kristina ever regained consciousness and died. And now the woman who took care of her in her last days at a hospice is arrested, in police custody for pretending to be a nurse.
There’s no indication in a police report obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday that Brown’s care was affected by Taiwo Sobamowo, the nurse in charge of caring for the 22-year-old at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth.
Police said Sobamowo, 32, was impersonating a licensed nurse with a similar name and faces charges that include identity fraud and nursing without a license.
In a statement, Homestead Hospice CEO Mallie Sharafat said the company performed a background check and reviewed references from other health care agencies in the area. The company contracts with the hospice to provide care employees.
“We had no reason to believe that she was anything other than a good nurse with proper credentials,” Sharafat wrote. “As soon as the credentialing discrepancy was discovered by one of our employees, we immediately took action and notified the appropriate authorities.”
Jeb Bush’s campaign should be studied, dissected and analyzed, then documented and hung in the campaign Hall of Shame for future campaigns to know what not to do.
The latest poll, conducted after last week’s third GOP debate in which Bush delivered a mediocre performance, just 4 percent of Republican and independent Republican-leaning voters said they would support Bush in their state’s primary. In the September survey, Bush earned 10 percent, trailing Trump, Carson and Carly Fiorina. And in terms of favorability, no one polled lower than Bush, at a net-negative of 33 points. Just 25 percent of all registered voters surveyed said they had a positive opinion of him, while 58 percent said they had a negative one.
For its part, the Bush campaign has tried to manage expectations among the media.
“FYI political press corps. Jeb’s going to have a few weeks of bad polls,” campaign communications director Tim Miller tweeted Monday. “Comebacks take time, we recognize and are prepared for that.”
He ran on a platform attacking Obamacare and other social issues like gay marriage etc., and promising to take away the people’s healthcare if given a chance as governor. Well, the people of Kentucky have spoken and voted for Republican Matt Bevin to be their next governor.
Bevin led Democrat Jack Conway, Kentucky’s two-term attorney general, 52 percent to 44 percent when the Associated Press called the race just after 8 p.m. Conway never trailed in a public poll this summer or fall, or during the run-up to Election Day, and Bevin even trailed in his campaign’s own internal polling. But the Republican kept the race close and Kentucky’s increasingly conservative lean swept him home.
Bevin’s victory upends a decades-long trend in Kentucky in which Democrats have seen success at the state level despite struggling in federal races. Bevin leaned on social issues, including Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis’s refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses this summer, to energize conservative voters. Bevin also criticized Conway for not defending the state’s same-sex marriage ban in court as attorney general.
And the Republican Governors Association spent millions of dollars on ads tying Conway to President Obama on coal, health care, and other issues, a formula that the group rode to success in other red-state races over the past five years.
Poor boy Jeb is losing at everything. He entered the Republican race as number 1 with all the heavy money bags following him around, but then Jeb began campaigning and just like that, his poll numbers plummet!
So yesterday Jeb rolled out a brand new slogan in hopes of rekindling the wet sticks used to lite the fire under his campaign. He went to his home town of Florida and held a rally in which he begged people to go buy his book. His slogan was catchy – JebCanFixIt – a perfect slogan for Twitter and Facebook and a Website.
But wait a second. If you type in jebcanfixit.com in your browser you’ll see a website, a website that has nothing to do with the Jeb Bush campaign or the jebcanfixit relaunch. A website belonging to a man in Texas who ran for the Austin City Council in 2014. The man, Mr. Jimmy Flannigan, is using the jebcanfixit website to say that Jeb Bush is stealing his idea. According to Mr. Flannigan, he came up with the ‘Flannigan Can Fix It’ slogan when he ran for the City Council in 2014, and now here comes Jeb with his ‘Jeb Can Fix It!’
Mr. Flannignan wrote; “In 2014, I ran for Austin City Council with the slogan “Flannigan Can Fix It” and now Jeb Bush is trying to steal my slogan!”
So, not only has Jeb failed to secure a website for his new slogan, according to Mr. Flannigan, Jeb is a thief!
It is times like this when I know my theory is correct, that Americans love punishment. How the hell is Ben Carson – a man who gives me the urge to flush the toilet everytime he opens his mouth, how can this man be tied with Hillary Clinton – the former Secretary of State – for president?
Pure insanity!
Clinton is ahead of Republican Donald Trump by eight points among registered voters, 50 percent to 42 percent.
She leads former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by four points, 47 percent to 43 percent.
And Clinton holds a three-point advantage over Sen. Marco Rubio, 47 percent to 44 percent, though that’s well within the poll’s margin of error of plus-minus 3.4 percentage points.
But against Ben Carson, who is now leading the GOP horse race in the NBC/WSJ poll, Clinton finds herself in a tied contest, 47 percent to 47 percent.
The reason why Carson performs better versus Clinton than the rest of the GOP field is due to Carson’s standing among independent voters.
