Bobby Jindal Blames Single Mothers and Abortion for Oregon Shootings

No one is talking about Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. Since announcing that he is running for president, Bobby Jindal has been left out of every single conversation about the presidency. So in an effort to be relevant, bobby Jindal is blaming the shooting in Oregon on abortion and single mothers.

In the post (which we saw via ThinkProgress), titled “We Fill Our Culture With Garbage, And We Reap The Result,” Jindal “speak[s] the truth” about our “cultural rot.” A cultural rot apparently wrought on us, not by the easy availability of deadly weapons, but by violent television, video games, abortion, and single mothers. It’s like Republican Bingo and Jindal just hit the jackpot.

Jindal writes:

“We devalue human life, we have no regard for the sanctity of human life in any regard, from the unborn, to the old, and to every single person in between, we devalue it and act as if we have almost no regard for humanity.”…

In the next polls, expect to see Jindal’s numbers right where they are now – between 1 and 2%. Although Republicans love to talk about abortions and love blaming single mothers for everything wrong with society,  Bobby Jindal is clearly not
their messenger.

I also expect he’ll drop out of the race before December.

Lindsey Graham Wants Federal Aid for South Carolina – Voted Against Aid for New Jersey

Natural disasters don’t care who you are or where you live. And when they happen, we should all come together and help each other.

But back in 2013 when hurricane Sandy crippled the east coast, South Carolina Senator and current Republican presidential candidate, Lindsey Graham, voted to deny federal help for those in need.

My oh my how times have changed. In an interview on CNN, Graham was asked about his apparent hypocrisy and why federal help is necessary for South Carolina and not New Jersey.

He had no answer but knew 100 percent that his state needed all the federal help they can get no matter the cost.

“Let’s just get through this thing, and whatever it costs, it costs,” Graham told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room.

Then the amnesia set in when he was asked about his vote to not help the people of New Jersey.

“I’m all for helping the people in New Jersey. I don’t really remember me voting that way,” Graham said.

Pressed further, he said: “Anyway, I don’t really recall that, but I’d be glad to look and tell you why I did vote no, if I did.”

Republican’s Advice to Christians – “think about getting a handgun permit”

The Republican Lt. Governor from Tennessee, Ron Ramsey, went on his Facebook page with a message for all his “fellow Christians who are serious about their faith.” According to Mr. Ramsey, his fellow Christians should “think about getting a handgun permit.”

Ron Ramsey was referencing the recent mass shooting in Oregon, where a crazed gunman asked students at the Umpqua Community College if they were Christians, then shot the ones who answered yes. On the post, Ramsey wrote;

While this is not the time for widespread panic, it is a time to prepare. I would encourage my fellow Christians who are serious about their faith to think about getting a handgun carry permit. I have always believed that it is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

Our enemies are armed. We must do likewise.

But Ramsey didn’t stop there. He also included a link to a state government Web site that showed residents the steps in getting a gun permit.

Good work Mr. Ramsey. Jesus would be so proud!

Report: MSNBC and Keith Olbermann to Meet About Possible Return

NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 16: (FILE PHOTO) Television personality Keith Olbermann visits "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" at Rockefeller Center on June 16, 2011 in New York City. According to reports March 30, 2012, Spitzer will be replacing Keith Olbermann as the host of Current TV's ''Viewpoint.'' (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images)

Mediaite is reporting the possible return of Keith Olbermann to MSNBC, jump starting his “Countdown” program and using the 8pm time slot currently occupied by Chris Hayes. In an exclusive posting, Joe Concha at Mediaite states;

A well-placed source now informs me that a meeting has been set between Olbermann and Lack to discuss his return to the network and his old 8:00 PM slot. This arrangement was something that Mediaite’s Andrew Kirell first wrote about as a rumor in July; when asked for comment, a network executive with knowledge close to the situation tells me, “It is patently untrue.”

Said source indicates the impetus for the conversation is to jumpstart sagging ratings under Hayes, which despite an Emmy win this year has been a consistent drag on the rest of primetime since launching on April Fools Day in 2013. At one point this year in May, the show averaged only 74k in the demo, making it the worst performing MSNBC program at 8:00 PM since 2005. And given Olbermann is now a free agent after leaving ESPN again in July (Note: on good terms if the company’s farewell statement is any indication), he appears to be the only remedy for Lack.

Republican Kevin McCarthy Stars in Hillary Clinton’s New Ad – Video

When the Republican House Majority Leader opened his mouth last week and admitted the only reason for the Benghazi Committee was to bring down Hillary Clinton’s approval numbers, he had no idea he was staring in an ad in support of Hillary Clinton.

In an interview on Fox News, Kevin McCarthy proclaimed, “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her [poll] numbers today?”

And today, Clinton thanked the Republican, Kevin McCarthy, with this brand spanking new ad. I’m wondering how much Kevin got paid for this.

George Zimmerman Retweets Photo of Trayvon Martin’s Dead Body

And from the slime of the earth I bring you another George Zimmerman story. Although in this story, Zimmerman – the Florida man who murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin – is actually saying that he didn’t mean to do what he clearly did, retweeting a the picture of the dead teen’s body, a picture taken after Zimmerman shot and killed Martin.

I can only assume that someone or a number of people pointed out how disgraceful this tweet and retweet was, ’cause I am of the belief that George Zimmerman is too dumb to figure it out on his own. He later issued this statement stating that he didn’t mean to retweet the photo.

Yea Zimmerman, that is totally understandable. You see a photo of someone you killed and you share it around the world by mistake? Yea, okay…!

For what it’s worth, here is Zimmerman’s statement:

Trevor Noah Calls Out The GOP Hypocrisy – They are Selectively Pro-Life

Trevor Noah, the new host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, is picking up right where Jon Stewart left off – showing off with great ease, the hypocrisy of those in politics, namely, the Republican party.

On Monday’s show, Noah called out the Republicans for their hypocrisy when it comes to being “pro-life.” According to Noah, Republicans are only pro-life when it comes to the unborn, but when it comes to guns and the mass murders they cause, well, like Jeb Bush said, “stuff happens.”

Black Boy Suspended from School for Staring at White Girl – Video

According to the 12 year old boy, it was a staring contest and the girl was “laughing” the whole time. But when the girl’s parents found out that a black boy was staring at their daughter, the boy was suspended from school the next day.

“I never knew she was scared because she was laughing,” the boy wrote in an apology letter. “I understand I done the wrong thing that will never happen again. I will start to think before I do so I am not in this situation.”

The incident happened at a school in Glendale, Ohio. The boy’s parents files a lawsuit against the school claiming their child was denied due process, but a judge dismissed the suit and the suspension was upheld.

According to a statement from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati:

Judge Patrick Dinkelacker listened to the plaintiff’s arguments yesterday, rejected them, and dismissed the complaint against the school.  We aren’t going to comment any further on particular issues concerning our students.

11 Year Old Charged With Murder – Kills his 8 Year Old Neighbor

Don’t be silly, he didn’t buy the guy. He got it from his father – another Responsible gun owner!

An 11-year-old boy has been charged with murder after he killed his 8-year-old neighbor, police said, and witnesses say it was because the girl wouldn’t let him see her puppy.

Deputies were called to the neighborhood in White Pine, about 40 miles east of Knoxville, on Saturday night. The boy shot the girl from inside his home with his father’s 12-gauge shotgun, said Jefferson County Sheriff Bud McCoig.
Latasha Dyer told WATE-TV (http://bit.ly/1KWbDPA) her daughter was playing outside when the next-door neighbor asked to see the puppy. McKayla told the boy “no,” and he shot her, Dyer said. A neighbor, Misty Edwards, said her niece was playing with the girl and saw what happened.

“She was a precious little girl. She was a mommy’s girl. No matter how bad of a mood you were in she could always make you smile,” Dyer told the station. “I want her back in my arms.”

Florida Cop Fired for Tasing Man for No Apparent Reason – Video

The man stood in his own home, both hands raised, showing the screaming cop that he was no threat, but still getting tased in his living room by a cop who was apparently scared for his life!

The officer from Zephyrhills Florida, was a 10 year veteran of the police department. He insisted that the man “come outside to talk to me.” The man refused to go out, insisting that he had done nothing wrong, is not armed and raised both hands to show the cop that he had no weapons. His soft-spoken and calm demeanor apparently threatened the officer, who, screaming to the top of his lungs for the man to talk to him, pulled the trigger on his taser and dropped the homeowner to the floor.

The officer was fired last Thursday after an internal investigation.

Atlanta Man Loses His Job After Posting Racist Picture on Facebook

Maybe it was meant to be a joke. You know how they all say, oh I’m not racist I know black people. So maybe the guy in this photo who posted this picture on his Facebook page thought it would be funny to let his friends comment on what they think was happening.

Well the comments flowed and almost immediately the world saw these people for who they are. The racism expressed in this post are bad enough, but directed to the little 3-year-old child took the man and his Facebook friends to a whole other level.

The man in the picture is Gerod Roth, who went by Geris Hilton on Facebook. He is now a former employee of the Atlanta-based Polaris Marketing Group (PMG) because when his boss, PMG’s president Michael Da Graca Pinto, saw the post and the racism it brought forth, he quickly terminated Gerod’s  position and posted this on Facebook.

This morning I was disgusted to learn that one of my former employees made several racially charged comments on his personal Facebook page. Even worse, the comments were directed toward the son of another employee.

It breaks my heart that Sydney and her adorable son Cayden were subjected to such hateful, ignorant and despicable behavior. Cayden visits my office almost every afternoon after daycare, he’s sat at my dinner table and I consider him a part of the PMG family.

The atrocious lies, slander and racism he and his mother have been forced to endure are wholly intolerable. Myself and the entire PMG family in no way condones this kind of behavior and would never willingly associate with anyone who does.

It has no place in the world.

PMG has terminated the employee responsible and will ensure that none of the businesses that we associate with will ever do business with him again.

Good riddance I’m sure!

Gun Control Australia Calls for Boycott on Travels to America – Video

It’s like anything else you don’t believe in or support – if it goes against your values system, then you hit them in the wallet where it hurts most – you boycott! And that is exactly what Gun Control Australia Director, Samantha Lee, is calling for – ending all unnecessary trips to America until Americans, particularly those in the Republican party and their NRA buddies, realize that their inaction on gun violence is literally killing the nation!

“We have 2.1 million Australians visiting the U.S. every year and over 200,000 expats in America. So I believe we have a duty to respond to this tragedy in the U.S. And the way to do this is have a boycott of non-essential travel to the U.S.”

“Millions of dollars are donated by the [National Rifle Association], particularly to the Republican party [in America] In Australia, we need to be cautious that we also don’t take any donations from the firearms industry, and we need to raise this issue with the U.S.”
