His events have become a favorite hangout spot for Black Lives Matter protesters, so Bernie Sanders finally addressed the concerns of the movement, vowing to fight racism if he becomes president in 2016. Speaking in front of a packed Los Angeles arena, Sanders attempted to address the concerns of the group.
“There is no president that will fight harder to end institutional racism,” said Sanders, who was answered with a deafening roar and chants of “Bernie” from a packed Los Angeles Sports Arena, whose usual capacity is about 16,000 people.
The rally began taking on the issue head-on as Symone Sanders — Bernie Sanders’ new national press secretary who is not related to the candidate — opened the program and talked at length about racial injustice.
Symone Sanders is a black criminal justice advocate and a strong supporter of Black Lives Matter movement, and said Sanders was the candidate to fight for its values.
“It is very important that we say the words ‘black lives matter,’ Symone Sanders said. “But it’s also important to have people in political office who are going to turn those words into action. No candidate for president is going to fight harder for criminal justice reform and racial justice issues than Senator Bernie Sanders.”
On Saturday, protesters from Black Lives Matter took over a microphone at a Sanders event in Seattle and forced him to abandon an afternoon speech.
Well put all the rumors to rest. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their second child. Kardashian posted the selfie on Instagram and from the looks of things, North West will have to share the inheritance with the South… or the East… or… there’s 32 points of the compass for crying out loud!
First they say I’m too skinny so I have to be faking it…Now they say I’m too big so I have to be faking it…SMH! Some days I’m photographed before I eat & look smaller, some days I’ve just eaten & I look bigger. It’s all a part of the process. I think you all know me well enough to know I would document the process if I got a surrogate. Everyone’s body is different, every pregnancy is very different! I’ve learned to love my body at every stage! I’m going to get even bigger & that’s beautiful too! I’m blessed to even be pregnant & even luckier to not have preeclampsia as far as I know, so I don’t have the swelling issue this time! They also say your body carries a boy different than a girl! Whatever the case may be I’m grateful to God for this miracle & no matter what rumors or comments you throw my way this time they truly don’t affect me! #NoFilter#NoPhotoShop #GoodLighting 😜
One year later, as unrest and protest returned to Ferguson Missouri marking the first year anniversary of the shooting of Mike Brown, the police union in Missouri is apparently having its own celebration. The union has taken to Facebook and proclaimed Brown’s death as Darren Wilson Day. You remember Darren Wilson right? He is the police officer who served and protected Mike Brown by pumping multiple bullets into Brown’s body as Brown ran away.
The post on the page of the Columbia Police Officers’ Association incited outrage in the college town, including among city officials. Protestors gathered Monday outside the police department, according to the newspaper.
The post said the shooting had nothing to do with race and referred to Wilson, who was a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, as an “innocent, but persecuted, officer,” according to the Post-Dispatch. It also said Wilson was innocent because of “the fact that he was thoroughly investigated… and found he did NOTHING wrong,” according to the report.
The post was shared almost 60 times, according to an ABC affiliate.
Everything ‘Fox’ is all about publicity. But after watching this clip of a Fox35 host walking off stage after the subject of Kardashian came up, I’m convinced… This host, John Brown, is sick and tired of talking about the Kardashians. He’s had enough! Said he was “having a good Friday” and couldn’t talk about the famous or infamous family that day!

Here is the Kardashian rant. Sorry, I lost my mind a bit, although it was partially in jest! I did feel better though after I was done.See more Good Day Orlando videos: http://bit.ly/JLScxX #FOX35

Well chalk another one up for Bernie Sanders. The Washington Post is reporting that Bernie has scored a major endorsement from the National Nurses Union, which essentially means that Hillary Clinton did not get their endorsement… essentially!
National Nurses United, which represents 185,000 nurses across the country, announced its pick at an event in Oakland attend by Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont who has emerged as Hillary Rodham Clinton’s chief rival for the Democratic nomination.
“He can talk about our issues as well as we can talk about our issues,” RoseAnn DeMoro, the union’s executive director, said in an interview, adding that “Bernie’s issues align with nurses from top to bottom.”
The endorsement was the first for Sanders from a national labor group. Last month, the American Federation of Teachers announced its support for Clinton, calling her “the champion working families need in the White House.”
You might have heard that Donald Trump was involved in a Republican debate last week. And yes, questions were asked at the debate as is normal. But the donald is trying to set a new standard. He wants to dictate what questions are asked and if the questions do not pass his smell test, then he wants an apology for wasting his time.
Megyn Kelly of Fox News has been on the receiving end of the donald and all the venom the donald is capable of spitting. Her apparent mistake was asking the donald about past sexist remarks he has made. You might have heard that donald is running for president of the United States and is presently leading in a crowded Republican field.
Well Megyn’s questions didn’t fall on Trump’s good side and he chastised her greatly for using the debate to question him. Even calling her a “bimbo” and suggesting that her menstrual cycle was responsible for her questions.
But Trump is not stopping there. He now wants Megyn Kelly to apologize to him for asking a “stupid” and “unfair” question.. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Trump had the nerve to not only appear on the show, but also to utter these words – “She should really be apologizing to me, you want to know the truth. And other candidates have said that.”
I think this is an experiment in politics, something no one has ever tried before. Donald Trump is trying to see just how far he can go before Republicans in his party revolt and kick him to the curb. The only problem is this Republican party has an unusual high tolerance for ignorance and bias, so instead of the revolt, Donald Trump might find himself gaining more favors among the Republican voters, as has been the case since he began his experiment months ago!

The ironic thing is, Trump’s attacks on Megyn Kelly is in response to a question she asked during the Fox News debate about his attacks on women. And to that question, Trump attacked Kelly, while insisting that he doesn’t attack women.
His latest attack on the Fox News host came on CNN when Trump credited Kelly’s menstrual cycle for her debate question. Speaking to CNN’s Don Lemon, Trump said, “you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.”
And for this sexist attack, you can bet Trump gained a few more votes from Republican voters. They love these attacks on women. The GOP’s war on women is alive and well!
After the interview, Trump doubled down on his blood statement in a tweet. But this time, he suggested “nose” as the other place where blood poured out of Kelly’s body.
Yep. That should do it. That should teach Megyn Kelly a lesson – never ask Donald Trump a legitimate question at a Republican debate.
After his personal sexist attack in the Fox News host for asking him to comment on his past sexist statements, Donald Trump took to Twitter and retweeted a tweet calling Kelly a “Bimbo.”
I love the way Yahoo News put this. They said if Trump had his way, his tax hike proposal would have made Bernie Sanders proud.
In classic Trump fashion, the plan was big and bold. If enacted, Trump’s plan would have been biggest tax hike, in total raw dollars, in history. In a word, it would have been huge.
The year was 1999 and Trump was toying with the idea of running for President as a third party candidate. The idea, which Trump says he no longer supports, was to impose a one-time tax of 14.25 percent on every American worth more than $10 million and raise exactly enough money to pay off the debt.
Trump himself would have had to pay more than $700 million. But he didn’t care. He calculated his plan would erase the entire national debt and save the government millions in interest payments, allowing tax cuts for everybody else.
Here’s how Trump described the plan on “Good Morning America” on Nov. 10, 1999:
“Well, basically, this would be a one-time tax, 14.25 percent against people with a net worth of over 10 million,” Trump said. “It would pay off in its entirety the national debt of $5.7 trillion, and you’d save $200 billion a year. So taxes for the middle class would go way down, the estate and inheritance tax totally wiped out, and the Social Security system would be saved.”
One word – SICK!
In a 40-count indictment, a Brooklyn grand jury said Joel Doseau, 43, who is assigned to the Brooklyn South command, had an ongoing sexual relationship with the girl, now a woman in her early 20s, that started in 2008 when she was just 15, two years below the age of legal consent.
Sources said Doseau actually met the girl a year earlier, when she was just 14.
The alleged perv cop wooed the underage teen online, and lied to her about being more than twice her age, telling her he was younger than the 37 years he really was, sources said.
The girl believed him, according to the sources, and sent the police veteran nude photographs of herself.
Talk, chats and secret picture posting soon turned into sex, which began some time in the summer of 2008.
The two allegedly had sex several times in an ongoing illicit relationship.
Their contact included oral sex and sexual intercourse, according to court papers.
The indictment said Doseau had sexual intercourse with the girl in the summers of 2008 and 2009, and that he initiated oral sex “without such person’s consent.” Sources said she only reported the abuse in recent days.
It was unclear how long the alleged relationship continued, and it was also unclear why she reported the abuse when she did.
Doseau, who earned more than $101,000 last year with overtime, was arrested at about 8 a.m. in Williamsburg. Among the charges he faces are seven counts of rape, five counts of promoting the sexual performance of a child, 11 counts of sexual abuse and misconduct and three counts of acting in a manner injurious to a child, police said.
Doseau was arraigned before Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice John Ingram and released on $100,000 bond. The indictment said he knew his actions were “likely to be injurious to the physical, mental or moral welfare” of the child.
He faces up to 15 years in prison on the top charge.
The presidential election is in full swing and tonight, the best the Republicans have to offer will strut their stuff on a stage provided by Fox News. It should be a spectacle. But Democratic candidate for president, Bernie Sanders, is making a pretty good guess as to what will happen when the repubs take the stage – appeasing the rich.
“When you watch that debate just imagine if you are one of the wealthiest people in this country and extremely greedy and selfish, and you’re going to have 10 candidates more or less talking about your needs and not the needs of working people,” Sanders said in a recorded interview with Ari Rabin-Havt on SiriusXM’s Progress Channel.
Sanders continued; “They want to give more tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires at a time when the rich are getting much richer,” Sanders said. “They want to cut or privatize Medicare, cut Medicaid, cut education, cut the environmental protection agency.”
I must say, I do believe Sanders is correct. The party of the rich is only interested in one thing, and that is finding ways to give more to the rich. And that has nothing to do with the poor or middle class. The sad thing is the poor and middle class are the ones who putting these people in office.
