Ariana Grande Issues Another Apology for Donut Licking, America Bashing Incident

After video was released by TMZ showing Ariana Grande licking a donut at Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, California and saying that she hates America, the entertainer quickly went on damage control and issued an apology where she professed her love for the country and how proud she was to be an American.

The apology was called a “non-apology” by some because it ended with “… let me once again apologize if I offended anyone with my poor choice of words.” She then went on Twitter to clean that up as well. “need to clean up this mouth of mine” she said in the tweet. “always learning.”

But for some, the damage was already done, which may explain why Ariana felt the need to go on video this time for yet another apology.

South Carolina’s Confederate Flag Comes Down to Chants of USA! USA! – Video

COLUMBIA, SC - JUNE 22: The Confederate flag flies on the Capitol grounds after South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced that she will call for the Confederate flag to be removed on June 22, 2015 in Columbia, South Carolina.

In 1961, the confederate flag was raised over South Carolina’s capitol in support of segregation and to protest integration. In the year 2000, it was moved to a flagpole in front of the Statehouse. Today, some 54 years after the flag was raised, it came down and ushered away to a nearby museum.

At an event attended by thousands chanting “USA, USA” and “Hey, hey, hey, goodbye,” the state’s Highway Patrol honor guards brought the divisive flag down at 10:33AM on Friday. The pole will also be removed at a later date.

Why is this video coming out now? Well it seems that some, if not all of the women accusing him of sexual misconduct, were apparently telling the truth. Newly revealed court records show Cosby admitting that he used drugs on some of the women he wanted to have sex with.

So maybe this song explains the reason for his actions with these women.

Jeb Bush’s Economic Plan – “People Should Work Longer Hours”

I guess when your father was a failed president of the United States, and your brother was a failed President of the United States and you are running to carry on their failed legacy, then it is quite reasonable for you to think that working longer hours is the key to success.

Bush told New Hampshire’s The Union Leader that to grow the economy, “people should work longer hours.”

He was answering a question about his plans for tax reform and responded:

“My aspiration for the country and I believe we can achieve it, is 4 percent growth as far as the eye can see. Which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours” and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families. That’s the only way we’re going to get out of this rut that we’re in.”

Already the Democratic National Committee has pounced, releasing a statement that calls his remarks “easily one of the most out-of-touch comments we’ve heard so far this cycle,” adding that Bush would not fight for the middle class as president.

Final Vote – South Carolina Confederate flag Coming Down

You can still fly the flag on your own property, but the “deeply offensive symbol” as South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley called it, is officially coming down from the State’s capitol grounds.

After nearly all of South Carolina Senators voted to take the flag down last week in a 36 to 3 vote, the state’s House voted to do the same early Thursday morning, in a 220 to 94 vote. The bill was sent to Governor Nikki Haley around 1am to be signed into law.

The flag received renewed scrutiny after a racist white supremacist – seen in pictures burning the American flag and waving the confederate flag – murdered nine black church members as they held a Bible Study in a predominantly black Church in Charleston South Carolina. Among those killed was the pastor of Emanuel AME Church and a State Legislature, Pastor Clementa Pinckney. Gov Haley then promised that she would used Executive order to removed the flag if all other measures failed.

Among those calling for the flag’s removal was Rep. Jenny Horne, who made a passionate plea to her fellow representatives before the vote was held.

This South Carolina Republican’s Passionate Speech to Remove the Confederate Flag

Her name is Jenny Horne and until today, I would have bet that all Republicans want the confederate flag to keep flying. Yes, they would say one thing when the lights and cameras are turned on, but when the lights go off, these same Republicans talk about their love of the flag and all it represents. But after listening to Jenny Horne I am convinced that she is one Republican who is against the flag and all the evil it represents.

Listen to State Rep. Jenny Horne’s passionate call to her fellow politicians to rip down the flag!

Message in Baltimore Police Van – “Enjoy your ride, cuz we sure will!” – PIC

This message was checked out and verified by ABC. You’d think that after the senseless killing of Freddie Gray from injuries he sustained in the back of a Baltimore police van, you’d think that everything possible was being done to ensure sensitivity in the Baltimore police department.

But you’d be wrong to think that. This pic was taken in the back of a Baltimore police van, the same type of van where Freddie Grey’s spine became partially severed.

The Baltimore police department is now investigating.

No Joke – Florida County Votes to Put Confederate Flag Back Up – Video

It’s Florida, so what do you expect. If there were ever going to be a vote in favor of flying the confederate flag, Florida would be the place to hold such a vote! And today, after all the fuss about the racism surrounding the flag, Florida has decided to put their flag back up on full display!

Officials in Florida’s Marion County have decided to buck the national — not counting Mississippi — trend of removing the Confederate battle flag from government buildings by restoring the one they took down after the June shootings in Charleston, South Carolina.

At the Marion County Commission meeting Tuesday morning, “several” members of general public argued that the flag ought to be restored, and the commission voted to do exactly that.

Members of the commission assured the Ocala Star Banner’s Kristine Cane, however, that the flag would be accompanied by an informative display that would outline its historical significance.

It will come as no surprise that many in the conservative world are buying into this piece of propaganda. It was first posted by conservative elite, Dinesh D’Souza on Twitter and on his Facebook page, and has since been shared my other eager Republicans who will stop at nothing to save the confederate flag.

Here is the Twitter post from Dinesh, showing Hillary Clinton posing with the confederate flag displayed in the background.

But as usual, facts mean nothing to this group of Republicans as they shared all jumped into a frenzy sharing the fake image of Clinton with the photoshopped flag!

Realizing the photo was a fake, Twitter users took it a step further using Dinesh D’Souza himself, posing next to some questionable artifacts. This tweet took the cake!

More Racist Actions from Paula Deen – PIC

Brand new accusations of racism were hauled at Celebrity Chef Paula Deen Tuesday, after she took to Twitter and posted a picture – reportedly taken in 2011 – of herself dressed as Lucille Ball from I Love Lucy, and her son sporting a brown face, apparently meant to represent Lucy’s husband, Rickey.

“”Lucyyyyyyy! You got a lot of esplainin’ to do! #TransformationTuesday,” the photo caption read.

Twitter users went understandably went NUTS!

Deen was dropped from Food Network in 2013 after she admitted in a videotaped deposition to using the N-word and to telling staff that she wanted her brother to have a ‘”southern plantation wedding” featuring an all-black waitstaff. Deen gave the deposition for a discrimination suit against her, her company and her brother. The fallout from those comments cost her several other lucrative business relationships.
