I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
She was sitting in the congregation when the pastor made the announcement that her husband was married to another woman.
“Your whole life, your whole life goes down the drain,” a neighbor told the news station. “It’s very sad.”
Patrick Celicourt, 49, of Apopka, Florida, is facing bigamy felony charges after his new marriage was announced in Pine Hills church while his wife of 22 years sat in the congregation.

Maybe he’s had enough with the crazies in his party. Or maybe, just maybe, he had a change of heart after meeting with the Pope yesterday.
Pope Francis addressed Congress yesterday and the Republican House Speaker John Boehner, was seen crying and crying as the Pope called for the members of Congress to work for the poor and the least among them. Being the head of a party that catered only to the rich and not the middle class or poor is in direct contrast to the Pope’s message, so maybe this decision by John Boehner is a direct result of the Pope tugging at his heartstrings!

A very important stop for Pope Francis was his stop in Washington, his address to the elected leaders of this country, his address to Congress.

Yogi Berra, the New York Yankees All-Star catcher who became as famed for his humorous adages as his athletic prowess, died Tuesday, the Yogi Berra Museum reported. He was 90.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Yogi Berra passed away Tuesday night at the age of 90,” the museum wrote in a statement.
The New York Yankees and Major League Baseball also reported news of Berra’s death
The legendary athlete was one of the most beloved competitors of our time — his kindness, humility and good humor complemented his gifts on the baseball diamond. Some of Berra’s famous quotes, such as “It ain’t over ’til it’s over,” became timeless and are still repeated today.
Berra played on 14 pennant-winning and 10 World Championship teams — more than any other player in baseball history.

In a scene reminiscent of the Hunger Games, Stephen Colbert paid tribute to Wisconsin governor, former GOP presidential candidate, and current loser, Scott Walker.
Walker, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now, was the latest Republican, the latest casualty of Donald Trump to drop out of the 2016 race for the Republican nomination to be president of the United States. And fittingly, the Hungry Games as done by Stephen Cobert was the perfect tribute for the Wisconsin loser.

Just in case you are one of the smart ones who skipped last week’s Republican debate, I’m sure by now you might of heard about a statement Jeb Bush made about his brother George.
In confronting Donald Trump, who at the time had George Bush in his crosshairs, Jeb opened his mouth and actually made this statement; “You know what? In reference to my brother, there’s one thing I know for sure, he kept us safe.”
And like many of the other unfortunately few who watched the debate, my mouth dropped open in awe after hearing that statement. And I was happy to see this ad that fact-checked jobs attempt to rewrite history, and showed him how dishonest his statement was.

With a close to zero ratings in the polls, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker bowed out of the Republican race for the 2016 presidential nomination.
The Wisconsin governor entered the primary in July as a front-runner in Iowa and a darling of both the conservative base and powerful donors after winning battles against public unions in his left-leaning home state. But that promising start was quickly dashed after poor debate performances dried up support from donors.
“Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive, conservative message can rise to the top of the field. With this in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately,” Walker said at a news conference in Madison, Wisconsin.
He encouraged other trailing Republican candidates to follow his path.
“I encourage other Republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive, conservative alternative to the current front-runner,” said Walker, referencing businessman Donald Trump. “This is fundamentally important to the future of our party, and, more important, the future of the country.”
In an interview published today with America magazine, Vice President Joe Biden once again answers the question on everyone’s mind – are you running for president in 2016.
“I mean, I’ve just got to be certain that if I do this, I’m able to look in the eye and everyone else and say I’m giving all my passion, all my, all my energy and will not be distracted. And secondly, equally as important, the other piece is: Is this moment, is this the best thing for the family as a unit?” Biden said.
Biden remarked that he has known “almost every person” who has made a White House bid since the age of 29, and the decision always hinges on “personal considerations.”
“Your whole family is implicated. Your whole family is engaged. So for us it’s a family decision, and I just have to be comfortable that this will be good for the family,” he explained.
“We’re just not there yet and may not get there in time to make it feasible to be able to run and succeed because there are certain windows that will close. But if that’s it, that’s it. But it’s not like I can rush it. It’s not like it either happens or it doesn’t happen. I know that’s not satisfying to anybody, but people who have been there, I know they understand,” the vice president said.
Trump has come under heavy fire over the last week for allowing a man at his town hall event to call President Obama a Muslim. And the comparison was made when in 2008, a woman at a John McCain town hall called Mr. Obama an “Arab.” Back then, John McCain stopped the woman, took the mic and corrected her, telling her that Mr. Obama is a decent American man with whom he sometimes disagree.
And rightly so, John McCain gained national respect from both Democrats and some Republicans for that moment of putting politics aside and telling the truth for a change.
But then there is Donald Trump.
Given that same opportunity to do something admirable, Donald Trump allowed the man to make his statement and even agreed with the man with his answer, “We’re gonna be looking at a lot of different things,” Trump answered.
But Trump wasn’t finished. In another event in Iowa on Saturday, Trump addressed the incident not by apologizing, but by attacking John McCain for being “harsh” against the woman in 2008.
“Remember the famous day when John McCain just ripped that microphone out of the woman’s hands?” Trump asked his audience while giving a speech to evangelical Christians in Iowa. “That was a little bit harsh, to be honest with you. Does anybody agree with me? That was harsh, wasn’t it? They gave him so much credit. Not me, I didn’t give him credit.”

![donald-trump5455-660x440 Donald Trump Answers Question - "When Do We Get Rid of [Muslims] - Video](https://ezkool.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/donald-trump5455-660x440.jpg)
It was the very first question asked in Donald Trump’s so-called town hall in New Hampshire. A man who identifies himself as being from White Plains “amen,” stepped to the microphone after a generous invite from the leading Republican presidential candidate.
“Okay, this man. I like this guy,” Trump said as he points to the man to take the mic. After identifying that he is from White Plains, the man Donald Trump said he likes proceeded to ask his question.
“We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even American!”
“We need this question,” Trump injected, apparently amused. The man from White Plains continued asking his question.
“But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question, when can we get rid of them?”
“We’re gonna be looking at a lot of different things,” Trump began, apparently admitting that getting rid of a whole group people because they’re Muslims make sense. And you know a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We’re gonna be looking at that and plenty of other things.”
So, ethnic cleansing is something Donald Trump will be looking into?
Republicans love this man.

If it wasn’t for Donald Trump, CNN wouldn’t have had a debate last night. Seriously, I mean come on! Every single question had to do with what Trump had previously said. “According to Donald Trump…this” or “Donald Trump said…that” and then the rest of the GOP presidential wannabes were asked to respond.
Things got so kiss-ass that even the bloviated please talk about me all the time Donald Trump himself noticed and spoke about it the day after, on msnbc.
“I thought I was on too much,” Trump said. “I felt badly for everybody else. Every question had to do with me. Even the first characters, I mean, everything was about Trump.”
Now when this statement is being made by a man who toots his own horn every chance he gets, you know something is seriously wrong.
Trump continued;
”
And then they go into this debate, and there was split screens all over the place. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was a little bit unfair to a lot of other people, frankly. But from my standpoint, I was treated fairly. Time magazine did a poll, and it had 67% say Trump won the debate. You know, I was listening to you talking about Carly, and I thought Carly was fine, but they saw it a little bit differently.”
CNN owes the American people an apology. No one, except CNN and Fox News, cares about Trump and his come pat me on my shoulder please campaigning style. People tuned into the debate to learn about the candidates’ position on the issues, and instead all we heard was candidates supporting Trump’s views, or where they disagreed with him.
Excuse me while I pat Trump on the shoulder for having the main stream media in his back pocket!

You can like and coming soon, the ability to dislike. As per Mark!
Facebook might finally give users the ability to “dislike” things. During a question-and-answer session streamed live on Facebook on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg said the company was testing alternatives to the “Like” button.
“People have asked about the ‘dislike’ button for many years,” Zuckerberg said at Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California. “Today is the day that I actually get to say we are working on it.”
