Former NBA player and former Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson, was captured on video Saturday preaching a street corner in Los Angeles. Jackson, a devote Christian brought his A game to the street corner, as he preached about Jesus with members of his congregation.
TMZ reports that the occasion was “World Vision Day,” which Jackson himself described as … “A call 4 every Believer 2 hit the Streets n Preach for 1 hr.”
The former player and coach was clearly in his element. I wouldn’t be surprised if the title “Reverend” comes next.
Chris Matthews of MSNBC actually made some news Monday night. He did not beat up on the president. And that in itself is amazing providing that of lately, the Hardball host has been on a personal vendetta it seems, to help bolster the Republican’s talking points.
Oh, and Matthews made another set of news. In an interview with Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz and Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings, Matthews asked Chaffetz his opinion on whether two-time loser Mitt Romney is running for president a third time. Chaffetz answered with no doubt in his mind that Mitt Romney is in deed, running!
Chaffetz even went as far as predicting that in 2016, the Flipper will be the next president of the United States.
A 12-year-old girl is set to be taken off life support Monday after she was shot in the head while riding a scooter in northern New Jersey on Saturday night, police said.
Genesis Rincon was critically injured in the 8:40 p.m. shooting in Paterson and would not pull through, her family said from her bedside, where they were saying their goodbyes Sunday.
“They’re hurting, they’re in mourning, but they’re outraged,” a spokesman for the family Rev. Della Fischer, told CBS News York. “This is senseless.”
Little Genesis was walking with two other kids on Rosa Parks Boulevard when she was cut down by a stray bullet, police said.
The trio was heading back to a family party after making a run to a nearby store, which was closed.
“Not to raise their voices” and not to talk too much. That ladies, is Fox’s advice to you. According to these brainiacs, keeping your mouths shut is the secret to success.
Fox News host and proud card carrying member if the Knuckle dragging community, Steve Doocy introduced Sylvia Ann Hewlett’s book, Executive Presence, by advising that women should wear “well-cut jeans with a colorful top,” while an on-screen graphic told them “not to raise their voices.”
Co-host Anna Kooiman, however, argued that “women shouldn’t be so focused on what we look like, and what we’re wearing, but what our mind can do.”
“Also a little thing that you think is important is your presentation and your voice,” co-host Brian Kilmeade added. “Keep it low, don’t speak loud.”
“For women,” Doocy emphasized.
Hewlett explained that a lot of women from the South were taught to “fill the air with words… but oftentimes that undermines you, just rambling.”
Republican House Speaker, John Boehner is busy putting Americans back to work and fighting for the middle class by writing articles on CNN. The House speaker op-ed writer explained why he is bringing suit against the president of the United States.
Every member of Congress swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So did President Barack Obama.
But too often over the past five years, the President has circumvented the American people and their elected representatives through executive action, changing and creating his own laws, and excusing himself from enforcing statutes he is sworn to uphold — at times even boasting about his willingness to do it, as if daring the American people to stop him.
That’s why, later this month, we will bring legislation to the House floor that would authorize the House of Representatives to file suit in an effort to compel President Obama to follow his oath of office and faithfully execute the laws of our country.
Got that? Boehner is suing the president for apparently using the fewest Executive Orders, for overseeing an economy where over 9 million private sector jobs were created over the last 52 consecutive months and an unemployment rate of 6.1%. Oh yea, a stock market in record territory!
My question is this, who’s bringing suit against Boehner and the Republican party of NO for putting their hate of the president over their constitutional responsibilities? That’s the lawsuit I’m waiting for.
While the rest if the nation celebrated America’s independence, Chicago residents were busy doing what they are slowly becoming known for – shooting each other. The holiday weekend left 60 people shot, 9 killed.
The first fatal shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Friday, kicking the weekend off to a violent start. Corey Hudson, 34, was killed in a drive-by shooting. Hudson was fatally shot, while his friend was left wounded. There were also three police-involved shootings on July 4th alone, leaving one suspect dead.
While the soaring violence in Chicago is no new issue, the city has been working to actively combat and reduce gun violence in recent years – especially after one of its bloodiest years in 2012, when Chicago was the only city in the country to record over 500 homicides.
“We will keep building on our strategy, putting more officers on the street in summer months, proactively intervening in gang conflicts, partnering with community leaders,” Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said in a statement.
To bring down the murder rate, police have been dispatched by the hundreds to some of Chicago’s most dangerous neighborhoods. Although this strategy appeared to be working in 2013 when homicides fell to 415, Chicago still had one of the highest murder rates in the country.
The Chicago Tribune updated its tally of shootings in the Windy City to 1,129 so far for this year. But it’s still less than 2013, which saw over 2,000 shootings
Federal Judge Richard Kopf, who was appointed to a U.S. District Court in Nebraska by George H.W. Bush, slammed the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision in his personal blog, Hercules and the Umpire, and told the judges to “stfu.”
He said that the court’s ruling looked bad, as the majority opinion was signed on to by five male, Catholic judges appointed by a Republican president.
“To the average person, the result looks stupid and smells worse,” he wrote. “The decision looks misogynist because the majority were all men. It looks partisan because all were appointed by a Republican. The decision looks religiously motivated because each member of the majority belongs to the Catholic church, and that religious organization is opposed to contraception.”
Kopf argued that the Supreme Court should have left the case alone, and should stay far away from controversial issues.
“Next term is the time for the Supreme Court to go quiescent–this term and several past terms has proven that the Court is now causing more harm (division) to our democracy than good by deciding hot button cases that the Court has the power to avoid. As the kids says [sic], it is time for the Court to stfu,” he wrote.
Senator John McCain of Arizona accidentally referred to Hillary Clinton as “President” today in an interview. He immediately realized his mistake and quickly took it back.
But was it really a mistake or was the senior senator from Arizona practicing for inevitable in 2016.
McCain was responding on CBS’ Face the Nation to a compliment from Clinton calling him her ‘favorite Republican.’
He uncomfortably laughed it off before mistakenly elevating her to the job she’s expected to campaign for in 2016.
‘I hope this part of the program is blacked out in Arizona – please cut,’ he joked as he made a slashing gesture over his neck. ‘I respect Secretary, Senator Clinton. I respect her views. We have had disagreements on a number of issues.’

He then acknowledged Clinton’s frontrunner status in a rather unorthodox way.
‘I think it’s my job to work with every president,’ McCain said, before quickly adding while comically contorting his face with mock fear, ‘If she is – regrettably – if she attains the presidency.’
Personally, I think it was all done to promote her new book. A regular interview gets no publicity. But storming off set gets everyone, including me, talking about you.
In this interview with Joan Rivers on CNN, the comedian was a little too serious and she tried to defend herself against… nothing.
It baffles my mind to see the extent at which these people go to prove that racism still exists, in spite of the laughable recent Supreme Court decision that said racism was dead.
In Norfolk Nebraska, the patriotism was strong as residents celebrated the 4th of July festivities. Onlookers lined the parade route as different floats went by. Then there were loud laughter and applause as a specific float made its way along route.
Perched on a flatbed truck was an outhouse with a dark figurine of president Obama dressed in overalls and propped up by a metal walker. And nailed to the sides of the wooden latrine were two signs, in all cap letters that read, “OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY.”
“We don’t feel it’s right to tell someone what they can and can’t express,” said parade committee member Rick Konopasek. “This was political satire. If we start saying no to certain floats we might as well not have a parade at all.”
Konopasek cited the fact that the float received loud applause from the onlookers as the reason why it wasn’t racist or offensive, saying “its obvious the majority of the community liked it. So should we deny the 95 percent of those that liked it their rights, just for the 5% of people who are upset?”
Rick also said that the community is predominantly conservative. And he admitted that it would have gone against free speech and the 4th of July independence celebration, to deny the float’s entry into the parade. With that said, sexually explicit floats will not get the same freedom of expression rights Rick awarded the Obama hating float. According to the parade organizers, sexually based floats were denied participation in the parade.
It is abhorrent and absolutely disgraceful that in 2014 racial prejudice and intolerance still exist and is so outwardly expressed.
There is no consideration given to the marred history of this country. A history based in slavery, lynchings, and some of the most vile acts committed against any group of people. And it is even worse that this intolerance is the ideology adopted by the Republican party.
Republicans – the party of “morals and family values,” and apparently hypocrites.
The Bill Cassidy Senate campaign announced Thursday that the candidate’s unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant as she prepares for her senior year at a Baton Rouge high school.
Cassidy, a Republican congressman from Baton Rouge, said in a statement provided NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune that his daughter faces “a more challenging future” and that she has his and his wife Laura’s unconditional support. The baby is expected later this summer.
Much like Sarah Palin, who announced that her own unmarried 17-year-old daughter was expecting just before she addressed the Republican National Convention as John McCain’s surprise 2008 vice presidential selection, the Cassidy campaign chose to pre-emptively disclose the information about their daughter’s pregnancy.
The Cassidy campaign provided this statement:
“Earlier this year, Laura and I learned we will become grandparents this summer. Our children have been the greatest blessing of our lives and we welcome our grandchild as a joyous addition to our family. Our daughter now faces a more challenging future than her peers. She has our unconditional love and support.”
