Florida: Maintenance Man Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Woman in Hotel Elevator

The woman said she woke up on the roof of the Clevelander Hotel in Miami Beach and saw that she was naked. About 3AM, she said a man found her and took her to the elevator where the sexual assault took place. She went to her room and call the police and Eberto Medrano Ramirez was arrested shortly after.

“The Clevelander Hotel is aware of an alleged assault in the early morning hours,” the hotel said in a statement. “As always, we are fully cooperating with the Miami Beach Police Department to fully investigate the situation. We do know at this time that no Clevelander associates were involved in the allegation. We will continue to work with local authorities as investigation is ongoing.”

Police are looking to see if this was a crime of opportunity and to determine if there are any others involved.

Ramirez’s bond was set at $10,000.

Republicans – Consistently Wrong about Obamacare – Six Examples

We’re not keeping count here, that would be like rubbing it in that we were right about Obamacare all along and they were wrong. But there are at least 6, count em, 6 Republican predictions on Obamacare that turned out to be wrong or just boldface lies.

Paul Krugman does the honors.

Here they are:

1. Enrollment will be very low, and

2. Even if people sign up, they won’t pay their premiums.

Reality: Signups exceeded expectations, and the vast majority paid.

3. More people will lose coverage cancelled by Obamacare than gain it.

Reality: Sharp drop in the number of uninsured.

4. Rate shock.

Reality: Like it says, affordable care.

5. Young people not signing up, and death spiral.

Reality: Pretty good demographics.

6. Soaring health costs.

Reality: Health costs are below anyone’s expectations.

It’s quite an impressive track record, actually. And what’s even more impressive is that none of the usual suspects will even consider admitting having been wrong.

Eminem’s Daughter Hailie Graduates High Shcool

Photo: Instagram

How old do you feel now? Seriously!

Seems like it was just yesterday Eminem was singing about his baby girl. Now she’s all grown up and shares her graduation photo on Instagram.

In October, Hailie was named homecoming queen of Chippewa Valley High School and on June 11 she graduated with an Academic Excellence Award, honoring her parents influence on the school website.

“My mother and father are because they have pushed me to be the person I am and have given me all the support to achieve what I have,” she said.

This is all really nice, because she appears to be having a really great, normal life. Although, the real take away here is that anyone who remembers listening to “Hailie’s Song” in 2002 is now officially ancient.

Bill Maher Tells Hillary Clinton – “Go Away… For a Couple of Years!”

Bill Maher offered some advise to the potential 2016 Democratic Presidential nominee… Hillary, “just go away!”

Maher spoke of all the mishaps Hillary Clinton had over the last few weeks, from her saying that they were “dead broke” when they left the White House in 2001 to the far from impressive roll-out of her latest book.  And Maher concluded that it would be best for her to just stay out of the public for the next couple years until 2016.

“My advice to Hillary: just go away. Go away for a while. We’re going to see each other in a couple of years, a lot, because otherwise you’re going to blow this,” Maher said.

Mississippi Teaparty Activist Dead from Apparent Suicide

Mark Mayfield, an attorney and tea party activist in Mississippi who was arrested in connection with a scheme to take illicit photographs of Sen. Thad Cochran’s infirm wife, has died of an apparent suicide.

Ridgeland, Miss., police responded to a call from Mayfield’s wife shortly after 9 a.m. Friday, according to a statement from the department. She directed police to a storage room, where they found Mayfield dead of a single gunshot wound to the head.

There was no indication of foul play, and a suicide note was reportedly found near his body.

The photos of Cochran’s wife shook up the Republican Senate primary race shortly before the June 3 election.

Mayfield was arrested May 22 along with Richard Sager and John Mary for their alleged involvement in a plan carried out by a supporter of Cochran’s primary opponent, Chris McDaniel.

Alan Colmes Explains To “Christian KKK” Leader That Jesus Wasn’t White – Video

An interesting discussion between Alan Colmes and a white supremacists leader in Pennsylvania… correction, a so-called Christian member and leader of the Pennsylvania chapter of the KKK!

Much of the discussion centered around the KKK leader referring to his group as “a christian group.” Colmes challenged that assertion by the man named William Walters, Grand Dragon of the East Coast Knights of the KKK. And as the discussion progressed, it became very clear as if we did not already know – there is nothing “Christian” about the KKK, they’re just a collection of uninformed, racist white folks intent on staying ignorant.

At one point in the discussion, Colmes pointed out that, although Jesus wasn’t white, he preached to all and believed in being inclusive. Colmes asked The Grand Dragon to explain exactly how they call themselves a christian organization, but refuses entry to non-whites. Of course, the racist had no answer.

Watch the confrontation below.

President Obama Spending Time with Rebekah

Rebekah, a mom from Minnesota, wrote the president to express the difficulties she is experiencing these days providing for her family. Realizing that Rebekah’s story is not unique, but one that is being told throughout this country, the president decided to spend a day in the life of Rebekah.

This is the first in a series of “day in the life” trips the President will be taking over the course of the summer — an opportunity to communicate directly with the people he’s working for every day.

Bill Clinton On DICK Cheney – He’s Mad Because Obama is Not Cleaning His Mess Fast Enough

In an interview with David Gregory from MSNBC, former President Bill Clinton hit the nail on the head when he explained why Dick Cheney is so upset with the Obama administration, especially when it comes to the war in Iraq. According to the former president, Cheney is “attacking the administration for not doing an adequate job of cleaning up the mess that he made.”

Gregory: The former vice president Dick Cheney said of President Obama in an op-ed claims that Al-Qaeda is decimated is not true, and in fact is on the march. The argument that America is less safe under President Obama. Do you believe Dick Cheney is a credible critic on these matters?

Clinton: (laughs) If they hadn’t gone to war in Iraq, none of this would be happening.

Gregory: It wouldn’t be happening in Syria. terrorist actors?

Clinton: Well it might be happening in Syria, but what happened in Syria wouldn’t have happened in Iraq. Iraq would not have been in effect drastically altered as it has been, but Mr. Cheney has been incredibly adroit for the last six years or so attacking the administration for not doing an adequate job of cleaning up the mess that he made. And I think it’s unseemly.

And I give President Bush, by the way, a lot of credit for trying to stay out of this debate and letting other people work through it.

So true, so very very true!

President Obama on Republicans – “they’ve decided they’re going to sue me for doing my job”

He’s back in campaign mode and President Obama has his eyes set on the opponent – the Republican Party.

Preparing his Democrats to hopefully maintain control of the Senate in November, President Obama hit the campaign trail again today and continued his calling out of the do nothing Republicans, actually calling them do nothing Republicans.

“They don’t do anything,” Obama told supporters gathered at a band shell near a Minneapolis lake. “Except block me, and call me names.”

The president ran down a list of items on which he and congressional Republicans are at odds, including a new immigration bill, a proposed increase in the minimum wage, extending unemployment insurance, and fair pay for women.

Obama, who is trying to help Democrats retain control of the Senate after the November elections, also mocked House Republicans for planning to sue him over his executive actions.

His various orders — including minimum wage hikes for federal contract workers and new environmental and workplace rules — are necessary because of congressional inaction, Obama said.

“They’re not doing anything, and then they’re mad that I’m doing something,” Obama said, adding that “they’ve decided they’re going to sue me for doing my job.”

Obama joked that, perhaps, “I might have said in the heat of the moment during one of these debates, ‘I want to raise the minimum wage, so sue me when I do’ — but I didn’t think they were going to take it literally.”

President Obama Mocks Republicans’ Stupidity on Climate Change – Video

Republicans make this too easy. When they dispute the undisputed scientific fact that climate change is happening and that humanity is actively contributing to that change, then yes, making fun or mocking their ignorance is totally too easy!

Speaking today in front of The League of Conservation Voters, the President pointed out the stupidity of the climate change deniers.

“In Congress, folks will tell you climate change is hoax or a fad or a plot. A liberal plot,” the President said. “They say, hey, I’m not a scientist, which really translates into, I accept that man-made climate change is real, but if I say so out loud, I will be run out of town by a bunch of fringe elements that thinks climate science is a liberal plot so I’m going to just pretend like, I don’t know, I can’t read.”

He goes on…

“I mean, I’m not a scientist either, but I’ve got this guy, John Holdren, he’s a scientist. I’ve got a bunch of scientists at NASA and I’ve got a bunch of scientists at EPA.”

“I’m not a doctor either, but if a bunch of doctors tell me that tobacco can cause lung cancer, then I’ll say, okay. Right? I mean, it’s not that hard.”
