Man Yells “I Can’t Breathe, You’re Killing Me” before Dying in Police Custody – Video

This incident happened back in 2013, but body-cam video of the killing of 51-year-old Oakland resident Hernan Jaramillo, was just released.

The Oakland police were called to Herman’s residence by Hernan’s sister around 1:40am on July 8, 2013 . She reported that noise coming from Herman’s room gave her the impression that something serious was happening in his room. She thought someone was trying to kill her brother.

Police arrived at the residence and tried getting Herman out of the room. After several attempts, the officers gained access the room, confronted and arrested Mr. Jaramillo. According to court papers, the city attorney said that Jaramillo resisted police commands 20 times when they took him outside and tried to put him in their car. At this point, Mr. Jaramillo was not a suspect

While trying to get the man into the car, one officer, Ira Anderson, said he noticed Mr. Jaramillo’s handcuff was done in the front instead of behind him.

“I grabbed him by the shirt,” Anderson stated. “I brought him away from the car … did a leg sweep and put him on the sidewalk.”

It was there on the sidewalk where Mr. Jaramillo cried for his life as officers restrained him. One witness said a police officer had his knee in Jaramillo’s back.  “I can’t breathe,” Jaramillo cried, “They’re killing me!” This was said multiple times.

“You’re gonna stay here until you relax,” one officer is heard telling Jaramillo. Later in the video the officer said, “Sir, we’re not killing you.”

When medical personnel arrived, Jaramillo was found handcuffed and unresponsive.

Bill O’Reilly Calls Trump a “Buffoon” – Fails to Convince Trump to do Debate – Video

Roger Ailes failed again when he sent out his top dog to bully Donald Trump into doing the Fox Debate on Thursday. In an interview on Wednesday, O’Reilly did all he could, even trying to bribe Trump with “milkshakes”, to get the Republican presidential candidate to do the Thursday night debate.

Trump, who has been in a no holds barred war with Megyn Kelly since Kelly asked a valid question in a Republican debate back in 2015, has been adamant in his decision to boycott another Kelly moderated debate on Thursday. In the interview, Bill O’ Reilly tried and tried, and failed consistently, even bringing up Trump’s “Christian” faith, to convince him to “forgive” Kelly and “turn the other cheek.”

Trump wouldn’t give. So an exasperated Bill O’ Reilly called Trump a “Buffoon,” although he didn’t come straight out and say, you’re a buffoon. Bill O’ pulled the same trick played by many others in the political media, saying there are some who say Trump is a buffoon. You know, put it out there and hope the words have their intended effect.

Watch the craziness below.

Donald Trump Pelted with Tomatoes in Iowa – Video

Real estate mogul Donald Trump announces his bid for the presidency in the 2016 presidential race during an event at the Trump Tower on the Fifth Avenue in New York City on June 16, 2015. Trump, one of America's most flamboyant and outspoken billionaires, threw his hat into the race Tuesday for the White House, promising to make America great again. The 69-year-old long-shot candidate ridiculed the country's current crop of politicians and vowed to take on the growing might of China in a speech launching his run for the presidency in 2016. "I am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again," he said from a podium bedecked in US flags at Trump Tower on New York's Fifth Avenue. The tycoon strode onto the stage after sailing down an escalator to the strains of "Rockin' In The Free World" by Canadian singer Neil Young after being introduced by daughter Ivanka. His announcement follows years of speculation that the man known to millions as the bouffant-haired host of American reality TV game show "The Apprentice" would one day enter politics. Trump identifies himself as a Republican, and has supported Republican candidates in the past. But in his announcement speech he did not explicitly say if he was running for the party's nomination or as an independent.AFP PHOTO/ KENA BETANCUR (Photo credit should read KENA BETANCUR/AFP/Getty Images)

Donald “I’m great, I’m fabulous” Trump was pelted with tomatoes in Iowa during one of his gatherings at the University of Iowa on Wednesday. Trump, in the middle of one of his poll-praising, policy-lacking events quickly realized that some of the people in the crowd were on to his nonsense.

Watch, as protesters introduced the edible berry-like fruit to the Republican presidential candidate.

Number 1 Reason to Vote for Sanders – Bill O’Reilly Will Leave if Bernie Gets Elected

I mean, can you ask for anything better? Bill O’Reilly of Fox News, one of the leading propagandizing talking-heads on Fox, is promising… no, threatening to leave the country, to flee to Ireland if Bernie Sanders gets elected to the White House.

“You know, look, I’m fleeing,” he told Fox News White House Correspondent Ed Henry. “If Bernie Sanders gets elected president, I’m fleeing. I’m going to Ireland. And they already know it.” Buddy, don’t let the door hit you …

His reasoning is predictably selfish. “I shouldn’t say it publicly because that will get Sanders more votes,” he explained. “But I’m not going to pay 90 percent of my income to that guy. I’m sorry. I’m not doing it.”

For what it’s worth, Sanders doesn’t support a 90% tax rate — though he has said that it would be above 50%. But sure, let’s just say it’s 90% if that can convince the bloated gas bag to leave the U.S. once and for all.

Panderer-in-Chief – Ted Cruz Continues to Pander for the Evangelical Vote – Video

Donald Trump secured the endorsement of Pastor Jerry Falwell Jr. I don’t know why because as far as I know, the pastor should be teaching and preaching about love and compassion, and not the hate mongering shown by Trump and his campaign.

That said, Ted Cruz, a man who can be considered the best panderer in Washington, panders even more for the evangelical vote by going all out Christian.

“I fear for America,” he said. “If we keep on this path there comes a point of no return and my prayer is that this awakening continues, that the body of Christ rise up to pull us back from the abyss.”

After mentioning how campaigning has been “humbling,” Cruz said that “we are going to, together with God’s blessing and grace, pull America back from the abyss and it is this election that makes the difference.” He then urged people who oppose gay marriage and abortion rights to back him in the Iowa caucuses.

Pastor Jerry Falwell Endorses Donald Trump for President

He has the title of “Pastor,” but apparently not everything Jerry Falwell Jr. does or endorse is commissioned by God.

Falwell just announced his support for Donald Trump in the Republican race for president. God cannot be happy with this decision.

President Obama Explains Why He Wouldn’t Want a Third Term Even if He Could

Seems the Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when the put a limit on the amount of time a president can preside. According to the current occupant of the White House, after 8 years in the Oval Office, it’s usually time for some “fresh legs.”

In an interview with CBS, the President explained that even if it was allowed to run for a third term, he wouldn’t. Because,“Number one, Michelle wouldn’t let me.”

The President continued.

“This is a process in which the office should be continually renewed by new energy and new ideas and new insights,” Obama said. “And although I think I am as good of a president as I have ever been right now, I also think that there comes a point where you don’t have fresh legs.”

Obama also said there “absolutely” are days when he wonders why he ever ran for the presidency, saying there are times when he gets “tired” and “frustrated.”

“And yet, there has not been a day that I have not walked into the Oval Office and understood that at no point in my life will I ever have the chance to do as much good and make as much of a difference in the lives of people as I do right now,” Obama said.

Donald Trump’s Campaign calls Obama “half-breed” “Head Negro” in charge – Video

More racist talk from the Donald Trump campaign that is sure to raise Trump’s poll numbers among the Republican voters.

The top spokesperson for Donald Trump’s campaign along with Donald Trump himself, have made it their number one mission to haul personal insults at the president. Coming from the opposition party you’ll expect a healthy debate about the best policies for the country. But the Republican Party and its top presidential candidate have no policies, so personal attacks are their only option.

In an interview with CNN, Trump’s spokesperson, Katrina Pierson, already known for calling Obama the “head negro” in charge, took that line of reasoning a step further and referred to the president of the United States as, “half-breed.” Given a chance to walk back that line of personal attack that has absolutely nothing to do with politics, Pierson doubled down of course.

“Would you like to retract that?” the CNN host asked.

“No, not at all,” she replied. “These tweets — I’m an activist and I am a half-breed. I’m always getting called a half-breed. And on Twitter when you’re fighting with liberals and even establishment, you go back at them in the same silliness they are giving you.”

“So, I myself am a half-breed,” Pierson added. “We have entered silly season. Donald Trump is up in the polls. There’s desperate campaigns out there, they can’t take him down so they try to take down the people that are around him. And we’re just not going to get distracted by all that nonsense.”

A future job at Fox News awaits.

Donald Trump Calls His Supporters Stupid and They’re too Stupid to See It

It’s been one thing after another. Every time you turn around, Donald Trump is saying something else that is sure to capture the short attention span of what we call… the media. And instead of talking about policies, we are left to debate another dumb remark by Donald Trump.

But his latest dumb remark is not like the many others Trump has made. His latest remark is about his supporters and how blinded they are by their own stupidity. Donald Trump, the current leader in the Republican race for president, opened his mouth and basically said that his supporters are so stupid, no matter what he says or does, his followers will still follow.

“My people are so smart, and you know what else they say about my people, the polls? They say I have the most loyal people.

“Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s like incredible.”

It’s not incredible Donald, it’s stupidity. People who would still support someone who “stand in the middle of Fifth Ave and shoot somebody” are incapable of understanding, or unwilling to accept basic human decency. Those people can be called ignorant, they can also be called stupid.

Racists Girls Posed for Yearbook Picture Wearing “NI**ER” T-Shirts – Video

The girls who happily chose to come together and spell out the racial slur, “NI**ER” on their shirts were part of a larger group of girls. Put together, the larger group – each with a letter on their black t-shirt – spelt “BEST*YOU’VE*EVER*SEEN*CLASS*OF*2016.”

The six girls, belonging to the Desert Vista High School in Phoenix Arizona, apparently thought doing this extra photo-shoot would be hilarious. It was taken on Friday for the group’s “Senior Picture Day,” and then posted on social media where it immediately, went viral.

Dr. Christine Barela, the principal at Desert Vista, sent the following letter to parents:

We want to let you know we share your outrage and disappointment over the actions of a handful of our students today. We want to make it crystal clear those actions are unacceptable and will not be tolerated at Desert Vista. Those actions do not represent who we are as a campus. We can assure you we will discipline these students in accordance with district policy and our student handbook. While we don’t discuss individual discipline, we can tell you that in addition, the obvious need for sensitivity training will be addressed.

Students, though, say that thanks to Twitter, they discovered that the girls who took part in the racist photo shoot only received a five-day suspension, and they don’t think the punishment fits the crime.

Donald Trump – Blacks will “like me better than they like Obama” – Video

Howard Kurtz of Fox News interviewed Donald Trump on Sunday and was shocked by a statement Trump made, that statement being, that blacks “are going to like me better than they like Obama.”

Kurtz called that statement “audacious.” That it is, to say the least.

In an interview airing Sunday on Fox’s “Media Buzz,” Trump told me there is already great affection for him in the black community.

“Look, the African Americans love me because they know I am going to bring back jobs,” he told me at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.

Okay, a pretty standard Trumpian boast. But then he said this:

“They are going to like me better than they like Obama. The truth is Obama has done nothing for them.”

The statement was so audacious that it took me a split-second to react.

“Did you just say,” I interrupted, “African-Americans are going to like you better than the first African-American president.”

The billionaire didn’t back off.

“I think that relatively speaking – I mean he does have a slight advantage in all fairness- but I think relatively speaking when I am finished I think they will absolutely love Donald Trump,” he said.

Tina Fey Makes Her Cock-a-Hoop Return on SNL as Sarah Palin – Video

Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live last weekend because, well, no one else does Sarah Palin like she does. And as expected, Tina’s mannerism and speech patterns were spot on. But I was a little disappointed, because Tina’s speech itself was more understandable and made a lot more sense than the real deal, Sarah Palin.

If you are going to impersonate Palin, then what you say cannot make any sense, whatsoever. Like Fey said, “We’ve seen our own children targeted by the police for no reason other than they committed some crimes.” A clear reference to Palin’s son, Track, who was arrested for domestic abuse. “We turn on the news every morning and are shocked to see we’re not even on it, because we’ve been replaced by immigrants like Geraldo Rivera.”

And this. “They say Trump and his trumpeters are right-wingin’, bitter-clingin’, proud of clingers of our guns. But he can kick ISIS ass, because he commands fire.”

Wait a second. That sounds almost exactly like what the real deal Sarah Palin said this week when she endorsed Trump. In that case, forget what I said above. Tina Fay’s impression, as always, was on the money!
