Sarah Palin Blames Obama for her Son’s Domestic Abuse Arrest

On Tuesday, Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump for president. But just hours before her endorsement, her son Track, was arrested on a domestic abuse charge.

And just like the responsible Republican that she is, Sarah Palin did what any other Republican would do – pass the buck and blame… wait for it… President Obama for her son’s domestic abuse arrest.

“My son, like so many others, they come back a bit different,” Palin said, when talking about Track’s arrest. “They come back hardened. They come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airman and every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country, and that starts from the top.”

She continued:

“That comes from our own president, where they have to look at him and wonder, ‘Do you know what we go through? Do you know what we’re trying to do to secure America?'”

“So when my own son is going through what he goes through coming back, I can certainly relate with other families who kind of feel these ramifications of some PTSD and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with. And it makes me realize, more than ever, it is now or never, for the sake of America’s finest, that we have that commander-in-chief who will respect them and honor them.”

So you see Obama, it’s you! It’s all you!

Cleveland Cavs Sorry for “Joking” about Domestic Violence – Video

Really? A video that can be interpreted as domestic violence? Who in their right mind thought this would have been funny and that showing it at a basket ball playoff game would be ideal?

During a timeout at their game against the Chicago Bulls, the one-minute video spoofs a health care commercial where a couple recreates the final dance scene from the movie “Dirty Dancing.”

In the Cavs’ parody, a man, dressed in a Cleveland Cavaliers T-shirt, is seen suggestively dancing around the kitchen with his partner, a woman. As he completes the “lift,” he realizes she’s wearing a red Chicago Bulls T-shirt, prompting him to throw her down on the ground.

Ben Carson On Ray Rice – “Let’s not all jump on the bandwagon of demonizing this guy”

Ben Carson is a Republican and has been mentioned as a potential Republican candidate for President in 2016. Make no mistake, Ben Carson will never get the Republican’s nomination for president in 2016 or any year after, because Republicans are simply not ready for Carson’s real shade of gray… you know what I mean?

But following what happened today when TMZ released the full video of Rey Rice’s knockout punch on his then fiancée, Ben Carson jumped to the microphone to make his feelings known, and he doesn’t want anyone “demonizing” Rice for his knockout punch!

When asked if he agreed with the Baltimore Ravens and NFL’s decision to release Rice from his contract and suspend him indefinitely, Carson answered, “I’m hopeful they will get some help for him. I mean, obviously anyone who would do something like that needs some help.”

He continued;

“And let’s not all jump on the bandwagon of demonizing this guy. He obviously has some real problems, and his wife obviously knows that, because she subsequently married him. So they both need some help. So rather than just jumping on a punitive bandwagon, let’s just see if we can get some help for these people.”

Texas Bar – “I Like My Beer Like I Like My Violence: Domestic”

Ah Texas. You never cease to amaze.

In what’s becoming an unfortunate, infuriating tradition in the Lone Star State, another bar has scrawled the same offensive play on words for everyone to see. With chalk and a big pink heart.

Scruffy Duffies in Plano, Texas had the brilliant idea of writing “I like my beer like I like my violence: domestic” on a sign behind their bar, which rightfully alarmed Courtney Williams, who quickly took to Facebook to call Scruffy Duffies out. “I’m not going to be in a bar like this that’s willing to make these kinds of jokes,” she wrote.

As it would happen, Scruffy Duffies caught a social media shitstorm for the sign, and the Dallas Morning-News reports that the bar’s general manager has since been fired. The bar’s apology on Facebook reveals that a female employee wrote the sign:

It has come to our attention that one of our female employees wrote something offensive without owner’s approval. Domestic violence is something our family unfortunately has overcome in the past, therefore this subject is one we don’t take lightly. We are currently investigating the situation and proper actions will be taken immediately. We thank you for your patience and again want to ensure this is not our stance.

Even worse, this isn’t even the first time the exact same bad joke has been deployed: A bar in Austin chalked the phrase themselves last year. They quickly did an about-face, fired the offending employee, and offered to donate a dollar to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence for every domestic beer sold. Stop making this “joke.”

President Obama’s Brother Talks Domestic Violence Endured By Their Father

 

Mark Obama Ndesandjo

President Obama’s half-brother Mark Obama Ndesandjo is a skillful pianist, author and businessman. Educated at Brown, Stanford and Emory Universities, he uses his skills to create art, pen memoirs, and teach the arts to orphans in Shenzhen, People’s Republic of China. After living there for 12 years, Ndesandjo says living in China helped find himself, whereas growing up in Kenya  taught him survival skills and America overwhelmed him as he attempted to navigate the academic and dating scene. His recent memoir, Cultures My Odyssey of Self-Discovery, which was originally published in Kenya and Shenzhen in 2009,will be published worldwide in 2014. And on the heels of that release, we spoke with Ndesandjo about the book’s intimate details of the domestic violence he and his mother endured from Barack Obama, Sr. — the father he shares with President Obama.

Democratic State Senator Stabbed Multiple Times – in Critical Condition

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Creigh Deeds, a veteran state senator and unsuccessful candidate for governor of Virginia in 2009, was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds Tuesday in an incident at his southern Virginia home that left his 24-year-old son dead, state police said.

Deeds, 55, was listed in critical condition at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports. 

The popular Democratic legislator suffered serious stab wounds to his head and upper torso, Corinne Geller, spokesperson for the Virginia State Police told reporters.

She said troopers responded to an early morning 911 call to Deeds’ residence in Millsboro where they found Deeds’ son, Gus, alive but suffering gunshot wounds. He died at the scene, Geller said.

Geller said troopers were still investigating the circumstances of the incident but were not searching for any assailants.

WSLS-TV quoted police investigators at the scene as saying Deeds had left the property on foot after being stabbed and walked to a nearby highway where he was picked up by a family member.

Deeds had four children with his first wife, whom he divorced in 2010. He remarried in 2012.

George Zimmerman Gets Away Again

George Zimmerman won’t face criminal charges in connection with a dispute last month with his estranged wife and a dispute over some items missing from his in-laws’ home.

Officer Zach Hudson said Wednesday that investigators had concluded the domestic dispute didn’t rise to criminal charges.

Shellie Zimmerman told police that her husband had made threatening remarks toward her about having a gun about a week after she filed for divorce.

She also said her estranged husband had punched her father in the nose and smashed her iPad in the Sept. 9 incident at a Lake Mary, Florida, home owned by Shellie Zimmerman’s parents.

Her parents had later accused George Zimmerman of taking a flat-screen television worth $2,800, leather theater seats worth $3,000, a king-sized bed and some other items from the home he and Shellie Zimmerman had rented while he stood trial for second-degree murder and manslaughter.

Investigators did not file charges in that case, either.
