Dennis Van Time/Future Image/WENN/IanWilson/WENN Trump Attacks Oprah Over “60 Minutes” Segment The crazy Cheetoh in the White House has had another Twitter temper tantrum , this time directed at Oprah Winfrey. Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes. The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 19, 2018 ‘Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes,’ Trump tweeted late Sunday. ‘The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!’ The man is nuts. It’s pretty hard to make a case for Oprah being biased as the “60 Minutes” panel featured seven Michigan voters who voted in favor of Trump and another seven who voted against him. And if Trump WAS watching he’d know Oprah said she wouldn’t be running because she addressed that as well. Watch her discuss below: Do you think he’ll ever stop tweeting erratically?

Son Of Boxing Great Muhammad Ali Detained By Immigration Over Muslim Name This is some real bullisht here. If you’re not already disgusted by Trump’s #MuslimBan this should definitely help you put things into perspective. Earlier this month, on Febrauary 7, Muhammad Ali Jr., the son of boxing great Muhammad Ali, and is mother Khalilah Camacho-Ali who was the boxer’s second wife were returning to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after visiting Jamaica for a Black History Month speaking engagement in Montego Bay when customs officials pulled them aside because of their “Arabic-sounding” names. USA Today reports that the officials let Camacho-Ali go after she showed them a photo of herself and her former husband, but family lawyer Chris Mancini says Ali Jr. was held for almost two hours and repeatedly asked questions about his name including: “Where did you get your name from?” and “Are you Muslim?” After Ali Jr. responded that he is a Muslim, he continued to be barraged with questions about his religion and place of birth — stupid because they had his U.S. passport which lists Philadelphia as his birthplace. “The line of questioning is indicative of profiling and designed to produce answers that corroborate what officials want to hear,” Mancini said. Neither Camacho-Ali nor Ali Jr. have ever been subjected to detainment before, despite extensive global travel experience, he said. “To the Ali family, it’s crystal clear that this is directly linked to Mr. Trump’s efforts to ban Muslims from the United States,” Mancini said, referring to President Trump’s executive order signed Jan. 27 that instituted a ban for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries. Mancini said he and the Ali family are contemplating filing a federal lawsuit and are currently trying to find out how many other people have been subjected to the same treatment as Ali Jr. “Imagine walking into an airport and being asked about your religion,” he said. “This is classic customs profiling.” Just INSANE!!! The son of a national hero detained over his NAME! In AMERICA! The place of his birth! The saddest detail Mancini added to the story is how Ali Jr.’s mother desperately ran around the airport while he was detained asking “Where’s my son?” and begging for help but local police were unable to intervene. So upsetting. Can you even imagine? SplashNews
It’s a wrap! Amber Rose And Val Chmerkovskiy Split Amber Rose and her vanilla King are no more. Amb and Val Chmerkovskiy have broken up after just 5 months of dating. The couple who met while Amber was paired with Val’s brother, Maksim Chmerkovskiy on “Dancing With the Stars”, first announced their relationship in December when Amb called the dancer “heart” on Instagram… and were last seen seemingly happily coupled up at a Knicks game. According to E! News Amb felt “great” about their relationship in 2017—but somehow things crumbled. In early January, she gushed over her man, telling her co-host Dr. Chris Donaghue on Play.it’seline, “It’s amazing. It’s so good. It’s been four months now, and it’s awesome. I love his family and everyone’s so great. He’s great.” She continued, “Right now, it’s just absolutely amazing and I’m super, super happy.” Both Amber and Val are remaining mum on their breakup but Val did post the below message about “enlightenment within.” So sad! Did YOU think Amb and Val were going to make it??? Splash News
House Judiciary Committee Member Calls For Inquiry Into Trump Ethics Some real “House of Cards” isht is going down in America right now, but it looks like we may already be making our way towards the impeachment of Trump . Thursday, NY Congressman Rep. Jerrold Nadler filed what is known as a “resolution of inquiry,” on Trump that will essentially force the House Judiciary Committee to take a stance on the President and his potentially shady ties. Nadler said he elected to make the move because the Republican party has failed to look into Trump’s ethical issues: “Donald Trump has refused to step away from his business interests in any meaningful way, his foreign entanglements are likely unconstitutional, he has repeatedly refused to disclose his financial assets, and he is clouded by the specter of Russian intervention in the election and his Administration,” Nadler said in a statement. “Republicans have shown zero willingness to follow through on their duty to conduct oversight, and they must be held accountable if they are truly willing to abdicate this constitutional obligation and must be made to answer to the American people for that failure.” Nadler specifically singled out Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for downplaying Trump’s potentially shady business ties which may hold conflicts of interest with his position. We’ve seen a lot of reports circulating claiming that his filing is the start of an impeachment but that’s not exactly what it is — although the impeachment process could end up being the result of the filing depending on what is revealed in the inquiry. Now that Nadler has filed, the Judiciary Committee has to respond to the resolution of inquiry within 14 Congressional workdays. The committee can report the resolution favorably, reject it or revise it and if it chooses not to act within that time period, Nadler could request the resolution be discharged in order for the House as a whole to vote. Nadler is requesting information related to investigations of Trump, his associates, foreign business interests and conflict of interest laws (remember when his publicist spent so much time during his first press conference talking about emoluments???). If the resolution passes, the Justice Department has to provide the House with any information they may have discovered during criminal or counterintelligence investigations. Since so many people are talking impeachment… According to Countable: Impeachment involves the levying of charges against a government official who has committed “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The indictment comes from the House, and if a majority of lawmakers support impeachment the case advances to the Senate. The Senate then begins a trial with witnesses and cross-examinations, and a two-thirds majority is required to convict an official. In the event of a conviction, the official is immediately removed from office and could be barred from holding office in the future or face criminal prosecution. It was all fun and games when Trump was calling Hillary a crook, now it’s about time we see who the real crook is. Then he’s gonna be the one hearing the calls to, “Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up!” WENN
Sarah Palin Compares Planned Parenthood To Confederate Flag In Terms Of Damage To Black Lives We were more than a little bit perturbed to see this Sarah Palin Facebook post. What is your reaction to it? Obviously she has an anti-Planned Parenthood agenda — like so many other people. Mind you — Planned Parenthood does a lot more than abortion! Still, where abortion is concerned — y’all already know conservatives would be crying about”welfare” babies had some of those 90,000 pregnancies come to term. So what do you think about the topic?

Republican Congressman Steve Scalise Once Voted Against Bill That Would Apologize For Slavery via Huffington Post House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) voted against a bill that would have apologized for slavery to African-Americans when he was in the Louisiana Legislature, according to a 1996 New Orleans Times-Picayune article first reported on by The Hill. The representative, who has been a target of civil rights groups after it was revealed last month that he spoke at a 2002 white supremacist conference, was one of two House and Governmental Affairs Committee members who voted down the bill. “Why are you asking me to apologize for something I didn’t do and had no part of?” Scalise asked, according to the paper at the time. “I am not going to apologize for what somebody else did.” The bill passed out of committee on a unanimous vote once it was amended to express “regret” instead. Scalise’s office didn’t immediately return a request for comment about the vote. The 1996 measure was noted on Twitter by Lamar White Jr., the blogger who broke the news that Scalise spoke before the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, a group founded by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, in 2002. Scalise has apologized and said he didn’t realize what kind of group he was speaking to at the time. Million Hoodies Movement for Justice, a national racial justice organization, planned a protest for Tuesday outside a Scalise fundraiser on Capitol Hill. And civil rights groups have asked Scalise to meet with them to explain his EURO appearance, though as of Monday, they had not heard back from him. WENN
Paul Ryan: White Nationalists Are To Blame For Lazy Inner City Men How can you even take a guy who poses like this seriously , though???? According to Raw Story : Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Wednesday suggested that men in “inner cities” who refused to work were one of the main causes of poverty in the United States. In an interview with conservative radio host Bill Bennett that was first noticed by Igor Volsky at Think Progress, Ryan reflected on his controversial poverty discussion at last week’s Conservative Political Action Conference. “We call it a poverty trap,” he explained. “There are incentives not to work, and to stay where you are.” Ryan also pointed to the work of Charles Murray, a white nationalist, who has used “racist pseudoscience and misleading statistics to argue that social inequality is caused by the genetic inferiority,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. “That’s this tailspin or spiral that we’re looking at in our communities,” he told Bennett. “Your buddy Charles Murray or Bob Putnam over at Harvard, those guys have written books on this.” “Which is, we have got this tailspin of culture in our inner cities in particular of men not working, and just generations of men not even thinking about working and learning the value and culture of work,” Ryan opined. “So, there’s a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with.” Discuss… TIME
