At this point, it’s nearly impossible to be surprised by anything Donald Trump says or does. He recently shot down claims that he watched two prostitutes urinate on each other because he’s a germophobe , for example. But while many have come to expect the ridiculous, the false and the infuriating from Trump, they remain peeved and perplexed when faced with everything that surrounds Donald Trump. Like how quiet Republican lawmakers were when Trump slammed Civil Rights icon John Lewis? Sure. But let’s focus more for a moment on how Spencer’s Gifts has chosen to profit off the Trump Presidency. A store known for selling novelty items, Spencer’s may finally have gone too far. Because while a coffee mug that reads “Coffee Makes Me [Poop Emoji]” may be humorous, most sane-minded individuals out there find nothing funny about the following shirts currently on the market: “In case anyone still needed a reason to never walk into a @Spencers again, this is proudly being displayed in the front of their PDX store,” wrote Twitter Mary Numair last week. Yes, the store is actually selling a shirt based on Trump’s admission that he often just grabs women by the pussy , an admission he made on tape back in 2005 when speaking to Billy Bush. Most folks interpreted this remark as an example of sexual assault. But Spencer’s sees it as a marketing opportunity. “He’s done it again,” the official description of this piece of attire reads online. “The Donald grabbed America by the pu$$y this election, now you can too with this hilarious political tee! This laugh out loud Spencer’s exclusive shirt is perfect for reminding everyone that Trump’s in charge.” The item is currently sold-out on the Spencer’s website. Trump will take the oath of office on January 20 with the lowest approval rating of any incoming President in modern political history. But the online reaction to these shirts may be even harsher than the reaction of those who don’t want him to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Focusing specifically on the “Grab America by the Pussy” top, one Twitter user summed up our feelings perfectly. “This tee shouldn’t have made it past the pitch room, @Spencers,” he wrote. “Not a matter of being offended; it’s elevating sex assault as patriotism.” “Sexual assault is not patriotism, @Spencers. It’s not a joke or a slogan. For too many, it’s a lived experience of violation & violence,” wrote another irate American. Some are calling for a boycott of Spencer’s in light of these offensive shirts. Do you think this is the right move? Do you think people have a right to be angry over these items? Or is it all in good fun? And where do these shirts rank in the history of crude articles of clothing? It may surprise you (or it may not surprise you at all), but retailers have gotten in trouble numerous times over the years for similarly offensive piece of attire.

Roland Martin invited Richard Spencer on his show to debate his sentiments on white nationalism and white supremacy. Little did Richard know, Roland’s history and knowledge of the subject is far more informed than his hateful and ill-informed ideology. Turn the page for the full TVOne interview.
Over the past few days, Donald Trump has come out with harshly-worded Tweets against the Broadway musical Hamilton and the way in which he's portrayed on Saturday Night Live . But he is yet to say anything about Richard Spencer. On Saturday, November 19, Spencer spoke in front of over 200 attendees inside at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., for the annual conference of the National Policy Institute. This organization describes itself as “dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world.” Along with Steve Bannon , Spencer, meanwhile, is a leader in the “alt-right” movement. He has said his dream is “a new society, an ethno-state that would be a gathering point for all Europeans,” and has called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing.” In the speech below, he leads his followers in a cheer of “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory,” sounding very much like the Nazis who bowed down at the feet of Adolf Hitler. “America was until this past generation a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity,” Spencer said. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.” WATCH THE DISTURBING SPEECH AND REACTION BELOW:
Jacob Hall, the six-year-old boy who was wounded in Wednesday’s elementary school shooting in Greenville, South Carolina, has died. The toddler’s parents confirmed this tragic news to People Magazine, saying via statement: “Our son, Jacob Hall, who was shot at Townville Elementary School on Wednesday, died today surrounded by family at Greenville Health System Children’s Hospital.” Continued the statement: “Jacob came into our lives six years and four months ago and changed it completely. He showed us how to love, laugh and smile even on days we did not want to. “God gave him to us and he was taken away from us by a senseless act.” A kindergarten student, Hall was allegedly shot in the leg by a 14-year-old suspect. The suspect was later captured by authorities and has been charged as a juvenile with one count of murder in the death of his father and three counts of attempted murder. The bullet struck Jacob’s femoral artery, resulting in massive blood loss that lead to cardiopulmonary arrest, his family says. The six-year old had been on life support due to suffering a severe brain injury, along with the amount of blood he lost in the incident. “Jacob was a tremendous fighter but was unable to overcome the catastrophic blood loss and resulting cardiopulmonary arrest caused when the bullet hit his femoral artery,” Dr. Keith Webb with GHS Children’s Hospital told People . “We grieve for the loss of this little boy and pray for his family as they work through this extraordinarily difficult time.” As part of their statement, Jacob’s parents thanked the physicians and nurses of GHS Children’s Hospital “who did everything in their power to try to save Jacob.” They also passed along their appreciation to Preacher Blizzard and the staff of Oakdale Baptist Church, the Townville Rescue Squad, Townville Fire Department, Fire Chief Billy McAdams and all of the first responders. “We know that Jacob has already forgiven this child for what he did to him and his family because that’s the kind of child he was,” the statement read. “Jacob was sent to this earth for this short a period of time to show us that there is such a thing as pure love. Jacob is in heaven with God now and everyone who loves him. “Words cannot express how much we will miss him.” Gerald Gambrell, Jacob’s brother, penned a touching tribute to his sibling on Facebook Saturday. Read the message: “God took his strongest soldier. Jacob will be with us forever and always in our hearts. I love you little brother and I can’t wait till the day we meet again. “Your my hero buddy. I love you so much watch over your family son.” Jacob, another kindergarten student and a teacher named Meghan Hollingsworth were all shot last Wednesday; the latter two victims were released from doctor’s care later that same night. The suspect’s father was found dead near the school in what officials have determined to have been a related incident. Police have said the 14-year-old shooter drove the family truck to the school… crashed into a fence outside the playground… got out of the vehicle… and then started shooting. You may visit this GoFundMe page to help aid Jacob’s family during this incomprehensible time of mourning. We send our thoughts and prayers to the family. We truly cannot imagine what they’re going through.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are trying for a baby. Yes, as much as the world probably thinks they would not make the finest parents, they are actually planning to create an offspring. “I am writing a coffee table wife type of book. It’s more like a fun project, something I enjoy doing and then I’m getting ready to be a mom hopefully next year,” the former reality star, 30, told Faithwire. “So that is going to be my main priority and full-time job.” It is pretty crazy to think of the two of them with a child. If you watched The Hills , you probably know they’re not the most stable couple in Hollywood. Things got so bad that they were fired from the show midway through the final season. There’s no denying that as much as The Hills was dramatic, Speidi were the most iconic characters throughout the whole experience. Lauren Conrad was great, but Speidi caused all of the drama and it made the show way more intriguing. The couple struggled to stay relevant after The Hills went off the air. Spencer was quick to blame Jersey Shore for The Hills coming to an end. He clearly didn’t realize that the show was running on fumes. Heidi also revealed that Spencer was not fond of the idea of being a father. “You know, I had to pray to get my husband to even … agree to have a kid and so this whole journey over the last few years … I have had to do.” Does this not just remind you of the time Heidi tried to get Spencer to have kids on The Hills ? That did not go down well, but it proves that at least one thing from the show was real. Heidi even chatted about how difficult it is to have kids. “You know, it’s not so easy, not everyone can just have kids whenever they want,” Montag told Faithwire. “There is a lot of hardship and prayers and certain things you have to put into that.” She went one step further and revealed how she felt about her public fall from grace. “I grew up in a small town in Colorado and I always dreamt that I would be buying Louboutins and I had a love for Vogue magazine,” she said. “[So] when I actually had an opportunity to buy those things, it was almost like … it was fun and then of course, I just got a little carried away with it.” People do get carried away, but they don’t get Heidi Montag carried away. She famously got 10 plastic surgery procedures in just one day. It got the whole world talking, but Heidi now feels that “life is really short and really temporary and when everything goes, all your money, everything you’ve built your security on, it really makes you face the reality of this life.” “So I’m really thankful I had such a public fall and I spent all my money and everything because it made me remember what I care about and what is important to me and to rebuild,” she concluded. “Because of God, I was able to rebuild and refocus.” Say what you want about Heidi, but she sounds like she’s matured a lot.

Last night on Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 5, tensions were running especially high in the house … and even more so inside the Shocktagon. You don’t even want to KNOW what that entails. Watch Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 5 Online The tandems actually underwent shock therapy to learn to communicate, but did that help or hurt matters on Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 5 ? Depends on how you look at it, we suppose. Is administering electric shocks every time someone gives the wrong answer really a means to training them better? Or just raising tensions higher? If you watch Marriage Boot Camp online , you know that it’s as much about shock value (pun oh so intended) as it is getting the couples to a better place. So we shouldn’t be surprised, but still. Wow. Perhaps the best thing to come out of this episode was Natalie Nunn telling Heidi Montag, “Don’t f–k with me… I’m going to beat your f–king ass.” Not surprisingly, Heidi stopped hiding from her rival and apologized, because if you know anything about Natalie, you know that’s no empty threat. Montag claims she wouldn’t have had Nunn’s man take his shirt off if she’d known Natalie would get upset, which is complete crap, but oh well. They moved on. Now we shall do the same. Marriage Boot Camp Sneak Peek – Aviva’s Leg Thrown! After the boot campers’ performances in Shocktagon, and another drill involving golf carts, their counselors tried to evaluate where things stand. Kiwane is starting to open up. Well done. Spencer Pratt is mocking Heidi at every turn, and is called out by Elizabeth for “deep rooted issues that you avoid by turning everything into a game.” Sounds about right. Rachel and Tyson get lectured for not communicating well, but when you’re on a show with Natalie, Speidi and Aviva Drescher, you could be worse off. Natalie’s lack of respect for her husband is the biggest issue in their relationship, while Aviva and Reid Drescher were the most interesting all night. Reid actually threw Aviva Drescher’s leg (above), a la her infamous Real Housewives of New York City freakout, in the highlight of the evening. After evaluations, Speidi picks up where they left off and begins fighting about the future. “I don’t want a baby, babies cry…” Spencer whines. Takes one to know one.

On Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 4 , jealousy erupted after the celebrity (we use the term loosely) couples were forced to swap partners. As a result of that exercise, some scandalous photos enraged Natalie Nunn … Watch Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 4 Online When Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 4 got underway, Spencer Pratt spent the day with Nataline, and Jacob Payne with Heidi Montag. From the start, it seemed like Heidi, and/or producers trying to get people to watch Marriage Boot Camp online , were just trying to rattle Natalie. Horseback riding with ripped shirts, because obviously, Montag encourage Jacob to just take his off, because what else is there to do anyway?! Heidi Montag knows full well that Natalie Nunns butt selfies on Instagram are a big reason she’s even on Marriage Boot Camp, so she eggs him on. Hard. She even offers to be his photographer for this very sexy exercise. “Take it off Jacob!” The Hills star urges. “She loves Instagram, right?” Jacob, of course, has some issues with Natalie’s booty on display, but meanwhile, Nunn tells Heidi’s husband Spencer about just how jealous she is: “I’m obsessed with Jacob … I warned him, don’t you look at anybody, don’t take your shirt off, don’t cook breakfast for anybody. There’s a little jealously there.” A little? The Bad Girls Club star claims she’s not worried about Heidi, unaware that at that very moment, Montag is doing something that will definitely stir the pot. Which she seems to have some clue might be the case. She says she’s not concerned about Jacob, per se, but her Marriage Boot Camp rival . “I’m just worried about me having to whoop her ass for doing some stupid s–t,” she tells her faux hubby. “Because I’m not the one to be f–king with.” Spencer, meanwhile looks truly terrified for Heidi. Should he be?
