Source: SplashNews / Splash News Kamala Harris Sees Major Bump In Polls After Biden Busing Criticism The Democratic debate last week helped create more distinction between the nearly two dozen names in the 2020 Presidential campaign hat. One of the biggest beneficiaries of that debate is Senator Kamala Harris who got a lot of air-time on cable news networks after she took a bite out of Joe Biden and his record on busing Black students to predominantly white schools. The race to the White House will be tense and likely very close, every little gain in the poll matters. Thoughts on Kamala Harris and her campaign up to this point?

Source: Alex Wong / Getty Y’all Wack A$$ President is at it again. He spent millions of dollars on a 4th Of July parade in Washington, D.C. that included tanks and war planes and all the reminders that America has killed millions of people in its history. Ah, patriotism. The party was to be fully of his most strident MAGA-loving supporters far and wide. The whole charade was also accompanied by one thing Trump can’t lie his way out of: the wrath of Black Jesus. That’s right. The only explanation for the downpour that ruined Cheeto Dusty’s celebration was a good old-fashioned Old Testament smiting. As a result, 45’s insanely stupid party turned into a big old mess. Oh, also he did this: #TrumpParadeFail God don’t like ugly but hates stupid even more pic.twitter.com/a4grrPWxuf — just ramming the ramparts (@bfree2laugh) July 5, 2019 Yup. He talked about seizing airports…in 1776. Unless Area 51 has some REALLY wild s*** going on, we didn’t have airports to seize in 1776. This was all one big cluster freak and the reactions and clowning of that fool are instantly classic. Take a look… Everyone at the #TrumpParadeFail sitting in the rain pic.twitter.com/PhflrZirDM — morgan (@morgancried) July 5, 2019

We’ve reported on the #JusticeForLucca movement since its inception back in April when a viral video of Broward County, Florida cops attacking the 15-year-old circulated the internet. Today, we get the news that we don’t often get when it comes to cops abusing their authority, criminal charges. According to ABCNews , the three officers involved in the brutality, Gregory LaCerra, 51, and Christopher Krickovich, 29, and 49-year-old Ralph Mackey were all charged. LaCerra and Krickovich were indicted for the physical assault as well as falsifying records in the cover-up. Mackey was charged separately with falsifying records and conspiracy. All three men have been suspended WITHOUT pay. Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump is representing Lucca’s family and had this response to the happy news: “Wearing a badge is not a license to hurt children and then lie about it — with these charges, the world can now see clearly that is what happened,” the attorneys told WPLG in statement after the charges were announced. “The fact that the officers were charged with falsifying records and conspiracy to falsify records is rare, and it may represent a new trend in accountability for law enforcement officials.” Now let’s just see if the charges stick before we get too excited…

It’s a brand new day under the sea for the Grammy-nominated singer who will be making her feature film debut alongside Melissa McCarthy in the film, directed by Rob Marshall. “After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance–plus a glorious singing voice–all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role,” Marshall said in a statement. Bailey along with her sister Chloe was discovered by Beyoncé after the duo became popular singing covers and original songs on YouTube. The two are signed to the Houston legend’s Parkwood Entertainment label and both sisters star in the black-ish spinoff, grown-ish which airs on Freeform. The 1989 original Little Mermaid is considered one of the all-time classic Disney films and follows a mermaid princess who dreams of becoming human after she falls in love with a human prince she met on land.
