F**k 12: Louisiana Cop Says “Vile Idiot” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Should Be Shot On His Facebook Page

Source: Wachira Khurimon / EyeEm / Getty Louisiana Cop Posts Facebook Comment About AOC Getting Shot Amerikkka has always been racist as hell, but we had reached a point where racist and bigots knew it was socially unacceptable to live their truth out loud. However, in Trump’s Amerikkka, these soup cookies have been emboldened to let their hate flag fly. According to NOLA , a Gretna police officer in Louisiana, Charlie Rispoli, posted a Facebook comment calling AOC a “vile idiot” who “needs a round, and I don’t mean the kind she used to serve.” A hate crime-y play on words that references the Congresswoman’s bartending past and a bullet. Here’s what police chief Charlie Lawson had to say about his mans: “I will tell you this: This will not go unchecked,” Lawson said. “I’m not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end. It’s not something we want someone that’s affiliated with our department to make these types of statements. That’s not going to happen.” Lawson said he does not think the comment constitutes an actual threat, but it appears to violate the department’s social media policy, which he said all officers have read and signed. “Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting,” he said. Source: Spencer Platt / Getty Here’s why this matters so much and why Trump’s racist rhetoric is so dangerous to the women of color that he’s targeted. Rispoli was replying to a “satire” FAKE NEWS STORY that quoted AOC saying “We pay soldiers too much”. The Snopes website marked this story “false” but it didn’t stop someone simple like officer Rispoli from believing it and taking action. See how this can go left? Please vote.

Amy Duggar Baby Name: REVEALED!

KABOOM! Weeks ahead of her forecasted delivery date, Amy Duggar has dropped yet another baby bombshell on Duggar Nation. While this popular family breaks one giant piece of pregnancy news after another, Amy and husband Dillon have made it clear they’re just too anxious and excited to keep one juicy tidbit about their impending child a secret. They simply had to come out this weekend and make the reveal. They had to alert all followers to their son’s first and middle name! “Baby K has a name!!!” Amy wrote as a caption yesterday to the following image, adding: Baby Dax we cannot wait to meet you!! You already bring so much joy into our lives!! We love you so much Daxton Ryan! So there you have it: Daxton. But it sounds like the young man will go by the nickname Dax. Amy has entered her third trimester and is clearly trying to make the most out of her pregnancy. She waited all the way until the age of 32 to start her family — which is perfectly “normal” and would not be noteworthy at all if she were a member of any other family. As a native Duggar, however, she might as well be 92, you know? She’s downright ancient when compared to the ages at which other loved ones have first gotten pregnant. Amy and Dillon got married in Arkansas in of 2015 and announced they were expecting their this past April, initially sharing the news with People Magazine. This is what they told the publication at the time… “We are completely speechless, overly excited and ready for the next chapter as new parents! I’m over the moon about becoming a momma! I just can’t hardly wait. “I’m over the moon about becoming a momma! I just can’t hardly wait.” Ever since making this announcement, Amy has been sharing one baby bump photo after another online with her supporters. Here, for example, is a snapshot of the star at 19 weeks . But nothing may ever beat the image she also shared this weekend of just herself, her face — and that precious belly! Aside from becoming a mother in the very near future, King is also busy with her Springdale, Arkansas business 3130 Clothing. Earlier this month, she announced her brand was expanding to include home goods. “We are taking 2,000 square feet more and we’re gonna be adding home goods, and all kinds of new clothing, a whole wall devoted to our curvy section, all of our girls,” King shared in a July 1 Instagram video. “We’re gonna have a coffee bar, we’re gonna make this place be amazing!” She then wrote in a caption to this footage: “Completely floored by the love and support we have received!! Our customers are simply the best. “We want this new space to be so inviting for womens groups, fundraising opportunities, fun exclusive shop nights, and to shine a light in NWA!” View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting? Pregnant? Next In Line? [MORE UPDATES!] As you can see above, meanwhile, Amy is just one of several Duggar women expecting a child later this year or early next year. And we’re not kidding, either.

Farrah Abraham: My Haters are Idiots and Liars and Haters! Jenelle Sucks!

Every single time Farrah opens her big ol’ mouth and speaks, it’s just a magical experience, isn’t it? And by “magical,” of course we mean “painfully, unimaginably dumb.” Though, to be fair, the way Farrah is able to twist reality and the English language really could be considered magical. After all, do you know anyone else who who’s capable of mixing up such impressive word salads? Anyway, Farrah is ridiculous, forever and always, and we all know it. But lately, things have been a bit different for her. She’s been out of Teen Mom OG for a good long while now, and since then, she’s kind of been floating in the wind, right? She did a stint on that MTV dating show, she does appearances now and then, and she’s been very active on social media. There have also been a few more adult ventures — remember when she tried to be a sex therapist on her camgirl site ? However, many, many people think she’s been working as a high class escort . The rumor has been floating around for a few years now, but in the past few months, it’s really picked up. The theory is that being a prostitute is how she manages to do so much traveling and to stay in such expensive resorts , and also how she pays for all the work she’s been getting. Like, we know it’s not her keen business sense that’s paying the bills. And let’s not forget that she’s been in legal trouble a few times in the past year. She owes people a whole lot of money. The prostitute theory has been supported by statements from two of Farrah’s former friends, Myla Sinanaj and Phoebe Price, as well as from her own mother. Just last month, someone asked Debra on Instagram how she felt about Farrah working as an escort, and she responded by saying that “God gave each of us free will.” Lots of sites have been reporting on all of this, and lots of people have been discussing it. Enough that when Farrah and Sophia were spotted at LAX and approached by paparazzi, she addressed it. “People always feed the need to drag hard working people down and wreck their families,” Farrah complained. She called those people “idiots and liars and haters.” She also spotted the opportunity to throw an insult at Jenelle Evans, who also accused her of being a prostitute earlier this month. “She definitely has been making poor choices,” Farrah said of Jenelle, apparently linking her to the “idiots and liars and haters” she discussed just before. “I’m just reacting to the facts,” she added. “She lost custody of her kids … that’s not a positive thing to even have on TV.” A feud between Farrah and Jenelle is just pointless, because they’re both awful and we can’t even root for either of them. Instead of focusing on that part, let’s move right ahead to the past where Sophia also spoke with paparazzi, OK? Sophia, totally of her own free will, spoke about her mother, saying “She’s always positive, she always makes me happy when I’m sad.” “And when we go through things like this type of stuff, everything just turns out fine and haters back off.” She also said “Our most mother daughter thing is vacations and travelling, and we really just have a lot of cute moments together.” As for those haters, had a little message for them: “I hope you get karma later in life. Don’t ever do that again because it’s wrong, and we all know that it’s wrong and that should never happen.” View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Threatens to MURDER Reporter Who Called Her a Prostitute! Yep, everything’s totally fine for the Abraham girls. Nothing weird or amiss here.

A Lil’ Positivity: Philly Man Scales A 19-Story Building To Save His Trapped Mother During A Fire [Video]

Source: Donat Sorokin / Getty Philly Man Climbs Building To Save His Mother During A Fire According to ABC Philly , a Philadelphia man has become a local hero after scaling a West Philadelphia apartment building during a fire to save his mother. Jermaine, 35, is  a roofer by trade, so he has some experience with tall buildings. “As kids we used to jump roofs,” he said. “Glad I had the practice.” Last week when the 19-story Westpark Apartments high-rise at 4445 Holden Street started filling with smoke, Jermaine got a call from his sister that their mother, 65-year-old Sheila, who is bed-ridden, couldn’t get out of her 15th floor apartment. So he sprang into action. After being blocked by the police when trying to enter the building, he decided to climb up and save her himself. “All for my mom’s safety, period. I wasn’t worried about mine at all. She can’t get out of the bed or walk around so if there’s a fire she needs help out,” he said. Jermaine actually DID make it all the way to his mom’s balcony and was assured by her that she was doing OK because the fire was contained. Instead of arresting Jermaine when he climbed back down, an officer actually let him go. “He understood the circumstances, he knew – when your adrenaline is pumping, and your mom is up there, you thinking she’s dying – you’d do anything you can,” Jermaine said according to ABC Philly.

View this post on Instagram Just announced in Hall H at #SDCC, Marvel Studios’ BLADE with Mahershala Ali. A post shared by Marvel Entertainment (@marvel) on Jul 20, 2019 at 6:43pm PDT Ali made an appearance at the end of the panel to reveal the news that he will be taking the sword from Wesley Snipes, who previously played the Marvel Comics character in three films from 1998 to 2004 and made the film a cult-classic. Ali has been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe before: as the villainous Cornell Stokes, a.k.a. Cottonmouth, on Netflix’s “Luke Cage” and did a helluva job on HBO’s “True Detective”, so it’s only right that he keeps this hot streak going by reviving a classic and doin it justice.

Race Matters: G-Eazy Owns His White Privilege After Jada Pinkett Smith Calls Out Double Standard In A$AP Rocky’s Swedish Arrest

Source: Roger Kisby/Getty Images for BET/RB/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images / Getty G-Eazy Responds To Jada Pinkett-Smith Tweet About A$AP Rocky Sweden Arrest A$AP Rocky’s Swedish detention is some bulls#!t and each that the passes the call for his release gets louder and louder stateside. Yesterday it struck Jada Pinkett Smith that there is a disparity in Sweden’s treatment of a white rapper like G-Eazy and a Black rapper like Rocky who were both charged with assault… Hold it … G-Eazy got to strike a deal a day and half after possession of drugs and assault charges??? But you’re holding Rocky. We got the message loud and clear Sweden. Trust me … we got it. — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) July 19, 2019 Gerald had drugs too and STILL didn’t get half the punishment that Rocky is currently receiving. For those of you stuck on the comments that Rocky made previously about Black Lives Matter, Jada had a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ for y’all too… We all make mistakes and we can deal with that … in house … once he gets home. #freeASAP pic.twitter.com/TCMAVQR0HE — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) July 19, 2019 While it’s not clear that this is a direct response, it’s pretty clear that G-Eazy was hearing the talk about his case vs. Rocky’s and wanted to make sure that people know where he stands. This is the sad truth…The difference between me and Rocky’s treatment in Sweden brings to mind two concepts that disgustingly go hand in hand: white privilege and systemic racism. Let's call it what it is. He should not be behind bars right now. My heart goes out to @asvpxrocky pic.twitter.com/PHDrKsfiUF — G-Eazy (@G_Eazy) July 20, 2019 At least he’s self-aware. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is on Twitter trying to win brownie points during the same week he told women of color to “go back where you came from” Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly. Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2019 Even people like Justin Bieber can see the jig… I want my friend out.. I appreciate you trying to help him.

Iggy Azalea Has A New Accent Plus Other LOL Moments From Her “Fu** It Up” Video (In Case You Missed)

See the original post here:

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / FayesVision/WENN.com Oh Iggy Azalea … How thou accent changes so greatly. The Australian rapper recently dropped the visuals for her song “Fu** It Up” and it’s filled with more accents than a World Cup tournament. Granted, Iggy is paying homage to a 1990s high school classic Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion . S o her accent in the video’s intro utilizes some sort of Valley girl-Australian mix…clearly a long way from the Southern rap twang of her early days . Then, once Iggy starts chanting “fu** it up, sis” with Kash Doll (“sis?”…okay Iggy), her accent switches to some sort of East Coast, New York-Philly mix? Idk. This woman will have you confused.   Even her hair styles throughout the video are questionable. The colorful wet and wavy look has already been done to great effect by Nicki Minaj. The barbz would gag…and not in a dope “oh she’s fierce” kind of way.   You gotta give it to Iggy though…her production value is top notch. Aside from the questionable accents, appropriated lingo, and last season hair looks, the colorful video is quite entertaining. Plus, the beat is knocking. And I appreciate anyone who acknowledges the greatness of certain white girl comedy classics. Let’s not forget Iggy’s commendable visuals for “Fancy,” which paid homage to 1995’s Clueless.    *Sigh* I guess, Iggy gon’ do what Iggy gon’ do as long as people support her. Fu** it up *ahem*……….sis.

NeNe Leakes Locks Horns With Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams

The Real Housewive of Atlanta fans will recall that season 11 did not exactly end peacefully . There’s been a schism between the girls ever since the Bye Wig party erupted into a huge fight. And after a tense reunion on Wednesday, drama addicts can rejoice in the knowledge that the bad blood will carry over to season 12 as well. The occasion was housewife Marlo Hampton’s “I am Her” hair event.  As is often the case on the  Housewives shows, one of the girls holds a promotional event of some kind, and the other cast members show up to give their support. Or at least that’s how it looks on paper. Usually, the event only exists in service of the drama — an upscale backdrop for the girls to trash talk each other while wearing cocktail dresses. That certainly seems to be the case here, as star NeNe Leakes finally reunited with on-screen nemeses Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams. NeNe has been avoiding some of her castmates ever since her epic freakout at the Bye Wig party. As fans will remember, that altercation became fightentingly heated and culminated with NeNe attacking a camera man, who lost part of a tooth. NeNe still has a grudge against Porsha, who instigated that whole fracas by trying to sneak into NeNe’s very off-limits walk-in closet with Kandi Burruss. Nene was also reportedly enraged to learn that Kenya was brought back for another season, after producers fired her for keeping her marriage a secret. Ironically, Kenya might have been kept off the show if NeNe didn’t hate her so much.  Apparently, the beef the two women was too much for Bravo to pass up. Since rejoining the group, Kenya has been going out of her way to find a story line for herself. To that end, she made sure to stir up some trouble at the “I am Her” event on Wednesday too. An inside source tells  RadarOnline that Kenya attempted to crash the party, bringing her own rival line of hair care products. “Kenya was trying to wage a war with Marlo to cause drama,” the source claims. A tacky move to be sure, but it’s sure to make great TV if the cameras were rolling for this event, and we expect that they were. But despite this perfect receipe for another NeNe vs everyone blowout, sources say NeNe was on her best behavior. “There were no confrontations,” the source told  Radar.  “And [NeNe] even said hello to Kenya.” That’s some true progress for NeNe, who recently refused to be filmed in any scenes featuring Kenya or Porsha. With that said, it’s best to keep in mind that we all say hello to people we dislike on a regular basis. Sometimes you have to play nice or not play at all. At some point NeNe will have to swallow her pride and interract with her enemies, or she’ll miss out on a ton of screen time. But sources say she’s not quite there yet with Porsha. “Porsha is the only RHOA who said she is not interested in rekindling a friendship with NeNe at all,” the insider claims. This was plainly evident at the “I am Her” event, where NeNe froze Porsha out and the two girls didn’t acknowledge each other at all. So at the end of the night, an olive branch was offered, but plenty of bad blood lives on. We can’t wait to see how it all goes down on the next season of  Real Housewives of Atlanta .
