Amanda Bynes Appears in Court, Says Bong Was Just a Vase, Released on Recognizance

Amanda Bynes appeared in court Friday, offered a classic excuse for the antics that got her arrested last night, and was released on her own recognizance. She will be back in court in July. Amanda Bynes in Court What began with a disturbance call ended with Amanda Bynes arrested for marijuana possession, evidence tampering and reckless endangerment late Thursday. The latter two offenses were allegedly committed when she tossed a bong out of her 36th-floor window … though she claims it was “just a vase.” Seriously, she said that. As for the pot charge, that stems from her allegedly blazing up in the lobby of her building, which led a doorman to call the cops. Shortly after 11 a.m. this morning, the former child star showed up in court in a blonde wig, gray sweats and a baggy black sweater, looking blase. That wig was also evident in the viral arrest video taken on the street as she was hauled out of her building, and in Amanda Bynes’ mug shot . Her lawyer, Andrew Friedman, said his client denies throwing a bong out of a window and claims that police illegally followed her into her apartment. Prosecutors pushed to hold her in lieu of bail, but the judge cut her loose. Bynes told the judge to “have a nice day” and jumped into a waiting cab. Amanda Bynes Arrest Video As for the insanity last night, the criminal complaint from the incident says officers responding to the lobby incident found a bong on her kitchen counter. According to the report, the law enforcement official, wearing a “full police uniform,” asked Amanda about the bong and the actress flipped out. It’s not clear whether her door was open or she invited the police in. The officer said, “I observed [Amanda] grab said bong, run to the westbound-facing window, and throw it out the window where numerous pedestrians were walking.” Thirty-six floors down, on 8th Ave. and West 47th Street. Bynes was then arrested for reckless endangerment, drug possession and evidence tampering. Bynes has a history of DUI and other automobile-related cases, not to mention provocative Tweets and almost daily media accounts of unusual behavior.

President Obama Auto-Tune: Let Me Address It!!

After a speech that saw a surprised President Obama heckled by an anti-war, anti-drone, and anti-Gitmo activist, the Internet was the big winner. As Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin interrupted and harassed the POTUS during his speech on Thursday, Obama repeatedly told her: “Let me address it!” She was eventually removed from the room, and Obama went off-script to acknowledge her concerns and even urged people to “cut her some slack.” And that was about it, which means we can move on and laugh at the obligatory auto-tuned musical version of events that someone made online. Enjoy! Obama Sings ‘Let Me Address It’

Really? Right Wing Family Group Says President Obama’s Order To Embrace Homosexuality Led To Rise In Military Sexual Assaults

No Obama isn’t responsible for the rise in military sexual assaults. It’s this type of ignorance that allows for the rise in military assaults. SMH. Right Wing Group Blames Rise In Military Sexual Assaults On Obama According to Raw Story A right-wing “family” group announced to its members on Tuesday that President Barack Obama is responsible for the growing number of sexual assaults in the military, specifically calling out his “policy on homosexuality” and the repeal of the military’s ban on LGBT people serving openly. “President Obama is finally admitting that sexual assault is a serious problem in the military–but what he hasn’t conceded is that his policy on homosexuality helped create it,” Family Research Council Tony Perkins wrote Tuesday, in a mass email noticed by Right Wing Watch. “According to a new Pentagon survey, most of the victims were not female (12,000 incidents), but male (14,000)–highlighting a growing trend of same-sex assault in our ranks. Although the Defense Department says it “recognizes the challenges male survivors face,” one of the biggest problems is their silence in reporting it.” He went on to claim that because Obama “ordered military leaders to embrace homosexuality,” this is the result, and his group supposedly predicted it all along. What Perkins fails to account for are complex ideas like percentages and ratios, specifically the ratio of men to women in the military and the percentage of sexual assaults endured by women versus men. According to The Associated Press, one in five female soldiers reports experiencing sexual assault during their time in the military, versus just one in 100 males. However, a Pentagon survey released earlier in May found that men are less likely to report sexual assault to superior officers than women, although the vast majority of sexual abuse still goes without formal complaints. In the wake of the Pentagon’s report, President Barack Obama vowed to have “no tolerance” for any sexual assault in the military’s ranks. “Sexual assault is an outrage,” he told reporters during a press briefing. “It is a crime. That’s true for society at large, and if it’s happening inside our military, then whoever carries it out is betraying the uniform that they’re wearing.” The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights-era advocacy organization, considers the FRC to be a “hate group” with an anti-gay bent, often prone to making up false and misleading information to slander LGBT people. “Its research fellows and leaders often testify before Congress and appear in the mainstream media,” the SPLC explains. “It also works at the grassroots level, conducting outreach to pastors in an effort to ‘transform the culture.’” The Right Wing has still not learned that America is not buying into their bulls***.

Ring-Wing Site Goes In On Obama’s Morehouse Speech: “Blacks Are Victimized For Being Black In Racist, Sexist, And Homophobic America”

Right Wing Site Criticizes Obama For Morehouse Speech President Obama’s speech at Morehouse College this past Sunday has gained plenty of buzz, but you know it wasn’t going to be long for those shady conservatives to have their way with what was said regarding being Black in America. Peep what “right” thinks about “left” below…. Via Town Hall: America has major problems. Our economy has been stagnating for years on end, and the so-called recovery under way will have to continue at this pace for years simply to get us back to where we started. When it comes to the social ills plaguing America, the prospectus doesn’t look any rosier: increased rates of unwed motherhood, continuation of vast killing of the unborn, and cycles of bad decision-making leading to generations of crushing poverty. That’s because, according to the left, one grand, unifying problem underlies all the other problems: Americans are nasty. Some Americans are poor because other Americans are greedy. Minorities are disproportionately poor because white Americans are racist. Women are trapped in socioeconomic oblivion because male Americans are sexist. America is not a melting pot. America is a hell pit designed to consume its non-white, male, Christian inhabitants. How then can the patriarchal, xenophobic majority be defeated? Only with a coalition of victims. That poison spews from the mouth of the president of the United States. Preaching to the graduating class at Morehouse College last Sunday, President Obama told the black students that they would “have to work twice as hard as anyone else if you want to get by.” This, he said, made blacks in America very much like Hispanics, gays and women, all of whom are victims: “Many of you know what it’s like to be an outsider; to be marginalized; to feel the sting of discrimination. That’s an experience that so many other Americans share. Hispanic Americans know that feeling when someone asks where they come from or tells them to go back. Gay and lesbian Americans feel it when a stranger passes judgment on their parenting skills or the love they share. Muslim Americans feel it when they’re stared at with suspicion because of their faith. Any woman who knows the injustice of earning less pay for doing the same work — she sure feels it.” The true American experience, according to Obama — the shared experience that forges a unified view of our country — is marginalization. And marginalization justifies massive government interventionism to foster e pluribus unum. The liberal agenda goes bust. Obama knows that. And that’s why he must never allow consonance to be reached. It’s why America must remain a nasty, bigoted place: The moment that America becomes the melting pot, liberalism dies. We can go about our business without fear and without need for a huge government to wipe the slate clean for us. And so the left inculcates victimhood. Generation after generation, children are taught that they are the victims of the society that raises them. Some Americans are indeed victims. But the vast majority of Americans — of every subgroup — are not. There is no real coalition of victims. There is merely a coalition of liberals masquerading as victims in need of a savior government. SMH. Discuss… AP Continue reading

Ho Sit Down: Michelle Bachmann Says God Will “Answer Our Prayers” And Repeal Obamacare With A “Miracle”

First Michelle said it was a judgment from God that the September 11th attacks and the Benghazi siege happened and now God will repeal Obamacare? Michelle we need you to seriously stop putting yourself out here like this. You make your party look crazy. Have several seats. Michelle Bachmann Says God Will Repeal Obamacare According to Raw Story Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is telling her constituents that God will “answer our prayers” and create a “miracle before our eyes” to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care reform law. In a Tuesday interview with evangelical radio host James Dobson, Bachmann noted that the House of Representatives had recently voted for the 37th time to repeal the Affordable Care Act and that she was hopeful that the Democratically-controlled Senate would do the same. “I think the President will ultimately be forced to repudiate his own signature piece of legislation because the American people will demand it,” she explained. “And I think before his second term is over, we’re going to see a miracle before our eyes, I believe God is going to answer our prayers and we’ll be freed from the yoke of Obamacare.” “I believe that’s going to happen and we saw step one last week with the repeal of Obamacare in the House. We have two more steps. We serve a mighty God and I believe it can happen.” At a tea party rally last week, Bachmann had falsely warned that Obamacare would allow the Internal Revenue Service to deny health care to patients. “Many people said this issue was dead, many people have said that Obamacare is here to stay,” she told the crowd. “We are here as the people’s representatives, as real people across the United States to say, this issue is now revived! It’s is back on the table!” Obamacare has been passed. Grow up and deal with it.

Quote Of The Day: Michelle Obama Says African-American Students Aren’t Making Education A Priority – “They Just Aspire To Be Ballers And Rappers!”

First Lady ‘Chelly O is talkin that talk! Michelle Obama Speaks On Higher Education For African-American Students First Lady Michelle Obama is giving her two cents on the lack of priority that young African-American students place on higher education. The FLOTUS recently addressed the graduating class of Bowie State University, which is one of many Historically Black Colleges, where she made it a point to stress the importance of going to college and commended the graduating class for beating the statistics. via Think Progress First Lady Michelle Obama decided to trot out some very old talking points in her commencement address to the 2013 graduating class at Bowie State University: “Today, instead of walking miles every day to school, they’re sitting on couches for hours, playing video games, watching TV. Instead of dreaming of being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader, they’re fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper,” Obama continued. “Right now, one in three African American students are dropping out of high school, only one in five African Americans between the ages of 25 and 29 has gotten a college degree.” But priorities should change, she said, because “getting an education is as important if not more important than it was back when this university was founded.” The first lady is known for keeping it 100 when she speaks, and this time was no exception. What do you think about her comments, Bossip fam?

You Can’t Be Serious: Out Of Pocket Fox News Host Asks “Is Malia Obama Going To Go On Birth Control??”

SMH !!!! Fox News Anchor Asks If Malia Obama Will Go On Birth Control Via The Grio reports: In the wake of President Obama’s statement that he would support the selling of Plan B, a birth control product, to girls as young as 15, Fox News host Andrea Tantaros speculated about the sex life of the president’s 14-year-old daughter. “Are they gonna put her on birth control? Because he’s very concerned with contraceptives and pharmaceuticals that are going in the mouths of everybody else’s 15-year-old daughter,” she said, according to Media Matters. Tantaros also lashed out at the Obama administration: “They consider 15-year-olds to be women. They want to tell grown women what to do. They know how grown women feel. They have no idea how women feel. They should stop talking about it, because they have no clue.” This is not the first time that the president’s eldest daughter has become a political punching bag for the right. In just the first year of Obama’s presidency, Malia (then 11 years old) was subjected to crude and hateful insults after sporting a t-shirt with a peace sign on it during a trip to Europe. According to Mediaite, commenters on the right wing site Free Republic referred to her as “a typical street whore” among other epithets. In 2010, during the BP oil spill crisis, Glenn Beck mocked Malia for reportedly inquiring about the clean-up. “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” said Beck, in a voice that was meant to mock Malia. Ask “Daddy” why he “hates black people so much.” Its Fox News – why would anyone really expect decorum, integrity, ethics, and a sense of decency from Fox? True journalism, we ALL KNOW that’s not possible on Fox, not possible EVER!. Continue reading

George W. Bush Library Dedicated, Five Living U.S. Presidents Converge

In a rare event, all five living U.S. Presidents converged today for the official opening of George W. Bush’s presidential library in Dallas, Texas. Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter were cheered by a crowd of former White House officials and world leaders. They were joined on stage by their wives – the nation’s current and former first ladies – for this outdoor ceremony on a sunny Texas morning. The leaders were putting aside the profound ideological differences that have divided them for years for a day of pomp and pleasantries for Bush, 66. As the George W. Bush Presidential Center opens, with it comes an unofficial return to the public eye for a man whose presidency was so polarizing. Presidential politics also hung over the event. Before the ceremony even began, former First Lady Barbara Bush made waves by brushing aside the building Jeb Bush 2016 presidential buzz. “We’ve had enough Bushes,” said Mrs. Bush, the spouse of George H.W. Bush and mother of George W. Bush, in an interview with NBC’s Today . Yet the man of the hour George W. Bush, openly talked up the presidential prospects of his brother in an interview that aired Wednesday on ABC: “He doesn’t need my counsel, because he knows what it is: ‘Run.'” What happens then is a topic for another day. This one was about George W. Bush’s presidency and the interactive exhibits housed to commemorate it. Major events such as 9/11, the financial bailout, the Iraq War and the international focus on HIV and AIDS, are all prominently displayed at the venue. Bush says he is comfortable with the decisions he made while in office and hopes history will be a fair judge. His successor will likely reflect similarly one day. For now, though, in a reminder of his duties as Oval Office inhabitant, President Obama is already off to honor members of the Texas fertilizer plant explosion .

White House Swatted, Told to Declare War on North Korea or Be Blown Up

A hacker group issued an ultimatum to the U.S. government today, demanding America declare war on North Korea or the White House would explode. The hacker group that took responsibility for exposing the private financial information of Michelle Obama and many other celebrities is behind this, too. The hackers have also swatted Diddy, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake, Paris Hilton, Chris Brown, Tom Cruise, Rihanna and others in recent weeks. Contacted authorities through 911, the group threatened to detonate eight bombs around the White House perimeter if President Obama did not comply. He had 24 hours to declare war, they claimed. This was related to the bogus Associated Press’ twitter account saying there were two explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured. He is not. There were no bombs on the premises, though the AP tweet did send the stock market plummeting for a couple of minutes amid the chaos. The White House quickly discredited this as an “errant tweet,” however the hackers are claiming credit for hacking AP’s twitter and posting the message. It appears that this is yet another case of swatting – calling in a phony threat and getting a SWAT team involved – and perhaps the biggest of its kind.
