Octomom: My Family Is Too Damn Big For Instagram!

Natalie Suleman is the mother to 14 children. As you can imagine, she has even more trouble than most families when it comes to getting everyone together for a group photo. The results, however, can be pretty darn funny. Take a look at the photo of  her minimalist family , and read the (former) Octomom’s explanation for the chaos. Sharing the photo that you’re about to see to Instagram, Natalie Suleman — who no longer uses the names Nadya or Octomom — offers an explanation. “So THIS is what happened when we attempted to take a fun family photo with as many family members as possible,” she writes. In the picture, she is seated with only 11 of her 14 children. “Per usual, Elijah, Amerah, and JJ are absent from the pic,” Suleman explains. She adds: “(growing up I despised taking photos so I understand and don’t force them).” There is a lot of chaotic energy in this photo. With some different arrangements and more dramatic lighting, you’d get a Baroque painting. “Aidan had enough of sitting and threw his head back,” she explains. The result, as you can see, is that his head flew back dramatically, “nearly hitting mine.” “So,” she writes. “This may explain why I look, ummm … startled.” She’s clearly not the only one. Hey, children don’t generally want to sit still for ages. This problem magifies exponentially when you add more children. She also shared this smaller but much less chaotic photo recently. This was from when she sent her octuplets back to school. Like countless other parents, celebrity and otherwise, she snapped and shared a back-to-school photo on social media. Unlike the vast majority of those other parents … she had a lot of children in the photo. But she fit them all into the frame anyway. She’s had a lot of practice, just as she did in this image when she was feeding them all vegan tacos. Even in this image, you can tell that they had to go out of their way to fit into the frame. It’s so reassuring to hear that Suleman gives her children the freedom to opt out of family photos if they want to. (If anyone else has ever been forced to wear a  turtleneck  for an  hour  at the age of four for a family photoshoot, and still feels indignation at that memory, you can appreciate her parenting choice) It’s also neat to see that most of her children are more than happy to pose for the photos. And when it’s only the eight of them, things tend to turn out pretty well. At least, they do in the photos that she chooses to upload. We’re sure that she has plenty of outtakes that fans and followers don’t normally get to see. You know what? It’s been years since  Suleman stopped being Octomom , and we have to say that she seems to be doing well. We’re so sorry that she got so much negative feedback over supporting her family by stripping. There is nothing wrong with sex work, and she should never have been shamed for it. Sometimes, when people become famous, they just can’t handle it. Suleman is an example of that, but she seems to have adjusted to things. Her focus is on her fourteen children. That’s right where it should be. View Slideshow: 33 Nadya Suleman Pics You Don’t Even Want to See

Ron DeSantis Distances Himself From Racist Donor But Silent On Returning The Funds

View original post here:

U .S. Rep. Ron DeSantis , the GOP’s Florida governor nominee, denied connections to a racist once again. DeSantis distanced himself from a donor who called President Barack Obama the N-word, but the candidate will likely keep the campaign funds. NewsOne did not receive an immediate response Thursday from DeSantis’ campaign on whether the more than $20,000 from Steven A. Alembik was given back. See Also: Don’t ‘Monkey This Up’: Andrew Gillum’s Trump-Backed Opponent Shows His Racism To Florida Voters Alembik, a 67-year-old self-employed data and email services provider, tweeted on Wednesday that the former president is a “F—KING MUSLIM N—ER,” Politico reported. He wrote the slur in response to a Republican National Committee tweet disparaging Obama for criticizing the GOP. “We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: we adamantly denounce this sort of disgusting rhetoric,” DeSantis campaign spokesman Stephen Lawson said in a written statement, according to Politico. But it’s unclear whether the campaign continued to hold on to Alembik’s contributions to DeSantis, which totaled $22,920 over the years. There seems to be no end to the long list of white supremacists associated with Rep. Ron DeSantis. Here's our updated timeline… https://t.co/0u8HGrfJMZ #AndrewGillum pic.twitter.com/Llr0TrTn4D — NewsOne (@newsone) September 20, 2018 It didn’t take long for the Trump-backed nominee to fire off a racist attack against Andrew Gillum , Florida’s first Black nominee for governor. DeSantis warned Florida voters in a TV interview not to “monkey this up” by electing Gillum. DeSantis’ racist comment came less than 24 hours after the two candidates won their party’s nomination in the Aug. 28 Florida primary election. The Republican nominee denied that his remark was racist but that’s hard to believe given his long history of associating with white supremacists. After blowing his racist dog whistle in the televised interview, new details emerged about deep links between white nationalists and the congressman. He spoke four times at Freedom Center conferences organized by right-wing conservative David Horowitz , who has said Black people owe their freedom to whites who are the target of the nation’s “only serious race war,” according to the Washington Post .

Patriotism: Veterans Clap Back At #NikeBoycott In Support Of Colin Kaepernick Campaign

More here:

Source: Drew Angerer / Getty Crazed Star Spangled Banner disciples will go out their way to say how much they hate Colin Kaepernick . If he puts his name on something, the American flag waving, MAGA hat wearing citizens are ready to burn it down. Just recall the moment Kaep started protesting police brutality by taking a knee during the national anthem. MAGA Twitter went OFF by burning their Colin Kaepernick jerseys on camera for all of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to see. Now folks are gathering their charcoal and lighting fluid once again thanks to a move Colin made with Nike. According to ESPN , the major shoe brand named Kaepernick as the face of their “Just Do It” campaign, which is celebrating it’s 30th anniversary as Nike’s key slogan. On Monday, Colin shared the news on social media with the message “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.” Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. #JustDoIt pic.twitter.com/SRWkMIDdaO — Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) September 3, 2018 So of course, this had MAGA Twitter PISSED . Rubbers went aflame…. First the @NFL forces me to choose between my favorite sport and my country. I chose country. Then @Nike forces me to choose between my favorite shoes and my country. Since when did the American Flag and the National Anthem become offensive? pic.twitter.com/4CVQdTHUH4 — Sean Clancy (@sclancy79) September 3, 2018 . @Nike Due to your support of C.K. in your coming adds, I as an American can no longer support your company. #boycottNike #IStandForOurFlag pic.twitter.com/5JxSMD8SSO — AlterAtYeshiva (@alteratyeshiva) September 4, 2018 And #NikeBoycott started trending on Twitter. Some folks even got creative with their demolition… U MESSED UP @NIKE #JustDoIt pic.twitter.com/OpEBFf6qwX — Kno (@Kno) September 4, 2018 In true American fashion I just DRONE STRIKED my Nike shoes! #MAGA pic.twitter.com/0S9C6lgAkE — jordan (@JordanUhl) September 4, 2018 While others decided to go the arts and crafts route… Hey #Nike . I don't wear politics or anything related to #ColinKaepernick I no longer buy 5 to 6 pairs per year of Air Monarch Black size 9 anymore either. Just do it? I did. I set my bunions free. #RemovetheSwoosh pic.twitter.com/68UuGMmIaD — Twentyoz (@Twentyoz_) September 3, 2018 One not-so-bright man even went all the way with his shoe burning… BREAKING: Local man turns hollow gesture into a trip to the hospital. Thanks Obama! #NikeBoycott pic.twitter.com/7ErswUPEOQ — Matt Lipton (@mattliptoncomic) September 4, 2018 It was quite the show watching people waste good money. The opposite spectrum of the Internet reacted in the most hilarious way… #NikeBoycott ACCURATE pic.twitter.com/ErYhtujrVb — Horace Towns (@thehoracetowns) September 4, 2018 When a Trump Supporter Footlocker Employee has to Ring Out all of my Nike Kaepernick Gear #NikeBoycott pic.twitter.com/m8gTkNU671 — PIMP C's NEPHEW (@REALsince86) September 4, 2018 The whole 20% of white people (well some of them ) who buy Nikes has me crying with this whole #NikeBoycott thing Nike will be fineeeeeeee, black people give them the most sales anyway pic.twitter.com/Org1rW5IWp — Shelly (@diosa_shelly) September 4, 2018 But aside from the comedy, many veterans once again came to Kaepernick’s defense and pointed out how stupid the so-called #NikeBoycott is. Dear White America, Stop using Vets like me as your excuse for the #NikeBoycott . Stop weaponizing our service for your petty racism. If you really gave two sh*ts about my service, why do you allow me and so many other Veterans to live in poverty? — Talitha Dragonfly (@TalithaDrgnfly) September 4, 2018 As a veteran, first let me say that I served so that you have the freedom to protest Nike. Second, I served so that Kaepernick and others can #TakeAKnee . Third, please consider actually helping a veteran, and donate any of that Nike gear you plan to dispose of in protest. — George Capen #exGOP (@george_capen) September 4, 2018 I’m a Navy veteran that is the child of two marines and we all are #VeteransForKaepernick pic.twitter.com/0Fhzvi9GRp — the Revolution will Not be Televised (@SOimLikeWord) September 3, 2018 Good on @Nike for putting @Kaepernick7 in the spotlight for his sacrifices. Giving up something you love for the well being of others is a lot more American than giving false reverance to a piece of fabric. I am definitely a proud member of #VeteransForKaepernick — John (@jtckck27) September 4, 2018 Instead of burning your Nike gear bcuz u hate Kaep for dissing vets, and now u hate Nike for standing w Kaep, please send it to me and I will hand deliver them to homeless people and vets myself. #JustDolt #Kaepernick #veteransforkaepernick PM me for an address. — Dave (@bbcoach19) September 4, 2018 It seems like any paraphernalia protest that doesn’t involve fire and destruction is too advanced for the MAGA squad. According to The Wall Street Journal , Colin’s deal with Nike is set to pay him a “top of the line” multiyear deal. This might be one way Kaepernick is making money for himself, considering he remains unsigned with an NFL team. The athlete is  suing the NFL for colluding to keep him out of the league. With Colin’s new “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything” motto, Nike is hoping to reach 15 to 17 year olds, according to Nike’s vice president of brand for North America, Gino Fisanotti. He told ESPN , “We believe Colin is one of the most inspirational athletes of this generation, who has leveraged the power of sport to help move the world forward.” Not to mention, let’s not act like Nike doesn’t have a huge Black audience. So even if a mostly White community supports #NikeBoycott or if Nike’s stock has started to drop , there definitely will be a fan-base for Kaep’s “Just Do It” campaign. So for now, MAGA Twitter will have to stay mad.

Martha Hunt think her Nudes are Art cuz She’s an Egotistical Cunt of the Day

Martha Hunt, one of the last and only American models left working at Victoria’s Secret because they don’t just apply their out-sourcing to the panty manufacturing over in China and other third world, unregulated countries, where they can secure inexpensive panties and turn them around for huge profit margins….they also apply it to their models. Plus American women are all fat and smell like hamburgers… She put up some clickbait nude to her feed, as these women do….all women do…not just models trying to keep their numbers up to convert sales for the brand so she stays employed… And she positioned it as “art” or “fine art” which in and of itself is pretty fucking pretentious and egotistical to think a photo of YOURSELF is fucking art…come off it cunt. Could you be that into yourself? That fucking ego, disgusting which makes sense since art as a whole is fucking bullshit. I WONDER IF SHE HAS GOOGLE ALERTS ON HERSELF…. Her caption was: Not only does @russelljames know how to capture the lines and shadows that showcase form, but he gives us the freedom to choose how we present ourselves. As someone whose career is solely based on taking direction, that empowerment is liberating! In this case, I decided to go raw and mask nothing. If that’s not some bullshit, I don’t know what is, oh right I do know what is…the fact that there’s no cunt in this pic…it’s a NO CUNT kind of nude which is what makes it art…fucking disgusting to do this to the people who follow you…. I get it…Self worth is all about the number of likes and followers….and I guess in Hunt’s case getting paid by big brands to differentiate her shameless nudes from being just shameless nudes or some shit… Garbage. Definitely. The post Martha Hunt think her Nudes are Art cuz She’s an Egotistical Cunt of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

‘BlacKkKlansman’ Shows How Past Racism Is Still Thriving In The Present

Visit link:

S pike Lee ’s BlacKkKlansman delivers more than a brilliantly entertaining story. Officially, BlacKkKlansman is about Ron Stallworth ( John David Washington , son of actor Denzel Washington ), the first African-American police detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan with the help of a white proxy. The film is based on actual events discussed in Stallworth’s 2014 memoir, Black Klansman: Race, Hate, and the Undercover Investigation of a Lifetime . The actors humorously and yet believably drive home the film’s strong racial irony. Stallworth’s operation upsets a string of Klan meetings and attacks, including a comically rendered attempt to bomb the female head of the Black student union. Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman ( @BlacKkKlansman ) is in theaters now! Read our #BlacKkKlansman review! https://t.co/QuEEwp5xwf — NewsOne (@newsone) August 10, 2018 Stallworth dupes the “Grand Wizard” of the KKK, David Duke (Topher Grace). Stallworth and Duke have a series of phone conversations about Stallworth’s feigned white nationalist beliefs and the upcoming ceremony marking his initiation into the “Organization.” Drama and hilarity abound when Stallworth is assigned to personally guard Duke at the event and Duke is unable to make any connection between his new initiate and the police officer. What makes this film good is not that it successfully delivers the story it promises, but that it also exposes how our racial past has only changed its bell-bottoms for straight-legs. Or put another way, BlacKkKlansman showcases how past racism still operates in the present. Using the past to illuminate the present Spike Lee offers a parody of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson’s enthusiastic endorsement of the 1915 box office hit, Birth of a Nation . Birth of a Nation , based on a novel by Thomas Dixon, Jr., and unabashedly titled The Clansman, an Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan , is set just after the American Civil War. Both book and movie were used as propaganda to depict the Klan as saving the white race from the newly emancipated Blacks, rendered in the film as crazed rapists and criminals. Lee successfully uses the past, as he has done in movies like Do the Right Thing (1989) , to artistically quash the anticipated criticism that a film by a Black director that portrays white racism is guilty of being anti-white. In contrast, by integrating the facts about Birth of a Nation , Lee explodes this phoney critique and points to the real racial irony: That films depicting white supremacy are likely to be wildly popular, even praised by presidents of their time, while a film that depicts the personal and professional impacts of racism, particularly on Black people, is subject to petty but popular criticism that the film is inherently anti-white. Lee does not tread lightly, but marches into this racial terrain at the end of the movie by explicitly invoking images of U.S. President Donald Trump’s equivocation that some white nationalists are very fine people . Comic relief; deadly serious To artistically execute this heavy history in a film that runs two hours and 15 minutes is no easy feat. But Lee does not disappoint. Lee deftly offers comedy as a necessary relief. For example, Connie Kendrickson, (Ashlie Atkinson), the wife of a Klan member, Felix Kendrickson (Jasper Paakkonen), is an eager-Jane, reminiscent of a classically uncool, geekish, eager-to-please teenager. She dresses up — rather badly — in a two-piece, too loose, bright red pantsuit to pursue her first terrorist act of planting a bomb. She foils the plan and the result is pure humor. Its good to see #JohnDavidWashington restate what he told me when other interviewers mention he's DENZEL's son like his phenomenal mother didn't play the largest role in his life. #BlacKkKlansman pic.twitter.com/5LNZTRvl4C — The Extraordinary Xilla (@BlogXilla) August 8, 2018 On the other hand, Lee interestingly and expertly weaves together the serious mini-dramas in Stallworth’s life. Stallworth must face personal conflicts in his love life when his (completely fictionalized) romantic interest (Laura Harrier) holds anti-cop views. And he must deal with persistent racism when he is formally admonished and told to accept routine anti-Black sentiments expressed at work or face consequences for complaining. Confronting American racism BlacKkKlansman is, of course, not the first time cinema has been used to confront similar themes of Blacks infiltrating the KKK or using covert police tactics. These themes have been variously treated in popular culture since at least the 1960s. The 1966 film, The Black Klansman was directed by Ted V. Mikels and depicts a light-skinned Black man, Jerry Ellsworth (Richard Gilden), whose daughter is murdered by the Klan. Ellsworth passes as white to become a member of the KKK to take revenge on the organization and avenge his daughter’s death. Another iteration was developed in the 1973 cult classic The Spook Who Sat by the Door , directed by Ivan Dixon and based on the 1969 novel of the same name by Sam Greenlee. In this film, Dan Freeman (Lawrence Cook) is an African-American who becomes a top CIA agent after being trained in advanced warfare, spy work and subversion. Freeman soon resigns from the CIA and lives by day as a social worker but by night as the leader of a Black nationalist group called the Freedom Fighters. Freeman leads the group in pro-Black both non-violent and aggressive military acts against corrupt police and anti-civil rights efforts. Then there’s David Chappelle ’s famous skit of Clayton Bigsby on Chappelle’s Show . Because Bigsby is blind, raised in an all-white group home, and no one ever tells him that he’s African-American, he develops deeply racist views and joins the town’s chapter of the KKK. He learns he is Black while lecturing at a white supremacist rally when the crowd requests that he take off his hood. Even then, his views don’t change. When asked why he divorced his wife of almost two decades, he responds that it is because she is a n***** lover. So BlacKkKlansman has to be more than just another cinematic episode depicting how a Black subversive is finally sticking it to “The Man.” This story is about much more than one Black police officer who successfully and brilliantly subverted and breached the Klan to assist efforts of Black liberation. And the film certainly does more than chase laughs by exposing the inanity of racist views. BlacKkKlansman is an insightful foray into the neo-passing genre. The neo-passing genre addresses contemporary injustices and asks audiences to consider and distinguish between “classic and popular narratives of passing” where contemporary versions of passing can be about performing resistance and contesting unjust social circumstances. As a neo-passing story, BlacKkKlansman is ultimately about the current reality that African-Americans specifically, and other racial minorities in general, must continue to endure racism; that they must still argue that saying “Black lives matter” always means all lives matter. That Lee is able to highlight this through an entertaining adaptation of the past makes his latest film one to see and discuss.

Jessica Simpson Massive Tits of the Day

Jessica Simpson may be weathered, she’s old. She may not be as well maintained as our girl Britney Spears, but not all of us can be held captive against our will by our opportunistic family who still want to cash in on this girl, like the priced pony she is, just breeding her in the form of song and dance performances until she can’t fucking walk anymore…keeping her on a strict routine, letting her fuck her trainer, not letting her escape, at least not yet, while seemingly being “ok” with it since she doesn’t know any better…. But her tits are fucking rocking…. I mean if you’re going to be an older, rich as fuck, clothing entrepreneur thanks to your shitty song and dance career, you might as well have huge tits….do your texas BBQ heritage right and be hearty as fuck….and enjoy your freedom while your dad is too busy being a homosexual dancing around dick to dick with young men thanks to his wealth….too busy to trap her in a cage and milk her until there’s no milk….even though these tits are plentiful…like they can feed the fucking land.
