Eminem DESTROYS Donald Trump, Jokes About Murdering Ivanka on New Album!

Eminem has made it abundantly clear that he’s not a big fan of our current president. (And seriously, how heartbreaking is it that we still have to refer to Donald Trump as “our current president”?) He slammed Trump in a song he released in 2015 , and in another he released in 2015 , but his harshest criticism came in October when he shared a little freestyle at the BET Hip Hop Awards. He touched on the controversy surrounding the professional athletes that have chosen to kneel during the national anthem before games as a form of protest and Trump’s ridiculous reaction to them. “Now, if you’re a black athlete, you’re a spoiled little brat for trying to use your platform or your stature to try to give those a voice who don’t have one,” he rapped. “He gets an enormous reaction when he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada. All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and would rather cause a Twitterstorm with the Packers.” Then, to his massive fan base, he stated “Any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing a line in the sane. You’re either for or against, and if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this.” He then flipped off the camera, making it clear that he’s not interested in sharing fans with Trump. Eminem Utterly Destroys Donald Trump in This Freestyle Rap It was all pretty intense, right? But it looks like he was saving even more vitriol for his new album. Eminem released the album, titled Revival, yesterday, and he dedicated an entire song to Trump. The song is called “Like Home,” and it features vocals by Alicia Keys. He kicked off the very first verse with “Someone get this Aryan a sheet, time to bury him, so tell him to prepare to get impeached. Everybody on your feet.”‘ “This chump barely even sleeps, all he does is watch Fox News like a parrot and repeats while he looks like a canary with a beak.” “Why you think he banned transgenders from the military with a tweet?” he asked. “He’s trying to divide us. The sh-t’s like a cult, but like Johnny he’ll only unite us. ‘Cause nothing inside drives us like this fight does.” He admitted that “our spirits’ crushed” and it’s “hard to deal” with things right now, “but there’s always tomorrow still.” “If we start from the scratch like a scab, get the scars to heal and band together for Charlottesville, and for Heather [Heyer, the woman killed in Charlottesville], fallen heroes.” In the second verse though, he really went in on Trump: Didn’t wanna piss your base off, did ya? / Can’t denounce the Klan, ’cause they play golf with ya You stay on Twitter, way to get your hate off / Nazi, I do not see a way y’all differ And all you got are race cards / Better get the swastika with your name carved in it / Should be your trademark, ’cause hate’s all you played off / And you just lick the plate off So I guess it pays to feed off of chaos / So basically, you’re Adolf Hitler / But you ain’t ruining our country, punk / Or taking our pride from us, you won’t define us ‘Cause like a dictionary, things are looking up / So much, got a sprained beck, know we would rise up against this train wreck and take a stand In the bridge, Alicia Keys sings “I won’t give up on my home, that so many died for, you already know that I won’t give up.” It’s actually pretty emotional. It’s also not the only time he mentions a Trump on the album — on a track called “Frame,” he gets a little less realistic and a lot, lot darker. The song is all about murder and just awful, violent crimes — the point is that just because he says terrible things in his songs doesn’t mean he actually does them. It really is pretty dark. In the second verse, he raps “Woke up, it was dawn, musta knew something was wrong. Think I’m becoming a monster ’cause of the drugs that I’m on. Donald Duck’s on as the Tonka Trunk in the yard.” “But dog, how the f-ck is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car? Gotta get to the bottom of it to try to solve it. Must go above and beyond, ’cause it’s incumbent upon me, ’cause I feel somewhat responsible for the dumb little blonde.” So yes, it seems pretty safe to say that he has a whole, whole lot of anger for this entire family. Do you think Eminem is going too far with these new songs?

Javi Marroquin and Briana DeJesus: We’re a Family Now!

Hey, have you heard the good news?! Javi Marroquin and Briana DeJesus are officially dating! And not only that, but they seem to be comfortable enough with each other that they're working on merging their families into one, even though they've only been dating approximately three seconds! See, over the weekend, Javi threw a birthday party for Lincoln, the son he shares with Kailyn Lowry. He invited Briana DeJesus and her two daughters, and what happened next … well, you really just have to see it to believe it. But first, let's refresh our memories on this very special love story … 1. They Go Way Back! It’s true, they do — even before Briana joined the cast of Teen Mom 2, she and Javi were exchanging flirty tweets. Say what you will about their relationship, but it’s had a long, long buildup. 2. Javi’s Pursuit Though they have known each other for a while, it wasn’t until earlier this fall when Javi really began to go after Briana hard. In September, he even gave an interview to Radar in which he said that he’d “be open to dating Briana” because “she’s a really cool girl. Her whole family is awesome. She’s really beautiful. We text back and forth. We’ll see what happens.” Subtle, Javi. 3. Complicated The thought of the two of them actually getting together seemed a little far-fetched. After all, Javi already married a Teen Mom when he married Kailyn, and Briana just gave birth to another guy’s baby in July. Would forming a Teen Mom super couple really be the right move? 4. YES Apparently so: in October, Javi confirmed that he and Briana were finally officially together! It was still a little weird, because she denied it at first, but it seems she’s cool with being public now. So we’re really doing Javiana, it seems. 5. Spiteful Love As you can imagine, things didn’t go so well after the world found out about Javi and Briana’s love. Many reports claimed that Kailyn believed Javi’s just getting with Briana out of spite, and … yeah, we can see it. During this entire season of Teen Mom 2, Javi’s seemed heartbroken that Kailyn moved on so quickly, so it makes sense that he’d try to get under her skin any way possible. 6. The Thirst is Real A lot of people think Briana isn’t with Javi for love — or not JUST for love, anyway. Some theorize that she’s trying to marry him to get his military benefits, others say that she just wants to settle down with a guy who would actually create a family with her, unlike her first two baby daddies. Others think that she’s just trying to cement her spot on Teen Mom 2 by bringing some high drama. View Slideshow

Bride Recites Vows to 4-Year Old Stepson and He’s Not the Only One Moved to Tears

If you’re someone who often cries at weddings, consider yourself warned: You definitely want to watch the following video. That much is certain. You just want to watch it with a basket full of tissues. Take note. This past Saturday, U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Joshua Newville exchanged vows with Senior Airman Emily Leehan. As beautiful as those vows were, however, they are not the reason this relationship and this story have gone viral. Instead, this tale has garnered our attention because Emily did not just recite a set of vows to her new husband; she also recited a set of vows to his son, a four-year old named Gage. “I want you to be safe, and to try your hardest, and to be a good person,” Leehan says as the toddler stands in front of his father at Quincy Cellars in Ripley, New York. As Leehan keep reading, Gage starts to cry, eventually rushing forward to wrap his arms around his new stepmom’s waist. Emily, in turns, attempts to keep sticking to her beautiful script, but Gage makes doing so just a tad bit challenging. Bride Recites Vows to Husband, Stepson “I know that you and I will butt heads, but—” she says before she’s interrupted by Gage’s precious weeping. “Buddy, it’s okay,” Gage’s dad says, pulling his child in for a hug. However, Gage can’t help it. He continues to cry, burying his face into his father’s Marine uniform. Continues Emily, prior to bending down and giving her stepson a hug and a kiss: “You have helped make me into the woman that I am today, and I may not have given you the gift of life, but life surely gave me the gift of you.” After the ceremony concluded, Newville says that people approached Gage to tell him he did a terrific job at the altar. “We were telling him, ‘You did awesome,’ and our family and friends were saying that and told him he made it even better,” Newville told ABC News. What a beautiful story and family. The couple remains on active military duty, and will not go on a honeymoon; not yet at least. ABC reports that Emily and Joshua will instead return to their home at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey. We send the bride, groom and their son nothing but the best.

Fidel Castro Dies; Cuban Leader Was 90

Fidel Castro, the controversial Cuban revolutionary turned head of state, has passed away at the age of 90. Castro brought Communism to Cuba and led the island nation through a tumultuous five decades, partially retiring from public service and handing the reins to his brother Raul in 2008. Raul’s administration issued an official statement confirming Fidel’s death just moments ago. One of the few Marxist-Leninist leaders of the Western world, Castro was a widely distrusted figure in the US. He remained ideologically at odds with the American government throughout his time in office, first Prime Minister of Cuba (from 1959 to 1976), then as the nation’s president (from 1976 to 2008). Castro remained in power as First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba until 2011. Throughout the majority of Castro’s reign, the United States government enforced a trade embargo with Cuba, a result of both anti-Communist sentiment in the States and lingering wariness over the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Both incidents served as defining events of President John F. Kennedy’s brief time in office and helped to characterize Castro as a dangerous military presence operating just off the coast of Florida in the mind’s of America’s populace. However, the reality of Castro’s reign was very different from the way his regime was portrayed in the American press. Derided as an autocrat who trampled civil rights throughout his reign by some, Castro is still hailed as a hero by many who have lived under his power for the bulk of the past 60 years. He cut a larger-than-life figure with his military fatigues and ubiquitous cigar and for many, his image is inextricably linked with the caricature of authoritarian strongmen. Tensions between Cuba and the US ran so high in the decades after Castro assumed power that was only when the Obama administration began to lift regulations in 2015 that Americans were once again permitted to freely travel to and from Cuba. Several embargo restrictions remain in place, and the future of relations between the two nations remains very much in question. Castro’s legacy will no doubt be debated among historians and political scientists for many years to come. But regardless of one’s feelings on the iconic leader’s politics, he was, and will no doubt remain, one of the recognizable political figures of the 20th Century.

Orioles Star Adam Jones On MLB’s Lack Of Support For Colin Kaepernick: ‘Baseball Is A White Man’s Sport’

Adam Jones Says Baseball Is A White Man’s Sport After Anthem Protest Orioles star Adam Jones recently discussed why certain MLB stars have refused to show support for Colin Kaepernick’s National Anthem protest reports USA Today : It started with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sitting, and later kneeling, during the national anthem during the NFL exhibition season. He was soon joined by teammate Eric Reid. It extended to Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall before Thursday’s NFL season opener. By Sunday, there were four NFL teams with players expressing silent protests, including Martellus Bennett and Devin McCourty of the New England Patriots, who stood with raised fists following the anthem. “We already have two strikes against us already,’’ Baltimore Orioles All-Star center fielder Adam Jones told USA TODAY Sports, “so you might as well not kick yourself out of the game. In football, you can’t kick them out. You need those players. In baseball, they don’t need us. “Baseball is a white man’s sport.’’ Indeed, African Americans comprise 68% of the player population in the NFL, and 74% in the NBA. That number is just 8% in baseball, with only 69 African-Americans on the opening-day rosters and disabled lists this season. Adam says he has no problem with Kap’s protest : “He believes in what he believes in,’’ Jones says of Kaepernick, “and as a man of faith, as an American who has rights, who am I to say he’s wrong? “Kaepernick is not disrespecting the military. He’s not disrespecting people who they’re fighting. What he’s doing is showing that he doesn’t like the social injustice that the flag represents. “Look, I know a lot of people who don’t even know the words to the national anthem. You know how many times I see people stand up for the national anthem and not pay attention. They stand because they’re told to stand. “That’s the problem. Just don’t do something because you’re told to do something. Do it because you understand the meaning behind it and the sacrifice behind it.” Discuss. MLB/Orioles Continue reading

Baller Bolitics: Denver Broncos’ Brandon Marshall Loses Endorsement Over National Anthem Protest

Broncos Linebacker Brandon Marshall Loses Credit Union Endorsement Over Anthem Protest According to a report in SportsIllustrated , Brandon Marshall ‘s Kaepernick-esque protest of the National Anthem will cost him on of his endorsements… Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall has lost his endorsement deal with Air Academy Federal Credit Union after kneeling during the national anthem on Thursday night before a win over the Panthers. The Colorado-based credit union serves active and retired members of the United States military. “Although we have enjoyed Brandon Marshall as our spokesperson over the past five months, Air Academy Federal Credit Union (AAFCU) has ended our partnership,” president and CEP Glenn Strebe said in a statement. “AAFCU is a membership-based organization who has proudly served the military community for over 60 years. While we respect Brandon’s right of expression, his actions are not a representation of our organization and membership. We wish Brandon well on his future endeavors.” After the game Marshall explained to the DenverPost exactly what his kneeling was meant to signify: “I’m not against the military. I’m not against the police or America. I’m just against social injustice,” Marshall said after the game. “I’m proud of it. I don’t regret it. I know this is right.” Marshall said he was moved by the wave of police brutality that occurred this summer, including two killings of black men by police officers and a third mass shooting of police officers within a three-day span across the country. He’s following the path of Kaepernick, 49ers safety Eric Reid and Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane who have all sat or knelt during the national anthem in the preseason seeking change in what he feels are some of the hidden struggles like racial oppression and police brutality. “I feel like this is the right platform. I feel like this is our only platform to be heard,” Marshall said. “A lot of time people want us to just shut up and entertain them. Shut up and play football. But we have voices as well. We’re actually educated individuals that went to college. When we have an opinion and speak it, a lot of people bash us.” Would you like more athletes to speak up even at the risk of sounding like Shaq and Ray Lewis ? Image via DenverPost Continue reading

Watch Angry Iowa Pig Yank On Cuffed Suspect’s Dreads & Hit Him During Arrest [Video]

This footage is crazy! Do you think the police have the right to be yanking on dreadlocks and hitting people after they ran? An angry police officer in Iowa repeatedly yanked on the dreadlocks of a handcuffed Suspect who was arrested after a dangerous high-speed chase. Waterloo Officer Adam Wittmayer, who also hit 24-year-old Montavis Keller twice on the back of the head, was disciplined for his actions after the April 19 incident. “I don’t condone Officer Wittmayer’s conduct whatsoever,” Waterloo Police Chief Daniel Trelka said. Keller’s lawyer Tom Frerichs forwarded the video to the FBI this week and asked for an inquiry. The FBI is aware of the video and is mulling whether to open a case. “I can’t think of any other job in which an employee is allowed to repeatedly hit another person, pull out some of their hair and still keep their job,” Frerichs said. The chase began when another officer spotted Keller flying through traffic. When cops attempted to pull him over, Keller sped away. Other patrol cars joined the chase as the suspect hit speeds up to 90 mph. Wittmayer was able to put down tire-puncturing sticks to disable Keller’s car, which dangerously went around a school bus and then toward the officer, “who had to run to get out of harm’s way,” according to a criminal complaint. Black Hawk County Attorney Brian Williams asked the Iowa attorney general’s office to review Wittmayer’s actions after discovering the footage, according to an email obtained by the AP under the open records law. “I am not prejudging anything, but I do believe it needs an independent review,” Williams wrote to Assistant Attorney General Scott Brown. Brown said he believed no criminal charges were sustainable against Wittmayer in a June 17 letter, saying the officer was “understandably agitated.” Wittmayer could be charged with simple misdemeanor assault, but jurors would learn of all the circumstances involved, according to Brown. “Based upon this fact and my review of the entire matter, the likelihood of a Black Hawk County jury convicting Officer Wittmayer is minimal if not completely non-existent,” Brown wrote. Keller was charged with four felonies, including attempting to assault a police officer, eluding police and possessing 42.5 grams of marijuana with intent to deliver. He did not have a prior criminal record. Frerichs handed the AP the video after the sheriff’s office rejected an open records request for the footage, citing the charges. “I certainly agree that it should ultimately be made available due to transparency and public interest,” Chief Trelka said. “However, this is currently a pending case.” Waterloo has the highest percentage of black residents of any city in Iowa but a mostly white police department. The city has approved settlements with black residents worth nearly $3 million this year.

Colin Kaepernick Sat Out The National Anthem Again While Rocking An Afro And Everyone Celebrated With #KapSoBlack

#KapSoBlack He walked onto the field escorted by the Dora Milaje. pic.twitter.com/JZsbbVBdEF — WhatFreshHellisThis? (@LisaBolekaja) September 2, 2016 Kaepernick Is Still Woke All eyes were on Colin Kaepernick again as he was set to start the final preseason game for the 49ers against the Chargers on a night to salute the military of all nights. Kaep did what was expected: he sat out the National Anthem again. Not only that, he rocked an afro the whole time and led his team to a scoring drive right of the bat. That’s what we call Black excellence. The whole night led to a #KapSoBlack hashtag that was celebratory and awesome. Maybe Rodney Harrison could learn a thing or two…
