We're laughing at this but where ever mop dude is, he's got one heck of a headache.


Tweet of the year so far: "Last night we captured surveillance footage of a vandal trying to break in to one of the station's employee's vehicles in our parking lot. While the suspect is still at large, we took the liberty to have John Curley give his play-by-play of the incident."


Oooh! Somebody just pissed off the wrong person!

John Kelly On CA Teacher Who Called Military 'Lowest Of Our Low': 'The Guy Ought To Go To Hell'




On Wednesday, asked by Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade what he thought of the California high school teacher Gregory Salcido, who told his students that members of the military were the “lowest of the low,” White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, a U.S. Marine Corps general who served as commander of the U.S. Southern Command, snapped, “I think the guy ought to go to hell. I just hope he enjoys the liberties and the lifestyle that we have fought for.”

Meanwhile, the district has place Salcido on leave, but it's not the first time for this idiot.  According to the Orange County Register, in May 2012, Salcido was put on paid administrative leave after the Sheriff’s Department received a complaint that he struck a student. In July 2010, a parent complained that Salcido had threatened his daughter, made inappropriate comments to his summer school class about race and insulted other students and parents, which Salcido denied.

This guy should be stripped of his citizenship, then escorted to the airport, and flown non stop to some lovely spot in central Africa, like, dunno, the Sudan, or Mali, or Somalia.  He'd quickly see what a fool he is, and the magnitude of what he had lost.



Republicans Elected an African American Senator 16 Years After the Republican Party was Founded. Democrats took 165 Years.

Throw this in the face of the next person that calls Republicans racist.

In 1870, Republican Hiram Revels of Mississippi became the first African American senator. Five years later, Republican Blanche K. Bruce of Mississippi took the oath of office.

Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner said, "The time has passed for argument. Nothing more need be said. For a long time it has been clear that colored persons must be senators."  Sumner, a Republican, later said, “All men are created equal, says the great Declaration, and now a great act attests this verity. Today we make the Declaration a reality…. The Declaration was only half established by Independence. The greatest duty remained behind. In assuring the equal rights of all we complete the work.”

 Senator Revels conduct in the Senate, along with that of the other black Americans who had been seated in the House of Representatives, prompted a white Congressman, James G. Blaine, to write in his memoir, "The colored men who took their seats in both Senate and House were as a rule studious, earnest, ambitious men, whose public conduct would be honorable to any race."
