Mike Pence Takes a Break from Conversion Therapy to Spend 5 Minutes at the Colts Game

Vice President Mike Pence left the Indiana Colts vs San Fransico 49ers game over a ~~national anthem protest~~ anti-police brutality demonstration during the national anthem. He made a statement in a series of tweets that he, "left today's Colt game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag, and our national anthem." Though it has been explained about a million and one times that this has literally nothing to with that he felt it was necessary to remove himself from the stadium. Even if this was a protest against the flag and national anthem I'd still be 100% for it. This is a song that literally speaks on hunting and killing slaves, but by all means...

It didn't take too long for people to pick up on Pence's nefarious plot. Many are calling this a publicity stunt and I say no duh. Keep in mind this was a game against the 49ers, the same team that iced out and effectively blacklisted the man who started this movement, Colin Kaepernick. Nearly half the team and much more across the NFL have been kneeling since the president referred to protestors as SOB's. This publicity stunt was also hella expensive and is estimated to cost about $250,000. That's $250,000 that could have been sent to Puerto Rico's relief efforts because still most of the island is still without power.

There are so many other things we could be doing with our time rather than obsessing over what's happening in the sports world. A bunch of NFL players using their platform AND 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT to protest police brutality and systematic racism and oppression isn't a threat to Americans (unless you are a Neo-Nazi, KKK member, alt-right supporter, and/or white nationalist). You know what's an actual threat to Americans? North Korea, Domestic Terrorism, Guns, Trump's healthcare agenda, and the blatant disregard for a woman's right to choose. AND I'm just talking about the past week.

Gabby Douglas: I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU! WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!

It is with a heavy heart that on this day, November 18th, 2017, I hereby order the official cancellation of Gabby Douglas. Around 5 o’clock on November 17th, Gabby apparently lost her goddamn mind and sent out an ignorant ass tweet in response to her former teammate Aly Raisman’s #MeToo. Aly recently opened up about how she had been sexually assaulted for years by a team doctor. While many praised Aly Raisman for her bravery, her teammate for whatever reason felt the need to throw in her two cents stating via tweet, “it is our responsibility as women to dress modestly and be classy. Dressing in a provocative/sexual way entices the wrong crowd.” I could scream. I’m not going to go in on what she said. In previous blog posts I’ve made it very clear about what it is exactly I think about women, and just people in general, who choose to place blame on victims. I will say however that Gabby’s statement seems to be a default for just too many people. I shouldn’...

Radicalized Alt-Right Terrorist Kills 17 People in the 18th School Shooting of 2018

MAGA Supporter and Alt-Right Domestic Terrorist, Nikolas Cruz, shot and killed 17 people this past Wednesday at a Parkland, Florida high school. The 19-year-old who had been expelled from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for his past violence and disciplinary issues returned to said school with an AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle, and apparently weapon of choice among mass murderers of his kind. The AR-15 was used in almost all of the deadliest mass shootings in the United States, including but not limited to Las Vegas, Aurora, San Bernardino, Orlando/Pulse Nightclub, and Sandy Hook. Investigators believed he pulled the fire alarm in order to draw people out of classrooms before opening fire on students and faculty. Cruz had been kicked out of two private schools and had been held back twice. His social media presence can only be described as really disturbing and super suspect. Cruz was an avid Donald Trump supporter who posted a variety of gun and violence rela...

Kylie Jenner is a Culture Vulture, but I Ain’t Mad At It

First off, there are WAY more important things going on like Net Neutrality, the GOP tax reform, the new, new (new) Muslim Ban, and etc. that you all should go read up on, but since you’re already here let’s talk about my least favorite Kardashian, Kylie Jenner. Kylie Cosmetics is set to debut a brand new line of concealers that feature 30 diverse and inclusive shades. They will be released on December 13th along with her bullet lipsticks that I'm not gonna buy. Any one of my family members, college roommates, or best friends will tell you that I LOVE makeup, so I have to admit when I first saw the picture I was impressed. Kylie Jenner still can’t collect my coins because at the end of the day she’s gotten it wrong so many other times. She is the literal definition of a culture vulture, but so is Drake. As a WOC, I quite simply cannot, but good for her for showing us brown skinned queens some love. Since the Kardashian/Jenner Klan can’t breathe or ...
