Video Surfaces Of White Pizza Manager in Pittsburgh Viciously Beating a Black Woman
Video footage surfaced yesterday on Facebook of a black woman being viciously beaten in a Pittsburgh Pizza Milan by a white male manager. The woman is pinned up agains the wall, violently head butted, thrown down where she has her head slammed onto the ground repeatedly. .
-------------------------
The assault was obviously racially motivated. As Damon Young writes:
Of course, some people will look at this video and see that the manager was merely trying to contain a customer who was belligerent and might have been intoxicated and question why this is a race thing. These people are dumb.
But if you are one of these dumb people, imagine for a minute if this was a woman who looked like Tomi Lahren. (Or any other white woman you wish to imagine.) Do you think the manager would have treated her with the same level of ferocity and venom?

Trump Just Retweeted A White Nationalist Who Once Held Up A NASTY Sign About His Wife
Saturday night, Trump went on a virtual spree, at least for his account, of retweeting sympathetic messages. One of those retweets was of a man named Jack Posobiec, a self-aggrandizing Nazi wannabe who has been a Trump supporter since very early on primarily because of the overtly racist tone of the Trump campaign. Trump likely knows, if he actually does follow Posobiecs account and didnt just happen to see the tweet elsewhere, that Jack is a white supremacist. It would be pretty unlikely for Trump to unknowingly follow more than one white supremacist account.
--------------
Thats right Jack is the man behind the plan to smear anti-Trump protesters at one of his rallies by pretending to be one while holding up a sign that said RAPE MELANIA is giant block letters.

UKIP suspends leader's girlfriend for sending racist text messages about Meghan Markle
UKIP has suspended its leader's girlfriend over a series of racist text messages she apparently sent about Prince Harry's fiancee Meghan Markle.
Jo Marney, who is currently in a relationship with UKIP leader Henry Bolton, said Markle would "taint" the Royal Family and had a "tiny brain," in messages published by The Mail On Sunday.
She also described Markel as a "negro" and said that black people were ugly.
Marney has apologised for the remarks but insisted they had been taken out of context. Bolton has so far refused to comment.
Marney sent the messages around three weeks before she entered a relationship with the current UKIP leader, the Mail On Sunday adds.

TRUMPCARE: Kentucky to now require LITERACY TESTS for "certain populations" to receive medical care.
Throughout his 2015 gubernatorial campaign, Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin repeatedly promised that if elected, he'd get rid of both the state's award-winning, beloved Kynect (sorry..."kynect" ACA exchange as well as fully repealing ACA Medicaid expansion in the state.
For various reasons, including his Democratic opponent running a poor campaign and healthy doses of racism and stupidity, 85,000 more voters still chose Bevin anyway, and he did indeed pull the plug on kynect last year. However, he had quite a bit more trouble tackling Medicaid repeal than he apparently counted on, and walked back that promise significantly after taking office, instead pushing a bizarre plan to set up some sort of "rewards point system" for Medicaid expansion enrollees instead.
Until today, that is. Just 24 hours after CMS Administrator Seema Verma announced that it's open season on adding work requirements to Medicaid enrollment eligibility, Kentucky officially implemented just such a measure:
-------------------------------
Theres a literacy provision. If you dont work enough hours and lose coverage, you can get to see a doctor again if you can pass a state literacy course about health or money.
To remain eligible for coverage, non-exempt beneficiaries must complete 80 hours per month of community engagement activities, such as employment, education, job skills training, and community service. Beneficiaries will have their eligibility suspended for failure to demonstrate compliance with the community engagement requirement and will be able to reactivate their eligibility on the first day of the month after they complete 80 hours of community engagement in a 30-day period or a state-approved health literacy or financial literacy course. Beneficiaries who are in an eligibility suspension for failure to meet the requirement on their redetermination date will have their enrollment terminated and will be required to submit a new application. Kentucky will provide good cause exemptions in certain circumstances for beneficiaries who cannot meet requirements.
