CLEVELAND, Ohio -- WTAM 1100 has fired an anchor who referred to Sen. Kamala Harris as the nation’s “first colored vice presidential candidate” in a news promo Wednesday night.

“We are aware of the reference made on WTAM by Kyle Cornell,” Ray Davis, the station’s program and promotions director said in a statement. “We take this matter very seriously and addressed it immediately. The term used is extremely offensive and does not align with our station’s core values and commitment to the communities we serve. He is no longer with WTAM.”

In a news teaser that aired during the station’s broadcast of the Cleveland Indians game, Cornell said, “The U.S. officially has its first colored vice presidential candidate. More coming up after the game on Newsradio WTAM 1100 Cleveland.” Audio of the clip was posted to social media and went viral.

In an interview with WKYC 3News, Cornell said the comment “wasn’t meant to be malicious or in any sort of way trying to decimate the character of anyone.”

“That was never the goal and for that, again, I am truly sorry,” he said. “For the station of WTAM too, I feel awful for putting them through what they’ve had to go through over the past 24 hours... I just want them to understand it was a rough choice to make and that I accept my punishment.”

“Colored” is an antiquated term that is considered offensive and derogatory because of its association with slavery and racist Jim Crow laws that were designed to keep Black people segregated and disenfranchised from white America. In its stylebook, the Associated Press says the word is permissible “only in names of organizations or in rare quotations when essential.”

Harris, whose mother is from India and whose father is from Jamaica, is the first woman of color on a major party’s presidential ticket.

On Wednesday's episode of Slightly Offens*ve, Elijah Schaffer offers a "daily dose" of madness as he discusses a new member of the Twitch moderation team: a transgender who identifies as a deer and who openly threatened to ban Twitch users with less "diverse" opinions.

"I have power, they can't take it away from me," bragged Steph Loehr, also known as FerociouslySteph. "And honestly there are some people that should be afraid of me, and they are because I represent moderation and diversity and I'm gonna come for harmful people. If you're a really sh**ty person – I'm gonna stand up against you. Period. And Twitch is endorsing me to do that."
"At least mental illness has a name, and that name is apparently Steph Loehr," said Elijah. He played a video of Loehr explaining how she likes to "prance around and eat grass" or having a "deergasm."
"This is the state of free speech online. This is who's censoring you," added Elijah.

Bernies takers and violence

Bernie Sanders staffers endorse violent overthrow of capitalism, use of gulags, and other 'extreme action'

'You first have to feel it out before you get into the crazy stuff'

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has some extreme staffers in the field running his campaign, and the latest release from Project Veritas further demonstrates the radical views that underlie Sanders' candidacy.

Ditch the fake news ==> Click here to get news you can trust sent right to your inbox. It's free!

This time, undercover video from James O'Keefe's organization showed two South Carolina field organizers for the Sanders campaign, Mason Baird and Daniel Taylor, apparently suggesting that eventually violence and force will be needed to enact the type of future that Sanders envisions.
"I've canvassed with someone who's an anarchist, and with someone who's a Marxist-Leninist," Baird said. "So, we attract radical, truly radical people in the campaign … obviously that's not outward-facing."
Like other Sanders staffers, Baird said the American understanding of Soviet gulags is not accurate and that the perception of them has been negatively exaggerated.
Right now, Taylor said, the Sanders campaign needs to keep its more radical leanings under wraps so it can attract people to the cause and ease them in gradually.

"We don't want to scare people off, you first have to feel it out before you get into the crazy stuff," Taylor said. "You know we were talking about more extreme organizations like Antifa, you were talking about, Yellow Vests, all that but we're kinda keeping that on the back burner for now."
What is it, exactly, that needs to be on the back burner? Apparently, the plan for a revolution to end capitalism in America, according to Baird.
When pressed on how the Bernie Sanders movement would convince major companies like Google, YouTube, or Facebook to cede power and wealth and be nationalized, Baird, who repeatedly expressed a hesitancy to participate in violence toward other people, suggested that the escalation would need to involve a show of force and the destruction of property to force opponents to back off their position.
"We would need a federal government and a labor movement that is working together to strip power away from capitalists and preferably directing that violence towards property," Baird said in the video.
"It would, it's gonna take, you know, it's gonna take militancy … like a militant labor movement that's willing to … strike, and if necessary, you know, just destroy property and things like that," Baird said.

Antifa Leftists Riot in London Following Massive Election Loss…

Posted on December 13, 2019 by sundance

Following a major election victory for conservatives in the U.K. the Antifa-left start rioting in the streets again.  Proving once more that socialists do not accept election outcomes.

The vitriolic response from the British socialists resembles an almost identical response following the 2016 election victory of President Trump.  Same groups, same political ideology, same behavior, same violence, rage and expressed anger.

The inability of the progressive left to accept the outcome of an election is identical in both the U.K and the U.S.  Calling Boris Johnson a racist and attempting to delegitimize the election outcome has a ring of familiarity for Americans.

The decades of their united globalist efforts to tear at the very fabric of nationalism is being eliminated. The radical socialists have nothing to lose; the media is sympathetic to their objectives; their desperate need for a collectivist society is visible within their apoplexy.  They are afraid of the individual accountability that comes with freedom, and they’re damn sure displaying it.

Do not look away.

Antifa are rioting in London in response to the election results giving Conservatives a huge electoral win. It’s like what I saw in Portland in November 2016.

Quality of life to take a beating in San Francisco

San Francisco’s Poop Problem Is Worsening

The newly elected San Francisco District Attorney says:

San Francisco's newly elected district attorney has promised not to prosecute public urination and other quality-of-life crimes that have plagued the lucrative Bay Area amid a crippling homelessness crisis affecting urban communities across California.

In response to an American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire reported by The San Francisco Chronicle last month, Chesa Boudin said such crimes should not be prosecuted.

"We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes," he said. "Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted. Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted; we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness.”

I wish I'd never been born: the rise of the anti-natalists

Adherents view life not as a gift and a miracle, but a harm and an imposition. And their notion that having children may be a bad idea seems to be gaining mainstream popularity

In February, a 27-year-old Indian man named Raphael Samuel announced plans for an unusual lawsuit. He was going to sue his parents for begetting him. “It was not our decision to be born,” he told the BBC. “Human existence is totally pointless.”

Samuel recently told me over Skype from Mumbai that his is a good life, and he is actually close to his parents. His complaint is more fundamental: he believes it is wrong to bring new people into the world without their consent. He wanted to sue his parents for a symbolic amount of money, such as a single rupee, “to instill that fear among parents in general. Because now parents don’t think before having a child,” he told me. 

Samuel subscribes to a philosophy called anti-natalism. The basic tenet of anti-natalism is simple but, for most of us, profoundly counterintuitive: that life, even under the best of circumstances, is not a gift or a miracle, but rather a harm and an imposition. According to this logic, the question of whether to have a child is not just a personal choice but an ethical one – and the correct answer is always no.
