Australian Speaker gets drug on Social Media after spending AU$5,000 on 50 mile flight
Bronwyn Bishop, the Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives is under fire for spending AU$5,227 (~$4000) of the taxpayers’ money on an 80-kilometer (50 miles) from Essendon Airport in Melbourne, Victoria to a golf course in nearby Geelong.
Some are noting that the flight was intrinsically unnecessary as Bishop’s flight took approximately 45 minutes but it only takes ~55 minutes to drive from Melbourne to Geelong. She spent ~AU$4,500 to save 10 minutes.
Naturally, Bishop’s colleagues in the Liberal Party are defending her strange choice saying she was following the transport allowance policies. But the people aren’t convinced, former speaker Peter Slipper was fired and investigated after spending $900 on taxis to go to Canberra wineries, which, like Bishop, he offered to pay back but unlike Bishop he wasn’t allowed to.
As this tea came out, many people also found out that Bronwyn spent $90,000 of the taxpayers’ money on a trip to Europe where she was applying for a new job, which sadly (for Australians), she didn’t get.
Some people have noted that a blog post on the Liberal Party’s website which singles out Peter Slipper for ‘misconduct’ has suddenly been deleted. Others have been going in on Bronwyn with many funny memes and macros.

Racial Satire ‘White Squad’ Is Painfully Hilarious But All Too Real
When I woke up this morning got a Facebook message from one of my followers who sent me a link and the headline had me rollin’ on the floor with laughter!(rotfl) with my bottle of ice water in my hand and my smartphone in the other I clicked the link and as I watched this commercial (Satire) I spit my water out my mouth and almost choked while laughing if only this was a real Agency for people of color I’d be on cell or my laptop like the flash! White Squad is fictional (I wish it wasn’t) White privilege is REAL! This satire was created as a part of MTV’s Look Different campaign to illustrate how white privilege works and how it impacts people’s lives.
SIGH it’s only for laughs but with a message that white privilege is REAL and YOU WHITE PEOPLE MUST take your 3D (Defense, Denial; Delusion) glasses off; recognize it then DO something about it with the help from PoC.
From what see from the comments section of the white squad Facebook page SOME white folks just DON’T GET IT! They feel this satire has further divide us as a people, some are sooooo offended I’m thinking why should they be offended when the truth is right there. One dude reported white squads Facebook page writing that it was racist he even gave step by step instructions LOL (I’m laughing AT HIM NOT WITH HIM) How are we going to heal the wounds of racism if we DON’T talk about White privilege and white supremacy and how it affects people of color. Be sure to tune in for white people Wednesday July 22nd @ 8/7c on MTV if you miss it you know they’ll have reruns for months!
Meet the “White Squad” a group of well-meaning white people looking to help out people of color. The squad is introduced in a new, brilliant satire by MTV Decoded… Via: Aaron Barksdale Huffpost
Stop the TPP
We have another bill that can threaten our freedom and that’s the TPP. Obama’s administration is trying their hardest to push this bill through in the fall and it must be stopped. They are discussing this bill in secret and that’s a major red flag. Here are a list of reasons to stop it. We have about 4-5 months to stop this but I know we can. We can let our voices be heard and stop this madness. Below is a link to a petition to stop it. #StopTPP

Apocalypse Design Rant
I’m gonna do a bit of a rant on the Apocalypse character design for X-Men Apocalypse, but it’s not the kind of rant you think. This rant is about the annoying comic book fanboys and fan girls who love bitching and whining about the character’s movie design.
First off why are these guys even whining about it? Everyone knows that a lot of these characters won’t look 100% like their comic book counterpart. I like the design to be honest. A lot of people seem to forget that Apocalypse can change his physical appearance from small to large no problem. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon saying he looks like Ivan Ooze from the Power Rangers which is complete bull crap.
Another fact is, these people probably did the same thing last year when QuickSilver’s design last year when it came out but guess what he happened? He stole the show in the scenes he was in.
It seems like they just want to look for something to complain about it I bet they’ll shut up next year when the movie premiers.
Ant-Man movie review
This morning, I saw Marvel’s newest movie, Ant-Man. The movie is about a third who is reluctantly thrown into being a a super hero after stealing a scientifically engineered shrinking suit.
Let me start of by saying that I loved the movie ! The characters were great, the comedy was great and the action was great!
Ant-Man is definitely one of those movies that I will buy on DVD when it comes out. The main character Scott Lang is fresh out of prison and you can tell he wants to start fresh and do right by his daughter so right then and there you have something to root for. Not only is he funny but his homeboys are too and Spoiler Alert: T.I. Is in this movie though not as a main character but a very funny secondary character.
Michael Douglas as Hank Pym was great as well. He shows that the the very first scene of the movie. You can tell he was trying his best to the correct the wrongs he’s done and help mend the relationship between him and his daughter.
Now to the villain The Yellow Jacket. He’s definitely someone who you wanna yank through the movie screen and strangle. Especially when you see what lengths he’ll go through to achieve his goal.
All in all, this movie is definitely worth watching! Take your friends , take your family or who ever to see this movie because it’s worth the money.
On a scale of 1 to 5 I give it a 5
High Speed chase leaves teacher and mistress dead
A long high speed chase from Georgia to Alabama has left 2 people dead.
49 year old Sandra Barrnett, I special needs teacher at McNair Middle School was kidnapped and killed yesterday during a high speed across state lines.
Her kidnapper, was her husband’s mistress. Neighbors noticed something was off after they spotted a Dodge Durango outside of Barrnett’s home.
The chase stopped in Alabama where the mistress stopped the car, pulled out a gun, opened the trunk and shot Barrnett before turning the gun on herself. The mistress has not been named.
This is a scary case of Fatal Attraction . Because of this woman’s no good husband 2 people are dead. I hope he has a good way of explaining this to his kids if he has any.
Sandra Bland Drove to Texas to Start a New Job, so How Did She End Up Dead in Jail?
She has a Name
Her name is Sandra Bland a Black Woman from Naperville ILL., on July 9th the 28 year old drove to Texas to start her new job at her alma meter, Prairie View, A&M only to be stopped just outside the campus July 10th by Police for allegedly (WE ALL KNOW IT WASN’T ALLEGEDLY) for failing to signal while changing lanes. Needless to write on July 13th when her Family came to bail her out of jail to only find her dead in her jail cell hmmmm…. a Video was uploaded to YouTube and it doesn’t look like the police stopped her for that reason.
What will it take to reprogram these shoot to kill cops from killing our BLACK MEN AND WOMEN? (Okay stay FOCUSED NOW WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT ALL LIVES MATTER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT #BLACKLIVESMATTER #BLACKWOMANSLIVESMATTER) The only way to reprogram the police and the justice system is to fire and prosecute (ACTUALLY CONVICT AND SENTENCE) everyone of these RACIST BIAS and prejudice officer of color who is in the racist system of justice for the wrongful death of an unarmed man, woman or children of color. How do we do reprogram the good ones you ask? We need to get these good cops out from under the shadows and into the light so they can shine bright these cops are probably scared to step up and speak out against police brutality for fear of retaliation or loss of job.
As you may or naïvely may NOT realize when a BLACK police officer takes off his badge and uniform she/he is just another N****** with a target on their back. One way (I KNOW THERE’S MUCH MORE TO DO) is to STOP recruiting these over eager (security cops) wanna be real cops get them out in the Community with the people let them explore their community with another set of eyes. Abolish the STOP and frisk, Broken Windows policy…… I could go on. When is it gonna STOP my people! RIP Sandra Bland
On July 9, 28-year-old Sandra Bland of Naperville, Ill., drove to Texas to start a new job at her alma mater, Prairie View A&M. On July 10, police stopped Bland just outside the campus….

James Holmes found guilty of Aurora, Colorado shooting
After 3 years and 12 hours of deliberating, James Holmes has been found guilty on a total of 165 counts. 24 counts of murder, 140 counts of attempted murder, and 1 count of possession of an explosive device.
Holmes barged in a movie theater on July 20, 2012 and shot and killed 12 people and injured 70 others. He tried to plead guilty by reason of insanity.
It’s good to see that after 3 years this man will finally be put behind bars. It won’t bring those people back but at least their families can have a peace of mind knowing he will be locked up for life.
