A Social Experiment

Gonna Miss This Lady

James Corden host of the late, late show, is noted for his carpool karaoke bits on his show. THIS has got to be my favorite.




After the episode aired, the Secret Service sent James Corden a shout out on Twitter, thanking him for getting her back safely. I’d have to check to be sure, but I doubt this has ever happened to another TV show host. Way to make history, James Corden!


U.S. Secret Service ✔ @SecretService
Thank you @JKCorden and the @latelateshow for bringing @FLOTUS home safe and sound after #CarpoolKaraoke. We were watching @SecretService

Monday Morning Smile

None today.

Sunday was a bloody Sunday in Baton Rouge. My heart is at the breaking point.

WHAT THE FUCK, AMERICA??? WHAT THE FUCK? KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE? KILLING COPS JUST DOING THEIR JOBS?

Thank you Thank you, Duane Leblanc .


Heaven welcomed 3 beautiful souls on July 17 2016 - from the Baton Rouge Police Department.



Earlier in the month, Montrell Jackson took to Facebook to express his thoughts after recent shooting deaths of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and five Dallas police officers.

“I swear to God I love this city but I wonder if this city loves me,” he wrote on July 8. “In uniform I get nasty hateful looks and out of uniform some consider me a threat. I’ve experienced so much in my short life and these last 3 days have tested me to the core. … Finally I personally want to send my prayers out to everyone directly affected by this tragedy. These are trying times. Please don’t let hate infect your heart. This city MUST and WILL get better. I’m working in these streets so any protestors, officers, friends, family, or whoever, if you see me and need a hug or want to say a prayer. I got you.”




Brad Garafola was 45-years-old and had been with the sheriff's office for 24 years.

Matthew Gerald, a former Marine who had joined the Baton Rouge police force a year ago. Matt was the kind of guy that you knew immediately when he entered the room," said Ryan D. Cabral, who served with Gerald in Iraq. "Whether it was the energy he carried with him or that Cajun accent he had . . . maybe it was the Marine in him.

Despite the bad news....there is CARING


From CNN: An image of solidarity in the midst of the Dallas shootings is shared on social media
A peaceful protest ended in bloodshed yesterday as snipers opened fire on Dallas police officers who were working the protest. Five officers lost their lives. A truly horrific act of violence.

As images began to circulate of the terror, confusion, and fear — one image stood out from the rest. It’s a photograph of a group of people surrounding a baby in a stroller, presumably protecting the baby from any more gun violence.



“In the middle of the horror, in the wake of nightmare, amid the outrage and the call to arms is this moment of humanity: People, black and white, surrounded a baby stroller in Dallas as the gunfire broke out. This is the better nature of our angels. This is who we are and who we should strive to be,” Nate Homan, former reporter at Boston Metro wrote.

Tweets from Twats

Shortly after the killing of 5 police officers in Dallas, Texas
Twitter was filled with tweets, certain individuals showed their true colors; mostly in their anger/hatred to our President and Black Lives Matter. Below are a few I found pretty ignorant:



Full-time provocateur and part-time Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke, a frequent Faux News guest:

David A. Clarke, Jr. ✔ @SheriffClarke
American needs Obama to get out of bed & address Dallas situation NOW.
He poured gas on this situation with his dog whistle message earlier.
11:39 PM - 7 Jul 2016


Wayne Allyn Root, a right-wing pundit and onetime Trump rally emcee:

Wayne Allyn Root @WayneRoot
What is President Obama responsibility in this? His irresponsible rhetoric & propaganda have divided this nation.
1:14 AM - 8 Jul 2016


Pam Geller, whacko extrodinaire

Obama’s racist campaign of division and discord exploded tonight in Dallas, Texas just hours after he made a hate speech inciting to violence.



Matthew Vadum at FrontPage Mag:

Is the race war Barack Obama wanted breaking out in Dallas and across America?



@andieiamwhoiam (don't know who she is, don't care)
I have a sinking feeling that Barack is smiling his smug little smile, knowing what happened in Dallas tonight.
11:02 PM - 7 Jul 2016



Dr. Frank Corleone, some guy who thinks he's Al Pacino:

Dallas Authorities release sketch of a man who helped facilitate the slaughter of Dallas Police Officers!
11:07 PM - 7 Jul 2016


Former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh declared "war" on Obama and Black Lives Matter protesters in a now-deleted tweet during the Dallas chaos...



After many people reported it to the U.S. Secret Service, he deleted the tweet, but that didn't stop him from continuing his despicable rant.

More "intelligent tweets" from this goofball:

Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom
BLM should be categorized as a hate group.
10:49 PM - 7 Jul 2016


Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom
4 dead.

Obama stoked the flame.

BLM did this.

Cops are dying.
10:51 PM - 7 Jul 2016

Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom
4 Dallas Cops assassinated tonight.

Blacks lives matter cheers.

LGBT blames Christians.

Obama defends Islam.
11:04 PM - 7 Jul 2016

This one is especially despicable, because again -- there is absolutely no evidence now, or at the time he tweeted this, that the suspects are black.


Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom

Obama says Cops are racist so 2 uneducated black thugs shoot 10 Dallas Cops tonight, killing 4.

Wake up silent majority. Stand w our Cops.


11:15 PM - 7 Jul 2016


He followed that one up with this one immediately after:


Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom
It's time 4 patriotic Americans to stand up & stand against all the Cop haters - from Obama to the thugs on the street.

It's way past time.

11:52 PM - 7 Jul 2016

And then, after he was roundly criticized and had his tweets sent to the Secret Service, he tweeted this:


Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom
I wasn't calling for violence, against Obama or anyone. Obama's words & BLM's deeds have gotten cops killed. Time for us to defend our cops.
12:21 AM - 8 Jul 2016
