Joe Walsh is a total scumbag. Of course he won't admit to his tweet being a threat to the President and to Black Lives Matter. What a classless moron. This sort of speech furthers the divide in our country.

“3 Dallas Cops killed, 7 wounded. This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you.”

Senseless tragedy. This is very sad. If it is true that this was carried out in response to police incidents with the African American community, then these murderers missed the point completely. This violence will not solve our problems. It will only lead to even more problems.

Philando Castile. Dead. Killed by a police officer during a routine traffic stop. Since when is a broken tail light a death sentence? Why? This man did not need to die. This officer must be arrested and charged with murder immediately!

The video below has graphic images of Philando Castile shot, bloodied, dying. Discretion is advised.

This is a very sad day. The officer who killed Alton Sterling had NO respect for his life. Now a man is dead for no reason at all. Another example that highlights the needs for radical reforms across the country to prevent this sort of tragedy from happening again. This officer should be arrested immediately and charged with murder!

The below video shows the incident. It is of graphic nature and shows a Alton Sterling being shot and killed by the police. Watch at your own discretion.

Since everyone is so focused on "damn emails" right now, here is a friendly reminder of something really important. If we don't do something about climate change, that email server will be under water one day. Climate change must be acted on now!

And he's 100% right. Many Christians and Churches have treated LGBTQ people horrendously throughout the world. Hopefully, this is a step towards LGBTQ people around the world being able to freely exercise the religion of their choice without out fear of being discriminated against for their sexual orientation or gender identity. Now let's see if churches will work with the LGBTQ community and accept them for who they are!

Pope Francis said Sunday that Christians should apologize to g**s and le****ns, remarks that quickly have been hailed as historic.

This sends a message to conservatives saying that they cannot control what a woman does with her own body!

By a 5-3 vote, the Supreme Court struck down a Texas law that would have made abortion virtually extinct in the state by requiring them to meet the standards of ambulatory surgical centers. The court ruled that the law is unconstitutional because it placed an undue burden on women.
