Video of boy acting out while getting a haircut, went viral…Were they WRONG for holding him down?

The ReadyWriter

Many of you have already seen this video of a 6-year-old boy with emotional and behavioral problems who is acting out while getting his hair cut.

Is it and was it, wrong to inflict more violence on an already damaged child?

Dr. Nancy Rappaport, a Harvard Medical School professor, tells Childmind.org that children who act out aggressively in public or in school are likely suffering from an undiagnosed anxiety disorder.

“When the chief complaint is temper tantrums, or disruption in school, or throwing themselves on the floor while shopping at the mall, it’s hard to know what it means,” she explains.

“The trouble is that when kids who are anxious become disruptive they push away the very adults who they need to help them feel secure,” notes Dr. Rappaport.

The video is a bit disturbing but was the mother wrong for inflicting such trauma on her son? And do you think the barber should’ve still cut his hair?

Trump Blasted Alec For SNL Parody and Alec Clapped Back!!!

The ReadyWriter

trump_baldwinAs usual Donald Trump took to twitter to blast Alec Baldwin for his latest and/or recent portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live.

This is hardly the first time the president elect has taken issue with the show’s portrayal of him. But, this was the first time that Alec Baldwin, who plays Trump with hilarious and somewhat stunning accuracy, personally fired back at Trump.

Trump started with complaining about “equal time” by tweeting the following:

The equal time rule which Trump speaks of, is part of the 1934 Communications Act that requires radio and broadcast television stations to treat legally qualified political candidates equally when it comes to selling or giving away air time. Of course, the equal time rule only applies during a campaign and, in case Trump hadn’t noticed, the election is over.

On Sunday Alec Baldwin clapped back at Trump and blasted him for being petty and focusing on the wrong things by tweeting this reply:

Baldwin’s reply were long overdue but classically on point!!

Trump has a whole four years to go and he better get use to the media dragging him through the mud good or bad, it comes with the title and the role. As a leader you have to have thick skin and an open minded personality in order to survive.

“Racism and this 2016 Election” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

untitledFears of heightened bigotry and hate crimes have turned into reality for some Americans after Donald Trump’s presidential win on Tuesday November 8th. And the list of incidents keeps growing.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, they’ve counted more than 300 cases of hateful harassment or intimidation in the U.S. since Election Day. “They’ve been everywhere — in schools, in places of business, in stores like Walmart and on the street,” SPLC President Richard Cohen said Monday.

While Trump has been accused of fostering xenophobia, hate, racism and Islamophobia, some people have used his words as justification to carry out hateful crimes. In recent days we have witnessed ugly episodes of racist or anti-Semitic pro-Trump graffiti along with threats or attacks against Muslims.

An “Ape in heels” is what they called “Michelle Obama”

15027662_694864644002410_2765496967866923397_nWest Virginia officials are under fire for their comments about Michelle Obama. A nonprofit group’s director and a mayor in a small town in West Virginia have been swept up in a firestorm surrounding comments they’ve made about Michelle Obama that have been perceived as blatantly racist.

“It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels,” according to NBC affiliate WSAZ.

Comments posted by Pamela Ramsey Taylor (pictured above), on her Facebook page about Michelle Obama.

Taylor, who was director of Clay County Development Corp. in Clay, Virginia, a small town outside of Charleston, made the comment about the move from Michelle Obama to Melania Trump.

The news station reported that the town’s mayor, Beverly Whaling, then replied, “Just made my day Pam.”

The comments were later deleted, but images of the post have been shared widely on social media. As of Monday afternoon, an online petition calling for the women’s terminations had garnered more than 14,000 signatures.

Both of their Facebook pages have been removed, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.

Two-tenths of 1 percent of Clay County’s residents are African American, according to census data. More than three-quarters of the presidential votes cast in the county went to Trump.

The two women have apologized for their remarks.

This is why YOUR ‘VOTE’ DON’T COUNT!!!

electoral-college-550x316The above post on Instagram.com suggests your vote doesn’t matter because unknown “political figures” in the Electoral College gave their electoral votes to President-elect Donald Trump.

The electors are not nameless individuals conspiring to elect whomever they want. They are chosen based on your state senators and representatives in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives in Congress.

Unlike in local elections, Americans do not directly elect the president or vice president. Instead, a 2-step process is necessary to prevent voter fraud on a massive scale.

The Electoral College is simply the 2nd step of the 2-step process to elect a president and vice president after the people have spoken.

Every state is represented by 2 senators and a number of representatives (congressmen or congresswomen) based on your state’s population.

Each state gets to choose electors equal to the number of senators and representatives who reside in that state.

Under most state’s winner-take-all system the candidate who wins the state gets all the electoral votes for that state.

The map shows the Democratic states in blue, and the Republican states in red. Clinton won the blue states, Trump won the red states.

In order for Clinton to be elected president on Dec. 19, at least 21 electors in one or more of the red states (won by Trump) would have to defy their state by giving their electoral votes to Clinton.

Theoretically, that would leave Trump with less than the 270 electoral votes necessary to be elected president.
