Crowd cheers when valedictorian quotes Trump. Then reveals it was Obama

LOUISVILLE — Bell County High School student and valedictorian Ben Bowling wanted to share some words of wisdom with his graduating class, but there was a twist that no one saw coming.

“This is the part of my speech where I share some inspirational quotes I found on Google,” Bowling said in his speech. “‘Don’t just get involved. Fight for your seat at the table. Better yet, fight for a seat at the head of the table.’ — Donald J. Trump.”

The crowd burst into applause.

“Just kidding,” Bowling said. “That was Barack Obama.” Continue reading..

Roseanne Barr has moved from Ambien to her costars in targeted Tweets after show cancellation

Roseanne Barr is now targeting her costars.

It’s admittedly hard to keep up with Barr’s dizzying response to her self-made catastrophe Tuesday, when she fired off a racist tweet aimed at Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett and subsequently saw ABC cancel her top-rated reboot.

After her tweet, Barr swore off Twitter (again), then returned with a series of apologies: to Jarrett, her fans and the people who work for her. She said she does “not want” her tweet “defended-it was egregious Indefensible.” At one point, the comedian blamed “Ambien tweeting.”

“It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too,” she said.

Yet in the middle of the night on Wednesday she began lashing out at her costars who publicly spoke out against the tweet that ultimately cost them all their jobs.

Take Michael Fishman, who played D.J. Conner on the show. Fishman released a lengthy statement Tuesday saying Roseanne’s “cast, crew, writers and production staff strived for inclusiveness.” He added: “The words of one person do not exemplify the thinking of all involved.”

Barr hit back: “i created the platform for that inclusivity and you know it. ME. You throw me under the bus. nice!”

You could still become president

‘They Were Never Going to Let Me Be President’
New book by Amy Chozick chronicles Hillary Clinton’s campaign

(NEWSER) – New York Times reporter Amy Chozick has a new book on Hillary Clinton and the 2016 election, and one anecdote in particular from it was getting attention on Friday. It’s from election night, when Chozick writes in Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling that it finally became clear somebody had to break the news to Clinton that she was going to lose to Donald Trump. The task fell to “Robby Mook, the drained and deflated campaign manager,” per an excerpt in the Times. And when he finally did so, Clinton “didn’t seem all that surprised,” writes Chozick. Then the key Clinton quote: “‘I knew it. I knew this would happen to me,’ she said, now within a couple of inches of Mr. Mook’s ashen face. ‘They were never going to let me be president.'”

The Daily Beast has more on the book, including what would have been the “nut graf” of the Times story on a Clinton victory under the six-column headline “Madam President.” The paragraph would have begun, “No one in modern politics, male or female, has had to withstand more indignities, setbacks and cynicism.” And it would have ended: “But if she was guarded about her feelings and opinions, she believed it was in careful pursuit of a dream for generations of Americans: the election of the country’s first woman president.” Read more on this story…

Rihanna accuses Snapchat of promoting domestic violence

Rihanna does not think much of Snapchat’s apology for an advertisement that appeared to mock her domestic violence incident with her former boyfriend, Chris Brown.

The ad, for a game called “Would You Rather?”, featured photos of the two singers and asked users if they would “rather slap Rihanna or punch Chris Brown.”

Brown pleaded guilty in 2009 to assaulting Rihanna during an argument when they were dating.

The “Would You Rather” ad was removed earlier this week, and Snapchat released an apology.
