Allen West attempts to link Pres. Obama to Ft. Hood shootings?

After the tragic Fort Hood shootings on 04/02/2014 former congressman Allen West appeared on Fox News (where else) to give his opinion and thoughts on the tragedy. Now even I thought this made sense since he's prior military. But after be asked a question (ok prompted) by Sean Hannity he did something just as amazing as it is disgusting. This man somehow tried to connect President Obama's dealings with Crimea to the Ft. hood shootings. Normally nothing said on Fox News surprises me but this BS did. As someone who is former military and currently serving in a elected capacity I was completely embarrassed for him. This is something you have to see to believe. Watch his ridiculous comments below:

Councilwoman Muriel Bowser defeats incumbent Gray in D.C. mayoral primary

Muriel E. Bowser, a low-key but politically canny District lawmaker, won the Democratic mayoral nomination Tuesday, emerging from a pack of challengers in a low-turnout primary to deny scandal-tarnished incumbent Vincent C. Gray a second term.

The 41-year-old D.C. Council member triumphed in the latest in a string of District elections to reveal a city unsettled over the shape of its future. Bowser’s win heralds many more months of uncertainty as she faces a substantial general-election challenger while a lame-duck Gray is left to steer the city amid the threat of federal indictment.

Bowser (D-Ward 4) moved deftly to capitalize on public doubts about Gray’s trustworthiness fueled by the still-unresolved federal corruption investigation into his 2010 campaign. Alone among seven Democratic challengers, she amassed a coalition that crossed demographic and geographic lines allowing her to outpoll Gray’s shrunken but steady base of African American voters.

LAPD: DeSean Jackson not linked to gang activity

I'm glad that the LAPD released this statement. While most in the media have tried to be fair and take NJ.com's report that Jackson had gang involvement with a bit of skepticism many fans were not as nice. Even though the Philadelphia Eagles have not publicly cited that as a reason for Jackson's release many fans ignorantly went there anyway. Many jumped to conclusions about DeSean Jackson's gang involvement ( wonder why? ). DeSean Jackson wont get any apologies from those fans but at least he has been cleared of any wrong doing. George Cook AAReports.com

[ SOURCE ] Not long before the Philadelphia Eagles announced the release of DeSean Jackson, NJ.com reported the team was concerned by the pro bowl wide receiver’s “gang connections.“

It was reported that Jackson had relationships with two gang members linked to homicides in Los Angeles since 2010. The LAPD is now saying it has never linked the former Eagle to gang-related activity and that he wasn’t a suspect in the homicide investigations.

“It’s kind of like ‘Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,’ ” LAPD Homicide Det. Chris Barling told the Philadelphia Daily News. “When people grow up in neighborhoods where you have gang involvement, you don’t have to look too far before you find a connection to a connection.

“Now, how sinister that connection is, our position is that’s for others to judge.”
