Open letter to Alabama student body: Please boo Trump at LSU-Alabama game

Although the college experience may seem ordinary at times, this weekend you have an opportunity to do something magnificent and to help turn around how the nation, and maybe world, looks at your state. Yes, you guys have great food, beaches, geography and, for anyone who has visited Durbin Farms, the best damn peach cobbler in the nation.

What you don’t have, however, is a good reputation when it comes to respecting the rights of others. In fact, those perceptions, dated or not, are pretty much that you are the most racist and intolerant state in the Union. As much as you like a #1 ranking, this is not one to be proud of. Recently, our nation’s president has been venturing out of his bubble and showing up at sporting events seeking cheers from the fans. This has not worked out too well. At both the World Series and the last UFC fight, he has been met with passionate boos from the attendees.

Convinced that he can beat the trend, his advisers have scheduled him to attend the LSU–BAMA game this weekend. Short of NASCAR, a battle between two red state powerhouses seems a safe bet for some adoration. The president has no interest in this game, and could not name what SEC stands for if you spotted him the S and the C. What he IS interested in, is the blind adulation of 100,000 fans at Bryant-Denny channeling their inner Lee Greenwood and giving him the warm and fuzzies.

He wants your cheers. He needs your cheers. He craves them.

He does not deserve them.

He deserves the opposite, in fact. On Saturday, when he most needs cheers, you need to boo him loudly, proudly and often. Why boo, you ask, and why you? Because it is YOUR future he is destroying with a catastrophic disregard for the environment, and reckless foreign policy, and trillion-dollar deficit spending. You need to boo to show that you are not OK with racially divisive language and victim blaming. You need to boo because this will be your mess to clean up.

woman found alive after left to die in Mojave dessert without food or water

(CNN)A man and his daughter abducted and raped a Las Vegas woman, taking her to California and holding her about a week before she was "left to die" outside Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave Desert, investigators said.

Among the charges against Stanley Lawton, 54, and his daughter Shaniya Poche-Lawton, 22, are kidnapping to commit robbery, attempted murder, rape and robbery, according to the complaint.

Military police found the alleged victim, cold and disoriented, outside the base during a routine patrol on November 6, according to Capt. Eddie Hernandez of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

"She's very lucky to be alive" after she was found by chance, Hernandez said. She had been dumped without food or water, he said. It's not clear how long she had been in the desert, he said.

The woman was treated at a hospital and has been released, Hernandez said.

The suspects abducted the woman at gunpoint around October 30 and at some point took her to a house in Palmdale, California.
She was with them for "at least a week," Hernandez said at a news conference Friday. Investigators believe the house belongs to Lawton, he said.

daughter subtly indicates she didn't like her father's intrusive behavior with respect to gyno visit

How Is T.I.'s Daughter Deyjah Harris Doing Amid The 'Virginity Test' Backlash?

The internet was set ablaze this week when rapper T.I. revealed that he attends his 18-year-old daughter, Deyjah Harris’ OBGYN appointments, and demands to know if her hymen is intact. It’s a gross violation of privacy and extremely misogynist. On a since-deleted episode of Ladies Like Us podcast called “Life Hacks,” the Atlanta-born rapper revealed,


Deyjah’s just graduated high school now and she’s attending her first year of college, figuring it out for herself. And yes, not only have we had the conversation, we have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen.

The comments are sexist, disgusting, creepy, and offensive, and the backlash has been swift. But how is Deyjah Harris, the young lady who has been thrust amid this media firestorm handling it all?


Deyjah Harris does not support her father T.I’s invasive behavior
Harris has not publically commented on her father’s yearly trips with her to the gynecologist. However, she has liked several tweets referring to the Rythm +Flow judge’s actions as “disgusting” and “possessive.” She also hopped on Twitter to say, “I loveeeeeee yalllllll” with a sad face emoji. In addition to being publicly humiliated, Harris has also had to deal with a slew of sexual and alarming comments on her social media pages from horrible predatory men.
