Mississippi sheriff said local politician was 'worse than a black person'
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson made the shocking statement in a text exchange with another local elected official that was recently obtained by the Daily Journal.
“He’s worse than a black person, your [sic] not going to please him,” Johnson wrote to Lee County District 1 Supervisor Phil Morgan in August 2017.
Johnson was referring to Hispanic Mississippi state Rep. Shane Aguirre, whom the sheriff was “aggravated” at for opposing a bill that would have green-lighted a new county jail outside Tupelo, the paper reported.
Addressing the texts in an interview with the Daily Journal, Johnson said, “I was aggravated at him.”
“There was probably no call for mentioning anything of race.”
The sheriff later told the paper he harbors no racists feelings.

“God made us all the same,” Johnson said. “I don’t treat anybody any different.”
'You ugly!!!': Airport guard fired for slipping mean note to random traveler
It looks like the TSA is hiring the cast of “Mean Girls” now.
A traveler passing through security at Rochester International Airport got an unexpected sick burn from an employee — when she handed him a folded-up note that said, “You ugly!!!”
?quality=90&strip=all&w=662
Neal Strassner, 40, said he was handed the small, folded-up piece of brown paper by a female worker before collecting his things at the checkpoint in June.
He said he initially thought it was a piece of scrap cardboard or some trash.
“I didn’t open it because I didn’t care about it,” he told The Post. “She turned around a few times asking, ‘Are you going to open that?’”
When he finally did, he looked at it and saw the message. He said he just put it in his pocket and got on his plane to Kansas.
The guard can be seen doubling over with laughter as Strassner walks away, according to CCTV footage of the incident that Strassner got though a Freedom of Information Act request.
She then tears another piece of cardboard from a box of latex gloves above the bag scanner and begins writing — presumably a message for her next victim.https://nypost.com/2019/08/16/you-ugly-airport-guard-fired-for-slipping-mean-note-to-random-traveler/
A teen walked out with a $2 beer. The store clerk shot him, went back inside & didn't call 911
Seventeen-year-old Dorian Harris was already on his way out the door when the store clerk, Anwar Ghazali, grabbed his gun, pointing it over the counter with two hands.
Harris had spent about seven seconds inside the store. The Top Stop Shop in Memphis was busy that night, about 10 p.m. on March 29, 2018, and when the unarmed teenager waltzed through the door, he didn't waste any time being sneaky. Dressed in purple pants and a hoodie, he grabbed a $2 beer from the shelf in plain view of Ghazali, turned and left, as the clerk raced around the counter.
Ghazali burst toward the door past bewildered customers milling near the counter. Beverly Loverson was one. She saw Harris and the beer, and Ghazali and the gun, "and as he passed me," she remembered while testifying on the stand this week, "I said: 'Don't kill him. Don't kill him. It's just a beer.'"
Ghazali spun around looking for Harris in the parking lot before spotting him bolting down the block. Ghazali took off at a sprint. He caught up and fired his gun, one, two, at least three times. Then, he went back to the store.

As he walked back inside he said, "I think I shot him," according to an arrest warrant, and returned to the cash register to ring up the next guest. He never called 911.
Two days later, Harris was found dead on the same block, collapsed in a man's backyard.
On Thursday, Ghazali was convicted of second-degree murder, marking the end of a tragic case that has sparked protests and boycotts and inflamed racial tensions in Memphis as hundreds mourned the African American teenager. Ghazali is set to be sentenced next month, facing between 15 and 60 years in prison.
-----------
Numerous witnesses were in the store when Ghazali pulled the gun. None of them called 911 either, something Loverson said she had come to regret. In the hours and days after the shooting, Ghazali never reported it, and he never complained to police about any theft.
"He just left him out there to die," Fitch told the Commercial Appeal, "and I do believe in all my heart that if he had called the police and let somebody know that he shot somebody that my grandson would have been alive today."
Harris was shot in the left leg, and the bullet severed a major artery, Fowler said during the trial. A neighbor who lives four doors down from the convenience store told the jury that two days after the shooting, he noticed a trail of blood in his yard, WMC-TV reported. He followed it, and found Harris's body.
Fact check: No evidence for Trump's claim he was once named Michigan's 'Man of the Year'
(CNN)At a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Thursday, President Donald Trump made a handful of false claims, including returning to a claim he's made since the final days of the 2016 campaign.
He said he was once named Michigan's "Man of the Year."
Sounds impressive, but there is a significant problem here.
Facts First: Nobody has been able to find any evidence of Trump receiving such an award.
It is hard to definitively prove that something vague has not happened. So we'll leave open the possibility that Trump is talking about some actual event and that he and his team are just being coy about the details.
But neither we nor anyone else has been able to find a single detail. CNN has reached out to the White House and the Trump campaign about the claim, but has not heard back.
Trump first publicly uttered the claim on November 6, 2016, two days before the election, when he was making his successful last-ditch effort to win Michigan.
"I've been fighting for the car industry for years. I was honored five years ago. Man of the Year in Michigan. That was a great honor for me," he said at a rally in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
He then described a supposed controversy over his supposed Man of the Year acceptance speech.
"During my speech, all I talked about is what Mexico and these other countries are doing to us. And especially what they're doing to Michigan," he said. "That's all I talked about. And I was criticized. They said, 'Donald, speak about something else.' I said, 'No. What's happening is horrible."
Trump has repeated versions of the claim at least six times since, including at a roundtable with corporate leaders in Michigan in 2017 and a rally in Wisconsin this April.

A Virginia teen saw a historic black cemetery in disrepair. He recruited his fellow Boy Scouts
A Virginia teen saw a historic black cemetery in disrepair. He recruited his fellow Boy Scouts to restore it.

Griffin Burchard never forgot the dilapidated Virginia cemetery named after one of the most famous African Americans of the 19th century.
Burchard first spotted Douglass Memorial Cemetery — named for orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass — while on a service trip with his Boy Scout troop about three years ago. The Scouts were supposed to be removing faded wreaths from pristine rows of graves inside the well-maintained Alexandria National Cemetery.
But Burchard’s eyes were drawn to the run-down plot just down the street.
“I noticed that, unlike all the other cemeteries in the complex, it was not being kept up,” Burchard, 16, said. “There were fallen leaves, signs of flooding, and trees with limbs hanging so far over you couldn’t even read the sign that says, ‘Douglass.’ ”
On Thursday afternoon, Burchard stood in that same cemetery, now swept clean of debris, and smiled as he watched a fellow Boy Scout whip away a black cloth to reveal a brand-new sign for the plot. It was the culmination of a months-long restoration project Burchard undertook to earn Eagle Scout status — and it was timed to coincide with the 400th anniversary of enslaved Africans’ arrival in Virginia.
Douglass cemetery contains about 600 headstones, though records show at least 1,900 people, all African American, were buried there between the 1890s and 1975, said City of Alexandria archaeologist Benjamin Skolnik. Some were likely enslaved, and many were almost certainly descendants of slaves, according to Skolnik.

Trump bashes NH protester: 'That guy's got a serious weight problem'

tells him to go him and exercise
-------------------
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump insulted a protester's weight Thursday evening at his rally in Manchester, New Hampshire.
“That guy’s got a serious weight problem,” Trump said as several protesters were escorted out of the arena. "Go home. Start exercising."
"Get him out of here please. Got a bigger problem than I do,” Trump continued. “Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, 'What the hell have you just done?'"
proof Trump does no real work; Tweeting elephant videos and nonsense all morning
President Trump retweeted a video of a baby elephant getting stuck in a patch of mud on Thursday.
The seemingly random retweet stood out on a busy morning on Twitter for the president, who is set to host a rally in New Hampshire on Thursday night.
Other than the elephant tweet, Trump's messages were more typical in focusing on race and divisive political topics. He also mostly retweeted messages from conservative allies.
The president had retweeted former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly saying that “branding the President a white supremacy adherent” is a “cheap piece of political propaganda.”
After that and just before the elephant video, Trump had retweeted Fox News host Laura Ingraham's tweet saying there was no evidence of an epidemic of mass shootings.
A little more than a week ago, more than 30 people were killed in two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
Immediately after the elephant tweet, Trump retweeted Diamond and Silk, the conservative African American women and YouTube personalities, calling them "two great and loyal friends."
Trump also retweeted an article from Fox News host Sean Hannity with comments from the president’s attorney Rudy Giuliani and then tweeted tour dates for Diamond and Silk.
