The election is complete, the media has declared Joe Biden, president elect, and our current president, Donald J. Trump, has filed legal claims in multiple states to block the outcome. President Trump is claiming the election was won illegally. Before all is said and done, I am sure this will make its way to the highest court in our land.
So, whose your president for the next four years?

President Barack Obama is receiving a lot of heat following The President and the Peopletown hall that broadcast across all of the Disney networks on Thursday night.
Erica Garner, daughter of Eric Garner – the man killed by an illegal chokehold in 2014 – expressed her disappointment with the town hall on race via social media. In one posting on Twitter, Garner said, “I was upset because ABC lied and used me, my pain, and suffering for ratings.”

After each fatal shooting of a black man by an officer, President Barack Obama has swiftly spoken out against bad policing, giving voice to the generations of African-Americans who have found themselves at the wrong end of a baton, a snarling dog or a gun.
As much as those words have comforted blacks, they have rankled many of the nation's men and women in blue. Some have described the remarks as an insult, an all-too-quick condemnation before all the facts are in and a failure to acknowledg
Like Las Vegas oddsmakers and nearly half the people making picks in ESPN’s Tournament Challenge,, President Barack Obama likes Kentucky to win the NCAA men’s basketball championship.
Obama, a die-hard basketball fan who has filled out a bracket for ESPN since he became president in 2009, picked Kentucky to beat Villanova in the title game. His complete bracket was revealed Wednesday morning.
Obama has Kentucky beating Arizona and Villanova beating Duke in the national semifinals, which are
For young Ed McCree, enslaved on a thousand-acre Georgia cotton plantation, Christmas and New Year’s Day 150 years ago were like none he’d ever known. After time off for Christmas and feasts with young pigs, cattle, and peaches (still summer-sweet because they were packed in wheat straw and cottonseed that kept them fresh), New Year’s Day typically meant that McCree would be again forced to carry buckets of water to the men and women working in the fields.

Calling for understanding in the face of racially charged anger, President Barack Obama said Monday that the vast majority of protesters in a St. Louis suburb were peaceful, but warned that a small minority was undermining justice for the unarmed black man shot and killed by police.
During a brief pause in his summer vacation, Obama expressed sympathy for the “passions and anger” sparked by the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, but said giving in to that anger through
“Do you want to hit this?” a man asked President Barack Obama in a bar in Denver Tuesday night. The president laughed but didn’t indulge.
It wasn’t the only time Obama was offered weed on his night out. That’s apparently what happens in Colorado, which recently legalized recreational marijuana.
The man posted the exchange on Instagram for the world to see.
Obama has admitted to smoking pot as a young man. He was an active member of the “Choom Gang” in high school, which perfected all sorts of

Oregon State athletic director Bob De Carolis announced on March 28 that head coach Craig Robinson would return for a seventh season as basketball coach, even penning a strongly worded letter of support for President Barack Obama’s brother-in-law.
The more De Carolis thought about it, the more he realized it was a mistake.
Reversing his course from five weeks earlier, De Carolis fired Robinson on Monday, ending the tenure of a coach who brought prestige to the u

Much has been made about new “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon’s supposed liberal inclinations, but Wednesday night he had no problem ripping Obamacare and needling President Obama over his handling of Ukraine.
Fallon’s humorous assault took the form of a fictional phone call between Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Look, don’t you see what you’re doing though? You’re forcing people to accept something that the majority of them don’t even want,” the actor playing Obama tells Putin,
Russian troops took over Crimea as the parliament in Moscow gave President Vladimir Putin a green light Saturday to use the military to protect Russian interests in Ukraine.
