Blurbal Perspective

On Wednesday's episode of " Morning Joe," NPR's Cokie Roberts asked Donald Trump if he was proud of white children bullying classmates of color in his name ( it is being reported that white children are telling children of color that Donald Trump is going to deport them after the election ). Trump told Roberts that the question was "nasty." He went on to say that he was unaware of the reports. He concluded by saying that he was going to "make America great again." Way to avoid answering the question, Donnie. My Two Cents: I shouldn't be surprised by anything Trump does or says, but it isn't a good sign when he refuses to answer a question about children bullying other children. Trump became very defensive when the topic was brought up. He pretended that he knew nothing about the issue. If someone really did not know about something that was going on, they wouldn't become defensive about it. I'm willing to bet that he...

Super thin Katie Hopkins made a goal to gain 40 to 50 pounds in 12 weeks, and then lose 40 to 50 pounds in the same amount of time. Her journey was captured on camera and is being shown on TLC as a 2-part TV special. Katie Hopkins said this about her weight gain/lost journey: “The reason I'm gaining the weight is to prove how simple it is to lose weight if you really want to, and the only way I can do that is by becoming fat myself. I really believe that fat people’s solution is in their hands. They don’t need to put so much into their face.” Hopkins begins her journey by eating 3,000 calories a day. A few weeks into the experiment, she notices that she is not losing any weight. She bumps up her caloric intake to 6,000 calories a day. During her experiment, she travels to America to see how we ga...

West refused to continue a show in Australia until the entire audience was standing and ready to worship West in a God-like manner. Two concertgoers happened to have been disabled (one had a prosthetic leg, and another was confined to a wheelchair), and couldn't rise to worship West at his feet. This hit Mr. Kanye's ego like a ton of bricks, so he decided to call out the two concert-goers by saying: "I can't do this show until everybody stand up. Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and shit." The fan with the prosthetic leg took her leg off and waved it in the air. Kanye acknowledged the leg and tried to continue the show. Suddenly, he noticed another seated fan and abruptly stopped the show. Kanye sent one of his bodyguards out to confirm that the fan was handicapped. When they confirmed it, West said: ...

Pretty much everyone has a Facebook these days. You, your siblings, your friends, spouse, significant other, cousin, parent, grandparent, pet, etc. You share pictures and status updates. You can 'like' pages, like and comment on funny memes, and share them with your friends. It's all pretty innocent, right? Well, not exactly. There are some pages that are on Facebook that are just like the "burn book" from "Mean Girls," except, it bashes those who are overweight. The 530 Fatties page was recently in the news after a young woman in Sacramento, CA found an old picture of herself on the page. The picture was from when she was 50 pounds heavier and the pigs who were members of the page were making fun of her. See, what the assholes of the page do is that they go around taking pictures of anyone in the Sacramento area they feel is overweight/obese, put it on their page, and flame them. What 18 year old Jessi Lynn Howell did is call them out on it. Ho...
