Judge Kathleen Ryan of Oakland County, Michigan (in the Detroit area) has been removed from the bench for racist comments caught on tape. “If you’re an American Black person, you’re a f***ing lazy piece of s***.” “I’m not systematically racist. I’m a new racist.”

Remember all those smash-and-grab videos of store theft? Now meet the suburban housewife and her husband behind an $8 million nationwide shoplifting ring. 😏

Obama: I’ve noticed that some men seem to think that Trump's behavior of bullying and putting people down is a sign of strength. That is not real strength. Real strength is working hard, taking responsibility, telling the truth, helping people in need, and standing up for others.
