The Military Is Sending A MAJOR ‘F*** You’ To Trump And It Is AWESOME (DETAILS)

More :UnCut

Despite the fact that Republican nominee Donald Trump has bragged throughout his campaign about all the support he’s getting from the military, it’s turned out to be yet another lie. It turns out that his rival, Hillary Clinton, is getting far more backing from active and retired members of our military – leaving Trump’s campaign out to dry.

Americans who are or have been employees of the U.S. Department of Defense or major branches of the military – the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard – have contributed far more money to Clinton’s campaign by a long shot. Between Trump and Clinton’s campaign, the candidates have been able to get $972,709 in contributions altogether. Here’s the shocking thing – Clinton’s contributions account for 80% of that! America’s military members have given her $771,471 in support, while Trump’s success with our military is all talk.

Kurtis Blow Is Recovering From Heart Attack

Bossip

Hip Hop pioneer Kurtis Walker aka Kurtis Blow is recovering after suffering a heart attack at a bus stop in Los Angeles.
Four LAPD officers arrived to the scene initially following up on a report that there was an altercation between the 57-year old Walker and his young son. When the officers approached the situation, he collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. Walker gasped for air after several minutes and the officers rolled him on his side to alleviate his breathing. He then stopped breathing all together and officers began doing chest compressions for over 5 minutes.

“I died and those officers saved my life,” said Kurtis. “The police saved my life, a Black man. In this day and age, people need to hear that.”

Kurtis Blow is currently in stable condition and wants to personally thank all of the officer that were involved with saving his life.
