When Donald Trump took the stage at a rally in Nashville on Tuesday evening, plenty of people expected him to comment on the controversy that erupted when ABC pulled the plug on Roseanne in response to racist comments its lead, Roseanne Barr made about Valerie Jarrett on social media.

He didn’t.

A more responsible, respectable, decent leader of the free world would likely have taken the opportunity to condemn such a visible act of hatred from a celebrity, especially one who spends more time commenting on pop culture than he does about anything that actually matters. But especially because he so proudly and publicly aligned himself with the show that caused controversy with its offensive humor and hatred-tinged storylines since its premiere. The president, whose press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders basically said the POTUS had better things to do than comment on the issue (“That’s not what the president’s looking at…We have a lot bigger thing going on in the country right now”) even though he didn’t hesitate to congratulate his outspoken supporter when her show premiered to record ratings in March, chose to stay silent amid the controversy.

Instead of taking a stand against Barr’s despicable comments about a highly-respected Obama adviser, he took aim at Jay-Z for using profanity while making appearances for Hillary Clinton while she was running for President two years ago.

“The only way she filled up the arena was to get Jay-Z…His language was so filthy it made me look like the most clean-cut human being on Earth… He’d stand up there before those crowds, and by the way, without any musical instruments, I had much bigger crowds than he was drawing,” Trump said.

“But he’d stand up before those crowds, and he’d use the f-word, and Hillary would sit back and say ‘I’m in trouble. Please don’t have him use that kind of language anymore.’ And then he’d finish and everyone would leave, and she’d be standing up making a speech to 400 people.”

What in all the hells is this man talking about? He decided now would be a good time to go after a highly-respected Black man for performing songs at a concert two years ago rather than address the disgusting comments made by one of his most outspoken and highly-visible supporters?

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley. But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead. Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French.
