Being Idiotic With Tomi!

Tomi Lahren is the modern-day Bill O'Reilly and I am sick of her.

Being Idiotic With Tomi!
SOHH

This is Tomi Lahren. She is the host of The Blaze Channel's "Tomi."

You're going to see a lot of Tomi on your Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Why you ask? Well, Lahren is known for her ignorant comments on the topic of the day. Her segment, "Final Thoughts with Tomi," is always widely shared for the sheer ignorance of her knowledge. Sad thing is she believes in what she's saying is right and that we (who oppose her) can't handle her "truths." All in all, bullsh*t if you ask me.

Lahren gained attention with her comments on entertainer Beyonce Knowles-Carter's performance on Super Bowl 50 last February. She claimed that the singer was promoting police brutality (as Beyonce and her dancers were dressed in militant, Black Panther-inspired garb). She added that the Black Panther Party was a group that "use violence and intimidation to advance, not racial equality, but an overthrow of white domination." She lied about the Panther's overall mission, then claimed that Beyonce did it for attention by not letting America heal, ripping off the so-called, "Historic Band-Aid." Lahren decided to advise Beyonce that her husband, rapper Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) was a drug dealer for 14 years and that she should talk about that in her home.

Her next attack was towards Jesse Williams and his impeccable speech on last month's BET Awards. As Williams discussed about the black men and women who lost their lives in the hands of police brutality, she used it to talk about how some of the victims were reportedly "trying" to grab the officers' guns, which led to their demise. Williams talked about people who critique our oppression and have no interest in the equal rights for African Americans, which she replied, "Please tell me, Mr. Williams, what rights Black people don't have?" She continued to say that white people did have the right to critique since some fought in the Civil War for the ending of slavery. And as Williams spoke about black appropriation (taking our creation with no respect for the creators), she claimed that Jesse with countless others (i.e. Beyonce, Jada Pinkett Smith and Rev. Al Sharpton) are trying to divide our country and claim he wasn't a true humanitarian because of his speech.

Earlier this week, Lahren commented on the killing of Alton Sterling. She claimed that the video wasn't legit as it seem crappy and that you could hear a "taser" being used. She claimed that we shouldn't judge what we can't see. She continued to talk about Sterling's previous offenses and called the shooter of the Orlando attacks to be a terrorist in the name of radical Islam. "Be mad, be mad as hell, but don't create your own narrative," she says.


I think she's a troll. I think she's only here to piss us off, especially since her show isn't on nation cable. I was introduced to her, due to her comments about the Super Bowl Performance. For a proud BeyHive member, I was ready for the Beyonce backlash, but I was completely blindsided when she started to lie on the Black Panther Party's mission. The Black Panther Party was brought up to bring up African Americans in the turbulent 1960s. Do your research. Then she goes after Jay-Z being a drug dealer, thinking she told Beyonce a surprising secret. Jay always told us about his drug dealer past, but he always risen above it to become a better man. Her snide comment about Beyonce solving her problem at home was disrespectful.

Her comments about the police during the speech was ludicrous. Tamir Rice was a 12-year old boy, playing by himself in the park with a toy gun. He didn't try to take a gun from anybody, actually he was shot down from a distance. She said that white people had the right to critique since they helped out in the war. If you want to get critical, because some of the states up in the Northeast had slaves. Then again, do you want a trophy for that? Slavery shouldn't have happened in the first place. Jesse Williams isn't trying to divide us, he was waking up the sleep and informing the ones who try to play us for fools. Why is that when our entertainers speak out? White people get mad like we don't have a voice to use. I don't understand.

With the Alton Sterling shooting, she said we shouldn't trust a crappy video when the second, clearer video came out hours before her program. I didn't hear a "taser", but I sure heard a gunshot and the officer swearing afterwards... I heard that, but did you? Then we bring up Sterling's past with the law like the police knew that before they shot him cold-blooded. I don't really care about his past right now because he was shot for no reason. You don't know if that man was trying to redeem himself while being on probation. Alton Sterling was a husband. Was a father to five kids, who probably thought he was greatest thing in the world. So you decide to throw in his family's face about the past they were probably trying to get away from. You're petty, Tomi and I don't respect you for that. She brought up about the shooter being a terrorist for radical Islam and that was his reason. No, that man was a closet homosexual, who was angry and jealous of those, who lived their truth. Don't get it twisted.

Tomi Lahren, I don't respect you. You hit below the belt too many times to call it "truth," then get upset when someone comes back at you. You live in the land of make-believe to think that what you say is factual and truthful. You lie, throw unnecessary jabs, and think you can get away with it? Baby girl, I am not a fan. I will continue to call you out on your BS because it stinks. Tell us "don't create your own narrative," when you do it everyday on your little non-cable, basic show. Girl, bye!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
