Since yesterday, CNN has shown on their homepage that hurricane Irma will strengthen to a Cat 5 again.
Every other news broadcast or website that I've seen shows it will remain a Cat 4, and don't even mention any chance of strengthening to Cat 5 again.
how does CNN get away with that bs?

thats racist!
this is how obama fixed islam too.
Portland police will no longer maintain a database of suspected gang members, due to concerns that the vast majority of people with the gang label are racial minorities.
Starting Oct. 15, the Portland Police Bureau will end the 20-year practice of issuing gang member designations, which police say can lead to “unintended consequences” and a lifelong stigma even for those who have given up the gang lifestyle. Officials intend to notify the approximately 300 people on the gang list that the bureau will purge all records related to the designations, The Oregonian reported.
City officials and community activists had long urged the bureau to stop attaching the gang designation to criminal suspects, claiming the practice disproportionately impacted people of color. A review of police data by The Oregonian last year found that 81 percent of the “criminal gang affiliates” in Portland’s database were racial or ethnic minorities.

In case you missed it:
IMO...Biggest Jerkoff Scumbag event to ever hit television. Call me a POS if you must, but there are some people who don't deserve to have the same citizenship as I carry. We can go more drastic on how I feel about these Libtards if you really want to know how I feel...

"Hey, they offered me $600,000 not to dispute that I [wrote] the book." He said, "That's cash." I said, "They're going to think you wrote it." He said, "So? Everybody thinks I'm a murderer anyway. They're not going to change their mind just because of a book."
