Kanye West declares he would have voted for Trump, if he voted at all

Kanye West: ‘I Would Have Voted on Trump’ - The Drop Presented by ADD

Kanye West is no stranger to controversy in fact one could argue that he absolutely loves it but what he said on stage during last nights Saint Pablo Tour concert in San Jose still came as a shock to many of his fans: West declared that he would have voted for Donald Trump.

During an impromptu break in his show, West went full-on political and began alengthy rant by announcing that not only did he not vote in this years presidential election which prompted some uproar from the massive audience but that if he had voted, Donald Trump would have been his candidate.

Westcontinued, marching into a political quagmire where he asked the crowd who voted for Clinton and who voted for Trump, only to point out that he doesnt actually care who anyone voted for.

One brave Twitter user relayed much of Wests rant in real-time, as the performer slowly moved the conversation from the 2016 election to 2020:

"Echoing is what made people think Hillary was going to win, you thought because what the Internet was telling you, that she was gonna win"

"Rappers are philosophers of our now, celebrities are the influencers of our now, just look at the president, he wasn"t in politics & won"

Raptor (@RaptorJesuss) November 18, 2016

Kanye just said he thinks he"ll have the experience in 2020 to run for office, I"m dead serious, Kanye just said he"s preparing for 2020.

Eventually, a portion of the audience began to grow tired of the political talk, and it got to the point where West found himself at the receiving end of random objects thrown from the crowd.

Kanye just stopped Jesus Walks, talking about how Trump is a genius.

Someone threw something at Kanye that hit him, he"s now threatening to cancel the show. "Am I not allowed to have an opinion?"

Raptor (@RaptorJesuss) November 18, 2016

The concert didnt carry on much longer, as both West and the audience had seemingly had as much as they could stand.

Kanye then says "Neither candidate would fix racism in this country" Walks off stage, end of concert. WOW.

Raptor (@RaptorJesuss) November 18, 2016

West has been teasing a 2020 presidential run for some time, having tweeted about it several times during the lead-up to the election and afterwards. Its easy to brush it all off as entertainment, but if you rewind the clock four years the same is largely true for Donald Trump. At this point in American politics its abundantly clear that literally anything can happen.

Alfred Enoch Reveals How He Truly Feels About Being Killed Off How To Get Away With Murder

How to Get Away with Murder: Alfred Enoch

Admittedly, Im still in the first stage of grief (denial) after watching the season finale of How to Get Away with Murder. However, it really seems like beloved main character, Wes, was the one #UnderTheSheet.

Since the beginning of season three, fans have wondered which character died in the fire. Every episode revealed a new character we thought was safe. However, never trust Shonda Rhimes, and unfortunately Wes was killed off. And if that wasnt shocking enough, he may have been murdered!

Alfred Enoch portrayed Wes and has made the media rounds discussing the death of his character. He appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after HTGAWM aired.

Entertainment Weekly was on set during filming of the winter finale episode to get Enochs immediate reaction.

Here are a few snippets from the interview:

EW: When did you find out that it was going to be Wes under the sheet?ENOCH: A couple of weeks ago, maybe a month ago.

EW: Was this all Pete Nowalks (HTGAWM creator) decision, or was there a desire from you to do something else?Enoch: Oh, as in was I like, You have to kill Wes? This is ultimately the question, right? No. The decision was creative.

EW: What was your reaction when Pete called you up to the office to tell you?Enoch: Yeah, I get it. I was thinking about it obviously, because they set up this big mystery, and I was like, Oh, theyre going to kill Wes. That makes sense. I thought they were maybe going to kill Wes the end of last season, because theres so much story, and they go through it so fast Im like, What have we seen about Michaela? Weve done so much Wes story. Itll be interesting, itll be good, theyll be able to do something else.

EW: Was it hard coming to work every week not knowing who was going to be under the sheet?Enoch: It was tricky, yeah. I mean, I was like, Its not my decision. Theres nothing I can do about it, so Ill just wait and see. But I was thinking it would be Wes initially. I guess everyone was like, Oh, its going to be me, but then Aja said something interesting, which actually diverted my thinking about that. She said, It cant be Wes, because I think its in the second episode, we see something directly after Annalise cries and is upset at who she sees is under the sheet I havent seen it but directly after that moment she, in the following episode, is revealed to go straight to Oliver and be like, Wipe the phone, which implied that it was an act, we all thought. Maybe that was the initial idea they were going on.

EW: We do learn that Wes was dead before the house exploded. Who do you think is to blame for Wess death? Do you have a theory?Enoch: I think it looks like the shadowy Mahoney, borderline legal, borderline crime organization, would be a very possible topic. But I dont know. They could be like, Its Frank!

EW: Annalise did call all the students to her house right before the fire.Enoch: Yes. I would be very surprised if Annalise kills Wes before the fire.

You can read Entertainment Weeklys interview and Enochs answers in full on their website. You can also read their interview with HTGAWM creator Peter Nowalk. The next issue of Entertainment Weekly will also have a behind-the-scenes look into the winter finale episode.

Though Wes is dead, the character will continue to appear on the hit show for now. The burning question for the second half of the season will be Who killed Wes?

How to Get Away with Murder returns Jan. 19, but wewill most likely have to say goodbye to Wes for good by seasons end.

Luke Kuechly"s injury casts shadow over Panthers" big win

Panthers Luke Kuechly Injury, Starts a crying God bless thanks for watching Prayers up

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A mixture of tears and sweat poured down the face of Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly as he was carted off the field with a potential concussion late in the fourth quarter of Thursday nights win against New Orleans.

He looked dazed.

Scared.

Teammates looked the same as they watched the 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year disappear into the tunnel at Bank of America Stadium, struggling to breathe as he fought back emotion.

"You could see it on his face that he was pretty visibly upset," tight end Greg Olsen said after Carolinas 23-20 victory.

The season that began with the fear of being defined by the "Super Bowl hangover" all of a sudden is being defined by head injuries.

Kuechly, who is in the concussion protocol, could be the sixth Carolina player to suffer a concussion this season. Left tackle Michael Oher has missed seven games with one and there is no sign of when he will return.

Quarterback Cam Newton missed a Week 5 game against Tampa Bay. Backup safety and special teams ace Colin Jones has missed the past two games. Outside linebacker A.J. Klein missed Thursdays game.

Cornerback Daryl Worley might have missed a game with one had Carolina not had a bye the week after he suffered his in Week 6 in New Orleans.

Concussions are scary because so much is unknown about them. The Saints put starting cornerback P.J. Williams on injured reserve in September three days after he was carted off with a concussion.

Former Carolina middle linebacker Dan Morgan missed the final 15 games of the 2006 season with what was believed to be at least his fifth concussion.

Once youve had one concussion, according to medical experts, there is a higher risk that you will have another.

This would be Kuechlys second concussion in two years. He missed three games last season after suffering one late in the first quarter of the opener at Jacksonville.

Cornerback Kurt Coleman said the way Kuechly reacted when New Orleans running back Tim Hightower lowered his helmet into the middle linebackers facemask and chest was reminiscent of that hit.

Kuechly was hit so hard that he was pushed back into the path of outside linebacker Thomas Davis, whose helmet glanced off his teammates helmet.

It was such a somber sight as Kuechly laid motionless on the turf with team doctors evaluating him that Saints safety Roman Harper, who played for the Panthers in 2014 and "15, came to check on him.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees told Kuechly he was praying for him as the three-time Pro Bowl selection left the field.

"He is maybe, certainly one of the best football players Ive ever seen -- ever played against," Brees said.

That the Panthers hung on to win 23-20 to keep their slim playoff hopes alive at 4-6 with six games remaining seemed less significant because of what happened not only to Kuechly, but center Ryan Kalil (shoulder) and defensive end Mario Addison (foot).

Kalil and Addison left the game earlier with injuries and did not return. Their status for Carolina"s Nov. 27 game in Oakland remains uncertain.

But what is certain is its hard to imagine the Panthers making a playoff push without Kuechly. Hes had more tackles (693) than any NFL player since entering the league as a first-round pick out of Boston College in 2012.

He already had a season-high 14 tackles Thursday to give him a team-leading 102 this season before leaving the game.

If outside linebacker Davis is the heart of the defense, Kuechly is the soul.

His last words to teammates before leaving the field were to "keep fighting."

"Luke is a fighter," Coleman said. "Thats why we fight for each other."

This isnt to suggest the Panthers cant win without Kuechly. They beat Houston, New Orleans and Tampa Bay without him a year ago, with Klein taking over in the middle.

But with a young secondary, as much as it has improved during the past month, Carolina still needs Kuechlys experience and ability to make plays that others simply cant.

"Thats our leader, one of the key components of our team," fullback Mike Tolbert said.

The blank stare Kuechly had as he left the field wasnt much different than the look on the faces of many of his teammates in the locker room afterward. The next-man-up mantra was repeated throughout, but there is no next man on the roster as good as Kuechly.

Not even close.

Thats why the winning locker room didnt look much different than the losing locker room in terms of the mood.

"You just hope hes OK more than anything," Olsen said. "When he comes back is out the window."

Donald Trump Selects Senator Jeff Sessions for Attorney General

WASHINGTON President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Senator Jeff Sessions, a conservative from Alabama who became a close adviser after endorsing him early in his campaign, to be the attorney general of the United States, according to officials close to the transition.

Mr. Sessions was also under consideration for secretary of defense, creating debate within the Trump transition team over which job he should fill.

Graphic Donald Trump Is Choosing His Cabinet. Heres the Latest Shortlist.

A list of possibilities for key posts in the new administration.

Mr. Sessions, a former prosecutor elected to the Senate in 1996, serves on the Judiciary Committee and has opposed immigration reform as well as bipartisan proposals to cut mandatory minimum prison sentences.

While Mr. Sessions is well liked in the Senate, his record as United States attorney in Alabama in the 1980s is very likely to become an issue for Democrats and civil rights groups expected to give it close scrutiny.

While serving as a United States prosecutor in Alabama, Mr. Sessions was nominated in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan for a federal judgeship. But his nomination was rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee because of racially charged comments and actions. At that time, he was one of two judicial nominees whose selections were halted by the panel in nearly 50 years.

Map: The Two Americas of 2016

In testimony before the committee, former colleagues said that Mr. Sessions had referred to the N.A.A.C.P., the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and other civil rights groups as un-American and Communist-inspired. An African-American federal prosecutor then, Thomas H. Figures, said Mr. Sessions had referred to him as boy and testified that Mr. Sessions said the Ku Klux Klan was fine until I found out they smoked pot. Mr. Sessions dismissed that remark as a joke.

Mr. Sessions was also accused of speaking disparagingly of the Voting Rights Act and the stringent oversight it placed on Southern states.

Mr. Sessions, who was elected attorney general of Alabama in 1995, has long considered it a personal triumph that he was able to be elected to the Senate in 1997 and become a member of the panel that rejected his nomination to become a federal judge.

Travis Kelce details his towel-throwing ejection: "I can"t say it"s priceless. It"s $25000"

Travis Kelce 2015 Ultimate Highlights ᴴᴰ

By: Andrew Joseph| November 15, 2016 8:01 pmFollow @andyj0seph

Remember when Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce got so mad at an official for missing a pass interference call that he threw his towel at the officialand got himself ejected? Who could forget.

Kelce was apologetic after the incident, but it still resulted in a $24,309 fine. Hes now at the point where he can look back and laugh.

In an interview on The Rich Eisen Show, Kelces run-in with the official immediately came up. Kelce offered to give a detailed breakdown on what happened, and nobody was going to turn that offer down.

Kelce said:

He looks me dead in my eyes, and he starts to turn and walk away as Im walking towards him, asking him, What did he see? How did he not call that? Youll see me on the video of me waving my hand across my face, going and circling my ear saying, Hey, you didnt see it? What? You cant hear me? Then I gave him a suggestion that he didnt like. He threw his flag while my back was turned to him As Im walking back to the huddle, now, he has the confidence to throw the flag while Im not looking, and that just got the temperature going even more. It got everything out of whack and I knew I had a towel in the back of my hip. And you know what, it was just history from there.

Watching the video is priceless, man. Well, I cant say its priceless. Its $25,000 worth.

Heres that video:

Hey, for something as harmless as throwing a towel, Kelce certainly got his moneys worth.
