Bey is the latest celebrity to encourage fans to vote, but she has upset some followers with the timing of her Election Day message.
The popular singer shared a post on Instagram endorsing Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke, who is running for Senate in her home state of Texas. On Tuesday, Beyoncé posted about how grateful she was to be politically active.
“We can’t voice our frustrations and complain about what’s wrong without voting and exercising our power to make it right. We need you,” she wrote, adding, “Every vote counts.”
Some people liked her message, but others not so much after she posting Tuesday evening, a little after 5 p.m. local time in Texas.
“R u kidding with this timing,” one person commented, while another wrote, “Really bey, you endorse him now … THREE HOURS BEFORE THE POLLS CLOSE!”
“WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!?!” added someone else.
Another person shared, “Soooo why didn’t you post this…literally any time sooner than right before the polls close? What a wasted effort. Your voice could’ve been exponentially more impactful on this election.”
However, there were some that came to her defense, with one person explaining, “She didn’t have to post at all lol chill.” Another wrote: “Y’all are ungrateful and raggedy. FOR REAL. Y’all can go to hell for trying to make this woman feel bad for doing good. STRAIGHT. TO. HELL.”
Although Beyoncé may not have specifically endorsed Beto O’Rourke ahead of Tuesday’s election, it was pretty much a given that she would never have thrown her support behind Ted Cruz. She has always made her political stance very clear and remains close with the Obama’s.
For what it’s worth, O’Rourke approved of Beyoncé’s endorsement, timing and all.
Is Kanye finally ready to say goodbye to his problematic political endeavors and move on? Definitely sounds too good to be true, but is something I am sure many of us have been wanting since he announced he was a Donald Trump supporter.
The rapper, who just earlier this month attended a lunch with Donald Trump, announced Tuesday morning that he will be distancing himself from politics. In a series of tweets on Twitter, West explained that he had nothing to do with the constructing of the brand logo “blexit”, which encourages African Americans to leave the Democratic party.
The movement, which was originated by Candace Owens, was rumored to be a project created by the music mogul but Kanye has made it very clear that is not the case. West explained that “I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.”
According to The Guardian, Owens originally claimed that West created both the logo and the colors for the new brand, but soon after she insisted the brand was hers. She informed followers that “BLEXIT is a project that is mine entirely. I am blessed that Ye [West] introduced me to a designer who despite having totally different beliefs than me, helped me craft some beautiful letters that I used on the BLEXIT caps.” She further explained that “#BLEXIT is about the beautiful stories of so many black people who have awakened themselves to the possibilities of our future, as Americans. The press is trying to use Kanye’s name to create drama and further divisiveness which is WRONG.”
Over the past year West has continued to be on the forefront of criticism due to his political views and support of Trump. Maybe the break will allow the star to come to his senses and quit his bizarre behavior which has led to his critique and disapproval.

A number of suspicious packages were sent to prominent Democrats on Wednesday leaving the whole country on edge.
According to the FBI these packages were said to have contained “potentially destructive devices.” CBS has stated that the recipients of these mysterious packages were former President Obama, former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, former CIA Director John Brenan, whose package were sent to the New York City office of CNN, former Attorney General Eric Holder and Liberal Philanthropist George Soros. A package was also addressed to Democratic Rep Maxine Waters, but luckily her package had been intercepted by a House mail facility.
As of Thursday morning, NBC News has reported that packages containing the same pipe bomb were sent to former Vice President Joe Biden and Robert De Niro. These packages have also been intercepted.
Since the suspicious packages surfaced Wednesday morning the FBI have been tweeting a series of statements asking for informative tips about the packages and where they are coming from.
President Trump released a statement Wednesday evening at a “Make America Great Again Rally” promising to bring the suspects behind these suspicious packages to Justice. The President stated that his highest duty is to “keep America safe.” He announced that the federal government would be undergoing an aggressive investigation and that this has been “an attack on our democracy itself,” suggesting that all sides should “come together in peace and harmony.”
Vice President Mike Pence has also released a statement via twitter about the suspicious packages. He stated yesterday that “These cowardly actions are despicable & have no place in this Country.”
The recipients of these packages have also made statements about the packages that have been addressed to them. Democratic representative Maxine Waters of California has stated “I don’t know whether the bombs are real or not, but we should not crawl under the bed, close the doors, not go out, be afraid to go to rallies, whatever. We have to keep doing what we’re doing in order to make this country right.” She added “I ain’t scared.”
Hillary Clinton has also made a statement about the threat. “We are fine thanks to the men and women of the secret service who intercepted the package addressed to us long before it made its way to our home.” She added that “Everyday we are grateful for their service and commitment and obviously, never, never more than today, But it is a troubling time isn’t it? And it’s a time of deep divisions and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together.”
There is still more developing on this story as the investigation of where these packages are coming from continues.

The Titanic may have sank over 100 years ago but the stories of the individuals of the ship will as Celine Dion sings “go on and on”.
Plans have been put in place to allegedly reconstruct an identical copy of the original titanic. After the halt of the project back in 2015, Australian business man and politician, Clive Palmer, has announced that the project will resume. Palmer has stated that “the ship will follow the original journey, carrying passengers from Southampton to New York, but she will also circumnavigate the globe, inspiring and enchanting people while attracting unrivaled attention, intrigue and mystery in every port she visits.”
The ship will, of course, be rebuilt with special attention to the aspects that went wrong with the original Titanic. According to CNN, Titanic II will be outfitted with plenty of lifeboats, and will have a welded hull. The ship will also entail navigation and radar equipment that is modernized to better fit into this time period. CNN also reports that according to Blue Star Line, the ship will have 835 cabins which will accommodate 2,435 passengers. Tickets will be available for first, second, and third class purchase, similar to tickets sold when the original voyage took place.
It is said that China is also building their own version of the Titanic, which was reported in 2016. The Titanic II will be ready to sail as soon as 2022. In the meantime, there is an opportunity for tourists to take a dive into the ocean to view and examine the original titanic that sank back in 1912. CNN states that the American company OceanGate has scheduled diving trips for 2019 with pricing placed at $105,129 per person.

The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity at Clemson University got their annual homecoming party cut short when the floor decided to give way.
Luckily none of the injuries sustained were life threatening when the floor collapsed from the common area into the basement of the apartment complex located off campus. 23 people had to be taken to the hospital in result of the collapse. This gruesome event was caught on camera showing students plummet to the ground unexpectedly.
A few students were interviewed after the party giving a brief recollection of the events that had taken place prior to the collapse. Larissa Stone, interviewed by Greenville News told reporters that the beat had been about to drop when the floor collapsed. She explained that people were hurt and bleeding. “I had blood on my sneakers. It was really bad” she recalled.
Another student, Leroy Pearson, told a local news station that “Everybody was jumping, next thing you know… I can feel myself falling.” Pearson also told the channel that he blacked out and the girls at the party had blood all over their faces when he came to.
Jim Clements, Clemson University President, tweeted explaining that the entire student support system would be available for any students impacted by the traumatic event.
As for why the floor gave in, there is still no explanation. Police have started an investigation of Woodlands of Clemson University apartment complex, the location where the party took place which was just built in 2004.
If this doesn’t make you think twice when attending a college house party I don’t know what does. Thankfully all of the injuries were minor and no lives were lost, considering the outcome could have been a lot worse. Make sure you comment down below your thoughts and opinions on the topic.
