Tila Tequila, the former reality show figure is apparently really into this alt-right thing.
Like really into it.
This is Tila Tequila’s actual Twitter cover photo right now.
As the Daily Beast points out, perhaps Tequila was the highest profile “celebrity” that the alt-right could come up with at its weekend conference in Washington, D.C.
“I went full circle from the liberal stuff, and all that…I wouldn’t want my daughter growing up in that,” Tequila said to the The Daily Beast at the conference. “I’m becoming more conservative ever since I became a mother,” she continued. “I wouldn’t want porn all over the internet [for instance]…Law and order, I think that’s very important to have. Most people are so used to being all about their ‘freedom,’ so they becomes these little crybabies. They can’t live by laws and rules. Civilization needs to be civilized.”
The conference was attended by a few hundred mostly white men.
Tequila’s support for the alt-right shouldn’t be totally shocking to us though. This is the same person that Instagramed out a picture of her baby wearing a Hitler mustache.

Live Bloggers:
CB- Chris Beacham
JF- Jeffrey Fernandez
RR- Rich Robinson
Loading ... Loading ...RR 11:02 PM: My rankings: 1. O’Malley 2. Clinton 3. Sanders
RR 10:53 PM: This debate will fade from memory very quickly. Good for Hillary.
RR 10:52 PM: Liked Hillary’s closing. Wrapped it up with a nice bow and made it clear that she is still teflon.
CB 10:51PM: “Heard a lot about me in this debate”-Clinton. Oh please, give me a break. Cheap shot
RR 10:47PM: @CB: I miss Jim Webb.
CB 10:47PM: Lincoln Chaffey randomly walks on the stage and just smiles at everyone in silence.
RR 10:46 PM: Clinton/ Trivalgo guy 2016
JF 10:41 PM: A single-payer system for healthcare is probably the best the solution to universal healthcare.
CB 10:40PM: @RR That makes sense. He probably does do it too much
CB 10:38PM: Free community college, and debt free college sounds reasonable. Clinton had best answer.
RR 10:36 PM: @CB you mentioned this earlier but.. O’Malley constantly going back to Maryland record is bad advice he is getting. He should touch on it but stay in the future. Otherwise, it sounds like he is saying that “Maryland is a wonderland”, which we know is not true.
CB 10:35PM: Anytime people ask Bernie where the money will come from, he always goes” uh….”
CB 10:33PM: The question is: is campus activism justified? As long as reporters have their first amendment rights, which are not infringed upon by vultures like Melissa Click.
RR 10:31 PM: University of Missouri question! Amazing how big that story got. Not to gloat, but Rise News interviewed the leader of the protest movement a full week before national media caught on.
RR 10:29 PM: O’Malley said that BlackLivesMatters. That is a good soundbite for him.
JF 10:28 PM: Will the topic of Clinton’s email ever die down? Yes, asking questions about the scandal is important. But haven’t the questions already been answered?
RR 10:26 PM: @CB agreed. Waste of time.
RR 10:24 PM: Sanders bashes “media” for twisting his words about whether he thinks that Clinton’s email scandal is a big deal. Not sure that is true Bernster.
CB 10:20PM: @RR At Disneyworld, Toontown is out. Kind of like Atlantic City after Trump.
RR 10:19 PM: @JF that was grade A website plugging by him.
JF 10:19 PM: Best donation advertising goes to Martin O’Malley
RR 10:19 PM: Wall Street. The most depressing section of Magic Kingdom.. other than that Toontown thing.
CB 10:18PM: Got to protect Main Street from Wall Street. If not, how else will you get to Cinderella Castle and Adventureland.
RR 10:18 PM: O’Malley trying to take away the Wall Street attack from Sanders as both label Clinton as “candidate of Wall Street.” Red meat for the Dem base.
RR 10:15 PM: Sanders trying to keep nice with Clinton but can’t help the attacks. Can someone say conflicted?
CB 10:15PM: Sanders making sure Clinton knows he’s not shouting at her. She took that after the last debate and shamelessly ran with it.
CB 10:14 PM: @JF There’s your attack on Clinton’s position changes.
RR 10:13 PM: Sanders attacking O’Malley on his record as Mayor of Baltimore in terms of safety. The opposition research is starting to bubble to the top.
RR 10:13 PM: O’Malley attacking Hillary and calling her “Annie Oakley” because of gun positions.
JF 10:12 PM: The candidates have made a drastic switch from occasionally supporting each other’s policies in the previous debate to attacking one another.
CB 10:11 PM: Clinton: “92% of Americans think we need universal background check.” Lets get a background check on this statement.
RR 10:10 PM: The Wall Street back and forth the moment of the debate so far. Hillary stood her ground but she needs to get a better line than that 9/11 quip. Truth is that she will not have to talk about this after primary.
JF 10:06PM: Shouldn’t Hillary Clinton’s integrity be questioned considering the amount of times she’s changed her position?
CB 10:06PM: I don’t think Wall Street has been mentioned in the last two GOP debates…am I wrong?
RR 10:06 PM: Hillary using Wall Street 9/11 connection really dodges what Bernie was driving about.
RR 10:05 PM: Hillary strong on this rebut on Bernie.
CB 10:05PM: Great, here’s Hillary’s gender card.
CB 10:05PM: Glass Steagall…the hottest thing since Supergirl
JF 10:03PM Bernie Sanders response to Clinton’s economic plan: “It’s not good enough.”
RR 10:03 PM: Woah Bernie on the attack now. Says Hillary’s explanations to ties with Wall Street is not good enough.
CB 10:01PM: Wall Street 2: Bernie Never Sleeps. Unlike Carson
RR 10:00 PM: Welcome @JF to the second hour of the debate!
RR 9:59 PM: Alan Grayson, Dem candidate for Senate in Florida had an ad during the local slot in Miami market. Taking credit for getting Kevin McCarthy out of speaker race.
RR 9:55 PM: Hillary getting boxed out of some of these questions. Not sure it matters though.
CB 9:55PM: O’Malley to every question: “We did this”.
RR 9:49 PM: Always feel like Trivago guy is trying to flirt with me.
CB 9:49 PM: I really don’t like the Trivago commercial guy.
RR 9:48 PM: @CB Of course that is a big concern to be sure. But I think that ISIS will be able to get in the US one way or the other. We probably hurt ourselves more in the eyes of the world by not allowing people in.
CB 9:47PM: Just to clarify, I think we should take refugees. Number is debatable.
CB 9:47 PM: @RR On refugee response- Would you be worried of ISIS plants within that population? Screenings possibly insufficient?
RR 9:45 PM: Interestingly it is Hillary who is trying to poke Sanders and make their differences known. You would think it would be the other way around.
RR 9:44 PM: @CB: oh yeah. If Bama was playing right now, I would not be watching this.
CB 9:43PM: @RR Sanders kind of had a moment.
RR 9:42 PM: @CB previous question: I think that 100,000 refugees would be a reasonable number. America is a big country that has the systems to make it work.
RR 9:38 PM: So far, no big moments in the debate. If it ended now, nobody would remember this happened tomorrow.
RR 9:26 PM: The flubs on the “radical Islam” question has to due to with the fact that Democrats have the burden of being the party in power.
RR 9:22 PM: O’Malley coming across very strongly tonight. Presidential even.
CB 9:21PM: This is not Sanders’ strong suit. Reportedly one of his aides threw a fit because of the topic change of the debate.

10 Things You Learned In High School That You Never Need In College
By Taylor Neuman
Remember when you were in high school and you’d moan and groan to your teachers about how you’d never use what they were teaching you?
Well you were right. Sort of, anyway.
As this list can attest to, a large chunk of things we learned in high school become pretty irrelevant after we graduate.
10) Learning How To Climb The Rope In Gym Class
Gym class was always fun, it was your time to get away from all those hard math and English classes. There is one thing I will never understand though, why was it so important for us to learn how to climb a rope? Did they think we’d have ropes just hanging from the balconies of our college classes? Or did they assume we’d be studying in the middle of a jungle? I never have once climbed a rope in my 3 years of college, and I do not plan on it.
9) Dissecting A Frog

When was the last time you dissected a frog in college? I can’t remember a time I’d even want to let alone be forced to. In high school it mas mandatory you learned how to dissect a frog, a worm, a pig and even a cat… BUT WHY!? (Zip it up biology majors.)
8) Locker Combinations
Lockers were a hassle, either they were too small and you’d have to learn how to fit everything in it or after a long break you’d forget your combination. Cleaning them out at the end of the year was a scary experience because you never remembered what was behind all those books. In college, lockers are non-existent and aren’t we happy about that?
7) Dress Code
This was always an issue, especially for girls. You couldn’t wear sleeveless shirts and your shorts and skirts had to be three finger lengths above your knee. I remember measuring my outfits every morning to make sure I wasn’t going to get detention for having my skirt too short. After college it’s a free for all, wear whatever you want with absolutely no consequences. (Except for the scorn of your classmates)
6) Memorizing Romeo and Juliet
Memorizing Romeo and Juliet and then reciting it in a British accent was a joke, I swear they just made us learn it to embarrass us and get some entertainment out of it. It’s so cruel and yet looking back it’s just too hilarious.
5) Learning How To Play The Recorder
What was the teacher’s thought process when deciding that it was necessary we learned how to play a recorder? Why didn’t we learn the flute, trumpet or drums? The recorder is probably one of the most useless instruments there are and to be honest they don’t sound too pretty either. Actually, I don’t think it is possible to play the recorder well.
4) Memorizing The Periodic Table
Have you ever just sat in your apartment one day and wondered what the atomic number for Argon is? NO, you never have because you are a normal human being. Memorizing the periodic table is as useless as using an umbrella when it’s sunny out.
3) Learning How To Spell Words Out On The Calculator
Remember when you’d sit math so confused and bored out of your minds you’d try anything to keep yourself entertained? We all have tried to spell things on our calculators; I probably learned how to come up with more words on my calculator than actual math problems. Thanks Algebra for teaching me how to spell Boobs with numbers.
2) Knowing All The Dinosaur Names
It’s funny how we spend so much time in High School learning different dinosaur names when they’re extinct. I can’t remember the last time I was looking out my window and spotted a T-Rex… I barely know my friends dog breeds.
1) Selling Coupon Books
These were annoying too. Photo Credit: Howard Lake/ Flickr (CC By 2.0)
The thought of selling coupon books makes me cringe even now. I can say I’m honestly glad that it is completely out of the picture in college. The only coupon book you use in college is the kind the happy orientation people hand you at the start of the year. You know what I’m taking about- the one with about 75 free pizzas from Hungry Howies in it.

#BamaSits: Alabama Students Sit During Protest Of National Anthem
At least a few dozen University of Alabama students sat during the playing of the national anthem before the kickoff of the Alabama-Texas A&M game Saturday afternoon.
Some of the students participating in the #BamaSits protest held signs calling for racial justice in the United States.
Other students tried to block the #BamaSits protest by standing in front of the seated demonstrators.

Some students, including UA students expressed support for the protest on social media.
To the people who’ve shown support, I love y’all til the end. To those on the fence, I don’t know how much more I can do #bamasits https://t.co/3EgXzBavJg

So proud to see #bamasits at the game bringing attention to injustice not only at UA but in our country.

How much proof would you like? We have plenty. #ExhibitA #BamaSits pic.twitter.com/W5DV6QQ41l

Just imagine if Bama fans were as unanimous in their support of equality and justice. #BamaSits #BamaStands
— Seth Bordner (@SocratesofSport) October 22, 2016
I can believe Alabama fans aren’t receptive to the idea of racial equality… #TAMUvsBAMA #Bamasits
— Konway Tweety (@KonwayTweety) October 22, 2016
But not everyone was happy with the protest.
#bamasits I blame the parents for these disrespectful kids.
— OneShot (@mfleenor9) October 22, 2016
#bamasits is a bunch of whiney uneducated children who are puppets being used by the media and liberals to push a dividing agenda.
