Ron DeSantis, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and members of the House from Florida were notified of the latest mass shooting.</div><div><br /></div><div>No. 104.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>The Jacksonville Beach Police Department continues to investigate shootings that led to one person being killed and 3 others injured on Sunday night.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>The first shooting was reported at 7:50 p.m. when two people started firing guns near the Best Western Hotel, Jacksonville Beach police said on Monday.</div><div><br /></div><div>One bystander was injured and both suspects were injured, police said.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>At 8:13 p.m., a man fired shots while running in front of businesses, police said. No one was hurt, police said.</div><div><br /></div><div>The gun was recovered but police said they are still looking for the suspect.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>One person was killed in the third shooting, which unfolded around 8:31 p.m. near Sneakers Bar, police said.</div><div><br /></div><div>Authorities said they are looking for three suspects who displayed guns.</div><div><br /></div><div>The downtown district and bar area and the Jacksonville Beach beachfront have been "locked down," and will remain shut down until further notice, Sgt. Tonya Tator told reporters Sunday night.</div><div><br /></div><div>"We've got a lot of work ahead of us to figure out everything, put all the pieces together," she said.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>The shootings caused panic in the city’s downtown area as many people were out at the bars celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Jacksonville Beach Mayor Chris Hoffman spoke with Action News Jax’s Jake Stofan about safety in the city in the wake of the shootings and during the spring break season.</div><div><br /></div><div>“This is senseless violence multiple times over, which is not something that we routinely see here in Jacksonville Beach. So I do want to reassure people that this is a safe community,” Hoffman said.</div><div><br /></div><div>She said it’s about ensuring the safety of residents as well as visitors.</div><div><br /></div><div>“We are a place where people come, you know, to have fun and to play, but we have a residents community, we live and work here as well. So we want to just make sure that we can ensure that everyone who comes out here safe and has an enjoyable time as they visit Jacksonville Beach,” Hoffman said.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>The state of Florida is the place where Americans go for rest and relaxation. A little party, a few drinks and a whole lot of entertainment. But with alcohol, drugs, egos and a sense of invincibility, people develop violent reactions. And in an open carry, stand your ground, lackluster accountability state like Florida, many Americans are destined to die from either gun violence, alligator attacks, the coronavirus, murder Asian hornets, hurricanes and tornadoes.</div><div><br /></div>Mass shootings are common in the United States. Of course, Republicans refuse to stop gun violence by claiming that it interferes with the Second Amendment. They seriously believe that American gun violence is only plagued to Black and Brown communities.<div><br /></div><div>They advocate for white men, white women and white children to have firearms.</div><div><br /></div><div>They condemn or denounce Black, Hispanic, Muslim and immigrants having access to firearms.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9KhadvQCIwikASPjMMQBLl3as5aB1DjO5Lqp8hMJoX7geIbkH10jt3-wc1XF1AJqtm-PybE2QPrUWiq4HmCNZPgCpFD6xraxiC2iqb4fY1Tj_v3tK2IgxIui4yCkjkBSBoYfDH1RtL5D6w2QXxfcTJ1SmsKLyLSvtZm1C3q2BW4lpEti6WgghrA/s300/images%20(4).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9KhadvQCIwikASPjMMQBLl3as5aB1DjO5Lqp8hMJoX7geIbkH10jt3-wc1XF1AJqtm-PybE2QPrUWiq4HmCNZPgCpFD6xraxiC2iqb4fY1Tj_v3tK2IgxIui4yCkjkBSBoYfDH1RtL5D6w2QXxfcTJ1SmsKLyLSvtZm1C3q2BW4lpEti6WgghrA/w400-h224/images%20(4).jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Vacationers flee.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Cops are quick to shoot people of color 85% of the time when they have firearms.

A problem that never seems to be solved through federal legislation and state legislation. According to the Republican Party, National Rifle Association, Gun Owner's of America, some Democrats and extremists love the Second Amendment. Of course, they want to silence dissent when it comes to stopping gun violence and opposition to Israel's genocide in Palestine. There's Russia invading Ukraine and the crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These issues won't change the mind of Republicans and some Democrats. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>It's important to keep the pressure on these lawmakers.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div>Republicans will say "Now it's not the time to talk about gun violence."<br /><div><br /></div></div><div><div>These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. <b><span style="color: red;">Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div>I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. </div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: blue;"><span style="color: white;"><b>THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES.

Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.</p></div><div style="color: black;">2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.<p></p><p>3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.</p><p>4. Realize - Mind you, that the types of firearms used by shooter are based on capacity which limits the time of reaction. As with rule 3, you have only less than a second to make a reaction when the shooter is set on sights. So there's no real solution to save your life in the event of an active shooter. The best thing to do is understand, that anywhere in the United States could be a target of a mass shooting. Congress isn't doing a damn thing about it.</p><p></p><div><div>The far right often infiltrate protests and cause chaos to paint progressives protests as violent. Even when the far right attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, they believed that far left members infiltrated the mob. Ignore the fact that Donald J. Trump and his allies urged the supporters to come, called for them to protest and told them to not show weakness.</div><div><br /></div><div>According to the <u>far right</u>: <span style="color: red; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals and thugs. Gay shooters are active groomers. Arab and Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. Whataboutism is on full display when mass shootings happen and the calls for gun control grow. They say a white person should "protect" themselves from protesters and the use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and the use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black. Social media is a driving factor to how these callous individuals think. They soon become a possible mass shooter.</span></div></div><div><br /></div><div>The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, X and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><div><div>Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRA8177XFBHZkDLIRB350dgwbXUSZLKxJt-lvlBRWldNCAgjy2-YSHTiPErm2OZHiiatrelq494ZZHDAfMde0Tpv3MRUoBVmVNymar3Blo2JeM-PcT7ZUkAdEckY9BSPMvchkJwDqZV6RpXQTHaKaVwK9gCR-1drXxGz2eOrhnwuz-ImvRq-o6ZQ/s300/images%20(3).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRA8177XFBHZkDLIRB350dgwbXUSZLKxJt-lvlBRWldNCAgjy2-YSHTiPErm2OZHiiatrelq494ZZHDAfMde0Tpv3MRUoBVmVNymar3Blo2JeM-PcT7ZUkAdEckY9BSPMvchkJwDqZV6RpXQTHaKaVwK9gCR-1drXxGz2eOrhnwuz-ImvRq-o6ZQ/w400-h224/images%20(3).jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jacksonville Sheriff Office is putting an end to Spring Break.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />You're not safe at home, in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the local parade, the protest rally, the beach, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the road trip, the natural disasters, the state/federal buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events, the homeless shelter and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.</div></div><div><br /></div></div><div><div><div><div><div>Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.</div><div><br /></div><div>Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.</div></div></div><div><br /></div></div><div><div>I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.</div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div>President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.</div><div><br /></div></div><div><div>The National Rifle Association is always pushing against gun control. They will not relinquish from the narrative. These guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the streets but balk at the fact Blacks obtain them. It makes no sense.</div><div><div><br /></div><div><div>So in closing, expect more.</div><div><br />The website <a href="http://odmp.org/">Officer Down</a> is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media.

You see if Alexandra Tara Reade ever gotten her law certificate to be an attorney, she would know legalities of suing the federal government from a foreign country. If you are suing the federal government, you must appear in the court. She won't do it. Reade believes her life is in danger. </div><div><br /></div><div>How can her life be in danger?</div><div><br /></div><div>The U.S. government isn't placing her on a high value target arrest. Maybe its because of her open association with convicted spy Maria Butina. I strongly believe that Butina snitched on Reade. </div><div><br /></div><div>Reade is too damn stupid to realize that her associates were on William Barr's radar.</div><div><br /></div><div>She claims that the FBI and Department of Justice were watching her in 2019. She claims that the current president, Joe Biden had instigated the investigation. What makes her claims of being a whistleblower and a victim bogus is the fact that she won't sue Bidem, she won't appear in federal or civil court and she literally begged for Russian citizenship.</div><div><br /></div><div>What irks me is that Reade decided in 2019 and 2020 to make an accusation against Biden when he decided to run for president for the third time. Reade did not being these allegations up when Biden ran for the Senate. She never brought up these allegations when he ran in 2007 for president. She didn't bring these up when Biden was picked as Barack Obama's running mate. She didn't bring it up when then president Obama and then vice president Biden were running in 2012.</div><div><br /></div><div>Reade would also make a decision to "defect" to Russia. </div><div><br /></div><div><div>Tara Reade claims that she was sexually victimized by Biden in 1993. Her claims were not suppressed by congressional investigators. No one is protecting Biden. Since she does not have any complaint forms, she makes a claim that Biden's records are being sealed to give more suspicion and confusion. When Reade spoke out as Biden was declaring his presidency in 2019, she was immediately subjected to an ongoing FBI Operation. Reade openly associates with Maria Butina. It gave the FBI a reason. If she was under surveillance, wiretaps, and a possible indictment, it is not harassment. In Spring 2023, Reade claims a U.S. lawmaker [uh, a Russian operative] tipped her off to her impending arrest. She claims that she was preparing to testify before the Republican House committee on weaponization of the FBI. Reade chose to flee for asylum in Russia; a country that does not extradite to the United States.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisY6ndbjXw1NwKuS90keLXJ-qLtRl68hjjO9z3wckL4e6UDJ3_HkCsvjrSCdk6dVmyTPexj_s8M-BCv4CSV5jJVsvWNCjTJKvqsW366QjIcHFL-EdigsAn09rSu3bobyA07-9j0hXyoFZCqfX-YCVwOpQfMMNRoVeMky8cI1xTBUotqBXp09zWJA/s1884/Screenshot_20240316-233351_Chrome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1884" data-original-width="1199" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisY6ndbjXw1NwKuS90keLXJ-qLtRl68hjjO9z3wckL4e6UDJ3_HkCsvjrSCdk6dVmyTPexj_s8M-BCv4CSV5jJVsvWNCjTJKvqsW366QjIcHFL-EdigsAn09rSu3bobyA07-9j0hXyoFZCqfX-YCVwOpQfMMNRoVeMky8cI1xTBUotqBXp09zWJA/w255-h400/Screenshot_20240316-233351_Chrome.jpg" width="255" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The grift continues.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Reade will continue an endless parade of disinformation.

Such acts are incredibly risky since interfering with elections is punishable by up to five years in prison.</p><p>The election holds little suspense since Putin, 71, is running for his fifth term virtually unchallenged. His political opponents are either in jail or in exile; Navalny, the fiercest of them, died in an Arctic penal colony last month.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s monitors were not invited, and only registered candidates or state-backed advisory bodies can assign observers to polling stations, decreasing the likelihood of independent watchdogs. With balloting over three days in nearly 100,000 polling stations, any true oversight is difficult anyway.<p></p><p>“The elections in Russia as a whole are a sham. The Kremlin controls who’s on the ballot. The Kremlin controls how they can campaign. To say nothing of being able to control every aspect of the voting and the vote-counting process,” said Sam Greene, director for Democratic Resilience at the Center for European Policy Analysis in Washington.</p><p>Ukraine and the West have also condemned Russia for holding the vote in Ukrainian regions that Moscow’s forces have seized and occupied.</p><p>In many ways, Ukraine is at the heart of this election, political analysts and opposition figures say. They say Putin wants to use his all-but-assured electoral victory as evidence that the war and his handling of it enjoys widespread support.

The strategy was endorsed by Navalny not long before his death.</p><p>“We need to use election day to show that we exist and there are many of us, we are actual, living, real people and we are against Putin. ...

Instead of promoting the vote to ensure a desired turnout, authorities appear to be betting on pressuring voters they can control — for instance, Russians who work in state-run companies or institutions — to show up at the polls, the group said.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2oh_VUQuNijp4wtR0w9C67qeiL7CEfaIELjZGv4AXqHTnJOdpxhcrKE3Le3JP45kUkTzI1AQ0M3rIiUvlLCQDu5zXBO_GgaMZbhtd8FbpEkbLSyKrY69zMYq9DbsHHVZocfHcYcy94SoNOPqL7s-PxKOE1dqFR5xyQVoOPO9iremic595xfofoQ/s3078/180712110020-netanyahu-putin.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2279" data-original-width="3078" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2oh_VUQuNijp4wtR0w9C67qeiL7CEfaIELjZGv4AXqHTnJOdpxhcrKE3Le3JP45kUkTzI1AQ0M3rIiUvlLCQDu5zXBO_GgaMZbhtd8FbpEkbLSyKrY69zMYq9DbsHHVZocfHcYcy94SoNOPqL7s-PxKOE1dqFR5xyQVoOPO9iremic595xfofoQ/w400-h296/180712110020-netanyahu-putin.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Benjamin Netanyahu and Putin.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />The watchdog itself has been swept up in the crackdown: Its co-chair, Grigory Melkonyants, is in jail awaiting trial on charges widely seen as an attempt to pressure the group ahead of the election.<p></p><p>“The current elections will not be able to reflect the real mood of the people,” Golos said in the report. “The distance between citizens and decision-making about the fate of the country has become greater than ever.”</p><p>The U.S. Department of State had issued a Level 4 travel advisory for any American who decides to travel to the country.

Any American could be detained and imprisoned if they commit criminal acts.</p><p>The U.S. Embassy has been temporarily closed and there are travel sanctions on Russia imposed by many U.N. nations.</p><p>Russia instigated a war in eastern Ukraine and forcibly annexed three regions. It has been actively engaged in a strong offensive and the Ukrainians have lost some advantage thanks to the U.S. Congress refusal to assist in additional aid.</p><p>Yet, there is another conflict in the Asian region. The Israeli government led by Benjamin Netanyahu and Issac Herzog has implicated an expulsion program in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. They claim that the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas started a war which Israel vows to accomplish. They claim that over 200 hostages are still held in Gaza and the country must protect itself from Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. Yet, the war causalities are not adding up. Over 30,000 Palestinians are killed, about 5,000 Israeli soliders [minus the 1,200 "civilians"] killed. Israel claimed that Hamas targeted a music festival. Hamas disputes it. It said that it targeted occupation forces. </p><p>Russia has taken the side of Hamas and believes the U.S. government is a bunch of hypocrites. They want to punish Russia for war crimes but not Israel.</p><p>The U.S. also lost trust because of Israel. The United Nations is considering a change to its veto powers since the U.S. (being a permanent member) continuous objection to a majority consensus.</p><p>Russia is just as bad as Israel.

Israel has not provided any legitimate proof it has justified the assault on Gaza.</p><p>For one thing, Hamas is not raping women and there is no proof they done such a horrible act. It is part of the dehumanizing campaign Israel is promoting to influencers in the West. You see it when they are constantly deflecting from the images of Gaza being destroyed by American and European sponsored Israeli weapons. In their minds, they are justifying the brutal slaughter of children, women, journalists and doctors as collateral damage. Hamas stated the reasons for attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion or Iran. </p><p>Biden, Donald J. Trump, Republicans, Democrats and the American junk food media are on the wrong side of history.

But one thing is clear, President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump are the presumptive nominees.<p></p><p>While Biden and Trump were the last remaining major candidates for their parties’ 2024 presidential nominations, The Associated Press only uses the designation “presumptive nominee” once a candidate has captured the number of delegates needed to win a majority vote at the national party conventions this summer.</p><p>This is fourth time both Trump and Biden ran for president.</p><p>Trump ran in 2000 as a Reform Party candidate. He got out after Ralph Nader won the nomination.</p><p>Trump ran in 2016 as a Republican candidate, became the nominee and was elected as the 45th President of the United States. He ran as an incumbent and lost to Joe Biden. Now he is running as the Republican candidate and will be the nominee. If he wins, he will be the 47th President of the United States. He will be the second president since Grover Cleveland who won two terms as the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. He is the only president to be impeached twice, indicted for federal crimes, indicted for state crimes and found liable for sexual assault.</p><p>Biden ran in 1988 as a Democratic candidate. </p><p>Biden ran in 2008 as a Democratic candidate. He was picked as the vice presidential candidate for Barack Obama, the first African American to be a nominee on a national party ticket. Obama was elected to be the 44th President of the United States. Biden became the 47th Vice President of the United States. He served two terms as Obama's vice president. Obama is the only African American to become President of the United States.</p><p>Biden ran in 2020 as a Democratic candidate. He became the nominee and was elected as the 46th President of the United States. Biden, is the oldest president elected. He also picked the first woman as the vice presidential candidate. Kamala Harris is currently the first woman and first African American to be the 49th Vice President of the United States.</p><p>Biden and Trump are both running in 2024. Biden is an incumbent who will be the Democratic nominee. This both Biden and Trump's fourth run for president.</p><p>The recent results of Tuesday's primaries </p><p>Biden carried Northern Mariana Islands, Georgia, Mississippi and Washington. He also won the Democrats Abroad coalition.</p><p>Trump carried American Samoa, Georgia, Hawai'i, Mississippi and Washington.</p><p>Both have enough delegates to secure their nomination.</p><p>Biden will continue with Harris as his running mate.</p><p>Trump will not pick Mike Pence as his running mate. The 48th Vice President of the United States and former Indiana governor withdrew from the Republican presidential race early after he was polling below 2%. He is likely to endorse Trump despite his feud with his former boss.</p><p>A presidential candidate doesn’t officially become the Republican or Democratic nominee until winning the vote on the convention floor.</p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HPjeZ6FFPoE?si=2PrYtvWLkZLugHQI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p></p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F5d4MUjD13A?si=VPKUDh06Y2WLQj8L" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><p></p>The Blue Light Buzzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07004765122831264580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30048708.post-532980005051714282024-03-13T10:37:00.003-04:002024-03-13T10:37:32.293-04:00Ken Buck Out Fast!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjirWNPaAiQj7F4kus7UF8vXE5UOFBtJu4kx5q6euoR2bca0t61shAJJ_zP2xOlioPB6TfTCkWE3bBU_mHfYYKSayue2Zn1b35wDw8gVRs1A8-4m0sWcfkq8CD_kRuctZc-xvZ_g-ykaNAirsTIyXWhcziPRULDtjH8jQ3wp7kpZ8XtF6xCiLjBNQ/s1024/240312-ken-buck-1-ch-1406-a1c008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="1024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjirWNPaAiQj7F4kus7UF8vXE5UOFBtJu4kx5q6euoR2bca0t61shAJJ_zP2xOlioPB6TfTCkWE3bBU_mHfYYKSayue2Zn1b35wDw8gVRs1A8-4m0sWcfkq8CD_kRuctZc-xvZ_g-ykaNAirsTIyXWhcziPRULDtjH8jQ3wp7kpZ8XtF6xCiLjBNQ/w400-h200/240312-ken-buck-1-ch-1406-a1c008.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ken Buck's exit made Lauren Boebert's reelection chances slim to none.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />He did not endorse the insufferable Rep.

Her debut album, Born Gangstaz, reached number three on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in 1993. Her name is sometimes stylized as Bo$$.</p><p><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="152" loading="lazy" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/0g8tDKyvH9BwvRE0SnaMTU?utm_source=generator&theme=0" style="border-radius: 12px;" width="80%"></iframe></p><p></p><p>Laws was born in Detroit to Joe Laws, an autoworker, and Lillie, who took her master's degree in education, Detroit, and was a teacher at junior high and middle schools, formerly a teacher of business education at Lewis College of Business, Detroit. Her parents were both church deacons. She had two elder sisters. Laws relocated to Los Angeles after graduating high school, accompanied by her DJ Irene 'Dee' Moore. She was spotted by DJ Quik who stuck her on a track with AMG. Russell Simmons liked the track and promptly signed her to Def Jam West. Her debut album Born Gangstaz was released in 1993, and the singles, "Deeper" and "Recipe for a Hoe", hit number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart.</p><p>In 1994, Laws was interviewed by a reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who revealed that she grew up in a middle-class neighborhood (on the West Side, Detroit), studied ballet and piano, and attended Catholic private school (where she was a cheerleader), before majoring in business for two years at Oakland University. Laws had never attempted to disguise the truth of her upbringing; the intro of her 1993 album Born Gangstaz, "Intro: A Call from Mom", has her mother Lillie describe her as "a young lady who was brought up through Catholic school for 12 years; and dance schools, tap dance, jazz, piano lessons and all of that; plus, you went to college for three years..." "The album is, in fact, bracketed with a mockery of her rearing; phone messages from mama and papa particularizing a privileged suburban upbringing (Catholic-school, piano-playing, tap-dancing)" belying the record's "unyielding vulgarity and embroidered aggression" with a "brilliant... self-mocking disclaimer". Def Jef, who produced the album and suggested the inclusion of Laws's parents, observed, "I can't believe none of the reviews saw the irony of that. No one did!" Having left Detroit for south-side Los Angeles in 1990, Laws and Moore encountered its "squalid side... derelict hotels, feudal gangs, dealing and hustling". Prior to securing a record deal, they lived in poor circumstances, selling drugs, sleeping on benches, and living in low-rent hotels. Her parents were unaware of the lifestyle she was leading. In the wake of her first album, Laws and Moore stopped working together, Laws noting, "We couldn't work together anymore, but we were still cool"; Moore's Def Jam deal never came to anything.</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMPOvHhfUcKu44JzJuIOQ2NuH6uv19kFDeHHlWNGH6npj57u6zY22MrAoTIUjfCt7sPkEZiEavlhxfvtxGQaVILmSfHBHN2HVSBTCJgkknIckMq1FPZLnLJn2uEI7r0XWsjj7ZJt3OKtDe-xHWhQ0NtOqqNVCqbP_ZnrxJqZdEX02f-UfNO6tS1A/s588/10338694_10204442238485519_4631767342569199762_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="588" data-original-width="588" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMPOvHhfUcKu44JzJuIOQ2NuH6uv19kFDeHHlWNGH6npj57u6zY22MrAoTIUjfCt7sPkEZiEavlhxfvtxGQaVILmSfHBHN2HVSBTCJgkknIckMq1FPZLnLJn2uEI7r0XWsjj7ZJt3OKtDe-xHWhQ0NtOqqNVCqbP_ZnrxJqZdEX02f-UfNO6tS1A/w400-h400/10338694_10204442238485519_4631767342569199762_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Daz Dillenger and Bo$$.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />In the mid-1990s, Laws relocated to Texas to record songs with Ricardo Royal, a.k.a. "Coco Budda", a rapper whose work she had admired. Laws settled in Houston, entered a relationship with Royal, and had a son, Lamar. Although living a more relaxed life, Laws recorded demos for a second album, funded by Def Jam, but the label rejected them, and she was dropped from the label. Laws took this development in stride, noting, "I was used to that kind of shit... I thought I was good enough to get another deal. But I just chilled in Texas. Then I got sick." Still performing shows despite waning popularity in light of her lack of new releases, Laws moved to Dallas with Royal, where she took a job as co-host of a nightly hip-hop radio show on KKDA-FM, where she stayed for five years, recalling in 2004 "that was a bomb job". By 1999, she was suffering kidney failure; she and Royal amicably split up, and she went to live with her parents, undergoing dialysis for three and a half years, experiencing "every complication that you have with... bad kidneys", and given a poor prognosis. At times of comparatively better health, Laws recorded with Def Jef, who praised her dedication, lack of self-pity, and resolve in the face of her health problems. In 2001, she collaborated with Krayzie Bone on his album Thug On Da Line. In 2004, she released a mixtape titled The Six Million Dollar Mixtape produced by Def Jef. In 2004, Laws observed of her more recent work, "It's still hardcore... it's me. I've been through so much. I try to put a message in there, but it's not preachy shit." Def Jef claimed to have "shopped (Laws) to almost every major and indie label and met with resistance... People are always asking about how she looks, what her age is... it's never about the music. I'll work with Boss when she's 45 years old. She gave me a new perspective on women."</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Rapper Boss (name Lichelle Laws) is looking For a Kidney Donor.<a href="http://t.co/0wTgtVqsXm">http://t.co/0wTgtVqsXm</a></p>— Help Lichelle Laws (@HelpLichelleLaw) <a href="https://twitter.com/HelpLichelleLaw/status/617070556970643457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 3, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><p></p><p>It was revealed in May 2011 that Laws was in need of a kidney due to her suffering from renal disease, a disease that rendered her kidneys useless for processing toxins in her body.

Marcia Fudge, the former Ohio congresswoman who left to join President Joe Biden's Administration as the HUD Secretary said on Monday she resign at the end of the month.</p><p>Knowing how the Senate operates, Republicans will stall the next nominee to replace her.</p><p>“As a dedicated public servant for nearly five decades, I have been devoted to improving the quality of life for the people of this nation, focusing on those with the greatest need,” Fudge said in a statement. “Having worked at every level of government ... I have worked tirelessly to ensure that America lives up to its promise of liberty and justice for all.”</p><p>Fudge’s statement did not indicate a reason she was resigning now, saying only that she planned to “transition to life as a private citizen.”</p><p>The White House, in a statement, hailed Fudge’s dedication to increasing the supply of affordable housing and protect the housing needs of some of the country’s most vulnerable residents.</p><p>“From her time as a mayor, to her years as a fierce advocate in the U.S. House of Representatives, Marcia’s vision, passion, and focus on increasing economic opportunity have been assets to our country,” said Biden, a Democrat. “I’m grateful for all of her contributions toward a housing system that works for all Americans, and I wish her well in her next chapter.”</p><p>Since taking over at HUD, Fudge has focused much of her efforts on addressing homelessness and making housing more affordable – problems that worsened during and after the coronavirus pandemic. Last year, HUD announced a series of measures aimed at reducing barriers to affordable housing, such as zoning restrictions that in some places have become a hurdle to increasing the supply of affordable housing.</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8jf7XbQRWlNUuJH4MykLgbG_X1iJ2TIxAcHDsGLOYqZ30clafyAKWz8vm5CtFtOUuoEynId_29QQbkWqwIWGpZDA4_AswVHu3DcsXkaw47rzjJUD1QVGMRLIYMt66fT4cU0jOMs7bARnCEuKo7ha3AoXUo-kiqRaLftXI-VSr4z1fuFjuAoIsw/s1200/Biden-Marcia-Fudge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8jf7XbQRWlNUuJH4MykLgbG_X1iJ2TIxAcHDsGLOYqZ30clafyAKWz8vm5CtFtOUuoEynId_29QQbkWqwIWGpZDA4_AswVHu3DcsXkaw47rzjJUD1QVGMRLIYMt66fT4cU0jOMs7bARnCEuKo7ha3AoXUo-kiqRaLftXI-VSr4z1fuFjuAoIsw/w400-h225/Biden-Marcia-Fudge.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Biden thanked Fudge for her service.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Fudge has touted the fact that her agency extended rental assistance to 100,000 additional families.

For now, Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman will serve as acting HUD secretary when Fudge departs, the White House said.</p><p>Under Fudge, HUD “worked closely with partners at the federal, state and local levels to increase the housing supply, particularly the supply of affordable homes, while allocating historic resources to address homelessness,” Dalton said. ”And with Secretary Fudge at the helm, HUD strictly enforced fair housing laws and took a stance against racial bias and discrimination in the appraisal market.”</p><p>David M.

The NFL team was hoping to invest in a new multi-purpose stadium in Arlington Heights, a city that is 30 miles from downtown Chicago. The city finally agreed to a bond and public sources to keep the team inside the Chicago skyline.</p><p>The Bears will invest in a new indoor stadium by the lakefront. They will invest $2 billion of private funding into a project that would result in the team having a new stadium along the lakefront in Chicago.</p><p>The Bears were fed up with local officials and mayor Brandon Johnson. The current stadium, Solider Field has outlasted its use and the Bears wanted a new warmer and more modernized stadium. </p><p>When Arlington Heights offered to build a stadium, the Bears were close to accepting a deal to grant land access. That now comes to an end and the gentrification of the South Side of Chicago will proceed.</p><p>With the Barack Obama Presidential Library and Chicago planning for the Democratic National Convention, the city will do some work to improve its image. It will also work on trying to keep the far right noise from making Chicago the scapegoat of America's problems.</p><p>Mayor Brandon Johnson released a statement saying, "I have said all along that meaningful private investment and a strong emphasis on public benefit are my requirements for public-private partnerships in our city. The Chicago Bears' plans are a welcome step in that direction and a testament to Chicago's economic vitality.</p><p>"I look forward to subsequent talks with the Bears, State leadership and community stakeholders about how we can continue to responsibly support the aspirations of the team, its fans and all residents of the City of Chicago."</p><p>Monday morning, Arlington Heights Mayor Tom Hayes said in a statement, "We did not receive a courtesy call from the Bears about this and have seen nothing in writing, so no comment at this time other than we know it's a long way from a done deal at either location."</p><p>State Rep. Mark Walker, D-Arlington Heights, issued a statement saying, "From the Bears' first announcement to purchase Arlington Park, I've been open to the team's move to Arlington Heights, but reaching a fair deal for all has always been the priority. As I've said before, I trust the Bears when they say they're exploring all options in the best interest of their company. If they go forward with their lakefront plan, it's our responsibility to make the best decision for Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows, and our neighboring communities as well. I look forward to the many interesting proposals to come on the future of Arlington Park like new business development, more affordable housing, or welcoming centers for new arrivals."</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="320" src="https://abc7chicago.com/video/embed/?pid=14514239" width="560"></iframe></p><p></p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fv5hOehWkqU?si=JcYoQ7nqI6VCFp7r" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p></p><p></p>The Blue Light Buzzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07004765122831264580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30048708.post-43803498443260328932024-03-10T22:40:00.002-04:002024-03-10T22:41:36.968-04:00Scamslim American!<div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NN-Ek0jdvhiz8ewRd26QWBqKU_bROMVrF7hbNWRwq427NvO_D-yocDfp501Eal3L-YLpXCZtCup5OSr4mz4ZvJJgljbnwmLybHKRWCD5OLj7xjtivoJeQVwqmwiLX0g7RAIwLB0BnYXdNrR37FUjQ0B1LYXo0Po7HigRn_HzzDsRDw6JJ4KKqQ/s640/94b327a258be0d3aa48e36f54c202cdf.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="412" data-original-width="640" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NN-Ek0jdvhiz8ewRd26QWBqKU_bROMVrF7hbNWRwq427NvO_D-yocDfp501Eal3L-YLpXCZtCup5OSr4mz4ZvJJgljbnwmLybHKRWCD5OLj7xjtivoJeQVwqmwiLX0g7RAIwLB0BnYXdNrR37FUjQ0B1LYXo0Po7HigRn_HzzDsRDw6JJ4KKqQ/w400-h258/94b327a258be0d3aa48e36f54c202cdf.jpeg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Assalamualaika.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Brother Whytee Scumhamad King</div><div><br /></div><div>The winners and losers of 2024.</div><div><br /></div><div>While I strongly agree that the world would be better off without him, I think Meta is making a big mistake banning critics of Israel. </div><div><p>Israel isn't any special entity.

Trump, the stakes couldn't be much higher.<p></p><p>Biden and Trump will face off again with the polls slightly favoring the former president over the current incumbent.</p><p>Republicans hope to have a message that inspires voters to the polls.</p><p>Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) did not offer that message in her Republican Response. The 42-year old is the youngest female senator. She, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) are the youngest members serving.</p><p>Britt was ridiculed by the junk food media and some of her Republican colleagues grumbled that she didn't deliver the blows.</p><p>What got my attention was the mood changes. One was optimism. One was anger. One was emotional to the brink of tears. One was snark. One was total hyperbole.</p><p>She did her response from the kitchen in her upscale Montgomery, Alabama home which she shares with husband Wesley Britt, former NFL player turned activist. </p><p>Britt’s rebuttal, delivered from her own kitchen table, laid out a dark vision for the country under Democrats and warned of violence. She talked about her two children and warned that “life is getting more and more dangerous.” She also called Biden a “dithering and diminished leader.”</p><p>Britt blamed Biden for the border crisis and inflation. She claimed that the "senile" president's policies are hurting real Americans.</p><p>Britt got heat for telling a story about an activist who was then a sexually trafficked victim. Britt criticized current immigration policies, describing how she had met a woman at the U.S.-Mexico border who told of being raped thousands of times in a sex trafficking operation run by cartels, starting at age 12.</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWfCzUItnuOuPBbCPN9bqWVMCWcS0P8bmE-nrQ_UlC2sSmDm8GGG1hoZ0o1UHFWi5KMVpdX5nvnDDf-lcYJq6gzRWzW2_WB6S81pWtn1r4uZMFux7NBrgBRfDd0xjZBTPTXRIuqR7tgZ74ArPbrbel-sKL2pAl8cyEDcOqx4Fak_ncjx8_-4BU8g/s1280/Screenshot-2024-03-10-at-7.48.26%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWfCzUItnuOuPBbCPN9bqWVMCWcS0P8bmE-nrQ_UlC2sSmDm8GGG1hoZ0o1UHFWi5KMVpdX5nvnDDf-lcYJq6gzRWzW2_WB6S81pWtn1r4uZMFux7NBrgBRfDd0xjZBTPTXRIuqR7tgZ74ArPbrbel-sKL2pAl8cyEDcOqx4Fak_ncjx8_-4BU8g/w400-h225/Screenshot-2024-03-10-at-7.48.26%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Scarlett Johansson's spot on lookalike of Katie Britt. </td></tr></tbody></table><br />The victim has previously spoken publicly about the abuse happening in her home country of Mexico from 2004 to 2008 — not in the United States during the Biden administration. Yet, Britt used the account to chastise Biden’s action on the border.</p><p>“We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a third-world country. This is the United States of America, and it’s past time we start acting like it,” Britt said in the Thursday night speech televised from her home in Alabama. “President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace.”</p><p>Britt has made immigration one of her top issues in her first years in the Senate, and Republicans have seized on a surge of immigrants entering the country during Biden’s term to attack the president. Trump blames Biden for the killing of a Georgia nursing student after an immigrant from Venezuela who entered the U.S. illegally was arrested and charged with her murder.</p><p></p><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@89_arg/video/7344334618570575147" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7344334618570575147" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;"> <section> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@89_arg?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="@89_arg">@89_arg</a> @Jonathan M.
