TikTok Ban On Hold (For Now)!

Over 245 million users in the U.S. alone. About 2 billion worldwide. TikTok the No. 1 app in the world. Biden backs off the ban after costing Democrats the election.

After costing the Democrats the majority in Congress and the White House, President Joe Biden finally has a coming to Jesus moment.

The president got the long awaited ceasefire between apartheid Israel and Hamas.

Israel has already moved the goalpost and is violating the terms.

The law that required TikTok to divest from China to an American (Zionist) company is on hold. Biden will not enforce the law that he signed in July.

Biden won’t enforce a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office on Monday, a U.S. official said Thursday, leaving its fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump.

Congress last year, in a law signed by Biden, required that TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance divest the company by Jan. 19, a day before the presidential inauguration. The official said the outgoing administration was leaving the implementation of the law — and the potential enforcement of the ban — to Trump.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss internal Biden administration thinking.

Trump, who once called to ban the app, has since pledged to keep it available in the U.S., though his transition team has not said how they intend to accomplish that.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend Trump’s inauguration and be granted a prime seating location on the dais as the president-elect’s national security adviser signals that the incoming administration may take steps to “keep TikTok from going dark.”

Incoming national security adviser Mike Waltz on Thursday told Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that the federal law that could ban TikTok by Sunday also “allows for an extension as long as a viable deal is on the table.”

The push to save TikTok, much like the move to ban it in the U.S., has crossed partisan lines. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he spoke with Biden on Thursday to advocate for extending the deadline to ban TikTok.

“It’s clear that more time is needed to find an American buyer and not disrupt the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans, of so many influencers who have built up a good network of followers,” Schumer said Thursday on the Senate floor.

One final hurrah before leaving.

Democrats had tried on Wednesday to pass legislation that would have extended the deadline, but Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas blocked it. Cotton, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that TikTok has had ample time to find a buyer.

“TikTok is a Chinese Communist spy app that addicts our kids, harvests their data, targets them with harmful and manipulative content, and spreads communist propaganda,” Cotton said.

TikTok CEO’s is expected to be seated on the dais for the inauguration along with tech billionaires Elon Musk, who is CEO of SpaceX, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, according to two people with the matter. The people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning.

Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a legal challenge to the statute brought by TikTok, its China-based parent company ByteDance, and users of the app. The Justices seemed likely to uphold the law, which requires ByteDance to divest TikTok on national security grounds or face a ban in one of its biggest markets.

“If the Supreme Court comes out with a ruling in favor of the law, President Trump has been very clear: Number one, TikTok is a great platform that many Americans use and has been great for his campaign and getting his message out. But number two, he’s going to protect their data,” Waltz said on Wednesday.

“He’s a deal maker. I don’t want to get ahead of our executive orders, but we’re going to create this space to put that deal in place,” he added.

Separately on Wednesday, Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick for attorney general, dodged a question during a Senate hearing on whether she’d uphold a TikTok ban.

Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral. He pledged to “save TikTok” during the campaign and has credited the platform with helping him win more youth votes.

Bob Uecker Passed Away!

The legendary baseball man, Bob Uecker passed away.

The man they named Mr. Baseball.

Bob Uecker, a famed baseball star, sports announcer, actor, comedian and activist passed away at the age of 90.

If you're a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, you knew him. If you're an 80s baby like myself, you knew his role on the TV sitcom, Mr. Belvedere. Also his roles in the film series, Major League with Charlie Sheen.

The Milwaukee Brewers, whose games Uecker had broadcast for over half a century, announced his death Thursday morning, calling it “one of the most difficult days in Milwaukee Brewers history.” In a statement released by the club, Uecker’s family said he had battled small cell lung cancer since early 2023.

“Even in the face of this challenge, his enthusiasm for life was always present, never allowing his spirit to falter,” the family said.

Uecker was best known as a colorful comedian and broadcaster whose sense of humor and self-deprecating style earned him fame and affection beyond his .200 batting average.

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Uecker was a beloved member of the community and a pillar of the sport. He had broadcast Brewers games for the last 54 seasons.

“Even with his considerable success in Hollywood, Bob remained fiercely loyal to baseball and to Milwaukee,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “He loved the game and used his platform to help numerous charitable causes in his hometown and beyond.

“Bob was the genuine item: always the funniest person in any room he was in, and always an outstanding ambassador for our national pastime. We are grateful for this baseball life like no other, and we will never forget him.”

When the Brewers clinched the NL Central title in 2024, manager Pat Murphy threw an arm around Uecker in the locker room, pulling him in tight as players white-knuckled their bottle corks, ready to shower “Mr. Baseball” in Champagne.

“There is no one — there is no one — who epitomizes a champion the way this man does right here,” Murphy proclaimed as the players chanted “UUUUUECK.”

No one could do it better.

As news of Uecker’s death spread, numerous fans converged at his statue outside American Family Field. They paid their respects by leaving flowers, Brewers caps and even cans of the Miller Lite beer he endorsed at the base of the statue.

“He’s the narrator to all the best times of a couple of generations’ lives,” said Shawn Bosman of Franklin, Wisconsin, who visited the statue with his mother.

Kairee Larson, a longtime Brewers season-ticket holder who lives just down the road from the stadium, said after leaving flowers by the statue that Uecker’s call of Ryan Braun’s walk-off grand slam in a 2008 late-season victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates remains her ringtone to this day.

“One of the things I thought today was my baby that’s due any day is not going to hear that iconic voice,” Larson said.

Uecker signed his first professional contract with the Milwaukee Braves in 1956 and reached the majors in 1962. He’d last six seasons in the big leagues as a backup catcher, finishing with a .200 average and 14 homers.

He won a World Series ring with St. Louis in 1964 and also played for Atlanta and Philadelphia.

“Career highlights? I had two,” he often joked. “I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets.”

Uecker also befriended former Brewers owner and baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, who initially hired him as a scout. Selig liked to joke about how Uecker’s initial scouting report was stained with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Selig eventually brought Uecker to the broadcast booth. Uecker became the voice of the Brewers in 1971, in the second year after the team moved from Seattle.

Uecker remained with the club from that point on. Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell, who managed the Brewers from 2015-23, grew up in the Milwaukee area and remembered spending summer days throwing a baseball against the roof and catching it while listening to Uecker’s broadcasts.

Milwaukee Brewers knew Ueck in the booth with a Miller Lite and a play by play.

“There’s no single person in this franchise’s history who has been as iconic and as important as Bob Uecker,” said Jeff Levering, a member of the Brewers’ broadcast team since 2015.

“Ueck” got his big break off the field after opening for Don Rickles at Al Hirt’s nightclub in Atlanta in 1969. That performance caught Hirt’s attention, and the musician set him up to appear on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson. He became one of Carson’s favorite guests, making more than 100 appearances.

Carson was the one who dubbed Uecker “Mr. Baseball.” And the name stuck.

Even as his celebrity status grew nationwide, Uecker savored the opportunity to continue calling games in his hometown.

“To be able to do a game each and every day throughout the summer and talk to people every day at 6:30 for a night game, you become part of people’s families,” Uecker once said.

Uecker was honored by the Hall of Fame with the Ford C. Frick Award in 2003 and spent nearly 20 minutes keeping the Cooperstown, New York, crowd of about 18,000 in stitches.

“I still — and this is not sour grapes by any means — still think I should have gone in as a player,” he quipped.

Uecker’s comedy was just a part of his abilities. His warm storytelling and delivery made him a natural to become one of the first color commentators on network TV broadcasts in the 1970s with ABC. In the ’90s, he teamed up with Bob Costas and Joe Morgan for the World Series.

From there, Uecker reached most households as one of the Miller Lite All-Stars in popular commercials for the beer brand based out of Milwaukee and Uecker later launched his TV acting career in 1985 on the ABC sitcom, “Mr. Belvedere.”

Uecker played George Owens during the successful 122-episode run of the series that lasted six years, as the head of the family and sports writer in a home that brings in a butler who struggles to adapt to an American household.

In a bit of casting that kept things pretty close to home, Uecker also played a prominent role in the movies “Major League” (1989) and “Major League II” (1994) as crass announcer Harry Doyle for a down-and-out Cleveland Indians franchise that finds a way to become playoff contenders.

“I’m part of American folklore, I guess,” Uecker told The Associated Press in 2003. “But I’m not a Hollywood guy. Baseball and broadcasting are in my blood.”

His wry description of a badly wayward pitch — “Juuuust a bit outside!” — in the movie is still often-repeated by announcers and fans at ballparks all over.

Mr. Belvedere was a hit sitcom in the late 1980s.

Uecker’s acting left some to believe he was more about being funny than a serious baseball announcer, but his tenure and observations with the Brewers were spot on, especially when games were tight. Equally enjoyable were games that weren’t, when Uecker would tell stories about other major leaguers, his own career and his hobbies as an avid fisherman and golfer.

“I don’t think anyone wants to hear somebody screwing around when you got a good game going,” Uecker said. “I think people see ‘Major League’ and they think Harry Doyle and figure that’s what Bob Uecker does. I do that sometimes, I do. But when we’ve got a good game going, I don’t mess around.”

Uecker presided over the stirring ceremony that closed Milwaukee County Stadium in 2000. When the Brewers’ new stadium opened as Miller Park in 2001, the team began selling “Uecker seats” high in the upper deck and obstructed for a $1.

The stadium, now known as American Family Field, has two statues in Uecker’s honor. There’s one outside the stadium and another in the back of Section 422, a nod to the Miller Lite commercial in which he famously said “I must be in the front row!” while getting taken to one of the worst seats in the ballpark.

Another Uecker classic: “When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team’s dugout and they were already in street clothes.”

After the Brewers were eliminated from the playoffs in 2024, Uecker’s last season, “Mr. Baseball” made sure to visit the locker room and offer support to players in a way only he could. Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich said afterward the toughest part of the night was talking to Uecker because the Brewers knew how badly the longtime broadcaster wanted to see Milwaukee win a World Series.

“I remember you saying that no matter how much time you have, it still never feels like enough, and that seems pretty true today,” Yelich said Thursday in an Instagram post. “You’d always thank me for my friendship, but the truth of it is the pleasure was all mine. I’ll miss you, my friend.”

Jasmine Crockett Should Have Called Marjorie Taylor Greene And Nancy Mace Drunk ______ B******!

Jasmine Crockett doesn't come to work drunk. It appears that Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert come to work drunk.

Can't they do their jobs without being complete morons?

Well we elected Donald J. Trump and JD Vance, two morons.

We replace Joe Biden, who I thought was a good guy in the first two years. His last two years were a disaster. He proved to be a disappointment. He allowed one foreign country, his Catholic faith and bigotry towards Islam ruin his legacy.

He is a moron like Trump.

Republicans already have no plans on fixing the economy or building a better America. All they have is the distractions.

They rehashing culture wars. They already driving up debt despite their endless promises to bring down inflation and make life better for Americans.

So again, why should anyone affected by Republican controlled governments pay taxes or abide by the law?

Law and order only applies to the minority.

Entitlements belong to the elite and the generation of future elites.

What's in the cup, Nancy?

Being homeless, a sex worker, a mentally ill person, a drug abuser, a shoplifter, a traffic offender and a transgender individual in the United States is a crime.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) need to stop acting like bitches. Do your fucking job and serve the constituents of your respective districts.

While I applaud Crockett for newsworthy clips, it's just a sideshow and a distraction.

Democrats can't win the battles. I say let the Republicans overplay their hand.

They always do. They will fuck the economy once again.

Crockett comes to defense of Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), the first U.S. lawmaker who is a transgender woman. The House passed a bill that bans transgender women from playing in women’s sports or using restrooms/lockers. It is an attack on freedoms and certainly will be the first of many culture war distractions.

Sometimes I wonder whether Marjorie Taylor Greene is drunk or mentally ill.

The war of words came during a discussion of civil rights and transgender rights, with Crockett calling for re-establishing a subcommittee on civil rights and criticizing Mace’s rhetoric about transgender people.

“I can see that somebody’s campaign coffers really are struggling right now. So [Mace] is gonna keep saying ‘trans, trans, trans, trans’ so that people will feel threatened, and child, listen —” Crockett said.

“I am no child, do not call me a child, I am no child,” Mace interjected, prompting committee chair, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) to unsuccessfully call for order.

“If you want to take it outside, we can do that,” Mace said, addressing Crockett.

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) tried to defend Crockett, saying Mace had incited violence against her.

After some discussion, Comer ruled that Mace’s remark had not been a call to violence, saying she could have been asking Crockett to go outside to “have a cup of coffee or perhaps a beer.”

A spokesperson for Crockett did not respond to a request for comment, while Mace's office pointed to her posts on X.

Lauren Boebert has proven to be a drunk lawmaker.

Mace posted about the incident upward of a dozen times, acknowledging that she went “off” on Crockett but saying her call to go outside was not intended to mean she wanted to fight.

“Let me be clear: I wanted to take the conversation off the floor to have a more constructive conversation, not to fight. At no point was there any intention of causing harm to anyone,” she wrote in one post.

Crockett said on X that she had been threatened, and she called Mace “an attention seeking loser.”

“Last I checked, threatening members in a committee room doesn’t exactly reduce the cost of eggs,” she wrote.

Mace introduced a measure banning transgender women from female bathrooms on Capitol Hill. Mace later said the resolution was “absolutely” meant to target McBride, and she has since visited her district to speak to the state’s Republican Party about the measure.

The House Oversight Committee room where Tuesday's exchange took place was also the site of a meeting last year that devolved into chaos amid personal insults. In May, a hearing imploded after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., responded to a question from Crockett by saying, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”

When Comer ruled that Greene’s words had not violated the committee’s rules, Crockett asked: “I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blond, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”

Mace, Boebert and Greene have alcohol issues. Besides adultery, these three white women have nothing but contempt for others. It is a sad reality that voters elected imperfect people like Trump and these crazy white bitches.

Alcoholism drives Republicans into believing things are out to get them. That's why you hear the endless rhetoric about how the left is doing some form of conspiracy to defeat Republicans. If the left was all the Republicans say they are, we could have violently taken control of America through a seditious insurrection.

That was Trump and Republicans.

You can get help if you, a loved one or a friend is dealing with alcohol or substance abuse.

60,000 Dead! 2.5 Million Displaced! Now A F**king Ceasefire!

Genocide Joe and Seditious Don will allow Israel to get away with its crimes.

The farewell message and the Biden administration finally getting a long awaited ceasefire from those bastard Israelis.

President Joe Biden, President Donald J. Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli regime can go fuck themselves.

Biden cost the Democrats their majority. He ruined Vice President Kamala Harris’s opportunity to be a legendary leader. Biden thanks his Israeli handlers to negotiate a temporary ceasefire (which Israel will violate). Trump will gather his Israeli handlers for the potential of further tensions and unprecedented invasions. 

In his farewell address, Biden reflected on a decadeslong political career but also issued a stark warning to the nation as he prepares to cede power Trump.

Speaking from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, Biden said he was proud of what his administration accomplished as the country climbed out of the coronavirus pandemic and made investments in the economy, infrastructure, gun safety, climate change and more.

"In the past four years, our democracy has held strong and every day I've kept my commitment to be president for all Americans for one of the toughest periods in our nation's history," Biden said.

He commended Harris as a "great partner" as she sat nearby alongside second gentleman Doug Emhoff, first lady Jill Biden and Hunter Biden.

The U.S. is downsliding. Trump and Biden finally took America down from greatness to a fucking joke. Trump has always been a fucking joke. Biden double crossed the very people he promised. He didn't save the soul of the nation. He left America bloodied up and left it on the curb for Trump to abuse again.

Israel has been very clear in its mission. 

Interfere, deflect, gaslight and blame.

Israel intentionally continued the war to depress Democratic voters and thus cost Biden and Harris.

Election interference and a former president intentionally pressuring Israel to secure him a victory. That is a crime but since Trump is the king of white privilege, he certainly get away with more crimes.

The mask is off.

Biden and Antony Blinkin let Israel ignored over a year of ceasefire proposals. Now all of sudden, Trump gets in and the Israelis want a ceasefire. I smell bullshit. 

Israel is the new Nazi Germany.

The world has to stop Israel and Russia. The Israeli regime is pushing for the status quo.

Mask off.

The Israeli regime cannot operate as this. As far as I am concerned, this country is and always will be a threat to the world.

Asia must form a coalition to reign in and stop economic and military aid to Israel.

The U.S. must end its alliance with Zionism.

Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal to pause the devastating war in the Gaza Strip, the United States and Qatar said Wednesday, raising the possibility of winding down the deadliest and most destructive fighting between the bitter enemies.

Netanyahu’s office did not confirm the deal, saying the final details were still being sorted out.

The U.S. President isn't Trump or Biden. It's Netanyahu.

Any deal still needs to be approved by Israel’s Cabinet, although they’ll likely say yes. If the deal is adopted, it will unfold in three phases:

Phase one starts Sunday, according to mediator Qatar. Here’s what’s involved:

• A six-week halt to fighting would begin, opening negotiations on ending the war.
• Thirty-three of the nearly 100 hostages would be released over that period, although it’s unclear if more than half are alive.
• The United States says this phase also includes a withdrawal of Israeli forces from densely populated areas of Gaza. That would allow many displaced Palestinians to return to what’s left of their homes. Many neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble.
• Humanitarian assistance would surge, with hundreds of trucks entering Gaza each day.
• Final details that are still being worked out include the list of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners to be freed.

Phase two is harder. Here are the details:

• Negotiations for this phase are to begin on Day 16 of the ceasefire.
• This phase would include the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiers.
• Israeli forces would withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
• However, Israel has said it will not agree to a complete withdrawal until Hamas’ military and political capabilities are eliminated.
• Hamas says it will not hand over the last hostages until Israel removes all its troops.

Phase three calls for the return of the remaining bodies of hostages still in Gaza and the start of a major reconstruction in Gaza, which faces decades of rebuilding. It’s also unclear who will foot the bill.

War crimes. Israel will continue its assault on Palestinians.

Egyptian, Qatari and U.S. negotiators will head to Cairo on Thursday for further talks about implementing all aspects of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, according to a senior U.S. official.

The negotiators are focused on making sure expectations are clear to both Israel and Hamas and implementation of the agreement is carried out as smoothly as possible, the official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.

This ceasefire does not stop the International Criminal Court's warrant and the International Court of Justice rulings.

Do not trust Israel.

There are still the promises broken by Biden. He said that he will hold those responsible for killing Americans. If the Americans were living in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran Gaza or the West Bank, will Biden still honor that?

Nope.

The Israeli regime will fall... we see it collapsing and I am rooting for the end. Israel is one of the world's few remaining apartheid ethnostates. 

The white Jewish supremacists within Israel will drive the U.S. to war.

What about the settlers?

What happened to #BringThemHome and #NeverForget🎗️?

I guess the apartheid ethnostate of Israel has decided to no longer care about saving the settlers in Gaza. They are lazer focused on starting a regional conflict in the Middle East hoping to drive the United States, Great Britain and the European Union into the conflict.

The beauty of being a war criminal.

Israel has thumbed its arrogance at the U.S., France, the United Nations and Iran.

Israel vowed to strike Iran despite its repeated attacks on Iranian sovereignty and its people. Israel has engaged in conflict not only in Gaza, but the West Bank, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and peacekeepers with the UN.

It has meddled in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Israel was rooting for Trump. They want a stooge that will give them everything they want to exterminate the Palestinians and southern Lebanese people.

Could you name one damn thing Israel's done for the United States?

The Israeli government through its proxies are trying to sway American lawmakers into criminalizing criticism of its actions to antisemitism.

Israel's latest excuses to justify the genocide:

• They claimed that Hamas wants to kill as many Jews as possible.
• They claim that Hamas has underground tunnels under schools, hospitals and refugee camps.
• They claim that Hamas was planning on building a dirty bomb.
• They claim that Hamas are using civilians as human shields.
• They claim that Hamas is ISIS.
• They claim that Hamas had a copy of Mein Kampf inside a base in a children's bedroom.
• They claim that Hamas was beheading 40 babies.
• They claim that Hamas misfired a rocket at a hospital.
• They claim that Hamas wants a regional war.
• They claim that Hamas had top secret plans to attack the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas has a calendar that showed the shifts of who was watching the hostages.
• They claim that Hamas shot female soliders in the buttocks and breasts.
• They claim that Hamas shot dead a civilian and raped the victim's corpse,
• They claim that Hamas has placed explosive devices on corpses.
• They claim that Hamas has infiltrated college campuses in the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas support from individuals amounts to being a terrorist sympathizer.

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, men, women, journalists and doctors as collateral damage. 

Hamas stated the reasons for the attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion or Iran. 

The IDF has the weapons to destroy everything. All on the American taxpayer, Israel has killed civilians, their own citizens and the status quo.

Manufacturing conspiracies is something the far right here and the Israeli regime are fucking good at doing. Take an allegation and make it into a concern and manipulate the public into believing this is fact.

Hamas is magically appearing at every crack within a wall. From a calendar to a bunch of American college students protesting, Hamas is the global threat to Israel.

Hamas never attacked the United States. But since Israeli settlers who hold American citizenship are killed, the U.S. goes directly to demanding the individuals involved are killed.

The individual in question apparently committed suicide after being filmed.

It went viral.

So they blurt out: Sir, you need to leave. Unacceptable. Then, he drives away abruptly.

People had also posted about it the day before and were able to identify the person (27-year-old Nautica Malone) involved.

After speaking with his wife, Tori Malone, they learned that the individual had taken his own life.

Therefore, the member expressed mixed feelings, acknowledging that while his actions were wrong, the outcome was unexpected and challenging to process.

Bikini Beans is growing in country.

They also hoped that no one had sent hurtful messages that could have contributed to his decision.

The member had only spoken to his wife and provided his information to the owner of Bikini Beans to be handed over to the authorities.

People were skeptical, wondering if the staff were recording random customers in the drive-thru and happened to capture this particular incident, feeling that there was a lack of context.

In the video, the staff member mentions that the man had driven through multiple times, so they thought of recording him.

Some people speculated that the situation might have been a prank, a dare gone wrong, or even a revenge “prank.”

A sex addition led to public humiliation and a suicide. Nautica Malone from Tempe shot himself after a video of him exposing himself goes viral.

They pointed out that when the man pulled up, he seemed to be smiling or laughing, and when the staff member yelled at him, he appeared confused and then horrified.

However, Nautica Malone’s taking his own life was a huge shock, even to his close friend Anthony, who had known him for 15 years.

Anthony expressed how heartbroken he was and that they couldn’t make any more memories.

He shared how much he would miss his friend’s humor, their random roast battles, and simply talking to him.

Anthony also wished he had expressed his love for him more, as he had always thought they’d grow old together and watch their kids grow up.

The website Officer Down  is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial  also keeps record of the many individuals killed by  gun violence . We are tracking police violence  as well. 

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the US Secret Service and US Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-Semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and legislators avoid influence from lobbyists. 

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

Hegseth, endured fierce Democratic grilling over everything from his inexperience, alleged drinking and his past opposition to women in combat to emerge largely unscathed among Republicans at his confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

Hegseth, a former Fox host and decorated veteran, is one of the most controversial figures ever nominated to be Secretary of Defense and any vote to confirm him is expected to be very close.

But he weathered the four-hour hearing without making any major gaffe that might have alienated Republicans and even won critical backing from Republican Senator Joni Ernst, who holds sway in her party.

Several other committee Republicans, to laughter from a friendly audience packed with supporters wearing Hegseth hats, praised the 44-year-old, who has slammed diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in the military, and, in his latest book, questioned whether the top U.S. general has the job because he's Black.

Asked if he would fire the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General C.Q. Brown, if he takes over the military, a possibility first reported by Reuters, Hegseth declined to rule it out, saying he would be carrying out a broad review.

"Every single senior officer will be reviewed based on meritocracy, standards, lethality and commitment to lawful orders they will be given," Hegseth said.

Hegseth had strongly opposed women in combat roles but walked back that stance during the hearing.

"Mr. Hegseth, I do not believe that you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job," said Senator Jack Reed, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

A number of episodes have sparked concern, including a 2017 sexual assault allegation against Hegseth that did not result in charges and which he denies. He has also been accused of excessive drinking and financial mismanagement at veterans' organizations. Hegseth has vowed to abstain from alcohol if confirmed and said he made financial errors but denied wrongdoing.

Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand slammed Hegseth's past remarks about women, saying he would have to fundamentally change how he sees women who constitute 18% of the U.S. military.

"We have hundreds - HUNDREDS - of women who serve in the infantry, lethal members of our military ... But you degrade them," Gillibrand said in a heated exchange.

"Please explain these types of statements because they're brutal, and they're mean."

Despite strong support from Trump's Republicans, Hegseth's confirmation will likely be by a narrow margin, compared with the 93-2 vote for President Joe Biden's defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, and 98-1 for Jim Mattis, Trump's first nominee for the position.

After the hearing, Ernst, who pundits speculated could vote against Hegseth and perhaps convince others to do the same, said she supported Hegseth.

"Our next commander in chief selected Pete Hegseth to serve in this role, and after our conversations, hearing from Iowans, and doing my job as a United States Senator, I will support President Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense," Ernst said in a statement.

As Hegseth walked into the packed hearing room, he was greeted with cheers and a standing ovation, with chants of "USA, USA, USA" and a shout of "Get 'em, Petey."

Senator Roger Wicker, the Republican who leads the committee, endorsed Hegseth, calling him "unconventional," and adding, "Regarding his personal conduct, Mr. Hegseth has admitted to falling short, as we all do from time to time."

Republican senators, including Markwayne Mullin and Tim Sheehy, strongly backed Hegseth. Mullin dismissed concerns about him, particularly his personal life, as political theater.

"It's all for show," Mullin said.

ACCOUNTABILITY IS COMING

Hegseth's opening remarks, praising Trump, were repeatedly interrupted by protesters. He vowed to restore a "warrior culture" to the U.S. military and said accountability was coming for those who fall short.

"Everyone from the top, from the most senior general to the most lowly private, (we) will ensure that they're treated fairly," Hegseth said.

When asked about remarks opposing women in combat, Hegseth cited the need to eliminate quotas for frontline roles. Gillibrand fired back that no such quotas exist.

During the hearing he told Ernst, herself a veteran, that he would support women in combat "given the standards remain high, and we will have a review to ensure the standards have not been eroded."

Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth, a veteran who lost both legs during combat in Iraq, chided Hegseth over gaps in his knowledge of foreign policy and lack of management experience.

"You say you care about keeping our armed forces strong ... then let's not lower the standards for you. You sir, are a no-go at this station," Duckworth said.

In a 2021 incident first reported by Reuters, Hegseth was branded an "insider threat" by a fellow member of the Army National Guard over his tattoos. Hegseth noted the incident during the hearing, which led him to be pulled from Guard duty in Washington during Biden's inauguration.

In recent weeks, Trump's party has coalesced around his pick. 

Still, the slim Republican Senate majority means that Hegseth can lose support from no more than three senators to be confirmed, if Democrats and independents unite against him.    

Cabinet nominees almost never lose Senate votes. The last nominee who was defeated was former Senator John Tower, a nominee to be Secretary of Defense, in 1989. Tower was investigated over claims of drunkenness and inappropriate behavior with women.

If confirmed, Hegseth could make good on Trump's promises to rid the military of generals he accuses of pursuing progressive diversity policies.

The next secretary of defense faces huge challenges, including active conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza and the expansion of China's military, which received only glancing attention during a hearing focused far more on culture war issues.

The committee is expected to vote on Hegseth's nomination as soon as Monday, the day of Trump's inauguration, paving the way for his consideration by the full Senate.  

Rashida Jones Out At MSNBC!

Rashida Jones is out at MSNBC.

President Donald J. Trump is a literal threat to democracy. Apparently, folks are comfortable with it. President Joe Biden was a threat to democracy as well.

Biden and his support for a TikTok ban and refusal to stop supporting Israel cost the Democrats big time. His Justice Department didn't have the strength to hold Trump accountable for his actions.

Now Trump is returning to power, he vows revenge on Biden and the junk food media.

MSNBC took a big hit after the election. I've stopped watching on television and listening to it on SiriusXM back on Oct. 2023 when the network took the side of Israel. I stopped watching all cable news and local news after Trump won.

Many of the hosts back Israel. They allowed many of the voices on the network to be sidelined because of their support of Palestine. Mehdi Hasan, Ayman Mohyeldin and Ali Velshi were sidelined. Hasan was demoted and eventually left.

Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell were forced out.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are facing backlash after making nice with Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Now because of Comcast's potential spin offs of NBCUniversal and several networks, Rashida Jones is out.

Jones, the president of MSNBC, announced Tuesday that she is stepping down after four years of steering the cable news network.

Jones, who made history as the first Black executive to lead a major U.S. television news network, made the announcement to top MSNBC anchors, leaders and network staff on Tuesday morning. (MSNBC and NBC News are both units of NBCUniversal.)

Rebecca Kutler, the network's senior vice president of content strategy, was named interim MSNBC president. Jones, who recruited Kutler to the network in 2022, plans to stay on in an advisory role until March.

“I came to this decision over the holidays while reflecting on our remarkable journey and the many successes we’ve achieved together as a team. This has been the most rewarding chapter of my professional career and I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished, which has been made possible only by you,” Jones said in a memo to staff.

The announcement comes nearly two months after Comcast announced a plan to spin off most of its cable TV networks into a separate publicly traded company, currently known as SpinCo. The new company will include MSNBC, CNBC, the USA Network, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and the Golf Channel.

Jones took charge of MSNBC in February 2021 after the inauguration of President Joe Biden and the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol. She drove MSNBC to ratings triumphs on major political nights.

She retained and signed new long-term deals with the network’s top talent, including Rachel Maddow. She also created a live event series; relaunched a new mobile app and premium subscription series; and made investments in other network digital offerings.

MSNBC has seen a post-election ratings dip. The network still ended last year as the No. 2 network across cable, with 807,000 average viewers daily and 1.3 million viewers in the prime-time hours.

The cable television business writ large is at a crossroads as consumers move toward streaming alternatives such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. In this business environment, some cable channels remain profitable with healthy cash flows, but other brands have rapidly declined.

In a memo to staff, Mark Lazarus, the incoming chief executive of SpinCo, praised Jones for her years helming MSNBC.

“Rashida has expertly navigated MSNBC through a years-long, unrelenting and unprecedented news cycle, all while driving the network to record viewership and making investments in nonlinear businesses. MSNBC is well-positioned for the future,” Lazarus said in a memo to staff.

Lazarus told staff members on a network call that MSNBC will retain its name after the spin-off transaction is complete.

Jones previously served as senior vice president of NBC News and MSNBC, overseeing and leading the production of cross-network special events, including election night coverage and presidential debates.

Kutler came to MSNBC from CNN, where she spent two decades, most recently as a senior vice president.

Nancy Mace's Drunken Hate On Sarah McBride Continues!

Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) carting a staffer.

To all Muslims, people of color, transgender Americans and disabled individuals, why should you pay taxes? 

Our taxes keep the government running and pays the House and Senate members salaries. They forgot it was the American voter that elected them. 

Drunk lawmaker still running the hate campaign.

Since 2024, one South Carolina lawmaker made it her campaign mission to demonize a new member because that person is a transgender woman. The first in U.S. history is subjected to deadnaming, transphobic slurs and utter hate.

For what fucking reason?

Because she exists.

Damn shame no one is exposing the life of this South Carolina woman who was then a Waffle House server, a Citdial graduate, a sexual abuse victim, a problem alcoholic and a mentally ill individual. She had numerous moments of sanity when she was a freshman lawmaker. But the fears of being primaried linger so she decided to jump on this MAGAland bandwagon.

From rational to insufferable. 

Nancy Ruth Mace, a damn near 50 year old Karen.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) and Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) haven't learned a damn thing. Their rhetoric has made them targets of death threats.

The U.S. Capitol Police have to use their resources to protect these assholes.

Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) are getting more threats on their lives because of the noise.

Sarah E. McBride, 34 is the first U.S. Representative who identifies as a transwoman. She is dedicated to serving constituents of the state of Delaware.

She isn't interested in the culture wars. She wants to solve problems and work with Democrats, Republicans and President Donald J. Trump in building a better Delaware. 

Hopefully McBride will start distancing herself from Israel.

She is also getting tired of the noise.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has a drinking problem.

Mace spoke at a private Delaware GOP event in Newark Friday following controversy with McBride.

At Friday's event, Mace told members of the press she intends to re-file a bill that would continue pushing for a similar ban in all federal buildings.

Mace was invited by Delaware GOP Chair Julianne Murray to speak on “women’s safety and privacy, emphasizing the need for protective measures in all aspects of women's lives."

Murray said the event has a broader scope than the recent transgender bathroom ban controversy.

"I know that people have tried to turn this into a whole— something that it's not. This is about protecting women and the sanctity of women in women's spaces. This is not a bathroom issue. I know that everybody wants to make it that, but it is so much more than that, and I, as a woman, as a state party chair and as a Republican, am so thankful for the advocacy of this woman and what she is— the heat that she is taking, in my view, unjustifiably so," Murray said at a press conference preceding the event.

Although when asked why Mace wanted to speak in Delaware specifically, she did not hesitate to mention the First State's lone Congressional member by name.

“[We're here] because the Delaware GOP invited us, and yes, because it's in Sarah McBride's backyard, it's just icing on the cake. And I'm happy to be here to fight for women's rights," Mace said.

When asked if she has interacted with McBride, Mace said, "No, I have not, and I have no interest in it either."

The event was closed to the press — a decision that Murray said came in an effort to "control the environment" — but Mace offered a full copy of her speech to members of the press.

While her remarks do not mention McBride by name or the transgender bathroom bill directly, Mace spoke against the usage of pronouns, those who identify outside of the normative gender binary and allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports.

During the height of the controversy in November, McBride took to social media to say Mace's bill is "an effort to distract from real issues facing this country," but that she would "follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if [she] disagree[s] with them."

A small group of protestors gathered on the street outside the event before being asked by state police to move to a nearby gas station for trespassing on private property.

One of the protestors, Cynthia Johnson, who helped organize the opposition, said she felt inclined to speak out for her nonbinary child who also faces challenges when trying to use the restroom they are comfortable with.

“I think this is bigger than our representative Sarah McBride. I'm not here because of her. I'm here because of my kid. I'm here because of other trans youth and trans adults who do not feel safe when there is rhetoric like what Nancy Mace is spewing forth from her position of power," Johnson said.

She also mentioned that she had left a message with the Executive Banquet & Conference Center where the event was being held, expressing her "disgust and dismay."

Johnson said she received a reply from the center's scheduling person who said they do not question the programming or people who book the venue.

Laird, another one of the protestors, identifies as a Republican but says two of his children's partners are transgender, and he feels Mace's rhetoric is an "attack on his family."

The New Castle Democratic Party released a statement condemning the Delaware GOP's decision to invite Mace: "Today, Delaware Republicans welcome hate to our state. And very soon, they will welcome a man found liable for sexual abuse to the White House, a man who has bragged about sauntering into women’s dressing rooms and suggested he could assault them there, who like all sex offenders faces no restrictions on public bathroom use. And they welcome — and initiate — attacks on our personal freedoms while espousing the ability to 'share insights' on defending them," the statement read.

"While those elected under their banner may pose as moderate during campaign season and clamor for bipartisanship in Legislative Hall, this is who they really are. We do not forget that GOP officials like Mike Smith and Kevin Hensley spoke so fondly of State Senator Sarah McBride as they faced their own elections, nor will we forget what they permit to be said about her now that she is a Congresswoman. Not only does the GOP not defend a Delawarean they have called a friend, they invite that bully into our borders. They should be ashamed."

McBride has to have extra security thanks to Republicans and their constant obsessions with race, gender, sexuality and religious bigotries.

In response to an inquiry about McBride's thoughts on the event, a spokesperson for McBride says the congresswoman is attending a bipartisan meeting with her colleagues from the House this weekend.

Additionally, McBride introduced the Ending Scam Credit Repair Act on Friday, becoming the first freshman Democrat to introduce a piece of legislation in the 119th Congress.

The bill was introduced bipartisanly with California Republican Congresswoman Young Kim in an effort to crack down on fraudulent practices in the credit repair industry.

Prior to the event, Murray also announced Republican Donyale Hall would be running again against McBride in 2026 for the state's At-Large Congressional District.

Hall ran in the 2024 primary election as the Delaware GOP-endorsed candidate, but lost to former police officer John Whalen with only 44% of the vote.

Whalen ultimately lost to McBride in the General Election, garnering 42% of the vote.

The LA Fires And The Far Right Noise Machine!

The right will do everything in their power to make life miserable.

Given an estimate of death, we have 20 to 100 dead from the deadly spree of wildfires in Southern California.

I want to be clear, this is climate change and the beginning of a long four years of gridlock, government redtape and a lack of empathy.

Also a lot of blame.

Of course what fuels a wildfire?

According to the far right, it's woke politics, Democratic governors, DEI officials, progressive protesters, bad forest management, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom.

They magically started a fire that became one of the worst natural disasters since Hurricane Helene in 2024.

This individual tried to ransack a home. The far right are claiming Black people are looting.

There have been several reports of individuals looting evacuated houses amidst the chaos. As of January 13, at least 29 people had been arrested for looting. Two people were caught posing as firefighters in order to steal from evacuees. 25 people have been arrested in the area surrounding the Eaton Fire evacuation zone; another four were arrested in the Palisades region. Officials condemned the looting, including Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who elaborated that the looters were "targeting vulnerable communities". National Guard troops were deployed to some burn areas to provide protection against looting.

 “We haven’t seen that before. Not in Southern California. Not like this,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said.

Newsom said it may be the worst disaster in U.S. history.

 “I think it will be in terms of just the costs associated with it,” Gov. Newsom said.

“We at FEMA now are starting to help support this recovery piece,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said.

Last week, President Joe Biden moved quickly to declare a major federal disaster days before President-elect Donald Trump is due to take office.

Look at what these assholes do!

Trump and some of the California delegation at Mar-a-Lago.

President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have already been warned that their rhetoric has them in the crosshairs of a potential domestic or international operative attack. They don't listen and put a strain on the U.S. Secret Service.

Trump wrote online California Gov. Gavin Newsom “should resign” adding “this is all his fault.”

 “There is a serious lack of competent governance in California,” Vance said.

Vance and Republicans blamed California Democrats for the destruction.

 “The policies of the liberal administration out there, I believe, have made these fires worse,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY.) said. “I expect that there will be strings attached to money that is ultimately approved.”

Newsom responded on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“Responding to Donald Trump’s insults, we would spend another month. I’m very familiar with them,” Newsom said.

Newsom said he’s invited Trump to California to see the devastation for himself.

He says so far Trump has not agreed to visit.

Trump vowed to crack down on diversity programs, including at universities. Several states, including Florida, Texas, Alabama and Iowa, have already banned DEI offices in their public universities.

Just this week, Meta and McDonald's joined a growing list of companies including Walmart, Ford, Lowe's and Toyota, that are scaling back their DEI initiatives. The change at McDonald's – which will emphasize "inclusion" instead – came just days after the fast food company was targeted by anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck who has led social media campaigns pressuring companies to drop their programs.

MAGA Playbook:

Disaster in a Republican State, Democrat President
→ Blame Biden.

Disaster in a Democrat State, Republican President
→ Blame the Governor.

Disaster in a Democrat State, Democrat President
→ Blame both President and the Governor.

Disaster in a Republican…

Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake.

The windstorm and resulting fire danger was well-forecast. On January 2, the National Interagency Fire Center warned that conditions in Southern California fostered "above normal significant fire potential." That same day, local National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts noted the potential for intense fires and issued a Fire Weather Watch. On January 3, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) forecast a critical risk of fire weather that would occur on January 8, and by January 7, on the first day of critical fire weather in the area, the SPC forecasted an extremely critical risk for Fire Weather for January 8. Subsequent days since January 9 have had a critical fire weather risk issued for Southern California, with January 13–14 having back to back Extremely Critical Fire Risks.

Biden got seven days left in his term and he promises that the federal government will assist in helping Californians.

For Los Angeles and Ventura counties, the NWS issued a red flag warning, denoting the most extreme fire danger, and calling it a "particularly dangerous situation" that threatened high risk to life and property. The warning emphasized that fires could rapidly grow because of powerful winds and low humidity. Southern California had become increasingly arid since late summer 2024, as storm systems predominantly affected the Pacific Northwest and Northern California instead, due to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) changing from El Niño to La Niña, which had emerged by January 2025 as a weak La Niña. By late December 2024, most of Los Angeles County had entered moderate drought status, creating heightened fire vulnerability due to desiccated vegetation in what was traditionally the region's wet season.

Wildfire Alliance statistics indicated that the Palisades fire alone was by far the most destructive in the Los Angeles region, with at least 1,000 structures destroyed, surpassing the Sayre Fire, which destroyed 604 structures in 2008, and the Bel Air Fire, which destroyed nearly 500 houses in 1961. The Reel Inn, a 36-year-old seafood restaurant, was confirmed by its owners to have been destroyed in the Palisades Fire. The Palisades Charter High School was engulfed by the fire after the wildfire reached the site at roughly 4 p.m. PST. No one was in the school due to it being out for winter break. Vegetation and trees near the Getty Villa burned, with no structural damage being reported as of 5:20 p.m. PST, January 7.

If Karen Bass was a white man, the junk food media wouldn't be so obsessed with the local handling of the wildfire.

On January 8, more than 9,300 structures were reported destroyed. The fire later spread to the Palisades Charter Elementary School. Several beachfront properties in Malibu were destroyed by the wildfire. Dozens of cars abandoned on highways during evacuations were completely burnt, with bulldozers having to force several vehicles out of the way for firefighters to access burning areas. The fires also destroyed the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, the Masjid Al-Taqwa, and the Altadena Community Church.

CBS News journalist Jonathan Vigliotti reported that "most everything is gone" in downtown Pacific Palisades aside from the local mall, and described the damage as "beyond comprehension". He also reported that embers from existing fires were being "blown more than a mile" by the severe windstorm and creating spot fires. The Malibu Feed Bin and Theater Palisades' Pierson Playhouse were destroyed in the Palisades fire. The Eaton Canyon Nature Center was destroyed in the Eaton Fire, resulting in the deaths of about fifteen lizards. On January 11, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported that more than 12,000 buildings was threatened by the fires and that "It is expected that more than 5,000 structures have been destroyed".

Several celebrities' houses burned down in the wildfires, including the homes of Mandy Moore, Cary Elwes, Eugene Levy, Billy Crystal, Paris Hilton, Adam Brody, Leighton Meester, Yolanda Hadid, Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Miles Teller, Mel Gibson, Diane Warren, Ricki Lake, and Ed Harris. The historic home and ranch of humorist Will Rogers was also destroyed.
