He Was One Of You Guys!

Nearly five years and now Trump DOJ 2.0 caught him.

Benny Johnson should be viewed as entertainment and not opinioned journalism. The far right grease pit claimed the Jan. 5-6 pipe bomber was a Democrat. Without hearing any facts, the far right assumed the suspect, Brian Cole, Jr., a Black man was registered a Democrat and was plotting to harm President Donald J. Trump.

We are reminded that Trump was outgoing president at the time and a lot of supporters were upset over his loss. Moreover, the far right dedicated their whole mission to "Stop the Steal."

Trump sicced his supporters on the U.S. Capitol to cause harm to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Vice then President Mike Pence and the electoral college castings. 

The suspect was not a Democrat or antifa. He was not an anti-Trumper or a plant.

He was a man driven to rage by conspiracies peddled by Fox. Driven by the noise of Attorney General Pam Bondi, U.S. District Attorney Jeanine Pirro, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bogino, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Tucker Carlson, the late Lou Dobbs, Newsmax, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Laura Ingraham and most Republicans. The driver of that train was Trump, the biggest conspiracy theorist and troll president.

He was a Black MAGAland who was the type of quiet incels who will kill for clout.

Cole, 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, was arrested this morning and charged for transporting and planting two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on January 5, 2021, at the headquarters of both the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee in Washington D.C., announced Attorney General Bondi, FBI Director Patel, and U.S. Attorne Pirro. 

Cole is charged in a complaint unsealed today with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce with the intent to kill, injure, or intimidate any individual or unlawfully to damage or destroy any building, vehicle, or other real or personal property. He is also charged with attempted malicious destruction by means of fire and explosive materials.

Cole also said that that he got rid of the unusual shoes that investigators were looking for, according Pirro.

"He told us that he had those sneakers and that he got rid of them after he placed the pipe bombs," Pirro told ABC News in an exclusive interview Friday.

When asked if she would go further in saying that Cole offered a full confession, Pirro would go no further, saying, "I don't want to get ahead of this, but what I can tell you is that the combination of video evidence, forensic evidence, as well as the items, the receipts and -- it makes it very clear that we can prove this case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt."

Authorities arrested Cole, 30, on Thursday after identifying him as the suspect in the case following a yearslong investigation.

He made his first court appearance Friday and did not enter a plea.

The distinctive Nike Air Max Turf sneakers seen in CCTV images had long been a focus of investigators who were hoping they would lead to the suspect.

First appearance of the bomber in federal court.

Pirro said that based on the evidence, it is "unmistakable" that Cole is the suspect, after having gone through 3 million pieces of data.

"In my mind, they were on the right path when it was clear that the cell phone was pinging in the exact locations where we had the video of the suspect walking along the area," Pirro said. "Everywhere he walked, his cell phone was pinging at the cell tower. So it is unmistakable that he was the guy who was walking along and placing those items," she said.

Pirro confirmed ABC News' reporting that Cole is talking to authorities and that they say he expressed concern about the 2020 election.

"He was disappointed in various aspects of the election," Pirro said. 

She said "it really isn't clear" if Cole is a supporter of either President Donald Trump or former President Joe Biden. 

"This guy was an equal opportunity bomber," Pirro said. "He put a bomb outside the Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee. He was disappointed to a great deal in the system, both sides of the system, and for me as a prosecutor, my job is to prove what his intent was in placing those pipe bombs, and what he intended to do, and what we can prove, and we can prove that."

She said they won't stop investigating this case and will continue to execute search warrants and find information. 

Pirro was adamant that the public will see the facts of this case, regardless of politics.

"Look at me," she said. "You will see the facts. You will see the evidence. You will see the truth as we go forward with this case. The law requires it, it demands it, and it is what we will deliver."  

The pipe bombs was place near the Democratic National Committee headquarters when then Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, then chairman Jaime Harrison and future lead Ken Martin were in the vicinity.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

The suspect faces 20 years to LIFE if convicted.

Netflix To Buy Warner Bros. Discovery!

Netflix is plotting a takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.

This is the decline of American film, television, music, social media and radio. This is why capitalism sucks. The idea that America can allow companies to buy up other companies with billions without any oversight is a fucked up situation.

Netflix is going to purchase Warner Bros Discovery. It pissed off David and Larry Ellison.

The Ellisons are demanding the Don to block it. They have such an impact on President Donald J. Trump, it makes me think that..... Don't say that! It is antisemitic to accuse prominent business leaders of secretly conspiring with the federal government to push an agenda on behalf of a foreign country.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is very confident that the whole catalog of Warner Bros. and its affiliates will be part of the Netflix bubble. 

Expect streaming prices to increase. Expect more ways to keep people from pirating television, music and film. Expect Sarandos to cash in another billion.

Netflix announced Friday it’s reached a deal to buy pieces of Warner Bros. Discovery,
 bringing a swift end to a dramatic bidding process that saw Paramount Skydance
 and Comcast also vying for the legacy assets.

The transaction is comprised of cash and stock and is valued at $27.75 per WBD share, the companies said. That puts the equity value of the deal at $72 billion, with a total enterprise value of approximately $82.7 billion.

Netflix will acquire Warner Bros.′ film studio and streaming service, HBO Max. Warner Bros. Discovery will move forward with its previously planned spinout of Discovery Global, which includes its massive portfolio of pay TV networks, such as TNT and CNN.

The blockbuster deal brings together the streaming giant Netflix, which has upended the media industry in recent years, and the storied Warner Bros. film studio, known for its library including “The Wizard of Oz,” the Harry Potter franchise and the DC comics universe. It will also include the content of HBO Max, including “The Sopranos” and “Game of Thrones.”

“I know some of you’re surprised that we’re making this acquisition, and I certainly understand why. Over the years, we have been known to be builders, not buyers,” Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said on an investor call Friday morning.

“We already have incredible shows and movies and a great business model, and it’s working for talent, it’s working for consumers and it’s working for shareholders. This is a rare opportunity,” he said. “It’s going to help us achieve our mission to entertain the world and to bring people together through great stories.”

The acquisition is expected to close after the TV networks separation takes place, now expected in the third quarter of 2026. The companies estimated the transaction would close in 12 to 18 months.

As part of the deal, every Warner Bros. Discovery shareholder will receive $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in shares of Netflix common stock for each share of WBD common stock outstanding following the close of the deal.

Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery said each of their boards of directors unanimously approved the deal, which is subject to regulatory approval as well as approval of WBD shareholders.

Netflix has agreed to pay a $5.8 billion reverse break-up fee if the deal is not approved, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Warner Bros. Discovery would pay a $2.8 billion breakup fee if it decides to call off the deal to pursue a different merger.

Edging out Paramount

The merger could invite regulatory scrutiny given the size of the expansive streaming businesses for each company. Netflix said it surpassed 300 million global streaming subscribers at the end of 2024, the last time it publicly reported its customer count. Warner Bros. Discovery said it had 128 million global subscribers as of Sept. 30.

Paramount raised the potential for antitrust concerns earlier this week in a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery management as second-round bids came in, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The newly merged Paramount Skydance made its initial run at Warner Bros. Discovery in September, submitting three bids before WBD launched a formal sale process. The David Ellison-run company was the only suitor bidding for the entirety of WBD’s portfolio — the film studio, streaming business and TV networks.

Paramount’s final bid, received Thursday evening, was for $30 per share, all cash, people close to the matter told CNBC, speaking on the condition of anonymity about confidential dealings. Paramount’s offer included a $5 billion breakup fee if the transaction didn’t win regulatory approval after roughly 10 months, the people said.

Earlier this week, Paramount raised questions about the “fairness and adequacy” of the sale process, contending Warner Bros. Discovery favored Netflix.

“It has become increasingly clear, through media reporting and otherwise, that WBD appears to have abandoned the semblance and reality of a fair transaction process, thereby abdicating its duties to stockholders, and embarked on a myopic process with a predetermined outcome that favors a single bidder,” Paramount attorneys said in a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery management.

Jan. 6 Bomber Caught!

The FBI arrest the Jan. 6 pipe bomber.

America rewards the man who tried to overthrow the U.S. government. The American people fed up with the stagnant economy, low wages, endless funding to foreign wars, partisan gridlock, tone deaf politicians and polarizing rhetoric. Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump failed America. Yet, we rewarded Trump, a man who caused chaos in his first term rehashed to a chaotic second term.

Damn near five years and the Kash Patel led Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrested the suspect who placed pipe bombs near the Democratic National Committee and Republicans National Committee offices.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The FBI has arrested a suspect in its investigation into pipe bombs planted near the Republican and Democratic national party headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5, 2021, according to a federal law enforcement official familiar with the investigation.

Brian Cole was identified as the suspect in custody, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter. The arrest marks a breakthrough in a case that has stymied investigators for nearly five years.

An FBI official says the arrest happened Thursday morning. A news conference will take place at the Justice Department on Thursday to officially announce the arrest.

Federal investigators have said an individual placed one pipe bomb near the Democratic National Committee headquarters and another near the Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol.

The FBI has since repeatedly asked the public for information that could lead to an arrest, including releasing in January additional video of the suspect planting one of the bombs. The bureau has said the suspect is estimated to be about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and was wearing Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a gold logo.
The FBI released the image of the alleged bomber.

In 2023, the FBI raised the reward for providing information that led to an arrest from $100,000 to $500,000.

Lawmakers have criticized a lack of arrest in the case.

The FBI has said the pipe bombs, which were discovered Jan. 6 about 15 hours after they were placed, were viable devices that could have seriously injured or killed bystanders. The bureau has said investigators have conducted more than 1,000 interviews and reviewed tens of thousands of video files.

The mystery of the pipe bomber’s identity helped fuel some conspiracy theories, including the notion that the government had set up supporters of Trump who stormed the Capitol. Last month, the FBI debunked another one that suggested the bombs were planted by a former Capitol Police officer.

While Trump pardoned Jan. 6 rioters, including those who attacked law enforcement officers, on his first day back in office this year, the language of the pardons did not extend to the individual who planted pipe bombs near the RNC and the DNC.

FBI Director Kash Patel is incompetent. But for once he got it right.

John Richter, the former Biden and Clinton staffer whom the FBI wrongfully questioned about the Jan. 6 pipe bomb case, told NBC News on Thursday that he’s received a bunch of texts from friends joking about the arrest of the actual suspect.

"My phone is blowing up haha. Omg," the D.C. John Richter said in a text message.

Richter, as NBC News reported, was questioned by FBI special agents about his whereabouts on Jan. 5, 2021. Another man named John Richter was eventually arrested for storming the Capitol. That John Richter’s friend had yelled Richter’s name on the floor of the U.S. Senate, which appears to be what led the FBI to the DC Richter’s door.

Greg Rosen — who led the now-defunct Capitol Siege Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia — told NBC News on Thursday morning that the suspect's arrest is a reflection on the work of the type of career FBI special agents and prosecutors who have been targeted by the Trump administration for their work on the Jan. 6 cases.

"This is a testament to the incredible work of career FBI agents and prosecutors who have been working this case for years," Rosen said. "While we don’t yet know all the facts, the American people should be proud of their work."

What Layoffs?

Lori Chavez-DeRemer days are numbered. She is pictured with the president and Sean O'Brien, the controversial Teamster president who endorsed him.

The Trump Administration has a high turnover rate. It is on pace to outdo the first term.

Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer, her days are numbered. If the job market is not doing well and more people are unemployed, she will be unemployed.

Since President Donald J. Trump refuses to believe the numbers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has now fudge the numbers. The numbers are no longer trusted.

Trump will make the case by claiming the job market failures fell on his predecessors Joe Biden and Barack Obama. He will claim this "golden age" is happening despite the bad times.

All of this was self inflicted. 

Announced job cuts from U.S. employers moved further ahead of 1 million for the year in November as corporate restructuring, artificial intelligence and tariffs have helped pare job rolls, consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported Thursday.

The firm said layoff plans totaled 71,321 in November, a step down from the massive cuts announced in October but still enough to bring the 2025 total up to 1.17 million. That total is 54% higher than the same 11-month period a year ago and the highest level since 2020, when the Covid pandemic rocked the global economy.

In November, Verizon’s announcement that it would slash more than 13,000 jobs helped drive the total. Tech companies, driven by innovations in artificial intelligence, listed 12,377 reductions, pushing the sector’s 2025 total up 17% from a year ago. AI itself has been cited for 54,694 layoffs this year.

Tariffs were cited as the driver of more than 2,000 cuts in November and nearly 8,000 year to date. The most-cited reason for the month was restructuring, followed by closings and market or economic conditions.

“Layoff plans fell last month, certainly a positive sign. That said, job cuts in November have risen above 70,000 only twice since 2008: in 2022 and in 2008,” said Andy Challenger, workplace expert and chief revenue officer at Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Challenger also pointed out that since the financial crisis in 2008, companies have shifted away from end-year layoff announcements.

“It was the trend to announce layoff plans toward the end of the year, to align with most companies’ fiscal year-ends. It became unpopular after the Great Recession especially, and best practice dictated layoff plans would occur at times other than the holidays,” said Challenger.
Tis the season to be jolly.

November offered some relief from the more than 153,000 cuts announced in October, which was the highest total for the month in 22 years.

The numbers come with concerns rising over the state of the U.S. labor market.

ADP reported Wednesday that private employers cut 32,000 jobs in November, the biggest decline in more than 2½ years.

Hiring prospects have been dim this year as well, according to the Challenger report. Employers have announced 497,151 planned hires, off 35% from the same point in 2024.

Despite signs of weakness elsewhere, Labor Department data has yet to reflect a surge in layoffs.

The department on Thursday reported that weekly jobless claims unexpectedly tumbled to 191,000, the lowest in more than three years. Official data showed the decline of some 27,000 from the prior week was driven by unusually large drops in California and Texas and likely was influenced by the Thanksgiving holiday.

Gun Deaths Are "Worth It" So That We Can Have The Second Amendment To Protect Our Other God-Given Rights!

They never learn.

Those were the words of the late white nationalist Charlie Kirk. He said that it's God's plan to see people killed by gun violence. An event totally created by a white man law.

Firearms were a privilege of white men. They used them in their colonialist expansion of the country now known as the United States.

Guns were apparently made by the Chinese centuries ago, colonialized by the English and pushed into the mainstream by Europeans. Europeans used them in world conflicts, invasions and violent occupation of lands.

Before his untimely passing, Kirk had declared it was "worth it" to see people killed by gun violence. He said it's God's given to have the right to own firearms.

The United States has 460 mass shootings this year. The junk food media says it is a low year but you can't tell me that. 

Kirk was killed apparently by a white man but the far right targeted immigrants, transgender Americans, Black men, Latino men, Muslims and Democratic politicians as the responsible parties for Kirk's death. He was killed in Republican controlled Utah where a white governor, a white majority of legislators and a bunch of tone deaf religious zealots allowed firearms on college campuses. A state where carrying firearms are allowed in most establishments including public schools, bars and canibus facilities.

His death should have moved Republicans to do something.

Nope.

Business as usual.

The number one threat in the United States is gun violence.

Erika Kirk is still trying to milk his wretched legacy.

She rejected the argument that gun violence was the root problem that led to her husband's assassination. The fact that he took a shot to the neck doesn't seem to bother her. I mean the shooter was a white guy. She forgave him. 

Had it been a comedian, a person of color or even a transgender person, Kirk would never forgive. She will be on the frontlines guns ablazing. 

Yeah, I said it, she is a racist.

She is entitled to be a racist. Her husband was one. Their free speech is not affect my paychecks. The lawmakers who are pushing to make this extremist a saint is concerning. 

The big government nannies in the Republican Party want to push for bans, getting people fired and jailing dissent. Well, Israel also wants to have a role in it too.

We are seeing more surveillance cameras, more policing and more incompetent leadership from President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

On Wednesday, Kirk sat down with journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin to close out The New York Times DealBook Summit, a coveted spot that has previously featured luminaries such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Sorkin noted that her husband was slated to appear at the DealBook Summit before his assassination. 

Sorkin said that the subject of gun violence was something he and Charlie Kirk had often debated in the wake of mass shootings in America.

"He was a real believer, as you know, in the Second Amendment, and I'm curious how you think today about gun violence in America, given what happened to him," Sorkin said. 

"It's a thoughtful question," Kirk responded. "And I wouldn't wish upon anyone what I have been through. And I support the Second Amendment as well. I do. But there's a bigger and much deeper conversation to all of that." 

Kirk said when visiting college campuses, the counselors always say that the top issues students are facing are "mental health, anxiety [and] depression."

"And what Charlie knew, and he was trying to explain to students on campus, was that you have to understand that brain health is so important — how you eat, how you take care of yourself, how you nourish yourself, how you rest. And to him, it was much more deeper and intricate," Kirk told Sorkin at the DealBook Summit.

"And what I've realized through all of this is that you can have — you can have individuals that will always resort to violence. And what I'm afraid of is that we are living in a day and age where they think violence is the solution to them not wanting to hear a different point of view. That's not a gun problem. That's a human, deeply human problem. That is a soul problem. That is a mental — that is a very deeper issue," she continued.

Charlie and Erika Kirk at the Trump-Vance inauguration in 2025.

Kirk also revealed that she had removed all social media from her phone following her husband's murder. 

"Social media, like many things, it can be used for such good. And it can be used for such evil," Kirk said. "And Charlie and I both intentionally, especially after he was murdered, I took it all off my phone. I don't even have news apps on my phone. I have nothing on my phone. I let other people post for me and siphon through those comments. That is not — I do not have the brain space for that, and it would not be healthy for me either. I get called so many names, I genuinely don't care. I really don't. I told you this before — when you cast the bloody dead body of the person that you love, it pales in comparison to being called x, y, z."

She went on to say that while Charlie "understood the importance of social media," he would also "honor the Sabbath" and have them turn off their phones each week.

"It did not happen overnight. This is something that he leaned into. And on Friday night, when he would get home from work, he would turn off his phone and he would shove it in the junk drawer, and he would say, ‘Shabbat Shalom,’ shove it in the drawer, and he was full Dad mode, fooling with the kids, sports mode on Saturdays for college football, and he could breathe," Kirk said. "He had this sacred moment to just breathe and to rest and get away from the chatter, get away from the world and just have a moment to understand that life is so much bigger than the To-Do list, than the small problem that you're facing that you'll laugh at five years or five months, or five minutes from now. And he was really good about that."

I see they are planning on a film about his life. Trust me, the very folks who are trying to sanitize his most vile remarks about people are going to make him like some hero to free speech.

Kirk was a privileged white man who all the security around him and yet they couldn't protect him from a bullet to the damn neck. A man who wanted to claim that "gang violence" and "trans shooters" were factors to gun violence, bucked by his own kind. The same folks who he firmly believed were saviors to the country.

The year 2026, we're going to hopefully survive.

A "Peace" Of Trump's Rump Is On The Institute Of Peace!

Peace through strength.

A man who openly calls for violence against his critics wants to be a man of peace.

Jan. 6.

The support for Israel's genocide.

Pardoning unapologetic criminals.

Ordering killings on perceived threats without due process.

Attacking Iran, Yemen, Syria and Chad for what reason? To protect fucking Israel.

Yeah, tell us a story that is non fiction.

You know what is so fucked up about President Donald J. Trump. He can say things that could have the U.S. Secret Service investigate threats on politicial officials. Me and the rest of us, if you threaten the president, Vice President JD Vance, their family members or any member of the Trump Administration, expect a door knock, a possible criminal charge and your name in a data log. In that data log, the feds can ban you from planes, owning firearms, federal buildings and entry into the United States (if you are a non citizen).

The president wants his name on the U.S. Institute of Peace. It appears he will get it and of course face a legal threat. The president isn't a man of peace.

The Trump administration has renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace after the president and has planted the his name on the organization’s headquarters despite an ongoing fight over the institute’s control.

It’s the latest twist in a seesaw court battle over who controls the U.S. Institute of Peace, a nonprofit think tank that focuses on peace initiatives. It was an early target of the Department of Government Efficiency this year.

On Wednesday, the State Department said it renamed the organization to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace to “reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history.” The new name could be seen on its building, which is near the State Department.

Trump has spent months openly lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize even though he was passed over for this year’s installment — arguing he had a hand in easing a series of conflicts around the world. But Trump has also ordered strikes on suspected drug vessels off the coast of Venezuela and repeatedly threatened that attacks on land could be coming, which would be an act of war against that country.

The takeover of the Peace Institute was also anything but peaceful, with his administration seizing the independent entity and ousting its board before actually affixing his name to the building.

Anna Kelly, a White House spokesperson, said: “The United States Institute of Peace was once a bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year while delivering no peace. Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a President who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability.”

She added, “Congratulations, world!”

George Foote, a lawyer for the former Institute leadership and staff, said the renaming “adds insult to injury.”

“A federal judge has already ruled that the government’s armed takeover was illegal. That judgment is stayed while the government appeals, which is the only reason the government continues to control the building,” Foote said.

Since March, the headquarters has switched hands multiple times in court actions related to the DOGE takeover. A final decision on its fate is pending in federal appeals court.

USIP has maintained the organization is an independent creation of Congress and outside the president’s executive authority. The administration argues it is an executive branch organization.

After Trump fired the institute’s board in the the spring, the staff was fired as well and the building was turned over to the General Services Administration.

Trump plans on not leaving the White House.

A federal district court overturned the action in May, putting the headquarters back into the hands of USIP leadership. But that action was reversed weeks later by a federal appeals court.

Employees at this juncture have been fired twice and the building is in GSA’s possession.

The building is expected to be the backdrop for the signing of a peace agreement Thursday between Congo’s President Felix Tshisekedi and Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame. High-ranking officials from the African Union, Angola, Burundi, Kenya, Togo, Qatar, Uganda and the United Arab Emirates are also expected to attend the signing, according to Yolande Makolo, a senior adviser to Kagame.

The USIP website remained unchanged Wednesday night, but its lead item was headlined, “President Donald J. Trump to Sign Historic Peace Agreement at USIP Headquarters,” followed by a write-up of the deal between Congo and Rwanda that Trump was overseeing at the institute on Thursday.

The Institute of Peace was created by Congress in the 1980s. President Ronald Reagan signed the bill into law in 1985. Described as an independent, nonprofit think tank funded by Congress, its mission has been to work to promote peace and prevent and end conflicts while working outside normal channels such as the State Department. It was operating in 26 conflict zones, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Mali and Burkina Faso, when DOGE shut the operation down.

There is also broad speculation that Trump will be awarded a new peace prize from FIFA on the sidelines of the World Cup draw, happening in Washington on Friday.

Punch Drunk Raccoon!

Hello.

When people are intentionally sabotaging food to make domestic and wild animals very sick...

You can't fix stupid!

In Virginia, the Hanover County Animal Resource and Sheriff’s department are nt pleased with the latest discovery. A raccon was found inside a liquor store restroom and it appeared to be highly intoxicated.

That means the animal under some form of influence. They will likely have to euthanized it because it was exposed to things outside its normal omnivore diet.

The animal broke into the store and damaged a few bottles. When the bottles dropped on the ground, the raccoon licked up the fluids because of the sweet aroma.

According to the Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter, authorities found the "masked bandit" collapsed in the bathroom of the Ashland ABC Store Saturday morning, where the furry burglar had ransacked shelves and drank multiple types of alcohol.

In a social media post, officials said they took the "very intoxicated" raccoon back to the shelter to sober up before releasing him back into the wild.

"After a few hours of sleep and zero signs of injury (other than maybe a hangover and poor life choices), he was safely released back to the wild, hopefully having learned that breaking and entering is not the answer," the Facebook post read.

The Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter helps rescued animals if they are found in the wild.
Animal control sees an unconscious raccoon inside a restroom.

"The shelter provides veterinarian care for homeless or unwanted animals until they are adopted or placed with an animal rescue organization," the shelter's website reads.

Raccoons can be domesticated. Unfortunately, this raccon is a wild animal and has been exposed to human contact through feeding and unintentional contact with alcohol.

If they let the animal back into the wild, its extent assures a return. They will likely euthanize the animal due to the situation to prevent potential attacks if cornered.

If you find a raccoon inside your home or business, stay calm, secure the area by keeping people and pets away, and try to encourage the raccoon to leave on its own. If it doesn't leave or seems sick, contact a professional wildlife removal service or animal control for assistance. Avoid any direct contact with the animal, as they can carry diseases and become aggressive when they feel threatened. 

They will hiss at you and could bite if you proceed with contact with them. 

They are able to turn doorknobs, enter into small cracks, walls, floorboards and woodsheds. They eat primarily small insects, rodents, chickens, cats and spiders. They also eat berries, carrots and tomatoes. They are accustomed to human food.

Some raccoons carry could rabies and it could be extremely dangerous for them, pets or humans to have carriage of the disease.

Cover trash cans. If possible wash your tables and cans with soap and bleach to deter raccoons.
The raccoon caused modest damage inside Ashland, VA liquor store.


Can we get the Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I don't get why some of these people believe it's their mission to disrupt the lives of others. 

This is why Republicans are idiots. Democrats are idiots too but at least some of them have the sense to not engage in stupidity. Not saying all Republicans are idiots, but definitely the ones who voted for President Donald J. Trump are.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"

Interacting with uncontacted people is dangerous. Well, they are.... you know!"

If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.

Bonus: A Cleveland, Ohio woman was arrested after Springfield Township Police discover a raccoon was playing with her meth pipe during a traffic stop. It happened in May 2025 and made international headlines. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

GOP Holds Tennessee Seat!

Status quo prevails.

Tennessee 7th Congressional special election goes to the AIPAC-backed Republican.

The status quo continues on with lawmakers who continue to pander to voters with culture wars, endless support of Israel, ignoring real issues facing Americans, phony patriotism, stuck on stupid (let corrected that...): establishment voters. 

President Donald J. Trump's endorsement helped Matthew Van Epps become the replacement for the scandal plagued Mark Green.

Rep-elect Van Epps (R-TN) will likely be sworn in faster than Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ).

Hell, Reps. Randy Fine (R-FL) and Jimmy Patronis (R-FL) were sworn in two days after their win. Grijalva waited over 40 days before her swearing in.

Trump carried the 7th Congressional District by 22 points in 2024, Republican super PACs poured millions into defending the seat as Van Epps faced off against Aftyn Behn, a Democratic state representative. Democrats spent almost as much trying to capture it, as Trump’s political standing has taken a hit this year and the Democratic Party made gains in November elections in New Jersey, Virginia and other states.

Still, this red district remained Republican. Van Epps, an Army veteran and former state official, ran on reliably MAGA themes and promised to continue the legacy of Mark Green, a Republican who resigned from the seat this year.

But Democrats did significantly cut the GOP margin in the district from just a year ago. With most of the expected vote counted, Van Epps had a 9-point districtwide lead. It continues a pattern of Democrats making big gains in elections this year compared to the 2024 results.

While Behn had an advantage among people who voted early, Van Epps prevailed by running up the score in votes cast on Election Day itself — suggesting Republican efforts to ramp up turnout were successful.

Republicans cheered the results, with Trump writing in a Truth Social post, "Congratulations to Matt Van Epps on his BIG Congressional WIN in the Great State of Tennessee. The Radical Left Democrats threw everything at him, including Millions of Dollars. Another great night for the Republican Party!!! President DJT"

Democrats need to change course or they end up facing defeat. Aftyn Behn gave it her all but Republicans apparently turned out despite Trump’s failures.

Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters added in a statement, "Voters didn’t just reject Aftyn Behn and her anti-Tennessee, abolish-the-police agenda — they rejected the Democrats’ entire radical platform.”

But Democrats saw Behn's performance as a good sign for the party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

“What happened tonight in Tennessee makes it clear: Democrats are on offense and Republicans are on the ropes," Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin said in a statement, calling the results a "historic" overperformance and "a flashing warning sign for Republicans heading into the midterms."

National party figures flooded into the district ahead of election Day, and the two candidates engaged in a fiery, expensive ad war as both sides saw a low-turnout, closer-than-usual race developing.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin canvassed with Behn, who represents part of Nashville in the state House. Trump held tele-rallies for Van Epps and took to social media to urge Republican voters to turn out, and House Speaker Mike Johnson joined Van Epps in the district Monday.

Johnson (R-LA), and Van Epps seemed cautiously optimistic about their chances in an interview with Fox News at a rally in Franklin.

“A special election is an odd thing, anything can happen, so we take no vote for granted,” Johnson said, remarking that turnout is “often stifled” when elections don’t fall on the usual second Tuesday of November.

In an interview with NBC News in October, ahead of the primary, Van Epps said he was campaigning on “security, opportunity and prosperity” and touted Green’s work with the Trump administration on border security, saying it “serves as a good way to pick up the ball and run with it.” His campaign has also focused on the cost of living, with ads criticizing career politicians for “reckless spending” and saying costs are “out of control.”

Totally not gay House Speaker looking zesty at Matt Van Epps.

Republican groups spent over $3.5 million in ads attacking Behn and trying to make Van Epps’ case, according to AdImpact, an ad tracking firm. MAGA Inc., the primary super PAC aligned with Trump’s political operation, spent over $1.7 million in independent expenditures since it jumped into the race in mid-November.

The super PACs backing Van Epps worked to make Behn unelectable and persuade GOP voters to turn out to back Van Epps against her.

Super PACs backing Van Epps and conservative news outlets have used clips of Behn saying that she was “a very radical person” and that she “hates this city,” referring to Nashville. Trump got into the action, attacking Behn on social media and urging Republicans to go to the polls.

Democrats hit back in TV, radio and online ads, with House Democrats’ main super PAC spending more than $800,000 and Behn’s campaign spending over $1 million.

Behn and Democratic groups supporting her campaign attacked Van Epps in ads for saying he wouldn’t have voted for the bill to release files related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender. Trump signed the bill into law on Nov. 21 after having done an about-face on the legislative push.

Van Epps, a colonel in the Tennessee Army National Guard, plans to keep his commission while in Congress. He told NBC News in October that he’ll serve where he’s needed by House Republicans but said he’d like to join the House Armed Services Committee, given his background in the military.

She Didn't Fit The Mold Of Media Coverage!

Where are you Gabby?

Gabby Terrelonge, America failed you!

No one knows you're missing. You know why?

You aren't the type of person that gets the attention of President Donald J. Trump, Congress or the junk food media. You are not the type of person who will get an ounce of coverage by the podcasters who love to vilified one entire group for the actions of one.

Yeah, we are in dire times.

It has to be a massive response from Black activists on X or Facebook to drive national attention to this.

You just didn't fit in white...

A missing Black girl in Florida. Gabrielle Patricia Terrelonge was last seen on June 30, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, with her mother, Passha Davis. 

Davis, was arrested on unrelated charges in October 2025 and later charged with child neglect in November after she failed to provide information about Gabrielle's whereabouts. Davis, who is reportedly homeless and suffers from mental illness, is currently in jail and has been uncooperative with investigators.

Gabby was last seen in Orange County and the state has exhausted all its leads.

The junk food media labeled her as "at risk." Typical of describing Black children. It gives a perception that the girl was a troublemaker and came from a broken home.

The girl was reported missing by her father on Oct. 29 after her father learned that Davis had been arrested in Margate on Oct. 17, CBS News, Fox 13 Tampa Bay, and WPLG report.

Shortly after, the FBI issued a missing child alert.

Broward County Crime Stoppers offered a $5,000 reward for anyone with information about Gabrielle’s whereabouts, later raising it to $10,000.

Police body cam footage from Oct. 17 shows Davis refusing to identify herself when she was stopped by Margate police on suspicion of shoplifting, according to WPLG and CBS News, which aired the footage.

She was arrested and charged with unlawfully using a false name and resisting arrest, according to online court records.

During the stop, Davis never mentioned that her daughter was missing, the outlets report. That led to an investigation about the girl’s whereabouts, CBS News reports.

During a jailhouse interview on Oct. 31, when investigators asked Davis about her daughter, she allegedly told them the girl was with her father, police said, CBS News, WPLG and NBC 6 report.

She was released from jail on a $200 bond, online court records show.

Days later, on Nov. 4, Davis was arrested and charged with child neglect without great bodily harm, online court records show.

According to an arrest report obtained by CBS News, Gabrielle's father, Gordon Terrelonge, told police he hadn’t seen his daughter since May.

Gabby's father Gordon apparently lit into the mother who is a person of interest in his child's disappearance.

Davis remains held in Broward County jail on a $100,000 bond.

Davis appeared in court in South Florida after being ordered on Nov. 19 to undergo a mental health evaluation, and made an obscene gesture when she saw TV cameras in the courtroom, NBC 6 reports.

During the hearing, the judge told Davis the court was awaiting the results of the evaluation.

"Various parties have some concerns of how you’re doing from a mental health standpoint,” the judge explained, NBC 6 reports.

On Nov. 19, Gordon Terrelonge begged the public for help at a press conference, saying he was “desperate” to find her, CBS News reports.

"I beg, I'm begging from the bottom of my heart,” he said. "I just want to find my daughter. I want her to come home.”

With his daughter still missing, Terrelonge said he is not looking forward to the holiday season. "There's no holiday for me…unless we find her,” he said at the press conference, CBS News reports.

Davis’ public defender did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS or the FBI.

When will the junk food media cover the latest missing white woman or girl?

Oh, I forgot the "hostages" from Israel. That is certainly junk food media coverage. No talk about all the Palestinian hostages. All you hear is prisoners when you mention Palestinians.

If the victims are white, the Republicans and President Donald J. Trump will react to it in their hyperpartisan fashion.

We just breezed by a story that could have gotten national attention. Hell, it could have saved her life if we could have put the pressure on social media and drive it to national prominence.

It is like I am letting down all those missing Black, Brown Indigenous and transgender women. They are often victims of unfortunate circumstances but often vilified by the junk food media over past transgressions.

And this Israel females coverage. The coverage of these people are greater than that poor 5-year old girl who died by IDF terrorists while begging an operator to save her life.

Hind Rajab never had an opportunity to grow.

When Isrsel kills a large group of people, the victims images are shown. Israel dismisses it as a propaganda. Israel would make up allegations that the people killed were staged actors.

The plight of Palestinians and the plight of Black women. One in the same or just a coincidence?
Suspect isn't talking.

The white Israeli women are more important to the U.S. junk food media than American women who are Black, Indigenous, poor or coming from a troubled upbringing. 

The names of people who were local news stories. No national news coverage.

You know more about the Israeli women who were either settlers or IDF soliders being released from Gaza. They were given wall to wall coverage from U.S. media outlets.

Missing white woman syndrome is a term used by some social scientists and media commentators to denote perceived disproportionate media coverage, especially on television, of missing-person cases toward white females as compared to males, or females of color. Supporters of the phenomenon posit that it encompasses supposed disproportionate media attention to females who are young, attractive, white, and upper middle class. Although the term was coined in the context of missing-person cases, it is sometimes used of coverage of other violent crimes. The phenomenon has been highlighted in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and other predominantly white countries, as well as South Africa.

The phenomenon has led to a number of tough-on-crime measures, mainly on the political right, that were named for white women who disappeared and were subsequently found harmed. In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size, and youthfulness have been identified as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women was more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends, criminal history, or drug addiction, while coverage of white women often tended to focus on their roles as mothers, daughters, students, and contributors to their communities.

The Laken Riley Act is a controversial law that eliminates due process. An example of a missing woman, a criminal of color, political theater and more laws that eliminate freedoms under guise of protecting.

How many women of color are killed by white men?

Do white men often troll social media with "thoughts and prayers" to women of color?

It is an easy answer......!

Former kidnapping victim and victim's rights advocate Elizabeth Smart has pressed the junk food media to give attention to all people missing (especially woman of color). She voiced frustration over missing Black and indigenous woman who rarely get coverage.

Her case attracted major media attention and led to the arrest of two predators. She stated that the junk food media needs to do better when it comes to covering victims.

Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna want to see all missing persons found safely, regardless of color. However, we want the same amount of time spent to finding women of color, children, men and other women who never get the attention.

It's a real coined term to media coverage of missing white women who get nonstop coverage. You know more about this person than the thousands of people missing everyday.

In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size and youthfulness function as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women were more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends or a troubled past, while coverage of white women often tend to focus on their roles as mothers or daughters.

Black women and indigenous women are missing far more and yet they never get the attention that white women get. Think about Gabby Petito and the amount of attention she and her killer got.

Usually if the victim is a white woman and the suspect is Black or an immigrant, the Republicans will exploit the tragedy to encourage white nationalists to vote. 

The world may never see Colin Flaherty's rotten ass ever again.  However, there are more like him in the waiting. Believe me, Andy Ngo, Chaya Raichik, Benny Johnson, Candace Owens, Laura Loomer, Kevin Jackson, Jesse Lee Peterson, Larry Elder and Michelle Malkin will suck the cock of white supremacy for a buck.

Now That's What I Call, Antisemitism!

Rachel Acursso known as Ms. Rachel is vilified by Zionists because she believe children should deserve to live. Her support for Gaza has drew the ire of Israel and Zionists.

This is why it's important to just keep pushing and never let them stop you from doing what's right.

When young Americans are seeing children being blown up, Israeli Defense Soliders wearing the clothes of their victims, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lecturing Americans on what is justified opinionated concerns, the AIPAC lobby trying to deflect by painting critics as being bought by foreign influence, the ADL trying push censorship campaigns on social media, the deflections to blame Muslims, the calls to deport critics because they oppose Israel, calling people "antisemitic" and a "terrorist" to stifle critics is seriously backfiring.

Americans Are Tired Of The Status Quo.

The Resistance Must Stop Israel!✊️🇵🇸 🇮🇷 🇾🇪 🇮🇶 🇵🇰 🇹🇷 🇪🇬 🇨🇳 🇯🇵 🇪🇸 🇮🇪 🇱🇧 🇹🇳 🇮🇩 🇦🇫 🇰🇪 🇶🇦 🇿🇦 🇯🇴 🇴🇲 🇱🇾 🇳🇪 🇳🇬 🇲🇽 🇨🇺 🇯🇲 🇨🇴 🇻🇪 🇳🇿 🇰🇷 🇨🇳 🇪🇸 

Israel 🇮🇱 Will Be Destroyed. ☠️☠️☠️☠️

This 🇮🇱 And Zionism Will Be Regarded As A Symbol Of Evil In The 21st Century.

Antisemitism has become just fucking noise. Folks are tired of being censored because of opinions. 

Rachel Griffin-Accurso, known as Ms. Rachel is a media personality, educator and activist.

She is a mother, wife and daughter.

Before she was a famous media personality, she was an indie artist who sung inside nightclubs and preschool teacher.

The 43 year old had a large audience on social media. She is best known for creating the eponymous YouTube series Ms. Rachel, a children's music series focused on language development for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

She just celebrated her birthday on Nov, 30. What she got for a present?


A honor from a group that is a front organization for the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.

The group StopAntisemitism gave her the honor of being 2025's Antismite of the Year.

The Zionists are calling her an example of a white savior complex because she cares about children from Gaza. 

Other individuals nominated for the award include far right agitator Tucker Carlson, commentator Cenk Uygur, commentator Ana Kasparian, actress Cynthia Nixon, actress Marcia Cross, influencer Guy Christensen, far right influencer Stew Peters, UFC fighter/white nationalist Bryce Mitchell, and activist Calla Walsh.

Ms. Rachel has become a staunch advocate for Palestinian children amid the Gaza War. Since the start of the conflict on October 7, 2023, an estimated 20,000 children have been killed, according to Save the Children. Prior to the ceasefire agreement reached in October, surviving children have been subjected to famine and injury caused by military strikes.


Ms. Rachel has spoken out against the sufferings of the Palestinian children. However, Stop Antisemitism has challenged some of Ms. Rachel’s posts, some of which include “debunked” images of Palestinian children and inflated numbers.

“Since 10/7, Ms. Rachel has pushed Hamas propaganda to millions - sharing debunked images, inflated casualty claims, and almost entirely ignoring Israeli child victims,” Stop Antisemitism wrote on X. “She also hosted Motaz Azaiza, a terrorist sympathizer who celebrated the 10/7 massacre & openly idolizes Yahya Sinwar.”

Ms. Rachel first garnered the attention of Stop Antisemitism in April when she was named Antisemite of the Week after the group accused her of pushing "misinformation from Hamas."

She has vehemently rejected this classification, sharing with the New York Times that she has spent her life “committed to the learning and well-being of children.”

Rachel and Aron Acurrso founded Ms. Rachel for Littles, a child advocacy group.

I am reminded that President Donald J. Trump said that we will spread democracy through the barrel of a gun. It is almost similar to the rhetoric of Israeli leaders saying that Gazans are animals.

This apartheid ethnostate is notorious for hasbara and blackmail campaigns to silence critics. If they are a threat to Israel, they would use deadly attacks like the Sept. 2024 electronic devices blowing up in Beruit, Lebanon.

So this group once again called StopAntisemitism has labeled a list of entertainers, media personalities and several controversial far right on this list of "anti-semities of the week."

Social media influencer Liora Rez founded StopAntisemitism as StopAntisemitism.org in October 2018 to monitor and expose online antisemitism. Rez was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, then in the Soviet Union, where her family experienced antisemitism. 

She started her social media career in 2013, under the name "Jewish Chick".

The Free Speech Karen. This white woman runs StopAntisemities. She is a bigot who devotes her entire career to labeling critics of Israel antisemitic. Say hi to Liora Rez.

Israel has become one of the biggest road blocks in the Democratic Party. Also the age issue is haunting the party. Many of the leaders are old, tired and stuck on the 20th Century's leading the party.

Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue when criticizing Israel, Jews, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, former president Joe Biden, former vice president Kamala Harris, most members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, the Canary Mission, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

They are the cause of global instability in the world.

Again, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing religious beliefs, there is no antisemitism when criticizing the Jews.

To clear up the Western-back junk food media's account of Oct. 7, the Israelis used the Hannibal Directive to massacre the settlers to prevent Hamas from taking IDF soliders. The IDF has used the weapons to kill settlers at a festival.

Hamas has been very clear on who they targeted. They targeted the IDF and the walls. They do not target civilians. Israel has exaggerated the way this went down.

Israel has used American weapons to kill children, women, men, their own settlers, journalists, doctors, humanitarian aid workers, UN peacekeepers and their own IDF soliders. Israel has killed Americans, British, German, Australian, Canadians and French citizens. 

No investigations were carried out to why Israel targeted them.

Israel refuses to allow independent journalists and monitors into Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.

IDF soliders who refuse to carry out orders are often taken out by snipers.

The "hostages" were IDF soliders. 

Israel is repeatedly violating the Trump backed ceasefire. They continue its invasion of Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. They have stopped humanitarian aid and attacked any attempts by volunteers or independent surveyors. 

This is not antisemitism. It's a coordinated op to silence dissent.

Some I have noted.

Louis Farrakhan never threatened to kill anyone. Farrakhan, the longtime leader of the Nation of Islam has often criticized U.S. involvement in the Middle East, calls Israel a country of swine, claimed 9/11 as a false flag, slammed the social media companies for banning him but allowing Zionists who threaten people online. Because of his speeches, he is banned in five countries. He never called for the deaths of individuals unlike the white Christian extremists.

Former lawmaker Cori Bush (D-MO) has voted with her conscience and is one of the few lawmakers without an AIPAC handler. Her replacement Rep. Wesley Bell (D-MO) is the status quo of Isrseli influence in the Democratic Party. She declared she is running for Congress to defeat Bell.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has voted against every foreign aid bill including Israel. He openly says that Israel has a firm grip on the Republican Party. Massie said that every member including Trump, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) are compromised. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has also opposed Israel and demanded the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump turned on her and called for primary challengers. The betrayal led to Greene resigning.

Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Summer Lee (D-PA) and Delia Rameriez (D-IL) survived AIPAC challengers and have voice anger at Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) and Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) about Israel and the foreign influence within the Democratic Party. They voiced anger at the defeats of Bush and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and the threats on their lives.
