Charlie Kirk took a bullet to the neck and the junk food media were calling for people to lower the temperature. Of course, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Ben Shaprio, Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, Shannon Watts, Neera Tenden, Bill Maher and Sean "Softball" Hannity keep the temperature hot, hot, hot..
Anthony Kazmierczak will get 10 months in federal time out after he tried to spray Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) with a liquid. The lawmaker who stands at 5'1" with heels is one of the four Muslim members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), André Carson (D-IN), Lateefah Simon (D-CA) and Aisha Wahab (D-CA) are Muslim Americans.
Two more members will join if they're elected. Adam Hamawy and Dariliza Avila Chevalier are expected to easily win their races come this November.
The 56 year old extremist was sentenced about eight months after the January assault, in which Omar was not hurt and continued her event following his arrest.
He was charged with assaulting a U.S. officer with what authorities deemed was a liquid mixture of water and apple cider vinegar, and was unable to explain his actions in court.
The incident with Omar, a refugee from Somalia, occurred amid increased tension over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown that led to federal agents killing two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Omar was about to bring the Black out of her... She was damn near close to throwing bows on the suspect.
When it comes to Trump, he can make you or break you.
Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) is going to be added to the list of President Donald J. Trump's headaches. The Republicans are very concerned that the president is going to cost them the House and maybe the Senate.
The average price of gas is $4.69⁹. Diesel price is $6.89⁹.
But hey, let's talk about immigration, socialism, Hasan Piker, radical Islam, woke, DEI, communism, antisemitism and Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Salazar, a vocal supporter of Trump had released a campaign ad criticizing his aggressive deportation strategy. Many of the curmudgeon's staunchest supporters were Cubans, Haitians and Venezuelans.
Well ICE is removing everyone even the civilians who aren't U.S. citizens.
Salazar who is in competitive race despite her district being favorable towards her shook the Republican National Committee and House Republican Conference.
“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far. In July, 50% of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record. Be careful what your advisors are telling you about immigration policy. The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today,” she warned in the ad, which ran in both English and Spanish.
Salazar’s ad landed with the impact of a political earthquake as pundits from both sides of the aisle were stunned to see a Republican in a seat Trump won by 15 points so publicly breaking with him.
She cautions Trump that the exact same Hispanic voters who propelled him back to the White House in the 2024 election currently "feel betrayed" by his administration's broad-sweeping tactics.
She explicitly tells the president, "Be careful about what your advisors are telling you about immigration policies," heavily implying his hardline immigration architects are leading him astray politically.
Democratic challenger Elliott Rodriguez has dismissed the ad as a calculated political move to distance herself from the administration’s policies at the eleventh hour. The White House did not immediately issue a public response to the ad.
Salazar posted a photo of herself on social media with Trump, saying that when the twice-impeached former president occupied the White House there was no inflation, no socialist policies, no open borders – among other items.
The congresswoman did not wade into the election denial conspiracy which is the center of Trump’s re-election bid. He also faces 91 charges across four criminal cases and recently was ordered to pay $354 million for committing fraud through his businesses and $83 million to E. Jean Carroll for defamation after a judge determined he was liable for raping her.
The far right has publicly called for her to be thrown out of office and out of the United States.
Wondering why Karl Rove said he will vote for a Democrat?
Wondering why John Fetterman said he will vote for a Republican?
Wondering why Jasmine Crockett is still bitter over James Talarico?
Wondering why Marjorie Taylor Greene turning a page from bombastic extremist to somewhat rational civilian?
Questions to why our elected leaders and public figures are constantly making our country stupid?
Most of the opening acts are pulling away from Ed Sheeran. Other venues are pulling from Gillette Stadium. Many are calling for boycotting Sheeran, P!NK and Robert Kraft.
Yearly wrap up.
Sheeran was given an ultimatum. They told him to dump rapper Macklemore or you're not welcomed at any stadium venue.
Sheeran took the low road and the backlash came fresh.
The asshole from the Anti-Defamation League reacts to the news of Macklemore being dropped.
Jonathan Greenblatt wrote: "Glad to see Macklemore off Ed Sheeran's tour ... For years, Macklemore has pushed antisemitic tropes and demonized Israel and Israelis. Now he certainly has the [First Amendment] right to speak out and express his views, but demonizing Jews and Israelis shouldn't be rewarded."
Aaron Rowe, Finneas, and Lukas Graham, all the remaining opening acts for the tour, as well as Irish band Beoga, who had joined as his backing band for a segment of the show, announced on September 15th that they were dropping out of the remaining tour dates in solidarity. Several acts who had opened for Sheeran prior to Macklemore's opening at MetLife Stadium, including Myles Smith, Amble and BIIRD, have come out with support for Macklemore and the people of Palestine.
Sheeran his team removed Macklemore as a supporting act from Sheeran's Loop Tour after Macklemore's onstage "free Palestine" statements during two performances in New Jersey. The removal came after pressure from venue owners, including the American pro-Israel businessman Robert Kraft. After this decision, all the remaining opening acts for the tour—including Aaron Rowe, Finneas, and Lukas Graham, as well as Irish band Beoga—withdrew in solidarity with Macklemore and the Palestinian people.
Macklemore announced his removal from the tour in an Instagram post nearly 1,000 words long. He said it came after a week of "difficult conversations" with Sheeran that ended "in a place of fundamental disagreement."
In his statement, Macklemore said: "Before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families. The victims are the Palestinian people."
Macklemore said that Sheeran had told him Robert Kraft, whose Kraft Group owns Gillette Stadium, had barred him from performing there and persuaded other stadium owners to issue a similar ultimatum. Macklemore criticized Sheeran for not taking a stance on Gaza, writing: "Taking a side can cost you. Money, brand deals, sponsorships, festivals, private shows, relationships and access. I've lost all of those things. But there is no neutral position between the oppressor and the oppressed.
More Americans hate billionaires.
On September 16, Macklemore announced in an Instagram post that he would donate $1 million, his entire net earnings from Sheeran's tour to six organizations supporting Palestinians: the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, HEAL Palestine, Gaza Soup Kitchen, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Anera, and the UNRWA USA National Committee.
He said he wanted to "bring the conversation back where it belongs," writing, "Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protection. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any life on this earth."
Macklemore challenged Kraft to match the donation.
In his statement, Macklemore said he wanted to "center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in," as well as "the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine," whose risk he said was "of a far different order than mine."
He described donating money as "one of the least costly forms of solidarity" available to him, saying he was doing so because the recipient organizations were "doing the work while much of the world debates it."
Macklemore added that "aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary," calling the situation in Gaza and the West Bank "a manmade injustice" requiring "immediate political change."
He also referenced the death of 15-year-old Muhammad al-Zinati, whom he said was killed in an Israeli strike on September 15 while attempting to help an injured aid worker.
The Washington Times reported that Kraft has donated tens of millions of dollars to organizations combating antisemitism, including more than $20 million to the "Stand Up to Jewish Hate" campaign, and similarly to Rolling Stone noted that a spokesman for Kraft declined to comment on Macklemore's invitation to match the donation.
The outlet also noted that, separate from Macklemore's claim that Kraft organized a pressure campaign among venue owners, several venues independently notified the tour's promoter that they would not host a show with Macklemore on the bill, and that Kraft had not addressed whether he had personally organized that pressure.
Do not underestimate the power of protest.
Hours after Macklemore's statement, Robert Kraft released a statement in which he spoke of his long fight against antisemitism, agreed with Macklemore on the suffering of the Palestinians, evoked the responsibility of Hamas, invited Macklemore to meet, and said they had "peace for all people" as a common goal.
In his statement Kraft said: "Much of my time and attention for the last decade has been focused on the fight against antisemitism and hate of all kinds, and I feel a responsibility to stand up when I believe that line has been crossed."
Kraft added that "This decision is not about diminishing the suffering of innocent Palestinians or denying anyone the right to advocate on their behalf," and that, "Their pain and loss is real."
Kraft argued that support for Palestinians "should not come at the expense of the Jewish community or obscure the responsibility of Hamas, a United States and globally … designated terrorist organization whose horrific actions have caused immeasurable suffering for Palestinians and Israelis alike."
Kraft added, "I would welcome the opportunity to sit down with Macklemore and discuss the facts, because ultimately our goal is the same — peace for all people, an end to suffering, and an end to all hate."
According to Adam Reilly for WGBH, "Kraft did not dispute Macklemore’s claims" and "seemed to allude to Macklemore’s 2014 performance in a costume that was widely regarded as antisemitic in explaining Kraft’s actions." Kraft's statement did not address whether or not he had lobbied other stadium owners.
Colin Kaepernick, a former National Football League player known for kneeling during the US national anthem in protest of systemic racism in the U.S., said NFL owners "are openly colluding" against Macklemore.
Abdullah Hammoud, the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, which is home to one of the largest Arab communities in the United States, invited Macklemore to perform at a concert sponsored by the city.
Well Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) isn't putting her finger down for James Talarico.
Just like Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI), Crockett isn't winning any of my support. These women are simping for that apartheid genocidial ethnostate and Democrats are going to find themselves in a reckoning come November.
If the Blue Wave does come, it comes with a price.
Crockett faces heat for giving a Congressional Record to Chris Brown and Usher. She said they offer "Black joy" for Texans. The backlash is the endless temper tantrums which turn violent when Chris Brown get drunk, high or coked up. He is bipolar and hyperactive.
Crockett lost to Talarico in the March primary. She started her campaign late. She thought her fiery confrontations with President Donald J. Trump, Republican House members and the junk food media would be a key to victory.
Nope.
James Talarico managed to pick up John Cornyn's campaign coordinators.
Critics and strategists cited an unfocused campaign organization with an insufficient ground game and virtually nonexistent get-out-the-vote efforts.
Her media strategy relied too heavily on national social media presence rather than building broad traditional statewide name recognition.
Talarico built a broader "big-tent" movement that performed strongly in urban liberal areas like Austin, expanded into rural and deep-red parts of the state, and won over key demographics such as white and Hispanic voters.
Crockett faced criticism that her more combative, nationally recognized style and past remarks were out of step with the wider statewide electorate needed to win a general election in red Texas.
Well over in the Republican side, Karl Rove has publicly denounced Bo French, the Republican candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner. He endorsed his Democratic opponent Jon Rosenthal.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), the outgoing member reposted The Wall Street Journal opinion page which Rove, a former political hitman for former George W. Bush stated in over 30 years as a full fledge Republican he couldn't bring himself to vote for a candidate that poses a threat to Republican outreach to minority groups. French made horrific remarks about South Asians and Blacks as they were celebrating Texas Longhorns comeback victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes.
This doofus Ken Paxton is likely to win. Can the predictions be wrong?
Cornyn signaled alignment with Rove's position. This move deepens a massive fissure within the Texas GOP following the highly contentious Republican primary runoff earlier this year, where Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated the incumbent Cornyn following a late endorsement from President Donald J. Trump.
Talarico’s campaign has actively capitalized on the internal Republican divide. He recently hired Jacob Smith—Cornyn's former deputy legislative director—to serve as his deputy policy director. Polling indicates that as many as one in three Republicans who voted for Cornyn in the primary runoff now plan to vote for Talarico in the general election.
If Cornyn does cross the line, it could make some impact on the election.
I still have this race at Solid Republican. It will have to take a crucial moment for Talarico to at least get me to change my honest take on the race.
Joe Manchin, the former West Virginia senator who is an independent but caucus with the Democrats during his time cross party to endorse curmudgeons Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in Maine and Mike Rogers in Michigan senate races.
If you want to protect the status quo, vote for Ken Paxton.
If you want a candidate that can work to solve problems and work effectively, vote for James Talarico.
Thirst thot Jasmine Crockett presents Chris Brown an award.
Almost 20 years ago, Chris Brown became synonymous with domestic violence. The singer and rapper was then in a brief relationship with Rihanna. The entertainer struck Rihanna so bad it lead to a boycott and major backlash against him.
He was arrested and convicted of felonious assault.
The case attracted widespread media attention. He was sentenced to five years of probation, community service, and mandatory domestic violence counseling. In the years since, Brown has faced a number of civil lawsuits and criminal cases arising from allegations of assault and other misconduct, while also taking legal action himself in response to allegations made against him, including defamation lawsuits in which he prevailed.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) gave up her safe seat to run for the Senate. She ended up losing to James Talarico, a state representative who generated national buzz for his clean cut, youthful, passive Christianity. Talarico is facing off against Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General who defeated Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) despite his endless controversies.
Crockett has not endorsed or campaigned with Talarico since the primary.
Crockett continues to generate controversy. She went to the Chris Brown and Usher concert.
She presented the entertainers an award it generated fierce backlash from the very people she counted on during the primary, Black women.
While she is a federal official and is entitled to serve constituents as well as entertainers, her presentation to Brown is rewarding an endless pattern of bad behavior.
Crockett appeared alongside state Rep. Venton Jones to announce that Brown and Usher would both have their names entered into the Congressional Record, a ceremonial honor.
Jones quickly apologized for the controversy.
Crockett embraced Brown on stage and talked about “experiencing Black joy at the highest level” without apparently acknowledging his lengthy history of domestic violence allegations.
Crockett is unapologetic about her views. Her controversies are almost similar to former lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Glenn.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) (born Addison Mitchell McConnell), 84 returns to the Senate after four damn months of being absent. The old fart was wheeled into the chamber.
McConnell recovered from a fall. The curmudgeon was former Republican leader. He held the title longer than most members.
"Today, I'll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June," McConnell said in a statement. "I'm really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues."
McConnell, who was in a wheelchair, briefly addressed journalists outside the Senate chamber this afternoon before heading to the floor to cast his first vote since June 11.
"After two years -- two decades -- of dodging your questions, I wasn't sure how many of you would be here today," McConnell joked at the outset. "So I am glad to see you. It is time to get back to work and finish the job for this Congress."
McConnell said he would be focused on the farm bill -- which previously failed to advance out of committee due to McConnell's absence.
"As you know, I have an ongoing interest in NATO and backing up our good friends who are totally in the fight against the Russians," he said.
McConnell said in his Monday statement that he was not yet fully recovered but that he would try to be present for critical votes.
"My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier. I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’ve assured Leader Thune that, as I continue with physical therapy on the advice of my doctors, I will do my best to be present for tough votes when our Conference needs me," McConnell said.
McConnell was hospitalized on June 14 for reasons that were initially undisclosed in statements from his office. Subsequent statements from the senator revealed that he had suffered a fall that left him hospitalized.
After weeks of inpatient rehabilitation treatment, McConnell announced in an Aug. 6 statement that he'd be continuing his recovery at home.
Before Monday, the senator had not been seen publicly since the June 14 fall. McConnell has missed six weeks of Senate business in Washington since his injury.
In statements issued during his recovery, the senator has said he's keeping up with his work in the Senate.
"On the advice of my doctors, I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business," McConnell said in an Aug. 6 statement.
Okay, so when people claim the Jews control the narrative, does dropping Macklemore count?
The free speech debate and Free Palestine.
The rapper and activist Macklemore was removed from future concerts with headliner Ed Sheeran. It was done in part of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, a sex pest curmudgeon boomer who donates to that curmudgeon president, Donald J. Trump and his curmudgeon ally Benjamin Netanyahu.
Kraft pressured the sport owners to deny venue if Sheeran kept Macklemore on the roster.
Also P!NK is catching strays for being involved in this.
Pink is a singer, actress and activist. She criticized Macklemore for making remarks which she interpreted as hateful.
P!nk caught flack for backing Macklemore being dropped.
Macklemore faced heavy backlash and online criticism following a pro-Palestinian speech and the use of related imagery during a performance at MetLife Stadium.
Macklemore used his performance platform at MetLife Stadium and other stops to call for a "Free Palestine," project images from the war in Gaza, and address Jewish audience members by stating his criticism was directed at the Israeli government's actions rather than Jewish people.
Pink criticized Macklemore's statements and pointed to past controversies, stating that concertgoers should not feel targeted or scared, though she noted she did not explicitly ask for him to be silenced.
According to Macklemore's public statement, Robert Kraft called Ed Sheeran to say Macklemore could not perform at Gillette Stadium. Macklemore alleged that Kraft then coordinated with other major venue owners to issue an ultimatum to Sheeran's team: keep Macklemore on the tour, or lose access to their venues entirely.
Kraft and his group defended the decision, while organizations like the Israeli-American Civic Coalition (IAC) praised the removal, arguing that concerts should not be used to push a political agenda.
Keep this in mind when a performer like Jerry Seinfeld is a headliner or Ye.
Wondering how Ed Sheeran and Meek Mill get so chummy with Epstein class player Robert Kraft?
They are playing on egg shells with this.
Groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) or StopAntisemitism monitor media, academia, and entertainment. They frequently lobby corporations, universities, and venues to fire individuals, cancel events, or pull funding from figures they accuse of promoting antisemitism or extreme anti-Israel rhetoric.
The transition into prejudice occurs when the actions of these specific, powerful actors are blamed on the entire religious or ethnic group. For example, saying "evangelical political organizations are censoring libraries" targets a specific political movement. Saying "Christians are trying to control what we read" generalizes a massive, diverse population. The same logic applies to the Jewish community: holding all Jewish people collectively responsible for the actions of specific lobbying groups or wealthy executives invokes the harmful trope of a unified, shadowy conspiracy.
So let me get this straight, the people who filmed the set were offended by a performer who clearly expressed his opinion about the ongoing genocide being conducted by that apartheid genocidial ethnostate. They claimed that he made them feel unsafe.
Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and John Fetterman in Zio Buggy.
Joe Manchin, the former West Virginia senator who was elected as a Democrat but became an independent around 2024 endorses Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Mike Rogers.
That old fart appeared on CNBC to officially endorsed Collins for her reelection campaign, praising her as the "soul of the Senate". He strongly contrasted her against her progressive Democratic challenger, Troy Jackson.
Manchin expressed strong support for former Representative Mike Rogers, who is running for an open Senate seat. Manchin called Rogers a "good person" who would "do a great job," noting his opposition to Rogers' progressive Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed. However, Manchin added a caveat that Rogers needs to denounce President Donald J. Trump's trade policies to secure a win.
Manchin’s public comments that he is "not okay" with El-Sayed becoming a senator mirror recent high-profile GOP attacks. El-Sayed recently went on CNN to strongly reject similar attempts by Vice President JD Vance to paint his background and progressive policies as "evil" or "extreme," arguing that these attacks are just cynical fear-mongering designed to divide working-class voters.
An old fart endorsing two old farts.
Progressive activists and critical race theorists argue that both conservative policies and moderate incrementalism sustain systemic inequality. From this perspective, failing to actively dismantle oppressive systems—whether through conservative opposition or moderate compromise—functions to protect existing racial hierarchies.
During a voting rights rally, King's family and progressive critics explicitly compared Sinema and Manchin to the exact "white moderate" Dr. King warned about in his Letter from Birmingham Jail—someone who claims to support the goals of equality but prioritizes a lack of political tension over meaningful justice.
The rotating villain is a politican who is elected by the political party but votes against the party that person ran on. Often claiming the "purple/swing district" bullshit.
In reality, moderates are problematic because they are pussies who will not abandon the status quo.
Just to inform you about why Boomers suck, Manchin, Rogers and Collins are in the 70s.
Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA), Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have been constant roadblocks to the Democratic agenda. It is time to kick these white extremists out the party.
Progressives, this "Vote Blue No Matter Who" bullshit is over.
When you hear the far right obsess over transgender Americans, Hasan Piker, Muslims, "ghetto Black bitches", the left, DEI and woke, tell yourselves: It wasn't really about the economics turmoils!
President Donald J. Trump has promised to give Americans a $5,000 check. The catch.
Keep Republicans in power.
Last week at the Republican Midterm Convention, the curmudgeon already spent trillions on his ballroom, this so called arch, the Jan. 6 "slush fund" and the war in Iran (our small potatoes).
Two years into this chaotic term, we seen the spike in gas, diesel, food, housing, shipping, insurance, energy and water usage.
Walmart, the country's largest retailer warns that consumer spending is on the decline.
Dollar Tree, the country's largest discounter is about to raise prices to name brand products that will sail past $10. Off brand products that are $1.25 will soar to $2 or more.
Canada is now tempted to become an associated member of the European Union.
Mexico is considering joining BRICS.
Israel has continued attacking Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and allowing those terrorists continue to kill Palestinians in the West Bank. They are pushing for war in Türkiye.
So what is going on with the rest of us?
Well the "working class" is working more and not receiving the dues of this hard labor.
Social Security faces insolvency in 2032, at which point beneficiaries will see a 22% cut in benefits unless Congress acts first to shore up the system. Among Americans ages 65 and older, 40% rely on Social Security for half or more of their income, while about 14% of recipients 65 and older depend on it for 90% or more of their income, according to AARP.
Lawrence Samuel expects Social Security, which provides retirement benefits to more than 68 million older adults, to eventually fade away.
All your earned money put aside to your retirement will be wiped.
“I think ultimately it will go away; politicians just don’t want to go there. It’s from the 1930s, from the Depression, and it was catered to the ‘Greatest Generation’ and it was seen as old-age insurance,” Samuel said. “Eventually, we’ll move away from that. It could be decades, it could be generations. I don’t think it fits in this model of this new thing we’re creating of the gig economy and older workers back in the workplace.”
When Social Security was created in the 1930s, life expectancy at birth was lower than the retirement age of 65 — roughly 60 years for men and 64 years for women. That life expectancy, however, was heavily skewed by high infant mortality, according to the Social Security Administration.
Now, overall life expectancy in the U.S. is at an average age of 79, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That means people have greater potential for living longer in retirement, running out of money and struggling with purpose in life.
“There’s ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’; haves, who have savings or their nest egg or pensions or 401(k), are able to pursue structure and engagement and meaning and purpose. For a big part of the population, it’s about survival — it’s about putting food on the table and paying the rent. There need to be resources to connect [age-]55-plus employers to the workers who can fill these slots,” Samuel said.
He expects older workers to stay in the workforce longer as Americans live longer. About 19% of Americans age 65 and older participated in the labor force in 2025, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“Retirement — it’s not the right word anymore. Purpose is the right word. Human beings need a reason to wake up and get out of bed every morning,” Samuel said. “We’re worker bees. We’re trained in the Protestant work ethic from day one. We’re coming around back to the late 19th century, to where it started before this thing came to be — which is a real positive.”
So what’s next for retirement? It’s over, Samuel said.
“Don’t quit. Keep your job — keep it despite having an annoying boss or colleagues. Keep the health insurance coming as long as you can,” Samuel said. “Keep your job and try to pursue your passions.”
This is what the Golden Age looks like. Watching boomers like Trump take all the wealth while those between 16 and 55 are literally dying working.
Working hard will no longer provide the luxury of a home, a nice care or a vacation.
It provides more stress and a ticket to the funeral home.
Why can't y'all talk about real issues facing Americans?
Classic trolling from the Democratic senate candidate.
The University of Michigan Wolverines upset the Oklahoma Sooners in a thrilling game.
Michigan's rival, the Ohio State University Buckeyes took a shocking loss to the University of Texas-Austin Longhorns after dominating the game.
It was a good day for him. He took time to attend the Michigan State Fair and attend the tailgate in Ann Arbor. He said that his opponent was so concerned being in Dallas and being a lackey to the curmudgeon president.
Democratic senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is getting frustrated. He is getting tired of seeing Michigan roads with potholes. He is tired of the power grid failing during weather events. He is tired of gun violence plaguing the 10 largest cities in Michigan. He is tired of gas prices being over $4 for vehicles ($6 for diesel). He is tired of watching Americans make the choice of putting aside groceries, doctor visits, dental visits, mechanics, vacations and home buying because the cost of living is too damn high. He is concerned about the Iran War putting a global impact on our economy. He is concerned about the trade war with Canada which is expected to skyrocket everyday goods. He is sick and tired of the President of the United States, the Vice President, their families and allies getting rich. He is sick and tired of his Republican opponent using distractions. He is sick and tired of the junk food media asking him about Hasan Piker.
On Bari Weiss' Face The Nation, guest host Weijia Jiang filling in for Margret Brennan once again brought up Piker which El-Sayed quickly shot back stating that the who conversation was supposed to be about artificial intelligence (AI).
El-Sayed said Sunday that there are "a lot of real risks" in artificial intelligence, warning of the "pace of technological development outpacing the pace of safety" amid discourse around imposing safeguards on the industry in recent days.
"We collectively have to decide that we need public oversight so that all of this technology is not being created for the interests of a few against the well-being of a many," El-Sayed said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."
Last week, a former Anthropic researcher sparked widespread concern about the pace of AI development when he publicly resigned and claimed that the rapidly developing technology could threaten humanity. Then on Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on AI companies to move forward with the technology's development with caution, with a three-point plan focused on "pacing the frontier." OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Saturday agreed with Amodei, calling a commitment to having independent evaluators a "great idea." And Elon Musk, owner of SpaceXAI, concurred, saying simply, "Dario is right."
In an interview with CBS "Sunday Morning," Amodei acknowledged that "for too long the industry lied to people about the fact that this technology had risks."
El-Sayed, a former Michigan health official, has campaigned on an AI proposal he released in June, which includes turning AI companies into public trust organizations. He said on Sunday that doing so would "allow the best of technological innovation to continue forward while making sure that there are guardrails."
Mike Rogers and his "Democrats for Israel" group.
"If you had public oversight over this in the form of democratically elected or appointed members of at least 50% of all of these public trust corporations, you would imagine that they'd act far more focused on what is in the public good rather than what is for the private benefit of a few billionaires," El-Sayed said. "That's what we're proposing."
The Democratic Senate nominee outlined other parts of the plan, saying "we need a public agency focused directly on the safety of AI, and there need to be AI no-gos."
So many of the far right and centrists are wrapping their flags around Hasan Piker, a progressive agitator instrumental in El-Sayed's victory over Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in the bitter Michigan primary.
El-Sayed clearly had told the junk food media that Michigan issues matter more than Piker. He said that Piker's concerns should not be ignored but said clearly that his words aren't the campaign and he would love for the issues to be about Michigan..
Democrats for Mike Rogers rears its head. A handful of pro Israel, former Democrats decided to cross the line and declare Rogers will get their vote.
Tucker Carlson, a far right media agitator and white nationalist said that he cannot fathom backing Rogers despite both being far right. He believes El-Sayed is America focused. Carlson defended El-Sayed in his newsletter and podcast discussions, arguing that El-Sayed's comments regarding the civilian death toll and fallout from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were factual and not supportive of terrorism. Carlson also sharply criticized Mike Rogers, stating he wouldn't vote for him "at gunpoint". They interpret it as an endorsement.
Television personality and former circuit judge Judith B. Sheindlin will retire.
Judge Judy is a popular courtroom syndicated on most television stations across the United States. It was on for 25 years and is syndicated through CBS Paramount Television.
Her revial show Judy Justice is expected to finish its full tapings in October and the series will conclude in May. Amazon MGM Television owns the rights to that program.
Judy Sheindlin was born on October 21, 1942, in Brooklyn, New York, to German-Jewish parents Murray and Ethel Blum. Sheindlin is a former Manhattan Family Court Prosecutor, Supervising Family Court Judge and Judge Judy television series arbitration star of 25 years. She is the arbitrator and sole creator of Judy Justice.
The 83-year-old told People that when “Judy Justice” wraps in October, she will be moving away from on-camera work to focus on other endeavors.
She will also help produce her son’s syndicated courtroom TV show, “Adam’s Law,” which is slated to debut Monday, several news outlets report.
Sheindlin earned her law degree from New York Law School and was appointed to the Family Court bench in 1982, later becoming supervising judge in Manhattan.
She gained a reputation for her direct, no-nonsense style, and after appearing on “60 Minutes,” she was recruited for television, launching the syndicated courtroom show “Judge Judy” in 1996.
The show became a phenomenon, running on daytime television through 2021.
Sheindlin then made a move to streaming with “Judy Justice” in 2021, with the successful program running through this year.

Keep playing and you may be the one losing come election day.
Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) has pissed me off to a point where I would not even give a fuck if this bitch loses her seat to the Republican. We not playing games with these idiots.
It would be the ultimate irony if Abdul El-Sayed becomes senate-elect and Scholten will be heading home.
Nothing is promised or guaranteed in this Midterm.
El-Sayed has to walk the long fine line of being a person of color, a Muslim, a progressive and a mouth.
Scholten refuses to back El-Sayed because of her petty ass feud with media agitator Hasan Piker.
It has Democrats infighting. There are some who will vote for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson but vote for Republican Mike Rogers. There are people who determined to deflate the momentum.
AIPAC has increased spending for Rogers.
Well media personality Teri Deboer is hoping to capitalize on it. The former meteorologist and news agitator is now becoming a serious threat.
Her seat is considered Likely Democrat from Safe Democrat.
See there is a candidate for the Green Party named Joe Jock. He could be the 4% of angry progressives getting sick and tired of these lawmakers being total assholes.
See Scholten thinks opinions from an agitator are more important than the message El-Sayed has relentlessly spoke on.
Replacing a pro Israel Democrat with a pro Israel Republican will make Grand Rapids lose. They will send your tax dollars to commit war crimes and defense of a white nationalist apartheid genocidial ethnostate.
How can we make our country more affordable?
Why is big money constantly influencing our politicians when it should be in the interest of the people who elected them to serve?
Why should Americans be forced to choose between putting off groceries, vacations, doctor visits, dental visits, homebuying, a mechanic or a job interview because of daycare?
How can we make health care more affordable?
Why is our country fighting a war or aiding a country (explicitly committing war crimes) with our tax dollars?
Why are our lawmakers more concerned with the free speech of people who are media agitator instead of the policies that are affecting everyone?
Jock and DeBoer are considered novice to Scholten. But all that can change if she keeps running her mouth about issues that aren't focused on Michigan.
Scholten represents Grand Rapids, Allendale, Kentwood, Rockford and Muskegon in Michigan's 3rd Congressional District.
