I'm Dying To Get Back!

We dying to fucking up everything.

Damn shame that Kentucky is Soild Republican. 

With Democratuc opponent Charles Booker being a sacrificial goat and perennial candidate, it is almost assured that Rep. [Garland Hale] "Andy" Barr (R-KY) will be likely the next senator.

It is disappointing that Addison Mitchell McConnell will be regarded as one of the boomers who ruined the country as a senator. The turtle looking senator got into Washington being known as a master strategist who prioritized party unity. He focused heavily on winning judicial seats, cutting taxes, and rolling back business regulations.

You notice the junk food media has moved on from the August deadline to file a special primary. The only news given to the junk food media and Gov. Andy Beshear is that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was released from the hospital and is in a transition home recovering.

The 84 year old curmudgeon who infamously denied then president Barack Obama his third Supreme Court justice but rammed through President Donald J. Trump's three justices had a major health incident in June. Throughout June and July, the junk food media from both sides have called for transparency.

McConnell's staff and his wife, former Trump Transportation secretary Elaine Chao keep pushing photos but no actual evidence of life.

TMZ released a commentary of concern. McConnell assisted by his aides and fellow Republicans forced him to make votes without acknowledging what he voted for. 

At one point McConnell — who has served in Congress for more than 40 years — is seen giving a thumbs up to indicate a positive vote, and walks away with an aide before a Senate clerk appeared to speak to them, the outlet reported.

In a election year, more Americans are getting tired of old people running the government.

McConnell then switched his vote, the video appeared to show.

Another time, a clerk seemed to signal to McConnell which way to vote, indicating he should vote nay, the footage appeared to show.

A rep for McConnell did not immediately respond to Mediaite’s request for comment.

McConnell was reportedly found unconscious in his Washington, DC home on June 14 and hasn’t been to work since.

His office repeatedly refused to give detailed answers to questions about his whereabouts or later, his health status, at times issuing the same verbatim statements before ultimately releasing two different photos of McConnell with his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

McConnell’s absence has sparked controversy with critics demanding transparency and Beshear calling out the Senator’s refusal to tell voters why he’s not at work.

Beshear told CBS News’ White House political correspondent Ed O’Keefe on Face the Nation Sunday that McConnell “absolutely refuses” to make a video showing he’s alive and well.

“His boss[es] are the people of Kentucky, and this is why the Senate, the Republican-controlled Senate, feels so broken,” Beshear said.

“They feel like they’re not accountable to anyone. All he needs to do is call into this show for two minutes, or Fox for two minutes, or do a video for two minutes to the people he’s supposed to serve. But you know what? He absolutely refuses to do it.”

I mean we are seeing his cognitve decline the moment he fell, froze and forgot what he spoke about. Yet, they were all on former president Joe Biden when he stuttered.

We are watching Trump cognitvely decline right before our eyes.

Now there's rumors that his staff is prepared to announce that he is resigning. That has enraged Democrats and some Republicans. For a lawmaker who spent over 40 years being a protectionist of white supremacy his last middle finger will be his resignation to prvent Beshear from appointing a replacement or the Kentucky state legislature intentionally blocking him from doing so by issuing a special election.

Boomers (1946 to 1975) are the generation of selfishness. They think the younger generation is lazier and not willing to put in the work. They stuck on their rigid views of America back in their days. They are not willing to accept change or adapt to new things.

Well, AI is taking over the work.

All the work has outsourced to technology. They are getting their paychecks and they are not matching the cost of living.

McConnell made millions off the lobbying, the extensive contacts and luxury gifts.

His absence only makes me wonder why the elite have it way better than the working class. 

Mike Braun Doesn't Care About Gary!

Bad work in Gary.

When folks hear about Gary, Indiana, they automatically think Chicago. Well it is a damn Republican state and of course, its governor is a white nationalist.

The city had some massive storms and it wiped out over 90% of the citu's energy grid.

Mike Braun is worthless. Donald J. Trump is worthless. JD Vance is worthless.

Chris Wright is worthless.

Jim Banks and Todd Young are worthless.

Frank Mrvan is worthless.

Indiana Republican governor Mike Braun has faced severe criticism from residents and local advocates over his administration's response to the catastrophic August 2024 derecho that left much of Gary, Indiana without power for over a week. Critics point to a slow state-level response as evidence of neglect toward the predominantly Black city, while the administration highlights mobilized state resources, National Guard deployments, and federal disaster requests as their active response to the crisis.

Tens of thousands of people in northwest Indiana remained without power Wednesday, more than a week after deadly storms leveled trees and knocked down power lines across the region.

Northern Indiana Public Service Co. said crews were working nonstop to fix the outages, but 75,000 customers still lacked electricity by late afternoon, mostly in Lake County next to the Illinois border.

They included more than 20,000 customers in Gary, where residents lined up again at community centers for hot meals and a place to charge phones.

The latest news for Gary wasn’t good: Full restoration is not expected there until Aug. 25, NIPSCO said.

Indiana voted for this idiot.

Roughly 300 poles and 44 power transmission poles need to be repaired or replaced in Gary as a result of the storm, which carried winds of 99 mph (159 kilometers per hour), said Melody Birmingham, an executive at NIPSCO’s parent company.

Birmingham acknowledged the “real burden” of losing perishable food and people living for days without air conditioning after a “historic storm” that initially left 300,000 customers in the dark.

“These aren’t simple repairs,” Birmingham said at a news conference. “These are systems that are being rebuilt.”

Utility says low-income residents are not ignored

Jeremy Spurrier, 51, said he’s fortunate to have a generator at his Portage home, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Chicago. But the generator is expensive — it goes through about $75 of gas a day — and Spurrier said his family is relying on nonperishable food like soup. He drives to Illinois to get ice to chill his insulin.

“If I run out of ice, that’s several hundred dollars of insulin just ruined,” he said.

Gary, a majority-Black city, has been especially hit hard, with some residents voicing frustration that they’re being ignored. Birmingham denied that low-income residents were being overlooked and blamed posts on social media.

“We have areas that are probably affluent where we still have customers out as well. ... This has nothing to do with race or any type of division,” said Birmingham, who is Black. “It’s really a matter of where the storm hit.”

Gary Mayor Eddie Melton acknowledged that locals were “frustrated and exhausted” but said more than 600 linemen were working to restore power in the city.

“I want to reiterate this is clearly not just a Gary situation. It is a northwest Indiana situation,” Melton said.

No storm damage — but no power

A 4-year-old boy, three men and three women were among those who had died since the storms began Aug. 11, said Liz Woods, a spokesperson for the state Department of Homeland Security.

In Whiting, Myra Carden, 74, said her home wasn’t damaged by the storm — “not even a chair was blown over in the yard.” But she was in her second blackout Wednesday.

Carden, her son and three dogs lost power for more than two days last week. Then the electricity went out again Tuesday.

“More than once I have put in an outage report,” she said. ”All I get back is, ‘You already put in a report.’ Well, what do you want me to do? ... This doesn’t make sense. Of course I’m not a lineman; I’m a paralegal.”

Carden uses a generator to keep the refrigerator humming but only when someone’s home to monitor it.

“We have a deep freeze in the garage packed full with beef and chicken. I’m sure everything will be thrown away,” she said.

Dr. Aisha Wahab Heads To Washington!

Aisha Wahab wins. She beats the pro Israel Dem.

Afghani-American doctor wins the seat to replace former lawmaker Eric Swalwell.

Rep-elect Aisha Wahab (D-CA), current California state senator will resign soon. She will represent the 14th Congressional District which covers the East Bay cities of Haywood, Livermore, Fremont and parts of Oakland. 

Swalwell, a Democrat who was running for California governor, ended his campaign and resigned from Congress in April after he was accused of sexual assault and harassment, which he denies. Wahab will represent the state’s 14th Congressional District, which covers parts of Alameda County on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay, through Swalwell’s term ending in January.

She will be the first Afghan American to serve in Congress. The progressive Democrat defeated Bay Area Rapid Transit Director Melissa Hernandez even after a swell of spending by outside groups opposing Wahab in the race’s final stretch. She said her victory shows her district “cannot be bought.”

“I will fight for this district that raised me,” Wahab said in a statement. “From foster care to Congress, this journey shows the possibility of the American Dream.”

The conclusion of the race to replace Swalwell comes as criminal investigations continue into the sexual assault allegations he faces. Over the weekend, federal agents seized electronic devices from Swalwell at the San Francisco airport and later searched his home in Washington, D.C., according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Swalwell’s attorney did not immediately respond to an email and phone message seeking comment.

Wahab became the first Afghan American elected to public office in the U.S. when she won a Hayward City Council seat in 2018.

She has championed housing affordability and access in her time in the Legislature and throughout her campaign. She also wrote a bill in 2023 to ban caste-based discrimination, which garnered national attention. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed it, saying such discrimination is already outlawed by civil rights protections.

Wahab and Hernandez will face off again in a separate November election determining who will serve the next full two-year term.

At a candidate forum in April, Wahab answered “yes” when asked if she considered “what is happening to the Palestinian people” to be a genocide.

Hernandez did not give a straight yes or no answer. She said Israel had a right to defend itself following the October 2023 attack by Hamas but that “the destruction into Gaza has gone too far.”

Hernandez, a moderate Democrat, said she was proud to put up a competitive fight after Wahab’s success in the primary.

“I’ve been a fighter my whole life, and when I promised the residents of CA-14 I would fight for them, I never gave up,” she said in a statement.

Pro Israel Democrats are not popular.

Walmart Warns That People Are Limiting Shopping!

On a Saturday afternoon, Walmart looks like a Tuesday afternoon.

I go to Walmart almost every weekend and it seems like ⅓ of my paycheck goes to groceries. The company introduced AI technology which is placed on their shelve tags.

Those tags eliminate the need to use paper but are considered troubling due to the perception thry will change prices according to shoppers demand.

Say of I wanted a frequent buys, Walmart tracks it and keeps a record of my shopping habits. The next time I shop there, I purchase something and notice it went up 5%. 

AI price tags—officially known as Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) or Digital Shelf Labels (DSLs)—have sparked major controversy because consumers fear they will be used for "surveillance pricing" and real-time surge pricing. While major retailers like Walmart and Kroger are rapidly rolling out these digital screens to cover their entire store fleets, the sudden ability to change prices across thousands of items in seconds has triggered widespread anxiety, union backlash, and a push for government bans.

Would I buy it or skip it?

I mean it's a risk on both sides.

When you purchase at least 20 items, you are expected to pay between $60 to $120.

Then when you get gas in a midsize vehicle, you are paying from $35 to $85 for a full tank.

When you get home, you see you bills for car insurance, home insurance, electric, phone and water bills. The costs eats your check. Even with working at 40 hours or more, you still are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

President Donald J. Trump and Republicans don't seem to care much about it. They are telling you that short term pain for long term gains. Who is gaining from this?

Billionaires and millionaires. 

Abdul El-Sayed went on Will Cain's clown show on Fox and got the host to admit he doesn't pump his own gas. I mean this should be something we should address when you hear these agitators complain about socialism while profiting off of capitalism.

They literally are calling themselves working class but they forgot the last thing to their class.... they are millionaires.

Okay, Walmart is posting their quarterly earnings. It shows a decline. Walmart reported its smallest sales gain in more than six years as some Americans continue to spend cautiously—especially when shopping at the retailer’s physical stores.

Six years ago, Trump was president overseeing a global pandemic. He was totally incompetent and it led to Joe Biden's victory. Had Trump took control of this, he would have won (barely). Yet, Trump being a curmudgeon with ADHD, just couldn't stay focused on the situationz.

On Thursday, Walmart said U.S. comparable sales, those from store and digital channels operating for the last 12 months, rose 2.6%. That is the smallest quarterly increase the retailer has reported since 2020. The number was hurt by new pharmacy-pricing regulations, without which Walmart would have had a 3.4% lift, the company said. That is below analyst’s estimates of a 3.8% gain, according to FactSet.

Walmart’s stock fell over 6% to $107 in premarket trading Thursday.

Walmart’s slower growth came as some consumers continue to watch their wallets amid higher gas prices and the company navigates a shift to sales growth driven by new channels, increasingly e-commerce, membership and advertising sales, not its core big-box base. It is a marked transition for the Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer that still earns the bulk of its sales and profits from sprawling supercenters.

Much of the growth came from a 24% increase in U.S. e-commerce sales, a figure that includes Walmart’s increasingly prominent advertising-revenue business. Walmart sells ads that run in its digital channels and stores.

“The relevance of store comps, I think, is not as pertinent as it was a decade ago,” said Walmart Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey. For example, items ordered online and picked up in store parking lots are counted as e-commerce sales, he said, so increasingly stores are a digital-fulfillment node that enable speedy delivery. “It’s a legacy fixation,” he said. “We are not the Walmart of a decade ago.”

Top executives are discussing if they should report those store-fulfilled sales differently to better reflect Walmart’s current business model, he said. E-commerce accounts for nearly a quarter of overall sales.

Sales of groceries, toys, fashion and private brands were strong in the most recent quarter and Walmart said it is gaining market share broadly, but especially among higher-income households, a term the retailer uses to describe households that earn $100,000 a year or above. Lower-income shoppers continue to spend cautiously, but they are spending, said Rainey. “It appears there were choices between necessities within the quarter because of where gas prices are,” he said.

Walmart also lowered some prices in the quarter, using some of the windfall of its $2.9 billion in tariff refunds. Prices during the quarter were still slightly higher than the same period last year due to overall cost increases, said Rainey, but the company put in place additional price cuts near the end of the period and is giving priority to price investments on items that have been particularly affected, such as beef. Walmart is “muting what was otherwise a higher price increase where consumers were feeling pressure,” he said.

The quarterly sales lift was enough for Walmart to raise its net sales and operating-income estimates for the full year. It now expects net sales to increase 4% to 5% for the full year, up from a previous estimate of 3.5% to 4.5%. Operating income will rise 7% to 8.5% for the full year, up from a 6% to 8% range set earlier this year, the company said.

Walmart’s latest results add to a string of mixed quarterly-sales reports from retailers in recent days. Earlier this week, Target said its quarterly comparable sales rose 3.8%, reversing last year’s declines. TJX, which owns chains such as T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, said that its comparable sales rose 4% in the most recent quarter, but that its flagship U.S. store sales grew just 1% after it made some apparel missteps. Home-improvement retailer Home Depot said its comparable sales rose 1.7%, while competitor Lowe’s reported sluggish 0.2% growth.

July government retail-sales data showed a softening overall, though some of that softness was likely caused by one-time events like the switch of Amazon.com and other retailer’s summer online-sales events to June.

Walmart’s net sales rose 5.9% to $186.1 billion in the most recent quarter ended July 31. Net income fell 9.4% to $6.37 billion as the decline of some equity investments ate into profits.

Walmart recently got into the news when Damon Darling, a comedian and social media influencer was permanently banned from their properties after he did his charity stunts.

The comedian who amasses over 3 million followers on TikTok has publicly acknowledged his past stunts caused his banishment and called his supporters to not back a boycott. Regardless, protesters are calling full day boycott to protest their AI pricing, the Damon Darling ban and the unfair labor practices.

Walmart remains the juggernaut in retail in the United States and Canada. With sales lagging, several factors would require them to close locations. They are slated to close 30 stores in the United States this year.

A Fix Is In Michael Cohen's Relationship With The Curmudgeon!

Brutus and Caesar.

President Donald J. Trump and his former fixer Michael Cohen are back on good terms.

Cohen who once threatened then rival Stormy Daniels made peace with her. It seems like he has turned on her again.

He was the point man to paying Daniels to stay silent about the affairs Trump had when he ran for president in 2016. That got him convicted in New York for fraud. First Lady Melania Trump was pregnant at the time when Trump slept with Daniels and Karen McDougal. 

Trump is the first U.S. president to be a convicted felon.

After years of dissing one another and the U.S. Justice Department putting his ass in federal time out multiple times, Cohen seems to be begging for the pardon.

Cohen was a main feature on MediasTouch Media. Sometime around mid-2024, Cohen was dismissed as a host on their shows.

I am guessing that Cohen begged then president Joe Biden for that pardon. 

Regardless, the reconciliation will also have the former lawyer interview the president on the conservative 77 WABC AM radio station. Cohen would now change his tune about the prosecution.

He accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James of forcing a confession in attempt to get Trump.

Cohen said on the radio, after years of conflict, the two are now on better terms.

“Out of nowhere, when I was sitting with my wife at a restaurant, my phone buzzed and it was a text from that friend who expressed to me the president’s genuine empathy for the hell that I was being dragged through … I deeply appreciated that text,” Cohen told John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby on WABC’s “Cats & Cosby” radio talk show.

“I actually texted the president. I thanked him. Expressed my sincere hope that this long, exhausting feud between the two of us could finally end,” Cohen added.

Mea Culpa and The Michael Cohen Show are still his official podcasts. From what I've seen, he seems like a mixture of anti-establishment and pro Zionist. Still critical of Trump's policies but also Republican and Democratic lawmakers who end up in the junk food media.

So for the Democratic lawmakers and media agitators obsessed with Hasan Piker, here's the one figure that should be receiving scrutiny for being a turncoat.

By the way, he was the former lawyer for Sean "Softball" Hannity. Of course, the softball claims he never paid Cohen for fixing relationships. It was simply about tax information.

That's what he claims.

Stephen A. Smith Humbly Doesn't Accept The Award! 👎🏿

Stephen A. Smith plays on the other team.

ESPN sports agitator and politicial agitator gets shunned by the National Association of Black Journalists. 

Stephen A. Smith joins Sage Steele, Jason Whitlock and Royce White in the back of the whip. Literally they are catching whips to the back. Protecting the man.

NABJ awards Smith its "Thumbs Down" Award for years of attacking Black journalism and Black women. The NABJ presented Smith with the award during their annual convention, stating he has a "recurring public pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports and media". They specifically referenced his past harsh critiques of several notable figures in Black America.

Kamala Davi Harris in particular was a frequent target of the agitator.

And who else did that doofus target in his political rants?

Jasmine Crockett, Michelle Obama, Joy Reid, Tiffany Cross, Serena Williams, Jemele Hill, Maxine Waters and other Black women. 

He also went off on the WNBA.

It earned him their award and he was pissed. He goes on his podcast to rant. Then goes on Fox to rant to the most annoying media personality on the fucking planet. 

Sean "Softball" Hannity. 

I will add Stephen A. Smith to the list of frequent agitators on the next Sean Hannity Word Vomit.

And then he goes to the sex pest. 

He rants to Chris Cuomo. The Cuomo brothers, former governor Andrew and media agitator Chris both are sexual deviants. Andrew tried twice for a politicial comeback for mayor of New York only to lose to Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman who barely polled but ended up winning.

He calls the award a "politicial hit job."

On social media and during a subsequent appearance on Fox's Softball Hannity, Smith labeled the award "utterly ridiculous" and a "flat-out lie". He defended his character by highlighting his personal life, noting he was raised by his mother and four older sisters, and has two daughters and 10 nieces.

Smith doubled down, labeling the prize the "lowest insult" he has ever received and accusing the organization of attacking him purely for political reasons. He also claimed NABJ President Errin Haines declined to debate him publicly on air.

Looks like he upset over their free speech. He should accept the award and head to Fox to say that he graciously accepts the award on behalf of the "free" Blacks. 

While on camera, he can polish that huge forehead.

Jeffries Will Get The Kevin McCarthy Treatment!

The Brooklyn Kid representing Israel.

Progressives aren't listening to distractions. They are aggressively demanding candidates who can do systematic change.

Democratic enthusiasm was 64%. Now it is 53% and falling.

If the Democrats have to lose elections to understand why they are failing the base, then so be it. I rather let President Donald J. Trump destroy everything. He will set an example for why its necessary to have diverse leaders. Old white men are not doing it right. 

We have to force everyone to see why it's important to stop embracing the status quo.

I am tired of watered down moderates. I am tired of hearing about costs when they spending relentlessly on wars, tax cuts and the elite.

We need strong leaders. Strong fighters.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) ain't it. Most of the candidates that were backed by the Democratic Socialists of America have declared they will not support him as the House Speaker.

Jeffries went on GOP Sundays to declare that the concerns were null and void. 

Jeffries explicitly stated that Medicare for All is “not legislation that I am currently co-sponsoring or that I support,” reversing his position from 2021. When pressed by host Kristen Welker, he refused to commit to bringing it to a floor vote if Democrats retake the House majority. 

He flatly declared, “I don’t support” the DSA's platform, explicitly distancing leadership from calls to defund the police, abolish ICE, or open U.S. borders.

When the Democratic Party forced Graham Platner out it drove frustrations. When Francesca Hong lost to David Crowley it drove frustrations. When folks like Shannon Watts and Fred Guttenberg were taking shots at Abdul El-Sayed after he won his primary, it drove frustrations. When Darializa Avila Chevalier was harassed by Zionist agitators it drove frustrations. When folks were obsessing over streamer Hasan Piker, it drove frustrations.

Gay lobbyist Michael LaRosa who appears frequently on Fox along with Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA) have constantly dissed El-Sayed. LaRosa along with former Democratic National Committeeofficial and Democratic strategist Jose Aristimuño openly stated that he wants El-Sayed to lose.

Aristimuño explicitly stated, "I hope he doesn't [win]... these DSA candidates do not represent my party."

Aristimuño argued that the majority of Democrats are center-left moderates and expressed deep concern that "growing extremism" from far-left candidates would backfire in the November general election. He emphasized that the country needs to remain the "United States of America" rather than shifting toward ideologies reminiscent of Cuba or Venezuela.

Tensions often surface regarding foreign policy, particularly concerning the Middle East. Some Arab-American and Muslim Democrats argue that mainstream party stances do not adequately represent their communities' perspectives, leading to feelings of exclusion or conditional belonging within the coalition.

Zionist Republicans And Democrats Win!

Florida is Israel in swampland.

The Jewish Sunshine of Floridisrael.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Jared Moskowitz win their primaries. The pro Israel Dems will drag gubernatorial nominee David Jolly and senatr nominee Angie Nixon down.

Wasserman Schultz who carpetbagged into the district of Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick won the seat despite the outcry from Black Florida Democrats demanding the pro Israel Congressional Black Caucus endorse a candidate. 

The democratic socialist and most vocal rival Elijah Manley came in a distant second.

Pro Israel Republicans also win. Randy Fine, a fat human excrement beats that white nationalist Dan Bilzerian. That human excrement was crying about antisemitism while clearly being Islamophobic, sexist, racist and just down right mean. He is the most prolific pro Israel Republican in Congress. He will drag Republicans down in other state races.

Pro Israel senator Ashley Moody easily beaten her opponents. She will face Nixon in the general.

MAGA aligned Cory Mills goes down to another MAGA opponent. A news reporter Ryan Elijah sunk Mills. 

Mills was accused of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Republicans including sexual predator President Donald J. Trump distanced themselves from him. Trump did endorse him.

Okay, Senate special primary. I have it Safe Republican.

The Governor Race as Lean Republican.

Donalds won the Republican nomination for Florida governor and former Rep. David Jolly picked up the Democratic nod in Tuesday’s primaries, setting the stage for a fall campaign to replace outgoing Gov. Ron DeSantis and decide the state’s future political direction.

November’s election will test President Donald Trump’s grip on his adopted state and Democrats’ ability to resurrect Florida as a national political battleground. Florida has moved notably to the right since Trump’s victory in 2016, though Democrats hope to regain ground from his slumping popularity ratings.

Cory Mills the latest lawmaker to lose his primary.

DeSantis, a leading conservative figure who has both clashed and collaborated with Trump over the years, is barred from running for a third consecutive term.

Also Tuesday, progressive state Rep. Angie Nixon won the Democratic nomination for a U.S. Senate special election, defeating retired Army Lt. Col Alexander Vindman, a onetime National Security Council official who testified in Trump’s first impeachment in 2019.

Nixon, who was heavily outspent by Vindman, will face Sen. Ashley Moody, winner of the Republican nomination, in November to fill the last two years of Marco Rubio’s Senate term. Rubio left the seat to become Trump’s secretary of state last year.

Donalds could be a historic figure in Florida

Donalds would be Florida’s first Black governor if he wins in November. He defeated a former DeSantis running mate, Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, political newcomer James Fishback and others Tuesday.

The 47-year-old congressman Donalds told his supporters at a Universal Studios resort hotel that he’d heard from Republican rivals who pledged their help in winning the general election.

“The primary is over,” Donalds said. “Tonight we put aside our differences. Tonight we are one united Republican Party.”

Donalds described Trump’s backing as important but not determinative.

“Obviously, he has the strongest following of anybody in our party,” he said. However, he added, “you can’t just sit back and think the president’s endorsement is going to carry you.”

Donalds has promised to push tax cuts, overhaul Florida’s insurance regulations to lower consumer costs and seek greater price transparency from healthcare providers.

The Democrats’ candidate for governor, Jolly, is a former Republican congressman who switched parties last year. He did not shy away from his partisan history as he addressed supporters Tuesday night.

“To my Democratic friends, thank you for welcoming me into the party,” he said.

Jolly’s speech detailed a platform that balances between both political parties: an embrace of capitalism and a lean government, but one that “needs to do its part to fill the gaps,” such as with education and housing.

“As an old-school Republican, I talk about ending the culture wars not to celebrate some progressive platform,” he said, “but because I still believe in the old school Republican, Libertarian policy that government should simply stay out of your life, and stay out of your bedroom.”

It’s the second time in a row that Democrats have nominated a onetime Republican for governor.

Four years ago, they backed former Gov. Charlie Crist, only to see him lose by nearly 20 percentage points to DeSantis.

Rich Chamberlin, a retiree in Port St. Lucie, said he supported Jolly in Tuesday’s primary, spurred on by attack ads against him.

“I saw anti-Jolly ads. I said ‘Ok, if they are against him, then I must be for him,’” Chamberlin said, adding it didn’t matter to him that Jolly was once a Republican.

A progressive gets Democratic nomination for Senate

Florida voters haven’t sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 2012, and this year’s race was always going to be an uphill climb.

Moody, a former state attorney general, was appointed by DeSantis to fill Rubio’s seat last year after he became Trump’s secretary of state. She’s now running to finish the last two years of his term.

Moody will face Nixon, a progressive state lawmaker who scored an upset victory over the Army veteran Vindman. Nixon would be Florida’s first Black U.S. senator if elected in November.

“Rep. Nixon ran a strong campaign,” Vindman posted on social media. “I will be standing by her side in the fight against Ashley Moody. I hope you’ll join me.

Wasserman Schultz wins in a new plurality Black district

In U.S. House primaries, Tuesday’s biggest contest saw longtime Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, defeat former U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and others in a redrawn south Florida district.

Wasserman Schultz, who is white, urged voters in the new, plurality Black district to help her return to Washington for a 12th term. Cherfilus-McCormick had sought a comeback after resigning earlier this year under a pending federal indictment and threat of House ethics sanctions.

A news reporter aligned to MAGA defeats Mills.

Wasserman Schultz entered a new district after DeSantis’ successful push for new congressional maps intended to boost Trump’s midterm election prospects.

Her four Black primary opponents — including Cherfilus-McCormick — had argued that the district should have a Black representative. But the voters went with a candidate who touted long experience from serving in Congress since 2005.

Surrounded by her campaign staff Tuesday night, Wasserman Schultz tearfully thanked voters for having confidence in her. She said she wanted to “make all of you proud, to make sure that the people we spoke to all across this district know that I will fight so they can pay their rent.”

Republican Rep. Cory Mills is ousted by a challenger

Former television news reporter Ryan Elijah won the Republican nomination for Florida’s 7th Congressional District, ousting the scandal-plagued Mills.

A two-term congressman, Mills has denied allegations of domestic violence against a former girlfriend and other controversies.

But Florida Republicans including DeSantis had abandoned Mills ahead of the primary and the congressman was not included on Trump’s final list of Florida endorsements. Elijah advances to the general election in a central Florida district that is considered reliably Republican.

Angie Nixon To Face Ashley Moody!

Can Angie do it?

Shocking win and a warning. Do not underestimate the power of progressives. 

If the turnout is depressed, you can thank all the Democratic lawmakers and agitators aligned to them for being supportive of Israel.

Democratic state senator Angie Nixon, you got my full support.

She trounced the establishment favorite, Alexander Vindman. He was the former White House advisor who blew the whistle on President Donald J. Trump trying to force Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to launch an investigation into then candidate Joe Biden in exchange for foreign aid. It lead to his first impeachment.

Vindman has a twin brother who is a U.S. Representative. His twin, Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA) represents the northeastern quadrant of Virginia which covers the suburbs of Washington DC. 

Nixon is famous for her stare down of that doofus, Ron DeSantis, the outgoing governor of Florida during a mass shooting.

Nixon who is under criminal charges for trespassing inside the governor’s office pulled an amazing comeback.

Nixon would be Florida’s first Black U.S. senator if elected in November. She is running to fill the last two years of a term Republican Marco Rubio won in 2022 before becoming Trump’s secretary of state in January 2025.

It’s the latest victory for progressive candidates who have found success in primary contests against establishment-backed Democrats this year.

Israel found their two favorite candidates. Ashley Moody and Byron Donalds go in with a strong advantage despite Trump being a shitty president.

I have this race as Safe Republican. 

How can we change that?

Nixon has an uphill battle. The last senator was Bill Nelson and he was defeated by then governor now senator Rick Scott. Florida has trended Republican and went to Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024. 

Like Ohio, it is almost hard for any Democratic candidate to drive through a road of idiots.

Make the issues about how Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) not improving the lives of Floridians. She is too concerned about Israel instead of Florida. She is the ultimate DEI candidate.

She had no experience as a lawmaker.  She was picked by DeSantis because Moody shares core goals with DeSantis and Trump, including strong stances on border security, law enforcement, and reining in federal spending.

She won two statewide elections as Florida’s Attorney General and has a deep background as a federal prosecutor and judge. But nothing of value from her.

Moody was a close ally who previously supported DeSantis during his political and legal battles. She is down on Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Frat White!

Who raised these thugs?

Did the capos give Sens. John Fetterman (I-PA) and Dave McCormick (R-PA) some of that Snow White?

Two drug lords were nabbed at Penn State University. They were the leaders of a college campus cartel.

Pennsylvania authorities announced criminal charges against 14 individuals involved in a major cocaine trafficking ring operating out of two Penn State University fraternities, Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi. Investigators revealed that cutting and packaging the "white powder" (cocaine) was used as an "indoctrination" ritual for fraternity pledges.

Main Felony Defendants

• Agostino Abbatiello: Alleged top dealer from Sigma Chi fraternity.
• Thomas Robinson: Alleged top dealer from Delta Upsilon fraternity.
• Mohammed Hurabi: Charged with felony corrupt organizations and conspiracy.
• Lars Zeepvat: Charged with felony corrupt organizations and conspiracy.
• Robert Zanolla: Charged with felony conspiracy and criminal communication use.

Felony Tampering Defendant

• Paul Robinson: Father of Thomas Robinson, charged with hindering apprehension.

Misdemeanor Defendants

The following student-aged individuals face possession and paraphernalia charges:

• Liam Smith
• Michael Brogno
• Kaden Howe
• Connor Hurleigh
• Seth Beardsley
• Kyle Ridpath
• Daniel Price
• Charles Wiseman

I guess Immigration Customs Enforcement is not arresting the actual criminals. They are arresting innocent people. All of them are American citizens.

We are heading to State College.

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

Hey, did Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump, Barron Trump, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Jacqui Heinrich, Jesse Watters and Sean "Softball" Hannity get a line in?

More than a dozen people were criminally charged Monday over their alleged ties to a cocaine-trafficking ring in Pennsylvania that involved two fraternities and students.

Wondering how the far right gonna describe this thug?

A total of 14 defendants — 13 of which were Penn State University students at or around the time of the alleged crimes in 2023 and 2024 — were charged Monday, according to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office.

Four defendants face charges of felony corrupt organizations, conspiracy and other offenses, while a fifth is charged with felony conspiracy and other crimes. Eight other student-aged defendants are charged with misdemeanor counts, like possession. One defendant, who is the father of a student, is accused of tampering with evidence and hindering the investigation.

At least four of the defendants are current students, according to the attorney general’s office.

Two defendants, who were the main suppliers, made routine trips to Philadelphia and New York to get large amounts of cocaine, according to the office. The cocaine was then packaged mainly at the Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon fraternity houses and distributed primarily to Penn State University students.

“This is very serious criminal conduct. There was nothing junior or childlike about this type of conduct,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said Monday at a news conference. “This was an upper level trafficking organization for this region in Pennsylvania.”

When the junk food media and far right bring up crime statistics, look up Penn State cocaine narcos.

Sunday said fraternity brothers packaged the cocaine and that authorities found a pattern of some pledges being indoctrinated into both fraternities through cutting and bagging cocaine. Investigators did not hear about drugs being packaged on the Penn State University campus, Sunday noted.

Delta Upsilon Executive Director Justin Kirk said in a statement that the international fraternity was aware of the allegations and that those involved who had ties to Delta Upsilon were expelled or suspended if they did not resign.

“We will continue to work closely with the university on any investigative efforts,” Kirk added.

The Sigma Chi headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The majority of defendants facing felony charges were arraigned Monday morning, Sunday said at the news conference.

America Is Not Great Right Now!

Sometimes you just want to stay in bed.

They keep showing us who they are!

No firearms were used in this incident in New York involving a man having a physical altercation at a synagogue. Yet it is treated like a mass shooting. The online agitators are quickly blaming Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, Hasan Piker and Ilhan Omar.

Larry Montes entered Central Synagogue during a Shabbat service, disrupted the gathering, and attacked a 63-year-old congregant and a security guard. He was arrested at the scene and charged with multiple offenses, including assault as a hate crime. Court and law enforcement disclosures later revealed that Montes had local criminal history, held highly erratic personal views, and had explicitly referenced anti-Jewish rhetoric during his arrest.

Quick to name the suspect. Quick to claim a motive. Quick to blame.

Mamdani faced immense scrutiny. Critics and political opponents blamed his previous sharp public criticism of the Israeli government for creating a hostile climate. Mamdani explicitly condemned the assault as "horrifying" and reaffirmed that his administration would aggressively prosecute antisemitic hate crimes.

While public attention centered heavily on the political fallout in New York, civil rights organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have documented a sharp, concurrent resurgence in anti-Muslim hate speech, mosque vandalism, and physical attacks across 2026.

Advocacy groups note that the visibility and historic electoral breakthroughs of Muslim politicians in 2026 have triggered a targeted Islamophobic backlash. 

This has manifested in both localized street violence—such as a July box-cutter assault targeting Muslim women on a Queens bus—and explicit national rhetoric from federal lawmakers labeling Muslim public officials as threats to national security.

We have Black people getting hung from trees and they calling it suicide.

• Kyle Bassinga (Age 21): Found dead hanging from a tree in Marietta, Georgia, on February 18, 2026. Cobb County police ruled the death a suicide citing no evidence of foul play.
• Juliana Umba Nzita (Age 16): Found dead hanging from a tree near a church in Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 8, 2026. The local medical examiner ruled the death a suicide within days.
• To'nea Nicole Miller (Age 27): Found dead hanging from a tree at Gwen Cherry Park in Miami, Florida, on June 18, 2026. Local authorities indicated the death appeared to be a suicide, though family members have publicly questioned the conclusion.
• Justice Kai James (Age 21): Found hanging outside a cafeteria in Albany, Georgia, on June 21, 2026. Investigators officially closed the case and ruled it a suicide on July 20, 2026.
• Jerard 'Jay' Jackson (Age 28): Found hanging near a tree in Rothbury, Michigan, on June 30, 2026. Investigators ruled his death a suicide.
• Tasia Fortune (Age 29): Found dead hanging from a tree behind a vacant home in Jackson, Mississippi, on August 3, 2026. Her death remains an active and ongoing investigation by local police and the coroner's office.

We have 365 mass shootings and we are not even close to Dec. 31. We are eight months into the year and it's endless gun violence in our country.

We are over $40 trillion in federal debt.

Thanks to the U.S. war in Iran and the tax cuts from the One Big Beautiful Act, we have seen a surge in spending that is well on pace to cross $50 trillion in less than three years.

The cost of living is intolerable and it's getting worse. Yet, we are on this name calling, guilt by association and ad hominem attacks on those who have nothing to do with the actions of some. While the agitators are claiming socialism and communism are the cause of the economic issues, we are witnessing capitalism at its worst. It is leading us into recession and likely civil war.

Groceries have now taken ¼ of a worker's paycheck. Rent or mortgage taken ⅓ of a person's personal savings. 

We have the average gas prices at $4.13⁹ a gallon. Diesel prices at an average of $5.74⁹ a gallon.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has allegedly exhausted it resources. Many of the sailors and crew are threatening to commit suicide because the conditions are extremely poor. They are rationing food, having limited showers and power.

SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357)

SAMHSA’s National Helpline is a free, confidential, 24/7, 365-day-a-year treatment referral and information service (in English and Spanish) for individuals and families facing mental and/or substance use disorders.

In February 2026, while the Lincoln was traveling in the Arabian Sea approximately 500 miles (800 km) from Iran's southern coast, an Iranian Shahed 139 drone flew toward the ship; a U.S. F-35 shot it down.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps said the USS Abraham Lincoln was struck by four ballistic missiles. The Pentagon rejected these claims saying the ballistic missiles "weren't even close" to hitting their intended target.

The Iranian military again stated that it had struck the USS Abraham Lincoln with a series of drone strikes. Iran would make a third claim by firing Qader cruise missiles. The ship was not harmed in all three cases. 

Shahram Irani, commander of the Iranian navy, threatened the Lincoln if it entered missile range.

By early August, the Lincoln had been to sea for over 260 days, including over 40 days of continuous combat operations, stopping in port only twice; once in Guam in December and in Oman in July. 

Navy leadership, including Acting Secretary Hung Cao, attended a town hall at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego with about 200 Lincoln family members who shared worries about mental health and exhaustion, and the risk of self-harm on the ship. Navy officials said they were working to send more mental health professionals to the Lincoln.

Iranian media reported that seven navy personnel died during a brawl on the ship, which U.S. Central Command denied. Several media outlets, including Stars and Stripes, reported that sailors made multiple attempts to jump overboard the carrier due to poor conditions and mental stress. 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said these reports "completely misrepresented" conditions aboard the ship, but did not directly respond to reports of deteriorating mental health and supply shortages. 

When asked, President Donald J. Trump said he thought the Lincoln's deployment was "not nearly long enough". 

The U.S. Navy denied there had been an increase of suicide attempts aboard the ship, and confirmed one sailor went overboard in early August and was safely recovered.

On August 13, it was reported that the aircraft carrier USS George Washington had left port the previous week from Da Nang, Vietnam, to replace the Lincoln.

Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, a Zionist Democrat and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, outlined a series of reported deficiencies aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The aircraft carrier, which has a complement of approximately 5,000 personnel, has been the subject of complaints including shortages of basic supplies, contaminated water, plumbing failures, declining mental health conditions, deck safety concerns, and a disrupted mail system that has resulted in many care packages being lost in transit for months.

Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego, also a Zionist Democrat, wrote on his X account that the military had been requested to allow a congressional delegation to board the vessel and "conduct oversight investigations into this terrible situation." He added that there was "no reason for denial of access."

Representative Mike Levin, a Zionist Democrat from California, described conditions aboard the carrier as including moldy showers, broken toilets, weeks of unwashed laundry, extended periods without hot water, meals consisting of half a cup of rice and two tortillas, and a lack of soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.

Zionism is evil. It is not representative of Judaism. It is a white supremacist ideology that advocates for an ethnostate. The apartheid genocidial ethnostate of Israel has violated decades of international law, taken so much from American taxpayers, influenced hundreds of lawmakers past and present. It is time for our country to break away from Israel and focus on the needs of America.

The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump will be the last person supportive of Israel as head of state. He will also represent the final straw when it comes to white men as the president. We must have diversity in our government. 

I cannot in good conscience support another old white man as our president. I will support white men who align with progressive politics. No conservatives, centrists or moderates. No more Christian aligned presidents. 

They are not following the teachings of Christianity. 

I am open to women, people of color, other religions or no religion at all becoming president.

I am open to even support gay or transgender Americans as president. 

At this point, anything but a conservative white man over 65 years old as our president.

No to baby boomer or Gen X presidents. 

Hayden Panettiere Passed Away!

Hayden Panettiere dies days before her birthday.

Yearly wrap up.

"It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her -- and to the millions who watched her onscreen," her father, Skip Panettiere, said in a statement.

Her father asked for privacy "as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss."

Further details surrounding Panettiere's death were not immediately available.

Beginning as a child star, with a long career in both TV and film, Panettiere is remembered for her roles as Claire Bennet on the hit series "Heroes" and as Juliette Barnes on the musical drama "Nashville."

She also starred in "Remember the Titans," "Raising Helen," "Ice Princess" and "Scream 4."

Panettiere has been candid about her struggles from child stardom through adulthood. She released a memoir this May titled "This Is Me: A Reckoning."

In the memoir, she shares "a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors, opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss," according to a synopsis for her book.

She is the mother to one child, her daughter Kaya Klitschko, whom she had in 2014 with her ex-fiancé, heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

In an interview with "Good Morning America" in 2022, Panetierre opened up about grappling with alcoholism and postpartum depression.

"I didn't know where the alcoholism was ending and the postpartum was beginning," Panetierre said. "And I ran myself pretty ragged."

She said the years that followed her role on "Nashville" had "been difficult." She said, "The years before were very difficult for me, too. And I just needed a break."

Panetierre went on to reprise her role as Kirby Reed in the "Scream" franchise, which was released in March 2023.

Her brother, Jansen Panettiere, died suddenly in February 2023 from cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) coupled with aortic valve complications, his family said in a statement at the time. He was 28.

Hayden Panettiere spoke openly about her grief, saying in an interview with People two years after his death, "I will always be heartbroken about it."

"I will never be able to get over it," she told the outlet. "No matter how many years go by, I will never get over his loss."

Panettiere's death comes less than a week before she would have turned 37 years old on Friday.
