Return to Congress. Tom Kean, Jr. tales of depression.
Empathy over antipathy.
That mean girl, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) knows depression. She suffers from it.
She has her divorce, her eldest son always causing trouble, she was embarrassed by a then boyfriend groping her during the play of Beetlejuice, her near defeat in her previous district and President Donald J. Trump vowing to oust her come next election.
Boebert will be one of the sole noisemakers in the Congress. Marjorie Taylor Greene left Congress after the president turned on her. Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) gambled the chances on higher office only to be rejected.
They will leave Congress along with a handful of Democratic and Republican establishment members.
Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) lost after Trump endorsed their primary challengers. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) lost because Texans wanted a serious person.
Reps. Diana DeGette (D-CO), Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) and Dan Goldman (D-NY) were ousted by Democrats tired of the status quo and AIPAC spending.
So for over four months, Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. went missing. Despite winning his primary and being backed by that curmudgeon, President Donald J. Trump, constituents were not seeing him.
Now he has returned citing clinical depression.
😳 Rep. Lauren Boebert torches Rep. Tom Kean for his 4-month absence due to depression.
The way she addressed it was not good but I get where she is coming from.
This may be a first. Boebert is taking this job seriously for once. She is expected to win her seat come November. She is not trying to embarrass herself this time. During the Joe Biden presidency, Boebert is still a total bitch. It almost cost her her reelection bid.
Boebert called Kean's explanation on Tuesday for his prolonged absence from Congress “embarrassing” in an interview with TMZ Washington's Jacob Wasserman outside the U.S. Capitol.
Boebert doesn't buy Kean's excuses.
Boebert showed little sympathy for Kean after he revealed earlier in the day that he missed some four months of work due to depression. The Colorado Republican slammed Kean for not representing his voters, going so far as calling his absence “taxation without representation.” She also would not offer Kean her full support for reelection, despite adding that she wants to see the GOP keep the House — and he represents a crucial swing district.
“So a few weeks ago, we chatted and you were like, ‘Where is Tom Kean? What’s up with Tom Kean?’ Well, today he says he’s been gone for over 150 days because of severe depression,” Wasserman began.
Boebert replied, “I don’t even think he used the word ‘severe’ — he just said he was diagnosed with depression. I, for one, have been marked safe from depression today.”
Wasserman pressed, “What do you mean by that? What does that mean?”
Boebert replied, “‘I’m here.’ You haven’t seen those memes. Come on now, you’re younger than me. Okay, I guess it’s a Facebook thing, huh? It’s more Facebook. Okay.”
Wasserman pressed more, “Okay, so what’s your take on it?”
Boebert replied, “I think it’s embarrassing, still, even more so. I mean, sure, like, take care of yourself, get healthy, but who gets to take four months off of work because they’re sad? Like, that’s not a—”
Wasserman pushed back, “Well he might not be sad. I mean, it’s, it’s—”
Boebert jumped in, “Depressed. He’s depressed. He’s sad. And I, okay, whatever the reasons, maybe it’s embarrassing. I don’t care what party you’re part of, it’s not okay. I mean, I think there’s a dose of depression that comes with these pins that we’re given, and so I mean, if you can’t build up a tolerance to it, then maybe don’t be here.”
NPR retracts its report that Samuel Alto is retiring.
“Editor's note: Earlier today, we erroneously published a story saying that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was retiring,” NPR put out in a statement on it's website. “Neither Alito nor the court's public information office has announced his retirement, and we have retracted the story.”
There was speculation that the white nationalist on the Supreme Court was going to retire shortly after this inept Roberts Court concludes its session.
The news is definitely on the record.
President Donald J. Trump pressured Anthony Kennedy to retire in 2019 to get Brett Kavanaugh in. When Ruth Bader Ginsberg died in 2020, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) quickly pushed for Amy Coney Barrett to get confirmed despite pledging to not confirm nominees in a presidential election.
Republicans are secretly plotting for a boast to their fragile majority.
Trump has a job approval of 31% and Vice President JD Vance has a job approval of 33%.
Republicans have a job approval of 24% and the Democrats have a job approval of 25%.
Congress overall has a job approval of 21%.
The Supreme Court has a job approval of 25%.
Basically, we are in civil war numbers. All forms of governance is negative. None of these entities are improving the lives of the working class.
Alito is 76 and Clarence Thomas is 77.
Thomas, the second Black man to sit on the Supreme Court is the longest serving justice.
He was appointed by the late George H.W. Bush.
Trump could get up to get two or three Surpreme Court nominees this second term.
They warned her and she didn't listen. Well Melat Kiros came in and swept Diana DeGette out.
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), the 15 term congresswoman representing the city and county of Denver, Colorado was defeated by activist Melat Kiros.
Kiros was declared the winner just few minutes ago.
The daughter of Ethiopian parents, Kiros pushed an aggressive campaign to label DeGette as a "all words and no substance" type of politician. She said her support for Israel and taking corporate money puts her out of touch with Denver residents.
I've said it time after time. Words don't pay the bills. Words do not feed the families.
We warned you that this is not a joke.
Okay, do you believe the Democratic Party is about to ride the Blue Wave?
Do you believe that Democrats are motivated after seeing the results of President Donald J. Trump's return to power?
Will these No Kings protests be a turning point in American politics?
Are you going to vote "Blue No Matter Who?"
I give the Democrats a 45% chance winning the House and a 43% of winning the Senate.
My honest opinion about the Democratic Party.
They are garbage. Trash. A total colossal cluster fuck.
And they can thank former president Joe Biden, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democratic National Committee. A party trying to stay popular when their policies are never delivered. A party that continues to gaslight us about the opposition being in the pockets of the elite while doing the same. The party that calls out the opposition for being racial extremists but end up being racial extremists too.
You upset about tattoos, podcasters, rhetoric questioning the narratives of America's tragedies, screaming in their faces about issues, interrupting them while doing speeches and being vulgar. Get it over it. It is free speech and it has no effect on the daily lives of the working class.
People are flawed. It human nature. No one lives in bubble but this "tiff for tat" is bullshit.
It is why the progressives are fighting back.
The democratic socialists are claiming another victory. This was a defeat that stings for Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Katherine Clark (D-MA), Pete Aguilar (D-CA) and Ted Lieu (D-CA).
When DeGette debated she kept not answering the questions.
They are no longer able to stop the momentum. And it will come to Florida with the potential defeats of Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL).
Unfortunately, Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) fended off a tougher opponent like Julie Gonzales.
It comes a strong warning that support for Israel is a noose around the neck.
Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist and first-time candidate, ousted Diana DeGette of Colorado in a primary challenge on Tuesday.
DeGette, a 15-term incumbent first elected in 1996, is the second member of Congress to lose her seat to a younger democratic socialist challenger after Darializa Avila Chevalier unseated Rep. Adriano Espaillait, the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in New York's 13th District last week.
Chevalier's and Kiros' challenges came amid widespread discontent and frustration among Democratic voters with party leadership in the wake of Trump's election. Both Espaillat and DeGette are longtime progressives whom their opponents cast as representatives of a failing Democratic establishment beholden to corporate interests. Chevalier and Kiros both also have a history of pro-Palestine activism and made opposing Israel's war in Gaza central to their campaigns.
Kiros is all but assured to win the general election in the deep blue district, which encompasses most of the city and county of Denver.
She, Chevalier and Assembly Member Claire Valdez, who won the Democratic primary for another New York City-based seat, are set to expand the ranks of democratic socialists in Congress. All three were endorsed by Democratic Socialists of America and Justice Democrats.
Kiros, who immigrated to the United States from Ethiopia with her family as a baby, was an associate at a large law firm in New York City before she was fired in 2023 for writing a letter criticizing law firms' response to Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
She became a PhD student and barista after moving back to Denver and launched her campaign against DeGette last year on a message of generational change and getting corporate influence out of politics.
In an interview Friday, Kiros said Denver "doesn't get enough credit" for being as progressive as it is.
"This is a state that really appreciates leaders that talk about the corruption in government, that talk about how rigged our economy is, and talk about the kind of programs that would meaningfully bring relief for working families," she said.
Kiros and DeGette were largely aligned on policy, including opposing the Trump administration's immigration agenda and supporting Medicare for All.
DeGette, 68, is the top Democrat on an influential subcommittee overseeing healthcare and pledged to hold hearings on Medicare for All if Democrats retake the House in November.
Democrats might want to join Hasan Piker's Twitch streams. It worked for Melat Kiros.
But Kiros singled out DeGette's acceptance of campaign funds from corporate PACs, including from the healthcare industry, arguing they contradicted DeGette's progressive stances. DeGette said the contributions did not influence her votes in Congress and argued that she, not Kiros, had the experience necessary to meet the moment.
In a brief interview at the Capitol on Thursday, DeGette expressed confidence in her chances of winning renomination and said, "Denver, Colorado is not New York City."
Still, outside groups poured a last-minute influx of money into the race aiming to boost DeGette and oppose Kiros. Much of the pro-DeGette spending came from Pro-Choice Majority Action, a PAC linked to Elect Democratic Women, which spent over $1.5 million in the final two weeks of the campaign.
Those organizations are tied to AIPAC.
"I think what we're seeing right now in New York, and also other places around the country, is that when a party is actually responsive to the needs of voters, they will come out and support, they will volunteer, they will be a part of a movement if that movement is fighting for them," Kiros said. "That's what we saw in New York, and that's what we're going to see here in Denver too."
The primary race in the 1st District was one of several that tested the power of the insurgent left in Colorado. Also on Tuesday, Attorney General Phil Weiser defeated Sen. Michael Bennet in an unexpectedly competitive Democratic primary for governor and Sen. John Hickenlooper faced a primary challenge from the left from state Sen. Julie Gonzales.
Democratic state Rep. Manny Rutinel defeated former state Rep. Shannon Bird in the primary for the battleground 8th Congressional District, held by GOP Rep. Gabe Evans, set to be one of the most competitive in the country in November.
Curmudgeon Trump will pick a replacement for Samuel Alito.
Big bombshell.
As the Roberts Court concludes its session of fucked up decisions, Justice Samuel Alito retires. President Donald J. Trump gets a fourth Supreme Court Justice pick. This will certainly rile the Democrats.
Alito appointed during George W. Bush's second term served as the most conservative since the late Antonin Scalia and longest serving Clarence Thomas joined the court.
It is likely the Senate will call to session in September or October for the nominee.
They want to bring the base out to vote to protect the status quo.
The Republicans have a 53 seat majority and Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA) is likely going to back the nominee.
The senate must have a simple majority to confirm a nominee. They can lose Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) but end up getting Fetterman and Vice President JD Vance push it through.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Sen. John Thune (R-SD), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Chief Justice John Roberts were notified.
Alito was nominated to the court in 2005 by President George W. Bush to fill the seat vacated by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
In the history of the Supreme Court, the names of just a few justices are linked with a single very famous, or infamous, decision. Chief Justice John Marshall for his groundbreaking decision in1803, declaring that courts have the power to strike down laws that violate the Constitution. Chief Justice Roger Taney for his infamous decision in the Dred Scott case declaring that no African American, enslaved or free, could be a citizen of the United states, a decision that led in part to the Civil War; Chief Justice Earl Warren for his 1954 decision declaring racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional. And in our own times, Alito's name is indelibly linked with the court's opinion overturning a half century's worth of decisions declaring that women have a right to abortion.
A consequential conservative
Alito, unlike Marshall, Taney and Warren, was not chief justice, and he may even now be little known to the public generally. But throughout his tenure, he played a key role on the court, often leading the conservative charge, not just on abortion, but for expanded religious rights, against LGBTQ+ rights, against expanded voting rights, for the death penalty, against labor unions, and more.
His arrival at the court in 2006 to replace the more centrist Justice O'Connor, marked a decided shift to the right on the court. On contraception, for instance, he wrote the court's 5-to-4 decision declaring that closely held, for-profit corporations could refuse, on religious grounds, to comply with a federal law that requires employer insurance policies to cover contraception for their employees.
"This court has said time and again that we have no business judging whether any sincere religious belief is valid or reasonable and it would be dangerous if we started down that road," he said in his opinion.
On gun control, he wrote the court's 2010 decision striking down state bans on handguns in the home.
In death penalty cases, Alito was impatient with attempts to limit capital punishment. In voting rights cases, he repeatedly sided with state laws that make it more difficult for people to vote.
As he wrote in a 2021 opinion, "Mere inconvenience cannot be enough to demonstrate a violation" of the voting rights act.
Views on the culture wars
Few issues appeared to rankle Alito as much as those that directly or indirectly involved religion, and perhaps not incidentally, the modern culture wars.
As he put it in a 2022 speech in Rome: "There's also growing hostility to religion or at least the traditional religious beliefs that are contrary to the new moral code."
Yale law professor Akhil Amar says that for the conservatives on the court, Alito time and again was a workhorse, not a show horse.
"He's not flashy or flamboyant. But by not overreaching he's able to succeed," Amar said.
Alito's opinion for the 5-to-4 court majority in the abortion case was, in essence, his magnum opus on abortion and constitutional interpretation. He likely had been writing it in his head for years. There was no announcement of the opinion from the bench because the court stopped those public statements during the pandemic. But as Alito explained in his written opinion, the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe decision and the decades of decisions that followed had to be overruled because Roe was "egregiously wrong," the arguments for it "exceptionally weak," and because there was "no history or tradition of abortion at the time of the founding or thereafter."
Adam Congioli, an early Alito law clerk who became a close Alito friend, describes the justice as a man very comfortable with the law as a system of rules, rules that Alito believed were broken to create a right to abortion.
So, according to Congioli, as the justice saw things, "we should never have been in this business in the first place. This is not our job under the rules so I'm going to get us out of this business and I'm going to send it back to the legislatures for people to fight about."
"The right to keep and bear arms is implicit in our understanding of ordered liberty and deeply rooted in the traditions of our country," he wrote in his decision.
Others see Alito's abortion opinion differently.
Sarah Isgur, who served in the Trump Justice Department and is now the host of a podcast for the Dispatch, a conservative news outlet, said she saw Alito's abortion opinion as failing the critical test of persuasion.
The question, she said, should not have been whether Roe was correctly decided. "The question is: 'Do you overturn a precedent that has been on the books for 50 years. The most famous case probably to most Americans in the country?' And it's not even close."
Michael Dorf, a constitutional law professor at Cornell University, is more pointed, calling the Alito opinion "dishonest" because it so selectively cited history to make a one-sided case.
"One wonders how so many prior justices, a majority of whom were appointed by Republican presidents, could have found a right to abortion in the Constitution and then reaffirmed that right. There's a kind of arrogance to the opinion in the way it proceeds in a one-sided manner."
A legacy-defining opinion
Alito's friend Ciongoli acknowledges that the justice will be both praised and reviled for his abortion decision. That single opinion will be his legacy.
"Sam will undoubtedly be remembered for Dobbs. Period," he said. "I don't think he thought that out."
Indeed, in the immediate aftermath of the decision, Alito, who had long fought to reverse Roe, seemed more and more angry, even concluding at one point that the unprecedented leak of the draft opinion made the justices who voted to overturn Roe "targets for assassination," Ciolgoil said. "There were people who were going to try to kill them to try to change the outcome of the case."
"That sentence was aimed at his colleagues [on the court] who refused to issue a dissent in order to get the opinion out," he said.
In other words, Alito, and perhaps others in the majority, thought that after the leak of the abortion opinion, it was important to get the decision released quickly, thus preventing any deranged person from thinking he could change the outcome by killing one of the justices in the majority. But as Alito saw things, the three dissenters refused to be rushed, so that it was almost two months later that the decision was released to the public, a delay that clearly infuriated him.
Amar, the Yale professor, however, sees all this as mere atmospherics.
"For better and worse it is one of the most important and most recognized and consequential [decision] for the lives of all Americans and their deepest beliefs in all of American history," he said. "He took sown Roe versus Wade. So that's how he he will be forever remembered."
They upped security for today's ruling. They know it's going to be potential unrest.
When the U.S. Supreme Court rules against the people, more people will revolt against the system.
It may time for the U.S. move past the Supreme Court and maneuver a place in the International Court of Justice. The United States Supreme Court is totally out of touch with a growing demographic that isn't white or male.
The decision that rolled out on Monday and today's have finally came. The public will react to them in some fashion.

Okay, the ruling on transgender women. The court ruled that states can officially ban transgender Americans from playing sports if they were biologically born male or female.
I hope that transgender Americans stop paying their taxes or defy state bans and do it anyway. Cause you aren't going to be a genital inspector in a locker room.
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that Title IX, the federal gender equity law, allows bans on trans girls’ and women’s participation in female school sports to stand.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the 6-3 decision, which combined two cases, West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox. He was joined by Justices John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett.
“The question before the Court is: Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females? In other words, may schools determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex? The answer is yes,” Kavanaugh wrote.
The more liberal justices concurred in part and dissented in part.
The Hecox case arose in 2020 when Idaho became the first state in the nation to pass a ban on trans girls’ and women’s participation in women’s athletics. That year, Lindsay Hecox, a trans woman who was then a first-year student at Boise State University, challenged Idaho’s law, claiming it violated her rights to equal protection under the 14th Amendment.
Hecox won both her cases in the district court and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, before the Supreme Court granted Idaho’s petition to hear the case in July of last year. Hecox has since asked the court to consider her case moot because she no longer plays or intends to play any sports. She said in her brief to the Supreme Court that she feared for her safety and ability to graduate as the subject of a high-profile case.
The other case, West Virginia v. B.P.J., examined a similar law and alleged that West Virginia’s ban also infringes on the gender equity law Title IX.
In both cases, the lawyers for the plaintiffs expressed fairly modest claims. They argued that only trans women and girls who have undergone hormone therapy should be allowed to play on women’s teams. Both Hecox and Becky Pepper-Jackson, the plaintiff in the other case, have done so.
The conservative Christian legal group representing both Idaho and West Virginia, the Alliance Defending Freedom, tried to make the case to the court for broader restrictions on trans rights by arguing that transgender identity is not the same as sex, and therefore should not be covered by equal protection statutes that prohibit sex discrimination.
LGBTQ+ advocates say anti-trans sports bans not only impact trans athletes but also open the door to invasive sex verification that can target anyone. Idaho’s law allows anyone to raise a claim disputing a student-athlete’s sex, which would require the student to see a doctor to verify their sex based on their reproductive organs, testosterone levels or genetics.
So far, 27 states have passed bans on trans athletes’ participating in women’s sports.
The Supreme Court struck down limits on coordinated spending between candidates and political parties on Tuesday, a win for Republicans that will fundamentally change how tens of millions of dollars are spent in congressional elections.
These are the same fools who are paying more in groceries. They have to have a scapegoat. Blame transgender Americans for their shitty lives.
The decision will have an almost immediate impact on the midterms. Removing the limit on coordinated spending effectively gives candidates direct control over a far greater amount of money being spent on their races. It is also likely to increase the flood of political advertising that hits the airwaves each fall.
The Supreme Court rejects President Donald J. Trump's executive order to strip birthright citizenship. It is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and requires a constitutional amendment to change that.
A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a broad conception of birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring that children born to people who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.
The justices relied on a long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, and more recent federal laws in ruling that anyone born in the country, with very limited exceptions, is a citizen.
“Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights—to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land,’” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court, citing congressional debate over the amendment, “We keep that promise today.”
Three conservative justices would have allowed the restrictions to take effect.
The Republican president’s restrictions had been blocked by several lower courts and had not taken effect anywhere in the U.S.
During arguments in April, both conservative and liberal justices questioned the order’s legality in a momentous case that was magnified by Trump’s unprecedented attendance in the courtroom.
The case framed another test of Trump’s assertions of executive power that defy long-standing precedent for a court with a conservative majority and a robust view of presidential power that has largely ruled in his favor. In the notable exceptions when the court has not, Trump has responded with starkly personal criticisms of the justices.
The justices ruled on Trump’s appeal of a lower-court ruling from New Hampshire that struck down the citizenship restrictions.
The birthright citizenship order, which Trump signed on the first day of his second term, is part of his administration’s broad immigration crackdown.
The Supreme Court sucks. They all suck.
Birthright citizenship was the first Trump immigration-related policy to reach the court for a final ruling. The justices previously struck down global tariffs Trump had imposed under an emergency powers law that had never been used that way.
Trump reacted furiously to the late February tariffs decision, saying he was ashamed of the justices who ruled against him and calling them unpatriotic.
He also seemed to recognize the court was likely to rule against him on birthright citizenship, too, using his Truth Social platform to criticize “dumb judges and justices” and wealthy pregnant women from China and elsewhere who come to the U.S. to give birth so their newborns will have American citizenship.
Trump’s order would have upended widely held views that the 14th Amendment confers citizenship on everyone born in the U.S., excluding only the children of foreign diplomats and those born to a foreign occupying force.
The amendment was intended to ensure that Black people, including former slaves, had citizenship, though the Citizenship Clause is written more broadly. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” it reads.
In a series of decisions, lower courts have struck down Trump’s executive order as illegal. The decisions have invoked the high court’s 1898 ruling in Wong Kim Ark, which held that the U.S.-born child of Chinese nationals was a citizen.
The Trump administration argued that the common view of citizenship is wrong, asserting that children of noncitizens are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and therefore are not entitled to citizenship.
More than one-quarter of a million babies born in the U.S. each year would have been affected by the executive order, according to research by the Migration Policy Institute and Pennsylvania State University’s Population Research Institute.
While Trump has largely focused on illegal immigration in his rhetoric and actions, the birthright citizenship restrictions also would have applied to people who are legally in the United States, including students and applicants for green cards, or permanent resident status.
Once again, white men are becoming more of threat to the structure of the nation.
President Donald J. Trump has proven that white men can not be leaders much longer. The Congress proves they can't govern on behalf of the public. The Supreme Court is not ruling like a body of justice but more like an activist with a podcast or talk show.
We are about mark 250 years of misinformation and deception. The United States was founded by white colonialists with a lack of education, improper hygiene and this notion that they must have shiny things. The founders looked upon the elites as inferior only to become those they loathed. Out of 45 men, one Black man was the U.S. president. They saw other people who were their likeness as cattle and toys for their pleasure. They molly wopped religious nonsense on the indigenous and Africans to keep them in fear of death.
They took our history and made it into their own. They refuse to pay for the labors that made this country exist.
They hijacked islands, expelled royals (the Kingdom of Hawa'ii), colonized communities and place their own branding of how governance to exist.
They literally fought one another over how they can keep people enslaved either as servants or pleasure to their misguided families.
Bobbie Hirsch, a transmale fencer. He will now be banned from participating in athletes in states that bans transgender Americans from playing sports.
Since 1948, all the U.S. presidents maintained a special relationship with a religious apartheid genocidal ethnostate. As we are moving closer to another world war, our current president isn't stepping off that boat yet.
He is afraid that country could ruin his legacy as a playboy real estate developer turned politician. He is afraid that the facade of his namesake will be tarnished for generations.
More and more Americans are looking at the -isms as distractions. Because your free speech should not impede on me feeding my family, paying my bills, providing my safety or the luxury to do anything. The -isms are inherited from your family members or some dumb ass agitator getting rich off the words spewed in the junk food media.
I do not condone hate. But if these assholes want to hate people because of their race, gender, religion, disabilities, mental fitness, body type, sexual orientation, gender identification, political votes, social standings, economic standings, immigration status or the feelings of others, let them cook in the filth.
They are repressed in their feelings. Even if they scream in your face, all you see is a red nose, makeup, a goofy wig, a big suit and big shoes. They are juggling around balls.
We can rid ourselves of one only to have thousands of others to reenact the very same shit.
They want to gas you up to commit crimes against one another. I am done worrying about someone using their free speech to disrespect me. They can say whatever the fuck they want.
They are going to bathroom dropping ducces like me and everyone else.
I support a country that works for the public in the common good. I believe everyone has the right to be themselves.
I am supportive of Black culture. I support more Black own and employed businesses.
I support the rights of our gay, lesbian, transgender, non conforming and bisexual community.
I empathize with Palestinians, Haitians, Cubans, Iranians, Congolese, Sudanese and Somalis as they face decades of colonialist punishment because they stood on business to not exploit their resources for betterment of the capitalist.
I empathize with our indigenous communities in the United States and Canada.
I empathize with our Americans who have disabilities.
I support Black fatherhood and Black empowerment.
The Trump Administration won. They can now legally deport Haitians and Syrians who filed for temporary asylum.
I support Black women and date them. I have dated outside my race and will continue to do so. I hold no bias towards white women, Asian American women, transwomen, women with disabilities, women with body type and any woman of color. I would date anyone who like me for being me. For now, I rather stay single.
I am not anti anything.
I am basically relying on survival as my tool for success now in this chaotic second term of Donald J. Trump.
Here's a question.
Why are we paying federal and state taxes to a government that don't give a fuck about you?
They want to take away your rights but still have you pay them to do so. Make it make sense.
Current Supreme Court.
Clarence Thomas - longest held. George H.W. Bush.
John Roberts - second longest, current Chief Justice. George W. Bush.
Michigan parents face LIFE in the iron college if they are found guilty of murder, child abuse and child negligence. The parents, Damian and Jessica O'Brien are being criminally charged after their son, Casper died from a heart attack. He was a small boy at 4'3" weighing over 255lbs.
For Americans who weigh over 300lbs, they are obsese. For children who are under 10 with weight over 200lbs, they are morbidly obsese.
The 7 year old boy was fed improperly. Despite warnings from school officials and social services, the parents gave in to the boy's request.
“Clearly the parents were feeding the child improperly, to say the least,” Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said Monday. “He wasn’t getting the nutrition he needed.”
Casper O'Brien died last November after first responders were called to the family's home in Flint because he'd stopped breathing, prosecutors said. His parents — Damien O’Brien, 40, and Jessica O’Brien, 41 — have each been charged with second-degree murder, torture and three counts of second-degree child abuse.
The couple were arraigned last week and are being held on no bond in jail in Genesee County, about an hour's drive northwest of Detroit. A probable cause hearing is set for Thursday.
The child, who was 4 feet, 2.5 inches (128 centimeters) tall, was medically classified as obese, according to the Genesee County Medical Examiner’s report. His cause of death was listed as dilated cardiomyopathy, with his weight being a contributing condition. Dilated cardiomyopathy happens when the heart becomes enlarged and weakened and can’t efficiently pump blood, which can affect other body systems including the lungs.
According to the criminal complaints, the parents failed to take Casper for treatment even though the family had health care.
Elias Fanous, an attorney representing Damien O’Brien, said in a statement that he wouldn’t speculate on the case’s circumstances and had no comment beyond saying that his client was “innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.” An attorney for Jessica O’Brien did not immediately return a request for comment Monday.
The boy was bedridden and nonverbal. The parents refused to have him get medical care.
Leyton said authorities believe Casper just consumed “a steady diet of snack foods.” He said Casper, who was nonverbal and bedridden, had severe bed sores and various rashes.
The autopsy report said law enforcement and Child Protective Services reported there were piles of trash in the home, and Casper was not enrolled in school. Leyton said the hoarding in the home was “terrible.”
One of the child abuse charges relates to the couple's 5-year-old daughter, who was placed in foster care.
Casper last saw his primary care provider in February 2024, according to the autopsy report, when he was diagnosed with a cough, congestion and metabolic disease. At that visit, he weighed 104 pounds (47 kilograms), and his mother was given information on a healthy diet and exercise, according to the report, which said he was referred to a pediatric endocrinologist but never saw one. The report said the metabolic disease wasn't specified in available medical records.
“It’s a very, very sad and tragic situation,” Leyton said. “I’ve been the prosecuting attorney for 22 years and I thought I’d seen it all but I’ve never seen anything quite like this.”
Busta Rhymes supposedly joining 50 Cent at a private event for MAGA.
Jeffrey Epstein class holds an event at a private club by the son of the U.S. president.
Non disclosure agreements but The Daily Beast leaked the performers.
Rap music is on the decline. Thank President Donald J. Trump for making rap music less popular now.
Donald Trump, Jr. is hosting a slew of old gees at his exclusive club in Washington, DC.
Apparently, Busta Rhymes, Timbaland, 50 Cent and Ja Rule are performers.
Timbaland is a producer and deejay who produced hits for the three. 50 and Ja have a long standing feud that blew up again in early 2026 when Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda accosted Ja on a flight. 50 went back on his bullshit. He has also targeted Rick Ross ans Clifford "T.I." Harris in his latest antics.
Ironic, Ja and 50 performing for MAGA despite the feud.
Didn't know DJ Timmy Tim, Ja and Busta Bust rocking with that shit. Well I knew 50 and Rozay rolling deep in the shit.
Hell, Nicki Minaj, Chilli, Waka Flocka Flame, Teddy Riley, Sheff G, Chief Keef, Takeshi 6ix9ine, Lil Pump, Lil Wayne, Ye and Sexyy Red rolling in this shit too.
Other rappers on that shit too.
Disconnect with the fans. Disconnect with the society we're all living in.
Tell you what we got to do as voters. Stop believing that endorsements and celebrities support of politicians matter. It doesn't.
They are entitled to support or oppose whomever they please.
It is not my place to stop an entertainer from voting or endorsing candidates.
Trump has a job approval of 31%. That means of 80 million people of voting age still rock with the policies of the president. So thus, of 335 million, only 1/3 will ride or die with this curmudgeon. It doesn't make much sense but hey, I am just a nobody with a blog.
50 Cent will perform at Donald Trump Jr.'s members-only MAGA club on the eve of America's 250th anniversary, the Daily Beast has learned.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper will take the stage at Executive Branch, the swanky Georgetown club co-owned by the president's eldest son, on July 3, sources told the Daily Beast.
Trump Jr. opened the club, which charges an annual membership fee of $500,000, alongside financiers Omeed Malik and Christopher Buskirk of 1789 Capital.
A person with ties to the Executive Branch told the Daily Beast that 50 Cent's performance follows several other rappers' headlining the club, including Busta Rhymes, Ja Rule, and Timbaland.
The scheduled performance comes after 50 Cent made headlines in 2024 for revealing on The Breakfast Club that he turned down $3 million to perform at Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden in New York.
"I'm afraid about politics," he said in October 2024. "It's because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you."
Ja Rule and Timbaland pose with Swizz Beatz. Ja and Tim are alleged performers at Donald Trump, Jr.'s MAGA club.
He then vowed he was done weighing in on politics altogether, citing Kanye West's fall from grace as an example of why.
"That's the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan," he said on The Breakfast Club. "He said something about [politics], and now he can only go to Japan."
While 50 Cent has not commented publicly on Trump's politics, his appearance at the Executive Branch appears to signal a change of heart on his part. The club has become a gathering place for well-connected figures within and around the Trump administration. Members reportedly include White House artificial intelligence adviser David Sacks, crypto investors Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and State Department Under Secretary Jacob Helberg. Former Rep. Mike Gallagher is also said to frequent the club as a guest.
It has also served as a post-dinner destination following major White House events. In November, it hosted an afterparty following a visit by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The crown prince, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson, Sens. Ashley Moody of Florida and Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania, and Mehmet Oz were among those in attendance.
Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Bettina Trump, were also reportedly there, along with numerous other political figures and Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Laura Ingraham.
Donald Trump, Jr. and wife Bettina. The controversial eldest son of President Donald J. Trump is making millions yet again off his father's shady deals with foreign leaders.
The Executive Branch club operates behind an unmarked entrance in Georgetown. The Daily Beast's political newsletter, The Swamp, was the first to reveal that it was located below a drab shopping and housing complex called Georgetown Park, in the former home of a billiards bar.
For his part, 50 Cent has a history of shifting his stance on Trump, 80. In 2019, the rapper told The Daily Beast that Trump had offered him half a million dollars to attend his inauguration but that he turned it down because "every dollar is not a good dollar." The following year, he voiced support for Trump before later tweeting, "F**k Trump, I never liked him," reversing course amid backlash.
The Daily Beast has contacted 50 Cent's management for comment on his upcoming performance.
While Trump Jr.'s exclusive club has landed a major headliner, the same cannot be said for the president's "Great American State Fair."
On Friday, Vanilla Ice's Freedom 250 performance was abruptly canceled due to the weather.
That cancellation was one in a series of setbacks for Freedom 250, the organization spearheading celebrations for America's 250th birthday. Vanilla Ice was originally slated to perform alongside Young MC, Milli Vanilli, and C+C Music Factory. But one by one, the performers dropped off the bill.
Trump, Jr. married Bettina Anderson in May. The president had to skip the event due to constraints with the U.S. Secret Service and the government of the Bahamas having issues to provide safety. They wed in the Bahamas.
Trump, Jr. was engaged to former Fox agitator turned U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle. He cheated on her numerous times with other women. Guilfoyle was married twice. Once to California governor Gavin Newsom when he was San Francisco district attorney and Eric Villency whom she has a son with.
Trump, Jr. was previously married to Vanessa Trump. They have five children. Vanessa is dating Tiger Woods.
Turns 61 in July. Still on this YN shit despite being an old gee.
And to think I was done with this dude...
It's 2026, please do not be like him. Matter of fact, do not be like me.
Oh, I know, I know...
He hated being called dude.
Over 60 years old, Peter Pan never grew up. I am sorry. I meant a former rapper, former reality television personality and repeat offender. His name is Raymond Edward Scott.
While driving in a 2015 Equinox, Scott and his girlfriend were speeding over 20 mph in a 70 speed limit zone. He was traveling on Interstate 75 in Crisp County, Georgia.
The former Love and Hip Hop television star was arrested in Crisp County after a traffic stop on Interstate 75, according to an incident report from the Arabi Police Department.
Police said the stop occurred on June 9, when an officer using a laser speed detection device observed a silver SUV traveling 91 miles per hour in a 70-mph zone near the 92-mile marker on Georgia 401.
According to the report, Scott told the officer he did not have a valid driver’s license because of issues related to child support. While speaking with Scott, the officer reported smelling marijuana coming from the vehicle.
As the vehicle was pulled over, the trooper immediately smelled weed.
Police said Scott admitted there was marijuana inside the SUV and directed officers to its location. During a search of the vehicle, officers found a bag containing suspected marijuana in the driver’s side door.
He was crying.
The report states a second bag containing suspected marijuana was found under a blanket in the back seat next to a passenger, identified as Ruth Lewis. Lewis reportedly told officers the marijuana belonged to her and was placed under arrest.
Authorities said a records check revealed Scott’s driver’s license was suspended for multiple offenses. He was taken into custody and transported to the Crisp County Jail.
The vehicle’s owner, identified as Ashley Bell, told officers Scott had been driving because she had taken medication and needed to sleep. Bell was cited for allowing an unlicensed driver to operate her vehicle, according to the report.
The recovered marijuana was collected and placed into evidence.
Scott and Lewis were booked into the Crisp County Jail on the listed charges. Additional court records were not immediately available.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Listening to Raymond Scott, an over 60 year old former rapper and media personality jump into the booth to rap like he one of these YNs is truly sad.
Scott has some fans but most people never of the dude.
I mean he is a walking fire sale of scandalous shit.
Just think about how he was in underwear trying to stab himself when he ex-girlfriend was concerned about him having these engagements with women, transwomen and men.
Althea Easton said he was breaking Bobby V's back.
I mean 50 could post on Instagram an image of him and automatically people will notice he has no neck. They are going to look at him as a grandfather who long past his time as a rapper.
Ms. Ruth Lewis, you might to think about your association with Raymond Scott. He done got your ass in the county lockup.
For a one hit wonder, Scott sure loves to be the center of attention knowing he has no other source of revenue but an occasional appearance on podcasts.
I got my issues with 50, but Scott is beating a horse dead. His career was destroyed by Eminem. One of the greatest rappers of all time, Mr. Marshall Bruce Mathers III rarely addresses him but when he does, expect fireworks from Scott.
Scott has expressed frustration that Em did not directly mention him on the 2024 album The Death of Slim Shady, despite Scott's multiple recent diss tracks. He has also publicly criticized Dr. Dre for calling Eminem the "best MC ever," viewing it as an insult to other rap legends like Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg. While Scott once apologized for the beef in 2012, he has since backtracked, stating his current stance is "still fuck Eminem".
Em said it best, "Why give them attention?" He doesn't want them to catch coins. He wants to leave the steaming in their filth. Scott is neck (uh, no neck) deep in the filth.
Scott better focus on getting his family back together. Cause word on the street, Coi LeRay and his half sister are greenlighting 50 to take him down.
Scott released three diss songs aimed at 50.
50 has not responded to any of them.
Scott is the father of Young Chavo, a regional rapper formerly known as Ray Ray.
Scott is the father of Coi LeRay, a major rapper, singer, model, media personality and podcaster.
Scott was the former co owner of The Source Magazine and Hip-Hop Weekly.
He had a brief stints on Love and Hip-Hop, Iyana: Fix My Life and Marriage Boot Camp.
He only released three albums as a solo artist. His albums The Benzino Project (also repackaged as The Benzino Remix Project), Redemption and The Archnemsis are no longer in distribution. You have to obtain them through eBay or Amazon.
At 60 years old, one would think Scott would just settle down from the microphone, camera and television. Not seeing he is no longer a rapper, Scott continues to act like he is one of these YN's.
He started rapping in 1987, that would be a grandfather year for some who never heard of him. He can't try to be the cool guy when he barely can do anything but scream at the clouds.
Nah, I am not trying to reign on his parade. He is a grown ass man. He is free to act how he wants to in public or in private.
No one cares whether he is riding with that community or not. No one cares about his neverend feud with Eminem or 50 Cent. People are on the internet not in the bookstores reading The Source or Hip-Hop Weekly.
Retire the noise, Raymond Scott.
He ain't palling around them white guys. See Dave Mays and Jonathan Scheter were the brains and co-founders of The Source. Two white..... Jewish guys who went to Harvard and were listening to hip-hop on a local college station. They came together with James Benard and Ed Young.
The Source was founded in Boston but ended up moving to New York where it grew to be one of the biggest hip-hop magazines of the 1990s.
Nonetheless, Scott managed to get in after Mays saw him performing at a local bar.
Mays thought it be a good idea to create a group from Boston involving Scott and four of his closest associates. They were known as the Almighty RSO. The group tried to be like Public Enemy meets Run DMC with Native Tongues and NWA inspiration. They didn't do well.
Scott kept pushing for better promotion. Mays was strong armed into it. When The Source did their music ratings which they labeled the "Five Mic" counsel, Mays pushed through ratings that didn't appeal to the reviewers. It led to Scheter, Bernard and Young leaving.
They took over 40 staffers with them.
Mays continues on and Scott ended up being the co-owner (despite having no experience in the media).
Scott would create another group called Made Men. Scott would end up pushing the group among his ventures and sub groups. It ended up being a costly expense.
Scott was inching for a feud. He was snubbed by Em after Scott pushed for a lower rating of his critically acclaimed The Marshal Matthers LP.
Em ignored Scott and eased up a small tap saying "Five mics in The Source, ain't holdin my fucking breathe..."
It set off the battle. Scott who went under the name of Benzino launched a series of disses on him. He named dropped Em's daughter which triggered the rapper to go all in.
He started a feud with Em to promote his album in 2002. Scott accused Em of being a "culture vulture" and a "Rap Elvis." Eminem is white and probably the most successful rappers because of his rhyming skills, not his race. Em released two devastating disses at Scott and ruined his rap career.
Scott in turn, used The Source Magazine as a weapon to trash Em. He tried to brand Em a racist after he made a demo tape dissing a Black woman. The song was blocked by Em and Scott ignored the injunction and released the single in full. Em sued the magazine and its founder Dave Mays, a white business executive and Scott's rap manager at the time. The Source ended up wasting all its money and going into bankruptcy. The magazine executives fired Mays and Scott after the feud. Mays ended up doing other ventures and Scott ended up going broke. Mays helped Scott get on reality television with Stevie J. He ended up ruining that and as of today, Scott has struggled.
Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap.
Scott who still goes by the name of Benzino has no chance of ever regaining the glory of his yesteryear.
He is pretty much toast.
He might as well settle down with an older woman (or whomever he chooses outside of that) who is in his age bracket.

What would be the best nickname for Raymond "Benzino" Scott?
Scott keeps saying that no one in the hood plays Eminem's music. Yet, he doesn't consider his music or even rivals Eminem defeated is played in the hood.
Scott said Em's music is trailer trash and most of his fans voted for Donald J. Trump. Eminem despises Trump and endorsed Kamala Harris for president. He normally doesn't get political but he hates politicians who target his music.
Eminem has dissed President Donald J. Trump, Candace Owens, Bill O'Reilly, C. Delores Tucker, Tipper Gore, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy and Majorie Taylor Greene.
He said thinks Em rhymes "masturbater in the elevator" whenever he's on the mic.
While Em does say controversial things, most of his lyrics are mostly double entredre. It usually flies over Scott's head. If Em was being subliminal, Scott would be spared the wrath.
Scott aimed at Em's family (daughter and grandson). Eminem responded in due time. He personally goes after rap rivals who still don't understand why he is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time.
Tell me:
Has anyone in the hood ever heard of a Raymond Scott song (other than the most recent disses)?
Or perhaps has anyone ever played any of Benzino's music?
Let me make this clear. If you believe your street credibility leads to you being arrested, financially struggling, estranged from your family, constantly angry at people, always trying win favor for unruly behavior; it's not the streets, it's you.
Raymond Scott, please get some mental health treatment. Try to repair the broken relationship with Coi, Chavo, Taj and Zino. Stop capping. Act your fucking age. Stop obsessing with Eminem.
Matter of fact, keep going. You want the attention. I mean you're over 60 years old, there still some money in being an old clout chaser.
Dude, your behavior is a totally a prediction of being a stan or seriously mentally disturbed human being. You know I'm sayin'?
