They Were Booing The Spurs!

Trump in his knickerbockers. 

The 80 year old curmudgeon ignored the fans boos at Madison Square Garden on Monday. He dismissed it as just rowdy fans. 

President Donald J. Trump's appearance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals was not his best moment. He will feel more comfortable attending the UFC 250 at the White House.

He is actually 79 years old. He will turn 80 on Sunday.

The UFC event takes place that night and will be streamed on Paramount+. 

Dana White, Vince McMahon, Larry and David Ellison have stakes in this event. A bunch of fucking elitists watching people injure themselves for entertainment.

The president's birthday is on June 14, Flag Day. 

He will not celebrate Juneteenth which happens on June 19.

Okay, the San Antonio Spurs came back from a small deficit to beat the New York Knicks for a win of 115 to 111. The fans blame the president for the loss. The Knicks were hoping for a sweep.

The sweep ended tonight.

Victor Wembanyama had 32 points, eight rebounds and six assists in his first NBA Finals win, carrying the San Antonio Spurs to a 115-111 victory on Monday night that cut the New York Knicks’ lead to 2-1.

The Spurs handed the Knicks their first loss in 46 days and potentially salvaged their season in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd that included Trump.

The Knicks had their 13-game winning streak, the second-longest in NBA postseason history, snapped and missed a chance to move to the brink of their first championship since 1973.

Game 4 in New York.

Stephon Castle and De’Aaron Fox hit big shots late as the Spurs avoided falling into a 3-0 hole, which no NBA team has escaped. Now they can tie the series Wednesday night and are guaranteed another game at home, with Game 5 scheduled for Saturday.

Castle finished with 23 points as the Spurs got started in their quest to become the first team to win the NBA Finals after losing the first two at home.

Jalen Brunson scored 32 points and OG Anunoby had 28 for the Knicks, who lost for the first time since April 23 in Game 3 of their first-round series against Atlanta.

Fans who endured long lines to get in with the extra security measures in place — and some who paid five-figure sums for the chance to do so — were treated to a back-and-forth game in the NBA Finals’ first trip to Madison Square Garden since 1999.

Wembanyama, the 7-foot-4 Frenchman whose turnover late in Game 2 ended the Spurs’ hopes, didn’t make many mistakes Monday. He had 10 points in the final quarter, helping the Spurs build just enough of a cushion to withstand another Brunson comeback attempt.

Minutes after Trump was loudly booed while shown during the national anthem, the Spurs got off to an ideal start. Wembanyama dunked for their first two baskets and they had a double-digit lead 4 1/2 minutes into the game. San Antonio made nine of its first 11 shots, with the Knicks and their fans frustrated by the referees and the home team’s sloppy play, and led 33-22 after one.

The Garden crowd didn’t really start to rock until Anunoby’s 3-pointer capped an 11-2 surge that cut it to 40-38. The Knicks got their first lead of the night on Brunson’s 26-footer as part of a big burst to finish the half. New York led 64-57 at the break.

But the Spurs went back ahead in the third quarter and led 111-104 on Castle’s 3-pointer with 1:53 to play. Castle then closed the scoring with two free throws with 6.8 seconds left after Anunoby’s 3-pointer cut it to two.

Trump appeared to fall asleep when he attended the game.

Reality Bites!

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag will move from Los Angeles. Pratt loses his primary to Karen Bass and Nithya Raman.

President Donald J. Trump and Republicans are fuming over the shocking loss of reality television agitator Spencer Pratt.

While he was vying for the challenger spot, a progressive candidate quickly overtaken his spot.

It appears that a moderate Democrat will face off against a progressive Democrat.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will face City Council member Nithya Raman in a runoff election for Bass’ job in November, NBC News projects, teeing up a one-on-one matchup between two Democrats.

Bass and Raman, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, emerged from a crowded all-party primary field that included former reality TV star Spencer Pratt, a registered Republican who ran an insurgent campaign focused on criticizing Bass for her response to the Los Angeles wildfires last year.

Since no candidate earned more than 50% of the vote, the top two finishers go to a runoff this fall. NBC News previously projected Bass would advance to the general election.

While Pratt was in second place behind Bass on election night, the successive vote tallies have been more Democratic-leaning, allowing Raman to surpass Pratt. It’s part of a pattern all over California in this primary, with late-counted votes leaning more Democratic after a late surge in turnout by party members.

Bass, a former member of Congress, was first elected mayor in 2022, when she defeated real estate developer Rick Caruso in an expensive race. But she faced backlash during and after last year’s destructive wildfires, including for being out of the country when they broke out. The fires burned over 16,000 structures, and at times, fire hydrants and water tanks ran out of water, limiting efforts to fight the blaze.

In March, 56% of respondents in a Los Angeles Times poll of the city said they had unfavorable views of the mayor.

It was against that backdrop that Raman decided this year to launch a bid for mayor, despite close political ties with Bass. Raman had endorsed Bass for re-election before she entered the race herself, and Bass backed her during her contested City Council re-election campaign in 2024.

During her campaign launch, Raman told supporters: “My team and I have tried so hard to intervene aggressively on the most urgent issues that this city is facing, our housing and homelessness crisis, building a better safety response, getting our basic services to work for people. But over and over again, in the building, in City Hall, I found myself running into a wall of reluctance, a reluctance to move forward with the transformative policy change that this city needs right now.”

Bass pushed back during the campaign, arguing that Raman failed to use her seat on the council to push the changes she says are necessary. “The problem,” Bass said at a debate with Raman before the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association in May, “is that for you to act like you’re brand new or you’ve been on the outside for the last almost six years is not accurate.”

On the campaign trail, Bass also acknowledged the public’s frustrations over issues like the wildfires and widespread homelessness in Los Angeles while touting progress her administration has made. And in an election night speech last week, Bass projected confidence about re-election, though it wasn’t clear at that point whom she would face in the runoff.

Friendly fire.

“I appreciate you for believing in me. I appreciate you for standing with me when others doubted me, because you know who I am,” Bass said. “I have devoted my entire life to serving the city that I love, where I was born, and I’m going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November.”

Bass’ wobbly standing with voters led to challenges from both the left and the right. Pratt’s presence in the race, from the social media videos he amplified to the broadsides he delivered against Bass, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other prominent state Democrats, drew higher-than-usual levels of national attention to the election. Pratt, the former star of 2000s MTV show “The Hills,” lost his house in last year’s fires.

He not only blamed Bass for the mass destruction from last year’s wildfires but also pledged to eliminate the city’s homelessness crisis if he were elected.

President Donald Trump didn’t issue a formal endorsement, but he praised Pratt’s bid, saying: “I’d like to see him do well. He’s a character.”

Raman’s move to the runoff election will create a very different type of race from the one Bass would have had against Pratt.

Before the primary, a Los Angeles Times poll tested three one-on-one matchups. The survey showed both Bass and Raman with wide leads in potential matchups with Pratt, with the results looking like a more traditional partisan contest.

But the Democrat-versus-Democrat matchup between Bass and Raman was different. Raman took 32% support to Bass’ 28% in that scenario in the poll — a lead within the margin of error — while a whopping 40% of respondents said they weren’t sure or wouldn’t vote, pointing to a more volatile campaign and more voters unsure about what they want to do.

Curmudgeon Spoils New York Knicks Fan Experience!

The old man steals the show.

I call the shots....

President Donald J. Trump and his family are expected to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals in New York City. That means that mayor Zohran Mamdani will have to accommodate the president.

The U.S. Secret Service, New York Police Department, New York State Police and the Port Authority Of New York and New Jersey will make arrangements for the safety of the president.

Fans will not be able to watch the game from Madison Square Garden. 

Oh, Israel attacked Lebanon. Iran strikes Israel in response to the ceasefire violations.

Oil prices are spiking again. The U.S. Oil Strategic Reserves are drying up.

More people are losing their jobs over the amount of jobs established. 

There is an emergency lawsuit to halt Paramount+ and UFC from hosting Freedom 250 on the grounds of the White House. The event is expected to take place on June 14, the president's birthday.

The 80 year old also was handed defeats. A federal judge ordered that Trump's name is to be removed from the Kennedy Center and U.S. Institute of Peace.

With the Knicks in the finals for the first time since 1999 and leading the series 2-0, their first home game this round is a hot ticket. The get-in price exceeds the average cost of rent in the biggest U.S. city.

As of Sunday evening, the cheapest upper-deck seats available were going for over $6,000 on secondary markets like StubHub, SeatGeek and VividSeats. The experience of being courtside goes for more than $75,000.

“I don’t care who you are, that’s a lot of money for a ticket,” said guard Jose Alvarado, a New York native who was planning a viewing party in Brooklyn and pointed out his Queens high school also is hosting one. “People that could afford it, we’re grateful with them coming out, and it just shows you our team is really special and we’re doing something here that hasn’t been done in a long time.”

The Knicks are two victories away from their first championship since 1973, and the hoopla for Game 3 includes the anticipated appearances of President Donald Trump and Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Trump’s presence canceled a planned watch party outside the arena, where fans have gathered throughout this run that has included a 13-game winning streak.

“Hope has been brought back to the city,” center Karl-Anthony Towns said. Teammate Josh Hart expects “it’s going to be rocking” but lamented the high cost just to get into the Garden.

“I kind of wish the ticket prices weren’t as crazy as they are,” Hart said. “I feel like a lot of people who have been waiting for this moment for a very long time unfortunately aren’t able to get into the building.”

No NBA team has gone up 2-0 in the finals on the road and not won the series. The possibility of a sweep drove ticket prices up to over $10,000 apiece, and an if-necessary Game 6 is around the same cost.

Under 20,000 people will get the opportunity to attend each night. Alvarado knows far more will be watching on television all over.

“The people that can’t afford it, we improvise,” he said. “We’re New Yorkers. We’re going to find a way to watch a game, and that’s what we’re doing.

Curmudgeon Storms Out On Kristen Welker!

Trump berates Kristen Welker again.

President Donald J. Trump turns 80 next Sunday. He certainly acts like an old grumpy curmudgeon fart bag.

On and off in the rain, and I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what?

He then signaled for his team to leave, got up from his seat and proceeded to walk off camera.

After the interviewed aired, Welker said she spoke with the president Saturday and the two acknowledged the “complications” posed by the rain during the interview. Trump has agreed to sit down for another interview, per Welker.

If the damn near 80 year old President Of The United States has the type of tantrum and say he was a Democrat, the junk food media would be all over this like they would question his cognitive abilities.

Even Joe Biden never expressed this type of behavior.

But for Donald J. Trump, this is the norm.

In his latest interview filmed in Wisconsin, NBC host Kristen Welker was verbally berated by the president after she questioned him on why he keeps repeating the lie he won the 2020 presidential election.

Trump falsely continues this notion that the U.S. elections were rigged and his desperately trying to encourage Republicans to gerrymander districts to keep the party in power. He also is advocating for the SAVE Act to rollback voting rights and set a new precedent for how Americans vote.

Again showing disrespect to a Black woman who is doing her job by holding the elected leaders accountable. Not cow tailing to a man who thinks he's right no matter what you tell him.

She is not Sean "Softball" Hannity or these bootlickers.

Welker, for all she is worth is a pretty fair journalist. Despise how she wants to take the opportunity to welcome more Zionists and Republicans on that platform.

Not phased by the actions.

She is no Chuck Todd.

Welker is ranked No. 2 behind Margaret Brennan and George Stephanopoulos/Martha Raddiz.

Meet The Press filmed their interview with the president and he got really testy and decided to throw Biden in. The Jan 6 event happened under Trump and it was active through his final weeks and throughout Biden's term.

Trump threw away the hard work of the FBI, U.S. Attorneys and federal judges for phony martyrdom. The people who committed those violent acts are unrepentant (well one is and she vows to fight against the president).

Trump in regards to why he pardoned the Jan. 6 rioters.

The people were destroyed by dirty cops and by weaponization. Many of those people should be compensated. Now, with that being said, the, as I understand it, the weaponization fund was going to set up a group of people, people that could be picked by anybody, fair people, smart people, and they will go on an individual case basis. 

Basically, Trump claims Michael Byrd (the officer who shot Ashlee Babbitt) and the U.S. Capitol Police helped Jan. 6 rioters into the building under false pretenses. Forget the call, "we cannot be weak." The "I will march down to the Capitol" with you remarks. 

Trump’s crash-out arrived minutes after Welker asked him about the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, a concept that the administration says its “not moving forward” despite the president not ruling out the idea of Jan. 6 rioters getting taxpayer-funded payouts.

Oh my favorite, we "If Mike Pence doesn't do his job, I won't be happy..."

I am paraphrasing it and making it clear that the voters elected an unrepentant sexual predator as our president because the previous president turned on his base by allowing a foreign nation commit a genocide, told the Americans that the economy was fine when it wasn't and continued to believe in working across the aisle when the Republicans refused to do so. Also he had three white senators who caucused with the Democrats clogging his agenda.

I Spy With That Little Eye!

Spying is so Israeli.

The U.S. intelligence community has a high concern on its ally. That means the government is treating it as a hostile entity. 

Israel is flagrantly violating the ceasefire and is spying on Americans. Israel claims its false and calls it "blood libel." 

U.S. officials are resorting to bringing burner phones, avoiding hotels frequent by Israelis and keeping conversations limited.

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”

The designation stems from concerns within the Pentagon that Israel is making a particular effort to surveil top U.S. officials to get information on the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and decision-making on the conflicts in the Middle East, the officials said.

The DIA assessment includes a seven-page document and features a chart, according to one of the current U.S. officials. The document says the assessment of Israel is that its ability to conduct human espionage and technical collection is at a “critical level,” according to the official.

It also identifies a series of specific incidents that heightened U.S. concerns, the official said.

A spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., said in a statement that it is “completely false” that Israel spies on the U.S. “Israel does not gather intelligence on American entities, let alone US government officials,” the spokesperson said. “Israel intelligence collection efforts are aimed at its enemies, not its allies. Any claims to the contrary are either misinformed or politically motivated.”

The Pentagon declined to comment.

A White House official said in a statement, “This entire story is false and sourced to someone who doesn’t have any knowledge of what’s going on.”

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees all the U.S. intelligence agencies including the DIA, did not respond to a request for comment.

While it is commonplace for allies and adversaries across the globe to spy on each other, the current and former U.S. officials said Israel’s recent efforts have gone well beyond what is typical and expected espionage. The officials did not know if a specific incident triggered the DIA’s decision to raise the counterintelligence threat level.

The heightened alert comes as President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have clashed over the war with Iran and Israel’s military operations in Lebanon, including in a tense phone call this past week, NBC News reported. Trump acknowledged afterward to reporters that he called Netanyahu “crazy” during the call as questions mount about whether the two countries’ objectives in the Middle East are beginning to significantly diverge.

Since a ceasefire deal was reached in early April, Trump has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Iran to end the war Israel and the U.S. launched on Feb. 28. Israel has publicly expressed skepticism that Iran would abide by any negotiated deal. Netanyahu has pushed for a resumption of bombing raids against Iran and disagreed with Trump, who has pressed him to scale back attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to Western officials.

Israel is keenly interested in whether Trump decides to resume major combat operations against Iran or to end the conflict, the current and former U.S. officials and outside experts said.

The most practical outcome for the Pentagon is that U.S. officials will use extra caution when traveling to Israel or visiting with Israeli officials, the current and former U.S. officials said. They said there did not appear to be any impact on the high-level intelligence-sharing that occurs on a daily basis between the two countries, particularly associated with the Iran war.

“The U.S. already takes extra precautions when visiting Israel,” one of the current U.S. officials said. “They’re well-known to aggressively collect.”

The U.S. continues to aid Israel despite revelations of espionage.

The U.S., like other countries, maintains elaborate counterintelligence, or “spy catcher,” efforts to prevent and track espionage by foreign adversaries as well as by allies and partners, seeking to safeguard state secrets and monitor attempts to recruit or coerce U.S. officials. Under U.S. law, the FBI has the leading role in counterintelligence efforts, but they also involve a range of government agencies and the military.

According to current and former diplomats and former national security officials, Israel for years has had a reputation for aggressive espionage even against the U.S., its closest ally. It’s a practice that has long raised concerns among national security and diplomatic officials, and U.S. intelligence officials closely monitor the issue, according to experts and the current and former U.S. officials.

Top U.S. officials often take extra care when traveling to Israel, sometimes using burner phones and computers and taking extreme caution when speaking in hotel rooms during official trips, the current and former U.S. officials and experts said.

Israel has “a hyper-aggressive intelligence service,” said Emily Harding, vice president of the Defense and Security Department and director of the intelligence, national security and technology program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank in Washington. “They are exceedingly interested in what we are up to,” Harding said of the Israelis.

In the 1980s, spying by Israel caused a rift with Washington, with U.S. Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard spending 30 years in prison after he was found to have sold suitcases of top-secret documents to Israel.

The U.S. also spies on its allies and seeks to gather intelligence on foreign partners, as evidenced in 2013 by leaks from intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.

Those leaks showed that the U.S. was eavesdropping on European leaders, including then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone, sparking outrage in Berlin.

The U.S. and Israel remain close allies, and the two countries’ intelligence services have forged a close working relationship over decades. But concerns about possible Israeli espionage at such a sensitive moment — when the two governments are not in full agreement about the war with Iran — carry the risk of undermining trust between the two countries, two additional former U.S. officials said.

OH Guns: Mass Shooting In Toledo!

Another deadly beginning this Summer.

The leading cause of death among children is gun violence. Not transgender Americans. Not video games. Not rap music. Not streamers. Not podcasters. Not woke.

We got to stop gaslighting. Nevermind, its a free country. They never will learn.

Until it affects their pocket, their family or their lives, it's always point and sneer.

Okay, the United States is the most violent country on the freaking planet. The old saying don't get comfortable really, really means something. 

Can't these assholes just place the blame on the shooter and the fucking lawmakers who made it easier for people gassed up to own firearms?

Okay I haven't covered every mass shooting in the U.S.

Since Jan. 1 to June 1, we have over 200 mass shootings. That is more than days on a fucking calendar.

Any city in bold is multiple incidents. Any city that is large text means bigger crisis.

Texas, Florida, California, Missouri, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and Virginia are leading in gun violence.

Any city in bold is multiple incidents. Any city that is large text means bigger crisis.

A gunman opens fire on a music event in Toledo, Ohio.

Toledo is a city in northwest Ohio with a population of 256,000 residents.

Cue the politicians.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Mike DeWine, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) and the U.S. House members were notified of this.

Toledo has a deadly weekend.

Another mass shooting to make the U.S. junk food media. With the billions of taxpayer money going to foreign wars, we could use this money to stop gun violence.

Multiple people were injured in a shooting near a festival in Toledo Saturday evening, police said. Now officers are searching the area for suspects.

TPD was called out to the area of Delaware Ave. and Glenwood Ave. near the Old West End Festival just after 5:30 p.m. Saturday evening.

Officers found multiple people had been shot and “many” people were taken to area hospitals for treatment, police said. The extent of their injuries is unknown at this time.

A spokesperson for TPD released a statement at 6:30 p.m. Saturday saying officers are actively searching nearby areas for those involved in the shooting.

Authorities have not released a description of any possible suspects.

Investigators are asking the public to avoid the area of Delaware and Robinwood Avenues Saturday evening as they work to figure out what led up to the shooting and to find the alleged shooter or shooters.

Anyone with information can text or call Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111. You can remain anonymous.

Governor Mike DeWine released a statement on the festival shooting.

“Summer festivals should be safe spaces for families to spend time together without fear of violence,” DeWine said. “Fran and I are praying for everyone impacted by the incident at the Old West End Festival, and we are confident that law enforcement will locate the suspects involved in this senseless crime.”

Expect more and more.

How many (up to 3 deaths or injuries) shootings? 

5,460 homicides and 9,800 shootings.

How many mass shootings?

215 mass shootings.

How many school shootings?

12 school shootings. 29 near campus shootings.

How many religious institution shootings?

4 religious institutions.

How many civilians killed by police?

490 people killed by police.

How many police officers killed by civilians, infastruture, vehicles, animals or nature?

45 members of law enforcement.

How many firefighters and first responders died in incidents?

6 members of firefighters and first responders.

Are you getting tired of this?

The status quo politics of "can't do nothing" or "now is not the time."

On average there are two mass shootings a day now. It never stops. 

Uh oh. Better see if the far right preparing to make this shooter a leftist.

I wonder if Charlie Kirk got something to say about it?

Nevermind.

Only in America, how many more mass shootings must we deal with before we finally curb gun violence?

The mass shootings have to total 100 or more dead.

An elected official will be shot and killed.

A terrorist will target a protected group.

Police officers will be killed by a gunman.

All of these above.

The United States is the most violent country in the world. Israel and Russia follow behind respectfully. Israel, Russia and the United States are the most hated countries in the world. 

The United States is downsizing in democracy. 

What is wrong with white men, white women and white boys?

It's the guns stupid!

Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:

• White
• Black
• Latino
• Muslim
• Arab
• Non White National
• Immigrant
• A member of the LGBTQ community 
• A disgruntled employee 
• A former student
• A current student
• A gang member
• A so called leftist 
• A person who has conservative views
• A person with easy access to firearm

The person with easy access to firearms should be the only answer. Alas, the far right is hoping for this to be a person they can scapegoat as their next de jour of outrage. Anyone can get firearm in the United States. Even, people who are non U.S. citizens are allowed to obtain firearms. 

The real issue is not just guns, it's white men, white women tears and white boys. They are losing their goddamn minds. Inspired by loneliness, politics, job loss, social media trends, endless perceptions of others, the lack of opportunities (besides joining the military) and the need to be ahead of everyone else is what drives these fools to commit endless chaos.

If the suspect is white, they will give the shooter a glaring profile. If the suspect is not white, expect the far right to claim its the left or accused a certain nationality, race, religion or sexuality the cause of mass shootings.

White privilege also santizes the white shooters. Already we are getting details of the mass shooters. Glaring profiles of these white mass shooters to paint them as unfortunate circumstances. Ignoring the fact, these terrorists had signs of potential danger but their families thought it was just noise.

That restraining order doesn't mean much to a deranged individual. It's a trigger!

I wish things could have turned out well! But unfortunately, a shooter never abides to a court order!

How can a piece of paper protect a victim when it's not reliant on stopping the perpetrator (from causing harm)?

America.

The real issue is gun violence. Not comedians. Not activists. Not Black men. Not immigrants. Not Muslims. Not transgender Americans. Not video games. Not movies. Not rap music. Not the left.

A man made crisis that can be solved if these incompetent politicians and media agitators stop making excuses for the continued gun violence epidemic. Prayers are just words and speeches. Instead offering words, how about policies?

The United States is downsizing in democracy and freedom.

I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.

A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence. Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers", "send them back" with a touch of "lock em up."

Gun violence continues to be the number one threat in the United States.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are always mentally ill or lone wolves. The far right believes they should receive some sympathy for their crimes. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals who deserve lengthy time in the iron college or death. Gay and transgender shooters are active groomers who want to be pedophiles on children. Muslim shooters are terrorists who should be surveiled or deported. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants and they should be deported. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [leftist or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the politics of the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the ridiculous "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black. Even if the evidence turns out that the shooter has alignment with conservative causes or Republicans, the far right dismisses it as a hoax or a plot to demonize the MAGA movement.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.

Trump gave us open season.

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

IF THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO AID ISRAEL, THE WORLD WILL BOYCOTT THE U.S. AND ABANDON THE DOLLAR!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.

Iran isn't a threat. The U.S. citizen with a firearm is the threat.

People, please do not resort to the levels of those who profit off the anger. The anger of right wing Americans in the wake of white nationalist Charlie Kirk's death has sparked a censorship and harassment campaign.

Let me be clear: I do not condone violence towards to politicians, media personalities, animals and property. I am not condemning things any longer. I am getting tired of putting empathy on antipathy.

Any current or future government shutdown will definitely rile up people. When you start fucking with the money, people start going crazy. Especially when their needs outmatch the noise of Congress and the junk food media.

If you care about the future and want to voice your frustration with your federal officials, let 2026 be the call to action. 

The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.

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

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. You want no more qualified immunity for police officers who use deadly force when it's not justified. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want the U.S. to improve the immigration process. You want the U.S. lawmakers stop dehumanizing human beings. You want the U.S. to prove to the world its a beacon of freedom. You want our American military and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents out of our cities, the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that you tired of being lectured about oppresive regimes overseas when the very people running our state and federal government are doing the same in real time. Let them know that you will not tolerate a government shutdown which affects federal services for Americans in need or in support of services. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism because you support the freedom of Palestinians. You are tired of the propaganda being forced on your media platforms.

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

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

LET ME BE CLEAR, PRAYERS DO NOT STOP FUCKING BULLETS!

THIS IS A MAN-MADE ISSUE! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO STOP A MAN-MADE ISSUE LIKE GUN VIOLENCE?

STOP SAYING YOU'RE PRAYING TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IT IS FUCKING PLATITUDES. DO SOMETHING ABOUT FUCKING GUN VIOLENCE YOU WORTHLESS LAWMAKERS. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE THE STATUS QUO WILL KEEP YOU AND OTHERS AT RISK OF VIOLENCE. MAKE A CHOICE TO STOP THE CHAOS AND ACT LIKE A FUCKING 79 YEAR OLD MAN. DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE COUNTRY.

IRAN IS RIGHT! THE UNITED STATES HAS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE INSTALLED WITH A SIXTH GRADE EDUCATION. AMERICANS MAKE SO MUCH MONEY OFF OF DIVISION. THEY ARE WILLING TO SOW CHAOS TO THE NEXT POTENTIAL THREATS. I WISH WE CAN STOP GASLIGHTING AND COME TO SENSIBLE SOLUTIONS. HOWEVER, WHITE LEADERSHIP IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF THE CHAOS IN THE WORLD.

Bear IN Grin It!

Indiana Bears. The Chicago Bears officially move to Hammond.

Crony capitalism.

Another issue that is driving America down.

Corruption exist within the National Football League. The NFL and its owners have too much power and it has to be stopped. 

How the fuck can you allow NFL team owners this much power?

The NFL owners have wealth to build their own fucking stadiums. They force the building of their stadiums on the taxpayers. To play at least eight to twelve games at home, make them pay huge amounts for food and beverages, huge amounts for hotels, huge amounts for parking and huge amounts for the broadcasting rights.

Stadium sits idle for seven months while the season is over. Total 

It is official.

The state of Indiana and the Chicago Bears have reached an agreement to build an indoor stadium in Hammond.

Hammond is located 30 miles from the Chicago Loop. Approximately a 45 minute drive depending on traffic conditions on the Dan Ryan Freeway, the Chicago Skyway or Lakeshore Drive.

The Chicago Bears’ Board of Directors officially voted to advance the Hammond stadium development. The team has committed $2 billion of its own money toward the project. However, the remaining infrastructure, tax diversion districts, and public debt guarantees ensure that blue-collar residents in Northwest Indiana will be paying for this stadium for decades.

The team will officially leave the iconic Soliders Field in 2033. 

The Chicago Bears are looking to build a stadium in Northwest Indiana after a proposal to provide financial incentives for the NFL team to build its new home in Illinois stalled in the state legislature.

The Bears’ board of directors voted Thursday to move forward with a stadium development project in Hammond, Indiana. The team had been doing its due diligence on a tract of land near Wolf Lake, but it said Friday that an exact site had not been selected.

“We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region, connecting Northwest Indiana to the South Side of Chicago through the Loop and across neighborhoods and suburbs stretching north of the city,” the Bears said in a statement that the team attributed to chairman George McCaskey and team president Kevin Warren. “It will bring Chicagoland together and deliver new opportunities to its residents and businesses.”

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun welcomed the team’s announcement. A committee in the Indiana House of Representatives passed a bill in February that established a Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority to finance, construct and lease a stadium.

“We look forward to building a partnership as strong as the ’85 Bears defense, creating opportunities and economic growth that will benefit our state and the Bears organization for decades to come,” Braun said in a statement. “An NFL franchise in Northwest Indiana will be an economic boost to the entire region like we haven’t seen before.”

The Bears, a charter NFL franchise, have played in Illinois since the team’s founding in 1920 as the Decatur Staleys. They moved to Chicago in 1921 and called Wrigley Field home before they started playing at Soldier Field in September 1971.

The Bears’ lease runs through 2033, but they can pay a fee to break the lease early. Soldier Field is about 40 miles south of Halas Hall — the team’s headquarters in Lake Forest, Illinois — and Hammond is about 20 miles south of the team’s lakefront stadium.

Matt Hill, a spokesperson for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, said the governor “remains open to a sensible solution that protects taxpayers.”

“The Bears have built a storied legacy in Illinois for over 100 years but have spent the last six years, and especially the last few months, shifting their position on a stadium location,” Hill said in a statement. “That has hindered their progress. Today appears to be another instance of that after Illinois leaders have been working with the Bears in good faith.”

The Bears also had been considering Arlington Heights — about 30 miles northwest of Chicago — as a potential location for their new stadium.

The Illinois Senate passed a bill early Monday morning that would have cleared the way for Arlington Heights and Chicago to create local stadium authorities, creating a pathway for the Bears to avoid paying property taxes on a new stadium in Illinois. But the House adjourned without taking up the measure on the last day of the state’s spring legislative session.

State Rep. Kam Buckner, whose district includes Soldier Field, posted on social media that he spoke with Warren on Friday morning.

“He ended the conversation by committing to continue discussions around their pursuit of a new stadium in Illinois,” Buckner said.

While the Bears said as recently as May 21 that Hammond and Arlington Heights were the only sites under consideration, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has been lobbying for the team to stay in the city.

The mayor’s office issued a statement that said the city “will continue to engage in discussions grounded in the interests of our residents.”

The Bears still have to secure NFL approval for the location of their new stadium. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the team has kept the league apprised of all developments.

The Bears have been pursuing a new home for years, but the process has been hampered by repeated twists and turns.

The team announced in September 2021 that it had signed a purchase agreement for 326 acres of land in Arlington Heights. The $197 million deal with Churchill Downs Incorporated was finalized in 2023.

In September 2022, the team unveiled a nearly $5 billion plan for Arlington Heights that called for an enclosed stadium that could host Super Bowls and Final Fours. The conceptual illustrations also provided for a year-round entertainment district with restaurants and shopping.

But the Bears shifted their focus toward building a new stadium next to Soldier Field after Warren was hired as team president in January 2023, replacing the retiring Ted Phillips. The plan to transform Chicago’s Museum Campus got an enthusiastic endorsement from Johnson and a tepid reception from Pritzker and state legislators when it was announced in April 2024.

The team switched gears again in May 2025, announcing it had made “significant progress” with local leaders in Arlington Heights.

Amid lingering efforts to secure tax incentives in Illinois, along with as much as $855 million in public money for infrastructure at the Arlington Heights site, the Bears began to take a closer look at possible options in Northwest Indiana.

Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. said the Bears decided on Hammond because it’s “a successful city of opportunity and possibility, an excellent choice for such a significant investment.”

Ceasefires Are For Them Not Us!

Hezbollah fights for survival. The junk food media continues to call it Iran backed militants to generate the perception they're terrorists. No it's Lebanese people backed and the last line of resistance to Israel's destructive expansions.

If a ceasefire includes continuous attacks, then it isn't one.

Iran has made it clear, for the aggression to end, the United States and Israel must stop its aggressions. Unfortunately, Israel doesn't think it should stop and that's the problem.

Since this aggression, Israel has continued to violate by attacking Lebanon and Gaza relentlessly.

The House of Representatives is proposing an amendment to include the Israeli Defense Forces into the U.S. Armed Forces. The controversy centers on Section 224 of the U.S. House version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), titled the "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative". Rather than directly incorporating IDF soldiers into the U.S. military, the bill establishes extensive co-production, joint ventures, and technology sharing across the defense-industrial base.

Opponents fear that deep system integration and joint ventures could pull U.S. forces into regional Middle Eastern conflicts without distinct congressional oversight or unilateral American decision-making.

Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed nine people including three members of the Lebanese military, the Lebanese army and state media said, days after the two sides reached a new ceasefire deal.

An airstrike on a vehicle on a road linking the city of Nabatiyeh with the town of Marjayoun killed a brigadier general, a captain and another soldier, the army said, without immediately releasing their names. Another airstrike on the southern village of Saksakiyah killed six people and wounded four, state-run National News Agency said.

A kamikaze drone cost less than $40,000 to a $3 million American paid missile.

“The continued, deliberate, and repeated Israeli aggression against Lebanon, its people and its army only strengthens our resolve, faith and determination,” the army said in its statement.

It said Israel’s attacks aim to thwart all efforts “to reach a solution that would restore stability, establish a comprehensive ceasefire and lead to the Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Lebanese territories.”

The military said that it operates against Hezbollah and not against the Lebanese army.

Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun called the strike “a flagrant violation to Lebanese sovereignty and international law.” He said it came in the context of “ongoing escalation that threatens stability and security in the south (of Lebanon), despite the efforts Lebanon is exerting in the Washington negotiations to put an end to the ongoing Israeli attacks without deterrent.”

The latest ceasefire announced in Washington came about through U.S.-brokered talks between Israel and Lebanon’s government, which accuses Hezbollah of dragging the country into war and had made efforts to disarm it before the latest hostilities. Hezbollah has refused the truce.

Hezbollah is the last resistance to Israel in Lebanon. They are fighting for their survival. 

For years, we were told that Hezbollah were terrorists. Seeing how Isrsel conducts its many "operations", you start to realize the real terrorists were Israelis. This isn't a fair fight to begin with. Hezbollah uses drones and military weapons. Israel has an arsenal that can level cities. 

The U.S. and Israel are the cause of chaos in the Middle East. All for a false god, oil and natural resources. 

They have killed with no ounce of remorse or concern.

On Friday, Aoun and Lebanon’s prime minister criticized Iran for opposing the latest ceasefire deal between the Lebanese government and Israel, saying their country should not be used by Tehran as a “bargaining chip” in its talks with Washington.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded in a post on X on Saturday by saying that after Aoun’s comments, “one would think it’s Iran that has occupied a fifth of Lebanon, displaced a quarter of Lebanese and is bombing his country on daily basis.”

“Had Lebanon been a bargaining chip for Iran, we’d have a deal long ago. Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President,” Araghchi said in reference to Israel.

The war began on March 2, when Hezbollah fired rockets at northern Israel, two days after Israel and the U.S. began their attacks on Iran. Israel has since launched a ground invasion of Lebanon and carried out wide attacks that have displaced more than 1 million people.

Israeli troops have seized around a fifth of Lebanon, pushing further into the country’s south than at any time since the end of Israel’s 1982-2000 occupation. More than 3,500 people have been killed in Lebanon since the war began. The fighting has killed at least 29 Israeli soldiers and three civilians.

Over Broken Glass....

Graham Platner has to fight oligarchs, the establishment and Israel. 

Democratic candidate Graham Platner is angry. Rightfully so.

He wants to focus on issues that affect people in Maine. But here we are talking about some issue facing him and his personal life. Last month it was the allegations of cheating through a social media app. Now it is about a few ex-girlfriends who said he was either a lousy guy or a great partner.

What is not being discussed is the jobs report.

The cost of living.

The price of gasoline.

These corporations are raking in massive profits despite Americans tightening their wallets.

The price of groceries are still high.

The cost of housing is unbearable.

The President of the United States is getting richer. President Donald J. Trump turns 80 years old on June 14. He has amassed nearly $4 billion since returning to the White House.

What does this mean for you when you are working twice as hard and still not making enough to pay the bills?

What does it mean when you are online worrying about a flawed human being over your choice of a geriatric politician who retains power through corporate donors, a foreign country and her word that she will change the next go around?

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is as MAGA as Trump. She claims to be an independent conservative with this notion she works across the aisle. A fascist is still a fascist.

She is over 70 years old and completely out of touch with reality.

Platner is an asshole. Yeah, I said it. He had a tattoo some saw as a Nazi emboldem. He covered it up. He apologized and said he doesn't harbor those views. He wrote shit on social media about how radical he is and how he wrote dark humor. Okay, we read it and saw how tasteless the shit is. He claimed he was an asshole and had beliefs that he regrets. All right, it's over,

Okay, we move on.

He said he does not want our troops to die for Israel. Now here comes the allegations and accusations against him.

The New York Times released a bombshell report about *gasp* Platner's former relationships. 

Count on your fingers how many Republicans and Democrats had affairs. I can assure you there's dozens. I mean seriously, this is a low bar.

Trump has set a standard. A flawed man can still win.

Platner is not Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA). To be quite honest, Platner despises Fetterman and thinks of him as a performative scam artist. 

Abdul El-Sayed who running for the Senate in Michigan also believes that Fetterman and Sen. Chuck Schumer represents the out of touch politics that led Democrats to defeat in 2024. They endorsed one another despite their differences.

A New York Times report detailed allegations from multiple former girlfriends describing him as volatile and insulting during a past "dark period" fueled by undiagnosed PTSD and alcohol abuse. One partner alleged an instance of physical intimidation. Platner denied being physically threatening but took responsibility for past relationship failure.

Platner had to explain all of this. He had to sit aside his talks about how he can improves lives if he was elected to discuss a woman who likely voted for Trump but decided to derail momentum because she doesn't like his stances on issues.

Fair game.

But if you care about that shit while you are paying $70 dollars to fill up a mid size car or $156 for a bigger ride, you priorities on other shit.

Lyndsey Fifield, the ex-girlfriend of Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, accused The New York Times of betraying her in a stunning Friday morning statement.
