The end is near for these elitist events. Americans are getting tired of the rich and powerful partying while they work their asses off.
Every year, the Manhattan Metropolitan Museum Of Art has this elitist event where celebrities, politicians and influncers come to donate annually to fund the museum.
It is like a costume ball for the elite.
New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife will not attend the event.
The Gala is held annually on the first Monday of May, which marks the opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit hosted on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Many of the attendees are depicted on the covers and pages of Vogue. Each year's event celebrates the specific theme of that year's Costume Institute exhibition, which sets the tone for the formal attire of the night.
Guests are expected to curate their fashions to match the theme of the annual exhibit, generally in haute couture. Fashion executive Anna Wintour, who was the editor-in-chief of Vogue, has chaired or co-chaired the Met Gala since 1995, except for the 1996 Met Gala, which was chaired by Wintour's successor at British Vogue, Liz Tilberis, who attended with her friend Diana, Princess of Wales.
Over time, the Met Gala has evolved beyond the New York fashion epicenter to become increasingly global and diverse in its perspective and scope.
The entry price for one ticket to attend the Met Gala rose to US$100,000 in 2026, up from $75,000 in 2025, which in turn had reflected an increase from $50,000 in 2023, to attend the annual gala in New York City.
In 2023, software company Launchmetrics found that the Met Gala generated nearly double the "media impact value" (the monetary value of publicity generated) for brands than the Super Bowl, at $995 million. In 2024, the Met Gala's figure rose to $1.4 billion.
Notwithstanding the historical dominance of American and Western European fashion designers represented, the Met Gala continues to evolve into a more international platform, with progressively increasing representation of celebrities and designers from outside the Western Hemisphere.
Elected amid growing public anxiety over income inequality, Mamdani announced he will skip the A-list gathering. "My focus is also on affordability and making the most expensive city in the United States affordable, and that's what I'm looking to spend a lot of my time focused on," he told news site Hell Gate last month.
Then there is the matter of the evening's sponsors. While fashion brands or tech behemoths like Instagram typically underwrite the affair, this year Amazon co-founder and executive chair, Jeff Bezos, and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, are the event's main benefactors. They are also honorary chairs. (Co-chairs Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Vogue's Anna Wintour remain the official hosts, while Saint Laurent is sponsoring the exhibition catalog.)
After the Met announced the Bezoses' participation, many social media users - who are the Met Gala's most enthusiastic promoters, tuning into Vogue's livestream and analyzing looks for days afterwards - called for a boycott. This has materialized as actual protests from groups including Everyone Hates Elon (as in Musk), which over the past few weeks has papered New York City with posters also urging a boycott. "The Bezos Met Gala: Brought to you by worker exploitation," reads one, in reference to the allegations of labor violations that have long swirled around Amazon's e-commerce business.
The recurring criticism has not stopped the gala from raising enormous funds: last year, it brought in a record $31 million. (By contrast, the New York Philharmonic's Opening Gala raised $3.3 million in 2025.)
Max Hollein, the museum's director and chief executive officer, said he saw the Met Gala as part of "the history of American philanthropy," where people across the political spectrum support culture and other causes. "Right now, maybe there's an added layer of scrutiny, an added layer of attention to that," he said. "But we will always be grateful for that support from various different sources."
The Met Gala is the primary fundraiser for the Met's Costume Institute, which houses over 33,000 objects spanning seven centuries. (It is oft-repeated that the Costume Institute is the only museum department that raises its own funds, although that is not accurate; every department receives money from the museum's overall operational budget, and supplements that with fundraising.)
The gala's funds support acquisitions of garments and accessories, but also the institute's reference library, which holds over 800 periodicals and 1,500 designer files pertaining to the history of fashion and clothing, dating back to the sixteenth century. The funds also support a conservation lab and storage space, as well as the Costume Institute's gallery spaces, including the 4,300-square-foot Anna Wintour Costume Center and the brand-new nearly 12,000-square-foot Condé M. Nast Galleries. Salaries for its 29-person staff also come from gala funds. The new galleries, located just off the museum's Great Hall, will allow the Costume Institute's exhibitions to remain open for much longer, increasing the reach and scope of the department's shows.
"It is one of the greatest collections of fashion, of costumes," Hollein said. Preservation and storage are "more challenging, more expensive" than for drawings or paintings, he said. "I think it's really important for people to understand, when we talk about the Met Gala, the money really goes into preserving this collection."
It is the presence of bold-faced names and the sheer amounts of money surrounding the event that seem to court the most controversy. Over the past two decades, Wintour has helped transform the party from an archetypal charity benefit into a celebrity-fueled phenomenon - an effort that has led to bigger and bigger ambitions for the museum, alongside ever-increasing ticket prices for gala attendees. Individual tickets are priced at $100,000 for 2026, while a table sells for $350,000, and guests must be invited by the museum to buy tickets.
The perception that the event is tone-deaf means that critics are eager to pounce and cry hypocrisy when, say, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wears a dress that reads "Tax the Rich" (as she did in 2021). Last year, Kennedy heir (and former Met Gala attendee) Jack Schlossberg, who is now mounting a congressional campaign in Manhattan, called for a boycott of the event in an Instagram post, citing "so much happening around the world and at home." (The post has since been deleted.)
For most, it is not the museum that warrants criticism, but the involvement of the Bezoses. On the morning of the gala, a group of organizations including the Service Employees International Union, the Strategic Organizing Center and the Amazon Labor Union will stage a Ball Without Billionaires, a fashion show in downtown New York in which workers from businesses including Amazon, Whole Foods and The Washington Post (all linked to Bezos) as well as Starbucks and Uber will serve as models, wearing clothes by ethically-minded designers.
"If there is that money to sponsor this gala, there should also be money to pay the workers fairly," said Cindy Castro, a New York-based designer who immigrated to the US from Ecuador, and whose pieces will appear at Monday's event.
"I want to raise awareness about our safety issues that we're having in the Amazon warehouses," said April Watson, an employee at an Amazon Warehouse in northeast Georgia who will model in Monday's show. She said that she and her fellow workers are pressured to pick and pack at faster and faster rates, receiving warnings that can lead to termination when their pace falls in the bottom 5%. "When I try to work fast with very heavy items, it's easy for me to do too much, and it has led me to be injured."
These morons can fly in space, own superyachts, buy private islands and then layoff the people who got them there.
She continued, "I want to do what I can to help there be systemic change that would make the warehouse safer for employees like myself."
In a statement to CNN, an Amazon spokesperson said of their warehouse worker expectations, "Safety is our top priority and at the core of everything we do. Amazon does not have fixed quotas at our facilities. Instead, we assess performance based on safe and achievable expectations and take into account time and tenure, peer performance, and adherence to safe work practices."
This is not Bezos's first time as the Met Gala's honorary chair. In 2012, Amazon sponsored the gala and the tech titan held the honorific, posing with the likes of Wintour, Miuccia Prada and Carey Mulligan.
While Watson was not working at Amazon then (she joined the company in 2021), she said, "My perception of him was different."
Back then, Bezos was worth an estimated $18.4 billion, according to Forbes, which made him the 26th richest person in the world. Now, he's worth an estimated $224 billion, and ranks fourth.
These days, Watson said, "Jeff Bezos seems almost like royalty. He is so wealthy, and I know that he is the one that started Amazon - he's very creative, and he's a good organizer. He built it. And now I feel like he's celebrating his success and just not interested in us who are at this bottom tier."
The Bezoses' recent high-profile outings - including a splashy wedding in Venice and a series of appearances at Paris Couture Week in January - have also made the gap between their lifestyle and that of most others more apparent. That has made them a more visible target, too.
And yet, without their support, this year's Met Gala - and its promotion of fashion as an art form, and of the notion that celebrities can craft a narrative through clothing that entertains us or even helps us better understand our world - may have been more modest in scale.
"What is important is that you need to evaluate the integrity of the institution, the profoundness of our program, and the proper use that is being applied for these funds," said Hollein.
What the Bezoses are providing funds for, he said, are the museum and Costume Institute's ethos and initiatives, not a donor's personal agenda. "This is not a show on Amazon. This is not a show on Lauren Sánchez's dresses. One needs to be really clear that what our donors are supporting is the program of the Met, and the ideas of our curators, and the integrity of the institution," he said. "And they don't want to have it any other way. That's exactly the donors that we want, and those are the donors that museums like ours need to have."
Wintour told CNN in late 2025 that Sánchez Bezos would be "a wonderful asset to the museum and the event," calling her a "great lover of costume and obviously of fashion."
Indeed, it is because of the Costume Institute and Met Gala that so many see fashion as they do today. Hollstein pointed to last year's show on Black dandyism, for example, or this year's, which will highlight "not only the dialogue between different arts about the dressed body, but different body types."
A museum, after all, is not a donors' playground, but a place for the world to access art.
"I always wanted to see the Met museum. I love art," Watson said. "Museums in general allow ordinary people - anyone - to come in and see, face to face, these priceless pieces of art."
If Republicans were popular, why would they need to push for Pennsylvania independent senator John Fetterman to join them?
Pennsylvania U.S. House Democrats refuse to endorse his reelection bid, many progressives are courting candidates to run a primary challenge against him. Fetterman seems to be more like a one and done like Kyrsten Sinema.
Fetterman has mental health issues such as depression. He also survived a mild stroke. He even has marital problems with Gisele Fetterman.
Elected as a Democrat but switched to be an independent, Fetterman has been the most controversial figure in the Democratic Caucus. He along with Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan have pissed off progressives.
They are the members of the tone deaf caucus.
Jonathan Martin of The Politico have reported that President Donald J. Trump and Sen. Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania have been pressuring Fetterman to flip if the Democrats do win back the Senate.
They are concerned about Maine, Georgia, Iowa and Ohio being lost.
Fetterman for the moment said he will not join the Republican Party.
“I’m [a Democrat] and I’m staying one,” added the senior senator from the Keystone State.
He is angered by the Democrats opposing Israel and not working on compromises with the president. Fetterman went as far to say the party is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Fetterman has appeared on Fox, Newsmax, NewsNation and talk radio, all cock suckers to the president.
Abdul El-Sayed, Julia Stratton, Graham Platner and Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia vowed to not be Fetterman. Other than Ossoff, the three others said they vehemently oppose Schumer as the Democratic leader.
The political chameleon.
Fetterman shares a friendship with Republican controversial figures like McCormick and Katie Britt of Alabama.
During an interview with Fox News last Wednesday, Fetterman dismissed the idea of crossing the aisle.
“My voting record actually reflects that I am a Democrat. You know, what’s changed me with many of my other colleagues is that I don’t agree and I use like extreme rhetoric and say, but I support what I think most Americans should agree with these things. You know, the Democratic Party, you know, we became an open border party, without a doubt. And now that’s wrong, and I support to make our border more security, and deport all of the criminals right now,” he said. “So I can’t be a Republican because in many other areas, I disagree on that. So whether if I’m politically homeless or whatever, but I’m staying in my party.”
Despite the feuds with several Democrats, Fetterman said he will be cordial at best.
“Well, I mean, cordial,” replied Fetterman once he gathered himself. “But I’m not necessarily the popular guy, which is strange to me because it’s like, I am a Democrat and, you know, I’m the guy that flipped the seat.”
Pennsylvania y'all voted for this.
We are reminded that Fetterman had won running as a progressive. Despite the very fact that Black people warned Pennsylvania voters that he was problematic.
Fetterman had a mild stroke and did not have health insurance at the time. Guess who paid for it? The Israeli lobby. So now he became one of the loudest voices supporting the apartheid ethnostate of Israel. Many progressives also took issue with him defending President Donald J. Trump and the Republican concerns about gridlock.
There are rumors that Fetterman and Gisele are heading to divorce. I don't want to make speculations but I bet his ass was arguing with her. He has a known temper.
After all he chased a Black jogger with a shotgun when he was then town mayor of Braddock.
A sign of a stroke.
Notes: F.A.S.T.
Face, arms, speech and time. These are the signs of a stroke.
Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech. Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.
The United States is founded on white supremacy, colonialism, criminality, ignorance and deprivation. White men running the United States are destroying it. Their greed, insecurities and failure to adapt to change will doom us all.
Conservatives are the reasons why slavery existed, genocides happened and war crimes are committed.
Republicans rally in the south to redistrict out all the Black and Latino districts after the U.S. Supreme Court rule the decision moot. The decision all but voids the Voting Acts Right of 1965. That landmark legislation is gone.
Republicans want to preserve their weak majority.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former supporter of the president said all of this will backfire.
For once, she is right.
If their ideas were popular, why would they want to do something that will affect them come election time?
The Republicans have a job approval of 23%. Democrats have a job approval of 25%.
President Donald J. Trump has a job approval of 31%. Vice President JD Vance has a job approval of 34%.
Congress has a job approval of 15%.
The Supreme Court has a job approval of 26%.
The John Roberts Court is ranked among the worst. It falls in the infamous Roger Taney Court.
Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas are pushing through their mid-session redistricting. With gas prices at an average of $4.59⁹, inflation at record levels, a war with Iran that is backfiring, anger with politicians taking vacations while the working class struggle, food prices surging, the basic necessities are depleting and world leaders are abandoning the U.S. dollar.
What are you to do?
Take away more freedoms and rig the system.
Republican governors in Alabama and Tennessee have summoned lawmakers into special sessions this week seeking new congressional districts after the U.S. Supreme Court weakened a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Republican Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has called legislators back to Montgomery starting Monday to approve contingency plans for special primary elections in hopes that the Supreme Court will allow the state to switch congressional maps ahead of the November midterms. It’s a move that Republicans legislative leaders said would “give our state a fighting chance to send seven Republican members to Congress.” The seven-member delegation currently has two Democrats.
In Tennessee, Republican Gov. Bill Lee also announced a special session starting Tuesday for the GOP-controlled Legislature to break up the state’s one Democratic-held House district, centered on the majority-Black city of Memphis.
The Supreme Court decision striking down a majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana said the drawing of the district map relied too much on race. The ruling began reverberating through statehouses across the South as Republicans eyed the possibility of getting new lines in place for the 2026 midterm elections, or at least 2028.
Trump encouraged the latest round of redistricting in a post on social media on Sunday, saying his party could gain 20 seats in the House.
“We should demand that State Legislatures do what the Supreme Court says must be done,” Trump said. “That is more important than administrative convenience.”
Florida approved new districts the day of the Supreme Court ruling, and Louisiana moved quickly to postpone its May 16 congressional primary, drawing lawsuits from Democrats and civil rights groups. The state’s Republican leadership started planning for a redraw that could eliminate one or both of its congressional districts now represented by a Black lawmaker. South Carolina’s governor suggested his state might also reconsider its congressional map.

South Carolina’s governor suggested his state might also reconsider its congressional map.
Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Georgia Democrat, described the court decision and the redistricting scramble as an attempt to roll back the Civil Rights Movement.
“They said we’re going to allow partisan politicians to gerrymander you, so that even when you show up, your voice won’t have as much impact because we’ll play with the lines,” he said Sunday from the pulpit at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. once served as pastor. “That isn’t a new method. That’s an old method. That’s a Jim Crow method.”
White men leading the U.S. is now seen as problematic.
The Supreme Court ruling boosted an already intense national redistricting battle by providing Republican officials in some states potential new grounds to redraw voting districts.
Federal judges previously ordered Alabama to use a court-selected map with a second district with a substantial number of Black voters. The judges also ordered Alabama to use the new map until after the 2030 Census. Alabama is appealing that decision and is hoping the court, in light of the Louisiana ruling, will let Alabama revert to a 2023 map drawn by state lawmakers.
“As I continue saying, Alabama knows our state, our people and our districts best,” Ivey said.
Tennessee’s move comes after a pressure campaign by Trump and other Republicans to reconfigure the state’s 9th Congressional District. Republicans have always been checkmated by the Voting Rights Act in their desire to spread the district’s Democratic voters around neighboring conservative districts and make it winnable, but the law may no longer be an impediment.
“We owe it to Tennesseans to ensure our congressional districts accurately reflect the will of Tennessee voters,” Lee said Friday. The move was encouraged by Trump, who wrote on social media Thursday that Lee had promised to work hard to give Republicans one extra seat.
The candidate qualifying period in Tennessee ended in March, and the primary election is scheduled for Aug. 6. Democrats noted that in 2022 the state Supreme Court checked additional redistricting because it was too close to an election. They argued that the court is their best hope this time around too.
“We cannot keep doing things like this and calling ourselves a democracy,” Democratic State Sen. Ramesh Akbari said at a news conference outside the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
Alabama Democrats also sharply criticized the decision to try to change the maps ahead of looming elections.
“This special session is a blatant power grab by Republican leadership in Montgomery to eliminate seats held by Black Democrats,” said former Sen. Doug Jones, a Democratic candidate for Alabama governor.
Louisiana has suspended its May 16 congressional primary to allow time for lawmakers to approve new U.S. House districts, though that is being challenged in court.
Trump urged Texas Republicans last year to redraw U.S. House districts to give the party an advantage. Democrats in California responded by doing the same, then other states joined the battle. Lawmakers, commissions or courts have adopted new House districts in eight states.
See Trump gets away with the things these two did.
MAGA influencer caught a case which has him earning a federal sandwich.
Consenting adults having sex whether they're married, having an affair, engaging in a relationship of the opposite sex, engaging in a relationship of the same sex, engaging in a relationship with transgender Americans, engaging in a relationship with adult content creators, engaging in a relationship with prostitutes or escorts is not my business.
Having sex with anyone who intoxicated is a huge risk. Many inebriated people make decisions that cause cognitive issues. If a woman or man is drunk and has sex with a random stranger or the victims is too drunk to make decisions, many see it as sexual assault under the guise of consent. People who engage with drunk people often take a risk of an allegation of sexual abuse, theft or murder.
It is best to allow the drunk person to detoxify by letting them sleep in their filth. Bars and restaurants have the legal obligation to not allow drinks to people inebriated.
Also, if you leave your drink unattended, make sure you throw it away.
Again, heresy not an indictment or conviction.

This one was a notorious troll who echoed the MAGA movement. He thought he could be like Myron Gaines or Andrew Tate.
He is part of the 25% of Black Americans who decided to give this complete moron a second term. Now he gonna learn that his support for President Donald J. Trump was a huge mistake. A total colossal cluster fuck.
And he did it in the most notorious county in Florida.
Polk County, Florida is best known for its aggressive campaign to end human trafficking and prostitution. They set up sting operations and entrapment to lure men, women and procurers. Procurement is basically pimping.
Craig Long, a self proclaimed MAGA influencer was arrested.
MAGA sheriff puts MAGA influncer on blast.
Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd put an illegal immigrant, a Jan. 6 Capitol participant and a social media influencer front and center after a sweeping undercover sting netted 266 arrests tied to prostitution, human trafficking and child predators.
Polk County Sheriff Judd delivered a blunt breakdown Friday of what he called some of the "more outrageous events" uncovered during the multi-agency operation, Polk Around and Find Out.
"We made 266 total arrests," Judd said, adding "about 247 of them were in the human trafficking operation," with suspects collectively racking up "1,028 previous charges" before deputies "added 439 more charges to the repertoire."
Deputies arrested people from 11 states and 18 different countries.
"People that think, ‘Oh, this is low-level and not violent’ — yeah, that’s wrong. It is violent, and it’s dangerous," Judd said.
Among those highlighted was Ryan Yates, of Odessa, Florida, who had previously been convicted in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and later pardoned, Judd said.
"He got away with it with a federal system. But not here," Judd said. "He came here to violate the law. We arrested him."
Judd also singled out Craig Long II, 41, a Tampa-area fitness business owner and a self-proclaimed "MAGA influencer."
Florida has the highest rate of gun violence. But lets focus on vice and safety net.
On X, Long describes himself as "MAGA to the core."
"Well, I'm going to give him some content for his social media today. He was a previous felon who straightened up, really, what we want to see in life. Now he's an influencer," Judd said.
Another case involved Uno Garcia, an illegal immigrant from Cuba. Judd said Garcia brought his wife to engage in prostitution.
"So, it’s kind of a family affair," Judd said.
Shannon Brooks of Haines City, Florida, allegedly brought a 7-year-old into a room during a sexual encounter and left the child in a bathroom.
Judd said Brooks told the child, "Don’t answer the mf-ing phone. This is the kind of parenting that we want? Come on, man. What are you doing?"
In another case, Derek Partita, 37, left a 10-year-old child in a car while attempting to meet a prostitute.
"This is a very sad situation," Judd said.
Judd also pointed to J.R. Jackman, 27, who he said had a high-level military security clearance.
"Don’t you feel comfortable knowing a guy with top security clearance is coming to meet a prostitute?" Judd said.
The cookout doesn't like his barbecue.
Another suspect, Salvador Villarel, a county utilities employee, allegedly arrived in a government vehicle.
Authorities said 247 of the arrests were for prostitution-related offenses, while 19 involved suspects accused of attempting to meet minors for sex. They added that 34 of those arrested were in the U.S. illegally.
The operation involved federal, state and local agencies and is part of ongoing efforts to target both buyers and facilitators in prostitution networks, officials said. Cases remain pending.
This is fucking ridiculous. Regards of thr politics, I despise the law enforcement putting theses individuals faces out there like they're trophies. The economy sucks so much some have no fucking choice but to go into the business.
Like who gives a fuck about what two consenting adults do! Now if the victims are children or being threatened with violence in the course of engagement, we got problems.
But damn, let people do their business and move on. Gun violence is the biggest threat to the country. Not sexual engagement.
All the suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
It may be the end of the road for the disgraced former New York City mayor, Republican Rudolph Giuliani. The guy who got into office during the Sept. 11 tragedy turned into a far right conspiracy theorist devoted to election denialism is in the hospital in critical condition.
The former mayor still owes two former Georgia poll workers and if he dies, his assets are still up for grabs.
Rudy Giuliani, 81, is in critical but stable condition at a hospital, his spokesman said Sunday.
Spokesman Ted Goodman didn’t say what sent the 81-year-old to the hospital or how long he’s been there.
“Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak,” Goodman said in a statement on social media. He said Giuliani “remains in critical but stable condition.”
Giuliani hosted his online show, “America’s Mayor Live,” Friday night from Palm Beach, Florida.
As he opened the show, he coughed and his voice sounded more raspy than usual. He remarked: “My voice is a little under the weather, so I won’t be able to speak as loudly as I usually do, but I’ll get closer to the microphone.”
Rudy Giuliani is America's grease pit.
Giuliani was dubbed “America’s mayor” in light of his leadership in New York after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.
He later became Trump’s personal attorney for a time and a vocal proponent of Trump’s allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, won by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump and his backers lost dozens of lawsuits claiming fraud, and numerous recounts, reviews and audits of the election results turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error.
“Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition,” Trump wrote Sunday on his social media platform. “What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!”
Two former Georgia elections workers later won a $148 million defamation judgment against Giuliani. As they sought to collect the judgment, the former federal prosecutor was found in contempt of court and faced a trial this winter over the ownership of some of his assets. He ultimately struck a deal that let him keep his homes and various belongings, including prized World Series rings, in exchange for unspecified compensation and a promise to stop speaking ill of the ex-election workers.
Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss still getting paid.
Giuliani was hospitalized in September after suffering a fractured vertebra and other injuries in a car crash in New Hampshire.
Giuliani was elected New York’s mayor in 1993 after serving as one of the nation’s highest-profile prosecutors, taking on mobsters and crooked Wall Street traders.
He ran for the U.S. Senate in 2000 but abandoned his race against Hillary Rodham Clinton after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Giuliani has to use a wheelchair after that accident. That is the only thing he may keep.
Any proceeds or profits will go Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
The Daily Wire is shuttering its Nashville branch. It has announced mass layoffs and some are signaling the far right media company is in some trouble.
When Ben Shapiro put his money on support of Israel, it cost him big time. His support for the apartheid genocidal ethnostate has his supporters questioning his loyalty to the United States.
When they filmed a movie in South Carolina, actors JC Kilcoyne and Jonathan Majors were injured when they fell outside a prop windows. The staff did a walkout after The Daily Wire failed to provide safe working conditions and union contractors.
Their feud with Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson exposed a rift within MAGA.
Shapiro's support for the aggression in Iran took the message off of America First.
Like Republicans and conservatives care about the United States.
A round of layoffs is underway at The Daily Wire, Barrett Media has confirmed.
The first reports surfaced on Friday afternoon. Political reporter Cameron Arcand took to social media to share that he was included in the round of layoffs enacted.
“I was impacted by layoffs today at The Daily Wire, so I am looking for opportunities in journalism/communications here in D.C.,” wrote Arcand.
In a statement, The Daily Wire confirmed it was undergoing a round of layoffs.
“Today, The Daily Wire made a difficult decision to restructure the organization, which included layoffs to a number of teams,” a company spokesperson confirmed to Barrett Media. “We are deeply grateful to those impacted. Their contributions were instrumental in building The Daily Wire into what it is today.
“The cuts were largely concentrated at our Nashville production office. As the company has invested in new formats, locations, and production models, our footprint there has evolved. Over the last year, we have added production staff in D.C., the Northeast, and Florida. This step allows us to focus our resources on an ambitious slate of new entertainment projects set to release this year.
“Additionally, we will continue to invest in our editorial team and investigative journalism where we have already added numerous new reporters across the country and established a DC bureau with a seat in the White House briefing room.”
It is unclear how many members of the company’s staff have departed as part of the ongoing exits. This round of layoffs at The Daily Wire follows cuts in March 2025.
This cop wore MAGA behind the badge. Now his actions bring questions about how he conduct police stops. He was involved in police shootings.
Only in the United States.
Police officers are limited in their free speech when on and off duty. They must be impartial and keep their politics at a distance. If they show up to work with political bumper stickers, it could give an impression of bias.
In the village of Forest Park, Illinois, they placed a police officer in the freezer after he conducted a traffic stop and detainment of a motorist off duty. He wore attire that confirmed support for President Donald J. Trump. He was filmed driving his private vehicle outside his jurisdiction.
A woman claims she was forcibly detained by an off-duty Forest Park police officer after a minor crash involving a curb.
The video, which has been widely shared online, shows part of the encounter. The officer has been identified as Lt. Dan Miller.
According to the social media post, the officer was driving an unmarked personal vehicle and cut the woman off in traffic before approaching her with a gun drawn and pulling her from her car.
The woman alleges she was handcuffed without the officer first checking on her condition and says he did not identify himself when asked. The post also claims the incident happened outside the officer’s jurisdiction.
He made so many mistakes.
Authorities have not confirmed those details.
Miller was previously involved in a 2017 on-duty shooting that left an unarmed man dead. The case later led to a lawsuit filed by the man’s family.
In a statement, Forest Park police said they are taking the allegations seriously.
"We are launching an investigation to examine what happened, and the results will be shared with the public and news media," the department said.
The officer has been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.
It remains unclear where the incident took place.
FOX Chicago has reached out to the woman involved and is awaiting a response.
It took over a year but The Onion Media Group has finally taken control of InfoWars, the far right conspiracy website hosted by disgraced conservative agitator Alex Jones.
The company officially went dark on Thursday and in his last bastardization, he promises to return to the media soon.
Jones lost a major civil case involving his constant peddling of bullshit. He made remarks about the victims of the Sandy Hook school in Newtown, Connecticut. He claimed that it was a false flag and the survivors are crisis actors.
The families sued Jones and InfoWars for $950 million. The decision along with his divorce from former wife Kelly has literally broke him.
The Onion’s plan to take over the Infowars platforms that Alex Jones built into a bullhorn of conspiracy theories and turn them into parody sites was in limbo again Thursday, after a Texas court paused a proposed deal involving the satirical news outlet.
Austin-based Infowars is facing liquidation because of the more than $1 billion in defamation lawsuit judgments Jones owes relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting for calling the Connecticut massacre a hoax. The proposed licensing deal would give The Onion temporary authority to use Infowars’ trademarks, copyrights and intellectual property while a state receiver in Texas works toward liquidation.
A state judge in Austin had scheduled a hearing Thursday on whether to approve The Onion deal with the receiver. But the proceeding fizzled into a status conference because the Texas Third Court of Appeals late Wednesday approved an emergency motion by Jones’ lawyers that temporarily blocked the transfer of any Infowars assets. The judge set another hearing for May 28.
Lawyers for the Sandy Hook families had asked the Texas Supreme Court to overturn the appeals court ruling, but the high court did not issue a decision before Thursday’s hearing.
I will be back. And when he does come back, he will still be owning the victims of Sandy Hook.
“This newly insane, unprecedented legal stalling does nothing but delay our deal with the receiver to take control of InfoWars,” Ben Collins, The Onion’s CEO, said in a social media post ahead of the hearing. “We now expect new traps in Alex Jones’ amoral war to deny paying the Sandy Hook families, but we’re freshly surprised by the U.S. legal system’s appetite to put up with it.”
The Onion already has been selling Infowars merchandise on its own website, including T-shirts and tote bags with an Infowars logo that replaces the “o” with its trademark onion image. It wants to turn the Infowars platforms into comedy sites that would include spoofing Jones, conspiracy theories and right-wing talking points, while giving revenue to the Sandy Hook victims’ relatives.
Jones declared victory in videos posted on his social media sites after the appellate court ruling. He called The Onion’s plan illegal, citing pending appeals and his continuing personal bankruptcy case.
“I said days ago there’s no way the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Texas doesn’t overturn this — you know they’re all Democrats — because it’s so outrageous what you’ve done,” Jones said.
After Thursday’s hearing, Mark Bankston, a lawyer for some of the Sandy Hook victims’ relatives, accused Jones of delaying the liquidation of Infowars numerous times with court filings.
“As far as the world is concerned, Infowars is dead. Everybody knows that,” he said. “He’s trying to keep the bloated corpse of a media organization alive. It’s all a joke. Everybody knows where this is going.”
It’s not the first time The Onion has hit a legal setback in plans to take over Infowars.
In November 2024, the Chicago-based satirical outlet was named the winner of a bankruptcy court auction of the assets of Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, aimed at helping pay some of the defamation judgments. But a federal judge overturned the auction results, citing problems with process and The Onion’s bid.
Jones said on his show this week that he has a new studio nearing completion. He already has set up a new phone app and websites, including one that sells the dietary supplements, clothing and other merchandise he hawks on his shows. And his personal X account, where he posts videos of his shows and has 4.5 million followers, is not affected by any of the court cases.
On Thursday night, Jones toasted to his crew and viewers during a livestream on X as a clock ticked down to when he said his final moments in the building would hit.
“We’re not here anymore because they’re turning the power off at midnight,” he said.
This week, FAT Brands announced they are shuttering all Smokey Bones locations in the United States. The BBQ causal restaurant closed all the 130 locations.
Its franchise headquarters are in Beverly Hills, California. In January 2026, Smokey Bones had 31 restaurants in 15 Eastern states.nUnder its previous owner, Smokey Bones had as many as 128 restaurants across most of the United States. On April 28, 2026 Twin Hospitality closed all of its remaining Smokey Bones restaurants.
The closures come only months after Twin Hospitality Group, the FAT Brands subsidiary that operates Smokey Bones and the restaurant chain Twin Peaks, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Twin Hospitality announced in a January press release that both brands were expected to “remain open and operating as usual” during the proceedings, but later language in the same release failed to mention future plans for Smokey Bones.
“Twin Peaks has redefined the sports bar experience and built an iconic and highly profitable business,” Andy Wiederhorn, the CEO of Twin Hospitality, said at the time. “We are confident that the brand remains positioned for meaningful global expansion in the years to come.”
Smokey Bones once had nearly 130 locations across the United States, but ended up slimming down to just 73 sometime in 2007, Tasting Table reported. At the time of its acquisition by FAT Brands in 2023, there were 61 left across 16 states.
Earlier Wednesday, the Smokey Bones website indicated there were 20 restaurants still in operation at the time of the closures, across eight states: Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia.
Donald J. Trump will be synonymous with James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Pierce and James Garfield. Richard Nixon was better despite his corruption.
Civil War is a coming.
World War III is here.
Now I want the U.S., capitalism, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, David Ellison, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Republicans, Zionsism, Israel, weak ass Democrats, the Supreme Court and the whole definition of white supremacy to fail.
When they start fucking with the money, nine times out of ten, you don't give a fuck.
They could die and I wouldn't give two fucks.
The Supreme Court's recent ruling voids key impacts of the Voting Rights Act. The decision which pushed for equal voting rights has been diluted to a word.
Republicans will now have an opportunity to retain power despite their unpopular policies. It never stops. They will never learn.
Project 2025 is in full effect.
The government is spending $1.33 for every dollar it collects in revenue, and the budget deficit this year is projected at $1.9 trillion. That is little changed from 2025 as Republicans’ tax cuts kick in before their spending cuts take effect. The final tally will depend on Iran war spending, tariff refunds and the strength of the economy.
Grover Cleveland 2.0.
Who is getting hit by the economic uncertainty?
Blacks, Native Americans and Pacific Islanders Americans.
Who is benefiting from this?
White men.
Who could have stopped this?
You the voter.
Who deserves the blame?
Joe Biden.
He never listened to the base. He wanted to save the soul of the nation. He allowed his stupid Catholic faith and this belief that Israel cannot do wrong ruin the party. The wait and see approach and work across the aisle isn't working.
The Democrats have more smoke for the left. They allow Republicans to roll them over.
Every bill passed since Bill Clinton is a watered down. Republicans go big and stay big.
Democrats care about the optics. They elect white moderates who end up being Republicans anyway.
People of color are often ranked as threats when they run cities, states and federal government.
The supporters of former vice president Kamala Harris are playing on this "We tried to warn you" nonsense. How can you morally stand on principles of being a progressive and back Israel?
First and foremost, Americans have a right to vote for whomever they chose.
Second, Harris failed to win over voters. She stuck with former president Joe Biden on the economy, Israel, Ukraine, immigration and inflation. The former president failed to listen to voters and his base.
The former president gave unilateral support and cover. We knew Trump would be worse. We demanded that Biden put pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel to stop killing and invading other countries.
The social media influencers who backed Harris ignored the progressive base and the calls for a ceasefire. They ignored the concerns about banning TikTok and calling everyone who opposes Israel a terrorist. They literally were on the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" mantra.
That shows the "tone deafness" within the party.
It is not Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) fault for Biden and Harris' missteps. She warned them that Arab Americans did not like being ignored.
30% of Biden's 2020 base were disappointed with his stances on Israel. His iron clad support for that apartheid ethnostate harmed his reelection bid and hurt Harris when she took over after he dropped out. Somehow his stupid Catholic faith led him down this road to destruction. Not to mention the nearly $234 million in AIPAC funding.
Democratic establishment influncers are practically on these platforms saying that they ain't helping the former Biden/Harris voters who voted for as Trump.
That's perfectly fine.
It makes progressives more independent and it declines support for Democratic candidates.
MAGAland politicians are going crazy. They belive the No Kings protesters are not genuine. The protests are growing and it appears to be more inclined to white grievances about Trump not delivering on lowering the costs of living.
I voted for Harris for president. I have told family members that Israel will be a major factor. Trump's near assassination was a big factor. His mugshot too. He tapped into the grievances of the American people.
Democrats wasted too much time scaring voters. I get it. Trump is an essential threat to the country. I posted on this blog numerous times about it. But I also said that Biden's support for Israel and not focusing on the economy could hurt him come 2024.
White men cannot get the U.S. back on the right track. We seen how Trump and Biden led us into endless chaos within their terms. Trump has become the first 21st Century president to never achieve 50% in positive successes. Yet, we reelected him for a second term despite the dangers he posed in his first chaotic term.
White nationalism exists mostly in the Republican Party. But the party is making inroads with Black, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, Muslim and young voters. Republicans are pitching nationalism and often scapegoating to appeal to these groups.
Democrats are not far off. They are bleeding support because of their so called identity politics. We are screaming racism and antisemitism at the progressive base when the base is trying to encourage the party to change economic direction.
In 2026, we will have candidates running for some form of political office. Several of these candidates will be running as Democrats. Some are flawed people. The Democrats continue to push out candidates that are against the status quo. They are still committed to elected members who are old, supportive of Israel, willing to be bipartisan and willing to embrace conservative policies to stay in office.
It's that type of things that keeps Democrats in the minority.
About NED.
Neverending Distractions.
Words are just words.
Actions have consequences.
Joe Biden had speed bumps like Kyrsten Sinema, Joe Manchin and John Fetterman. Had he directly confronted them or pressured for primary challengers who supported his agenda, we wouldn't be in the messes we're in. Let me correct that.
Had he had more candidates that were progressive, we could have pressured Biden to do more to bring Democrats out to vote.
We had to play nice.
The Democrats recent votes will depress turnout.
While being diverse in ideas, the Democratic Party is far from progressive. These three entities in the Senate as well as Democrats in House districts Trump won in 2024 are placing the party in the centrist/conservative category.
The Democrats will have to build a different ground game now that President Donald J. Trump will get to appoint up to three new Supreme Court nominees again.
No more mocking the white angry voters. No more taking advantage of the non college educated voter. Democrats need to get into the business of troll farming, disinformation, grievance politics and less about identity politics.
No more idol worshiping. The Republicans worship Trump.
The Republicans worship greed, hate, getting in people's businesses and sexual predatory behavior. If a Democrat has a sex scandal that doesn't involve legal ramifications, fucking ignore the allegations. I am serious. If there is no criminal conviction, it's an allegation.
Ignore the calls to leave but clearly state why you carry baggage. Because if you care about changing the city, district or state you want to represent, your personal problems cannot outweigh the actual problems constituents face.
The Republicans are moving towards fascism while the Democrats are moving towards conservatism.
Is it possible for a new political party?
Yes.
The two party system is wearing thin. Republicans have a favorably of 34%. The Democrats have a favorably of 32%.
Both parties are not doing enough to solve America's problems.
If progressives need to divorce the Democrats, the time is now. I am not voting for the status quo.
I am going to vote for a candidate that focuses on issues that impact the growth of this flawed nation. Not distractions or words. Words do not pay the rent. They do not feed the families. They do not pay my bills. Words do not control the movement of policies.
No more slogans.
It's noise.
Folks, the Democrats must end the rules of engagement. They need to kick out the filth.
End their support of Israel, stop pandering to win votes, embrace embarrassments and stop trying to be friends with MAGAland.
Blue MAGA is a threat too. Because they are too cozy with religion, apartheid, income inequality and racism.
The Democratic Party is now conservative while the Republican Party is now fascist.
Dalton Levi Eatherly, you and Romeo Rose will be part of my take on Valentine's Day.
So gas prices are over $5 a gallon.
The Supreme Court has now become a joke.
President Donald J. Trump embarrassed the United States while hosting King Charles III on his first state visit as the most unpopular monarch of modern times.
The suspect who tried to assassinate Trump did not shot at people. The U.S. Secret Service got caught in some friendly fire.
Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth play the role of Fox News personality when he was grilled by Congress.
Oh, there is an image of far right troll Chud The Builder dressed as fairy. It is the latest of embarrassing things that Dalton's facing.
Kick, the latest stream where he wants to rile up Black people around Tennessee blocked him for a long period.
Chud The Builder is the Romeo Rose of Clarksville, Tennessee.
You will spot him around metro Nashville harassing Black people for click bait. Still saying racial slurs. Promoting Islamophobia and antisemitism. Still promoting his failed projects.
Not allowed to own firearms.
Required parental supervision when seeing his child.
Embarrassing his family.
All for free speech.
Wanting a Black person to harm him so he can collect a coin. His devotion to Karenism is a money making strategy. Not the smartest, but I get it. He desperately trying to point out double standards. He wants to be free to say racial slurs and intimidate people.
While he is free to speak, his relentless harassing and threats of violence are not smart strategy.
Paying over $5.75⁹ for diesel in his huge truck is hurting him. He also is struggling to pay his bills. Cause nothing screams struggle than asking for GiveSendGo requests.
Back story.
In 2022, he was filmed in a road rage incident between a Black woman and a teenager.
He was screaming racial slurs and threatening to shoot the woman driving. They filmed it and the Clarksville Police would arrest him. He ended up going to county lock up and losing his job.
He tried to become an independent contractor but they said uncertified. He could not do his job without certification. He blames the viral video for his demise.
So he develops this anger towards the Black community for stopping free speech. Now he develops the Chud The Builder persona. His rise to infamy was his interaction with a Kroger employee and his friend over a parking space.
Now he has been banned from numerous facilities in Clarksville. The police warned him that if continues to harass residents, he will get a longer stay in county lockup.
I am going to say this to those who are trying to deal with a second chaotic Trump presidency. Let these motherfuckers cook in their own filth. Don't shed tears or send sympathy towards them if divine intervention happens.
As long as these people never put their hands on me, I am going to continue to go about my day while they are burning themselves out. Because he may even have a few supporters riding his bullshit, but at the end of the day, he will struggle like the rest of us.
He will have a medical emergency or a catastrophic event that impacts him or his family.
Dalton Eatherly, for all the racial slurs, the MAGAland, the gaslighting and signs of autistic behavior, you are perfectly entitled to speaking your opinions. I am not a doctor but you show signs of asperger's syndrome.
You can freely walk around Tennessee with your firearm trying to be the tough guy.
You can film yourself instigating or sharing a video of Black people showing grievances.
You can make Sora videos to depict Blacks as whatever you want.
At the end of the day, you're a nobody. Just a worthless penny in a bank of coins.
They can be assholes all the want. They are obsessed with Black people.
This dude's mustache makes him look weird.
President Donald J. Trump has not done a damn thing for Black America. In his 2017 to 2021 term and 2025 to present term, all I see is basically a divisive president obsessing over a disgraceful legacy. A president easily manipulated by the elements of white supremacy. Any Black person who embraces his views are entitled to it. But again, don't expect a plate when you decide to crash the cookout.
His policies ain't making my paycheck great. His policies are not certainly making the cost of living decline. His policies only make himself and the elite survive while everyone else is violently turning on one another.
They want us to question the Blackness of Barack Obama, Kamala Harris and Duchess Meghan of Sussex but accept the Blackness of Wesley Hunt, Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, Burgess Owens and John James.
Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, Nicki Minaj, Waka Flocka Flame, Mike Tyson, Nick Cannon, Ray J, Tristan Thompson, Lil Wayne and every Black media personality riding with Trump are still that word to white men who obsess with us.
They want Blacks to embrace conservatism so they can be hateful bigots to other vulnerable people.
I mean rappers, athletes and media personalities who back Trump get praise, television appearances and platforms while the ones who oppose the president are in Laura Ingraham's words: "Shut up and dribble."
Our pain is vilified online. The memes of Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Jonathan Crawford III, Breona Taylor, Sandra Bland, Daunte Wright, Sonya Massey, Kyren Lacy, Jordan Neely, Tyre Nichols, Atatiana Jefferson, Rayshard Brooks, Ahmad Abrury, Jayland Walker and Michael Brown are shared through hateful memes and endless banters about how they deserved it.
Yet, the same folks who thought it's funny mocking their deaths are going full crazy on memes mocking Trump, Charlie Kirk, Benjamin Netanyahu and Stephen Miller.
Miller.
Do you believe these folks are obsessed with Black people?
Remember, their goals is provoke for clicks and revenue. I know its hard to say this but:
We must not feed the trolls.
Because this is what these ghouls want. They want to make Black people angry.
Since Charlie Kirk, Rush Limbaugh, Colin Flaherty, Andrew Breitbart, Roger Ailes, Paul Harvey and Bob Grant are gone, they need fresh voices.
Sean "Softball" Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Michael Reagan, Bill Cunningham, Megyn Kelly, Michael Savage, Joe Pags, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham and Neal Boortz are old farts.
Boomers.
They need young rising faces like Kirk. They need Erika Kirk, Scott Presler, Laura Loomer, Nick Shirley, Tomi Lahren, Riley Gaines, Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Eric Daughetry, Ben Shapiro and Katie Miller. They need to keep the revenue of rage baiting
going.
They can incorporate white supremacy with the daily dose of endless distractions.
We need to start the Great Black American Cookout. A gathering of Black leaders and community activists who want to make it about food, culture and activism. And of course, everyone is invited so we want make sure that conservative agitators can pick up a plate.
Just make sure you don't make it about click bait and divisiveness. Y'all can disagree with the Black community but please keep your noses out the business if you ain't looking for plate.
We need to address voter rights, police reform, health and safety, gun violence, ending racial bias in housing and business loans, disspelling anti-immigration rhetoric, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, ending the perception of Black violence and bringing unity to the Black community.
Okay, again many Black Americans are not offering sympathy for Kirk.
His rhetoric was divisive towards Black people. He said things about Black women which made it nearly impossible for some sympathy.
Like I said, his children will take the most blow. Having their father gone is heartbreaking. But to see Erika Kirk confirm the movement continues show no foot off the gas when it comes to political violence.
Erika makes it very hard for people to even show remorse towards her. She is a widow and now has to raise her children by herself. She might find love in the future, but the shock of losing Charlie in such a way has traumatized her.
AI is so freaking weird and awesome at the same time. Dalton Eatherly, you will be joining Romeo Rose in the February "Surviving Love" series in 2027.
It's no secret that Republicans think very unfavorably of immigrants, Blacks, Muslims, transgender Americans and progressives.
It is no secret that Republicans love to push freedom while in reality act like the big government nannies.
It's free speech.
Sharing images of Black women with children by calling them future thugs. Or White women with children who were born from a father of color. They certainly love calling white women traitors for loving outside their race.
They showed us who they are when they harassed HBCUs in the wake of that white nationalist's death.
They showed us who they are when the Supreme Court rolled back long established rulings, laws and achievements to protect the fragile feelings of white privileged Americans.
What do they want to offer us next?
A bunch of memes depicting Black people posing with firearms, eating chicken, watermelons, peanuts or turkey legs. A mene of Black people drinking a 40oz malt liquor or a grape drink.
Or they want to make memes of bearded men expressing their freedoms to wear a dress, heels or makeup.
They certainly love to attack transgender women for looking way better than the women they try to well.... in Trump’s word "pull up to and grab 'em by the...."
Or a meme where a picture of a turban wearing individual posing with a gun or a depiction of an Arab with the decapitated head of a white person.
Republicans, libertarians and conservatives have always been like this. It was never a closed door or a private chat.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
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.
White men like troll ChaoticHermes have loneliness and disdain for people of color.
The right wing ain't got the smoke for the shooter, his family and the Utah state government allowing open carry on school campuses. They ain't got the smoke for the people who advocate violence against people perceived as threats to society.
They want to go after the vulnerable. Typical of these folks.
All the while, the rich are getting richer. Israel is still committing a genocide and war crimes from every angle. Russia is pushing further in Ukraine with Lithuania and Poland next on the country's agenda. China is becoming the superpower as they are moving on from exporting goods to the United States for other nations.
China is working on solving problems the United States failed at doing.
Food prices are increasing.
We are in endless wars.
General merchandise prices are increasing.
The cost of living is increasing.
Inflation has rising this month.
Unemployment is increasing.
Gasoline prices are increasing.
Wages are stagnant.
Jobs are not satisfying.
Where does the outrage go to?
Random people who don't agree with these folks politics.
Y'all voted for chaos and you got it. Black Americans who didn't vote for President Donald J. Trump are keeping our heads down and not trying to get involved in the noise.
Republicans bank on culture wars as well as divide and conquer. They are worthless even in power. With majorities in Congress, the White House and state governments, they still ruin everything for an imaginary sky deity. They want to push anti-Black policies under guise of Black empowerment through conservatism.
We are not trying to hand the Democrats a free pass either. They need to clean house on Zionists, racists, homophobes and Islamophobes. The Democrats are unpopular too.
Yes, political violence existed before Trump. I mean there were politicial assassinations of presidents, lawmakers and controversial figures. The United States is the most violent country in the world.
You expect nothing less of this country.
FREEDOM!
People are emboldened to carry out violent acts against individuals who spurned them.
This behavior by supporters of Trump is a catalyst to a potential civil war.
Endless chaos.
A decline of power in the United States.

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.
Keep the Black community out of it.
1 in 5 Americans believe violence is the only way to solve political problems. Trust me, it is a coming. There is a reckoning with the status quo thanks to Trump.
