Boosie Blows $600K For Curmudgeon Pardon!

Some dumb shit coming from Boosie again.

Cooning Badazz.

Torence Ivy Hatch, Jr. known as Boosie BadAzz (formerly Lil Boosie) is feeling like an idiot. He put his ass on the line for President Donald J. Trump. I guess he got duped.

Okay, TMZ reports that Boosie was planning on suing the U.S. government and two idiot pranksters after he allegedly paid $600,000 to get the president to consider a pardon for his federal convictions.

His biggest mistake was to trust a notorious online troll and his business partner.

The Baton Rouge native had been ordered to serve 10 days in jail and be under three years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Boosie has an issue with two men whom he believed could secure him a federal pardon from Trump.

The rapper is suing Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, two known lobbyists and far-right political operatives in the MAGA world, for $300,000, alleging they failed to comply with a stipulation in the contract he signed with them. He's demanding a contractual refund months after his lawyer informed him that the duo had secured a pardon from Trump for his federal charges.

According to a lengthy exposé published by NOTUS, Boosie paid Wohl and Burkman $600,000 after he hired them in October 2025, months before his sentencing. The duo, per NOTUS, has claimed they are "effectively bankrupt."

Wohl and Burkman are the same duo who pleaded guilty to an illegal robocall scheme in 2022 in Ohio that targeted primarily Black voters.

The lawsuit is the first known to arise in the new era of pardons under the Trump White House. Under previous administrations, pardons were handled through extensive vetting and a formal Justice Department process before being submitted to the President for final approval. That has mostly eroded with Trump's return, as many have effectively been handled by longtime aides who suggest a name and then give it to Trump.

"Boosie has no reason to be unhappy. In 30 years of lobbying, I doubt we have ever done more work and harder work. The provision in the contract he is referencing was never agreed to at all. The other factor is that Boosie's quest for a pardon was made much tougher by an arrest for an alleged crime of violence in Texas earlier this year. We tried very, very hard," Burkman told TMZ.

Ignorance begets ignorance.

For years, Boosie had been advocating on social media for a pardon, writing in 2024 that he needed one from whoever won the election between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump. After Trump won, Boosie brought up his pardon again, questioning people who were mad at him for asking Trump when he attempted to get VP Harris' attention via Twitter.

Since his return to office, Trump has issued more than 1,700 pardons, most related to those who were tried and convicted of crimes related to the Insurrection attempt on the Capitol on January 6. His most recent batch of pardons came on July 3, and none of those names belonged to the "Set It Off" and "Wipe Me Down" rapper.

In 2023, Boosie was arrested in San Diego, California, and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The case dragged on for two years until January, when he pleaded guilty to the charge and was credited with time served (10 days) along with three years of supervised release.

A recent incident in Houston earlier this year has prosecutors wanting to revoke his previous sentence, as he stands accused of smashing a glass hookah base atop the head of a security guard. During conversations with Wohl and Burkman, the two frequently told the rapper about their connections to Laura Loomer, a longtime Trump ally who has his ear. They also named several individuals in Trump's orbit, including Erika Kirk, other MAGA influencers, Rep. Nancy Mace, Rep. Andy Biggs, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

All either flatly declined to know anything about endorsing the pardon or even knowing Boosie.

"Speaker Johnson's office categorically denied that there was any merit to the claims made by these individuals or any connection between the speaker and these individuals or the parties involved," a spokesperson for the House leader said.

Boosie, despite not receiving clemency, remains hopeful that a pardon application filed directly with the White House would be approved, thereby nullifying the felony conviction on his record.

He lacks self-awareness and doesn't know when to shut his mouth up. The dude is playing in the snow. He allegedly engage in sexually predatory behavior.

Hatch, 43, is a known as either Lil Boosie or Boosie Badazz. He is a Baton Rouge rapper who has a string of underground hits in the early 2000s. He is unabashedly homophobic and pretty ignorant to the changing demographics. He allegedly allowed a woman perform a sex act on underage children. One being a son and the other being their cousin. 

He has been most notorious for staging a square up with a Lil Nas X impersonator.

We Don't Believe You!

A photo doesn't calm concerns.

After weeks of not appearing, somehow the Kentucky senator officially releases a photo of him and his wife. It doesn't calm concerns.

Addison Mitchell McConnell, the 84 year old Kentucky senator and former Republican leader has released a photo which has him and wife, former Trump administration official Elaine Cho.

His press office claimed that he fell and suffered from pneumonia.

But the official 9-1-1 call stated an unconscious man. A photo of a motionless man in an orange blanket feet out. 

For an 84-year-old, a cardiac arrest requiring CPR carries an incredibly low survival rate, which makes the official claim that he merely had a "fall and mild pneumonia" highly questioned by critics. Skeptics argue that his office may be downplaying a much more severe cardiovascular event to avoid pressure regarding his fitness to serve. Conversely, medical experts note it is possible for a severe fall or a brief loss of consciousness to be misreported as cardiac arrest by a panicked bystander making the initial 911 call.

Gov. Andy Beshear gave McConnell a week to make a formal call before he defies the Commonwealth state house and appoint a member of the Democratic Party.

They stripped his appointment powers. He now will go ahead and consider a replacement if McConnell is too ill to do his job.

Beshear has publicly signaled that he is prepared to launch a legal challenge rather than simply yield to the state's Republican-backed Senate succession law. In interviews regarding Senator Mitch McConnell’s extended hospitalization, Beshear stated that if a vacancy occurs, he intends to look at his executive authority to ensure Kentuckians are represented, predicting "at least... probably a disagreement."

Beshear's argument rests on the Kentucky Constitution, which explicitly dictates that the governor appoints all state officers when an unexpired vacancy occurs. He has previously maintained that the Republican supermajority's efforts to strip away this gubernatorial appointment power and force a special election violate both state and federal constitutional provisions (such as the 17th Amendment). 

Darline Graham Nordone Picked!

McMaster picks Lindsey Graham's sister.

If Lindsey Graham had a sister....

Oh he does. The late senator has a sister and she will be appointed the junior senator of South Carolina.

So I was betting on a Pam Evette to be his replacement. Damn, I am wrong.

Well I "did not see" that coming.

Nepotism.

Well Sen-Designate Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) was approved by President Donald J. Trump and Gov. Henry McMaster decided to follow the floorplan.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), now the senior senator and an appointed member from then governor Nikki Haley welcomed the newest member. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Vice President JD Vance will swear her in on Tuesday.

She will serve out the term. She has confirmed she will not seek reelection. That sets up a special primary. If the candidates not reach a threshold of 51%, then a runoff. Then if there is a winner, the nominee proceeds to the general against Democratic nominee Dr. Annie Andrews.

The race is Safe Republican.

That means Reps. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Nancy Mace (R-SC) or Lieutenant Gov. Pam Evette will likely be running for the nomination. I hope it's Mace. She is a fruitcake.

Nordone will be the first woman to represent the state in the Senate.

“It is such an honor,” she said, as dozens of Graham staffers and campaign advisers stood behind her, some with eyes glassy from welling tears. “Lindsey has always been there for me. And now, I will be there for him.”

Graham died on Saturday night at age 71. He never married or had a family of his own, but Nordone was often by her brother’s side for the political touch points of his career, speaking at events and appearing in some of his campaign ads.

After their parents died at a young age, Graham was left to raise his sister, for whom he later became legal guardian. They were very close, and she was there as he filed reelection paperwork earlier this year, along with her children and grandchildren.

“To Lindsey, I miss you more than I can even put into words,” Nordone said, emotion rising in her voice. “But I’m going to do this. I got it.”

Introducing Nordone, McMaster said the two had spoken in “in the wee hours of Sunday morning” after Graham’s death, and he asked her to serve.

“I had wondered what you would say, and I was humbled by your quickness to see the duty that you had to serve,” McMaster said. He added that President Donald Trump “thought it was a great idea” when he later told him of his pick. Trump announced his support for Nardone to fill the seat earlier Monday.

Nordone has worked as an optician and at various state agencies, including the South Carolina Commission for the Blind and the Department of Employment and Workforce. She lives in Lexington, is a graduate of the College of Charleston and has a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling.

How will a special primary work?

A special election will be held next month to pick a new Republican nominee in the general election for Graham’s seat. He had been seeking a fifth term this year.

The rare open Senate seat has ignited a scramble among South Carolina’s most ambitious conservatives, who have been eager to climb the political ladder.

Republicans just finished a sprawling and bruising contest to figure out their nominee for succeeding McMaster, who is wrapping up his second term. State Attorney General Alan Wilson won the nomination, overcoming a field that included Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, Rep. Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman — all of whom are now eyeing Graham’s seat following his death over the weekend.

According to South Carolina law, a one-week filing period for a special primary election begins on the second Tuesday after the candidate’s death, or July 21.

The special primary election would be held on the second Tuesday after that filing period closes, or Aug. 11. Any necessary runoff would follow two weeks after that, or Aug. 25.

From that point, the new nominee would have just over two months to campaign for the general election on Nov. 3.

All of this is problematic according to federal law, which requires military and overseas ballots to go out 45 days before any federal election. For the special election primary, that would have been June 27. Federal Election Commission officials didn’t immediately return a message seeking clarity about the process.

Who could replace Graham?

Graham died on Saturday night, and a preliminary medical examiner report said he suffered a tear in his aorta, known as an aortic dissection.

In the hours after Graham’s death was announced, South Carolina’s Republican circles were already swirling with rumors about possible replacements.

Evette, who has served nearly eight years alongside McMaster and received his endorsement in the governor’s race, is one possibility. She lost the June 23 runoff to Wilson.

Mace and Norman could run in the special primary as well. Neither of them are running for reelection to their House seats.

But another Republican from the state, Rep. Russell Fry, could be a possibility. The two-term lawmaker represents the growing area around Myrtle Beach, and he’s been a top Trump ally.

Businessman Mark Lynch, whom Graham defeated in the primary, may jump into the race. So could Mark Sanford, the state’s former governor who served two separate stints in the House.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who lived in South Carolina before joining the Trump administration, has fielded calls about potentially replacing Graham but doesn’t have interest in the role and enjoys working for the president, according to a person who insisted on anonymity to describe private conversations.

Graham Nordone says she will honor her brother by doing what he does.

How does Graham’s death affect the general election?

No Democrat has won a Senate seat in South Carolina in decades, and Republicans in recent history typically take statewide seats by double digits. When Graham last ran in 2020, he defeated his Democratic opponent, Jaime Harrison, by a 10 percentage point margin.

So while history suggests that Graham was en route to a fifth term, Republicans are carefully surveying the landscape.

Charleston pediatrician Annie Andrews won the Democratic nomination last month and has raised more than $8 million in the race, and she had just under $3 million cash on hand at the end of May, according to federal filings. Graham had taken in $6 million, with just over $4 million on hand.

In a statement Sunday, Andrews called on South Carolinians to join her “in setting partisanship aside and offering gratitude” to Graham for his service.

Harrison, noting that he and Graham “had our share of political disagreements,” wrote on social media that he “always appreciated that even in our fiercest political battles, we could still share a conversation, a laugh, and a mutual respect for South Carolina and the institutions we were both privileged to serve.”

Caresha's "Spend Dat" Sparks Outrage!

Caresha makes a hit. The far right and Black establishment makes a stink.

We are outraged over music and not actions. You have the power to change the channel, turn off the radio, turn off the internet, ignore the trolls and purchase the single. 

Things that have nothing to do with the cost of gas, groceries, insurance premiums, shipping costs, medical visits, vehicle repairs and energy costs.

Put the outrage on politicians, not entertainers. It is free speech and just music.

If you ask me, the more this stuff rises, the more likely folks are going to imitate art.

When Yung Miami released her single, "Spend Dat", the single rose on the music charts. 

However, the Black establishment and far right agitators are fuming over the song.

They are creating a Barbara Streisand effect.

I heard the song and I thought it was catchy. I didn't care for the message but I said, "money maker hit." 

Yung Miami said and I am paraphrasing: "It's a song. Get over it. Don't listen to it. Listen to it. Regardless of what you think, I made a hit."

"There have been so many more successful songs about murder, the disrespect of women, drug use/dealing etc. but Caresha's song about... stealing from major corporations... is the problem with our community? Please."

Well some think the single encourages boasting (shoplifting) and vanity spending.

This ongoing controversy centers around her hit single "Spend Dat," which ignited a major cultural divide regarding morality, materialism, and the values promoted in mainstream Black entertainment.

Critics argue that glorifying theft (like in the case of a viral incident where a mother-daughter duo used the song to dance with stolen designer bags) degrades the Black community and reinforces negative societal perceptions.

Yung Miami's hit club anthem includes lyrics that normalize "scamming," boosterism, and theft. The song's popularity faced heavy public condemnation from the traditional and conscious Black establishment, most notably from singer India.Arie. India Arie expressed disappointment in the song's mass acceptance, stating it is a "crystal clear sign of a bigger problem" and reflective of a culture glorifying negative stereotypes.

Caresha Brownlee is a rapper, producer, model and podcast host. She and rapper JT formed the City Girls in 2018. They were performing for years until they broke up in 2023.

They went on to make solo careers.

Yung Miami has ties to Sean "Puffy" Combs whom she dated for a few years before his federal case. The entertainer was accused by Lil Rob, a producer of being a madam or a servant to Combs as a prostitute. 

She had made homophobic remarks in the past but recanted before she got famous.

She is openly bisexual but not in any known relationships or she choose to stay private.

Yung Miami is 32. She has two children. One from a father who was gunned down in her child's early days. One from the mega producer and rapper Southside (Sizzle). 

Lindsey Graham Passed Away!

I guess Israel didn't bless him. Lindsey Graham, a controversial senator from South Carolina dies after that flight from Ukraine.

The news coming out of South Carolina is the longtime senator Lindsey Graham has passed away. This means governor Henry McMaster must appoint a replacement and a special election on top of a regular election. Graham became the nominee to run for his senate reelection this year.

Yearly wrap up.

Graham was 71.

The Senate race is still Safe Republican.

That means Pamela Evette is likely in the run to replace Graham. 

John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham, the three warhawks who pushed George W. Bush to war with Iraq. They are dead and gone. Good riddance.

Graham who said if we elect Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party will be lost.

Well they are lost. Lost in this mix of phony populism and white extremism.

Eventually a bitter Republican primary eventually led to a truce and friendship with the 45th/47th President Of The United States. Graham was instrumental along with Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AK), Rick Scott (R-FL) and John Fetterman (I-PA) in getting Trump to go to war with Iran.

Graham's legacy will be regarded as controversial. He and Mitch McConnell represented the Republican Party's devotion to white supremacy, war and culture wars.

Republicans are facing calls to address McConnell as he hasn't been seen publicly since June 14. 

Graham had came back from Kyiv, Ukraine. His press office stated he died of a sudden illness. But some believe it was cardiac arrest. Similar to McConnell.

Graham died on Saturday.

Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Henry McMaster, Sen. John Thune (R-SD), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Republican gubernatorial nominee Alan Wilson, U.S. House members and Senators will react to the passing.

Graham was one Trump’s closest allies in Congress and a longtime advocate of direct confrontation with Iran, died Saturday evening after a “brief and sudden illness,” his office said in statement posted on social media.

The office did not provide any additional details about the South Carolina Republican, who was 71 years old.

“Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,” the statement said.

Hello

Graham was close with Trump

Graham was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002 and was running for a fifth term. He briefly ran for president in 2016 and clashed with Trump, criticizing him as “unfit for office.”

However, he later emerged as one of Trump’s top allies, speaking with him frequently and becoming a regular presence on the golf course alongside the president.

Graham especially advised the president on foreign policy matters such as Iran and Russia, and had just announced an agreement on Friday with the Trump administration to move forward on a package of Russia sanctions.

Graham had been in Ukraine to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who acknowledged the senator’s 10th visit to the country and thanked him for “recognizing our warriors.”

As a member of the U.S. House in the 1990s, Graham backed policies aimed at isolating Iran and limiting its missile and nuclear programs.

He also cheered on Trump’s decision to strike nuclear sites last year and had been a supporter of the latest conflict that started a few months ago.

The Republican had a prominent career on Capitol Hill

Graham had been serving as the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, giving him a central role during Trump’s second term as Republicans pushed major legislation on party-line votes with a slim majority in the chamber.

His committee oversaw a process called reconciliation, a Senate procedure that allowed Republicans to pass significant policies such as last year’s tax law without the threat of a Democratic filibuster.

He had previously led the Senate Judiciary Committee when Republicans confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in 2020, and was in line to regain that gavel if the party kept control of the Senate after this year’s midterms.

Little explanation from Graham’s office

The sparse statement by Graham’s office, which did not explain his death, comes during a stretch of concern about a lack of transparency about lawmakers’ health.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr, a New Jersey Republican, was absent without explanation for months before returning to Congress and disclosing that he had been diagnosed with depression.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, was hospitalized weeks ago for undisclosed health reasons.

Wally Funk Passed Away!

Legends flew high.

American aviator who went to space as one of the oldest to be in space passed away.

Wally Funk, an aviation pioneer who was the oldest woman to launch into space, has died. She was 87.

Funk died Wednesday at her apartment in an assisted living facility in the Dallas and Fort Worth suburb of Grapevine, Texas, Grapevine City Councilwoman Duff O’Dell said Thursday.

O’Dell, who described herself as Funk’s caregiver, said she was by Funk’s side. Funk had fallen a couple of times recently and had an infection in her leg.

“It took its toll,” O’Dell said in a phone interview.

Funk was one of 13 female pilots who went through the same tests as NASA’s all-male astronaut corps in the early 1960s but never made it into space with that agency. In 2021, she got her chance aboard Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket.

At the time, the 82-year-old was the oldest person to go into space, though the record was later broken by “Star Trek” actor William Shatner and Ed Dwight, America’s first Black astronaut candidate. They were both 90.

Bezos chose Funk as an “honored guest” to ride alongside him and two others on an up-and-down hop from West Texas.

In a post on X, Blue Origin said Funk was a “pioneer in every sense of the word.”

“We were humbled to be part of her journey,” the post said.

O’Dell said Funk was the “most eternally optimistic person” she had ever met.

“She was told by many, many, many men, ‘No, you can’t do this. No you can’t do that,’ ” O’Dell said. “And she never got mad about it. She just was more determined.”

Funk was the first female inspector for the Federal Aviation Administration and the first female air safety investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, according to a brief biography released by the City of Grapevine.

In the 1960s, she and other female pilots went through astronaut training in the Mercury 13 program, but they were not allowed to become astronauts.

“Wally Funk never stopped believing that one day she would reach space. Her passion for flight, perseverance, and love of exploration will continue to inspire generations of Americans. Godspeed, Wally,” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman posted Thursday on X.

Timber On James Woods!

Don't throw stones at glass houses.

Actor and far right agitator James Woods has protected his social media after actress/activist Amber Tamblyn confirmed an encounter between them when she was 16.

During the fallout of Harvey Weinstein, many entertainers and politicians caught strays.

The actress said that Woods wanted to take her and a friend to Las Vegas for a "good time."

She blasted him for "predatory behavior" and stood on business by saying that his history goes further than her encounter.

Tamblyn at first wasn't believed but after Woods went after former Democratic senate candidate Graham Platner, I guess the progressives decided to bring his skeletons out the closet.

Following Woods' comments, political accounts and critics retaliated by resurfacing a 2017 allegation made by actress Amber Tamblyn. Tamblyn previously published an open letter in Teen Vogue and an op-ed in The New York Times detailing how an adult Woods tried to pick her and a friend up at a diner and take them to Las Vegas, allegedly replying "even better" when she informed him she was only 16 years old.

— Paula Wood (@PaulaWoodDMV) July 9, 2026

Woods, 79, known for his roles in "Casino" and "Once Upon a Time in America," had previously quoted an X post announcing Platner's cancelling of all campaign events where he rebuked Platner as "another pillar in the Democratic Pantheon," comparing him to former Rep. Eric Swalwell, who resigned from Congress after several women accused him of sexual assault and misconduct (allegations which he denies), as well as attorney Michael Avenatti and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA).

Tamblyn, 43, who rose to fame after starring in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in 2005, then penned an open letter to Woods, which was published Wednesday in Teen Vogue. In the letter, the actor, activist, director and poet elaborated on a claim she made Monday that Woods, an Oscar-nominated actor best known for his roles in dramas like Ghosts of Mississippi and Casino, once tried to make an advance on her when she was 16.

James Woods creeped out Amber Tamblyn.

The renewed attention and subsequent backlash over these predatory behavior allegations prompted Woods to lock his social media profile and take his account private. The internet scrutiny grew so intense that it even forced the mother of Washington Nationals baseball star James Wood to issue a public statement clarifying that her son was a completely different person from the actor.

Platner vehemently denied the allegations. He formally withdrew himself from the nomination. He blasted the system by claiming that the allegations (whether true or not) has distracted the populist message he stood for. Most of his supporters are mixed on the departure and allegations.

In November 2017, actress Elizabeth Perkins publicly named James Woods by carrying a handwritten sign that read "James Woods #MeToo" at the Take Back the Workplace and #MeToo Survivors march in Hollywood.

While Perkins did not explicitly detail the nature of her mistreatment, she joined the rally to support victims of sexual harassment and assault. Representatives for both actors did not issue public comments regarding the sign at the time.

Woods is an outspoken conservative who appeared in film, television, podcasts and video games.

Nolan X. Wells Is Forgotten News To America!

We not going to let his story fade.

The junk food media is picking up on a story about a young Black man being found dead on Horn Island in Mississippi. The media attention also Black Americans being found dead from mysterious drowning to hanging from trees.

Nolan Xavier Wells is national coverage. We are going to make his name synonymous with all the junk food media's obsession with missing white women.

The family of a Mississippi 18-year-old who was found dead after a July 4 boat trip with friends to an island off the Gulf Coast called for a thorough and transparent investigation during a news conference Friday with the Rev. Al Sharpton, saying many of the details they’re discovering don’t add up.

Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump, who was retained by the family of Wells earlier this week, has said the family has concerns about the investigation and planned to conduct an independent autopsy. Wells travelled by boat to Horn Island, Mississippi, on July 4 with a group of friends, but did not make the return trip with them that afternoon. His body was found early Monday morning, more than a day later.

While Jackson County Sheriff’s Office officials said investigators don’t suspect foul play in the Black college student’s death, the sheriff has asked for any witnesses or people with video from the popular beach island about 7 miles (11.27 kilometers) off the coast of Mississippi to come forward to help shed light on the moments before Wells’ disappearance and death.

If 3 Black people took a White man on a boat expedition and didn’t return with him the president would be making a speech right now.

Wiped their social media accounts.

And video footage shows Wells in an argument with his “friends”

None of this adds up. Unless you know Mississippi history.

Nolan Wells’ death is all over my timeline. I’m seeing mostly Black folks talking about it and saying this is a cautionary tale for why Black parents should side eye these kinds of friendships where their child is “the only Black kid” in white spaces. What looks like acceptance… pic.twitter.com/1KmalvJDGl

Why would Ben Crump and Al Sharpton withhold key details from people?

Are they just being lazy?

We need the truth. Not a narrative. There’s more to the Nolan Wells case.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (apparently a lot of you) but when it’s statistically probable that you can’t swim and you decide to party around water, your likelihood of drowning goes up exponentially.

Also. While we are on the topic of statistical probability.

Don’t fall for the social media propaganda demonizing entire races for clicks.

Wells’ death has galvanized the Black community. Actor and producer Tyler Perry is helping pay for Wells’ funeral, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick is helping pay for his independent autopsy and filmmaker Spike Lee showed up to the news conference to show support for Wells’ family.

Wells, who would have turned 19 next month, attended Southwest Mississippi Community College, where he played wide receiver on the football team. His family members have raised concerns, saying they’ve seen video of a fight allegedly involving their son, and saying that as an elite athlete he was able to swim.

Wells was left without his phone or keys, lawyers say

Attorneys said Friday that the friends who left Wells on the island took his phone and keys when they departed. Crump said Wells’ family used an app to track his phone, and a friend went to where it was on land to pick it up.

“What teenager would leave their phone behind if they’re going to stay on this island? What teenager wouldn’t take their phone? It’s not adding up at all,” Crump said.

He added that the family believes text messages from social media apps had been deleted from his phone when they got it back, and they plan to employ experts to try to retrieve all the data they can.

A photo posted to social media, allegedly from the boat ride to the island, shows Wells with his arms around three white, male friends. Speculation and suspicion about the teen’s death have been rampant online, as people grapple with the state’s history of racial tension and what it means to be a Black person in a majority white space.

Wells’ mother, Christine Wonsley, looked to the sky several times as lawyers spoke Friday, to hold back tears. When she spoke, she said this was not how she wanted the world to know her son.

Wonsley said they had taught him about history, but he was a peacemaker who didn’t like division, and wanted everyone to be included.

“We just wanna know what happened,” she said, through tears. “And why our baby didn’t come home.”

Family demands thorough investigation into Wells’ death

Crump called for a thorough investigation, saying to law enforcement, “They want to know that you have not taken the path of least resistance.”

“If the roles were reversed and you had three young Black men on a boat with a young white man and that young white man ended up dead, what kind of investigation would be conducted by the Mississippi law enforcement officials? How many times would those three young Black men be interrogated?” he added.

It’s the second case that Crump has taken on in the state in recent months. He also was recently retained by the family of a Mississippi 1-year-old who was killed when police fired into a moving car.

Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter said earlier this week that Wells’ mother had called to report him missing around midnight into the morning of July 5. Crews from multiple local and state agencies began an extensive search Sunday of the island and surrounding waters. His body was recovered early Monday, family members confirmed.

An official autopsy was conducted Tuesday, though officials have said it could be weeks before results are released. Ledbetter said Wells’ friends were cooperating with the investigation.

“From the people we’ve talked to, it sounds like he chose to stay on the island with the assumption that he was going to ride back to the mainland with someone else,” Ledbetter told The Associated Press earlier this week.

Crump and Wells’ family said some of those details didn’t seem to add up either, saying from the videos they had seen Wells was one of, if not the only, Black person on the island where there were around 200 people celebrating the holiday. They said the girl the friends said Wells was speaking to gave a different story about him leaving with those friends. They raised questions about why no one would have given him a ride home if he chose to stay.

“If he’s drowning, nobody sees him drown? Nobody offers assistance? Nobody tries to help? I mean, obviously he stands out. I think he’s the only Black person I saw when I’m looking at the videos,” Crump said.

Lynching is back.

Gov. Tate Reeves, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith (R-MS), Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS), Rep. Mike Ezell (R-MS) and Rep. Trent Kelly (R-MS) represent a generation of boomers. 

Clueless and worthless.

Mississippi is one of the poorest states in the country. It is has a 40% Black population but is poorly represented by all members.

Republicans maintain a supermajority of power.

Missing white woman syndrome is a term used by some social scientists and media commentators to denote perceived disproportionate media coverage, especially on television, of missing-person cases toward white females as compared to males, or females of color. Supporters of the phenomenon posit that it encompasses supposed disproportionate media attention to females who are young, attractive, white, and upper middle class. Although the term was coined in the context of missing-person cases, it is sometimes used of coverage of other violent crimes. The phenomenon has been highlighted in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and other predominantly white countries, as well as South Africa.

The phenomenon has led to a number of tough-on-crime measures, mainly on the political right, that were named for white women who disappeared and were subsequently found harmed. In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size, and youthfulness have been identified as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women was more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends, criminal history, or drug addiction, while coverage of white women often tended to focus on their roles as mothers, daughters, students, and contributors to their communities.

The Laken Riley Act is a controversial law that eliminates due process. An example of a missing woman, a criminal of color, political theater and more laws that eliminate freedoms under guise of protecting.

How many women of color are killed by white men?

Do white men often troll social media with "thoughts and prayers" to women of color?

It is an easy answer......!

Former kidnapping victim and victim's rights advocate Elizabeth Smart has pressed the junk food media to give attention to all people missing (especially woman of color). She voiced frustration over missing Black and indigenous women who rarely get coverage.

Her case attracted major media attention and led to the arrest of two predators. She stated that the junk food media needs to do better when it comes to covering victims.

Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna want to see all missing persons found safely, regardless of color. However, we want the same amount of time spent to finding women of color, children, men and other women who never get the attention.

It's a real coined term to media coverage of missing white women who get nonstop coverage. You know more about this person than the thousands of people missing everyday.

In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size and youthfulness function as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women were more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends or a troubled past, while coverage of white women often tend to focus on their roles as mothers or daughters.

Black women and indigenous women are missing far more and yet they never get the attention that white women get. Think about Gabby Petito and the amount of attention she and her killer got.

Usually if the victim is a white woman and the suspect is Black or an immigrant, the Republicans will exploit the tragedy to encourage white nationalists to vote. 

The world may never see Colin Flaherty or Charlie Kirk's rotten asses ever again.

However, there are more like them in the waiting. Believe me, Andy Ngo, Chaya Raichik, Benny Johnson, Jeffrey Mead, Candace Owens, Laura Loomer, Kevin Jackson, Jesse Lee Peterson, Larry Elder and Michelle Malkin will suck the cock of white supremacy for a buck.

Curmudgeon Fires Bipartisan Election Officials!

I won the 2020 election. They don't what they talking about.

From Washed Up 45 to Curmudgeon 47. I think I got a nickname for the already lame duck. 

I am debating on whether I label him that or Geezer 47.

Months away from the U.S. Midterms, President Donald J. Trump has used his new authority to fire independent government officials who refuse to abide by his illegal orders. Christie McCormick, Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland were fired out the cannon.

Any new commissioners must be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The commission cannot have more than two members of the same party.

The ousters came the week after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a 91-year-old case that had limited the president’s ability to remove members of independent federal boards.

Trump has urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require voters to provide proof of citizenship when they register to vote and present photo identification when voting.

“We do that, we’re not gonna lose an election for a hundred years,” Trump said during an Independence Day speech.

The U.S. Supreme Court is by far one of the worst entities of modern time. John Roberts will be ranked as one of the worst. In his 20 years of holding the title of Chief Justice, his legacy will be almost as bad as Roger Taney.

It will be similar to former president and chief justice William Howard Taft. 

These people were doing their job without bias or favor.

The Taft court was responsible for the unnecessary power that led us into the Great Depression.

With this latest decision to allow the president and future ones fire independent commissioners, it allows cronyism and favoritism. When an election is held and the results come through official calls, the president could instruct his officials to stall the election results. He cannot officially overturn decisions but it doesn't say won't try.

Two of the commissioners on the Election Assistance Commission were Democrats, whom Trump fired. The third official, a Republican, was allowed to resign. VoteBeat cited three officials familiar with the matter.

The EAC trains election officials in new voting technology, manages the national mail voter registration form, and oversees a testing and certification program for voting machines, some of which Trump falsely claimed took votes away from him and gave to former president Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Trump falsely maintains the election was rigged against him.

No his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the economy and his push to rush through Amy Coney Barrett doomed his reelection bid.

Biden's failure to focus on the economy, his refusal to stop aiding Israel as it was committing a genocide, his debate performance, allowing Merrick Garland to slow walk Trump’s indictments which he delayed through the Supreme Court, failures to reign in John Fetterman, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin as they blocked key bills and allowing former vice president Kamala Harris take the bullet for his failures allowed Trump to return and cause more chaos.

Despite the Jan. 6 attacks, the American voters allowed this curmudgeon to return to the White House.

Oh, the junk food media was obsessed with Harris. They were on her like flies to shit.

No one seems to care about JD Vance, the current Vice President of the United States. He barely gets media coverage. Like it seems like a double standard for how the junk food media gives this curmudgeon the unnecessary attention in the face of endless crises he created.

Joy Reid: They Playing With Fire!

We ain't playing no more games.

Joy Reid said it clearly...

You have my permission to sit this one out. 

She is telling Democratic and Republican voters to just sit it out because the game is rigged. She said while Graham Platner is crazy, the voters who picked him as the nominee deserve the option of voting for him, flawed or not. With him dropping out, the Maine Democratic Party and independent senator Angus King are warned that putting in a candidate that goes against the platform Platner stood on will face a boycott.

The voters don't care about his personal problems. They care about policies that lowers groceries, gas prices, insurance premiums, education, shipping costs, healthcare costs and commodities.

The voters care about their taxpayer money going to Israel.

The voters care about the dumb potholes on their roads damaging their vehicles.

The voters care about the government not working in their interest.

Reid like Tucker Carlson has acknowledged that the two party systems worthless. 

She has left the Democratic Party. 

The enthusiasm is drying up and the Democratic Party will be shell shocked when they realize the progressive base they claim should find their own party will eventually do it at a crucial time.

On "The Joy Reid Show," the former MS NOW host warned key figures in the party that if they do not replace Platner with an "ideologically similar candidate," voters may stay home on Election Day.

"You need to replace him with somebody who is ideologically the same because that is what was decided. The people of Maine, the Democratic voters of Maine said, 'We want a progressive.' They did not say they want an AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] moderate," Reid said. "So, the Democratic Party in Maine ought to pick someone who is ideologically the same or ideologically similar as Platner."

Reid went on to give Maine voters her blessing not to cast their ballot if the Democrats do not select a candidate whose policies are in line with Platner's campaign promises.

"If you don't and the DNC shoves an AIPAC candidate down your throat, you have my permission to not vote for them because the Democratic Party needs to learn that it is not, 'Vote blue no matter who.' It matters who," Reid continued.

Trump Might Abandon Qatari Gifted Air Force One!

No flights or just flights in darkness.

The President of the United States bragged about his new Air Force One plane. It was a damn near $400 million gift from the government of Qatar. The president was told by the U.S. Secret Service, the vice president and several Republicans about the optics.

President Donald J. Trump has a job approval of 29%. 

Vice President JD Vance has a job approval of 34%.

Congress has a job approval of 23%.

Supreme Court has a job approval of 29%.

The junk food media in general is viewed negatively more by Republicans but is starting to be viewed negatively by Democrats.

Israel is viewed very negatively by Democrats overwhelmingly. In the Republican Party, younger voters view Israel extremely negative. Older and religious Republicans view Israel still favorably. Democratic lawmakers like Haley Stevens, Chuck Schumer, Jared Moskowitz, Josh Gottheimer, Angie Craig, Ritchie Torres, Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen, Hakeem Jeffries and even independent John Fetterman still back Israel despite opposition.

The war in Iran is very unpopular. The aggression has led to high gas prices, high food prices, high shipping costs, high insurance premiums and global instability.

Trump flew out of Turkey on Wednesday night on the old Air Force One instead of his new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 as a security precaution related to the resumption of hostilities with Iran, according to people briefed on the plans, who said the change came at the urging of the Secret Service.

The swap deepens questions about whether the new plane, which the president had pressed to be ready as soon as possible, was retrofitted with sufficient security measures over the last year. Lawmakers and some officials have raised concerns about whether the expedited timeline allowed for the addition of an advanced missile defense system and other modifications used to protect the president.

In a statement, Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, said that “the new Air Force One is a state-of-the-art aircraft that has been fitted with high-level security protocols that ensure the safety of the president and his staff.”

Trump doesn't look well.

“As the president has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal — including distraction and misdirection — to address those threats,” he added.

The older plane has been widely reported to be equipped with a system designed to blind an incoming antiaircraft missile, along with “chaff” that could be deployed to mislead a missile and force it off course.

It is unclear how many, if any, of those capabilities have been installed on the newer plane that was donated from Qatar, which Trump has been eager to get into service.

Industry and Pentagon officials have said such an extensive upgrade could cost as much as $1 billion and take up to two years to complete. But in testimony before Congress, Troy E. Meink, the Air Force secretary, estimated that the modifications would run “probably less than $400 million.”

The Air Force started upgrading the 747 jetliner in the United States last summer.

Air Force officials said at the time that they were modifying the jet for “executive airlift” support, on orders of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but that all other details about the upgrade were classified.

The plan immediately drew criticism from some members of Congress. The lawmakers expressed concern that Trump would pressure the Air Force to do the work so fast that sufficient security measures would not be built into the plane, including missile defense systems or even systems to protect it from the electromagnetic effects of a nuclear blast.
