QVC Calling In Bankruptcy!

QVC is opening the door to being sold to Temu.

A major digital multimedia company has filed for bankruptcy.

The owner of home shopping network pioneer QVC — which for years garnered the attention of millions of TV viewers looking for a deal on baubles and housewares, is planning to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

A filing about imminent bankruptcy protection by parent company QVC Group, which also owns HSN, formerly the Home Shopping Network, arrives as long-running TV shopping networks struggle to adapt to the rapid shift by consumers now tuning in to livestreams on TikTok, or online marketplaces like Shein.

According to an annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission this week, the company said that it intends to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas after reaching a restructuring agreement with creditors.

Its goal is to emerge from bankruptcy protection before the summer is over, but the West Chester, Pennsylvania, company warned that its access to funding is difficult to predict. It noted significant fees and other costs in connection with the preparation for the bankruptcy protection.

“We cannot assure that cash on hand, cash flow from operations will be sufficient to continue to fund our operations,” it wrote.

QVC Group has attempted to revive flagging sales for some time, which in 2024 were down almost 30% compared with its peak of more than $14 billion in 2020. Shares in QVC Group, which went for over $900 a decade ago, were trading for less than $3 earlier this week.

Founded in 1986 by Joseph Myron Segel, QVC, which is short for Quality Value Convenience, built a following primarily of women aged 50 and older, according to Lawrence Duke, a clinical professor of marketing at the university’s LeBow College of Business. He said in a blog post that QVC benefited from repeat purchases by its base of viewers. But that group has aged and is shrinking, he noted.

And competition has increased substantially.

Consumers have increasingly dropped cable subscriptions and look less and less to scheduled programming, Duke said. Such programming has been replaced by live platforms such as TikTok Shop, where consumers can buy products touted by influencers with tens of thousands of followers on Instagram and YouTube. Low-cost marketplaces like Shein and Temu are also commanding more attention, Duke wrote.

QVC has significantly expanded its digital sales and expanded its presence on social media, but those maneuvers have fallen short.

QVC “competes in a crowded marketplace where attention is fragmented and switching costs are low,” Duke said.

So in other words, Temu might eventually buy QVC.

With tariffs and the U.S. war with Iran, the American consumer is struggling. The global economy is definitely on the decline thanks to its use of the U.S. dollar.

Iran has single handedly forced the world to realize that the U.S. and Israel are the cause of the chaos in the world. This weird bond with Israel has exposed the failures of capitalism.

More people are concerned about Christian and Jewish extremism.

Layoffs and closures are excelling at a faster pace than it was in 2023.

D4VD Faces Murder Rap!

Singer, rapper and sexual predator faces murder charges.

The former singer, rapper and media personality is arrested for the death of a 14-year old girl who was found dead inside his Tesla. The allegations involve domestic violence and pedophilia.

Midway Wrap Up in May.

D4VD has been arrested on suspicion of killing a 14-year-old girl whose decomposed body was found seven months ago in his apparently abandoned Tesla, authorities said Thursday, while his lawyers declared his innocence.

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

Los Angeles police said in a brief statement that homicide detectives arrested the 21-year-old Houston-born alt-pop singer, whose legal name is David Burke, on suspicion of murder in the investigation of the killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Defense attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter responded in an email: “Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death.”

Police said investigators would present a case to prosecutors at the Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office on Monday. The office said in its own statement that it is aware of the arrest and its Major Crimes Division will review the case to determine whether there is enough evidence to file charges.

Fatal attraction. The girl was seen with D4VD. They referred to each other as a couple.

The long-dead body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in a Tesla on Sept. 8, a day after she would have turned 15. She was a 13-year-old seventh grader when her family reported her missing in 2024 from her hometown of Lake Elsinore, about 70 miles (112 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. Authorities give her age as 14 when she was killed in court documents.

The 2023 Tesla Model Y was registered in the singer’s name at the Texas address of his subpoenaed family members, according to court filings from prosecutors. It had been towed from an upscale neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills where it had been sitting, seemingly abandoned.

Police investigators searching the Tesla in a tow yard found a cadaver bag “covered with insects and a strong odor of decay,” court documents said, and “detectives partially unzipped the bag and observed a decomposed head and torso.”

D4VD allegedly groomed victim.

Investigators from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office removed the bag and “discovered the arms and legs had been severed from the body,” according to court documents. A second black bag was found under the first, and dismembered body parts were inside it. No cause of death has been publicly revealed.

Authorities had not publicly named D4VD — pronounced “David” — as a suspect prior to the arrest.

D4VD gained popularity among Generation Z fans for his blend of indie rock, R&B and lo-fi pop. He went viral on TikTok in 2022 with the hit “Romantic Homicide,” which peaked at No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. He then signed with Darkroom and Interscope Records and released his debut EP “Petals to Thorns” and a follow-up, “The Lost Petals,” in 2023.

When the body was discovered, D4VD had been on tour in support of his first full-length album, “Withered.” Later, the last two North American shows, in San Francisco and Los Angeles, along with a scheduled performance at LA’s Grammy Museum, were canceled, as was the European tour that was to have begun in Norway.

This case was being treated as a possible DEATH card indictment.

 

A spokesperson told NBC News in a statement that D4VD "has been informed about what’s happened, and although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities."

How did D4VD hid a girl inside his car?

Universal Music Group, the parent company of Interscope Records, referred questions to an attorney for D4VD. The attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Another body was found in a car Tuesday at a different tow yard in South Los Angeles as part of an investigation into a missing person, police said. That tow yard is near Western and Gage avenues, around 7 miles south of Hollywood.

"At this point in the investigation there is no known connection between the two cases," police spokeswoman Jennifer Forkish said.

Analilia Mejia Heads To Washington!

Washington bound.

Rep-elect Analilia Mejia (D-NJ) will have six months to prove she is worthy of being a U.S. Representative. After the pro-Israel group J Street endorsed her, many felt it was a betrayal.

Mejia won the New Jersey special primary run off this evening.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) might do what he done to Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ). Since Tony Gonzales and Eric Swalwell left the House of Representatives and the swearing in off Rep. Clay Fuller (R-GA), the Republicans will try to keep the majority in their favor given the members voted against the War Powers Act again.

Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), the racist member of the Democratic caucus voted with Republicans to keep President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth free of congressional oversight in this aggression in Iran. The Republican offsetting racist member Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voting against the Republican conference desire to give Trump unprecedented military powers.

Mejia who ran as a progressive won against her Republican opponent.

Mejía, 48, a former head of the Working Families Alliance who had support from Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, will fill the seat previously held by Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill and serve until January.

Her victory is a win for progressives and means Democrats hold on to the 11th District seat in the House, where Republicans hold a thin majority. It also adds to a string of victories for Democrats heading into this year’s midterm elections.

The Associated Press called the race for Mejía minutes after the polls closed.

Mejía later spoke in Montclair to an enthusiastic crowd of supporters who called out in unison with her that she was an “unbought, unbossed, sassy new member of Congress.”

Republicans criticized her throughout the campaign as too far to the left. She pushed back against those arguments, calling for better health care and education and attacking billionaires for having a “stranglehold” on the economy.

“It is not radical to say that a worker who toils every day cannot make ends meet, that they deserve justice, that they deserve higher wages,” Mejía said Thursday night. “That is not radical, that is good conscience. That is a good economy.”

Her speech echoed Sanders, who congratulated her in a social media post and said she would be a “great progressive addition” to Congress.

Mejía emerged from a crowded primary in February and cast the race as a test of Trump’s leadership. She criticized his pardons of people convicted of Jan. 6-related crimes and faulted him for freezing funds authorized by Congress.

She campaigned on populist economic policies and pushing to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She has criticized the Israeli government and said she stands with Palestinian communities in their “pursuit of peace and dignity.”

Hathaway, 38, tried to use Mejía’s progressive credentials to his advantage, as national Republicans cast her as a socialist. After her victory he congratulated Mejía and wished her well. He added that he still believes the district is looking for “balanced, pragmatic” leadership, not “far-left policies.”

The two could go head to head again in November’s election for a full two-year term.

The 11th District, which covers parts of Essex, Morris and Passaic counties in northern New Jersey’s wealthy suburbs, was long a Republican stronghold but has become increasingly Democratic since Trump’s first term.

Sherrill first won the seat in 2018’s midterm elections, when Democrats flipped dozens of seats to take control of Congress. In 2024 she won reelection by about 15 points, while Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, carried the district by nearly 9 points.

Mejía’s margin of victory was greater. With more than 90% of votes counted late Thursday, she led Hathaway by about 20 percentage points. Additional mail-in ballots — which have favored Mejía by an even larger margin — will be counted in the coming days as they can arrive as late as Wednesday.

Saran Cunningham, an 86-year-old retired special educator, said she was initially reluctant to support Mejía, worried that her views were too far to the left. She backed another candidate in the primary. But recently, outside the Morristown early polling location, she said she would now vote for Mejía.

“I think we’ve been tilting a little bit more to the right lately, which worries me,” Cunningham said. “I think that we need people in Congress who will fight for things that will help people as opposed to hurting them.”

Rob Berkowitz, 62, cast his early vote for Hathaway at the Denville polling station. Describing himself as a conservative, Berkowitz gave Trump high marks on immigration, the economy and the war in Iran, comparing him to Winston Churchill. He criticized the Democratic Party for moving away from leaders in the style of Harry Truman, whom he praised.

“They want borders wide open. They don’t want to enforce existing immigration laws,” Berkowitz said.

The February Democratic primary pitted Mejía against former Rep. Tom Malinowski and others in a race where the American Israel Public Affairs Committee was a key player. The group’s affiliated super PAC tried to thwart Malinowski after he questioned unconditional aid to the Israeli government. That effort appeared to backfire as Mejía, who said she agreed that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, came out on top.

Over the years she has been a regular presence in the state Capitol, advocating for progressive causes, and was Sanders’ political director during his 2020 presidential run. During the Biden administration, she was deputy director of the Labor Department’s Women’s Bureau.

In addition to winning Sanders’ endorsement, she was backed by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Hathaway, a former Yale University football player, has worked in health care and finance as well as in politics as an aide for former GOP Gov. Chris Christie.

Justin Fairfax Murders His Wife And Himself!

A piece of paper does not stop a disgraced lawmaker from killing his wife and himself.

Texas, Florida, Mississippi and Virginia are leading in gun violence.

Okay, cue the politicians.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Abigail Spanberger, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), U.S. House members, former governors Ralph Northam and Glenn Youngkin were notified of the former lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax killing his wife and himself.

Fairfax was a lieutenant governor. Dr. Cerina Fairfax was an orthopedic dentist.

Frot with scandals, Democrats Ralph Northam and Justin Fairfax allowed Republicans to take control.

Fairfax was a rising star in the Democratic Party before his career was derailed by sexual assault allegations several years ago, killed his wife before killing himself, police said Thursday.

Fairfax, 47, and his wife, Dr. Cerina Fairfax, 49, were found dead in their home in the Washington, D.C., suburb of Annandale after their teenage son called 911 shortly after midnight, Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said.

The couple were separated and going through a divorce but living in the same house with their two children, who were home when the shootings occurred, he said. A court filing said the couple separated in 2024 and filed for divorce last year.

Fairfax was served recently with paperwork telling him when next to appear in court, Davis said. In January, officers went to the home after Justin Fairfax alleged that his wife had assaulted him, he said.

“Apparently, Mrs. Fairfax, at some point during these divorce proceedings, set up a lot of cameras inside the home. We reviewed those cameras, and we corroborated that the alleged assault never occurred,” Davis said.

The couple, who met as undergraduates at Duke University, had been married since 2006. Cerina Fairfax ran a family dentistry practice. After graduating from Duke, she attended the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry, which honored her in 2015 as its most outstanding alumna of the last decade.

A profile page on her dental practice’s website described her as an avid reader who liked to travel, practice yoga, go on trail runs with her Vizsla-breed dogs, and “spend time with her wonderful family.”

“It’s very sad for this community,” Davis said. “A lot of people who know the Fairfax family, everybody’s shocked. We’re shocked.”

Cameron and Carys Fairfax will now have to deal with the loss of their parents. Their dad, Justin Fairfax murdered their mom Cerina in their home.

For a brief period in 2019, Justin Fairfax seemed poised to become Virginia’s second Black governor as Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam became engulfed in a scandal over a racist photo in his medical school yearbook that led to calls for his resignation.

But then two women came forward accusing Fairfax of sexually assaulting them years earlier. He adamantly denied the allegations and was never charged.

Vanessa Tyson said Fairfax — at the time a Columbia Law School student serving as an aide to Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards — forced her to perform oral sex in his hotel room during the Democratic National Convention in Boston in 2004. Two days after Tyson’s statement, Meredith Watson issued her own, accusing Fairfax of raping her in 2000, when they were students at Duke University.

The Associated Press generally doesn’t name people who say they are victims of sexual assault, but both women came forward publicly. Fairfax said the encounters were consensual and refused calls to resign. Fairfax later tried to run for governor in 2021, some said to clear his name, but was largely shunned by Virginia Democrats.

Fairfax said he believed voters would see through what he described as a smear campaign against him. But he was defeated in the Democratic primary.

Court filings show that Fairfax had financial challenges following the sexual assault allegations, which prompted his resignation as a partner at a prestigious law firm. The IRS filed a lien against the couple for more than $91,000 in unpaid taxes that was resolved in 2021.

A former federal prosecutor and civil litigator, Fairfax first unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for attorney general in 2013, then won the race for lieutenant governor in 2017.

The deaths stunned political leaders throughout the state.

“We are keeping Cerina and Justin Fairfax’s family — especially their two children — in our prayers as we all process this shocking and horrifying news,” Virginia’s Democratic U.S. senators, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, said in a joint statement.

Fairfax had served as co-chair for Warner’s 2014 reelection campaign.

Ghazala Hashmi, Virginia’s current lieutenant governor, called the deaths devastating.

“My thoughts are with their children, loved ones, and numerous friends,” Hashmi said in a statement. “Along with so many in the Commonwealth, I am filled with sorrow; I await further insights from our law enforcement officials.”

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

3,615 homicides and 6,205 shootings.

How many mass shootings?

130 mass shootings.

How many school shootings?

7 school shootings. 18 near campus shootings.

How many religious institution shootings?

2 religious institutions.

How many civilians killed by police?

300 people killed by police.

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

30 members of law enforcement.

How many firefighters and first responders died in incidents?

4 members of firefighters and first responders.

Are you getting tired of this?

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

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

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

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

Nevermind.

Only in America, how many more mass shootings must we deal with before we finally curb gun violence?
The mass shootings have to total 100 or more dead.
An elected official will be shot and killed.
A terrorist will target a protected group.
Police officers will be killed by a gunman.
All of these above.

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

The United States is downsizing in democracy. 

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

It's the guns stupid!

Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:
  • White
  • Black
  • Latino
  • Muslim
  • Arab
  • Non White National
  • Immigrant
  • A member of the LGBTQ community 
  • A disgruntled employee 
  • A former student
  • A current student
  • A gang member
  • A so called leftist 
  • A person who has conservative views
  • A person with easy access to firearm
The person with easy access to firearms should be the only answer. Alas, the far right is hoping for this to be a person they can scapegoat as their next de jour of outrage. Anyone can get firearm in the United States. Even, people who are non U.S. citizens are allowed to obtain firearms. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

America.

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

The United States is downsizing in democracy and freedom.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump gave us open season.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are covering workplace violencereligious facility violencepolice violence and school shootings as well. 

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

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

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

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

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

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

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

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

Dom Lucre Is A Person Not A Food Dish!

If Dracula had a son that was not Alucard.

A far right Black agitator is demonitized on X for boast manipulation. He goes on a long winded complaint about how MAGA betrayed him.

Imagine you complain about being demonetized while on other platforms making bank.

We are living in the last rites of capitalism. It is failing the United States.

Black people make more bashing their own community than standing up for it.

I am serious.

Why should we be unified as a group when there's folks like this making the u-n-i-t-y for white established laws, economics and foreign policy?

This Dom Lucre figure was suspended for 90 days as X influncer. He was allegedly spamming for profit.

Originally banned from X when it was Twitter, Elon Musk reinstated him. Lucre was posting child abuse, allegedly sexually explicit content with children and adults.

He is billed as a journalist.

He appeared on Fox whenever it has an issue involving the Black community, former president Barack Obama and former vice president Kamala Harris.

Lucre, with nearly 1.4 million followers was banned after he posted two screenshots of a video depicting child sexual abuse. The post was about Peter Scully, an Australian man sentenced to life in prison for sexually abusing children.

Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, wrote on the social media platform that all “aggregators” – users who quickly repackage and repost news from other accounts – had received less money from the creator revenue sharing programme.

Under the scheme, X gives a share of advertising revenue to creators who have at least 500 verified followers and generate at least 5 million views over a three-month period. Bier wrote that aggregators had their payouts reduced by 60% and that total will be reduced by a further 20%.

“It became abundantly clear: flooding the timeline with 100 stolen reposts and clickbait everyday crowded out real creators and hurt new author growth,” he wrote.

Bier added that a permanent deduction in payments will be imposed on people who use “🚨BREAKING” on every post on X, formerly called Twitter, which Musk acquired in a $44bn deal in 2022.

“X will never infringe on speech or reach – but we will not compensate for manipulation of the programme or our users,” Bier added.

His weekend post came after several rightwing influencers said their payments had been stopped. Dominick McGee, who posts conspiracy theory content on X under the name Dom Lucre and has 1.6m followers, wrote on Saturday that he had been demonetised “without any insight”.

McGee also posted what appeared to be a message from X stating that he had been removed from the creator revenue sharing programme due to “violations of our creator monetisation standards”.

Last year the New York Times reported that McGee was making $55,000 a year from X, a comparatively low figure given his 9am to 8pm work schedule.

Ethan Levins, whose X profile describes himself as an “independent journalist” and “truth seeker”, said the platform had pulled payments despite his account receiving no censure for posting violating content.

Black men gave President Donald J. Trump one of his largest backing. He pulled 35% of the Black male vote. When it comes to Black women he only pulled 5%. So if you do the math, Trump pulled 25% of the Black vote overall, the highest for a white president of a politicial party that opposes a lot of Black policies.of the vote. 

Blacks are not monolithic in party registration. I voted for Democrats and Republicans in past elections. Now as we are moving into a year of uncertainty, I am voting for candidates who care about potholes, not Israel. Better pay, not bothering transgender Americans. Lowering the cost of food, rent, energy and housing, not demonizing Muslims, immigrants, single parents and gays.

Focus on the paychecks not the culture wars.

Enough of the neverending distractions.

They want you to risk your freedom or your life to protect their right to gas you up to commit unspeakable crimes against one another.

Look, I am getting older and less concerned with issues of the past. I've grown up to not worry about what other people do in their personal lives. Since I lost my good job, it's been a survival in the jungle. I work daily, go home, fix home meals and go to bed. I do have my own personal demons that could be exposed if I succeed to the levels of celebrity.

I am ready for it. Because it is a part of the process of being above the noise.

Pete Hegseth Face Impeachment!

Pete Puma faces impeachment threats. The drunk is under fire.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) filed six articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of repeatedly violating his oath to the Constitution.

“Pete Hegseth broke his oath to the Constitution, put U.S. troops at grave risk through the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, engaged in abuse of office and conduct beneath the dignity of his office, and carried out unlawful military actions despite his obligation to refuse–including strikes on civilians and a girls’ school in Minab, Iran,” Ansari said in a statement.

“Hegseth’s conduct meets the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors and warrants immediate removal by Congress,” she said.

You can view her articles of impeachment here.

Iran American lawmaker Yassamin Ansari calls for Hegseth to be impeached.

House Democrats cosponsoring Ansari’s bill are Reps. Sarah McBride (Del.), Lauren Underwood (Ill.), Al Green (Texas), Steve Cohen (Tenn.), Jasmine Crockett (Texas), Nikema Williams (Ga.), Dina Titus (Nev.), Dave Min (Calif.), Shri Thanedar (Mich.), Melanie Stansbury (N.M.), Mike Quigley (Ill.) and Brittany Pettersen (Colo.).

While it is unlikely to get a passing vote, this has been the latest in a series of recklessness of Hegseth who has refused to address the reasons why the U.S. went to war with Iran.

Hegseth has drawn criticism during his tenure as Secretary of Defense for a variety of actions such as: the fallout from a leaked government group chat on Signal, alleged war crimes related to U.S. military strikes on alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea, promoting Christianity inside the military, using unmarked military planes for boat strikes, and the use of force and the rules of engagement in the 2026 Iran war.

7-Eleven Will Close Stores!

No way out when 7-Eleven closes locations.

I used to go into gas stations to get drinks or a quick meal most of the time. That was when I had a better job and times were better. Now that I have a job I despise and the work loads are bigger but the paychecks are still the same, I am cutting back on things.

Everything is going up but our paychecks.

Vacations are going to be a thing of the past. People are not taking vacations. We are struggling with paying bills, keeping up with work and experiencing burnout at massive levels.

Companies are resorting to AI and robotics to save money.

I noticed that some of the Speedway stores that aren't remodeled in the Dayton area are either closing or being converted into independent stores.

There was a location in Huber Heights that recently closed. It was across the street from Wawa, which entered the Dayton area in early 2026.

I bet the classic Speedway locations in Kettering and Centerville are next. The city has two locations that look like the closed Huber Heights location. They are not redeveloped to standard 24/7 operations. They are not modeled like most 7-Eleven locations.

There were Rich Fuel stations in Trotwood and Greenville that closed in 2025.

These companies operate under the Seven & i Holdings. 

Parent company Seven & i Holdings said in a recent filing that 645 7-Eleven locations are slated to close during its 2026 fiscal year, which began in March. The closures include some stores that will be converted into wholesale fuel sites rather than traditional convenience locations.

Norfolk, Virginia has two locations across the street from one another.

Despite the pullback, the company is still pursuing selective expansion. Seven & i expects to open about 205 new 7-Eleven stores during the same period, partially offsetting the closures.

Across North America, 7-Eleven exists. In places like Ohio, Virginia, California, Texas, Florida, New York and New Jersey, they are within a block of one another.

There are over 15,000 stores in the U.S. and overall 89,000 in the world.

It looks like up to 700 stores are going to be losing the branding or close completely.

7-Eleven does operate inside BP, Shell or Marathon. 

The net effect is a smaller overall footprint. Company projections show the number of 7-Eleven convenience stores in North America declining to about 12,272 locations by the end of the fiscal year, down from more than 13,000 stores in 2024.

The company’s North American business has faced softer performance in recent periods, including declines in customer traffic, according to company data.

The planned closures come as Seven & i looks to streamline operations and optimize its store portfolio.

Seven & i did not disclose which specific locations will be affected by the closures.

The moves reflect a broader push to focus on core convenience store operations while balancing closures with targeted expansion.

Well, Well, Well....

1980s pop culture figure arrested for domestic violence.

I've talked about missing white woman syndrome. It is a part of the junk food media's obsession with finding missing white women while ignoring everyone else.

Savannah Guthrie, the NBC News host has went three months without finding her mother, Nancy. It is likely she has passed away. She is an elderly lady who needed medical support to survive. The junk food media has slowed down on the coverage because they're now obsessed with President Donald J. Trump doing this war thing.

Yeah, the war with Iran has affected the global economy. We all gonna pay for this.

Anyway, I am an 80s baby. I grew up watching an event in West Texas.

A toddler falls into an abandoned mine well.

Baby Jessica.

The junk food media was obsessed with this incident.

Living in Midland, Texas, Jessica McClure Morales continues to function as normal person.

Jessica fell into a well in her aunt's backyard in Midland, Texas, on October 14, 1987, at the age of 18 months. 

Over the next 58 hours, rescuers worked to free her from the 8 in (20 cm) well casing, about 22 ft (7 m) below grade.

The story garnered national attention, with the big three television networks broadcasting McClure's rescue live. A 1989 ABC television movie was made about the events: Everybody's Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure.

All big three television networks broke into their primetime programming to report McClure's rescue. ABC interrupted the sitcom I Married Dora, with Ted Koppel presiding the coverage, while CBS' Dan Rather cut off an hour episode of Beauty and the Beast (which was resumed in its entirety after the special report). NBC broke into Rags to Riches, with Connie Chung presenting the news coverage.

Then President Ronald Reagan said, "Everybody in America became godmothers and godfathers of Jessica while this was going on."

News of the successful rescue was shared across the nation in real-time. In Minnesota, the University of Minnesota Gopher football team was playing against the University of Indiana at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. A message was displayed on the Jumbotron to announce the successful rescue of “Baby Jessica,” to which the crowd began cheering. The Gophers lost the game 17-18.

In 1988, McClure and her parents appeared on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee to talk about the incident.

The 58 hour rescue of Jessica McClure Morales was big. The junk food media, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush gave this major coverage.

A photograph of McClure's rescue by Scott Shaw of the Odessa American received the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography.

Morales is best known as "Baby Jessica," who was rescued after she fell into a 22-foot well in 1987, when she was 18 months old. The world was riveted as rescuers worked for nearly 60 hours to free her.

Morales, now 40 years old, was arrested at her home in Texas on Saturday and charged with assault causing bodily injury involving family violence, according to records cited by multiple outlets.

Midway Wrap Up in May.
