If Joe Biden, Barack Obama or Bill Clinton done this, you would hear endless griping from Fox, Newsmax, Republicans and the agitators of far right gaslighting us about how the taxpayers are always footing the bill for some dumb shit.
The UFC confirms it will host an event at The White House. While people are complaining about the price of gas, the price of groceries, the price of insurance premiums, the frustration with their jobs, the frustration with elitism, President Donald J. Trump, a damn near 80 year old curmudgeon spending millions to host an event with his billionaire buddies Dana White and Vince McManon.
Who's gonna have the money to pay for this shit?
Iran vows to make the United States pay for their aggression. Iran is willing to cripple the world's economy to put the spotlight on how white supremacy is affecting everyone.
The U.S., Israel and Russia are the most hated countries.
Crews are erecting an octagon-shaped cage on the South Lawn that will host next month’s UFC bout, helping mark the nation’s 250th anniversary — and President Donald Trump ‘s 80th birthday.
Online renderings depict what the completed, wire-mesh-fence-ringed fight space is expected to look like ahead of the June 14 event. It will be ringed by a red, white and blue stage under a towering arch featuring stars and stripes patterns and two large screens carrying the action live.
The cage and stage will themselves be surrounded by thousands of temporary seats, including ringside space for a full marching band that can set the entire scene to blaring music.
The project is part of a series of events celebrating the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence’s signing on July 4, 1776. Other planned functions include an IndyCar race that will pass by the White House and the Great American State Fair taking place on the National Mall.
Trump has said that the finished UFC project will feature “a 5,000-seat arena right outside the front door of the White House.” Additional large screens broadcasting the fights will be set up in a park at the nearby Ellipse, and the UFC has said it plans to issue as many as 85,000 free tickets to accommodate spectators at both locations.
“I have never seen anybody want anything so much as people want those tickets,” Trump said recently of demand to attend the UFC fight, adding, “That’s gonna be something.”
The card has been panned by fans online as underwhelming, featuring just two championship fights. Brazil’s Alex Pereira will meet France’s Ciryl Gane for the interim UFC heavyweight title. Then Spanish-Georgian lightweight champion Ilia Topuria takes on interim champ Justin Gaethje, one of just two Americans who currently hold even a share of the UFC’s 11 championship belts.
The octagon and surrounding structures are the latest project in the White House building boom Trump is leading.
The president’s other efforts to leave his mark include tearing up part of the Rose Garden to make room for a patio space reminiscent of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, affixing partisan plaques to the wall of the colonnade for a Presidential Walk of Fame, redoing the bathroom attached to the Lincoln Bedroom and renovating the Palm Room, placing new flag poles on the north and south lawns and demolishing the entire East Wing for a sprawling ballroom.
The president also wants to repaint the Eisenhower Executive Office Building beside the White House and build a 250-foot arch at the nearby Lincoln Memorial — the same monument where weigh-ins for the upcoming UFC fight are scheduled to take place, bout organizers say.
President Donald J. Trump wants to spread his version of freedom in The North.
He literally threatened to make Canada the 51st State.
Far right politicians who oppose Prime Minister Mark Carney are trying to break from the dominion. Canada made of 10 provinces and three territories is the second largest land mass in the world.
Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are the states that border Canada either through land or water.
Russia, United States, Norway, Greenland, the French territory St. Pierre and Miquelon border Canada.
British Colombia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon make up the Dominion.
Ontario is the most populated province. The largest city is Toronto.
The national capital is Ottawa, located in Ontario is the fourth largest city that is not a federal district.
Quebec is the only province with 94% of its residents speaking French. 6% speak multi languages. New Brunswick has 35% of its residents speaking French. Ontario has 10% speaking French.
Most of Canada is remote. So if you get lost, you are lost.
Quebec is trying to form their own government where they can oversee their own values.
Alberta, the Canadian equivalent to Idaho and Oklahoma want to break away and have autonomy with the United States.
Carney on Monday compared Alberta’s vote on whether to move toward independence to Brexit, calling it a potential “dangerous bluff.”
Carney said if Alberta does it, they could lose big time.
Danielle Smith, the premier of Canada’s oil-rich province of Alberta, said last week a vote would be held Oct. 19 on whether Alberta should stay in Canada or take legal steps under the Constitution to hold a binding referendum on leaving.
Carney drew on his experience with Brexit in his comments. Carney was the governor of the Bank of England in 2016 when Britain voted to leave the European Union, and he helped navigate the central bank through it.
“I saw firsthand what happened in the United Kingdom when the view was, ‘Vote for this, it’ll be soft and then we’ll negotiate, etc.,’ Carney said. “They’re still 10 years later trying to undo what people didn’t think they were voting for, but what they ended up having.”
Smith’s party didn’t run on or mention a referendum in the last provincial election campaign.
Carney said the vote is not helpful when he’s trying to attract investment to Canada. He suggested it is undemocratic.
“Is it the democratic will of Albertans? Did they vote for this in the last provincial election? No, they didn’t. It wasn’t on the ballot paper,” Carney said.
Smith has said she supports Alberta remaining in Canada. Some have compared her stance to the one of Britain’s then-Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of the Brexit referendum, which he embraced as a way to manage a vocal faction of his ruling party while not wanting the U.K. to leave the European Union.
Carney is working on getting a new oil pipeline built from Alberta to Canada’s Pacific coast. Many Albertans have long complained that Ottawa hasn’t done enough to get Alberta’s vast oil reserves to Asian markets.
“We have to be very careful about this. There’s a very strong positive case for Canada, a strong Alberta in a united Canada,” Carney said. “I look forward to making that case with many, many other Albertans and Canadians over the course of the next 150 days.”
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is not in favor of separation.
Responding to Carney’s comments Monday, Smith said separation is an issue for Albertans alone to decide.
“Albertans’ frustrations have been fueled by the last 10 years of disastrous policies from Ottawa under … Justin Trudeau,” Smith said in a statement from her office, referencing the previous prime minister.
“I would also remind all Canadians that we should not dismiss the legitimate grievances of Albertans. Instead, we should focus on addressing these issues, restoring hope in Canada, and demonstrating that our country can work and is working.”
if Alberta leaves the dominion. All its citizens could lose citizenship. They will have to give up their passports and pay for new passports to enter Canada or the United States.
Also the indigenous First Nation residents will likely oppose a move as it violates their sovereignty.
The tax revenue from Ottawa will likely dry up and the Canadian government will no longer provide assistance or financial support to Alberta.
Albertans will have to debate on whether they establish their own confederation where some may eventually protest it and violently fight to stay Canadian.
Others will have to make arrangements to assure their lives are not upended through an independence movement.
It is a colossal mess and I believe the U.S. and Israeli interests are involved in this.
Israel wants to put a footprint in Alberta.
Edmonton is the capital of Alberta. It has a population of 693,000 residents.
Are you still gonna name future Interstate 47 after Trump?
James Talarico will have a challenge. He will have to prove to Texas that Democrats can improve the Long Star State. He will now have a Republican opponent who will run on the same energy President Donald J. Trump had.
Attorney General Ken Paxton will be the Republican senate nominee defeating incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
Paxton won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, defeating four-term Cornyn in the latest contest where Trump sought to defeat an incumbent he saw as not sufficiently loyal.
Trump endorsed Paxton last week. Paxton’s victory in Tuesday’s runoff makes Cornyn the first Republican senator from Texas to lose the party’s nomination for reelection.
Cheers rang through the ballroom at Paxton’s election night party when the race was called, as Van Halen’s “Jump” played and the stage filled with supporters holding Paxton campaign signs.
Cornyn’s campaign and allied groups spent roughly $109 million on advertising for the March 3 primary and Tuesday’s runoff. He had the backing of Senate GOP leaders who said he would be the stronger general election candidate.
But Trump endorsed Paxton as part of his effort to dislodge GOP officeholders he views as less than devout in their support of him. Cornyn said in 2023 as Trump was running to return to the White House that his time “has passed him by.”
Paxton will run against Talarico in November.
Tuesday’s runoffs also will decide Democratic U.S. House nominees for districts in Dallas and Houston that overwhelmingly support Democrats, and a San Antonio-area seat the party wants to flip.
The Paxton Express.
The primary has been long and costly
Cornyn led Paxton in the March primary but failed to win a majority. That was after Cornyn and his supporters waged a monthslong ad campaign, mostly attacking Paxton over ethical and personal questions. The two-term attorney general was acquitted on corruption charges in a 2023 impeachment trial, where allegations of extramarital affairs surfaced. Paxton’s wife filed for divorce last year, citing “biblical grounds.”
The alliance of pro-Cornyn groups has continued its attack, outspending Paxton’s campaign and two allied super PACs $16.5 million to $5.9 million since March 3, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact.
Trump promised to endorse immediately after the primary but didn’t act until after early voting began last week.
“Ken Paxton has gone through a lot, in many cases, very unfairly, but he is a Fighter, and knows how to win,” Trump wrote in a social media post endorsing him.
David Jacobson, a retired 70-year-old Dallas-area resident, said Trump’s endorsement was a factor in his decision to back Paxton on Tuesday. While Cornyn has for the most part been a strong Trump supporter, Jacobson generally thinks most politicians have remained in office too long.
“Maybe it’s time for a change,” he said after voting near Dallas.
Linda Williams said she voted for Cornyn, calling him “the lesser of two evils.” She thinks Cornyn has a better chance to beat Talarico this fall.
“Because Paxton is a crook,” Williams said after voting in Plano, outside Dallas.
Trump snubs Cornyn amid retribution campaign
Trump, in his endorsement, poked at Cornyn, saying he “was not supportive of me when times were tough” and that “John was very late in backing me.”
Cornyn suggested in 2023 that Trump could not win the presidency again in 2024 and that his “time has passed him by.” He also was an early critic of Trump’s plan for a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico — a project he now supports.
Cornyn said Tuesday on Fox News Radio’s “The Brian Kilmeade Show” that the president’s ire was misplaced. There are “grifters,” he said, “claiming that I am opposed to the president’s agenda, and I think that’s caused some confusion with the president himself. But I’ve been supportive.”
Some GOP strategists have argued that a Paxton nomination would cost millions of dollars more to promote in the fall, when money could be spent defending Republican seats in more competitive states. Democrats need to gain a net of four seats to take the majority. Cornyn has the support of Senate GOP leaders.
Rep. Christian Menefee (D-TX) beats Rep. Al Green (D-TX). Green tried a desperate play to run in a district that Menefee just won in a special election.
Democrats also will choose US House nominees
Newly elected Rep. Christian Menefee defeated veteran Rep. Al Green in Texas’ 18th District, dispatching a longtime House incumbent who was one of Trump’s most outspoken critics. The Republican-led Texas Legislature redrew the district when it approved a new House map last year. The new map led to a runoff between incumbents and marks the end of a dizzying series of elections in the Houston area.
Former Rep. Colin Allred and U.S. Rep. Julie Johnson are competing in the Dallas-area 33rd District. Johnson was elected to the seat in 2024, the year Allred lost his U.S. Senate challenge to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. Allred was running for Senate again this cycle but dropped his bid and instead is looking to return to the House.
Near San Antonio, Democratic leaders are trying to prevent Maureen Galindo, who has expressed antisemitic views, from winning the party’s runoff with Johnny Garcia. While Texas lawmakers redrew the 35th District to help Republicans, Democrats view it as within reach and don’t want Galindo’s past comments to impede them.
Again, the Democrats and Republicans are more upset over Galindo calling for the jailing of Zionists than a bunch of lawmakers funding a fucking genocide.
Don't give me that bullshit about respect one another when it comes to politics?
Y'all still calling us the word with the "-er" and think about us like we are the biggest threat to your daily life. Hate to break it to you buddy boy and buddy girl, "we just want to be left alone."
But you keep pushing....
And pushing....
And then when divine intervention happens, you want the world to be nice and sympathetic. Since Google restrict certain themes, I am not allowed to discuss certain elements thanks to the foreign nation that got the U.S. into an endless war.
Y'all paying high gas, high groceries, high insurance premiums, high rent, high commedities and you still riding with this fool.
You do you.
Hell, I hope you don't get screwed by that fool. Because the fool will never meet you.
He will use you as a prop and then discard you and move on to the next theme.
Fox and Newsmax don't give two coins about you either. By watching them, you are practically protecting the elite. Whereas Sean "Softball" Hannity is swimming in his $40 million dollar mansion in Florida while you are struggling to put $70 into your ride.
Pretty obsessive.
C'mon man.
Y'all were calling all that support for Barack Obama a cult. Now you got people over here decorating their homes, putting up statues and buying merchandise with the likeness.
Donald John Trump, Sr., the 45th/47th President Of The United States does not give a fuck about you, me, his own children and his own wife. He cares about his curmudgeon legacy.
For the next two years, we will deal with the possibility of an economic collapse, global war and a civil war.
Waving around flags, celebrating the 250 years of white supremacy and colonialism and decking out your home with Trump propaganda is your free speech. I am not here to stop you from worshiping an idiot.
But be careful how you approach people. Some people will bring their ancestors out and take your ass out. I mean Chud The Builder, you got anything to say about it?
Nevermind.
Hey, where's Charlie Kirk at?
Oh, I forgot. Psyche, I didn't.
San Diego man gets a curb stomping after a confrontation with a critic. He dies and the suspect faces second degree murder. His wife now a widow vows to keep his legacy of decking out their home with American flags and tributes to President Donald J. Trump going.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Suspect being held on assault charges. Now that the victim died, murder
Maria Sheron says her husband is fighting for his life, and doctors are asking her to make an impossible decision, this after Kerry Sheron, a 69-year-old army vet, was jumped and beaten nearly to death outside of their Escondido home.
Sheron, a passionate Trump supporter, has been well known in town for rallying outside his house daily, supporting Donald Trump. Neighbors picking up where Kerry left off, with dozens of Trump supporters gathering outside the Sheron home, carrying flags and wearing MAGA hats to show their support for Trump and the Sheron family.
Investigators in the attack have identified no official motive, but neighbors who are Trump supporters believe the violence was politically inspired.
“If we don’t have freedom to put flags on our own homes, then we don’t have freedom,” said Christine Browne, a Trump supporter who drove from an hour away to be here.
“Things were not like this. People were not fighting about race, people were not fighting about political beliefs. My own daughter won’t talk to me and has not talked to me in a year, because of my political beliefs,” said neighbor Cheryl Piner.
Neighbors gathered to pray for Kerry and Maria.
“We are going to show him we love him and support him and that’s why we are here.”
The organizer of the Vigil and Trump Rally says he needed to show a way to help the Sheron family.
Newsflash, prayers don't pay the bills or feed the families. Fucking platitudes.
I got a toothache, you can't pray that away. It requires a dentist or orthodontist to get proper care. No amount of quack science can stop a toothache. Even I can't pray that away nor delay it forever.
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota are called the Rust Belt.
Cities like Dayton, Akron, Fort Wayne, Flint, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Youngstown, Gary, Racine, Milwaukee, Saginaw, Midland, Evansville, Peoria, Springfield (Illinois), St. Louis, Davenport, Toledo, Huntington, Charleston (West Virginia), Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton, Syracuse Wheeling, Washington (Pennsylvania), Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Allentown, Altoona, Johnstown, Birmingham and Knoxville are often labeled Rust Belt cities.
Is there a possible migration wave?
The Sun Belt is being overwhelmed. People who are leaving the Rust Belt for the warmth, limited regulations and likely racism, are now being burdened with the cost of living, the deadlier weather events, unpopular politicians and buyer's remorse are now trying to return.
It is affordable for people to live in the Rust Belt. But when people are migrating back to the region, it drives up costs.
Capitalism at its worst.
The Rust Belt experienced industrial decline beginning in the 1950s and 1960s, with manufacturing peaking as a percentage of U.S. GDP in 1953 and declining incrementally in subsequent years and especially in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Demand for coal declined as industry turned to oil and natural gas, and U.S. steel was undercut by competition from Germany and Japan. High labor costs in the Rust Belt were also a factor in encouraging the region's heavy manufacturing companies to relocate to the Sun Belt or overseas or to discontinue entirely. The U.S. automotive industry also declined as consumers turned to fuel-efficient foreign-manufactured vehicles after the 1973 oil crisis raised the cost of gasoline and foreign auto manufacturers began opening factories in the U.S., which were largely not strongly unionized like the U.S. auto manufacturers in the Rust Belt. Families moved away from Rust Belt communities, leaving cities with falling tax revenues, declining infrastructure, and abandoned buildings.
Major Rust Belt cities include Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rochester, and St. Louis. New England was also hit hard by industrial decline, but cities closer to the East Coast, including in the metropolitan areas of Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. were able to quickly adapt by diversifying or transforming their economies, shifting to services, advanced manufacturing, and high-tech industries.
Similarly, parts of cities otherwise unaffected by the Rust Belt declined as a result of industrial dependence; such as Gert Town in New Orleans and South Los Angeles.
Since the 1980s, presidential candidates have devoted much of their time to the economic concerns of the Rust Belt region, which includes several populous swing states, including Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These states were crucial to Republican Donald Trump's victories in the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections.
CBS ruffled by Colbert hosting a parody of his former show.
Stephen Colbert may have lost his late night program but the comedian is not done.
He has made a surprise return to the independent circuit and CBS is big mad.
Only in Monroe, a real public access program had Colbert return to hosting. He had famed Michigan celebrities Jeff Daniels, Jack White and Eminem as his guests.
On Thursday, the Late Show came to an emotional end. Colbert and his final guest, Sir. Paul McCartney have made a public diss of Larry and his son David Ellison.
CBS immediately filled the gap by adding Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed, a syndicated program that promises to keep it about jokes and not politics.
Paramount Skydance was trying to pull Only in Monroe programs because they wanted to claim them as segments of The Late Show.
The episode also included appearances by the regular hosts of the show, Michelle Baumann and Kaye Lani Rafko-Wilson. Together with Colbert and White, they cheers with shots of River Raisin Distillery spirits "to Michigan and all of its lakes and tributaries." Later, they imbibe in shots of helium while discussing Baumann's experience with cancer. She is in remission, she said on the show.
Monroe, a city located in southern Michigan is a midpoint between Detroit and Toledo.
The feud between Ted Cruz and President Donald J. Trump starts again.
As we enter Memorial Day, the unofficial start of Summer, Americans are angry at the prices of gas, the prices of groceries, the closing of long established companies and the tone deaf politicians, entertainers, athletes and influencers telling you to get over it.
This aggression with Iran was a huge mistake and it will be sealed in Donald J. Trump's curmudgeon legacy.
Did you know Americans are cutting off friends and family members who support the president?
The 45th/47th President Of The United States is ranked 44 of 45 men who served as the American president. Trump is the worst president of the 21st Century. Followed by George W. Bush and Joe Biden, Trump has finally made me and probably others believe that white men are the reasons why our country is fucked up.
I am starting to realize that white men as the president has lead us to endless conflicts, massive debt and policies that are not moving our country forward. The presidents of past and current often want to be the leader of the world.
It is time for the U.S. to stop being the global leader and be a global partner. It is time for the world to see the United States as a problem. Rolling back freedoms, violating domestic and international laws have put concerns on our status as a functional democracy.
We may be at the risk of a civil war.
Republicans are angered over the president announcing a possible permanent ceasefire with Iran.
Iran has dismissed this claiming its an attempt to drive markets come Tuesday.
The hardline pro Israel, pro war and pro vilify critics wing of the Republican Party are pissed that the president is considering "caving" Iran.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) sparred with one of Trump's outside advisers on social media Saturday after indicating he was “deeply concerned” about the terms of an emerging deal between the U.S. and Iran.
“I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran ‘deal,’ being pushed by some voices in the administration,” Cruz wrote on the social platform X.
Trump announced earlier in the day that a peace agreement with Tehran had been “largely negotiated” and would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but offered few details otherwise.
“Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He notably made no mention of what would happen with Iran’s nuclear program or its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which had long been a sticking point in stalled negotiations. Senior Trump administration officials justified the initial strikes in late February by claiming the country posed an imminent nuclear threat to the U.S.
If it is perceived in the region that a deal with Iran allows the regime to survive and become more powerful over time, we will have poured gasoline on the conflicts in Lebanon and Iraq.
A deal that is perceived to allow Iran to survive and possess the ability to control the…
I am deeply concerned about what we are hearing about an Iran “deal,” being pushed by some voices in the administration.
President Trump’s decision to strike Iran was the most consequential decision of his second term. He was right to do so, and we achieved extraordinary…
“One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration,” Trump wrote. “It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. Not so with the transaction currently being negotiated with Iran by the Trump Administration – THE EXACT OPPOSITE, in fact!”
Cruz called that February decision “the most consequential” of Trump’s second term, arguing it had achieved “extraordinary military results,” including the purported destruction of Iran’s missiles, drones and navy.
“If the result of all that is to be an Iranian regime—still run by Islamists who chant ‘death to America’—now receiving billions of dollars, being able to enrich uranium & develop nuclear weapons, and having effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, then that outcome would be a disastrous mistake,” the senator wrote.
His criticism echoed that of several other hawkish Senate Republicans who also argued on Saturday that any deal that allows the current Iranian regime to remain in power could embolden them — a rare moment of discord between the president and his usually steadfast GOP allies.
That assessment did not sit well with Alex Bruesewitz, an outside adviser who was the architect of Trump’s podcast strategy in the 2024 presidential campaign.
“Cool, Ted. No one asked you, bro,” Bruesewitz responded on X, accusing Cruz of trying to undermine the president and his administration.
“Hush, child. The adults are talking,” Cruz shot back. “I’m not your ‘bro.’ And young political grifters pushing Iran appeasement are not remotely helping the President.”
Bruesewitz labeled the Texas Republican a “clown” in a separate post, saying he had “zero clue” what is in the deal.
“Ted is a do-nothing Senator rushing out ahead of the potential deal because he’s already positioning for 2028 and plans to use this as a wedge against our candidate,” he wrote. “The deal could be the greatest deal in the world (which it might be!) and he would still complain about it.”
The proposed deal framework would officially declare an end to the nearly three-month conflict and establish 60 days of negotiation on Iran’s nuclear program, a regional official with direct knowledge of the Pakistan-led mediation efforts told The Associated Press.
It would also see the Strait of Hormuz reopened and the U.S. lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports, according to the outlet.
Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Rick Scott (R-FL), John Fetterman (I-PA), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Katie Britt (R-AL) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) are the most fiercest supporters of Israel. They often vote in favor of unlimited access to the president and Israel.
More Americans are starting to believe Trump is staging these assassination attempts. A gunman fires shots around the White House.
Okay, the United States is the most violent country on the freaking planet. The old saying don't get comfortable really, really means something.
Can't these assholes just place the blame on the shooter and the fucking lawmakers who made it easier for people gassed up to own firearms?
Okay I haven't covered every mass shooting in the U.S.
Since Jan. 1 to May 24, we have over 190 mass shootings. That is more than days on a fucking calendar.
Any city in bold is multiple incidents. Any city that is large text means bigger crisis.

You know something. We shouldn't be having this everyday in the country. They want to repeal the 14th Amendment. You know what?
Maybe they should repeal the Second Amendment.
Will these people stop trying to kill the fucking President of the United States?
Yeah, he is a seditionist, war mongering, thin skinned, sexual predator, serial liar, insensitive asshole. He turns 80 in June. He is the very definition white privilege, entitlement, a two tier justice system, an incompetent governance, endless chaos and the reasons why white men are the problem in the United States.
Chaos didn't begin with President Donald J. Trump. It began when Congress failed to do something like controlling gun violence. America is numb to this.
Donald John Trump, Sr., a curmudgeon who rather stay in power and continue lining his pockets for his disgraceful, ungrateful children. The president skipped the wedding of his eldest son Donald Trump, Jr. and Bettina Anderson.
The president announced that the U.S. and Iran came to an agreement. Now I do not seriously believe the president worked out an agreement. It is a desperation to calm markets as the Summer drive season kicks off as Memorial Day weekend begins.
So tonight, the president, Vice President JD Vance, Congress, Washington, DC mayor Muriel Bowser, Secret Service, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel and interim Justice Department Secretary Todd Blanche will react.
The second or third attempt on the president. I lost count.
I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now. pic.twitter.com/iqdQwh4soq
Should I care whether the far right will blame this on the so-called left or the anti-pedos?
Anyway.
A person who opened fire Saturday on a White House security checkpoint is dead after being shot by officers who returned fire, the U.S. Secret Service said. It was the third incidence of gunfire in the vicinity of President Donald Trump in the past month.
The law enforcement agency said in a preliminary statement posted on X that the person in the area of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue “pulled a weapon from his bag” shortly after 6 p.m. ET and began firing. The officers returned fire, hitting the suspect, who was taken to a hospital where he later died, the Secret Service said.
The suspect was identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best, said a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation.
According to District of Columbia court records, Best was arrested in July 2025 after he attempted to enter a different White House checkpoint without authorization, didn’t heed officers’ commands to stop, “claimed he was Jesus Christ” and said he wanted to be arrested.
An initial hearing was held, and a “Pretrial Stay Away Order” was issued, typically a measure ordering a defendant not to go near a person or area ahead of trial. A bench warrant was issued in August after a notice of “noncompliance” against Best, who did not show up for a subsequent hearing.
It was the third time in the past month that gunfire has broken out near the president following incidents at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in April and near the Washington Monument earlier in May.
A bystander was shot by the Secret Service.
A bystander was also struck on Saturday, but a law enforcement official said it wasn’t clear whether that person was struck by the suspect’s initial bullets or those fired subsequently by officers.
Secret Service said none of its officers were injured, and that Trump — who was at the White House at the time — was not “impacted.”

Journalists working at the White House on Saturday evening reported hearing a series of gunshots and were told to seek shelter inside the press briefing room.
In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel said officers were responding to shots fired and said he would “update the public as we’re able.”
Evidence of the shooting was visible on a sidewalk just outside the White House complex, where yellow crime scene tape snaked across the pavement and officers with the U.S. Secret Service placed dozens of orange evidence markers on the ground. Medical material, including what appeared to be purple surgical gloves and kits typically used by emergency medical personnel, were also seen.
In a post shared on X, ABC News senior White House correspondent Selina Wang shared dramatic video of the moment she said she heard what “sounded like dozens of gunshots” and ducked for cover. Writing that she had been performing a routine task that White House reporters do daily — filming themselves on a cellphone for a social media post — Wang’s video shows her speaking for a few seconds about Trump’s statements earlier Saturday about a potential Iran deal.
As the sounds of gunfire are heard in the background, Wang’s eyes grow wider, and she ducks down in the media tent, which is among those situated in a line along the White House driveway where broadcasters film their reports. On X, Wang’s video had been shared thousands of times as of Saturday evening, and viewed at least 3 million times.
The Metropolitan Police Department said on its X account that the Secret Service was working the scene and cautioned people to avoid the area. The scene is near where a gunman ambushed two members of the West Virginia National Guard last November.
U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died from her wounds. Andrew Wolfe, then 24, was critically wounded. Rahmanullah Lakanwal has been charged in that incident.
Nasire Best is the alleged shooter. Will the far right calling him a leftist, thug or a mentally ill shooter?
The gunfire Saturday comes nearly a month after what law enforcement authorities said was an attempted assassination of the president on April 25 as he attended the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at a Washington hotel. Cole Tomas Allen, of Torrance, California, recently pleaded not guilty to charges that he attempted to kill Trump and remains in federal custody.
Following that scare, Secret Service officers shot a suspect they said had fired at officers near the Washington Monument, also near the White House. Michael Marx, 45, of Midland, Texas, was charged in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in connection with the May 4 shooting. A teenage bystander was wounded in that incident.
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 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.
Trump is the cause of chaos.
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.
A man made crisis that can be solved if these incompetent politicians and media agitators stop making excuses for the continued gun violence epidemic. Prayers are just words and speeches. Instead offering words, how about policies?
The United States is downsizing in democracy and freedom.
I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.
A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence. Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers", "send them back" with a touch of "lock em up."
Gun violence continues to be the number one threat in the United States.
I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.
According to the far right: White shooters are always mentally ill or lone wolves. The far right believes they should receive some sympathy for their crimes. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals who deserve lengthy time in the iron college or death. Gay and transgender shooters are active groomers who want to be pedophiles on children. Muslim shooters are terrorists who should be surveiled or deported. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants and they should be deported. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [leftist or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the politics of the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the ridiculous "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black. Even if the evidence turns out that the shooter has alignment with conservative causes or Republicans, the far right dismisses it as a hoax or a plot to demonize the MAGA movement.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.
Trump gave us open season.
WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
IF THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO AID ISRAEL, THE WORLD WILL BOYCOTT THE U.S. AND ABANDON THE DOLLAR!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
Iran isn't a threat. The U.S. citizen with a firearm is the threat.
People, please do not resort to the levels of those who profit off the anger. The anger of right wing Americans in the wake of white nationalist Charlie Kirk's death has sparked a censorship and harassment campaign.

Let me be clear: I do not condone violence towards to politicians, media personalities, animals and property. I am not condemning things any longer. I am getting tired of putting empathy on antipathy.
Any current or future government shutdown will definitely rile up people. When you start fucking with the money, people start going crazy. Especially when their needs outmatch the noise of Congress and the junk food media.
If you care about the future and want to voice your frustration with your federal officials, let 2026 be the call to action.
The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.
The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. You want no more qualified immunity for police officers who use deadly force when it's not justified. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want the U.S. to improve the immigration process. You want the U.S. lawmakers stop dehumanizing human beings. You want 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.
IRAN IS RIGHT! THE UNITED STATES HAS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE INSTALLED WITH A SIXTH GRADE EDUCATION. AMERICANS MAKE SO MUCH MONEY OFF OF DIVISION. THEY ARE WILLING TO SOW CHAOS TO THE NEXT POTENTIAL THREATS. I WISH WE CAN STOP GASLIGHTING AND COME TO SENSIBLE SOLUTIONS. HOWEVER, WHITE LEADERSHIP IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF THE CHAOS IN THE WORLD.
