Trump supporters came to Portland and one of them getting killed.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE! VOTE.
BE WARNED GRAPHIC IMAGES AND VIDEO
Donald J. Trump's rhetoric has sparked unrest across the nation. He can't blame Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the world's problems when he's the President of the United States. The responsibility of the country lies on the feet of Trump, period.
Portland has finally reached a boiling point when a terrorist shot and killed a far-right agitator.
The Patriot Prayer was a rally for Trump supporters to intimidate Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters in downtown Portland. During the weekend, there were clashes between these groups.
The victim, Aaron "Jay" Danielson was shot at point blank range by a white terrorist who identified himself as a member of Antifa.
The feds are searching for this terrorist and he will likely be charged with murder. He could face LIFE in the iron college if convicted of this.
Ted Wheeler condemns the violence and he blames rightfully Donald Trump for it.
Since the death of George Floyd, protests have continue to mount in the country.
One person was shot dead in Portland in a clash between rival protesters. Police, however, did not immediately link the shooting death to the protests https://t.co/ystK7rnNq8pic.twitter.com/HEzwg2Ui7H

The Radical Left Mayors & Governors of Cities where this crazy violence is taking place have lost control of their “Movement”. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, but the Anarchists & Agitators got carried away and don’t listen anymore - even forced Slow Joe out of basement!
Just watched what Biden had to say. To me, he’s blaming the Police far more than he’s blaming the Rioters, Anarchists, Agitators, and Looters, which he could never blame or he would lose the Radical Left Bernie supports!
Ted Wheeler, the mayor of Portland is condemning the violence and said directly that the fault of his city's unrest lies on Trump.
After Trump called Wheeler, a Democrat, a "fool" and blamed him for allowing violence to proliferate in the liberal city, the visibly angry mayor lashed out at the president, addressing him in the first person through the TV cameras.
"That’s classic Trump. Mr. President, how can you think that a comment like that, if you're watching this, is in any way helpful? It's an aggressive stance, it is not collaborative. I certainly reached out, I believe in a collaborative manner, by saying earlier that you need to do your part and I need to do my part and then we both need to be held accountable," Wheeler said.
"Let's work together. Wouldn't that be a message? Donald Trump and Ted Wheeler working together to help move this country forward. Why don't we try that for a change?"
The testy news conference followed a chaotic and volatile 24 hours in Portland that began when a caravan of about 600 vehicles packed with Trump supporters drove through Portland and was met with counter protesters. Skirmishes broke out between the groups and, about 15 minutes after the caravan left the city, a supporter of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer was fatally shot.
Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson identified the victim as Danielson. He called the victim a "good friend," but provided no further details. Danielson apparently also went by the name Jay Bishop, according to Patriot Prayer's Facebook page.
"We love Jay and he had such a huge heart. God bless him and the life he lived," Gibson said in a Facebook post.
Trump retweeted the victim’s name and wrote, "Rest in peace Jay!"
Police treat the shooting victim.
It wasn't clear if the shooting was related to the clashes between Trump supporters and counter-protesters in Portland, which has become a flashpoint in the national Black Lives Matter protests since George Floyd was killed in May and an increasing centerpiece in Trump's law-and-order re-election campaign theme.
Trump and other speakers at last week's Republican National Convention evoked a violent, dystopian future if Biden wins in November and pointed to Portland as a cautionary tale for what would be in store for Americans.
Police have released little information and Chief Chuck Lovell said Sunday that investigators are still gathering evidence, including surveillance video from area businesses. Earlier Sunday, the agency released a plea for any information related to the killing, including videos, photos or eyewitness accounts.
Patriot Prayer is based in Washington state and was founded in 2016. Since early 2017, its supporters have been periodically coming to Portland to hold rallies for Trump, ratcheting up tensions in the liberal city long before the national outrage over Floyd's death sparked more than three months of protests here.
Portland has seen nearly 100 consecutive nights of Black Lives Matter protests and many have ended with vandalism to federal and city property, including police precincts, a county jail, the federal courthouse and City Hall. In July, Trump sent more than 100 federal agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to safeguard federal property — a move that instead reinvigorated the protests.
Thousands of people clashed with the federal agents each night for two weeks, as agents lobbed tear gas canisters and pepper spray at the crowds and some protesters tossed fireworks at the agents and shined lasers in their eyes.
Those agents withdrew July 31 but smaller nightly protests have continued in pockets of the city. More than 600 people have been arrested since late May.
On Sunday, Portland authorities urged people to stay away from the downtown as they try to de-escalate tensions and braced for what promised to be another night of violence. A protest was planned for Sunday night on the city's east side.
A man's life is lost to gun violence. Even though, he was a far-right agitator, his life mattered too.
Late Sunday Oregon Gov. Kate Brown released details of a plan to address the violence in Portland while protecting free speech. She said the district attorney's office in Multnomah County, which includes Portland, will prosecute serious criminal offenses and the sheriff’s office will work with other agencies to hold people arrested for violent behavior and ensure there is adequate jail space. Also, Brown said Oregon State Police will return to Portland to help local police and nearby law enforcement agencies will also be asked to assist.
Trump earlier Sunday appeared to be encouraging his supporters to move into Portland in the wake of the shooting. After the shooting, the president shared a video of his supporters driving into Portland and called those in Saturday's caravan "GREAT PATRIOTS!"
Wheeler begged those who wanted to come to Portland to "seek retribution" to stay away.
"If you're from out of town and you're reading something on social media — if you're reading any facts on social media — they're probably wrong because we don't have all the facts yet," Wheeler said. "They are still assembling the facts. This is not the time to get hotheaded because you read something on Twitter that some guy made up in his mother's basement."
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf blamed local officials for failing "to protect their communities."
“I’m asking Portland officials, so that’s the mayor, that's the governor and that’s local law enforcement, to do their job to address any violent activity that is occurring in their streets," Wolf told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
Wolf said the federal government was prepared to send agents to Portland and other cities to protect federal buildings and assist police.
Lovell and Wheeler said they had no plans to request National Guard troops but the city is seeking assistance from the sheriff’s department and Oregon State Police.
Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
So far, more Black men and women are being killed by the police. I don't want to hear no talk about white suspects being killed far more. So far, the junk food media has spotlighted another Black man being shot by the police.
We have mass shootings in the United States everyday. We are the only country in the world that continues to do nothing about this. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
The legendary Master P is launching his own line of food products. He is launching this Black-owned food brand to replace Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's.
Percy Miller, the legendary founder of No Limit Records is a media mogul, activist, entrepreneur and actor. He is worth an estimated $245 million.
P launched the "Uncle P" food company which is going to offer consumers a Black-owned alternative to brands that use Black names and imagery, but don't give back to the Black communities.
P always believed that Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's were Black owned at one time. When found out that Mars Brands owns Uncle Ben's and Quaker owns Aunt Jemima, he said that he had to make something that Blacks can respectfully buy.
The Uncle P's Louisiana Seasoned products will hit the stores soon. He said, "There's No Limit To Success."
Uncle P will have pancake mix, syrup, oatmeal, grits, rice, beans, sweet tea and biscuits.
The Uncle P's brand will aim to create more job opportunity with upward mobility for Black people.
P said that he wants to use portions of the profits to restore and develop real estate in Black neighborhoods.
"If they made billions of dollars off Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben, imagine how much will make to give back to our own community. It'll be us helping us without having to wait for the government. We can actually change the world."
Master P made a music empire off a mere $10,000 malpractice settlement he got from his grandfather's death. From there he opened up a record store, started a record label, invested in various industries and still continues to be a huge influence in the country.
It would be nice to see Black-owned everyday in the United States. It would also be nice to more people of color elected to higher office. I mean the Congress has 56 members who are African American. There are two Republicans and 54 Democrats.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) are the only African American Republicans.
The Republican Party acts like that two members is a huge accomplishment. It's really not an accomplishment it's a setback for a party that struggled to win over African Americans.
Seeing that only 8% of the Black vote went to Donald J. Trump, we can't count on Black men like previous elections. We need to count on Black women to help bring Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House.
Leftist agitator and entertainer Michael Moore gets attention. He says Trump will blow out this election and leftists and far-right trolls seize on his remarks.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
VOTE
VOTE EARLY SAFELY VOTE MAIL-IN OR ABSENTEE VOTE IN-PERSON SAFELY DO NOT SIT THIS ELECTION OUT BECAUSE OF TROLLS AND AGITATORS IN THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA. THEY ARE DISTRACTIONS. WE CAN'T AFFORD FOUR MORE YEARS OF DONALD J. TRUMP/ VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS.
Why do they keep putting his ass on?
Black voters did not pick Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary. I don't get why these idiots can't see that. Joe Biden will likely not get the white vote anyway. These fools are killing us with ignorance and hatred of people of color.
White leftists and white conservatives are not friends of Black America. If Donald J. Trump is reelected, expect more violence and civil unrest. Expect those in the junk food media and politics to be targeted for violent attacks.
Entertainer Michael Moore once again gets the junk food media's attention.
Another worthless agitator who continues to piss pour on the parade of Democrats who are embolden to defeat Trump at the ballot box.
Moore, an actor, director and producer is a staunch supporter of Sanders posted on social media his thoughts of the candidates.
Sorry to have to provide the reality check again, but when they poll registered voters in the swing states, Biden & Trump are in a virtual tie. In Minn. it’s 47-47. In Michigan, where Biden had a big lead, Trump has closed the gap to 4pts. Are u ready for a Trump victory? ACT NOW pic.twitter.com/IA9vSFCZvl
Someone needs to pull the fire alarm NOW. Where are the stories about Trump gaining on Biden? Below’s a poll from Fri in Michigan. Last week Trump pulled within 4 pts of Biden. Now in one poll Trump is AHEAD of Biden in MI 47-45. Yet so many Dems convinced Trump’ll lose. DANGER! pic.twitter.com/UegNM5KxH2
He said get ready for another four years of Trump which set social media on fire.
Many of the far-right seized on the remarks and said "Hey, that asshole Michael Moore says that Trump will win." Many leftists 🌹 agitators agree with the notion as well.
Progressives are just sick and tired of these leftists. Most are wishing they stop inviting Moore on cable news. Matter of fact, I am sick and tired of hearing from Moore, Nina Turner, David Sirota, Katie Halper, Ryan Grim and Jeffrey Shaun King.
The polls are out and it does show that Trump has a 49.9% chance of winning reelection. The polls don't matter. It's matter of the electoral college which decides who becomes the President of the United States. If one candidate can earn 270 electoral votes, then they will be the president. The polls don't mean shit.
Moore is counting on Trump to win so he can boast about how he and many leftists were "right" when it comes to picking Sanders over Biden. Sanders would have been the most vulnerable candidate. Folks already hate him for hurting Hillary Clinton and of course, many are not willing to embrace democratic socialism in the United States. Folks are not buying into Sanders' envision of America.
We already have populism in the White House and it's led to where we're at now.
The coronavirus hasn't disappeared. It hasn't went away in the summer. The infection rate has soared over 6.8 million cases. The death count is over 200,000. The "miracles" that Trump and the FDA are throwing out are not tested well. States are sending students back to school and it's backfiring big time. Face masks are now a political issue.
People are acting foolish when asked to wear facial masks in facilities. Trust me, I've dealt with it multiple times with people who refuse to wear face mask at my job.
We have unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. We have unrest in Portland, Oregon. Since the deaths of George Floyd, Brenna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks and the shooting of Jacob Blake, Blacks are getting fed up with police/white vigilante violence.
White leftists are more concerned about things we're never gonna get passed in Congress with Republicans.
The Democrats can't get their act together. I mean it's frustrating to see leftists try to hurt Biden because they're not happy Sanders lost again. The primaries are over and we have a nominee.
Biden was always an underdog and he's not taking this for granted. I mean Biden knows the risk of allowing Trump and his allies dictate the message. Biden should punch harder and start resorting to the tactics of Trump.
He should ask for foreign help like Trump did with the Russian Federation.
Democrats should not take this election for granted. Don't believe the polls and don't listen to the noise. Campaign safely and make women of color the voice of Biden and Harris.
Black women will save the day. Don't count on white women, Black men or young voters. Democrats should court them but don't rely on this block. This block voted for Trump.
They ain't reliable anymore. Count on moderates, progressives, college educated, Black women and disgruntled Republicans. They seem to be the only rational folks so far.
Listen to Trevor Noah. He may be a comedian, satirist and agitator, but damn it, he's usually right on the far-right and leftist like Moore.
They nicknamed him Talcum X for a reason. He's a white scam artist and an agent of chaos.
This leftist agitator has been no friend of Black Lives Matter. He's been a peddler of misinformation about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He's been trifling and conniving.
A Twitter user by the name of @VeryWhiteGuy exposed the latest scam by Jeffrey Shaun King.
Shaun King is using Chadwicks death to sell books, he claims don’t make him any money. I’m so tired of SK profiting off of Black death. pic.twitter.com/XEd8s8tJd1

Hello My Friend,
I hope that you are hanging in there. Yesterday I sent an email checking in on everybody - and just a few hours later we learned of the death of Chadwick Boseman. Life is so very fragile. Tomorrow is not promised.
Over the past 6 years of the Black Lives Matter Movement I have traveled to 47 states - teaching, organizing, learning and leading. And for all 6 years, everywhere I go, people ask me, "Shaun, how do I actually use my life, my skills, my time, my energy to impact and change the world?"
Shaun King is trying to exploit the death of Chadwick Boseman for financial gains.
My book, MAKE CHANGE, is a 272 page answer to that question. It's not an autobiography. I tell my story, of course, but its actually a guide to help you through this exact moment that we are in right now. I am not here today to promote a product. I am here to promote a SOLUTION. An ANSWER. At a time when we desperately need clarity.
The book is available at every bookstore in the country. Online and off.
You can purchase it on Amazon here.
You can purchase it from independent and Black-owned bookstores here or here or her.
You can purchase it at Barnes and Noble here.
You can purchase the audiobook on Audible here.
You can purchase it at Books-A-Million here.
You can purchase it from Target here.
I just want you to have it in this moment. I wrote it for this moment. We now have over 700 5 star reviews on Amazon from readers who are putting the lessons to great use.
And listen - I hate to even have to say this - but when I write an email like this, it's not for profit, or personal gain. I don't make a dime off selling books. I was paid a year ago. I write these emails to help us on the same page.
Shaun King.
Besides that, he's a well-known supporter of failed candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in 2016 and 2020. He has been accused of raising money for causes without properly accounting for where the money went.
Grieved with my family, and 5 kids, for the past 24 hours over the death of Chadwick Boseman.
This morning when I decided to mention Chadwick in an email, I did it out of compassion for the 250,000+ readers of my close knit online community -not to sell books.
In September 2019, DeRay McKesson, a former ally to King wrote a Medium piece calling out King for the "lack of transparency" during the fundraising campaigns for the anti-police violence organization Justice Together and the North Star, a website that King and leftist Benjamin Dixon started but never completed.
It won't be long before the feds start looking into the fundraising that King's running.
King is constantly trying to profit off the deaths of Black men and women.
Just this week, he threatened violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin because the county prosecutor didn't name the cops involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake.
Listen to Black women. They know how King operates.
Listen to Malcolm Nance, the writer of The Plot to Hack America. He details far-right and leftist agitators who use Russian Active Measures in an attempt to help elect Donald J. Trump.
Nance has called out Jeffrey Shaun King, David Sirota, Nina Turner, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Tibabi, Ryan Grim, Katie Halper and Michael Moore as agents of chaos and distortion.
Reminder, this election is crucial and we need everyone on board to help elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We don't need the distractions like Shaun King.
Mentally ill troll Candace Owens is sharing baby news.
If she or any Black coonservatives are reading this...... Let this sink in!
BLACK LIVES MATTER
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
Controversial agitator announced she is pregnant.
Candace Owens announced on social media that she is expecting her first child with husband British barron George Farmer. She shared the news on social media. While sharing the good news, she had to make this shit another political matter.
The far-right troll spend the coronavirus pandemic getting prepared for motherhood. The troll has been on the bubble with Twitter and Facebook. The social media networks are facing heat.
Owens, a notorious troll online has been suspended numerous times for going too far with her political outbursts. She is one strike from a permanent ban on Twitter and Facebook is aware her rhetoric is considered hate speech.
She admits she used to be a pro-choice conservative. She no longer supports a woman's right to choice. In her post, she says she was "brainwashed" into believing that it was her body, and therefore it was her choice.
"I was amazed that our baby had arms and legs, hands and feet and was dancing around inside me. I was overcome by an inexorable sense of love followed by the powerful realization that I would do anything and everything to protect my unborn child," she said. "But I was mostly astonished that all those years ago in high school, I was lied to. I was brainwashed into believing that it was my body, and therefore, simply, my choice."
So if a rapist impregnates a woman, I guess she'll have to protect her unborn child.
Stupid woman.
If a woman is facing a medical emergency because of a pregnancy, would she just rather sacrifice her and her baby's life for a conservative moral stance.
An abortion is not something easy. It's a painful extraction of a fetus. It's something women regret but it has to be done for the sake of themselves, their bodies and their lives.
She decided to take aim at celebrities who blocked her on social media and Planned Parenthood.
While we wish her well on her journey to motherhood, her antics are disgusting. A disgusting troll who lives her life in the cesspool of hatred and bigotry.
The Black nationalist who acts like a crazy white woman.
Just remind yourself that, Chadwick Boseman died and I don't really have time to deal with this mentally ill Black woman.
Rest in power, T'Challa. Chadwick Boseman's life is being celebrated.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
News breaking overnight has rocked Hollywood. At the age of 43, Chadwick Boseman passed away from Stage IV colon cancer. His death being shared throughout social media. The iconic roles he played and the legacy he left behind.
I am saddened by the news of his passing. I was heading to work when I had to literally pull over and get a post out quickly so everyone who follows our blog got wind of it.
This is a huge story in the Black community. Boseman has touched so many lives through his works and no one can replace his role as King T'Challa, the Black Panther.
Being a graduate of the HBCU, Boseman always maintained true to his heart his love for Black colleges and university. He is a graduate of Howard University.
Chadwick had the strength and courage to film his roles while he was going through chemotherapy.
I’m heartbroken. Shocked. Husband, Father, Strategist, Philosopher-Poet, Warrior-Athlete, Filmmaker...your focus is magnetic, Kobe. My love goes out to you and your family. pic.twitter.com/MpKlVdjKV8
He is a true fighter who according to his family, "persevered through it all."
Boseman never talked about the cancer. When the junk food media spotted him on a recent outing, people were starting to notice that he was looking unusually thin.
He showed the world true "Blackness" and is a part of the movement we come to know as Black Lives Matter.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), the Democratic vice presidential nominee spoke on her friendship with Boseman when the news hit.
"My friend and fellow Bison Chadwick Boseman was brilliant, kind, learned, and humble. He left too early but his life made a difference. Sending my sincere condolences to his family."
Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee tweeted.
The true power of @ChadwickBoseman was bigger than anything we saw on screen. From the Black Panther to Jackie Robinson, he inspired generations and showed them they can be anything they want — even super heroes. Jill and I are praying for his loved ones at this difficult time.
Chadwick came to the White House to work with kids when he was playing Jackie Robinson. You could tell right away that he was blessed. To be young, gifted, and Black; to use that power to give them heroes to look up to; to do it all while in pain – what a use of his years. https://t.co/KazXV1e7l7
Before his passing, he had secretly married his longtime partner Taylor Simone Ledward.
Chadwick had touched so many lives.
Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina, a Republican had ordered the lowering of statehouse flags in honor of the native son of the state.
His death came on the day that Major League Baseball was celebrating the life of Jackie Robinson, a day that was usually celebrated on April 15 but was pushed back due to the coronavirus.
Many in the Marvel Universe are devastated by the news. No one knew about his silent struggle.
That's why it hurts so much. Chadwick didn't want to let people know because he didn't want people to feel sorry for him. He felt like Alex Trebek who is also facing Stage IV colon cancer. Keep going until you can't anymore.
Thank you Chadwick Boseman for being a hero to so many! You will be missed by me, LaReyna and those who loved you!
We will keep you informed about Chadwick Boseman's passing here on Journal de la Reyna.
Just heard on the news wires, Chadwick Boseman had passed away at the age of 43 after a battle with colon cancer.
The Black Panther star had a four-year battle with the colon cancer and kept it from the public.
The actor died at his home in Los Angeles with his wife and family by his side.
"A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have loves so much," his family said in a statement. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and several more- all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T'Challa to life in Black Panther."
This is huge. The Marvel Universe was preparing for the Black Panther 2 movie featuring him as T'Challa, the king of Wakanda and the Black Panther.
Chadwick Aaron Boseman was an American actor known for his portrayals of real-life historical figures such as Jackie Robinson in 42 (2013), James Brown in Get on Up (2014) and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall (2017), and for his portrayal of the superhero Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Captain America: Civil War (2016), Black Panther (2018), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019). He also appeared in films such as 21 Bridges (2019) and Da 5 Bloods (2020).
Boseman was born and raised in Anderson, South Carolina, to Carolyn and Leroy Boseman, both African American. According to Boseman, DNA testing has indicated that his ancestors were Krio people from Sierra Leone, Yoruba people from Nigeria and Limba people from Sierra Leone. His mother was a nurse and his father worked at a textile factory, managing an upholstery business as well.
Boseman graduated from T. L. Hanna High School in 1995.
In his junior year, he wrote his first play, Crossroads, and staged it at the school after a classmate was shot and killed.
Boseman attended college at Howard University in Washington, D.C., graduating in 2000 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in directing. One of his teachers was Phylicia Rashad, who became a mentor.
She helped raise funds so that Boseman and some classmates could attend the Oxford Mid-Summer Program of the British American Drama Academy in London, to which they had been accepted.
Boseman wanted to write and direct, and initially began studying acting to learn how to relate to actors. After he returned to the U.S., he graduated from New York City's Digital Film Academy.
He lived in Brooklyn at the start of his career. Boseman worked as the drama instructor in the Schomburg Junior Scholars Program, housed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, New York.
In 2008, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
Folks were wondering why he looked like he was losing weight so fast.
The recap of the longest night in television. Donald J. Trump delivers the longest acceptance speech of his time.
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
BLACK LIVES MATTER
The 70-minute acceptance speech by Donald J. Trump was a long rant of grievances against Joe Biden. Not much is said other than he promise to "Make America Great Again" despite having nearly four years to do so.
Trump held his acceptance speech on the South Lawn of the White House and held fireworks with TRUMP 2020 spelled out in sequence.
The closing of the Republican National Convention gives Trump a chance to accept his presidential nomination and Mike Pence his vice presidential nomination. The two celebrated with 1,500 attendees at this event.
Many weren't wearing mask or practicing in social distancing. Some say this could be a superspreader event.
Already folks are looking at Rudy Giuliani being infected by the coronavirus.
They also mocked Melania's dress. Her green dress was green and it was fodder for mockery.
Melania Trump wore a lime green dress to the last night of the RNC Convention. Apparently that makes it easy to photoshop. 🤦🏾♂️pic.twitter.com/l3hmaafhmK
There were blaring sirens and horns going off during the acceptance speech. You'll hear that in some of the acceptance speech.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Georgia state representative Vernon Jones (D) were shouted down by Black Lives Matter protesters.
WATCH: Protesters confronted Kentucky Senator Rand Paul after attending the RNC at the White House, shouting at the lawmaker to acknowledge the shooting of Breonna Taylor https://t.co/JmxvZJy29upic.twitter.com/tTONwewPcR
The highlights of day four included speeches from Ivanka Trump, Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Alice Johnson, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Ben Carson, Rudy Giuliani and Ja'Ron Smith.
Let's just cut to the chase: BORING. NOT INTERESTED. LET THAT SOAK IN!
I was pretty bored with the Republican National Convention. I slept through some of the speeches.
Especially the one Ivanka Trump gave.
The ratings are in and Joe Biden beat Donald J. Trump by 4 million viewers.
Trump gave one of the longest acceptance speeches in modern history. He immediately went into his speech determined.
Nonetheless, you can watch the recap of the Republican National Convention here.
