The Midway Wrap Up!

Could it be the end of the road come November?

Well it appears to be five months in and six months to go before the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump will square off again.

Okay, we made it through the first five months.

We also have the four year anniversary of the tragic death of George Floyd. The five year anniversary of the Dayton, Ohio tornado outbreak. Five years ago Trump was caught up in a scandal where had Rudy Giuliani, Lev Parnas, Igor Furman, John Solomon and Steve Bannon try to spin a scandal about Biden. Trump tried to extort Volodymyr Zelenskyy into pursuing an investigation into Biden and his son Hunter.

So instead of giving you a long reading. I am going to post the winners and losers so far this year and I hope that in the next six months we will see improvements or a total disaster.

We have hip-hop feuds between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Drake had falling outs with A$AP Rocky, Future, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross and the Weeknd. 

We have hip-hop feuds between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion, Ice Spice and Latto, Chris Brown and Quavo, Eminem and Benzino and the Breakfast Club with RadioOne.

Trump had his first criminal trial which means he goes face to face with Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen, David Pecker and Karen McDougal. Trump was convicted. He becomes the first U.S. former president to be held criminally accountable for his actions. 

He will face a sentencing about the time of the Republican Party National Convention in Milwaukee.

He was ordered to pay a nearly $450 million fines which he is appealing in his financial fraud trial. He also is trying to get the Supreme Court to rule in his favor as the Jack Smith indictments pause because of Trump's ridiculous claims of immunity from crimes.

University of Michigan Wolverines despite allegations of spying on Penn State, Ohio State and University of Wisconsin's plays ended up going undefeated. The Big 10 Team finally pulled it off. Jim Harbaugh retired soon after. He is returning to the NFL to coach the Los Angeles Chargers

We have to congratulate the Kansas City Chiefs for another Super Bowl victory. The far right hates Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and believe that she could impact the 2024 presidential election. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes signed on for another three years. The Chiefs are petitioning for a new stadium.

Joe Madison, the iconic Black entertainer and talk radio host passed away from cancer. 

The loss of Madison puts a dent in Biden's outreach to Black America. Biden will bypass Ohio Republicans after they stalled his ballot access. He will be virtually nominate him before the Democratic Party National Convention in Chicago. The party is expecting to face a major backlash because of Biden and Democrats support of Israel. Trump and Republicans will face the same.

Lauren Boebert was handed a difficult path. When Ken Buck resigned from Congress, Colorado governor Jared Polis announced a special election. Boebert who is running away from her current district is caught up in scandals. Her son and ex-ex-husband are caught up in criminal charges. She embarrassingly tried to rip off a Palestinian flag from the statue of George Washington at the university of the former president's namesake and was hammered with Beetlejuice songs.

Mike Lawler, Josh Gottheimer and Jared Moskowitz are trying to punish Americans who criticize Israel. Mike Gallagher introduced the infamous TikTok ban bill which became law this year. The president signed it and it faces a potential court challenge. ByteDance refuses to sell TikTok. Many believe the ADL and AIPAC pushed for the ban because of TikTok reaching out to show the realities of the genocide caused by Israel.

Marjorie Taylor Greene couldn't gain enough support to oust Mike Johnson from his Speakership. It also sparked an ongoing feud with many Republicans. Ken Buck resigned, Mike Gallagher resigned. Bill Johnson resigned. The Republicans are considering expelling Greene if she continues to be a burden.

Taylor Swift released another hit album.

Beyonce released another hit album.

I'm getting winded here. I am going to just say that in the next months, we will see more death, more successes and more controversy. I am certain I'll be around for some of these times.

I am an American.

I am Black.

I am a father.

I am a human.
