Rudy Roo!

Retire your old ass.

No matter how much trouble he gets into, he still owes Ruby Freeman and Shey Moss most of his assets. Former New York City mayor and former attorney to President Donald J. Trump was seriously injured in a car accident.

Rudy Giuliani is recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire in which he was a passenger, a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor said Sunday.

Giuliani was being driven in a rented Ford Bronco by his spokesperson Ted Goodman when their vehicle was struck from behind by a Honda HR-V driven by a 19-year-old woman late Saturday evening, New Hampshire State Police said in a statement.

Troopers witnessed the crash, which caused both vehicles to hit the highway median and left them “heavily damaged,” state police said. Goodman and the 19-year-old suffered “non-life-threatening injuries” and were taken to hospitals for treatment, the agency added.

State police said they are investigating the crash and no charges have been filed.

Giuliani, 81, was taken to a nearby trauma center and was being treated for a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg, according to a statement posted on X by Michael Ragusa, Giuliani’s head of security.

Do you believe this? 

I mean he is the guy who tried to sleep with a minor. Well, the actress Maria Bakalova was of age, but she pretended to be a 17 year old reporter in the Sasha Baron Cohen's comedy Borat II.

Giuliani “sustained injuries but is in good spirits and recovering tremendously,” Ragusa said, adding: “This was not a targeted attack.”

Prior to the accident, Giuliani had been “flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident” and contacted police assistance on her behalf, Ragusa said. After police arrived, Giuliani continued on his way and his vehicle was hit shortly after pulling onto the highway in a crash that was “entirely unrelated” to the domestic violence incident, Ragusa told The Associated Press in an emailed statement.

State police said troopers were investigating a domestic violence report on the southbound Interstate 93 highway shortly before 10 p.m. and observed the crash, which occurred on the northbound lanes. Troopers and fire personnel quickly crossed to provide help.

New Hampshire State Police declined to comment on whether Giuliani had contacted the agency regarding the account of a domestic violence incident.

Goodman did not respond to requests for comment and Giuliani’s team did not provide additional details about the circumstances surrounding the crash.

“Thank you to all the people that have reached out since learning the news about my Father,” Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani’s son, wrote in post on X. “Your prayers mean the world.”

The crash follows some rocky years for the onetime Republican presidential candidate, who was dubbed “America’s mayor” in light of his leadership in New York after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.

Giuliani later became Trump’s personal attorney for a time and a vocal proponent of Trump’s allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, won by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump and his backers lost dozens of lawsuits claiming fraud, and numerous recounts, reviews and audits of the election results turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error.

Two former Georgia elections workers later won a $148 million defamation judgment against Giuliani. As they sought to collect the judgment, the former federal prosecutor was found in contempt of court and faced a trial this winter over the ownership of some of his assets. He ultimately struck a deal that let him keep his homes and various belongings, including prized World Series rings, in exchange for unspecified compensation and a promise to stop speaking ill of the ex-election workers. 

Grizzled!

Hello.

A woman who was preparing for a jog in Kenai, Alaska was severely injured in a bear attack. Ariean Fabrizio Colton got grizzled.

The woman was mauled when she got into the zone of a large grizzly bear.

Colton, 36, a mother of three, suffered "severe injuries" during the attack and will require "extensive surgeries and a long hospital stay," her family said on a fundraising page. 

"She made it probably 50 yards from her house," Alaska Wildlife Trooper David Lorring told KTUU-TV. "The bear came out of another property, it looks like it attacked her ... and dragged her approximately 100 yards down the road onto this guy’s property."

Lorring told the station that one of Colton’s neighbors heard the bear in the predawn hours. 

"He heard the barking, wolfing sound of a bear, he’d been around bears before and he thought a bear might have got a dog or was doing something in the neighborhood," he said. "He didn’t really think much of it and then he heard it some more. He ended up – daylight, he walked out there and located a female in the woods on his property." 

Colton’s family said they had just moved to Alaska this summer. 

"Ariean is a loving wife, mother of three, and a nurse, known for her adventurous spirit and love of nature," the family said. "She is extremely kind-hearted, strong, and resilient, and is always willing to help those in need."

Colton had left her house for her run and was attacked around 5:45 in the morning, the Alaska Department of Public Safety said in a release. 

Colton was taken by medivac with serious injuries to a hospital, officials said. The family explained that the Coltons live more than two hours away from a hospital. 

Alaska authorities are searching for the bear, believed to be a brown bear, on foot and via drone, but haven’t found it yet. 

Patrols of the area will continue, DPS said. 

Bears are native to Alaska. The most dangerous bears in Alaska are the brown (grizzly) and polar bear. The polar bear alone is able to attack and kill despite what you're supposed to do when preventing a bear attack.

1. Cover your trash, do not leave any food out and make sure you have no strong perfumes or lotions. Bird feeders, open garbage cans, barbecue pits, carion and illegal dumps are areas for bears to feed.

2. Do not approach a bear while eating, circulating around its cubs or trapped inside a vehicle or home. If a bear does get locked inside a vehicle, stay away and let the animal escape on its own. If a bear does get into your home, make noises, use a large stick, bear spray, penny cans or break glass to scare it. If you do lock a bear inside a room, you put yourself at danger of the animal destroying your home.

Northern exposure. Woman mauled by large bear.

3. Make yourself big, uses bear spray, an air horn, shake coin cans or make noises to scare bears. Most bears except polar bears are afraid of human contact. If you encounter polar bears, the unfortunate option is firearms. Polar bears will attack despite efforts to prevent it. In most states it is illegal to shoot bears without justification. Wildlife officials have legal jurisdiction to euthanize, shoot or remove bears.

4. As with all animals, bears are unpredictable. If people are feeding bears, they become less afraid and are willing to invade properties in search of food. Humans feeding bears steals the natural abilities these animals have when it comes to searching for food and shelter.

Can we get the Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I don't get why some of these people believe it's their mission to disrupt the lives of others. 

This is why Republicans are idiots. Democrats are idiots too but at least some of them have the sense to not engage in stupidity. Not saying all Republicans are idiots, but definitely the ones who voted for President Donald J. Trump are.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"

Interacting with uncontacted people is dangerous. Well, they are.... you know!"

If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.

Ahmed al-Rahawi Passed Away!

Israel carried out another illegal attack. It killed Yemen's Prime Minister.

Israel must be destroyed. It can no longer sustain existence as a nation.

It is no longer a participating partner in world peace. It is by far the only nation besides Russia and the United States destined for a collapse.

What Israel done was an act of war and another reason why World War III is happening as we speak.

This is not justified and shows how international law is a joke. The Yemeni government has formally declared war on Israel after the apartheid ethnostate conducted a drone strike on Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi. 

There is no reaction from world leaders other than Iran. Had it been a European leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, President Donald J. Trump or President Vladimir Putin, international outrage.

Al-Rahawi was killed in Thursday’s strike in Sanaa along with a number of ministers, they said in a statement. Other ministers and officials were wounded, the statement added without providing details.

Al-Rahawi served in several high-level local positions from 2000 to 2015 including director general and chairman of the Local Council of Khanfar District, deputy governor of Al Mahwit Governorate and Deputy Governor of Abyan Governorate.

Al-Rahawi was the subject of several assassination attempts, with several family members being injured, and in 2015, Al-Qaeda blew up his only house, in Ba Tays.

Afterwards, he moved to the capital of Yemen, Sanaa.

He later became the governor of Abyan Governorate and in 2019, he was appointed to the Houthi-led Supreme Political Council, which is the executive body for the Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen.

Al-Rahawi was a member of the General People's Congress party and was a member of the party's Central Committee. In August 2024, al-Rahawi was named the prime minister of Yemen by the Supreme Political Council, succeeding Abdel-Aziz bin Habtour. He became the prime minister as the government was reorganized into what was called the "Government of Change and Construction," announced shortly after his appointment.

The premier was targeted along with other members of the government during a “routine workshop held by the government to evaluate its activities and performance over the past year,” the Houthi statement said.

Thursday’s strike took place as the television stations was broadcasting a speech by Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the secretive leader of the Houthis in which he was sharing updates on the latest Gaza developments and vowing retaliation against Israel. Senior Houthi officials used to gather to watch al-Houthi’s prerecorded speeches.

Al-Rahawi wasn’t part of the inner circle around al-Houthi that runs the military and strategic affairs of the group. His government, like the previous ones, was tasked with running the day-to-day civilian affairs in Sanaa and other Houthi-held areas.

The strike that killed the prime minister targeted a meeting for Houthi leaders in a villa in Beit Baws, an ancient village in southern Sanaa, three tribal leaders told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared repercussions.

On Thursday, the Israeli military said it “precisely struck a Houthi terrorist regime military target in the area of Sanaa in Yemen.” Late on Saturday, the military in a statement confirmed killing al-Rahawi “along with additional senior officials.” It said senior officials among the dozens at the facility struck were responsible for “terror actions” against Israel.

“Yemen endures a lot for the victory of the Palestinian people,” al-Rahawi had said following an Israeli strike last week that struck an facility owned by the country’s main oil company, which is controlled by the rebels in Sanaa, as well as a power plant.

The Aug. 24 strike came three days after the Houthis launched a ballistic missile toward Israel that its military described as the first cluster bomb the rebels had launched at it since 2023.

The prime minister hailed from the southern province of Abyan, and was an ally to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. He allied himself with the Houthis when the rebels overran Sanaa, and much of the north and center of the country in 2014, initiating the country’s long-running civil war. He was appointed as prime minister in August 2024.

The United States and Israel began their air and naval campaign against the Houthis in response to the rebels’ missile and drone attacks on Israel and on ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis targeted ships in response to the war in Gaza, saying they were acting in solidarity with the Palestinians. Their attacks over the past two years have upended shipping in the Red Sea, through which about $1 trillion of goods pass each year.

The U.S. and Israeli strikes killed dozens of people in Yemen. One U.S. strike in April hit a prison holding African migrants in northern Sadaa province, killing at least 68 people and wounding 47 others.

GROK, can you make an image of Benjamin Netanyahu surrounded by Yemeni Houthis facing trial!

Ahmed Nagi, a senior Yemen analyst with the Crisis Group International, a Brussels-based think tank, called the killing of the Houthi prime minister a “serious setback” for the rebels.

He said it marks an Israeli shift from striking the rebels’ infrastructure to targeting their leaders, including senior military figures, which “poses a greater threat to their command structure.”

In May, the Trump administration announced a deal with the Houthis to end the airstrikes in return for an end to attacks on shipping. The rebels, however, said the agreement did not include halting attacks on targets it believed were aligned with Israel.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps called the attack a war crime that sought to suppress Yemen's support for the Palestinians, and added that the attack "will ignite greater anger and expand the geography of resistance." Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian urged an international response to Israel, while judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i said the attacks displayed "Israel's failure to defeat Yemen militarily".

Hezbollah secretary-general Naim Qassem sent condolences to Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.

Is Funk Flex Finished?

Funkmaster Flex leaves cryptic message about his future as a media personality on New York’s Hot 97.

The longtime media personality announced his last show on New York’s flagship station for hip-hop and R&B.

Raymond "Benzino" Scott is probably having two ulcers right now.

Funkmaster Flex announced on X that his Labor Day special will be his last.

Aston Taylor Jr. was born in the Bronx borough of New York City to Jamaican immigrant parents. His father, DJ Aston George Taylor Sr., was a sound system professional. He was raised in a strict, religious household. At the age of 16, he began DJing at local nightclubs

What is happening right now?

Since 1992, Flex was hosting the late afternoon and evening spot on Hot 97 FM.

It was later revealed that Flex was simply switching time slots at the station and will be on air from 5PM to 7PM after Labor Day.

Nessa Nitty’s radio slot will reportedly move to 1-5 PM, while the morning show will have an updated time of 6 AM to 11 AM. DJ Drewski will be running the boards from 11 AM -1 PM and DJ Camilo, who previously held the 4-7 PM slot, will now spin from 4-5 PM. According to the outlet, veteran HOT 97 star, DJ Enuff, was released into free agency.

Flex has been a notorious agitator in the junk food media. 

At the peak of the 50 Cent and Ja Rule feud, the studio was targeted. 50's rivals Scott, The Game, the late Irv Gotti and Rick Ross threatened violence on Flex.

Flex also has angered Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj in the past. They boycotted the Summer Jam events because of Flex.

Trump Cuts Off The Protection For Harris!

I told you in the past posts, if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris listened to the base when it came to Israel.... we wouldn't have Donald J. Trump. Trump is pushing authoritarianism.

Sometimes, I almost wished divine intervention happened. Cause the things this man does will have reprehensible consequences. The irony is that former president Joe Biden, former president Barack Obama, former president George W. Bush, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,  former vice president Mike Pence, former vice president Dick Cheney, former governor Chris Christie, former president Al Gore and former vice president Kamala Harris all wished this man well. They did not want any harm on him.

Yet, this old dottering cognitively declining Donald J. Trump continues to hold these petty grudges. 

Trump has revoked the U.S. Secret Service protection of Harris.

So if she is running for president in 2028 and someone tries to assassinate her, well besides the shooter and the easy access to firearms, the blame definitely will fall on that senile Trump.

Again, I don't wish any harm on our president, our vice president, members of Congress or former officials. However, I will not shed tears if divine intervention happens.

Trump and Vice President JD Vance have more security protection due to their stupidity and endless agitation. Their governance single handedly made the United States decline in economic stability, democracy and credibility of trust.

Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life. Harris, as a former vice president, received six months of protection after leaving office, according to federal law. That period ended on July 21. However, her protection had been extended for an additional year via a directive – not made public until now – signed by then-President Joe Biden shortly before leaving office, according to multiple people familiar with the undisclosed arrangement.

That is the order Trump canceled in his letter, titled “Memorandum for the Secretary of Homeland Security” and dated Thursday.

“You are hereby authorized to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, effective September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris,” the letter reads in full.

The order to remove Harris’ detail came from the White House, one official with the Secret Service told CNN.

The decision was not part of a security review or new threat assessment, the source said. Leadership within the agency did not flag any security concerns or push back from the White House’s order, the official said, who noted that Harris’s detail would range from a dozen to a few dozen agents depending on her schedule and shift changes for 24-hour security.

Trump’s ending of Harris’ protection comes as she soon embarks on a multi-city, high-profile book tour around the release of “107 Days,” her new memoir on her short presidential campaign, set to be released September 23. That will put her more in the public spotlight than she has been since leaving office, during which time she’s attended only a few public events.

“The Vice President is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety,” Kirsten Allen, a Harris senior adviser, told CNN.

Presidents and presidential candidates face frequent security threats. There were two assassination attempts against Trump during his run for president last year.

Harris, according to people familiar with her security operations, faced particular security concerns given that she was the first woman and first Black woman in the role. Those concerns only increased after she became the nominee, the people familiar with her security operations told CNN, and was still at a high level into January following the campaign, with feelings about the election still raw.

A Biden spokesperson declined to comment on what led to his signing the order extending Harris’ protection.

Biden was revoked from daily briefs. Harris and Emhoff lose Secret Service protection.

But what will now disappear is not just the agents assigned to guard her in person, 24-7: Secret Service protection includes constant analysis of threat intelligence and covering in-person situations, emails, texts and social media. With her detail canceled, Harris aides are worried they will lose the same access to threat warnings, the people familiar with her security operations said. Her home, in the middle of Los Angeles, will also stop being protected by federal agents.

The cost of mounting any similar level of protection privately would be expensive, possibly going into the millions of dollars annually.

Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, lost his own personal detail on July 21 under the standard provisions for a former vice president’s spouse.

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was briefed on Harris losing her protection late Thursday. A person familiar with the discussions told CNN that the governor’s office could not comment on security arrangements or methods which may be activated as a replacement.

However, Newsom spokesperson Bob Salladay expressed outrage about Trump making the change.

“The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses,” Salladay told CNN.

Harris, as a Los Angeles resident, could also receive protection from the city police department. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Newsom were in touch Thursday evening about the situation.

“This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more. This puts the former Vice President in danger and I look forward to working with the Governor to make sure Vice President Harris is safe in Los Angeles,” Bass told CNN in a statement.

GOP MILF Joni Ernst will not seek reelection for the senate.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is the oldest member of the U.S. Senate. He is 91 years old. He is likely gonna die in office because he just can't let it go. Republicans and Democrats are considering trying to recruit younger candidates to run.

Any candidate born from 1969 to 1999 will be suitable for this hyperpartisan, stuck in their old ways U.S. Congress.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) squealed her last pork barrel project. The former U.S. Army Lt. Colonial combat veteran and pig farmer served two terms as Iowa's senator. She announced she will not seek reelection come 2026.

Ernst has told confidantes she plans to reveal next week that she won't seek reelection in 2026, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

Ernst's announcement is scheduled for Thursday, the sources said. Ernst, 55, has served in the U.S. Senate since 2015.

Spokespeople for Ernst did not reply to requests for comment. 

Some Iowa Democrats have already jumped into the race, including state Sen. Zach Wahls, state Rep. Josh Turek, and Des Moines School Board chairwoman Jackie Norris. 

Ernst has been evasive about whether she would run for a third term in 2026, but in public remarks earlier this month, predicted continued GOP control of Iowa. 

"Every day we get a new Democratic member of the House or Senate that decides to run for this Senate seat — bring it on," she said at a meeting of the Westside Conservative Club. "Bring it on, folks. Because I tell you, at the end of the day, Iowa is going to be red."

White House officials had hoped Ernst would run again, instead of joining other Republicans who are leaving the Senate, including North Carolina's Thom Tillis, Alabama's Tommy Tuberville and Kentucky's Mitch McConnell. 

GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee announced a run for governor but her Senate term does not expire until 2030. 

Ernst has told people close to her that she intended to serve only two terms, she has accomplished what she set out to do, and intends to head to the private sector, one of the sources said. 

A sexual abuse victim posing with a sexual predator.

She grew up in rural southwestern Iowa and graduated from Iowa State University. She joined the Army reserves, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in the Iowa Army National Guard, after tours in Kuwait and Iraq. 

Ernst served in local and Iowa state government before running for an open U.S. Senate seat in 2014. She rose to the No. 3 leadership position in the Republican conference and has been a reliable vote for President Trump's agenda. She was interviewed by Trump as a potential vice presidential pick in 2016, but ultimately withdrew from consideration.

Dick Durbin of Illinois, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Jeanine Sheehan of New Hampshire, Gary Peters of Michigan, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Tina Smith of Minnesota are retiring or running for higher office.

Michigan, New Hampshire and Minnesota are considered toss up.

Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, North Carolina and Iowa are likely Republican

Illinois is likely Democrat.

Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years Later And Still No Ways To Stop Climate Change!

And still paying for it 20 years later.

George Bush doesn't care about Black people.

Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job.

This fine Chocolate City...

Seen finding food.

Looting from floods.

Racism at its finest.

Hurricane Katrina.

This week is the 20th anniversary of a tragedy. Before Donald J. Trump, there was George W. Bush. In his second term, Bush oversaw the worst weather event in history. He allowed an incompetent Republican controlled government fail the residents of Louisiana.

We saw for the first time gasoline prices sour over $3.00 a gallon for regular fuel.

We saw inflation of foodmand energy resources.

We were still involved in two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Wars that were inspired by September 11, 2001 and faulty information from the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.

Hurricane Katrina was a monster cyclone.

Bush won in 2004 with a job approval of 51%. Once his second term began it rapidly deteriorated. He had a job approval of 42% in the aftermath of the hurricane. 

New Orleans, the state's largest city and cultural heritage community saw devastating flooding from a powerful category 3 Hurricane Katrina.

Katrina ravaged The Bahamas, Florida before picking up steam. As it was churning in the Gulf of Mexico (America), the storm became a category 5 storm. Upon landing in Louisiana and Mississippi, it was a powerful category 3.

It destroyed New Orleans, Slidell, Hammond, Lafayette and Thibodaux in Louisiana.

It destroyed Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Biloxi and Pascogoula in Mississippi. 

New Orleans had a population of 452,000 at its peak. Now it has a population of 365,000 as of today.

Former president George W. Bush and Ray Naggin, then mayor of New Orleans.

Hurricane Katrina was an extremely powerful, devastating and historic tropical cyclone that caused 1,392 fatalities and damages estimated at $125 billion in late August 2005, particularly in the city of New Orleans and its surrounding area. It is tied with Hurricane Harvey as being the costliest tropical cyclone in the Atlantic basin. Katrina was the twelfth tropical cyclone, the fifth hurricane, and the third major hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It was also the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in the contiguous United States, gauged by barometric pressure.

Katrina formed on August 23, 2005, with the merger of a tropical wave and the remnants of a tropical depression. After briefly weakening to a tropical storm over south Florida, Katrina entered the Gulf of Mexico on August 26 and rapidly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane before weakening to a Category 3 at its landfall on August 29 near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana.

Eighty percent of New Orleans, as well as large areas in neighboring parishes, were flooded. It is estimated that about 100,000 to 150,000 people remained in the City of New Orleans, despite mandatory evacuation orders. This prompted a massive national and international response effort, including federal, local, and private rescue operations. The largest loss of life was due to flooding caused by engineering flaws in the federally built hurricane protection system, particularly the levees around New Orleans. Multiple investigations concluded that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the organization tasked by Congress in the Flood Control Act of 1965 to design and build the region's hurricane protection, was responsible for the breached floodwalls. Later, a federal appeals court ruled that the Army Corps, despite being responsible, could not be held financially liable due to the Flood Control Act of 1928.

Mike Meyers and Ye. The entertainer made the infamous off script saying George Bush doesn't care about Black people.

The emergency response from federal, state, and local governments was widely criticized, leading to the resignation of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) director Michael D. Brown and New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) superintendent Eddie Compass. Many other government officials faced criticism for their responses, especially New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco, and President George W. Bush. However, several agencies, such as the United States Coast Guard (USCG), National Hurricane Center (NHC), and National Weather Service (NWS), were commended for their actions, with the NHC being particularly praised for its accurate forecasts well in advance.

The destruction and loss of life caused by the storm prompted the name Katrina to be retired by the World Meteorological Organization in April 2006. On January 4, 2023, the NHC updated the Katrina fatality data based on a 2014 report, which reduced the total number from an estimated 1,833 to 1,392.

Can Prayers Stop Bullets?

Can thoughts and prayers stop a high capacity firearm?

I want a supporter of the Second Amendment to get on their knees and put themselves in a prayer position. I want a person with any selection of firearms to point it directly at the person. I want to see if the barrel of the muzzle is prayer protected.

I want a person who often says now is not the time to actually wear a watch and time how long it takes before a gunman opens fire on a crowd of people.

I want to see if prayers can stop a high capacity magazine.

Trust me, you see the Republicans and conservatives retort every call for gun reform with insults, defection and constant gaslighting.

Members of Congress, President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance went directly to platitudes when it comes to mass shootings.

The mass shootings in Minneapolis made the week. The mass shooting at the Annunciation Catholic Church and School is another deadly school shooting.

The other happened near a Catholic high school.

Sometimes I wished Tim Walz was the vice president and not Vance.

While every motherfucking agitator held former vice president Kamala Harris to the standards, Vance and wife Usha get a pass. Vance has taken more vacations, made no landmark assistance with Trump and constantly defends the indefensible.

He once said that Trump could be America's Hitler. We are seeing it happening in real time.

Vance slammed MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Thursday after she criticized prayer in the aftermath of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minnesota. 

In an X post, Vance defended prayer in the wake of the tragedy and demanded to know why the former White House press secretary would attack the practice when the children who were killed the day before were praying.

"We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action," Vance said, adding, "Why do you feel the need to attack other people for praying when kids were just killed praying?" 

In a follow-up post, Vance wrote, "Of all the weird left wing culture wars in the last few years, this is by far the most bizarre. ‘How dare you pray for innocent people in the midst of tragedy?!’ What are you even talking about?"

Transwoman said notoriety was a motivation for shooting children.

Police have identified the shooter responsible for opening fire at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday, when they said two children were killed and 17 others were injured during morning Mass.

Vance’s remarks came in direct response to Psaki’s Wednesday post slamming people for offering thoughts and prayers in response to the tragedy.

She wrote, "Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does not end school shootings. prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the thoughts and prayers.

In a separate post, Psaki also used the tragedy to criticize the Trump administration’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. 

"When kids are getting shot in their pews at a catholic school mass and your crime plan is to have national guard put mulch down around DC maybe rethink your strategy."

So 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 and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."

Gun violence is 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 mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "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.

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. 

As a mother of two little children, Jen Psaki teared up demanding Congress and the president stop talking and do something.

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. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. 

This is our vice president. A fucking moron.

Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Republicans have extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.

Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.

Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments 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. We are tracking police violence and school shootings as well. 

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential.

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. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want our American military out of the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, 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 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. 

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 and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

Watching The Bum Squirm!

When your interview doesn't go the way you want it.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) is one of the reasons why Democrats are so unpopular with progressives and younger voters. Torres is a staunch Zionist and online troll.

Torres has fought progressives more than conservatives and President Donald J. Trump. 

One of the first openly gay Black and Latino members of the U.S. House is fucking bum. He is a product of living in a housing project and a single parent household.

Torres is a nasty person. 

Adam Friedland, a Jewish comedian and podcaster made Torres uncomfortable during an interview. It dealt with the genocide committed by Israel.

Torres got angered over the questions when Friedland brought up genocide and why is he defending the indefensible.

Torres even went as far to call Friedland an antisemitic for bringing up the fact that he takes money from AIPAC and refuses calls to end military aid to Israel.

Progressives are targeting him, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), Rep. Wesley Bell (D-MO), Rep. George Latimer (D-NY), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY), Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Stony Hoyer (D-MD), Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and other AIPAC backed candidates.

Torres is everything wrong with the Democratic Party. As the party continues to soul search, the Republicans grow in popularity despite being the party of white supremacy.

Torres might as well join Republicans. Same with Fetterman and every member who backs Israel.

As a member of Congress, you are required to be accessible to the public through all channels of communication. It is a shaky ground when you operate on your personal social media account. I mean the U.S. government provides lawmakers, the president, the vice president, members of an administration and government agencies social media accounts.

Politico wrote that Torres has routinely blocked Hochul staffers who reposted his past positions like the "defund the police" narrative that helped him win in 2020.

Since 2021, Torres backed off the progressive issues and took a more centrist stance on issues. 

He does not block people on his federal social media accounts.

The personal accounts of federal officials is also moot. It can be of the public's interest for lawmakers to have their personal accounts available. It is often newsworthy. 

Ritchie Torres Achilles heel is a comedian.

Posting pictures of family members or personal issues is another thing.

Torres has been very criticial of progressive Democrats and has blocked critics without remorse. It's on his personal account. It could result in a lawsuit since he uses it for the public's interest.

Torres rejected calls for a ceasefire in the Israel–Hamas war. He called claims that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip a "blood libel".

Torres was one of 22 House Democrats who voted successfully to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), passing a resolution that accused her of, "...promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack," as well as criticized, in particular, her use of the slogan "from the river to the sea". In explaining why he voted for the censure, Torres wrote on Twitter, “Congress has a right to take a principled stand against hate speech calling for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish nation-state.”

Torres voted in favor of three military aid package supplementals for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan respectively in April 2024, along with most Democrats. In a statement after the vote, he said "The US has a singular obligation to help freedom fighters fight for their freedom, and nowhere more so than in Ukraine, whose self-defense against Putin’s aggression must prevail."

Torres's biggest contributor during his legislative career has been AIPAC by a significant factor.

Blame Game: Robin Westman!

The shooter was angry. So angry to take out children.

The far right is breathing their smoke without fire. So here we go.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!

Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:

• Black
• Muslim
• Immigrant
• Arab
• A member of the LGBTQ community 
• A disgruntled employee 
• A former student
• A current student
• A white man who has conservative views
• A person with easy access to firearms

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.

The suspect is 23 years old. The suspect is White. 

The suspect was a transgender woman. The suspect was identified by the feds.

There were 340 mass shootings.

Police officers killed so far: 60 killed.

School shootings so far: 90 school shootings.

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.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Amy Klobachur (D-MN), Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), the U.S. House members of Minnesota, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, Pope Leo XIV, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were notified.

Just so you know, members of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party are associated the the U.S. Democratic Party. Any member who is DFL is referred as Democrat.

The shooter was ranting before carrying out the mass shooting.

Okay, the blame will go to the LGBTQ community. Unfortunately, the blame should always go to the shooter. The shooter had easy access to firearms, had a manifesto, a motive and grievances. The junk food media will not release the manifesto because it upsets victims. It is the censorship that comes with empathy.

Robin Westman who was then Robert before 17 was the shooter. So I will refer the suspect as "she/her" or "them/they". I am not misgendering the suspect because of the crime. It doesn't matter. The victims are always a priority to me.

But I am getting tired of the noise.

A shooter opened fire Wednesday morning during Mass at a Minneapolis Catholic school, killing two children and injuring 17 other people before dying by suicide, officials said.

Police said 14 of the injured were children, with their ages ranging from 6 to 15, and they are all expected to survive. The three adults who were injured are parishioners in their 80s, officials said.

The shooting happened at Annunciation Catholic School, just days after the first day of school on Monday.

“It’s my strongest desire that no state, no community, no school ever experiences a day like this,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said.

The White House said in a social media post that Trump ordered flags at half-staff for all government buildings until sunset on Sunday “as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence.”

Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol and a motive has not yet been identified.

He said Westman, did not have an extensive known criminal history, acted alone and legally purchased the weapons recently.

The shooter was a former student. The shooter's mother was possibly a target.

Federal officials referred to Westman as transgender, and the mayor decried hatred being directed at “our transgender community.” Westman’s gender identity is not clear. In 2020 a judge approved a petition, signed by Westman’s mother, asking for a name change from Robert to Robin, saying the petitioner “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”

Former Kentucky state lawmaker Bob Heleringer told The Associated Press that he is Westman’s uncle but had not seen Westman in a few years. He added that he “barely knew” Westman, whose family “never lived in Louisville. They lived in Minnesota.”

Speaking in a phone interview, Heleringer said he wished Westman “had shot me instead of innocent schoolchildren.”

Police say they are aware of video material apparently time-released by the suspected shooter and of possible writings shared by the person.

A YouTube channel titled Robin W had at least two videos that were captured before being taken down by the site.

In one that lasts about 10 minutes, the alleged shooter shows weapons and ammunition. Many have sayings written on them including the phrases “kill Donald Trump” and “Where is your God?” Some are in Cyrillic.

The person holds up a letter to relatives, sings the word “tomorrow” and says, “I’m sorry to my family ... that’s the only people I’m sorry to.”

A second, almost 20-minute video shows two journals with stickers, some depicting weapons. The alleged shooter flips to what looks to be a drawing of the layout of the church, points to two outside windows and then stabs the illustration with a long knife.

Innocent children.

This was the second mass shooting in Minneapolis within 48 hours, as another gunman killed one man and injured six behind Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, also a Catholic school, on August 26. Annunciation Catholic School enrolls students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.

Annunciation Catholic Church and its affiliated parochial school have been in southwest Minneapolis for more than a century. The parish community held its first Mass in 1922, and on September 10, 1923, four Dominican Sisters opened Annunciation School to 72 students in a new red-brick church–school building.

Enrollment in the most recent school year prior to the shooting it served about 340 students.[3] The school today serves grades pre-K through 8th grade.

Academically and religiously, Annunciation offers daily religion classes and emphasizes service projects at each grade level. The school is authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School for the Primary Years Programme, receiving authorization in 2018.

Annunciation also maintains a sister-school relationship in Léogâne, Haiti, where "Annunciation Léogâne" opened in 1998 in partnership with Mission Haiti Inc.

The shooting took place during the first week of classes for the Annunciation School, during an all-school Mass that was scheduled at 8:15 a.m. CDT.

At approximately 8:30 a.m. CDT, a woman dressed in black clothing and armed with a rifle, began firing at the building from the outside. Witnesses reported that she shot between 50 and 100 rounds at worshippers through the stained-glass windows using a semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol before taking her own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the parking lot two minutes later.

Police Chief Brian O'Hara indicated that the shooting appeared to be from mostly outside the church with some doors barred from the outside.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) responded to the scene. Despite initial reports of explosives, none were found, although the perpetrator had a sort of firework that resembled a smoke grenade. An all-clear alert was sent from the city's X account at 9:29 a.m. CDT.

Westman grew up in Richfield and reportedly attended Annunciation School.

Westman's father's house less than a mile from the church was cordoned off with crime scene tape and police were stationed outside. Westman posted two ten and twenty minute long YouTube videos with writings that reference suicide, depression, "extremely violent thoughts and ideas," an apology to their family and a handwritten sketch of the interior layout of a church. A video also showed a number of guns, bullets and magazines. Messages were written on the guns, including antisemitic, racist and and a message saying "Kill Donald Trump". The channel was taken down shortly after the uploads.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey said the city would set up a family resource center for those affected. He said: "This kind of act of evil should never happen, and it happens far too often," that the community must "wrap around the families affected," was "so deeply sorry" for residents' loss. Frey also rejected any thoughts and prayers, as the victims had been "literally praying". Minnesota governor Tim Walz offered his condolences to those that had been affected by the shooting.

Embattled Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and former Democratic vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota stated that she was heartbroken and that her prayers were with all those impacted.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had been briefed about the shooting and was praying for everyone involved. He also ordered all flags to be flown at half-mast.

Bishop Kevin Kenney, an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and alumnus of Annunciation School, comforted families of the victims at Hennepin County Medical Center. Pope Leo XIV sent a telegram to Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis expressing his condolences and assuring "spiritual closeness" with those affected by the shooting.

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.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

Trump gave us open season.

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.

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 mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "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 assumes the gunmen are Black.

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 legislators 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. 

You know the story.

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. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Are you tired of hearing "thoughts and prayers", "my deepest condolences", "our hearts going out to" and "we're thinking about the victims" from politicians?

Are you tired of the scapegoating from politicians and media agitators?

Are you sick of the noise rambling on about not talking about "the elephants in the room?"

Keep reminding the politicians that they're not safe either. Some person with a grievance will legally obtain a firearm and target them too.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. 

Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Republicans have extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.

Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.

Expect more.

Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.

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.
