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. π€¦πΎ♂️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.
Another "sweet" chicken. Christian Walker calls Jacob Blake a criminal who deserved his fate.
Two gay Black Trump supporters take aim at Jacob Blake and Black Lives Matter.
Terrence K. Williams is a far-right Black "comedian" who got popular after he was chomping on a chicken drumstick bashing Black Lives Matter. He has became one of Donald J. Trump's most valued Black surrogates.
Christian Walker is the son of Herschel Walker. He is a cheerleader and make up artist. He is an openly gay supporter of Trump as well as his father. Herschel Walker spoke at the Republican National Convention.
Here's the two ranting and raving about Kenosha.
GHETTO THUGS ARE ACTING A PLUM FOOL IN KENOSHA!
When I say ghetto thugs I’m taking about anyone who’s looting and burning stuff down!! pic.twitter.com/KHqaZNR8e8
Looking at how the Black vote is crucial, these two are speaking to white nationalists. They are speaking to a group of people who harbor bigotry towards people of color but shield themselves around these two buckboys.
I am serious, this election matters.
With the focus shifting from the coronavirus pandemic to police brutality, African Americans are hit with a one, two punch of death and destruction.
Donald J. Trump has done nothing for the Black community. And if you believe he has, then you're full of shit. Matter of fact, he's set back progress for at least a generation.
He said that under his watch Black unemployment (before the coronavirus) was a record lows. You got to credit his predecessor for that one. He said that he's done more for African Americans than any other president, ever. I guess he's not "My Brother's Keeper."
He said that he's provided more money for Historically Black Colleges and Universities. That's funny, cause two HBCUs in Ohio aren't getting the money fast. Wilberforce University and Central State University are still the same and they're laying off employees due to COVID-19.
Trump placed a handful of Black Republicans at the RNC. Name one accomplishment they've done other than saying they're no longer on the "plantation."
Okay, Alice Johnson got out of federal time out after spending decades for drug crimes. Yes, that's amazing that a reality television star and Kim Kardashian West (a fellow reality television star) can turn a Black woman's life into a soap opera. Johnson isn't fully commuted. She is only an example because Trump needs some form of not being a racist dickhead.
Sweet Chicken, Terrence K. Williams.
Terrence K. Williams has been facing heat for his rhetoric. He's on the bubble over at Twitter. He's caused many incidents where he's went too far in his incendiary rhetoric. He often tries this #FreeTerrence scam to prevent Twitter from suspending him.
Christian Walker is a cheerleader literally. He is flexing his legs for Trump and calling Black Lives Matter activists scum and traitors.
Know this.
They may experience the fears Black people have with police. That moment where a cop who has never heard of them pulls them over for some infraction. That cop asking for a search of their vehicle for "weed" or a "piece." That search that might end in two fashions: jail or death.
Black people are never given the benefit of the doubt. Every time a Black man is shot by the police, the far-right agitators will bring up the criminal history or point out that the suspect had a weapon.
They will justify reasons to why a cop would use lethal force.
Fuck this shit!
The white nationalists and conservative tokens are trying to define the situation as Jacob Blake and other Black men deserving his fate. They are saying:
If he would of complied....
If he would not have reached....
If he would not have resisted....
If he would not have done what he's done....
If he would have not done [criminal acts]....
Then he would be ALIVE.....
Americans are fucking cynical. They don't see the bigger picture. They don't see a cop grabbing a man by the shirt collar and shooting him eight fucking times (at point blank range). They shot him in front of his children.
We have unrest in the nation. African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."
African Americans are going to send a message to the police.... Our message is pure and simple!
STOP KILLING US! STOP USING THE "I FEAR FOR MY LIFE" AS AN EXCUSE!
If you fear for your life, you shouldn't be a cop.
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT SOMEONE'S PAST ENCOUNTERS WITH POLICE. THAT DOESN'T JUSTIFY THE DEATH OF ANY SUSPECT! IF THE SUSPECT IS FLEEING, THAT'S NOT A THREAT ON THE LIVES OF POLICE! IT'S A FUCKING COP OUT! THE COPS OFTEN USE NON-LETHAL FORCE WITH WHITE SUSPECTS! WHY IS THIS NOT USED ON BLACK SUSPECTS? IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING .... BLACK PEOPLE ARE LAWFUL OWNERS OF FIREARMS TOO! JUST CAUSE YOU SEE A PICTURE OF A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM DOESN'T MEAN HE'S COMMITTING CRIMES. WHITE PEOPLE POSE WITH FIREARMS TOO! YOU BELIEVE WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT COMMITTING CRIMES WITH FIREARMS! THIS COMMON STEREOTYPE EXIST WHEN BLACK PEOPLE ARE KILLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY SEE PICTURES OF [BLACK MEN] WITH FIREARMS AND SOME JUSTIFY THAT AS A REASON FOR COPS TO KILL.
No amount of criminal acts this man done justified that cop's actions. It's has frustrated me to hear folks like Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Leo Terrell, Jesse Lee Peterson, Terrence K. Williams, Kevin Jackson, Diamond & Silk and Allen West defend the actions of bad cops and white vigilantes.
As the Republican National Convention wraps up, we hear that less than a dozen people attending the delegation nomination in Charlotte tested positive for the coronavirus.
Videos being shared online show Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and George state representative Vernon Jones (D) being heckled by protesters who were demanding them do something about Breona Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd and Jacob Blake.

Donald J. Trump spend over 70 minutes laying out his "agenda." His agenda was to label his opponent Joe Biden as a radical socialist who will destroy America if he's elected.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) delivers a blistering attack on Trump's handling of the coronavirus.
Trump didn't even mention her in his long winded acceptance speech. He will rank second in one of the longest convention speeches. The news channels aren't pleased about this.
They were told that the speech would not be long. They lost precious advertising time because of Trump's long winded speech. They lost revenue airing his acceptance speech.
We'll see if this gives him a bump in the polls.
Today, Rev. Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III and L. Benjamin Crump hosted the March on Washington in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech. It's been 65 years since the murder of Emmett Till. Today, the March on Washington will acknowledge it and the demand for police reform.
This is being held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
The March on Washington is expected to be a large rally.
Sharpton knows the risk of attendees getting coronavirus. He is aware that attendees will likely be infected by this. The rally is expected to have at least 50,000 attendees. The official count will be issued on Monday.
The families of those killed by police and vigilantes are expected to speak today.
This March on Washington is a call to action. The NAACP, the National Action Network, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference said that it's time to do something now! They said that systematic racism has went too far.
This is a voter registration drive as well.
The will honor the legacy of John Lewis, the civil rights activist and Georgia lawmaker who passed away this year.
They are calling for Congress to pass the George Floyd Police Reform bill and John Lewis Voting Rights bill.
At the march, protesters are required to wear facial mask and gloves. They will provide them for those who didn't bring them.
We wrap up the Republican National Convention. The convention ended like it started, a lot of accusations and not so much solutions to solving them. The platform was literally a white nationalist delight. Each speaker has some Fox News-themed grievance against the Democratic Party and its party nominee, Joe Biden.
It prompted a journalist who studies the media to write a book about it.
The book Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth is out and its a New York Times best seller.
CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter wrote the book detailing the relationship between Donald J. Trump and the far-right Fox News. He said that Trump has completely taken over the network.
He also notes that annoying agitator Sean "Softball" Hannity's role in the matter.
Softball Hannity has faced a backlash because he and Tucker Carlson interrupted the Republican National Convention numerous times blocking out speakers.
Since the complaint from Trump and Republicans, the softball had ran his show without much interruptions. He did remind his viewers that his shitshow will mention accomplishments by Trump.
All they've done was speak about how scary a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration is to the country. They have nothing to offer in the end.
In an interview with Terry Gross of NPR's Fresh Air, Stelter had specifically signaled out the softball as the main reason to why Trump is getting his policies out to the country.
Sean "Softball" Hannity is the feedback loop to the White House.
"Fox is Trump's safe space. It's where he's not going to be humiliated, where he's not going to hear uncomfortable truths," Stelter said. "There's just no example of this kind of alliance between a president and media outlet ever before."
Stelter also noted the coronavirus pandemic that Fox News and Trump downplayed throughout the year. Fox News and Fox Business agitators repeatedly called the coronavirus "an attempt to defeat Trump."
"When the virus was silently spreading in the United States in February and early March, some of his biggest stars [on Fox News] downplayed the threat, almost edged into denialism," he says. "And the biggest problem about that is that Trump heard it. He echoed it. They echoed Trump back. So we're into this grotesque feedback loop where they're telling each other it's going to be OK, and they are lulling the president into a false sense of security about the virus."
The softball is openly feuding with Stelter. He calls him "Humpty Dumpty" over at "Fake News CNN" and says that he would love to "sue the living crap out people like him."
Softball Hannity held the 9pm spot since the network's beginning. He did lose his spot briefly after Roger Ailes told him his show was too bland and he quid pro quo Megyn Kelly to the 9pm spot. Kelly allegedly slept with Ailes to get the spot.
The softball was loosing steam during the Obama years. When his show was relentlessly attacking Barack Obama during the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election, he was hoping to see the 44th President losing. He had ran on so many narratives to make Obama seem like he's not prepared for the job.
When Obama beat Mitt Romney in the election, the softball was considered damaged goods. He was demoted for Megyn Kelly. He was placed on the 10pm spot for three years. When Kelly left Fox News, he shortly got his spot back. It took the cannon firing of Eric Bolling and Bill O'Reilly to shuffle the deck and place the softball back on the 9pm spot.
Stelter said that Trump and Mike Pence have ordered all federal buildings to carry Fox News or OANN (if available). Trump usually spends about most his morning a partially the afternoon watching the cable news .
Brian Stelter gives a grave warning about Trump and Fox News destroying American democracy.
He would often call into Fox & Friends to make conversations. He would often dictate the agenda through segments of the program. Whenever the program discusses a controversy no matter how small or huge, Trump would latch on to it and respond through Twitter.
Fox News would often take unnecessary risks to make sure Trump is satisfied.
When Shepard Smith quit the network, Fox News and Trump were happy to see him go. Smith was the straight news man who questioned Trump's truthfulness. Trump hated that. He hated many of the weekend commentators who criticize him.
He said that Tucker Carlson, an avowed white nationalist has impact on Trump. Carlson had been on the forefront of the coronavirus pandemic. Carlson literally went to Mar-a-Largo to plead to Trump to take the threat of the coronavirus seriously.
Carlson had an impact on Trump's decision to not send the United States into an endless war with Iran and kick off World War III. It also created a lot of tension between then National Security Advisor John Bolton and Trump. Bolton was on-board with attacking Iran. Trump was too but watching an hour of Carlson led to him changing his mind.
Trump's allies have hurt him in a big way.
Trump was impeached based on the crap he listened to on Fox News. When Trump was listening to Softball Hanntiy's shitshow, he got the notion to believe Ukraine had a role in the election. He asked the newly appointed Ukrainian president to "do him a favor." By listening to the softball, his mistress Sara A. Carter and shody journalist John "Deep State" Solomon, Trump became the third U.S. president to be impeached while in office.
The downfall of our nation's malls. With anchor stores closing up, malls are going to no longer exist in this decade. The fall of the nation's malls show that Donald J. Trump's trade war and the coronavirus had impacted suburbia.
Lord & Taylor is going out of business. The nearly 200 year old retailer had announced they are going into liquidation. They had filed for bankruptcy in August. This along with Stein Mart will impact malls across the country.
The company announced it will shut down the remaining 40 stores in the country.
"While we are still entertaining various opportunities, we believe it is prudent to simultaneously put the remainder of the stores into liquidation to maximize value of inventory for the estate while pursuing option for the company's brands," Ed Kremer, Lord & Taylor's chief restructuring officer said in a statement.
Lord & Taylor filed for bankruptcy joining a string of retailers that filed for Chapter 11 in recent months. According to CNN, the company was going to continue to operate at least 24 stores.
Since they couldn't find a buyer the private equity firm decided the time was now to shut down.
The CEO and top executives will end up getting golden parachutes and the workers will end up getting the remaining workers will probably get nothing more than a few paychecks.
On Thursday, shareholders announce the closure. The chain started by Englishmen Samuel Lord and George Washington Taylor on the lower east end of Manhattan in 1824. The company was sold to Le Tote, Inc. as a last minute move to keep the company afloat.
Other companies included J. Crew, Pier 1 Imports, Stein Mart, JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, Stage and Ascena Retail Group which owns Ann Taylor and Lane Bryant have filed for bankruptcy and are slated to close stores.
If Sears/Kmart close all the remaining stores, it will trigger a nationwide retail closure with most companies. Trust me, Sears will trigger a global recession.
The night where Donald J. Trump will lay the ills of America on the feet of his rival Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The 45th President of the United States is planning on delivering a speech that promises a "reboot" of his "Make America Great Again."
At the point of no return for an embattled president who has his former lawyer Michael Cohen is working on releasing a memoir.
Mother Jones, the publication that released the Mitt Romney 47% audio released the Trump audio in which they catch him on a hot-mic talking about how he threatened to sue the Better Business Bureau over Trump University having a lowering of rating. He also attack the federal judge Gonzalo P. Curiel.
Trump is overseeing a country in chaos.
We have wildfires in the West. Many Americans are losing their homes to wildfires in California, Oregon, Idaho and Colorado. The wildfires in California get the most coverage because, America's most populate state is where Kamala Harris resides. The junk food media will find someway to blame her for a man-made/natural disaster. Trump has offered federal aid to the state but had recently criticized the governor for not doing more to stop it. He said back 2019 that if they would rake the leaves they could prevent fires.
We have the remnants of Hurricane Laura. The category 4 hurricane directly hit the state of Louisiana leaving a trail of destruction. The states of Louisiana and Texas have issues a state of emergency. So far the deaths that hurricane left are less than 20. One 14-year old girl was killed when a tree crashed on the home.
Mike Pence said Donald J. Trump will restore "law and order." Right now, there's chaos under Trump.
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. Many companies are requiring people to wear them when coming into their facilities. However some are coming into the facilities without them and they are becoming violent with workers. The CDC has told employers that the safety of employees is crucial. They said to employers don't stop a person from entry if they refuse to wear facial protection.
Unrest continues to plague the country. We have more unrest in Kenosha. A white terrorist murdered Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber. This terrorist traveled from Illinois to cause trouble. The terrorist shot Joseph in the head and then fled. He was confronted by Anthony and the terrorist shot him in the chest. They died from their injuries. The Kenosha Police allowed the terrorist to flee back to Illinois to destroy evidence and get a nap in. The terrorist spoke to The Daily Caller before he opened fire on two protesters. The terrorist is only 17-years old and supporter of Trump and Blue Lives Matter.
Lara Trump said the Trumps are a welcoming family.
The suspect is facing murder charges. He could face LIFE in the iron college if convicted. The federal charges that he could face is DEATH. He will be charged as an adult. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB and MLS have suspended their games in the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting and Kenosha mass shooting. Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers said that Trump and Republicans want to paint a picture of fear for his base to vote on. But in reality, the fear lies in the people these actions affect. He said that Black people are in fear of police and said no right mind would justify that cop shooting Blake like that. Well there's Herschel Walker and his son Christian who support the cop who shot a man seven fucking times.
Madison Cawthorn wanted to show the world he can stand. He took aim at the NBA for walking off the court.
Let's just recap night three of the Republican National Convention.
Here's the videos of some of the convention.
The speakers were boring and nothing was inspiring.
Vice President Mike R. Pence accepted his nomination at Fort McHenry in Baltimore.
He would tell the world that Trump will be the president of "law and order." Pence did not mention the people who were shot by police. He called Joe Biden and Kamala Harris weak on crime.

Kellyanne Conway final appearance. She spoke favorable of Trump. Now she's trying to save her family.
The Russian government is actively interfering in the election. Facebook and Twitter have suspended over 10,000 accounts with ties to the Federation's GRU. Sleuths have seen repetitive memes and tweets from bots. The Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris have said that the Russian government are actively spreading misinformation about their policies. Some of the leftist and far-right agitators have been useful idiots in spreading false stories about the Biden campaign in attempt to help Donald J. Trump win reelection.
All I can tell you in real time, that 6.8 million people are infect with the coronavirus. Over 200,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. There are over 35 million Americans unemployed in the United States. Companies are going out of business left and right. We have civil unrest in many of America's municipalities. We are less than three months away from the U.S. Elections and we're not prepared for the possibility of election tampering from foreign entities. We are not prepared for mail-in ballots or absentee ballots. We are having a food crisis due to the coronavirus.
We are really having a moment where the world is on fire and Donald J. Trump is just playing golf or rambling about how everyone who doesn't support his ass is anti-American.
