Portland Unrest Is Trump's Fault!

Trump supporters came to Portland and one of them getting killed.
BLACK LIVES MATTER

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

VOTE.

BE WARNED GRAPHIC IMAGES AND VIDEO

Donald J. Trump's rhetoric has sparked unrest across the nation. He can't blame Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the world's problems when he's the President of the United States. The responsibility of the country lies on the feet of Trump, period.

Portland has finally reached a boiling point when a terrorist shot and killed a far-right agitator.

The Patriot Prayer was a rally for Trump supporters to intimidate Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters in downtown Portland. During the weekend, there were clashes between these groups.

The victim, Aaron "Jay" Danielson was shot at point blank range by a white terrorist who identified himself as a member of Antifa.

The feds are searching for this terrorist and he will likely be charged with murder. He could face LIFE in the iron college if convicted of this.
Ted Wheeler condemns the violence and he blames rightfully Donald Trump for it.
Since the death of George Floyd, protests have continue to mount in the country.















Ted Wheeler, the mayor of Portland is condemning the violence and said directly that the fault of his city's unrest lies on Trump.

After Trump called Wheeler, a Democrat, a "fool" and blamed him for allowing violence to proliferate in the liberal city, the visibly angry mayor lashed out at the president, addressing him in the first person through the TV cameras.

"That’s classic Trump. Mr. President, how can you think that a comment like that, if you're watching this, is in any way helpful? It's an aggressive stance, it is not collaborative. I certainly reached out, I believe in a collaborative manner, by saying earlier that you need to do your part and I need to do my part and then we both need to be held accountable," Wheeler said.

"Let's work together. Wouldn't that be a message? Donald Trump and Ted Wheeler working together to help move this country forward. Why don't we try that for a change?"

The testy news conference followed a chaotic and volatile 24 hours in Portland that began when a caravan of about 600 vehicles packed with Trump supporters drove through Portland and was met with counter protesters. Skirmishes broke out between the groups and, about 15 minutes after the caravan left the city, a supporter of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer was fatally shot.

Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson identified the victim as Danielson. He called the victim a "good friend," but provided no further details. Danielson apparently also went by the name Jay Bishop, according to Patriot Prayer's Facebook page.

"We love Jay and he had such a huge heart. God bless him and the life he lived," Gibson said in a Facebook post.

Trump retweeted the victim’s name and wrote, "Rest in peace Jay!"
Police treat the shooting victim.
It wasn't clear if the shooting was related to the clashes between Trump supporters and counter-protesters in Portland, which has become a flashpoint in the national Black Lives Matter protests since George Floyd was killed in May and an increasing centerpiece in Trump's law-and-order re-election campaign theme.

Trump and other speakers at last week's Republican National Convention evoked a violent, dystopian future if Biden wins in November and pointed to Portland as a cautionary tale for what would be in store for Americans.

Police have released little information and Chief Chuck Lovell said Sunday that investigators are still gathering evidence, including surveillance video from area businesses. Earlier Sunday, the agency released a plea for any information related to the killing, including videos, photos or eyewitness accounts.

Patriot Prayer is based in Washington state and was founded in 2016. Since early 2017, its supporters have been periodically coming to Portland to hold rallies for Trump, ratcheting up tensions in the liberal city long before the national outrage over Floyd's death sparked more than three months of protests here.

Portland has seen nearly 100 consecutive nights of Black Lives Matter protests and many have ended with vandalism to federal and city property, including police precincts, a county jail, the federal courthouse and City Hall. In July, Trump sent more than 100 federal agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to safeguard federal property — a move that instead reinvigorated the protests.

Thousands of people clashed with the federal agents each night for two weeks, as agents lobbed tear gas canisters and pepper spray at the crowds and some protesters tossed fireworks at the agents and shined lasers in their eyes.

Those agents withdrew July 31 but smaller nightly protests have continued in pockets of the city. More than 600 people have been arrested since late May.

On Sunday, Portland authorities urged people to stay away from the downtown as they try to de-escalate tensions and braced for what promised to be another night of violence. A protest was planned for Sunday night on the city's east side.
A man's life is lost to gun violence. Even though, he was a far-right agitator, his life mattered too. 
Late Sunday Oregon Gov. Kate Brown released details of a plan to address the violence in Portland while protecting free speech. She said the district attorney's office in Multnomah County, which includes Portland, will prosecute serious criminal offenses and the sheriff’s office will work with other agencies to hold people arrested for violent behavior and ensure there is adequate jail space. Also, Brown said Oregon State Police will return to Portland to help local police and nearby law enforcement agencies will also be asked to assist.

Trump earlier Sunday appeared to be encouraging his supporters to move into Portland in the wake of the shooting. After the shooting, the president shared a video of his supporters driving into Portland and called those in Saturday's caravan "GREAT PATRIOTS!"

Wheeler begged those who wanted to come to Portland to "seek retribution" to stay away.

"If you're from out of town and you're reading something on social media — if you're reading any facts on social media — they're probably wrong because we don't have all the facts yet," Wheeler said. "They are still assembling the facts. This is not the time to get hotheaded because you read something on Twitter that some guy made up in his mother's basement."

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf blamed local officials for failing "to protect their communities."

“I’m asking Portland officials, so that’s the mayor, that's the governor and that’s local law enforcement, to do their job to address any violent activity that is occurring in their streets," Wolf told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Wolf said the federal government was prepared to send agents to Portland and other cities to protect federal buildings and assist police.

Lovell and Wheeler said they had no plans to request National Guard troops but the city is seeking assistance from the sheriff’s department and Oregon State Police.

Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

So far, more Black men and women are being killed by the police. I don't want to hear no talk about white suspects being killed far more. So far, the junk food media has spotlighted another Black man being shot by the police.

We have mass shootings in the United States everyday. We are the only country in the world that continues to do nothing about this. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.

It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.



Master P Is The Rapping Chef!


BLACK LIVES MATTER

We're cooking like it's NO LIMIT!

The legendary Master P is launching his own line of food products. He is launching this Black-owned food brand to replace Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's.

Percy Miller, the legendary founder of No Limit Records is a media mogul, activist, entrepreneur and actor. He is worth an estimated $245 million.

P launched the "Uncle P" food company which is going to offer consumers a Black-owned alternative to brands that use Black names and imagery, but don't give back to the Black communities.

P always believed that Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben's were Black owned at one time. When found out that Mars Brands owns Uncle Ben's and Quaker owns Aunt Jemima, he said that he had to make something that Blacks can respectfully buy.

The Uncle P's Louisiana Seasoned products will hit the stores soon. He said, "There's No Limit To Success."

Uncle P will have pancake mix, syrup, oatmeal, grits, rice, beans, sweet tea and biscuits.

The Uncle P's brand will aim to create more job opportunity with upward mobility for Black people.

P said that he wants to use portions of the profits to restore and develop real estate in Black neighborhoods.

"If they made billions of dollars off Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben, imagine how much will make to give back to our own community. It'll be us helping us without having to wait for the government. We can actually change the world."

Master P made a music empire off a mere $10,000 malpractice settlement he got from his grandfather's death. From there he opened up a record store, started a record label, invested in various industries and still continues to be a huge influence in the country.

It would be nice to see Black-owned everyday in the United States. It would also be nice to more people of color elected to higher office. I mean the Congress has 56 members who are African American. There are two Republicans and 54 Democrats.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) are the only African American Republicans.

The Republican Party acts like that two members is a huge accomplishment. It's really not an accomplishment it's a setback for a party that struggled to win over African Americans.

Seeing that only 8% of the Black vote went to Donald J. Trump, we can't count on Black men like previous elections. We need to count on Black women to help bring Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House.

The Right Seizes On Leftist Michael Moore's Trump Remarks!

Leftist agitator and entertainer Michael Moore gets attention. He says Trump will blow out this election and leftists and far-right trolls seize on his remarks.
BLACK LIVES MATTER

VOTE

VOTE EARLY SAFELY


VOTE MAIL-IN OR ABSENTEE 

VOTE IN-PERSON SAFELY

DO NOT SIT THIS ELECTION OUT BECAUSE OF TROLLS AND AGITATORS IN THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA. THEY ARE DISTRACTIONS. WE CAN'T AFFORD FOUR MORE YEARS OF DONALD J. TRUMP/

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS.

Why do they keep putting his ass on?

Black voters did not pick Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary. I don't get why these idiots can't see that. Joe Biden will likely not get the white vote anyway. These fools are killing us with ignorance and hatred of people of color.

White leftists and white conservatives are not friends of Black America. If Donald J. Trump is reelected, expect more violence and civil unrest. Expect those in the junk food media and politics to be targeted for violent attacks.

Entertainer Michael Moore once again gets the junk food media's attention.

Another worthless agitator who continues to piss pour on the parade of Democrats who are embolden to defeat Trump at the ballot box.

Moore, an actor, director and producer is a staunch supporter of Sanders posted on social media his thoughts of the candidates.






He said get ready for another four years of Trump which set social media on fire.

Many of the far-right seized on the remarks and said "Hey, that asshole Michael Moore says that Trump will win." Many leftists 🌹 agitators agree with the notion as well.

Progressives are just sick and tired of these leftists. Most are wishing they stop inviting Moore on cable news. Matter of fact, I am sick and tired of hearing from Moore, Nina Turner, David Sirota, Katie Halper, Ryan Grim and Jeffrey Shaun King.

The polls are out and it does show that Trump has a 49.9% chance of winning reelection. The polls don't matter. It's matter of the electoral college which decides who becomes the President of the United States. If one candidate can earn 270 electoral votes, then they will be the president. The polls don't mean shit.


Click the map to create your own at 270toWin.com


Moore is counting on Trump to win so he can boast about how he and many leftists were "right" when it comes to picking Sanders over Biden. Sanders would have been the most vulnerable candidate. Folks already hate him for hurting Hillary Clinton and of course, many are not willing to embrace democratic socialism in the United States. Folks are not buying into Sanders' envision of America.

We already have populism in the White House and it's led to where we're at now.

The coronavirus hasn't disappeared. It hasn't went away in the summer. The infection rate has soared over 6.8 million cases. The death count is over 200,000. The "miracles" that Trump and the FDA are throwing out are not tested well. States are sending students back to school and it's backfiring big time. Face masks are now a political issue.

People are acting foolish when asked to wear facial masks in facilities. Trust me, I've dealt with it multiple times with people who refuse to wear face mask at my job.

We have unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. We have unrest in Portland, Oregon. Since the deaths of George Floyd, Brenna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks and the shooting of Jacob Blake, Blacks are getting fed up with police/white vigilante violence.

White leftists are more concerned about things we're never gonna get passed in Congress with Republicans.

The Democrats can't get their act together. I mean it's frustrating to see leftists try to hurt Biden because they're not happy Sanders lost again. The primaries are over and we have a nominee.

Biden was always an underdog and he's not taking this for granted. I mean Biden knows the risk of allowing Trump and his allies dictate the message. Biden should punch harder and start resorting to the tactics of Trump.

He should ask for foreign help like Trump did with the Russian Federation.

Democrats should not take this election for granted. Don't believe the polls and don't listen to the noise. Campaign safely and make women of color the voice of Biden and Harris.

Black women will save the day. Don't count on white women, Black men or young voters. Democrats should court them but don't rely on this block. This block voted for Trump.

They ain't reliable anymore. Count on moderates, progressives, college educated, Black women and disgruntled Republicans. They seem to be the only rational folks so far.



Listen to Trevor Noah. He may be a comedian, satirist and agitator, but damn it, he's usually right on the far-right and leftist like Moore.

Shaun King Trying To Bilk Off Chadwick Boseman's Death!

Shaun King defends his latest bullshit scam.
BLACK LIVES MATTER

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.



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.



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.



Candace Owens Ain't Hating Her Bump!

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

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.

Can't leave that shit alone, Candace.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I remember the first time I learned about abortion in school. “It’s a clump of cells until after 3 months” said my obtuse gym teacher turned health instructor. Fast forward to more than a decade later to my 10 week scan, and I will never forget the feelings I experienced. I was amazed that our baby already 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. 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. Today it’s become fashionable for narcissistic celebrities, to perpetuate such brainwash amongst their fans. Like @mileycyrus, posing half-naked with her tongue out over a cake that reads “abortion”. Like @jameelajamilofficial, tweeting to scores of vulnerable young girls about how “proud” she is of an earlier abortion from her teen years. Years ago, I would have thought these women were heroic feminists. Today I know that they are anything but. And so as I move into this next chapter of my life I want to say this: To all of the young girls who have vocally supported abortion— you are allowed to change your mind. To all the young women who made uninformed decisions to go through with abortions: you are not “murderers” and you are not automatically disqualified from being pro-life. You too can have a change of heart. Education followed by transformation is one of life’s greatest offerings. These past 5 1/2 months have been a whirlwind. A viral video with over 200 million views, comedians threatening to physically assault me, adult men degrading me because they disagree with my viewpoints on George Floyd, while others have accused me of not “showing up”, not being invited, or not caring enough to jump into the perpetual protest scene. It is such a relief to finally share the truth. Life is a miracle. Life is sacred. And when women carry life, we get to become the keepers of some of the Universe’s greatest secrets: beginnings.
A post shared by Candace Owens (@realcandaceowens) on


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.



The Silent Struggle! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

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.




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.



Former president Barack Obama tweeted



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.

BREAKING: Chadwick Boseman Passed Away!


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.





Trump High On 70!

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.



Then of course, the eyes rolled when Melania Trump greeted Ivanka Trump, the president's oldest daughter.



They also mocked Melania's dress. Her green dress was green and it was fodder for mockery.





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.




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.

The "Sweet" Chickens Bash Black Lives Matter!

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.





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.



March On Washington!

The March on Washington.
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

BLACK LIVES MATTER

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.

Brian Stelter: Trump Turned Fox News Into Propaganda!


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.

Lord & Taylor Falls In The Retail Graveyard!

Lord & Taylor closing remaining stores.
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.
