Guam faces a destructive typhon.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero, Gov. Arnold Palacios, Rep. Gregorio Sablan (D-MP) and Rep. James Moylan (R-GU) are aware of the potential diaster that two U.S. territories are facing. The typhon has the U.S. territories of Guam and Northern Mariana Islands in its path.

A Category 4 typhon is approaching Guam. Mind you, if a disaster does happen, House Republicans will not do much. They will oppose disaster relief, food stamps and federal assistance for workers who restore normality.

It will be part of the irony of Republicans and their obsession to cut the safety net.

Guerrero said for residents to remain calm and prepare for Mawar, which the National Weather Service said could hit southern Guam around midday Wednesday. She ordered the National Guard to help those in low-lying areas evacuate ahead of the storm as residents stocked up on jugs of water and generators.

“Current forecasts are not favorable to our island,” she said. “We are at the crosshairs of Typhoon Mawar. Take action now, stay calm, stay informed and stay safe.”

If Guam doesn’t take a direct hit, it will be very close, said Patrick Doll, the lead meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam.

The storm was intensifying as it approached Guam, and the weather service warned of a “triple threat” of winds, torrential rains and life-threatening storm surge. The center of the Category 4 storm, with sustained winds of 130 mph (209 kph), was about 190 miles (300 kilometers) southeast of Guam on Tuesday and was “wobbling” to the north-northwest at 8 mph (13 kph), according to the weather service.

Winds could reach as high as 150 mph (240 kph), Guerrero said in her video message. And Doll said the typhoon could cause “extensive damage.”

The governor said that she would place Guam essentially in a lockdown effective 1 p.m. Tuesday and that those in low-lying areas needed to leave by 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Rain from the storm’s outer bands was falling Tuesday.

A storm surge of 6 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meters) above the normal high tide was expected and could reach as high as 15 feet (4 1/2 meters). Surf was expected to build sharply in the next day or two along south- and east-facing reefs, with dangerous surf of 20 to 25 feet (6 to 7 1/2 meters) Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday, the weather service said.

At the island’s grocery and hardware stores Monday, people left with shopping carts full of canned goods, cases of water and generators, the Pacific Daily News reported.

The Rev. Francis X. Hezel, a Jesuit priest and assistant pastor at Santa Barbara Church in Dededo, was trying to visit people at the hospital before it closed to visitors Tuesday.

Before hitting the road, he said, he had trouble finding someone to help him put air in his tires because everyone was busy readying their homes to withstand the storm.

“I live in a rectory,” he said. “I’m just closing the windows hoping that the gusts don’t bash them in. Praying for the best, I guess.”

Officials warned residents who aren’t in fully concrete structures to consider moving for safety. Many homes are made of wood and tin.

“The triple threat of cat 4 typhoon force winds, torrential rains and life-threatening storm surge are all expected for Guam and Rota,” the weather service said in a Tuesday morning update.

Rota, an island in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, was also under a typhoon warning, Doll said. Tinian and Saipan, in the Northern Marianas, were under tropical storm warnings.

Some people in those areas are still in temporary shelters or tents after Category 5 Super Typhoon Yutu in 2018, Doll noted.

“Guam takes a Category 4 or 5 hit every five to seven years. Mother Nature has spared us as of late,” Doll said, adding that the last direct hit was in 2002. “So we are way overdue.”

Will The GOP Call Timmy "Woke"?

I'm not woke.

Most Republicans want a candidate that "owns the libs." It means that many of these voters are concerned about culture wars and pissing off Democrats.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) is officially running for president. He has gotten an endorsement from Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and Oracle's Larry Ellison. Ellison is putting some mega bucks into the Republican. The South Carolina senator is the only African American Republican in the current session.

But will Republicans back the Black guy?

Will Black America support a man who grew up in poverty to become a senator?

I strongly doubt it.

Known for his optimistic outlook, Scott, 57, told the stories of his grandfather, who once picked cotton in the Jim Crow South but later saw his grandson ascend to a seat in Congress, and his single mother, who worked 16-hour days as a nurse’s aide to support his family.  

His grandfather, he said, had a “stubborn faith in God, in himself and faith in what America would be. He looked beyond the pain of his present, and he saw the promise of his future.” And his mother’s work ethic “taught me that there is dignity in all work.”

Interwoven into Scott’s anecdotes about inspiration were attacks on Biden and Democrats. To name a few, he criticized them for allowing “waitresses and mechanics” to help pay for the student loan forgiveness “of lawyers and doctors making six figures,” for having weak border policies that allow migrants and fentanyl to pour into the country, and for “demonizing, demoralizing and defunding the police.”

He said, under President Joe Biden, the country  is “retreating” from patriotism, religious liberty, security, dignity in work, excellence in schools and more. 

Scott did not mention Trump or any of his other competitors for the GOP nomination, but he said he believes he’s the candidate “the far-left fears the most.”

“When I cut your taxes, they called me a prop,” he said. “When I refunded the police, they called me a token. When I pushed back on President Biden, they even called me the N-word. I disrupt their narrative. I threaten their control. The truth of my life disrupts their lives.” 

Scott said if he were elected president, he’d secure the Southwest border, including by completing the wall started under Trump; win the economic competition against China; strengthen the economy; and bolster the military. 

He pointed to his role as one of the lead authors in the 2017 Republican tax reform law. The legislation, he said, cut taxes for families, brought jobs and investment back from overseas and created “opportunity zones,” which are state-designated, economically distressed communities ripe for investment.

“That was just one bill,” Scott said. “Imagine what we could do with an entire agenda.”

Scott also said he would require every able-bodied American to work and give parents a greater choice in the schools their children attend and a voice in their curriculum.

Scott repeated a declaration he famously made in a televised 2021 speech following Biden’s first joint address of Congress when the South Carolina senator said, “America is not a racist country.”

“I'm living proof that America is the land of opportunity and not a land of oppression.”

He also said, “We need to stop canceling our Founding Fathers” — many of whom owned slaves — “and start celebrating them for the geniuses that they were.”

“They weren't perfect, but they believed that we could become a more perfect union,” Scott said.

He can trash Biden all he want and say he is a conservative but the white nationalists who backed Washed Up 45 see him as "woke."

He has to walk a fine line which is difficult. He supported Washed Up 45 for 2024 before he decided to enter the race. He backed almost every policy including the confirmations of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. 

Many of these candidates owe their reelection victories to the former president. The former president's nationalist and pro-white agenda has touched millions and it appears not to be waning.

Mind you, the junk food media continues to talk about him. Even the progressive agitators are still obsessed with Washed Up 45 and not defending Biden's agenda.

Mushmouth.

Biden is getting low approval despite him delivering jobs and focusing on bringing down debt. But he is tasked to clean up the messes of Washed Up 45 and Republicans like Scott.

Scott along with Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) tried to pass the George Floyd Policing Act. Republicans are blocking it. 

It was previous worked on by Kamala Harris, now current Vice President of the United States. Scott, Booker and Harris tried to pass it in 2020. They also tried to passing voting rights legislation.

Scott walked away from both of these.

Scott opposes statehood for Washington, DC and Puerto Rico. He believes it gives Democrats an advantage. Republicans have expressed racism when describing why they oppose statehood and voting rights. Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia have a non-white majority population and are larger than seven states. Of those states, Republicans control. He opposes voting in presidential elections for permenant residents living  American Samoa, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Scott is considered a long shot candidate. He as well as former governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley and former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchison polling at 1%. Vivek Ramaswamy is polling at 2%. Larry Elder is polling at 0.9%. Washed Up 45 has at least 58% of the vote. Current Florida governor Ron DeSantis who will join this week is polling at 28%. 

Scott reminds me of Mushmouth from Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. It all came to me when I looked at Twitter and someone who is a Black extremist who tagged him as the Mushmouth senator from South Carolina.

Tom Carper Out!

Delaware senator Tom Carper retires.

Delaware senator Tom Carper, longtime Democratic lawmaker announces he is retiring.

He stated that at large House member Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) should run. She has not confirmed any intentions but she is favored if she does. She is the first African American woman to be elected a member of U.S. House of Representatives. 

It puts another seat up for grabs in the 2024 elections. Mind you that nothing is off the table. Ohio, Arizona, West Virginia, Montana and Michigan will be the toughest fights for the Democrats. 

Maryland, Virginia, Nevada, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Maine will possibly challenging if moderate Republicans jump into the race. Democrats face an uphill battle. 

Ohio's Sherrod Brown has at least a 54% chance of winning.

Nevada's Jacky Rosen has at least a 52% chance of winning.

Montana's Jon Tester has at least a 49% chance of winning.

Arizona's Kyrsten Sinema has at least a 48% chance of winning.

West Virginia's Joe Manchin has at least a 51% chance of winning.

Maine's Angus King has at least a 58% chance of winning.

Pennsylvania's Bob Casey, Jr. has at least a 54% chance of winning.

Florida's Rick Scott has at least a 55% chance of winning.

Texas' Ted Cruz has at least a 57% chance of winning.

Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin has at least a 51% chance of winning.

Nebraska's Pete Ricketts has at least a 60% chance of winning.

Carper, 76 served as governor of Delaware before winning four terms as a Delaware senator. His retirement may cause a pitched battle among Democrats to win the party's primary for the deep blue seat. Carper did indicate support for a specific successor on Monday.

Carper endorsed Lisa Blunt Rochester's potential Senate run.

"While nothing is forever, the Delaware Democratic Party is blessed today with a bench as strong as any I’ve ever seen in the 50 years that I’ve called Delaware home," Carper said in a press conference. "If there was ever an opportune time to step aside and pass the torch to the next generation, it’s coming, and it will be here on January 3, 2025. 

"But, until then, God willing, I’ll continue working 60-hour weeks and coming home on the train most nights as long as Martha keeps leaving the light on for me," he added.

Carper says he called Rochester Monday morning and said he was "getting out of the way" in order for her to run. He said she accepted his support but then he declined to say whether she plans to run.

Carper is one of several Democrats who have announced their retirements in 2024. A total of 34 Senate seats – 20 currently held by Democrats, 11 currently held by Republicans and three currently held by independents – will be up for grabs in the next cycle. The three independent senators currently caucus with Democrats in the Senate, meaning Democrats will be tasked with defending 23 of the 34 seats in 2024 if they wish to maintain their majority in the legislative body.

Carper's retirement does not present a major risk of flipping red, however, as the state's electorate leans heavily toward Democrats.

No confirmation of running from the controversial independent Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona or Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia. These two have stood in the way of getting President Joe Biden's key issues from being passed. They often support the president in about 90% of his agenda but sparred with the party's progressive base often.

No Moscow Vacations!

Russia bans Biden and Stephen Colbert.

At the G7 Summit, President Joe Biden has confirmed that Ukraine president Volodayrr Zelenskyy will be getting F16 aircraft in its fight against Russia. In response to the announcement, the Federation had added 500 Americans to its sanctions and deny entry list.

President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former president Barack Obama, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL), Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, Erin Burnett, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Hillary Clinton, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Jon Huntsman and numerous others join a list of banned entry.

Russia on Friday announced it was banning “500 Americans,” many prominent figures of US executive power, from entering the country “in a response to the regularly anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the Joe Biden administration,” according to a statement from Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The statement also said: “The attached ‘list-500’ also includes those in government and law enforcement agencies who are directly involved in the persecution of dissidents in the wake of the so-called Storming the Capitol.” On January 6, 2021, scores of supporters of Washed Up 45 sought to stop Biden’s certification as president and attacked the U.S. Capitol.

Also on the list is U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, the man who shot rioter Ashli Babbitt.

These [Republican] Morons Will Crash The Economy Because They Want Cuts To The Safety Net!

Republicans are playing games.

The debt ceiling debacle creeps. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warns that Congress must raise the debt ceiling or the United States defaults and it could trigger a global recession.

It is a hardline House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) refusing to pass a debt ceiling increase. In this so called debt ceiling increase, the Republican controlled House of Representatives passed a budget that included unilateral spending cuts to domestic programs. In their budget which is limited with details, it mainly is a culture war package.

The Senate declaring any legislation that affects the middle class is not going to pass and President Joe Biden stated that any attempts to pass a debt ceiling increase with spending cuts is going to be vetoed.

Republicans are still trying to paint this as the fault of the president and senate Democrats.

Biden had to cut his G7 Summit appearance to head to Washington to meet with McCarthy in last minute talks. The Republicans vow to oppose any bills that the president or senate present.

When I lost my job in 2022, I applied for unemployment. It was very frustrating to collect a week's worth of money. In Ohio, you must be actively looking for employment opportunities to receive unemployment. So if you lost a $60,000 a year job and now are working a $35,000 a year job, then you can get a measly $400 unemployment check.

That check will be used to pay for child care, electric bills, cable, phone bill, mortgage, water bills, rent, car payments, food and waste removal. So what you end up with nothing.

Most Americans work their asses to earn benefits. SNAP, Social security, Medicare and Medicaid are the safety net. It saves Americans for anarchy. They also want to end funding for Ukraine. They don't want to cut defense spending or funding to Israel.

These so called lawmakers who want government out of the way are demanding changes to the safety net. These changes include major cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, the SNAP program and the student debt program.

Mind you that community block grants, child care credits, Energy Star, public housing, public broadcasting and disaster relief are also on the chopping block as well.

It seems like meddling in your personal business or your refrigerator is Republican business. They want smaller government when it comes to polluting the water and air. Now they want to keep the poor and needy hungry by passing laws or modifying legislation to require the unable to work so they can earn food stamps.

Blame the poor and needy for the economy. See the Republicans have love for the wealthy. They refuse to raise taxes on the rich. They refuse to increase Supplemental Nutrient Assistance Program to those who have no options.

I can't even obtain food stamps because of that. I am single with a child that lives in another city. I am able bodied and I still don't make enough.

The middle and lower class needs the safety net. It prevents them from robbing and looting stores.

Cause if you have to steal to keep food on the table, you probably would. Trust me, if the opportunities were given, the poor would steal from a grocery store if they couldn't have access to the safety nets. Believe me, you never know what happens until you become one of them!

Say if you're disabled by being either deaf, blind, schizophrenic, allergic to an element, or terminally ill, there may be an ounce of sympathy towards these people. But given what Republicans are today, they wouldn't care.

When you're a felon in certain states, it's nearly impossible to get a job in the United States. Let alone you're a sexual offender and you're trying to find a job.

In the minds of the racist right, some are fixated on those "gubmint" leeches taking out of their hardworking pockets. They don't see that less than 10% of the federal funds go to food stamps. Most of the federal funds go to either infrastructure and federal agencies.

With the rising costs of electricity, heat, food, gas, rent, necessities such as toilet paper are going up, more people are using safety nets. The more things that go up, the likelihood that many would resort to safety nets and food banks for assistance.

People on food stamps didn't cause an economic recession. The economy went under because of the auto, financial, housing and banking industry collapsing.

Companies are still trying to hire employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.

Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.

Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.

We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.

Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.

The safety net: It's this thing that helps the middle class and lower class. The safety net prevents Americans from rioting and/or looting. The safety net stops people from shoplifting from stores to feed their families.

The safety net prevents a person from robbing you of your luxuries.

The safety net is only 10% of the federal spending. The way some people put it, 50% of the federal spending goes to food stamps and welfare. Some people believe that the safety net is making people lazy. And this is the stuff I've heard from people who think that it will never happen to them. They get their arousal over a person using an EBT card to pay for name brand items or expensive food.

Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for the economic recession.

Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!

Play Me A Tune!

Serenade.

Allegations of adultery from insufferable lawmaker Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). She and Jayson Boebert are heading for divorce as rumors of the two having affairs surface.

Christian singer and white nationalist Sean Feucht allegedly had an affair with the controversial lawmaker. He denies the allegations and threatened lawsuits against those who brought up the claims.

Feucht is a married father of four. Boebert is a married mother of four with a grandchild on the way. Her divorce proceedings are happening now.

Boebert, 36 is a far right lawmaker who represents the 3rd Congressional District of Colorado and became an immediate lightening rod for noise. 

Boebert as well as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jamaal Bowman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Ayanna Presley, Cori Bush, Maxwell Frost, Ilhan Omar, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, James Comer, Beth Van Duyne, Byron Donalds, Rashida Tlaib, Andy Ogles, Ro Khanna, George Santos, Anna Paulina Luna, Katie Porter and Eric Swalwell are noise makers. 

Democrats and Republicans should be tired of them.

None of them are productive. They are House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) headaches.

In late April, Boebert quietly filed for divorce. The April 25 filing seeks to dissolve her marriage to Jayson Boebert, with whom she shares four sons. An affidavit of service, also obtained by The Daily Beast, indicate that Jayson Boebert appeared to be caught off guard by the court proceedings. He chased away a process server with an expletive-laden tirade and let his dogs loose when he was served with the divorce papers, the affidavit said.

“Once he learned that he was being served with Dissolution of Marriage papers he was extremely angry,” the process server wrote. “I tried to hand him the documents but [he] did not take them. He started yelling and using profanities, and told me that I was trespassing, and that he was calling the Sheriff’s Office. I told him I was leaving the documents on the chair outside of the door, he closed the door then let the dogs out.”

The document noted that Jayson was cleaning a gun and drinking a “tall glass of beer” when he was served.

Lauren Boebert may need more protection from Jayson.

Boebert, who has repeatedly spoken of the importance of “family values” in her short political career, told The Daily Beast in a statement Tuesday that the divorce was due to “irreconcilable differences.”

“It is with a heavy weight on my heart that I have filed for divorce from my husband,” the statement said. “I am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process. I’ve always been faithful in my marriage, and I believe strongly in marriage, which makes this announcement that much more difficult. This is truly about irreconcilable differences.”

Boebert was then the controversial owner of Shooters Grille in Rifle, Colorado. Her ass defied Gov. Jared Polis' COVID-19 orders in 2020. She also traveled to Texas to troll then 2020 presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke. Boebert who styled herself as a gun toting hip shaking chick won the Republican primary against Washed Up 45 backed Scott Tipton. 

Washed Up 45 quickly backed her and praised her for her upbeat performance as a troll.

She would end up defeating the Democrat in 2020. Upon arriving she made allies with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). They heckle President Joe Biden and call for impeachment of him, Vice President Kamala Harris and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Greene is considered a rival now after Boebert and Gaetz opposed McCarthy as Speaker of the House and sent the House of Representatives into 15 votes to allow him the honor.

Boebert spent only 20% or less of her time in the 3rd Congressional District. Her restaurant went out business. She mostly attends political events and speaks for fees in other states. It caught the attention of Adam Frisch. The moderate Democrat pushed hard to defeat her and came with 530 votes of defeating her. 

She remained still controversial despite the warning that her noise will hurt her in the general election.

She spent only 25% of her time in the district. She continues to be out of district and doing things that won't benefit the constituents of the Western Slope and southern Colorado.

Boebert, Greene and Gaetz have allegedly cheated on their spouses. Greene had her husband file for divorce. She was cheating on Perry Greene with Brian Glenn, a far right media personality.

Gaetz married his wife quietly after the feds investigated his alleged pimping of an underage girl. He is under federal watch.

Cashier Who Locked Victims With Active Shooter Charged With Murder!

Hot head cashier got charged in Detroit gas station shooting as well.

A Michigan man is facing charges for a reckless action.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

An escalation of egos led to a shooting of three innocent men. It was announced that the Exxon cashier who locked the doors and allowed a terrorist shoot and kill one man and seriously injuring two other men will face involuntary manslaughter.

His lawyer got an uphill challenge. He will have to defend a man who made a call that he knew was a mistake and it led to the death of a victim. The shooter would ended up fleeing. He took off in a family member's car then went to a motel to have sex with a hooker before he was caught.

A magistrate set bond at $200,000 for Al-Hassan Aiyash, 22, who is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a customer. He is accused of being grossly negligent by locking the door when a man tried to leave the gas station with items worth less than $4. The cashier also had another case involving road rage before this incident.

A man was killed and two more were wounded on May 6. Samuel McCray, 27, has been charged with murder and other crimes.

Aiyash’s attorney said it’s “really not fair” to set a high bond while prosecutors present an uncommon legal theory.

“He was doing his job,” Jamil Khuja told the judge. “Did he panic and act inappropriately in a way? Maybe, but that’s the best they can argue here.”

McCray tried to leave the gas station without paying for items when an electronic purchase didn’t work, according to police.

Had he allowed the shooter to leave and let the Detroit Metro Police handle the matter, he wouldn't be in this mess. 

Aiyash, who was behind protective glass, remotely locked the door, keeping McCray and three bystanders inside during the dispute. He unlocked the door shortly before the shooting, but the others apparently didn’t know it, the prosecutor’s office said.

“People were begging to be let out,” Magistrate Malaika Ramsey-Heath said before setting bond.

Detroit police Chief James White said he would support a local ban on stores locking people inside.

“I see no logical reason a person needs to be locked inside for any reason without having the ability to get out,” White said.

It kind of reminds me of the Oxford man who shoot his school.

His parents bought him the firearms. They knew he had anger issues and was considering to shooting up the school. 

The parents went on the lamb and were eventually caught and all three of them are facing state and federal charges.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news. 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. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.

No remorse.

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.

Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.

Detroit shooting inside a gas station. The cashier locked the victims inside.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

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. 

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. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend’s social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline’s website or the Crisis Text Line’s website.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. 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.

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

Timmy, Tim, Tim....!

Now he's in.

Back in 2019, there were three Black senators. 

Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kamala Harris of California and this Republican senator.

In 2019, Booker and Harris ran for president. Both dropped out the race before the Iowa Caucus. Harris would end up becoming vice presidential nominee for Joe Biden. In 2020, Biden won and Harris became the first woman, first African American and first Asian American to be elected. 

Currently, Harris is the current Vice President of the United States.

She, Booker and Sen. Raphael Warnock (R-GA) call him a friend. They strongly disagree with his politics and his lack of self awareness.

South Carolina senator is filing paperwork to run for the Republican nomination. He will expect a fury of attacks from Washed Up 45, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and of course Black America.

Timothy Eugene Scott is now officially joining in the cabal of Republican candidates seeking to be the nominee for 2024. But like with Haley, former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchison, Larry Elder and Vivek Ramaswamy, they are going to be drowned out by Washed Up 45 and the non stop drivel between him and expecting candidate Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

On Friday, Scott placed his paperwork in with the Federal Election Commission and is expected to formally join this.

He is a far right Republican. He came as the first African American Republican to be elected since moderate Edward Brooke of Massachusetts. He was a former U.S. House Member for one term before Haley chose him to be the senator after white nationalist senator Jim DeMitt left to lobby for far right activists. He is currently serving as a senator.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) ran in 2016 miserably.

Scott is one of 11 African-Americans to have served in the U.S. Senate, and the first to have served in both chambers of Congress. He is the seventh African-American elected to the Senate and the fourth from the Republican Party. He is the first African-American senator from South Carolina, the first African-American senator to be elected from the Southern United States since 1881 (four years after the end of Reconstruction), and the first African-American Republican to serve in the Senate since Edward Brooke departed in 1979.

Going to be a tough road for Tim Scott.

Scott wants to call himself the color blind candidate. He is trying to undermine Biden by saying the president is emboldened by grievances. 

Bud Light and Disney would like a call.

“If you wanted a blueprint to ruin America, you’d keep doing exactly what Joe Biden has let the far left do to our country for the past two years,” he said. “Tell every white kid they’re oppressors. Tell Black and brown kids their destiny is grievance, not greatness.”

He easily won reelection last year and had long said his current term, which runs through 2029, would be his last.

As a senator, Scott has been a go-to Republican voice on issues including policing and was the GOP’s chief negotiator on legislation that ultimately stalled in 2021. He has also spoken on the Senate floor about his personal experiences as a Black man in America.

“I have felt the anger, the frustration, the sadness and the humiliation that comes with feeling like you’re being targeted for nothing more than just being yourself,” Scott said in 2016, recounting how he was pulled over seven times in a year. He was once stopped by a U.S. Capitol Police officer who recognized the Senate lapel pin that Scott was wearing — but did not recognize Scott.

Scott rejects the notion that the country is inherently racist and has repudiated the teaching of critical race theory, an academic framework that presents the idea that the nation’s institutions maintain the dominance of white people.

“Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country,” Scott said. “It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination. And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.”

Scott believes parents should have more oversight over what their kids learn in public schools about race, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Scott has twice addressed the Republican National Convention — in 2012 as a first-term congressman and in 2020 as a senator. At the last GOP convention, he praised Washed Up 45 for building “the most inclusive economy ever” and for supporting funding for historically Black colleges and universities.

Charlamagne Tha Dud!

Buh bye.

Poor Lenny.....

Lenard Mckelvey is a radio personality who is an alleged rapist. He is a shit starter who goes under the name of Charlamagne Tha God.

Well he has a radio program called The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy and a rotating guest female host. Angela Yee left after tension between Envy and Lenny.

Comedy Central had gave him a program. Hell of a Week: Tha God's Honest Truth was on for two seasons and it was a trainwreck. It ruined Tiffany Cross and it riled up Vice President Kamala Harris.

It was basically a shitshow and it was about time they cancelled it.

The Paramount Global network has canceled animated series Tooning Out The News and Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God.

Both shows are exec produced by Stephen Colbert.

Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God ran for two seasons on the network. It launched in September 2021, initially as Tha God’s Honest Truth before it was rebranded for its second season. The weekly series turned into more of a panel format for the second season, which premiered last July after The Daily Show.

It made its biggest headlines with an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, where The Breakfast Club host pressed her on the power of Senator Joe Manchin and she told him to stop “talking like a Republican”. It was also nominated for a WGA Award.

The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios. Rachael Edwards serves as showrunner and exec produces alongside McKelvey, Colbert, Josh Lieb, Aaron McGruder, Karen Kinney, James Dixon and Norm Aladjem with Lisa D. Goumelle as EIC. Ari Pearce, Bola Fapohunda and Driadonna Roland are executive producers with Matthew Parillo as EIC for MTV Entertainment Studios.

“We will not be resuming production on another season of Hell of A Week,” said a Comedy Central spokesperson. “We thank Charlamagne and the amazing team behind the show for its impactful conversations and the incredible collaboration as we look ahead to our future partnership with Charlamagne.”

The Far Right Dismiss Prince Harry And Duchess Meghan Car Chase!

The junk food media can't leave them alone.

For the last time, her name is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. It is not Rachel Meghan Markle or Meghan Markle. She has a royal title.

Okay, the far right dismissed the chase that happened in New York this week.

They have constantly attacked Meghan. What reasons, I don't know!

But clearly, most of these folks including the insufferable Candace Owens are attacking her because she married a British royal. I mean what will it take for them to understand that Meghan and Harry are trying to live their lives in peace. What does it take?

Will they have to be killed because of these agitators relentless projections.

Prince Harry announced that the couple, as well as Meghan's mother Doria Ragland had been accosted by paparazzi in multiple window-blinded cars following Meghan's presentation with a Vision of Women Award in Midtown Manhattan the previous night. The spokesperson stated the car chase lasted approximately two hours. Harry described this episode as his closest personal experience to which his late mother Princess Diana had been subjected to at the time of her death.

Mayor Eric Adams did confirm that an incident occurred. He said that the New York Police Department will be investigating the incident.

The pair, together with Meghan’s mother, were followed by photographers after they left a charity event in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers,” a spokesperson for the couple said in a statement.

The spokesperson added that the “near catastrophic car chase” came “at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.”

Law enforcement sources pushed back against any characterization that the incident was “near catastrophic” but conceded that the couple’s ride Tuesday night was “a bit chaotic.”

Julian Phillips, the police department’s deputy commissioner of public information, said officers “assisted the private security team protecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

“There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging,” Phillips said in a statement. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.”

The couple spent Tuesday night in the Upper East Side of Manhattan and didn't want photographers to know where they were staying, law enforcement sources said.

Photographers followed the couple for 75 minutes up and down the Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive, the main thoroughfare of Manhattan's East Side, sources said.

The traveling party went to the police department's 19th Precinct station house, on East 67th Street between Lexington and Third avenues, for about 15 minutes before they got into another car and left without being followed, sources said.

At the station, the couple's team flagged down a taxi driven by Sonny Singh, 37, of Queens.

The couple had attended the Women of Vision Awards and left New York’s Ziegfeld Ballroom at about 10 p.m., police officials said. Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, also attended the event.

It was the first public event the couple had attended since King Charles III's coronation, which Meghan didn't attend. Harry's mother, Princess Diana, died in a Paris car crash while being pursued by paparazzi in 1997.

Jim Brown Passed Away!

Jim Brown has passed away.

The Dawg Pound mourns the passing of running back, NFL Hall of Fame honoree, actor, civil rights activist an alleged sexual predator Jim Brown passed away.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former president Donald J. Trump, former president Barack Obama and former first Lady Michelle Obama were notified of his passing.

"It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of my husband, Jim Brown," Monique Brown said in a statement. "He passed peacefully last night at our LA home. To the world he was an activist, actor, and football star. To our family, he was a loving and wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Our hearts are broken."

Brown is one of the greatest running backs of all time, having won three MVPs (including in his rookie season in 1957) and being named an All-Pro in each of his nine NFL seasons, eight of which he was a First-teamer. He was the sixth overall pick in the 1957 NFL Draft out of Syracuse.

Brown led the NFL in rushing yards in every season he played but one, and also had the most rushing touchdowns on five occasions.

His 106 rushing touchdowns are the sixth-most all-time, and his 12,312 rushing yards rank the 11th most in NFL history.

Brown retired after 1965, another season in which he was a First-team All-Pro, to pursue acting and civil rights activism. He appeared in more than 30 films.

"It’s impossible to describe the profound love and gratitude we feel for having the opportunity to be a small piece of Jim’s incredible life and legacy. We mourn his passing, but celebrate the indelible light he brought to the world," the Browns said in a statement.

"Our hearts are with Jim’s family, loved ones, and all those he impacted along the way."

"One of the greatest players in NFL history, a true pioneer and activist. Jim Brown’s legacy will live on forever," the NFL said.

He was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971 and won the NFL championship in 1964.

Jim Brown played as a fullback for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL) from 1957 through 1965. Considered to be one of the greatest running backs of all time, as well as one of the greatest players in NFL history, Brown was a Pro Bowl invitee every season he was in the league, was recognized as the AP NFL Most Valuable Player three times, and won an NFL championship with the Browns in 1964. He led the league in rushing yards in eight out of his nine seasons, and by the time he retired, he held most major rushing records. In 2002, he was named by The Sporting News as the greatest professional football player ever.

Brown earned unanimous All-America honors playing college football at Syracuse University, where he was an all-around player for the Syracuse Orangemen football team. The team later retired his number 44 jersey, and he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995. He is also widely considered one of the greatest lacrosse players of all time, and the Premier Lacrosse League MVP Award is named in his honor. Brown also excelled in basketball and track and field.

Legandary running back for the Cleveland Browns.

In his professional career, Brown carried the ball 2,359 times for 12,312 rushing yards and 106 touchdowns, which were all records when he retired. He averaged 104.3 rushing yards per game, and is the only player in NFL history to average over 100 rushing yards per game for his career. His 5.2 yards per rush is third-best among running backs, behind Marion Motley and Jamaal Charles. Brown was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971. He was named to the NFL's 50th, 75th, and 100th Anniversary All-Time Teams, comprising the best players in NFL history. Brown was honored at the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship as the greatest college football player of all time. His number 32 jersey is retired by the Browns.

Shortly before the end of his football career, Brown became an actor, obtaining 53 acting credits and several leading roles throughout the 1970s. He has been described as Hollywood's first black action hero and his role in the 1969 film 100 Rifles made cinematic history for featuring interracial love scenes.

He was born in St. Simmons Island, Georgia near Brunswick. 

Brown married his first wife Sue Brown (née Jones) in September 1959. She sued for divorce in 1968, charging him with "gross neglect." Together they had three children, twins born 1960, and a son born 1962. Their divorce was finalized in 1972. Brown was ordered to pay $2,500 per month in alimony and $100 per week for child support.

In 1965, Brown was arrested in his hotel room for assault and battery against an 18-year-old named Brenda Ayres; he was later acquitted of those charges. A year later, he fought paternity allegations that he fathered Brenda Ayres' child.

In 1968, Brown was charged with assault with intent to commit murder after model Eva Bohn-Chin was found beneath the balcony of Brown's second-floor apartment. The charges were later dismissed after Bohn-Chin refused to cooperate with the prosecutor's office. Brown was also ordered to pay a $300 fine for striking a deputy sheriff involved in the investigation during the incident. In Brown's autobiography, he stated that Bohn-Chin was angry and jealous over an affair he had been having with Gloria Steinem, and this argument is what led to the "misunderstanding with the police".

Jim Brown and Ye endorsed Washed Up 45 in 2016 and 2020.

In 1970, Brown was found not guilty of assault and battery, the charges stemming from a road-rage incident that had occurred in 1969.

In December 1973, Brown proposed to 18-year-old Diane Stanley, a Clark College student he met in Acapulco, Mexico, in April of that year. They broke off their engagement in 1974.

In 1975, Brown was convicted of misdemeanor battery for beating and choking his golfing partner, Frank Snow. He was sentenced to one day in jail, two years' probation, and a fine of $500.

In 1985, Brown was charged with raping a 33-year-old woman. The charges were later dismissed.

In 1986, Brown was arrested for assaulting his fiancée Debra Clark. Clark refused to press charges, though, and Brown was released.

Brown married his second wife, Monique, in 1997; they have two children. In 1999, Brown was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats toward his wife. Later that year, he was found guilty of vandalism for smashing his wife's car with a shovel. He was sentenced to three years' probation, one year of domestic violence counseling, and 400 hours of community service or 40 hours on a work crew along with a $1,800 fine. Brown ignored the terms of his sentence and in 2000 was sentenced to six months in jail, which he began serving in 2002 after refusing the court-ordered counseling and community service. He was released after three months.

Is Laura Ingraham Next?

Fox shakes up the tree. A nut may come out.

Contrary to the noise, Laura Ingraham will be on Fox. However, her 10pm spot will be vacated. That means that someone will fill her spot in the coming months.

Nothing is confirmed until Fox actually brings the goods.

A network spokesperson said, “Reports based on various tweets by left wing activists are wildly inaccurate — Laura Ingraham, the top-rated woman in cable news, is now and will continue to be a prominent host and integral part of the Fox News lineup.”

Actually it came from The Drudge Report.

The latest Fox News statement does not address whether she will remain in her 10 p.m. ET time period, but the network statement is a pushback on social media rumors that she is exiting.

The speculation about Ingraham started after the Drudge Report, in its main headline, reported that Fox News was about to overhaul its primetime line up, with "Softball" Hannity leading the 8 p.m. hour and shows hosted by Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld taking the later slots. That left the question of what would happen to Ingraham.

Softball Hannity's program is stale.

Earlier in the day, the network said that “no decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration.” After the network dropped Tucker Carlson’s 8 p.m. show last month, a series of rotating hosts has filled the time slot under the banner Fox News Tonight, with the expectation that a permanent occupant would be named.

Ingraham has hosted The Ingraham Angle since 2017.

Fox News has seen a viewership dip in primetime with the loss of Carlson, but the network’s lineup of Fox News Tonight, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Ingraham have still generally topped rivals in total audience. MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show did beat that annoying agitator on Monday and but Maddow’s show is on just once a week.
