Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Krayzie Bone had a serious medical emergency.
It was reported that Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member (de facto leader) Krayzie Bone is currently in the hospital and is fighting for his life. The junk food media reports that the Cleveland based rapper was having internal bleeding and checked himself into a Los Angeles hospital.
According to the outlet’s report, immediate medical scans showed a leaking artery in one of the rapper’s lungs. Doctors conducted emergency surgery, but the bleeding persisted. On Sunday (Sept. 24), the 50-year-old remained sedated and relied on a breathing machine for respiratory support.
Krayzie’s condition was reportedly complicated by his ongoing battle with sarcoidosis. The inflammatory ailment causes the immune system to overreact, forming clusters of inflamed tissue called granulomas in vital organs. Per the American Lung Society, sarcoidosis often targets the lungs and lymph nodes and can become life-threatening.
Born Anthony Henderson, Krayzie Bone formed the group with Bryon McCane (Bizzy Bone), Steven Hawse (Lazyie Bone), Stanley Hawse (Flesh-n-Bone) and Charles "Chuck" Scruggs (Wish Bone) as B.O.N.E. Enterprise in 1991. They released their independent debut album, Faces of Death. They were discovered by Eazy E in 1993 and signed them to Ruthless Records.
Flesh-n-Bone was imprisoned when the group signed the deal. The members have since reunited as a group of five.
They debuted an EP, Creepin On Ah Come Up which brought them into the mainstream.
Eazy E died before they released the national debut album, 1999 Eternal was released.
Since, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have released 10 albums and are preparing for a final album.
Krayzie Bone as a solo artist has released 9 albums.
Fun fact: Bone performed with the late rappers Tupac Shakur, Eazy E, Notorious B.I.G. and Gangsta Boo. Several members performed with the late rappers Big Pun and Bad Azz.
Washed Up 45 has been divorced three times. He slept with numerous women. He has over 20 accusers saying he sexual harassment or assaulted him. He was found liable in one sexual assault allegation. He said inappropriate comments about his wives, his daughters and women who he wanted to "grab 'em by the...."
He won the Republican primary and the American people selected him for president.
He is also the leading cause of divorce in America. MAGA has problems with holding down relationships.
South Carolina Republican is divorcing his wife. After The Daily Mail (not regarded as a factual source) revealed the U.S. Representative had an affair with a lobbyist and is set to live with her. He had numerous affairs and his wife claims he a hypocrite and warns that there's more of these type of Republicans.
The affairs were going on for years and it was an open secret. He slept with women who were his three sons' best friends. He is also not a racist because in college he had a Black roommate.
Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) is running for reelection and is likely to secure another term.
Melody Duncan, wife of the far right extremist, filed for divorce Friday at the Laurens County Courthouse. In the filing, she accuses the 13-year representative of having multiple extramarital affairs, and leaving their marital home to live with a woman he's having an ongoing sexual relationship with.
Duncan, who on his congressional webpage calls himself "a strong advocate for life and traditional family values," has been married to Melody since Dec. 3, 1988. The two have three adult children together.
"[Duncan] has admitted this adulterous relationship to many other people, including the parties' sons and members of his staff," the complaint said.
Far right Republican had affairs for years. He is wearing the "Let's Go Brandon" mask to insult President Joe Biden.
The complaint said the day after Duncan hosted the regional conservative fundraising "Faith and Freedom BBQ" on Aug. 28, he left to go to Williams' Washington, D.C.-area residence, where Melody "is informed and believes he continues to reside." According to the complaint, he may have had affairs with at least one other woman, and this is "widely known in political circles of South Carolina and Washington D.C."
The complaint said Duncan has presented a narrative of being in a loveless marriage "to justify the hypocrisy of his public statements and his private actions." While the complaint names Williams, it does not name any other women.
According to the U.S. House' lobbying disclosure page, there's a registered lobbying firm called Liz Williams and Co., with seven clients, including Delta Air Lines.
In her complaint, Melody asks the court to award permanent, periodic alimony, possession and exclusive use of their marital residence and their residence in Montana. She also asked the court to make Duncan solely responsible for outstanding debts and obligations, to maintain health insurance for her, be responsible for both their uncovered medical expenses, among other things.
Melody Duncan did not want to comment at the time of writing, and messages left for Duncan and one of his representatives went unanswered. An email and Facebook message to Williams were not immediately answered.
Mind you, I don't care what grown adults do in their bedrooms. However, it is clear that the MAGA folks are seeing divorce at record levels.

It is true: Washed Up 45 has caused Americans to divorce. Because of their adament support of the former president, they are ending up having marital issues.
Pinellas County, Florida deputies have recovered a human body inside a 14-foot alligator and it was a woman who disappeared. Witnesses saw the reptile carry the body across the street.
Florida Wildlife and Game had to kill the alligator and identify the victim as a 41-year oldwoman from the Tampa area. Sabrina Peckham was identified as the victim of this.
JaMarcus Bullard of Largo saw the reptile underneath a bridge with a large object in its mouth. He started filming and then threw a rock at it. Upon viewing, he was shocked to see a torso. He ran to the Largo Fire Department and they called the wildlife agency.
“I could tell there was a body in his mouth, so I started recording,” Bullard said.
Alligators have been spotted in the area before, but resident Jennifer Dean told CNN-affiillate Spectrum News 13 that she had never seen one this large.
“A lot of my neighbors were out here and they’re the ones that told me about the gator,” Dean said. “While we were standing here we heard a shot. I assume they killed the gator.”
Sabrina Peckham didn't stand a chance.
Alligators are known to be found in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi. Alligators sightings are rare but do exist in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?
You can't fix stupid!
You can't change minds!
You are completely trapped in stupid.
You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.
Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated?
I would never touch a wild animal.
Alas, some people think that animals are timid when you're petting them. Nope.
While rare, alligator attacks do happen and many of the victims are close to the water or have pets within a sight of the reptile. If you get too close to the reptile, you are likely a victim of stupidity. On land, an alligator is fast. In the water, an alligator is deadly.
Especially when you live in a community where water is close by... I mean are they clueless or just stupid?
Once the animal gets a hold of a prey, it's rare that an animal will escape without losing a body part.
Graphic aftermath of Florida authorities killing the alligator.
It's the unfortunate cause and effect of animals and people.
I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"
If you want to be a thrill seeker, you might want to get life insurance.
To escape an alligator in the water if possible, punch its eyes or put something in its nose. Don't turn your back on an alligator. If you're on land run backwards in a zig zag position. An alligator does not want to waste its time trying to catch a prey that moves too much. An alligator can travel up to 20 mph on land and is very fast and silent in the water.
When you are near ponds or bodies of water keep pets, elderly adults and small children away.
I will say this as a reminder. Back in the slavery days, white extremists would kidnap Black babies and string them to trees. They leave them crying in the swamps for alligators and bears to attack them. They would use Black babies as bait for alligators and bears.
We must not get complacant. If we allow the junk food media to keep allowing free advertising for Washed Up 45, we will face another chaotic four years.
Washed Up 45 will not attend the next Republican debate and the RNC will not punish him, sanction him or have him removed off the ballot. The far right is touting polls saying he is beating incumbent President Joe Biden by 10 points and the union busting former president is going to make inroads with white union workers.
Most networks will not cover Washed Up 45's speech due to his continuous lies and misinformation.
His prime-time remarks will serve as counterprogramming to the September 27 debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.
The news comes amid the ongoing United Auto Workers strike, which began last week after the union and the nation’s three largest automakers failed to reach a deal to avert it.
“The auto workers are being sold down the river by their leadership, and their leadership should endorse Trump,” the former president told NBC News in an interview last week.
UAW President Shawn Fain pushed back on the news of Washed Up 45’s upcoming speech.
“Every fiber of our union is being poured into fighting the billionaire class and an economy that enriches people like Donald Trump at the expense of workers,” Fain said in an emailed statement. “We can’t keep electing billionaires and millionaires that don’t have any understanding what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to get by and expecting them to solve the problems of the working class.”
The former president’s visit to the swing state of Michigan signals a look ahead to the general election. Amid concerns about his electability beyond the GOP primary, his team is eager to pick off voters anywhere they perceive as potentially vulnerable for Biden.
The Washed Up 45 campaign on Tuesday started running a radio ad in Detroit and Toledo, Ohio, aimed at appealing to auto workers amid the ongoing strike, according to a campaign spokesperson. The ad tries to cast the former president as supportive of auto workers but doesn’t explicitly mention the strike. The ad and will run on sports and rock-themed radio stations in Detroit and Toledo, according to the spokesperson.
Washed Up 45 wants to pick off Democratic voters who are dissatisfied with Biden.
Biden’s reelection campaign, criticizing what it deemed a “self-serving photo op,” said Monday night that Washed Up 45 was going to Michigan to “pretend he didn’t spend his entire failed presidency selling (Michigan workers) out at every turn.”
“Instead of standing with workers, Trump cut taxes for the super-wealthy while auto companies shuttered their doors and shipped American jobs overseas,” said spokesperson Ammar Moussa, who also noted that the former president lost Michigan to Biden in 2020.
Details of Washed Up 45's Detroit trip and the radio ad were first reported by The New York Times.
Usher, the legendary R&B/pop star and media personality will be a part of Apple Music's Halftime Show at Super Bowl LVIII. It will be at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The Las Vagas Raiders currently play there. They moved from Oakland in 2020.
Usher announced he will perform his greatest hits as a part of Apple and Roc Nation's musical event venue.
“It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before,” Usher said in a statement on Sunday, adding, “Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”
The singer has been performing his vast collection of R&B hits during his Las Vegas concert series “Usher – My Way The Residency.” Since breaking onto the music scene in 1994 with his self-titled debut album “Usher,” he has sold over 80 million records worldwide and earned eight Grammys.
His top hits include songs such as “U Got It Bad,” “U Don’t Have to Call” and “Nice & Slow,” among many others.
“Usher is the ultimate artist and showman. Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he’s been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul,” Jay-Z said in a statement Sunday.
His statement continued, “His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can’t wait to see the magic.”
Usher has previously appeared on the Super Bowl halftime stage in 2011 to sing “OMG” with the Black Eyed Peas, but the 2024 show will be his first time headlining.
Rihanna’s 2023 halftime performance became the most-watched halftime show of all time. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar headlined Super Bowl LVI’s halftime show in 2022.
The Super Bowl will air on CBS on February 11, 2024.
Dallas is the 9th largest city in the United States. Dallas has 1.2 million residents.
It is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex which as a population of 5 million residents. It has an African American mayor.
He ran as a Democrat and won overwhelmingly. In 2023, he makes a shocking move which could show a seismic shift in Democratic politics. As I explained in the previous posts, Republicans are trying to court Black men.
Washed Up 45 managed to win over 25% of the Black male vote.
Many Black men are becoming Republicans. And now Eric Johnson, mayor of Dallas, Texas is one of them. He announced he switched parties. He said that he is furious with the immigration and progressive prosecutors.
Gov. Greg Abbott said he is happy to have him in the Texas Republican Party.
“Texas is getting more Red every day,” Abbott posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Johnson is in his second and final term as mayor, which runs through 2027. As a state lawmaker, Johnson made headlines over his successful efforts to remove a plaque in the Texas Capitol that rejected slavery as an underlying cause of the Civil War. His push at the time occasionally put Johnson and Abbott in conflict over discussions to remove the marker.
Dallas.
Texas Democratic Party expressed a lack of surprise in the switch.
“But the voters of Dallas deserved to know where he stood before he ran for reelection as Mayor,” the party said in a statement. “He wasn’t honest with his constituents, and knew he would lose to a Democrat if he flipped before the election.”
During his mayoral run, Johnson has embraced policies denounced by Democrats elsewhere in Texas, including using state troopers to police cities.
The mayor of neighboring Fort Worth, Mattie Parker, is also a Republican, giving Texas two of the nation’s largest cities with GOP leaders. She is the mayor of the 13th largest city in country. Fort Worth has 1.05 million residents.
Austin, Jacksonville, Columbus and Charlotte have 1 million residents already.
Vice President Kamala Harris talks to Quavo and his family. The rapper is working with the White House to prevent gun violence. His nephew, rapper Takeoff was killed in 2022.
While the far right is attacking the first Black woman to be Vice President of the United States, Kamala Devi Harris is brushing off the noise, she is working behind the scenes to help Joseph R. Biden, Jr. succeed as the 46th President of the United States.
They test their nerves everyday.
The FBA, the Moors and Black separatists are backing Washed Up 45.
Kodak Black, Ice Cube, Ye, Teddy Riley, Ray J, Forgiato Blow, Lil Wayne, Lil Pump, Takeshi 6ix9ine, Fivio Foreign, Travis Scott and Nicki Minaj are riding with Washed Up 45. They are getting praise from white nationalists like Tomi Lahren.
Lahren, Candace Owens, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. John James (R-MI) are fans of hip-hop music. They are far right extremists but lovers of hip-hop.
The far right and Republican exploited the gun violence epidemic. They zeroed in on Black on whatever crime and illegal immigration as factors to gun violence. They have no solutions to solving gun violence.
Biden now wants to do something and it is expected that many on the far right will find outrage with it.
The White House announced the formation of an Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
President Joe Biden chairs Vice President Kamala Harris as the leader of this initiative.
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) is also a part of this initiative. But guess who is also a part of this movement to stop gun violence in the country?
Quavo, the hip-hop artist who was once part of the trio The Migos. The group is permanently inactive after a fallout between Offset and the death of Takeoff
The Migos were an Atlanta based group that featured Quavo, his nephew Takeoff and cousin Offset. As solo artists and as a group they are signed to Quality Control Music, YRN Music, Capitol Records and Motown Records.
Takeoff was killed in Houston, Texas in 2022 after a man shot at him and others while playing a dice game. The feds are still investigating the incident and have James Prince, Jr. under federal watch.
Quavo and Takeoff release their only album a month before the shooting.
Police say Takeoff was an innocent bystander who was shot outside a Houston bowling alley after a disagreement over a lucrative dice game led to gunfire. Takeoff’s death was the latest in a string of fatal shootings in recent years that involved hip-hop stars such as Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, PnB Rock and Young Dolph.
“You don’t think nothing is going to happen,” Quavo continued. “I need to step up to the plate and hit a homerun. I have to do something about it, so it won’t happen to the masses — especially in our culture. I don’t want this to happen to the next person. I want to knock down these percentages.”
Quavo joined a panel discussion Wednesday alongside Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, the current reverend of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) — whose activism was propelled after the shooting death of her teenage son Jordan Davis — and Greg Jackson of the Community Justice Action Fund. It was a solutions-oriented conversation on community intervention strategies, the battle with gun violence and the power in advocacy.
Earlier, Quavo arrived at the conference hand-in-hand with his sister Titania Davenport, the mother of Takeoff.
After Quavo met with Harris, the vice president praised the rapper and Davenport’s “call for action” to prevent gun violence.
“We need to do better with the control of guns,” Quavo said. “We need to figure out how do we keep these types of incidents from happening to people going anywhere and thinking they can hurt somebody where it shouldn’t happen.”
After Takeoff’s shooting, Quavo often asked himself “How do we use (guns) safely?”
“And how do you keep them out of the hands of people that make bad decisions?” he said. “I’m kind of in a half-and-half place. Even police have guns. Unfortunately, some of the people in our culture and loved ones have been lost to police brutality. It’s all about choices and how we can put a filter on who can use these guns.”
Jackson said Quavo’s voice could make a difference. He applauded the rapper for sitting down with members of Congress, offering his firsthand insights and putting the pressure on them for impactful change.
“His voice and commitment around community violence intervention could provide more resources for those who are most at risk,” said Jackson, whose Community Justice organization hosted Quavo for a day of advocacy. They are both pushing for passing of the Break the Cycle of Violence Act, which would provide a $6.5 billion federal grant to communities to curb gun violence, create prevention programs, job training and workforce development for youths.
Jackson, who was shot in 2013, said combating gun violence has become personal for him.
“It’s what we need,” Jackson said. “With gun violence, in order to change it, we have to change the behavior just as aggressively as we focus on safety and ownership and access. But we can’t change behavior if our communities don’t have the resources they need, and our youth is being overlooked and forgotten.”
So far, Quavo has taken the right steps forward: Last year, the rapper and his family launched the Rocket Foundation in honor of Takeoff and he committed $2 million to invest in community violence intervention. He aspires to develop more after school programs in areas where community centers have been shut down and basketball goal rims were taken down.
Quavo says it’s imperative to keep the youth busy with productive activities in a safe environment. He’s already reached out to some in the hip-hop community for support including rapper Meek Mill, who’s been active with criminal justice reform.
But Quavo says he knows he needs more political backing to streamline much-needed resources to the less fortunate.
“I feel like after going to the White House, I need resources,” he said. “I need a bag of goodies, so I can take back and say ‘Here, this is for the culture.’ We have that extension cord. We are plugged into that type of environment. I don’t think no one else in our stature is that connected. In order for things to change, we need resources.”
Black UAW members serve a white racist a hot plate after he hurled racist threats at them.
While at a Stelliatis Plant in Metro Detroit, a white couple with their children hurled racial insults and threats of violence against striking United Auto Workers.
Members served this couple a hot plate.
Last week, the UAW members authorized a strike. This strike could cripple the U.S. manufacturing of American cars and the economy.
President Joe Biden has so many headaches going on in the country and world.
Russia is trying to regain its footing after its offensive against Ukraine went bust. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is urging American lawmakers to continue backing them. Republicans in the House of Representatives have failed to reach a deal with the White House. Now we may be heading towards a government shutdown.
There is a writer's and actor's strike. The Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists are striking simultaneously.
It has a major impact on U.S. television programs. Filming in Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, New York and other venues where films and programs are produced are halted.
All these strikes have an impact on the economy and our elections.
Biden has a 70% chance of winning reelection if the candidate is Washed Up 45.
Biden is planning on meeting with union members in Detroit and the president of UAW.
Washed Up 45 is trying to court white voters and Black men. Seeing how he done well with the white vote and managed to win over 25% of the Black male vote, Washed Up 45 is now looking to make inroads with union members, a once powerful block loyal to the Democrats.
It is crazy that a union busting former president can make in roads with certain members.
The racist whites are backing Washed Up 45 in large numbers. This probably why one of them thought it would be funny to heckle striking auto workers.
UAW members picketing outside the Stellantis Center Line facility early Friday evening were greeted by a man driving by allegedly hurled racial slurs and insults at striking members. The footage caught by Fox Detroit.
The incident - caught on video as SkyFOX helicopter cameras were rolling - unfolded with the man stopping his SUV and getting into a verbal confrontation with a group of UAW members.
Video shows it quickly escalated with shoving and the man grabbing a striker's sign, wielding it as a weapon swinging at UAW members.
After backing up against a fence, punches were exchanged as a group of members traded blows with the man. At one point the man stumbled onto the ground where he absorbed additional punishment.
The altercation appeared to simmer and the man returned to his vehicle when his wife got out, and can be seen throwing a piece of trash at the UAW members.
At this point pushing and shoving took place with one UAW member swatting her head with his sign.
Inside the man's SUV were his children, who also took part in yelling at the workers and throwing things at them, the UAW official said.
The man motioned like he had a weapon, leading to UAW members intervening to see if he had a (weapon) on him, he claimed.
New Jersey Democratic senator Bob Menendez and wife Nadine served in bribery case.
Years of slipping through the FBI finally caught up with New Jersey senator Bob Menendez. The Democratic senator was under the feds radar for years.
Finally, he is getting served for his criminal behavior.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York announced the indictment of Menendez on charges of bribery “in connection with three New Jersey businessmen.” His wife, Nadine Menendez, is also going to be indicted on the same charges.
The New York Times reports that the federal corruption charge alleges that Menendez entered into a scheme with his wife and three others. Also indicted are New Jersey real estate developer Fred Daibes; Wael Hana, founder of a New Jersey halal meat inspection business and a friend of Mrs. Menendez; and New Jersey businessman Jose Uribe.
Menendez has been under federal investigation for his ties to Daibes, who gifted Menendez and his wife with $400,000 worth of gold bars, allegedly in exchange for help with federal bank fraud charges. That “help” allegedly included Menendez reaching out to the U.S. Justice Department in connection to the case. The senator disclosed the gift in 2020, but only after the federal investigation began.
Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the SDNY, and James Smith, assistant director for the FBI field office in New York, will hold a press conference at 11:00 a.m. ET to provide more information about the indictments.
Expect Democrats to call for his resignation. Watch Republicans lick their chops.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Assemblywoman Beth Sawyer and Chris Christie are the only viable Republicans to take on Menendez.
If he does resign, Gov. Phil Murphy can appoint Lt. Gov. Tashesa Way to fill the term and ask her to run for a full term. It would make her the first Black woman senator serving with the Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), the state's first Black U.S. senator.
Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants had escaped scandals in the past. He was indicted on bribery in 2015 when he tried to help a Miami businessman sneak his mistresses into the U.S. and got a good kickback. There was a mistrial and the charges were eventually dropped soon after. He was accused of messing with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. That story did not stand but was lodged against him for years.
The alleged bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle and "other things of value."
Menendez' office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Prosecutors say that Menendez, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, provided sensitive U.S. government information to Hana, an Egyptian-American businessman, that "secretly aided the Government of Egypt." The indictment states that Menendez improperly pressured an official at the Department of Agriculture to protect a business monopoly granted to Hana by the Egyptian government. Hana then allegedly kicked back profits from his monopoly to Menendez.
The senator is also accused of using his office to disrupt New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin's investigation into Uribe and his associates. The indictment further alleges that Menendez influenced President Biden to nominate a U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey who Menendez believed could be swayed against prosecuting his associate Daibes.
Menendez has supported the nomination of U.S. Attorney Phillip Sellinger. Sellinger had previously acted as a fundraiser for Menendez's campaign. However, Sellinger had recused himself from the Daibes prosecution, a U.S. Attorney's Office spokesperson told NBC News 4.
Menendez disclosed that his family had accepted gold bars in 2020. Daibes encountered bank fraud charges that could have netted him up to a decade in prison for lying about a nearly $2 million loan from Mariner's Bank, where Daibes served as chairman.
Last year, however, New Jersey's U.S. Attorney's Office agreed to let Daibes plead guilty to one count and serve probation. They said Daibes had repaid the loan.
In April, Menendez established a legal defense fund to help pay for tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees relating to the federal criminal probe.
President Joe Biden likely phoned House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) after the House of Representatives once again failed to pass a short term budget let alone a yearly budget to keep the U.S. government open.
Republicans failed once again at governing. Five Republicans blocked the passage of a continuing resolution budget bill which would fund the government until late October.
McCarthy left the Republican conference fuming. On top of that, bad optics.
Biden and Democrats troll the Republicans. The House adjourned for the weekend without even passing one bill. It has led to a backlash and it even has Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) angry over the dysfunction with House Republicans.
House Republicans once again are fighting over spending cuts which is totally opposite of what the White House and Senate agreed on. They have at least 12 Republican senators backing it and the deal is approved by Biden. Yet, McCarthy comes with the kakamani budget that cuts disaster relief, food programs, the U.S. Justice Department and Ukraine funding.
None of this will make it to Biden's desk.
Biden had a budget released in May. It took four months and a lot of noise from McCarthy to be at this gridlock. He is at the point of working with Democrats to get a continuing resolution budget through.
Millions of federal employees and active military service members will stop receiving paychecks — but many will be forced to report to work anyway.
Some national parks may close, museums could shutter and airports nationwide might see new disruptions and delays.
And the most pivotal federal aid programs — including those assisting the victims of the deadly wildfires in Maui — could struggle to provide urgently needed support.
The Freedumb Caucasians and Washed Up 45 are supporting a government shutdown.
About 1 million people will be furloughed and those who have to work will not get a paycheck. That comes at a crucial time when rent or bills need to be paid, food has to be on the plate and of course vacations are taken.
Republicans done this during Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Washed Up 45's terms.
They were elected to federal government but hate it. So instead of resigning and finding a new grift, the Republicans rather grandstand and use American workers as pawns.
If Congress fails to resolve the impasse by Sept. 30, federal appropriations will expire, bringing many agencies to a halt and forcing the sprawling U.S. government to operate at a mere shell of itself. Anticipating the worst, the Biden administration has started to revise and publish a set of intricate blueprints for how agencies should proceed if funds run dry.
Shareholders want the Murdochs out. Rupert "retires" and Lachlan takes over for now.
As I predicted, the shareholders forced K. Rupert Murdoch to retire from News Corp. The controversial media barron made shareholders shelve out over $1 billion to victims of their relentless smear campaigns and false peddling of information.
Murdoch reportedly is retiring at the age of 92.
Fox said Thursday that Murdoch would become chairman emeritus of both companies, effective at board meetings in November. His son, Lachlan, will become News Corp. chairman and continue as chief executive officer of Fox Corp.
Lachlan Murdoch said that “we are grateful that he will serve as chairman emeritus and know he will continue to provide valued counsel to both companies.”
Shareholders want to oust Lachlan as well.
Besides Fox News, Murdoch started the Fox broadcast network, the first to successfully challenge the Big Three of ABC, CBS and NBC, with shows like “The Simpsons.” He is owner of The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post.
Fox News Channel has profoundly influenced television and the nation’s politics since its start in 1996, making Murdoch a hero to some and pariah to others. The 24-hour network converted the power and energy of political talk radio to television. Within six years, it outrated CNN and MSNBC.
But it has been a rough year for Fox, which was forced to pay $787 million to settle a defamation lawsuit related to its coverage of false claims following the 2020 presidential election. Shortly after, Fox fired its most popular personality, Tucker Carlson.
Murdoch vowed in a letter to employees that he would remain engaged at Fox.
“In my new role, I can guarantee you that I will be involved every day in the contest of ideas, Murdoch wrote. “Our companies are communities, and I will be an active member of our community. I will be watching our broadcasts with a critical eye, reading our newspapers and websites and books with much interest.”
There was no immediate word on why Murdoch’s announcement came now. Ironically, it is the week author and Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff is publishing a book, “The End of Fox News,” speculating on what will happen to the network when the patriarch is gone.
Murdoch and his family, particularly children James, Lachlan, Elisabeth and Prudence, were said to be the model of the HBO show “ Succession.”
He built his empire from a single newspaper in Adelaide, Australia, inherited from his father and became a multi-billionaire. Forbes estimated the Murdoch family’s net worth at roughly $19 billion in 2020.
While Murdoch never ran for political office, politicians in the United States and Britain anxiously sought his approval.
Fox board members are suing Fox CEO Rupert Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch. They want them out and they will force them out.
Murdoch reportedly is "retiring."
I respect and got love for the disabled community. I don't use the word. Just like I got love for the LGBTQ community, I don't use the word.
However, in the case of what I am discussing, I bet the longest serving Fox host is none too happy about his boss calling him "retarded."
I rather call him "Softball" Hannity since he literally begged former Nebraska Republican senator Ben Sasse to be on his radio show to debate his criticism of Washed Up 45. He said he will give him easy questions and let him get the floor. In reality, the annoying agitator will talk over him, call him a liberal, question his loyalty to America and grandstand.
I stuck to the title of Softball Hannity.
In an upcoming book by Michael Wolff, it was reported that Rupert Murdoch is none too happy about the softball's stale show.
Softball Hannity cost $787.5 million. The annoying agitator, Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, Jeannie Piro, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson lied about Dominion Systems. The company settled with Fox and now its shareholders are trying oust Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan.
Michael Wolff’s upcoming new book about the Fox News universe.
Michael Wolff reveals the corporate board is trying to oust Murdoch.
The Fall: The End of Fox News and the Murdoch Dynasty, due out Sept. 26 via Henry Holt & Co., purports to give readers a behind-the-curtains look into Fox’s handling of the Dominion defamation lawsuit over its 2020 election lies, its post-election clashes with former President Donald Trump, its shocking firing of Carlson, and the Murdoch family’s Succession-like turmoil.
In Wolff’s telling, both Fox News and the Murdoch empire are in a slow-motion decline.
“The fact that the last book by this author was spoofed in a Saturday Night Live skit is really all we need to know,” a Fox News spokesperson wrote The Daily Beast in a statement. Reps for the Murdoch family declined to comment, but a person familiar with the matter claimed to The Daily Beast that Wolff did not approach Fox News or Fox Corp for fact-checking. “Every principal character in the book including [Murdoch] was contacted for comment,” Wolff responded in a statement.
Wolff, who peppered his recent Trump-centric bestsellers with juicy (and sometimes refuted) gossip that caused shockwaves in the political media world, continues that trend in The Fall. For example, throughout the book a recurring motif is that Fox News star and Trump confidant Sean Hannity is viewed within Murdoch circles as a “moron.”
Murdoch wanted to get rid of him.
At one point, Wolff alleges, Rupert Murdoch took to calling his star primetime host the dreaded r-word slur.
“When Murdoch was brought reports of Hannity’s on- and off-air defense of Fox’s postelection coverage, he perhaps seemed to justify his anchor: ‘He’s retarded, like most Americans,’” Wolff writes in one chapter that notes how Hannity had pushed Fox to stick by Trump.
Wolff further writes that before Murdoch fired Carlson, as Fox faced down Dominion’s defamation lawsuit, the mogul considered axing Hannity as a way of giving the voting-systems firm “a head” in exchange for a settlement. As a way to justify the hypothetical firing, Wolff adds, Lachlan Murdoch proposed citing the host’s previously secret romantic relationship with Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt, using ex-CNN CEO Jeff Zucker’s firing as precedent.
Sean "Softball" Hannity's longevity is known. He has been on Fox since 1996 and radio since 1994. He has aged but the antics and his formula has not. It is repetitive, predictable, literally boring.
The far-right agitator is the official softball for the former president. He practically calls the former president everyday. He literally gets his talking points from the former president.
Since Washed Up 45 left the White House, conservatives have undermined Biden presidency.
It appears that the softball is leading the way in undermining Biden.
Since Biden took office, Hannity has been relentless on name calling, giving fake analysis of the president's mental fitness and pushing baseless allegations about his son.
Out of his nearly 20 million listeners of his carnival and 3 million viewers of his primetime shitshow, how many of them change the dial when he starts reminding us about Joe Biden's age and health, Jeremiah Wright's "chickens coming home to roast", Bill Ayers "the unrepentant domestic terrorist" , Hillary Clinton's "emails, health, quid pro and Benghazi", Hunter Biden's "laptop and his 'zero' experience", the Steele dossier, Barack Obama "crimes and birth certificate", Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters, Madonna, Alec Baldwin, equal justice under the law, hookers urinating on the bed, Jimmy Kimmel, Humpty Dumpty (Brian Stelter) and the media?
You can literally predict how his show is going from start to finish. You can make a bingo card of everything he has said on his show.
He invites the same tired ass hasbeens on his radio and television shitshows. They are literally banned from every other outlet because they're too dumb or too extreme.
Aren't you tired of the annoying Sean "Softball" Hannity?
