What Is Wrong With Her?

Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion feud.

Preparing the losers of 2024.

Nicki Minaj teases the Hip-Hop world with her diss at Megan Thee Stallion. After the single Hiss went viral, Nicki teased the bars and called Megan, Bigfoot.

Reasons to why I believe Nicki Minaj is a loser.

1. Jealous. Megan got a Grammy before her.

2. Hints of being a Trump supporter.

3. Picks fights with Lil Kim, Mariah Carey, Cardi B, Joy Reid, Remy Ma, Latto and Megan Thee Stallion.

4. Anti-Vaxxer and conspiracy theorist.

5. Married to a sexual offender.

6. Without Drake, Lil Wayne and Birdman writing her lyrics, she would not survive a rap battle.

When the diss was released, it didn't live up to the expectations.

Listen and here's the lyrics.

[Intro]

Your flow is such a bore

Drinkin' a bottle of Henny through a straw

Bitch, you better stop that dialogue (28 shit)

'Fore I hit Carl and buy your catalogue

(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) Sigh

How you fuck your mother man when she die?

How you go on Gayle King and can't cry?

Chile, b-b-b-b-bye

Big foot, but you still a small fry

Swearin' on your dead mother when you lie (Ay, yo)

[Verse]

This lil' beggin' whore talkin' 'bout Megan's law

For a free beat, you could hit Megan raw (Ooh)

If you a ghost writer, Pardi in Megan jaw (Ooh-ooh)

Shots thrown, but I still ain't let Megan score (Tell 'em)

Bad bitch, she like six foot (Ooh), I call her Big Foot (Brr-brr)

The bitch fell off, I said, "Get up on your good foot" (Ah, ah)

Uh, still ain't topped "Red Ruby" (No, no-no; mm-mm)

Tryna steal the sauce, I said, "Get up out my cook book" (Brr)

But really, I'm a sweetie pie

P-R-T-T-Y, but I'm P-E-T-T-Y (Brr)

Um, why did you lie about your lypo?

Fuckin' your best friend man is crazy, you the type, though

You was lyin' to the Queen, then you went lyin' to the King, Gayle

That thirty-year-old tea, so stale

Kylie kicked you out and made you stumble to the car

Barbz, I need a good alcohol bar

Roman, wait, that was the bar

Like a body builder, I keep raisin' the bar

Fuck you get shot with no scar? (Brr)

This little piggy toxic, someone adopt it (Ah-ha)

Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Shit'll get dark like chocolate

I'm 'bout to get up in your ass, bitch, clench (Woo)

Mm, yeah, sorta like French

They got you all them Grammy's, but your flow's still a no

What a Fiasco, Lupe

Future made you pay (Haha)

She wanna Pardi with DaBaby while rubbin' on Tory toupe

I guess she needed Moneybaggs for them Trey Songz

She G-Eazy, Carl made her crawl for it

Yo, why the fuck they poke the Monsta?

Fuckin' with Nicki, this year, ho, I'm comin' like a porn star

She just mad that no nigga ever loved her

No nigga gon' stand ten toes behind her

Is it my fault I got good vagin-er?

Why the fuck is you humpin' on a minor?

'Cause she was lyin' on your dead mama (Ooh), on-on your dead mama (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

[Outro]

Now listen up, Big Foot

You know I got a lotta tea

I went easy on you

Umm (Glass fragment foot ass, bitch)

You know, whenever I meet a woman that would fuck her friend's man

(And let your friend talk about your ex-friend baby on the internet)

I know that (No, no) they have a very evil spirit

Um (Where my prayer warriors at?)

I don't think you want the next installment of this song

I know it's the most attention you've ever gotten

One-flow hoe, but, uh, trust

If you don't apologize to your mama in twenty-four hours

Shit gon' get uglier than KenBarbie, okay? Don't play

Um, and also, I'd like to say

To my supporters, I love you, may God bless you, you're amazing

Um, all the good-pussy gyal dem too, yes

But, I'm very serious

Ho, the things that you've lied about

Even pertaining to your mom

You don't want them out, okay?

Now, since you think it's funny to speak about people's families

We'll all join in

We'll all play the reindeer games

Soon as your new nose heals

And soon as your—

Well, let's leave that for the second installment, rrr

I am going to give a brief summary of this feud. 

The feud will not end.

Megan Thee Stallion releases Hiss, a brutal diss going at several rappers.

Publications reported that the lyrics address different disses towards Drake, Tory Lanez and Nicki Minaj, as well as Thee Stallion's ex Pardison Fontaine.

In the song, Megan Thee Stallion raps the line that people "don't be mad at Megan", but that they're "mad at Megan's Law". Megan's Law is the name of a federal law that requires registered sex offenders to provide their personal information to local law enforcement agencies and appear on a registry available to the public. The bars were taken as a diss towards fellow rapper Nicki Minaj by critics, fans, and Minaj herself, due to the fact that she is married to Kenneth Petty, who is a registered sex offender.

Nicki teased a diss track against fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion called "Big Foot" on Instagram live in response to the latter’s "Hiss" single, which was followed by a series of tweets concerning the feud by Minaj within the course of hours. A few hours prior to her release of "Big Foot," Minaj disclosed that her team was waiting for producer Lil Juju "to clear that beat that I’ve had for 6 years." Minaj then suggested that Megan tried to prevent the diss track from coming out despite the fact she hasn't "even heard the song." Minaj tweeted, "It's been [ready] for 2 days. Just was tryna be cool & let her get lil streams. Wasn't gon say anything. But remember how everyone kept my name in their mouth and how I said the next person mention my family gon regret it. Btw, they haven't even heard the song. Who said it's even a 'diss?'"

"Big Foot" was officially released on January 28, 2024, at 12am after having had a push back to six hours later than initially planned. The track received mixed reviews and was accompanied by an acapella version, so that, in Minaj’s words: "other producers all around the world can make their own beat." In the song, she has given Megan Thee Stallion 24 hours to issue an apology to her or else a second installment of "Big Foot" will be released.

Biden Warns Netanyahu That American Aid Is Coming To An End If He Doesn't Stop!

Boxed in a corner.

All talk.

For those who said Donald J. Trump never starts wars, you might want to revisit his role in the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and his call to derail the border bill Congress is working on. He is calling for white nationalists to go to Eagle Pass, Texas to confront U.S. Border Patrol agents. He also called for armed resistance if he is convicted of crimes.

Since Oct. 18, 2023, President Joe Biden sealed his fate with young voters, Muslims and Arab Americans. Since he said that the Israeli airstrike on Gaza's al Shifa's hospital was "the other team", Arab Americans vow they'll never support him again. The resistance to Israeli occupation was not the attack on Oct. 7, 2023. The conflict in Jenin was in July 2023. In Feb. 2023, Benjamin Netanyahu pushed Israeli plan to completely wipe Palestinians out of the Middle East. At the United Nations, Netanyahu showed a map of Israel without Gaza or the West Bank. Israel continues to build settlements. AIPAC has financed millions in an attempt to oust Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). The lobbying group has invested in backing the Republicans who refused to certify Biden as the president.

When President Joe Biden's 2024 campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez went to Michigan to meet with several Arab American leaders, they declined the invite.

They said to her that they're done with him. They will not support his bid for 2024.

Now Biden is warning Netanyahu that his patience is wearing thin and the president is mulling suspension of military aid and financial aid to Israel. Netanyahu brushed him off and has secretly talked to Trump.

Israel struck a UNRWA building killing hundreds. The International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must ensure civilians are not killed mercilessly. Israel ignores it. Israel puts out a propaganda piece claiming that UN workers praised the Oct. 7th attack and now the U.S., Australia, Great Britain, Japan, the European Union and Canada pulled funding to the UNRWA.

Biden's old school policy is not winning over voters. So now he is getting desperate.

The Biden administration is discussing using weaponry sales to Israel as leverage to convince the government of Netanyahu to heed long-standing U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in the Gaza Strip, according to three current U.S. officials and one former U.S. official.

At the direction of the White House, the Pentagon has been reviewing what weaponry Israel has requested that could be used as leverage, said the sources. They said no decisions have been made.

The sources said Israeli officials continue to ask the administration for more weapons, including large aerial bombs, ammunition and air defenses.

Netanyahu refuses to end the war.

After weeks of private administration requests produced fewer results than the White House wants, the sources said, the U.S. is considering slowing or pausing the deliveries in the hope that doing so will prod the Israelis to take action, such as opening humanitarian corridors to provide more aid to Palestinian civilians.

Among the weaponry the U.S. has discussed using as leverage are 155 mm artillery rounds and joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs), which are guidance kits that convert dumb bombs into precision-guided munitions, the officials said. The officials said the administration is likely to continue to provide other conversion kits that make Israeli munitions more precise.

Officials said they are not likely to slow the delivery of air defenses, though the idea was considered, as well as other systems that can defend Israeli civilians and infrastructure from attack. The administration is focused on offensive military equipment in its review of what it could possibly withhold or delay.

Administration officials have also discussed offering the Israeli government more of the weaponry it has requested as an incentive to take some steps that the U.S. has requested, officials said.

The effort comes after weeks of Biden and his national security team failing to convince Netanyahu and other Israeli officials to dramatically change tactics in Gaza and to take more steps to minimize civilian casualties, officials said. It marks a potential shift in Biden’s approach by going beyond rhetorical pressure, largely behind the scenes, and to making tangible policy changes aimed at getting Israel to act.

Houthis vow revenge after American airstrikes killed several.

Some Democrats in Congress have been urging the administration to do more to pressure Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.

A spokesperson for the National Security Council defended the administration’s stance toward the conflict so far. “As the president has made clear, he believes that the approach he has pursued has been more effective,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Israel has a right and obligation to defend themselves against the threat of Hamas, while abiding by international humanitarian law and protecting civilian lives, and we remain committed to support Israel in its fight against Hamas.”

After the publication of this story, the spokesperson added, “We have done so since Oct 7, and will continue to. There has not been a change in our policy.”

The sources said senior Biden administration officials continue to be frustrated that Israel has often disregarded their calls for taking more care to minimize harm to Palestinian civilians, citing the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Khan Younis as the most recent example. That frustration recently escalated inside the Pentagon as well, while Biden and other White House officials have long been privately exasperated with Netanyahu’s handling of the war.

Biden has said for weeks that he’s been doing all he can to get Israel to change its military tactics.

“I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza,” Biden said on Jan. 8 when confronted by protesters calling for a cease-fire. “I’ve been using all that I can to do that.”

White House officials argue that Biden has had some success, though they concede that Israeli government officials still have not gone as far as the president has wanted.

American Muslims and Arab Americans sour on Democrats.

A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly, expressed frustration with Israeli officials. “There’s a lot more that needs to be done and they need to be more careful about,” the official said.

Three U.S. troops were killed and 25 were injured following a drone attack on a base in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border, according to United States Central Command.

These are the first U.S. fatalities in months of strikes by Iranian-backed militant groups since the Israel-Hamas war started on Oct. 7. The troops have not been identified pending notification of next of kin.

In a statement, Biden said the troops were killed by “radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq,” adding that “we are still gathering the facts of this attack.”

So this latest round of issues has not changed the minds. The Arab Americans who voted for Biden see the hardline stance to Israel as betrayal. He refuses to acknowledge the 30,000 lives lost. He continues to waffle statements. He refuses to acknowledges Israeli forces killed 20 Americans. Even Democrats like former House Speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claim the Russians are behind the pro Palestinian protests.

Michigan was crucial to helping Biden win the presidency. He can only lose two states.

The electoral college declares if the nominee earns 270 electoral votes, the nominee will be the president-elect. The popular vote only determines how many Americans voted.

Even if a candidate had more votes than the other, the nominee must have 270 to be elected the President of the United States. If Biden does win, his second term begins. Biden will technically finish his first term through the lame duck session, but since he won, by default his second term begins. Biden will be barred from serving a third term.

If former president Donald J. Trump or Nikki Haley win the nomination and earn the 270 electoral votes, one will start as the 47th President of the United States. Trump will be barred from serving another term. Haley will be eligible for a second term.

On Dec. 14, the electoral votes are declared. On Jan. 6, 2025, Congress holds a special session to certify the President-elect and Vice President-elect. Mind you, this time, security will be heighten once this begins since the 2021 incident. Trump was impeached for it but never was convicted. He is facing federal indictments because of it.

Technically on Jan. 20, 2025, Congress gathers at 12pm to begin a new presidential term.

Charles Osgood Passed Away!

On Wednesday, CBS News announced the passing of former CBS Sunday Morning host Charles Osgood.

Osgood, who anchored "CBS Sunday Morning" for 22 years and was host of the long-running radio program "The Osgood File," died Tuesday at home in New Jersey.  He was 91. 

The cause of death was dementia, his family said.

Osgood, a gifted news writer, poet and author, spent 45 years at CBS News before retiring in September 2016. Osgood began anchoring "CBS Sunday Morning" in 1994. During his run on the show it reached its highest ratings levels in three decades, and three times earned the Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Morning Program.

"For years now people — even friends and family — have been asking me why I keep doing this considering my age," Osgood said when he retired in 2016 at 84. "It's just that it's been such a joy doing it! Who wouldn't want to be the one who gets to introduce these terrific storytellers and the producers and writers and others who put this wonderful show together."

Osgood said then it has "been a great run."

He interviewed such luminaries as chef Julia Child, graffiti artist-turned-gallery star Keith Haring, painter Andrew Wyeth, sculptor Louise Nevelson, and singer-songwriter Sting.

Osgood's love of poetry and music were also on display in "Sunday Morning," whether it was his playful prose, or playing Christmas carols on the piano during the show's holiday broadcasts.  

Often referred to as CBS News' poet-in-residence, Osgood was called "one of the last great broadcast writers" by Charles Kuralt, whom Osgood succeeded as host of the Sunday morning magazine program in 1994. But he did more than carry on a great American oral tradition; he could also play piano, organ, banjo, violin, and was an accomplished composer and lyricist who could also sing along. He employed his many talents inside and outside CBS, sometimes performing with professional orchestras such as The New York Pops, The Boston Pops and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. 

"To say there's no one like Charles Osgood is an understatement," said "Sunday Morning" executive producer Rand Morrison. "He embodied the heart and soul of 'Sunday Morning.' His signature bow tie, his poetry … just his presence was special for the audience, and for those of us who worked with him. At the piano, Charlie put our lives to music. Truly, he was one of a kind – in every sense." 

Veteran broadcaster Jane Pauley, who succeeded Osgood as host of "Sunday Morning" in 2016, said, "Watching him at work was a masterclass in communicating. I'll still think to myself, 'How would Charlie say it?', trying to capture the elusive warmth and intelligence of his voice and delivery. I expect I'll go on trying. He was one of the best broadcast stylists and one of the last. His style was so natural and unaffected it communicated his authenticity. He connected with people. Watching him  on TV, or listening on the radio, as I did for years, was to feel like you knew him, and he knew you. He brought a unique sensibility, curiosity and his trademark whimsy to 'Sunday Morning,' and it endures."

The Right And The Border!

Publicity stunt. The Texas National Guard standing at the Rio Grande River.

President Joe Biden is underwater in polls. His hardline stance on Israel and his handling of many issues have soured on voters. Democrats are trying to shape the focus on Donald J. Trump, Republicans and their extremist rhetoric.

Every election year where it involves the federal offices, Republicans whip up fear about crime, migrants, drug cartels, shoplifting, homeless encampments, Black teens, Muslims, China and socialism.

The former president vows political revenge and the Republicans are planning Project 2025 which ensures a permanent majority. Republicans who are not favorable politically are plotting for a change to the U.S. Constitution.

If Republicans control 35 states, they can call for a Constitutional Convention to draft amendments that could strip away already settled issues.

Trump has already called for an immediate removal of immigrants who are in the country past their legality. He wants to end birthright citizenship and repeal the Affordable Care Act. He also wants to have Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Hunter Biden, former president Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, E. Jean Caroll, Fani Willis, Rosie O'Donnell, Kathy Griffin, Chrissy Teigen, MSNBC hosts and Liz Cheney locked up.

Texas is the only state where the U.S.-Mexican border is mostly the Rio Grande River. 

Portions of the border enter both sovereignities.

There are Native Americans reservations in Texas. They sit on the U.S.-Mexican border.

Texas has rugged terrain and desert. A monsoon can really affect the land and disrupt the border. If they build a border wall or disrupt nature, it could put the region at risk of devastating damage.

Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Arizona are expected to pick up a congressional district come the 2030 U.S. Census. Republicans will continue to push partisan gerrymandering despite the Supreme Court advocating for fair redistricting.

California, Arizona and New Mexico have Democratic governors. The states have Democratic senators. One senator is an independent who caucuses with the Democrats. 

Democrats have concerns but not the hair on fire rhetoric Republicans been spewing.

Republican governors from Utah, Idaho, Iowa, New Hampshire, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, South Dakota, North Dakota, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Nevada, Virginia, Tennessee, Montana, Mississippi, Wyoming, Alabama, Nebraska and Alaska back Texas governor Greg Abbott's defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court and President Joe Biden. 

“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border,” read the statement, signed by almost every Republican governor.

This show of support comes as Texas has mobilized considerable resources at the U.S.-Mexico border, such as the Texas National Guard and state troopers, in an approach that has often clashed with the operations of the federal Border Patrol.

This ongoing standoff between Texas and the federal government has unfolded through a series of legal and political challenges. The state is currently embroiled in court battles over its use of razor wire and floating buoys at the border, and the controversy has fueled conflict surrounding immigration legislation in Congress.

The border is not an issue. The issue Texas should be worried about is gun violence.

Abbott continues to place razor wire, shipping containers and obstructions on the Texas land and shore line. He also continues to use the Texas National Guard to block access. Texas authorities and U.S. Border Patrol Agents continue to destroy water and food stations placed by volunteers and humanitarian workers. Abbott continues to ship migrants to New York City, Washington, DC, Chicago and Martha's Vineyard.

Former president Donald J. Trump has told Republicans to block the bipartisan bill to deal with the U.S.-Mexican border. He wants revenge and wants Republicans to deny Biden a victory.

A border wall is a monument to white supremacy. The United States and Israel have not learned from the Berlin Wall situation. It divides us. Mexico could impose sanctions and the Global South will hold America responsible for deaths. They will push for less American influence.

The border wall nonsense is a rhetoric of 19th Century propaganda. The Mexican–American War, also known in the United States as the Mexican War, was an invasion of Mexico by the United States Army from 1846 to 1848. It followed the 1845 American annexation of Texas, which Mexico still considered its territory because Mexico refused to recognize the Treaties of Velasco, signed by President Antonio López de Santa Anna after he was captured by the Texian Army during the 1836 Texas Revolution. The Republic of Texas was de facto an independent country, but most of its Anglo-American citizens who had moved from the United States to Texas after 1822 wanted to be annexed by the United States.

Texas Republicans want to declare independence from the United States. Also threats of a civil war could be invoked through the rhetoric of Trump, Abbott and Republicans. 

It has been a constant propaganda grift whenever a Democratic president is in office.

A convoy of hundreds of far right extremists plans to head to the Texas border to stop migrants crossing into the country from Mexico.

The group, called "Take Our Border Back," is organizing on Telegram and now has more than 1,600 followers.

One of the group's organizers described them as "God's army" in a planning call, according to Vice.

Biden on Friday pressed Congress to embrace a bipartisan Senate deal to pair border enforcement measures with Ukraine aid, but House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) suggested the compromise on border and immigration policy could be “dead on arrival” in his chamber.

The Democratic president said in a statement late Friday that the policies proposed would “be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country.” He also pledged to use a new emergency authority to “shut down the border” as soon as he could sign it into law.

Biden’s embrace of the deal — and Republican resistance — could become an election-year shift on the politics of immigration. Yet the diminishing prospects for its passage in Congress may have far-reaching consequences for U.S. allies around the globe, especially Ukraine.

The Republicans could have solved the problem when George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump were in charge. They only do this nonsense when Democrats are in charge.

Why do the Democrats do worse at marketing? 

Why do the Republicans use fear and xenophobia to score political points?

Come to cities in the Midwest and all you see are vacant buildings. Businesses closing up shop and folks tagging abandoned properties. With community centers closing, malls enforcing curfews, Saturday morning cartoons extinct, schools are consolidating due to budget cuts and among other issues, teens are resorting to criminal acts like the Kia Boyz and TikTok challenges.

Republicans are stripping away food aid from poor and need families. They are pushing for laws to outlaw transgender children from receiving medical care. They want to impose more stricter laws when it comes to voting. They want more Americans upset over issues that don't affect their lives. I mean crying about the border doesn't stop fentanyl from coming into the United States. Fentanyl is killing white people more than people of color. More Americans are not going to church on Sunday. Work is exhausting and more Americans are not getting rest and taking vacations.

So instead of working to solve problems, Republicans rather use their only muscle: their tongues. Their tongues are not drafting bills. It is only pandering to white nationalism.

Republicans can't govern.

Vince McMahon Out At WWE And TKO Again!

McMahon out at TKO/WWE.

Wait, I heard this same song and dance before and like clockwork, he will return in some fashion. The scandal that keeps on going for the losers of 2024. The WWE boss is back on in the news.

He is under federal watch for allegations of using undisclosed funds to pay off women who accused of him of sexual abuse. He and his buddy, former president Donald J. Trump have a history of being adulterers.

Vince McMahon is stepping down again from WWE and TKO Holdings.

Allegations that he pimped out women, did a fecal play on the accuser. The accuser said that he often tries to make them sign nondisclosure agreements to prevent news of his freaky behavior from being heard.

The UFC merged with the WWE. The USFL merged with the XFL. All the branding now holds under Ari Emanuel, Dana White, Dany Garcia, Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson, Paul "Triple H" Levesque and McMahon.

McMahon who is the most notable figure in the WWE is married to former Trump Small Business Administrator Linda McMahon. 

Vince was known for sexually predatory behavior towards women and possibly his own daughter Stephanie McMahon-Levesque.

In January 2024, a lawsuit was filed by Janel Grant, a former employee at WWE headquarters between 2019 and 2022 against the WWE as well as TKO (by proxy of ownership). Grant alleged that the then current TKO Executive Chairman Vince McMahon, had coerced her into a sexual relationship, and, along with the WWE executive John Laurinaitis and a WWE wrestler who was also a former WWE/UFC fighter [allegedly Brock Lesner], sexually trafficked her and repeatedly sexually assaulted her during 2020–2021. Grant alleged that she was subjected to "extreme cruelty and degradation" by McMahon, including being defecated upon during a sexual encounter. Grant stated that McMahon had agreed to pay her $3 million in 2022 in return for a NDA, but stopped paying after only $1 million had been paid following the initial public emergence of the sexual misconduct allegations the same year. 

Janel Grant wants other victims to come forward and finally put a nail in Vince McMahon's coffin. His reputation is similar to Donald J. Trump.

Federal prosecutors have subpoenaed McMahon, and have taken up the filing in question. 

One day after the report - on January 26, 2024 - Vince McMahon resigned from TKO. In a statement, McMahon said the decision was made "out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents, and all of the employees".

In the lawsuit, Grant said McMahon paid $1 million but stopped making payments thereafter. She seeks to void the NDA along with receiving unspecified financial damages.

The 67-page lawsuit also implicated a "former UFC heavyweight champion with whom WWE was actively trying to sign to a new contract."

Grant's representatives said she wished to go public with her allegations.

"Ms. Grant hopes that her lawsuit will prevent other women from being victimized," her attorney, Ann Callis, said in a statement Thursday. "The organization is well aware of Mr. McMahon's history of depraved behavior, and it's time that they take responsibility for the misconduct of its leadership."

McMahon briefly retired from WWE in July 2022 following revelations of multiple payouts to several women connected to sexual misconduct allegations. The internal investigation conducted by an outside law firm found $14.6 million in payments by McMahon.

WWE said that November that McMahon had repaid the company, and he was soon back with the organization.

Benzino: No Neck And No Fire, Marshall! 🔥🔥💀

The loser of 2024 and beyond.

The fire Marshall.....

Years later, a still simmering Eminem comes after Raymond Scott, formerly known as Benzino. He addressed the former rapper and warned him that his presence is only hurting his daughter, well known rapper Coi Leray. He also took aim at his legal woes, financial woes and the infamous Red Roof Inn incident where he and another man were in a room together in Atlanta. The Red Roof Inn is notorious for cruising and gay men have often flirted with Scott. 

Wack 100 mocked Scott for doing an OnlyFans account where he put a dildo up his....well.

The rap feud that never ended because Scott will not let it go.

Still talking, still beefing, still trolling, still crying..... still Raymond Scott.

The No Jumper interview may have been the reason why Em took aim at Scott.

Scott continued his support for grifter Umar Johnson. The controversial grifter had claimed that Eminem isn't a top list rapper because he was white and of course Scott agreed with it and threw his support to him.

So Em decided to hop on Cole Bennett's Lyrical Lemonade album and released the single Doomsday Pt. 2.

Man, I am guessing Scott will be angry over it.

What is the opposite of Benzino? (Uh, what?) A giraffe (Haha) - Eminem's most notorious feud. It has been over 20 years.

"Go at his neck," how the fuck is that? (Yeah) - Social media clowns on Scott for having no neck.

Eminem said the opposite of Benzino is a giraffe. It has a long neck.

How can I go at somethin' he doesn't have? (Haha) - Eminem says it's wasting his time responding to him. He also said Scott doesn't have the bars to respond. He also used the neck reference, the financial struggles he facing and the fame he will never have.

When they're above his head doin' jumpin' jacks (Wow) - Eminem calling him out for being on steroids and cocaine.

Marshall keeps the fire burning.

Guess that Coi Leray feat's in the toilet, ayy? (Goddamn) - Coi Leray stated in a podcast she would have to ask her dad before she ever does one. Eminem mocked the fact that Scott ranted on podcasts about her album features. Nicki Minaj almost pulled after Scott leaked information about her being on the album.

Damage due to flows, collateral, I s'pose - Eminem knows it will attract attention. He also meant what he said when he doesn't give a fuck about the reactions. He made it clear in the dig at Coi Leray.

It's Aftermath that I ride for 'til I die - Eminem signed to Aftermath in 1998 and is currently the only talent who been with the label the longest. He also has Shady Records with acts like Bad Meets Evil, Grip, Ez Mil and [Westside] Boogie. Aftermath has Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Ez Mil and Anderson Paak. 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, The Game, Young Buck, Truth Hurts and Stat Quo were previously signed to Aftermath.

Coi Leray had also responded to Em's feud with her dad. The rapper cautiously dismissed the two and stated that she is looking forward to making an album and not getting involved in her father's controversies.

Rap beef is so washed and tired. Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just fucking over all corny as fuck. 🚮

I am certain that Scott will be talking about this for months. To this day, Scott blames Em, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, Angie Martinez, Funkmaster Flex, Julia Beverly, Kim Osorio, Mr. Gzuz, Coi Leray,  Real World Police, Althea Hart, Stevie J, Joseline Hernández, Mona Scott, NoLifeShaq, The Evolve, Crypt, DJ Vlad, Busta Rhymes, Russell Simmons, Quincy Jones III, DJ Mister Cee, Star, Angela Yee, Wendy Williams and even his old friend Dave Mays for his fucked up situations.

Scott said that no one in the hood plays Eminem's music. He said Em's music is trailer trash and his fans voted for Donald J. Trump. He said thinks Em rhymes "masturbater in the elevator" whenever he's on the mic.

Tell me: 

Has anyone in the hood ever heard of a Benzino song? 

Or perhaps has anyone ever played any of Benzino's music?

In closing, Benzino: No Neck and Fire, Marshall!

83 Million Reasons!

Guess all that name calling came at a price.

Former president Donald J. Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages for defamation and the sexual assault.

It was a stinging and expensive rebuke to former Trump for his continued social media attacks against the longtime advice columnist over her claims that he sexually assaulted her in a Manhattan department store.

The award, coupled with a $5 million sexual assault and defamation verdict last year from another jury in a case brought by Carroll, raised to $88.3 million what Trump must pay her. Protesting vigorously, he said he would appeal.

Carroll, 80, clutched her lawyers’ hands and smiled as the seven-man, two-woman anonymous jury delivered its verdict. Minutes later, she shared a weepy three-way hug with her attorneys.

She declined comment as she left the Manhattan federal courthouse, but issued a statement later through a publicist, saying, “This is a great victory for every woman who stands up when she’s been knocked down, and a huge defeat for every bully who has tried to keep a woman down.”

Trump had attended the trial earlier in the day, but stormed out of the courtroom during closing arguments by Carroll’s attorney. He returned for his own attorney’s closing argument and for a portion of the deliberations, but left the courthouse a half hour before the verdict was read.

Trump smirked and insulted the judge and E. Jean Carroll.

“Absolutely ridiculous!” he said in a statement shortly afterward. “Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.”

His attorney, Alina Habba, said the verdict resulted because Trump’s opponents were suing “in states where they know they will get juries like this.”

“It will not deter us. We will keep fighting. And, I assure you, we didn’t win today, but we will win,” she said.

The trial reached its conclusion as Trump marches toward winning the Republican presidential nomination a third consecutive time. He has sought to turn his various trials and legal vulnerabilities into an advantage, portraying them as evidence of a weaponized political system.

Though there’s no evidence that President Joe Biden or anyone in the White House has influenced any of the legal cases against him, Trump’s line of argument has resonated with his most loyal supporters, who view the proceedings with skepticism.

Nikki Haley, his last major rival in the Republican primaries, said on social media Friday that the verdict meant that people were “talking about $83 million in damages” rather than fixing the border or inflation.

With the Carroll civil case behind him, Trump still faces 91 criminal charges in four indictments accusing him of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election, mishandling classified documents and arranging payoffs to a porn star.

It was the second time in nine months that a civil jury returned a verdict related to Carroll’s claim that a flirtatious, chance encounter with Trump in 1996 at Bergdorf Goodman’s Fifth Avenue store ended violently. She said Trump slammed her against a dressing room wall, pulled down her tights and forced himself on her.

In May, a different jury awarded Carroll $5 million. It found Trump not liable for rape, but responsible for sexually abusing Carroll and then defaming her by claiming she made it up. He is appealing that award, too.

Trump stormed out during testimony.

Trump is also awaiting a verdict in a New York civil fraud trial, where state lawyers are seeking the return of $370 million in what they say were ill-gotten gains from loans and deals made using financial statements that exaggerated his wealth.

As for Trump’s ability to pay, he reported having about $294 million in cash or cash equivalents on his most recent annual financial statement, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. Testifying at his civil fraud trial last November, Trump boasted, “I have very little debt, and I have a lot of cash.”

Trump skipped the first Carroll trial. He later expressed regret for not attending and insisted on testifying in the second trial, though the judge limited what he could say, ruling he had missed his chance to argue that he didn’t attack Carroll. He spent only a few minutes on the witness stand Thursday, during which he denied assaulting Carroll, then left court grumbling “this is not America.”

This new jury was only asked how much Trump, 77, should pay Carroll for two statements he made as president when he answered reporters’ questions after excerpts of Carroll’s memoir were published in a magazine — damages that couldn’t be decided earlier because of legal appeals. Jurors were not asked to re-decide the issue of whether the sex attack actually happened.

In her closing argument Friday, Carroll attorney Roberta Kaplan requested $24 million in compensatory damages and “an unusually high punitive award.” The jury awarded $18.3 million in compensatory damages and another $65 million in punitive damages — meant to deter future behavior.

Kaplan urged jurors to punish Trump enough that he would stop a steady stream of public statements smearing Carroll as a liar and a “whack job.”

She noted that Trump had boasted of at least $14 billion in assets and that his brand alone is worth $10 billion.

“Donald Trump is prepared to use his wealth and power to defame people whenever he wants,” she said. “He ignored the last verdict as if it had never happened.”

Kaplan said he didn’t show up at last year’s trial when a jury determined he had sexually assaulted and defamed Carroll, but “he made sure” to attend most of this year’s trial because it focused solely on damages.

“While Donald Trump may not care about the law, while he certainly doesn’t care about the truth, he does care about money,” the lawyer said.

Big punitive damages, she told jurors, was the only way “to give Ms. Carroll a chance at a normal life again where she is not regularly bullied and humiliated by one of the most powerful men on the planet.”

E. Jean Carroll wins back her soul.

Trump shook his head vigorously as Kaplan spoke early in her summation, then suddenly stood and walked out, taking Secret Service agents with him. His exit came only minutes after the judge, without the jury present, threatened to send his attorney to jail for continuing to talk when he told her she was finished.

“You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup. Now sit down,” the judge told Habba, who immediately complied.

Carroll testified early in the trial that Trump’s public statements had led to death threats.

“He shattered my reputation,” she said. “I am here to get my reputation back and to stop him from telling lies about me.”

She said she’d had an electronic fence installed around the cabin in upstate New York where she lives, warned neighbors of the threats and bought bullets for a gun she keeps by her bed.

“Previously, I was known simply as a journalist and had a column, and now I’m known as the liar, the fraud, and the whack job,” Carroll testified.

Trump’s lawyer, Habba, told jurors that Carroll had been enriched by her accusations against Trump and achieved fame she had craved. She said no damages were warranted after Trump’s lawyers had established that Carroll didn’t suffer emotionally from Trump’s statements and “she certainly hasn’t suffered professionally.”

To support Carroll’s request for millions in damages, Northwestern University sociologist Ashlee Humphreys had testified that Trump’s 2019 statements had caused between $7.2 million and $12.1 million in harm to Carroll’s reputation.

When Trump finally testified, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan gave him little room to maneuver after saying Trump was not permitted to revive issues settled in the first trial.

“It is a very well-established legal principle in this country that prevents do-overs by disappointed litigants,” said Kaplan, who is unrelated to Roberta Kaplan.

“He lost it and he is bound. And the jury will be instructed that, regardless of what he says in court here today, he did it, as far as they’re concerned. That is the law,” Kaplan said shortly before Trump testified.

After he swore to tell the truth, Trump was asked if he stood by a deposition in which he called Carroll a “liar” and a “whack job.” He answered: “100 percent. Yes.”

Asked if he denied the allegation because Carroll made an accusation, he responded: “That’s exactly right. She said something, I consider it a false accusation.” Asked if he ever instructed anyone to hurt Carroll, he said: “No. I just wanted to defend myself, my family, and frankly, the presidency.”

The judge ordered the jury to disregard the “false accusation” comment and everything Trump said after “No” to the last question.

Earlier in the trial, Trump tested the judge’s tolerance. When he complained to his lawyers about a “witch hunt” and a “con job” within earshot of jurors, Kaplan threatened to eject him from the courtroom if it happened again. “I would love it,” Trump said. Later that day, Trump told a news conference Kaplan was a “nasty judge.”

ICJ Rules That Israel Must Be Held Accountable!

The International Court of Justice ruled against Israel.

Israel will defy the International Court of Justice ruling. 

Republicans will defy the Supreme Court of the United States ruling.

The far right will destroy democracy if they are in charge of governing.

The ICJ ruled that Israel must take measures to ensure there will no longer be any civilian casualties and stop delaying humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip.

In a hearing, the panel of United Nations judges said the case against Israel could go ahead, recognising that some of the actions described by South Africa could fall under the genocide convention. The judges affirmed Palestinians were a protected group under the convention and issued several legally binding emergency provisions, although stopped short of calling for a ceasefire.

ICJ President, Judge Joan E. Donoghue, said that Israel must “take all measures within its power” to ensure, “with immediate effect”, that its military forces abstain from committing any acts mentioned in the genocide convention. The court also ordered Israel to preserve evidence related to alleged acts of genocide and to report back to the court on measures implemented within a month.

Citing several instances of “dehumanising language” used about Palestinians by senior Israeli officials, Judge Donoghue ordered Israel to also prevent and punish direct incitement of genocide.

Israel will defy the ruling, 

The court said Israel must also take immediate measures to enable the provision of aid in Gaza, noting the deteriorating humanitarian situation.

The interim emergency measures were requested by South Africa in December when it filed its case against Israel, alleging that the country’s military offensive in Gaza constitutes state-led genocide against Palestinians.

South Africa called on the court to rule Israel “immediately cease its military operations in Gaza, take reasonable measures to prevent the genocide of Palestinians, ensure that the displaced return to their homes and have access to humanitarian assistance, including adequate food, water, fuel, medical and hygiene supplies, shelter and clothing.”

During a two-day hearing earlier in January, lawyers representing South Africa in the Hague accused Israel of conducting a military campaign that has brought Palestinian life to the edge of destruction and famine. Israel contested the charges and maintained that its actions are a legitimate self-defence response to Hamas’ terror attack on October 7, which resulted in 1,400 deaths.

Despite Friday’s interim measures, it could take years before the full case brought by South Africa reaches its conclusion.

The RNC Is Stealing The Election From Nikki Haley!

I'll give you time to figure out what's wrong with this picture. I will give you a hint, extra digits.

Remember Donald J. Trump had said that Hillary Clinton was stealing the nomination from Bernie Sanders?

Well, it appears that the thumb is on the scale for Trump and the RNC is willing to force Nikki Haley out despite the former UN ambassador vowing to stay in.

The Republicans will push for a coronation for Trump despite other states not having a primary.

Republicans are willing to nominate a candidate who has so many flaws. His former staff (including Haley) believe he is unfit to serve again. He has criminal indictments in federal and state court. He is costing Republicans money and Trump is bleeding the party dry.

They want to sabotage President Joe Biden at all costs. Biden is facing a tough road ahead as well. His job approval is low thanks to Israel, his age, the economy and folks not seeing the benefits of his policies.

The Republicans have no plans other than scaring up voters with fear of the border, crime, transgender Americans, allegations of Biden corruption, Hunter Biden and the belief that the economy was better under Trump.

The Republicans can't even govern in the House of Representatives.

Yet, they want to reclaim power.

Trump should be banned from running for president. 

1. He tried to overthrow democracy.

2. He can't handle a crisis.

3. He just can't stay focused on issues.

4. He has criminal charges against him.

Trump said he would be a dictator. He wants to arrest his political rivals. He wants to protect himself from criminal conviction and fulfill a promise to never leave once elected.

The Republican National Committee is reviewing a draft resolution that, if approved, would declare Donald Trump the party’s presumptive 2024 presidential nominee even as Nikki Haley continues to wage a vigorous campaign against the former president and frontrunner.

Nikki Haley and Ronna McDaniel.

The draft resolution, obtained by The Dispatch Thursday morning, was proposed by David Bossie, an RNC committeeman from Maryland and close Trump ally. His effort to put the national party on a general election footing behind Trump follows RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel saying after the former president defeated Haley in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary that it was time for Republicans to unite behind the frontrunner and focus on defeating President Joe Biden.

“RESOLVED that the Republican National Committee hereby declares President Trump as our presumptive 2024 nominee for the office of President of the United States and from this moment forward moves into full general election mode welcoming supporters of all candidates as valued members of Team Trump 2024,” reads a key portion of the draft resolution.

Under current RNC rules, Trump still has to win the requisite number of nominating convention delegates—1,215—to become the party’s unchallenged presumptive nominee. After the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, Trump leads Haley in the race for delegates 32 to 17. 

But passage of this resolution, possibly next week at the RNC winter meeting in Las Vegas, could begin a preemptive process of the national party working with the former president as if he had already done so. And under RNC rules, that is permissible. This resolution, even in draft form, also functions as another sign that the GOP establishment is anxious to coalesce behind Trump and put an end to a presidential primary that, after his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, the former president looks poised to win.
