Trump hopes he can get the Big Beautiful Bill passed. Jobs report showed slow growth.

FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸!

I want President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance to fail. I want Israel to fail. And fail they shall.

I am not ashamed to say this.

A civil war is coming.

World War III is here.

So the most dangerous thing in the United States is gun violence. Let's do the numbers.

How many (up to 3 deaths or injuries) shootings? 

7,405 shootings.

How many mass shootings?

235 mass shootings.

How many school shootings?

7 school shootings.

How many civilians killed by police?

610 people killed by police.

How many police officers killed by civilians, animals or nature?

41 members of law enforcement.

How many firefighters and first responders died in incidents?

98 members of firefighters and first responders.

Now this jobs report.

Of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the jobs report details how many jobs were spread across the United States. Some areas seen job growth while others saw job losses.

Since Independence Day falls on Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the jobs report on Thursday and it shows a contraction.

The U.S. added 147,000 jobs in June, soundly beating estimates and offering a welcome sign that the economy remains in relatively solid shape.

The unemployment rate fell from 4.2% to 4.1%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday. The job gains for April and May were revised up by a combined 16,000.

June's increases were led by roles in state and local government education, which added 63,500 positions, with state and local roles overall accounting for half of all job gains for the month. Healthcare and social assistance added another 58,600, while leisure and hospitality grew by 20,000 and construction gained 15,000.

Employment declined in the federal government, professional services and manufacturing.

Yet there are signs that it remains difficult for those who've been out of work to land a job. The number of long-term unemployed people increased by 190,000 to 1.6 million, largely offsetting a decrease in the prior month.

The median and average unemployment duration climbed back to near pandemic-era highs, with the share of those out of work for 15 weeks or more jumping from 34.9% to 38.3%, reversing a downtrend over the last six months.

Stock futures rallied in pre-market trading even as traders dialed back the odds of an interest rate cut in July by the Federal Reserve, something President Donald Trump has continued to call for.

Microsoft lays off 10,000 workers. It shut down Xbox releases for 2025.

Consumers and businesses are still grappling with the uncertainty caused by Trump’s tariff policies, which are contributing to volatile economic data.

On one hand, the inflation rate has so far proven stable, while average earnings continue to grow at a healthy clip. Stocks have returned to all-time highs, and in testimony last week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell described overall economic conditions as “solid.”

“Look at labor force participation, look at wages, look at job creation,” Powell said. “They’re all at healthy levels now. I would say you can see perhaps a very, very slow continued cooling but nothing that’s troubling at this time.”

On the other hand, Powell’s assertions have not sat well with Trump, who has continued to harangue him to lower interest rates. On Wednesday evening, the president said Powell should "resign immediately."

Commentary from U.S. firms and various other data points paint a more worrisome portrait of the economy. The latest survey of manufacturers from the Institute for Supply Chain Management found some firms describing the business environment as “hellacious” and “too volatile” to make long-term procurement decisions.

On Wednesday, the private payrolls processor ADP reported a net decline in jobs added, which hasn’t occurred since March 2023 — and before that, the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic. The May figure was revised even lower, to just 29,000 jobs added, from 37,000.

“Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month,” Nela Richardson, ADP’s chief economist, said in a statement Wednesday morning.

Clarity about tariffs has been set to arrive by next week, with Trump earmarking July 9 as his deadline to negotiate new trade deals. While he said this week that he doesn't plan to extend it, White House officials have more recently indicated that key date is “not critical.”

Meanwhile, Republicans continue to debate Trump’s tax cut and spending bill in Congress even as it has cleared some key hurdles.

“Companies need business visibility in taxes and policy if they are going to take the risk of hiring a new employee,” Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer of Bleakley Financial Group, wrote in a note to clients. “And tariffs, on again/off again, have just thrown mud into the gears of business activity.”

An additional hiring report released this week by the job consultancy Challenger, Gray and Christmas showed that through June, U.S. employers have announced 82,932 planned hires, a 19% increase over the 69,920 announced at this point in 2024.

The great hope is a New York assemblyman who is a Muslim. Zohran Mamdani is challenging the status quo of both failed Democratic and Republican leadership.

Yet that rate remains historically low, it said.

“Hiring announcements in 2025 suggest a cautious but stabilizing labor market,” Senior Vice President Andrew Challenger said in a release. “While companies are clearly adding workers at a higher rate than in 2024, the restraint shown relative to previous years indicates continued uncertainty around costs, automation, and the broader economic outlook. Without a strong economic driver, hiring may remain measured through the rest of the year.”

President Donald J. Trump is in need of a big win this week. The president celebrated the Supreme Court wins and the unprecedented powers he's been given shows how fucked up our country is.

Israel is having some problems. Iran, worldwide boycotts, Israelis being denied entry into countries, active IDF soliders being detained or arrested in ICC supported countries, instability, wildfires, protests and soliders losing trust in their government. We are seeing the collapse coming.

Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Christianity, Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue. You can freely criticize Israel, Jews, Trump, Vance, Biden, Harris, Benjamin Netanyahu, AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

Racism unfortunately is protected speech.

Antisemitism is protected speech.

Being a bigot is a choice which allows some people to "other" those who do not agree with the status quo of how America is ran. 

More protests are expected to protest ICE and No Kings.

Trump is against DEI. The president supports banning DEI when it supports people of color, those in LGBTQ community and immigrants. Every other religion that isn't Christian, Catholic or Jewish is DEI and it has to go.

The U.S. violated the USMCA by imposing tariffs on its trading partners. Mexico and Canada have vowed to impose their series of tariffs. BRICS is courting Mexico to join the organization.

The world is losing patience with the U.S. and Israel. Many countries are moving away from the U.S. dollar.

Israelis are being banned from entry in several Global South countries.

Countries that deny entry to Israeli passport holders: Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, The United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. 

More countries are considering to ban Israelis. The only country that wants to keep Israelis coming in without any problems is the United States.

Trump despite winning the election is still telling Americans that if he doesn't win, there will be all out war. He has already sparked global tension with threats of tariffs on our trading partners.

Republicans can't govern in the House of Representatives and Senate. They are pushing authoritarianism in states they have control of. They are banning swatting, honing and regulations on testing. But when it comes to people being killed by firearms, they refuse to do something. Even with the Big Beautiful Bill on cusp of being passed, Republicans still sabotage themselves and Trump. The bill itself is a disgrace that could impact millions of working class Americans, the poor, the needy, transgender Americans, professional gamblers, the adult entertainment industry and so many others. 

Republicans don't care because of course, y'all voted for this.

Republicans are using dog whistles when talking about Blacks, immigrants, transgender Americans, Israel, crime, protesters and gun violence.

1. Hamas are terrorists to Israel and the United States. Those who support Hamas or defend their actions are labeled terrorist sympathizers, antisemitic, traitors, unpatriotic, radicals or whatever they conjure up.

2. Gun violence is the No. 1 threat to children and adults. When gun violence happen in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Detroit and Baltimore, a Republican lawmaker wants to blame gun violence on Democratic mayors instead of the Congress. Over 60 mass shootings this year alone.

3. Immigration is right now at record lows. The world views the U.S. as a hostile country and migrants from the Global South are beginning to ban American influence. They fear Trump's presidency could cause instability. Republicans are pushing for border closures, border/segregation walls, mass deportations, elimination of birthright citizenship, end of legal rights to Americans married to immigrants and push for English only. They also want to ban immigrants or student visas. They want to jail or deport any immigrant who protest Israel or Trump.

4. Crime is at record lows. But property theft is up. Shoplifting, the Kia/Hyundai challenge, gun violence, white collar crimes and cybertheft have occurred. But again its racial dog whistles. Many corporations are getting away with greed and theft of wages. Many Americans are tired of paying more for less product. Kia and Hyundai are still facing criticism over this Kia Boyz nonsense. Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Wexman are on their last legs. Walmart, Target and Kroger are closing stores in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods. Republicans are pushing for more mandatory sentences for theft. Democrats want to push for regulations on shrinkflation and theft of wages. Republicans oppose overtime and regulations to keep corporations from raising product prices.

Republicans want political revenge. Trump wants to jail his rivals. He may get that wish now that he has returned to power. This is not a joke. 

Do not assume that every place has jobs. Companies are closing up shop. The tech industry, retail, trucking and press are laying off workers. The service industry is continuing to suffer due to stagnant wages, lack of achievements and work overload.

Also, housing is still down. More Americans can't afford rent or car payments.

AIPAC has poured money into many of these primaries. It openly bragged that its choices which were Democrats and Republicans beating their challengers.

House members passed a bill to define antisemitism in attempt to suppress freedom of speech. The insufferable House of Representatives in a bipartisan moment are trying to criminalize thought and dissent.

They are now trying to outlaw any criticism of Israel as hate speech which could be punishable by sanctions, divestment or allowing companies to terminate employment of anyone who dares criticizes Israel.

Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.

The Congress has less work than most Americans. It is infuriating that the average worker works more 50 hours a week while 157 House members and 36 senators work on average of 25 hours a week.

Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the media, Democrats and former Republicans. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions.

To make this clear, it doesn't matter anymore who the fucking president is. 

The status quo continues with political charades, support of Israel and endless culture war grievances.

Trump will be inheriting a stable economy but a very divided country.

I will hold Trump accountable for his actions.

I. Am. Calling. Him. Out. 

What pisses me off is our lawmakers are calling protesters "Hamas supporters" to paint peaceful protests as an act of "terrorism." Their reactionary response to anger over America's support of Israel will lead to our standing with the world. 

Sean "Puffy" Combs aka Diddy escapes a life term in his federal criminal case.

With billions of dollars of aid going to Israel, you would think that American lawmakers would have our taxpayer money spent on more useful things!

The lawmakers will spend more taxpayer money to fix our crumbling infrastructure. Hell we still have the aftermaths of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. Over 1,500 people have died from those horrible hurricanes.
Many of these Republicans who vote against funding the government and assistance for some of America's less fortunate are willing to give billions to a foreign nation engaged in an illegal act of genocide. Same with Democrats. They claim they want to protect democracy but endorse a fascist government sworn to being an ethnostate on our taxpayer dime.

Monthly reminders: 

A deadly disease doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations.

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in. However, there is always a catch to working entry level jobs that make over $20 an hour. Folks must work hours that do not accommodate home and social life, it may only be part time work or temporary. Some jobs may force overtime or refuse to pay for work rendered. With unions being weaken by states, it may be an at-will company. So if you are on social media, protesting injustices, supporting controversial issues or making threats to local officials; you could lose your job.

Companies are cautious about hiring employees. Because of the Trump administration rolling back DEI and arresting undocumented workers, employers are struggling to keep employees. It puts more on the workers, managers and suppliers. 

With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to work at jobs 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 will never get it. They just won't see the bigger picture itself. Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They are frustrated with stagnant wages. 

They are tired of low wages for heavy workloads. They are tried of food and consumer products being expensive. 

Republicans rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people using the safety net are lazy and unemployment assistance is way to make people not go back to work.

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

We can't always assume that folks who do not work are lazy. These troupes give Republicans the opportunity to strip away the safety net to offset their endless giveaways to the elite and wealthy.

People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus, monkeypox, measles, bird flu and gun violence.

Most Americans are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

Many single parents 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 and unforseen circumstances due to Trump’s chaotic policies. 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.

Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience. 

Trump's presidency and Republican controlled governments are incompetent.

Their leadership has killed millions of Americans. 

Iran is ending its partnership with the IAEA after the U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear facilities.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. 

Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Republicans have extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.

Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.

Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments 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. We are tracking police violence and school shootings as well. 

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.

The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

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. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want our American military out of the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.

Homeless Man Breaks Into Toledo Mud Hens Ballpark And Siphons The Soft Drinks!

Bring homeless makes you do things to survive. A man broke into the Toledo Mud Hens baseball stadium and stole food.

I almost wanted to have some pity for the man. He did not attempt to steal sports merchandise, money or electronics from Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio.

He stole Pepsi, popcorn, wine coolers, peanuts, hamburgers and hotdogs.

The Toledo Police are looking for him.

James Benschoter, 59 must be a homeless vagrant who has to survive. Ohio is a totally dying state. Republicans are driving the state into the toilet.

Being surpassed by North Carolina is soon than most think. Ohio is the 7th most populated state. North Carolina is only 1.2 million away from breaking into the 7th spot. 

Ohio has a population of 12.3 million. 

North Carolina has a population of 11.9 million.

Anyway, the whole issue with this larceny of condiments. He used a bolt cutter to break into the ballpark. He managed to get into the food vendors lobby. He took at least 100 bottles of Pepsi, a bag of popcorn, two unknown products, a wine cooler and 40 pints of ice cream.

Benschoter has previously been charged with criminal trespassing for living in the basement of a Toledo business, according to WTOL-11.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Catch the wing.

Other police reports indicate Benschoter allegedly steals these items by filling a bag with them.

For these incidents, Toledo police have issued warrants for Benschoter's arrest. He is charged with four counts of fifth-degree felony breaking and entering. 

Police said they were able to identify Benschoter because officers have dealt with him "several times" in the past. 

Earlier police affidavits indicate Benschoter has previously been charged with criminal trespassing for living in the basement of Hub Group, as well as attempting to hide under a desk on the property of Durty Bird. For the former, he was found guilty and sentenced to inactive probation. 

Trump Got $16 Million From Paramount Over Kamala Harris Clips!

Suing the media is a favorite sport.

Remember the words.

The Elite.

If you say it enough times it sounds like delete.

A civil war is coming.

Y'all voted for this.

A frivolous lawsuit settlement fumes the newsroom.

Paramount said late Tuesday that it has agreed to pay President Donald J. Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the editing of an interview on the CBS News program “60 Minutes,” an extraordinary concession to a sitting president by a major media organization.

Paramount said its payment includes Trump’s legal fees and costs and that the money, minus the legal fees, will be paid to Trump’s future presidential library.

As part of the settlement, Paramount said that it had agreed to release written transcripts of future “60 Minutes” interviews with presidential candidates. The company said that the settlement did not include an apology.

The deal is the clearest sign yet that Trump’s ability to intimidate major American institutions extends to the media industry.

Sheri Redstone is dying of cancer. She wants to sell Paramount Entertainment which is the owner of CBS, MTV Media Group, PlutoTV, Paramount Plus and National Amusements.

She owns a majority stake in the companies and has say over how things are ran.

Shari Redstone, the chair and controlling shareholder of Paramount, told her board that she favored exploring a settlement with Trump. Some executives at the company viewed the president’s lawsuit as a potential hurdle to completing a multibillion-dollar sale of the company to the Hollywood studio Skydance, which requires the Trump administration’s approval.

This little woman sold out journalism. Sheri Redstone decided to settle instead of fighting for her company and the employees it serves.

After weeks of negotiations with a mediator, lawyers for Paramount and Trump worked through the weekend to reach a deal ahead of a court deadline that would have required both sides to begin producing internal documents for discovery, according to two people familiar with the negotiations. Another deadline loomed: Paramount was planning to make changes to its board of directors this week that could have complicated the settlement negotiations.

Redstone is also a Zionist. She is a Jewish American businesswoman who supports Israel's genocide in Gaza. 

She personally had Bill Owens removed from 60 Minutes.

Redstone forced Norah O'Donnell to resign from the CBS Evening News. She told Nate Burelson wear more suits for CBS Mornings. Had Ta-Nehisi Coates banned from CBS after his fallout with Tony Dokoupil. 

Redstone has considered selling BET and VH-1 because they ain't profitable for her brand.

The cancellation of Poppa's House, FBI International, FBI Most Wanted, Blue Bloods, SWAT and other programs on CBS were because of her cost cutting.

It is a slap to the face of the hard working journalists who have the press freedom to challenge our government and those elected to office. Think about it!

Could Joe Biden sue Fox, Newsmax, Real America's Voice, NewsNation, Salem Media Group, One America News and Breitbart for years of pandering misinformation?

This whole lawsuit involves a shorten clip of former vice president Kamala Harris addressing an issue over immigration. 

Mob Boss Jonathan Greenblatt Demands Zohran Mamdani To Talk To His Jewish Buddies!

The ADL CEO is a mob boss.

Jonathan Greenblatt has never been challenged on his remarks. It almost appears to be a requirement for him not to be challenged whenever he does interviews with the junk food media.

He must he called out on his remarks and challenged. 

Sometimes the things people don't say are actually what we hear the loudest.

At a time when anti-Jewish hate has surged to record levels, it's shocking that any candidate would be unwilling to tell Jewish New Yorkers explicitly and unambiguously, "Here is my plan." Or "I’m with… pic.twitter.com/AUdT1x2w5P

— Jonathan Greenblatt (@JGreenblattADL) June 30, 2025

At @ADL, we strongly believe in freedom of speech. But freedom of speech doesn't give you the freedom to incite violence against a group of people. And that's exactly what Bob Vylan tried to do at @glastonbury this weekend.

More in my conversation with @johnrobertsFox ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/uu3YjSqKeC

— Jonathan Greenblatt (@JGreenblattADL) July 1, 2025

He cannot be interviewed without being challenged.

The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League is a controversial figure. He is a former advisor to former president Barack Obama. He joined the ADL in 2017 and has become the face of the organization.

The most vicious person in the junk food media, Greenblatt will insult and defame critics. He will toss around antisemitism at anyone who criticizes Israel.

He has been on this mission to target Zodran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor.

He appeared on MSNBC this week to denounce Mamdani.

The asshole declared that Mamdani “doesn’t get to pick and choose which Jewish people he talks to” and that “he needs to come to us.”

It almost sounds like he is a mob boss.

Ignore the noise.

This asshole turns of comments and regulates who interacts with him.

I believe Greenblatt is an agent of the Israeli regime. The ADL is spying on Americans and is pushing for draconian laws that restrict freedoms on behalf of Israel.

He refused to condemn Elon Musk when he did his salute.

Greenblatt often targets people of color. You notice a pattern when he is going after Black politicians, Black athletes, Black commentators, Arab leaders and people who are protesting against the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) and Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-CA) are Muslim Americans. They are often villainized by Greenblatt.

Hasan Piker, Kyrie Irving, Ye, Candace Owens, Bob Vylan and numerous others.

The Anti-Defamation League and Jonathan Greenblatt operate on behalf the Israeli regime and it is time to call this organization out. It is not a civil rights group. It is a foreign intelligence operation that is placed as a spy agency for Israeli interest.

Greenblatt should register as a foreign agent on behalf of Israel.

The U.S. and Great Britain police agencies have gotten their training from Israel.

The U.S. have gotten their "counter terrorism intelligence" from the ADL and AIPAC. The intelligence from these two foreign operatives has led to American law enforcement's push for discriminatory policing against Blacks, Latinos, Arabs, South Asian, Muslims and immigrants. It has lead to police arresting college students who protest. 

Protest is a symbol of American freedom.

Do not take this guy seriously. He is irrelevant. 

He is complicated to the war crimes and human rights abuses conducted by Israel.

Diddy Walks (Sort Of)!

Diddy walks. 

The pardon is coming.

On July 2, the U.S. District Court of Manhattan has made a decision involving a famous entertainer. This decision will shake hip-hop and the fashion world.

It also shows that being with the elite does protect you from the system.

Sean "Puffy" Combs, the disgraced media mogul was found not guilty on four of the five federal indictments. The charges included:

• Racketeering Conspiracy
• Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion
• Transportation to Engage in Prostitution

The serious ones was racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion.

He was found not guilty on those charges.

The 54 year old and his lawyers embraced once the decisions were made.

The prostitution charges are not as serious. It does carry up to five years and a sexual offender label. That can be appealed.

The defense won three acquittals, with Combs found guilty of the Mann Act transportation of former girlfriends Cassie Ventura and "Jane."

He was found not guilty of running a criminal enterprise and two counts of sex trafficking.

Known as Diddy, Combs maintained innocence and fought hard despite the allegations of mob behavior.

While in court, he nearly fainted when the counts were read. 

Combs was on his knees in the courtroom with his head down in a chair, seemingly praying after avoiding life in prison on the highest charges in his case.

His family stood in the background, clapping and cheering. The defense attorneys hugged each other, and Combs hugged lawyer Brian Steel.

The judge issued a gag order on jurors to not discuss the verdict until he has cleared them to do so.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian addressed the jury regarding the considerable press that Combs' trial has received over the last several weeks.

He advised the group that members of the media will want to speak to them, but they are free to refuse interviews. Subramanian also asked the media to refrain from asking jurors about their specific deliberations.

What happens in the jury room, stays in the jury room, Subramanian said.

He ended by thanking the jury for their sacrifice and asked them to go to the jury room, where he wanted to personally meet with them.

This verdict will assure he will be let go on a bond while he awaits the sentencing for the prostitution conviction.

Combs in court nearly fainted. He was pleased with the verdict.

Other people will immediately sue him.

The Bad Boy Records, Love Records, Bad Boy Entertainment, Revolt, Sean John, Ciroc and other venues will likely be given up by him.

Combs will likely get a pardon and communion from the president. After all, the president has allegations of sexual assualt and has been known to associate with Combs and Jeffrey Epstein.

President Donald J. Trump stated that he was not closely following the trial but would "certainly look at the facts".

50 Cent posted on Instagram expressing his intention to convince Trump not to issue any presidential pardons, writing "I'm gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy."

Trump has been friends with Combs in their overlapping tenures as celebrities. He has attended at least one of Diddy's now-infamous parties.

It's Radical To Have Free Childcare, Affordable Transportation, A Rent Freeze And Affordable Healthcare!

Capitalism is not good. We need to change the status quo in American politics, economics and governance. It is challenging but can be done.

Getting the poor and working class people to attack their own to protect the rich and elite has been an over 40 year experiment. Since Ronald Reagan, the culture wars, the class definitions and the junk food media have pushed Gen X and Gen Z against Boomers.

When you're seeing your community crumble as you are being fed false promises of change, you are now demanding a change to the status quo.

I would love to see an end to American funding of Israel.

I would love to see an end to capitalism in American economics. It has failed and we are in need of a new economic platform.

I would love to see an end to divisive politics. 

Alas, the status quo is strong. But we are seeing cracks in the system.

So in a capitalist United States of America, it is okay to drive through your community to see boarded up houses, boarded up businesses and empty streets.

In a capitalist United States of America, it is easier to be homeless than paying god awful amounts for rent, home mortgages and time shares.

In a capitalist United States of America, it is easier for corporations to raise the prices on food, medicine, energy consumption and water usage.

In a capitalist United States of America, a bank can literally take money out your account because of "maintenance fees" and overdraft protection. The banks can literally raise interest at their leisure. They make more off of the interest than the loans you taken out for college, a home, a vehicle or a vacation.

In a capitalist United States of America, vacations are more expensive. So you are paying more for gas, car maintenance, tires, hotels, parking, security locks, password protections, firearms holsters, GPS systems and so many other things for traveling. Hell, even the stops at fast food and sit in restaurants are more expensive.

In a capitalist United States of America, it is required that Americans pay more for less. It is easier to convince people that the poor are more of a problem than the billionaires. I mean Jeff Bezos has taken over a town to marry Lauren Sanchez at the cost of over $100 million. I mean Elon Musk can own two new homes and impregnate three new women (including Stephen Miller's estranged wife).

In a capitalist United States of America, we can help President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, First Lady Melania Trump, Second Lady Usha Vance and their families pocket billions without even batting a lash.

But oh it's a problem when a nobody from Queens calls for free childcare, a rent freeze, equal pay and affordable buses and subways.

Who's gonna pay for it?

Taxpayers and billionaires.

We already pay for billionaires. It's time for them to return the favor.

State assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor. 

The far right, Republicans and even Democrats are causally being racist, Islamophobic and totally out of touch with reality.

It is a shame that we are coming to point where a civil war is eminent.

There will be a violent uprising in the United States again. Trust me, I see it coming.

It first starts with Americans refusing to pay their taxes.

Then the government starts cracking down on dissent and free speech.

The government becomes unison in conflicts which involve regime change and unprecedented war crimes.

Then they start arresting critics, opposing lawmakers and people filming the public.

What Israel and the United States are doing is the inevitable demise of the two.

President Donald J. Trump is definitely a symbol of decline.

Religion is the cause of war, hate, instability, inequality and division.

We need strong leaders. Zohran Mamdani maybe the best thing in the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, the status quo Democrats are not keen to it.

If the world never believed in religion, the planet would likely advance in the future.

Keep Moving The Goalposts: Globalize The Intifada Is Antisemitism!

Globalize the Intifada. Cry harder Zionists. 

Globalize the Infitada.

Man, the Democratic and Republican Parties are the biggest gangs in America.

Americans, register as an independent. Stop donating to the Democratic and Republican Parties. Let the corporate donors and Zionists fund their useless agendas. 

Big money keep President Donald J. Trump and every member of the House and Senate continously out of touch with reality. It's time to clean house. 

Hopefully Americans start voting for candidates that focus on your needs and not the needs of a foreign country.

A civil war is coming.

There will be a violent uprising in the United States again. Trust me, I see it coming.

It first starts with Americans refusing to pay their taxes.

Then the government starts cracking down on dissent and free speech.

The government becomes unison in conflicts which involve regime change and unprecedented war crimes.

If the world never believed in religion, the planet would likely advance in the future.

Progressives are going to mount an insurgency to oust ineffective Democrats.

The Zionist lobby is making sure the Democrats are still riding with them. The House and Senate minority leaders both from New York are tepid in embracing New York assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.

Over the weekend, Mamdani spoke to the junk food media to outline his agenda and was constantly pelted with questions about his past remarks in regards to Israel.

This comment "Globalize the Infitada." This became a rally cry for pro Palestinian groups to demand freedom for Gaza and the West Bank. The Zionists once again in hasbara is trying to make this about the feelings of Jews.

Never in my life have I had to witness so much pearl clutching from these spineless lawmakers. Especially the Democratic Party. They are more of a threat than the Republicans.

Republicans are openly racist, Islamophobic and xenophobic.

Democrats are causally racist, Islamophobic and xenophobic.

With a job approval of 24%, the Democrats are certainly deserving of their fate.

The Democrats continue to be the party of the status quo. Democratic voters who are progressive have become tired of paying for high rent. They are tired of hearing promises but continued failure. They want a future where you shouldn't be bankrupt through a medical bill. They want a future where religion isn't a litmus test to why a person should run for office. They want a future where our lawmakers aren't in unison of sympathy for a foreign country.

New York Democrats, if you're tired of endless bullshit from the likes of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, it's time to primary these clowns for stronger members.

They want the Democratic Party to stop being conservatives.

Maybe there should be a serious third party where candidates can run on a platform.

The Democrats can't be the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" or "No Matter What." 

The Democrats should have a strong message.

"REBUILD THE COUNTRY FROM THE BOTTOM UP!"

"IF YOU WANT MOVEMENT WE MUST PROVIDE MOVEMENT!"

"WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US?"

These are some of the things I hope to get to the Democratic Party. Alas, they do not listen to me.

The party that wants to keep us voting for them fails to deliver on worker's rights, affordable childcare, women's rights, police reform and affordable healthcare. 

Even with a slim majority under former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the Democrats were dealt blows by the Supreme Court and the Republican state legislature.

We allowed it to happen because we allowed Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and John Fetterman's refusal to end cloture and vote by simple majority. They slowed down so much of Obama and Biden's agenda. 

Biden's legacy will be tarnished because of the genocide.

Mamdani is destroying the establishment. He paid attention to the economic needs of New Yorkers. He literally tapped into what caused voters to reject Biden and Harris. 

He didn't shame or push celebrity endorsements like former vice president Kamala Harris, Biden or even Trump. 

He literally sees the concerns to why Harris failed. Trump lied about lowering the prices and ending the war. He is still full steam ahead on a war with Iran, continuing the Gaza genocide and removing immigrants despite most of them being law abiding. A lot of his voters are betrayed.

Pay attention to economic needs and stop insulting our intelligence.

Zohran Mamdani, let's win this.

A man armed with a rifle started a wildfire Sunday and then began shooting at first responders in a northern Idaho mountain community, killing two firefighters and wounding a third during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said.

A shelter-in-place order was lifted Sunday night after a tactical response team used cell phone data to “hone in” on a wooded area where they found the suspect’s body with a firearm nearby as flames rapidly approached, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said.

Officials did not release his name, nor did they say what kind of gun was found.

“We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional,” Norris said at a Sunday night news conference. “These firefighters did not have a chance.”

Sheriff’s officials said crews responded to a fire at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d’Alene around 1:30 p.m., and gunshots were reported about a half hour later.

Suspect lit a wildfire to lure fire fighters and police,

Investigators said the gunman acted alone.

“We believe that was the only shooter that was on that mountain at that time,” Norris said.

Three victims were brought to Kootenai Health, said hospital spokesperson Kim Anderson. Two were dead on arrival and the third was being treated for injuries, Anderson said. The wounded firefighter was “fighting for his life” after surgery and was in stable condition, Norris said.

The scene was sheer pandemonium as the brush fire burned and firefighters rushed to the scene only to come under heavy fire.

First responders made urgent calls for help on their radios: “Everybody’s shot up here ... send law enforcement now,” according to one dispatch.

Gov. Little said “multiple” firefighting personnel were attacked.

“This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters,” Little said on X. “I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more.”

Norris said it appeared the sniper was hiding in the rugged terrain and using a high-powered rifle. He said he instructed deputies to fire back.

Just as the evening press conference was expected to begin, the bodies of the slain firefighters arrived in the nearby city of Spokane, Washington, escorted by a procession of fire and law enforcement vehicles. Firefighters and others saluted as the vehicles passed by.

An alert by the Kootenai County Emergency Management Office asked people to avoid the area around Canfield Mountain Trailhead and Nettleton Gulch Road, about 4 miles (6.5 km) north of downtown Coeur d’Alene.

Though the shelter-in-place order was lifted, the sheriff’s office cautioned residents to be prepared because the fire was still burning.

The FBI responded to the scene with technical teams and tactical support, Deputy Director Dan Bongino said.

The Idaho House Republican Leadership said in a statement: “We are horrified by the murder of two firefighters in Coeur d’Alene, and shocked by such a vicious attack on our first responders. We are praying for them, the injured, their families and their colleagues.”

Coeur d’Alene is a city of 55,000 residents near the border with Washington. Canfield Mountain is a popular hiking and biking area on the city’s outskirts, covered with trees and heavy brush and crisscrossed with trails that lead into a national forest.

Make America Great Again. We cannot stop gun violence but we can strip freedoms and due process in Idaho. Gov. Brad Little signed laws to affect Idahoans.

Fire is always a big concern for the region, said Bruce Deming, whose property abuts the trail system. When he noticed smoke on the ridge Sunday afternoon, he wondered why no firefighting helicopters were responding.

When a friend texted to tell him about the shooting, he realized why he wasn’t seeing aircraft: “Because they’re concerned about being shot at,” he said.

As deputies set up posts nearby, Deming pointed them to a trail that starts near his backdoor and leads directly to the site of the fire.

“I just don’t want to have to wake up in the middle of the night to figure if somebody’s out prowling around my place,” he said.

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!

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

IF THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO AID ISRAEL, THE WORLD WILL BOYCOTT THE U.S. AND ABANDON THE DOLLAR!

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

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

Trump gave us open season.

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. 

Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican legislators who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. 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. 

Image of the alleged shooter. Not a Muslim. Not an Arab. Not a Black person.

The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Israel is the red line. If any lawmaker, entertainer, athlete or social media influncer backs the apartheid ethnostate, they will face a boycott. 

Regardless of political affiliation, if you are supporting Israel, you are not getting donations or a vote from me.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments 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. We are tracking police violence and school shootings as well.

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to", blaming "illegal immigrants" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable. Let them know that you are tired of going to war at the behest of Israel or Urkaine. You want Congress and the president to solve the housing and homeless crisis. You want our American military out of the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-Semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We don't want any more wars on behalf of Israel. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and legislators avoid influence from lobbyists.
