Former Trump supporter comes out against him. She said Donald Trump sexually assaulted her.
When will Black people ever learn?
Don't place your hopes on a man who doesn't give a fuck about you!
During the 2016 presidential campaign nearly a dozen women came forward saying that Donald J. Trump sexually abused them. Some claim that he would forcibly kiss them, grope them, rape them and then pay them hush money to keep quiet about it.
Yet, the far-white and Trump himself have dismissed this as "fake news."
Enter, former butter biscuit Alva Johnson comes into the picture. In August 2016, Trump tried to forcibly kiss her without consent.
Johnson, one of the few Black folks who supported Trump now turned against him.
Johnson, the director of outreach and coalition in Alabama 2016, said in the federal lawsuit that Trump made the nonconsensual advance in Tampa.
Trump would grasp her hand and did not let go and kissed her on the corner of her mouth as she turned slightly away when she saw his lips coming towards her.
Never happened.
"The forced and unwanted kissed was deeply offensive to Johnson," the lawsuit says, adding that she suffered "emotional distress, psychological trauma, humiliation, embarrassment, loss of dignity, invasion of privacy and other damages."
White House dopeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that lawsuit never happened.
"This never happened and is directly contradicted by multiple highly credible eye witness accounts."
Johnson goes to the junk food media to tell her story.
Do you believe her?
The far-white claim that she had a restraining order against her back in 2006. According to The Washington Post, Johnson's half-sister alleged the accuser had been calling another sister's school and falsely claiming that the teenager was using drug.
The family members withdrew the petition three weeks later.
The states of Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio have seen a spike in hepatitis A and syphilis. Due to the rise of heroin and fentanyl, many Americans were being exposed to these diseases. The rise of sexually transmitted diseases is becoming an epidemic.
A man famous for questioning the U.S. government's deliberate attack on Black men.
William Carter Jenkins dedicated his life to combating racial inequality in the health care system.
He believed that some African Americans were exposed to syphilis in the 1960s. He tried to put an end to the Tuskegee syphilis study. He passed away a week ago but the family had confirmed his passing. He passed away at the age of 73.
As a government epidemiologist, Jenkins was working at the U.S. Public Health Service in Washington, DC in the 1960s. He got word that the federal government was planning on giving men shots that were filled with the potentially deadly disease. They were told that they had "bad blood" and they were going to get treatment.
The men of Macon County, Alabama were stricken with syphilis. They contracted brain damage, paralysis, blindness and death. When they had sex with their wives and girlfriends, they got it too.
When their women got pregnant, the children would obtain it too.
Examples of syphilis untreated.
Jenkins overheard a conversation between two top level workers and decided to blow a whistle on it.
He spent the rest of his career fighting racism in the U.S. healthcare system, working for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the early days of the AIDS crisis, and overseeing the government benefits program for survivors of the Tuskegee experiments.
The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male was an infamous and unethical clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service.
The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis; the African-American men in the study were told they were receiving free health care from the United States government.
The Public Health Service started working on this study in 1932 in collaboration with Tuskegee University, a historically black college in Alabama. Investigators enrolled in the study a total of 600 impoverished, African-American sharecroppers from Macon County, Alabama. Of these men, 399 had previously contracted syphilis before the study began, and 201 did not have the disease.
The men were given free medical care, meals, and free burial insurance for participating in the study. The men were told that the study was only going to last six months, but it actually lasted 40 years.
After funding for treatment was lost, the study was continued without informing the men that they would never be treated. None of the men were told that they had the disease, and none were treated with penicillin even after the antibiotic was proven to successfully treat syphilis. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the men were told that they were being treated for "bad blood", a colloquialism that described various conditions such as syphilis, anemia, and fatigue. "Bad blood"—specifically the collection of illnesses the term included—was a leading cause of death within the southern African-American community.
Jenkins leaves behind a wife Diane Rowley and daughter Danielle Rowley-Jenkins.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). The primary stage classically presents with a single chancre (a firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration) but there may be multiple sores. In secondary syphilis, a diffuse rash occurs, which frequently involves the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. There may also be sores in the mouth or vagina. In latent syphilis, which can last for years, there are few or no symptoms. In tertiary syphilis, there are gummas (soft, non-cancerous growths), neurological, or heart symptoms. Syphilis has been known as "the great imitator" as it may cause symptoms similar to many other diseases.
Syphilis is most commonly spread through sexual activity. It may also be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy or at birth, resulting in congenital syphilis. Other diseases caused by the Treponema bacteria include yaws (subspecies pertenue), pinta (subspecies carateum), and nonvenereal endemic syphilis (subspecies endemicum). These three diseases are not typically sexually transmitted. Diagnosis is usually made by using blood tests; the bacteria can also be detected using dark field microscopy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.) recommend all pregnant women be tested.
The risk of sexual transmission of syphilis can be reduced by using a latex condom.
Syphilis can be effectively treated with antibiotics. The preferred antibiotic for most cases is benzathine benzylpenicillin injected into a muscle. In those who have a severe penicillin allergy, doxycycline or tetracycline may be used. In those with neurosyphilis, intravenous benzylpenicillin or ceftriaxone is recommended. During treatment people may develop fever, headache, and muscle pains, a reaction known as Jarisch-Herxheimer.
In 2015, about 45.4 million people were infected with syphilis, with 6 million new cases.
During 2015, it caused about 107,000 deaths, down from 202,000 in 1990.
After decreasing dramatically with the availability of penicillin in the 1940s, rates of infection have increased since the turn of the millennium in many countries, often in combination with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
This is believed to be partly due to increased promiscuity, prostitution, decreasing use of condoms, and unsafe sexual practices among men who have sex with men
This is a disgusting depiction of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). This was done by a far-white cartoonist named Ben Garrison. He still is allowed to promote this bullshit on social media. We should hold social media accountable.
Ben Garrison is the resident cartoonist for the far-white. He is an infamous troll who lives in Big Sky Country drawing his GrrGraphics. In his cartoons, he makes Donald J. Trump, a 280 lb man at 6'1'', a hunky golden hair superhero, while he draws Barack Obama, 210 lb at 6'2'' as a timid, inept, big ear twerp.
Garrison is a racist editorial cartoonist from Montana whose stated goal is "to help raise awareness of the drift toward tyranny".He is a self-described libertarian, although his cartoons tend to contain a strong paleoconservative and alt-white streak as well. While his work demonstrates numerous conspiracy theories and much pseudoscience, it also reveals that he is a very skilled and talented illustrator; his comics are commonly featured on far-white websites.
He often gets plugs on Breitbart and Infowars.
Since 2018, his wife Tina has occasionally also been drawing cartoons with a "TinaToon" signature. One of her comics was retweeted by Donald Trump.
His cartoons often lionize conservative figures and right wing politicians.
You may have remembered some years ago, I have posted about this guy.
This guy is a controversial figure who draws horrible caricatures of individuals who go after Trump.
As RationalWiki explained it best, this turd draws Trump like he's a demi-god. As with all political cartoonists, it is very easy to tell whom Garrison is sympathetic towards in his cartoons, as they will likely be the only ones who aren't drawn really really ugly. Trump in particular is unsurprisingly depicted very positively — bold, handsome, even bulky — in many of his illustrations.
Trump is an overweight, balding, 72 year old man who has a history of predatory behavior.
This is a taste of the hateful nonsense that you find on those 4chan, 8chan and reddit pages.
So here's my question to you?
Should social media shut down Ben Garrison and his racist comics? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)
Should we demand Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram put an end to hateful bigots like Garrison?
Study the face of this guy, you're going to see more of him during the 2020 election. It's up to us to throw his dirty ass back the cesspool of right wing nonsense.
Old fart says he misses the good ol' days when the Klan was running the streets. Owner of the Alabama publication fired its chief editor out of the cannon after he was calling for the Klan to make a huge comeback.
Linden, Alabama's The Democrat-Reporter has told Goodloe Sutton to find the door.
The old fart said on his way out, "I can drink beer and chase women now. They can't run too fast, or I can't catch them."
The old fart said that in an editorial post, "[The] Klan need to ride again."
The Klan still around.
"Time for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again. Democrats in the the Republican Party and Democrats are plotting to raise taxes in Alabama. They do not understand how to eliminate expenses when money is need in other areas. The socialist-communist ideology sounds good to the ignorant, the uneducated, and the simple-minded people."
He added, "People who do not understand the Constitution do not like to be responsible. Slaves, just freed after the civil war were not stupid. At times, they borrowed from their former masters' robes and horses and rode through the night to frighten some evil doer. Sometimes they had to kill one or two of them, but so what."
The old fart was unrelenting. He made up some pseudo-history about how the elites are destroying traditional family values.
A black woman has to clean up the ugly.
"This is the same so what used when Democrats got us into World War I and World War II. Then they got us fighting in Korea. Next when the industrial northeast wanted more money, they got us in the Vietnam war, now into the Middle East war. If you haven't noticed, they did anyway with the draft so their sons would not have to go into battle. Seems like the Klan would be welcome to raid the gated communities now. Truly, they are the ruling class."
This old fart had a history of making racially and ethnically remarks in his editorials.
They replaced him with a Black woman who is willing to make the newspaper, "everybody's paper."
Elecia Dexter will now take over the newspaper. She condemned the former editor's remarks about lynchings being daily routine to clean up towns.
A change for the better, I guess.
The Ku Klux Klan was founded by veterans of the Confederacy. It was a white fraternity group before it became a mainstream hate group. In the earliest 20th Century, the Klan had nearly 5 million people. By the 1950s and 60s, the last major reassurance of the Klan was during the civil rights fight.
The Klan recruited lawmen, politicians, judges and random white boys to do the dirty work. Many people died when they took those dangerous drives in the South. Martin Luther King, Jr. and many in the civil rights movement were considered enemies of the Klan.
Spike Lee won his first Oscar. He also made the news calling for people to get out to vote.
Finally Spike Lee gets his Oscar. After 30 years of being snubbed, Lee finally get his moment.
Spike Lee got under the right's skin. After accepting an Academy Award for the movie BlacKkKlansman, the movie director hit at Donald J. Trump.
The award for Best Adapted Screenplay went to the controversial documentary about a Colorado Springs detective becoming an unlikely friend to the Klan. The movie has John David Washington, Adam Driver and Topher Grace.
Grace portrays former Klan leader and white extremist David Duke.
Lee went to stage and leaped into presenter Samuel L. Jackson to a thunderous applause.
While accepting the award, Lee was not mincing words about the movie being snubbed by Green Book.
"I'm snakebitten. I mean, every time somebody is driving somebody, I lose. But they change the seating arrangement. But, in '89 I didn't get nominated, so this one we did."
Spike Lee embraces Samuel L Jackson.
The movie Do The Right Thing lost to Driving Miss Daisy.
While he didn't mention Trump by name, the film director said some pointed words.
"Before the world tonight, I give praise to my ancestors who built our country, along with the genocide of our native people," he continued. "We all connect with ancestors, to regain our humanity. It will be a powerful moment. The 2020 presidential election is around the corner. Let's all mobilize. Let's all be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate. 'Let's do the right thing!'
Do you believe Spike Lee's speech was racist? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)
Trump was not happy about the acceptance speech.
Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!
Cold welcome in Milwaukee. Ja Rule ridiculed for his NBA halftime performance.
Rapper Ja Rule officially became a has been. He was the performer at the Milwaukee Bucks game and let's just say, that 50 Cent is going to troll the hell out of him.
Ever since the documentary detailing Ja Rule's role in the disastrous Frye Festival, many people have distanced themselves from the hip-hop star.
Ja Rule performed his greatest hits at the Fiserv Forum.
"They said this is 90s night so they brought out a 2000s artist," Rule said.
He then tried to hit a beat drop into the beginning of the set.
"We ready? Are we ready!?" Ja Rule said. A little bit of cheers but nothing spectacular. Then Ja said in jest, "I guess not!"
Ja Rule was not fazed by his disastrous performance. He actually mocked the idea he was given a cold shoulder.
You just jinx yourself talking to the GOD this way... your CURSED NOW!!! You won’t win a championship for the next 30 years... AND KAT IS LEAVING!!! Apologize and I’ll lift the CURSE!!! 😘 kiss of death... https://t.co/RzUn4vKx2Y
Ja Rule's been subjected to a lot of ridicule after both Netflix and Hulu dropped heavily hyped Fyre Festival documentaries last month, so Twitter was eager to mock him once again.
Ja Rule is born Jeffrey Atkins. He was born on February 29, 1976. He is one of the few people in the world that has a birthday on Leap Day. He was signed to Murder, Inc. Records and Def Jam during the 2000s. He left Def Jam in 2004 after his record sales dropped. He was engaged with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson who rose to fame in 2003 with his relentless diss tracks about Ja and his old manager Irv Gotti.
Roger Stone was told to shut the fuck up. He was ordered to not speak to the junk food media about his upcoming trial.
Roger Stone won't be appearing in the junk food media. He was stripped of his right to speak on his impending trial.
No more appearances on Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival. No appearances on Ari Melber. No appearances on Newsmax. No appearances on InfoWars with Alex Jones. No appearances on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN and other outlets.
He was given a hard line from federal judge Amy Berman Jackson. She gave him a 85% gag order.
He shared a disturbing picture of the federal judge with crosshairs in the background.
She ordered him to appear in federal court this week to explain the reason to why he would post a picture of her near crosshairs.
Stone's social media post gives the impression that he threatened a federal judge.
He had no answer and repeatedly apologized for the act.
The federal judge was not playing with him. She told him to stop talking about the case. This meant not only he was to stay quiet but he will no longer mention his case while on television, radio and social media.
He was close to losing his internet privileges and be sent to federal time out.
If she and her allies keep this up, U.S. Capitol Police will start investigations into her.
Another pathetic attempt at getting attention.
Laura Loomer, the alt-white troll who was banned from just about most of her social media platforms is desperately trying to make a buck. So in order to keep the kookspiracy going, she hired Jacob Wahl and Ali Alexander to find a way to infiltrate the offices of Minnesota lawmaker Ilhan Omar.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is a Somali-American lawmaker who is one of the first Muslim women to represent the House of Representatives. She along with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are the three Muslim lawmakers in the House.
Jacob Wohl and Laura Loomer are trying to infiltrate U.S. lawmakers Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tliab. They will eventually be on a watch list if the U.S, Capitol Police deem them as a threat.
Loomer, Wahl and Ali are trying to bring a story about Omar to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
They have refused to take up their reporting.
So on Periscope, the three complain about how the junk food media laughs at them.
Tony Webster captures all the evidence for Omar to press charges against Loomer.
Republican strategist says there's been “a lot of chatter” that Minneapolis Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins might replace Rep. Ilhan Omar in Congress -- Jenkins responds: https://t.co/QUhIy9b8ys

If you're wondering who Laura Loomer is, I'll let this clip—from later in the Periscope video—speak for itself. (As you can imagine, the replies are even worse.) pic.twitter.com/iRch5k8vGt
Jacob Wohl and Laura Loomer say in Minneapolis Periscope video “the Islamist forces here have taken over” parts of law enforcement, and that “Sharia Police” enforce Sharia Law. (Fact check: nope.) pic.twitter.com/xboODxrZSP
Donations to Jacob Wohl's “investigation” of Rep. Ilhan Omar go to “Cystra Ventures Ltd. Co.” I pulled the docs—LLC created 3 weeks ago, organizer: Daniel Bostic. LinkedIn says he's a director at Culttture, which has been described as “a new TMZ-of-sorts for the pro-Trump crowd.” pic.twitter.com/hVivpjA4ma
In Wohl/Loomer/Alexander livestream, they say it was $8,000 to buy plane tickets to Minneapolis, and now ‘a lesbian’ outed that they're staying at a Dinkytown apartment, and were told to leave. They say they're staying, despite being afraid antifa or jihadists will behead them.
Someone at the Star Tribune told me the Wohl/Loomer group had no ‘security detail’ or ‘film crew’ that they could see, but there was a guy with a handheld camera. They allegedly wanted to give “evidence” on Rep. Omar to a reporter. https://t.co/J59K1IWJtR
This is now the third Periscope clip where Jacob Wohl, Laura Loomer, and Ali Alexander reference having a large team—you just can't see them in frame. pic.twitter.com/Z6WQhOdfVy
This morning Jacob Wohl—still in Minneapolis—posted on Periscope, asking for more money, saying he has a security team (“veterans” and “military professionals”), drivers, protected cars. In the replies, people say: show the security, show the cars, and he refuses. pic.twitter.com/QFiyU8VusS
In another Periscope video, Ali Alexander (with Laura Loomer and Jacob Wohl) says they need “money, money, money, money, money, and then prayer”. pic.twitter.com/KA8XeSrKXV
An anonymous account just sent me some sinister and vaguely threatening DMs regarding my dog, referencing my tweets about Jacob Wohl. It included very specific details that only my doggy daycare would know. Then they blocked me.
I have no sympathy for this woman. She is mentally ill. She is a has been trying to be a "been."
Beautiful women of color represent the Midwest. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tliab (D-MI).
She wants to cry she's a Jew every time she gets caught up in a scandal.
If you want to protest lawmakers, that's fine. But what's she is doing is pretty dangerous.
Last week, the FBI and U.S. Coast Guard arrested a man who held white extremist views. He was a former U.S. Coast Guard who is classified a domestic terrorist. He was planning on attacking prominent lawmakers like Omar.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has long complained about how the far-white and conservative agitators make it more dangerous for her and fellow colleagues. The Daily Mail published the location where the lawmaker was taking up residence.
It's about time for U.S. Capitol Police to place red flag notices on those who have a history of harassment. Loomer and Wahl are close to being in that category.
Willie Bo (aka Willy McCoy) was killed by the law after he took a nap in the drive thru lane of Taco Bell in Vallejo, California.
It doesn't stop. Sometimes you wonder if the law even cares about us!
Willie Bo had a future in the music. It was tragically taken away by a bunch of cops scared for their lives.
BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Willie McCoy was a 20 year old man who wanted to be an inspiring rapper. He was shot and killed while he was sleeping inside his vehicle. The rapper was shot 25 times in Villejo Police.
The death of this young man was shot in the throat, face, arm and it appears that bullet blew off part of his ear.
Shocking video footage emerged in the aftermath of Willie McCoy's death showing cops surrounding his car before his opening hire.
McCoy's cousin, David Harrison, shared a video on Facebook following the shooting.
"You can't just keep killing us in the street like this," Harrison said. "My cousin was asleep in the care and they shot him...20...times."
The video footage hasn't been released. The bag 'em ups haven't address it.
McCoy, who was a part of the rap group FBG, had fallen asleep inside his vehicle and workers at a local Taco Bell called the law urging a welfare check on him.
McCoy was armed at the time but didn't shot or attempt to shot at the cops.
Willie Bo's life mattered.
The law and junk food media is trying to make the case for his death. McCoy was in a silver Mercedes blocking other vehicles in the drive thru lane.
Two cops arrived at the Taco Bell and approached the vehicle. They spooked McCoy who had a firearm in his lap. The law then would put the work in. Obviously, McCoy knew he lived in a city that was considered dangerous and he was worried someone was trying to jack him.
The cops shocking a man asleep was pretty reckless. But the cops claimed they "feared for their lives." A bullshit excuse. Cops know the risk of approaching sleeping motorists.
Seconds before opening fire, a cop can be heard yelling at McCoy but his remarks are not audible in the footage.
After the gunfire stopped, there was more yelling as the cops shouted repeatedly for the man to put his hands up.
The cops opened the door and saw McCoy fall right out the seat.
Six cops were involved in this massacre of an innocent life.
Trump's good buddy Robert Kraft caught up in a sex scandal. The Patriots owner is being charged for promoting and engaging in prostitution.
Shocking news in the sports world. The owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft is caught up in a sex scandal that could become a federal case. He is being right now charged in misdemeanor prostitution charges but the state and feds could bump those charges if they found significant evidence that he was bankrolling on the women.
Kraft, 77, is accused of paying for sexual acts at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, located about 90 miles north of Miami. His name was among more than a dozen who were charged.
Trump's buddies are facing scandals.
Police said they have Kraft, and others, on video receiving the sexual acts and that he participated in prostitution in Florida two separate times.
The spa had been shut down after a months-long investigation revealed women were participating in “sexual servitude,” TC Palm reported, citing arrest records. Nine other spas in Orlando, Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast had also been shut down as part of the investigation.
Police said the suspects paid between $59 and $79 for services.
Authorities said they handed the case over to the state’s attorney’s office and they were working on an active warrant for Kraft’s arrest.
"We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity," a Patriots spokesperson said in a statement. "Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further."
The NFL added: "The NFL is aware of the ongoing law enforcement matter and will continue to monitor developments."
Kraft, who is reportedly worth $6 billion, founded International Forest Products in 1972 and helped it become one of the top importer/exporter company by the late 90s. He also invested in New England Television Corp. in 1982 and later unloaded his shares for around $25 million, the Boston Globe reported.
Kraft married Myra Nathalie Hiatt in 1963. She later died of ovarian cancer in July 2011.
About a year later, he had reportedly been dating 39-year-old actress Ricki Noel Lander. The woman gave birth to a child in 2017 and reports swirled over whether Kraft was the father. He had denied the accusation, according to People.
Kraft’s Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl championship. He owns a home in nearby Palm Beach.
If you're a fan of the Monkees, guess you're mourning the passing of Peter Tork, the famed keyboardist, bass guitarist of the group.
He passed away yesterday of cancer and the country is mourning his passing.
Tork was born in Washington, DC to Virginia Hope and Halsten John Thorkelson. His real name Peter Halsten Thorkelson. He auditioned for a part of a television series that dealt with four pop-rock musicians but was turned down when the producers thought his image could damage the brand.
Tork auditioned again and got the job as the founding member of the Monkees.
Tork was the oldest member of the group.
Tork's death was announced on his official Facebook page on Thursday, attributed to his friends, family and colleagues.
"It is with beyond-heavy and broken hearts that we share the devastating news that our friend, mentor, teacher, and amazing soul, Peter Tork, has passed from this world," the post read. "As we have mentioned in the past, the PTFB team is made up of Peter's friends, family and colleagues -- we ask for your kindness and understanding in allowing us to grieve this huge loss privately."
It went on to state: "We want to thank each and every one of you for your love, dedication and support of our 'boss.' Having you in our world has meant so very much to all of us.
Please know that Peter was extremely appreciative of you, his Torkees, and one of his deepest joys was to be out in front of you, playing his music, and seeing you enjoy what he had to share. We send blessings and thoughts of comfort to you all, with much gratitude."
Tork played bass and keyboard for the popular band known for hits like "Daydream Believer" and "I'm a Believer."
A cause of death was not specified, but Tork wrote about being diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma in his tongue for the Washington Post in 2009.
"I don't count myself as being afraid to die, but the news hit me like a fist to the chest," Tork wrote.
The Monkees were popular in the 1960s.
The Monkees came together for their comedy television show of the same name, which ran on NBC from 1966 to 1968. The series followed the adventures of Tork and his three fellow bandmates, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith.
"There are no words right now...heart broken over the loss of my Monkee brother, Peter Tork," Dolenz wrote in a tweet Thursday.
Tork left the band shortly after the release of the group's 1968 movie, "Head," and tried to strike out on his own with a band called "Release." He later worked as a high school teacher.
Jones died in 2012 but the remaining band members reunited for reunion tours until 2016. Tork also recorded several solo albums, including "Step By Step" in 2013 and "Relax Your Mind," which released last year.
"This is not a band," Tork once told the UK's Telegraph in 2016. "It's an entertainment operation whose function is Monkee music," he told Britain's Telegraph newspaper during a Monkees' tour in 2016. "It took me a while to get to grips with that but what great music it turned out to be! And what a wild and wonderful trip it has taken us on!"
Offset, of the rap group The Migos just made up with his estranged wife Cardi B. It seems like the two worked out their differences and decided to keep the family together.
This morning, the entertainer dropped his debut solo album, Father of 4 on Quality Control, Motown and Capitol Records.
The album has guest appearances from Quavo (of the Migos), Gucci Mane, J. Cole, Big Rube, Cee-Lo, Travis Scott, Gunna, Cardi B and 21 Savage.
The album has production from the usual ttrap talents. Metro Boomin, Sizzle Southside, Cubeatz, Doughboy, Dre Moon, Pyrex, BLWYRMND and Ritter contribute to the album.
The rapper had announced his album with a documentary teaser which showed a scene with his wife, rapper/singer/model Cardi B. It shows the moment she gave birth to their daughter Kulture.
Offset apologized to Cardi B. He promised that he won't cheat on her again. Do I want to believe him? Uh, maybe.
He gave a special shoutout to Southside and Metro Boomin. The two have collaborated on albums for The Migos, Gucci Mane, Future, 21 Savage, Gunna, Rich Homie Quan, Young Thug, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B and others.
Offset is hoping to put aside all the controversy he brought to Cardi B last year.
He was accused of rampant cheating. He announced that he will seek counselling and try to live a health life outside them THOTS.
Good luck to Offset. I hope he gets his shit together. Anyway, peep his video.
