Is Acting Stupid A Hobby? [NSFW]

A California transgender woman opens mouthwash, gargles it and spits it back into the bottle before putting it back on the shelf. The folks want this ass charged with a crime.
Part II

Another You Can't Fix Stupid story.


This California transgender woman named Bameron Nicole Smith decides to open up a bottle of mouthwash, gargles it and then spits it back into the bottle before putting it up.

The bottle of Listerine was place back on the shelf and the prankster said it best, "It has been one musty fucking morning."

The prank went viral and Walmart wasn't pleased about it.

Some viewers suggested that it was staged but some called it a blatant act of vandalism and call for criminal charges. While in the last posting, the Lufkin, Texas police are in the process of arresting a woman for licking an ice cream and placing it back into a Walmart freezer, the San Jose Police and the Santa Clara County Boys are aware of the video.

The prankster said after placing the bottle back on the shelf, "Mmmm....nice and minty and fresh."



The prankster waved at the camera and ran down the aisles.

Many believe that this trend is becoming a norm.

Folks who are literally opening up products, consuming or playing with them and then placing them back on the shelves.

Not only that could be considered disgusting but dangerous.

If Walmart decides to press charges against the prankster, she will face vandalism, theft of product, contamination of product, shoplifting of product and tampering with consumer product. The charges could be misdemeanors or felonies in the state of California.

It could land at least year or two in the the iron college.

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

The prankster's friend was also caught on camera as well. He opened up a Walgreen's freezer, opened up an ice cream tub, placed his fingers in it and ate some. The person filmed tasted the ice cream too.


The prankster then tossed the ice cream back in the freezer and bolted through the aisles.

Those antics could get them banned from Walmart and Walgreen's. The two will have to pay for the damaged products, they will have to take sexually transmitted disease tests, go to food safety and food poisoning classes and formally apologize to the community.

This is the type of stuff that makes our country doomed.

Please folks. Don't do anything that could be harmful to your employer, your job search, your social life, your reputation and your life.

Facing Stupid From A Different Angle! [NSFW]

Texas woman caught on camera licking a tub of ice cream and throwing back into a freezer at a local Walmart. She became an international pariah.
Part I.

It's another edition of You Can't Fix Stupid.


Anytime a person decides to do something stupid when it comes to food, animals and vehicles, you expect these incidents to go viral. Sometimes these stupid stories are often regarded as legal matters as well.

It always hurts to see people of color caught in these stories. We live in a society where the far-white and Donald J. Trump are working hard to secure their place. The status quo is changing and Trump along with Republicans are duly working to destroy diversity itself.

Folks like Colin Flaherty take joy in covering stories like this. That white extremist relishes on Black on whatever crimes. He would find happiness in this because he would love to exploit this for his racialist agenda.

A Texas woman is under fire for doing a stunt that cost thousands of dollars in destroyed product.

The woman who was filmed licking ice cream from a tub of Blue Bell and putting it back in a Walmart freezer is facing possible time in the iron college for the stunt.

The Lufkin Police department found out that the woman resides in San Antonio and they are determined to drag her back to face charges of tampering with a consumer product, vandalism and theft.





The law believe that woman is a juvenile and her boyfriend made her do it. He lives in the community with his family.

Both the woman and her boyfriend, who filmed the stunt were said to be forthcoming and cooperative with police, telling them what occurred and admitting to the act.

The charges could be bumped to adult court and it could put her in the iron college from two to 20 years and a hefty fine if convicted.

The charges also means that the woman and her boyfriend will be forced to pay for the damages of the loss product, they will likely be banned from shopping at Walmart, they will be forced to take sexually transmitted disease tests and learn the dangers of food poisoning.

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

She will likely face scrutiny at home. Where she will have trouble finding a job. She likely won't be hired at Walmart. Her career highlights will be caught on camera licking a product she didn't purchase.

Where did she learn this from?

Oh never mind.....It's an epidemic in the United States.

Conservative Outrage Over The Little Mermaid Being Black!

Far-white mad that a young woman of color is cast to play Ariel in the Disney live-action movie The Little Mermaid.
Jay-Z said it best, "Why are all the pretty icons always are white?

Disney is making a live action version of The Little Mermaid and many on the far-white are outraged that a Black actress was chosen to play the role of Ariel.

The animated movie and television series featured a red head mermaid named Ariel and her sea friends Sebastian and Flounder. They had to face off against the evil sea witch named Ursula.

The actress playing the role of Ariel is named Halle Bailey (not Hallie Berry).

Bailey respond on her social media which she shares with her sister Chloe Bailey.


Those far-white websites are filled with -mania. There are sites on Google that guide people to these websites. The company Alphabet is still actively allowing far-white extremists to infiltrate their products. Blogger is a product of Google, an Alphabet company.

Popping on social media is themes like "Make Ariel White Again" which is direct insult towards Bailey and Modern Family actress Ariel Winter.

The offensive group was created on July 3 the moment that Bailey was cast to play the role.
Halle Bailey is honored to be Ariel. She dismissed the backlash.
Some of the posts were transphobic, racist, and sexist. The old themes of stereotyping Black people with big lips, chicken drumsticks and watermelon were also posted on social media.

The offensive group was created a GoFundMe page with the image of Winter.

The group's bio said, "Are you tired of people washing out the great traditions of white princess of color? Do you feel that they should keep everything the way that it is? Then join us! We are here to make Ariel white again!

The group had hundreds of members and it was gathering steam before Facebook shut that shit down.

Again, Facebook is a beacon of racism. The far-white are claiming that their "freedom of speech" is squashed. So they are counting on Donald J. Trump to intervene. Trump himself believes that the big tech companies are silencing conservatives.

Private companies that have the power to motivate voters. Facebook has been under fire since the Cambridge Analytica scandal in which Breitbart, Russian bots and trolls managed to sway voters from Hillary Clinton to Trump.

Facebook has allowed far-white agitators and trolls create fake profiles and groups to intimidate individuals.

I was a victim of this crap. I had a far-white troll create phony profiles of me and I am still trying to get this shit removed every fucking day.

The trolls are motivated to attack women of color. We need to fight back.

Remember the blog, Racists Getting Fired. If we can revive that website again......but this time, we go after them and their families. Racists are working at your job, the police force, the government agencies, the schools and the junk food media.

Trump has enabled them to be themselves. We need to make racists afraid again.

Next posting will talk about the DC Free Speech Rally which is a far-right event. The Washington DC Metro Police are working overtime to prevent rioting.

Update: Here's a far-right response.

Blogger JPrimus said...
I have seen absolutely ZERO "outrage" about this from conservatives. The only outrage I have seen is at the politically narrative-driven notion that there is outrage about a black "Little Mermaid."

This is what white men do.

This was the most recent remarks left on our blog.

I don't know where he's getting his "facts" from, but I am not going to address them. I'm just going to leave the very remarks from the last posting as our answer.

This troll responded with this bullshit. I said the truth. Far-white extremists would often troll Black blogs and social media to throw inappropriate discussions about how white women should avoid relationships with people of color. They want characters of the past to be white. It's the end of the fucking world if one day a character of color is portrayed as the star. They would use racial slurs, coded language and concern trolling as an excuse to justify their hatred. Conservatives are truly a bunch of racist folks. They have no shame in being who they are. They think it's cool to be "conservative." Yeah, tell us what's cool about being a fucking racist?

Sigh.

50 Cent Burns Down The Unit!

The Unit is broken up again. 50 Cent dissolves the group.
It's official, the Unit is broken up (again)!

G-Unit is a group founded by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and rode to fame after he released the classic Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

50 Cent said there's no need for the group. He's tired of them all. That's just not Young Buck.



He's took aim at Buck, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and even The Game. The group was huge back in the early 2000s when 50 Cent rose to fame.


The founding members were 50, Banks and Yayo. Buck would join the group after a brief stint with Cash Money and later Juvenile's UTP Click. Game would join the group after he was signed through Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records.
Lloyd Banks left the Unit. Young Buck, Tony Yayo and Kidd Kidd are still trapped on the label.
Game was fired out the cannon after 50 got upset that his sophomore album was pushed back to make way for the upstart's debut. 50 and Game had decade long feud. Game released numerous disses going after the rapper and the group. The two ended the feud in 2017.

Buck was fired out the cannon after the rapper was making comments about not getting paid. 50 got to trolling the rapper by recording his tearful apology about being fired from the group. Buck rejoined the group in 2014 and left again after he was mercilessly trolled by 50 for allegedly having a tryst with Glamour Perfekk, a transgender model and singer.

In a comment, 50 Cent has clarified who the post is directed at. "Do you realize G-Unit did 5 shows together without me?" he revealed. "in 16 years, every time you saw them together it was my show. Now that's a big bag they fucked up."
The Game was the let go from G-Unit.
He also replied to a comment in which someone wrote that "Banks would have went far far in the game."

"You don't know the boy, he is doing what he do best right now. LOL," he said.

50 is getting flack for homophobia and transphobia.

Recently, Lil Nas X came out and the rapper decided to troll him as well as Buck by posting on Instagram


Hip-hop music is still the last bastard of hate. Black entertainers who want to be "gangsta" continue to promote homophobia and sexism in their lyrics. It's going to be a backlash if they continue to follow the status quo.

Sunscreen!

Salute to America wrapped up. Measly amount of jobs added. 
The hiring for the month of June landed 224,000 jobs. Mind you that last month was adjusted and I expect this will be as well. In a country with 335.8 million folks there are 224,000 jobs split between 50 states, the District of Columbia and the five U.S. territories. What area got the necessary jobs?

Obviously Dayton, Ohio where I reside has not seen any jobs since the tornado. Matter of fact, there had to be nearly 2,000 people out of jobs in this community alone due to the destructive tornadoes of May 2019.

Then of course, you had a major earthquake in California.

There are major floods in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois.

We had mass shootings everyday in the United States.

Congress hasn't pass anything memorable. With Democrats in control of the House of Representatives and the Republicans in control of the Senate, nothing much is getting done.

Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky senator is the most unpopular lawmaker in the country. But one would have you believe that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the most unpopular. She is a freshman lawmaker who is in the news frequently. McConnell is never in the news but is considered by most to be the most inept leader in the country besides Donald J. Trump.

There are 25 candidates running for the Democratic nomination. No candidate has emerged as a viable candidate to take on Trump. Even if the junk food media keeps talking about Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, they have no clear vision to improve an economy that is stable (for the time being).

We have a trade war between China and the United States where it's placing higher fees on stuff bought here. It's unfortunate that our products are getting expensive.

Employers added the jobs in June, the Labor Department reported on Friday. Economists had expected a gain of 170,000. So I am guessing they inflated the number to give Trump something to brag about.

Trump didn't brag about the dismal jobs report last month.

While he posted from two shady websites, the actual amount of jobs created in Trump's economy is 1.5 million jobs so far.

The unemployment rate did tick up to 3.7%, up from 3.6% in May.

Average earnings rose 6 cents an hour from May and are up 3.1% over the past year.

Fears of an economic recession are easing a bit. Many said that this record-setting economic expansion could be running out steam.

The New York Times had reported that unemployment is near a five-decade law, wage growth is solid and employers have added jobs for 105 consecutive months, easily a record.

There are 115 million inactive workers in the United States.

Many economists are saying that a recession is coming.

Those die-hard Trump supporters will say that his leadership is successful. All the while, they find that their average wages are stalling. Many of these Trump supporters probably lost their jobs. Some are probably losing their homes due to flooding, wildfires and foreclosure.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen over the past year.

Real Reason To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is!

1. DEAD

2. BORN

3. IN PRISON

4. IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

5. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

6. IN HIGH SCHOOL

7. IN COLLEGE NOT LOOKING

8. VOLUNTEER

9. DISABLED 

10. STAY AT HOME PARENT

11. RETIRED

12. QUIT ON THEIR OWN

13. NOT HIRING QUALIFIED

14. NATURAL DISASTERS

15. ACTIVE MILITARY 

16. NOT HIRING TOO QUALIFIED

17. LAID OFF

18. FIRED FROM THE JOB

19. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY

20. OUTSOURCING

21. IMMIGRANTS TOO AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED BY I.C.E.

22. SHAMED BY SOCIAL MEDIA

Let me remind you, that Trump and Republicans believe austerity is the key to a strong economy and job market. The Republicans are not in control of the House of Representatives. The Democrats now control the House and will push for an agenda that Trump will likely oppose. Republicans in the Senate will continue to pass ridiculous laws that hurt the working class and middle class. They are already streamlining federal judges that could rollback years of progress.

The inept Senate leadership of Mitch McConnell is being ignored. He is leading our country into the abyss. Trump and Republicans believe that trickle down economics (i.e. free market capitalism) is helping Americans. Really, it's making people work harder and we're not seeing the benefits of it.

We are not happy with the incentives companies provide.

With them trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, many of Trump's die hard supporters are going to get a culture shock when they find out their health coverage from their employer terminated it because they are no longer forced to provide it. Or they'll keep hours lower to keep people from obtaining health insurance.

The Jobs and Tax Cut Act has added trillions of dollars of debt to the economy. The results of the tax cuts haven't produced the stability. It's still considered a very unpopular law.

Trump is destroying the economy. I won't say anything positive about him. Regardless of what happens, this is short-term success.

Scorned Woman Tips The Waitress A Hefty One!

American woman deliberately scorns boyfriend by tipping a server a hefty sum on his credit card.
Ah, Florida.

I swear to god, I am never going to understand why Florida is often the state where stupid folks reside. I always wanted to live in Tampa. The city is within 15 miles of the Gulf of Mexico and its beautiful beaches. I am not a sandal or flip-flop type of person, but if I have to live in Florida, I might want to buy a pair.

A woman is facing grand theft by deception for allegedly tipping a server $5,000 as a tip on her former boyfriend's credit card. It happened in the nearby city of Clearwater. Uh, remind me never to date this woman when if I ever decided to move to Florida.

I'm going to have to wait for the next 18 years at least until my son turns 21 and he has a future.

Should I name this person?

Nah, I am going to treat her like those who commit acts of violence.

The woman was reportedly upset over her boyfriend not buying her a ticket back home. He initially put a hold on the credit card to prevent it from being used to purchase a ticket. After a few weeks, he lifted it. She used it one day to buy some food at the Clear Sky Cafe.

The server was shocked that she got the tipped. The former boyfriend was shocked too.
Server thought the tip was a joke. She posted it on social media and it went viral. 
The woman initially denied she made the purchase but the boyfriend already got a call from the bank saying that a charge was made and he put a fraud watch on it. The restaurant paid the tip and it's still being disputed by the boyfriend.

The woman was then charged. The server might lose the tip because it's a part of a crime.

The server was going through a rough time. She lost her dog and was feeling really depressed. I guess the woman heard the story and decided to make her day. So she decided to throw that tip on a $60 tab.

The bill itself was $5055.37.

The suspect could face up to five years in the iron college. She will no longer have any contact with the victims. The restaurant will likely ban her service. The woman will have to relinquish her passport or financial records. They will force her to repay the amount in full plus court costs.

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

Black Couple Turns Away Contractor Who Flew The Loser Flag!

The contractor flew "stars and bars." The couple told the contractor to find someone else to work for.
The Georgia couple who posted on social media their respectful dismissal of a contractor is talking to the junk food media about their experience.

The contractor arrived in his truck with the Confederate flag waving on the back.

Allison and Zeke Brown got the surprise when the contractor decided to come to their home to work on fixing their golf cart. The couple saw this and kindly told the man that they no longer need his services and apologized.

"You know what? I do apologize," Allison Brown said. "I know you've come from a very long way, but we're going to use somebody else."

Zeke comes out and directly tells the contractor, "She's upset with the flag."

"No, I'm beyond upset with the flag," she sneered.

The contractor did respond in text to the couple saying that he didn't understand why they were offended by the flag. He talked to the junk food media about the viral video and said that they're overacting.
I'm sorry, we no longer need your service.
"My little siblings bought it from a flea market. I don't support slavery and neither do my siblings. But I am not going to take it down when my siblings asked to fly it. If [the family] wants to take offense, they can."

The Confederate flag and statues of former leaders are controversial. White extremists praise these symbols. They believe these things are historical and heritage. People of color believe these symbols and statues are signs of racism and the status quo.

Many states are removing statues of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, Nathan Bedford Forrest and other themes related toward the Confederacy.

Conservatives and white extremists have went to Charlottesville for their "Unite The Right" rally in which one woman was killed because of a terrorist driving his vehicle into her.

California Braided!


California becomes the first state in the nation to ban hairstyle discrimination.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into state law a ban on discrimination. This ban will eliminate employers from shunning potential recruits because of their hairstyle.

The Democratic governor personally signed on this legislation.

This state law will keep schools, workplaces and establishments from discriminating against people of color who wear hairstyles such as braids, twists and locks.

The state lawmaker who sponsored the bill was Holly Mitchell, a Democratic state senator from Los Angeles. She is a Black woman who wears her hear in locks and said that California should never discriminate against potential recruits because of their names, their communities and their hairstyles.
Gavin Newsom signs into law a ban on discriminating against hair styles. Women of color cannot be turned away from employers because they want to be natural or braided.
"We are changing the course of history, hopefully, across the country by acknowledging that what has been defined as professional hair styles and attire in the work place has historically been based on a Euro-centric model --- based on straight hair."

After a New Jersey teen was forced to cut his braids in order to wrestle, Mitchell decided she had enough of the discrimination. She said its time to allow hair to be free.

Brittany Noble, a qualified Black journalist and news anchor was fired out the cannon from Jackson, Mississippi television station WJTV (Nexstar Media).

She is currently suing Nexstar Media because she felt the company targeted her because of her race.

Noble felt that she was chastised for wearing her natural hair. She also filed a formal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

What a great day in the country.

California is the state that moves forward while Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka continues to stay in the status quo. The type of country that Tim Ryan wants our nation to be. The type of country that Justin Amash wants our nation to be. The type of nation that continues to allow white male privilege decide on who's qualified and who's not. If I decided to come into an employer in Ohio with an Afro or braids, would I be hired or turned away. Cause in the United States, hiring discrimination is still a big issue.

If a woman wears her hair in a natural Afrikan style, it should be praised. After all, you rather hire the person than their hairstyle.

Justin Amash: What A Time To Be Alive!

Lawmaker Justin Amash leaves the Republican Party because he's tired of Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell's incompetence.
Conservative lawmaker abandons the Republican Party. Sets himself up for a brutal fight between the Democrats who want his seat and the party who is scrambling to find a candidate to beat him.

Michigan's 3rd Congressional District is by far one of the safest seats for Republicans. It will be a difficult pickup for the Democrats. It will also be a challenge for the lawmaker currently holding the seat.

It also fuels rumors that the lawmaker may challenge that imbecile in a primary for president.

Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) has distanced himself from the Republican Party. He is officially leaving the Republican Party because of his party's shameless complicity to Donald J. Trump.

The 39-year old lawmaker is Palestinian American. His is a Christian.

Regarded as one of the most conservative members of the House of Representatives, the lawmaker had a huge fall out with fellow members over their refusal to hold Trump accountable for the actions stated in the Mueller report.

Amash was the sole Republican at the time to declare impeachment of this guy.

The Grand Rapids area lawmaker joins his fellow lawmaker Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in declaring that it's time to "impeach the motherfucker."

Showing that's he's more libertarian, he has became a vocal critic of Trump's reckless decisions.

Trump on the other hand was happy to see Amash go. He called him a total loser. Hours earlier, he tweeted on social media that "Aircraft One" was going to do a fly over. He recalled the tweet after he was mercilessly mocked.
In the Washington Post today, Amash made the decision to leave the party.

"Our politics is in a partisan death spiral. That's why I'm leaving the GOP. [The] mind-set among the political class that loyalty to party is more important than serving the American people or protecting our governing institutions."

He added, "When my dad was 16, America welcomed him as a Palestinian refugee. It wasn't easy moving to a new country, but it was the greatest blessing of his life."

The last lawmaker of recent time to become an independent was Rep. Gregario Sablan (I-MP). The lawmaker from the Northern Mariana Islands caucuses with the Democrats. He serves as a delegate.

There are 235 members of the Democratic Party along with three delegates and one independent delegate.

There are 197 members of the Republican Party with two delegates and one independent U.S. Representative.

Case Dismissed!

Marshae Jones was released from the county lockup. She was charged for the death of her own fetus after a violent encounter with a rival.
The American woman at the center of a national controversy involving her being charged with the death of her own fetus due to gun violence had her case dropped. Alabama prosecutors were pressured to drop the case. They couldn't muster enough evidence to determine the woman intentionally caused the death of her baby.

Outrage poured when Americans found out that gun violence victim, Marshae Jones was charged with involuntary manslaughter of a fetus. She was shot in the stomach by a rival over a man.

The woman who shot Jones was criminally charged and is facing up to LIFE in the iron college for this. The victim was charged by the Jefferson County prosecutor for this.

Police initially argued that she was culpable for the death of her fetus under Alabama state law, which grants personhood rights to fetuses for the purpose of homicide cases, because she allegedly instigated the fight with the shooter in December that led to her being shot. Prosecutors initially sought to try both women for the incident, but a grand jury determined that the woman shot in self defense and only indicted Jones — which quickly attracted outrage around the country.
Alabama woman had charges dropped after outcry.
The case against Jones began falling apart as soon as the indictment was handed down. Multiple legal experts argued that Alabama's personhood law does not, in fact, allow a woman to be prosecuted for her own miscarriage, and that fetal personhood can only justify homicide charges against the person who made the woman miscarry. Jones'lawyer also revealed that law enforcement barely spent any time questioning Jones, talking to her for only 15 minutes in the hospital before she was prosecuted.

"The District Attorney's decision will help Marshae continue to heal from this tragic event and work to rebuild her life in a positive and productive way. She moves forward with enormous gratitude for the support she and her family have received during this challenging time," said Jones' attorneys in a statement. "With the dismissal of charges, the community of support that surrounded Marshae can now channel its immense passion and energy toward ensuring that what happened to Marshae won't ever happen again."

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

 REPUBLICANS ARE FULLY ENGAGED IN A CULTURE WAR. DONALD J. TRUMP, CONSERVATIVES AND WHITE EXTREMISTS ARE WORKING HARD TO SECURE THEIR PLACE. THEY WILL PASS LEGISLATION AT THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL TO KEEP PEOPLE OF COLOR UNDER CONTROL.

ALABAMA'S PERSONHOOD LAW IS A TESTAMENT OF HOW FAR THE FAR-WHITE WILL GO TO CONTROL THE BODIES OF WOMEN.

Tanks!

Trump brought the tanks.
Donald J. Trump will use the U.S. military for a political rally and the junk food media is going to cover it. The Independence Day celebration in Washington will be controversial because Trump is using this as a rally call for Republicans to support his 2020 bid.

Trump promises the cost of this will be "very little compared to what it is worth."

The cost of the event is expensive. Military vehicles were moved in front of the Lincoln Memorial for Thursday event.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Telemundo will not show the event.

MSNBC might. C-SPAN and Fox News will cover the entire event.

Several military top leaders will not be attending this event. The Washington, DC airspace within 50 miles is going to be closed off.

So that means delays between Dulles International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Thurgood Marshall Baltimore-Washington International Airport and local airspace is off limits.

Trump will do his routine about how he and his kind love America and how he wants to win reelection. Those in attendance will likely be supporters of Trump. James Woods, Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) and others will probably be in attendance.

It's been nearly seven decades since a president spoke there on Independence Day. The U.S. was at war in Korea when Harry Truman addressed a large gathering on the Washington Monument grounds, marking the 175th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

There's no such historical marker Thursday for Trump, who for the past two years has sought a moment to orchestrate a display of America’s military prowess.

He's calling his event a "Salute to America," honoring the armed forces, and he'll speak at the Lincoln Memorial in front of a ticket-only, VIP crowd of Republican donors, administration and campaign officials, family members and those who flock to see him or protest what they see as a divisive intrusion on a traditionally unifying national holiday.

No Question!

U.S. Census will go as scheduled. Trump and his administration gave up on the fight.
Donald J. Trump has conceded that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the 2020 census.

"We can confirm that the decision has been made to print the 2020 Decennial Census questionnaire without a citizenship question, and that the printer has been instructed to begin the printing process," Kate Bailey, a Justice Department attorney, wrote to lawyers for the plaintiffs challenging the addition of the question.

The Court's 5-4 decision to hold the line on the U.S. Census question was a huge setback for Trump.

The Commerce secretary Wilbur Ross argued that if the question was added it could help the count.

Many civil rights activists and immigration lawyers believed it was a way to keep people of color from doing the census.

The U.S. Census determines how federal funding is appropriated. It also determines what state gains or loses Congressional representation. Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Louisiana will likely lose a seat. Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada will likely earn a new seat.

Gerrymandering keeps political parties in power for generations. The Court denied a request to have partisan gerrymandering voided.

2020 is an election year.

Trump has a five point advantage over the Democratic nominee. The junk food media says that imbecile could be defeated by a handful of candidates. That's not the case. They keep underestimating the power of stupid.

You can't fix stupid.

Trump has a 67% chance of winning reelection. We need to get an understanding of how to play like him when it comes to voting.

Fight dirty.
