Marianne Williamson Unplugs The Lamp!

The guru of talk isn't running. Marianne Williamson drops out the race for president.

The campaign is over for author/activist Marianne Williamson.

The longshot bid to become the Democratic nominee for president was quite interesting for Williamson, who is a known spiritual advisor. She had to lay off her entire staff but still continued on even though most people are moving away from her campaign.

In a post on her website, Williamson said, "We will not be able to garner enough votes in the election to elevate our conversation any more than it is now."

Williamson barely charted on the polls and struggled to gain traction in fundraising during the final months of 2019.

"I ran for president to help forge another direction for our country. I wanted to discuss things I felt needed to be discussed that otherwise were not. I feel that we have done that," she said in a post on her website. "I stayed in the race to take advantage of every possible effort to share our message."

She added, "The primaries might be tightly contested among the top contenders, and I don't want to get in the way of a progressive candidate winning any of them. As of today, therefore, I'm suspending my campaign."

Williamson, a onetime spiritual advisor to Oprah Winfrey whose only other bid for office was running for the 2014 California congressional primary made herself a name for her unorthodox methods to medicine.

Anyway, the next debate is a controversy. The junk food media is obsessed over the diversity of the candidates running. There will be five candidates on stage and they are white.

Again, the Democratic Party nominated and the American people elected Barack Obama to be President of the United States twice. I don't see the problem with the candidates.

I am tired of the junk food media focusing on race. Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard, Deval Patrick and Julian Castro didn't meet requirements. They didn't light a fire with the base. What more can the Democrats do?

I mean there's no stopping the momentum of the candidates that made it to the stage.

I highly believe that Donald J. Trump will win reelection but I do understand that Democrats need to win over voters who sat out this election. Matter of fact, they've done all they can. They can't figure out how to better market themselves as a better choice than an obnoxious white, old, rich and perverted bigot like Trump.

Trump is the face of white nationalism. He didn't become that overnight. He was led by a coalition of far-white agitators like Rupert Murdoch, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Breitbart and old fart Rush Limbaugh.

They continue to bring up divisive themes to sow discourse among progressives and moderate Democratic followers.

Not to mention, the Squad's (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) demands to have a progressive candidate.

They figure if Trump is the face of conservatism, why can't we have a face of progressivism?

Williamson is like every candidate running. She wants to be better than Trump. However, there's no candidate capable of defeating Trump. They won't sink to his level. They won't attack him because of he has special needs. They can't break that base of bigots who support his mentally ill ass.

Iran: We've F*cked Up!

The destruction of a Ukrainian Airliner 737-800 was done by Iran. The country formally acknowledges the downing.

Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau said that the actions done by Iran will have consequences.

He along with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky have demanded the Iranian government to investigate the tragic downing of Ukrainian International Airliner 737-800. The flight left Tehran and was accidently targeted by Iranian missiles.

Nearly a week after a Ukrainian commercial airline was shot down, the Iranian government finally admits that they've made a terrible mistake. The flight killed Iranians, Canadians and Ukrainians.

The Iranian government at first denied they shot a missile at the airliner. They said it was mechanical error. But intelligence from the U.S., Britain and Russia confirmed that two rockets were fired at the plane.

Now the person who aimed at the plane will face criminal charges, the world leaders condemn the Iranian government. There will be protests calling for the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to be removed from office.

Ali Khamenei is the leader of the Revolutionary Guard. Those involved in the strike must explain why they attacked a domestic flight.

The United States has stroked tensions in the Middle East. Ever since, Trump had called for a strike on the military general Qassem Soleimani, the stakes have been risen to extremes.

The U.S. and Israel have brought a new effort into crippling Iran. They have plotted extrajudicial killings through drone strikes. They have labeled the Revolutionary Guard, an elite military agency, a terrorist organization.

Since the U.S. left the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the world has been on edge. Iran formally exited the nuclear agreement after the U.S. strike on Soleimani.

Thanks to the Supreme Court, Trump has imposed a travel ban on Iranians entering the United States.

Also in regards to the Iran strike on military installations in Iraq, Trump wants more sanctions.

Iran blamed the United States for the tensions. They acknowledged they fucked up. They said that they thought the U.S. was flying a low drone into their airspace. Regardless, the incident has placed Iran in the crosshairs of world leaders.

Thanks to the U.S., we're on the verge of a global war.

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau blames Iran. He privately believes the tensions between U.S. and Iran has driven Canadians into the matter.

The House of Representatives have passed a resolution that limits Trump's powers on military use.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a staunch Trump ally has sided with the Democrats on limited Trump's use of force in Iran. It riled up Trump and the Freedom Caucus.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) have questioned Trump's justification to kill Soleimani. They believe that false intelligence will lead the U.S. into another endless war. They have called Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) out for being too eager to sent a "volunteer" military into harm's way.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) were criticized by Democrats recently. The two lawmakers claimed the Democrats were coddling with terrorists. Again, flexing the only muscle they seemingly common to use, the Republicans are calling anti-war activists and Democrats, "anti-American" and enablers of "terrorism."

Cheney's dad, former vice president Dick Cheney and George W. Bush allow 9/11 to happen.

Republicans have always flexed their tongues when it comes to war.

Iranian president Hassan Rouhani has formally admitted that the country's defense forces made a "disastrous mistake." He also said that Iran would have never done this. He said that "atmosphere of threats of intimidation" by the "aggressive American regime" put the Revolutionary Guard on "full alert" against a U.S. military offense.

Iran's president Hassan Rouhani admits the plane was shot down by the Revolutionary Guard.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran is deeply sorry by this disastrous mistake," he added. "I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims of this this tragic incident on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and instruct all related organs to take all necessary measures to compensate and sympathize with the bereaved families."

Those involve will face criminal charges. They could face the death sentence if convicted in Iran.

"Perpetrators of this unforgivable mistake" will face justice. He said that he will address "weakness of the country's defense systems" to prevent these incidents from happening.

Trick Daddy Had A Snow Day!

Trick Daddy was arrested for coke.

Miami-rapper Trick Daddy was busted for having snow and booze.

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

Known legally as Maurice Samuel Young, the entertainer has battled drug addiction since a young age. He suffers from lupus which affects his skin. He has face financial difficulties from child support and spousal support.

This recent run in with the law comes almost six years ago from the last encounter.

TMZ obtained the police report. According to the Miami-Dade Police, Trick Daddy was found asleep behind the wheel of a vehicle. The cops shined a light on him. He would wake up and start talking to the cops. They said that he had a slurred speech. He said left a nightclub and just dropped someone off.

When the law asked he if he'd had anything to drink, he reported replied he'd had a imbibed a little, several hours prior.

Due to his behavior, speech and bloodshot eyes, authorities gave him a sobriety test. He failed it.

Once he was detained, he refused a breathalyzer test. So they placed him under arrest.

Trick Daddy admitted he suffered through a lot.

When the law searched his vehicle, they found a dollar bill rolled up in straw with residue of cocaine.

So they had set the "get out free" card for $5,000 for cocaine possession and $1,000 for the DUI.

Just in 2014, Trick Daddy was busted for having cocaine in his home and having a firearm while under disability.

Police raided his home and found a gram of cocaine in his bedroom along with a 9mm handgun.

The rapper was charged at the time with illegal firearm and ammunition possession while being a felon,, cocaine possession and driving with a suspended license. He was booked in the county lockup that time and bonded out shortly after.

These new charges could be a probation violation. He could face up to five years if convicted in Florida. He could lose his license to operate a vehicle for LIFE in Florida. He could be fitted with an alcohol testing device. His vehicle will be fitted with testing devices.

He broke into the hip-hop scene in 1996 after an appearance on Luther "Luke" Campbell's "Uncle Luke" album. He was on the single "Scarred." He would soon get attention from local DJ and music promoter Ted Lucas.

Lucas would sign Trick Daddy to the Slip-n-Slide Records later soon after. He would bring his debut album "Based on a True Story" to the scene. The album was popular in Miami.

His breakout was the "www.thug.com" album. The album would introduce the world to "Nan Nigga" which brought to mainstream. The single also launched Trina's career.

Slip-n-Slide brought Trick Daddy, Trina, Rick Ross and Plies to career fame.

Life Is Good!

The first single off Drake and Future's collaboration mixtape is titled, "Life is Good."

Guess what?

It seems like What A Time To Be Alive 2 is coming out this year. We await for Atlanta's codeine obsessed rapper and Toronto's favorite son to release their mixtape/album on Apple Music.

Director X (also known as Little X) completed the filming of "Life Is Good."

Drake once again is teasing the fans of the collaboration project with Future. The two released the smash album "What A Time To Be Alive" in 2015 and it launched the hit, "Jumpman."

The two rappers have cooked up many hints to what they're expecting on the album.

Fans are pleased to hear the delivery of the two. Drake enters in with his contemporary rhymes and took a dig at Pusha T and Kanye West. His lyrics acknowledged that he may have loss one rap battle but never lost his fans or the support of the hip-hop community.

The video interludes to the two talking in the back of a restaurant debating over how to make money off rapping.

Okay peep the lyrics.

The video was filmed in Atlanta and the two were portrayed as "working class" individuals picking up trash, cooking at a culinary school and working at a fast food restaurant.

They broke the fourth wall in this video.

Serving that heat.

The video was premiere at 12:00am Friday morning. It so far has obtained the 6.4 million views since its release.

Disclaimer: Future is a signed act on Epic Records. His label Freebandz is an independent label that has released most of his music. He was formerly signed to Rocko's A1 Music. He left the A1 label after finishing his two albums that were released in 2018.

Future is the father of seven (possibly nine children). My second cousin has a child from him.

Drake is an actor/rapper/singer and media mogul. There's no confirmation of leaving Cash Money/Young Money Records as of yet. But he's been very active in promoting his independent label OVO (October's Very Own) label.

Neil Peart Passed Away!

The greatest drummer in rock history. Neil Peart passed away in California.

Rush's legendary drummer and rock icon Neil Peart has died at the age of 67.

The lead lyricist of Rush, died in Santa Monica on January 7th after battling stage IV brain cancer.

"It is with great sadness we report that Neil Peart passed away on Jan. 7, 2020, in Santa Monica, California," said his family in a presser. "The world renowned drummer and lyricists for Rush died of brain cancer that he suffered from for three and a half years."

Peart, known for his technical proficiency, was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1983.

Rush was later inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and joined the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.

Peart's bandmates, bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson shared their thoughts on Peart.

"Neil was a friend, soul brother and bandmate over 45 years. He fought [a battle and stood] incredibly brave" during his battle with glioblastoma.

"We ask that friends, fans and media alike understandably respect the family's need for privacy and peace at this extremely painful and difficult time," said Rush in a statement. "Those wishing to express their condolences can choose a cancer research group or charity of their choice and make a donation in Neil Peart's name. Rest in peace, brother, the group said in a tweet.

Rush was the progressive rock.

Neil Peart was born in 1952 in Hamilton, Ontario. He was born Cornelius Ellword Peart. He grew up in Port Dalhouse (known as St. Catharines). He was began his music with regional bands and wanted to be a full-time drummer. He had a brief stint in England as a drummer. He returned to Canada with disappointment.

He would find his calling with Rush. The group was formed in 1968 in Toronto. He would join Rush in 1974 and became a breakout star within the group.

Brothers for life. Rush bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson mourn the loss of Neil Peart.

He would marry his first wife, Jacqueline Taylor. They had a daughter, Selena. She was killed in a tragic accident on Highway 401 near Toronto. Jacqueline would later pass away from cancer. He said Jacqueline died of a "broken heart" knowing their daughter died.

Neil would remarry. He was married to American photographer Carrie Nuttall. They have a 10 year old daughter Olivia.

Neil obtained his U.S. citizenship in 2013.

After developing crippling tendinitis and shoulder problems, Peart would announce he would retire from Rush and focus on his family. The band wished him well on his journey.

Late thread: Rush: Tom Sawyer and Spirit of Radio.

The Vast Reaches!

American teen found a planet.

An American man discovered a planet that is 1,300 light years away. He's not even 21 years old and he found a planet that is 6.9 larger than Earth on his third day of internship at NASA.

This young Clyde Tombaugh will now etch his legacy as an astronomer.

Wolf Cukier is a 17-year old teenager from New York.

He was at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland where he was doing an internship. He had been trawling through satellite images flagged by members of the public where the brightness of a star seemed to temporarily dip.

Then he spotted something different. An object appeared to be moving in front of the star, blocking its light. Looks like he found himself a planet.

"That's when I noticed at first," Cukier said. "It was like, oh, 'There's something here that was cool.'"

Flagging what he saw to seniors, over the coming days his more experienced colleagues started to see the results of his find and confirmed that Cukier found him a planet.

The vast reaches. A planet that is larger than Earth found by Wolf Cukier.

Handshakes and pictures and now the junk food media asking the teen, "What's it like to be a planet explorer?"

"It's was an amazing, cool bit of serendipity."

The planet hasn't been given a Greek name yet. But so far, the NASA folks call the distant planet TOI 1338 b.

Unlike Earth circling one star which is the Sun, this planet circles two stars every 95 days.

It was the first time that the NASA program he was working on, called the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), had discovered a planetary with two stars.

The plans for the future are within reach for the teen. He said once he finishes high school, he may find a place at Stanford, MIT (Massachusetts Institution of Technology) or Princeton.

Wolf Cukier's name will be sealed in history books.

He could eventually go back to NASA and find more planets and satellites. Who knows?

"Future research would involve finding more planets," said Cukier.

In July 2015, NASA's New Horizons had clear images of the dwarf planet Pluto. Located in the Kuiper Belt, Pluto was seen for the first time. The planet and its largest moon Charon were seen with clarity. Also its second moon Nix was seen in 2017.

Pluto has five moons and rotates the Sun within 248.5 years. Pluto and Neptune can't be seen with the naked eye. You would need a telescope to see these objects. Uranus is seen at some point during the night but a telescope is needed.

Lock ____ Up!

The neverending story. The U.S. Justice Department don't have any criminal acts committed by Hillary Clinton.

All roads lead back to Rupert Murdoch, John "Deep State" Solomon, Peter Schweizer, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Rudy Giuliani, Sara A. Carter and Vladimir Putin.

These entities are Donald J. Trump's allies in the global destruction of journalism, press freedom and the truth. These individuals helped Trump get elected have championed the notion that his rival Hillary Clinton was a criminal.

Trump has single-handedly destroyed American's trust among world leaders.

You heard the chants of, "Lock Her Up."

A common fixture at Trump rallies.

Fake journalist Peter Schweizer wrote Clinton Cash and it led to Trump's Justice Department investigating Clinton. 

It looks like the U.S. Justice Department released its findings on Clinton on Friday and it turns out to be no wrong doing on her part.

Officials have not found enough evidence to recommend a formal opening of a criminal investigation of Clinton. That's according to current and former U.S. officials.

The Justice Department has not formally closed the review, which was led by U.S. Attorney John Huber.

The probe started in 2017 under then U.S. Attorney General and Kleeber Elf Jefferson Beauregard Sessions. It was given major coverage by Trump, conservative Republicans in Congress and the most annoying media personality, Softball Hannity. Fox News ran constantly stories about Clinton being under federal investigation and were hoping a "bombshell" of information would net an arrest.

The "drip, drip, drip" of information. What turned out was nothing, nada, zip!

Huber was said to be examining allegations that donors to the Clinton Foundation had been given special treatment by Clinton when she served as secretary of state in the first half of the Obama administration.

The allegations first were investigated in 2015-16 and were based at least in part on claims published in the 2015 opposition research book "Clinton Cash," which was written by kookspiracy theorist Peter Schweizer. Trump and his allies have criticized the Justice Department for using opposition research paid for by Democrats in the probe of ties between associates of the Trump campaign and Russia.

Fake journalist John Solomon has his ass in deep in the federal probe of Rudy Giuliani, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.

The review also explored allegations that a Russian nuclear energy agency donated to the Clinton Foundation in order to later secure her approval for its purchase of Uranium One, a uranium mining company, when Clinton led the State Department.

At the time of Huber's appointment, special counsel Robert Mueller had been deep into his damaging investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and leading Republican lawmakers, as well as Trump, had hounded the attorney general to appoint a second special counsel to look into the Clinton matters.

Instead, Sessions turned to Huber, a respected prosecutor who had first been appointed to the position by President Barack Obama.

Huber's review had largely paled in comparison to the Mueller investigation, and officials in Washington hoping for a counterpunch to the special counsel's blows soon turned their attention to the Justice Department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, as well as US attorney John Durham of Connecticut, who both undertook separate efforts to examine the origins of the Russia probe.

Trump and Attorney General William Barr have continued to point towards Durham's probe in recent weeks as the final word on potential FBI misconduct, while largely looking past Horowitz's findings, which criticized a series of mistakes made by agency officials but concluded that there was no evidence that they had acted with bias as they opened and carried out the Russia investigation.

They still continue to chant that despite Clinton not in the political spotlight.

Softball Hannity continues to bring her up in conservation everyday. He is also bringing up Joe Biden constantly in another attempt to harm his campaign. You hear stories about Hunter Biden constantly and it's starting to take a toll on Biden's popularity.

Mind you Biden didn't fight the allegations. He wants to be respectful. He could attack Trump's five children and the silver spoon privileges they've gotten.

Sean "Softball" Hannity spends 95% of his program railing on about Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden to distract the public from scandals involving Trump.

The junk food media would be criticizing Biden for going after Barron, Melania or Ivanka Trump.

Biden should just ignore the rule and hit below the belt. Trump is trying to do it. That's why he's impeached. That's why he's trying to dismiss this ugly stain on his presidency as a partisan witch hunt to destroy his rivals in the 2020 election.

If Hillary Clinton was the President of the United States, we wouldn't be close to war with Iran. We would have universal healthcare, we would have better relations with the world leaders.

Thanks to Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Bernie Sanders, Vladimir Putin and the never ending bullshit that comes from the internet, Clinton is just on the sidelines saying privately to friends, "It's fucking crazy."

A Geezer With A Burner!

93-year old terrorist shot an apartment manager.

An old man shoots a Las Vegas apartment manager after a dispute over damages to his property.

The terrorist is facing attempted murder charges.

This 93-year old terrorist shoots an apartment complex manager in both his legs after holding him responsible for damages to his apartment complex.

The terrorist was upset after his apartment was damaged by water and blamed the management for unintended causes.

He was armed with a 9mm handgun and marched into the leasing office of Vista Del Valle apartments last Thursday. He would yell at the leasing and maintenance manager.

He would start shooting at the window, the computer and then the manager's legs.

The female leasing manager managed to get into a safe area and quickly dialed 9-1-1.

The police soon arrived and shot at the terrorist. He was grazed by the cop's bullets. They would disarm him and make him taste the concrete sandwich.

The victim was rushed to a local hospital and suffered from multiple gun wounds. He was treated and released from the hospital afterwards.

The terrorist is being held on attempted murder, kidnapping, improper use of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, burglary with a firearm, discharging a firearm in a prohibited area, and vandalism. These charges in the state of Nevada carry LIFE in the iron college.

The man is 93-years old. At that age, at least three years is a death sentence.

Prosecutors said the terrorist said he would do it again if given the chance.

He was wheelchaired into court.

He was granted a $25,000 "get out free" card. If released, he will be told to vacate the property, have no contact with the victims, forfeit his firearms, weapons and computer. He will no longer have a place to stay and if he's able to live with family, he will have restricted access to drugs, alcohol and access to firearms.

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

Again, the "status quo" of gun politics. Let's not talk about it.

It's too early to talk about gun control.

Why do [the left] want to confiscate my firearms? I have a right to own firearms.

The good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun.

Geezer shoots the manager in the legs after he got his knickerbockers in an uproar over water damage.

We need to have more security guards, more metal detectors, retired police officers in our schools, churches, malls and government buildings.

Thoughts and prayers.

My heart goes out to the victims.

Now is not the time to talk about gun violence!

This is the usual word vomit that constantly comes whenever there's a mass shooting inside a school, church or a mall. Never gonna move the needle when it comes to gun violence.

Gun violence doesn't take a break in the United States.

Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.

The "good guy" with a firearm is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. Matter of fact, the NICE GUY is often the ones who are spurned by society. Bad relationships, losing your job, jealousy over promotions, family feuds and racism are typical NICE GUY issues.

NICE GUYS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH A FIREARM.

THE NICE GUY GETS SPURNED BY SOCIETY. THEY TAKE REVENGE ON SOCIETY.

RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. THEY WILL NOT (I REPEAT) STOP A "MAD" MAN FROM OBTAINING A FIREARM.

And don't you just want to scream!?

Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."

We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will experience another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.

I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."

I am getting really tired of dealing with mass shootings.

Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names 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.

Everyday there's got to be a mass shooting in the United States. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.

Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.

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

THERE IS NO GOD.

Macy's Bleeding!

Macy's at the Northgate Mall is on the list of store closures. Cincinnati's second oldest mall suffers again.

Macy's announced a new round of closings of department stores. One affects my area.

The company said that modest sales and holiday woes have force their hand. They are closing 28 locations in the United States. They are also closing a Bloomingdale's location as well.

The closures are expected to affect Macy’s stores in at least 19 states – including Florida, California and Georgia – and at least one Bloomingdale’s location, CNN reported.

"We regularly review our store portfolio and will provide an update to our Investor Day on February 5th," the company said in a statement.

Clearance sales will begin at locations and run from eight to 12 weeks, Macy's Media Relations Manager Julianne Bartosz said in an email.

Cities affected by the closures include: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Seattle, Washington, Helena, Montana, Muncie, Indiana, Macon, Georgia, Decatur, Georgia and Miami, Florida. There are 20 other stores also in the crossfire of closure.

The brick and mortar stores are closing and there's not much talk about it in the junk food media.

Yeah, it hits the local news and social media, but it doesn't get the amplified attention of national media agitators.

Even in my state of Ohio, Cincinnati is losing the Macy's at the Northgate Mall.

Snowballs!

Bad jobs report and tensions rising in the Middle East. Trump continues to tell the MAGA-faithful, the train hasn't derailed. 

Things that make you go hmmm....!

1. Donald J. Trump becomes the third U.S. President to be impeached while in office.
2. The Democrats have no clear frontrunner in the race to replace Trump.
3. The U.S. is on the verge of a war with Iran.
4. Brick and mortar stores are shuttering in suburbia.
5. No one is seeing the results of the Job and Tax Cuts Act passed in 2017.
6. Folks are working one or more jobs to stay afloat.
7. Trump and his administration did subliminal cuts to food stamps, housing credits and disaster relief.

We're in 2020. A new decade begins and yes, the old news is new today.

The final jobs report of 2019 is out and it is something Trump won't brag about on social media.

December's payroll and wage growth missed expectations.

The Labor Department said nonfarm payrolls increased only by 145,000 while unemployment will remain at 3.5 percent.

The job rate is staying at a 50-year low. Mind you that folks are not counting the amount of folks actually working. If there's 335.4 million people working and only 114 million working, that means that at over 60% of American are working.

The U.S. jobs market ended 2019 on a sour note says CNBC. The economists were hoping for at least 160,000 to 180,000 jobs for the month. But it only gave a few sporadic jobs scattered across the 50 states, District of Columbia and five occupied U.S. territories.

Research and manufacturing jobs are on the decline. The only jobs gains in the country were in the service industry. The retail, leisure and hospitality and healthcare industry saw modest growth.

Construction rose reasonably as well as professional and business services.

Manufacturing and transportation have saw decline. The mining industry saw a decline.

Remember the folks in Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania depend on coal mines and seeing that mining is on the decline, "Trump Digs Coal" is just "words and speeches."

There will be revisions. After all, Trump bragged last month about great numbers. So when they actually adjust the numbers we're gonna see very few jobs so far.

Dayton, Ohio is where I reside. There's been extremely slow growth here. We have not seen anything construction in this area. Since the May 2019 tornado outbreak, the U.S. government has been slow on fixing our community.

Residents in Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Puerto Rico, Texas, California, North Carolina, Kansas, Iowa, American Samoa and Hawaii are still waiting on government funding to fix communities.

Nonetheless, Republicans will conclude that Trump's economy is great. Democrats will conclude that Trump's economy sucks. None of them will offer much other than the same old tired talking points about tax cuts, raising taxes on the rich and fixing roads and bridges. The same old shit but from a different face.

No one can wait forever for changes. Congress is made up of old, white and well off politicians.

Any person of color who is a member of the House or Senate are vilified or ridiculed because the white establishment continues to deny a place for everyone at the table.

Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are old white millionaires.

They make up the status quo of politics. They will not work together and solve problems. Yeah, I hate Trump and all that he stands for. But damn it, we need to focus on getting at least things done.

He's impeached. We wait for a show trial and Republicans regardless of witness will not convict him.

McConnell is too toxic to do anything positive his state of Kentucky or the country itself.

These guys are the most toxic faces in Washington.

Why bother explaining?

We still have a dozen or so candidates running for the Democratic nomination. No candidate has emerged as a viable candidate to take on Trump. Impeachment has pretty much soaked up any successes Trump gotten.

Trump's mishandling of foreign affairs has gotten more uncertain. Iran and North Korea has warned that talks with the United States will break off due to the America's reckless president.

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.

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 slowly getting covered. He is leading our country into the abyss. The Senate is delaying legislation on sensible gun reform. McConnell and many Republicans are fearful of the NRA and white gun owners. They clearly are ignoring the rest of America being fed up with these constant mass shootings.

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. So far private equity firms are buying corporations and piling on debt. These corporations can't sustain the debt and are forced to declare bankruptcy and eventually liquidation. Many of our nation's largest companies and start-ups have equity firms investing in them. When the firms want their money, they're going to get their money.

With Republicans 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 is 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.

Here's Trump in the rust belt city of Toledo, Ohio. A city that lost jobs and struggling. The current population of the city is within 284,000 residents. Folks from Indiana, Michigan and Ohio came to the rally.

Don't believe the hype. Even the folks who tour the country to see Trump speak, head to the rally.

The Racist Attacks On Meghan Markle Continue!

The New York Post is owned by Fox News. This tabloid gives Prince Harry and Meghan Markle their expertise.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have formally distanced themselves from the royal family. This became an international story. Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle have decided to step away from royal duties. They decided to take residence on Vancouver Island in the Canadian province of British Columbia. They will spend time in Canada and occasionally commute to the United States and Great Britain.

According to the rumor mill, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and older brother Prince William were shocked about Harry's decision to step away from the royal duties.

The British press reacted with surprise at the "shock move abroad," described variously as "seismic," "selfish," "rogue" and "an atrocious lapse of judgment."

I don't blame them. The junk food media does piss folks off.

Many in the junk food media blame Meghan for Harry's departure from royal life. Matter of fact, the racist attacks on her have gone beyond the mere criticism.

Folks here in the states and over the pond are talking about it. What riled me up was the not-so-subtle attacks on the American actress turned royal.

Above is the offensive cover from a tabloid notorious for pushing racially offensive attacks on people of color.

The New York Post is a far-white tabloid owned by Fox Murdoch (News Corp).

Since the cover, the Post has took joy in watching people react to the cover.

Rupert Murdoch, an Australian-American billionaire who supports Donald J. Trump owns the tabloid, Fox News, Fox Sports and Harper Collins publishing.

The billionaire has impact in the United States, Canada, Australia, Israel and Great Britain.

I am sick and tired of the Murdoch empire. They are causing turmoil in the country. They are going to push Trump to go to war with Iran. They are going to force Republicans in the Senate to go against the Constitution. They are going to cause a civil war in the United States thanks to years of promoting conspiracies and hyper-partisan bullshit.
