Max von Sydow Passed Away!

Actor Max von Sydow passed away in France.
If you remember the Stephen King novel "Needful Things." They made a movie based off that horror classic and guess who played the Devil? I remember him as the salesman from Akron, Ohio who moves to Castle Rock, Maine to open up an antique store that offered items of great use. The only thing besides a discount was a favor. The devil (under the guise of Leland Gaunt) was played by well-known actor Max von Sydow.

Well famed actor and director Max von Sydow passed away today.

The Associated Press said the actor passed away on Sunday at the age of 90.

Von Sydow got his start in the 1949 Swedish film "Only a Mother." Throughout his career, he appeared in almost 200 films and television productions, the AP reported.

But he is best known for the role of Father Merrin in the 1973 film, "The Exorcist."

He was was the character of the Three-Eyed Raven in the HBO series, "Game of Thrones," as well as Lor San Tekka in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," delivering the line, "This will begin to make things right" at the beginning of the final "Star Wars" trilogy.

Von Sydow was also one of a handful of actors to play James Bond villain Ernst Blofeld in "Never Say Never Again."

His final role will be in the upcoming film "Echoes of the Past."

Von Sydow was nominated for two Academy Awards over his career, including one in 1998 for the Peele the Conqueror and a second for "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," the BBC reported.

Max von Sydow (born Carl Adolf von Sydow) was a Swedish actor who appeared in European and American films. He is known also as Knight Antonius Block in Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal."

He was born in Lund, Sweden in 1929. He passed away in Provence, France.

Max was married to Christina Olin in 1951 and divorced her in 1979. He would later marry Catherine Brelet in 1997.

He had two children from Olin. He also had adopted Brelet's two children as his own.

Von Sydow said that he was non-religious and he wasn't afraid to die.

He gained citizenship in France in 2002 and relinquished his Swedish citizenship.

DaBaby opens up to Boprah about his "Let's Go" trademark.

[Verse 3: DaBaby & Lil Yachty]

She look like a goddess, but she ain't no saint

He takes aim at critics of mumble rap and disses Oprah over the Russell Simmons documentary.

It's released on Quality Control Music with addition to Capitol Records and Motown Records.

Filming of the music video were in Atlanta and Toronto.
Boprah thanks Lil Yachty for his on air participation.
In his drag persona Boprah, Yachty jokes with Drake (who himself appeared as Oprah in his "Energy" music video) about how growing a beard and his LSC (light-skinned capability) have helped the Toronto rapper in his career. In turn, Drake praises Lil Yachty to Boprah by saying he's at "the forefront of that movement of music that should be forgotten about."

After a disastrous Boprah segment featuring Lil Yachty, with the rapper playing opposite himself, the music video shifts to an on-location segment in which Boprah interviews breakout rapper DaBaby. In addition to giving some entrepreneurial advice to the North Carolina MC, Boprah gets real answers about why it could be argued that all DaBaby songs sound the same.

The music video was conceived by Lil Yachty, who also wrote the skits. It was directed by X, who has collaborated with Drake on music videos like "Work" with Rihanna. "Oprah's Bank Account" is off Yachty's upcoming album Lil Boat 3, due this spring.



Here's a bonus video.

Wiz Khalifa featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty and Sueco the Child, "Speed Me Up" from the Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Soundtrack.

GOP Lawmakers Caught Swag Flu!


How should I feel about Washington, DC lawmakers being exposed to the deadly disease?

Climate change is real.

You deserve it!

The definition of irony!

You can't fix stupid!

I'm not going to pray for their health or safety. They deserve whatever happened to them.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) may have exposed Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence to the coronavirus.





Trump is a huge germaphobe and conspiracy theorist is facing a huge crisis within his presidency.

He spent most of the afternoon trashing Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Democrats and the junk food media.












Not only being the third U.S. President to impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, Trump is now in a possible collapse of his legacy. He is facing a possible collapse of the American economy due to his handling of the coronavirus.
Four Republicans and one Democrat are self-quarantining themselves after being possibly exposed to the coronavirus.
The far-white lawmakers, Trump and Pence attended the CPAC 2020. Even the head of CPAC, American Conservative Union president Matt Schlapp and his wife Mercedes were possible exposed to the virus.

The lawmakers are self-quarantining themselves from the general public after reports they may have been exposed to the virus from a person attending CPAC.

Gaetz, a controversial Florida lawmaker wore a gas mask on the House floor during a vote on the $8 billion bill to fight the virus. He voted "NO" on the bill and was making the claim that the junk food media and Democrats were hyping up the epidemic to hurt Trump.

It also didn't help Trump over the weekend. He was caught on camera golfing at Mar a Largo and Trump Golf International during this crisis. The stock market opened on a huge downfall.

The stock went down over 2,000 points.
A handshake could be deadly!
The U.S. oil market is under fire as well.

The Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia has sparked an oil trade war.

Julia Brownely (D-CA) is the only Democratic lawmaker that confirmed that she is being self-quarantined. She said that she was exposed to the virus after interacting with a person.

Surgeon General Jerome Adams has been trying his best to calm the storm. He was recently appointed to the position. He is one of the only African Americans in Trump's White House actually smart. But lordy, he's trying his hardest to please Trump while there's a crisis.

I mean even the idiot Ben Carson, who is a certified doctor couldn't figure out why the coronavirus is spreading across the United States. Carson is the current Housing and Urban Development secretary.

Trump says the world is overreacting.

If the economy crashes, who will be blamed for this? Barack Obama?

Cory Booker Got Biden!

Cory Booker throws his support to Joe Biden.
Another former rival endorses Joe Biden.

The New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker is endorsing the former vice president.

So far, most (with exception of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)) have endorsed Biden over his primary rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

In a statement, Booker said that Biden will "restore honor to the Oval Office and tackle our most pressing challenges."






Booker ended his campaign in January, pledging to do "everything in my power to elect the eventual Democratic nominee for president."

Booker's endorsement comes fresh after he secured the support of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick this weekend.

In the lead up to Super Tuesday, Biden nabbed the endorsements of Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Pete Buttigieg and Beto O'Rourke. They helped Biden propel 8 of the 14 primaries on Super Tuesday.

This endorsement from a former Democratic presidential candidate comes at a crucial time. The Michigan primaries are tomorrow. Biden and Sanders are locked in a bitter feud over delegates.

Sanders who has won the endorsements of Rev. Jesse Jackson has campaign hard in Michigan. He has given up Mississippi to Biden. The surrogates of Sanders are becoming more Trumpian and resorting to conspiracies to denounce Biden and those who support him.

Biden has strong support from African Americans. He so far leads against Sanders in double digits.

Booker, who ended his campaign in January after failing to qualify for the Democratic debate ahead of the Iowa caucuses, occasionally clashed with Biden on a number of issues, including his remarks about working with segregationist senators.
Progressive senator Cory Booker sees Biden as the viable choice against Donald Trump.
"You don't joke about calling black men 'boys.' Men like James O. Eastland used words like that, and the racist policies that accompanied them, to perpetuate white supremacy and strip black Americans of our very humanity," Booker said in a statement at the time.

Booker would eventually apologized for the remarks.

"I was raised to speak truth to power and that I shall never apologize for doing that," he added. "And Vice President Biden shouldn't need this lesson."

"There's a saying in my community that you've dipping into the Kool-Aid and you don't even know the flavor," he said. "You need to come to the city of Newark and see the reforms we put in place."

Booker will join Harris and Biden in Detroit, Flint, Saginaw and Grand Rapids.

Sanders has struggled to gain traction with Washington, DC lawmakers. His campaign is calling the endorsements to Biden a part of the "establishment" and have been harping Russian talking points.

Donald J. Trump is relishing in this division. He is basically trying to court Sanders supporters to vote for him.

International Women's Day!


Today is International Women's Day. Across the world, women celebrate milestones in achievement.

International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.

International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.

An equal world is an enabled world. How will you help forge a gender equal world?

Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.

Kamala Harris Got Biden!

Joe Biden got the backing of Kamala Harris in a crucial fight for Michigan.
California senator endorses former rival after bitter feud.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) managed to take down Joe Biden in the first debate. She addressed his record as a senator in the 1970s and 1980s. It proved to be harmful to him. He immediately lost his frontrunner status and propelled her to the top-tier standings. But when it came to the second debate, she tangled with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) who managed to outmaneuver her on her record as California state prosecutor.

Since the debate, Harris struggled to gain momentum.

She would eventually drop out the race. It hurt me. I was hoping for either the California senator or the former Texas Representative to be the Democratic nominee. I had early backed them. I backed Michael Bloomberg before he dropped out.

Now I'm going to help Joe Biden win this.

Harris and Beto O'Rourke were the only candidates capable of beating Donald J. Trump. She and O'Rourke were in a crowded field of also-rans, never will bes and not the right time yets.

While campaigning in St. Louis, Missouri, Biden leaked the news that he's got Kamala's support.

"To all of Amy (Klobuchars)'s folks, to all of Pete (Buttigieg)'s folks, to all of Kamala (Harris)'s folks, to all of the folks who have, Beto (O'Rourke)'s folks, I'll tell you what? What a gigantic difference it's made," said Biden. "We're gonna unite this party and unite this country."

It's true, the California senator endorsed Biden over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).



This is a big endorsement and a sign that the Democrats are unifying around Biden over Sanders.

Harris is a progressive fighter. She is a woman of color who has a lot of impact in the race.

Harris staid out of the California primary race. She didn't want to endorse a candidate while they were campaigning. Once the California primary was over, she came out in favor of Biden.

"There is no one better prepared than Joe to steer our nation through these turbulent times, and restore truth, honor, and decency to the Oval Office," she said in a statement. "He is kind and endlessly caring, and he truly listens to the American people."

Harris was critical of Biden on the campaign trail. Her criticism during the debate in June of Biden's record on racial segregation, including his remarks about working with two segregationist senators during his time in the senate became a defining moment of the night.

"I do not believe you are a racist. And I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground," Harris said. "But it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and careers on the segregation of race in this country."

She said that she will hold Biden to account and assure that her support will be useful. She also aimed at Donald J. Trump, the idiot who currently occupying the White House.

"We deserve a president with the knowledge and experience to reassure a nation weary of tweets, lies and incompetence," said Harris. "And we deserve a president who speaks to the best of who we are and challenges us to live up to our ideals."

"I believe in Joe Biden," she added. "and will do everything in my power to help elect him the next president of the United States."

Harris will join Biden in Michigan. She will campaign with Biden in Ann Arbor, Detroit and Saginaw on Monday. Biden will campaign in Flint, Grand Rapids and Marquette before the primary.

This is the latest U.S. Senator to endorse Biden over Sanders.

This comes at a crucial time for both Biden and Sanders. The Michigan primary could be a deciding factor in this race for the nomination. The nomination has turned ugly.

Sanders only has the backing of U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT). He has at least seven U.S. Representatives backing his campaign. The most notable ones were Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Michael Bloomberg has endorsed Biden for president. He will begin taking on Trump on the sidelines and call upon Biden to address Trump's family, Fox News and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Biden is facing an onslaught of misinformation and attacks. Trump, Sanders, their allies and Russia are trying to bruise his campaign. The talk about his age, health, his fitness and his behavior on the campaign trail will be used against him. The troll farm has been building a momentum of anti-Biden bullshit.

The reasons to why it's difficult to support Sanders, his supporters and media allies. They are insufferable assholes. They are just as bad as Trump and his supporters.

Trump is extremely polarizing and it's going to divide our country if he wins reelection.

Jesse Jackson Got Bern!

Jesse Jackson endorses Bernie Sanders. Crucial need for a victory in Michigan.
While campaigning in Grand Rapids Michigan, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) got a huge endorsement.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, the 1984 and 1988 Democratic presidential candidate and civil rights activist endorsed Sanders for president. Sanders had endorsed Jackson in his second run for president.


Jackson telling the crowd that a vote for Sanders is a vote for justice and health care.

"I stand with Bernie Sanders today because he stood with me. I stand with him because he never lost his taste for justice with the people. I stand with him because he stands with you," Jackson said.


Sanders had events at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids.

Sanders called Jackson one of the greatest fighters for civil rights in America's modern history. If it wasn't for Jackson's tireless activism, Barack Obama would likely not have become the first Black president.

Jackson once said that he'll cut Obama's nuts off because "he was talking down to Black people."

Last time Jackson endorsed Hillary Clinton over Sanders in the 2016 race.

"The Rev. Jesse Jackson has broken down more barriers than one can ever dream of," said Sanders.

Jackson posted on social media, "It's a joy to 'feel the Bern.'"

"We look to our youth for energy, expansion and inclusion which leads to growth. The youth that comes to these rallies represent hope, healing and promise for our nation," Jackson added.

It's a big endorsement. Sanders has struggled with the Black vote.

Since the South Carolina Democratic Primary, Sanders had struggled to regain footing. He's hoping to win Michigan to stay viable in this race.

Polls show that Joe Biden leads in Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Illinois and Missouri.

Suga!

Megan Thee Stallion puts out the SUGA EP and launches a fight with her label for mishandling its release.
Megan Thee Stallion releases her third EP called "SUGA."

The rapper/model is facing controversy over its release. The album was allegedly stopped due to a restraining order filed by the label.

Megan Thee Stallion was blowing up 2019 with the hits "Hot Girl Summer" and "Cash Shit."

Now under a new moniker, "SUGA", Megan The Stallion wants to reclaim her place as an independent artist who has creative control of her music.

The EP was released on Friday and it features the newest single "B.I.T.C.H." and its homage to the Tupac Shakur single, "I Rather Be Ya NIGGA." with Richie Rich.
Megan Thee Stallion with DaBaby.
The single has the production of Helluva, J. White, Lil Ju, Jake One, Pop Wansel, Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo (The Neptunes), Timbaland and Tommy Brown.

She has features from Kehlani and Gunna.

Peep the album here.



The album is released on Warner Music Group through 1501 Certified Entertainment and 300 Entertainment.

Here's some of the lyrics from SUGA.

The single, "Crying in the Car."

[Verse 1]
Money to make and we all gon' spend it
Takin' care of my team, they wit' me
Can't complain, can't do no trippin'
Sayin' a prayer and I know he hear me
People keep sayin' I should be the bigger person
Who's gonna worry 'bout me when I'm hurtin'?
Got one more time, keep talkin' that shit
And I'ma wild out and go hard on a bitch
I been stayin' up all night
My niggas in the street, I'm makin' sure they're alright
And if I tell 'em it's a issue, then it's on sight
I'm on point, let me show you what that aim like

[Pre-Chorus]
Shit ain't the same and you say I'm changin'
But I really think it's you
Mad at me 'cause I'm elevatin'
But what you wanted me to do?

[Chorus]
Please don't give up on me, Lord, Lord
Promise to keep goin' hard, hard
All of them nights that I cried in the car
All them tears turned into ice on my arms
Please don't give up on me, Lord, Lord
Promise to keep goin' hard, hard
All of them nights that I cried in the car
All them tears turned into ice on my arms

[Post-Chorus]
And that's why I keep goin' harder
And harder (Ayy)
And that's why I keep goin' harder
And harder (Ayy)

[Verse 2]
Nigga, why you wanna play with me?
And why your girl look like she got somethin' to say to me?
He a snake and you layin' in the snake pit
'Cause he the type of nigga fuck a bitch I'm cool with
I don't want to talk and I barely wanna listen
Niggas playin' tag and they all tryna get me
Gotta stay focused, gotta stay winnin'
Young bitch just tryna make these millions
You know ya really motivatin' me
I'm really happy that you mothafuckas hate me
All them hoes get quiet when I walk in
They don't bother me, I know them bitches ain't shit

[Pre-Chorus]
Shit ain't the same and you say I'm changin'
But I really think it's you
Mad at me 'cause I'm elevatin'
But what you wanted me to do?

[Chorus]
Please don't give up on me, Lord, Lord
Promise to keep goin' hard, hard
All of them nights that I cried in the car
All them tears turned into ice on my arms
Please don't give up on me, Lord, Lord
Promise to keep goin' hard, hard
All of them nights that I cried in the car
All them tears turned into ice on my arms

[Post-Chorus]
And that's why I keep goin' harder

And that's why I keep goin' harder
And harder (Ayy)

[Outro]
And that's why I keep goin' harder
And harder (Ayy)
And that's why I keep goin' harder
And harder (Ayy)

The rapper wants off her label. She believes that the label is cheating her out of her royalties.

Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, didn't only ask Houston's Harris County District Court to help greenlight the release of Suga. Simultaneously, in a lawsuit filed on March 2, she asked for at least $1 million and the termination of her contract with 1501, claiming that the label has engaged in fraud, breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, and other violations of civil law. The legal battle brings to a head tensions that have been playing out in interviews and social media for months.
Hot Girl Summer was one of the biggest hits of 2019.
Represented by Richard Busch, the lawyer who helped Marvin Gaye’s family triumph over Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams in the "Blurred Lines" copyright dispute, Megan Thee Stallion essentially claims that Crawford duped her into signing an unfair deal at a time when she didn't know any better. Megan, now 25, was "young and naive" when she signed to 1501 in early 2018, according to court documents filed by her team, and Crawford and 1501 "took complete advantage of her and fraudulently induced her to enter into the contract." That contract, the documents allege, is "not only entirely unconscionable, but ridiculously so."

Megan filed her lawsuit on March 2, and very quickly won a battle in preliminary rulings. That day, a Harris County District Court judge approved her request for a temporary restraining order, which prevented 1501 from interfering with Suga's release. Two days later, another Harris County District Court judge gave her another boost, denying 1501's request to dissolve the temporary restraining order. Megan celebrated the latter victory on Instagram, writing, "I will stand up for myself and won't allow two men to bully me, I am NO ONES PROPERTY."

FACTS ARE FACTS AND THE FACTS ARE PUBLIC ‼️ I’m extremely pleased that 1501 and Carl Crawford were denied the request to dissolve the Court order and try to stop my music from being released. I will proceed with the release of “SUGA”. On Friday March 6, To be clear, I will stand up for myself and won’t allow two men to bully me, I am NO ONES PROPERTY. Y’all are choosing to highlight the issue of music splits...talk about everything else. This has nothing to do with anyone else including JAY-Z, stop deflecting and trying to make this a publicity stunt, I want my rights, The facts are; 1. 1501 doesn’t want to approve my budget to put out my project that the court is allowing to be released. 2. 1501 tried to stop my release, I prevailed in court 3. 1501 tried to fight the decision today, the court denied 1501’s request🤷🏽‍♀️ respect my deceased mother, she’s not here, you don’t know her, you weren’t involved, Carl should speak for himself, All the facts are public record available at the courthouse in Houston.
A post shared by Hot Girl Meg (@theestallion) on


But the case for terminating her contract with 1501 altogether could be more contentious. Her lawsuit alleges that the deal is so unfair it should be scrapped, that 1501 has broken the contract in ways that caused her "immediate and irreparable injury" and misrepresented its ability to promote her music. The label also falsely led her to believe T. Farris was Crawford's business partner when he was actually an outside consultant, according to the lawsuit. But the sort of fraud she’s accusing Crawford of committing when he signed her to 1501 is difficult to prove in court.

"The music and entertainment industries often include some level of puffery, of inflating of the truth," says Clark. He laid out a long list of qualifiers Megan would need to meet in order to prevail in court: "She's going to need to prove that those false statements went beyond normal overstatements, that 1501 knew those statements weren't true, that they were said in order to get her to sign with them, that she signed with them because of those statements, and she has since been injured by that relationship."

Megan's contract with 1501 is "extremely onerous," says Eng, but it will be "up to the judge and jury to decide whether it’s so onerous that it’s unconscionable." Owen Sloane, a music lawyer, says the lawsuit "sounds like a tactic to secure a renegotiation." In other words, the two sides might end up settling, as often happens in these sorts of cases, with Megan Thee Stallion getting at least some of the changes she wants made in her contact. The next hearing in the case is set for March 13.

Mick Mulvaney Out! Mark Meadows In!

Mick Mulvaney gets fired out the cannon.
Shake up at the White House. Again, the highest amount of turnover in modern history.

Donald J. Trump does not hire the best people to run the country. Matter of fact, the best people to run this country are often ridiculed by Trump. The junk food media usually keeps a tally of folks who depart from the White House. The far-white agitators often see folks stabbing Trump in the back. They believe that it's not enough to work with Trump. They want complete loyalty or they'll cast you as a part of the "deep state." The so-called "deep state" is conspiracy stroked by far-white agitators like Alex Jones, Sucker Tucker, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Laura Ingraham.

The deep state are operatives within Trump's inner circle devoted to destroying his legacy.

But of course, the only person capable of destroying his legacy is Trump.

White House Management and Office Director and interim White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney is out. Who replaces him?
Trump taps Mark Meadows to handle him.
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), the outgoing Congressman and member of the "do nothing" Freedom Caucus.

Meadows, a loyal Trump ally has been tapped to replace Mulvaney in the coming weeks. He will be Trump's fourth chief of staff. The last ones before Mulvaney were Reince Priebus and John Kelly.

Meadows will probably give Trump freedom to express his thoughts. He will actually be a "yes man" until Trump forces him to do something unethical or unlawful.

On social media, Trump tweeted that he's tapped Meadows to hold the position.


It was an abrupt announcement of news that had been anticipated for weeks. It was the results of Trump's impeachment. He was impeached because of him soliciting a foreign entity to meddle in the U.S. Presidential Elections. Mulvaney admitted that Trump wanted foreign interference.

The Senate refused to subpoena Mulvaney and other witnesses involved in the scandal.

They voted to acquit Trump despite evidence proving he did advocate for Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.

Mulvaney had a lot on his plate. He was the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and continues to hold position as director of Office of Management and Budget.

He will soon be appointed a United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland.

No Pictures Please!

Dayton, Ohio shuts down the traffic cameras (for now).
The city of Dayton had pullback the speed and red light cameras for now. The city is still fighting against the state over those damn cameras. A longstanding issue in the city. Many believe that the traffic cameras being placed in predominantly Black areas contributes to a "shake down."

Nan Whaley, the city's mayor dismiss the notion and believe the cameras are there for the safety of citizens. The city pulled a mighty good revenue from these devices.

Dayton was one of the many jurisdictions that advocated for the use of red light cameras and speed cameras at many of its intersections.

The state of Ohio countered that the cameras were basically cash cows and didn't offer logical proof a violation was committed by traffic offenders. They had passed a state law requiring speed cameras near schools and used during periods when children are present. They also said that police officers should be located near an intersection to witness the violation.

The Dayton Police couldn't use the manpower to have officers watching intersections.

So they had to pull the cameras. They took it to court and won on the grounds of home rule legislation. Now Ohio came back with avengence. They wanted to make a law crystal clear, "if you're profiting off the cameras and not the safety, the cameras are invalid."

Last summer, the city of Dayton stopped using its fixed traffic cameras to record violations and issue citation notices.

The city has placed traffic cameras near school zones and have been actively enforcing those since.
Main Street at Hillcrest Avenue was the former location for a red light camera.
The speed detection cameras installed on North Gettysburg Avenue and North Main Street in Dayton were deactivated. The red light cameras are still active at South Smithville Road at Linden Avenue, James H. McGee Boulevard at West Third Street. The only speed camera still active is on South Keowee Street near downtown Dayton.

The city has still fought the state on this. The state had warned Dayton and other communities that if they continue with the traffic cameras, they'll lose necessary funding for roads and projects.

Ohio lawmakers had passed a law requiring that traffic cameras are to be used only when school speed limits are lowered during hours of education.

Dayton had pulled in over $2 million in revenue from traffic cameras.

Montgomery County cities like West Carrollton, Trotwood and Dayton had used those traffic cameras.

Butler County cities like Middletown, New Miami, Hamilton and Fairfield had used those traffic cameras.

Clark County cities like Springfield had used those traffic cameras.

So far, Trotwood and Dayton have continued to use those traffic cameras.
