Transgender man who captured national attention giving birth to his daughter announced he's pregnant again.
Kayden Coleman born a woman came out as transgender over 10 years ago. He took hormone blockers while waiting for his mastectomy. He would get pregnant during the transition.
He met his husband Elijah who was accepting of his wife's transition to a man. They ended up having a daughter before the two separated and later divorced.
Before he was going to have genital constructive surgery. While getting prepared he found out that he was seven weeks pregnant.
Coleman said that the shocked to discovered he was pregnant again. He and his current boyfriend Dominique will expect their first child in August.
Coleman faced criticism over his pregnancy. Folks were calling him a monster for getting pregnant and said that he should lose his child.
Kayden with his then husband Elijah and daughter. His husband accepted his transition from woman to a man.
"I do enjoy parts of being pregnant like the fact it makes my beard thicker. But I don't get the same pregnancy privileges because it is not obvious that I'm carrying a child, people just assume it's a beer belly, so people don't give up their seat for me or hold doors open. Even growing up as a girl, I hated my chest. I never wanted to wear a bra and I knew that even if I didn't transition I would have a reduction. But I never had bottom surgery because it's expensive, there are often a lot of complications with it and it can numb things sexually."
He added, "I've never been scared of backlash because at the end of the day until these people are paying my bills or putting food on my table their opinions are just that."
He said that his daughter Azaelia is the best thing in the world.
Kayden is proud to be a father to his daughter Azaelia.
"When Azaelia was born there were a lot of people who said they felt sorry for her and that she would grow up and be confused. They said that she should be taken away and called me a 'monster.'"
Kayden had faced scrutiny from anti-LGBTQ agitators. They believe that he's exploiting the meaning of family.
He has brushed off the critics and said that parenting isn't a gender issue, it's a family issue.
"We don't really have any issues when we're out with Azaelia. People just see two men and a baby because it's not outwardly apparent that I carried her in my womb."
Pregnancy is possible for transgender men who retain a functioning vagina, ovaries, and a uterus.
Kayden and his new boyfriend Dominique announced they're going to be proud parents.
Regardless of prior hormone replacement therapy treatments, the progression of pregnancy and birthing procedures are typically the same as those of cisgender women. However, trans men who carry pregnancies are often subjected to a variety of negative, social, emotional, and medical experiences, as pregnancy is regarded as an exclusively feminine or female activity. According to the study "Transgender Men Who Experienced Pregnancy After Female-to-Male Gender Transitioning" by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, there is a lack of awareness, services, and medical assistance available to pregnant trans men.
Inaccessibility to these services may lead to difficulty in finding comfortable and supportive services concerning prenatal care, as well as an increased risk for unsafe or unhealthy practices. Additionally, the study also exposed that some individuals reported having gender dysphoria and feelings of isolation due to the drastic changes in appearance which occur during pregnancy, such as enlarged breasts, and due to changes in public reception of their gender identity. Researchers also found that prior use of testosterone did not affect pregnancy.

Well wishes to Kayden and Dominique on their joys of parenting.
Idaho couple who got media coverage may have killed their children.
Family of the year folks.
The FBI and Idaho State Police announced the bodies that were found on a property of a person of interest were the two children who disappeared last year. Their mother and her new husband are the monsters who may have murdered them.
Authorities on Wednesday with a search warrant confirmed the uncovered two sets of children's remains at the home as they piece together the motives.
These monsters are currently in county lockup awaiting trial on child neglect but now it's likely murder charges are going to be on the docket. So far, they have tampering with evidence, child neglect, abandonment and falsifying statements to federal authorities.
The bodies of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan were found on the property of an Idaho man who married their mother.
In a press release, the Rexburg Police told the victims' grandparents, Larry and Kay Woodcock and Colby and Kelsee Ryan the bodies were Joshua "JJ" Vallow, 7 and 17-year old Tylee Ryan.
The case drawn international attention. Of course, missing white girl and pretty white criminal.
Missing White Woman Syndrome folks
The woman's new husband is a writer of graphic doomsday novels. On his property, the feds found human remains and had no doubt those were the bodies of JJ and Tylee.
The mother was a junk food media sensation. She was a former model, games show contestant and a member of a secretive cult.
The mother and this man got married in Hawai'i and avoided contact with her parents and her former husband's family.
JJ's remains were among those found on the property, his grandmother Kay Woodcock said to the junk food media. They soon found Tylee's remains a few days later.
The mother was a tabloid sensation.
Rexburg Police confirmed the bodies on Tuesday.
Rob Wood, the special prosecutor handling the case, said investigators found the concealment of at least one of the bodies "to be particularly egregious."
The man's previous wife, Tammy Daybell died at home. The family declined to have an autopsy before they had buried her body in Utah. The children were first reported missing by their grandparents a month before that.
A local investigation grew into a interstate probe that attracted international media coverage.
The couple could face federal charges because there's a chain of events chronicling family members dying and a possible cult involvement.
The woman's ex-husband Charles Vallow was shot and killed in a Phoenix area apartment by her brother. The terrorist died of natural causes while awaiting trial.
Charles had filed for divorce from this monster. He said that she might kill him and that she held apocalyptic beliefs, including a belief that "a god assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ's second coming in July 2020."
To all the scumbags coming in and demanding into, etc. This is Tylee and JJ, these are the kids who this case revolve around. Stop being petty assholes and worry about them. Also, stop saying “JJ and the girl” it’s “JJ and Tylee” or “Tylee and JJ” their names matter #LoriVallowpic.twitter.com/fdusZg5Jop
The Montgomery County, Ohio prosecutor Matt Heck is going for the DEATH card against a woman who allegedly left her child dead in an apartment. A 9-1-1 call came in saying that there was a smell of a "dead body" in the complex.
Apparently this monster is an amateur boxer and trash talker.
"I think there's someone over there that's deceased," the caller told dispatchers.
The Dayton Police and The Dayton Fire Department broke down the door
When they arrived to the residence, they found find a decomposing corpse of a 1-year old child.
"Out of concern for the safety and well-being of anyone inside, the Dayton Fire Department was requested to the scene and assisted with entering the apartment," said spokesman Lt. Jason Hall of the Dayton Police. "Firefighters located the remains of a small child who had clearly been deceased for some time. A call out was then made for detectives from both the Dayton Police Department Special Victims Unit and the Homicide Unit."
Western Manor Apartments in Dayton, Ohio are pretty rundown.
The county bag'em ups said that they'll determine when the child died and how he died.
This monster has other children but they weren't present with her at the time of the arrest.
The call led to the arrest of that monster. She was arrested in nearby Trotwood.
The charges are murder, abuse of corpse, failure to report child abuse and negligence. The charges itself could be 18 to LIFE in the iron college. But the state will push for the DEATH card.
Some who knew this monster condemned her.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Bubba Wallace is the only African American driver in NASCAR.
He praised NASCAR after they formally announced they're no longer allowing fans or sponsors who don the Confederate flag.
The racing industry's ban on the flag was swift.
"The presence of the confederate flag at NASCAR events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors, and our industry, said NASCAR in a press statement. "Bringing people together around a love for racing and the community that it creates is what makes our fans and sport special. The display of the confederate flag will be prohibited from all NASCAR events and properties."
On Wednesday night, the move proved to be controversial.
White folks who proudly don that disgraceful flag vow to boycott NASCAR and call upon Donald J. Trump to punish the racing industry for caving to Black Lives Matter.
In an interview with GMA's Robin Roberts, Wallace praised the industry for taking action.
"I'm very gracious to have an elite group of drivers who are willing to stand up for what's right and be able to convey the message as well, and push the envelope," Wallace said."It just show the kind of respect we have for each other."
Bubba Wallace praises the decision for NASCAR to drop the flag.
On CNN, Wallace added that if it was up to him, he would get rid of the flags all together.
"My next step would be to get rid of all Confederate flags. No one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a NASCAR race. So it starts with Confederate flags. Get them out of her. They have no place for them."
Wallace also added, "There's going to be a lot of angry people that carry those flags proudly but it's time for change. We have to change that, and I encourage NASCAR to have those conversations to remove those flags."
NASCAR president Steve Phelps said that the time is now.
"Our country is in pain and people are justifiably angry, demanding to be heard. The Black community and all people of color have suffered in our country, and it has taken far too long for us to hear their demands for change. Our sport must do better. Our country must do better. The time is now to listen, to understand and to stand against racism and racial injustice. We ask our drivers, our competitors and all our fans to join us in this mission, to take a moment of reflection, to acknowledge that we must do better as a sport, and join us as we now pause and take a moment to listen."
One NASCAR racer is considering quitting because of the decision. He was swiftly condemned.
NASCAR Truck racer Ray Ciccarelli was livid about the decision to ban the Confederate flag.
On his social media, he wrote, "Well its been a fun ride and dream come true but if this is the direction NASCAR is headed we will not participate after 2020 season is over.
Cicarelli added, "I don't believe in kneeling during [the National Anthem] nor taken [people's] right to fly whatever flag they love. I could care less about the Confederate flag but there are [people] that do and it doesn't make them a racist. All you are doing is fucking one group to cater to another and I ain't [spending] the money we are to participate in any political [bullshit]. So everything is for sale!"
The flag was born out of rebels. The Confederate States of America was born in 1861 and fell in 1865. The Confederacy stood firm in continuing slavery, white nationalism and the ethnic-cleansing of indigenous people.
Jackass Ray Cicarelli decides to leave NASCAR because they drop the flag.
The flag is most commonly found in the South but it pops up in places everywhere. Mind you that white supremacists are often associated with the flag.
The far-white are lit up over the protests in the wake of George Floyd. Across the country and the world, the symbols of hate and bigotry are being taken down (by force).
Places in the South are finding Confederate monuments and namesakes destroyed. They are taking down statues of Christopher Columbus, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Hugo Black, Charles Linn, Edward Colston, King Leopold II, Raphael Semmes, Frank Rizzo, Charles Linn and Stonewall Jackson.
The U.S. military is considering renaming military installations that were named after Confederate soldiers.
Trump says he's going to campaign again. He talks to a roundtable of Black conservatives about his outreach post-George Floyd.
As of today, there's about 125,000 Americans killed from the coronavirus. There are 4.3 million Americans who have the coronavirus. Some don't even know they're infected by this.
Despite all the possibility of a second major outbreak, Donald J. Trump refuses to shut the country down. He will no longer support the idea of halting the federal government and economy because of a global health pandemic.
Trump has confirmed he'll be returning to the campaign trail.
He will make a comeback in the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Trump wants to make a huge comeback by hosting a rally.
The Tulsa race riots of 1921.
There's just one problem, he's gonna put thousands of lives at risk of exposure to the COVID-19.
He also wants to hold rallies in Texas, Florida and Arizona. These states are seen as critical to Trump's reelection strategy. He's struggled with these states due to the coronavirus.
Trump made this announcement at a roundtable with "controversial" African American conservatives. They were praising Trump for the "great job" he's done to help Black America despite the protests across the country involving the death of George Floyd.
Oklahoma has seen a spike in the coronavirus cases. They have reported over 500 cases with nearly 10,000 positive cases.
Terrence Crutcher was killed by a dirty Tulsa cop who shot him outside his vehicle.
Trump is holding this rally on June 19. That's symbolic to African Americans. It's called Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the state of Texas. Texas was the last confederate state to prohibit the slavery of Black people.
Trump's last rally was in Charlotte before the pandemic was declared.
Trump advisers believed that the protests against police brutality in cities across the country will make it harder for progressives to criticize Trump rallies taking place. He's gonna expect protesters in Tulsa.
Trump supports dirty cops. This woman killed Terrence Crutcher. She didn't go to prison. She got a job at the NRA and making money off of books and her likeness.
Terrence Crutcher died because of a dirty cop shot him while he was standing outside his SUV. She walked free because of a crooked prosecutor and the "cop's word against the dead body." Oh, I am expecting there's going to be protests in Tulsa.
The Tulsa Massacre (more commonly known as the Greenwood Massacre, or the Black Wall Street Massacre) of took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents attacked black residents and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It has been called "the single worst incident of racial violence in American history." The attack, carried out on the ground and from private aircraft, destroyed more than 35 square blocks of the district—at that time the wealthiest black community in the United States, known as "Black Wall Street".
More than 800 people were admitted to hospitals and as many as 6,000 black residents were interned at large facilities, many for several days. The Oklahoma Bureau of Vital Statistics officially recorded 36 dead, but the American Red Cross declined to provide an estimate. A 2001 state commission examination of events was able to confirm 36 dead, 26 black and 10 white, based on contemporary autopsy reports, death certificates and other records. The commission gave overall estimates from 75–100 to 150–300 dead.
Joe Biden has enough delegates to be the Democratic Party's nominee for president. He will face a tough road ahead. Republicans are determined to cheat yet again. Donald Trump and Republicans already proven that in the Georgia primaries.
Democratic candidate Joe Biden has managed to secure the nomination back a week ago, but today I want to proudly state that the former vice president will be the presumptive nominee going into August.
Biden won the Georgia and West Virginia Democratic Primaries.
Biden won West Virginia with nearly 70% of the vote. His opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) who suspended his campaign carried only 15% of the vote while the rest earned the remaining 15%.
Biden won Georgia with 87% of the vote. Sanders won 13% of the vote. The other candidates only managed to get less than .01% of the vote.
He will face off against President Donald J. Trump, the Republican incumbent who is facing criticism and scrutiny throughout his term. Trump's surprise victory has shaken the status quo in American politics. Since he's been in office, the country is divided.
We are facing a global pandemic that has killed over 125,000 Americans. The coronavirus is not going away. The deadly virus has been spiking in the areas where restrictions were eased. Trump's failure to get control of this disease has now put healthcare front and center. Trump and Republicans are still trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.
Gov. Brian Kemp. He was then Secretary of State for Georgia. He oversaw the election results and refused to step aside to focus on his governors race. He literally cheated Democrat Stacey Abrams out of votes in cities like Atlanta, Columbus, Athens, Macon and Savannah.
We are facing civil unrest. The most recent high-profile incidents where Black men and Black women being killed by police and vigilantes has now sparked unrest in many communities. The rage sparked from the George Floyd killing. African Americans are calling for police reform, striping military equipment from cops and holding "bad cops" accountable for their actions. Trump and Republicans have opposed the notion of police reform. Trump has called most protesters, thugs and wants to label antifa a "terrorist" group.
We have an unemployment crisis. There are 45 million Americans out of the labor force. Some states are starting to ease restrictions and some furloughed are returning to a new normal. Private equity has destroyed legendary companies. With COVID-19 still an issue, Walmart, Kroger, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, McDonald's and many national brands have cut hours back and closed stores.
We now have voter suppression and Republicans deliberately trying to keep Americans from voting.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and his secretary of state Brad Raffensperger are under fire this messy primary. Many Georgians had to wait in line for hours to
Georgia voters in urban areas like Atlanta had to wait in line for hours to vote.
Biden's presidential campaign called the situation "completely unacceptable." Georgia Republicans deflected responsibility to metro Atlanta’s heavily minority and Democratic-controlled counties, while President Donald Trump’s top campaign attorney decried “the chaos in Georgia.”
It raised the specter of a worst-case November scenario: a decisive state, like Florida and its “hanging chads” and “butterfly ballots” in 2000, remaining in dispute long after polls close. Meanwhile, Trump, Biden and their supporters could offer competing claims of victory or question the election’s legitimacy, inflaming an already boiling electorate.
At Trump’s campaign headquarters, senior counsel Justin Clark blamed Georgia’s vote-by-mail push amid the COVID-19 pandemic, alluding to the president’s argument that absentee voting yields widespread fraud.
"Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud," read the conclusion of a bipartisan 2005 report authored by the Commission on Federal Election Reform, which was chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker.
That conclusion has been echoed elsewhere. A 2012 article in The New York Times was headlined: "Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises." The article states that "votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show."
Gov. Jim Justice ran as a Democrat to win the West Virginia race. He switched parties shortly after and is now running as a Republican.
Experts have said that a "genuine absentee ballot fraud scandal" is underway in a recent New Jersey city council election. Nevertheless, Twitter and other sites have suggested that mail-in balloting does not increase the risk of fraud, and have sought to censor contrary views.
"The American people want to know that the results of an election accurately reflect the will of the voters,” Clark said. “The only way to make sure that the American people will have faith in the results is if people who can, show up and vote in person."
Rachana Desai Martin, a top Biden campaign attorney, called the scenes in Georgia a "threat" to democracy. "We only have a few months left until voters around the nation head to the polls again, and efforts should begin immediately to ensure that every Georgian — and every American — is able to safely exercise their right to vote," she said.
Martin stopped short of assigning blame, but two Georgia Democrats on Biden’s list of potential running mates pointed at Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who led the selection of Georgia’s new voting machine system and invited every active voter to request an absentee ballot.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms tweeted at Raffensperger about problems in pockets of metro Atlanta. “Is this happening across the county or just on the south end,” the Democrat asked, referring to an area with a heavily black population.
Stacey Abrams, the 2018 Democratic nominee for governor and an Atlanta resident, tweeted that “Georgians deserve better” and that Raffensperger “owns this disaster.” Abrams established herself as a voting rights advocate after she refused to concede her 2018 race against now-Gov. Brian Kemp.
Fulton County, which includes most of Atlanta, has a history of slow vote tabulation. Its local elections chief, Richard Barron, called Tuesday a “learning experience" while alluding to the state's role in the primary process.
A far-right bigot is running for Congress as a Democrat for a seat in New York City.
A right wing bigot is running for a congressional seat as a Democrat.
The New York primary is going to happen in late June. The state had cancelled its Democratic presidential primaries because of COVID-19. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Andrew Yang complained about it and filed a lawsuit to have it held. The federal courts agreed and they ordered for mail-in and in-person voting on June 23, 2020.
The New York primaries for federal representatives and state assembly are active.
Enter the race for New York's 15th U.S. Congressional District.
Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) is retiring due to health concerns from Parkinson's Disease. He represented most of the New York City borough of The Bronx. He served the seat since 2013.
He previously served as the 16th and 18th Congressional District representative. He has been in office since 1991.
His retirement has gotten the attention of many Democrats. One in particular is a polarizing bigot who rocks cowboy hats and has said that he'll vote for Donald J. Trump in the 2020 election.
Ruben Diaz, Sr. is a Puerto Rican born politician who is a member of the New York City Council. He currently represents the 18th district.
Diaz is a controversial Afro-Latino figure. He's a notorious bigot towards the LGBTQ community and supports anti-abortion legislation. Diaz is a Evangelical Christian.
Diaz is one of dozen or so candidates running for the seat.
Ruben Diaz, Sr. is straight up Looney Coon.
His opponents include:
Frangell Basora (Democratic)
Michael Blake (Democratic)
Patrick Delices (Conservative)
Mark Escoffery-Bay (Democratic)
Samelys Lopez (Democratic)
Melissa Mark-Viverito (Democratic)
Orlando Molina (Republican)
Chivona Newsome (Democratic)
Julio Pabon (Democratic)
Tomas Ramos (Democratic)
Ydanis Rodriguez (Democratic)
Kenneth Schaeffer (Working Families)
Marlene Tapper (Democratic)
Ritchie Torres (Democratic)
Scoring a Cook Partisan Voting Index of D+43 in 2014 rendered the district the most Democratic in the nation. Then U.S. Senator John Kerry won 90% of the vote in the 15th congressional district in 2004. In 2012, this was the district scoring the highest percentage of local votes to President Barack Obama: 96.7%. Likewise in 2016 whereby Hillary Clinton received locally a total of 93.8% of the vote.
Diaz is a former state legislator who is emerging as a front-runner in the 12-person contest, with his recognition in the community delivering an advantage in a race where progressive alternatives are fracturing the vote.
His prospects in the June 23 primary have put Democratic officials on edge. If Díaz were to win, he would create a headache for the party and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), handing an otherwise reliable Democratic seat to an apostate who would gleefully buck party leadership.
There are Democrats who voted for Donald J. Trump. There are some Democrats ones who are staunchly anti-abortion, supportive of gun rights, anti-LGBTQ and anti-Muslim. The Democratic Party must expel the bigots from their party.
The Republican Party right now is the party of white nationalism. Why have another one?
The Paramount Network picked up COPS after Fox cancelled the show back in 2013. Paramount Network (then known as SpikeTV) picked up the series and kept it running additional seasons.
"COPS is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return," a Paramount Network spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline.
The long-running COPS premiered on Fox in 1989 and aired for 25 seasons. The show was resurrected in 2013 when Spike TV ordered new episodes. Spike TV rebranded as Paramount Network in 2018, with the docuseries carried over to the new network.
After 33 seasons, the network has permanently cancelled the documentary reality crime/legal television program.

The George Floyd tragedy has sparked fierce debate over police brutality. COPS and Live PD have been in the crosshairs of protesters. The protesters have said these shows glorify police violence and it advocates negative perceptions of people of color.
COPS was slated to premiere yesterday, has been off the air since June 1 when it was pulled with no plans to run any additional episodes. Paramount Network has been moving away from all unscripted programming.
A&E on June 5 pulled last weekend’s episodes of its hit docuseries Live PD amid continued nationwide protests over Floyd’s death. The network still is evaluating the right time to bring it back, though a return this weekend appears unlikely at the moment.
The final day of mourning for the American man who was killed by the Minneapolis Police.
His death set off a chain of events that led to calls for police reform and equal treatment of African Americans.
George Floyd will change the world.
Big Floyd (Perry, Jr. as his family called him) will be laid to rest in Houston, Texas. His resting place will be in the city where he grew up. His body was previously in North Carolina and Minnesota.
In May, Floyd was killed by four dirty cops. One of the cops had his knee on his neck and George was telling them, "I can't breathe" numerous times before he was unconscious. He would later die at the hospital.
Family and celebrities bring the casket of George Floyd into the church.
The Minneapolis Police immediately fired the cops and Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison formally filed criminal murder charges on the cops. The cop who killed Floyd has a hefty cash bond. He was formally indicted on Monday.
The Floyd family invited the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner and Botham Jean to the services.
As #GeorgeFloyd is memorialized today in NC, I can’t help but think of him, his family, and the millions of people who are supporting and honoring him. George’s life mattered. His family’s lives matter. Your lives matter. #RIP George, we miss you, Brother 🙏🏾 #SayHisNamepic.twitter.com/eT7C7QLL30

The funeral is live.
The cops could face 40 to life if they're convicted of these crimes.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The four former Minneapolis cops could face LIFE for the death of George Floyd.
Folks let's not allow leftists like (Jeffery) Shaun King dictate the message. He and many of these Bernie Bros are deliberately trying to sabotage the Democratic Party. They're upset that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) failed to capture the nomination. The leftists are trying to give Republicans talking points that could impact the election.
The "DEFUND THE POLICE"
This new op is going to become a dividing point between Americans. I do believe that we need serious police reform. We need to hold bad cops accountable for their actions.
We can't allow the Bernie Bros hijack Black Lives Matter. They already ruined the MeToo movement with the #IBelieveTaraReade hoax and now they're trying to infiltrate the "No Justice No Peace" movement.
They will try to turn this into a debate over "taxing the rich," giving "Medicare for All," and debating over issues that do not affect the Black community.
Please stop using Shaun King as a source of your outrage. He doesn't represent Black Lives Matter.
He is a grifter, scam artist and a delusional white man trying to pass off as a Black man.
Trump claimed the man shoved to the ground faked the injuries.
BE WARNED THE IMAGES AND VIDEOS ARE GRAPHIC.
The President of the United States tweets a conspiracy theory about the protester who was shoved to the ground by the Buffalo Police. He decided to go after Martin Gugino, the 75-year old man who got seriously injured during a weekend of protest for George Floyd.
Gugino was seen bleeding from his ears when two dirty cops shoved him to the ground.
Donald J. Trump tweeted from a One American News Network agitator who previously worked for the Russian-sponsored Sputnik Media.
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?
Trump, who has called himself "your president of law and order," was once again siding firmly with police over the protesters who have taken to the streets across the country.
With his tweet, Trump attempted to cast doubt on video showing Buffalo police shoving the man, who fell backward and hit his head on the sidewalk. He was seen bleeding from his head as officers walk away.
Trump continues to divide America.
Two Buffalo police officers have been charged with second-degree assault for the incident and could face prison sentences of up to seven years if convicted. They have pleaded not guilty.
The video is one of several that have emerged in recent weeks showing police using seemingly excessive force against protesters who are demanding justice and racial equality following the killing of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody in Minneapolis after a white police officer pressed a knee into his neck.
There is no evidence to suggest that anything of the sort took place.
Totally unnecessary. This elderly man was shoved to the ground for approaching these officers. Buffalo’s police commissioner orderd immediate Internal Affairs investigation into this incident. The elderly man was bleeding from his ears and a possible concussion. pic.twitter.com/WzZ4oZKQUp

As he has tried to malign violent protesters as "radical-left, bad people" engaging in domestic terrorism, Trump has repeatedly invoked the label "antifa," an umbrella term for leftist militants bound more by belief than organizational structure.
Gugino, who is out of the intensive care unit but remains hospitalized, has been described by friends as a retiree and veteran peace activist driven by his faith and a desire for social justice. He is involved with the Western New York Peace Center and Latin American Solidarity Committee, said Vicki Ross, the center's executive director.
Trump tweeted support for two dirty cops who seriously injured a man.
Gugino's attorney, Kelly Zarcone, told The Associated Press that Trump's accusations "are utterly baseless and ridiculous."
Gugino, she said, "has always been a peaceful protester because he cares about today's society."
"No one from law enforcement has even suggested anything otherwise, so we are at a loss to understand why the president of the United States would make such dark, dangerous, and untrue accusations about him. We can confirm that those accusations are utterly baseless and ridiculous,"she said.
The No. 2 Republican in the Senate, John Thune of South Dakota, also criticized Trump's tweet.
"It's a serious accusation, which should only be made with facts and evidence. And I haven't seen any yet," Thune told reporters at the Capitol.
Asked if the president should not be making it, Thune said: "Well, I think that's a given."
Buffalo's mayor Bryon Brown and Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York condemned Trump's tweets.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Comprised of June Pointer, Anita Pointer, Ruth Pointer, Sadako Pointer, Issa Pointer and Bonnie Pointer. The group spanned over four decades with songs that crossover pop, disco, jazz, bebop, electronic, blues, soul, funk, dance, country and rock.
The most popular songs from The Pointer Sisters were, "Jump (For My Love)," "I'm So Excited," "Automatic," and the "Neutron Dance."
It was confirmed that Bonnie Pointer had passed away.
Bonnie Pointer was a successful solo singer.
Her sister Anita confirmed that she passed away Monday morning.
"It is with great sadness that I have to announce to the fans of The Pointer Sisters that my sister, Bonnie died this morning. Our family is devastated, on behalf of my siblings and I and the entire Pointer family, we ask for your prayers at this time."
Bonnie was one of the original members of the group. When the group originated out of Oakland, California, it was just two sisters and Bonnie was the lead singer. She left the group in the mid-1970s to pursue a successful solo career.
She is best known for the single "Heaven Must Have Sent You."
Anita said of Bonnie, "was my best friend and we talked every day, we never had a fight in our life, I already miss her and I will see her again one day."
Bonnie had signed a deal with Motown during the 1970s and 1980s. She released three albums and produced a handful of singles.
Bonnie would appear with her sisters occasionally to sing their greatest hits.
Born Patricia Eva Pointer she was an American singer. She released four albums in her career.
Here's my Monday afternoon thread from The Pointer Sisters and Bonnie.
She was married to Motown producer Jeffrey Brown in 1978. As of 2014, Bonnie separated from Brown and finalized their divorce in 2016.
Tragedy struck in 2006 when June passed away from lung cancer at the tender age of 52.
Her siblings were all by her beside, all except for Bonnie.
The feud deepened when Bonnie appeared on Entertainment Tonight saying the other sisters had not fulfilled the burial wishes for June, instead having her cremated because it was cheaper.
Bonnie also claimed the sisters had not let her ride in the family car at the funeral.
The sisters were estranged from Bonnie until she joined Anita Pointer on the Idol Radio Show in 2007.
And by 2009 Ruth, Anita and Bonnie had reunited with gusto.
Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) stands on Black Lives Matter Plaza. He says those who protesting for police reform and civil rights are the real heroes.
Folks let's not allow leftists like (Jeffery) Shaun King dictate the message. He and many of these Bernie Bros are deliberately trying to sabotage the Democratic Party. They're upset that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) failed to capture the nomination. The leftists are trying to give Republicans talking points that could impact the election.
The "DEFUND THE POLICE"
Muriel Bowser and John Lewis stand in solidarity.
The legendary civil rights leader and lawmaker from Georgia fighting Stage IV cancer made an appearance at Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, DC, to show solidarity with those demanding justice for George Floyd and police reform for our nation's law agencies.
Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) is a hero among Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).
He was a young man when he took to the streets protesting for equal rights and voting rights in the deep south. He was seriously injured, arrested and threatened with lynching during his protesting days.
A man who earned his stripes as a vocal activist comes back to the heart of turmoil and a global pandemic.
Lewis is fighting pancreatic cancer took to the streets to show unison with protesters this weekend.

With their arms crossed in solidarity with the historical movement, Lewis and Bowser took iconic photos on what is now named "Black Lives Matter Plaza." Bowser also shared the moment with her followers on Twitter posting, "We've walked this path before, and will continue marching on, hand in hand, elevating our voices, until justice and peace prevail," she said.
"Thank you for joining me at Black Lives Matter Plaza, in front of the White House."

Lewis still has a lot of impact in the African American community. He has been very critical of Donald J. Trump.
Trump had called Lewis a politician that's "all talk and no action."
Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to......
"Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad," Trump said in 2017.
Joe Biden has pulled a strong support among Black voters. The support from Lewis and Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) helped Biden win the Democratic primaries in the South.
Biden called Lewis, "one of my heroes," praising the courage and sacrifice in the fight for civil rights, especially as a part of the Bloody Sunday marches in Selma, Alabama. The Bloody Sunday march happened in 1965 where civil rights leaders were attacked by the law as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The march across the bridge was a stand against the racism of the South. The Selma to Montgomery march was dangerous.
