Dry Spell!

Workers are returning to their jobs despite fears of spread.
The unemployment rate is out on Thursday instead of Friday due to the 4th of July/Independence Day falling on a weekend.

For the month of June, there were 4.8 million jobs added. That means for the 335.2 million Americans in the 50 states, the five U.S. territories and the District of Columbia, there's a handful of jobs spread across the country. I am guessing that folks are returning back to work despite the COVID-19 pandemic claiming over 150,000 lives.

The Labor Department said in its report, released on Thursday because of the Fourth of July holiday, that employers added 4.8 million jobs in June — the biggest increase on record. Economists surveyed by Refinitiv expected the report, to show that unemployment dropped to 12.3 percent and that employers added 3 million jobs.

May's figure was revised up by 130,000 for the addition of 2.7 million jobs last month. Still, the nation's jobless rate is up 7.6 percentage points compared to the start of the year, when it sat at a half-century low. There are 12 million more out-of-work Americans than compared to February.

Over the course of the past month, every state has started to navigate reopening their economies. But the unemployment level, which is still at the highest level in decades, is expected to remain elevated as social distancing guidelines remain in place, particularly as states fight a resurgence in COVID-19 cases.

Its release comes at the same time as the Labor Department's weekly data on unemployment claims, which showed that another 1.43 million Americans filed for jobless aid last week, indicating that layoffs are continuing to mount. Continuing claims, or the number of Americans who have received aid for more than two weeks, actually increased by 59,000 to 19l.3 million.

There are over 5.2 million Americans affected by the COVID-19.

The unemployment rate drops to 11.1%. What most are considering a W-curve.

So right now, there's got to be 40 million Americans out of work. Still a monumental amount of jobs lost due to the coronavirus.

I returned to work at my job and I am being told that I must wear a facial mask. If I catch COVID-19, they will not pay for time off work and mandate to the state unemployment that I am no longer active if I refuse to return to work. That means the state could pull my unemployment.

The nation has recovered roughly 1/3 of the 22 million jobs lost to the pandemic recession. Although the real numbers are high, the lowering of the unemployment numbers is "good news" for Donald J. Trump and his embattled presidency.
The spread continues because folks ain't following safety instructions.
Let's get this straight: The coronavirus has spiked in 38 states and many of the states are located in the South and West. Many Republican governors will no longer adhere to shutdown orders and facial mask protection.

Despite all that we just want to let you know that jobs are still being lost.

Republicans have signalled they're not willing to help replenish the CARES Act. In their pea-brained minds, Americans are getting lazier because they're getting additional assistance with their state unemployment benefits.

Yes, we made more motherfucking money with unemployment but the risk of returning to work with no proper safety measures and going on "blind faith" is practically dangerous and downright immoral.

With that being said, I am going to say that Trump has a 51% chance of winning.

He still is very unpopular and his legacy will be marred in controversy.

Face masks are now political. Dr. Anthony Fucci is warning Americans that not wearing protection and not taking the coronavirus seriously could spark a second wave. Trump vows to keep the country open despite the likelihood there's a second wave.

Now many facilities are dealing with the fallout of the coronavirus. They are setting up face guards, they reducing facility capacities, cutting hours and making mandatory distancing at businesses.

The class of 2020 lost their opportunity to walk down the aisle with their friends. They lost their opportunity to have a moment in history. Thanks to the coronavirus, for the foreseeable future, Americans will no longer have large graduation ceremonies.

The global economy is struggling. Some believe that the stock market's improvements show that the economy isn't in free fall. Trust me, if you're not aware, the economy is nosediving fast.

We have civil unrest in the country. The police killing of George Floyd has become a catalyst of racial unrest in the nation. Americans are demanding that Trump and Congress pass police reform.

Trump has called himself the "law and order" president. He demanded governors to stop protesters from vandalizing, looting, attacking cops and counter-protesters. He also is going to issue an executive order to make it a mandatory 10-years for destroying a historical statue.

Trump is facing a pandemic, economic crisis, civil unrest and political chaos.

JCPenney is closing nearly 200 locations. The department store chain has filed for Chapter 11 and has ordered the closing of locations that could impact regions already struggling for jobs.
Civil unrest continues in the country.
Chuck E Cheese, the largest indoor family entertainment center is filing for Chapter 11 and has ordered the closing of 80 locations in the United States. The company is struggling because of the coronavirus. With no children and families planning parties it's pretty much a wrap for this longtime fixture of your child's memories.

Golden Corral is also struggling as well. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, the "all you can eat" buffets are no longer in session. That including the Ryan's Steakhouse and bd's Mongolian Grill have seen their foot and establishment traffic down. They're on the bubble right now.

Pier One has authorized Chapter 7 liquidation. The company has announced its closing all of the 400 locations in the United States. By mid-August all locations will no longer be operational.

AMC Theatres has announced that despite some governors opening up movie theaters and drive-ins, the company can't maintain a successful year. They are warning that they may file for bankruptcy.

The Gap is warning that they're going to have another bankruptcy.

With movies and television shows ceasing operations and pushing back movie dates, the entertainment industry is out of work.

Grey's Anatomy, The Flash, Rick and Morty, The Neighborhood, Law & Order, NCIS, FBI, The Rookie, Superstore, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Young Sheldon, The Conners and many of American and Canadian scripted shows are pushed back to Winter. Due to the uncertainty of the coronavirus, many in the entertainment industry are out of jobs.

Many shows are going to silently cancel due to the coronavirus. Even popular shows are at risk of being cancelled due to the coronavirus.



Things that make you go hmmm....!

1. Donald J. Trump becomes the third U.S. President to be impeached while in office. He escapes being removed from office by the U.S. Senate. The Senate rejects witnesses and evidence. They quickly acquitted Trump. The trial offered extensive evidence. Republicans weren't convinced by the evidence and voted to acquit him. This acquittal assures Trump will ask for help from foreign entities yet again. There are allegations that Trump either deliberately ignored the daily presidential briefing about the Russian government handing out money to the Taliban in exchange for the deaths of American soldiers. Trump is still trying to get the federation president Vladimir Putin into the G7 Summit. Putin has gain a victory this week when voters approved extending his term limits past the usual six years. He could be president for life. Trump has denied knowing Russia placing bounties on American troops and called it fake news. He also has face scrutiny over tweeting a video in which a supporter chanted "white power" at protesters. He will celebrate the Independence Day weekend in South Dakota at Mt. Rushmore despite fears fireworks could spark a wildfire and the coronavirus could spread.

2. Joe Biden is the presumptive Democratic nominee. He has clinched the needed amount of delegates to become the nominee. He is has 86% of Democratic support. The former vice president has slowly started campaigning and is wearing a face mask to troll Trump. He is counting on Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and disgruntled Republicans to help motivate voters. The accuser who claims Biden sexually assaulted her in the U.S. Capitol has lost her lawyer and could be in serious trouble in California. That woman is "old news." Now the search is tightening for his running mate. Biden is vetting six women who could emerge as a running mate. Four of the potential picks are women of color. The Trump campaign's "You Ain't Black" failed due to the George Floyd protests. Now, Trump is calling Biden, "senile" and "corrupt." His son Donald Trump, Jr. is still trying with the "Creepy Joe" persona. The "Sleepy Joe" persona isn't really motivating voters to go against a person that is pretty much squeaky clean. The Trump campaign and some leftists are trying the cognitive decline conspiracy theory as their only hope to keep Biden from winning. Note: they are not doctors.
Chuck E Cheese Pizza Theatres may go out of business if things don't turn around..
3. The U.S. has nearly 5 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus. There are over 150,000 Americans who died from the coronavirus. The disease has spread across the states and many individuals are dying from it. Trump is telling the junk food media that the "virus will go away." Some of his top-advisors for his reelection campaign have tested positive for COVID-19. That includes campaign manager Brad Parscale, the controversial agitator responsible for getting Trump back on the campaign trail. The Tulsa rally was a complete failure and the Phoenix rally went off despite Arizona having an 80% spike in coronavirus cases. Trump continues to blame Barack Obama for his failure to get the ball rolling on prevention. Trump deregulations have finally taken a toll. Trump tried to dismantle the Coronavirus Task Force last month. 

4. Brick and mortar stores are shuttering in suburbia. J. Crew and Neiman Marcus have filed for bankruptcy. Papyrus, Modell's Sporting Goods and Art Van Furniture are going out of business and plan on liquidating their businesses. JCPenney, Macy's, Forever 21, Hallmark, Jo Ann Fabrics, Kmart and Sears are on death kneel. Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger are closing stores. Walmart and Kroger are no longer operating stores on a 24-hour format. The Waffle House, a longtime restaurant establishment that never closes has over 549 locations in the country still closed due to the coronavirus. The coronavirus has changed the dynamic of operations in superstores. They are closing stores at 8:30pm, midnight and 1am to eliminate workers. 

5. No one is seeing the results of the Job and Tax Cuts Act and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The Trump Tax Cuts and CARES Act hasn't really improved Americans lives. Congress is still trying to pass more legislation that helps those in the luxury and hospitality industry. Casinos, luxury cruise lines, airlines, hotels and sporting events were the most affected by the coronavirus.

6. Folks affected by COVID-19 are not working. Those who have worked a full-time job or multiple jobs are now forced off because of state order shutdowns. Some have worked one or more jobs to stay afloat. 
Conservatives have claimed that Americans who use the safety net are lazy. They now see the impact of Americans being laid off from their jobs (at no fault of their own). They still are trying to make the argument that folks who are now getting these checks are going to demand more. A measly $1,200 isn't going to help Americans spend. It's going to help them one time with bills and rent. They don't realize that many Americans are working more than 40 hours and are often staying longer hours or working a second job to pay rent, mortgage or vehicle expenses. Insurance rates are up due to Trump rolling back regulations, eliminating the insurance mandate of the Affordable Care Act, and private insurance companies aren't paying for natural disasters and human based disasters. 

7. Trump and his administration are doing subliminal cuts to food stamps, housing credits and disaster relief. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration in their attempts to cut the safety net from immigrants who have American born children and working class families who are struggling to find food in area affected by food deserts, blight and natural disasters.

8. The Supreme Court has protected Roe v. Wade, LGBTQ rights and allowed states to give aid to religious institutions. The Court major decisions also bunted Trump's executive orders and his presidential authority. Trump's attempts to deport immigrants who were brought to the country as children is halted for now. He lost the right to stop an executive order his predecessor Obama issued. The executive order can last up to five years.

9. The U.S. Senate is trying to pass a bipartisan anti-lynching bill. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is considering legislation that would eliminate Columbus Day. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) the lone Black Republican in the senate is trying to pass his version of police reform. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) are working on their version. The House of Representatives have already passed their version of police reform. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has signalled he's not going to take up the matter. He also has no interest in the legislation that would grant the District of Columbia statehood as the Douglass Commonwealth. There are Republican senators who are holding up legislation. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). He, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) are opposing the legislation because of some incompetent grandstanding. Paul survived the coronavirus possibly exposed his staff and senators to the disease. He has opposed most legislation to help unemployed Americans with financial assistance. 

10. Trump has called for sanctions on China. He accused China and the World Health Organization of lying to the world about the impact of the coronavirus. China has warned the U.S. that they will walk away from the trade deal and ban American imports. China is siding with Iran. The Islamic Republic of Iran hasn't forgotten the airstrike that killed General Qasem Soleimani. They are petitioning the United Nations to launch a criminal indictment against Trump, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo and Mark Esper. There is tension between North Korea and South Korea. The North has cut formal negotiations with the South and Trump. The secretive country has been grooming Kim Jong-un's sister Kim Yo-jong to lead if he does step down.

11. Republicans pulled out of Charlotte for their the national convention. Now they're going to host it in Jacksonville, Florida. The largest city in the state is experiencing the highest amount of infections by far. Gov. Ron DeSantis, the controversial governor of the state has vowed to have a packed event despite the infections topping over 60%. The Democrats are going to host a limited national convention. That means there's going to be a virtual convention and Joe Biden in Milwaukee to accept the nomination as well as his potential running mate. The state of Wisconsin seen a 50% increase in coronavirus infections,

12. Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, the European Union has temporarily banned Americans from entry. The 27 nations are in unison of banning Americans from entry because of the country's failure to handle the infection increase.

Nonetheless, some will conclude that Trump's economy is great. We keep hearing 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.
American entertainer Jennifer Anniston does a social media post telling people to wear the damn mask.
No one can wait forever for changes. Congress is made up of old, white and well off politicians.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. With folks not working, the fears of being thrown on the street are live and direct. Folks are struggling to make ends meet as well as landlords, mortgage brokers and those who need the money to repair facilities.

22. SHAMED BY SOCIAL MEDIA

Let me remind you, that Trump and Republicans believe rolling back regulations and austerity are the key factors 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.

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 due to the coronavirus and states pulling out of the Healthcare Marketplace.

The Jobs and Tax Cut Act and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security 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, causing uncertainty in world and is bring chaos wherever he lands.

There is nothing positive about him and the Republican Party.

Lauren Boebert Trumps Scott Tipton!

This waitress named Lauren Boebart defeated a longtime Republican lawmaker.
The far-right candidate trounces the Trump-backed Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO).

Some call her a supporter of the white nationalist conspiracy nonsense called QAnon.

This waitress named Lauren Boebart defeated the five-term Republican lawmaker in a race to see who is more closest to Donald J. Trump. It seems like Tipton wasn't close enough. Boebart is the former co-owner of a local watering hole in Grand Junction called Shooters.



She served her customers wearing a glock on her hip. Sometimes she sports heels and her bust to attract customers. Republicans voted on looks and not character.

She shocked the world by beating Tipton who was backed by Trump.

The 33-year old mother of four embraces far-white ideologies.
Rep. Scott Tipton (R-CO) concedes to a far-white opponent.
Boebart is going to be the nominee for the Colorado 3rd Congressional District. The district is considered SAFE REPUBLICAN.

The woman never ran for office but she is known for her local activism in the community.

When governor Jared Polis ordered businesses to close due to the spread of COVID-19, Boebart ignored the order and continued to serve customers. The state gave her two warnings before they pulled her food and liquor licenses.

She trolled Beto O'Rourke last year. She showed up to an event and grabbed his microphone and yelled at his supporters, "Hell no, you won't take our guns."

She is a supporter the QAnon bullshit. She deeply believes that Congress and the junk food media are deliberately sabotaging Trump. She believes in the Pizzagate nonsense and other conspiracies.

Boebart used the opportunity to take on Tipton when her business was shut down. She felt that Tipton didn't help her cause so she decided to take him on.

Trump did congratulate Boebart on beating Tipton.



Her opponent Diane Mitsch Bush will be interesting. Given her antics, it could make the race closer than she thinks. Once the debates come forth, we'll see if she's still a far-white nut. Because she has to represent 750,000 residents in that district.

Let the games begin.
Far-white candidate Lauren Boebart with her family.
It's best to defeat Republicans in 2020. Donald J. Trump's handling of foreign and domestic problems have been a disaster. He is pretty much running on the culture war. He is hoping that his base of supporters will give him a second chance despite COVID-19, the allegations he ignored presidential briefings about Russian bounties and his handling of unrest in the country.

Over 150,000 Americans died from COVID-19.

There is unrest in America thanks to the police brutality of George Floyd.

The European Union is cancelling American travel and goods which in turn could spark a global recession.

China is pressuring the United Nations to ignore the U.S.

Iran is calling for criminal charges to be filed on Trump, Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo.

Over 50 million Americans are not working right now due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump has no plans for a second term.

Republicans must be defeated and permanently barred from claiming any legacies.



August Alsina: Will Smith Gave Me His Blessing To Sleep With Jada!

August Alsina said that he slept with Jada Pinkett Smith and it was an open secret.
American singer August Alsina said that media mogul and entertainer Will Smith allowed him to sleep with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

According to the singer, the two have an open marriage and he was very clear that Smith allowed it.

E! News has detailed the allegations that stemmed from a song back in 2019.

Jada is the host of Red Table Talks is a media mogul, actress and activist.



In an interview with The Breakfast Club host and celebrity agitator Angela Yee, Alsina stated that  Will "gave me his blessing."

The track in question Nunya:

[Verse]
Why is you textin' me, asking who next to me?
Why you care about who having sex with me?
Now you all on my line, why you pressing me?
’Cause I got her legs open like sesame
What I got cooking with her ain't your recipe
Oh how she on her knees when she blessin' me
With you, girl, I gave you the best of me
But you said to me you wasn’t ready to be what I needed
So I gave you time to make me a priority
Put my feelings out there, you ignored it
Being real is what you can't afford and I paid a lot for it
The time I invested, you can't give it back
You can't get mad at the way I react
You got me feeling like it was an act, you're just an actress
Putting on a show 'cause you don't want the world to know
That you lost a man who loved you all along
Baby, couldn't we just let this go?
Let it go, let it go

[Chorus]
Ain’t nunya business
Ain’t nunya business
To know who I'm with
Or none of my shit
Ain’t nunya business
Ain't nunya business
To know who I'm with
Or none of my shit
None of my shit

[Outro]
Nunya
Nunya
Ain't really your
Nunya
Nunya
None of my shit



While August Alsina claims he was in a years-long relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith while she was married to Will Smith, the actress has issued a denial.

After Alsina spoke publicly about allegedly being romantically involved with the actress, including the claim that her longtime husband gave Alsina his "blessing," Jada's reps have called the claims "absolutely not true," according to Page Six and TMZ. E! News has reached out for comment.
Will and Jada consider themselves "life partners."
The headline-making allegations surfaced this week in an interview between Alsina and Angela Yee, published on YouTube. During the sit-down, the topic of the 27-year-old singer's "Nunya" track came up along with the rumors that he had dated Smith.

"Here's what I'll say," Alsina began in response. "People can have whatever ideas that they like, but what I'm not ok with is my character being in question, when certain things are questionable that I know is not me or that I know I haven't done."

He continued, "Contrary to what some people believe, I'm not a troublemaker. I don't like drama. Drama actually makes me nauseous...I also don't think that it's ever important for people to know what I do, who I sleep with, who I date."

However, the performer clarified, "In this instance, it's very different because as I said, there's so many people that are side-eyeing me, looking at me questionable about it. I've lost money, friendships, relationships behind it and I think it's because people don't necessarily know the truth, but I've never done anything wrong. I love those people."

Seemingly referring to Jada and Will, he added, "I don't have a bad thing to say about them. They are beautiful people."

The singer said he didn't have a choice but to express his truth after his life and wellness were being affected.

"I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership that they've spoken on several times and it not involving romanticism," he alleged.

"He gave me his blessing and I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life and I truly and really, really deeply loved and have a ton of love for her. I devoted myself to it. I gave my full self to it so much so to the point that I can die right now and be ok with knowing that I truly gave myself to somebody."
Will Smith is one of the richest Black entertainers. He is worth an estimated $350 million.
Alsina continued to pour his heart out, telling Yee, "I really loved a person, I experienced that. I know what that feels like and some people never get that in this lifetime, so I know that I'm completely blessed."

As for why Alsina stayed silent about the alleged relationship, "I never want to be the person to cause confusion because I love these people," he said. "I really genuinely do and I have literally never been in love in that kind of a way, so much so that being intertwined in that way—walking away from it butchered me."

He further said that the alleged split "probably will be the hardest thing that I've ever experienced in this lifetime."

"I want to honor myself and I want to honor my authenticity," Alsina said. "If honoring my authenticity means you hate me, stone me, shoot me, crucify me, whatever—bury me an honest man."



Fox Fires Ed Henry Out The Cannon!

Ed Henry gets fired out the cannon over allegations of sexual abuse.
Political agitator Ed Henry is back in the unemployment line. Fox News has fired him out the cannon.

Years ago, CNN had fired Henry for allegations of sexual misconduct. It seems like he never learned his lesson. On Wednesday, Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace has wrote that Henry was "suspended the same day and removed from his on-air responsibilities" while a third-party law firm investigated the matter.

"Based on investigative findings, Ed has been terminated," they said.

Scott and Wallace said that "rotating anchors" will fill in for Henry who served as co-anchor of the channel's morning show, America's Newsroom, until a permanent replacement is named.

"Fox News Media strictly prohibits all forms of sexual harassment, misconduct, and discrimination."

Scott and Wallace added, "We will continue striving to maintain a safe and inclusive workplace for all employees."

Henry couldn't be reached for comment.

The high-profile attorney Douglas Wigdor, who represented scam-artist Alexandra Tara Reade Moulton McCabe is representing a legitimate accuser. Wigdor said that his isn't sharing information about the accuser or the allegations at present time.

The cannon firing stunned the folks over at Fox News.

It was swift and brutal.

Henry joined Fox News in 2011 after years over at CNN. He covered the Obama administration as Fox's chief White House correspondent. He would be the gadfly at the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in 2016.

He would end up being placed in the freezer in 2016. He had allegedly had an extramarital affair.

The network was doing damage control when it's then boss Roger Ailes was forced out after allegations of sexual abuse dogged him.

Henry would eventually get back in the saddle after that scandal. He would be guest hosting on Fox & Friends Weekend, Sucker Tucker and Softball Hannity's shitshow.

My question to the people here, why haven't they fired Sean "Softball" Hannity out the cannon?

He is not invincible!

Dre is worth nearly $1 billion in revenue.

Nicole is being represented by Samantha Spector and is seeking spousal support from Dre.

According to reports obtained by Fox News, Dre and Nicole have no prenuptial agreement in place and the rapper's earning might not be in play.

Perhaps one of the most recognizable entertainers in music, Dr. Dre is the one of the founding members of the hip-hop group N.W.A.

He along with Eazy E, Ice Cube, DJ Yella and MC Ren paved the way for hip-hop in the west. They achieved monumental success with their album Straight Outta Compton. The album promote a single that had gotten attention from the Los Angeles Police Department, Congress and then president George H.W. Bush. The song, Fuck Tha Police became an anthem to Black men frustration with cops brutalizing them in the Los Angeles area and its inner suburbs like Compton.






Dr. Dre left Ruthless Records after a fallout with Eazy E and went onto create Death Row Records with former bodyguard turned media mogul Marion "Big Suge" Knight.

His album The Chronic sold over 8 million copies. It introduced the world to a teenage rapper who helped Death Row built its representation as a gangsta rap label.

The two introduced the world to Calvin Cozier Broadus (aka Snoop Doggy Dogg) and launched one of the most controversial and successful record labels of the mid-1990s.

Bringing on Tupac Shakur proved to be a big success and also controversy. Shakur became the first rap act to succeed in earning a diamond rating for his album All Eyez on Me which was his first album since he signed to Death Row. With Dr. Dre producing a handful of his songs, it help push Tupac into the mainstream.

Dre would end up having a fallout with Suge and left Death Row to start up Aftermath Entertainment.

Death Row would soon fall apart after Tupac was shot and killed in Las Vegas in 1996. Snoop would leave the label and many of the acts would leave shortly after.

Suge is now in the iron college for 50 years for manslaughter.

Dre would see modest success with Nas, Foxy Brown, Dawn Robinson and Az's group The Firm.

The Firm broke up and left soon after.

His biggest success was the white Detroit rapper Marshall Mathers III (known as Eminem). So far, Eminem has became one of the most successful acts on the label. He is also the most controversial rappers in modern history.

Eminem rise helped 50 Cent become successful on Aftermath. 50's success helped his label G-Unit, The Game and Young Buck succeed before the huge fallout.

Kendrick Lamar, an artist on Top Dawg Entertainment would join the label and released five critically acclaimed albums.

Dre also had signed on Oxnard rapper Anderson.Paak to the label. The singer has released two albums on the label.

Dre has released three albums on Interscope. The Chronic, 2001 and Compton.



We Just Leaving Walmart And This White Mob Surround Our Car Thinking It Was Stolen!

White woman caused an uproar for a Black family. She claimed that a Black father stole a vehicle. Other white people try to stop him by any means necessary.
Somehow some folks constantly believe Black people are prone to theft and violence. Yet, when it's proven they're not commit criminal acts, white people continue to hold onto their stereotypical biases.

A Black father and children were in a Walmart parking lot in Spokane, Washington. They were minding their business when all of a sudden, a group of white people confront them.

Footage taken from outside the Walmart shows Lee Allen being harassed by a white woman and three white men over allegations he stole a vehicle from them.

His daughter in the back seat, records the footage while crying as the white group tries to yank her dad out the vehicle.

The woman, who was riding a push bike and wearing a crucifix, claimed the car was her property as she stood in the front of the vehicle blocking the way.




She shouts at Allen: "This is my car. How did you get this car?"

"I don't want violence, I just want to know how did you get this car?"

"She said, 'he's trying to steal my car!' So I got out, walked over there and opened the door," Miller said. "I said 'hey, this lady said you're stealing her car.'"

The Spokane County Sheriff's Office said the woman believed the driver had stolen her car, but it wasn't true.
Spokane County Sheriff is considering charging these people for this incident.
Allen then attempted to drive past her and then two other men come toward his vehicle and demand him to get out of his vehicle.

This happened in February but ended up being shared in March.

Allen kept pleading to the white group that he owns the vehicle and he doesn't understand why they bothering him. So as he is trying to get away from the group, a white man then jumps onto his vehicle and latches on the hood.

"I knew I was going to keep my kids protected no matter what," Allen said. "If all else fails, I could just step on that gas pedal and shoot out like a rocket somewhere, but at the same time I didn't want to hurt anybody."
The man caught on camera shouting at Lee Allen is ashamed of his actions. He apologized for actions. He still could face criminal charges though.
 Lawton Miller one of the people in the video was ashamed of his actions. He was the guy who had his hand slammed by Allen's door. Miller said he was planning to back off and let Allen leave until the situation changed again.

"This kid jumps on the car. What do I do now? I've got to get this kid off the car," Miller said. "I don't know if this guy knows it who's driving this car, (but) if this kid falls off and he runs over and kills that kid, he's going to prison for murder. He's no good to his family anymore."

Miller said that's why he decided to start chasing the car on his motorcycle. He said he blared his horn, flashed his lights and pulled up alongside Allen to try and stop him so the man on the hood could get off. Miller said he didn't set out to scare Allen or his family, and said he has children and grandchildren himself.

"I don't harm kids. I raised a daughter. I am a family man," Miller said. "I'm not no big bad biker. I'm grandpa with a bike, and I've got pictures with me and my grandsons on the bike."

Miller said he's been threatened online since the video was posted. He says he's not worried for himself, but he is worried for his family. He said he wants Allen and his family to know he's sorry.

"I've got to stay away from my family all together because I'm afraid somebody else might take it in their own hands and do something to my family," Miller said. "This video comes out and she says 'dad I love you but I don't want to know you now.'"

Spokane County Sheriff's Office deputies said they don't expect Miller to be charged with anything related to the incident.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

DC 51!

Washington, DC could become the nation's 51st State.
The House of Representatives have passed a resolution that paves the way to make The District of Columbia, the 51st American state.

Washington, DC's current population is 710,000 residents. This federal district has a population greater than Wyoming. It is the federal capital of the United States.

The Douglass Commonwealth will replace the District of Columbia, to pay homage to civil rights/abolitionist pioneer Fredrick Douglass and eliminate the naming after Christopher Columbus.

The Democratic-led House of Representative voted in favor of making the federal district a state.

The bill, aptly named "H.R. 51" passed mostly on a party line vote of 232-180. One Democrat, the conservative Rep. Colin Peterson (D-MN) vote against it. He also voted against impeaching Donald J. Trump.

The bill, which now heads to the Republican-majority Senate, would allow for the admission of a new state, called Washington, Douglass Commonwealth, which will grant the proposed state two senators and likely one U.S. Representative. The state will establish state governorship and dissolve the mayor's role into just being a municipality role instead of a semi-governor role.

The state will be establish with a federal buildings and monuments solely in place of the U.S. government.

The bill will likely not pass through with Republicans in control and Trump will veto the legislation if it does pass.

The last time a statehood bill came through the House it was in 1993. It failed in the House.

Washington, DC mayor Muriel Bowser praised the decision.

"I was born without representation, but I swear -- I will not die without representation. Together, we will achieve DC statehood, and when we do, we will look back on this day and remember all who stood with us on the right side of history."

Republicans oppose DC statehood for two reasons. They believe it will give Democrats an advantage in the Senate.

The residents of Washington, DC are allowed to vote in the presidential election.
Muriel Bowser is pushing hard for DC Statehood.
The District of Columbia statehood movement is a political movement that advocates making the District of Columbia a U.S. state. The District of Columbia is a federal district under the direct jurisdiction of the United States Congress. Statehood would grant the District voting representation in the Congress and full control over local affairs. For most of the modern (1980-present) statehood movement, the new state's name would have been "New Columbia", although the Washington, D.C. Admission Act of 2020 refers to the proposed state as "Washington, Douglass Commonwealth."

Statehood for the District, which is also known as District of Columbia, might be achieved by an act of Congress, under the power granted to Congress by the United States Constitution to admit new states to the Union (Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1). However, there is some debate as to whether simple legislation would be sufficient to grant statehood to District of Columbia, which is the seat of the United States federal government.

There are five U.S. territories that are inhabited. Each territory has a U.S. Representative who acts as a non-voting delegate. They have no voting rights on the general floor. They only have committee voting and assignments.

The Americans who live in the U.S. territories of Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands cannot vote in the presidential election even though they're American citizens. The people of American Samoa are U.S. nationals and are not considered American citizens. They have to have special passports to enter the United States and cannot vote in the presidential election.

Note: American Samoans follow a Samoan culture which is totally independent of the U.S. government and laws. If the U.S. Supreme Court grants citizenship to those living in American Samoa, those who live outside of the territory can legally sue for land rights. Samoans have a controversial conservative culture. American Samoa is the only U.S. territory with its own immigration system (a system separate from the United States immigration system).

American Samoa also has a communal land system in which ninety percent of the land is communally owned; ownership is based on Samoan ancestry.

Amy McGrath Beats Bernie-Backed Charles Booker!

Amy McGrath beats Charles Booker.
Amy McGrath beats Charles Booker. She will take on Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Majority Leader of the Senate and Donald J. Trump's most reliable ally.

The polls have the race as LIKELY REPUBLICAN but we can change that if we get out to vote and put McGrath in the Senate.

The retired Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath narrowly beats Kentucky state representative Cory Booker in a race that would have determined if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) had an impact in the direction of the Democratic Party.

Booker, an African American state lawmaker from Louisville was hoping to capitalize off the Breonna Taylor tragedy. He was experiencing heavy turnout in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green and Fulton.

Booker got endorsements from controversial agitators like Cenk Uygur, Briahna Joy Gray, Nina Turner, (Jeffery) Shaun King, Benjamin Dixon and David Sirota. These were the leftists agitators who backed Sanders.

Leftists websites Common Dreams, The Intercept and The Nation were pushing bullshit about McGrath in order to generate support among Booker.

I seriously believed that Russian propaganda played a role and McConnell, himself was hoping to use Booker as a scapegoat.

In the end, McGrath who was doing reasonably well in rural Kentucky pulls off a victory.
Charles Booker's rise to fame came from endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
This comes as a warning to Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ro Konna (D-CA). Their push to make the Democratic Party more progressive is going to be a turnoff to progressives, moderates and even some conservative Democrats. Their push for Medicare for All and taxing the rich isn't motivating voters. The coronavirus has pretty much eliminated any consideration of a Bernie Sanders-inspired agenda.

No one wants his agenda.

Republicans already paying the price for being too conservative and embracing Donald J. Trump.

They have shown themselves to by highly hypocritical towards their beliefs due to the fact they endorsed and supported a man who is not a Christian. A man who has no family values. A man who is willing to sacrifice his own country for the amusement of foreign dictators.

Booker's surge was not expected but it did give McGrath a run for her money. She was close to being defeated. The projections of the results shows that McGrath beat Booker by only 4%.

McGrath ran against Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) in 2018 and narrowly lost to him.
Mitch McConnell will fight dirty and continue to tag his Democratic opponents as too extreme for Kentucky.
McGrath now has raised millions of dollars for the Senate race and has the backing of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

"I'm humbled that Kentucky Democrats have nominated me to take on Mitch McConnell in the general election and can't wait to get started in sending him into retirement and finally draining the toxic Washington political swamp that he built. I want to congratulate Charles Booker for his very impressive result, and also to Mike Broihier for stepping into this arena and making his passionate voice and ideas heard. I am proud to have competed against these men and, undoubtedly, doing so made me a better candidate. I hope I can rely on them for their help, guidance and advice for the fight ahead of us."

McGrath is willing to at least take Booker's advice on how to win over voters. That's a good step ahead.
