The world's oldest conjoined twins Ronnie and Donnie Galyon has passed away.
Conjoined twins who lived in Dayton, Ohio passed away. The two were considered the oldest living at present time.
Ronnie and Donnie Galyon were inducted in the 2009 Guinness World Records as the oldest living set of conjoined twins in the world. They surpassed Giacomo and Giovanni Battista Tocci.
They were born in Dayton, Ohio in 1951 to Wesley and Eileen Galyon.
The two were joined at the sternum to the groin and shared a set of organs. After a two year stint at the hospital, the doctors determined that the two boys couldn't be safely separated.
They were of nine children. The family had struggled. So in order to get notoriety, their father introduced them to the world of carnie.
The two were considered a sideshow attraction. They were exhibited throughout the U.S. and Latin America. They were celebrities and it helped their family. They reached 18 and wanted to serve the military. They were not emitted to the U.S. Army under 4-F.
They continue to tour the country and tell their story about how struggling as conjoined twins wasn't a curse but a blessing.
Ronnie and Donnie toured the country and telling their story.
They had continued to tour the country until their retirement in 1991. With the earnings, the two would purchase a house in the Dayton area and live their lives in peace.
Ronnie would develop a life threatening infection in his lungs and it would have endangered the life of Donnie. After their hospitalization, the would need round-the-clock care. Their younger sibling, Jim and his wife Mary would help them generate an outpour of support for them to get a handicap accessible addition to their home.
The twins died in hospice Saturday. It was confirmed by the junk food media on Tuesday.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) is being called anti-American by Fox News.
Fox News is a part of the problem in America.
The far-white network shameless. Australian-American billionaire Rupert Murdoch is a creepy old pervert. And like Murdoch, his views of the world are bigoted. He and Roger Ailes created Fox News as an alternative to the perceived liberal bias in American news. The network was launched in 1997.
Since its launch it has became one of the country most watched cable channels. The commentators are strongly opinionated and very vocal about opposition towards change.
The primetime roster are a set of controversial agitators who go way too far in their rants about America and the right to dissent.
With the coronavirus and racial unrest front and center, Fox News is doing its best to distract us from the rising infections and ongoing unrest in Donald J. Trump's America.
Even the Trump campaign is trying to make unrest under his watch the fault of Joe Biden. We'll cover this controversy soon.
Okay, Tucker Carlson is the No. 1 watched program. He bested the annoying Sean "Softball" Hannity in the primetime ratings.
Tucker Carlson Tonight is now the most watched cable news program. Like the washed up Bill O'Reilly, Carlson has often tried this attempt at demonizing opponents of Trump and conservatism.
Enter Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL). She is considered a viable choice for Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee.
The first Thai-American woman, veteran and double amputee to be elected in the U.S. Senate. She served as a Lt. Colonel for the U.S. Army. She suffered life-altering injuries after suffering combat wounds in the Iraq War.
She became a U.S. Senator in 2017 after beating Republican Mark Kirk.
It seems like "Sucker" Tucker is not impressed about her.
Here's what Tucker said about Tammy Duckworth tonight that prompted her fiery response:
"Most people just ignore her. But when Duckworth does speak in public, you're reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is... These people actually hate America." pic.twitter.com/yKZVNfwYFC
"You're not supposed to criticize Tammy Duckworth in any way because she once served in the military," said Carlson. "Most people just ignore her. But when Duckworth does speak in public, you're reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is."
Duckworth appeared on GOP Sundays. She spoke on CNN's State of the Union about the calls to remove Washington statues. She said there should be a national dialogue about removing statues.
Carlson attacked her.
Tucker Carlson facing an advertising boycott.
"It's long been considered out of bounds to question a person's patriotism. It's a very strong charge, and we try not to make it. But in the face of all of this, the conclusion can't be avoided. These people actually hate America. No longer a question about that. And yet at the same time, they desperately want to control America more than anything. And that leads to the most basic of all questions: Can you really lead a country that you hate?"
It seems like Carlson came for the noise. Duckworth clapped at his white ass.
Does @TuckerCarlson want to walk a mile in my legs and then tell me whether or not I love America?
She basically without saying it.... She called Carlson a privileged turd.
She fought his right to be a dickhead.
Trump has became fixated on jailing protesters who deface or destroy statues. Fox News seems to be following along with Trump on labeling Black Lives Matter and those in antifa as a menace.
It seems like Carlson was riled up about protesters demanding the removal of George Washington statues. Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and others owned slaves and were brutal towards indigenous people.
Duckworth addressed the Trump speak at Mount Rushmore. She said that he had his "priorities all wrong" and accused him of spending "more time worried about honoring dead Confederates" than discussing the Americans who have died during the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump hosted the event in South Dakota despite warnings that having large rallies could expose Americans to the coronavirus.
The New York woman who called the law on a birdwatch faces criminal charges.
I am only going to mention her name once. After the public shaming and ridicule, the woman who called the law on a Black birdwatcher is now facing criminal charges for making a false call to 9-1-1.
Amy Cooper is going to be criminally charge for making a false police report.
She got into a heated confrontation with Christian Cooper, a Black birdwatcher who asked her to put a leash on her dog. The two are not related.
The woman is a white financier who called the New York Police Department on Cooper after he told her that having a dog off the leash is restricted around the bird sanctuary.
Christian Cooper has not accepted the apology from the woman who accused him of attacking her.
"Today our officer initiated a prosecution of the subject for falsely reporting an incident in the third degree," said Cyrus Vance, the Manhattan District Attorney who decided to push for criminal charges.
"We are strongly committed to holding perpetrators of this conduct accountable."
The woman was given a desk appearance ticket and will be arraigned in October.
If convicted, she could be given a conditional discharge or sentenced to community control or counseling rather than time in the iron college.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

You can't fix stupid stories.
You can't change a person's mind stories.
How to ignore trolls.
Well, here we go again. Two for you!
Let's begin in Ohio where two Little Caesars pizza employees to fired out the cannon after they decided to play practical joke on each other. However, the joke backfired in a major way. The pizza they were making was sent out to a family and they were shocked to see the design of the food.
They saw a swastika on their pizza.
The pepperoni pizza was designed with the Nazi symbol and the Ohio couple that found it was really shocked to see that. They took a picture of the pizza, shared it on social media and got international news coverage.
The Hot N' Ready pizza was purchased by Jason Laska and he bought it from the Brook Park location. The city is near Cleveland.
His wife, Misty opened the book and made the discovery.
The Hot N' Ready pizzas are pepperoni and cheese brands. They are often made and ready for pickup for customers upon entry.
"I was like they didn't cut our pizza, but then I stepped back for a second and I saw the symbol. And I looked at him and I was like "Hold on, did you have to order fresh pizza or something?'" Misty Laka said to the local junk food media.
The pair immediately contacted the restaurant which closed moments earlier. The owner of the franchise called the couple back and found out that the employees on duty confessed to making the pizza. They and the night manager were fired out the cannon and he apologized.
He said that the internal joke was inappropriate. He said the employees didn't intend to send out the pizza.
The Laskas said they're done with Little Caesars for the time being. The company also weighed in by telling the public that it has a zero tolerance to racism, discrimination, vulgarity, and misuse of products. They formally ordered the owner to clean up his franchise, retrain workers and told them that any lawsuits filed will be sent directly to him and the not the company.
Now let's head down to Georgia. There's two Jimmy Johns workers fired out they were filmed staging a mock lynching with a noose made of bread dough while wishing followers a happy 4th.
This incident was filmed and it shows two white employees in a Woodstock, Georgia store mocking a lynching.
A Snapchat video shows the two reportedly making a noose of bread dough and placing the product over the neck of a worker and yank it as it was to hang him.
Jimmy Johns Employees made a noose out of a Pizza dough and did a mock lynching.
1. This is Racist and sad.
2. You are going to be eating a Pizza made out of this dude's sweaty neck. (Public Health Issue) pic.twitter.com/hr3NFElQMT
— A Black Socialist 🌹🏴☠️ (@SonOfAssata) July 6, 2020
The third employee who is also white was seen laughing and mocking the two while filming the incident.
The viral video was shared by the fourth person behind the counter at the store who added the patriotic "Happy 4th of July" sticker when it was originally posted to Snapchat.
Twitter users quickly got the video and shared it online and it became an international story.
Dough noose got four people fired out the cannon.
Jimmy John's confirmed that the employees, the manager and the person filming were fired out the cannon after this incident. The company said that incident is not condoned by their franchises or company owned properties. The misuse of food is also troubling. The company will have to have all that food destroyed, they will have to sanitize the store and retrain old and new employees.
Time is wasted. Of course, the fired will be billed for any damages to property.
The incident keeps the pressure on companies to denounce racism. Since the George Floyd tragedy, it's opened up a wound that appears to not be closing.
Donald J. Trump has agitated it more now that he's front-and-center in the battle for equality. He started attacking NASCAR racer Bubba Wallace.
Their stupid prank not only cost the company money but a reputation.
Wallace's pit crew found a noose in his garage and it immediately got reported. The U.S. Justice Department confirmed that noose existed but it imposed no threat to Wallace or any member of his crew.
NASCAR has denounced the garage and considered the incident real. But to Trump and the far-white, Bubba Wallace is the new Jussie Smollett.
We got a long way to go.
You can't fix stupid.
You continue to endorse stupid!
Protecting stupid seems to be a things here!
You vote for stupid!
You're going to end up stuck on stupid!
Reminder: You can't fix stupid. You keep electing stupid. The whole world is stupid. We watch stupid. We are living with stupid. We work with stupid. We continue to embrace stupid.
Again, why would you want to risk your reputation, your job, your health, your freedom, your finances and your life for click bait?
Rules are made for a reason. Rules are there for the safety of yourself and others.
MAGA-singer Charlie Daniels passed away. The guy who is best known for his one-hit wonder, Devil Went Down To Georgia is a popular country-rock song.
Daniels suffered from a hemorrhagic stroke. He passed away at the age of 83.
He was a good friend of Sean "Softball" Hannity, the most annoying media personality in the country.
A statement from his publicist said the Country Music Hall of Famer died on Monday after suffer a severe stroke.
He had suffered a mild stroke in 2010 and had a heart pacemaker implanted in 2013 but continued to perform for small venues and conservative themed events.
Daniels was a performer for the Freedom Concerts, a scam founded by Oliver North, Softball Hannity and operatives. The concerts were held a local venues to promote conservative lawmakers and policies.
Softball Hannity would emcee the event and have performers like Daniels, Hank Williams, Jr., Ted Nugent, John Rich and others perform. They all would pocket thousands of dollars while the charity group the Freedom Alliance would donate portions of the money to children of fallen American troops.
The Freedom Alliance would end up falling apart after it was exposed a fraud. Many of the children only got less than $1,000 in scholarship donations.
Daniels would be sponsoring that bullshit charity as well.
On to his passing.
Daniels, a singer, a guitarist and fiddler, started as a session musician, even playing on Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline sessions.
In the early-1970s, his five-piece band toured endlessly, sometimes doing 250 shows a year.
He was known for his edgy, early music that raised eyebrows in Nashville. He also was known for songs like Long Haired Country Boy and Uneasy Rider.
He soften some of his verses in the 1990s and in 2008 he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.
He said in 1998 that he kept touring so much because "I have never played those notes perfectly. I've never sung every song perfectly. I'm in competition to be better tonight than I was last night and to be better tomorrow than tonight."
Daniels said his favorite place to play was "anywhere with a good crowd and a good paycheck."
Daniels was an avid hunter, fisher and outdoorsman. He was a member of the NRA and had performed in commercials and online advertising for the gun lobby.
He was married to Hazel and has one son, Charlie Daniels, Jr.
He was born in 1936 in Wilmington, North Carolina and died in Hermitage, Tennessee, a former city now incorporated as a neighborhood of Nashville.
An off-duty cop shoots at an fleeing motorist over alleged shoplifting.
BE WARNED THE VIDEOS ARE GRAPHIC.
In the nearby Oklahoma City suburb of Del City, an off-duty Langston University cop opened fire on a man suspected of shoplifting after a brief altercation.
Once again, cops becoming executioners.
This footage was seen on social media showing an unknown cop shooting into the vehicle of a person leaving a local Walmart.
The video taken on Saturday shows the cop firing over a dozen times into a car.
Del City Police confirmed that they are investigating the incident.
Neither the shooting victim, who is understood to have been taken to a local hospital in stable condition, or the the off-duty cop involved were named. The man shot was a Black male.
He was attempting to leave the store with more than he had paid for.
This off-duty cop working for the Langston University is understood to also work at the Walmart as security is where this happened.
The clip was posted on social media shows the two men engaging in a struggle before the man attempted to drive away. With driver's door still open, the cop opens fire, shooting at the vehicle a number of times before the car drives away.
‼️LANGUAGE WARNING‼️
Del City Police say off-duty Langston officer opened fire on Del City Walmart shoplifting suspect — PD says man is currently in the hospital, expected to be ok. @koconewspic.twitter.com/zLkDyEHFp1
One witness said that the cop shot like it was like no one else existed.
"I was standing at a 45-degree angle from where the shots were fired. If I was in the wrong place, I could have been a target as well," said Shannon Hicks.
Del City Police Commander Bradley Rule said: "The suspect was hit. He received non-life threatening injuries. He arrived at the hospital and we have detectives there now speaking to him."
The incident started over food products. Allegedly the man who purchased some of the products for a barbeque. The incident was unprovoked.
Langston University officials said in a statement: "The officer was not performing duties on behalf of [the university] at that time of the incident."
A Walmart spokesperson said that the company is working with law enforcement and are conducting a review on how this incident happened.
They shot at this black man’s car yesterday 11 TIMES because he didn’t show Walmart security his receipts. There’s the receipts. This happened in Del City, Oklahoma yesterday. The officer needs to be behind bars, no reason for 11 shots to be fired. (video below)#BlackLivesMatterpic.twitter.com/mOLXSunPJf
The status quo of politics continues to allow the rule of law for two factions: White and Black.
Every day, 100 Americans are killed with guns and hundreds more are shot and injured. The effects of gun violence extend far beyond these casualties—gun violence shapes the lives of millions of Americans who witness it, know someone who was shot, or live in fear of the next shooting.
Walmart may have to reconsidered hiring armed security after an incident at a Del City location went awry.
We have a global pandemic that is killing 150,000 Americans. The coronavirus deaths are still happening and folks are not social distancing. We have an economic recession. With the coronavirus spreading from coast to coast, many companies are closing up for good and placing Americans out of work. They are over 45 million Americans out of work. There are thousands of Americans who are being killed by gun violence. Everyday at least 95 people died from gun violence. I can't even tell you how many stories I've missed involving gun violence in the country.
WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK MAN JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS. NOW A BLACK MAN FLEEING AN ARRESTING OFFICER COULD BE KILLED. WHETHER THEY'RE IN THEIR VEHICLE OR RUNNING FROM THEM. THE COPS WILL SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP HIS PAST HISTORY, HIS SOCIAL MEDIA OR HIS FAMILY LIFE. MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM? WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I OFTEN REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS.
We have unrest in the nation. African Americans and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and the law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."
Cop shot everything.
No amount of criminal acts this man done justified that cop's actions. It's has frustrated me to hear folks like Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Leo Terrell, Jesse Lee Peterson, Terrence K. Williams, Kevin Jackson, Diamond & Silk and Allen West defend the actions of bad cops and white vigilantes.
And of course, leftists like Cornel West, Nina Turner, Jeffery Shaun King, Benjamin Dixon and Killer Mike. These coons are trying to infiltrate the debate with "pie in the sky" policies from a failed presidential candidate. They are deliberately sabotaging the Democratic Party's chances of winning the election. Black voters picked their nominee and these coons are trying to sow discourse to white progressives and young voters.
I don't give a fuck about someone's past encounters with police. That doesn't justify the death of anyone.
Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP! I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD! GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
Iconic Italian composer and writer Ennio Morricone passed away in Rome.
The Academy Award-winning composer known for composing the themes to The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly, and The Untouchables died at the age of 91.
According to the Associated Press, Morricone, who recently broke his leg in a fall, died in a Rome hospital after experiencing complications from his injury. He asked for a private service.
During Morricone's decades-long career, he composed the scores to over 400 films, including some in the the "Spaghetti Western" movies. He won a lifetime achievement Academy Award in 2007, and he has received the best original score Oscar in 2016 for his work on Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight movie.
Morricone's composition credits include Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers and Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America.
He was born in Rome in 1928.
Ennio Morricone, ORMI, known as Maestro, Dan Savio and Leo Nicholas was an Italian composer, orchestrator, conductor, and trumpet player who wrote music in a wide range of styles.
He was married to Maria Travia and has four children. His son, Andrea is composer and conductor.
He has lived in Italy his entire life and never had any desires to live in Hollywood.
In the 2008 Universal Studios fire, a portion of Morricone's work was destroyed.
He fought this coronavirus to the very end. The Broadway entertainer who made the news after testing positive for COVID-19 has passed away on Sunday. His wife, Amanda Kloots announced his passing on Sunday.
Tony Award-winning entertainer Nick Cordero died on Sunday morning at the age of 41.
On social media, Kloots announced her husband has went to heaven.
"God has another angel in heaven now," Kloots said on social media. "My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left his earth."
Cordero is survived by his wife and 1-year old son, Elvis.
Celebrities offered sympathy to the family. Ben Stiller, Bernadette Peters, Zach Braff, Lin-Manuel Miranda and others took to social media to share their memories of Cordero and felt that
Cordeo was tested positive back in March and went into the hospital shortly after. Conditions worsen for him and he had a stroke and they had to amputate his right leg after symptoms led to blood clots and major lung damage.
Nicholas Eduardo Alberto Cordero was born in 1978 in Hamilton, Ontario. He was known for his stage roles on Broadway. He was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his Cheech in the 2014 Broadway musical Bullets Over Broadway and was twice nominated for the Drama Desk Awards. His career also included television and film roles.
He was living in the United States with his wife and son. He passed away in Los Angeles.
Here's a map.
Take this shit seriously. Do not consider ignoring COVID-19 as just the flu or a common cold. This is a newly discovered disease that has mutated into something worse than what it's seems.
We have seen over 5 million people be infected by this. We have lost over 150,000 Americans to the coronavirus. We have no vaccines or specific antiviral treatments for COVID-19.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.
1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs). Most states require essential workers and those in food service must continue to wash their hands frequently. If any employee is caught not washing their hands in this pandemic, they could be fired out the cannon.
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes). I know that it's hard to not rub your eyes, pick your nose, sneeze or cough without covering your mouth. I've done it. But if it's possible try to restrain yourself by the temptation of touching your face. Even engaging in social romance which is kissing could be risky.
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
5. If you're sick, please stay home. You could spread the disease to others and trust me, you could face legal ramifications if you're sick and you deliberately showing up to work.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
The coronavirus took away a family. Amanda Kloots announced that her husband, actor Nick Cardero passed away from the coronavirus.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it. Trump was briefed about this in his Presidential Daily Briefings. He chose to ignore the coronavirus. He continues to hold large gatherings despite warnings that those who fail to social distance or wear facial protection will be affected. Herman Cain, Kimberly Guilfoyle and many of his Secret Service agents have tested positive for this. Campaign manager Brad Parscale and Donald Trump, Jr. has been likely exposed to the coronavirus due to their association with folks testing positive.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.
According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats,shortness of breath, persistent coughing, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this.
If you need more information, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at cdc.gov.
Gun violence is a major problem in the United States. Trump ain't stopping it.
We have so much shit going on in the United States. We have an incompetent president named Donald J. Trump, Sr. He is the 45th President of the United States. He is hoping to secure a second term despite the huge mess we're in.
With his presidency in jeopardy, Trump is hoping to capitalize off the "Great Culture War" to win a second term.
We have a global pandemic. The COVID-19 disease has killed over 150,000 Americans. There are over 5 million confirmed cases in the United States. We are the leading country for human-to-human transfer. The European Union, Canada and even Mexico are banning Americans from entry.
We have unrest in the country. After numerous incident of people of color being killed by police, the calls for police reform are growing. Seeing white people calling the law on people of color and using deadly violence against people of color has opened wounds. The term "Karen" has become symbolic with white people doing three things:
A. Calling the law on Black people minding their business.
B. Pulling a firearm or shooting an unarmed Black person while claiming self-defense.
C. Responding on social media or denouncing movements in racial angst.
Then we have protest to tear down statues of controversial figures like Christopher Columbus, Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Andrew Jackson. Trump has vowed to protect these statues.
Then of course, unemployment is high. With the coronavirus, the trade war between China and uncertainty with the stock market, folks are losing their jobs. We are seeing legendary companies go out of business in the age of Trump. We have 11.4% unemployment. We have over 40 million people of work. The entertainment industry and many in the service industry took a hit.
And of course the number one threat in the country, gun violence.
The Fourth of July weekend was bloody in Chicago, Memphis, Omaha, Cleveland and New York City.
Chicago, there were 30 people shot and eight of them were fatal.
There were 37 people shot in New York City and four of them were fatal.
There were incidents all across the country. There were five shootings in Seattle's CHOP zone.
There was a shooting at a Walmart distribution center in Red Bluff, California.
There was a mass shooting in South Carolina at a nightclub. Reminder, no social distancing in the facility.
Gun violence claims over 100 lives a day.
There were a handful of domestic violence events in the United States where a person shot and killed their partner/spouse or their children.
There were a handful of incidents where children were killed by firearms. I've heard stories about children finding firearms and playing with them killing either themselves or another child.
I wish I could have covered these stories. I mean they were everywhere. But since the COVID-19 crisis and unrest in the country thanks to the death of George Floyd, we have put the main issues to the backburner.
Trump has been slow on fixing gun violence.
The websites Everytown, Gun Violence Archive, Mass Shooting Tracker has been covering every shooting in the United States.
Here's a map.
Gun violence is everywhere. But it's mostly in east of the Mississippi River.
Every day, 100 Americans are killed with guns and hundreds more are shot and injured. The effects of gun violence extend far beyond these casualties—gun violence shapes the lives of millions of Americans who witness it, know someone who was shot, or live in fear of the next shooting.
We have a global pandemic that is killing 150,000 Americans. The coronavirus deaths are still happening and folks are not social distancing. We have an economic recession. With the coronavirus spreading from coast to coast, many companies are closing up for good and placing Americans out of work. They are over 45 million Americans out of work. There are thousands of Americans who are being killed by gun violence. Everyday at least 95 people died from gun violence. I can't even tell you how many stories I've missed involving gun violence in the country.

WHETHER THEY'RE IN THEIR VEHICLE OR RUNNING FROM THEM. THE COPS WILL SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP HIS PAST HISTORY, HIS SOCIAL MEDIA OR HIS FAMILY LIFE. MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM? WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I OFTEN REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS.
We have unrest in the nation. African Americans and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and the law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."
No amount of criminal acts this man done justified that cop's actions. It's has frustrated me to hear folks like Candace Owens, Larry Elder, Leo Terrell, Jesse Lee Peterson, Terrence K. Williams, Kevin Jackson, Diamond & Silk and Allen West defend the actions of bad cops and white vigilantes.
And of course, leftists like Cornel West, Nina Turner, Jeffery Shaun King, Benjamin Dixon and Killer Mike. These coons are trying to infiltrate the debate with "pie in the sky" policies from a failed presidential candidate. They are deliberately sabotaging the Democratic Party's chances of winning the election. Black voters picked their nominee and these coons are trying to sow discourse to white progressives and young voters.
I don't give a fuck about someone's past encounters with police. That doesn't justify the death of anyone.
Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP! I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD! GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
Trump's most favorite rapper is considering a run for president.
Take everything seriously.....
This election is very important and there's going to be distractions everyday.
Entertainer/rapper/producer/reality star/media mogul/celebrity agitator Kanye Omari West tweeted on Saturday that he is running for president. The controversial entertainer decides to run four months before the election.
The entertainer hasn't filed with the Federal Election Commission or created a presidential campaign committee as of yet.
"We must realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States," the 43-year old entertainer wrote on social media with the hashtag "2020 Vision."
We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States 🇺🇸! #2020VISION
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) July 5, 2020
The entertainer's wife, reality television/celebrity agitator Kim Kardashian West quote tweeted with the American flag emoji.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk quickly piped in endorsing the entertainer.
"You have my full support," said Musk. He previously endorsed Andrew Yang and has favored Donald J. Trump on some of his policies.
West is producing the album, God's Country and the albums single, "Wash Us in the Blood," was released this week.
West is a popular figure among conservatives and the alt-right after he publicly supported Candace Owens, alienating himself from the more progressive fanbase. He was once ridiculed and hated by Republicans after his infamous, "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" remarks.
West said that he wants to be like Trump with a bit of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The two politicians are highly toxic.
West went to the White House and met Trump. He praised Trump on his "genius" and said that he loved the "male energy" he gave.
Would you support a Kanye West presidency?
Again, take every reelection attempt of Donald J. Trump seriously. With a global pandemic, an unemployment crisis, civil unrest, and politicians being relatively despised by everyone, Trump is willing to create distractions to take the ball of his incompetence.
Make Buffoonery Great Again.
We have over 150,000 Americans killed from the coronavirus. We have over 5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country. We are leading in the number of confirmed cases.
So far we have seen numbers skyrocket into the 50,000 or more a day cases. With 39 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territory of Puerto Rico experiencing the highest counts of cases in real time.
Unemployment is at 11.1% that means over 40 million Americans are out of work.
The calls for police reform and an end to mainstream racism front in center, we cannot afford to allow Trump and those who follow him continue to run this country in the ground.
Kanye West is one of the world's richest rappers. He has a net estimate of $2.9 billion.
The Cleveland Indians said that they're going to look at changing the name of the baseball club.
The signs of change are happening. Ever since the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and Amhaud Arbery, the push for change is happening faster than expected.
Another controversial franchise is considering changing its name.
Now that the Washington Redskins are facing a major backlash over the naming, the Cleveland Indians are the next team to face pressure.
Major League Baseball and the owners of the American league franchise confirm they're going to consider changing the name of the team.
With pressure on many venues to stop hate for profit, the Indians join the Redskins, Facebook, Twitter and other platforms in working to benefit people of color.
Amid new pressure sparked by a national movement to correct racial wrongdoings, the Indians said Friday night that they will review their long-debated nickname, which has been in place for 105 years.
"We are committed to making a positive impact in our community and embrace our responsibility to advance social justice and equality," the team said in a statement that came hours after the NFL's Washington Redskins announced a similar move. "Our organization fully recognizes our team name is among the most visible ways in which we connect with the community."
The move mirrors the one made by the Redskins, who are embarking on a "thorough review" of their name, which has been deemed offensive by Native American groups for decades. The Redskins' decision came in the wake of FedEx, which paid $205 million for naming rights to the team's stadium, and other corporate partners calling for the team to change its nickname.
There have been previous efforts to get the Indians to rename themselves, but following the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota and other examples of police brutality against Black people in the United States, there has been a major move nationwide to eradicate racially insensitive material.
In 2018, the Indians removed the contentious Chief Wahoo logo from their game jerseys and caps. The grinning, red-faced mascot, however, is still present on merchandise that can be purchased at Progressive Field and other team shops in Northeast Ohio.
Nothing has been decided, but the Indians' decision to at least discuss the possibility of a name change is new. There will certainly be backlash from some Cleveland fans, but the team is sensitive to the importance of doing the right thing in these changing times.
"We have had ongoing discussions organizationally on these issues," the Indians said. "The recent social unrest in our community and our country has only underscored the need for us to keep improving as an organization on issues of social justice. With that in mind, we are committed to engaging our community and appropriate stakeholders to determine the best path forward with regard to our team name.
"While the focus of the baseball world shifts to the excitement of an unprecedented 2020 season, we recognize our unique place in the community and are committed to listening, learning, and acting in the manner that can best unite and inspire our city and all those who support our team."
Before their name was changed in 1915 to the Indians -- a nickname picked after sportswriters solicited readers -- Cleveland's baseball team was called the Forest Citys, Spiders, Blues, Bronchos and Naps, a name to honor Hall of Famer Nap Lajoie.
Washington Redskins are finally considering a name change.
It's the signs of change. The National Football League and the owners of the Washington Redskins are now facing pressure to change the name of the team.
Pressure came quickly when Nike ceased the sales of their merchandise. Soon after the company that sponsors the stadium, FedEx has asked for the owners to reconsider the name change in the wake of the George Floyd protests.
Dan Snyder, the CEO and full time owner had said that he is no longer going to fight against protests for the name. He has resisted past calls to have the name change.
"In light of recent events around our country and feedback from our community, the Washington Redskins are announcing the team will undergo a thorough review of the team's name. This review formalizes the initial discussions the team has been having with the league in recent weeks."
nyder has been under more pressure in recent weeks to change the name, given the national focus on human rights and social justice after the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.
"This process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field," Snyder said in the statement.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement Friday that the league has had "ongoing discussions" with Snyder and was "supportive of this important step."
NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith also issued a statement supporting the Redskins' formal review of the team's name.
I expressed my concerns about the team name a long time ago (https://t.co/yJj8Zai5vL) and support this decision. This can be a moment, especially for our city in this time, to take a step towards unity and healing. https://t.co/uq1of8hoZy
On Thursday, FedEx, which has naming rights to the team's stadium under a $205 million deal that runs until 2025, requested the team change its name. Sponsors Nike and PepsiCo also reportedly are under pressure to sever ties with the team unless it changes its name, Adweek has reported.
Frederick Smith, the chairman, CEO and president of FedEx Corp., also owns a minority stake in the Redskins.
On Thursday night, Nike appeared to remove all Redskins gear from its online store. The other 31 NFL teams were listed, and a search for "Redskins'' came up with no results.
"We have been talking to the NFL and sharing our concerns regarding the name of the Washington team," Nike said in a statement Friday. "We are pleased to see the team taking a first step towards change."
PepsiCo, a sponsor since 2017, expressed a similar sentiment and said, "We believe it is time for a change.'' Sponsor Bank of America said it has "encouraged the team to change the name'' and welcomed the organization's review.
In 2014, The Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin asked FedEx shareholders to reconsider the naming-rights agreement, but shareholders voted to stick with company officials and continue the business relationship, according to the Memphis Business Journal.
Native American leaders want Snyder to change the name, which the franchise has used since 1933. In the past, groups protested the name and tried to win in court. Those efforts failed.
The group Change the Mascot, which has long advocated for Washington to change its team name, said in a statement that a change should be announced right away.
"There is no reason not to immediately announce that the team is changing the mascot, since any real review will lead to the inevitable conclusion that the deeply offensive and racist name of Washington's NFL team must go now," Change the Mascot leader Ray Halbritter said.
Coach Ron Rivera, who said in a recent radio interview now is not the time to discuss the name, called it "an issue of personal importance." Rivera, who is of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent and is the only Hispanic head coach currently in the NFL, added he'd work closely with Snyder during the process.
The team in late June removed founder George Preston Marshall from its Ring of Fame. A monument to him was also removed from the RFK Stadium site. Marshall resisted efforts and pressure to integrate his roster, becoming the last NFL owner to do so in 1962.
On Thursday, an Ohio school district decided that its high school sports teams should no longer be known as the Redskins.
The Forest Hills Board of Education voted 4-1 to "retire" the name and mascot at Anderson High School, which is in an eastern Cincinnati suburb. A new name has not been chosen, and officials plan to soon announce a timeline and process for how a new name and mascot will be selected. The Redskins logo will be phased out in stages beginning in the 2020-21 school year, officials said.
