Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon!

The posthumous album from Pop Smoke.
Three things to cover in this. I am going to do a thread in regards to Pop Smoke, the up-in-coming entertainer who was tragically shot and killed in Los Angeles while producing his debut album.

The title of his posthumous album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon is expected to be in the top-200 of Billboard. We'll get the detail of that in a moment.

1. We will address the album.

2. We will talk about the feud between Young Thug, Drake and Pusha T.

3. The terrorists responsible for the shooting are nabbed.

With the entertainment industry in shambles, it's almost impossible for anyone in the industry to get something out. Hollywood, Broadway and the music industry are taking a huge hit.

Filming in places like American and Canadian cities are completed shut down. Places known for filming American television are taking the biggest hit. New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Toronto and Vancouver are places where most of your favorite scripted shows are filmed.

American and Canadian television are likely to not regain footing this year. So you're expecting silent cancellations and terminations.
50 Cent is the executive producer of Pop Smoke's debut album.
Hip-hop music one of the most profitable genres in the entertainment industry. A Brooklyn-based rapper who had little recognition is now a martyr to music.

Pop Smoke (born Bashar Barakah Jackson) was a rapper, songwriter and singer. He was signed to Republic Records and released two mixtapes and one album.

His album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon was released on July 3. It was executive produced by 50 Cent, Steven Victor, Rico Beats and posthumously by Pop Smoke.

Album production includes: 808Melo (of 808Mafia), WondaGurl, Jenius, 5ive BEatz, Deleyto, Tyy Beats, Dez Wright, CashMoneyAp, Mike Dean, Jess Jackson, Wylo, Palaze, Daniel Moras, MobzBeatz, Mora Beats, Swirv, Hakz Beats, SephGotTheWaves, Pitt Tha Kid, Yung Swisher, Buddah Bless, Seth Da Chef, Yamaica, DJ Drewski, JW Lucas, 1801 Records, Rxcksta, DJ Mustard, Bongo ByTheWay, Luci G, Beat Menace, Bizzy Banko, Kdi, Tash, SpunkBigga, Young Devante, Nagra and Hackney.
Quavo appears the most on Pop Smoke's posthumous album.
The features include Quavo, Lil Baby, DaBaby, Swae Lee, Future, Rowdy Rebel, Roddy Ricch, Tyga, Karol G, Lil Tjay, King Combs and 50 Cent.

Listen to the album here.



The track that was not included was the controversial single Paranoia. The single featured Gunna, Young Thug and Pusha T.

The controversy between Pusha T and Young Thug stemmed from Pusha T's verse going at longtime rival Drake.

In the song, Desires, Drake said without mentioning Pusha T in the following lyrics.

Self-control has never been your thing
Don't think it'll help
If there's ring with a rock in it
Where I'm from they serve, the soda clean (clean, clean)
You come from a city
Where there's lean with the rocks in it
How the fuck you keep so many secrets?
How you goin' vegan but still beefin' with me again?
How the fuck you've seen so many beaches?
Tickets to them places don't come cheap, yeah
I see you back in Turks
Remember who took you there first and don't you forget it
Got you a whip then you got back on your shit
I had to tell Eric, "go get it"
I'm always movin' too fast, the feeling don't last
I feel like you take me for granted
Probably my fault for the way that I handled it

Pusha T had clapped back. In the single the rapper called out Drake for being a "vanity rapper" and said that the entertainer's crew trying to jump him in Canada failed. He said that just to piss him off, he should record a song with Tory Lanez, a Canadian rapper/singer/media mogul who lives in Mississauga who has a feud with Drake.

King Push said there's no apologies and the lyrics are meant.


Here's the lyrics of Paranoia.

[Intro: Pop Smoke]
Yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

[Chorus: Pop Smoke]
Paranoia, I'm havin' thoughts in my head
I'm at the party, in Cartier, yeah
Walk in the club with two straps
When I "Woo," "Woo" back
Don't ask who I am, shoot that in my Dior, ooh

[Verse 1: Young Thug]
I told her back off 'fore I'm 'bout to catch a body
Bitch, this puller ain't no fuckin' Miley Cyrus, Kawasaki (Ooh, skrrt)
She gon' ride it like a Harley, niggas hardly gettin' money right now
I told this bitch, "I can't keep up, most of my thoughts in the clouds" (Ah, ah, ah, yeah)
Paranoid, I know some niggas wanna see me gone
Just made twenty mil', I'm tryna fuckin' enjoy
'Fore you kick my door down and shoot, that's my lil' boy (Yeah)
Keep a tool, loose screws, baby (Loose screws)
When you "Woo," I'ma "Woo" back (Yeah, woo, woo)
Aim at his head (Why?), put half a mil' on a case and go to bed, slatt, slatt (Yeah), yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Pop Smoke, Young Thug & Both]
Paranoia (Slatt), I'm havin' thoughts in my head (Yeah)
I'm at the party in Cartier, yeah
Walk in the club with two straps
When I "Woo," "Woo" back
Don't ask who I am, shoot that (Yeah) in my Dior

[Verse 2: Gunna]
Mmm, I gotta be paranoid
Grippin' that FN, you know the streets at war
Leadin' to one thing, make sure you lock the door
They hate that I'm locked in, you gotta watch your door (Watch your door)
I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry (Sorry)
Cops pull me over 'cause I'm in a 'Rari (A 'Rari)
Got topped off from lil' mama ridin' shotty (Shotty)
Man, Woo gon' shake the room, might catch a body (Body)
Real niggas, we love to party, like everyday
I bought that bitch a Masi', we two look great
Baby boy in Taraji, I took some molly
Float like I'm Ali, tryna stay sane (Yeah)

[Chorus: Pop Smoke]
Paranoia, I'm havin' thoughts in my head
I'm at the party, in Cartier, yeah
Walk in the club with two straps
When I "Woo," "Woo" back
Don't ask who I am, shoot that in my Dior

[Verse 3: Pusha T]
You know reality bites, it's chess, not checkers
Those empty threats only sound good on your records
If the patois is not followed by a Blocka
It's like Marked for Death Screwface, without the choppa
Let 'em rush the stage when you made like Sinatra
Only to hide the blade flyin' back through LaGuardia
I might even buy a home out in Mississauga
On my walls, have scrawls of Tschabalala's
Many dolls, that're sprawled, they my Ill Nanas
Make a call, she gon' crawl, bad gyal Patra
I'm involved and absolved, I am Godfather, hush

[Verse 4: Pop Smoke]
I just did six days in London, paranoia
Shoot for the stars, aim for the moon
Thoughts in my head, know that I'm Woo
When you see me, you know that I'm Woo
When you see me, you know that I'm Woo

[Chorus: Pop Smoke]
I said paranoia, I got some thoughts in my head
I'm at the party, in Cartier, yeah
Walk in the club with two straps
When I "Woo," "Woo" back
Don't ask who I am, shoot that in my Dior

[Outro: Pop Smoke]
That's the paranoia, oh, the paranoia
I said I'm paranoid, paranoia

Young Thug considered the attack was disrespectful. He called out Pusha T for wasting his time dissing rappers instead of keeping it respectful in the wake of Pop Smoke's death. Thugger said he's not taking Drake or Pusha T's side in their feud. Thugger said that he could have done that shit on his own album.
Drama. Young Thug and Pusha T are feuding over lyrics King Push released aiming at longtime rival Drake. Thugger felt Push disrespected Pop Smoke by throwing shade at Drizzy.
"I don't respect the Pusha T verse on the song with me and Gunna [because] I don't have [nothing] to do with ya'll beef nor does Gunna, and if I knew that was about him I would've made changes on our behalf...the rapper shit so gay," said Young Thug.

King Push responded to the diss.

"Don't feel bad, NOBODY knew what the verse was [about]. The label heads that stopped it didn't even know. They ONLY ASSUME because HE TOLD them! The same way HE TOLD [about] the Rick Ross' Maybach 6 verse. And if HE'LL TELL record executives [about] rap verses, God only knows what else HE'LL TELL! I don't deal in police work, police rappers or police NIGGAS!"

Thugger clapped back at King Push.

"First of all your verse is 7 days...that muthafucka' weak. Second of all, you already went crazy the first time...it ain't nothing but a sucka [NIGGA move]/.. going on double takes, triple takes, and quadruple takes. You should've just got all of it out when you put the first song out."

"You didn't even have to do all that. You just felt like you wasn't gonna get enough views on your shit so you came and put some bullshit on a Nigga who's resting in peace's music. Trying to fuck up a Nigga a whole vibe. Why the fuck you ain't do that shit on your own song?"

So the feud between Drake and Pusha T goes back three years. It started with Pusha T releasing his album Daytona and it addressed the turmoils of Cash Money and Young Money Entertainment.

Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne have long complained about Bryan "Baby" Williams and the way he does business. Pusha T couldn't resist calling them out for that. He also called Drake a "phony" and said that he has people "ghostwriting" his music.

Drizzy responded back with Duppy which aimed at King Push's gangsta credibility, his fallout with Pharrell, and being a second string to Kanye West. He also accused King Push of having affairs on his girlfriend turned wife.

King Push responded with The Story of Adidon which called Drake out for having a tryst with an adult entertainer that ended up giving him his first child. He also called out Drizzy for being all sensitive about the feud.

Drake has stated that he has no interest in squashing this feud with Pusha T.

The folks involved in the home invasion that killed Pop Smoke were caught.

The Los Angeles Police Department have announced they have caught five terrorists. Three were men and two are juveniles. They are in the custody of U.S. Marshals.

"Early this morning search and arrest warrants were served on several locations in Los Angeles,," Officer Norma Eisenman said in an email. She added that the names of those who were arrested will be released after they are questioned and booked.

The law did not give details about what criminal charges these terrorists are facing.
Pop Smoke was killed in his prime. The 20-year old rapper was gunned down in Los Angeles after a botched robbery.
Pop Smoke died at the age of 20. He may have involuntarily gave his location to gang members who were looking to rob celebrities.

The charges could be considered first-degree murder, robbery, felonious assault, kidnapping and fleeing the scene of crime, failure to report a criminal act and probably firearm violations for some who were restricted from owning them. The murder charges in California are either given in this term: LIFE or DEATH. Automatically 50 years to LIFE without parole if you're a criminal who had ties to gangs or a repeat offender.

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

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.

Michael Cohen Back In Federal Time Out!

Michael Cohen heads to federal time out for violating its terms.
Less than a month out of the federal time out, disgraced lawyer for Donald J. Trump, Michael Cohen had to surrender himself to the U.S. Marshals after he violated his terms of in-house.

The in-house terms were explicit for non-violent offenders who were convicted but released due to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting U.S. Federal Prisons.

Cohen was spotted out and about in New York while he was supposed to be holed up in his home.

The picture of Cohen being spotted at a New York City restaurant violated the terms of in-house.

The Bureau of Prisons said Cohen "refused the conditions of his home confinement."
Cohen once said he'll take a bullet for Mr. Trump. I guess the bullet ricocheted.
Cohen is going to be held at the Manhattan Federal, the same place where two former Trump allies are held. The incoming Ghislaine Maxwell and the late sexual predator ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein have been interned there. Epstein committed suicide shortly after his stay. Maxwell is currently on suicide watch.

The longtime fixer for Trump is to serve 3 1/2 years in federal time out. He was found guilty in campaign finance fraud, wire fraud, lying to Congress and tampering with evidence.

He was the fall guy for Trump's hush payments to adult entertainer/activist Stormy Daniels and model/former adult entertainer Karen McDougal. Trump ordered Cohen to pay Daniels through a shell company to keep her from exposing the allegations of him having an affair with her during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.
The photo that got his ass in trouble.
The Supreme Court sided with New York State Prosecutor Cyrus Vance and New York Attorney General Letitia James today in the release of Trump's tax returns in regards to Cohen admitting that he was told to pay former mistresses.

Cohen was granted in-house after his lawyer Lanny Davis argued that he was at risk of COVID-19 due to health conditions. The federal judge granted him an early release. However, it was delayed for five weeks after complaints from Trump.

Rupert Murdoch's trash tabloid The New York Post caught him at Le Bilboquet, a fancy French restaurant near his home. The photograph could have been the spark that lit the fire under his ass.
The issue with Stormy Daniels isn't over. The New York state attorneys want Trump's documents in relations to her getting paid off during the presidential elections.
Cohen who has turned against Trump has promised his book will detail his relationship with him as well as Eliot Broidy and Sean "Softball" Hannity.



Softball Hannity has denied having Cohen as his lawyer. In April 2018, the federal judge ordered him to release the name of his clients. The annoying agitator failed to acknowledge he was in the services of Cohen.

Cohen, Jay Sekulow, Victoria Toensing, Joe DiGenova and Rudy Giuliani are (or once were) lawyers for Donald J. Trump and Sean "Softball" Hannity.

Javicia Leslie Is The Batwoman!

Javicia Leslie is the new Batwoman.
American television it's pretty much on hiatus because of the coronavirus. Every scripted show, every entertainment venue and most sporting events are now suffering thanks to COVID-19.

Thanks to Donald J. Trump's handling of this pandemic, we're looking at over 150,000 Americans to die of the coronavirus. We also are going to see Hollywood bleed.

Good news, the recasting of Batwoman is confirmed and now we have a hero.

Javicia Leslie is going to be Batwoman. She previously appeared on the CBS comedy-drama God Friended Me.

She was casted to replace Ruby Rose for the second season of Batwoman. She is openly bisexual.

She is a person of color.




The 33-year old actress was born in Augsburg, Germany and move to the United States at an early age. She is a graduate of Hampton University.
Ruby Rose resigned from Batwoman in season one. She was excited that the show casted a person of color.
Warner Bros TV which owns The CW Network announced the casting pick on social media.

Australian actress Ruby Rose had left the show after season one. She cited injuries and typecasting would stall her career. She was also frustrated with the way the show went in the first season.

Rose thanked Greg Berlanti and the cast for giving her an opportunity to be an incredible hero.

"I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season. This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles. I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created. Thank you Peter Roth and Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success - I am truly grateful."

Rose resides in Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia.

Leslie will be casted a Ryan Wilder. She will be replacing Kate Kane (Rose's role) at the Batwoman.

The network need to find a woman who is identified as a LGBTQ and athletic.
Hartley Sawyer was fired from The Flash after his past tweets came back to haunt him.
The Flash had fired out the cannon Hartley Sawyer. Last month, the actor was fired after a series off offensive tweets emerged from his old social media accounts.

"Hartley Sawyer will not be returning for season seven of The Flash. In regards to Mr. Sawyer's posts on social media, we do not tolerate derogatory remarks that target any race, ethnicity, national origin, gender or sexual orientation. Such remarks are antithetical to our values and polices, which strive and evolve to promote a safe, inclusive and productive environment for our workforce."

Sawyer apologized to the cast and fans of the show.

My words, irrelevant of being meant with an intent of humor, were hurtful, and unacceptable. I am ashamed I was capable of these really horrible attempts to get attention at that time. I regret them deeply. This was not acceptable behavior. These were words I threw out at the time with no thought or recognition of the harm my words could do, and now have done today. I am incredibly sorry, ashamed and disappointed in myself for my ignorance back then. I want to be very clear: this is not reflective of what I think or who I am now. Years ago, thanks to friends and experiences who helped me to open my eyes, I began my journey into becoming a more responsible adult - in terms of what I say, what I do, and beyond. I've largely kept that journey private, and this is another way that I have let so many down. I still have more work to do. But how I define myself now does not take away the impact of my words, or my responsibility for them. I am very sorry.

Skai Jackson, an entertainer and activist tweets a series of screen grabs of Sawyer's past.



Sawyer played Ralph Dibny, a Central City Detective who also goes by the name of the Elongated Man. He played the role for four years now on the show.

The Flash is slated to return in 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, taping is delayed and many of the shows on most networks are on hiatus or silently cancelled.

Supergirl will return to the television in mid-2021. Melissa Benoist is pregnant with her first child and the showrunners want her to at least enjoy motherhood before she returns back as Supergirl.

The CW has greenlighted most of its shows. Many of the DC Universe shows are returning.

The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow/Constantine, Black Lightning, Batwoman and DC's Stargirl will return in 2021.

SCOTUS Tells Trump To Show Them Taxes!

The Supreme Court told Trump to hand over his taxes to 

Huge blow to Donald J. Trump.

The ruling will impact the U.S. election and also give American lawmakers a peak into how Trump became a billionaire. It will also reveal possible interactions with the Russian Federation.

Trump will continue to not show his taxes despite the Court's ruling.

The decision was 7-2.

The justices said that in the ruling that Trump cannot claim immunity from all investigations to stop his bank and accountants from handing over his tax returns going back to 2011. That New York state attorney Cyrus Vance is within his constitutional rights to obtain documents and tax returns from Trump. House and Senate lawmakers can subpoena

Trump has fought this biterly. He initially told the junk food media and Congress that he's still facing audits and he's trying to get his work together.

He showed his frustration on social media.












Chief Justice John Roberts along with Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Elena Kagan said that Trump is not above the law.

Kavanaugh and Gorsuch were picked by Trump and they sided with Roberts and the progressives.

Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas sided with Trump on the matter.

Trump's personal attorney Jay Sekulow, a conservative radio host and podcaster really fumbled in the Court. He argued for that Trump's tax returns were not available to the public due to ongoing issues with his accountants.

The public won't see the taxes just yet but it will be available to the federal courts and Congress.

Trump had paid hush money to adult entertainer and activist Stormy Daniels in a non-disclosure agreement. Trump hid allegations of an affair from the public during his run for president.
Trump is not above the law. He must hand over taxes to the federal prosecutors.
His former attorney Michael Cohen paid off Daniels in a set of hush money payments during the presidential election. Vance is commissioning an investigation into why Trump failed to acknowledge this payment during the elections.

The feds ordered Mazars USA and Deutsche Bank to hand over the tax returns and personal finances.

They must comply with the order or face non-compliance to federal order criminal charges/

Trump v. Vance was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held Article II and the Supremacy Clause do not categorically preclude, or require a heightened standard for, the issuance of a state criminal subpoena to a sitting President.

The ruling in the New York dispute makes it more likely that Trump's tax returns are eventually made public, though it's unclear if they would be disclosed before the November general election. More fundamentally, the decision flatly rejects Trump’s argument that a sitting president enjoys absolute immunity from investigations.

"In our judicial system, 'the public has a right to every man's evidence,'" Roberts wrote for the majority. "Since the earliest days of the Republic, 'every man' has included the President of the United States."

Biden Jerseys!

Joe Biden wins the states of New Jersey and Delaware.
Two states held their primaries. Obviously, Joe Biden is the Democratic presumptive nominee but it worth noting that in order to make it clear to those who still believe Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) deserved the nomination, let's clear a few things.

Sanders is a polarizing figure. He is a democratic socialist. He is an independent senator who caucuses with the Democratic Party. He and Sen. Angus King (I-ME) are the only two members who are independents.

The states of Delaware and New Jersey held their primaries on Tuesday and the results came in.

In the state of New Jersey, Biden trounces Sanders with 88% of the vote while Sanders earned 12% of the vote. The remaining candidates only managed to get 0.01% of the vote.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), a former Democratic presidential candidate bested the Sanders-backed candidate Lawrence Hamm who was the chairman of the People's Organization for Progress.

Booker ended his bid for the presidency in early 2020 and endorsed Biden.
The Delaware Memorial Bridge separates Delaware from New Jersey. Interstate 295 covers Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It's like a partial loop around the cities of Wilmington, Philadelphia and Trenton.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) switched parties in late 2019. After winning as a Democrat, Van Drew left the party because he refused to back the House Democrats in voting for the Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump. He will face off against Democratic House nominee Amy Kennedy. The 2nd Congressional District is lean Republican and its likely he'll continue on as a Republican.

In the state of Delaware, Biden won his state overwhelmingly. He won 91% of the vote while Sanders got 7% of the vote and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) got 2% of the vote.

Considered an easy win for the former vice president, Delaware is the state where Biden and his wife, former second lady and educator Dr. Jill Biden reside.

Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) is the current lawmaker from the state. She is from Wilmington, Delaware. She easily won her primary.

Biden already has enough delegates to become the Democratic presidential nominee.

Biden has 2,589 delegates while Sanders has only 1,100 delegates.

Trump has already obtained enough delegates to become the Republican presidential nominee.

SCOTUS Sides With Religious Groups Over Contraception!

The Supreme Court rules that religious groups have the right to deny contraception to those who work for them.
The Supreme Court ruled in the case of Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania. In a 7-2 decision, the Departments had the authority under the ACA to promulgate the religious and moral exemptions. The rules promulgating the exemptions are free from procedural defects.

Little Sisters vs. Pennsylvania was a U.S. Supreme Court case involving ongoing conflicts between the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) over the ACA's contraceptive mandate. The ACA exempts non-profit religious organizations from complying with the mandate, which for-profit religious organizations objected to.

The case is a result of prior court action from Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., in 2014 and Zubik v. Burwell, in 2016, which left the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to come up with new regulations on the mandate.

On election Donald J. Trump implemented an Executive Order to the HHS to bypass the traditional regulation process, leading to HHS devising new rules in late 2017 to give for-profits groups the ability to exempt themselves for both religious or moral objections to the mandate. Several states sued the government, and multiple Circuit Courts placed injunctions on the new rules as arbitrary and capricious and required by neither the ACA or the RFRA, violating the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This case is a consolidation of two appeals from the injunction placed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The Supreme Court ruled on July 8, 2020 in a 7-2 decision that the new rules were valid, as the associated departments had the authority to promulgate the exemptions, and that the process to put the rules in place did not violate the APA.

This decision is a setback for women's groups who believe that religious institutions aren't exempt from providing affordable contraception to their employees.

It smacks down parts of the ACA (aka Obamacare) requirements that employers to provide insurance coverage for contraceptives.

The conservative wing plus two progressive justices sided with Little Sisters.
The Court sided with Catholic groups.
Chief Justice John Roberts, Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer believed that Donald J. Trump's executive order can allow companies to block contraception on religious and moral exemptions.

Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsberg voted against the decision.

The other decision Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru allows religious institutions to uphold their right to fire non-religious people out the cannon.

The ruling makes the First Amendment ministerial exception extends to the adjudication of Morrissey-Berru's and Biel's employment-discrimination claims.

Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru was a U.S. Supreme Court case involving the ministerial exception of federal employment discrimination laws. The case extends from the Supreme Court's prior decision in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church & School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which created the ministerial exception based on the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the United States Constitution, asserting that federal discrimination laws cannot be applied to leaders of religious organizations. The case, along with the consolidated St. James School v. Biel (Docket 19-348), both arose from rulings in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that found that federal discrimination laws do apply to others within a religious organization that serve an important religious function but lack the title or training to be considered a religious leader under Hosanna-Tabor. The religious organization challenged that ruling on the basis of Hosanna-Tabor.

The Supreme Court ruled in a 7–2 decision on July 8, 2020 that reversed the Ninth Circuit's ruling, affirming that the principles of Hosanna-Tabor, that a person can be serving an important religious function even if not holding the title or training of a religious leader, satisfied the ministerial exception in employment discrimination.

This Sh*t Is Happening In Trump's America!

Under Donald Trump, we have pandemic, an economic crisis, civil unrest and partisan bullshit.
DONALD J. TRUMP HAS A 49.3% CHANCE OF WINNING REELECTION. 

If the election was held today, I believe Trump will eek out a victory against Joe Biden. Even though, Trump is fucking up the economy, our healthcare system and causing chaos wherever he goes, Trump still has the advantage because he's an incumbent president. He is often given the benefit of the doubt. Trump is steadily campaigning despite the dangers of spreading the coronavirus. He seems intent on not letting this epic disaster destroy his reelection chances. Trump's incompetence won't sway his base. These are the people who refuse to wear mask in public. These are the people who believe that the junk food media has been out to get him. These are the people who are spreading COVID-19 without even knowing it.

But in the alternative reality of Trump and Fox News, the fault lies on Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Democrats and the media.

Now fully engaged in the culture war, Trump decides to aim at Joe Biden for being "soft on crime."

"Sleepy Joe" is now "Crime Wave Joe" according to the far-right and our bumbling president.

The Trump's presidential campaign releases this ad saying Biden will not keep you safe. Shame all these incidents are happening in real time in Trump's America.



Folks, we have a global pandemic right now. Everyday, there has been over 100,000 confirmed cases a day. There have been over 150,000 Americans who have died from the coronavirus.

We have record unemployment in the United States. There are hundreds of companies that are filing for bankruptcy as we speak. These companies closing are going to put people on unemployment.

Our foreign allies are beginning to shun our influence on

Taking a cue from Sean "Softball" Hannity, the ad claims that Joe Biden and Democrats want to "defund the police."

In the ad, the voice recording is claiming that your safety is on the line.

Trump has decided to run on the culture war. He will no longer run on the economy or his strength as a leader. He will try to siphon off the fears of change.

Mary Kay Letourneau Passed Away!

The former American teacher who attracted international attention after she slept with her student passed away.
Her name will be mentioned a few times. The American teacher who became the face of  "pedophile teachers" has passed away.

The sexual predator who gain fame for raping a 12-year old boy and raising his two children has passed away. Her victim, Vili Fualaau would soon marry the rapist after she served a nickel and pennies in the iron college. The two would be married for over a decade or so before they separated, reconciled and then finally divorced.

Fualaau, a part-time DJ, music producer and trade worker was having affairs with other women while still married to the predator. His life was fucked up. He ended up being a single father of two daughters and he struggled to deal with the fame and the life of a parent. He managed to raise his daughters into their adulthood with the predator being in their lives.

The predator had four other children from her former husband Steve Letourneau, Sr.

The "Hot For A Teacher" herself, Mary Kay Letourneau has passed away at the age of 58. Her lawyer said that she passed away from cancer.
Fualaau with his two daughters.
Then a teacher for Shorewood Elementary in Burien, Washington, the predator was a popular teacher at one time. She often would engage with students in a "friend-mentor" role.

The victim, Fualaau basically flirted with her. He told her flat out that he had a crush on her and wished he could be with her. The predator who claimed she was in an abusive and emotionless marriage found comfort with the boy. The two would have tryst in the classroom and in parks.

They were caught by the law while having sex at the Des Moines Marina. The predator lied about the victim's age and it raised suspicions of the two having a sexual encounter. The two at first denied they had sex but two months later, she found out she was pregnant with his first child. At that time, the predator's husband found out about it and confronted Fualaau. He wanted the predator to terminate the child and warned the boy to stay away from her.  Eventually, she gave birth to Fualaau's daughter and was told to stay away from the child. A few years later, the two were caught again.
She is the poster child of pedophile teachers.
The state threw child rape and sexual abuse on the predator. She was convicted of the charges and got 7 1/2 years in the iron college. During that time, she had given birth to her second child. The husband condemned her and Fualaau and ordered a divorce. The divorce was finalized and the predator was ordered to pay child support and spousal support.

The sexual predator got out of iron college in 2005. The predator and Fualaau would soon marry. They made money off their story and got some unwanted publicity.

The predator leaves behind six children and two ex-husbands.

Aren't you getting tired of these stories about teachers having sexual affairs with their students? I meant raping their students.

Every time I've often read stories on the internet, I often see a story about a white teacher arrested for having sex with her student.

Then of course we get pictures of the teacher. She's usually a hot woman and the junk food media is somewhat sympathetic towards this type of pedophilia. Ever since Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau became infamous, it open the door to hundreds of other events where teachers are caught sexually abusing children.

Instead of covering the latest teacher caught up in a sex scandal, I will detail two things that you probably failed at noticing.

The sentencing of the female teachers is too lenient. Male teachers often are hit with charges that could put them in the iron college for LIFE. Female teachers are often slapped on the wrist or the butt. They lose their educators license, slapped with a heavy fine, restricted from computer or internet access. Some might have to register in Offender U and serve in-house. Usually female teachers are granted freedom from the iron college.

This will give the offender possible modeling and book deals.

Why are justifying pedophilia?

It often starts as a local news story. The age of the teacher, the mugshot and the allegations start to hit the web. Usually the teacher is often aged 20 to 45, white, female and married with children. She was a teacher for less than 10 years and was really popular with students.

Usually gossip sites like Heavy, The Daily Mail, HuffPost, The Sun and The New York Post would often post these stories on their websites. They get the most attractive pictures of these teachers from their social media and share them with the world.

When the junk food media picks up on it, they share it with the world.

Then sympathy pours out for the teacher and the victim. The victim usually is a standout or a social outcast. The victim could be finding his or her puberty and the teacher is grooming. The victim then relies on friendship with the teacher. Then the teacher shares contacts via the phone or social media.

Jair Bolsonaro: I Got The Coronavirus!

Dumb ass Brazilian president caught the coronavirus. He acts like Trump when it came to the threat.
The Brazilian version of Donald J. Trump has tested positive for the coronavirus.

Jair Bolsonaro confirms that he tested positive for the COVID-19. He had downplayed the virus for months. Now he appeared on Brazilian TV to tell the world that he's got it.

"Everyone knew that it would reach a considerable part of the population sooner or later. It was positive for me," he said after taking a COVID-19 test on Monday.

"On Sunday, I wasn't feeling very well. On Monday, it got worse when I started feeling tired and some muscle pain. I also had a 38-degree fever. Given those symptoms, the presidential doctor said there was suspicion of COVID-19," Bolsonaro said, adding that he then went to the hospital to receive a lung scan.
Bolsonaro and Trump share two themes: Ignorance and stubbornness. 
He and his wife, Michelle Bolsonaro were tested and he will now follow social distancing and take precautions.

Bolsonaro nevertheless credited the controversial antimalarial drug for his well-being on Tuesday. "I am feeling very well. I believe that the way they administered the hydroxychloroquine on, the effect was immediate," he said.

He also acknowledged the life-threatening risk posed by a virus that he has in the past dismissed as a "little flu."

"We know the fatality of the virus for those of a certain age, like me, above 65, as well as for those with comorbidities, diseases, other issues. In those cases the virus could be decisive and lead to death -- everyone knew that."

"Because of my contact with the people, I thought I had contracted it already and not noticed it, like the majority of the Brazilian population that contracts the virus, and doesn't know," he continued.
More than 65,000 people have now died of the virus in Brazil, according to figures released by the country's health ministry on Monday. So far, 1,623,284 cases have been confirmed.

With coronavirus tests hard to come by in the country, some local experts say the real number of people infected could be 12 to 16 times higher.

But the Brazilian leader maintains that economic closures will hurt the country more than the virus itself. "Our life has to go on. Jobs should be maintained," Bolsonaro said during a March 24 speech broadcast on national television and radio. He held onto that position as Brazil's outbreak dramatically worsened, criticizing governors and mayors for introducing stringent lockdown measures in an attempt to curb cases.

Here's a map.



Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.

1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs).

2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)

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.

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.
Even foreign leaders are suffering from COVID-19.
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.

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, 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. Take this seriously. You only have one life!

Lindsey Graham Is Taking Jaime Harrison Seriously!

Jaime Harrison is giving Lindsey Graham a run for his money.
South Carolina Democratic senatorial nominee Jaime Harrison is raking in donations and is creeping within striking range. His opponent, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is now taking his opponent seriously.

Harrison has raked in over $15 million in cash.

Harrison, who is African American could be the first Democrat in a long time to unseat the longtime Republican senator. Graham used to be a fairly center-right lawmaker.

He is now far-right and truly a MAGAss.

Graham is Donald J. Trump's most loyal ally and has been lockstep in allowing this incompetent president wreck the economy, the justice system, the healthcare system and our values.

He once had a spine and backbone. He had called Trump once a racist buffoon and a fraud. Yet, he's now partying with Trump at Mar-a-Largo. He confirming Trump's unqualified judicial nominees.

Graham fiercely defended Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh despite the testimony from Christine Blassy Ford. The woman accused Kavanaugh of sexual abuse and testified in front of millions to tell her story.

Graham went golfing with Trump and has called people who criticize him a bunch of raving fools.

Now he's all of sudden does a 180 on Trump.

Graham must think that Harrison is a threat to him. Right now, most pollsters believe Graham is likely going to win this seat, but Harrison is dismissing their conclusions.

He believes that Graham will be defeated.
Lindsey Graham knows that his support of Trump is tanking him. So he's going to pivot to win.
South Carolina is a complex state. It has a strong Black voter base. It turned out to vote for Joe Biden over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and it kicked off Biden's rebound from near elimination.

Harrison is hoping to make this race a local issue. Graham's popularity is tanking in the state.

Since then, Graham has tried to pivot back to the "maverick" days.

Graham had blocked nominees from Trump recently and spoke out against his attacks on NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace. Graham is fully on-board for removing Confederate history despite he once supported it and blocked it while he was then a member of the House.

Graham is full of shit. He knows it.

Lindsey Graham is afraid to lose to a Democrat. If elected, Jaime Harrison would serve the South Carolina delegation with another Black senator.

It will be two Black senators representing South Carolina.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) was picked by Nikki Haley in 2014. He became the lone Black senator in the Republican Party. The other two senators Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) have worked with Scott on criminal justice reform.

Scott has condemned Trump and Graham on numerous occasions.
