The Republicans are going to get a wake up call in 2022 if they don't pull their heads out their asses. They better get use to the new norms.
He is the most annoying far-right agitator in the country. He doesn't see the irony of his crusade to undermine President Joe Biden.
It is really pathetic that Sean "Screwball" Hannity is determined to destroy Biden's presidency under the guise of "news and information." The opinion host is a dangerous.
He plays a huge role in the U.S. Capitol chaos. The far-right agitator has not only blamed Biden for the coronavirus pandemic which killed over 400,000 Americans but dubbed his first days of his presidency a disaster.
Under the chyron of his show, Biden's Terrible Week.
And it’s a doozy — although unsurprising, given the Fox News host’s servile stumping for former president Donald Trump.
On Thursday night, a caption on Hannity’s show declared Biden’s first week as president “disastrous.” But the review came before Biden had even completed his first full day as president.
It's barely one week in and this annoyance is already trying to convince Republicans to impeach Biden for a conspiracy.
The far-right agitator hosted the former computer repairman who allegedly had Hunter Biden's laptop. This laptop became an issue in October when Rudy Giuliani openly bragged about having Biden's laptop and leaked unflattering images of him to hurt President Biden.
According to Sean "Screwball" Hannity, Biden's first three days were a disastrous week.
The New York Post ran unverified claims and Twitter and Facebook blocked it citing that it was personal information being used without permission. The conservatives made a huge fuss about it and called for social media to be investigated.
Giuliani, under federal watch went to Ukraine to meet a Russian supporting Ukrainian lawmaker who had "incriminated" dirt on Hunter. The agitator was allegedly shopping around for a network to air it. At one time, Fox News' news division passed on it. They thought the missing laptop story was ridiculous.
Why on earth would anyone leave a laptop with a repair shop?
And why would anyone working on a laptop be looking into their personal data?
"Screwball" Hannity must really think Americans are stupid. Because he doesn't know that looking into someone's laptop without the permission is illegal and a breach of trust.
But go ahead, believe a guy who doesn't vet his guest nor claims himself to be a journalist.
It's time to hold him accountable. Let's make this clear: It's time to put an end to misinformation and hate. This agitator is a part of the problem and it's time to tell his advertisers that his toxic branding is bad for business.
The Republicans are going to get a wake up call in 2022 if they don't pull their heads out their asses. They better get use to the new norms.
The far right agitator gave birth to her child and the racists are attacking her. Mind you she said far worse than the white nationalists.
She is a disgusting human being but damnit, she is a woman of color and a mother. Honor her for being a mother. She deserves the respect of that. What she does with her child in the future relies on how she raises him.
It's going to be a challenge for her and her husband but I believe they have courage to be excellent parents.
Take a few moments to at least wish her well on her journey to motherhood.
Candace Owens-Farmer is a controversial figure. She was a former progressive turned into a far right troll and grifter. From Barack Obama to Donald J. Trump, Owens has been a diherrea of hate.
Owens has announced her birth of her son over the weekend. She welcomed a son with her husband, the British baron George Farmer.
While many of her posts were very supportive of her motherhood, others wasted no time trashing her and the baby.
Some folks believe race-mixing is disgusting. Trust me, we have people who seriously believe that dating or marriage outside your race destroys purity.
White nationalists have a very dangerous philosophy towards racial equality. They despise it and they hate interracial marriage, biracial children and a future where a white majority is erased in 30 years.
The two got married only three weeks after meeting each other. They married in the following year.
Farmer is a far-right extremist in his own right. He and Owens were former members of the Turning Point group.
Owens had been on streak of attacking entertainers, politicians and activists on the left.
She engaged in a feuds with some on the far-right as well.
Owens has been banned on many platforms and is likely to keep the streak going with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter if she continues to push hate and division. I am hoping they will pull the plug on her soon. There should be accountability in the wake of the U.S. Capitol riots.
Owens should be partially blamed for this.
You know that Owens was hateful towards Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry. It's been one year since the royals stepped down from duty. They said that the British junk food media, racism and the endless comparisons to Prince William and Duchess Kate drove them away from the United Kingdom to the United States.
The two made home in Los Angeles and devote themselves to privacy, community service and their son Archie.
Owens has been calling out Meghan (Markle) for being a liberal hypocrite and said that Harry is losing his soul being married to her.
Folks like Candace Owens disgrace Black women in general. She is too blinded by her hatred of her skin. When her son grows up to be age 12, he will see a country hopefully free of police brutality, racism and a bitterly partisan America created by folks like mother.
Arizona Republicans decided to "boot" Cindy McCain, Jeff Flake and Doug Ducey out.

The Republicans are going to get a wake up call in 2022 if they don't pull their heads out their asses. They better get use to the new norms.
The Arizona Republican Party being led by far-right extremist Kelli Ward is planning on booting out the widow of John McCain, the governor of Arizona and a former senator who criticized former president Donald J. Trump.
The widow of McCain and the former senator endorsed Joe Biden for president. The other ignored Trump's phone call when he certified the election.
President Joe Biden has appointed Cindy McCain as a member of his transition team. He has considered appointed McCain for an ambassadorship.
On Friday, the Maricopa County Republican Party censured her in a 4-1 margin in response to her support for Biden. The Arizona Republican Party also censured her as well.
Along with that came the governor of Arizona, Doug Ducey and former U.S. senator Jeff Flake.
The three were also kicked out of the party, symbolically. The governor did not back Trump's bid to subvert the election. Arizona went to Biden. The party believes that these three were disloyal to the Republican Party and Trump. The staunch support of Trump has turned off moderates and conservative-leaning independents. The Republican Party's refusal to support immigration reform in a nearly minority-majority state of Arizona doomed them. Non-white Hispanics make up 40% of the state's population.
Flake, an outspoken critic of Trump only supported him on Supreme Court justices and legislation that he believed in. The rest of Trump was appalling to him. Trump said he will endorse the primary challenger against Flake. So instead of taking on a loss, he retired.
So emerges the primary where Ward and former Maricopa sheriff Joe Arpaio took on a U.S. Representative Martha McSally. She would emerge as the candidate to take on Kyrsten Sinema,
McSally ended up losing to Sinema. What also riled up Republicans was Ducey's appointment to fill the seat of John McCain. The Republicans wanted Ward to fulfill the term but it turned out to be the loser of the senate seat.
Kelli Ward and Arizona Republicans want to kick out Cindy McCain and Governor Doug Ducey.
The seat that was once occupied by John McCain went to Jon Kyl and later Martha McSally.
McSally would lose handily to Mark Kelly, the former astronaut and husband of shooting survivor and former Democratic U.S. House lawmaker Gabrielle Giffords.
Trump spent a portion of his final months whipping up an insurrection. The insurrection stormed the U.S. Capitol and led to multiple injuries and five deaths. Those who were filmed and caught in the act are criminally charged.
The Republicans are so more focused on some of the most dumbest things. It appears that they're not concerned about the pandemic which kills over 400,000 Americans. They're not concerned about the chaos at the Capitol being sparked by Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud. The Republicans are concerned about National Guard members being in a garage. They wouldn't be there if it wasn't for Trump's rhetoric. They are more concerned about crowd sizes and Biden's agenda.
It's really pathetic that the calls for unity are ignored by the noise of the extremes.
We are calling for accountability. To those who supported the insurrection and the claims of voter fraud, you are going to lose your job, your reputation, your social media and your freedom.
C'mon, give it rest. The conspiracies will only lead to you getting either sick from COVID-19, shot by the police or sent to the iron college because you're a threat to society.
Pick your poison.
Anyway, I kind of enjoy this. The Republican brought this on themselves. They chose to be a party of white nationalism, conspiracies and neverending bitching. May they live in their filth.
These idiots in the photo were arrested. The idiot wearing a Viking hat claims he was duped by Donald J. Trump's bullshit and demands an organic meal while in the iron college.

While many of those who participated in the U.S. Capitol insurrection feel duped and betrayed by former president Donald J. Trump, they seem to get more respect from the U.S. federal courts than a person of color.
Those involved in the insurrection of democracy face these things.
1. A court date where if convicted, they could spend years in federal time out.
2. The loss of their jobs. Employers will separate from those involved in this insurrection.
3. Public reputation ruined. See folks won't serve them. Social media will likely ban them indefinitely and they face lawsuits from those injured or dead from this insurrection.
4. The title of "racist" will haunt them for the rest of their miserable lives. See the very fact they wanted to overturn the results of Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and Nevada involved heavily minority-majority cities that lean Democratic.
5. Just leaving this out there.... They are regarded as morons. Nah, I meant terrorists. Their "patriotism" costed them their freedom. You can't claim you were brainwashed by the president and far-right agitation. You had a choice not to go to the event. You have a choice to protest from the comfort of home. Now you expose yourself to COVID-19 and probably could end up dying from it.
It appears that some of these white extremists are getting an out thanks to a sympathetic judge and federal prosecutor.
Pennsylvania woman tried to sell Nancy Pelosi's laptop to Russia. She could be charged with espionage.
The idiot who wore a Viking hat and called himself the QAnon Shaman begged the federal prosecutors to give him a break. He said he was brainwashed.
He reportedly refused to eat because the food served was not organic. Subsequently, a court ordered that he receive organic food. His attorney publicly called on then president Trump to pardon his client, arguing that the idiot had been unarmed, not violent, and not destructive, and had been acting on the "invitation" of the President. In a January 14 court filing, federal prosecutors said that he had left a note on former vice president Pence's desk in the Senate chamber that said "It's only a matter of time, justice is coming.
His lawyer said that the idiot "regrets very very much having not just been duped by the President, but by being in a position where he allowed that duping to put him in a position to make decisions he should not have made."
The woman who flew a private jet to Washington, DC and proceeded into the Capitol pleaded with Trump to pardon her because she was "fighting for him." She started a couple of GoFundMe accounts to solicit donations since her business took a hit and no lawyer wants to defend her now that she's indicted for criminal charges.
The woman could lose her realtor's license in Texas because of her actions.
Another woman from Pennsylvania was sent to in-house after the judge determine she wasn't a flight risk. This woman allegedly tried to sell Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) laptop to the Russian Federation.
Texas realtor who is a MAGA MILF says she's getting death threats and her business is ruined. The white extremist is facing 10 years.
That riled up Black Lives Matter. They said that these white people are getting treated way differently than those who protest injustice. These folks tried to overthrow the United States government.
Like the Kenosha, Wisconsin incident where a white extremist traveled from Illinois to "protect" the businesses in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake shot and killed two men and injured another. He managed to walk past police and head home. He got him something to eat. He got a night's rest. He managed to talk to his preacher, his lawyer and his mother before he turned himself in. He got donations from far-right extremists and Rickey Schroeder, a washed up 1980s actor.
This is the reason to why it's important for President Joe Biden to get the ball rolling on criminal justice reform, police reform and eliminate domestic extremism.
The far-right and the leftists agitators who attack Biden are conspiring for another insurrection.
Sean "Screwball" Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin, Bill O'Reilly, Fox News, OANN, Newsmax and far-right agitators on social media deserve blame for the insurrection.
White extremist wearing the Camp Auschwitz hoodie is arrested along with the guy who broke Nancy Pelosi's nameplate.
Tariq Nasheed, Ryan Knight, Katie Halper, Kyle Kulinski, Krystal Ball, Nina Turner, Benjamin Dixon, Jeffrey Shaun King, The Young Turks and leftists on social media are responsible for the unrest in Portland, Seattle and partially the blame for the insurrection.
I would hope that social media cancels their platforms.
President Joe Biden called for unity. He said the time is now to lower the temperature and bring America back together. His calls will be ignored by these individuals. It's time to start holding these folks accountable.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Trump is innocent until proven guilty in the trial of the U.S. Senate. It will begin in February and could last a week. If convicted, he will be forbidden from running for federal office, he will lose his presidential pension, his Secret Service protection and be held liable for any lawsuits by those affected in the U.S. Capitol chaos.
Americans are catching COVID-19 faster and it's getting more deadlier for those who continue to not practice social distancing and not wear a damn mask.
The original King of Talk has passed away.
CNN confirms Lary King has passed away at the age of 87. Born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger, the Brooklyn born broadcaster had a larger than life personality on radio, television and paid commercials. He won two Peabodys, an Emmy and 10 Cable Ace Awards.
He adopted the "Larry King" persona after the radio general manager told him he sound too ethnic and people wouldn't remember his name as Zeiger. So he legally changed his name and used his name throughout the time.
King did have a brush with law enforcement in 1971. He was arrested for grand larceny by a former business partner. He ended up having his legal matters settled by then.
Larry King was a lifelong Dodgers fan. He often went to the games. He couldn't last year watch his team win the World Series due to health issues and the pandemic.
King died shortly after he tested positive for COVID-19. The former CNN host was personally courted by CNN founder Ted Turner to host a primetime television show which he hosted from the 1980s until 2010. He was an icon among talk show hosts.
His son, Chance who also tested positive for COVID-19 said that he passed away Saturday morning.
For over 25 years, Larry King had hosted the CNN show interviewing celebrities, athletes, movie stars, everyday people, presidential candidates and presidents. He had taped over 6,000 episodes.
King had interviewed, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. He had interviewed future presidents Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden when they were then a business mogul and U.S. Senator.
"With profound sadness, Ora Media announces the death of our co-founder, host and friend, Larry King, who passed away at age 87 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles," the statement said. "For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larry's many thousands of interviews, awards,and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster."
King had been hospitalized with COVID-19 in December.
"We mourn the passing of our colleague Larry King," Jeff Zucker said in a statement.
Larry King has interviewed presidents. Here's Larry with Barack Obama.
"The scrappy young man from Brooklyn had a history-making career spanning radio and television. His curiousity about the world propelled his award-winning career in broadcasting, but it was his generosity of spirit that drew the world to him. We are so proud of the 25 years he spent with CNN, where his newsmaker interviews truly put the network on the international stage. From our CNN family to Larry's we send our thoughts and prayers, and a promise to carry on his curiousity for the world in our work."
King has suffered a number of health issues. He had several heart attacks and battled with lung cancer. He was smoker until 2015.
He successfully underwent surgery to treat it. He also underwent a procedure in 2019 to address angina.
King had lost two of his adult children within weeks. Andy, 65 (his adopted son) passed away from a heart attack. Chala died after being diagnosed with lung cancer. King has three other sons.

At the time he was separated from his seventh wife, Shawn. He was married eight times.
She separated from King in late 2019. King was married eight times.
The broadcaster had back to back deaths in his family. His adopted son, Andy passed away from a heart attack. His daughter, Chaia died of lung cancer.
It been a rough year in 2020. Expect things to get worse in 2021.
The coronavirus does not care about your race, gender, sexuality, religion, politics, your thoughts on wearing a mask, your thoughts on opening up America, your job, your vacation, your education, your personal wealth or who won an election.
The coronavirus is a disease that can kill.
Larry interviews then senator Joe Biden.
It has killed over 400,000 Americans and is on track to take nearly 1 million.
Former president Donald J. Trump never took the pandemic seriously until he caught it. But since he's the president, he gets quality health care while some are paying up to $2 million to be treated for the severe cases of the coronavirus.
President Joe Biden has stated that the United States could lose a population as big as Philadelphia in the next three months if Americans refuse to take the pandemic seriously.
The Capitol Police are going to crack down on lawmakers who defy their orders. Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) tried to bring a firearm on the House chamber floor.

The Republicans are going to get a wake up call in 2022 if they don't pull their heads out their asses. They better get use to the new norms.
If the average American has to go through wands and metal detectors to get into airports, clubs and schools, they better get use to it if they want to be on the House and Senate floor.
The Republicans are screaming and pouting over the new rules imposed on the Capitol in the wake of the insurrection.
President Joe Biden has issued an executive order mandating that federal workers must wear mask in order to enter federal buildings and federal lands. American lawmakers are no longer allowed to be on the chambers' floors without facial masks.
They are no longer allowed to bring firearms into the chamber. They can allow the firearms in their offices though.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), Rep. Lauren Boebart (R-CO), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and other Republicans are trying to defy the rules by staging stunts to show their base that they're still MAGA.
The House Speaker warned that insubordination will lead to fines and possible expulsion from the U.S. House of Representatives.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), the Karen QAnon lawmaker being patted down.
During a House vote Thursday afternoon, Harris was stopped at security and then immediately turned around. He briefly huddled with Rep. John Katko (R-NY) by the elevators and may have discussed the weapon with Katko, according to a report by HuffPost.
"One security official present saw a firearm on the person of Rep. Harris and relayed that to his superiors," a Capitol official told NBC News. "To be clear, Rep. Harris did not enter the Floor."
The metal detectors were ordered put in place after the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. They have become a flashpoint among some Republican members, and they have at times created tension with police.
Republican members have chafed at walking through magnetometers and submitting to hand wandings. At one door alone Thursday, at least a half-dozen evaded or brushed past officers, despite the threat of fines.
The Capitol official added that House members are allowed to carry firearms "in the halls and on Capitol grounds, including the Capitol Building but not the Floor," adding that "ammo has to be separately compartmentalized."
Harris' office responded to a request for comment overnight.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) grumbles as he goes through the metal detector.
"Because his and his family's lives have been threatened by someone who has been released awaiting trial, for security reasons, the Congressman never confirms whether he nor anyone else he's with are carrying a firearm for self-defense. As a matter of public record, he has a Maryland Handgun Permit. And the congressman always complies with the House metal detectors and wanding. The Congressman has never carried a firearm on the House floor," the statement said.
The insurrection which happened in early January led to five people being killed. Numerous supporters of former president Donald J. Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the Electoral College.
Trump whipped up the crowd to march to the Capitol to tell Americans to deny his successor the presidency.
They managed to break into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) office and stole property and left death threats. They also threatened former vice president Mike Pence and called him a traitor for not subverting the will of the American voters.
The insurrection led to Trump being impeached again and now the Senate will be handed the Articles of Impeachment on Monday by Pelosi. If convicted by the Senate, he will be forbidden from ever running from federal office, he will be held liable for the insurrection, he will lose his presidential pension, he will lose his U.S. Secret Service protection and he will be criminally charged in U.S. federal courts.
Pelosi has ordered that the House chamber has metal detectors.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Minority Leader of the Senate wants to delay the trial. He urges the Speaker to deliver them in late January. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Majority Leader of the Senate basically said the Senate can confirm nominees and still hold a trial. He said onward.
The Republicans are responsible for the unrest in America. Under Trump, the county has become bitterly divided. With this pandemic killing over 400,000 Americans, the Republicans continue to act like this is "business as usual" when it comes to rules.
They have signalled they're not going to support President Joe Biden's proposals to help Americans struggling through this pandemic. Americans have lost their jobs in this pandemic.
They got hefty medical bills, mortgages and rent to pay and bills to pay.
They are hungry and are struggling to feed their families.
Republicans are so emboldened on their white nationalist principles. They don't see that they're going to spark another insurrection by their inactions and their resistence to Biden.
One of the greatest baseball players of all time has passed away. The passing of Hank Aaron has been confirmed by his family and his publicist.
Henry Louis Aaron, nicknamed "Hammer" or "Hammerin' Hank," was an American Major League Baseball right fielder. He played 21 seasons for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves in the National League and two seasons for the Milwaukee Brewers in the American League, from 1954 through 1976.
Born in Mobile, Alabama, on Feb. 5, 1934, Henry Louis Aaron was one of eight children born to Herbert and Estella Aaron.
As a boy, growing up in the poor ghettos of Moblie, Hank wanted to be a success. He knew how to play baseball and wanted to join the leagues. He wanted to embrace the legends like Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays.
Aaron had his first major league tryout as a 15-year-old with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1949.
Although he did not make that team, he did make an impact and returned to school to get his diploma.
In November 1951, at the age of 17, Aaron began his minor league career with the Indianapolis Clown’s organization of the negro leagues.
Seven months later, in June 1952, Aaron chose to sign with the Boston Braves over the New York Giants, because the Braves offered $50 more a month.
The Braves had their 21-year-old building block. The Giants missed out on a Hank Aaron, Willie Mays outfield tandem.
Instead, the tandem of the Braves franchise in Bean Town was over. The team moved to Milwaukee in 1953, and one year later, Aaron made the big-league roster.
That first season, Aaron wore No. 5. He switched to No. 44 in 1955. That same year, at age 21, Aaron made the first of his record 21 All-Star selections and his record 25 All-Star appearances.
Aaron won the National League batting title in 1956 and won his only MVP award the following year after hitting 322 and finishing in the top three in all three triple crown batting categories.
He capped his MVP ’57 season by clinching the pennant with a home run in inning 393 in a seven-game World Series victory over the New York Yankees.
The Braves moved to Atlanta in time for the 1966 season, and within two years, Aaron was recording milestones in Georgia.
Aaron said he knew that Atlanta was becoming the hub for the civil rights movement and said he didn’t think he would become a figure that would emerge out of that movement.
“To be honest with you, I felt a little ashamed of myself, because I was so far back in the sticks, in the woods, that I didn’t know what was going on. It kind of made me start thinking, realizing that, regardless of what I achieved in life, no matter whether it’s baseball, football, basketball, life, lawyers, whatever it may be, that I still had a role to play,” Aaron said.
Aaron recalls when he finally realized he was now part of a changing world.
Hank Aaron is beloved by many of the great stars of the MLB.
“I think it hit me when we played an exhibition game, and I don’t know when, in Macon. I think it hit me when I realized that I had some kind of role that I should be playing. I’m not talking about a baseball role, I’m not talking about somebody going out on the baseball field, someone who had a role to play to help other blacks like myself,” Aaron told Klein.
As Aaron started turning into “Hammerin’ Hank,” he would eventually meet the biggest figure of the civil rights movement – right in the stands.
“I didn’t spend much time with him. I met him here, at the ballpark. Came here with some other friends of his, and I met him then. I didn’t spend as much time as I would have loved to have spend with him. I made that up, of course, by spending a lot of time, and still spending a lot of time, with my brother now, Andy Young. I wish I could have spent a lot of time,” Aaron said.
“I realized he was the voice of a lot of African-Americans around. I realized that he did some things, said some things that you started thinking, you know, if things had been a little different we could have done this, and he was making it a reality. He was making all those things a reality.”
Aaron became the first player in Major League history to record 500 homers and 3,000 hits. He went on to hit 40 or more home runs seven different times, finishing third in the MVP voting six times.
At the age of 37, he hit his career high in home runs, 47 of them and set a new career best in slugging percentage.
At age 39, Aaron recorded his eighth 40-homer season finishing that year with 713 for his career, just one home run shy of Babe Ruth’s major league record.
That offseason, Aaron received numerous death threats and loads of racist letters.
“Dear Hank Aaron, Retire or DIE!!! The Atlanta Braves will be moving around the country and I’ll move with them …” Aaron recalled one of the letters saying.
The hand-scrawled letter went on to lists dates and cities for Braves games and issued more threats.
Aaron said he slept at the ball park on several occasions, because for him that was a safe place.
“The greatest protection I had for myself, regardless to whatever I was doing, even when I got all of the threat letters that I got, is that the greatest moment I had, and the safest moments for me, were right here at the ballpark. For some reason I always felt like I was safe in this ball park,” Aaron said.
Hank Aaron said to Barack Obama, the racists will never love you. He said do what's best for the world.
The U.S. Postal Service honored Aaron for receiving nearly 1 million pieces of mail, more than any non-politician.
But the pressure was unrelenting throughout the offseason prior to the 1974 campaign.
With Aaron just one homer shy of the record, Braves management wanted the team to open at the Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, but the Braves schedule had them playing their first three games in Cincinnati.
Aaron tied the record in his first at-bat with his very first swing of the season. He did not play another game until April 8, 1974, against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In front of 53,775 spectators and a national TV audience, Aaron broke the Babe’s record with home run No. 715.
Because of the threat of violence against Aaron, his family would have to join the millions of people to see the record setting home run from home.
Aaron’s son, Lary, who was 16 at the time, said he was terrified when his father made the historic hit.
“When the guys ran out on the field, it was most scary part,” Lary Aaron told Mississippi Braves radio announcer Kyle Tait. “We didn’t know who they were.”
He hit his 733rd and final home run as a Brave on Oct. 2 of that year.
The Braves traded Aaron to the Milwaukee Brewers prior to the 1975 season and Aaron broke Ruth’s RBI
record and hit his final 22 home runs in a Brewer’s uniform, hitting a 755th final home run on July 20, 1976.
After a 23-year career, Aaron retired in 1976 as Major League Baseball’s all-time leader in home runs. He remains the all-time leader in career RBIs, extra base hits and total bases.
Aaron also ranks in the top five in career hits, runs at bat and games played.
The Brewer’s retired Aaron’s No. 44 in 1976. The Braves retired his uniform in 1977.
Aaron was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982 and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002.
The world will remember Hammering Hank.
Aaron had held various positions in the Braves front office since his retirement. He also has statues outside Turner Field, SunTrust Park and Miller field in Milwaukee.
Despite all of his accomplishments on the ball field, there is still a lot of work that need to happen off the field.
“My hope is one day people will judge me by character rather than by the context of my color. And I think when that day comes, that’s the day I’m going to say ‘Hallelujah’,” Aaron said.
“God put you here for a reason. And the reason he put you here is not for you to stand still. He put you here to make you understand that ... you gotta do all you can to try and make things better for other people.”
On Jan. 5, Aaron received his COVID-19 vaccine at Morehouse alongside his close friend Ambassador Andrew Young and Dr. Louis Sullivan.
“I feel wonderful,” Aaron told us that day. “It makes you feel like you are doing something not only to help yourself, but to help your community.”
When Aaron remarked about then President Barack Obama, he earned the ire of Republicans and conservatives.
"To remind myself," Aaron tells USA TODAY Sports, "that we are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record. If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have happened in this country, but we have so far to go. There's not a whole lot that has changed.
"We can talk about baseball. Talk about politics. Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he's treated.
"We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country.
"The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts."

White nationalist lawmaker, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) takes a bold step to impeach the 46th President of the United States. Only a mere two days in office.
President Joe Biden said in his inaugural address that the time is now to take on the coronavirus pandemic, fight against domestic terrorism and plead for unity among the Democratic and Republican parties.
So far the message is ignored by the far-right and it's already off to a great start for one freshman lawmaker who openly embraces QAnon.
In an attempt to protest the House of Representatives impeaching former president Donald J. Trump again, Greene decides to throw shit to the wall hoping it will stick.
The Congresswoman later released a full statement, stating that Biden "is unfit to hold the office of the Presidency," accusing him of abuse of power during his time as vice president in the Obama White House, and accusing him of "blatant nepotism" with regards to his son Hunter.
The far-right is obsessed with Hunter Biden. They are trying their hardest to push a narrative against Biden. Their narrative will start another insurrection and I see the writing on the wall.
Greene had originally announced her plans shortly after the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump a second time.
She said in a tweet on Jan. 13th, "On January 21st, I’m filing Articles of Impeachment on President-elect. 75 million Americans are fed up with inaction. It’s time to take a stand. I’m proud to be the voice of Republican voters who have been ignored."
Greene's office provided us with the following statement after her Jan. 13th announcement:
"We have to make sure our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a President of the United States that is willing to abuse their power and be easily bought off by foreign governments. On behalf of the American people, I will introduce articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden on January 21st for his corrupt dealings with Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies and his abuse of power as Vice President by threatening to withhold foreign aid to bail out his son Hunter Biden by demanding the firing of a foreign prosecutor."
Greene, who endorsed the QAnon conspiracies posed with the mother of Rayshard Brooks' killer.
She called the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas mass shooting a "false flag."
Twitter and Facebook are monitoring her profiles to make sure she isn't inciting violence and promoting misinformation. Twitter suspended her personal account for 12 hours after she embraced violence against Democrats.
Karen is trying to stop socialism by embracing white supremacy.
Because Democrats control the House, there is no indication the House Speaker would consider taking up these articles.
It is also not clear whether other government representatives will be following her lead.
Sean Hannity is the official screwball of the Republican Party.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE NOW!
GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!
Sean "Screwball" Hannity immediately started his war on President Joe Biden. No soon than the president was sworn in the annoying far-right agitator began his campaign to undermine his agenda.
The Daily Show made a tweet on Wednesday suggesting the agitator will blame Biden for the 400,000 deaths related to the coronavirus pandemic. Almost three hours after that tweet, the agitator on his right wing carnival said blamed Biden for the deaths.
It appears that the agitator refuses to heed the calls for unity. In his inaugural address, Biden called for unity and respect of one another. He said his mission is to promote facts and not lie to the American people just to make difficult problems go away. Biden said that he is responsible for the country and he said he will work for his supporters and rivals.
Immediately after the speech, the screwball said that the speech was like being in a student council. The screwball is not a doctor but claimed that Biden is frail, weak and mentally unstable.
He vows to "vet" Biden and quickly blamed his cable news rivals for not holding him accountable for his actions. Mind you that Biden took the oath of office on Wednesday.
HANNITY: Biden’s Address More Like ‘Student Council Speech’ From a Guy ‘Craving a Nap’ https://t.co/LqDyMof9SL
The screwball said that Biden didn't have a large crowd like his predecessor on his way out.
Mind you we are in a pandemic where it's dangerous to be in large gatherings.
In the wake of the U.S. Capitol chaos, accountability will be a major factor in the Biden administration. The job of his allies is to stop the noise from instigating another insurrection.
On January 6, 2021, former president Donald J. Trump instigated a mob of his supporters to attack democracy. The former president refused to concede to an election he lost in November.
He wanted Republicans and his former vice president Mike Pence to subvert the will of the American people by overturning the results. His mob listened and stormed the Capitol and caused damage to it. They also stole property from House Speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and threatened to kill her and Pence.
Those involved will be criminally charged and could face 10 to LIFE if convicted.
The insurrection led to Trump being the first U.S. president to be impeached twice. Now in the first weeks of Biden's presidency, the U.S. Senate will conduct a trial to determine if Trump is guilty of instigating and willingly subverting the will of the American voter through an insurrection. If found guilty, he will be barred from running for federal office. He will be denied a presidential pension and be stripped of his Secret Service detail. He will also be held liable for damages and lawsuits by those who were injured and killed. Five people died in the insurrection.
This annoying agitator should be held accountable for this. For over 20 years, "Screwball" Hannity has promoted conspiracies and misinformation. He has been relentlessly attacking Democrats and Republicans who refuse to listen to his bullshit.
He along with Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Alex Jones, Dan Bongino, Newsmax, OANN and Fox News are directly responsible for the insurrection.
Biden will work to hard to get things back to normal. He will also have to fight misinformation from the far-right.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith (R-MS), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Rep. Lauren Boebart (R-CO), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) should be held accountable for the insurrection.
These lawmakers along with nearly 100 other Republicans refused to acknowledged that Biden won fair and square. The Republican Party appears to support the baseless crap that screwball's been promoting. Now because of this, the Republicans are infighting with one another going into the Midterms. There's talk that Republicans could split into a third party. I strongly doubt it will happen.
This could be the year we finally see the beginning of the end of Sean Hannity. We are going to make this a mission to have advertisers and sponsors drop him. He is responsible for the insurrection against democracy.
He is whipping up his viewers and listeners into creating another insurrection.
Talk radio has been a toxic influence on white extremism. Conservative talk radio has been profitable since the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. Many agitators in the media have supported the notion that the election was "stolen" from Trump. They now will resort to undermining Biden by blaming him for the pandemic and the economy if it collapses.
We must not allow this to happen.
Sleeping Giants, Medias Touch, Media Matters for America and Color of Change will be instrumental in this mission. They worked hard to keep Alex Jones and his conspiracies from reaching mainstream and brought to life Bill O'Reilly's sex scandals which led to his cannon firing at Fox News.
If one agitator can have the same lawyer as the president, promote baseless conspiracies, instigate mob violence, and repeatedly remind his audience he's not a journalist, it's about time for the American people to use capitalism to force advertisers off this far-right annoyance's payroll. It will lead to his termination.
Ratings and advertisers matter. It will be very important to do something now! Fox News is tanking because they failed to deliver Trump a second term. Now it's time to hold them accountable for the years of promoting misinformation and instigating an insurrection.
