For over six months, Denver residents were left wondering why somebody would kill a family of five.

Tragedy in the state of Colorado. Was this a hate crime?

I don't know but I know that the suspects are being held as adults and they will face criminal counts.

In Denver, Colorado, three teens are facing murder, arson, burglary and a slew of other charges after they were accused of killing a family of five in their home.

This family were immigrants from Senegal and their death has sparked concern in the city and the nation. Colorado governor Jared Polis, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were notified of this tragedy.

This incident happened six months ago. 

The victims, Djibril Diol, 29, his wife Adja, 23, their two year old daughter Khadija, Djibril's sister Hassan, 25, and her daughter Hawa were killed. The family and friends said that Adja, Khadija, Hassan and Hawa had recently immigrated to the states from Senegal.

Two teens are being charged as adults in the murder of Djibril Diol and his family.

The suspects are named because they're being charged as adults. They have a lot of criminal charges on them which could carry LIFE or DEATH in the state of Colorado. The three were arrested in Jefferson County. They are not related but each person knows one another.

Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen said that the two suspects are 16 and one is 15. 

Their motives were not explained but they have enough evidence to prosecute these terrorists.

"The evidence that we have uncovered and the circumstances and facts that we have found do not indicate that this is a bias-motivated crime," Pazen said.

One of the suspect's family members arrested on unrelated charges.

The case put the Senegalese community on edge as it went unsolved for months, despite a reward growing to $50,000 and appeals from friends and family for tips. Police said they assigned two detectives to work on the case full time and had help from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as well as the U.S. Secret Service.

The Denver District Attorney's Office said Tuesday both teens are charged with 60 felony counts including first-degree murder, attempted murder, first-degree and second-degree assault, first and fourth-degree arson, first and second-degree burglary, conspiracy charges, and other sentencing enhancers.  

They also face several violent crime counts, which are sentencing enhancers. That means, if convicted, they could face additional time behind bars.

The Denver District Attorney said Tuesday that they'll make a request for the case against him to be transferred from Juvenile Court to Denver District Court.

The 15-year old defendant is charged with 47 counts including first-degree murder, attempted murder, first-degree and second-degree assault, first and fourth-degree arson, first and second-degree burglary, conspiracy charges and a sentence enhancer of aggravated juvenile offender.

A woman who is related to one of the suspects was also arrested during the course of the investigation, but has not been charged in relation to the fire.

The woman, 23, was arrested while in possession of marijuana and a firearm, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) 

Did these individuals commit a hate crime?
Yes
No

The suspect has been charged with the following federal crimes:

Possession of marijuana with intent to distribute (less than 50 kilograms)

Possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime

The federal sandwich this woman is facing could carry up to 20 years in the iron college.

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



The Impeachment πŸ‘ Trial Of Former President Donald J. Trump!

As we come to day four of the impeachment trial of the 45th President of the United States, we are reminded that Americans believe that the former president is responsible for the insurrection.

Donald J. Trump's legal team are going to use the Sean "Screwball" Hannity talking points in their one day of defense. The former president is impeached on inciting an insurrection. If found guilty, he will be barred from running for federal office. He will lose his presidential pension. He will be held liable for any legal ramifications.

The lawyers will take quotes from Democrats to undermine the impeachment managers arguments.

Apparently, Republican senators met with them.

Yesterday, we heard the impeachment managers wrap up their case. Many of the Republican senators as expected were not paying any much attention to it. It was reported that 15 senators were caught on camera doing doodles, drinking milk and tea, talking with Trump's legal team and basically being assholes.

The impeachment lawyers also revealed the videos that showed Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) being quickly escorted out of the Senate chambers. 

Michael van der Veen will use selective quotes to defend Trump.

They shown videos of former vice president Mike Pence being escorted out of the chambers.

The impeachment managers also shown scenes where Trump encouraged violence and promoted extremism.

Now Michael van der Veen, Bruce Castor and David Schoen are going to defend Trump by playing clips of Democrats criticizing the former president and using inflammatory rhetoric.

The insurrection happened on January 6, 2021. The former president is accused of inciting a mob of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol. The event led to four rioters being killed. The even also led to the death of a U.S. Capitol officer Brian Sicknick.

His supporters claim they were answering the call to "stop the steal." 

Many of these individuals are charged with federal crimes. Some are facing up to 40 years in the iron college. Many of these folks have financial struggles. They believed what they've done was right.

The rioters knew where to go when they were looking for Pelosi.

Now they're losing their jobs, their reputations and their freedoms. It appears that many of them are now placed on the "no fly list' because of the insurrection.

The Democratic House Impeachment managers offered Trump an opportunity to testify under oath. He refused. Now his lawyers are going to find some reason to deflect the impeachment trial to false equivalencies. 

Does Donald J. Trump deserve the blame for the insurrection?
Yes
No

Trump has long complained about the election being rigged against him. When he lost to Joe Biden, the former president continued to push the narrative there was election fraud. He practically sued the states of Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona to force them to throw out votes.

He also pressured Arizona and Georgia's state leaders to change the results. 

I want to remind you that the videos are graphic and some language is offensive. 

This will be the House Impeachment managers' last day to push forth their case against the former president.



Kyrsten Sinema Won't Support $15 Wage!

Arizona senator says she will not support a minimize wage increase. 

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) will not back President Joe Biden's coronavirus pandemic relief package if it includes the raising of the minimum wage to $15.

“What’s important is whether or not it’s directly related to short-term COVID relief. And if it’s not, then I am not going to support it in this legislation,” Sinema said in an interview with Politico.

“The minimum wage provision is not appropriate for the reconciliation process. It is not a budget item. And it shouldn’t be in there,” the Arizona Democrat added.

Democrats are hoping to push through a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package using budget reconciliation, a parliamentary procedure that allows them to approve the legislation with a simple majority of 51 votes rather than the 60 votes normally required.

The Senate is currently split evenly with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans. If no Republican crosses party lines to vote for the relief bill, Democrats would need all Democrats to vote as a bloc, and Vice President Kamala Harris would cast the deciding vote in favor of the package.

Another moderate Democrat, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, has also added to his party’s travails regarding the relief bill’s passage, saying he would not support including a federal $15 minimum wage either.

President Biden admitted last week that the relief bill likely would not pass with the $15 federal minimum wage provision.

“I put it in but I don’t think its going to survive,” Biden said.

The president said he would attempt to pass a $15 federal minimum wage in a stand-alone bill.

Sinema, the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Arizona in 30 years, is also reluctant to approve legislation with a simple majority of senators through the budget reconciliation process, rather than clearing the normal legislative hurdle.

“I want to restore the 60-vote threshold for all elements of the Senate’s work,” she said.

Twitter Bans Hoax Blog Project Veritas!

Twitter bans far right grifter's hoax blog

Far-right hoaxster blog Project Veritas is the latest to join the permanent ban lost on Twitter.

In the wake of the US Capitol riots, Twitter and Facebook are cracking down on misinformation, racism, and fake news. The most famous permanent ban was former President Donald J. Trump.

Far-right agitator James O'Keefe has not been banned on Twitter as of yet. He did confirm his account was locked out with a pending suspension.

O'Keefe, perhaps best known as the ACORN Pimp is a chaos agent and agent provocateur.

The 36-year old white nationalist is most famous for using deceptive videos to paint a community and voting organization in a negative light. It led to many of those workers getting fired. It also led to a federal lawsuit by five of those individuals. Project Veritas was ordered to pay for damages.

The one attempt to break into then U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu's office made him a felon who was later pardoned by former President Trump. 

He tried to taint CNN, The Washington Post and Democratic-leaning political groups with his shady tactics. His gotcha journalism often is met with potential criminal charges.

O'Keefe and five of his allies are ridiculed, permanently banned from employment and often exposed before they even make it through the door.

Hannah Giles, the ACORN prostitute dropped out of the limelight after O'Keefe left her out in the cold. She has since moved on to marriage and children. 

Twitter says it has permanently suspended the account of the right-wing guerilla news outlet Project Veritas and locked its founder James O'Keefe out of his account.

Project Veritas is out of business on Twitter.

 A spokesperson for Twitter confirmed to Fox News that @Project_Veritas was "permanently suspended for repeated violations of Twitter’s private information policy." Additionally, the account, @JamesOKeefeIII, was "temporarily locked for violating our private information policy" and that O'Keefe is "required to delete the violative Tweet to regain access to their account."

Fox News has learned that the suspension came just 20 minutes after Project Veritas attempted to appeal Twitter's decision to lock both accounts after they shared a video showing Project Veritas journalist Christian Hartsock approaching Facebook executive Guy Rosen outside of his home. The confrontation was over remarks he made during an internal video conference that was previously leaked to Project Veritas.

n the leaked video that Project Veritas released last week, Rosen, who is Facebook's vice president of "integrity," is heard saying on the Jan. 7 conference that the tech giant has a "system" of being able to "freeze commenting" on threads that are flagged as containing "hate speech or violence."

A source tells Fox News that Project Veritas never received a formal response to its appeal regarding the tweets in question but only received an email notifying about the suspension of @Project_Veritas. 

"Note that if you attempt to evade a permanent suspension by creating new accounts, we will suspend your new accounts," Twitter warned Project Veritas in the email obtained by Fox News. 

In a statement to Fox News, O'Keefe said Twitter's claim that his tweets "published private information" was "false" and that Twitter "invited" Project Veritas to appeal the decision.

"In an apparent act of retaliation for daring to question their authority, Twitter responded to our appeal by suspending our account, continuing to tell us that Project Veritas could delete the tweet and have our account reinstated," O'Keefe stated. "This is nothing new from Twitter – just last fall Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted in Congress his company’s decision to block the New York Post was erroneous while still demanding the Post kneel before them by deleting the tweet.  Here we go again – Twitter opting to delete news and demand fealty when their decision is dared to be questioned."

The Acorn Pimp stunt cost James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles.

"I will not kneel," O'Keefe declared. "Twitter is wrong.  Let them kneel."

O'Keefe later announced his return to Twitter after revealing in a video that he removed the tweet that allegedly violated the platform's policies in order to reinstate his account.

Project Veritas has been making headlines in recent weeks after various "whistleblowers" from Big Tech have been leaking internal conference calls to the outlet. Last month, Twitter itself was the subject of such leaks, which showed its CEO Jack Dorsey suggesting that Twitter's actions will be "much bigger" than the permanent suspension of then-President Donald Trump. 

"We know we are focused on one account right now, but this is going to be much bigger than just one account, and it’s going to go on for much longer than just this day, this week, and the next few weeks, and go on beyond the inauguration," Dorsey said. "So, the focus is certainly on this account and how it ties to real-world violence. But also, we need to think much longer-term around how these dynamics play out over time. I don't believe this is going away anytime soon."

Dorsey then referenced actions taken against QAnon conspiracy theorists as part of a recent purge of Twitter accounts, telling staff it's part of a "much broader approach that we should be looking at and going deeper on."

"You know, the U.S. is extremely divided. Our platform is showing that every single day," Dorsey later said. "And our role is to protect the integrity of that conversation and do what we can to make sure that no one is being harmed based off that. And that is our focus."

A Twitter spokesperson told Fox News, "The remarks shown in the video were delivered to our more than 5,400 employees and are nearly the same words Jack shared in a recent Tweet Thread offering context around and reflections on our work to protect the conversation in recent weeks." 

Last week, Project Veritas released footage featuring Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other executives admitting they have "too much power" while expressing eagerness to work with the Biden administration. 

Facebook did not respond to Fox News' request for comment at the time.

Today is the third day of the impeachment trial of the 45th President of the United States. 

Donald J. Trump became the first president in modern history to be impeached twice. The first trial was for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He was acquitted in 2020 when the Republican-controlled Senate refused to hold witnesses and prosecute him. Democrats warned that he would do it again. 

Well on January 6, 2021, Trump instigate a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. The riots were an attempt to stop the Electoral College from certifying Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 

The rioters were targeting former vice president Mike Pence, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the House Speaker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MN), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and then Senator Harris.

These individuals were likely going to be seriously injured or killed by the rioters.

Those who "stormed the Capitol" were arrested and are facing federal sandwiches. 

The former Texas realtor who flew on a private jet to Washington, DC and entered the Capitol stood by a broken window with the peace sign is finally "regretting her decision" to attend the "Stop The Steal" rally. She and two of her companions, a couple who are former realtors were arrested along with her.

Jenna Ryan, 50, said to The Washington Post that she now realized the aftermath of the Capitol riots. 

She is losing her realtor's license, she is facing a potential 10 year bid in federal time out, her radio program on local Dallas station is cancelled, she is being banned on many social media platforms and is getting called a "traitor." She said that the riots were a huge mistake and realized that Trump was only trying to soothe his massive ego at the expense of his supporters.

Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) won the day.

She said that she was caught up in the "garbage" Trump was speaking. Ryan, known as the MAGA Milf, was pressuring Trump for a pardon when she first got indicted for the riots.

Trump did not pardon any of the rioters. 

Her remarks come as many former Trump supporters are finally realizing that he wasn't there for them in the first place. As many of those rioters are being charged with federal sandwiches, they're realizing they have no money for bail, they are losing social media, they are getting fired from their jobs and a publicly ridiculed for trying to overthrow a democratic government because their candidate lost an election.

Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) is a delegate non-voting member of the House. She is the current congresswoman from the U.S. Virgin Islands brought the receipts.

Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) got a little bit emotional during one of the presentations.

Texas realtor regrets her actions now that she's facing time.

It was reported that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) were not paying attention to the House Impeachment managers.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) also interrupted the proceeding.

I want to remind you that the videos are graphic and some language is offensive. 

This will be the House Impeachment managers' last day to push forth their case against the former president.

If convicted Trump will be barred from running for federal office. He will lose his pension and will be held liable for any actions in criminal court.

Those involve are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 

Watch it live.

Pillow Fight

Progressive agitators launch Good Pillow to take on MyPillow.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES!

We're coming to the third year of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. A white extremist massacred 17 individuals on Valentine's Day. He was arrested without a bullet being fired. He is currently awaiting a state and federal trial. If found guilty in the state of Florida, the two options are LIFE or DEATH.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The mass shooting inspired the March for Our Lives Movement. It led the calls to force companies drop the National Rifle Association as a sponsor. It led the fight to keep Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) in Congress. McBath beats former lawmaker Karen Handel in rematch. It led to having freshman lawmaker and conspiracy nut Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) being stripped of her committee assignments. It led the fight to get the New York Attorney General Letitia James to strip the NRA of its non-profit status. The NRA had recently declared bankruptcy and is trying to find itself a new charitable organization to leach off of.

The most vocal member of March for Our Lives is a man who the far-right called a "crisis actor" and a "grifter." A person who became the most visible activist in the fight to stop gun violence.

David Hogg, one of the survivors of the Parkland massacre is launching a pillow company with progressive agitator and investor William LeGate. It's called Good Pillow and it's going against far-right agitator and business mogul Mike Lindell.

Progressive agitators David Hogg and William LeGate are competing with the MyPillow Guy.

The two said that their pillow company is going to be sponsored without corporate handouts. 

"It's going to take a couple of months though because we're not going to sacrifice quality for time," wrote Hogg. The company's website will be live soon, he added.

"I never have been so excited about a pillow in my life," Hogg said. "This kinda feels like a fever dream."

Lindell, who continues to promote the baseless conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, appeared unfazed by the challenge.

Mike Lindell is losing sponsors and is likely going to be sued for defamation.

"Good for them. ... nothing wrong with competition that does not infringe on someone's patent," he told Axios.

It's also attracted ire of two controversial rivals who were also survivors of that massacre.

Cam Kasky and Kyle Kashuv are controversial. 

Kasky is a leftist/libertarian agitator who formerly supported Bernie Sanders for president and attacked Biden and Hogg frequently on social media. He was forced out of March for Our Lives in 2019 after he made comments that were threatening to Jaclyn Corin and Hogg.

Kasky said Good Pillow was embarrassing. He said it was a cash grab and denounced it as a publicity stunt.

Kashuv is a far-right agitator who works for Turning Point USA also criticized the pillow by saying that Hogg's attempts to stay relevant ran its course.

Hogg shrugged off their criticism. He said on social media, "To all those seriously questioning my intentions... Sincerely, fuck off! I refuse to feel guilty about wanting to help people and feed myself and pay for therapy. You may not agree with how I do it -- but ultimately I know what my intentions are -- to help people. I'll prove it."

Hogg added, "To all the people that hate us for trying to make the world a better place, I hope you get the help you need because happiness is not gonna come from hate. It comes from working hard, doing good and having great friends. Hate all you want --- we will prove you wrong!"

That was a nice way to tell Kasky and Kashuv to shut the fuck up. 

Hogg went to The Reid Out on MSNBC. He told host Joy Reid that Greene harassing him and two young women showed the world how the lawmaker's immaturity and conspiracy theories done her in.

The infamous video still on Greene's YouTube page shows her verbally harassing Hogg while he was slated to testify to Congress. He was supposedly trying to get the Senate to pass the gun reform law that Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) sponsored.

Mike Lindell and the official MyPillow account were recently banned on Twitter. Lindell continues to push conspiracy theories about the election and is being threatened with a lawsuit from Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems.



PepsiCo Unveils The Replacement To Aunt Jemima!

Quaker Oats Company, a division of PepsiCo has unveiled the new logo to the former pancake and syrup brand Aunt Jemima. 

In the wake of the George Floyd murder, many American brands are changing course. 

Pearl Milling Company will be the official name to the longtime Aunt Jemima. The pancake mix and syrup had a caricature of a Black woman that was a racist stereotype.

The Pearl Milling Company is a homage to the original mill built in 1888 that began making the self-rising-pancake mix in 1889.

"Pearl Milling Company was a mall mill in the bustling town of St. Joseph, Missouri. Using a pearl milling technique, they produced flour, cornmeal, and, beginning in 1889, the famous self-rising pancake mix that would go on to be known as Aunt Jemima," read the company's website in a statement on Tuesday.

Aunt Jemima was one of the first brands to announce it would be changing its name last June.

The George Floyd tragedy was a wake up call. When that dirty cop placed his knee on that poor man's neck, it set off a chain of concerns. It showed the true meaning of police brutality. It showed white privilege. It showed a disconnect between the police and the residents they serve. It also opened up wounds of how they used to lynch Black men for minor crimes. It showed the world that America was truly fucked up. It also led to Donald J. Trump being denied a second term.

Which brand logo needs to be changed?
Red Man Tobacco
Land O'Lakes Margarine
Chicago Blackhawks
Chiquita Bananas
All of these above
Other
Please Specify:

It brought forth changes to a whole lot of things. 

The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) changed their name. Lady A (formerly Lady Antebellum) changed their name. 

Cream of Wheat, Uncle Ben's, Mrs. Butterworth, Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream and Eskimo Pie are confirming to changing their names and eliminating the stereotypes. No word on when Land O'Lakes, Sunmaid, Chiquita, Red Man Tobacco Company are going to change their mascot.

The Washington Football Team (formerly Washington Redskins) and the Cleveland Indians are planning on eliminating their mascots and changing their names. 

The Kansas City Chiefs are no longer allowing fans to use caricatures of Native Americans.

It's time to eliminate the caricatures and racism in the United States.

Trump's presidency has brought the worst of America out. The insurrection, the coronavirus pandemic and George Floyd change the country. We will now be holding folks accountable for their actions.

It's going to take time but we're in this together.

Larry Flynt Passed Away!

Larry Flynt passed away.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN! 

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

Free speech advocate and adult entertainment mogul Larry Flynt has passed away. He was a mixture of progressive and libertarian politics. He was often vilified by religious leaders as a "twisted pervert" which he wore like a badge of honor.

The founder of Hustler Magazine has passed away in Los Angeles at the age of 78. Flynt was survivor of gun violence, attempts at shutting his businesses down and lawsuits by the Moral Majority. He managed to outmaneuver his opponents.

Born in the Eastern Kentucky mountain town, Larry Claxton Flynt, Jr. was an American actor, publisher, businessman and activist. He was born in Lakeville to Larry, Sr. and Edith. He was the oldest of three children. He was living in a dysfunctional household. He dropped out of school in the ninth grade and did odd jobs for his family. He would run away from home to join the Army. He forged his birth certificate to get in. While in the Army he loved the game of poker and learned how to "hustle" his fellow soldiers out of money. He was discharged from the Army and went to live his mother in Indiana where he worked at the Inland Manufacturing Company, a GM affiliate.

He went back to Kentucky to be with his father. He learned to outmaneuver his first opponents, the law.

Cops were looking for him after they accused him of being a bootlegger. He managed to elude the law and went into the Navy briefly and had the opportunity to rescue the space capsule of John Glenn.

In the early 1960s, Flynt purchased a dive in Dayton, Ohio and he called it the Keewee. He would open up two other clubs in the city and was making bank. However, the police were calling it a nuisance because his bar would have frequent fights among patrons.

He decided to make himself a boss by opening up gentlemen's clubs and he called it the Hustler Club.

The first club built in Dayton was featuring nude hostess dancers. It was a hit with the patrons.

Larry and his brother Jimmy along with his then-girlfriend Althea Leasure partnered up to open up clubs across Ohio. The clubs opened in Cincinnati, Columbus, Akron, Toledo and Cleveland.

As of today, Hustler Club exists in Cleveland, San Diego, San Francisco, New Orleans, St. Louis, Baltimore, Shreveport, Las Vegas and the most recent opening in Nashville. The Hustler Club International are located in London, Warsaw, Poland and Melbourne, Australia.

He also wrote the first publication known as the Bachelor's Beat before it transitioned into Hustler.

Hustler is a groundbreaking adult magazine. It was rauncher than Playboy and expressed the desire to give women sexual freedom and the LGBTQ community an opportunity to make a living.

He was a legend. I mean you known a person who purchased a Hustler Magazine. Mind you Hustler wasn't just full frontal nudity and sex scenes... It was actually journalism. It covered sports, politics and sexual education. Things that you never expected out of a magazine that markets in nudity.

Flynt had been in frail health and died of heart failure at his Hollywood Hills home, said his nephew, Jimmy Flynt Jr.

From his beginnings as an Ohio strip club owner to his reign as founder of one of the most explicit adult-oriented magazines, Flynt constantly challenged the establishment and became a target for the religious right and feminist groups.

Flynt scored a surprising U.S. Supreme Court victory over the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who had sued him for libel after a 1983 Hustler alcohol ad suggested Falwell had lost his virginity to his mother in an outhouse.

Flynt's company produced not only Hustler but other niche publications. He owned a video production company, various websites, a Los Angeles-area casino and 10 Hustler boutiques. He also licensed the Hustler name to independently owned strip clubs.

Drudge paid homage to Larry Flynt.

His publishing and financial successes were offset in equal measure by controversies and tragedies.

Shot by a sniper in 1978, Flynt was paralyzed from the waist down and used a wheelchair the rest of his life. The shooter was white extremist Joseph Paul Franklin. That extremist was executed in a Missouri iron college in 2013. Flynt fought battles with drug and alcohol addiction, and his fourth wife died of a heroin overdose.

His daughter, Lisa Flynt-Fugate, died in a 2014 car crash in Ohio at age 47.

With a fortune estimated at more than $100 million, Flynt spent his later years in the political arena.

When Gov. Gray Davis was recalled by California voters in 2003, Flynt was among 135 candidates who ran to replace him. He called himself “a smut peddler who cares” and gathered more than 15,000 votes.

A self-described progressive, Flynt was no fan of former President Donald Trump. Before the 2016 election, he offered up to $1 million for video or audio recordings of Trump engaging in illegal or "sexually demeaning or derogatory" activity.

In 2017, Flynt offered a $10 million reward for evidence that would lead to Trump's impeachment, and in 2019, Larry Flynt Publications sent a Christmas card to some Republican congressional members that showed Trump lying dead in a pool of blood, with the killer saying: “I just shot Donald Trump on Fifth Avenue and no one arrested me” — a reference to Trump’s boast that he could commit such a killing and wouldn’t lose votes.

Flynt's life was depicted in the acclaimed 1996 film "The People vs. Larry Flynt," which brought Oscar nominations for director Milos Forman and Woody Harrelson, who played Flynt.
