The Trump of The Middle East is on his way out.
This despicable war criminal and white nationalist is another stain in the Middle East. He does not believe in peace. Only hatred and war is his only engagements.
Israeli prime minister Karen Netanyahu is a dangerous person. He is notorious for instigating violence and using an influence campaign to have America engaged in fighting on behalf of him. He opposes giving human rights to the people in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip. He orders his elite assassins to kill top scientists and critics of Israel in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, India and Syria.
His reign is about to be over if a coalition of political parties agree to for a new government. It will pave a way for this disaster to be out of office.
Karen Lapid, a centrist leader of the Yesh Atid has notified Karen Rivlin that the coalition is willing to be formed before the midnight deadline.
The coalition comes with a price. The centrists will align themselves with the extremist wing of Israeli politics on the far-right. The Yamina is a nationalist party that supports obliteration of the Gaza Strip and an end to the U.S.-Iranian nuclear deal. The deal was scrapped by Washed Up 45 in 2019.
Karen Bennett is willing to make the deal for his chance to be another war criminal. He is slated to be the next prime minister if the coalition takes shape. He will not work with President Joe Biden when it comes to Iran, Syria and the inhumane treatments of those in the occupied Palestine.
President Biden congratulated Israel's new president on his election on Wednesday amid the potential ouster of Netanyahu.
Israel’s parliament elected center-left politician Isaac Herzog to the nation’s number two post. He is expected to assume to the role in July at the end of the seven-year term of current Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.
Biden made no mention of Netanyahu in his statement late Wednesday, hours after a coalition reported to Rivlin that it had reached an agreement to replace the prime minister amid political turmoil in the country.
Biden said in the statement that he “extend my warm congratulations to Isaac Herzog on his election to serve as the 11th President of the State of Israel.”
New guy might be worst than Netanyahu.
“Throughout his career, President-elect Herzog has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to strengthening Israel’s security, advancing dialogue, and building bridges across the global Jewish community,” Biden said. “I am confident that under his presidency, the partnership between Israel and the United States will continue to grow and deepen.”
Biden also thanked Rivlin “for his many years of service to the people of Israel.” The president said he looked forward to welcoming Rivlin in Washington “in the coming weeks to honor his dedication to the enduring partnership and the close friendship between our two nations.”
Netanyahu has ruled for 12 consecutive years, and previously held a stint from 1996 to 1999, making him one of the country's most powerful premiers. But he failed several times to form a coalition that would keep him in power as the country faced four elections in two years.
The power-sharing deal to oust Netanyahu between Yair Lapid of the center-left Yesh Atid party and Bennett of the right-wing Yamina party would have Bennett serve the first two years of a four-year term, and Lapid finish the second year term.
Eight parties in total are parties to the deal, and includes the Arab group Raam, the first time in history an Arab group is part of a right-wing coalition. The Israeli parliament will now hold a confidence vote in the coming days to confirm the coalition’s status as the ruling government.
Even if he announces another run, Twitter and Facebook will not promote it.

The former president has officially shut down the knockoff Twitter.
The blog and official statements from Washed Up 45 was up for more than a month. I guess he could not muster up the nearly 90 million followers he once held when he had a Twitter account.
Before he was officially banned on Twitter, the former president kept promoting misinformation and repeated violations of terms. He often promoted violence whenever he went to tweeting something. It was the only way for him to officially get a statement out and it often bypasses the junk food media.
The insurrection was the final straw for Twitter. The social media app officially pulled his account after they determined the "Go home in peace. We love you!" was a dog whistle for potential violence.
Then he tried to bypass the ban by having multiple accounts tweet on behalf of him.
They were blocked too.
Now he's kept teasing he will launch a platform for social media content. But who's gonna host it?
I mean Google and Amazon will not host it.
The former president is bored out of his mind. He wants to return to hosting large rallies. But since he's not the President of the United States, he won't be allowed to use the U.S. Secret Service for those rallies.
He is not the Republican nominee so he won't have full-time access to the Secret Service.

It appears that the Democrats will retain the seat in New Mexico's 1st Congressional District.
One of the first Native American women to be in Congress is now the first White House Cabinet official.
Deb Haaland was picked to become the Secretary of Interior and it left a vacancy. Now with a razor thin majority, the Democrats need to retain every seat. With the redistricting coming next year, Democrats could lose control of the House of Representatives.
Enter the race to replace her.
Today is the special election. Two candidates running for the seat are competing for the spot. It appears that Democrat Melanie Stansbury is expected to win.
The district has been trending solidly Democratic since 2008, and voted for Joe Biden by 23 points.
With the races in Ohio being held in August for Marcia Fudge who left to join Housing and Urban Development and Steve Stivers who left to join Ohio's Chamber of Commerce, Democrats need all the energy to beat back the white nationalists in Congress.
Republicans are hoping to capitalize off of selective memory and culture wars. The window is so fucking short for President Joe Biden.
Republican Mark Moores who is expected to run again if he loses is going to bank on Washed Up 45's theme of being a "stolen election."
Washed Up 45 spent money listening to that annoying media agitator.

The one campaign ad that never made it to local televisions. It was only played exclusively on this shitshow of a primetime news and opinion show on Fox, It cost $1.2 million and it used the same shit that an annoying agitator harps on every fucking day.
We'll add this to the Sean "Softball" Hannity Word Vomit in August. This is another one of the many controversies facing the world's most annoying Karen. The annoying media personality we've talked about numerous times should be fired out the cannon. Unfortunately, the people in Fox believe he's untouchable.
So if he can get away with secretly helping a presidential candidate, sexually harass women, appear at a paid event for a group without disclosing his ties, appear at a charity event that is bilked as concert but only pays less than the costs, secretly engage with white nationalists, have the same lawyer as the former president and literally cheat on his wife with contributors to Fox, then I guess he's untouchable.
The Wall Street Journal's Michael C. Bender wrote that the annoying agitator was instrumental in helping craft a campaign to paint Joe Biden as a "swamp creature" who had 47 years of nothing done.
First nugget from my new book, “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost,” via @PunchbowlNews:
— Michael C. Bender (@MichaelCBender) June 1, 2021
Hannity denied any role in ad. He was slapped on the wrist by the network in 2016 for appearing in a Trump campaign spot.
Campaign emails refer to “the one Hannity wrote,” campaign aides confirmed the Fox anchor scripted the spot & Trump didn’t dispute.https://t.co/WjgLIOFbrA
— Michael C. Bender (@MichaelCBender) June 1, 2021
The spot was also heavy on language Hannity used on his show at the time: how Biden was a “forty-seven-year swamp creature” who had “accomplished nothing” and supported a “radical, socialist Green New Deal.”
— Michael C. Bender (@MichaelCBender) June 1, 2021
Inside the campaign, the spot was mercilessly mocked for its muddled msg and incendiary language: The ad attacked Biden over taxes, enviro policy, law & order, etc and Trump campaign lawyers edited out repeated instances of calling Biden a socialist.https://t.co/WjgLIOFbrA
— Michael C. Bender (@MichaelCBender) June 1, 2021
To animate the “Hannity ad,” the Trump campaign already had an image on file of a Chuck Schumer swamp creature—so they just clipped the head and pasted on Biden mug
— Michael C. Bender (@MichaelCBender) June 1, 2021
The ad putting Biden in the swamp with the U.S. Capitol calling him a swamp creature didn't resonate with voters and Washed Up 45 scrapped the ad.
The ad was almost exclusively viewed on that agitator's primetime shitshow.
The softball was involved in Washed Up 45's campaign. He is the official softball.
Bender reveals in the book that the ad was useless and Washed Up 45's campaign staff literally fumed at the waste of money given to make such a terrible ad. They refer it as "the Hannity" ad and "the one Hannity wrote."
The agitator denied he took any role in the campaign. Of course, he lambasted as another "hit piece by the left" going after conservatives. He said that they're trying to silence him. The agitator responded in proper fashion.
"The world knows that Sean Hannity supports Donald Trump. But my involvement specifically in the campaign -- no. I was not involved that much. Anybody who said that is full of shit."
A total waste of money.
Washed Up 45 did not deny the claims made against his favorite softball. He said that the agitator piece together his long winded monologues and gave producers of the commercial a hodge podge of bullshit.
The ad said that Biden was a "forty-seven-year swamp creature" with a "radical, socialist Green New Deal" who had accomplished nothing during his lengthy political career.
The book titled, "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story Of How Trump Lost."
It's expected to be released in August. Right around the time I'll do another Sean "Softball" Hannity Word Vomit.

Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced the new name of Warner Bros. Discovery. He and WarnerMedia COE Jason Kilar have confirmed the nerger.
The new tagline and logo will premiere in late 2021.
"We thought we need to represent, really, who are we? Who are we? What's our belief system? What's important to us? What do we get up and do every day," Zaslav said. "And we thought about Warner Brothers and the fact that Warner Brothers is something that the greatest content that over the last 98 years that has been produced. Most of it has been produced where at the end you see the word Warner Brothers. It's imprinted in all of us and what it says is it makes you smile, and it says this is a creative content company. This is where the best and the brightest come to tell their stories, and so we wanted to bring back the Brothers."
Zaslav also said the company's new tagline would be "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of," a line from Warner Bros. movie "The Maltese Falcon."
AT&T announced this month its plans to spin off WarnerMedia and combine it with Discovery. Zaslav was named the CEO of the company and the name of the company was kept a secret until Tuesday.

We ban people from wearing mask in public. You know the coronavirus was made up to hurt Donald J. Trump. Don't you know that the coronavirus is just a milder flu!
We ban transgender people from playing sports in schools and universities. After all, you are biologically born by gender. There is no such thing as transwoman or transman. You were a man and a woman. You can't tell GOD that you're a woman when you were born a man.

Gov. Karen Abbott demands the state Democrats to return back to the state so they can allow white nationalist pass the most restrictive voting bill in modern history.
Abbott, a Republican, threatened to veto funding for the state legislature Monday after Democrats blocked a controversial voting restrictions bill brought by the GOP. Abbott had said he would sign the bill into law.
Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives kept a bill with sweeping new voting restrictions from passing late Sunday night by walking out shortly before a midnight deadline, denying the majority Republicans a quorum.
The state constitution allows Abbott to veto certain items in bills, giving him the power to remove the funding for the legislature in the state budget.
"I will veto Article 10 of the budget passed by the legislature. Article 10 funds the legislative branch. No pay for those who abandon their responsibilities. Stay tuned," Abbott tweeted on Monday.
Defunding the legislature unlikely to have that much of an effect on state lawmakers, who earn only $7,200 per year when not in session and $38,140 when in session, meaning that most legislators hold outside employment when not in session. However, it will affect legislative staff, who are paid through the legislative branch.
"Punishing working class office staff, maintenance, and other support services because he didn't get every single one of his demands is very on-brand for Texas Republicans," Democratic state Representative Gene Wu said on Twitter in response to Abbott's announcement.
Abbott also announced Monday in a separate statement that he would call a special session of the legislature to address the bill, along with other issues.
"Ensuring the integrity of our elections and reforming a broken bail system remain emergencies in Texas, which is why these items, along with other priority items, will be added to the special session agenda," Abbott said.
Senate Bill 7, the measure blocked by Democrats, includes several controversial provisions that critics say would disproportionately affect poor and minority voters. It also specifically targets voting practices employed this past year in Harris County, the state's largest county, by banning drive-through voting and 24-hour voting. Those practices were used by 140,000 voters in 2020.
Karens in Texas.
S.B. 7 makes it a state jail felony for local officials to attempt to send mail-in ballot applications to voters who did not request them, a practice Harris County tried to do in 2020. The bill also limits early voting and implements more restrictions on absentee voting, including adding more identification requirements for those who wish to vote-by-mail.
Republicans are so invested in retaking back Congress and the White House. They are working hard to make sure Blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans and LGBTQ from voting in elections.
They fear that if these individuals come out and vote, the Republicans can lose power.
Many states are working to pass more restrictions to voting. The Republicans are running on the lie that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election and Washed Up 45 (name above) was robbed of a second term.
The walkout handed Republicans a rare defeat in the Texas Capitol where they control every lever of power and wield overwhelming majorities in both the House and Senate.
State Rep. Chris Turner, the Democratic House leader, said he sent a text message to members of his caucus at 10:35 p.m. telling them to leave the chamber.
"We killed that bill," Turner said.
Republicans showed restraint in criticizing Democrats for the move.
"I am disappointed that some members decided to break quorum," said Republican state Rep. Karen Cain, who carried the bill in the House. "We all know what that meant. I understand why they were dong it, but we all took an oath to Texans that we would be here to do our jobs."
"We've said for so many years that we want more people to participate in our democracy. And it just seems that's not the case," Democratic state Rep. Carl Sherman said.
The move was reminiscent of 2003, when outnumbered Democrats twice broke quorum to stop Republican efforts to redraw voting maps. House Democrats first left the state en masse for Ardmore, Oklahoma only to return several days later. Senate Democrats delayed a special session that summer by going as a group to Albuquerque, New Mexico for several weeks.
Ultimately, neither effort worked as the Democrats eventually returned to the Capitol and Republicans passed the bill.
Under revisions during closed-door negotiations, Republicans added language that could make it easier for a judge to overturn an election and pushed back the start of Sunday voting, when many Black churchgoers head to the polls. The 67-page measure would also eliminate drive-thru voting and 24-hour polling centers, both of which Harris County introduced last year. It's the state's largest Democratic stronghold and includes Houston, its largest city.
Texas is the last big battleground in the GOP's nationwide efforts to tighten voting laws, driven by Washed Up 45's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Georgia and Florida have also passed new voting restrictions.
President Joe Biden and Democrats have a short window to get things done before Republicans play on selective memory and culture wars. Biden condemned the bill in a statement on Saturday, calling it "part of an assault on democracy that we've seen far too often this year—and often disproportionately targeting Black and Brown Americans."
"It's wrong and un-American. In the 21st century, we should be making it easier, not harder, for every eligible voter to vote," Biden said.
While in Tulsa, Biden finally addresses criticism aimed at him. He acknowledged that Democrats hold a four seat majority in the House and he didn't address them by name but said two Democrats are slowing his agenda down. This was the first time he finally called out Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) for being a bunch of punk ass Democrats.
Biden on Saturday called election changes in those states "an assault on democracy that we've seen far too often this year," one that is "often disproportionately targeting Black and Brown Americans."

"The Rutherford County Medical Examiner's Office can now confidently verify that there are seven individuals, four males and three females," the statement said.
Rutherford County had said in a statement Sunday night that "Crews have pulled several components of the aircraft from the waters, along with human remains." The county medical examiner's office is working to identify the remains, the county said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane was registered to JL & GL Productions LP in Bradwell. The production company was owned by Gwen.

The insurrection will be a part of American history.
So we survived the first five months of the year. The next seven months will be interesting.
How are you doing?
I know I'm doing fine. I am still alive and still posting on Journal de La Reyna. It's been a pleasure to post on behalf of La Reyna, Councilman George Cook, Julian Abagond and Vern's Views.
We have to thank you for reading the blog and sharing your feedback. If you're new to this, I often post on the blog and address issues facing people of color, the community that I live in, the government that I want to hold accountable and the media that often creates controversy.
So we're entering going into Summer 2021. Today is Memorial Day. Take a moment to honor the fallen men and women of our military. It's the unofficial start of Summer. I know the far-right and their phony outrage machine is cranked up to 100 because Vice President Kamala Harris wished Americans a "happy weekend."
President Joe Biden and Harris went to Arlington Cemetery to honor the fallen. They laid wreaths at the graves of his eldest son Beau Biden, John McCain and George H.W. Bush.
The Midway Wrap-Up discusses the first give months of the year. I started this in 2020 when we were dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cicely Tyson passed away
I will now continue to do these Midway Wrap-Ups to cover the first half of the year. I will discuss what happened before June 1. We will talk about the most trending issues I've seen on our blog.
We had seen the final days of former president Donald J. Trump. In his final weeks, he instigated a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol. The former president told his supporters to "fight like hell" to defend him.
I refer to him as "Washed Up 45" because he's slowly being phased out by many Americans. His four years in office were divisive. He is probably the only president in 21st Century to be unpopular going in and leaving out.
Trump is one term, twice impeached president. He is banned on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram. He is now a recluse in his Mar-a-lago resort. He vows a massive comeback in 2024.
Larry King died this year
However, if the state of New York criminally indicts him, it may put a damper on his political return.
So thousands of supporters marched to U.S. Capitol as they were performing the electoral college.
They clearly broke down windows and doors to enter the chambers of the Senate. They broke into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) and stole her podium, laptop and defecated on her desk.
Over 500 Americans were arrested. Some of them were given passed. One in particular Jenny Cudd of Odesa, Texas was granted a trip to Mexico after she was caught on camera going into Pelosi's office.
Some were threatening to kill then vice president Mike Pence.
DMX passed away.
A woman named Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by U.S. Capitol Police after she entered a restricted area where top leaders were held. The top leaders had to take shelter as the mob came into the Capitol.
Brian Sicknick and two other U.S. Capitol police officers died. Four of Trump's supporters also died with Babbitt.
The House of Representatives had impeached Trump earlier for trying to push Ukraine to get dirt on Biden. The second time was directed at him for inciting an insurrection. Trump managed to escape conviction due to 43 Republicans refusing to admit that he was solely responsible for the insurrection.
The insurrection happened on the day that Jon Ossoff, a progressive activist and filmmaker and Raphael Warnock, the current pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church became senators from Georgia. They beaten Republican senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in a runoff election.
Trump's constant digs at Georgia's Republican delegation and the secretary of state handling the election results hurt the Republicans. Now along with Mark Kelly, the former astronaut and husband of gun shooting victim and former lawmaker Gaby Giffords, the Senate is evenly split.
Kamala Devi Harris became the first woman of color to be the Vice President of the United States. She was finally greeted by Pence.
She is African American and Asian American. She became Biden's running mate in July 2020 and was instrumental in helping Biden win the election. Biden came from a slew of attacks from the far-right and far-left. He was sworn in in a non-traditional inauguration. Instead of having big crowds, Biden had scaled back.
Trump refused to appear at Biden's inaugural. He immediately left the White House and flew down to Florida. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Mike Pence and members of Congress listened to a young poet Amanda Gorman. She became a part of American history as she read her poem of strength, preservation and accomplishments.
The dirty cop who killed George Floyd head to the iron college.

The two girls ended up care more about their damn phones than the man who they killed. They got into his car and peeled off with him clinging to the car. They ended up crashing and land it on its top. The poor man was thrown feet into a wall and lied motionless while the two girls tried to flee.

Justin Timberlake admits that he had a part in messing up Janet Jackson and Britney Spears lives.
Samuel Little, the Cleveland strangler died in prison. He was convicted of murdering dozens of women in Cleveland. Some of the victims were either runaways, prostitutes or women who rejected his advances. The incident has been a topic of our blog for years. We still mourn the loss of these women.
Cops escaped criminal charges in the shootings of Jacob Blake and Andrew Brown, Jr.
Cops escape criminal charges in the shoving of Martin Gugino and death of Daniel Prude.
The police have been involved in many high profile killings of people of color. Some have been criminally charged. Some were convicted. One in particular is Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police officer who placed his knee on the neck of George Floyd in 2020. Days later, a cop from a nearby suburb kills Daunte Wright, Sr. The 22-year old man was shot by a white female cop who mistaken her gun for a Taser. She is being criminally charged.
Major deaths happened in the first five months. Some were celebrities. Some were infamous criminals. Some were politicians. Some were people in the news. We lost DMX, Christopher Plummer, Marion Ramsey, Tommy Lasorda, Larry King, Sheldon Adelson, Siegfried Fischbacher, Dustin Diamond, Phil Spector, Hank Aaron, 6 Dogs, Cloris Leachman, Cicely Tyson, Double K, Thomas Moore, Prince Philip, Mary Wilson, Larry Flynt, Rush Limbaugh, Prince Markie Dee, Vernon Jordan, Chucky Trill, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Yaphet Kotto, Kent Taylor, Elgin Baylor, George Segal, Jessica Walter, Ron Wright, Alcee Hastings, Midwin Charles, Black Rob, Bernie Madoff, Hester Ford, Walter Mondale, Terrence Clark, Shock G, Damon Weaver, Charles Grodin, Eric Carle, John Davis, Gavin MacLeod, Joe Lara, Gwen Shamblin Lara and so many others died this year.
The careers of Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, Lou Dobbs, Brooke Baldwin, Kanye West, Chris Cuomo and Mike Lindell went up in smoke. Their actions have gravely dented their careers.
Congress has their share of extremists in representation. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Louie Gohmert, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorne, Julia Letlow, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Pramila Jayapal, Kevin McCarthy, Elise Stefanik, Steve Scalise, Mitch McConnell, Ron Johnson, Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, Kyrsten Sinema, Josh Hawley, Mike Lee, Joe Manchin, Rand Paul, Bernie Sanders, and Tommy Tuberville are the pain in the ass lawmakers who continue to drag Congress down into historical lows. These idiots in lawmaking are out extreming one another.
Biden has enough headaches without these fools. He wants to pass police reform, voting rights reform, infrastructure and a formal removal from Afghanistan. Republicans continue to gridlock Congress.
They refuse to create a bipartisan commission on the January 6, 2021 attacks.
Biden is considering going at it alone. The quest to repeal the filibuster is growing strong within the Democratic Party. Sinema and Manchin are the only two Democrats who are not willing to back repealing the filibuster. Angus King, Dianne Feinstein, Jon Tester, Dick Durbin, Jeanne Shaheen and Bob Casey are also on the fence with the filibuster.
Biden managed to take control of the pandemic and we're closing an ugly chapter in world history.
The coronavirus pandemic has killed over 600,000 Americans. The pandemic went off to a slow start when Trump failed to take action when it first made contact in the United States. He kept calling it the China Virus and Kung Flu. It led to a spike in attacks on Asian Americans and immigrants.
Biden signed off a legislation to prevent Asian Americans from being discriminated.
Biden also hired Rachel Levine as a member of his cabinet. She is the first transwoman to be in the White House. He hired Pete Buttigieg, the first openly gay member to be in the White House.
He appointed Jaime Harrison to led the Democrats into 2022 and 2024.
Biden has been very careful about how to address issues and takes time to think before reacting.
Israel, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, China, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Brazil and Myanmar are causing headaches for Biden. Each of these countries have controversy brewing between their leaders and the United States.
I'm getting winded here. I am going to just say that in the next months, we will see more death, more successes and more controversy. I am certain I'll be around for some of these times.
