A Louisiana girl becomes the first African American to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Scripps’ motivation for sharing those hobbies and passions is clear: It sends the message that the spellers are normal kids, not robotic middle-schoolers with a monomaniacal devotion to memorizing the dictionary.

But even among the more well-rounded spellers who will compete Thursday in the ESPN-televised national finals, Zaila Avant-garde stands out.

The 93rd Scripps National Spelling Bee was held this week after last year's was cancelled due to the coronavirus. 

Zalia Avant-garde becomes the first African American to win the spelling bee. The New Orleans native was crowned after she correctly spelled murraya, a type of tree and she spelled with association to famous comedian Bill Murray.

She joins 1998 spelling bee champion Jody-Anne Maxwell, the first Black winner. She is from Jamaica.

She is ambitious besides being a spelling bee champion. She is looking forward to playing basketball and attending Harvard. She believes she could work with NASA someday. She already made the news earlier this year with her Guinness World Record title for the most bounce juggles in one minute.

The teen will end up taking home $50,000 and will be getting endorsement deals in the future.

The teen has picked up nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram since her win. 

Competitive spelling came relatively late in life, starting at age 12.

“Basketball, I’m not just playing it. I’m really trying to go somewhere with it. Basketball is what I do,” Zaila said. “Spelling is really a side thing I do. It’s like a little hors d’ouevre. But basketball’s like the main dish.”

Don’t be mistaken: Zaila brings the same competitive fire to spelling that she shows on court. She won last year’s Kaplan-Hexco Online Spelling Bee — one of several bees that emerged during the pandemic after Scripps canceled last year — and used the $10,000 first prize to pay for study materials and $130-an-hour sessions with a private tutor, 2015 Scripps runner-up Cole Shafer-Ray.

The time commitment required to master roots, language patterns and definitions is what keeps many top spellers from seriously pursuing sports or other activities. But Zaila, who is home-schooled, claims to have it figured out.

“For spelling, I usually try to do about 13,000 words (per day), and that usually takes about seven hours or so,” she said. “We don’t let it go way too overboard, of course. I’ve got school and basketball to do.”

Seven hours a day isn’t going overboard?

She got more work to do.

“I have my suspicions. I don’t know. I have some suspicions that maybe it’s a bit less than what some spellers do,” she said.

Whether all that preparation leads to a trophy and $50,000 in cash and prizes will be determined Thursday night when Zaila faces 10 other spellers for the only in-person portion of this year’s pandemic-altered bee. Normally staged at a convention center outside Washington, the bee was moved to an ESPN campus in Florida, with attendance strictly limited and masking and distancing protocols in place.

“This is an entirely different experience. The structure of the bee is different, the location is different, so I’m really excited to see what this bee has in store,” said 14-year-old Ashrita Gandhari of Ashburn, Virginia, competing for the fourth time.

Zaila — whose father changed her last name to Avant-garde in honor of jazz musician John Coltrane — would chart a new career path for spellers if her hoop dreams come true. She could also make spelling history of a different sort, by becoming the first Black American champion. The only previous Black winner of the bee was also the only international winner: Jody-Anne Maxwell of Jamaica in 1998.

Zaila said she hopes to inspire other African-Americans who might not understand the appeal of spelling or can’t afford to pursue it.

“Maybe they don’t have the money to pay $600 for a spelling program, they don’t have access to that,” Zaila said. “With tutors and stuff, they charge, like, murder rates.”

The bee has been rightly celebrated as a showcase for students of color — a speller of South Asian descent has been the champion or co-champion of every bee since 2008 — but Zaila is not the first speller to point out issues with economic diversity.

Indian-Americans are the wealthiest U.S. ethnic group, according to Census data, and Indian professionals who immigrate to the U.S. have access to a network of bees and other academic competitions targeting their community.

J. Michael Durnil, the bee’s new executive director, said he hopes to make more resources available to spellers who can’t access elite-level training.

“It’s really important to me that a student anywhere in the country or a parent or a sponsor watches the bee on (Thursday) and says, ‘I see myself there, I want to be there and there is a clear pathway to try to get there,’” Durnil said.

Another helping of far-right extremism courtesy of the American Conservative Union. The second helping of the Conservative Political Action Conference is being held in Dallas, Texas.

A bunch of Karens are speaking on how to retake the Congress and White House. They will also push conspiracy theories, anti-vaccination, racism and pseudo-history. Another reason to not take our foot off the pedal.

We need to squash Trumpism and the bullshit artists that associate around it.

It started on Friday and I wasn't interested in posting the bullshit. I was literally bored with Blogger due to the changes done to it. 

I just realize that there's more to life than a blog. However, I couldn't help but notice that a lot of these idiots at CPAC are dog whistling and promoting bullshit to an audience of potential insurrectionists.

It's like they've already written off the insurrection. It was only six months ago when supporters of Washed Up 45 marched over to the U.S. Capitol and interrupted the Electoral College. They would later break into the Capitol, destroy property and threaten lawmakers and police officers.

Your ticket to extremists and bullshit artists are here at CPAC Dallas.

A U.S. Secret Service Agent killed one of these white extremists and the far-right wants him to be charged with murder. 

Three other people were killed in the riots. 

Brian Sicknick, a U.S. Capitol Police officer and supporter of Washed Up 45 died because of the mob.

There are over 500 individuals arrested and thousands of others under the feds radar. Many of these folks are unrepentant. They believe they were unfairly targeted by the government. Of course, they also claim that they didn't mean to steal from Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) or threaten the former vice president.

Republicans refuse to support a bipartisan commission on the incident. So the House decided to go forth with is panel on the matter. They have Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY) on board with the panel.

Rep. Karen McCarthy (R-CA) is furious that Cheney went ahead with Democrats. He threatening Republicans will committee removal if they support the House investigation.

And of course, Washed Up 45 is upset over it. He may get called into question if Congress subpoena him to testify. 

CPAC is supposed to be the gathering of prominent lawmakers and influencers to talk about how to win the message.

So far, they're only doing what we've expected: Cry more!

We only got a limited amount of time to get things done. Republicans are energized to retake the House and Senate. We have a small window to get things done.

Former athlete and reality star running for California governor appears at CPAC. The transwoman who was part of the Kardashian reality circus is running in a recall election to replace Gavin Newson.

Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) are not willing to support ending the filibuster and backing President Joe Biden's agenda. He also facing the Squad's temper tantrums as well.

Biden is hoping to get legislation done now! He is willing to work with Republicans even though many of them are not willing to work with him.

CPAC is an example of this. Those lawmakers attending have left their constituents in their time of need. Some left as there's wildfires, hurricane damage, a condominium collapse, an energy grid collapsing in three states and a deadly strain of coronavirus spreading across the United States.  

Washed Up 45 is expected to make noise on Sunday. We'll cover it. I really don't want to, but alas, we do have a readership here.

The little lawmaker often shows off her unique firearm stance whenever she wants to prove she tough. A video that circulated on social media shows the white nationalist doing what most of us predicted, being a motherfucking Karen.

Rep. "Karen" Boebert (R-CO) is once again appearing at Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas. She along with a bunch of do-nothings will speak and of course, Washed Up 45 will make a grievance appearance. He will continue to whine about his election loss. He will call for Republicans to oppose President Joe Biden and recapture the House and Senate.

Pouty face Boebert upset that activists confronted her.

Boebert who seems to be appearing at every one of these rallies is abandoning her constituents in Grand Junction, Colorado. Her hometown is the little hamlet of Rifle. She and her husband own this little hole in the wall called Shooters. The restaurant is a gun-themed restaurant. She caters to white extremists and gun nuts. 

Some of the servers are wearing firearms on their hips. They're the Gun Gurls, a gun-themed Hooters.

Two activists decided to troll the lawmaker and film her talking to constituents. It apparently got her riled up and she decided to come over to confront them.

So apparently she was frustrated with the activists trying to mock her she literally left her restaurant to confront them. She would start filming them and they would start filming her. 

So they get into a shouting match about why he was filming a construction crew. 

She believes they were up to no good.

I mean she wasn't even wearing her firearm on her hip. This is a common theme for her whenever she's posting on social media around her restuarant.

The lawmaker just look like some "concerned" white bitch upset over folks minding their business.

This activist also managed to dig into the crates and found every mugshot of this white nationalist.

Again, you can be a criminal and still run for Congress.

Boebert like Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC), Rep. Karen Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Marjorie Karen Greene (R-GA), Rep. Karen Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Karen Roy (R-TX), Rep. Karen Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Karen Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Karen Stefanik (R-NY) and Rep. Karen Cammack (R-FL) have no legislative accomplishments and are considered the least productive members of the Congress.

The Democrats also have their members that are not productive. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) have no legislative accomplishments too.

Don't you get tired of lawmakers who spent most of their time on social media and television?

Don't you get tired of folks like Boebert, Greene, Cammack, Bush, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Tlaib always being in the news for some dumb controversy?

Do you believe these lawmakers have more U.S. Capitol Police protection?

Why are some of these lawmakers voting against funding the U.S. Capitol Police?

And now its official, this goofy ass fool is trying to taking the current goofy ass fool. 

Former Florida lawmaker and former Texas Republican chairman is now decided to challenge the current governor. 

The announcement was made during at appearance by Karen West at Sojourn Church in Carrollton, where the former Florida congressman played a video launching his campaign.

“I’ve not been in elected political office for about a decade, but I can no longer sit on the sidelines and see what has happened in these United States of America and ... the place that I call home," West said in the video, which was preceded by West reading aloud the Declaration of Independence to the churchgoers gathering on July Fourth.

West's campaign launch comes about a month after he announced his resignation as state party chairman. The resignation is effective July 11, when the State Republican Executive Committee is set to meet to pick West's successor as chair.

West quickly hinted that he was considering a run for statewide office after he announced his resignation, though speculation had run rampant for months that he was eying a bigger job. As state party chairman, he did not shy away from conflict with state leaders, most notably Karen Abbott.

Since his election as Texas GOP chair in July of last year when he soundly beat then-incumbent James Dickey, West has criticized Abbott's coronavirus response and sought to push the governor's legislative agenda further to the right. Last fall, he spoke at a protest outside the governor's mansion demanding that Abbott fully reopen the state amid the pandemic.

Abbott has mostly ignored West's attacks. But the governor has increasingly catered to his right flank in recent months as he has appeared to try to tamp down potential vulnerabilities ahead of his reelection campaign.

West did not directly mention Abbott in his remarks Sunday in the church or in the video. West used the video to sketch out a platform focused on shielding the state's energy resources against the Green New Deal — the sweeping climate change proposal pushed by some Democrats in Washington, D.C. — securing the state's border "to ensure that Texas is for Texans" and combatting sex trafficking.
Abbott and Washed Up 45 at the U.S.-Mexican border.

Abbott's campaign did not immediately respond to request for a comment on West's announcement.

Abbott received his first credible primary challenger in May, when former state Sen. Don Huffines of Dallas launched a bid against Abbott. Huffines issued a statement welcoming West to the race, saying he looked forward to West "joining our efforts to make clear that Texans can do better than Greg Abbott."

Conservative commentator Chad Prather has also announced a primary challenge to Abbott and similarly cheered on West's candidacy.

Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller weighed running against Abbott as well but announced last month he would instead seek reelection to his current job.

Facing the intraparty angst, Abbott also has embraced Washed Up 45 more than ever. In June, he secured the former president's endorsement for reelection, announced Texas would build its own border wall to finish the job started under Washed Up 45 and invited him to the state for a border tour.

West is also a vocal ally of Washed Up 45, though he has brushed off the impact of the former president's endorsement on his future political plans.

"You know, I don't serve President Trump," West said in June. "I serve God, country and Texas. So that does not affect me whatsoever."

West represented Florida in Congress from 2011-2013. He moved to Texas in 2014 to become the CEO of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a Dallas think tank that shuttered three years later.

The SREC is scheduled to meet July 11 in Lewisville to elect someone to finish West's term as state GOP chair. Candidates include David Covey, president of the Texas Republican County Chairmen's Association; Matt Rinaldi, a former state representative from Irving; and Chad Wilbanks, a former executive director of the state party.

The extremists of the left and right are demanding the freedom of a man who lead a hacking coalition leak classified information damaging to the United States. The same folks on the far-right who demonized Barack Obama when the leaks came forth are now praising him when he leaked damaging information about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections.

A man who allowed Chelsea Manning (formerly Bradley) take the bullet for him. Manning was drummed out of the military. She spent seven years in federal military time out. Obama commuted the sentence. Manning continues to violate the terms of the commute.

 A man who helped Edward Snowden seek asylum in the Russian Federation. Snowden is a top-priority target for U.S. intelligence. 

If he is to be extradited to the United States, the Australian hacker will face a federal sandwich for leaking classified information in 2010. He is also facing pressure to finger the Russian Federation and allies of Washed Up 45 for leaking emails from the Democratic National Committee. 

He is also being criminally charged with sexual assault of two women. He is also being billed for damaging the Ecuadorian embassy after he damaged property.

Britain’s High Court has granted the U.S. government permission to appeal a decision that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cannot be sent to the United States to face espionage charges.

The judicial office said Wednesday that the appeal had been granted and the case would be listed for a High Court hearing. No date has been set.

In January, a lower court judge refused an American request to send Assange to the U.S. to face spying charges over WikiLeaks’ publication of secret military documents a decade ago. District Judge Vanessa Baraitser denied extradition on health grounds, saying Assange was likely to kill himself if held under harsh U.S. prison conditions.

The judge ordered that Assange must remain in prison during any potential U.S. appeal, ruling that the Australian citizen “has an incentive to abscond” if he were freed.

Assange, 50, has been in London’ high-security Belmarsh Prison since he was arrested in April 2019 for skipping bail seven years earlier during a separate legal battle.

Assange spent seven years holed up inside Ecuador’s London embassy, where he fled in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault. Sweden dropped the sex crimes investigations in November 2019 because so much time had elapsed.

U.S. prosecutors have indicted Assange on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over WikiLeaks’ publication of thousands of leaked military and diplomatic documents. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison.

The prosecutors say Assange unlawfully helped U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning steal classified diplomatic cables and military files that WikiLeaks later published. Lawyers for Assange argue that he was acting as a journalist and is entitled to First Amendment freedom of speech protections for publishing documents that exposed U.S. military wrongdoing in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Assange’s fiancée, Stella Moris, urged U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday to drop the prosecution launched under his predecessor, Donald Trump.

Moris, who has two young sons with Assange, said outside the High Court that the WikiLeaks founder was “very unwell” in prison.

“He won his case in January. Why is he even in prison?" she said.

“I’m appealing to the Biden administration to do the right thing. This appeal was taken two days before the Trump administration left office, and if the Biden administration is serious about respecting the rule of law, the First Amendment and defending global press freedom, the only thing it can do is drop this case.”

The United States has officially left Afghanistan. The junk food media and the Republican Party are expected to whine about a pledge honored by President Joe Biden. The 46th President of the United States made the decision to officially withdraw American troops from Afghanistan. He is following an early commitment by Washed Up 45. 

The former president was hoping to get troops out by his second term. Of course it did hot come and it went to Biden who made it his mission to "Build Back Better."

The U.S. left Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left, Afghan military officials said.

Afghanistan’s army showed off the sprawling air base Monday, providing a rare first glimpse of what had been the epicenter of America’s war to unseat the Taliban and hunt down the al-Qaida perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks on America.

The U.S. announced Friday it had completely vacated its biggest airfield in the country in advance of a final withdrawal the Pentagon says will be completed by the end of August.

“We (heard) some rumor that the Americans had left Bagram ... and finally by seven o’clock in the morning, we understood that it was confirmed that they had already left Bagram,” Gen. Mir Asadullah Kohistani, Bagram’s new commander said.


U.S. military spokesman Col. Sonny Leggett did not address the specific complaints of many Afghan soldiers who inherited the abandoned airfield, instead referring to a statement last week.

The statement said the handover of the many bases had been in the process soon after President Joe Biden’s mid-April announcement that America was withdrawing the last of its forces. Leggett said in the statement that they had coordinated their departures with Afghanistan’s leaders.

Before the Afghan army could take control of the airfield about an hour’s drive from the Afghan capital Kabul, it was invaded by a small army of looters, who ransacked barrack after barrack and rummaged through giant storage tents before being evicted, according to Afghan military officials.

“At first we thought maybe they were Taliban,” said Abdul Raouf, a soldier of 10 years. He said the the U.S. called from the Kabul airport and said “we are here at the airport in Kabul.”

Kohistani insisted the Afghan National Security and Defense Force could hold on to the heavily fortified base despite a string of Taliban wins on the battlefield. The airfield also includes a prison with about 5,000 prisoners, many of them allegedly Taliban.

The Taliban’s latest surge comes as the last U.S. and NATO forces pull out of the country. As of last week, most NATO soldiers had already quietly left. The last U.S. soldiers are likely to remain until an agreement to protect the Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport, which is expected to be done by Turkey, is completed.
The U.S. left Afghanistan the tools to fight.

Meanwhile, in northern Afghanistan, dtistrict after district has fallen to the Taliban. In just the last two days hundreds of Afghan soldiers fled across the border into Tajikistan rather than fight the insurgents.

“In battle it is sometimes one step forward and some steps back,” said Kohistani.

Kohistani said the Afghan military is changing its strategy to focus on the strategic districts. He insisted they would retake them in the coming days without saying how that would be accomplished.

On display on Monday was a massive facility, the size of a small city, that had been exclusively used by the U.S. and NATO. The sheer size is extraordinary, with roadways weaving through barracks and past hangar-like buildings. There are two runways and over 100 parking spots for fighter jets known as revetments because of the blast walls that protect each aircraft. One of the two runways is 12,000 feet (3,660 meters) long and was built in 2006. There’s a passenger lounge, a 50-bed hospital and giant hangar-size tents filled with supplies such as furniture.

Kohistani said the U.S. left behind 3.5 million items, all itemized by the departing U.S. military. They include tens of thousands of bottles of water, energy drinks and military ready-made meals, known as MRE’s.

“When you say 3.5 million items, it is every small items, like every phone, every door knob, every window in every barracks, every door in every barracks,” he said.

The big ticket items left behind include thousands of civilian vehicles, many of them without keys to start them, and hundreds of armored vehicles. Kohistani said the U.S. also left behind small weapons and the ammunition for them, but the departing troops took heavy weapons with them. Ammunition for weapons not being left behind for the Afghan military was blown up before they left.

Afghan soldiers who wandered Monday throughout the base that had once seen as many as 100,000 U.S. troops were deeply critical of how the U.S. left Bagram, leaving in the night without telling the Afghan soldiers tasked with patrolling the perimeter.

“In one night, they lost all the goodwill of 20 years by leaving the way they did, in the night, without telling the Afghan soldiers who were outside patrolling the area,” said Afghan soldier Naematullah, who asked that only his one name be used.

Within 20 minutes of the U.S.’s silent departure on Friday, the electricity was shut down and the base was plunged into darkness, said Raouf, the soldier of 10 years who has also served in Taliban strongholds of Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

The sudden darkness was like a signal to the looters, he said. They entered from the north, smashing through the first barrier, ransacking buildings, loading anything that was not nailed down into trucks.

On Monday, three days after the U.S. departure, Afghan soldiers were still collecting piles of garbage that included empty water bottles, cans and empty energy drinks left behind by the looters.

Kohistani, meanwhile, said the nearly 20 years of U.S. and NATO involvement in Afghanistan was appreciated but now it was time for Afghans to step up.

“We have to solve our problem. We have to secure our country and once again build our country with our own hands,” he said.
Biden believes Afghanistan will find ways to defeat the Taliban.

America's longest and most costly war will be finally coming to an end. The junk food media is back to the "scary" Muslim terrorist theme. The United States has been in the country of Afghanistan for 20 fucking years. Under George W. Bush, two months after the September 11, 2001 attack, the U.S. military went into this country to capture Osama bin Laden and topple the Taliban, the far right Islamic traditionalist government.

After a few weeks of attacks, they nearly caught bin Laden in Tora Bora. George W. Bush would make his famous Axis of Evil speech and encourage public support for going to war in Iraq. It took the focus off the mission to stop al-Qaeda. The U.S. backed away from the capture. Bin Laden would be escape into Pakistan. For 10 years, the de facto leader of al-Qaeda was holed up in a mansion in Abbottabad. 

Former president Barack Obama ordered a military mission to take out bin Laden.

In 2011, a clandestine team of military officials known as SEAL Team 6 went into Pakistan and infiltrated the mansion and managed to kill Bin Laden and three members of his family. They took his body and buried it at sea. 

Even though Barack Obama wanted to close Guantanamo Bay military prison and bring troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq, he was constantly blocked by Republicans and some Democrats.

Enter Washed Up 45. An egotistical man who bragged about how he alone can get troops out of wars. He like Bush wanted to prove the strength of the American military. He carpet bombed Syria, killed an Iranian military official with the claims of him being a terrorist without proper knowledge. Washed Up 45 claimed that the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was one of the biggest catches in his one term.

He made a deal with the Taliban and said that the U.S. will step aside and leave the battle to the Afghanistan military. Biden followed through.

If the U.S. media agitators and the Republicans are complaining about the aftermath, let their families serve in the most costly and deadliest war in history. 

It's been 20 years. 

Time for the U.S. to end the wars. Thank the men and women who sacrificed their lives to make our country a little bit safer. Thank those who did their jobs without prejudice. 

Thank you President Joe Biden for keeping your promise.

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!

YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

EXPECT MORE!

You notice I say endorse and back at the same time!

Cuyahoga County councilwoman Shontel Brown is getting a huge endorsement. The Congressional Black Caucus has put their full support towards her. It comes as Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) goes all in for Brown's opponent.

The opponent is well known among Democrats and leftists. She had compared voting for Joe Biden as to a "half a bowl of shit." This former Ohio state senator who moved to Maryland in 2017 to join the Our Revolution, an offshoot of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) failed presidential bids.

This opponent is an agitator who has a vicious troll army attacking Brown. They accuse her of being a corporate Democrat, a moderate and not authentically Black enough.

Then of course the whisper campaigns from the leftists and far-right. 

Every headline fails to mention Brown's name. 

Every endorsement she's gotten resulted in a bum rush of trolls who complain about the "establishment" and "big pharma" trying to stop this opponent's momentum.

Brown so far has ignored the noise. 

She is thinking like Terry McAuliffe, Eric Adams and President Joe Biden. She is letting her opponent expose herself. Turner and white leftists are attacking her. Black voters are not fickle towards the remarks of white extremists. 

This special election to replace Marcia Fudge has gotten national attention. It's a war between the far-left and the Biden left. The Biden left is progressives and moderates versus the extreme left which dupolies as the extreme right.

The noise wants to win. We can't allow it to happen.

Also that pesky president of the Russian Federation also has a finger in this too. Obviously, a special election, a highly polarizing figure and chance for Ohio to keep Republicans in power for another decade. 

Yeah, they found their stooge.

That opponent is Nina Turner. 

She is a controversial leftist agitator and former Ohio state senator who is touting a massive fundraising edge, a Tulchin internal poll showing she is way ahead of the competition and of course, she's got more coverage in the junk food media.

The fundraising arm of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has endorsed Cuyahoga County Council Representative Shontel Brown as she prepares to face Turner in a special Democratic primary for Ohio’s 11th Congressional District next month. 

In a statement announcing the group’s endorsement on Wednesday, Yolanda Addison, executive director of the CBC Political Action Committee, said the body is “proud” to back Brown and touted the Ohio Democrat's track record “fighting for Ohioans.”

Sounds about white. Nina Turner's campaign van.

“Shontel Brown worked alongside community leaders to install public wifi hotspots in the Greater Cleveland area in order to improve access to broadband, helping to close the digital divide,” Addison said.

“We know that she will work tirelessly to also ensure that all Americans have equality affordable health care, living wage jobs and a justice system that works for everyone,” she added.

The group also branded Brown as a “progressive champion” in the endorsement who “is no stranger to adversity” and would “head to DC to bring back results, not just sound bites, for Ohio’s 11th.”

Early voting has begun and it's expected to be a low turnout if we don't get our asses out to vote.

VOTE FOR SHONTEL BROWN!

REJECT THE NOISE!
