Prince Charles: I Got The Coronavirus!

Prince Charles caught the coronavirus again.

The future King of Great Britain has tested positive for the coronavirus. 

Prince Charles confirms that he got the coronavirus for a second time.

It prompt the immediate watch of Queen Elizabeth II.

This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating.

HRH is deeply disappointed not to be able to attend today's events in Winchester and will look to reschedule his visit as soon as possible.

— The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall (@ClarenceHouse) February 10, 2022

The heir to the British throne, who is 73 years old, had to cancel his attendance at an event in the English city of Winchester on Thursday, according to a statement from his official Twitter account.

Duchess Camilla of Cornwall has not tested positive for the coronavirus.

Charles met with the Queen "recently," a royal source told CNN after the news emerged. The source did not elaborate on how recently the meeting took place.

Her Majesty is not displaying symptoms and the situation will continue to be monitored, the source said.

In a statement issued at midday local time, Clarence House tweeted: "This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating.

"HRH is deeply disappointed not to be able to attend today's events in Winchester and will look to reschedule his visit as soon as possible," the statement added. He had been due to unveil a statue of a Jewish business woman from medieval times.

This is the second time the prince has tested positive. Charles first tested positive in late March 2020, as countries around the world were first feeling the effects of the pandemic. Back in 2020 Prince William also tested positive, soon after his father.

Charles, who is fully vaccinated, said at the time he was first infected that he had been lucky to only experience mild symptoms, adding he'd "got away with it quite lightly."

The Queen marked her platinum jubilee on Sunday by expressing her "sincere wish" that her daughter-in-law, the Duchess of Cornwall, should become Queen Consort once Charles is king.

Charles' positive test comes just hours after he spent the evening meeting dozens of people at the British Museum celebrating the work of the British Asian Trust, of which he is the founding patron.

Prince Charles catching the coronavirus prompts watch on Queen Elizabeth.

The trust reported that during his address at the event, the prince -- who was accompanied by his wife, Camilla -- said: "I cannot quite believe it is almost two years to the day that my wife and myself were able to be with all of you to celebrate the work of the British Asian Trust. Since then, across the globe, there has been terrible loss of life from COVID-19 and we have especially seen the devastating impact throughout South Asia. In these most challenging times, the British Asian Trust has run four significant fundraising appeals which have so far raised almost £20m ($27 million)."

Also in attendance at the event were the UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Home Secretary Priti Patel.

PA reported that the duchess continued with her engagements Thursday, visiting Paddington Haven, a sexual assault referral center in west London.

Back in December Charles and Camilla released a statement commemorating the one-year anniversary of the administration of the world's first Covid-19 vaccine, urging more people to take up the shot.

"It is the most enormous tribute to the remarkable ingenuity and determination of everyone involved that, one year after the first Covid-19 vaccination, more than a hundred million doses have now been delivered," the statement said.

The world's first Covid-19 vaccine dose was administered to 90-year-old Margaret Keenan in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2020, nine months after the World Health Organization declared the global pandemic.

Prince Charles is the third royal this week to test positive for Covid-19. Spain's King Felipe VI tested positive Wednesday morning, after he began to show mild symptoms the previous night, Spain's Royal Household said in a statement. Queen Margrethe II of Denmark also tested positive a day earlier.

Over 175,000 British citizens died from the coronavirus. Here in the United States, we have over 925,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus.

Those who are unvaccinated are either experiencing mild to severe symptoms. They are overwhelming the hospitals. 

If only Americans got vaccinated, we would have been back to normal. Alas, they wanna fuck around and now they're going to find out. Matter of fact, we all are going to find out. 

Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus. At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.

President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.

But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war. 

With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.

The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.

Pathetic.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19. 

If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.

Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!

Fox Entertainment Buys Gumby, Pokey, Prickle And Goo!

Fox takes Gumby to the fold.

Art Clokey's iconic clay boy Gumby is being bought by Fox Entertainment. 

Fox Entertainment is a division of News Corp is acquiring Gumby from the estate of Art Clokey. His son Joseph Clokey has announced that all intellectual properties including "film, TV and streaming, consumer products, licensing, publishing and all other categories" will be allocated to Fox Entertainment. It will start streaming episodes of Gumby on Tubi.

While I am not fond of the Fox Network purchasing an iconic figure like Gumby, it is going to hopefully bring him back to greatness.

Eddie Murphy portrayed Gumby on Saturday Night Live. In his role as Gumby, the sweet lovable clay boy would turn into a irascible, cigar-chomping celebrity who was highly demanding of the production executives. 

"I'm Gumby dammit!" 

Gumby, Pokey, Prickle and Goo are getting revamped by Fox.

It helped revive Gumby in the 1980s and Clokey found Murphy's performance funny.

Gumby, his best friend, an orange pony named Pokey along with a yellow dinosaur Prickle and a morphing blue mermaid named Goo were a part of my childhood. They traveled through environments and times in history.

Gumby's nemeses are G and J, the red Blockheads. They often cause trouble for the hero and his friends.

You can watch some of Gumby's Adventures on YouTube.

Big Snoop Snatches Back His Death Row Chain!

Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem will be performing with headliner Dr. Dre at the Pepsi Halftime Show. The Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals will face off on Sunday.

It was announced Wednesday that the rapper had acquired the label.

It's a sentimental move considering Death Row Records launched his career in the 90s with his debut album "Doggystyle."

The label that paid him is the label that he be running. The iconic label that brought gangsta funk into the spotlight. 

Death Row was the hip-hop powerhouse of the 1990s.

The label that brought you Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, Tha Dogg Pound, Lady of Rage and Snoop Doggy Dogg is now the ownership of the Big Snoop Dogg.

"I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value," the rapper said in a statement.

"It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me."

Death Row Records was founded by Dr. Dre, Marion "Big Suge" Knight, the D.O.C. and Dick Griffey.

Big Snoop signed on as A&R and content manager at Def Jam.

Benzino: No Neck And No Way Out!

Washed up entertainer continues his worthless feud with Eminem.

So now in a coke fueled rage, the washed up entertainer threatened to release the "Racist Rap Hour," the alleged demo tape Em recorded when he was a teenager. He wants to finally "cancel" Eminem.

Looking forward to a lawsuit and a potential response from Em, old man Raymond Scott.

Scott formerly known as Benzino threatened to release damaging information and even threatened to fight the Rap God. He went on Clubhouse, some podcast and chatroom for rappers and entertainers to rant about issues in the world.

It's been like over 20 years and this salty washed entertainer wants to take down the world's most popular rapper.

On the latest Clubhouse, Scott was complaining about how the "internet" didn't take him seriously during the peak of his feud with Em. He said that now that the internet is starting to tank celebrities, he thought it would be a great idea to release the "racist tapes" before the Super Bowl.

He pleaded with Wack 100 to obtain the tapes and play them.

Scott mad that Eminem will be seen by millions. 

Last month, they were debating with former Shady artist Stat Quo over why Em is one of the greatest of all time. They call that the GOAT.

“Listen, let me tell you something. I love Biggie, I love JAY-Z,” said Stat Quo at one time. “I’m from Atlanta and I love Andre 3000 but you gotta understand this is a white boy coming into a lack dominant culture and he got the respect from us. We respect him lyrically and right now if he puts out an album he gonna sell the same amount of records as all your favourite artists that’s popping right now! Everytime he drops that shit sells millions. When debating ‘greatest,' I understand some of you wanna say 'no' to him but Eminem is one of the goats.”

So why I began blogging. It started from the peak of this feud. 

From what I'm getting to why Scott started this feud with Eminem it's basically a snub, his hatred of white rappers and he couldn't take losing a rap battle. 

Eminem burst into the rap scene in late 1998 with his single "My Name Is" and it immediately generated controversy. Americans were concerned about how violent his lyrics were and how controversial Eminem was at the time. Many in politics believed that Eminem would encourage violence and drug abuse. In the album, The Slim Shady LP released on Aftermath and Interscope Records, Em told stories about his childhood and his struggles to break into the mainstream. He also poked fun at pop culture, white rappers, politicians and praised Dr. Dre for giving him an opportunity to become a mainstream success. 

Scott hated that. He felt that Em got away with everything. When he did his follow-up album, The Marshall Mathers LP, The Source allegedly gave it a two mic rating. It riled Em up and he decided to distance himself from that magazine and former rival XXL which previously called him a "white devil."

When he released The Eminem Show, the rapper called out The Source saying "Five mics in the Source, I ain't holdin' my fucking breathe..." He aimed at The Source, Jermaine Dupri, Canibus and called out critics who believed that he's not welcomed in hip-hop.

Scott tried to interview Em in Puerto Rico for the 8 Mile premiere and got brushed off. That lead to this feud. Scott released his song calling out Eminem. Scott released "I Don't Wanna" in which he said "The only M&M I know is Made Men. By the way he ain't never gone play me. Show this bitch what it really is to be Shady. I don't care how much records you sold. You can't walk through the hood without the Men in Black. You disrespect your moms' bitch, you deserve a smack. It's not a Black and white thing. That shit's in the past. I got some white boys from Boston that'll bust your ass, Nigga."

Eminem ignored the song. The second song, "Pull Your Skirt Up." He mentioned how he wants to crush, kill and destroy Eminem. He said he's from the outskirts from Detroit. He said that he owes his life to him for giving him an "Unsigned Hype" column. He said he will bring "glasses to the living room to see him." He said that he called him the "2003 Vanilla Ice" and he is the "five mic giver."

Eminem laid out two devastating disses against Scott and The Source. He called out the washed up entertainer for starting a ridiculous feud for clout, blasted him for being nearly 40 years old and saying he will never be a success. He boycotted The Source and made amends with XXL.

He, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent on the cover of XXL sold more than The Source with Ja Rule on the cover. 

XXL Magazine would soon surpass The Source. Def Jam, Interscope, Motown and Universal Republic pulled advertising out of The Source. The magazine would lose revenue and it force stockholders to formally fire him and his longtime partner Dave Mays.

Dave Mays, Jon Schechter, Ed Young and James Bernard founded The Source in 1988. Scott would be a local rapper who part of this group called The Almighty RSO. Mays and Scott began a friendship that led The Source down its ugly path. Mays would slip RSO and Scott's projects into the magazine without the permission of staffers. They had a massive walkout when Mays ran an interview and review of RSO's album.

Scott would soon join the magazine in 1998 and start throwing his input and decisions into the magazine while still trying to promote his own albums and his new group Made Men. 

Eminem exposed the shady practices of The Source. To this day, I am still owed two years of The Source Magazine. The magazine went through a brief bankruptcy after the feud.

Eminem called Mays, a white Harvard College grad in a fitted hat trying to Black and Scott a hunchback standing by a clearance rack with puffy clown hair, trying to push his clearance bin RSO albums.

Scott had numerous run-ins with the law. He went on a racist tirade against a Brookhaven, Georgia cop and threatened Althea Hart, the mother of his youngest child. He is also trying to sabotage his daughter's rap career. Coi LeRay, a rising rapper and singer has called Scott a mental case who wants to ride off her successes. She blames Scott for being a terrible father and only focusing on trying to use her to bring himself back into the limelight.

I changed up the "Nail in the Coffin."

[You need] take it like a man, and shut the fuck up!

And fuck your little ego too

Em don't need your little fuckin' respect

Em's got millions anyways

And you can't stand it, ‘cause he bigger than you

Oh... and by the way... how'd he performed at the Super Bowl?

When you was watchin' him from...

Whatever fuckin' TV you was watchin' him from

In Brookhaven… the mean streets of Brookhaven

Fuckin' sissy! And you got folks scared up in here, motherfucker

Suck our motherfuckin' dicks!

Oh!... And for those that don't know

Don't get it twisted, y'all... Benzino is a no neck washed up rapper!

So in closing, Benzino: NO NECK AND NO WAY OUT!

Over 925,000 Americans are dead from the coronavirus. 

The omicron variant is more contagious, but is considered less serious. Cases of breakthrough infections are increasing. Thanks to those who refuse to get vaccinated, the coronavirus is mutating and its becoming more infectious. Those who got vaccinated are getting mild symptoms.

Those who are unvaccinated are either experiencing mild to severe symptoms. They are overwhelming the hospitals. 

If only Americans got vaccinated, we would have been back to normal. Alas, they wanna fuck around and now they're going to find out. Matter of fact, we all are going to find out.

Betty Davis Passed Away!

Betty Davis was a funk icon.

The Queen of Funk has passed away. Betty Davis, the singer, actress and activist who is best known for her sexually charged lyrics and being the second wife of Miles Davis, a legendary singer and songwriter.

She passed away on Wednesday at the age of 77.

Davis' friend Danielle Maggio confirmed the passing to Rolling Stone.

Davis passed away of natural causes in Pittsburgh. The Allegheny County coroner Arnie Downs confirms the singer had passed away.

She had numerous singles like "Get Ready for Betty," "It's My Life," "If I'm in Luck I Might Get Picked Up" and so many more. She also wrote songs for The Chambers Brothers, "Uptown (to Harlem)."

Her music career spanned between 1964 and 1975.

She became Miles Davis' second wife after his split from Francis. He was 19 years her senior and the two began dating two years earlier when she started her career as a model. They were only married for a year.

The entertainer dropped her self-titled debut album in 1973 for Woodstock promoter MIchael Lang's Just Sunshine Records and two more records. She released "They Say I'm Different" in 1974 and a year later recorded the album "Nasty Girl."

Davis left the music industry and move to Pittsburgh where she lived for decades after album releases.

She said in 2018 to the New York Times, "When I was told that it was over, I just accepted it. And nobody else was knocking at my door." 

She will be remembered for her soul and funk.

The Shade Room Churned Crack Into Gold!

The far right media is pushing fake news about SAMHSA's push to curb drug and substance abuse.

Update: The Shade Room deleted the article and tweet. They will issue an apology. The damage is done and there is no turning back. 

There is some in Black media that are just as shady as the far right media.

The coronavirus pandemic has sparked a rise in drug abuse. 

Over 925,000 Americans are dead from the coronavirus. 

There is 1 in 50 per 10,000 Americans having mental health issues and possible drug abuse. 

Over 50,000 Americans died from drug abuse last year.

The pandemic has driven more folks to using drugs. The Biden Administration is trying to save lives while the far right and many of these heartless fucks are stirring more discourse.

The Shade Room is facing heavy backlash after it pushed fake news about President Joe Biden's agenda. On top of that, it made it into the bloodstream of American politics. Instead of fact checking and getting official confirmation from government agencies, they just run this shit without any care in the world.

The gossip agitator claimed that the Biden Administration was shoveling out $30 million worth of crack pipes.

According to The Shade Room, the grants will be part of a $30 million Biden administration program that includes money for not-for-profit groups to purchase “safe smoking kits/supplies according to a report in the Washington Free Beacon.”

It’s also reported that the pipes would encourage drug users to smoke drugs instead of injecting them because injections are said to run a higher risk.

The biggest mistake was taking a talking point from The Daily Mail and Washington Free Beacon, two far right platforms notorious for pushing fake stories. On top of that, Fox is involved. A network devoted to pushing white nationalist talking points.

The headline reads: "Biden Administration Reportedly Finalizing $30M Program To Provide Drug Paraphernalia To Drug Users To Prevent Infection."

https://t.co/dDVpT1sMIk

The grants will be part of a $30 million Biden Admimistration program.

— TheShadeRoom (@TheShadeRoom) February 8, 2022

They ran on this allegation that the Biden Administration was passing out crack pipes and syringes to keep drug abuse up. 

They shared that shit on social media and the far right quickly picked it up.

PS- Why did the right wingers & Black blogs run with $30 million for crack pipes LIE vs. for PreP, HIV prevention, condoms, Hep A/B vaccines, STD testing? If you're gonna cherry pick ONE item, why pick crack pipes? Because it's provocative & drives clicks. #DisruptingDisinfo pic.twitter.com/8hbWju1jbB

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is charged with improving the quality and availability of treatment and rehabilitative services in order to reduce illness, death, disability, and the cost to society resulting from substance abuse and mental illnesses. The Administrator of SAMHSA reports directly to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. SAMHSA's headquarters building is located outside of Rockville, Maryland.

A comprehensive prevention strategy, harm reduction is part of the continuum of care. Harm reduction approaches have proven to prevent death, injury, disease, overdose, and prevent substance misuse or disorder. Harm reduction is an effective approach to addressing the public health epidemic involving substance use as well as infectious disease and other harms associated with drug use. Specifically, harm reduction services can:

• Connect individuals to overdose education, counseling, and referral to treatment for infectious diseases and substance use disorders.
• Distribute opioid overdose reversal medications (e.g., naloxone) to individuals at risk of overdose, or to those who might respond to an overdose.
• Lessen harms associated with drug use and related behaviors that increase the risk of infectious diseases, including HIV, viral hepatitis, and bacterial and fungal infections.
• Reduce infectious disease transmission among people who use drugs, including those who inject drugs by equipping them with accurate information and facilitating referral to resources.
• Reduce overdose deaths, promote linkages to care, facilitate co-location of services as part of a comprehensive, integrated approach.
• Reduce stigma associated with substance use and co-occurring disorders
• Promote a philosophy of hope and healing by utilizing those with lived experience of recovery in the management of harm reduction services, and connecting those who have expressed interest to treatment, peer support workers and other recovery support services.

SAMHSA is now accepting applications for the first-ever SAMHSA Harm Reduction grant program and expects to issue $30 million in grant awards. This funding, authorized by the American Rescue Plan, will help increase access to a range of community harm reduction services and support harm reduction service providers as they work to help prevent overdose deaths and reduce health risks often associated with drug use. SAMHSA will accept applications from State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments, Tribal organizations, non-profit community-based organizations, and primary and behavioral health organizations.

Drug abuse is a mental health issue.

SAMHSA will distribute $10 million per year over the next three years. Grant recipients must use the funds to support harm reduction services. Harm reduction service providers will be asked to develop or expand evidence-based services that may include, but not be limited to: the provision of sterile syringes, safe sex kits, prevention education about synthetic opioids and other substances, overdose prevention kits including naloxone distribution, peer worker engagement, medical services, case management and referral to treatment. Warm handoffs that facilitate engagement in care and referrals to treatment for individuals seeking these support services are also critical components of this grant program. Harm reduction services will be trauma-informed and guided by harm reduction stakeholder groups and other community members.

The U.S. Health and Human Services slammed The Shade Room, Washington Free Beacon and The Daily Mail for pushing fake news. Here the resident white nationalist Tuckems.

HHS said, “These comments are misleading and misinformed. Too many Americans have lost their lives to drug overdose. Evidence-based community harm reduction services such as naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and syringe services programs help people stay alive and are proven strategies for addressing this tragic epidemic. The Harm Reduction Grant Program offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is designed to put these services within reach for Americans who are struggling with substance use so they can stay healthy and safe, avoid overdose death, and find pathways into evidence-based treatments.”

Start reading books and stop trusting the fucking internet.

Dummy Bag!

Robbery suspect didn't notice the tracer on the bag.

 
A quick thinking Family Dollar clerk outsmarted a robber in Oklahoma City.

Those working for Family Dollar are saying that the theft and robbery makes their jobs very dangerous. 

On top of that, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree and Dollar General are rising prices on products due to supply shortages. Also workers are being overworked and stressed by the constant demands of customers. 

One robber felt the need to exploit the frustrations by workers.

Court documents filed earlier this week reveal an employee at a metro Family Dollar’s perhaps brilliant way of helping police track down an alleged crook.

Just before noon on a January Tuesday afternoon, Kenta Watson, 44, walked into the Family Dollar on SE 15th Street.

The suspect was nabbed quickly.

“He took a glance around the front and, the next thing you know, he just started walking back towards my register area and I was like, ‘What can I get? Can I help you? Can I help you?’ And then I saw the knife and I knew what he wanted,” the employee said to the 911 dispatcher just minutes after the robbery.

He held the employee at knifepoint, stealing nearly $600 and the employee’s cell phone. But what he didn’t know:

“I put the cash tracker in the bag,” the employee told the dispatcher.

Therefore, it wasn’t hard for police to track Watson down. The device showed he was at a house only about 400 feet away.

According to the court documents, police found Watson “sweating profusely” with “several bills of money in both pockets.” He was taken to the Oklahoma County Detention Center and booked for robbery with a dangerous weapon.

The employee said she was still shaken up from the incident and did not want to speak about it.

Watson’s court date is set for Feb. 15.

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

Walter Blackman: I Thought Republicans Were The Party Of Common Sense!

What about your friends?

Black Republican state legislator found himself at the center of a racist attack from the very people he wants to court for his congressional bid for the U.S. House of Representatives.

He blames the attacks on the most dumbest man on the internet. A far right troll who lost his Twitter and Facebook accounts last year after promoting misinformation about the coronavirus, the election and the vaccines.

"A Republican state legislator from Arizona said he and his family members are the victims of a racist smear campaign driven by right-wing media after he pushed back against claims that state lawmakers could 'decertify' the 2020 presidential election," the HuffPost reported. Tuesday. "Walter Blackman, the first Black Republican elected to the Arizona legislature and a 2022 congressional candidate, claims that after an interview in which he poured cold water on the idea that lawmakers could overturn the election, his daughter received a text message calling him a racial slur."

The text used the RINO ("Republican In Name Only") smear that is a favorite of Donald Trump, reading "Your [N-word] dad is RINO."

Troll launched a smear campaign against Black Republican.

The smear came after Blackman told the far-right Gateway Pundit, "just want to tell things that are real. Because I, you know, like to be straight, straight with folks. There’s been a lot of chatter about decertifying the election. There’s a couple things wrong with that, that we can’t do that. We are not going to be able to decertify an election… number two, you look at the Constitution. There is nothing in the Constitution that says that we can decertify."

The Gateway Pundit says the number the text purportedly originated from went to a Blackman voicemail. His campaign says the number was disconnected. Raw Story called the number and was greeted with a generic voice mail recording.

“It is illogical and crazy to think I would send this vile text message to my daughter or know anything about it. I have been in contact with the state police who are investigating the origin of these messages. While their investigation is ongoing, they have determined that the text messages did not in any way, shape or form originate with my cell phone. This is what happens when your opponents can’t run a campaign on the issues, they resort to disgusting smear attacks with a word that has no place in our Republican Party or society in general," Blackman said in a campaign statement.

In 2021, Blackman faced calls to ban him from the state House for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. In September, he praised the Proud Boys.

He also said that George Floyd deserved his death. This type of stuff makes me sick. 

It's bad enough you cater to this nonsense, but it proves that you're nothing to them when you don't know your place.

Sherri Shepherd To Host The Wendy Williams Show!

Sherri Shepherd could be replacing Wendy Williams.

As the controversial agitator's medical issues become a topic of discussion, the executives are looking forward to replacing her with a former host of The View.

Entertainer Sherri Shepherd will be named the permanent host of The Wendy Williams Show. She will begin the transition to phase Wendy Williams out of the picture.

Sherri Shepherd is set to be named the “permanent guest host” of “The Wendy Williams Show” following her health hiatus in September 2021.

Beginning September 2022, former “The View” co-host Shepherd, 54, will take over the series regularly, however, one source tells Page Six that the move will not be forever.

TMZ reports that producers will monitor Williams progress between now and September, which is when they would premiere the show’s 15th season.

If the media maven is healthy enough to host by then, she’ll be welcomed back with open arms. If not, Shepherd will take over and producers will consider a name change for the talk show.

It may be over for the pop culture agitator.

A show rep has told Page Six that they don’t comment on speculation.

Williams has been battling the affects of Graves’ disease and other undisclosed health issues for months, occasionally speaking on her progress with concerned fans.

“Wendy is doing fabulous,” a Versace robe-clad Williams said in December as she exited a Miami wellness center. She then promised fans “much more Wendy stuff,” but has yet to return to her fan-favorite daily.

It was recently announced that the Hollywood Walk-of-Famer will not be returning to the show until at least March, with Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Michael Rapaport, Bevy Smith, Terrence J and Sherri Shepherd all set to return as guest hosts for the month of February through March 4.

The former radio pro’s absence has reportedly been felt within her studio, as many staffers feel the show has taken a dip in quality thanks to “out of touch” higher-ups.

“They’re not factoring in the culture. The all-white management is out of touch with the demographic, which skews mostly African American,” an insider told Page Six.

Still A Mitch!

If it's ain't broke, don't fix it.

The Obstructionist Leader comes out against the Republican National Committee's decision to formally censure Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY) and Rep. Karen Kinzinger (R-IL).

The RNC also distanced itself from former vice president Karen R. Pence. The former vice president condemned Washed Up 45's claims that he could overturn the election.

Pence called the former president, a sorry sack of shit. He felt that Washed Up 45 threw him under the bus. He directly told the former president that he can't legally overturn the results of the election. The former president refused to hear that. He placed his vice president in danger. 

Karen McConnell of Kentucky broke with their language on the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, calling it a “violent insurrection.”

“It was a violent insurrection with the purpose of trying to prevent a peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election. ... That’s what it was,” McConnell said. 

The RNC sparked fierce backlash after it described Jan. 6, when a mob of Washed Up 45’s followers breached the Capitol, as “legitimate political discourse” in a resolution censuring Kinzinger and Cheney. 

RNC Chairwoman Karen Romney McDaniel appeared to try to clarify the resolution, alleging in a statement that the two GOP lawmakers were involved in persecuting citizens "engaged in legitimate political discourse" but "that had nothing to do with violence at the Capitol." The last section was not in the RNC resolution. 

McConnell said he had confidence in McDaniel but that the job of the RNC was supporting all Republicans, not "singling out" members of the party. 

“This issue is whether or not the RNC should be sort of singling out members of our party who may have different views from the majority. That’s not the job of the RNC,” he added about the censure resolution.

Extremism is on the rise in the United States. The white nationalist Republican Party is emboldened with the notion to create turmoil in the wake of Washed Up 45's defeat. Instead of trying to win over American voters, the party of white supremacy will try to conjure up legislation to keep Americans from voting, historical facts from the classroom, transgender Americans from playing sports, making English the official language, and keep power by gerrymandering districts.
