Beloved British media personality and YouTube star Jamal Edwards passed away at the age of 31.
Jamal Edwards, a British music entrepreneur who championed U.K. rap and grime and helped launch the careers of artists including Ed Sheeran, Jessie J and Stormzy, has died. He was 31.
His mother, broadcaster Brenda Edwards, said Monday that her son died the day before after a sudden illness. She said the family was “completely devastated. He was the center of our world.”
Edwards founded the online music channel SBTV as a teenager in 2006. Frustrated that he could not find the music he loved online, he began filming performances by friends in his west London neighborhood. SBTV now has more than 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube and has helped a generation of performers, including rappers like Stormzy, Skepta and Dave, gain national and international attention.
“It was a frustration of going to school and everyone talking about ‘How do we get our videos on MTV,’” Edwards later recalled. “YouTube was like a year old. I was like ‘I’ve got a camera for Christmas, I’m going to start filming people and uploading it.’
“Everyone was looking at me like ‘what are you doing, like you can compete with these major corporations.’ But I think I was early enough to believe that I could make a change.”
Thinking of the family of Jamal Edwards today.

Edwards was given an MBE, an honor from the queen, in 2014 for services to music and was an ambassador for Prince Charles’ charity, the Prince’s Trust.
Prince Charles’ Clarence House office tweeted: “Thinking of the family of Jamal Edwards today. His work in music but also as an ambassador for a new generation, including his work for The Prince’s Trust, were an inspiration to so many.”
Edwards’ sudden death shocked Britain’s entertainment business.
“My first ever interview was with you. Jamal,” singer Rita Ora wrote on Instagram. “Our endless talks on music and the belief you had in me and so many of us before we even believed in ourselves. I’m devastated.”
Actor Adam Deacon said he was “heartbroken.”
“Jamal was one of the nicest, most down to earth and humble men I’ve met in this industry. He always gave me time even when no one else would. He was an inspiration and what he achieved in life was truly remarkable.”
Rapper and producer Example, whose full name is Elliot Gleave, said: “Can’t believe you’re gone. 31 years old. Can’t find the words right now.”
American sitcom Martin was one of the top rated African American shows of modern time. The series starred Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold, Carl Anthony Payne II and Thomas Mikal Ford.
Ford passed away in 2016.
BET is to honor the cast of Martin. The show celebrates its 30th anniversary. The series which premiered on Fox in 1992 was an instant hit.
The show lasted five seasons and had a tad bit of drama during the run.
When Martin Lawrence looks back at his lauded career, the actor-comedian proudly thinks about how his hit ’90s sitcom “Martin” still remains relevant today.
Now, Lawrence wants to celebrate his show’s long-lasting success. He, along with the surviving cast of the beloved comedy series, will reunite for a 30th anniversary special, which will focus on the show's origin and evolution.
The reunion special, which was taped Sunday, is expected to air this summer on BET+.
“We’re sitting here three decades in, baby,” Lawrence yelled out with excitement during an interview with The Associated Press over the weekend beside his co-stars Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold and Carl Anthony Payne II. He called his show’s impact on pop culture a “blessing.”
Martin cast reunited for their 30th anniversary.
The special — hosted by comedian-actor Affion Crockett — will feature interviews with the cast, original directors, special musical performances and behind-the-scenes commentary of the show’s influence.
“Coming to Hollywood and have conquered it in a sense and having (my) own show, I couldn’t ask for much more,” said Lawrence, who starred in a plethora of films including “Bad Boys,” “Big Momma's House” and “Boomerang.”
“Martin,” which premiered on Fox in 1992, starred Lawrence – who played several characters including Martin Payne, Sheneneh Jenkins, Otis, Dragonfly Jones and Jerome. The sitcom also starred Campbell as Martin's girlfriend and eventual wife, Gina; Arnold as Gina’s best friend, Pam; and Martin’s two friends, Payne as Cole and Tommy, who was played by the late Thomas Ford.
Arnold said she'll miss hearing the infectious laugh from Ford, who died in 2016.
“It’s a void. He most definitely missed,” Lawrence said of Ford, who played Martin's level-headed pal. “We love him so much. May he rest in peace.”
The sitcom came to an end in 1997 amid a rift between Lawrence and Campbell. It was a long standing feud that lasted for 15 years. The two had off camera shouting matches and allegations of sexual harassment from Lawrence. When Campbell was absent partially in Season 3 and most of Season 4, it led to concerns behind the scenes. The series producers worked out an agreement that led to her getting paid more and limited camera time. It mostly kept Lawrence and Campbell separated for the remainder of the show's run. She reportedly agreed to return to the show's final season only in separate scenes from him.
Both have since settled their differences and reconciled.
While sitting next to Lawrence, Campbell said she's grateful to film the reunion special. The actor said she's still in awe by the show's popularity after so many years.
“When people still pay homage or revere this show, that does it for me,” Campbell said. “I grew up watching ‘I Love Lucy’ and ‘The Brady Brunch.’ I used to think ’That’ll probably never happen to a Black show,' but it happened.”
Payne echoed Campbell’s sentiments adding that “'Martin' left an influential mark on their generation and others “coming after us.”
“We didn’t know what we had back then,” Arnold said. “But three decades later, here we are. Now we’re seeing the things that we’ve sewn into.”
The three men involved in the murder of Ahmaud Arbrey were found guilty of hate crime and depriving of a man's civil rights charges. They will be eligible for federal time out. The federal sandwich conviction adds more toppings on their LIFE bid.
The suspects names are mentioned. The Associated Press reported that the jury delivered the fate of Travis McMichael, his father Greg McMichael and neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan.
Two of the three white men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery repeatedly used racial slurs in text messages and social media posts, including some violent comments by Arbery’s shooter about Black people, an FBI witness testified Wednesday in their federal hate crimes trial.
FBI intelligence analyst Amy Vaughan led the jury through more than two dozen conversations that Travis McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan had with others, identified only by their initials, in the months and years before the 25-year-old Black man’s killing. The FBI wasn’t able to access the phone of Greg McMichael, Travis McMichael’s father, because it was encrypted, Vaughan said.
In text and Facebook conversations with friends, Travis McMichael frequently used the N-word to describe Black people. In a Facebook conversation with a friend, he also shared a video of a young Black boy dancing on a TV show with a racist song that included the N-word playing over it. He also said that Black people “ruin everything” and said more than once he was glad he wasn’t a Black person, using a racial slur.
The jury also found them guilty of attempted kidnapping, and the McMichaels guilty of the use of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime.
Rest in power.
The verdict was a symbolic one, coming just months after all three defendants were convicted of murder in a Georgia state court and sentenced to life in the iron college — for the McMichaels without the possibility of parole and for Bryant, only after he has served 30 years. But family and community members viewed the hate crimes trial as an important statement that racism motivated the killing.
The jury delivered its verdict one day before the second anniversary of Arbery's death on Feb. 23, 2020.
Shortly after the verdict was read, Arbery's parents emerged from the courthouse holding hands with attorney Ben Crump, then raised their clasped hands to cheers from supporters.
“Ahmaud will continue to rest in peace. But he will now begin to rest in power,” said Arbery's mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones. But, she added, “We as a family will never get victory because Ahmaud is gone forever."
During the trial, prosecutors showed roughly two dozen text messages and social media posts in which Travis McMichael and Bryan used racist slurs and made derogatory comments about Black people. The FBI wasn’t able to access Greg McMichael’s phone because it was encrypted.
The McMichaels grabbed guns and jumped in a pickup truck to pursue Arbery after seeing him running in their neighborhood outside the Georgia port city of Brunswick in February 2020. Bryan joined the pursuit in his own pickup and recorded cellphone video of Travis McMichael fatally shooting Arbery. The killing became part of a larger national reckoning on racial injustice after the graphic video leaked online two months later.
Defense attorneys contended the three didn’t chase and kill Arbery because of his race but acted on the earnest, though erroneous, suspicion that Arbery had committed crimes in their neighborhood.
The McMichaels and Bryan had pleaded not guilty to the hate crime charges.
The panel of eight white people, three Black people and one Hispanic person received the case Monday following a weeklong trial in U.S. District Court in the port city of Brunswick. The jurors adjourned for the night after about three hours of deliberations, and then deliberated for about an hour Tuesday morning.
The federal trial is over.
The trial closed Monday with prosecutors saying the 25-year-old Arbery's slaying on a residential street was motivated by “pent-up racial anger,” revealed by the defendants' electronic messages as well as by witnesses who testified to hearing them make racist tirades and insults.
“All three defendants told you loud and clear, in their own words, how they feel about African Americans,” prosecutor Tara Lyons told the jury Monday.
Defense attorneys insisted that past racist statements by their clients offered no proof they violated Arbery’s civil rights and targeted him because he’s Black. They urged the jury to set aside their emotions.
“It’s natural for you to want retribution or revenge,” said Pete Theodocion, representing William “Roddie” Bryan. “But we have to elevate ourselves ... even if it’s the tough thing.”
The slaying of Arbery nearly two years ago, on Feb. 23, 2020, was captured in a graphic cellphone video that sparked widespread outrage. Father and son Greg and Travis McMichael armed themselves after spotting Arbery running past their home and chased him in a pickup truck. Bryan joined his neighbors in his own truck and recorded the video of Travis McMichael firing at point-blank range.
Police found Arbery had no weapon and no stolen items. Prosecutors said he was merely out jogging.
Travis McMichael’s attorney, Amy Lee Copeland, told the jury that prosecutors presented no evidence that he “ever spoke to anyone about Mr. Arbery’s death in racial terms.” She said her client opened fire in self-defense after Arbery tried to take away his shotgun.
Three evil men will never see freedom again.
Greg McMichael’s attorney, A.J. Balbo, argued that his client initiated the chase not because Arbery was a Black man, but because he was “THE man” the McMichaels had seen in security camera videos taken from a nearby house under construction.
The McMichaels and Bryan, convicted of murder last fall in a Georgia state court, pleaded not guilty to the federal charges.
FBI agents uncovered roughly two dozen racist text messages and social media posts from the McMichaels and Bryan in the years and months preceding the shooting.
For instance, in 2018, Travis McMichael commented on a Facebook video of a Black man playing a prank on a white person: “I’d kill that fucking Nigger.”
Some witnesses testified they heard the McMichaels' racist statements firsthand. A woman who served under Travis McMichael in the U.S. Coast Guard a decade ago said he called her "Nigger lover," after learning she'd dated a Black man. Another woman testified Greg McMichael had ranted angrily in 2015 when she remarked on the death of civil rights activist Julian Bond, saying, “All those Blacks are nothing but trouble.”
There was a mass shooting in Portland, Oregon. This shooting has the far-right and far-left pointing fingers at one another. One extremist is trying to distance himself from the violence. The only thing I see from this incident as always: The gun always wins this debate.
There was a protest in Portland for Amir Locke, the Minneapolis man who was shot and killed in a "no-knock" raid this year. There were four people shot and one person killed. The terrorist is in custody.
Be warned there will be graphic images and video.
Please share and support this fundraiser for their funeral, medical, and other expenses. https://t.co/tlHjVincnv
Ben Smith IS NOT A HOMEOWNER & the killing WAS politically motivated. He is a part of the #furry community which has a history of alt-right ties. Furrys fall all across the political spectrum though. Reports that he sells ghost guns & is a gun fanatic. 2/https://t.co/pWrWMOZ32x
Portland Police made definitive statements about the #PortlandMassShooter that weren't important details but make the shooter look less culpable. That he was a home owner and he didn't have political affiliations. Both of these are wrong. 4/
There have been two mass shootings by #AndyNgo followers. Andy tweeted video of a small security group, calling them extremists. Within a week Ben Smith was calling them terrorists and shooting those Andy demonized. Now Andy is sticking up for the shooter.#BenSmith#LyndonMcLeod

The solidarity march for Amir Locke was a demand for the end of "no knock warrants" and "police violence." This event turned into a moment in gun violence. Somebody dies.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Kate Brown, mayor Ted Wheeler, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and the five U.S. Representatives from Oregon were informed of the latest mass shooting.
The victim fought for change.
This far right extremist Andy Ngo is a gay Asian American man who sucks the cock of white supremacy. Antifa has been clashing with this extremist for years. He often is doxxing the addresses of those who are involved in protests. He is being fingered as the instigator of the attack. He encouraged a white man to shoot at the protesters.
The shooter immediately fired upon the protesters as soon as he got out of his vehicle.
The Portland Police, ATF and FBI are investigating his motives. They obtained a search warrant to search his apartment. They had obtained a cache of firearms and searched his phone. He was live texting and sharing on far-right platform Telegram before the shooting.
Apparently this guy was a "furry" and sympathizer of far-right extremism. He was motivated to shoot members of antifa and Black Lives Matter.
This furry movement is people dressing in cosplay as animals they claim to identify with. Some real crazy ass shit going on in the land of freedom.
The victim shot by the terrorist is identified as June Knightly, 60. She was protesting against violence against people of color. She was described as "a warm giving and kind person who spent time trying to think of things she could do to make the world better and to make herself better in the world."
The terrorist is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder. He could face state hate crime charges if he was motivated to attack people based on race. The charges carry LIFE in the iron college. If the feds determine he was restricted from owning weapons, he could face a federal sandwich.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Should the far right be blamed for the actions of the shooter?
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.
Gay Asian Neo-Nazi may have instigated violence.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

Former Fox commentator passed away. The Fox Democrat, Bob Beckel passed away.
The former Fox commentator who was a co-host of The Five passed away at the age of 73. Beckel was friends with the most annoying media personality in the country. "Softball" Hannity announced the passing on his program on Monday.
The agitator said, "We miss him already."
Very sad news. Bob Beckel has died. One of the few liberal pundits you can truly like and respect despite political disagreements. pic.twitter.com/iexY8lai7X
Beckel came from the old school wing of the Democratic Party. He was the campaign manager for former vice president Walter Mondale's ill-fated run for president in 1984. Mondale was the first Democratic nominee to have a woman on the ticket.
Beckel was the guy where suspenders and talking bluntly about politics. His best friend and debate partner Cal Thomas also announced the news on his show.
Beckel was a life-long alcohol abuser. He had admitted that he was addicted to alcohol and drugs. He had two stints on Fox. He was a paid commentator who frequented the network when it came to debating the far-right extremist.
When he was promoted to be the one "token" liberal in a circle of four far-right extremists, Beckel kindly joined The Five. He was on the show for the first four years before he was pulled in 2015.
He was going through rehab because of his addiction to cocaine, painkillers and alcohol. He returned in 2017 after a brief stint with CNN.
Beckel was fired out the cannon for good after he racially insulted a Black woman.
The Fox Democrats are conservative. Look at the ones they got now. Harold Ford, Jr. and Karen Gabbard. Two washed up politicians willing to sell their soul for a few hours of television coverage.
Washed Up 45 and Karen Nunes launches Truth Social and it still has bugs.
T Media Tech LLC launched the platform for Apple iOS and is currently for the App store. It is still trying to work out a deal with Google Play.
It calls itself, America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology.
Yet you can't complain about the platform, disparage the former president or promote an agenda that is opposite of Truth Social.
When the company was first announced in October 2021, its terms of service said the company would not be legally responsible for "the content, accuracy, offensiveness, opinions [or] reliability" of anything users might post to the site. Some commentators noted that this self-declared immunity appeared to rely on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a law that Washed Up 45 firmly opposed during his presidency.
The terms of service further added that users would be forbidden to "disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site". Truth Social said it has the right to "suspend or terminate your account" and also "take appropriate legal action".
Upon downloading the app, many people who tried to register as users were waitlisted. On its first day of being realeased, it reached No. 1 on the app store's top charts, despite having early difficulties.
The company’s inability to secure access to its platform is just the latest security failure. Hours after Trump announced the name of his new platform last October, the site was briefly live and quickly discovered by hackers who were able to register an account pretending to be the former president and post a picture of a pig with swollen testicles taking a dump.
Basically you are likely going to have to wait to see what the former president says. A lot of white nationalists who were booted off Twitter are looking forward to the platform.
Justin Bieber and wife Hailey got the coronavirus.
The Canadian-American singer confirms he tested positive for the coronavirus. Only a week ago, he was performing at a Super Bowl LVI party when Kodak Black was shot after a scuffle.
Justin Bieber is spending time at his Los Angeles home after testing positive for the coronavirus. He was expected to perform in Las Vegas.
On Sunday postponed his scheduled show at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In a statement, officials with his Justice World Tour said the delay was prompted by “positive COVID results within the Justice Tour family.”
Representatives for Bieber later told Variety that the 27-year-old had tested positive for COVID-19. He was experiencing a “mild case” of the viral infection, according to CNN.
Sunday’s postponement marked the latest for the Justice World Tour, which kicked off in San Diego on Friday after being delayed for two years due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Las Vegas show had initially been set to take place in June 2020. It will now take place on June 28, according to officials with T-Mobile Arena.
“Justin is of course hugely disappointed, but the health and safety of his crew and fans is always his number one priority,” tour officials said Sunday. “The tour launch in San Diego was a massive success, and Justin is excited to bring this spectacular show to his Las Vegas fans as soon as possible.”
Bieber’s concert scheduled for Tuesday night at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, has also been postponed and is scheduled to take place June 30, according to arena officials. The singer is next set to take the stage at The Forum in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Over 950,000 Americans are dead from the coronavirus. Over 53,000 Canadians 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!

There is no confirmation as of yet, but multiple tabloids online are saying that The Wendy Williams Show will come to an end by June. It is official that Sherri Shepherd will be a permanent guest host but it now appears the executive producers are planning to launch The Sherri Shepherd Show in its place.
The former View co-host is now finally going to have her own show.
Williams had medical issues prolonging and the executives couldn't take another delay in her return.
Some believe she's experiencing dementia due to mental illness and admitted use to drugs. She admitted she has been involved in cocaine and alcoholism. She has dealt with Graves' disease, hyperthyroidism and lymphedema.
I am so happy to see this new video of Wendy walking on the beach in Florida. Wendy Williams did what so many others couldn’t in daytime TV and I hope she returns when she is ready. pic.twitter.com/xfT0UT2WJM
"The producers informed everyone that the [Wendy Show] was being canceled at the end of June," sources close to production spilled to the outlet. "Then in the next breath they hired everyone to work on the new Sherri show."
As of now, Shepherd's show is set to premiere in the fall.
Executives have apparently been trying to bring Wendy's titular daytime program to an end for years but kept failing to find a suitable replacement for the star.
Sherri Shepherd will be hosting her own show in the fall.
Long before her most recent medical leave, production sources told Love B. Scott that she was "checked out," making her increasingly difficult to work with.
"[Wendy] had become somewhat unbearable, having tantrums and throwing things at people," dished the insiders. "Basically, the consensus among the crew is that she didn't wanna be there anymore. Her illnesses may have exacerbated that feeling."
At this time, it's not yet known whether Wendy will make a return to her coveted purple chair before The Wendy Williams Show officially wraps up.
As we've reported, her ongoing yet somewhat mysterious health issues first made headlines in the fall of 2021. She has not hosted her show since July.
Williams' public heath woes twice delayed the premiere of Season 13, which ended up debuting in October, sans-Wendy.
Instead, several famous faces have done their part to fill in during her absence, including fan-favorites Shepherd and Leah Remini. Sources recently told us Leah was "pissed" when she found out Sherri was "offered the job behind her back."
Remini was the co-host of The Talk. She and Holly Robinson Peete were fired by Sharon Osbourne and Sara Gilbert, the creators of the CBS talk show.
So who's coming to Florida for the CNUTS convention. The gathering of far-right extremists in Orlando will be a gathering of elitists and conspiracy theorists. Oh, there's Washed Up 45, he's going to be there.
But one in particular is unexpected but not surprising.
Former Hawai'ian lawmaker Karen Gabbard, the former 2020 Democratic candidate is a Republican.
…likelihood of the conflict going nuclear (accidentally or intentionally). And what for? To supposedly protect a “democracy” that really isn’t a democracy; to distract from domestic failures/show how tough Biden is. Biden can prevent war, but I fear he lacks the courage to do so
After resigning from Congress after facing a strong primary challenger from the left, Gabbard became the Fox "Democrat." Apparently she is no longer a member of the Democratic Party. She is now a far-right extremist.
She has been a vocal critic of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and "wokeism."
The Conservative Political Action Conference is a gathering of conservative minded elitists who share strategies on how to win elections and keep America distracted with culture war issues. The event mostly supports white nationalism and far-right extremism.
Remember Hillary Clinton was right.
Clinton said in 2019 that Russia is hoping to capitalize off a candidate who supports their vision.
Without mentioning her name, she said that the federation is grooming a candidate to run a third-party campaign to sabotage Democrats in the 2020 election.
She said that this candidate was promoted on RT and is more aligned with the federation's vision of the world.
Gabbard, the stooge tried to sue Clinton for defamation. The stooge couldn't sue her. Clinton did not mention names. So once out of office, she started appearing on Tuckems and Softball Hannity.
Gabbard's family was always conservative. She was never aligned with the Democrats. She was the one Democratic lawmaker to vote present when it came to impeaching Washed Up 45. She didn't join Karen Van Drew of New Jersey when he switched from being a Democrat to becoming a Republican after casting his vote to not impeach.
Gabbard was a gadfly to then President Barack Obama. She supported the Syrian regime in its ethnic cleansing.
Gabbard supported Bernie Sanders for president in 2016 bid. Got upset over the DNC's rules when it came to getting voter data. Got into a feud with Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL), then DNC chairwoman and threaten to fight her. Quit the DNC as the co-chairwoman. Criticized Clinton after she got her nomination. Did not endorse her in 2016.
Gabbard would be one of five women running for president. She got into a spat with Harris and thought she won the debate. Harris would drop out of her presidential bid with Gabbard snide shading her.
Gabbard tried to stay in the race so she could sabotage Biden in his third run, Sanders in his second run and Michael Bloomberg, a candidate who felt the field without Harris and Beto O'Rourke was weak.
Gabbard would leave the presidential race and endorse Biden abid tepidly.
Gabbard was born in American Samoa. She is part Samoan half white. She was elected to represent Hawai'i's 2nd Congressional District for four terms before resigning.
Rep. Kai Kahele (D-HI) is the current lawmaker for the district.
Did you know that going to CNUTS is expensive? The is cost almost $300 a day. Silver tickets cost $3,000, Gold tickets cost $7,000, Platinum tickets cost over 25,000.
Most of the people speaking are elitists. They are members of the swamp.
While most of the lower class watches CNUTS on their local providers, the rich and powerful celebrate and eat lavish foods, drink wines, meet Orlando's working girls and guys and spend time at four-star hotels and spas.
These leftists need to find out the hard way. We just not into you.
Uh oh and most definitely no. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is endorsing a guy who backed the grifting of Talcum X.
Anything touched by Sanders is a red flag. He and his acolytes are toxic to the Democratic Party.
Anyone who endorses "Defund The Police" or in your face politics is doomed. Matter of fact, they will doom all candidates statewide.
Lee Merritt is doing a sacrificial lamb run for Texas Attorney General. Republicans would love him as the Democratic nominee. They have so much dirt on this guy. On top of that, he's attached to grifter Jeffrey Shaun King.
I’m endorsing Lee Merritt for Texas Attorney General because he understands that our broken criminal justice system puts poor people in jail while Wall Street crooks & pharmaceutical executives aren’t held accountable for their crimes. He has the courage to take on the powerful. pic.twitter.com/NOPhnzgZlC
According to the source, NONE of the lawyers Shaun King has cc'ed: S. Lee Merritt, India Sneed, Ron Sullivan, and Ben Crump -- are on retainer. They don't list him as clients despite the fact that he has been publicly touting them as "representing" him.
Merritt like Nina Turner is clueless to the Black community. Like many people are tired of him appearing in every high profile police shooting.
Samira Rice and Lisa Simpson, the mothers of Tamir Rice and Richard Risher have said that Merritt along with King, Tamika Mallory, Ben Crump, Patrisse Cullors, Melina Abdullah and the Black Lives Matter Global Network needs to "stop monopolizing and capitalizing" on their "fight for justice and human rights."
That right there should be a reason for him for his candidacy to be doomed.
Merritt is licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He can only practice federal law in Texas. He almost lost his license as a lawyer. The Texas Supreme Court almost stripped him of license after he was accuse of practicing law in the state without a valid license.
Being associated with Jeffrey Shaun King proved disastrous for Bernie Sanders.
He also was asking for donations to help King move out of his New Jersey home. The $1 million home that he purchase claiming it came from his wife's earnings was ridiculed by critics. They believe that King's shady practices led to him gaining the funds to purchase that home.
On top of that Merritt was grifting for them.
"My good friends @shaunking and @mrsraiking are being forced to move from their home after national media publications printed their home address claiming they lived in a house too lavish for their incomes. Shaun is one of the nation's leading movement journalist and Rai is an education professional who purchased the modest home after years of saving and planning."
He added, "What is happening to the King family is fundamentally unfair and heartbreaking but for the sake of the safety of their children they have to move. Security advisors have caution them to do so quickly. This is an expensive proposition and will force them to sell their home at a loss. I'm asking you to send them your support today. These two are literally married to the movement and will stop what they are doing at any given moment to serve the needs of others. They are in need of our help today. Let's show up for them.
The tragic shooting of Adolphus Thornton, Jr. known as Young Dolph rocked the hip-hop community.
Born in Chicago, raised in Memphis, the rapper became a favorite southern hip-hop artist. He was killed on Nov. 17 after entering Makeda's Butter Cookies to purchase cookies for himself and his children.
Shundale Barnett was arrested in Indiana in early January, along with accused killer Justin Johnson. https://t.co/K3FuoQauNu
Two terrorists got out of a vehicle and opened fire on the building. The bullets immediately killed Dolph and put others at risk of severe injury.
Now the bakery/restaurant in South Memphis is a shrine to the rapper.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI are now seeing there is a coordinated conspiracy to getting the rapper. Two were arrested quickly. But now there are three other terrorists are being sought after.
They are being sought by authorities and will be criminally charged with first-degree murder.
The suspects are considered armed and dangerous.
One of the shooters went by the name Straight Drop. He had a previous encounter with firearms. He was the idiot who fired inside a Memphis bowling alley about four years ago.
Now they all could face the DEATH card if convicted in the state of Tennessee. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!
One of the world's longest serving and living monarchs has tested positive for the coronavirus. The 95-year old Queen Elizabeth II is experiencing mild symptoms but is being closely monitored and is expected to do light duties.
The royal is fully vaccinated and has gotten a booster shot as well had made remarks to palace staff that she was having trouble moving and had to spend a night in the hospital.
In less than two weeks, Elizabeth will mark 70 years on the throne. She assigned to royal hierarchy in 1952 when she was 25 years old. Since her reign, she has met most American presidents with the exception of Lyndon B Johnson.
President Joe Biden, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other world leaders close to the British monarchy are notified.
"I’m sure I speak for everyone in wishing Her Majesty The Queen a swift recovery from Covid and a rapid return to vibrant good health," Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Twitter.
News of the monarch's diagnosis comes after it was confirmed that her son, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, tested positive for COVID-19. Clarence House announced Prince Charles’s diagnosis on Feb. 10, and Camilla's on Feb. 14.
This is the second time Prince Charles, 73, has tested positive for COVID-19, with his first diagnosis coming in March 2020, before he was vaccinated.
Queen Elizabeth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, held several virtual and in-person events this month, including an event in Sandringham on Feb. 5 to mark her 70 years on the throne.
The queen, who returned to Windsor Castle shortly after the reception, met with representatives from local community groups in the ballroom at Sandringham House to celebrate the start of the Platinum Jubilee.
With tensions with the Russian Federation rising, the news of the royal monarch having the coronavirus is big especially when Great Britain and the European Union ally with NATO and the United States in condemning federation president Vladimir Putin's attempt to invade Ukraine.
Over 185,000 British citizens died from the coronavirus. Here in the United States, we have over 950,000 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!
