The actor who played Nathan Brooks on Good Times has passed away. Johnny Brown passed away at the age 84-year old.
His daughter, actress Sharon Catherine Brown announced the news on her Instagram on Friday.
He passed away on Mar. 2. His daughter began with the post with his birth and death. She wrote, "Johnny Brown June 11, 1937 - March, 2 2002."
Sharon continued in her lengthy and heartfelt post: "Our family is devastated. Devastated. Devastated. Beyond heartbroken. Barely able to breathe. We respectfully ask for privacy at this time because we need a minute to process the unthinkable."
She asked for privacy as the family takes time to "process the unthinkable."
Brown continued, "It's too terrible. It will never not be. It's a shock. He was literally snatched out of our lives. It's not real for us yet. So there will be more to say but not now. Dad was the absolute best. We love him so very much."
In addition to being on Good Times, he appeared on Broadway and a was a regular on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.
Brown was born in St. Petersburg, Florida and grew up in Harlem, New York.
Aside from his daughter, Johnny leaves behind his wife of 61 years, June, their son, J.J. (Johnny, Jr.) and young brother named George and brother-in-law named Pat.
Brown began his career at an amateur night at The Apollo.
He starred in a nightclub act with who would later become his wife along with the late actor/singer/tap dancer Gregory Hines, and his father Maurice Hines.
The Republican Party wants to be the protector of parents' rights. Yet, they are on a clear path to banning a woman's right to choose if she wants to be a parent, a transgender girl's right to participate in girls sports, a person's right to make a child wear a mask in public. They have no real agenda going into the midterms. All the Republicans have is "Let's Go Brandon," and they just want to "own the libs."
Thanks to Sen. Karen Scott (R-FL), the former governor of Florida, the Republican agenda is out in the open and folks ain't liking this shit much. But his successor is just as bad. He will likely win reelection despite the controversy. Washed Up 45 carried Florida by 9 points and despite carrying this state and Ohio, two key states to victory, he still lost because he lost Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Florida's Karen DeSantis is under fire for berating Black teens for wearing masks when he was doing his press conference.
Visibly annoyed, DeSantis admonished a group of high school students for wearing face masks at an indoor news conference Wednesday, saying it was time to stop what he called “this COVID theater.”
Correction: I believe these students are in high school.
Hillsborough School District says some of their kids from Middleton HS in Tampa were involved in the presser, so I believe these are those students.

The Republican governor approached the students and asked them to remove their masks as they waited for him at the press event at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The college is located in an area where the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends indoor masking due to high COVID-19 risk.
“You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything. We’ve got to stop with this COVID theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous,” he said, letting out an audible sigh and shaking his head.
DeSantis, a fierce opponent of virus mask and vaccine mandates, is running for reelection and is considered to be a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate. His opposition to coronavirus masking and vaccine mandates has drawn national attention, and his administration has banned mask mandates in schools, often with the governor and his Republican supporters saying parents should have control over the health care choices of their children.
One of the students, 14-year-old Kevin Brown Jr., a high school freshman, told The Associated Press he was caught off-guard by DeSantis and felt pressured to removed his mask.
“I was a little bit surprised at his tone,” Brown said of the governor, adding that he chose to leave his mask on because there were many unmasked people around and he was wary of getting COVID-19.
Brown’s father, Kevin Brown Sr., told WFLA-TV that he would advise DeSantis to “stop bullying kids.”
“I tell him it’s his choice, so he made that choice and the governor has no right to tell no kid or no one who they can or can’t wear a mask. He doesn’t have that right,” Brown Sr. told the TV station.
In a statement, Hillsborough County Public Schools Superintendent Addison Davis said school officials were excited to have their students featured in the governor’s news conference, which was about the funding of a cybersecurity education initiative. Davis praised the students for how they acted.
“It is a student and parent’s choice to protect their health in a way they feel most appropriate. We are proud of the manner in which our students represented themselves and our school district,” Davis said.
DeSantis’ office did not immediately return an email seeking comment. His spokesperson, Christina Pushaw, has tweeted defenses of the governor’s comments, writing “I mean, someone had to say it, after 2 years of propaganda that terrified and manipulated young people. Breathe free, feel safe and be happy.”
Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, the only statewide elected Democrat seeking the nomination to challenge DeSantis in the fall, used an expletive on Twitter to describe how the governor responded to the students.
In a telephone interview, she stood by the use of the curse word.
“I just said something that everybody else is already thinking,” Fried said. “It wasn’t even about the masks, it was how he talks as a grown man, as the governor of the state of Florida, to kids ... Sometimes you just have to show your raw emotion in reaction to a situation.”
Though the CDC late last month eased its masking guidelines, the agency is still recommending masks indoors in areas it considers high risk. Hillsborough County, where the college is located, is deemed high risk by the CDC.
Wow, the jobs report for the month of February was huge. I am almost taken aback by President Joe Biden's handling of the economy. It is very good right now but of course, you won't hear the good news because of gas prices, inflation and dissatisfaction by American voters.
He is being hammered by culture wars, the crisis in Ukraine, the failure to get Build Back Better passed and dealing with a Congress stuck on stupid. We are closing in on 1 million dead from the coronavirus.
The president has given up on trying convince the stupid to get vaccinated and follow CDC rules. He is now leaving up to doctors and medical providers. On top of that, you might have to pay for that COVID vaccine and test soon. As we are closing the book on the pandemic, the disease is still here and Americans are still dying from it. The unvaccinated will die and the vaccinated will face a mild symptoms.
Also the great resignation is happening. Millions of Americans are quitting their jobs due to unfair pay, stress and no quality of life.
The State of the Union should hopefully help his polls but its a short term bump. Cause in two weeks, we will talk about the latest distraction. Right now, we are over a week into the war in Ukraine and the West had issued harsh sanctions on Russia. The federation is in economic free fall.
The economy added 678,000 jobs in February, and the unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent from 4 percent in January. Economists polled by Dow Jones had expected an addition of 440,000 jobs. The monthly jobs report data were gathered before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Labor Department’s report Friday also showed that the unemployment rate dropped from 4% to 3.8%, extending a sharp drop in joblessness as the economy has rebounded from the pandemic recession.
Harris and Zelensky show solidarity.
The latest jobs data follows recent reports that have shown an economy maintaining strength as new COVID infections have plummeted since late January. Consumer spending has risen, spurred by higher wages and savings. Restaurant traffic has regained pre-pandemic levels, hotel reservations are up and far more Americans are flying than at the height of omicron.
Average hourly pay barely rose last month but has increased 5.1% in the past year, a sign that companies feel compelled to raise wages to attract and keep workers. Many employers, in turn, have been raising prices to offset their higher labor costs, a process that has fueled inflation.
Consumer inflation has reached its highest level since 1982, squeezing America’s households and businesses, with price spikes especially high for such necessities as food, gasoline and rent. In response, the Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates several times this year beginning later this month. Those increases will eventually mean higher borrowing rates for consumers and businesses, including for homes, autos and credit cards.
Chair Jerome Powell said this week that he plans to propose that the Fed raise its benchmark short-term rate by a quarter-point when it meets in about two weeks. Powell has acknowledged that high inflation has proved more persistent and has spread more broadly than he and many economists had expected.
The Fed chair cautioned that if inflation failed to ease later this year as he expects, he would consider carrying out half-point increases at future central bank meetings. Larger hikes would raise the risk of weakening the economy or even tipping it into recession.
Powell also warned that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will lead to higher prices for gas as well as for such other commodities as aluminum, wheat and corn, thereby keeping inflation higher than it would otherwise have been. Oil prices, which have been soaring since war began more than a week ago, are critically important to the global economy.
For now, though, despite high inflation, the rapid fading of the omicron variant is likely to accelerate the U.S. economy and job growth. A survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that Americans are now much less worried about COVID than they were in December and January. Mask mandates and other restrictions are ending. More companies are returning to pre-pandemic operations, including working in offices.
Democrats have long road ahead to keep the majority.
Data from the restaurant reservation software provider OpenTable showed that seated diners surpassed pre-pandemic levels late last month. And figures from the Transportation Security Administration reflected a sharp increase in the number of people willing to take airplane flights.
During the omicron wave, businesses barely wavered in their demand for workers. Job openings at the end of December reached near-record levels, with an average of 1.7 available positions for every unemployed person. Historically, there are usually more people out of work than there are jobs.
With many companies desperate for employees, layoffs have plunged. The number of people receiving unemployment aid fell two weeks ago to its lowest level since 1970.
Americans’ concerns about inflation have eroded their optimism about the economy. The Conference Board’s measure of consumer confidence slipped in February for a second straight month.
Still, other surveys show that Americans are increasingly satisfied with their own financial situations. And people clearly see that many jobs are available, the Conference Board’s survey shows.
The monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics report comes amid a dramatic drop in COVID-19 infections and after a surprisingly strong January report that showed 481,000 new jobs after upward revision. The labor force participation rate ticked up to 62.3 percent. Wage growth dipped slightly from 5.7 percent on an annualized basis in January to 5.1 percent.
President Joe Biden's headaches:
The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a democratic socialist.
The members of The Squad and Progressive Caucus.
The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
Anti-Vaxxers.
Lawmakers and activists who protests the CDC guidelines during the pandemic.
The endless culture wars that Republicans find outrage in.
Washed Up 45 and his minions on Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the internet.
Facebook and TikTok and the idiots who run it and the idiots who post on it.
Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and OANN's relentless talk about Hunter Biden.
The relentless talk about spending despite the former president's reckless things.
Gun violence in the country and Congress refusal to do something about it.
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.
Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in.

Things are slowly returning back to normal. However we're still not out of the woods yet. Over 78% of Americans have at least gotten one of the coronavirus vaccines. Around 135 million Americans refusing to be vaccinated which will lead to the coronavirus being resistant to vaccines. As it mutates into a deadly strain, folks who refuse to follow the CDC guidelines will eventually turn it into a super-pandemic in which those who come into contact with an infected asymptomatic person could trigger the mass destruction of the human race.
Boebert and Greene are embarrassing Republicans.
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.
Companies are still trying to hire employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour.
Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.
Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.
We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being overworked and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.
Millions are quitting their jobs.
Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.
Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.
Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience.
Washed Up 45's presidency and Republican controlled governments killed millions of Americans. President Joe Biden has a slim majority in Congress and things can't be done with obstruction from both parties.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
The sanctions are hurting the Russian Federation. It appears that RT is closing up shop in Washington, DC. The network RT America is ending operations and it is laying off staff.
That means that Rachel Blevins, Dennis Miller, Lee Camp, Rick Sanchez, Jesse Ventura, Scottie Nell Hughes, Max Blumenthal and even Tara Reade are out of jobs. They won't be allowed to push propaganda for the Russian Federation.
Reade, the staff assistant for then Senator Joe Biden claimed nearly 30 years ago, he digitally penetrated her in the halls of the U.S. Capitol. She made the claim of sexual assault after initially claiming he was playing with her hair and then claiming she didn't get a vibe about him.
Biden denied ever sexually assaulting her.
Her story was amplfied by the far-left, far-right and the Russian troll farm.
It was debunked but it still exists on the political extremes.
The network was declared as state run propaganda by the United States and it was told to register as a foreign agent. The Foreign Agent Registration Act was enacted in 1938. FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities. Disclosure of the required information facilitates evaluation by the government and the American people of the activities of such persons in light of their function as foreign agents. The FARA Unit of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) in the National Security Division (NSD) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of FARA.
CNN's media analyst Oliver Darcy got word of RT America shut down at 5pm. He wrote Misha Solodovnikov, the general manager of T&R Productions, told staff in the memo that it will be "ceasing production" at all of its locations "as a result of unforeseen business interruption events."
"Unfortunately, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations," Solodovnikov wrote.
T&R Productions operated offices in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC.
The news would mean an effective end to RT America. The network, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's main mouthpieces in the US, was dropped earlier this week by DirecTV, dealing a major financial blow to it. The satellite carrier was one of the two major television providers in the US to carry the network.
Roku, a company that sells hardware which allows users to stream content through the internet, also said that it had banished RT America from its platform.
RT, which operates multiple networks across the world, has seen its reach significantly diminish in recent days as technology companies and television providers have moved to sever ties with it as a result of Russia's unprovoked war on Ukraine.
Several employees from RT's various networks have also publicly resigned from the outlet.
RT America employees who worked from the Washington, DC, bureau were told on Wednesday that an all-staff meeting would occur on Thursday afternoon, according to an email obtained by CNN.
When hosts, correspondents, producers, and others gathered in RT America's lounge, Solodovnikov delivered the news in person, a person who attended the meeting told CNN.
"The meeting was all of about two minutes," the attendee said, explaining that Solodovnikov told the assembled staff RT America would be stopping production and that staff would be provided two months pay.
The attendee, who requested anonymity to discuss the internal deliberations, told CNN that the mood was somber.
"A lot of people were shocked," the person said. "A lot of people were crying."
An RT America host, who also spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity, said that she watched as her entire staff was told "their jobs were no more."
"I have never felt more heartbroken as they have nothing to do with this conflict and seriously were just trying to make a decent living to provide for their families," the host said.
Solodovnikov did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for RT America did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Ye off the deep end. He slammed for doing fake SNL skit burying Pete Davidson.
As the feud between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West heats up, the rapper releases his first single off the Donda 2 album. The single "Eazy" featuring The Game is burning up the charts. But what is driving controversy is West burying Pete Davidson, the alleged boyfriend of Kardashian.
Kardashian is formally filing for divorce from West after eight years of marriage. The reality television agitator has also had blocked him from social media. She is pretty much done with his antics.
Ye, not completely through with her does this single aimed at her and Davidson.
Kanye West is a very sick man.
There is nothing cute, entertaining, or even remotely interesting about what he’s doing and he needs to be held accountable for his antics before someone gets hurt.
Kanye West is an abuser. His art is being used as a cover & his supporters are detestable, including the record industry, music reviewers, & any media who showcase him/his music. In women’s history month it is important to call out abuse, & support the abused, Ms Kardashian/kids.
— President Kamala’s Hand (Again) (@myronjclifton) March 3, 2022
Ye directly references beating Davidson, the NBC "Saturday Night Live" comedian who is dating Ye’s ex Kim Kardashian, in his lyrics. In the video for "Eazy," posted Wednesday, a claymation version of what appears to be Ye kidnaps Davidson with a hood over his head and buries him alive.
At another point in the video, Ye holds what looks like a disembodied head. The final few frames are text titles that read "Everybody lived happily ever after ... except Skete you know who. JK he's fine."
Representatives for Ye and Davidson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Kim and Pete ain't phased.
The video was posted to Ye's verified Instagram account and a YouTube account for Stem Player, a business venture supported by Ye and the only device where his new album "Donda 2" has been made available. The Instagram video has been viewed more than 3.8 million times.
Many on social media called the video "unsettling" and "disturbing." Some also expressed concerns over Davidson's security.
"This video is disturbing," one Instagram user commented. "Clearly that is Pete and this should be a cause for concern. Like everyone giving hearts to Kanye when people should be calling 911 to protect Pete and to get Kanye some mental health help."
One Twitter user called Ye a "sick person" and asserted that some have excused his behavior because of his music.
"Stop feeling sorry for him. He knows y’all will let him get away with stuff like this because he gave you good beats," they wrote. "He’s harassing Kim and Pete and endangering his children. It’s not funny."
The video comes after a series of attacks levied against Davidson and a court decision to declare Kardashian legally single.
Kardashian filed paperwork with the court last month citing Ye's social media with causing "emotional distress" and asked the court to approve her request to bifurcate their marriage. Ye objected to the bifurcation last month.
“Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress," Kardashian's filing said. "I believe that the court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children.”
The single hot but the radio stations may drop it.
Ye's attorney disputed Kardashian’s criticism of his social media posts. “The statement that ‘Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation...on social media’ is double hearsay,” Ye’s attorney wrote in an objection that was obtained by E! News. “Kim claims she read something online allegedly by Kanye and characterizes the posts in her declaration as misinformation.”
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Ye posted screenshots apparently from Kardashian expressing concern over his social media posts creating a “dangerous and scary environment” for Davidson. He apologized for sharing screenshots of their communications and acknowledged that it “came off as harassing Kim.”
A judge approved Kardashian's request to be legally single on Wednesday, the same day the "Eazy" video was posted.
A representative for Kardashian did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
Karen resigns from Congress after he admits to an affair.
A Karen admits to having an affair with a woman who once pledged an alliance to the Islamic State. It isn't a big deal but for the Republican Party and their tone deaf views of the world, it's everything.
So he is not only admitting he cheated on his wife, but he did with a British woman who was inspired by the bullshit rhetoric of extremists.
Rep. Karen Taylor (R-TX) has decided to no longer seek the primary nomination for the 3rd Congressional District. The lawmaker's abruptly dropped his bid for re-election Wednesday after admitting he had an affair with a woman who was an ex-jihadist "ISIS" bride.
He cheated on his wife with the widow of an extremist.
"Today I am announcing I will not continue my campaign to seek reelection to Congress," said Taylor in an email sent to the Dallas Morning News.
"About a year ago, I made a horrible mistake that has caused deep hurt and pain among those I love most in this world. I had an affair, it was wrong, and it was the greatest failure of my life."
Taylor added, "I want to apologize for the pain I have caused with my indiscretion, most of all my wife Anne and our three daughters."
A conservative website decided to reveal his discretions. National File revealed that Taylor had an affair with British woman Tania Joya -- the widow of John Georgelas, the American who joined the Islamic State in 2013.
Joya, 38 and Taylor, a Marine veteran were "very close" after meeting through her work helping reprogram extremists. She started this after her brief stay in the war torn Syria.
Joya and Taylor were texting sexual favors and emojis of love.
British woman who married an American who left to join the Islamic State admits to affair with Texas lawmaker.
Towards the end of their affair, Joya asked Taylor for help paying off some bill sand she claimed he agreed and gave her $5,000, but only if she kept her mouth shut. The alleged hush money was first revealed with Breitbart, the notorious white nationalist and fake news website.
"I need help. I was like, just help me out because the least -- the very least he could do," she told Breitbart. "For him, it was like, 'OK, on the condition you don't tell anyone' ... I didn't want to tell anybody anything," said Joya.
He was heading into a run off with a far-right extremist Karen Self. By him dropping out, Self will become the nominee and likely the next Rep-elect.
The lawmaker supported Washed Up 45 throughout his term. On top of that, the lawmaker was one of the many who opposed the certification of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He supported the commission to investigate Jan. 6. The far-right was waiting on this one. They wanted to sabotage candidates who are considered not supportive of the former president.
Joya knows the fallout but continues to stand strong.
The former president inspired thousands of extremists to attack the U.S. Capitol.
What gets me, why does Taylor have to resign?
Washed Up 45 has cheated on his three wives and is alleged sexual predator. He basically got away with causing chaos and discourse throughout his one term. I mean he never apologized nor accepted fault for his actions. I thought Republicans were on board with no longer political correctness or apologizing for behavior.
A woman hacks a man. She shoves his head in a pot.
A woman interested in Jeffrey Dahmer decides to kill a man she dated.
She loved the man to death.
The monster was arrested by the Green Bay Police after a family member discovered the remains of the victim inside a bucket.
The 24-year-old monster killed and dismembered Shad Thyrion during a drug-fueled sex session — dumping his head and penis in a bucket and his legs in a crockpot.
The monster allegedly told police they were “going to have fun trying to find all of the organs,” WBAY reported.
The mutilated victim in the ghastly crime Thursday was a 25-year-old Thyrion whom investigators have not identified but social media quickly identified it.
On Tuesday, the monster made her first appearance in Brown County Court via video conference on charges of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and third-degree sexual assault.
Prosecutors said the sexual assault charge is for acts that took place after the man was dead, WBAY reported.
Victim did not expect his lover loving him to death.
Police were called to a home on Stony Brook Lane about 3:30 a.m. Feb. 23 by a resident who reported finding her son’s head in a bucket, according to the news outlet.
She said she made the shocking discovery after being awakened by a door being slammed.
The monster, who investigators learned may have been the last person to be seen with the victim, was found at a home on Eastman Avenue with dried blood on her clothes, WBAY reported.
During a search of her van, police found a crockpot with human remains, including legs, according to a criminal complaint cited by the outlet.
At the mother’s house of horrors, they later found the head and penis in the bucket, an upper torso in a storage tote, “body fluid” and knives.
Pretty dangerous.
When asked about what happened, the suspect reportedly said, “That’s a good question.”
She told police she and the man had been smoking meth before going to his mother’s house, where they had sex using chains, according to WBAY.
The monster said she had blacked out at one point, then went “crazy” and began choking her partner — insisting she did not mean to kill him but enjoyed choking him.
She said “police were going to have fun trying to find all of the organs as she dismembered the body. Schabusiness stated all of the body parts should be in the basement,” according to the complaint.
“Schabusiness stated she used knives that she obtained from the kitchen of the residence and that a bread knife worked the best because of the serrated blade,” the complaint continues.
The monster said she “did get paranoid and lazy and that she thought it was the ‘dope’ that was making her paranoid,” the document adds.
She also said she planned on taking all the body parts with her but “got lazy and only ended up putting the leg/foot in the van and she forgot the head,” according to the complaint.
The monster appeared calm and said very little during her court appearance Tuesday, only acknowledging she has the right to legal counsel, the outlet reported.
The monster had recently been put on probation and was supposed to be wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet but apparently managed to remove it, WBAY reported. The reason for her probation was unclear.
Assistant District Attorney Caleb Saunders called last week’s harrowing crime “one of the most serious offenses we’ve had in this county in some time.”
“I think the facts alleged are extremely concerning and disturbing and go to the violent nature and grave nature of the offense,” he said.
A court commissioner set a $2 million get out free card during the hearing, where she was ordered to make her next appearance in three weeks.
The suspect faces LIFE in the iron college if convicted. She is designated a potential dangerous individual and maybe on suicide watch. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Beto O'Rourke got a long tough road ahead. Texas has never voted for a Democrat in a long time. The Dem gubernatorial nominee will face off against Karen Abbott.
Former congressman Beto O'Rourke won the Democratic nomination for the Texas gubernatorial race. A challenge is ahead for the Democratic nominee.
Will he beat the Republican governor?
O’Rourke faced a handful of fellow Democrats in the Tuesday primary, though there was little doubt about his chances of clinching the nomination. He has been the heavy favorite in the primary since announcing his candidacy in November, bolstered by his near-universal name recognition and fundraising prowess.
The Associated Press called the race about an hour after polls closed.
O’Rourke will likely face Texas Gov. Karen Abbott, a stalwart conservative who is facing a crowded field of Republican primary challengers, but is widely expected to lock down the GOP nomination.
O’Rourke, who served three terms in the House, shot to stardom within the Democratic Party during his 2018 campaign against Cruz. While he ultimately lost that race, he parlayed his popularity into a bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. He eventually suspended his campaign in November 2019 before the first primaries and caucuses.
While O’Rourke commands a loyal following among Democrats, both in his home state and nationally, he is also facing an uphill battle in his bid to oust Abbott in November.
For one, Democrats nationally are facing a difficult political environment this year, given their current control of the White House and both chambers of Congress. At the same time, Texas hasn’t elected a Democrat to the governor’s mansion since former Gov. Ann Richards won the office in 1990.
And while O’Rourke came within 3 percentage points of defeating Cruz in 2018, that was also in a year that proved much more favorable to Democrats across the board.
Abbott also has a massive financial advantage over O’Rourke. Campaign finance reports filed at the end of January showed the Republican incumbent with more than $62 million the bank. O’Rourke, by comparison, reported having $6 million on hand.
You can scream and shout and yet no one cares about you.
Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO) are the two least effective lawmakers in Washington, DC. They have no legislative accomplishments. They are white nationalists. I almost feel bad for Rep. Karen Donalds (R-FL). The Black Republican looked clearly annoyed with these goofy ass white women acting foolish. Shame he is an enabler of white nationalism.
This has become a theme among these white nationalists to interrupt the Democratic presidents. Infamously, the "You lie" lawmaker, Rep. Karen Wilson (R-SC) kept his fucking mouth shut this time.
Last night at President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address, the two Karens were trying to heckle him. They were met with boos and remarks of being told to "sit down."
QAnon Leader Karen McCarthy (R-CA) won't do anything about it. Given that Greene and Rep. Karen Gosar (R-AZ) appeared at a white nationalist conference and Republicans continue to push violent rhetoric, their only hope is to keep the public focused on Biden and not their party's increasingly pattern of white extremist behavior.
Greene was heard grumbling through the entire part of Biden's speech about Covid policy before she shouted a remark about women's sports when Biden mentioned new laws targeting transgender Americans and their families.
Boebert and Greene tried to start a "build the wall" chant — a reference to former Washed Up 45's calls to construct a wall across the U.S. southern border — when Biden referred to securing the border and reforming immigration law. The former president wanted Mexico to pay for the border wall. It turns out that America is paying for it.
Greene clearly annoyed Republicans sitting next to her.
But the moment that stood out most was when Boebert shouted "13 of them" — referring to the 13 U.S. service members who died in an attack in Afghanistan during the U.S. withdrawal last year — when Biden discussed battlefield conditions that may contribute to veterans' developing cancers "that would put them in a flag-draped coffin."
Boebert's remark came just before Biden mentioned that one such veteran was his son Beau Biden, who served in Iraq and died of brain cancer in 2015.
Her remark prompted some boos from fellow lawmakers.
"Her disruption was inappropriate, especially given the substance of the comments that the president was making at the time, which is to continue this way, which is to protect service members and our veterans," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said.
Sen. Karen Braun (R-IN) said: "It's something that I think that there's a place. That's not the place to do that."
The heckling came a day after Republican leaders condemned Greene for speaking at a gathering of white nationalists in Florida over the weekend. Both Obstructionist Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) and QAnon Leader McCarthy did a tepid condemnation of her appearance at the America First Political Action Committee conference, which was organized by a prominent white nationalist and where attendees chanted in praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After being booed, Boebert sat down slightly annoyed.
"It's unbecoming for a member of Congress to speak at an event that's promoted by anyone who espouses those views," said Rep. Karen Banks (R-IN), the head of the conservative Republican Study Committee. "This is an event that no Republican should attend ... and it's unfortunate that she did."
Greene defended her appearance, telling a CBS News reporter that she knew very little about the event's founder and was not aware of his views.
Boebert has cultivated a persona similar to Greene's. Late last year, she offered a phony apology after video emerged of her suggesting that fellow Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) had been mistaken for a terrorist in an elevator both were riding in the U.S. Capitol. Omar said the entire story was made up.
But Boebert did stand and cheer for one of Biden's lines Tuesday.
"We should all agree: The answer is not to defund the police," Biden said. "The answer is to fund the police."
Boebert leaped from her seat, clapping and shouting, "That's right!"
White nationalists vote against a ban on lynching.
Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) is hoping to retire with at least a memorable law being signed by President Joe Biden. He has longed for the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act to be passed by Congress and signed into law.
Rush had hope with Barack Obama and Washed Up 45, the bill would make it into the books. It failed because the Republicans opposed the legislation on the grounds of "freedom of speech."
Now with Biden in charge, he needs more than a few victories, he needs a battle flag over a spot.
The Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act will face a tough road ahead once it makes it to the Senate.
Republicans, Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) filibustering the legislation, it is likely to die. The 50 Republicans are adamant on opposing Biden. They are hoping that keeping Americans distracted on culture wars and the president's job approval will be their key to returning back to power. On top of that, they have no message nor an agenda. All they want to do in my honest opinion is "own the libs," claim credit for things they never supported and rewrite history to make it seem like they did achievements when they haven't.
Democrats are considered the party of diversity. Unfortunately, diversity comes with a price. We still have white nationalism within the party. Manchin, Sinema and leftists are just as bad as the far-right and their white nationalist base.
Sen. Karen Scott (R-SC) is the sole Black Republican in the senate. He is no longer interested in working on the interest of Democrats and civil rights leaders. He already has signalled he won't vote for Ketanji Brown Jackson, Biden's pick for the Supreme Court.
The House of Representatives passed the anti-lynching bill with 422-3.
Three white nationalists voted against it.
One more road to cross for Emmett Till.
Rep. Karen Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Karen Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Karen Roy (R-TX) were the white nationalists who voted against the legislation.
This adds more problems to the Republican Party. They already face heat for Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Karen Gosar (R-AZ) appearing at the America First Political Action Conference, a white nationalist-themed event sponsored by Karen Fauntes.
Emmett Till, a 14-year old boy from Chicago went to spend time with his family in Money, Mississippi.
A white woman claimed he whistled at her and it infuriated local racists Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam.
They snatched him from his bedroom. They literally beat him up, gouged his eyes out, shot him multiple times, tied his body to a cotton gin and toss the corpse in the Tallahatchie River. Till's mother, Mamie Till Moby had an open casket funeral for her son. The images were taken by Jet Magazine and it touched off outrage across the nation.
Emmett Till was lynched. Now the feds want to permanently outlaw it.
The two men were originally charged for the crime, but an all-white jury decided to not convict them.
Both men admitted they done the murder. They tried to cash off the fame but soon found themselves pariahs among the world. They both died miserable lives.
The woman who claimed Till whistled at her Carolyn Bryant is still alive, living under a different name.
Carolyn Bryant was the old-school style of Karens. A woman who would lie on a Black man.
The U.S. Justice Department had to close the door on Emmett Till murder because they couldn't get enough evidence to prosecute surviving members.
White nationalist lawmakers exist within the Republican Party. It's a sad state of affairs.
Biden addresses Ukraine, Russia, inflation, crime, coronavirus, mask mandates and his Build Back Better agenda.
It seems like every time a Democrat becomes the president, the junk food media puts more pressure on that person.
Every time a Democrat tries to fix the economy, Republicans oppose it, create scandals and culture war distractions to keep voters angry over things. The Republicans keep pressing that their policies were better and complain how Democrats are creating more messes despite not actually doing them.
It happened to Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and now Joe Biden. They always inherit a mess. When they try clean up a Republican president's mess, the junk food media and the extremists are rooting for swift completion or swift failure. They are never satisfied. They are quick to fall victim to misinformation and are likely the ones to siphon from the government. They keep us worried about things that don't affect their lives. It happens every time and Democrats keep allowing it to happen.
President Joe Biden will deliver his speech to the nation. His first State of the Union address will be a moment of his presidency. With poll numbers on the slide, the president must once again try to "Build Back Better."
Republicans, Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) pretty much sank his first year agenda. The support from Democrats toward Biden has went down.
The president will address the nation with Iowa's governor Karen Reynolds delivering the Republican Response. Also for shit and giggles, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) will deliver the "Bernie Response."
The key issues we're to expect are issues in Ukraine and Russia. He will address the economy and inflation. He will address his Build Back Better agenda. He will speak on Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination. He will formally end mask and vaccine mandates but urge caution. He will address obstruction in getting his agenda done. He will talk about his domestic agenda.
They will be possible fireworks at the State of the Union.
We will cover the results of it in the next posting.
A woman lost her life after speeding on Dayton, Ohio's road.
The city of Dayton, Ohio is facing a crisis within it streets. How can it slow down motorists?
A 47-year old woman was the latest victim of a fatal car accident on North Main Street (Ohio State Route 48). The road is the dividing line between east and west Dayton. The road is heavily traveled. It's very notorious for speeding, prostitution and abandoned buildings.
Francine Heard was traveling southbound on Main Street. The woman was traveling over 60 mph on a road with the speed limit at 35 mph. Somehow she lost control of her vehicle and she ended up crashing into a trolley pole. She was thrown out.
Her body ended up landing on another person's vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The woman as well as 50 people in the past two months caused accidents on North Main Street. The notorious stretch of road extends for five miles from the Great Miami River until you reach the intersections of Main Street at Turner/Shoup Mill Road.
The victim lives in Dayton, Ohio and had family in Greenville, South Carolina.
That is the most dangerous part of the road.
The Dayton Police, Montgomery County Sheriff's Department and Ohio State Patrol were concerned about Main Street for years. They often patrol that area for speeding and other violations on the road. They also have shot spotters and prostitution stings over in that area.
New mayor Jeff Mims will be tasked with bring Main Street back to the community.
There's been talk about a "road diet" on Main Street, West Third Street, Salem Avenue and Wayne Avenue and South Smithville Road, the most busiest roads in the city.
A road diet is reducing multiple lanes to limited lanes, add bicycle lanes, raised curbs, flashing signs for pedestrians, removing traffic signals at low traffic intersections, making bus lanes, added center turn lanes and reducing speed at certain roads and intersections.
Main Street could become the first in a series of road diets. It has worked in Columbus, Ohio.
If Dayton does finally get federal and state approval, they could enact this in 2022. They already have funds to remove nuisance properties, demolish unsafe structures, add more white street lights, make RTA pay for removal of abandoned trolley poles and lines.
They could line up trees, make parking spots on Main Street. Try to encourage businesses to invest in Northwest Dayton's neighborhoods. Eliminate food deserts. Make the community rise from the years of depression.
The most population Dayton, Ohio had at one time was in the 1960s when it was 223,000 residents. It has seen a decline to the current population of 138,000 residents. How can the Rust Belt bounce back?
The only city in the Rust Belt that doing reasonably well is Columbus. With a population over 1 million, Ohio's state capitol has been the Midwest hub for innovation. Cincinnati will eventually become the second largest city in the state.
Will Dayton be the next boom of business and travel safety?
