Bruce Willis Confirms He Has Aphasia!

Bruce Willis fights a different battle.

American actor and iconic tough guy confirms semi-retirement after a diagnosis of a uncurable disease.

Bruce Willis is stepping back from his roles as the world's tough guy because of a disorder that could seriously affect his brain and motor skills.

Bruce's wife Emma Herring, daughter Rumer Willis and her mother, ex-wife  Demi Moore confirm the news of his having aphasia.

The disease could disable him permanently.

Aphasia is an inability to comprehend or formulate language because of damage to specific brain regions.The major causes are stroke and head trauma. Aphasia can also be the result of brain tumors, brain infections, or neurodegenerative diseases, but the latter are far less prevalent.

To be diagnosed with aphasia, a person's speech or language must be significantly impaired in one (or more) of the four aspects of communication following acquired brain injury. Alternately, in the case of progressive aphasia, it must have significantly declined over a short period of time. The four aspects of communication are auditory comprehension, verbal expression, reading and writing, and functional communication.

The difficulties of people with aphasia can range from occasional trouble finding words, to losing the ability to speak, read, or write; intelligence, however, is unaffected. Expressive language and receptive language can both be affected as well. Aphasia also affects visual language such as sign language. In contrast, the use of formulaic expressions in everyday communication is often preserved. For example, while a person with aphasia, particularly expressive aphasia (Broca's aphasia), may not be able to ask a loved one when their birthday is, they may still be able to sing "Happy Birthday". One prevalent deficit in the aphasias is anomia, which is a difficulty in finding the correct word.

With aphasia, one or more modes of communication in the brain have been damaged and are therefore functioning incorrectly. Aphasia is not caused by damage to the brain that results in motor or sensory deficits, which produces abnormal speech; that is, aphasia is not related to the mechanics of speech but rather the individual's language cognition (although a person can have both problems, particularly if they suffered a hemorrhage that damaged a large area of the brain). An individual's "language" is the socially shared set of rules, as well as the thought processes that go behind verbalized speech. It is not a result of a more peripheral motor or sensory difficulty, such as paralysis affecting the speech muscles or a general hearing impairment.

Aphasia affects about 2 million people in the U.S. and 250,000 people in Great Britain. Nearly 180,000 people acquire the disorder every year in the U.S. alone. Any person of any age can develop aphasia, given that it is often caused by a traumatic injury. However, people who are middle aged and older are the most likely to acquire aphasia, as the other etiologies are more likely at older ages. for example, approximately 75% of all strokes occur in individuals over the age of 65.

Strokes account for most documented cases of aphasia: 25% to 40% of people who survive a stroke develop aphasia as a result of damage to the language-processing regions of the brain.

Rumer wrote on her social media: "To Bruce's amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities."

"As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," the caption continued. "This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support."

The caption said that the family is "moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him."

"As Bruce always says, "Live it up" and together we plan to do just that," it concluded, along with the names of his former wife, Demi Moore, who also shared the post, their daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, as well as his current wife, Emma, and their daughters Mabel and Evelyn.

Chicago Police Under Fire Again!

Miracle Boyd wants to smile again. She will when the feds indict the cop who sucker punched her.

An activist is filing a federal lawsuit against the Chicago Police after a longtime cop served her a knuckle style chilli.

Miracle Boyd was filming police arresting protesters at Grant Park in 2020. This was around the peak of the George Floyd protests. The corrupt cop, Nicholas Jovanovich rushed the line and slugged a hot plate into her mouth. She ended up getting a few of her teeth broken from that.

You are allowed to film the police. The police are public servants. The only thing that is not allowed is when they are conducting intense investigations or it impedes on their duty when dealing with an arrest. It is a slippery slope. But it also is a line of understandable circumstances.

Jovanovich has been with the department since September 2005. Last May, COPA concluded its investigation of the incident and recommended he be fired for excessive force and other violations. Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown objected, suggesting he be suspended for a year instead. 

He is still in the freezer after this encounter. The freedom of information release shows the moments where he physically assaults the then-18 year old during the protests.

Eighteen of the people Jovanovich reported using force against were Black, and four were Latinx; four, including Boyd, were women; two, including Boyd, were only 18 years old at the time of the attacks. At least six required medical attention.

In the report about the Grant Park incident, Jovanovich apparently conflated a confrontation between police and protesters that had occurred earlier in the day with the incident in which he struck Boyd. He checked boxes indicating Boyd was “armed with a weapon” he described as “cans [and] explosive devices” that she attacked police with. He also checked boxes indicating she committed “assault or battery” against him, and that he responded with an “open hand strike.”

In the narrative of the incident involving Boyd, Jovanovich wrote that during the protest at the Columbus statue, he was struck in the head, chest, and shoulder with frozen drink cans, and that two explosive devices went off near his head and feet. He describes “maneuvering” his way out of the melee with fellow officers while unopened cans, rocks, and fireworks continued to rain down on them. 

Some protesters did throw fireworks and other objects at police officers near the Columbus statue. The police initially retreated before returning in force and indiscriminately attacking protesters and journalists alike with fists, batons, and chemical irritants, confiscating cell phones and bicycles, and making mass arrests.

Jovanovich’s report says that “a short time later,” after he had regained his composure and caught his breath, he first saw Boyd. 

Jovanovich wrote that he “observed an unknown subject who was moving towards the back of the arresting officers who could not see the highly agitated person swinging and flailing their arms with an unknown object in their right hand. [Boyd] was yelling profanities and walking quickly toward the back of the arresting officers. [Boyd] continued to walk toward the officers extending the unknown object with their right hand. The officers were unaware of [Boyd] approaching them from behind and [Jovanovich] believing [Boyd] was going to batter the arresting officers or attempt to defeat the arrest [Jovanovich] immediately approached [Boyd] and with an open left hand struck [her] right hand knocking the object from [her] hand. [Boyd] then fled the scene.”

The report doesn’t mention that the “object” was a cell phone.

No Truth To That!

Mr. Bob Jones is the face of Truth Social.

Gettr, the far right platform created by a disgraced dead beat Republican consultant who slept with prostitutes, abused his wife, barely sees his children, told a woman to get an abortion, impregnated and confirmed the birth of his son with former conservative writer A.J. Delgado; plus he owes child support is beating his old boss's new social platform.

Truth Social has not taken off as expected. The former president and Karen Nunes' platform from TMTG is plummeting bigly.

Washed Up 45 is banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, DailyMotion and Spotify.

He has been using Gab, Rumble and other platforms that cater to far right agitators who were banned from the mainstream platforms.

Truth Social was supposed to be the Twitter for the right and an uncensored *wink, wink* media for all thoughts to be shared without the fear of being kicked off.

So they say.

While the app saw more than 800,000 downloads in its launch week, that number has declined to around 60,000 between March 20-27, according to data from the mobile insights company Sensor Tower.

"We estimate that Truth Social has so far reached approximately 1.2 million installs since its launch," Sensor Tower spokeswoman Stephanie Chan told the Wrap. The website also saw a significant drop in traffic. While the website saw its numbers start out around 6 million weekly visits in the first week, according to Similarweb, that number dropped to 1.9 million weekly visits between March 20-27.

While the former president attempted to promote Truth Social during its release, he has yet to post more than once on the network since its launch. Its access has also been limited by its exclusivity to the Apple App Store. While Truth Social announced that it intended to release an Android app, the release date for the app is to be determined. Several conservative influencers have also expressed doubts about the long-term viability of the networks.

Collins A Yes On Ketanji Brown Jackson!

Collins will support KBJ.

It will be over 51 votes. It will be low but an assured confirmation of federal judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. She will be the first African American woman to sit on the highest court of the land. She will replace Stephen Breyer, current Associate Supreme Court justice who is retiring at the end of the session. 

We are watching Clarence Thomas. He was admitted to the hospital last week on an infection but was released to home. The Supreme Court confirms he will return to hear cases in a few days.

Jackson faced a slew of conspiracy theories and dog whistle attacks from Republicans senators.

Sen. Karen Sasse (R-NE) condemned the attacks from his fellow Republicans but confirms that he will not vote for Jackson.

Now it is confirmed that Sen. Karen Collins (R-ME) will be voting on confirming Jackson.

"After reviewing Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's extensive record, watching much of her hearing testimony, and meeting with her twice in person, I have concluded that she possesses the experience, qualifications, and integrity to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. I will, therefore, vote to confirm her to this position," Collins, a moderate Republican often seen as a swing vote for judicial nominations, said in a statement on Wednesday.

Collins met for a second time with Jackson on Tuesday night, and after more than an hour behind closed doors, the senator emerged calling the meeting "useful and productive," adding that Jackson "provided clarification on some of the issues," and indicating that some of those included the judge's sentencing of child porn offenders and her representation -- as a federal public defender -- of Guantanamo Bay detainees.

"In my meetings with Judge Jackson, we discussed in depth several issues that were raised in her hearing. Sometimes I agreed with her; sometimes I did not," continued Collins. "And just as I have disagreed with some of her decisions to date, I have no doubt that, if Judge Jackson is confirmed, I will not agree with every vote that she casts as a Justice. That alone, however, is not disqualifying."

The announcement Wednesday was a crucial win for President Joe Biden, who set a goal from the outset of securing bipartisan support for his nominee, who would be the first Black woman to take a seat on the high court.

The New York Times was the first to report the development.

Some Republicans, at the more than 23 hours of hearings last week, took issue with the nominee accusing President George W. Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld of "war crimes" as she challenged in a legal brief the detention of some terrorism suspects post-Sept. 11, but Jackson said at the time she was naming the two men in their official capacity, not personally. Later, in similar detention challenges, those documents would bear the name of President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

Republicans, led by Sen. Karen Hawley (R-MO) also challenged Jackson's sentencing of child porn offenders in some of the most explosive allegations of the proceedings. A handful of offenders received sentences below federal guidelines from Jackson, but the prison terms were above those recommended by the probation officer, putting her in the mainstream of judicial action. One case, in particular, though, saw a Jackson sentence below that recommended by the probation officer.

The White House team working on Jackson's nomination has indicated they hope to secure the support of more Republicans, but senior GOP aides have indicated they would be surprised if that support was more than the judge received for her past nominations. Collins supported Jackson more recently for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, along with Sens. Karen Graham (R-SC) and Karen Murkowski (R-AK).

One more road to cross.

But this time around, it does not appear Jackson will get Graham's support, though the senator has said he will announce a final decision soon. The South Carolina Republican -- a senior member of the Judiciary Committee -- took issue with her over the "war crimes" designation, saying that was "a bridge too far" for him. He also laid into Jackson, in one fiery exchange, for not "throwing the book" at child pornography offenders.

Murkowski on Tuesday said she was more focused on the services honoring her late-Alaska colleague, Rep. Don Young. Murkowski also supported Jackson for the appeals court.

And all eyes are on Sen. Karen Romney (R-UT) who sat down with Jackson on Tuesday for an hour-long conversation.

Though he was seen as a possible Republican supporter, Sen. Karens Tillis of North Carolina, who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced Wednesday that he intends to vote against Jackson's confirmation. 

He noted the historic nature of her nomination and said he was "impressed" with her knowledge and composure during the hearings -- but he noted that he "still hold(s) my initial concerns that she may legislate from the bench instead of consistently following the Constitution as written."

"I am also disappointed that she is reluctant to take a firm public stand against a liberal, dark money court-packing scheme that represents a fundamental threat to the independence of the federal judiciary, even though other justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer have done so," Tillis said in a statement.

Sen. Karen Grassley of Iowa, also on the Judiciary panel, has yet to announce how he will vote and has said he is still reviewing the hearings and support material.

The Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on the nomination Monday morning, putting Jackson on track to be confirmed by the end of next week. If she does not get the support of Grassley and deadlocks in committee, Democratic leadership can move to force the nomination out of committee and still get to a full Senate confirmation vote by week's end.

Cawthorn Claims GOP Lawmakers Have Orgies In The Snow!

Cawthorn said an ugly truth.

White nationalist lawmaker says his first year in Washington was nothing more than orgies, alcohol and cocaine. He said that he saw members and staff engage in activities that were deviant. He said that they practice in doing these things while trying to write laws preventing others from doing the same.

It riled the Republicans and it could come at a point where they do a Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY) move by endorsing a primary challenger.

Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC), a member of the far-right Freedumb Caucus was paralyzed from the waist down after one of drunk friends fell asleep at the wheel and crashed their vehicle into a retaining wall in Florida.

He became the Republican nominee for the House of Representatives district in western North Carolina after he beaten a Washed Up 45 endorsed candidate. He ended up getting full support from the former president soon after. He is the youngest member of the current House session. 

He soon got married to a woman shortly after. The marriage only lasted eight months.

He is a fan of Nazi German propaganda but denies he is a neo Nazi.

He has allegations of sexual harassment and abuse.

He had said controversial remarks that riled up Washington. 

Some in the North Carolina Republican Party want to deny him another term. Since he supported the insurrection and may have had contact with many of these seditious idiots, he may be ineligible for a term.

Cawthorn is like Idiot Karen Greene, Karen Boebert, Karen Cruz, Karen Graham, Karen Jordan, Karen Roy and Karen Gaetz. They do nothing other troll for click bait. 

Trust me, they're just like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. They are the far left's version of do nothings for click bait.

They are activists not lawmakers. 

They are getting paid taxpayer dollars and yet they all rank at the bottom of legislative duties. That means they literally do nothing for their constituents. All they do is appear on television, radio and the internet trying to become viral.

Cawthorn had to personally meet QAnon leader Karen McCarthy. It told an ugly truth that exposed the Republican Party as a bunch of hypocrites. McCarthy who allegedly has these type of hobbies told Cawthorn that he is loosing faith in him. 

He wants him to shape up or ship out.

He described a lawmaker asking him to join a sex orgy at their home and he observed lawmakers using cocaine and called them a bunch of hypocrites.

Rep. Karen Perry (R-PA) and many in the Freedumb Caucus are so pissed about the remarks, they threatened to kick him out the group.

So the QAnon leader will have to talk to him and others to ensure they are not fucking up their chances at the Midterms. The Republicans want to focus on President Joe Biden agenda as well as culture wars and not their ridiculous actions.

Piss Drunk Urinates In Detroit Gas Station After Credit Card Decline!

Drunk man urinates on snacks after his credit card was declined.

What are the odds for another "You Can't Fix Stupid" story?

Being bit by a Gabonese pit viper, Will Smith attacking Chris Rock at the Oscars and now this.

Social media is lit over a man and his friend's blatant vandalism of an Amoco Gas Station in Detroit, Michigan. The suspects were caught on camera being belligerent towards a late night gas station worker after one of their credit cards declined.

Police are looking for a man who was caught on camera urinating on bags of snacks inside a Detroit gas station on Sunday night. pic.twitter.com/FuthR5YPwS

— Metro Detroit Crime (@CrimeInTheD) March 29, 2022

The two would tell profanities and taunt the cashier to fight them.

What got the world talking was the suspect whipping out his penis and decides to relieves himself on the candy and chips. The suspect urinates on the food and racks. Before that, he would also snatch up a handful of snacks some that he urinated on and leave the store.

The suspect and his friend would later drop their pants and give the cashier a rump of the moon before leaving the property.

The Detroit Metro Police now want that man and his friend. 

The gas station is part of a program that gives direct information to the law if any criminal activity occurs.

While peeing, the man made eye contact with the clerk and asked, "We on Green Light?" referring to Project Greenlight, the program where police monitor cameras at Detroit businesses.

It is a Project Greenlight location, and police know who the man is.

"If he thinks this is a joke, well we'll be seeing him pretty soon," said DPD Deputy Chief Eric Ewing.

So he faces criminal mischief, shoplifting, vandalism, public indecency and public intoxication. He could face driving while intoxicated if he was the driver. These are misdemeanors but they carry time in the iron college.

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

Ironic, if he thought this was funny, I can't wait until his family, his friends and his employer see this.

Washed Up 45 Calls For Putin To Release Dirt On Biden!

Washed Up 45 once again demands Russia to find dirt on Joe Biden.

The former president decided to do another infamous call to a foreign power to interfere in the U.S. elections. If you consider that his first call to release the Hillary Clinton campaign emails and then the second call to find the Hunter Biden laptop, it would seem that he has not learned his lesson from the first impeachment.

Fired Ukraine prosecutor, Russian money, handsy Joe, Bernie should have won, Tara Reade, Hunter's laptop, Biden's dementia and spying on Washed Up 45 ..... Must be another scandal for the former president.

We have to distract from the Jan. 6 investigation. Bring up unfounded claims from fake journalists and Russian propaganda.

He was twice impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. The first time, a whistleblower told the U.S. Justice Department to that the former president was trying to hold funding for Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky. The reason was he demanded that Zelensky would release a statement saying Joe Biden committed a crime. The Republicans said he would learn his lesson. 

Nope. 

The second time, he encouraged his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol.

Now in an interview with a fake journalist who is also under investigation, Washed Up 45 calls for the Russian Federation to release dirt on President Joe Biden.

It is bad. 

The former president wants to allow a hostile foreign power interfere in our elections.

He talks to "Deep State" Solomon.

It was published on Tuesday, the former reiterated his unproven claim that Yelena Baturina, a Russian oligarch and the wife of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, gave $3.5 million to a business that Hunter Biden, a son of Joe Biden, helped found.

“She gave him $3.5 million so now I would think Putin would know the answer to that,” said Washed Up 45. “I think he should release it. I think we should know that answer.”

“How is it that the mayor of Moscow, his wife gave the Biden family three and a half million dollars?” he added. “I think Putin now would be willing to probably give that answer. I’m sure he knows.”

This is not the first time Washed Up 45 has called on Russia to release damaging information on a political rival. While running for president in 2016, Washed Up 45 called on Moscow to release the hacked emails of then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Additionally in the interview, the former president remarked, “I’m the best thing that ever happened to NATO, because I made them pay. So NATO has plenty of money now.

“And by the way, that’s another, I’m the one who brought up Nord Stream 2 … . I’m the one that blocked it. I terminated it. They weren’t gonna have it. [Biden] then opened it.”

While Biden did waive sanctions against Nord Stream 2, a gas pipeline between Russia and Germany, in 2021, he implemented them last month following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Will Rocks An Apology!

Will knows the Oscars ain't going to let this one go.

It was a memorable moment in U.S. history. A major actor storms the stage and lays a straight up back hand on a presenter at a major awards show.

Will Smith has broken the internet. If weren't aware of it, you will be. I mean it will die down in a few days or so, but the internet is burning up on whether Smith may have damaged his career. I give him mad props for standing up for wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, but the storming the stage and slapping Chris Rock was an unfortunate and really disgraceful act. 

Jokes push the bar. Rock is a comedian who pushes the bar. You were expected to be roasted by entertainers at these events.

You know this is never going to happen again right!

Folks are saying why didn't Will put his hands on singer August Alsina. He literally slept with Jada for three years.

People think that Rock had it coming. Some believe joking about Black women always seems like it degrades their status in the world. I mean folks are divided over the whole controversy.

After apologizing to the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences for the incident, he tearfully dedicated his award to his family, Richard Williams, his daughters Venus and Serena, the people who made King Richard and of the viewers who saw that.

He went on to dance the night away knowing that the controversial slap will all but certain doom his career.

Will Smith apologizes to Chris Rock on social media.

Now I don't know how he can recover. But his apology to Rock is a small start.

"Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.

I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.

I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us."

Now we go back to the infamous Kanye West interruption of Taylor Swift when the pop star accepted her MTV Award.  Out of safety for Trevor Noah, Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian, the Grammys barred him from performing and causing outbursts. They made the right move. It will keep Ye from storming the stage to make an ass of himself.

The Academy Awards have condemned the incident and confirm there will be consequences for this incident.
