BE WARNED EXTREMELY GRAPHIC VIOLENCE. TAKE DISCRETION.
For conservatives, when crime happens in America, they often blame Democrats for policies that allow firearms on the streets. Of course, the Republicans refuse to pass legislation to curb gun violence because in their minds, they don't want to infringe on the Second Amendment. But they are quick to point how crime is an epidemic.
The same folks who refuse to hold accountable those individuals responsible for the deadly U.S. Capitol riot are quick to complain about Democrats and crime.
Another mass shooting in America. In California's state capital, Sacramento, a city of 532,000, six people are killed in another senseless act of gun violence. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gavin Newsom, members of California's U.S. House, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) were notified.
Six people were killed and 12 injured before dawn Sunday in Sacramento when multiple shooters fired amid crowds as bars and nightclubs emptied for the night in the second mass shooting in five weeks in California’s capital city, the police chief said.
Three men and three women were killed, Police Chief Kathy Lester told reporters. Sgt. Zach Eaton, a police department spokesman, said investigators believe there were at least two shooters.
The suspects were still at large and authorities said they had found a stolen handgun and were reviewing video footage posted to social media that showed what appeared to be an altercation before the gunfire erupted.

Detectives were trying to determine the sequence of events before the shooting and Eaton said they “don’t know if that fight actually lead to the shooting.”
A police camera captured part of the shooting, Lester said, and investigators have located hundreds of pieces of evidence amid a scene that Lester described as “really complex and complicated" — so much so that the bodies of the victims remained on the street hours later.
The crime scene stretched across multiple city blocks, with dozens of blue and yellow evidence markers dotting the pavement. At least four of the wounded battled life-threatening gunshot injuries in hospitals, officials said.
Mass shootings happen everyday.
Kelsey Schar was staying on the fourth floor of Citizen Hotel when she said she heard gunshots and saw flashes in the dark. She walked to the window and “saw a guy running and just shooting,” Schar told The Associated Press in an interview.
Her friend, Madalyn Woodard, said she saw a crowd in the street scatter amid the gunfire and a girl who appeared to have been shot in the arm laying on the ground. Security guards from a nearby nightclub rushed to help the girl with what looked like napkins to try to stanch the bleeding.
A video posted on Twitter showed people running through the street amid the sounds of rapid gunfire in the city located 75 miles (120 kilometers) from San Francisco.
The area where the violence occurred on the outskirts of the city’s main entertainment district is packed with restaurants and bars. Nightclubs close at 2 a.m. and it’s normal for streets to be full of people at that hour.
The district is anchored by the Golden One Center that attracts big-name concerts and is home to the NBA’s Sacramento Kings, who are hosting a game Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors. City officials have invested heavily in the area to promote development in the area and police said there would be extra patrols downtown ahead of the basketball game.
“This morning our city has a broken heart,” Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg said. "We don’t know all the facts but we know there were mass casualties in a very short amount of time.”
Officers were patrolling the area near the shooting site two blocks from the State Capitol at about 2 a.m. when they heard gunfire and rushed to the scene, Lester told reporters. They found a large crowd gathered and six people dead in the street.
Twelve other people were also shot and wounded in the melee. Police urged witnesses or anyone with recordings of the shooting to contact police.
“We’re asking for the public’s help in helping us to identify the suspects in this,” Lester said.
Pop duo Aly & AJ performed Saturday at Sacramento’s Crest Theatre and their tour bus was caught in the gunfire, the musicians said on Twitter. No one in their touring group was hurt, the tweet said.
Sunday’s violence was the third time in the U.S. this year that at least six people have been killed in a mass shooting, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. And it was the second mass shooting in Sacramento in the last five weeks.
On Feb. 28, a father killed his three daughters, a chaperone and himself in a church during a weekly supervised visitation. David Mora, 39, was armed with a homemade semiautomatic rifle-style weapon, even though he was under a restraining order that prohibited him from possessing a firearm.
Councilmember Katie Valenzuela, who represents the area where the shooting happened, said she’s fielded phone calls reporting many violent incidents in her district during her 15 months in office.
Valenzuela cried at a news conference as she told reporters that the latest phone call woke her up at 2:30 a.m. Sunday with details about the latest tragedy.
“I’m heartbroken and I’m outraged,” she said. “Our community deserves better than this.”
Sacramento night life ruined by a domestic terrorist.
The city's downtown development effort was working until the pandemic hit and forced many businesses to close, according to Grant Gorman, a bartender who lives near the place the shooting happened.
“Just when we were reaching some semblance of it being a bustling downtown area that was safe and we had a bunch of open businesses to go to, the pandemic hit it and just crushed it,” Gorman said.
Steinberg, the mayor, said in recent years it “has been a very difficult time in downtown Sacramento and Sacramento as a whole.”
He added that the shooting “gives pause to our entire community” but urged people to continue visiting the area despite the recent violence.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement that his administration was working closely with law enforcement officials.
“What we do know at this point is that another mass casualty shooting has occurred, leaving families with lost loved ones, multiple individuals injured and a community in grief," he said.
Kay Harris, 32, told AP she was asleep when one of her family members called to say they thought her brother Sergio Harris had been killed. She said she thought he had been at the London nightclub, which is near the shooting.
Harris said she has been to the club a few times and described it as a place for “the younger crowd.” She spent the morning circling the block waiting for news.
“Very much so a senseless, violent act,” she said.
One of the victims was named.
Pamela Harris, Sergio Harris' mother, told The Sacramento Bee the family has not heard from him yet.
“We just want to know what happened to him,” Pamela Harris told the newspaper. “Not knowing anything is just hard to face.”
Berry Accius, a community activist, said he came to the scene shortly after the shooting happened.
“The first thing I saw was like victims. I saw a young girl with a whole bunch of blood in her body, a girl taking off glass from her, a young girl screaming saying, ‘They killed my sister.’ A mother running up, ‘Where’s my son, has my son been shot?’“ he said.
Are you tired of thoughts and prayers when it comes to gun violence?
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!
Washed Up 45 takes his ass to Lower Peninsula. His trip to eastern Michigan was full of baseless conspiracies, attacks on President Joe Biden and the usual word vomit.
He took aim at Hillary Clinton and bragged about his victory against her. He claimed that Michigan voters actually voted for him over his opponent Biden. He slammed the Detroit/Wayne County Board of Elections. He believes that people in Wayne County conducted voter fraud and believed that he was robbed of votes. He still believed the election was rigged. It was not.
He slammed the pandemic response from Biden.
He claimed that gas prices were at its lowest when he was in office. With the country in a global pandemic, oil prices dropped and we were in a global recession. The former president ignored the warnings and allowed the coronavirus spread from coast to coast.
The former president allowed a handful of politicians on the stage to promote baseless conspiracies and false claims about former president Barack Obama and Democrats in general.

Trump warns of “AOC plus three” and attempts to list the three for the crowd but only comes up with two of the three: Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

Rep. Karen McClain (R-MI) claimed that the Washed Up 45 was responsible for nabbing Osama bin Laden. She was tap dancing on the allegations that Biden allowed 13 American soldiers die in Afghanistan in the closing of the longest war in American history. Not like the 20,000 others who died fighting a winless war mattered to her. And it went through four presidents, beginning with a Republican president who ignored the briefings stating Bin Laden's allies were planning an attack. Mind you the former al Qaeda leader was killed in Pakistan and Republicans refused to allow Obama to withdraw from Afghanistan.
Meijer's future in Congress in jeopardy. Washed Up 45 endorsed his opponent.
The Republicans don't seem to care when Washed Up 45 calls military members who died suckers and losers.
He brought up the Hunter Biden "laptop from hell." Demands Republicans and Russia to find dirt on the president's son.
The former president attacks AOC plus three. He named Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). He could not remember Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA).
He goes after Rep. Karen Meijer (R-MI), a family member of the Midwest superstores Meijer. The lawmaker joined with nine other Republicans in voting to impeach the former president for instigating his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol.
Meijer is located in six states and is one of the most popular superstores in the Midwest.
It was founded in Greenville, Michigan by Meijer's great-grandfather Hendrik and built as a hypermarket by his grandfather Fred. His father Hank is the CEO.
Its corporate headquarters is located in Grand Rapids and its suburb of Walker.
The lawmaker has signalled he is running for a second term. But he is facing a challenge from the far right. Gay coonservative John Gibbs is challenging Meijer.
The former president intentionally mispronounced his name.
The former president ignored the former Detroit Police chief James Craig, the Black coonservative running for governor of Michigan. He also ignored John James, a perennial coonservative figure who hopes to win a seat in the House after two failed Senate bids.
He said that America should kneel to the flag and GOD in an attempt to attack Colin Kaepernick.
He vows to stop critical race theory and trans girls from playing girl sports.
A hot plate of bullshit coming fresh out the ass of a castrated bully.
What do you get when you cross a Marjorie Taylor Greene with a Lauren Boebert?
You get a Sarah Palin.
The monster Karen from Wasilla.
The former Alaskan governor and reality television star officially running to replace Don Young. The longtime lawmaker died awaiting his flight to Alaska.
Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee wants to be with her girls.
Palin, a conservative firebrand who helped stoke the anti-establishment sentiment that has engulfed the party since she ran alongside the late Arizona Sen. John McCain years ago, said in a statement that she planned to “honor” the nearly five decades Young served in Congress by “offering myself up in the name of service to the state he loved and fought for.”
The former governor will be among 40 or so candidates vying for the single district seat.
“America is at a tipping point,” she said. “As I’ve watched the far left destroy the country, I knew I had to step up and join the fight.”
Palin joins a crowded field of candidates to succeed Young, the longtime Alaska representative who died last month at age 88. Although she is years removed from her last electoral bid, she enters the race as a household name in the state.
Remember Palin was complaining about Michael Bloomberg tax on fattening foods. She slurped on a 7-Eleven Big Gulp and a bag of Fritos.
A special primary will take place June 11 and the special general election will take place on August 16, the same day as Alaska’s statewide primary. The contests will be the first to use the state’s new election system, where all candidates run on a single ballot in the primary and the top four candidates advance to the general election.
In the general election the winning candidate will be determined by ranked-choice voting.
Since running for vice president, Palin has not sought any other elected office, even as the party has moved more towards the rhetoric that made her standout as a vice presidential pick.
In 2009, shortly after she and McCain lost to then-Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Palin resigned as Alaska governor, citing the pressure and financial restraints that came with a host of ethics complaints. Since then, Palin has gone on to be a staple on the Republican convention circuit, regularly appearing at large gatherings of Republican activists to lambast Democrats. And she has been a sought-after endorsement for some Republican hopefuls, including Donald Trump when he successfully ran for President in 2016.
Palin has teased a possible bid in recent media appearances.
“There is a time and a season for everything and if this season is one where I need a more official platform to have then, yeah, I’m going to throw my hat in the ring because we need people who have cojones,” she told Fox. “We need people, like Donald Trump, who has nothing to lose, like me.”
I am reminded that Biden debated Palin in 2008. It was a trainwreck for the McCain campaign. It was a precursor for Washed Up 45's crazy antics.
Will Smith resigns from the Academy Awards board of governors. But it is not over, because the sanctions imposed will be severe given that the "slap heard across the world" will be forever seared in the minds of millions. An incident that will be a part of American history and a possible career damage to the media mogul.
The Academy followed up with two subsequent statements that more forcefully criticized Smith. On Wednesday, the group said Smith had violated the Academy’s standards of conduct and that he had 15 days to provide a written response explaining his actions. The organization said Smith faced suspension, expulsion or other sanctions.
Smith, facing possible expulsion or suspension after he assaulted Chris Rock during last Sunday’s Oscars telecast, has instead resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. The move comes as the actor is embroiled in the gravest crisis of his career and as the organization behind the Academy Awards has struggled in its attempts to deal with the fallout from the altercation. In a statement, Smith called his actions “shocking, painful and inexcusable” and said that he will accept any additional consequences that the Academy’s Board of Governors deems appropriate.
“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” Smith said. “I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.”
Smith also acknowledged that his actions overshadowed other winners at the 94th Academy Awards.
Chris Rock continues to dodge questions about the slap.
“I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film,” he stated, concluding with “change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”
Academy president David Rubin replied to his resignation, saying in a statement, “We have received and accepted Mr. Will Smith’s immediate resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. We will continue to move forward with our disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, in advance of our next scheduled board meeting on April 18.”
After a standing ovation, Rock exclaimed, “Yo, let me do the show! How was your weekend?” he began. “I don’t have a bunch of shit about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend." https://t.co/Keka0MVhSd
Chris's brothers Chad and Tony Rock ain't down for that apology. They said that Smith's actions are unforgivable and personal.
Tony said that the whole ordeal puts all comedians at risk of potential harm. The risk of telling jokes that could upset people is forcing comedy clubs to beef up security and eliminate phone from being used while seeing comedians perform.
The whole ordeal may keep Will from Academy Awards, The Grammys and every other event that he has participated in during his time as a rapper, comedian, actor, film director, film producer and father figure.
It was a very smart idea for the Grammys to keep Kanye West from attending. He would have done something similar or he would have crashed an awards presentation like the infamous Taylor Swift MTV VMA Awards incident. Ye threatened Trevor Noah on social media and is considered threatening towards Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson.
It is a major change in the life of a legendary comedian and actor.
Jerrod Carmichael will do his latest bit and formally come out as gay. The iconic comedian will make his SNL debut. His HBO special will address him coming out.
Rothaniel, which was taped in February at the Blue Note JazzClub in New York will tell stories about how Carmichael struggled with his sexuality and watching a family member cheat and dealing with this secret for years.
He tells a story about his father cheating on his mother for years. He said that he knew things seem different when he grew up.
"After that was out in the open, I was left alone feeling like a liar, because I had a secret. One that I kept from my father, my mother, my family, my friends, and you. Professionally, personally. And the secret is that I'm gay."
After a long silence, the audience clapped, to Carmichael's relief.
"I'm accepting the love, I really appreciate the love. My ego wants to rebel against it. I rebelled against it my whole life. I thought I'd never, ever come out. At many points I thought I'd rather die than confront the truth of that, to actually say it to people. Because I know it changes some people's perceptions of me. I can't control that."
Carmichael, 34 was the creator of the groundbreaking Black sitcom, The Carmichael Show. It lasted three seasons with Amber Stevens West, Lil Rel Howery, Tiffany Haddish, Loretta Devine and David Alan Grier.
Carmichael walked away from the series after NBC blocked two episodes they deemed too controversial. The episode dealt with Jerrod surviving a mass shooting. The network decided that it wasn't the right time for that episode, so they pulled it. They also pulled a LGBTQ and Muslim themed episode as well.
The show was expected to be renewed for a fourth season but Carmichael felt that the network continued to censor his content, so he decided to end it.
He has hinted that he was gay in his documentary series, Home Videos in which he had relationships with men and women. But now he's fully embracing him being gay.
Lil Nas X, Da Brat, Niecy Nash, Raven-Symone, Kal Penn, Jussie Smollett, DreamDoll, Tessa Thompson, Queen Latifah, Wanda Sykes and Charles Blow are notable LGBTQ celebrities who came out in their way.
The White House Press Secretary is planning on leaving soon. Once Jen Psaki leaves the White House, she will join MSNBC for an untitled role. She did confirm that she wasn't going to be Press Secretary for more than a year.
Psaki, 43, who is still fleshing out details with the company, is expected to leave the White House around May, Axios reported earlier Friday.
Psaki will host a show for NBCUniversal’s streaming platform, Peacock, Axios reported.
Jen and Symone Sanders, the former advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris will be competing for the spot that Rachel Maddow once held. Symone had left the White House in late December and is grooming for a show and potential political run in the future. Symone will host a weekend show on MSNBC.
Maddow is not leaving MSNBC but she is finding another role with the progressive network. She is going to give up her 9pm spot in the near future.
Psaki is best known for her confrontations with Fox's Doofus Doocy. The two have often had a back and forth going on whenever he asks a dumb question about Biden's policies. Doocy often wants to kick out a "Softball Hannity-esque" question to Psaki or President Joe Biden. They often slap that shit down quickly.
But of course, Fox runs parts of the remarks and then use it as an attack on the president.
Psaki has confirmed that she tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time. She is expected to return back to the podium on Monday.
Deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has also been out with COVID-19. White House communications director Kate Bedingfield has held most of the briefings, which was seen as an opportunity to effectively audition for the post.
Psaki has worked with the White House counsel’s office about her departure and no contracts have been signed yet, Axios reported. Additionally, she has talked to senior officials about the move but has not formally announced it to the press team.
Psaki was asked at a briefing last month if she could confirm whether she was looking for a new job, but she indicated at the time that she was not ready to leave the podium yet.
Dingy McEnany who was Washed Up 45's last press secretary was on CNN before joining the White House in the final years of that disgraceful presidency. McEnany is now being the dingy blonde chick on Fox.
Her predecessors, Dancing With Spier is on Newsmax, Karen Huckabee Sanders is running for governor of Arkansas, and Stephanie Grisham is working hard to keep Washed Up 45 for ever making it back to the White House.
John Fetterman is trying to avoid questions about him pulling a firearm on a Black man.
The lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania skips a Democratic debate with Black clergy. His main opponent is calling him out for skipping this debate because folks are now finding out about his past.
Leftists are backing John Fetterman, the state's lieutenant governor. The former mayor of the Borough of Braddock was the surprise nominee for the state's lieutenant governor race.
He won along with incumbent governor of Pennsylvania Tom Wolf.
Again, leftists are touting a poll saying that Fetterman is leading against Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA) and former Pennsylvania state senator Malcolm Kenyatta. A majority are undecided, so this skipping of a debate will be a bullet to the gut for Fetterman.
The cat is finally out the bag.
News: Fetterman leads Lamb by double digits in Pennsylvania
Unlike John, I've faced Republicans in tough races before — & beaten them three times in a row. They've spent millions trying new ways to attack me, and failed.
You know what you get with me. You don’t with Fetterman.
Lamb finally acknowledged that Fetterman had chased a Black jogger with a firearm.
In 2013, Fetterman was the mayor of Braddock when he said he heard gunshots not far from his home, then saw someone running from the area. Fetterman said he called the police, pursued the man, and said in a TV interview at the time that he confronted him with a gun to stop him from fleeing before police arrived. An officer who responded to reports of gunfire searched the man, Christopher Miyares, and found he was unarmed, according to a 2013 police report.
Keep working.
The incident drew relatively little attention in 2016, when Fetterman lost his first Senate run in the Democratic primary. But it has lingered in the years since, with a news report about it by Pittsburgh’s ABC affiliate circulating on social media, and in political circles among Fetterman critics.
Fetterman is brushing aside the controversy but Black voters in Pennsylvania haven't.
When you see the outcomes of how a 6'9" white man chasing down a Black man with a gun on a perception he looks suspicious, it kind of makes him look like he tried to lynch him.
Fetterman may have Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Bros. support, but a plurality of Democrats are looking at Fetterman as a weak candidate.
The Democrats see both Fetterman and Lamb as possible liabilities but Lamb is more relatable to Pennsylvania.
Fetterman comes off an unkempt and buffoonish. He looks like he won't take things seriously if he becomes a U.S. Senator. He wants to win over the click-bait base of Democrats who worship the alter of Bernie.
VOTE FOR CONOR LAMB! IGNORE THE NOISE! DON'T LET THE LEFTISTS AND FAR RIGHT EXTREMISTS WIN.
The former Olympian is joining the far right network as a contributor. It is a grooming for the potential of running as a Republican candidate for higher office. It worked for Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY), John Kasich and Washed Up 45.
Fox hires Caitlyn Jenner, the transgender reality television star and former Olympic runner. She is the father of Kylie Jenner and ex-stepfather of Kim Kardashian.
Jenner, Kanye West and others within the Kardashian bubble are Republicans. They just don't bring up politics like Ye and Caitlyn.
Jenner will appear on Softball Hannity in her premiere debut as a Fox contributor.
One white nationalist who formerly worked for Fox is calling it "woke" politics.
Transgender activists believe that is a disgrace for her to be on a network devoted to undermine trans visibility.
Transgender women are extremely vulnerable to attacks. From sex trade to violent encounters, transgender women are facing risks of deadly violence from abusive men, political agitators and family members disowning them.
Republicans are trying to ban transgender girls and women from participating in women sports in their attempts to drive culture wars into the Midterms.
Jenner was once a candidate running for California governor. She along with Larry Elder tried to undermine coronavirus restrictions imposed by California governor Gavin Newsom. Jenner only polled in single digits.
Newsom easily beaten Elder who ended up being the top choice in non commitment recall election.
Jenner right off the bat criticized swimmer Lia Thomas.
Thomas is getting death threats over the fact she is transgender and participating in NCAA division women's swimming. Thomas finished in second in her title.
Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO) decides to relentless troll by misgendering and drafting a resolution to honor the "rightful winner."
Jenner basically said that she doesn't give two fucks about trans activism. She is rich, powerful and not concerned about "woke" politics. The support many gave her during her time living as Bruce. The trans community gave support towards the transition and acceptance.
Maybe they should have not give her the respect. Maybe they should remind her that she killed two people on the Pacific Coast Highway. Caitlyn would have been in the iron college for 10 years but worked out a plea deal which kept it hush, hush and a payout of nearly $1 million to the families of the victims.
And we gonna act like that never happened!
Hell Fox had hired former convicts and racists to their network.
So Caitlyn will feel right at home with her kind of people.
Note: If you troll Jenner, she will block you on social media. So don't say "at least trans athletes never tried on their wife's or daughter's clothes...." Or perhaps, don't bring up "Caitlyn, didn't your drunk driving kill two people and lied about it by saying it was because you were on the phone and it was windy?" Oh, don't call her Bruce.
I'm not blocked by Jenner. I'm just anticipating for anyone willing to call out this scumbag for the blatant hypocrisy and shameless promotion of hate under the guise of trans rights. I am a strong supporter of the LGBTQ community.
I have family and friends who are LGBTQ and I am sick of folks trying to impose their ignorance on others because they don't like the "lifestyle."
Despite the polls saying President Joe Biden is not a good job, he is bringing in the results.
With rising fuel prices, inflation in food, medicine and rent, Biden is being hammered for this and not the results of a thriving economy. The president has tried to get Congress to pass his agenda. The House of Representatives is passing bills but they're dying in the Senate due to Republicans obstruction and two white nationalist Democrats voting with them.
Democrats know the potential for Republicans to win back Congress. They are literally running on culture wars and blaming Biden for inflation. The pandemic is easing up despite we having over 1 million people dying from the coronavirus.
The jobs report has 431,000 jobs in March and the unemployment rate took another step toward a half-century low, as companies pushed to add staff and more people entered the labor force in search of work.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast 490,000 new jobs in March, but the shortfall was made up for by stronger than previously reported hiring in the first two months of the year.
Vice President Kamala Harris is behind the scenes trying to push Biden's agenda.
The unemployment rate, meanwhile, slid to 3.6% from 3.8%, the government said Friday.
Just before the pandemic, the jobless rate had sunk to a 50-year low of 3.5%.
The healthy March employment report underscores why the Federal Reserve is moving to jack up a key short-term U.S. interest rate this year after keeping it near zero during the pandemic.
The rate of inflation has soared to a 40-year high of almost 8% and surging wages are now adding to the price pressures.
Hourly pay rose sharply again in March and pushed the increase in the past 12 months to 5.6%, the highest rate since the early 1980s.
Hiring in February and January was somewhat stronger than previously reported. Job gains in the two months were raised by a combined 95,000.
Millions of workers have taken advantage of the tight labor market by switching jobs, usually for higher pay or benefits or more flexibility. Some have left service-oriented jobs that require lots of face-to-face contact with customers.
Over the past year the average paycheck has increased by 5.6% — one of the fastest increases since the early 1980s.
Democrats voice frustration with Sinema and Manchin.
“Demand for labor is very strong, and with the labor force smaller than it was before the pandemic, firms are competing for workers and bidding up wages,” said senior economic advisor Stuart Hoffman of PNC Financial Services.
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 protest 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 conspiracies, Hunter Biden and his health.
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 86% of Americans have at least gotten one of the coronavirus vaccines. Millions of 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.
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.
Florida senator Scott is sharing the details of the Republican agenda despite McConnell's frustration with him.
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. Only because of their hatred of Biden and people who support him, Republicans have attacked reality as we know it.
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.
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. 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.
It does not look good for the victim of a Pensacola, FL Circle K.
She was severely burned by a homeless woman after a confrontation outside. The suspect was panhandling and harassing customers.
The victim, Joie Hellmich told the suspect to leave the property or have the police called.
The suspect was told to leave. She returned the next time with a cup of gasoline and a match.
The suspect tossed gasoline on the victim and lit the match.
She was severely burned and a co worker was burned trying to save her. The Escambia County sheriff described the victim's injuries as “serious, horrific, (and) life-threatening.”
The deputies said the suspect “calmly walked out of the store” and was located a few blocks away.
Detectives told The Pensacola News Journal there were multiple witnesses to the attack, which was also captured by security cameras inside the store.
The victim may not survive. She has two children.
The family of the store clerk who was attacked identified her said she is a mother of two and she is in critical but stable condition at a hospital. In a statement sent to WEAR the family said, “We heard the news from a good Samaritan who called us from scene. He was not the only angel at the scene and we are profoundly grateful for the people who acted with nothing short of true heroism yesterday.”
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The suspect is facing attempted murder, arson and disorderly conduct. The charges could put her in the iron college for life.
It is officially the end of Kmart. I don't see it lasting any longer than 2022.
Kmart has just three locations nationwide—in Westwood, NJ, Long Island, NY, and Miami, FL.
Transformco, the company owned by controversial hedge fund investor Eddie Lampert ruined the once viable and iconic brand. He literally piled debt on Kmart and Sears. He failed to stay with the times. He would ignore the concerns from workers, shoppers and business executives.
The pandemic also doomed the company. The holiday sales didn't pull in the good.
So we came to the final months of Kmart. These three locations will remain open for the time being. It will eventually begin the closing phase by Summer 2022. I will officially declare it the end of Kmart on this blog.
The company was incorporated in 1899 as S. S. Kresge Corporation and renamed Kmart Corporation in 1977. The first store with the Kmart name opened in 1962. At its peak in 1994, Kmart operated 2,486 stores globally, including 2,323 discount stores and Super Kmart Center locations in the United States.
There are only a dozen or so Sears locations left in the United States and territory of Puerto Rico.
Three years ago, Airmeiss "Ermias" J. Asghedom left this world with a legacy of hip-hop culture, icon status and a heart of gold. A man who turned his life of gang life around to make music and become a legend in the game.
Long live Nipsey Hussle.
Nip left behind his grief stricken fiance, Lauren London, their son and his older daughter from a previous relationship. Nip didn't get that opportunity to see his son grow up or his daughter become a woman.
It was senseless gun violence that took his life. And the suspect who shot him is expected to face trial.
The rapper was gunned down by this Black terrorist outside his Marathon Clothing store. He was shot 10 times outside the store.
The terrorist was upset over Nip not giving him props for his crappy rap skills. I mean it was a personal matter that led to this thug shooting him.
The terrorist shot him in his right chest, right side of his shoulder, one in his navel that shattered his spinal cord, one on the back of his scalp. The terrorist also kicked his body while shooting him.
Nipsey Hussle leaves behind two children.
The terrorist is expected to go to trial this year There were numerous delays due to the high profile status of the case, the fears the suspect could be under "suicide watch" and the threats of retaliation.
If convicted, he faces LIFE or DEATH. The likelihood of death is possible given how far he went to maliciously murder a man. The people who aided in his fleeing are also facing criminal charges as well.
They will be criminally charged either as complicit or aiding and abetting.
The incident was one of thing I've covered in 2019.
Nip was a person who focused on "giving solutions and inspiration" to young Black and Latino men.
He told the tales of being a trouble teen who rolled with the domestic terrorist group the Rollin' 60s, a Blood-affiliated group.
He was trying to build a legacy. From ownership to leadership was the motto of Nipsey Hussle.
He even had a minor appears in The CW series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The series star Rachel Bloom had invited him to write the song "The Sexy Getting Ready Song" and it helped build his talents.
This scumbag is on suicide watch.
It kind of sucks. You never hear about them until they pass away. Trust me, folks who never heard of Nipsey Hussle are now claiming he's like the future Tupac.
No, Nipsey was Nipsey.
He was his own style of rap. He never shied away from being a West Coast rapper who turned his life of being on the streets to being a legendary rapper and activist.
